How You Doing Insane Gang!
Wow, I didn't think I would be doing a part 4 but as I was writing part 3 it got way too long so I decided to separate it. This is the last part of the mini-series.
Sorry if this is too OOC. Also, let me know if you guys want more Viking realism in future one-shots.
Disclaimer: I don't anything except for my OC Osvif.
He huffed before running inside the mouth of the cave. Hiccup gave chase, weaving his way past large ice icicles and structures.
Johann made a drastic turn as if he spotted something of interest. It was then Hiccup saw a lone egg on a makeshift ice pedestal.
"Oh no, you don't!" Hiccup heaved his shield like a frisbee hitting Johann in the middle of his back, plastering him to the ground.
He stalked towards him, ready to run his sword into his back.
Not a stitch was out of place on his clothes, he wasn't drenched in blood or sweat. He must have hung back from the actual fight until an opportunity arose to grab the egg and leave.
"You're a coward Johann! Letting people die for you when you yourself just stand there and watch."
Johann laughed moving into a pressed up position. "Oh dear Hiccup, you don't know me at all."
He whipped around shooting a knife from his sleeve. The act caught Hiccup by surprise, the blade tore into the flesh of his bicep before skidding off into the ice. He dropped his sword, cradling the bleeding gash of his upper muscle.
Hiccup closed his eyes and hissed at the feeling until he lost his breath. Johann had capitalized on his injury and tackled him to the ground. Straddling him, Johann laid out vicious punches.
Each jab was hard and meaningful, Hiccup's head banged against the ice again and again. His mouth was bleeding along with a new cut on his cheek. Johann's fists were stained with it. Hiccup was able to cock his arm back to hit him in the chin. The monstrous hit sent him off.
Catching his breath, Hiccup leaned his head to the side, spitting out a frothy mixture of blood and saliva.
He shakily got up to meet Johann again. He dodged a punch delivered to return one of his own into his cheek. A tooth spurted out along with blood. Snotlout can attest to how hard Hiccup's punches are.
Another knife came sliding out of Johann's tunic trying to slice him into mincemeat. Hiccup ducked low and went side to side, he was able to block with a forearm and used his other hand to force the knife back.
Hiccup was able to get both hands on the knife, forcing Johann back to a wall.
"Even if you kill me today, I'm not the only one coming for the King of Dragons." He grunted, "This is larger than me, larger than you Hiccup Haddock."
"Then I'll just continue on fighting." Hiccup growled.
Johann's strength gave up on him and Hiccup was able to force his knife hand into his own neck, manipulating it to slash a clean line through his throat. The knife instantly clattered onto the floor. He slowly made his way down the wall, clawing at his neck and gasping for air. Blood flowed out into puddles and all over the front of him as he sat slumped over.
Hiccup collapsed onto his back, seeing the traitor was dead. His hands clasped his wrists over his forehead, trying to control his breathing.
Gathering his strength, he was able to drag Johann out of the cave. Once outside the battle was dying down. Only a few hunters were left as some tried to flee to their surviving ships.
Those who were still tempting to fight saw Hiccup dragging Johann's body. It was then they knew it was over. He dropped the body unceremoniously near the center of the battlefield.
His shield was strapped to his back and his sword was tucked into his side.
Stoick was the first one to raise his ax and let out a Berkian war cry. Others followed suit as the Berserkers let out their own.
Hiccup stepped along bodies as other veterans began to pick up their own dead. Berkians, Beserkers, Wingmaidens, and Defenders alike will be separated and piled onto pyres to burn in the evening. The hunters and flyers will be piled and set ablaze on the earth. They will not get the honor of a pyre.
He was able to find his friends grouping together.
Dagur was saturated in blood, still laughing at the tremendous victory.
"Brother!"
He swung an arm around his shoulders, bringing him into a loose headlock.
"I hope all of that isn't your blood."
He laughed. "Hoho! Right you are!" "I was a killing machine out there! It was glorious!"
Heather had less blood on her but not by much. Her eyes were blown wide from leftover adrenaline. "You seemed to have faired well Hiccup, I'm slightly surprised."
