Chapter 38: Peace and Hope
Mira's life of Berk is thrilling. Each passing day was a whole new adventure. Berk was a never-ending road of fun and discovery. When Trader Johann came here, he brought many items that interested everyone. Snotlout pointed out that Johann never allow him touched his cool stuff. And Hiccup reminded him that the last time Johann was here, Snotlout broke some of them, which Snotlout said that it's his words against Johann's. Everyone started trading the items and materials they need and want. Mira got a new saddle bag after he old one was torn up. Gobber bought a pile of scrap metal since he was running out somethings to pound. And Tuffnut found a mace that he named 'Macey' and that she completes him. Mira was disturbed yet relief, knowing that Tuffnut has found a…new love interest and he won't bother Mira for a while.
But on the next day, everyone's valuables were stolen like goblets, swords, axes, and shields and everything that has metal were gone. Tuffnut was crying his eyes out when he lost Macey. He was so dramatic that he even blames Ruffnut, thinking that she stole his mace because he thought that Ruffnut was jealous, which she is not.
Hiccup, Astrid, Mira, and X decided to investigate the situation. The first place they went was Gobber's forge. Gobber didn't know who it could be since business was booming because Snoggletog is almost here. There was no evidence of footprints or anything to the thief. Gobber believes that thief won't get the best of him because he set up traps in his forge, however, he steps on one them and told everyone not to move since there were multiple crossbows pointing at Gobber.
Next, they set off to the Thorston house where Tuffnut shows them Macey's spot. It was decorated with drawings and flowers and told them that this was her favorite spot, even though it was just a mace. Tuffnut thinks that it was Ruffnut, but she said that she didn't take his stupid mace, but Tuffnut cuts her off saying that this spot was Macey's favorite. They find it weird even for the Twins, but Ruffnut told them to leave her out of this. They investigate the house but couldn't find any evidence of force entry. Ruffnut believes it was a 'Ghost Metal Thief' which was not useful. They decided to investigate in the morning since it was getting late.
But later that night, Mira was awakened by the sound of dragon chattering. She sits up and saw a Smothering Smokebreath on her bed. Mira recognize the Smokebeathe as Ashly when Mira was washed up at Breakneck Bog. Ashley came here in hopes to get help from the mermaid because the nest that has Smokebreath eggs were stolen. Mira understood now who stole the metals and had to the tell the others. When morning came, everyone lost more of their metals including their helmets, shoulder pads, and bracers. Snotlout felt that he was naked without his helmet and Tuffnut agreed before telling them that he drew the thief from his dream, but it turns out, he just drew himself.
That's when Hiccup came and told everyone that the thief or thieves are adolescence Smokebreath dragons. And to prove it, Mira came with Ashley as she told them that Ashley came here to search for a missing nest that was stolen from her home. Mira made sure that everyone think that it was Kishi who did the translating since they except for Astrid, Gothi, Kishi, and X can never know that she's a mermaid. Then Gobber came running out from his shop, saying that the scrap metal that he got from Trader Johann were gone. And that's when they found out how. They confronted Johann and asked him how he got the scarp metal. It took a while to answer when Stoick gave him a glare. Johann told them that he got it from Insanity Soldier near Breakneck Bog.
After getting the information, the Riders went to the Academy to think of a plan to get the Smokebreaths and their metal back. They decided to set a trap of metals including Snotlout's spare helmet. Once they set the trap, the adolescence Smokebreath came to get the metals and Ashley was going to talk to them and take them home until the twins ruined the plan by attacking them Smokebreaths, causing the dragons to escape. They all gave chase, Hiccup and Toothless were able to find the nest and headed to Berk to tell the others. However, Mira and Sapphire saw the Insanity clan armada coming to Berk.
Mira told Hiccup about it and Hiccup put the pieces of the puzzles together. Edgar must've used the Smokebreath to take their metal, so Berk can be defenseless. They don't have much time when the Insanity armada strike. Tuffnut suggested that they should cut themselves in half so they can be twice as many. That didn't sound right, until Hiccup an idea. Instead of fighting against the Smokebreath, they make the Smokebreath with them. Hiccup told everyone to gather any metal that they have left, so his plan could work. So, they gather all the metal they have and uses it to lure the Smokebreaths away from Berk to the Insanity Armada. All the metals that were keeping the boats intact were gone and caused the whole armada to fall apart. And Edgar had to float away on a piece of a board that was left of the boat.
