The next morning, at the docks, Stoick and the Vikings with him returned home. But, out of all of the Viking ships that sailed with him to find the Dragon's Nest, only one managed to come back and badly damaged, the sails having gaping holes in them and the hull scorched in several places by countless barrages of fire blasts. The Viking warriors that stood behind helped the others (who have been wounded in their crusade while others had been lost) off of the ruined ship just as a defeated and disgruntled Stoick managed to disembark.

"I trust you found the nest, at least?" Gobber asked, having heard of his return and arriving to greet him.

"Not even close, hot off the grid," he muttered, frustrated at his and his fellow warriors' failure. "Uh... Excellent, I think."

"I hope you've had much better success than we had."

"Well, if by success, then yes. You mean that your parenting troubles are over," smiled Gobber, surprising Stoick as he turned to him before an uproar of voices sounded off and his people on the island ran to him.

"Congratulations, Chief Stoick! Everyone is so relieved, now!"

"Totally! Out with the old, in with the new, right?"

"Nobody will miss that old nuisance!"

"Hear, hear!"

"Here's to your son and his friend!"

"The village is holding a party to celebrate!" the Vikings cheered, further surprising him as he blinked.

"He's gone?"

"Well, yeah, most afternoons. But, who could blame them?" Gobber continued as they walked back. "I mean, the life of a celebrity is very rough. They can barely walk through the village for two minutes without being swarmed by their new fans."

"Hiccup, Zenna?!" spluttered Stoick, now shocked.

"Who would've thought it, eh? He, Zenna, and Sarah have this unique way with the beasts, Sarah especially. You should've seen her had you not been out looking for the nest, it's as if she's one of them and knows how they think or feel. Something tells me that all three of them are very special."

At this, Stoick could only smile; he thought Hiccup would definitely become a great Viking if he finally followed in his and his people's footsteps as he decided to hope but what he didn't know was that he was in for the surprise and shock of a lifetime.

At the same time as Stoick's return, Hiccup, Zenna, and Sarah were flying with Toothless, Shadow, Winter, Stryka, and the other dragons, and even Rotom-Dex for a test flight to further see what can be done with Toothless' new fin. So far, things were going pretty well and they were enjoying themselves as things were starting to go off without a hitch this time.

"Okay, Hiccup, we're going to run through this one more time before we make our way back," noted Rotom-Dex. "Do you remember the positions you need to practice if we're to have him flying perfectly and for you two to have full control over the fin?"

"Aw, no sweat. I got my cheat sheet and we've been practicing with Sarah's help so we've got it down this time," replied Hiccup before he looked down to Toothless and rubbed him. "Okay, buddy, we're gonna take this nice and slow." He then looked to Sarah and Zenna, the latter having a lot of fun riding on Stryka.

"You okay, girls?"

"Just peachy!"

"Do I have to answer? WHOO-HOO!" they called excitedly. Nodding to them, Hiccup checked the stirrup and moved his foot to adjust the fin and make Toothless turn left.

"Alright, Toothless, go time," he replied, Toothless folding his wings in response while they went across the sea and dove down before they ran just above the water. "Come on, buddy, you got this."

Toothless' wing tip touched the water's surface as they flew while Sarah (riding on Winter) looked up as they flew under an arch, smiling as some wayward seagulls flew above them. She felt free whenever she would occasionally fly with her dragons across Alola and she was feeling it while they were away from Berk, the same being said for Zenna and Hiccup along with their Night Furies (Hiccup seeing how much more successful Toothless was being with the improvements to his tail fin).

"Yes, it worked!" he cheered as Toothless flew upward before he ended up hitting a sea stack. "Ah, sorry."

Then, they immediately hit another sea stack which got Toothless glaring at him. "That was my fault-OW!" he admitted before he was slapped in the face and on top of his head with his ear appendages.

"Okay, I get it now. Let's see, which is... Four-no, three," he mused as he looked at the cheat sheet he got out.

As he read, the male Night Fury belonging to him let out an excited roar as he started to fly upward into the sky while Zenna, Sarah, and their dragons followed close behind. "Yeah! Go, baby, go! You're doing great, bud! Keep at it!" Hiccup cheered again.

He continued to cheer until the wind that picked up as they flew higher and faster caused the cheat sheet to fly out of the saddle. "AH! Cheat sheet, stop!" he cried, unintentionally causing him and Toothless to plummet out of the sky without him on his dragon to control him.

"Oh, SHIELDS!" shrieked Zenna, diving with Stryka after the duo with Sarah, Rotom-Dex, and her dragons following behind.

"Jeepers! By their increasing velocity, if we don't stop them, they'll crash into the sea at potentially 100 mph faster than a Mamoswine!" cried Rotom-Dex, trying to calculate the statistics of Hiccup and Toothless' ongoing fall.

"Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods!" Hiccup panicked as he and Toothless continued falling.

He tried to get back on his dragon in order to regain control when they were leveled but with Toothless spinning like crazy as he divebombed with him, it made things harder for him, especially since he was slapped in the face with his tail multiple times in his failed attempts.

But, after several failed tries, he finally got back on his saddle and clipped his harness back into place but they were still going much too fast to slow down in time to prevent an accident. Toothless tried to help soften the blow and/or delay their fall by spreading his wings out and he screeched at Hiccup to do something while the Viking underdog glanced down at his retrieved cheat sheet, only to find out that they're heading for more sea stacks.

Throwing the paper away (which was caught by Zenna and stowed away before it could fall into the water), Hiccup hurriedly worked the stirrup again to switch the tail fin's position and he managed to guide Toothless out of the sea stacks without hitting them, leaving the fog bank they're in with the girls and the other dragons.

"YEAH!"

"Wicked!" the Viking underdogs cheered.

Stryka and Toothless could hardly contain their own excitement as they roared happily while the latter shot a plasma blast at them in excitement.

"Oh, come on," the young Vikings moaned after seeing that.

Sunflare, realizing what was about to happen, came forward and used her wing blast to move the flames that followed but they still got some slight burns from the explosion, making her glare at Toothless and having him wilt with a sheepish smile towards her.

Eventually, they decided to settle on a small island to have a break as Hiccup got some soot in his face from Toothless' blast and his hair was blown back while his clothes were burned. Zenna didn't suffer much damage aside from her burnt close and her hair was a little singed but Sarah was unharmed thanks to her Moon Shield.

They even decided to spend their little break before heading back by cooking fish skewered over an open fire while Stryka and Toothless shared a pile of fish that they've managed to literally "fish" from the sea. In the meantime, Hiccup, Zenna, Sarah, and Rotom-Dex went over the results of their test flight for the wild male Night Fury to see what else they can improve or if everything went as planned despite the slight hitch from coming across the sea stacks and Hiccup and his dragon's previous folly. Toothless regurgitated a fish head before he looked at the humans to offer it but they declined, preferring their fish skewers instead.

Sarah's dragons, on the other hand, snoozed or basked in the sun as they preferred to eat a little later while the humans, Stryka, and Toothless had their meals. While they were enjoying themselves, a couple of wild Terrible Terrors landed on the same island they're on, two of them noticing the fish head.

While they fought over the fish head, a third Terrible Terror tried to take some of the fish Hiccup and Zenna's Night Furies but Toothless noticed them and took the fish it was taking back, laughing at its futile attempt. The tiny dragon tried to look tough and blast him to win the fish back but it caused him to flop to the ground, its own blast backfiring on it and making Toothless laugh at it harder.

"N-n-no fair..." It coughed before slumping down in defeat, sounding like a tiny male dwarf from one of Disney's Silly Sympathy shorts.

Hiccup smiled in amusement as he saw what was going on and gave him another fish. "Not so much fireproof on the inside, are you?" he asked, the Terror smiling in gratitude as he ate it.

Then, to further show his gratitude and that he's now a friend to him and his friends, he came between Zenna and Hiccup before he curled up beside them. At that moment, Hiccup finally realized that everything Sarah told him and Zenna about the dragons is true and what his people told them is utterly wrong.

"...Sarah was right, you guys are not really brainless beasts. Everything we and our people know about you guys, is wrong," he sighed after coming to terms with the lies the Vikings told him and his best friend while Zenna looked at the Terror as well, thinking the same thing as she frowned.

She knew that even though they managed to keep their closely-guarded secret about Sarah's dragons, Stryka, and Toothless under wraps, for the most part, she knew that Astrid is getting more and more suspicious of them and what they're doing involving them each day. The female Viking also knew that Stoick will be back from his journey to find the Dragon's Nest (not knowing that he's back and her parents will be if they had gone with him) and she wasn't sure how she was going to put the subject on them and everything they once knew about the dragons being a complete set of lies as gently as possible. If Sarah's dragons' fears about their people not changing their minds about them are true and they refuse to accept the truth, she and Hiccup weren't sure if they could forgive themselves if everything gets out of control by their own hands.

While the Viking underdogs were lost in their thoughts, the Night Lights were having fun as they roughhoused each other, tumbling on the ground before Dart saw something black peeking out from behind some nearby rocks at the corner of her eye.

"...Sis?"

"What's up?" asked her brothers.

"What's that?" she replied, leading them to what she found, which caught Sarah's attention as she went to them.

"What'd you find, Dart?" she asked, Winter and Shadow's children rolling two smooth, oblong eggs (similar in shape to a chicken's egg) with a jet-black coloring with lighter blemishes.

Hiccup and Zenna also saw the Night Lights bringing the dragon eggs they found over to them and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Whoa..."

"Are those really dragon eggs?" they gasped, trying to take in the sight of the new eggs.

"Mom, Dad!"

"Come see what we found!" called Pouncer and Ruffrunner, getting Shadow and Winter's attention as they joined their kids.

"Do you know what these are, Dad?" Dart quizzed, showing them the eggs, causing them to gasp and look between themselves and the eggs in shock.

"Children! Do you know what you three just found?" gawked Shadow, looking over the eggs as they shook their heads in confusion. "Those aren't just ordinary dragon eggs, they're Night Fury eggs!"

"No way...!" blinked Sarah, hearing what he said before she looked at her new friends in stunned awe.

"What did they say?!" gasped Zenna, realizing the Night Lights found something big as they looked back in surprise at the eggs they found.

"I think Dart and her brothers found themselves some Night Fury eggs," replied Sarah, still stunned.

"Night Fury eggs?!"

"Oh, holy shields...!" spluttered the Viking underdogs in amazement before Hiccup theorized, "You think they could belong to Stryka and Toothless? They were mates for a while by the looks of it."

"I don't think so, Hiccup. These eggs have been on this island for a while and nobody knew about them for some time, even your people if they've been doing some illegal dragon hunting," countered Rotom-Dex, looking at the eggs closer while he took pictures of them. "And, besides, even if Stryka and Toothless are mates, it usually takes a Night Fury couple's gestation period about three months before a female even lays an egg."

"He's not wrong there," replied Sarah in agreement.

Hiccup blinked again, "You both knew all that?"

"My godfather did give me prior dragon lessons since Winter and my other dragons crossed over and Rotom talked him into explaining things to him as well since he decided to log in dragon data as well after we found out about them."

"But, who would be responsible for leaving these eggs behind?" questioned Skystorm.

"I'd love to give those dragons a knuckle sandwich for this," added Hydro.

But, before any of them could jump to any more conclusions, Camo sniffed as he felt a cold but familiar chill in his spines, "Wait, does anybody here smell something familiar?"

"Yes, I do, Camo," nodded Shadow, sniffing something as well.

"I do, too," replied Voltage.

"But, what is it?" asked Rosethorn, now becoming worried.

"I don't think they left those eggs behind on purpose since it's more like..." Sarah began as she sniffed with her enhanced sense of smell until she gasped in horror to find out that it was, in her mind, "...The smell of blood!"

Hoping it was not what she thinks it was, she hurriedly ran off while the others followed, surprised and worried by the look of horror on her face and having the same direction of the smell of blood that wafted the air. They soon reached another nearby bush and carefully, with a deep breath, she pulled apart the bushes but the sight of what they found caused everybody to gasp, scream, turn away, or yelp in thunderstruck horror.

There, lying dead on the floor in front of them, was another Night Fury couple but they looked to have been dead for a few days, at least. Both of them looked like they've had devastating head injuries most likely from blood-forced trauma and the pools of blood they were in, while dry, turned out to be fresh. The reason couldn't be more obvious for everyone; someone had found this other Night Fury couple and killed them, making their eggs essentially orphans.

"Oh, Gods..."

"Great Thor All-Mighty..." breathed Hiccup and Zenna, neither of them moving in sheer terror of what had happened.

"Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it can't be!" Boulder gulped, terrified.

Toothless, Stryka, and Shadow had tears in their eyes as they tried to take in the sight of two of their species being dead, none of them having anything to say.

"Oh!" cried Twilight, coming closer to her and Dawn's parents while the younger dragons hid behind their own parents.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, Sarah could now see that the majority of people living in Berk absolutely hate dragons or wanted to hunt them down and kill them for sport or whatever trophies they want from them. She didn't want to lose hope for Berk and its people on account of her close friendship with Hiccup and Zenna but even she was now starting to admit, at the back of her mind, there was no hope for the Vikings in changing their minds. If there were any more people in the majority who'd want to kill the dragons for one reason or another and they truly were beyond saving given how steadfast many are in their beliefs that they're dangerous creatures without seeing the full truth or they did but they deluded themselves deeply from it, the little princess had no idea what to do if any more people like the Vikings would show up and do the same. The sight of the dead Night Fury couple before them told her a harsh truth despite her firm beliefs in resolving things peacefully: some people would never change.

But, she didn't have time to dwell on those negative thoughts for everybody soon heard a few more roars from close by. Keeping the orphaned eggs close to them and paying their respects to the dead dragons with a promise to properly bury them later, they came into a small clearing and found another pack of six wild dragons, three of which were wounded.

Amongst them, there was a female red Changewing and a Buffalord pair of the Mystery Class, a female Threadtail of the Stoker Class, and a Rumblethorn pair from the Tracker Class.

- As a cousin to the Dramillion species, the Changewing looked to be about 52 ft. long and 8' 04" tall, being close to Shadow's size, having a cream underbelly, yellow eyes, leaf-shaped pines running down her back, and a pair of antennae with leaf-like lobes off to the sides. She also had a pair of horns protruding from the back of her hand and a single horn on her nose while her teeth protruded from her lower jaw.

- The Threadtail, however, was 40 ft. long, and compared to her large body, her legs were relatively short while her large and rounded frill was outlined with round spikes on the back of her head that gave it the appearance of a royal's crown. A greyish dusty pink coloring with sunny yellow and turquoise stripes coated her entire body while her golden-yellow horns and spikes and her orange feet stood out like a bunch of sore thumbs in addition to her light blue eyes and head crest as spikes ran along her tail. Her spine ridge also ran from her nose down to the tail as her skin was covered with many round bumps and lumps.

- The Buffalords, on the other hand, were both brown and bronze, standing 30 ft. long and 30 ft. high with turtle-like heads and horns growing on both sides and forward. A single rhino-like horn grew atop their skulls and they had large wings with four small legs positioned close to the mid-section of their bodies along with a row of spines running along their backs and smaller horns scattered among those same backs.

- The Rumblehorns: dragons looking like a mix of truffle pigs, a rhinoceros, a battle-ax, and a scarab beetle. These dragons have heavily armored bodies on their front halves with armor plates on their necks coupled with relatively large wings, wide torsos, and tails with club-like hammers on their tips. And, to top it all off, aside from their large lower jaws, their muzzles were shaped like battle axes and they each have a pair of sharp, elongated horns.

With the Rumblehorns, the female was dark red and had a pale orange belly and horns with large red, yellow, and blue rings decorating them coupled with a blue line and yellow spines running down her back and tail that has white dots on the base while the male had a gold coloring on him but with blue and pink plates, rainbow-colored wings, and bright blue spikes running down his back and tail, his red head having a pink nasal horn splitting at the end.

As they looked at the dragons continuing to take shelter in the clearing and live out their lives as best they can closer, everybody saw that the three aforementioned wounded dragons had multiple scars on their faces and wings.

"What happened to them?"

"What's with all those ugly scars?" questioned Hiccup and Zenna, their worry still taking them over.

"My guess is the same one you guys have: they must've got them from humans. Those six are more victims of the Berk Dragon Wars but their wounds looked like torture which could be worse than death," noted Rotom-Dex darkly, unable to see past what humans have done to the wild dragons.

"Humans are still at it?!" gasped Nova quietly, outraged.

"This is terrible!" gawked Flystorm.

The Rumblehorns, feeling like they and their companions weren't alone, snarled as they turned to their eavesdroppers and confronted them. Startling their audience, they each scraped their front right foot on the ground like bulls and rhinos and started to charge at them to attack before Sarah darted out and held out her hands in surrender.

"WAIT!" she screamed, causing them to stop inches away from her as they got in her face and snarled before she continued, "It's okay, we're sorry for trespassing but you must know we don't mean any harm."

"Ha! Like we haven't heard that one before," scoffed the female Rumblehorn, not realizing she talked to the princess. "You humans are all the same; you saw us as nothing but mindless animals when we're just as much harmless creatures with feelings that won't attack unless we're provoked. You sought to capture and torture us, having us be trophies stuffed and mounted on your walls or eaten for dinner, you showed us no mercy when you end up killing our own people!"

"Your kind proved our point when they bludgeoned our leaders to death and left their children alone so they all paid the price with their lives by our unleashed fury!" added the male Rumblehorn, not letting up on his anger.

"Please, just listen! We know, my friends and I found their bodies... We're sorry, but the truth is... We're not like those humans you mentioned. My family and I are only here to help bring an end to the Dragon Wars, please, just trust me..."

"Trust you? Then, where are our leaders' children, what did you do to them?" snarled the male Rumblehorn again before he and the female saw Shadow coming in with the eggs carefully laid on his back. "You found them... What are you planning to do with their offspring?"

Sarah took the eggs gently and held them out for them to see, her sorrowful eyes showing great sympathy for the six dragons, "I couldn't just leave them alone after their parents died. They have no one left to look out for them anymore so I'm doing the one thing you don't expect any humans in this world to do... I'm taking them as my own children."

The dragon pack before her glared, unsure of whether they could trust a human of all creatures to take care of the hatchlings belonging to their late leaders/parents given what had happened a couple of days prior.

None of them could put their trust in her after losing their leaders to humans staining their hands with their blood and they wanted to maul her if they think she would backstab and lie to them, deciding to do what she wanted with them. But then, suddenly realizing they and their fellow dragons could talk to her and due to their incredibly docile nature, the Buffalords fluttered over to the princess as they looked at her in surprise before they gave soft and meek smiles.

"Hi," they greeted, waving meekly and yet cutely.

"Aww, look at you," cooed Sarah, making them blush. "You guys are so cute!"

"Whoa, are those real-live Buffalords?" gasped Zenna in awe as she and Hiccup emerged from the bushes with Rotom-Dex joining them so he could examine and take pictures of them. "I never knew there were any of them left, let alone two."

"What do you mean?" quizzed Rotom-Dex.

"Buffalords were thought to be hunted to extinction during the Scourge of Odin, a deadly plague that completely tore the Archipelago centuries ago along with entire villages living in the area," Hiccup replied before he sadly recalled the truth about their extinction and gently rubbed their heads, which they enjoyed as they happily purred, to the shock of the other dragons. "And, unfortunately, we Vikings were responsible for them being gone. It's been said that the saliva of a Buffalord had the power to save everyone affected from the plague so they were hunted down to the last dragon just for that. These two might be the only ones left in existence and they did a real good job at hiding if they managed to live this long."

This horrified Sarah and her dragons as they realized that a deadly disease that nearly took down the entire human race in the Archipelago resulted in the near-extinction of one species of dragons. It also hardened a newfound resolve in her to do something for any dragons that are endangered and suffering the same fate as the Buffalords.

"They won't be extinct as long as I'm around. I'm taking these two in for a conservation project," she announced.

"What?"

"Conser-what?" blinked the Viking underdogs in confusion.

Rotom-Dex was only happy to give them a hand, "It's simple; Conservation is the human practice in our world where humans create campaigns to encourage everyone to protect and preserve plants, animal species, and their natural habitats that are at risk of becoming extinct due to habitat losses, hunting, poaching, and so on. And, I can see where Sarah's going 'cause with these two, we can hopefully breed them to preserve their species and increase their already low numbers and we can do the same for the Night Furies as they're also on the verge of extinction."

"The Night Furies, also going extinct?" repeated Hiccup.

"What are you talking about, Rotom?" quizzed Zenna, getting a sinking feeling in her stomach.

"Remember the Dragon Manual we read not having anything involving the Night Furies a few nights ago? This may be because there are very few of these magnificent creatures left in your world due to excessive cases of poaching and hunting for sport or profit on anything that Vikings, dragon hunters, or anybody else in this world can make a quick buck out of from them. That means along with the Buffalords, the Night Furies are also in danger of being extinct. As of right now, these offspring with us, Shadow, Toothless, and Stryka are the only Night Furies left alive."

Hiccup and Zenna were once again left stunned in horror and shock by what they've heard; no wonder there was barely anything recorded on the Night Fury, their people and others were hunting the Night Furies down to the last ones until there was nothing left of them.

"If anything, should we put our energies into creating a campaign to get any remaining Night Furies found and preserved and these eggs with us hatch into a male and female dragon pair, even if they're both from the same family, we can probably bring them back. And, we'll do the same for the Buffalouds with those two," finished the living Pokedex.

The dragon pack was stunned by what Rotom-Dex told Hiccup and Zenna about conservation and the possibility of bringing back two endangered species of dragons out in the wild without fear of being hunted and for their lives again. They once thought that all humans in their world are all the same given what had happened to them and their leaders leading to their orphaned offspring but upon meeting Sarah and speaking to her despite not knowing she could talk to them yet, they started to feel something that they've long forgotten in their struggle for survival: hope.

Could this be their chance to take the first step towards a new life and trusting a human such as the princess? Would it all be worth it if they do join forces with her and assist in her future conservation on reviving extinct dragons?

"...Is that what you're really planning to do?" asked the female Rumblehorn after a mental debate.

"...Yes," nodded Sarah in response.

That was enough for the female Rumblehorn as she came forward and bowed to her in respect. "Then, I have no reason to doubt you, human. Allow me to help you and protect you and our leaders' offspring," she vowed, offering her strength and whatever protection she'll need along with that of the orphaned eggs she still has on her.

The other dragons including the friendly Buffalords followed suit, lending their service, trust, and protection to her, all of them taking the first step towards what could potentially be a better life for them all.

"Thank you. Please, get up," the princess nodded, urging the dragons to relieve themselves of their bows. "Just so you'll know, my name is Sarah Tomoe."

"Of course, Sarah. Let us know how we can be of service to you," replied the male Rumblehorn with another small bow to her. "Don't make us change our minds about you."

"Hey, Sarah! Look what I found!" called Dart, pushing a medium-sized chest she had found while everybody else was lost in the confrontation, covered with silver outlines with a symbol of dragons showing on it.

"What's this?" questioned Sarah as she joined her Night Light with Hiccup and Zenna beside her.

"It looks like a Dragon Chest," Zenna theorized.

"What's it doing here?" questioned a concerned Hiccup.

"I don't know, we better open it and see what was left behind," replied the princess, quickly opening the chest.

Inside, there was a tube-like cylinder device with metal rings covering it. The device's opening was shaped in the form of a dragon's mouth as the back had several buttons featuring each dragon class known in Berk but the rest of it had a woody brown coloring having ancient writing and symbols decorated on it along with a rotating mechanism. But, what's really odd about the device they found is that it had 100 circular lenses with it.

"Get out!"

"Holy Shields..."

"Great Odin...!" breathed a stunned Sarah, Hiccup, and Zenna.

"What is it, Daddy?" Sunflower quizzed Camo as the others looked at the device.

"I'm not sure, hon. But, I have a bad feeling about that thing," Camo answered apprehensively.

"Ditto, something about that crazy thing doesn't sit right with us," nodded Pyre as he and Wildfire backed away from the device in its chest.

"Maybe Tsukumaro knows something about it," requested Rotom-Dex. "We should head back and let him know along with the eggs belonging to the dead Night Furies. It's getting late, anyway."

"Good idea but I think we should give them a proper burial first before we head for home," nodded Sarah, closing the chest and handing it to Hiccup before giving Zenna the Night Fury eggs. "Hiccup, you and Toothless take the chest. Zenna, you carry the eggs until we reach my family's campsite."

"Right," the Viking underdogs nodded, knowing what they have to do.

And so, after returning to the dead Night Furies to pay their last respects to them and help their old dragon pack to bury them so that they can rest in peace along with Sarah promising to look after their offspring for them, everybody made their return to Berk so Tsukumaro can tell them about the device they found. After making it back to the cove, the dragon pack joining them tried to get themselves accustomed to what could be their new life with Sarah, the Buffalords finding the Dragon Nip grass nearby and grazing on them with happy smiles on their faces.

"We're back!" Sarah called to her Pokemon (who have all stayed behind while she, Hiccup, and Zenna were on Toothless' test flight) and Tsukumaro.

"Ah, Princess, you're back. And, I see you brought home some new acquaintances," smiled the old advisor, shocking the dragon pack when they heard the word "princess" out of his mouth as they looked over to Sarah again.

"Yeah, we found them and a few things with them while we're out," she said.

"I see. But, what are these things you mentioned?"

"Right here, Sir," replied Zenna as she and Hiccup brought the Night Fury eggs and the chest over to him, the latter opening the chest to reveal the device they found inside.

"You know what this is, Tsukumaro?" Hiccup inquired, Tsukumaro becoming grim as he examined it.

"Unfortunately, I do. This is actually the Dragon's Eye, it is an ancient object holding valuable information about other islands and current locations of dragons like the ones my goddaughter has on her now. The lens you have with it can reveal the locations of the other lens that have been lost since whoever owned them ceased to exist over time. This weapon was primarily created to hunt for them by some of the most dreaded people to ever roam this world, the ruthless Dragon Hunters."

"Dragon Hunters?!" gasped the trio before him.

"Boy, were we lucky to find it and not them even if they could somehow be alive," Hiccup sighed.

"Well, they did say that they killed the hunters after they made the eggs we found orphans. But, how it got there, not sure how they managed to lose it," replied Sarah before Zenna gave her the eggs so she could show him. "But, we also found these with it. I think they might be Night Fury eggs, Shadow can confirm it."

"Really, that must be an amazing find for you, Princess," smiled Virizion before she turned to Shadow. "Are they really Night Fury eggs, Shadow?"

"No doubt about it. I'd known that coloration on them like the back of my wingtips," replied Sarah's Night Fury before he grew solemn, remembering the dead Night Fury couple they found after their eggs. "Unfortunately, not only have my and Winter's children found them alone but we've also discovered their parents have been killed and they're now essentially orphans."

The Pokemon and Tsukumaro gasped in horror and shock; with Tsukumaro noting the Dragon Hunters after recognizing the Dragon's Eye, it was clear who was to blame for what happened to them.

"Are you kidding me?!" gawked Zorua.

"That can't be!" gasped Terrakion.

"Mama, are they really dead?!"

"That does not inspire confidence to go up against these Dragon Hunters!"

"Oh, the poor dears!" cried Nebby, Mischief, and Persian, looking devastated.

"This is such a heinous crime for humans to commit against a race of dragons that just wanted to live in peace, let alone two who want to raise a family of their own!" grumbled Cresselia, appalled by how low humans in the world they're in are willing to sink to.

"I oughta slug those baboons for staining their hands with innocent dragon blood!" snarled Talonflame.

"You're already too late for that, Cuz," Spark retorted to the Kalos Fire/Flying Type. "The dragon pack we found soon after told us they killed the hunters responsible for their leaders' demise themselves, three of them also got battle scars on them as proof of that."

"And, even if those bastards do live to tell the tale, I bet ya they could maul them inside out all over again just to continue exacting their revenge for what happened to them," added Mist.

"They've got a point there, Talonflame. And, no, we're not kidding on that. We've found out that they had blood forced trauma after taking many blows to the head," replied Sarah. "They've been dead for a few days before we found them. And, as Mist and Spark said, they were the leaders of the small pack we've decided to take in."

She then looked at the eggs in her hands, "And, I've decided there's one thing I must do for their children when we go back home; I'll keep them and start a conservation project for their species and the Buffalords."

"Conservation?"

"You mean like what those guys on those TV programs of the World Wildlife Association we saw were doing?" inquired Kion and Kiara.

"Mother, are you sure you can handle babysitting those little rascals when they hatch and juggle that with looking after two more babies?" Silvally quipped skeptically.

"Not without you all helping me, like before. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, this is what Shadow, Toothless, and Stryka would've wanted." "I'm all for that but you do know that puts us in another conundrum, right?" reminded Keldeo. "With those eggs in your hands, you can't possibly walk back into Berk after what those Vikings and Dragon Hunters have done."

"I agree. With Hiccup and Zenna's rising fame as well as your own with everything you've done throughout their dragon training, it'll become even harder for you three to keep them in the dark about us and the other dragons," noted Blossom grimly.

"And, the white stone Blitz told us about, we don't know exactly what it does," replied Sokka, referring to the white round stone on the portable dinner tables Tsukumaro was still looking over along with his crew.

"What I want to know is how did it even get here," Scorch said, scratching his head over the stone.

"Who knows? But, whoever left it here must've either lost it or it somehow came here on its own accord," Aqua guessed.

"And, if I may add, Princess, there is also an increasingly worrying matter involving that ruffian of a Viking you, Hiccup, and Zenna call Astrid," added Noctowl as he flapped over to Sarah. "She's the most suspicious out of all the Vikings in the land and every success you've had will soon draw her to us and she'll soon spill the beans to everybody including Stoick and Zenna's parents."

"You do have a point, Noctowl," nodded Sarah, seeing that he was right. Hearing everything, Tsukumaro then came up with a plan for her; using a Doubling Charm and another Undetectable Extension Charm, he made a new satchel for his goddaughter with an expanded interior. This would allow her to carry the eggs without drawing any unwanted attention to her while she keeps the white stone safely in her personal satchel. Everyone could only hope that if their cover isn't somehow blown, they'll be able to carry out their mission.

That night, after they once again left Toothless, Stryka, and Sarah along with her family at the cove, the Viking underdogs returned home and thought about what they had witnessed during the day. This turned out to be a day of hefty and horrifying revelations for Hiccup and Zenna and it had completely flipped everything they and their people once knew about the dragons; after seeing how Winter and the other dragons acted, learning of their origins, seeing how the Terrors reacted, and the dead Night Fury couple, they now have good reason to doubt everything they've been taught about the dragons.

What made it harder for them to think about breaking the truth is that everyone would be forced to realize one way or another that it's not the dragons who are the monsters, it was their own people and others like them. This means that they'll lose everything they've once yearned for in their previous mindsets and they didn't want to lose either of those things. But, what can they do?

For Zenna, she was sketching a drawing of herself and Stryka on her bed when she heard her parents entering the house. "Hi, honey, we're home!" called Edgar, just as she hid the paper and charcoal pencil under her pillow before greeting them.

"Uh, hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!" she smiled, trying to keep a cool head. "How'd it go with you?"

"No luck, so far. But, our precious sapphire gemstone, it's good to see you again," continued Edgar as he ruffled her head. "We've heard the news from Gobber involving you and Hiccup, we're so proud of you!"

"Heard what from him?"

"Your exemplary performances in Dragon Training, of course! I never thought I'd see the day when you would climb up the ranks to become a true Viking and so would Hiccup since you both have a way with those dastardly beasts!" cheered Henna as dread filled Zenna's heart. "Tomorrow will be your last day of training before your final exam so you'll have a chance to prove yourselves before Gothi decides who will kill a dragon in the ring."

"We know you and Hiccup will do us all proud. I realize now we should've given you this when you were ten so you could start learning it but there's no time like the present the way you're going," added Edgar, handing her what looked to be a shield painted in a beautiful shade of royal purple with an emblem of a black lightning bolt painted in the center. "We want you to have this shield for it once belonged to your brother. I'm sure that if he were here now, Elias would've wanted you to have it, too."

Despite the dread continuing to fill her heart on account of her new mindset, seeing the shield brought back some memories of her childhood before her brother's untimely death. It was the shield Elias had once received after graduating from Dragon Training and she remembered how happy he was when Gobber first gave him his Viking warrior gift. Compared to him, it was much bigger and heavier than he thought but regardless, he held it up with pride. And now, it was hers.

"Thanks, Mom, Dad... I love it," she replied, hugging her parents as she took the shield.

