Everyone was still recovering after the loss of Rahz especially young Kyle.

"The Dark Army did this," said Kyle as he cried. His sister placed a hand on his shoulders the comfort him, but that did very little to help. "They send my father to Valhalla and they're holding our people prisoner."

"So what do we do?" Hiccup asked looking at Freed.

"We do nothing," said Freed.

Everyone stared up at him.

"We do not nothing?" Hiccup stared. "They might have my friend Camicazi, we've got to try and rescue her and the others."

"Please, listen to Hiccup what he says makes sense," said Kyle's sister. "Let's take a stand."

"The light of the comet burns too brightly," Freed reminded. "We must lay low."

"Lay low?" Hiccup stared. "My friend needs me, if you won't help I'll do it alone."

Freed scoffed. "Fool," he said.


Hiccup left the room with Astrid, Ragnar and Axel behind. Axel closed the door and turned towards Hiccup, who was starting to make his way down the passageway.

"Hey, listen to us, Hiccup!" Axel called. "We want to find Camicazi as badly as you do, but we need a plan you can't just rush in. Freed has kept these people safe."

"And if he thinks we should lay low for the time being," Astrid began.

"Then we should," Axel finished. "Dark Army, Hiccup. They don't sound like fun and with that, burning out there they might see you coming."

"Hiccup, you're becoming far too reckless since we got here," said Ragnar. "You're acting without thinking and putting the entire group in danger. You need to slow down, you won't be able to find Camicazi if you're sent to Valhalla."

"They're right, stay with us," said Astrid strongly.

"Guess I will," Hiccup sighed and then slammed his fist against the wall.


A little while later, after they created a grave marker for Rahz, Axel began discussing tactics with Freed.

"So, what's our next move?" Axel asked.

"Once the comet passes we will retreat from the mountains and develop a new strategy," said Freed.

"Sounds good," said Axel.

However, Astrid and Agnar rushed in with frantic looks on their faces.

"Hiccup," Agnar panted. "He's missing. We left alone for two seconds."

"Come again," said Axel staring at them.

Freed turned around not looking completely surprised.


Hiccup had snuck out of the sanctum and was making his way to the camp.

'I know I said I would stay, but Camicazi needs my help,' he said to himself. 'I can't risk anything happening to her. Even if it means me being caught.'


"So he went off on his own," said Snotlout.

"Sure looks that way," said Wartihog.

"Oh, Thor, he's all by himself we've got to help him," said Fishlegs.

"Wonderful idea we find the Dark Army prison, beat all the monsters and save the day," said Agnar sarcastically.

"He never said it would be easy," said Ragnar.

"Come on, how many times has Hiccup saved us," said Heather.

"Too many to count," said Astrid.

Heather nodded. "We have to go out there and help him."

"Heather!" Axel stared.

"Well, you can count me in," said Wartihog.

"Yeah, me too," Fishlegs nodded.

"All you really need is me," said Snotlout.

"I guess I'll just go along to save you guys," said Agnar. He then looked at the others. "Are you guys coming to save the day?"

The others just shrugged at one another.

"You're welcome to join us," said Heather looking at Freed. "You're a great warrior and we could really use all the decks we can get."

Freed just stood there in silence which was all the answer they needed.

"See you around Freed," said Wartihog as he, Heather, Fishlegs, Snotlout and Agnar left down the passageway.

"And don't like leaving my best friend out in the wings," said Ragnar folding his arms.

"Same here and I'm his girlfriend," Astrid nodded.

Thuggory looked at Axel. "Hey, Axel, I want to help Hiccup as much as the next guy, but… Dark Army… secret prisons… and some guy named Zure?" He then smiled to himself. "On second thought it sounds like fun."

"Well then guess it's settled," said Axel. He then turned and looked at Freed. "Freed…"

"Save your breath," said Freed. "We almost do that which is right."

Axel and the others smiled.


They then followed Freed back to with the remaining villages resided.

"My people, the time has arrived," said Freed looking at them all. "We must leave."

Everyone was taken aback by this proclamation especially Astrid and the others.

"Wait a second, you're not helping," said Axel. "We need you!"

"I thought knight was supposed to be chivalrous," Astrid glared.

"What's this all about?" Thuggory demanded.

Ragnar approached him and grabbed him by the helm of his tunic. "You coward!"

Freed released Ragnar's grip. "Hiccup has gone to awaken the Dark Army, we are no longer safe here. We must leave now!"


Meanwhile Hiccup had finally reached the camp that Rahz had mentioned before he vanished.

'I know the dark Army has got you in there Camicazi and I'm going to get you out,' said Hiccup to himself as he pressed himself against boulders.

