(A/N: This is the third to last chapter of the story as Mikekolt needs some time to end what was started by the Dragonroot Company, as mentioned before he's rennovated his new lair to be more spacious which was inspired by the first Arrowcave that Oliver Queen set up in the Pilot episode of the live action CWTV series. The rest of everything else has also been renovated and reconstructed, the lightsource as well has been changed to floodlights and there's more free space along with some pillars to add some confinement. Everything else was exactly what you can imagine it looking now, so get ready to see the final few chapters that tell Mikekolt's story which will soon end here; the newly renovated lair is where we'll begin this chapter here before we get into the action as Mikekolt's Insignia isn't working out well, which is why it's going to be changed again. Enjoy)
Mikekolt sat back from his tall wingback designed chair for comfort in front of his blacksmith bench as it's here that he was putting together his bombs, consisting of thick shells and their main vial of acid; connecting the wiring through the cables before he twisted the detonation rim to set it to active and whenever he pressed the button it would fully become active for him to detonate on impact. His new lair still has the same floor but was more expansive like the sewers underneath with a few square columns spread out far apart from the four corners of the drenched stone ground underneath. There were some horizontal bars in the front and behind the desks to ladders to access the upper floors. Having tall walls on the four corners of the long and wide hallway, with rays of sunlight peaking diagonally downward onto the main mission room he called it; the three desks acted like his upcoming plans he had in mind and a way to collect intel that Lethalruin gathered from his reconnaissance without being found
Not wanting to have his tomahawk be dangling from his hip throughout the entire time as it's become too much of an problem for him, he worked on his vambraces and locked it right into it's place underneath his arm; positioned upside down and revolving up to his right hand just like that so he wouldn't be disarmed and he can still wield it freely like it wasn't locked into place. He could even false out in dropping his weapon and still grab it to chop into someone's skull. Mikekolt took off his round belt buckle due to not figuring out what insignia will he be recognized by since he didn't think it'll be this hard, sheathing his knife in the upper wrist of his right arm since it's become his dominant weapon hand just like his armor used for raids. Inspired by Grimmel once again he's taken upon himself to create a fleur-de-lis styled dual ended hook for rappeling to hang from his belt, he assumed it was an rappeling hook since he's never seen him use it once at all. The third thing he's doing is recreating his thick belt pouches that hung from the bottom, being bigger with small diagonal edges on the bottom and wider than usual for extra space; also having some pouches on the outside front to keep in smaller things he finds, all protected through snap on buttons and dual belts on the outer face. For now he's got a square buckle on the front since he can't figure out an appropriate insignia that he could be recognized by, although he did have a idea of what it'll be
Mikekolt stood up from his blacksmith desk and got his equipment from the mission desk of his before mounting onto Rainserviper, flying through the exit tunnel as he dived right in the water; resurfacing back into the skies afterwards as he headed to the final sub-region of their journey. Fuld the Fiend was through being treated as if he wasn't a threat due to his look and the fact that he didn't look an actual threat, he had gathered lots of forces here with no need for the Komodo Unit as they've done nothing but proven to be incompetent whenever it was all coming to the ideal goal to stop him at once; unfortunately they heard his complaints and beat the hell out of him as they were not incompetent, they could easily destroy him as much as Drayko could do to them. Mikekolt reflected back on all of the times he waited for this day to come since it's been two years after Drago Bludvist was defeated, he's forgotten how to be a student in the School of Dragons but now he's come to be a walking armory of weapons. He created his equipment and earned some of them, but it all comes down to the very fact that he made a great depature from what he originally learned in his family: Weapon Adaption
However he's now grown to possess an formidable line of weapons for him to use so that's no longer necessary, even then he will grab another enemy's sword to axe and wield it as if it's his own; he was adept in his skills to judge which weapon he will and will not use under which one's going to serve him the best. Even Tiburonkolt had a taste of judgement like this and preferred his tomahawk over something common that an Viking would use, so it's not a whole lot different from what he's doing here. In the distance he saw that they were coming up ahead of the last region of the Archipelago, and it's here that he will be aided by one of their new allies; the former brother to the man he hated the most and former member of the Grimborn family, Viggo. He left his lair and headed out to the farthern southeast of where an evil purple haze began developing in the distance, knowing that there was far more afoot as from what he's known about the Dragonroot Company intel he's been given thanks to all his friends; including Katetiburon who has mysteriously decided to disappear now instead of later, there's going to be a reason for this when it all ends
