The Big Four continued their journey to find the missing pieces. Jack was looking at his map, and he couldn't understand where he'll go, he just don't want to tell his friends. "Hey Jack, do you really know where we're heading?," Hiccup asked. "Uhh...yea! Of course I know," Jack answered. "Oh, I am so excited! I wish the next one is a princess, oh oh! Maybe the next one will be difficult, but fun!," Rapunzel said. "Wow, you're not scared?," Hiccup asked. "Why would I be scared? Pssh, look...I am a little scared yes, but you know me, I'm always happy," Rapunzel said. "Hah, that's the reason we need you on this team, you're like fearless in some other times I think," Jack said. "Well, I've been through a lot, but look, on the brighter side we're still alive and we're walking in a far away land right now," Rapunzel said.

Jack gets his head back on the map. "I don't really get that map well, do ya get it Jack?," Merida asked. "Yea, I...I get it, it's just a little confusing I guess," Jack said. Later, Rapunzel ran, it was like she saw something. "Hey! Wait for us," Hiccup shouted. Rapunzel was amazed from what she has seen. "Look you guys! It's a castle!," Rapunzel shouted. Jack was pretty shocked to what he saw. "Is this the place Jack?," Rapunzel asked. Jack can't decide well, so he just nodded. "Come on!," Rapunzel said. She slides down on the grass. "Jack, are ya sure this is right?," Merida asked. "Um....maybe, it's a good thing we check it out, just to make sure," Jack said.

Merida frowned at him. "Ok fine," Merida said. Hiccup and Toothless hides in the walls. They were surprised when they entered the castle, there were no people in there, it was totally empty. "Whoa, what is this place?," Hiccup said. "I don't know, but it looks like it's here long ago, look at the details...it's in middle 90's or something," Jack said. "You've been here?," Rapunzel asked. "If I've been here I'd know this place," Jack answered. "Oh....well, at least bad things won't happen right?," Rapunzel said. A net came out falling in the sky, it trapped Toothless. 

"Toothless!," Hiccup shouted. Merida takes her arrow, but she got trapped in a cage. People came out and started shouting. Rapunzel got tied up. "No!," Jack shouted. Someone chain his arms and legs, he fell down. A man came towards them. "Tress passers eh? Boy, don't you know which kingdom you landed on?," the man asked. "We didn't mean to go here, it wa my fault!," Rapunzel shouted. "Shut up blonde! You are not part of this, hm, I can say you kids aren't normal, just like you, pale skin, white hair and blue ocean eyes, this lady here is holding a large arrow, made of steel, this blonde here has a long hair, and this one...it was pretty amazing of you, he was actually riding a dragon, oh...you have fake foot! Hahaha! You guys are such weird people," the man laughed.

"Don't you recognize us? We're here to save you from the darkness," Jack said. "Don't speak to me...speak to the king," the man said. Jack looked at him in the eye. "Jack, we can't just let them trap us here," Hiccup said. "I know, I'm thinking," Jack said. The people bought them to the king. He was with a girl beside her. "Hm...who are these tress passers? Hunters? Bandits? Thieves?!," the king shouted. "No, we have no intentions! We didn't know we can't go here," Merida said. "Ohhh, then why did you prefer to continue?," the king asked. "Look, I am a Princess, if you can just listen," Rapunzel said. "Shut your mouth! I am still the king, you are standing here in my kingdom so you don't have the rights!," the king shouted.

"Who are you?," Hiccup asked. "I am King Meor! And this is my kingdom, and we are strong, we guard this kingdom from the likes of you!," he shouted. "What? From the likes of us? You don't even know who we are!," Hiccup shouted. "Then tell me," King Meor sat down. "I am Jack Frost! The Legendary Guardian," he shouted. "I am Merida Dun'Broch! The Princess in Clan Dun'Broch!," she shouted. "Rapunzel Corona! I am a Princess and a healer," Rapunzel said. "I am Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III! Son of Stoick the Vast, and I am a dragon rider," Hiccup said. They all step forward to the king. The king just yawned at them. "Boy, you guys have lots of imaginations," the king laughed, so as the people.

"What!? Are you kidding me right now? We saved the world from the darkness, we are in our journey to save the world once again, didn't you hear the prophecy or even read it?," Jack said. "I do not believe in prophecies, I believe in strength and power....and I know, I've read the stories, but I don't believe you, look at you! You children are not the ones in the prophecy!," King Meor said. "Please believe us, we....we'll prove it to you!," Rapunzel shouted.

"Hmm...well, because I am waiting this for a long time, then alright, make me believe," King Meor said. "Wait, what are we going to do?," Hiccup asked. "You are going to battle, the most dangerous, enormous, and terrifying creature you'll ever seen, and it will happen in the Arena, if you lose...you will be punished and if you win...well, I guess you'll have my trust, but I know you won't," King Meor said. "I swear I'm gonna see the look of this king when we win," Hiccup whispered to Rapunzel. "You're right but...I'm kinda scared right now I can tell," Rapunzel said. "Don't worry, we can do this...we have to battle to have his trust ok? Then we're gonna get out of here, it's just gonna be quick," Jack whispered. 

The guards bring them in their rooms. "Wait, we're not going to practice?," Merida asked. "You said you were legends right? Then prove the king," the guard laughed. Merida kicked the door. "I am so mad right now!," Merida shouted. "Don't worry guys, we'll get this over with," Jack said. Later on, someone knocked on their door. They opened it, and they saw a girl, who was beside the king. "Uhh, who are you?," Hiccup asked. "I'm Princess Mely, and I am here to talk to you," she said. "You could've just stopped your father from making us fight," Hiccup said. "I can't he is too selfish and hard headed, but you need to listen to me, and if I may ask, are you really the Four warriors that will save us all?," she asked.

"Well, we're not exactly the past warriors, but yes...we are the ones that will save the world," Jack said. "I knew it! I've read your stories from time to time, but I will tell you this...if you guys are really the ones, then you are searching for something, it was something precious right? And mostly, it is important," she said. "Well, yea...you can say that," Rapunzel said. "You are looking for the next key right?," Mely asked. "Wait, how did you know?," Jack asked. "Everyone knows before....I believe that my father is under the dark spell of Darkiana, she cast a monstrous creature to rule this land and to be under it's control, so as the people...I was the only one that cannot be under her spell, because I have this shield against her, it is my necklace, my mother gave it to me...and I believe the key is in my father's crown, if you defeated the monster, my father will be back to normal," Mely said.

'So, your father isn't really bad? He just wanted us to get killed?," Merida asked. Mely nodded. Jack looked at them. "Ok, we need to defeat this monster once and for all," Jack said. "But be careful, this monster is far more dangerous, I never seen it, but even in the shadows....it kills," Mely said. Jack nodded to her. "Don't worry, we'll get your father back," Rapunzel said. "I knew you guys would," Mely said. "Princess! Come down it's dinner time!," the guard shouted. "Oh...I need to go, goodbye," Mely said. "Ok, be careful," Jack smiled.

They are now about to battle a monstrous creature, but what is it?
