Brogy and Dorry were still clashing with one another, practically stepping down on trees as they fought. The two of them then clash their weapons sending yet another shockwave across the ground, neither one of them relented as they continue to clash sword against axe.
Dorry backed away slightly only to thrust his sword forwards, but Brogy quickly jumped causing the sort impel a large amount in. He then grasped his ass with both hands and slammed it down towards Dorry, who quickly fostered his head upwards.
His helmet took the brunt of the blow and since he met the attack at mid-swing the axe did not have the impact it should have. He then head-butted Brogy's stomach while he was still in midair, preventing him from dodging. They slammed into yet another mountain and within seconds it crumbled to rubble.
Astrid and the others were still watching from Brogy's camp and to say there were overwhelmed by the sheer power of the Giants would have been an understatement.
"He blocked that hit with his helmet," said Snotlout almost struck. "It's incredible, a couple of inches to the left and right it would have killed him."
"These two are certainly powerful warriors," Astrid agreed.
Both Brogy and Dorry then rose to their feet and Brogy quickly swung his axe. However, Dorry leaned back so the only thing he was able to accomplish was a slice of few hairs on his long beard. Dorry then clenched his sword with both hands and swung it towards him, but Brogy quickly blocked it with his shield. Brogy then tried to retaliate using the blade of his axe, but like him Dorry blocked it with his shield.
Next second the two of them appear to be in some sort of wrestling match trying to make the other badge.
"What an incredible fight, huh?" said Snotlout. "Every one of those attacks is aimed at some vital spot. Just one slip from either of them and that's it, they're dead."
"These guys have really been fighting to the death for hundred years?" Fishlegs stared in disbelief. "It's got to get old. This is a good thing, this is our chance to get away."
"No, I'm seen this to the very end," said Astrid.
"What?" Fishlegs blinked.
Snotlout just stood there watching the two giants clash. "They fight so seriously and they don't even know why."
"A few moments ago, you wanted to leave," said Ruffnut looking at him.
"Yeah, what with the sudden change in attitude?" Tuffnut asked.
"This is a true example of a real battle between real men," said Snotlout folding his arms. "It's almost as if they've planted a flag in the hearts that says, 'I am a warrior, this flag is more important than anything.' More than their lives even, they can never let the flag be destroyed by someone else… that's why they continue this fight for hundred years. There's no way that I would turn my eyes on such a duel."
Fishlegs looked at Astrid. "Are you sure it's why staying here?"
"Brogy means us no harm," Astrid assured. "If you wanted to kill us he would have done so when we first met."
"Nothing is going to make him believe this part, it's my dream to be a brave warrior just like each of these titans," said Snotlout folding his arms. "Someday I will become a proud warrior of the sea."
Fishlegs sighed and sat down on a log. "I can't believe I'm really doing this."
"If there is a village for warriors like these two, then I really want to go there someday," said Snotlout with a dreamy look.
Meanwhile Miss Valentine was survey in the area by floating above the treetops.
"I've got a great view of here," she said.
"They're going to see you Miss Valentine," Mr 5 warned. "Now get down here."
"Oh, don't be so jittery, Mr 5. You see their completely absorbed in the fight down there, they won't notice me."
"Just come down already!"
Miss Valentine rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay."
She then increased her weight and gently landed on the ground.
"Now behave yourself, this is a 200 million gil job here," Mr 5 warned.
"Of course, but I'm not really crazy about this. Mr 3 wants us to do…"
"I know," said Mr 5 as he walked past her. "Come on now."
"Okay."
The two of them then started to descend into the jungle in order to fulfil their part of Mr 3's plan.
Brogy and Dorry were still fighting, but at their last crash they suddenly found themselves toppling over disarming themselves in the process. The two of them were practically worn out from all the battling, but even still they rose to their feet to keep on fighting.
"It's safe to say that we're both starting to get homesick here," said Brogy catching his breath. "Huh, Dorry."
"That's why I intend to win this duel of ours," said Dorry taking in several deep breaths. "I am going to beat you and go home to Jotunheim. Got that, Brogy."
