In the kingdom of Xeovell, Gustav was facing a giant threat to his kingdom. Appearing out of nowhere was a giant stone figure that towered over the entire city.
"Knights and apprentice knights," said Gustav looking to his men. "Protect the people and evacuate them right away!"
"Yes, sir!"
Gustav looked at the colossal creature that stood over his kingdom and began to wonder where it came from.
Ruby found herself in a field of flowers and was deeply confused on how she got there.
"How did I get here?" she pondered. "Somehow I can't remember anything."
A flyer then immediately flew into her hands, she looked at it and saw that it was the wanted poster for Hiccup.
"Wait a minute, that's right I'm looking for Sir Hiccup," she said.
"Ruby!" said a faint voice in the distance. "Ruby! Come on, snap out of it!"
Ruby then awoke and found that she was lying down in the middle of the street. She lifted her head up and saw Hiccup and Ragnar watching over her.
"Sir Hiccup?" she frowned.
"What a relief," said Hiccup deeply relieved. "Are you okay?"
"Yes," she said as she lifted herself up. "But how did I ended up here?"
"Astrid made everyone in the entire kingdom blackout at once," Hiccup explained.
Ruby's eyes lit up when she remembered. "It's horrible, Lady Astrid and Heather are…"
Astrid had drew Bloodfury and was swinging it straight at Heather, who began to dance around in order to avoid her swings.
Astrid looked at her closely. "Strength: 950. As expected for giant, who knew that you're physical abilities would come this close to Hiccup's even at human size. Unfortunately for you, my strength level hasn't been reduced in the slightest and I have a Secret Treasure."
Heather then immediately made some hand gestures. "Grill and Roast!" Suddenly shooting out of the ground were two golems that stood in the side of Astrid. "Go!"
They immediately swung their fists directly at Astrid, but she was more than prepared.
"Valkyrie Whirlwind!" she yelled and began spinning around.
Her spinning was so powerful that it created a small hurricane that sliced right through the two golems. One she stops spinning she began to concentrate her power into her axe and sent a massive shock wave straight down towards Heather.
"Valkyrie Fury!" she yelled.
"That's enough," said Heather and jumped into the air. "Snap out of it!"
She immediately took on the shockwave head on and slammed her fist towards it. She must have struck it was so much force that it created a massive shock wave then interviewed across the street which then go unnoticed by Hiccup and the others.
"Over there!" Hiccup yelled as they rushed towards the scene.
Once they got there they found that both Heather and Astrid had fallen to the ground. It was clear when the two of them clashed it created a massive shock wave that slammed into the both of them ending the battle.
"Heather, are you all right?" Hiccup asked helping her up.
"Hiccup? Didn't think I would see you here," said Heather rubbing her head.
"Are you to okay?" Ruby asked looking at Gabrielle and Agnar.
"We're fine," Gabrielle assured and then she looked at Astrid. "But what of Astrid?"
"During her battle with Calder, he managed to damage some of her components," Ragnar explained as he was using his magic to repair Astrid. "Some of those components were especially designed to control her rage, but when they were damaged they began to consume her mind. I had hoped that I had more time to repair the damage, but clearly I underestimated her rage."
"What will become of her now?" Hiccup asked.
Ragnar held out a blue bracelet. "I managed to create this, this bracelet should be able to dampen her rage until I can fully repair her."
Ragnar then placed the bracelet it around her wrist and immediately Astrid's skin began to cover her body once more. Ragnar then immediately snapped his fingers and gave her a new set of clothes.
Astrid opened her eyes and rubbed her head. "What happened?" She then looked around and saw the destruction. "Oh, no. Don't tell me I lost control?"
"You did, but we were able to keep it under control," Hiccup assured helping her up.
"With anyone hurt?" Astrid asked.
"Not this time."
"My my my, what a commotion," said a voice.
They immediately turned and saw Sven looking down at them from one of the rooftops.
"Sven, of the Roars of Dawn," said Ragnar.
"When I saw the commotion I decided to head here and investigate, but it seems as if I arrive too late," said Sven. "I must say I am quite surprised that Astrid was capable of making everyone in the capital unconscious."
"Now you understand why how to keep my raging control," said Astrid folding her arms. "If Heather hadn't stopped me then this would have escalated exponentially."
When everything finally calmed down they all made their way to the Black Dragon, Toothless and the twins were already inside and were informed of the situation that happened at the capital.
