In the rising threat of Drayko Ryder's conquering of the now highly weakened state of the Dragon Hunters led by the late Drago Bludvist, Stoick begins going on the warpath and starts out by leaving Draconia shattered to ruins and forcing the Knights of the Dragon Riders to split apart and scatter to an temporary hideout to rebuild Draconia. Drayko reads through the pages of his grandfather's journal and leads both him and Toothless to an cursed ancient island where the "Nightbreaker" once wielded by Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II is supposed to be kept inside of the Castle's walls within. Meanwhile, the Teens set sail to hunt down and kill Drayko while rescuing Fishlegs from his clutches as both the sons of the Hooligans face off against each other many times in many fierce duels. But when the Book of Dragons has been stolen by the ever so relentless Stoick the Vast and demands the return of his son, Drayko must now reclaim what was stolen by going back as someone that he wasn't meant to return as back to the Hairy Hooligan Tribe on the Isle of Berk. In the fall of the shining daylight among the skies of the Archipelago, comes the rising darkness of the night as the time for revenge ends here...
(A/N: You know this by now: As if you don't know who owns this shit already. I know that I focus on Drayko Ryder too much, but you got to understand that this is his story and this is his tale of how a son can rebel against his own evil father; you've all heard it before one way or another, but this is much more than what you think it is. There's more to the Knights of the Dragon Riders as this is about releasing the pain by revenge and turning the suffering of horrible memories best left forgotten into unbreakable bonds for both Human and Dragonkind to share until the day they depart comes. This first part was taken from Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith audiobook, look it up on YouTube; anyways, hope you like where this is going. Enjoy!)
This all happened long ago in a Archipelago belonging to none other than the Dragons who roam and rule the skies, masterless and free without no restraints to hold them down nor keep them from enjoying the thrill of the air blowing by their scales; bound to no chains under servitude like slaves and prisoners. This also was the home of the brutal, battlehard, and rather vicious Vikings of many Tribes. Some are named while others go unknown, but are heard of from those who come from their home Tribes. It has ended, nothing could ever be done to prevent nor reverse this. It is a story of both hatred and vengeance, death to the dreams of the Vikings and sacrifice to what has been kept so hard to keep others out of the truth. It is a story about the end of an age, the age of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe to be exact. Strange thing about stories is that although this has happened so long ago that words cannot reach the time and distance from this very faint memory, it is all happening right here and right now. This is how Third Centuries of Berk come to the closing end. This is not just the end of the Hairy Hooligans, years of war between both Dragon and Viking are collapsing in on itself. This is the twilight, an Vengeance on Primal Twilight as one may call it, the twilight of the ever so fearsome Stoick the Vast; the end begins now...
The cloudy skies of the Barbaric Archipelago split apart and out came the sun whose very little daylight peaked through and blazed with anger, betrayal and war. The rays shined down upon an large heavily armored and heavily armed ship designed for defensive combat. Armed with the deadliest of weapons, the contrails of the sea fade away for it's speed was fast while the Brigantines matching it's appearance are half as so; but no less still faster than what the Dragon Hunters had used to kill the innocent scaly beasts. It was more elevated and it was armored with an much stronger, much durable to unbreakable and much deadlier successor to Gronckle Iron. This was known as "Volcanripper Metal" created and produced in very massive qualities from the Dragon of the same name. Triple the masses and quadruple the sails, the heads have been replaced by the figurines stained by the blood of the Hunters and the Hostile Dragons who dare to attack the hero who is at battle with his disowned father; whose stubbornness refused to let him accept the truth before him. Coming down from the skies where the clouds part ways are two Dragons who fall from the heavens, skiing on the seas next to "The Jackalknife" as the Capital Ship of the fleet was called
These two Dragons flew upward into the storms of hatred and conquest as below from the skies, opposing forces of both none other than the Kingdom of Draconia and the Hairy Hooligan Tribe; leadership by Stoick the Vast, led down the warpath against the Dragons for taking away his beloved son he'd loved so much. Yet he treated him nothing like the children among Berk, instead he was being tied to the unforgiving and highly unacceptable abusive nature of an father that he calls himself; but this was not taken in too lightly by his loving wife as prior to her abduction was always saving the Dragons behind his back, now that she is revealed to be alive this all resulted in her losing the husband she once loved. Her son on the other hand, has other plans for this mistreatment towards him. The Hairy Hooligans had planned an voyage to hunt and kill the Dragon Rider, the responsible one for taking away the son of the Chieftain; still clouded with the thoughts that he is still the great and powerful leader that he is. Drago Bludvist's final death was dreaded news as this proved that the Dragon Rider was becoming a rising threat, they had to prepare for the coming storm. But this however, a striking attack on the very heart of the Dragon Rider's own home and sanctuary he has given to the Dragons; how could this be happening? It felt like a true nightmare, nobody could wake up from...
