Chapter 18

Toothless:

No... he thought as he saw the Bewilderbeast crumble to the ground. Almost immediately, he heard the summons of his new master and started shaking his head, no, NO! You will NOT... CONTROL... ME!!!

Toothless roared and started to shake rapidly as he tried to fight the giant dragon trying to control his mind. "Hey bud! Watch out! Ground!" Upon hearing his best friend's voice, he had a momentary minute of clearness. He was able to land safely and allow Hiccup to dismount before it started again. Toothless roared and clawed the ground as he tried desperately to resist.

You cannot resist long little dragon, the voice of the Bewilderbeast crooned in his mind, my master might be dead, but I still abide by his last wish. To destroy all vikings who have laughed at him, branded him an outcast. Have your human and yourself join me. He also was abandoned wasn't he? Didn't all these people laugh at him? Torment him? Hate him? We can teach them ALL a lesson!

"Toothless?" Hiccup's voice called out. Toothless saw only the blurry outline of his friend through the red haze over his eyes.

Little dragon? Come with us!

"Toothless, stay with me."

Little dragon!?

"Bud?"

Join us!

"Bud, come back to me."

Toothless started to calm down and block out the sound of the Bewilderbeast's calls. Night Fury! The alpha calls, but Toothless ignored him. He concentrated on Hiccup's voice and face. "Yes bud, thats right. Good boy, come on Toothless. You are stronger than him, I know it!" Hiccup continued in a soothing voice. Toothless continued to listen, drawn to his best friend's voice. His vision started to clear and the last thing he heard from the alpha was a faint NO!

"YES! There you are-", Hiccup wasn't able to finish, for he was blasted with ice causing Toothless to roar in terror.

Stoick:

Skullcrusher started acting funny, but he tried holding out until they made it to Toothless. Just as they landed, Skullcrusher finally let the Bewilderbeast take over and he, along with all the others flew towards the alpha. Drago, I swear-

Just then he heard a roar and saw Toothless freaking out and Hiccup trying to call him. Stoick immediately glanced around, looking for something, anything, just in case he needed to put the dragon down. He found an axe next to his... his fallen brother. Spitlout laid peacefully on the floor, his eyes looking at the clouds above. Stoick turned and saw that his brother's axe was embedded into an opponent's belly. Years stung his eyes as he knelt down and closed his eyes. 'May you make it to Valhalla safely brother', he whispered as he biwed his head. A single tear streaking down the chief's face as he glanced back up at his son and his dragon.

The night fury was calmer, and Hiccup seemed to be speaking to him. Come on Toothless! Come on! Stoick silently cheerd. He still grabbed the axe, just in case. He rubbed the blade gently as he sighed in pure misery, but he couldn't let his brother's death haunt his mind at this moment. He needed to save his son. He didn't see Gobber after battling Drago, but he knew he would be fine. Gobber is as stubborn as myself, he thought with a chuckle.

"YES!-", he heard his son yell, but the rest of his words where whisked away by the ear splitting roar the alpha let out. "NO!" Stoick heard behind him causing him to turn and see Valka running his way dragging an unconscious Astrid behind her. "The alpha! He-", she pointed and just as Stoick looked, he saw as his son was incased in ice.

"HICCUP!

"M.... my son...."

Toothless POV:

I roared as I dug my claws into the ice incasing my best friend. I started shooting plasma at it but I started to fear the worse. "Uncle Tooooooooothleeeeeeeeesssssss"  I heard and immediately perked up. I glanced at the sky and saw a sight that brought tears of joy to my eyes. Five scuttleclaws lead by a certain pink one came down and all turned to Hiccup. (A/N: Wanted to end it here but too short...)The pink one charged me and lept upon my back and nuzzled into my shoulders, "Lucky! We thought you left when we freed your brothers!" I said, my roar cracking as he was such a sight for soar eyes.

"I kbow, I missed you two too. But right now is not the time for catching up! We will free Hiccup, you take care of him-", he said, flicking his tail towards the Alpha. "But... how?" I asked with puzzlement.

"You resisted him, so that means you are mentally stronger than him. Anyone can be an Alpha if they can resist one. Challenge him, do it for all of us... and him", Lucky said as he looked towards the scuttleclaws and how their fire was nearly to Hiccup.

"He will be fine, now GO!"

Toothless nodded and ran towards the alpha. His mind raced with everything that made him angery. Hiccup's banishment, his tortures, him losing his leg, the death of the alpha, he suddenly felt a surge of anger and power he placed everything in his roar of challenge.

Astrid:

She woke up grogily to find a horrific sight. She saw five scuttleclaws frantically trying to melt a block of ice. Upon closer inspection, she realized that Hiccup was within the block of ice. "HICCUP!!!" She screamed as she subconsciously pushed Valka away from her and started running, however; the moment her left foot hit the ground, it twisted in an odd angle causing her to fall with a scream of pain. She heard ither calls and turned to her left. Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins where all stopped dead as they saw the sight. Hiw long was ge like that? Seconds? Minutes? Hours? She didn't know.

After the death of the good alpha, Stormfly and the other dragons started acting strangely. Storm threw Astrid off her and knocked her out with her tail. She assumed that she fell on her feet and was lucky enough to only break her foot. She started crying, not knowing what else to do. She didn't know if Hiccup was dead or what, she just knew that he would be if he wasn't already.

