Savage and his Dragon Hunters will be the main force behind here in this region of the Berkian Territories, he will not succeed in the plans that the Matron has planned for their home and it's about time Dagur as well as Speedy got involved in this uprising. Enjoy)
Returning to his home island after confronting Ryker Grimborn at the prison where he broke out from, he found not only his half-brother and friend waiting for his return but also his father that he had not seen too often after being absent for a long time; now here he was with him and he just couldn't help but run up to his father, wrapping his arms around him. As soon as he felt like he was ready to let go and depart from the man he hasn't seen in awhile, he did just that and as his father returned the favor; he decided to introduce him to his Bravo team with familiar and new faces to see. "Lanceaurdian finally showed up for once and Frynir gave him the earful for not coming when we needed him" Mikekolt explained as he looked over to the Nadder, who was preening his wing
"She was misunderstood and bitter because of her family, more lives for us to take from our attackers then; now I see the reason that you've done my son no wrong Frynir. I had my own suspicions that something was not right and you've shown me the reason behind this violent way of acting towards him, if you wanted to show him; never hesitate to approach him as he's been curious about your case since then" Roachkolt turned to face her, with Frynir nodding as Axethor stepped in as he wanted to make amends with his friend
"You were right from the beginning: I can't protect my home by myself every second of the day that passes, I'm going back to the School of Dragons; I cannot train my own Alpha team at all to defend our home. Drayko's going to be pissed when he hears from me" Axethor mounted onto Vulcanus before taking off back to the School
"Looks to me I'm going to need to begin my real second sword and then I'll be fully armed with an arsenal to the bone, Breyerkolt can tell you about my new equipment I got and some of them were created by me like those spherical projectiles on the back of my belt; go ahead and tell him before our mother gets home" Mikekolt gave his weapons and equipment to his half-brother to show to their father while he went to the blacksmith to forge his new sword
Breyerkolt returned to their house as he began to tell him about each and every one of his half-brother's arsenal of weapons. His original sword that was given to him as a gift to fight with after his gauntlet was broken beating the living fuck out of him. His Phoenixripper as he's told him that they were working on the flaming sword together. His crossbow that he's used as one of his three projectile weapons. Tiburonkolt's Tomahawk which apparently was used by their ancestor and was most frequently used by him since he's trained alot with it. His tusked shield which he built after he was taken and used it for both offense and defense according to him. His Deathgripper Venom arrows that he rarely uses with doses that can give control over everyone to him as the venom itself can't kill anyone. His Projectile Axes that he uses as one of his three projectile weapons for taking someone out whose situated on top of a higher ledge than him. His Deathgripper Acid Flare/Volcanripper Napalm Bombs that were thrown and explosive on impact. His Knife that was long enough to be used like an backup sword and his Gauntlet of Frynir that made him use lightning for each bone crunching punch
Roachkolt especially checked out the Deathgripper Acid Flare/Volcanripper Napalm Bombs as he took notice to how they were all designed similiar to that of an jack-o-lantern but that's an trait of his son since he loves Dreadfall. The fang shaped cracks of these spherical bombs as it should be mentioned had some diagonally downward cuts with the seamless diamond plates having a smooth surface bolt near the top, while the plates themselves also had a similiar cut downwards before going horizontal; with a small portion protruding out before going back to the original pattern. Next thing he knows, his son will be hijacking a weapon from the land at the northwest of Valka's Sanctuary; it'll at least be a glider of sorts that he'll be taking and it's going to act like an last resort if any of his Dragons are captured, but what the odds of that in the process of having to rescue them? His son's strong and he trusts them more than he loves them all, so if he's forced to use an flying glider board then he'll do whatever it takes him to get them all back just like that. He's been to Mierveia Vde Rallie so he should know what he's thinking about
After a short while he soon returned to the household with his new sword wrapped in cloth, it was ready for combat and this was one hell of a sword that he was going to use more often in conjunction like he did previously with his former one. He removed the cloth and held the blade in his hands as he also worked on making sword sheathes for his back:
Mikekolt's true second sword incorporated all of his traits as well as his Bravo Resistance team and this is what it looked like from after all the heat in the forge, including the tempering flames: The handle was tightly ribbed horizontally like his gloves, with an Aztecan pattern that consisted of meandros to diamonds borders with arrows in between the borders of such. The crossguard consisted of long and thick inverted trapezoid shaped ingots that both had the same engravings as his vambraces on the front and back, with his armored ram horn on the center that was big enough to held like the real deal but small enough to be fitted onto the center on both sides. Not only were there razor blades going forwards on both the upper and lower crossbar ingots, but there were also armored Deathgripper tusks going down and outwards towards the sides as the crossbow was also wide enough to have two of them on both upper sides. The pommel was a thick