The Riders were able to return most of the town's metal, including Macey, and Tuffnut was very glad to see her. Ashley had to bring the young Smokebreaths home, but they wouldn't listen to her since they wanted the metal. So, they made a plan to use the scrap metal bait on Johann's ship to lure away the Smokebreaths towards Breakneck Bog, much to Johann's dismay.
Although, some days, there was sadness. When Hiccup made a device called the Thunder Ear, it was made to locate the Screaming Death through its scream. Stoick testes it out and it work when he heard Fishlegs singing from a distance. Stoick believes it can help them hear enemy ships, until her heard a gossip from Gobber in a distance. He heard Gobber saying how useless Stoick would be without him, which annoys and somewhat angers Stoick.
Later, they heard a strange sound from a distance. They followed it and found three baby Thunderdrums. Hiccup thinks they were cool but immediately regrets it when those same baby Thunderdrums came to Berk and caused mayhem. They were stopped by Tundra and Thornado before taken to Ber's Dragon Academy to be tamed after Stoick was planning to take the Thunderdrums to another location.
Although, training baby Thunderdrums is harder than it seems…okay, make it really hard. For you see, the Thunderdrum babies didn't pay attention to other dragons or humans. Though, the Thorston twins loved them as they given the three Thunderdrums names. The green one is 'Bing', the blue one is 'Bam', and the purple one was named 'Lloyd'. But the name didn't stick and Fishlegs suggested that the third one should be named 'Boom' to be more legit and logical to the other two. Though, the Twins still thinking it should be Lloyd or Darren.
Their training with the baby Thunderdrums didn't go so well since they didn't pay attention and would fly away. But they all stopped when Thornado and Tundra came in and helped the Riders calm the hyper Thunderdrums down, much to the Thorston Twins' disappointment. However, when Stoick came to pick up Thornado and left, the Bing, Bang, and Boom went after him. Tundra and the others have to chase after them as the young hatchlings caused havoc in the village, which they did. That was the last straw for Stoick as he told the riders, Kishi, and X that the Thunderdrum hatchlings have to go.
So, they brought the hatchlings to Dragon Island where they will live now, but just when they were about to leave, they notice wild dragons attacking the three hatchlings. That realize that the Thunderdrum triplets were out at the sea stacks because they were chased there by other wild dragons. They quickly acted as they fought off the wild dragons, finishing them off with a combined Sonic Blast from Thornado and the triplets. The victory is short-lived until more dragons begins to show up. Everyone begins to worry because they cannot take the Thunderdums back to Berk and yet they can't leave them alone. Then Stoick along Mira decided to do the right thing.
They're going to set Thornado and Tundra free.
They saw how how Bing, Bam, and Boom look up them, as if they were their parents. And they need parents to watch over the three Thunderdrums. While the choice was hard for them, it was the right thing to do. Stoick removes the saddle of Thornado's back before getting on Toothless as they all headed back to Berk while Stoick and Mira waves goodbye to the Thunderdrum family.
That was the saddest moments for Mira, especially for the family.
Even life can be sad, there were many challenges. For instants Dragon Riders and X were preparing how to handle an ambush attack exercise, where Gobber, Bucket and Mulch did the catapults on the forest. Gobber was excited since nothing like starting the morning with a good ambush. When the Riders and X were in their field of vision, Gobber and the others fire the catapults. They manage to destroy and dodge the catapults. And that's when Hiccup orders the Riders to retreat. As they did, there was one who didn't listen at all
Snotlout Jorgenson.
The Jorgenson boy disobeys Hiccup's orders and choose to engage the enemy. But his action caused one of the catapults to fire a stowaway boulder, knocking Astrid off her dragon as she falls to her doom. Luckily, X saves her just a nick of time before setting her down safely. Astrid didn't get hurt, however, Snotlout's arrogant nearly got her killed. And Snotlout didn't care because he was busy boasting, and Astrid was going to end him if it wasn't for Mira who stopped the Shieldmaiden from murdering Snotlout.
