Chapter 19

Drago, Viggo and Ryker ran away from the machine as it began giving off sparks.

"Curse you to hell!!" Drago shouted as he stopped his foot in a temper tantrum. "Curse you curse you curse you!!!"

Hiccup merely rolled his eyes at Drago's behaviour. "Release the mindless minions!!!" Drago now shouted as Ryker pressed a button on one of the computers. Some of the tubes began to open but unfortunately those containing Hiccup's father, Gobber, and some other employees remained sealed.

The heroes stepped out of the tubes and were sporting blank looks. Even Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins stood stock still and were awaiting orders.

"But the machine is destroyed. How are they still mind controlled?!" Heather asked as she got ready for a fight.

"HAHA" Drago laughed. "Do you seriously think that just by destroying my machine they would magically return to normal?! Silly girl! The process is irreversible."

"Laddie nothing is irreversible!!" Gobber now shouted. "A good old shock should set them straight!"

"Gobber they're heroes. Nothing short of something so terrifying, so gruesome that their brains couldn't process it would be able to snap them out of it." Stoick grumbled before turning to Hiccup. "Son, take your friends and get out of here!!"

"Minions Attack!!" Drago commanded and those mind controlled activated their powers.

"Hiccup, we're surrounded." Astrid said getting out her bombs.

"We're outnumbered." Eret added as he took a fighting stance.

"We're at a clear disadvantage." Heather muttered as she took a spray bottle from her belt.

"Has that ever stopped any of you?" Hiccup asked as he formed two plasma blasts in his palms.

"Heck no!!" Dagur shouted gleefully as he readied his daggers.

Those accompanying Hiccup stood firm and faced the heroes who had started circling them.

"Hiccup what are you doing! Get out while you still can!" Stoick shouted once more.

"It's no use Stoick." Gobber stated. "The lad's as stubborn as you and it looks like his friends are as well. They'll make their stand here."

"I really wish that Hiccup would listen for once." Stoick grumbled.

"Stoick you and I both know that he listens, he just doesn't always obey, and ya shouldn't sell the lad short." Gobber said as the fight started. Fireballs started flying and both Gobber and Stoick watched. "You should know better than anyone how strong Hiccup really is."

Hiccup meanwhile cursed as he dodged fireballs. He didn't want to hurt his opponents so he had to get close enough to knock them out. From the corner of his eye he saw Astrid face off against the Terror Squad while Dagur was electrocuting any who came close to them with Eret watching his back. Heather was the most surprising. She sprayed those who attacked her with the chemical she had brought and her attackers soon began to fight over her, knocking themselves out in the process. 'Seductress indeed' Hiccup thought as he took out The Stinger by sticking out his foot when he speeded by, causing him to crash into Snotlout who tried to, not so subtly, sneak up on Hiccup.

"Egh" Astrid groaned as she had to deal with the annoying Terror Squad. One kept sneaking up on her, another tried to steal her purse, while another tried to bite her and two others tried to headbutt her. She had to admit that the leader of the Squad had excellent aim but that wouldn't stop her. She dug into her purse and pulled out one of her new toys.

The Terror Squad stopped their assault to look at her curiously as she pulled out a handful of what appeared to be candy. Astrid smirked and threw it at the Squad. It exploded upon contact covering the six terrors in toffee which was quickly hardening.

"Haha!" Astrid exclaimed as she headed for those still caught in the tubes. She stopped in front of Gobber and Stoick's tubes and noticed Chicken also in one.

She tapped the tube to see what it was made of when Gobber told her "It's no use lass. Go help Hiccup." But Astrid merely smiled and then took out one of the vials from her coat. She put a few drops on the tube and it started melting a hole. "Well I'll be a Hotburple." Gobber muttered shocked. She did the same for Chicken's tube and then looked critically at Stoick.

"I really should leave you in there." She muttered before applying the solution to his prison.

"Thank you." Stoick said as he wiggled out of the hole.

"Don't thank me." Astrid muttered. "Just know that if you hurt Hiccup again then you'll have me to deal with."

They had to duck two fireballs before Stoick could respond. Looking up Astrid saw Fishlegs and the twins readying another volley.

"Go las-" Stoick started to say before his eyebrows shot up as Astrid released a cotton candy bomb in the twins' direction and encasing them and Fishlegs in it.

