Within Perona's Wonder Garden, the dog-faced penguin was overpowering the Wild Zombies. He'd already taken out a few with some powerful kicks, then when the panda zombie swung his spiked ball and chain, he was able to split into one single kick.
"Hey, why are you trying to pull here, newbie?"
"Our master's orders are absolute, we zombies could oppose them even if we try, but that doesn't affect him at all! What makes him different?"
"And wait, why is he as strong as a general?"
"My honour is what gives me strength," said the penguin. "I shall keep on fighting until I cannot move anymore."
"I'm not exactly sure this works, but that has to be Ragnar," Astrid whispered to the others.
"You're right," said Chopper.
"Hey, Ragnar, is that really you in there or maybe your friend with Ragnar?" Snotlout asked. "Either way, he's our friend, so—"
"Will you be quiet," said the penguin looking at him rather annoyed. "I would be defending her at all if you guys weren't incapable of protecting her."
"That's a little harsh," said Snotlout.
Fishlegs frowned. "I don't think that penguin is actually Ragnar, but somehow it has his personality."
Before they could ponder any further, they heard the sounds of trees falling behind them.
"What's that?" Snotlout asked.
"I don't know, but it sounds big," said Chopper.
"What now?" Fishlegs groaned.
Then suddenly, exiting the forest, was Lola with Absalom chasing after her.
"Lola, stop!" Absalom yelled.
"A warthog in a wedding dress?" they blinked.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but that's the strangest thing we've seen today," said Astrid.
"Don't be hasty!" Absalom yelled. "Please, listen to your commander, Lola!"
Lola merely giggled. "Catch me if you can, you little cutie."
"Listen, you beast! I'm ordering you to stop!" Absalom roared.
"Well, if you insist, then I guess I can… if you what made that bad then…" She then suddenly turned around and began dashing towards him, much to his horror.
He watched as she suddenly launched herself into the air. "Bridal Martial Arts: Embrace of Your Princess!"
"Please, no!" Absalom begged.
Lola then crashed into her, and everyone, even the Wild Zombies'stopped what they were doing to watch.
When Absalom opened his eyes, he found himself pinned to the ground by Lola.
"Now that I have you where I want you, I want a taste of your sweet sugar," she said longingly.
"This isn't right, Lola; I'm engaged!" said a panicked Absalom. "Remember I already told you that I found the woman I going to marry."
"Sorry, I can't hear you," said Lola innocently. "Did you say that you want to marry me?"
She then moved with blinding speed to deliver a kiss, but Absalom moved his head at the last second. A good thing, too, because there was a little imprint on the ground where his head had been just a second ago.
"You monster! Are you trying to kiss me or maul my face off!" Absalom yelled.
"Well, don't mind if I do," Lola smiled.
"You're not listening to me at all!"
"Mark of the Queen!"
Lola then began to deal more than devastated kisses forcing Absalom to move his head incredibly fast to avoid them.
Everyone just stared and watched, still trying to figure out what was going on.
"So, are they friends or enemies?" Snotlout frowned.
"Frenemies?" Chopper suggested.
"Whatever the I've got no idea what's going on here," said Fishlegs.
"I don't think any of us do," said Astrid and all the zombies nodded in agreement.
Miraculously, Absalom managed to avoid all the kisses, leaving the ground beneath them listed with kiss imprints.
"You don't give up," said Lola looking a little worn out.
"Same to you," Absalom panted.
"Then let's get married."
"Can you be any more dense?!"
"Surprised, Kiss!" Lola yelled, attempting to kiss him once again.
"All right, that's enough; you've made me mad!" Absalom yelled, finally freeing his hands.
He then kicked her as hard as he could in the chest, sending her flying, but she ended up falling straight towards Astrid. The moment she hit the ground, there was a massive cloud of dust.
"What?" said Astrid confused.
"You wicked harlot!" Lola growled as her eyes fell upon Astrid. "You'll for stealing Master Ab's greatest treasure!"
"Astrid!" Fishlegs and the others yelled.
"Ahhh, she found her!" Absalom panicked.
"Me? Treasure?" Astrid blinked, even more confused. "Hold on, I know I'm a pirate and all, but I haven't stolen a single thing yet."
"You stole his heart!" said Lola as she raised her axe. "And now I'm going to tear yours out of your chest!"
"Watch out?" Chopper yelled.
"Astrid, run!" Snotlout yelled.
"It's too late!" Fishlegs panicked.
Lola then swung her axe down at her, but then jumping in to save her was the dog penguin. He quickly kicked the battleaxe, causing it to snap upon impact.
"You won't lay a hand on this lady," he vowed.
