One Day Later
"Johann! Welcome back and I see you brought a friend." Dagur the Deranged said as Johann tied his ship to the Berserker dock. "So what do you have for us today?"
"I'm afraid we're here on different business today. My friend is searching for some treasure buried under your island." Johann replied and Dagur's eyes widen.
"If there is a treasure on my island, then by Berserker Law, it is mine." Dagur remarked with pride as the small group walked off the dock.
"I just need an ancestor item from the treasure. The rest is yours." Johann's friend replied and Dagur thought it over for a few seconds.
"Fine, but I want to see it myself." Dagur said shortly before an explosion rocked the docks and Dagur turned to see Johann's boat in flames.
"Night Fury!" a Berserker yelled as two dragons flew over Dagur. He spotted the mighty Night Fury. No one has spotted a Night Fury in years. The last time it was spotted was Berk when Stoick's son disappeared. Now Dagur gets the joy of killing the most feared dragon alive. But as the Berserkers took defensive positions, he spotted Vikings riding on the dragon's back. Dagur turned to see Johann and his friend were gone. The Berserker figured that the trader was hiding out. Dagur drew his sword and raised it in the air.
"Kill the dragons!" Dagur yelled before giving out a battle cry.
"Distract the Berserkers! I'll stop Johann!" Hiccup ordered Heather as the Berserkers fired arrows at them. Hiccup and the Night Fury flew away while Heather dove down to keep the Berserkers attention. As she flew around the island, she remembered how her brother set her adrift, killed their father, and never changed. Now she was getting revenge. Hiccup convinced her not to kill Dagur, but Windshear damaged their huts. The Berserker soldiers tried to shoot them down in vain. As Windshear burned down several catapults, Heather saw her deranged brother. But before she could do anything, Windershear gave a yelp and they crash through a hut knocking Heather out of her saddle. As the Rider got back up, she saw Berserkers charging. She grabbed her ax and switch to a double ax. Blades clashed and Heather knocked Berserkers back. Then she heard a yell from behind and Heather turned in time to block Krogan's sword. The Rider managed to kick him and flip the man to the other side of her, but he recovered quickly. Their blades clash more and Heather just kept blocking Krogan's aggressive blows. But it was enough time for Windshear to swipe her tail sending the hunter back.
"Heather?" Dagur asked as he walked past Krogan. Heather readied herself for a fight with Dagur. "Of all the crazy things I've seen, this is the craziest thing a Berserker has ever done and to top it off, it's my sister!"
"Don't call me that." Heather warned as Dagur got close. He raiser his hands in the air.
"Come on Heather we're family and family is important for Berserkers." Dagur replied.
"Kill her Dagur. She's a Dragon Rider." Krogan ordered the Berserker as he stood up. Heather saw Dagar's expression turn to anger because he doesn't take orders well. The Berserker turned and kicked Krogan down.
"Now tell me why you're riding a dragon?" Dagur asked Heather as Windshear slowly overcame the effects of Dragon Root.
"Sorry, but I got other more pressing issues to attend to." Heather answered before punching Dagur in the face. She climbed onto the Razorwhip and they launched into the skies while arrows were fired at them.
Hiccup ignited his sword as he and Toothless walked through the snowy tunnels. The King of Dragons was here somewhere and in danger of Johann. Hiccup took a risk and now he has to face the consequences. If he fails to save the King of Dragons, then he lost everything. As the two friends entered a chamber, he saw something he never expected. A white spiky egg. The King of Dragons had an egg. Hiccup walked over to see the egg when he heard snow crunching behind them followed by claps. Hiccup turned to see Johann clapping with a smirk. "Thank you Hiccup. I knew you would lead me to the King of Dragons, but an egg. What an amazing surprise."
"You're not getting it Johann." Hiccup promised as Johann stopped clapping.
"You chose this Hiccup." Johann remarked and he threw a dagger into the icy ceiling cracking ice down. Hiccup dove out of the way and Toothless dove the other way. When the ice stopped falling, Hiccup stood up to see Toothless's tail stuck under a column of ice. Johann raced for the egg and Hiccup tackled the traitor. They slide in the snow stopping next to a cliff. The traitor kicked Hiccup off of him. The two stood up and both drew their blades. Johann with his daggers, Hiccup with his flaming sword. The traitor threw a dagger and Hiccup dodged it, but it cut his left cheek. The two charged and Hiccup tackled Johann off the cliff. Hiccup used his sword to slice into the ice wall catching himself. Johann used his daggers and did the same. The King of Dragons was up this cliff as an explosion echoed from above. Johann was using his daggers to climb up, but Hiccup had nothing he could use. But he had his leg. Hiccup raised his leg up and reattached the prosthetic and began to climb up.
When he felt a breeze, the Viking knew that the King of Dragons was upon them. He looked down to see a green glow. He put himself to the ice cliff before the sharp cold ran his back. It only lasted a few moments and he looked down to see Johann covered in ice but still continuing up. The King of Dragons was gone and Hiccup continued the race to protect the egg from Johann. As Hiccup got closer to the top, he saw Toothless waiting for him. The Night Fury fired several plasma blasts at Johann nearly sending him off the cliff. When Hiccup got to the top of the cliff, he reattached his leg and grabbed a Monstrous Nightmare Gel Canister. He dropped it down the cliff and saw an explosion near Johann, but the hunter kept climbing. As Hiccup grabbed another canister, he saw the King of Dragons climbing up. The Dragon sent its tusks into the ice wall and broke the wall sending Johann to his death. Hiccup backed up as the King of Dragons reached the top of the cliff. As its mouth glowed green, Toothless ran in front of Hiccup and fired three plasma blasts. The King of Dragons stopped with its attack and stared at the Night Fury. Moments later, Toothless was shaking his head. Hiccup rushed to the dragon.
