6. The Night Fury Finale

Reviews

DJ Rodriguez: Thank you! So glad you still enjoy this. I hope it does encourage you to consider watching the 2022 Batman film.

And yeah, Snotlout running his mouth is not winning him any favors whatsoever. Even if he matures in the future, he remains single for the rest of his life.

And I do hope you understood the scene though. Gobber knows all that he had said, but like he said to Hiccup, he doesn't know who really killed Stoick and Valka.

Now, I hope you enjoy this finale.

SpdrNja: I guess.

Now, on with the story!

The Night Fury Finale

---

The roar of the Dragonmobile is heard as the scene starts with the Point of View shot of the Dragonmobile driving down the street and arriving at the construction site, apparently at the same time as Thuggory who just got out of his car. Thuggory sees the Dragonmobile and approaches the driver side with a confused expression as the Dragon rolled down his window. "Hey." he greeted. This was the first time they were meeting and not on the roof.

"Wait, if Thug's down here," Cami began. "Who's up at the Dragon Signal?"

"That's an excellent question," Wilbur replied from where he was.

"I saw the Signal," the Night Fury explained and looked at Thuggory with confusion. "That's not you?"

"I thought it was you." Thuggory replied as he pulls his jacket and pulls out his gun.

"Well then, that's not exactly comforting." Spitelout remarked.

"Maybe it's a trap." Arnold Hofferson said thoughtfully.

"That's possible. Maybe the Riddler or someone found the bright light thingy." Astrid said, faltering in her answer when she didn't know what the Dragon Signal really was.

The two take the elevator up to the Dragon Signal's floor and both they and the Audience see Catwoman beating Gruffnut Thorston with an inch of his life, punching, kicking him in the face or whacking him with his own gun. And Gruffnut couldn't do anything to defend himself because he was tied up by the Cat's chain-whip. Upon hearing the elevator doors opening, Camicazi turns to look over at the Night Fury. "I found him!" she declared.

"Oh, it's just the cat lady." Gobber said dismissively.

"Wait, she's beating up our cousin!" exclaimed Tuffnut and Ruffnut.

"Man, she sure found him fast." Snotlout said.

"I mean, he's a cop," Fishlegs said. "She probably waited for him to leave that building the cops work at or something."

"But that's our cousin!" protested the Twins.

"Twins, that is not your cousin, just a counterpart or something," said the Twins' father. "And in this world, he's a criminal so consider this his punishment.

"I see that." the Dragon remarked dryly as he and Thuggory walk over to her and Gruffnut.

"Clearly," Heather remarked a bit surprised at seeing the cat burglar on the screen beat the dirty cop.

"He had my shit and my phone." Camicazi declared, pointing the gun at Gruffnut, looking back and forth between the Dragon and the tied up cop. She rants in anger. "She left a message the night they took her. She called me!"

"Meathead! Help me out, man!" Gruffnut cried out upon seeing Thuggory. His face is beaten, bruised and bleeding and there were three bleeding cuts left by the Cat's claw like nails. "She's got my gun!"

"Calm down, she hasn't used it on you," Jack Frost said jokingly.

Camicazi presses the gun against his temple. "Shut up!" she snarled.

"Okay, I take back what I said," Jack said with wide eyes. "Panic."

"Put the gun down." The Night Fury said calmly. Thuggory was clearly letting him take the lead since he wasn't questioning who the Catwoman was, though he did look like he was waiting for answers to be said.

"I'm telling you, God damn it! She called me!" Camicazi declared, looking over to the Dragon. She pulls the gun away, reaches to her pocket and tosses her phone to him. "Here. Listen."

The Night Fury catches it and plays the call. The phone showed the caller ID being Annika. Both Audiences hear the woman's fearful voice whimpering. "Hey, get back here!" shouted Gruffnut's voice on the call. "Where you going? Come back here!"

Annika whimpers in fear more for a few seconds before the voice of Alvin Falcone is heard speaking. "Hey, hey, what are you doing, Gruffnut?" Alvin asked the dirty cop. "You're scaring her."

"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Falcone." Gruffnut apologized with a stutter. Even on the phone it was clear Gruffnut feared the mafia boss.

"Please, please, please." Annika begged on the phone as the Dragon, the Cat and the cop listened to the call. Cami looks like she wants to pace back and forth but keeps herself from moving. "Please, don't hurt me, please."

"Oh that poor lass."

"She sounds so scared."

"Very scared," Pitch Black chuckled from where he sat.

"I feel bad for the cat lady," said Mulch. "She's listening to the final conversation of her friend and can't do anything about it.

"I don't think I want to listen to this. Can I leave the room for a bit?"

"Go right ahead," Gojira gestured to a door way and that one Viking left the theater room while the Host said, "Come back in about three minutes."

"Hey, don't be scared. Come here." Alvin said in a reassuring tone. "Now let me ask you again. What did Larvson tell you?"

"No, nothing. He . . . " Annika tried to deny but Alvin wasn't fooled. "John liked to talk. I know that. Especially to pretty girls like you. That's why I made him take your passport . . . until we could have this little conversation."

"Well, he is right," Sophia Larvson said to her husband. "You do like to talk a lot for everything."

John Larvson sighed when his friends all nodded in agreement around him.

"All I want to do is get out of here, okay?" Annika declared. "You'll never hear from me again, nobody will. Please, please . . ."

"We're gonna get you out of here, I promise." Alvin said, clearly lying, the Audience know given they know what happened to Annika. The mob boss clearly lying to her. "But first, I gotta know . . . What did he tell you?"

"He just said they all made a deal with you." Annika said.

"They?"

"I think she's talking about the system that Colson lad mentioned."

"Oh yeah."

"Oh. Hmm." Alvin hummed in understanding. "He told you about that, huh? The Deal."

"He said you gave some information on some drops thing and that's how he became mayor." Annika went on. "He said you were a very important man."

"Right. Hmm-hmm. Hmm." Alvin hummed so more. "Okay." Suddenly some scuffling was heard before Annika begins screaming and then began choking for air. Camicazi blinks her eyes, trying to force away her tears or sadness and rage.

A few shifted in their seats uncomfortably or visibly disturbed at the woman's screams while a few warriors felt their blood boil, feeling the urge to fight the man even though he was on the screen or rather, just a voice on a phone.

Alvin himself felt a bit of remorse compared to most of the villains on the Villains Balcony.

"Just take it easy." Alvin said softly.

"Jesus, he's strangling her." Thuggory realized.

"Take it easy." Alvin said as Annika is heard slowly cease moving on the call. Then silence.

". . . Rata Alada." The Night Fury said after a moment of silence. Thuggory looks to him in confusion. He turns to him slightly. "A falcon has wings too."

"Falcone is the rat?" Thuggory asked with a raised eyebrow before realizing that it makes sense. He looks down on Gruffnut who had been silent since the call started. "Falcone works for you guys? The mayor? The DA?" Thuggory asked.

"No . . . We work for him." Gruffnut reveals in a grim tone. "Everybody does."

"Everyone?" Stoick repeated.

"Everyone of importance," Gojira replied. "Gruffnut is about to explain."

"How?" Thuggory asked as the Dragon and the Cat look down at him.

"Through Renewal." Gruffnut answered. "Renewal is everything."

"The Renewal Fund?" Thuggory asked for clarification.

"Yeah." Gruffnut nods his head. "After Stoick Haddock died, they all went after it like vultures. The mayor, Falcone, Bludvist. Everyone got in on it. It was perfect for making bribes, laundering money. A huge charitable fund with no oversight. Everybody got a piece. But Falcone wanted more." he explained, looking back and forth between Thuggory and the vigilantes. "So he orchestrated a play to take Bludvist down big. He'd rat out his drops operation, make the careers of everybody that went after him, then install them all as his puppets." He looks at them with a raised eyebrow a shake of his head and shrugged his shoulders as he says, "You think this God damn election matters? Alvin Falcone's the mayor. He's been the mayor for the last 20 years."

"Damn," declared Prince Aemond.

"This guy sounds like a final boss," Fred declared to his friends who nodded in agreement.

"You may think that," Gojira said. "But the more you watch this kind of universe, you'll see that Falcone is a low-level boss."

"Seriously?" Go Go exclaimed incredulously. "What's worse than what we're hearing here?"

Was she asking about the DC Universe as a whole or just Berk City itself? ". . . You'll find out." was all the Host said vaguely.

Bolt looks at Mittens and Rhino. "Weirdly, I kind of wish that the TV series I was in had a villain like that," he muttered. Mittens shrugged while Rhino nodded in agreement. The villains on this screen seemed to be a bit more better written compared to the Green-Eyed Man.

"Well, wouldn't have to worry much," Princess Helena said, kicking her feet back and forth. "His shadow will vanish in the light."

Gojira abruptly turned his head to the High Tower-Targaryen Princess. Rrrriiiiight. He forgot she has prophetic visions of the future. He tilts his head. Should he do something about that? . . . Nah. Hardly anyone really bothers to listen to her. The Host glanced over to Gothi who seemed to have heard her. Though, that might change.

"Come on, Vengeance." Catwoman spoke up, stepping forward. "Let's go kill that son of a bitch." She said when the dragon themed vigilante turned to look at her. She looks at Gruffnut and holds up the gun. "This creep too. Let's finish this."

"Oh God!" Gruffnut cried out in fear.

"NO!" the Night Fury shouts, knocking the gun out of her hand before she could pull the trigger. Cami jumps back to look at him in surprise. "We'll get him. But not that way."

"Wow, he slapped the gun out her hands like some kind of unholy thing."

"I know he said something about not using guns, but that seemed like a bit much."

"There is no other way!" Camicazi protests vehemently. "He owns the city!"

"Cross that line . . . and you'll become just like him." the Night Fury said. Thuggory looks down to the gun on the floor. "Listen to me. Don't throw your life away."

"I'm sorry, what are they arguing about?" Snotlout asked. "I feel like I missed something."

Astrid facepalmed. "They're arguing about killing Alvin Falcone." she said, doing her best to sound patient and that is usually VERY hard to do with Snotlout. "The Night-I mean, Hiccup doesn't want to kill him and just bring him in while Camicazi is saying that killing him is the only option."

Camicazi straightens up slightly. "Don't worry, honey." The usual coy was gone from her voice. She steps to the Night Fury and then raises her left leg to plant her foot on Gruffnut's chest. She turns to look at the Night Fury and declares, "I got nine of 'em." And then she kicks Gruffnut off the ledge while shoving the Night Fury back.

"Oh for Odin's sake," Hiccup muttered in a exasperated tone.

Camicazi chuckled next to him in a sheepish manner.

"No, don't!" Thuggory shouts as he and the Night Fury dive down to grab Gruffnut by his legs before he could fall to his death. "Hey, hey!"

"Oh God!" Gruffnut cries out and began whimpering in fear as he hangs upside down. The Audience sees Catwoman run to the edge and jump off, grab onto a crane's cable line and slide down to the ground.

"Thor's Hammer, that was close."

"Well, hopefully that near-death experience will have the lad rethink his life choices."

"One can dream."

"She just jumped off the building!"

"Camicazi!" Bertha scolded the screen.

"I didn't even do anything!" the Bog Burglar heir protested playfully while her friends snickered.

"She won't get out of there alive." Thuggory said to the Night Fury after they pull the whimpering Gruffnut to safety. "And if she kills Falcone, we may never find the Riddler."

"Oh yeah, the Riddler."

"I almost forgot about him."

"Well, I guess they do need to bring Alvin alive."

"I have to stop her." The Night Fury declared.

Thuggory looks up at him in confusion. "Don't you mean "we"?" he asked.

"I gotta do this my way." the Dragon said.

"And then what?" Thuggory asked next. "We do what Riddler said." replied the Night Fury as he gives Thuggory his gun back. "Bring the rat into the light." He detaches his grappling hook, hooks it onto the construction beam while attaching it to his belt and then glancing back at Thuggory briefly before jumping off the ledge. His grappling keeps him from falling, the Audience then watch as the Night Fury runs down the wall of the construction site like he's Adam West.

