This is a Two-Shot A/U of the fight scene between Toothless and the Bewilderbeast. It annoyed me, and probably many other fans, that Drago's Bewilderbeast didn't fight back. That would have made for a much more interesting ending, like the Red Death fight. She fought back.
Enjoy!
Toothless broke through the ice he had been incased in moments before. He roared at the Bewilderbeast, only turning his head to make sure Hiccup was ok. He warbled affectionately and jumped up onto a spike of ice. Toothless roared. He challenged the Bewilderbeast to a fight. Not knowing what came over him, the Bewilderbeast accepted the challenge and roared back.
Toothless shot two plasma blasts at the stunned Alpha. He was confused. How did the Night Fury blast through his ice? He shook himself as a third plasma blast sailed his way.
The Bewilderbeast reared up on his hind legs and broke a spike the Night Fury was standing on. Toothless flipped onto a spike a bit lower, but nearly lost his footing as the Alpha shot ice to his left.
They both knew Toothless couldn't be controlled anymore. The big dragon didn't bother trying. He got hit by another plasma blast.
The Bewilderbeast shot ice straight for Toothless, who leapt away at the last minute. The big dragon bellowed and followed Toothless with a trail of ice.
Toothless ran through the village streets. He needed Hiccup. Most of the Vikings had retreated to the Great Hall steps after realizing Toothless wasn't going to win that easily. He roared for Hiccup, the Alpha crashing its way through the houses.
Hiccup ran towards the sound, shrugging off Astrid's and Valka's pleas to stay. Both friends rounded the same corner and collided. They nearly got covered in ice again.
Hiccup quickly strapped himself into the saddle, Toothless shooting plasma blasts at the Alpha to slow him. They took to the air, avoiding the Bewilderbeast's tusk.
They flew to Gothi's hut and landed on top, breathing heavily. Toothless shot a blast above the Bewilderbeast. The Alpha immediately turned back.
Drago had been hiding in the crown of his Bewilderbeast. Now he shouted in anger. They had been so close to killing the Night Fury and his rider. And his dragon ignores that fact. WHY? Whatever that wretched Night Fury did, it prevented his Bewilderbeast from obeying him. Drago couldn't force the stupid beast to attack. The dragon slumped heavily on the ground in the center of the village, flattening all the surrounding buildings.
Toothless was desperately trying to form a plan. The Alpha had surprised him when he chased him through the village.
"Get a decoy!" Hiccup exclaimed suddenly. Toothless warbled thoughtfully. A plan was starting to form in his mind.
Hiccup dismounted and walked into Gothi's hut. Toothless followed. There was an assortment of herbs, bandages, and jars. But Hiccup walked past them into Gothi's bedroom.
He saw a bed and a few life-sized sculptures. There was one of a Terrible Terror, her purple Gronkle, and Toothless. "I remembered Gothi made yours as soon as I could walk again. Don't you? She took you for a while", Hiccup said. Toothless did remember. How could he forget being confined in this small room for a week?
Hiccup dragged the Toothless sculpture onto the platform and Toothless lifted it to the other side of the hut.
"Ok Toothless. Signal you're ready to fight", Hiccup said. Toothless shot a blast at the Bewilderbeast. The great dragon stood.
Hiccup and Toothless had already hidden behind the hut. The Alpha grunted. He knew he wouldn't be able to find them on his own, so he sent about 10 dragons after them. This was what the pair had been waiting for.
Toothless used his echolocation to figure out where the dragons were. As soon as they were close enough, the Night Fury threw the sculpture off the hut. Luckily, Gothi made him with open wings, and used a light material, so the sculpture glided down into the forest with ease.
The dragons hovered in place. The Alpha had seen the sculpture fall. Was he going to buy it? The Bewilderbeast sent off a lot more dragons after the sculpture, leaving the best dragons with him.
Toothless and Hiccup let out a sigh of relief. The Alpha seemed excited because he thought he found Toothless.
The plan collapsed when the great dragon walked into the water and sunk beneath the waves. His small group of dragons landed in the village square. He wasn't going to let them show his location.
The pair had been hoping the Bewilderbeast would stay in the village, letting the dragons do the dirty work. Then they would ambush him from behind. But it was clear the Bewilderbeast wanted in on the action.
Everyone had forgotten about Drago, even when he came to the surface of the water, gasping and spluttering.
There was a fire in the forest. The dragons had clearly found the sculpture and burned it.
A dragon came back to report, but he sent her away before she got too close. The King of Dragons was now very angry. He thought he had them! He used his mind to send the dragons to destroy the little hut.
Hiccup and Toothless saw the dragons coming after them. They dived to the water and shot across it. The dragons saw. They chased them. Toothless was the fastest, but he was also tired. These dragons would continue at their top speed even if they were wounded. Only the skrills were keeping up.
They just hoped the Alpha wouldn't send Cloudjumper, for he had been left behind as part of the 'honor guard'. He was the only dragon who had a chance of catching up to Toothless.
"Bud. Through the sea stacks", Hiccup whispered in his ear flap. Toothless flew higher. Hiccup didn't understand. "I said sea stacks. Not mountain".
Toothless just flicked his ear flap. He knew what he was doing.
He flew higher, veering towards the sea stacks. It was a familiar route, but Hiccup couldn't put his finger on it.
He risked a glance back. The dragons were hot on Toothless's tail. To his dismay he also saw a small group of dragons farther back, one having four wings. Drago's Bewilderbeast had sent in the 'honor guard'.
Wait, where is Drago? Hiccup had no time to ponder this question, because Toothless was almost to the sea stacks now.
He was diving. Then it hit Hiccup. They were going to go to a trip back in time! Their first ever flight together!
The Alpha was almost in position. He knew what needed to be done. He had seen what the Night Fury was going to do. Not in his mind, no. The route they were taking would get rid of most of the dragons after them. No one could make those tight turns except the Night Fury.
Hiccup and Toothless were racing through the sea stacks like they did six years ago.
They could hear many dragons screeching in pain as they collided with the stacks. The pair felt bad, but there was nothing they could do.
Toothless felt the heat of Cloudjumper's fire. He had caught up. Toothless slapped Hiccup with an ear flap, signaling they needed to take a slightly different route to avoid the flames.
They banked to the right, causing the flames to lick the spot they were just in. Cloudjumper grunted as he hit a sea stack.
They were almost to the end. In their joy they forgot about the Bewilderbeast. They had three stacks to go when the Alpha burst from the water. Toothless was going too fast to stop, and he hit the Bewilderbeast in the stomach, just like the dragons hit the sea stacks.
OOOOO a cliffhanger. Don't you just love them? I was originally planning to do a One-Shot, but I wanted a cliffhanger. You're welcome folks!
