Hiccup, astrid and brian walked towards the great hall as the sun was starting to get close to the sea. It had been almost 3 weeks since grimmel had attacked the outpost and yet no one had sighted the enemy fleet since then. Brian had tripled the flights and had tripled the scouting for the area also increasing the area as well yet no sign of the enemy had been found.

¨its weird no sign of them yet 5 of our men are dead.¨ hiccup said walking towards the great hall with astrid at his side and toothless behind him

¨it is very strange but i have put out more outposts on islands surrounding us. I also sent sonic back to his homeworld apparently robotnik has launched a full offensive to completely overtake knothole so I sent him and part of the 501st to help repel them." brian said as he walked with them with his helmet in his arm.

¨it seems the longer we take to defeat them here the more robotnik advances. We need to find them and we need to wipe them out." astrid says

¨that does seem to be happening, we need to find this enemy and destroy them."Brian said then suddenly a shout is heard.

"GENERAL WE HAVE INCOMING CRAFT!" the clone said brian put on his helmet and took a look finding part of the enemy fleet coming towards them.

"Sound the assemble call have all soldiers get into position." brian says quickly to a clone as soldiers and vikings alike take positions in pillboxs and mortar holes. Brian stayed were he was at looking through the binoculars as hiccup and astrid stood by brian waiting for orders

"Hiccup astrid i want you to get to the stables and prepare the riders, once they are within range i will open up with the artillery standby for my word and attack when i give the word." brian said, both hiccup and astrid nodded putting on there dragon helmets and ran off towards the stables with toothless coming behind. Brian watches them go until dirt showered on him from a explosion

"Sir what are your orders?" thorner asks

"Have the men ready artillery wait for my coordinates and signal to open fire." brian said. As the enemy ships got closer continued to stand were he was watching them get closer

"Artillery focus fire on coordinates gump-bravo-0-9-6-2-1-1-3-oxide fire at will." brian said into his comlink as the artillery opened fire, some of the shells hitting the water and some of the shells hitting the ships. Brian watched for awhile and then ran towards the trench line with the others joining thorner in the trench

"Sir they have a lot of ships even at this rate the artillery won't be able to destroy them all."

"I know thorner we will have to engage them here on the beach tell everyone to conserve ammo and use incendiary rounds those are old wooden ships and burn easily."

"Yes general" thorner said passing the word down the line. As the ships got close brian watched the landing craft come forward and there troops step on the beach, when they did the machine guns erupted opening fire on them and tearing many to shreds. As they did the mortar crews fired hitting both the beach and many of the landing craft. As the explosions threw sand and shrapnel all over the enemy fighters who continued to pour onto the beach. Brian gave the signal and the riders game out of the stables, spitting fire and plasma onto the enemy fighters.

Brian smiled to himself as he watched the enemy start to retreat then heard the familiar sound of vultures, he looked up and saw droid fighters coming in hot with more enemy fighters

"Hiccup get up in those clouds vultures incoming." brian said into his comlink then watched as alot more enemy troops landed on the beach. "Thorner pull everyone back to the secondary positions and prepare for close quarter fighting." brian said as he fired his rifle killing several enemy soldiers as the clones and vikings pulled back with their weapons. Brian and several other clones gave covering fire until they pulled back as well. As brian pulled back a short mortar round explodes behind him causing him to fall on his face, when he got up he turned and fired as the enemy was right on top of him. He fired and fired until he heard a familiar sound and ducked as a plasma bolt shot ahead of him blowing away some of the enemy soldiers. When he looked he saw a black night fury almost identical to toothless except he had blue eyes like brian, brian looked at the dragon and realized it was the same night fury as before then, after the nightfury nodded to him, brian climbed on and with another fireball of plasma the night fury and brian shot off towards the sky

"Lets kick some ass." brian said as he leaned forward and the night fury chased after the vulture fighters then diving towards the ground shooting and killing a lot of enemy soldiers. Brian watched then motioned towards the fleet of enemy ships turning to sea and they set off as brian jumped off the nightfury activating his wing suit and dove onto one ship knocking several enemy soldiers off of the ship as he stood there he saw captain standing by the helm.

"Slaughter him." the captain said as brian activated his lightsaber cutting down one after the other and then used his lightsaber to cut a hole down and down until he reached the hill itself cutting a hole then shooting out with the force and landing on the nightfury who looked at brian with a toothless grin and then they circled back to the town of burk, brian watched from above as the remaining enemy fighters surrendered. Brian looked to his left and saw toothless and hiccup on one side then astrid and stormfly on another. They all landed as the enemy fleet fled with only 3 ships remaining that were not sinking or engulfed in flame. Brian landed the night fury and got off scratching it behind the ears like he had seen hiccup do to toothless.

"Brian that's a-"

"A second night fury." astrid said interrupting hiccup

"He showed up the same time we did, guess he chose me before i realized he did." brian said as he put his hand on the dragon's snout and pressed his face against the dragons.