Finally he reaches the final region that was the Tormentful Boglands where the seas were an murky deep peacock blue color while the presence of the Dragonroot Company was the near strongest as it's ever been. Titan Wings roamed the skies as they flew relentlessly enraged by the poisoning they've been injected with against their will, barques of the branch are docked in their respective places and soldiers were posted in not one but three outposts found on an few separate isles that were all close in the respective vacinities to the main one. Tanks were also in line for the defense like all the others before this one and some weapons from the all but fallen Bludvist's Army that was conquered by the hands of Drayko. Unfortunately the isles where they occupied the sub-region included the Vanaheim graveyard as well, but Maeve is not one to share the information to the others for she believed it would lose it's mystery if a tribe found out and told the others to lead a chain of information; so they will never tell the others about the island for as long as their branch remained. This was it and so it will be the end of the Titan Uprising as the Titans of their respective region was rallied up to begin the revolt against them, now there was just one more left for this to be finished. Finally, there was a developing purple haze in the sky where the sun was setting; being the ending where the madness may end at last and the evil begone from the shadows of the Archipelago
Landing on the vantage point that Drayko used when he previously came from the Barbarous Backcountries, he heard the sounds of climbing and scaling from the ledge of the wall in front of him; mechanical grabbing and pebbles of stone falling off were all heard as well. Tentacles that came in a pair both reached above the ground one at a time, before bringing their master up on the solid ground; Viggo Grimborn had them retract into his spinal cord attachment that was laid out on his back and brought out his dual swords while he came down to meet him in the process. "That look on your face tells me you miss your old lair in the east" Viggo recognized as Mikekolt responded
"I'm guess underground isn't my style regardless of the advantages" He explained as Viggo's upper right tentacle looked at his cheek and rubbed it, although he held it back as they were enough to have their own mind but nevertheless he controlled them at his own will
"Nevermind about that for now because you'll find what kind of hideout you're looking for in the future soon, Fuld the Fiend's using something new though it's not that impressive to say; it's more of a coward's way of fighting. He's got his hands on an Shellfire that commands this sub-region so don't be pissed off about fighting that Titan alone, I have more than your back: I've got the perfect place for your operations where there's an closed arena, overgrown and it's more of the ruins type of base since the Warlords have a similar looking one like that" Viggo explained and told him about not having to be left alone
"The Warlords, Drago Bludvist's Tribunal of Generals?" Mikekolt asked him for clarification
"Ragnar the Rock standing as the tallest of them but the most childish of the three, he acted as more of a fanboy looking up to that devil who thinks he can hunt the most feared and the most rare species of them all. Chaghatai Khan being the most reserved and standoff-like as it comes down to whenever he's around him but he doesn't fear him, neither his reputation nor his Deathgrippers especially when it comes to telling him that Drayko is one step closer to kill him soon in the future. Griselda the Grievous is the shortest but most hot tempered and very impatient as she not only does not tolerate the former's playfulness, but she wants Grimmel to have Toothless as soon as possible so that the new King of Dragons can gather them all into place and finish what Drago began. As soon as his death was heard by them, they couldn't be anymore bloodthirsty and hellbent to get the Night Fury on their hands at all costs; but Eret knows Grimmel and what he does in contrast to what Drayko thought previously about him in his former life he hates talking about, he does NOT make mistakes as he will stop at nothing to kill them all. Dishonorable enough to burn a village down and not even the children should survive the massacre with his Deathgrippers, razing it out of pure sadism and delusional acts of bringing so called justice to the men of this Archipelago" Viggo spoke with a hint of hatred in his voice, he's been hunting them all his life but even he wouldn't destroy villages to prove his point; instead he'll do just exactly what he threatens to do next
"I know Drayko will rise up to the challenge to kill him soon, he will never be without hope in that final battle if it does lead up to him being forced to confront his demons" Mikekolt looked into the distance and deeply thought with him breathing out, it was early to tell but it just felt like he knows it's going to happen. Viggo placed an arm on his shoulder and told him this next before moving on
"I have a word of advice for him if something happens to me when the day comes to finally destroy the Dragon Hunters tribe for good: Don't let your bond be broken because of someone standing between you and a woman he's fallen in love with after the loss of the first love, for once in your life think about each other's people; what you must do next for them. If they leave for this mythical told Hidden World that's supposed to be resting below the seas, the Dragons will not be gone forever as only you and everyone you've made allies with will be allowed to see them again because this Archipelago must learn how to live with them in peace. So says the man known as Death, the Destroyer of Bloodlines" Viggo concluded as Mikekolt understood and looked down on Tiburonkolt's Compass
"Drayko... I have nothing more to ask from you, let's get a move on" Mikekolt understood whom the title he was referring to before Viggo nodded, getting an move on through the sub-region to end the crisis once and for all
