Chapter 13: Battle Of The Red Death

(Hiccup POV)

When we reach dragon island a few hours later, the huge mountain is already out and the remains of fleet is on fire or gone. "No," I breathe as I stare at the burning ships. I know they wouldn't take Toothless off of the ship's, why would they? There's no reason they should. There's shouts and I can hear Dad and Gobber. I look back at the teens, "Fire at the head!" I command they do as I request. There's a blast as their dragons' fire makes contact with the head.

"Ruff, Tuff watch your backs! Fishlegs move!" I yell. The boy and his Gronckle jump fly up, we fly out of range and in the sight line of Dad and Gobber who were small figures on the island.

"Look! We're on dragons!" Ruffnut yells.

"Yeah! All of us are on dragons!" Tuffnut agrees.

I ignore the twins and look at Fishlegs, "Fishlegs break it down!" I yell and shift the Snow Wraith.

He stares at it his eyes squinted, "Okay, heavily armored skull and tail made for bashing and crashing, stay away from both. Small eyes large nostrils, on relies on hearing and smell." He concludes. I nod.

"Okay, 'lout 'legs, hang in it's blind spot, make some noise, keep in confused." I tell them both boys nod and take off in that direction. I look at the twins, "Ruff, Tuff, see it if has a shot limit. Make it mad." I order. Ruffnut grins.

"That's my specialty." She promises.

"Since when? Everyone knows I'm more irritating." Tuffnut says and flips upside down making annoying noises.

I groan,"Just do what I told you, I'll be back as soon as I can." I say.

"Don't worry, we got this." Tuffnut says, I pull the Snow Wraith away.

"I'm sure you do." I mutter. Elsa tightens her grip around my waist but makes no comment. I lead the dragon over the burning ships. I scan the decks for a blob of black. Where is Toothless, he has to be around here somewhere. Toothless is counting on me. He trusts me.

I scan the burning ships the smoke and fire obscuring my vision. I stare at it harder before I spot a small speck of black.

Toothless.

"There!" I cry and let out a breath of relief, I steer the Snow Wraith to the deck and I slowly stand switching places with Elsa. Elsa throws her hand forward and ice spreads across the fire preventing it from moving.

I jump from the Snow Wratih's back and land on the deck of the ship on my feet. I turn and look back at Elsa. "Go help the others!" I yell, she nods and takes off away from my vision. I turn back to Toothless and rip the mussel from his mouth, "Hang on. Hang on!" I say. Toothless looks at me staring as I grab bar from the ground and start to shove at the wood between his chains.

Come on, break, break, break!

A shadow looms over both of us and I whirl around in shock before the huge foot of the dragon slams down on the deck. It snaps down the middle and me and Toothless are tossed into the water.

I land in it with a splash and shake my head to clear my spinning vision before I turn around and shove my way through the water towards Toothless. His chains are making him sink quicker. Like a stone. I reach him and grab the chain tugging on it.

Come on! Do something!

My lungs scream and I tug at the chain in desperation feeling what little energy that wasn't zapped away from the fire leave me. My lungs scream and my breath slips out like I've been kicked.

I am drowning.

Water rushes in where air used to be and I close my eyes. I'm sorry Toothless. My hand lets go of the chain, and I feel myself starting to slip away. My lungs burn and ache.

A force grabs my shirt and drags me to the surface suddenly.

I'm placed on the rocky beach coughing up water forcing my eyes open to see as Dad jumps back into the water. I cough and take in a deep breath before I stand and wait, water dripping from my clothing.

A few seconds later with an explosion of sea water, Toothless bursts from the water and sets Dad down before he lands on the rock shaking off water. He turns to me and jerks his head and the message is clear, come on.

I grin, "You got it, bud." I say and race towards him. I jump onto his back and strap connect the leather cords hanging from my belt to Toothless's saddle. I see Dad move from the corner of my eye but don't look at him. Focusing on the giant dragon.

A hand grabs my own and I flinch, before looking at the person and see Dad has my hand in his own, "Hiccup, I'm sorry….For, for everything." He says.

I shrug, "Yeah, me too."

He looks up at me his green eyes filled with regret, "You don't have to go up there." He says.

I smirk, "We're Vikings, it's an occupational hazard." I say.

We exchange smiles.

He grows serious again, "I'm proud to call you my son." He says and lets me go.

I lift my hand up and look at him, "Thanks, Dad." I say.