"Hiccup!" Stoick tried to scold or shout in worry that his son jumped off the building without adjusting his wing suit or whatever he's wearing before sighing at what he saw on the screen. This boy was going to give him a heart attack.

Daemon and Laena chuckled as did Baela, Rheana and Toothless on the Dragons' Balcony. This seemed like something Hiccup would try to do if he was able to.

"I feel like that clip of him running on the wall is supposed to be a reference or something." Penny said, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

---

The scene changes to the front of the Iceberg Lounge, the roar of a motorcycle engine is heard before Catwoman drives into view and then parks inside a garage. She takes off her biker's helmet and then shrugs off her backpack. She opens it up and reaches inside to pull out a gun. She pulls out a magazine and loads it into the pistol. She then unzips her catsuit.

"I hope she at least has a plan," Hiccup said. Bertha nodded in agreement.

"I'm probably making it up as she goes," Camicazi shrugged.

"Knowing you, yeah, that sounds about right." Thuggory stated.

The scene then changes to show Camicazi walking to the elevator inside the Lounge, wearing a black trench coat over her shiny black corset. "Can you tell Mr. Falcone I'd like to come up?" she asked the guard with a near emotionless tone.

The guard shakes his head. "He ain't seein' nobody tonight."

"Tell him it's about Annika." Cami said, narrowing her eyes a bit. This gets the guard to tense a bit.

"Yeah, that'd work." said the three Viking heirs.

"Oh, I hope the lass knows what she's doing."

"She seems so."

The scene then changes to Alvin's penthouse. The mentioned mob boss is shown walking with his arms spread out with a smile. "Hey!" he greeted cheerfully. "Look who it is, huh?"

Camicazi walks towards him with an impassive expression. "Sorry to bother you." she said flatly.

"Nah. It's fine, beautiful." Alvin dismissed.

"I was just hoping I could talk to you for a minute?" Camicazi asked.

"Absolutely." Alvin said, thinking nothing of it.

"Alone?" Cami asked after a moment.

"Hook, line and sinker," Alvin sighed, rubbing his head. Maybe his counterpart has it coming, but he sure wasn't looking forward to seeing himself get killed by a woman, a counterpart of that Bog Burglar lass.

KNOCK. KNOCK.

Ruffnut opens the door entrance to the Iceberg Lounge. Only to see no one there. She walks outside in confusion, looking left and right before she and the Audience see a shadow walk into the Lounge. The female Thorston tries to reach and stop the door before it closes, "Hey!" she shouts but it is too late.

"What the-?"

"Who'd knock on the door and leave?"

"Ah, blasted kids, I hate when they do that."

"Hey!" Ruffnut shouted when seeing the door close to her counterpart.

"Wait, who's that?"

Club music is heard playing on speakers as Hiccup walks through the crowd, unmasked and dressed like a drifter with grease paint over his eyes. He then walks into a door that is restricted to customers. Tuffnut Thorston sees him walk into the door and follows after him.

"Oh, it was Hiccup," Stoick said.

"I should've known," Gobber said. "The lad can be a master of sneaking in and out of places when he puts the effort."

Daemon and his daughters nodded. Looks like their training had paid off.

"I bet he'd be a pro at Assassin's Creed," Fred said eagerly.

However as soon as he steps into the red light room, he is knocked out cold by two punches from the disguised Night Fury who continues to walk down the hall.

"Oh come on! Seriously?" Tuffnut exclaimed indignantly while others laughed or chuckled at his expanse.

---

"I'm just so worried." The scene changed back to Alvin's penthouse, Camicazi sitting on the couch and acting distraught and looking like she's about to cry. "I-I don't know where she is." She told Alvin. "And I know that you're a very important man." she said, repeating Annika's words to him.

"I was hoping that maybe you could help me find her . . . because she's been gone so long, i'm beginning to . . ." The Audience see Alvin looking down on her, perhaps a bit conflicted about to do here. Then Cami is the main focus as she covers her mouth with her right hand, acting like she's stifling her sobs. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Alvin said in an impassive tone. "I'm so sorry." Cami 'sobbed.'

"Oh, well, she's sure fooling me."

"She sure does sound like a distraught woman looking for her friend."

"She might need to work on her eye expressions, just a bit." Penny said.

"I understand. Here." Alvin offer her a tissue.

Camicazi shakes her head. "No, that's okay, I have a tissue." She said and then reached to her backpack.

"And by tissue, she means a gun." Jack remarked.

"Hasta la vista, baby." Dash said in a robotic tone with an Austrian accent, putting on a pair of sunglasses. "You are terminated."

Violet looks at her brother in confusion. "Where'd you get those glasses."

"Magic," Dash said, waving his hands dramatically.

Just as she was about to pull her gun out, however, one of Alvin's men walked into the room. "Mr. Falcone?"

"Vinnie!" Alvin snapped as he turned to face the man in an angry tone, unaware the interruption was preventing Camicazi to pull her gun out. "Didn't I tell you?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Falcone." Vinnie said respectfully. He gestures to the room behind him. "I really think you're gonna want to see this."

"Damn."

"She almost had him."

"And saved by the bell," Hiro sighed.

Some Vikings look at him in confusion. "But there was no bell," Bucket said. "There was a man named Vinnie."

"It's an expression related to a sport called boxing," Honey Lemon explained. "We'll explain later."

"I'm sorry, beautiful." Alvin apologized as he turns back to look at Cami who did her best to not show her real emotions. "I'll be right back." With that the mafia boss walks out of the room.

---

Hiccup was shown, kneeling down in front of the Iceberg Lounge's power box, shrugging off his backpack and then pulling out a pair of heavy duty metal cutters and gets to opening the power box.

Indistinct chatter was heard faintly as Alvin looks at something out of view from the Audience. "Holy shit." Alvin muttered.

And then the Audience see what it is. A news channel, Berk General, broadcasting Annika's last phone call/conversation with Alvin Falcone. "That recording, provided by BC-1 by Lieutenant Thuggory Meathead of the Berk PD." A reporter said and the bottom of the screen says RECLUSIVE CRIME BOSS RECORDED COMMITTING MURDER ADMITS BEING MAFIA INFORMANT "And we should warn you, the contents are extremely graphic and some of you may find it disturbing." the female reporter added before the TV screen changes to show a photo of Annika labeled as 'Mystery Woman' and Alvin Falcone as 'Crime boss' with their dialog being subtitled in between their photos.

Alvin stares at the screen with wide eyes before slowly turning his head to look at Vinnie before Annika's last scream is heard on the screen.

"And it was that moment," Fred spoke up dramatically. "Alvin knew . . . he messed up."

The scream transitions to Hiccup cutting through the club's power box with a buzzsaw blade, sparks fly everywhere from the action.

"Wow, that was a transition." Penny commented.

"Revelations of Mr. Falcone's secret role as a mafia informant . . ." the male news reporter is heard speaking out of view as the Audience see Camicazi walking out of the room, her gun trained on Alvin. "Hey, Dad." she said emotionlessly.

Alvin and Vinnie turn to look at her in surprise and confusion. "What?" the former asked.

"You need to pay the child support." Helen said and Bob snorted.

"I'm Bertha Kyle's kid." Camicazi replied, her gun still trained on Alvin. "You remember her?"

". . . Yeah." Alvin replied, slowly rising his hands up in a placating manner. "Just . . . Just put down the gun, honey." he said.

But Camicazi wasn't having it. "This is for my mother." With that, she pulls the trigger.

BANG!

But Alvin ducks down and manages to not get shot just as the lights of the room go off. And it wasn't just there. The whole club's lights went out like candles.

"Oh God damn it! She missed!"

"She didn't miss, the bastard just dove out of the way!"

"The lights went out too soon!"

"The lass almost had him!"

Suspenseful music plays in the background as the Audience see the Night Fury pulling the elevator doors open and then aims his grappling hook up the shaft and firing. Back inside the penthouse, Camicazi slowly walks through the room that was lit by the city lights outside the building. Then Vinnie jumped at her from the shadows and tried to wrestle the gun out of her hands while Alvin was seen running away.

Cami breaks out of Vinnie's grip and kicks the man three times before throwing him down, causing her wig to fall off. She runs into the other room after Alvin and pulls the trigger.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

She missed as Alvin manages to dive out of the way and hide behind one of the counters of his private bar that tanks the gunfire.

"Oh come on!" Camicazi exclaimed in frustration.

"Wow, for an old man, he sure can tuck and roll real quick." Wilbur commented.

"I guess getting shot in the chest in the past motivated him to react quicker to move faster than a speeding bullet." Violet remarked.

The gunshots are heard by his men out in the hallway. They all turn to the direction the gun shots are heard coming from.

"Hey! Hey!" One of the men exclaimed.

"What the Hell was that?" Another asked.

"What happened with the lights?" another demanded.

"Oh no," Bertha said. If those men get into the office, her daughter will be outnumbered.

DING!

The elevator dings behind the group of henchmen. The elevator opens but is revealed to be empty. The only person with a flashlight pulls out his gun and slowly approaches the elevator. Upon entering, he looks left and right for anyone. Then he looks up and sees the Night Fury hanging on the wall and had about two seconds before the Dragon pounced on him. The Audience then see the Night Fury stomping on the phone, plunging the whole hallway into darkness.

"Now this is the Night Fury's domain," Hiccup said, nodding his head as most of the Berkians and even Grimmel remembered how the Night Fury attacks in the dark of the night with shudders or shivers of fear.

"This thing never shows itself and never misses."

"Where is he?!" Asked one of the men as the Audience watch the Night Fury fight the thugs whenever the gunfire produced light to illuminate the hallway. "I can't see him!" shouted another. Despite this, it was clear that the Dragon was winning the fight before the hall was illuminated as the two final henchmen fire their automatic rifles at the Dragon whose armor withheld against the gunfire and walked towards them before the screen goes dark.

"Yikes, wouldn't want to be them," Fishlegs muttered since he was a bit scared of the dark.

Astrid, while impressed, was a bit disappointed that the screen went dark the way it did. She was looking forward to seeing the Night Fury (The vigilante, not the dragon.) in action again after what felt like an hour.

It's like a reference to Rogue One if you've seen it.

Meanwhile Camicazi was still on the hunt for Alvin in the dark, gun at the ready. She stalks for one minute before turning around and then got whacked in the face by Alvin's pool stick. She groaned in pain as Alvin stood over her. "You don't think this hurts me?" he asked before he leans down and pins her down with his pool stick on her throat. "My own flesh and blood, huh?" he asked mockingly as he began to choke her.

"Cami!" both Hiccup and Thuggory exclaimed in worry for their fellow heir and friend.

"That bastard!" Bertha exclaimed in anger at seeing her daughter getting pinned and wanted to strangling the man.

Camicazi gasped and choked before reaching up to Alvin's face in a desperate manner before dragging her claw-like nails down the right side of his face. This caused Alvin to scream in pain before recoiling away from her. Camicazi gasped for air but it didn't last long as Alvin started strangling her with his bare hands in a manner that cut off her oxygen and that made it hard for to think clearly.

"That was clever while it lasted."

"Makes me want to grow my nails that long," commented a Viking woman and a few others nodded. Those that had husbands, their spouses shivered at the thought. Well, some of them did.

"Someone help her!"

"You made me do this." Alvin said, shaking his head slightly after a moment as Cami struggled weakly in his grip. "Just like your mother."

Most of the Audience stiffened in surprise. None more than Camicazi and Bertha themselves.

"Yikes."

"Killed her mother and her friend. . ."

"That. . . I have a few words to say, yet I don't think they'll be enough to describe him."

"Of all the the people that'd killed her, he was not really near the top of that list," Honey Lemon said.

