My last chapter! Thank you guys for the reviews and favourites. Sorry its late I wanted to have a beta and I asked Midnightsky0612 but decided on dragonblade152 but he/she became sick for a while.

Overall I'm happy dragonblade152 did a good job! XD

P.S. I decided not to do a proper battle sorry.

There is no sequel! Not sure what I will be writing next but until then goobye!

Hiccup scrunched his eyes, hearing a drumming sound echo in his ears. He tried to ignore it as the throbbing of his temple worsened. Then he heard voices. One of them sounded just like his father.

Hiccup startled awake and jumped to his feet. A wave of nausea, light-headedness and unsteadiness combined as the teen began shaking .

Surprised to see no one coming in, he pushed the crooked door and saw Alvin's men hollering, firing up in the orange and crimson sky. The arrows were ineffective against fire-breathing reptiles shooting down upon them.

The boy's condition subsided observing the action. Towards his right was the intense battle of the two leaders clashing their swords, circling each other as they again struck conflict. Hiccup decided against making himself known by crouching down behind a barrel searching for his dragon.

Waiting and listening to the battle, Hiccup went from one hiding spot to another. Anxiety filled his heart upon finding Toothless nowhere on deck.

"Toothless! Where are you?" He whispered.

As he scanned the area he didn't consider the fact the gang had detected him. He froze when he heard the twins shout his name.

"Hiccup my man we have found you!" Tuffnut called out pointing a finger towards two barrels that the boy was hiding behind.

Hiccup slapped his head at his own stupidity. Why did he have to give away his exact location?

Stoick stopped the fight, hearing Tuffnut announce his son was outside. Full of relief, he turned away from Alvin to see his child sprinting towards his friends. His heart started pounding as two of Alvin's goons chased after him. The chief was ready to launch an attack when a fireball from Snotlout shot the men into the water.

"Aha! That's how it's done!" he said as Gobber whacked another two outcasts from getting to his nephew.

"Gobber, when did you get here?" Hiccup said, standing halfway behind the large blonde.

The blacksmith shrugged. "Not too long, less than an hour. Don't worry Hiccup this will be over soon."

"I need to find Toothless. Do you know where Alvin put him?"

"I do," a female answered from above.

Hiccup smiled as Astrid and Stormfly balanced on the rocking ship.

"From what I could see Alvin put Toothless below deck, probably in one of his dungeons."

Hiccup nodded, grabbing Astrid's hand as she jumped down beside him.

"OK Gobber, keep up the distraction. Astrid and I will search for Toothless."

Stormfly, ordered by her rider, assisted Gobber in keeping the men preoccupied as the teens entered the ship. The retching smell of odor and alcohol was intense, forcing them to cover their noses for a few minutes.

"This is disgusting," said Astrid, using slow intakes to control her breathing.

"You don't have to come down here with me. Once I find Toothless I'll be ready to defeat Alvin."

"No, Hiccup. I'm staying even if this place gives me the plague. Two is better than one."

They walked a few more meters when a squawk forced them to turnaround. A small armoured coloured dragon ambled timidly to the heir. Hiccup was a little shocked. Not only did he forget about the Rumblehorn but was astonished to see the little dragon anywhere near Alvin at all!

"So this is where you have been the whole time?" Astrid said. "Should have known. He did come to your aid, Hiccup. Before we noticed Alvin he tried to tell Stoick what was going on."

Widened forest eyes stared at the Rumblehorn, who was looking at the brown mismatched wood. Hiccup was right. Dragons are were good creatures!

"Rumblehorn, can you find Toothless?" Hiccup said. "Alvin has him somewhere down here and I need you to track his scent for me. Are you willing to corporate with me?"

A few seconds of silence as the Rumblehorn concentrated on his task. His pupils turned into slits, his snout literally pressed to the floor. The two humans trailed behind the reptile as he turned a right down another corridor.

Astrid saw the uncertainty Hiccup failed to block.

"It will be OK Hiccup. Rumblehorn will find him. After all, he did find you in the air."

"Really?"

She nodded. "Oh yeah, and honestly I think there might be a form of partnership between our chief and this new species. They seemed to click as they're both hard-headed, stubborn, and robust."

Hiccup grinned. "I hope so. I have to teach dad how to fly a dragon and he is not using Toothless."

The two stopped talking as the Rumblehorn moved faster. The dragon yelped and stomped around another corner.