He then looked up at the lookout tower and saw that there was no one. 'No guard?' He then looked at the second tower and saw that there was no one there either. 'Non-there either.' He then noticed that the front gate was slightly ajar. 'And it looks like the front gate is unlocked. This is getting weird.'

It was clearly a trap, but Hiccup was to focus on saving Camicazi to think straight. He quickly made his way over towards the gate and saw that there was no white inside the compound either.

'The place looks empty. There's not a Fiend inside. Something is definitely wrong,' he frowned.

He then made his way inside and rushed towards the cells which were carved into the mountain base. 'Let's just say how deserted this place truly is.'

He made his way over towards the cells and saw that they were empty as well. He kept on looking from cell to cell until he found a dirty blonde girl about his age chained up.

"Camicazi!" he yelled rushing inside. "I knew I would find you." He bent down towards her. "Camicazi?"

The girl opened her eyes and he discovered that her eyes were brown instead of blue. "You're not her," he sighed. Despite this he freed her from the chains. "Listen I'm going to get you out of here now."

"Thank you," she said with relief and he placed her arm around his shoulders. "Thank you been here for so long."

"Where's everybody else?" Hiccup asked.

"Far away from here," she winced. "It's called the Fortress of—" She then winced. "I was left because I was not a warrior. I wasn't worthy."

"Well I've got you now," said Hiccup as they hobble their way out of the cell. "So don't you worry we'll get you—"

He stopped, because blocking their path to the gate were a group of Fiends and they parted to reveal Zure.

"It was a trap," said Hiccup.

"And you walked right into it thanks to the light of the comet," said Zure as he approached them. "Our scouts saw you and informed me of your imminent arrival."

"Keep me and let her go," said Hiccup.

"I shall decide who goes," said Zure.

"Oh yeah," said Hiccup as he slowly backed away from him with the girl. "And who are you?"

"I am Zure, Commander of the all-powerful Dark Army," he said turning towards them drawing his sword. "And she can go to Valhalla!"

Suddenly a beam shot his sword and struck the girl and Hiccup watch as she disappears and particles of light.

Zure laughed. "And your next!"

Hiccup suddenly felt a burning rage flow through his body and this did not caught unawares by Zure. 'This boy is unlike other humans. I only witness energy like this once before in his presence. Could it be that this boy is similar to—' He then shook his idea dismissing the notion. 'Nonsense.'

Hiccup then activated his duel disk.

"Well, do you know the rules?" Zure asked.

"Oh yeah," Hiccup nodded.

Zure then plunged his sword into the ground. "Then you will join your friends." He then looked to his underlings. "Give us room to duel."

Immediately the Fiends started to move frantically as the two of them took positions around the complex.

Zure then grabbed the spike on his right arm and pulled it back and flesh like duel disk appeared.

"All right, Zure," said Hiccup.

"Let's duel!" they yelled.

Hiccup: 4000

Zure: 4000

"It's my move," said Zure as he drew. "And I play…" He then summoned the card that he had just drawn. "Gene-Warped Warwolf!"

Then a beast like creature with four arms appeared on the field. (ATK: 2000/ DEF: 100)

"You're move boy," said Zure.

'That creature has a lot of bite to it,' he said to himself.

Hiccup then reached for his deck. "Okay, Zure. Watch this…" he said as he drew. He looked at the card he had drawn and then held it out. It was a spell card with someone stealing Belch's armour. "I play the spell card Dragon Knight Impostor. Which allows me to summon Dragon Knight Toothless to the field."

Suddenly appearing on the field was Toohless. (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2200)

"However, Toothless is not able to attack and wanted my End Phase…"

Zure laughed. "He goes back to your hand, right?" he guessed. "What a waste of a draw you are pathetic."

"We'll see about that," Hiccup smiled. "Now I play my Dawn!"

Suddenly appearing on the field was his Dragon Spirit of light. (ATK: 500/ DEF: 900)

The smile from Zure vanished instantly. "A Dragon Spirit! He gasped. "But those…"

"Can fuse with this… Spirit Fusion!" Hiccup commanded. "Now I summon out my Dragon Knight Dawn Toothless!"

Dawn then turned into bright light that entered into Toothless and with the light fading he stood there in his light form. (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2200)

"And next I play the field spell card Dragon Sanctuary!" Hiccup yelled inserting his Dragon Sanctuary card into his field card slot.

They then suddenly found themselves inside the Dragon Sanctuary.

"Due to the fact Dawn Toothless gets 500 more attack points."

Toothless right at home with the Dragon Sanctuary which gave him power. (ATK: 2500-3000)

"He's too powerful," said Zure backing away slowly.

