Dagur sat on the spine of the large brown dragon known as the TimberJack. A wide grin spread across his face when he saw Ech. He then turned his attention toward Alvin and BloodFang. His smile vanished, anger filled his eyes. He would protect Ech with his life. The one girl he loved. Sharpwood steadied his flight so that Bluelight was shortly above his wings and Ech and Dagur were within arms lengths.
"Alvin!" Dagur roared his name. Alvin stared at him with a glee in his eyes. Another rider for him to kill. Oh he was enjoying this so much.
"We will defeat you here and now!"
Sharpwood flapped his large wings and spiraled around BloodFang. He breathed a hot fire towards Alvin and his dragon who dodged, but not unscatched. Ech decided to help Dagur. She couldn't just sit back and watch her friend fight the most dangerous enemy! Bluelight flew next to Sharpwood and the two exchanged locked eyes.
Alvin was trapped in a vortex of red fire. He desperatly tried to escape, but whenever he did Sharpwood would beat him back with his large wings. Bluelight decided to join in the vortex of fire with his own blue flames. He inhaled and breathed out a blue fire into the vortex. Adding more damage to the all ready wounded BloodFang who struggled now to keep flight. Alvin roared in anger and yelled at his dragon. Calling it useless wasn't fit for it to serve him. Ech gritted her teeth in anger.
"Dragons are ment to be loved! Not treated as weapons of war!" Ech roared and Bluelight flew into the red and blue vortex. Her axe ready in her hand. Once in range Ech swung her axe at Alvin's head, Alvin tried to counter, but BloodFang was trying to stay airborne and his flying was sloppy. A clean swipe. Alvin's body was still then fell over and was soon followed by BloodFang who couldn't stay in the air anymore.
Ech gripped her blood dripping axe. She had killed someone, she had actually killed someone. Tears started forming and streamed down her face. Bluelight softly landed on the bloodstained floor of Berk. Dagur landed as well and helped Ech off her dragon, wiping the tears from her face.
"Don't cry.. Don't cry. You did the right thing." He reassured her. "Hiccup would have done-"
"Hiccup!" Ech shouted and she ran towards where she last saw him. She was stopped by Dagur who grabbed her hand.
"It's okay. We managed to grab him before he fell. The NightFury too."
Ech began crying again, but not of sadness. Joy. Happy that Hiccup was saved. Happy that Berk was protected.
"Ech!" She heard her name called and turned toward the voice. It was Hiccup. He was limping alongside his almost tailless dragon, Toothless. Both were alive and well. Hiccup hurried toward Ech and wrapped his arms around her. His voice was cracked and began crying.
"I thought I was going to die. Toothless and I. But thanks to Dagur." He looks at the Berserker boy and nods. "He saved my life. I owe him."
The three continued talking on how lucky they were to be alive. The remaining Outcasts vanished once Alvin was killed. A few were captured and placed in the dungeons, one was Savage. Some villagers of Berk were wounded and a few killed. Hookfang and Meatlug were seriously injured, but with some rest they will be healed and back to normal. The people of Berk mourned their loses of both viking and dragons. While the three talked Astrid and the twins Ruff and Tuffnut appeared, looking frantic.
"Hiccup! You need to come with us, now." Said Astrid.
"Why Astrid what's wrong?"
"It's your dad... He doesn't look so good." Said Tuffnut
"Yeah and... I don't think he should be bleeding so much blood." Said Ruff with a sad look in her eyes.
"Dad!" Hiccup quickly followed Astrid and the twins down to the woods.
Ech followed to. She was worried about Stoick, was he going to be okay.. or... She shook that thought away and did not want to dwell on it. Stoick was tough. He lived through worse, from what she has heard. The Woods That Howled was silent and gloomy. Crows perched on the branches not to far from were the viking teens were. They cawed and eyed them hungrily. A few seconds later Ech and Hiccup could hear the heavy breathing of a dragon. A Thunderdrum. Hiccup rushed forward to where he heard the dragon breath and stopped in his tracks once he saw something he'll never forget.
