Stoick and Valka had managed to make their way to the main power generator and they did discover that in fact Johann was telling the truth. Valka immediately began to disarm the explosive attached to it, thankfully there was no time but of course that means it could be actively by remote control.
"Done it," said Valka as she successfully disarmed the explosive.
"That's a relief," said Stoick.
"Dad, Mum, do you read me?" said Hiccup's voice.
Immediately their eyes lit up and Valka raised her Morpher. "Hiccup, is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me," said Hiccup. "I wish we had time by happy reunion, but I'm afraid we've got a major problem."
Stoick groaned. "Can't things stay peaceful for just five minutes?"
"What seems to be the matter?" Valka asked.
"It's Drago, he's attacking the city, this was nothing more than a distraction," said Hiccup frantically.
Stoick looked annoyed, he should have seen this coming. "Blast it. We're not in the shape to combat against Drago."
"The civilians are already making their way down to the bunkers, but many of them are finding it tricky with Drago on a rampage," said Astrid.
"We need to get down there," said Hiccup.
Stoick nodded in agreement. "Go, Val you better get down there was well. I'll try and get things reorganised down on my end."
Valka nodded. "Good luck."
"You too," said Stoick as he watched to leave.
Hiccup and the others grabbed what transport they could and headed straight down to the war zone. They had managed to meet Fishlegs and Eret on the way and Valka said that she would meet them in the battle zone.
"So do we have a plan?" Snotlout asked.
"I don't know I'm making it up as I go," Hiccup admitted.
"That's not reassuring," Fishlegs whimpered.
"Not as if any amount of planning prevented us from being overrun," Astrid pointed out.
"But we've never officially defeated Drago in battle," Heather pointed out.
"First time for everything," said Ragnar.
"We can't underestimate him, he is more desperate now than he's ever been," said Eret.
"I say that we just go in there and kick some butt," said Tuffnut.
"Right behind you on that one, bro," said Ruffnut.
"At the moment our first priority is making sure that the civilians are safe," said Hiccup plainly. "Anything else we encounter is secondary."
"You heard the man," said Ragnar.
"And what do we do have we do come face-to-face with Drago?" Fishlegs asked.
"Try and survive," said Astrid.
"Very reassuring," Snotlout grumbled.
Astrid looked at Hiccup as he drove a transport she was looking increasingly concerned.
"So, this is it, huh," he said with a heavy voice.
"So it is," said Hiccup with an equally heavy voice.
"I suppose we knew that this day would come, though I didn't imagine it to be quite like this."
"I don't think that any of us did."
"When I heard that you felt the window, I feared the worst. You can't imagine how worried I was when I for that you were…" She stopped herself. "I don't know what I would do without you."
Hiccup remained quiet. "We both know that anything could happen in truth is I don't know what I would do without you. All we can do is try and make sure that doesn't happen."
That wasn't exactly what Astrid wanted here, but she also knew that he couldn't promise something he was unsure to keep. However, she was determined not to lose him and she didn't care what she had to do to make sure that it didn't happen.
Drago meanwhile was enjoying the devastation he was inflicting upon the city.
"To easy," he laughed.
He then heard the sounds of vehicles approaching and turned to find a transport vehicle had stopped. He wasn't surprised to find the power Rangers were exiting it, thought the Silver Ranger was missing, but he assumed that she would appear a little later.
"I see that Johann was unable to finish you off," said Drago. "I suppose I'm right in assuming that I will be expecting to hear from him any time soon."
"It ends here Drago," Hiccup announced.
"I couldn't agree with you more," Drago glared. "You Rangers have been mighty thorn in my side for these past few months. I suppose I should congratulate you on destroying my empire to the bone, but right now I have a strong urge to utterly annihilate you."
"You're welcome to try," Snotlout challenged.
"Don't lob me in with those failures that were my generals," Drago growled. "I believe each and every single one of you were members are previous confrontation."
"I seem to remember that you were retreating," Astrid smirked.
"I think we both know that retreat is no longer an option in these circumstances. Rest assured I will take every single bit of pleasure I can get from annihilating you and this city."
"What do you even hope to accomplish?" Ragnar asked. "Even if you do destroy this city and conquer this planet, there's no guarantee that the rest of your empire will fall in line."
"Once they see me destroy their last bit of hope, they will."
"That's wishful thinking," said Heather.
"Then perhaps I'm just merely taking the pleasure of destroying you all before my empire collapses."
Eret then stepped up. "I won't let you do that."
"Ah, Eret, I was wondering when I would see you," Drago growled. "Make sure that your destruction is the most painful I can administer for your betrayal."