Then, she heard an earpiecing roar. She turned and saw Toothless, standing on a boulder, flairing his wings and.... glowing? Blue markings where throughout his body and she just stared at the small night fury as he challenged the giant dragon. The alpha seemed to laugh, but quickly stopped the moment Toothless let out the biggest plasma blast she has ever seen. The blast took off one of the dragon's tusks and the alpha stared at Toothless wide eyed. The dragon humped up and slammed his front feet onto the boulder once more and roared again. The alpha didn't back down, so Toothless shot another blast, this time into his eye. He repeated this spectical a few more times, she counting down his shot limits with each tim the alpha still challenged, but she saw him getting more and more exhausted and knew that he will give in eventually.

Astrid was so engrossed in the scene, she didn't notice that Lucky had come to comfort her until she felt a scaley nose nuzzle her hand. She saw the pink scales and the giant purple eyes and nearly lept at the small dragon she knew all too well. "LUCKY!!!" She sequeled with delight as she squeezed the little dragon. The scuttleclaw purred at her affections. She started to tear up, causing the little dragon to nuzzle her hand. She then glanced at Hiccup again and saw that he was free, and the small dragons where all sitting on him, stomachs down and wings spread. They are sharing their heat with him to save him! She realized with shock and awe. Lucky started getting up under Astrid, at first, she didn't know what the peculiar little dragon was doing, then she realized he wanted her to ride him. So, she helped seat herself upon his back. The little dragon then ran towards Hiccup, bringing the rider's wife to ne with him.

Toothless's Pov:

I was deffinatly winning, the dragon was injured beyond recognition. He stared at me with pure fear etched on his face, huffing heavily and wheezing as blood trickled down the his eyes for he was now blind in both. I stomped my front legs and roared, "ARE YOU READY TO BOW DIWN TO YOUR NEW ALPHA!!!" I didn't want the title, but I was beyond angery. He hurt and possibly killed my best friend, he killed my alpha, and he still has the audacity to follow his dead master's evil wishes.

He needs to pay, he needs to die.

He didn't even say anything, he just bowed his head in submission. I was about to order himself to kill himself when I stopped. I couldn't, I wouldn't be any better than him and his master. So instead, I growled, "leave, and never return." He nodded and dove into the sea. The newly freed dragons cheered my name but I ignored them. My primary concern, was my best friend. I turned and saw his mate on Lucky, in a daze as he closed the distance. I also saw as his parents and friends started running towards him, and I knew that he needed me. So I junped off the boulder I was on and glided as much as my bad tail could let me until I was the first to land by his side. Astrid was second and his parents where last... wait! Gobber and the rest if the village where running their direction from the opposite side of the island. So yah, they are last... obviously.

Stoick POV:

I immediately pushed my way past the teens and Astrid to the front, my back was killing me but I ignored it. I knelt next to my son and stared into his pale face. Fear gripped me as I saw my son's face, I could have sworen he was dead. I touched his face, as a tear fell from mine. "H-Hiccup?" I called, his face was cold and I couldn't stop shaking. The pink scuttleclaw that I think Astrid and Hiccup called 'Lucky', came up to me and grabbed my hnad with his tail. I stared at it's intelligent eyes, which shocked me. I saw Toothless's, but I never expected another dragon to have that same look, but this dragon did. He moved my tail to his heart and stared at me expectingly. It took me a while, but I realized what he wanted me to do. I laid my head down over his heart.

At first, I didn't hear anything. (A/N: I really REALLY wanted to stop it here... because I am partially evil 😈 but I didn't 😇) I was about to pronounce my son dead with a heavy heart, when I heard a small faint, tha-dump... tha-dump I jumped up and laughed like a maniac.

"HE'S ALIVE!!!!" I yelled as I grabbed Valka and kissed her on the lips, hugged Astrid tightly and kissed Toothless on the head (which he seemed surprised then disgusted at). After the initial shock everyone started cheering. I bent down and started patting the pink scuttleclaw's head and said in a cracking voice, "th-thank you, for saving m-my s-son."

The dragon purred as he nuzzled my hand, I glanced back at my son and placed a hand on his head, "we are going home."

Yay! Hiccup's alive! I swear I DID NOT forget about Lucky... not at all!

...

Okay, I did...

I'm sorry! Please don't kill me 😢...

Hey! I made him bad ass right? That makes up for almost forgetting... right?

😧

I will hopefully have this chapter updated by next Monday but there is no guarantee. I have my last/first marching band comp this Saturday and that is the day I usually write this book because I have all day but... obviously not that Saturday. Which is why I didn't end it on the last cliffhanger that I wanted to 😈.

Also, only 2 more chapters left! (1 if you don't include the Epilogue...)


Also know. I have realized that recently, so many people are getting more and more depressed around me (myself including) at times. If anyone wants someone to speak to, I will listen. Sometimes, we need to let out the steam or rant about something and know that someone will listen, care, and not judge.

I care.

I listen.

And I never judge.

You don't have to take me up on this offer. I know it's hard, but sometimes, one needs that comfort. To know that someone out there is willing when you feel no one else cares. I've felt that way too. That no one cares.

And that feeling when someone says 'I understand', that rage because no one understands.

At least not completely.

And the words 'I'm sorry', how dead they feel. Like something to say when someone has nothing else to say.

So I'll make a promise.

I'll never say 'I understand'.

And I'll never say 'I'm sorry'.

I'll not speak, unless you want me to, and all I'll say, is something positive. But as I've said, you don't have to. It's just something I want ypu all to know. Because you are special, and I care 😊.

Now...

When I have a bad day, I watch this video (makes sense if you play the game Dark Souls, but for those who don't, I think you will like the message anyways. I also kniw that this song sounds like it is about a breakup, but dig a little deeper and you will find the message I found. Comment if you think you did please 😊)
