God Serena extended his hand towards Wade ready to finish him off once and for all.

'Sorry, Hiccup, this is farewell,' said Wade. 'However, as one of the founders of Dragon Tail, it is not in my nature to go down quietly. I will fight to the end!'

Suddenly finds shot out from the ground beneath Serena throwing him into the air and Wade got to his feet.

"God Serena, I'm taking you with me!" Wade yelled.

Wolfheim then jumped to his feet and transformed into his beast form and charged at the entrapped Serena. He jumped into the air and then punched him as hard as he could smashing right through the vines. Jura was also on his feet and began waving his hands and columns of stone fists shot out from the ground striking Serena.

"I see, you're not as weak as I thought," he said.

He then suddenly discovered his body was unable to move now as Draculos joined up with his fellow Emperors and used his own magic.

"Draculos!" Serena roared as he fell to the ground.

"Nice," said Grimmel.

"Vampire Magic, without any contact," said August. "It would seem as if he has earned his stature."

"As I suspected, your pilasters succeed your abilities, God Serena," said Draculos.

Serena was unable to move a muscle and Grimmel was about to join in to assist him. However, August raised his staff and stopped him.

"No need to get involved, just remained contempt and stand back and watch," said August. "This will be a delight."

Serena smiled and then suddenly the ground around him erupted. "All right! Cavern Dragon's Earth Collapse!"

The ground beneath Draculos then began to crumble, his magic was only able to prevent Serena from moving it to prevent him from using his magic. This attack through every single one of the Emperors, apart from Jura backwards.

"What is this?" said Jura. "Earth Dragon Slayer Magic?"

"There's more," said August.

Serena raised his right hand and flames began to form around it. "Purgatorial Dragon's Blazing Inferno!"

He then unleashed a powerful burst of flames that would put Hiccup to shame. He then raised his left arm and water began to surround it as he clenched his fist.

"Sea King Dragon's Water Vortex!"

"Fire and water?" said Jura as he was being blown away by these attacks.

Serena then raised both hands and wind began to surround his palms. "I've got Tempest Dragon magic too!

"More elements?" Jura stared.

August and slammed his staff on the ground. "You've done enough, God Serena."

Instantly Serena stopped his attack and saw that all four Emperors were now flat on the ground once again.

"Whoops," he said as he smiled sadistically. "Looks like I had to much fun."

"Seeing him in action was a delight indeed," said Grimmel. "A Dragon Slayer with nine dragon lacrimas puts on one hell of a show."

"The hybrid theory personified, he is a man favoured by the God of Dragons," said August.

"There aren't any gods and kings when it comes to dragons," Serena sneered. "How could there be when none can even compare to my power!"

"With those for bested, let us continue onward to Dragon Tail," said August.

Wade watched helplessly as the three of them continue to make their way west.

'Destroy everything, leaving only death in their wake,' he said. 'But who can stop them?'

Suddenly their eyes widened as they saw someone in a dark cape approaching them. They had no idea who he was but his mere presence was enough to give them pause.

"What is this insane presence? This power?" said Wade.

"Who is that approaching?" Draculos asked.

"I smell the putrid scent of a dragon," said the mysterious man.

August immediately knew who this man was. "Acnologia…"

Serena then smiled. "So you've come to me, aren't I lucky. I left Septem behind with the dream of killing you so—"

He never got to finish his sentence, because Acnologia moved faster than the eye could see. A second later he shot past Serena, his arm going right through his chest and his lifeless body fell to the ground. Acnologia didn't even look back and continue to walk.

"Only eight more dragons remaining, I will slay them all," he vowed.

"That's him? That's Acnologia?" Grimmel growled.

"Calm down!" said August firmly. "You'd be dead before you hit the ground, perhaps his Majesty could defeat him once he acquires the Dragon Heart. Let us make haste to Dragon Tail so we may help secure his extraordinary prize."

Meanwhile the Dragon tail Guildhall, Ruby was sitting beside Hiccup's bed.

Fenris then joined her. "How's his condition?"

