Battle on Berk

Toothless trusted Hiccup with his life, with everything. He loved Hiccup and they shared a special bond. However, if he were to be completely honest, flying blindfolded was not his idea of a good time. Hiccup and his crazy schemes.

"It's okay, Toothless. I promise it'll be alright." Hiccup rubbed the scales of his dragon's neck in reassurance. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you."

'Last time you said that, I was knocked out of the sky and you were taken away.' Toothless huffed as he sassed his friend.

"I realize I have said that before, but in my defense, we were never actually in danger, because it was my mom." Hiccup responded to the huff, assuming what Toothless was trying to say.

The Hobblegrunt cooed from behind them and Hiccup turned his head to check on their blind companion, the constant talking helping the dragon to follow them. Every once in a while he would stray off course and Hiccup would call to him to redirect him. For the most part, the blind Hobblegrunt was a decent flier.

Toothless wasn't actually upset about what happened with Valka. He was also okay with the blindfold. He really did trust Hiccup and besides that, they were really talented fliers. It was just quite the adjustment, to fly blind, but Toothless realized that he was maneuvering by instinct alone. He recognized what every movement of Hiccup's gears meant. When he felt a shift in his tail, he moved with it, and it had been smooth sailing. They were naturals.

Toothless was focused and alert, his mind was active and working fast. He was afraid that, when faced with the Bewilderbeast again, he would falter and it would take control of him again, but Hiccup said he would be there for him through it all, and he would help him find his way. So Toothless put all of his trust in his best friend, his human brother, and they made their way back home.

Flying back to Berk didn't end up taking too long. When it really came down to it, they hadn't been that far away to begin with. Without the detours and craziness of before, they were able to make good time. Dawn was approaching, and they would make their arrival as the sun began to rise.

Today was the day. It was time for everyone to make their final decisions. Drago smirked as he watched the Hooligan Tribe exit the Great Hall and trudge down the long staircase to the Village Square. They hadn't been given any food or water while they had been contained in the dimly lit hall. Drago's men had been watching them carefully and the people were subdued and unable to fight back.

Drago's vast dragon army circled from above, mindless and ready to do as they were told. His armed men took control from the ground, leading the Berkians and threatening them with weapons. And his Bewilderbeast loomed over Berk menacingly, keeping an eye on Drago's commanding gestures. Drago had complete control.

Stoick and the rest of his group were dragged out of the house they had stayed in over night, squinting into the early morning light. They were exhausted and sore from their fitful rest and long day of battle and flying. Their hands were still bound, wrists stinging from the friction, and they were escorted each, by one of Drago's men. The people of Berk watched in dismay as the bedraggled leaders and their Dragon Riders, who they thought would save them, were marched out to stand before them.

"Where's Hiccup?" People started to whisper as they accounted for the ones who had left just over a day ago. Hiccup wasn't with them, although they had picked up a couple additional people along the way, it seemed. Was Hiccup okay? Was he being kept somewhere else? Had he returned with them? Was he still out there somewhere? Was there hope...?

"Quiet!" Drago shouted so he could be heard. Then he smirked slowly, he would enjoy telling them about Hiccup. "Your heir is dead. I killed him."

The people quieted for a moment, but at Drago's announcement, there was an uproar. Their heir couldn't be dead, not Hiccup. People were dismayed, in denial, and furious. Stoick hadn't spoken up to reassure them, he had looked down in what seemed to be mourning. What was that supposed to mean? Was Hiccup really dead? No one knew what to believe.

In the confusion and despair the morning had brought them, no one even paid Valka, the chief's supposedly dead wife, any mind. They were all too upset and angry about Hiccup possibly being dead, to notice or question it, or even take the time to try and recognize her.

"I said, quiet!" Drago commanded. He waved his bull hook and his alpha roared loudly, shooting ice around them that pierced more homes and structures. The people settled down out of fear, clustering near their loved ones. Though, the more stubborn ones muttered and huffed in indignation. "You can either join your heir in death, or join me and my cause."

Drago was confident that the majority of the people would join him. They would be fools to turn him down. He was offering them a chance to live, it was the best and only choice. However, a still silence fell over the crowd as Drago looked for any takers. No one spoke up, they all glared daggers at him. They would remain loyal to their chief, to their heir, to their home, and to their dragon companions. They stood for peace and for what was right, they had learned that from Hiccup, and if he really was dead, they would honor him by staying true to what he had taught them. They wouldn't give up their freedom so willingly.

