(A/N: No matter how it ends or how many sacrifices there will be to pile up the list of deaths, it ends here today in the early hours of the morning. The final battle takes place here in their base as the assault has started on their main Dragon Root excavation site, get ready for some action as well as a chase through the minecarts as they're gonna be jumping across from one to another. Idea came from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for that scenario so let's say we begin with that one firsthand, the Komodo Unit will not hold anything back from the line of arsenal they've built thanks to the secret funds that was established by the Warlords after the death of Drago Bludvist. Everything has been going to hell ever since that happened and now it's going to end here. Get ready for another few tears to shed when there's a death in the hero's family that will be the Dragonroot Company's downfall, Enjoy)
From the time that he exited the microwave hallway as he survived through sheer willpower over surrendering to the infernal heat that was the trap laid out for trespassers like him, our hero Mikekolt now walks down to the Lava Powerhouse inside where various minecarts ran through carrying the liquid root outside for the large quantities of arrows to be dipped in as well as to be dried under the solar lamps where they are then packaged and shipped over to Dragon Hunter Island
But it is this day that he is shutting the operations down, the vertical and large cylinder shaped tubes extracted the boiling root mined and cooked below in the kitchens. It was a hemispherical chamber that had crisscrossing several rings of catwalks to walk on from the upper and lower floors, stable enough to be fought on as well as sustain multiple damage before they collapsed down below to the caverns where the strip mining was taking place in. This was where the Dragonroot Company is shut down for good and he will not be stopped by the Komodo Unit guarding this section, neither by their generals (A/N: Design based off The Phantom Menace (1999) by LucasFilm Ltd. and it will never be by Disney, N.E.V.E.R!)
Mikekolt brought out his second sword and his one handed Revenant's Talon III crossbow in his left hand, getting into his combat stance as he held both weapons simultaneously so it can be easier for him to switch between a shootout and a sword fight. The following soldiers saw him exit out from the door and spared no second in opening fire on him, he began to run over along the main catwalk that led forwards; jumping into the air as he slashed down at the first soldier's head, cutting down another one with his tomahawk flipping into his hand and killing the third with a shot of his crossbow. Taking out multiple Pursuerwings and throwing them all into the air where they started to home onto his targets, cutting and slashing across each of their bodies as a few of them were knocked down to the lowest point of the caverns down below and into the kitchens where the tubes came from
A Komodo Minigunner walked into the scene wielding his dangerous weapon in his hands and like the rest spared no time in gunning down Mikekolt who ran along the catwalks, the arrows piercing through the glass and spraying some hot liquidized root onto the floors. This was bad for them since they've lost a few of their own when repairing the leaks. He then got up to the next catwalk above where he dropped down to land a series of hits against the evil minigunner. "You're not hiding from me, Castle!"
The heavily and dangerously armed Komodo Unit brute swung his minigun over across to the right side which he dodged, landing in a few more hits before he then swung it to the left in his attempt to sweep him from the ground; jumping as that happened and giving his all with multiple heavy strikes to his muscled torso. The minigunner tried to smash him overhead but only hit the floor with the front of his weapon in the process, Mikekolt grabbed it just as he was about to swing it against him and countered his foe; kneeing his jaw before ending it all with a headbutt and throwing his body down below
But as a seismic gauntlet and boot equipped wearing brute came charging towards him, he was attacked by Breyerkolt who pounced onto his upperbody; landing an knife into his skull but was instead thrown off the catwalks alongside Mikekolt who attempted to kill this brute, now falling alongside his half-brother. He fired off a black web towards Breyerkolt's chest as he did to the catwalk they both were thrown off before he launched the both of them back up into their encounter with the brute, with his half-brother kneeing their enemy's jaw and Mikekolt landing a heavy bicycle kick against the soldier's face; ending it with an revolving forward kick that knocked him beaten to the ground. Stabbing him in the face with his sword to ensure he doesn't get back up from that, but there were plenty of more to come from as a second brute slammed his gauntlets together; building up seismic soundwaves and firing off a ear-bleeding vibrational shockwave that sent them both flying backwards
