2. Who? (Part 2)

Chapter Two: Who? (Part 2)

Camelot:

Arthur returned from arguing with Balinor. "What did he say?" asked Merlin. He'd been sitting in the same spot the whole time. "He'll change his mind." said Arthur. How? Balinor didn't seem like one to change so quickly. "He said that?" Merlin asked. Arthur glanced at him. "Just...give him a moment." was all he said. The two looked back at Balinor. He walked back up to them. They nodded to each other. "Farewell men." he said. Well, that didn't work.

Merlin watched him walk back to his cave as did Arthur. "That's your decision?" asked Arthur. Balinor looked at him. "I will not. Help. Uther." he said sternly. He was very serious with his decision. "Then the people of Camelot are damned." said Arthur. He wasn't going to give up so easily. "So be it." said Balinor. He continued walking. "Have you no conscience?" said Arthur. Balinor turned around again. "You should ask that question... of your father." he said. His voice was more harsh. This time Merlin spoke up. "And you're no better than him." he said. Balinor didn't say anything and continued what he was doing. "Don't waist your time Merlin!" Arthur said loudly. Then he walked off in the opposite direction. Merlin stood up and gave one last glance at Balinor.

"Gaius spoke of the nobility of the Dragon Lords. Clearly he was wrong." Merlin said. Balinor stopped walking, and turned to look at him. "Gaius?" he said.

"Yes." said Merlin. Balinor nodded a bit. "Good man." he said. Merlin nodded as well. "Yeah." he said, although it was more like a whisper. "I was hoping you'd be like him."

"Merlin!" called Arthur. Merlin glanced at him, then turned back to Balinor. "I wanted-"

"Merlin!"

"Well there's no point." Merlin finished. He went to get ready to leave with Arthur.

Riding in the woods once more, the two stopped for rest and dinner. Merlin had remained quiet the entire time. "I've always thought that silence would be a blessing with you, but I find it just as irritating. You're a riddle Merlin." said Arthur.

"A riddle?" Merlin questioned.

"Yes. But I've got to quite like you." said Arthur.

"Yeah?"

"Now I realise you're not a big a fool as you look." joked Arthur.

Merlin tried to laugh, but sounded annoyed. "Yeah. I feel the same." he said bitterly. Arthur looked at him curiously. "Now I realise you're not as arrogant as you sound." he finished. There it was.

Arthur nodded and sighed silently. "Still think I'm arrogant." he said. Merlin glanced at him. "No. More...supercilious." he said. Arthur looked at him. "That's a big word Merlin." he joked. "You sure you know what it means?"

"Condescending." said Merlin.

"Very good." said Arthur.

"Patronizing."

"It doesn't quiet mean that..." said Arthur. Merlin looked at him again. "No, these are other things you are." he said. What? "Hang on-" Arthur started, but a noise in the bushes cut him off. "Sh!" he said.

"Overbearing." continued Merlin. "You're very overbearing."

"Merlin!" Arthur said quietly.

"You wanted me to talk." was Merlin's reply.

Merlin was about to go back to his work, when he heard a crack! He grabbed his sword and followed Arthur. They thought they were heading in the right direction of the noise. When, they heard something behind them. They turned to see... Balinor?

"Careful boy. I thought you might need some help." he said.

The two looked at him a bit dumbfounded. "This is a dangerous country." he continued.

"Will you return to Camelot with us?" Arthur asked.

"You were right Merlin." said Balinor. "There are some in Camelot who would risk their lives for me. I owe a dept that must be repaid."

"If you succeed in killing the dragon you will not go unrewarded." said Arthur. Balinor nodded. "I seek no reward." he said.

Arthur stuck his sword in the ground. "Great! Let's eat." he said happily. Merlin couldn't help but smile as well.

While Arthur stayed at the camp, Merlin and Balinor gathered up firewood. "This wood's too wet." said Merlin.

"Don't worry, we'll make it light." said Balinor. Merlin glanced at him. "When you healed Arthur. I heard you mumble some words." he said.

"An ancient prayer." said Balinor.

"I thought it might have been more than that." said Merlin.

"The Old Religion can teach us many things." said Balinor. Merlin looked up. "The Old Religion, is that something you were taught?" he asked. Balinor looked at him. He hesitated before speaking. "It's not something you can learn." he said. Merlin was pretty sure of that. He knew what he was talking about. "Either it's apart of you, or it isn't. My father knew that. And his father before him."

"Were they also Dragon Lords?" Merlin asked.

"We'll need some kindling." said Balinor. He was obviously not going to answer that any time soon. "You mentioned- you spoke of, Ealdor. You took refuge with a woman." said Merlin.

"It was a long time ago." said Balinor.

"I grew up there." said Merlin. Balinor looked at him. "Ealdor?" he asked.

"Yes." Merlin paused before going on. "I know the woman."

"Hunith?" said Balinor. "She's still alive?"

"Yes." said Merlin. He hesitated. "She's my mother." he finished.

There was a slight pain in Balinor's eyes. "She married." he said. "That's good." he went back to the firewood. "She never married." said Merlin. Balinor looked back at him. Now there was a bit of shock in his eyes. "I'm your son." Merlin said finally. Balinor stared at him. "I don't know what it is to have a son." he said quietly. Merlin blinked a few times to try and push away tears. "Or I a father." he said.

A noise in the background caught their attention. Merlin glanced back to see Arthur walk by with his sword. He turned back to Balinor. "You must not tell Arthur." he said. As Balinor walked closer, he noticed a bit of fear in his son's eyes when he said that. He nodded and they both smiled as he gave Merlin the sticks he'd collected. He then walked back to the camp.

Berk:

Bored out of his mind and sitting at his desk, Hiccup played with his ink pen. Suddenly, he heard someone walking in. His dad. "Dad! Uh, Gobber's not here, so..." Hiccup started as he tried to hide his dragon drawings.

"I know." said Stoik. He walked in. "I came lookin' for you." he said.

"Y-you did?" said Hiccup.

"You've been keepin' secrets."

"W-I uh, I- ha- I have?" said Hiccup, obviously nervous.

"Just how long did you think you could hide it from me?"

"Uh, I- I- I- don't know what you-" Oh gods he was about to get it now.

"Nothing happens on this island without me hearin' about it."

"Oh?"

"So. Let's talk. About that dragon."

"Oh gods. Dad I'm so sorry- I- I- I- was going to tell you, I just didn't know how to uh-" Hiccup started, but was interrupted by his father's... laughing? He was laughing. So, Hiccup- awkwardly- laughed and went along with it. "You-you're not upset?" he asked.

"What?! I was hoping for this!"

"Uuuuhhh... you were?" said Hiccup, not really sure of what to say.

"And believe me, it get's better! Just wait til you spill a Nadder's guts for the first time!" Stoik said excitedly. That was a picture Hiccup surely, did not need. "And mount your first Gronkle head on a spear? What a feelin'!" Stoik playfully hit Hiccup in the arm, not knowing his strength. Hiccup fell into the notch between his desk, and the wall. He wasn't surprised that it took a bit of effort to get himself out.

"You really had me goin' there son! All those years of the worst viking Berk has ever seen! Odin, it was ruff. I almost gave up on you- and all the while you were holdin' out on me! Oh! Thor almighty! Oh!" Hiccup stared at his father. Not once had he seen him so... happy. Excited even. "With you doin' well in the ring," Stoik paused, "we've finally have somethin' to talk about."

Then Hiccup realised that Stoik was expecting him to start the conversation. There was an awkward moment of silence. Hiccup glanced around the room for a bit. He opened his mouth- but all that came out was a sigh. Stoik leaned closer eager to hear something exciting. Nothing could come out of Hiccup's mouth. Well, he had been put on the spot

"Oh. Well, I uh, I brought you somethin'." Stoik finally said. "To keep you, safe. In the ring." he handed Hiccup a helmet. It certainly was impressive. "Wow. Thanks." said Hiccup. He did mean it. To have his father give him something. It was a change. "Ah your mother would have wanted you to have it. It's half of her breast plate." said Stoik, as if it were an everyday thing. In which for vikings, maybe it was. Hiccup let out another awkward, short, laugh? Well, it was some kind of sound anyways.