"I'm just sorry that I didn't do it sooner," Eret snarled.
"You think you stand a chance?"
"I don't know, but I would rather stand with them than with you."
Drago glared. "Then you shall fall. Attack!"
The Drakenoids then immediately charged at them and soon the power Rangers found themselves engaged in combat. Eret summoned his daggers and immediately charged in striking any Drakenoid that he could reach while avoiding their claws. The twins were fighting back to back using the long reach of the spears to strike any enemy that got too close.
Ragnar and Heather were working perfectly in harmony, Heather was attacking long-range with her whip striking down any Drakenoid she could get our hands on. At the same time Ragnar was blocking any Drakenoid and moved in close with his shield struck them hard with it with every opportunity got.
Astrid, Snotlout and Fishlegs were fighting a close tightknit circle using their weapons to overpower any Drakenoid. Astrid was using a combination of speed and strength that completely overwhelmed any enemy that was foolish enough to get in her way. Snotlout was using pure power striking a Drakenoid with his mace and forcing it to crash into another group. Fishlegs on the other hand was on the defensive, allowing Drakenoid to getting close and then strike them down with his hammer.
Hiccup meanwhile was fighting against Drago sword against bullhook and it looked as if they were evenly matched. Hiccup was using his small size and speed of his advantage against Drago's pure strength.
"Are you gonna keep on dancing around all day?" Drago roared as slammed his bullhook into the ground.
"You fight your way I'll fight mine," said Hiccup as he immediately charged back in and slammed his sword at Drago.
Drago raised his bullhook blocking the attack and then he struck Hiccup hard in the stomach with his prosthetic arm. That blow alone knocked the wind right out of Hiccup and he looked up to fine Drago standing directly over him.
"Without you the other Rangers will fall," he said as he raised his bullhook, ready to deal the final blow.
However, something blocked around his bullhook and with the corner of his eye he found Valka standing there behind him. She had used her staff to catch his weapon before he slammed it down onto her son.
"I won't let you hurt my son," she spat.
"Then I'll hurt you," he said and immediately swung his prosthetic arm towards her.
Valka saw the attack coming quickly ducked and then she jumped into the air and struck him in the face with her staff. The attack only dazed him slightly and he quickly retaliated by swinging his bullhook towards her.
Valka was still in midair when he did this and quickly raised her staff in order to block against the attack, but the impact did cause it to fall to the ground. Drago was about to finish her off, but Hiccup then jumped into action and then dealt a few quick swipes with his sword against his chest.
"You dare," Drago glared.
"You've done enough damage to this galaxy, it's time to put an end to you once and for all," said Hiccup. "Dragon Knight Armour Mode!"
Hiccup was soon wearing his armour and was more than ready to combat against Drago.
"You'll need more than a wardrobe change to beat me," said Drago.
"This armour is both fashionable and functional," said Hiccup and then he charged in.
The children then clashed once again in a massive shockwave was created from the collision, it was so powerful that it knocked every single Drakenoid off their feet and knocked the wind out of the other Rangers as well.
"I won't be beaten by the likes of you!" Drago roared.
"Then I'm sorry to disappoint you!" Hiccup yelled.
Then with one good push Hiccup was able to break through his guard and then slammed his sword straight down on top of him. Drago was able to move out of the way just in the nick of time, but the sword slammed down his prosthetic shattering into pieces.
Drago howled in pain as he grabbed what remained of his prosthetic. "You think you've won?"
"It looks that way," said Hiccup.
"I still have one ace up my sleeve," said Drago through gritted teeth.
Suddenly appearing out of nowhere was a zord, this one was quite large and it had what appeared to be tusks sticking out of his face. Drago teleported and landed in the cockpit and then started demolishing buildings.
"Looks like it's megazord time," said Astrid.
"Agreed," Hiccup nodded.
"Dragon Spirits arise!" they yelled as they fostered their hands into the air.
Immediately they transformed into their Dragon Spirit forms and flew into the air.
"Dragon Spirits combined!" They then started too combined to form the Dragon Emperor Megazord. "Dragon Emperor Megazord!"
The two zords were roughly the same size and the immediately began to engage one another in battle. It also seemed as if they were evenly matched as they clash blade against blade, but Drago had no concerns of any collateral damage which gave him a slight advantage.
"Let's see if you can handle this," said Drago as he pressed a button.
Immediately a burst of energy from out of his zords tusks and slammed into the Emperor Megazord and demolished two buildings in the process.
"Looks like he's not too concerned about collateral damage," said Ragnar.