"Rumblehorn wait!" Hiccup called.

They came upon a thick black padlock on a rusty, cracked door handle. The actual door itself was also damaged, with multiple splits of wood sticking out.

"This door looks ready to fall with a single push," Astrid said.

Luckily the holes in the door were wide enough for Hiccup to see through. His beloved dragon was chained to the wall with manacles around his paws and mouth. Toothless appeared to be sleeping but his rider new better.

"Toothless?"

Hiccup grinned as the Night Fury's ears started twitching. His green eyes adjusted in the darkness and the shackles creaked. He heard his hatchling again and began shaking trying to escape.

"Toothless it's OK, we're coming. Astrid, you stand guard. Rumblehorn, show us your power.

The Rumblehorn arched back like a bull ready to charge. He pulled back his feet and dashed forward, crashing his thick head straight in the center of the wooden door. Within seconds it began to crumble.

"Wow you are like a little skullcrusher Rumblehorn. Skullcrusher. We finally found you a name. Do you like?" Hiccup smiled at the energetic baby who started licking his face.

"Ha ha I get it little guy. Now let's free Toothless."

Hiccup never assumed it would be easy, but it was. Skullcrusher showed ability, potential, and technique when releasing his elder from the captivity. Removing the last iron chains, Hiccup was bombarded by reptile kisses on his freckled face.

"I missed you too bud. I'm glad you're fine. Now let's get out of here."

"Oh I don't think so."

They turned around to see Alvin holding Astrid in front, gripping her arm tightly. His grimy hand covered Astrid's mouth.

The dragons snarled and growled while Hiccup gritted his teeth.

"Damn! I didn't even notice!"

"Hiccup, I thought you heard stories about me. You might know that I don't always play fair." Alvin said.

Hiccup stood in a fighting position, eyes narrowed. He gave a slight nod to Astrid, who returned the gesture.

"Is Stoick's little runt going to strike me? Well then, boy. Show me what you got."

A smirk appeared on the heir's face. "Who, me? Why would I when I have a dragon to incinerate you instead?"

"And if you did that wouldn't your little friend here become ashes? Risking the life of your friend. Really, Hiccup, how thoughtful of you."

There was a hint of uncertainty in the man's speech. Enough to let his guard down.

"Toothless, fire!" shouted Hiccup. The Night Fury summoned a fiery ball, launching it just inches from Alvin. The outcast was startled. loosening his grip on Astrid. She swerved and aimed a kick at his knee. The blow wasn't hard enough to knock him down but adequate in escaping his grasp.

"It's over Alvin. Ssurrender or I will hurt you!" Hiccup shouted.

The leader clenched his hands, feeling the rough nails on the center. Right now he was in a burdensome situation. His calculations have been vanquished. It seemed dragons were more loyal and had some sort of conscious rather than the mindless beast he'd always claimed them to be.

Despite the embarrassment of defeat Alvin was a man of his word. However, he never said he would go easily.

"Now Hiccup, there is no need to get violent. I yield. I can't battle against the famous Night Fury after all, can I?"

The teens watched Alvin step backwards and throw something in the air. They gasped as smoke suffused the dungeon.

"A smoke bomb!" Astrid cried, coughing.

"Sneaky! Toothless use your wings to blow the fog away!" The reptile, along with his smaller companion, both rapidly reduced the smog only to find Berk's enemy had vanished.

"Quick Skullcrusher, track him!"

The trio ran behind the Rumblehorn, who followed the trail leading straight up a staircase.

"That must be the way out. Toothless, use plasma blast!"

The outcast tribe was growing defenseless against the invasion. Only a few were left standing as most of them were either set ablaze or simply admitting they treasured their own lives and jumped into the salty waves splashing on the sides of the ship.

Stoick and Gobber were unstoppable, slashing through the men and never letting anyone get in between them. The twins were literally demolishing the vessel with only a matter of time before everyone abandoned ship. Hookfang had a taste of picking out his targets and, well, let's just say they learned how to fly before landing.

As for Fishleg, he had spotted a purple light emerging from underneath. A blast cremated the trap door. Stoick sighed in comfort, a weight lifting off his heart to know his son was unharmed.

"Son, are you hurt?"

Hiccup shook his head. "No dad, but have you seen Alvin? Skullcrusher traced him going up the steps."

The chief raised his eyebrow in puzzlement. "We didn't see him come through here. Knowing Alvin he probably escaped like the coward he is."

