I'm so so so so so so so so sorry this took forever to write!

I am a despicable human being!

I've had a little bout with writer's block but I finally had a break through at like 3 am and rushed to find a writing utensil and paper. And thus here I am writing this chapter based off notes written with blue eyeliner on an envelope. *sigh*

But! Here we are none the less!

Please enjoy and review! :)

3rd Person POV

"Dagur! There are dragon riders heading towards us!" one of his men said running towards Dagur, who was standing at the helm of his ship, with his hands behind his back.

"Looks like those scouts made it back to Hiccup" Dagur growled, then turning on his heels and tossing the man overboard.

"Ready yourselves! Cut the other riders down but leave the Night Fury and Star Chaser dragon to me!" he bellowed at his men who cowered in fear for a moment before scrambling to make themselves ready.

"Be ready Hiccup my armada is going to cut down your precious riders and then the Night Fury and Star Chaser will be mine!" Dagur yelled throwing his head back in a manic laughter.

Hiccup's POV

"Ready to take down an armada bud?" I said and Toothless growled in agreement.

"Dagur has been a pain to us ever since we crashed on his island. And if what Black Ice said is true then Dahlia and her Moon Hunter dragon, Luna deserve to fall as well"

"Ari! Klint! You two are on point with me and Ironclad. Kol, Heith and Helga. I want you three right behind us.

Take out as many ships as possible. Don't let them even near Berk!" I dictated and all of them nodded. Ari and Klint flew near each other, a little bit behind me and Ironclad. Ari's Skrill, Sparks, and Klint's Typhoomerang, Blaze complemented each other during battle as Sparks would quite literally shock the enemy while Blaze would finish them off.

Heith, Helga, and Kol flew behind them as they would be able to take out any ship together. Heith's Tunder Drum, Stormer, along with Kol's Scauldron, Steam, could distract the enemy by either making them practically deaf for a few moments or spray any foe with scalding hot water, while Helga's Timberjack, Cutter, could slice through any ship faster than you could say dragon.

"Ruff, Tuff, Snotlout and Fishlegs will hold up the rear and take down any Beserker or ship that gets through us." I shouted turning towards them. The teens nodded and stopped their flights to hold their positions above Berk.

"Where do you want me?" Astrid said, gripping her axe.

"You... go with Ari and Klint. Stormfly's magnesium fire and spikes will greatly help." I said, knowing this was tactically the best choice. I knew Astrid could take care of herself. She would beat me into the ground if I said otherwise.

But still.

My heart clenched as she flew to join Klint and Ari in their formation.

I let out a deep breath, steadying my nerves.

"Ready for this Hiccup?" Ironclad said gliding closer to me and Toothless.

"As we'll ever be. You and me are for lack of a better term... floaters... we go where the battle is most intense" I said.

"I wouldn't want it any other way" Ironclad said, the mischievous glint in his eyes prominent.

"But I need to know... is Dahlia as big of a threat as Dagur?" I said.

"Even more so. Dagur is deranged but she is cold and calculating. She can be just as dangerous as that mad man" Ironclad said, tightening his grip on Black Ice's saddle.

"Alright. You know the most about her so when she shows up. You, me, Toothless, and Black ice need to work together to take her down. She is the only rider Dagur's got. once she is out, the skies are our's." I said.

Ironclad nodded.

"Alright..." I said raising my arm and dropping it quickly, signaling to the others"Charge!" I yell at the top of my lungs and Toothless starts to dive towards the impending armada of ships.

I see out of the corners of my eyes that everyone on the attack is advancing alongside me.

We come in range of the first ship and Black Ice and Toothless both release a plasma blast together, hitting the ship right in the middle and flooding it with water instantly.

I see Ari and Sparks swoop down and release a large lightning blast, making the sails on one ship catch fire, causing many to jump overboard.

Klint and Blzae follow her and stop in mid air and quite literally fan the flames of the ship causing the two next to it to catch fire.

Toothless and I speed up as he flaps harder, and we spin into a barrel roll to avoid a falling mast in our pathway. He releases two plasma blasts sinking another ship.

Ironclad and Black Ice were following behind us, flying high and shooting down every ship in their range. They expertly dodged the rocks, arrow,s and spears being thrown their way as Dagur's men retaliated against us.

Heith and Kol were working together to distract most of Dagur's army with their sound and water blasts, taking out the catapults of multiple ships before they could fire on us.

