3 Days before...
It was 1 year ago since banishment of Snotlout and Hiccup and Astrid were engaged and the marrige was in 3 days. Preperations were going on both in the Village and in the Base. Since this was kind off a VIP marrige the defenses where doubled. This means instead of 2 C-Ram's there where 5 in the Village. An Air patrol was established, 4 F-16's flew in groups of 2 in a radius of 15 Kilometers around the Island. Abrams and Leopard Tanks took Positions in trenches along the Beaches. Soldiers took positions in defensive positions called Menhier. there where 3 Menhier Commands. Menhier-5, 6 and 7. All 3 had the same equipment, M1A2 Abrams, Leopard 2A7, mounted M2, mounted MK-19, about 60 Grunts armed with HK416 and M249. And usualy 4 IFVs likely Bradley's and Air Support with Apache Longbow's. The Command center of each Menhier was about 1 Kilometer behind the actual defense position.
In the Village all the Villagers where doing their chores or where helping the Couple to prep their marrige. The mothers of Astrid, Ruff and Tuff, Fishlegs and some others helped Astrid with her dress and gave her tips how to act while the marrige and then how to act as wife. The Village and especcially the great hall where decorated in white for Wedding vibes. Double the amount of Soldiers where patroling around the Village and military engeneers helped to build up the wedding. The only thing that was missing was the Navy wich was rearming and refueling their Ships. This means no Missile cover, no Air defense besides the one on Berk, no aditional Aircraft (F/A-18) and the most important thing was that the sea was comepletely unprotected. So an Invasion fleet could come and attack and the only defensese where the Tanks on the beachesand some Aircraft but with limited ammunition.
"Okey Astrid you need to listen now really carefully, because you're going to need this on your wedding" Astrid's mother said to her while she was washing her hair. "If he wants something you don't fight back but let him do what ever he wants because you're the wife" the mother of the Twins said and Astrid nodded but she knew Hiccup wasn't like that, he respected her, he wouldn't do this. "And you are going to make him a beautifull and strong baby boy to take his place as Chief after he gives it away" the mother of Fishlegs added and Astrid went pail red at the thought of her and Hiccup making a child together. That Astrid was nearly raped if it wasn't for the Soldiers and for a long time everyone besides the Soldiers, Hiccup and Stoick, thought that Astrid was actually Raped and everyone didn't want their kids to go to the Training wich she was leading until Hiccup lost it. He gathered all villsgers and yelled at them as hard as he could and it actually worked. Most of them started to respect her again. the MOST.
"Soldiers this is maybe the most Important Event of this Operation. We NEED to assure the safety for the VIP couple. Hold your eyes open Soldiers and report any suspicious activity because there aren't any UAV's in the air and the Navy can't support us until 48h. This means we're on our own but we aren't helpless or week. We are the god damn BlackDragons, the best of the fucking best. Now go and do your Job, do it right and we will be victorious" Jack Cooper said to the battalion and the Soldiers all did the salut and went on.
Wedding Day
"Status Soldier" Cooper asked the Soldier next to him with a tablet in his hands. "Well sir, the preperations are cmoplete. The Airforce is ready to take anything down what shouldn't be in our Airspace. The tanks are all loaded up with HE-rounds, MK-19 with HE-Grenades, M2's with HE rounds, Apaches full loaded with 70mm Hydras and
AGM-114's. C-Ram's ready and fully loaded, they have the Order to shoot everything down if something goes wrong, only you sir can give the final order. We have reenforcement units to reenforce the Menhier Defens Positions" The Soldier responded and had shown Cooper the tablet. "Well then, let's go to a wedding" Cooper nodded and replied with a smirk.
Hiccup waited alongside Davis and near Stoick, for Astrid. She came with her Father on to the Paltform where Hiccup was. He took her hands and as Stoick opened his mouth to say something 4 APC's (Armored Personel Carrier) rolled past the crowd followed by 2 Abrams Tanks and 3 Bradley IFV's (Infantrie Fighting Vehicle). An Apache Longbow flew over their heads. "Sir we need to leave, NOW" A soldier said to Cooper. Cooper took the Radio of one of the Soldiers "What the hell is Happening over there?" he asked. "Here is Menhier-6 Command. There is a massive Invasion Fleet and some of them are riding Dragons, over" the response came in a scream of stress and there were heard gunshots. "Where is the Airforce god damnit? We need Air-Suporrt ASAP" the soldier continuied over his Radio.
Cooper was driven to the Base in the Situation-Room. "Commander McKinsey where the hell are your Aircraft?" He demanded. "Cooper we're under Attack by Dragons we have our Fighters in their Hangars we already lost half of the F-15's we can't lose more" The Base Commander replied. Cooper looked arround as the next radio call came in. "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday Here is Hunter 1-1 we're going down i repeat we're going down. I don't know where they know from but they trained Dragons-" the call cut off because they crashed.
The Villagers stood there with an questoning expression on their faces. Then there was the sound off a 20mm C-Ram cannon firing. BRRRRRRRT. A red line was seen and then the line exploded slowly amd killed multiple Dragons in the air shooting them down. Anti-Air Missiles sreamed up and the Villagers went into their Houses. Hiccup saddled Toothless and flew over to the Base into the Situation-Room. As he bursted in another radio call came in. "This is Menhier-5 Comand. we are falling back to secondary defdenses. Multiple Tanks destroyed and enemy Troops landed on the beach established a Brigde-Head. Apaches falling like flies". Hiccup watched with wide eyes as he heard that a little army just got overrun. "Here is Menhier-7. Menhier-7 Comand isn't responding. I think they where hit by Dragons" Another shocking Radio call and then another and another. "Menhier-6 Command isn't responding. Menhier-6 has fallen i repeat the defense Position Mehier-6 has fallen, over" a call came in and let the Commander sigh. All people in that room looked at him waiting for an Order. "call in the Ospreys. All you can get. we're going to extract everyone and then Bomb it with the Navy as soon as they come into the Village" The soldiers looked at him and then nodded and one of them called in some Ospreys. The only thing they could do now was wait and hear as their men fall one after another. "Here Menhier-5. We're falling back to base we can't hold it anymore. I'm Sorry" This was the Last call from Menhier-5.
As soon as the last Civilian came into the base Cooper gave out a Radio call. "This is General Cooper to all remaining Defensive Units abandon your positions and fall back to the Base. We are abandoning Berk" he said with a heavy Voice and Hiccup looked up on him. "What NOO we need to stay and defend our People" He said full of determination. "if we don't leave now, there isn't going to be any people to defend left" Cooper replied and grabbed his shoulders.
