(A/N: Here we are, the one you've been waiting so patiently for all this time so expect a delay in chapters. I wrote the future ones before posting these ones out, I'm basically on Chapter 13 right now. Oh and if you see the message at the end of the Chapter, nevermind that because I need to start finishing VOL 1 and begin VOL 2 which I've decided to now write shorter stories because I could only write so much. But you knew this from before so go ahead and Feel Free to Review. Remember: Don't like it, don't read it; I should've posted that warning long ago and I advise you be constructive with whatever the hell you don't like about this story, I do not want any Flamers clogging up my reviews... Thanks)

In the hours of the fading sun, the Dragons peaked out to see anybody guarding or on patrol through the Village. None were in sight and thus, they all snuck out and closed the cages behind them. Locking them up and even slipping through the caged rooftop, which some links were destroyed quietly with their fire breaths and flew over to the Forests until they spotted an secluded Cove from below and landed. All throughout the process of escaping, not one of them had saw Fishlegs watching them from the shadows of the buildings,"Go get 'em guys" He silently spoke to himself, he was happy for Hiccup finally leaving Berk. But man does he sure feel like it's his fault for not standing up to him when he needed him the most

Toothless emerged from the tree root shelter and growled, Barf and Belch revealed Hiccup asleep on their back with bruised and bloodied marks on his flesh. Toothless understood the picture and approached his boy who was safely lifted down to the ground on his stomach without any pain coming from his ribs nor back. He could understand that Hookfang was attempting to make the fight more believable, but may have overdone slightly; but none the less, the plan worked anyways

"Is he asleep?" Toothless asked in a calm voice, one that sounded caring to his boy

"Yes, he is indeed. But the poor Redblood suffered an sanity meltdown and he needs to cool down first, he's ready to leave this horrible place once and for all. Perhaps even help us with a issue of ours" Stormfly responded

"I give them a fight for them to enjoy and here they go changing their minds, wanting me to kill him. They don't give a shit if he's been put through hell for however long he's aged for" Hookfang intervened. Toothless growled at the thought of the Villagers demanding Hiccup to die, his boy will never be killed by anyone; especially not their superior (More on that later on) Unable to let those thoughts of his bother him, he decided to wake Hiccup up by stroking his tongue on his Birthmark. Which worked and he got up all drowsy

"Are you alright Hiccup?" Toothless cooed in worry

"If the Villagers didn't call me names and asked Stoick to put a bounty for you with no reward, I would be" He replied with

"There a reason you called the Redblood Chief by his name? Here I thought you were his son"

"Do NOT call me that" He hissed at the title,"Stoick was not my father, he was abusive towards me, he ostracized me for something I couldn't control, he and the Village all wanted me dead and he tried to kill his own former son. My real father had died along with my mother long ago" He replied coldly and darkly. He held his arm towards his chest with a hint of sorrow, Meatlug nuzzled him but for what unknown reason shuddered in fear due to the tone of his voice

"That was by far one of the best fights I ever had since I attacked that old fart who lived with that uncooperative sheep of his" Hookfang told him

"Mildew..." He spoke that name silently with venom building up in his voice, he then stroked his snout and told him,"You made the right choice Hookfang, he always rallied up Villagers to banish others and always got away with it. One day I will make him pay for what he did to the Dragons that came near his house"

"What exactly did this old fart do to them?" Toothless asked sounding a bit angry

"He was not only considered one of the best murderers, which made him arrogant and prideful to be clear, but he also steals their eggs and a few weeks ago he began planting something called an infamous flower named Blue Oleander. Oh, he also spreads eels on the nests of many Dragons to build Outposts for the Outcasts; he's a traitor and nobody knows" The Dragons all looked up at the one word that Hiccup just said to them

"Did you just say Blue Oleander?" Meatlug asked

"Yes, though I need some explaining about what the effects do. You all look a little pale just by me mentioning the name" He answered

