It in a few days ever since the party at the Royal Palace, but Hiccup and the others were not taking Lambert's threats lying down. They knew that they couldn't tell the King or anyone about the war, until they rescue their dragons unfortunately they had no idea what they were.

So they had been spending the past few days making wanted posters, though admittedly the twins believe that their posters were the best. Eventually Hiccup, Astrid, Ragnar and Heather made their way back into the house with a wanted posters they had created.

"We found a printer to make our posters," said Astrid.

The twins looking consulted upon seeing the posters.

"I thought that making the last dragon posters were our jobs," said Ruffnut gesturing to herself and brother.

"Yeah, we've been working all day on our Hookfang," said Tuffnut holding out a wanted poster of Hookfang.

Snotlout narrowed his eyes at the poster. "Guys, his horns are supposed to be on his head."

"This is his head," said Ruffnut looking insulted.

"Then why are their feet coming out of it?" Astrid asked.

"Those are his fangs," said Tuffnut.

Ragnar rolled his eyes. "No offence guys, but Hiccup and Fishlegs are the best drawers among us."

"So how about we stick with the professional version," said Heather.

Fishlegs then made his way into the house with a newspaper, but he was holding out a letter. "Guys, we've got a letter."

"Is it from the Jade Viper guys?" Snotlout grumbled.

"Actually, there's no address," Fishlegs frowned. "Just listen. 'Dear Avatar, I understand that you and your friends have made an enemy of Head Chancellor Lambert. If you wish to seek a friend to aid you in your quest to bring him down, please come to lower ring and follow the directions in this letter.'"

Astrid folding her arms. "Hmm. Could be a trap."

Hiccup sighed. "Maybe, but I wouldn't want to lose the chance of gaining an ally against Lambert."

"In that case I'm coming with you," said Astrid strongly. "While we are doing that you guys can distribute the posters."

They soon went their separate ways and Ragnar started distributing the posters by flying over the lower ring and dropping them down onto the streets. The others meanwhile were sticking the posters on walls on foot.

Hiccup and Astrid were following the directions in the letter until they found themselves in a dark alley.

"I don't like this," said Astrid looking over her shoulder. "It's the perfect place for an ambush."

"I know," Hiccup nodded. "Let's just hope that this ally is who they say they are."

"I most certainly am," said a voice.

The immediately turned around and saw a cloaked figure emerging from around the corner. They could tell that they were a woman of about 20 years, but they had no idea who they were beyond that.

"Who are you?" Astrid demanded.

The mysterious woman then raised her hood to reveal a beautiful flawless face with dark strawberry blonde hair. Hiccup also noted that she was wearing a tiara on their head.

"I am Princess Atali, daughter and heir to King Nadir," she said looking at them. "I apologise for the subterfuge, Avatar Hiccup, but I can't let the Chancellor know that I'm out of the Palace."

Hiccup looked at her stunned. "How do you know that I'm the Avatar?"

Atali smiled. "I saw a glimpse of you at the party and I spoke to a few of the guests mentioning your name. Again I must apologise for the way that Chancellor Lambert is acting, if my father knew… I can't believe that he hit the war from us with this long."

Astrid blinked. "You know about the war, I thought that Lambert was hiding it from the Royal family."

"He is," Atali nodded. "In fact he doesn't know that I know about it and I would like it to remain that way."

"But how?" Hiccup asked.

"Let's just say that I was a very curious teenager," said Atali. "I made of excursions into the lower ring, to get close to the common people. And that's when I noticed that the slums were getting overcrowded over the past years, I knew instantly that something was wrong."

Astrid looked partly impressed. "You mean you went into the slums alone. Excuse me Princess, but isn't that dangerous?"

Atali nodded. "I had a few close calls, but I was able to maintain my cover. Also I learned how to defend myself at a young age by my mother, she said that I could not just a on my personal guard that I needed to learn to defend myself."

"Dad always said that she was a wise Queen," Hiccup smiled.

"Anyway, I started making enquiries and that's when I discovered the horrible truth about the war and the fact that the Jade Vipers are trying to hush it up. I heard from people that the Jade Vipers showed up out of nowhere grabbing people who make too much noise about war and that they were never seen again."

