There are many limits that despictable, monstrous, evil, war-mongering and heartless warlords must not cross. But what that Madgod has done here, he has crossed all of them; no one can imagine how many lives he took and how much blood he spilled on his hands...

-Tubison

(A/N: Expect seeing what happens here like how it happened in Mulan, you're about to know what I mean when you start reading this Chapter. Great Movie with an Good Sequel, which is the lowest while Excellent is the highest according to an show called The Critic starring Jay Sherman. Enjoy!)

It's not something like an present one would've been waiting for an whole Birthday celebration. It's nothing like an new puppy on the holiday of Xevairisebjalla Eve. It's nothing like an surprise that is received from one's visiting Grandparents nor visiting members of the Family who live so far apart from another. And it sure is hell not something that was meant to be witnessed and reacted with an positive reaction, what was witnessed here was not supposed to happen here at all in the first place. No, this really should've not happened here at all; but an unspeakable means of treason against the Gods above and towards the Archipelago has happened, one of the worst things that would haunt the younglings and hatchlings for years until the Dragons would be comforted by their fathers and mothers. No one should ever witness this horrifying sight in front of them, it was over before they even began

The smoldering, burning ashes that filled the air like embers. Weakened and fragile buildings of those that stood were now ready to fall like the Roman Empire, some of which had done by themselves. Destruction and the stains of blood of both innocents, Knights and Hunters bathing the environment around in splotches and splatters. The Dragon Sanctuary was left in ruins, smoking from the fire that was still burning while the chunks of the Bewilderbeast ice laid about the ruins of what remained. Villagers of both farmers and Dragon Riders lying together in own stained blood with many Dragon Hunters dead with their corpses giving off the reason of how they were killed. Slaughtered like animals and left to be fed to the crows and vultures, laid to unrest and some have been mutilated, dismembered, decapitated and others had their own organs blown out from their stomachs; the echoes of the screams can be heard briefly in the silence as the Village's bell that chimed ever so silently as the aged and ripping rope smacked against the metal. The stone brick foundations crumbled and collapsed as there was no sign of any Dragons here, but there were signs of retaliation and uprising against the Hunters who caused this. All Dragons might have been captured for the Army of Dragons meant for one purpose of the Madgod: Conquer the Archipelago

Eret crossed his arms and snarled at the vicious sight before him, shaking his head and openly disgusted at what Drago Bludvist has done; bringing out his Returnwing as he wanted to make sure nobody was still around. It was bent in a curved shape and painted with stylized kelly green waves with scarlet edges, waves and spots; being made of hardwood and originally made as a new weapon at the suggestion of Gobber when Hiccup was still on Berk. Given to Eret as a little gift since his travels have brought him to Australia. Drayko remained silent about the situation while Heather and Windshear went into the Village with the Knights following behind, the smoke had clouded the sky and the deadly scarlet red, fiery tint of the sky only increased the uneasiness of the ruins that they roamed through as they went further into the remains

"Search for survivors, there's bound to be at least one..." Drayko ordered silently as he went off while the Knights nodded, going off in different directions

Some of the fragile structures had fallen on itself from the burning wood that remained from the aftermath, hitting the ground while the others remained standing after the horrifying aftermath of what has happened. Heather pulled aside the ripped cloth that was all that remained the door and looked around with her basil green eyes darting all around, continuing to walk with Windshear following her from the side until she stepped on something wooden beneath her talon; as he moved it, Heather found an Action Figure of an Dragon Rider with clothes and had the feeling that this belonged to an little boy who dreamed of becoming one of them. She had previously seen the many dead bodies of the Villagers and not even the children were safe; no one was safe from Drago Bludvist as everyone was in his path, no matter be it man, woman nor child. Feeling the pain of the little boy and the heavy price he paid for a fate he did not ask for, she held it close to her chest and closed her eyes out of respect. She knew that War is hell and Drago was a Madgod altogether, but to have the will to commit genocide on a Village and to kill a young child with a dream like so many others out there... It was then that she heard Drayko come over and lament over the mess before them

"Valka and Scorpio should've been here" Drayko spoke in a gravely voice that didn't sound like his introvertive nature he has been posing since the battle on Captain Lech's ship, he was interrupted when Raedwit's voice called out to him

"Drayko!" The Master of Illusions called out to him, Drayko saw where he was and headed over; tension building up inside of himself as he got closer and as Raedwit pointed over towards the edge of the cliff; getting further and further before stopping at the very edge, overseeing what he had dreaded the most

