Yeah, another chapter goes up.


"Sled!" Rosetta cheered. Her friends were holding a large sign over their heads with his name on it.
"Ro, why are we the one's holding the sign with your boyfriends name on it?" Vidia said snarly. Rosetta only released a high pitched shriek in reply as Sled waved in her direction.

"GO KRISTOFF!" Anna yelled getting to her feet, "YOU CAN DO THIS!"
"If she's like this before the whistle has even gone off we're probably going to have to hold her back before long," Rapunzel said.
"If we're busy holding her back who's going to hold them back?" Elsa pointed to Eugene and Merida who were both standing on their seats jeering at DreamWorks' side.
"Your hoodlum team is going down!"
"We're the best team on the ice!"
"Hey mice, how was new year's?" Shrek called standing in front of their side of the stands. Several persons turned to glare at him. Rapunzel caught Merida's hand before she could move forward.

"It was wonderful, thanks for asking," Woody called.
"Did you like our little gifts?" The ogre smirked.
"Not really. It was rather tasteless. But what can we expect from a bunch of barbarians like you," Snow White said.
"Yeah, what internet site did you get the idea for that prank from?" Megara called, "My five year old cousin asked me for some help with a prank and I figured I could ask you since you're obviously right up his age group."
There came round of 'ohhhhh's and jerks from Disney at Meg's comment. Shrek and his friends bristled, "Tell me, how long did it take you to find all five?" Puss cut in before Shrek could blurt out some immature obscenity.
"Actually, finding the four didn't take that long. And naturally we saw right through simple charade of miss marking the pigs. Did you think that would really fool us?" Aladdin said.
"What?"
"Yeah, our ice queen figured it right away." Kristoff said from the ice, he and a few other members of the team had paused their warm ups when they saw the commotion.
"Is that so?" Fiona found Elsa in the crowd.
"You bet she did. Like someone like Elsa wouldn't be able to figure it out." Eugene said. Elsa tried not to look away from the glares of Shrek's posse, but she didn't enjoy having the attention suddenly turn on her.

"How'd you figure it out so fast?" Donkey asked.
"Please, share with us your great wisdom," Puss said.
Elsa wasn't sure who she was more upset with the moment, the DreamWorks' kids who'd come over here to stir things up or Kristoff and Eugene for dragging her right into the line of confrontation.
"It was obvious," She spoke loudly, hoping her voice wouldn't waver and give her away, "The entire time those pigs were running around no one actually saw one marked 3. Sure, it could have been hiding in a corner somewhere, but the chances of not a single person having spotting it at least once, were slim to none. And I agree with Meg, it was rather simple a prank. I expected more from our so called nemeses."
"Oh, and what would have you done, that would have been so much better?" Alex called out.
Elsa arched an eyebrow and scoffed, "Please. Disney doesn't need to resort to such juvenile acts of false bravado to stroke our on egos and prove that we're better than you moonies. We know we're better."

Several Disney kids broke into applause at Elsa's word, while Shrek gritted his teeth.
"What was that?" He practically snarled.
"You heard me," Elsa lifted her chin slightly looking down the bridge of her nose to glare at the group of DreamWorks' standing at the bottom of the stands. It had grown since Shrek started his jaunting, others gathering around to give their support.
"Say that again you ice -."
"Finish that sentence ogre." Merida cut him off, "I dear you,"
"What's it to you firecracker?"
"No one talks about my friends and gets away with it." Merida's gaze could leave infants scarred for life, "No one."
"Fire and ice aren't a good mix you know,"
Elsa and Merida smirked, "Maybe we mix better than you realize."
"Hey, ogre, you and your friends just going to stand there jawing," Ralph asked from the ice. "Or are you going allow my friends to enjoy the game. They don't need your mug spoiling the view." A few people burst out laughing at this.
"You tell him Ralphy!" Vanellope called.
"You got this brother!" Felix gave a thumbs up.
"You're one to talk Wrecker."
"The nickname's Wreck-it. And you'd do well to remember that,"
"Yeah? And why's that?" Shrek stepped closer to the barrier between him and the ice.
"Cause when someone asks 'what's the name of the guy who beat your behind' you're going to have to tell them it was Wreck it Ralph."
"Is that a threat?"
"You bet it is,"