"Can't tell, he has woken up yet," she said and then she looked up at him. "Have you checked up on Dogsbreath and Rubbella?"

"Yes, their feeling much better."

"I'm happy to hear it."

"If anyone is curious, I should recover to," Olatrand croaked.

"Do you happen to know where Alvin is?" Fenris asked.

"I think he left town with Astrid's team, they're going to liberate the Shivering Shores. Ragnar and Merrill went with them."

"I see. I hope he's not reckless."

"And how likely is that?" Ruby smiled.

"Touché… caution, not his style."

"A man, who dives headlong into danger," said Olatrand quietly.

Meanwhile, Astrid's team was taking a break in the woods after marching practically all day.

"We'll reach the Shivering Shores by morning," said Astrid as she took a bite out of an apple. "So get all the rest you can tonight."

"Okay," Merrill nodded.

"And you would be wise to take your own advice," Stormfly advised. "Merrill has better things to do than play nurse."

"Feels like I haven't seen Alvin in a while," Merrill noted.

"Earlier he said that he was hungry and he ambled towards the words," said Stormfly.

"I wouldn't be surprised my old man would try to eat a bear," Ragnar sighed.

Alvin was, in fact, sitting alone and he appeared to be in great pain.

"When did it start?" said a voice behind him.

Alvin sighed knowing that it was Ragnar behind him. "It's none of your business."

"I'm asking you as your son," said Ragnar. "I'm betting a year ago, right when you got a double lung full of baneparticles? Sound about right?"

A year ago, Alvin tussled with a member of Helheim a demon named Tempester, who was practically a walking natural disaster. He did win the fight in the end, but before he died he attempted to kill everyone in the city by unleashing baneparticles.

In order to save his team and the city, Alvin absorbed as much is the baneparticles as he could. Sadly his attempt failed in protecting the entire city and ever since then he had been suffering intense pain. He had been keeping it hidden for a year, not even the Thunder Legion realised his condition but there was only so much as the body could take.

"Not one word," he warned.

Ragnar held up his hands. "Okay, okay this is between us."

"It's nothing, it just bothers me every once in a while don't worry about it."

Ragnar knew he was lying, he knew he should tell Astrid something that they news every heavy hitter they could get. Gildarts was who knows where and Hiccup went off to challenge Drago which left only Alvin.

"I'm going to protect the Guild, up until the battle is over," he said and lightning flared all around them. "Even if it kills me."

Valka and her team had also camped for the night, but Eret and Valka were the only ones not asleep.

"You can sleep either?" said Valka as she approached Eret, who was sitting on a nearby cliff.

"Must be contagious," he smiled.

Valka just looked on. "Every single challenge we faced has brought us to this point, the next few days might decide the fate of every living thing on the planet."

"No pressure or anything," said Eret.

"I'm just being practical, I very much doubt that all of us will come out of this in one piece. We have said countless times, but this enemy is unlike anything we've encountered before."

Eret rose to his feet and looked at her. "We can't doubt ourselves, you should know that more than anyone. You never gave up hope on seeing your family again, even despite knowing that you were in a parallel universe."

"I suppose you're right," Valka smiled.

At the Shivering Shores, the sun began to rise and day two of the battle commenced. The Alvarez army advanced against the Allied forces, who immediately engage them.

"Today we will take back the Shivering Shores! Drive them out!" Camicazi commanded.

Griselda merely smiled. "I rattled her yesterday, but look at her now all fired up. Still, though, I think I'll play with someone else today."

Shanyla engaged with a bunch of soldiers. "Now Sea God Njord!"

The soldiers were then blown away by a powerful wave of black water.

"Who's that little shrimp?" a soldier asked.

"She's pretty tough."

Shanyla land on the ground and faced the soldiers. "Sea God—"

However before she could unleash the next attack, supping slice through her shirt and when she looked up she saw Griselda standing in front of her with sword in hand.

"I'm claiming this little one for myself," she said.

Shanyla quickly covered herself up. "No, please! Don't do this!"