Hiccup was very angry by this. That was the last straw and after Snotlout's reckless actions in the exercises, Hiccup decides to suspend Snotlout from the Academy, which shocked everyone, except for the Twins. They have plans on using Snotlout and Hookfang's pen. However, Snotlout disobeys and rides his dragon behind Hiccup's back and sets off flying elsewhere.
Astrid told Hiccup that he didn't have to do that for her. But Hiccup said in a matter-of-factly tone that if they can't count on Snotlout during practice, how can they possibly count on him the next time they run into Edgar. The others, including the Twins, have to agree. How can they trust Snotlout?
Later, at the academy, the J twins, Betty, and the Dragon Hatchlings were watching the Thorston twins were redecorating Snotlout's pen. Mira was out doing her chores with Sapphire while X, Voltage, and Kishi were patrolling with Warfire. Karma and Rose were taking care of the little ones. Then Hiccup flies in with Toothless. Hiccup saw the Thorston twins redecorating Snotlout's pen.
"So, let me guess, Snotlout is out flying?" Hiccup questioned the Thorston Twins.
Tuffnut was measuring the wall with a ruler and answered Hiccup's question. "You didn't hear it from us."
Hiccup shook his head before looking at the Thorston's twins work. "And, what are you two doing?" He asked.
"Well, we figured with Snotlout kicked out of the academy and our pen next to his, we'd knock down a wall, create kind of a better flow. It's a Feng Shui." Tuffnut explains. "Obviously, in remembrance of Snotlout. He will be forgotten. Will! Sorry, 'Will' not be forgotten." Tuffnut corrected the last part.
X came to Hiccup's side and explained. "They wanted to have a bigger pen and since they believe that you kicked Snotlout out from the academy. And they decided to redecorate." He explains.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn't kick him out of the academy." Hiccup said to the Thorston Twins after X explain to him what happened. "He's just on temporary suspension."
"Well, what choice do you have after his flagrant disregard for your leadership?" Tuffnut questioned, raising the ruler as he thinks of an explanation, so and his sister can keep Snotlout's pen. "I mean, he deserves to…have his pen merged with another pen!"
"Yeah, the only remaining choice is total expulsion, or you run the risk of losing the respect of the other riders." Ruffnut added with her arms crossed along with her brother's.
There was a dead silence from the group. All widen eyes were upon the Thorston Twins. For once in their lives, they said something smart. They guessed that the Eel Pox that made them smart might have left some intelligence for them. Karma, however, wasn't too impress by them since they cause trouble for both her and the others.
"Wow, they actually have a point." Astrid said almost in agreement.
"For once." X muttered.
Ruffnut walks to the other side of the pen and examines it a bit as she thinks of a place for a decoration. "And we're not just saying that because we plan on putting curtains right here." She said.
Tuffnut came up with a purple fabric in hand. "I'm good with fabrics. Who knew? I also do some needlepoint-"
Hiccup drops the fabric off Tuffnut's hands. "No one is knocking down anything. I will talk to Snotlout when he comes back."
"If he comes back." X pointed out as Hiccup and Toothless leaves the academy while the Thorston Twins continue their work.
Meanwhile, Mira was at the far side of the island of another beach as she and Sapphire collect some shells for Lily's little flower garden, they made for her near their house. It was to cheer Lily up after Tundra left with Thornado to take care of Bing, Bang, and Boom. Lily appreciates it a lot. As they collect seashells, Mira felt something near the water. Mira saw three figures in the water and slowly smiles to see who they are. They were three of her aunts. Kolga, Blódughadda, and Himinglava came to see their beloved niece. Mira walked over to her aunts and kneels at the edge of the beach, allowing the gentle waves to wash her.
"Hello, Aunt Kolga, Aunt Blódughadda, Aunt Himinglava, what brings you all here?" Mira asked kindly.
"Our sweet beloved niece." Kolga began. "Berk is in grave danger."
Mira's eyes widen a bit by that information. "What do you mean?"
"The Screaming Death is on its way here." Blódughadda added with worry eyes.
"It's coming?!" Mira asked in shock.
"Indeed, you must warn your friends as soon as possible before it's too late." Himinglava said.
Mira nodded as she quickly gets on Sapphire and took off to the sky towards Berk while Kolga, Blódughadda, and Himinglava swim away.
