"Keep him there Toothless," he called to his friend, as he put his wings away and took out the ear plugs "It's all over now."
"Or is it?" the man said smirking looking at something behind the boy.
Hearing it behind him, sensing it was there, Hiccup turned and saw the Alpha about to blast him with an attack.
'HICCUP!' Toothless cried out and covered him with his wings protecting him as the ice coated them.
Cold... that's what it was when Hiccup got his feelings back. It was also dark and a little hard to breath.
Looking around, Hiccup saw Toothless was over him, his wings held up to protect him, and his large worry filled eyes on him.
'You ok Hiccup?' he asked cooing and sniffing his brother to check.
"Yeah..." Hiccup said getting onto his knees and hugging Toothless "Yeah I'm alright. Thanks to my big brother."
'Hiccup... will you still treat me as a brother if I become an Alpha?' Toothless asked after flicking his ears a bit, scuffing the ground.
"Why are you asking?" Hiccup asked a slight ringing in his ears too, and a felling of warmth to banish the cold around them coming to him.
'Because that's the only way to get rid of the Dark King,' Toothless explained snarling, nodding his head slowly as if answering an unasked question. 'For a new Alpha to challenge and beat him.'
Slowly the black as night dragon began to glow blue, the same blue he was when they went with Astrid to see the Frightmare, and his fins were popping out again to make him look more important.
Hiccup felt his eyes growing bigger as a smile came to his face, then curled up into a safe position again while Toothless took a deep breath and blasted the iced cage around them, causing it to explode.
o0o
Outside everyone was shocked and had wide eyes at the now blue Night Fury, relieved that Hiccup was alright when he removed his wings then turning to the Bewilderbeast cried out in anger...
'YOU MESS WITH MY BROTHER YOU ANSWER TO ME YOU BIG FAT GLACIER!'
'Hey bud...' Hiccup said getting the dragons attention 'Show him what happens when you mess with Night Fury's.'
Smiling Toothless turned back to the Bewilderbeast and hopped onto one of the ice spires 'I CHALLENGE YOU FOR CONTROL OF THIS FLOCK KING!'
o0o[][][][]o0o
On the ground Valka and Astrid came running up to Hiccup.
"Hiccup? What's he doing he's going to get himself killed," Astrid said gesturing to the dragon.
"He's challenging the Alpha," Hiccup said smiling "That's the only way to get rid of him, for a new one to challenge and beat him." Hiccup said grinning repeating what he was told.
[][][][]
'TAKE THAT!' Noche cried out blasting at the King 'AND THAT! AND THIS!'
'I WILL NOT GIVING YOU PUNY LITTLE NIGHT FURY!' the King cried out only to be blasted again his hold on the other dragons weakening.
Feeling that being the case the King swung his head making his tusks slice right through the spire Noche was on, only for the pest to jump and land on the one just below it and continue firing at him.
o0o
Up above, the hypnotized dragons began blinking and shaking their heads shaking the feeling out and looking over to where they sensed the cause was coming from.
Stormfly was one of the first to wake up and as she saw Noche in his Alpha Colors, knew he could do it.
o0o
Looking up, Noche saw Stormfly and the other dragons looking to him.
Jumping down so he was beside Hiccup, and Valka he called up to them
'DRAGONS OF THE FROZEN NEST, BERK, AND DRAGO'S ARMY... LEAVE THIS KING AND COME OVER TO ME WHERE YOU'LL BE SAFE AND LOVED. MY BROTHER AND I WILL PROTECT YOU TOGETHER.' he called pointing his head back to Hiccup but always looking up to the flock of dragons.
o0o
As soon as the speech was over Stormfly, and the rest of Dragon Rider's dragons, along with Cloudjumper, and Skullcrusher, were the first ones to begin to lead the three different herds over to fly above and behind Noche Oscura.
o0o[][][][]o0o
Seeing this happen Drago began to panic and run towards the Bewilderbeast.
"No no no no no no," he cried using his hook to leap onto the tusk and run up it "Fight back! FIGHT BACK! What's the matter with you?!"
But it was no use as soon as he looked around every last dragon he had was now over to the other side, all of them, along with the humans wearing fierce ready to fight faces.
o0o
After Hiccup got on top of Toothless they leapt to the highest spire.
"Now do you get it?" he asked Drago gesturing behind him "This... Is what it is, to earn a dragon's loyalty. Let this end now!"
