Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ending Where It Began
"Catapults!" Spitlout ordered. Boulders flew and smacked the invader...but it did nothing! Some people stood frozen in fear. They stared up at the beast that caused every nightmare. Its club-like tail crushed buildings, its roar vibrated the air, it crawled over Berk as if it wasn't there. A majority of the dragons had sensed Her and fled long before she had gotten here. Some did try to be brave and protect their humans but when they saw Her all the bravery drained out of them. The ground shook as She roared even louder. Spilout grabbed a chunk of a broken catapult. He wiped back his arm and flung straight at Her face. The sharp parts made contact just above Her eye but didn't even break the scaly skin. She eyed the human that stood bravely, and a little bit nervously, in from of her. She reared back, ready to eat him whole. But suddenly a blast smacked the side of her head, high pitched sonic vibrations sang in her ears.
'Ah! Who did that!?' She looked up and saw a bold Thunderdrum flying straight at her. But it wasn't alone.
"Fire again!" Stoick shouted.
Thornado roared out another blast. It smacked her square in the face.
'Ugh! Why you little-'
She felt the sting of a shock and the blast of a fire follow. She looked and saw a Skrill and a Deadly Nadder fly past her. She tried to eat them but missed!
Meanwhile Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the twins took people to safety.
"What are you guys doing!" Spitlout shouted over Her roars, "Where's the Night Fury!?"
"It didn't go the way we planned," Fishlegs explained, "We'll have to defeat it in another way."
"Is there?" Spitlout looked up the dragons who dared to fight Her. They looked like flies compared to the gigantic beast.
"I dunno," Fishlegs admitted, "But Stoick and the others are distracting Her so we can people to safety."
"Waa!"
Fishlegs and Spitlout turned and saw Andres and Stormtwister fall. They crashed and Andres flew off of his dragon.
Spitlout rushed over to Andres, "Are you alright?"
Andres slowly rose up, "Ah...I think so..." He rubbed his head.
'I'm not!' Stormtwister cried, 'My wing is broken!'
Andres jumped up and ran over to his dragon. He studied the fractured wing, tears began to fall. "I'm so sorry buddy," Andres hugged his dragon.
'Don't cry. It'll heal.' Stormtwister crooned in an attempt to reassure Andres.
'You little pests!'
Everybody looked up and saw Kari and Stoick agitating Her as much as they could.
"Is getting that thing even more mad his plan!?" Spitlout couldn't believe that his Chief was being so reckless.
"Thornado fire!" Stoick ordered. His dragon roared out and a Sonic Blast flew through the air and smacked the side of Her head.
'Ugh!' She crushed buildings as she tried to keep the smaller dragons in her line of sight.
Kari and Striker flew up behind Her eyes, ready to shock Her good. "Are you kidding me!" Kari was astonished when two more eyes opened up right next to Her right eye, "This thing doe not have a blind spot!"
'Let's 'see' how it likes this!' Striker summoned all of his electricity and fired directly at one of Hers eye.
"Aha! You brat!' She swung her head to the right and before Kari and Striker could get out of the way they were knocked out of the sky. They landed with a loud thud into a pile of broken wood.
"Are you two alright!?" Stoick called out from way up above.
"Uhh...I think so..." Kari held her head, a throbbing headache started to trickle in, "Look out!"
"Whoa!" Thornado was just barely able to dodge that huge fire shot. Stoick turned to Valka, "Try it now!"
"Right! Astrid hold on!" Valka directed Cloudjumper over to Her. she swung her staff in a certain pattern, it vibrated with a strange sound. Valka explained that her staff was made in a very specific way. It was made to make certain sounds that meant different things to dragons. Valka held out her hand, in hopes that the mighty beast would understand that she was in charge. But instead she was greeted with an angry roar. Cloudjumper pulled back in time before She clamped down her jaws.
"Has that ever happened before?" Astrid asked even though she didn't want to know.
"Never," Valka was stumped, "I guess Hiccup was right. A cannibalistic dragon cannot be reasoned with."
"So...what do we do now?" Astrid could feel her hope fading away.
"We led it away from the village!" Stoick said as he flew over, "We know it can fly."
"But we can't kill Her," Astrid pointed out, "Only a Night Fury has the pin-point accuracy to do so."
Stoick sighed, "We'll think of something."
She roared loudly and shot another fire blast at them. They were just barely able to dodge.
'Ah! My eyes!' Cloudjumper screamed. He didn't get hit but the brightness of Her fire blinded him. Luckily Valka was able to guide him to the ground. They were out. It was just Stoick and Thornado.
"Just you and me old friend," Stoick patted Thornado.
