Everyone was celebrating as Berk had returned to normal along with the rest of the continent.

"It's Berk!"

"Yes, finally!"

"We've got our turf back!"

The remaining forces of Alvarez immediately charge towards them, though they no longer had the advantage of fighting them on an open field.

"The fight is still on!"

"We've got to send these guys packing!"

"First Master, how should we handle this?"

"You know the town's layout, get somewhere easy to defend but keep your eyes open for the next wave coming," Master Hiccup instructed.

Alvin had placed Stoick's body in a cart and then looked towards the Guildhall.

He then looked at Stoick's body. "We're almost there my friend, I promise I'll get you home. Dragon Tail is waiting then you can rest."


Near the park, Adelaide was still battling against Grimmel and she was quite exhausted.

"Well, looks like the town's back," she said.

Grimmel was also worn out and kept his eyes firmly shut. "Irene fell?"

Adelaide blinked. "Our side took down another one of the Twelve?"

"You won't best meet tramp," he said and then vanished and then helped at her with a series of blows.

As I wasn't sure what quite happened next, but she suspected that he lost his footing slightly and ended up slamming against the trunk of the nearby tree.

"I still need to get used to the new bloodied landscape," he grunted. He then vanished once more and began pelting Adelaide once more with his blows. "I'm starting to get my bearings a bit!" Adelaide then fell to her knees and Grimmel reappeared in front of her. "There even with my eyes nice and tight, I can still suss out exactly where you are."

"I'm running low on magic power, got a make discount," she said and began using her Take-Over Magic.

Grimmel felt the surge of magic. "What was that just now? I've got to see what's happening."

He then spun around and opened his eyes, but instantly shut then when he saw that Adelaide was now standing there in her Demon Soul.

"Bloody hell, even more indecent!" he yelled.

"Why don't you try keeping your eyes open for this one?" Adelaide suggested.

"I'm not falling for your tricks."

"Then I hope you have said your prayers."

"That's rich coming from a demon. And besides, you're the one that needs a miracle."

"Do I?"

Grimmel then vanished and then began making his silent approach towards Adelaide, but she sensed his presence somehow. She then spun around and then channelled everything she had into a single punch and then he suddenly reappeared directly in front of her and then fell.

Adelaide was panting heavily, she had just used up the last of her power and then reverted to her normal form.

"She beat me," Grimmel groaned before falling unconscious.

"That was so weird," Adelaide panted. "Why did keep his eyes close the entire time? Oh well, his loss, he might have had a shot if he kept them open."


Chaghatai was still battling against Snotlout and Spitelout and had just unleashed a mighty sandstorm.

"Now dry up and whether way!" he yelled.

"He's our chance boyo," said Spitelout.

"Let's show him what we Jorgensons are capable of!" Snotlout yelled.

The two of them then punched Chaghatai with everything they had breaking through his sandstorm and he fell to the ground.

"Did that work?" Snotlout blinked.

"Two against one and we barely held our own," said Spitelout.

"No way," Chaghatai groaned. "I'm still not done."

Then suddenly placing himself between them was Yale, Drago's Chancellor. "Chaghatai, stop all this foolishness."

"Father?" Chaghatai stared.

"Father?" Spitelout blinked.

"They're related?" said Snotlout.

"Far too many people have lost their precious loved ones on both sides of this conflict," said Yale. "We can't lose more lives."

"Don't you realise this is what happens in every damn war?" Snotlout questioned.

Chaghatai looked up confused. "Is that true?"

"You never thought about it before, because you always won," said Spitelout folding his arms. "But everyone you've defeated, they have lost people they love dearly."

"Please, on my life I beg of you, spare him," Yale pleaded. "Let me keep my son."

"Stop it," said Chaghatai as he attempted to rise. "You're making us look ridiculously weak!"

"You don't have to beg," said Snotlout.

"Yeah, my son and I aren't the types who would ever kill somebody in a fight," said Spitelout.

Chaghatai stared at them. "Wait, what? You guys are family too?"

