August had just threatened Gildarts with the intention of killing Agatha, which enraged him.

"You bastard," he growled. "If you even will a finger on my Agatha… I'll hurt you so bad that you'll be begging to die!"

"Stop!" Agatha yelled. "Don't be dumb, he's trying to provoke you!"

Gildarts wasn't listening as he charged at August at full speed and then swung his fist which August caught. He then tossed him onto the ground, but Gildarts recovered and step on his hand began performing spin kicks which he was able to block.

Gildarts then landed on his feet and then swung his prosthetic arm towards him, but instead of blocking it August dodged it by somersaulting backwards. He then spun his staff around and blasted him with a magical blast that sent him crashing into the rubble.

The blow was powerful, but Gildarts wasn't going to give up just yet.

"Are parents supposed to love their children? Is that the way that things are meant to be in this world?" said August as he prepared to fire another magical blast.

Gildarts then charged at him dodging his attacks. "Yeah, what kind of question is that?"

He then swung his fist at the same time August swung his staff and the two collided, the then began trading blow after blow tried to overpower the other. However, August was able to get beneath Gildart's guard and struck in with the butt of his staff right in the chest.

"If that is true…" he said and then fired a magical blast from the tip of his staff sending Gildarts backwards and seconds later there was a huge explosion. "Then why? Why was his Majesty child never shown love from his father?"

Gildarts was rather confused with this question, he was unaware that Drago had a child.

"Out of the way!" Agatha yelled as she jumped into the fray.

"Agatha stop!" Gildarts yelled.

"No, I can handle myself fine!" she yelled as he pulled out a series of cards. "I'm not a little girl, I'm a grown woman! So get out of the way!"

She then flung her cards directly at August, who then quickly somersaulted backwards to dodge the attacks.

"Agatha," said Gildarts as Agatha landed next to him.

Agatha looked at him. "Let it go already."

Gildarts smiled as he rose to his feet. "No can do, no matter what you're my little girl and I love you."

August to the two of them curiously. "Yet still his Majesty's child was never shown love."


Meanwhile Larcade was limping through the street, he still hadn't fully recovered with his battle with Sting, but he was determined to do one thing.

"Must protect the Emperor," he said weakly. "I must kill my father now or never."

In the Guildhall, Hiccup and Drago were still battling with one another challenge their magic for their weapons and began trading blows. Hiccup slammed his sword right down on top of Drago's bullhook and managed to break through his guard.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Hiccup yelled unleashing his breath attack right in front of Drago's face.

The attack was powerful enough to move Drago backwards, but he merely unleashed his magic to shield himself from the flames. Hiccup then took this opportunity to jump into the air and grasped both hands around his blade.

However, Drago quickly spun around and blocked it with his bullhook and then pushed him back. The two of them then charged one another and their weapons clashed and they narrowed their eyes at one another.

"Ragnar, Ruby, Toothless, are you at the Guildhall?" said Master Hiccup's voice in their heads.

"You hear that?" Ruby asked.

"It's the First Master," said Toothless.

Master Hiccup was rushing towards them as quickly as he could. "You need to leave this instant."

"What?" Ragnar stared.

"I'm approaching the Guildhall myself, I need you all to meet me nearby."

"But Hiccup is in trouble!" said Ruby.

Toothless nodded. "We can't just leave him."

"Have faith in Hiccup and in me as well, please."

The three of them looked one another, they didn't like the idea of abandoning Hiccup. On the other hand, there wasn't much they could do, Hiccup was the only one among them who stood any chance against Drago and they would only be in the way.

"Hurry!" Master Hiccup yelled. "This is for Hiccup's sake, his fate is in your hands."

"What you mean by that?" Ragnar asked.

"I promise I'll explain everything in person. There's a chance the enemies listening in on my telepathy."

"His fate is in our hands?" said Ruby.

Ragnar looked at them. "Let's go. If we stay here we'll only be in his way."

"He's right," Toothless agreed.

"Hiccup, don't you dare loose," said Ruby looking straight at him.

Hiccup then grabbed Drago's arm and then punched him with the hand holding his sword. Drago was sent flying, but he quickly recovered and landed on his feet.

"This is so much fun, Hiccup," Drago smiled.

Hiccup frowned. "Come again?"

"The states of this battle are unbelievably high, it'll decide the future of humanity."

Hiccup just stared at him. "What?"

"Yet, even so, I'm rather enjoying it. This curse of contradiction is quite strange, I can hardly make sense of my own feelings." He then began to laugh.

"I'm sick of hearing this from you," said Hiccup.

"Well, whatever happens, I'm enjoying this time immensely."

"You're completely insane," said Hiccup and then suddenly he felt extremely weak as if he was fighting the urge to sleep.

Drago was rather confused but then he saw entering the Guildhall was Larcade. "Go to sleep now."

Hiccup looked at him. "Where the hell did you come from?"

"Larcade you're here," said Drago looking surprised.

"Your Majesty, I made it in time," said Larcade.

Hiccup looked at him tried to fight the urge to fall asleep. "You smell just like me."

"Now this is your chance to kill my father," Larcade smiled. "Quick, you can finally be free from destiny's spell. May his spirit of pure light extend to the heavens and take flight!"

Drago didn't look pleased, in fact he looked furious. Drago then suddenly aimed his bullhook and fired a massive surge of magic, but not at Hiccup but at Larcade.

"You are not interfere in this!" Drago spat.


Meanwhile August was just looking up towards the sky.

"Why? Why was his Majesty's child not shown love?" he wondered.

"What your dear old man?" said Gildarts. "How can you get lost in thought in the middle of a fight? You're a cocky old geezer aren't you?"