"So Astrid is a doll?" said Ruffnut looking straight at her.
"So cool," said Tuffnut.
"Glad someone thinks that it's cool," Astrid mumbled.
"Astrid was once human, but then there was a massive battle and we transferred her soul to this cool," Hiccup explained.
"Must have been a tough battle," said Heather.
"You have no idea," said Astrid looking down at the ground. "Ever since that day I found it hard to control my emotions, I was rather upset when I discovered what Hiccup did to me."
"After the battle she immediately left without a trace," Hiccup continued. "I was too heartbroken to stop her."
"So how do the two of you meet up again?" Ruby asked curiously.
"By chance," said Astrid. "I had joined the military in another kingdom and Hiccup had been busy travelling the world as a mercenary. Suffices to say when the two of us met face-to-face I wasn't too pleased, but I held back my rage. Then one thing led to another and soon the two of us found ourselves here in the capital."
"That one wild story," said Toothless.
"And it is quite known," said Skull. "There are bards that sing of two mighty warriors fighting side-by-side battling against a fierce enemy. One was on the verge of dying and his comrades refused to let her go, but his actions resulted in her him losing her anyway and soon the two of them wondered around the kingdom now completely lost."
Heather frowned. "I've heard of that bard, but it's centuries-old."
"That is a story for another time," said Ragnar as immediately he summoned his staff into his hands.
"What do you mean?" Sven frowned.
"I'm afraid that we have to go to Xeovell immediately," said Ragnar. "I sense an abnormal surge in magical power."
"Hold on, Ragnar. What is going on?" Heather asked.
Ragnar then immediately slammed his staff into the floor and the entire tab and immediately vanished into thin air.
Meanwhile the colossal creature outside the capital city of Xeovell was now finally making a move.
"King Gustav, the Dragon Knights with long-range powers have taken their positions," said Knight as Gustav made his way to the battlements.
Gustav then immediately drew his sword and pointed it straight at the creature. "Now men, ready yourselves to counter that giant!"
However, the knight were bit more preoccupied with something else that had appeared in the sky.
"King Gustav! Look at the sky!"
Gustav looked upwards and then saw the Black Dragon line above them. The mobile tavern was still hanging beneath it which made it look as if it was some sort of floating fortress.
"Is that a flying tavern?" Gustav stared.
Hiccup and the others were standing outside as began to fly close towards the creature tacking Xeovell.
"Hey, guys, what is that huge mountain looking thing?" Toothless asked.
"I've never seen anyone in the giant race that looks like that," said Heather.
"I am detecting magical reactions acting from inside of it body," Ragnar informed them. "But there aren't any vital signs, it must be a golem."
"Not any kind of golem, but it's a Great Beast Albion," said Hiccup gravely.
"And what is that?" Heather asked.
"It's a weapon that was used by the Demon Race during the ancient war," Astrid informed her.
"It must have woken up around the same time as the Ten Commandments were brought back," Hiccup concluded.
"The Ten what?" Heather frowned.
"I'll tell you about them later," Hiccup promised.
"It's like having the same nightmare all over again," said Sven. "I haven't sensed a force this powerful since Alvin turned into that monster."
"I don't believe what I'm seeing," said Toothless stunned. "Hiccup's power level is 3370. Ragnar's is 4710. That thing… that thing is at 5500!"
The golem immediately turned towards them and roared, which alone was a powerful shock wave that was felt throughout the entire capital.
"It's overpowering," said Gustav.
"It must be reacting to our power levels," Ragnar concluded.
It then immediately raised its fist with the intent of crushing them, but thankfully they were able to dodge it. However, the first slammed straight towards the capital, but a magical shield then immediately appeared in blocks the attack.
"This is Ragnar's work," said Gustav.
"Seems like throwing down a magic blocking wall in advance was the right call," said Ragnar as they flew around the city.
"You managed to protect the entire city with a barrier? Impressive," said Sven.
"Unfortunately, covering such a wide range does weaken its effect, it may last two more strikes," Ragnar informed them.
The golem then turned its attention onto the barrier and put it two fists together and slammed it right on top of the barrier. He then struck the barrier one more time and just like Ragnar predicted the barrier dispelled.
"And now it's gone," said Ragnar.
"Not good," said Skull.
Gustav didn't wave then immediately pointed his sword at the golem. "All right, aerial magic barrage! We must protect Xeovell at any cost!"