Falling to the lowest floor of the base but spotting an incoming minecart running along their suspended tracks as usual, he got his half-brother onto his back and fired off another web to connect to his target; swinging down at first before going upwards as that's where he jumped off. He fired a third web and swung himself over horizontally to the next minecart where the two half-brothers came landing inside of, now riding the tracks that were coming in fast from the distance before them. As soon as he saw two other minecarts on the east and west sides, Mikekolt unattached his webshooters and gave them to Breyerkolt: "Use these brother, they have served me well in spite of not using them in combat too much" He told him
"Just like the brother I know, if the others ain't sharing then they're going to by force and you are no exception because I would never break any of yours" Breyerkolt smiled viciously as he turned to the western minecart and jumped off, shooting a web over to one of the soldiers as he pulled himself towards them; getting inside where he started to slaughter them all with a sword he always kept since their fight with the priest
Mikekolt dealt with the eastern minecart as it changed it's course into the mountains where a volcano resided in, this was the Lava Powerhouse after all and that's where the power comes from. As the both of them got close to each other, he brought out his sword and slashed into the Komodo Unit soldier's neck; stabbing the next one's neck and when the third one tried to pull him down; he yanked himself forward and threw him over to the lava below. He leaned the minecart over to the east side when the turn came and fired his crossbow to his pursuers, throwing an round of Deathgripper Acid Flare Bombs directly towards the minecart head on
The explosion blew them out and melted their flesh as their lifeless corpses fell out down to the burning lava below. The burning red and orange to golden color throughout the stripmine caverns that were tunneled out expanded to a bigger size with the lava widening below them as nothing was more intense than this, the lanterns hanging from the cavern walls showed no help in making this less sweatdripping
The opposing minecart came out on the upper east side as few of them jumped down, in the attempt to strangle him back while the other beat him due to the microwave hallway giving him deadly scorching burns to inflict deep pain into him. Mikekolt broke out and flipped the back soldier's arm onto his shoulderguard before throwing him over to the front, sending the two Komodo Unit soldiers burning alive in a fiery fate. He jumped up to the sides of the cart and smacked his tomahawk against the post which shifted the track to the left side, bringing him back into the base's lower floors where he exited outside to find Drayko fighting off the generals with the aid of Dagur and Viggo by his side; just as he imagined it together when he first saw the three of them all in one spot. However, the generals did not put up much of the fight as they did previously; they were all killed in a matter of seconds really
Drayko clashed against the brute general of the Dragonroot Company, Tyree Treewalker who swung his war hammer against him; but when he slammed the head onto the ground, he got kneed in the face and stunned in the forehead with Inferno's pommel. He then brutally cut him down with a burning slash going diagonally downwards across his chest, stomping on it to have some blood explode out his chest afterwards to ensure that he stays dead
Dagur defended against Bjarke's various sword swings using his axe, deflecting each blows of the hunter with a grudge. As he was an dirty fighter he landed a kick into his knee which had him collapse in pain, he landed a series of heavy blows across his skull before chopping his axe into his stunned body wildly; never stopping until he was laying dead right in front of him and made it worse by blowing the rest into pieces that rained down using a Zippleback Grenade from Raedwit
Viggo was joined by Maeve's Buffalord who turned out to be a female all this time, now going up against the swarms of soldiers who were free to kill this beast for her betrayal; inflating in the process before letting out an burst of uncontrollable pyrolastic clouds to set them all into flames. Using his tentacles to take advantage of them by bringing down a rockslide to kill the soldiers with one move and using his dual swords to electrocute the next wave of them into ashes, amplified by Talon as all three of their Dragons flew into the air to rain down the chaos that they've come to return fire to. The battlefield was turned to their favor but the last one who remained was nowhere to be seen (A/N: Didn't know the Buffalord was female at all as I looked it up on the wiki, I'm just gonna keep referring her to as a male since I established that beforehand)
Mikekolt returned to the lower floors of the base soon after as his minecart re-entered their Lava Powerhouse, he could see his half-brother fighting off the rest of the Komodo Unit and jumped off to join him; shooting out many black webs that he swung from in order to reach his half-brother Breyerkolt. With one last web shot out from his vambracer he landed a kick onto one charging knife brute, stunning him in the process and landing on both his two feet in one piece. He came forth with the first attack as he kicked him up against the liquid tube, and Breyerkolt landed the flying kick that sent the knife brute burning alive in the Dragon Root that sprayed everywhere
