Now he's really gone far beyond crossing the line now, Drago Bludvist will pay for breaking the man within Drayko and forcing him to commit this unmentionable act that I cannot say to the Dragons of the Archipelago. This is just the beginning of knowing their true vengeance, but this will not be the end for what has begun...
-General Scorpio
(A/N: This Chapter may be controversial due to the fight that is about to happen right here, right now. Now you'll really fuckin' hate Drago Bludvist more than you hate Grimmel for hunting down the Night Furies to the edge of extinction and forcing the rest of them to hide in the shadows from his Deathgrippers. As I mentioned before from the previous Chapter, I really wish that it did not have to end this way; gettin' some tissues if necessary is advised. I'm not supposed to sound happy here, but this is tradition for me to say it: Enjoy!)
From the first minute all was like an entire warzone between the two factions fighting for the fate of the Dragons among the Archipelago. The next second all has become silent as the fighting stopped and what they witnessed before them, was an devastating sight as it showed that Drago Bludvist was truly one of the worst threats ever for anyone to go up against; and it's about to get much worse when he becomes an real Dragon God
The White King lied in a waterfall of his own dark blood, lifeless and laid to rest on the shallow seas before Valka's Sanctuary as his wounds never healed; beaten to no end and bombarded with vicious injuries, it has become clear to all that the King is dead. Not even the Black King who has become the new Alpha could hide his true intentional feelings for what he has done in the name of his slavemaster; he was not only feeling humiliated in front of everyone but disgusted as he saw nothing more but an image of himself lying there with Drago taking his place, stomping on his face and raising his Bullhook in victory over the Knights of the Dragon Riders. Even now he had begun to question himself if he was truly worth the new title given to him in his undeserving victory, nevertheless; Drago could care very little about what his machine of war thought, now his enemies were defenseless but he had other plans for few of them in particular
"Do you see now Drayko, do you need anymore proof than this? You see what happens when you wage war with me? Your General, your Dragons and now your Bewilderbeast have fallen by my hand. Is there nothing else that will make you see the truth, that you cannot let alone bring down and kill a God? If not, then you better think otherwise!" Drago yelled to him as Krogan brought Empress Jacqueline over to him and held his Bullhook against her neck, threatening to slit it
"Bastard, you release her now or I'll-" Eret angrily took Ryker Grimborn by the neck and threatened to stab him with the Hunters, Flyers and Trappers surrounding him with their weapons armed
"Hand over the Arcanas, or shall I drench my Bullhook further in her own blood to assure my ascension to becoming an God?" Drago demanded and threatened before Drayko responded by throwing the Silver Knife towards his face, stabbing the wall behind him and leaving another cut on his face
"That's just a piece of shit" He replied in his cold and introvertive voice. "So here's another four for you" He dropped the Arcanas consisting of the Chalice of Mandragora, the Serpenti Crucis, Jacqueline's Amulet and The Libertatem on the ground; which was all filthy and bathed with blood as the engravings couldn't be seen, it was kind of hard to tell if this was the actual Arcana but Drago couldn't care less. Drayko kicked them towards Drago as he continued on
"Shit like that doesn't interest me, but-" He ignited Inferno and spun his flaming sword side to side like a wheel before pointing it towards him. "Perhaps your swan song will!" Drago growled in response as he stabbed his Bullhook towards the ground
"You blind and ignorant beast, you have forgotten the one thing I can do to break your will and have you surrender the falsehood world you live in! You cannot understand the most important thing of my Bewilderbeast: No one can resist the Alpha's command, so he who controls the Alpha; controls them all!" He screamed at the end as he forced the Black King to take control of Toothless, who was struggling against his unwitting trance and the pain that was blinding him thanks to the power of Drago's control over him. "Witness the true strength before you: the power of will over others. In the face of it all: YOU. ARE. NOTHING COMPARED TO THE DRAGON GOD!" He screamed the last sentence as the Black King's control over Toothless had him leap into the air and land in front of Drayko, snarling viciously at him and fire an Plasma Bolt to kill him from where he stood
Drayko's eyes only narrowed as he went into deep thought, with Drago almost smiling at the thought of his days with Toothless were over and that he belonged to him now; for Drayko was not worthy to have an Night Fury of all Dragons of his own, he belonged to him and him alone. All resistance and disobedience will be dealt with quickly, thanks to the Deathgripper Toxin vials that drug all into listening to him and him alone thanks to Grimmel the Grisly. Speaking of which he was watching from the above the Sanctuary and looked down upon Drayko with an frowning but angry looking face, knowing that his Death Sentence has come because once he's gone; he will see to it that Toothless will be tortured by him within the unbreakable defensive walls of Darkheart Prison. But what Drago did not understand from him was that Drayko asked himself this question: "You just couldn't have spared the White King BEFORE I fight Toothless, can't you?"
