I'm sorry this took so long guys, I'm reeaally sorry. But I'll make it up to you. As the title says, this chapter is pretty self-explanatory. I'm not going to sit here rambling on, on with the story.

Chapter 2: The New Alpha

At the Academy, all the Dragons on Berk were gathered there. Some of them were in the arena and some were in the stands, around the arena. The now four Dragon Leaders stood at the back of the Academy arena. Hiccup and Lars were there as well. All the Dragons were talking amongst themselves in a panicking manner.

"What are we going to do without our Alpha?"

"Why did he leave us?"

"How can we live without the Alpha?"

"Control yourselves!" Stormfly ordered. All the Dragons calmed down and looked at the SharpQueen.

"Yes, Alpha Toothless left. Yes, it's a tragic thing, but aren't you forgetting about us?" Stormfly asked.

"That's right," Hookfang started, "we are the Dragon Leaders. We were intrusted by the Alpha himself as a new leadership."

"Even though the Alpha has left," Barf started.

"A new one can always take his place," Belch finished. Stormfly nodded towards the ShadowLord.

"Who?" An anonymous Dragon asked. The SharpQueen sighed.

"Well, your leaders have discussed it, and we have decided that Cloudjumper should do it," Stormfly stated. Cloudjumper, who was next to the Dragon Leaders, stepped forward.

"Although I understand Lady Stormfly's motives, I must detest." Stormfly looked at the Stormcutter with confusion. "I am the Alpha's bodyguard and second in command, so it is my duty. But I believe the Alpha's one son, Stormblaze, should take the throne," Cloudjumper said, looking at Stormblaze who was beside Cammy and her family a few metres away. Stormblaze and all the Dragons were taken aback by this.

"M-Me?" Stormblaze asked. The large crowed of Dragons became restless once again.

"Why him?"

"He's just a kid."

"Why would you suggest someone like him?" When Lars heard these words from the Dragons, he got angry. The human put his right hand into the air.

"ENOUGH!" He yelled. As he shouted, a large blue wave of plasma emitted from his raised hand and spanned through the entirety of the arena, silencing the Dragons and drawing their attention towards him. Once everyone was quiet, he put his hand back down.

"How can all of you be so judgmental?" The human asked. "What gives any of you the right to decide whether he should be Alpha or not?" The Dragons that were disagreeing felt bad for what they said. Hiccup stepped forward.

"That's right. If anyone's going to decide it should be Stormblaze," Hiccup stated. Hiccup looked at the Nadder Fury. "What is your decision?" The Chief asked. Everyone that was there looked at Stormblaze, expecting him to speak. Stormblaze felt uneasy with all the eyes staring at him, but he ignored it as he thought. He looked around at all the Dragons, and then down to his girlfriend.

"What do you think?" Stormblaze asked. Cammy smiled at him.

"I think, what does your heart tell you?" Cammy asked, licking his cheek lovingly. Stormblaze thought about Cammy's words. If he became Alpha, would he have enough time to be with Cammy? Would the Dragons accept him as Alpha? Even if they did, would they look up to him, or would they be intimidated by him? These questions ran through Stormblaze's mind.

"My heart? In that case… I'll do it," Stormblaze said, hesitantly. Stormfly smiled.

"Thank you, Stormblaze," She thought. "Stormblaze, Leaders, come with me to the Great Hall. The rest of you are dismissed," Stormfly said, taking off with the other Leaders to the Great Hall.

"I'm so happy you decided to go with it," Cammy said, nuzzling her head to Stormblaze's neck. Once she stopped, Stormblaze gave her a quick lick on the cheek.

"I'm not the Alpha yet. I'll see you all later, bye," Stormblaze said, turning around and taking off to the Great Hall.

Up at the Great Hall, the Dragon Leaders were giving Stormblaze an initiation for his place as Alpha. The Leaders stood at the base of the fire pit while Stormblaze stood a few feet away from them in the middle of the hall.

