Snotlout led the other to the car as quickly as he could. Jack seemed to be distracting the ones on top of the building, and the ones at the front were still trying to claw their way in. As they made their way to the car, he turned to Elsa. "The keys."
Elsa frowned. "We can't just leave him up there. We have to do something." s
"The only thing we can do now is not let him staying behind be for nothing! Now are you gonna drive or do you want to hand me the keys?" He asked holding his hand out.
Elsa narrowed her eyes at him. She glanced back up at the building and could see Jack's figure swinging wildly. She looked down at the ground sadly. It wasn't like she had suddenly fallen for Jack, she still barely knew him. But he'd gone out of his way to save her sister, to save all of them for that matter. Leaving him felt wrong.
"Fine." She said pulling the keys out. She opened the door and the teens all began getting into the car. Suddenly they heard screaming. They looked up and saw Jack falling towards the ground, along with one of the aliens. "JACK!" They watched as he crashed into the building across the street.
"Oh man…" Kristoff said looking shocked.
Anna looked horrified. "D-do you think he's okay…?"
Snotlout looked back and forth between the building and the car. Should he go and check on Jack? What if it was pointless? What if he was… dead? Even worse, what if that thing was still alive? "Hey, we have company!" Hans shouted.
They turned and saw that the aliens in front of the building were now facing them. "Get in the car!" Snotlout yelled. They all quickly got in as the aliens began charging at them. Elsa started the car and slammed her foot on the gas.
They sped forward began losing most of the aliens. "I think we're going to shake them."
"Think again." Kirstoff said frowning.
There were five aliens, all bigger than the others, who were slowly catching up to them. "Crap, this is not good!" Snotlout said grabbing his axe.
Anna noticed the nail gun Elsa had been carrying, and quickly grabbed it. "Open the trunk!" She shouted. Elsa popped the truck, and both Kirstoff and Hand kicked it open. They then moved out of the way as Anna fired.
The aliens moved around quickly avoiding most of the shots. "These ones are smarter than the others!" Tuffnut said grabbing his spear. "They're gonna catch up to us!"
Anna stopped firing and focused her aim. "No they're not!" She shouted before firing again. She hit one of them and it fell back. "Got em!"
"Nice shot!" Kirstoff cheered.
They suddenly heard a loud noise on the roof of the car. Everyone looked confused, when suddenly a claw smashed through the windshield. "Holy crap!"
"They're on the roof!" Elsa shouted. More claws and arms began banging against the windshield. "There are too many! I can't see!"
Anna aimed her gun upwards, but Snotlout stopped her. "Keep the ones chasing us off our tail, I'll handle the ones on the roof!"
He reached forward and hit the button opening the roof window, and then climbed up. There were three of them clawing at the windshield. He lifted his axe and then smashed it into the closest one's back. It screeched in pain and Snotlout pulled his axe back and watched as it fell onto the road lifelessly.
The other two quickly turned towards him. "Bring it on!"
Anna kept on firing at the ones chasing them. "I'm starting to run out of ammo here!" She said nervously. "And their gaining on us!"
"There's another clip in the bag!" Elsa said.
They could hear Snotlout struggling up on the roof. "He needs help up there." Kristoff said balling his fist up. "You stay here and looked after them. Watch him." He told Tuff as he glared towards Hans."
He made his way up to the roof and saw Snotlout somehow holding off two of the aliens. They had him pinned to the ground, but he had hands around both their throat. They snapped at him, but he managed to hold them at bay. He saw Krsitoff. "Little help would be nice!"
Kristoff ran forward and grabbed one of the aliens by its fur. He pulled it off and then threw back. It landed in front of the group that was chasing them. One of the aliens jumped to avoid it, and was shot out of the air by Anna. "Nice job Anna!" He shouted.
The aliens jumped off Snotlout and pounced on top of him. He began punching it, but it didn't seemed faze. Snotlout grabbed his axe and was about to swing, but stopped. He didn't want to risk injuring Kristoff. So he instead used the bottom of the weapon to strike it in the head.
