Chapter Nine: The Reaper's Death


"Are you sure that we can just fly in?" Hiccup asked.

"We won't be doing that, exactly," Halvard explained, "Bertil here will follow their scent. And once we find the village we will get an aerial view."

"Okay, "Hiccup agreed. The two Chiefs flew in silence for a few minutes, but a question was pushing itself on Hiccup. He had to ask it. "Umm...Sir? Do you know why the Night Furies didn't come back?"

Halvard sighed, "My people have asked that question for a very long time. Migration is a natural instinct to animals. The only thing I can think of is that something must of happened to their summer home."

"Any ideas on what?" Hiccup asked.

"Well, we don't know where they're summer home is," Halvard explained, "We've never bothered to follow them because we believed that they would come back. So it could of been anything; natural disaster, humans,...maybe they all got killed..." The last option sent dread through them both; they prayed that it wasn't what happened.

Aicutter glanced over at Toothless. The Night Fury's eyes showed worry, sadness, and not much hope. 'If that last one is true...'

'We don't know that yet,' Aircutter flew closer, 'Besides, even if it is there is still you, Raven, her family, and...the eggs. Your species isn't dead just yet.'

Toothless smiled at the titan; thankful for the kind words. 'Yeah,' Toothless shook off the sadness, 'This world is big so maybe-' Suddenly Toothless halted midair and perked his ears up.

"W-Whoa!" Hiccup braced himself, "What is Toothless?"

Toothless' ears twitched as it listened, 'A dragon...in trouble...' Then Toothless' eyes widened when he realized what dragon it was. He turned his head to Hiccup, joy in his eyes, 'A Night Fury!'

"Really!?" Hiccup's heart jumped at the thought of another Night Fury. Toothless then shot off too the right in search of the dragon; completely forgetting about Luna and Astrid. Aircutter and Bertil quickly followed them.

O

The boat sailed on for another hour before reaching a dock. Luna and Astrid heard the men up top stomping around. "I hope that we didn't get them on a bad day," Astrid whispered to Luna.

"Atac de dragon!" Multiple whistles were heard and the boat rocked as the sound of explosions filled the girls ears. {Dragon attack!}

"Dragon attack?" Luna listened more carefully, "Wait...those whistles..."

Another explosion rocked the boat; loosening the muzzle on Tracker. She positioned her head directly behind her Rider and fired a small flame. The fire burned away the rope that tied her. Then Tracker repostioned and burned away the rope that tied Astrid. The girls jumped up. "Alright, I don't know what's going on, but let's find the keys, free our dragons, then get the heck out here!"

"Best plan I've heard all day!" Astrid and Luna ran for the door. They rammed the door open, but stopped dead in their tracks; stunned by what they saw. The Roman village they had been taken to was under dragon attack; by Night Furies!

"Holy..." Astrid watched as the dragons burned down the buildings and dodge nets.

"I've...never seen so many...t-there must be hundreds of Night Furies..." Luna just stared at the chaos before her.

And then, amidst the fire and smoke, a loud, earth shaking roar caught everyone's attention. "La Reaper's moarte! Uite!" {The Reaper's Death! Look out!"}

A giant of a shadow flicked across the village. The people who where fighting the Night Furies quickly scattered. Luna and Astrid heard the beat of giant wings as...something flew through the sky. And then the smoke and clouds were disturbed; revealing a massive white dragon. It was monstrously huge; probably the same size as the Red Death. It's tail was identical to a Night Fury's but also looked to have the same spines that a Deadly Nadder has on their tail, it's double wings looked to be a mix between the wings of a Stormcutter and a Singetail's, large tusks protruded from the top back of it's massive jaws. Tanish-brown horns sprouted from it's blunt nose and stretched over it's head and stopped at a sharp point near the base of it's plate-like ears. It's sharp green eyes were slit with with anger as green gas spilled out it's mouth; revealing jagged and sharp fangs. It's tail swished side to side; generating electricity.

"What...is..that?" Luna gasped.

"I THOUGHT YOUR PEOPLE KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERY DRAGON SPECIES!?" Astrid screamed.

The dragon threw up it's forearms, gave out a loud roar, then released it's fire upon the defenseless village. Someone somewhere in the village screamed in terror, "La Reaper's moarte! La Reaper's moarte!" {The Reaper's Death! The Reaper's Death!}

O

"Whoa Toothless!" Hiccup tried to regain control of his dragon, "What about Luna and Astrid!?" Toothless stopped; thick smoke circled around them. 'I swore it came from around here,' Toothless looked around; completely ignoring Hiccup. A low buzz slithered out of the smoke and into Toothless' head. It slowly forced itself on Toothless' brain, but he easily shook it off. His mind immediately went to Bewilderbeast as he saw a large shadow flying towards them. Everyone of his red flags went up; he bared his teeth.