"Stormblaze, step forward," Stormfly said. Stormblaze stepped closer to his mother. "You have been given the choice of taking your father's place as Alpha, which you have accepted, and now it's time for your ritual," Stormfly finished. Stormblaze became uneasy from the word ritual.

"R-Ritual?" He asked in an uncomfortable tone of voice. Meatlug chuckled.

"Don't worry, it's just an initiation your father created in case there was ever a new Alpha to take his place," Meatlug said. Stormblaze let out a sigh of relief and calmed down.

"Oh ok," He said.

"Stormblaze," Stormfly started, "do you swear to protect Berk?" She asked.

"I do," Stormblaze answered.

"Do you swear to protect Berk from any danger, no matter what the peril, no matter what the cost?" Stormfly asked again.

"I do," Stormblaze repeated. Stormfly turned her attention to Hookfang.

"FireLord," She said. Hookfang stepped forward and Stormfly turned back to her son. "The FireLord will give you a scorch mark to symbolize your place as Alpha," Stormfly said. The FireLord went to Stormblaze's side and placed the side of one of his crescent claws on the Nadder Fury's side.

"This may hurt a bit, but try not to struggle," Hookfang said. Stormblaze nodded in understanding and braced himself. Hookfang lit his claw on fire, causing Stormblaze to wince in pain. After a few more seconds, Hookfang extinguished his claw and removed it from Stormblaze's scales, revealing a black crescent mark on his yellow scales. Stormblaze looked at the marking as Hookfang stepped back to the other Leaders.

"The crescent mark of the Alpha," Stormblaze said. He looked back at the Leaders who were all bowing. Stormblaze never had this happen to him before. This was a completely new sign of respect towards him that made him feel of the upper class, but at the same time, it made him feel a bit bad for himself. "Now I know how my father feels," Stormblaze thought.

"As you are the new Alpha of Berk, we bow before you in respect," Stormfly said. Stormblaze didn't know what to say. He was speechless. Was this what he would have to put up with? Dragons, bowing to him as he walked past? Stormblaze didn't want that, but this was his duty. To protect the Dragons of Berk, and the ones he loves.

"Is this what it means to be Alpha?" Stormblaze asked. "To be bowed to." The Leaders stood up straight. Stormfly chuckled.

"You sound just like your father," Stormfly said. Stormblaze sighed. He turned around and began to walk towards the doors. "Are you okay Stormblaze?" Stormfly asked. Stormblaze continued walking.

"Ever since the discussion came up, I never wanted to be the Alpha..." Stormblaze started, "but now look at me; I have just become the Alpha, the one thing I promised myself I wouldn't be." Stormblaze reached the doors and slowly pushed them open with his wings.

"But… that was two years ago. Now, I have matured. And, as the new Alpha, I will protect this land, and the ones I love no matter the cost," He said, fully opening the doors. Stormfly smiled at his son's determination.

"There he is. That's the Stormblaze I know," Stormfly thought. The Dragon Leaders walked up to the Alpha.

Hiccup and Valka, who were riding on the back of Cloudjumper, had just started to land as Stormblaze stepped out of the Great Hall. The humans dismounted from Cloudjumper and the three walked up to the Alpha.

"Hello, Alpha," Hiccup greeted.

"Hello Chief," Stormblaze greeted back.

"Alpha Stormblaze, as you may or may not know I am assigned to protect the Alpha. So I will act as your bodyguard from here on out," Cloudjumper explained. Stormblaze nodded towards the Stormcutter.

"Thank you Cloudjumper, I appreciate it," Stormblaze thanked. Hiccup walked up to Stormblaze.

"So Stormblaze, because Toothless is gone, I guess I'm going to have to be your rider," Hiccup said. Stormblaze huffed out a laugh.

"Hmph. Is that so?" He asked. Hiccup heled his palm out.

"That's right," Hiccup said. Stormblaze looked at Hiccup's palm for a few seconds before closing his eyes and pressing his snout to Hiccup's palm. After a few seconds Stormblaze reared his head back and Hiccup put his hand down. "You ready to get going?" Hiccup asked.

