Even in a showdown with an chimera like this, it'll sure as hell be more than just an wild goose chase around town but that does not mean it'll be one hell of a ride
-Atticus Fabreinzio
(A/N: That man right there was the main Booking Agent for the Drayko and Toothless Mercenary Office that was supposed to be from an episodic fanfic that I decided not go with since I was afraid I might get complaints from Devil May Cry fans out there; but still the idea of having an building owned by the duo is still great, at least it'll act like an getaway for them both. Just thinking about taking some hunting jobs as an mercenary and make more than an huge payout in the end, everything will be explained in the end. This Chapter may not be any better than the last, but I've come too far to stop writing this story; I want to complete it before I finish Vengeance on Primal Twilight. For now, I ask you to bear with me here as we're very close to the end; Enjoy!)
From outside of the harbor district, the entrance had been blocked by the demonic veiny and organic pulsating web like constructs that were even more spread out here than previously; the door budged two times with unrelenting force before the sound of backing up was heard from behind, running forwards as the door finally slammed open and destroyed the demonic constructs in the process. However this also caused the doors to fall down in front of the area before the Knights, thanks to the help of both Drayko and an armored Skullcrusher
"I cannot stop knocking down doors like this, can I?" Drayko thought to himself as he tilted his head forwards, gesturing that they get a move on
The Knights proceeded onwards through the now twisted streets of what was once a beautiful land with cities filled with great and fantastic machines made from the years that have both passed and advanced into an hellish and corrupted land for the demons like Blight to roam about, leaving behind the very entrails of chaos and the lack of hope for the people to exorcise them all; it wouldn't surprise him really, no one ever tried it before and slaying them felt like he was actually slaying an human being. If they could ever be considered human enough that is, to have such regret for murdering something that isn't apart of their own race
But as the Knights made their way through the path to where the entrance into the Underworld lied, an lone demonic chimera of an beast stalks across the rooftops; leaping the gaps and crossing the large distances with such faith, ultimately watching it's prey with both heads as it's bloodlust will not be denied. His master must see them dead before his very domain, his nemesis must drown in the seas of his own darkblood that he now possessed like the Dragons that he favors and fights for; and it is he who will bring him the living and broken being of his nemesis, where his final breath will be silenced by the cursed sword Goldnail
He continued to watch the Knights explore all around as they checked the area around them, exploring the paradise of the bloodthirsty entities such as himself; the hunter continued observing their obliviousness towards his very presence, growling as he prepared to ambush them. He backed up before hand with some distance, readying himself before he began to break out into a full sprint with his speed; jumping forth to the unsuspecting heroes but had he known that Toothless would have forgotten the atrocious and toxic scent of Blight and the encounters they have faced, Foedissimae would have not expected to be caught by the sharp jaws of Toothless jumping into the air before throwing him to the side as his blood began to bleed down to the stone floor of the road
But neither did Toothless forgot the encounter with this beast as he always came prepared, should he strike again; Drayko brought forth Inferno from his right hand as Fishlegs was the first to call out: "It's the demon that tried to stop us from rescuing the Empress!" Foedissimae jumped and flipped above the Ingerman boy, swiping it's fearsome claws against him as he deflected two of the attacks; but was struck three times in the stomach before being uppercutted with his tail, to which Meatlug had retaliated with an magma fireball towards the chimera. Being struck backwards and becoming singed
He brought out Shatterquake and prepared to attack by swinging it towards both of it's heads, but Foedissimae jumped and flipped over to his back and Fishlegs immediately reacted by countering two of it's attacks before being punched in the gut and uppercuted. Meatlug had fired off her fireball towards Foedissimae and was struck in the left head, but the hunter would not let her get away as he then pounced onto her body; sending her laying on her back and proceeding to maul her with his claws, but what really got Fishlegs' rare anger that he showed was that Foedissimae attempted to bite and rip her eye out. Biting back at her harder as Fishlegs screamed out the hunter, refusing to let the demon tear her own eye out; coming back and ignoring his scars as he swung his war hammer to his stomach, with Raijah ripping Foedissimae off of Meatlug using his Phoenix Talons to leave more than just a few scratches
The hunter would not let them get the upper hand over him and smacked both Fishlegs and Raijah away from him with his tail, pouncing onto Eret as his right head bit down on one of his swords; struggling back and forth as he used his free hand to slash and stab the left one, with the chimera demon sinking it's claws down onto his chest before kick leaping off from him as Eret was left to clutch his own bleeding scars. Foedissimae prepared to bite Drayko as he parried against him with his flaming sword, swinging against his left head as it bit down onto the sword; it's bleeding gums not even once being scorched at all by the heat of the fire of the blade, at least until the molten gel splashed into it's mouth which burned the demon's throat and forced it to cough out in a burning frenzy