As the Komodo Unit would be coming in greater numbers than before, both he and his half-brother made a run into the next area where their final battle awaited. But before they can be able to leave, there was one more threat standing in their way and that was Askari who was not finished yet. Dropping down from above and standing in their way, he held a sword towards them; looking to settle the score: "I must thank you for eliminating Fuld the Fiend as you've taught me more lessons I'll bring to the grave, now let's finish this quickly so Maeve won't have the trouble of facing the two of you!" Askari of Ashes demanded as he wanted to get this over with quickly as his torment is just beginning
Landing the first strike on Askari as Mikekolt punched forward into his upperchest, giving out a uppercut afterwards against his jaw before swinging his leg around to his back; the general avoided being smacked by Breyerkolt and swung his sword towards his opponent's shield as he was bashed in the face. Some blood was shed from the tusks that sprouted out but it's not too serious as it's just a little scar
His half-brother ran up to the Dragon Flyer and kneed him in the jaw before taking him from under his shoulder, kicking out his leg and slamming their opponent down to the ground where he stomped on his face. Askari tumbled out of the way and ran forward with his sword drawn to the side, Mikekolt flipped his tomahawk right into his hand to block the attack; parrying him to the side and preforming a revolving kick to the side of his head to send him flying off
This was just beginning to become an exciting fight for him as Askari jumped behind him to land a hit on the back of his spinal cord, though this did not knock him out like before when the Komodo Unit took him in. He swung his arm back and once again Askari bent backwards avoiding the hit, although he was then kicked in the back by his clawed boot where he slid the blades across and left five slashes that bled out
Breyerkolt ran up along his shield and jumped into the air where he then extended his legs outward against Askari's torso, this is where the sounds of bones cracking was heard as increased the force of the impact from his landing. Mikekolt took advantage of this by flipping him over to the other side and throwing his body against the wall, shooting a web and forcibly throwing him over to him where he'd then swung a right hook against his cheek; spiraling him to the floor
Askari swept him to the floor and was about to turn the tables on him, but he wasn't going to be countered easily when he landed his tomahawk into his shinguard; elbowing his jaw and his nose before removing it. Jumping into the air and firing his Zipline Claw that attached on to his chest, firing a second claw towards a explosive tank in the room they fought in as it was now pulling it towards him. Askari caught it at the last second and threw it against Mikekolt as this time he was blown off from the ceiling's structure beams, falling to the floor but landing a upper kick towards his chest
Askari tackled him to the floor as he held him by the neck, strangling each other as Mikekolt landed another upper kick to the side of his skull with his clawed boot; getting him off of him and landing another web that shot out to his forehead this time around. He slammed him on his knee which had the Dragon Flyer stagger backwards, both of the half-brothers ran up to their opponent all at once and landed a uppercut to send him flying back against the wall like before. A moment of Askari recovering from the half-brother's uppercut before rushing over to attack them in one last assault effort to emerge victorious against his foe
Mikekolt deflected each of sword swings with his prosthetic left arm before blocking the last one with both his vambracer's mounted razor blades, crossing his arms as he was forced into lowering them since Askari pressed harder on his sword; soon afterwards when he got lower enough to the point where he was on his knees, he sprung back up and parried his sword off to the sides. Bashing him off to the side with his shield, he proceeded to land more than his load of heavy punches against his torso and face; rapidly and racking up the blows fast until he preformed another attack with his half-brother. He grabbed him by the neck and raised him in the air, strangling him with his increased strength thanks to his prosthetic left arm; throwing him over to Breyerkolt who slid on the ground underneath him and kicked him in the back to launch him upwards. Grabbing a explosive tank and throwing it against the Flyer as he ended this attack by preforming one last flying kick to the face, while also adding in a scissors kick against his neck to restrain him
Askari struggled for a moment before relenting, bringing out something that he's stolen from the Komodo Unit out of finding out that they've killed one of their own, they've betrayed the Dragonroot Company and because of that; he decided for a little payback as he's taken one of their most prized possessions in return for attempting to take their main threat for their own. Mikekolt took it as a sign of respect before releasing and bringing him back up, only for Askari to attempt to punch him just as he did the same; both of them striking each other at the same time with the sounds of bones crushing into dust. He got the upperhand over him as he then threw his fist against his left side and ended the fight with a uppercut that sent him flying off the catwalk down into the lava far below from where they fought, screaming his name just as he fell and vanished into the heated mist below: "CCCAAASSSSTTTLLLEEE!"