On these two Dragons who flew over the chaos unleashed by the opposing force while Draconia's Liberated Naval Defense fights off this relentless assault, they were none other than the infamous Drayko Ryder, the Slayer of Red Death and the Prince of Exiled Legends in Dragonese and Raedwit, known to no other than the Master of Illusions. The former rode atop his Titan Wing, an Night Fury to be exact while the other rode upon an Zippleback; double the heads as these Knights, these Dragon Riders bond with the scaly beasts unlike the Hunters and when they do so; they force them by subjugation for their heinous and unspeakable evil acts. The pair glided over as the Knights and Pendulum Guards aided them in throwing off the Hooligans' attack at their own home
"Lock onto that ship Toothless, we're gonna send 'em back to hell" Drayko spoke to his Night Fury silently as he fired off an multitude of highly dangerous, deadly and very lethal Plasma Bolts that were charged up and fired off without a second to hesitate. The blazing blasts came raining down on the ships, catching them ablaze and setting them to sink in the water below
"Barf, Belch, let's go!" Raedwit told the two of them as they flew over to the closest ship to preform their attack. The Hooligan ships shot their cannons and launched their catapults towards the incoming Zippleback, but when they did so, they vanished into an dark green smoke. It wasn't until then that Raedwit unleashed an sickly green cloud to blind them and the other ships surrounding them
"Zippleback Gas!" A Hooligan shouted
"All weapons out and for the love of Thor, DO NOT LIGHT ANYTHING!" Stoick shouted out to them as he had his Axe out and his Shield up
"Light anything? It'll be of great pleasure to do so for you, my featured guests" Raedwit ignited the sparks of his Thunderbolt spear and punctured an massive hole in the Hooligan's opposing fleet of longships. This explosion had forced the Hooligans to attack even harder and focus on Draconia only, according to Stoick as he calls it the new nest of the so called "Devils"
Just then from out of nowhere, the armored brigantines given as a gift to Chief Gort of the Owl Gut Tribe appeared in the nick of time aid their allies. Stoick was overcome with anger, the most level headed of all of them, the one who holds the meeting of the Chieftains and the one Tribe whom they discussed the events in dealing with the Devil Rider has now showed up only for them to start helping their foes out?! This is total madness and for this betrayal, none of the Owl Gut Vikings must be shown any mercy
"Gort, you dare side with our foes?!" Stoick shouted in anger as the Owl Gut Ships fired on them all. Stoick growled as he continued to scream out to them,"You will pay for your treachery!"
"Chief, what's happened?" A Hooligan asked
"Gort has betrayed us by siding with our enemies, we will make him pay for this treachery against us. Now focus all firepower on the Devil Rider's Nest, leave it in ruins!"