"I'm sure you can finish up here." Astrid said giving Stoick and Gobber a mock salute. Chicken merely cocked her head as she began to eat some of the cotton candy.

"Hey is anyone going to get us out of here?!"

Stoick and Gobber turned to see Hego and the rest of Team Go still stuck in tubes.

"Eh.... We'll get to it soon." Stoick said as he started helping Gobber secure the twins and Fishlegs.

Hiccup and the others had meanwhile knocked out quite a few. The only problem was that they didn't stay knocked out for long. Hiccup now cursed their durability as punches and mild plasma blasts flew.

"I suggest you surrender!" Drago shouted towards Hiccup. "We wouldn't want your girl to get hurt now do we?" He smirked and Hiccup's eyes widened as Ryker and Viggo carried a squirming Astrid who was yelling curses that would make a sailor blush. One of Astrid's feet got free from Viggo's hold and Astrid took the opportunity to kick him in the face.

Viggo growled as he grabbed Astrid's foot again. Heather, Dagur and Eret were also looking in shock. Hiccup clenched his fists as his eyes narrowed at Drago. "Let her go." He said in a low growl as his pupils slitted.

"I think not." Drago stated. "She's my insurance policy that you'll come quietly. You're outnumbered. Just face it that you've lost." Drago gleefully exclaimed. "You should just come quietly."

"Wait until I get my hands around your neck you son of a troll eating munch bucket!!" Astrid shouted as she tried to headbutt Ryker. "I'll...." She said but was cut off by the elevator dinging, signaling the arrival of someone else.

The doors opened and out came Kronk and Yzma in her white bikini, completely drenched with seaweed in her hair. "I'm back baby!!" Yzma shouted before letting out an evil laugh.

"What in the nine realms is that!" Drago shrieked as he pointed towards Yzma.

Ryker and Viggo took one look and dropped Astrid as they tried not to hurl.

Those who were under Drago's mind controll looked in the direction that he pointed and upon seeing Yzma blanched and started clutching their heads in pain.

"I'm hurt I'm very much hurt!" Hiccup could hear Tuffnut yelling as he tried to cover his eyes with Chicken.

"I'm going to have to gouge my eyes out!" Fishlegs exclaimed as he rolled on the floor.

"They are snapping out of the mind control!" Dagur shouted happily. "I never thought I would be grateful to see such a sight."

"Stoick" Gobber whispered. "We'll be washing our eyes later right?"

"Aye" Stoick whispered back while shuddering.

"Why is everybody being such a dramaqueen?" Yzma asked while rolling her eyes.

Drago who had recovered a bit from seeing that yelled in defeat as he saw his minions regain their senses. "No!! This can't be happening!!" He shouted. Astrid who was closest to him gave him a right hook sending him sprawling straight in Hiccup's direction.

Hiccup pinned Drago to the floor and then turned to Yzma. "You still got those potions?"

Yzma nodded and Kronk gave Hiccup the bag he carried. Hiccup dug around in and smiled when he found the one he wanted. He pried it open and forced it down Drago's throat as he was still dazed.

There was a poof and Drago was enveloped by a colorful cloud. When it cleared all those in the room could see a pink goat standing were Drago once stood.

Hiccup smirked as the pink goat bleated. Drago looked down and found hoofs where his hands once were and he panicked. Hiccup then took two more vials out of the bag and threw them at Viggo and Ryker who tried to avoid eye contact with Yzma. They were also enveloped in a colorful cloud. When the smoke cleared Ryker had turned into a yellow beaver while Viggo became a purple seal.

"That takes care of that." Hiccup said as he walked towards Astrid. "Are you alright?" He asked as his arms encircled her waist.

Astrid nodded. "Then let's get out of here." Hiccup suggested.

"Whatabout them?" Astrid asked as she pointed to the colorful animals.

Hiccup shrugged. "Let the heroes take care of that." He suggested. "How about you and me head to dinner?"

"I would love that." Astrid said before claiming Hiccup's lips.

---The End---

"Oh right Hiccup. Don't forget that my parents want to meet you this weekend." Astrid told him as they departed the lair and headed towards the yacht. "Cousin Gru is also coming to dinner."