"See you in hell Askari or better yet, never" Mikekolt walked away with his half-brother Breyerkolt, they both showed remorse for the fact that he proved to be a better challenge for him than the other generals; it makes him wonder why he couldn't be the second in command rather than that rogue lieutenant Savage
As the walked down the catwalk together, Mikekolt could feel that this may be the last time he sees his half-brother alive since his instincts never lied to him; he could feel his sacrifice will come not much longer now as fate is never too kind to people like him and Drayko for they have something better planned for them. Nevertheless, they were about to face off against their destinies behind the doors
HTTYD
Maeve, the Matron of Dragons and Savage the Staunch waited at the end of the large arena as it served to be their final battle where it will all take place. A massive ring with windows that had the concoction being pumped from the tubes as well as the ingredients being mixed into the cauldrons to be boiled. The former held her sword by her side while the latter had his axe in both hands, having come equipped with the same armor used by the Komodo Unit since he can't fight fair against Mikekolt. He was through with being treated like he was nothing short of a disgraced Viking, and now it's time for him to make him suffer
"Ah so you've finally found out about the elixir and it's secrets, though it's a shame you have to leave Fuld dead at our doorstep. He knows the secret to extraction after all but I'll assume that he told you everything? I would like to fight you, really I do but there is a truth to be told since I prefer to get into an more impressive fight with your leader. You've proven your worth enough times to me so why don't I have Savage here deal with you instead, I'm still bitter in a way that the Knights turned my Buffalord against me; she reminded me of the child I lost back then. I'm not the one to become angry over things like these but I will not forget about what grudge I told against them, come and join me to see the conclusion should you still live after you had your fun with this fool; farewell for now" Maeve left to deal with Drayko in the last room before this one as Savage turned to face the two brothers
"I find it pathetic to this day that Drayko had chosen you as his student to attend a school full of lies to falsehoods about training these devils. As for your half-brother perhaps the truth of that oracle's prediction that Alesandric talked about was true after all, the warrior will bring a new age of ruining the lives of everyone by creating chaos on our home. That man had poorly chosen him when it should've been you, however that's not what concerns me anymore. The Dragons will never be apart of our society and you should learn well enough to stay out of our Archipelago, go back to where you came from and if you return then we will hunt and kill you for trying to build a new world order for us. Nothing you do is of your choice because it's us and us Dragon Hunters alone who decides what's right, I've been disrespected for my whole life and now I'll be a Viking of legend when Drayko dies starting with your deaths!" Savage indulged himself
"I told him before that the Dragon Hunters do not decide our fate or our destinies, we do not need your help in sending them back to wherever they came because this will forever be the home of the Dragons that you're so hellbent on sending to extinction. You will never be a Viking of Legend, the Dragon Hunters have no control over us and what we believe is right as you are nothing but a small, selfish, malicious-" Mikekolt was interrupted by Savage as he argued back
"The Dragon Hunters have every source of the people and their beliefs, teaming up with Drayko will be YOUR greatest mistake just as not joining this tribe had proven to be mine. Now's the time to make you know what true pain really is Castle, say goodbye to when I kill the one someone you've grown up with since your childhood!" Savage deliberately shouted as the final battle between him and the brothers began
Savage came rushing to the two Castlekroftservkhall Brothers with his axe drawn in hand as he heavily swung to his right side, Mikekolt blocked it with his sword before bringing him to the floor with his tomahawk in the process; sending a revolving kick across to his face which made him stagger over to Breyerkolt who proceeded in laying in a few punches to the face before smacking him forward with the pommel of his sword. The flash of the afterimage is enough to stun the rogue lieutenant Mikekolt took it all on himself to land multiple punches onto Savage's body which was taking in more beatings that necessary in order to defeat him. Although he recovered after one last punch to his skull, headbutting him away as he took out his axe to attack; while he was forced to deflect them all off one by one and slash as well as chop away a few pieces of his body in a matter of seconds
Using both his sword and his tomahawk at the same time, Savage felt little thanks to the powered armor he was wearing underneath his regular clothing; grabbing him by the neck and choking him to death; with Breyerkolt rushing in to rescue his half-brother by speartackling the former Outcast onto the ground, slamming both fists down heavily against his skull repeatedly without stopping Mikekolt got back up and chopped his tomahawk into his stomach, landing another blow onto his face with a upper kick using his clawed boots and mauling across his gut; damaging his few vials of darkblood connected to the armor that bulked it up to increase his strength. Nothing is short of spraying out some sparks and exploding it's connected tubes as that was enough to expose Savage of not fighting like a fair and true Viking with honor. But like Drayko since in what Archipelago except this one did he ever give a shit about that?