Drayko returned to the real world and brought his Shield out, ready to fight with an horrible expression of disgust and hatred against Drago on his face. "I will make you pay for this when I'm through with him!" He intended on subduing Toothless before going after Bludvist since the memories of his brother flashed before him, even now as the fight began between him and his brother
Toothless sprinted towards him, leaping forwards against him like a tiger after it's pray and claws extended outward; to which Drayko caught him by his retractable fangs by using his flaming sword, having his fist be twisted to the other side while Toothless was viciously biting down on the blade in an attempt to disarm him. But the Knight instead stomped on his right claw and kicked him away in the snout, Toothless only snarled as the two of them walked slowly to the sides; waiting for either side to attack as one of them was bound to do so eventually, and that's exactly what the Night Fury did first by pouncing onto Drayko and preparing an Plasma Bolt in his throat
However Drayko's hand shot out at Toothless' neck and began to strangle him before he sent his foot towards the Night Fury's throat, kicking him backwards as he got back up and ran forwards; Toothless refused to submit and swept him off his feet with his tail as Drayko flicked his right arm forwards and yelled out. "FREEZE!" Flashing negative as time stopped as he looked both ways and removed the Tailfin before landing some punches onto his scaly body before time resumed, with Toothless headbutting him towards the wall
From there the Night Fury pinned him as his claws were stuck in the ice and were slowly grazing towards Drayko's neck, with the Dragon Rider using Toothless' forearms as a support to lift himself up and send a double kick away from him; jumping forwards and slashing down his against his claws with his flaming sword, before having the Night Fury kick him in the face with one of his legs and spitting out some blood as a result of the impact. He followed this up with a swipe of his tail to send him down and began mercilessly mauling against his armor, which had show no damage due to being made from synthetic Dragon flesh and bone tissue; although ended up with some bloody clawmarks as they peeled into his flesh, staining his armor as they squirted out and dripped to the icy ground. He was relentless and Viggo only tilted his head down, narrowing his eyes as he looked disgusted by Drago's actions; although he soon left to return back to the Conqueror as he's seen enough, then again he did have to wonder what he looked like under that Mask of his... so he stayed in the end
Drayko stopped his brother's mauling by swinging Inferno against Toothless' forearms without a care of concern if it hurt him even in the slightest, for he was beginning to be consumed in a blinding fury of bloodlust; Toothless got off from him and grunted in pain, but continued on with swiping his sharp claws against the fiery blade of Inferno. Some of his claw swipes had struck Drayko but the flaming sword caused very little burns against his scales, he proceeded to transform his Shield into a crossbow and shot multiple Crescent Blades towards him; with the Night Fury deflecting them with the hard joints of his wings to which like before when fighting Captain Lech on that day, they bled out for their trouble but here were even worse as it was his brother that he was fighting
Drayko held his Crossbow upwards and stood as Toothless was scraping the ground, before he ran and leaped towards him with Drayko bringing out his Battlestaff to fight; especially as he spun and swung it against the Night Fury, bashing and slashing his brother. Toothless once again leaped into him, the Knights could only watch as the Hunters held them from behind like prisoners; forcing them to watch the fight that no one wanted to see before them
(A/N: This part was inspired by Samurai Jack Season 5's White Wolf V.S the Three Alien Tigers, oh and Drayko and this Dragon whose name will be revealed will come to meet each other in the next Chapter)
In the meantime elsewhere within the Archipelago as duel between the brothers were becoming bloodier and deadlier, an lone Dragon roamed along and within an barren rocky place with dark rocks and tall cliffs that kept it shrouded in perpetual darkness. This was known as the Isle of Night which was supposed to be filled with Night Furies, but in reality was an trap set up by the late Alvin the Treacherous to capture and torture Drayko into forcing him to bring the Dragons to him. The torture was brutal, terrible and babaric but in the end has escaped and marked the Island with this description: "A Night Fury nest that was once inhabited but were driven away from the ever so deadly and genocidal Dragon Hunters, used as a trap for the Outcasts to capture the Legendary Dragon Rider"