fang like his Phoenixripper as it was also one of Rainserviper's fangs, with Deathstalker's triple tails being engraved as well as casted in the dried blood cracks. The length of the blade was the same as his Phoenixripper with both of them being slightly longer than a bastard one, with Dustscorcher's power and strength integrated into both swords as they would let him cut anything and cut everything that stands in his path. Blood and Bone were also coiled around but on the top of the handle itself as both spewed smoke, while the second blew out sparks that the both of which were engraved; the both sides of the blade itself had a ebony black to charcoal brown tinted color up to the point with some reflective tattoos from Frynir, and the sharpened cutting edge was inspired by Lanceuardian's spikes he launched from his barbed tail. Not only was there some quills also from his main bud as well but there was also a few squared shaped serrations like his Phoenixripper of course, with a thick eight to ten link chain connected to the pommel towards the same spider as seen on one of his necklaces. Finally, there was writing on the two sides of the blade that wrote: "Bucaniere Baccello Dell'Drakevenchenzitore Roachkolt" all in Park Avenue for the capitals and Mistral for the rest of the letters
Mikekolt's sword sheathes inspired by Ryker Grimborn's open serrated sword sheathes crossed on his back, these ones were shaped like bronze Roman numeral number IIs that had a seamless diamond pattern on the front and back as it was a spider black to charcoal brown color; with the metallic strips having an round of pyramid spikes studded because it was an stable of him. Along both crossed angled sides were his shoulder guard razor blades that had square shaped serrations going down to the bottom ends, while there was his trademark bronze ram horn on the front. Finally, they held both of his second sword and his Phoenixripper flaming sword; with the upper left to right edges being open for him to easily bring out both swords
With both of his swords now placed into their new sheathes crossed on his back, Mikekolt got the rest of his equipment and was now ready to begin the journey; he looked at Breyerkolt as he nodded in return and understood that he'll fill their mother in on what's happening and he knows she'll understand what they must do. He bid his father and half-brother an farewell as he headed out of the village with his Dragons traveling closely from behind, before he could take off however that was when he encountered his mother who was walking to the house; "Mikekolt, is that you?" She asked
"Nice to see you again mother, Breyerkolt will fill you in on the details; I've got a long flight ahead of me so there's no time to waste here. When the time is right I'll come back and we'll be back to being a family again. I assure you since I can't talk right now" Mikekolt abruptly told her before taking off to the skies
Herkatlore looked on as her son was off like before just how she expected him to be, nothing like having your own son go off with their own motives in hand; that's why she raised him and loves her husband. As promised she returned to the household where Breyerkolt filled her in on the details, telling her everything in her absence from the very beginning up until here as he especially told his mother about how he tamed each of new Dragons that she saw with her son. Let's just say she could only hope that he returns alive like her second son did, he may've told her everything but he did not tell her some of the details when it came to rescuing him; it's just not worth the pressure of worrying her even more than he has if he tells her that he beat the fuck out of him hard when Mikekolt didn't want to fight him, he's not the person to kill one of his family members. In the meantime there was just so much she missed out on as Mikekolt's attending the School of Dragons and the issue at hand, now he's going out to fight off their enemies all for the love of the beasts they live together with
He's going to need more allies than he knows if he's going to fight against Maeve, the Matron of Dragons considering that she has herself a history behind this vengeance driven attitude
HTTYD
Mikekolt's journey took him to the Berkian Territories where he believed that Savage was the first of her generals but even more so as a suckup like every boss he's worked with, he'd be a little less none the wiser for the fact that his independence meant nothing; he's still a suckup up until the very end. He was always disrespected as an Viking and by killing Drayko he thinks that he can be a legend but that's just an illusion, he was always a Outcast and that's how he's going to die as one. Berkian Territories is surrounded by evergreens with mostly plain fields along with lakes that had some insane seastacks that had trees growing about, this region is nothing special but it's located near the Isle of Berk itself; along with Chiliblain but that's a island worth freezing for all he could care. The first location was the Inner Oceans where a lot of residential Nadders, Zipplebacks, Nightmares and Typhoomerangs made their home here; now it looks like they've been poisoned by the Dragonroot Company, that's going to end right there and this is going to be easy since it's just the beginning
Mikekolt loaded the Revenant's Talon crossbow with Deathgripper Venom serums that were substituted for the antidote inside because whenever they strike he's always prepared and if not then he'll find a way with the equipment he has on him. Just then as he dismounted onto the ground, Axethor arrived right by his side as he came with his vials of the antidote on him; approaching his best friend as he asked him: "I'm not letting you have the fun without me as I'm prepared for this, are you ready?" He was thankfully back to his previous self as Mikekolt nodded
"Let's go and bring them down" Mikekolt stated as they both moved out into the plains of the region, with their Dragons following their riders closely by their sides
