The sea shook as the two titanic beasts grappled with each other, trying to force the other onto it's back. Hiccup had been observing this colossal battle between these two "Death" dragons. one was black, and the other was green. The impact as the two dragons flew back and forth colliding with each other with enough force to destroy a volcano, neither beast was backing down.

"How long is this going to go on for?! they've been trying to rip each other apart for hours!"

Astrid pulled in close to respond.

"They certainly don't look like they are going to give up yet. either way, we have bigger problems. Fishlegs just reported that this slugfest is slowly heading towards Berk"

Hiccup facepalmed hard. great. juuust great. another dragon problem for me to deal with. there's no way we can steer those beasts away from Berk without getting pulverized, and we can't sit by and do nothing!

The twins wheren't helping matters either. they were addicted to destruction, so the sight of two queens engaged in a duel to the death was heaven for them.

"Go Greeny!" shouted Ruffnut.

"Go Blacky!" shouted Tuffnut.

Hiccup didn't even know why he had let them come along with the group. it usually meant that problems got bigger and more numerous.

"Hiccup!"

Hiccup turned to see fishlegs swerving in to tell him something.

"I was on my way to Berk to get an idea of how close we were to home, and I saw a nearby volcano erupt! shortly afterwards, something crawled out, and started to fly this way!"

Hiccup was all business.

"Was it another Death?"

Fishlegs shook his head vigorously.

"No, It was much bigger, looked to have a broader wingspan, and was less ripped"

At that excact moment, an earsplitting roar of sheer ferocity exploded into existance. An enormous beast was headed their way. It looked the way fishlegs had described. clearly not a Death.

It had a more flat, triangular head. with eyes that were full of sheer hatred. This beast was set on destruction. opening it's jaws, it loosed a blast of orange energy at the Deaths. turning from their battle, the two dragons roared in defiance of this newcomer. the creature roared back, and began to gain altitude. the two dragons responded by unleashing twin blasts of fire at the creature. as it was bathed in the hellish flames, the creature's eyes narrowed. It had lived off the blood of the earth for thousands of millenia. their pitiful flames were useless. drawing upon the heat from the flames, the beast launched another blast of energy straight through the chest of the Green Death. the dragon let out one last scream of agony before it died, collapsing into the ocean and sinking to the bottom.

The Black death was now wary of the creature. It ceased the stream of fire, then flew to meet the beast head on. The beast dived towards it's rising opponent. extending it's claws in front of it, it resolved to rip this annoying pest to shreds.

As the beast collided with the Black Death, it raised it's claws and slashed the dragons face, damaging two of it's six eyes. then, using it's spiked tail, it impaled the Black Death. Finally, just to finish it off, it bit into it's neck, and ripped it's head off. The body of the Black Death sunk into the depths, as the monster roared in victory.

"By Thor's Hammer! What it this thing?!"

Fishlegs just looked in terror. It had cost Hiccup his leg, and Toothless, his prosthetic to beat a Red Death before, now this beast had defeated two of them! Without so much breaking a sweat! Fishlegs came back to the present when the beast turned around, saw the teens, and narrowed it's glowing yellow eyes.

"Yeah... time to go!"

The teens turned their dragons around, and bolted for the sea stacks. they didn't make it far. the beast hurtled past them, and began to beat it's wings as powerfully as possible. soon all the dragons were thrown far off into the distance, before crashing into the ocean. Satisfied that they would not be coming back, the beast began to fly towards hell heins gate. there was energy there. energy for it to take.

Deep below the surface of the sea, the bodies of the two fallen combatents struck the bottom of the sea, sending out a powerful shockwave. the smell of energy radiated from the beasts, along with a unique scent to minute for small animals to track. not far from the rotting carcasses, the sea floor shook, then rose slightly from the rock. an enormous head broke free from the sediment that had built up over it's years of slumber. a single small eye opened, filled with purpose, and anger.
