It really did look as if it was all over; both Oars and Moria had been taken out.

"Dragon, your amazing!"

"You beat Oars!"

The Rolling Pirates cheered.

Meanwhile, Astrid and the others were more concerned with Hiccup, who had moved since the battle ended.

"Hey, wake up already!" Snotlout yelled.

"Hiccup!" Astrid pleaded.

"Can you hear me? Say something," said Fishlegs.

"I think although shadows we gave him were too much after all," said the masked brother.

"Even someone as powerful as him still isn't invincible," said Lola. "He absorbs the strength of the hundred shadows; he pushed his body to the limit."

"Unless we want all this to be for nothing, we've got to get their shadows back right now," said the skinny brother.

"He's right; we've got to hurry!"

"Take a look to the east and look how bad it is yourself. The sun will be up soon."

"So what now?" Fishlegs asked. "What do we have to do to get the shadows back? He took four of them from our crew."

"We had a plan, but there is a little snack," said Lola. "Dragon was the one who was supposed to make Moria you give them back."

"I don't think he can move in his condition, much less make anybody do anything."

"Moria took the shadows and placed them into zombies. As the Lord of the Shadows, he and he alone must order them to return to their former masters, or otherwise, they will stay right where they are."

"Less talk and more action."

"Right, we've got to get Moria to release them no matter what. If we don't get the shadows back, beating him would be pointless."

Then suddenly, they heard a large movement. When they turned around, they were completely shocked to see Oars had gotten back up.

"This is bad! Oars is back up on his feet!"

"That's impossible! How the hell is he able to move after a beating like that."

"That's it, we're done for!" the skinny brother cried. "Most of the Dragon Riders are down for the count. They were our last hope."

"And the shadows, we already used them against him, and it wasn't enough," the masked brother added. "That was the best shot we had. Even if the Dragon Riders could fight, he's too strong!"

Oars looked down at them. "That didn't hurt at all."

"Damn, you!" Lola screamed.

"He really is a demon. There's no way we can win."

"We're completely out of options. We never stood a chance; we'll be stuck living in this darkness forever."

"We've got a retreat. If we stay here, we're all going to die."

"Yeah, let's head back to the forest where the sun never shines," the skinny brother agreed. "Back to the night forever."

They just turned around and were about to leave, but then suddenly they saw, standing in front of them, Toothless.

"I don't believe it!"

"I'm not sure how it was for Hiccup, but Oars took one hell of a beating," said Toothless.

"Whoa, hold on!" said the skinny brother. "You need to take it easy. You don't want to die, do you?"

"After Oars pounded him mercilessly, he can still stand?" Lola stared. "How can that be? Is he some kind of zombie too?"

"W-what happened to the body of the Dragon Riders crew?" said one of the Pirates, noticing that they were gone. "They were right here. Where did they go?"

"What the?! Hey, you're right! They were here just a second ago! There unconsciously can't move around on their own!"

"What happened at these two?" said another pirate noticing Astrid and the others had vanished as well.

"They're gone! That woman, the husky and snotty-looking guys, just disappeared."

"They couldn't have gotten up and run away on their own. Could they?"

"How could they all have disappeared at the same time?"

"We can't worry about it now; we've got to run!"

Hiccup then awoke, smashing his fist into the ground, gaining everyone's attention.

"I would like to give him one more plasma blast," said Hiccup.

"Dragon!? You too?" said the skinny brother. "What are you guys made of?"

"I can't move, though; my body is too worn out to get out right now," said Hiccup. "Hey, Heather!"

"Yes, I'm right here," said Heather.

The Rolling Pirates looked at her, stunned.

"Hey, they didn't run away!"

"I need to get up there," said Hiccup.

"I understand; I'll provide some footholds for you," he said, looking up at the mansion.

Skull then got up, much to the shock of the Pirates. "I am to still willing and able to help," he said.

"Awww, a living, breathing, talking skeleton!"

"No way!"