The first group of residentials who lived here consisting of Nightmares and a Nadder proved to be no such challenge whatsoever as Mikekolt loaded up his crossbow and fired towards them, they dodged out of the way and fired against the duo as Axethor blocked the stream with his shield that he still had on him. After the Deadly Nadder fired off it's spines towards the two of them he blocked the attack before throwing it right back at their attacker, engulfing the spine in fire as it turned into an golden fireball; hitting their attacker right in the underbelly as it fell right down. This allowed Mikekolt to fire the serum into it's neck which proceeded to work as the Nadder struggled against the cure before succumbing to his actions, passing out while he targeted the Nightmares next
One of them dived towards him but was interrupted when he threw a Volcanripper Napalm bomb towards it's body, hitting the floor as it bounced up before detonating as it blasted the Nightmare's face which had it angered before firing a serum into it's neck by his crossbow at the last minute while it was recovering. The last one tried to preform a wing blast attack but instead was forced to dodge when he threw a projectile axe overhead, letting out an stream of kerosene in an attempt to burn him alive; Mikekolt slid to the side as Axethor blocked and redirected the attack back to the Nightmare, although it dodged by flying upwards before he threw another projectile axe overhead. This time it struck it's talon and bled out painfully as the beast roared out in pain, now it was hellbent on attacking Mikekolt as it flew towards the man ready to bite him; when he fired his crossbow and struck him right where he wanted the serum to inject itself in
The two of them emerged victorious and for the next battle they're going to use both of their Dragons as fighting to cure these victims were just not enough, they've been bonding with all of their best buds; they're not going to let them not be invited on the action. They continued onwards through the plains with the lakes nearby until they encountered an new group with Zipplebacks filling in the role, there were also more Nadders to fight as this was balanced to even the odds for them. Using their own buds in this fight against them as well, they fought together as Rainserviper blasted them out of the air with a ring of flames while Dustscorcher slammed a few of them down with his strength. Frynir launched a lightning stream towards a few of them in the sky before blasting them all down, with Deathstalker stinging their scales with all three of his tails
Blood and Bone got their chance when they blinded a few Typhoomerangs before igniting the smoke with a bang that had them falling to the ground, where Tuskfang rammed into them as his tusks stabbed into their bodies; throwing them into the air where Lanceuardian as well as Vulcanus both attacked at the same time, leaving the two of them to cure their victims with a serum to their necks. They didn't stay at the Inner Oceans for long because there was more to see in this region such as the next area full of lakes known as Hamish's Sea
As more groups of Dragon Root infected residentials of the Berkian Territories attacked, they were not alone as the soldiers whose loyalty to their leader of the branch provided help on the new area they've entered. Mikekolt decided to take out the soldiers of the Dragonroot Company while Axethor dealt with their attackers as he's better at curing the victims, giving every serum arrow to his friend as he brought out his new sword; running up to the soldiers as he swung his blade towards their chests as to their arms, preforming a downwards helm slash against their helmets as he split their bodies in half from the top. Turning their span of attention to him as they targeted Mikekolt by firing their arrows at him, using his shield to block them before throwing a Deathgripper Acid Flare Bomb that also bounced upwards and exploded upon contact with them being engulfed in flames while their flesh melted into an mess not worth cleaning; all while they screamed like Thor unleashed his anger on them to which truth be told, he was angry because they harassed his Skrills in the other regions that included the Meathead Timberlands as well
The two friends continued on through the next area of the region known as Black Heart Bay which was moved here from Dragonscale Cliff to the Berkian Territories for reasons best left unspoken. As with all the others no one stood a chance against the two of them but as they continued fighting their numbers grew into swarms, where these poisoned victims were was an mystery but they knew that Maeve was bound to be infecting each of the individuals; but neither of them can see any of the native Titans around here. It was during this time that she and Savage were preparing for him to ambush the two of them
"Castle's been interfering in the business for too long but you do not know the things I've seen him do, he's brought ruin to the stronghold of our allies alone by himself and you've never even fought him once yourself; just relying on the Alphas you've poisoned!" Savage scolded and informed her, but Maeve was in no mood to argue with him
"I could care less about what you've seen him and the Knights do, you work for me now" Maeve told him firmly
"That's not my assumption of what's happened to them, that is what happened there. You are clearly ignorant of what he's capable of and I will not let him defeat me so easily!" Savage still carried on this argument and indulged himself in his own independent pride
"Enough you fool, go and see the assets; you are still earning my forgiveness for nearly exposing what I want to tell Drayko back at Blood Briar Island, your bold words are not helping either. When the time comes should he reach the Unfathomable Marshlands alive, only then will he and that warrior will know the true reason I am in for this business" Maeve sent him off his way to confront Mikekolt while she mounted her Buffalord and took off out of this region