Hiccup didn't look entirely surprised. "Guess all the rumours I heard about the marks through."

Atali sighed with disappointment. "I also know that the Chancellor is blackmailing you, but I want is let you know that you have a friend in the Royal Palace. If you make a move to tell the truth to my father I will support you."

"And that's all well and good, but we can't do anything until we find our dragons," said Hiccup gratefully. "I don't suppose you know where they are?"

Atali shook her head. "I wouldn't put it past Lambert to hide them in one of his secret bases. Unfortunately the so secret that I don't know, the well family isn't privy to what the Jade Vipers do on a daily basis. My father completes the Chancellor absolutely, he never questioned his decisions is not surprising considering he's been my father's advices and he was four years old."

Hiccup didn't look entirely surprised by this. "Well thanks for the help anyway."

Atali nodded as she put her hood over her head. "I best return back to the Palace before they realise vanished. I hope that we meet again Avatar Hiccup."

She then bowed and then walked off.

Astrid looked at Hiccup. "Is she who she says she is?"

Hiccup looked at her. "I don't know, I guess we just have to trust her."

Astrid groaned. "I hate this. Not knowing who we can trust in this city, the sooner we find our dragons the better."

Meanwhile Bjorn was serving tea at the tea shop and at the moment he was pouring tea for a couple of well-dressed officials from the upper ring. Upon drinking it, the three officials smiled and got out of their seats and approached Bjorn.

"So you're the genius behind this incredible brew," said one of the officials. "The whole city is buzzing about you, I hope Pal pays you well."

"Good to see is its own reward," said Bjorn.

"As it doesn't have to be the only reward. How would you like to have your own tea shop?"

"My own tea shop?" Bjorn gasped. "This is a dream come true."

Pal immediately approached them startled. "What's going on here?" he demanded and glared at the officials. "Are you trying to poach my tea maker?"

"Sorry Pal, but that's business for you, am I right?" the official smiled.

Pal was desperately to keep Bjorn in his employ. "Olaf, if you stay I'll… make you Assistant Manager—wait, Senior Assistant Manager."

"I'll provide you with a new apartment on the upper ring, the tea shop is for you to do whatever you want complete creative freedom," the official smiled.

"I even get to name the shop?" Bjorn asked.

The official smiled. "Of course."

Pal looked at Bjorn with a pleading look. "Senior Executive Manager?"

The choice was a no-brainer and Bjorn handed the teapot back to Pal and nodded to the official.

Bjorn then looked at Eret. "Did you hear nephew? This man wants to give us our own tea shop in the upper ring of the city."

"That's right young man," the official smiled. "Your life is about to change for the better."

"I'll try and contain my joy," said Eret slamming the tea tray on the table and walked out of the tea shop.

When he was outside, Eret leaned against the tea shop contemplating. Then suddenly falling out of the sky was one of Hiccup's posters and that's when Eret realise that Hiccup was in the city, he climbed up to the rooftops to see if he can see him or any of his friends, but there was no trace of any of them.

Meanwhile Hiccup and Astrid had returned back to the house and were playing Maces and Talons with one another. Fishlegs and his group returned a few moments later and now they were just waiting on Ragnar.

Ragnar then entered the house. "I just finished dropping all the leaflets," he said. "I don't suppose any of you have heard anything?"

"It's only been a day," said Astrid as she moved one of the pieces. "Just be patient."

That's when they heard a knock on the door.

Hiccup blinked. "I was expecting to hear from someone so soon."

Hiccup immediately got up and made his way over towards the door, but when he opened it he came face-to-face with Jade. Not the new Jade, but the old one, one that had disappeared during the party at the Royal Palace.

"Jade?" Hiccup blinked.

"Hello everyone," she said with a creepy smile.

"What happened to you? Did the Jade Vipers for you in jail?" Ragnar asked.

"What?" Jade blinked. "Jail? Of course not, the Jade Vipers are the protectors of our cultural heritage."

"Then explain your disappearance after the party at the Royal Palace then?" Astrid asked questionably.