Their first destination in mind was the Blighted Bog due to the light reinforcements there as they want to start this off nice and easy, being the tactical villain he once was before Ryker's betrayal led him to begin this new path down for redemption; he's enjoying every second of it without having to feel like he's being forced to live on any conditions he has to agree to. A Dragonroot Company outpost was on the lookout for trespassers, and they've got the most of their poisoned victims with them chained to the ground; ready to be released and cause the most hellish chaos in the Archipelago for the Knights to deal with while they expand each of their operations elsewhere in the main and sub-regions. Mikekolt rode downward onto their outpost on the back of Rainserviper and crashed into the structures to tear them down, now as the incompetent soldiers compared to the Komodo Unit were all on full alert as they were scrambling to get into position to counter their attackers
Using his tentacles as both weapons to take on more than his enemies but to help his allies as well, Viggo slammed the Dragonroot Company soldiers both towards the ground and flying to the walls where the impact crushed their bones; grabbing another soldier where he was held closely to his face before he used both of his swords to execute him by decapitation. He then targeted a third hunter where this time he let his lower tentacles rapidly pound against their victim's bones on the sides where they began to bruise, slamming the hunter afterwards to the ground where the impact killed him. A few of the soldiers fired their arrows against him but thanks to his tentacles they were blocked as Talon charged towards them, electrocuting the group as a little distraction while Viggo ended this with a double sword throw that killed most of them and left a few wounded; that's when Mikekolt came in with his arms behind his back holding three of his Deathgripper Acid Flare Bombs behind him in between his fingers, though they were not as they seem to be
"You betrayed us Viggo because of him poisoning your mind, the Dragon Hunters will never falll by his hands for as long as we're here to bring the business Ignar Ingermand started back then. If you were still our leader we'd would've killed him by now!" A soldier shouted at him to whom Viggo remained silent, giving Mikekolt the nod to kill them
"Then how about you go to hell with Ryker and Grashunov dragging you down to it's depths, oh and how about while you're at it... dodge this!" Mikekolt threw two of his Deathgripper Acid Flare Bombs towards the survivors. but instead of detonating right then and there... suddenly they broke out of their hollow shells and became spinning blades headed directly towards them
"Oh hell/Oh great/I hated those bombs before and now this, what next?" Came the reactions from the surviving Dragonroot Company soldiers upon seeing the new variation of what has become his most infamous projectiles according to the rumors spread about like wildfire in their waters
Tinkering about with his Deathgripper Acid Flare Bombs made him create two variations that although both of them involved blades, the two were not the same. The first one broke out of it's shell before revealing it's true appearance. Both halves on the top and bottom looked the same like the rims that were given a ringed trapezoid shaped crater, the center sported two medium sized cylinders stacked on top of each other; having dual fanged scimitar like blades on both the left and right sides as the top to bottom went the opposite sides. They both spun fast and deadly towards the victims, maneuvering through unbreakble objects in their path while cutting through anything that blocks them like wires for example. If they don't hit their targets then they will return back in order to slice their victims to ribbons, diverting away should they dodge the attack; as the discs on the top to bottom were flat just to be clear. The second variation had long bladed dual wings on the top to bottom closely spaced together in the large cylinder in the center of the homing bat like weapon, with the top and bottom of the discs now having a small vertical edge on both of them; also having two smaller cylinders on the upper and lower discs. Like before it was sharp and deadly but unlike the previous one where it acted like spinning blades, this one chases the victim and attempts to cut whoever is being pursued off. Stabbing into their skin painfully and even cutting through anything in it's path like before, maneuvering through obstacles to keep the chase on until they're blown up by any opposing weapons the victim fights back with. The wings for this one happened to use a new weapon he's designed specially for Drayko known as the Returnerwing, a deadly and in the process sharp boomerang like weapon meant to replace the crescent blades he is always using since he switched to them as arrows will do no good anymore for him. Finally, these are in the same shape as the bombs but are kept as separate weapons; when melting the flesh as well as blood and bones off an victim is just not enough at times
The spinning razor bladed projectiles were coming in fast as the survivors jumped into the air in order to spin diagonally in place to avoid the weapons, which veered off to the sides; they would then return to cut their pieces of flesh as well as stab through their bodies which some of them had fallen victim to, collapsing to the floor dead as few of them dared to counter the swarm of them left; swinging a sword against two of them first before the third one that got them from behind struck them on the arm. They yelled in pain and grasped their arms as the soldiers looked up and saw an incoming one from the front, as well as one from the back; the soldiers tried their best to bend down to have them both collide harmlessly but failed when their spinal cords cracked and snapped from the impact of their beatings. Not only did they collide in spite of everything else considered, but they were also stabbed on both sides of their skulls as well as decapitated their heads to send them flying off from their severed necks. Without any other interruptions as this outpost was now bursting into flames, the heroes moved onwards to the next area of this sub-region (A/N: FYI these split into three when a single one is thrown so this serves as inspiration to what Mikekolt's working on for Drayko: the Returnerwing as they split into three of the same projectiles whenever thrown like that one disc weapon from Batman '98 on the NES, if you've actually played the game then you would know what I'm saying here)