This two headed wolf looking Dragon had two pairs of wings and featured claws as the forearms while the hind legs had paws, it's tails were long with nine sharp and molten jagged stones along that they can fire from their tails and cool down on impact; although they can still be molten like lava when fired, the ends of their tails were long and bladed like whip swords with the tip being an sharp arrow head whose bottom edges on the sides went diagonally downwards. They featured charred and singed fur down from their necks and on their wolf like faces with ash always coming out when in motion. They had an dark charcoal and shadow grey underbelly with horizontal lines going from the bottom of their heads all the way to the end of their tails, with some fiery magma cracks that illuminate and resonate within the lines. This Dragon also had some smoldering ashes that continuously burn and let off smoke with lava serving as it's glowing source, it's two argali like horns curved from the top and down forwards in front of what's ahead of them; one was short in the front and the second was longer in the back, sporting pointed ears that were flattened and went backwards with their slit eyes being narrow. Their fangs they bared were curved backwards like an snake's and they looked quite fearsome, but one of the most questionable things about this Dragon was that it wore black, smoky, burned, bloodstained and ashy shackles on itself that wrapped around along it's wings, legs, arms and even necks; the reasoning behind this was a real mystery, but the blurring heat haze effect that appeared when up close was not. The best thing to say was that: The shackles acted like medals of War and Order, which can be removed at any time by their own choice
This Dragon continued to walk along the path and left behind some burning, steaming pawprints as it went on before coming to an fork in the road. It proceeded to observe both pathways with the use of it's twin heads, using their powerful instincts and snouts on their muzzles to know what's up ahead; taking the path on the right and continuing to walk on it's own accord, but stopping when three Hostile Dragons consisting of an Death Song, Titan Wing Nightmare and Slitherwing appeared before it; viciously roaring at the wolf like Dragon without showing any sign of halting their attack as they have not seen this kind before, and assumed that this Dragon was indeed inferior to them in every way
This Dragon took their hostility as a challenge but did not take their precieved judgement too lightly as his species were known for being quite the warriors either alone or together with their own blood. The Dragon struck first with an blood spraying bite onto the Titan Wing Nightmare's scales, as it was the most powerful of it's three opponents before being flung towards an rocky wall; the Titan retaliates by dodging an tornado of lava towards him as the Dragon leaped onto it's back and left another bite mark that caused blood to fill it's mouth. Leaping off and having it's left head fire off another tornado of liquid, burning lava onto the Titan; wounding the Nightmare as it fired off it's molten jagged stones against it's body to pin it's opponent to the ground just as it cooled down, with it's wings bleeding and the Dragon landing to face off against the others
The Death Song attempted to spray his opponent with it's Amber Spray, but was instead met with the right head's pyroclastic clouds that negated the firepower and left some burn marks before being sent to the wall with an flying kick towards the chest. Although it leaped forward and attempted bite on of it's necks, but instead yelped and jumped off as the Dragon raised it's heating scales to mark second to fifth degree burns on it's body; before long it charged up and let out an explosive lava projectile that had smoky flame ashes trailing from behind, leaving worse burn marks upon impact as it exploded with embers in the air
The Slitherwing was next but was afraid of the fire that appeared all over his opponent, coated in it's own lava and leaping towards him as he was pounced to the ground where it proceeded to let out an wolf like growl/roar in his face before he struck back by swinging it's tail against him; sending the Dragon off and against the wall before being bitten, having some bloody bite marks and scars coating it's napalm dripping body. But the Dragon let out an snarl and rammed in front of the Slitherwing with it's horns, stabbing it's toxic coated scales and throwing him against the Titan Wing Nightmare who was struggling to break free; the Death Song recovered weakly and the Dragon charged forward against it's attackers all at once with it's mouth glowing like lava and having fiery ember sparks fly out. It then rolled into a wheel like the Zippleback and unleashed an explosion of smoldering ashes
