(Fast forward from the last chapter time of day) It was now morning. There were many vikings sleeping outside of their homes with their dragons and weapons in hand. Some were laying down and others were standing up with their heads down. Hiccup and Astrid were the few vikings with their dragons and Hookfang that slept inside their homes.
Toothless was hanging from the roof by his tail since Hiccup ordered Hookfang to sleep on his stone rather than under the bed. Suprisingly, he was rather comfortable, considering the wooden beam he was hanging from was filled with splinters. Unfortunately, his beauty sleep was about to come to an end.
The ground began to shake, similar to that of an earthquake. No damage was done to the house but it did snap the beam in half, waking Toothless up and bringing him to the ground. The loud thud woke up everyone else.
"Bud?" Hiccup asked.
Toothless shook the landing off and ran up to Hiccup, putting his face all over him. Hiccup pushed him away and got out of bed. He looked out the window but couldn't see anything out of the usual. Astrid was awake but she didn't get out of bed. Instead, she attempted to go back to sleep.
"What's going on?" She said softly.
Suprisingly, Hiccup managed to hear her over the sound of things breaking and shaking. "I don't know. But I'm about to find out." He ran outside.
The shaking came to a halt but occured again not too long later. It was hard enough to roll Astrid out of bed.
"Uh! I'm up!" She said, wiping the little but of drool off her face and standing up with her eyes widen.
Toothless ran outside with Hiccup, only to be face to leg with the humanoid beasts that he confronted before with the others: A Titan.
And it wasn't Tame. Or Beserk.
"Toothless!" Hiccup called.
Toothless ran around the Titan, only to see Hiccup standing there, waiting for him. He ran behind him and looked around to see if anyone finally woke up or not.
Fishlegs stepped out of his home with Meatlug right behind him. When he looked up and saw the Titan staring down at him, he screamed. "TITAN!"
All of the vikings inside their homes, including Astrid, kicked down their doors and jumped out their windows, They all formed a giant circle around the Titan and prepared to attack.
"EVERYONE! ATAAAACCCKK!" A male viking hollered, throwing a morningstar at the Titan's face.
The morningstar caused the Titan to bleed but not to die. It looked down at the male viking who tossed it and grabbed him. It opened it's mouth wide and threw the viking in it, not even brothering to swallow it.
"TELL MY WIFE I LOVE HER!" The male viking yelled before he was swallowed.
Hiccup's jaw dropped. He backed away from the conflict with fear in his eyes. "They eat...people?"
Astrid already had an ax ready to throw at the Titan but she hesitated to throw it. She feared she would have the same fate as the viking if the ax didn't go where it was supposed to.
"Umm...HIccup?" Astrid asked.
"Y-yes Astrid?"
"This thing eats pe-people...what do we do?"
Hiccup stood silent for a moment. He knew he had to think of something fast as the battle had already begun before they could prepare. They still needed to set up the traps that would slow down the Titans and they needed their dragons to be a distraction while they took out the Titans. It was already starting to backfire.
"I...I don'-"
Soon, the screech of Beserk could be heard. The screech caught the Titan's attention and caused it to leave the village.
"...we did it!" Another male viking said.
"It isn't over yet." Hiccup said as he looked at the path the Titan walked down. He knew it was going to come back very soon. Hopefully, it lacked allies.
"Everyone spread out and work on the traps while you still can. We might be able to go with our plan afterall." Hiccup said.
"Yes chief! EVERYONE! TO YOUR STATIONS!" The male viking yelled, directed everyone in various directions as well as telling them what to do in a split second.
Everyone scattered about and began to set up traps as well as give their dragons the signals when they came by to help. Hiccup kept an eye out for the Titan as well as Beserk. Astrid did the same as well as give Stormfly and Hookfang a refresher on the signals. Toothless on the other hand was pacing back and forth, thinking of all the possible things that could happen. Maybe Beserk called the Titan over to her to stop wrecking havoc to the village or maybe she's calling even more. Who knows?
Soon, Beserk flew over the village. She landed only a few feet away from it, crushing some trees and scaring off dragons. She was literally one step from setting off the traps. All the vikings and dragons waited eagerly for her to set them off but she never moved from her spot, much to Hiccup's dismay. She stared down at everyone, already posing as a threat to the other vikings.
"Do...do we attack?" The viking from before asked.
"No. Let her make the first move." Hiccup replied, staring directly at Beserk.
Beserk roared loudly, making everyone back away and cover their ears. Titans came around as well, trigging the traps as they came in the village. Four(4) of them got ensnared in the traps and fell over, giving the vikings the oppurtunity to attack their weak spots with their weaponry. Hiccup was happy the traps worked but when he saw there were more Titans approaching, he frowned.
"Damnit!" He said to himself.
Beserk stopped roaring and watched as Titans from all directions began to attack the village. They aimed for the Great Hall first.
"Hey!" Astrid said, beginning to mount Stormfly. She patted the back of her neck, making her launch tail spines directly at the Titans' necks, paralyzing them and even killing one.