Viggo was beginning to suspect something about Mikekolt as nothing indicated that he was a Owl Gut Tribe warrior but instead someone from a specific tribe that's been abandoned since the fall of the kingdom that Tiburonkolt was involved with. Thus without keeping anything to himself he asked him of this question thanks to the arsenal he's either built or taken as his, it was clear to him that he no longer requires Weapon Adaption as it was meant to train him in whatever weapons he decides it's best for him to take up as his own. "Are you a direct prince of the former Lupineraider Brotherhood Tribunal? In my words a fancier way of saying tribe, sounds similar to that word so why not give it another meaning beyond just a court to deal with specific situations" Viggo asked Mikekolt as he thought to himself
"Tell me what they were like according to the history you've indulged yourself in, I'm no prince that's for sure" Mikekolt felt the name being familar to him but just couldn't put a finger on it
"Their chief and founder happened to be the ancestor you favor so much" Viggo started to tell him
"Tiburonkolt" Mikekolt spoke his ancestor's name out
"After the fall of Merciless he's moved on to create his own tribe acting not like a everyday man clan but as a PMC (Private Military Company) Tribe consisting of mercenaries from the others who were exiled out of betrayal by the ones they called their families thanks to the now abolished Viking Law that served as corruption in the Archipelago back then. He's just building a nation for warriors who will fight and will not stop fighting until their final breath, they're also known for breaking tradition for appearing as mostly Italians with a few Africans on their side being treated no different from themselves because they're all one in the same" Viggo explained the history and the people
"Not acting above one another is the kind of tribe I'd feel like I actually belong in" Mikekolt had grown to believe that he's not comfortable in living with the Owl Gut Tribe, feeling like there was something not right at all going on
"There will be more to say about Tiburonkolt's Tribe he formed after the crowning of the King of the Barbaric Tribes, for now we have a sub-region ahead of us to liberate from our enemy. I reason I asked you was because they created weapons just like yours" Viggo gestured ahead of them as he and Mikekolt moved on to the next area
HTTYD
The second area they trekked through was the Restless Hallows where the Cavern Crasher is making a home for itself since it was known to force others out of their nest, being a winding cavern hideaway for the species who doesn't like staying in the same place for too long so at least there's that; the Dragonroot Company had imprisoned the species inside of their cages and built a campsite due to the narrow space of these caves
Mikekolt decided to make quick work of them by flipping his tomahawk into his hand and spinning about against them, having their necks be sliced as well as severed off like stacked pebbles from smallest to largest; they never stood a chance against him. As the soldiers began to retreat deeper into the cave to get the hell out of his way, Mikekolt brought out another of his Deathgripper Acid Flare Bomb as it broke out of the hollowed shell before chasing the targets; throwing a few more towards their way as they were chased deeply through the caverns until the echoing screams of cuts and slashes on their skin as well as stabs into their bodies filled the tunnels
"Returnerwing's the name of the weapon you're planning to give Drayko huh, then we might as well give those razor bat like projectiles a name; going try calling them: Pursuerwings as in the event that it's based off the name of those bat shaped blades, they are chasing the victim and will cut as well as slash and stab them until they're dead. So why not call it a Pursuerwing after all? Chaserwing doesn't work out as well, not fancy sounding enough" Viggo suggested as his four tentacles looked at Mikekolt, with Talon agreeing with the name
"I'd be happy to make some of the Pursuerwings you call them for you as part of your arsenal" Mikekolt nodded and offered, but Viggo declined for now as he explained his reason
"I mostly rely on my electrical blades but I'm going to have to ask you to keep that offer up as long as you can, they'll serve to be a perfect projectile against some incoming groups as they can cut through flesh well. I don't need a lot of weapons to go up against my enemies, but I'll not hesitate espeically when it's the Komodo Unit that needs to be killed" Viggo sheathed his blades on his back for now as he mounted Talon and left the caverns, seeing the buisness the two of them they have here is concluded with Mikekolt following ahead
The third outpost had stronger reinforcement in the Windswept Ruins which is exactly what it says in the name with some blowing gusts in the swamp mangrove flooded structures that were rotting and eroding away thanks to the tests of time. Viggo wasted no time in planning out the next move while Mikekolt looked ahead with his binoculars, zooming in to count out the number of soldiers patrolling through the outpost; confirming the number as being more than what they've previously fought before. Nothing like a new styled beating to drive these soldiers out of the sub-region for good permenantly. Mikekolt flipped his binoculars back up just as Viggo looked ahead before nodding to his ally, heading out to their outpost right away with no delay in the journey that was coming to a end at last
