As the fighting down on Level IV intensified, a few New Kama people acquired the keys to the prison cells.

"They broke into the jail room and stole the keys!"

"Everyone, we're going to need chaos on every floor in this hell hole!" Mala yelled so that everyone could hear her. "Release every last prisoner you can divide the enemy forces!"

The citizens of New Kama followed her commands and began to release the prisoners in all the cells.

"You have you want out; now is the time."

"This is your best chance; it's now or never, guys!" said a young lady.

"Yes, I am all yours, lady," a prisoner smiled.

Saldeath had reached Level IV and commanded his Blugori to engage the enemy.

"Go, Blugori," he commanded as he blew on his spear like a flute. "Run wild!"

The Blugori easily overpowers the citizens of New Kama.

"Damn, the Blugori!"

"This one is all yours, guys! Nice work!" a guard yelled.

"Don't stop, attacked the woman with a big head! She is their leader!"

The Blugori followed the commands and began to swarm towards Mala.

"My head is not bloated; it's face grew synthesis," she said.

"Blugori! Get her!"

"Hell Wink!" she yelled.

Then, with one simple wink, she sent the Blugori flying, surprising Saldeath and the guards.

"All she did was wink at them as he took them out in one shot!"

"You're kidding," Saldeath gasped.

"I don't even get it, man. She's scary."

"Hiccup Haddock, hurry, you have to keep on running!" said Mala, turning towards him. "Forget about the small fries. We can handle them. We need that boat and both you and Astrid on it, pronto. Let's move!"

Hiccup nodded in agreement. "Agreed."

"Let's go!" said Astrid.

At that point, Sadie and the Demon Guards arrived, and they began to push the prisoners and New Kama people back.

"It's the Demon Guards!"

"They've said three of them!"

The guards were relieved upon seeing the Demon Guards.

"Finally, we got back up! Mistress Sadie is here!"

"This is the end of the road," said Sadie as she revealed herself. "So bow down and kiss my feet and take your punishment."

"I am admittedly better suited to fighting underwater, but I shall assist you as best I can all the same, my friends," said Jinbe, joining up with Hiccup and Astrid.

"I'm not complaining; you seem plenty strong to me," said Hiccup.

"And we're going to need all the help we can get," said Astrid.

"Go! Make them suffer!" Sadie commanded. "Do not hold back!"

The Demon Guards then charged towards them.

Hiccup then opened his mouth. "Plasma…"

"Wait a minute!" Mala's voice yelled.

The three of them stopped in their tracks as six New Kamas blocked their path, folding an array of weapons.

"We'll save you guys the trouble."

"Like Mala said, you need to keep moving, Dragon; the clock is ticking."

"Don't worry, these Demon Guards are nothing to us."

"And who is us?" Hiccup blinked.

"I thought you'd never ask."

"We are the New Kama Six Forces!"

"They certainly looked tough," said Astrid.

"These boys have a bone to pick with you, gentlemen," said Mala, folding her arms. "They have a lot of friends who were killed here in the fiery clutches of Impel Down. If I recall, they have a particular distaste for the Demon Guard, their saucy commander, and a certain shrimpy chief guard."

Both Saldeath and Sadie made some exceptions to that.

New Kama Six Forces then sprung into action.

"Enough!" said Sadie, looking disgusted. "Finish them already!"

The Demon guards then began to advance.

"Take this!"

One of them fired a cannon straight at the Demon Guards, creating a thick smoke.

"Without proper eyesight, even Demon Guard is nothing more than a lumbering oaf! Now, let's get them!"

Three of them then approached the Demon guards with their weapons.

"How'd you like the Eye Crusher?"

"Attack them all at once!"

Unfortunately, the Demon Guards weren't as affected by the smoke as they hoped and swung their weapons at the attackers.

"You think they're done?" Sadie smirked. "Don't make me laugh. Even if they can't see you, their animal instincts help them see you and feel your presence because the Demon guards here are positively beastly."

"Yeah? Well, smell this!"

They then began firing crossbows, wrapping chains around the Demon Guards and completely tied them up.

"Try and get out of that one!"

Hiccup, Astrid and Jinbe stared, impressed.

"Now pull!"

Everyone immediately grabbed a chain and began to pull hard, but the Demon Guards were just too strong and managed to break free of their chains.

"Simply pathetic," Viggo muttered.

The Demon guards then continued their onslaught against the prisoners, and they began to retreat.

"They're just too strong!"

"Run for it!"

"Nothing seems to faze them!"

"I'm going back to my cell! We can't win!"

"We're all going to die!"

"These things are Way stronger than the Blugori!"

Sadie merely smiled upon hearing the screams of beaten-up prisoners. "Those screams. Oh, yes."