"Oh, I simply took a short vacation to Lake Lance out in the country, it was quite relaxing," Jade smiled.

"But then they replaced you with some other woman whose also said that her name was Jade," said Heather confused.

"I'm Jade," Jake frowned.

"Why are you here?" Ragnar asked.

Jade then pulled out one of the posters they had handed out. "Handing out flyers and putting up posters, isn't permitted within the city. Not without proper clearance."

"We can't wait around to get permission for everything," said Fishlegs.

"You are absolutely forbidden by the rules of the city to continue putting up posters," said Jade as if she hadn't listened to a single word he said.

Hiccup then marched towards her. "We do not care about your rules and we are not asking for permission! We are finding our dragons on our own and you should just stay out of our way!" Hiccup roared literally fuming.

Hiccup then immediately slammed the door on her.

Snotlout whistled. "Remind me not to get on his bad side."

Ragnar sighed. "Looks like just made some new enemies."

"I don't care," said Hiccup strongly. "For now on we do whatever it takes to find our dragons!"

"Spoken like a true nut!" Tuffnut cheered.

"Yeah, let's break some rules!" Ruffnut cried.

They then exited the house and watching them leave were none other than Jade Viper agents.

Back at the Palace, in the library Lambert was not best pleased with the report that he received and was looking at Jade.

"I'm very disappointed in your work with the Avatar and his friends Jade," said Lambert bluntly. "I had hoped that you would be able to control the situation."

"I'm so sorry, but they don't trust me anymore," said Jade apologetically. "I don't think I can keep working like this…"

"Jade," said Lambert. "The Earth King invites you to Lake Lance."

Jaden immediately stopped her crying and had a hypnotic look at her face. "I am honoured to accept his invitation."

Lambert nodded. "Good. Now go and wait for further orders."

Jade exited through the great doors and Lambert turned to his agents.

"If the Avatar keep on searching for their dragons it could upset the delicate balance we have worked so hard to achieve in the city," said Lambert as he grabbed one of the scrolls on the table. "It could even cost us the control of over the Royal family."

"Should we take care of them?" an agent asked.

"No," said Lambert shaking his head. "It's much too dangerous for us to confront him directly. Let's see if we cannot handle this quietly."

Meanwhile Bjorn was packing their stuff in their apartment for their big move and then Eret entered the room.

"So I was thinking about names from my new tea shop," said Bjorn. "How about the Jasmine Dragon? It's dramatic, poetic… has a nice ring to it."

Eret then held out the poster he nabbed earlier. "The Avatar is here in Meridian and he and his friends have lost their dragons."

Bjorn then took the poster and looked at him. "We have a chance for a new life here. If you start staring up trouble, we could lose all the good things that are happening for us."

Eret immediately turned at him. "Good things are happening for you! Have you ever thought then I want more from life, then a nice apartment and a job serving tea."

"There is nothing wrong with a life of peace and prosperity, the previous Emperor taught me that," said Bjorn sadly. "I suggest you think about what it is that you want from your life and why."

"I want my destiny," said Eret looking out of the window.

"What that means is up to you."

Eret then just walked off and Bjorn shook his head.

Meanwhile, Hiccup and the others were sticking the posters across the lower ring.

"I suggest that we split up to note the cover more area," Hiccup advised.

They all nodded and went their separate ways.

Heather was pasting posters at a Plaza with a small river running through it.

"Heather," said a very familiar voice.

Heather turned in her eyes widened, because standing there was none other than Jet.

"I think I can help you," he said approaching her.

Heather immediately narrowed her eyes and immediately raised the water out of the river directly towards him.

"Heather, I've changed!" Jet panicked.

Heather was not listening and struck him with a powerful wave and he was sent flying down into an alleyway. Heather then immediately rushed towards him and lifted some water into palm.

"Tell it to some other girl," she spat.

She then immediately froze the water and send icicles directly towards Jet. They probably would have secured him a jet head and pulled out his blade and began smashing through them. However, he barely had time to gain his balance and the impact of the blows caused him to fall over.

Jet picked himself up and looked at her. "I don't want to fight you! I'm here to help!"