It stumbled to the side and looked like it was going to fall of the car, but scratched its claws into the roof. "Cheater!" Snotlout yelled. The aliens tackled him and they landed on the hood of the car. Elsa saw them and gasped.
Snotlout reached for his axe, but the aliens knocked it away with its hand. It raised its claw ready to slash him. Elsa looked panicked, but had an idea. "Snotlout! The wipers!" She said turning on the windshield wipers. They came up, and before they went back down he grabbed one of the wiper and then ripped it from the window.
He stabbed into the side of the alien's neck, and it screeched in pain. Kristoff reached down and grabbed Snotlout's wrist. "Hit the break!" He shouted. Elsa slammed onto the break, and the alien went flying off. Kirstoff held onto Snotlout to keep him from flying, and Elsa sped forward running over the alien to finish it off.
The two remaining aliens who had been chasing them finally caught up. One of them jumped towards Anna, its teeth bared, but it was suddenly stabbed through with a spear. Anna and Hans looked at Tuffnut who mercilessly kicked the alien off his spear. He brought his arm back and hurled it at the other, nailing it right in the head.
"Oh… wow." Anna said shocked.
"What?" Tuff asked confused.
"You're way better at killing then you should be." Hans said narrowing his eyes at him.
Tuff shrugged. "Guess I'm just a natural." He looked back at the lifeless alien. "Gonna miss that spear though. Guess I'll just have to take Ruff's when we get back."
Snotlout and Kirstoff got back into the car and took their seats. "God that was way to close."
"Tell me about it."
Tuffnut pulled the trunk closed and then frowned. "Yeah, everyone here is okay, but we still lost Jack. Hiccup is going to blow a gasket."
"I'll handle Hiccup." Snotlout said.
Hiccup sat up at the monitor tapping his fingers against the desk. The others had been gone for a while now. He figured they would be gone for a long time, but it didn't make him any less nervous. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Astrid. "You shouldn't probably get some sleep. I'll take over monitor duty. Can't move around anyway, might as well sit here."
He looked back at the screen and sighed. Astrid could see the nervousness on his face. Jack was his best friend, so it was normal he'd be worried. "Look, don't be so worried. Jack's a hockey player right? He's used to things getting a little rough. Plus he's got Snotlout and Tuff with him, and their tough as nails."
Hiccup smirked. "Yeah, I know. I guess I'm just being paranoid." He got up and headed towards the office where the others were sleeping. Suddenly he heard honking. He quickly turned back to the monitor. "Are they back?!" He asked eagerly.
Astrid smirked. "Looks like it. See, I told you they would be fine. Now how do we open up the gate?" She asked. Hiccup leaned over and pressed a button on the control panel. Once they were inside the closed the gate back and headed out of the door. She quickly followed after him. "Guys, wake up! They're back!" Astrid said.
Everyone began stirred groggily. "What's tha big idea?" Merida said yawning.
"The others are back!" Hiccup said excitedly.
"Whot?! Really! Tha's great!" C'mon Punzie, ye should come two jist in case anyone got hurt." Everyone got up and began rushing out, except Fishlegs who thought it best to keep watch on the monitor. They made their way into the parking lot and ran towards the car.
As they got closer however, they felt their hearts drop to their stomachs. Elsa was in the car crying, and another girl was trying to comfort her. Meanwhile, Snotlout, Tuff, and two others guys were standing behind the car shouting at each other.
"Say it again! I dare you!" Snotlout snarled.
The auburn haired one rolled his eyes. "I don't understand while you're getting so angry at me, I only said what was true." Snotlout lunged at him, but a blonde boy grabbed him.
"Hey! Fighting isn't going to help us now! Tuff, help me with him!" Tuff nodded before turning around and punching Hans in the face. Auburn haired boy fell back onto the ground before grabbing his face. "That's not what I meant!"
"Well I wasn't going to stop him! That's low even by my standards!" Tuff said glaring down at Hans. "We should have left this asshole behind and used him for bait instead!"
