Fighting Back

Eve and the villains stared each other down as they waited for the other to attack. Eve's scanners watched for any signs of movement. She had come to the cove as fast as she could when Frost had called her. And she'd shown up just in time to save him and Limelight.

Limelight watched and waited for something to happen. She wondered if this Eve robot could really help them. There was just one of 'her' after all. She was outnumbered. But Frost didn't seem worried.

"It's ok Punz. She's got this," Frost said with a confident smile. He had full faith in Eve's power. That's why he'd called for her. She was only ever called from her post in absolute emergencies.

"Boys, destroy this thing," Gothel commanded in annoyance.

"With pleasure ma'am," Horace said with a smile. He stepped forward, eager to rip this robot apart and destroy Limelight. Jasper was right behind him. Equally anxious to smash something.

Eve waited for them to get closer. And that's when she acted.

Before Horace could react she surged forward and drove the fingers on her right hand through the center of his chest. Horace gaped in shock at how easily she'd pierced his chest plate. He was about to fight back when Eve then yanked her arm free, ripping out the central power unit before tossing it the side.

Horace's suit malfunctioned and sparked from the gaping hole in the torso before going inactive. Horace fell backward with a yelp and was trapped by his heavy suit.

Jasper cursed at the robot before charging her. He swung at her but she dodged, lowering before moving behind him. But as she did her arms and hands were a blur as they shot out and spun madly as she circled him.

After making a full circle Eve moved back. Jasper glared at her in confusion. Wondering what she'd done. Eve opened her hands and let many tiny screws and bolts fall to the floor. Jasper gaped in shock before his armor simply fell off him in pieces.

He was wide eyed and slack jawed as he stared down at himself. She'd removed the screws and bolts holding his armor together so quickly and easily. He glanced back up and yelped when he saw Eve right in front of him.

Eve glared before she punched Jasper in the chest, sending him flying back before crashing in the cavern wall. He groaned in pain before blacking out.

"Dragon bots, attack," Gothel commanded s she pointed a finger at Eve. The robots obeyed. They flew at her with their weapons armed.

Eve locked onto them and powered up her plasma core. She then rocketed into the air and at them. Flipping her arm around she activated her blaster and fired at the nearest one.

A small hole was blasted clean through the one she'd targeted. It went offline from the damage but didn't explode due to Eve's well placed shot. As it was falling Eve stuck her blaster arm through the hole and used the body as a shield while the other robots fired at her.

With her makeshift shield she blasted the Drago bots one by one, hitting vital components she'd detected from her scans. The robots exploded and went up in fiery messed before crashing through the ground.

One fired a missile at her, trying to blow her to pieces. But Eve spun and flung her shield in the missile's path. It exploded in midair upon impact and created a cloud of smoke. The Drago bot attempted to peer through the smoke with its scanners and detect Eve when suddenly its head was ripped off.

Eve had come around from behind and attacked. She tore its head off and flung it away. Then she stuck her blaster down its body before firing her weapon. The robots body exploded in a fiery blue flash as it was blown apart from the inside.

Only one robot remained as it kept trying to fight back. But Eve flew at it with blinding speed before with a sideways swipe of her hands, she sliced the head clean off.

With that the Drago bots were all defeated. And Eve hadn't taken any damage.

Everyone gaped in shock as they had watched Eve decimate the Stabbingtons and the Drago bots. But Frost only chuckled at their matching expressions.

"Told ya," he said to Limelight. Limelight started up in wonder. She was glad Eve was on their side.

Eve dropped from the air to hover just above the ground. She turned her attention to Gothel and Pitch. She waited for them to make a move. Her main priority was to protect Frost and Limelight.

Pitch snarled angrily. He wasn't going to let some machine stop him from killing Frost. He conjured his black scythe and charged forward. He slashed at her with a horizontal swing. But Eve calculated the trajectory and remained still. As the scythe was about to make contact she simply let her head hover a few more inches above her body. The blade passed through empty air and Pitch was wide eyed.

Eve used his surprise and pointed her blaster at him. She charged her energy into it and prepared to fire. Before she could Pitch made a sand shield to protect himself. It worked as Eve fired, saving him from having his head blown off. But he was sent flying across the cavern.