"The Infamous Blue Oleander is known for being poisonous to us, even the most powerful can go down as soon as it's effects have taken their toll on you. Best way to cure it is with the Scauldron's Venom, but you better be near the sea or else they'll start paying the price as none of the Tidals can stay on ground for long. Their scales become dry and cracked, weakened to the point of being vulnerable to those Redbloods" Hookfang answered, Hiccup started to feel sick

"Remind me to alert me and have you destroy them on sight, if the Scauldron is immune to it's effects that is" The Dragons nodded, confirming his question on if they're immune or not. "Well just be glad you girl are immune to the effects of the Dragon Root, just think about what they could all do to you"

"Did I mention that it's only the pollen that infects us?" Hookfang asked

"Good to know that you won't be infected in it's vicinity. But I do have to say that I become all itchy during the Spring when the pollen's in the air, it burns like hell and I have to scratch" Hiccup breathed a sigh of relief

HTTYD

All through the while as the sunset was starting to come to a close, Hiccup finished writing down his letter to Fishlegs as he is the only Viking who could be trusted to keep a secret. With that act, he moved the stuff out of the way along with boulder before putting it back to the way it was; not wanting Astrid to find it at all

He made it to the Forge and grabbed his Armor with Wings, Inferno, His Shield and his Red Tailfin all in a duffel bag that he had gotten from Trader Johann. Meanwhile, he had to make an Mask to protect his identity if his helmet came off. Which didn't take to long as it turned out like this

The Mask was in shape of an mummy's bandage face that allowed his full hair flow out of it. It was buttoned on with Gronckle Iron studs and wrapped around on the back to camouflage it's opening, which was even more so thanks to his long hair. On the left side was an black and blue tint while the other right side was the same color of his Red Tailfin, with the angry white horned skull being situated on his cheek. The eyes themselves were tightened around to not show any skin and so was the mouth as only the lips were seen. Finally, his throat was also covered up and still allowed him to eat, drink and breathe

His armor was mainly all strong and durable dark leather, with metal shoulder pads that sported his Birthmark, his back also shared the same imprint. He also sported retractable wings inspired by his Dragon as they were made from Toothless' own scales, his armor had many features for exploring and looking for new places to fill the map of the Archipelago. On the arms were black and red bandages that were wrapped around him, black on the left and red on the right. His features included an dagger on his left bracer, flaps behind the right arm, an compass which was protected by Gronckle Iron to keep it from being damaged, ankle straps with pouches that would carry different fire types of the Dragons they meet and his own map under his chestplate

Before he would head back, he snuck into Fishleg's Bedroom through the window and left a note for him to burn so that it's to prevent anyone knowing the reason he's leaving before he left and made a straight sprinting dash over to the Cove without any further delays, hopefully in deep thought that Astrid did not find the Cove during his absence

HTTYD

Astrid had left her house and began to make her way over to the Forest, this time for sure was that she was going to find out what lies behind the boulders that blocked the entrance. She held her Axe close by her side and once she entered the Forest, she passed by her usual training spot and continued down further and deeper inside. She was growling at her thoughts for what was Hiccup using to cheat in Dragon Training, what was it that he was using and if not, who was he training with all of this time. She made it to where the signs were and trespassed inside, ignoring the various signs warning her to turn back

She walked the deep path inside and came down to a slope with wooden steps as if this was discovered before by the one who didn't want her to enter here, finally there she was at the Boulder that blocked her path. "Alright you son of a bitch, you can't hide whatever's behind this from me" She cursed under her breath as she jammed her Axe and in between until she felt it move freely on the other side and began to force open the entrance with all her strength and all of her might, moving the boulder backwards to the side until she was able to enter freely. Though her Axe was damaged for it's trouble, she would later have it repaired

She then saw that it was tunnelway that was entirely stuffed up with moss, branches and other stuff to keep her out of whatever lied behind here by the one who discovered this place, needless to say she was not impressed. "Here I go" She told herself as she began to hack away at the stuffing inside the tunnelway, digging deeper until she came across an beautiful but barren and secluded Cove. An lake was glimmering in the moonlight and there just so many places to check, but nothing did seem suspicious at all. However this did not stop Astrid from marching in here and shouting out

