Ironclad's POV

I searched the sky for the Gronkle. Once I saw the brown mass Black Ice dived towards them.

"Fishlegs!" I yelled as we flew closer.

"Ironclad?! What's going on! All the dragons are acting crazy...except for Meatlug..." he said.

"Its the dragon root. Its like dragon nip except it will make dragons go crazy and extremely aggressive." I said.

"Then why is Meatlug still fine?" he asked.

"Gronkles eat rocks right? So that's why it doesn't effect them. They are the only species I know that is one hundred percent immune to the effects. So you and Meatlug need to get the roots as far away from the other dragons as possible. Drop all of them into the ocean." I said.

"How many are there?" he asked.

"Three... I smell three" Black Ice said.

"Three. I saw one actually on Berk and the other two are on ships." I said.

"On it." Fishlegs said, flying off on Meatlug towards Berk.

"We must hold off the others"

"You know as well as I do you can't fight the effects forever. You get close enough and you will lose yourself" I said.

"I am strong. I will not loose myself. Not with you on my back..."

I nodded. As long as I could be in danger Black Ice could fight the effects.

We took off after Meatlug and Fishlegs, blasting away some of the traps firing from the ships.

Once we reached Berk I saw Snotlout's Monstrous Nightmare fighting with the twin's Zippleback.

"We need to break them up" I said as we flew down, firing shots at the ground between the dragons, trying not to hurt the rider's but break up the fight.

I looked over my shoulder to see Meatlug picking up the root and starting to fly away. Some of the Beserkers noticed this and started firing upon the Gronkle.

"Black Ice! We need to keep the others off Meatlug" I said and he flapped his wings, changing our direction to aid the Gronkle and her rider.

I could hear Fishlegs almost screaming in terror from where I was flying. I groaned as we took out the main attackers, allowing them a clear shot to the ocean.

"How far?" I heard Fishlegs call in my direction.

"Just far enough to drop it deep into the ocean!" I yelled.

They took off, the little wings of the dragon beating hard to fly out to sea.

"One down. Two more to go." I said seeing the dragon drop the root.

I looked back to see the dragons on Berk were returning to normal. Back out in the air, the Rider's dragons were not fairing so well. Sparks was fighting Blaze as Ari and Klint tried to gain control over the Skrill and Typoohmerang.

"Where are the other two? Can you sniff them out?" I asked.

"One is on the ship with a red dragon figurehead. The other is on the opposite side of the armada on the ship with the blue figurehead." he said after sniffing the air and then shaking his head.

"I can feel the root's affects trying to take hold of me. The Gronkle needs to act quickly"

"Tell me about it. The Rider's dragons look ready to tear each other apart." I said seeing Helga and Heith's dragons fighting in the air, while they desperately tried to control the rampaging dragons.

"Okay. I got the first root. Where are the other two?" Fishlegs asked as he flew towards me and Black Ice.

I told him the two ships the roots were on and he headed to the closest one, which incidentally Blaze and Sparks were fighting above.

"As soon as they see Meatlug they will attack her. We need to break them up until Fishlegs grabs the root." I said.

Black Ice nodded as we sped forward. He fired a few plasma shots into the air, as they exploded they created a ring of fire and smoke, as well as releasing a wave of pressure.

This forced the two dragons back a bit, keeping them from attacking each other for the moment.

"Ironclad! Its dragon root! The dragons are going insane!" Ari yelled.

"Fishlegs is on it. He is getting rid of the roots as we speak!" I called back "Hold on a bit longer"

Right then I saw Meatlug fly back up with root in claw, flying as fast as she could back out to sea to dispose of the root.

"Just one more" I said, patting Black Ice's side.

"We can't get so close next time. The root...I feel it" he said struggling.

"We'll be fine. Once Meatlug has it all the dragons will be back to normal" I said. Right then Mealug flew back.

"Where is the last one?" Fishlegs said searching the armada for the ship.

"Over there. Stormer, Cutter, and Steam seem to be trying to get to it. I'll hold them off again. Just get the last root and get rid of it as fast as you can" I said and we both took off.

Fishlegs flew towards the ship, flying low as to try and pick up the root before any of the men on the ship could stop him.

Black Ice blasted near the ship, trying to ward off the dragons circling the vessel.

Fishlegs was able to grab the root, and was flying far away from the battle to dispose of it.

The dragons slowly regained themselves, shaking off the effects of the root.

"Oh thank Thor for that Gronckle!" Kol exclaimed "I was worried something horrible would happen before they regained control of themselves again" he said patting Steam

"We were lucky this time, but knowing Dagur he still has a few tricks up his sleeve." I said.

"Where is that crazy dragon girl? Should we have seen her by now?" Heith said.

"Maybe she didn't make it back? Or decided to abandon Dagur?" Kol said.

"No..she wants me...I know that. She is smart. Her name is Dahlia the cunning. She knows how to bide her time and wait for the right moment to strike." I said.