"Magic said, it keeps her... it keeps her close. You know." said Stoik. Hiccup gapped at the helmet. "Wear it proudly. You deserve it. You've held up your end of the deal." said Stoik. Oh the gods hate him don't they? He gently placed the helmet on the desk. "Uuh, ssss u-" he muttered. He really had no clue of what to say. He tried to get something out of his mouth. He yawned. Of course it was fake, but what else could he do at the moment? He was lying through his teeth to his father. His father who was only happy for him because he thinks he can battle dragons!

"I should really get to bed about now..."

"O-okay. Good talk." said Stoik, standing up.

"Uh, y-yeah. Yeah. I-I'll see you back at the house." Hiccup said. He said that at the same time Stoik said: "W-we should do it again. Great." as he mumbled other stuff.

"Uh, thanks for stopping by, for the uh- breast hat."

"The hat." they finished. Again, awkwardly.

Stoik cleared his throat. "Well uh, good night." he said, and left.

Hiccup sighed.

Back in the ring, it was just him and Astrid left in the contest. Hiccup was hiding behind a short wall. Astrid came along. "Stay out of my way. I'm winning this thing!" she said angrily.

"Good. Please, by all means." Hiccup said as she left.

Hiccup stood up and looked at his father. He gave a fake smile to him. Astrid moved like a cat and hid behind a wall. "This time. This time for sure!" she told herself.

She screamed a battle call and jumped over a couple walls. Only to find the dragon down. Hiccup looking weird, and he gestured to the dragon. "NO! No! Son of a half troll!" she screamed as she said other, colourful things.

"Wait, wait." shouted Stoik in order to calm the cheering crowd. Hiccup started to leave. "So, later." he said. But Gobber stopped him. "Oh, oh. Not so fast." he said and lifted Hiccup back a step.

"Uh, I'm kinda late for-whoa!"

"What?! Late for what exactly!" said Astrid. She had her weapon under Hiccup's chin. She looked ready to kill. "Okay quiet down! The elder has decided." said Stoik. The teens, and Gobber looked up to see the elder woman looking down upon them. Gobber stood a bit behind, but in between them. He raised his hooked hand over Astrid. The elder shook her head 'no'. There were numerous 'oooooh's in the crowd. Gobber raised his other hand above Hiccup and pointed down. The elder pointed as she nodded her head and smiled. The crowd went wild!

"Oh you've done it! You've done it Hiccup! You get to kill the dragon!" Gobber said excitedly. Hiccup wasn't sure if he should be more afraid of that, or of Astrid who looked as though she could kill at any moment. Although, that glare could just be used as a weapon itself.

The other teens all gathered around Hiccup. Then he found himself being lifted onto Fishlegs' shoulder, him being the tallest, and strongest and all. He let out a fake laugh and smile. Oh the gods sure do hate him. He was clear of that now.

"That's my boy!" shouted Stoik above the crowd.

"Yeah, yeah! Yes! I can't wait! I am sooo-"

Camelot:

Once it was dark, they settled in for the night. Arthur was the first to fall asleep. Merlin watched as his father carved. "Why did you never return?" he asked quietly. He didn't want to wake Arthur. "I thought her life would be better without me." he said. He went back to carving. "Why?" asked Merlin.

"Uther wanted me dead. If he'd found me, he'd have killed me. And your mother." said Balinor. "I wanted her to be safe."

"We could have gone with you." said Merlin. It was true. They could have all been together. "What kind of life would you have had here?" said Balinor.

"It would have been...happy." said Merlin, smiling. It faded for a moment, then came back. "When we finish, in Camelot. I'll take you to Ealdor."

Balinor smiled but shook his head. "She won't recognise me." he said. Merlin's smile faded away. "I see her in you." Merlin looked up. "Yeah?"

"You have her kindness." said Balinor.

"How did you become a Dragon Lord?" Merlin asked.

Balinor shook his head a bit. "I didn't choose to become a Dragon Lord. It's not something you're taught. It's a sacred gift. For thousands of years it's been handed down from father, to son. That is what you must now become. Merlin." Merlin nodded, understanding. "I would like that." he said quietly.

"Like all Dragon Lords, you won't know for sure that you have that power. Til you face your first. Dragon. You should get some sleep. We've got a big day ahead of us." said Balinor. Merlin nodded, trying to take in this new information. "Good night son." he heard his father say. Merlin couldn't help but smile. "Sleep well father." he replied.

The next morning, Merlin awoke by a water droplet on his face. He opened his eyes and wiped it off. Near by he noticed a beautiful carving of a flying creature. That had obviously been what his father was carving the night before. Suddenly Arthur came up behind him and covered his mouth. "Cenred's men." he said hoarsely. They stood up, ready for anything. After a moment, they heard a screaming battle cry as Cenred's men began attacking.

The battle was on. Merlin picked up a near by sword and tossed it to Balinor. A knight then began attacking Merlin, and he knocked the sword out of his hands. The knight was about to pierce him, when Balinor came and fought him off. But the result was Balinor getting pierced instead of Merlin. A rage of anger built up inside of him. He let loose his magic just once and blew the knight against a near by tree. After that time seemed to slow down.

Merlin layed his father down. "Merlin, I see you have your father's talent...Merlin..." Merlin's breathing became strained. "No, please no please!" he cried. "I can save you!"

"Listen to me. When you face the dragon. Remember. Be strong. A dragon's heart, is on it's right side. Not it's left."

"I can't do this!"

"Listen to me. You must son. I've seen enough in you to know you will make me proud." Then the light in Balinor's eyes began to dwindle. "No...father...father!" cried Merlin. He couldn't stop his tears now. He'd just met his father! Now..."No!" Arthur's sudden cry motivated Merlin to gather himself up. No matter how much he wanted to, he couldn't tell Arthur that Balinor was his father. Wiped his face and stood up. "Camelot is doomed." said Arthur.

Berk:

"Leaving! We're leaving." Hiccup said as he walked through the opening to Toothless. "Let's pack up. Looks like you and me are taking a little vacation." he said, he looked around for the dragon. He turned around and set his bag on the ground.

He opened it to make sure he had everything. Yep. Got everything. He stood up only to see Astrid sitting on a rock, sharpening her axe. "Ah! Uh, uh, what are you doing here?" Hiccup asked awkwardly. Astrid tossed away her stone and stepped off of the rock. "I wanna know what's going on. No one just gets as good as you do. Especially you. Start talking!" Astrid began interrogating him. "Are you training with someone?" Hiccup tried to respond by lying, but failed miserably. "It'd better not involve this." said Astrid she grabbed the viking's armoured vest.

"I-I know this looks bad but, y-you see this is uh," Hiccup started, but Astrid suddenly threw him down and gasped. A sudden noise from Toothless caught her attention. "Uuuh, you're right! You're right. I-I-I'm through with the lies! I-I've been making-outfits! So, you got me." Hiccup tried to stop her from walking to where Toothless was. He placed her hand on his shirt in order to convincer to drag him back. However, she wasn't moving. "Drag me back, here we go- OOOWW! Why would you do that?!" Hiccup said, in pain as Astrid had twisted his arm. She also kicked him. "That's, for the lies." she then let her axe, not the sharp part, drop on his stomach. "And that's, for every thing else!" she finished. Suddenly, a roar from Toothless made her stand on edge.