Despite her joy at receiving the last reminder of her brother, Zenna couldn't help but continue to feel conflicted. Everything she and Hiccup learned and saw throughout the day had left her with the harsh truth that their people and others like them are responsible for the dragons being monsters in the first place. How is she going to break the truth to her parents should their cover eventually be blown? Would they still love her, would they understand where she was coming from after she teaches them what she now knows? Or, will the unthinkable happen, which she, Hiccup, and Sarah are trying their damned best to avoid?

Meanwhile, Hiccup had returned to the forge to think about everything he and Zenna had discovered when he heard someone entering and discovered that it was Stoick. "Oh! H-hey, Dad. Uh, G-Gobber's not here, unfortunately," he said, hiding the designs of Toothless' tail fin as best as he could.

"I know. I was looking for you, Hiccup. You and Zenna have been keeping secrets," he replied, entering despite the tight size of the door and glaring.

"Uh, we... W-we have?"

"Just how long did you children think you could hide such a thing from me?"

"I-I-I... Uh, well, I don't... We don't know what you're talking about. I mean, I don't know-!"

"Nothing on this island ever happened or left without me hearing about it in any way, shape, or form," Stoick retorted, marching towards his son and still glaring. "So, let's talk about that dragon..."

"Oh, gods... Dad, I, I'm so sorry. I was going to tell you but... I, I just didn't know how to, really," Hiccup sighed weakly.

However, instead of being subjected to his father's continued overprotective belittling of him, he was surprised to see him laughing. He eventually joined in out of his own nervousness, unsure of what to make of his change in attitude. Of course, he's now convinced that he's able to become a Viking but he didn't know about Sarah's teachings to him and Zenna about the dragons' true nature and humanity's cruel treatment of them.

"So... Y-y-You're not mad?" he stammered again.

"What, mad? Oh, HO-HO-HO-HO-HO! No, no, my boy! Far from it, I was hoping for this!" exclaimed Stoick joyfully.

"You, were?" Hiccup blinked.

"Oh, yes! And, believe me, it only got better the more I heard of it! I couldn't be more proud of you for standing on your own two feet against a dragon, Hiccup! And, Zenna can expect the same from her parents!" he continued as he punched his son proudly, nearly making him fall over.

"Just wait until you two spill the guts of a Nadder for the first time and mount your first Gronckles' heads on some spears! What a feeling, HA-HA! You really had me going there, Son! All those years, I thought of you as the worst Viking to ever exist! Odin, was it rough! To tell you the truth, I almost gave up on you and all while you've been holding out on me! Oh, Thor All-mighty!"

The Viking Chief then pulled up a chair and sat on it, filled with joy and relief. "With you and Zenna doing so well in the ring while we're gone, we and she and her parents finally have something in common to talk about."

An awkward silence followed between them until Stoick broke it, also bringing out something for Hiccup to have as his own. "Oh, I almost forgot. I brought you something to keep you safe in the ring after your final day of training tomorrow," he said, bringing out a Viking helmet and giving it to him.

"Uh, wow... Thanks," breathed Hiccup, stunned as he looked at the helmet and placed a hand on it.

"That helmet once belonged to your mother, she would've wanted you to have it, too. It's half for her breastplate, matching set. Keeps her close, you know. Wear it proudly, you deserve it. You've held your end of the deal."

"Yeah... Well, I should really be getting to bed," replied Hiccup after giving off a fake yawn.

"Right," agreed Stoick, preparing to head back.

"Uh, good talk—"

"Good chat—"

"See you in the ring tomorrow—"

"Right. Thanks for stopping by, and the, uh… The breast hat, really."

"The hat," smiled Stoick with a nod before heading out.

Now, left alone, Hiccup looked at his mother's helmet as he sighed; since he knew very little about his mother and didn't know what became of her, he was raised by his own father without her care to balance out his troubles. Zenna was the closest thing to a mother figure he had but given that she was his best friend and how they got into many antics together despite being of the same age, he saw her more like a sister figure.

However, the feeling of having something that once belonged to her was dwarfed by his worries about what'll happen on the last day of his and Zenna's training and the inevitable time when they'll have to kill a dragon to prove themselves as Vikings. Can they really go through with killing a dragon after everything they've learned? Was it all worth it prior to all this?

The final day of Dragon Training came as Sarah, Zenna, Hiccup, and Astrid were the last ones in the ring to prove themselves to the entire village gathered to see who will have the "honor" of killing a dragon at the end of it all. For the third time, they were up against the female Gronckle. Fishlegs, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Snotlout have already flunked out against her so that left them as the sole warriors squaring off against her. Now, it was up to either of them to kill a Monstrous Nightmare which was the last dragon they'll be facing. The four were hiding against a wall away from the Gronckle and as Astrid peeked from behind it, she looked straight at the trio.

"Stay out of my way, you three! This time, I'm gonna be the one to win this thing," she threatened, pulling down Hiccup's shield to look at him as she made her vow.

"Good. Please, by all means," replied Hiccup, the Viking girl leaving as he rose up and looked at the audience with Zenna.

Their attention was briefly held by Edgar, Henna, and Stoick, who were watching to see if either or both of them would succeed. It wouldn't matter if either wouldn't pass without the other; to them, just the chance for them to prove themselves as real Vikings should the chance to kill a dragon arise and Astrid flunks as well would be enough for them.

The Gronckle flew across the arena looking for her targets as Astrid moved from wall to wall, making her approach before she stopped and gripped her ax tightly. This was her chance, as she hoped, to prove herself that she's got the makings to be a real Viking. She had been upstaged by Hiccup and Zenna along with Sarah for several days throughout their Dragon Training together along with the other Viking teens. Now, she was sure that she would best them on her last chance to get a chance to kill the Monstrous Nightmare.

"This time, this time for sure!" she vowed again before she jumped out and charged towards the Gronckle her ax at hand. "YAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!"

Unfortunately, she stopped as she looked on in shock to see Hiccup and Zenna with the Gronckle just lying next to them, the two Viking underdogs shrugging as the audience cheered. Sarah was a little bit behind them as she looked on proudly at the two (her hopes for them to best the Monstrous Nightmare peacefully and without killing it cautiously high despite knowing what was ahead of them the following day). Astrid, on the other hand, was even more furious - for the umpteenth time, the two people who are the farthest from being Vikings had bested her and the other teens.

"NO! ARGH! Argh, son of a Half Troll, Rat-Eating, Sludge Bucket...!" she cursed, swinging her ax furiously.

"Well, I guess that's it for us," noted Zenna.

"Wait, wait!" called Stoick, he, Henna, and Edgar coming down from the audience to hear Gothi's choice.

"So, uh... Later," replied Hiccup as he and Zenna tried to get away.

"No, you don't," Gobber said, pulling them away with his hook hand and his left hand as Sarah joined them to give them a hand.

"Look, it's just-we're, uh... We're kinda late for-" Hiccup began, trying to think of an excuse.

"WHAT?!" screeched Astrid, still furious about her defeat as she pointed her ax at the two's throats. "Late for what, exactly?!"

"Don't try anything funny, Astrid!" Sarah threatened back, her hand on her Sun Sword and preparing to fight back.

"Alright, alright, settle down, everybody!" announced Stoick, trying to keep the peace between them as he brought Gothi over and the crowd stopped cheering. "Let's all take a deep breath, the Elder has decided who will continue after today."

Gobber brought the four together for Gothi to choose who will proceed towards defeating the Monstrous Nightmare next day. He gestured her towards Astrid but she shook her head and when he directed her to Sarah and Zenna, she gave them a neutral look. But, with Hiccup, she nodded, spurring cheers from the audience as the trio winced, hoping it wasn't meant to be.

Astrid gritted her teeth in fury as she looked at Hiccup; she wanted the chance to become a true Viking as she had been training her entire life for and with Hiccup having stolen that and shattered her dreams, she looked like she wanted to kill him on the spot.

"HA-HA! Yes, I knew you could do it, Hiccup! You finally get to kill the dragons!" hollered Gobber proudly to the stunned teen, the other Viking teens (now respecting Hiccup and Zenna after everything they and Sarah did) coming down and cheering for him as well with Fishlegs lifting him onto his shoulders.

"That's my boy!" Stoick yelled proudly.

"We're so proud of you! Win this one for Zenna and all of us, Hiccup!" added a proud Henna.

"Now, that Astrid's been knocked out of the competition, all of Berk here is counting on you!" agreed an ecstatic Edgar.

Sarah, Zenna, and Hiccup winced again, the three of them still not as enthusiastic as the others. This was something they hoped to avoid or at least talk to Gothi about when they had the chance. But, now, after everything they saw and went through the previous day, what they dreaded most was about to come into fruition; one of them is going to have to kill a dragon in front of the entire village tomorrow. And, Hiccup just happened to be the unluckiest of them all to be chosen by the village elder herself since their training was complete and Stoick and Zenna's parents returned home sooner than they thought.

"Yeah, I can't wait..." Hiccup trailed off, no longer feeling enthusiastic about what he and Zenna wanted to do most before. "So, I think we'll just be, uh..."

"This is great and all, guys," Zenna replied, seeing Hiccup in a huge predicament and covering for him with a nervous smile. "I think we better get ourselves ready for tomorrow. You know, be ready to kill a big guy, uh, right? We'll just be, uh, well..."

"...Leaving, we're leaving," finished Hiccup, all back in the cove as he wore his harness and a basket on his back.

"I don't know, Hiccup. Are you sure this is a good idea for you to run away with Toothless?" asked Sarah as she and Zenna looked on worriedly with the rest of their large party. "You know it doesn't do you any good and everybody will be suspicious of your disappearance, you won't be able to look your father in the eye again."

"Everybody will go nuts looking for you. I know this isn't want we wanted but what are we supposed to do?" added Zenna.

"I've made my mind up," replied Hiccup, sighing.

"Well, this is turning out to be a real problem, Hiccup. This is something we all hoped wouldn't happen and what's worse, if we told them about the Dragon's Eye we found and the Night Fury eggs if they get suspicious enough to search all of us, the chances that it'll be a disaster are at 99%," fretted Rotom, also feeling worried for him. "It also doesn't help that you'll have an approximately 85% chance of being captured before you leave and a 15% chance of escaping even if you do make it out alive."

"I've just got to take my chances for Toothless' sake. Even after everything we've done during Dragon Training, I'm not sure taking down a dragon is what I wanted anymore. Not after us meeting him, Stryka, and you guys along with Sarah's whole family, Rotom."

Hiccup then turned to Toothless, who was also ready to leave despite his own worries for his best friend and leaving his only mate with Zenna taking him over. "Come on, buddy. Looks like we're taking a long vacation, forever. Aw, man," he continued, making sure everything was set before they depart.

After rising to his feet and ensuring that everything is ready for him and Toothless to leave, they heard metal grinding on a surface and the trio soon caught sight of Astrid sitting on a rock in front of them as she sharpened her ax. This is yet another thing they feared as they yelped in shock, their cover had been blown and Astrid had been the one to find out.

"AH! W-wha, Astrid? What are you doing here?" asked Zenna.

"Oh, we're in trouble," buzzed Rotom-dex in defeat as he slumped.

"I want to know what's going on. It took a while for me to find out what you're all up to but I think I have a good idea why after thinking about it" she replied bluntly as she jumped off the rock and marched towards Hiccup and Zenna. "Nobody just gets as good as you guys do, especially you two, and I don't think this was an accident nor a mere coincidence. Start talking, has Sarah been training you behind everybody's backs? Has that flying thing been giving you tips?"

"Uh, training, with Sarah?" blinked the Viking underdogs, becoming more nervous as Astrid vented her suspicions and her frustrations out on them, something that Sarah was prepared to fight her on. "Wha-wh, what do you-?"

"It better not involve this!" she continued, yanking Hiccup's harness. "What have you been hiding from us all this time?"

"No, no, no, no! This looks really bad, honestly! But, you see, uh, well, I'd-it's just really-" Hiccup stammered again before they heard nearby rustling, allowing the still-angry and suspicious Astrid to shove him down and go to the source of the noise. "Uh, okay! You're right, you're right, okay! I'm through with the lies, it's just, I've been making...outfits. You got us, alright? It's time everyone knew."

"Well, I've been giving him a hand with his training. What's there to be worried about?" retorted Zenna to Astrid as she tried to stop her, holding her back as she held her shoulder. "Go ahead, just drag us back. Spill the beans, let them know how we really got to that point."

In response, Astrid twisted her arm and made her drop to the ground, getting a pained grunt out of her and startling Hiccup as he rushed in to defend her with Sarah joining in before things could get bloody.

"Astrid, stop this!"

"Why would you do that?!" they shouted, appalled by what she was doing to their best friend.

"That's for the lies," she stated bluntly again before she gave Hiccup a hard kick before she dropped the butt of her ax on his stomach. "And, that's for everything else!"

She then turned her attention to Sarah as she got her ax ready and the princess drew out her Sun Sword as they prepared to duke it out, the former wanting revenge on the three of them one-uping her over and over again and the latter being forced to do what she must to protect her friends. What they didn't know is that while they were fighting in their confrontation, Rotom-Dex had darted off to get help. And, that help came in the form of...

"STOP!" shouted a familiar voice along with a growl.

The angered Viking girl looked across the lake from their current spot but the moment she saw Tsukumaro (with his sword drawn and having spoken up), Toothless, Stryka, and Sarah's entire family, she gasped in shock.

"GET DOWN!" she shrieked, pushing the trio into the ground.

To Astrid, because she had no idea about their friendship and family love with the Night Furies and her family, she thought she was protecting them despite her jealousy and hatred for them. But, to everyone else, they thought she had assaulted them and they were prepared to fight back. This was proven when Toothless and Stryka roared and charged at her to protect their riders.

"Run, run!" called Astrid, getting up and holding her ax up to attack.

"Mom!" cried Blitz, diving with the two Night Furies over to her as the others followed.

But, before either side could attack and a battle can begin, Hiccup and Zenna tackled Astrid and threw her ax off to the side while Sarah managed to get between them all.

"Enough!" she screamed, causing her family, Toothless, and Stryka to stop in their tracks and gasp, nearly running over the princess.

"No, no, no, no! Guys, hey! It's okay, don't hurt her, she's a friend!" begged Hiccup as he approached, soothing the Night Furies closest to them as they came over and looked at Astrid warily.

"Now, look what you've done! You scared them and made them see you as a threat to us," scolded Zenna, rubbing Stryka to calm her down after approaching her.

"Excuse me, I SCARED THEM? Who is 'Them'?!" spluttered Astrid as she stumbled back, not knowing what's going on.

"Uh, Astrid... Everyone and Tsukumaro. Tsukumaro and everyone, Astrid," the male Viking underdog introduced as Sarah's dragons, Toothless, and Stryka to snarl and hiss at her.

Overcome with panic and dread as she shook her head, her supposed suspicions being confirmed, she tried to make a run for it back to Berk.

"Da-da-da, we're dead," Hiccup groaned sarcastically.

"Ya think?" groaned Zenna, deadpanning.

"Aww, who cares?"

"Don't know, don't care," scoffed their Night Furies, shrugging as they waddled away in a different direction.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, hey, guys, don't-!"

"Hey, you two aren't going anywhere! Where are you-?" the Viking underdogs called.

Realizing that they have to stop Astrid themselves, they, Sarah, and her family along with Rotom-Dex proceeded to chase after her. The Viking girl, still in a panic, runs through the forest as she jumped over fallen logs and trees, trying to get back to Berk and get as far away from the cove and forest as possible.

But, before they could reach her, everybody saw something else stop her as they heard (fluent only to Sarah and yips to everyone else), "Oh no, you don't!"

A strange new Pokemon had appeared and tackled her before Toothless and Stryka appeared before the former grabbed and lifted her up before she could hit the ground.

"AHH! Oh, Great Odin's ghost! Put me down! This is it, AHHHH!" she screamed before she was dropped off on a high branch at a tree.

When she was on the branch, the Pokemon, Toothless, and Stryka perched themselves on the tree and made it bend. With Calyrex, Natu, Espeon, Audino, and Cresselia's help, the underdogs and Sarah perched themselves on the tree next to them.

"HICCUP, ZENNA! SARAH! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!" she continued to scream.

"You have to give us a chance to explain everything," Hiccup reasoned.

"Astrid, there's a reason why we've been keeping them and Sarah's family in the dark," added Zenna. "Aside from our unexpected visitor, whom we don't know about, we've been busy with a few other things involving them. Please, just hear us out."

"I'm not listening to anything you three stooges have to say!"

"Then, we won't tell. Just let us show you what we mean. Everything will be clear soon," replied Sarah. "Astrid, just listen. Do you trust us?"

Astrid was stuck between a rock and a hard place; she wanted to get away from the cove and the forest after seeing the dragons in Sarah's care as well as Toothless, Stryka, and the unexpected Pokemon visitor everybody was surprised to see. But, with the new Pokemon and Hiccup and Zenna's best friends having cornered her, she was left with no choice but to comply with their and Sarah's request to tell her everything by showing what the underdogs are able to do now.

Meanwhile, everyone else down below was looking towards the visitor as they've never seen anything like it before.

The Pokemon was revealed to be red all over its body with patches all over being a darker shade of red dotted in certain spots. It had black scales running along its back and its back legs looked to be covered in a dark red covering akin to boots but in actual flesh complete with white toe talons. A pair of "wings" were beneath its front legs and its chest had beige-colored fur and its face had two long horns with a smaller red horn sticking out in between. The Pokemon's ears were long and they looked to be sharp and to top it all off, it had two canine teeth sticking out from its mouth.

It looked as every bit a dragon as it was a Pokemon but it was nothing like any other the world had ever seen.

"Wow, who are you?" blinked Dawn (Midday Lycanroc).

"What are you, really?" inquired Cinderace.

The new Pokemon looked down past Astrid as she tried to pull herself up and cheekily waved, "Who am I, what am I? I'm a Pokemon, don't you know?"

"Okay, that's nothing coming out of you, Sarah," blinked Hiccup, finally turning his attention to the strange Pokemon.

"Yeah, I've never seen anything like it before," added Zenna, just as surprised to see it. "It looks like a Pokemon but it's also a dragon."

"I'd be more interested to find out what kind of Pokemon that little guy is," replied Sarah, unsure of what to make of the visitor as well.

"Allow me, guys! This looks like a job for-huh?" began Rotom-Dex as he popped up and scanned the new Pokemon, only to find nothing on his databanks about it.

"What's wrong, Rotom?" Zenna quizzed, looking concerned as he suddenly buzzed in shock.

"No data, no data! This is impossible! It's literally the biggest unknown find I've ever gotten!" he spluttered, his shock overtaking him. "It looks to be a Dragon Type, but... THERE'S NO SUCH POKEMON IN MY DATABANKS RECORDED ANYWHERE!"

"No data?!" gawked Zenna again.

"How can there be a Pokemon that even Rotom doesn't know about?" gasped Hiccup, floored by what he had heard.

"No data?" breathed Sarah before she looked at the Pokemon and it turned its attention to her. "Are you a new Pokemon we've never seen before?"

"That's right, 'sup, Pretty Girl? My name's Wvyeon, I'm known as the Sharp Scale Pokemon where I come from," replied the Pokemon, Wvyeon (voice reference: Luther - Freddi Fish).

"Wvyeon? Wait, your name has 'Eon'. Are you an Eeveelution like the ones I have with me?"

"Princess, if I may inquire, it appears the Pokemon you're speaking to is the same size as Umbreon's daughters!" Tsukumaro pointed out from below, looking between Umbreon's daughters and Wvyeon.

Sarah also looked between them and she could see he was right; Wvyeon was about their height if he appears next to them.

"Hey, he's right!" Nitro exclaimed, also looking between them.

"Now, there's something you only find in Pokemon fan service," quipped Sonic as everyone else looked on in surprise, shock, and disbelief.

"Fan service, what are you talking about?" asked Blossom, a little taken aback by what she heard as Sonic giggled.

"Oh, nothing! He-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he!"

"UNBELIEVABLE! A new type of Eeveelution?! How is that possible?!" screeched Rotom-Dex in disbelief as he flailed around Wvyeon, taking photos of him. "Your name has 'Eon' at the end of it, you were once an Eevee, and you can evolve into a Dragon Type?!"

"Yeah, but this is normal for me in these parts. I evolved from an Eevee straight after coming into contact with a Dragon Scale," Wvyeon stated.

"Dragon Scale/Dragon Scale/Dragon Scale?" the group barring Toothless, Stryka, and the Viking teens echoed.

"Right! A Dragon Scale from a Monstrous Nightmare, to be precise. But, I guess any other kind of scale can trigger my evolution. Give me something like a Night Fury Scale, a Terrible Terror Scale, a Rumblehorn Scale, a Buffalord Scale, you name it, I'll evolve to this from my old Eevee stage."

"What an outstanding find! Evolving from a Dragon Scale of any dragon, specifically a Monstrous Nightmare, it really is a Dragon Type!" Rotom-Dex noted, finally smiling in delight. "This really is the find of a century, we're literally the first ones to ever discover a brand new kind of Pokemon!"

Before Sarah and her family could revel in their newfound discovery further, she, Hiccup, and Zenna knew that it was time to show Astrid what they were on about in their relationship with the dragons and what they've been doing with them. With Calyrex, Natu, Audino, Cresselia, and Espeon using Psychic to lift Zenna and Hiccup over to the tree their dragons, fellow Viking, and Wvyeon were on and Sarah over to Winter as the Light Fury got her on her saddle, the Viking underdogs got on their dragons and encouraged Astrid to climb aboard Toothless with Hiccup.

Toothless growled at her as she tried to go for his saddle while Hiccup held a hand for her. However, she brushed him aside and got on herself, sitting behind him at the back as Zenna took her place on Stryka.

"Now, get me down," Astrid demanded.

Hiccup nodded before he patted Toothless before he said, "Toothless, down. Gently, though."

Toothless spreads out his wings as Hiccup hoped things wouldn't be too crazy and Stryka did the same as she prepared to go down with Zenna as well. But, what either of them didn't know was that their Night Furies both have cheeky looks on their faces. They wanted to have some fun with Astrid before they would really bring her back down on terra firma and they proved that to a tee when they shot up into the sky and gave her a fright as she screamed her lungs out.

"Oh, boy," groaned Winter, seeing how mischievous Toothless and Stryka are becoming.

"There they go again," Melody remarked.

"Why do they always want to do something like that?" sighed Whiplash as he did a facepalm with one of his wings.

"Yeah, those two have always been free spirits whenever they're not retaliating against any humans trying to kill them off," replied Wvyeon. "Even if they didn't trust any humans before those underdogs came into play, they're quite young dragons themselves despite their looks and ages."

"We can see that," Zorua quipped.

"Toothless, Stryka! What's wrong with you guys?" cried Hiccup as he and his mate raced each other while the three Viking teens held on tightly for dear life. "Bad dragons, bad! Heh-heh, they're usually not like this!"

They soon heard what he said as the two Night Furies folded their wings. "Hiccup, shut up," deadpanned Zenna again before they plummeted down to the sea, making Astrid scream again.

The Night Furies, wanting to continue their fun, then proceeded to dunk themselves into the water and splashed the three teens while doing so.

"Guys, stop it! We need Astrid to trust us!" cried Zenna.

Apparently, either Toothless and Stryka heard her and they decided to ignore her to continue their "fun" with Astrid or ignored her as they continued to show her how the dragons are truly not to be underestimated if pushed too far. They made it very clear by suddenly spinning in the air and performing multiple barrel rolls, continuing to make Astrid scream as she, Zenna, and Hiccup held on for dear life.

"And, now, the spinning," sighed Hiccup blankly, already annoyed with their ongoing mischief. "Thanks for nothing, you useless reptiles."

Finally, spinning wildly, Toothless and his mate let themselves drop from the air. This was all too much for Astrid to take as she could no longer contain herself as she continued to scream, holding onto Hiccup as best she could and sounding like she was going to cry.

"OKAY, OKAY, I'M SORRY! JUST LET ME OFF THIS THING!" she bellowed, still in a panic.

"I'm gonna be sick, I'm gonna be sick," thought Zenna, groaning as she held on to Stryka and feeling like she's gonna throw up from the g-force she was feeling.

Astrid's previous words was all the two Night Furies needed to hear and opening their wings, they leveled themselves out and made their rides much smoother as their so-called "fun" ended. Opening her eyes, Astrid stared in amazement as they all flew into the clouds. Wanting to feel what its like to touch a cloud, she reached out and felt a touch of moisture tickling her hand as a cloud ran through her arm. She then raised her other hand up and slowly but surely, she was starting to enjoy the moment as she felt free.

Toothless then looped around as Stryka followed and they dived through the clouds, eventually coming along to the nighttime sky. At that moment, Sarah (with Rotom-Dex beside her as she rode on Winter), her other dragons, and Wvyeon managed to find them after they disappeared and joined them, Stryka and her mate nodding to everybody that Astrid can now be trusted, making them nod back in understanding.

"**You two never change or listen,**" sighed Wvyeon in amusement as Hiccup and Zenna's Night Furies giggled at him in response.

They all continued flying through the starry night as they saw Berk on the horizon, the village being lit up by room lights and torches from the guard posts as they made the entire island shine like the stars above them. Hiccup took a glance behind him as Astrid smiled and stared at the aurora shining in the sky, a small smile appearing on her face. As she looked down at her and Hiccup's Viking island home, she hugged Hiccup's waist and placed her head on his shoulder, making him smile at her. At last, she realized, for the first time in forever during the years since she knew them, she was wrong about Hiccup and Zenna.

She was glad that she was now wrong about Hiccup; no longer was he the scrawny, little weakling of a Viking she always thought of him as but instead, a Viking with a strong heart from his connection to Toothless and everything he now knows about them. Astrid thought he was the bravest Viking to have ever lived because he was able to do something nobody else from their people could've ever done before: he befriended and tamed a dragon, a Night Fury.

She could extend the same to Zenna since she no longer saw her as the irritating whelp of a sister and a Viking who always defended her best friend out of what she considered as pity but an equal that can rise above and beyond the call of duty and be a friend to everyone including a dragon.

"Alright, I gotta admit, this is pretty cool... It's amazing, they're amazing," thought Astrid, still smiling as she did a 180 on the underdgos and smiled at their Night Furies.

She looked at Sarah and now has a newfound respect for the little princess. She also once thought of her as irritating, insolent, arrogant, and selfish with how she acted with everybody else and a mad woman but with this experience and what she learned, she now saw her as one of the greatest people she ever met.

But then, she frowned as she remembered that Hiccup was chosen for his final exam involving the eventual death of a Monstrous Nightmare and she became worried for him. Now that she had come to respect the dragons and how he, Zenna, and Sarah felt after taming and becoming their friends and family, she also began to have doubts that they were really heartless monsters that needed to be killed.

"So, what now, Hiccup? Your final exam is tomorrow and everybody will be watching," she reminded, concerned. "You know you're going to have to..."

"...Kill a dragon?" she finished whispering after trailing off.

Hiccup sighed, "Don't remind me."

Even Sarah and Zenna couldn't help but frown worriedly as they knew he and none of them could ever bring themselves to kill a dragon just to make Stoick and her parents proud. They had very little time to think of a way to convincingly "kill" the Monstrous Nightmare without actually killing it and they weren't sure they could pull something like that off.

But, they didn't have more time to think about it further as Toothless and Stryka's eye pupils turned into slits, the two of them diving into the clouds with Sarah, her dragons (also having the same feeling Toothless and his mate had as their pupils also turned into slits), Rotom-Dex, and Wvyeon quickly going after them.

"Hey, what's happening?" quizzed Sarah.

"Stryka, what's up, girl?" questioned Zenna to her Night Fury.

"Toothless, what's happening? What is it?" inquired Hiccup as they all flew deeper into the clouds to where the dragons felt the disturbance.

"Well, whatever it is, I'm sure the dragons aren't going to like it," replied Wvyeon, his eyes narrowing as Sarah, Rotom-Dex, and her dragons heard his tone change. "Neither will I since I can feel it in my scales."

They continued to fly through the cloud bed before they saw a Monstrous Nightmare lurching out from the fog on their right with a huge fish in its claws and growling as it quickly passed.

"Everybody, down!" Hiccup hissed, the four humans quickly pressing themselves down low against their dragons.

Wvyeon and his fellow dragons decided to fly low to avoid been seen by the wild Monstrous Nightmare and an incoming flock of dragons while Rotom-Dex flew over to Sarah and huddled close to her to keep himself from being easily picked out as well. But, as they passed above them, Sarah and the others soon began to take notice of several hundreds of dragons flying in the same direction as the flock and the Monstrous Nightmare.

However, there was something different about them as they watched them fly by. All of the dragons looked like they've been hypnotized from the dulled state of their slit-pupil eyes and they looked like they're carrying different kinds of food like the Monstrous Nightmare while growling.

"What's going on?" quizzed Astrid, concerned.

"I don't know but we have to get moving. Toothless, come on, let's get out of here," urged Hiccup to his dragon.

"He's right, Stryka. We have to get out of here before those dragons spot us," agreed Zenna, rubbing Stryka gently to convince her to turn back. But, the Night Fury couple didn't budge an inch as they continued to fly to wherever the other dragons were heading off to and growl while doing so. But, with Sarah, while her dragons were following them with Winter close by with her own mate flying alongside her, she listened carefully to the growls of the wild dragons going past them with their food.

To her, the dragons sounded like they were saying, in a monotone trance, "Bring food to the queen, all hail the queen..."

"...Queen, what queen?" she pondered thoughtfully. "Who or what kind of dragon could their queen be?"

She then turned to Rotom as he also noticed how strange the dragons were being. "Rotom, it sounds as though they're hypnotized. Almost like if something or someone had just used a form of Hypnosis on them, some kind of mind control," she theorized to the living Pokedex.

"Mind control? But, who or what could possibly use mind control on a dragon if they have strong wills of their own?" Rotom-Dex inquired, also concerned.

"I don't know..."

"Whatever they're doing, they must be doing this outside of their own control," replied Zenna, having heard their conversation.

"But, all that food looks like their own kills from several hunts they've done. What are they doing with them?"

"It looks like they're hauling in their kills for some reason," theorized Hiccup.

"Uh, then... What does that make us?" asked Astrid, growing more nervous.

"We better find out what or who's responsible for this. We should keep following them but we need to fly as low as possible and away from their trajectory so they won't become suspicious of us and question why we're tailgating them," suggested Rotom-Dex, deciding to find answers.

"You better let me lead you, then," Wvyeon suggested seriously as he came to Sarah and Rotom-Dex. "If they're heading to where I think they are going, we may have a big problem on our hands and it could explain why these wars my fellow dragons and I are entangled in with those humans have been going on for all these years."

"Wars?" asked the princess, catching the Viking teens' attention before they all blinked in shock.

"...The Dragon Wars," gasped Astrid, Rotom-Dex, Hiccup, Sarah, and Zenna in realization.

Wvyeon nodded to them, "Right, now stay close and don't lose sight of me or those dragons over us."

The four humans and Rotom-Dex nodded to Wvyeon as the Dragon Scale Pokemon went to the front of their pack and they continued to follow the dragons at a low altitude to try and keep pace with them and their new friend. They saw the wild dragons beginning to dive down to the water and past several sea stacks as they navigated through the fog bank. Eventually, they arrived at a tall dark mountain rising up from a barren island as rivers of lava oozed from its slopes and smoke billowed from its top.

Zenna, Sarah, Rotom-Dex, Astrid, and Hiccup looked on in shock, awe, amazement, and stunned silence as they saw dragons of all kinds coming to the very place that Stoick and the other Vikings back at Berk were all searching for. It was the Dragon's Nest and they were the first ones to ever find it.

"No... Is that really-?" gasped Zenna.

"It can't be..." added a shocked Astrid.

"Of course, it is...!" exclaimed Rotom-Dex quietly, trying to control himself and keep quiet. "If this is where all of those dragons were heading, we finally found the Dragon's Nest!"

"Oh man, what my dad wouldn't give to find this..." breathed Hiccup, still stunned.

"Yep, that's it. Welcome to the Dragon's Nest, not that I would call it something of a home for them, anyway," nodded Wvyeon grimly. The dragons from above them soon sped up and they quickly dived into a huge rock tunnel carved into the side of the volcano, continuing to carry their kills to whoever or whatever might need them more than they do.

Upon arriving, they dropped their prey in as they entered the hole. Before reaching the hole as the wild dragons had, Toothless and the other dragons in Hiccup and Sarah's parties swooped in close to the mist before they shot upwards and turned up towards the top of the cave. They landed on a hidden rocky ledge, allowing the group to retreat to the shadows, watching as the wild dragons continued to drop their food into the red mist.

"Well, it's satisfying to know that our food's all been dumped down a large hole," muttered the male Viking underdog.

"But, am I the only one that's getting a weird feeling as to why they're just dumping it in there?" puzzled Zenna.

"They're not eating it, but why?" Astrid noticed, also finding it odd before they saw a Gronckle spitting only a small fish into the hole.