Mira and Sapphire quickly returns to Berk and to find Hiccup when they saw Hookfang landing on the village square and saw Snotlout falling off his dragon unmoving. The villagers saw this and thinks Snotlout died and happily cheered as they were about to prepare a Viking funeral, but it is short-lived when Snotlout regains consciousness, causing the villagers to be disappointed. Mira saw Warfire at the corner, clearly disappointed that Snotlout wasn't dead yet. Just then, Hiccup and Stoick arrive to see what's the commotion was about until they saw someone getting off Hookfang. And everyone froze.
It was Alvin the Treacherous!
Turns out, he didn't die at all and he somehow rescued Snotlout. Later, Alvin is being held a trial in the Great Hall, all the villagers were there, yelling at Alvin angrily. Gobber was holding a paper on the list of convicted past crimes that Alvin committed on Berk, and it was all related to treachery. Stoick settles down the angered crowd and declares that Alvin will be put into prison until a sentence can be properly filed against him. Despite Alvin telling Stoick that is this how he treats a man who saved a valuable life while the Twins were confused and unsure why Alvin said that Snotlout was valuable because he's not. Stoick didn't care because he still sees Alvin as the same man from before.
Mira was about to tell Hiccup the Screaming Death until Astrid and Fishlegs beats her too it as they said that Snotlout woken up and told them that the Screaming Death was close by, much to Hiccup's dismay.
Back the academy, Hiccup, Fishlegs, Astrid, Mira, X, and Kishi in his Mors form are training their dragons hard to figure out a way to hold off the Screaming Death while the Thorston twins continue to decorate Snotlout's pen. The J Twins, Betty, and the young dragons were watching them from the sidelines as they were curious on what's going on. Karma, Rose, Scourge, and Lavender were there. They were concern about the Screaming Death coming to the island. Warfire went on a scouting mission with some dragons to see if the Screaming Death was close by.
"Come on, you guys, focus. We need to figure out a way to stop the Screaming Death from reaching Berk." Hiccup said.
Just then, Snotlout arrives on Hookfang, knocking Fishlegs and Meatlug in the process. Luckily, Scourge caught them before they could crash on Lavender or him. Snotlout gets off his dragon and expected a warm welcome from the Academy while Scourge and Lavender helped Meatlug and Fishlegs up on their feet.
"Hey, everyone! Did you miss me? Of course, you did. Ha! Why do I even ask?" Snotlout said laughing.
Everyone gave him annoyed looks. The Thorston twins were angry and annoyed that Snotlout was back and stopped what they were doing. Ruffnut threw a shield on the ground while Tuffnut slumps on the floor with the shark fabric on the wall.
"Oh, great. Can't return this fabric." Tuffnut said before the shark fabric fell on him, causing Ruffnut to laugh.
"Snotlout, I'm very happy you're okay." Hiccup said, walking up to him.
"Oh, me? Ha! I'm more than okay." Snotlout boasted as he walks over to an annoyed Astrid.
"You broke the rules, again. And you almost got yourself killed in the process." Hiccup stated.
"Didn't he always do that?" Joe asked, earning a nod from his brother.
"So?" Snotlout questioned.
Hiccup crosses his arms and pointed out. "So, you're still suspended."
"What?!" Snotlout exclaims.
The Thorston twins were delighted by this news as they got back to work. Tuffnut picks up the shark fabric happily. "All right! Back in business!" Tuffnut cheered before he started singing and dancing with the fabric. "And ain't it fine? Doing curtains all the time!"
"I found the Screaming Death! And, I captured Alvin the Treacherous!" Snotlout pointed out.
"I thought Alvin saved you." Mira stated.
"Yeah, and weren't you unconscious when you 'captured' him?" Astrid questioned, agreeing with Mira.
"Unconscious like a fox." Snotlout said proudly.
Tuffnut was trying to hang the shark fabric back on the wall. "Uh, that doesn't even make sense to me, and I am foxy like a badger."
Then the Shark fabric falls off along with Tuffnut. Hiccup tells Snotlout that nothing has change and he is still suspended from violating the rules again. Without a choice, Hiccup decides to lock up Hookfang in his pen despite Snotlout protesting. As everyone leaves, they forgotten that Tuffnut was inside the pen with Hookfang.