He then dropped his blades and Heather looked at him for brief second. He then immediately began to reach for something behind his back and Heather then suddenly fired several icicles pinning him to the wall.

There was a moment that Hiccup and the others arrived after hearing the commotion.

"Heather what's the matter?" Astrid asked.

"Jet is back," she said coldly. She then glared directly at Jet. "We can't trust anything Jet says!"

"But we don't even know why he's here," Fishlegs pointed out.

"I don't care why he's here!" Heather snapped. "Whatever the reason it can't be good."

"I'm here to help you find the dragons," said Jet and that's when they noticed in his hand was one of their posters.

Hiccup looked at Heather. "Heather, we've got to give him a chance."

Jet looked at Heather apologetically. "Heather, I've changed. I was a troubled person and I let my anger get out of control, but I don't even have the gang now. I have put all of that behind me."

"You're lying!" Heather glared.

Snotlout then stepped forward. "He's not lying."

"And how can you tell?" Astrid asked questionably.

"Ever since I've opened my mind, I can tell when someone is lying or not," said Snotlout looking back at them. "I've discovered that I can listening to the breathing and heartbeat, when people lie there is a physical reaction. He's telling the truth."

Ragnar looked at Heather. "Heather, we don't have any leads. If Jet says he can take us to our dragons, we have to check it out."

Heather looked them all and closed her eyes. "All right." She then immediately glared at Jet. "But we're not letting you out a site!"

Jet then led them to a warehouse.

"This is the place I heard about," said Jet as they entered.

However when the engine they found the place was completely deserted.

"There's nothing here," said Hiccup.

Heather immediately turned to Jet. "If this is a trap—"

"I told you I work nearby!" Jet reminded. "Two guys were talking about acquiring different breeds of dragons. They mentioned one had black scales, I thought that one would be Toothless."

"They were definitely here," said Astrid holding out a barb. "This is one of Stormfly's barbs, I would recognise it anywhere."

"And I found the black scale," said Hiccup holding out a black scale to everyone. "We've obviously missed them."

That's when they saw an old man sweeping the warehouse.

"They took those big dragons yesterday," he said. "Ship them out to some island, about time. I've been cleaning up various… leavings all day."

Hiccup looked at him. "What island?"

"Foreman said some royal-type on Whale Tail Island bought them up. I guess for a zoo or something."

Hiccup looked at the others. "We need to get to Whale Tail Island, if we knew where was."

Fishlegs pulled out a map and groaned. "It's very far away." He then put the map on the ground and pointed near to the South Pole. "It's near the South Pole, almost all the way back to Heather and the twins home."

Heather looked at Hiccup. "Hiccup it's going to take us weeks just to get to the tip of the Earth Kingdom, then we'll need to find a boat to get to the island."

"I know, but I want to see our dragons again we have to go," Hiccup sighed.

"Must be nice to visit an island," said the old man as he swept. "I haven't had a vacation for years."

Astrid narrowed her eyes. "Don't you have some sweeping to do elsewhere?"

"Shuffle on, I get ya," the old man sighed.

Astrid then looked at Hiccup." You're right Hiccup, we can't abandon them."

"In that case let's go," said Ragnar.

"I'll come with you," said Jet as they walked off.

Heather narrowed her eyes. "We don't need your help."

"Why would you trust me?" Jet asked.

Astrid looked at him. "Let's see, you played with her feelings, you tried to murder an entire village and you threatened me on the pain of death."

Jet just remained quiet.

Soon they were making their way through the marketplace towards the nearest train station.

"We can take a train up to the wall, but then we'll have to walk," said Ragnar.

"On the bright side we should be able to fly back on our dragons on the way back," said Fishlegs positively.

Hiccup frowned. "Make you wonder the Lambert has something to do with this, to keep it out of his hair for a while."

Astrid nodded. "I wouldn't put it past him."

"Jet!" a voice cried.

The immediately turned and stared when they saw Smellerbee and Longshot appearing out of nowhere.

Heather immediately narrowed her eyes at Jet. "I thought you said you didn't have your gang anymore?"

"I don't?" said Jet stunned.