"Chief, the Dragons without Riders are taking an hold on our left flank" Another Hooligan called out to him
"Do not let the Devils escape!" Stoick ordered, the Hooligans of Berk were always equipped with nets and large crossbows in the events of Dragon Attacks on the sea. They loaded them all up and fired away as the nets were designed to get tighter the more that the victim struggled with them, the Dragons captured were also given an muzzle around it's mouth
Just as they captured a few of the Dragons with their muzzles locked tight and the nets tightening even further, some Pendulum Guards dropped down and decapitated some of the Hooligans before them with their spinning blades. Blood spilled out into puddles and those who tried to escape were met with the Pendulum Guards throwing their spinning scythes at them, splitting their bodies in half and spilling out their organs as they lie dead. The Hotburples proceeded to bombard the ships and destroy the muzzles, allowing the now freed Dragons to escape and retaliate with an counterattack
In the rage of the assault as the battle continued on, Draconia was relentlessly getting attacked, slammed, bombarded and struck from all sides as the houses came falling down, the Main Hall collapsing into smoking ashes and the Black King's Sanctuary being blown to smithering pieces of ice. The Knights have come to known that this was the final time that they would see this place again as it was now collapsing, getting destroyed by the relentless barbaric actions of the Hooligans. They had prepared ahead and moved any and all possessions to the Dragon's Edge where they will relocate there until further notice
Spitelout was overlooking the whole battle with Kingstail before taking off and providing aerial bombardment from above. The Dragons of the Renegade Reniforcement Defense including Reinstorm, Duskcutter and Thunderclaw all came in with the help of Gustav leading the other Backup Dragons of both Drayko and his friends. In order to drive them away, they had to combine their firepower together and create an powerful blast to send the Hooligan Longships into oblivion; some of them had been sunken and others are blasted into splintering pieces. After another devastating strike from the dual catapults from the Draconia Naval Defense fleet, Stoick has had enough of this and ordered a retreat
"We're leaving, the nest has been destroyed but they'll be out for revenge against us; return back to Berk immediately and have Ms. Hofferson track down that Devil Rider who took and killed my son. He's not getting away from me!" Stoick ordered
"Yes Chief!" The Hooligans replied
The Hairy Hooligan Longships fled with very few, but still a large number of them left back to their Island of Berk while the Knights of the Dragon Riders land in the ruins of what was left for them. The houses are left smoking, the areas have been blocked off by the wreckage and now even the Main Hall stood no more. Draconia has fallen not by the hands of the Dragon Hunters, but by the hands of Stoick the Vast and the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. The Black King's Sanctuary was broken and the Black King himself came out of the icy fortress to see the horrible mess that was made
"Maria... you better lead while I-" He asked the Huntress, the two of them have been developing an relationship with each other since the first time they met and their love has become clear to the others when Maria kissed him after the final death of Drago Bludvist
"I know, you just watch yourself out there" She placed a hand on his shoulder
"Thanks, there's something that I must do" Drayko spoke with unease in his voice
"Hope we can see you again this time" Raedwit told him
"Something tells me that you'll be gone for awhile" Raijah stated
"I will be and we'll not really be fighting alongside each other very much like our last journey, but this one is something that I have to do alone with Toothless; Raedwit, I know you'll keep Vixen safe like you always do with her. We'll see each other again soon"
"If you run into any Dragon Hunters out there, don't hesitate to strike their weakened state" Eret told him, pointing at with a single finger like a gun
"I'll have the Black King relocate the Dragons to the Edge, do not engage with my former husband; he's bound to have his Hooligan Longships looking out for signs of you" Valka hugged her son before parting away
"I'll be sure to look out for them, especially those Teens..." He spat out with venom in his voice at the end
"But won't they come looking for me as well? I don't want to lose Meatlug either" Fishlegs spoke with uncertainty and slight fear in his voice
"They'll be merciful with you since they believe that you were abducted by me unwillingly, they care for any of their own except for Hiccup since he's no Viking; just a dead weight who's keeping the Hooligans from winning their god damn pointless and useless war" He mounted onto Toothless and activated the Tailfin before Bladehead approached him with the Frostheart Axe that was reconstructed to rid of all remnants of the Hooligans and Dragon Hunter's craftsmanship and stolen usage