Hiccup was the first to reach them. "Whoa! Guys, what's going on here! What happened?!" Everyone turned towards him with grim looks on their face. Hiccup looked at them all confused, and then noticed someone was missing. "Where's Jack?"
Ruff ran past him and then grabbed both Snotlout and her brother in a hug. "Hah, I knew you two would make it back! Don't take so long next time though, I didn't have anyone to beat up on!" She said. The two boys would have liked to enjoy the rare show of affection, but simply couldn't after what had happened.
Punzie saw Anna and smiled. She was glad her friend was okay. She then noticed Hans on the ground and frowned. "What's he doing here?" She asked. Before Anna could answer she was cut off.
"Where's Jack." Hiccup repeated.
The realization seemed to hit everyone then. Their frosty haired friend was nowhere to be seen. Snotlout stepped forward. "Hiccup I… we did everything we could, we tried to stop him but he just wouldn't-"
"Where is he?!" Hiccup snapped
Snotlout balled his fist up. "We had to leave him behind, okay! We didn't have a choice! He didn't give us one!" He shouted.
"Oh no…" Rapunzel said eyes beginning to fill with tears.
Merida looked horrified. "Ah… ah can nae believe it."
Hiccup looked furious. He stepped towards his cousin and grabbed the front of his shirt. "You left him?! How in the world could you leave him?! This is low even for you Snotlout!"
Snotlout glared at his cousin before pushing him back. "You think this is my fault?!"
"Isn't it always?!"
The two looked like they were going to throw down, until Astrid grabbed Hiccup and pulled yanked him back. "Hey! Hiccup, you need to calm down! We have no idea what happened!"
"She's right!" Merida snapped. "This is nae the time te be arguing amongst ourselves! At least listen te whot he had te say before just blamin' him fer everythin!"
Hiccup still looked furious, but turned to his cousin. Snotlout grunted before walking forward and pushing past him. "I don't have to explain anything to him!"
"Don't you walk away from me! Not until you tell me what happened!" Hiccup yelled going after him. He grabbed Snotlout's shoulder and turned him around.
"Hey!" Snotlout snapped grabbing his shirt collar. The two glared at one another furiously.
Hans got up rubbing his cheek. "Hmm, I don't know why your both so eaten up about it. The fool did it to himself." Everyone turned towards him with fury in their eyes.
Merida made her way over towards him before grabbing him by the throat. "Say one more word aboot Jack, an ah'll throw ye out to those aliens meself."
Hans raised his hands up. "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll keep my mouth shut."
She pushed him back and he stumbled into the car. "Ye better." She then looked towards the others. "Ye two, knock it off!" Merida shouted towards Hiccup and Snotlout.
"She's right! Instead of arguing and fighting we need to be trying to figure our next move! Did anyone see where they were taking him?" Astrid said.
Anna shook her head. "We climbed down the fire escape and snuck around to the car. There were so many of them, we couldn't risk staying around. We had to leave before we could see him get captured."
Hiccup was about to speak again, but suddenly his phone began ringing. Everyone stood silently and looked towards him. "Uh…" He reached down and grabbed his phone from his pocket. He then grew wide eyed. "Oh my god, it's Jack!"
"What?!" Merida said stunned.
"How?!" Elsa asked.
Hiccup quickly answered the phone. "Hello?!"
Jack groaned in pain. He was hurting all over his body. The last thing he remembered was being tackled off of a building by one of those things. Aliens had invaded, he'd killed a bunch of them, and he'd kissed Elsa. Maybe it was a dream. Maybe that whole night had just been a crazy dream, and he would wake up in Rapunzel's living room with the others.
He tried to move and felt even more pain. No, this was definitely not a dream. "He's moving some, I think he's awake." A voice said. It sounded like a little boy.
"How can you tell?"
"Let's poke him with a stick."
"I don't think that's proper medical procedure."
"How would you know?"
