Ok, here is Chapter 4 of Double Sided 4. I have to explain something

This is the timeline:

Double Sided 1 is set a week or two AFTER Dragons Defenders of Berk

Double Sided 2 is set 3 years after DS1, which places it around season 2 or 3 of RTTE.

Double Sided 3 is set 5 years after DS2, and sorta takes place after an altered HTTYD2, where Stoick survived because Toothless wasn't there to be mind controlled.

Double Sided 4 is set mear moments after the ending of DS3.

Ok, now that is cleared up for everyone, let's get right into...

CHAPTER 4: AS OLD AS FOREVER


Toothless stepped back into the teleportation room. He walked around the chamber. Eventually, he stumbled upon a big pile of dust, with something poking out of it.

Toothless slowly used his paws to remove all the dust, revealing a singed Night Fury skull, and that skull had two cords attached to it. Toothless dropped the skull in disgust. He gingerly picked it up and examined it.

"There are two events in everybody's life that nobody remembers, two moments experienced by every living thing. And yet...no one remembers anything about them," Toothless said to himself and slowly positioned the skull so he could see into the eye sockets.

"Nobody remembers being born, and nobody remembers dying. Is that why we always stare into the eye sockets of the skull, because we're asking? What was it like? Does it hurt? Are you still scared?" Toothless said to himself while staring into the eye sockets of the Night Fury skull. He glanced off to the side and saw text written in the dust.

"Bird? What does a bird have to do with anything? Are their birds here? What am I supposed to do with a bird? Eat it? Throw it off the side of the castle? Pet it until its feathers fall off?" Toothless says to himself while staring at the message. Suddenly, a loud clanging noise comes from the walls and a wind gust blows the message and dust away.

Toothless looks up to find that one of the walls has opened up, revealing a staircase. He quickly went over to the staircase and started going up, taking the Night Fury skull with him.

Toothless made it to the top to find himself at the highest point in the castle. He laid the skull on the very edge of the tower and started walking around.

"There has to be something I'm missing, and I don't think it's good," Toothless said while look around. He quickly went back down the stairs, forgetting about the skull.


Toothless was walking down a hallway, trying to find something, then he heard a loud noise from behind him. He turned around and went to check it out and found another staircase.

He quickly descended the staircase to find a door, marked ROOM T. He opened the door only to find a stone wall behind it. Toothless laid one of his paws on the wall with a sigh.

"Hello? Is someone there? Hello!?" Toothless asked and tried moving the wall, only to find it solid. He sighed.

"It's a trap. A nasty lure and a trap," Toothless said and slowly made his way back up to the very top of the castle, where the skull still sits. He looks up at the stars and tries to find his position, only to find nothing.

"I've been following a bunch of fish laid out for me in a trail. I know how to move that wall. So long as I do not run out of truths," Toothless said and started pacing around.

"But what I really want to know is...Who's been messing with the stars? They're all in the wrong places. For this time zone anyways, and I know I didn't time travel to get here. I can feel time travel like an itch on my neck. But if I did not know better, I would probably say I've time traveled 7,000 years into the future. But I do know better, so who moved the stars?" Toothless wondered and growled as the smell of burning flesh hit his nose. He waited and heard footsteps slowly getting closer.

Nightmare T reached out one of his burnt paws and was about to touch Toothless when...

"The legend, a very long time ago, way before the Great War, the Dragons knew it was coming, like a storm on the wind. And then there was a legend, of the ultimate warrior. A dragon as black as night, with eyes as green as grass, half human half dragon, and it had the ability to control lightning and glow with the fire of a trillion suns. But which side would it be on? Would it bring peace or destruction? Was it real or a fantasy?" Toothless says and Nightmare T freezes, waiting for a bit more. Toothless smirked and turned around.

"I confess, I know the legend is real, I know what it is and where it is. I confess... I'm afraid" Toothless said and ran off. Nightmare T faded away and the entire castle started shaking.

The shaking caused the skull to fall off of the edge and land in the water with the other Night Fury skulls.


Toothless made his way back to ROOM T and found that there was now no stone wall behind the door. But now, there was a long hallway.

He slowly started walking down the hallway, an orange light shining from the other end.

He made it to the other end of the hallway and found himself in a decent sized room, and one of the walls was made of a crystal-like material. And behind it, were the words HOME. The words faded and Toothless realized something.

"Of course, the last scribble on the board. What else could it be? Berk. One truth away," Toothless said and laid his hand on the wall, getting a feel for the material.

