CHAPTER 5: PROTECTOR OF FOREVER


Hiccup was ready to go and find Toothless. He was wearing an upgraded version of his armor and he was carrying what the people of this time called a 'shotgun'.

When Hiccup had arrived at this time, he hadn't known where he was. Eventually, he met a farmer named Jackson, who just so happened to be a descendant of the Haddock family. He told Hiccup that it was now the year 2018 and that it has been over a thousand years since the age of Vikings and Dragons.

Jackson taught Hiccup how to use guns and more things about the modern time. Then, Hiccup had fallen into a depression. He had no friends in this time zone and he didn't even know if his brother was still alive.

Then around one week later, while Jackson had been cleaning Hiccup's armor, which had been left outside for weeks, he found a shard of a teleportation crystal.

He showed the crystal to Hiccup, who immediately started drawing up teleporter designs.

Around 1 month later, and the teleportation bracelet was finished. The bracelet would allow Hiccup to teleport to any time and place he pleased, while also giving him the ability to phase through walls.

Hiccup turned to Jackson, who smiled and handed Hiccup a bunch of ammo for the shotgun. The shotgun had been Jackson's but it was now Hiccup's.

"Thanks, Jackson, maybe one day I'll see you again," Hiccup said with a smile and Jackson frowned.

"I'm afraid that I'm too old. I will probably pass in the coming months," Jackson said and Hiccup frowned.

"Don't worry Jackson, you're only in your 60s. You should live to at least 75," Hiccup said and Jackson faked a smile. He secretly had a condition called cancer that he didn't want to tell Hiccup about.

Hiccup quickly made sure he had everything on him, his shotgun, ammo for said shotgun, grenades, teleportation bracelet. Yep, he had everything he needed. Hiccup smiled and activated the bracelet.

"I'm coming brother, just hold on," Hiccup said before teleporting, and Jackson smiled before hobbling back to his house.


Toothless walked through the forest, the green grass bending under his paws. He was making his way through the forest and to Berk.

Eventually, he made it to the back of the Haddock house, and he opened the back door. He slowly made his way inside and up the stairs. The interior was cold, meaning that no one had been inside here in a while.

He made his way over to his old bed and he ran his scaly paw over the stone surface, the coldness of the stone meeting the warmness of his scales.

Then, he heard the door open from downstairs and someone come in, or rather, three someones.

"Astrid, it can't be Hiccup or Toothless, they're trapped in the other dimension," Valka said to Astrid, who shook her head.

"That boy told me, though! What if they're back? What if one of them returned from the other dimension? Then..." Astrid said and Stoick coughed. Everyone looked at Stoick. Stoick pointed up at the loft, and they all looked up to see Toothless standing there and watching them.

"You're...you're back..." Everyone said under their breaths and Toothless quickly looked between them, not even making a facial expression.

"Yes, I am," Toothless said and Astrid just had to ask one question.

"Where's Hiccup?" Astrid asks and Toothless sighs while looking away.

"I...I don't know," Toothless said. He started retelling the entire story from his perspective. Every once in a while, when he got angry a huge lightning bolt came out of his scales and hit the wooden walls and floors.

"And then...I ended back here on Berk. And I told a child I found to go to the village and tell you guys I'm back," Toothless finished and Stoick, Valka, and Astrid all gasped.

"How long..." Astrid said and Toothless sighed before quickly dragging over a piece of stone. He did the calculations and math to figure out how long he was trapped. And then he came to a final conclusion.

"I was stuck in the loop for 4.2 billion years. Or rather, 4 billion years, 4 months, and 2 days," Toothless said after making sure he did the math right. Even he was shocked to figure out just how long he was stuck in the time loop.

And it only made him madder at the Red Death. She had ruined his life and separated him and Hiccup. Now, Toothless was ready to kill. He was ready to set aside his morals for just one day just to get revenge on the person who ruined his life.

Lightning was coming off of Toothless' body in droves, and his spine was glowing a bright blue. He took in a deep breath, and the lightning faded a bit and the blue glow on his spine became a darker color.

"We need to..." Toothless starts, but cannot finish as suddenly they hear thunder coming from outside. Toothless looks at everyone before running out the front door and to the source of the thunder.

He ran through the streets of Berk and eventually made it to an empty area of green hills, and on top of one of those hills was a portal.

Out of the portal, stepped two dragons. The Monstrous Nightmare and Deadly Nadder that had attacked Toothless before.

