Hiccup held a duffle bag up and then dropped it on the desk. "I managed to make a little something in metal shop class. This should help us take down any aliens a lot easier." He opened the bag and showed a number of weapons. Everyone walked forward and began digging through the bag.
Jack picked up what looked like a sickle. "Whoa, you made all of these in an hour?" He asked poking the blade. It was sharp, very sharp. "How?"
Snotlout picked up a bat that had two blades wielded to it, so it looked like an axe. "I have to admit it Hiccup, you may be a nerd, but you can make some really cool stuff." He said swinging the axe.
Ruffnut grabbed what looked like a lamp pole. It had been sharpened on both sides, so it looked like a twin headed spear. "Man, this is really cool. I wonder how many aliens I stabbed through with this thing." He said jabbing towards his sister. She moved out of the way and then smacked him in the side of his head.
Hiccup picked up a nail gun, and then held it towards Elsa. "I found a few of them in the wood shop class, and I pressurized it. It'll be more than enough to shoot through some aliens." He assured. She looked down at the gun and then took it from him.
While she was still freaked out over this whole thing, she wasn't about to just sit back while the others recused Anna. She had to help in any way she could. "Thanks."
Hiccup turned towards the others. "Okay, I found two other nail guns two. I think Rapunzel and Astrid should have them since Astrid is injured and Rapunzel only has a frying pan." The two girls nodded. He turned to Jack. "You guys can take the truck. If push comes to shove we can always take one of the buses to escape."
He tossed Jack the keys. "Thanks man." He then turned towards the others. "You guys ready to get going?" He asked. Elsa nodded, while Snotlout and Tuffnut bumped fist.
Rapunzel walked up and hugged Jack. "You be careful out there, okay?" She asked.
"I'll be fine Punzie." He assured.
Merida walked up to him and rubbed her arm nervously. She knew there was a very real chance that he wasn't coming back, but she really wasn't goo with goodbyes. "Get back in one piece, will ye. Ah mean, ah don't want te see Hiccup cryin' aboot how he lost his best friend."
He chuckled. "Are you kidding? If I died who'd be here to make fun of your accent and hair."
Hiccup walked up to him and sighed. "Look, about earlier. You were right, about leaving the house, and saving Elsa. I was just panicking and wanted to keep everyone safe and-"
"Dude don't sweat it. I was acting pretty reckless. Besides, you were only trying to look out for the group, and you got us this far." Jack said. "Not knock it off with the sappy goodbye. It doesn't suit you." He said lifting his elbow. Hiccup and he smiled and then bumped elbows.
Astrid patted both Snotlout and Tuffnut on the back. "You two make sure not to get into two much trouble." She then turned to Jack. "Hey, these two are mine Frost, so bring em back in one piece, got it?"
Jack saluted. "Will do ma'am."
Ruffnut walked over and surprised the others by hugging both Snotlout and her brother. "You guys… try not to get eaten, okay. I mean, at least no until I'm there to see it."
Snotlout laughed. "Hah, they won't know what to do with all this." He said flexing his arm.
Tuffnut snorted. "Yeah, and besides. Even if I did get eaten, I'd totally bust out of its stomach like agent K or something." He said cracking his neck.
Ruff laughed and gave them both a punch on the arm. Jack turned around and then opened the door. It looked clear outside. "Alright, the coast is clear. Let's get a move one." Jack walked out, and Snotlout, Tuff, and Elsa followed.
They made their way to the car, and Jack headed for the driver's seat. "Wait, do you have a license?" Elsa asked.
Jack froze. "I have a learner's…"
"Get in the back." She ordered.
"Wait a second. I'm the one leading this mission. Shouldn't I get to drive?" Jack asked.
She rolled her eyes. "You don't know how to drive, and you don't even know how to get to Kristoff's house." She said holding her hands out. Jack huffed and then placed the keys in her hand. "Thank you." She said.
Everyone got in the car, and Elsa began driving. The town seemed even emptier than before. It seemed like the aliens had taken nearly everyone in town by now, so only a few were there to pick up any stragglers. "So how far off is Kristoff's house?" Snotlout asked.
"It's only a few minutes away now. He lives in an apartment building. I know he's on the fifth floor, but I'm not sure which room." She said nervously.
They pulled into the parking lot for the apartment, and all looked up. The building looked like it had been torn apart. "Whoa, that building it totally wrecked. I don't think there's anyone left inside that thing." He said laughing.
Snotlout reached over and punched him in his side. Jack turned to Elsa. "Don't worry about him, I'm sure she's fine. Now, you guys stay here, and I'll head up and go get Anna."