Hiccup mounted his dragon and stared at Beserk, ready to take her down. She doesn't look up too much, making it seem simple enough to take her out.
"Let's do this, Bud." Toothless took off and flew straight towards Beserk, preparing a plasma blast.
Beserk took notice, stood up straight, and spread her arms wide, exposing her wing membrane and body structure. She had 4 sharp talons and bird feet, unlike Tame who had hooved feet with 4 digits.
"Look out!" Hiccup said as Toothless was heading straight towards Beserk's clevage.
Toothless did a very sharp turn upward, sending a Plasma Blast to Beserk's chin. She screeched and swatted the two away, knocking them into a tree and unconsious.
"Hiccup!" Astrid called.
She recieved no response. She looked over, only to see Hiccup and Toothless motionless on the ground. She gasped and jumped off of Stormfly. "Keep attacking them, girl! I have to go check on Hiccup and Toothless!"
Stormfly nodded and launched more tail spines at the Titans. Astrid ran as fast as she could to Hiccup and kneeled to his side. She shook him hard but couldn't get him up. She did the same to Toothless and woke him up, though he couldn't move too much because of all the pain flowing through his sides.
"Are you alright Toothless?" Astrid asked.
Toothless shook his head and pointed his tail in Beserk's direction, who was beginning to swipe to roofs off of houses in search of something. Astrid gasped at the sight. She knew she couldn't stop Beserk single-handedly.
"I...I don't...I can't...!"
Suddenly, there was a sign of hope, much to Astrid suprise. She widened her eyes and directed her attention towards the forest. There, she heard a very familar roar. She smiled greatly when she heard it.
It was Tame's roar.
"Look! We're saved!" Astrid said happily.
Toothless stood up, though his legs were very shakey. When he looked up, he saw Tame coming their way. He growled viciously once Tame was in front of them.
Tame looked down at the trio and grinned. He wagged his tail and crouched down. "I'm glad you are okay."
Toothless's and Astrid's jaws dropped. Sure, it was a bit hard to understand as he sounded more beast than human but they were still amazed. Tame could actually talk!
"Tame!" Astrid said.
Tame tilted his head. Who in the world was Tame.
"Tame! Remember me!?" Astrid asked.
"You must be mistaken."
"But-but-but you're Tame! I recognize the feet and roar!"
Tame was about to correct Astrid and opened his mouth but instead said nothing and prevented a word from leaving his lips. "...right."
Hiccup groaned and sat up, finally concious. "Owww...what happened?" He asked while rubbing his head.
"How about you answer me that?"
Hiccup looked up and stared at Tame. He wanted to smile but instead widened his eyes, astonished by the fact Tame actually talked to him with the human language. He reached his hand towards his Tame's face but quickly pulled it back when Tame got uncomfortably close to his face. His breath was hot enough to make him sweat instantly when it came in contact with him.
"Errr..."
"Sorry." Tame pulled his face away from Hiccup, only to get tackled by a nearby Titan that was 25 meters tall.
"Tame!" Astrid said.
Tame roared again and threw the Titan off of him like it was nothing. He rushed towards it and punched it hard repeatedly with his fists glowing purple.
"What's that purple stuff on his fists...?" Astrid asked.
"Probably energy. Lots and lots of energy." Hiccup replied.
"HEEEEELLLPPPP!" Snotlout screamed.
Hiccup and Astrid turned their heads, only to see Snotlout in the hands of a male Titan. Literally. Tame stopped punching the Titan, who was now emitting a great amount of steam from its body, and ran over to the Titan with Snotlout. He slammed his fist down onto his head, making blood gush out and land on anything nearby. Even Toothless got covered in some blood. He grabbed Snotlout and set him down beside Toothless, Hiccup, and Astrid.
"Chief! Astrid!" Snotlout said.
"Snotlout! What happened out there?!" Hiccup asked.
"Hookfang Jr. is handling the other Titans right now so I had to fight that one myself. Instead of me killing him though, it sorta went the other way around."
Astrid facepalmed. "We wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for him." She said, having her hand blocking her eyesight so she wouldn't have to stare at Snotlout for another second.
"We wouldn't be in this situation if Titans didn't exsist!" Snotlout snapped, jabbing Astrid in the chest with his finger.
Astrid grabbed Snotlout by the wrist and glared at him. "I'd watch it if I were you." She said coldly.
Snotlout yanked his wrist away. "Or what?" He scoffed and turned away from Astrid.
Astrid grabbed her axe once more, this time holding it up in the air and preparing to Tomahawk Snotlout in the head. Before her axe could come in contact with his head however, Tame pushed Snotlout out the way with his finger, taking the damage instead.
"Oops! Sorry Tame!" Astrid pulled her axe out of his finger, which was beginning to bleed.
Tame nodded as a sign that he understands. His finger emitted little steam and regeneratated the little skin and muscle, almost as if he was never cut to begin with.
"Amazing..." Astrid said to herself.
Soon, Beserk's ear-splitting screeched were heard. Tame looked over, only to see her getting attacked by Barf and Blech once more.
"Oh no." Hiccup said.