"We have come...to let you join in the ever-increasing group of people that have been freed by the Red Death, ruler and queen of ALL Dragons and eventually the ruler of the Earth itself," The Monstrous Nightmare said, his iron armor shining in the sunlight.

"I'M SORRY! But Berk and Earth are CLOSED today, so go back to the stinky pit of eel's you all crawled out of," Toothless yelled at the Monstrous Nightmare and Deadly Nadder. The Deadly Nadder hissed while the Monstrous Nightmare growled.

"I would NEVER allow one of those demons to touch MY beautiful scales," The Deadly Nadder said and Toothless growled while tilting his head.

"Oh, so we got one with an ego and one with a flame problem," Toothless said, taunting them. The two dragons growled and slowly started approaching Toothless.

Then, they froze and they're eyes went gray. Toothless look on at the two frozen dragons, confused. Then, the dragons unfroze and looked at Toothless with a vicious smile.

"KILL," The dragons said and charged Toothless. Toothless immediately started glowing and lightning started coming off of his body.

The two dragons jumped and prepared to slice out Toothless' throat, but Toothless roared causing two large lightning bolts to come off from Toothless' body and hit the two dragons.

The dragons collapsed right in front of Toothless, and Toothless walked over to the Deadly Nadder. He placed his paw on the Deadly Nadder's neck and he pinned her.

"You're going to tell your master this..." Toothless says and whispers something into the Deadly Nadder's ear. The Deadly Nadder starts whining and whimpering in fear.

"Now...GO!" Toothless roars and the two dragons weakly created a portal and run through it.

Toothless took a few deep breaths to calm down, while everyone around him is looking at him shocked. They had never seen Toothless so angry in what seemed like forever.

"Toothless..." Valka said, moving forward to try and calm down the angry Night Fury. Toothless only looked back at the rest of the Berkians, including the Dragon Riders, with a stern angry look.

"Meet me at the Great Hall, five minutes," Toothless said and quickly ran off to the Great Hall. Meanwhile the Twins watched on confused.

"Wait? No one told us T was back?" Tuffnut says and Ruffnut scoffs.

"No one tells us anything anymore," Ruffnut says and they both walk off, scoffing.


Everyone slowly made their way up to the Great Hall. They all found Toothless etching something into the stone floor.

"Toothless! What are you doing!?" Stoick shouted and Toothless looked over his drawing, keeping a stern face.

"Drawing. What does it look like? Anyway..." Toothless says and continues sketching a pattern into the stone. Eventually, Toothless steps aside and everyone looked at what Toothless drew.

It was not one, not two, but three sketches and designs for equipment. One was an upgraded version of Toothless's armor, which Toothless had lost during one teleport. Another was a device designed to track and find certain humans. And the third was a boat designed to travel universes and time and space.

"I need this boat built sometime in the next three days. I need this armor finished before then. And I need this human tracker finished today," Toothless said and pointed to the highly detailed schematics.

Fishlegs, Gobber, and Astrid all looked at the blueprints and thought for a moment.

"The tracker could probably be built in under an hour. We have all the parts in Gobber's shed. As for the boat, that will be tough but could happen. And for an upgraded and rebuilt version of your armor, that will be nearly impossible. It took three years to build the previous version, and to build a new version and have it done in 3 days...well, that's just impossible," Fishlegs said and Gobber nodded. Toothless sighed and looked at the blueprints.

"I guess I'll have to settle for what I've got. Okay! I need a basket of fish, a bed, all the parts to build the human tracker, some tools, and someone to give hug me once I'm done," Toothless said and everyone knew Toothless was serious, but they couldn't help but chuckle at Toothless's request.

"Ok, get him a basket of fish and the parts for the human tracker, along with some tools. You'll sleep on your old stone slab bed, and Astrid will give you a hug and Fishlegs will help you build the tracker," Stoick says and Toothless nods before turning to Fishlegs. Stoick then quickly grabs Astrid and moves her aside.

"Astrid, I need you to secretly keep a close eye on Toothless. I fear something is wrong with him...he doesn't look healthy, sane, or calm. I fear he might...snap," Stoick whispered into Astrid's ear and Astrid nodded.

"You got it chief. And what am I supposed to do if he...snaps?" Astrid whispers back and Stoick takes a moment to think.

"Try calming him down like Hiccup would, and if that doesn't work, then, well, get as far away from him as possible. To the ends of the Earth if you have too," Stoick says and Astrid tilts her confused.