"NOT GOOD ENOUGH, YOU FOOL!" Suddenly, to the group's horror, a huge roar bellowed before a giant dragon's head popped out and then ate the Gronckle whole.

"The hell in the Thor All-Mighty is that?!" gasped Astrid, the giant dragon roaring as all the other dragons quivered in fear while the younger dragons including Shadow and Winter's Night Lights hid behind their parents, terrified.

"That's a Red Death, the most powerful Alpha Dragon in the Stoker Class ever to roam this world," explained Wvyeon, trying to control his own fears. "That Red Death is what we call the Dragon Queen, she has the ability to use Mind Control on other dragons to do her bidding beyond their control. She must've ordered the raids on Berk to happen because she wants to feed and prove herself as the dominant dragon in the entire world."

"So, that's why the Berk Dragon Wars have been going nonstop for the past three centuries!" gawked Sarah, horrified.

"Then, I think it's time we make our quick Heroes' Getaway," requested Hiccup, starting to whisper to their horrified dragon friends. "Toothless, come on, let's go!"

"Stryka, he's right! It's not safe for us to be here!" added Zenna in agreement.

"Winter, let's go, the Red Death will be on us any minute! Guys, come on!" hissed Sarah frantically with Rotom-Dex nudging and tapping the dragons while also in a panic, all of them being motionless with no response. Unfortunately, their attempt at making a quick escape caught the attention of the Red Death Queen as she turned her head towards them, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.

"Who's there...?" she growled.

"Too late, she spotted us!" shrieked Wvyeon, even more frightened. "NOW!" Hiccup yelled, finally getting their dragons to snap out of their trances as they saw the Red Death coming after them, making them roar in a frightened state.

"RUN FOR OUR LIVES, GUYS! GO, GO, GO!" screamed Sarah, now wanting to leave immediately. And, this time, the dragons heard her as they flew away at the last second just before the Red Death lunged at them and tried to chomp down at them, the dragons all beginning to scramble for the way out.

"COME BACK HERE, INTRUDERS!" bellowed the Red Death furiously as the four humans, Rotom-Dex, Wvyeon, and the dragons left in a panicked haste.

"Head for the tunnel entrance!" called Wvyeon, leading the way once again as he and everybody else flew out the way they came.

The Red Death tried to catch up to them before they could escape but instead, she caught a Hideous Zippleback and ate it in their place. Now realizing the true threat to both the Vikings and the dragons as well as the reason behind the Berk Dragon Wars that went on for Berk's previous 300 years, they emerged from the tunnel and flew back to berk, knowing that they have to inform Tsukumaro and the rest of Sarah's family about the Red Death before she continues her savage cycle of hunger before the dragons and the Vikings both end up being killed.

Moments later, they finally arrived back at Berk and the cove with Tsukumaro and Sarah's Pokemon all noticing them returning but in a terror-filled panic as they all landed and panicked, the younger dragons looking like they're ready to cry as their parents took them close and nuzzled them despite feeling frightened themselves.

"Princess!" gasped the old advisor, running to Sarah with some of her Pokemon and his team as she plopped onto the ground and held her head in terror. "Are you all alright?!"

"Tsukumaro, guys! We found out what it was that was responsible for the Dragon Wars!" she cried, grabbing Tsukumaro and becoming flustered. "It was a Red Death, a Red Death started them 300 years ago!"

"What/What/What?!" Sarah's Pokemon gasped in shock and horror.

"That Red Death was a monster, a monster of the absolute worst kind! An Alpha Dragon with Mind Control powers," agreed Rotom-Dex, unable to shake the Red Death Queen's terrifying might from his circuits as he flailed in a panic. "She's initiating the raids on Berk to feed herself and threatened to eat the dragons she has under her horrible power if they don't bring her any food!"

"WHAT?!"

"A Red Death!"

"Using Mind Control?!"

"Scary!"

"Oh my Arceus!"

"Commanding dragons using Mind Control so they'd feed her with what she wants...?"

"And, eating them if they didn't bring her anything...?"

"What a monster!"

"She gives a whole new definition to 'demon'!"

"By my Thunder, are you serious?!" screamed Simba, Sonic, Star, Mai, Tundra, Kaji, Latias, Hashimoto, Ching Wan, and Raikou in horror.

"A Red Death, I never thought we'd ever get to see one... I was hoping we wouldn't have to even get close to one given how dangerous they are to everyone that unfortunately crossed paths with it," breathed Tsukumaro, horror flooding through him. "To think that all of this started and the Vikings became terrified of the dragons because they had no idea that a Red Death could be responsible for all of this..."

"...And, you morons thought I was out for blood after returning from my 3000-year-long slumber," remarked Eternatus.

"Oh, I'd never thought a monster such as that would cause so much harm to those Vikings and the poor darlings!" put in a heartbroken Persian.

"And, given what we now know about that vicious reptile, I'd calculate that between us all, we'd have a 75% chance of failure should our cover be blown and the secret is out dwarfing our 25% chance of doing something about it and making it out alive with or without alerting the Vikings about it," Nitro calculated.

"In short, if the Red Death really is that terrifying and if it were to appear should Stoick and the rest of Hiccup and Astrid's people should find out and use a means to locate the Dragon's Nest, we'll all have to protect them and you all by whatever means necessary," noted Zarude grimly as he and Kurma held and nuzzled Sarah gently.

"So everything that happened wasn't the dragons' fault. That Red Death you guys mentioned was to blame," put in Keldeo.

"At least we now know what we're really up against," Nala said.

"Yeah, now it all makes sense, the Dragon's Nest is like a giant beehive," nodded Astrid as if she heard Nala's thoughts despite not understanding her. "The dragons under her control bringing in the food they pillaged from us are the workers and she's their queen. She has complete control over them and she has the final say in what they have to do. They're not acting out of their own free will."

"That does seem to be the case but what I'm curious to know is why our dragons were able to break free from or block her Mind Control earlier when we tried to get them out of their trance," pondered Zenna.

"Did you guys happen to have Mind Control of your own? If so, you guys are really good at it despite not being dragons," theorized Wvyeon as he looked to Sarah again.

"No, Wvyeon. If anything, My, Hiccup, and Zenna's bonds with our dragons seemed to have made them almost immune to her power," Sarah retorted. "If that's the case, even if she could use her full power, she wouldn't have been able to break our friendship with and our love for them."

"The Mind Control of Alpha Dragons does have its limitations since it only applies to mature dragons and Dragon Companionship being a key player to how you were able to get away in time," noted Tsukumaro, nodding.

"And, based on our current situation, the only solution we have to end her reign is to destroy her," interjected Cobalion grimly yet knowingly. "Once she's killed, only then will the Vikings and the dragons finally live in peace and learn to put aside their differences."

"Whatever the case, now that we know about the Dragon's Nest, we should probably think this through," suggested Hiccup.

"Actually, I have a better idea," replied Astrid as she looked to him before running. "Come on, let's find your dad and your parents!"

"Astrid, no!" cried Hiccup as he stopped her. "Not yet. Listen, they'll kill our dragons and they've all suffered just as much as we have. We can't allow for this to get out of hand."

"Hiccup, Zenna! Don't you get it, we've just discovered the Dragon's Nest moments ago! The very thing we've been after ever since the Hairy Hooligans first sailed here seven generations ago!" Astrid stated in disbelief as she looked over her friends when Zenna joined them. "And now, when we're this close to ending our biggest threat, you... You want to keep it a secret, just for your dragons?! To protect your friend and your pet dragons, are you serious...?"

"He's right, Astrid. Our parents and the rest of our people aren't as open and understanding about the dragons as we are and there are still some old grudges they have that can't be ignored. Please, think about this for a moment," replied Zenna, grabbing her by her arms and looking at her with pained and pleading eyes. "If we tell them about the Dragon's Nest, we'll have to come clean about everything including telling the truth about Sarah and her family. Gods know what they'll do to them if they find out about our secret!"

"Guys, are you serious about protecting your dragons this way...?" asked Astrid again, still in disbelief and shock over the lengths her new best friends are going to in order to protect their dragons, Sarah, and her entire family.

Hiccup had his back towards the girls as Zenna explained what they'd have to do if things really do eventually get out of hand but then, he turned to his crush as he only uttered in a serious tone and with a nod and narrowed eyes, "...Yes."

Astrid was in awe as her own face softened by their determination, seeing Zenna giving a serious nod to her as well. The Viking girl was now convinced that they were the best and the bravest Vikings that ever lived during their time; she now realized that Toothless and Stryka were more than just pets to them, they were their best friends. What's more, through Sarah, Tsukumaro, their Pokemon, and her dragons, they've basically become the family the two Viking underdogs both wished they had while growing up.

"Okay, okay," she relented quietly, now understanding their notions. "So, now what?"

"Just give me until tomorrow, we'll think of something," reassured Hiccup.

"Okay," nodded Astrid as she prepared to head for home but not without throwing two punches at Hiccup and Astrid on their shoulders, getting a pained "OW/OWCH!" from both of them. "That was for kidnapping me."

Then, she pulled them aside for a kiss on the cheek, getting blushes from the two. "That's for everything else, thanks," Astrid smiled warmly.

She then looked at Sarah and threw her a warm smile, finally accepting Sarah for who she really is and everything she did. The princess returned her smile and nodded, the two girls also exchanging silent apologies for how they've been acting towards each other throughout her and her family's time on Berk and during Dragon Training before it came down to Hiccup prior in their final exercise before she returned for home.

Now alone once again, a worried Toothless and Stryka nuzzled their friends, wondering if things will somehow get better and if they'll be able to get out of their latest predicament involving the Red Death Queen.

"Don't worry, bud. We're not going to let anything happen to you and Stryka... We promise," Hiccup told them as they hugged and rubbed them.

"You two mean more to us than anything in this whole world now," added Zenna, feeling the same way.

"It'll be alright, guys. We'll look after them, you two better head back home with Astrid so your village doesn't worry about you," reassured Sarah, getting nods from Hiccup and Zenna before they also left to return home.

"Boy, we dug ourselves in deep this time and without using Dig," remarked Zorua, worried.

"I'll say. This whole revelation changes everything and once the secret's out, those Vikings will do anything to kill off those dragons let alone drive them off if that's their intended goal," added Kommo-o.

"What are we gonna do now?" Curly pondered, greatly concerned.

"That's true but that's when things will be up to the dragons resisting her Mind Control once she asserts the old alpha female trope," quipped Sarah in response to him. "If we have anything to ensure she doesn't bend your will at a moment's notice or a window of opportunity she plans to see and make use of, succumbing to her won't be much of a chore for them to deal with."

"Perhaps I can cast a spell to their armor so that they will be resistant to the Red Death's Mind Control," requested Tsukumaro.

Sarah nodded, liking the idea, "That's a start. For now, though, I think we better turn in, you all stay here. I'll go back to Berk for Hiccup's...exam. Take care of Toothless and Stryka and if everything does go south, you know what to do."

Everyone else nodded, knowing what has to be done if all else fails; Hiccup's final exam will be upon everybody soon and they, the three Viking teens, the dragons, Toothless, and Stryka will soon have a plan ready to deal with the Red Death themselves. Now that they know what's truly at stake here given the reveal of their true target, Sarah and her family will be in for the fight of their lives as they bed down for the night with Sarah returning to Berk to spend the night with Hiccup and give him support the following day and Toothless and Stryka being in her family's protective care.

However, little did anybody know was that the white stone in Sarah's personal satchel was glowing again. It blinked on and off rapidly before it gave off a prolonged glow as if it had heard their vows to end the Dragon Wars with their soon-to-be-forged plan to kill the Red Death and ensure peace for both the Vikings and the dragons. The mystery involving the stone will soon be revealed but when that will be, not even the dragons know, for sure.

(Kill Ring - HTTYD Score)

Next day came and it was time for Hiccup's final exam for Dragon Training, the entire village of Berk having piled over to the arena to see him make his Viking debut as they chanted his name proudly.

Before the crowd, Stoick appeared and addressed them with a father's pride, "Well, at least I can show my face in public again! Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone told me that within a few short weeks Hiccup would go from, well...Being Hiccup, to placing first in Dragon Training, then I would've tied them to a mast and shipped them off for fear they've gone mad and you all know it, too! But, here we are and no one is more surprised or proud than I am. Today, my boy will now become a Viking. Today, he becomes one of us!"

The crowd cheered again as Hiccup stood at the entrance and listened to everything his father was saying, making him feel guilty about ever wanting to kill dragons in the first place.

"You be careful with that dragon, will ya?" wanred Astrid, walking behind him with Zenna and Sarah as they offered their support.

"It's not the dragon I'm worried about," Hiccup rebutted, looking at his father.

"But, what are you going to do?"

"Put an end to this, I have to try no matter what," replied Hiccup before he faced the girls. "Astrid, Zenna, if anything goes wrong... Just make sure they don't find out about Toothless and Stryka. Sarah, you know that goes for your family, too."

"Of course," nodded Astrid.

"We won't let you down, old friend," agreed Zenna, hugging him.

"Right, I got your back if you need it," replied Sarah reassuringly, making him nod in appreciation.

"Just promise us that it won't go wrong in a big way," the older Viking girl added, concerned.

Hiccup gave a soft smile as he joked, "Wish I could but you and Zenna know that just as much as I do. For us Vikings, it's an occupational hazzard."

"Good luck, man. You'll need it," finished Zenna just as Gobber appeared to help him begin.

"It's time, Hiccup. Good luck, knock 'em dead," he encouraged proudly.

With that, Hiccup nodded as he walked into the arena as the crowd cheered, immediately putting on his mother's helmet as the entrance gate closed and separated him from the girls.

Now on his own and with Toothless and Stryka safely with Sarah and her family, Hiccup went over to the weapons rack nearby and grabbed a shield and a dagger while the girls watched from the other side of the gate. "I would've personally gone with the hammer," commented Stoick, confused by his son's weapons of choice.

Steeling himself for the Monstrous Nightmare waiting to be released from its cage, Hiccup faced the gate holding the dragons inside and held his shield and dagger tightly.

"I'm ready," he announced, signaling a nearby Viking to pull on a rope and opened the cage.

The Monstrous Nightmare soon instantly bursts out of its cage and setting fire to itself along with the doors to the gate, jumping onto the walls of the arena and running around as it breathed fire through a section of the bars. Before long, it soon set its sights on Hiccup and glared at him but the young Viking stood his ground as he faced it with a determined glare.

"Go on, Hiccup! Give it to 'im!"

"Let 'im have it, boy!"

"Come on, Viking star!"

"Come on, let's go, Hiccup! Show no mercy!" cheered some of the Vikings from the audience.

"Hey, hey, come on, big fella. It's okay, don't worry," reassured Hiccup as gently as he could, the Monstrous Nightmare still growling as Hiccup moved his hands to his helmet and he removed it before throwing it away. "I'm not one of them."

This garnered several shocked gasps from everybody as they saw Hiccup trying to resolve things peacefully with the Monstrous Nightmare without resorting to bloodshed as they hoped. Of course, nobody was supposed to know about the Dragon's Nest and the Red Death so they had no idea why Hiccup would be willing to resort to calming the vicious dragon down peacefully.

"Hiccup! What are you doing?!"

"That's a Monstrous Nightmare you're dealing with!"

"Are you crazy?!"

"Have you gone mad?"

"Put your helmet back on and kill it!"

"You're gonna be dragon food if you don't do something!" the Vikings shouted frantically.

"Men, stop the fight!" ordered Stoick as he ran towards Hiccup in a panicked state, now wanting to know what he's up to.

"No, I need you all to see this! You just don't know the truth about these creatures, they only fight because of us! Someone's forcing them to do all those horrible things they did for 300 years!" Hiccup implored, latching his shield to his back and throwing away his dagger as the Monstrous Nightmare watched him, continuing to growl as he came over and reached his hand forward. "They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them..."

"I said, STOP THE FIGHT!" Stoick raged, banging his hammer on the bars, sending the Nightmare off as its eyes became slits and it tried to bite his hand off.

Hiccup was forced back before the enraged dragon breathed its fire and made him scream, his cries reaching Toothless and Stryka's ears and those of the others in the cove as they looked in the direction they were coming from.

"Toothless?" asked Tsukumaro as the worried Night Fury roared in distress before he knocked Tsukumaro onto his saddle, making him realize what was going on. "Hiccup's in trouble? Come on, we've got to help him and the girls!"

Quickly, he opened up the prosthetic fin and they took off with Stryka and Sarah's dragons following after them. "Hey, wait for us!" shouted Hydro as they left the cove for the area while the Pokemon watched on worriedly.

"Hiccup's screams, I hear them, too! And, some loud banging," squeaked Mai, jumping. "I think he's sounding terrified and somebody's set off another dragon!"

"Something's wrong, I can feel it in my bones," stated Cobalion, having an eerie feeling throttling in his spine.

"Do you think somebody landed Hiccup and the girls in trouble during his final exam?" questioned Totem Marowak, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"Most likely," confirmed Virizion, glaring in the direction of the arena. "Someone's set off a dragon on him and I have a good idea on who it was."

"You don't think-!" gasped Sawsbuck, realizing that it might've been Stoick or one of the other Vikings that committed such a crime.

"Who cares, Mr. Hiccup's in trouble and we got to help him!" cried Wooloo, looking ready to fight.

"If anybody dared to hurt him or sic another dragon on him, they'll have to answer to us!" agreed Amaura.

"Whoever did that is going to be very, very sorry!" put in Cufant defiantly, sharing Amaura and Wooloo's mindset.

"We've gotta do something!" encouraged Poipole.

"Guys, hop on!" Nebby cried to his mother's smaller Pokemon as they got on and Nebby ran in the air and flew them to the arena after the dragons. "Hang on!"

"Nebby, wait!"

"Hey!" screamed Zarude and Hashimoto, being too late to stop them and realizing that they have to do something as well.

"All those in favor of rescuing Hiccup, Zenna, and the princess?" asked Draco, knowing what everybody's thinking.

"Aye!/Aye/Aye!" everybody shouted together.

"Let's go!" shouted Danny as he, Danielle, and Cresselia used Psychic to lift the non-flying Pokemon out of the cove and they, Sarah's Flying Types, and other Pokemon that can fly followed soon after.

"Oh, I only hope we're not too late!" fretted Persian, unwilling to forgive herself if anything bad happened to her trainer and her husband's daughter.

Back at the dragon arena, it was total chaos as Hiccup managed to do his best to dodge the Monstrous Nightmare coming towards him. He surely wished he had thought of a plan earlier and because of his dad, he wasn't sure if he can prove his, Zenna, and Sarah's points about the dragons not being dangerous creatures but fighting on account of the Red Death's Mind Control and with humans threatening them first.

"Out of my way!" shouted Stoick, running to the entrance while the girls watched on in horror.

"Hiccup!" Astrid and Zenna cried.

"Hang on!" shouted Sarah, summoning her Moon Shield (in Crossbow Mode) and blasted the gate open.

With the gate in front of them busted open thanks to one of Sarah's Explosive Arrows, the three girls quickly rushed inside to help Hiccup. The Viking underdog ran to grab another shield from the rack after the Monstrous Nightmare destroyed the one he had on him but the dragon rushed him as it destroyed the rack and sent the weapons and shields scattering all over the place. All the while, Stoick, joined by Edgar and Henna, reached the entrance and pulled the front gate open before they ran to the next one.

"Stop!" shouted Zenna to the Monstrous Nightmare as she threw one of three shields close to her like a frisby before taking the other two and rushed to her best friend as fast as she could.

"Hiccup!" screamed Astrid again, taking a hammer and throwing it at the dragon as Sarah rushed after Zenna before she rushed back to the open gate.

The hammer and the first shield did manage to hit the Monstrous Nightmare in the face but it didn't stop the Stoker Class Dragon from charging towards Hiccup, especially as Zenna and Sarah finally managed to reach him and the former handed him a new shield.

"I don't want to have to do this but thanks to Stoick, you leave me no choice!" exclaimed Sarah defiantly, charging back at the Nightmare and proceeding to clamp its mouth shut, making it try to throw her off of it.

"Sarah!" the Viking underdogs cried in alarm, their shields still up.

"This way!" Stoick ordered after he finally busted open the gate he was behind of, allowing them and Astrid to run to it safely.

While Astrid was able to join him, Edgar, and Henna in one piece, the Monstrous Nightmare managed to end the tussle between it and Sarah, finally throwing her off as she grew tired and knocking her, Zenna, and Hiccup down like bowling pins. The three friends groaned as they tried to get their bearings and make their escape but the Monstrous Nightmare soon pinned them down and growled at them, ready to deliver the final blow as everyone watched in horror before...

"MAMA!" screamed a familiar voice followed by a series of screeching roars, making Sarah widen her eyes as she looked above them.

Everyone turned and to their complete shock and bewilderment, they saw Toothless, Stryka, Winter, Tsukumaro, and the rest of Sarah's family flying over the arena as they watched the Monstrous Nightmare preparing to kill the trio. Seeing Hiccup, Zenna, and Sarah in danger as they feared, the Night Fury couple, Shadow, Winter, and Nebby fired five plasma blasts and a Focus Blast at the bars, below them, destroying the roof of the arena before they flew down and rammed into the angered dragon.

When the dust finally settled, the Vikings' shock grew as they saw Toothless, Stryka, Nebby, Winter, and Shadow attacking the Monstrous Nightmare, keeping it away from their friends and human mother just as Sarah's family appeared to save them as well.

"Night Furies!" gasped Gobber in shock before he took note of Sarah's Pokemon. "And, what in the name of Thor's Gods are those creatures?!"

The Monstrous Nightmare, still in its hate-filled rampage, tried to reach the Viking underdogs and Sarah with its jaws but Nebby rammed it back, sending it flying towards Oshawott as he used a powerful Razor Shell and made it scream in pain. But, its punishment wasn't over yet as Wooloo rolled forward and slammed the powerful dragon into the arena walls, shocking the villagers as they've never seen such a small creature like the Sheep Pokemon take down a fully-grown dragon.

The Monstrous Nightmare, reeling from the unexpected assault, got back on its claws as Winter, Stryka, Toothless, and Shadow stood in front of Sarah, Hiccup, and Zenna, growling back at it as they dared the opposing dragon to kill them as well if they want to get their riders.

"You will not touch our riders, our friends, our family with even one inch of your filthy barbaric teeth!" threatened Shadow, baring his own teeth.

"SAVAGES!" roared the Monstrous Nightmare.

In response to this, the four Striker Class dragons roared defiantly at the Monstrous Nightmare (now revealed to be male from its only spoken word), their righteous fury dwarfing the anger he was feeling as he flinched and shrunk at the dominance they were exuberating. Unable to get closer to their riders and realizing that he had lost against his four opponents, the Monstrous Nightmare conceded and reluctantly slunk back to the shadows of its cage.

Once they were sure the Monstrous Nightmare could do no harm, the four dragons turned to the trio with all of them nuzzling and hugging each other happily.

"You came!" cried Sarah, elated and surprised.

"We had a feeling you need our help," replied Shadow, scowling in relief as he and Winter looked at her. "Do you have any idea how terrified we were when we saw that guy pinning you three down?"

"I was just trying to protect Hiccup and Zenna the only way I know how!"

"And, you nearly died as a result! You scared us half-to-death!"

"What were you thinking?! Promise me you won't do something as reckless and stupid again even if it's to help your friends, promise me!" scolded Winter, giving her a warning but loving look as she held her and her mate's rider.

"Okay, okay! I'll remember, we all will. Right now, you don't know how happy we are to see you guys," replied Sarah, eventually smiling.

That was all Shadow and Winter needed to hear as they brought Sarah in for another nuzzle and hug. But, their, Toothless, Stryka, Hiccup, and Zenna's joyful reunion after their close shave didn't last long as they then saw all the Vikings gathered getting their weapons ready and jumped into the arena to kill the three Night Furies and the Light Fury.

But, realizing the danger posed by the Vikings themselves, Sarah's entire family and Tsukumaro formed a protective circle around all seven of them with Eternatus, Aurorus, and Tyrantrum using their sizes as extra barriers to block the Vikings from getting closer.

Hiccup, Astrid, and Zenna were horrified by what they were seeing since they now know that between the four of them, Sarah was in the most trouble. The Vikings had never seen Pokemon or any other dragons like the Deathgrippers, Stromcutters, Tide Gliders, Windwalkers, Shovelhelms, Dramillions, Buffalords, Singetails, Triple Strykes, Death Songs, Slithersongs, Threadtails, Rumblehorns, Light Furies, Night Lights and Razorwhips in their entire lives, they all saw the little princess as the biggest threat they've come face to face with as they glared daggers at them all. None of them had ever expected someone who'd have dragons by her side or other magical creatures they can't even begin to imagine living amongst them so they felt betrayed.

"Toothless, Stryka! Go, go!" shouted Hiccup to his and Zenna's Night Furies.

"Stryka, you and Toothless! Run!" cried Zenna before she saw Stoick and her parents charge at them with a hammer and two axes at hand.

"Hiccup, Zenna, get away from them!" shouted Edgar furiously.

"Dad, Edgar, Henna, no! He won't hurt you!" begged Hiccup.

"Mom, Daddy, stop!" shouted Zenna frantically.

Their parents paid no attention but before they could land a hit on the two Night Furies, Cobalion, Virizion, Terrakion, and Keldeo (having changed to his Resolute Form already) jumped between them and activated their Sacred Sword and Secret Sword attacks, knocking the three to the side with unparalleled force.

"You witch, this is all your fault! How dare you bring these monsters into our village!" snarled Stoick as they picked themselves up and glared at Sarah.

"My fault?! What you're doing is not just torture, it's out of complete ignorance to the truth about the dragons and what's really going on behind your backs for the last three centuries since these Dragon Wars started!" spat Sarah angrily, returning Stoick's glare. "And, another thing, my dragons are not monsters and if there are any monsters around here, I'm looking at them right now! My dragons are my family and if I must die in order to protect them and my Pokemon, so be it!"

"You and those dragons, family?! HA! That's the most insane thing I've ever heard!" exclaimed Edgar with a mocking glare. "For the last 300 years, dragons and Vikings have always been at war. That's the truth and nothing will change that!"

"Why would you side with those beasts and not with humans? Do you even know who or what you are?!" yelled Stoick, not getting what Sarah is telling everybody looking to kill them while the other Viking teens looked on in shock and awe from their places on the stands.

"I'm on nobody's side! As I've told my dragons before we came here, whoever and whatever's right or wrong will be determined by the people and creatures living their lives according to the times and of future generations who'd do well to learn from and not repeat the same mistakes previous generations made the defined their world! Your actions and those of the Red Death Queen and her tyranny so she'll be able to feed herself started these Dragon Wars and both humans and dragons suffered as a result! No winners on both sides, fear and hatred between each other, every last one of you humans and the dragons under the queen's control tearing each other apart, you don't know what you're all doing!"

She then turned to Hiccup, Toothless, Zenna, and Stryka, all of them and Astrid (who had joined the quartet) were all looking at her now, worried for her safety and what she and her family are getting themselves into.

"But, Hiccup, Zenna, and I, we were the only ones in this generation who are actually learning from those very mistakes you're making. And, because of that, not only were they able to see the dragons in a new light but we were able to prevent them from happening again in the first place. That's how we were able to find the Dragon's Nest and learn of the Red Death's machinations."

"The Dragon's Nest, you've actually been to the nest? And, you took Hiccup and Zenna with you to it?!" balked Stoick.

"Yes, our dragons lead us there but that's not the point!"

"NOT THE POINT?! What do you mean, not the point? Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for that deathtrap to end the Dragon Wars ever since they started and the dragons attacked us first? Why do you plan on getting in our way?!"

"Don't be so conceited, Stoick! My friends, my family, and I are all trying to show you that endless violence and death never solves anything! What good will destroying the Dragon's Nest do for you? Will ending the war your way really help? You and your people... You need to come to your senses just as your son and Edgar and Henna's daughter had!"

"Why should we believe you, devil's spawn? You're no Viking from what you've proven!" spat Henna, glaring daggers at Sarah.

"You obviously came from a place we know absolutely nothing about and you don't belong in our world! Who are you, really?!" demanded Edgar as he pointed his ax threateningly at her.

Sarah took a deep but angered breath as she steeled herself for the reveal before saying, "...My name is Princess Sarah Tomoe, Daughter of King Doug and Queen Delilah of the Alola Region where I'm from, the last of the Alolan Royal Hierarchy," she replied firmly and defiantly, shocking Hiccup, Zenna and Astrid's entire village and their fellow teens.

The Vikings gave shocked whispers as they realized they were in the presence of a princess from another world the whole time and none of them even noticed. Even Fishlegs, Snotlout and the twins could hardly believe it as they exchanged shocked and bewildered looks.

"Princess?!"

"Royal Hierachy!" gawked Edgar and Henna, flabbergasted.

"What...?" breathed Stoick in stunned shock and silence.

"My family and I traveled from our world on account of a friend of ours telling us about these Dragon Wars, thinking that we can be able to help you understand what you're doing is wrong. But, looking at you all right now, I can very well see what my dragons told me about when they said that they didn't want to come back, at all!"

The little princess looked around at the still-shocked Vikings (sans Astrid, Hiccup, and Zenna along with Toothless and Stryka), her dragons' previous points being made clear as she now saw the truth they were telling her about them prior.

"I thought we could help you all understand the dragons better and see that there's more to them than meets the eye just as my family and I had proven with Hiccup, Astrid, and Zenna with them, Toothless, Stryka. But now, I can see that my dragons have made a valid point about you with your behavior towards any and all dragons like them. Your behavior is savage when you retaliated against them out of fear, hatred, and paranoia when they attacked you as per the Red Death's orders; by attacking them on that basis alone, you Vikings are obviously the real monsters and barbarians!"

"Regardless, if this cycle of hatred and fear continues, more blood will be shed on both sides and there will be no end to it all! That's all this pointless war will ever bring you if keep going on like this but I intend to stop this madness, once and for all! I'll fight to protect the ones I love; whether if it's friend or foe and humans, dragons, and Pokemon alike, I won't allow meaningless deaths anymore!"

"Is that so?" seethed Stoick infuriatingly, holding his ax and still glaring at her.

"Humans and dragons will never live together for as long as we live," spat Edgar as he and Henna threw away their axes and drew their swords. "You talk big but can you back it up?"

"You honestly don't think you can fulfill such a worthless dream and idealistic nonsense, don't you?" sneered Henna.

"I don't think I can, I KNOW I can," scoffed the princess before she turned to Zorro. "Zorro?"

"As you wish, Princess," replied the Forest Pokemon, knowing what she wanted as he stood before Henna and Edgar and prepared himself to fight.

Henna and Edgar charged at him as they raised their swords and let out battle cries before Sarah shouted, "Use Leaf Blade!"

Turning the leaves on his arms into two pairs of glowing green blades, Zorro lunged forward at great speed and met Zenna's parents at blade point, the three of them engaging in a 2-on-1 sword fight. Despite being outnumbered, the Sceptile proved himself to be an incredibly skilled swordsman for a Pokemon of his type as he blocked and parried each of Edgar and Henna's strikes. Even though they are both skilled Vikings in their own right, Henna and her husband are slowly realizing that they're finding themselves outclassed by a Pokemon of all creatures as they tried to kill him until he slashed through their swords and cut the blades in half, falling to the ground and losing the duel against him.

"Oh, gods!"

"Holy Shields!" gasped Astrid and Zenna in stunned awe as Zorro stood up from his current pose and canceled his Leaf Blade before returning to Sarah.

"B-H-how? Why?!" spluttered a shocked Henna, she and Edgar looking at their broken swords in horror as they got up on their knees as the other Vikings gave out more shocked gasps and bewildered murmurs to each other.

"Damn...!"

"Holy-!"

"Whoa!"

"What incredible power!" gasped Snotlout, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Fishlegs in amazement.

"But, how?! Those swords my people made for them are from the best metal we could forge!" shrieked Stoick in shock and disbelief at Sarah as she turned to him.

"You see now, Stoick? Flame me all you want, I'm only doing what's right. And, yes, I do know what's right and what's wrong; I may not be a Viking but I do know what war brings and the ramifications from it," she blatantly announced to him.

"Don't think you understand what we had to go through with those beasts! We Vikings had to endure this torture from those beasts year after year, generation after generation!" snapped Stoick defiantly. "Many lives were lost but we humans had it worse with our lost food, destroyed homes, and the lives we lost, not like you would understand since you've been pampered your whole life!"

The scathing remark from Stoick caused her entire family to gasp and look at him in shock and outrage as he just crossed a line with the princess that shouldn't have been crossed. By that point, it had now sent Sarah over the edge as she marched up to him and gave the Viking Chief a hard punch to the face, shocking everybody as he stumbled back and fell from the heavy blow she had given her.

