Hel was standing on the beach looking at her airship.

"I wasn't expecting to reunite with my old pupil, Stoick," she said. "While it's unfortunate, if we want to be victorious we have no choice but to annihilate the Dragon Tail guild. For once they are out of the way we can pursue our true adaptive. Finding Drago Bludvist. Gods speed Seven Kin of Purgatory, I await your good news.

"Stoick you've done an excellent job of leading the Guild for the last thirty years. However, I'm afraid your time is up, my student. Your reign as Dragon Tail's master ends todays. History is coming to a close for both you and your Guild."


Meanwhile, in the ruins, Ragnar, Ruby, Agatha and Leo watched as Caprico landed in front of them.

"I hope you fools are prepared to do battle with me," he said.

"There's something weird about this guy, but I can't quite put my finger on it," said Ragnar.

"I can tell you what we do about him, he's a goat," Agatha pointed out.

"Stay back Ruby I'll protect you," Leo assured.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm one of the Seven Kin, Caprico," said Caprico as a dark aura covered his body.

"The seven-what-now?" Ruby blinked. "What the heck does that mean?"

"Grimoire Heart as six more Vikings that are just as strong as this guy," said Agatha.

"Caprico?" Leo frowned.


Meanwhile, on the cliffs, Hiccup and Zancrow were trading fire fists, but Zancrow had the upper hand and knocked Hiccup backwards.

"You left yourself wide open, dummy," Zancrow said maniacally.

Hiccup managed to help his ground and the two Vikings looked at one another.

"I was expecting more power from a Dragon Hunter like you," Zancrow snarled. "You're not holding back only are you?"

"Like I'm gonna tell you, I like to keep my opponents guessing," said Hiccup as he drew Inferno and set it ablaze.

"Careful, Hiccup," said Merrill.

"He'll be fine, because the enemy doesn't stand the chance against him when he's all serious like this," Toothless assured.

"But his attacks haven't had any effect," Stormfly reminded. "Who is that fiend?"

"He just referred himself at the God Slayer, but I'm not sure if that really his power or trying to talk tough," said Skullcrusher.

"I think it's probably the latter," said Cloudjumper.

Zancrow laughed. "Let me introduce myself I'm one of Grimoire Heart's Seven Kin and the guy who's gonna kick your ass. I'm known as the God Slayer, names Zancrow."

"Well, I known as the Dragon Slayer, I'm Hiccup of Dragon Tail," said Hiccup.

Zancrow laughed. "I know who you are, Dragon Breath. You're famous within the Balam Alliance, because you're the son of two very powerful Vikings."

"Figures," Hiccup muttered.

"The Balam Alliance?" Skullcrusher frowned as he and Cloudjumper looked at Toothless and Stormfly. "Care to explain?"

"Base they're a bunch of Dark Guilds that aligned with each other in order to wreak havoc over the continent," Toothless explained.

Stormfly nodded. "Yes, Grimoire Heart, Oración Seis and Helheim joined forces in a coalition of Dark Guilds."

"Our coalition of Light Guilds was able to defeat the Oración Seis, but I don't know about beating Grimoire Heart," said Merrill. "I mean are the strongest member of the Balam Alliance. We don't stand a chance."

"You annihilated Lullaby, you stopped us from bringing back Deliora and then you and your friends really screwed up our plans when you wiped out the R-System and Nirvana," said Zancrow. "You took down Jellal as well as Master Zero. If you think that makes you hot stuff let me tell you those guys are nothing compared to me."

"I can take you," said Hiccup.

"You're just a lonely Dragon Hunter," Zancrow said dismissively. "Don't be so cocky."

"I think you're the cocky one by calling yourself a God Slayer," said Hiccup as he swung Inferno at him. Zancrow began blocking his attack with his black flames. "Do you truly expect me to believe that you are trained by a god?"

The two of them clashed and then they backed away from one another.

"I guess if you call Master Hel a god then yeah, because she's the one that trained me in using this are some Lost Magic," said Zancrow.

"Your master is no god, she's just a regular old mortal," said Hiccup. "Unlike you everything I learned about Dragon Slayer Magic I learned from an actual dragon."

"You really think I give a crap?" said Zancrow as he grabbed a nearby lizard. "Dragons are just flying lizards, what to ask this little guy if he's got magic?"

Hiccup glared at him. "I will not have you disrespecting my Master, Igneel."

"Yeah, you tell them!" Merrill yelled. "Grandeeney isn't a lizard either you big Meany!"

"Don't encourage him, Merrill," said Stormfly.

"I'd shut up and sit pretty if I were you," said Zancrow as a dark aura covered his body. "I've got my hands full with pegged leg, but as soon as I'm going to be through with him you're next."