She gasped loudly and threw Hiccup to the ground once more. "Get down!" she yelled as the Night Fury came bounding over to them. Toothless was in his 'protection mode' and started after her. Astrid got ready with her axe and took a swing but Hiccup pushed her down. He then turned to Toothless. "No! It's okay! It's okay, she's a friend." he said calming down the dragon. Astrid got up and Toothless looked ready for another fight. "You just scared him." said Hiccup.

"I scared him?!" she screamed. She flinched when Toothless made another noise. "Who, is him?"

"Uh, Astrid, Toothless. Toothless, Astrid." Hiccup introduced.

Toothless greeted her with a hiss and a growl. Thus, resulting Astrid to shake her head, scowl, and start to run off. "Da-da-da. We're dead." said Hiccup. Toothless hissed again and stomped off. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where do you think you're going?" said Hiccup. "Hey, Toothless. Come on, we need you kept a secret. She'll go and tell everyone! Come on!" It took a bit of effort to get Toothless to agree to go after her. They eventually got to flying.

After a few seconds, the two spotted her running through the woods. Hiccup timed their dive just as she jumped over a huge fallen tree. Toothless dove down and picked her up in midair. "Aaaaahh! Oh gods! Oh gods! Oh this is- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" she screamed all the way until they placed her hanging from a high tree branch as they rested on the tree top. Once Toothless perched on top, the tree bent wobbling Astrid a bit. "Hiccup! Get me down from here!"

"You have to give me a chance to explain." said Hiccup.

"I am not listening to anything you have to say!" screamed Astrid. He supposed she did have some right for that. "Then I won't speak. Just let me show you." he said calmly. Astrid looked down at the far away ground. "Please Astrid." he said. She slowly pulled herself onto the branch. She reached out to get on to Toothless, who gave a short growl and hiss. But she got on him despite of that. "Now get me down." she said quickly. Toothless got ready.

"Toothless...down. Gently." Hiccup said.

Toothless spread his wings and they slowly began to lift up. "See? Nothing to be afraid of." said Hiccup. Although he was oblivious to Toothless' actual intentions. He did have a mind of his own. He got into position. To go up. With the wind and Astrid's screaming, he could just barely make out Hiccup's words. "Toothless! What is wrong with you! Bad dragon! Ha-ha-ha. He-he's uh not usually like this!" Toothless would have thought that judging from Hiccup's own first encounter with him didn't go so easy. Toothless got ready to do a dive, which made Hiccup utter two words. "Oh no."

He flew down fast, racing towards the ocean water at top speed. He then turned upside down so his back touched the water making larger splashes. "Toothless! Toothless what are you doing, we need her to like us!" Toothless wouldn't give up until he heard Astrid apologise. That was his intentions. As Astrid still didn't say anything other than 'aaaaaaaah', he moved to more drastic measures. He twirled himself around in spirals. Not loop-de-loops, spirals. They're different. "And now the spinning. Thank you, you useless reptile." he heard Hiccup say, who was surprisingly calm in this situation.

Toothless then spiralled downwards towards the waters. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Just get me off this thing!" he finally heard Astrid say. He spread his wings and slowed, or stopped somewhat, just as he reached the water surface. He flew upwards a bit feeling Astrid calm down. They flew into the clouds getting engulfed by them. The sun had begun to set making the clouds a sort of pinkish colour. Toothless then flew a bit higher just above the clouds where the sky was a dark blue. Although it was dark, the Northern Lights appeared making it a wonderful sight. Boy did Toothless miss flying up there. The lights were one of his favourite memories. Soon they came out of the clouds and it was dark over Berk. But Berk looked more beautiful than ever. "Alright. I admit it. This is pretty cool. It's- amazing! He's. amazing." Astrid said. She patted Toothless on the neck a bit.

"So what now? Hiccup. Your final exam is tomorrow." said Astrid. Toothless listened in. It seemed as though his friend was having some kind of problem. "You know you're gonna have to kill a-" Kill? Wait... Kill a what exactly? Astrid said this next part more quietly as if Toothless didn't hear. He was a dragon for crying out loud. He could hear better than any human. But suddenly a familiar sent, signal, and fear washed over him and he completely ignored the humans on his back. "Kill a dragon." he thought he heard Astrid finish. But he didn't care at the moment. They needed to turn around. SOON!

Without warning them, Toothless suddenly dove downwards. "Toothless what's happening?!" said Hiccup. He obviously knew something was wrong. Toothless flew faster, although he didn't want to. That was how the power worked. "Whoa, what is it?" Hiccup said. He growled in response knowing that he couldn't understand. Soon, they were joined, or he joined, other dragons. A whole herd it looked like. Toothless knew something would happen to him and his companions if they didn't turn around. "Get down." said Hiccup, it would be even worse if the other dragons saw Toothless befriending them. This made him more nervous.

"What's going on?" whispered Astrid.

"I don't know. Toothless. You gotta get us outta here bud." said Hiccup. He knew he should. But the power was over...well, overpowering him. At the moment, they could only fly towards...it. "It looks like they're hauling in their kill..." Hiccup said, nervous. This also made Toothless nervous. What would that make Hiccup and Astrid? As if reading his mind, Astrid asked, "Uh, what does that make us?"

The dragons dove down and began flying in between some rocks. They flew until they came to it. The volcano. They flew into a dark tunnel that led into it. Oh gods, there it was! Toothless was beginning to panic. He knew he'd get it. Since he hadn't been seen for about a month or so. That made it seem as though he ran. Or, flew more like it. They were now in a lava pit. The dragons began to drop their kill into it. "What my dad wouldn't give to find this..." Hiccup said, half with awe and half with utter fear. Toothless flew around and finally landed behind a tall stone that jutted out of the hole's side. "Well it's satisfying to know that all of our food has been dumped down a hole." said Hiccup.

"They're not eating any of it." stated Astrid.

The three of them noticed a tiny year old Gronkle flying towards the hole. With a little tiny piece of food. That he threw up. It seemed as though he figured that would be good. Toothless got tense. Well, that was because... He knew the punishment for no food.

Out of nowhere, a huge, gigantic bony dragon head appeared and swallowed the tiny Gronkle as if it were nothing! Toothless heard Hiccup gasp. "What...was that." Astrid said.

All of the other dragons that had landed were frightened. Toothless knew it wouldn't be long before he got sniffed out. The huge dragon looked as though it were going back down, but then it sniffed. "Alright bud we gotta get outta here. Now." whispered Hiccup. He was most definitely right! Toothless glanced at their leader and panic and fear rushed over him. He took off just in time before they were chomped on! All of the dragons began flying out in a spiral making it hard for the beast to get after them. They were finally safe

"It totally makes sense! It's like a giant beehive!" exclaimed Astrid. Well, she had the right idea. "They're the workers and that's their queen!" she finished. Alright Toothless could agree with that theory. He thought it was strange at first...but once she had finished. She was right. "It controls them." said Astrid. They landed in the safe, familiar gorge. Toothless had never thought that he'd be more happy there. But after that encounter, he'd be happier anywhere! "Let's go tell your dad!" said Astrid as she climbed off of him. Toothless picked up on this. His father? Toothless knew for sure that he didn't trust him, and vise versa.

"No! No. No! Not yet, they'll kill Toothless. Astrid we have to think this through. Carefully." said Hiccup. Toothless looked back and forth between the two. Couldn't they agree on anything? Toothless already agreed with Hiccup. Although, that one may be obvious. "Hiccup. We just discovered the dragons nest! The thing we've been after since vikings first sailed here! And you want to keep it a secret? Wha- to protect your pet dragon are you serious?!" said Astrid. Hiccup turned and looked at her because he'd begun walking towards Toothless. "Yes." he said. Dead serious.

Astrid stared a him for a moment. Hiccup turned away from her. "Okay. Then what do we do?" she asked.

"Just, give me until tomorrow. I'll figure something out." said Hiccup.