Smellerbee then hugged him. "We were so worried. How did you get away from the Jade Vipers?"

Heather's eyes widened in shock horror. "The Jade Vipers?"

Jet immediately pulled away from Smellerbee. "Don't know what she's talking about."

"He got arrested by Jade Vipers a couple of days ago," said Smellerbee. She then gestured to herself and Longshot. "We saw them dragging him away."

"Why would I be arrested?" Jet frowned. "I've been living peacefully in the city."

Snotlout had placed a hand on the ground and looked immensely confused. "This doesn't make any sense, they are both telling the truth."

"That's impossible," said Heather.

"No it's not," said Ragnar. "Snotlout cannot tell who is lying, because they both think they're telling the truth. Jet has obviously been hypnotised, I had a suspicion when Jade reappeared and when we saw the second Jade."

"That's crazy," said Jet looking at them with a twinge of fear. "It can't be! Stay away from me!"

However they ignored his pleas and got closer towards him.

Late at night, a Jade Viper was walking down the streets of the lower ring and that's when Eret, dressed as the Dragon Spirit, pushed past him.

"Out of my way skinny," he said as he shoved the Jade Viper.

The Jade Viper narrowed his eyes at him and watched as he ran down the alleyway and immediately followed him. He then saw Eret standing in the alleyway and propelled one of his stone fists towards him. He then clutched his hand making it into a fist and it went straight through his chest, the Jade Viper then immediately fired his other stonefaced towards his head and came off.

It only took the Jade Vipers seconds to realise that it was a dummy and seconds later he found swords being pressed against his throat.

"If you don't want to end up like him, you'll do what I say," said Eret threateningly.

Hiccup and the others immediately took Jet back to the apartment where Smellerbee and Longshot was staying. Now all them were looking directly at Jet, who was sweating in buckets.

"The Jade Vipers must've sent Jet to mislead us and that janitor was part of their plot too," Heather concluded.

"A good thing the Jade Vipers didn't count on Smellerbee and Longshot showing up," Ragnar nodded. "Or else we would have been on a wild goose chase."

"There's a strong chance they still have are dragons in the city," Hiccup concluded. "And more than likely they're in the same place where they kept Jet." He then looked at Jet. "Where did they take you?"

"Nowhere," said Jet completely confused. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Their hypnotism must be quite strong," said Ragnar as he leaned over towards Jet.

"You have any way to snap him out of it?" Fishlegs asked.

"The only thing I can think of is a great shock," said Ragnar looking at them.

"Maybe Heather can kiss, that'll bring it back," Ruffnut smirked.

Heather narrowed her eyes at her. "If you have any sensible ideas please keep them to yourself."

"What we need is something from his past trigger his emotions," said Ragnar.

"The Empire… remember what they did to your family," said Smellerbee.

Ragnar looked at him. "Close your eyes, picture it in your mind's eye."

Jet closed his eyes and immediately he began to remember his village burning, people screaming as the Rough Rumblehorns torched everything in sight.

"No!" he said shaking his head. "It's too painful."

"Maybe this will help," said Heather as she bended her water out of her gourd.

She then made her way behind Jet and placed the water on either side of his head. Jet then found the entire room disappeared and he was standing on a lake and in front of him was Lambert. He then sank beneath the waters and found himself in a selection of tunnels and saw himself been hypnotised by a Jade Viper.

"They took me to their headquarters under the water," he said looking at them. "Like what lake."

Astrid looked up. "Wait, remember what Jade said? She said that she went on vacation near Lake Lance."

"That's it! Lake Lance!" Jet announced.

The next morning they made their way to Lake Lance, he was a large lake that was located between the outer wall and the inner wall.

"So where is this secret headquarters?" Astrid asked looking at Jet.

"Under the water I think," said Jet.

"There's a tunnel right then near the shore," Snotlout informed them.

He then began to make his way towards the shore and then slammed his foot into the ground suddenly they saw chunk of earth rising out of the water. They then found a surplus stone at the very edge and it was clearly carved by human hands.

Snotlout then bended the slab to one side and that's when they saw a ladder leading deeper underground.