"NEVER! COME ON!" Drago answered raising is bull-hook getting the Bewilderbeast to charge his blast.
"Alright we tried..." Hiccup said shrugging then called out to the Dragons 'HOLD NOTHING BACK WHEN YOU SHOOTING AT THEM! WE NEED TO GET THEM TO LEAVE!'
'With pleasure brother...' Toothless said proudly and let off the first blast cutting off the charge.
Suddenly all around them all the dragons began firing at the Bewilderbeast.
All the Vikings were looking around in amazement at seeing all the dragons give a full out attack the Bewilderbeast, on Hiccup's command no less, after he spoke in that odd language.
o0o
On top of the Bewilderbeast's head, Drago was forced to hide behind one of the spines to keep himself safe from the blasts.
"FIGHT!" he screamed to the dragon he was standing on, then scream in pain and fear when one blast shot off his prosthetic arm.
o0o[][][][]o0o
Rearing up to fire ice at all of them the King was getting ready when one last powerful blast from Noche fired at him, knocking his head backwards and and smoke to appear. When it began to clear up the left tusk fell to the ground, sheared clean off thanks to the power.
'LEAVE NOW YOU SORRY EXCUSE FOR A KING!' Noche roared to the white dragon 'AND DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK!'
"The Alpha protects them all," Hiccup said looking up at Drago, glaring at him slightly.
[][][][]
Overwhelmed and overpowered, the Dark Bewilderbeast finally yields and turns his back to the new Alpha whining an apology before he dove into the sea.
o0o
Up on land cheers of victory were being heard, but Hiccup and Toothless stayed up on the spire looking into the sea, watching the smoke clear and reveal nothing but bubbles.
No sign of the Bewilderbeast or Drago.
'If they come back, we'll deal with them together Hiccup,' Toothless said looking up to him smiling. 'I promise...'
'Thanks bud,' Hiccup said looking over his shoulder to the Vikings and dragons waiting for their new leaders 'Come on...'
As they land, Toothless not needing them anymore, dims his Alpha Colors and puts away his fins, until he was back to normal.
Once he was, Hiccup hopped off and looked to his people a worried look on his face at how they would react, and how much they knew.
But before he could ask, all the dragons from Berk, the Frozen Nest, and Drago's Army began to land circling them smiles just visible on their faces.
Slowly Cloudjumper came forward and bowed to his new Alpha making a wave go through all the dragons and them bow too.
'Thank you, my king...' they all said together.
At first Toothless looked surprised but then stood up tall and proud smiling the biggest smile Hiccup had ever seen.
'AS YOUR NEW KING,' he began looking around 'MY FIRST REQUEST, IS THAT YOU TREAT ME AND BY BROTHER HICCUP AS EQUALS, AND EVERYONE ON THIS ISLAND AS IF THEY WERE YOUR OWN TOO!'
'YES MY KING!' the dragons cried smiling.
"You never cease to amaze me bud," Hiccup said coming up to him "Thank you. But you know you really didn't need to tell them that, you deserve the high seat more than I do..."
'Hiccup...' Toothless began then started licking him placing a word in before each lick to get the message across 'You... Are... My... Brother... Of course they need to tread us as equals.'
"Gah... Toothless you know that doesn't was out!" Hiccup cried trying to push him away.
o0o
The crowd laughed slightly at the boy's interaction with his dragon and welcomed back all of theirs.
After finally getting Toothless off him, Hiccup went to check on a confused Skullcrusher.
'Where is you're Sire, Prince?' the Rumblehorn asked looking around not finding Stoick anywhere.
'Gone... I'm sorry...' Hiccup said looking into the dragons eyes sensing someone behind him and turning to see Eret.
"That was some pretty fine dragon rambling back there..." he said pointing to the cliff where the Bewilderbeast was standing "If you like, you could make a good trapper, but something tells me you don't right?" he asked laughing, looking to the Rumblehorn that just butted his arm.
"You know, Skullcrusher's going to need someone to look after him now," Hiccup said a smile on his face.
"Me?" Eret asked looking from the dragon to the boy.
"That's what he's asking," Hiccup said shrugging.
"I'd be honored," Eret said patting the dragon smiling as he nodded to Hiccup.
o0o
Turning Hiccup saw Valka come up to him pride washed all over her.
"You're father, will be every bit as proud as I am," she said running her fingers through her son's hair smiling.
"Thank you," Hiccup said nodding his thanks "I'm really glad you're here mum."