"You would all rather die?" Drago asked them, somewhat incredulous and frustrated. "For what? A pathetic, weak boy who befriended the enemy?"

"Hiccup was never weak!"

"He showed us the truth!"

"He was a hero! We looked up to him."

"Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!" The chanting started out weak and soft, but then grew in volume as the people rallied, shouting the name of their heir and hero. Stoick was amazed by the response, and touched by their loyalty. He hadn't doubted his people, but he hadn't been aware of their fierce passion, and loyalty for his son. Stoick was disappointed in himself. He had been doubting Hiccup and tearing him down again. Hiccup hadn't deserved that. He had blamed his son for everything, and that hadn't been true.

Valka looked around at the crowd, full of both familiar and new faces, with wide and curious eyes. She was equally shocked and just as proud. Hiccup had the fierce loyalty of all of his people. He was loved and admired by them all. She really shouldn't be so surprised, she had seen, in her short time with Hiccup, his kind and caring heart. He was brave and compassionate, sincere and considerate. He was left behind... and torn down. She hadn't stood up for him and she felt ashamed, but the others believed in him and he really was their only hope at this point.

"Stop! Quiet!" Drago was struggling for control and it was making him furious. This was his victory. He was the one with all the power! He shouted commands, but his people were unable to settle down the crowd. The dragons circled uselessly without any direction and the Bewilderbeast wasn't willing to do anything unless his cruel master deemed it okay. It was complete chaos.

Finally fed up, Drago raged and waved his bull hook, no longer caring about controlling the people. They had clearly made their choice, so they would suffer the consequences. He signaled for his alpha to blast Berk and her people. He wanted them all dead.

Recognizing the signal, the alpha stood tall, blocking the sun's warm and comforting rays. He loomed threateningly over Berk, showing just how massive he was as his shadow stretched across the land. The people ducked their heads protectively, shielding each other as best they could with their bound hands. The chanting slowed and quieted, but stubbornly persisted as the corrupted Bewilderbeast drew back his head in preparation for its devastating attack. He drew air into his lungs, charging up his icy breath.

When the crescendoing charge seemed to reach its peak, the unified people of Berk were sure it was the end. Everyone held their breaths as they awaited the overwhelming chill and sting of the cold and ice, but it never came.

The Bewilderbeast let out a screech as its head flinched to the side, a vibrant blue explosion fading to nothing from the opposite side of its face. The giant dragon wobbled from its high perch and he slowly lowered himself back down as it tried to puzzle out what had happened.

Everyone paused, silent and hopeful. Awaiting the familiar and always welcome sound of the Night Fury's screech, indicating the timely arrival of their heroes. Drago's announcement of Hiccup's death was forgotten in favor of hope. They were not disappointed.

The Night Fury's screech echoed across the sky and a black dart dived down, another blast hitting the Bewilderbeast, causing it to roar in frustration.

"Take control of it!" Drago demanded, a flash of anger in his eyes. The Bewilderbeast straightened, recovering quickly from the blow to the head, and focused, but the Night Fury was fighting back against his will power.

Toothless faltered slightly and they wobbled in the air for a moment as they turned around after their second strike, circling back to Berk. Toothless shook his head and took a deep breath, the pull on his mind was strong.

"Hold on, Toothless. You can do this." Hiccup encouraged as he pet the top of the Night Fury's head. "Just focus on me and our flight."

Toothless did as he was told and focused completely on Hiccup. He could hear his friend's heartbeat, he could smell his scent, he sensed how Hiccup was feeling, and was aware of his every little movement. As Toothless focused, the Bewilderbeast's tug at his mind weakened until it was nothing.

Toothless and Hiccup swooped in toward the ground, the black dragon using his paws to swipe upon Hiccup's instruction, knocking Drago off his feet before shooting back up into the air, making a straight shot for the Bewilderbeast. Drago cried out in surprise as he fell hard and lost his grip on his weapon.

When the flying duo had neared the ground, everyone had gotten a good look at them as they passed, and they saw that Toothless was blindfolded. It seemed like an odd strategy, purposely giving themselves a handicap, but they had been flying perfectly in sync.