"Are you that dense to do that...? Are you happy with what you've spat towards me? ...ARE YOU COMPLETELY STUPID?!" she screamed furiously, tears starting to well up in her eyes as she was reminded of her parents and what she had supposedly lost.

"I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM BECAUSE I'M IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION AS YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WERE! MY REAL MOTHER AND FATHER GAVE THEMSELVES UP TO PROTECT ME FROM MY UNCLE BECAUSE HE TRIED TO SELL ME OFF AND HAVE ME KILLED WHEN I WAS ONLY A BABY JUST SO HE CAN REGAIN HIS POSITION AS THE HEIR TO MY FATHER'S THRONE AND BECOME KING! WHEN HE RETURNED AND TRIED TO KILL US AGAIN, THEY WERE FORCED TO SEND MY AWAY FOR MY OWN PROTECTION AND TO SAVE THEIR KINGDOM!" she outright bellowed, the tears now flowing down her face as everyone looked on in horror.

"I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY'RE EVEN STILL ALIVE! AND NOW, I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE MAN WHO TRIED TO HAVE ME KILLED IN A WAR OF MY OWN JUST TO RESTORE PEACE TO MY OWN HOME! AND, RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO THINK I'VE BEEN HAVING IT EASY WHILE YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WERE HAVING IT ROUGH WHEN I'VE GONE THROUGH THE SAME PAIN YOU ALL DID?! HOW DARE YOU MOCK MY MUTUAL FEELINGS FOR YOU ALL WHEN YOU'RE DOING NOTHING BUT ACTING LIKE A BRAT!"

The bombshell confession that Sarah dropped caused the Vikings to be swallowed in a mix of shock, surprise, and horror, especially for Gobber, Edgar, Henna, and the Viking teens. They now know why she was as strong as she is, the truth about her compassion towards the dragons, and why she had so many of them and Pokemon as family and friends.

Even the rest of the village couldn't help but realize they had a kindred spirit in the little princess because she went through the exact same pain they did but hers was much more personal since she's in a war against someone who was once considered family. They had no idea that losing the ones she loved most of all hit her the hardest given she was the heir to the throne of her family's kingdom let alone be thrusted into a war of her own at such a tender age.

Astrid frowned as she placed herself in Sarah's shoes and tried to imagine what her life would be like if she had gone through everything that defined her as the person she is now. She felt awful about holding a grudge against her and even Tuffnut and Snotlout regretted thinking so lowly of her before as she continued her hate-filled rant towards Stoick, now directing her anger towards him.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS THIS STUPID TO REALIZE THAT YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND OVER THE DRAGONS! YOU'RE NO FATHER TO HICCUP, YOU'RE JUST THE MOST IMPULSIVE AND IRITATING CHIEF AND HUMAN I'VE EVER SEEN! YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM FOR WHO HE REALLY IS: THE KIND, GENTLE, AND MOST INTELLIGENT VIKING I'VE EVER SEEN AND YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE JUST BULLIED, CHASTISED, OSTRACIZED, AND IGNORED EVERYTHING HE DID JUST TO MAKE YOU ALL PROUD OF HIM ONE DAY! NO WONDER HE FEELS LIKE A FAILURE TO EVERYONE BARRING ZENNA, TOOTHLESS, STRYKA, MY FAMILY, AND I WHEN WE FIRST MET! FATHERS ARE KIND, THEY PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN, THEY RAISE THEM REGARDLESS OF THEIR PERSONALITIES, APPEARANCES, OR PROFESSIONS! BUT, THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HICCUP AND EXPECT WAY TOO MUCH OUT OF HIM SHOWED ME THAT YOU'RE NOT A REAL FATHER!"

Shocked over her extreme belittling of him as a father to Hiccup, the Viking Chief seethed dangerously at her as he gnashed his teeth.

"You insolent child! You're in no position to question me as a father and the Village Chief!" he raged, getting an enraged male lion's roar to the face by the enraged princess.

Hearing the roar triggered from her Lion DNA filled the village with even more terror as they had completely underestimated Sarah and how dangerous she can be if she's pushed to the edge. And, unfortunately for Stoick, he had to be the one to trigger her anger as he couldn't feel himself moving due to his newfound fear of Sarah.

Once she had finished, she looked over to the entirety of Berk sans the Viking teens as she gave them a final warning glare. It was clear she was done with all of the Vikings and she now fully realized that there really was no hope of getting them to realize the truth about the dragons and change their minds. Apart from Astrid, Zenna, and Hiccup, nobody else is willing to take the first step to break Berk's cycle of war and that left her devastated and angry.

"I see, so that's how you want it to be... I know now that you would prefer to go down fighting and die instead of reaching out to the very creatures you swore to destroy, I guess I was a fool to see that until now," she sighed, emotionally drained and angered as everyone else prepared to leave. "If that's what you want, my family and I are leaving and no matter what, we're ending this whole thing our way, whether you want to come with us or not."

On that devastating note, everyone quickly left for home, the Vikings still let in a state of anger, sadness, confusion, and extreme anxiety. Nobody had anything else to say as they went off, trying to avoid her furious, tear-stained gaze as she and her family stood alone with only the Viking teens, Toothless, and Stryka looking at her with sorrow and sympathy for her.

That night, Sarah and her family all returned to the cove to recuperate and prepare to leave for the Dragon's Nest and to kill the Red Death. But, Sarah was still heartbroken, devastated, and angered by the Vikings' refusal to see the truth about the dragons and she was especially steamed over Stoick's previous remark about her which lead to her previous meltdown.

"Well, that totally went well. Not," quipped Eternatus, miffed from what he saw out of the Vikings.

"I knew it, I knew those bastards couldn't be trusted and that coming back here was a mistake!" Hydro sulked angrily.

"I can't believe we even agreed to return to this deathtrap and work our boxers off just to bring peace to dragons and Vikings when those asses aren't willing to see the bigger picture involving that Red Death!" grumbled Starfire.

"But, not all of the Vikings were bad, girls. Hiccup and Zenna were the only ones who were able to open their hearts to the dragons," argued Keldeo. "They've been able to make friends with Toothless and Stryka and even Astrid managed to trust them."

"Unfortunately, Keldeo, those three children are only a minority compared to the rest," replied Cobalion gravely. "Fear is a very powerful motivator and it can make people do dangerous things if they can't learn to control it, we all saw what happened when Toothless, Stryka, Winter, and Shadow protected Sarah, Hiccup, and Zenna from the Monstrous Nightmare after Stoick set it off somehow."

"Are you saying... No matter what happens, we're now back to square one?!" blurted out Slurpuff in disbelief and anguish over their failure to convince the other Vikings of the truth.

"ARGH! Goddamn it!" snapped Jolteon, the pressure from their failed mission and the Vikings' fearful insolence getting to her as she slammed her paw on the ground in frustration. "Now, what?! We sit around waiting for those Vikings to do a damn thing to save themselves and the dragons or allow themselves to find the Dragon's Nest again and get eaten alive?"

"That's it, is there really no hope for those creeps? There's nothing else we can do for them other than bringing the fight to the Red Death tomorrow?!" sulked Glastrier. "This is an absolute load of cock. If those Vikings all act on impulse tomorrow, we'll be wiped out before getting to finish what we started."

"It is as it is, my boy. Sometimes, our paths are chosen for us and while those ruffians did choose to fight instead of understanding the dragons and the truth about the Berk Dragon Wars, it was once preempted when the Red Death chose the path she did for her own gain," soothed Calyrex as he rubbed his agitated Ice Type steed.

"Never mind that, for now! What about that arrogant cock, Stoick the Vast, threatening Sarah like that and making her have a meltdown after insulting her and her family with that callous remark?" barked Twilight, still miffed from what Stoick did to her family's rider.

"I can't believe he was so stupid to even do that! He has no idea what she had to go through and while she was still a baby back then and at 12-13 years old right now, too!" added Dawn, his feelings mutual.

"I can't even begin to think why a stuffed-up brat in a man's body like him was able to become Viking Chief in the first place," snorted Skystorm, wanting to give Stoick a piece of her mind. "How a human with such a pea-brained mind can rise up to the ranks of a leader without being able to question things or be skeptical of stuff at face value, I have no idea."

"Yeah, but that's the problem with those types of people, Aunt Skystorm. And yet, it does remind us about one thing; if anybody forms an opinion based on one side of the story and if they take everything that was said to them at face value without questioning about the history and context of such a thing, it'll be easy for somebody or something to manipulate you to do horrible things without realizing it," noted Star, now knowing what they've learned over the whole experience.

"It's too bad those horned-hat-wearing stooges didn't learn how to be skeptical, to question, and do their own thorough research on the dragons before Hiccup and Zenna came into the picture," sighed Sokka. "Even Young Astrid was able to finally trust the dragons after what she went through yesterday."

Wvyeon didn't know what to say after hearing about Sarah's tragic past, the difficult circumstances along with moments of peace and happiness experienced and snatched in moments that shaped her, and what she was in for with her own war in her own world. What can he say? Instead, he hung his head in sorrow and worry for the little princess, and with how emotionally drained and broken she's become given her meltdown back in Berk, he has no words on him to offer to Sarah to reassure her and cheer her up.

Before everybody else could think of their plan to kill off the Red Death further and figure out what to do with the Vikings, they heard a couple of coos coming toward them from the path leading back to Berk. Everyone turned and they saw Toothless and Stryka with Hiccup, Astrid, and Zenna on their backs flying down to meet them and Sarah. Their growing worry for her following her meltdown showed as they approached.

"Hey..." began Astrid, the three teens trying to find the right words to say.

"...H-how is she?" asked Hiccup.

"Mama's in the tent, she's still fragile everything that happened today," Nebby moped as he approached them.

"The princess' newfound trauma has overtaken her when we returned but she's beginning to recover," added Calyrex before he looked away, scowling about Stoick and the emotional damage he inflicted onto the little princess. "The fool, I can't even begin to imagine how much he has emotionally wounded her by mocking her and her family."

"Is losing her real family that bad?" Zenna questioned, wanting to make sure what she said several hours ago in the arena was true.

"Very bad," replied a remorseful Star. "If you want to help her, you'll have to be careful. She's blaming herself for getting involved in your fight with the dragons under the Red Death's control."

The three Viking teens exchanged worried looks before they looked to her family. "Can we talk to her?" requested Astrid.

"...Be quick, then," nodded Virizion.

The wisest of the Swords of Justice led the quintet to the tent and brought them inside where they saw Sarah sobbing on her bed with Blitz, Curly, Mai, and Tsukumaro trying their best to comfort her and assure her that coming to Berk and all that had happened wasn't her fault. The five of them couldn't help but feel their heartstrings being tugged by how broken Sarah has become with all that she had to endure and what Stoick had done to her.

Seeing her new friends wanting to check on her, the old adviser, Blitz, his girlfriend, and the little Mimikyu walked over to them, the princess' godfather nodding to them in approval to allow them to see his goddaughter before they and Virizion went back out. Now alone with her, Hiccup, Zenna, their Night Furies, and Astrid carefully approached the crying and bed-ridden Sarah, Hiccup taking a deep breath before clearing his throat to get her attention.

Sarah turned and stopped sobbing for a moment as she looked at them with her tear-stained eyes, feeling like she wants to say something important to them.

"Sarah," frowned Hiccup worriedly.

"...I'm so sorry," Sarah sniffed, hugging Hiccup as Zenna and Astrid joined them on her bed while Toothless and Stryka came over and nuzzled her gently.

"For what, this? We've gotten out of much worse scrapes than this," joked Zenna, trying to lighten the mood. "We're Vikings, this kind of stuff is an occupational hazard. Can't think of any right now, but..."

"It would've been better if we never met, then none of this would've happened!"

Astrid frowned remorsefully as she decided to face her and finally speak up, "Sarah, please, look at us..." she begged gently, making her see eye-to-eye with them until she turned to Astrid.

"You've done and knew so much about the dragons we can't even begin to imagine. If everything does go bad, we'd rather die or get kicked out tomorrow rather than live 100 years without having the dragons as our potential friends and our allies..."

Hiccup nodded reassuringly as he picked up where Astrid left off, "We know what you meant, we've all been there at one point or another in our lives. Don't let what happened back in the arena nor should you let my father's words get to you as they did..."

"Yeah, at least one good thing came out of it. I've been waiting for someone to chew out the chief as hard as that," replied Zenna, chuckling a little before her sorrowful frown returned. "If I'm honest, you're the greatest person we've ever met, more than you'd realize. You acted like a real queen, a mother for Hiccup. We've never been the same since we've lost her and you held out hope that there is more to the dragons than we initially thought."

"They're right, I now know you were right all along about the dragons and you did experience what our people went through but on a more personal level. But, just know that we, Toothless, and Stryka are with you; we'll help you stop the Red Death from continuing the Dragon Wars for her own gain."

Sarah looked at the three teens and their elated sense of hope through her along with the hopeful and reassuring gazes from Toothless and Stryka, the Night Fury couple also knowing for certain that with her and her family's help, the Dragon Wars will indeed come to an end and peace between the Vikings and the dragons will eventually become a reality.

"...Yeah. Astrid, guys, thanks," sniffed Sarah again, now giving a rhy smile.

"So, what's the plan?" Hiccup pondered, wanting to know what they have to do for their final battle against the Red Death at the Dragon's Nest.

For the rest of the night the five of them spent with her at the cove and after Tsukumaro was made sure that she was fine, Sarah explained to them what they all were going to do upon returning to the Dragon's Nest. Seeing that there's a chance for their plan(s) to work, Astrid, Hiccup, Zenna, Toothless, and Stryka returned home with renewed hope as they all decided to turn in for the night.

The next morning, dawn was just about to break as the fated day of everyone's rumble with the Red Death finally came. Everyone in Sarah's family (after waking up bright and early) had managed to go through what they needed to do and whatever supplies they have that can be of help against the vicious queen with Tsukumaro placing a Control Immunity Spell on the dragon's armor as a much-needed precaution and barrier to shield them from her Mind Control.

As she left after completing her own preparations, a wide-awake Blitz came out from the tent and saw his human mother going off on her own. While she was rejuvenated from her sleep, Stoick's previous words and her meltdown left her with a bit of emotional drainage left so she decided to clear her head before they left.

He tried to go after her but Keldeo came up from behind him and held him back, shaking his head as to tell him to let her take some time to herself to mentally prepare herself for what was about to become.

At the same time, Astrid, Hiccup, and Zenna prepared themselves to make their way to the Dragon's Nest after meeting with Sarah and her family to end the Dragon Wars for good. Even the Night Fury couple (after taking shelter from a particular hiding place their riders found for them in the village) was eager to end the strife caused by the wars, at last. But, as Hiccup prepared to head for the Cove to meet with Sarah's first, none of them had any idea that their people had other ideas on ending the Dragon Wars and it's something they would be vehemently against when they got word of their actions.

Sarah wandered off for a little bit down the cove before she came into a clearing deeper in the forest before she decided to rest up and think about what was to happen when she, her friends, and her family reach the Dragon's Nest again. She sat down on a nearby log, thinking about everything and wondering in the back of her mind how things would've gone if she just backed out from what Tapu Koko told her.

Minutes later, as she continued to stew in her own thoughts, she heard soft footsteps coming from behind her but she heard a familiar coo from the source of the footsteps and when she came into view, it was revealed to be Winter. Having seen her leave the campsite to collect herself, she followed her rider to give her own reassurance before they would leave for their final battle.

"The others haven't changed their minds about the Vikings helping us besides Astrid, Hiccup, and Zenna?" asked Sarah.

"No, but I suppose it's still understandable. I mean, my mate and I were also apprehensive about returning here and we're still horrified and outraged that things haven't changed a bit since we all left," sighed Winter sadly as she nuzzled her rider. "As soon as our affair with the Red Death is over, we've already arranged to leave this world and return home immediately."

"The other dragons are not taking Stoick's words thrown at me lightly, right?"

"They're madder at him and his people sans our new friends if my and Shadow's argument with them while we're all preparing to leave for the Dragon's Nest is any indicator. You probably heard us coming to a head about the Vikings, didn't you?"

"I did. I don't understand it, I know that some people will never change but this takes it to a much lower and deadlier level given what we're all up against here. Why can't they see the truth when it's so clear in front of them given what we've found out? Why do people like Stoick always have to be so stubborn?"

"I can't speak for everybody and neither could you with anybody else but for them, it's all about pride as he and his people have shown. Vikings are really prideful creatures amongst many humans in dimensions and worlds that have them and for them, in the face of danger, it's a matter of principle, of pride, of dignity, of honor. Nothing else matters to them, only the honor of a Viking is what they really strive for when it comes to killing dragons and such."

"What are we gonna do after the Red Death is gone, girl?"

"I... I don't know," finished Winter, the two of them deciding to take a few more minutes to relax before heading back to their family's campsite.

But, just when it seemed that Sarah was able to compose herself as Winter hoped for, knowing how emotionally scarred and drained she was about everything the previous day, their peaceful moment was suddenly shattered when they started to leave the clearing and a bola came out of nowhere before it binded her tightly.

"GAH!" she screamed before she grunted upon hitting the ground, trussed up like a turkey.

"Sarah!" cried a shocked and distressed Winter, their screams immediately being heard by Shadow and the others as they turned to the path they went on.

The Light Fury rushed towards her to free her from the bola but the two of them were immediately surrounded by the Vikings from Berk with their weapons and more bolas at hand. Seeing their new enemy in their grasp, two of the Vikings grabbed and held her rider while the others took her weapons and her satchels before throwing them away. Winter snarled at them for their treachery and her hatred for them grew when she saw Stoick appearing in front of her through the Viking mob.

"Hello, devil's spawn," he spat with a glare, making her snarl at him before he raised a sword and held it at her frightened rider. "Now, here's the deal: You're going to lead us to the Dragon's Nest so we can take it out as we planned to. Make one wrong move and resist us, the girl dies."

Winter seethed with rage at Stoick and the Vikings, seeing that they're willing to sink so low if only to ensure their own survival and forsake the dragons for their own freedom. She didn't want to give them the satisfaction of killing them for their own salvation when the real enemy was the Red Death but she was caught between a rock and a hard place and she knew Sarah's death will be on her if she didn't obey Hiccup's father.

With no choice but to cooperate in order to protect the little princess she loved too much as her own child, the Light Fury surrendered and allowed herself to be captured. But, none of them were aware that they were eavesdropped on by their horrified family, having been alerted by their screams and seeing them in a literally perilous bind since the Vikings were about to march their way towards death's door.

"Mo-MMPH!"

"Why, you little-MM-MMM!" began Blitz and Hydro as they tried to jump the Vikings but were muffled and dragged back from their hiding spots.

A few of the Vikings turned as they heard their muffled calls but they didn't see anybody as they looked at each other and shrugged, thinking that it was only a bird or a deer that went past them. When they were set and they had Sarah and Winter captured (the latter having a muzzle on her and chains on her), after placing them on a rolling cart, Stoick and his people proceeded to begin their own preparations to head for the Dragon's Nest. Their family watched on quietly in their growing horror, shock, and outrage as they saw the two being carted off.

"Auntie! Mommy!" cried the Night Lights as quietly as they could, horrified for their captured mother and human aunt as Starfire, Skystorm, and Silver tried to comfort them.

"Oh no, we're too late!" gasped Ching Wan, filled with dread. "Master Sarah and Winter have been taken alive!"

"Those merciless asses will pay for this!"

"They'll be sorry for capturing them and we're gonna see to it, to Odin's Hellfire with the Red Death!"

"We're gonna kill those bastards!" seethed Venom, Voltage, and Hydro, looking like they're out for Viking blood.

"Enough! Remember, they have Sarah and my mate, they'll kill them if we go after them," warned Shadow, not wanting them to be reckless. "I want to get revenge for them, too, but the matter with the Red Death comes first and it all ties to them since we've been there already."

"But, Daddy, they got Auntie Sarah and Mommy!"

"We can't just leave them to do the Vikings' bidding for the Dragon's Nest before they kill them!"

"We have to do something!" begged Dart and her brothers frantically.

"I want to help them, kids," replied the older Night Fury to his children, donning a worried frown as they were. "But, we need to think through our rescue carefully. As of right now, I don't know what to do..."

"Well, what'll we do in the meantime? They'll be leaving soon and we're running out of time," quizzed Suicune.

"The only thing we can do, Suicune. The next right thing..." replied Tsukumaro, fueled by his anger at the Vikings and his rekindled determination to save his goddaughter again.

"Y-y-y-you mean, M-m-m-Mr. Hiccup and Ms. Z-z-z-Zenna?" asked Mai, still frightened after seeing the Vikings capture Sarah and Winter.

"...Yes, they, Toothless, Stryka, and Astrid are our only hope."

Steeling himself as he and the others searched for and found all of Sarah's belongings the Vikings have tossed aside, Tsukumaro and everybody else quickly made their way to Berk to tell the three Viking teens and the Night Fury couple the bad news. They could only hope there was still time for them to rescue them before or as they reach the Dragon's Nest. But, with the dragons and aside from Shadow, the others were feeling a newfound loathing of the Vikings that dared to cross a line with them that should never be crossed. With their capturing their rider and their Night Fury leader's mate, remembering what had happened to the previous Night Fury couple they've encountered and found to be dead, now it's personal.

Over at Berk, Hiccup, Zenna, and Astrid were thrown for a horrifying loop when they saw an unconscious Sarah tied up on a rolling cart with a captured Winter, the Light Fury looking at the three of them apologetically as they were hauled away, prompting Hiccup and Zenna to immediately confront their parents.

"How long, Hiccup...? How long?! I should've known you'd do this," Stoick seethed as they got against each other in the Great Hall. "I should've seen the signs when they made themselves known! The very same ones Elias used before he died! We had a deal!"

"I know we did! But, that was before, this was now! And, I, look... It's all so messed up," Hiccup argued, trying to find the right words as he groaned while Stoick looked away in disgust. "I've learned a lot about them with Sarah and so did Zenna and we found out that everything we've been taught about them was all wrong!"

"So was everything in the right as you demonstrated? Was it all a trick, a lie?! Wishful thinking?!"

"It's the truth! I screwed up, I'll admit that! I should've told you from the start, but I just... Go ahead, take it out on me as you wish. Be mad at me as you have done prior but don't hurt Sarah or Winter. They had nothing to do with everything we've been through, they and their family just gave us a nudge in the right direction to the truth."

"So, that's it? That dragon and your otherworldly friend are all you're worried about, not the people they almost killed? Your own flesh and blood?"

"They were just protecting me when you provoked the Monstrous Nightmare! They're not dangerous as you and everyone else were putting it!" snapped Hiccup, growing irritated by his father's stubbornness.

"Dragons like the ones she has on her have killed hundreds of us! And, you and Zenna failed to realize that!"

"And, we've killed thousands of them in retaliation, without realizing the whole truth behind everything! They were just trying to defend themselves, they pillaged us and laid waste to our homes because they have to! We gave them no choice and a deadly Alpha Dragon is responsible for everything! If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves! There's something else on that island, Dad! You don't know what you're up against! It's not like anything you've ever seen!"

Giving off a low groan of anger and hatred, Stoick decided to carry out his plan and cast Hiccup aside forever. Ignoring Hiccup's shocked and angered protests, he pushed his son aside as he prepared to join his fellow Vikings and exit the Great Hall.

"Dad, please! You don't understand, I swear to Odin you won't win this one this time!" begged the Viking underdog as he grabbed him to try and stop him. "Dad, for once in your life, please! Listen to me!"

With his back still turned, Stoick forcefully and angrily shoved Hiccup to the ground before telling him lowly, "Your otherworldly friend is forever a threat and you've thrown your lot in with her and them. You're not a Viking, you're not my son..."

Hiccup gasped as he was left behind, his eyes widening with horror as he realized that his own father had disowned him while he left. "Ready the ships and bring the prisoners!" Stoick snapped to another group Vikings as he vanished out of sight.

Hiccup was horrified by what he had witnessed and once again, he was forced to confront the horrible truth that he and Zenna opened their hearts and eyes to regarding the wars involving the dragons and the Vikings thanks to Sarah's teachings and their time with her, her family, Toothless, and Stryka. Even though the dragons were forced against their wills to do the Red Death's bidding, their people were still reacting out of fear and all they ever saw of them was a pack of monsters who wanted to destroy them and nothing more. And, they will abandon and kill any and all who would oppose them to achieve their goals of Berk's salvation in the bloodiest manner they thought best. What was he to do now?

But, he wasn't the only one devastated by his own father's actions as Zenna went through a similar confrontation when she went home to speak with her mother and father on the matter.

"Zenna! What in the name of Odin were you thinking?!" shrieked Henna furiously, making her flinch as tears started to well up in her hurt eyes.

"Mom, Dad... Hiccup and I realized something that we never thought was possible before Sarah came and helped us see the truth. Everything you and everybody else taught us about the dragons," she began, trying to find the right words to explain to her parents herself just as Hiccup tried with Stoick. "It was all wrong. And, yes, I also did what had never been done before in our world... Like Hiccup did with Toothless, I've befriended a dragon."

She then looked over to the arena where she knew Toothless and Stryka were staying at for the time being. She was beating herself up mentally for not realizing what her parents, Stoick, and her people have done but she couldn't dwell on it knowing what was at stake.

"But, Stryka's more than just a dragon to me... She's not a brainless beast, she's my best friend," she continued, trying to be strong for the Night Fury couple, Sarah, and Winter.

Edgar was stunned along with his wife, their faces becoming pale as they tried to wrap their heads around what was really the truth. They didn't want to believe what their daughter was saying and as such...

"No," replied Henna after a while, making Zenna look at her in shock as she came over and cupped her daughter's cheeks. "Zenna, what you're saying is nothing but lies. Humans and dragons were never meant to be friends, that's the way it is."

"NO! You're lying, you just don't get it! Both of you! The dragons; they're not mindless animals, they were never the vicious beasts we once thought they were!" she snapped, slapping her mother's hands off of her and backed away while pointing at her parents, mentally flinching from their hurt eyes.

"Don't you remember what happened at the arena yesterday after Stoick made the Monstrous Nightmare mad? Stryka, Toothless, Sarah, Shadow, and Winter, they saved us! She, her dragons, and her Pokemon, they've never meant any harm! Why, Mom, Dad? Why did you all have to capture her and Winter?! What did she ever do to you?!"

"You know why, Love! She's a danger to us all with everything she did even if she and her creatures saved you and Hiccup! Who knows what else she has up her treacherous sleeve? She lied to all of us and you two have bought into her trickery! What sort of irritating stories did she fill your heads with while you were off on your own with her? You should've trusted your own flesh and blood, your own people, over the likes of her!"

"She was the same as us but on a more personal level! Would she really be lying if everything she said didn't come from her heart?! Why can't you just accept the possibility that dragons and humans can be friends, after all? It's not their fault we've been stuck in this stupid war with them for the last 300 years!"

"Vikings and dragons have never been friends when they attacked us first and they never will be, what you're wishing for is nothing but idealistic nonsense!" screamed Edgar furiously.

"It's not nonsense, Dad, it's the truth! The dragons are not really monsters; they're more like us than we'd care to think! I saw them for what they really are just as I found out what we really are to them! In truth, we humans, we Vikings, are the real monsters and that's before we found out about the real dragon behind all of this!"

"Young lady, you're not thinking straight! Dragons can never be friends with us no matter how you like to think! It's not happening!" shrieked a pained and furious Henna.

"If Elias were still here, he would've believed me!" snapped Zenna, glaring at her parents.

"THE TIME WHEN YOUR BROTHER FOOLISHLY BELIEVED THAT SENTIMENT, HE DIED IN FRONT OF US!" bellowed Edgar at last, having lost patience with his daughter.

But then, he gasped in horror along with his wife as he covered his mouth. But, it was too late as they looked to their daughter; Zenna's eyes shook in terror at them as her father's previous words sunk in her mind. She now realized that her own parents had kept her brother's death a secret from her.

"...What?" Zenna gasped in bewildered horror.

"Oh, dear... Honey, it's time," Henna whimpered to Edgar, no longer wanting to keep the secret they supposedly had been hiding from her any longer.

Edgar was conflicted as he tried to speak up but he sighed in defeat as he held his crying wife close while she held her hid her face in her eyes, crying. He also couldn't bear to lie to Zenna anymore as well while he looked away, causing their daughter to look between them in growing horror and shock.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" she asked.

Neither Edgar nor Henna wanted to tell her but they couldn't bear it any longer after Zenna pressed them, "Mom, Dad, please tell me! What happened to Elias?"

As Zenna tried to get the truth about her brother's death out of her parents, her mind was suddenly racing like crazy. Previous memories of her parents soon came flooding back as they showed them coming back to her from a recent raid they've been on, walking slowly and solemnly towards their now-only daughter as she wondered what happened to Elias. The only answers they gave to the little girl were the presence of his shield and some battle sticks he once had on him and them telling her that a dragon killed her big brother - they told her that a dragon burned him alive, something that left her ice-cold in horror as it all came to her.

She dropped to her knees at the devastating truth as she held her head: Elias had died and left their family trying to befriend a dragon as she did!

There was silence all around the household as Zenna then slowly looked at her parents, remembering and finally knowing what went down without them telling her but devastated, shocked, and angered that they had been lying to her about why her brother had died.

Henna just tearfully nodded as she continued to sob, confirming what she now knew and remembered. She didn't feel herself starting to collapse until Edgar gently lifted her up and took her to a chair, gingerly setting her down.

The broken Viking teen looked at her brother's sticks and shields resting on the table as she left them following her, Astrid, and Hiccup's last day of Dragon Training as she tried to take in everything. She couldn't believe that Elias had died trying to do her greatest accomplishment and her parents lied to her in her face, she couldn't understand why.

"We didn't want you to know when Elias foolishly tried to-" Edgar hiccuped, trying and failing to hold back his grief as he cried. "We were afraid we'd lose you as well if you dared to do the exact same thing he did two years ago..."

"We thought that after he killed a dragon and became a Viking, he would be filled with pride as we hoped. But, that was not to be sometime later," continued Henna, her sobs slowing down but still hurting. "He told us many times over the years that the guilt he was feeling from having to kill those creatures would eat him alive and there was no way out for him. Whenever there was a raid on, we would always see him hesitate and have a fearful look in his eyes before he went outside."

Edgar tried to stay strong but couldn't due to his and his wife's pain, hanging his head remorsefully and looking older than he already is. "Every time he killed even one dragon, we saw his eyes losing the Viking spark the once had in him. It was like everything he was proud to do and worked hard for all amounted to nothing," he went on miserably.

"He soon started getting the same ideas as you did and began questioning everything our people have done to the dragons over the years since the Dragon Wars began 300 years ago. He once asked the two of us why we fought with the dragons but we didn't know how to answer him. Then, he mentioned to us that there is a way for us and them to co-exist with one another. As you could tell, we didn't know what to say to that. We had no idea what he was getting himself into with his constant questioning of our people's teachings about the dragons and everything else."

"It was on one particular night when he couldn't take it anymore and decided to take matters into his own hands. We and some of our friends saw him running towards the arena and making his way towards the dragons in it before he made the fateful decision to free a Monstrous Nightmare," went on Henna, trying to be strong as Zenna straightened up.

"When we found him and saw him face to face with the creature, we saw the dragon looking calm and peaceful in front of him when it looked into his eyes. We thought our eyes were playing tricks on us but what we were seeing was the real thing. But, just as your brother was about to stretch his hand to it and make a connection with the Monstrous Nightmare, someone else came in and charged at them, thinking Elias was in danger. The dragon soon became aggressive in response to that and then, before we knew it..."

Henna couldn't bear to go on as her husband gently hugged her again as she sobbed, bursting into tears once more. The truth was now crystal clear to Zenna as she shut her horrified eyes and tried to slow down her beating heart; Elias died trying to befriend a Monstrous Nightmare and someone else had to ruin it by charging at them, thinking he was about to be killed and the dragon was still a threat. What was she supposed to do after hearing the full truth, cry, scream, panic, get angry? She just found out that Elias tried to do make friends with a dragon - the very thing that she and Hiccup managed to do with Stryka and Toothless - and her own family hid the full truth from her for two whole years.

She looked over at the last living reminders of her older brother, his battle sticks and shield still resting on the table next to her and she was filled with overwhelming grief and regret. She never once thought that Elias would consider himself to be a monster while she was growing up and right after he became a Viking but hearing the full truth about his death turned her previous views on being a Viking upside down.

If she didn't have any regrets before about becoming a Viking before Sarah came into her and Hiccup's lives, back then upon her arrival and seeing Toothless after he was downed and now, she now understood the full weight of her and Hiccup's previously hasty desires to become like their fellow Vikings.

