Episode 36: The Confrontation
-Haddock Residence-
It was now early morning as most of Berk's own population began doing their daily tasks. However a certain couple was slowly waking up from last nights event. As Astrid woke up she found herself on Hiccup's chest before quickly checking to see if she had her clothes on before signing in relief.
"Phew...we didn't do it.." she said as Hiccup soon woke up yawning. "Morning Astrid..." he said as he noticed their position as Astrid smirked. "Well this is awkward" Hiccup said as Astrid nodded before picking herself up. "So your going to talk to Toothless later on right?" she asked as Hiccup nodded as he stretched. "Yes I will Astrid. If there's one person who knows about this its Toothless. I just hope he can find a way to stop this" Hiccup muttered as Astrid sighed.
"Well for now let's just enjoy the peace and quiet...for now" she said as Hiccup raised an eyebrow at her. "What do you mean for now?" he asked as Astrid rolled her eyes before looking at Hiccup. "Hiccup...let's face it...nothing is normal around Berk" she said as Hiccup thought but nodded in agreement. "I guess your right...I do wonder one thing though...were does our life go if we defeat Red Death? Does it simply end after 98 minutes or so?" Hiccup asked as Astrid placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey when we defeat the Red Death you'll know by then" she smiled as Hiccup slowly grinned. "So m'lady what shall we do today?" Hiccup asked as Astrid simply rolled her eyes.
"Well how about we just walk around Berk for once?" she offered as Hiccup nodded. Soon the two left unaware of the other events happening.
-Dragon Island-
Lizaru and the Sinister Four were simply staring at one another...if you could call it staring as Lizaru snickered and gave a wide smile. "So...I'm taking it you've never laid eyes on a human with out of this world powers?" Lizaru asked as he snapped his fingers and the Smothering Smokebreath began to glow neon green much to their confusion as seconds later he was transformed into a Terrible Terror.
"Ah! What have you done to me?" the Smothering Smokebreath now Terrible Terror asked as the Changewing snickered. "Well at least it's an improvement from what you usually look like" he said as the Terrible Terror (Smokebreath) growled at him before looking at Lizaru.
"Change me back now!" he ordered as Lizaru simoly laughed it off. "Well how about no...or maybe not yet anyways. I want to have some fun around this joint" Lizaru stated as the Red Death sighed. "Lizaru my dearest treasure. You can play with your new toys after you successfully bring Draco over to me" the Red Death said softly as Lizaru groaned before reverting the Smothering Smokebreath back to normal. "I never get to have fun...but hey not my fault that Draco is putting up a fight. Besides I have my own problems to deal with anyway" he said earning a eyebrow from the Whispering Death.
"This important business would be?" he asked as Lizaru looked at him. "Let me put it to you this way. Draco & Gyda aren't the only ones you gotta watch out for" he exclaimed as the Siniter Four simply raised eyebrows. "And your saying?" the Flightmare asked as Lizaru chuckled.
"I'm saying that Draco isn't the only Humagon out there" he smirked as the Sinister a Four simply stood silent. "Now thats a shocker..." Lizaru snickered as the Whispering Death glared at him. "Later losers. I'll be back!" he said as he transformed into a green version of a Night Fury before flying away.
-The Forest-
Hiccup & Astrid were both walking around the forest in hopes of finding Toothless somewhere. "So you think he's around here?" Astrid asked as Hiccup nodded his head while walking. "I know he's around here Astrid. He's usually just eating a bunch of fish right now" Hiccup exclaimed as Astrid raised an eyebrow but shook her head.
"Okay but what if-?" Astrid stopped when Hiccup placed his hand over her mouth. She raised an eyebrow but Hiccup made a motion to listen which she did and they began to hear noises. They looked at each other before nodding as they slowly began walking to the cause of the noise. Seconds later they looked over a bush to see Toothless munching down on several piles of fish.
"What do you know? He would be eating fish" Astrid stated as Hiccup nodded and the two made their way to to Toothless who smiled at them. "Hey there Astrid and Hiccup. What brings you two here?" Toothless asked as Hiccup sighed looking at Astrid who nodded her head.