Valka was pretty sure she knew what they were doing. The whole reason that they had stayed behind was because they didn't want Toothless to be under control of the Bewilderbeast, and he wasn't. The Bewilderbeast hadn't been able to take control over Toothless this time. She had a guess that it had something to do with the blindfold.

At that moment a familiar croaking sound reached her ears and she turned her head to look behind her. It was the blind Hobblegrunt. He had found her by her familiar scent. He wasn't being controlled by the alpha either and that confirmed her suspicions about the blindfold. He must have arrived with Hiccup. The Hobblegrunt sniffed at her, wanting head scratches, and Valka raised her bound hands. The Hobblegrunt tilted his head and poked at her hands with his nose, then started chewing at the ropes. The others had noticed and shifted themselves to block Valka from view.

Drago quickly got back to his feet and retrieved his weapon, he was furious. His useless alpha wasn't taking control of the Night Fury like he had commanded it to do. Stoick had lied to him about Hiccup. Hiccup and Toothless were very much alive, and putting a dent in his plans. He shouted and waved his bull hook as the Bewilderbeast took a couple more hits, if his useless alpha couldn't get to the Night Fury, then maybe the dragon army could.

The alpha shook its head clear after taking more plasma blasts, and let out a frustrated groan. He watched the bull hook swing differently than before— each different movement a specific command. Recognizing the signal, he turned his gaze to the skies and took control of the dragons. They stopped circling overhead and instead made a beeline for Hiccup and Toothless who were going in for another attack.

"We're going to have to work together, Toothless." Hiccup warned his dragon companion whose ears were twitching at the sound of the incoming swarm of controlled dragons. Toothless snorted in confirmation, he was ready, he trusted Hiccup.

Hiccup took a deep breath as they were forced to fly off course from their attack of the Bewilderbeast and instead made a collision course for the giant flock of dragons. He clicked Toothless' prosthetic tail fin into a new position and prepared, Toothless adjusting accordingly.

The first dragon fired at them as they came closer and Hiccup and Toothless reacted together, successfully dipping down into a smooth barrel roll in order to dodge. They didn't want to hurt the innocent dragons and so, were on the defensive.

Dragons were everywhere, diving in, claws first, snapping with their teeth, swiping, and firing. But Hiccup and Toothless evaded it all impressively. They were completely in tune with one another and perfectly in sync. They were flying as one. It was amazing to witness the duo as they maneuvered together, one of the two blindfolded, and all the people were in awe by the spectacle.

"Get me up there!" Drago commanded impatiently from the ground. The Bewilderbeast left the flock to their task and turned his attention to his cruel master, he lowered one of his tusks to the ground so the man could climb aboard. The massive dragon then raised his head back up and joined in the attack against Hiccup and Toothless, but his icy breath was not a precision instrument, it was a vast blow that spread out over a distance. The icy attack knocked some of Drago's mind-controlled dragons from the sky and they were incapacitated.

The dragons dispersed as their self-preservation instincts kicked in, the connection between them and the alpha temporarily severed in their surprise. Drago was losing control again. If he wanted to win, he would have to take Hiccup out on his own.

As Hiccup and Toothless separated from the swarm of dragons and made a straight shot for the Bewilderbeast, Drago ran down the length of his dragon's tusk. When Hiccup and Toothless were close enough and he was about half-way down the tusk, he leapt.

Hiccup felt something massive slam into him from the side, pain searing through him at the sudden contact, and he lost control of Toothless. The Night Fury roared in surprise and fear as he spiraled and was separated from his rider. Toothless landed with a thud, and rolled, his blindfold coming loose and drifting away in the wind.

Hiccup landed on Drago before the two rolled and skidded to a halt, separately. Hiccup was dazed and winded, his vision black for a few seconds. He couldn't get up, his arms failing him as he tried. His vision was blurry and he felt pain everywhere. His prosthetic had been torn from its place in the stirrup of Toothless' flying rigging and was damaged. Even if Hiccup could get up, he would have a severe limp that would slow him significantly.

Toothless could see now and he could feel the overwhelming presence of the new alpha as it forced its way into his mind. Toothless shut his eyes, but it wasn't helping. He wasn't in that focused state of mind anymore, he was instead fearful and panicked. He was opening himself up and making himself vulnerable. He roared in confusion and frustration as he battled the alpha in his mind, stumbling everywhere and shaking his head. Things were going downhill for them, fast.