Gildarts then jumped into the air. "I'm going to grab that beard and terror of your face!"

August quickly blocked his blow and pushed him back, but then Agatha jumped back in.

"Move it!" Agatha yelled as she tossed several cards in August.

However, just like before August somersaulted out of the way of avoiding them completely.

"Careful Agatha!" Gildarts warned as extended his hand.

August then suddenly began to disintegrate.

"Did that get him?" Agatha asked.

"Keep your guard up," said Gildarts knowing it wasn't going to be that easy.

Then suddenly August managed to reassemble himself and charge towards them striking the two of them with his staff. It was just a small graze but the attack still had enough power to send them flying.

Gildarts winced in pain. 'None of my spells seem to be working and even Dragon Sword didn't put a scratch on him.'

"You're pathetic fatherly love won't save you!" August yelled as he channelled magic into his staff thrust it towards Agatha.

"Agatha!" Gildarts cried.

Agatha closed her eyes, there was no way for her to avoid this attack. However, the attack never came in when she opened her eyes she discovered that Gildarts had intercepted the attack for her.

"Gildarts!" Agatha cried.

Gildarts smiled. "Hey, this is radically nothing compared to what Acnologia did to me. I'm fine."

Agatha had a real hard time believing that as he just been stabbed in the chest by August and the magic from his staff was consuming his body.

"You don't have to do this!" she cried.

"I'm doing exactly what I've got to do, because I'm your father. It's kinda funny, back in my younger days I only pretty much cared for myself." He then looked directly into August eyes. "But the moment she came into my life, my child was the only thing that mattered to me."

"If that was really true, then why did you run away?" Agatha frowned.

"I just thought it would be awkward to have your old man hanging around," he smiled back at her. "But I'm happy to stay with you forever never that what you want."

"That sounds freaking annoying."

Gildarts smiled. "I was right. The thing is when my kid needs help, I'll do whatever I got to do!" He then started making his way towards August plunging his staff further into his body. "And that means right now I'm going to have to take you to the grave with me!"

"No don't!" Agatha pleaded.

Gildarts roared as he kept on moving closer and closer towards August and if he was right in front of his face.

"Gildarts, please! Don't do it!" Agatha pleaded with tears in her eyes. "Please stop this! Dad no!"

August looked at him. "You fool."

"No you're wrong, I'm a loving father!" Gildarts yelled.


Meanwhile, in the Guildhall, Larcade was completely bewildered by Drago's attack.

"I don't understand, why did you do this?" Larcade cried.

Drago approached him and slammed his foot on his chest. "You interfered…"

"But you wanted me to kill my father," Larcade frowned in confusion.

Drago smirked. "You're merely another demon from the Book of Drago. One experiment out of countless others, though with the unique difference that I made you from strands of hair from both Hiccup Haddock and Astrid Hofferson. You came out rather well so I kept you around, that's all there is to it."

"But even so I still—"

"The only reason you got the upper hand on Hiccup because he was focused on me, you couldn't even defeat his ward so what need do I have of you? Not to mention you had the gall to interfere with my fight when I was finally enjoying myself." He then began kicking him around. "You're worthless! You're nothing but a failure!"

"That's enough!" Hiccup snapped.

Drago then looked back at him. "Now if I remember correctly we still have a fight to finish, Hiccup."

Larcade just laid there in tears.

Drago's physical body may have been contained on Cove Island, but he was still able to splinter himself which did weaken him significantly. In one of his attempts, he was utterly helpless, but he was found by a young woman and fell in love with her.

Sadly his curse caused her to become seriously ill and so he left and vowed never to fall in love again. However, unbeknownst to him their union had produced a child which happened to be August, but she died giving childbirth.

He had been born with so much magic power which inherited from his father that he was able to think back even when he was an infant. He was raised on the streets forcing to steal to survive, but then someone saved his life it was his father.

Gildarts looked at August. "Well, you ready?"

"No matter what type of magic you try, there's nothing you can do to defeat me," said August.

"Afraid you're wrong, you old geezer," Gildarts smiled. "There's just a trick to it."

August eyes widened. "What?"

"Dad, you can't!" Agatha cried.

"I think all you're doing is copying spells," said Gildarts. "That's how you're able to neutralise pretty much any kind of magic that is thrown at you."

August's eyes widened. 'Impossible! How could you figured it out so quickly?'

Gildarts looked him directly in the eyes. "So tell me… If you can block even my most powerful spells not to mention Dragon Sword why would you need to dodge Agatha's cards? Because there is magic you can't block, that hold a Holder type of magic."

August was so shocked that his grip around his staff weakened allowing Gildarts to snatch it from him and pull it out of his body. "It makes sense to me, it a lot like how Ruby needs her keys in order to summon her Celestial Spirits right?" He then snapped August's staff in two. "You can't copy magic that relies on tools."

"I knew there had to be something," said Agatha as he drew a series of cards and then tossed them right at August. "So quit all that taking you to hell crap you've been saying would you?"

August was unable to dodge this attack and it had severely weakened him. One card landed on top of Gildart's head with the word 'love' on it.

"I'm not going to die, I would never see another smile my sweet girl's face," said Gildarts. Gildarts clenched his prosthetic and began channelling magic into it. "So whatever magic I sent out of this prosthetic arm you can't copy!"

August just stood there as Gildarts charged at him. "Purifying Truth! Absolute Heaven!"

He then struck August with all the strength he had and he was consumed by a huge surge of magic.

August had never told Drago that he was his son as it didn't seem to matter. On that day he started working with his father and together the two of them built a country together. Naturally time his father had to give him a name and so he named after the month that he met his mother and he reminded him of her.

'Why did his Majesty never showed love for his child? It was because… because he didn't know he had one.'