"Nothing like a few Pursuerwings to throw that'll send them scrambling to pull their shit back together, espeically when they're getting chased around" Mikekolt brought out another one of his Pursuerwings with the wide winged blades as Viggo began to tell him
"Now that I've seen all three of your Acid Flare Bombs, it's best for me to say that I've got one more name for the spinning blades variation: Razorjacks due to the blades being sharp as the wings of a Timberjack, makes all the sense worthwhile afterall. Best we start referring to that from now on, Pursuerwing on the otherhand is for the ones that chase the intended target; as soon as that's out of our way we'll continue onward" Viggo thought for a moment before he concluded that it was best to give a separate name to the two variations of his bombs
"Love the name for the spinning blades, now I'm feeling special" Mikekolt agreed on naming the spinning scimitar blade Pursuerwings, Razorjacks as it provides him a better way to keep track of what variant he's going to be using
"More like OVERPOWERED with the arsenal you're armed to the bone with" Viggo emphasized the term because he's a walking armory that'll be targeted by the Komodo Unit for inspirations for new weapons from the Dragon Marauders
The assault began as Mikekolt bombarded the Dragonroot Company outpost with a load of his Deathgripper Acid Flare Bombs in a rain of burning and melting explosions that had the really incompetent soldiers scream out for mercy. Viggo had his share of tearing them apart with an few extra hands on his back, grabbing two at a time with all four of his tentacles and ripping a bunch of new assholes through their chests. Brutally ripping out three of the soldier's hearts out all at once before smacking them all away against the walls where the impact was not the killer this time around, it was when he crushed all three hearts as blood gushed onto Viggo's face as one of his tentacles wiped it away from him gently and softly. Killing the traitors of his men never felt so good before and perhaps this is the perks of being an ally to Drayko, being an adversary to him was daunting before but being an ally meant that his game was about to reach new ways of entertainment all by allying himself to his former nemesis
However by that time was when Viggo after tearing down half of the outpost he had found a concoction experiment that was happening to be brewed by the soldiers with their leader's words about Fuld the Fiend being a master of elixirs ringing true. He could not begin to think of what elements they were using to blend it all into a serum of rage, used to chemically bind and restrain the Titan Wings under their control before releasing them to cause chaos in their home; attacking the ten regions altogether. Without a second to spare he began to slaughter them ruthlessly apart without mercy, one of them was going to give him answers on what in hell's name was exactly the concoction made of. He left very few survivors at his grasp and as for each act of defiance was shown against him, one survivor was ripped apart as he'll not cease his rampage until he finds out what is the key that Maeve's Buffalord holds
Not taking a lot more risks then they've made the surviving soldiers that have been cut down to few left have surrendered to his cold-blooded nature in interrogation, they would now tell him everything about what their leader Maeve meant in her words. The concoction of what is being brewed in their experiments was higher than normal doses of Dragon Root, higher than what the hunters used but thanks to her Buffalord and discovering about the opposite effects although rare at times may have on their Titan Wings; they've added in her Buffalord's Saliva and tested it out which worked exceeding in their desires just as they've planned it out. The Dragonroot Company had since used this horrifying chemical to invoke the wrath of the evil, but innocent beasts out onto the Archipelago to reign chaos on various points of the regions; the thought of having Talon be infected under the influence of the toxin enraged him to the point of killing three of the survivors as the rest explained about Maeve's motivation, though this was pointless to him as there was nothing new for him to know about what she didn't tell Mikekolt already. Taking out a Deathgripper Acid Flare Bomb that he snuck from him when he wasn't looking, he threw it directly towards the rooftop and detonated it; with Talon firing off a stream of lightning that further caused the collapse of the foundation as they both left, the survivors of the Dragonroot Company were left to a crushing death and the process to a halt
As soon as Viggo and Talon exited the ruins of the outpost, Mikekolt approached him as the voice of Drayko was heard but could not be seen as he began to speak to them both from a hidden place in the shadows: "I've heard everything as Lethalruin told me thanks to training him on recon from the interrogation of yours Viggo, this is even worse than what I originally thought as I was certain that the Deathgripper venom had a helping hand in this; Maeve will fall before Draconia dies with me. Fuld is up ahead, get that Shellfire free of the toxin now before they can use the Titan to cause even more chaos than we have enough of here"
Now understanding the extra element added to the Dragon Root to enrage all Titans in each of the ten regions, Mikekolt's inner anger was beginning to rise deep inside of him as he gave out a nod in response and moved on; waiting to deal with Fuld the Fiend so that he can finally attack their headquarters to put a end to the crisis and threat they're posing. Seeing that their enemies would target the Isle of Vanaheim as it's the Defender of the Wing's most sacred of burial grounds, it is where the former Great Protector rests when the time to painlessly rest to the afterlife comes; and the Dragon Hunters have been attempting to reveal the location but were always stopped as any information that was written was burned, if Hiccup was still himself it would be for a good reason as he insists no human should ever know about these burial grounds. However he would also insist that they have no business intruding here like the Hidden World, that's why he's never developed a rivalry against him and his ideas since he's got better ones and to himself he's more than what the Vikings are; the moment when he goes his own path is the moment he and Hiccup get into a fight, that is the reason why he doesn't hang out with him and why he prefers Drayko over him