The Dragon Knights immediately unleashed their magic upon the golem, who also unleashed a powerful burst of flames from its mouth. The two attacks collided and suddenly there was a huge explosion which managed to push the golem back.
"Attack countered," said a knight.
"Well done, man," said Gustav.
"But we can't withstand another, sir."
The golem had already recovered from the surprise attack and was preparing to launch a counter-attack.
"Ragnar, send me down," said Hiccup.
Ragnar then immediately snapped his fingers and teleported Hiccup away. The golem had just launched an attack and Gustav knew there was no way they could counter this one.
"Everyone, retreat!" he yelled.
However, Hiccup then appeared out of thin air and immediately took the attack head on. He quickly began to absorb the power straight into him and raised his fist and sent the full force of the attack right back. There was another massive explosion as the attack struck the golem and it disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
The Dragon Knights on the ramparts were completely confused of what just happened.
"What just happened?"
"A miracle?"
Gustav had recognised that power. "No, not quite. That's his absorption power, Inferno."
"Nice to meet you again, Gustav," said Hiccup as he approached him.
Gustav beamed as he turned towards him. "Sir Hiccup."
Hiccup then immediately looked up at the Black Dragon. "Excellent timing is always Ragnar!"
Ragnar smiled back and looked at Sven. "Sven, you had better take the Princess and the twins inside. Things may get a little rough out here."
Ragnar then immediately began to use his magic to have the Black Dragon fly around the golem as if it was a fly. That kept it very much confused, but it soon grew annoyed and then swung a fist directly at them, but missed and struck the ground instead.
"Now!" Hiccup yelled as he immediately jumped onto the hand and ran up it. "An Albion's weakest point is its core inside its chest. We have to run up and smash it!"
Gustav nodded and looked to his Knights. "Now follow Sir Hiccup men!"
Gustav then immediately jumped after Hiccup and was soon followed by several nights.
However, the golem immediately turned its eyes upon them and then swung its hand straight on top of Gustav.
"Gustav!" Hiccup yelled as he looked back.
Gustav had not been squashed, but he was now trapped between the golem's fingers. Hiccup then immediately jumped down to assist him and swung his sword slashing through them and freeing him. Hiccup caught Gustav as he fell, losing his balance, he then quickly plunged his sword into the stone arm of the golem in order to slow the descent.
The knights immediately rushed into assist and helped Gustav up.
"You saved my life," said Gustav.
"No biggie," said Hiccup as he looked up at the golem. "However, we have bigger problems to deal with like this Albion."
"How do you intend to get to its core?" Gustav asked.
"I have an idea," said Hiccup.
They then heard movement and saw that the golem was attempting to strike them once again. They quickly all moved back to avoid its giant hand as it slammed against its arm.
"Hiccup's Dragon Fist didn't make much of a dent," said Astrid.
"Fortunately that's not his only method of attack," said Ragnar folding his arms. "However, it will be risky and it is quite the gamble."
"What is?" Toothless asked.
"Yeah, you mind filling us in as well?" Skull asked.
"As you know Hiccup is able to absorb any kind of blow magical or physical into his body, but he still retains the damage from that attack," Ragnar explained. "Fortunately his Sacred Treasure Endeavour increases his strength and magical power tenfold along with his endurance that's how he is able to survive most of his blows against formidable foes."
"But how is that going to help him now?" Toothless asked.
Hiccup then immediately turned to face the golem. "Time to put an end to this."
"What does he intend to do?" Gustav pondered.
The golem then raised its armour lifting Hiccup into the air and then swung its other fist directly at him. Hiccup quickly jumped and went straight through its fingers, he then quickly began dealing some powerful slashes against its arm and sliced to pieces as if it was like a loaf of bread.
Gustav stared in astonishment. "He managed to slice right through its arm into pieces."
The golem then immediately began to put all that power into one final attack and aimed directly at Hiccup.
"What is it doing?" Heather frowned.
"It's clearly adapting," said Ragnar folding his arms. "It's putting everything it has into one final attack, no doubt in an attempt to overpower Hiccup."
Hiccup was currently falling in midair making it quite impossible for him to dodge in time.
"There's no way he'll be able to dodge in time," said Gustav.
"Not good," said Heather. "Not even he will be able to handle that much power."
Hiccup then immediately focused everything he had into his body and dived in straight towards the golem.
"Is he diving straight into it?" said Ruby fearfully.
The golem then fired everything it had directly at Hiccup.
"Dragon's Breath!" Hiccup yelled as the blast slammed right into him.
