Snotlout had just revealed another Perona that had been hiding a secret bedroom. However, this one just sat on the bed motionless, as if she was soulless.
"I see you plain as day, but you can fly, you can walk straight through walls and people, and to top it all off, you can change your size at will," Snotlout panted. "I'm no paranormal expert, but it sure sounds like your ghost to me. So the question is, why would a ghost run away from me like you did? The only thing that makes sense is that you had a physical body when I was chasing you."
"What's your point?" Perona asked.
"My point is that your ghost duplicate! You slipped out of your body and became a ghost as soon as I lost sight of you." He then immediately pointed at her real body. "That right there that your real body! I'm done falling for your tricks!"
"And here I thought you were just some egotistical idiot," she said bitterly. "Did your little superhero mask make you feel better? Still, as a prize, you have the wits to figure it all out, but you're only about 90 percent right. I'm not just a ghost duplicate being controlled by my real body; my entire spirit is able to detach free. I'm a hollow with its own will, leaving my body empty."
"Thanks for explaining," Snotlout smirked as he cracked his knuckles. "I'm just curious what would you think would happen if you didn't have a body to go back to?"
He then pulled what appeared to be a small cannonball and then turned to Perona's body. "Because I've got a feeling that my attacks are actually going to hit this time around."
"You bastard! Don't you dare!" Perona roared.
"I'll blow you to bits," said Snotlout as he got ready to chuck the cannonball with all his strength. "Have a taste of this!"
He then tossed the cannonball a minute directly at Perona's body, but he ended up missing by an inch.
"That was way too close," Perona sighed with relief. "But you missed, and it looks like it was a dude anyway."
"Well, these massive guns won't mess," said Snotlout as he raised his fists.
"Like I'm going to give you another shot! Special Hollow!" she yelled as she swiped her hand across the air.
Then suddenly, materialising directly above Snotlout was a large ghost with a big mouth.
"That one isn't going to blow up, is it?" Snotlout panicked; he had painful memories of those miniature ghosts she sent at him. "The giant version of the ones from before."
The ghost then opened its giant mouth and bit down on him, but it's been a ghost it did no physical harm.
"Oh, this is messed up!" Snotlout yelled. He was unable to see a thing from inside the ghost. "Get this thing off me, damnit!"
"You just stay put; I'm not letting you lay a finger on my real body," she said as she flew away towards her real body.
"Come on, can't we talk about this?" Snotlout yelled as he tried to free himself. "Those little ones heard enough already! Can't you just use those zombies again? This big one will blow me to pieces!"
"You can struggle all you want, but it won't help," said Perona. "Your insider ghost."
She then re-entered her real body, and moments later, her eyes opened as she awoke.
Meanwhile, in the refrigerator, Moria had sat back down and continued to watch Hiccup struggling to overpower his Doppelman.
"Plasma Blast!" Hiccup roared, firing a plasma blast at Moria.
Unfortunately, his shadow immediately blocked the attack, but Hiccup quickly flew into the air and slammed his tail against it.
"Dragon Whip!"
The shadow then immediately grabbed his tail, and Hiccup quickly bit down on its hand. He tore a piece of it out, but it merely reattached itself to the shadow. A split second later, Doppleman slammed him down onto the ground.
Moria laughed. "Is something wrong? Did you have some plan to kick my ass over and over again?"
"No need to get impatient. I'll get round to you as soon as possible," said Hiccup.
"Of course, that's fine. I'm not trying to rush you. I'm just worried that he might come back before you get the chance to."
"What's that supposed to mean? Who are you talking about?"
Moria laughed. "Why you, of course."
Hiccup looked rather confused.
Moria was, in fact, talking about Oars, who was now walking around the mansion studying every aspect of it.
"This is the strangest ship I've ever seen," he said. "There are no cannons, and it doesn't look particularly fast either, even with the sail this bit. Going to be king of the Pirates on have to make some changes here."
At the same time, Heather and Chopper were fighting against Toothless and Ragnar's zombies.
"Eight Flower!" said Heather crossing her arms.
Arms then immediately sprouted around Deathwing, holding him in place. However, he was quite strong, and Heather found it difficult to hold him down, and he eventually broke free of the hold. Heather cried in pain and collapsed to the ground as she could feel the pain from the sudden jerk.