"We hear him kill her friend on the phone but now he's practically confessing that he killed her mother, and he's practically the mayor of the city," Go Go shook her head in disgust and anger. "As if you couldn't think he'd stoop any lower than that."

"No wonder he didn't say anything when Social Services took her from the club," Mrs. Forester said, shaking her head and glaring at the man. "That scum has no heart."

Just as Cami was about to close her eyes, Alvin was suddenly pulled away from her by the hand on his shoulder. Turning around Alvin saw the Night Fury before he was punched in the face and was knocked off his feet.

"Yes! Get him, lad!" cheered Daemon, Laena, Gobber and Stoick.

"Whoo!" whooped Thuggory, Baela and Rheana and the other teens.

Meanwhile, among the dragons, "Get that mother-!" roared a certain Strike Class dragon before he was interrupted by a Gronckle, the one from the arena.

"Toothless, there are hatchlings here!"

"Zip it, you pudgy sausage! Let me enjoy my brother's triumph over the twisted human." Toothless retorted.

"Pudgy sausage?!" the Gronckle exclaimed, clearly offended.

"Thank you, Hiccup," Bertha said to the Viking teen after she sighed in relief. Hiccup nodded to her, feeling relieved himself that his counterpart had saved Cami's before the Camicazi next to him kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks, Hic." He blinked in surprise before blushing. "N-No problem, Cami." Camicazi giggled at his reaction, turning her head away with an embarrassed smile.

Cami shook her head before rising to her feet and grabbed the gun from the floor. Before she could aim, the Dragon was there, wrestling the gun from her grip with one hand while wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "He has to pay!" she shouted angrily.

Alvin on the floor was the main focus before it switched to the Dragon and Camicazi. "You don't have to pay with him." the Night Fury said softly. Cami keeps on struggling and looks up at him with angry watery eyes. "You paid enough." he added.

"Uh, what?" Snotlout asked.

"She grew up an orphan and a thief because of him," Hiccup said. "I guess it's best she doesn't kill because of him."

Cami stares up at him and her struggles stop. The gun in her hands became the main focus on the screen before Cami slowly let go of it.

---

Many club patrons were shown looking at the Fourth Wall as the screen (Cameraman) moves past them as they were there themselves. The screen then flips to show Alvin being escorted through the Iceberg Lounge with the Night Fury, his arms handcuffed behind him. After a moment, Alvin scoffs and laughs mockingly. "Jesus. Look at you, man. What do you think this is?" he asked the Night Fury. "You think you're gonna scare me with that mask and that cape? I'm gonna start crying, and all of a sudden, some big secret's comin' out?"

"I mean. . . Yeah?" Rapunzel shrugged in response.

"Let me tell you something." He stops walking and faces the Dragon with a defiant expression. "Whatever I know, whatever I've done, it's all going down with me to my grave." he declared. The Night Fury stares at him before forcing the mob boss to continue walking.

"I guess we'll hold you to that." Jack said with a shrug.

"Aye. No objection to that." Merida nodded her head.

The Audience then sees someone standing in front of the two at the entrance of the Iceberg Lounge. "What, are you with Zorro over here?" Alvin asked with a mocking laugh, gesturing to the Dragon behind him. The Audience sees that it's Thuggory. Alvin shakes his head at the cop. "Don't you know that you boys in blue work for me?"

"Who in Thor's name is Zorro?" Gobber asked.

"A man from the 1700's or so, dressed in black with a cape and a sword," Bob answered. "Fights criminals and steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Like Robin Hood."

". . . Who's Robin Hood?" the two-limbed blacksmith asked after blinking owlishly.

Bob stared at the Viking before sighing with a shake of his head. "Nevermind."

Thuggory silently escorts Alvin through the doors where they see dozens of Berk's cops standing outside, waiting for them. Alvin looks at them all while Thuggory says, "I guess we don't all work for you."

"Wow." was the general reaction to seeing all the cops outside the Iceberg Lounge.

"I wish we could see his face right now. I bet he's surprised." Prince Lucerys said with a snort.

"Guess they were tired of being his pocket puppets." Prince Aegon II said.

"Goes to show to never be too cocky about what power you believe to have." King Viserys said.

"You have the right to remain silent." Thuggory said in a professional tone as Martinez walks up the steps toward Alvin. "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, the City of Berk will provide one for you. Do you understand these rights?"

Alvin looks back at the Iceberg Lounge and sees Camicazi standing near the entrance. She stares back at him with an indifferent expression. "Do you understand?" Thuggory asked.

Alvin gives him a smug expression. He nods his head. "Yeah. I'll see you when I walk out." he said nonchalantly.

"Keep telling yourself that," Daenerys said.

"He's being brought into the light," Princess Helena said. "His shadow's not going to stay for much longer."

Thuggory gives him a flat look, exchanging an look with the Night Fury before continuing to speak to Alvin in a professional tone. "With these rights in mind, is there anything else you wish to tell . . .?"

Suddenly, Savage and the Thorston Twins walk out of the Iceberg Lounge. "Goddamn rat." the Penguin sneered, interrupting Thuggory.

Thuggory, the Night Fury and Alvin turn to look at the mobster. "What'd you say?" Alvin asked.

"Enjoy your night at Black Gate, Alvin." Savage said in an undermining threatening tone. "Probably be your last."

"Oh-ho. So you're a big man, now Savage?" Alvin asked mockingly with a laugh.

Savage shrugs his shoulders slightly. "Maybe I am." he replied.

Alvin tilts his head at him. "Really, Sav? Because to me, you were always just a gimp in an empty suit." he said mockingly with a shake of his head.

His face contorting in anger, Savage reaches into his jacket and pulls out his gun. "I'll spray paint your ass!" he shouted and then-

"He's got a gun!" Jack exclaimed dramatically.

"Everyone, get down!" Elsa shouted.

BANG!

The Night Fury tackles Alvin to the ground. When he lifted his head, it appeared to be too late. He looks over to the Penguin who was now pinned to the ground by the surrounding cops. "What are you doing? It wasn't me!" the Penguin protests. "I didn't shoot! I didn't shoot! Get your hands off me."

"Does he really think they'll believe him?" Astrid asked. "We all saw him pull the gun out."

"But we didn't see if he was the one who pulled the trigger." Hiro pointed out. He turns to Baymax. "Baymax replay the footage and slow the recording down." he ordered.

"Of course," Baymax complied as the screen on his chest activated and replayed what the Audience had seen. Hiro studied the footage along with his friends before nodding his head. "Yup. The Penguin didn't pull the trigger. Falcone was shot by someone else."

"But if Falcone didn't shoot him," Penny said, she and Hiro looking at each other. "Who did?"

The Dragon looks down at Alvin with wide eyes of concern. Alvin breathes hoarsely before dropping his head down for the final time. The Night Fury stares down at him for a long moment while the cops and civilians clamor around him. But then he notices the light above him flickering. He looks up and sees the street light. ". . . Bring him into the light." he said in realization before he slowly turns to look across the street. "And you'll find where I'm at."

Hiccup snapped his fingers. "The Riddler, of course! I should've remembered!"

"Truth be told, I forgot all about all the Riddler."

"Aye, me too."

Then he and the Audience see someone standing in the view of the top floor window with the light on. He wasn't the only one to see. "There!" Martinez shouts pointing up to the window. "The shots came from up there!"

The Night Fury stands to his feet, not taking his eyes off the window. "It's Riddler." he declared. Thuggory glances upward at the window.

"Gage, on me." Thuggory said to his fellow cops as the Night Fury hurries across the street. "Martinez, around back. Nobody gets in there, nobody gets out!"

Then the Audience sees Camicazi walking over to the body of Alvin. She stares down at the body of her dead boy for a short moment before looking up as if to say sarcastically, 'Well, my dad's dead now. I didn't do it. And he got what he deserved.'

Most of the Audience had the same reactions as Camicazi's counterpart. This Alvin got what he deserved.

---

The scene changes to the hallway of the apartment before a grappling hook breaks through the window at the end of the hall with a crash. The grappling hook is then pulled back until it hooks onto the window frame and radiator. Then the Night Fury swings through the window and shatters it upon entry. He then slowly approaches the suspected room the shooter/Riddler was in before entering.

Eerie music began to play as the Dragon moves through the room, looking at the whole apartment and he sees something painted on one of the window curtains. A question mark symbol. If there were any doubts about this being the Riddler's room, they were swept away from seeing the Riddler's symbol. The Dragon then walks to a window and looks down at the street but sees nothing out of the ordinary.

"Yeah, that's his home alright." Hiccup remarked as he mentally took note in what the apartment looks like.

"Well, that looks messier than what I've seen of my kids' bedroom."

"You can say that again."

"I've seen kids' rooms tidier than the Riddler's."

"What a complete slob."

A dog is heard barking somewhere out in the streets before the cops burst in ready for action until they see the Night Fury. Thankfully, with Thuggory leading the whole thing, the cops don't act and Thuggory steps forward as the Dragon walks past him briskly.

Bolt and Mittens perked up at hearing the dog barking. It was faint but it sounded like he was saying something about someone getting away.

"He's gone." he declared.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." Snotlout remarked.

They all then take in what's in the room. One wall was covered with numerous newspaper clippings and other photos. The shelves were all filled with notebooks, one of them covering the Renewal Fund. Both Thuggory and the dragon themed vigilante walked over to one window and saw that it looked directly across the street to the Iceberg Lounge. "He's been here this whole time?"

"Well, that makes sense."

"Explains how he took the photos of John earlier."

"Photos? What photos?" Bucket asked.

Then one of the cops spoke up. "Lieutenant. Martinez." he said to Thuggory.

Thuggory grabbed his radio. "Yeah?"

"Lieutenant, we got a witness here, she says she saw someone coming down the fire escape right after the shot." Martinez's voice said on the radio. "She said he went into the corner diner. The guy's sitting by himself at the counter, right now." Both Thuggory and the Night Fury share a look.

The same look was shared with Hiccup and his friends. Is this just smoke or is it the real thing?

---

Tense music plays as the scene changes to show the mentioned corner dinner, the Riddler was shown sitting at the counter and ordering something from the waitress before the cops were shown, approaching through the rain to the door.

The Riddler is shown, his back to the Audience, wearing a dark blue rain coat, fiery orange hair and the Audience could see he was wearing glasses. He was stirring a spoon in his coffee before the diner's door opens up out of view.

"Police! Hands up!" Martinez shouts from out of view. The man remained in his seat as if he didn't hear the cop's order.

"He said put your God damn hands up, you son of a bitch." Thuggory's voice spoke next in an angry tone. The man slowly complied, raising his hands and then slowly turned around but the screen turned to his back when he turned to see the diner filled with all of Berk's cops.

Then the screen flipped to his front and the Audience saw his face. He looked to be in his early twenties.

"I just ordered a slice of pumpkin pie," Buddy Pines said in an innocent tone.

Bob furrowed his brow at seeing the Riddler's face before he heard the man's voice. He felt like he should know that face. He raked his brain before the memory of a young boy who kept on wanting to be his sidekick. "Buddy?"

Meanwhile in the Villains Balcony, Syndrome felt very smug about being the villain in this story.

He was then shoved to the counter by Martinez. "Stay still! Now!" the cop demanded harshly. The screen then focused on Buddy's face as he made mock surprise expressions, silently gasping as he was handcuffed by the cop. Then as the cops search his pockets, Buddy sees the Night Fury walking up to the diner's front window and staring at him. He smiles at the Dragon with glee and excitement before Martinez holds up two wallets with two different IDs in them up to the man's face.

Barnes, Phineas

Pines, Buddy

"Which one is you?" Martinez demanded.

"Hehehe! You tell me." Buddy chuckled in a mocking tone.

Martinez glares at him before sneering. "Let's go, pencil neck!"

