(Laugardgr, Goi; Afternoon)
(Berk; The Village)
Hiccup knew there was confusion, shock, and perhaps anger radiating around the Great Hall. Almost two years later since he started the job, and the secret was out that he was Drage Riddari. At first, no one believed him except those who did know for sure. After Hiccup revealed Toothless to them and seeing the dragon, a Night Fury of all dragons, respond to commands and be introduced as Toothless; no one could deny that Hiccup spoke the truth, and he was Drage Riddari, the Dragon Master. Of course, there were a lot of questions, but everyone knew that this is something Hiccup had been working at for a while now, and they needed to step back and let him handle it. Many already discovered that this was the other business Hiccup was always talking about. Hiccup was trying to stop Drago Bludvist from taking over the world with dragons, and this was why he didn't want to be Chief yet.
"Son?" Stoick stepped closer to Hiccup now, hesitantly as Toothless was still beside him. Hiccup glanced over. "You're…Drage Riddari?" he asked.
"I am," Hiccup nodded once.
"Why…Didn't you say anything?" Stoick inquired. Toothless growled a little, focusing outside of the door.
"Stoick, I don't believe this is the best time," Valka stated. Drago was up and running towards his fleet of ships yelling. Emerging from the water was a large dragon as everyone grew worried. "Son, he's looking for a fight," she informed.
"No kidding?" Hiccup remarked.
"What's the plan, Hiccup?" Colden asked.
"This will be by no means easy…Not even I predict or even guess how this will go," Hiccup contemplated his next move carefully. "He's rounding up the dragons for a full-scale attack on Berk…Protecting the island and my Tribe is of the highest priority…" he paused a moment before looking at Colden and Krogan. "Round up the boys, dragon defense line in front of the Tribe and visiting guests," Hiccup ordered as he headed out of the Great Hall and over to his house.
"Yes, sir!" Colden and Krogan nodded.
"Where are you going?!" Mogadon yelled.
"None ya business. I'll be right back," Hiccup turned and headed towards his house.
Hiccup knew he'd be explaining things after this was over, whenever it ended. Hiccup didn't know how things would go; he and Drago were going to be about evenly matched with their Bewilderbeasts; it would come down to whichever one won and was known as Alpha. If Drago's won; Hiccup didn't know what he'd do. Hiccup didn't know what he could fight with at that point, but he did know that the peace of the world for humans and dragons alike, fell on his shoulders.
Hiccup went to his house to chance outfits; he needed his Drage Riddari suit for this because it was equipped with all his tools. This was going to be a big fight, and Hiccup desperately prayed that he could handle it. Hiccup finished the last pieces as he stepped out finding things set up how he requested.
"Hey, Toothless!" Hiccup called as the Night Fury bounded over to him. "Ready to stop this, bud?"
"I'm with you," Toothless crooned.
"Hiccup, we want to help," Brenna instantly tried with worry in her tone.
Hiccup shook his head. "There is nothing you can do. You can't train or ride dragons, and you can't face that thing. Let me handle this. I told you a while back that this is not your fight,"
"You can't do this alone, Hiccup," Stoick stated.
"I'm not alone…I'm never alone. But this is my battle, and my job is to keep you safe, so stay back…And let me work," Hiccup said; he leaned over and kissed Brenna deeply. "I love you,"
"I love you too. Be safe," Brenna remarked as Hiccup made his way to Toothless, throwing a leg over and grabbing his helmet from the bag.
"I can't make you that promise, but I will vow that this ends today," Hiccup slipped his mask on. "Let's go, bud!" Hiccup urged. Toothless darted into the sky.
"Let's see what you've got, Dragon Master!" Drago grinned. "My dragon is the Alpha!"
"Maybe you defeated my mother's, but you haven't defeated mine!" Hiccup yelled as he grabbed his black staff, waving it around as it gave off a whistle.
"There's another one!?" The Chieftains yelled.
"Val…Did you know Hiccup was Drage?" Stoick asked.
"Yes, so did his friends and Brenna…" Valka nodded. From the water emerged a white Bewilderbeast. The two large dragons began roaring at one another.
"Hiccup controls that thing?" Dagur blinked.
"Gods, no…They work together," Krogan rolled his eyes. The two Bewilderbeast started fighting one another as Hiccup and Drago were doing the same on the ground. Toothless was watching from the sky with a few others; the battle went on a good five minutes, but Drago's Bewilderbeast shoved Hiccup's down forcefully.