Astrid and Stormfly would them swoop in and let out a large blast of white hot fire, sinking multiple ship in their wake.

Toothless and I pulled up, flying straight up into the clouds before falling back on ourselves and twisting in midair. We were dive bombing the armada. The signature screech of Toothless's wings filled my ears as we picked up even more speed.

"Hold Toothless" I said waiting till the right moment to fire.

"Hold...hold...now bud!" I yelled and Toothless released four back to back blasts at the ships. The explosion of the wood caused some of the ship to fly into the air as men and debris soon found their way into the ocean.

"Yeah!" I yelled pumping my fist as Toothless pulled us out of the dive and right back into the action.

3rd Person POV

"Dagur! We've lost nearly a fourth of the fleet!" one of Dagur's men said.

Dagur let out an animal like growl.

"B-bu-but" the man said stuttering "We are close to Berk though! If we push only a little more our ship will touch land."

"I can see that" Dagur said in an annoyed tone "And don't stutter! My father used to do that!" he yelled.

"We keep moving forward. We reach Berk at all cost!" Dagur shouted and the man nodded running off to deliver the order.

"Dragons of my dream, you so magnificent as you battle. Don't worry my dangerous beauties, you both will soon belong to me." Dagur muttered to himself as he drew his blade and cackling madly.

Hiccup's POV

"Come on Toothless!" I said urging him on as we dodged the onslaught of attacks from the armada.

Toothless shot three more plasma blasts at the main ship that was targeting us. The first blast got the catapult dead center, blowing it to pieces, the second hit the mast, making the wood splinter and fly everywhere. The last blast hit the hull of the ship, making water breech the ship and flow into its lower deck.

"Hiccup!" I heard Fishlegs yell as he flew towards me and Toothless "Dagur is on Berk! He made it! We couldn't force all the ships back! He is storming Berk right now!" he cried out.

I cursed under my breath.

"Let's go Toothless. Tell Astrid to fall back with Stormfly and both of you get back as fast as you can." I said and he took off in the direction of Berk. We were over a hundred or so feet above the rocky island but I could see the fighting all the way from Toothless's saddle.

"Ready to try the suit out Toothless?" I said unclipping myself from his saddle

"Wait!" he cried out. He didn't like the suit from day one and I don't think he was changing his mind today.

"Provide cover fire with the rest of the dragon riders. I'll signal you if I need help" I said.

"Shouldn't you think this through better!"

"Here goes nothing" I said sliding off Toothless's back and falling into the air.

Astrid's POV

"As-Astrid!" Fishlegs yelled as me and Stormfly pulled up from the battle.

"What is it Fishlegs? What's wrong!" I said, worry gripping my heart as I quickly pushed it aside. Now was no time to feel that way. I needed to remain calm and focused on the task at hand.

"Dagur reached Berk! Hiccup needs us there right now!" Fishlegs said quickly turning around and flying away on Meatlug.

"Let's go Stormfly" I said patting Stormfly and she shot forward in the direction of Berk.

As we drew closer to Berk I saw Toothless not that far ahead of me and Stormfly. He and Hiccup were still a good ways away but I could now make out their separate forms and not just one mass.

I looked to see Hiccu fully sit up on Toothless which struck me as odd.

Hiccup was usually hunched forward as he was flying Toothless, especially as fast as he was moving now.

"What in the world is he doing?" I muttered to myself as we flew closer to Hiccup and Toothless.

Then...Hiccup slid off of Toothless and fell down to the ground beneath him.

But the most shocking thing was Toothless didn't look the least bit worried or concerned that Hiccup was falling to his death.

"Hiccup!" I yelled diving after him.

"Go girl! Go!" I said and Stormfly beat her wings fast to try and catch up to Hiccup.

"Why isn't that stupid reptile going after his rider!" I yelled out in anger as we closed in on Hiccup.

But then Hiccup did something crazy. He reached down to his leg and pulled on some strap, causing his to stop his freefall and pull up.

"Odin's beard!" I exclaimed seeing Hiccup's suit, almost magically gain wings by a pull of a strap or two.

"He's...he's flying...like a dragon. That boy figured out a way to make himself fly like a freaking dragon!" I yelled.

Hiccup was still descending towards the ground, but at a much slower rate than before. Now when he met with the ground he would live instead of perishing in a horrible accident.

"You knew!" I yelled at Toothless who joined me and Stormfly's decent that now, since Hiccup was safe, much slower than before.

Toothless gave a sort of grunt that I took as a yes.

