I hope you all enjoy and review your thoughts!
Hiccup's POV
I told Ironclad to take today off and go wherever he needed to go.
"Just come back when you are ready" I said patting his shoulder.
"Thanks Hiccup" Ironclad said, but before he could hop on Black Ice the twins ran up to him and were bowing at his feet.
"What in the world are you two doing?" Astrid said.
"The destruction you caused in the forest!" Ruff said.
"It was a thing of beauty!" Tuff said.
"You saw that?" I said.
"Uhh yeah!" Tuff said.
"We were flying around on Barf and Belch and saw you all leave the newly created clearing" Ruff said.
"And we knew that none of you, except maybe Astrid, could have done that." Tuff said.
"So that left Mr. Mysterious over here" Ruff said, winking.
I groaned and rolled my eyes.
"The utter destruction you caused! We will follow you anywhere!" Tuff said.
"Ummm thanks?" Ironclad said "You can umm go now?"
"As you wish" Tuff said, he and Ruff bowing.
"Call us if you need anything" Ruff said in a sultry voice and winking.
They then ran off still talking about the clearing Ironclad made in the forest.
"Sorry about that" Astrid said to Ironclad.
"Its alright" Ironclad said shrugging and hopping on Black Ice.
"Be back when you can" Helga said "And be careful"
Ironclad nodded and took off on Black Ice.
"When do you think he will be back?" Astrid asked.
"I don't know. It could be a day or weeks. We just have to wait for him to work through this pain" I said shaking my head.
Ironclad's POV
"Please...take me where he is. I know you either know where he is or can track him." I said.
Black Ice sighed "Are you sure? I know you want revenge and you have a right to feel such a way."
"Yes. Please" I said.
We soon changed directions and picked up speed, flying fast and above the clouds.
Astrid's POV
"So what do we do now?" I said jokingly.
"Today...I don't care." Hiccup said smiling.
I smiled back and linked his arm with mine.
"Helga? Tell the others to take the day off. I think it will do everyone some good" Hiccup said.
Helga nodded and she, Ari, and Klint then raced off.
"So Mr. Dragon Trianer, what are we going to do" I said as we started walking.
"We could..." Hiccup started to say but then stopped.
What was he doing? Was something wrong?
"Hiccup?" I said, worried.
"Just act normal and don't move" Hiccup said shifting the position of his feet, like he was preparing for something.
"What's going on?" I said in a hushed voice.
"And in 3...2...1.." Hiccup said right at that moment an attacker flew through to air in Hiccup's direction.
He had anticipated the attack and ducked before the attacker could make contact.
He gripped the person's arm and twisted them to the ground with a thud.
i looked down to see Ari on the ground, out of breath.
"I thought we moved past this?" Hiccup said smirking.
"You...got me..." Ari said, catching her breath "You finally got me!"
"I guess the student has past the master" Hiccup said removing his arm from Ari's chest and sticking his hand out to help her.
Ari grabbed his hand and grinned. She then puled Hiccup down and brought her legs up as her feet connected with his chest. She then kicked up and flipped Hiccup onto the ground and pounced on top of him.
"Yes!" She screamed pumping her fist in the air.
Hiccup just groaned.
"Just know Hiccup, everything you know I taught you. But I didn't teach you everything I know" Ari said with a wink and stood up.
"Astrid" she said saluting me and running off.
I laughed and put my hand out to help Hiccup up "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine.. my pride is a little bruised but I'm fine" Hiccup said, brushing himself off.
Ironclad's POV
We were flying for what seemed like forever, high above the water, in the clouds.
"We are close. This is the only place he could be so no dragon or human could come near him. Hold on tight...the flight down may be ruff"
I pressed down into the saddle and tightened my grip.
Black Ice swooped down and was flying fast close to the water, his wings barley touching the ocean.
I soon saw a small island with a large volcano dominating the entire landscape. There were sharp rocks all around the island, effectively keeping any sane person away from the island.
We flew fast and soon were hovering over the island, Black Ice was sniffing the air for a moment the flew down to the ground and landed.
I soon got off and looked around the island. There were only a few trees, but they were all grey and dead, their branches twisted into unnatural shapes. the ground was uneven and hard,.
"You put him here" I said and Black Ice nodded.
"Ironclad" I heard his voice say "So good to see you"
I took a deep breath and turned around.
I saw Corey, his clothes were dirty and torn. His hair looked singed at the ends and he had a few burn marks. There was a crazed look in his eye and he had an awful sneer across his face.
"Welcome to my own personal hell" Corey said extending his arms.
"I'm here because of you and your dragon" he sneered
"You deserve this" I said, my voice ice cold.
"I saw them break Blade's wing in front of me!" he yelled "They carried me thousands of miles, dangling me over the ocean and placed me on the god-forsaken rock!" he yelled.
