The Attack

The empty construction site was lit up by flashes of gold as Limelight battled against Pitch's nightmares. With her strength and sun blasts she destroyed countless nightmares while slowly making her way toward Pitch. Pitch watched, his fingers twitching with anticipation as the blonde heroine drew nearer.

Finally after punching one last nightmare to pieces she got within swinging distance. Her eyes narrowed in determination she threw herself at Pitch, cocking back her fist to deliver a powerful blow. But Pitch saw it coming. He formed his black sand into a scythe before lashing out at her. To dodge Limelight threw herself to the ground, narrowly avoiding a slash to the neck. The scythe passed over her head, slicing a few of her golden locks off.

She ignored the falling strands as she continued to dodge the mad slashes by Pitch. Pitch snarled as he attempted to hack her to bits. But she was quick and agile. Limelight quietly thanked Frost for her hand to hand training he'd helped her with. Suddenly Pitch changed the scythe into a spear before thrusting it at her. Limelight spun out of the way and prepared to counter attack.

Reaching behind her she grabbed a few strands of her hair in her right hand before throwing it around Pitch's hand like whip. Before he could overcome his surprise she willed her hair to tighten its grip before she swung him over her head and slammed him to the ground. Before he could recover she yanked him close. On his knees in front of her he looked up nervously to see her angry expression. Clenching her fist she delivered a powerful uppercut that sent him flying straight into the air.

As he was airborne and his limbs flailed about frantically she willed her hair to lengthen and ensnare him. Wrapping about his middle it pulled him to the ground before she flung him into a nearby bulldozer.

Pitch hit the side of the machine hard and cried out in pain. He rubbed and shook his head to clear the ringing before sparing a glance at his opponent. Then he yelped in surprise before throwing himself to the right, narrowly missing her fist as she rammed it through the side of the bulldozer, punching straight through its metal surface. Rolling away he leapt to his feet and backed away as she pulled her fist free and began stomping toward him.

Pitch had to admit, she was strong. More powerful than any opponent he'd ever faced. Even Frost. He backed away as she advanced, but glancing upward he saw her walking under a platform of girders. Conjuring up a black spear he hurled it at the chain, severing it and sending the platform crashing down on top of her.

Limelight didn't have time to dodge as the girders fell on top of her.

Pitch kept his gaze trained on the various girders obscuring Limelight's form. He took deep breaths to steady himself before he rose to full height. He dusted his coat off, thinking he'd beaten her. But then golden light started to shine from underneath the girders.

With a shout Limelight stood up and threw her arms out, sending the girders flying off and away from her in an instant. She turned to glare at Pitch. Letting him know that she was far from done. Pitch responded by summoning more nightmares. He sent them at her in waves, trying to overwhelm her.

Limelight advanced, but not before grabbing a girder. Gripping it in both hands she swung it back and forth, obliterating the advancing nightmares with every swing. Then she started spinning in a full circle, all the while she kept advancing, destroying any nightmare she came within swinging distance of.

When there were no more she flung the girder at Pitch. Pitch raised a wall of sand and hardened it. The girder clanged against it and fell to the ground. But before he could do anything else Limelight punched her fist through the wall and grabbed him by the front of his coat. He yelped in surprise as she began pulling him forward, repeatedly slamming his face into his own wall.

He was forced to lower it. When he did he was met with the very angry face and golden, glowing eyes of the heroine. He squirmed and kicked at her but she ignored his attempts to get free.

Slowly Limelight raised him up higher with her left hand. Then she balled up her right hand into a tight fist. Locking eyes with Pitch she glared dangerously at him. Pitch gulped as he guessed what was coming. Dropping him, she swung her right fist forward with all her might. Pitch barely had time to raise a small sand shield up so he wouldn't take the full brunt of the blow he was sent flying hundreds of feet away. He sailed through the air, finally stopping when he crashed into billboard.

Groaning in pain he peaked an eye open only to see a gold flash before he was rammed through the billboard and tackled onto the building behind it.

Grabbing him by the coat Limelight began spinning in a full circle before she flung him off the roof. Pitch shouted as he sailed through the air. But then he summoned up a wall of sand to halt his flight. Turning the wall into a platform he knelt down and rubbed his throbbing head. He was sore all over from her attacks. He didn't know how much more he could take.

He glanced at the direction he came from and gave a wordless shout of terror as Limelight flew at him. Facing the opposite direction he got his platform moving as he fled. He narrowly avoided being blasted by the angry blonde as he made his way towards the water.