"Get that son of a bitch out of here!" Thuggory's voice ordered as the Audience's view focuses on Buddy's drink. The cup was white with green edges filled with coffee and cream. The music turns eerie and sinister as the Audience see the question mark that is written within the whipped cream.

"Well, if there's any doubt before, it's gone now," Hiro stated, a bit unnerved at hearing the background music.

"But that doesn't make sense though," Penny said. "Why let himself get caught after killing the Rata Alaada?"

"He has something else in mind," Violet said. "He must be planning something."

---

". . . where even murdered mayor John Larvson Jr.'s wife and son have gathered in an emotional show of city unity." The news was played on a phone's screen and there was footage of Gustuave and his mother standing on a stage with Bella Re'al. "Our Dan O'Neil is live inside Re'al's headquarters right now . . ." Just then the Audience sees the Night Fury walk past the distracted cop in the background.

"Hey." Martinez said when he saw the Dragon walk past him. The Night Fury ignores him and walks into the Riddler's apartment as it was going under investigation by the cops and detectives.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Hiccup asked in a sassy tone.

"I'm great, thanks for asking. How about you?" Jack asked, playing along.

"Very stressed," Hiccup said. "And mentally exhausted. I am not paid enough in my line of work."

"What are all these diaries?" Thuggory asked in confusion. The Dragon picks up one book and begins to read it and one of the cops notices.

"They're ledgers. He's got thousands." the detective from the beginning of the viewing replied as he was inspecting one such ledger. "He's scrawled all over 'em. Rambling, ciphers, codes."

"Got something back on one of the IDs." spoke up a woman who glanced at her phone. "Buddy Pines. Works at the KTMJ. He's a forensic accountant."

"Accountant?" Thuggory repeated incredulously.

"I guess this shows what a serial killer can really be anyone in society." Go Go remarked.

"Hey, Lieutenant!" called one of the cops who stood next to the Night Fury. When Thuggory looks towards him, the cop gestures to the Dragon who was reading the notebook in his hand. "You really okay with this? What about chain of evidence?"

The Night Fury turns around and looks up to Thuggory. "You should see this."

Walking over, Thuggory briefly glances at the cop. "He's wearing gloves." He said before taking the notebook from the dragon themed vigilante. "Friday, July 16th. My life has been a cruel riddle I could not solve, suffocating my mind, no escape. But then, today I saw it. A single word on this ledger, sitting on the desk beside me."

"'Renewal.'" Thuggory read as the Night Fury looks around, observing every detail on the Riddler's conspiracy wall. "The empty promise they sold to me as a child in that orphanage. One look inside, and I finally understood. My whole life has been preparing me for this."

"The moment when I would learn the truth." On one of the desks in the room was a manneqin with a winter jacket on with a gas mask that had three tubes attached to the bottom with three words written in red on the tubes, NO MORE LIES. "When I could finally strike back and expose their lies."

Rats are heard squeaking. "If you want people to understand, really understand, you can't just give them the answers." The Night Fury turns to the direction of the noise and sees a cage on a table. "You have to confront them, torture them with the horrifying questions, just like they tortured me. I know now what I must become."

"This strangely sounds like something that Hiccup's counterpart was writing in his journal," Stoick said, a bit unnerved by the screen.

"That be because of some inspiration," Helena said to Queen Alicent.

"Jesus." Thuggory muttered to himself, deeply disturbed by what he read. A screeching is heard from the rat cage as the Night Fury crouches down to look inside. Thuggory briefly glances to his direction. "I don't think that rat likes you, man." he remarked.

"This one's not a rat." the Night Fury said, eyes not looking away from what he sees in the cage. "It's a creature of the night sky. Like me."

"Creature of the night?"

"I get that Night Furies seem to attack at night, but the lad's still human."

"But what is he talking about?"

Thuggory looks over to him in confusion before the Audience is shown what it is. It was a bat, its fur and skin black like the night sky with tiny but sharp fangs in its mouth. The Dragon opens up the cage and reaches in to the object that was taped to the top of the cage. It was another envelope that was addressed as To the Night Fury.

"Oh, a bat. That makes more sense."

"Despite the screeching, it looks adorable," Helena cooed at the screen.

Meanwhile Thuggory and the detective were studying the silver metal tool that was attached to the back of the envelope. "Some kind of pry tool?" Thuggory guessed.

"Is it a chisel?" the detective asked.

"It's a murder weapon." the Night Fury replied, getting the two men's attention. "He killed Larvson with it. The edge will match the floorboard impression in the mayor's study." He explained as he opened up the envelope. This time, the card looked like a Valentine's Day card. Just for you. The front of it said and the inside only had two simple words. My confession.

Thuggory looked at the card and furrowed his brow. "My confession?" he asked, turning to the dragon themed vigilante. "What's he confessing to? He already told us he killed Larvson."

"This isn't over." replied the Night Fury.

"Oh great. What's it going to be this time?"

"Nothing good I imagine."

"Oh, man. He's been posting all kinds of shit online." said a forensic detective as he was at the laptop on the desk as he turned to look at the others. "He's got, like, 500 followers. Real fringe types."

The Night Fury looked around at the conspiracy wall that was titled THE TRUTH ABOUT BERK while the Audience hear the conversation between the forensic detective and Thuggory.

"His final post was last night." the forensic detective explained. "Some video. Got a lot of views but it's password-protected."

"Can you get in?" Thuggory asked. "Copying his drive now. Takes some time, but we'll get in."

The Night Fury looked at the wall and saw one message left by the Riddler. IF ONLY I KNEW THEN . . . WHAT I KNOW NOW . . . Then the Dragon and the Audience see one newspaper article entitled as Berk Terrorized: Who is the Night Fury? Next was another message from the Riddler. I KNOW THE REAL YOU . . .

Hiccup stilled at that. He looks to his friends. "You don't think he's talking about what I think he's talking about, is he?"

"If what you're thinking what he is talking about is the same as what I'm thinking he is talking about, probably," Fred said.

"If you think about it," Hiro replied. "The evidence is kind of there. Only someone with a lot of money would be able to buy all the stuff the Night Fury has. The grappling hooks, the taser gauntlets, the flight suit, the bulletproof armor, the eye contact-camera lens, the Dragonmobile, it would cost a lot of money. And from the sounds of it, your counterpart is one of the richest people in this city."

"He also has an athletic build," Bob spoke up. "And we've seen that he has scars and bruises despite being very reclusive."

"And he also has a valid reason for wanting to be criminals with his bare hands," Helen added. "So it doesn't seem completely out of the norm for some people to connect the dots."

"How comforting," Daemon said dryly.

The screen focused on the Night Fury's masked face as he stared at that particular message. "Show me the post." Thuggory said.

"It's right here." the detective said, pointing to the video.

"The Truth Unmasked." Thuggory read the video's title before the Night Fury spoke up in thought. "I think I'm his last target."

Thuggory looks at him in confusion. "You?"

"Maybe this is all coming to an end." the Night Fury said vaguely.

"What is?" Thuggory asked.

"The Night Fury." the Dragon replied before Thuggory's phone began ringing in his pocket. Giving his ally one last look, Thug pulled out his phone. "Yeah?" Thuggory replied in a questioning tone as the Dragon looked at him as if understanding what the caller was saying. "Right."

The cop gives the dragon themed vigilante a look. "Riddler's asking for you. At Arkham." he said.

The Night Fury was silent as he turned away from the wall and then patted Thuggory on the shoulder. "You're a good cop." he declared in a tone of respect before walking away and Thuggory watches his retreating form in concern and confusion.

"Well, thanks, Hic, but you didn't have to say it like it's a goodbye," Thuggory said.

"It's probably better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best," Hiccup replied.

---

Much like the conversation with the Joker, the scene starts with a metal sheet door sliding open in front of the Night Fury to reveal Buddy Pines, the Riddler sitting down in his chair in his cell. His wrists were handcuffed and there was a chain that went to a loop around his neck and cuffs on his ankles with a prison suit.

The Dragon glares at him apathetically while Buddy seems to smile at him slightly. He holds up his handcuffed wrists. "I told you I'd see you in Hell."

"Well, at least he didn't mean the actual Hell."

"What do you want from me?" the Night Fury asked calmly.

"Want?" Buddy repeated. "If only you knew how long I've been waiting for this day. For this moment."

"I've been invisible my whole life." He went on. "I guess I won't be anymore, will I? They'll remember me now. They'll remember both of us."

Hiccup furrowed his brow before his eyes widened. "The Joker's right." he said, getting people to look at him. "He said that the Riddler was a nobody that wants to be somebody."

"Hiccup . . . Haddock." Buddy suddenly said slowly. "Hhhiiicccuuuuupp . . . Haaddoocck." He drawled dramatically as the Audience see the Night Fury tensing his shoulders and subtly glancing at the security camera at the corner of the room that was looking at the prisoner. "You know, I was there that day. The day the great Stoick Haddock announced he was running for mayor, made all those promises."

"Well, a week later he was dead, and everybody just forgot about us." Buddy wen on in a bitter tone. "All they could talk about was poor Hiccup Haddock. Hiccup Haddock, the orphan. Orphan. Living in some tower over the park isn't being an orphan. Looking down on everyone with all that money. Don't you tell me."

"Do you know what being an orphan is?" Buddy asked the Night Fury rhetorically. "It's 30 kids to a room. Twelve years old and already a drophead, numbing the pain. You wake up screaming with rats chewing your fingers. And every winter one of the babies die because it's so cold. But, oh, no." Buddy shakes his head. "Let's talk about the billionaire with the lying dead daddy because at least the money makes it go down easy. Doesn't it?"

The Guardians made some sympathetic expressions as they remembered all the orphaned children that live in conditions like what the Riddler was describing.

"The Joker also said something about all his victims being people that wronged him," Hiro said in realization.

"And the stolen lunch money was the money from Renewal." Jack said next.

"Hiccup . . . Haddock." Buddy said dramatically again and the Night Fury tenses again, preparing for the worst before Buddy said, "He's the only one we didn't get. But we got the rest of 'em, didn't we?" he asked with a small smile as if the fact was a small victory. "All those slick, sleazy, phony pricks."

The Night Fury resisted the urge to sigh in relief. So the Riddler does not know who is. He believes that Hiccup Haddock and the Night Fury are two different people.

"Okay, he doesn't know," Gobber said in relief.

"But I thought the 'evidence' was all there," Stoick said in confusion.

"There's a chance that Buddy here doesn't want to see it that way." Penny said.

"God. Look at you. Your mask is amazing. I wish you could've seen me in mine." Buddy said, looking at the Dragon in awe. "Ain't it funny? All anyone wants to do is unmask you, but they're missing the point. You and I both know I'm looking at the real you right now. My mask allowed me to be myself completely." He shakes his head. "No shame. No limits."

"Why did you write me?" The Night Fury asked.

Buddy looks at him in confusion. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"All those cards." the Night Fury clarified.

"I told you, we've been doing this together. You're a part of this." Buddy replied.

"We didn't do anything together." the Dragon shook his head slightly.

"We did." Buddy said, nodding his head frantically. "What did we just do? I asked you to bring him into the light and you did. We're such a good team."

"I mean, he's not exactly wrong there."

"But the lad didn't even know that's what the Riddler wanted."

"But he wrote it on that card."

"That still doesn't mean they're a team."

"We're not a team." the Night Fury denied.

"I never could have gotten him out of there. I'm not physical. My strength is up here." Buddy admitted, pointing to the side of his head."I mean, I had all the pieces, I had the answers. But I didn't know how to make them listen. You gave me that."

"What is he on about?" Laena said.

"I gave you nothing." the Night Fury declared.

"You showed me what was possible." Buddy stood up from his seat and leaned in close to the cell's window. "You showed me all it takes is fear and a little focused violence. You inspired me."

"Holy Seven Hells," Baela declared. "The Joker was right again! He said that there's a possibility that the Riddler was a fan of the Night Fury."

"You're out of your God damn mind." the Night Fury declared.