"Why would I run from Toothless? He's practically a big softy on the inside, you know how he acts," Astrid says and Stoick sighs.

"And hidden beneath those layers of cute and cuddly, is a broken and mentally damaged Night Fury. If he snaps like he has before, then it will be bad," Stoick says and Astrid gets even more confused.

"Did before? What?" Astrid asks and Stoick sighs.

"Around a month or two before Nightmare T got out of Toothless's head, Hiccup, Toothless, and I were all visiting an empty island to find supplies. And something happened on the trip that made Toothless snap; Hiccup got hurt by a falling tree. He was alright, it was just a bruised and sprained ankle, but Toothless snapped. We had to hide in the caves for a week until Toothless finally got control over himself. When we left that island, it was a smoldering wreck and there were no grass or trees to be seen. I'm afraid that after everything the Red Death's done to him...he might snap again," Stoick explains and Astrid nods.

"Ok, but chief? How can I calm an extremely angry Night Fury down?" Astrid asks and Stoick smiles kindly.

"Talk to him, you're part of his family. That's what he told me one night..." Stoick said and remembered one night long ago...


It had been just two months since Nightmare T had been sent away, and they didn't know what to do. They were all scared and terrified of Toothless now, and Toothless was hurting inside and out.

Eventually, Stoick decided he needed to talk to Toothless before his son did. He knew Hiccup would fix things or at least try to fix things, but he at least needed to help Toothless.

It was late at night. Stoick was doing his last walk throughout the village before heading home. And on his way home, he saw Toothless walking back to the Haddock house.

"Toothless? What are you doing out this late at night?" Stoick asks and Toothless sighs before coming over to sit next to Stoick.

"I-I couldn't sleep, and I'm nocturnal. Means I'm awake at night. You know? It's kinda in the name," Toothless said and Stoick nodded. They continued walking side by side towards the Haddock house.

Stoick then realized that this was his CHANCE to talk to the Night Fury before Hiccup did.

"Toothless, I've been meaning to ask you...what's wrong?" Stoick asks and Toothless sighs while looking down.

"I'll tell you, so long as you PROMISE to NEVER tell another living soul, ever," Toothless says and Stoick nods. Toothless sighs and then starts.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day, Nightmare T might return and kill one of you guys. You're all my family, the only people I have left in my life. You all mean the world to me and I-I haven't told anyone else this, but I sorta see Hiccup as a brother and you as my...adoptive father. I never got to know my real father, but maybe you could be my adoptive father, or at least a father figure. Hiccup, Astrid, you, the Twins, Fishlegs, and Gobber; you're all my family, and you guys mean the world to me and... I'm afraid I'm gonna lose you guys," Toothless says all in one sentence before taking in three deep breaths. He then turns to Stoick, who is smiling.

"Don't worry Toothless, Hiccup and I are not going anywhere anytime soon, I can promise you that. And, to be fair, I would like Hiccup to have a bigger brother, to watch over him," Stoick said and Toothless smiled. They walked home and never told anyone else about that conversation.


"Please do not tell Toothless I told you about that conversation. He made me promise. I just wanted you to know how much you and the others mean to him," Stoick said and walked off, leaving Astrid to think about just what Stoick had told her.

Meanwhile, Fishlegs was slowly assembling the human tracker while Toothless munched on a bunch of fish.

"Ah! Fishlegs! Make sure gears 9 and 17 are aligned properly," Toothless yelled and Fishlegs nodded before making sure the gears were aligned.

Fishlegs then took a good long look at the schematics and realized something.

"Toothless, this machine has a 50-50 percent chance of either working or failing. I mean, trying to track a living creature using a specialized teleportation crystal with a sample of blood...that's just risky," Fishlegs says while slotting another gear into place. Toothless then laughed.

"You think that's a risk? Try building a mind swapping device with your eyes closed and one paw tied to your wing. Hiccup wanted to see if I could do it. Well, let's just say, when we finally got back in our own bodies, we didn't go flying for weeks," Toothless said and Fishlegs smiled before continuing to work on the device.

Eventually, around an hour later, Fishlegs sighed and threw down a tool onto the desk.

"I give up! I cannot figure out this last part of the diagram and YOU'VE been sleeping the entire time," Fishlegs yelled and Toothless woke up with a yawn.

"You get less than an hour of sleep every day for nearly a month, and then tell me you wouldn't get some sleep afterwards?" Toothless said and got up. He walked over to see the almost finished device; all it was missing was something to charge up the power crystal.