Humiliated he punched him in the face and threw him down where he swung his axe down onto Mikekolt's vambracers, blocking the attack with his razor blades since he will not be in the very least defeated. He parried backwards and sent a kick into his gut which caused some pain due to being slashed earlier, sweeping his clawed boot against his legs and arm before he got back to his feet. Running in to hack away with his tomahawk as he swung from left to right against more of his torso, even cutting into the side of his head a few times. Bringing out the Gauntlet of Frynir and having it on his right arm, Breyerkolt attacked from behind as he blocked the axe swing from him using his half-brother's strongest weapon in the arsenal he had. He grabbed him by the throat and increased the crushing power until Savage turned pale and was thrown against the wall, slowly coming towards him and with their opponent about to suffer the defeat that will cost him his life; he proceeded to beat down harder and harder than what he did to his brother previously upon being rescued by him out a personal grudge for not being rescued earlier
Mikekolt jumped into the air and after firing a black web to the ceiling, brought it down onto Savage who was buried underneath; though he broke out from his tomb and held his axe now furious over losing this battle he cannot win. He was then shot with a hailfire of bullet arrows that ricocheted off the walls before stabbing into his back, though he pulled one out and had it act like his knife which was kicked out of his hand by Breyerkolt; once again squeezing hard on his neck like a soaking sponge. Savage punched Breyerkolt and scratched along his face but when he reached out to take his half-brother's tsuchinoko knife, Mikekolt did for him and stabbed his hand; splurring out with blood and screaming with pain. Breyerkolt slammed him down to the floor and the two of the brothers together began to beat the fuck out of him hard, pounding to pulping into blood on their faces; Savage recovered and kicked them both off as he began to charge into Breyerkolt seeing him as the main threat, but at the last minute Mikekolt shoulder charged him out of the way to take the hit. Being grabbed and slammed to the floor
The rogue lieutenant wasted no time in throwing him over to various places of the arena they fought in, grabbed by the legs where he was slammed into the walls and floor multiple times before being thrown up into the ceiling. Yanked down to the floor with Savage using one of the nearly destroyed Gronckle Iron chains that were resting conveniently for him to use to his advantage. Breyerkolt threw his brother's tusked shield against Savage to stun him plenty of times when the cycle began again. The cycle did not stop until after Mikekolt called out to his half-brother, Breyerkolt felt the heavy burden of what happened before to him as a child and came to the rescue by sending an powerful flying revolving kick that sent Savage flying. However he then used his sword to stab through his gut multiple times before ripping off his armor that he wore to amplify the user's power by bulking up the suit to increase strength and speed, before he ended it all by tearing open a cut in his skull where he then slammed the gauntlet down to make him suffer a heavy hemorrhage blow that would heavily and severely weaken him as he lost more than a few ounces of blood from that attack
Seizing the opportunity to make Mikekolt suffer he grabbed Breyerkolt by the neck in a deep pain-inflicting strangle hold where he then proceeded to use the Gronckle Iron chain against him, throwing him into various places of the arena by grabbing him by the legs and slamming him against the walls and floors multiple times where he bled out until he threw him up into the ceiling and down against the floor. With one last throw into the ceiling again to fully and really ensure that he is killed, falling to the floor in the corner. Breykerkolt gave out a pained scream that sounded worse then what previously happened in their fight with the Priest of Bolverk but was more mucus filled due to the darkblood that is leaking out from his mouth and fully met the ground face to face. The crushing impact alone left him bloodied, battered and beaten to the bloody pulp by itself; but because Savage used the amplifying armor of the Komodo Unit to fight unfairly against the two brothers, this was what caused his death. Poseidonsplinter landed right next to him just as Mikekolt turned to face what fate had fallen upon his half-brother, seeing the dust clear up and the half-brother he wouldn't kill when they reunited with each other; Mikekolt called out in a urgent voice just as he did to him awhile back: "Breyerkolt!"
