Sorry it's such a long bit!

"Eurgh!" The girl groaned with the effort of keeping Dagur's sword from cutting Hiccup's skull in half.

"Well this truly is disappointing. Not only do you fail to kill him but now you're protecting him!" Dagur snapped with the edge of a maniacal laugh. She pushed with all her weight, forcing him to bring the sword back and away from Hiccup. She raised her sword ready to parry his blow again. He just laughed.

"You are even weaker than I first thought. Let's see were your foolish daring gets you when you are faced with real opponents." He laughed and sat calmly to watch as his soldiers circled her, a group of eight or nine of them began attacking her. Her gaze darkened and she swung the sword with all her might, disarming and wounding anyone who came close to her. She took axes and threw them, she stabbed and slashed. She would show him who was weak. She fought each of them, leaving an increasing count of bodies, both unconscious and dead, her arms stained with red blood spray. She saw Hiccup staring horrified but she had no time to pay much attention to him as she fought the last soldier. Then Vott stepped forward to battle her.

"You know I can defeat you easily!" She yelled at him

"We'll just see about that sister!"

"I am not your sister, as you so loved to remind me every day of our lives!" She swung the sword at him and he deflected it, with some difficulty. "Once I called you my brother, there was a time when making you laugh was all I ever wanted, to see father proud. Even now I wish it didn't have to be so. Why must you call me to bring down another blow upon you? Just let my dragon, let these people go!"

"You who I called sister, how could you have come to hate us so? Is this really what you want? Let my heart be hardened truly then, this is how it shall go. I care not how high the cost may grow. I will carry on father's legacy. I won't let them go!" Hiccup watched with horror in his eyes as she fought the boy she had once counted as her brother. Finally she made a gash on his arm and kicked him to the floor, kicking in his helmet and knocking him unconscious.

"Now what 'father'?! What else are you going to throw at me?" She yelled, there was nothing but fury and hate in her voice. No child should speak that way.

"Now I will end this."

"By what killing my dragon?!"

"That will come in time. First I am going to kill you. Disappointing, I had other plans but you leave me no choice." He spat and he jumped down, sword drawn to fight her.

"Bring it on." She hissed darkly as he charged her.

"No! Hiccup cried out but he could not move to where she now stood, on the boats deck, fast enough. She leaped and dodged half of his lunges, she parried the others. She attacked with force that surprised Dagur. The trouble was, she was unleashing thirteen years worth of hate now. Dagur hit the side of the boat and paused to catch his breath; she skidded to a halt beside her dragon. The Skrill called out with a sad rumble. She saw for the first time the whip marks on his back, she gently touched them, they were fresh, he'd been hit whilst she had been away, unconscious on Berk. Suddenly every cruel scar on her back tingled with rage, every memory of abuse and hate came surging towards her, and every tear she had ever shed burned within her like a fire that was out of control. There was nothing left now but hate. Hate for Dagur.

Screaming a terrible scream she ran at him, sword held high. For the next five minutes Hiccup watched the most intense battle he had ever seen, and he'd been with Astrid since childhood. Camicazi was striking Dagur with renewed strength and courage. There was no reluctance, no fear, no compassion and no mercy behind her attacks. She hit him with everything she had, thirteen years of abuse and hate. Dagur seemed to have realised this as his eyes were genuinely afraid now. She turned and grabbed another sword from the deck, it didn't look quite normal to Hiccup, she placed the metal tip by the Skrill. Hiccup tried to yell a warning but she yelled a command to the dragon instead.

"Light it up boy!" The dragon obeyed and the blade sparkled with the power of Skrill lightning which she thrust at Dagur, the lightning struck him and he collapsed in a heap on the ground, his sword falling out of reach. She leapt onto him and held the sword above her head ready to deliver the fatal blow. He was at her mercy now.

"Do you still think I'm weak now? Am I still useless?" She spat. He smirked at her.

"Kill me then. Prove you're not weak."

"Camicazi no!" Hiccup yelled out, she froze for a split second, she had forgotten he was there. "You don't have to kill him Camicazi! You'd be stooping to his level if you do. Don't be like him. Don't become the empty crazed killer he is. That's not you." She hesitated, her arms jerking slightly.

"I knew it. Too weak to kill me." Dagur sneered. She held firm, she'd kill him. "Coward!" He taunted.

"It takes more courage not to kill him Camicazi, to walk away." Hiccup was trying to think fast. He looked at the chained Skrill and saw a saddle strapped to his back and was hit with sudden inspiration. "Camicazi! Did brave men kill dragons?" She paused again. "Did the brave men kill dragons Camicazi?" Hiccup yelled across at her.

"No..."

"What did the brave men do?"

"The brave men rode them." She glanced across to Sparky; she saw the saddle she had made for him still on his back.

"Are you one of those brave people?"

"Yes..." She lowered the sword slowly

"Coward!"

"I am not a coward!"

"Then kill me! Kill me and save your dragon, end your suffering and his." He had a point, she raised the sword again.

"Camicazi don't! You don't have to do this!"

"Do it!"

"Don't!"

"Do it!"

"Don't!"

"Now!"

"Nooo!" Hiccup yelled as Camicazi suddenly swung the sword down screaming in frustration. Camicazi leaned on her sword breathing deeply. Hiccup realised to his relief that she had only hit his helmet with the flat side of the blade, knocking him out. He pulled himself to his feet when Camicazi gave a yelp of pain and Hiccup saw Vott, dagger in hand standing behind her. She turned sharply and hit him in the face, twisted his arm and shoved him to the floor with his father, once again knocking him out. Hiccup ran towards her and saw to his horror her hand move from her side, covered in scarlet blood which was pouring out of a gash in her side.

"Uh oh." She said, and promptly passed out.

"No!" Hiccup yelled as she fell, and other voices screamed at the same time.

"Hiccup!"

"Camicazi no!" Camicazi hit the deck, her eyes closed and blood pouring from her side as Sparky screeched.