HTTYD
Drayko was sent flying backwards, slamming against the icy wall of Valka's Sanctuary just as he dodged an scratch that Toothless landed where his head was; just as he spun towards the floor and landed a kick to his leg, causing the Night Fury to grunt in pain as he lowered slightly. To which he took this moment to spear tackle into him, landing on his back and landing an furious barrage of punches towards his face with each blow having his own face and armor be stained with even more dark crimson blood; Toothless had then bitten his arm and smacked him in the face as Drayko continued to punch him. Heather had enough of this and yelled to them both to stop
"Both of you, stop this now!" Heather yelled, but Drayko only looked up and shouted angrily towards her
"You have no say in this!" Toothless used this distraction to launch Drayko off of him with his talons. Drayko slid backwards against the floor and flung his right arm forwards
"SLOWDOWN!" Flashing negative and slowing down time as Drayko jumped to deliver his infamous flying kick to Toothless and an roadhouse to the side before time resumed and the Night Fury felt the pain all at once, crouching low
However this was just so Toothless could leap forward and swing his claws against Inferno's flaming blade, while Drayko struck against the metal part of his tail that remained on. Drayko furiously swung his blade against Toothless while the latter did the same with his claws to the former. Sparks and blood flying as the sharp claws and Inferno scraped against both metal and flesh
"You don't want to hurt him!" Fishlegs yelled at Drayko, not wanting to see him kill his own Night Fury
"This is just a scheme to weaken the both of you, stop fighting!" Raijah screamed at them
"Drago, if your Bewilderbeast kills Drayko with his own Dragon then I will kill you myself!" Valka grunted
"He's mine, Dragon Rescuer! But that doesn't mean you're not getting half the retribution for what he's done to you..." Eret shouted since this was between him and the Madgod
However all pleadings from the Knights who were now at the mercy of the Hunters have fallen on deaf ears, for when all else seemed like a fruitless attempt to defeat Drayko; Toothless begun firing Plasma Bolts at him, to which he defended against this sudden attack. But the impact of each bolt forced him to the ground, Toothless shot another one and Drayko deflected it back with Inferno, creating an small explosion in the air; the Night Fury continued firing a few more Plasma Bolts and all of them has ended up being deflected back to small areas of the broken sanctuary ruins. Toothless reloaded and went back to fighting him head on, as Night Furies like him can reload quickly
Drayko and Toothless clashed one another with their own blades back and forth simultaneously, blood flying from within the air and the swinging of both Inferno and claws of an Night Fury could be seen creating an bubble around them; but that would soon be broken as they lock onto one another before growling and snarling at each other, with Drayko spitting in Toothless' eye and once again tackling him to the ground where he started to get even more violent. Ignoring the desperate cries of Heather, Fishlegs, Valka and the Knights for him to stop and ignoring Drago's thinning patience; he begun to press down on his eyes with his thumbs, trying to subdue him with blood coming out of the Night Fury's closed eyes before Toothless kicked him off and ran towards Drayko. In return, he ran towards an shard of ice and grabbed onto it as he swung horizontally around before letting go to kick Toothless in the snout
The Night Fury backed up upon impact and his eyes looked up at Drayko, thinned to slits and brokenly breathing out an trembling breath as he huffed in the air through his mouth and nostrils; smoke coming out and his breaths becoming louder before letting out his roar and sprinting towards him at maximum speed, claws unsheathed and ready to maul the man before him. His mind clouded, his passion shrouded and the humanity that all Dragons had within them robbed; replaced only with the will to murder on behalf of Drago Bludvist
Drayko violently gripped Inferno and his Shield before sprinting towards Toothless, the two brothers ran swiftly to the middle of the arena they fought each other in and both landed a punch all together with their left fists; the impact of the force causing an wave of wind that managed to not only knock down Drago, but also awaken some nearby Hotburples and some Foreverwings that lived elsewhere. Someone can take a guess that they ain't so happy now that they've just their beauty sleep, they ain't go no rest and they're just simply lazy with a temper worse than the Hotburples; if only they knew that they weren't all that lazy