He hit the ground hard. He winced in pain as he felt a few of his ribs had broken. He glanced up to see Eve advancing on him. Getting to his feet he disappeared into the shadows.

Eve stopped where Pitch had been and scanned the area for him. She swept her head back and forth and attempted to locate him.

Limelight watched as Eve attempted to locate Pitch. She hated how Pitch could just disappear and reappear from the shadows. She suddenly saw Pitch materialize behind Eve, his scythe cocked back and ready to destroy her.

She called out as Pitch swung. He figured he'd just won. But the scythe collided with something. A shimmering half sphere was suddenly around Eve's body. A kinetic energy barrier of her own. With Pitch having exposed himself she whirled around and grabbed him by the front of his coat.

Then she started spinning. She spun until she was a blur. Pitch cried out as the world became a wild blur. He started feeling nauseous before she let him go and flung him across the cavern again. He caught himself on a platform of sand and sent nightmares at her.

But Eve simply spun again. Her body became like a drill as she flew at the nightmares. Shredding them apart as she flew passed them. When they were gone she turned her attention back to Pitch.

Suddenly a shout was heard and Eve quickly raised her arm up and Gothel attempted to bring her black sword down upon her. But Eve's alloy was very strong. She attempted to strike back with a back hand but Gothel leapt back before she conjured illusions.

The Gothel illusions circled Eve. Gripping their swords firmly. She figured she'd wait for an opening and then strike.

But Eve wasn't fooled by her magic. After all, only one was real. And that meant only one had a heat signature.

Locking on she fired at the ground in front of the real one. The blast knocked her off her feet and sent her tumbling back to finally stop near Pitch. Gothel looked up before jerking her head to the side, narrowly missing a plasma blast where her head had just been.

She spared a glance to see where the plasma blast had gone. And her eyes landed on a smoldering hole in the cavern wall. Gothel stared wide eyed and gulped. The robot had tried to kill her.

Gothel and Pitch both turned their attention to Eve and stared.

Eve had her blaster on them. Her eyes were narrowed as she had them locked on. She let the power build up in her blaster. The villains noticed when they saw the blue glow emanating from the nozzle. They saw the glow build and get brighter. They knew the robot was trying to send a message.

The next shot would be for keeps.

"Pitch. We need to go. We have what we came for," Gothel whispered quietly. It was obvious they were not match for the robot.

Pitch remained silent and glared at Eve. He was seething at being denied the chance to kill Frost. But he reluctantly agreed with a nod. He and Gothel began to chant together, stirring up sand and dust around them and the Stabbingtons before disappearing.

Eve scanned the area thoroughly. When she couldn't detect any presence of the enemy she lowered her arm. Then she turned and hovered over to Toothless. With a swipe of her hand she cut through the net before removing it. Toothless stood up and shook himself. He licked at Eve in thanks, earning a giggle in response.

Then Eve turned her attention to the humans. She hovered over to them and scanned Frost.

"Rapid Cellular aging detected. No known medical response," Eve said. Her eyes changed, resembling a worried and scared expression. She felt helpless, not knowing what to do to save him.

"It's ok…Eve," Limelight said to reassure her. It felt strange talking to a robot. She wrapped her hair around Frost and began pouring her energy into him. She sang her healing song and watched as his wrinkles smoothed and she heard his ribs click back into proper alignment.

His breathing became less strained and he managed to sit up.

"Eve, call Fury. Inform him of what's going on," Frost commanded. Eve nodded before calling her creator. But for some reason she could tell the signal wasn't getting through. She kept trying.

And while she did she kept on guard. Protecting her creator's friends and allowing Frost to heal.

In Scotland Hiccup started to stir from the blackness of his mind. The last thing he remembered was being attacked by Drago.

Drago, his mind suddenly screamed as he sat up quickly. This proved to be a bad decision as he felt his head throb and scream in protest.

"Don't move," came a familiar voice before he was suddenly pushed back down. He finally took noticed of a cloaked figure next to him. And he could now tell his head was being cradled.

"Merida?" he asked in slight confusion. The figure nodded. He then realized she was in her Archer outfit. "Ugh…where are we? What happened?" he asked.

"We're in the secret tunnels leading out of the castle. Ye were knocked out cold by the explosion of our car. So I carried you here to hide," she paused to look toward the light. "It's morning now."

