While Dak and the others were fighting in the real world, Vanessa, Magnus, Luck, Charmy and Sally were in the world of dreams.
They were standing on a large bed floating in an empty pinkish space with other giant objects floating around. While everyone was concerned, Charmy was having fun jumping up and down the bed, and Sally looked strangely excited.
"Cool, where are we now?" Sally asked. "I can't see very well without my glasses, but it sure seems fun."
"This place is freaky," said Magnus. "Anyone know where the heck we are?"
"The Captain of the Coral Peacocks magic. I don't know what else it could be," said Vanessa. 'Rouge was unable to evade it because she couldn't identify it as an attack spell.'
"This is the best!" Sally cried excitedly. "It's one of the most powerful spells a mage can produce. Man, I'm freaking out."
"Can you please just rein it in?" said Magnus.
Luck then sensed something. "Whoa, this place goes on forever. There's no end to it."
Magnus frowned at him. "Don't be a moron, how is that even possible?"
"It's a lot more likely than the possibility of you becoming smart," Luck smirked.
"What did you just say to me?" Magnus snapped.
"You are in the Glamour World now, and in this place, the impossible becomes real," said a voice above them.
They all looked up and saw Raia floating above them.
"Welcome," she yawned, "to the world where I control everything."
Then suddenly, the bet they were standing on turned into a ball of thread, which wrapped itself around them all.
"The bed just…" Magnus gasped.
Raia yawned and closed her eyes. Then, the clouds transformed into a giant creature, a mixture between an elephant and a pig.
"Everything here is how I wish it to be," she said.
"I don't know what that thing is, but it's really big," said Magnus.
"And it just keeps getting bigger," Luck added.
"I wonder if it's tasty?" said Charmy, licking her lips.
"I hate to disappoint, but you have no chance of winning," said Raia.
The creature's snout opened like a Venus fly trap, and inside its mouth, they could see a galaxy. It then launched itself at them and devoured them in one bite.
"Now, sleep forever," she said.
However, floating past the creature was a second bed, and she could see the Black Dragons and Sally finally freeing themselves from the massive amount of thread.
"How dare that thing try to eat us instead!" Charmy yelled indignantly.
"We nearly died," said Magnus as he conjured a fireball. "Now eat this stupid pig!"
He tossed the fireball at the creature, and it immediately exploded.
Raia was rather surprised to see that they survived but saw Rouge, who no doubt saved. 'The result was altered? So that magic really does influence fate.'
"That little red cat is so stinking cute!" Sally cried, looking at Rouge.
"You're not one of the Black Dragons, you know. If you stray too far, her magic won't affect you, be careful," Vanessa warned.
"I get it, just you guys," said Sally. "There have to be limits on a spell this great. Dream Magic and Thread Magic… these two witches are so super cool! I want to research!"
"I feel like she's bad news," said Magnus.
"Think so?" said Luck.
Charmy then immediately cooked up some food for Vanessa. "Yeah, eat. When you use magic, you have to eat up to recover your mana."
"That magic is great," said Sally as Vanessa ate the food. "You wouldn't happen to be a witch, would you?"
"No, ma'am, I really like to cook and eat," said Charmy.
Raia frowned. 'An unlimited magic supply and absolute evasion. This won't be easy.'
"If this ridiculous place is also a world of magic, then all we have to do to get out is to beat her!" said Magnus, creating a fireball.
"Looks like it," said Luck as he conjured up some lightning.
The two of them then fired their attacks at Raia, but she merely yawned as two fluffy toys floated beside her.
"No," she said.
The fluffy toys suddenly created a water and earth barrier blocking the attacks.
"Can she use any magic attribute in this place?" said Sally excitedly. "Oh wow, I wonder what her limits are."
"Wow, this is fun," said Luck.
"This is anything but fun!" Magnus snapped. "Anyone even supposed to do? She's invincible."
"Dramatic is not that interesting, hate to tell ya," Sally laughed.
Magnus glared at her. "What the hell did you just say?"
"Well, do you want to fight me?" Luck asked.
"This is not the time to be playing around," said Vanessa.
"Yeah, she's right," Charmy agreed as she kept on eating.
'I'm the cornerstone of our defence, and Charmy is vital to mana recovery,' said Vanessa. 'We both can't be stuck here; we have to hurry back to the others. But how?'
Raia then created three hands out of earth, fire and ice and sent them straight down towards them. Fortunately, thanks to Rouge, they were able to avoid getting hit.
'All I can do is help is available with Rouge's magic,' said Vanessa.
Charmy then provided her with some more food. "Time to recover your mana."
"Come on, eat Vanessa!" Magnus cheered.