The two of them then roared as a swung their shields at one another striking one another in the head at the same time.
"73,466 duels," said Brogy in a muffled voice.
"73,466 draws," Dorry added.
The two of them then toppled over signalling the end of their conflict for the day.
After about a minute of lying down there on the ground the two of them laughed.
"Hey, Dorry, a couple of guests of mine gave me some alcohol," said Brogy.
"Drinks? It's been a long while… hey, Brogy," said Dorry.
In the jungle, Toothless was completely unaware of the presence of the two giants, but he had heard the clash and were puzzled to its source.
"What was that? That was no normal earthquake and next discreetly laughing sound," said Toothless puzzlingly. "What's going on in this place? Well, best get back to hunting don't want Ragnar to out show me."
Ragnar had heard the same noise as Toothless as he strolled around in the deep jungle.
"Those didn't sound like normal birds," Ragnar frowned. "But they don't exactly look appetising so I have to hunt for something else. We maybe become competing for big prey, but a chef must have standards. Doesn't matter how big it is, it still has to taste good."
Dorry soon returned to Hiccup and Vivi with some barrels that Brogy had given him. Hiccup immediately recognised the barrels and informed him that they actually belonged to his ship.
"That's interesting," Dorry laughed as he looked the barrels. "So, Brogy's guests are friends of yours then. I saw blonde headed girl with a battleaxe strapped to her back, there was a husky blonde headed kid with skinny legs, a snobbish looking guy with black hair and a pair of twins, one girl and the other was a boy."
"That Astrid's group," said Hiccup folding his arms. "Guess they got bored staying on the ship."
"If they're your friends then I guess I can thank you too for these yummy refreshments," Dorry smiled gesturing to the barrels he was holding.
They then heard the sound of a pterodactyl flying overhead and Vivi looked back at Dorry, concerned about what he had told them about the island's magnetic field.
"So Dorry tell us, does it really take a year for the Log to reset on this island?" Vivi asked.
"Yes, did you notice all the mounds of human skeletons that are lying around here?" Dorry asked. "I guess it's hard not to. The people that come to this island tend to die before the Log is reset. Some become dinosaur food, some die from heat or first or starvation, others are killed because they stupidly attacked us… Whatever the case, they all died here somehow? An entire year on this island seems to be too long. So far no humans have been able to survive here the full year."
Vivi was utterly devastated. "What are we going to do? Even if we could manage to last here for a year who knows what could happen by then? My country could be lost."
Hiccup watched as she broke down into tears.
"Guess we know why Miss All Sunday said that we would die here," Hiccup sighed. "Obviously waiting around a year is not an option." Hiccup looked up at Dorry. "I don't suppose you have any ideas?"
Dorry frowned. "Hmm, we do have an Eternal Pose here, that its magnetic link is to our home village, Jotunheim. Basically that Eternal Pose is what Brogy and may have been fighting for with our duels this whole time. Of course, you could try to take it by force."
Hiccup shook his head. "That's no good, we have to stick to the rout measured by our Log Pose."
"Yes," Vivi agreed slightly crestfallen. "We have to follow the rout that leads us to my home or else there's no point."
"Maybe you could try sailing forward randomly," Dorry suggested. "You may get there eventually, if you're real lucky."
Hiccup grimaced. "I don't like the idea of sailing through uncharted waters, even if we do we stop of supplies is no telling when we would reach the next island. However, we may not have any other option."
"Now that I think about it someone did leave before their Log reset," said Dorry.
"Yeah, but what happened to him?"
Dorry laughed. "How should I know that?"
"He may been able to reach the next island."
"That must be it!"
The two of them then laughed and Karoo noticed the fierce look on Vivi's face indicating that she was not a laughing mood.
'What's so funny?' she snarled looking at Hiccup. 'I don't understand what these two idiots are laughing about a time like this.'
Meanwhile at Brogy's camp, Brogy was busy fixing his battleaxe while Snotlout told him of his dream.
"A brave warrior of the seas, you said," said Brogy as he looked down at Snotlout. "What's that exactly?"