"Okay." said Astrid. She then punched him in the arm. "That's for kidnapping me." she said. Hiccup looked at her. He turned to his dragon as if he knew the answer to that. They both simply shrugged. Then Astrid gave him a short hug. "That's for... everything else." she said. She glanced at him and walked off back to the village. Toothless stared after her, then looked at Hiccup. "Ah what are you looking at? It's nothing." he said. It was true. (A/N: Yeah... don't hate me- Hiccup and Astrid don't get to together and such. Go ahead and stop reading this if you want cause you're mad! But you might find it interesting to know, that I have plans for him later on...he-he-he!)

Camelot:

One of the knights spotted the two men riding back to Camelot.

Arthur and Merlin entered the court room. Uther stared at Arthur with anticipation. "I'm sorry father. I have failed you." said Arthur. "The last Dragon Lord is dead."

Gaius glanced at Merlin who looked back. He looked as though he could cry at any moment. Rose stepped closer to him and held his hand for support. "All is not lost father." said Arthur. "We have to fight the monster ourselves. So let us ride out, and fight on our own terms. On open ground, on horse back, where we can manoeuver better."

"There's no point." said Uther.

"So what? We stand here, and watch Camelot fall." said Arthur. Uther straightened himself out. "You have my blessing." he said. That was all Arthur need at a time like this. He looked around at the knights. "I need a dozen knights. Those who do not wish to fight, can do so. Those brave enough to volunteer should know, the chances of returning are slim." said Arthur. There was a moment of silence, then Sir Leon, the head knight, stepped forward and nodded to Arthur. Then slowly, other knights began to step forwards. Eventually, all of the knights formed a circle around Arthur.

Berk:

Hiccup and Toothless walked back to the gorge. Suddenly, the wind picked up. Toothless' ears shot up. "You hear some- huh?" Hiccup didn't need to finish his question. He heard it too. A strange undescribable sound... it was like nothing he'd ever heard of before. What was it? Toothless then stared at something in the distance and growled. "What, what is it?" asked Hiccup. Then he saw what he was looking at.

On the other side of the gorge, a strange object appeared. A- a box? A big blue-box. Toothless growled again. The two stared at the thing. Toothless sat back, didn't make a sound and glared at it. He then glanced at Hiccup, then back at it. "What me?" he asked. Toothless looked at him less threateningly. "B-but you're the dragon!" he said. Toothless made a sound that said, 'yeah so?' Hiccup sighed. "Fine ya big chicken." he said. Toothless sat back proudly. He got behind Hiccup and nudged him forwards. "Alright! Alright. I'm going. Sheesh!"

Hiccup slowly made his way to the box. It was strange indeed. Blue, with a black strip at the top that had white- letters? On them. It was in a different language so he couldn't read them. It looked similar to the people from the North. It didn't matter though, he couldn't read it. He heard a sound from Toothless egging him forward. He took a deep breath. What was inside?

Inside the box:

"Where are we now?"asked Mordred. The Doctor had taken them somewhere, but he wouldn't say where until they stepped outside. The only clue they had were the clothes. Mordred was able to keep is original outfit, but Mickey had to change. "And how do we know we won't be in danger when we go out?" said Mickey. The Doctor leaned back against the wall and smiled. He tilted his head towards the doors. Mickey and Mordred looked at each other unsure. Mickey turned to the Doctor. "If I die... I blame you." he said. The Doctor laughed. "You were the one who came with me! You should think about yourself if you're looking for someone to blame." he said.

Mickey thought on that. "Sure. But you're the one who appeared in the first place." he said. This time the Doctor thought. "Hm. Touche." he said. "Well, we can't just waste time standing here, let's go." They headed for the door, but Mordred stopped them. "Wait! I- I sense something. Magic. We should be careful. I'm not sure what it is." he said. The Doctor looked at him. "Are you sure? Can you tell if it's dangerous? Can you tell what it is?" he asked. Mordred shook his head 'no'. "Hm. Alright then. Careful we shall be!" said the Doctor. With that, he joyfully went and opened the doors.

The three of them looked at the scene ahead. It was strange. They were in some kind of gorge. In front of them, Mickey looked down to see a young boy. About the same age as Mordred, maybe a bit older. He looked as though he'd fallen backwards in surprise of their appearance. Mickey looked at the Doctor. "Careful." he said unamused. "Right. 'Let's not believe him because he's twelve.' He has magical powers!" he whispered that last part. The Doctor ignored him. He turned his attention back to the kid who was scared silly. Or just incredibly nervous.

"Well, someone should make the first move." said the Doctor. "Hello! Don't be alarmed or frightened. We're not here to hurt anyone. Just exploring. We're travellers as you might have noticed. Another thing you might or might not have noticed- is that you have a um, dragon sitting right behind you. Growling. At us." the Doctor paused. "Is he yours?"

"I think I figured out what you sensed." Mickey said to Mordred. "And I think the question would be, 'is he friendly?'"

Toothless looked at them. He couldn't help it. He wasn't one to trust people so easily. Especially when they appeared out of nowhere in a blue box. The first man was strange. There was something- odd about him. He sensed something almost, non-human in him. Then there was the other man that spoke. He didn't look like anyone he'd ever seen before. He had short hair, and dark skin. Toothless' eyes then layed upon the child.

His ears perked up. Now he was interesting. Oh yes. He could definitely sense- magic! He had magic! Toothless has only met one other person who had magic in his lifetime. He knew the feeling well. He knew he wouldn't want to hurt him. People who have magic tend to almost feel the pain themselves. They were connected to the earth and it's creatures. The man he'd met before was very kind. There was also the fact that this young man was a child.

He glanced down at Hiccup. He seemed too shocked or something to answer them. Toothless of course couldn't answer. They wouldn't have understood him. Well, unless the magic kid was a Dragon Lord. He'd heard about their abilities from the wizard he'd met before. They were able to talk to dragons. He decided to give it a try. He looked at the young wizard. Luckily, he stared back. "Just who are you guys? What do you want here?" said Toothless. Sadly, the kid gave him a blank look. Oh well. It was worth a shot, right?

"It's like I said before mate, we're travellers. Just exploring. We mean no harm." said the first man. What the- The situation had managed to snap Toothless right out of his defence state. He tilted his head to the side. It had apparently done the same to Hiccup. He looked up at Toothless in the same state of shock and awe.

"Oh! Right. Explanations! First off- I am the Doctor! This here is Mickey and this is Mordred. And our way of transportation," said the first man as he tapped the blue box, "is able to- well, help us translate any language. Very helpful in fact. Language barriers are quite troublesome." said the Doctor. Language barriers. Toothless and Hiccup glanced at each other again. They knew those words all too well themselves of course. Although, it seemed that the blue box could help with that situation. A sound from Hiccup interrupted Toothless' thoughts. "Uuhh..." he said.

Toothless nudged him a bit to get him going. "Uh- I uh, I'm Hiccup." he stammered. Toothless joined in. "Great name I know. But, I've definitely heard worse!" he said. The Doctor laughed. "You and me both my friend!" he said. The other man, Mickey as he was called, spoke up. "I'll bet you have..." he said. His expression was strange. He then looked at the young viking and the dragon. "We just joined him," he gestured to Mordred, "the Doctor has been to- how many places? Speaking of which, you still haven't told us where we were." said Mickey. He was looking at the Doctor.

"Don't assume that I know everything about where we are-" was the reply.

"You're the one that brought us here. What did you just pick a random destination and go there without looking at the names?" asked Mickey. He sounded a bit annoyed. Toothless couldn't blame him. Obviously he was thinking about what they would do if they had landed somewhere dangerous. "Oh sod off, don't get you nickers in a knot. I only do this for new comers. Since that's both of you, well." the Doctor had said that as if it were an everyday thing. Perhaps, for him, it was. The other two just stared at him in disbelief.