"Uh, hello? Viking in the dragon pen. Guys?" Tuffnut calls out to them.
Unaware from afar, Edgar was on top of a nearby cliff. He saw everything and it was the perfect time to put his plan into motion. Savage was with him as they get ready for the plan.
"The dragons are locked up in the arena." Edgar said to Savage. "By the time Hiccup and his dragon get to them, it'll be too late."
Later that night, Mira was asleep in her bed with Sapphire next to her. Her family was asleep outside or downstairs while the little hatchlings sleep on Joe and Jon's room. Then Mira woke up when she felt something. She got out of bed, waking Sapphire in the process, before going outside with Sapphire following her. When they did, they saw Blódughadda near the docks.
"Aunt Blódughadda? What is wrong?" Mira asked her aunt as she kneels at the edge of the docks.
"Trouble at the academy." Blódughadda informs. "Edgar and his men came and brought a Dragon Root. The Dragons are fighting to the death as we speak."
Mira gasps in shock before getting on Sapphire to warn the others while Blódughadda left. Mira quickly told Hiccup when she spotted him with X and told him about the situation. They quickly made their way to the arena and saw the dragons were fighting over the dragon root. Snotlout fires a plasma blast to the sky to call the other riders as they think of a plan to stop them. When the riders got there, Snotlout tries to tell Hiccup something important, but Hiccup tells him not now as he assigns Fishlegs and Meatlug to get the Dragon Root while the others distract their dragons' attention.
Astrid, the Thorston Twins, and Snotlout were able to calm their dragons to give Fishlegs and Meatlug time to grab the Root and heads for the exit. However, the Insanities arrives and prebented them from escaping as they shut the exit. Edgar planed the whole thing as they ready the plan of attack. However, they weren't aware that X and Kishi were out and helped the Riders be free.
Then Stoick, Gobber, and other brave Vikings arrive in arms to fend off the Insanities. As everyone fought off the Insanities and Outcasts, Stoick wasn't aware that Savage was attempting to ambush Stoick and finish him off. But sadly, for him, Alvin jumps in and brutally kicks Savage away. Despite being the enemy, Stoick lets Alvin join and help the fight. Fishlegs and Meatlug escaped the fight with the Dragon Root, but Meatlug knocks out Stoick by accident. Hiccup and Toothless contain the dragons, stopping them from following the Root. As they all driven off the Insanities and Outcasts, the enemies didn't leave empty handed when they captured Stoick. Hiccup was about to save him, but Edgar was going to kill Stoick if Hiccup comes close. And Alvin had to prevent Hiccup from doing anything rash.
As Edgar and his men leave, Berk was left chiefless. Everyone began to worry the Screaming Death was coming its way to Berk and they will have a war with the Insanities and the Outcasts soon.
They have to rescue Stoick before more trouble will happened. On the next day, Mira was ridding on Sapphire as they headed towards the other side of the island. They were going to find Mira's aunts that can help them get the information they need about Edgar and his men. Kishi and X left to go to Berserker Island for Dagur's assistance. They need all the help they could get. The other Riders were at the Great Hall, trying to calm down a riot that wants Alvin dead. As they made it to their destination. Mira jumps off Sapphire's back and to the water before Sapphire landed on some rocks. Mira turned into her mermaid form before calling out to her aunts.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Please, I need your help." Mira pleaded.
Soon, all of her nine aunts appeared from the water when they heard their niece's plea. Mira was relief to see her aunts have heard her as they made their way towards Mira.
"What is wrong, our dear niece?" Himinglava asked worriedly.
"Chief Stoick has been captured by Edgar. And I need to know what they are planning before anyone else could get harmed." Mira said to her Aunts.
The Nine Daughters Aegir looked at their niece worriedly. She doesn't know the danger that might come. But her home, friends, and family are in danger. And they must help her before Edgar harms more innocents.
"Edgar is planning a trap for Berk." Kolga began. "He is using Stoick to lure Hiccup alone and capture him and his Night Fury."
"And he will kill them." Blódughadda answered in a dreaded tone, causing Mira to gasp in worry.
Himinglava swims in. "However, there is a secret passage on Outcast Island."