"Well Toothless...last night while me and Astrid were battling the Sinister Four, the queen herself possessed me and I almost attacked Astrid in the process" Hiccup explained as Toothless dropped the half-eaten fish in shock. "The queen possessed you?!" Toothless asked before looking at Astrid who nodded. Astrid couldn't speak to Toothless the way Hiccup could but she could tell that he was shocked. "Oh no...this is not good...Hiccup do you remember when exactly you lost control? What exactly triggered it?" Toothless asked as Hiccup thought hard before snapping his fingers.
"Well I was battling the Changewing and the Whispering Death when suddenly a lady in a blue dress appeared and had the same voice of Red Death from my nightmares. Other than that everything is a huge blank" Hiccup explained as Toothless narrowed his eyes in thought. "Hiccup if I know the queen correctly she does not have that kind of power at her disposal. My hunch is that she's alligned with someone of that ability..." Toothless said as Hiccup blinked as Astrid raised an eyebrow. "Whats Toothless saying?" Astrid asked as Hiccup looked at her.
"Astrid...someone's working with the queen and this person apparently has the ability to make her appear as if she was human" Hiccup explained as Astrid placed a hand over her mouth. "This can't be true can it?" she asked as Toothless nodded his head. "How for the whole possession scenario...Hiccup I think it's time you conversed with him" Toothless said as Hiccup glared and folded his arms. "Like I'm going to do such thing after what he did" he said as Astrid was confused on the entire scene. "Um what's going on?" Astrid asked as Hiccup sighed.
"I have to talk with Draco...my other half" Hiccup said with Astrid frowning upon remembering the incident with Hiccup being a full Night Fury. "Well...just try and make it quick.." she said as Hiccup nodded before closing his eyes.
-Hiccup's Mindset-
Hiccup slowly found himself in a dark room as he looked around. "Alright Draco! Where are you?" Hiccup questions before hearing several chains as he turned around to see Draco Ryder (Humagon). "So I see you made time to pay a visit?" Draco huffed as Hiccup glared at him.
"Oh ha ha, very funny. You know what you did and the reason why your here" Hiccup said as Draco rolled his eyes. "Hey it was my first time. Not everybody is good and I bet your here because of the whole possession incident last night" Draco questioned with Hiccup raising an eyebrow. "How did you know about this?" Hiccup asked.
"Dude I'm your other half...I know almost everything about you and before you ask...I had no part of this whole possession" Draco exclaimed as Hiccup folded his arms. "And wHy should I believe you?" Hiccup asked as Draco growled. "Because Haddock if you die the same fate will belong to me which is why I need you alive" he said as Hiccup folded his arms. "Alright then...I guess there's nothing to discuss.." Hiccup said as he began walking away until Draco stopped him.
"What is it?" Hiccup asked as Draco narrowed his eyes. "Hiccup...I think Toothless is hiding something from you.." Draco said as Hiccup raised an eyebrow at him.
-Other Side Of Berk-
Unknown to everyone several ships arrived as it revealed that several Outcasts walked out as Dagur came down with hands folded behind his back. "Ah Berk how I missed you so" he grinned as he turned to see two of the Vikings holding the tied up parents of Heather.
"So Alvin what was the plan again?" Dagur questioned as Alvin walked out chuckling evily. "Well the plan is to use them as bait. Since our spy is on Berk will use these two to bring her here" Alvin explained as Dagur nodded. "And after that will ask her everything she's learned or else" he said as the father of Heather glared at him. "Or else what?" he asked as Dagur chuckled twirling a dagger before throwing it at him as it missed by a inch almost impaling his shoulder.
"Or suffer death...we start tonight...no exceptions. We will finally find out who Draco Ryder is once and for all" Dagur said as the Outcasts cheered.
To Be Continued..
With the help from hiccupandtoothless294 I've come up with the backstory for Lizaru/Alternate Hiccup. In the universe in which Lizaru or Hiccup at the time lived he had abilites of a sorcerer. He was good friends with Astrid who casted a spell upon him accidentally causing him to go mad. He began a vicious slaughter and ruled over Berk and several other villages known as Lizaru The Sorcerer. Lizaru is deemed un-killable but however due to Astrid casting the spell only her and any other Astrid from any universe and reverse the spell itself.
So now Lizaru has been summoned by the queen Red Death to do her a task which is to bring Draco/Hiccup over to her side but now finds it difficult. Unknown to him is that he doesn't realize that Gyda is Astrid and also that Draga/Hicca is still around. There it is and ill see you all next time!