Inside the cove Frost showed Limelight where the sword was. She had asked him and he thought it was an appropriate time to tell her. He took her down the maze of tunnels before stopping at the large metal door that was the safe. It was where he and Fury kept the more dangerous things they kept after defeating a villain.

He explained that for now only him and Fury could get in. Limelight pouted playfully at hearing she didn't have access. He just chuckled and told her she'd get access when Fury got back. Limelight seemed to accept that before she asked about how to control the security inside the base. He raised an eyebrow inquisitively at her sudden curiosity. She explained that since they were a team she might need to know how to activate or deactivate it one day.

It made sense so with a shrug he led her to the supercomputer. When they got there he started going over the explanation on how the security worked and showed her the way to activate and deactivate it. Limelight watched and listened intently as he explained, asking the occasional question from time to time.

"So that's it then," Frost said finishing his explanation.

"Wow, that's pretty simple," Limelight said thoughtfully.

"Yep. Easy as pie."

Limelight smiled before facing him. She looked into his eyes and took a step forward. "Thank you darling," she said in a sultry voice. Frost raised an eyebrow at what she called him. She'd never called him darling.

He was about to ask her about it when she pulled him down for a kiss. Frost was surprised but waved it off before he returned it. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. Everything seemed normal at first.

Then he started to notice something strange. He could feel the strength leaving his body. He kept getting weaker and weaker as he became light headed. He tried pulling away from Limelight but she kept a firm grip on him. Keeping him close as the feeling kept coming.

Frost knew something was definitely wrong then.

Over the ocean overlooking Berk Limelight pursued Pitch relentlessly. The dark magic user kept fleeing, staying just ahead of her while occasionally sending nightmares to slow her down. But she ripped and blasted through them in her pursuit. Pitch glanced over his shoulder to see her gaining on him. Her hair and eyes a fierce golden glow as she flew at him in a rage.

With a growl Limelight tapped into more of her power. Her hair flashed before she put on a burst of speed. She shot past Pitch in a yellow streak before whirling around to face him. Pitch was so surprised that he couldn't stop in time. Raising a fist up Limelight swung it downward with all her might. Pitch made a small handheld shield of compressed sand to block, but even with it he was sent flying into the water.

He hit it with a loud splash before disappearing beneath its surface. Limelight stared at where he had gone under and waited to see if he would reemerge. When he didn't she narrowed her eyes and circled the spot, hovering a little lower to see if she could find him.

Then suddenly she saw something black underneath the water. Bubbles started rising to the surface as something huge was rising from the depths.

Then in a great spray a monstrous black whale appeared. Huge, the size of a ship. It gave a horrific call before its gaping mouth opened to swallow her whole.

Limelight didn't have time to move before she was engulfed.

The whale called out in victory as it moved it jaws. It floated in the air as it attempted to finish its opponent.

But suddenly its amber eyes widened as it felt energy building up from within itself. Its body began to expand and swell as a stream of light burst through, then another, and another. Before beams of golden light started coming out of its entire body.

Then all at once a golden burst of light ripped the thing apart, sending it body flying outward in all direction as the sand fell into the ocean, inert and useless.

Above the water where the whale had once been Limelight hovered, breathing heavily but with a triumphant smile. She glanced around in search of her opponent, but she concluded he'd fled.

"That's right you better run! I'm the one you should fear Pitch!" she shouted out. She then started flying back toward the harbor, taking note of her energy levels. She'd used up a decent amount. Fighting Pitch had been no easy feat.

She decided to inform Frost, she placed a finger to her earpiece and hailed him.

At the base Frost finally managed to pull his lips free of Limelight. He leaned back against the computer table as he put a hand to his aching head. He was out of breath, weak, and lightheaded. He had no idea where this had come from.

"What's wrong Frost?" Limelight asked in concern.

"Don't know. Just got light headed suddenly," he said shaking his head. He took deep breaths in an attempt to clear it. But suddenly his earpiece came on.

"Frost this is Limelight. I just fought Pitch and I'm on my way back to the Cove."

Frost's eyes went wide. Everything around him seemed to slow as he tried to process what was going on.

"Frost are you there?" Limelight asked.

He turned around to face the Limelight beside him only to be met to the face with something hard and black. The force of whatever he'd been hit with rattled his skull as he fell to the ground. He looked up in bewilderment as everything started to go black.

And suddenly standing above him was…"Gothel," he whispered out weakly.