"Eat, eat, eat!" Charmy yelled repeatedly as Vanessa ate.
"I'm going to slap all of you if I get fat from this," Vanessa warned as she ate.
'There has to be some kind of limit to her healing abilities,' said Raia and closed her eyes. 'An ever-flowing pool of water which has blade fish continuously spawning from it. An everlasting onslaught.'
Suddenly appearing out of thin air was a massive pool of water filled with fish with razor-sharp blades. They quickly began to consume, and the blade fish began to eat all of Charmy's food.
"Get away from my food!" Charmy yelled.
"Crap, that's not good," said Vanessa.
"Oh, water," said Sally. "Say there, Lightning Boy, think you can attack that overgrown puddle?"
"Yeah, but I'm not sure I can destroy something that big, though," said Luck.
"That's fine. Just give it your all."
"Lightning Magic: Thunderbolt Destruction!" Luck yelled, firing bolts of lightning at the water.
However, the only thing he was able to accomplish was electrocuting it.
"Well, that sure didn't work," said Luck.
Sally then turned to Magnus. "Okay, Fire Protozoa, it's your turn."
"Who are you calling a Fire Protozoa, you big jerk!" Magnus snapped.
"Oh, come on, put your ego aside and hit it with everything you've got."
"Who the hell do you think I am?" Magnus yelled as he tossed his fireballs into the water.
"If I guess correctly, and that pool really is made of water," Sally smiled as the fireball touched the water. A few seconds later, there was a massive explosion, "then it's going to explode!"
Everyone stared, shocked by what happened, as they coughed through the smoke.
"Yeah! Intensity, now that's what I'm talking about!" Sally cried.
"Whoa, what just happened?" Vanessa asked.
"Oh, I broke the water down electrically and then set fire to what was left," Sally shrugged. Everyone just stared at her, confused. "Well, if you unleash Lightning Magic and Fire Magic on water, you can create an explosion big enough to destroy an entire mountain."
"What the?!" Magnus stared. "How could you make us do something so reckless?"
Sally laughed. "Who cares? You could have abated with the cat."
Luck smiled. 'Oooh, I'll try that with Adelaide's magic next.'
"Anyway, the experiment clarified a few other things to me," Sally continued. "First of all, what she's generating is actually objects she's visualising. Which means real-world principles work on them, too."
As if to prove this theory, Charmy cooked one of the blade fish and began eating it.
"Yummy!" she cried. "A real nice tasty fish."
"Secondly, because of that, she is unable to manipulate the spells we cast, nor can she control the resulting phenomena," Sally added.
"That makes sense," said Vanessa. "Otherwise, that explosion and Rouge's abilities to manipulate fate wouldn't have worked."
"And then thirdly," she said as the smoke cleared, revealing that Raia had survived the explosion by creating a shield, "it's still going to be really difficult to beat her."
"Geez, you'd think she'd ease up a little," said Vanessa.
"We better hurry up and find a way out of this place," said Magnus.
"Sorry you don't have that kind of time," said Raia as her shield disappeared.
Vanessa then noticed that Charmy was beginning to fall asleep. "Charmy!"
"I'm so sleepy," she said.
Magnus then immediately grabbed her and began shaking her to keep us awake. "What are you talking about? This is no time for…"
He then started to feel sleepy and yawned.
Vanessa, too, was starting to feel a little drowsy. "Oh no, this is…"
"How unfortunate," said Raia. "You can't evade drowsiness. That is how it is; everything that exists in Glamour World will eventually get drowsy. Worse yet, those who fall asleep will never awaken again."
"Who are you talking to?" said Magnus as he forced himself to stay awake. "I've been able to stay awake through all the Captain's all-nighters. This is nothing."
'This is in good,' said Vanessa. 'I don't know what we can do to evade this attack.'
"You will sink into the sleep of death, for within this enchanted space, you could not resist," said Raia.
Sally yawned. 'Ah, everything was already blurry, and now it's getting even blurrier. Not having my glasses really sucks.'
Then, an idea formed in her head, and she put her fingers around her eyes as if she were wearing glasses. "Hey, check it out! Do you have any idea what these are? If not, I'll tell you… glasses! Like them?"
Magnus blinked. "Why are you babbling on about glasses? Now is not the time to worry about."
Then suddenly, a pair of glasses appeared in front of Sally.
"Hey! Look!" she cheered.
Everyone just stared dumbfounded as she put the glasses on.
"What?!" Magnus gasped.
"She just made those," said Vanessa.
"Where did those come from?" Magnus asked.