"You could say the entire Guild is like a big family," said Snotlout.

"To be honest I would never have guessed you two will related," said Spitelout.

"You should have seen me in my younger days, I looked just like him," said Yale.

"So that means he's going to look like you someday?" Snotlout teased.

"Shut up!" Chaghatai yelled.


Hiccup, Ruby and Toothless then stepped outside of Ruby's apartment.

"I'm so happy to be back at regular Berk, but what happened everyone who was just with us," said Ruby.

Toothless nodded. "Where are Stormfly, Heather, Gothi and Rubella?"

"Don't forget about us," said Brandish standing there with a miniaturised Griselda in her hand.

"You're here too?" Ruby blinked.

Griselda was still shaking and shook even more as Hiccup bent down towards her.

"Can't quite recall, but I think I did something and I'm sorry for whatever it was," said Hiccup.

Griselda didn't appear to be listening. "Get away from me you monster!"

"Hey, the only reason I went nuts was because I for you killed Ruby."

"Please save me, Randy!" Griselda pleaded.

Brandish then walked off. "Well, we should be off."

"Where are you going?" Ruby asked.

"It's not like I'm going to go back fighting against you so don't worry," Brandish assured her. "But I'm not going to join you guys either."

"I get it," Ruby nodded. "Maybe we can meet again!"

"Sounds like a pain," she said, but she still had a smile on her face regardless.

"Hey, guys!" Rubbella yelled as she, Stormfly and Gothi made their way towards them. Rubbella was carrying Heather on her back.

"Great to see you all right," said Hiccup.

"We were worried," said Ruby.

"Stormfly!" Toothless yelled.

"We looked everywhere, but Ragnar is nowhere to be found," said Stormfly. "It's like he just vanished."

"Honestly he should even be moving around in his condition, it's suicidal," said Gothi.

"He woke up right before we saw that weird light," said Rubbella.

"Seriously?" Ruby stared.

Hiccup had a strong feeling he knew where Ragnar went.

However that moment everyone felt a massive surge of magic the likes of which they've never felt before.

"What's that sound?" said Toothless.

"Look there!" Stormfly pointed.

Hiccup recognised this magic in his eyes turned towards the temple and there standing on top of it was August.

"Somebody is on the temple," said Hiccup.

It felt as if August was ripping the ground apart in the sky began to darken.

"Who's that?"

"It would seem as if I'm the last member of the Twelve still fighting," said August as he looked down upon everyone. "Hear me, children of Alvarez, proud members of the Twelve, the time has come to offer his Majesty your spirits your flesh!"

"His magic power is incredible," said Master Hiccup.

"That's insane, it's like the air is trembling," said Alvin.

Brandish was still walking down the street remembering Ruby's last words to her.

"Won't happen," she said. "Not after we've angered the Calamity."

"I'm a child of his Majesty and that I shall cleanse the enemy with your very souls!" August yelled.

"We're going to die!"

"He'll wipe out the whole town!"

"He's willing to kill his allies with us?" Alvin stared.

"I don't think he cares about collateral damage the lungs were gone," said Valka.

"Everybody run!" Master Hiccup ordered.

Then falling from the sky completely out of nowhere was Gildarts and he swung his fist down upon August. August quickly blocked his attack with his staff, but the attack had so much force into it that it demolished the entire temple and preventing him from unleashing his spell.

"Oops, guess I wrecked the temple didn't I time?" Gildart smiled.

Upon seen Gildarts, everyone immediately cheered.

"All right!"

"It's Gildarts!"

"Oh yeah!"

When they struck the ground August quickly jumped into the air and began swinging his staff around to hit Gildarts. He managed to dodge the swings and then blocked one with his left forearm.

"I can handle this one you guys," said Gildarts looking at everyone.

Hiccup smiled and then looked at Ruby and Toothless. "Let's go, we've got to get to Drago."

"Let's do it," said Toothless.

"Shouldn't we help them look for Ragnar?" Ruby asked.

"Nah, I'm pretty sure that I know where he is," said Hiccup.