Tuffnut rushed over to Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless, and Tame with sweat running down his cherry red face. "Guys! We need your help now!"
"Tuff? What happened? Where's Ruff?"
"The Titans! They got her and I couldn't take out any of them. They destroyed all the weaponry I had and ate Big Boobed Bertha."
Hiccup's jaw dropped. "Big Boobed Bertha?"
"Yeah! It ate her in like one bite!"'
"Unbelievable..." Hiccup said.
Tame ran from the group. He rushed towards the Titan that had Ruffnut in its hands, which was a male.
"This is so awesome and terrifying at the same time!" Ruffnut said as she was dangling by her foot in the fingers of the Titan.
Tame punched the Titan's head right off its body. The body collapsed and Tame grabbed Ruffnut before any further damage could happen to her. He investigated her but found nothing wrong, which was good. He set her down in a high tree."They shouldn't find you here for a while."
"You talk!?"
Tame nodded and put his finger over his lips. "Sshh. They can hear you. I recommend you remain silent. If they find you, you scream."
"...scream what?"
"Anything. I will hear it and I will pick you up."
"Err...okay. Got it!"
Tame nodded and stared over at Beserk, who was trying to take down Barf and Blech. He approached her slowly, but was clawed by her on accident while she was trying to swat the Zippleback away.
Beserk took notice of Tame when she knocked Barf and Blech to the ground and the gas around her face cleared. She tilted her head, wondering what Tame had to say.
"Please stop terrorizing these people. They mean no harm."
Beserk hissed and picked up Barf and Blech, who were now unconsious. She played around with him before tossing him up in the air and opening her mouth wide, eating them when they landed in her mouth. She licked her teeth clean of the blood left behind from previous dragon and viking killings.
"It was an act of self defense."
Beserk glared at Tame. She growled and swatted at a viking who happened to be riding his dragon right beside her face.
"Moo-"
Beserk roared at Tame before he could finish. She pointed at the claw marks on the side of her face and the pieces of wood and metal stuck in her right thigh. She ignited her face like a Monstrous Nightmare and roared, making dragons and Titans surround her backside.
Tame roared back but couldn't change Beserk's mind about attack the village of Berk. Beserk snorted purple flames out of her nose, which were the same color as the flames on her face and turned away from Tame, looking at the army she had gathered.
"It doesn't make any sense. Why is she killing dragons if she uses them for her army? And why is she so upset about the explosions to her face when she can actually light her face on fire like a Monstrous Nightmare?" Astrid asked.
"Maybe it was the eternal damage that it caused her." Hiccup replied.
"Still. It just doesn't make any sense."
Beserk pulled out her left eye, disgusting anyone who could see it. She revealed that the eye socket was almost scorched entirely and the retina was burned. She put the eye back in and glared at Tame once more to see if he really wanted to stop the war or not.
Tame was about to make a point but then took consideration that the vikings made her blind through her left eye. He stared back at Hiccup, Astrid, and Toothless to see if he could come up with an idea that would surely pursuade her. He stepped down and walked away from Beserk, clarifying he couldn't do anything to change her mind.
"What is he doing?!" Astrid asked.
"I think he's giving up!" Hiccup replied.
Tame walked over to Hiccup and Astrid, who ran up to him along the way. "I can't change her mind and I can't hit her. It would be wrong."
"But the whole thing she's doing is wrong! Tame, you gotta help us!" Astrid begged.
"I'm sorry. But there is nothing more I can do except bring you your own forces to take down hers."
"No Tame. We needed you to do something about her. We alone can't do anything without getting killed before it even happens."
Hiccup nodded in agreement. Tame sighed heavily and growled lowly. He went by the "Men shouldn't hit girls" rule so that was a key factor holding him back from inflicting any damage onto Beserk. He thought for a moment before finally responding. "Fine. I will use violence to attempt to solve your issue."
"Thank you Tame." Astrid said.
Tame snorted smoke out of his nose, disapproving of the whole thing but he knew he had to help Astrid and Hiccup along with the rest of their village. They had a hug disadvantage in the battle, even with their dragons fighting alongside them and traps to slow the Titans down. With that being said, he ran towards Beserk with his fists glowing purple. He drew one of his fists back and punched Beserk hard in the face, knocking some of her large teeth out.
Beserk roared and fell to the ground. She stood up, staring at Tame and curious why he hit her.
"I had too. For them." Tame pointed down at the vikings. He especially pointed at Hiccup, Astrid, and Toothless.
Beserk stared at the three for a moment. She breathed hard, bringing discomfort to them. What was she going to do, now that she knew Tame's reasoning as to why he attacked her? Would she have any mercy for them or have them meet their fate in the most unpleasant way she could think of? Each of these questions pondered in Hiccup's and Astrid's heads.
Tame stepped out of the way and watched Beserk, Hiccup, Astrid, and Toothless closesly. There was a wall of silence between the four(4). Astrid wanted to speak up but was afraid of what Beserk would do.
Beserk shattered the wall with an ear-splitting screech and a slam to the ground. This was it.