They immediately began to descend and found a network of tunnels, they hanged back to allow Jade Vipers to walk past. If nothing else their presence proved that this was their headquarters, once they were gone Jet began to lead them down the passageway.

"It's all starting to come back to me," said Jet.

They began creeping around and that's when they saw a door is ajar, they looked in and saw a Jade Viper facing against several women wearing the same uniform as Jade.

"I am Jade, welcome to Meridian," said the Jade Viper.

"I am Jade, welcome to Meridian," the woman repeated.

"We are so lucky to have all walls to create order," the Jade Viper continued.

"We are so lucky to have all walls to create order," the woman repeated again.

"Creepy," Ruffnut whispered as they kept on walking.

"I think there was a cell big enough to hold your dragons up ahead," said Jet.

Jet then led them towards the door and looked at them.

"I think it's through here," he said.

Toothless and the other dragons were inside a very large room shackled to the ground. Then suddenly they saw the door open, but standing there was not Hiccup or any of the others but instead was Eret.

"Expecting someone else?" he asked.

He then immediately drew his sword and made his way towards the dragons.

Jet opened the door and while they did find a large room, there is no trace of any dragons. When they made their way into the centre of the room the door behind them suddenly closed by itself and then the entire room lit up. They looked up and saw Jade Vipers hanging from hooks on the ceiling.

"Something tells me they're expecting us," said Ragnar.

Lambert's then appeared narrowing his eyes at them. "You have made yourself enemies of the state." He then looked at his men. "Take them into custody."

Immediately following from the ceiling were the Jade Vipers and immediately they trusted their stone fists towards them. Snotlout immediately stepped forward and crushed his wrist turning the stone fists to dust, he then spread his hands outwards and not to the two Jade Vipers in front of him aside with columns of earth erupting from beneath them.

Jet immediately charged towards two Jade Vipers and they immediately thrusted their stone fists towards him. However, he just simply sliced through them with his blades and skidded over towards one and hooked his hook around his leg. Then with one good jerk the Jade Viper fell to the ground hard.

Hiccup and the others began to engage the Jade Vipers while Lambert just watched. Hiccup in particular was proving quite difficult to take down as he knocked one Jade Viper back with a powerful fire burst and then looked at the ground beneath another sending him flying.

Lambert's eyes then turned towards two Jade Vipers you thrusted their stone fists towards them. Heather immediately drew out her water and sliced through one of the fists and Astrid smashed through one with her axe. However two of the fists grabbed the helm of their shirts and dragged them towards them, but Ragnar landed in front of them and created a wind wall to stop them.

The Jade Vipers immediately thrusted their feet forward sending bursts of earth towards him, but he merely jumped into the air avoiding the attack completely. The Jade Vipers immediately raised ground beneath them to follow him and two other Vipers ran across the wall and send columns of earth towards him. Ragnar quickly blew away the two Vipers with his staff and spun in the air to avoid getting crushed by the two columns and immediately sent the two Vipers back running across it with an air blast from each palm.

However Jade Viper managed to grasp the back of his shirt with one of his stone fists and then pulled him towards him, but then came flying in. Somehow he managed to hook his hook on a hook and swung down and managed to hook Ragnar pulling him away from the Viper.

The Viper then immediately thrusted his leg forward sending the stone foot towards him, but Longshot appeared between Jet and the stone foot and fired an arrow. The arrow soared through the air and crushed the stone foot upon contact. The Jade Viper then attempted to strike him with a stone fist, but Jet rolled off his back and crushed the stone fists with his blades. Another two Vipers then landed in front of him and by their stone fists, but Jet skilfully sliced through them with his blades.

Lambert could tell that the fight was not going his way immediately made a run for it.

Hiccup then landed in front of Jet and unleashed a powerful burst of flames that pushed the bikers backwards.

"Lambert is escaping!" Hiccup yelled.

Hiccup, Ragnar and Jet then immediately dashed after Lambert. Two Vipers attempted to chase after them, but Snotlout created columns of earth blocking their path. Hiccup then slammed his fist on the door shattering it to pieces and they soon found themselves running down the corridor as quickly as they could after Lambert.