Heather and Frost took advantage of Foedissimae's predicament as the former spun her Double Axe against it's necks, jamming the axe blades in as the demon roared out in fury while Frost stabbed it's back with the Snowblind Trident; making him scream out in pain because who can not feel any pain from that at all, not even Freya's spell on Baldur himself can't protect her son from that. She then removed her Double Axe from it's blood sprouting neck and pinned the left head towards the ground, but this demon just wouldn't die as Foedissimae's right head removed her weapon painfully and attacked Windshear with his claws; mauling against her as she did not feel a single thing at all thanks to the Dragon Armor made from Volcanripper Metal
Maria ran up to the beast as she hacked the demon down with her axe while Stormfly flipped over to fire off some of her spines, as Foedissimae swung it's tail against her armored belly; which although it did hurt, it wasn't as painful as nothing dipped nor oxidized in Dragon Root was striking this weakspot of hers. With her preforming an trapping suplex and Drayko following it up with his infamous flying kick to both heads at once, Foedissimae gotten back up and unleashed a howling roar as it now entered an state of using the final reserves of it's power; faster and stronger as it began to furiously swipe against the Knights with it's claws, the Dragons all bombarding the demon with all types of their own firepower against it to drive the beast away. However some of them were grabbed by it's fangs and thrown towards anywhere in the hellish environment they were fighting in
When Foedissimae once again leapt over to maul Drayko, the demon was met with an shield bashing to both of it's heads before being stabbed through it's stomach with Inferno; sliding up and down to both sides vertically to spill out it's organs and turn it's blood into a waterfall, before the blade was ripped out from it's body and the demon took this chance to lead the chase onto where the entrance to the Underworld was as it would lead to Blight's Lair. However, it's ultimate attempt was to lead him into a trap where he would take him on; he land a nasty scratch onto Drayko's face and sprinted away, forcing Bladehead to lead the Knights into chasing them with Drayko going on ahead of them like always. He was running up ahead on foot as Toothless was placed onto the back of Cloudjumper by Valka, knowing that her son would never go on alone without his Night Fury by his side; he has come to be the other half of him, the dark side of the man within that has now been amplified thanks to the blood that he had given to him and now flowed through his very veins
The chase had forced Drayko to climb up onto the ancient and old timely buildings within the warped district, jumping and navigating his way through without even stopping once until Foedissimae would finally submit and fall before him; Blight would follow in his beloved hunter's path soon, for he knew just how much he really meant to the demon himself. From his many years on Berk he had come to develop all kinds of ways, all kinds of tactics of just how to truly anger someone whose attachment to those they favored and loved; even as it may not truly be love, he cared not for the consequences of what he's done just as how they did the same for him
It mattered not if his feet were beginning to burn out from the running, he was getting closer and closer with each step he made before he jumped onto Foedissimae's back; proceeding to strangle both heads in a chokehold like a cobra constricting it's prey, this action alone had caused the chimera to ram into building ruins along with constructs and other such hazards all in a fit to bring him down should it go down as well
HTTYD
In the end of it all, Foedissimae had led the Knights into his trap as he entered through the massive stone doors and smashed Drayko against the wall; leaping once again to him so that the demon may maul his bones, however he was once again intercepted by Toothless who tackled and blasted the beast with an Plasma Bolt to the chest. This attack sent the demon into the air where an trio of more Plasma Bolts were fired against it, once again being blasted in the process as Foedissimae was forced down to the ground thanks to the likes of Toothless
Drayko recovered as Toothless landed without a scratch on his scales, both ready to counterattack as the other Knights landed as soon as possible when Foedissimae lunged forward to attack; biting down on the flaming blade of Inferno as Drayko shook him off to the sides, instead deciding to do this the hard way as he ignited both of his gauntlets and boots as he was now taking the demon on face to fist
He then stepped backwards with one foot and began to hold back his fist, once again charging up what appeared to be like an volcanic meteor of magma before punching forwards; sending the projectile against the demonic chimera of an hunter that Blight favored, who was forced into dodging the projectiles shot towards it. Although the demonic beast did get struck more than a couple of times, Foedissimae did reach Drayko who retaliated with an double roadhouse kick with a uppercut to the jaw to follow; holding back his fist once again as he shot an volcanic meteor against him up close, blowing and bursting in lava as he preformed his flying kick to both of the faces once more. However, the demonic chimera had dug it's fangs onto his gauntlets; both bleeding to the scorching heat that ignited the scales and metal before he slammed him to the walls repeatedly, pinning him to the wall in order to take out it's opponent with it's tail
