68% A New Life In How To Train Your Dragon / Chapter 17: The Red Death

Kapitel 17: The Red Death

Hey guys sorry for not posting an actual chapter for a while, I've been busy. I'll try to post every few days, but no promises. Also, I went back and changed some stuff for both Skrill parts and the beginning part of Bonding With Dragons, just so it'd be more believable I guess. Anyway glad to see many people voting on the poll. If your pick doesn't win that's fine. It doesn't mean I won't make it in the future. I'll give y'all a few more days to vote on which fanfic you want next. Ok enough rambling on, enjoy the chapter, and remember to leave a review and give stones.

____________________________________________________________________________

The whole village prepared for war, Vikings carried stockpiles of weapons and supplies, tossing them into boats as they began preparations for their assault on the dragon's nest. They carried a bound Toothless to a boat securing him onto a wooden platform, chaining him, and putting a clamp on his head before using a crane to lift the dragon onto the boat.

"Set Sail! We head for Helhiem's Gate." Stoick shouted as he commanded his army to move. Looking back he saw Hicca and Eugene looking over the docks as they watched them depart. He could solemnly turn away from them, giving a heavy sigh before looking at Toothless. "Lead us home, devil."

Hicca continued to watch as they sailed until they were out of sight, Eugene sitting beside her as they gazed in the direction they sailed in.

"This is all my fault..." Hicca said solemnly, blaming herself for their current situation.

"No, it isn't." Eugene told her, glancing up at her as he leaned back, his legs dangling over the edge of the wooden platform they were on.

"But it is! None of this would have happened if I just killed that dragon!" She yelled, clenching her fist in frustration.

"You can't change what's already happened, but you can dang sure stop what will happen. Come on, we got work to do, and fast." Eugene said as he stood up, both of them racing off toward the arena.

"Listen, Stoick, I overheard some of the men talking and, well, some of them are wondering what it is we're up to here… not me of course, I know you're always the man with the plan, but some, not me, are wondering if there is in fact a plan at all, and what it might be?" Gobber asked as he walked up to Stoick.

"We find the nest and destroy it." Stoick stated.

"Ah. Of course. Send them running. The old Viking fallback. Nice and simple."

 "Shhh." Stoick stopped him from talking as he looked at Toothless, his ears twitching at the sound of chirping. "Step aside." He said moving the Viking who stirred the ship away.

Toothless moved his head in the direction of the noise, Stoick following his head movements began stirring the ship to match.

"Not even going to lie here... I thought you had a better idea in mind." I say, deadpanning as me and Hicca stood in front of a cage.

"I never said it was a good idea…" She told me shrugging her shoulders. Before we could get on with her plan we heard a voice call out to us.

"If you guys are planning on getting eaten, I would definitely go with the Gronckle."

Turning around we see all the other teens walking up to us.

"Well, this makes things a lot easier doesn't it." I said, nudging Hicca's shoulder.

"Yes, yes it does."

Stoick and the rest of the Vikings continued to sail through the mist-covered waters where they saw signs that they were nearing their final destination.

"Oh… I was wondering where that went." Gobber chuckled slightly.

Upon reaching land, Toothless began thrashing wildly straining to break free from his bonds. The chirping, and growls around the Vikings grew louder and louder before silencing upon Stoick's feet hitting the gravel.

I watched as Hicca led a Monstrous Nightmare out of its cage, guiding it toward Snotlout. He looked terrified, I'd be lying if I didn't think it was a little funny, but I understood it a little bit. Hicca, stopping in front of Snotlout, grabbed his arm before guiding it toward the dragon's snout. He flinched a few times before finally relaxing, gaining a smile on his face.

"Hey! Where are you going?" He shouted as Hicca walked toward a pile of weapons, and pulled out some rope.

"You're gonna want something to hold onto right?" She said smirking as the teens looked over at three other dragons.

"You guys go first I need to go get Indra. I'll meet you there." I told Hicca and the others. Giving a nod at my words I dashed out of the arena before running toward the forest.

