Hey guys! I found some time to get another chapter out before Christmas! Thanks for reading!

To MCZ and anyone else wondering why Stoick does not have Skullcrusher: Stoick having a dragon is something that I changed from HTTYD.

"I thought you said you had three new dragons, Stoick grumbled unimpressed.

"Um, dad. There are three new dragons." Hiccup replied.

"No, these two barely count as a half of a dragon, and that is if you were to keep em' together, but I'll let you off of the hook if this big one turns out alright." Stoick said jokingly while pointing to the dragon who was easily twice the size of Toothless.

Joke or not, Cynder had a hard time keeping herself from attacking the man. She would get him back later for calling her anything less than a dragon. As she calmed herself, she realised what he had said: 'three new dragons.'

"Let's get the big one to the arena."

With that, Hiccup cautiously opened the door of the big dragon's cell. The dragon would have appeared asleep if it was not staring at Hiccup with its yellow eyes. Most dragons would either lash out and try to kill the intruder, or cower and hide from him. This dragon, however, did neither; it lay there unmoving and uncaring. That was the most unnerving thing about the dragon: it did not seem to care about the potential threat. Did it not view Hiccup as a threat, or did it not care if it died? Either way, Hiccup did not like it.

Hiccup slowly walked to the dragon and carefully placed his hand on its nose. The dragon did not twitch a muscle. He backed up to the enterance of the cave and motioned for the dragon to follow, which it did.

Once he followed the creature named Hiccup out of his cell, it led him past Spyro and Cynder. From the corner of his eye he could see the shock and fear on their faces. Luckily, they did not try to kill him...not yet.

Hiccup led the dragon through the tunnels that connected to the arena. Once they were both inside, he exited the way he came, leaving the dragon alone in the arena.

The arena was decent sized, and had two entrances. One entrance was the tunnel he had just emerged from, and the other was a large metal gate on the opposite side of the tunnel entrance leading outside to freedom. Above him was a large lattice-like dome made of metal, he would not be getting out unless he forced his way out.

Across from him, on the other side of the gate, the man he recognized as Hiccup's father walked toward the gate with an axe in hand, Hiccup followed and pulled a lever. The gate opened and let Stoick in, then it closed behind him. The man stopped once he was several yards away from the gate.

"I don't want to kill you big guy. I just want to see how long it would take if I did." Stoick said to himself not knowing that the dragon understood him.

Then the man charged.

As the man approached, the dragon decided that disabling him would be safer overall than killing him He watched the man charge, waiting for him to reach the right distance. When he did, the dragon spread his wings and launched himself straight up sending a cloud of dust at the man. The dragon struck the man's axe wielding arm with his tail while he was temporarily blinded by the dust, thus knocking the axe several yards away. While the dust surrounded the now unarmed man, the dragon had grabbed onto the metal dome and used it to launch himself at Stoick.

The blind and unarmed Stoick barely had time to realize what had happened before he was hit again. This time, he was hit in the chest and knocked down, but the dragon was not planning on letting him fight anymore. Stoick had been disarmed and pinned by a dragon in less than three seconds.

After the dragon was satisfied with his foe's acceptance of defeat, he let Stoick go and returned to where he was before the "fight."

Stoick picked himself off of the ground and looked through the gate at Hiccup who was staring in shock at the ease at which his father hed been taken down. "Nobody is to hear about this." Stoick said in a serious tone. Hiccup only nodded as he was still trying to comprehend what he had seen.

- After the Fight: The Cells -

After the dragon was in his cell, Hiccup left the dragons alone. Alone as far as intelegent creatures go.

Several hours passed, during which, the large dragon was lost in thought. He was unsure of how to handle the situation at hand. After all that had happened, he was unsure of what he should do. Eventually, he made up his mind.

"Spyro, Cynder. I never thanked you."

The two dragons did not respond, which created a heavy silence.

"The two of you saved my life. And for that, I owe you a debt that can only be repaid with my blood. Until then, I am yours."

Again, the silence prevailed.

"Cynder, you are no longer the Terror of the Skies, correct?

Silence.

"Just as you are no longer Terror of the Skies, I am no longer The Dark Master."

If the silence was heavy before, it suddenly became unbearable.

"When I was hatched..."

Next chapter, we will see the version of Malefor's that I have made for this story. It is heavily inspired by Spartan-029's story "Age of Heroes: Karma and Convexivity" which is AWESOME! Also, have a Merry Christmas! (unless you are reading this when it is nowhere near Christmas time, then I guess I could still wish you a Merry Christmas, but it would be wierd, so I am not going to.