"I'm talking about you guys, what I really want is to be like the two of you someday," Snotlout explained. He then patted his hand on his chest proudly. "I want to be a great warrior, I want to be brave and proud like you and the others from Jotunheim."
"I see, you know in Jotunheim even though our life spans are longer than yours are, we still think about how we'll die," Brogy explained. "We know everything we have, know everything we are will one day cease to exist like everything else. But it is worth it to die as a true warrior of Jotunheim without sacrificing your pride, that is what we call dying with honour. To die such a great death would be everlasting treasure, it's what we seek in Jotunheim."
"So bright is your treasure, that's great."
Meanwhile at Dorry's camp, Dorry wasn't feeling too good and then suddenly there was an explosion that sounded as if it came from inside his stomach and smoke exited from his mouth. Hiccup and Vivi were completely shocked as they watched him fall to the ground completely bewildered with what just happened.
"Dorry!" Hiccup cried. A few seconds earlier Dorry had been drinking the alcohol which only lead to one conclusion. "What happened? That was the same alcohol from our ship wasn't it?"
"Head exploded in his stomach," said Vivi stunned. "The other giant must have booby-trapped it."
Hiccup however didn't believe it was that simple. "No, you wouldn't believe that if you're watching them closely. They fight their duels honourably, there's no way he would do such a thing."
"Okay, but then who did do it?" Vivi asked.
"You strangers," said a voice behind them.
They quickly turned and saw Dorry had risen to his feet, though he was a bit unsteady. He was looking at them with absolute fury and it in take the two of them long to figure out that he was blaming the two of them for what had happened.
"That wasn't Brogy, no way," he said as he panted heavily. "No warrior of Jotunheim would dare. So… who else is there to suspect on this island then besides you?"
"Let's get out of here," said Vivi. "There's no use talking to him right now."
"I very much doubt running would do us any good," said Hiccup has he suddenly transformed into his hybrid form. "Stand back."
Vivi stared at him. "You're going to… fight Dorry."
"I don't want to, but we have to settle this."
"Don't do it you guys," Vivi pleaded and looked up at Dorry. "Stop it. Dorry, just listen to me. We don't know anything about the explosives in the barrels, I promise. We wouldn't do that, you can't be in any shape to fight right now so please stop."
Dorry narrowed his eyes. "Right, why should I believe you liars?"
He then swung his sword straight down at Hiccup, but he was able to fly up into the air to avoid it. Even swinging the sword proved to be dangerous for Dorry and Hiccup took this as his chance.
He quickly flew up straight towards Dorry and raised his fist. "Dragon—"
However, before he could swing his fist Dorry raised his shield and Hiccup slammed right into it and he was sent flying back towards the ground. Dorry then immediately performed yet another swing down on top of him, but Hiccup quickly flew out of the way just in the nick of time and Dorry coughed out even more blood.
Hiccup then immediately headed straight towards Dorry as fast as he could. 'I'm sorry,' he said to himself.
"Dragon Fist!" Hiccup roared and slammed his fist right into Dorry's stomach like a bullet.
The attack was hard enough to force Dorry to drop his sword, but he wasn't through with the fight just yet. He still had one foot in the air and he was about to bring it down on top of Hiccup and he had no time to fly out of the way and soon he was slammed into the ground like a bug.
Vivi screamed fearing the worst. "No, Hiccup!"
Dorry was still in massive amount of pain, the explosion combined with Hiccup's attack no doubt cause some serious damage. "So it's just as I suspected, he has power from one of the Devil Fruits." He then fell to his knees clutching his stomach. "It seems I underestimated… him."
He then collapsed right in front of Vivi.
Miraculously, Hiccup appeared to survive Dorry's last attack. His scales in his dragon hybrid form protected him from the blow, though he was very worn out.
Vivi was relieved to see that he was still alive and ran up to him. "Hiccup, are you all right?"
"How is he?" Hiccup asked.
Vivi looked at Dorry. "He should be okay. I guess you are right about fighting, he certainly a lot calmer now."