"Come out of there, I know you're the mentor whose training Hiccup!" She demanded angrily, furious over what she thinks is Hiccup's way of cheating. When there was no response, she growled and stiffened herself before marching all around the Cove with her Axe hanging in hand. She went off to examine anything suspicious by checking everywhere, what she did happen to find was that the grass had blood on it. Eel blood to be exact, but this couldn't be Hiccup since he made it clear that he hates eels; she remembered that the Twins pranked him by force feeding him them, but that wasn't a prank that was fucking torture. One thing she spotted was an Dagger in the water which she picked up and dried it off before placing in her belt

Another thing that she found was at the entrance which happened to be an Shield wedged in between, though she didn't check it earlier as the moss n' other stuffing was in the way. She went ahead and checked around for anything else that might be suspicious, which she just so happened to do so when she came across an Axe that somebody didn't want her to find at all. It was really sharpened and it was actually pretty big, bigger than her Mother's Axe she used and it was really light. The metal substance for the blade was unknown but it sure felt like something. She turned around twice for any sign of anybody coming before she took the Axe. If her Mother's Axe was destroyed then she would have a perfect replacement ready for her, she placed it on her back and continued to look around

There was some wooden dummies that were surprisingly durable and haven't broken just yet, some training arrows and just about everything she needed to know that Hiccup was training with someone and that he was cheating all along. "I knew it!" She exclaimed to herself,"That sneaky little cheater, the Chieftain is going to hear about this!" She then left the area, making sure to return one day to find more signs of Hiccup's little devious and lying schemes for Dragon Training. Now that Astrid was gone, the Dragons all came out from above (A/N: The spot where Toothless escaped the Cove to save Hiccup in the Film) and believed that it was now safe as she wasn't coming back

Stoick was having an drink of his own mead when Astrid arrived in the Great Hall, Stoick turned and took notice to her presence as he got up and walked to her. "Ms. Hofferson, what's the report?" He asked with authority in his voice

"Hiccup has been cheating in Dragon Training all this time, I've found signs of him being trained by a secret mentor of his. There's wooden dummies that have been splintered by this Axe made with this Unknown metal alloy, and there's been some arrows" Stoick growled, kept himself in control

"Continue, lass" Astrid nodded and did so

"There's also been some scorch marks in the Cove and I found this Dagger in the lake, we now that he was there. He was trying to keep me out of his little sanctuary by blocking the entrance with a boulder and stuffing the pathway up, but we got him right were we want him" She finished. Stoick's one true happiness for his own son was now shattered and turned into rage. How dare he cheat in Dragon Training, he was using tricks all this time and now he was keeping secrets from all of them. He took the Knife from her and bellowed out his voice to the other Villagers

"Gather all Vikings, each and every one; as many as you can. Light your torches and arm yourselves, we're going to hunt for this fugitive!" Stoick roared out, grabbing his Axe and leaving with an entire mob of armed and dangerous Vikings out into the Village. He was not going to have his son keep anymore secrets from him, this ends now!

HTTYD

Arriving back at the Cove, Hiccup immediately hugged Toothless was hoping that Astrid did not find him while he was away; the reason for this was that the Boulder has been moved and the pathway's stuffing was torn down. "She did not find any of us, we all kept changing spots whenever she came close" Toothless calmed the boy down, Hiccup let go of him and told the other Dragons

"Right, it's time we leave Berk for good. I have reasons to return here as I will explain when our new home and new friends are found, and from there I will have my revenge for what Stoick did for the many years that passed" He mounted onto Toothless with the saddle and Tailfin in place, and from there on out; Hiccup led the Dragons into the darkness of the sky above the clouds and out of the Cove from Berk. The former home in which he did not look back once as they all disappeared

Fishlegs awakened for something terrible, it was an nightmare and it was no pleasant dream. It was about the Gods being angered for what they have done and that the brothers Thor and Loki berated him for not standing up for him. He was sweating and he found an note by his side, reading through it and exiting his house to respect Hiccup's wishes by burning the note when he was stopped by the entire Village led by Stoick. All armed and wielding torches,"What's going on here?" He asked fearfully as he managed to hide the note