Elsa shook her head. "No, we need to all go in. If we separate and those things come back, we'd be done for." She said getting out of the car. Snotlout ad Tuff both got out as well. Jack didn't want to argue. Besides, she had a point. They entered through the front of the building. The door had been smashed in.
As they walked through the hallway, they looked around the place. Most of the doors had been broken into, and all the rooms looked a mess. Elsa looked even more worried. Things were looking grimmer with each passing door. "Hey, we're going to find her. I promise." Jack said.
She nodded and they headed to the elevator. Snotlout pressed the button, and they waited a few seconds. The door opened and everyone grew wide eyed. "Crap!" An aliens jumped out towards them, but Snotlout swung hitting it with the side of his axe.
It stumbled over and hit the side of the wall. Before it could get back up, Tuff stabbed it in the side of the next. He twisted the spear and it wailed out before dying. "There are bound to be more of them in here!" Snotlout said bluntly. "I want to get your sister too, but let's face it, she's already-!"
"She's fine." Jack said sternly. "And we're not leaving without her."
Elsa looked worried, and Snotlout and Ruff just glanced at each other. "Fine, but we know there are probably more of them on the next couple floors. I haven't seen a single one of those things traveling alone. We can't just charge up there."
Jack looked around the hallway. "You said there on the sixth floor right? So that's the one we need to clear." He said before grabbing a fire extinguisher. "I got a plan."
There were three aliens moving around on the sixth floor. They were just rummaging around sniffing any object they could find. They seemed to be looking for something, but couldn't find it. A ding came from the elevator and they all turn towards it. They began growling and surrounding the door. It opened up, and there was a fire extinguisher.
It was turned on, but there was no foam coming out. They looked around and noticed something else. Three firecrackers. The firecrackers sparked, and there was an explosion. All three of them were blown back.
A few seconds later, the top of the elevator came down, and Jack jumped down holding his sickle up. He looked around and saw the three dead aliens. On the ground. He glanced around a bit and once he was sure there were no more, he looked up. "It's clear."
Snotlout and Tuff both jumped down. They held their arms out, and then caught Elsa. "Tuff, hurry up and lock the door to the staircase." Snotlout ordered.
"Good thinking. If there are more in the building they might have heard the explosion, so let's move fast." Jack said walking down the hall. Like the rest of the building, most of the doors had been broken open. Elsa was looking through every room thoroughly, looking for any signs of Anna or Kirstoff.
Snotlout entered one room and then saw a pizza box, and two backpacks. "Hey guys, come in here." He called. The others came in and Elsa gasp when she saw the backpack. "I take it this is hers then." He asked tossing it to her.
Elsa looked around the room. "Anna! Anna! Please tell me you're in here!" She called walking around. She stepped on something, and then looked down to see a stuffed snowman. "Olaf…" She bent down and picked up the plushie. "This is Anna's… oh no." She hugged the item to herself and began sobbing. "I was too late. They have her…"
The boys all watched the sight not sure what to say to her. Jack walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "Elsa, this isn't you fault. We did everything we could. I mean-"
"It is my fault! I'm her sister! I'm supposed to protect her!"
Jack hugged her as she kept on sobbing. Snotlout scratched his head not really sure how to react. Tuff understood how she was feeling though. As much as he and his sister fought, he did care about her. If it was Ruff who had been taken, he wouldn't know what to do.
Tuff suddenly heard muttering. He looked up confused. "What was that?" He asked.
"What was what?" Snotlout asked.
He heard the muttering again. "That. Don't you hear that?" He said looking around. It sounds like whispering or…" He walked into another room and Snotlout followed him.
Jack kept his arms wrapped around the still sobbing Elsa. "Guys! Get in here, quick!" Snotlout shouted. Jack looked up and then turned towards the room.
He looked at Elsa and then wiped a tear from her eyes. "Look, everything is going to be okay, I promise. But we can't stay here." He said. She sniffled and then nodded. "C'mon."
They walked into the other room and then saw Tuff legs hanging out of the wall. Before either of them could ask what was going on, Snotlout spoke. "It's a laundry chute! We can hear voices down there! One of them sounds like a girl!"
Elsa's eyes lit up. "Is it Anna?!"
"I don't know, but we're about to find out." Tuff said sliding down.
"Guys, wait a second, don't just-"
Snotlout followed his friend down the chute, and Elsa walked towards it waiting a few seconds so she wouldn't land on him. She jumped down and Jack sighed. Well, he might as well head down. Even if Anna wasn't down there, at least they could probably find a safe way out.
He jumped down after them, and went straight down. He felt the chute shift slightly and found himself sliding forward. He hoped there wasn't a straight fall somewhere, it would suck to die in a laundry chute of all things.
Jack saw a light up ahead, and came shooting out of the chute. He landed on the floor hard and then groaned. "Well, that sucked."