"Good to hear," said Hiccup. "I've already got a plan."

"Just as I thought, everybody's back up and ready for the next round," said Astrid.

"She's back! How did she get over there?" the skinny brother asked.

"We're ready whenever you are captain," said Fishlegs.

"Wait, you mean that these guys didn't even think about running away?" the skinny brother stared. "From the second that Oars got back up again? They were all just getting ready for the next round?!"

Hiccup then rose to his feet, though still a little shaken. "Just wait."


At the same time, Ragnar and Chopper were climbing their way to the top of the mansion.

"Chopper, we've got a hurry. The sun is coming up!" Ragnar yelled.

"Right!" Chopper nodded.


Eret, Snotlout and the twins were currently what remained of the refrigerator. Eret was cobbling some pipes together with the assistance of Snotlout and the twins.

"You think we can still use this?" Snotlout asked.

"Yeah, this thing that is barely holding together," said Tuffnut.

"And you asked us to help," Ruffnut added.

"It's fine! Come on!" Eret yelled as he hammered away.


Outside, Hiccup and his group were ready to take down Oars once and for all.

"I don't believe it, and to think we were all about to throw in the towel," said the masked brother.

"Hey, it's about to get really ugly here, so get out the way," Toothless advised

The Rolling Pirates immediately ran away.

"Okay, gotta ya! We'll leave it to you then!" they yelled in unison.

"Now, Leg Flowers!" said Heather crossing her arms.

Immediately sprouting from the main mansion were several legs that crossed one another to create footholds. Skull then grabbed Hiccup and ran towards the mansion as quickly as he could.

"Here we go!" he yelled.

"Let's do it!" said Hiccup.

Skull then jumped onto the sprouted legs and began jumping to the next as he made his way to the top of the mansion.

"Hey, get back here!" Oars demanded.

Then suddenly, rain clouds began to form around him.

"Now, what's happening?" he growled impatiently. "Smoke? Clouds?"

"The forecasted calls for rain," said Fishlegs and began conjuring some Cool Balls. "Cool Ball! Rain Tempo!"

The moment the Cool Balls touched the rainclouds, a massive downpour of rain rained down upon Oars, soaking him to the bone.

The Rolling Pirates just stared, stunned.

"Where did that rain come from?"

"Yeah, is he some kind of wizard or something?"

Eret and his group finally finished cobbling together the pipes.

"All right! Emergency plumbing construction complete!" they yelled.

Oars just looked at his soaking-wet body. "Cut it out!"

"Coup De Boom!" Eret yelled, and a portion of the wall immediately exploded.

"What the?" Oars stared.

"Come on, guys, give it all you got!" Eret yelled.

"We are!" Snotlout, the twins yelled as they began cranking.

As they crank, they slowly increase the pressure within the pipes until it reaches the red area.

"If you want to freeze a giant, nothing beats a super-sized sub-zero air cannon," said Eret. "Now fire!"

Then suddenly, shooting out of the pipe was a massive blast of cold air, and Astrid quickly raised her battleaxe.

"Valkyrie Storm!" she yelled.

She then suddenly created a giant tornado that caught the cold air and said it straight into Oars. The lower part of his body immediately froze the moment it made contact with him, thanks to the rainwater on him.

"Crap, I'm frozen!" he cursed. "I can't move!"

The Rolling Pirates gasped.

"Awesome!"

"They froze him with the rainwater!"

Ragnar and Chopper had now reached the top of the mountain and were standing next to the chain that controls the rudder. Ragnar then dived down and caught the chain with his leg.

"Now it's my turn!" he yelled.

"What?" said Oars looking up at him.

"Suck on this!" Ragnar yelled as he kicked the chain, wrapping itself around Oars.

"What now!?" Oars roared.

"You did it!" Chopper cheered.

"Get this thing off me!" Oars demanded.

"Nice, good job!" Chopper yelled.

"Thanks," said Ragnar as he hit the ground.