Stakes were stabbed into the ground, Vikings had their weapons drawn, and catapults were set up outside the dragon's nest, as Stoick was ready to give the command to attack.

"When we crack this mountain open, all hell is going to break loose. No matter how this ends, it ends today." He stated as he gave the signal to fire the catapults. Firing the catapults, they broke a hole into the side of the mountain. 

Standing at the opening of the hole Stoick gives another signal to one of the catapults, who fires a flaming ball of straw revealing hundreds maybe even thousands of dragons inside. Hollering, Stoick charges in as all the Vikings try to attack the fleeing dragons. 

"Is that really it?" Gobber asked in confusion before shrugging and walking away. 

Shouts of victory erupted from the Vikings as they celebrated their triumph. Stoick looking around satisfied stopped in his tracks, as he glanced at Toothless the dragon struggled to free himself as he tried to flee.

"It's not over yet! Get back in formation!" He shouted as the ground beneath them began to crack as a roar emanated from inside the mountain. 

"Get clear!" Stoick screamed as he quickly jumped down, a giant head coming out from the hole and growling at them all.

"What is that?!" Gobber shouted as the massive dragon began emerging from the mountainside, crumbling it as the Viking army ran for safety. Finally freed from its rocky prison it began to move toward them roaring at the intruders that dared to set foot upon its island.

"Catapults!" Stoick yelled, ordering his men to fire at the massive beast, and yet it did not deter the massive creature, only furthering its anger as it crushed the weapons in its jaws.

"Get to the ships!" One of the Vikings screamed as they all rushed to escape the behemoth behind them.

"No! No~!" Stoick yelled, but he was too late to warn them as the dragon fired a stream of fire incinerating those who were on the boats and burning everything in its path. 

"I was a fool. Lead the men to the far side of the island. Gobber, go with them."

"No, I think that I'll stay, in case you're thinking of something insane."

"I at best give them a few minutes if I give that thing something to hunt."

Grabbing his arm Gobber grasped his hand, "Then I can double that time." Grinning at each other they dashed at the beast shouting and waving at it to gain its attention, as Stoick hurls a spike at it.

"Come on! Here I am!"

"No! Over here!"

The dragon reared back, preparing to bury them under flames. Right as it was about to fire a blast of fire hit it in the head, distracting it from them as it roared in rage. Looking up they see the teens riding dragons.

"Alright guys this is it! Fishlegs break it down!" Hicca shouted as they circled the beast.

"Uh, okay! Heavily armored skull and tail made for bashing and crushing! Steer clear of both! Small eyes, large nostrils! Relies on hearing and smell!"

"Alright! Snotlout, Fishlegs, see if you can't find a blind spot! Make some noise, keep it confused! Ruff, Tuff, see if it has any shot limit! Make it angry!" Hicca told them.

"We're on it!"

"Yeah, we got it covered!"

Splitting off from each other Hicca and Astrid circle the burning boats searching for Toothless. Hearing a roar they descend toward where he's chained as Hicca jumps onto the boat.

"Go help the others!" She shouts at Astrid, as she attempts to free Toothless.

As the other teens fought the enormous dragon, they tried the best they could to distract it. Snotlout, who jumped onto the dragon's head started hitting it in the eyes with a hammer. 

Shouting in pain the dragon shook its head, attempting to get rid of the nuisance. Swishing its body to the side, its tail rammed into the boats, crushing most of them. Before Hicca could free Toothless a mast of a ship crashed into the ship sending Toothless and her into the sea.

As Toothless sank Hicca swam after him desperately trying to free him. Unable to hold her breath any longer, her grip loosened as her vision blurred, suddenly she felt herself being dragged out of the water and onto land. Coughing she looked back at the water as she saw a familiar figure diving back in.

"Dad?"

Stoick swam to Toothless, staring at him for a moment before grabbing hold of his shackles and splitting them. Toothless, staring at him, grabbed him as he flew out of the water dropping him on the ground before motioning Hicca to get on his back.

"You got it bud." She said as she ran toward him before strapping herself on. 

