The battle
Hiccup and Toothless have just flown over small town called Berk as they made sure to fly high enough so they couldn't be seen or shot down and were nearing Hellheim's Gate and started leading the ships towards the shore.
Hiccup was in deep though and sighed as they kept flying.
"Toothless, I want to tell you that no matter of the outcome of the battle, you'll always be my brother," said Hiccup and patted the Night Fury on the head.
"You'll always be my brother as well. I just hope we get out of this alive," said Toothless.
Hiccup smiled and leaned forward to give his dragon a gentle hug.
Toothless purred before he tensed up, his ear plates stood on end and dove into the cloud cover.
"And thank you, Heather, for being here." Hiccup tells her.
"I'm sorry for lying to you, Hiccup. About my past and why I was on your island." Heather kept apologizing.
"Heather, I don't blame you. After this is over and done with, I promise you, we will find a way to rescue your parents." Hiccup promises her and Heather smiles by how kind he is, even when he has every reason not to be.
They make it to solid land where Throk leads the men out.
"Be ready, men. We don't know what we're facing." Throk warns them. "It's up to you now, Hiccup."
Hiccup and Toothless fly inside the volcano as Heather waits outside with Windshear.
Toothless turned turned to Hiccup. "Still wanna fight her?"
"Of course I do! Only you and I can stop her," Hiccup whispered as Toothless nodded. "Let's draw her attention."
Toothless spread his wings and flew before roaring at the huge dragon.
"Hey, overgrown sausage! Your reign of terror is over!" shouted Toothless.
Most of the smaller dragons stared at the Night Fury in shock.
Why would he do something crazy?
That's when they spotted the human on the dragon's back. They couldn't believe it! No one has ever lived after an encounter with a Night Fury, yet this boy was riding one.
"How dare you turn against your Queen," dared the Red Death and Hiccup understood what she said due to his ability to understand what all dragons say.
"Just because you're a Queen doesn't mean you're tough," shouted Hiccup and the Red Death looked at him.
"So you brought a human with you," asked the Red Death when she looked at Toothless. "Very well, I'm satisfied."
"Not in million years! I won't let you hurt a hair on my brother! Together we'll bring you down." Toothless promised , much to the shock of the other dragons.
"You heard what he said. Show us just how tough you really are," challenged Hiccup and Red Death growled.
"If you wanna fight, you got one," roared the Red Death and she charged at Hiccup and Toothless.
Toothless flew out of the way of her jaws and went through the tunnel they came in with the Red Death right behind them. They flew out of the volcano, but the Red Death didn't stop her chasing and when she got outside, there was a huge hole into the volcano with all the dragons flying away.
The battle against the Red Death was now outside the nest!
The Defenders and Throk were shocked to see the size of the dragon and started using their weapons to stop it, but it was useless.
Behind Heather, she heard a rushing sound, then a roaring blast that sounded like a thunder strike at close range.
All the dragons were in a line, and the titan had breathed fire in the hope of roasting them all with one shot. They all dodged it, but Heather was closest to the monster and had the least time to dodge. It threw itself frantically through the air, barely escaping the pillar of flame...and tossing its rider off its back. She flew through the air and plunged downward hopelessly.
'This is how the gods judge me for the life I've lived,' was all she had time to think as she fell...and then her fall ended with a jerk. She found herself hanging upside down under Toothless as he clutched onto her boots with his paw. She heard Hiccup's voice, full of concern.
"Did you get her?" Hiccup asks as the dragon looked under himself and smiled at her.
She managed a pale grin and a wave.
"I got her." Toothless responds and swooped toward the ground, tossed her right-side-up, and set her down back on her dragon.
Toothless flies back up and then swoops down at full speed and shoots the Red Death with a Plasma Blast, which slightly dazes the huge dragon.
"That thing has wings. Okay, let's see if she can use them," said Hiccup and looked at Heather flying next to him. "You ready for this, brother?"
"Let's bring her down." Toothless responds and they flew upwards once again.
The Red Death recovered from the Plasma Blast, only to see Toothless firing another Plasma Blast at her to bring her down on the ground.
"You think that did it?" Hiccup asked his Night Fury.
"I kinda doubt it." Toothless said.
A second later, the Red Death got back up to her feet and unfolded her huge wings and flew after Hiccup and Toothless.
"Well, she can fly." Hiccup said and Toothless snorted.
Hiccup and Toothless maneuvered around the sea stacks as to try to make the Red Death follow them, but she only smashed right through the sea stacks. Hiccup then looked at the clouds above them and came up with another idea.
"Okay, Toothless, time to disappear," said Hiccup and Toothless flew towards the clouds.
The Red Death followed the duo upwards and inhaled before unleashed a huge steam of flames, which Hiccup and Toothless avoided. They got into the clouds and she lost a track of the Night Fury.
The queen looks around for them and can't see them.
Hiccup and Toothless start blasting it from the sky, staying clear of its six eyes as the Red Death starts shooting fire everywhere out of anger.
"Watch out!" Hiccup yells as they avoid the flames as the Red Death tries stopping them.
"Hiccup, remember what we learned about dragons not being fireproof inside?" Toothless asks Hiccup.
"Yeah?" Hiccup says, wondering why he's bringing that up and then puts together what he's thinking. "That is a crazy idea...let's hope this works." He tells Toothless as they fly towards the Red Death and bast it again and it sees them and starts chasing them downward.
It starts gaining on them and the brothers plummet as fast as they can.
"Just hold on, bud. Stay with me." Hiccup says as they wait for the right moment as they come closer to the ground and the Red Death gets ready to strike. "Now!" He yells as Toothless flips around and blasts into the queen's mouth.
The queen then begins to fall fast into the ground and Toothless flies high away.
Hiccup and Toothless barely managed to avoid the flames but they were too focused on the incoming fire that they nearly forgot about the tail. Hiccup glanced up and saw the tail heading their way.
"No. No!" Hiccup screamed as the Red Death's tail smashed right into them, throwing Hiccup off the saddle and down into the flames. "Toothless!"
"I'm coming!" Toothless shouted as he dove after Hiccup and protected him with his wings right before the flames reached them.
Ashes were falling everywhere as everyone was searches for Hiccup through the smoke and fog.
"Look over there," someone shouted and gestured to the black silhouette.
Throk and Heather gasped and ran towards the black figure, which very well was Toothless.
The Night Fury was lying motionless on the ground. When they got to him, Heather saw that the saddle was empty and burned. She fell on her knees and put a hand on the dragon's snout and broke down in tears.
A few seconds later, Toothless' head moved and slowly opened his eyes. He looked up and saw Throk and Heather crying and felt bad for them. He softly crooned, gaining her attention. Throk looked at the Night Fury with a sad expression, his eyes red from crying just as much as Heather's.
"Oh, Toothless." Heather said softly and buried her head into the dragon's neck, and started crying once again. "He's gone." She felt Toothless shaking his head, pulling away from her. The Night Fury opened his wings, revealing Hiccup in his paws.
Throk quickly pulled Hiccup into a hug and placed his ear over his chest, and felt a heartbeat.
"He's alive!" Throk cheered quietly and his eyes were immediately filled with tears of joy as the soldiers cheered, and Throk looked at Toothless. "You brought him back alive!"
"Well..." Heather gestured to Hiccup's foot that Throk didn't notice.