"Do you even realized what you did!?" I yelled "What you took from me!"
"Ohh yes. And judging by your demeanor now I suppose you know too" he said.
"Did you know when you took her life" I said.
"No" Corey said "I only found out before I was placed here."
"Would you have done it...if you had known" I said.
Corey contemplated this for a moment and then spoke.
"Yes." Corey said grinning evilly.
I was breathing heavy, my fists and jaw were clenched.
"You are a sick monster" I growled.
"Flattery will get you nowhere Ironclad" he taunted.
I then reached for my sword but before I unsheathed it I stopped, my hand resting on the hilt.
Corey saw this and looked at me curiously for a moment then is sick glare returned.
I pulled the strap holding the sword sheath to me and placed my sword, still in the sheath on Black Ice's back.
Black Ice stared at me with confusion and worry in his eyes.
I turned back to Corey and started to remove my armor. I was pulling the straps and removing the armor around my chest.
"What are you doing?" Corey said.
"You have always fought with trickery and weaponry or even with your dragons help, you make me sick. Where is your honor, where is your dignity. You and me are going to fight like men!" I yelled, placing the rest of my armor and weapons on Black Ice.
I had removed all my weapons and leather armor, leaving only my boots, pants, and a simple black tunic.
I clenched my fists and glared at Corey.
He put up his hands "Fine, have it your way." he sneered.
I sunk into my battle stance and raised my fists, Corey doing the same.
We were circling each other, waiting for the other to strike first.
"Tell me Ironclad" Corey taunted "When did you find out that whore was pregnant with your child when she died?"
That comment sent me over the edge and I sprinted towards his screaming.
He grinned and sunk lower into a crouch.
I threw my fist at his jaw which he ducked under and jabbed me in the gut. I quickly reacted, bringing my knee up and colliding with his rips, feeling a snap once I did.
He stumbled away clutching his stomach, and cringe a bit at the pain from me breaking one of his ribs.
I lifted my fists in front of my face and extended one of my hands, motioning him forward.
He growled and charged again I anticipated his move and ducked, grabbing his arm and flipping him over, and placing m foot on the back of his chest. His arm was back as he was face down on the ground.
"Did you cry Ironclad?" he taunted "When you held her and she died?"
I snapped and then snapped his right arm.
He screamed in pain and I release him, he rolled on the hard, black rock, holding his broken arm.
"That pain you are feeling!" I yelled "That is only a FRACTION of the pain I felt when you took her from me...or when I found out...found out she was carrying our child!"
Corey slowly stood up, shaking and his right arm dangling as he raised his left fist and charged.
I dropped low and swung my feet out, catching him as he charged at me. He fell to the ground with a large thud and I placed my foot on his chest.
Corey stared up at me with a mix of pain, anger and a tinge of fear in his eyes.
My fists were clenched and I was shaking with the anger I felt.
I then remembered what Hiccup said when he was fighting Cory on Outcast Island.
"True Strength doesn't come from ending lives, true strength comes from knowing when to spare them."
I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding and shook my head.
"There are no words for the pain you have caused me, you deserve to spend the rest of your life, be it long or short, on this god-forsaken island." I said.
I then turned away and started walking to Black Ice.
I then heard a loud scream, weither ir was anger or pain I couldn't tell.
Then...I felt pain shoot through the back of my head and everything went black.
Hiccup's POV
Astrid wanted to go up to one of the cliffs so we started walking. Right as we were passing the docks I saw a ship sail in.
Its sail didn't have a symbol I recognized, and I knew most of the tribe's ships...
"Astrid...do you know that ship?" I asked her.
"I can't say I do" Astrid said.
"Lets just check it out really quick" I said and she nodded.
We ran do to the docks and saw the crew unloading some supplies and a woman talking with the main dock hand (Idk what to call him, its pretty much he oversees the dock and all the ships that come in)
She had long black hair tied in a ponytail, tanish skin, muscular build, some freckles on her face, sky blue eyes & burn scar on her left forearm. She wore a dark gray breast armor, a dark green tunic, dark gray chainmale, brown pants, black leather boots, gold shoulder guards, and mud brown fingerless gloves and she had a large war hammer.
What made me stop was the black leather mask that covers the top half of her face.
"Hiccup...her mask...its like" Astird said stuttering.
"Ironclad's...I know" I said.
I slowly walked up with Astrid and Sven, the dock hand left, probably to talk to Stoick.
"Ummm hello?" I said.
"Who are you?" she said.
"Hiccup" I said "Who are you?"
"Ora, but many call me Ora the Smasher and this is my ship. We just came in to trade" she said.
"Ohh ok" I said "Your mask...its from"
"The Black Blood tribe" she said "Yes. It was destroyed years ago during a dragon attack. Now I live on the seas with my crew" she said.
"So you are from the Black Blood tribe?" Astrid said.