The final destination was just up ahead of them now as the sight of seeing the once glorious burial grounds known as the Isle of Vanaheim was shattered base albeit a small one built on it's sacred tombs. Vanaheim had peaks and plateaus of lightly tanned rocks to grass and trees that grew with fruit native to this island, surrounded by spires of ice and jagged coastlines all around. The tombs of the Dragons who come to live out their days here are organized by their species, tended to by the guardian Sentinels who defend the elder aged and the fatal ill. From afar the topography was like that of a Bewilderbeast who has rotted away for centuries, even the thought of having the deceased great White King may have once been considered to now be resting here. Under the jagged coastline of the sea was the final resting of the Luminous Krayfins filled with seaweed, giant clams and some crabs who made their home here. Having a extremely high mountain peak on it, this is where the Sentinel known as the Silent Knight made it's lair here. Finally, this was going to be the last time that the Dragonroot Company ever attacks the Archipelago and attempts to crush Draconia under their grasp; because they'll have to deal with him first
"Let me attack and land the direct strike on the base, I assure that the tombs will not be destroyed during our little skirmish to drive them out of here for good; they will not be giving the knowledge of Vanaheim's existence to the Dragon Hunters. I'll join you when Fuld gets all desperate since he knows he's close to defeat" Viggo told Mikekolt as he nodded
"Leave no Dragonroot Company soldier alive, Viggo" Mikekolt responded back as the former chief of the now rogue tribe leaped off from the back of his most trusted Skrill, Talon whose loyalty to him did not go ignored allowed him to follow the chief down to join him in battle
Fuld the Fiend alerted his soldiers up in the sky and ordered them to attack knowing that the two of them were coming for him, he wasn't going to let them defeat him but they also have something on their hands that the two of them were going to give back to the branch to help the tribe who was weakened because of Drayko. Their tanks aimed up and fired away at their targets whom for Viggo was held onto by Talon while MIkekolt used his shield to block at the missiles. Though he wishes he could throw it more easily and that's why he's going to make it shift into a more rounder disc shape, but return back to it's normal shape when he's not using it for offense
Viggo slammed down to the ground as his four tentacles extended outwards before spinning to sweep the attacking soldiers off from the floor, smacking them all away in the process and impaling through their stomachs thanks to the center spikes sprouting out. Looking at all four walls of the base they've built here, he slammed all four of his tentacles to them and ripped down the foundations inside; he was going to bring down the house for this base. Mikekolt on the other hand brought out his Phoenixripper to burn down some waves of soldiers, the feeling of wielding his flaming sword after a long absence felt spetacular when he slashed through their torsos and stabbed through their tri-spike helmet wearing skulls
Flipping his Phoenixripper into a reverse grip he pressed down onto the lever and released a deadly but thick flare from the pommel that set more than a group of soldiers burning alive in the process, he even threw a few Razorjacks against a few of them to add in to the fiery chaos that was being caused by him. A few of his Dragons joined in their master's fight against many of the waves that were coming non-stop, but he couldn't care less considering that he fought an army of Dragon Marauders in one of their strongholds that attacked their home and forced Axethor into acting like a moronic jackass
While Talon and Frynir joined forces to create one hell of a blasting stream of lightning with the thunder forming all around their scales, both of their riders took on the final wave of the soldiers posted on this small base that was going to collapse. Viggo grabbed Mikekolt with his tentacles and launched him directly into the incoming group where he began to brutally chop and dig his tomahawk deeply into their flesh and bone. In return he threw some bombs over to his ally who took the offer, throwing a flurry of them against their attackers who melted to the ground; even using a few of them with a strategy in mind. After ripping an soldier's spinal cord out and throwing the dead corpse towards the large group, he held the bomb in hand as Viggo added to the electricity with his twin swords; infusing the bomb and throwing it against the final group who went out with a deadly explosion that not only melted their skin but also fried them to the bones that also turned to ashes. Mikekolt preformed the finishing blow and did just that with the help of Rainserviper who reemerged from the ground, tearing down the house once and for all
Just then the Shellfire began to rise from the water with Fuld the Fiend standing on the back of the Titan Wing, maroon scales with a gold horn and all. Angrier than usual as although the species of such beasts would tend to escape fights as well as avoid struggles, that is what led it to be captured as well as easily exploited by men like Ryker in their war against the Knights and allow their natural enemies the Submarippers to emerge victorious. Expelling red algae from their gills upon seeing that they were threatened by the group of heroes before them, that algae was enough to blind and have their attackers fall ill temporarily. "You have the made the final mistake by challenging us, the Dragonroot Company who will see your failed dreams be crushed before your eyes!" Fuld declared as Mikekolt taunted back