"Got that right," said Hiccup. "Your Warwolf is getting sent to the pound! Go, Spear of Light!"

A spear for pure light then appeared in Toothless hand and he instantly tossed it at Warwolf who was automatically destroyed the moment it may impact. The impact of the explosion then struck Zure with immense force.

Hiccup: 4000

Zure: 3000

"And there's more where that came from," said Hiccup.


Meanwhile Heather and the others have now reached the cliff that overlooks the camp. From there they could see that Hiccup was in the middle of a duel and surrounded by Fiends.

"There he is," said Heather.

"You think you might need some saving?" Wartihog asked.

Then they heard noises behind them and turned to find several Fiends behind them and was slowly making their way towards them.

"No, but we might," said Fishlegs.


Meanwhile at the mountain Freed was evacuating the villages and Astrid and the others just watched.

"This way," he said. "You'll be safe."

"For now you will," said Axel.

"If we want to help Hiccup we should move out," said Thuggory.

Freed looked back at them.

"Listen, I understand your concern but protecting these people, but if we don't move now everything you fought for will be for not," said Ragnar. He then showed Freed's medallion which got his attention. "I'm a member of the Order as well and I know that this is time to act."

"We can't just sit around and do nothing," Astrid nodded.

Freed looked at them and said nothing.

"Thanks for nothing, Freed," said Axel as he and the others ran down the pathway as quickly as they could.

Freed just stood there watching as they disappeared round the corner.


Meanwhile at the camp, the duel between Hiccup and Zure was still raging on.

"It's my turn. And I play…" said Zure as he drew. He then looked at the card he had drawn. "The field spell Power Zone!"

He then inserted the card he drew into his arm and then immediately an immense gravitational force pushed down upon all of them destroying the Dragon Sanctuary. It was so powerful that it created a crater within the area they were duelling on. (ATK: 2500-3000)

"Not good," said Hiccup.

"With your Dragon Sanctuary gone your dragons now lose power and whenever a monster is destroyed the owner of the card will take damage equal to the destroyed monster's original attack points," Zure laughed. "And now…"

He then grabbed a card in his hand and immediately summoned it. Suddenly a fiendish like creature appeared on the field with a sharp tail and claws. (ATK: 1800/ DEF: 100)

"By playing Power Annihilator you'll get to witness this first hand!" he laughed. "If you please Power Annihilator attack his Dawn Toothless!"

Immediately Power Annihilator charge straight towards him.

"Hold on, Toothless is too strong so he's pulling the power," said Hiccup.

However, a split second later Power Annihilator got a major power boost. (ATK: 1800-2800)

Hiccup stared. "What the—"

"That would be Annihilator's special ability, if your monster had less attack points then Annihilator would lose 1000 of its points. However, Toothless has more so mine gains 1000," Zure explained. "Looks like the power has been restored."

Hiccup watched as Annihilator stabbed Toothless' with his tail destroying him instantly and causing the explosion. The impact of the explosion then slammed right into Hiccup.

Hiccup: 3700

Zure: 3000

"And thanks to Power Zone your life points get drained by 2500! Now get ready for another power surge from my hand!" Zure roared.

Hiccup then felt a massive force pushing him down and forced him down on his knees.

Hiccup: 1200

Zure: 3000

Power Annihilator then retreated back to Zure's side of the field. (ATK: 2800-1800)

"Because next I play the spell Power Spirit!" said Zure playing a continuous spell card.

Hiccup: 1200

Zure: 2000

"In order for this to take effect all I need to do is sacrifice 1000 of my life points and then you can only attack if your monster is 1000 points stronger than mine!"

Hiccup grimaced because he knew what that meant.

"I play a facedown and with that you go," said Zure placing a card facedown on the field. He then looked up at Hiccup with an evil look on his face. "And now that my ultimate combo has been completed, between Power Annihilator and Power Spirit you need a monster with at least 3800 points to defeat my Annihilator and you think that I expected a challenge from you!"

Hiccup grimaced not sure how things could get worse.

Of course things got worse as Fiends entered the encampment and with them were Heather and the others.

"Oh no," Hiccup stared.

"Hello," said Fishlegs nervously.

"Why did you guys follow me?" Hiccup yelled.

"Well, uh…" said Wartihog looking that the Fiend holding the spears.

"We felt like getting captured," Snotlout grumbled.

Agnar looked at him awkwardly. "We're you know…"

"Sorry," Heather finished.

Zure laughed. "You arrived just in time to watch your friend lose!"