Buddy pauses and looks at him in confusion. "What?"

"This is all in your head." the Dragon snarled. Though there was a bit of desperation under all that. He refused to believe he gave some inspiration to a serial killer. "You're sick, twisted."

"How can you say that?" now Buddy sounded genuinely hurt and confused.

"Wow, he sounds very hurt by the Night Fury." Astrid said.

He's learning the lesson I learned, Syndrome thought to himself grimly. You can't count on anyone. Especially your heroes.

"You think you'll be remembered?" the Night Fury asked rhetorically. "You're a pathetic psychopath, begging for attention."

"No." Buddy shook his head. "You're gonna die alone in Arkham." the Night Fury went on.

"No. No, no!" Buddy moved away from the window. "A nobody!" the Night Fury declared.

"No!" Buddy shouts and begins pacing in his cell, glaring at the Dragon in betrayal. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! This is not how this was supposed to go! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! I had it all planned out!" He shouts while pacing. "We were gonna be safe here! We could watch the whole thing together."

"Wait, what?"

"Watch the whole thing?"

"Watch what?"

The Night Fury paused and looked at him. "Watch what?"

"Everything!" the Riddler snapped gesturing to the window of his cell, to the outside world.

"That doesn't narrow it down," Wilbur shouted to the screen.

Tense music plays again as Buddy approaches the window, staring at the Night Fury in a different light who stares back at him in confusion. "It was all there." Buddy said, walking forward slightly. "You mean you didn't figure it out?"

"Oh you're really not as smart as I thought you were," he said at the Night Fury's silent expression. "I guess I gave you too much credit."

"What have you done?" the Night Fury demanded leaning forward.

"What's black and blue, and dead all over?" Buddy asked cryptically. He leans forward and looks at the Dragon with contempt. ". . . You . . . If you think you can stop what's coming . . ."

"Well, that's ominous." Dash said.

Violet nods her head. "You can say that again."

"Well, that's ominous," Wilbur parroted with a smirk. He gets an incredulous stare in response. "Sorry, just trying to lift the tension."

"What have you done?" the Night Fury demanded, pressing his fist against the window in an act of intimidation.

Buddy wasn't intimidated. In fact he just began to sing in a false ghetto. "Ave Maria, Gratia plena!"

"No, don't sing, you maniac!"

"That song was a beautiful song! Don't ruin it!"

"Well, now that song sounds haunting."

"I guess that proves he was at Stoick's mayor speech." Alvin remarked from where he was. "He did say something about the choir being orphan children."

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" the Night Fury shouted, punching the window. Growling, he punches the window again and again, like a dragon that was doing everything it could break out of the cage.

Buddy just paced a bit back and forth before moving close to the window and raising his voice that echoes through the asylum. "MARIA GRATIA PLENA!!"

Buddy's eerie singing echoes into the next scene change.

Many in the Audience shuddered or shivered at the look in Buddy's eyes.

---

The first thing the Audience sees is a large piece of police tape that blocks the doorway of Buddy Pines' apartment. A metal black wing suddenly cuts down the middle of the tape before the Night Fury walks into the room, the thing he used to cut the tape was the metal dragon shaped boomerang he used as a symbol on his chest that he pushed back onto the slot in his chest.

"Huh. Clever." Hiccup thought, drawing a quick sketch of that dragon shaped boomerang.

Suspenseful music began playing at the Night Fury looked around with a flashlight in hand. He then digs through some boxes before Martinez walks into the door way, shining his own flashlight. "Hey! What are you doing in here?" he demanded but the Dragon simply turned to stare at him before ignoring him.

"Hey, man, I don't think you should be touching that." Martinez tries to say before the Dragon looked back up at him, shining his light at him until the cop looked down to the floor. The Night Fury then pulled out the Riddler's murder weapon from a plastic bag.

"Dude, just go along with it." Wasabi said with a sigh at Martinez.

"Boy, this guy's a real nutjob, huh?" Martinez asked in a dry tone. He shakes his head. "Killed Larvson with a friggin' carpet tool."

"Ah, I thought I recognized what it was," Daenerys said, snapping her fingers in realization.

The Night Fury paused and turned to look at him. "My uncle's a . . . He's an installer." Martinez explained nervously. He moves his free hand animatedly as he speaks. "You know, it's a . . . Oh, you know, it's a tucker."

Hiccup furrowed his brow as he took in the information. Carpet tool, tucker. . . he thought to himself and recalled what the Riddler had said in the last scene. "It was all there."

The music shifts to a different tone as the dragon themed vigilante looks at the tool/murder weapon in thought. He then turns around and begins moving some stuff around.

"Huh." Martinez snorted to himself as if thinking, 'So much for trying to preserve the crime scene.'

Some people, especially the younger ones couldn't help but snort at Martinez's response and remarked either out loud or mentally, 'Yeah, so much for trying to preserve the crime scene.'

The Night Fury then crouched down to the floor at one side of the carpet and then untucked a part of it. He dug his fingers in and then began to pull the whole carpet back and off the floor.

"Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?" Martinez exclaimed. "What are you doing?!" Before he could say anything else, he and the Audience see what was underneath the carpet. A map of the city of Berk carved onto the floor along with a message. A REAL CHANGE.

"Oh well, that was a clever way to hide the last message."

"That's a pretty good carved map there."

"Not now, Bucket."

"Oh, sorry, Mulch."

"A real change? What does that mean?"

"From what we've seen, nothing good, I think."

Narrowing his eyes, the Night Fury went to the laptop that was left on the desk with Martinez and then typed in the message in the password. He got into the video.

OGLEMAN1029: What gauge? What caliber?

WARISMYNAME: Rifles are good

RATONETHATSHIT: There has never been a better time!

PLEASEHOLD: READY AND WILLING. Got you bro.

DETERMINATOR: Don't forget your Cling Wrap!

xxxREIGNITINxx: It's a WINTER COMBAT MASK! They have them at Berk Army Surplus, and they have the field jacket too!

The Dragon hits play. "Hey guys." The Audience see Buddy Pines in his Riddler attire but speaking in his normal voice and waving at the camera in a nervous manner. "Uh, thanks for all the comments and a special thanks to everyone for the tips on detonators."

"Detonators?" Martinez repeated.

"Detonators?" repeated everyone else in the theaters.

"Who in all of Midgard would give this madman tips on detonators?!"

"I just want to say this will be my last post for a little while, and, uh . . . what this community has meant to me these weeks, these months, let's just say none of us . . . is alone anymore. Okay?" the Riddler went on.

"Jesus." Martinez is heard muttering as the screen focuses on the Night Fury before switching to the laptop's screen.

"Tomorrow's Election Day." the Riddler said before laughing a little. "And Bella Re'al will win. She promised real change. But we know the truth, don't we?" the Riddler asked, his tone slowly losing nervousness and gaining confidence. "You've seen Berk's true face now. Together we've unmasked it. Its corruption, its perversion masquerading under the guise of renewal. But unmasking is not enough."

"The day of judgement is finally upon us." the Riddler went on and went to aim his camera to the map he had carved into his floor. "And now it is time for retribution."

"Day of Judgment?"

"Retribution? Retribution for what?"

The Night Fury walked back over to the map and noticed something. Seven little lights on the borders of the map. "I've parked seven vans all along the city seawall." The Riddler explained and the Dragon's eyes widened in realization. "And on the big night, they will go boom!"

The music gains a sinister tone as the screen switches from one of the little lights on a spot on the map and to the actual location in the city before the van ! And soon the other vans follow suit and explode in similar fashion. BOOM! BOOM!

The scene then changes to show Buddy Pines looking out the window of his cell with a gleeful and excited expression. The audio is muted as he laughs, the fires from the distant explosions reflecting off his glasses. "Boom!" he said between his maniacal laughter. "BOOM!" And the Audience see the rest of the vans exploding along the seawall.

"This is madness," Otto High Tower declared. "Total madness."

"Complete anarchy," King Agnarr said.

"Chaos." Queen Arianna said in shock and horror. "Pure chaos."

"This is Gotham (Berk.)." Gojira said as if discussing the weather.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"When the vans blow, the flooding will happen so fast, evacuation will not be an option." the Riddler's voice from the video explains as the screen switches to show the Night Fury looking out the window of the apartment and then back to the map before it switches to show people running through the street as the flood happens. "Those who are not washed away will run through the streets in terror."

"Call Thuggory." declared the Night Fury.

"Call the National Guard, the Coast Guard and send in Special Forces," Fred declared.

Martinez nods his head numbly. "Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah." was all he could say as he pulls out his phone.

"As breaking news hits higher ground in Berk Square Garden . . ." the Riddler goes on as the screen changes to show people celebrating the election outside of Berk Square Garden. "Celebrations will turn to panic, as the venue becomes the city's shelter of last resort." Suddenly, the news gets in and shows two news reporters with the bottom of the screen saying, SEAWALL ROCKED BY VIOLENT EXPLOSIONS MASSIVE FLOODING IN DOWNTOWN

Back with the Night Fury and Martinez, the dragon themed vigilante watches the rest of the video as the Riddler turns the camera to his face and he whispers in a sinister tone. "And that's where all of you come in." It was then that the Night Fury saw what the comments said on the left side of the screen.

"Oh you got to be bloody kidding me." Merida declared when she saw what the comments said and realized what they meant.

"Fuck." Princess Rhaenrya declared.

"Now when the time arrives, I will already be unmasked." The Riddler continued as the Audience see multiple men wearing near identical winter jackets and combat masks with cling wrap and glasses, arming themselves with sniper and assault rifles in the rafters and the top of the jumbo tron above the citizens in the Square Garden. "The pigs will have me in their custody, but that's okay."

"Because then it will be your turn." Two Riddler goons look at one another and nod their heads. "You'll be there, waiting." And more and more Riddler goons seem to show up, multiplying like rabbits, each goon hooked a cable onto the rafter above them for safety precautions.

"Oh you got to be kidding me."

"Are these the 500 followers mentioned earlier?"

"Why couldn't they just turn themselves in like their leader?"

"These men are definitely going to be on my naughty list," North declared.

"It's time for the lies to finally end." the screen goes back to the Riddler's video. "False promises of renewal! Change? We'll give them a real, real change now! We've spent our lives in this wretched place SUFFERING! Wondering, "Why us?" Now they will spend their last moments wondering, "WHY THEM?!"

"Why is he doing this?" Rapunzel cried out. "He already killed most of the corrupt people, including the main one, why is he doing this?"

"He wants the whole city become an orphan," Gojira replied. "Lose its caretakers and lose its home."

"But why? He practically won with Falcone dead," Anna said.

"Because there are some villains that just want the world to feel their pain."

"I can't get through!" Martinez said frantically, lowering his phone. "The lines are down." He looked up and saw that the Night Fury had left the room already.

"I don't know if I should find it funny or feel offended for the people on the receiving end of that disappearing act there." Jack said, smirking slightly.

---

The scene then changed to show the Berk Square Garden. A lone biker drives around the corner before a traffic officer saw them and waved for them to stop driving. "Hey, hey, hey!" he said. "Road's closed!"

The biker lifts their visor up, revealing to be Camicazi Bog. "I'm just trying to get out of town, man!" she said to the officer.

"Lady, we got bombs going off! The city's flooding!" the cop retorted and gestures to the building on his left. "You're gonna have to go inside the Garden with everyone else."

Just then Cami looked down at her feet and sees water racing past her and rising in height.

"That's not good," Hiccup drawled dryly, shaking his head while humming nuh-nuh. "Not good at all."

The scene then changed to show Thuggory walking into the Square Garden. He turns to a cop. "Lieutenant, who's in charge?"

"I really don't know." the man replied truthfully. "We're just trying to get a handle here, sir."

"Okay, hey, listen to me. Quiet!." Thuggory said, getting the attention of the others around him. "We got an active situation. We need to sweep the building for explosives and get the mayor-elect out of here, now. Where is she?"