"Hicca!" Stoick shouted, grabbing her arm. "I'm sorry... for everything."

"Yeah, me too."

"You don't have to go up there."

"And watch as you all die? Sorry Dad, but this is something I have to do."

"I'm proud to call you my daughter."

Letting go of her hand, Stoick backed away from her. Just as Toothless was about to take off she looked up as the already black skies darkened further, the sounds of thunder ringing through the air. Smiling to herself Hicca and Toothless flew up in the air.

"She's up! Get Snotlout out of there!" Astrid shouted to the twins. Grabbing Snotlout they all began flying away from the dragon, before it began sucking in the air creating a vacuum effect, dragging Astrid and her dragon toward its mouth. Just then a loud crack was heard and a bolt of lightning hit the dragon, freeing Astrid but also making her fall off her own dragon.

"Toothless catch her!" Hicca shouted. Toothless growling in understanding flew with incredible speed, toward Astrid. "Did you get her?" She asked him. Looking down, Toothless smiled at Astrid before dropping her off on the ground and going back into the fight.

"That thing has wings. Let's see if it can use 'em!" She said as she turned Toothless around, diving toward the dragon as Toothless fired a plasma blast at it. "You think that did it?" She asked Toothless, right as the large beast flew up behind her, roaring in anger. "I'll take that as a yes…"

Flying between sea stacks the giant beast pursued them, crashing and knocking over everything in its path as it tried to catch them. Looking up Hicca saw a purple glow in the sky.

"Alright Toothless, fly to the light!" She said as they began flying upward the large dragon roared in rage shooting flames at them.

As they dodged the flames and continued their ascent toward the purple light. A bolt of lightning flew by them hitting the beast giving them a chance to gain some distance. Finally reaching the light they saw Eugene sitting cross-legged on Indra.

"Yo~, nice of you to join us. You can cut off the lights now Indra." Eugene said, waving and grinning at them.

"Would've been nice if you joined us sooner. Would it not?" Hicca said glaring at him.

"I did join… Kind of. I just wasn't in view." He said as Hicca huffed in annoyance.

"Whatever that thing is about to reach us, let's give it a taste of plasma and lightning."

"Read my mind." 

Splitting up, the dragon emerges from below, looking for them before it is suddenly hit from both sides by lightning and plasma. Roaring in pain it looks around trying to find where it was being attacked from. The barrage of blasts continued as it roared in annoyance, firing streams of fire wildly into the clouds hoping to hit whatever.

"Watch out!" Hicca shouted at Toothless. He dodges the flames but is unable to save his prosthetic fin as it begins burning up. "Shoot!" She shouted as Toothless began to lose control.

"Hicca, I'll handle this fallback!" Eugene yelled as he and Indra circled the dragon, firing blasts of lightning at it to gain its attention.

"You better not get yourself killed, or I'll be very upset!" She shouted at him as she and Toothless dove back down to the ground.

"Alright Indra, let's go!" He said as the dragon roared at them. "Come on, is that the best you can do?!" He taunted the beast. "Man, I hope this works like how it should." Diving the dragon followed them toward the ground before preparing to fire at them.

"Not yet, bud just wait." Eugene told Indra. Just as the dragon was about to fire Eugene shouted, "Now!" Spinning around Indra blasted a concentrated bolt of purple lightning at the dragon's mouth setting it ablaze.

Approaching the ground quickly the dragon's eyes widened as it attempted to spread its wings to slow its fall. Unfortunately for it, the blasts that it had taken shredded its wings, so when it opened them it inevitably tore them even more. 

"See ya never ya big ugly lizard!" Eugene shouted as Indra spread his own wings flying out of the way of the descending beast. Unable to stop the dragon crashes into the ground head first as it begins imploding. Flying down Eugene joins the rest of the Vikings as they begin cheering for him.

"You did it Eugene!" Hicca said, hugging him before realizing what she was doing and quickly letting go. "We're all proud of you."

"Yeah well glad you guys held it off till I arrived, but I'm sure you guys could've handled it, even without me. Come on, let's head back home."