Skull had managed to carry Hiccup to the top of the mast and was about to toss him straight down.

"Now toss me!" Hiccup ordered.

"Are you sure about this?" Skull asked.

"I'll be fine," Hiccup assured him.

"And here we go!" said Skull tossing him straight down at Oars.

As Hiccup, he immediately transformed into his hybrid form.

"Time for Gamma Mode!" said Hiccup.

His body then grew even larger, and he spread his wings to position himself directly above Oars.

"Toothless, your turn! Go for the stomach!" Chopper yelled.

"Leave it to me," he said as he drew all three swords. "Three-Sword Style: Three Thousand Worlds!"

He then launched himself into the air spinning his swords around, and then struck Oars with all three with a devastating attack through the stomach. Oars instantly coughed out a large amount of blood.

"My turn again, take this," said Ragnar as he operated the rudder.

The mechanism then began pulling on the chain, straightening Oars' back until he stood up straight.

"Good one, Ragnar!" Chopper yelled. "We've got his back nice and straight."

"What in the hell are these guys doing?" the masked brother asked.

"This structure is the same as humans, which means his spine is S-shaped designed to carry weight as well as soften the impact of the body," Chopper explained. "But when the spying is pulled into a straight line, it won't be able to absorb impact, and he will have to bear the full force of Hiccup's attack."

"Do it!" Astrid yelled at Hiccup.

"Best of luck," said Skull.

"At this speed, might punch is going to be devastating; there's no way you will be able to survive this attack!" Hiccup yelled as he raised his fist.

"I can easily knock you back with my own punch! Dragon…" Oars roared, and he attempted to lift his left arm but couldn't find the strength to lift it. "I can't lift my arm!"

"His inability to feel any pain turned out to be a weakness," said Heather.

"Time to finish him off and take back your shadow," said Toothless.

"Now, Dragon Titan…" Hiccup roared as he raised his fist.

The Rolling Pirates cheered him on as loudly as they could.

"Take him down, Dragon!" Lola yelled.

"Do it!" the Eret, Snotlout and the twins yelled.

"…Fist!" Hiccup yelled, swinging his fist right down on top of Oars' head.

The moment his best mate in packet centre massive shockwave throughout Oars' body breaking his spine. Exhausted, Hiccup then turned back to his human form, and Oars began to topple over.

The Dragon Riders smiled while the Rolling Pirates just stared in shock.

"He did it!" the Rolling Pirates yelled seconds after Oars hit the ground.


All the zombies on the island watched the battle. They all knew that Oars was not going to get back up after that final blow.

"I don't care if you're a zombie; no one can get back up after something like that."

"He lost, he really lost. And though he was so big."

"What's going to happen to Breakneck Bog?"

Looking down from the mansion was Cindry, who just remained utterly silent at showing the new ounce of emotion.

Zombie Lola was holding the unconscious Absalom in her arms; she had also watched the battle from the beginning to its end.

"They really did it; I knew they could," she said. "That Dragon Rider crew is something else."

Hildon flew over Oars and sighed. "It seems like I invited nothing but trouble to the island."

"What happened to our master?" Nep asked. "Can anybody see him?"


"They did it!" Lola cheered. "They really did it this time!"

"Thank you so much; you guys are the best!"

"They really were our shining stars of hope!"

"I told you Dragon was our saviour!" said Lola.

"Can you keep it down, man, trying to rest here?" Hiccup groaned.

Oars was still conscious, but he found himself unable to move; he was completely paralysed from the neck down.

"It doesn't hurt, but I can't move," he said.

Chopper looked down at him now in his hybrid form. "He's still conscious even his bones cross; he can't die. These zombies really do make a mockery of life."

Then suddenly, his eyes turned towards the sun, which was now shining just over the horizon. "The sun is coming up!"

Ragnar sat down next to the rudder controls; he was absolutely worn out. The same could be said for Toothless.

Skull just looked down from the mast. "What is this? This strange sensation coursing through my bones."