"You know, Thug," Hiccup said, "you'd make a great leader based on what I'm seeing."

"Don't got much of choice in that matter," Thuggory snarked.

"I know that feeling," Camicazi remarked.

"I can take you to here." a cop said.

"Come!" Thuggory ordered some cops to follow him and the others. Unaware to them, they were being watched by the Riddler goons who were armed with sniper rifles and were loading their ammo.

The scene changed to show Thuggory and his men arriving behind the stage. "If we don't close the doors . . ." a man is heard speaking as Thuggory holds his badge to someone. "MCU." Then he and the Audience see that the man speaking is a fire fighter and he is speaking to Bella Re'al with a handful of other fire fighters. ". . . we're gonna have huge problems. The water's already started to breach."

"I thought this was a shelter of last resort?" Bella asked in confusion.

"Yeah, for a hurricane, but not if the whole seawall comes down." the older firefighter retorts.

"I am not gonna let those people die out there." Bella declared before sighing. Thuggory glances to Gustuave and offers the boy a reassuring smile. "All right. I'll go calm down the crowd so we can get everyone in." Bella said and moved to walk to the stage podium.

"It's not safe for you here." Thuggory said, moving to stand in front of her. "We need to get you out, Ms. Re'al."

"I'm not going anywhere." Bella said. Thuggory spoke imploringly. "We're under attack, ma'am."

"Exactly! That's the problem with this city." Bella declared. "Everyone's afraid to stand up and do the right thing, but I'm not. Excuse me." As she brushes past him, Thuggory has a deadpan expression. "Ma'am . . ." but it was too late. She was already walking onto the stage.

Some people facepalm or groan at Bella's naitivety.

"Listen to the cop, lass!"

"She seems like she has a good heart, but she's clearly inexperienced."

"Too bad it's gonna be worse that the Riddler goon are targeting her."

"Must because they fear she's gonna be corrupt in the future or something."

Bella Re'al then leans to speak on the podium. "Everyone, everyone!" she said but the crowds were still panicking and speaking over one another. "Can I just get your attention. Please! I just need your attention!" She glances upward and paused as she saw someone dressed up as the Riddler aiming a gun at her. She only had time to gasp before BANG! Bella Re'al drops to the floor and everyone screams in terror and start to panic.

"Okay, you got our attention!" Dagur cackled.

Thuggory ran over to her and then dragged her back to the private area, and the Audience saw that the newly elected mayor was still alive. The sniper had simply shot her in the stomach. "You're okay!" Thuggory said to her in a reassuring way. Two paramedics raced over to her and Thuggory aimed his gun up to the rafters where the snipers were shooting people everywhere throughout the Square Garden. He falters a bit realizing that he wouldn't be able to shoot any of the snipers from where he was.

"Oh thank goodness, she's alive." Queen Iduna said with a sigh.

"Not if she doesn't retrieve medical attention soon," Bunnymund said with a shake of his head.

Just then, the massive skylight above the rafters exploded BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! And the glass shatters CRASH! Getting the attention of all the Riddler goons. As fire and glass falls down, the Audience sees the Night Fury falling down among the fire and glass before he lands on a rafter.

Upon seeing the dragon themed vigilante, Astrid leaned forward. She had found this Hiccup's detective skills, she much preferred to see him fighting.

"Finally, some action we can see!" Dagur said.

"Here we go!" Rheana cheered.

"The hero has arrived!" Baela whooped.

"Take them down, Hiccup!" Daemon and Laena cheered and Hiccup smiled.

"Knock out some of their teeth!" Toothiana shouted.

Sandy silently threw some punches and jabs in the air excitedly.

"I'd be worried about the glass harming people but that explosion seems to have reduced them to pieces too small to cause damage." Hiro said with a shrug.

Heroic music swells to life as the Dragon aims his grappling hooks at two Riddler goons and harpoon them in their legs. Then he leans back, pulling the two goons off the rafters. Then their combined weight causes them to lower down while pulling the Night Fury back up to the rafters. The Dragon runs on the catwalk as three Riddler goons fire at him but his bulletproof armor withheld against them.

"Thor's Hammer, look at him go!"

"He's ferocious!"

"Go, Hiccup, go!"

"Damn, he's doing great despite being outnumbered," Wasabi commented.

"Hey, guys, we should definitely learn to fight like that," Fred said in excitement. Go Go quickly covered his mouth and looked around as did Honey Lemon and Hiro. They all looked at him with glares.

"Sorrmee." Fred mumbled behind Go Go's hand.

Meanwhile, Rhino was laughing in his hamster ball. "This rivals your old show, Bolt." the hamster said to the white Swiss Shepard dog. Bolt shrugged not feeling offended by that statement.

The dragon themed vigilante grabbed a pillar and swung down it to another rafter, kicking two other goons and knocking one of them off before fighting another and forced him to aim and fire at another Riddler goon behind him and punched the gunman while tanking gunfire from another goon behind him. He throws his opponent to the pillar and spun around and pushes the goon's gun aside while punching him repeatedly before throwing him aside. He was shot in the back, causing him to turn around to face another Riddler goon.

Stoick, the dragon vigilante (Valka), Gobber, Daemon, Laena and the Targaryen sisters were becoming more grateful that bulletproof armor is a thing, a very useful thing.

The Night Fury tanked the goon's fire and waited until he ran out of ammo. When he did, the Dragon charged forth with a growl and tackled him off the rafter and used the man's safety cable to swing through the air and he let go, using his momentum to roll through the air and he lands on top of the jumbo tron and began to fight the other Riddler goons there, knocking two men down with his landing. He rolled to his feet and punched and kicked a goon off the jumbo tron.

"This is Sparta!" Wilbur said with a laugh.

But then two men he knocked down had got back up and jumped him at once. They grabbed his arms and pulled him off his feet before dragging him with his cape. The Dragon thrashed a bout before spinning around and kicking the two men away from him.

"Ooh! They got him down!"

"But not for long!"

"And that is why we don't have capes," Fred said to his friends in a whisper.

When he got back to his feet, another goon had arrived and aimed at him just as one of the others aimed from where he laid on the ground. The Dragon looked back and forth before moving out of the way just as the two men pulled the trigger. The man standing was shot in the head and his gun fired at the support cables, causing the whole jumbo tron to list to the side. The Night Fury caught himself on the ledge while the dead and unconscious goons fell off and to the screaming crowd below.

As the Dragon held onto the ledge, more goons appeared on the catwalks to fire at him. Thankfully, most of them missed and instead hit the giant screen below him.

Electricity is heard crackling and the Audience see that Thuggory was seeing his dragon themed vigilante ally was in a bit of a pickle and decided to act. He turns to the people around him. "Hey! Hey! How do I get up there?!" he demanded, pointing up to where the Night Fury was.

"Follow me, sir!" answered a firefighter. Thuggory complies and three other cops run after him.

He wasn't the only one to spot the Night Fury. The Audience see Camicazi looking up to the dangling dragon themed vigilante above the panicking crowds. She looks around and sees how the stage's pillars work as a massive ladder. She moves through the crowd and the rising water.

"Hang on, Hiccup. We're on our way!" Thuggory said.

Hiccup chuckles in response. "I'm already hanging." he sassed.

The Night Fury grunts as he moves away from the firing goons as best as he can before one bullet hits his gauntlet and makes his arm slip off the handle bars. He glares at the goons on the catwalks before noticing the coolant tanks below the handlebars. The Dragon reached into his utility belt and then pulled out a small explosive and placed it on the tank before pulling himself up to safety. The explosive's lights flickered around the center in a silent countdown before exploding, sending a cloud of white fog into the air.

"Clever boy, Hiccup." Daemon said with a proud smile.

The four goons falter slightly before moving forward and firing through the fog as if they could try to hit the Dragon through the fog. Suddenly, the Night Fury lunges through the fog with a growl like a pouncing predator and tackles the middle goon to the ground. The Dragon then takes the goon's gun and used it like a club to fight the other three goons. He knocks one down, disarms the second and then used the gun to slam the third goon's head on the catwalk's hand rail. He turns back to the first goon who was crawling away from him in fear.

"Wow, okay, this is getting a little too easy." Hiccup said. "Something's gonna happen, isn't it?"

"I wouldn't worry about," Princess Helena said. "The waters will help you be reborn."

Hiccup furrowed his brow at her. Waters help me reborn? . . . What?

As the Dragon approached the goon pulled out a double barreled shotgun rifle and fired at the Night Fury's chest in point blank range. The Dragon's armor held up, but the impact sent him flying back and he almost fell off the catwalk before he caught himself.

"Ooh!"

"Damn, I felt that."

"That impact would have really knocked the wind out of him." Bob said with a grimace.

The Dragon groaned and grunted in pain while the Riddler goon looked down to him with wide eyes before he stood up. The screen focused on the Night Fury letting out a loud groan of pain from the impact on his chest before he looked up. The Audience sees the Riddler goon walking until he stood over the dragon themed vigilante and began reloading his shotgun with tense music playing.

"Hiccup"/"Hiccup!" cried out certain members of the Audience especially Toothless.

The Dragon stared with wide eyes as the goon aimed to fire at his head in point blank range. Just before he could pull the trigger, a shadow drops down from above. It's Camicazi. She slams a cable hook down on the goon, knocking him down before leaning back and kicked the man away. She crawls to the ledge and grabs onto the Night Fury's hand.

"Whew, that was close." Thuggory sighed.

"What took you so long?" Hiccup asked Cami playfully.

"What, did you miss lil' ol' me?" Camicazi asked back in the same tone.

She strains to pull him up. All that bulletproof armor was not helping.

The Dragon groans at the feeling when it was putting a strain on his chest muscles which were still burning with pain. Cami reached behind him to grab his cape and pulled him up until leaning back and letting the vigilante land on her. She groaned at the weight on her. Again, that bulletproof armor was not helping. So she flips the Night Fury onto his back and she straddles him. The Dragon and the Cat pant in exhaustion, the latter stares at him in concern before the former breathes laboriously and then tries to force himself to get back up. "No, no. It's okay. It's okay." Camicazi said to him softly, gently pushing him back down. "It's okay. It's done now. It's done. It's over."

The Dragon begins to breathe steadily and the two stare at one another as soft music begins to play. Cami stares at the Night Fury before leaning down to kiss him on the lips. Weakly, the Dragon returned the kiss before she pulled away. They stared at each other before the moment was ruined by a goon that whacked Cami off the Dragon. The Audience then sees Cami pinned down to the goon as she struggles.

"Cami!" Hiccup and Thuggory cried out.

"Camicazi!" Bertha shouted for her daughter.

The Night Fury lifted his head to see the goon pull out a knife from his boot. Cami struggles to hold the goon's knife back as the world begins to blur around the Dragon.

"No!" shouted the blonde Bog Burglar's friends and mother.

The Night Fury tries to force himself to stand and come to Cami's defense but the pain in his chest forced himself to fall back down. Gasping for air, he reaches to his utility belt and pulled out a shot of green liquid. He then uncaps a part of his suit. He jabs the shot into his gut and pushes down on the button.

"What's that?" Stoick asked.

"I think it's adrenaline," Hiro said thoughtfully.

"What's adrenaline?" Gobber asked.

The Night Fury lets out a primal yell before rising to his feet, high pitch ringing is heard as he tackles the Riddler goon away from Cami, pin him down and then began to deliver heavy punches to the goon's face.

"That, that's adrenaline," Penny said, gesturing to the screen.

Cami lifts herself up with a surprised expression as the Night Fury continues to punch the goon in the face. All sound seemed to be muffled by the high pitched ringing.

At first many wanted to cheer at seeing Hiccup/the Night Fury get back up to fight, but then they saw Hiccup continue to punch the man even when he was done.

