Hiccup was looking at Fraudrin with a menacing look that no one had ever seen before.

"What do you say Fraudrin?" Hiccup asked. "This time I'll make sure that you are actually a pretty rated from this world."

Fraudrin stared at him terrified. "Hiccup. It seems your magical power… is just like it used to be."

He then slammed his claw straight down towards him, but Hiccup launched into the air and went straight through his chest much to everyone's amazement. Hiccup then quickly turned around and went straight through him once again and repeated the process over and over until he looks like Swiss cheese.

Fraudrin coughed out some blood and then turned his gaze towards him. "You bastard."

You no doubt try to make of never stand against him, but his magical power had been completely drained that he reverted back to his normal size. He then fell to his knees right in front of Hiccup, who had his back towards him.

"He just took down that Commandment like it was nothing," said Ake.

"Of course he did," said Ragnar. "While Fraudrin's power level is 31,000, Hiccup's current level is double that. And now that he's in his Dragonborn form that number is even higher."

"Hiccup was feared among the Demon Race and was nicknamed the Demons Bane," said Astrid. "He probably killed more Demons than all the Angels combined."

"Our hatred has been festering for 3000 years," said Fraudrin. "While you are whiling away in your sentimental dreams, we waited in the dark, burning for revenge against the Angel Race, against you!"

Hiccup approached him. "It was the same for me honestly."

He then slapped Fraudrin across the face causing him to skid across the ground and then he slowly began to approach him.

"Easy, don't die yet," he said menacingly.

Snotlout frowned. "Wait, this is and how he normally does things."

3000 years ago, Fraudrin was standing face-to-face with an old man in the shadows.

"It would seem as if the peace talks have taken an unexpected turn," said the old man.

"I say that slaughtering Aranak and Zeno is more than an unexpected turn!" Fraudrin roared. "I can't believe that Sir Hiccup betrayed us!"

"I wouldn't jump to conclusions, he could have been manipulated by the Angels, you know how devious they can be."

"I very much doubt that Meliodas will be as forgiving, despite their friendship."

"One can only imagine his pain, he is now forced himself into a conflict he doesn't want in order to protect those close to him. Tell me, can you understand that?"

At the time Fraudrin didn't want to. "No, it makes no sense."

Back in the present, Fraudrin was still determined to kill Hiccup through whatever means were necessary.

"I am one of the Demon King's elite troops," he said as he tried to stand. "The Ten Commandments. Fraudrin of Selflessness."

"Have you forgotten that you never received a Commandment from the Demon King?" Hiccup asked as he raised Inferno. "Face it, you are nothing more than a substitute."

"Shut up you traitor!" Fraudrin roared furiously. "I carry the pride of the Demon Race, you claimed that you were a friend to us but in the end you betrayed us."

He then began to concentrate all the magical power he had left. "Zaratras opened my eyes, I don't intend to die so easily."

Hiccup just stood there confidently.

"I wonder just how long you can keep that mocking smile?" said Fraudrin as what appeared to be red lightning charged through his body.

"What's he doing?" Ake asked.

"It would seem as if Fraudrin has opted for self-destruction," said Ragnar.

"Self-destruction?"

Suddenly they are magically found themselves in a Perfect Cube, no doubt created by Ragnar.

"Don't worry, he may be powerful, but he can't destroy Perfect Cube," said Ragnar as he raised them up into the air.

"That's not what were worried about," said Ake.

"Yeah, what about the thousands of civilians still in the city?" Ruffnut asked.

"Can't we evacuate?" said Tuffnut.

"No time," said Astrid. "I fear we only have one minute before he blows."

"To be honest I don't know what he intends to accomplish with such a feat, Hiccup would no doubt survive the explosion as well," Ragnar pondered.

Fraudrin laughed. "Even if I don't take you out, I will still white this entire kingdom right off the map."

On the other side of the castle, everyone was tending to the wounded. Ragnar had managed to free Ase and Agnar and remove the Demon eggs from inside them.

Ase was now looking over her dead brother with tears in her eyes. "Big Brother… It can't be."

Agnar was still very weak from the instruction and Weir was indeed worried that he may not survive.

"Agnar, stay with me," she pleaded.

Topaz just stood there and closed his eyes, never in his life has he seen so much death.

"Soon the few humans that managed to survive in hiding will be annihilated and their blood will be on your hands!" Fraudrin roared.

"Will you just die already," Hiccup growled in annoyance. "I'm starting to get sleepy."

Fraudrin just stared at him, it was as if he lacked any compassion or concern for anyone around him.

"It's over that Demon, he's nothing more than a pathetic monster," said Amber as he slammed her fist against the cube.