"You ain't goin' nowhere without this, reconstructed by aye' with none of that Hooligan nor Hunter shit left to have it stand out" Drayko took the Frostheart Axe and placed in on his back behind his cape before taking off, the rest of the Knights all bid their farewell to their leader before flying away from what remains of Draconia; knowing that they will see him again very soon when the time comes for the final battle at Berk, Stoick's fate will soon be and is coming
HTTYD
Meanwhile with Stoick, Chieftain of the Hairy Hooligans among the Isle of Berk, he was looking over the edge of the harbor. With the image of the Devil Rider and Night Fury in his mind, he had an drawn image that was given to him by their late sea faring trader Johann in his last will as he was murdered by Drayko and Toothless months ago, but it all seemed like a long time from the present day. The man refused to call them by their names as the two of them are not even worthy to deserve a name, but when Johann revealed that his wife was alive and working for the Devil Rider; he was heartbroken but still considered that there was still good left inside of her to know that she's working with a Devil loving monster, only further signifying his smug arrogance that he doesn't consider himself to be one himself: A Dragon hating monster who has hated his son more than he hates Loki because he worships a Trickster and perfers Courage over Honor
"Chief, the teen volunteers are accounted for and are ready to track down Drayko the Traitorous Viking-Slayer and rescue the Ingerman boy"
"Very well then, have them set sail for this voyage and if they can't find him; I've sent an helping hand to the Northern Markets to find out what they know about the Devil Rider, says that he came from the Desert of the Decayed Kings; at least that's what I think he told me, not too sure where exactly he really came from though..." Stoick continued to watch as the Teens got on the Hooligan Longship being run by a small crew as they sailed off before walking away
Astrid was obviously the leader of this voyage as Spitelout once told his nephew in order to alert him about what was happening on Berk. The Jorgenson had delayed them long enough to make sure that they killed Drago Bludvist for good, he has fully turned away from the Hooligans and joined Drayko's side. He knows that his Son will be upset at this betrayal, but he knows that there is no turning back now that he has his nephew to look out for. Snotlout was more or less on this trip but only because he wants to finish what Stoick should've finished, and that is to have Drayko blood eagled and killed by his hand. What a fucking moron he is. The Thorston Twins act as more like Snot's bodyguards as they still continue to fight and argue with each other, but have dedicated their lives to Loki for they are known for causing impressive pranks throughout the Isle of Berk; they had seen this coming from a long way ahead, they both carry interchangeable spear staffs that can be a Mace for Tuffnut and an double bladed axe for Ruffnut. The Mace Spear's blade was wrapped in some olive green bandages and was thicker while the Axe Spear's blade was slimmer and serrated as both of these weapons can click and lock together for dual wielding purposes (A/N: This was from the HTTYD 2 Artwork of the Dragon Rider's weapons along with Gobber and Stoick's of course) The other crew members were meant for one thing: sailing and notifying when they have reached their location
The Hooligan Longship had it's anchor hoisted up and made a departure for the voyage of this temptation up ahead, leaving behind their Island they all call home and set sail for the open seas of the Archipelago before them into the war that was now becoming their own as Astrid once told Hiccup. Speaking of whom, she was busy sharpening her very first Axe that belonged to her mother's once and was made even better by whom she believed was Gobber; amazing how she never once suspected something that felt unfitting about "Gobber's" craftsmanship, sooner the truth will be revealed to them very soon to not only her but to all of Berk as well. Drayko knew of the consequences that will follow, and so he had come up with the stages of terrible and foul acts that the Vikings of Berk will most definitely do in order to have him stripped of his pride
1: Shock, this is common for the revelation of the truth but will not last long. They will have to act soon
2: Denial, they will continue to be delusional thinking that this is another one of the Thorston's Pranks until they can't hide the truth anymore
3: Ignorance and Refusal, ignoring his helping hand in aiding Gobber at the Forge and refusal to credit the one who fixes and makes their weapons better. It gets worse...
4: Rudeness and Insults, spewing venom and hatred at him for "Cursing their weapons" just to torture him no matter and regardless of the great deeds he's done for them. Saying that he will always be a disappointment even when Ragnarok calls for him in the afterlife, motherfuckers...
