Chapter 27
The loss
Hiccup watched in horror as the scarred madman who proclaimed himself as 'Dragon God' along with his dark dragon slave posed for the final strike.
The Dragon Prince urged Toothless to rush over his fallen father and his giant friend. His girlfriend was confused at first until she saw the downed chief and king. She too urged Toothless to move faster.
But they were too late.
The bull hook of the scarred madman and the twin giant tusks struck at the same time.
Two roars of pain were heard. They drowned the clashing of metals. They drowned the roars of the dragons. They drowned the cries of pain from the fallen soldiers and Berkians.
The two roars put the war to a halt. Nobody made a move to strike their opponents. Nobody raised their weapons. Nobody breathed. The only sound that was made was by Hiccup's cry.
The Dragon Prince watched with teary eyes as Stoick and Bigbee roared in pain as the bull hook and the tusks went deeper into their guts before forcefully yanked out, spilling blood all over the place.
Before Toothless could even crash landed meters away from the fallen chief and king, Hiccup was already off from the saddle and stumbled toward the two fallen duo. Toothless and Astrid didn't budge from their spot.
"Dad! Bigbee!" Hiccup yelled as he ran to them, tears swelling in his slit green eyes. The said duo was coughing, alive but on the verge of death.
Stoick and Bigbee were practically beside each other, both facing the same fate. Two pairs of green eyes, one was round while the other was slit, locked onto one single form that placed between them. Hiccup knelt between them, looking back and forth from his father to his giant friend.
All the while Drago grinned evilly and commanded his dark Bewilderbeast to hold for a moment. He will let Hiccup spend his time with the dying duo as an insult to injury to add more injury to the insult.
"S… Son," Stoick started as he reached out and cupped his son's face. His voice had lost its sharp edges and much weaker than ever.
::Young prince:: Bigbee murmured, blowing a cloud of cold mist toward Hiccup. His mist had lost its comfortable coldness and more insignificant than ever.
Hiccup looked back and forth at Stoick and Bigbee, worried about their health. He tried; he tried so much to not believe that the two will not be there in any time soon. So much he tried to not believe in that but he knew that they will be gone judging by the amount of blood oozing.
Stoick, as he held his son's face, memorized his face with tired eyes, fully aware that he will be gone any minute. But he will savior his last moment with his son before he gone. He sighed, gaining the attention from Hiccup.
"Ye… came… early into this world," the dying chief slowly started, running his massive hand over Hiccup's messy auburn hair. "Ye such a wee… little thing; so frail… so fragile," he added. Stoick still remembered the time when he first held his tiny son in just one hand. Hiccup was just so small that time. "Yer mother… feared ye would… never make it," he stated out a fact. He coughed, feeling the blood in his mouth but he wasn't finish. He gazed straight to his son's bewildered eyes.
"But I never doubt it," Stoick firmly grasp Hiccup's shoulder with all strength he had left as he lay there on the hard ground. "I always said to yer mother ye'll become the strongest of them all," then a slow yet painful deep chuckled was heard.
Stoick and Hiccup turned their attention to Bigbee who had been listening the whole time. The fallen dragon king had a small grin on his face despite the extreme pain he felt.
::And he was right:: Bigbee commented, making Hiccup surprised a bit. ::You… had taken down the tyrant Red Death of the North all by yourself… with your trusty friends beside you:: Bigbee whine a little when he felt the pain intensified, but he wasn't finish. ::You have the courage to face the tyrant alone, even… willing to go without backups and all:: the dragon king wheezed but firmly kept his eye contact with his successor.
::For those days we had… spent time together, even if they were less than… a month, I grew fond of you, young prince:: Bigbee stated. ::Like your sire, I… never doubt that you'll be strongest of them all. I really am proud of you:: he then grinned at Hiccup. ::You could say… it was the pride of a father:: Hiccup's eyes widened in shock.
::Your sire and I… could never be more proud of you::
"I don't know what he said, but I agree with him," Stoick and Bigbee shared a painful chuckle before they winced at the pain. Their breaths labored for a moment before they both looked at Hiccup straight into his eyes.
"You have the heart of a Viking"
::And the soul of a dragon::
Stoick and Bigbee took a deep breath.
"Only you can bring our worlds together"
::Only you can bring our worlds together::
Astrid, who also had been listened the whole conversation, suddenly got struck by a realization.
"That is who you are," she whispered to herself as she looked at Hiccup who was bewildered.
Both Stoick and Bigbee shared the same smile as they stared at the bewildered Hiccup. Suddenly, their eyes began to droop, their bodies began to weaken. Hiccup began to panic.
"Dad! Bigbee! No, stay with me!" Hiccup shook both his father and his giant friend. "Stay with me, please!" his eyes began to tear up at the thought of losing both his father and his giant friend. The grin on both Stoick's and Bigbee's faces were still present as they released their final breath.
"Son…"
::Young prince…::
Their eyes were already closed but they put their last strength to give Hiccup their final words as Drago took the time to take action.
"That is enough. Take control of the dragons!" Drago ordered his dark Bewilderbeast. The dark dragon threw his head up and roared in command.
But no dragon made a move to his command. The dark Bewilderbeast roared again, a bit more forceful this time. But still no dragon made a move to bow before him. They stood still in the air and on the ground, staring at their fallen king.
…And their soon-to-be king.
"What's happening?" Drago question in confusion as he wondered why the dragons weren't obeying his dark Bewilderbeast's command. Unless…
Stoick and Bigbee took their last breath to speak to Hiccup.
"You… are now the chieftain of Berk"
::You… are now the king of dragons::
That was their last breath. Stoick the Vast, chieftain of Berk, and Bigbee Bewilderbeast, king of dragons, had passed away while sharing the same smile, same pride, over the same person.
The dark Bewilderbeast actually heard what Bigbee stated. He glared angrily at the young human who stood between Stoick and Bigbee looking down.
::A CROWNED PRINCE!? IMPOSSIBLE!:: the dark Bewilderbeast bellowed in rage. He took a deep breath, gathering his ice in his mouth and fired toward the human.
Toothless saw it coming. He rushed toward his human boy, making Astrid stumbled off from his back and onto the hard ground. She sat up and watched in horror as the icy breath of the dark Bewilderbeast drew closer to Hiccup, who stood silently and gazed into his hands.
Luckily, Toothless reached him first and wrapped himself around Hiccup. But both of them got engulfed by the ice. Two shrieks of horror were heard as Drago and his Bewilderbeast laughed.
A certain four-winged dragon landed and his rider jumped off and rushed toward the icy block at held her son and his dragon.
"Hiccup," she scraped the ice, trying to tear them away to reveal her son. She even pounded the ice but they were too thick. Drago only laughed even more.
Suddenly, a familiar screech was heard and the ice suddenly glowed in bright blue color. The light intensified every second and Valka suddenly got scooped up by Cloudjumper a split second before the ice exploded.
Toothless, standing on his hind legs, roared menacingly at the dark Bewilderbeast as his body glowed as bright as his own plasma blast. His wings were wrapped in front of him, safely casing a person.
The glowing Night Fury opened his wings and dropped back to all four, still glaring at the giant baffled dragon. Toothless then averted his eyes to his human boy, his eyes now dilated.
Hiccup didn't even move when the ice surrounded them; he didn't even flinch. He just stood there, staring into his palms. Now, his hands were clenched tightly by his side as his eyes were closed. Then, he lifted his head and opened his eyes to glare at the dark Bewilderbeast. The giant dragon took a step back upon the gaze he received.
It was the look of the Dragon King.