Both Knight and Night Fury looked into one another's eyes, seeing not each other but what they hated about themselves; Drayko saw an 20 Year old Hiccup in Toothless' eyes as he was all beaten by Stoick and begged Drayko for this to stop while Toothless saw himself as a hatchling in Drayko's eyes as he was being comforted in the night by his mother through the dark fog. This is not what they wanted each other to do. No, this really isn't what they wanted to do for another; they're just not each other, they're supposed to be brothers but that's not what they saw at all
No, instead they saw what they hated the most. Drayko was fully consumed in a drunken fury of an bloodlust and snarled at the sight of Hiccup as inside his mind, he smacked him away and ignored his pleas as he started to cry. Toothless on the other hand snarled at the sight of where they were at, refusing to live the same place that he was unfairly exiled from; even as the dark fog that clouded his vision, he started to see a shed of light in Drayko's eyes that comforted him
They broke their lock and continued to fight brutally as Drayko, now drunk with bloodlust and thrown into a unstable fury had choke slammed "Hiccup" to the ground and sent him flying backwards against the icy wall that cracked upon impact. Now he saw him standing there defeated as he rushed towards him and slammed his head towards the ice repeatedly, drowning out the increasing desparating pleas of the others before seeing him bleed down from his face as he walked back to prepare his final blow
He looked back at "Hiccup" as he looked like he was about to collapse, dazed and beaten as he threw up on the ground; Drayko ran towards him one last time and preformed one final flying kick to his face, leaving him tipping backwards before landing on his knees with his face looking at the ground. As the unstable and uncontrollable fury cleared up from his sight and allowed him to see reality once again, Toothless was coughing up blood with an heavy, broken breathing that trembled as Drayko turned his back and walked away to gather his distance
Drago was INFURIATED, he will not let Toothless go down without a real fight and Drayko's death will be his ascension to take out all who show resistance of any kind; but then again he is the Dragon God after all, so he would not let him feel any sympathy for hurting his brother. Just as Toothless looked up at Drayko slowly coming over to him cautiously, Drago screamed and stabbed Toothless in the leg; having him roar in pain and angering him. Without warning, he shot off an fully charged Plasma Bolt that directly striked him, exploding on impact and seemingly killing him as his Mask was blown right off from his face; into the air as Viggo watched it fly within the crowd of Hunters, Flyers, Trappers, Divers and Marauders
But as the blinding smoke cleared up, it seems that Fate has favored Drayko once again as he was revealed to be alive and in a crouching position with Inferno ignited by his right hand; looking like he was ready to run towards him and swing his flaming blade at him, his Shield hand was on his knee that stood straight while his right leg was thrung out like he was sprinting. However there was something very wrong as his head was down and his face was not shown to anybody, but the Dragons saw his face and they were horribly disgusted by that look; Toothless had to crouch down to get the slightest piece and immediately shot his head back with his eyes closed, not wanting to see it
Drayko's Mask fell through the air and landed on the ground in front of him, he placed his hand on his face and felt nothing but flesh as his Mask was gone and he was exposed to everyone surrounding him. Nobody was meant to see this ashamed look on him, he looked more like an undead being than human and now his hideous disgusting face he has been hiding from the others was about to be revealed. He felt humiliated just like when he was the Champion of the Owl Gut for the previously mentioned Tribe long ago after he was through doing the bidding of the Hooligans and the Berk Council, but it was not his armor that came falling off of him; it was only his mask that fell off, but still it was humiliating just to be exposed to his enemies as he would rather face Berk's wrath
His right arm that had been gripping an ignited Inferno was extinguished and stabbed into the ground deeply, putting both hands down to face the ice underneath him as he pushed him up three times before launching himself up from the ground into standing up. Once the rest of the blinding smoke had cleared up all around, Drayko looked up with an ever so pissed expression as the other Dragons snarled and showed some disgust as if he was an Eel, some of them even vomited as did the Hunters, Flyers, Trappers and Divers while the Marauders made wretched sounds
