One by one, every single hero began to attack the Nightmares.

North unsheathed both of his dual swords, viciously slicing Nightmares at a time. Tooth used her wings and speed to pass through the Nightmares without getting harmed herself. Bunnymund threw boomerangs wildly in hopes of hitting every single Nightmare he happened to come across. Sandy and Rapunzel used their golden Dream sand whips and hair to wrap around a Nightmare at a time and swing it into another. Merida fired arrows with impressive accuracy at any Nightmare that came across her path.

Finally, Hiccup, Toothless, and Jack came face to face with Pitch, who was smirking down at them. "Have you had enough, Hiccup? Was my Nightmare sand – was the power – too much for your liking?"

Hiccup's mind boiled with rage, but he kept a calm yet harsh expression. He had sworn to make peace with many of his enemies, including merciless bastards such as Ivan and Drago Bludvist. However, after seeing – after experiencing – what Pitch had done to corrupt him, now wasn't the time for any sort of peace! Pitch was going to pay for what he had done to him, for what he had made him do!

In a response to Pitch's taunting, Hiccup pulled out his Monstrous Nightmare saliva coated blade and pointed it straight at the Nightmare King. With a roar and cry of fury, dragon, Dragon Rider, and winter spirit charged at Pitch.

Jack was the first to attack, blasting a frosty shot at Pitch's body, only for the Boogeyman to use a wall of Nightmare sand as a shield. However, he was less fortunate when Hiccup had sprayed a cloud of Zippleback gas straight into his body. There was a spark and Pitch yelled in pain and shock as an explosion of fire wounded him massively and sent him hurling out of the sky.

Unfortunately, Hiccup had forgotten about Pitch's Nightmare, Onyx, as she raced underneath him, catching him in midair. Sneering up at the three figures that still surrounded him, he summoned up a thousand Nightmares and hurled them at the three boys. As soon as the black sand engulfed the dragon, winter spirit, and Dragon Master, he stood back and smirked to himself.

To his shock, however, Hiccup, Jack, and Toothless retaliated with a powerful blast of their own. Jack had hurled an icy shot with his staff, while simultaneously Toothless blasted a plasma ball out of his mouth. The powerful blasts blasted every single Nightmare into nothingness.

Pitch wasn't affected by the shock wave and merely laughed, only for him to blink in confusion. Where was Hiccup?

"Heads up, Pitch!" Hiccup howled, dropping out of the sky and landing directly on the back of the Boogeyman. Pitch yelled in surprise and rage as he struggled to get the young Dragon Master off of him. Unbeknownst to him, Hiccup had a little idea of his own.

With a smirk, Hiccup surrounded Pitch and himself in a cloud of Zippleback gas, finally igniting a spark of fire. There was an explosion of red and both Hiccup and Pitch – this time, with no Nightmare to come to his rescue – fell out of the sky.

"Rrrrrrraaaaauuuurr!" Toothless's roar could be heard from miles away as he zoomed down at his friend, easily catching him onto his back. With the proper movement on his lower body, Hiccup finally adjusted himself and had Toothless pull back up to the sky, watching silently – almost angrily – as Pitch plummeted to the ground below.

Once again, Pitch was defeated.

"Hiccup?" Jack's voice was full of concern as Hiccup turned to look at him. His blue eyes glistened with joy as he spoke the next five words: "Good to have you back."

Hiccup nodded and smiled with the same emotions. "Thanks, Hiccup."

Almost done! Only need one more chapter.