Gothel smiled down at him darkly. Having dropped he disguise.

"That's right hero. Thanks for telling me what I need to know," she said smugly. Then she stepped over him to start typing at the keyboard. He realized he'd just shown Gothel how to shut down the security measures.

"No."

Limelight paled as she heard the dreaded name of her worst enemy, followed by her voice. Gothel was there, in the Cove. And it seemed as if Frost was in trouble. She flew back to the base as fast as she could manage.

Reaching a hand down she went to pull out her communicator to inform her other teammates when she found it gone. She gasped and stopped in midair from the shock. She tried to figure out what happened. She knew she had it when she left.

And suddenly a thought occurred to her.

"Pitch," she said lowly. The fear illusion was a distraction she realized. All so he could get her communicator off her. The communicator was the key to entering the base after all. But how had they known that? How had they found them?

She shook her head before she continued flying forward at full speed. It didn't matter right now. All that mattered was that the base was compromised and her teammate was in danger. She shattered the sound barrier as she sped toward the base, reaching it in less than a minute. She broke right through the wall of the shipyard building before standing on the platform.

She waited anxiously for it to take her down. But then she sighed as she realized without her communicator it wouldn't. Flying above the platform she forced energy into her hands before blasting at it, with a super-hot sun blast she started melting a hole in the platform. She made a full circle before she dove down. With a crash she smashed through he weakened platform before floating down into the Cove.

When she got there she looked and expected to find robots or Gothel. But all she saw was an empty cavern. Save for the still body of Frost at the supercomputer. She rushed over to him before kneeling down and cradling his head in his lap.

Her attention was drawn to the keyboard for a second and she looked up to see it sparking from damage. It looked like it'd been stabbed with something. Probably so they couldn't reactivate the security measures or call for help.

She looked back down at Frost and gasped. Gothel had worked her dark magic on him. His face was paler and his hair whiter than normal. His breath was ragged and strained. He looked old. With wrinkles for a man in his late 80s or something. He was weak and dangerously frail.

"Hold on Jack, I'll fix you right up," she assured him as she held back tears. She willed her hair to move and begin wrapping around him.

"No," he suddenly breathed out. She stopped and stared as he opened his eyes. "You…have…to…stop her…she's...going…for…the sword," he wheezed out between struggled breaths.

"No, I have to help you Frost, you could die," she insisted.

"Sword…comes first…go…be fine," Jack said weakly. She hesitated, understanding but torn about leaving him. But one look told her to go. With a nod she kissed him on the forehead before flying deeper into the base.

Frost laid there for a moment, still as he struggled to gather his strength. He assessed the situation. It was bad. They needed help.

They needed her.

Raising a shaky finger to his ear he pressed down on his ear piece. "Eve…come to the cove…priority alpha," he said aloud. A beep from his ear piece was confirmation his order had been received.

With that Frost slowly got himself up. His legs shook and trembled under his own weight, grabbing his cane he used it for support before summoning the winds. He used them to lift himself off the ground before hovering after Rapunzel.

He had to help her. They had to buy some time until their backup arrived.

Inside the tunnels of the Cove Limelight made her way to the vault. Truth be told she had no idea where it was. But she assumed following the trail of Drago bots would probably take her straight to it. So she smashed and blasted her way through them, ripping them to pieces as quickly as she could. Down one final tunnel she ripped a robot's head off before gazing ahead.

And that's when she saw Gothel, stepping out of a room with a large sword strapped to her back. Gothel took notice of her and smiled darkly.

"You're not getting away with that sword Gothel," Limelight growled out firmly.

Gothel just kept her confident smirk. "Oh I think I am little flower. But you're welcome to try and stop me," she said smoothly.

Limelight rose to her challenge, raising a hand up she fired a sun blast at her. But Gothel remained still before raising a hand up. And suddenly the sun blast vanished as it was sucked into Gothel's hand. Limelight gaped in shock before noticing some kind of gauntlet on Gothel's arm.

"Like it?" Gothel said as she raised it up in admiration. "Something my man made me. A little power syphoning device," she informed her. Limelight glared. Gothel only snorted in amusement.

With a shout Limelight threw herself at Gothel, raising a fist up high on the way. As she came down she threw her fist down, attempting to smash Gothel with one blow. But Gothel leapt back at the last second before waving her left hand through the air. In an instant black sand swirled around her before it compressed and formed itself into a long black rapier.