5: Rejection, the main reason why Hiccup hates doing deliveries
6: Destruction, burn down and destroy any and all weaponry made by "Useless the Unwanted" as Snotbitch would call him by all means necessary
7: Death Threat, the worst of the worst. All Vikings threaten to destroy their only source from where their weapons come from and threaten to kill Gobber unless Hiccup is stripped from his position as Blacksmith, he is not allowed to go anywhere near his Forge ever again and he will be exiled without hesitation nor be allowed to plead for his so called crimes against the Hooligans. To further add insult to injury, Hiccup is not allowed to go anywhere near Gobber either as they know he's one of his only friends and they're gonna make him feel the true hell for his treasonous acts against the Hooligans as well as his shame and dishonor that he has brought upon them. Like he ever gave two flying fuckshits about Honor at all... this is the shattering point of the edge where there's no return
Snotlout was waiting for his time to come in the shadows, doing nothing but imagining like arrogant foolish asshole that he is. He sees his future as the great Chieftain of Berk as the one who killed Useless the Unwanted with Astrid as his beloved one, to further fuel his lust as she can reject and brush him off coldly for as long as she wants; she cannot refuse him, she will always be his and his alone; even if he has to force her against her own will. Stoick will be proud of him just like his father would while either Hiccup submits to his rule or be exiled and hunted to be blood eagled like the filthy Hooligan Dog that he is. As a matter of fact Stoick's gonna have force him to kill a Dragon and come home with a head under his arm or risk getting exiled for disobeying orders, he'll be happy to finally get what he wants since he's always getting praise. Might as well be a Gary Fucking Stu...
"Madam Hofferson" The captain called to her
"Yes?" She asked, awaiting response
"We're en route to where we'll be tracking down Drayko the Traitorous was last seen flying to on that Night Fury of his, it'll be about six days from now before we reach his location. We're gonna be taking a shortcut and pass by what the map calls Slitherwing Island"
"Thank the Gods for that map, alright be sure to notify us when we reach wherever that shameful, dishonorable, lying weasel retreated to"
"Yes madam" He returned his attention to the sea while Astrid looked into her very sharpened and very strong Backup Axe in case the one she's using is destroyed. The reflection gave her a fierce edge and made her speak silently to herself, to the six days that lie ahead for her friends
"Get ready you traitorous toothpick, we're coming for both you and your Night Fury; but I have another reason whether you like Honor or not..."
HTTYD
Back with Drayko and Toothless, they flew through the grape to jam purple skies and marmalade orange tinted clouds of the afternoon from this long day; and what a long day it was indeed. Draconia left in ruins, the Knights having to scatter and now Valka having to keep all the wild untamed Dragons safe from Stoick's relentless assault barrage; dammit, he knew this was gonna happen soon but not when he was reading the journals of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I and II. Fucking shit, this was all just so frustrating; damn
"Had I not slain my brother, Furious the Seahydramus Tidalmus Maximus using the Nightbreaker created from Volcanripper Metal strengthened by the Plasma of my Night Fury, Midnightfrost and given it's ability to grow stronger in the moon and darkness of the night by Loki; drenching his dark emerald blood and knowing that I myself have lived a long and good life as my father would've done the same had he not broken the oath and forbiddingly change the Dragonmark as I could not allow him to live with that burden on his back, I have decided to stab the Nightbreaker into the stone wall of an Ancient Castle inside so that my grandson may find it and reclaim it's power. Awaken the courage inside so that this Ancient Castle may not claim yours..." Drayko read out loud to Toothless in order to know where they're heading
"Ancient Castle... here in the Archipelago? Hmm... I'd say it's miles and distances away from the Screaming Death Island Victims: Thor Rock, Crescent and Sunstone at the Northwest. It takes more than six days by ship if you're an idiot enough to make a shortcut by Slitherwing Island, which of course you're not; rather be intoxicated by Dragonvine than cut through that place. Then again you do have that Birthmark of yours so at least there's that"
"Do not remind me of the Dragonvine incident, Bayana deserved better than what I did to him for sneaking that god damn plant into your saddle; trying to kill you and anybody who does try to kill you deserves no mercy from me!"