"You're just getting me more excited, you want me to do to you what I did to your friend? Too bad because today is going to be different. Let's see, you're a healer, right? Well, that means that I can't let you live."

She then immediately charged at her raising her sword, but then Merrill appeared out of nowhere in her Dragon Force form and kicked Griselda in the face.

"Merrill, it's you!" Shanyla smiled.

"Sorry I got here late," she said as she reverted back to normal. "But the Sea Sisters are back in action!"

'That brat kicked me in the face,' Griselda snarled as she picked herself up.

Lyon was attacking a massive battalion of soldiers.

"Ice-Make: Eagle!" he yelled placing his hands together and unleashed a barrage of ice eagles at the enemy soldiers. He took down a good chunk, but many more were still advancing towards him. "If I can pull that off a couple of thousand more times we're good."

"Lyon!" a voice yelled.

Lyon then watched as both Ragnar and Heather raced past him towards the enemy soldiers.

"We're heading for the front line!" Ragnar yelled.

"Let's send them back home!" said Heather.

"Heather? And Ragnar?" Lyon stared.

The two of them then immediately jumped into action using a burst of ice and water they were able to dispel the soldiers.

"It's now or never, guys! This is our chance!" Heather yelled.

Lyon just stared at her dreamily. 'Wow, she's practically glowing.' He then immediately turn towards Ragnar. "What are you doing here?"

"This was our battle from the start," said Astrid as she entered the fray blowing away with soldiers with her battleaxe. "We never expected another Guild to butt in, but here you are. So, thank you."

Camicazi looked at her. "Astrid…"

"Have to get moving," she said looking at her.

"Right," she nodded.

Wall was observing the battle from afar within the town and he could tell that everyone was going all out.

"Wow, so Dragon Tail actually decided to bring the fight to us," he said.

Then suddenly from completely out of nowhere Alvin appeared directly behind him and struck him with this deal with lightning. It was so powerful that he was sent right through the building he was standing on.

"You're the one who messed with the Thunder Legion?" Alvin growled furiously.

Wall grabbed his arm and began channelling the lightning flowing through his body into his body and then his right hand began to glow.

"Never heard of them," he said as he swung his fist.

Alvin, however, proved to be too fast and struck him first right in the face with so much force that he was sent flying across the town.

"They're my friends you freak!" Alvin roared.

Wall rolled across the ground but he managed to regain his footing and faced Alvin.

"Alkalising copper and zinc, 9 mm rounds! Fire!" he yelled as he fired a barrage of bullets at Alvin.

However, Alvin's electrical field shielded him turning the bullets into dust and then he unleashed a powerful burst of lightning. So powerful that it could be seen from the battlefield.

"That lightning?" Lyon asked.

"We get that kind of weather back at Berk," Ragnar smiled. "Sonny with a chance of Alvin…" He then immediately spun around and froze several soldiers in their place. "…with plenty of ice in the forecast!"

Wall had managed to survive Alvin's attack, though he was surprised about the amount of power he was putting out.

"Not bad guy," he said as he picked himself up. "What makes you tick? A quick analysis." His eyes then began glowing indicating that he was standing Alvin's body then he looked at him confused. "Your organs are in quite a state."

Alvin now owed his eyes and rushed towards him and Wall transformed his left arm and swung it at the same time as Alvin. The two attacks collided creating a massive shockwave causing electricity to fly around the street.

"What you're secret?" Wall asked. "I honestly want to know how you're alive, I mean you actually human?"

"It's not how I'm alive…" he said and then punched Wall in the face with his free arm. "…it's how I live!"

"So profound, you people really enjoy showing off your pity wordplay don't you?" he said as he picked himself up. "And for your information lightning doesn't work on me."

His right and then immediately transformed and with that he struck Alvin across the face sending him flying into a building.

"So the conversation needs to shift to how you die," he smirked.

On the outskirts of the town, the battle was still raging and Astrid and Camicazi were cutting a path.

"Astrid this way!" Camicazi yelled.