'Let's make Her regret ever leaving her little island!' Thornado exclaimed. Both man and dragon roared out as they bravely charged the beast. She fired at them but they dodged it. Thornado shot a Sonic Blast right in Her mouth. She roared out in pain. She snapped her jaws but missed. Stoick planned to fly around Her backside so they could fire another shot form the other side.
'Not so fast!' She exclaimed. She raised her club-like tail and swung it wildly.
'Look out!' Thornado tried to dodge but this time...their luck was out. They smacked into Her tail dead on and crashed to the ground. Thornado recovered quickly. 'Stoick!' He ran over to his human. The dragon nudged Stoick.
"Stoick!" Valka ran over to her husband.
'He's knocked out,' Thornado explained, 'but I think he'll be fine.'
'Insolent insects!' She faced the downed riders with rage, 'You will be eaten for attacking me!' She reared back, her mouth a gape. Everyone prepared for the worse.
But then, from the blackening clouds above, came a whistle that the Berkians knew all to well. In the blink of an eye a purple fire flew through the air and smacked the back of Her head. A swift moving shadow flew past almost immedietly after. The ground shook as she hit the ground.
"Hiccup," Valkas heart swelled with joy. Aww
"I can see why the dragons were so afraid of that thing, "Hiccup said as they climbed the sky, "She is one ugly dragon."
'We gotta get Her in the air Hiccup,' Toothless explained, 'She may be able to fly but Her wings are paper thin.'
"I see what your saying bud," Hiccup smiled. He knew that he was facing a gigantic cannibalistic dragon...but this was the most fun he has had in years!
She staggered upwards, the breath nearly knocked out of her. She glared up at the ones who knocked her down. So there you are, She growled in her thoughts as she watched the Night Fury fly around. She extended her wings and lifted herself off the ground. The force of the wind she kicked up sent both vikings and broken building flying.
"Here She comes," Hiccup watched as She effortlessly climbed up to them, "Look out!" Toothless managed to dodge a rage filled fire shot.
She chased them around the island. Sea stacks fell when she crashed into them as if they weren't there. Hiccup glanced back at the gigantic dragon that roared angrily at him. He knew what he had to do and it tore his heart apart. But...he knew that he had no choice. "Okay Toothless. Time to disappear!" Hiccup and Toothless shot straight up into the dark clouds. She followed them right in. The people of Berk could only watch as Her roars echoed down to them.
She hovered among the black clouds, her prey was lost. 'Show yourself!' She threatened. Everything was quiet. but then the silence was broken when Toothless shot a Plasma Blast and it struck Her wing. 'Ah!' Now that hurt. She spun around several times in an attempt to get a clear shot. She growled in frustration as she couldn't locate the Nigh Fury. Toothless continued firing multiple blasts, each hitting Her harder and harder each time. 'Enough of this!' She roared so loudly that the air shook. She spun around again; this time She left a trail of fire.
Hiccup and Toothless expertly dodged the fire. They flew by Her head, Toothless shot a blast at her to get her attention. The Night Fury dived straight down. She angrily followed; Her roars vibrated the air. "Just a little bit more," Hiccup urged Toothless. Before long Hiccup could see apart of the ground. His plan was going to work! But then...it was as if time had slowed down. The ground in front of them was The Cove. The place where Hiccup and Toothless bonded. Where they learned how to fly together. If the plan went all the way The Cove was going to get destroyed. Hiccup looked back. Green gas filled Her mouth, She was about to fire. It was now or never! "Now!" Hiccup signaled.
Toothless spun around and fired a shot straight into Her mouth. She cried out in pain. Then she noticed the ground that they were hurdling towards. She stuck out her wings but the blasts from the Night Fury had burned holes into them. She couldn't pull up! Hiccup and Toothless pulled away right before She crashed into the ground. She exploded into a fiery explosion that burned away the forest in an instant. The people of Berk stood in shock as the dragon was incinerated. Then they erupted into cheers and applause. When Hiccup and Toothless landed they were surrounded by vikings. They grabbed Hiccup and held him above them in triumph.
Valka watched as the people cheered and high-fived each other.
"Ohhh..."
"Stoick!" Valka cheered in glee. She hugged her husband after she helped him sit up, " He did it Stoick!"
"Wa..." Stoick took a second for his mind to catch up, "Hiccup?" He looked up and saw Hiccup being held up above. Stoick felt joy fill his heart. Finally, after all this...he was back home! Stoick stood up, steadied him before he fell over, then walked over to his son. The people put Hiccup down in front of his father. They stared at each other, waiting for the other to make a move. But then Stoick reached out and pulled Hiccup in for a hard hug. "I'm proud to call you my son, "Stoick smiled.
Ignoring the pain from the "viking hug" he was in Hiccup smiled as well. "Thanks...dad."