"Whoa, okay," Hiccup skated between the two, pushing Shrek away from the barrier. "Let's all just calm down, huh? Shrek why don't you and everyone go find some seats. We're going to start the game soon."
"Don't be like that Haddock. We can take them if it comes to a fist fight." Donkey said.
"You sure about that?" Sled said standing next to Ralph.
"Maybe we should save it for the game guys," Kristoff said a little edgy now, not too keen about a fight starting right now."
"Shrek, don't worry. We'll get them back on the ice," Jack said joining Hiccup. Hiccup gave Jack a grateful look.
"I know you will," Shrek held out a fist and Jack bumped it.
"Let's get this game started yeah!" Hiccup called to his team. They answered with a bellow 'Hooligan!'
"Hooligan! Hooligan! Hooligan!"

"I'm surprised that you wanted to avoid conflict," Hiccup said to Jack as they skated across the ice.
"Why would I want conflict? I'm a pacifist, like you."
Hiccup snorted. "Yeah, right. You just didn't want anything to go down with you know who in such close proximity."
"Voldemort back?" Jack looked around dramatically and Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Okay, you may have a point," Frost admitted, taking a quick glance over his shoulder in Disney's direction. "But I meant what I said. We're going to show Disney's who the Kings of the ice are."
"You bet," Hiccup grinned and fist bumped with Jack.
"Give 'em hell Haddock."
"I always do," Hiccup smirked skating away from Jack. Beforehand the team had agreed Jack and North would be taking Ruffnut and Tuffnut's position as starting players. Hiccup's explanation for this was he wanted the starting line to be a surprise, but the real reason was because he had suspicion Jack would give his all and then some in this game. As he looked at the way Jack flexed his shoulders and got into a position to move on the drop of dime he knew is suspicions were correct. Smiling he turned to face Kristoff at center ice.

"You look happy. You aren't still laughing over that prank."
"Me? Oh no. You're not going to believe me, but I was actually against that,"
"Yeah right moony,"
"Told you wouldn't believe me." Hiccup shrugged and crouched waiting for the whistle. Kristoff cast a weary glance over him before getting to position himself. The whistle went off. Kristoff's and Hiccup's sticks hit the puck at the same time, causing it deflect out the left. Both boys followed it's path, but before either could so much as move Jack had taken possession. Jim and Peter were on top of him in seconds so he hit the puck backwards.
Astrid was there to receive and she and North skated towards the Disney's goal, Astrid already looking for a way past the monster of a boy that was Sully. She didn't get that far. Ralph checked her from the side hitting the puck towards Sled.

Snotlout was already moving towards him, but Sled swerved around, dodging the moony's attempted interception. Sled got the puck to the center line before passing back to Ralph. The giant knocked North out of his way closing on Fishlegs and DreamWorks' goal. With a powerful snap of his hockey stick the puck went rocketing to the goal. Disney's scream of triumph turned into a shout of disappointment as Fishlegs successfully blocked it.

DreamWorks chanted their goalie's name in celebration. But only for a few times before their attention was once again drawn to the puck, once again making its way to Disney's goal, in Jack's possession. Kristoff moved to block him, but he passed to Hiccup. He aimed and shot. Sully deflected it with his stick and Peter grabbed it. He only got a quarter of the way back up the ice before Astrid had stolen the puck and took another shot. Again Sully blocked, this time just barely. Peter had the puck in his possession again and he passed to Sled.