Some even grew unsettled at seeing Hiccup, the least violent and brutal person in all of Berk continue to punch the man in the face rapidly. Even Snotlout and Mildew felt intimidated at what they were seeing. The Jorgenson boy was suddenly very glad that Hiccup wasn't like that in their world.

"At the rate of his punches, combined with the guy's head hitting the catwalk, the brain damage could be fatal if Hiccup continues." Hiro said with a grimace. This scene reminded him a bit like the moment he had ordered Baymax to. . . kill professor Callahagn when the man was defenseless without the mask.

"Hiccup, that's enough," Stoick said, getting over how he was unsettled at seeing Hiccup's brutality. "Hiccup, that's enough. Hiccup!"

Even if Hiccup could hear Stoick, he ignored it and kept on punching the pinned down goon. Five times, six times and then eight before he reached his fifteenth punch.

"Hey!" Thuggory shouts as he runs onto the scene behind Cami with a cop and fireman behind him. The high pitched ringing fades away and the audio returns to normal. "Hey, man, take it easy!" he pulls the Night Fury away from the goon. The Dragon turns around, holding his fists up in a combative stance with a growl before gasping.

Thuggory holds up his hands. "Take it easy. Easy." he said in a placating manner. Panting, the Night Fury lowers his hands and breaks his gaze with Thuggory, looking down at what he had done to the goon who was now wheezing before moving away. He looks back to Thuggory before looking past him to Camicazi. The blonde hair cat burglar nodded her head shakily at him in a silent gesture of gratitude.

Thuggory looked down at the goon and got a better look at him and how he was dressed. "Jesus." he said in disgust before reaching down to pull his winter mask off. The man's face was bruised, a black eye and his nose was bent in two different places and swollen with a couple of teeth cracked or knocked loose with a bleeding lip.

"It's the Bowler Hat Guy!" Wilbur exclaimed.

Everyone turns to look at him in confusion. Even the dragons and the villains leaned over the edge of their balconies to look down at the Robinson boy. "Who?"

"The Bowler Hat Guy?"

"What kind of name is that?"

"I want a hat." Again, that was Bucket.

"Who the Hell are you?" Thuggory demanded.

"Me?" Goob wheezed before forcing a smile. "I'm Vengeance."

Low, menacing music plays as the Night Fury turns around and looks down at the Riddler grunt, eyes widening in horrid realization dawns on him, Goob lifts his head up and smiles at the Night Fury and he recalls what the Riddler had said to him less than three hours ago.

"You showed me what was possible! You inspired me. You showed me that all it took was fear and a little focused violence."

Many in the Audience felt the same kind of dread as the Night Fury did. The vigilante who fights criminals ended up inspiring these madmen.

"Fear is a tool alright," Gojira spoke up. "Just like what the Night Fury had said at the beginning of the viewing. However, it can backfire. Like make civilians fearful of him, like that man he saved from the gang of clowns. Make the police force weary around him and not trust him. Or inspire people like the Riddler to use it for their own means."

Pitch Black chuckled in his seat. A powerful tool indeed.

The music builds up before the lights suddenly flicker off above them and a woman screams in panic down below followed by countless others screaming in panic and terror. The Dragon, the Cat, the cops and a fireman all look down and see the flood waters breaching through the glass doors and into the Garden. The wave knocks down the stage along with the stage lights. People run to get away before the water sweeps them off their feet. An exposed power cable swings precariously close to the wall, electric sparks flying from the wire.

"Oh no," Baymax said.

"If that thing touches the water, everyone will be electrocuted." Helen said in case the Vikings were confused. "It'd be like getting struck by lightning."

Slow, dramatic music plays as the Night Fury looks up at the cable's power box less than two hundred feet away from the catwalk they were on. He unfolds one of his grappling hooks and swings over to the cable. He grabs onto the cable with one hand and pulls his dragon symbol from his chest.

Stoick furrows his brows, leaning forward. "What's he doing?"

Astrid furrowed her brows, leaning forward a bit.

"Madness." Mildew declared. "Utter madness."

"You better know what you're doing, young man." Laena told Hiccup's counterpart in a stern voice laced with worry.

The music fades to silence and so does the other audio as the Night Fury lets out a yell before slicing his dragon blade through the cable. The electricity surges through the blade, up his arm and through his torso as the Dragon falls down.

"Hiccup!"

Toothless facepalmed or slammed his snout on the floor. Why does his brother have to so reckless.

Melancholic music begins to play as Camicazi becomes the main focus of the screen. Her eyes widen in shock and her jaw drops as she watches the Night Fury fall into the water, leaning over the catwalk as does Thuggory with a concerned expression.

Snotlout had to give his cousin's counterpart some respect. What he did was to guarantee other people he didn't know safety and risk his own life.

"Well, if he dies from that," Alvin suddenly declared out loud. "May he enter Valhalla."

"Sir?" Savage asked.

"The lad's willing to die for his city," Alvin said. "I'd say we respect 'is committment and loyalty."

The lights of a police car flicker blue and red from across the flooding building. All was still before the Night Fury breaks through the surface, gasping for air and coughing.

Many sighed in relief, even some dragons, especially those from Berk's training arena.

"This boy's gonna be the death of me," Daemon shook his head, his wife patted him on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, both Baela and Rheana were scolding their brother for the stunt while Hiccup was stuttering, "It wasn't me!"

"Yeah? Who's that then?" both sisters pointed to the screen.

". . . My twin brother who I never met before in my life?"

He and the Audience hear the police car creaking before the Dragon sees the car sliding down into the rubble made by the fallen stage, its lights going out and plunging the room into darkness.

The Night Fury stares at the scene before he reaches to his belt and pulls out a flare and lights it up. He walks over to the rubble where he and the Audience see that people are trapped by the rubble. Three men were trying to pull rubble apart before they saw the Dragon approaching and they moved away with fearful expressions. The Night Fury ignores this and shifts it around to create an opening. There he finds the mayor-elect, Sophia Larvson and few other civilians that looked to be hiding in the rubble.

The Dragon held a hand out to them. But they all seem to hesitate. This reminds the vigilante of the civilian he had saved from the group of thugs on Halloween Night, at the beginning of the Riddler's killing spree.

"Please don't hurt me."

But then he is pulled from his thoughts when he sees someone reaching towards his hand from the rubble. A child. He grabs the child's hand before the Audience see that it's Gustave Larvson. The dragon themed vigilante helps the child climb out of the rubble, pats him once on the back before he holds his hand out to the others. Gritting her teeth, Bella Re'al limps to him and grabs his hand. This inspires the other trapped or hiding civilians to approach and accept the Dragon's hand of help.

Seeing that he wasn't hurting any of the civilians, the three men that ran back returned and help guide the people out of the rubble. The Night Fury moved back, glanced at Gustave before turning around and led the people away.

The view turns to the view a bird would see as the Audience watch more and more people follow after the Night Fury as he led them through the darkness with the light of his flare.

Many stared at the screen in a bit of awe at seeing the Night Fury help people.

"At the beginning, the Night Fury was the darkness that everyone feared," the Host declared. He points a claw to the screen when it showed the people following the dragon themed vigilante with the flare. "Now, he is the light in the darkness, guiding them to safety."

---

The Audience now see what the flooded city looks like in broad daylight and it's not pretty, especially for the Vikings. The guitar strings that played after the murder of Berk's previous mayor began to play and Hiccup's voice narrates once again.

"Well, that's not comforting to see."

"By Odin, that's gonna take a while to clean up."

"Wednesday, November 6th." Sirens wail in the distance before the Audience see the City Hall and the flooded street and park. A lone dog swims through the water, looking for a place to rest. "The city is underwater."

The scene then changes to a flooded dinner. The same one that the Riddler surrendered in.

"The National Guard is coming. Martial Law is in effect." The Audience see the Iceberg Lounge also flooded with water. "But the criminal element never sleeps."

"That it doesn't." Bob said and Helen nodded in agreement.

Underneath the bridge, Tarp has sprung a leak.

"Looting and lawlessness will be rampant in the parts of the city no one can get to." The Audience see the silhouette of a man standing in Alvin Falcone's office, staring out the window to the city.

The animals I've trapped have all become my pets.

"I can already see things will get worse before they get better. And some will seize the chance to grab everything they can." It is revealed to Savage Cobb, the Penguin.

And they're living off of grass. Dripping on the scene and it's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feet and there's-

"We will rebuild." Bella Re'al is shown giving a speech to the gathered crowds while in daylight. "But not just our city." She continued, Thuggory and the GCPD, the Fire Department stand behind her. "We must rebuild people's faith in our institutions, in our elected officials, in each other. Together, we will learn to believe in Berk again."

"This is coming full circle," Hiccup suddenly said. "This viewing started with a speech given to the public by a person of power that was revealed to be corrupt."

"And now we're ending with a speech given by someone who is not corrupt and wants to do good." Elsa said with a smile.

Something in the way, Hmmm-hmmm.

"I'm starting to see now." A helicopter is shown flying away from the Garden and the Audience see that people have taken refuge on the building's rooftop. The Audience then see the Night Fury, breaking away from a group of fire fighters. carrying a young child in his arms, walking across the roof. His suit is covered with mud and grime.

"And the Dragon that prowled the night, now walks in broad daylight, helping people." Queen Elinor said with a nod.

"That'd sure be something to see," Gobber said jokingly to the Vikings. "A dragon helping people."

Gojira slowly turned to the Fourth Wall and raised his eyebrows.

Something in the way, yeah! Hmmm-hmmm.

"I have had an effect here. But not the way I intended." The Night Fury carries the child and no one is now looking at him with fear or distrust anymore. Instead they look at him with trust and respect. "Vengeance won't change the past. Mine or anyone else's. I have to become more."

The Guardian Spirits all nodded at the Night Fury's words. This man would make an excellent guardian.

"People are no longer acting fearful or distrust him," Prince Jacerys said with a nod.

Something in the way, Hmmm-hmmm.

The Dragon gently puts the child on a stretcher, assisted by a couple of soldiers. "People need hope, to know someone's out there for them." As the Dragon lays the child down, she grabs onto his arm, clearly afraid to leave his side.

Something in the way, Something in the Way

The Night Fury looks down at her hand on his shoulder, his green eyes soften with sympathy and he grabs her hand gently. He nods at her once. It's going to be okay, young one.

Some people cooed or 'Aww'ed at seeing the interaction between the child and the Night Fury.

"The city's angry, scarred like me. Our scars can destroy us. Even after the physical wounds have healed." The child slowly begins to relax and lays back down and lets herself get strapped to the stretcher. "But if we survive them, they can transform us. They can give us the power to endure and the strength to fight."

The Dragon continues to hold the girl's hand as she is lifted off the ground until she is pulled out of reach. He lifts his head to watch the child be carried to safety, the wind blows on his cape making it flap slightly.

---

"We are live. As you can see, the masked vigilante atop Berk Square Garden helping to save the lives of hundreds of victims." the news is shown on a TV playing in the office of the security of Arkham Asylum.

The Riddler is heard moaning while banging his hands on the glass windows of his cell as he watches the TV from where he is.

"Oh look at the Riddler, all sad."

"His hero had rained on his parade."

"Gonna cry?"

"And now as first responders desperately scramble to help the injured," the reporter continues to speak. "A mysterious masked man emerges, heroically pulling the victims right through that skylight . . ."

The Audience see the shadow of someone leaning to peek out the window of their cell door, gazing over to the Riddler. "Isn't that just terrible?" asked a familiar voice.

"Huh?"

"Who's that?"

"There's another prisoner?"

"Him . . . raining on your parade like that?" the Joker asked, tutting and tsking as the Riddler continues to weep about in his cell. "What is it they say? One day your on top, and the next . . . you're a clown." the Riddler slumps down to the floor. "Well, let me tell you, there are worse things to be."

Hiccup's eyes widened. "Wait a minute, it's the Joker!" he exclaimed.

"Oh, finally, I'm back!" Dagur said with excitement.