"Everything in this world does as she sees fit," Sally explained. "That is why the object she visualises in her head materialised. Now, if you ask me, what this world needs most is an exit, exit, exit! Make one, please."
Then, suddenly, several doors were popping out all over the place.
"It's hard not to think about something once your mind has visualised it," said Sally. "Hooray for the power of suggestion."
"Oh, hell yeah!" Magnus cheered. "She is only invincible in this dumb Glamour World."
Vanessa smiled. "If we can escape it, we'll figure this out."
Meanwhile, Hiccup was wandering through the Shadow Palace with Toothless in the real world. When he entered it, he suddenly separated from Dagur and Heather.
"Damn, I didn't think we would get separated," said Hiccup and smiled at Toothless. "At least we were able to stick with one another, Bud."
Toothless growled.
"Yeah, I don't like it too," said Hiccup as they continued to make their way down the dark corridor. "Someone is definitely walking space. I just hope Dagur and Heather aren't having the same problems."
Bable was close by as he used his magic to warp the space around Hiccup, having him wander aimlessly.
"He's certainly an observant one, and it was not easy to fool a dragon's senses," he said, looking at the dice in his hand. "A good thing I rolled a six. That should keep him busy for a little while."
He then looked around the empty chamber where he was currently standing. 'With dice Magic, the higher the number, the more effective I'll be in a situation at hand. I won't let anyone get in the way of the Apostles of Sephira.'
Dak and his group were busy fighting both Droit and Eclat. Droit had fired another beam at Dak, who deflected it with his Demon-Destroyer Sword.
Grey was hiding behind a mirror she had created. "There is no way I can keep this up any more," she panicked.
Gordon was using his poison to neutralise the beams. "Their overall power is much higher than ours."
Henry was using the rubble of the basin with the shield himself. "I'm about to reach my limit!"
"This is pointless; just give up already," said Droit.
Dak kept on deflecting the beams aimed at him. "I don't think so. We're not done yet!"
The others nodded in agreement.
'What should I do?' Dak panted. 'Think… If only I could get into my Dark Form, but I don't think you give me a chance for that.'
Everyone else was forced to watch the battle unfold as they were still paralysed by Eclat's magic.
'Dak… the others…' said Adelaide helplessly.
'I hate that all we can do is watch,' said Maple.
"Big brother," said Eclat.
"I know," Droit nodded. "We must keep Licht and everyone waiting a bit longer. Eclat, you know what to do."
She nodded.
"Here we go," said Droit in the mirrors around him began to glow.
He fired a beam at Dak, and when he was distracted, a mirror suddenly appeared beside him. It then began transporting him from one mirror to another, bringing him closer towards Droit.
"Dak!" Gordon yelled as he and the others looked up.
Dak recognised the spell. 'This spell is the same one that Gaspard used to avoid attacks.'
"Yes, come right this way, kid," Droit beckoned. "Licht's Demon-Destroyer Sword severs all contact and relationships nearby. He can nullify Eclat's Eye Magic, so I'll get rid of him first."
Eclat looked at the mirror's reflection and used her magic on Dak. "Look here."
Dak quickly closed his eyes. "No, thank you."
"Can you obey attacks with your eyes closed?" Droit asked, firing one of his beams at him.
"I can," said Dak spun around, deflecting the attack with his sword, "with aura!"
The beam shot past Droit's face, who frowned. "In that case, how about this?"
He then fired multiple beams directly at Dak, with the intention of hitting him on all sides.
"So many… not good!" said Dak.
"Explosion Magic: Detonation Shot!" a voice yelled.
Dak then saw several shots shoot past him and hit the mirrors, which exploded upon impact, destroying them.
He looked down at his army and smiled broadly as Tuffnut and Ruffnut had just arrived.
"Ruff! Tuff! You're here!" Dak cried.
"Sorry we're a little late, but a few elves try to make their way inside," said Ruffnut.
"But we took care of them," said Tuffnut.
"We've got your back, Dak!" said Ruffnut as she stretched her arms.
"Hey, that rhymes," said Tuffnut.
"Gas Magic: Mischief Shroud!" Ruffnut yelled.
Gas immediately exited from her palms and began surrounding Dak, hiding him from view.
"Like a smoke screen is going to stop me," said Droit as he fired more mirror blasts.
This time, he fired them much faster, making it difficult for Tuffnut to blast the mirrors. However, when the being struck the gas, they became much weaker and barely penetrated it.
"My Mischief Shroud not only hides my target from view, but it weakens all magic outside of it," Ruffnut smiled.
"But how long did you keep it up?" Droit asked as he kept on blasting.
