A/N: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON OR ITS FRANCHISE! THE ONLY THING I OWN ARE MY OCS!

Chapter 21: One Last Battle

Jayla's POV

I didn't have to bring them to the island. But I had heard what Dad did to Hiccup. And he took me away from my nest and hatchlings. If he died today, I wasn't sure I cared. I knew it was wrong of me to think that, but it's the truth.

Either way, though, we were at the nest. I could feel the queen's anger. And I was frightened to be here. Mainly because I was locked down and had no way to escape if she attacked me. I would be killed soon enough if I didn't get help.

I heard my human father say as he talked to his council, "When we crack this mountain open, all hell is going to break loose."

"In my undies. Good thing I brought extras," Gobber commented.

"No matter how this ends, it ends today," Dad called. He placed his hand up to those at the catapults waiting for the signal to fire. He quickly made his hand into a fist and the boulders were fired.

All of the shots hit their target. As such, a giant hole was formed in the mountain's wall. Dad walked onto the rim of it, hammer at ready. He gestured for the fire catapult to be fired. The boulder was covered in grass and flammable items, so they lit it aflame and shot it into the tunnel. It went in and revealed thousands of dragons along the walls.

My father gave a battle cry and the dragons hurriedly flew out. None of them were hit by the Vikings to my relief, but I knew why they were running and not fighting. The queen was coming.

"Is that it?" Gobber asked.

I fought to get out of my confinements and away from this place. Especially as I felt the queen's anger getting closer. Gobber called a victory.

But I immediately called to all of them, "Run!" They all paused and looked at me. Including my father. "Get clear of this place! Now!"

"This isn't over!" Dad called. "Form your ranks! Hold together!"

"No, Dad! If you don't get out of here, you'll all be killed by the queen," I tried again. "She's already going to kill me. Just get out of here now! If you don't, the entire village will be killed!" That's when the ground began to shake and a massive roar was heard from within the mountain. "After what you did to Hiccup, you can do what you want Dad, but the rest of you need to get out of here! Now!"

They looked at Stoick for his opinion. That's when the queen began to break out of the mountain, making all of the Vikings realize why I was so fearful. Seeing the size bit by bit as it came out. Stoick was already ordering everyone to get clear.

"Beard of Thor!" Gobber exclaimed. "What is that?"

"That's a queen dragon, Gobber. And you've just made her mad," I answered and they looked at me in worry. "I'm already a goner. Get out of here! Now!"

"Jayla…" Dad muttered. She was putting her safety on the line, wanting to be sure the village was safe. 'Hiccup warned me about this. And I was too angry to listen. He was trying to protect the village, too. Oh, what have I done?' I heard him think.

"Dammit, Dad! Get out of here. Get everyone out of here!" I ordered again.

"Get to the ships!" a Viking ordered.

"No! No!" Dad called. I knew why as well. Because immediately after, the queen blew her fire and lit every ship aflame.

Luckily, the Vikings on the ships were able to jump into the water for safety. I was okay since my skin protected me from the flames, but I was still stuck on the burning ship. I knew the queen was looking for me as well. She was ready to kill me.

Despite my work against it, I cried out in fear. I noticed Dad look at me in worry. But he quickly turned away. But I understood that he needed to protect the people he brought. He brought them to the island. He had to make sure they were safe.

Stoick came up to Spitelout. "Lead the men to the far side of the island," he ordered the Viking. The man immediately ordered everyone to follow his lead. Stoick looked at Gobber. "Gobber, go with the men!"

"I think I'll stay, just in case you're thinking of doing something crazy," he retorted.

"I can buy them a few minutes if I can give that thing something to hunt," Dad stated his reasoning. He turned and Gobber grabbed his hand.

"Then I can double that time," my dad's old friend stated.

Dad smirked and nodded. They immediately began to attack the queen, who was scanning the ships for me. "Here!" he called.

"Oh no, here!" Gobber followed.

That's when the queen spotted me. She began to go towards me and I tried again to fight. "Oh no…" I heard Dad muttered in fear. He turned to Gobber. "That thing's going after Jayla!"

He noticed one of the spikes in the ground. He grabbed it and flung it at the queen. It hit her in the side of the head, taking her attention. It looked between him and Gobber.

"Come on! Fight me!" Gobber called.

"No, me!" Dad followed.

The queen just reared her head, preparing to burn them to death, But that was when a blast hit the queen's head. She stopped and shook her head. Out of the smoke came Hiccup on Echo and the other cadets on the other dragons. I also noticed my hatchlings on Echo.

"Echo! Did you even try to stop them from coming?" I called.

"I tried my hardest. But they found some way to lock onto me just as I took off," he answered, seeming guilty.

"I'll worry about that later," I retorted as I heard Fishlegs give his analysis of the queen and Hiccup make his plan. "For now I could use a bit of help."

"Right," he agreed. He quickly changed directions, making Hiccup cry out for a second in shock.

