We never listen
Heather looks up and sees that it was Scarlett and Hala who flew in and shielded her from the Windshear's barbs as they looked to Hiccup and Stoick who was covered in ice.
"No." Hiccup says as he runs over to his father and Hala gasps at the sight of him before leaving Scarlett and Shortstuff to check on her father as Heather gets to her feet.
"Dad!" Hala call's as Hiccup and her turn him over on his back as Valka joins them and sees him.
Valka pressed her ear against Stoick's chest while Hiccup whispered, "Dad," over and over again. It took Hala a few moments before she realized that she was doing the same. Her father couldn't die here. He was too strong. He couldn't be taken down like this...he just couldn't.
Impossible.
But then...Terrifyingly enough...Valka shut her eyes with a small whimper. A tear rolled down her cheek, and she lifted her head, opening her eyes once again to gaze sadly at the children. The look in her eyes said it all.
"No," Hiccup whispered as if reading everyone's thoughts. He shook his head as if trying to shake himself out of whatever sick dream he found himself in.
But it wasn't a dream.
There was no waking up from this reality, no matter how sick and twisted it was.
"No, no, no," Hiccup whispered, resting his head against Stoick's chest. Heather couldn't see his face, but she saw his shoulders shaking and heaving with sobs that tore through his body.
Stoick is gone.
"No." Hiccup whispers as Toothless and Windshear wake up and the other riders join them and see what's happened.
Heather does the best to comfort her husband as Toothless walks up to them and smells Stoick's hand, not knowing what he did.
"No! Get away from him!" Hiccup pushes his dragon away as Toothless looks sorry for what he did. "Go on! Get away!" He tells Toothless who runs off in sadness.
"You know it's not his fault." Heather tells him as she feels just as sad and bad since Stoick was like her father.
As they mourn, the Bewilderbeast starts taking control of all of their dragons.
"Good dragons under the control of bad people...do bad things." Valka says as Drago sees Toothless can't fly on his own.
Dragon forces the dragon down and then controls him himself.
"Come on! Gather the men and meet me at the Edge! Then Berk!" Drago says and they're concerned for how powerful he'll become if he reaches the Edge.
"Toothless!" "Windshear!" "Shortstuff!" They shout as they fly off with Drago and leaves the Riders alone and defenseless.
They send Stoick on one of the only boats remaining to give Stoick a proper funeral as they light some arrows
"May the Valkyries welcome you and lead you through Odin's great battlefield." Gobber says as he cries. "May they sing your name with love and fury so that we might hear its rise from the depths of Valhalla, and know that you've taken your rightful place at the table of kings." He continues as he hands the bow and arrow to Hiccup. "For a great man has fallen. A warrior. A chieftain. A father. A friend."
Hiccup lights his arrow and aims at the ship and lights it in fire as everyone else does the same and they watch as the ship burns along with Stoick.
"I'm sorry, dad." Hiccup apologizes and Heather comforts her husband in his time of need. "I'm not the man he wanted me to be. And I'm not the peacekeeper I thought I was. I...don't know..."
Valka approaches the two and caresses Hiccup's hair. "You came early into this world. You and your sister. So frail, so fragile. I feared the two of you wouldn't make it in this world...but he always said the two of you would become the strongest of them all. And he was right. You have the heart of a chief, and the soul of a dragon. Only you can bring our worlds together. That...is who you are, son."
Hiccup looks and steps away from his family and watches the fire burn bright from the ship.
"I...I was so afraid of becoming my dad. Mostly because I thought I never could. So I decided to leave...become my own person. I mean, how do you become someone that great, that...brave, that selfless?" Hiccup asks. "I guess you can only try. A chief protects his own. We're going back."
"What are you planning?" Heather asks her husband.
"Something stupid." Hiccup says and looks to where the Edge is and Heather knows who he's thinking about, but there's one problem.
"Hiccup, we you already did stupid years ago." Heather reminds him.
