Couldn't be easier, a simple gunshot between the eyebrows and burning the crescent moon onto the man's chest. Jack smiled proudly at his work and quickly fled the scene before police showed up, or worse the Berk Mafia. Once he was a good distance away from the pier, he sighed and looked around. First mission in Berk and he had to leave already.

Wouldn't hurt to look around.

He smirked and made sure his hood wouldn't fall off before he began to climb up the fire escape to a random building.  It all spiked up Jack's adrenaline being in enemy territory alone. Yet, he couldn't explain a strange sensation running through his body like if there was something hidden for him in Berk. He shook his head and began running across the roof until he jumped and landed on the next building.

Jack kept repeating this process until he started getting deeper and deeper into their territory. The smile on his lips quickly disappeared once he heard someone behind him giving chase. The hooded assassin came to a stop at the very edge of the building and stood his ground.  Slowly he turned around to face the other man, auburn hair and piercing emerald eyes that shone in the darkness. Even though the other half if his face was covered by a mask, Jack had a feeling he'd seen those eyes before, they felt like a magnet, pulling him.

Jack shook his head to clear the feeling and quickly reached to his back to retrieve his dagger. He flug it, but to his surprise, the masked man quickly dodged it with ease and took out his own blade. Jack had to give this man some props, he was quick, but dumb, he had to know Jack was going dodged his blade.

Meanwhile, Hiccup had to carefully calculated everything in his head. He threw his own blade at Jack, while the hooded man dodged it, Hiccup quickly reach into his boot and took out a smaller blade.  He flung it, and smiled at the hiss in pain the hooded assasin gave out as the blade grazed his shoulder,  leaving behind a deep laceration.

Jack's eyes widened, not because of the warm blood trickling down his arm , staining his blue hoodie,  but because someone was actually able to get him.

Never has this happened.

Hiccup kept his cold stare, being at a closer proximity, the auburn man managed to spot a few strands of snow white hair that reflected off the moonlight, causing it glow. What was really bothering Hiccup was the dam hood, he wanted to rip it off and look at this mysterious assassin's eyes.

All Jack could notice, was those glowing green eyes and auburn hair, oh how badly did he want to take off that mask. Before he knew it, Hiccup began running to his direction. Even through Jack wanted to fight so badly, something... a very deep feeling... told him not to. Reaching into his pocket, Jack quickly took out a small marble sized smoke bomb, and threw it to the ground. 

It exploded creating a thick cloud of grey smoke, the hooded assasin took this time to slip into the shadows,  and quickly made his way back to Burgess.  Meanwhile Hiccup coughed and gagged, the smoke manage to slip through his mask. His eyes burned and he furiously rubbed them trying to get rid of the stinging.  Once the smoke cleared, the masked assasin was able to see and breath again, only yell and kick a nearby crate.

"How can he be gone?!" Hiccup yelled and angrily, tugged on his auburn hair.

"Hiccup!" He heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Not now Mer- sweet jesus what happened to you?!" Hiccup's mouth fell open at the sight of Merida.  She was bruised from the shoulders and face, blood trickling down her nose and she had a cut by her forehead,  the blood staining staining her already red hair making patches of it look darker even through the nighttime darkness, and to top it all of, she was badly limping.

"The guy you were chasing wasn't the only one that came from Burgess, the same blond girl that attacked me earlier, attacked me tonight again" Merida said while spitting out some blood.

Hiccup growled, walked over to Merida and picked her up bridal style. "Hey I'm capable of walking by myself you know" She squirmed groaned. 

"Not until Punzie take a good look at that leg, you're not taking a single step" Hiccup stated firmly. Merida groaned loudly and gave up with squirming.  Hiccup stopped right by the edge of the building, he took one last glance towards where he and Jack were fighting.

I will find out who this guy is.
