Second Chance
Chapter 11
Hiccup ran straight to his hut and changed into his riding gear. He watched as Asa carried Sylvia to her bedroom, thankful she was being watched by one of the elders. He grabbed his helmet and waiting outside on Toothless while Asa changed. He could see Astrid, Fishlegs and the twins waiting on their dragons by the boats. He sighed and glanced at Heather and Liam as they landed beside him.
"I hope this doesn't blow up in our faces." Liam sighed, stroking his Fireeyes' head. The Nadder gave a small growl. Asa walked and climbed on Shimmer's back, pulling her hair up out of her face. She gave Hiccup a firm nod before the four riders flew to the beach. Stoick greeted them, standing beside Astrid.
"We only have one shot at this. Asa, Heather and I will go ahead and try and slow Spitelout down long enough for the rest of you to get there. Astrid, Fishlegs and the Twins I want in the air with me the second you see us." Hiccup ordered. The Vikings stood around, amazed at how easily he gave orders. Stoick nodded, frowning. Hiccup looked to his wife and nodded. The two night furies took to the sky and flew towards the main island. Hiccup watched for any sign of Spitelout on his father's ship.
"Where could he be? He couldn't have gotten that far." He muttered. He glanced at Asa and noticed she was looking off towards the clouds. He carefully flew Toothless beside her.
"Are you alright?" he questioned softly. She glanced at him silently.
"Hiccup…what if we don't make it out of this? What about Sylvia?" she whispered softly. Hiccup carefully reached over and grabbed her hand. He gave her a smile.
"Nothing is going to happen." He promised. He gently kissed her before he pulled away and righted himself. He looked around and let out a relieved breath when he saw his father's main ship. He whistled to Shimmer before he angled Toothless' tail fin and flew down lower.
"Spitelout!" he yelled, landing on the deck. Spitelout stood, steering the boat. He glared at Hiccup as the young man climbed off the black night fury's back.
"You may have your father fooled but you don't have me fooled. You aren't going to protect those devils!" he yelled. Hiccup only sighed and rolled his eyes. Asa landed on the deck next to Toothless.
"Spitelout, I'm not going to stop you. However, you can't fight that dragon on your own. Stop this. Waiting for the others to arrive." Hiccup stated, holding up his hands. Spitelout glared at him but gave a reluctant nod. He had a tight grip on his axe as Hiccup stepped closer and closer. Asa growled and moved to get off Shimmer, stopping only when Hiccup held up his hand. He climbed back on Toothless, watching as the main island began to get bigger and bigger. He didn't like being on a boat but didn't trust Spitelout not to use the catapult when they reached the island.
"Hiccup, we can't just sit here and babysit! He's a grown Viking! Sylvia is two and doesn't need to be watched nearly as much as he does." Asa grumbled, crossing her arms. Spitelout growled and threw his axe, narrowly missing her head.
Toothless easily knocked Spitelout's feet out from under him. Hiccup stood over him angered. Before he could say anything, the boat shook as they landed on the beach. He glanced over his shoulder and released a sigh when he spotted the three other boats. He climbed on Toothless' back and held on as he flew up into the air. Shimmer quickly followed, flying next to them as they waited for the other riders.
Stoick jumped off the boat, ignoring Spitelout as he looked up at the mountain.
"When we crack this mountain open all hell is gonna break loose." Stoick stated as the other Vikings joined him. Liam landed on the ship, grabbed the lever of the catapult, watching for Stoick's signal. He pulled it when the Berkian chief raised his hand. The stone boulders easily broke through the wall. The Vikings on the ground gripped their shields and weapons, waiting for the dragons to attack.
"Attack!" Stoick thundered, running towards the mountain as all the dragons suddenly flew out. Astrid frowned when Hiccup held up his hand, signaling for them to not attack. She looked around confused as the dragons flew away without attacking them.
"Is that it? I thought you said there was something bigger?" Tuffnut yelled. Before Hiccup could say anything a loud roared filled the air as the Red Death broke through. The huge queen dragon stood tall, let out another loud roar. Stoick stood there, looking up at it wide eyed.
"Odin help us." He muttered.
"Back to the boats!" Spitelout yelled.
"No! No!" Stoick yelled, trying to stop them. The dragon suddenly unleashed a huge breath of fire, easily destroying the ships. Hiccup glanced at Liam when he flew up beside the other riders.