"Then, something crazy." Hiccup admits.
"That's more I like it." Heather says with a smile.
"Excuse me, but how do we get back?" Snotlout asks him.
"He took all the dragons." Ruffnut informs them.
"Actually..." Hala says knowing there's a few left.
All of them are now flying on the baby Scuttleclaws that were left behind and fly their way through the glacier.
"We can't fly these things!" Tuffnut complains as the babies are just doing their own thing.
"Yeah, no kidding!" Fishlegs agrees as his baby flies through a snow pile.
"But won't that Bewilderbeast just take control of these guys, too?" Astrid asks them.
"They're babies! They don't listen to anyone." Hala explains to her.
"Yeah. Just like us." Tuffnut says.
"This is-Whoa!-very dangerous." Gobber says as his slams into the wall. "Some might suggest this is poorly conceived."
"Well, it's a good thing craziness runs in the Haddock blood." Hiccup says as he looks to Hala who laughs.
"So...What is your...plan?" Gobber asks as they go past walls.
"Get to the Edge, pray that the Razorfuries are still there, get some of our friends, use them to get Toothless and Scarlett back and kick Drago's..." Hiccup explains as a wall cuts off his wording and they make their way out.
They arrive at the Edge and the team lands and sees the entire island is deserted of dragons and their home is covered in ice.
"Oh no." Heather mumbles as they look over their once home.
Hiccup slaps himself out of it and then they start doing their dragon calls and they wait and hope they show when they hear a returning call and they look to see the Razorfuries are safe as they crawl out from under the wreckage.
"There you guys are!" Heather says as the babies run over and rub their heads on the legs of their parents Riders.
They kneel down happy to see not everything's gone and Hiccup runs to what's left of his hut and grabs something for Hala.
"What's that?" Hala asks and Hiccup shows it's a secondary flight suit.
"You said you wanted one. Now we just need to stop by and pick up one last member." Hiccup tells them and looks North.
The team are on their way back to Berk with the Razorfuries and see that they're too late as all of the dragons are flying around from the Sanctuary, Edge, and Berk.
"He took all the dragons." Fishlegs says as they see the alpha is leaning up on Berk that's covered in ice.
"Distract the alpha. Try to keep his focus off of Toothless and Scarlett." Hiccup tells them knowing they need the two Night Furies to stop him.
"How do we do that?" Tuffnut asks.
"Have you forgotten who you're riding with?" Erit asks him as they see him come up to them. "There isn't a dragon alive that I can't wrangle!" He says as the baby goes diving. "Except for this one!"
"Amateur." Snotlout says as they fly into Berk and the Haddock twins fly up to their dragons.
Hiccup flies up to Drago and Toothless with Blue and Hala goes to find Scarlett.
As they do that, a sheep comes leaping up as the team are using the Racer catapult to launch the sheep and the alpha was about to attack when he hears a horn and turns to the Thunderear.
When he turns back, a black sheep comes in and starts to fall down his face and blows it off.
It goes in to strike when a blast of ice forms from the side by Elsa who they picked up on their way and the alpha is seriously confused as she's hiding on the water horse.
Hiccup makes it to Toothless and Blue screeches happily seeing his father.
"You certainly are hard to get rid of, I'll say that." Drago comments on him.
"Toothless...Hey. It's me, bud. It's me. I'm right here, bud." Hiccup tells his dragon. "Come back to me."
Drago chuckles at his attempts. "He's not yours anymore. He belongs to the alpha. But, please, O Great Dragon Master try...to take him. He will not miss a second time."
At the same time, Hala flies up to Scarlett who was in the crowd of dragons.
"Scarlett...hey, it's me, girl. And I need you now more than ever." Hala says as she reaches her hand out to her. "We've been there for one another for years, and I'm not letting you go yet."