This brighten Mira a bit. "Really? Where?"
"We do not know." Bara answered. "Only one person knows the location and he is in Berk."
Mira gasps by this information, already knowing who it was. "Alvin…" She whispers in fright.
"Yes, he is the only one who knows the location of the secret passage at Outcast." Hrönn said. "It's your only hope to save Stoick."
Mira hesitated of the idea. I mean, Alvin did try to destroy Berk, but he is the only one who can get Hiccup in. So, taking a deep breath, Mira turns to her aunts. "I have to tell Hiccup about. Thank you, for telling me."
"It's is our pleasure, now go. Before Edgar do something more insane." Blódughadda said.
Mira nodded before signaling Sapphire. Seeing this, Sapphire flies off the rocks and quickly picks up her rider, who turns herself human again, before getting on the Night Fury's back as they headed back to Berk while Mira's aunts swim away. Mira and Sapphire found Hiccup near his house with Toothless. Sapphire quickly landed and Mira got of her dragon as she runs towards Hiccup.
"Hiccup!"
"Mira? W-What's wrong?" Hiccup asked.
"I have an idea to save your dad, but you have to hear me out, please."
"…Alright, I'm all hears." Hiccup said.
Mira took a deep breathe and spoke. "You need Alvin's help."
Mira saw Hiccup's eyes widen by this information and was about to speak, but Mira cuts him off. "I know! I know! It's crazy, but he's the only one who knows the island. He's our best shot in saving Stoick."
Hiccup stayed silent for a few minutes. Hiccup knew that Alvin knows how to get in and out from Outcast Island. He had to agree with Mira, Alvin can help him save his dad before he gets executed by Edgar. So, Hiccup agrees with Mira's idea and confronts Alvin and bring him to Outcast Island, so he can help Hiccup get in there without getting notice and saving his dad.
Later, Mira was in the Academy with the other Dragon Riders. Her siblings and the hatchlings were with Gothi to be safe while Karma, Warfire, Rose, Treecutter, and Violet prepared to strike at Outcast Island. That's when Snotlout came running with a Terrible Terror biting his arms.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow! Painful message. Painful message!" Snotlout yells in pain.
The Thorston Twins eagerly removes the Terror off Snotlout's arm roughly, causing Snotlout to scream in pain. Astrid gets the letter that was attached on the Terror's leg while the Thorston Twins were playing around with the Terror.
"Oh, whoa! Is that your skin in his mouth? That must hurt." Tuffnut said with a chuckle, but immediately regrets it when the Terror attacked him. Astrid ignores them as she reads the letter. Mira was besides her as she reads along.
"What does it say?" Fishlegs asked.
"Hiccup has an idea to stop the Screaming Death. But we're gonna need to lure it to Outcast island." Astrid said.
"But how are we going to lure it?" Mira asked.
When Tuffnut removes the Terror from his nose, Ruffnut suggested her idea. "It likes eating islands."
Tuffnut thinks of an idea and then he got one. "Ah! That's it. We need to find a really tiny island and a really big rope!" Tuffnut explains with a grin, earning an annoyed look from Astrid and Fishlegs while Mira facepalmed. "Who do we talk to about that?" Tuffnut asked Astrid, earning a smack at the head by the shieldmaiden. "Ow!"
"I may know how to lure it." Mira steps in.
Astrid turns to Mira, knowing that she will use her mermaid song to lure the Screaming Death, but it sounded risky and she didn't want Mira to get hurt. "Are you sure?"
Mira gave Astrid an assuring smile. "I'll be fine, I was trained by the best." She said, referring to Astrid.
Hearing this, Astrid smiles and nodded. "Okay, Mira, you lure the Screaming Death to the Outcast Island, we'll meet you there with the others."
"It's a good thing that X and Kishi went to get help with the Berserkers, we need more the help we can get." Fishlegs said.
Mira nodded before getting on Sapphire as they took off to the sea to search for the Screaming Death. They search to the area where Fishlegs and Meatlug found it. As they landed at the sea stack, Mira gets off her dragon and looked at the horizon. She knew that if she sings, the Screaming Death would hear her. She didn't know if it will work since she never tried it in her human form, but she has to try.
Mira sighs as she tries to calm herself down. "It's now or never." She whispers before she closes her eyes.