"We'll take care of the armada. You go back and help Hiccup on Berk" Helga said.

"Will do" I said flying off towards Berk.

Astrid's POV

I raised both of my axes at Dagur, waiting for him or Hiccup to act first.

"Why fight it Hicucp. My men are going to conquer Berk. Then the dragons will be mine" Dagur said raising his fist and clenching it in front of his face.

"I'm not going to let that happen" Hiccup growled, a determined expression n his face as he shifted his feet and raised his swords higher.

Right then I heard a large explosion behind us and saw the ships firing upon the riders.

"Go help them" Hiccup said not taking his eyes off Dagur.

"Like Hel am I leaving you" I said.

"Astrid I need you to go. Now. I'll be fine" Hiccup said.

"No" I said, standing firm.

"Astrid. Please" Hiccup said his tone a little desperate.

I groaned and put my two axes back together, then whistling for Stormfly who swooped down beside us.

"Don't die" I said, grabbing the saddle and swinging my legs over and taking off.

I saw Snotlout and the twins working to destroy the ships on Berk's shores. Black Ice and Ironclad then flew past me.

"Where is Hiccup?" he asked.

"With Dagur. I need to stop those ships. Get down their and help him" I said and he nodded, taking off on Black Ice

"Ready girl. Let's show this armada why the Nadder is so Deadly" I said, gripping the reins to her saddle as we dove, blasting the ships below with hot magnesium fire.

I leaned in closer as we went into a full loop, avoiding the nets and arrows from the other ships.

"Watch out!" I heard a woman say as I turned to see an arrow flying towards me, grabbing my ax and lifting it quickly I stopped the arrow before it could hit me.

"What in Thor's name was that..." I said to myself "I know I heard someone. But it wasn't Ari or Helga...and I haven't heard that voice before..ever..."

I shook the strange feeling off as I tried focusing once more. That arrow had gotten too close. I needed to be on guard.

"Stormfly! Spikes!" I said and we stopped in midair, Stomrfly whipping her tail around to strike at the ship, breaking the mast and finishing off the ship with a blast of fire.

"Good girl" I said patting her as we flew forward.

Hiccup's POV

"Interesting Hiccup. Think you are good enough to best me?" Dagur taunted.

"No...I just don't want her around if something bad does happen." I said.

"Hmmm...fascinating..." Dagur said twirling the sword in his hand then charging at me.

I raising my swords to block his attack and he quickly repeated the effort as I blocked with my right sword.

I then slashed with my left and Dagur jumped back then charging forward once he regained his balance.

I dropped my stance to side sweep the feet out from under Dagur but he saw what i was doing and jumped before my feet could make contact with his shins.

"Ah, ah, ah Hiccup" Dagur taunted as he jumped back and wagged his finger.

"Trying to knock me off my feet?" he said "That wasn't very nice"

"Well excuse my manners at the moment. You are attacking my village and threatening to take my best friend along with another friend's dragon as your own" I said raising my swords.

This time I charged at Dagur, leaping up into the air and twisting my body around to slash at Dagur with both of my swords. He dodged the first sword and blocked the second one with his own.

"You've gotten better since the last time we met Hiccup" Dagur said as I pushed my sword against his.

"I've had a lot of practice and one hell of a teacher" I said.

"Too bad it isn't enough to save you" Dagur said pushing me with his own sword causing me to leap back.

I then clicked the bottom half of my two swords, spinning around creating a circle of Zippleback gas as Dagur charged at me, then igniting it.

The explosion forced Dagur back but I had made the circle too small and the explosion forced me back as well. My head hit the hard ground as I groaned, sitting up.

I saw Dagur doing the same and gripped both of my swords, standing up, swaying a bit. Dagur was up as well raising his sword.

I heard the familiar screech of Toothless's wings and grinned, clicking the blades of my swords back and putting them away as I lowered my stance.

"What are you doing?" Dagur said, actually confused by my actions.

I then jumped up right as Toothless soared past me, grabbing onto his saddle and quickly pulling myself up and onto Toothless.

I saw Dagur had been thrown back by the force of Toothless's maneuver.

"Thanks bud." I said.

"What were you thinking taking him on alone! I know you are good with your swords but that was the reason you were almost knocked out! I swear Hiccup!"

"I know, I know. You can give me a full lecture after the battle is over" I said, leaning into the saddle as Toothless barrel rolled to avoid the nets being sent at us.

"Hiccup!" I heard Ironclad yell as he flew beside us.

"All the dragon root is taken care of" he said.

"Thank Thor for Fishlegs" I said, relieved Dagur had lost an important weapon in this battle. Ironclad nodded and dove back down to the ground.

"Circle back to Dagur. We need to take him out of the battle, try and force him to retreat" I said to Toothless.

Toothless nodded and dove back down to the battle.