"This is just going back and fought," Elsa said as she watched Sled try to find an opening to pass, but Astrid and Snotlout got in his way, forcing him towards the wall. Hiccup checked him from behind and North took the puck. Ralph barred in form the side pinning North the wall allowing Jim to swipe the puck.
"Neither side is giving an in-oh!" Rapunzel cut herself off when Jim was suddenly knocked off his feet by Snotlout. Astrid took the puck passing to Jack, who passed to Hiccup. He lined up his shot but Kristoff knocked him back stealing the puck. He darted towards Fishlegs, avoiding North. He closed in on the goal from the right. Fishlegs moved to block. Kristoff hit…to the far left, towards Ralph, who fired the disk right behind Fishlegs.

Disney jumped to their feet screaming with joy.
"YES!"
"NICE SHOOTING RALPH!"
"Way to go Ralphy!"

Anna and Merida were jumping up and down hands thrown around each other's shoulders.
"Disney! Disney! Disney!" The cheer started up and continued into the next play. Hiccup took possession of the puck first and passed to Jack. Together they darted down the ice passing the puck back and fought between them in rapid succession. Sled tried to steal the puck but they swerved around. Jack passed to Hiccup before knocking Peter aside. Hiccup tried to get an angle to shoot but Sled cut between him in the goal, forcing him to over shoot the net. He skated in arc behind the goal, looking for an opening on other side. It was no good, Sully knew he'd be coming from that side and was protecting to well. But Jack and Astrid were both close enough to pass to.

He passed to Astrid, only to have Jim cut across and steal. Jack skated into him and they jostled for possession. Jim broke away with the puck for a second but Astrid took revenge and tackled him. She took the puck and tried to score. Sully blocked it. Hiccup grabbed the puck as it deflected off the goalie's stick and tried to fire from the other side. Sully saved again, blocking the goal with his legs. Jack grabbed the puck this time skating around the back of the goal. He passed to Astrid and she tried to score again. And Sully blocked again. Jim got the puck and passed to Kristoff. Disney's captain darted down the ice, weaving around North. Peter stopped Snotlout from checking him and Sled was in position to receive. He passed and Sled closed in for the kill, slamming a hit so powerful it could compete with the Mammoth's. His strikes may have been able to compete with Manny's, but Fishlegs had gone head to head with the Mammoth so blocking powerful hits wasn't something he couldn't do.

Snotlout took possession as the puck bounced off Fishleg's stick. He moved to center ice and passed to North. The burly wall of a boy knocked Jim out of his way and passed to Hiccup. Again he tried to score but Sully blocked. Jack grabbed the puck and flicked it back towards the goal. It hit the post at an angle and ricocheted into the back of the net.

"Yes!" He cried waving his hockey stick above his head. North clapped him on the back hard enough to make him stumble. Hiccup held up a hand for a high five.
"Nice," He said breathing heavy, exhausted by that last bout.
"I got…lucky," Jack said, he too savoring the moments of rest, "That was intense. I didn't think it was ever going to go into a goal.
"I know what you mean," Hiccup looked at the other players both on his team and Disney's. Everyone's chest was heaving. "Everyone is playing in top form. Geez, was that fifteen minutes already, the first period is almost over."
"And we're tied. Let's finish this set with the lead. Even if it's by one."
"Are you thinking about out speeding them?"
"If you think you can keep up,"
"The trash talk should be for the mice Jack," Hiccup smiled before calling out, "Astrid, handle the face off."
She nodded and Jack and Hiccup skated to the opposite side of the ice.

