Hiccup's POV

"We need to prepare for the worst." I said, snapping into action.

"Ari, Helga. Take Klint, Kol, and Heith to the Healer's. We'll need every rider we can get. Asrtid, you prepare with Ruff, Tuff, Snotlout, and Fishlegs. Everyone else prepare yourselves and your dragons for battle" I said.

Everyone nodded and they all sprang into action.

I ran towards my old home where I hoped a prayed my father was.

I banged on the door and he opened it with an irritated and puzzled expression on his face.

"What!?" he said, his brow furrowing.

"Dagur. Dagur is coming. He's about to invade Berk with his armada" I said.

"How much time" Stoick said, his expression hardening.

"A few hours at the least. Me and my riders are preparing and I suggest you do the same with the village." I said.

Stoick then ran out of the doorway, rushing to prepare the village for the imminent attack.

I then called Toothless and he flew towards me with lightning speed, being at my side within moments.

"What is our plan?"

"Try and keep Dagur from destroying Berk" I said starting to rummage through Toothless's saddle bag.

"What are you looking for? Shouldn't we be preparing?"

"That's exactly what I'm doing bud." I said finding the item I was looking for. I pulled out the tightly wrapped package.

Ironclad's POV

Once everyone had started to prepare for the upcoming battle I hopped onto Black Ice.

"We need to get something before the invasion begins." I said and he nodded, taking off into the sky.

I flew us not to high, I needed to be able to see the exact island I needed. Once I saw the uniquely shaped island we soared down and landed next to a cave.

"You're using it?"

"Its time" I said moving the rocks out of the way to find the package I needed.

"Why this moment? Dagur is tough and with Dahlia and Luna by his side this will be a hard battle. But...why?"

"She made this for me to use to protect the people we cared about. Its about time I did that" I said starting to remove my armor.

Astrid's POV

I was looking over my new ax while the other Berk teens were preparing with their dragons. Everyone stood outside the tower, waiting for Hiccup to return to give us the orders we needed.

"Its a lovely gift" Ora said as she stood behind me. I spun around to meet her gaze.

"Yes...Hiccup is always thoughtful like that...he's too good for me sometimes" I said.

"But you didn't always see him that way did you?" Ora said raising an eyebrow.

"Before yes. I saw him as more of a nuisance that didn't take anything seriously. But then... he changed everything with Toothless. He changed me" I said.

Ora sighed and shook her head "Ironclad was the same way when he was younger. He was sarcastic and a bit of a weakling. I remember when he was born how he struggled for every breath. My mother and father feared he wouldn't make it through his first year. Even I had doubts...but now...I look at the man he has become and know with pride in my heart he is one of the strongest."

"Ironclad was like Hiccup?" I said.

"He was scrawny for sure, but he was determined. I suppose he was like a mixture of your personality and Hiccup's he was intelligent, far more than probably anyone in our tribe. He was set on becoming a great warrior, the greatest our tribe has ever seen. But he has become so much more than that now" Ora said.

I smiled and looked back at my ax. It was so intricately crafted and unique I knew Hiccup had to have spent a long time on it.

"Astrid!" I heard Ari call as I saw her, Helga, Kol, Klint, and Heith walking towards us with their dragons. Kol, Heith, and Klint also had the weapons Hiccup had made for them as well.

All three of the boys had bandages across some parts of their arms and torsos.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked once they reached us.

"We've had worse injuries. Plus that burn salve Ironclad had really helped" Klint said.

"And we wouldn't want to miss this" Heith said smirking.

"Wait a second. Where is Hiccup and Ironclad?" Ari said, her brow furrowing.

"He left right as everyone started getting prepared for battle. I assume it was to tell Stoick about the armada" I said.

"You're right, as usual Astrid" I heard Hiccup say behind me. I turned around to see him standing before me in amazing leather armor. The top half of his body was clad in black leather with straps across his chest. His right shoulder had a red viking symbol that matched the one on Toothless's old tail. brown leather ran down the sides of his body. Hiccup held a helmet with small spikes on it in his right hand. Both of this flaming swords were strapped to his sides and a few extra pouches on his legs that I assumed was full of Zippleback gas and Nightmare saliva for his swords.

"Hiccup...you look.." I said almost star-struck.

"Awesome!" Heith said throwing his hands in the air "I mean look at you!

"What's with the fancy new armor Hiccup?" Ari said walking over and looking him over.

"Its a special armor I've been working on for a while. I think I've worked out all the kinks but I guess there is no time like now to use it" Hiccup said.

"The kinks?" Ari said.

"It has a couple surprises" Hiccup said smirking.

"Oh really?" I said raising an eyebrow.

"Where is Ironclad?" Hiccup said looking around the group.

"Right here" Ironclad said landing with Black Ice right beside Hiccup and Toothless.

Ironclad got off and everyone gasped at the sight of him.

Hiccup's POV

Ironclad wore an amazing new suit of armor. It looked like it was made primarily of two different materials, one was a dark bluish-grey leather and the other was white.

His boots were made of two materials, the front was the dark blueish green leather and the back was a made of the white leather. The leg armor has the outer area of the pants in the darker leather while the inner working was white with hard sections around the shins and spikes on the thighs outer region. The belt is pure black leather, with a buckle having the black blood tribe and the white light tribe symbol on it. The Black Blood symbol being a black sword aiming down, with the White Light tribe symbol being a white shield with wings and a star on it.