The blast slammed right into him and for moment everyone believed that he was gone, but they saw that Hiccup was still falling, albeit had barely conscious. He then looked directly at the golem and then suddenly there was a massive explosion of fire as it slammed right into the golem. Everyone just stared at the explosion, unable to process what had just happened.
When the smoke finally cleared they found that the top part of the golem had completely disintegrated.
Hiccup landed on the ground, there were bit shaken and burnt. "I guess I was able to destroy the core."
"Sir Hiccup!" Gustav yelled as he ran towards him. "What was that attacked you just used?"
Hiccup then immediately fell down on one knee. "A very exhausting one."
Astrid and the others were still flying around what was left of the golem in the Black Dragon.
"Whoa, he managed to destroy that thing all by himself," Toothless stared.
"Impressive, I will give you that," said Skull.
"So this is the true strength of Hiccup," said Sven stunned.
"Sir Hiccup," said Ruby breathlessly.
Meanwhile at the Fairy King Forest, Fishlegs and Ase were just sitting there waiting for Snotlout. Ase just looked at Fishlegs as she leaned against a tree as Fishlegs floated there with Meatlug.
"All right, Meatlug, open up a portal for Berk, okay," he said. "It'll be fine, trust me. I'm pretty sure that the Fairy King's Forest does not need me around anymore." He then looked at Ase. "Come on, Ase. You're not really planning to stay here right? You're going to regret it."
"Leave me alone, okay," she said looking annoyed. "After all it's not like I'm a Dragon Knight any more. And to be honest I've just about had enough with living with my elder brother."
"Human, go home now," said a small fairy poking his head from behind a tree.
Ase just stuck her tongue at him and he immediately flew off.
Suddenly the entire ground shook violently.
"It is an earthquake?" Ase gasped.
"It can't be," Fishlegs gasped as he saw the trees growing incredibly fast.
Ase screamed as she was lifted up into the air by a tree branch barking out from nowhere.
"The fastest-growing somehow," said Fishlegs.
"But that doesn't make sense at all, how could it start sprouting up at this speed?" Ase asked looking down at him.
"Well, normally it doesn't," Fishlegs admitted looking just as confused as she was. "Maybe the seed of the Great Tree has something to do with this, but still. It couldn't have gotten this big in 20 years and the Fountain of Youth doesn't even exist anymore."
"Actually it does," said a small voice.
Fishlegs turned and found Melora floating behind him. "Melora?"
"Once every few years a man comes and replenishes all life in the forest," she explained.
Fishlegs eyes widened remembering that Snotlout mentioned that he had things to do here. "No way."
Snotlout was in the very centre of the Great Tree pouring his own blood over the trunk that served as Shanna's tomb. Ever since he drank in the Fountain of Youth his blood has had healing properties and he was now using it to increase the growth of the forest.
Floating behind him was a fairy, but unlike the other fairies in this forest her legs were missing and her hair was covering the right side of her face. She was holding a small tree branch as if it was some sort of wand and she had light brown hair. She acted as the steward of the forest and her name was Adava.
"Sir Snotlout," she said. "Thanks to your many years of tireless devotion, this forest is closer than ever to be completely restored now."
Snotlout just placed his jacket back on. "There's no need to thank me for this. I'm just doing it for Shanna, that is all. You served here during the last King's reign and the one before it, right? If you were to be the ruler of this place wouldn't that make the other fairies happy?"
Adava shook her head. "It is much different than being a human king. The Fairy King is not picked by those who live here, nor is he able to name himself. Instead he's chosen by the Sacred Tree."
"Guess I'm not qualified for it either."
"That goes without saying, lonely human. Clearly Anthurium is the one that should be leading us, after all you are nothing more than the nutrients for this forest."
Snotlout huffed.
Outside the entire ground shook again and birds immediately took off to the sky from the trees.
"What's going on? Something isn't right here." Fishlegs frowned. The ground shook once more violently. "Is the forest about to grow once more?" However not even a blade of grass grew which wasn't a good omen. "No, it's something else. This is…"
Fairies then immediately flew away screaming as if something was chasing them.
"There's trouble! There's trouble! King Snotlout there's a scary monster outside the forest!"
Fishlegs and Ase looked at one another.
"A what?" Ase frowned.
Making its way through the forest was another Albion, but unlike the one that attacked Xeovell this one was much more lean and taller and it was descending upon the Fairy King Forest.