"What do you mean 'How does he know'? That just common sense." There were a number of voices, all of them sounded like kids. Jack suddenly felt something touch his cheek. "Hey, stop that! What if he wakes up?!"
"Then at least we know he's alive." The voice said still poking him.
Jake looked annoyed and then opened his eyes. "Knock it off!" He snapped. The group of kids all scurried away from him. Jack took them all in. One was a scrawny looking boy with thick glasses, beside him was a blonde girl. He looked over and saw another blonde girl, this one was wearing a pink hat. Then a raven haired girl in a blue hoodie. The last was a short girl, younger than the others.
"See, told you it would work." The one with the pink hat said.
"He was already awake genius." The blonde girl said rolling her eyes.
The little girl walked up to him curiously. "Are you okay mister?"
Jack tried to sit up, but winced in pain. "He's still injured. I'm going to go get someone."
"What's going on?" Everyone turned towards the door as a girl with classes walked in. Jack thought she looked familiar, but couldn't quite place her face. "Oh, you're awake!" She quickly knelt down beside him and pushed him back down. "Don't move around too much. Mavis patched your head up pretty well, but we don't want it opening back up."
Jack kept eyeing the girl. "You're… a freshman." He said. "Margo, right?"
She smiled and nodded towards him. "And you're that super cute sophomore everyone in class is always talking about." She said giggling. The girl in the pink hat stuck his tongue out and gagged. Margo rolled her eyes. "Oh grow up Edith. Go and get Mavis and Johnny."
Edith nodded and then ran out of the room. "Where am I? What happened to me? Who are these brats?" Jack asked clearly confused.
Margo rubbed her chin not sure where to begin. "Well, for starters we're at an internet café. We had been camped out at some restaurant, but you came crashing through the roof along with one of those aliens. Mavis killed it, and decided it was too dangerous to stay. So we patched your head up, and then moved here."
Jack reached up and felt the bandages on his head. "That explained where the headaches are coming from."
Margo slapped his hand. "Stop picking with them." She ordered. "As for the 'Brats', this is Sherman, Penny, Vanellope, and my little sister Agnes."
"Hello." Sherman said waving nervously.
Penny crossed her arms and looked at him. "So, you crashed through a roof. How'd you managed to pull that off?" She asked.
Jack narrowed his eyes at her. He could tell this was one snarky smart mouthed little girl. Not that he had room to talk about being smart mouthed. "How about we head up to the roof and I show you." She glared at him.
"Hello mister, what's your name?" Agnes asked smiling sweetly.
Jack looked down at her and chuckled. "Jack, Jack Frost."
The girl in the blue hoodie stepped forward. "Hey there Frosty, names Vanellope. Nice to meet ya." She said holding her hand out.
Jake shook it. "Likewise."
The door opened and two more figured walked in. He recognized them immediately. The girl who he assumed was Mavis, was that goth chick he'd always seen in math. Johnny he had seen hanging around with her and playing hacky sack in the lunch room. "Sup dude." Johnny said.
Mavis smiled down at him. "Glad to see you're awake. We were afraid your injury would be… fatal. Are you hungry?" She asked before pulling a plate of eggs from behind her back.
Jack tried to get up again, but Margo stopped him. "Would you knock it off already? You fell from a building, your body is covered in bruises. You need to rest. I'll feed you." She said taking the plate.
"I wanna feed him!" Agnes said.
"No Agnes, I've seen you feed your dolls." Margo said rolling her eyes. She took a fork full of eggs and then held it towards Jack. "Here."
Jack was hesitant. He didn't like having to be fed. But she was right. His body was bruised all over, it hurt just to move. And he was hungry. He began eating. "I'll go get the rest of the food, we can eat in here and talk." Johnny said.
After the food was brought it, everyone sat in a circle and ate. Mavis filled Jack in on how their little group had gotten together. She and Johnny had been ate the movies when they attacked. They had been moving from building to building, and had picked up Sherman, Penny, and Vanellope along the way.