"Sorry, Zure think again," said Hiccup as he drew. The card he had drawn was Dragon Spirit Pyro and his hand contained Spirit Soul and Dragon Knight Amber. "I summon Dragon Knight Amber in defence mode."

Suddenly appearing on the field was the amber coloured young knight in a defensive position. (ATK: 600/ DEF: 200)

"With that I end my turn," said Hiccup.

Zure laughed. "That's your turn? You should just give up its quicker."

Hiccup merely narrowed his eyes.


Meanwhile Astrid and the others had reached the cliffs that overlooked the camp and saw that Hiccup and the others were in deep trouble.

"Hiccup!" Astrid cried.

"He ain't looking too good," said Thuggory.

"And it looks like Heather and the others had gotten themselves captured as well," Ragnar noticed.

"This doesn't look good," said Axel.


Meanwhile Freed was evacuating the villages away from the village, thankfully the Fiends attention were no doubt on Hiccup and the others so they managed to get away safely. Freed looked down into the valley pondering hard.

Kyle then approached him. "Excuse me, Sir Freed."

Freed turned and knelt down towards him. "What is it that bothers you? Did you leave something behind?" he asked placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Hiccup," said Kyle.

"His path is different. Hiccup follows what his heart is telling him. Though surely in the end, he will find nothing but defeat," Freed sighed.

"But he needs you," said Kyle.

Freed nodded.


Meanwhile back at the duel, it was Zure's turn.

"I'm afraid this is the end, it's my turn," he said as he drew. He then instantly played the card he had drawn. "And I shall play Ring of Fiendish Power! With this spell card you are forced to attack Power Annihilator and then shoot your monster get destroyed you take damage equal to your monster's defence points."

Then suddenly attaching to Power Annihilator was a ring around its arm.

"Now destroy that whelp of a Knight!" Zure commanded. "Attack with Power Pulse Slash!"

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Hiccup asked. "Since your monster is stronger it will lose 1000 of it attack points."

Bayern are

Power Annihilator jumped into the air and headed straight towards Amber, but started to lose power because it got. (ATK: 1800-800)

However, it was still strong enough to destroy Amber with its tail. "It's still tough enough to take your Knight out. And there's more to come, due to my field spell Power Zone once you're Knight is destroyed her attack points attack your life points!"

Hiccup then felt a massive amount of gravity striking him.

Hiccup: 600

Zure: 2000

Zure laughed. "And now my ring takes effect with this spell you take another dose of damage! Your monster defence points attack your life points directly!"

The ring on Power Annihilator then glowed and a powerful beam shot from it striking Hiccup hard.

"Hiccup!" Fishlegs cried.

"Hang in there!" Wartihog yelled.

Hiccup: 400

Zure: 2000

"And now I play this Explosion Fuse!" he yelled revealing his facedown card. "This trap activates when your monster is destroyed in battle, it allows me to summon one Power Bombard from my deck and equip him with it and during my next Standby Phase I lose my Bombard, but not before inflicting 1000 points of damage to you!"

Suddenly appearing on the field was a fiendish like insect. (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 0)

"There's no way for you to defeat me in this battle!" Zure laughed. "Even if you find a monster that can defeat my Annihilator once it attack points change my Bombard special ability activates dealing you 1800 point of damage! So no matter what you do you'll be sent to Valhalla! I could attack now and send you there now, but I prefer to see you squirm!"

Hiccup grimaced, because he was completely trapped. He could attack or defend or else he would lose the duel.

"It looks like your luck has run out," Zure laughed maniacally. "Don't worry once I blast you to Valhalla I'll be sure to make sure you have company. I'll start with the large one or maybe I should just keep them prisoner here for the rest of their lives!"

Hiccup eyes widened in horror. "You wouldn't." He then turned to the others and saw the Fiends closed in on them making so they could escape.

"I think he would," Fishlegs whimpered.

"Help us!" Heather pleaded.

"Hold on," said Hiccup.

"Hiccup!" a voice yelled.

Everyone looked up and saw Freed looking down at them from one of the watchtowers. He had already taken out the guards there and there was looking down at Hiccup.

"Never fear, together we will rescue them!" he yelled.

"Sir Freed!" Hiccup stared.

Astrid and the others just stared at Freed's grand entrance.

"He's here," Astrid gasped.

Freed then jumped into the air. "My friend, you have shown the courage. Now you shall be rewarded."

He's only turned into particles of light and vanished. 'Hiccup allow my warrior spirit to join with your deck.'

Hiccup watched as Freed's duel disk landed on the ground and the particles vanished.