"You gave it your all. Your persistence was admirable, I'll give you that." Drago's arrogance returned and he kicked Hiccup back down as he tried to stand. Hiccup gave a little yelp and landed on all fours. "But this is over now, and you've lost."

Stoick and the others were struggling against their binds, Drago's men no longer paying them any mind. Valka had been set free and was frantically trying to release the others, but it would take too long. She gave up as she heard Hiccup cry out, halfway through the ropes that tied Stoick's wrists and hands together, and turned to the scene before her. Hiccup needed help and she was the only one free and close enough to assist.

"Go!" Stoick insisted with quiet urgency, and Valka ran. But she was too late.

Drago twirled his bull hook and pointed at Hiccup. The Bewilderbeast stopped trying to get Toothless to turn on his friend, the Night Fury stubbornly fighting back, and decided to do the deed himself. He readied his icy breath and shot at Hiccup.

Toothless had almost given in, the darkness creeping into the corners of his mind and taking over, but when he heard a yelp from his best friend, his kindred spirit, it awoke something in him. He would not allow for his Hiccup to be kicked around. How he knew what exactly was happening to Hiccup, he didn't know, his eyes were firmly pressed shut. But somehow, he knew exactly what Hiccup was going through and feeling, and it angered Toothless beyond reason.

He pushed back with all he had, successfully shoving the alpha out of his mind and freeing himself. As Toothless opened his eyes he knew it was too late. Hiccup was about to die encased in ice, right before him. All he could think to do was to shield his friend with his body, so he ran forward and dived, enveloping Hiccup in his protective hold at the very last second. Toothless felt an intense cold surround his body and overwhelm him before things went dark.

"No!" Valka shouted in despair as she finally reached her destination. She was too late, Hiccup and Toothless were gone. She fell to her knees and pounded on the ice with her fists with little vigor. There was nothing she could do, they really had lost. All hope was gone and Valka didn't feel anything but pure grief and overwhelming sadness. She let out a sob. "Hiccup..."

Stoick was stunned. Had he really just watched his son die? He couldn't think, he couldn't move, he could barely even breathe. This couldn't be happening. He hadn't even had the chance to ask Hiccup for forgiveness. His last words to him and been heated. Hiccup hadn't deserved that, he hadn't deserved to go out this way. He deserved so much more than to die as he came flying in to save them all from more of Stoick's mistakes.

Astrid let out a sob, a real one this time. Her lip was quivering and her eyebrows were drawn together in an expression of pure dismay. Hiccup had to be okay, he always made it out.

Gobber frowned, staring blankly ahead with watery eyes. He couldn't believe it, and neither could any of the other Dragon Riders. There were whispers of "No..." and mutual feelings of denial. Eret was saddened that he had just lost his new friend.

As everyone was shocked by what they had just seen, the realization that Hiccup had not made it this time starting to sink in, Drago chuckled to himself. He smiled in victory. He had won. Hiccup and the Night Fury had gone down for sure this time.

Toothless was cold and he sensed the incredibly strong feelings of fear and desperation from Hiccup. His friend was struggling for breath and succumbing to their situation. Toothless would not have that. He would not let his best friend and dear brother die. He felt that awakening power flowing though him again and went with it, allowing it to take over. His body's warmth was returning and overpowering the surrounding cold. He could feel himself starting to shake and saw as their little cocoon filled with a blue glow. He was going to save Hiccup and take down the alpha for good.

The high pitched, iconic sound of the Night Fury broke though everyone's grief and mourning and they looked at the chunk of ice in surprise and curiosity. It was beginning to glow a bright blue from deep within, and the sound was building.

Valka gasped and fled, knowing what soon might happen. She just managed to retreat a safe distance away and cover her face with her arms when an explosion sounded from behind her. She finally dared look back and was overwhelmed with feelings of relief and gratitude at the sight before her.

The ice exploded, sending little pieces and chunks flying in all directions. People ducked down and gasped. When they looked back, it was to see Toothless standing at the center of the explosion, his back and forehead glowing blue, a furious and determined expression on his face, looking as formidable as ever. He stood protectively over the crouched form of Hiccup, who watched his dragon in gratitude and awe.