"Oh, all it needs is energy...why didn't you say so?" Toothless said and then lightning started coming off of Toothless' body in waves and entering the crystal. Toothless then sent a small beam of plasma into the crystal, charging it. Toothless and Fishlegs both then looked at the crystal.

"See, that's all it took. Just a sap of lightning and a small stream of plasma," Toothless said, not telling Fishlegs that he also had to sacrifice a whole 365 days of his life just to power the tiny crystal.

Then, the device powered up and started beeping, a little arrow on the device pointing in a random direction.

Toothless quickly picked up the device and he started going in the direction of the arrow, out of the Great Hall into the hills near the village, and he eventually made his way into the forest.

Eventually, after walking around for nearly two and half hours, he made his way to the cove and then the device started going crazy and beeping.

Toothless looked around, to see no Hiccup or any human. Toothless sighed and dropped the device onto the ground.

"Well, looks like this thing is defective," Toothless said and then started looking around the cove. He hadn't been to the cove in what felt like forever. And that one time during a teleport did not count.

Toothless closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and just stood there. The cold wind of the August afternoon hit his warm scales.

Then, he heard a noise in the distance. The sound of a teleportation. Toothless opened his eyes and roared into the windy air.

"HELLO!?" Toothless roared and then took three deep breaths before looking around. After a few moments, a human figure appeared at the top of the cove, and it took Toothless a few moments before he recognized the figure.

How could he not recognize the auburn hair and green eyes of his brother?

Toothless was practically crying now, for he hadn't seen Hiccup in what felt like years, but had only been weeks. Toothless's heart ached and his entire body shook with both fear and happiness.

Hiccup started climbing down into the cove and eventually, he reached the bottom and ran towards Toothless. Hiccup was also crying, he didn't know whether Toothless was alright or not and this was the first time he had seen Toothless in nearly three months.

Hiccup and Toothless met halfway, Hiccup hugging Toothless and Toothless nuzzling his head into Hiccup's back while using his wing to sort of 'hug' Hiccup.

They didn't say a word, they just cried in each other's embraces. They were both tired and exhausted. They needed to rest.

So, Hiccup curled up against Toothless's chest and belly, while Toothless curled up around Hiccup, both comforting each other and getting the sleep they need. And then they both fell asleep in that exact position


When Hiccup and Toothless woke up, they both quickly got into a sitting position, facing each other. They had to catch up and talk.

"Well, the last time I saw you, bud you pushed me into a hole," Hiccup said with a glare. It was a fake glare but a glare all the same. Toothless looked away sheepishly and then looked back at Hiccup with a grin.

"Yeah, that was not my finest moment. At least I got a cool scar out of it," Toothless said and pointed to the scar on his belly, right where the Monstrous Nightmare had stabbed him.

Hiccup immediately ran over to Toothless and put a hand right on the scar. He then looked up at Toothless, worried.

"D-Does it still hurt? Should I get Gothi? Or...Or..." Hiccup starts frantically, and Toothless laughs while using his paw to push Hiccup's hand away from his scar. It still hurt a little every now and again, but it was nothing to be worried about.

"Don't worry Hiccup. I can barely feel it anymore. So, I guess I should tell you what happened after that..." Toothless said and retold the story from the moment he left Hiccup in the hole to the moment he got back on Berk.

"Y-You did that...for four million years..." Hiccup said in disbelief, shock, and sadness. Toothless nodded and looked at Hiccup, who was crying now.

Hiccup immediately ran over to Toothless and hugged him. Toothless just started sobbing and whimpering and whining.

They sat like that for nearly an hour, until they heard the sound of lightning and screaming coming from the village. Hiccup and Toothless both got up and looked at each other.

"Seems the party's not over yet..." Toothless joked and Hiccup climbed onto Toothless's back for the first time in forever. They quickly took off into the skies and headed towards Berk.


Toothless and Hiccup landed right in the center of Berk, and Hiccup climbed off of Toothless's back while Toothless started walking forward.

Eventually, the Dragon Riders with Stoick and Valka came up to them, shocked and surprised that Hiccup was now back as well.

"Hiccup!" Astrid yelled and quickly ran over to Hiccup and hugged him. Hiccup then hugged Astrid back and they stood there. Tuffnut then shook his head with a scoff.

"Not the time you lovebirds!" Ruffnut yelled and Toothless growled in agreement. Something was coming...something bad.