"These Demon Guards are quite formidable foes," Mala acknowledged.

Hiccup, Astrid and Jinbe then charged towards the Demon Guards.

"Gamma Mode!" Hiccup yelled as he took on his Gamma form.

"Fishman Karate!" said Jinbe.

"Demon guards wipe them out!" the guards yelled.

"Dragon Titan Fist!" Hiccup yelled as he swung his fist at Minokoala.

"5000 Brick Fist!" Jinbe yelled, thrusting his fist at Minozebra.

"Valkyrie Impact!" Astrid yelled, thrusting her fist at Minorhino.

They all struck their bows with incredible force, sending the Demon Guards flying in different directions. Hiccup hit Minokoala so hard that he flew right past Sadie and Saldeath and slammed into the wall behind them.

The guard immediately pounced upon seeing this, and Sadie screamed. All three Demon Guards were now unconscious, all of them taken down with a single hit.


Meanwhile, up on Level II, Buggy and his forces were now trapped on the said Level, and poison gas was leaking in.

"Stay back!"

"What a pain," Buggy grumbled as he covered his mouth. "We can't even get close to it. Damn Magellan, he may stick, but he is no fool."

"With this wall of poison blocking the way, it's impossible to reach Level I," Mr 3 moaned. "What should we do now?"

"There's nothing we can do. If we even touch that stuff, we're screwed."

"I knew it; there's no breaking out of here after all. It was stupid of us to even try."

"Shut up, you whiny coward!" Buggy barked. "Like I would give up after making it this far. It's exactly what Warden Magellan wants us to do."

"Have you got any ideas brewing, Buggy?" Mr 3 asked hopefully.

The truth is that Buggy had no idea whatsoever, but now he was put on the spot and had to think of an idea quickly.

"Try your wax," said Buggy in desperation. "It's helped as every other time, right? So, why not this time too?"

"Let's not be hasty, friend," said Mr 3 frantically. "Fooling transponder snails and manticores is one thing, but this is different."

Then, suddenly got a brainstorm.

"Wait! I see what you're thinking now!" he said, extending his hands. "Candle Coating!"

Wax shot out of his palms and began to cover the entranceway.

"If I simply cover the poison with wax, then it can't hurt us," Mr 3 smiled. "Nice work, Buggy. Splendid suggestion."

Buggy was rather taken aback. 'I was just grasping at straws.'

The prisoners then looked at Buggy with admiration.

"Genius! And here we were about to give up."

"You are the very pillar of strength."

"Easy, I might just fall in love with you."

Buggy then smiled nervously. "Sure, that's what I do. There is more to me than just flashy good looks. We've got to stay cool and collective in these sorts of situations. Stick with me, and you'll go far, got it?"

He then began to lap, and the prisoners began to cheer.

"Wait, we're safe from the poison, but now there's a wall of wax and poison blocking our escape," Mr 3 pointed out.

The prisoners instantly stopped cheering and looked at one another.

"That's true. This is no time to celebrate, guys."

"Hey, let's not lose hope just yet. We've got the infamous Captain Buggy with us. I bet 20 Gil he's already got our next move planned out."

"What?" Buggy stared.

"You're right, so what's the plan, boss?"

The prisoners gathered around Buggy, who had no idea how to escape this mess. He also had to play very carefully because he would be in big trouble if the prisoners sensed that he was all talk. After all, everyone here was actually stronger than he was.

"Stop. I can't handle this!" Buggy yelled.

"Candle fist?" Mr 3 blinked, misinterpreting him due to the jeers of the prisoners. "Yes, that would do!"

Everyone stopped and stared at him.

"That was a brilliant suggestion, Buggy," said Mr 3 as he created some more wax. "We can use the same method that Hiccup used to defeat Minotaruos to break through this wall."

"Yeah," said Buggy.

He remembered that Mr 3 reinforced Hiccup's fist with wax when he did battle with Minotaruos. He struck with so much force that he hit the Demon Guard unconscious.

'Right, that was back when we were stuck in the Starvation Hell,' said Buggy with tears in his eyes. 'I wanted to go up and escape, but I have to go down to Level V because of that stupid Dragon. Getting back up to Level II was such a major pain in the butt. Why does everything have to be so damn hard?'

"Are you ready, Buggy?" Mr 3 asked. "Candle Lock!"

"Wait, I have to do what he did?" said Buggy as Mr. 3 coated Buggy's hand in wax. "I'm not sure if I'm ready yet."

Buggy knew that he had nowhere near Hiccup's strength, so he wasn't confident he could break through the wall. That said, everyone's eyes were now looking towards him, and if he showed weakness, he could have a mutiny on his hands.

