Back in the cove the Dragon Riders were getting their dragons to shoot fire to the pond to melt the ice so they could go with the original plan of just diving for it.

Problem was... the ice didn't seem like it wanted to melt.

"Ugh... This is taking forever..." Snotlout whined "And we're not getting anywhere."

"And who's fault is that Snotlout?" everyone answered back making him shut-up

"Besides it's only been like five minutes," Hiccup said but agreed with his cousin about not getting anywhere.

"Maybe someone should go find Jack so he could undo it himself," Rapunzel said rubbing her arms for heat.

"Yeah like Jack would want to see any of us at the moment Punzie," Merida said not one for the cold herself.

"But then how else are we meant to get the knife Merida?" Rapunzel asked getting everyone to see to reason.

"Fine..." Merida said slinging up her bow "I nominate Snotface to go looking for him..." she said pointing the arrow to the boys head.

"Second," Eugene said smirking.

"Third," Astrid said playing with her axe.

"Forth, Fifth," the Twins said not knowing why they were counting but loved the fact that it had something to do with Snotlout getting hurt.

"But I can't go look for him..." Snotlout said eyes on Merida's arrow "He'd turn me into an ice sculpture!"

"That's the chance you'll need to take for what you've done," Merida said still aiming her bow. "Now get moving!"

"But I... I don't know where he is," Snotlout said trying to find a way out.

"My guess, is he's up on the mountain somewhere," Fishlegs said adding his voice into this.

"I'd best get going if I were you Snotface," Merida said smirking.

Having seen how good the red head was with her bow, Snotlout didn't speak back, but he did sulk over to Hookfang and continued to as he took of for the mountain.

"Right with him out of our hair meaning he can't laugh at my assumptions... " Merida said lowering her bow and spinning around "I think I may know why Jack's been off today."

Shocking everyone stared confused but nodded to get her to continue.

"First of... Have any of you heard of Jokul Frosti?" Merida asked only getting reactions from Astrid, Fishlegs and Hiccup.

"Er... who?" Rapunzel, Eugene, and the Twins asked looking confused.

"Jokul Frosti is a... let's say meaner version of Jack Frost," Hiccup said trying to explain it. "We know... Well suppose to know him," he said looking to the Twins "Because he's one of the Gods in Norse mythology."

"The story is," Astrid took over "That Jokul Frosti is one of the sons of Kari, the deity and god of wind," she explained to the looks of confusion "Kari was the father of a numerous race, and his most powerful descendant was Jokul. Jokul ruled over a great empire in the far north ages ago."

"But unlike Jack Frost, Jokul isn't a trickster or a Guardian..." Fishlegs continued a worried look on his face "He's evil and he can be really violent. He does cause mischief once in awhile, but his idea of mischief is somewhat close to luring someone out in the deep snow in the winter and letting them freeze there and maybe helping a bit . And Jokul also doesn't have to be believed in to have power."

"He can also control snow and ride the winds," Merida added "Basically everything Jack can do they're just a bit nastier."

"But how did you know?" Rapunzel asked, clinging to Eugene's arm "And... And how did he get from Jack to Jokul?" she asked.

"I had my suspicious back at the Pole when my brothers hid from him as he came into the room," Merida said looking to everyone. "They see Jack Frost as an elder brother remember? Why would they hide from him unless something was off about him? As to 'How'... I have no idea. But I think this is something we need to tell to someone."

"Ok..." Hiccup said coming back around "Rapunzel, Eugene, you go back to the Pole and relay what we've just discovered as well as get warm," he said seeing them shiver a bit. "When Snotlout and Jack get back here to defreeze the lake, that is if Snotlout's not already turned to ice... We'll act like nothing's happened so if he is Jokul Frosti, he won't get suspicious. Got it?" he asked getting nods.

With that Rapunzel and Eugene threw the snowglobe and jumped through just as Hookfang, Snotlout and 'Jack' came back.

"Where'd Punzie and Eugene go?" Jokul asked confused.

"Back to the Pole to get warmed up a bit," Astrid said "Punzie should really start thinking about wearing some shoes when she goes out."

"Shoes are just a waste of time to make and money to buy," Jokul said rolling his eyes "Especially when there are mouths to feed instead."

"Anyway," Hiccup said placing a hand on Toothless to keep him back a bit "We were wondering if you could... you know defrost all this ice and snow so we can get to my knife at the bottom of the lake."