"Well...since Hiccup's little fall is over. Let's make these Beserker's pay!" I said, tightening my grip on Stormfly's saddle as she dove towards the ground along with Toothless, laying down cover fire for Berk's warriors.

Hiccup's POV

"It worked!" I yelled as I pulled out of my freefall and into the glide my flight suit wings provided.

I tilted forward, directing my body to a spot on the ground that was semi-clear. I looked to see a house that I could use and leaned to the side, using the wind to push me to the house.

Once I was close enough I turned completely to the side and slide down the roof, landing on my feet and tucking myself into a barrel roll to stop from hurting myself but distributing the momentum.

I pulled out both of my swords and ignited the pair.

I charged into the battle. The sounds of swords clashing and men screaming filled my ears but I shut it all out.

I had to.

I had to remain focused on the task in front of me.

Only then could we all make it through this alive.

In the periphery of my vision I saw a Beserker cut down a man and charge towards me, swinging his ax wildly.

I shifted the weight on the balls of my feet, and lifted both of my swords up, trapping the ax between the flaming blades. I smirked at the surprised look on his face as I twisted the swords in my hands, sending my opponents ax flying through the air. I lifted my foot and kicked him straight in the stomach. He landed n the ground with a thud as I quickly knocked him out with the hilt of my sword.

I turned to look at the scene before me.

Men and women were fighting as smoke filed the air from the burning ships. I looked up to see the twins laying down a large amount of gas on the Beserker ships and igniting them.

Snotlout was flying low, swinging his club that was already ignited as Hookfang blasted fire at every Beserker in his path.

I smiled as I saw Astrid hop down from Stormfly and tuck into a roll as she did. She popped up right beside me, ax in hand as she split it into the two smaller axes I designed.

"You are an idiot, you know that right" she said swinging her ax and taking down and incoming Beserker.

I put my back to her's as we fought off the onslaught of attackers.

"I have..." I said knocking down another opponent "no...idea...what you're talking about" I said an ever present smirk on my face.

"Jumping off your dragon! How did you know your 'suit' would even work!" she yelled, throwing one of her axes.

"I've been working on it for a while" I said, dropping to the ground and kicking the feet from under a Beserker warrior.

"And you decided to test it out now?!" she shrieked.

"Thought it was a good time, don't you think?" I said.

"You're...you're..."she stuttered.

I saw about five more men head towards us so I grab Astrid's waist and force her down.

I released the Zippleback gas around us in a circle and ignited it, covering Astrid's body with my own as the mini-explosion happened around us.

"Amazing. I know" I said as we stood back up.

The scowl on her face showed anger but her eyes said something differently. I saw her respect and admiration, filling the blue orbs.

I grabbed Astrid's other ax and handed it to her.

"Be careful out there" I said.

"When am I never not careful?" she said.

I let out a small laugh as we repeated the scene we had in the air not moments ago.

"Now duck!" she said and I did do without hesitation. In the corners of my eyes I saw her throw one of her axes at an incoming Beserker Viking that was ready to attack me when my back was turned.

Ironclad's POV

I shifted my weight on Black Ice, moving to stand up as we flew past a ship that was launching multiple catapult shots at me and the other riders.

I set myself into a crouch as I grabbed my sword and jumped onto the deck of the ship we were flying past. Black Ice knew to circle back around and give me a cover fire while I dealt with the men on the ship.

I drew my sword and began fighting the Beserker men on the ship. I slashed my sword, taking down men left and right as they ran towards me. One shot an arrow at me, but luckily the armor Calypso made protected me well. I quickly shifted my weight and spun, my sword creating an arc of destruction.

I ran towards the catapults and pushed off on my right foot, launching me into the air, and landed on the catapult. I slashed my sword, cutting the ropes of the machine. I then lifted my sword above my head and brought it down on the gear mechanism, effectively destroying the catapult.

I whistled and Black Ice heard my signal, flying back at an amazing speed and shooting the mast of the ship, leaving it dead in the water. As he got closer I sprinted along the beams of the destroyed catapult and launched myself off the ship, Black Ice catching me in mid air as I slid back onto the saddle and sheathed my sword.

"Good job" I said, leaning forward into Black Ice as he beat his wings faster, blasting every ship that we saw.

"Showoff" I heard him mutter.

"Really? Because I saw that barrel roll when you circled around." I said smirking.

He then snidded the air for a bit "Something is wrong"

"What?" I said, looking around for the specific threat Black Ice was sensing.