Snotlout looked at Ragnar curiously. "Ragnar, is provoking him part of Hiccup's strategy or what?"

To be honest Ragnar had no idea.

"We just have to trust that he knows what he's doing," said Astrid, though she had her doubts.

"Calder, looks like will be together in the next world as well," said Fraudrin fully aware that Calder was directly behind him. "It's too bad about your boy though."

Calder held Fraudrin close to him. "Easy, son. It's all right, I promise to be with you to the very end."

Gael looked at him with tears in his eyes. "Father."

Fraudrin looked at them with in the corner of his eye, he can't forget that the 10 years he had pretended to be Gael's father. All those emotions were now flooding back to him, in true he really did care for the boy just as much as Calder did, it could have been a side-effect of him sharing a body with him for so long.

"No," he said trying to shake the thought out of his head. However, the harder he tried to resist the memories the stronger they came. "I was only pretending back then so that you would have no idea that I seized his body."

"He can't!" said Gael and immediately freed himself from his father's embrace.

"Gael!" Calder cried.

Then to everyone's surprise Gael wrapped his arms around Fraudrin's leg and no one was more surprised than Fraudrin himself. Suddenly Gael created a powerful shield around himself and Fraudrin, it was possibly even strong enough to hold back is explosion.

"Please, don't do it," Gael pleaded looking up at him. "Don't kill him! All the others either!"

Calder rush to his feet towards the force field. "Stop it! What are you doing?"

"That idiot!" Ake yelled.

"Get away from him! Gael, no!" Amber cried.

Calder began punching against the force field with all his strength he had. "You have to stop this! Release this spell right now, Gael!"

"Let go of me! Release this spell you brat!" Fraudrin ordered.

Gael shook his head.

Fraudrin found himself conflicted with the emotions he had while raising Gael. "Please, be a good boy."

Fraudrin then suddenly remembered the words of the old man, how explained that Hiccup would do anything to protect those he loves, even fighting in a war that he did not want.

"I get it now," he said and then he patted Gael. "I won't kill your father or anybody else."

Gael looked up at him. "Do you promise? You really mean it?"

To prove that he meant his word, Fraudrin ceased his self-destruction spell. "Yes, I promise. So take down this wall and go to him."

Gael brushed the tears out of his eyes and then lowered the force field. He then looked at his father who was overflowed with tears of joy then jumped into his arms and gave him a big hug.

"It appears that I'm the one that is wallowing in a sentimental dream," said Fraudrin and he remember the words of the old man. "I suppose I never wanted to understand."

He then turned and faced Hiccup.

"Kill me."

Hiccup looked up at him.

"Please, no!" Gael cried.

If Hiccup was his old self he probably wouldn't go through with the Demon's request, but he wasn't his old self and that made all the difference. Flames covered his fist and then he slammed it as hard as he could into Fraudrin and it right through his body, killing him instantly.

With that, the Battle of Berk was over, but it didn't come without cost.

Ruby stood there in the ruins of the castle looking at Hiccup, he wasn't the same person he was when she first met him.

"Hiccup," she said softly.

Later that afternoon, people began to take care of the injured and mourn their dead. Within the ruins of the castle both Astrid and Ragnar were talking to one another when Eret arrived.

"Sir Ragnar!" Eret cried as he approached them. "Lady Astrid? I had no idea that you were here as well."

Ragnar turned and smiled at Eret. "It is only been a while, Sir Eret."

"I had a feeling that it was your magical power that I sensed," he said.

Ragnar smiled. "Astrid was just telling me about your recent exploits, I wouldn't expect anything less from you."

"Last I heard you were turned completely to stone, though given your magical ability I shouldn't be surprised that you didn't overcome that little curse." Eret then noticed the dark looks on their faces. "What's wrong? Did I miss something?"

"You could say that," Astrid nodded.

Eret then follow their gaze and saw Hiccup standing there in the middle of the ruins with Snotlout.

"Snotlout and is at… Hiccup?" Eret blinked.

"So how long are you going to stand there?" Hiccup asked. "There's something you want to say to me, right?"

"Well, I suppose," said Snotlout and he approached him, he then placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm glad that you're alive and well." He then walked off. "Why don't we throw back a few drinks tonight to celebrate? Sounds good?"

Eret was still rather confused with the dark looks on everyone's faces, he hadn't seen how Hiccup handled Fraudrin.

"What happened?" Eret asked still confused on how Hiccup could still be alive. "We all saw Hiccup passing away before our eyes."