'It will look bad if I don't pull this off,' said Buggy nervously. Reluctantly, he raised his fist towards the wall. "Chop-Chop…"

"Go, Captain Buggy!" the prisoners cheered.

"Release Wax Wax!" said Mr 3. He then used his powers to remove the wax from the poison.

"…Flashy Mallet!" Buggy yelled, launching his fist.

His hand struck the poison, but to Buggy's horror, he saw that the poison was absorbing the attack and his hand along with it.

"Magellan's poison is at it again."

"It's like it is alive or something."

Buggy was more concerned about getting his hand back. It was covered in wax, which meant the poison wasn't reaching it, but he would still love to have it back.

"Give it back!" Buggy yelled, pulling his hand free from the poison.

Unfortunately, a drop of the poison landed on his backside, and he began to burn through his pants. As a result, he began jumping around wildly as if his rear were on fire.

"Och! My butt!" he screamed.

"Well, I suppose it just won't work without Dragon," said Mr 3. "That was all we had."

"Damn, Magellan, that turd," Buggy grumbled as he refitted his hand. "I don't care your reward of this fancy pants prison or have poison powers or whatever. Do you know why? Because you're just a giant turd with the runs! The only thing you have in the whole world is your toilet seat!"

Everyone just stared at Buggy, shocked that he was badmouthing the warden in such a way.

"Whoa, I think Captain Buggy has finally snapped."

"There doesn't seem to be a way out; it's no wonder."

"You fool, can't you see what he's doing? Captain Buggy hasn't given up; he's still fighting."

The prisoners looked back at Buggy and then smiled in admiration.

"He's fighting back against the venomous wall with his venomous trash talk."

"Of course, they say their poison kills poison," said Mr 3.

"You hear me swab butt! Farting pants!" Buggy roared.

"What a man."

"That's the indomitable Pirate spirit, you tell him!"

"He's a natural-born captain!"

"I will follow him forever!"

"Yeah, Captain Buggy, we'll fight with you! Down with diarrhoea, man Magellan!"


Meanwhile, on Level I, the remaining guards did all they could to fend off Drago and his crew, but they kept coming.

"Raise the drawbridge! Don't let them cross it!"

"There's five of them! Stop, Drago!"

They attempted to raise the drawbridge in order to prevent Drago from proceeding to the staircase, but it was too late. Ragnar the Stone was having fun beating up some guards, sending them flying into the Crimson Hell.

"Open fire!"

Guards fired their rifles at them, but Grimmel raised his own rifle and fired several shots. They tore through the guards' bullets and plunged into the bowels of their rifles, cutting right through them.

"Fire! He may be a Warlord, but there's no way this was sanctioned! Drago is not on our side; he's a traitor!"

Drago laughed as he calmly walked down the corridor.

"Fools," said a voice, "pirates are traitors by nature, aren't they?"

The guards turned around, and their expressions changed to a mixture of horror and relief as Sal appeared.

"Former Warden Sal! When do they let you out?"

Sal ignored him and looked at Drago. "Well, let's see how this goes."

He walked by, and the guards immediately gave him a wide berth, afraid to get anywhere close to him. However, Drago and his crew looked undeterred. In fact, they looked rather excited upon seeing him.

"Who is this?" Drago asked. "Some big shot looking for some trouble. Warden Magellan, I presume."

"You presume wrong. Your Drago D Bludvist, right?" Sal asked.

"Yep, that's me. Who the hell are you?"

Sal then unsheathed his sword.


Magellan, meanwhile, is making his way down to Level IV to back up Hannibal now that Level II is secure.

'I blocked off the exits on Level II. Buggy the Clown and the others with him should be trapped, and though I still have my reservations about letting him out, I know that Sal can handle Drago on Level I. That just leaves Dragon on Level IV. Now that Viggo and Jinbe have joined him, they have become a force to be reckoned with.

In Impel Down, rioting will not be tolerated, much less a breakout. This and is now. I'm on my way; you must hold Dragon and the others off until I arrive, Hannibal.'


Hannibal was making his way down to Level IV as quickly as he could.

"Vice-Warden, we have a problem!" said a guard.

"What is it?" Hannibal asked.

"According to the report from Level IV, the Demon Guards were beaten, sir! And in no time flat."

"What?! Impossible, not the Demon Guards. Are you sure?"

"Stop whimpering!" Hannibal glared. "Tell them we'll be there soon; we'll work it out somehow. Because no matter what it takes, I'll hold them back until the warden arrives. He's entrusted me with this assignment; I swear I won't disappoint him."


Down on Level IV, the morale of the guards had plummeted since the defeat of the Demon Guards.