Everything went quiet just before a massive white dragon exploded from the smoke and halted in front of Hiccup and Toothless. Hiccup stared up at the giant beast; any ability to talk left him. The dragon glared at Toothless and Toothless glared at it. Teh buzzing sounds grew louder as the dragon's eyes fluctuated in a similar manor that the Bewilderbeast did when it was trying to control a dragon.

The two dragons roared and snarled at each other as an internal fight for dominance raged between them. Both were Alphas, but which one would submit? Suddenly a large mass of black dragons appeared from behind the dragon. It was a horde of hundreds of Night Furies. They circled around Hiccup, Toothless, and the massive dragon; cutting off any escape route. Hiccup's head turned this way and that as he tried to follow the Night Furies. Both his heart and his mind was racing as he had no idea on what was going on.

'Make red your claws with human blood...' a dark, angry, female voice growled, 'Obliterate the human filth!'

Hiccup stared up at the dragon. It was only in the last second that he heard the all to familiar whistle of a Plasma Blast. One of the Night Furies that was circling him fired and, before he could react, Hiccup was knocked off the saddle. "Toothless!" Hiccup found his voice again.

Toothless, however, was still fighting the other dragon's control; and didn't notice that Hiccup had been knocked off until he began to fall. Btu he didn't fall far before two Night Furies grabbed him. He struggled against them, but stopped when the influence of the white dragon pushed on his mind. 'Hic...Hiccup...'

'All humans must suffer the consequences!' the white dragon snarled, 'They will pay for what they did!'

Hiccup fell until he crashed into the water. Just as he broke the surface the massive white dragon tilted her head back and let out a loud roar that sounded slightly similar to a Bewilderbeast's roar. The front of her throat glowed icy blue; and she released a flood of cold water at the waters surface. Hiccup quickly swam for his life and climbed onto a nearby sea surface of the water froze as the white dragon's ice cold attack made contact; just like that of a Bewilderbeast!Then about ten of the Night Furies that were circling began to dive bomb the ice; blasting at without thought. They were trying to kill him.

The Night Furies blasted away for nearly twenty minutes. Hiccup, meanwhile, could only hold onto the sea stack; his mind to panicked to come up with a plan of escape. He looked up and saw the blue light on the front of the white dragon's throat slowly fade away. Then it began to glow red. Steam came from her nose and mouth. She opened her mouth wide and fired her tornado shaped fire.

"Fire and ice!?" Hiccup scrambled to get out the way, "Just what is this dragon!?"

O

"Hiccup!" Halvard shouted.

'Toothless!' Aircutter looked around.

"Where in the world did they flew off to so fast?" Halvard grew concerned. Not long ago he heard multiple roars from a very, very big dragon.

As they flew a buzzing sound came to Aircutter. He jolted when it pushed on his mind, but then it stopped. 'What the?'

"What is it Aircutter?"

'...It was as if a dragon was trying to force it's will on me; like a Bewilderbeast...but then a female voice said to me 'You are kin to me, but I don't need you.' ' Aircutter looked up at his Rider; confused.

"Odd," Halvard looked puzzled, "It must have come from a dragon, but I've never heard of a dragon talking about kin."

They hovered there for a few minutes until a smell drifted to them; smoke. 'Over there!' Aircutter spotted a large fire burning not far form them.

"Let's go!"

O

Hiccup hugged the sea stack until the onslaught was over. The white dragon looked down at the water. She then snorted and flew forward; assuming that Hiccup was dead. The horde of Night Furies followed her. Hiccup looked up and saw Toothless being dangled in between the claws of the two Night Furies. The white dragon had stopped her influence...

...for now.

Hiccup wanted to shout up to Toothless, but stopped himself. He tried to understand what had happened, but none of it was making sense. What sort of dragon was that? It looked like it was a mix of a whole bunch of other species. Hiccup carefully stepped out onto the broken pieces of ice. It was then that he caught the scent of smoke. He looked around and saw a huge fire off from where the white dragon had come from. Maybe they are people there?

Hiccup dove into the now cold water and saw as quickly as he could. After ten minutes he reached the shore then traveled through the forest. He came out of the forest to see a village; partly on fire.