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory
Her voice echoed through the sea stacks. Many dragons heard her and wanted to come, but they couldn't because a giant being was coming its way towards her. Sapphire could sense something coming as she readies herself for the attacker. Mira was busy singing that she didn't notices it.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory.
The figure made its way to Mira and Sapphire as the female Night Fury growls at the incoming intruder that was coming their way, but she held her grown and didn't attack until the time was right.
Far away,
Long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
When Mira finished, she felt a hot breath huffed at her. Sapphire growled dangerously at the one who was in front of them. But she couldn't attack because it was near Mira. Opening her eyes, Mira saw who it was right in front of her.
The Screaming Death.
The Screaming Death heard Mira's singing. Her voice lured it here, but it didn't know WHY it was here for. Mira looked at the Screaming Death's glaring red eyes and notices that could melt her soul. But Mira could see through his eyes that he was rampaging for a reason. He's doing this because he was searching for someone.
"You're looking for someone." Mira whispers, causing the Screaming Death to growl at her and Sapphire growls back at the Screaming Death. "You're destroying the islands…to find someone. Someone that you wish to be loved."
The Screaming Death didn't make a sound as it looks at Mira's small form. In truth, he was searching for someone, someone that he wanted to see in his life. Mira knew on what it was looking for as she decided to give him an offer that he can't refuse.
"I know who you are searching for and I know where, but you have trust me." Mira said
The Screaming Death stayed silent. It didn't growl or hissed at her. It got to admit. This small and weak human was brave enough to face it. However, if she leads him the location, he'll find that someone he has been looking for. The Screaming Death gave Mira a sharp, causing Mira to smile before she gets on her dragon.
"Come on, girl. Let's go to Outcast Island." Mira said.
Sapphire nodded and took of to Outcast Island with the Screaming Death following them from behind. They headed towards Outcast Island and saw the destruction. There were Whispering Deaths wreaking havoc, the Berserker Armada was there as they attacked the island with catapults and arrows. Statera, X, and the dragons work together to destroy the Insanity and Outcast ships while the Riders helped them out. The Thorston enjoys the destruction that was happening.
"Whoa, this is chaos on a level I've never seen before!" Ruffnut yelled happily.
"I know! I want to live here!" Tuffnut agrees happily.
"Forever!" Ruffnut added with arms spread before Barf and Belch flies on.
Astrid and Stormfly scared off the Insanities and the Outcasts away from Toothless and Hiccup as the Deadly Nadder landed next to them. Hiccup and Toothless were relief that they were here.
"Boy, are we ever glad to see you guys!" Hiccup said.
"Don't thank us yet. Things are about to get a lot crazier!" Astrid stated.
With that said, Sapphire zooms in with a roar, causing everyone to look up and saw the Night Fury and Mira along with the Screaming Death! Mira successfully lure it here to Outcast Island to…assist them. Stoick was shock to see the Screaming Death here, and more importantly, why Hiccup planned to bring it here?!
"Why in the name of Odin did you bring that here?!" Stoick asked in shock.
"This may be the only chance we have to get rid of it. I saw the Screaming Death's mother. It's been destroying those islands searching for her." Hiccup explains, remembering the Whispering Death mother was in her cage.
"That thing has a mother?" Stoick questioned.
"Yeah." Hiccup said.
As soon as the Screaming Death came, its mother called to him. Screaming Death turns to her and look a relief and happiness came to its eyes. It's been for its long-lost mother, so it can be with her again. This was their only chance to end its mission of destroying Berk and hopefully will result in a positive degree. However, Edgar figures it out what's the Screaming Death was looking for and decides to harm its mother. Edgar and some of his men captured the mother, causing the Screaming Death to go on a rampage. Hiccup warns Edgar if he continues his insane plan, the Screaming Death will wipe every known threat in his path.
Then Snotlout arrives and engages on Edgar. Hookfang light himself on fire before releasing his fire at Edgar and his men, not harming the Screaming Death's mother. Once she was free, she looks over to Hiccup as the young boy gave her a nod. She soon flies off with the rest of her children and reunites with the Screaming Death. The two dragons pressed their heads together, kinda like a dragon hug, before the Screaming Death turned its attention to Hiccup. The Screaming Death came right in front of Hiccup and Toothless, glaring at them, before he releases a somewhat angry thank you roar and leaves with its reunited family. Hookfang lands besides Hiccup and Toothless. Sapphire lands close by with Mira on her back. The young girl gets off her and watches them from a distance.