"Its Death Song amber, 500 times stronger than diamond and Gronckle Iron. 20 feet thick, no way out," Toothless said to himself and then remember the message in the dust. He turned around with a sigh.

"Bird?" Toothless said to himself and started thinking. And then it hit him like a ton of bricks, so hard that he froze on the spot.

Toothless was then back in the Great Hall, or rather, a fake Great Hall. Every dragon had a mind room, a place they could spend minutes thinking, while in reality, time was going a lot slower.

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MISSED?! NOW I REMEMBER! ALWAYS HER! EXACTLY HER!" Toothless screeched and sent a plasma blast flying at a chair, burning it to ashes. Toothless then started running around, freaking out.

"I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS! I CAN'T! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME? WHY IS IT NEVER ANYBODY ELSES TURN?! WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT ME?! CAN'T I JUST LOSE? JUST THIS ONCE! EASY! It would be easy, so easy. Just tell whoever wants to know...all about the legend and the truth," Toothless said while collapsing in the fireplace, the fire not burning him because it's not real.

Meanwhile, in reality, Nightmare T was slowly making his way towards Toothless's unconscious body.

Back in Toothless' mind, Toothless was screeching and running around.

"IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR! WHY CAN'T I JUST LOSE!?" Toothless yelled and fired off another plasma blast, causing the giant golden dragon statue to plummet to the ground and shatter into bits.

Toothless then looked over at the wall to see that an imaginary version of Hiccup has drawn on the wall the word NO.

"But I can remember, Hiccup. You don't understand, I can remember it all, every time," Toothless said and looked at where the imaginary Hiccup was, only to find an empty spot. Toothless then collapsed while crying.

"And you'll still be gone, and I don't even know who I am..." Toothless said and curled up on the ground, crying loudly.

"W-Whatever I do, you still won't be there, and I still won't know who I am," Toothless said to himself and curled up so much he was basically just a ball of black scales. He cried loudly.

"Toothless, you are not the only person who ever lost someone or didn't know just who they are. It's the story of everyone and everybody. Get over it, beat it, break free," Hiccup said and laid a hand on Toothless's side. Toothless looked up at Hiccup's smiling and warm face.

"Toothless, it's time. Get up off your ass and win. Because you are Toothless Haddock the Night Fury, my best friend and brother. Win," Hiccup said before fading away. Toothless took in a deep breath. He knew that the Hiccup that just talked to him was a fake, but it still meant everything in the world to him.

Back in reality, Toothless got up and faced Nightmare T, who was at the other end of the hallway.

"Hello again. Sorry, no more confessions. Only...the truth," Toothless said and turned back to the Death Song amber wall. He raised one of his paws and sent it flying into the amber wall, causing a loud CRUNCH to be heard. Toothless wasn't using his plasma because he had no available shots, and it would take a few minutes for them to recharge.

"AWWWW, the legend is a very dangerous secret, and it needs to be KEPT!" Toothless yelled and used his tail and paw to hit the amber wall, only resulting in his tail fin device being damaged even more.

Then lightning started coming off of Toothless' body in droves, while his spine and his nose started glowing a bright blue.

"So, I'll tell you nothing, nothing at all. Instead, I'm gonna do something far worse," Toothless said and punched the wall again. His paws were bleeding now and he was panting heavily.

"I'm gonna get out of here and find whoever put me here in the first place. And whatever they're trying to do, I'll stop it!" Toothless yelled and punched the wall again. His paws where bleeding intensely now, with small bits of the amber wedged in between his scales and cutting them off. His entire body was shaking, with every bunch the wall was hit with a lightning bolt.

"Ohhh, this might take a little while. So, since you want me to tell you a story-" Toothless said and then punched the wall again, a massive lightning bolt coming from his body and entering the wall.

"The Brothers Grim, lovely humans. I met them during one teleport," Toothless said and hit the wall again, a loud crack coming from his beaten and bloody paws.

"According to them, there was this emperor and he asks the shepherds boy, 'how many seconds...in eternity'," Toothless managed to say and punched one last time before Nightmare T's paws wrapped around his neck and face, burning him inside and out.

Then, after severally wounding Toothless, Nightmare T faded away. Toothless lay on the ground, whimpering and whining. He was no longer glowing and no lightning was coming from him.

He was dying.


Toothless slowly started crawling up through the tower to the room he had arrived in.

Toothless was dying. Very slowly, but he was. And nothing could save him.