Then, a huge portal slowly started opening at the other end of the courtyard and two dragons came out of it. One was a Monstrous Nightmare, and she was wearing a set of gold and Gronckle Iron armor. The other was a Skrill. He was wearing a set of silver and Gronckle Iron armor.

"We are here to welcome you into the ever-expanding mass of the army of the Red Death. We would also like to address the dragon called TOOTHLESS," The Monstrous Nightmare said and Toothless slowly stepped forward.

"Yes, I'm Toothless. What do you want?" Toothless said and stopped less than 100 feet from the two dragons.

"My name is Flame, and his name is Spark. We have been sent by our LORD and MASTER the RED DEATH to kill YOU," Flame said. She flamed up, while Spark drew a lightning bolt from the sky.

"I don't think you understand; this planet and its people are under my protection, which includes Berk. Now get off my planet," Toothless said and Spark laughed.

"I remember when we watched you just watching out for yourself in the Dragon Raids, and then you went to protecting Berk. Then the Archipelago, and now the entire planet? What's next? You're gonna start protecting the entire universe probably," Spark said and Toothless smiled.

"If I have too, then I will," Toothless said and Flame growled while stepping closer to Toothless.

"Alright, Spark let's get this over with. And then we can go and eat some Vikings while blowing up some houses," Flame said and Spark growled in happiness.

"Yes! You could have been one of us, Night Fury, but yet you chose to be...good. You simply did not have the will to act on it," Spark said and Toothless growled. Toothless's spine started glowing and small bits of lightning start coming off his body.

"You'll find that OUR will is EQUAL to YOURS," Toothless said and drew a lightning bolt from the sky. It hit him and gave him a major energy boost. Then Flame tilted her head.

"Our?" Flame said and then Hiccup jumped from one of the rooftops and fired his shotgun directly into Flame's wing, grounding her.

"YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Flame yelled and sent a stream of fire at Hiccup, only for Toothless to jump in front of Hiccup and take the shot.

"Hiccup, get the other dragon riders ready. I think something is gonna come out from that portal and I need everyone ready. Don't worry about these two clowns, I have them," Toothless said and Hiccup nodded before running off. Toothless then turned to the two dragons and growled loudly.

"Now, where were we," Toothless said and quickly got to work on fighting the two dragons.

Fire flew through the air; claws hit scales and caused bleeding. And everyone was fighting.

Eventually, Hiccup returned with the rest of the Berkians, all of them armed to the teeth and ready for combat.

"I could use some help over here! Just a suggestion you know!" Toothless yelled and quickly stabbed Spark, causing Spark to roar in anger. Hiccup and Astrid nodded and quickly ran over.

With Hiccup and Astrid's help, they managed to knock out Flame. But Spark quickly flew into the air and started sending lightning bolts at places on Berk.

Suddenly, over a hundred dragons started coming out from the portal, and Toothless turned to Hiccup with a growl.

"Do you have this?" Toothless asked and Hiccup nodded. Toothless quickly pumped his wings and flew into the air...FLEW INTO THE AIR.

"HOW ARE YOU FLYING!?" Hiccup yelled and Toothless shrugged. He looked down at his tail just to be sure. Yep, there was still only one tail fin on the end of his tail.

"I don't know, must be one of my new powers. Be right back!" Toothless yelled and flew up to Spark, and they quickly engaged in aerial battle.

After a few minutes of fighting, Spark smiled and created a teleportation field around Toothless, sending him nearly 100 miles away.

"DAMN IT! I'M COMING HICCUP!" Toothless roared as loud as possible and started flying in the direction of Berk.


Hiccup and the humans and Dragons of Berk fought long and hard against the armies of the Red Death.

Hiccup looked over to see Astrid pinned underneath a Monstrous Nightmare's claws. The Monstrous Nightmare snarled and started building up a blast of fire.

Hiccup unloads two shots from his shotgun into the side of the dragon, causing it to roar in pain and fly away. Hiccup ran over and quickly pulled Astrid up to her feet.

"Alright, I'm getting myself one of those things," Astrid said and gestured to Hiccup's shotgun, and Hiccup smiled.

"If we survive this, I'll make you a flaming shotgun," Hiccup says and then fires off another round from his shotgun. Astrid then picked up her axe and swung it at an attacking dragon.

They continue fighting for what felt like hours. Hiccup then looked over at Astrid to see her get thrown at a wall and then pinned.