"We need to put an end to him before he destroys the entire city," said Heather.
They quickly moved in and once again they clashed, but with the same result. Became painfully obvious that they could match power with power and Drago had the advantage of attacking long-distance.
"Any ideas?" Snotlout asked.
"We need to put everything we have into one attack," said Hiccup.
"Will it be enough?" Astrid asked.
"It's has to be."
"But if we do that we couldn't risk leaving ourselves vulnerable," Fishlegs pointed out.
"If we don't do something fast destroy the city," said Valka.
"Nothing ventured nothing gained," said Eret.
"We're doing it," said Hiccup firmly.
That was all that everyone wanted to hear and soon they began to channel as much power as they could into their zord.
"Think that I will allow you to finish me off?" Drago roared and fired another beam.
The beams struck the Emperor Megazord, but it stood strong and continued to charge up.
"Now! United Dragon Spirit Blade!" Hiccup yelled.
He then slammed the blade with as much power they could towards Drago, who quickly raised his sword to block it. However, the blade went straight through his sword sliced right through one of his tusks, but it was still standing.
"It didn't work," said Astrid horrified.
They had used everything they had in that one attack and now they barely had the strength to take a single step forward. They were now utterly vulnerable and they all knew it.
"I'm sorry," said Hiccup.
"Don't be, because I think it was enough!" Snotlout pointed.
They turned and found that he was right something weird was going on with Drago's zord. Sparks were flying all over the place and smoke was shooting out of its joints.
"What's going on?" Ruffnut asked.
"Don't look at me," said Tuffnut.
"I think when we sliced that tusk we started a chain reaction," said Ragnar. "Remember those beams divided us, I get the impression that the tusks were storing the energy not just firing it."
"Are you saying that thing is going to blow?" Eret asked.
Ragnar nodded. "Yeah, but I don't know how big the explosion will be."
"It could take down the entire city," said Valka horrified.
Hiccup bit his lip. "How much power do we have left?"
"We're already taxed," said Astrid.
She was right of them were practically exhausted from that last attack and it was there spirits that were powering up the Megazord. Hiccup, however, still had enough power to move the Megazord, but he can do anything else. Though he may not need to do anything else, if his plan works.
"Then there's only one thing left to do," said Hiccup.
"What's that?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup closed his eyes and then suddenly Astrid and the other Rangers found themselves flung out of the Megazord.
"Hiccup, what are you doing?" Astrid cried.
"Something crazy," he said.
He then immediately put everything he had left into the Megazord and began to charge at Drago's zord. Once he was closer he immediately grabbed it firmly in his large hands.
"What do you think you're hoping to accomplish?" Drago roared.
"I'm hoping to save everyone," said Hiccup.
He then immediately flapped his wings and took the two of them up into the air towards space. His entire body was screaming as he was channelling all the power he had left in this manoeuvre.
"Hiccup, don't do it," Astrid pleaded realising what he intended to do.
"If I don't then what all die," said Hiccup. "I'm sorry, I never wanted this to happen. I just want all of you to know that it has been an honour to serve with you."
Drago was trying desperately to free himself, but Hiccup grip was far too strong. Hiccup closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable and then suddenly there was a huge explosion.
On the ground, everyone could see the explosion just stood there in shock.
"No," said Astrid falling to her knees and Valka approached her sharing her grief.
"This can't be happening, this can't be happening," said Fishlegs shaking his head.
"Goodbye old friend," said Ragnar.
Every single one of them was in utter silence, none of the new what to say. They had not just lost their commander, but a very dear friend and a hero to every man woman and child on the planet.
With no other choice they soon made their way back to the command centre, everything was now under control in the last of the Drakenoid had been contained. Though no one was looking forward to inform the general that his son was gone.
"Who's going to tell him?" Ragnar asked.
"I should be the one," said Valka.
Astrid shook her head. "No, I'm second-in-command, it should be me."
Stoick was already outside meeting them and you are generally pleased, but there was no telling how long that would last when he heard the news.
"Welcome back," said Stoick smile. "I hear that you were able to take down Drago, on behalf of the Earth, I commend you for your heroic actions."
"Thank you, sir," said Astrid looking slightly uneasy. "But I have to report that Hiccup… he's…"
"Hold that thought lieutenant," said Stoick holding his hand out. "I think you see this before you give me any reports."
"But it's very urgent, sir," said Astrid.
"It'll have to wait."
Knowing there was no point in arguing with the general, Astrid and the others followed him and there were making their way to the wormhole control centre. All the while Astrid was wondering what was so important that Stoick denied listening to her report.