"Peter, Jim," Kristoff called when he noticed this, "Be on alert."
Kristoff skated to center ice, facing off with Astrid. They jostled for the puck, but Kristoff broke through. Snotlout barreled into him before he could get very far. Jack grabbed the puck as he skated pass, he and Hiccup blurs. He didn't hit the puck towards once he was close enough. Instead he darted in a wide arc around the back of Disney's goal and passed up to Hiccup. DreamWork's captain hit it towards the goal. Jim Hawkins incepted and passed to Peter. Jack chased after him, shocked when he could close the distance before Peter got within prime shooting distance. Jack threw himself in the puck's path, but only succeed in deflecting it. Luckily Astrid was there and she passed to Hiccup. He hurried back up the ice, but Jim and Peter flanked him, Jim checking him with his stick and Peter taking possession. Jack closed the distance again but he stopped by Jim this time. Hiccup tried to steal but Peter passed to Kristoff. He pushed back North as he tried to check him and slammed the puck into the back of DreamWorks' net.

Cheers and groans came from the respective sides.
"Man, this is ridiculous," Astrid said to Hiccup and Jack, "Only three scores in all in the first period. It will be miracle if someone can score again in the time remaining." She said looking at score board, showing there was less than two minutes left in the first period.
"We're stilling going to try," Hiccup said, "And even if we don't there are still two more periods."
The play turned into northing more than some quick but furious exchanges between players before the buzzer sounded.

Jack skated to the sidelines grabbing a bottle and throwing it back into his mouth.
"I'm getting tired just looking at you," Tuff said. Snotlout grunted at the comment and simply indicated to a water bottle.
"I don't think a single set has ever made me so tired." Astrid said.
"I know what you mean," Hiccup was doubled over hands on his knees.
"You okay?" Jack asked. Hiccup nodded and straighten up.
"After how well we did against Blue I was feeling pretty good about playing Disney. But it's almost like playing another game entirely. The feeling playing them is completely different from Blue."
Jack nodded in agreement.
"It's not only them. We've playing tighter too."
"There's no trophy or league involved here. The only thing the winner takes away is a sense of pride. But that pride is exactly we're playing so hard. Okay Disney has the lead. But it's only by one." Hiccup turned to team. "Let's go get some points."

As the second period started Hiccup asked Jack, "You want to handle the first face off."
"Sure…uh, no second thought you should do it." Jack frowned. Hiccup's brows frowned in confusion. He looked towards the center ice where Ralph was standing.
"Are you afraid of Wreck it?"
"Don't be stupid," Jack scoffed.
"Then why don't want to do the face off,"
"I just figured since you're captain and such."
"Does this have something to do with Voldemort?"
"What?" Jack was confused until it clicked Hiccup wasn't referring to you know who, "No, no, No of course not. Okay, maybe a little."
"I'm pretty sure she'll understand if you try to score."
"No, the thing is he's her ex." Jack said in a low voice.
"Really?" Hiccup's eyes grew in surprise, "Wait, you don't want go face him because what? You're afaird he'll upstage you? Or you'll upstage him?"
"Both, mostly the former."
Hiccup cracked up.
"Dude, everyone's looking."
"Sorry, but that's…you're jealous." Hiccup started another wave of laugher, "This is too good. You're jealous even though he…" Hiccup cut himself short to laugh. Jack grumbled and skated towards center ice if only to shut Hiccup up.

"Oh," Up in the stands Merida, Anna and Rapunzel started grinning, "Things just got very interesting." Merida turned to Elsa gauge her reaction. She shrugged.
"Anyone want to take bets who's going to win the face off?" She asked.
"What kind of question is that Merida?" Eugene asked, "We all want Ralph to get the puck."
"You're right," Merida said, but was still looking at Elsa. Elsa looked away from the ice for a second to shoot a nasty look at her friends before turning her attention back to the game. She hoped they couldn't tell she was biting her cheek.

The whistle sounded and Jack and Ralph jostled for several seconds but Ralph prevailed pushing past Jack with the puck. He swore to himself and turned sharply to follow. Snotlout tried to block Ralph but was pushed aside by a fearsome shoulder. Jack cut in front of him, gifting enough of a distraction for Hiccup to swipe the puck. But Sled checked him against the wall and Jim grabbed the puck. Astrid stole however. The back and forth continued, the puck going from one extreme of the court to another. Until however Jim managed to slip a shot around Fishlegs' guard, widening Disney's lead. The red and black was beside themselves, screaming their hearts out.

