Hi guys! So, here's another chapter!

So, I am infamous for messing up any fight scene that comes to mind, so sorry about all that. And the rest of the HTTYD gang come into play! yaaay!

Warning: the burning of evil, crazy, psychopathic vampire dictators. you have been warned.

Hiccup was thrown into a room, more like a cavern really, but the point is he was alone. The room was made of rock, the walls slick with mildew and the floor cold and hard. He didn't need to sleep, but he would rather fall asleep than await the horrors that were sure to accompany him in the room. He slumped against the wall, and hit his head hard against the rock.

At least Jack was safe…

Noise echoed throughout the cavern, filling Hiccup's ears with jubilant cries and carefree laughter. He scrunched his eyes shut and ignored everything. But the noises got louder, and Hiccup couldn't find it in himself to stay quiet anymore. He was angry, he was defeated, and he was tired. He wanted to fade into oblivion and these things were causing him not to be able to. This was the last straw.

"Will you please shut up?" He yelled, none too nicely, his voice carrying out of the cavern and into the tunnels outside. The noises stopped and then a smattering amount of footsteps sounded. Hiccup was curious on why this was, until ten people crowded the mouth of the room he was in. And he couldn't bring himself to care.

"God, they weren't kidding…" A blonde-haired girl gasped, pushing her way into the room and stalking across it to reach Hiccup. "We thought they were kidding." Her blue eyes had an unnatural gleam to them, but they were nothing compared to Jack's. Even with vampire-perfection, her eyes looked dull compared to Jack's crystal blues. Hiccup was roughly pulled to his feet, and he didn't utter a word.

"I told you it wasn't a rumor!" A wide and muscular blonde-haired guy said. Then everyone walked inside the cave, and circled around Hiccup.

"You're the Hamish everyone's been chattering about?" Some girl said, scoffing.

"Ha! Not much!" A boy said, looking as if he could have been the girl's twin.

"Who are you?" Hiccup asked.

They turned out to be Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Barf and Belch. They've been under control of Red Death since… well, just about forever, they said. The power he wielded made them forget mostly everything, and apparently, one of those things was time perception. Hiccup guessed they've been in these caves for about a hundred years, give or take a couple years.

"So, what are you in for?" Snotlout asked, batting his eyelashes mockingly at me. Hookfang pushed his face away from mine, and I blinked at them.

"I-I didn't do anything." I said. "I'm Toothless' brother." They all gasped.

"You're Toothless' brother?" Fishlegs gasped.

"Isn't that what he just said?" Tuffnut said.

"I was going to say that!" Ruffnut yelled, launching herself at Tuffnut. They fought crazily, and Barf and Belch broke them up harshly, holding each other by the scruff of their necks.

"Do you guys always have to fight?" Stormfly said blandly.

"Guys, this is the thing we were waiting for!" Astrid said.

"What?" They all said, staring at her.

"All we needed was one more guy and the plan would have been perfect! And now that we have this guy…" Astrid said, throwing her arm around Hiccup's shoulders and shaking him slightly.

"We can get the heck out of here!" They all yelled in hushed voices (if that contradictory statement even made any sense). Hiccup pushed Astrid away from him, and stared at them bizarrely.

"What are you talking about?" He said, waving his hands around harshly. "I'm not helping you!"

"You want to get out of here, right?" Astrid said.

"There's someone out there who needs you more than anything?" Hookfang chimed in.

"Or maybe you need them?" Ruffnut asked. Hiccup just blinked at them. How could they have known?

"If you help us, you could go to them, and you wouldn't have to worry about Red Death or Toothless or any of us ever again." Fishlegs said.

"Hiccup, we need you." Meatlug said. Hiccup thought for a moment, looking down at his feet and rolling the situation over in his mind.

"I'm in." He said, a devilish smile on his face. The group smiled, and then huddled around and chattered in hushed voices.

"Does everyone remember-?" Astrid said before Hiccup cut her off.

"The plan's pretty straight-forward," He said, rolling his eyes at the blonde. "I think we know what we are doing." She stuck her tongue out at him, and he glared in her direction. That was all playfully of course.

All eleven of them slipped out of the little cave, walking confidently down the small and damp tunnels before suddenly stopping before another cavern's opening. They all shared looks, and Hiccup nodded. They all walked inside, no hesitation in their steps and with hard, far off looks in their eyes.

There, in that cavern, was Red Death and Toothless. The cavern was decorated intricately, torches on the walls giving off a pleasant orange glow, which reflected off the crystal chandelier that hung high above their heads nicely. Why there was a chandelier, well, no one knows, but it seemed to fit. There was a rug on the floor even. Red Death was sitting on a throne, and Toothless was standing off to the right of him. They were talking before the others walked in.

"What is the meaning of this?" Red Death asked. "I did not ask of you to come!" They all ignored him, and stood firmly in front of the two, not saying anything.

"Answer him!" Toothless snapped sharply. Astrid looked at everyone, and they all gave a simultaneous nod.

All eleven of them surged forward, ready to rip through Red Death and Toothless. Now, since this was 11 vs. 2, it should have been an easy win, a fight that barely lasted a couple minutes. But, Red Death had a lot more than them in his ranks, more vampires that were totally brainwashed, who would die for him, fight for him, kill for him. So, with a shrill yell that resounded messily through the cavern, Red Death called them.