"You got it, Sir Freed," said Hiccup. He then looked at Zure. "Hey, Zure I'm about to finish this. It's my move." Hiccup then drew and his eyes widened, because he had drawn Freed. "Can it be? It's him." He then turned his eyes upon the duel. "Zure, I summon Freed the Brave Wanderer!"

Suddenly appearing on the field was none other than Freed himself. (ATK: 1700/ DEF: 1200)

"What? I can't be!" Zure roared.

"Oh, yes it can," said Hiccup grabbing another card in his hand. "Now I've played Spirit Soul! By selecting Freed I now summon up a Dragon Spirit. So I'm playing Dragon Spirit Pyro!"

His spirit of fire then appeared on the field in attack mode. (ATK: 600/ DEF: 500)

"Now for every spell and trap card on your field Pyro gains 400 additional attack points for each and every one," Hiccup continued. "Since you have four cards he gets 1600 points stronger."

Flames then covered Pyro as he felt a surge of strength entering into his body. (ATK: 600-2200)

"And then there's my Spirit Soul spell card which allows me to take all of Pyro's attack points at them directly to Freed the Brave Wanderer!"

Zure's eyes widened. "Oh no!"

"Looks like someone is getting a power boost," said Hiccup looking at Freed. (ATK: 1700-3900)

"It's useless!" Zure roared. "You've lost. You can't win, as soon as you attack Power Annihilator special ability will activate and Power Bombard will exploded beating you once and for all!"

Freed smiled. "Not quite," he said as he raised his sword which began to glow and he struck Power Annihilator. "By activating Justice Bright this battle ends now."

"This special effect allows me to remove from play two light monster from my grave and then a monster with more attack points than Freed is destroyed," Hiccup explained as he removed from play Dawn Toothless and Amber.

Zure was taken aback.

"And Zure turns out Freed had less points than you Annihilator before his boost," said Hiccup.

Suddenly Power Annihilator exploded.

"Impossible!" Zure roared.

"Horrid Fiend! Feel the wrath of my Brave Sword Attack!" Freed roared and charged towards Zure.

Freed then slammed his sword down with all his might and destroy Power Bombard and then stuck Zure removing the laster of his lift points.

Hiccup: 400 (Winner!)

Zure: 0

Zure roared and then vanished into particles of light. Then drop into the ground were five peals each with a different symbol. Sadness, doubt, anguish, anger and hatred.

"He's gone," Heather stared.

"Just like that," Fishlegs breathed.

"We don't believe," said Agnar.

"No way," said Snotlout.

"Neither can I," said Wartihog.

Apparently the Fiends didn't believe it either as they dropped their weapons with their eyes widened.

"Zure has been sent to Valhalla," said a goblin.

Freed then turned and faced them in the immediately backed away.

"He's too strong!"

"Let's get out of here!"

The hologram is then faded, but Freed remained behind.

Hiccup then approached him. "You saved my life."

Then suddenly Freed began to glow.

"Sir Freed!" Hiccup gasped and looked down at his deck and saw that his card was glowing as well. "What's happening?"

"I must leave, I will find my place in Valhalla," said Freed.

"But why? You rescued us and your villages need you, right?"

Freed smiled at him. "They will be safe now that Zure's gone you have given them strength."

"Don't go!" Hiccup pleaded.

"Hiccup, you must fight the darkness," he said and then suddenly turn into particles of light and vanished.

"Sir Freed!" Hiccup yelled.

Astrid and the others then entered into the camp.

"Everyone all right?" Thuggory asked.

"Looks like it," said Astrid relieved.

"Yeah, but Hiccup sure made it close for all of us," said Axel.

"He's getting more reckless by the minute," said Ragnar quietly.

"That was terrifying," said Heather shaking. "And we still haven't found Camicazi."

"I'm not stopping until we do," said Hiccup looking at Freed's duel disk. "Camicazi is still out there and I'm not going to make Freed's sacrifice in vain. So who's with me? I'm going to search every cave and fight every monster in this place until I find her! Even if I have to risk everything to do it!"

'This is heart-wrenching. If Hiccup isn't careful one of those duel might have an end that affects us all,' said Heather to herself and then the pearl with the sadness symbol vanished.

'I don't know if we can duel our way out of this,' said Fishlegs to himself as he shook madly. Then the pearl with the doubt symbol vanished.

Agnar looked as if he was in pain and the pearl with the anguish vanished. Snotlout looked furious and the pearl the anger symbol vanished as well.

"This place just ain't right!" said Wartihog clenching his fist as the pearl with the hated symbol vanished.

Astrid and the others just looked at Hiccup who was now looking at the night sky.

'I'm going to find you Camicazi no matter what comes my way,' Hiccup promised himself.