"Astrid!" Hiccup yells and starts running to her, only for three dragons to jump on him and pin him.

"AHHAHAA! HELP!" Hiccup yelled and struggled against the vicious dragons, but he lost and they threw his shotgun aside and snarled in his face.

Then, a large lightning bolt hit the center of Berk, and smaller lightning bolts came off of it and hit many of the dragons pinning and attacking the humans and dragons of Berk.

The huge lightning bolt faded and revealed Toothless, who was glowing blue with lightning coming off of his body in waves.

"HURT ONE HAIR ON MY FRIEND'S HEADS AND I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE THAT YOUR END IS SLOW AND PAINFUL!" Toothless roared at the top of his lungs and some of the dragons whimper and fly off, but most remain.

Toothless created a bunch of bolts of lightning and they take out half of the Red Death's army. Toothless pants and takes in a deep breath before turning to Hiccup, who is only now just getting up.

"Hiccup, fight the rest of them off. I have a bone to pick with Spark," Toothless said and flew off, leaving Hiccup on the ground. The boy scrambled for his shotgun.

Toothless flew into the storm clouds and prepared a large lightning bolt, and then he saw Spark picking a fight with Stormfly and Hookfang.

"NO, YOU DONT!" Toothless roared and sent the large lightning bolt at Spark. It hit Spark and he growled in pain, but most channeled into his body. Lightning versus lighting is very difficult.

"YOU AGAIN? Well, I guess I'll be eating cooked Night Fury for dinner tonight," Spark said and licked his lips. Toothless snarled and prepared another large lightning blast.


Hiccup and the rest of the Dragons and Vikings of Berk managed to fight off what remained of the Red Death's army. Just a knocked out Flame remained.

Flame woke up and snarled at Hiccup and Astrid.

"Well well well, if it isn't the runt's brother," Flame snarled at Hiccup and then charged. Hiccup quickly unloaded a shot from his shotgun into Flame's face, causing her to whimper in pain.

"Please...just let me help you..." Hiccup says and Flame snarls before sending a stream of fire at Hiccup. Hiccup just barely managed to dodge it, but he dropped his shotgun in the process.

Flame then takes this chance to jump and pin Hiccup, snarling happily into his face.

"Now, you'll die alone," Flame says and Astrid picks up Hiccup's shotgun.

"Oh, but he's not alone," Astrid says and pulls the trigger, the blast from the shotgun hitting Flame straight in the neck artery and killing her instantly. Astrid falls onto her back and the shotgun goes sliding a few feet away.

"You're much better with that thing," Astrid says and Hiccup nods weakly. They then get back up and resume the fight.


Toothless charged up all of his energy into a lightning bolt and he sent it right into Spark's body, electrocuting him instantly. The skrill shook and fell out of the sky, the lightning bolt too much for him to absorb. Toothless then starts flying back to Berk, with Stormfly and Hookfang in tow, when he notices something.

It's too quiet, way to quiet. Toothless then looked at the portal and saw a Night Fury sized dragon coming through. And he recognized the dragon instantly.

"EVERYONE! RED DEATH INCOMING!" Toothless yelled as loud as possible and then he started charging up a massive lightning and plasma blast.

Meanwhile, everyone looked at the portal to see the Red Death come out of it.

"Hello everyone, time to be killed under MY PAW," The Red Death says and all of the Berkians and Dragons charge. The big dragon already started growing.

Snotlout makes it there first, swinging his sword at the Red Death. The Red Death laughs and kicks Snotlout aside.

Then Hookfang and Stormfly come up and try hurting the Red Death, only to get kicked aside as well.

Then Astrid and Meatlug charge, only for the Red Death to use her magic to phase right through them. And then the Red Death kicks them to the ground.

It continues like this until only Hiccup is left standing against the Red Death, and the Red Death smiles.

"Where is Toothless?" The Red Death asks and Hiccup shakes his head, not saying a word. The Red Death raises her paw and tries to use it to hit Hiccup, only for Hiccup to grab it and hold it back.

Hiccup screamed in pain as he tried to hold back the paw of the Red Death. The Red Death frowned at how strong Hiccup is. The huge paw should have squashed him like a bug.

"Your brother must be rubbing off on you. Too bad it won't stop me," The Red Death said and used her other free paw to hit Hiccup in the side, causing him to collapse into unconsciousness.