"This is it! We can't fight them without the Demon Guards! We're screwed!"

The prisoners just kept on approaching them.

"Full speed ahead! Nothing can stop us now!"

"Crap, it seems like their numbers are increasing too!"

Both Throk, Ryker and Bon Clay were proving to be just as much of a handball as Hiccup and the others.

The prisoners then charged at Sadie, who was now blocking the staircase's entrance to Level III.

"It's chief guard, Sadie!"

"Who cares? Pushed her out of the way!"

"Can it!" Sadie roared as she raised her whip. "And that's Mistress Sadie! Manifesto of Excitement: Viper Whip!"

She then swung her with, which struck the prisoners, sending them flying.

"How dare you beat up my sweet little minions!" she screamed as he kept on swinging her whip at them.

She whipped the ground so much that she destroyed a portion of the bridge.

"She seems a little crazy," said Hiccup.

Astrid then gripped her axe. "She's mine."

"No," said Mala as she stepped forward. "I'll take her on. You need to keep on moving."

She then injected herself with hormones, reverting her head back to normal size, and narrowed her eyes at Sadie.

"You'll be fighting me now, naughty girl," said Mala with a slight smirk.

"Naughty girl?!" she roared. "You'll refer to me as Mistress Sadie."

Mala then took up a fighting stance. "Sometimes I believe that I like a girl fight."

She then performed a spinning jump kick, which Sadie narrowly avoided.

"You're nothing more than a stupid anarchist who needs punishment," said Sadie, licking her lips.

"Now you're not jealous of little old me?" Mala smiled.


Meanwhile, on Level I, the drawbridge connected to the staircase leading to Level II lowered, and the observation room had difficulty contacting the guards there.

"Level I, what's going on? Have you apprehended Drago? Answer me, what's wrong? Say something!"

"Seems like fortune favours us," Drago smiled as he and his crew began to cross the drawbridge. "Isn't that nice?"

The monitoring room had no visuals of Level I, but the lack of response told the entire story.

"There's no response on Level I. Maybe they got wiped out?"

"That can't be right. Vice-Warden Hannibal told me that Warden Magellan released Sal. He sent him off to fight Drago; he wouldn't lose, not that quick. Even if the enemy is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sal is a beast to be reckoned with."


Meanwhile, on Level IV, Mala was now fighting against Sadie.

"I have never heard the screams of the Queen before," said Sadie as she cracked her whip. "Oooh should be fun."

"A woman's weapons are not just her beauty observed," said Mala as she performed several magnificent backflips. "These light and delicate movements are weapons too!"

Mala was proving to be quite nimble as she swung another kick at Sadie, who ducked just in time. She spun to avoid her counter-attack and gracefully landed on the ground.

"There are times when a woman's gift can make her more powerful than any man!" Mala yelled as she charged at Sadie.

"Enough!" Sadie yelled as she cracked her whip. "Red Viper Whip!"

Mala dodged the web and tried to kick her just like before, but Sadie was able to avoid it. She cracked her whip again, and Mala performed a thrusting kick, but Sadie sidestepped out of the way.

"Too little too late," she said, successfully wrapping her whip around Mala's neck. "I could take your head clean off right now, but where was the fun in killing you before I get to hear you beg for mercy? Entertain me, and we can take this nice and slow and then burn until it becomes a scream, starting now."

Sadie pulled back her whip, and Mala struggled to pry it off her neck and refused to scream.

"Stubborn Queen, give me a scream," said Sadie as she pulled on the web even harder. "Please, give me one because this will be your last!"

She then successfully managed to flip Mala into the air and slammed her into the ground.

"Oh, sweet agony," said Sadie, licking her lips.

"I'm afraid not," said Mala as she emerged from the rubble, looking completely unharmed.

"No way!" Sadie gasped. "How?"

Mala grabbed her and pulled her towards her. "When I injected those hormones, I didn't just change the size of my head. I also transformed my body to something live and soft, allowing me to absorb any kind of shock, including your web and that nasty pile of rocks."

"You dare to defy me!" Sadie yelled, looking insulted.

Hiccup looked at Astrid. "I think she's got this; let's get moving."

"We're near the staircase leading to Level III, I'll open the door once we're there," said Throk.

However, the door suddenly began to open on its own.

"What's going on?"

"The door is opening all by itself?"

"Who cares? Good luck on our part. Let's just get to Level III."

The prisoners then rushed towards the door eagerly.

"This is the great fortress of hell; none shall pass!" a voice yelled. "Now be gone!"

The prisoners were suddenly blown away as Hannibal, who had dispatched the criminals with his spear, blocked the entrance.

"Who are you?" Hiccup asked.