Her previous world came tumbling down on her as she didn't know what to think now; her mind now continued to race as she tried to decide what to do next. Should she lash out at her parents for lying to her about Elias' death, would she beat herself up for being so dense about his guilt on even becoming a Viking and killing the dragons, would she give up on herself and her own life after realizing that her wishes and Elias' were the same?

Eventually, she made her way to her room to cry herself to sleep or otherwise and vent out her grief, her self-loathing, and her frustrations on everything that led to her, Hiccup, and Sarah's current predicament. Henna and Edgar decided not to follow, knowing that she needs a little time to take in everything she's told before they had to leave and join Stoick and their fellow Vikings on their final mission against the dragons.

But, they weren't as enthusiastic about going to the Dragon's Nest to finish off the creatures their people despised for so long. Now, they were also beginning to question if being Vikings and killing dragons really hold any meaning for them just as Zenna and Hiccup had. Is it really that big of a deal given what they've been forced to reveal to her now, was it all worth it anymore?

In her room, Zenna knelt down in front of her bed as she tried to bottle up her emotions on everything she had learned about Elias' death and his new yet similar mindset involving the dragons while juggling the fact that Sarah and Winter had been captured.

It was all too much for her as she let out a primal yell filled with angst, frustration, grief, and sorrow before she slammed her fists down on the bed and started crying.

She stayed like this for a couple of minutes as her parents didn't bother to disturb her; right now, she didn't need comfort, all she needed was a miracle in order to help her decide what to do next. Right now, she was at a crossroads over what she and Hiccup must do to stop all of this and save Sarah and Winter.

But then, that miracle came to her as she felt something akin to a hand gently touched and rubbed her while her bed dipped a little to her right. She thought her parents had entered the room and she wanted them to go away until she felt and saw the hand that rubbed her gently (which was glowing white) and followed it to reveal a figure she knew all too well as he warmly smiled down on her.

"...E-e-e... Eli?" she breathed, stunned as more tears welled up in her eyes.

"...What's up, Zee?" smiled the spirit, revealing himself to be her deceased brother, Elias.

Zenna was shocked as she took in the spirit of Elias looking down on her, still smiling warmly at her as she felt his hand, his hair, and then his face before she looked into his eyes. They were a handsome shade of sky blue and while they were once filled with pain and heartbreak for the dragons and what he had to deal with by killing them, he seemed at peace with himself and free from the trauma he once felt. She was fully convinced that she's seeing her brother again.

"It is you...!" she breathed before they shared a long-overdue hug with each other, happy to reunited despite the fact that Elias would have to return to the afterlife soon.

Zenna wanted to know why he was here with her but he said that he'll tell her everything once she and her parents were together again. She was initially reluctant to meet with them again after finding out that they lied to her about his death but Elias reassured her that he held nothing against them since he knew they were only concerned for and looking after him.

"Do you trust me?" he asked her, putting out his glowing hand.

"...Yes."

Joining hands for what would be the very last time between them, Zenna and Elias went back to their parents to exchange some long-overdue words between them and to make peace with what had befallen their family after the latter's death. They found them in the main living room still feeling down in the dumps after they've revealed the gut-wrenching truth to her; they were still having trouble deciding to stay with their daughter or leave her behind and join Stoick for the Dragon's Nest.

"Mom, Dad?" called Zenna, catching their attention.

The two looked over to her but they gasped in shock and awe when they saw the spirit of their long-lost son, his warm smile extended to them as well.

"Hey, Mom... Hi, Dad," replied Elias as he came to them.

"Elias, m-m-my boy... A-Are you r-r-really...?" stammered Henna, thunderstruck as she felt her son all over and feeling him despite him being a spirit.

She couldn't hold back the joy of seeing him again as she hugged him tightly and wept with bittersweet joy, hoping that he'll stay despite not having any or enough time to exchange what would be their final words between him, her, and Edgar. The Fiersome family patriarch also approached Elias, not wanting his presence to be a dream until he was pulled into his and Henna's hug and he felt him, also making him weep with the same bittersweet joy shared by his family.

"Oh, Son, you don't know how many times we wished we could see you again," Edgar continued to cry.

"Thank goodness you're back," added Henna, still weeping as she held him.

"Yeah, me too..." replied Elias before he frowned sadly as they broke the hug. "I'm sorry for what happened to you and Zenna, I only hope you'll understand why I had to do what I did. I just couldn't take being a Viking, someone who'd kill the dragons out of cold blood, anymore. I wanted to convince you that the dragons didn't mean any harm unless there's a bigger reason behind their attacks but I-"

"No, no, no, son. You don't need to say anything else," interrupted Edgar, he and Henna also frowning sadly. "I guess we got ourselves caught up in wanting to take revenge for all those we've lost to the dragons."

"Had we known right away that being a Viking would've been too much for you to bear and you'd see yourself as nothing but a monster with every dragon you've killed, we would've had your status revoked and kept you home," added a remorseful Henna. "If we haven't foolishly pushed you into becoming a Viking in the first place, you would still be here with us and we wouldn't have to live with the guilt of losing you like that..."

"Mom, Dad, don't cry... Listen, I should've tried harder to convince you and the others that the dragons are not really our enemy before I died and you had nothing to do with me dying by the Monstrous Nightmare and that crazy Viking that charged at us. But, ever since I died, I've thought about what would've happened had I not gone through Dragon Training for the last two years and... I realized that, maybe, this is for the best..."

"...For the best?"

"Boy...?" breathed the Fiersome couple in slight surprise and disbelief.

"I've already grown weary of being a Viking and this world with the Dragon Wars going on for the last 300 years even before dying as I did. The weight of having so much pressure from our people for all this time until the end of my life and the burden of having to be a murderer of so many innocent dragons have worn me far beyond my age when I was still alive. When I finally departed and regretted not saying goodbye to you, I felt free, I was relaxed, I finally felt like I could do anything now without having so much pain and suffering for everybody holding me back. I wanted to show you that killing the dragons will never bring happiness to all of us and only by reaching out to and understanding them will ensure that we will be happy for many years or so..."

He then turned to Zenna as he smiled proudly at her, "I had a feeling Zee would finish what I've started two years ago and I couldn't be happier for her to do what she did. She's grown up now and I no longer have to worry for her."

"Eli..." breathed Zenna.

Elias turned to his sister as he came to her and wiped whatever tears she had left, his proud smile still showing as he nodded.

"I'm proud of you, Zee. You've managed to do something that many of our people couldn't and I almost had done, you've actually befriended a dragon along with Hiccup. You are now more than what you would've become; there's still light in all of this darkness our people conjured up in their fear and paranoia towards the dragons, there's hope for everybody with you two and your new friend at the helm."

"But, what can we do? Stoick and our people have already captured her and her Light Fury, Winter, and I just don't know what we're going to do!"

"Just follow your heart and let it be your guiding key as you have done before after meeting and befriending your Night Fury, Stryka. Believe in yourself, your friends, and your dragon, if that is what you wish. Don't lose sight of the light you're looking for and what you believe in, your friends can attest to that, both of them..."

Zenna nodded as she looked ready to cry again before he then turned to Henna and Edgar for his second-to-last bits of words of encouragement for them.

"Mom, Dad, please don't mourn for me any longer. I'm okay now, I'll always be here as long as you think of me and celebrate my life no matter how exhausting or tragic it may have been to me. I never stopped loving you and Zee and I'm not going to stop now," he told his now-proud and contented parents as they nodded.

Finally, Elias began to glow and he and his family knew what was about to happen, "Oh, well... My time's finally up but I know that whenever and if possible, I might see you all again."

"Do you have to go again, Eli?" asked Zenna.

"If I return to you all unharmed and with a new lease on life, then everything you and Hiccup have done to get the Vikings to finally befriend and co-exist with the dragons in cooperation and harmony will be all for nothing, will it not?"

"..." Zenna remained silent as she shook her head; she knew her brother knew her all too well.

"Then, I trust you know what you must do going forward if you all live to see another day?"

"...Yeah, thanks to Sarah and her family and with the courage they gave to us, Toothless, and Stryka, Hiccup and I will continue our mission to bring and restore peace between us Vikings and the dragons and repent for humanity's sins against them so we can all start anew," she vowed as Elias' spirit started to break down in particles of light, his return to the afterlife inevitable.

"And, I'll continue to watch over you until the end of your days, knowing that we'll be together again one day. I'm sorry for leaving you, Mom, and Dad in such a haphazard way, Kiddo. I've left you all with such a heavy burden for the past two years and whatever weight I left you with dragged you down right up to this point when you needed my help."

"It's okay. We're fine now, thanks to you..."

"Right, I'll be returning to the land of eternal harmony. Please continue to carry on my wish for a world where Vikings and dragons will live together in harmony whether we're ready for them or not."

"...Mmm, goodbye, Eli."

"Take care of yourself, my boy," smiled Edgar sadly as he and Henna held each other close while everybody shed tears again.

"You be good while you're in heaven up there, you hear, dearie?" added Zenna, also smiling sadly.

"Hmm-Mmm, I will. Bye, Mom, Dad..." he smiled back before he closed his eyes, and his spirit finally dissolved as he vanished but not without telling Zenna, "Don't die so young as I have and live on for me, your friends, and the dragons, Zee... My sister, my little ray of hope..."

After Elias returned to the afterlife and the Fiersome family was finally at peace again, Sarah and her parents smiled at each other, keeping his last words in their hearts as they made their choice for the future once the Dragon Wars are finally over.

"No more secrets?" asked Zenna, knowing what they're all thinking as they're all at fault on the matter.

"No more secrets," confirmed her parents as they hugged each other happily, no longer having any hidden mental baggage for them to hide.

"Stoick will probably be waiting for us right now, darling," replied Edgar, deciding that he and Henna need to leave now before he hunts for them. "They'll already have assembled everything with the whole army ready to head for the Dragon's Nest."

"Okay, just... Don't let them hurt Sarah and Winter, alright?" Zenna requested, still worried for her and Hiccup's friend and Shadow's mate.

"We won't, honey. We heard everything," reassured Henna as she gently kissed her forehead and cupped her cheeks gently. "Your friend has been through much more than any of us could ever imagine at such a tender age. She did you and Hiccup wonders helping you become the people you are now. Now, it's time for us to return the favor."

The family of three exchanged a final hug before Henna and Edgar departed to meet with Stoick for the army's departure, leaving Zenna to worry and wonder if they, Sarah, and Winter would make it out alive after dealing with the Dragon's Nest.

While everybody in the Viking army was finishing their own preparations for their ambush on the Dragon's Nest, Henna and Edgar finally arrived above Stoick's ship, the Viking Chief waiting impatiently for them as he turned with his glare still on his face.

"I trust you had a word with your 'daughter' about this?" he inquired firmly.

"We have."

"We've said what we've had to say to her," the two replied back, holding their own.

"Good. Now, once this is all over, I don't want Zenna to set foot on this island ever again."

"Hmph, I beg to differ on that, if you're wondering," scoffed Edgar, throwing Stoick for a loop.

"Excuse me?" he barked in disbelief.

"If you're planning to kick her out of Berk just by vouching for her and Hiccup's friend and the dragons, you'll have to banish us, too," replied Henna, not bothering to hide her now-growing annoyance towards Stoick and his stubbornness.

"We love our daughter more than anything and we now understand that there's a definite possibility that humans and dragons can co-exist with one another. It's not disrespect or a disgrace, Stoick, it's the truth. Our son realized that and our daughter and Hiccup have made that a reality and even Sarah was able to see this with her own dragons."

"You dare to defy me even at the cost of your own lives?" Stoick snarled dangerously as he glared at Henna and Edgar, the two glaring back defiantly.

"You and your people are becoming more of the monsters the dragons are seeing you as with what you've done. The way you've banged on the arena's bars when you tried to stop the fight during Hiccup's final exam just when he was about to tame and befriend the Monstrous Nightmare proved Zenna and Hiccup's case as well as Sarah's."

"My husband's right, Stoick. The girl and her dragon you've captured are not dangerous, they've been nothing but a blessing to our children and your son. Why can't you and everybody see that for yourselves?"

"I will NOT have you speak that name nor of that boy ever again!" snapped Stoick, having lost his patience with the two of them after Zenna mentioned Hiccup. "If you're not with us on this mission for our salvation, you're against us! Throw them in the brig and do not let them out until we return home and decide what to do with them!"

Edgar and Henna maintained their defiant and angered glares at Stoick as they were led away, knowing that as long as he was driven by his hatred and paranoia for the dragons, things will not end well and he'll be sealing their people's doom.

"Set sail to Heliem's Gate!" he barked to the fleet as he turned his glare on the angered Winter as she was clamped down onto a base with Sarah fixed to a cross behind her. "Lead us to your home, devil. You know what'll happen if you dare to defy me..."

Winter snorted indignantly as she continued to comply to keep her rider safe while the fleet made their way to the Dragon's Nest. But, Stoick had no idea that not only was he playing a dangerous game with what he and his people are doing but he was about to lead everybody with him into a hellhole that they'll never escape from, one that'll only lead them all to their untimely deaths by his own hands.

"Remember this, everybody! We now have the means to find the dragons' lair and finish them off for the sake of our people and our world! I told you those dragons couldn't be our friends!" Stoick announced to the entire fleet. "Three of our own tried to befriend them and look what became of them! But now, I say, as we depart, that it's time we take the fight to them the only way we know how! As soon as we found the nest, we attack!"

The Vikings gathered all cheered in agreement as they began some last-minute preparations for the last battle of the Dragon Wars in their own way, reminding themselves of their twisted and false logic about the dragons only being monsters in their eyes.

(Pocahontas - Savages Parts 1 & 2 ft. Judy Kuhn, David Ogden Stiers, and Russell Means)

Stoick - What can you expect from filthy little heathens? Here's what you get when races are diverse~!

Their skin's a hellish red, they're only good when dead! They're vermin as I said and worse~!

Vikings - They're Savages, Savages~!

Stoick - Barely even human!

Vikings - Savages, Savages~!

Stoick - Drive them from our shore! They're not like you and me which means they must be evil! We must sound the drums of war!

Vikings and Stoick - They're Savages, Savages! Dirty, shrieking devils! Now, we sound the drums of war~!

Meanwhile, Sarah's entire family was making their way to Hiccup and Zenna to get their help before they saw the ships leaving and the ones they have to rescue stuck with the Vikings. They could only hope that they would be able to reach out to them, Astrid, Toothless, and Stryka in time but the dragons' minds were racing as they were filled with worry, anger, and fury in their hearts. Aside from Shadow (who was doing his best to control his emotions), the adults knew that the Vikings crossed a line too far when they kidnapped Sarah and Winter so they would use them to find the Dragon's Nest and kill them once they're done. That was the last straw for the adult dragons as their fears were realized yet again and they began to plot their revenge aside from wanting to kill the Red Death.

Camo - This is what we feared, the Vikings are demons! The only thing they feel at all is greed~!

Voltage - Beneath that milky hide, there's emptiness inside~!

Twilight and Dawn - I wonder if they even bleed~!

Adult Dragons (sans Shadow and the younger dragons) - They're Savages, Savages! Barely even human! Savages, Savages~!

Hydro - Killers at the core~!

Rosa - They're different from us which means they can't be trusted~!

Melody - We must sound the drums of war!

Adult Dragons (sans Shadow and the younger dragons) - They're Savages, Savages! First, we deal with those ones! Then, we sound the drums of war~!

Gobber: Let's go get/kill a few, lads!

Everyone - Savages, Savages~!

Stoick - Now, it's up to you, men!

Everyone - They're Savages, Savages! Barely even human! Now, we sound the drums...Of...War!

But, while the majority of Sarah's dragons are edging for revenge against the Vikings, hearing them express their current feelings on the matter, Shadow, Tsukumaro, Solar, and the Pokemon knew they would have their work cut out for them as they hurried to Hiccup and Zenna to get their, Astrid, Toothless, and Stryka's help.

All the while, Zenna reunited with Hiccup and they watched the army leaving from a cliff face, the two of them feeling helpless as they could only hope for Henna, Edgar, Sarah, and Winter to be safe, not knowing that the former two's parents were now prisoners to Stoick for what he saw as their betrayal.

A concerned pair of Astrid and Gothi found the two and they tried to think of how to comfort them and soothe their worries over what might happen to their people.

"They're going to kill Sarah and Winter after they find the Dragon's Nest, Gothi," said Zenna to Gothi, the kind-hearted Viking elder (and Hiccup and Zenna's other only friend in the village) looking on worriedly as she spoke.

"Gothi says, 'You have to stop them'," she encouraged through Astrid's translations as she drew on the ground with her staff.

"We can't..."

"'Child, you've both accomplished so much during your time with your dragons. Remember to trust them and listen with your hearts for them to guide you.'"

"We were wrong, Gothi, we waited too long to tell everybody and we followed the wrong path! We feel so lost," replied Hiccup, mentally beating himself up for everything that happened.

"It's a mess, ain't it? You both must feel horrible; you've lost everything now - your father, your tribe, your best friend, and Winter..." Astrid soothed as she spoke up, pointing out the obvious.

"Thanks for summing that up, Astrid," remarked Hiccup to Astrid sarcastically before he sighed miserably. "We had the chance after I shot him down. Why couldn't we have killed Toothless when we found him in the woods? It would've been better for everyone if we had..."

Gothi drew on the ground again and Astrid translated, "Are you sure it would have been better for everyone if you did kill him?"

"What do you mean?" asked Zenna, confused.

"The rest of us would've done it if we'd been in your shoes and found him before Stryka came along," Astrid implied. "So, why didn't you? Why couldn't you...?"

"I don't know... I couldn't, really."

"That's not an answer. But, why did you two also become friends with Sarah in the first place?"

"Why is that so important to you right now?"

Gothi wrote on the ground once more as Astrid translated, "Whenever I saw you two with the princess, you always seem different and much happier than usual when you would spend all of your time with her. We've never seen you so productive and happy for years with everything you've been through."

The older Viking girl then addressed the two herself with her own reason, "And, I want to remember what it is that you two said, right now."

"Oh, for the love of-urgh! Okay, I get it, I was a coward! I was weak, I couldn't kill a dragon even if it was to save my life!" spluttered Hiccup, aggravated.

"You said 'you wouldn't' that time," Astrid pointed out.

"D'oh, whatever! I wouldn't and neither would Zenna! 300 years of suffering and bloodshed instigated by the Red Death we've encountered yesterday and we're the first Vikings to ever not kill a dragon! Not once!"

"...First ones besides Sarah to ride one, though?" rebutted Astrid after a while.

Hiccup sighed as Zenna held a hand to his shoulder, nodding to him to admit why he couldn't find it in himself to kill Toothless and the real reason why they became friends with Sarah and her family.

"I wouldn't kill him because... He looked just as frightened as I was. I looked Toothless in the eye... At that moment, I saw myself; we weren't that different from each other when I saw how scared he was. And, with Sarah and her family... We felt something that we haven't felt from you and everyone else besides Gothi wasn't willing to be friends with us given our bad reputations. We felt like we really belonged with them; they were technically outcasts since they don't come from our world but we felt a kindred spirit in her when she first told us her past. And, they helped us to open our eyes and hearts to the truth about the dragons."

Astrid nodded, "I bet she and Winter are really frightened now given what happened to them. What are you going to do about it?"

"...Eh, probably something stupid," remarked Zenna.

"Good, but you've already done that."

Zenna and Hiccup looked at each other before they eventually smiled. "Then, why not something crazy?" the former offered as the two of them headed off to the arena to put their new plan into action.

"Now, that's more like it," chuckled Astrid, she and Gothi exchanging hopeful smiles before they followed them to the dragon arena.

Out in the ocean, Stoick and the Vikings had now reached Heliem's Gate and were entering the fog bank leading to the Dragon's Nest. They still had no idea what they were getting themselves into and what'll follow after will serve as a harsh lesson for them to learn, unaware that they'll learn the price of such folly.

"Sound your positions and stay within earshot," ordered the Viking Chief just as a worried Gobber approached him and he turned to a few Vikings keeping watch over Winter and Sarah. "Wake the girl up, whip her awake if you can!"

"Yes, Sir!" nodded a Viking, he and his partner leaving to grab a whip and a bucket of cold water.

"Listen, Stoick... Uh, I was just overhearing some of our men and women and... Well, you know, they might be wondering what it is we're up to here," Gobber explained. "N-Not-not me, of course. I-I know you're always the man with the plan here but some, not me, so you know, are wondering if there is even a plan we have at all... And, what it might be..."

"Find the nest and take it," Stoick replied simply.

"Ah, yes, of course. Send 'em running; the old Viking fallback, nice and simple."

"Shhh!"

The two Vikings looked towards Winter and listened carefully, seeing her ears twitching as the Red Death Queen's roar sounded off, her Mind Control coming into effect as she moved her head slightly left and right. This prompted Stoick to walk over to the rudder and take control.

"Gah! Ugh..." spluttered Sarah, being woken up after the Viking guards returned and one of them threw cold water on her.

"So, you're finally awake..." began Stoick, turning to her with his trademark glare. Sarah just angrily spat at him and tried to free herself from her binds, prompting the second Viking guard to lash the whip he got in his hand onto her right side, making her cry out in pain. Stoick scoffed arrogantly as he wiped off the spit on him and hardened his glare.

"Don't bother trying to escape, witch. You have no idea how much trouble you're in after you lied to us and revealed who you really are. The Dragon Wars will end right here, right now, but not in the way you and your devil's spawn want."

"...Are you happy?" growled Sarah lowly as she hung her head after a while, his seething glare at him forming. Stoick blinked in shock from her defiant response as she faced him, "What...?"

"I thought you could be trusted just as I trusted Hiccup, Astrid, and Zenna after everything we've been through together but you've proven to me that you and your people know nothing about true love, happiness, or friendship. You have me and Winter, why bother bringing us to the Dragon's Nest when you're about to send hundreds of your own fellow Vikings to their deaths? Are you proud of what you'll soon accomplish?"

"You and your devil are the ones who are gonna die once we're done with the nest!" Sarah snarled, her hatred for Stoick growing.

"Well, then you're lost!" she spat again, shocking Stoick yet again.

"TAKE CARE OF HER!" he screamed to the guards, prompting the whip guard to lash out at her again, slowly making her endure the pain as she cried out with each crack, much to Winter's growing pain and discomfort for her as she closed her eyes.

Henna and Edgar, tied up and held up in the brig for their "betrayal", heard what's happening and they could only get close to each other for a sense of comfort, hoping that Stoick would see sense soon.

With Hiccup, Zenna, Astrid, and Gothi, the former Viking underdogs reunited with Sarah's family, Solar, and Tsukumaro, and they were soon facing the Monstrous Nightmare's cage to finish what they started the day before. With Tsukumaro, Solar, and Sarah's entire family, they were sitting on the stands to watch if Hiccup will finally be able to tame and befriend the dragon that tried to kill him, Zenna, and the princess and killed off Elias after it was provoked twice. They knew it was still a huge leap forward to prove their theories and everything their new friend taught them but it had to be done if they were to save Sarah, Winter, and their people from being killed by the Red Death upon reaching the Dragon's Nest.

Gothi and Astrid decided that they had to give the two the extra help that they needed and they've managed to round up Fishlegs, Snotlout, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut (all of them having done a complete 180 on their opinions of Sarah prior and still trusting Hiccup and Zenna) as they gathered in the arena.

"If your plan is to get eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronckle," commented Fishlegs. "You were wise to seek help from the world's deadliest dragon," bragged Tuffnut, stepping up to Hiccup and Zenna. "That's me-OOF!"

"I love this plan!" cheered Snotlout as he shoved Tuffnut away, only to be shoved away in turn by an equally impressed Ruffnut.

"You're crazy... I love it," she smiled flirtatiously before she was shoved away by Astrid.

"So, what's the plan?" questioned Astrid. Hiccup and Zenna looked at each other, knowing that they'll need the help of all their friends and other dragons in order to end the Dragon Wars. They turned to Gothi, mentally asking her to watch over Berk until everyone returns home safely, to which she nodded warmly and allowed them to go down their own path. They expressed their gratitude for her and her kindness whenever they needed it with thankful nods and smiles before they started to address their fellow teens.

"Right, Eli and Sarah gave themselves up doing what we've done. But, our fellow Vikings are trying to stomp over the truth about the dragons and remain oblivious to the real threat that wanted us gone for her own gain from the start, the Red Death," Zenna began determinedly.

"Eli may have died but he's given us a ray of hope that we haven't acted upon until Sarah came into our lives. She risked everything, even her own life, to show us the way and end the pain the Red Death brought to us all. We were wrong about the dragons ever since the Dragon Wars started and if we're to have any hope that Vikings and dragons can live together in cooperation and harmony, we must take the first step into a better and brighter future. Even if there are still some people that'll be ruled by their fear and hatred for those wonderful creatures!"

Fishlegs nodded, feeling Zenna's determination flowing through him. "We're ready, Zenna, Sarah opened our hearts to the truth as well. So, now, it's time for us to return the favor by rescuing her and her captured dragon," he declared proudly, getting a nod from her.

"I only hope that some or all of us here will survive this and continue her and Eli's work. But, even if most of or all of us should die, our true Viking spirit-the bonds we share with our dragons, our best friends-that won't die. That spirit will go on forever, those who still believe that they're all monsters will never stomp that out!"

"Zenna, don't worry. We'll do our best to help you two," replied Astrid, her mind made up. "We're not afraid to die as long as we have each other and our soon-to-be new friends along with Sarah's family. And, today, we'll prove it to our people as we save Sarah and Winter and kill the Red Death."

"Great!" smiled Zenna happily. Sarah's family, despite the dragons' hatred for the Vikings, couldn't help but smile at the teens and their newfound determination. Perhaps, they and their soon-to-be friends will be Berk's future going forward.

At that moment, the white stone Blitz found in the woods on the night of his family's arrival started to glow after hearing Zenna's wish from inside Sarah's personal satchel. Sensing the stone's power from inside, the male Mouse Pokemon and Curly remembered the stone and they nodded, wanting to see what it actually was. They opened it up and the stone floated out before making its way towards the teens and Gothi, amazing everybody gathered in the arena as they watched before a voice came from it, directed to Hiccup and Zenna.

"What is your wish, your truth?" the stone inquired, prompting Hiccup to remember everything he, Zenna, and Sarah went through and what they wanted to do after meeting and befriending Toothless and Stryka.

Hiccup didn't know anything about the stone and neither did his friends and Sarah's entire family but he knew that they still need all the help they can get to finish off the Red Death and her tyranny. Taking a deep breath and steeling himself, he recalled his, Zenna, and Sarah's shared desire to bring peace to the former two's world and show everybody that the dragons are not really mindless animals but sentient beings - two beings under one sky, one larger family. Even if there are some people who are stubborn and would refuse to see the truth before them and even after Sarah should finally be allowed to return home, he and his best friend will forge the way to the future they now longed for thanks to her and Elias.

What's more, he should be mad at his own father for what he had done but he loved him too much to really feel any genuine hatred for him. Despite how badly he had treated and ignored him, Stoick was still his father and he owed his life to him since he still raised him when his mother disappeared.

"We want to end the Dragon Wars..." he told the stone before he looked at it and hardened his newfound resolve. "We want to save and protect everybody we love, humans and dragons alike, despite everything that happened!"

That was all the stone needed to hear and in a bright flash of fire and light, it revealed its true form as everyone shielded their eyes from the blast before they finally saw it. The white stone turned out to be a Pokemon but it wasn't any other ordinary Pokemon; it was one of the Legendary Pokemon from Unova but on a whole other level.

The Pokemon was a large, bipedal, and white dragon standing at 10'06" in height, having draconic, avian, and mammalian traits with its eyes having blue irises and black pupils. A long, voluminous, and wispy mane streamed out from the upper side of its snout and outwards from its head while the top of the main was adored with two protrusions resembling its ears that looked like they flowed on their own without any wind. And, to top it all off, its face is fringed with spiky features and sported a small, pointed extension below the chin with two pointed teeth in both of its jaws being visible when its mouth is open. Its long yet slender neck had a fluffy collar-like protrusion that jutted out of its two grey glass-like neckbands while its arms looked to be slender and arm-like before flaring out for more of a wing-like appearance. They sported four class resembling hands on the leading edge and there were plates on the back of its "hands" sporting a similar color to that of its neckbands.

The dragon-like Pokemon also sported a furry feature on its chest as the lower portion protruded outwards to a point while long feather-like protrusions also jutted out of its thighs. Its large feet had four large grey claws, three of them pointed at the front and one pointed at the back that resembled high heels. Finally, its tail, resembling a jet engine, is a large mass of plume and ribbon-like extensions being surrounded by two large bands similar to its neckbands. The Pokemon opened its eyes and gave a proud roar that could be heard for miles, leaving the Viking teens and everyone else awestruck by the large Pokemon that greeted them.

While Sarah's entire family was left at a loss for words at the Legendary Pokemon, the Swords of Justice, Tsukumaro, and Rotom-Dex were not as they gazed in stunned awe and fascination. They and their family all knew who the Pokemon before them really was.

"It's him, it's really him!" gasped Terrakion, stunned.

"The Dragon, the Dragon of Truth has returned!" added a shocked Virizion.

"The dragon that once belonged to one of the Two Princes of Unova many years ago," noted a thunderstruck Cobalion. "Reshiram...!" breathed Tsukumaro, taken aback.

"This, is... BIG! The white stone Blitz found is actually the Legendary Pokemon of the Unova Region's Tao Trio, Reshiram! I've got to take photos of this! But, first," said Rotom-Dex, quickly pulling out his Reshiram entry. "Reshiram, the Vast White Pokemon. A Dragon and Fire Type, according to legend, if people ignore truth and let themselves be consumed by greed, Reshiram will arrive to burn kingdoms down."

"A Legendary Pokemon, just like us!" gasped an equally shocked Keldeo as he stared at the Dragon of Truth. "I've heard about him; supposedly, after he and his counterpart, Zekrom, fought one another alongside their brothers and their sons, they subsequently disappeared after the four humans were forced to realize that between truth and ideals, no side of their family was right! But, I thought their stones had been lost to time since then!"

"Odin's Ghost!"

"Whoa!"

"Wicked!"

"Amazing!"

"What is that?!" cried Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut in utter shock while Hiccup and Zenna looked at Reshiram in silent amazement.

"It is your courage, your compassion, your love, your empathy for others, noble qualities you young ones shared with the princess, that shall become your truth," declared Reshiram as he looked to the Viking teens, specifically Hiccup and Zenna, as they gasped and nodded. They knew they have their truth before them and now, it is time for them to fight.

Meanwhile, as they drew closer to the Dragon's Nest, the Vikings have arrived at Heliem's Gate as they sailed through the fog bank. Sarah was still in pain after the whip lashings she received but she stayed away and held firm, doing her best to endure the pain despite knowing what it meant for her and Winter. She didn't care what happened to her as long as she didn't want anything to do with Stoick and his people and as long as Winter was left untouched by anybody for her own safety.

They soon passed a nearby Viking ship that was unfortunate enough to be trapped in the sea stacks. "Oh... Heh, I was wondering where that baby went," Gobber joked as they continued to sail.

Then, a sound was heard as they soon ran aground on the shoreline and then a majority prepared to disembark with their weapons at hand while the others remained to man their ships' catapults. They finally arrived at the Dragon's Nest and it was time for them to fight the dragons themselves or chase them away.

"Stay low and ready your weapons," ordered Stoick to his people before he looked to the guards overseeing Winter and Sarah. "And, make sure they don't try anything funny or it's off with their heads."

The Viking guards nodded as they continued to watch their prisoners while the chief and Gobber looked at the cliff before them and saw the tail of a wild Monstrous Nightmare before it disappeared, the nest's large mountain looming eerily over the ships.

"We're here," Stoick announced as he disembarked but silencing the noise as he landed on the rocky beach, leaving him confused while he looked around cautiously.

Returning to Berk, it was time for Hiccup and Zenna to give their fellow teens a crash course on befriending a dragon as they unlocked the cage belonging to the Monstrous Nightmare while Stryka and Toothless stood close to them to protect them again. They slowly and carefully backed off as the Monstrous Nightmare reappeared and soon started to advance on them for a second time.

But, this time, without any means to agitate the dragon before and knowing that they're on their own with only the people, dragons, and Pokemon they trust with them, the former Viking underdogs held their hands in front of his snout. After he had been humbled by their Night Fury couple, Winter, and Shadow the day prior, the male Monstrous Nightmare was finally able to trust them and they slowly led him to the center of the arena to the amazement of their Viking friends.

Snotlout, however, started to get nervous as his fear of the Monstrous Nightmare threatened to overtake him. He tried to go for the broken end of a spear that had been left from the damage done before but Astrid stopped him and shook her head, mentally telling him to trust Hiccup and Zenna and gently had him drop it.