"RED DEATH!?" Toothless screamed louder than he had ever screamed before, and he sent a MASSIVE blast of lightning and plasma into the Red Death' body, sending her flying. She landed at the steps of the Great Hall and then looked up to see Toothless using MAGIC to increase the strength of his paws.

Toothless then used magic to summon versions of him from ALL ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE. All the other versions of him fired at the Red Death, hurting her everywhere. Massive holes ripped into her rocky hide. The Red Death then used her fire to kill all the other versions of Toothless, only leaving the original. Toothless then started going into a dive directly at the Red Death.

The Red Death fired off a massive magically enhanced stream of fire at Toothless, only for Toothless to fly right through it and dive under the big dragon. He used his claws to scrape and stab the Red Death in the stomach. Toothless swooped out from under when her tail came swinging dangerously close. He circled back to the front of the dragon.

Toothless looked right into the Red Death's six eyes. He then grabs a bunch of Gronckle Iron beams from nearby and he bended them around the Red Death, imprisoning her.

"We meet again at last. Let's go over everything you've done to me. You've killed my parents and ate them in front of me, you made me friendless, you tried to kill me and Hiccup more than once! AND to top it all off, I know it was YOU who trapped me in that castle for 4 billion years," Toothless said and then quickly put his claws on the Red Death's heart, ready to tear it out.

"I should kill you...I should KILL YOU for THAT...but...but I won't" Toothless said and took a few deep breaths, removing his claws from the Red Death's chest. The Red Death chuckled and lookd at Toothless.

"You were always weak, Toothless, just like your brother Hiccup, and just like your SISTER," The Red Death said and Toothless growled loudly.

"What do you mean? I never had any siblings before Hiccup," Toothless says and the Red Death laughed.

"You had a sister. She was born an entire week before you. But you see, I ate her just before you were born. Sad little thing she was, couldn't even stand up properly," The Red Death said and Toothless took a few steps back in disbelief.

"You're lying. You always lie. You never tell the truth," Toothless said in denial. He remembered the look on his parent's faces when he had asked if he had siblings. They had had a look of LOSS.

Toothless roared in outrage and prepare to stab the Red Death in the heart, but Hiccup quickly ran over to Toothless and started calming him down.

"Toothless, buddy, if you kill her, she will get off easy. She won't have to sit in a void and think about what she's done. She'll get off easy and get to die. And this isn't you bud, this isn't YOU," Hiccup said and Toothless slowly but surely calmed down. He was still angry and now sad, but he had Hiccup.

Everyone was standing nearby, watching on. Astrid, of course, got pretty angry and defensive. She quickly ran over to the Red Death and hit her on the nose with the blunt side of her axe.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU TOOK AWAY HIS PARENTS AND HIS SISTER! WHAT MAKES A DRAGON DO THAT?" Astrid yelled and hit the Red Death again. Hiccup then turned to Astrid.

"Astrid..." Hiccup said, trying to calm her down. It was working, but it didn't work fast enough.

"Why!? Why did you take away his family and friends?!" Astrid yelled and hit the Red Death again. The Red Death got very angry at this point and then managed to free one of her claws from under her. She used that one free claw to slice at Astrid's throat.

Then, Astrid fell to the ground. And everyone turned to her. Hiccup ran over and quickly took a look at his wife before he started crying.

"No..." Hiccup said and then quickly hugged his now dead wife. Toothless was brimming with RAGE AND ANGER.

He quickly turned to the Red Death and stabbed her in the heart.

"YOU'LL DIE FOR THAT!" Toothless roars and starts viciously stabbing and tearing apart the Red Death, who was smiling in victory the entire time.

Eventually, Hiccup managed to get control over his emotions and he ran over to Toothless.

"TOOTHLESS! STOP! BUDDY! THIS ISN'T YOU!" Hiccup yelled and started trying to pull back the enraged Toothless, who only snarled at Hiccup and sent him flying to the ground. Toothless had practically gone insane.

Toothless then turned back to the Red Death and sent a massive plasma and lightning blast into the Red Death's chest, sending her nearly to death.

"I...win," The Red Death moaned with a smile before passing on. It took Toothless a few moments and a few deep breaths to realize what had just happened and for him to come back to sanity.

"What...have I done?" Toothless moaned to himself and took a few steps back. Hiccup was looked up at Toothless, shocked and scared.

The entirety of Berk went silent and the only thing to be heard was the sound of thunder in the distance and the sound of everyone breathing.

