The smell of salt invaded Knife's nose as they sailed across the ocean to Berserker Island. Knife was clad in armor handmade by Gobber the belch with a sword she handcrafted herself. Gunner stepped beside her, his armor matching hers with an axe strapped to his back.
"War jitters?"Gunner joked.
"Yeah I guess..."Knife confessed her hand shaking she clenched on the boat railing to make it stop. Gunner took her hand and his, causing Knife to blush a little.
"Hey don't worry I got your back."Gunner declared,"Though knowing my family they will come after me with anything they got so if I don't make it...I.." Knife punched him in chest. "Ow...I'm wearing armor and I still felt that..."
"Good because I hit harder that time to make sure you felt it...Hey look my hand stopped shaking."
"Well you know I'm getting real tired of you.." Knife stopped him from talking by giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Uh..."
"That's for good luck,"She explained she turned to walk away,"Don't worry I got your back to stud." She left him in a daze as she went to her father. Hiccup was staring out toward the ocean, he had his arms crossed the sun was starting to finish receding. The sky was black and it was time for Knife,Hiccup, and Gunner to start."Hey dad."
"I saw that..."Hiccup said looking at his daughter.
"Saw what? Oh you mean the good luck charm I gave Gunner. Yeah don't worry about that." Knife explained.
"Sure your mom used to give me those all the time,"Hiccup laughed. Knife looked back at Gunner than to her father.
"Will this really work dad?"
"It better because were here."
They arrived at the island the battle had already begun. From a distance there was a clash of fire, and roars. Knife drew her sword as they pulled into the docks. The moment they pulled into the docks a group of Berserkers came at the ships.
"Oh great the welcome party is here, well than why don't we go down and greet them."Knife exclaimed as she jumped off the boat landing a kick at one fo the vikings. She drew her sword slashing at other vikings keeping them away from the ship so that they could dock on the sand. Gunner jumped down as well and helped her once the ship was docked more vikings poured out of it. Knife and Gunner called their Night Furies to them and quickly the three vikings went into the cave.
"Well I would say everything is going according to plan."Gunner said as they reached the Night Fury cages, Knife immediately got to work unlocking them. Once she got the gate opened Black wing would blast the chain off. Knife tried to work as quickly as possible, making cage doors fly open it took a while but once all the Night Fury were free they joined into the fight.
"Good job guys now your job is to get the wounded back to the ship is you find someone launch a plasma blast in the air. Other than that help anyone who needs it. I will do the same but be careful." Hiccup ordered the two young vikings. They nodded and climbed their dragons and flew out into the night sky. Knife climbed to the very top to get a good view. Down below it seemed the Nightmare's were successful in burning the barriers. The Gronkle's are taking care of the last of the Zippleback riders had sunken all the ships and now all the dragons were fighting against each other. A plasma blast pierced the sky, Knife immediately dove down to where the blast came from Gunner and Hiccup were trying to haul away a large Nightmare they could only get it a few feet off the ground. Scar grabbed the Nightmare's legs while Gunner grabbed it's head and Hiccup grabbed the tail. Carefully they were able to lift the dragon from the ground and over to the ships, they carefully laid down the Nightmare and left once more to fly out when some dragon riders headed their way. The Night Fury riders launched plasma blasts to counter them. The blasts knocked the riders and dragon's out of the sky.
"You guys go on and bring more dragons I will stay and defend the ships but try to send some riders here to help." Hiccup ordered them. Knife and Gunner nodded and flew back into the battle Knife searched from above when she saw Arve and Thorn fighting back some vikings when from behind him Torolf and his dragon came his way. Knife dove down immediately and launched a plasma blast at the Thunderdrumm rider. The blast pierced the dragon's side but he turned back to Knife and the Thunderdrum launched a breath of fire at Scar who dodged easily. Gunner and Blackwing dove from the sky tackling Torolf and his dragon to the ground. Arve turned around and Thorn launched spikes at the Thunderdrum but Torolf blocked it with his shield and immediately got on his dragon and flew away. Knife landed next to Thorn.
"Arve where is Brenda?" Knife asked her little brother.
Arve adjusted his helmet and answered," I'm not sure I last saw her flying after the Night Fury that took off."
"So she just left after the Night Fury but why?" Knife asked when her brother stared at the sky.
"The sky is moving." Arve uttered
"What?.."Knife queried when she looked up. There was something moving but it wasn't the sky it was something in the sky. Knife stared closer at it and soon there was multiple screeches and wing beats. Everyone turned to look at the skies, all vikings and dragons alike. The Berserkers started to flee, when Brenda from on top of Skull shouted and the Night Fury in hordes dove down from the sky sending plasma blasts at the Berserks.
"How do they know who to hit?" Arve asked in amazement.
"I think they know by scent." Gunner replied. All the viking of Berk began to shout in victory as the Berserkers were all driven back. All the Berserkers driven to the beach where they were surrounded by all the Night Fury their dragons scattered gone leaving their masters. Hiccup landed before the Berserkers, climbed off Toothless' back.
"Do you surrender!" Hiccup shouted to the Berserkers, they conversed among each other and got on their knees their arms raised in surrender. The vikings cheered for they had beaten the Berserkers. Knife ran over to Gunner and hugged him, Gunner hugged her back.
"There's been something I've wanted to do for a while now." Gunner told Knife holding her in his arms before Knife could ask what he kissed her on lips some of their fellow trainees started to tease them. Everything was over all was great they freed the Night Furies and overtaken the Berserks when Arve came running.
"Dagur and his sons left! They headed for Berk!"Arve screamed at the top of his lungs.