Hiccup was about to explain where they were, but Toothless interjected him. "You're on an island called Berk. Land of Vikings. Hiccup here, is one of them." he said. Mickey looked down at him. "Viking. Really?" he paused and looked at Hiccup who nodded. "Cool!" was the response. "I've always wondered what it'd be like to meet one. Although... no offense- but you don't look-"

Toothless interrupted him. Just as Hiccup was about to speak. "His name is Hiccup." he said. Mickey looked up at him. "Oh right. No explanation needed anymore." he said. Toothless sat back proudly. Hiccup looked up at him and sighed. "You're never gonna let me speak again, are you?" he said nonchalantly. Toothless just looked at him sheepishly. Hey, when a dragon is granted the chance to speak to humans- they take it.

Camelot:

Back in the familiar chambers of Gaius, Merlin sat on his bed while holding the carving from his father. He didn't look up what Gaius entered. "Merlin what happened?" he asked.

"I couldn't save him." said Merlin. His eyes began to water viciously. "Merlin." said Gaius.

"He said the Dragon Lord's gift is past on from father to son." said Merlin. Gaius took a step forward. "That is true." he said calmly. Merlin's tears became more frequent. "When I faced the Great Dragon... my magic was useless." Gaius sat down beside him. "Your father wasn't dead. It's only then you can inherit his powers."

Merlin slowly gathered himself up again. "So you think I'm strong enough to stand up to him?" he asked. Gaius took a moment before answering. "Only time will tell." he said.

Berk:

After Hiccup explained the situation that he was in, the three new visitors decided to help him out somehow. "Well. This is quite the situation. I don't think I've heard of anything like it. But, nonetheless, we'll do what we can to help!" said the Doctor.

"That's great! I just can't believe I let it come this far. Half of me wants to show the village how gentle dragons can be, the other half of me thinks that it'll go horribly wrong! Ugh! Not to mention that my dad's personality doesn't help in the slightest..." said Hiccup. He almost sounded defeated. He wasn't sure what he was more afraid of, the Nightmare, or his dad's reaction to him befriending a Night Fury.

"Hm. Well, I'd say do whatever your heart tells you to. The results may be surprising." said the Doctor.

The day had finally come. A huge crowd, more like the entire village, had come to see the fight. Stoik stepped up to calm the cheering crowd. "Well I can show my face in public again!" he laughed. Standing inside the doorway of the arena, Hiccup cringed. The Doctor, Mickey, and Mordred were there in support, and in case something went wrong. "If somebody had told me, that in a few short weeks, Hiccup would go from, well, being uh- Hiccup, to be placed in first in dragon training! Well, I would have tied him to a mag and ship him off for fear he'd gone mad!" said Stoik. The grip on Hiccup's axe tightened as he stiffened. "And you know it! Ha-ha-ha! But! Here we are. No one's more surprised, or more proud. Than I am. Today, my boy becomes a viking! Today, he becomes one of us!" shouted Stoik. Hiccup's nervousness began to make itself known as the crowd cheered.

"Be careful with that dragon." Astrid said. She came through the doors and up behind him. She suddenly noticed three new people. "Uh, Hiccup?" she asked looking at them. He explained who they were. "And...It's not the dragon I'm worried about." Hiccup said. He watched his dad take his seat in the crowd. "What are you gonna do?" asked Astrid. Hiccup didn't look at her. "Put an end to this." he said seriously. "I have to try." He then turned to them. "Guys, if something, goes wrong. Just make sure they don't find Toothless." he finished.

"We will. Just... promise us it won't go wrong." Mickey said. He looked at him. He was about to answer him, but Gobber interrupted. The three hid amongst the shadows. "It's time Hiccup. Knock'em dead." he said.

Hiccup put on his mother's helmet and walked out. The crowd was cheering his name and the cries got even louder as he came into view. He walked up to the weapons and shields that has been placed out. He grabbed a shield, and a small dagger. He could almost hear his dad say 'hm, I would have gone for the hammer.' But, he ignored it. Sort of.

He took a deep breath. "I'm ready." he said. Not actually too sure of himself. He looked at the doors that held the Nightmare. The doors burst open as the dragon flamed his way out. He was angry. He climbed around the caged arena, the crowd on the outside of it, and blew a few flames to make himself be feared. It worked on Hiccup. Then the Nightmare finally noticed him. His eyes narrowed. He lowered himself to the ground in curiosity of the puny viking. He certainly was the smallest of them all.

Back at the doors of the arena, the four watched intensely. "Um, I just realised something Doctor. What if, what if that dragon senses Mordred's magic and comes this way?" asked Mickey. He did have a point there. "We'll just have to tell it not to come over here." Mordred said confidently. Mickey gave him a strange look as did Astrid. She looked at Mickey who shrugged.

"Go on Hiccup! Give it to him!" called Stoik. Hiccup took another breath, and braced himself for what happened next. He dropped his dagger and shield. "What is he doing?" said Stoik. The crowd didn't seem to impressed. "I-it's okay." Hiccup said calmly to the Nightmare. The dragon was even more curious. Hiccup held his hand out to touch his nose. "It's okay." he said again. The Nightmare was still stiffened. This human seemed odd. What was even more odd, happened next. The small human took off his helmet and made eye contact with him. "I am not one of them." he said sternly. He meant it. This got the Nightmare slightly confused. What was he saying exactly...he could hear the crowd be as flabbergasted as he was. Although he obviously didn't show it.

"Stop the fight." Stoik said. As the crowd gasped. "No! I need you all to see this." said Hiccup. This confused and frightened the crowd more. Hiccup reached out his hand to the Nightmare. He seemed to be calming down. "They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them." said Hiccup. He had raised his voice so that everyone could hear him. "I SAID STOP THE FIGHT!" yelled Stoik. He banged his hammer against the steal railing. This made the four by the doors flinch. This was not good.

This caused the Nightmare to loose it's cool. It narrowed it's eyes and became fierce. It saw Hiccup as the target and fired. Hiccup ran and screamed for his life. No! How could his father just do that?! "Out of my way!" he heard Stoik say.

As Astrid ran to the doors, Mordred watched as he took a deep breath. "Help us. Something's gone wrong. We need help. Toothless!" he thought. He sure hoped it worked. He'd never done it with a dragon before. They were able to communicate with him, so he figured he should be able to communicate telepathically as well.

"Hiccup!" screamed Astrid. She had to find a way in there. Soon she found herself trying to protect Hiccup in the ring. "Hiccup!" Astrid called again. This time she grabbed a weapon and slugged it at the Nightmare distracting it. The dragon then went after her. "This way!" yelled Stoik. He'd opened the doors and they both ran through. Except Hiccup got blocked by the Nightmare's flames. He tried to run, but the Nightmare actually pinned him down with one paw. The dragon glared and got ready to fire. Suddenly, a noise caught everyone's attention. A familiar noise of a certain dragon no one's ever seen. No one, but Hiccup, Astrid, the Doctor, Mickey and Mordred. The crowd screamed in fear of the Night Fury that had come because of the Nightmare's shrieks. A blueish white plasma blast had come from Toothless' mouth.

The blast caused the whole caged arena to be covered in smoke. Hiccup felt the Nightmare's paw retreat from him and he'd managed to escape. He then saw his dragon friend attacking the Nightmare! "Night Fury!" exclaimed Gobber.

Soon Toothless had Hiccup behind him protecting him from the frustrated, and angered Nightmare. The Nightmare retreated completely when figuring out that Toothless wouldn't let him near Hiccup. Hiccup then ran up to Toothless.

Among the chaos, no one noticed three new comers join in the action on Hiccup's defence.

Hiccup patted him on the nose. "Alright Toothless, go! Get outta here!" said Hiccup. Toothless couldn't quite understand why he was trapped in a cage with a Nightmare, surrounded by the rest of the vikings. He didn't want Hiccup to get hurt. "Go! Go!" he urged. The two saw the other vikings jumped down from their spots. Ready to attack Toothless.