"Toothless..." Hiccup said while getting up. He could see the look of regret and guilt in Toothless' eyes. Toothless looked at Hiccup with tears in his eyes.

"Hiccup...don't...please, just...don't," Toothless moaned and then collapsed onto the ground in a whimpering and whining mess. Hiccup ran over and hugged the sobbing and crying Toothless.

What remained of the Red Death's army bowed to Toothless, while the other dragons also bowed. Toothless just shook his head in both disbelief and pure utter horror.

Then, slowly, a group of eight Night Furies faded into existence and they slowly walked over to Toothless.

"Young dragon," one of the Night Fury's said, and Toothless looked up with tears in his eyes too.

"W-Who are you?" Toothless asks and the Night Fury laughed while his friends chuckle.

"My name is Polybius, and I am the watcher of Time. These are my friends, they are also watchers over things," Polybius said and Toothless whined. "Stars, life, death, water, earth, fire, and air," Polybius said, pointing to each Night Fury in turn.

"Are you here to kill me?" Toothless asked. It was a simple yet serious question. Polybius laughed and laid a paw on Toothless's head like an elder would with a child.

"No. Night Furies have an unspoken code. We never harm kin. Also, even if we did, we are not really here. We are just ghosts. But we decided to come here and ask you something," Polybius said and Toothless took in a deep breath before nodding. Polybius smiled and continued.

"We would like to ask you, the very last living Night Fury, to watch over planet Earth and its living organisms. You are very capable of doing so, as you have already protected the people of Berk from many threats," Polybius said and Toothless laughed, actually LAUGHED.

"And look at just how well I've done. I'm not some chosen protector or hero, I'm just...I don't even know what I am. WHO I am," Toothless said and buried his face into Hiccup's chest. Hiccup had been watching this entire time and was not about to interrupt the dragons.

"Oh, but you are more than that. You not a champion of Berk or a hero of the world. You are Toothless the Night Fury, protector of Earth, keeper of the magic of the ancients," Polybius said and if Toothless wanted to know who he was, well, now he knew.

"But even if I did accept the position, I would eventually die of old age. Hell, I'm already 25. I only have 200 more years left," Toothless said and Polybius smiled.

"That can easily be fixed with magic. We can make you immortal. You can still die by other means, but you will not age," Polybius said and Toothless whimpered before hugging Hiccup harder.

"I don't want to lose Hiccup," Toothless said and Polybius smiled.

"But here's the beauty of it. Once you're made immortal, you can make only ONE other thing immortal alongside you. But you can only do it once. And you also need the permission of the living thing you want to make immortal," Polybius said and Toothless imminently faced Hiccup, who was already thinking.

Hiccup knew if he allowed Toothless to make him immortal, eventually, everyone on Berk he knew would die from old age. But, he thought of how lonely and sad Toothless would be if he said no...How hurt Toothless would be. He knew if he said no, it would basically be the final nail in Toothless's sanity.

So, Hiccup knew what he had to do.

"Yes, Toothless, I'll allow it. I don't have much left for me on Berk anyway..." Hiccup said and looked at Astrid's dead body. Hiccup cried a single tear and then looked back at Toothless, his brother and best friend.

Toothless sighed and looked back at Polybius, who was smiling.

"Do it, I accept," Toothless said and thought about his new role, as protector of Earth. He knew it would be a way to make up for all of his mistakes and his failures. It was his chance at redemption.

Suddenly, Polybius breathed magic fire onto Hiccup and Toothless, making them immortal and forever bound by magic.

Then, Polybius smiled and disappeared as Hiccup and Toothless looked at each other with a look that said it all. They had a job to do.


Toothless and Hiccup sat in the warm grass on top of Berk's highest mountain. They were watching the sunset on both their old adventure and their old lives.

And when the sun rose, their new lives would begin. They knew everyone on Berk that they knew would eventually die and they would be left alone. But they had each other. They are brothers forever.

Toothless then raised his head from his paws and purred as he felt the warm sunlight hitting his beaten and rough scales.

"I quite like the title of 'Protector of Earth' and 'Keeper of the Magic of the Ancients'," Toothless said and Hiccup laughed while nudging Toothless.

"Don't let it go to your head; your head's big enough as it is!" Hiccup said with a smile, and Toothless laughed. "I'll call you the 'Trusty Sidekick'," Toothless warbled and Hiccup shoved him. The pair rolled in the grass before settling down.

They watched the sunset, as their adventure came to an end. And in its place, a new one began.

But that is a story for another day.