The two of them came close with the Nightmare trailing behind them and once he knew they were ready, with Zenna keeping close to the once-agitated dragon, Hiccup grabbed Snotlout's shaking hand and gently pulled him over.

"W-Wha, H-Hiccup? Wait!" he cried, pulling his hand back in a panic. "What are you-?!"

"It's okay, trust me," smiled Hiccup reassuringly as he gently grabbed his hand again and pulled him closer to the Nightmare. "Listen with your heart and let him come to you, you'll understand."

Soon, Snotlout's hand replaced Hiccup's as he came face to face with the Monstrous Nightmare and it hovered over his snout. Eventually, after what seemed like an eternity, the Monstrous Nightmare then purred as he pressed his snout towards his hand with a trusting smile, making Snotlout grin and laugh from the dragon nuzzling him. This garnered amazed and hopeful smiles from the other teens as they were able to take the first real step towards Berk's true future.

Satisfied with what he had seen, Hiccup walked away to grab some rope as the others turned to the Nadder, Zippleback, and Gronckle all coming out of their own cages.

"You're gonna need something to help you hold on," he said.

"We did it, Gothi," smiled Zenna to Gothi, seeing what her and Hiccup's Viking friends are doing as they followed Snotlout's example.

Gothi smiled as she drew on the ground in front of her while Zenna watched beside her. To her, she didn't need a translation for she immediately understood what Gothi's saying to her.

Through her actions, Gothi told her, 'It's not too late, child! Let the spirit of your brother, the love and compassion and Hiccup share with your dragons and your friends, and Princess Sarah's hope guide you! You know your path, child! Now, follow it!'

Zenna gave a determined nod as she looked towards Stryka, the female Night Fury looking at her and nodding in agreement with her mutual determination. Nothing else needed to be said; it was finally time for them and everybody else on their and Hiccup and Toothless' team to take the fight to the Red Death, rescue Sarah and Winter, and end the Dragon Wars her way, once and for all.

Back at the Dragon's Nest, some of the Vikings carefully placed wooden stakes on the ground as they built their land catapults for the dragons and their refuge. The others gathered around Stoick as he drew along the sand, detailing what their plan of attack would be.

"Now, this is the general area of the Dragon's Nest. The mountain over there behind us is where they are known to be living in and plundering their kills from us," he explained, going through the map and their finalized plan before they looked to the mountain that continued to loom over them. "When we crack open this mountain, all hell is going to break loose."

"And, my undies. Good thing I brought extras," remarked Gobber.

"This is it, our final battle is upon us. No matter what happens, it all ends today."

The Vikings nodded as they soon got into position for their plan to begin. Then, on his signal, the catapults were launched as they sent boulders (smoldering and normal) flying through the air before they hit the mountain, creating a large hole in it.

Some of the Vikings cheered for what looked to be a successful first step in their plan. Stoick, meanwhile, went into the mountain first, hearing the dragons' low growls as he entered and searched for any sight of them. Another flaming boulder (after being soaked with resin and set alight) was then shot on sight towards the entrance, hovering over him and flying into the mountain, showing the dragons around the hole from all sides.

With a war cry, Stoick charged in first as he swung his ax but to his surprise and bewilderment and those of the other Vikings as they began to fight, they all stopped as the dragons fled away from the mountain in all directions and roared frantically.

To Winter and Sarah, as they watched the dragons flee, they swore they heard things from the dragons that were riddled with fear and panic such as...

"LOOK OUT!"

"RUN AWAY!"

"Get away from here!"

"Save yourselves!"

"Go, go, go!"

"It's too dangerous!"

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

"She's coming!"

"RUN! RUN!"

"THE RED DEATH IS COMING, THE RED DEATH IS COMING!"

Sarah gasped in horror as she remembered the Red Death that nearly tried to kill her, her dragons, Wvyeon, Astrid, Hiccup, Zenna, Rotom-Dex, and the Night Fury couple the previous day. Winter, in particular, whimpered and lowered her ears with great fear, also know what was about to come next for everybody including them, Henna, and Edgar.

"Is that it?" blinked Stoick before he shrugged and walked back.

"They're gone... WE'VE DONE IT!" cheered Gobber as the other Vikings cheered louder from their "success".

But, Stoick felt that something was off as he made his way back, stopping as he saw the ship Sarah and Winter were on. The princess was looking at the hole in the mountain with growing dread and Winter tried to back away while she growled, unable to move due to her restraints keeping her down. He soon realized that they weren't out of danger yet.

"Stop! Stop cheering, it's not over yet!" he bellowed, stopping the cheers as he turned and face the mountain's interior to battle what's coming for them. "Form your ranks, hold together! We're not out of the woods yet! Battle stations, now!"

Whatever was coming out of the mountain, the Vikings now knew that it was bad and things were only about to get worse despite their hopes that it wouldn't. That was wishful thinking on their part as the ground shook and the Vikings were barely able to maintain their balance before a loud and furious roar echoed all around them, sending frightening chills down their spine.

From their prison, Henna and Edgar heard the roar as well and their blood went cold as if they recognized where it came from and what made it. "Honey, you don't think...?" Henna dreaded, not wanting to know what dragon made the roar.

A frightened Edgar looked towards his wife after looking out from one of the portholes and nodded gravely as he gave a hollow, "The Red Death..."

With Sarah, while everyone else heard the roar, to her and Winter, it sounded more like, "WHO DARES TO ENTER THE MOUNTAIN OF ME, THE RED DEATH?!"

"Get clear!" shouted Stoick again, urging everybody with him to back off as they screamed and began to scramble away from the mountain.

Before long, a familiar and furious Alpha Dragon came into view. It was the Red Death Queen, roaring furiously at the Viking intruders that dared to trespass upon her sacred ground. Large boulders and rocks came crashing down as she broke through and some of the debris ended up claiming a few lives that were unfortunate enough to not make out of the way and ended up being crushed.

The Red Death towered over the Vikings like they were nothing but measly ants or termites as they all fled in fear.

"Beard of Thor...! What is that?!" Gobber gasped, seeing the Red Death coming out and preparing to attack her land's intruders.

"Odin, help us," prayed Stoick quietly with widened, horrified eyes.

There she was, the current Queen of Dragons as she roared in utter unparalleled fury as she began to lay waste to any and all attempts to kill her after trespassing on her domain. Stoick was left in horror as he watched some of his people pay the ultimate price for their foolishness with their lives either by being eaten alive, crushed underneath her feet, or blasted into oblivion/burned alive in a single blast as they screamed. He was now beginning to realize (despite being too little too late to learn from his and his people's mistakes) that they were all in way over their heads with their current plan of action to kill the dragons.

"Catapults, FIRE!" he bellowed to the catapult Vikings, trying to hide his fear.

The catapult Vikings fired smoldering and regular boulders at the Red Death to try and make a dent on her but they proved to be ineffective on the giant dragon as she snarled in dark amusement before she unleashed her fury once again.

"YOU MEDDLESOME FLEAS!" she roared, destroying one catapult in her mouth as she bit into and crunched it before crushing the other ones at close range with her paws.

This was more than enough to send all the surviving Vikings into a panic as their vibrato was dwarfed by the Red Death's merciless onslaught. "Get to the ships, NOW!" screamed a Viking, prompting the others to agree and make a run for their ships to escape.

"No, NO!" protested Stoick.

But, it was too late; the Red Death was not going to let the Vikings go off the hook for their trespassing, breathing out her methane fire to set all the ships on fire as well and leave them with no chance of escape. This included Winter, Sarah, Henna, and Edgar as they struggled to free themselves from their restraints before they would ever have a chance to escape.

"Smart that one," murmured Gobber, terrified.

"What have I done? I was a fool..." Stoick groaned in self-loathing before turning to Spitelout. "Brother, lead everybody to the far side of the island!"

Spitelout nodded, knowing his responsibility as he began to evacuate the survivors as far away from the Red Death as possible (without, unfortunately, going back to free their prisoners in their terrified haste to get away). This left Stoick to face the Red Death alone as he charged towards it when he noticed Gobber following him.

"Gobber, you too. Go with them," he urged as he turned to his best friend.

"No can do, Stoick. I'd rather stay here in case you're thinking of doing something crazy," Gobber insisted with a knowing smile.

Stoick had to smile back; just as Zenna had with Hiccup, Gobber knew him all too well and he was grateful for that as they made a vow to each other.

"I can buy them a few minutes if I can give that monster something to hunt for," he stated, coming up with a Plan B for everyone's escape.

"Then, I can double that time!" Gobber replied determinedly, grasping his arm and nodding.

With their mutual agreement in place, the two friends rushed the Red Death, trying to pull off a two-man assault just so to allow their fellow Vikings and Spitelout more time to escape from her wrath. They came at the giant dragon from both sides as they ran to get her to turn their attention to either of them so her focus can be on them only.

"Hey, wench! I'm over here!" barked Stoick from her right.

"Forget him, I'm tastier for you!" shouted Gobber from the left.

"Here!"

"Here!"

"No, here!"

"This way!"

"Right here!"

"Come on, bite me!" they taunted.

While they give her a hard time, as Gobber ran, Stoick quickly grabbed one of the wooden stakes that weren't destroyed by the monstrous dragon before he threw it but it almost hit her in the eye despite his best throw.

"Over here, fatso!" taunted Gobber again as he ran to the right.

"No, here! Take me!" mocked Stoick as he ran to the left.

The Red Death roared at them and prepared to take them both down but before she could make a move, she was soon hit on the head by a powerful blast of fire.

Everyone running away turned back and they, Stoick, and Gobber looked on in surprise to see the Red Death roaring in pain from being bit by the powerful fireball until they heard another roar. They looked up to the sky and there, emerging from the clouds, was Reshiram, Sarah's Pokemon and dragon family, and the Viking teens with Toothless, Stryka, Shadow, and Wvyeon leading the way. They were also shocked to see the five dragons they once had in captivity for Dragon Training with them and their chosen riders:

- Hiccup and Zenna were once again riding on Toothless and Stryka

- Fishlegs rode on his female Gronckle, Meatlug, as he carried a shield and hammer

- Snotlout was having a swinging time with Hookfang, his Monstrous Nightmare, as he also carried a shield and hammer

- Ruffnut and Tuffnut (appropriately) shared the Hideous Zippleback, Barf and Belch, with Ruffnut riding on Barf's head and Tuffnut on Belch's respectively.

- Astrid was taking to the skies with grace along with her Deadly Naddler, Stormfly.

- Tsukumaro rode aboard Reshiram's back with Solar (in Hovercylce Mode again) flying from their right and Rotom-Dex on their left.

- Nebby carried Blitz and the other younger Pokemon along with the Unova Starters while Zorro flew aboard Kaji

- Nebula carried Zorua and Zeraora across her back as they held on tightly to her

- Inferno easily carried Umbreon and his daughters

- Star and Candy flew with Latios and Latias while Dawn (Midday Lycanroc), Luna, and Dusk rode on Braviary, Talonflame, and Noctowl respectively.

- And, finally, with Wvyeon flying with them, Danny, Danielle, and Cresselia once again had the daunting task of carrying the Legendary Beasts, Calyrex and his sons, Mudsdale, Boltund, Delcatty, Goodra, Silvally, Lolita, Persian, Mischief, Cinderace, Arcanine, Tundra, Seviper, Haxorus, Sawsbuck, Kommo-o, Nitro, Sonic, Totem Luxray, Kion and Kiara along with their pride, and Doug and Delilah's Special Ops Squad alongside them using Psychic.

"Ruff, Tuff, watch your backs!" Hiccup called, making sure their attack on the Red Death can ensure them all not dying. "Move, Fishlegs!"

"Hey! Check it out, are you seeing this?" Tuffnut yelled to everybody down below excitedly. "Look at us, we're on dragons! All of us!"

The Vikings and Stoick watched in stunned amazement at the sight before him; not only are Hiccup and Zenna riding on Toothless and Stryka out in the open and joining forces with Sarah's family but their friends are riding on the five dragons from the arena. This was also compounded by the sight of the Dragon of Truth from the World of Pokemon as Reshiram eyed the Red Death and prepared to do battle with her as he roared aggressively, challenging her to a fight with everyone in his party coming at her. The other dragons (clad in their upgraded Beast-X Dragon Armor) followed his example as they daringly roared at the Red Death.

"Come on, let's move!" called Hiccup again, everybody circling around to get closer to the Red Death.

"Every bit of the wild boar-headed stubborn Viking you ever were," chuckled Gobber, never thinking he'd see something like Hiccup and the man he is until now.

Stoick could only nod in agreement as he gave a relieved and proud fatherly smile; he was now willing to take back everything he said to him from their last exchange including his disowning of his own son.

"Moment of truth, everybody! It's on us, either we destroy the Red Death and ensure the future for Vikings and dragons alike or we all die! Fishlegs, Tsukumaro, break it down! What have you got?"

"Okay, heavily armored skull and tail made for bashing and crushing. Steer clear of both," Fishlegs began, examining the Red Death while she destroyed a small boat down below. "Small eyes, large nostrils, relies on hearing and smell."

"One more thing, exercise caution on account of her eyes," added Tsukumaro, noticing the Red Death's eyes. "Our dragons need to be out of range so they don't end up being hypnotized."

Hiccup nodded as he quickly formed a plan for them to deal with the Red Death and turned to each group he assigned to give them their tasks, "Right. Lout, Legs, check if she has a blind spot on her! Make some noise and keep her of us! Cresselia, you along with most of Sarah's Pokemon keep her from using Mind Control on us and her other dragons on ground level, the rest that can fly will do the same from above with most of her dragons giving you a hand! Ruff, Tuff, try and figure out what her shot limit is, make her mad!"

"Right!/Right/Right!" everybody in Sarah's family nodded.

"No problem, making others mad is my specialty," Tuffnut grinned.

"Oh yeah, since when? Everyone knows I'm the most irritating, see?" Tuffnut rebuked, turning upside down on Belch's head and making stupid noise.

"Just do as I told you," Hiccup told the twins, annoyed before he regained his determined glare. "Astrid, Stormfly, Shadow, Hydro, Hurricane, and the Night Lights are coming with me, Toothless, Stryka, and Zenna! We'll be back as soon as we find Sarah and Winter!"

With that, Hiccup, Astrid, Zenna, and their dragons nodded as they flew down to the wrecked ships to find Sarah and Winter along with Henna and Edgar, Shadow, the Night Lights, Hydro, and Hurricane following close behind.

"Don't worry, we got it covered!" assured Snotlout as the rest flew over to the Red Death.

"Let's go, Reshiram! AWAY!" shouted Tsukumaro, he and Reshiram along with Solar and Rotom-Dex quickly following suit.

"We've got our work cut out for us this time, Tsukumaro!" called Solar as they and the rest of their giant party oversaw the Red Death and began to distract her.

"I know but it's the only way we can ensure that we get my goddaughter and Winter back and stop this beast!" nodded Tsukumaro.

"*I'll lend you my power whenever you need it, friends,*" offered Reshiram, he and his power at the ready.

"Anything's worth a try and we're grateful for it, big guy!" said a thankful Rotom-Dex.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Heroes, HO!"

"Bring us the Red Death!" bellowed Totem Luxray, Zarude, and Calyrex, everyone in their group letting out powerful war cries as they charged towards the Red Death and proceeded to do their parts in Hiccup's plan.

Tuffnut and Ruffnut and Barf and Belch went first as they flew in front of the Red Death's face to make it mad and see if she has a shot limit when she gets mad enough to attack them.

"Troll!"

"Butt-Elf!"

"Bride of Grendel!" the twins taunted as they grinned and laughed at the Alpha Dragon, forcing the Red Death to breath fire in their direction which Barf and Belch were lucky enough to avoid.

As the twins and their Zippleback began their assault, Danny, Danielle, and Cresselia were able to move half of their family with Fishlegs and Meatlug over to the giant dragon's left while Snotlout and Hookfang kept the rest of them on the right, all of them preparing to see if there are any blind spots on the Red Death and to keep it from using her Mind Control. Reshiram, Tsukumaro, Solar, and Rotom-Dex hovered in front of the dragon in the middle as they prepared to lend their strength as well.

"Now, my boys! Attack!" shouted Calyrex, he and his sons making the first move against the Red Death.

Upon their father's command, Spectrier and Glastrier began by launching Shadow Ball and Blizzard at full power with Totem Marowak following through as he threw his Bone with Bommerang, his prized possession managing to hit one of her eyes as she cried out in pain.

"Come on, blast him!" shouted Kaji as he, Kion, Kiara, and their pride (sans the Litleo Triplets) shot a combined Flamethrower assault while Totem Luxray, Sawsbuck, and Haxorus went at the Red Death with Thunderbolt, Energy Ball, and Focus Blast.

"Take this!"

"Here you go!"

"Taste my dirty Electro Ball bubble, Willie!" screamed Snowy, Ponyta, and Wooloo, shooting Powder Snow, Moonblast, & Electro Ball, the latter two converging their attacks.

Their attacks landed as Cufant, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Tyrunt, and Amaura added to the assault using a combined Rock Tomb and Ancient Power while Cinderace shot a hefty Pyro Ball.

As for Zeraora, the Swords of Justice, Persian, Blossom, Sokka, Kurma, Kommo-o, and Zorro, they took their positions and prepared to fire their own attacks in an ongoing barrage of Mythical, Legendary, and Psudeo-Legendary Pokemon strength.

"Ready, aim...BOO-YAH!" bellowed Zeraora, signaling his group to use Focus Blast, Power Gem, Solarbeam, Water Pulse, Rock Slide, and Dragon Pulse.

The adult dragons belonging to the princess with them also aided in the assault as they fired barrage after barrage of their own attacks and/or clawed the Alpha Dragon whenever they managed to get close to her face, all while taunting her as well. The younger dragons, meanwhile, joined forces with the younger Pokemon as they proceeded to help the Vikings with finding any untouched ships or nearby shelter for them to hide in until the battle's over.

As Sarah's family unleashed their fury along with helping their surviving people and the Red Death became more agitated and angry as they continued their assault, Fishlegs and Snotlout with Meatlug and Hookfang took an opportunity to fly up to both sides of her face and banged their hammers with their shields to add to the noise. However, finding her blind spots proved to be a challenge in itself because when she finally opened four extra eyes and saw them...

"...Legs, find anything?" started Snotlout.

"Uh, no... This thing doesn't have any blind spots!" replied Fishlegs, getting worried.

Wvyeon heard what the two of them were saying as he attacked with his own barrage of attacks but then, with his great dragon hearing, he began to hear what sounded like Sarah and Winter as he turned to the ships and saw Hiccup, Astrid, Zenna, and their dragon party desperately searching for them. Nodding before flying towards them, he knew what he must do.

The boats that fell victim to the Red Death's flames burned as the three Viking teens and their party searched from above them, flying past the wreckage to find and rescue Sarah and Winter before they feared the worst as the battle heated up at the mountain.

"Sarah!" called Hiccup.

"Snowy White!" roared Shadow as he frantically looked around.

"Oh, we'll never find them in time before Tall, Sharp, and Terrifying eventually picks us out!" shouted Hydro, seeing what's going on at the island.

"We just got to keep looking!" encouraged Hurricane. "They need us now!"

"Mommy!" cried Dart, also looking around with her brothers.

"Auntie!" screamed Ruffrunner and Pouncer as loudly as they could, all of them still flying over the wreckage before...

"Children!" shouted a familiar voice a short distance away from their current location. "Children, honey, are you there?!"

"Snowy White! Where are you?" roared Shadow again, feeling relieved but still worried after hearing his mate's voice while he looked around again.

"Hiccup, Astrid, Zenna!" cried another voice which sent everyone's hearts racing as they recognized it as well.

"Sarah! Sarah, where are you?!" bellowed Hiccup, looking around below them.

"Hiccup! I'm over here, Winter, too!"

"Hey, guys!" called Wvyeon as he approached them.

"Wvyeon, what are you doing here?" quizzed a surprised Dart.

"I heard your human and your mom calling for help while the others and I were fighting the Red Death. I've scouted out for them and found them on one of the ships, the ship burning closest to the shoreline! And, guess what, there are a few more people with them."

"More people?" inquired a confused Stryka.

"Where is it?" demanded Shadow.

"Follow me, quickly!"

With Wvyeon leading the way, the party followed after him to where he has seen the ship holding Sarah and Winter as well as the other humans he mentioned, continuing to pray that they're still on time.

"There!" shouted Hiccup again, pointing towards Winter and Sarah on the cross behind her on Stoick's ship.

They all flew down with Wyveon leading them again to the burning boat and when they were close enough, Hiccup and Zenna jumped off of Toothless and Stryka onto it before Hiccup turned to Astrid and the Dragon Scale Pokemon while the others went ahead to get a headstart on breaking their friends/mother/mate's binds.

"Go help the others!" he told them, the two of them nodding before they and Stormfly returned to the battle with the Red Death.

Once they and the other dragons were alone, the former underdogs, Shadow, Hydro, and Hurricane quickly went to work on the chains and locks that held Winter and Sarah in place as they struggled to break free.

"You guys okay?" asked Zenna, trying to break the chains holding Sarah to the cross with Stryka's help.

"I don't know how you guys got here but I'm not complaining, thanks," coughed Sarah, the fire burning around and trying to resist the smoke.

"Hold on, Winter, hold on!" reassured Hiccup as he, Shadow, and the Tidal Class dragons broke off the muzzle and restraints off of Winter.

Then, he and Zenna each find a metal pole, and soon, they along with Shadow, Stryka, Toothless, Hydro, and Hurricane tried to break the chains holding them down with the poles they found but they were running out of time as the boat continued to burn.

While their father and their friends were trying to free their mother and human aunt, the Night Lights saw a hatch and more coughing sounds from below deck. As fast as they could, the three hatchlings fluttered to the hatch door before Ruffrunner bit the latch and pulled it open and inside, there were Zenna's parents as they looked towards their rescuers in relief. Dart and her brothers gasped in surprise and shock to see them as they were before they fluttered down to them and chewed on their ropes, freeing the Fiersome couple as they went out to help free Winter and Sarah.

"Mom, Dad!" gasped Zenna as she saw them.

"Zenna!" Henna and Edgar exclaimed as they joined her, Hiccup, and the other dragons with them to free the princess.

"I thought you-!"

"You can thank Stoick for imprisoning us after we vouched for your friends," replied Edgar.

"We're gonna help you get them out of here," added Henna, all of them finding a few more rods before they continued to break the chains.

"Thought we'd just drop in with some reinforcements, Auntie!" replied Dart, fluttering at face-level towards Sarah.

"Fine, now break these chains, Dart! Quick, the Red Death will be ready to get the drop on us and attack as we speak!" Sarah relented as everyone continued to try and break their chains.

Back with Fishlegs, Snotlout, and their parties, they continued their brawl with the Red Death with the two Viking teens continuing to make noise and Sarah's Pokemon and dragons with them continuing their relentless assault. It was hard and tedious work but they knew they had to keep going so that the vicious dragon won't have an opportunity to use her Mind Control.

"It's working!"

"Yeah, we're doing it!" they cried happily as they saw the Red Death getting more and more agitated.

Unfortunately, their part of Hiccup's plan had an unexpected double-edged effect; as they continued to make more noise with their hammers and shields, the banging and clanging also started to make Hookfang and Meatlug feel very uncomfortable with Hookfang accidentally throwing off his rider and he ended up landing on the Red Death's head, losing his hammer and shield in the process.

Meatlug couldn't handle the noise as she shook her head to clear the noise, making poor Fishlegs dizzy as she did so. "Whoa! Oh man, I forgot, I'm losing power on my Gronckle! Snotlout, hurry, do something! Whoa!" he cried, immediately throwing his hammer to Snotlout before they started falling and he then landed on his stomach.

"I'm okay!" he called before Meatlug fell on him. "...or not."

Seeing the two with her extra eyes, the Red Death started to move one of her front paws towards them, looking ready to crush what she saw as more mere insects compared to her. But, she hissed in pain as Cobalion and Terrakion fired Flash Cannon and Hyper Beam at her third eye while Suicune, Entei, and Raikou shot Aurora Beam, Fire Spin, and Discharge at her second eye, leaving Snotlout enough time to smack Fishlegs' hammer into the others.

"Okay, I can't miss this! I can't miss, I can't possibly miss!" he vowed, hammering at the Red Death's first and fourth extra eyes, giving her more pain than ever.

"RRRRAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!" the Red Death bellowed painfully, the sight of Snotlout hammering away at her eyes with the Pokemon's help leaving her impressed.

"Yeah, Snotlout! You're the Viking!" she cheered, making Snotlout grin after he heard her.

But, the Red Death had enough of his meddling as she was able to throw him into the air but luckily, he managed to grab one of her scales in time and prevented himself from having to fall all the way down to his death. This left everyone in a real pickle with Meatlug, Hookfang, Fishlegs, and Snotlout compromised and the Red Death pulling no punches with what she's doing to make them stop and continue to annihilate any and everything in her path. But, Sarah's Pokemon and dragons were not making it easy for her as they continued their assaults on her, not letting up with some of them trying their best to give Snotlout a hand when they saw him in trouble.

With Hiccup, Zenna, and their party, they were still trying to free Sarah and Winter from their binds but the Red Death finally caught sight of them and she smashed the boat to pieces, making the captured princess and Light Fury fall into the water as the others were thrown back.

"Mommy!" cried Pouncer and Dart.

"Auntie, no!" screamed a panicked Ruffrunner, prompting Shadow, Hydro, Hurricane, Hiccup, Zenna, Edgar, Henna, and Hurricane to dive after them.

They quickly swam after the sinking pair as their restraints sunk them deeper into the sea and grabbed their chains, trying to free them before they would reach the bottom and drown. Unfortunately, Zenna, her parents, and Hiccup weren't Tidal Class dragons so they couldn't stay underwater for long periods of time and they quickly started to lose consciousness until they were grabbed by two pairs of hands and brought back to the surface.

The four humans coughed water out of their lungs before their visions cleared and they found themselves face to face with Gobber and Stoick, the former having rescued Edgar and Henna and the latter Hiccup and Zenna.

"...Dad?"

"...Gobber?" breathed Hiccup and Edgar, they, Zenna, and Henna looking at them in surprise.

The Viking Chief and the younger Vikings' teacher quickly dove back and they swam towards Sarah and the dragons, Toothless, Shadow, Hurricane, Hydro, and Stryka still trying their hardest to free the princess and Winter. But, it proved to be tedious for them due to how sturdy they held as well as Hydro not having any claws and Hurricane's claws being unable to break them.

The surprised former prisoners looked at the two Vikings for a few seconds before Stoick removed the Winter's collar and chains and Gobber removed Sarah's restraints. The moment they were freed, Winter grabbed Stoick while Hydro and Hurricane took Gobber and Toothless up to the surface, bursting out of the water soaking wet but alive.

The five adult dragons heard the battle going on in front of them as their family and the others continued to take on the Red Death despite themselves struggling in the process as she fought back with Solar and Reshiram stepping in with their Fire Type attacks and fireballs if needed. Realizing that they needed to give them a hand, Sarah quickly mounted on Winter while Toothless and Stryka roared to their riders to get on them.

"You got it!" Hiccup nodded as he and Zenna quickly got back on their Night Furies.

"Zenna, I'm taking your parents to the other Vikings! Be careful!" replied Gobber to Zenna, leading Edgar and Henna to safety and the Night Furies tagged along to keep them safe.

"Good luck!" she called as they left and the four prepared to take off.

"Hiccup, Zenna!" Stoick shouted, rushing towards them before he then uttered, "I'm sorry, for everything..."

"Yeah, me too," Hiccup sighed knowingly as Zenna gave him a knowing nod.

"I shouldn't have been so blind to the truth; your friend was right, I was wrong... About everything... You two don't have to go up there, you know."

"We're Vikings."

"It's an occupational hazard," they joked.

Stoick smiled, knowing that to be true. "I'm proud to call you my son and to have you and your family as part of our tribe..."

"Thanks, Dad/Stoick," the former underdogs smiled.

With their final words to Stoick, Hiccup and Zenna left with Toothless and Stryka to finish their struggle against the Red Death before being followed by Sarah, Winter, Shadow, Hydro, and Hurricane. Seeing the three friends and Winter back together with Shadow, Hydro, and Hurricane along with them, Astrid knew they now have a Hail Mary that can help them turn the tide of the battle in their favor.

"They got 'em!" she called to Ruffnut and Tuffnut as they, Stormfly, and Barf and Belch flew towards the Red Death and focused on Snotlout. "You two, get Snotlout out of there!"

"We're on it!" they saluted.

But, as they got to work on rescuing Snotlout, the twins began to bicker again as they got closer. Snotlout, seeing them, Barf, and Belch flying closer to them, quickly ran up the Red Death's horns before he jumped up and got caught between Barf and Belch's necks.

"Wow, can't believe that worked," remarked Tuffnut in surprise.

With Snotlout safely back with them, they began to fly away from the Alpha Dragon but Stormfly and Astrid soon found themselves caught by the Red Death as she began to suck in air and pulled them closer to her.

She was going to eat them and unless something can be done, they could be goners by the time she finished her meal with them. Sarah's other dragons (after Hydro and Hurricane managed to reunite with them) continued to duke it out with the monster along with their Pokemon brothers/sisters/cousins/friends but because they were occupied with trying to keep her Mind Control out of the picture, Astrid and Stormfly were on their own to fend for themselves as best they can. Everyone on the ground looked on with growing horror and worry but they heard a series of loud noises and saw Winter, Shadow, Toothless, and Stryka all divebombing towards the Red Death.

"Night Furies incoming!" cried a Viking.

"Get down!" ordered Gobber as they took cover, raising their shields.

The three Night Furies and Light Fury soon fired plasma blasts at the Red Death's mouth, creating a powerful explosion that saved Astrid and Stormfly but sent the former flying off her Deadly Nadder. Astrid screamed as she fell but in the nick of time, Toothless sped over to her and successfully grabbed her before they could lose her.

"Did we get her...?" asked Hiccup, Toothless nodding as he showed Astrid safely in his claws.

She smiled with great relief, allowing Toothless to return a gummy smile to her. And, her relief intensified as she saw Stryka, Winter, and Shadow having saved Stormfly after she was sent flying out of reach from the Alpha Dragon with Zenna and Sarah giving relieved nods to the older Viking girl. They quickly placed Astrid and her dragon safely on the ground and looked at her as she and Stormfly gratefully looked at them before they joined Reshiram, Tsukumaro, Wyveon, and the princess' family.

"Go," she whispered, smiling as Stormfly nuzzled her and she rubbed her head.

Now, with Fishlegs, Astrid, the twins, Snotlout, and their dragons having managed to pull out safely, this left Sarah, her family, her friends, and Reshiram as the last ones standing against the Red Death.

"Tsukumaro, you mind running me through on Reshiram?" asked Sarah, wanting to know how he came to life from his stone form after seeing the Vast White Pokemon he's riding on.

"Long story short, your friends managed to show him your truth the qualities you shared with them, and you kids have earned the right to use his power," replied the old advisor, deciding to fill in the details for her later.

"Alright! You just might be the miracle we needed!" cried Sarah, seeing the odds in the heroes' favor, making Reshiram turn to her warmly.

"*I'm ready when you need me, Princess,*" he bowed politely.

"So, aside from what you all managed to do, Hiccup, what's the plan now?" the princess asked Hiccup.

"Well, last I checked when we made our last pass above her, that thing has wings on her," he told her as he looked down at the Red Death, getting to the next stage of his plan. "Follow our lead, let's see if we can use them!"

Soon, he, Zenna, Toothless, and Stryka turned around and ascended to the clouds with Tsukumaro, Sarah, Reshiram, Winter, and Shadow following from behind.

"We better sit this one out, Rotom," replied Solar. "It's up to them and Sarah, now."

"You're right, it'll be too dangerous for us to stick around now that we've done our part. Come on!" nodded Rotom-Dex, flying back down to meet with the survivors and the rest of Sarah's family.

From out of the clouds, once they were back on ground level with everybody else, the three Night Furies and Light Fury divebombed towards the monstrous dragon again while Reshiram and Tsukumaro held back in the mists. The idea that Hiccup came up with was to get the Red Death flying towards them and focus her attention on them and them alone and then, taking into account the methane fuel she needed for her fire blasts, fire directly at her mouth that'll cause internal combustion which would tear her apart inside out.

"THIS ENDS NOW, RED DEATH!" Sarah bellowed, summoning her Dragon Armor Morpher and Dragon-X Key. "Now, Shadow, Winter! Dragon Armor Morpher, Engage! Activate Night Light Armor!"