Drayko's face was without a doubt, fucking "A to the Z" disgusting. His entire face covered with hot and burning smoldering ash that continued to burn his face even to this day, with fire that glowed and crushed brimstone thrown into the mix. Some parts of where his flesh was still seen had some flax yellow shown as both eyes were narrowed, around his eyes were eggplant purple and sangria red rings around them. His mouth was like skull and the wrinkles, or at least what looked like wrinkles drooped downwards from his eyes as they were angry looking. What was the worst part of it all was that his forehead was streaming multiple streams of liquid blood down his entire face as although it looked like they were all dry; they continued to run down his face before dripping onto the ground, bloodied cut scars were on some parts of his flesh as they too started dripping with blood. Finally, he had an shaved beard as evidence by the stubbles that formed his 5:00 shadow
"It's disgusting!" Drago shouted before yelling to his men. "Hunters! Flyers! Trappers! Divers! Marauders! I order you to dispose of him, NOW!" Everyone all ran towards the site of the duel between Drayko and Toothless as they aimed their respective weapons towards him; until Drayko screamed out in a voice that did not sound like him at all, it was an broken and trembling but angrily growlish voice. "SILENCE!" He looked towards Drago Bludvist as his cold and introvertive personality could no longer be maintained
"You forced me to fight my brother... release Toothless, NOW!" He demanded angrily, but Drago refused and instead made this hypocritical statement
"No. You have lost him on your own accord, instead of trying to make him snap out of my control over him; you preferred to fight him and that makes it your responsibility in the end, it's your fault" He calmly refused as Drayko let out another yell of anger before backing up towards the edge of the crevice that was created when the Black King emerged, as well as the late White King before transforming his Shield into a crossbow; pointing it towards Drago
"Are you going to shoot me? Would you want to shoot me? This Devil will not miss again" He warned him before taunting him, with Toothless snarling not at Drayko; but at the derogatory insult. "How far would you go just for me to free your Night Fury from my control? How much do you really care about him?"
"If you do not release him in the next 10 seconds..." He paused as he diagonally pointed his crossbow Shield towards the bottom of his jaw and neck. "Then I will throw myself down into the darkest depths below this crevice where you will NEVER get what you really need to become a God!"
Empress Jacqueline realized what he was talking about and quickly spoke up. "No, forget about me. I'll be alright just focus on getting your-" She began to beg before being interrupted
"Silence!" Drago slapped her, wondering what more could he need to become a real Dragon God? Unless someone was lying all this time just to keep him from becoming one
HTTYD
"Toothless' dark blood flows through my veins and when I pull this trigger, you will never become a God that you've killed so many innocents and destroyed so many places just to become one!" He declared and threatened, revealing the truth as Drago now realized that it was the blood of an Dragon that he needed; not the Empress'
"Very well... hand over the Sword and MY Night Fury is yours..." Drago offered to strike up a deal with him as Drayko growled when he called Toothless HIS Night Fury, he belonged to no one but him as he was the one who tamed and bonded with him
Drayko brought out the Sword of Emperor Dretzymiro and threw it towards the wall, stabbing into the ice while the Silver Knife was freed and fell to the ground; with the Empress grabbing it and throwing it to him, sliding on the ice as Drayko reclaimed his knife; placing it back in his slot as Drago tilted his head down, he was ready for the final blow against him
"Now... RELEASE HIM!" He screamed in anger. But Drago instead stabbed him in the back by stabbing his Bullhook into Toothless' body, scratching him with the sharp beaked blade to make him fire another Plasma Bolt at him. To which Drayko had used his Shield to block as he was now heartbroken, but enraged further by Drago's choice to not follow up on his end of the deal; he had risked his journey, for nothing
"No, this Devil belongs to me now. He's not yours anymore as an Night Fury doesn't belong to a little kid playing in his imaginary world, even as a grown and mature man which is something that you are not. But I've warned you before: Try and take him away from me, he will NOT miss a second time..."