'He is much stronger than he looks,' Heather panted as she got back up.
Hogback laughed at the site. "Look at them trying to fight back. This will go a lot fast if you give up."
Chopper looked at Heather, concerned. 'Heather…'
"Hey, what are you just adding, therefore?" said the penguin. "This isn't the time to try and act cool, you crappy little reindeer."
"Ragnar," he said softly.
"I'm afraid I don't go by that name, and even if I did, I'm not your friend," he said and then dashed towards him.
Once again, he was in front of Chopper, and the next, he suddenly appeared right next to him. Then before he knew it, he kicked him across the face sending him flying across the room.
"If you can't beat me, at least try, you worthless pile of crap," the penguin advised.
"Oi, penguin!" said Deathwing as he took up a fighting stance. "Better get out of the way!"
The penguin then quickly jumped to one side just as Deathwing launched his attack.
"36 Calibre Phoenix!" he yelled as he unleashed a slashing attack towards Heather.
Heather just narrowly managed to jump out of the way, but she was still struck by the shockwave and was knocked to the floor.
"Heather!" Chopper cried.
"Thanks for the warning," said the penguin looking at Deathwing.
"Just be careful when you're running around; next time, you may not be as fortunate," Deathwing warned.
"Now's my chance," said Chopper and quickly transformed into his animal form.
He quickly galloped across the floor and just behind Deathwing. He then transformed into his human form and quickly grabbed him from behind.
"Do it now, Heather! The salt!" Chopper yelled.
"Just hold him still," said Heather.
She immediately sprouted arms on Deathwing's chest and sprouted a second arm to grab the salt balls in the bag hanging on Chopper's pants. She then brought it towards Deathwing's mouth, and he immediately closed it, but she started a few more arms to force his mouth open.
"Don't tell me you forgot a little old me," said the penguin.
"Get back; you realise Heather is a lady, right?" said Chopper.
"A lady?" said the penguin and then promptly kicked Heather in the back. "Is that supposed to stop me from hitting her?"
"Heather, no!" Chopper cried as she felt the ground.
Heather then lost concentration, and the arms around Deathwing vanished.
"Wait, how could Ragnar… that doesn't make any sense," said Chopper confused.
Deathwing then tossed them over his shoulder, knocking him to the ground. He looked up and saw the zombie penguin looking down at him.
"Keep trying if you want that if you want to die," he said.
Deathwing then made his way over to Heather, pointing his sword at her.
Hogback laughed. "Looks like the battle has ended."
Outside, the zombies in the forest were panicking as Oars walked around.
"This ship is a complete mess. It's too big a target, no weapons, and it is dreadfully slow," he said, but then came to a sudden stop. "Wait, why do I care about the ship? And why am I a way out here? And why was I supposed to be doing? I remember something about being a pirate, but that can't be right. Why would I waste my time on something stupid like being a Pirate King?"
He then suddenly had a mental image of Moria, and he got a strong urge that he needed to obey him.
"Now I remember, this is in the tide of fool around in this jungle. I've gotta go; I've got to go back there fast. I need to get back to Master Moria because he needs me."
Perona had now woken up and could see that Snotlout was trapped inside the jaws of a ghost.
"Let me go! Let me out of this damn thing!" he yelled frantically.
Perona laughed. "Too bad you mucked up that throw. With a simple snap of my fingers, you will be reduced to a puddle of guts and goo!"
"No!" Snotlout screamed. "Please don't! Please, I'm begging you! I'm too important to die!"
"Oh, don't you worry; you won't stay that way for long. Hogback will use whatever is left of you to make a zombie. Kamikaze Wrath!"
She then snapped her fingers, and for a brief moment, it did look as if the ghost was going to explode. However, it looked as if something absorbed the ghost just as it exploded, and Snotlout was left completely unharmed.
"No! It vanished!" she stared.
Snotlout sat up and revealed the impact dial had been holding. "That was too close; good thing I borrowed this impact dial; it was able to absorb the explosion."
"What are you—?" Perona frowned as she tried to move but felt something sticky stuff around her arm. When she turned her head, she found that her left arm was completely ensnared in what appeared to be chewing gum. "What the hell is this stuff?"