Gothel slashed a Limelight who barely managed to jerk her head back in time. But she still received a slight scratch on the cheek. Blood seeped from the wound slightly but disappeared a moment later.

"You don't live as long as I have without learning a few things flower," Gothel said as she raised her sword up. She swung it down before assuming a fencing stance. She leveled the sword at Limelight and waited.

Then she charged, swinging and lashing out at the heroine in an attempt to slash her apart. Limelight blocked with her arms, her outfit providing some protection with its durability. As she blocked and backed away she tried to punch and blast Gothel in retaliation, but Gothel would dodge or raise her gauntlet up in response.

And thus they continued to fight, stepping over destroyed robots as they tried to down the other. Soon they stumbled into the kitchen. Limelight got in a lucky swing, sending Gothel flying across the room and over a table. But soon she was on her feet. The sword in her hand turned into a small knife and she cocked back her hand to throw it.

Limelight saw something on the counter to her left and just reacted. As the knife went sailing at her she blocked with a frying pan. The skillet took the dagger without taking any damage. Gothel cursed aloud before Limelight threw it at her. It sailed through the air before hitting her on the head.

Gothel cried out in pain as she felt a bruise beginning to form. She glared at Limelight angrily for leaving a mark on her. But suddenly she was yanked off her feet. She landed flat on her back and looked down at her ankles to see Limelight's hair wrapped around them. In her distraction Limelight had lengthened her hair and had it run across the floor.

Before Gothel could summon her black sword and cut herself free Limelight's hair pulled her forward. She was dragged across the floor and to Limelight's feet. Limelight glared down at her before lifting her up by the shoulders and then with a shout threw her through the door to the kitchen.

Gothel crashed through the door painfully. She felt her left shoulder had become dislocated from the impact. She was on the ground as she attempted to rub the pain out. But then she felt a strong hand wrap around her throat before she was lifted off the ground.

She kicked and thrashed as she attempted to get free but Limelight was much stronger than she was. Limelight glared at her before slamming her into the wall behind her. Gothel cried out in pain as the wall behind her cracked. Then Limelight began to increase the pressure of her grip. She wasn't going to kill Gothel. Just suffocate her until she passed out.

She watched as Gothel struggling began to lessen. Then her eyes began to droop. Just a few more seconds and she'd out.

But suddenly Limelight was sucker punched from the right. The force of the blow caused her to drop Gothel and stumble in the opposite direction. When she looked back she saw Jasper, smirking proudly and once again in a bulky battle suit.

"Ready for another round Limelight?" he asked with dark eagerness.

Limelight groaned in annoyance. Nothing could ever be easy for them.

Meanwhile, from inside a storage room thrashing and snarling could be heard. Suddenly the door bent outwards as the beast locked inside threw itself at it. There were intruders. He could smell more than just one now. With a final growl the door gave and Toothless crashed out.

In his monstrous form her growled lowly as he sniffed the air. He caught the scent of the intruders and rushed to find them.

Limelight and Jasper fought madly, swinging at each other in an attempt to destroy the other. Limelight was rocked by a blow to the face. But she ducked another swing before spinning behind Jasper. Grabbing him from behind she rushed forward and slammed him into the wall. Then with a spin she threw him down the hall so she could get some breathing room.

She took deep breaths as she started to feel fatigued. Soddenly she wobbled a little. Then she tasted blood in her mouth. Those were all bad signs. It meant her near invulnerability was starting to go. Which meant she was running low on energy. Her fight with Pitch and then Gothel was starting to add up.

But shaking her head to clear it she advanced on Jasper. Determined to win.

But then suddenly she was tackled. She rolled with her attacker before being pinned down with hands around her throat. She gazed up into the mad eyes of Gothel. She tried to throw her off her but Gothel held on tight. All the while she felt her energy being drained.

She started to get dangerously low, both Gothel's magic and that gauntlet were syphoning her energy at a frightening speed. She started getting weaker.

Gothel just smiled maliciously. Intent on draining all of Limelight energy before killing her. Jasper started making his was forward to assist her when suddenly a cold breeze was felt. Gothel stopped for a moment before a powerful wind knocked into her and sent her flying off Limelight and into Jasper.

They both glared ahead before a thick wall of ice suddenly blocked their view.

Limelight stood up before rubbing her throat. She turned to see Frost floating there. His cane touched the floor and she could see trail of ice connecting to the ice wall. She smiled at him gratefully. He smiled back and gave a shaky thumbs up.