The entire field was littered with bloodied corpses of Dragon Riders who lied dead in their own thick lakes of blood, flags that they've carried were ripped and damaged; weapons stabbed into the ground and what was even worse was the Dragons that they all rode on, bonded with and even loved had joined them to their graves on the battlefield. Scales ripped and stripped off from the flesh, some heads were taken, some of the underbellies were slashed downward to spill out their organs, wings pinned to the ground and some tails sliced off. There was no sign of any Dragon Hunter body that lied dead with them, although very few of them lied on the battlefield. The corpses of the Dragons were marked with an bloodied fist as it was the sign of the Dragon Hunters, but the middle was marked with an even bigger bloodied fist as it was marked as an warning to the Knights of the Dragon Riders; to make them heavily pay the price should they continue to go up against the Dragon God. Drayko's expression had changed from his introvertive nature to vengeful and heartless as he growled with hatred before he spat out the foam that was forming with his anger. Coming up from overhead of the battlefield graveyard, Tubison and the New Riders who caused the disruption in the Encampment at the Dragon's Edge walked solemnly up the hill as Arrowglider held someone on his back. Out of fear upon Drayko's wrath towards the Hunters, he presented the body to him personally: "General Scorpio..." That was all he told him as he gave the General's body to him

Drayko who now held the body of the late General Scorpio, took one look at him and immediately turned away from Tubison and the New Riders; wanting to be alone as the other Knights and Dragons approached and watched as Drayko stood on the very edge of the snowy covered edge as the Village Ruins was not too far from where he was at. While Valka and Cloudjumper recovered thanks to the likes of Arson the Medic, Heather watched him with sympathy as he tilted his head downwards; bringing out General Scorpio's sword before stabbing it straight into the ground perfectly before laying his body in a position where he looked like he was bending down, holding onto his sword. Drayko was crouched down as he paid his respects alone, remembering his late ally who was known as Dreadfulstryke for he was his partner when he killed an member of the Jorgenson Family: Punchlout Jorgenson who was sent by Stoick to stop him from pursuing on his path to uncover what he was planning against him, but only ending up angry as he not only lost his friend; but was used like their manipulated pawn once again, that really had his blood boiling to the piss. Cloudjumper came to wrap him with one of his wings while Heather came over

"I didn't think Drago would kill him like this..." Heather told him, feeling horrible for what he had to go through

Drayko only stood up and turnedback towards the Knights, not saying an single word as he knew Heather that she and no one were responsible but the Hunters; but this did not mean he stopped and felt an surge of anger burn throughout his body as he continued walking towards his Night Fury, mounting onto Toothless and looking back one last time to the Gravemark from atop the hill. "We're heading to Valka's Sanctuary, the Army of Dragon Hunters led by Bludvist is bound to be attacking. Let's move out" That was all he would say before he shot off into the air, the other Knights mounted their Dragons and flew off

Heather on the other hand looked down at the Action Figure in her hands and walked towards the Gravemark of General Scorpio, setting it down in front of the blade and giving her respects to both of those who fell before the bullhook of Drago Bludvist; regardless of not knowing him too well as she left the area, taking off to the skies with Windshear as she followed the Knights into the cold and desolate winter that had begun to shroud the ruins and envelop the entire sight of the Village Genocidal Massacre had happened. Not seeing the shadow of someone who looked really familiar, taking the corpse the General Scorpio and his sword before vanishing back into the fog (A/N: There's no mystery behind this and I'm not sugarcoating it at all, you readers know who it was that took the dead body and his sword...)

Evil has truly plagued the skies as the Knights rode solemnly towards the edge of the Archipelago that they all lived and flew across in, landing in front of the cold and large mountain of ice and snow. It felt like living in the land of Scandinavia all over again had they not lost their mainland thanks to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I to which Stoick blamed him for. But as our Heroes began wandering on the exterior of the Sanctuary, Drayko was suddenly striked in the shoulderguard by an Dragon Root Arrow; yelling and collapsing before taking the Arrow out with signs of blood that spurted out, growling as he knew who was behind this. They all look towards the Sanctuary in alert and saw an incoming rain of Dragon Root Arrows being shot from high above the icy haven; Drago Bludvist and the Dragon Hunters have found the Sanctuary and set up a trap for them! Drayko got up and yelled to them all: "Get the hell out of range, now!" The Knights and Dragons began to hastily dodge the arrows and make their way towards cover