"Iceshot!" Hiccup took his eyes off Drago for just a moment with concern for his friend. Drago kicked Hiccup back hard as he hit a building and ground, shaking his head. The black Bewilderbeast reared back and pierced the white one with his tusks. "NO!" Hiccup scrambled to get to Iceshot, panting. Toothless landed beside Hiccup now, warbling with sadness. Hiccup ripped off his mask, throwing it aside carelessly.
"Take care of them, Hiccup," Iceshot said weakly.
"No…No…You can't die. Please, I need you," Hiccup pleaded.
"Defeat him, and bring peace," Iceshot panted.
"I can't…Not without you," Hiccup said.
"Yes, you can, Hiccup. You have more power than you think, but you must believe in yourself. You and Toothless, together, can defeat Drago and his Bewilderbeast. Do not forget the gifts you have," Iceshot stated as he grunted, and his eyes began to close.
"No…No…Come on, please! Don't die…Everything I am is because of you…I wouldn't have this without you, Iceshot," Hiccup reminded.
"I only enhanced what you already had, Hiccup. Your desire to see peace brought you this far. Fight and win. Remember who you are," Iceshot's voice got slower and faded off. His eyes closed as he took his last breath.
"Iceshot…?" Hiccup asked. Nothing. "Iceshot?..." he tried again, but nothing. "Iceshot! No!" Hiccup yelled.
"He's gone, Hiccup…" Toothless hung his head low before letting out a mournful roar to the others on the island. All the dragons, not under the black Bewilderbeasts control hung bowed their heads.
"Oh no…" Valka sighed.
"What…What's happening, Valka?" Stoick asked.
"Hiccup's Bewilderbeast, Iceshot, has been killed…Making Drago's Bewilderbeast the Alpha. The dragons will follow him, and this battle is no longer in our grasp to win…Not unless Hiccup has another Bewilderbeast around to fight with, but they are very rare as it is, so the chances of that are slim to none," Colden explained. The black Bewilderbeast roared out, as all the dragons listened to the call, flying up and joining the group above. Toothless, though, remained with Hiccup.
"You see, boy…You do not have the power as I do. He who controls the Alpha controls them all…You are nothing," Drago sneered. "So sorry about your friend…" Hiccup grit his teeth, his hands forming into fists at his sides as he shook violently. "Take control of the Night Fury," Drago ordered his Bewilderbeast. The dragon tried, but Toothless was unphased. "What's this?"
Hiccup slowly rose to his feet, eyes closed. "You're right, Drago. I don't have the power you do…" Hiccup said in a voice that everyone barely heard. "You do not control that dragon; you raised it from birth to follow commands, but at any time; it can refuse you and fight back. You don't have a bond as I do with Toothless, and that is why he cannot be overtaken by the Alpha's control,"
"Every dragon listens to the Alpha!" Drago yelled.
"Toothless listens to me as we're bonded as allies and friends. Toothless won't fall under the Bewilderbeasts control unless I'm dead…" Hiccup informed.
"What you speak of is impossible," Drago remarked.
"Is it now?" Hiccup challenged as his eyes changed to slits and Drago flinched back a bit. "You think you've won, but you haven't. Even with all those dragons; I can still win," Drago went for his bullhook as Hiccup ignited Inferno, hurling it forward and keeping Drago's hand back; he growled a little. "This is over. I'll give you one chance to surrender,"
"Never!" Drago glared. "Get him!" the black Bewilderbeast opened its mouth.
"Ut-oh…" Hiccup went to step back. Ice shot forward at Hiccup.
"HICCUP!" Toothless screeched as Hiccup ducked low, covering himself. Toothless jumped over him last second as the two were encased in ice.
"NO!" Valka and Brenna screamed. "Hiccup!"
"Son!" Stoick panicked. Valka was trying to break apart the ice with her fists. Drago only chuckled darkly.
"Hey…What's that light in the ice?" Colden asked. From within the center of the ice was a blue light, glowing, and growing larger. Valka gasped as she quickly backed up with Brenna.
"Shield yourselves!" Krogan ordered, everyone turned to avoid the explosion that took place. As the smoke cleared, Toothless was seen unraveling, but there was a neon glow going down his spines, in his nostrils, and throat. Toothless roared out as the Bewilderbeast did the same back. Under Toothless's wings was Hiccup, who was panting and looking at him.
"Are you alright?" Toothless asked.
"I think so…" Hiccup nodded.