"Ms. Hofferson has went off to investigate on her patrol and concludes that my son has been cheating this whole time, and to think I was happy for him for placing first in Dragon Training all this time. But now he does not deserve this pride from any of us, he's been keeping secrets and we are all going to hunt and confront him at the place from where Ms. Hofferson has told us about and found evidence" Stoick had told him before having a suspicious feeling before giving this order to his men,"Restrain him, he's hiding something of his own"

"What? No!" Fishlegs was restrained by two Vikings as kept him up towards an wall, finding and allowing Stoick to take the note away from him. He read it out for the entire Village to hear out what his own son had to say

To the dickheaded lowlife failure of a Chieftain, but even more so as a Father

I have no father, you killed my real one all because of my mother was taken away by the Stormcutter from that night. My Birthmark is not a curse, it's a gift by Loki and you will not accept it for what I really am. I am no Viking, I will not live a life of being one of you. All Dragon Murderers like the Hairy Hooligans and all those who have hurt the innocent beasts must be taken out with no mercy

These were one of the worst years I have ever lived, all because you berated me and the Village ostricised me for something I could not control and accused me of a crime and murder that I didn't commit. After so much pain and suffering such as you whipping me all because you're drunk, no good bastard who doesn't deserve to be my dad; The Hairy Hooligans of Berk have pissed me off for the last time, now you will live to suffer my pain that you have brought upon me

I had left not too long ago after the Nightmare fight and I have felt like I wanted to die in the severe blizzard storm that came in my traveling, I had nowhere to go now and I just wanted to go to my grave, close my eyes and die. But then there was him, he rode upon an Night Fury whose appearance struck fear into myself from the first time I've met him, whose armor was an darkened cedar and umber brown. He wielded an Sword that can burn alight, an Shield made from the substance of my Uncle's Sword. He picked me up and took me to his home where you will never find us as he will threaten to tear down Berk off the map and leave you in ruins

He heard the cries of many Dragons and he has made peace with them, something that you will never do for you all are nothing but murderers and foul smelling, uncivilized monsters that crave only for this Honor bullshit. He is made peace with the Dragons and he treats them as his own friends and allies, you on the other hand call them "Devils" like you have called me before. If you dare go up against him, you will not be spared any mercy. Hell, he doesn't even know the meaning of this Mercy to Vikings like you

I am not worthy of being your son as I renouce every birthright that I hold to you, my new father is the one who has treated me with love, wanted me by his side until the end and has done everything you all have failed in the years since that night. But then again, you didn't even want to raise me when my mother was there; she frowns upon you all from above. Me and my father are always traveling throughout the Archipelago, so do NOT attempt to find me if you value your life or Tribe

FOR THE EYES OF FISHLEGS ONLY: By the time you have finished reading this, take this letter to Gobber to make him promise that he won't tell Stoick the Vast and burn this letter by any means necessary. I'm sorry that I left you as you were the only friend I had, but I didn't want you to suffer my fate as well with Snotbitch and his fellow Argue Twins. The Dragon Rider who has rescued me introduced himself as the Legendary Dragon Rider... DRAYKO RYDER

Forgive me my friend, I was real fool to stay on Berk. Nobody wants to stay here in a Village full of Dragon Murdering Vikings who refuse to help the Runt become one of them, but neither does anybody want to live with memories of pain here and left with lost hope and despair living in your dreams until your trip to the grave. Farewell Fishlegs J. Ingerman, you will become the best Dragon Knowledge Master in due time and to make sure that no Hairy Hooligans or Dragon Hunters can ever get their hands on valuable information about the Dragons, I have helped Drayko steal the Manual and rename it to "The Book of Dragons" where it will be kept out of reach of our enemies

May Loki watch over me and my Thor grant me Courage...