Once they entered their eyes immediately widened, because standing there was Toothless and Hiccup was laid out on the floor.
"Hiccup?" Astrid gasped in astonishment.
"No way," said Snotlout in disbelief.
"But how? Ragnar asked. "We thought he was causing the explosion."
"We don't know how, but somehow he was transported to Dragkon and landed right in front of Toothless here," said Stoick.
"I immediately transported him back here, I figured that you were all very concerned," said Toothless.
"More than a little," said Valka in utter relief.
"Is he going to be all right?" Fishlegs asked.
"A little shaken, but he can pull through," Stoick assured.
Hiccup opened his eyes and found himself in a medical ward, he was full of aches and pains he was still trying to puzzle how he got here. The last thing he remembered was bracing himself for the explosion and then everything went black.
"I see you're up," said a voice next to him.
Hiccup turned and found Toothless sitting at his bedside. "Toothless, what happened?"
"We were hoping you could tell us," said Toothless as he rose to his feet.
"When you mean?" Hiccup frowned.
"You just suddenly appeared right in front of me back on Dragkon," Toothless explained. "I brought you back here you've been in the medical ward for at least a week."
"A week?" Hiccup stared.
"You've missed quite a lot."
"I need to find Dad and Astrid," Hiccup groaned.
"You should be well enough to move around, but I'm afraid I'm going have to act as your chaperone," Toothless explained.
Hiccup was not going to argue, he wanted to know what had been going on since he was fast asleep. Toothless placed an arm around his shoulder and began to guide Hiccup to an observation deck and what he found was utterly shocking.
Berk was being repaired, but it wasn't only humans that were fixing things but other aliens. In fact there were too many for him to count, he could have sworn that he saw a few Drakenoids as well assisting.
"I knew it, I'm dead," said Hiccup in shock.
He then heard a laugh that sounded utterly familiar. "No, but you gave it your best shot."
Hiccup turned and found his father approaching him with a joyous look on his face. He wasn't alone either, the rest of his team were behind him and they looked relieved to see that he was alive and well, probably more so than he was.
"What happened?" Hiccup asked.
"Since you've been out, we've been busy repairing the city," Ragnar explained. "Surprisingly we got many volunteers from other planets, some of the workers are even those who we helped liberate."
"In addition the SPD has managed to crush what remains of Drago's empire and the beginning to begin the transition of establishing a presence, no doubt to make sure that no more dictators rise up to conquer the planet they helped liberate," Eret added.
"Earth will be joining them in a few years," Fishlegs added.
"It's all thanks to you," said Valka proudly.
Astrid then approached Hiccup and he was a little surprised to discover that her first move was to punch him hard in the shoulder.
"That was for scaring me," she said furiously.
"I suppose I deserve it," Hiccup shrugged.
Astrid then immediately pulled him into a kiss and a very deep embrace.
"So any ideas how I'm still alive?" Hiccup asked looking at the others.
"We're not sure, but ever since you appeared we can't seem to access our Morphers," said Heather.
"What? But how?" Hiccup frowned.
"It's possible that we used all the remaining power within our Morphers in the last battle," Ragnar deduced. "Though that still doesn't explain how you appeared on Dragkon, but I do have a theory. I believe that our Dragon Spirits sense that you are in danger and use what little power they had to transport you to Dragkon."
"A bit far-fetched," said Hiccup.
Astrid smiled. "I don't care how you survived, I'm just glad you did."
With the threat of Drago now gone everyone no longer had a reason to stay on Berk and so they began going their separate ways.
"You're going to join the SPD?" Hiccup asked looking at Eret.
"I want to start over and I think joining the SPD is an excellent way to do that," said Eret.
"I hear that you will be leaving us to Snotlout," said Ragnar.
Snotlout nodded. "I'm going to start my boxing career, I've already got some many offers."
"What about you two?" Heather asked looking at the twins.
"Oh, we're going to keep on testing weapons," said Tuffnut.
"It's about the only thing useful about us," said Ruffnut.
"Well I'm going to stay and help Ragnar with his research," said Heather as Ragnar wrapped an arm around her waist.
"We'll be sticking around too," said Hiccup as he did the same thing to Astrid. "We're going to help SPD establish a presence here on Earth."
"And this time I'm not going to lose you," Astrid smiled.
Everyone laughed and soon they began going their separate ways, they had saved the entire planet though not everyone realise that. Many people the planet had not realised that they had been brought into a galactic war and possibly was for the best. Still this conflict had made humanity stronger than ever and very soon the going to have more say in what was going on in their Galaxy.