Ironclad's top torso was again a mix of the bluish grey leather and the white. The leather was he inner leather while the blueish grey was the outer leather. Spikes adorned his shoulders and the four arms. His gloves were white on the inner palm while the darker leather covered the outer hand.

His sword was still on his back, its usual spot.

The helmet looked like it was made out of a white tusk and was used as his facial cover while the blueish grey leather covered the area around his head. I could only see his eyes, as the lower half of his face was covered by the helmet.

"Where in the world did you get that armor!" I exclaimed.

"It was a gift..from Calypso" Ironclad said a bittersweet tone in his voice "She made it herself. She gave it too me two weeks before the wedding was suppose to take place...she had worked so hard on it and was overjoyed when I told her how much it meant to me that she made it." he said shaking his head.

"That material...it looks like..."Fishlegs said.

"Dragon skin? Yes." Ironclad said.

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"Don't worry Hiccup, both dragons were long dead before Calypso got her hands on them. Its made from parts of the Red Death, which Hiccup here defeated and a Bewilderbeast."

"Bewilderbeast?" I said "I've never heard of that dragon before"

"Its the alpha species. Its a colossal white dragon with mighty tusks. It doesn't have wings but it can shoot ice instead of the traditional fire blast."

"Ice?!" I said.

"Yes. Though every nest may have its queen, the Bewilderbeast is the king, and one of the rarest species out there." Ironclad said.

"Wow... I mean... how did Calypso even get her hands on that material?" I said.

"Calypso told me one night she 'borrowed' Black Ice and flew to Dragon Island. I had taken her there earlier, after the battle, because she asked. She said her mother also told her stories of a far away island where a great dragon had fallen to a mad man named Drago Bludvist, who stole its egg. I supposed she found it and was able to gather enough supplies to make this" he said gesturing to his armor. She said she used parts from the Red Death's tail club and the Biwilderbeast tusks, along with making some leather.

I heard Tuffnut whisper to Ruffnut "It would have looked better with a cape, like maybe made with velvet or maybe silk."

"Ohh yeah" Ruffnut said in a sultry voice.

"Wait.. how did Calypso 'borrow' Black Ice?" I said. That dragon and him were inseparable.

"I was passed out from a cold. I caught it while flying Black Ice in a storm" he said shaking his head.

"That's amazing" Helga said walking up to him "I mean I knew she could sew. She made all of her own clothes herself.. but...this..."

"I can't say I approve of the use of dragon skin but it must be extremely strong and light." I said.

"This armor is both fire and ice resistant and the strongest leather I have ever seen. But look at you! Finally pulled out that suit you've been tinkering with forever!" Ironclad said gesturing to my armor.

"By Freya's sword little brother, you look war ready. I'm proud to fight by your side, not as siblings but as comrades in battle." Ora said walking up to him and placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Well now that you boys are done playing dress up, we have a deranged viking, a crazy dragon lady, and an armada to deal with" Ari said putting her hands on her hips.

"She's right. Dagur is going to be here soon, we need to prepare for the worst" I said.

"Actually...Dagur is closer than you think" Ironclad said "I flew to a small island... mine and Calypso's own private island. Its where I kept this armor and when I decided to go get it I saw Dagur's armada...he's close. We need to get up in the air now if we want to intercept him before he reaches Berk" Ironclad said.

"Everyone, you heard him lets saddle up!" I said and everyone rushed to hop on their dragons.

Ora walked up to me "I'll stay on the ground with Stoick and the villagers." she said.

"Okay, tell Stoick me and the other Riders will be up in the air. We'll try and keep most of the armada away from Berk but everyone needs to be ready to fight" i said.

Ora nodded "I'll protect your people Hiccup. And you worry about your Riders. Take care of my brother up there"

"I will" I said.

Ora then took off while I hopped on Toothless's back and pulled one of my swords out, igniting it.

"Today..we face a threat unlike any other. A madmen is threatening us and a whole village full of innocent lives. Today we will fight for the honor of being true dragon riders!" I said and the dragons roared in agreement as everyone cheered, holding up their weapons.

"Let's fly!" I yelled and everyone started to take off. I flew high on Toothless, looking back to check his new auto-tail. Everything seemed to be working well as I turned my attention back to the sky.

"Hey!" I heard Astrid call as she flew beside me.

"Well hello milday" I said saluting her. My helmet was up, showing my face as I smiled at her.

"You know Hiccup, you will be one of the best chiefs in history. Whether its with Berk or any other village, you will be one of the bests and you will be a wonderful husband." she said and blushed a bit.

"Thank you Astrid" I said.

"Its the truth. But be careful out their Hiccup. Dagur is going to be gunning for you if what you say is true. He wants Toothless and you under his control. So be careful" she said.

"When am I never not careful?" I said extending my arms.

"Do we really have time to go threw that entire list?" Astrid said raising her eyebrow.

I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Ready bud?" I said patting his side. Toothless growled in approval and I looked down to see the mass of ships heading towards us.

Dun dun dun! Cliffhanger!

Next time will be Dagur and Dahlia vs. Hiccup and the Riders and Berk!
