Toothless's green eyes widened horror as he instantly recognized his dear friend. His dear friend Hiccup, who had now been taken over by Nightmare sand. The Nightmare sand which was forcing him to smirk demonically at his own friend. The Nightmare sand which had turned his kind green eyes into a sinister wolf-like yellow color.
The black dragon lifted his head over his friend's shoulder, seeing the Nightmare King grin with sadism. He let out of roar of fury and went to swipe the at Boogeyman, only to have a complete shock of horror when an axe nearly sliced through his skull. Toothless easily dodged to the blow, his green eyes filled with confusion and horror when he saw it was Hiccup who was holding the deadly axe!
Toothless let out a low roar of fear and confusion, to which Hiccup responded with a dark laugh. "Why?" The Dragon Master questioned evilly, gazing into his "friend's" eyes with his own. "I never took pity on you, you miserable beast. I wanted so desperately to kill you, to become the dragon killer that my stupid father – that every single damned Viking in Berk – wanted me to become. All that time I'd been 'helping you fly' was all an act. I only wanted to gain your trust . . . all so that I could control you without mercy."
Toothless's heart broke in two. He didn't want to believe that his dear friend was doing this to him! Hiccup had saved him from Stoic, giving him a prosthetic tail fin and helped him to fly, and even convinced him it was never his fault for killing Stoic while under the control of the Bewilderbeast!
Hiccup, finally having enough of this dragon's pitiful whimpering, held the axe above his head and sneered. "Join your precious dragon friends in hell," he snickered, bringing the axe downwards.
Right before the axe could slice through the dragon's skull, a blast of ice knocked the axe into a wall, causing Hiccup and Pitch to glare to their left. Having arrived in the nick of time was Jack Frost, Rapunzel, and Merida!
"What do you think you're doing, Hiccup?" Jack demanded, his blue eyes tearing up with confusion. "He's your friend!"
"Toothless," Rapunzel soothed him, instantly guiding the dragon towards her own safe and warm hands. After stroking the dragon three times, she gazed up at the Dragon Master with horror.
"Hiccup, you can't do this!" Merida said, nearly falling to her knees in shock.
"Oh?" Hiccup questioned evilly. "I can't? I'm the 'chief' of Berk! I'm the one and only dragon master!"
Jack tried to reason with his friend. "You were always finding ways to-"
"'Make peace'?" Hiccup interrupted, cackling and revealing a large Scimitar sword from literally out of nowhere, flames engulfing the deadly blade. "Peace is over! I've had enough of such peace! Friendship? Tranquility? Brotherly love? What a load of crap!"
He gently caressed the blade with a finger, not bearing a single cut or burn after his finger roughly slid off of the blade. Looking back up at his 'friends', he began to smirk menacingly. "Times have changed, my dear foolish friends. Soon I will become the ruler – not only of Berk, but of the entire world! And the world itself, with help from my dragon minions, will be reduced to nothing but ash!"
Jack held up a hand, trying to calm his friend. "Hiccup," he tried once more to convince his friend. "Please. Snap out of it. You're a good boy. You're loyal, kind, understanding, and-AHHHHHHH!" The winter spirit stumbled backwards in pain, watching as the wound in his chest began to burn with heated agony.
"See what happens when you play with fire?" Hiccup questioned deviously, revealing sharp teeth in the usually kind smile. "Now, why don't all three of you go back to that precious North Pole of yours? Try and devise a plan that would 'save' my poor corrupted heart?" He pointed his flaming blade at Jack's still burning wound. "Or would you like the agony from that wound to increase a hundred times fold?"
Without any other choice, Jack flew off into the air with Rapunzel and Merida holding onto Toothless as they all flew away.
"My dear pet," Pitch's voice whispered seductively in Hiccup's ear, "would you like to have some fun? I'm sure your dear friend Jack has told you all about fun." He glanced over at the globe, in which one light glowed brightly than the rest. Looking back at his slave, he sneered with evil. "Why don't we give little Jamie Bennet a nightmare he won't forget?"
"And watch as Frost squirms and begs for mercy?" Hiccup chuckled, inhaling deeply. Already he could see the devastation in Jack's eyes as his one and first believer would suddenly be gone . . . forever. "Yes, we shall, my King."
Pitch summoned up two Nightmares, his favorite Onyx and another for Hiccup. "Name her if you wish," Pitch offered, stroking the back of the Nightmare's head.
Hiccup smirked, already thinking of the prefect name. "Nightshade," he said, gently stroking the mare's head. Nightshade gave a whinny of approval.
"Lovely name," Pitch observed with a nod. "Now why don't we visit little Jamie for a short while?"
"Yes, my King," Hiccup bowed his head in submission. He glanced back over at the globe and looked back over at his King. "Give me a few minutes."
"Of course, my slave," Pitch offered, gently nudging Onyx with his foot and allowing her to gallop away into the sky.
Meanwhile, Hiccup smirked evilly at the globe, seeing as how every single child's light gleamed brightly. Soon, he thought to himself, there won't be any guardians. Not a single child's light – or life for that matter. And . . . no more Pitch.
Giving out a cruel laugh, he leaped upon Nightshade's back and gripped on tight to the bridle that appeared out of nowhere, following Pitch close behind.