~HHH III

If someone was red, steaming and burning hot with extremely unstable and flammable furious rage right now; then that is Stoick right now. He was so angry that with his anger for the fact that his own son had abandoned his Tribe like a coward and sought the help of an Devil Riding Warrior from another Tribe out there or perhaps beyond the Archipelago, he burned the letter to ashes and caused an tremor on the Isle of Berk with his own fist slamming the ground

"How dare he! He has proclaimed himself as a Outcast and allowed himself to be taken in by a traitorous Devil Rider who threatens us all on Berk! He has really crossed far ahead of the line this time, there's no turning back now. I will not have an Devil Rider take my own son away from me! He has made fail my loving Valka and he has shown nothing but shame and dishonor to this Tribe. While we must not forget our true mission to destroy the nest to make sure the Devils ever return to Berk, we must hunt and KILL DRAYKO RYDER! EVEN IF IT MEANS ERUPTING A WAR IN THE ARCHIPELAGO, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES TO RECLAIM MY SON!" Stoick had screamed out, cheers followed with supporters gathering all around saying

"To Helheim with this Devil Rider!"

"Kill Drayko Ryder!"

"We must find him!"

"It shall be honorable to die knowing that I've fought by you Chief"

"We must not stop! We must first capture this Drayko Ryder!" Stoick yelled out once more and cheers erupted once again. He led them all back into the Great Hall and left Fishlegs to return to his bed and cry,"Sorry Hiccup... they all know now"

HTTYD

Hiccup, Toothless and the Dragons have been flying over for some time now, that is until they all came across an Large Island with twin mountains for the Moon to peak through and the Sun to bathe them all in it's morning rays. "There's the place, let's go" He flew down with the others and into the extremely thick forest from where they found an much larger secluded Cove than the one back on Berk. Trees and rocks cover the entrance that led down like stairs, an docking port was also nearby and the name of this land shall be called "Draconia" as it was well worth the title for all Dragons are welcomed here on his new Island

Still though, Hiccup couldn't help but feel guilty after the weight on his back has been cleared. He had wrote everything he felt from his pain down in that letter and he doesn't think he was ready for such thing before, once he landed; he just had to hug Toothless, he couldn't bare himself the pain. But even more so for the fact that his own Night Fury was crippled like this thanks to those Devils on Berk

"It's not your fault Hiccup, I'm the one who should be responsible for flying into that Trap"

"I know, but since Stoick has been talking about the Nest a lot; does this mean you have a superior of your own?" The Dragons deflated while Toothless spoke in a hateful tone

"Yes, we do"

"I shouldn't have asked"

"No, we must tell you. All of us should tell you" Stormfly nodded with the others

"I'll start first as I know how it all happened. I was once apart of a Drove, there were 3 Leaders that consisted of an Male, Female and Elder. The Male was unmated and as such, had to gain a mate of his own to keep his seat of power; he was of course Power Hungry which made sense, I could see it in his own eyes. The two of us wanted the same female for a mate, I can tell you know that this has no happy ending; but I'll continue. Her name was Aythro, the most beautiful one I've ever seen with scales possessing a deep violet/blue with a black tint and and her eyes were the most stunning shade of Yellow I've seen in a long time" As Toothless finished, his voice started to sound pissed. "Now of course as per the rules of our Drove: When two of us have the same affection, we must fight for her with Courage and strength of heart for the winner shall have thy mate. But that jerkass male known as Voidflier didn't want to play fair at all, no... I was stronger and older than he could ever be"

Hiccup gestured him to continue, which Toothless just now plain ass sounded angry,"He exiled me from the Drove, claiming that I had broke the sacred rules of combat and planned to cheat during our fight. That bastard will pay for what he did. I was exiled immediately as no one believed me, there was no one who could see through the biased lies and those who would defend me would risk getting exiled with me. I didn't want them to share my fate at all. My family and Aythro believed in me and the latter blew a kiss towards me after I left"

Hiccup moved in to hug him dearly and tightly,"I flew off pissed as shit, hurt by the fact that he would do this and betrayed by my own kind. With no regard for those who refused to believe my innocence, I fired off an barrage of Plasma Bolts (A/N: For readers who keep saying they're Plasma Blasts: They're called Plasma Bolts, NOT BLASTS!) towards them. My Pride was taken, chewed up and shat out of Voidflier's laughing ass but my name was not" Hiccup quickly responded with an angry outburst

"That ain't fair!"

