Alvin the Outcast, back and on Berk! Did the others know? What was he doing here and why does he have a dragon? Did he train it, if so... then how! Hiccup for sure didn't teach him how and Ech didn't either. A sinking feeling filled Hiccup's heart. He knew the answer to that question. Deep down he knew. Mildew. That old crotchety dragon hating, sheep loving piece of dragon dung! The thought of that made his blood boil with anger, but his anger was soon consumed with fear and worry. Fear of what is to become of Berk, his wife, and unborn child. A wide grin appeared on Alvin's face as he pressed forward with his dragon. Ech knew what kind of dragon this one was. She saw it in the Dragon Book. It was called the Whispering Death. Yet, somehow Alvin managed to gain the dragons trust and was riding on it! This was absolutley unbelievable! Next to Ech was Toothless he was growling, his wings spread out and saying something to the Whispering Death that no one knew. The Whispering Death however responded with low hisses and a glare. Ech was wondering if the two knew eachother or if Toothless was just being protective. "As you can see boy. I have trained a dragon of my own! His name is BloodFang!" He chuckled and launched at Ech who dodged quickly before being struck. Both Toothless and Bluelight fired their fire at the Whispering Death, but it dug underground to avoid the attack. The dragon did not reapper and both Hiccup and Ech got a sickly feeling in their stomach. "This is bad! Alvin trained a dragon and he's here on Berk! The village is in trouble! Quick we need to head back." Hiccup hastily mounted on Toothless who was ready to go when Ech stopped them. "Wait! What about Jex?" The little dragon gave a frightened whimper. "Hide him back in Clover Cove. Once you do fly back to Berk." Hiccup flew away, heading back to the village with urgency. Ech leaded the black Snaptrapper back to Clover Cove to hide him there. She placed him in a small cave found due south in Clover Cove. It was small and an excellent hiding place from enemies. Once Ech placed the young dragon she climbed onto Bluelight and headed back to Berk hurridly. As she approached the village the sound of dragons and vikings could be heard. Screams of rage and sadness echoed. Both villagers of Berk and Outcasts had their own dragons and were fighting air battles. A few vikings however fought on land, with axes and swords. The landed Outcasts burned down the homes and chased the families out. Several bodies laid strewn on the floor. Be it from Outcast or from Berk was unknown yet. The Outcasts rode on a variety of dragons like those of Berk. Mostly the main four. Zipplebacks, Monstrous Nightmares, Gronckles, and Nadders. There were two dragons that did stand out among the crowd of dueling dragons. A Whispering Death who was flying with Alvin and a Changewing which was rode by Savage. The two main dragons of the Outcasts were dismounting riders and laying the Berk dragons with ease. Stoick the Vast soon approached Alvin with his Thunderdrum, Thornado. He intended to defend his home even if it costed him his life. Alvin flew toward the Berk chief with a wide grin. He signaled the other Outcasts to stay out of his way. Stoick was his kill, no one shall interfere. The two dragons gave low hisses of displeasure. BloodFang was the first to strike. He whipped his snakelike body toward Thornado like a torpedo in a cicular motion. Stoick dodged the attack and Thornado fired his bellowing roar Alvin who was hit by it. The Whispering Death stumbled slightly, but quickly regained his composure. It then fired a ring of fire at his enemy, Thornado wasn't quick enough to dodge and took the full force of the attack. It burned the Thunderdrum terribly and Stoick right arm was completly coated black. He winced in pain and Thornado was losing altitude. The ring of fire caused one of Thornado's wings to be singed and lose the ability to fly. Alvin laughed and ordered BloodFang to strike again. And he did. It whipped its barbed tail at Stoick who was thrown off and fell from his dragon. Down. Down Down. His screams being drowned by the continuous fighting. Ech's eyes widened. Stoick the Vast was defeated and was tumbling down to the ground. "NO!" Ech heard Hiccup scream as he and Toothless faced Alvin. His eyes were filled with tears of rage. He saw his father plummet down and Thornardo soon following. "Alvin! I will defeat you here and now!" Hiccup screamed and charged at Alvin who ducked and was able to get a clear shot of the boy. Bloodfang fired another ring of fire at the duo, luckily they dodged