However, when his eyes fell upon Lola, he immediately lowered his guard.
"Shut your mouth," said Lola and raised hoof. "And get out of my way!"
"Dogin!" Fishlegs yelled.
"Penog!" Snotlout yelled.
Lola then struck the zombie penguin sending him flying straight into a wall.
"That looks bad," said Fishlegs.
"Are you okay?" Chopper asked.
"Why didn't he try to fight back?" Snotlout frowned.
"I already told you," said the penguin as he got back up, though very shaken. "Even if it kills me, I'll never kick a woman."
Chopper and Snotlout then immediately applauded.
"Awesome speech," said Chopper.
"And I've got to admit, you're a true gentleman to see that thing is a woman," said Snotlout.
Lola glared at him. "What did you say?"
Fishlegs looked around and noticed Astrid had disappeared. "Hey, where's Astrid gone?"
They then heard Astrid's screams. "Guys, help me!"
They turned, and to their amazement, they saw that Astrid was hovering in midair, flying away from them.
"I'll be taking my bride, thank you," said Absalom.
"Astrid, you can fly?" Chopper and Snotlout stared in amazement. "Awesome!"
"Idiots! I've been abducted here!" Astrid yelled.
"By who?" Chopper asked.
"Don't just stand there; we've got to help her!" Fishlegs yelled as he began chasing after Astrid.
Snotlout and Chopper quickly followed suit.
"We'll hold the wedding ceremony immediately," said Absalom. "All the preparations have already been made."
"You're that invisible pervert from the shower, aren't you?!" Astrid yelled furiously as she tried to break free from his grip. "You better let me go, or else feel the consequences!"
"I guess he really is invisible, huh?" said Snotlout.
"This guy must be very desperate if he's forced to abduct women," said Fishlegs.
"Astrid!" Chopper cried.
'This is just like last time,' said Astrid angrily, remembering the incident in the bathroom. 'Who is this guy?'
"I was sizing you up," said Absalom as if reading her mind and then slowly became visible. "In short, I have determined that you're fit to be my bride. You may call me Absalom; it is the name of your future husband, so remember it well."
Astrid glared at him furiously. "You got a lot of nerve looking at me naked and acting like you own me! I don't keep myself in shape, so some sick boy can drool over me, so don't treat me like a piece of meat, you animal! Valkyrie Lightning!"
Then suddenly, electricity shot out of her body and struck Absalom, electrocuting him. A split second later, there was a small explosion that sent Astrid flying onto the ground.
"Whoa, what was that?" Snotlout said as he and the others rushed over to her.
"Did you just shoot lightning out of your body?" Fishlegs asked.
"I don't really understand it myself," Astrid admitted as she got up. "But for some reason, my body is easily able to store electricity in itself and unleash it. I've been spending quite a bit of time mastering it."
"Well, I say you got it down," said Snotlout.
"Not quite. He still standing," Astrid pointed, and sure enough, Absalom just stood there in some sort of daze.
"Never mind that we got a keep running and get out of this forest," said Fishlegs picking Astrid up.
"I'm amazed that he's still able to stand after that," said Astrid looking back at Absalom.
"That guy is not normal; I mean, just look at him," said Snotlout.
Absalom just stood there in shock. 'What is this feeling? Every nerve in my body is dancing; I'm on fire. I can feel it coursing through my veins as if I've been struck by lightning. I see there can only be only one answer; this must be… love.'
Lola then ran past him, chasing after Astrid once again. "You're not getting away!"
The Wild Zombies had been standing there for quite some time.
"We've got to stop staring and start moving! Even if Absalom's here, it is still our job to catch them!"
"Ah, you're right! And if we fail, Perona's going to punish us!"
"We can't mess this up again!"
"Yeah, we need a game plan!"
The dog penguin slowly got up, but he was barely able to move. "Not good; at this rate, they're going to hurt her. I don't know why it is, but I feel as if I have to protect that lady no matter what, not for myself but for someone else."
He then suddenly winced in pain. "Why is this body so weak? I can't even take a single step."
The Wild Zombies then immediately ran past Absalom.
"Move it, you guys; we've got to catch up!"
"Stop and heed my words, Wild Zombies!" Absalom barked. "The woman is mine. Do not harm her!"
"Shut up, screw you, Pervsalom!"
"You can't boss us around! We only answer to Mistress Perona! This is out of your jurisdiction! Stay out of our way!"
"We don't need you, loser! Go look at your girly magazs!"
"We can handle this!"