"He's not messing around," said Toothless.

"I won't let you lay a finger on this child," said Stormfly firmly.

"I won't allow you harm my student," said Hiccup as he charged once again with his sword ablaze.

However, Zancrow pushed him back with relatively ease, but he managed to recover.

"You better get out of the way here guys," said Hiccup as flames covered his body.

"Bringing out the big guns, huh," said Zancrow.

"With the power of the dragon blackest night… give me strength to defeat thy enemy," Hiccup chanted as he created a ball of plasma.

"I ask you to scorch all from the far west to the far east… oh, Breath of God!" Zancrow chanted as he created a ball of black fire.

"Fire Dragon's…!"

Merrill grabbed the Exceeds and started to run.

"Fire God's!"

"Plasma Blast!"

"Surt!"

There two orbs fired at one another and collided created a massive explosion. Both Hiccup and Zancrow were putting as much magic as they could into their attacks and it looked as if they were evenly matched.

Merrill and the Exceeds took to the air just in time, but they could feel the power emanating from the two Slayers' attacks.

"What power," said Skullcrusher.

"And such tremendous heat," said Stormfly.

"The power of a dragon and God are colliding," said Merrill.

Hiccup tried his best to hold back Zancrow's attack, but it was too much for him.

"Oh, no you don't," he said as he tried to keep the pressure on.

It was no good and Hiccup's plasma orb was destroyed in the black flames slammed into him and knocking him to the ground.

"Hiccup!" Merrill cried.

"No way," said Stormfly.

"That guy overpowered him," said Toothless stunned.

"How is that even possible?" said Cloudjumper.

"Enough with the play-by-play," said Zancrow and turned his black flames onto the five of them. "Get lost cats!"

They were caught in the flames were blown backwards and Hiccup with the just in time to see them being blasted away.

Zancrow laughed. "Uh-oh, it wasn't just cats," he said maniacally as he looked down at the crumpled bodies. "That puny little brat is a Dragon Hunter too. Oh, well, that'll teach you not to mess with me."

"Merrill? Are you all right?" Stormfly asked weakly.

Skullcrusher can't believe what he was seeing, this barbarian was outclassing Hiccup, who was a strong as Eret. He had never seen anything like it, this was clearly the power of Lost Magic.

Hiccup managed to pull himself back onto his feet. "I warned you," said he said as he began to take a deep breath. "Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Hiccup fired his breath attack directly at Zancrow, putting as much magic power into it as possible.

"Nice try, pal," said Zancrow, who just stood there unafraid. "But don't you know it was the divine that granted the mortals the knowledge of fire? It wasn't created by humans, elves, dwarfs or even dragons, it was the gods."

The flames then slammed into him and at first it looked as if it has worked, but then to Hiccup's horror Zancrow was swallowing the flames, in exactly the same method as he.

"This is bad," said Hiccup. He was a massive disadvantage, because while Zancrow could eat his flames, he was unable to eat his.

"He ate of Hiccup's flames," said Merrill in horror. "Did you see that Stormfly."

"That some tasty fire you got there," said Zancrow as he patted his stomach. "Nothing what I like more than the flavour of violent and never ending flames. Even though you may have enough power to slay a dragon, you could never slay a god."

He then stood up firmly. "Prepare to witness the power of Grimoire Heart's magic," said Zancrow and began to taking a deep breath. "Fire God's Bellow!"

He then fired a similar breath attack like Hiccup only it was black flames and the moment it slammed into Hiccup it created a massive explosion.

Merrill and the Exceeds were caught in the blast and they along with Hiccup were blasted off the cliff.

Toothless, weakly, saw Hiccup heading towards the forest below the cliffs. "Hiccup!" he yelled.

Zancrow looked over the cliff and saw them falling straight towards the forest. "Well, it looks like those to Dragon Hunters hit rock bottom."

He then laughed.


Meanwhile, Ragnar, Ruby, Agatha and Leo were fighting Caprico, before some reason their attacks didn't seem to hit him at all. The four of them were completely exhausted, especially since they used quite a lot of power on the soldiers earlier.

"I don't understand," Ruby panted. "What's going on?"

"How come we haven't been able to land a single hit on this goat freak?" said Agatha.

"Come on, Leo," said Ragnar as he charged.

"Gotta," Leo nodded.

The two of them swung a kick at him, but Caprico simply blocked it and then kicked the two of them with his hooves.

Ruby can understand it, even if he was powerful they should be able to lease land one hit. Something was off, but you can place a finger on it. She could sense a strange presents on the guy, but it was unfamiliar.