"You bet," Stormblaze said. Hiccup then mounted Stormblaze. "But before we go patrolling, I would like to stop to visit Cammy," Stormblaze said.

"Sure," Hiccup said. Stormblaze flapped his wings and took off towards Cammy's home.

"Excuse me Lady Valka," Cloudjumper said before taking off and following the Alpha.

Stormblaze, Hiccup and Cloudjumper landed outside Lars' house. Hiccup dismounted from Stormblaze and stepped back. Stormblaze walked towards the slightly opened door of the house before stopping and turning his head back to Hiccup and Cloudjumper.

"Could you two wait here please?" Stormblaze asked. Hiccup and Cloudjumper nodded and stayed where they were. Stormblaze walked up to the door and slightly pushed it open with his head. "Hello?" He called out.

"Come in," Durga's voice called. Stormblaze fully opened the door and walked through. Durga was lying on her belly at the edge of the upper floor. "Hello Alpha Stormblaze, how are you?" Durga asked. Stormblaze, like Toothless, didn't like them addressing him as Alpha, even though it was proper manners.

"I'm fine, but please don't call me 'Alpha Stormblaze'," He said. Durga jumped down from the upper floor and stood straight.

"I'm sorry," She said. Then, all of a sudden, Cammy came rushing down the stairs with a big smile on her face, happy to see her boyfriend.

"Hi Stormblaze," She said happily. Stormblaze walked up to Cammy and quickly kissed her on the lips.

"Hi Cammy," Stormblaze said.

"How did it go? Are you the Alpha now?" Cammy asked. Stormblaze turned his side to Cammy, showing her the crescent burn mark.

"Yep, this burn symbolizes my place as Alpha," He said. Cammy examined the mark on Stormblaze's yellow scales.

"So is that permanent?" Cammy asked.

"I believe so," Stormblaze said, sounding uncertain. He turned his body around and back to his normal position. "So Cammy, I'm about to go patrol Berk with Hiccup and Cloudjumper, would you like to come?" Stormblaze asked.

"Thank you Stormblaze I'd love to," Cammy said. She turned to her mother. "Is it okay if I go with him?" Cammy asked. Durga smiled.

"Of course it is. You don't have to ask," Durga said. Cammy smiled and ran quickly out the door. Stormblaze began to follow. "Stormblaze," Durga said, making Stormblaze stop and turn around. "Please, I know I ask you this a lot but, please protect Cammy," Durga said. Stormblaze smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll protect her with my life," Stormblaze said. He then walked out the door and met up with the others. Hiccup mounted Stormblaze and they prepared to take off. "Cammy's coming with us," Stormblaze said.

A few minutes passed as they flew over Berk's forest.

"Cloudjumper"

"What is it Alpha?" Cloudjumper asked.

"When my father was still here, where did he go when patrolling," Stormblaze asked.

"He usually started at Raven Point, near the docks," Cloudjumper said. Stormblaze looked forward.

"Raven Point, huh?" He asked himself. "We'll go to Raven Point then," Stormblaze said, picking up speed.

After a few more minutes they had reach their destination and landed in a forest known as Raven Point. Nearby were the docks that Cloudjumper stated. Hiccup dismounted.

"Let's begin," He said as he began to walk forward. The three Dragons began to walk beside Hiccup.

Ok, so I know that it's not that good of an ending for this chapter, I was going to make it longer but I desperately needed to upload it. So you know how in one of the chapters for Master's Origin (I think) I said that I was going to do a crossover with my stories and another universe? Well it was originally planned to be crossed over with Kingdom Hearts, but I changed it. I decided that because in Kingdom Hearts they travel to different worlds, and some of those worlds are set in modern times. I thought that it would be a bit weird for the HTTYD characters to see all the modern stuff that hadn't been invented in their time, so I'm going with a Legend of Spyro crossover. It's perfect. It's set in the same sort of time period and plus there are Dragons there so it's perfect.

See you all next time, XenoX out.
