Well here is Chapter 2.

I'm sorry that it took so long to get this chapter out, I have to study for final exams :'(

I will be alternating chapters for this and 'More Than a Shadow', although there is only one more chapter after this anyway so that change won't last long.

Anyway, it seems like some people like this short story so thank you for those that do :)

Remember that this story is close to HTTYD2 (with a few changes) so if you have not watched the movie, (I don't know why you haven't yet) go and watch it and then come back to this. Otherwise I spoiled the movie for you (kinda)

I will respond to the reviews from the first chapter:

goodowen2001: I'm glad you kinda liked it, not everyone is going to like what I put out.

TheIronGhost1223: Thanks for the complement! :)

Guest (Guest): How could I? 'Cause I'm a shit, that's why. ;)

Anyway, here is Chapter 2 and I hope you enjoy it :)

The explosion echoed throughout the valley surrounding the mountain of ice. Overhead, Astrid and Eret to turn see the source of the explosion. Smoke still rises from where Hiccup once stood; he now lay motionless after ricocheting off an ice wall that was behind him. "No…" is the only thing Astrid could mutter out of her mouth. Her heart sinks and her eyes fill up with tears. She lands her dragon Stormfly and quickly runs over to her boyfriend. She turns to see Toothless, still possessed by Drago's Bewilderbeast, panting after firing the deadly blast. Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut land on their respective dragons behind her. She runs up to Hiccup along with Stoick and Valka. Gobber drops down from the beached ship and hobbles over towards everyone. The Vikings take off their helmets out of respect for their fallen heir. Astrid drops to her knees, tears streaming from her eyes. "HICCUP!" she screams. She places her head down on his chest; she feels no breath and no heartbeat. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is dead, killed by his best friend. Stoick and Valka drop to their knees; their only son was gone.

The alpha releases its possession on Toothless; his pupils dilate to a round state and he shakes his head. Opening his deep green eyes, he sees Vikings surrounding his rider, his best friend. He runs up to the group of people surrounding Hiccup. He murmurs noises that sound like a sad 'No'; tears are starting to form in his eyes. He sniffs Hiccup's non-amputated leg and keeps nudging it, hoping that his rider would wake up. He looks up to see Astrid and Valka crying, with Stoick holding in his emotions; a lone tear slides down his cheek. Stoick doesn't remain stoic for long, "We thought we could train them, trust them," he whimpers. "But in the end, they still turned on us." His voice turned from sorrow to anger. Stoick stands up and points his sword at Toothless. "I will kill the devil who murdered my son!"

Toothless backs up in fear; Astrid and Valka jump up and place themselves between the Chief of Berk and the Night Fury. "You know it wasn't his fault, Stoick," says Valka.

"Then if it wasn't his fault, it was his!" Stoick points the sword at Drago, who laughs menacingly at his kill; he killed the so called 'Dragon Master'. Stoick charges Drago, who himself gets ready for the fight. Toothless rubs his eyes with his paw and roars; he charges towards the mad man, easily outrunning Stoick. Drago roars loudly in attempt to scare the Night Fury into submission; Toothless however is determined to kill. Drago rolls at the last second out of the way for Toothless's pounce. The Night Fury lands and prepares to shoot Drago from behind with a plasma blast. The Bewilderbeast looks at his master being threatened and attempts to possess the Night Fury once again; Toothless halts his shot and falls to the ground in agony before rising again under possession.

Drago points his bull hook at Stoick as the chief just made it to him. "Don't move," he growls. He motions with his head to the possessed Night Fury before looking at Stoick. "Or you will be next. Take my word for it when I say that he will not miss." Stoick drops his sword and surrenders to Drago, knowing that Berk would not survive without a chief, or an heir to the tribe. "And you," growls Drago while pointing his bull hook to Astrid who was protecting her deceased boyfriend's body. "I told you that I alone control the dragons. No one can stop me now." He swings his bull hook above his head; at the shore, his Bewilderbeast roars, taking control of all the dragons in the area. Toothless walks up beside Drago and he mounts the dragon, making everyone cringe in defeat. Toothless flies up and hovers in the air high above the Berkians. "I will give you the dignity to choose how you die here. You either starve to death, or you kill each other," roars Drago. He points his bull hook at Hiccup, "I made your decision more difficult either way; killing the hiccup would have been the easiest part on your behalf, so I did it for you. And you wanted to make him chief." Drago chuckles menacingly before flying off towards the shore. Astrid's face turns into a scowl; Drago's words hurt her. He killed the man she loved, and then he dishonoured him in front of his family and friends. "Gather the men and meet me at Berk!" yells Drago loud enough for the dragon riders to hear. Their faces turn to sorrow and hate, before turning back towards their fallen rider.

"May the Valkyries welcome you as you walk through Odin's great battlefield. May they sing your name with love and fury so that we may hear it rise from the depths of Valhalla and know that you have taken your rightful place at the table of kings. For a great man has fallen; a rider, an heir, a son, a friend," whimpers Gobber as he hands a bow and arrow to Stoick and Valka. They look at each other hesitantly before lighting their arrows on a nearby fire. They nock their arrows and draw back. They breathe deeply before firing their arrows, both landing on a ship cast out not too far from the shore. The ship held Hiccup's body, set on top of a pyre to be burned. Gobber, Fishlegs, Eret, The Twins, and Snotlout all light their arrows, nock them, and send them towards the ship.

Astrid however hesitated; she was the only one to not fire an arrow toward Hiccup's funeral pyre. She held too many memories of Hiccup, especially from the last 5 years. She remembered meeting Toothless for the first time and the romantic flight that changed her view on dragons, all thanks to Hiccup. Stoick walks up to her. "You can do it lass," he whispers. She draws back her arrow and while holding back tears, fires it towards the ship; it lands next to Hiccup's head. She drops to her knees and lets all of her emotions go; Ruffnut and Valka go up to comfort her.

"I'm sorry Hiccup," she was able to whimper between bursts of crying. The Berkians remain silent for a moment to honour the Pride of Berk.

"I have a lot of regrets. My first one is not being a better father. For the first 15 years of his life, I ridiculed him, disowned him, being annoyed by his presence. I thought he couldn't be one of us. However, Hiccup had a different viewpoint than any of us; he was able to show us that the dragons are not the beasts we were fighting for the last 300 years. He changed Berk for the better; he saved all of our lives and the lives of the dragons. I cannot imagine a better Berk than what it already is now; our home is perfect because of him. He would have made an excellent chief, probably better than me. We will honour him; he died a hero's death. He died trying to protect his own," says Stoick with difficulty but with pride in his saddened voice. He looks down at his feet. "We need to go back to Berk; they need us."

"How? Drago took all the dragons, and we just burned the last boat to honour your son," asks Gobber. "Great planning on our behalf," he mutters. Stoick glares at him.

Everyone looks at Stoick for an answer when Valka breaks the silence. "He didn't take all of the dragons."

Well that is the end of Chapter 2.

I will be honest, I got slightly emotional because I thought 'what if this actually happened?' I mean I got emotion during the actual scene in How To Train Your Dragon 2 (Just swap Hiccup and Stoick). RIP Stoick the Vast :'(

Anyway I am thinking that there will be one more chapter.

Will Berk be saved or will Drago win the war?

Which ending would YOU want to happen? Let me know in a review.

You guys are Awesome :)