"Elsa?!"
"Anna!" Jack looked up and saw Anna who looked shocked to see her sister. Elsa got up and ran over hugging her baby sister tightly. "Oh my god! Thank goodness you're okay! I went up to Kirstoff's and saw everything was torn apart, and I just… I…"
Anna hugged her sister back. "It's okay, I'm fine. Everyone's fine." She assured.
Jack looked over and saw a tall guy muscular blonde guys, and some guy with auburn hair and green eyes. "Who are these guys?" Jack asked.
Elsa looked over towards the two boys. "Kristoff… Hans!" She glared at the auburn haired one and then glared at him. "What are you doing here?!"
He held his hands up and frowned at her. "Hey, hey, I'm not up to anything nefarious. This just happened to be the closest place when those aliens attacked." He said bluntly.
Elsa looked towards her sister for confirmation, and Anna nodded. "He came banging on the door when those things came into town." She explained. "We boarded up the place, but they managed to break in. They started breaking all the doors down and snatching everyone. We only got away because they couldn't find the laundry room apparently."
The large blonde boy walked over to Jack and offered his hand. Jack took it and was pulled up to his feet. "I take it that you're Kirsoff then."
He nodded. "Yeah, and you are."
"Jack, nice to meet you."
"Um, we're here too." Snotlout said pointing to him and Tuffnut.
"Aren't you guys from the metal shop club?" Anna asked raising her eyebrows. They both smirked and nodded. She turned back to Elsa. "I'm glad to see you're okay, but what exactly you doing here?"
"What do you think I'm doing here? I came here to make sure you were okay. I ran across your friend Rapunzel and her friends, and we've been hiding in the school." Elsa explained.
Jack stepped forward. "Yeah. You're sister here as worried sick about you, and I couldn't just let her go off by herself."
Anna looked up at Jack and smiled. "So you've been helping my big sis out huh? Thanks for watching over her." She then leaned over towards Elsa. "He's cute." She muttered.
"Anna!"
Hans coughed getting their attention. "Not that this little family reunion isn't touching, but we could hear the noise you were all making upstairs. It's not unreasonable to assume those monsters did as well." He said. "So I suggest, we quickly make our leave."
Anna and Elsa both glared at him. Jack turned towards the door. "He's right. Hopefully those things are heading up to the first floor. So that mean we'll be able to make a beeline for the car." He said. With the supplies unloaded, the truck had just enough for seven people.
Jack cracked the door open and saw that the hallways looked clear. He signaled the other to follow him. They to the front door, but the minute Jack opened it, he saw three of the aliens standing in front of them. He slammed the door. "Damn…" He said gripping his sickle.
"There's only three, we can take em!" Snotlout shouted. They heard scratching and clawing against the door, and could see more figures through the tainted glass by the doors. "Okay, maybe not."
They turned around and began heading towards the elevator. "We'll go to the roof! We can climb down the fire escape!" Anna said.
"Good thinking!" Jack hit the button on the elevator, and it opened. They all got inside just as they heard the front door being broken down. The doors closed and they began heading up towards the roof.
Anna began humming the song in the elevator. Everyone looked towards her. "What?" She asked. They all rolled their eyes or groaned. "Hey, this is a good song!"
The elevator suddenly began shaking. "What the-!" It shook again, and they saw the door beginning to open. A claw slipped through and grabbed for Elsa, but Tuff pulled her back. "You have to be kidding me! Don't these things ever give up?!" Snotlout shouted.
"Tuff, get the top!" Jack said.
Kristoff hoisted Tuff onto his shoulder's, and the blonde tore the top panel off the elevator. He climbed up and then reached down. "C'mon! Hurry!"
Anna was the first to go up, and Elsa second. Kirstoff was the last to go since he was the heaviest. They pulled him up just before the aliens busted inside. They all began climbing up the cord. When they reached the roof, Tuff managed to pry the door open, and Kirstoff forced it back closed.
They made their way to the fire escape, and Jack looked down to see a number of aliens near the front door. "We need to get moving before they get up here." Jack said. They could hear banging on both the elevator doors, and the door to the staircase. "C'mon, hustle people!"
Everyone began making their way down. They knew so long as they were quite, they could sneak to the car without the aliens realizing. Jack could hear the banging on the door getting even louder. They were going to break through soon.
He looked down at everyone who was already making their way down the fire escape. "Jack." He turned and saw Elsa staring at him. "C'mon, we need to go."
Jack looked back at the door. No way could they get to the car before those things followed them down. And if they did, they'd never sneak past the ones at the front. "I have to stay and stall them." He said grabbing his sickle from his back. "You guys go."
Elsa looked at him like he was crazy. "What? Jack, you're insane! C'mon! We're getting out of here together!"