I saw Ironclad and Black Ice were fighting alongside each other on the ground, stopping every Beserker that came their way.

I looked to see Ora raising her hammer at Dagur once me and Toothless landed.

"You are scum! Invading this island was the worst decision you could have ever made." Ora yelled as she charged at Dagur.

"I think Ironclad's sister is handling Dagur pretty well" Toothless said as Ora relentlessly attacked Dagur with her hammer.

Dagur was fighting to stay on his feet as Ora's attacks seemed never-ending. Ora's hammer then placed a well aimed hit on Dagur's chest, sending him flying.

Right then I heard the battle cry of a Beserker attacking from behind me. I turned on my heels, whipping out my sword and igniting the blade, countering his attacks as Toothless knocked his far away with his tail.

Hiccup's POV

I sprinted over to where Dagur had landed.

He sat up, rubbing his jaw and shoulder.

"Mental note, don't get near that one again" he said to himself as he stood up, grabbing a fallen warrior's sword.

"Its over Dagur look around you!" I yelled, gesturing to the battle taking place all around us.

He surveyed the battle before him. The Riders were taking out most of the ships and Dagur's forces were not able to advance any further as Berk's warriors were pushing back.

Dagur growled, obviously displeased.

Dagur pulled out the specially carved whistle and put the wooden object to his lips. He blew into the whistle letting out a high pitched noise that made many warriors stop their fighting and cover their ears.

"What in Thor's name was that!" I yelled removing my hands from my ears.

"My secret weapon" Dagur said grinning.

"We already got rid of the roots! What else do you...oh no" I said realizing what Dagur was talking about.

Right then I saw a large dragon burst out from a ship at sea.

"Dahlia.." I said remembering the woman Kol, Klint, and Heith encountered.

"Dahlia the Cunning. She is a determined little minx. Fueled by her need for revenge. Incredibly annoying though" Dagur said.

I cursed under my breath as I saw her Moon Hunter dragon fire upon the other riders.

"Now while she is taking care of your precious Riders. I'll be destroying you and taking over all of Berk" Dagur said charging at me. I quickly jumped to the side, preforming an emergency barrel roll.

"Toothless! Go help the others! I'll be fine" I said, raising my duel flaming swords.

"There is no way I am leaving you with such an insane individual."

"Go! They need you way more than I do!" I snapped.

"No!"

Right then Astrid and Stormfly flew by and Astrid dropped down beside me, brandishing her ax.

"If you think you facing Dagur without me again, you are more of an idiot than I thought Hiccup" Astrid said.

"I'll be fine, see. No get your reptile butt in gear and help the others!" I yelled Toothless looked torn but took off, flying towards Dahlia and her dragon.

"Astrid! How nice to see you again" Dagur said in a sarcastic tone.

"Can't say I feel the same Dagur. Now...get the hell off my island" she roared charging forward.

I sprinted after her as Dagur met both of us in the middle. Astrid swung her ax and Dagur blocked the blade with his own. I moved in to attack while Dagur was busy but he was quick. He moved, pushing Astrid back and blocking my attack as well.

"Two against one? I can't say that is hardly fair" he taunted after I leaped back.

"And when have you ever played fair?" I retorted.

"True, Hiccup. Very true" Dagur said as he then put on his insane grin and charged towards me. I lifted my swords but Astrid jumped in front of me and blocked his attack with her ax. She then spun her body as to cause Dagur's sword to fly in the opposite direction. As she stopped her maneuver, she raised the ax above her and brought it down on top of Dagur's head.

He stumbled back, gripping his head and tripping as he did so, falling right on his back.

"No one threatens my island or my betrothed." she growled.

As I stood back in awe of Astrid and her skill a large explosion was heard across town and I saw a billow of smoke rising.

"The twins just blew up one of our own buildings. They better hope it was extremely necessary or an accident or else I will throttle them!" Astrid yelled in anger.

"Get Stormfly and try putting out the fire. It will spread fast and we can't have Berk burning to the ground." I said and she nodded signaling Stormfly to fly down to her.

"Be safe. Dagur isn't one to go down easy" she said hopping on Stormfly and flying off to the fire.

Dagur groaned as he stood up, cracking his neck.

"Okay after this battle, I will defiantly make Astrid my bride just so I can break her even more so. I won't stop until she is nothing more than a pathetic rag doll, a doll that doesn't even have the will to beat me." he said walking over and grabbing the ax of a fallen Beserker warrior.

A fire erupted inside me at Dagur's words. There was no way in hell I was letting that maniac get his hands on Astrid.

Not while I still had a breath in my body.

I charged at Dagur who cackled like the mad man he was.

Sorry to cut this chapter right here but I want to post this part and then follow up with the rest of the battle probably tomorrow.

I had some technical difficulties with my computer. I thought I was able to save the rest of the chapter but it cut off early.

So please please please review! :)