Then they saw Stoik grab a weapon and head for him. "No dad! Dad! He won't hurt you!" screamed Hiccup. It was no use. The next few scenes happened in a blur. But then Toothless had pinned Stoik down, and was ready. "Toothless! Stop!" cried Hiccup. "No, noooooooooooooo!" Upon hearing his voice, Toothless stopped. He looked at his friend apologetically, and with confusion. But that was soon replaced by fear. "Get him!" shouted a viking. Stoik took this distraction as an advantage and whacked Toothless in the head.

"No! No! No! Please, just- don't hurt him!" cried Hiccup. He tried to go to him, but Astrid and Mickey held him back. "Put him with the others." said Stoik.

Hiccup was then dragged by his father in anger away from the others. "I should have seen the signs." he said. He threw Hiccup down. "Dad-"

"We had a deal!"

"I know, we did, but that- that was before I- oooh! It's all so messed up!"

"So everything in the ring. A trick! A lie."

"I screwed up! I-I-I- should have told you before now, I- just, you... Take this out on me! Be mad at me! But please! Just don't hurt Toothless!" cried Hiccup. Stoik stopped pacing. He turned to Hiccup. "The dragon?! That's what you're worried about! Not the people you almost killed!"

"Uh h-he was just protecting me! He-he's not dangerous!"

"They've killed hundreds of us!"

"And we've kill thousands of them!" shouted Hiccup. He was tired of being pushed around. "They defend themselves! That's all! They raid us because they have to! If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves! They're's, something else on their island dad!" Stoik stopped pacing again.

"It's a dragon th-"

"Their island!" exclaimed Stoik.

Crap.

"So you've been to the nest."

"Uh, d-did I say nest?"

"How did you find it?"

"Uh, no. I-I didn't. Toothless did. Only a dragon can find the island." Stoik got a look of determination in his eyes.

Damn it!

"Oh. Oh no, dad! No! Please! It's not what you think! You don't know what you're up against! It's like nothing you've ever seen!" cried Hiccup. Stoik completely ignored him. He pushed him aside and began to walk out. "Dad, I promise you, you can't win this one! Oh! Dad, no! For once in your life would you please just listen to me?!" cried Hiccup he tried to get Stoik to turn around. He grabbed his arm, but was thrown back. Hiccup landed hard on the pavement. Stoik's eyes had narrowed just as the Nightmare's had. "You've thrown your lot in with them. You're not a viking." he said.

"You're not my son."

Hiccup stared wide-eyed as Stoik left. He felt a sharp pain in his chest at Stoik's words. He felt like crying, but he couldn't. Not now. "Ready the ships!" he heard Stoik say.

Camelot:

The next morning Merlin was helping Arthur put on his armour. Arthur tried to brighten the mood. "Well look on the bright side of things Merlin. Chances are you won't have to clean this place again." he said. It didn't work. "You must be careful today." said Merlin. "Do not force the battle."

"Yes sire!" said Arthur, still trying to lighten the mood.

"I'm serious."

"I can hear that."

"Let matters take their course."

"Merlin, if I die, please..." Arthur trailed off though. "What?" said Merlin. He half expected a smart remark from him. Arthur turned around and looked at him. "The Dragon Lord today. I saw you." he placed a hand on Merlin's shoulder. "One thing I tell all my young knights. No man, is worth your tears." he finished. Merlin nodded. If only he knew. But, instead of Arthur making the smart remark-

"You're certainly not." said Merlin. He walked around Arthur and picked up a sword. Arthur turned to follow him. "What are you doing?" he asked. Merlin looked at him. "I'm coming with you." he said.

"Merlin. Chances are I'm going to die."

"Yeah. Yeah you probably would if I wasn't there." smiled Merlin. Arthur laughed. "Right."

"Do you know how many times I had to save your royal back side?"

"Well at least you've got your sense of humour back." said Arthur. The two men clanked their swords against each other. Then they headed out. Then Arthur stopped and looked at Merlin. "Are you really going to face this dragon with me?"

"I'm not gonna sit here and watch." said Merlin. Even if he hadn't had any magical powers whatsoever. He probably would have gone anyways. "I know it's hard for you to understand how I feel, but," Arthur looked at him strangely, "I care a hell a lot about that armour I'm not going to let you mess it up." he finished. Arthur laughed.

Gaius watched as the two men and the knights of Camelot road out to the Great Dragon.

Berk:

No sooner afterwards, Hiccup found himself watching from a mountain look out. They tied his best friend down and lowered him onto a ship. Hiccup cringed as Toothless struggled to try and get free. He watched as his father glanced up noticing him. He glared down at him. After a few minutes, the ships disappeared. "I'm sorry." said voice behind him. He turned to see Mordred. "What for?" he asked.

"I-I called for your friend." said Mordred. Hiccup looked at him questioningly. "I can communicate with my mind with creatures of magic." explained Mordred. He paused. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have called him. I wanted to help, but it made things worse."

Hiccup didn't really know what to say. "Um, i-it's okay, I mean, all you tried to do was help. Right? Astrid also joined them, and they were soon joined by the Doctor and Mickey. "It's a mess. You must feel horrible. You've lost everything. Your father, your tribe, your best friend..." she said.

"Comforting isn't really your strong hold is it?" stated Mickey. He received a glare from Astrid.

"Thank you. For, summing that up." replied Hiccup. No amusement whatsoever was in his voice. "Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods. It would have been better for everyone."

"Yep. The rest of us would have done it." said Astrid.

"So why didn't you?" asked the Doctor. Hiccup thought before answering. "Why didn't you?"

"I don't know." Hiccup said finally. "I couldn't."

"That's not an answer." said Astrid.

"Why, is this so important to you all of a sudden?"

"Because I want to remember what you say, right now."

"Oh for the love of- I was a coward! I was weak! I wouldn't kill a dragon!"

"You said wouldn't that time." said Mickey.

"Whatever! I wouldn't! Three hundred years and I'm the first viking who wouldn't kill a dragon!" yelled Hiccup. He looked at the others. He then turned around. "First to ride one though." said Astrid. "So..." Hiccup sighed. "I wouldn't kill him, because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him, and I saw myself." he finally said. Astrid looked pleased with herself, as did the others. "I'll bet he's really frightened now. So, what are you going to do about it?" she said.

"Uh, probably something stupid." said Hiccup. Obviously he didn't have a plan. Yet. "Good, but you've already done that." said Astrid.

"Then something crazy." said Hiccup. He looked as though he was getting an idea, then ran off. He thought he heard the Doctor say something like 'that's, more like it.'

Soon, the four of them were joined by the other teens at the arena. "If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronkle." said Fishlegs.

Tuffnut pushed his sister aside and walked up to Hiccup. "You are wise to seek help from the world's most deadly, weapon." he said. "It's me."

He then got pushed aside himself by Snotlout. "I love this plan!" he said. Ruffnut intervened. "You're crazy!" she said. She then leaned in making Hiccup uncomfortable. "I like that." she whispered.

Then, she got pushed aside by Astrid. "So? What is the plan?" she asked. Hiccup sighed in relief. 'Finally!' he thought. He looked around, and smiled. Oh, he had a plan alright. Well, sort of. He stepped back and opened the Nightmare's cage. This time, he was ready. The dragon turned and glared at him. He held out his hand for a friendly gesture. The dragon seemed intrigued. He stepped cautiously forwards. Hiccup backed up to the other teens who were unsure of this idea. Especially Snotlout, who he backed up to. Hiccup was soon right beside him, with the Nightmare right at his reached out hand. He then began to reach for Snotlout's hand. "Uh, wait! What are you-" he asked, clearly afraid. The Nightmare snorted at the sound. "Sh! It's okay. It's okay." said Hiccup. He placed Snotlout's hand on the dragon's nose.