"And here I'll stay." she said stepping away letting Astrid to come forward.
"See... Told you it was in here," she said springing the dorsal fin of his flight suit.
"Ha ha... Still doing that one? That's hilarious..." he said looking to the sky then to her "Come here you..." he said wrapping an arm around her waist and bringing her closer for a kiss.
After a bit, Hiccup felt a tap on his shoulder getting him to turn and see Gothi, staff in hand requesting him to kneel. But he doesn't.
Instead he looks to his people, Vikings and Dragons feeling that they deserved an answer first...
"People of Berk... I have a story to tell that might get you to want a different Chief," He began this getting whispers and shocked faces "But if after you still want me, than Chief I will become...
'It all starts back when I was a baby," he began Toothless coming over for support. "You see I was not ever the true son of Valka and Stoick.
That much some of the older people of the tribe know," this getting confused faces from the younger people of the tribe.
"However the story they know is not correct either..." he continued sighing "You see, the part of be coming from a different tribe... was only half right.
I was from a different island, but not one that homed any humans... Because I... Am not a Human, I am a Dragon."
He stopped here to wait for the gasps, the cries of denial and wonder, and questions to die down with the thanks from Toothless.
"Some of you, over the last five years, may of managed to see that I am really very good with dragons and seem to know what's the matter and how to fix it and especially close to Toothless," Hiccup continued looking around to everyone getting nods from them.
"Well that's because I can understand them. They can just tell me what's wrong and I set out to fix it. And I'm so close to Toothless because he's my brother," once again these two pieces of news having a big effect on everyone.
"Together we are the sons of Nyx and Artemis of the Night Fury's of the Isle of Night," he explained proudly "The reason I'm like... this..." he said guesturing to all of himself, making some Vikings chuckle a bit "Is because Draco, the god to all dragons, chose me to one day bring our worlds together and keep the piece between Dragon and Human kind." he finished up slightly shocked by the silence of the crowd but didn't show it.
"So... Now you know the truth..." Hiccup began biting his lip "Do you still want me to be Chief?"
Slowly Astrid came up, a small smile on her face. Then... 'PUNCH' "That's for thinking we wouldn't want you..." she said then before he or any of the dragons could retaliate, she kissed him with even more passion than he did her and pulled away. "That's for everything else... Dragon-Boy. ALL HAIL THE CHIEF!" she cried out to the crowd who screamed it back.
Nodding and keeping his promise, Hiccup then turned to Gothi and knelt before her.
Using the ash from some wreckage next to her, Gothi drew the sign of Chiefship onto the boy's forehead.
When she was done, she bowed smiling an old women's knowing smile, getting Hiccup to think she knew about this all along.
Getting back up, Hiccup turned back to his people smiling.
"THE CHIEF HAD COME HOME!" Gobber cried out cheerfully.
"LONG LIVE THE CHIEF!" the Viking's called out "LONG LIVE THE CHIEF! LONG LIVE THE CHIEF!"
While they cheered for him the dragons gave their form of it lead by Toothless as the shot their blasts into the sky, making them combine together into one large explosion in the sky.
o0o
To celebrate the new 'rulers' of the Isle of Berk, it was suggested that a Dragon race would take place.
While Astrid, Snotlout, the Twins, Fishlegs, and Eret did that, Hiccup with the help of Toothless helped fix the houses that the attack destroyed, and all of Drago's dragons were lined up outside the forge at last being freed of their heavy armor.
'Come on Mi Amore...' Stormfly called as she and Astrid zipped past trying to get the boys to play.
'Can we Hiccup?' Toothless asked grinning.
'Well we can't leave them to win can we?' Hiccup answered clicking the switch and they shot off after the Black Sheep catching it just as the girls were about to get it.
Hiccup and Toothless dove for the baskets getting closer and closer.
When they were close enough, they detaching from each other, Hiccup running along the top, dumping the sheep into Astrid's basket while Toothless went underneath, reattaching as they came back out to cheers of the Vikings and Dragons.
Together they land on the Chiefs Dias where they were joined by Astrid and Stormfly then slightly below them but still up there to be noticed they were joined by the other riders all of them smiling with pride as Toothless and the dragons let out proud roars.
AN: So sorry everyone, this chapter was not meant to go on this long... And if the middle part seems a bit confusing I'm sorry...
But the good news... to some, others might be a bit upset... Is that there is only going to be one chapter left (an epilogue) but I'm not going to give any spoilers just to keep you guessing...