They found Margo and her sisters at the café, and had decided it'd be best for the two groups to stick together. Strength in numbers after all. Jack had crashed through the roof about an hour later, and of course they concluded that it was no longer a safe place to stay.
Apparently while he had been knocked out, they had went through his phone and called Hiccup. They told him that Jack was injured, but stable, and that they'd make their way to the school when he could move and it was safe.
"Let me call them back, let them know I'm okay now." He said. If he knew Rapunzel, she'd stay up all night worrying about him. The others would probably be worried too.
"Relax, I sent them a text saying you're fine now. For now just focus on getting better." Mavis advised. "After breakfast Johnny will run down to the store and grab some medicine and bandages. Then tomorrow we'll meet with the others and get back to the school."
Jack looked confused. "Wait, you can't go out by yourself."
Johnny chuckled. "Relax dude, most of those things are in hiding now. Most of them don't seem to like the sunlight too much. They scattered as soon as the sun came up. But there are a handful still moving around. Nothing that I can't handle myself though." He gesturing to the Winchester laying at his side.
Margo fed Jack another forkful of eggs. "We should try getting in contact with the other group too. The more people we have the better." Margo said.
Jack grunted. "There's another group?"
"A few actually." Mavis said. "We came in contact with one of them a few hours ago. They said they'd be heading to the arcade. I have no idea why, but the guy leading them seemed like he knew what he was talking about."
Johnny finished off the last of his breakfast and then got up. "Good thinking Margo. The arcade isn't too far from the drug store. I'll stop by there and see if I can find them."
"Be careful Johnny. If one of the ones who attacked Jack last night shows up, it could be a problem. Don't be afraid to call if you need help." Margo advised.
"I got ya. Stay cool little dudes and dudettes." He said before turning to Mavis. "Be back in a little bit babe." He said wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Just be careful out there." She said kissing him.
The kids all made gagging sounds. "You know you guys are going to be doing the same thing when you're older right?" Margo said rolling her eyes. With that Johnny left.
Jack was pretty sure the guy seemed fine. Given the situation, these guys seemed pretty relaxed. Meaning they probably knew what they were doing. Mavis got up. "I'm going to go pack some of our stuff up, in case we need to make a quick exit."
She walked out and Margo looked down at Jack. "If you need anything else, just get one of them to come get us." She said gesturing towards her sister. "For now though, I'm gonna go help out Mavis. You just worry about getting some rest."
Jack thought for a second, and then grew wide eyed. "Wait a second. You said they didn't like the daylight. That their all in hiding. Why don't we get out of town and-"
"And go where? Those things have landed all over the world. Besides, the other guys said they have underground dens all around the town. Their not going to let us go that easy."
Jack sighed but nodded. "Should have known. Anyway, thanks for everything guys. I'd be dead for sure if you hadn't found me."
"No problem." Margo said nodding. She walked out leaving Jack alone with the kids.
Jack stared up at the ceiling, and suddenly found Agnes standing over them. She smiled before pulling out a deck of cards. "Wanna play goldfish?"
A/N: Another chapter out! I tried to make this one a little longer than usual, so I threw in the chase scene at the beginning. It was pretty fun to write too. So, needless to say there was a huge reaction to Jack getting left behind. I always see Hiccup as a pretty cool and collected guy, but I think anyone would flip losing their best friend.
What do you guys think about the characters I added in? I know there were quite a few of them, but I just imagined Mavis and Johnny picking up any kids they find along the way. They seem cool like that. I wanted to add Sherman and Penny because I saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman, and I really liked that movie. I made Penny a bit of a smart ass, because honestly I kind of liked that in the movie. It gave me a few chuckled.(I have a twisted since of humor.)
As for Margo, Edith, and Agnes, I don't know why I threw them in. It was just for the heck of it. I still have quite a few character I plan to throw in. Don't worry, the story won't seem crowded, it'll start switching between the group's POV's. What characters do you guys want to see next? Pretty much any Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks kid character is fair game.