Savage walked through the woods near the two lakes on the sides where the forest behind him blew in the wind, crossing his arms and waiting for him; it should be mentioned that he came out of the forest behind him just to be clear. As soon as he heard Axethor's voice telling Mikekolt to go on without him, he knew this would be his chance to fight him
After being forced into leaving his friend behind as the Dragonroot Company's infected Titan Wings, Mikekolt made it into the last section of the region called Bold's Course as it's sparsely forested with evergreen and deciduous trees along with grasses. Three rocky landmasses all having waterways deep enough for the brigantines to pass through, not to mention some of their barques were docked here. As soon as he reached where Savage was, that's when he had his swords out. While Savage had his axe in his hand as well
"You should've stayed and lived out the rest of your days in Berserker Prison, because your death is not going to be peaceful when I do the honors of killing you; Savage!" Mikekolt pointed his blades towards him
"Drayko and Dagur should've known better to come here so that they can face me directly, not send a inexperienced student to deal with the main crisis at hand they call it. I warned you before about the plans we have to crush Draconia and I do not intend on warning you again. Drago Bludvist offered you mercy while we are not, you however are challenging us; that is a mistake that you will live to regret in the afterlife after I send you to your grave!" Savage the Staunch threatened
"You do not fuck with a warrior like me and you do not underestimate me because I'm the one who's killed more Dragon Marauders out in the Archipelago than they kill them while they've done people like you no wrong. I am going to see and have you pay with your blood for everyone you've forced to join you in your treachery, and I am going to make sure that you will not see the end of the next day; so prepare for your death Savage!" Mikekolt declared as he was through with being called someone who doesn't understand the hell that's going on, being mistreated and thrown to the side like he was just a boy
"Arrogant teenager! I will not tolerate you disrespecting me anymore" Savage took offense at his statement and did not hesitate in starting the battle between them
Mikekolt came running to the front of him with his sword drawn out to the side before he swung the blade towards his body, with Savage blocking the attack with his axe as he swung his weapon against his flaming Phoenixripper that was ignited with the lever on the handle. He was parried off towards the left as Mikekolt smashed the thick fang pommel of his sword towards the right side of his cheek, throwing him to the ground but also bringing him down alongside with him; slamming his axe towards his skull but only chopping into the ground as he dodged the attack. With a kick across his face as he got back up on his feet as Savage did as well. The two of them swung their weapons and deflected each blow against the two of each other with the sparks flying out onto the grass, with Mikekolt using both of his swords to slash across his body as well as his arms and legs; just as Savage sent a kick towards him towards his stomach with Mikekolt jumping back and sliding backwards
Savage was just getting started as he rushed to him, switching to the tomahawk and getting him back onto the defensive when he swung his axe from the sides; deflecting them off as although he was cut in a few places he couldn't feel an damn thing at all once thanks to his armor. Mikekolt chopped into his skin a few times with each swing of the tomahawk in his hand and really made him feel the pain, especially when he chopped the blade directly into his stomach just like with Ryker back on Darkheart Prison as he finally got his closure there in the end. Savage lands a blow to his face with a punch and throws him down where he got his axe back and was ready to swing it down towards where his was skull was, but this teenager he calls him was not easily fooled into thinking he'll be killed like that. He got back to his feet once again and continued to fight
This time he brought out the Gauntlet of Frynir and blocked another swing of his axe towards him with his strongest weapon, grabbing Savage by the throat and crushing it in order to have him at his mercy; every attempt he made at escaping was immediately stopped by crushing it tighter and tighter than before, squeezing it like his throat was like a sponge. But after kicking him in the thigh that was when he proceeded to slam him down to the ground repeatedly, he did not stop at all once as he then threw him down; intent on punching the living hell out of him. He reared back his Gauntlet and began to make a round of punches towards his face and end it all with a jumping pound which seriously wounded his face, showing some signs of an few bruises and disfigurement but nevertheless still normal
Savage could not defeat Mikekolt and immediately retreated back to his new boss, running off like the cowardly suckup that he was. His Dragons reached him as he mounted onto his main bud's quill adorned serpentine back before taking off, the trail did not stop here and there was plenty of more to be seen
Oh and just to be clear Axethor was alright since he could take on more than his few share of Dragons, they're all cured by the way so there's no need for him to be worried at all
I know this chapter is rushed but this is excusable because this is the first region, the next time it'll be longer because most of this was Mikekolt getting ready. Next chapter they'll fight not only Dragon Root poisoned and infected Dragons but also Dragonroot Company soldiers, and from there he'll get his own mask. I can't talk anymore from this point, I gotta leave...
