Chapter 6
The Death of the Red Death
It had been an interesting month since Hiccup came back to Berk, Snotlout had been given a small funeral, Dagur was tried and executed, Dagur's lost sister Heather became the new chief of the Berserker tribe and joined the alliance, many people on Berk started riding dragons and the group of dragons that came to steal from Berk was captured and put threw rehab. During this time Stoick managed to mend his relationship with his wife and son and had also found someone who could take over for him when he retired. Hiccup spent most of his free time in the woods with his mate, doing who knows what, or at the forge working on various ideas he had.
Members of the alliance arrived to help take down the Red Death and end its reign. "Alright tomorrow we head out to the lair of the Red Death, a monster by even dragon standers, so be ready for a fight. Remember don't kill any dragons that attack you if you can help it, they are victims just as much as we are" Hiccup told everyone who was gathered in the great hall. "What's the plan?" asked a villager "We strike hard and cripple its ability to fly and keep it outside the nest, the nest that my mother lives at is also coming to help out so we will have far greater numbers than the Red Death. It might have a very strong hide, but with so many dragons attacking it at once, it won't last" answered Hiccup "Alright let's get some sleep and be ready for the fight of our lives tomorrow" said Stoick
The next day all the riders flew off on their dragons, Hiccup changed into his Night Furry form and flew at the front of the pack with his mate by his side. Valka took charge and helped give directions and told the others to avoid being burned alive from the Red Death's column of fire. Many of the riders nodded their head in understanding, they wanted to see their families after this after all.
After an hour of flying the group arrived at the fog banks that surrounded the nest "Alright this is where the bond between you and your dragon will be tested, but have no fear that bond will protect your dragon from the Red Death's control" announced Valka "If they start acting up just reassure them and tell them everything will be alright and it should snap them out of it" "Alright lets head in" said Astrid as she followed Hiccup into the fog.
The group had little trouble getting to the nest and most of them were amazed that it was a volcano. Hiccup wasted no time and fired a massive plasma blast at the wall and roared loudly. The response was all the dragons in the nest flew off in fear as the Red Death emerged in anger for being challenged. The moment it fully came out of the nest everyone unleashed Hel upon it, the Red Death was quickly overwhelmed by all the dragons attacking it was tried to retreat back into its nest but Hiccup, his mate, Toothless and a few other Night Furries that were with them kept it from doing so.
After an hour of blasting the Red Death with everything they had, Hiccup called them off and landed at the beach. The Red Death was still alive, but just barely and was it was bleeding horribly from allover and was close to death. "It's all over the Red Death will no longer bother anyone again" announced Hiccup "It's still alive though, won't it come back with vengeance?" asked one of the riders "No, it's going to die a slow death for everything it has done, it doesn't deserve a quick merciful death" answered Hiccup "So now what?" asked Stoick "We need to be on guard for when Drago shows himself and his dragon army" answered Hiccup. Everyone knew that it was true, while they did just beat a big threat to them, a even bigger one was still out there.
"But let's go back and celebrate our first major victory as an alliance today and start planning for Drago tomorrow" said Hiccup. Everyone cheered and flew back to Berk to celebrate, and boy what a celebration it was.
While Hiccup was celebrating his mate called him over and gave him some wonderful news, after trying for so long he was going to be a father at last. Hiccup fainted from joy and when word reached the party goers they congratulated Hiccup, Valka and Stoick. "Great, now I'm going to be a father as well as running an alliance" said Hiccup sarcasticly once he recovered from his shock.
Note: This tale is almost done, freeing me up to work on a new fanfiction along with my two current versions of pokemon, yeah!