"But what about all the enemies here?" Astrid asked.

"My guildmates can handle them. We have to get to the port."

"What's the situation?" Astrid asked as they rushed towards the town.

"Two of the Twelve are in town, the sword woman and the machias alchemist. But there's one more who has not left the ship, it's up to the two of us to dispose of them."

"Right," Astrid nodded.

Meanwhile, Merrill had just arrived in time to help Shanyla.

"You're underdressed for the battlefield," said Stormfly approaching Shanyla in her human form. She then handed her Merrill's jacket. "Here… Merrill's jacket should fit you."

"I appreciated, thank you," she smiled as she put the jacket on, but had difficulty doing up the buttons much to Merrill's embarrassment. "Wow, it's really tight."

"I'm sorry little girls, but do you realise where we are?" Griselda smiled.

"Careful Merrill, I can't quite figure out what kind of magic she uses," Shanyla warned her.

Merrill nodded.

"At least the one with the tail knows that it is a battlefield, not a playground," said Griselda.

"The Shivering Shores used to be a place where children could play until you got here!" Merrill snapped. "We're going to make you leave so the people here can live at peace!"

"I don't care if your kids, I shall mercy to know one. The truth is I can kill you in a blink of an eye, you wouldn't even know what hit you."

"Get ready girls," Stormfly warned.

Immediately the three of them took up fighting stances.

"A split second could last an eternity," said Griselda.

Alvin was still battling against Wall and he was proving to be quite the opponent. They were now fighting rooftops and he had just been pushed back. Wall then jumped into the air and punched him as hard as he could sending him across this town.

Alvin then jumped into the sky with lightning covering his body, he then came crashing down on top of Wall smashing him for a house.

"Analysis complete," said Wall as he hit the wooden floor. "His innards are swimming with baneparticles, but his magic power level is one of the highest in Dragon Tail. I can't maintain the upper hand and my current prankster personality setting… so I'll set my program to coldhearted."

His entire body then began to glow. "Enhance exoskeleton assault mode… designating Alvin target… locked on… magic fusion reactor ignited… estimated time to complete target elimination… 90 seconds."

Alvin then saw him firing magic bullet towards him, he shifted his body just in time but it grazed his shoulder. He then watched as the magic bullet flew into the sky and then exploded and it was so powerful that it lit the entire sky.

"What now?" said Astrid.

"The sky is on fire?" Camicazi stared.

Wall had now completely transformed and his personality was much different than his previous one.

"Recalibrating…" he said. Alvin then suddenly felt a massive surge of pain, it felt as if his insides were doing a square dance which was not good considering that Wall had just gotten way stronger. "…Attack Mode. Now engaged."

'Dammit,' Alvin cursed. 'Got a fight through the pain!''

Wall then suddenly took off, his new look apparently came with some jet boosters. He then punched Alvin the stomach and they flew up into the air. Miniature rockets then extended out of his right hand and then it took off like a rocket sending Alvin high into the sky.

"Enemy survival confirmed, activating pursuit system," said Wall. "Generating Missiles… fire!"

He then fired a barrage of missiles aiming directly at Alvin causing a series of explosions.

"Anti-Matter Laser," said Wall as his left arm transformed into a laser cannon and then he fired a powerful being directly at Alvin. "Survival confirmed, generating high Voltage Cannon!" He then formed a massive railgun on his back and immediately fired an electrical blast at him.

Alvin, however, absorbed his attack and immediately charged towards him.

"Oh no, electrical attacks only feed his magic power," said Wall realising his mistake. Alvin swung an electrical covered fist at him, but it had no effect on Wall as he flew away from him. "But they have no effect on me at all!"

He then rained down magical bullets, but Alvin dodged the mauling dealt a powerful kick sending him flying across the town.

"System error… exceeded time for completing eliminations," he said. "System error… damn this pest."

Alvin walked out of the smoke, but then he fell to his knees clutching his chest in pain and spat out some blood. His illness had finally caught up with him at the worst possible time, he was dying from the inside out.