"Every time he died he is always resurrected," Ragnar explained. Eret looked at him confused. "It's all due to a curse placed upon him by the Demon King."

Eret looked at Hiccup. "So he's cursed? To be immortal? Incredible."

"The problem is each time he's brought back, his emotions to grade," Ragnar explained.

"During the last few days of the Holy War, Hiccup battle against the most powerful Demons within the Demon King's forces, his son and heir, Meliodas," said Astrid. "He was the most fearsome out of the Demon Race and Hiccup was the only person capable of standing up against him. The battle was fiercely last days, but Hiccup emerged triumphant though it cost them a leg."

Eret looked at her. "That's how he lost a leg?"

Astrid nodded. "But Meliodas could not be killed a new order to prevent it from being revived the Angels managed to lock his soul within Hiccup's body and used his emotion as chains. However, the Demon King used the last of his power in order to place a curse on him before he was sealed in the Coffin of Eternal Darkness. Now every time he dies and comes back he loses his emotions, which weakens the whole on Meliodas' soul, sooner or later you have enough strength to break out of Hiccup body and then we'll all be in trouble."

Eret looked horrified. "B-but shouldn't we—"

"Just let him be for now," said Ragnar.

Eret looked at him and nodded,

Ragnar closed his eyes. 'Fraudrin may very well had been at mastermind around countless tragedies, but that wasn't the way to defeat him.'

Later that night, they began to send the fallen into their final resting place. It had also started to rain and the king was standing next to a priest as they began to send the departed souls. For grades had been dug for Emerald, Dogedo, Marmas and Olaf.

"The souls of these noble Dragon Knights have departed from this world, now let us pray for these four that made the ultimate sacrifice," said the priest. "They laid down their lives for the kingdom and its people."

"Marmas, you were taken away far too soon," said Ake.

The surviving members of the Pleiades of the Azure Sky were taking their fallen comrade is very hard. Both Deldry and Arden were crying in Deathpierce's shoulders as he too was crying.

"Sir Emerald, why?" Deldry cried. "If you had told us I'm sure we could have found another way."

"Dogedo, rest in peace with your friends," said Waillo with tears in his eyes.

Ase has been completely devastated when she found out that her brother had died for her. "I don't understand, I never even had a decent conversation with my brother."

Snotlout was standing behind and then placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "So why did he chose to die to protect me? When the only words he ever spoke of to me were complaints?" She then cried in Snotlout's chest. "Why?"

Alvin and Calder were also present, though admittedly their presence was unwelcome by many.

Deldry proved that by tossing the stones straighter Alvin's head. "What justice is there if Sir Emerald's dead if you too are still alive!" She then grabbed another stone and this time tossed it at Calder. "You bastards!"

"That's enough!" Ake yelled shielding the two of them. "Do you think they wanted the Demons to control them?"

King Topaz then stepped forward. "Everyone, as King I ask you to respect the fallen and send their souls off with reference, civility and gratitude."

"Your Highness," said AKe taken aback.

"If at all possible, I hope that you will strive to restore this once great kingdom with haste. The Demon race devastated both its structures and the hearts of its people. So we all must put the past behind us and stand together as one."

Hiccup made his way to the ruins of his tavern.

"They really did a number on this place, there's nothing left of it now," Hiccup sighed. He then noticed that a few bottles and some food had survived. "It looks as if a few bottles survived and there's something left to make a meal with."

He made a makeshift shelter and created a fire and began to cook what little he had.

"At long last I managed revenge Ruby," he said as he poured some mead into a tankard. "Now it's time for a toast. I suppose drinking alone once in awhile isn't such a bad thing."

"I thought that I find you here," said a voice.

Hiccup looked up and saw Astrid. "Hey, Astrid. What's up? Why are you here?"

"Because I wanted to be," she said simply and sat down next to him.

"I would offer you some food and drink, but…"

"It's quite all right," Astrid assured.

"You know we haven't had a decent conversation since I came back," said Hiccup. "I guess I kind of freak you out with my battle with Fraudrin."

"It was unlike you," Astrid admitted. "However, knowing about your little curse makes it all too clear. Why didn't you ever tell me?"

Hiccup looked at the fire. "Because I didn't want you to think of me as some monster."

Astrid shook her head. "You're still a monster, the only question what kind of monster you are."

"Boy, you really are bad at cheering someone up."

"It possibly would help with I had a heart of my own," Astrid shrugged.

"I promise we will find a way to restore you, I just hope that I'm still the same person you remember when that happens."

Astrid then placed a hand over his. "No matter how much you change, you're still that courageous, unassuming, warrior that I fell in love with."