But Savage took it too far and laughed viciously at him before proceeding to mock the words he told him: "I will not lose you again Breyerkolt huh? You lied to him and it all comes to the end that you cannot save anyone of your own blood, not even your family. But I give you my greatest of sympathies because after all... he was just a slave to Drayko's falsehood view on what's right for the Archipleago and now he has died like one without realizing that he was being lied to"
Mikekolt's inner torment and anger had been building up since the threat of the Dragonroot Company was announced by him, but never had he been this pissed off before in his life as he rescued his half-brother; only to lose Breyerkolt again with no hope of saving him from the cursed fate he was not meant to have. Now he was being mocked for not being able to keep him alive up until this battle and for lying to him about Drayko's vision on what he sees in the eyes of the Archipelago. He angrily turned to face him and began to let out the longest and deadliest slobbering growl to snarling sounding roar as his darkblood bursted into flaring flames, both his sword and Phoenixripper ignited themselves into a powerful blinding color of destruction. The rays of the sun above whose heat spreaded everywhere like a shockwave began to scorch Mikekolt but didn't do a thing due to the earlier exposure of the microwave hallway that was a hellhole to him. Fueled by his rage he was growling like a predator animal and snarling like an beast that came to get it's trespassers out of it's territory for good, now he had gone too far by killing his half-brother and this time he will NOT let him live for it; it's time that he dies now as he made the last mistake he ever makes
Now with both his swords imbued with flames he spared no time in mercilessly lacerate and brutally eviscerating Savage to finish him off once and for all, violently slashing his flesh off piece by piece before moving onto chopping his blade into his skull wound to tear through his bone one by one. He was mindless and through his berserker rage state he was taking whatever life he had in him and crushing it in front of his face, recklessly stabbing both of his legs and kneecaps as he managed to disarm him and throw him over to the south exit using his swords. Leaving him to crawl and taunt him: "You are insignificant, Castle!"
Mikekolt grabbed him by the ruptured neck and smashed his head against the wreckage pile of rocks before throwing him over to the eastern side of the arena. "Your half-brother suffers this fate because of how you doomed him to follow the lies of Drayko!" Savage taunted again
Stalking forward he punched him in the face downwards and grabbed him when he tried to crawl away, stabbing both swords into his chest and throwing him to the wall where it made an makeshift seat for him to sit on. "You and everyone else along with their beliefs in what they see is right in the Archipelago belongs to the Dragon Hunters, you will not resist the truth anymore!" Savage taunted him one last time as Mikekolt spoke in his real voice
"Then how about you go and resist the truth that I am sending you back to hell where you deserve to be in?!" Mikekolt stalked his way over to him with his tomahawk in his right hand, once again strangling him on his neck and landing a headbutt towards his wound; slamming a fist towards the side of his face two times and kicking his face upwards as he coughed up some blood
Savage helplessly tried to break free out of his grasp as he cut his fingers in trying to get a grip on Mikekolt's razor blade adorned vambracers but was instead thrown against the side of the wall, being picked up by him as he got slammed towards the wall five more times and in the end was thrown over to the other side where the wreckage was and was where he stalked to his location. He tried to crawl and escape down to the pit below but was grabbed by the legs and pulled back, putting his hand against Mikekolt's face just as he grabbed him by the sides of his face; he threw him off by flicking his hand off to the side. Now meeting the snarling anger of the man whose half-brother he just killed, (L3 + R3) Mikekolt pulled back his thumbs and stabbed them both into his eyes to gouge and blind him; although this was painful it did not actually fully blind him as blood sprouted out and cascaded out of his brown eyes. He then threw his body over to the last entrance where Drayko and Maeve dueled
Just as Savage stood up an axe was thrown into his chest and stuck out deeply inside of his body, Dagur the Derranged had come to deliever the final blow to him as although he will deny Mikekolt his revenge; it's the Komodo Unit that's his real enemy as they're the ones who built the armor and now it's going to be them who faces their wrath
"Dagur... why, how could you betray the Outcasts and Berserker Tribe?" Savage was on the verge of begging for his life
"I came to save you from this psychotic little bastard here, be thankful that I'm the one who is doing the execution here; the Komodo Unit is the one who deserves his wrath, not you" Dagur admitted to denying Mikekolt of his revenge and crossed his arms
"Don't do it... Your Derangness" Savage begged him
"Have you forgotten about what I am? I am powerless against you but as I stated before I hate cowards to the point of breaking their necks in front of crowds of my people, now you can be apart of the Nothing Tribe instead of being a nobody in the eyes of the Archipelago. Now you can tell me that I never respect my elders, because you're off the hook..." Dagur smiled in the end with a calm and seemingly happy tone in his voice
"NO! Don't do it... I don't want to go!" Savage begged for his life like a coward as he started to wet himself as evidence by the steam coming from his pants