"Yes, are you two deaf?" she retorted.
I turned to Astrid and she smiled.
"Thats great because we" Astrid started to say when I covered her mouth.
"Love to have new people visit. We have heard a lot about your tribe and think its amazing. they had a great reputation in the archipelago.
"Thank you" Ora said nodding "Now if you excuse me."
"Oh! sure" I said "But if you stay a while you can join us in the Great Hall" I said.
"I might take you up on that offer" she said, turning away.
"Oh! And one more thing" I said.
"We have...well me and my friends have...pets" I said.
Ora tilted her head to the side "And?" she said.
"Well..just promise neither you nor your crew will harm them. We promise they won't hurt you" I said.
"Ok" Ora said hesitantly "I give you my word if you give me yours that no harm will come to me and my crew"
"I swear it" I said.
"Good" she said nodding and turning to talk with her crew.
Astrid glared at me and I jerked my head up back to the village.
"What in Thor's name was that about!" Astrid said while we were walking back to the village.
"I just didn't want to tell her about Ironclad, thats all" I said.
"Why!?" Astrid said.
"Because he doesn't really have the best reputation around" I said "He was a mercenary for a while and made a LOT of enemies." I said.
"So you didn't tell her about Ironclad encase" Astrid said.
"Encase she was one of the people he pissed off" I said.
"So what happens when he comes back?" Astrid said.
"I don't know. I am more worried about the dragons. We should keep them in the cove while her ship is docked here" I said.
"Ok, I'll tell Snotlout, the twins, and Fishlegs. You tell the other Riders" Astrid said.
"Ok" I said and we ran off in opposite directions.
Black Ice's POV
I stood by while Ironclad fought with him.
I knew this was something he needed to do and I would be waiting for him when he was finished.
He was walking back to me and I felt proud that he had taken the high road.
Thats when he struck.
He was on the ground, defeated and wounded. He slowly got up and looked at Ironclad leaving him to stay on this island for the rest of his life.
He looked around and saw a large rock next to him and grabbed it, standing up.
He took the rock, and before I could react, threw it at Ironclad's head.
He fell to the ground, a small pool of blood forming around his head.
I roared in fury. I charged and pinned the evil one to the ground in mere seconds.
I growled and stared into his soulless eyes.
"I know you understand the basics of our language, so hear me when I say this" I said, his eyes growing wide with fear.
"My rider may have spared your life but by the great fire breathers, I will be ground bound before allowing you to continue to breath while my riders mate does not"
I then flapped my wings and moved back to where Ironclad was laying. I carefully and gently picking him up, trying to make sure only the softest parts of my claws came in contact with him.
I quickly flew up above the island and looked down.
I growled and released blast, after blast at the volcano. Soon the island was shaking and I saw smoke starting to pour out of the volcano, and then the magma began spewing out and I flew off.
I was flying as fast as I could.
I needed to get him to the other riders...they could hopefully save his life.
He needed to live.
He had to.
ON BERSERKER ISLAND
3rd Person POV
"Are the ships ready?" Dagur yelled.
"Soon...we need more time to fully gather the rest of the supplies." the scared henchman said.
"Well work faster!" Dagur yelled, throwing an ax near his head.
The henchman, ducked under the flying weapon "Yes! Of course" he said running out.
Dagur then turned to the drawing of the Nightfury and Star Chaser dragons.
"Ohh soon. Soon you will both be mine" he said touching the paper.
"Getting really acquainted with those drawings, aren't you?" A voice said behind him.
"Who dares disturb me!" Dagur yelled turning around, seeing who had interrupted him.
She looked about 18 years old with long blond hair and sky blue eyes. She had a slightly muscular build and was fairly tall.
She wore a brown headband, leather hair tie. She had a metal breast plate with iron shoulder guards and a black wool shirt underneath. Her black skirt was made of dragon scales and spikes, with long silk pants underneath and back leather boots with a spike in the heel. She had a crimson ax on her back and black war paint on her face.
"Ahh Dahlia the Cunning...its been a while" Dagur said "What brings you to Berserker Island?"
"I heard you were building up a force to invade Berk." she said walking forward.
"And how does that concern you? Were you paid to spy on me?" Dagur asked.
"Not at all, this is a personal matter" Dahlia growled.
"Personal?" Dagur said.
"I also heard a certain dragon rider is there" she said.
"Hiccup and his riders" Dagur sneered "I didn't realize you had a vendetta against them."
"Not them...their little friend." Dahlia said.
"Ahh yes the rider from the Black Blood tribe...what do you want with him?" Dagur asked curious.
"Revenge" Dahlia sneered.
"Really? Interesting" Dagur said tapping his chin.
"I propose a deal. I help you get those two dragons you are obsessed with and I get the rider, no questions asked or strings attached."
"Hmmmm" Dagur said looking up then sticking out his hand "Deal."