The Rolling Pirates were still celebrating, but the rest of the Dragon Riders knew it was an over just yet.

"Hey, Hiccup! Hurry up with shadows! The sun is coming up!" Snotlout yelled, and then he looked at the Rolling Pirates. "What are you cheering about? If you don't get the shadows back, you'll all be burned to ashes!"

"Wow, you're right. I forgot we've got to hurry," said the masked brother.

"All right then, let's go wake Moria up with a beating and make him release the shadows," said Lola. "Morning is almost here."

"No need," said a voice. "I'm awake."

Everyone immediately turned and saw Moria from his cockpit within Oars' stomach. However, he looked pretty beaten up and badly scorched.

"Moria!" the Rolling Pirates gasped.

The zombies near the forest immediately cheered upon seeing their master.

"Master is alive!"

"Thank goodness, he's safe!"

"I wasn't worried about him at all!"

Moria panted, clearing still not fully recovered from Hiccup's previous attacks.

"Fine, just saves us the trouble of waking you up ourselves," said Lola. "Now, unless you want another beating from the Dragon Riders, you'll do what we say. Release all the shadows now!"

"Yeah, give them back, you bastard!" the skinny brother demanded.

Moria looked at them and laughed. "Would you think this is a playground brawl? True pirates would never bow to demands like that, not even if his life depended upon it!"

He then looked at Hiccup, who had managed to get back up on his feet. "Do you manage to team up with those losers from the forest, did you? What a joke! Now I see how Dragon got that ridiculous increase in power. How desperate you must be to use my own shadow abilities against me."

"You shut your mouth!" Lola spat. "Return the shadow that once!"

"Dragon Conqueror Hiccup, you've got some nerve making a mess of Breakneck Bog," Moria growled and then nearly toppled over. "You'll pay for what you've done to my glorious ship!"

"You're the one who's going to pay; it was your fault to pick a fight with my crew," Hiccup counted. "Now, get back those shadows before the sun comes up!"

Moria laughed. "Why? At this point, all I have to do is sit around and wait for you all to die. I'm afraid you're not cut out for the New World, kid. I admit you have some good underlings, but it doesn't matter. All will be lost, and you know why?"

"Dragon, this isn't the time to sit around in chitchat," said the masked brother. "Take a look at the sky; it's getting brighter! Just focus on getting the shadows back! We're almost out of time!"

"…because unlike me, you have yet to realise the weakness of your crew," Moria continued. "I trusted my underling just as you do, but despite their towns, do you know why I ended up losing them? Because they were mortal, that is what makes things different this time."

Then suddenly, dark tendrils shot out from his shadow and began putting out across the entire island.

"Have they been zombies from the beginning? I would have nothing to lose. Zombies are fearless, eternal relentless warriors that can be replaced even if they fall. Now with my army of the undead, there's nothing in the world that can stop me from becoming King of the Pirates! You and your crew should be grateful for the chance to serve as my slaves!"

Everyone just watched the dark tendrils they spread out, but they seemed to have no interest in them. They were heading straight towards the zombies and immediately attached to their bodies.

"It's got me!

'Now, every last shadow in Breakneck Bog, come to me and become my power,' Moria commanded. 'Shadow's Asgard!'

The dark tendrils then suddenly stole the shadows from the zombies.

"What's happening?"

"His shadow came out!"

The dark tendrils then began working on the other zombies removing their shadows, and they began flowing towards Moria.

"The zombie's shadows," said Astrid, immediately returning to Moria. "No way! He's gathering up every shadow on this island and pumping them into his body!"

Sure enough, the shadows were entering Moria's body.

"Tell me, Dragon Conqueror Hiccup, from your strength, I say you absorbed about the hundred shadows, right?" said Moria. "Then I shall take 100… 200… 300… 400… 500… 600…"

Everyone stared in shock and horror as Moria grew in size, becoming roughly as big as Oars, and his skin slowly became a sickly green.

"…700… 800… 900… 1,000!"