Inserting her new key into her new morpher and activating a new power for her Striker Class dragons, the secondary spines on Winter's primary spine and Shadow's back (the spines on his back extending from his back to the tip of his tail), the ridge between their eyes, and the interior of their mouths and noses glowed a translucent blue. This was their shared Alpha Dominance ability, increasing their power, speed, agility, defense, and other abilities for as long as their new Night Light Armor is activated until Sarah dismisses it.

With Winter and Shadow ready, they, Toothless, and Stryka shot several plasma blasts at the Red Death, knocking her to the ground as the four dragons, Zenna, Hiccup, and Sarah returned to the clouds.

"Did that do it?" asked Zenna, wanting to see what's happening.

Everyone watched as the now explosively aggressive Red Death started to spread her wings as she eyed the four dragons that attacked her. "TRAITORS! COME ON, NOT AGAIN! DAMN IT ALL! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MADE OF?!" she screamed before she took off and chased after her seven attackers, now focused solely on killing them.

"Does that answer your question?" quipped Hiccup.

The four Striker dragons flew away again, flying in and out of the nearby sea stacks while the Red Death Queen barreled straight through them, her great size destroying them in her crazed pursuit to kill her attackers. The Vikings and everybody else from down below cheered on for the group, their newfound hope kindled and growing strong, wanting them to kill the dangerous dragon.

The chase continued for several minutes until the three friends looked up at the clouds and nodded, getting another idea and knowing that it's time for Tsukumaro and Reshiram to give them a hand.

"Okay, Toothless, time to disappear! Come on, bud!"

"Up, up, and away, Stryka!"

"It's time, Winter, Shadow! Climb!" the three bellowed quickly.

Everyone continued to watch as Winter, Shadow, Stryka, and Toothless along with Sarah, Zenna, and Hiccup climbed higher into the sky with the Red Death following close behind them until they disappeared. The angry Dragon Queen prepared to shoot another blast of methane fire to burn them alive but she was stopped by a Blue Flare attack shot by Reshiram (in his Overdrive Mode), he and Tsukumaro appearing from the mist as they glared at the Red Death.

"YOU! WHERE ARE YOUR CUTE LITTLE TOY SOLDIERS, WHITEY?!" roared the Red Death at the Legendary Pokemon. "YOU'RE STANDING BETWEEN ME AND THE ONLY ONES THREATENING MY LIFE! YOU SHOULD SERVE ME!"

"You don't deserve to be called a true dragon after what you've done, Red Death," replied Reshiram, his hardened glare unfazed. "Your reign of terror ends now!"

"Reshiram, this way! Lead her into the clouds!" called Sarah from within the mists, the Vast White Pokemon nodding as he and Tsukumaro flew up to her and the others while the Red Death followed again.

But, just as she got in deep into the dark clouds as she pursued them, the Alpha Dragon came up empty as she stopped short, closing her opened jaw and not seeing her targets. She was all alone and it was irritating her that she was left high and dry while her attackers used the mists as cover to leave her in a right state. The Night Furies dark scales and Winters' cloaking ability made it impossible for her to find them which she found most inconvenient.

"WHERE DID YOU GO?! I'M YOUR QUEEN, I COMMAND YOU TO SHOW YOURSELVES!" the Red Death screeched as she looked around for her targets but seeing nothing. "COME ON OUT, YOU LITTLE RATS! FIGHT ME!"

Before she could look any further after making her demands known, she was soon assaulted by her attackers again as the Furies flew in and out of the danger zone, shooting their plasma blasts at her wings, back, and face, irritating her to no end as she was too slow to react to any of the blasts.

It also didn't help, in her case, that Winter and Shadow's blasts were now a translucent blue as well and were stronger than ever which served more damage to her than she could take. Reshiram added insult to injury and more as he assisted in the new assault, switching between Steel Wing and Dragon Claw to break her thick scales and making her roar out in more pain.

"You look desperate for a queen, Little Red Toothy," taunted Shadow from within the mist as the group continued to attack. "All you had to do was continue eating your meals until you're satisfied and have a full belly. Then, everything will be hunky-dory for you as normal."

"What gave you the idea that you can defeat us as the monster you are? You're no queen, you're just a demon who's incapable of feeling anything besides dominance and your own pride!" added Winter defiantly.

"If you thought we'd hesitate to do something about your crimes against your own kind and the Vikings like before because you seemed to rule over all, then you have no idea... How many fellow dragons and potential friends we could've had before we and our old friends left for a new home were lost and how many Vikings from the Isle of Berk our species had to kill!"

Back on the ground, Everybody continued to watch as they saw a series of purple and blue flashes in the clouds as the fateful final battle went on. Finally, feeling fed up with being toyed with, the Red Death Queen decided to draw her opponents out no matter what.

"THAT'S IT, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" she snapped with absolute fury. "YOU ALL WILL BURN AND BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!"

She soon fired a giant blast of methane fire to pick her attackers out, lighting up the entire area around her to draw out her targets. Hiccup noticed this when he saw the Red Death lighting up the clouds with her flame and he knew that their time for their continued assault was up.

"Watch out!" he screamed, everybody quickly dodging the flames that licked them.

However, while they were able to get away from the blast unscathed, Toothless' prosthetic fin was starting to burn off as Hiccup suddenly noticed.

"Okay, time's up, everybody! Let's see if this works!" he called.

"We've only got one shot at this!" added Sarah before she turned to Reshiram. "Reshiram, help us! Lend me your power!"

Reshiram nodded knowingly, "I will do what I must for you and your family and friends, Princess."

Sarah nodded back before she soon signaled, "GO!"

On her command, everybody darted towards the Red Death to unleash the final step of their plan which involved the internal combustion they needed to kill the giant dragon. Reshiram, with Tsukumaro still holding onto him, followed after the Furies and their riders as they got closer to the Red Death.

"Come on, is that all you got?"

"We know you're the Queen of Dragons, you can do better than that!"

"I remember Eternatus being much tougher than you, you couldn't even compare to him!" Hiccup, Zenna, and Sarah egged, their dragons also giving taunting roars.

Seeing the "rats" coming within her sights, the Red Death roared defiantly and she tried to bite the group as they got closer and she opened her jaws. But, at the last moment, they all dodged her, diving down through the clouds and forcing her to chase after them after letting out a fierce roar. She was going to kill them all or die trying.

As they dived down back towards the ground, Sarah saw her chance as she activated her Z-Power Ring (her Draconium Z back in place) and performed the poses for Devastating Drake as best as she could while riding on Winter's saddle.

"Older than time itself, dragons have always known the calling! When worlds collide, let the truth be told apart from lies of old!" she recited, transferring her Z-Power to Reshiram. "I am Truth, I am pure of heart, mind, body, and spirit! Join with me as dragons from all over fly without fear, let a ray of hope and bravery shine on the future of the Isle of Berk!"

While Reshiram prepared to use a Z-Move with Sarah as everybody in their party continued to divebomb with the Red Death hot on their heels, Toothless' makeshift tail fin started to disintegrate. It was still burning from the Alpha Dragon's flames and it was about to be destroyed unless they kill the monstrous dragon now.

"Stay with us, buddy, we're good! Just a little bit longer," Hiccup encouraged, knowing that Toothless' prosthetic fin will be finished in a matter of seconds as they exited the clouds.

"Hang in there, Stryka," Zenna whispered to her best friend, gently rubbing her and bracing themselves for their final attack.

Closing in for the kill, the Red Death started to open her jaw as she narrowed her eyes at them. "I HAVE YOU NOW!" she bellowed triumphantly.

"Hold, guys. You too, Reshiram," replied Sarah, holding off on her and the Vast White Pokemon's Z-Move. "Reshiram, use Devastating Drake..."

"...NOW!" the three kids and Tsukumaro screamed, the five dragons turning and firing their attacks and the Dragon Type Z-Move at the Red Death at the same time just as she was about to fire at them.

The last-ditch combo attack did the trick as they caused premature ignition of the giant dragon's methane fuel which resulted in her gas chambers exploding, making her scream in absolute pain as her doom was sealed and it now became inevitable. The Red Death roared frantically and she tried to stop herself from going on a crash course to ground zero but when she opened her wings to slow her rapid descent, as a result of the plasma blasts and Devastating Drake, they started to rip from the inside out.

"NO, NO, AHH, AHH! AAAAHHHHH!" the Red Death screamed as Reshiram, Toothless, Shadow, Winter, and Stryka corrected themselves and used their wings to slow down immediately and fly behind the dying Red Death before she crashed to the ground and exploded in a ball of fire as everyone shielded their eyes. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

With their work done, Hiccup, Zenna, Sarah, their dragons, Tsukumaro, and Reshiram flew up to avoid the deceased Red Death's body as it burned to death in the raging inferno but as Hiccup pressed down on the stirrup, Toothless' prosthetic tail fin burned and it came off. But, it was only going to get worse as the three human friends and their Furies yelped and roared in a frightened panic, seeing that they were heading straight for the dead dragon's club tail.

"SCATTER!" Tsukumaro screamed, Reshiram, Winter, and Shadow managing to fly away with him and Sarah still safely with them.

Unfortunately, Toothless, Stryka, Hiccup, and Zenna were still coming in too fast and they reacted too late after crashing into the tail. The Night Fury couple endured the crash but their human riders were both knocked out cold as they were soon thrown off of their dragons' saddles, plummeting to the ground below.

"NO!" shrieked a horrified Sarah as she jumped off of Winter's saddle and dived after the pair to grab them.

"PRINCESS!" cried a shocked Tsukumaro, still aboard Reshiram.

"HICCUP!"

"ZENNA!"

"SARAH, NO!"

"SARAH, HANG ON!" screamed Toothless, Stryka, Shadow, and Winter (the former two finally speaking fluently to Sarah), all of them horrified as they dove towards the three humans one by one into the burning remains of the Red Death.

When the flames and the dust settled, Stoick, Edgar, Henna, Sarah's family, and Solar, joined by the other Vikings and Meatlug, Hookfang, Barf and Belch, and Stormfly, all looked around and called out to the three teens. They didn't see them reemerge from the inferno as it raged for several minutes after they lost sight of them and their Furies in the flames.

They looked all over the beach and called out for them in desperation, all of them fearing the worst as they still found no trace of them. They soon heard three roars above them and to their elated relief, they saw Reshiram, Shadow, and Winter coming down.

Sarah had managed to grab an out-cold pair of Hiccup and Zenna safely in her arms while Shadow managed to save a heavily-exhausted Toothless as he held his fellow Night Fury in his claws. Stryka also took one for the team as she was wounded after crashing into the Red Death's tail as she was gently held by an equally exhausted Winter (she and her mate's Alpha Dominance abilities canceling out after the battle ended). After they touched down in front of the group, Sarah let out a relieved sigh as her armor deactivated and slumped down with her back on her Light Fury.

"Zenna!"

"Hiccup!" shouted Edgar, Henna, and Stoick, seeing their kids and taking them into their arms, pressing their ears to their chests.

They hoped that they would still be alive after what happened to them after they crashed but they soon let out shaky and relieved sighs as they gave soft chuckles and looked towards the four dragons and the princess.

"She's alive..."

"Oh, he's alive... You've brought them back alive!" choked Stoick and Edgar excitedly, tears of joy welling in their eyes before they fell.

"THEY'RE ALIVE!" announced Henna to the crowd joyfully, sending everybody into a frenzy.

They had done it; the two former Viking underdogs, Sarah, their dragons, Reshiram, and Tsukumaro had all managed to kill the Red Death and save both the dragons and the Vikings from certain death. Astrid let out a watery laugh, her ocean blue eyes glossy as she wept with happiness. Even Snotlout had to wipe away a stray tear while Hookfang pushed his face towards the crowd, letting out a happy and elated croon as he also wept.

Stoick approached the worn-out Sarah with his son still in his arms, frowning remorsefully before he gently gave a thankful smile to her. "Oh, forgive me, Sarah. I was a fool to think the dragons are nothing but mindless monsters. Thank you... For saving my son and his best friend. I owe you their lives, mine, and those of my people," he apologized.

But then, Gobber hobbled over and frowned sorrowfully as he looked over his apprentices. "Well, most of them..." he replied, directing to Stryka, Hiccup, and Zenna's wounds.

Sarah looked them over and she was horrified by the extent of the damage on them; the flesh on Hiccup's mangled leg was torn open just below the knee, a jagged piece of bone had jutted out, and the fabric of his trousers burned into the skill was now oozing blood and pus. Zenna lost her right eye as the entire right side of her face was now covered in blood, her mangled eye falling out and showing it was nothing more than a smashed-up grape. Sadly, this was also extended to Stryka as she also lost her right eye in the crash as her blood poured down from the spot where it used to be.

A frightened Stoick screamed for a medic and Zenna's parents were equally horrified as they held her and hiccupped, praying for her to be okay as worried tears dripped onto their daughter's pale face. To them, it was losing Elias all over again unless something can be done to save her life as well as Hiccup's life and Stryka's.

Pulling herself up as she shook off her exhaustion with Winter's help, she knew there was no time to waste before they would lose the wounded trio forever.

"Come on, we're going back to Berk! Everybody stay close!" she announced with the authority demanded from a princess.

Everybody heeded her orders as they all grouped together so that nobody gets left behind on their quick return back to the Viking army's island home. "Nebby, Nebula, Teleport us back to Berk! Now!" she demanded to her Sunne and Moon Pokemon.

"Gotcha, Mama!" they saluted, quickly teleporting everyone back to Berk.

In no time at all, thanks to Nebby and Nebula's Teleport, the entire crowd comprised of Pokemon, Vikings, dragons, Sarah, and Tsukumaro returned to Berk as a large crowd was waiting for them. But, the Vikings that stayed behind flew into a panic as they reached for any weapons to defend themselves with.

"HOLD!" boomed Stoick, stopping the panicked crowd as he marched forward. "My people, I assure you! There is a lot that you must know during the past several hours since we left for the Dragon's Nest! Our army and I have finally learned that the dragons and the Pokemon mean no harm to us!"

"No harm, NO HARM!?"

"Say, what?!"

"Did you not remember how many of our people those lizards killed?"

"Dragons can't be trusted!"

"They've caused us more than enough death and suffering to last us a lifetime!"

"And, what about those creatures you called, Pokemon?! What's up with them?"

"What if they somehow turn on us and prove that they're nothing but monsters that needed to be destroyed as well?!"

"Seven generations; for SEVEN GENERATIONS, the dragons have tormented us for as long as we roamed the world! And, just when we think we haven't suffered enough and we're on the verge of ending the scourge that plagued us for many years, that wretch comes along and brings us to further ruin!"

"She's got some nerve trespassing on our home and bringing those beasts with her!"

"She's even got dragons on them! What if she turns them on us for her own selfish greed?!"

"We won't stand for this any longer! I say, WE KILL THE BEASTS!" jeered the Vikings, throwing their accusations at the already angered and annoyed Viking army and the rest of their party with them.

"HEY! If you're all done ranting and you want to hear the full story, I suggest you listen to Stoick and he and your army will tell you everything!" spat Sarah, getting into the faces of the mob before her group. "Now, I'd love to tell you everything but my friends are in need of immediate medical attention and they need our help before they die. So, if you don't mind, EXCUSE ME!"

Not wasting any more time, Sarah roughly shoved through the startled crowd as she, Henna, Edgar, and Gobber (the latter three having Hiccup and Zenna in their arms) rushed off to find a medical hut with Audino and Solar running after them.

"Gobber, Henna, Edgar, I need a place to perform an operation for them," requested Sarah to Gobber. "Is there a medical hut anywhere in this village?"

"You can use our house," suggested Edgar.

"I used to be a doctor to treat many patients that have been damaged throughout the Dragon Wars," added Henna in agreement. "I can help you treat them and Stryka, Sarah."

The princess nodded and they quickly rushed over to the Fiersome house to perform Hiccup and Zenna's surgeries along with Stryka's (who was finally brought over by Toothless, Shadow, and Winter as they managed to get away from the already-angry mob).

Once they were all inside, Sarah, Henna, and Solar rested the trio on their own makeshift medical beds before the little princess used Solar's PowerPack to produce an operating table, a heart monitor, and other surgery supplies including a full set of surgical tools, gloves, and a mask. Gobber, Henna, and Edgar were astounded to see such highly advanced technology but there wasn't much time to marvel at what they were bearing witness to given that Hiccup, Zenna, and Stryka were still on the verge of death.

Henna and Sarah gently laid the former underdogs together on the operating table before the latter hooked them up to the heart monitor before placing IV life supports into their arms to keep them hydrated. Soon, they were ready for their surgery as Sarah started treating Hiccup's leg first.

Thankfully, after working with Nurse Joy as a junior nurse for several months and with the knowledge she gained after treating many humans and Pokemon, she was able to heal them to the best of their abilities. With Henna's help and prior experience as a doctor, Sarah tied off the veins major artery in Hiccup's wounded leg before she removed all of the dead tissue and muscle that had burned from the fire. Then, she cut off the small piece of bone with a piece of wire before she pulled the skin together, stitched his leg back up, and gave him an antibiotics shot.

As they got to work on healing Stryka and Zenna's eye wounds, Gobber and Edgar looked on in amazement at Sarah's medical skills and even Henna couldn't help but occasionally look at her in awe. But, they also looked towards Hiccup and his stitched leg occasionally, all three of them feeling grateful and deeply relieved that they didn't have to replace his healed leg with a prosthetic leg had it been badly infected and whatever medical techniques they have didn't work on his heavy wound. They had to admit that it was a close call and a miracle that he, Stryka, and Zenna were able to escape death by the skin of their teeth.

They also didn't have to worry too much as Sarah stitched Zenna and Stryka's eyelids and started to dissect them before she stitched the spots where their lost eyes used to be. There wasn't a chance for her to make new eyes given how severe the damage was to them so she opted for them to be given eye patches when they next woke up if their lost eyes are badly damaged beyond repair.

"Well, that should do it," replied Sarah as she finished and took her mask off, wiping her brow. "They'll be alright but it'll be a full week before they wake up. Although, I'm not sure if Zenna and Stryka will be able to see through those eyes again despite my best efforts. I've done all I could but..."

Edgar and Henna nodded understandingly, both of them feeling grateful regardless since all that matter to them was that Zenna was still alive. So, they took their daughter back to her room while Gobber gently carried the healed Hiccup back to his home, his stitched leg on a makeshift brace as the older Viking nodded thankfully to the princess. Sarah sighed as she looked at Stryka as she slept on the operating table, she could only hope that they wouldn't take their wounds and near-miss with death so hard after they wake up.

At the same time, while she healed the former underdogs and Toothless' mate, Stoick gathered everybody in the Great Hall to explain everything.

"My children, today has been an eye-opener for us all ever since the army and I left for the Dragon's Nest this morning! My son, Hiccup, and his best friends, Sarah Tomoe and Zenna Fiersome, have finally ended the Dragon Wars through a miracle that none of us saw coming!" he began, addressing all of the Vikings gathered.

"For several days shortly after the last raid on our village, both Hiccup and Zenna have befriended two of the most formidable dragons our world has ever known-Night Furies-and have found a way to work together with what we once labeled as the 'Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death' while Sarah managed to befriend her own Night Fury and a host of other dragons we have never laid eyes on for as long as we lived. I've never been one to be most accustomed to change as we're a people bound by tradition but after everything that has happened and I finally opened my eyes to the truth and a near-death experience with the true threat to us and the dragons, I'm now willing to give those magnificent creatures a chance. And, we have them and their fellow Vikings to thank for that."

He gestured to Fishlegs, Snotlout, Astrid, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and their dragon partners as he made his next fateful announcement, "If these wonderful Vikings can forge a strong bond of friendship and trust with them and work alongside them, perhaps we can do the same. As your chief, and on behalf of Princess Sarah Tomoe, I now declare that the dragons will be welcomed as honorary citizens of Berk."

The crowd started murmuring thoughtfully, their own minds racing as they proceeded to absorb Stoick's words. As she stood near the teens and their dragons, Gothi watched the entire ordeal before she looked at Stoick and nodded in approval. It was clear she was willing to throw her full support behind his newfound decision following the revelation of the dragons.

But, of course, not everyone was on board with this decision as a Viking coot made his disdain on the subject known.

"Stoick, old boy... Have you lost your MIND?!" snapped the coot named Mildew, aghast and angry over Stoick's decree as he stomped towards him.

"You've must've gone soft on those beasts ever since the royal brat showed up and made quite the impression on your son and Zenna! And, since you've told us that you and the army have been saved by them and these monstrous creatures that witch calls 'Pokemon', you seem to be having a new mindset unworthy of being a Viking! Have you forgotten about your wife; she was taken from us by those bastards, everybody here has lost family of all kinds to the dragons! So what if you have a change of heart for them? What if they still have a hidden agenda and backstab us whenever our backs are turned? Our village will be burned to the ground, our farms will be raided once more, more of our families and friends will die in minutes the moment we let our guard down! We'll have nothing after that!"

The crowd murmured in agreement, knowing this to be true as far as they could tell as Mildew thumped his staff on the floor, still angry about the decree.

Edgar and Henna entered the Great Hall after putting their healed daughter to bed and needless to say, after hearing everything Mildew had spat to the unwavering Stoick, they weren't going to take his own truth lying down.

"So, are you now doubting our chief and a princess from another world, Mildew? Are you willing to commit treason to prove your point against our leader and a member of a royal crown?" spoke Edgar, glaring at the shocked Viking coot and getting everyone's attention as they stepped forward and joined Stoick.

"H-h-h-Henna, E-Edgar!" spluttered Mildew, failing to backtrack on his words.

"Our daughter and her friends nearly gave their lives to save us all from the Red Death that threatened to kill us all, Vikings and dragons alike. Their dragons, especially Sarah's, have been nothing but blessings to them. You see them as mindless beasts, we now see them as saviors."

Henna nodded, her own glare piercing at the shocked and furious coot. "We have seen many dragons doing terrible things but that's only because they weren't doing so out of their own free will. The ones who are close friends and family with our daughter, Hiccup, and Sarah will tell you much more than we could just from their interactions with them," she added firmly.

"Winter, Shadow, Toothless, Stryka, they all fought hard against the Red Death alongside them and they're willing to die for them if it meant keeping them safe from harm, something that we and Stoick have been trying too hard to do for them and you all. Edgar and I finally saw them for what and who they really are when we told Zenna the truth about her brother's death and how he came to be the first one to question our own actions towards them and their true nature. We know the truth now; they're not monsters, they're more than that. They're allies, friends... They're family."

The Vikings all gasped, all of them touched and stunned by what Henna said and from her heartfelt declaration and her and Edgar's admittance to the dragons' true nature and Zenna's friendship and love for Stryka. But, even so, Mildew was still set in his grudge against the dragons as he soon dared to bring up Elias' death as he and others with him viewed it.

"'Allies' and idealistic nonsense that cost you your own son!" he snarled, pointing his staff at the dragons as they seethed furiously at him.

"The Monstrous Nightmare only killed him because SOMEBODY FOOLISHLY ATTACKED THE POOR CREATURE!" Henna exploded, stunning everyone into silence as they gasped in complete shock.

Then, her glare hardened further as she stared Mildew directly in the eye. "Tell us, Mildew. Were you the one responsible for provoking the Monstrous Nightmare just as Elias was just about to make friends with it?" she questioned, making the Viking coot blink as his breath hitched and he slowly began to buckle under her suspicious and harsh gaze.

Seeing him not answering, Henna proceeded to continue as she recalled Elias' death and the Viking that caused the Monstrous Nightmare to kill him, "The Viking my husband and I saw that prompted the dragon to kill him had a long staff on him just as he charged towards them. We know that you're the only one out of all of us that uses a staff in addition to every other weapon we have in our village's arsenal so we know you must've found out about what our son did earlier that night when he released it and tried to connect with it."

Realizing that whatever he had done that led to Elias' death according to this surprise extra detail from Henna and Edgar's memories of that tragic moment is out of the bag, Mildew cleared his throat before he responded, "...Yes, I did. I had to fight it because I thought it had broken free and the devil was going to kill him."

The Viking crowd murmured again in surprise as they looked at each other, floored by the nonchalant confession of Elias' unintentional death by one of their own, simply doing what he thought was right.

"Then... If Elias had managed to befriend Hookfang, if he explained everything that he did before he died, we would've ended the Dragon Wars from the start," breathed Fishlegs in stunned silence.

"That was not just an accident which caused Elias to die, it was you that provoked Hookfang and caused him to kill him by mistake!" Snotlout shouted, infuriated by what Mildew had done to who had been a close friend of him and the other teens while Hookfang looked guilty by what he had unintentionally done as the other dragons comforted him.

Mildew just scoffed as he looked between the teens and Edgar and Zenna, "Nobody knew until those traitors brought it up. But, if you two suspected two years ago, why did you wait this long to say anything?"

"Because, even back then, it's difficult since we were still trying to cope with his loss!" snapped Edgar, he and Henna sobbing angrily as they glared at Mildew still.

"Our boy did die trying to befriend a dragon but you ruined what he was trying to do when you tried to 'save' him when he didn't need your help! We just-we didn't think that it would be possible for us humans, Vikings, to become friends with dragons. Seeing Zenna and Stryka together, we had a feeling Elias was on to something and as much as it shames us to say this back then, we just didn't want to admit that he was also right about the dragons when he told us about the guilt he felt from killing them was tearing him apart. So, we stayed quiet and denied everything he was saying about that."

"But then, when the Monstrous Nightmare tried to kill Zenna, Hiccup, and Sarah yesterday after he was provoked again, the fact that Stryka, Toothless, Shadow, and Winter rescued them and seeing how happy they were with them... That's the moment that set us on the path to our current situation. To go back to fighting and killing the dragons would bring great shame to our family and we'd be forsaking our boy, disgracing his memory. We'd also be doing a great disservice to Sarah, Hiccup, and Zenna if we don't take this crucial leap forward if we and the dragons want to survive."

But, Mildew, still in shock and now in disbelief from what he was hearing, mockingly laughed in their faces. "You expect me to believe that those worthless outcasts and that phony princess and their beasts will represent our future?!" he spat in disgust.

"Believe what you want, Mildew! The princess and her family are no longer a threat," argued Stoick, scoffing at the old Viking coot and standing by his previous decree and his friends' words.

"They chose to risk their lives coming here, some within them more so than others. If they were to help the dragons under the Red Death's power, they would've killed us right then and there! But, they didn't and chose to help Zenna and my son become more than what they weren't! And, they've greatly shown that like us, the dragons are more than meets the eye!"

"Hmph! A foolish decision if there ever was one. They're mad, Stoick, you don't understand! Humans and dragons will never co-exist in peace and we never have been for over 3,000 years, who's to say that the fighting between us and them won't happen again if we go along with your new decree? It's obvious that those three runts have had their minds poison by the vicious bastards, they and their dragons deserve to die! Do you really think we'd be better off living with those creatins, huh?!"

"SHUT UP!" bellowed Eternatus, seething at Mildew as the Vikings turned to him in shock.

The Gigantic Pokemon had not spoken a single word to them besides Hiccup and Zenna since they were the only ones that Sarah trusted her true identity and her family to at the time. Now, though, with Mildew still going on his rage-filled and hatred-mongering tangent about the dragons and his lust for his trainer's blood and those of the rest of his family, Hiccup, Zenna, Toothless, and Stryka, he had had enough.

"The only monster I'm seeing here is you, old man," the giant Dragon Type spat as he gave his own searing glare at the Viking coot.

"W-w-w-w-Who do you think y-y-you a-are, demon?!" Mildew stuttered, feeling frightened but trying to steel himself through his shock. "W-We couldn't find it in ourselves to befriend them because they always struck us first and showed us that they really are devils! And, your human and those two traitors threw their lot in with your kind!"

"Uh-uh! Sorry, don't act like you're the only victim here! You're trying to prove your own worthless moot point that dragons of all kinds are to be spat upon, discriminated against, looked down upon, all while placing yourself too high as a human animal! My pipsqueak and her Vikings runts for friends are not the real devils, you big chicken, YOU ARE!"

"...How DARE you!" seethed Mildew, his anger showing as he pointed his staff furiously at Eternatus. "Why would you throw your pathetic lot with those traitors?!"

"Then, why would you throw your lot in with the Vikings of old were too old and bitter to change for as long as the Dragon Wars started, taking everything that was once said about the dragons at face value without even questioning it?" retorted Ching Wan as he and Hashimoto stepped forward and gave Mildew skeptical glares ad eyebrow raises.

"You're doing the same thing as they did before Elias, Hiccup, and Zenna took the first step you refused to take when all of this started. You looked down on the dragons and those who'd willingly dare to connect with them, treating them and killing them all like cattle!" spat Hashimoto to the Viking coot before pointing furiously at him. "That's the weakness of your heart for discrimination, racism in all its forms, all come from the human heart!"

"Nothing that was done before you all found out about the Red Death comes close to justifying the terrible things and deaths for both the dragons and the Vikings you and everybody else have done and instigated before we came along to end your pain," added Zarude firmly, nodding in agreement.

"What old geezers like you who can't accept change have done was caused meaningless death and suffering to countless people and dragons in this world. Can't you feel their pain whenever you sleep?" continued Keldeo, also glaring at the thunderstruck Mildew.

"People can change once they take the first step to a larger world and discover that it's not all it's cracked up to be by some people including you, Mildew," Star went on. "Days, weeks, months, years... We all change even if those changes aren't immediately and as time passes, change, in all its forms, becomes inevitable."

"The sins you and your people have committed are heavy ones since you could be seen as either ignorant to the true threat and you knew about it or you refused to admit that there's an even greater danger compared to what the dragons presented against you when you're shown it," Cobalion continued.

"And, I know that better than any one of you because, in my world, I've suffered for 3000 years by the hands of humans!" exclaimed Eternatus before he turned away as he spoke.

"All my life before coming to Earth in my world, I've had to contend with being a nomad, finding and being denied a home to live in, not being offered any form of love, compassion, trust, affection... Always being treated and deemed like a monster everywhere I go as any and all would become too scared of me to give me a chance to live for myself before I was sealed away and trapped into what seemed like eternal hell. When I was brought back, all I wanted back then was revenge and to punish and kill humanity for fearing me but I've changed ever since my pipsqueak came along and caught me. She was unique compared to you all and everybody else we've crossed paths with; she never saw me as a monster, she only saw me for who and what I really was - a lost soul crying out for help, a Pokemon in need of a helping hand to guide me and show me the way. She is a human who had a special kind of inner beauty, a light, that even I can't begin to snuff out..."

Eternatus sighed as he recalled all of the things he went through with Sarah after he was captured, everything he went through coming back full circle in his mind while he continued to speak his mind out.

"I'll admit; at first, I felt like a prisoner under her care and I've wanted nothing to do with her after that. But, as time went on and I've begun to see what she was like with her Pokemon, her dragons, her friends, me... Not once did I ever see that brat find it in herself to set me free and leave me to my own devices, I wanted to break free but I couldn't. Something within my body, my own heart, begged me not to go and leave her behind. She's put up with how much of a total ass of a Pokemon I've been, even going so far as to protect me from the man who wanted me for his own dream, and not once did she ever consider abandoning me."

He then faced Mildew again as he glared at him and finished his two cents as he got back to the subject at hand. The other Vikings including the teens and their own dragons, however, looked on in awe, amazement, and sympathy for Eternatus, feeling the pain he went through as he spoke. It was clear he was making quite the impression on them and they were deeply touched by his story and his time with Sarah.

"Yes, old man. My pipsqueak's not a Viking and it's true that Vikings and dragons won't be able to make peace with one another with 300 years of emotional baggage you all have on you but I speak the truth and believe me when I say that you fully know well now why she is as she is. Times are changing and my pipsqueak and her two Viking runts for friends have proven, they're twice or ten thousand times the Vikings you are," he finished.

"Eternatus speaks the truth, human. Those qualities you look down upon are what made her as strong as she is regardless of what others like you may think," nodded Reshiram in agreement, firmly glaring at the still-thunderstruck Mildew, who was at a loss for words. "The one thing you failed to learn is that just because someone is different doesn't mean they can be useless or something worse. As Young Hashimoto said, discrimination comes from the heart."

"So, why don't you run that by us again and prove why dragons and Vikings shouldn't be friends? Aren't the ones who trusted Mr. Snotlout, Mr. Fishlegs, Mr. Tuffnut, Mrs. Ruffnut, and Ms. Astrid more than enough proof for you? We're waiting~" finished Mai smugly.

The Viking crowd murmured once again, taking in everything that was said to them and remembering Sarah's previous words about fighting her own war against her uncle in her world, not finding any reason to doubt her, her family, and Stoick anymore and decided to take that first step, too. Mildew seethed as he saw that he was outmatched and outnumbered by everyone else but he soon straightened himself and left in a huff.