the attack by Hiccup's quick and skilled manuevering abilites. Ech was trying desperatly to reach Hiccup but was being detered by Savage and his Changewing, Deathwing. Deathwing fired acid, at Bluelight who flew out of the way. It was obvious that Savage wasn't as skilled rider as Hiccup, herself, or Alvin. Still she had to defeat him as soon as possible if she had to help Hiccup. Toothless and BloodFang exchanged blows. Blood seeped from wounds from both dragons. Toothless's left leg was severly injured while BloodFang had a serious of bite and claw marks throughout his serpentine body. Toothless was hitting his shot limit. Two more bolts and he would be done. However, Hiccup was unsure how much the Whispering Death had left. He had to think this through. One false or miscaculated move and he was done for. "This island and dragons will soon belong to me boy! Give up and I might let you live!" "Never!" Hiccup and Toothless shouted simutaniously. Hiccup flew higher up into the air where the clouds were dark and gloomy. Toothless could blend in to the dark cover. Yes, like how he fought the Red Death. However, Alvin was aware of the plan. BloodFang rushed forward, mouth gaped open ready to attack once Alvin ordered. Hiccup was about to reach the cover of the clouds when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his side. He looked down, he was fine, but what was that pain he felt. The Viking boy looked down at Toothless who had his eyes closed, but quickly opened them. His eyes were filled with pain. Hiccup looked behind him at Toothless back wings. The paper wing that Gobber had crafted for Toothless was torn apart, but that wasn't it. Toothless's tail was askew. Blood rained down from the wound another attack would severe the tail completly. However, having it slightly torn off was enough to render the dragon flightless. "Toothless!" Hiccup screamed as he felt himself fall like his father, but with his dragon. Am I going to die... If I die.. At least I'm with Toothless. But Ech... Hiccup looked over at Ech who had defeated Savage by severing both Deathwings wings. She desperatly flew to Hiccup but was once again stopped, by Alvin this time. "Not so fast girlie! Now I will take care of you personally like your boyfriend there!" Both BloodFang and Alvin chortled hysterically. Hiccup's body fell behind a rock formation and she couldn't tell if someone saved him or if he fell...and died with Toothless. The thought brought tears to her eyes. No... She can't lose Hiccup! She would destroy Alvin and find Hiccup! Maybe it's not to late to save him, there could be time! Bluelight charged at BloodFang. The two dragons locked in close combat for several minutes. While the dragons where fighting, the riders were having a skirmish themselves. Alvin wielded a fairly large axe while Ech held a smaller axe. When the dragons were fighting in close quarters, bites and scratches were exchanged between them. Alvin and Ech attacked and blocked effectively against eachother. However, Ech made a wrong move, attacking when she should have blocked the incoming block from the right. Not only did Ech miscalculate her move, but Bluelight did so in unison with Ech. Alvin struck his axe to the right of her face, she managed to move her head back, but it wasn't enough to completly avert the attack. Her right eye received the blow. Blood poured from her eye as it was sliced in half. BloodFang also used his tail as a spear and struck Bluelight in the left eye. Punctering it, leaving both the rider and dragon with one eye. Ech covered her eye desperatly to stop the blood and seperated herself and Bluelight from Alvin. No... She couldn't die here. She had to win! Other than the missing eye Ech was okay. She could still fight. Bluelight roared, saying that he was prepared to sacrifice himself to protect Ech and hsi home. Ech smiled and was about to attack again when she was interrupted by a sudden darkening of the sky. Alvin noticed this too and looked up. The clouds couldn't be soon, but something else could. A pair of large wings. "Get away from her!" Screamed a familiar deranged voice. "Dagur!" She yelled and a large brown dragon with huge wings, about as long as five or seven houses lined up together. It's body was long and snakelike besides the large pair of wings. The dragon was a mixture of brown colors. On its head were horns very similar to a Monstrous Nightmare. The wings itself seemed extremely sharp. Dagur was ontop of the dragon. He flew down to Ech with a dangerous glare in his eyes. "We came to help! Ech, meet my dragon. Sharpwood the Timberjack."