"Hey heroes!" came a shout from behind Frost. He turned and Limelight looked past him to see Horace. Clad in a battle suit of his own. He smiled at them before he pounded a fist into his palm. Suddenly a cracking sound was heard from behind. They glanced back to see a crack forming in the ice wall. No doubt from Jasper attempting to smash his way through.

They were trapped. They both turned their attention to Horace. He took a step forward before something rammed into him from behind.

"Toothless!" Limelight shouted happily. The wolf dog kept its attention on Horace who wrestled with him.

Suddenly the ice wall gave. Limelight and Frost turned to face Jasper and Gothel. But suddenly Horace came flying over their heads and straight into his brother and boss. They went tumbling in a heap before Toothless leapt between them.

He barked, with just enough force to collapse the ceiling in front of them. Closing the way off for their enemies. He looked at his friends and barked anxiously.

"We need to go," Limelight said firmly.

"But…sword…" Frost said in protest.

"We're in no shape to fight. It'll do us no good if we're both dead," she insisted. Frost mulled it over before sighing in defeat. With a nod he began leading them out with Toothless on their tail.

They came to the main chamber and were making their way to the exit platform when suddenly they noticed it was active. They watched and their stomachs dropped to their feet as they saw Pitch descending. A wicked smiled was on his face as he brought reinforcements. At least 10 more Drago bots.

The heroes cursed loud. But that was cut off as the Drago bots fired missiles at them. In a second Frost reacted. He created a wall of ice in front of them. Hoping to stop the missiles. But the missiles crashed into it and exploded. It took the brunt of the explosions but was broken. Frost was sent flying back from the force.

He landed painfully and he heard and felt a few of his now brittle bones crack. He cried out sharply as Limelight ran to his side. Pitch and the robots advanced, preparing to finish them.

Toothless stood in front of his allies. With a snarl he leapt at Pitch and the robots. Ready to tear them apart. But Pitch smiled before summoning a spiraling column of sand. It hit Toothless and threw him back. Slamming him to the ground. Before he could get up the Drago bot fired nets at him.

He tried to break free but the nets suddenly came alive. Filling his body with a powerful electrical current. He whined in pain, but was now helpless.

Limelight sensed the situation. It was bad. She was low on energy. Frost and Toothless were down. Suddenly footsteps were heard as Gothel and the Stabbingtons walked into the main chamber. She was outnumbered.

Things were bad. Maybe by some slim chance she could win. But if she did she'd be out of energy. Which meant she couldn't heal Frost. Which meant he could die.

But if she didn't fight they would all die. She cradled Frost's head in her lap as the situation seemed hopeless.

Pitch watched as Frost was helpless. Finally he could kill him. He snapped his fingers and summoned up nightmares. He looked at Limelight and Frost who were helpless against him and sneered.

"Boo," he said as he pointed his hands at them. The nightmare surged forward. Five of them, ready to rip the heroes apart.

Limelight stayed there. She raised a hand up. She gathered her energy into it. Ready to make a final stand.

The nightmares leapt, bearing down on them with menacing amber eyes.

Limelight narrowed her eyes, this was it.

But then suddenly blue flashes flew from the side and hit the nightmares with deadly accuracy. They were obliterated in a blink of an eye. The villains stood there shocked before another blast impacted near their feet. They leapt back in surprise and gazed at the smoldering hole a few inches from where they'd been standing.

Limelight gaped in shock, trying to comprehend what happened. Then suddenly something lowered itself in front of her. She looked at in in surprise.

It was…some kind of robot. It was all white, egg shaped, and hovering just off the ground. It had two arms with no fingers. She had no idea where it'd come from.

"About time Eve," Frost said with a chuckle. Limelight looked at him in confusion. He knew what it was? "It's ok babe. She's on our side," he said to reassure her.

Limelight looked back up at the robot in front of them.

Eve.

The villains all glared at this new robot. They saw its head floated above its body and it appeared to have a face. A black screen with blue circles resembling eyes. They were wide as it seemed to be assessing the situation.

"Drago bots detected. Intruders identified as Gothel and Pitch Black," Eve said as she scanned their faces. Suddenly the villains noticed her eyes changed. They narrowed, looking as if she were glaring at them.

"Directive," the ends of her arms at her sides split apart to become fingers. Eve started to draw more energy form her plasma core. Her scanners and sensors went into battle mode as her weapons went live.

"Destroy."

New chapter. Eve is here from the requests of some of the reviewers. Hope you like.