"Okay, I know I wasn't following orders, Hiccup, but I…well, umm…"
"Snotlout, you did the right thing." Hiccup said with a smile.
"Yeah, I did, but…wait, what? Are you messing with me? I was reckless!" Snotlout exclaims in shock.
"Sometimes reckless can be courageous. Your suspension is…well, suspended." Hiccup said with his hand outstretched.
Snotlout was shock by this, but soon shook his hand. Mira smile by this but soon was cut off when Edgar came from behind and grab the girl's hair. Mira yells in pain, causing everyone to turn to her. Sapphire roars in shock and anger to see Edgar grabbing her rider's hair, but she couldn't attack because Edgar has a sword at Mira's neck.
"MIRA!" Astrid yells when she saw Mira in danger.
"Edgar! Let her go!" Hiccup ordered.
"I will…after you give your dragons!" Edgar yelled in anger.
The Riders and their dragons couldn't do anything, Edgar will harm Mira if they try anything. X was snarling at Edgar while Dagur prevents himself from attacking. Before anyone could do anything, Mira quickly grabs her dagger and cuts her hair, causing it to be short, before swiftly turning to Edgar and gave strong punch on the face. Edgar fall face first on the floor unconscious. Mira panted from the sudden adrenaline. Some locks of her hair were blown away from the wind after she cuts it. Astrid quickly went to Mira side and check on her.
"Are you oaky?" Astrid asked worriedly.
"I will be." Mira said with an assuring smile.
Dagur came and saw Mira punched someone on the face. "Wow! First knock out punch?" He asked.
"…Yeah, I guess so." Mira answered.
"Felt good, right?" Dagur gently elbows her arm.
"Meh, yeah maybe." Mira said with a small smile.
After the incident, Alvin grabs the incocnious Edgar and wanted payback after what he did to him and his island. Hours later, Edgar was placed on a cell of Outcast Island while everything was slowly being repaired. Stoick and Alvin were near the cliff, looking at the horizon.
"Who'd have thought it would've come to this, eh, Stoick?" Alvin said with a grin.
"There's more than enough blame to go around, Alvin. But that's in the past...what you did today for me, for my son." Stoick said, almost sounding like a thank you before outstretching his hand. Seeing this, Alvin shook his hand with Stoick. After Stoick made amends with Alvin, they all headed home.
Mira sits on the cliff near Berk's academy, looking at the horizon. Her short hair blows by the gentle wind. Sapphire was by her side, resting behind her rider. Mira was happy that everything was over. The Screaming Death was no longer a threat to Berk after it was reunited with its mother, Edgar was in prison, and the Outcast are now in alliance with Berk. Everything was okay now. Just then, Astrid came with Stormfly.
"Hey, Mira, how are you holding up?" She asked.
Mira smiles at her gently. "I'm fine, though it will take some time for it to grow back." Mira said.
The two girls laughed a bit before Mira gets up. "I can't believe it's finally over." She said.
Astrid nodded. "Yeah, but our work is not yet done. We still need to train our dragons." She said with a smile.
Mira smiles back before getting on Sapphire. The two girls' dragons took off to the sky and towards the village. However, as they reach to it, Hookfang came flying with his body in flame while Snotlout was screaming. They and the other Riders and X fly over to Hiccup who was with his father and needed his help with Snotlout situation with Hookfang while Gobber informs Stoick that Silent Sven broke his 'silence' and Stoick is not going to like what Sven has to say. They both go on, as they have their own chiefing to do. Hiccup and Toothless head off to help Snotlout unburn his butt. And the Riders treating their Dragons with great respect as Berk ends its defensive state after finishing the biggest threats the entire archipelago had encountered.
This is Berk. They've got ice, they've got snow and they've got more ice. But they've also got dragons. They train them learn from them, protect them. And they protect their dragons. Sometimes from themselves. One thing's for sure. They wouldn't trade this for anything. Would you?
Up next, Race to the Edge.