"Hey, hey, hey." the Joker said sympathetically. "Don't be sad. You did so well. And you know, Berk LOVES a comeback story."

Buddy walks over to his cell door and looks in the direction of the Joker. "Who are you?"

"Well, that's the question, isn't it?" The Joker replied cryptically. "Riddle me this, the less of them you have, the more one is worth."

". . . A friend." The Riddler said after a moment, looking up in wonder and awe. Soon the two prisoners began to laugh maniacally in their cells. "Hahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

On the path to destroy Berk, the Riddler had gained a friend. A dangerous friend.

"Those two need to be far away from each other."

"Oh great."

"Two psycho's working together. Just what we need now."

"I mean, it can't be that bad."

"Trust me," Gojira said to that Viking. "It's worse. So, so MUCH worse."

---

The wall of a mausoleum was shown and the main focus was a plaque that said Sacred to the Loving Memory of Bertha Bog. 1976-2004. The Audience then see Camicazi looking at the wall with a somber expression, holding a blackish brown cat in her hands. "You're leaving?" Despite the voice being familiar at this point, the blonde woman jolts in surprise with a surprised gasp and turns around to see the Night Fury standing outside the mausoleum.

"Jesus. Don't you ever just say hello?" she jokingly asks as she walks over to her bike and puts her cat in a basket.

"Seriously, just start with that." Cami said playfully.

"No promises," Hiccup snorted.

"Where will you go?" the Dragon asked next.

"I don't know. Upstate." Cami shrugs absently. "Melody, maybe." She sees how the Dragon is looking at her.

"Why? You asking me to stay?" Cami asked next in a coy tone before seeing the Dragon still staring at her before looking to the ground. She lowers her smile, glances to the cemetery and speaks in a serious tone. "You know this place is never gonna change. With Alvin gone, it's only gonna get worse for you. There's gonna be a power grab. It'll be bloody."

"Sounds like typical standard superhero stakes," Wilbur shrugged.

"Pretty much, depending on your power level, I believe." Bob said.

"I know." the Night Fury replied, looking back up at her. "But the city can change."

"It won't." Cami said sternly. The Dragon stares at her before speaking again. "I have to try."

"Optimism, I like it!" Jack said hold a thumb up and pointing at the screen with his other hand. "Hold onto that, you're gonna need it."

"It's gonna kill you eventually. You know that." Cami pointed out. At his silence, she walks forward until she was less than six inches from him. "Listen. Why don't you come with me? Get into some trouble. Knock off some CEO hedge fund types. It'll be fun." she said playfully, pressing her hands against his torso. "The Dragon and the Cat. It's got a nice ring."

The Night Fury stares at her face almost considering it. Can he do it? Shouldn't he? Walk away from what is considered a never ending war against crime? Live a normal life and help the city in a normal, sane and safe way? Or live a life similar to Camicazi's lifestyle.

For a brief moment, Stoick and a few others think that Hiccup's counterpart should do that. Hang up the mask and cape and walk away, live a normal life.

But then he glances up to the sky and sees the Dragon Signal lighting the sky like a second moon. Cami glances to the direction he was looking and sees what he was seeing. She looks back to him before scoffing while shaking her head. "Who am I kidding?" she says sarcastically before frowning sadly. "You're already spoken for."

Stoick and those others all sighed, now reluctantly accepting that Hiccup's counterpart wasn't going to retire from being a superhero.

Soft music begins to play as the Night Fury stares at her with a hint of remorse. He leans down to be the instigator of kissing but Camicazi leans back at seeing his action. She nods her head encouragingly. "You should go." she said before turning around to her bike.

Cami and Hiccup blushed a little, half expecting their counterparts to kiss again before slumping in disappointment.

Surprisingly, they weren't the only ones disappointed. Their friends and some adults that were getting interested in their relationship felt some disappointment. Some were vocal, others were silent.

The Dragon stares at him for a long moment before speaking softly. "Camicazi," the woman turns to him with her helmet in her hands. "Take care of yourself."

Camicazi stares a him for a short moment as if briefly reconsidering her choices before nodding her head slightly at him and then putting her helmet on, tightening the straps and then starting her bike.

"Good luck," Cami said as if speaking for her counterpart.

Soft music continues to play as she drives away. The Night Fury watches her leave before turning around and the Audience see that he had upgraded his bike to have a dragon like head design on the front headlight.

"Nice." Go Go nodded her head with a smirk and popped her bubblegum. She should definitely design a bike like that in the future. For school, Big Hero 6 and just for fun.

The scene then changes to show Camicazi driving through the cemetery with the soft music building up in volume as they see the Dragon driving up behind her until he was side by side with her. The two bikers drive side by side as they make their way down the path they were on until they reached the tunnel that led to the outside world. The two come to a stop at the end of the tunnel and give each other one last look before Camicazi lowers her visor and then turns to the left. The Night Fury stares after her briefly, his cape flapping in the light breeze before he turns to the right. The screen then shows how farther apart the two are driving away from one another before it focuses on the Night Fury.

The dragon themed vigilante glances at his bike's review mirror and sees Camicazi's reflection driving up the hill until she drives over the top and disappears into the morning fog. He stares back ahead, his resolve strengthened.

On the path to protect Berk, the Night Fury had lost a friend.

And with that, the music ends in flourish as the screen goes black.

"This world's Hiccup Haddock lives a double life." Gojira said as the lights turned. "A billionaire bachelor by day and a hero for the innocent and the harbinger of vengeance against those who live as criminals that wish to bring chaos."

". . . I think he shouldn't be doing this." Stoick declared after a moment of thought. "He shouldn't be risking his life like this. Gallivanting around, dressed like a dragon of all things."

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, Stoick, but he will find himself unable to stop." the Host replied. "Hell, ask any variant of the Night Fury, they'll tell you that they are unable to hang up the mask and cape. They rarely have a reason to do so. Very few even do retire. Even one kept on fighting crime until his body got too weak to do so and he past the mantle to someone else."

"What drives him to do this?" Astrid asked. "To keep fighting like you said?"

The Host stares at her before realizing that she wasn't the few that put two and two together. "Because of what happened to him when he was a young boy," Gojira replied and the screen turned back on.

The Audience sees an eight-year-old Hiccup Haddock walking out of the theater with his parents. The three of them were laughing and smiling as they walked down the streets of Berk City. Sad, tragic music begins to play in the background.

The family kept walking until they were confronted by a man that held a gun. Stoick acted calm and composed and gave the man his wallet. The masked man then moved to aim at Valka, demanding the necklace of pearls around her neck.

Stoick moved between them to protect his wife and the man took it as a sign of aggression and fired at him. When Valka screamed, the man fired at her and killed her instantly. The man aimed at the terrified and frightened Hiccup with his gun before lowering it and then casually walking away.

Hiccup dropped down to his knees, shaking his parents individually. "Dad? Dad! Mom? Mom!" he paused to see the blood of his parents on his hands. His eyes widen in horror before leaning back and then screaming.

Many gasped in shock and horror at what they saw, a pair of counterparts of their chief and his wife killed mercilessly.

Hiccup stared with wide eyes. As strained as their relationship is, seeing Stoick get shot did hurt a lot. And as for his mother, well, he was a bit numb about that. After all, he had no memory of her since she was killed by a dragon when he was just a babe.

Both Baela and Rheana hugged him tightly and he relaxed visibly with a sigh. "Thank you, sisters." he said in High Valerian.

"After that, Hiccup Haddock made a vow." Gojira said, looking to Astrid who stared at the screen with visible horror and shock. "Never again will a child lose their parents to some punk with a gun."

The screen then showed a montage of Hiccup training, building muscle and pushing his body to its peak condition.

"You're going to need rules," Gobber tells Hiccup once. "Rules that you cannot and you will NOT break."

Hiccup looks down thoughtfully before declaring, "I WILL NOT kill."

Gobber stares at him before nodding in acceptance. "Say it again."

"I. Will. Not. Kill." Hiccup repeated sternly. Then the clip of the Night Fury speaking to Thuggory Meathead as they prowl the abandoned orphanage. "No guns."

"Wow," Hiro said. "Just, wow."

"Won't kill? And no guns?"

"Come to think of it, he never did try to kill any criminal. Just punch them until they couldn't get back up."

"That explains why he was against using a gun." Thuggory said. "Especially with how he slapped the gun out of my counterpart's hands." Camicazi added with a nod.

Then the scene changed to show Hiccup holding a gun in his hands before he began using tools to slice it in half and then reshape it until it was in the shape of a dragon. It was the dragon shaped boomerang/blade that fits into the slot on his dragon suit's chest.

"A gun is part of his armor?" Snotlout asked in surprise. "Why?"

"It's the same gun that killed his parents," explained Gojira, stunning the Audience to silence.

Gobber stands nearby as Hiccup puts on the Dragon suit for the first time. He folds his grappling hooks into his gauntlets and puts on his utility belt around his waist. He holds a hand out to the butler who hands him the cowl.

Hiccup stares at the cowl in his hands before pulling it over his head. He turns around to face Gobber who gasps in shock and steps back.

It wasn't the mask or the suit that shocked Gobber, it was what was inside. A man on a mission. A man that was determined to never give up. He knew then as the Night Fury left to fly across the night, not even Heaven and Hell will be able to stop him.

"He became a vigilante. A hero with no flashy superpowers, just his mind, body and will." Gojira went on. "People call him the Dark Knight. The Dragon. The World's Greatest Detective. But they will remember him as the Night Fury."

And that concludes the Night Fury (Batman 2022) viewing! That did take longer than I expected or wanted it to be, but we can't control how time goes in life. Most of the time. Now then.

Yes, in this viewing, I made this universe's Riddler be cast as Buddy Pines aka Syndrome from "The Incredibles." What do you think about that? The only hint I made about his identity was in the second part of this viewing. I wrote that when the Riddler is speaking on his first video message to the public, Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible gets a feeling that he should recognize who the Riddler's voice is but doesn't because the Riddler is speaking with a winter combat mask that muffles his voice while he is speaking in a deep voice, unlike how Syndrome speaks in The Incredibles movie. And a reason he feels like he should know the voice is because the Parr/Incredible family is taken from before they face off with Syndrome.

And I made Goob/The Bowler Hat Guy from "Meet The Robinsons" make a cameo as a Riddler thug in the finale battle, because a part of me wanted to include a familiar face from the Audience as that one Riddler grunt who calls himself "Vengeance."

And you know, I'm glad I included the deleted scene with the Joker now after writing his scene with the Riddler. Like, without the deleted scene, the hint of who the other prisoner is with the dialog alone just felt a bit off after I watched the movie again after learning and watching the deleted scene for the first time.

The origin scene I've added here was composed of different variations of Batman's origins in movies and TV series. The murder of the Haddocks/Waynes was a bit inspired by the variation in the TV series known as Gotham. With another scene from the series where Alfred tells Bruce to make himself rules that he will never break. The main rule is obvious. The dragon boomerang/blade on his chest being made out of the gun that killed his parents is something I heard was actually cannon in the Batman 2022's universe and decided to add it in.

And the final scene where Hiccup suits up for the first time was from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm in honor of Kevin Conroy.

Now, while I did have fun writing this viewing, I feel like I should stick to the full movie viewing being in a single chapter and not divided up like this viewing was. So next full movie viewing will be a single chapter.

Now, with this viewing completed, next will be an intermission.

The Audience will take a break, have dinner/lunch depending on the time of day it was for them. They will talk among themselves. There will be some more bonding between Hiccup and the kids who are from the modern times. Oh, and more people will be coming from different timelines to watch the Multiverse. From Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks movies and more.

And then the Audience will watch three YouTube video tributes that will give sneak peeks into what they will be watching next (2-3) and world building for one character from this viewing and then a little teaser for the next viewing in the form of a YouTube short.

After that, the next reaction will be John Wick (2014)

Until then.

Take care.