"You okay bud?" Hiccup asked as he pat his friend's head. Seconds later, the dragon was back to normal. Hiccup looked at the King of Dragons and wondered if he did something to Toothless. It gave a small breath of mist and Hiccup the cold breath against his skin. The Dragon disappeared into the depths of the cave and Hiccup looked towards the egg. The massive dragon below could defend itself, but this egg is in danger. So Hiccup grabbed it and checked Toothless's tail. The metal rods were either bent or snapped in half. The Viking got onto Toothless and they raced out of the cave.
Krogan got out of sight of the battle and made his way to the cave, Johann suspected. Drago Bludvist's will wasn't to be broken. As he raced, the Flyer cut down Berserkers who tried to stop him. He raced past the rocks and cliffs to the sea knowing that Johann may already have the King of Dragons to use for himself. Krogan has never failed Drago and he promised himself he won't. As he reached the cave, Krogan noticed fresh dragon footprints. Hiccup and his Night Fury were here. The Flyer grabbed his sword and waited. If Hiccup and his dragon arrive, he'll cut them down. When the Rider and Dragon stopped at the entrance, Krogan spotted the King of Dragons egg in Hiccup's arms. "Give me the egg and I'll let you both live."
"Never." Hiccup replied and the Night Fury growled threateningly. For several minutes they stared at each other preparing to fight the other. Krogan charged and Toothless followed. The dragon knocked the Flyer to the edge of the cliff and Hiccup threw a canister releasing gas next to him as the two escaped. The canister exploded knocking the Flyer off the cliff.
Hiccup and Toothless climbed up the cliffs to find the Berserkers trying to shoot down Heather while she was burning down their village. Hiccup shook his head knowing that something like this was going to happen. Heather hated the Tribe and now she's at war with them. The Viking grabbed a flare and lit it, waving it around to get Heather's attention. He got her attention, but also the Berserkers. They fired arrows and Hiccup threw Zippleback Canisters into the charging crowd as Windshear swapped into grabbed Toothless. When an explosion echoed around them, Hiccup climbed on top of the Razorwhip to see Heather shaking her head. "How did you break Toothless's tail fin?"
"Johann." Hiccup answered as Heather turned her head to see the Rider holding a large egg.
"Whats with the egg?" Heather asked as they retreated further from the island.
"It's the King of Dragons egg." Hiccup answered and Windshear sped up.
"Okay, what about the dragon itself? Is she safe?"
"Yea. But we need to hide the egg from Viggo and the Northern Fleet." Hiccup answered as the Berserker catapults failed to take them down.
One Day Later
Thrain chopped wood for the fire when he heard Shadow snoring. The Viking looked at his dragon and saw a peaceful dragon. So he went back to chopping wood. Heather left to check on Hiccup a few days ago and they heard from either one since. It was starting to worry the Riders, but they stayed on the island, following their orders. As Thrain finished another stack of wood, he heard bells alerting him of approaching Riders. Shadow woke up and yawned as the Rider jumped on the dragon. The two glided down to the camp where Windshear dropped Toothless and both Riders got off of the Razorwhip. Thrain landed and rushed towards them. "What happened?"
"Johann was working for Krogan. Found the King of Dragons. Lucky for us me and Hiccup were able to stop them." Heather reported as Hiccup carried a large egg.
"Is that?" Dalla asked before Hiccup answered.
"Yep. The King of Dragons egg." Hiccup answered and both Dragons and Riders stared at it. "We need to protect this egg at all cost."
"How? We no longer have a base." Hermund Johan remarked.
"Look, the Edge might be a smoldering wreck. But we managed to fight off the Hunters, Northern Fleet, and everything the world threw at us. We will get through this and we'll make sure that every Dragon on Midgard is safe from whatever else the world has left for us." Hiccup said giving much needed hope for the Riders.
Three Days Later
Hiccup left the egg on the rock, Mala told him about it so a friend of the Defenders can protect it. But Hiccup insists to get the egg there and protect it. Unfortunately for him, the Rider was running late so he has no idea if this friend is already gone. When Hiccup placed the egg on the rocks, Toothless hissed and the Rider turned to see a massive dragon he has never seen before. On top of the dragon is a masked man with armored made of some type of material. The man slid down the wing it the dragon revealing to be holding a strange looking staff. Hiccup lowered his hand to signal Toothless to calm down as the masked man walked towards him.
"Hey. Here's the King of Dragon's Egg. I'll just go." Hiccup said as the man inspected his face weirdly. He heard a gasp and the stranger backed up.
"Hiccup?" a feminine voice asked and the Rider's mind was surprised.
"Do I know you?" Hiccup asked concerned and the woman took off her mask revealing a middle age woman.
"No. You were only a babe. But a mother never forgets." she replied and Hiccups world turned upside down.