"Goodbye" Dagur snapped his finger where he then had Shattermaster and Sleuther fire all at once against Savage while also detonating the hidden explosive inside of his axe, blowing up in a fiery explosion where the remains of him blew away in the dust. Turning to Mikekolt he saw that he was looking at the body of Breyerkolt who lied on the ground. "Another life that was taken by the Komodo Unit eh? Give them hell and I recommend not to destroy any of the weapons or their vehicles they got, I'll just... put them in the armory" Dagur placed a hand on his shoulder and told him the reason not to destroy any of their equipment or arsenal, as he might find some use for them
HTTYD
Looking up to him with that look on his face Dagur offered to stay by Breyerkolt's side as he's not dead just yet, not until he has his final words with him. Mikekolt moved on to the exit to the north before arriving to see the exciting conclusion of the final battle between Drayko as well as Maeve who had taken the beaten from him well enough. Having nothing left to keep him back from interfering in the face he fired off a black web that vertically up from the top to the bottom, this is what the fight looked like now:
Drayko flanked the Matron of Dragons with Inferno drawn out into his hands, slashing across her side as well as releasing some smoke to block her view; detonating it into a explosion as he stabbed through her knee in order to divert her attention away. She did of course counter a few of his moves but since she was dealing with a man who killed a god, this duel between them was nothing short of being an losing battle to keep the Dragonroot Company alive; the battle outside had gone on in the hours of the daylight that still kept it's darkened look out in the horizon
Maeve was not able to split her attention to the diversion that Mikekolt had given to aid their leader and Drayko's sudden attacks which allowed her to be cut in the knee pit, causing a bit of blood to emerge out from underneath her armor. She was still strong enough to take more punishment from him as she mocked him: "Your suffering will never end" Maeve made the last she ever made by saying those words to him for she was not aware of the journey that Drayko was taking on, benefiting him with the adventure he could never become bored of
Drayko parried another slash downwards from Maeve's sword to the other side and managed to land another burning cut deeply into her thigh, bleeding out as she was uppercutted in the jaw and sent backwards with a kick. She charged forth with her vengefulness being the fuel that made her fight as she will not go down without avenging her lost child, but Drayko will not go down until the Buffalord family that she killed out of fury of losing her own is avenged
Maeve was then speartackled as she and Drayko continued to fight without control over their duel as it was all a matter of fate of who would win victorious. She was able to get him off of her by throwing him to the wall, but Drayko jumped off to launch forward as he swept her off the floor; horizontally jumping into the black web and swinging around to send another kick that had her flying against the wall of her main headquarters. Some of the wall came crashing down and she stood weakly with blood leaking down her lips while her facepaint was being smeared off by her. Drayko walked over to her as she began to tell him
"I'm sure you know what it means to lose a family member such as your Night Fury, I admit that Drago was unwise to have betrayed you in the deal he made to return him to you with the exchange being the objects needed to ascend to godhood. But what are you trying to prove? You've erased our buisness from the Archipelago only to take our lessons and start the practice of the ancient times that's better off being forgotten by the sands of time. Is this what you're after?" Maeve asked him
"All I am after is revenge against that old man who calls himself a chief and a father when he has never been one to me, I was the one betrayed by my tribe and it's one that they're going to pay for. His name is Stoick the Vast and his blood no longer flows in my veins, this Night Fury that I've tamed since I was a teenager has been my brother for a long time; you always have a choice Maeve and I've chosen mine to unite each and everyone of them into a place where they can't be used against their will both physically, mentally and chemically restrained by their masters. I've given them freedom and the choice to decide what's right while you've done nothing but try to lead them into expanding your selfishness, this is what I used to look like underneath the mask" Drayko argued with her as he removed his mask
"So it looks like that Hiccup Horrible Haddock III lives as I've heard about the missing son of Chief Stoick, died on the nest where Red Death once reigned" Maeve insulted him by his name
"You can insult me about my true identity, but when you go and slaughter an abandoned nest as well as take a child away from the parents who weren't there to witness what happened; you've gone too far that time. Since you're willing to have your lost child back, then it's time that I reunite him with you" Drayko held Inferno over him and stabbed her in the chest, getting a yelp of pain from her as she looked up to him
"That's just too nice of you to be concerned about all of that, but do me one thing: take care of my Buffalord since I understand it's my fault for killing her siblings while her parents are nowhere to be found that day. That will not stop me from... ensuring the Dragon Hunters are back into their former selves, we've given them enough support... to help them return... back to action... worry no more my child; your mother will join you right away..." With her final words, Maeve revealed that the Dragon Hunters have gotten enough arrows to return to their former selves which turned out to be true