Ruby just stared at him blankly.


Ragnar had reached the Guildhall where Drago was sitting down at one of the tables. Ragnar himself was still recovering from both his clashes with Krogan and Hiccup and was leaning against the wall to prop himself up.

"Knowing my wildest dreams would I imagined you of all people will be the first one here," said Drago. "I half expected it to be Jellal or perhaps your father Alvin, to be perfectly honest this is quite a shame."

"I think it's way past time that you leave," said Ragnar. "Plus I hate it when someone else sits in my seat."

"You put yourself in a situation that would cause Hiccup the most grief."


Hiccup, Ruby and Toothless were making their way to the Guildhall as quickly as they could.

"I have a feeling that Ragnar is with Drago now," said Hiccup.


Both Drago and Ragnar were standing face-to-face with one another.

"Your name is Ragnar and you're Hiccup's best friend," said Drago. "Your mother was killed by Deliora, a Demon that I created, and then several years later your master fell to him as well. I'm sure you must have a burning hatred for me."

"Shocking, you know about people that mean absolutely nothing to you," said Ragnar still clutching his side.

"It is basic strategy, knowing one's enemy is crucial. There's Ruby Heartfull the descendant of the first Celestial Viking, who as fate would have it was a friend of your first guild master, she's bright optimistic much like ancestor. Then, of course, there is Hiccup's partner Toothless, the bond of trust they share is nigh on unbreakable. I can't leave out Astrid, the woman he loves or his ward Merrill and his main rival Eret. I've done the best I can to learn everything about every key player."

"And for some reason finding any real information on you is practically impossible for us."

"I imagine that is the case."

"How about you start by telling me what you're after," Ragnar demanded.

"Surely you should know that much by now, I wonder have your first Guild Master's magic power for myself and you in your Guild want to protect him. Therein lies our conflict."

"But if you have an army at your command, not to mention in mortality why would you go through all this trouble to take his power as well?" Ragnar questioned.

"Because I needed to defeat Acnologia," he said much to Ragnar's surprise. "Wind you agree that a cause worth assisting."

"That's nothing but a load of crap!" Ragnar spat.

"You're wrong, I haven't told you a single lie. I am resolute in my goal to take down Acnologia once and for all. However, my ultimate ambition is to achieve something far more significant than that."


Gothi and the others were running to a safe location to drop off Heather as well as trying to locate Ragnar. They had just filled August's magic power, but about a minute later it had vanished.

"That magic power, I wonder what it was?" Stormfly wondered.

"I think Gildarts must be fighting somewhere," said Rubbella.

"We need to find the First Master and our allies," said Gothi.


Master Hiccup and everyone was watching as August and Gildarts clashed.

"He's fighting against the Viking King," said Master Hiccup.

"We should get out of here," Alvin suggested.

Valka nodded in agreement. "Gildarts can handle him on his own."

"You're right, we'll leave it up to him," Hiccup nodded. "It's time to go."

Gildarts and August were battling in the centre of the ruins of the temple.

"I've got to say, you're the first worthwhile opponent I've had a long time," said Gildarts. "People call you the Calamity or Viking King. So I'm sure that you can keep me entertained."

"You're quite loquacious, obviously stemming from a flatted belief in your abilities," said August. "What a joke."

"How about a punchline?" said Gildarts as he removed his cape.

He then shot forwards and began dancing around August looking for an opening, but no matter how fast he moved August kept his eyes on him. He then began swinging his fists and kicks while August blocked and counter-attacked with his staff.

Gildarts managed to get behind him. "Right here!"

He then unleashed a shattering spell towards August and he began to break apart.

"Well done," said August's voice as he reassembled himself. "I find this kind of magic fascinating."

He then broke himself apart and his components floated towards Gildarts.

"You've got to be kidding!" Gildarts stared.

August then reassembled himself and then punched him hard in the chest, knocking him backwards and he crashed into the rubble.

"My Cross Magic didn't work?" Gildarts groaned. "No, it did, but he used it against me."