"I need you guys to distract it long enough to get everyone out of harm's way! Heather, Liam I want you two to lead them to the far side of the island!" Hiccup ordered. The two riders nodded and flew closer to the Vikings.
"Snotlout, Fishlegs hang in its blind spots! Get it confused! Ruff and Tuff make it mad!" Hiccup ordered. The four Berkians quickly started to fly around the huge dragon to confuse it. Asa and Hiccup flew around it just out of its range, firing at it every chance they got. Hiccup growled annoyed when Snotlout was suddenly knocked from the Monstrous Nightmare. He went to fly closer, barley dodging the huge ball of fire. Snotlout held his hammer tight, hitting it in one of its many eyes.
As Hiccup flew closer he realized the huge dragon had wings. He smirked and flew back up next to Asa.
"That thing has wings. Let's see if it can use them!" he yelled. She smirked and nodded, watching as he flew back down towards the others.
"Ruff, Tuff get Snotlout out of there!" Hiccup yelled. The twins nodded and flew towards the dragon's head, Snotlout running. Hiccup watched as his cousin jumped and landed on the Zippleback. He went to fly back when he saw the Red Death open its mouth, his eyes widening when he saw Astrid and Stormfly being sucked back as it sucked in air. He growled and turned Toothless.
"Plasma blast bud!" He ordered, pointing towards it. Toothless released a purple flame, hitting it hard enough to knock its head aside. The impact ended up sending Astrid tumbling off her dragon. Hiccup quickly adjust the tail fin. Asa could only watch as Toothless dived and pulled back up.
"Did we get her?!" Hiccup questioned. Toothless looked under him and made a noise when he saw he had caught Astrid between his claws by her arms. Toothless lowered himself, easily dropping her safely to the ground among the other Vikings. He flew back up, hovering just over the Red Death across from Asa.
"Now!" he yelled. Toothless and Shimmer both released plasma blasts. Everyone could only stand and watch wide eyed as the dragon slowly opened its large wings and started to beat them. It growled, its eyes carefully watching the two night furies.
"Asa! It's time to disappear!" Hiccup yelled. She nodded, knowing what he'd meant from the years of practice. Both riders flew up into the clouds. Asa glanced back to make sure they had been followed. The Red Death was beating its wings, following them into the dark clouds.
Stoick stood next to Astrid, watching helpless as flashes of blue, red and purple shone through the clouds. The silhouettes of the three dragons could barely be seen as the battle raged on in the clouds. Astrid was standing beside the chief, watching for any signs of Hiccup.
Hiccup easily hide among the dark sky and the black clouds. Asa made sure to stay hidden the best she could. When the Red death had its back towards her she patted Shimmer's head once to signal for an attack. They didn't want to risk using any sounds other than what they had to. As the battle raged on Hiccup could tell the dragon was just getting angrier. It released a large stream of flames right as Hiccup flew through it. Toothless' tailfin caught fire, causing the duo to jerk.
"Hold on just a little bit longer!" Hiccup yelled as he struggled to control the night fury.
"Hiccup!" Asa screamed, flying towards him when she saw the flaming tailfin.
"It's now or never!" He snapped. The Red Death was beginning to gather gas in the back of its throat to release another round of flames. Hiccup watched, waiting for the right moment.
"Now!" he yelled. Toothless let lose a blast at the same moment as Shimmer. The combined blast ignited the gases in the dragon, burning it from the inside out. Asa and Shimmer managed to pull up from the dive just before the dragon hit the ground, causing an explosion. Hiccup and Toothless franticly tried to fly out of the way. Shimmer quickly dove down to help against Asa's protests. None of the four saw the dragons huge tail as Hiccup looked down panicked when Toothless' tail finally disintegrated. He jerked his head up when he heard Asa's panicked screams, wide eyed as the large spiked tail hit them.
"Asa!" he yelled as his wife's small body was thrown from the white night fury. He heard Toothless yell as he jerked himself backwards. He knew Toothless was trying to catch him as he struggled to reach Asa. The flames felt hot against his skin the closer they fell. Hiccup had nearly grabbed Asa's hand when sharp when went through his body as a panicked Toothless tried to right himself to catch his rider. He felt body connect with the side of the mountain before everything went black.
On the small beach Stoick looked around in panic for any sign of his son, Asa or the night furies. His eyes landed on the white night fury not too far from them but the other three were nowhere in sight. Liam and Heather looked around frantic for their chief and chieftess.
"Asa! Hiccup!" Heather screamed, looking for them among the rubble and debris.