"I'm surprised at myself too for not getting too many wounds but I—"
Snotlout slapped him on the back. "Oh please, Hiccup can hold his own, tell that to my missing teeth."
Hiccup hadn't seen Snotlout since the beginnings before he sent him to surround the enemy on the side. Blood splattered heavily on his forehead and he had to constantly wipe it clear from his eyes, leaving streaks on his cheeks and nose.
The twins were sneakily wiping their weapons on the back of Snotlout's tunic. Blood mostly covered their bodies and clothes rather than their faces.
"I saw you two having fun." Hiccup commented.
"Oh yeah H!" Tuffnut began, "It was probably to the most fun we had in a while."
Ruffnut nodded. "We should do this more often."
Stoick tried to hide a smile. "I appreciate the enthusiasm but because of dragons are able to get everything, we haven't had the need to raid as much, even so, dragons had made it impossible for anyone to stop us."
"That's too bad, there was so much chaos in brought tears to my eyes." Tuffnut wiped fake tears, only smearing blood from under his eyes.
His sister hummed in agreement.
"Well, I for one never want to do this again." Fishlegs whimpered, crossing his arms. He was more sweaty than anything, a fine mist of blood covered his face.
Hiccup placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "We won't, at least not without our dragons."
As if on command Toothless came bounding up to him, tongue lolling.
"Hey, Bud!"
The dragon enveloped him into his wings.
"It's good to see you bud and thanks for the save from Krogan."
"You saw him?" Stoick prompted.
Hiccup nodded. "Yeah, I fought him until Toothless saw I needed help and just torched him."
The twins' eyes widened. "Wicked."
Osvif came hobbing over with Astrid as his support. His whole right side was drenched in blood including the right side of his face. Astrid had blood covering most of her arms, and face.
Hiccup unconsciously wiped the blood trickling down his neck, streaking it in the process while heavy blood splatters littered the rest of his face.
Osvif took Dagur as support to let Astrid be reunited with her friends and boyfriend.
She smiled at Hiccup. "Look at that...still in one piece."
"Well you know a few knicks here and there but overall still have a foot."
He pulled her in by the waist, keeping one arm there and another cradled around her shoulders.
Astrid had her hands around his chest.
"Wow, future chief and chieftess looking absolutely fierce." Osvif teased. "You both did amazing in battle, Hiccup you especially, it'll be an honor to serve under you someday."
Coming out the embrace, Hiccup bent his head slightly embarrassed. He kept a hand firm on Astrid's waist. "Thank you Osvif, you and Astrid helped me a great deal with my fighting."
Fishlegs agreed. "Definitely, you guys should have seen Hiccup saving me from battling two hunters."
"He saved me too by shooting an arrow into some hunter's head that was about to slice open my back," Astrid added, flicking up his chin with her finger.
Hiccup pinched her hip. "Shut up..."
Stoick held his stomach as he let out a booming laugh. "Aye it's true after I sent Osvif off to help the Berserkers, those two—he pointed two fingers at the couple—killed everyone in a 3 feet radius."
Dagur waved them on. "Let's start on building those pyres, I want to see my Mala."
They began traveling down to see the rest of their allies working on sorting the bodies. Dagur reunited with his love. As well as Snotlout seeing Atali and Minden.
Astrid held back Hiccup by his hand. He gave her a quizzical gaze.
"Did I ever tell you how proud I am of you Hiccup?"
He snorted in return. "Maybe once or twice."
She cupped his cheeks, running a thumb to smooth of his jaw. "You were a commanding leader today, and fighting your heart out for every dragon and ally."
"I just did what was right, even if it meant killing." "Somethings just can't end in peace..." He swallowed, "...I know that now."
"Would you do it again if events forced you too?" Astrid lowered her voice.
Hiccup looked away only to reconnect his gaze. "I would."
Astrid leaned up for a kiss. He pressed down more, deepening it.
They separated but still kept their foreheads connected.
Hiccup cleared his throat "I'm glad I didn't lose you today."
Astrid gave him a small smile. "I'll be right by your side for as long as the Gods allow it."
"Forever then." He claimed her lips once more.