"Hiccup!"

"Astrid!?" Hiccup looked around. Then he saw both Luna and Hiccup at the man made docks that sat at a large river. Hiccup ran towards them, but before he could get close a group of armed Roman men surrounded him. Not wanting to start a fight Hiccup threw his arms up in surrender. Luna and Astrid did the same.

"Cine esti?" one of the men asked.

"He asked "who are you?" Luna translated.

"Uh, I am Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third," Hiccup introduced himself, "And those women there are my friends."

Luna translated what Hiccup said. Which was met with an angered, "Sunteţi prieteni cu foc-aerisitoarele!? Arestarea lui!" {You are friends with the fire-breathers!? Arrest him!}

Men quickly, and roughly, tied Hiccup's hands behind his back. "Wait! Wait! Hiccup pleaded.

"Aşteptaţi! Aşteptaţi!" Luna translated.

"Y-Your village," Hiccup'd mind raced, "It was attacked, right? By a group of black dragons that were lead by a giant white one?"

Luna translated. One of the men stepped forward, "Care este dreapta. De unde stii?"

" "How do you know that?" "

"I ran into them on the way here," Hiccup explained, "She took my dragon and tried to kill me."

Luna translated again. Some of the men gasped, but they all looked shocked. The same man spoke again, "Puteţi vorbi cu ei?"

" "You can speak to them?" "

"Yes, W-We all can!" Hiccup noted Astrid and Luna, "Our villages have peace with the dragons."

Luna translated what Hiccup said ad the men began to murmur among themselves. Just then a large dragon flew out of the forest; it was Halvard and Aircutter. The men jumped and aimed their weapons.

"Daddy!" Luna smiled, "Aşteptaţi! Aşteptaţi! Aceasta este tatăl meu! El poate vorbi cu dragoni precum!" { Wait! Wait! This is my father! He can speak to dragons as well!}

"Luna!" Halvard jumped off his dragon.

"Dad don't do anything!" Luna begged her father.

The Roman men chattered to themselves before reaching a agreement. The same man stepped forward again, "Ne va permite să trăiesc, dacă, puteţi opri aceste atacuri de dragon."

"They'll only let us go if we fix their dragon problem," Luna informed Hiccup.

"Well, I don't think we'll be able to fix it standing here, "Hiccup picked his words carefully, "Why don't we...uh...sit down. In your, uh, what's left of your village."

Luna translated and they talked. Then the man turned back, "Fin. Lasa sa plece." Then he turned to one of his comrades, "Treceţi Celsus informează că avem o soluţie la problema noastra." {Fine. Let them go. Go inform Celsus that we have a solution to our problem.}

Hiccup, Luna, and Astrid were freed. Astrid ran over and hugged Hiccup; thankful to see him again.

"Vino!ne va duce la cap de mica noastra sat," the man said as they started for the village. But then he stopped and turned to Halvard, "Dar fiara va rămâne aici!" {Come! We will take you to the head of our small village. But your beast stays here!}

Halvard turned to Aircutter, "Go back to the village; both our and Hiccup's and tell them what is going on."

'Are you sure that I should leave you here!?'

"We'll be fine," Halvard half promised.

Aircutter groaned before turned around and flying off. Hiccup, Astrid, Luna, and Halvard then followed the Roman men to the village.


Now before you guys scream "THAT DRAGON IS OP AS FUCK!" let me explain that who and what she is will be explained in a later chapter. You'll see that she isn't as OP as she first seems. Also, this dragon, The Reaper's Death, and Luna are the same being, technically. If you've read some of my older stories you'll notice that The Reaper's Death is the same dragon that was in my scrapped story "HTTYD: The Noble's Secret". I'm a fan of an old anime called "Bakugan". My favorite Bakugan is Haos Lumagrowl. And over the years as I grew more and more into HTTYD my mind morphed him into the dragon seen in this chapter and in "Noble's Secret". The only change I made was making her the same size as the Red Death. I gave this dragon the name Luna, but never gave her species a name until now. If you've read my complete Attack on Titan story called "Attack on Titan: A Hero's Return" you'll see that I put in a character named Luna. That Luna is the human version of my OC here; the same goes as for the Luna I introduced in this story. But for the sake of this story they are separate beings. Does this make any sense?

Anyways, this chapter ended up being longer than I thought. I hope you enjoyed it! Expect a third chapter this Saturday! If my internet doesn't fuck up I'll get to go back to the schedule!