"Found her, I'm guessing?" Hiccup called. He then noticed me. They quickly landed. "Jayla!" He pulled off my muzzle. "Okay, hold on…"

Echo tried blasting off the chains and the hatchlings were frantically trying to find a way to get the collar off of me, but the chains were as stubborn and practically fireproof and the color was too tough for the little ones to break. The queen swiped her tail and a sailboard fell down, barely missing me, Hiccup, Echo, and the hatchlings.

That's when I noticed something. "Echo, get the hatchlings and Hiccup out of here! Now!" He didn't question and was quick to gather the hatchlings. He didn't have to grab Hiccup however before the queen's foot was dropped on the ship flinging both me and my brother into the water. I was just thankful my mate and hatchlings were safe.

I landed on the seafloor and looked as Hiccup swam down. He frantically tried to yank at the chains. "Hiccup! The collar! Break the collar!" I tried but he was too close to losing his breath.

He lost consciousness moments after when someone grabbed him and yanked him up. I was barely able to recognize him. He brought my brother up to the surface and set him down on shore. With my brother in safety, I just layed down, ready to submit to my fate.

That's when my father came in front of me. I looked at him, studying him for any tricks. That's when it grabbed the collar where it was connected and split it open. With me free, I jumped off, grabbing my father along the way.

I pulled him to the surface and dropped him on the ground. He turned as Echo and my hatchlings came by my side as I shook off the water. Echo and I nudged each other lovingly. Echo called for Hiccup.

"You got it, Echo," Hiccup agreed and quickly boarded the saddle.

I looked at the hatchlings. "Guys, hide somewhere clear from the queen. Do you understand?" I told them. "I'll come back for you once I'm done."

"Yes, Mama!" they agreed. I gave them a small nudge before they ran off.

I turned and watched as Dad apologized to Hiccup. They shared a few words before Dad said something that made me relieved, "I'm proud to call you my son."

"Thanks, Dad," Hiccup responded.

"Let's go!" I called and we launched into the air.

I looked to see Snotlout on the queen's head, Fishlegs on the ground with his Gronkle, and the twins on the Zippleback. Astrid on her Nadder ordered the twins to get Snotlout clear and they agreed, but were fighting along the way. Snotlout noticed them incoming and jumped at the right moment, the Zippleback catching him between their necks.

Astrid passed by the queen who opened her jaws, sucking the dragon and rider towards the inside of her mouth. Echo and Hiccup sped up and hurried in the air, Echo preparing a blast. Once they were close enough, my mate shot his assault.

It made the queen stop, but Astrid was knocked off her dragon. I was quick to grab her by her legs. She looked at me and I nodded at her. I lowered myself towards the ground while flipping her so she could land on her feet. I set her down and flew off to help Hiccup and Echo.

"That thing has wings," Hiccup stated. "Alright, let's see if she can use them."

Echo went as high as he could before zipping down to the ground. As he came to the right height, he shot his attack which hit the queen in the neck and forced her to the ground. Echo came to my side.

I told him and Hiccup, ensuring the queen couldn't hear me, "Hiccup, Echo, I can control the queen long enough to give you the final blow if you keep her distracted long enough."

"What final blow are we talking here?" Hiccup asked, quietly. The queen was too busy getting up again to listen.

"Hiccup, you learned that dragons aren't fireproof on the inside. If distract her long enough for me to take control of her for a last second, I should be able to make her begin to breathe flame but not ignite it in time for Echo to shoot it and make the build up backfire through her body," I stated. "Can you do that?"

"We can," Echo answered.

"Then let's go," I stated and we turned as the queen got into the air.

I stayed close to Echo as the queen chased us through the air. We then darted into the clouds. Echo wouldn't be able to be seen as easily as me, but I would still be able to be hidden in the clouds.

The queen fired at us and we dodged it, thankfully. That's when we disappeared in the clouds, keeping the queen searching for us. I stayed to the side a bit at Echo's order, only to come to him when I had gained control of her enough for the final assault.

Meanwhile, Echo was firing blast after blast at the queen, hitting her every place he could. Especially the wings. And after every assault, he disappeared into the clouds again.

Finally the queen had enough and sprayed fire in every direction possible. I came next to Echo, having finished my first part. He nodded in acceptance and we dived down towards the ground. The queen tried to get us but missed.

I began to focus and I had her begin to build up. I could feel her fighting my control, but it was a losing battle. That's when she had enough build up. Echo flipped around and shot a blast in her mouth. It immediately backfired through her entire body. With that in place, I released my control over her.

She noticed the ground coming and opened her wings to slow her fall. But tears and holes formed in her wings, not doing what she needed them to do. Meanwhile, Echo and I caught ourselves and began to fly through the gaps in her back as she crashed on the shore.

The fire ignited through the queen's entire body, making it explode into flames. That's when the tail began to fall towards us. It immediately hit Echo and Hiccup. Hiccup fell off and Echo went to save him.

Just as I went to save him as well out of impulse, though, the rest of the tail smacked into me and threw me through the lines of spikes. I cried out as I felt one go through my abdomen, but almost immediately blacked out before hand.