Drayko removed Inferno and stood victorious as he brought down the Matron of Dragons in the many sacrifices made to ensure the destruction of the Dragonroot Company, now it was time to shut down the operations for good. He turned to Mikekolt who helped in shooting that black web before telling him: "I know what happened as I felt that he was killed by Savage, now he can burn in hell for what he's done. You may not have your revenge now but listen to me when I say this: he sacrificed himself for you and you alone, find the escape route now because I'm shutting down the Dragonroot Company. Bring his body back with you and we'll give him a proper burial your own way"
Mikekolt did not respond as he nodded and left the area, returning back to where Breyerkolt lied on the ground; picking him up as he heard some coughing from him, blood splintering on his shoulder guard razor blades. "Brother... has the..." He asked
"Yes, the Dragonroot Company has been shutdown and Maeve the Matron of Dragons is no more; she's gone off to the afterlife to join her child she lost. Everything's alright now and I'm taking you out of their headquarters" Mikekolt told him
"A fearsome warrior never let's himself hit the ground with his back, he always stands tall even when he is about to die a bloodied and beaten death; never letting their back hit the ground or let his spirit be broken by the fall of someone close to you should they ever die once. Looks like I'm that warrior in those words, a true warrior I'd say; but what's going to happen to you after I'm gone?" Breyerkolt asked him
"I've been denied revenge against Savage thanks to Dagur, now I'm going to take it out on the Komodo Unit since they've built the armor; but they were no different then Savage, worse in comparison to him. I'm going to make sure they never attack us both again" Mikekolt told him
"Never stop fighting brother... that's what makes us bond and live isn't it...?" Breyerkolt told him in his final breath before slowly passing away peacefully, no matter the wounds he sustained from their fight
Mikekolt understood and closed his eyes with his fingers before moving on out of the room through the exit that led down to the hangar where a tunnel led outside to the end, the whole base is going to be collapsing very soon so now's the chance to get out why they can alive. Drayko and Toothless in the meantime began to tear down the core without hesitation, firing multiple plasma bolts that destroyed the supports of the island while being joined in by his student's Dragons who came to not only destroy the base but the entire island so that no Dragon Hunter may ever use this island for their base of operations ever again. As soon as there was a crash, it was time to get out of here
Toothless fired a plasma bolt into the ceiling and took Drayko out of the island safely while the rest followed his lead, he knew that Mikekolt and Axethor would be out of there soon. He knew the two of them would survive because he was the one who led the assault and he was the one who was looking to impress him since day one when first attending, it all ends here in the morning
Unfortunately just like Deimos from God of War: Ghost of Sparta as I've based him off from, he just had to die but in the end he saved his half-brother from taking that fate he would've shared again. He had been nearly killed once by Alesandric but he would not be killed again, I wanted to kill him off not to make Mikekolt feel like this was his responsibility; but for him to know about the blunt force like trauma that would torment him until he understood the true reasoning behind his death, and why he had to die on him. It could be one whole conspiracy from behind the curtains but that would confusing wouldn't it?
To tell you the truth yes it would be as Katetiburon might've been involved as if everything is staged, but he never was told once about the truth at all. In fact it was mentioned before that she was supposed to kill whoever learned anything from the crisis in this Archipelago, more or less she was supposed to kill him but broke off from what she was told and decided to leave before disappearing without a trace back in Columbia
The influence of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has gotten it's grip on this story and that's what you're going to see in the final chapter with the events that follow, Mikekolt is no Big Boss but he is his own character; one who lives to the fullest in fighting in the battles that would be won by himself and one who desires to prove that he deserves to be more than being disregarded as a Viking only. He wanted to show the Archipelago that this is what he and various other people can become with the knowledge that his bloodline gathers, he will be the man he chooses to be rather than what others force him to be. That is what he seeks for himself
I hope you understand that because as I will always say, Mikekolt is not a Gary Stu from the start; he was supposed to be a man whose influenced by his journey to start the Titan Uprising and he needed closure from the horrible memories of being tortured back in Darkheart Prison which didn't always look like the prison it was before. It looked like an larger prison like Blackgate Prison with it's various rooms, but the tests of time have not been too kind to it as you'll see in Trials of the King's Lost Treasures
If you have anything to tell me about the protagonist then do not state that he's a Gary Stu and he has always been, I cannot stress that enough because I hate people calling him that. It's lies like that which will have your guest reviews deleted and not accepted by me