"I wish the others saw me that way," said Hiccup. "Well, not the love part, but you saw the way that Snotlout looked at me after the battle. When I killed Fraudrin I felt so good and I still feel pretty good, even now."

Astrid noted that tears were now forming in his eyes. "Hiccup?"

"I'm scared, of becoming that vicious savage monster and what worse there's an even worse vicious savage monster inside of me. Of course you know of my other curse, the one which I can't control the one that hurts me the greatest."

"This time you will be alone in protecting," said Astrid comforted as she pulled him into an embrace. "Everything is going to be fine, I promise."

The next morning, Ake awoke and got himself ready for a long day.

"Right, time to head out," he said to his father. "I'll be too busy rebuilding the castle and the whole town to come home any time soon so take care of things here."

"Never mind all that," he said looking at his son. "Just open up those haplessly eyes of yours and go!"

Then for good measure, he kicked his son in the backside straight out the door.

Ake groaned as he rubbed his rear end, but then when he turned to face against the castle he found that it had been completely restored along with the rest of the town.

"Whoa… no way," he stared openmouthed. "The town… the castle… they're all back to normal."

The explanation of this miracle was actually quite simple, Ragnar had been the one that restore the entire castle and town over a single night. Though using that much magical power had been taxing, so he was in his tower having a bad and reading at the same time.

The Seven Deadly Sins along with Ruby had gathered around and they felt a bit awkward is looking at Ragnar.

"I still can't believe you are able to rebuild everything," said Eret folding his arms.

Ragnar just merely shrugged. "It was quite taxing, there again considering that most of the damage was caused by yours truly it was the least I could do. Sadly there is still much to do until everything is completely restored."

"What do you mean?" Eret asked.

"All the buildings may have been restored, but there won't bring back the dead nor will it heal the souls of the people in this kingdom," said Ragnar regretfully. "With that said, this last battle ended unquestionably a victory for the Seven Deadly Sins." He then looked up at Hiccup. "It's not a crime to celebrate a win, old friend."

Hiccup merely shrugged and looked at the floor. "Right."

Astrid knew that he was still deeply concerned with his actions yesterday.

"Hiccup," said Snotlout approaching him.

"What is it, Snotlout?" Hiccup asked.

Snotlout then slapped him hard in the back. "How come you didn't join our little get-together last night? Because I have to admit that our party was pretty late without you there."

"Really?" Hiccup blinked.

"I'm sorry about yesterday," Snotlout admitted. "I guess I had no idea what to say to you after the battle, you know. It was stupid it's not like anything changed in our complex relationship."

"You didn't do anything wrong," Hiccup assured.

"I know, to be perfectly honest you always have that blank look on your face anyway. So, I guess I was worried for nothing."

Ruby looked at Astrid. "How was he last night?"

"Complicated," she said. "He felt very conflicted about how he reacted yesterday, I just think it'll take some time for him to get used to these new feelings of his. At the same time he is also afraid of what he might become if they get worse."

"Whatever the case I'm glad that you're here with us, Sir Hiccup," said Eret joyously.

"It's good to see you too Eret, I'm just sorry that we didn't had a chance to talk back at Vaizel," said Hiccup regretfully.

"It is fine, we had other things on our minds at the time," said Eret dismissively.

Elsewhere Alvin and Calder were making their way down the street within the capital.

"I understand that Gael will eventually return back to normal," said Alvin.

"Yes," Calder nodded. "At least that is what Sir Ragnar told me anyway. Apparently he encountered a monster within the Druid's Training Cave."

First thing in the morning, Calder went to Ragnar's laboratory in order to discuss the condition of his son.

"It is called the Ancient Revenant," Ragnar explained as he began mixing one of his own concoctions. "It enters into people's minds and then transforms them into whatever they instinctively fear the most. It is quite a powerful curse. In Sir Gael's case, his worst fear was becoming the Powys younger version of himself, that much is obvious just by looking at muscular build of his."

"So is there any way to release my son from this spell?" Calder pleaded.

"Yes," Ragnar smiled.

"Then how?"

"What is the method of removing it?" Alvin asked.

"Well, the thing is it's actually a kiss from the one he loves."

Gael was still quite upset after what happened to Fraudrin. Strange as it must be, the fact remains that the Demon had effectively became his father through most of his life. Amber had decided to look after him and brought him to her chambers.

"I feel sorry for Mr Demon," Gael cried.

Amber laid next to him like a big sister and then pulled the bedsheets over him. "Ah, chair up, Gael, don't cry." She then pulled him close and hugged him. "Do you have any idea how worried I was about you?"

She then kissed him on the forehead and the second later she screamed.