"It wasn't your fault, bud. They...made you do it." Hiccup tells Toothless as he reaches his palm out and Blue even rubs his head against his father and it seems to be working.
Hala reaches her hand out almost touching Scarlett's face and she seems to be fighting off the control.
"I know you'd never hurt me." Halal tells her dragon.
"You'd never hurt him. You'd never hurt me." Hiccup says as he places his palm to the dragons head as he's snapping free.
Hala does the same as it seems Scarlett has broken free and smiles before licking Hala's face causing her to chuckle.
"There's my good girl!" Hala cheers.
"How are you doing that?" Drago asks Hiccup.
"Please. You are my best friend, bud." Hiccup begs and Toothless breaks free and smiles and Blue screeches happily at his father and Toothless licks his son in return. "Attaboy! That's it! I'm here."
"Enough!" Drago yells and goes to hit Toothless when Blue grabs his stick using his mouth and Toothless throws him off.
"Yeah!" Hiccup cheers and Toothless falls with nobody helping him fly and Hiccup leaps off. "Hang on!"
The three start to fall as Drago lands on the alpha and Scarlett flies in and grabs Toothless before grabbing Hiccup and putting them together and they fly off.
"Do something!" Drago tells the alpha.
"We need to get those two apart." Hiccup tells Hala who agrees as they grab a piece of cloth each before the alpha starts shooting blasts of ice at them.
"We gotta block him out, guys." Hala tells their dragons.
"Do you trust us?" Hiccup asks and the dragons do as they cover their dragons eyes and ears. "We can do this. Together."
"Together as one." Hala agrees as they go flying in to the alpha as everyone cheers them on.
"Take control of them!" Drago yells at his alpha and nothing happens.
"Now!" Hiccup tells Hala as she understands when the alpha sends a blast their way and they dodge and the dragons fly up above where Drago sees the riders are missing.
He turns and sees the two of them using the flight suits and fly past and Hiccup gave Hala his spare Inferno he made so they both release Zippleback gas and then ignite it to send Drago flying and landing on the ground.
The twins look and see they're about time hit by the tail.
"Not again." Hiccup complains, remembering how he lost his leg.
"It's now or never, guys!" Hala says as the Night Furies use their extra wings to reach them both and they escape just in time.
"We did it!" Hiccup cheers as he separates from his sister to go to Drago.
Drago reaches for the staff and Hiccup lights up Inferno and throws it to stop him.
"Hold him there, Toothless. It's all over now." Hiccup says as the alpha spots them.
"Or is it?" Drago asks.
"Hiccup!" Hala warns him and Hiccup turns to see it as Toothless leaps in to protect him and the alpha spits ice at them.
"No!" Valka yells as she reaches the ice and everyone else runs up to see the ice starts to glow and it explodes to show Toothless is glowing blue all over and he roars at the alpha. Then he turns to Hiccup and sees he's okay and then Toothless leaps up the ice blast and screeches at the alpha.
"He's challenging the alpha!" Hiccup sees as Hala joins him on the ground.
"To protect you!" Hala finishes as they watch the two dragons fight.
"Go Toothless!" Everyone shouted, cupping her hands around her mouth.
"Kick his tail, Toothster!" Heather cheered back.
For the first time in a long time, they were smiling genuinely as they watched Toothless take on their enemy.
No one could win against a furious father Night Fury, and that was exactly what Toothless and Hiccup were at that moment.
A furious father.
Toothless fired a plasma blast; the burst was a mix of purple and that same glowing electric blue, and it exploded against the Bewilderbeast's face like a firework. It was the biggest blast they ever saw come from that dragon in years, and it fascinated and amazed them both at once.
The Alpha's tusk smashed against the spike of ice Toothless was perching on, but Toothless didn't even seemed fazed. He fired again after taking residence on a spike of ice below the first one, and fired again at the Alpha.
Then, slowly but surely, the dragons that had once been flocking over the Alpha turned and hovered in the air over Toothless. The Alpha was losing his hold on the dragons; he no longer had power over their minds.