"I said stop, damnit!" Absalom roared furiously in the Wild Zombies immediately stopped in their tracks. "I am not a fool; I know that you're under Perona's command, but if you have the sense to fear her, then you should know how Bible I can be as well. In other words, mind your tongue when you speak to me. You understand?"
All the zombies just looked at him in fear, except one, the dog penguin, who waddled his way forward.
"What the hell do you want?" Absalom growled.
"I won't let you touch that lady," he said defiantly.
"What did you say?" Absalom growled.
"Hey, newbie! Cut it out, man."
"Absalom's mad enough already."
The dog penguin just continued to stand there defiant, and Absalom raised his hand, much to the horror of the zombies.
"No! Not that!"
"Here it comes!"
Then some sort of invisible force struck the dog penguin sending him flying across the field so fast that it created a shockwave that sent the other zombies flying. He went straight through tree after tree until he collided with a wall.
"I warned you didn't I," Absalom growled. "Mind your tongue."
The dog penguin then collapsed to the ground, now unconscious.
Astrid and the others, meanwhile, were running away from Lola, who looked dead set on killing Astrid.
"Get back, you hussy!" Lola roared.
"Astrid, I think she's only after you?" Fishlegs observed.
"I know, but I don't know why?" said Astrid.
"So, I was thinking," said Snotlout slowly. "Maybe we can just split up."
Astrid then punched him hard on the head. "Selling me out, you heartless bastard?"
"Get back here and die already!" Lola yelled.
"Women are scary!" Chopper cried.
"You'll have to run faster than that!" said Astrid, who immediately picked up the pace.
She was now running faster than the boys, much to their distress.
"Slow down, Astrid!" Chopper cried.
"You're using us as a shield, aren't you?" Snotlout yelled.
"No, she wouldn't do that," said Fishlegs.
They turned around and saw Lola was almost upon them, and they picked up the pace. Unfortunately, they were so busy running they weren't concentrating on anything else and tripped over a tree root.
'That's it, I'm done for,' said Chopper as they fell to the ground.
'So long, everyone; it was nice knowing you,' said Snotlout.
'Goodbye, cruel world,' said Fishlegs.
They then hit the ground, but Lola completely ignored them and continued chasing after Astrid.
"I'll brutalise you!" she yelled.
"Huh, we're not dead after all," said Snotlout as he looked up.
"You mean she's gone?" said Chopper.
"I guess she really was just after Astrid," said Fishlegs.
They gave up a sigh of relief. "Aw, that's great. What a relief."
It took a few moments to realise that Astrid was now in danger.
"Oh crap, Astrid!" they screamed.
Astrid was still running as fast as she could, but Lola was faster and soon caught up with her.
Chopper transformed into animal form, and Snotlout got on his back because, sadly, he was unable to carry two people, especially someone as large as Fishlegs.
"Okay, Chopper, full speed ahead!" said Snotlout.
"Right!" Chopper nodded.
"You two go on ahead. I'll catch up as soon as I can!" said Fishlegs.
"Tally Ho!" Snotlout yelled, and Chopper galloped off.
Lola swung her blade down towards Astrid, and she barely had time to deflect it with her broken sword. She then began jumping around her, trying to avoid her slashes.
"Give back my husband!" Lola roared.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Astrid yelled as he blocked yet another blow.
"Astrid!" Snotlout yelled.
Astrid looked up and saw Snotlout and Chopper, who was in his human form, grabbing hold of Lola from either side.
"You big pink eyesore!" Snotlout yelled.
"Leave her alone!" Chopper yelled.
"Get out of here, Astrid!" Snotlout yelled.
Astrid then continued to run while the two of them tried to hold Lola, but she was just too strong for them.
"Love stops for nothing!" Lola yelled.
Meanwhile, Heather and the others found themselves surrounded with a giant spider monkey in front of them and the Zombie Generals behind closing in on them.
"I see…" said Eret looking at the spider monkey. "So that's what happened to them. You captured our crewmates, didn't you? And carried them behind that wall like our captain."
"Monkey, monkey, monkey," the spider monkey laughed. "That's correct, and just wait because any second now, you'll be suffering the same fate. Zombie Generals in the front and Zombie Generals behind, I'd give up if I were you."
"Whether you're a dumbass monkey or dumbass spider, it looks like that big sticky web that caught the Night Fury on our way here was your work, if I'm not mistaken. In other words, you are after us right from the beginning; that must mean you had us under watch, huh?"
The spider monkey laughed. "Yep, when on Breakneck Bog, there is no hiding. Mistress Perona's ghost network sees all, knows all and tells all. Frankly, you were doomed from the start.
"Those big ears of yours must be useful for gathering information, too, and you certainly like to run your mouth," Heather observed.