But as the snake tail lunged against Drayko to attack, the Knight had grabbed it by the throat and kicked the demonic chimera away before flinging his two fingers forwards; yelling out: "FREEZE!" as he activated the powers of the Bangle of Chrono Quicksilver, with time itself freezing before himself as he didn't seem to be using it as much as he did when he first used it at all. But he would not waste any time as he igniting Inferno and began an flurry of flaming sword swings against the demon, rapidly leaving more than scars and leaving more gashes on it's body than the wounds that Blight's hunter had recieved when hunting down it's prey; such as humans who offered resistance, attempting to be a hero when they could only die as one rather than to live on to become an villain like Drago Bludvist
Time resumed once more and Foedissimae had felt each and every one of the attacks by Drayko strike all at once, it's blood spewing out from various places on it's massive gashes; like waterspouts as his draining strength to continue on stained the buildings around them, although he had one last final resort to finally kill or at least subdue his opponent for Blight to kill him. But Drayko knew what Foedissimae would do as he came sprinting forward with an piercing plunge of his flaming sword to send the demonic chimera backwards, now stabbing it's chest as Foedissimae struggled to escape and by the time it slid it's way out of the blade; Foedissimae had fell to the floor as it not only bloodied and beaten, but weakened and humiliated in front of his own foes yet again. The demonic chimera growled and let out an mighty roar before limping his way through the doors, away from the Knights as it went through the stone doors; leading them to discover the entrance to the Underworld, where Blight's Lair lied within the middle of the city. They entered inside by the time they saw Foedissimae limp towards the entrance, now seeing where Blight had previously retreated beforehand
The entrance to Blight's Lair was entangled with spiderweb constructs all around the walls that were pumping an swirling vortext of blood through the middle, sharp and curved bones from before all protruded outwards and loomed over like the mouth of the beast on the walls as well; the sky had turned an reddish brown at this point and the sun shined down as it did not seemed to hurt anyone's eyes when looking directly into it, with Foedissimae turning back at them to growl and snarl at them both as if it was telling them that their showdown continues in it's master's lair before jumping down below. From down within the vortex of flowing and spinning blood, as if it was going down an funnel of sorts; before they entered inside however, Elder Custos had taken this moment to clear some things up about the truth. To which Drayko had taken notice about her appearance: "Elder Custos..."
"Yes, it is true that she is not tied by the Emperor's blood; but both ties are bound by history and experience which runs much deeper than such substance, she was an guardian like me as I have mentioned before when we first met each other. She had fallen in love with him on the fields of war and together were married until he would die in front of her eyes, after being slain by the soldier who had to free him from this curse upon him; it was by his own word that he wanted to be taken down by this warrior's hand. Now go forth Slayer of Red Death, everything that I know has been passed on to the legacy; although fate may have her sacrificed, she will be reunited at long last with those who have died during her time of rule" Elder Custos had hinted as Drayko nodded, going into the middle of the entrance
Raedwit used the aid of the blue spirit stone known as Elixir as it was inserted inside, the entrance peeling back it's flesh and the contructs dettaching themselves as they retracted back into the very walls; the swirling vortex of blood now shown some white streams as they both went down into the middle, like the sea itself going down into the funnel of the whirlpool
"Yeah, let's go all the way to hell and beyond" Drayko spoke to himself as he and Toothless were the first to swan dive into the entrance, the remaining Knights had also jumped in; causing an ripple of effect of water to appear and an crescent moon to follow in it's reflection, with Elder Custos sitting down as the Son of the Archdeacon appeared before her. His whereabouts remained unknown as it truth, he had been taking refuge to where all the other civilians had been relocated
"Have they entered the Demon's Lair?" He asked as she nodded, he let out a breath of relief as he could not stand the look of how much the place has changed since the last time the Knights were here; Blight had taken over their homeland without preoccupations nor major setbacks, the demons were abundant by the time he saw what happened outside
He had looked into the entrance and spoke to himself, praying to the Knights for their safe return from the hellish underworld that now stood before him. "Descend into the madness of Blight's Lair and behold our new kingdom from the heart of Mierveia Vde Rallie, may you Knights return with such victory in your hands"
Now they have journeyed into the deepest and darkest pits of what lied below, but where the demon himself would be remained in mystery; but before they may get to where Blight awaited for them, they must traverse the living caverns that pulsate like the heart inside...
I believe it's time that I introduce a little something for you to understand, that something just so happens to be the Dragonese Runes which I now present to you below. Here they are, because I've been waiting to clear out the document of mine for quite some time; although I just want to put them in one of the stories.

P: Like the previous "I-letter" mentioned, this one has a curved top that went around to it's backside and had three slashes going downward
Q: An Omega letter with an splintering stone resembling a lightning bolt slashing diagonally into the center as it trails off downward on the right, resembles that of the Touchstone Pictures logo

P.S: I am actually working on writing down a number of swords for Drayko and Toothless' Mercenary Office, one is from an 2006 Game known as Tomb Raider: Legend as it's supposed to be an homage to Maria Krofter; being that I based her off of Lara Croft herself