Hiccup got up slower this time. He could see they were in a cave now. He looked ahead to see some rocks piled up in what could have been a cave opening. Light leaked through the cracks.

"So what now?" he asked aloud.

"I don't ken. The exit is blocked, and going back is nae an option."

Hiccup thought about their situation. The rocks could probably be moved. But they would need a considerable amount of force and strength to do it.

"Merida I don't suppose you have my suitcase?" he asked her. She nodded before reaching an arm out and showing it to him. Hiccup smiled. Slowly he began making his way to his feet.

"Did you call the team?" he asked as he got to his knees.

"Aye. I can't reach them. Been trying for hours," she replied.

"Drago must be jamming the signal," he said thoughtfully. Reaching an arm out, he grabbed his suitcase and pulled it to him. Then he placed his palm on the front of it. A buzz was heard before his hand was scanned. The suitcase suddenly popped open.

Merida watched in fascination as he stuck his hand into some hand holds. Then he lifted the suitcase up and brought it to his chest. It suddenly clamped on around him as he pulled his hands free. She gasped as she saw they were now covered with gauntlets.

She realized that the suitcase was armor. She watched in amazement as it began expanding, clicking, and building itself on around him. It was different from what she usually saw him wear. Lime green with splashes of red, and even small horns on the head. The helmet looked like a dragon as it came up.

"Stand back," he said in an altered voice. She complied, standing up and stepping away. Hiccup looked at the wall and raised his gauntlets up at it. He began to build up energy as he prepared to fire at it.

Then he unleashed it. Two powerful blasts blew the rocks away, leaving their exit clear as sunlight streamed through. Merida and Hiccup smiled happily as they finally stepped out into the daylight. They saw they were at the castle wall, hidden in the forest.

They walked out while warily looking around. But soon enough they came to an open field. And standing in the center were Drago and Mor'du.

"Ah, there you are heroes. Ah was afraid ye were dead," Mor'du said with a smirk.

Fury and Archer glared back at them.

"Now if ye don't mind. We'll be taking the stone," Mor'du said pointing at Archer. Archer only slipped it into a pocket on her cloak before pulling out her bow and grabbing an arrow. Fury began to draw energy from his plasma core.

They were ready this time. They could fight now.

Mor'du and Drago smiled. Drago twirled his pike in his hands and rolled his shoulders. Mor'du smiled, baring his teeth and pulled out a war axe and some kind of fire arm.

Drago was the first to attack. He pointed his pike at them and fired. But Fury raised hand up and fired back. The blasts collided in the middle of them and created an explosion. The two sides couldn't be seen by the other until suddenly Drago leapt through the smoke.

He had his pike arm cocked back as he prepared to swing at them. But Fury leapt at him and tackled him to the ground. Pining him down he punched Drago repeatedly in the face, his armored gauntlet clanged upon contact with Drago's super thick and hard skull.

Drago growled and his eyes changed to reptilian slits before he grabbed Fury by the throat with his robotic arm and flipped them over. Pinning him down beneath him. He raised his pike and prepared to stab him but Fury pressed a palm to his chest and charged his energy. Then he fired, hitting Drago squarely in the chest and sending him flying off him.

Fury leapt to his feet and advanced on him.

Meanwhile, Archer and Mor'du fired at each other. Mor'du kept blocking her arrows with a swing from his huge double bladed axe before returning for with his strange blaster.

It was some kind of laser weapon, and extremely powerful as it left a smoldering hole in the ground. Archer nimbly dodged and rolled out of the way before returning fire.

"Why are ye doing this Mor'du?!" she shouted out at him.

"Just finishing what was started all those years ago," Mor'du said as he fired at her.

"Why? Your ancestor was a madman. Why are ye so obsessed with finishing what he started?" she said as she fired another arrow.

Mor'du blocked with the flat of his blade and knocked it away. He looked at Archer with his beast like eyes and chuckled darkly. "Ye still don't get it. Do ye?" he growled out. Archer cocked her head to the side, not knowing what he meant.

"Ah am not my ancestor Archer," Mor'du revealed. Archer's eyes widened in shock. What he was saying was impossible. That could only mean…

"I. AM. MOR'DU!"