"You're damn right it's not fair at all, if there's one thing I know is that you don't want to intervene when I fight him again. But when I look at you, there's no hesitation to go against your wishes for me to finish my revenge on my own. I came too close to Berk and was caught by the song of Red Death"

"If you can call that annoying, high pitched, Get Your Ass Back To Home and Feed My Lazy Fuckin' Ass signal, a song" Hookfang intervened, Meatlug held back her laughter at that explanation before Hiccup asked this question

"Who is this Red Death?" He asked, Stormfly began answering

"One of the worst demons we have been forced to listen to, a Demon who controls the minds of any Dragon that gets too close to her perimeter ratio. At least close enough to hear her awful singing" Stormfly explained

"She forces us to raid Berk everytime no matter the casualties and force us to feed her stupid fat ass, if we don't then she feasts on us. We hate her!" Belch explained/shouted in a tone that made him feel like he was about to shed a tear any moment

"We all hate her, soon enough Red Death will die" Stormfly calmed the Zippleback down

"Red Death, the Bane of Queens. We cannot face her alone, but together we can from where we stand. The Knights of the Dragon Riders will be united, but first must we must become Raiders of Knighthood for we have not felt like that we earned such title to be a Knight" Hiccup encouraged himself, feeling confident as Toothless told him

"The one reason that I never spilled your blood was because I saw the same reflection as you did. Wondering that lingering question of how can we take the lives of someone that reflects ourselves? I knew now that neither of were Redblood nor Darkblood, just ourselves who were like each other. When that Birthmark of your's glowed, I was cleared of the fog that clouded my mind and my vision. Fading out with no remnants and no remains left to be seen, you know it's time to do it; lead on my Brother..." Toothless reminded him as Hiccup grabbed his duffel bag and moved to the other side of the Cove, shadowed by the darkness as he spoke these words that would remind him of what's done is done

"It's time for Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III to disappear into the darkness of the Archipelago and my new self, my new confident and courage filled self to emerge into the deepest and most dangerous of the storms that Thor rains down upon us all. Here we go" He began to put on his Armor, removing his pants and removing his shirt. Placing Inferno onto his belt and putting his Gauntlets on while placing his Shield on his back as it would not slow him down even the slightest when flying. Toothless walked over to him and gave his now proclaimed Brother who looked at it and thought back to all of the dreams that foretold him of this time

Of how he planned to run away, of how he would rather explore than take up the responsibility of an Chieftain where he would have more Rebels than Supporters; how he would still be ostricised to this day

Some of the Dragons had doubted, now more than ever that the young boy would be able to accomplish what he intended to do. Moments have passed on and Toothless along with the others waited impatiently as Hiccup managed to put the one Mask that would be his identity on. Just as they were about to say something, the young adventurous boy who was no longer an scrawny teen turned to face his Night Fury; but to the others, they saw nothing of Hiccup in the new, confident, adventurous and calm, crusader warrior who stood before them. Meatlug stepped aside to allow the man who now took his place and Toothless to pass before her, mastering her own courage to tell them

"Don't let anybody stop you in your path for not only the 5 of us, but for the rest of the Dragons out there from the Bane of Queens"

The darkened figure in the moonlight mounted Toothless and flew off into the night, the Dragons all thought about this as an sign for what the Bane of Queens may suffer for her gluttony and wrath, but also thought this for something else...

Hiccup Horrendeous Haddock III was no more. Now there was only...

Drayko Ryder, the Leader of the future foundation known as the Knights of the Dragon Riders. Such as the fate of one like him, the Rider of the Night. But this is just the beginning as they have an long way to go, so be prepared

THE STORY CONTINUES IN "THE YOUNG DRAYKO RYDER CHRONICLES" VOLUME 1: Rise of Draconia and VOLUME 2: Raiders of Knighthood...