Suddenly, the Dragon Hunters began to light their Arrows on fire and began targeting the Knights as they shot their Nadder Spike tipped Arrows towards them; which were also coated in Dragon Root. One of them struck Arrowglider who was carrying an loathsome amount of the cannons they've built, stabbing the Nadder in the thigh and setting some of the cannons ablaze as they were about to go off at any moment. Tubison removed the strap that held them onto Arrowglider before taking him away to head for cover while the Knights took whatever cannons weren't caught on fire, exploding as the fire engulfed the snowy ground. As the New Riders escaped the explosion, they ran towards cover where the Knights and Dragons were taking heavy fire from the Hunters. "Fire!" Raedwit commanded as the Riders and Dragons fired away with their Cannons and Firepower, the heads of the former raged towards the Archers as very few of them were able to dodge but the rest were killed with the added firepower thanks to the Dragons

The Cannons were shot again and many more of the Firepower from the Dragons were fired out towards the environment of the Dragon Sanctuary, damaging the Bewilderbeast ice structure and the explosions sending many of the Hunters flying with many more to their doom. The battle was fierce as the Knights mounted their Dragons and took off to the skies as they aided the ones below, taking out the Hunters who were hiding and those who were shooting at them; "Fire!" The order was shouted out once again as the tubes exploded and the New Riders were covering their ears, the heads exploded to the side and caused an thick smoky fog to form from the distance

"Hold the final cannon!" Drayko shouted as the Rider stopped and everything fell silent

The heavy fog of smoke began to clear as Heather's eyes narrowed, something wasn't right and it was made clear as it fully cleared out to reveal none other than the notorious Drago Bludvist; but standing by his side was none other than Viggo, Ryker, Krogan, the Dragon Hunter Commander, Flyer Leader and now Savage with some Berserkers; all mounted on their enslaved and enchained Dragons that were forced by their command. Many other Hunters, Flyers and Trappers appeared one by one. Drayko, Toothless and Heather watch as the former's eyes narrow with an murderous glare and bares his sharp, deadly fangs as he knew what was coming next. From their view, Drago and his Army grew into an entire thousands as they all let out a warcy for the blood of the Knights to be spilled while their Dragons to be taken from them once and for all, as nobody will stand in their way when they conquer the Archipelago

"Prepare to fight, if you fall in battle then you will all be remembered in the end for what you've done to help us against the False Dragon God" Everyone got out their Gronckle Iron weapons and shields, prepared to fight and ready to accept death for they knew what was coming; knowing that they cannot escape their fate. Tubison had second thoughts and hesitated with Arrowglider by his side. Drago brought out his Bullhook and gave off his infamous scream before racing down the icy mountain of Valka's Sanctuary, with his Army following his side as they all did the same before flying downwards towards the Knights, Dragons and Riders

"You there, aim the final cannon at Drago" Eret ordered, all of it was going to end here right now and the madness that has been brought onto him and everyone on that bastard's payroll was going to share the same fate

Tubison looked at this two Shields and saw an relfection of an loose part form the Sanctuary, to which Heather noticed it as well. "Good thinking, Tubison" She thanked him and took the Cannon from the New Rider's hands as she ran into the battlefield with Drayko following behind

"Where the hell do ya' think yer' going Devil Woman?! Get back here!" Bladehead screamed out, he was about to go into his Berserker Rage once again; especially at Heather's unhinged personality and risk taking way of fighting, since he's seen her do it many times before on Berserker Island

Their Dragons ran after their respective Riders while Heather took the Cannon close to the loose icy rocks to start an avalanche, Drago and his Army were getting closer to them as an Terrible Terror flew overhead; high above the advancing and approaching Army coming for the Knights. While Bladehead continued to scream at them and the Riders prepared to fight the Hunters for what they have done at the Village, the New Riders brought out their weapons. "Come on, we need to help out!" And so they ran over to them to bring aid to them both

Heather set the cannon down and prepared to light it as it was aimed towards the loose rocks, one of the Hunters that was wielding an Bow shot an Dragon Root Arrow towards Windshear; but missed as she let out an bright blue firebolt towards the cannon, with Drago flying down even more closer and closer than before until the cannon fired as soon as he was in front of the Razorwhip Raider. The head of the cannon raged onwards with an pyroclastic cloud trailing from behind before it struck against the loose rocks, causing the countless piles of snow and ice to come down racing towards the Army. Heather smirked just as Drayko reached her and Drago turned to see that his Army was about to be buried alive