Despite his spells getting weaker, they were slowly beginning to penetrate the gas. However, Ruffnut's real attempt was to protect Dak so that he could enter his Dark Form. Once he was able to complete his transformation, he spun around, cutting through the gas, surprising Droit.
"What?!" he gasped."
"Here we go. Now I can fight," said Dak.
Suddenly, he took off at blinding speed, smashing through the mirrors and flying up towards Droit and Eclat.
"You're mine!" he yelled as he raised his blade.
"You just…" said Droit as he lifted the bangs covering his left eye, revealing his magic tour, which reflected Eclat's eyes.
"…looked," they both said.
Dak was then suddenly paralysed. 'The magic item in his left eye.'
"I've had enough of you, brat," said Droit. "I will destroy every piece of you so you can't fight us again."
Now appearing directly above Dak was a particularly large mirror which would fire a blast powerful enough to eliminate him.
'I'll never undo the binding spell in time,' Dak panicked.
"Dak's in trouble!" Gordon yelled.
"My magic can't reach him that high up!" said Ruffnut.
Everyone else could only just stare and watch in horror.
'Dak,' said Adelaide helplessly.
"Goodbye now," said Droit, firing a powerful mirror beam straight down at Dak.
Then, at the last possible moment, flying into the sky was some kind of aircraft. Henry had put together the pieces of the base into an aircraft and was even able to make it fly. The others were riding on its back, holding onto it tight.
"We're here, Dak!" Henry cried.
"Poison Magic: Violet Serum!" Gordon yelled, firing a stream of poison over Dak.
"Transformation Magic: Magic Conversion!" Grey yelled. "Poison to mirror!"
Grey then transformed the poison into a large mirror, which deflected Droit's attack.
"Explosion Magic: Detonation Shot!" Tuffnut yelled, firing an explosive shot at the mirror, shattering it.
"I owe you one, guys, thanks," said Dak as he began to free himself from the binding spell.
"That actually wasn't too bad," Droit admitted as he conjured up more mirrors.
He then fired a barrage of beams at Henry, who quickly performed several fancy manoeuvres to dodge the attacks. Everyone outside held the back of the aircraft as tightly as possible so they would be thrown off.
However, one of the beams finally struck them, but Henry was able to keep them aloft using the magic he had left.
'Just as we thought,' said Henry, panting. 'Gaspard is way stronger than usual like this. Still…'
"Come on," said Dak as he concentrated on freeing himself from the binding spell. "Move!"
'Together, the five of us can do this, I'm still able to fight,' said Henry.
However, he was starting to run low on magic, making it difficult to keep the aircraft flying.
"Henry," said Gordon.
"That was close. Are you okay in there?" Grey asked.
"Can you keep this up?" Ruffnut asked.
"I am all right!" Henry reassured them.
He continued flying around, dodging Droit's attacks to the best of his ability.
'Come on, magic, please hold out,' Henry pleaded. 'Just a little longer, that's all I ask.'
Many mages are able to use magic to reinforce their natural defence, and Henry was no exception, but in Henry's case, life depended upon it. His blood vessels, muscles and organs are incredibly frail, so he would die if he did not continuously reinforce them with magic.
Unfortunately, he had been granted a constitution that absorbed magical power, enabling him to gain it from others. Believe it or not, he was born into a noble family, but of course, it was very common among the nobility to care more about their pristine than their own children.
"This can't be!" said Henry's father. "If we continue to harbour that thing, it will only bring disgrace to the great name of Legolant."
"How can you speak our child that way," Henry's mother cried.
"We have no other choice. This is for our family."
Henry's father wanted to abandon him out right in the forest, but his mother managed to convince him to lock him away dead in a remote mansion, placing just enough servants there to keep him alive.
The mansion they locked him in could store magic and was remote enough to remain unseen by others. Of course, the servants who were meant to look after Henry disappeared one by one until he was alone.
'This is just as it should be,' said Henry as he sat there in bed waiting to die. 'All I do was cause trouble for people.'
However, Captain Hiccup found the mansion and decided to make it his base. Despite Henry explaining his situation, Captain Hiccup decided it would be best if he joined the squad. He observed the Black Dragons, and their presence gave him strength; he now had enough to roam around the mansion's corridors and could actually fight.
'I'm alive today, and it's all because of them,' said Henry. 'That's why I feel this way; I don't care what happens to me.'
Everyone heard Dak yelling as he finally broke free from the binding spell.
"He managed to escape Elcat's binding," said Droit.
"I'm going to stop you two no matter what," Dak vowed. "I will tell you back to normal!"
'Yes, I will save him at all costs,' said Henry as he watched. 'I don't care what happens to me. I will save my friend. I swear.'
