NEW STORY :D
Sorry, I was having massive writers block for 'More Than a Shadow' so what better way to cure it than to create a new story...
In other words the next chapter for MTaS could take a bit longer than I had hoped.
Anyway back to this, it will be short to say the least. I'm thinking 3/4 chapters.
You might notice that I had to do a few changes in dialogue from the Second Movie. My reasoning is that it is set in an Alternate Universe, so they don't say similar things. Problem solved ;)
This story contains spoilers from HTTYD 2 so if you haven't seen the movie yet (First off WHY HAVEN'T YOU?!) go and watch it and then come back to this.
Side note: I am doing a colab with bigmike33321! Our project is DM Academy. Set in modern times, it contains an original character of his creation and characters from the HTTYD universe! So if you are interested in reading it, go check out Mike's page!
Alright I hope you enjoy Farewell Fallen Rider :)
Drago Bludvist looks satisfyingly over the battlefield where war is ensuing. His Bewilderbeast had just killed another one, the one belonging to Valka the dragon rider. He marvels at the sight of the giant ice titan shooting the rider and Stormcutter down to the ground below.
"STOP!" says another masked man riding a Night Fury, previously believed to be the 'Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death', now tamed and being flown by a Viking. The duo lands behind the behemoth that is Drago. Dismounting, the man removes his mask and reveals himself to Drago who in return, laughs menacingly.
"This is the great 'Dragon Master', son of Stoick the Vast," Drago says mockingly. "What shame he must feel," He continues mocking Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III of his shorter and skinny stature.
"Gods Astrid, why must you say more than you need to?" asks Hiccup to himself. "Why are you doing this Drago? What purpose does this serve? To become unstoppable? To rule the world?" he asks Drago.
"You ask too many questions boy, you have yet to open your eyes to the real world," replies Drago in his deep, gravel-like voice. His voice sounds similar to the way he looks: rough and battered up.
"You are taking advantage of such peaceful creatures, you cannot do this. I won't allow it," pleas Hiccup.
"Peaceful? You believe these monsters are peaceful?!" roars Drago. "They are not capable of peace, they are only capable of war and slaughter!" Drago unclips his metallic prosthetic arm and reveals nothing but a stub where an arm should be. Hiccup gasps at the fact of what a dragon had done to the warlord's arm. "I know what it is like to live and suffer, to watch everything you love taken. To watch your home burn to the ground. All caused by dragons. Even as a child when my arm was taken, I knew what I wanted to do; to control the beasts."
"You want to control more than just the dragons, you want to use them. To put those who surrender into line, and to murder those that refuse," retorts Hiccup.
Drago chuckles quietly. "Clever boy."
"I know you have your own ideas of dragons, but there is another side to this particular coin," replies Hiccup. He reaches behind and pulls forward a lever on Toothless' saddle, opening up the tailfin so anyone could ride him, regardless of their experience level. "Just let me show you-"
"NO!" roars Drago. "Let me show you!" He turns around and raises his bull hook to the air and spins it around his body, roaring loudly. His Bewilderbeast stomps over to him.
Valka and Stoick direct their attention from hiding from the ice giant to Drago, roaring like a maniac in front of their son and his dragon companion. "Hiccup!" yells Stoick. The couple start running down the glacier.
"What is he thinking Stoick?" asks Valka with concern.
He looks towards his wife behind him. "He is trying to reason with a man who cannot be reasoned with!" The Chief passes by his trusty companion Gobber who is slowly marching up the mountain. "Come on Gobber, this way!"
"Gobber looks behind him. "Right, change of plan!" He turns and starts following the Chief down the mountain.
"Who were you talking to Gobber?" asks the Chief who is panting at this point.
"Uhh no one Stoick, just to m'self." Replies Gobber, trying to hide the fact he could have been talking to someone who was watching him.
Back down the mountain, Drago is boasting the power of the Bewilderbeast to Hiccup. "No dragon can resist the Alpha's control," he points to the Alpha with his bull hook. "So he who controls the Alpha, controls them all." He points the bull hook at Toothless who in return sheepishly looks up at the titan. The dragon's eyes constrict and a deep hum is barely audible. Toothless starts groaning in pain and Hiccup stands by frozen by fear and confusion. "Witness true strength." Toothless starts rolling on the ground. "The strength of will over others." Toothless is clawing the ground and flaring his teeth in agony and pain. Toothless stops resisting and raises up, and opening his eyes revealing his possession from the Alpha. "In the face of it, You. Are. Nothing." Drago points the bull hook at Hiccup and Toothless turns his head to face his rider.
"Toothless?" questions Hiccup. The possessed Toothless opens his wings up into an aggressive position and starts walking towards Hiccup, roaring at his friend. "What did he tell you to do?"
Meanwhile Stoick, Valka, and Gobber notice the Night Fury has turned on Hiccup. "We have to hurry!" yells Stoick. Stoick and Valka start sprinting ahead of Gobber, the amputee, who cannot run that fast. Stoick is running as fast as he can towards his son. He throws his axe at a rope, holding up a mast from a beached ship. It falls down towards the desk of the ship. Running down the mast, Stoick and Valka finally reach ground level and are a mere 100 yards away from Hiccup. "HICCUP!" screams Stoick
Hiccup turns to see his family running towards him. "DAD! MOM! STOP!" he turns to Toothless. "Snap out of it!"
"SON!" yells Stoick. 75 yards away.
"STOP!" yells Hiccup who kept backing away from his dragon. His parents are 50 yards away. Toothless' mouth glows a bright blue aura.
"HICCUP!" yells Stoick and Valka. 20 yards.
"MOM, DAD, STOP! TOOTH-"
Stoick and Valka watch in horror as the Night Fury fires a powerful blast, right at their son's chest.
Excuse me for a minute while I cry on the inside. :'(
Sorry for trying to break the 'Fourth Wall' earlier :/
So that was Chapter 1. Let me know what you think in a review.
I look forward to reading it.
You. Are. Awesome. :)