"This guy is strong," said Ragnar picking himself up. "He's able to fend of all four of us. Who is he?"

"I've had enough," said Agatha as she held out a few cards. "I'm not about a waste my time getting all worked up on a stupid goat!"

She then tossed her cards and they shot lightning at Caprico, but the lightning shot in all different directions completely missing him.

"What that—how did I miss him again?" Agatha stared.

"What a secret? It's not like you using some sort of magic to dodge us," Ruby frowned. "From what I can tell he doesn't seem to be reading our moves like Cobra?"

"I can't explain it, but I got this feeling," said Ragnar. "I just know that our attacks aren't going to hit him. I keep thinking what the use of fighting if you can't win? We're screwed."

"Very perspective of you," said Caprico. "You are powerless in battle, no matter how many times you try to attack you'll never be able to hit me. You might as well give up. There's nothing you can do, but revere and worship me."

"There it is again," said Ruby as she felt some sort of presence around him. "I keep feeling the strange pressure."

"Man, I wish I knew what was going on," said Ragnar. "Where's the sense of hopelessness coming from?"

Leo looked at Caprico, he knew who he was, but didn't make much sense. Whatever the case it was bad, especially for Ruby.


Meanwhile, Hiccup had landed in the forest below the cliffs, but it had not been a gentle landing. He was seen spots his head felt like someone had been dancing on top of it.

"Ah, man," he groaned rubbing his head as he wandered through the forest. "That guy was a lot more powerful than I thought. It's been a long time since by actually felt hot to me."

He then came to a sudden stop as he smelt the air and recognise the scent almost immediately. "I know that smell," he said his eyes widening.

He began running towards the direction of the set and found himself in a small clearing where he found his father laying on the ground.

"Dad!" Hiccup yelled kneeling down to him. "Please, be okay."

Stoick stirred and opened his eyes and found Hiccup looking over him. "Son? It's you."

"What happened to you?" Hiccup asked. He noticed the severe injuries on his body. "Looks like you've taken a real beating. I don't like moving you, but I need to get you to Merrill. Of course, it is a lot easier said than done, because I have no idea where we are right now."

He then felt his father grasping his hand and he looked down at him. "Hiccup," he said weakly.

"Who attacked you?" Hiccup asked.

"Son, listen," Stoick groaned. "The chances of us… defeating Grimoire Heart… are nil."

Hiccup's eyes widened. "I know they're powerful, but surely that's an overstatement. Dad, I know you, and you've never back down."

"You're injured yourself, son," Stoick pointed out. "Who do that to you?"

"A member of the Seven Kin and I won't lie, he is strong," Hiccup admitted. "I know if we stick together we can defeat whatever comes at us."

"I beg you, son," said Stoick grasping his hand more firmly. "Find the others… and leave while you can."

"Dad, surely you can't mean that," said Hiccup shaking his head in disbelief. "We're not even through the S-Class Trial and as our guild master you're supposed to support us not tell us we can't win."

Stoick nodded. "While that's true… there are times when the best thing to do is retreat."

Hiccup remembered his battle with Zancrow and began shaking. "Dad…"

Then suddenly something landed in the clearing and Hiccup saw trail of black flames. He knew instantly that it was Zancrow, no doubt he wasn't we finish with him until he was dead.

He could hear his maniacal laughter. "Well, well, well it looks like Master Hel did a number on you hey Stoick."

"So… that's who done this," said Hiccup getting to his feet.

"Let it go… son," said Stoick. "Remember what I just told you."

"I ain't backing down," said Hiccup.

Stoick then notice something he thought he would never have seen. Hiccup was sweating and shaking, he was afraid.

This didn't do unnoticed by Zancrow either. "Ya having a hard time Dragon Hunter?" he snarled. "Looks like you're freaking out, because the sweat trickling down from every pore."

Hiccup just stood there and remembered his fight with Gildarts, when he collapsed with fear. He then remembered his words of advice.

"This feeling…" he said. "This is fear…"

"Hiccup," said Stoick weakly.

Zancrow laughed. "Yep, you get it," he smiled evilly. "I can't say I blame ya. It's got to be terrifying for a runs like you to face my ultimate power. If I were you I would stand there trembling in fear too."

Hiccup just kept on shaking and Stoick looked to his son. "You've done enough, get out of here."

Zancrow kept on laughing.

However, flames then began to cover Hiccup's body. "He's right…" he said and clenched his fist. "This is fear I'm feeling, but it's not the same kind of fear Gildarts talked about."

"Huh?" said Zancrow.