"Huh?" Jokul asked "Oh yeah sorry," he said holding his staff up "When I'm... upset my magic tends to go towards the forever-frost kind meaning absolutely nothing but me can melt it." Jokul said as everyone watched as all the snow and ice made their way to the crook of his staff looking like a glowing ball before it went away.

"Hey it's not ya fault Jack," Merida said looking to him, getting in close to whisper loudly "If anything it's Snotface's for making you that mad."

"Er... I can hear you, you know?" Snotlout said still on top of Hookfang.

"Yeah. And do you know I can shoot you right off that dragon?" Merida asked smirking.

"So who's going down there...?" Astrid asked looking into the water "Who can hold their breath the longest?"

"I can hold mine for three minutes," Ruffnut said saying it was because of living with Tuffnut.

"I don't think that will be long enough Ruff," Hiccup said before an argument broke out on who could hold their breath for longer.

"What if..." Jokul said thinking "We don't have to?" he said grinning.

"Er... then how do we get the dumb knife?" Tuffnut asked.

Rolling his eyes Jokul cursed how dumb these humans are. "In the time I've been around, I've made some friends here and there. Some of them were mermaids who have..."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa," Snotlout said cutting Jokul off "Mermaids? Seriously?"

"Says the boy on top of a Dragon?" Jack asked crossing his arms looking annoyed he was interrupted. "As I was saying... These mermaids have this special seaweed that can give the person who eats it the ability to breathe under water and in air for up to three hours. So all we need to do is go find them ask for the stuff and get it sorted." he said shrugging like it was no big deal.

Agreeing that there was no other way to get the knife they could think of, everyone got onto their dragons, Merida with Hiccup on Toothless and giving Jokul the Snowglobe trusting he wouldn't trick them, followed him through it.

At the Pole everyone, mostly the parents of the Four were starstruck at the news about Jack.

"We need to go find them and rescue our kids," Elinor said looking around for support.

"No!" Mother Nature said slightly scared "No not yet. Queen Elinor please you have to believe me that that could be one of the worse things we can do."

"Why?" Harris asked sucking his thumb next to his dad.

"Jokul Frosti is as we've already said, a darker version of Jack Frost," Mother Nature said "But whether he's Jack or Jokul... the one thing he hates is to be accused of being something he's not. And disrespected for it." she said looking to a nervous/guilty looking North, Tooth and Bunny an angry look on her face. "Yeah I'm talking to you three... Anyway, if we just rush in and say 'You're Jokul Frosti and you must be stopped' or something like that, he can either attack out of anger that we've either sussed it out or out of us accusing him for being Jokul if there's still Jack in him." she explained.

All this time Rapunzel and Eugene had been looking in Jack's room to see if they can find anything that told him how Jack got to be Jokul.

Running back in Rapunzel said "We didn't find out how he came to be Jokul Frosti, but we did find his Center Doll under a pillow and this in his bedside cabinet." she said revealing the tub of skin cream, making the Triplets look to each other worryingly only being spotted by Sandy.

'Do you three know why Jack has this?' Sandy asked in sand images taking the cream from the Princess and holding it to the boys who nodded not looking to anyone but Sandy.

"He... He said it was for his wrists," Hamish said speaking up "He said they'd been itchy since that man threw him against the wall in North office when they attacked this place."

"He said it was just a normal cream, and not to tell anyone." Hubert continued kicking his feet a bit.

"But why didn't he say anything?" Tooth asked confused hushing some fairies, one of which being Baby Tooth.

"Jack's... Not really one to put his pain out to people Tooth," Mother Nature said sighing "And he might still have some trust issues with you lot."

That brought everyone to remember the story of how Jack became a Guardian and what happened at Easter.

"So if you're suggesting we don't go and save the kids Miss," Richard began looking to Mother Nature "What do you suggest?"

"Wait." she said. "Wait for him to come out and reveal himself to us. This must be some form of a plan your enemies are putting together, to stop the Prophecy from happening... So there must be a second part to it."

Just then there came a beeping on the control panel under the Globe.

Going over to it North saw it was the snowglobe-the-kids-had's tracking device giving off a signal.

"What?" North asked himself and began typing in something.

"What's wrong North?" Stoick asked scared for Hiccup "What is it?"

"The globe we gave the kids," North said slowly "Say's they no longer on Earth. But it's still giving off signal so they must be alright..." he said to calm down the parents.

"But if there not on Earth..." Fergus began confused.

"Where are they?" Elinor asked.