Eventually they found themselves in another room with water from nearby pipes pouring into a basin and Lambert had completely vanished. Suddenly the entrance behind them immediately closed and they turned and found Lambert dropping out of thin air.

"All right Avatar you have caused me enough problems, this is your last chance," Lambert warned. "If you want your dragons back."

Hiccup narrowed his eyes. "So you do have them. Tell me where they are?"

"Agreed to exit the city now and I'll wave all charges against you and allow you to leave you with your lost pets," Lambert offered.

Ragnar narrowed his eyes. "And allow you to play puppet with the Earth King and allow you to keep play make-believe in thinking that you're safe? The Empire has already burst through the outer wall two times, and was pure dumb luck that you are able to repel them."

"Besides, you're in no position to bargain," said Jet raising his blades.

"Am I not?" Lambert smirked.

"We have you outnumbered," said Hiccup as he drew his blade. "And one of us is able to use all four elements."

Lambert's gaze then turned towards Jet. "Jet, the Earth Kingdom has invited you to Lake Lance."

Jet's eyes then became distant. "I am honoured to accept his invitation."

Suddenly he spun around swinging his blade towards Hiccup and Ragnar, thankfully the two of them managed to avoid getting their heads sliced off. Jet then came charging towards them with his blades held high.

Meanwhile Toothless and the other dragons were growling at Eret, but that was all they could really do. Their mouths had been muzzled and Stormfly and Windshear had their tails bound preventing them from using them.

"Your mind now," said Eret looking directly at Toothless.

The doors and opened in Eret immediately turned and raised his blades. However, he was surprised to see that he was not facing a Jade Viper, but his uncle.

"Uncle?" Eret stared.

"So the Dragon Spirit… I wonder who it could be behind that mask?" said Bjorn rubbing his beard.

Eret sighed and removed his mask. "What are you doing here?"

"I was just about to ask you the same thing," said Bjorn. "What do you plan to do now that you've found the Avatar and his friends dragons? Keep them locked in a new apartment, should I put a pot of tea for them?"

"First of I'm only after the Night Fury, secondly I have to get it out of here," said Eret.

"And then what?" Bjorn yelled. "You never think these things through! This is exactly what happened when you capture the Avatar at the North Pole! You had him and then you had nowhere to go!"

"I would have figured something out!" Eret retorted.

"No! It his friends haven't found you, you would have frozen to death!" Bjorn snapped.

Eret turned his back on him. "I know my own destiny, uncle."

"Is it your own destiny or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you?"

Eret turned back at him and narrowed his eyes. "Stop it uncle! I have to do it!"

"I'm begging you, Eret! It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions!" Bjorn yelled. "Who are you? And what do you want?"

Eret yelled in frustration as he tossed his swords and mask to the ground.

Meanwhile Hiccup and Ragnar was still trying to fend Jet off as he was attacking them in a mad frenzy. Jet has quickly managed to disarm both Hiccup and Ragnar and the two boys were reluctant to attack him.

"Jet it's us Hiccup and Ragnar!" Hiccup yelled as he backed away from Jet.

"You don't have to do this," said Ragnar as he found himself being back towards the corner.

"I'm afraid he no longer has a choice," Lambert smiled.

Jet kept on swinging his blade at Hiccup and Ragnar, the two of them kept on dodging each and every swing. Jet then charged towards them, but Ragnar pushed him with a powerful air palm and he was barely able to hold his ground by impaling the ground with his blades.

Hiccup looked at him. "Jet, we're are your friends. Look inside your heart."

"Do your duty, Jet," said Lambert forcefully.

Jet then began to advance towards them.

Ragnar looked at him pleadingly. "Jet, he can't make you do this. You're a Freedom Fighter."

Images then began to rush into Jet's head, images of all his Freedom Fighters, the images that he met Hiccup and the others, the time that he spends with Heather and finally everything that happened to him on his journey to Meridian. Suddenly his eyes returned back to normal and he felt like himself again.

"Do it! Do it now!" Lambert commanded.

