Hiccup's POV
I was charging at Corey. He crouched and moved to stab me with his sword. I dodged and rolled away, quickly regaining my battle stance. We circled each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.
"What I don't understand Corey is why? Why are you doing this?" I said.
"Because you are weak! You do not deserve to ride dragons!" Corey sneered "I am stronger than you will ever be! Once I destroy you I will be the greatest Dragon Rider in the world! Tribes will bow to me and my power!"
"I'm not going to let that happen" I said.
"But you do not have the stomach to make the final move! You are too weak to do what is necessary!" Corey yelled.
"You are the weak one Corey! Capturing people, torturing and killing them?! How is that strength?" I yelled back.
"It is the ultimate strength! You have this power but you are too scared and weak to use it! I am not weak!" Corey yelled.
He then charged, swinging his sword.
Ironclad's POV
"Stay with me Astrid! Don't fall asleep" I said.
"But...I'm so tired.."Astrid said.
"No, think..think of Hiccup! Do this for him." I said. I was working fast on her wounds...I wish I had learned some more healing skills. But I had enough knowledge to know this wasn't good.
Hiccup's POV
Corey was fighting hard. He was moving, swiping and swinging his sword. I was blocking his moves with my own two swords, but I was on the defensive.
He then dropped suddenly and kicked my feet out from under me. I fell hard.
I grunted, the air being knocked out of me, both swords slipped out of my hands.
I looked up and saw Corey holding his sword over me, pointing it straight at my heart. His foot was on my chest, holding my down.
"I will finally show you what true strength is Hiccup. Prepare to leave this world!" Corey said. He then brought his sword up over his head and brought it down, fast.
Time seemed to slow down.
I then summoned that rest of my strength, twisting my legs to force Corey to loose his balance and his grip on me. I then used that momentum to grab my dropped sword and knock his out of his hand. I then quickly rolled away and stood up fast.
I only had one of my swords and didn't know where the other was, but I couldn't think of that now.
Corey regained his balance and looked at me with pure hatred and rage. He then pulled out another dagger and charged, screaming.
I then lifted my sword and knocked the small blade out of his hand. He then moved to punch my but I blocked his blow yet again. I grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm, flipping him onto the ground and holding my sword at his chest.
"Do it Hiccup" Corey sneered.
"Oh wait, you can't" he taunted "Because you are weak!"
I felt all the pain and rage in my heart flare up in me. He had betrayed us, tried to kill us multiple times! And what he did to Ironclad...and Calypso. And Astrid! He had captured her! Tortured her!
I forced my eyes closed for a second then opened them. I lifted the sword slowly, grabbing the hilt with both hands.
I yelled at the top of my lungs and brought the blade down.
Ironclad's POV
"Astrid, don't you close your eyes. Please do this for Hiccup" I said. I was applying pressure to some of her worse cuts, trying to stop the bleeding.
"Am I going to die?" Astrid asked, tears in her eyes.
"No. I won't let that happen. I won't let Hiccup live through that pain" I said.
I then heard someone grunt in pain behind me.
I turned around and my heart dropped.
Hiccup was on the floor with Corey standing over him, sword in hand. Corey looked ready to strike the final blow.
"I will finally show you what true strength is Hiccup. Prepare to leave this world!" Corey said. He then brought his sword up over his head and brought it down, fast.
Time seemed to slow down.
I then summoned that rest of my strength, twisting my legs to force Corey to loose his balance and his grip on me. I then used that momentum to grab my dropped sword and knock his out of his hand. I then quickly rolled away and stood up fast.
I only had one of my swords and didn't know where the other was, but I couldn't think of that now.
Corey regained his balance and looked at me with pure hatred and rage. He then pulled out another dagger and charged, screaming.
Hiccup then lifted his only sword and knocked the small blade out of Corey's hand. Corey, now disarmed then moved to punch Hiccup, but he blocked his blow. Hiccup then grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm, flipping him onto the ground and holding his sword at Corey's chest.
"Do it Hiccup" Corey sneered.
"Oh wait, you can't" he taunted "Because you are weak!"
All the pain and hatred Hiccup had for Corey showed on his face. He snapped his eyes shut for a second then they opened. He lifted the sword slowly, grabbing the hilt with both hands.
He yelled at the top of my lungs and brought the blade down.
Hiccup's POV
All the hate, the rage, the pain Corey had caused was played out in front of me.
The sword then made contact with its mark. I then let out the breath I had been holding, and looked down.
I saw Corey's shocked expression. He then looked over and saw the tip of my blade...right beside him...
He then looked back at me with a small amount of confusion that then turned back into anger and hatred.
"I knew you were weak Hiccup." Corey sneered.
"True Strength doesn't come from ending lives, true strength comes from knowing when to spare them." I said "That is why you are weak Corey, why you will always be."
I then lifted my sword and placed it back in the sheath on my back. I then turned away, letting all the anger I had go.