"It's a bluff," Snotlout smirked.
"Would you mean?"
"You see, that throw from earlier land is exactly what I wanted it to, and it wasn't a dud either. It was actually a capsule filled with a sticky solution courtesy of the twins. I have to make sure you can move after you return to your real body."
"You did what?"
"Now that your ghost and body R1, I killed two birds with one stone."
"Damnit," Perona cursed.
Then she saw one of her zombies approaching them, the hippopotamus dressed in a tuxedo.
"You're the one who purified our Captain Treacle, aren't you!" he said, looking at Snotlout and raising his sword.
"What perfect timing," Perona beamed. "Now take the creep out, Lieutenant Hippo Gentleman!"
The zombie swung his sword down at Snotlout, but he quickly raised his palm, holding the impact dial.
"Impact!" he yelled, blasting him with the full force of the explosion he had absorbed earlier.
'I knew he was strong, but I thought he was still worn out,' Perona stared.
Snotlout grimaced from the recall of the impact dial. 'So much pain! It feels like my arm is going to snap in two!'
"Lieutenant Hippo!" Perona cried as he fell to the ground.
"You really should be more worried about yourself right now," Snotlout advised as he pulled out another cannonball and got ready to throw it. "Have a taste of this!"
He then tossed the cannonball straight at her, but it bounced off when it hit her. She looked up and saw the cannonball was yet another capsule split in two, and it was completely full of cockroaches that immediately crawled all over her, causing her to scream.
"Cockroaches!" she screamed. She tried to move, but she was still tied up by the chewing gum. "So disgusting! Get them off of me! Help me; I can't get away!"
One of them then found its way into her sleeve, causing her to panic even more.
"They're getting in my clothes!" she screamed. "Please, I hate cockroaches! Please, somebody… Treacle!"
She then stopped as Snotlout slowly approached, cracking his knuckles. "I had a feeling cockroaches would freak you out, but if you really want to know what you really should be scared of… your looking at him. You really shouldn't have underestimated me, Princess. I was known throughout the entire stretch of the East Blue as the strongest man who ever lived."
"Now, let's not do anything hasty; sure, we can still talk this out," said Perona.
"Oh, I think we gave up the chance to talk things out a long time ago," said Snotlout.
"Please! Please, stop!"
Snotlout did not stop and kept making his way towards her until he was right in front of her. "I normally don't like to hit girls, especially good-looking ones, but after the hell, you put me through, I'll make an exception.
"Please stop! Please don't hit me! Please get these disgusting roaches off me!"
"This is where it ends!" Snotlout yelled.
"Please spare my life; I'm sorry! I'm begging you! Please, I swear that I won't lay a finger on your crew if you let me live! Please don't kill me!"
"Quit your babbling; it's far too late!" Snotlout roared as he raised his fist. "Ten Ton Fist!"
He then swung his fist towards her but stopped seconds before hitting her face. However, she instantly fell unconscious due to the shock.
"That one sad goes, Princess," Snotlout shrugged. He then picked up one of the cockroaches, which turned out to be nothing but a toy. "Though she really should be ashamed of herself for passing out at the site of toy roaches. I have to say the twins have a sick sense of humour; good thing I raided their belongings before I went out."
He then went and picked up his fallen mask. "Let that be a lesson to you never mess with the Snot! Now you just stay put until sunrise!"
He then laughed as he walked away triumphantly. "This is turning out to be a pretty good day after all. I won!"
Meanwhile, Toothless was still battling with Ryuma, which resulted in the two of them cutting the roof of the mansion directly over the laboratory. Toothless was sent flying and hit the roof of the mansion.
On the other side of the roof, Eret, Skull and the twins had managed to find cover.
"You hear that?" Eret asked. "It sounds like the samurai said something, but I couldn't understand him."
"You're not alone there," said Tuffnut.
"Yeah, we could hear him either," Ruffnut nodded.
"The better question is, what going on here?" said Eret.
"What's going on here?" said Skull. "In short, it looks like the battle between them is over. I have seen many fights in my life, but I assure you that none of them have been anything like this. That samurai scarcely used a fraction of his strength when he was fighting me."
Ryuma was looking down at the unconscious Toothless while his entire body was burning with blue flames.