To further add insult to injury and made Drayko even more furious to invoke his wrath, he mounted onto Toothless who was still controlled by the Black King as the skies darkened and very little sunlight had peaked through. Drayko was starting to break and blow a gasket, throwing himself into another fury of an bloodlust
"It's time you stopped living in the imaginary world you live in and face reality, playtime is over and you need to learn that you are a spoiled and cheating little boy; wanting everything to be his way while you can't take the slightest of criticism, all because your no Legend at all. Your not even worthy to be an Dragon Rider either, let alone have the right to be the bastard son of your whore mother who will share the same fate at Darkheart Prison" He insulted as directed his attention to Valka
He proceeded to take off into the sky with Toothless, but immediately started to lose control due to the inability to fly and crashed into the ground afterwards. "What?!" He turned saw that Toothless' Tailfin was missing. "You!" He screamed as he saw that Drayko removed his Tailfin just to disable his flight, once again being one step ahead of the Dragon Hunters
"Hand it over, or you'll be executed when all of you are taken as prisoners back to Darkheart Prison!" He demanded as Drayko spat in his eye in response
"No! You broke your word and refused to hold your end of the deal, you stabbed me in the back for the last time! Toothless will never fly again and you will never ride on his back, I tamed and bonded with him first before you; and now because I revealed to you that the dark blood of the Dragon flows in my veins, you will never have it. Goodbye, Bludvist!" He screamed the last sentence as he pulled the trigger and show an Arrow through his head
"No!" Heather screamed, tearing up as she was only starting to get to know him better. The other Knights reacted by either screaming, yelling his name or by collapsing on their knees; Raedwit however had his head tilted down and showed no response, observing through his narrowed eyes. Speedy also appeared to have witnessed the horrible thing he did and shrieked in agony, he wanted to cry at the loss of someone he grew attached to but refused to let them fall as he ran back home to Caldera Cay; where Mala would most definitely be both furious and shocked at the news. Not even Vixen could stop herself from shedding a tear as she now lost someone who she was attached to, Toothless broke free from the Black King's control and saw what his brother had done
Drayko's vision was blurring out, darkening as he was wobbling from side to side and breathing heavily as he puked up streams of blood. He looked up at Drago and not only gave him an defiant growl, but gave him the middle finger as he tipped backwards and closed his eyes; falling into the deep and dark crevice behind him. Drago gave chase towards him while the Hunters fired their arrows at him that missed. "DRAYKO!" He screamed out his name but it was too late, Drayko disappeared within the darkness as Bludvist only grunted. "Don't you dare DIE ON ME!"