Jack smiled and then leaned down. He kissed Elsa on the lips, and the girl looked completely stunned. "Just wanted to do that once." He said before putting his hands on her shoulders. "Kirstoff!"
The blonde looked up just before Jack pushed Elsa of the fire escape. He held his arms out and caught Elsa. "What the hell man?!" Kristoff yelled.
"Get back to the school!" Jack shouted.
"Jack!" Elsa yelled. "Get down here now!"
Jack heard the doors get busted down and then lifted his sickle. He cut the part of the fire escape holding the ladder up, and then turned around. "Snotlout, get them back safe!"
Snotlout balled his fist up. That idiot was really sacrificing himself. "Bah!" He turned and began heading towards the car. "C'mon!"
"Don't have to tell me twice." Hans said going after him.
Elsa turned towards him. "What!? No! We can't leave him! He wouldn't-!" Kirstoff grabbed Elsa and threw her over his shoulder. "Kirstoff! Put me down! Kirstoff!"
He ignored her and kept running towards the car. Jack turned around and saw a number of aliens approaching him. He smirked and pointed his sickle at them. "Well, got to see some aliens, kissed the girl I liked. All in all, I'd say I lived a pretty good life."
They ran at him, and he spun the weapon around in his hand and then swung. He easily cut three of them down, and then skated forward. He kept swinging taking out as many of them as he could. Hiccup really had done a good job with these weapons.
He swung his sickle again, cutting another handful of them down. "C'mon! I could do this all day!" There was a loud screech, and suddenly all the aliens stopped. They began moving away from Jack and making a path towards the stairway. "That… can't be good."
Jack watched as an alien made its way up the stairs. This one didn't look like the others however. This one was bigger, the size of a hoarse. It looked even more vicious that the others too. "Crap…" It roared loudly and then rushed at him.
He swung at it, but it ducked and then swatted him back towards the edge of the roof. He balanced himself by sticking his sickle into the ground. It came at him again, and he stabbed at it. He managed to cut its arm, but it kept coming and tackled him hard.
He could feel the air knocked out of him, and he could also see the edge of the roof top he was standing on getting further and further away. This crazy alien had tackled him off the roof! They were falling! No way! He was ready to sacrifice himself, but he wasn't about to end up a stain on the sidewalk! No way!
Pulling his sickle back he stabbed into the side of the alien "AAAHHH!" Jack pulled as hard as he could, and somehow managed to flip the both of them over, so the alien was no on the bottom. He heard a loud crash, and then felt them hit the ground.
The fall was cushioned by the alien, but it still hurt, a lot. He tumbled forward and landed onto ground. No, it wasn't a ground. It was a floor. Had that crash he heard earlier been through a roof? How far had this thing tackled him? He heard a growl.
"You have to be kidding me…" He said opening one of his eyes. The aliens was getting back up, and making its way towards him. "What in the hell does it take to kill you…" He said reaching for his sickle. It was no use. He didn't have enough strength to fight. He was barely staying conscious as it was.
It stood over him and then lifted its claw. Jack frowned and glared up at it. So this was how he was going out huh? He always figured he'd die on the ice rink. Just as it was about to swung, a figure came up behind it. "Oh no you don't…" A cheery voice said.
Jack watched as the figure slit the alien's throat. It screeched and then fell over on its side, before it began gargling on its blood. Jack looked up to see who it was, but couldn't make the face out. His vision was fading, and knew he was going to pass out any second now.
Another figure stood over him. "Whoa, can't believe dude came crashing through the roof? If he okay?" The taller figure asked.
"I think so. He landed on the aliens, and he's still breathing." The first figure said leaning down and touching his head. "Uh-oh, he's bleeding."
Jack closed his eyes, but could still hear their voices fading out. "I'll get some bandages. You think he was with those guys that drove off?"
"Don't know. We'll check his phone later. Either way, we need to get out of here before…" That was the last thing he heard before he passed out.
A/N: A new chapter! I hope this chapter doesn't feel rushed or anything. I'm planning on having quite a few characters in this fic, but I don't want them all in one place since it would feel crowded. What I'm trying to do is maybe divide the character into two or three groups, and then switch between their POV's. Anyhow, I thought about ending the chapter right after they left Jack, but I figured it was a waste. You guys all know I couldn't kill him off.
And yes, Hans had shown his mug in this story. Now, I know Hans is a villain, but if there's one thing I appreciate, it's a good villain. I mean, this guy is like the Frozen version or Aizen or something. Just spitting lies all over the place. I couldn't resist throwing him in.
So, where is Jack? Who found him? How will the others react to losing him? Feel free to take a guess at who the two figures at the end were. But, you can find out for sure by reading the next chapter! Now, Read and Review!