Hiccup then looked at Zancrow with a determined look. "You misunderstand… I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid that your master will hurt someone else I care about. You're going to pay, I won't let you guys get away with this. I'll take down Master Hel and I'll do it with my own two hands!"


Meanwhile, at base camp, Valka and Adelaide were facing Agnar, who looked extremely disappointed.

"Unfortunately, it would appear that I got the short end of the stick when it comes to opponents," he said bitterly.

"'The short end of the stick'?" said Valka.

"What are you talking about?" Adelaide asked.

"Well, I don't mean to offend you, but after being forced to attack cats and children I'd hope to face a more challenging opponent than a young and old lady."

"I'm not that old," Valka glared.

"If he thought cats and children then that means he's been fighting Hiccup and Merrill's teams," said Adelaide.

"I don't see who I thought makes any difference to you," said Agnar. He then raised a hand. "All you need to know is I defeated them and I'll do the same here."

Valka and Adelaide saw sparks of light and jumped away in time just as there was a massive explosion.

"His magic is so strong," said Adelaide.

"Adelaide, you're not hurt are you?" Valka called.

"No, I'm okay," Adelaide assured.

Valka looked to Agnar. "This warrior, he's powerful."

"Yeah, no kidding, but I know we can beat him."

"Takeover! Demon Soul Wraith!" Adelaide roared as she took the form of her Wraith Soul.

She then swung her fist straight at Agnar, who blocked it and his expression changed. "Takeover Magic," he smiled. "It seems I underestimated you, you're the one they call the Demon, aren't you?"

"So what if I am," said Adelaide as she kicked him in the chest.

Valka looked at her with an impressive look, Spitelout had truly taught her well when using her Takeover Magic.

"You shouldn't underestimate us," said Adelaide flying into the air. "Looks may be deceiving."

"Bleve!" Agnar yelled extending his hands.

Next second Adelaide disappeared from view, but then spinning out of the smoke she appeared. She then flew down and began swinging her fists that Agnar, but he dodged them and then blasted her with another explosion.

"Adelaide!" Valka yelled.

Adelaide recovered from the explosion and raised her fists. "Just stay back, I can handle this," she assured.

"I am impressed," Agnar admitted. "You are a much better fighter than I expected… that said allow me to show you why I'm confident that you'll never defeat me."

He then extended his hand and Adelaide vanished in another explosion knocking her backwards.

"You can't win a fight with spirit and sentiment alone, it takes skill," said Agnar. "And mine greatly surpasses yours. Are you really willing to risk your life in attempt to prove your strength to me?"

Adelaide's Takeover then wore off and she glared at him. "What you mean by that? This isn't about the difference of power," she snapped. "You're stronger than me, who cares? We just want to protect our camp so our friends know where to find us."

"Frankly I couldn't care will less," said Agnar. "I was sent here to fight you so that's what I'll do."

Suddenly Valka, who had switched at her civvies with her armour and staff, charge towards him and blasting with a powerful gust of wind, much to his surprise.

"You okay?" Adelaide asked.

"I want you to go and look for the others," said Valka. "Meanwhile, I'll stay here and keep this guy busy."

"I can't leave you alone with him," said Adelaide firmly.

Agnar can quite comprehend what just happened, he barely sent any magical power for her before. However, something a change and now he felt a massive amount of magic power emanating from her.

"I'm going to fight with you," said Adelaide pulling herself to her feet. "If we work together we've got a better chance of beating him."

"I swear you're just a stubborn as your father," said Valka shaking her head. "However, I am more than capable of defeating him."

"Then I won't have to hold back," said Agnar.

"Mess with our guild… no our family and you're in for world of hurt," Valka roared.


Meanwhile, in the forest, Hiccup and Zancrow were facing one another. Both are their bodies were covered in flames and there were glaring at one another.

"You think you can take down Master Hel," Zancrow snarled. "There's no way in hell that's ever going to happen, if you can't even beat me you punk."

Hiccup then punched him across the face with a blazing fist and then slammed him with another that sent him backwards.

"I told you, your flames have no affect on me," said Zancrow as he held his ground.

He looked up and saw Hiccup jumping from tree to tree and then came flying down with Inferno ablaze. He slammed the blade right on top of him, but he blocked it with his flames.

Stoick watched the fighting and stared at Zancrow when he saw that he was using the Fire Magic.

"Your dragon fire has nothing on my divine flames there are a completely different level," Zancrow smirked as he pushed Hiccup with a flamed fist. "My flames do more than burn stuff…" He then brought his hands together and created a scythe out of the black flames. "They become a weapon of fire that can defeat any enemy!"

He then swung to the scythe at Hiccup, but he was able to dodge it. However, the scythe sliced through all the thick trees around them that had to be about a thousand years old and he laughed.