The spider monkey just looked at them and then placed his hand against his ear. "Sorry, what was that?"
"You mean they're just a show?" Ruffnut snapped.
Tuffnut then looked to the advancing Zombie Generals. "I think we got other problems."
"Yeah, I got it," he said as he turned around to look at them. "We're completely surrounded. Worst-case scenario, they call it, right? What we need is a last-second miracle plan. You think I can handle it?"
"I would love to see you try, put on a good show for us," Heather smiled.
"This is going to be a blast," said Ruffnut.
"And I love explosions," said Tuffnut.
Eret gave a chuckle. "One explosion coming up; just make sure to follow my lead."
The spider monkey looked at them, confused. "What is he doing?"
"Check this one out," said Eret as he placed his hands together and pointed them down at the bridge.
The spider monkey realised just what he was planning. "No! Wait, don't do that!"
"Here we go," said Eret, and his arms expanded. "Coup De Vent!"
He then struck the bridge with a massive force of compressed air that caused it to crack, and seconds later, it fell apart. The spider monkey and the Zombie Generals found themselves caught completely by surprise and began falling towards the ground.
"They break the freaking bridge, man!" the spider monkey yelled as he tried to grab hold of the surface. "That's cheating!"
"So my plan good enough for you?" Eret asked as he and the others stood perfectly calm on the rubble as they fell.
"Well, it certainly is violent," Heather admitted.
"I think it was awesome!" said Tuffnut.
"Yeah, but can't we find to our deaths as well?" Ruffnut frowned.
Sure enough, they lost their footing and began to fall towards the courtyard with the rest of the zombies.
"Now Hundred Flower…" said Heather, and arms began to sprout from her back and began to take the form of wings. "…Wing!"
"What?" Eret stared as Heather swooped down towards them.
"Ruff! Tuff! Grab hold of Eret!" Heather yelled.
The twins and arguing, each grabbing one of Eret's legs, and a second later, Heather grabbed Eret, and they flew up into the sky.
"Y-you can fly?" said Eret amazed.
"Yes… for five seconds," she said as she strained herself to keep them aloft.
"Lame!" said the twins as they dangled from Eret's legs.
"That's all we need," said Eret, but he raised his right hand. "Strong Right!"
He then fired his hand over towards the ledge where they saw Hiccup's coffin enter. He then grabbed hold of the broken ledge of the bridge.
"Sweet, I got the ledge!" Eret yelled. "That's the building where they took Hiccup; if we can make it up there, we can save him."
"I'm sorry, I can't hold it!" Heather yelled, and her wings disappeared.
They soon found themselves swinging towards the building.
"Arm return!" Eret yelled as he pulled them towards the ledge. "Just a little more!"
Heather decided not to wait and used Eret's head as a stepping stone and jumped onto the ledge.
"Hey!" Eret yelled.
"This is going to hurt," said Ruffnut as they headed towards the wall.
"Brace yourself!" Tuffnut yelled, closing his eyes.
The three of them then landed face-first into the wall hard, but the twins were able to keep a good enough grip on Eret's leg, so they were still hanging on.
Once Heather reached the ledge, she looked down into the courtyard, where all the zombies lay in a mass pile amongst the rubble.
"A fall like that won't stop a zombie, but at least they're trapped in the courtyard for now," said Heather. "That should at least buy some time. Excellent work, Eret."
Eret and the twins then began pulling themselves up onto the ledge; all three of them looked at her rather furious.
"Yeah, thanks a lot!" Eret snapped. "How generous of you to pay a compliment to your stepping stones! How about an apology?"
"You could have at least found a way to soften our landing!" Tuffnut spat.
"Or at least give a warning!" Ruffnut added.
"We should hurry while their still down," said Heather, not giving an indication that she heard them.
"Hey! Don't pretend like you didn't hear us!" Eret snapped. "You could please help us up!"
Heather's eyes widened, and they immediately turned down into the courtyard.
"See something?" Eret asked.
They could see the other zombies were already recovering from the fall.
"Damn, I guess that's the undead for you," said Eret.
The spider monkey got up and glared up at them. "Now I'm angry! You are going to pay for this! You know I'm a spider, right? Give me two seconds, and I'll be right up there; I start running if I were you!"
Then suddenly, they were interrupted when they heard something falling directly above them.
"What is that?" Eret frowned. "It looks like something is falling up there."
Whatever was falling was screaming.
"No, someone is falling," Eret gasped.
Even though zombies were rather perplexed by what they were seeing as heading straight towards the ground was none other than Skull.
"What do you call a flying skeleton?" Skull yelled. "Airbone!"
He then hit the ground hard.