An eruption convulsed the entire vessel. Astrid who had leaped on her dragon prior to the explosion, ordered the other riders to get away. Hiccup leaned on Toothless as the Rumblehorn kept himself steady. They heard a splash. The Rumblehorn bounced on the ledge to see the lily-livered, spineless man floating away on a raft. His second in command, Savage, grabbed on to Alvin's armour only to be shoved back into the sea.

"Ha ha! You will never catch me! Until we meet again, Hiccup the dragon conqueror."

Alvin screamed as two fire bolts crashed landed in the water, causing the raft to fly several meters away. His henchmen, screeching for their boss, swam like a pack of fish about to be devoured by a shark, or in this case, dragons.

Stoick walked up to his son, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Alvin will be back son, but when that day happens we will be ready for him."

Hiccup agreed, knowing that the outcast leader was smart and fleeing the scene was the best thing.

Gobber wiped the sweat away from his brows. "I don't know about you but I'm beat. I can feel my stomach saying feed me and a nice mug of ale for a successful mission. What do you say?"

The father and son stared and smiled. "You know Gobber, that is a pretty good idea."

Heading back to Berk was peaceful and tranquil. Unfortunately telling our fellow Vikings who were still arriving by ship that they were not exactly needed left them crestfallen. But nonetheless they celebrated with a small feast.

Hiccup and Toothless made their way to the table, holding his friends who were still talking about the action. Or rather the twins and Snotlout were competing who was better at causing catastrophes.

"Come on, you know I was one who kept firing," Snotlout said. "I created the most calamities! All you both did was shoot at the ship causing more problem for us than the actual enemy!"

"Oh contraire my friend, our chief explicitly announced that we were allowed to cause destruction when he ordered us to," Tuffnut said.

Ruffnut continued. "I believe we caused the most afflictions as we have two heads which are so better than one!"

"Oh yeah, high five sister!"

As the twins spat and clapped their hands their team's mouths were slightly open.

"What?" the siblings echoed.

"How can you both be dumb and stupid yet clever when you wanna be?" Snotlout replied skeptically.

Tuffnut shrugged. "Dunno. Being smart all the time is boring, no offense to smart people but..." He glanced at Hiccup and Fishlegs.

The heir just chuckled. Astrid called his name.

"Hiccup, I saw your dad and Skullcrusher going home. Judging by what has happened today it should be a good thing."

Taking the message, Hiccup and his partner strolled down the large length of stairs toward his house. Once inside he saw his father feeding the Rumblehorn.

"I thought you said only one dragon policy," Hiccup said, watching his Night Fury nudging Stoick for a cod.

Stoick sat down on his stump and took off his helmet. "Yes, I did say that. However, well...I have kind of taken a liking to this little guy. Plus he did help save you and Toothless. Without him this rescue could have been more severe.".

Hiccup stroked his new friend, who yawned cuddling up to his man's chair.

"You are right dad, that is why we have to keep him. I mean, look at him. He definitely likes you, dad. Skullcrusher would be pleased to have you for a partner."

"Wait, what did you say?"

"Partner?"

"No, before that."

"Skullcrusher?"

Stoick rubbed his rough unruly beard. "Skullcrusher huh? Ha ha, what a brilliant name for someone who is becoming the leader's dragon."

Skullcrusher squealed, bowing his head at his new, kinder master.

"Wow! He even bowed! Welcome your new family Skullcrusher!"

Toothless crooned, bumping heads with the baby.

Hiccup sat on the ground beside the fire, watching his little family with satisfaction and happiness. One day he will teach his father how to view his island from above. The joy and sparkle from his green eyes at the beautiful view. He hoped to teach everyone how to ride, but one step at a time. Starting with a little dragon that has already grown a little even after just three days.

He is strong, stubborn and powerful just like his father. They will be the best of friends fighting battles and keeping the village running. Just like himself and Toothless. Hiccup felt soft scaly skin resting besides him. Toothless gurgled gently, sitting down beside his partner and resting on his paws.

Feeling a wing wrapping around him, Hiccup embraced the warmth and yawned. As his eyes began closing he saw the Rumblehorn spring up on Stoick's lap, twist around twice before curling in a ball, and started snoring.

Oh yeah, an imitation of his father.

The teen shuffled a little more into a comfortable position, the smiled never leaving his face. Life on Berk was great. In fact it was best thing that could have ever happened in history, spending a lifetime with dragons.