The second period saw five more goals. First Astrid scored, but Disney took two point in rapid succession after that, by Sled and Jim. Then Jack and Snotlout both scored, Snotlout with only seconds left in the clock ending the second period with the score 4-5 Disney in the lead.

At the start of the third and final period Hiccup switched North and Snotlout out for the twins. The fact they hadn't played yet proved useful as they started off strong, using their signature rapid passing style to score the first point of the third set, tying the game up. But not for long before Astrid score not long after them and DreamWorks took the lead for the first time that game. Disney wasn't having it though. Peter scored next, followed by Dash, who been switched in for Jim. Then Ruff scored once again tying the game, now at 7 apiece. At this point with less than ten minutes left in the game things when south.

Jack was in possession of the puck when Ralph slammed into him hard enough to flip vertical in the air before he hit the ice. The cry from DreamWorks was one of shock, which turned into a mixture of worry and anger. Even on Disney's side several people flinched, among them a blonde who couldn't help but cover her face.
"Oh god that looked painful," She groaned, "Is he okay?"
"Ralph?" Eugene asked, oblivious, "Yeah, he looks great."
"He isn't moving," Merida said, her own voice seeped in worry. That scared Elsa more than the actual hit had. Her moony hating best friend sounded worried when a moony wasn't moving.
"No, wait," Anna said and something that could pass for hope flooded into Elsa's chest. "He's getting up."
Elsa peeked through her fingers and Jack had flipped over and was trying to get his knees under him. Hiccup and Snotlout skated over and helped to his feet. Elsa saw Hiccup pull off his glove and hold up some fingers. Jack said something and Hiccup clapped him on the back. Elsa gave a tiny sigh taking this as a sign that Jack was coherent at the very least.

Over on the DreamWorks side it looked like a riot was about to break out.

"THAT WAS A FOUL!"
"REF! DO SOMETHING!"

DreamWorks side broke into defiant shouts. Shrek was standing by the gate to get on the ice, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"That was a foul!"
"It looked like a normal check to me," Kristoff retorted, skating closer to where Shrek was standing.
"Yeah, not from where I was sitting," Shrek said.
"Ogre get back in yer seat! That move was perfectly legal. Very painful probably, but still legal. SO just sit down!" Merida cried.
"Yeah, who's going to make me? A jock like you?"
Before Elsa, Anna or Rapunzel could stop her Merida had jumped over the front row seats, accidentally hitting Mike Wazowski in the head.
"Hey, watch it!" He cried. Merida didn't hear. She was already in front of Shrek.
"Merida," Rapunzel called, "Eugene! Get back here," The boy had gone after his red headed friend.
"What did you call me?"
"You heard me,"
Even though Merida had to look up at Shrek she didn't look any less intimidating than he did, maybe ever more so.
"Hey, man, even if that was a foul," Eugene said pointing to Ralph "there is no need for you to get so worked up,"
"If this was the other way around you mice would be up in arms,"
"Listen, if you want the penalty that badly we'll give it to you," Kristoff said.
"No," Merida, Eugene and few other Disney kids said, "They don't deserve it,"
"Shrek, walk away. You shouldn't have come down here, I have it handled." Hiccup said sensing the boy's anger.
"What's the big idea, just giving us the penalty?" Shrek glared at Kristoff.
"Even if you score we can come back from it and besides I'm sure you won't mind the handicap."
"What?" Shrek reached over the barrier and grabbed Kristoff's shirt pulling him closer. Eugene grabbed Shrek and pulled him off Kristoff. Shrek's elbow reeled back and nailed Eugene right in the nose, knocking him back into the first row of the stands. Whether it had been accidental or on purpose that's when all Disney and DreamWorks hell broke loose.


Ooooooooooh, what's going to happen?