Furious by this sudden and deadly counterattack that would destroy them both, Drago turned to Heather and pulled back his Bullhook to slash against her; but Drayko stood in front to defend her and took the hit, being slashed across the chest as he flew backwards across the snowy ground. Drago was then forced to escape the trailing avalanche from behind as Drayko took Heather away, making a escaping run for it and quickly mounting their Dragons as they jumped onto their backs

HTTYD

The New Riders came running towards the Army with their weapons up high and ready but started running away when they realized what exactly was happening, Drago and his men continued to fly away from the Avalanche but were all swallowed by the raging snow as he screamed in defeat; being consumed by the landslide while the Dragons that they rode upon had broken their bindings, escaping while the twin Whispering Death mount broke away separately and allowed them to fly off away from the chaos below

In the process of running towards the edge for cover, Windshear was caught in the snow and Drayko jumped off to help her; but the advancing Avalanche from behind caught them both and separated them. As the avalanche came even more closer to the New Riders, they ran further to the edge to hide behind an rock while Raedwit stabbed his spear into the ground and held onto it as the snow parted ways in front of him to avoid being swallowed by the snow. Drayko after being joined by Toothless who had jumped onto his back in the process, had jumped into the air and used his Shield as an snowboard in order to find Heather who broke out of the ice and snow as she tried to make her way back to Windshear; the pressure was too heavy to fly out of and was keeping her down to the ground, forcing Drayko to throw Heather over to Windshear as they they were going over the edge. The Slayer of Red Death fired off his Grappling Claw towards where the Knights were

The Grappling Claw latched directly onto Raijah's chest and pulled him towards the edge with the Scorching Vigilante pinning himself to the ground to keep himself from sliding, the Knights and New Riders having to dogpile onto him as well; but this did not stop them from sliding as their combined strength did very little to help Drayko and Heather from falling over the edge. Fishlegs along with the Dragons grabbed onto the dogpile and started to pull from behind with the combined strength, helping Drayko and Heather up from the cliff as all seemed that it was calm for now; as the snow of the avalanche left and became less to none, Eret brought out his dual blades at the sound of the snow shifting before them

Drayko, Toothless, Heather and Windshear touched the ground just as an fist punched up above the buried snow and ice. Drago Bludvist crawled out alive along with his men and some of his Army have survived while others have fallen, enraged by the massive casualties that he had suffered; he grabbed his Bullhook and swung it over his head while letting out an roar. The Knights and New Riders all knew that from that little stunt that Heather preformed, they had learned the hard way that Drago Bludvist...

Just...

Won't...

DIE!

Now they've really scorned up the ass of the Fireworm Queen's Nest, they're about to pay the ultimate price when his wrath comes crashing down on them. Especially when he targets Drayko in order to break the man within...

As you can no doubt tell, this was taken from the Mountain Battle from Mulan (1998) and of course you know what's going to happen next since I've hinted it before in Chapter 17: Knife of Lore as you know it's bound to happen sooner or later, it is supposed to be based on what caused Stoick's Death in HTTYD 2 but oh that's right: Stoick is the Main Antagonist here, so why the hell should you give a shit about him at all? He was monopolizing Toothless in Riders of Berk! Which happened in the Episode: "How to Pick Your Dragon"

There are some Episodes that I just really don't fuckin' like because Toothless gets the worst shit of it all, worst offender is the Episode: "When Lightning Strikes" be glad that Drayko killed that son of a bitch (Mildew) in Knights Of The Dragon Riders: The Beginning. But regardless, there's just some things in HTTYD that I hate like pronouncing Gothi's name, Hiccup calling Toothless' Plasma Bolts as "Plasma Blasts" which it does NOT look like a blast at all! And the fact that Toothless is getting the most shit by being captured occasionally as well as the Episode: "Enemy of My Enemy"

Remember this suggestion: Don't like it, don't read it. Otherwise, Feel free to Review and Until we meet again as I will return...

TheLegendaryBlackDragonKnight

P.S: Fuck the Episode "Tone Death" because I hate Garffiljorg and the horrible singing involved, I'm not watching it and if you don't like it; feel free to express your thoughts on the Episode, and fuck Ryker Grimborn for capturing Stormfly as well. I'm glad he's been murdered by the Submaripper, which in the Comics has appeared in "Dangers of the Deep and Underworld" although now under the new name of "Ripwrecker"