"A real warrior of the Dragon Hunters does not hide behind the back of an Titan!" Mikekolt proclaimed
"Leave the seas and face us coward!" Viggo added in
"You have made a mockery out of the way I look for the last time, Maeve the Matron of Dragons will see you dead for betraying the Dragon Hunters and for interfering in our matters!" Fuld the Fiend raised his spear and ordered the Shellfire to attack by firing it's long range lethal plasma charge that a thick smoking trail from behind, with a plasma blue spiral on the bottom while the cannonball sized projectile looked like a rocky but molten lava ball that was given a sky cyan to plasma blue color
Mikekolt stood his ground and angrily growled at Fuld the Fiend just when the plasma charge was coming closer, Rainserviper alongside the rest of his team all jumped in front of him and shield him from the blasting impact; the plasma charge hit the island which had the Sentinels alerted by this sudden disturbance. The Sentinels remained like statues when their enemies built their small base on this island, though their plan was to take them off guard and attack when their defenses were down; now's the time to aid the heroes who've come to continue preserving the sacredness of the Isle of Vanaheim
Viggo's tentacles grasped the ground before raising their master into the air and rearing back to the opposite side, ultimately throwing him over to the Shellfire whose Grim Dragons led by the lone docile Sentinel known as Cinder prepared to attack and guard their Titan leader by taking out the two heroes; but the fight was called off when the other Sentinels started their attack on them firsthand
Mikekolt mounted onto Rainserviper and stood atop his quill adorned back like a snowboard, gliding towards the Titan in the distance close to the shoreline before jumping off; landing on the back of this depth lurking beast with a shockwave upon his impact. Mikekolt targeted the general responsible and attacked Fuld with his sword, whom the disgruntled hunter blocked with his spear; throwing him off to the side and lunging forwards as his stab was stopped by his tusked shield, seeing that the Shellfire had suffered enough by the general of this region and he will not see another Titan get harmed because of them. On his back he launched Fuld off to the other side where Viggo grabbed him by the neck, only to be struck by pathetic little punches from the scrawny hunter which does not amuse him in the slightest
Fuld then landed a nasty blow against Viggo's scarred left cheek which caused some burns to start with no pun intended flaring up just now, but this mistake would not go unpunished as his tentacles grabbed him by both sides of his head; raising him up in the air and beginning his torture by pounding him to the ground repeatedly until he would sooner or later break free from their crushing grip. Attempting to foolishly attack his tentacles which will and of course can kill him, Mikekolt swiped his sword against his back in a flurry of swings that is enough to draw bits of blood from his spinal cord; grabbing him from the back and without mercy shove his head into the seawater where the Shellfire was trying it's best to escape from this fight that was happening
The Titan was just not simply brave enough to try and stop the chaos that erupted between the two warring factions, though if he chose a side; then let it be the Knights as they're the ones who've helped them out more than enough times, it's a debt that's going to be repaid in the blood of the Dragon Hunters. Too bad that they aren't cursed by Aztec Treasure from the likes of Cortes but even then, the Aztec Empire lives on thanks to the survivors of that horrible conquest
The sudden shake off from the Shellfire allowed Fuld to escape his drowning torture and thus have him get revenge on Mikekolt by latching onto his throat, strangling him with his thin like cigarette arms; getting him down to the ground as he held his spear ready to stab him right in the throat for his constant taunts about how he was inferior in terms of appearance from the other hunters. However he broke free when he landed a kick in his ass, getting back up in the process where Fuld landed a flying double kick to his face; one of Viggo's tentacles waited for him to run close to Mikekolt long enough and when he did, he flipped him over and slammed two of them against his chest hard where a yelp of pain was heard
Phoenixripper in hand he threw the flaming blade down as once again Fuld blocked the near fatal blow with his spear, an act like that where he will not make the same mistake twice. He wanted to end this battle right here and right now even as the Shellfire was fully consumed by the catastrophic and in other terms, disastrous concoction that would send the Archipelago into a burning inferno as that's what the Dragonroot Company can see now in their eyes
Mikekolt threw Viggo another bomb to him that was laced with the antidote for their horrific concoction that they've brewed in the dark, strong enough to heal even the most highest and the most poisonous doses of such evil to chemically restraint their will to serve their masters. He came traversed upon the body of the Shellfire who was struggling against the vial that had control over him, firing plasma charges up into the air where they landed down back onto the battleground that they were on. Mikekolt took advantage of this by using Fuld to shield their rainfall of boulder sized projectiles that would kill the average warrior, inflicting deep cuts to serious electrical burns on his skin; due to his scrawny stature unlike Hiccup who can survive whatever is thrown at him, Fuld did not take this beating well and was starting to fade in and out of conciousness.