It was Stoick and Thornado. Thornado had lost a wing, it was charcoaled black and layed limply beside him. Bite marks were present thoughout his blue body. Some have healed while others still oozed blood. Half of his tail was gone as well. Stoick wasn't in any better condition. His head was bleeding, an arm was missing a bone pierced through his chest. Hiccup felt like he was gonna vomit.
"Dad?" Hiccup said softly and Stoick turned his bloody head at his son. He smiled and beckoned him over.
"My son. Is Berk safe?" Stoick asked and Hiccup nodded, more tears pouring down his face.
"Good. I fear, my time on Berk is up.." Hiccup's eyes went wide.
"No! Dad no! You can't! Not when they need you!"
Stoick gave a small chuckle, but instantly winced in pain and gasped for breath.
"No son. They no longer need me. They need a new leader. One who can guide both vikings and dragons. They need you Hiccup." There was absolute silence. Even the crows listened said nothing.
"I love you Hiccup. Lead Berk... to a glorious future..." Stoick gave another deep breath... but he did not exhale. His body went still. Stoick the Vast...was dead.
Ech came up to her husband and placed a hand on his shoulder. He didn't move, he kept staring at his father's lifeless body. He lost his mother and now his father. How was he suppose to become chief and lead the villagers when he felt like ripping his own heart out to be with his father in Valhalla.
"Hiccup?" Ech said quietly and he looked up. Seeing Ech's beautiful face even though she was missing an eye brought joy to him. He could lead the village... Yes. With Ech by his side with Toothless by his side. No one could do it but Hiccup.
"We need to head back to Berk. I have a speech."
Hiccup and the others returned to Berk and there was already the villagers of the island waiting for him. Some of their faces showed loss of hope and despair. Many looked at Hiccup for reassurance a new leader. Word of Stoick's death traveled fast however Thornado carried back to Berk for treatment. Hiccup looked over at the people below ad cleared his throat.
"Umm... Everyone... I uhh.." He shook his head and started again.
"Everyone here made sacrifices to protect those who are important to you. Your family, your friends and even the dragons who helped us save this village. Yes, the Outcast attacked us and did severe damage, but it is something we can fix. We are vikings. It's an occupational hazard. We are stubborn. We are strong!" There were shouts of agreement. "Together... We will make a new future were vikings and dragons are truly one with another. They will protect us and we will protect them. Our buildings were burnt down, homes lost, but we can rebuild them like we have in the past. Together and with the dragons. Together as one."
There was shouts and yells of joy from both vikings and dragons. Astrid gave Hiccup a nod. Ech walked up to him and grabbed his hand. She was proud of him. The boy she fell in love with. The Dragon Master and Chief of the village and soon to be father of the child. Yes... A new future will be made, one with dragons as not only as guests. But as family and protectors.

8 Months Later
Hiccup was pacing back in forth at the front entrance of his house. Toothless stood there with him, watching his friend walk frantically. Hiccup would occassionally stop and look at the door waiting for someone to come out. When no one did he paced again. He bit his thumb, showing he was worried. Suddenly the door opened and Astrid stepped out. She smiled and nodded. Hiccup grinned and bursted into the house and ran upstairs. A baby's cry was heard.
He reached the top of the stairs that lead to his room and stopped. Slowly he walked into his room and saw Ech. Holding a small bundle in her arms. Their baby. Ech noticed him and smiled. She cradled the baby in her arms.
"Come see Hiccup. Come see your baby girl." And he did. He peed into the white cloth that was wrapped around the baby and saw it. It was fair skinned with brown eyes. It was bald like most babies, but would most likely have Ech's hair. The baby resembled her so much.
"She's beautiful. Just like you." Hiccup said.
"What should we call her dear?" Ech asked, she yawned. She was about to drift off. She was tired after delivering the baby. Hiccup thought for a moment then responded.
"Fina... Her name will be Fina."