"P-people always g-g-get it wrong with N-Night Furies. We t-take forever to d-die. E-Even if we are too injured to survive and heal, e-every cell in our b-bodies keep t-trying. Dying p-properly can take days. I think, i-in my current c-condition, it will t-take me a day and a-a half to r-reach the top of the tower," Toothless thought as he slowly climbed up the stairs, a trail of blood behind him.

"I s-should have known from t-the beginning. Of course, t-the creature from my own nightmares, this place...is my own bespoken torture chamber. I-Intended for m-me only. A-All those skulls, i-in the water; how c-could there be other p-prisoners, in m-my hell?" Toothless thought as he struggled to walk through a hallway.

"The answer o-of course is t-that their where n-never any other p-prisoners. And t-the stars, they weren't in the w-wrong place, and i-i haven't time traveled, I've j-just been here a very...very long time," Toothless thought as he crawled to the room he had begun this little journey in.

Toothless slowly crawled over to a control console. He found two wires and a lever.

"E-every room resets, e-every room reverts to its original condition. L-Logically, the teleporter should do the same. T-Teleporter, fancy word, b-basically a 3D p-printer, and y-yes, I know what t-that is. E-Expect they break down l-living matter and information, and t-transmit, all you have to do, is a-add energy. T-The room has reset, reverted to its original condition from the moment I arrived, w-which means, there's a c-copy of me still in the hard drive. M-Me, exactly a-as I was, when I first a-arrived here, 7,000 years ago," Toothless thought and slowly picked up the two wires. He attached them to the side of his head.

"A-And all I h-have to find i-is some energy. A-And all you need for energy, i-is something to burn," Toothless thought and put his paw on the lever. He pushed the lever. Toothless SCREAMED in pain as his entire body was being burned inside and out.

Toothless collapsed as the teleporter started back up. Toothless then used his claws to weakly scribble the word BIRD into the dust.

"H-How long c-can I k-k-keep doing this, H-Hiccup? B-burning the old me, t-t-to make a new one," Toothless thought before everything went dark. Toothless went limp and slowly his entire body faded away into dust, only leaving his skull.

The teleport finished, and Toothless coughed loudly before opening his eyes.

"HELLO?" The New Toothless yelled and looked around before stepping out and grabbing a clump of dust in his paw.

"If you think because Hiccup's gone I'm weak, then you understand very little. If you were any part in killing him, and you aren't afraid, then you understand nothing at all. So, for your own sake, understand THIS. My name is Toothless and I'm coming to find you...and I will never, ever stop," The New Toothless said and left the room, while the skull of his predecessor lay in the dust.

Toothless kept doing this, living and then dying, over and over again. Always getting to room T and always getting fatally injured in the same room. He continued looping and looping over and over. All the time, he was telling the same story.

"…how many seconds, in eternity? And the shepherd's boy says there's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to cut it and an hour to go around it. Every 100 years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. AND WHEN THE ENTIRE MOUNTAIN IS CHIZZLED AWAY, the FIRST SECOND OF ETERNITY WILL HAVE PASSED! You must think that's a hell of a long time! Personally, I think that's one hell of a..." Toothless had said, always getting closer to finishing, and then, finally, nearly 4 billion years had passed and he finally finished the story.

"BIRD!" Toothless roared and slammed his bloody paws into the Death Song amber, a large lightning bolt coming from his body and entering the wall. Suddenly, the entire wall cracked and fell apart as a bright light shone through.

Toothless turned around and watched as Nightmare T faded into dust. Toothless smirked.

"Personally, I think that's one hell of a bird," Toothless said and then turned back around to the escape hole. He quickly ran through the open escape hole to find himself on the green hills near Berk.

He turned back around and watched as the portal he went through slowly closed. And in its place, was a small metal plate, with the symbol of the Red Death etched into it.

Toothless then looked down into a stream nearby and what he saw shocked him. His spine and nose were glowing blue, while his eyes where glowing green with a small blue tint to them. Also, he had lightning bolts coming off of him in waves.

Suddenly, he heard someone running and he turned to his left to see a little kid in a red shirt looking up at him curiously.

"Go to the village, find somebody important, and tell them I'm back. And if they ask who I am, tell them I came back from the other world," Toothless said and the kid nodded before running off, Toothless then walked back over to the iron plate. He picked it up and looked at it with a smirk. Electricity from his paws hit the plate and the ground.

"You can probably still hear me, so just between ourselves...you got the prophecy wrong. The legend isn't half human. Nothing is half human. The legend, destined to kill the Red Death and stand on her ashes and become alpha of all dragons...is ME," Toothless said and let the plate fall to the ground while he looked up at the midday sun.