"A second night fury….. I thought only toothless was left but this…. This is amazing. Woah and he is the same age as you bud." hiccup said inspecting the nightfury who licked hiccup like toothless did "and obviously doesn't know that doesnt wash out." hiccup said causing laughter from the people around him

"What are you to name him brian?" astrid asked as the nightfury, toothless, the light fury and stormfly all played

"Good question…. How about shadowmere you like that name bud?" brian asked the dragon who looked at him nodded his approval and continued to play with the other 3 dragons.

"Well i guess shadowmere is a ok name, we have to get you fitted with a saddle now." hiccup said

"I agree with you on that one hiccup almost fell off a couple times but nothing to big, i need it sleek and fast ya know."

"Well, I have my old one from toothless, the saddle is great just doesn't have any handles."

"I'm guessing i won't need any hiccup i can hang on." brian said then turning to the whole village. "Congratulations on winning the day everyone but be prepared they will be back." brian said then realized that most of the buildings were on fire.

"I think we need to work on that a little." hiccup said

That night as hiccup helped show brian how to saddle shadowmere brian and hiccup talked about the events of the day

"There numbers were greater than expected and grimmel never showed which is surprising."

"Actually it's not hiccup, grimmel is probably back at their main base by now rallying the forces for a full strike against us, and i'm sorry to say but we won't be able to really defend this place now." brian said tightening the saddle a bit

"So your saying to find a better island? But were there aren't really any open islands within the area."

"Not near this area, near the hidden world there are tho." brian said as he took the saddle off after making sure it fit right.

"We don't know where that even is brian and even if we did how could we know what island to use?" hiccup asked as he sat in his chair

"14 nautical miles from the hidden world and exactly 3 hours from the enemy main facility lies a island bigger than this one, it is better for defending and such." brian says showing hiccup were it is at on the map.

"Brian as nice as it sounds I can't do that, our families have lived here all of their lives leaving would be like leaving them behind." hiccup said

"Hiccup i won't force you or anyone to leave because a home is a home but remember this, home is always where the heart is." brian said as he and shadowmere left hiccups house, leaving hiccup to think. Hiccup looked at his father's chair and realizing something he hoped would never happen he stood up determined.

The next day the entire village was gathered in the great hall to listen to the plan hiccup has. As everyone stood hiccup stood as well

"As we all know in legends lies the ancient home of the dragons, the place they all came from but now they are threatened, we must defend them all from peril no matter the cost. Our island has been our home for generations but now it is time to leave. If we stay our dragons will be unsafe and we might lose them. I know it doesnt sound the best but it is what we have to do." hiccup says

"Why should we leave? We defended this spot once we can do it again."

"That was a 4th of there forces, the remaining will attack and when they do they will steamroll us and destroy this island, us and take our dragons. The plan hiccup has is the best option possible." brian said nodding at hiccup

"I dont like the idea for leaving but if its better for not only us but our dragons we better to do it." astird said as everyone looked around and silently agreed.

For the rest of the day everyone packed and then set off towards the island, hiccup looked behind them and saw the statue of his father in the distance, questioning if this was really the right choice for them when he felt something hit his neck. He turned and saw brian riding shadowmere holding rations and tossed hiccup one

"Calm down hiccup we will be fine we have to get there quickly tho." brian said

When they finally reached the island everyone loved it and immediately set up defensive positions and started making houses and such making the new burk. Brian and hiccup watched and watched to make sure they weren't followed and when they were sure they went into the new village.

"General just got word from captain rex, robotnik has taken the capitol and has pushed them into the wilderness sir. They are requesting immediate support." thorner said

"Hiccup you and i must finish this." brian said as the both brian and hiccup quickly mounted and flew off on there dragons into the sunset. As the reached old berk they saw the enemy fleet about to put down there anchor and new it was the perfect time and attacked. Brian and hiccup attacked and attacked taking down every ship. As brian flew close he dropped grenades that exploded taking the entire ship down with the explosion. As the last of the ships sank and the survivors went to old burk brian and hiccup saw a separatist light cruisers take off and enter space. Knowing it carried grimmel they let it go and returned back to new berk were they found many houses up once again.

"So what remains of the enemy?" astrid asked

"We sunk there ships but grimmel escaped. Brian i will have them stay here but i will come with we need to help sonic as soon as possible." hiccup said

" right MEN GRAB YOUR GEAR AND PREPARE TO GET ON GUNSHIPS WE LEAVE IN 3 MIKES!" brian said as he went to grab equipment

"Hiccup you can't be serious to think i will stay here while you are off fighting and-"astrid tried to say but was cut short by a giant kiss from hiccup

"I need you to lead them while i am gone, this war will end soon and when it does i will return to live my life with you as my wife." hiccup said as toothless boarded a gunship with brian and shadowmere then was joined by hiccup and the gunship lifted off quickly and as soon as they were in the hanger the ship jumped into hyperspace to go fight robotnik.