Drago took a few steps back in fear, retreating closer to his Bewilderbeast. "What are you waiting for?!" He shouted to the giant dragon. The Bewilderbeast prepared to shoot his ice again, however, Toothless roared loudly and pounced forward, landing on a spike of ice. He shot a plasma blast at the Bewilderbeast before it had a chance to fire. It tried to attack again, but Toothless wouldn't give it that chance. The alpha's control was slipping, he was unable to keep his hold on all of the dragons. Slowly, he lost his control and the dragons shook their heads as they came to and found themselves free. Toothless roared to get their attention and they all backed him, joining his side and firing at the Bewilderbeast.

Valka ran up to Hiccup and helped him to his feet, one of which was a damaged prosthetic. She wrapped him in her arms and held him tightly to her. She had thought she had lost her son for good.

"Are you alright?" She whispered.

Hiccup held her back and nodded his affirmative answer. He was mostly focused on Toothless, but was grateful for the comforting hold from his mother. She released Hiccup as Toothless jumped back, nearer to them. The alpha had shattered the ice he had been standing on by swinging one of his tusks into it. Toothless roared loudly and ferociously, firing again.

"He's protecting you." Valka observed.

Leaving his mother's side, Hiccup limped to Toothless, wanting to aid his friend as best he could. The Night Fury was completely aware of his rider's proximity to him and welcomed it. Before mounting his dragon, Hiccup opened the saddlebag on Toothless' side and pulled out his spare prosthetic, quickly switching his damaged one, for the new one.

Together again, they soared up to another spike of ice and landed, gaining higher ground. The Bewilderbeast was getting very fed up at this point and reared back for a devastating and final blow, but as he came back down Toothless charged up the most powerful plasma blast he had ever fired, and sent it right into the Bewilderbeast's tusk.

The great beast was rattled and he felt his entire skull shake with the blast before his tusk cracked and fell to the ground in a massive crash. He lowered himself back down, suddenly very fearful and subdued. He did not want to contend with the Night Fury any longer.

"What are you doing?! Fight back you cowardly, useless beast!" Drago climbed onto the Bewilderbeast's lone tusk that was low enough for him reach, but went ignored.

Toothless snorted and let out his loudest roar yet. He was the victor, he had control. He used his newly found, awakened power to do something he didn't even know he could do— aside from all the other things he hadn't known he could do either. He pushed back against the giant dragon's mind. This time is was Toothless who was the one entering the mind of the Bewilderbeast, and it completely gave in. 'Take this filth with you and leave Berk! Don't you ever return!'

The Bewilderbeast bowed his head and quickly retreated, diving for the water, Drago crying out in protest. They disappeared beneath the surface of the water and didn't reappear.

Hiccup pet the top of Toothless' head, effectively grounding him and comforting him, then indicated that he wanted to turn around and join his people, so the Night Fury obliged. They turned around and expertly landed on the ground in front of the mass of gathered people. Drago's men were still amongst them, but they had dropped their weapons and raised their hands in surrender as all the dragons landed on Berk.

Hiccup and Toothless looked at each other and nodded, both coming to the same conclusion. Toothless' forehead began to glow blue once more and he roared loudly. 'Chase them to their ships and run them out of Berk!'

The massive flock of dragons obeyed, but not because they were forced to, although Toothless had relayed the order through their minds, they obeyed because they respected the Night Fury and were grateful to him for saving them from the Bewilderbeast's control.

Some of the dragons took flight, others choosing to surround the scattered, former warriors of Drago's army, from the ground. The enemy warriors cried out in fear and ran as the dragons herded and directed them back to their ships where they prepared to set sail.

Hiccup and Toothless watched as the dragons ran their enemies off of Berk, they seemed to have it handled and Drago's men didn't seem to care to stick around now that their boss was no longer there. Hiccup looked around and saw his mother as she finished releasing Stoick from his bonds. The majority of Berk's population had had their hands tied and he figure that he should help to free them.

"Hiccup, are you alright?" Stoick asked as Hiccup pulled out his dagger and started cutting through Astrid's restraints. "You took quite the hit."

"I'm fine." Hiccup didn't look up from what he was doing and soon had Astrid free. He honestly didn't feel terrible, though he knew he would have plenty of bruises. Stoick made a concerned face, never believing it to be true when Hiccup said he was "fine." However, Hiccup seemed okay in the moment and the chief needed to help his people.