Toothless shifts impatiently beneath me and I grab the handles and he takes off into the air. Toothless's wings pump powerfully, and we start to fly around for a second so Toothless can dry off. A wet dragon head can't light it's fire. "He's up!" Elsa yells. "Get Snotlout out of there." Elsa commands. I glance and see Snotlout on top of the monster's head, the twins argue before Snotlout jumps onto the Zippleback's neck and the twins rush off.

"I can't believe that worked!" Tuffnut calls.

The Snow Wraith with Elsa mounted on her back fly by the mouth as the dragon takes a deep inhale. Elsa and her Snow Wraith start to get dragged back. Toothless races at them and a whistling noise echoes in the air. A sound that used to bring terror to me, now, its relief and freedom. Toothless fires a blast and it smashes into the large dragon's head. The Wraith's flight falters and Elsa is tossed from the saddle.

She screams as she falls through the air and Toothless picks up speed, he reaches Elsa's falling body and her screams stop. I look down at the wings but can't see her,"Did you get her?" I ask. Toothless ducks his head down and grunts and affirmative. I give a sigh of relief and Toothless sets Elsa down.

Elsa, slightly breathless says, "Go."

We circle around the Vikings and I look at the huge dragon scanning it. My eyes widen, "That thing has wings!" I realize I pat Toothless on the side of the head, "Okay, let's see if she can use them." Toothless turns and we plummet. Wind blows in my ears and the now familiar whistle of his plasma blast is heard. Toothless fires and the entire dragon tips over, smashing into the ground.

For a second it just sits there. Then the dragon lifts up a huge, tattered and torn wing. It flaps them and It slowly gains air I grip the handles tighter,"Well she can fly." I say. Yay?

Toothless dives into a valley of sea stacks and I look back at the huge dragon. It's snaps at us, but can't reach us. It give a frustrated roar before it starts breaking through the sea stacks in hot pursuit.

I look around us and spot the thick black heavy snow clouds. I grin and click the tail fin, "Toothless, time to disappear." I say and Toothless takes in a sharp steep climb into the clouds. We soar up and I hear the sound of the gas then the spark and I pull Toothless to the side,"Here it comes!" I warn. The fire shoots past us and we rocket higher into the sky. Toothless disappears instantly in the blackness of the of the clouds. The huge dragon gives roars of confusion and frustration.

We finally, finally have an advantage over the monster.

I pat Toothless on the side of his head, "Aim for the wings," I murmur to him. Toothless gives a firm nod and builds up a plasma blast. He fires it at the left wing and Toothless pulls up and we disappear as quickly as we had appeared.

Dive, blast, pull up, repeat.

We continue this pattern until Toothless has one shot left.

I grip the handle tighter as I hear the big dragons roar furiously. A huge fireball spreads through the clouds and I look back at it in horror, "Watch out!" I yell. Toothless pulls away but his tail still gets licked by the flame.

The prosthetic lights aflame, burning merrily. I look back at it and let out a breath through my nose. "Okay, times up." I say and watch the flame as it eats the tail happily for a second before I turn forward, "Let's see if this works."

Toothless turns around and we race to the dragon, "Come on! That the best you can do?!" I taunt. Toothless roars and dices but it's face just to be irritating. The dragon reaches up but cannot snatch us from the air. Toothless's pulls his wings in towards his sides into a dive and I hear the older dragons turn around and starts chase after us. I click the tail and Toothless growls uneasily. "We're good, just a little bit longer."

The dragon takes an inhale and I close my eyes, "Hold Toothless," I whisper and listen, for the spark.

Snip snap.

I rip my eyes open, "NOW!" I yell. Toothless flips around and fires a blast into the dragon's mouth. The green gas ignites and all six eyes of the dragon widen with shock. It tries to spread it's wings but the wind rips through the weakened skin and they tear open, ripping dives in through one of the holes and we reach the back of the dragon.

The older dragon smashes into the ground and a huge fireball erupts around us. Toothless and I start to navigate through the tall spikes much like we had the sea stacks until a horrible snapping noise catches my attention I snap my head around and see as the prosthetic tail flies off into the fire

Not now! Please not now!

"No," I breathe. I whip my head around and see the huge tail in front of us, my eyes widen as Toothless hits the giant spikes off the tail. My left leg smashes against one of the spikes. Black edges at my vision.

I stare up at Toothless. He flips around and roars something that sounds exactly like my name.

Fire bites into my back and I lose consciousness as the flames swallow me whole.