"The smell...its...oh no"

"What? What is it!?" I said.

"It can't be...that...he would have had to search for months just to find an island that could possible have it"

"Just tell me what's going on!" I shouted.

"We need to warn Hiccup. Thank the Fates that one rider has the Gronkle." he said

Hiccup's POV

"Ohh Hiccup!" I heard Dagur's cruel voice taunt.

"Dagur! How nice of you to visit Berk! Too bad you aren't welcome here" I said turning around and gripping my swords tighter.

"Ohh look at your pretty new weapons. You were always the little inventor weren't you?" he sneered.

"What do you want Dagur? Why Berk? Its me and Toothless you want" I said.

"And the Star Chaser!" Dagur added, raising a finger "I could try and attack you and your riders but what fun would that be?"

"This way I can conquer Berk, capture you, and finally gain control of the two rarest and most powerful dragons alive! The Night Fury and Star Chaser Dragons! They will become the new symbols of my tribe! Destroying every enemy the Beserkers have and allowing us to conquer the entire archipelago!" Dagur said laughing madly.

"He is really starting to get on my nerves" Astrid growled beside me.

"And the lovely Astrid! I heard about your little..." Dagur cleared his throat "Capture."

Astrid's eyes went wide with fear for a moment as I saw her relive her kidnapping for a few seconds. She snapped out of her trance and a hardened glare took its place.

"How do you know about that?" she hissed.

"I have my ways" Dagur taunted "That Corey fellow...even I thought he was a bit mad"

"Glad we agree on something" Astrid sneered.

"Never the less I'll accept Berk's surrender, the Night Fury, as well as your surrender Hiccup." Dagur said.

Astrid scoffed "Like that will ever happen."

"Look around Dagur! Berk's warriors are beating your's back! The Riders are destroying your armada as we speak!" I said.

"But what you don't know is I have a secret weapon" he said.

"Dahlia? We know about her" I said.

"Ohh not that" Dagur said, snapping his fingers as two men grabbed a trunk and threw it away, right into eh center of the battle.

The crate burst open once it hit the ground and my stomach dropped.

"Dragon Root" I said my eyes going wide and lowering my swords.

"Hiccup! What is that!?" Astrid said.

"Its like dragon nip...only instead of making dragons calm, it makes them very aggressive. Even trained dragons will try to attack each other to try and get that Thor-forsaken root." I said.

"So what do we do?" Astrid said looking up at the agitated dragons.

Hookfang had thrown Snotlout off,b but luckily they were close enough to the ground he didn't get hurt. Barf and Belch were snapping at Hookfang as the twins tried to control their dragon.

"The other riders are too far away.. thankfully" I said, knowing the root's power would only extend so far.

"Ohh really Hiccup? Are they?" Dagur said gesturing out out to the battle taking place on the sea.

The dragons were going crazy. Sparks was shooting at Blaze as Ari and Klint tried to reangle their dragons back before they harmed each other.

Stormer and Cutter were fighting each other as Helga and Heith desperately tried to stop their dragons' rampage.

"You have more..." I said, the horror in my voice evident.

"How smart of you Hiccup!" Dagur taunted "To be exact I have three roots. Pretty nice, don't you think?"

"We need Fishlegs and Meatlug...now" I said.

"Why them?" Astrid said.

Right then Black Ice landed with Ironclad.

"Hiccup! Dagur has.." Ironclad said.

"Dragon Root. We know" I said "Get Fishlegs. Have him take the roots far out to sea."

"On it." Ironclad said taking back off on Black Ice.

"Ahh look at it. The Star Chaser dragon. It's even more beautiful in action" Dagur said watching Black Ice fly away.

"And that's the closest you will ever get to them, Dagur. I won't let you harm Berk or take Toothless and Black Ice" I said raising my swords.

"I'd like to see you try and stop me Hiccup" Dagur said brandishing his sword.

"Hiccup...but won't Black Ice be affected by the Dragon Root? Won't he and Black Ice be in danger?" Astrid said, raising her axes.

"The Black Ice cares about Ironclad too much. He can fight off the effects long enough to tell Fishlegs, then Ironclad knows to fly high into the clouds to escape the effects of the root. They'll be fine" I said.

"I hope so" Astrid said quietly as I turned my attention back to Dagur.

So? What do you think?

I hope you all liked the battle scenes. And more are on there way! So please don't worry about that!

Review your thoughts please!