"G-Gael? Your back," she stuttered.

Gael had indeed reverted back to his normal muscular form, but there was one big issue. You are now completely naked and facing Princess Amber.

"Lady Amber? What happened to me?" he said confused.

Clearly he was unaware that he was completely naked and Amber was practically staring at his manhood.

Gabriele then immediately rushed in when she heard the screams. "Lady Amber what's the matter…?" She stopped when she saw Gael just sitting there completely naked and got completely the wrong idea. "Now, Shock Bomb!"

Poor Gael suddenly found himself being hit by a massive explosion and went straight out the window.

Hiccup and the others were back at the Black Dragon, which was now partially rebuilt.

Toothless they there on the floor groaning. "Man, my back is still sore from a battle."

"You're lucky enough to be alive," said Snotlout folding his arms. He then looked towards Eret. "So you're the new barkeep?"

Eret shrugged as he cleaned a tankard. "It's a living." He then looked at Ragnar curiously. "So, Sir Ragnar are you going to restore this place as well?"

"That isn't my job," said Ragnar.

"He's right, we have to fix this place up with our own hands," said Hiccup.

Ragnar then looked at all them seriously. "Let's get back to business. We may have won the fight, but we can't let this victory go to our heads so let us plan our next move. What we know right now is a large number of Dragon Knights and civilians stricken by the Commandments have fled to the south. In other words, the Ten Commandments next wrong hold is the capital, Xeovell."

Ruby was deeply concerned about Gustav. "Poor Sir Gustav."

"That kid is not going down without a fight," Hiccup reassured her.

"Yes, I guess that's true," said Ruby not looking completely convinced.

"The fact is the momentum is now on our side," said Astrid. "Thanks to this one battle we have managed to split the Commandments in two."

"But not all them," said Snotlout folding his arms. "Shanna is still alive, you know what that means. Melascula of Faith, isn't dead yet either."

Snotlout wasn't wrong, Shanna had entered into a deep coma after Snotlout dealt with Melascula. She was now sleeping soundly in a room within the Palace and she had been that way for the past month.

"How is that possible? You ripped all of her hearts out and snapped her neck," said Ruffnut.

"For once, these Demons just stay dead," said Tuffnut.

"Demons are extremely hard to kill that Commandments are no ordinary Demons," said Astrid plainly.

"She's not the only Commandments still kicking," said Ragnar. "Zeldris of Piety, Gloxinia of Repose, Drole of Patients and Estarossa of Benevolence. Each of these Demons still pose a threat, if we rush into battle we are sure to be defeated."

"We have already lost so many good people along the way, I'm afraid will be lacking in overall terms of firepower," Eret added.

"That is true, we have lost quite a few warriors," Ragnar agreed. "But…"

Ase was standing in front of a pond, she was still quite upset over the loss of her brother.

"Dammit all!" she yelled swinging his sword at the pond. "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit all! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I'm so stupid! I've let myself fall for man that didn't love me back and make trouble for everyone! Still… brother saved me… my brother what now?"

Her face was now covered in tears and one of these tears trickled down her cheek and then suddenly froze.

"What am I going to do!" she yelled as he slammed his sword down upon the lake. A split second later heard he is around her face immediately froze when she opened her eyes she found that the lake had also been frozen.

It didn't take her long to figure out that somehow she was able to turn into her brother's magical power she looked at her hand in amazement.

"This is… This is the same power that Olaf has," she said stunned. A small smile then appeared on her face when she realised what she had to do. "I understand brother and I promise to keep trying, to be a better Dragon Knight than you."

Ragnar had a feeling that all this strategy new powers would be awakened and they may very well using the stronger than the ones they lost.

"Powers can be created from such losses," said Ragnar looking at all them. "That is the way the world has always worked. We can't be too hopeful, but neither should we give up on hope either."

"I think we can live with that," said Hiccup. "And now that Eret is back with us all that is left to do is to join forces with Heather and Fishlegs."

Heather and Fishlegs were currently in the King's Forest along with Dagur, Zalpa and his two children.

"I'm glad that everyone is enjoying themselves," said Fishlegs as he watched Sol and Della playing around.

"It's all because you were allowed us to be here," said Heather looking at him.

"Once were finally all united, we can make a strong stand against the Ten Commandments," Hiccup continued. "Now that we have effectively cut them in half we should stand on much more even ground."

Everyone raised a tankard of mead agreeing with his statement.

Ruby smiled as she looked at Hiccup. 'Hiccup, no matter what happens. No matter what enemies we'll face I know that'll do everything in your power to keep us safe even if you have two entered the very gates of Hell.'