"They were trying escape Drago's wrath of not having them exceed their expectations of being warriors for the Dragon Hunter Army, turned out to them that they were only farmers from Africa. And that was Meatlug who got strangled by the Dragonvine, remember?"
"Making Fishlegs cry is just as enjoyable as making an old fart cry, it's not as funny as you think. Meatlug's always getting the worst out of it"
(A/N: As Gibby once said in iCarly: iGot a Hot Room during the scene where Spencer gets a Haircut from Gibby's Grandfather. "Do you really want to see a old man cry? It's not as funny as you think")
"Can't believe you're still bitter about that... Yeah it's true he snuck Dragonvine into my saddle because they thought they can weaponize it without the use of the Silkspanners, but still ended up regretting what he did"
"Now he knows the hard way as Arson always carries many different cures for these issues. I do not hate the boy for doing this as he now knows the truth, but now he's living on with that burden on his back the next time we encounter Bayana's Tribe" He spoke with some remorse in his voice
"Better to not know what's right or wrong than to be making mistakes on purpose. Oh and the Ancient Castle is just up ahead, those Journals mentioned that it was hidden behind some fog right?" He asked him
"Damn right, apparently it mysteriously vanishes in the daylight and returns in the total darkness of the night according to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II's Journal. Makes it a perfect place to make sure nobody but me gets their hands on his sword, what other place than to have it stored within a Cursed Island by Night? Let's go, bud"
With that final act burned into their shared minds as a sign of their bond, Drayko and Toothless flew further to the Upper Northwest and into the dark and imitating fog; from what came out from behind was like a land of it's own like Mierveia Vde Rallie, but this Island was an single large one of it's own. Standing high and mighty with it's 8 foot tall rocky and mountainous walls, this cursed island was an shattered chain that has barely begun to divide itself from the mainland. To further add in to it's fearsome and disturbing sight to behold, was the large main castle like building housing hallways to a library, dark sewers to waterways, cathedral to an garden, an bedroom to a coliseum and much more to encounter inside it's very walls. It was rather frightening to approach such structure as this for no one has returned alive from the front gates, pray that it does not claim the lives of our heroes who reclaim the Nightbreaker. They landed in front and begun to walk from here on out on the stone path laid before them, walking over the gazebo walkway and stopping at the entrance inside of the castle
"This is it, we'll not be able to go outside of this place once we head inside again for awhile; but there's always gonna be some rewards for us during our little journey"
"Let's get your Grandfather's Sword and teach those Vikings some matters about kindness"
"Those faggots know nothing about kindness, they just don't like to admit it's existence. Let's head inside"
The duo of brothers walked up to the steps and ascended towards the large hole in the side of the Castle's tower, and once inside the wall had sealed them within; rising up and closing it's moving stone doorway, leaving behind no sign that it was ever an entrance into the interior of the Main Hall of the Castle. A flight of stairs and an giant monument of the Castellan was present, Drayko and Toothless looked all around before walking further inside
Thus, setting forward the chain events that shall lead to the twilight and end of the Hairy Hooligans Tribe...
You do not know how long I've been meaning to write this story down for awhile, I've had this story play out in my dreams for a long time since I was writing down the previous stories before this. As a matter of fact I wrote down an "Story Bridge Structure" on paper to help me play out the events, though here I'm putting it all into detail so that i'll be a longer story. Hope you're excited just as I am because I like to see you read the next upcoming chapters I've got planned in due time. Although I'm gonna be finishing up on The Beginning rewrite and start on the 1st Half of Curse of the Emperor's Sword rewrite because did you see how many chapters that is? I had to end the story abruptly with an abandoned chapter that was not finished. Anyways you hate this story? You do not read it, that's just a policy for those haters out there. As tradition, Feel Free to Review and Until we meet again...
TheLegendaryBlackDragonKnight
P.S: I know I didn't bother writing down what the Teen's new appearances look like, but that's only because I've gotten Snotbitch's Armor and Weapons done so I can eventually reveal to you guys what he now looks like. For now he'll be appearing as his previous look from the 2nd Story that's due for rewriting, the first half which I'll stop at... Chapter 16; because I write WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH for you guys