"Now sink," said August as he raised his hand.

Suddenly the ground beneath Gildart's feet began to liquidate and he found himself sinking. He quickly countered this by slamming his palm into the ground causing the ground to shatter.

"Ripped to shreds!" August yelled extending his hand once more.

Gildarts then found himself been slammed by a powerful vortex of wind which began cutting into him. However, he managed to break free and launched himself into the air until he was directly over August.

"Try this!" he yelled.

"Blast," said August.

Suddenly a series of explosions erupted right in front of Gildarts and he fell right back down onto the rubble once more. However, he quickly recovered and shattered the ground beneath him and began to tunnel through it until and then launched himself so that he found himself in front of August and swung his fist. August then quickly raised his hand and the two magics began to clash though it appeared to be a tie. Gildarts attempted to take the advantage while August was still off-balance and swung his prosthetic arm towards him, but he merely disassembled himself to avoid the attack.

"You should have realised…" said August as he reappeared behind him and struck him with a magical blast. "…it's impossible for someone like you to defeat me."

Then suddenly heading straight towards him were series of cards and he quickly jumped out of the way to avoid them.

Gildarts looked up and saw standing on top of the rubble was Agatha. "My old man has a real gift for making the impossible possible."

"Please don't, Agatha! You need to get away from here!" Gildarts yelled at her.

"I think you mean, 'Thanks, Agatha!' You get beat."

"I see now," said August smiling and a massive amount of power spread through his entire body. "Yes, a father and daughter."


Meanwhile, at the Guildhall, Ragnar was still confronting Drago, who had just revealed to him his plan.

"No way," said Ragnar in disbelief.

"You're the first person I ever told about my plan none of my fateful Twelve have any idea," said Drago. "Master Hiccup's magic power, aka the Dragon Heart, has the potential to make it happen."

"You're serious about all this? There's no way in hell that's possible, not even for you!"

"Care to hazard a guess to why you're the first person I told?" Ragnar had a faint idea. "Hiccup is on his way here and when he arrives you'll be dead on the floor. Rushing to save his dear friend only to discover a corpse, the grief that overcomes him will be soon supplanted by anger this will allow me my final chance to fight against Hiccup with all he's got. Your death will be the key to unlocking his full strength and setting my plan in motion."

"That's not going to happen, by the time he gets here you're going to be long gone!" Ragnar yelled defiantly.

"How delusional, as you said I'm immortal it's just not possible to end my life. Besides, even if you did somehow figure out a way to kill me it would mean that your friend Hiccup…"

"I know," said Ragnar.

Drago looked surprised. "Oh? I'm surprised, you already knew that I linked his soul with Dragrach and performed a body link spell with that particular demon."

"No matter what you did to him he still Hiccup," said Ragnar as he clenched his fist. "For a long time I was looking someone to pay for my mother and Ur's deaths. Dragrach was perfect, a faceless enemy, but then everything changed when I found out that you had merged that demon with Hiccup. I decided that his life was more important to me, I don't care what he is because he still my best friend no matter what."

"Whether it is you or I that dies here today, it won't make any difference you'll still lose him," Drago reminded him.

"You know I'm not gonna let that happen," said Ragnar as he took up a stance and a cold wind filled the room. "Which is why I am taking you down myself."

"I thought you understood the states if I die Hiccup dies as well," Drago reminded him.

"I happen to have a way to beat you without killing you!" Ragnar yelled as he crossed his arms in front of him. "Iced Shell!"

Drago's eyes widened realising what he was doing. "You fool! The cost of that spell your own life!"

"Time after time people have sacrificed their lives for mine, that means it's not only my life I'm putting on a line like now! So I'm not dying an easy death, I owe them more than that!"

Drago then realise that this was not a normal Ice Shell spell. "No, this magic power… this is the lost spell!"

"That's right, I don't care if anyone remembers me. I'm willing to erase my entire existence if that what it takes to save their lives. So I'm converting my life and every trace of me into magic power! I'm going to cast Lost Ice Shell!"