Hala turned and looked at Scarlett . The Night Fury shook the blindfold off her face, her eyes returning to their normal, innocent look.
Toothless was winning the battle for Alpha status. He was winning, and the dragons were coming to his side.
Hiccup suddenly raced forward, straight up to Toothless without fear. He leapt atop his dragon's back, and Toothless let him without protest, although his main focus remained on the Alpha.
No...not Alpha anymore.
The Bewilderbeast wasn't the Alpha dragon anymore.
Toothless was the King of all dragons.
"This is what it is to earn a dragon's loyalty. Let this end now." Hiccup tells Drago.
"Never! Come on!" Drago replies, still believing he can win.
Toothless let loose another ear piercing roar, and then, all the dragons in the air over him and around him open fired at the Bewilderbeast. They hit him from every angle possible, all over his face, neck, and even some of his back.
The dragons stopped all at once, and Toothless fired one final plasma blast, aiming straight for the Bewilderbeast's tusks. The plasma blast exploded, and the dragon's tusk snapped straight off, leaving jagged spikes where it used to be. Black smoke poured from the gaping hole, and the former Alpha roared a mix of what sounded like fury and pain.
Toothless roared in triumph. He had won.
The Bewilderbeast bowed. He bowed to Toothless; to the new Alpha.
"The Alpha protects them all!" Hiccup shouted, his voice full of triumph, much like Toothless' roar. As if agreeing with what he had said, Toothless roared again, and behind him and above him, the other dragons did the same, cheering in victory.
The Bewilderbeast turned, defeated, and returned to the water from where it had come. It sank beneath the waves almost painfully slowly, but as soon as it was gone, the Berkians burst into cheers.
"YEAH!" Astrid whooped. She punched Heather's shoulder with more force than necessary but she couldn't control her excitement, and it nearly sent Heather crashing into Hala. "He did it!" Astrid cheered. "He did it!"
"He did it." Heather repeated.
Toothless and the other dragons raced back and landed on solid ground, Toothless standing in front of all the other dragons. Hiccup slid off Toothless' back and stepped away, watching in awe as the dragons bowed lowly to their new Alpha. Toothless straightened his posture and tried to look majestic, and it became clear that the dragon loved people bowing to him.
Then, the dragons lifted their heads and blasted fire into the air. They watched as the fires collided like fireworks, sending small, floating embers down upon the ground. It was beautiful to witness and amazing to watch.
Toothless raced back towards Hiccup, and Hiccup put his hands under the dragon's chin, smiling softly. "You never cease to amaze me, bud," Hiccup whispered. He rested his forehead against the dragon's muzzle and shut his eyes contentedly. "Thank you."
But the moment gets interrupted as Toothless licks Hiccup to the ground and continues and everyone laughs at that.
"Toothless, you know that doesn't wash out!" Hiccup tells his dragon when even the Razorfuries begin to lick the down Rider as Heather, Hala, and Valka laugh as the dragons reunite with their families.
"Windshear!" Heather shouts as she returns to her leaving Skullcrusher.
"There you are, Shortstuff." Hala says as her Terror comes back and licks her face.
"That was some pretty fine dragon-wrangling back there. You'd make a good trapped." Erit tells Hiccup as Skullcrusher nocks against him.
"You know, Skullcrusher is gonna need somebody to look after him now." Hiccup tells him.
"Me? I'd be honored." Erit says.
Valka then approaches her son and daughter. "Your father would be as bit proud of the two of you as I am."
"I'm really glad to have the two of you back in my life." Hiccup says and looks out to where the Edge once stood. "But we're gonna have to rebuild something new now."
"We're gonna need a new island as well." Heather replies.
"Well, I might have somewhere in mind." Elsa tells the two of them.
Hiccup and Heather look to their friend wanting to hear where she thinks they can rebuild their new home.