As more and more people were released, the task went by quicker with more people able to help out. The Hooligan Tribe continued to release each other from their binds and make sure that everyone was okay. Parents held their children, couples found each other, family and friends checked on one another. There didn't seem to be any major injuries.

It wasn't long after that when the dragons returned. Berk's dragons, Valka's nest-dragons, and Drago's dragons, who were much more timid now that they were free and no longer subdued. All were welcomed with open arms.

Everyone cheered as they reunited with their dragon companions. The Vikings were all very happy to see their dragons being themselves again, no longer controlled by Drago's Bewilderbeast, and as they pet and hugged their reptilian friends, Cloudjumper landed in front of Toothless.

All attention turned to the two dragons, standing face-to-face in a small clearing in the middle of everyone. The Night Fury wasn't entirely sure what to do. He felt like all he had managed to do was annoy the mighty Stormcutter, the entire time Hiccup and his mom had been bonding. However, Valka's dragon surprised him as he bowed, accepting Toothless as his new alpha. The other dragons followed suit and bowed down as well. After a moment of surprise and hesitation, Toothless raised his head proudly before roaring loudly, the others joining in.

Once the dragons had settled down a little, Hiccup walked up to Toothless' side with a friendly smile. He was very proud of his friend, and incredibly grateful. Neither realized that they still had everyone's attention. "You really are something, Toothless. You never cease to amaze me." They brought their foreheads together and closed their eyes, having a respectful, little moment. "Thank you."

Then, suddenly, Toothless licked Hiccup, knocking him to the ground. "Ah! Toothless!" Toothless licked him again and the people laughed at their antics. "You know that doesn't wash out."

Toothless finally relented and gave his odd dragon laugh as Hiccup picked himself off of the ground just to stumble back again as Astrid collided with him.

"Gods, I thought I'd lost you..." She held onto him tightly, the thought of having lost him unbearable. Her hand was in his hair, holding his head against the side of hers, her other arm around him and pressing against his back so that he was firmly against her.

After a moment of surprise, Hiccup hugged her back, loving the warmth and comfort he felt at her embrace. They held onto each other, perhaps a little longer than they should have with so many people watching, but they both needed it. Astrid eventually pulled back, but then immediately went in for a kiss. Her hands moved to either side of Hiccup's face.

At that point, the people decided it was their duty to start teasing the young couple, and they started whistling and cat calling in good fun. That was when Astrid decided it was time to release Hiccup, who stared back at her lovingly.

"Let's hear it for Hiccup, the Pride of Berk!" Stoick finally had the chance to approach his son and the people cheered at his words. "And for Toothless, Berk's Loyal Protector!"

There were lots of congratulations and expressions of gratitude. Stoick was barely able to have the moment of privacy with his son that he desired, and he was unable to make amends. He managed to give Hiccup a quick hug and express his love before he was pushed to the side so his people could thank his son and Toothless.

It was still morning and the sun shined brightly over Berk, despite the contrasting mounds of ice. They all had a lot of work to do before the day was over and they could celebrate their victory. It was best if they got started as soon as they could.

A/N: Cheesy ending to the chapter, I know, but so is the ending of HTTYD2! So now we're all caught up with the second movie. From here things will happen very differently! There are plenty more chapters to come and I hope everyone continues to read and enjoy!

Thanks for reading, commenting, favoriting, and following!

Review Responses:

HowlingLeo: Thanks for the review, I hope this lived up to your expectations!

R37uy: Thanks! I wanted to stay true to HTTYD2 while also changing things to fit with Stoick surviving. I love the second movie, but wish things had gone a little differently.

NightFuryFanfic: Thank you!

Vanpelt: Hello! Thanks for another review! I agree— Stoick, Valka, and pretty much everyone on Berk have wronged Hiccup, and they never really address how all that affected him. Hiccup forgave them all so easily. Perhaps he was just so eager to be accepted? Anyway, I think you will like what is coming up in my story! Lots of angst and familial drama. And thank you so much, I put a lot of thought into what I write.

ThomasTheHuman: Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the story! Haha, yeah, it occurred to me that the blind Hobblegrunt would be a good way to give Hiccup the idea. Hiccup blindfolds Toothless in the movie, but they didn't really lean into that concept. I hope you liked the chapter and will stick around for what's to come.
