AN: Hello everybody! Love the reviews! It's time I add a little more mystery to the equation lol. Hope you all enjoy! Also don't go anywhere after this story has ended. Got a special surprise for all my readers. You will get more information on the day I post the epilogue. Now on with the show!

Astrid's POV

The saying time flies when you're having fun couldn't be truer. It has almost been two months since I moved into the tower, and Hiccup, and I have gone on several dates, with him only getting kidnapped twice.

The criminal activity in the city is at an all time low this last month, and that has me worried. It just feels like the calm before the storm.

I flip through the TV channels in the common room looking for something interesting to watch, when Snotlout confidently walks in. "Hey babe, how about you, and me go out tonight." He says while flexing his muscles.

"Snotlout, if you haven't noticed. I have a boyfriend." I tell him getting irritated by his constant flirting.

"You're still with my wimpy cousin." Snotlout scoffs in derision. "What's so great about him?"

"Well for one he is a gentleman." I state giving Snotlout a glare. "And he has a sense of humor."

Before Snotlout could say anything else the alarms signaling an emergency went off. 'I knew this quiet wouldn't last.' I think as both Snotlout, and I head for the hub.

We sprint into the command center. I see Fishlegs already busy pulling up the video feeds. "We have two this time guys." He says. "The Phantom was spotted on several buildings in the north-east sector. What he's up to is still unclear. We also have a reported bank heist in the downtown area. Number of assailants is unknown at this moment."

"Alright we're going to need everybody in the field today." I tell them. "Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Fishlegs you guys take the bank robbers. Snotlout, and I will take Phantom."

"We will?" Snotlout asked surprised.

"Yes we will. He's Strike class. If he decides to retaliate, the twins and Fishlegs would be overpowered." I state. "Everyone move out!"

We transform, and split up. Our wings beating as fast as they could to take us to our destinations.

In no time we reach the north-eastern sector, the oldest part of Berk. Old brick flats, and dilapidated houses could be observed. This area was considered the slums of Berk, where gangs freely roamed.

"There!" Snotlout yells, and points to the black figure who just left the cell tower he was holding on to. We quickly intercept him. At last I get a good look at Phantom. He was dressed from head to toe in black. Black leather armor covered his body, along with a tinted visor to cover his eyes, and he was wearing a long form fitting black coat, which gave off a shimmer in the sunlight. The black bat-like wings were spread open, and were slowly beating to keep him hovering in front of us.

"Stop right there you! You won't get away with whatever evil scheme you're planning." Snotlout yells, puffing out his chest.

"Ah, Lady Lancer, and… Fire-fly, was it?" He says while smirking. "What makes you think I'm up to something?"

Snotlout could be seen fuming. "It's Fire-gnat, not Fire-fly!" He yells back. "And everything you villains do is evil!"

"You know Fire-fly would have been a way cooler name." Phantom states offhandedly. "So if I was just out to buy some ice-cream it would be evil?" He asks Snotlout who was gaping at him in astonishment.

"YES!... NO…. WAIT, WHAT?!" Snotlout answers completely taken off guard by that question.

Just then both of our communicators started beeping. I opened mine. "Go ahead you're on speaker." I say, as I hear static, and the honks of cars from the other side.

"We need you guys here now!" Was yelled from Ruffnut over the communicator. "It was the Grimborn brothers who robbed that bank. They made their getaway before we arrived. We are now in pursuit." Ruffnut explains as more static fills the com. "They cut two of the metal cables on the First Burrow Bridge. Fishlegs is holding it up now, but he needs help!"

"We need to move NOW!" I yell at Snotlout, and we speed towards the bridge. As we near I see Fishlegs struggling to hold the cables up as the bridge was being evacuated. Cracks were forming in the bridge's deck, and the strong sea winds that prevailed in this area were jostling the bridge more, and more. Suddenly a third cable snapped, and it was falling directly were civilians were being evacuated. We were at full speed but I realized we wouldn't be able to reach those people in time.

Suddenly a black blur flies pasts us at an incredible speed, and snatches up the cable before it impacts. I see Phantom pulling the cable back up, and then quickly welding it with his plasma blast.

"Go!" He yells at us. "I've got this!" He says then flies to Fishlegs who was struggling to hold two cables taut.

I give Phantom a grateful nod as he, and Fishlegs were welding the last cable together.

"Let's get these guys. They'll pay for putting all those innocent people in danger." I tell Snotlout, determination in my voice, as we race to help the twins.

It was nearly dusk when we all wearily made it back into the tower. The chase lasted far longer than we expected, because the Grimborn brothers decided to split up, but we finally cornered them.

Fishlegs, and Phantom had managed to do an emergency weld job on the cable bridge, and all civilians were successfully evacuated. The bridge is now closed for damage assessment, and repairs.

As we all blearily walked into the common room to head to our own bedrooms we noticed two figures sitting on the couch. It was the mayor, and his aide.

"Mr. Mayor." We greet, and he indicates for us to take a seat.

"We need to talk damage control." He tells us.

"Can't this wait until tomorrow Mr. Mayor? All of us are tired." I ask, but he simply shakes his head negatively.

"I'm afraid not. It's already on the news." He tells us, and then activates the TV. We listen to the news broadcast about today's events.

"This is Eret Eretson reporting live from the First Burrow Bridge which has now been shut down, and is due for immediate repairs. The Bridge was damaged by Viggo, and Ryker Grimborn as they made their escape from the First Memorial Bank with over 20 million dollars. Their dragon fire struck the bridge severing some of the cables, and endangering the lives of countless civilians. These two bank robbers have been apprehended thanks to our local superheroes, and are currently awaiting trial. It has also come to our attention that we have The Crusher, a member of the superhero team the Riders, and The Phantom, a known super villain to thank for the countless lives saved today on this bridge. Their quick thinking has avoided what could have been a tragedy"

The mayor turns the TV off again, and turns towards us. "What in bloody blue blazes made you ask a villain for help." He grounds out.

"We didn't ask for his help. He did it on his own." I tell the Mayor.

"We now have reporters swarming City Hall asking all sorts of questions, and Phantom is being hailed a hero." He says while clenching is fists.

"Wha…what's so bad about th..that?" Fishlegs squeaks out.

Mayor Stoick huffs out. "I don't think a simple Boulder class like you would understand." At this statement Fishlegs stiffens.

"Excuse me what does that mean Mayor Stoick!" I yell indignantly. How dare he degrade Fishlegs. The others were also shooting glares a the Mayor.

"I won't tolerate you degrading a member of my team. In this tower we don't tolerate bigotry. I think it's time you left." I tell him, and point to the door. He tries to protest, but notices the glares he is receiving.

"We'll pick this up another time." He says gruffly, and walks out of the room with his aide.

After the Mayor left we turn to see if Fishlegs was alright.

"Fish?" I ask, but Fishlegs simply stands, and says "I'm just gonna go to bed guys."

We nod, and wish him good night. After Fishlegs is gone I tell the others that we need to talk to him tomorrow to see if he's alright.

"No offence Snotlout, but your uncle is an ass." I tell him plainly. "But we have more pressing matters now."

"What do you mean Astrid?" Tuffnut asks while suppressing a yawn.

"The Mayor didn't want Phantom to be seen as a hero. It looked like he was trying to prevent that at all costs." I mumble. "There is something more going on here, and I want to get to the bottom of it."