Viggo used this time to jump overhead from the Titan's forehead and as his tentacles latched onto it's horns, he threw himself into the mouth and with the bomb in his hand; fired it down it's throat where it soon detonated afterwards. He catapulted himself out of the Titan's mouth and was redirected by Talon who threw him back into the game that was about to conclude according to him
The detonation caused so much pain for the Shellfire to submerge itself before leaping into the air as our heroes were both thrown off back onto the Isle of Vanaheim's guarded shores, however after Mikekolt had viciously slashed against Fuld's chest with his second sword that spilled out deadly amounts of blood on the sands; he started to limp away from the attackers, going back to join the others back at their headquarters. But Mikekolt aimed his crossbow and mercilessly shot him in the left leg multiple times to ensure that he would not escape, falling to the ground and grunting in frustration. "ARRGHH dammit! My leg!"
Fuld the Fiend crawled and limped on the ground to escape from the two heroes but could go no further as Mikekolt walked up to him, kicking him on the side and flipping him over where he crawled backwards up against a rock where his head rested. It was then he began to beg in mercy and remind him that he's not allowed to kill someone who is unarmed, being that it's a very dishonorable action that would not sit well with Drayko nor his tribe. "You can't... I... I'm unarmed..." Mikekolt aimed the Revenant's Talon II towards his throat as this wasn't himself anymore, just his evil shadow who was waiting to finally come out from hiding after a long absence
"Kill me now and your honor will be as ruined and cursed by the people of your name just as I am in the Dragonroot Company!" Fuld the Fiend screamed out at him
Mikekolt was through listening to the scrawny general who was disrespected by his enemies and shoved the dual fire crossbow into his mouth, loaded with a specially designed projectile that was alloy casted but was also smaller; deadlier than normal and could pierce through the human flesh as well as their organs without being stopped. "This... is for Frynir" He fired and shot his Revenant's Talon II as blood splattered and splintered across his face, turning into a darkblood red with hand smears of salamander and papaya to basketball orange; his frosty filled breath came out through his nose as he turned and walked off, leaving the dead corpse of Fuld the Fiend to rot on the shores of Vanaheim now that it's sacredness was protected by them once more
"Are you in love with her, Mikekolt?" Viggo asked as he could tell about the hint that he gave, but also figuring out after a moment that voice was his real one; sounding older than what he appears to look and says about his age, being two years younger than Drayko
"After being tortured by her for months about information I refuse to give? Yes because I'm a fucked up bastard who's insane in the membrane, but now that one of the generals are gone and taken down; consider this a sudden change in topic: I'll be coming over to your new lair since I haven't forgotten about what what you said about finding something that's suitable for my headquarters considering the fact that I've outgrown my former lair at the Whispering Caribbean. I'll still visit the place every now and then as I'm using it as my resort" Mikekolt responded
"The place I mentioned before is just eight miles from the Whispering Caribbean resort you call it, this will only take seven to three hours if you're riding atop an friend like this" Viggo stroked Talon's head as he continued on: "Come with me then, Drayko knows about what's happened here since he's bound to be watching from the shadows; I understand well that you've got the perfect plan to attack their headquarters but by then, the Dragon Hunters would no longer require their help now that they've got a boost in their arrows"
"I will but there is one last thing for me to say: how the hell did you tame a Shellfire for the infamous Shellfire Project?" Mikekolt asked him as Viggo responded immediately
"Hard shell it has, couldn't know the presence of the Dragon Hunters before it was too late; having no neck does not help the Shellfire either. I'm also wanting to forget about my time in leading the tribe before that traitorous brother of mine snatched control away from me, that is why I don't talk about my experiences in both first and third person" Viggo stated at the end as they mounted their Dragons and flew out to the horizon of the sub-region
As the Sentinels returned to their island whose sacredness was guarded once again with the aid of the Knights and the former adversary Viggo Grimborn, the victims who were both dead ill and ready to live out the rest of their age out here looked on. Not even the Shellfire could resist looking out to see the once leader of the infamous Shellfire Project turn to their cause, a sudden change from him made them wonder if there are more villains to come turn to their cause; because they know that they haven't seen the last of him just yet. This was no trick of his and if he did change for the better, then the Knights have a valuable ally on their hands; especially after he was presumed to be dead since his disappearance
Nevetheless, it's a change that was expected from him as Ryker grew ever so impatient and it was all because of his first meeting with Drayko following the rescue of Stormfly that day...