The dragon seemed to take a liking to Snotlout. Snotlout also seemed to be a little relaxed himself. He laughed a bit. Hiccup went to where some weapons were kept. "Where are you going?" asked Snotlout, clearly worried that he was gone. That was a first for Hiccup. "You're gonna need something to help ya hold on." he said. He held up a rope. The other teens looked sort of excited.

They turned around when Hiccup gestured behind them. There stood three other dragons. If you count the two headed one as one.

"Okay. Cool. But, what about them?" asked Fishlegs. He pointed to the three without dragons. "Well, I guess they'll just have to share with someone just as I am. For now. Okay. Who's going with who?" said Hiccup. Snotlout spoke up. "I call magic boy!" he said. The girls rolled their eyes. "Shouldn't that be something for him to decide?" asked Ruffnut. A rare moment when she made sense. Snotlout sighed. "Fine. Whatever." he said.

It wasn't long before they were all riding out to save the day! All of them on dragons! They came to the sight faster than they thought. It looked as though Hiccup's father and Gobber were distracting the dragon queen, whom of which had decided to show it's whole body, while the other vikings went around back. Ruffnut, and Tuffnut were on the Zippleback, along with Mordred and the Doctor, while Mickey was on the Nightmare with Snotlout, Fishlegs was on the Gronkle, and Hiccup and Astrid shared the Deadly Nadder. The queen was about to fire, but the teens were smarter. They shot from behind.

"Tuffnut you think you can lower me to the ground?" asked the Doctor. They did so, and he was shortly on the ground having a word with Stoik and Gobber.

"Ruff, Tuff, Mordred watch our backs!" called Hiccup. He was finally calling the shots! "Move Fishlegs!" he called. He glanced down at the adult vikings. Needless to say, their faces were priceless!

"Look at us! We're on dragons!" shouted Tuffnut. Of course he couldn't hold back, and neither could Snotlout. "We're on dragons! All of us!" he shouted.

"Fishlegs, break it down!" said Hiccup. The four dragons flew almost as one. "Okay! Heavily armoured skull and tale made for bashing and crushing! Steer clear of both! Small eyes, large nostrils, relies on hearing and smell!" shouted Fishlegs.

"Okay! Lout, Legs, Mick, hang in it's blind spot! Make some noise, keep it confused! Ruff, Tuff, and Mordred find out if it has a shot limit! Make it mad!" called Hiccup. The twins looked ready to go. "That's my specialty!" said Ruffnut. Tuffnut intervened. "Since when? Everyone knows I'm more irritating!" he said. With that, he turned his dragon head, they were on the two headed Zippleback, upside down. Mordred sighed. He just had to be on with these two. The dragon growled. "See?" said Tuffnut. Hiccup sighed. "Just do what I told you! I'll be back as soon as I can!" he needed to find Toothless. He heard Tuffnut shout. "Don't worry we got it covered!", or was the Snotlout? Well, that didn't matter. What mattered, was Toothless.

He finally heard a shriek that sounded like the dragon in a small field of fire from the ships. "There!" he said. They came in close, and he and Astrid carefully switched spots. Hiccup then jumped off the Nadder once they were close enough to the ground where Toothless was. "Go help the other's!" he shouted to Astrid. They did what they were told. He turned to Toothless. He was held down by huge metal rings. He grabbed the one around his mouth. "Okay, hold on, hold on." said Hiccup. He pulled that one off. Now it was just for the chains and such.

The dragon queen's tail had whipped around hitting a part of the ship that they were on. This caused Toothless, still tied up, to go under water, along with Hiccup. He couldn't give up! He dove down after Toothless. Hiccup didn't exactly give himself time to get a huge breath before diving, so it wasn't all that long before he needed air. Hiccup's eye sight became blurry as he subconsciously opened his mouth. Since everything was a blur, he didn't know how he ended up on land. For a moment, everything went black. But it didn't take long before his lungs were filled with air, instead of water.

He coughed a bit and slowly sat up. He saw a figure dive into the water. "Dad?" he wondered. It had to be him! No soon after that, he saw his father get dragged out of the water by his loveable best friend. Toothless. He dropped his father down and landed on a rock. He gestured to Hiccup to ride him. "You got it bud!" said Hiccup. He ran up to Toothless and jumped on.

Suddenly his father stopped him. "Hiccup!" he said. He grabbed his hand and looked into him. "I'm sorry. For-for everything." he said. Hiccup looked at him. "Yeah me too." he sighed in relief.

"You don't have to go up there." said Stoik. Hiccup straightened himself out. "We're vikings. It's an occupational hazard." he said proudly. Stoik covered Hiccup's hand in his. "I'm proud. To call you my son." he said. Hiccup breathed slowly. "Thanks dad." he said. With that, he rode off into the skies.

"He's up!" he heard Astrid say. "Get Snotlout outta there!" she said to the twins. Hiccup was slightly shocked, or wasn't shock, he wasn't sure which, that Snotlout had gotten himself stuck on the queen. Without thinking, Snotlout saw them coming, ran and jumped off the dragon just in time for them to catch him. "Can't believe that worked!" he said. He seemed very pleased with himself. They, along with Astrid, passed by the queen's mouth. The mouth had opened and was beginning to suck Astrid in!

Toothless folded his wings in and came around in a dive. He got close enough to fire at the queen's mouth saving Astrid and the Nadder. However, during that process, Astrid had fallen off the Nadder! Toothless dive bombed and snatched Astrid out of the air. "Did you get her?" asked Hiccup. Toothless looked at the girl he held onto and smiled.

As Hiccup returned, he noticed that the others were on the ground. The queen saw them- and was angry. She unfolded her wings. "That thing has wings. Okay, let's see if it can use them!" said Hiccup. Toothless flew up and turned to face the queen. Toothless then dive bombed again and fired at her back. She went down for a second. Toothless flew away, higher into the air. Hiccup looked back. "You think that did it?" he asked.

It didn't. She was up in an instant. "Well, she can fly." said Hiccup. They flew around a few rocks as the crowd cheered them on. "We can do this. Time to disappear!" said Hiccup. He glanced at the clouds that had formed. They shot upwards into them. "Come on bud!" he shouted.

He heard the queen get ready to fire. "Here it comes!" he shouted. They dodged it.

Back on the ground, the others watched. They heard the queen's shrieks. It seemed to be blind up there in the dark clouds. Hopefully Toothless and Hiccup weren't. Suddenly, a shot was fired! It was them! They shot again, and again! The shots looked like lightening in the dark sky.

The queen was super angry now and had given up on trying to find them. She just spirt out a string of fire all over the place. "Watch out!" cried Hiccup. They swerved around the flames just barely. But Toothless' prosthetic tail had gotten burned! Hiccup glanced back at it. "O-o-okay. Times up. Let's see if this works." he said. They turned and flew straight towards the queen. "Come on! That the best you can do?" said Hiccup.

The queen soon caught sight of them and the chase began. "Stay with me buddy, we're good, just a little bit longer." Hiccup said to Toothless. They flew for a bit more. "Hold Toothless." said Hiccup.

He then heard the queen get ready to fire. "Now!" he shouted. They spun around and faced the queen's open mouth. Toothless shot right into it. They came out from in the clouds and were leading the queen straight to the ground. They got out of the way of her just in time. She went down in a fiery explosion. Hiccup and Toothless tried to out fly the flames that gathered around her body. The prosthetic tail was burnt though!

Hiccup began to panic as the queen's tail came flying at them. "No... NO!" he shouted. The tail hit them and sent Hiccup flying off of Toothless. Toothless spun around to see him knocked out and falling into the flames! Time seemed to slow down as he dove down after him.