Soon, everyone else was left on their own as the Viking coot stubbornly refused to accept the truth and left the Great Hall for home. They all knew that while change is inevitable and everyone must adapt to the future, it won't be easy as there will still be some like Mildew who'd rather want things to stay the same and not end as they would.

"...Now, what?" asked Snotlout, asking what everybody is thinking.

Hashimoto and Ching-wan turned and spoke to Stoick on their family's behalf as they bowed to him. "Sorry, Stoick, I suppose some people like him will never change," the Single Strike Style Urshifu apologized.

"It doesn't look like he'll be accepting Berk for what'll be in the future with the dragons as its honorary citizens," added Hashimoto regretfully, still bowing.

Stoick smiled gently as he urged them to relax their bows. "That's okay, I know things will not be easy from here on out and it'll only get harder from here. But, as long as we and the dragons have each other as we look forward to the future, there's nothing that we cannot do. This world is for all of us, even the dragons. Your master, your mother, taught all of us that," he reassured, getting knowing smiles and nods from the Wushu Brothers.

He then turned to the rest of Sarah's family as he wanted one of them to give some final words for what the future may bring with the dragons on board.

"Now, since you've all done a great deal for us ever since you've arrived and Sarah is needed to watch over my son, Zenna, and Stryka tonight, who would like to give off one final speech to round off the evening's announcements?"

"If I may, Chief Stoick?" requested Virizion as she stepped forward and addressed the Vikings.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Vikings of all ages, today, the death of the dragon known as the Red Death marked the beginning of many things - a new age for dragons, a new age for you, but more than that, this is the start of a brand new era of peace for everyone!" she began.

"The Dragon Wars that have been going on for 300 years for every last one of you including the dragons, those days of running, hiding, living in fear for your lives, fighting, anger, hatred, bloodshed, and blind discrimination are over! The world is changing all around you as we speak after the Red Death was finally destroyed and before my world's princess and our family leave for home, we will help you take the first step in changing with it! It will not be easy and there will be many struggles along the way for you but as long as you and your new dragon companions work together and stick together as one, you will all grow strong and happy! You all are the Isle of Berk and you will stand as a living testament to what your world could be! That is my family's promise to you, for Berk!"

"FOR BERK!" the Vikings chanted as they cheered, giving Virizion and her family along with Stoick a rousing and standing ovation as they agreed to look forward to a brighter future with the dragons as the new Berk - the Isle of Vikings and Dragons, together.

"And, speaking of taking the first step, you know what that means!" added Mai eagerly, causing Silvally to grimace as he knew what was coming.

"Oh, no! Don't tell me-!" he groaned as Mai quickly broke out into song, her exuberant energy starting to permeate the Great Hall and everyone in it.

"Of course, that runt did," grumbled Eternatus as he turned away, not wanting to have any part in her dance.

(Fit Right In - My Little Pony: A New Generation Parody)

Mai: Before the Red Death had complete control of dragon kind

You'd hear all dragon kind they were brutes you'd hate to be among

They killed our children

They're vicious

I bet they eat their young

Meet any one of them the thing to do is fight or run

Mai started dancing to the best in her own way while Winter and the dragons joined in shortly after, to the surprise of the villagers being they've never seen dragons dance before.

But its time for all that paranoia mess to stop

Replace with a new era of love and peace and friendship too

Now let's put aside those differences cause you've just got a win

Oooh

Come on rip out all the pages of your history book

Just because we are so different doesn't mean we're crooks

Mai cheerfully leaped onto the Viking Teens dragons happily before stopping on Hookfang.

Let us walk you through the crowd and give your brand new life a spin

You're gonna fit right in

Hookfang: Its never gonna work

Mai: You're gonna fit right in

Hookfang: This is not gonna work

They taught us humankind were all super scary maniacs

With swords like razor

And tongue like tasers

And teeth like tacks

They take your claws and then they grind them into midnight snacks

The basic gist of it is humankind are not okay

Nebula: Look I know how we risked everything for this endeavor

But look at us were brave and strong when we're together

Thus closer to the finish than we've ever ever been

Woahoaoa

Virizion: So we're gonna take the leap to put our faith in you

Star: Cause together we can make this world so better true

Aqua: It time to end this madness and begin the peace once more!

Mai: You're gonna fit right in!

Barf and Belch: Heh if you say so

Mai and Star: You're gonna fit right in

Mai: I know you will, now watch and learn

You can have the Boulder Class plow, plow

You can have the Stoker Class Guard, Guard

You can have the Tidal Class fish, fish

(You can have the Tidal Class fish, woah not sharks!)

You can have the Striker Class fight

Oh watch 'em shake their dragon tails now

Now you're in the dragon life know

Soon you'll be a dragon life pro!

Oh, a dragon life is just like Pokemon life

It's the way you live with them, it's the source of your pride

Every dragon that is born with flare, a flare that unique

So you learn about their technique, you be lookin très magnifique!

You'll know the dragon coexistence no more of dragon resistance

This is the perfect solution cause this world is big on conclusion

And with those rocks in our pocket we'll reap the reward

New lives will be born

You'll strike a new way

The peace is restored

This time the rest of the family joined in, including Tsukumaro, even though this was completely weird and awkward for him. But as the old saying goes; live in the moment.

Mai and the rest of the family: Lately all of Viking kind has lost it heart

But if we pick up the pieces we shall play our part

Tsukumaro: If we fail its all for nothing

Mai and the family: But if not, the peace shall stay

So let's begin!

They're gonna fit right in

They're gonna fit right in

They're gonna fit right in

They're gonna fit right in

(They're gonna fit right in)

You can have the Boulder Class plow

You can have the Stoker Class Guard

Now you're in the dragon life strong

This is how a brand new friend ends this song

The days passed and while everybody else was preparing for Berk's new future with the dragons, Sarah continued to take it upon herself to monitor Zenna, Hiccup, and Stryka's conditions with Toothless occasionally finding time to visit Zenna's house and see how his mate was faring after she lost her right eye. She managed to recover halfway through the week they spent doing so and she was a little devastated that she won't be able to see with a right eye again since she'll now have to wear an eyepatch but she decided to wear it with pride, eventually seeing it as a badge of honor and her testament to the unbreakable bond she and Zenna shared.

With the former underdogs, during their second day of healing when Stoick, Henna, and Edgar joined her to see how they were faring, they discovered that their pulses were still going strong and their heartbeats were at a regular pace again. Stoick was also fascinated by her medical skills when he saw the work she'd done to heal his son including his and Zenna's amputations and he was left with nothing but eternal gratitude to her for saving his life again.

While they continued to recover, her dragons finally decided to reintegrate themselves into society with Berk's Vikings, overcoming their previous grudges against them and all humans in their old world and making amends with them while the hatchlings happily mingled with their children. It turns out they loved playing with them, especially with the Night Lights, given their own playful nature. This was also mutual with Sarah's younger Pokemon, adding more good vibes to the giant litter.

As for Wyveon, he took an opportunity to show Sarah and her Pokemon around some of Berk's neighboring islands and a surprise that he has for them. The surprise turned out to be a couple of his own friends which, to Rotom-Dex's overwhelming delight, were three pairs of three kinds of undiscovered Pokemon that made their home in Berk unbeknownst to the Vikings.

According to the Pokemon themselves, they introduced themselves as follows while Rotom-Dex recorded what information they have about their species as new files into his databanks:

- The first couple consisted of two Cryoceros known as the Rock and Ice Type Woolly Rhino Pokemon; both holding the appearance of a wooly rhino but larger in size with their faces covered in ice with two horns jutting out - one horn similar to the length of a rhinoceros horn and the second horn behind it smaller by comparison

- The second couple featured two Infernoble which are Fire and Psychic Type Royal Lion Pokemon; an undiscovered lion-like Pokemon similar to Pyroar safe for their manes being similar to Kion's mane style but with a white coloring with yellow shading and edges. Their mouths were white as they matched their manes while the fur above their icy-blue and spring green eyes was more of a shade of royal red coupled with an icy-blue and spring green gem on their foreheads. The fur on their bodies was golden yellow and red while their leg fur was tan-like brown with white paws. To top it all off, their tails were also golden yellow but they had red tips on them with another crystal embedded in the middle of a fur split

- Finally, the last couple was comprised of a pair of Orcrown which are Water and Psychic Royal Dolphin Pokemon; they had dolphin-like appearances but their bodies were more of a mix of white and black coupled with a blue underbelly and blue fins with yellow shading on the upper half of their fins and tips. And, adding to their regal appearances were forehead fixtures that looked like crowns.

This threw the princess and her family for a loop as they had no idea there were Pokemon living in the world besides Wyveon but Rotom-Dex was overcome with excitement to know that there were other words that have Pokemon living in Berk and the Vikings' world as well as their own. He could only imagine how Kukui and Burnet would react when he showed them what they found.

The three couples were understandably startled to find themselves in the presence of other Pokemon and humans for the first time but after Wyveon introduced the two groups to each other and explained everything that had been going on, they quickly warmed up to Sarah and her family and thanked them for ending the Dragon Wars.

After taking a look at the Cryoceros couple, Cranidos, Tyrunt, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, and Amaura were startled to see that there was even a Pokemon or two that resembled an actual African animal but with an Ice Age twist. The amused Woolly Rhino pair then explained that their kind once lived during the Ice Age but they just happened to be the only surviving pair as overtime, Climate Change wiped out their home as well as their much of, if not, all of their species.

This garnered sympathetic frowns from them as Tyrunt kindly offered them to come and live with them, knowing that Sarah will be starting her own conservation project for endangered animals including Pokemon and dragons along with the Orcrown and Infernoble couples if they were the last of their two species as well. The three couples were stunned by the generous offer but after a confirming nod from their only friend, they and Wyveon graciously accepted and bowed in gratitude.

With her new Pokemon in her stead and deciding to stay a little longer to help Berk prepare itself for its new future with the dragons, Sarah helped to teach the Vikings more about the Gronckles, Naddlers, Nightmares, and Zipplebacks as they refurbished and built new houses out of their old ones. The new houses would have feeding stations fitted to their roofs, preventing the dragons from accidentally crushing them under their varying weights. She was also asked to help teach them about the different species of dragons she has on her besides the ones they already once knew so they can have a headstart on preparing to find and rescue other dragons so they can take them in or nurse them back to health before releasing them.

This went on throughout the entire week that Hiccup and Zenna were on bed rest and were still recovering as Sarah checked their conditions three times each day from the morning to the afternoon and before turning in for the night. She also came with Stoick to the families of the Vikings that have been lost to pay their respects to their dead and to help them find solace and peace from knowing that the sacrifices made by their sons and daughters and/or their parents that were lost to the Red Death's wrath were not in vain. All in all, with her experience and current expertise on the dragons, all of Berk (mostly all of them, aside from a few naysayers, to be frank) greatly appreciated the princess and her family's assistance despite their previous spiteful treatment of them.

Before long, a full week after the final battle against the Red Death, Hiccup managed to wake up and find himself back on his bed in his and Stoick's house with Toothless watching over him. Hearing his Night Fury's coos and warbles stirred the male former underdog enough to have him open his eyes and come face-to-face with him.

"Oh... Hey, Toothless," breathed Hiccup as he happily licked him, relieved that he's awake again before he stepped on his chest, making him sit up. "Heh, I'm happy to see you, too. And-AGH!"

But then, he noticed that not only was he back in his room but Toothless was with him as he wagged his tail excitedly, acting more like a dog as he jumped up and down.

"I'm in my house. You're in my house," he began before he had a feeling of dread brewing in him. "Uh... Does my dad know you're here?!"

The male Night Fury stopped jumping before he perched himself on the rafters, still excited as he looked down at him.

"Toothless! Come on," he muttered before he suddenly realized something as he prepared to get out of bed.

He felt something different about one of his legs before he took off the blanket and looked down on his legs as Toothless looked at him, making him sigh.

Remaining silent, he placed his feet on the floor but he saw that his original left leg was replaced by a prosthetic metal leg topped off with a metal foot as it made a soft 'clink'. When checking up on him at one point during the week, Sarah discovered that despite her best efforts and while the antibiotics shot she injected was still in effect for him, Hiccup's left leg wasn't showing any signs of getting better so she and a few other Vikings including Gobber decided to amputate it and replace it with the metal leg he now has on him.

Toothless sniffed his new leg before looking at Hiccup and he tried to take his first step after finally getting out of his bed but since he was still weak from being asleep and recovering for seven days, his weak legs suddenly collapsed under his weight and he stumbled. Before he landed on the ground, Toothless managed to catch him.

"...Thanks, bud," he smiled as he rubbed him.

Together, they walked to the front door but when he opened the door, he saw a Monstrous Nightmare flying in front of him and he quickly closed it in shock with a frightened scream like before in the island's final dragon raid.

"Toothless, stay here," he ordered before going out the door.

As he went out, he suddenly saw that the Monstrous Nightmare that flew in front of him was actually Hookfang and he was flying with Snotlout riding him while Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Barf, Belch, and Meatlug followed closely behind.

"Come on, guys, get ready! Here we go! Hang on!" called Snotlout.

Hiccup was in utter shock and disbelief as he threatened to faint again; everywhere he looked in the village as he walked across it, he could see some more Deadly Naddlers, Monstrous Nightmares, Gronckles, and Hideous Zipplebacks perched up on the new rooftops, walking alongside the villagers in the streets as if they're pet dogs and cats, and even some Terrible Terrors of many different colors happily perched on some of the shoulders of the villagers strolling around.

Poor Hiccup was still in shock from what he was seeing, he could hardly believe it; when he and Zenna had wished for after meeting and befriending Toothless along with meeting Sarah and her family had come true. For the first time ever in Berk's history and that of their world, humans and dragons are coexisting with each other in cooperation and harmony.

"This is it, I'm dead," he moaned, filled with dread before he heard a burst of hearty laughter from behind him and he turned to see Stoick approaching him with Zenna, her parents, and Stryka walking beside him.

"Nope, but you and Zenna gave it your best shot with Sarah and her family's much-needed assistance. What do you think?" smiled the Viking Chief.

Hiccup was bewildered but he soon smiled as he saw his best friend coming to him. True to form, while the eye surgery was complete, it was discovered that she was now blind on her right eye. So, like Stryka, she had to wear an eyepatch over her damaged eye as well but she also considered it as a badge of honor since she felt like it did serve to put to rest her previous wish to become a Viking even if she hated killing dragons now.

"Hey, how's your eye, and Stryka's?" he asked.

"Lost them, for good," she answered before she gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we still got our left eyes and we're wearing these new patches with pride."

Hiccup chuckled, "Kinda makes you both look like swashbuckling pirates ready to set sail, really."

"Look, everyone, it's Hiccup and Zenna!" cried an excited Viking, having just seen them.

"And, here comes Sarah!" shouted another, seeing Sarah and her family along with her new additions by her side from another part of the village.

When the three teens were together, everybody on the entire island started to greet them happily and congratulate them for everything they've done. No longer were they jeering and giving them dirty looks after finding out about their dragons but with renewed respect as the Heroes of Berk.

"I never thought I'd say this before but right now, I had been doing much thinking after I made our dragon decree and I realized what our village was missing," replied Stoick as a proud Gobber came over and he gestured to his son. "Turns out that all the village really needed was a little of...This."

"But, you just gestured to me."

"Well, most of you. That bit with your new leg after we had to amputate it, that's my and Sarah's shared handiwork," added Gobber, gesturing to his fake leg. "All done with a bit of Hiccup Flair to top it off, what do you think? Will it do?"

Hiccup tried out his new leg again and he gave a rhy simie. "Well, I could make a few tweaks for it to really work," he chuckled.

Everybody, even the dragons and Sarah's Pokemon, all laughed at this. A relieved Astrid soon arrived from the crowd before hitting the trio in the arm out of a tiny bit of pent-up frustration from nearly losing them.

"OW!"

"Hey!"

"Wha-?!" they yelped.

"That was for scaring me," Astrid bluntly stated as she glared at them.

"Oh, come on! Can't we ever catch a break with that kind of thing?"

"Yeah, is it always going to be this way?! 'Cause-" the two Viking heroes began incredulously before they were cut up with a kiss to the cheek for Zenna and Sarah and a kiss to the lips for Hiccup from the older Viking girl.

"That's for everything else," she smiled.

"W-wh-what is with you?! I-Is this just going to be some usual thing just because-?" Hiccup began again before he cut himself off, realizing that Astrid actually kissed him which meant that he and Zenna won her full respect as well as their friendship with her.

"...I could get used to it," he smiled blissfully after being stunned for a bit.

Gobber even extended his own gratitude by presenting Hiccup and Zenna with brand new saddles and a new durable left tail fin for Toothless to replace the ones that had been destroyed in the final battle against the Red Death.

"Welcome home," he announced proudly.

"Night Fury!"

"Get down!" yelped some Vikings just as Toothless appeared and playfully jumped on two of them and a few others.

Apparently, he was getting bored of having to wait for Hiccup to return and he wanted to see him but also see how Stryka was continuing to get on with losing half of her sight after losing her right eye. Also, when he saw the new tail fin, he desperately wanted to go flying with it, his excited dog-like jumping, barking, and warbling getting chuckles out of the four teens. But then, everyone looked up to find Reshiram flying towards them and landing nearby.

"Reshiram!" gasped Sarah as she and her family quickly met him. "I, I don't know how we can thank you..."

"Your safety was paramount in addition to that of this entire village's people, Princess. I'm filled with nothing but pride and admiration for you for accomplishing a great feat such as fighting for the truth about the dragons and achieving peace between them and the Vikings," nodded the Vast White Pokemon.

"You've also impressed me when you finally decided to tell the other Vikings the truth about why you and your family came here and who you really are to them. It always takes a great deal of courage for anybody, humans and/or Pokemon alike, to tell the truth, even in the face of great danger. It's been said that the truth is a difficult and personal thing to reveal but in the case of some, it's a release. Whatever emotions about your past that have been bottled up when you found out about your past and your uncle's betrayal are now gone when you finally let them all out. In doing so, not only have you and your family risked your lives for your friends and the dragons but you took a gamble in setting off a chain of events that allowed yourself and your friends to end the Dragon Wars and destroy the Red Death."

He looked around the village, seeing the results of Sarah and her family's success in their mission with the Vikings and the dragons living together happily.

"This new era of peace you've managed to usher in will give others living in this world hope for the future. And now, with the Red Death gone and to ensure that the dragons will live on, the mantle of Alpha Dragon will be passed down to your Light Fury and Night Fury, Winter and Shadow," Reshiram went on, looking at the dragons in question.

The older Night Fury and his mate blinked and looked at each other in surprise while everyone else was shocked from the abrupt passing of the torch.

"Our leaders?!"

"Mommy and Daddy!?"

"Winter?"

"Shadow?" gawked the rest of Sarah's dragons, the Night Lights, Hashimoto, and Keldeo.

"Us?!" spluttered Shadow.

"We're not meant to be Alphas!" protested Winter in shock. "But, you've proven yourselves worthy of the title and position. You both took a risk when you helped to lead the other dragons while your mate was captured, Shadow. And you, Winter, proved yourself once more when you decided to willingly surrender in order to save the princess from death," noted Reshiram as the looked at the two.

"Your willingness to look past whatever prejudice you have against these humans of this world and die to protect the ones you love has given me great confidence that you will be a fine pair to lead the dragons of this world to a new age of prosperity and happiness. This will prove invaluable not only to yourselves but to the rest of your kind and your family. What's more, upon the princess using her Night Light Armor and through your love and determination to end the 300-year Dragon Wars, you've managed to unlock an ability that only dragons of your species have ever been able to master. Ever since you and your fellow dragons were found and taken in, you've learned the compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, charity, and leadership of a true Alpha. By defeating the Red Death in combat, you've essentially become the King of Dragons and the Queen of Dragons. From now on, you two are the new Alpha Dragons."

Shadow and Winter were still speechless by what they were offered by the Dragon of Truth but he wasn't finished yet as he then turned to the thunderstruck Sarah.

"Princess, your ability to understand your dragons despite their misgivings and their prejudice against this world has astounded even me. You were able to bear the weight of the harsh truth of this world before you, your family, and your friends finally brought the dragons and the Vikings together even after you broke down two days ago. And, you've learned that while there are some people who will never change or accept any truth no matter how hard you try or how painful it may be, you helped others set themselves free and learn to take things with a more open mind and I'm proud that you know that now. In fact, because of your unparalleled empathy, love, and compassion, a valuable lesson merits a valuable reward."

As soon as Reshiram said that, the Twilight Amulet gave off another bright glow after having lost some of its shimmer following her previous meltdown and a gold scepter (akin to the Spiral Heart Moon Scepter from Sailor Moon/Sailor Moon Crystal) appeared in her left hand. The scepter was engraved with the emblems of the Stoker, Boulder, Striker, Tidal, Mystery, Tracker, and Sharp dragon classes and the mount was shaped like an upside-down crescent with the jewel being in the shape of a large heart adorned with a Light Fury and a Night Fury formed in the position of the Yin-Yang symbol.

"Whoa..." blinked Sarah in shock as she and the Vikings looked the scepter over.

"This is what you may call the Dragon Heart Scepter, a powerful object given only to the one who would be deemed worthy of being known as the Princess of Dragons capable of using Dragon Magic," Reshiram explained, eying the scepter. "Dragon magic is an ancient but powerful form of magic assocated with dragons, only a person who is pure of heart shall use it. But, it's power won't work for someone who has a dark heart."

"I can't believe it..." Sarah breathed, looking over the scepter in her hands.

She now had even more on her shoulders and everything she had been through in such a short period of time after joining the Pokemon School when she was ten as an ordinary girl and now, she's a princess of not one but two worlds. She would have a lot to juggle on her royal side in addition to looking after her family and enjoying life with her old friends along with her duties as a Power Ranger but she knew that everything would be worth it in the end.

But, it'll only get better for her from here despite the added difficulties she endured as three more glows were formed in a mix of magic-like black and electric blue, pearl white with fiery red, and a sparkling silver and icy blue from the Vast White Pokemon and came down to her. The glows died down as they landed in her open right hand and they revealed themselves to be three more Pokemon gems that had emblems of their specific Pokemon, one of them featuring Reshiram on the white gem. The other two held similar emblems of his counterpart and the original husk that spawned from their creation, Zekrom and Kyurem. Sarah's eyes widened as she looked at the gems in her right hand - they belonged to the Tao Trio.

Reshiram's gem was white showing a red insignia of himself, Zekrom's gem was a translucent black with an electric blue insignia of him inside, and finally, Kyurem's gem was more of an icy blue with a white insignia of him in the middle of it.

"Let me guess, more Pokemon Gems?" quizzed Solar knowingly as he came forward and looked at the gems.

"Yeah, only this time, I got the Tao Trio," smiled Sarah with a nod.

"Those gems will serve you well and your parents would be proud if they could see you now, Princess," the Legendary Dragon Type spoke again before he bowed his head to her in reverence. "Now, you rule the entire dragon race alongside Winter and Shadow and starting today, I humbly pledge my allegiance to you."

Sarah's family gasped in amazement along with the Vikings and dragons gathered and even Sarah was left floored by Reshiram's alliance with her.

"Y-y-Your allegiance?" she stuttered, trying to find her words.

"You'll need my strength for your future struggles ahead of you. I am here and ready whenever you need me."

"Are you kiddin'?!"

"You can't be-!"

"No way!"

"WHAT?!"

"NO!"

"Ah, really?!"

"AHH!/WHA-!"

"Astounding!"

"Remarkable!"

"GET OUT/HOLY ARCEUS!"

"TOTALLY TUBULAR!" spluttered Silvally, Aqua, Mai, Kurma, Totem Luxray, Star, Kion and Kiara, Terrakion, Calyrex, Spectrier and Glastirer, and Cinderace in astonishment.

Sarah was also bowled over by Reshiram's words before she smiled and took out a Premier Ball, nodding to her new ally as she threw it and it opened, sucking the giant Dragon Pokemon inside. The ball shook for one moment as it returned to her before it immediately clicked, signifying and proving that from that moment onward, he is indeed her Pokemon.

"All right, I got Reshiram of the Tao Trio!" she cheered excitedly, the Vikings and dragons roaring and cheering for her as they all congratulated her while her family watched on proudly.

"Heh, well, how about that?" remarked Zarude in amusement, also floored by what he heard.

"Do tell," Tyrantrum agreed, smiling at the Vast White Pokemon.

"Well, what do you know? Reshiram, the Dragon of Truth, permanently aligning himself with the princess, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

"His strength and flight will prove invaluable to us against the struggle against Team Eclipse."

"I agree."

"Heh, I wonder how Ash and the others are gonna react when they see we have Reshiram with us!"

"I bet 200,000 Pokedollars they're gonna freak out a new storm for weeks," sniggered Zorua.

"Our little girl is growing up so fast," smiled Zeraora as they watched the dragon and Viking crowd lifted Sarah and tossed her up and down as they proudly changed her name over and over again.

Tsukumaro smiled with a godfather's pride before he looked up at the sky, wondering if his old friends are watching this moment wherever they are. "Will you be there to see your daughter becoming the princess she's meant to be for you...Doug, Delilah?" he thought, thinking about his old friends.

"Come on, come on!" barked Toothless as he came to Hiccup and nuzzled him. "I'm ready with my fin! Can we go flying now?"

Hiccup chuckled again and he, Shadow, and Winter jumped into the crowd and knocked some more Vikings down, wanting to go flying as the former had his new tail fin fitted and eagerly looked at his friends. Sarah, Hiccup, Astrid, and Zenna all shared a hearty laugh as they and the other teens eagerly got on their dragons and prepared to fly while everyone else backed up to give them room to take off.

"You ready?" Hiccup asked Toothless, his Night Fury nodding before they took off and looked around Berk with the others following and Sarah and Zenna flying side-by-side along with Stryka, Winter, and Shadow with him.

"This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow up here are even more so," Hiccup narrated one last time they all flew around Berk, excited for the future of the Vikings' home as the dragons and Vikings below cheered and roared happily.

"However, with the help of a very special princess and her incredible family, that all changed. Now, the only upsides we have are the ones we have now come to view as pets, friends, and family. While other places have ponies or parrots and she rules over people and Pokemon from another world she calls home, she now rules over what we now have...Dragons!*" Hiccup, Zenna and Sarah all flew up into the air with their dragons as Toothless, Stryka, Winter, Shadow and their flock let out their proud roars together.

Epilogue

All too soon, it was time for Sarah and her family to return to their homeworld. With the new additions of Reshiram (with Sarah riding on him this time), Wyveon and his friends (the former wanting to fly alongside his new family), and the dead Night Fury couple's egg offspring (safely in her second satchel), the Dragon Eye safety in her personals satchel and dragon pack, the princess and her godfather returned his team and the majority of her Pokemon back in their Pokeballs for the trip home. Tsukumaro ended up having to travel with Nebby while Solar occupied the Night Lights (since they wanted to take a ride on him, especially given Ruffrunner's continued habit of falling asleep mid-flight).

The Vikings and dragons in the village all gathered to see her off as she prepared to say her last goodbyes to them before they had to go home.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye," said Hiccup with a sad smile as he and Zennna spoke with her.

"Yeah, it's been quite a journey," nodded Sarah knowingly. "I'm glad I got to meet you guys and your friends and share with it."

"Do you have to go?" asked Zenna. "Why don't you stay here for a little longer and help us continue to prepare for the future?"

"Sorry, Zenna, but we can't. My kingdom still needs me and Alola is part of my future; you've all grown so much in such a short span of time since we've arrived and I can't leave my home unprotected for too long nor continue to go along your path. Besides, with everything that's happened and how much you've endured, I think Berk is in good hands with you two and the others along with your dragons."

Astrid nodded as she and the other teens along with Gothi came over to say goodbye as well. "That's true, you have your duties and we have ours. You've been a great friend, Sarah. We'll miss you," she smiled.

Then, she translated for Gothi as she drew on the ground, "And, Gothi says, 'I know that our paths will cross again one day and whenever you decide to return, we'll be here, we'll be waiting'."

"I'll keep that in mind, Gothi. Thanks," Sarah smiled as she and the Viking elder shared a parting hug.

"You are always welcome among our people. Thank you, Princess," added Stoick with a friendly smile, he and Gobber bowing to her as they joined them.

"Please, call me, Sarah," the princess chuckled, making the two share a small laugh.

"You take care, Sarah, you hear?" smiled Gobber in amusement. "Just don't cause too much trouble to make us have to come and save you from your own war."

"Just don't do anything crazy and die by your wacky uncle's hands before we do or we'll show you what," smirked Snotlout as Fishlegs and the twins nodded in agreement, sharing his smirk.

"I know, I'm just glad to know you'll be okay. But, if you ever need me," replied Sarah, handing them six Wrist Coms (two for them and four for their friends that she made while they were recovering) and placed the first two on Hiccup and Zenna's right wrists. "...just call or head up north. You'll know my island home when you see it, I'll be waiting."

"Right. Thanks for everything, Sarah," smiled Fishlegs.

"You've really helped to open our eyes on the dragons," Tuffnut added. "I don't know where'd we be without you to set all of us straight."

"It's gonna suck without you but I guess that's what comes with being an awesome hero," nodded Ruffnut.

"I know, I'll miss you, too. Again, if you need me, you'll know where to find us."

With that said, the Viking teens, their dragons, Stoick, Gobber, and some of the other Vikings and dragons gave heartfelt nuzzles and hugs as Berk's denizens all said goodbye to the princess and her family while she and her godfather took their places on Reshiram and Nebby and the rest prepared to leave. Soon, they flew off for home with the Vikings and the dragons continuing to wave and say goodbye, seeing their new friends and allies flying off into the setting sun until they were out of sight.

"Bye, Sarah!" called Toothless, still waving his tail to them.

It had been a wild and trying time for Sarah and her family when they returned home and were greeted by their friends and their families including the Melemele Islanders, all of them happy to see that they were able to return safe and sound. They were all thrown for a major loop from being in the presence of Reshiram when they saw her riding on him along with Wyveon, their new dragon companions, and the Cryoceros, Orcrown, and Infernoble couples.

Burnet and Kukui, in particular, were astonished to see the seven new Pokemon as they had never seen anything like them before. None of their colleagues and friends had also heard or seen them before so they could only imagine how they, including Professor Oak, would react to finding out about those new Pokemon in Sarah's care.

Her friends and her adopted parents, however, were taken in by the new additions as they looked them over and connected with them. Nikki, Lillie, Lana, and Mallow cooed over how cute the Buffalord couple was as they purred happily under their touch along with the Night Fury eggs Sarah had shown them.

The boys wanted to know what happened during her and her family's time at Berk and she and Tsukumaro told them everything from experiencing the Dragon Wars that went on for 300 years for the first time to the revelation that the Red Death's tyrannical reign over all of Dragonkind throughout that time. This shocked and horrified their audience and while they thought they were insane to go through such an ordeal, they were filled with nothing but even more admiration for all of them, and especially Sarah.

Sarah even went through the trouble of telling Officer Jenny, Hala, Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba about her idea of a conservation project for the Night Fury and Buffalord dragon species after learning of their endangerment in addition to that of the Cryoceros, Orcrown, and Infernoble couples with the end of the Ice Age and growing Climate Change destroying their homes and with the loss of their species.

They were all touched by this and felt sorry for the endangered dragons and Pokemon so they agreed to push for her proposed project which she was only too happy to hear. As she and Tsukumaro continued their story with their Pokemon helping to explain everything, they finally got to the point where it was revealed that she, Winter, and Shadow were now the new Dragon Princess and Alpha Dragons, and once again, they were filled with nothing but admiration now mixed with praise for the trio.

Even Ash and the Pokemon Schoool gang couldn't help but feel elated when they were shown her new Dragon Heart Scepter and were introduced to the newest additions to her family.

While this was an experience that nobody in their family would ever forget, Shadow, Winter, and the other dragons with them (sans their new additions) felt like they've changed a lot by returning to Berk and confronting what had been haunting them for years. The journey to usher in and bring peace to two unlikely people who had been at each other's throats for three centuries but were forced to do so by one common threat deadlier than either of them was not easy and they had to go through many struggles along with their rider such as dealing with prejudice, having to hide out to protect themselves, even nearly experiencing death before and during everyone's efforts to kill the Red Death in the final battle.

They now had a new understanding of the Vikings that were forced to fight to save themselves and they now see them as allies who were just like them when the Red Death's machinations were at play.

While they didn't feel any older, they now felt wiser from the entire journey. Berk was looking at a brighter future because of them, their family, and Sarah as they all took the first step and chose to return despite their previous misgivings. It was a wild adventure they'll never forget for they're no longer just dragons to everybody else after everything they went through, they are the Dragons of Berk.