"I'm not," said Hiccup as he rose to his feet. "Dorry, was right about one thing. The other giant would never do such a thing like this, but I also know that our friends wouldn't do it either."
"Yeah," Vivi agreed knowing what he was getting at. "Then who?"
"Obviously there's someone else on the island."
Mr 5 and Miss Valentine had returned to Mr 3's abode informing him of the success of their mission.
"The key to winning any game is to know your opponents state of mind," said Mr 3 as he poured out a cup of tea. "And now that we have succeeded in confusing our enemy, they are no doubt wondering about the mysterious bomb we delivered. And about the identity of the invisible enemy."
He then handed out the 2 cup of tea is poured out to both Mr 5 and Miss Valentine. "Our first target was a long beard giant, Dorry. I knew of course that it would be nearly impossible to finish him off, but the damage done to his stomach by the bomb must have been considerable. Now we can sit here and enjoy our tea while relaxing and wait for the next duel to start."
"So we stay in the background and let the giant kill off the injured one," Mr 5 simplified.
"Yes, that's exactly right," Mr 3 chuckled.
"That is certainly an indirect method."
"Again you have to consider your enemy, warriors like these two operate in much the same way as wild boars. They can be intimidated on a head-on fight, but they don't have the brains to think on their immediate circumstance so why bother going after them directly when you have the intelligence to destroy them indirectly?"
Mr 3 then noticed that his partner had not moved a muscle, not even to get a cup of tea. "Why can't you get your own cup of tea Miss Golden Week?" Mr 3 asked as he took the cup of tea towards her.
"And what are we supposed to do with the Dragon Rider gang?" Mr 5 asked.
"Dragon Rider gang?" Mr 3 frowned. "Oh, you're talking about the little brats that found out about the boss' secrets?" He then pulled out a photo of Vivi as well as the pictures of Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs. "We can start by luring them out one by one, the order doesn't matter really. Let's start with the one closest to my tea set." He then looks back at the others. "I have a personal motto and that is 'big crimes equals big trips.' There are plenty of good ways to defeat any enemy all without fighting."
"Hey, Mr 3," said Miss Golden Week holding out her empty cup. "Refill."
"Yeah, while you're up," said Mr 5 doing the exact same thing.
Mr 3 narrowed his eyes at them. "Can't you savages take some actual time to savour your tea?"
Then they heard the sound of the volcano erupting which signified the next duel. Hiccup and Vivi was still trying to figure out what had happened to Dorry when they heard it.
"That's the signal, isn't it?" said Vivi.
Toothless was still hunting for any prey when he heard the volcano.
"Damn, guess my time is up," Toothless sighed. It was so busy looking in front of him that he failed to notice that he had stepped on a baby Triceratops. "Sorry, little guy."
The baby Triceratops didn't take been stepped on very lightly and immediately bit is put. Toothless roared in pain I was trying to shake it off and he was unaware that he was being watched by the baby's mother.
Ragnar was having similar problems as he walked around the jungle.
"I don't have any big prey to bring back and that was the signal," he cursed. "Guess my time is up."
Hiding amongst the trees was a sabertooth tiger and it was looking at Ragnar quite hungrily.
At Brogy's camp, as and the others had just watched the volcano explode unaware of what had transpired with Dorry.
"Well, there's the signal," said Brogy as he rose to his feet. "It's really been active today."
"You're really going?" Snotlout asked looking up at him. "But your wounds from the last battle having healed."
"Please, Dorry can't be doing any better than me," he then laughed. "A few scratches won't take me out of a duel, that would surely make me a poor excuse of a brave warrior."
Dorry, was determined to make his way towards the meeting point for his duel with Brogy, despite the injuries he had sustained.
"Dorry, wait," said Hiccup trying to stop him. "Don't."
"You can't fight, Dorry. You need to rest," Vivi agreed. "You'll die you push yourself too hard."
"I will fight," said Dorry with an unwavering resolve. "I am Dorry… I will—" He then coughed out some blood, "for Jotunheim's pride and die as a warrior."
He then rose to his feet and Hiccup had a bad feeling about all of this.