Jet then immediately spun around and tossed one of his blades towards Lambert. Lambert sidestepped to avoid the blade and then thrusted his hands forward unleashing a burst of earth directly at Jet. There was no time to dodge and Jet took the full brunt of the attack and he fell to the ground unable to move.

Hiccup and Ragnar just stared at his body horrified and then immediately rushed over towards him.

Lambert then create a column of earth and extended it into it reached one of the pipes. He climbed into it and looked back down at Jet with extreme disappointment.

"Foolish boy, you've chosen your own demise," he said and walked off.

Jet was still conscious, but he was in bad shape and he turned his head and looked at them. "I'm sorry guys."

"Don't be," said Hiccup.

The entrance then slid open and then approaching them were Astrid and the others. The first thing they saw was Jet on the ground and immediately rushed over towards them.

Heather didn't waste any time with playing out water from her gourd and covered her hands with it. The water then began to glow when she placed it on Jet's chest and could immediately tell that he was suffering from internal bleeding and several broken ribs.

"This isn't good," she said.

"You guys go and find your dragons, we'll take care of Jet," said Smellerbee.

"We are not going to leave you," said Heather.

"There's no time," said Longshot, shocking everyone as this was the first time he spoken. "Just go, we will take care of him. He's our leader."

"Don't worry Heather, I'll be fine," Jet assured and smiled at her.

With that Hiccup and the others began to leave, but each and every one of them knew that he was lying.

"He's lying," said Snotlout sadly.

Smellerbee was in tears and Longshot watched as Snotlout created an exit and soon vanished into the tunnel. He then turns attention onto the entrance raising his bow and arrow, preparing himself for any unwanted company.

Hiccup and the others began to search through the entire complex, until they found a room that was large enough for their dragons. However, when they entered they found the place was completely empty and all those inside of it were shackles and muzzles.

"They're gone," said Hiccup.

"Lambert beat us here," said Ragnar clenching his fist.

"If we keep moving maybe we can catch up with them," Astrid suggested.

They didn't waste any time and immediately left the room.

On the surface, a walk emerged out of the lake and then suddenly the stone slab on it shoot out. Suddenly emerging from the hole inside of it was Hiccup and the others and they began running down the coast in the hopes to chase down Lambert.

They turned and saw Jade Vipers were also emerging out of the tunnel they had exited from and were chasing them down.

"You think we can outrun them?" Fishlegs asked.

"I don't think it's going to matter," said Hiccup.

Hiccup was right, because blocking their path was Lambert and more Jade Vipers and on the cliff wall were more Jade Vipers. They were completely surrounded and once they were boxed in the Jade Vipers immediately erected walls of earth in front and behind.

Hiccup and the others prepared for site, but then they heard a strange sound from above. Hiccup's eyes widened as he recognised that sound anywhere.

"Get down!" he yelled.

Seconds later there was a large explosion that destroyed the walls that had been erected and that's when they saw final smoke was none other than Toothless. He wasn't alone as the other dragons were charging in, Skull slammed his tail in the cliff, Windshear sliced it with her tail and Stormfly fired several spines knocking the Jade Vipers of the cliff. Barf and Belch flew down unleashing gas directly behind and that was ignited by both Meatlug and Hookfang.

The Jade Vipers were broken and immediately retreated, but Lambert still believed he stood a chance. Toothless then landed directly in front of him growling at him with his razor sharp teeth.

"I handle you by myself," said Lambert as he took on a fighting position.

Lambert was about to slammed his foot into the ground, but Toothless courses at the last possible second. He then immediately tossed it with all his strength and they saw Lambert been tossed over the lake like a stone.

Hiccup and the others didn't waste any time rushing over to their dragons and gave them big hugs.

Hiccup was practically crying into Toothless' shoulder. "I missed you, Bud."

They soon mounted their dragons and took off, but Heather couldn't help but look back thinking about Jet.

Eret and Bjorn then exited through the entrance where Hiccup and the others had entered.

"You did the right thing nephew," said Bjorn proudly. Eret pulled out his mask and looked at it and Bjorn put a hand on his shoulder. "Leave it behind."

Jet then tossed the mask into the lake and it sank into the water.