The forces were so large that there wasn't a definite number for it. But they flooded the cavern, overwhelming the eleven. But they fought valiantly, and it wasn't a hard fight. The forces were weak, inexperienced, and they were completely under the control of Red Death. As much power as he wielded, he simply wasn't skilled enough to control all their movements at one time. As a last resort, he started edging out of the cavern, hopefully unnoticed as the fighting raged on.

But of course, they noticed. Snotlout yelled, and launched himself at Red Death. The two fought crazily, limbs flailing, punches thrown, jaws snapping, anything really.

Hiccup looked around frantically. The one person he wanted, the one person who he wanted to feel pain, was gone and out of his sight. He looked around quickly, trying to see where Toothless was. He had caused all this after all, if he would have just left him alone, this never would have happened!

Abnormally green eyes latched onto their target in an instant as they slipped out of the cavern unnoticed. Hiccup growled, and ran out, avoiding everyone in his path. Outside the cavern, it was dark, but that didn't bother Hiccup in the slightest. He didn't need light anyways.

Shadows moved and twisted in the darkness, but Hiccup was smarter than to actually fall for all that. He knew his own brother, and when the going went tough, well, Toothless was usually the first to get the hell out of there.

Hiccup rushed for the exit, and he knew that Toothless was already long gone. With a huff, he turned back to go and help the others. But apparently, they didn't need his help. All the extra forces that came were killed, and Red Death was tied up, lying on his stomach, and Meatlug was sitting on his back. Hiccup nearly laughed, but he kept it in (just barely).

"You guys really didn't need my help," Hiccup said earnestly. Astrid scoffed, but Snotlout was the one to answer.

"Yeah we did!" He said, not really elaborating, but Hiccup didn't question it.

"What are you going to do with him?" Hiccup asked, tilting his head a little and gesturing at Red Death. Meatlug, Hookfang, Barf and Belch laughed.

"The only thing we can," Stormfly said reasonably. She pulled a lighter out of her pocket and walked over to the tied up vampire. "Meatlug, off." She said tensely. Meatlug did as she was told, and scurried away quickly.

"No!" Red Death yelled, the sound of it sort of painful to hear. The desperation was so thick it was almost sickening. "No! You can't do this to me! You can't!"

"Watch me," Stormfly growled. She sparked the lighter and a little blue fame floated in the air. Then she set the guy on fire. Everyone stood there and watched as the flames engulfed him, and as he screamed and writhed in pain. The light was almost blinding, the screams deafening, and the relief in the air was almost tangible.

"What happened to Toothless?" Ruffnut asked. Hiccup looked at the floor.

"He got away." Hiccup said. "I'm going to find him."

"No." Fishlegs said. "You go see the person you love, we'll find him for you."

"Guys-" Hiccup protested. Sure, there was nothing more that he wanted to do than go see Jack, but with Toothless still out there, he didn't want to risk anything. And he certainly didn't want to abandon his newfound friends.

"Killing family is harder than killer an evil dictator that wants to rule mankind," Astrid said, and the statement rung with truth. "Just go, Hiccup." She said, her voice softer.

Hiccup only nodded. Well, if they insist… He ran out of the caves, and sprinted as fast as he could to Jack.

"Jack," North said, looking at his nephew from across the dining room table. "Jack, look at me." Blue eyes trailed over and looked at the man. Those eyes were empty and blank, but there was unmistakable pain flooding them. North was sad to say that he hasn't noticed that before.

"What is wrong?" North asked, trying to be direct.

"Nothing is wrong," Jack said as he started to slip away from the table. North was up and out of his seat in a blink of an eye, and he put a monstrous hand on Jack's shoulder.

"Something is wrong, Jack," North said. Jack just looked at his feet. "I don't want you to be like this anymore. Tell me what is wrong."

"Someone I loved is gone," Jack said, his voice hollow and monotonous. "And I don't think they're every coming back." He looked up quickly, and the expression on North's face hurt him more than anything.

"Hiccup?" He asked. A tear spilled out of Jack's eye instantly, and many other followed that. Jack didn't even wipe them away, didn't confirm what his uncle said, didn't let the words tumble out of him. He stood there, hard as stone, and looked blankly up at his uncle.

"May I go?" Jack asked, his voice surprisingly steady for someone in his state. North opened his mouth, probably to say that it wasn't the best idea, when Jack continued. "I can't stay here… there's too much…" Jack wanted to say "too much to remember" but he simply couldn't get the words out. North sighed and pulled Jack into a hug. When the boy didn't react, he let go.

"You can go." North said. "But take your phone and be back by nine." Jack didn't answer, and he walked out of the house nonchalantly.

He really didn't know where he was going. His feet took him wherever they wanted to go, and he had no say in it whatsoever. The tears slowly dried on his cheeks, their stains still on his face as he walked. His hands were stuffed into his hoodie's pocket, clutching his phone tightly.

When Jack looked up, he saw where he was: Hiccup's house. He nearly cried out in anger, despair, hurt, or something to that extent, but instead, his feet moved, and took him into the house.

There was a picture of them on a little coffee table, smiling and laughing not necessarily for the camera. Jack put the picture down numbly, the dull thump of his heart the only thing that broke the silence that hung over him. Jack sat on the couch gingerly, as if it would burst into ash if he was too rough, and he just sat there for the longest time.

"Hiccup…" Jack said weakly.

"He's not here."

"AH!"

Cliffhanger. Whoops~ Sorry about that, I really wanted to get the next chapter out to you guys :D