Hiccup began jumping from trunk to trunk and then punched one of the trunks down on top of Zancrow. However, the trunk was split in half and Hiccup was punched in the gut by Zancrow.

"Gotta!" he smirked.

Hiccup felt the ground and Zancrow looked down at him with an evil smirk. "My flames love to consume puny Vikings like you," he said as the black flames in his hand resembled mouth shape claws. "You're going down! Fire God's Supper!"

The claws then extended and he slammed into Hiccup, trapping him in a large bowl of black fire. Hiccup roared in pain as the flames began to burn into his skin.

"You should quit fighting, because once my blaze has got you, there's no getting out," Zancrow smirked. "Not until you've been turned to ash."

"Hiccup! No!" Stoick yelled.

"I can still it my way out of this you know," said Hiccup.

"Go ahead and try it, but there's no way a Viking with dragon power can ever eat a divine flame," Zancrow smirked.

Hiccup tried to eat the flames, but choked on them much to Zancrow's amusement. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

He then felt something very large clasp around his body. He turned his head and saw that Stoick had in mind and his hand and was crushing him.

"A giant, huh?"

Hiccup could barely see from within the black flames, but he could see enough to realise what his father was doing.

"Dad!"

"How dare you!" Stoick growled. "What kind of heartless monster would hurt one of my charges, especially my son, right before my very eyes? Stop or I will crush you like an insect! And when I'm done there won't be any trace of you!"

He then tightened his grip and Zancrow roared in pain. "How can you be sure you have enough strength left old man?" Zancrow smirked, noticing Stoick's injuries.

Zancrow then covered his body in black flames and Stoick roared in pain at the black flames eat his skin.

"Come on, you better let go of me soon otherwise the only thing I will vanish without a trace is your arm!" Zancrow yelled.

Stoick groaned in pain, but kept on increasing his grip, but it did very little with the black flames around Zancrow.

"You crazy!" Zancrow yelled. "Let go! Do you really want to lose that arm?"

"If that's what it takes so be it!" Stoick yelled.

Hiccup knew his father couldn't last long. "Please, just let go of him, Dad!"

Stoick ignored him and kept increasing his grip.

"Let me go!" Zancrow snarled.

"And begging you! Let's go!" Hiccup yelled.

Again Stoick didn't comply. "I pity you young man, because you don't know the power of family!"

Hiccup knew he had to try something else his father would be killed. He then summed the last of his magic and covered his body in flames in attempt to break free from Zancrow's attack.

Zancrow just smiled excitedly. "Is it gonna be the Dragon Hunter, Stoick or me? Which one of us will kick the bucket first?"

Hiccup kept unleashing his power, but no matter how much power he unleashed he couldn't break free from Zancrow's grip. Then Zancrow and Stoick saw his flame dying out until it was distinguished.

"Hiccup's magic power," said Stoick horrified. "It's gone."

Zancrow laughed. "Well, it looks like the Dragon Hunter is the first to go!"

Then something miraculous happened, Zancrow's flames began to die down and then they soon realise that it was Hiccup eating the black flames.

It was Zancrow's turn to look in horror. "No! Impossible!" he yelled as every single one of his flames began to flow down Hiccup's throat. "A dragon hunter should be able to eat my flames!"

Stoick just watched in amazement. Somehow, Hiccup learn how to eat uneatable fire by emptying out his magical reserve.

"I get it now," said Hiccup as he finished eating the last of the flames. "I had no clue there was a special technique in eating given flames."

Stoick just stared, he would hardly call that level of magic a special technique. He took a big risk emptying his magic power while the enemies began to build up inside him.

Stoick then tossed Zancrow and glared at his son. "Are you crazy son? Do you wanna die?" he yelled furiously.

"You keep on telling us that were Vikings and that it's an occupational hazard," said Hiccup as he sat his fists ablaze. His left hand was that of his normal flames, but his right contained the black flames that he had just absorbed. "Besides there's no way I'll back down and die. No one is going to die, not on my watch! Were all gonna make it home to Dragon Tail together!"

Hiccup then jumped into the air. "Dragon and divine flames, come together to form one…!" he yelled. He then brought his hands together creating another plasma blast, but this time it was covered in black flames. "Dragon God's Plasma Blast!"

He then fired the plasma blast directly at Zancrow and they could hear his laughter as he was consumed by the explosion and black flames. The explosion was so powerful they saw him flying across the clearing and into the forest.

Stoick looked at his son in awe, as he landed on the ground, exhausted, but very much alive. Stoick couldn't believe he won, he had grown so much into an amazing Viking and possibly the future Master of their Guild.