"Good…Now stand back…I won't allow this to continue. The Alpha protects them all; this dragon is no Alpha…" Toothless remarked as he prepared to jump. Hiccup scooted back and struggled to get to his feet as Valka, Stoick, and Brenna rushed to his aid. Toothless stood in front, glaring, and roaring.
"He's…Challenging the Alpha!" Hiccup blinked.
"To protect you!" Valka stated quickly. Toothless fired about five blasts of rapid fire at the Bewilderbeast, keeping it back. The dragons overhead began to stop and watch as Toothless fired two more shots before backing up towards Hiccup, roaring out. The dragons roared in response, now flying over the island instead of the Bewilderbeast.
"No…No!" Drago shouted as he grabbed his bullhook and ran to get on the dragon's tusk. "Fight back! Fight! What's the matter with you!?" he raged.
Hiccup stepped forward next to Toothless. "Now do you get it! This is what it is to earn a dragon's loyalty. Let this end, now!"
"NO! NEVER! Come on!" Drago urged his dragon forward, roaring at Toothless. Hiccup got on Toothless's back as he waved his staff around, creating a whistling sound. The dragon saw Toothless charging a blast as they did the same. Hiccup directed his staff at the Bewilderbeast. Drago's eyes widened.
"FIRE!" Hiccup ordered. Toothless shot his blast, and then immediately after; the dragons fired theirs. It was a barrage of fireballs before the Bewilderbeast rose above, roaring. Toothless fired one more, breaking the tusk off. The black dragon reared back, surprised. Toothless and Hiccup roared together before the Bewilderbeast shook Drago off, then dove off the island back into the water and swimming off.
The dragons around landed somewhere, remaining calm as Drago struggled to get up. However, Hiccup stood before him. "The Alpha protects them all, and a Chief protects his own," he remarked coldly.
"You won't get away with this! I'll…Defeat you," Drago lunged forward, tackling Hiccup down. The two fought for a little bit before Hiccup got the upper hand and kicked Drago back. Hiccup got to his feet as the two of them faced one another. "What are you! There is no way a runt like you can be this strong!"
"That is one of my many secrets that you don't get to know," Hiccup said now. "All you need to know is that I won't let you win. You won't hurt the dragons, and you won't hurt my people or the other Tribes. Now give up, Drago. You're done…If you persist…Well, I stand by what I said when this started. You won't like the outcome…" Hiccup turned and went to walk away.
Drago grabbed his bullhook, throwing it at Hiccup. "Son! Look out!" Stoick yelled. Hiccup had his back turned, but it didn't change anything. Hiccup's eyes opened, revealing slits to anyone standing in front of him. Hiccup whipped around grabbing the bullhook inches before it struck him in the chest. Hiccup snapped the bullhook over his knee as Drago stood up, panting.
"I'm not done!" Drago demanded.
"Yes, you are," Hiccup said calmly. "And I shall show you why you have no power against me," he moved his hands so that his palms were facing one another in front of his chest. There was a spark between them, and then it formed a ball of fire. "Being healed by dragons tends to have its perks…And this is one of many I possess…" Hiccup shot his arms out as there was a stream of short fire that thrust into Drago, knocking him back and off the edge of the island.
"Shall I retrieve him, Chief?" Krogan asked. Hiccup gave a single nod as Krogan whistled for his Singetail; jumping on it's back and diving over the edge. Seconds later; he returned with Drago and set him down before Hiccup. "I don't assume we need a trial to go over what this man has done. Two votes; he lives or dies," Krogan asked.
"He dies," the Chieftains said together, minus Hiccup, who grabbed a bow and single arrow.
"Done," Hiccup retorted as he drew the arrow back on the string. Hiccup hesitated only a moment, shaking his head clear of all thoughts before firing. The arrow pierced Drago through the skull as he fell dead. Hiccup tossed the bow aside.
"We'll take care of it, Chief," Krogan informed alongside Colden. Hiccup nodded as Toothless came beside him, warbling softly.
"Get me out of here, bud," Hiccup asked.
"You got it," Toothless said. Hiccup got on Toothless's back as the Night Fury bolted into the sky and went out of sight past the clouds.
"Um…What?!" Eret exclaimed.
"We all want an explanation, but I think for now…Hiccup could use a little time to himself," Stoick remarked. Unable to disagree, everyone began to disperse slowly. The battle was over; Hiccup defeated Drago, but there was still a lot to talk about and understand regarding the situation. For the moment; this situation was over.