Toothless was devastated at what he had saw, his own brother committing suicide all because of him; just to show how much he really cared and how he would kill himself just to have him back, letting out an cry of pain and despair that let every Dragon in the Archipelago and Outer Horizons hear to let him feel his pain. Suffering for the loss of his own brother he had grew up with, bonded and remembering all those adventures with him; he let his rage out and attacked Drago with not only an Plasma Bolt but with a vicious mauling before running towards the crevice, diving into the darkness to chase after his brother
Eret used this distraction to flip over an Hunter who restrained him and confront Drago, who was caught off guard from the Plasma Bolt as he brought out his twin swords; yelling this as he began to fight him: "Down you go!" but even he was no match for Drago's strength as he was smacked across the face with his Bullhook and strangled as he was held up from the ground. "You... you took away my victory!" He screamed at his former Trapper before Heather caught him in a chokehold with her Double Axe
"No, I did!" Drago struggled but ultimately threw her off as he grabbed her Double Axe, kicking her away and breaking it in half as he threw the remains down below the crevice
"Take them out of my sight, throw them all in a cell at Darkheart Prsion; they're going pay for taking away my only victory to becoming an Dragon God. As for these two..." He looked at both Valka and Eret before continuing: "These two will be the first to die! Get them all out of my sight, NOW!" He screamed out the order as the Knights were violently disarmed and taken aboard the Conqueror that hid in the fog, sailing towards the prison fortress where nobody has escaped alive; but only those who were very few in numbers
Meanwhile as Drayko's lifeless body fell and slammed into the dark, cold seas as he rode upon the tidals with the thunderstorm coming to rain down on him and the final shed of sunlight had been blocked out; everything became darkened. By forsaking the Knights and allowing them to be captured to be imprisoned within all for the love of his Night Fury, he had betrayed himself in the end
The blood that spilled from his body stained the waters and tainted the pureness of the Archipelago's seas, unknowingly awakening some Tidal Dragons nearby as the trails came crashing down below
His inner thoughts were fading away, the deathly bells ringing as they echoed away; Dagur's Crossbow which was an weapon that he had been keeping to remind himself of the Berserker Chieftain had floated out of his inventory and washed away with the storms that rained down, splashing against the surface and sending echoes of memories that became ripples. While the fate of Drayko Ryder has been left sealed for now, Dagur's Crossbow floated out far away to an Island that was within the Burning Barrens. Washing up against the rocky beach as an mysterious and enigmatic figure accompanied by an Gronckle and Triple Stryke. This figure picked it up as he began to have memories of wielding this Crossbow in the many months that passed after he had faked his death. The figure turned to face both of his two Dragons, nodding to them and leaving out of sight as they returned within the landscape; where the three of them were going no one knew but there was something that felt foreboding behind the true identity of this figure, it was someone who had the answers to both Drayko and Heather's question that the two were not prepared to ask: Is Dagur still alive?
On the Isle of Night, the bloodied corpses of the Death Song and Slitherwing lied in their own splashing pools of toxin and amber stained blood; the Titan Wing Nightmare had also lost contact with the earthly foundations, but escaped with his shallow life; the same could not be said for the Dragon who lied unconscious in his own warm and fresh blood, still boiling and bubbling as it seemingly lied dead. Both heads bled out from their mouths and did seem to move an single inch at all, but one thing was for sure and it was made clear to anyone who witnessed these two battles at the same time:
Neither of these warriors will go down that easily, especially not not someone who has faced trials greater than the enemies that they have fought. This was just a beginning of how these two warriors will meet and bond together, without speaking a single word...
This ends what I believe to be my most controversial Chapter of the Story. You couldn't have guessed what Drayko was going to do, anything but to fight his own brother no less; well it beats HTTYD 2 since that version was tragic enough, but I'll allow you to go ahead and constructively criticize me for making Drayko commit suicide at the end. Even then, what other choice did he have in the end? Not too many to think of and besides, nobody rides Toothless but him; not even Drago Bludvist as he's really crossed beyond the line now. You'll know what Grimmel the Grisly looks like soon and the Knights will be rescued, for now Drayko's gotta recover before heading out there to Darkheart Prison
However there's always that suspicious speculations in Chapters like these: What if this suicide was an illusion by Raedwit? He showed no response so he could've been involved in this. Who was that shadow at General Scorpio's gravemark and that mysterious enigmatic figure at that Island? Where is Dagur the Deranged in all of this? What was that New Dragon seen roaming alone on the Isle of Night? Some will be revealed Next Chapter while others will be revealed in the Future Chapters, so keep that in mind as I've got me an School of Dragons fanfic to write; it's protagonist appears in this Story as well just to so you know
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...

P.S: You didn't really cry at all during the whole Chapter did you? I was just teasin' you all and if you did, I can't blame you that right here. It was quite one hell of an horrible thing to read, really showing just how much Drayko would sacrifice just to have his brother back. Ah well, this Story is far from over after all...