Camelot:

The full moon arose in the night sky as the knights waited for Kilgarrah to return to Camelot. Then they heard a low growl and wing flapping. It was time. The dragon circled them. "Hold fire." Arthur said as he put on his helmet. The dragon circled. The horses became scared. "Hold." said Arthur. "Hold." The dragon came closer. One of the horses whinnied in fear. "Hold!"

The dragon came at them. "Now!" yelled Arthur. The knights parted away from their circle as Kilgarrah landed in it. Kilgarrah knocked everyone off of their horse, and set fire to something. "Stop. Stop!" cried Merlin. Kilgarrah didn't hear him. Arthur grabbed a weapon and aimed at him. Kilgarrah turned to face him and narrowed his eyes. He then blew huge flames that engulfed Arthur for a moment, but it didn't do anything. Arthur then came back and stabbed the Great Dragon in his left side. The dragon screeched in pain and swiped Arthur off of his feat and on to his back. Knocking him out. Merlin's father's words came into mind.

"You're the last Dragon Lord now. You alone carry the ancient gift. Deep within yourself, you must find the voice which you and Kilgarrah share. For your soul and his. Are brothers. When you speak to him as kin, he must obey your will."

Merlin had now found the power within him. He opened his mouth. He spoke the words of the voice that they shared. The dragon bowed his head and Merlin picked up a weapon that was beside him.

"I am the last of my kind Merlin. Whatever wrongs I have done. Do not make me responsible for the death of my noble breed." said Kilgarrah. Merlin aimed the spear at him which made him flinch. "Go!" he yelled. His eyes were tearing up again. "Leave! If you ever, attack Camelot again! I will kill you!"

The Great Dragon bowed his head. Merlin threw down the spear. "I have shown you mercy! Now you must do the same to others."

"Young warlock. What you have shown, is what you will be. I will not forget your clemency. I'm sure, our paths will cross again." with that, Kilgarrah flew off.

Arthur finally awoke. He looked at Merlin, who was apparently the only one standing after that. "What happened?" Arthur asked, confused.

"He died to a mortal blow." said Merlin. Arthur stared at him. "He's gone?" he asked. Merlin nodded and smiled. "Yeah." he said. "You did it." Arthur laughed in surprise. "You did it." Merlin said again.

Berk:

It was still black. But- he heard a sound. A familiar sound. He wasn't sure if he wanted to, but he opened his eyes very slowly. Then he saw a familiar friendly face. "Hey Toothless..." he said softly. Toothless kept nudging him. "I'm happy to see you too bud." he said. Toothless then accidentally stepped on his stomach, which had some bruises on it. That caused Hiccup to shoot up in pain. "Aah! What the- I-I'm in my house." he said. Then looked at Toothless. "Uh, you're in my house! Does my dad know you're here?" he said, worried. Toothless jumped around excitedly for a bit then came up to Hiccup. "Uh, okay, uh, no! Toothless, no, uh-" the dragon had gotten himself up on a beam above the window. "Oh come on." sighed Hiccup.

He supposed he should get out of bed at some point. But was he ready? He pulled back his bed sheets. He then noticed something different. Well, he wasn't quite ready for that sight. Apparently half of his left leg had been burnt off. It was replaced by a prosthetic metal one. Like Toothless. He swung his legs around to the side of the bed. He was a bit nervous now. Like it was his first time walking. Not that he could actually remember that moment. He took a deep breath. Toothless was right beside him. He stood up and let go of the bed. He took another breath.

He stepped forwards with his metal leg. He stumbled and Toothless caught him. He hadn't noticed the pain in his leg before then. He leaned on Toothless. "Okay. Thanks bud." he said quietly. He then hobbled outside where he didn't know what to expect.

He opened the door only to see a Nightmare in the sky! He closed it quickly. "Toothless, stay here..." he said. He opened the door again. He suddenly recognised the Nightmare as Snotlout was riding it! "Okay guys, get ready!" he called. Hiccup opened the door more.

"What..." he awed. The village was at peace with dragons! Everyone was happy! Hiccup stared wide-eyed at the scene. "I knew it. I'm dead!" he said. He heard his father come up beside him laughing. "No, but you gave it your best shot." he said. "So, what do you think?"

Hiccup looked at the scene again as his father put an arm around him. "Hey look! It's Hiccup!" shouted Mickey. The crowd cheered. They soon were surrounded by everyone. "Turns out all we needed was a little more of...this." said Stoik.

"You just gestured to all of me." Hiccup said. He was still a little bit shocked by the results of his actions.

Then Gobber came up. "Well, most of ya. That bits my handy work!" he said cheerfully. Hiccup looked down at his leg. "With a little 'Hiccup flare' thrown in. Ya think it'll do?" Hiccup glanced up. "I think I'll make a few tweaks." said Hiccup. The vikings laughed. Then Hiccup felt a jolt of pain in his arm as Astrid punched him. "That's for scaring me." she said.

"Wh-what? What is it always gonna be this way-uh-" he was interrupted by her hug. "Meh, I could get use to it." he said as he hugged back.

Then the Doctor came up to him. "Ha-ha. Well. Things wrapped up here quite nicely didn't they?" he said. Hiccup walked up to him. "Yeah, I think so." he said. "Thank you." the Doctor smiled.

"Our pleasure. It's not everyday that I get to fly a dragon." said Mickey. "Or uh, see one for that matter..." The crowd laughed. Apparently during Hiccup's sleep, they had explained their back story and everyone was welcoming them. "You're welcome to stay as long as you want." said Stoik. The Doctor smiled. "I'm sure we'd love to. But I'm afraid that we have to get going. That is unless you want to come with us." he said.

Hiccup smiled. "Yeah, maybe. But I should probably get use to my leg first." he said. The Doctor laughed. "That's probably a good idea. So, we will be back then. At some point in the future." he said. Gobber walked up to Hiccup and handed a brand new tail for Toothless. "Night Fury!" someone shouted. Hiccup turned to see Toothless playfully tackle some vikings. Hiccup laughed and placed the tail on him.

He and the others got ready to fly the three visitors back to the gorge where their ride was.

"A box? What? Ha! That looks like it could only fit one person!" laughed Snotlout. The three walked up to it. "If you think this is good- just wait." said the Doctor. Snotlout then looked confused. The three of them stepped inside.

"Okay Doctor, where to next?" asked Mickey. The Doctor walked around the panel to the screen. "Hm. How about there? I've heard that place is interesting. I've been somewhere around it before. It's quite nice from what I can remember." he said.

"Alright then, let's get going. Give them a sight they'll never forget!" said Mickey. He looked at the vikings in the screen who were still watching. The Doctor smiled and laughed. He pushed a button, and began pulling on the lever. Once again, they were off on another adventure!

Camelot:

Peace was finally going to return to Camelot. The two young men walked through the gates of the castle. Three people ran up to them. Gwen and Rose hugged their friends almost until they couldn't breath, as did Gaius. Eventually they all formed a group hug. After that, Merlin talked to Gaius alone. "I found him there with me. Gaius." he said.

"He'll always be with you." said Gaius. "Merlin I know I could never compare with your father, but for what it's worth. You've still got me."

"Well, I suppose I'll just have to make do." said Merlin. The two laughed and began to head back to their chambers. Things would be normal again the next day.

A/N: Well, well. There it is. Chapter two! Yeah. This is pretty much how it's gonna go. For movies I'll split it into a two part. Otherwise it's an incredibly long chapter lol. It was difficult for HTTYD to include the Doctor and them. So, next time I'll try to do a better job. Don't worry! Love it? Hate it? Confused? Disturbed? Requests? Reviews? I will take requests for what the Doctor and them cross over to! Reviews wanted! Please and thank you!

Oh, and Mordred? Well, I just picked him because I like his character, and seriously. Where was he all of those years? Lol. Hm. Freya... interesting. I shall think about it! :D R & R Please!
