Drago was still trying to break through Hiccup's stoned shield and Hiccup did know how much longer he could hold.

"Come on out, Hiccup! You can't hide in there forever!" Drago roared as he fired a powerful fire blast against the stone shield.

Astrid and Snotlout were still on the airship and the little soul had caused a massive amount of confusion amongst the air fleet. However, a few airships were still flying and was still torching the ground, Astrid knew they had to do something and fast.

Astrid and Snotlout were running towards the rudder and Astrid began to explain her plan to him.

"Snotlout, Metalbend the rudder so that it jammed in a turning position," Astrid instructed. "The ship will spiral and slam into the others."

"Got it," Snotlout nodded.

He then spat into his hands and then rub them together, he then began to pull the rudder causing the tail to bend. There was a sudden jerk within the airship as it suddenly turned towards one of the last few remaining airships and slammed right into it.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're a genius in developing Metalbending," said Astrid as she looked at Snotlout.

Snotlout looked at her smugly. "I am the best."

They then slammed into another airship and by this time the men inside the airship began to investigate what had happened. They saw an Imperial Firebender poking his head out from the hatch and saw them.

Astrid and Snotlout quickly ran forward just as he fired a burst of flames and they were forced to slide down the airship. Astrid quickly pulled her axe with one hand and grabbed Snotlout's hand with the other and they began sliding down the airship. As it had manages slow the descent, but they continue to fall and landed on one of the platforms and there was a massive crack in Astrid's leg.

Astrid's right leg was now broken, but the moment Snotlout was dangling in midair and she was doing everything she could to pull him up.

"My leg," Astrid winced she then looked at Snotlout. "Hang on, Snotlout."

"I have no intention of letting go," Snotlout panicked as he looked to the ground below him.

Suddenly Imperial Firebenders appeared either side of them and they were prepared to deal the final blow. Then just as one of them was about to fire Astrid pulled out a dagger and tossed it at one of them knocking him off the platform, she then used her battleaxe to slice right through the platform holding the other Firebender.

Astrid then watched as her battleaxe began spinning towards the ground and disappeared from view.

"I liked that axe," she sighed.

Astrid looked up and saw more Imperial Firebenders standing before them and they were preparing to fire. There was no way that she could stop them this time and she looked down at Snotlout, who was now slipping.

"I don't see a way out of this one, Snotlout," said Astrid as she looked at him.

Snotlout looked at her. "It's been an honour fighting Empire thugs alongside you."

Then suddenly the Imperial Firebenders ran off and Astrid looked up and saw that the airship was flying towards them. It slammed right into the bottom of the airship and Astrid dropped Snotlout on top of the before she rolled over herself. Astrid winced in pain as her leg touched the airship and the two of them were still bewildered about what had just happened.

"How did that happen?" Snotlout stared in disbelief. "Who saved us?"

Astrid looked up and smiled. "Fishlegs."

Fishlegs was pulling down on a rope that connected to the rudder and guided the airship just in time to save the two of them.

Meanwhile on the ground, Drago was still trying to penetrate the stone shield that surrounded Hiccup. With one powerful blast he caused the stone shield to roll towards one of the stacks and then kept up his mirage at close range. He then got a real close and unleashed a powerful burst of flames that reached all the way to the top of the stack.

Hiccup was beginning to lose energy, there was no way he could keep this up along. Then Drago jumped back and began to harness as much power into his arm as possible and then slammed a powerful fire blast right at the shield smashing it to pieces. Hiccup shielded himself from the flames by creating an air shield, but he was being pushed back towards the stack and then a small rock struck him in the small of his back, right where Devi had struck him.

Hiccup's eyes widened as the presence of a lightning bolt ran through his entire body. Somehow that little strike reconnected him to the cosmic force. He was now buried within the rocks and Drago approached the rubble preparing to deal the final blow.

"Come on out, little boy," Drago smirked. "You're about to be—"

Then suddenly a hand shot out of the rubble and grabbed his beard, Drago's eyes widened as he saw a pair of glowing eyes staring at him from the rubble. Hiccup then emerge from the rubble and it soon became apparent that he was now back in the Avatar State, Drago attempted to break free with a blazing site chop, but Hiccup not to decide on a split second causing the flames are shut up into the air.

Hiccup then immediately slammed a powerful air palm right into him and Drago soon found himself flying through the air and he was sent flying right into a stack. He then fell to his knees, something that had never happened before, he then looked up and saw Hiccup directly above him with some sort of wind shield covering him.

Flames then immediately shot out of Hiccup's mouth, hands and feet and Hiccup soared upwards. Drago had never witnessed such power and witnessed as the flames smashed several stacks to pieces and got caught up in the maelstrom along with the water in the lake. The flames then circled around Hiccup's windshield, Hiccup then clenched his fist forcing the rocks to contract inwards and then joined the flames forming a circle and then finally the water circled around him and entered the air shield.

Drago just stood there as Hiccup floated in the air now more powerful than ever.

Meanwhile at Meridian, the Dragon Riders were turning the tide in the Empire forces were finding themselves completely overwhelmed.

Spitelout had tunnelled his way deeper into the middle ring and then found himself surrounded by tanks. They immediately fired upon him, but he quickly shielded himself with a stone barrier. He then lifted several rocks into the air and sent them flying towards the tanks preventing the Firebenders inside to fire any more shots.

Spitelout then immediately lifted several stone pillars beneath the tanks and flying into the air. Once they hit the ground they were soon stacked like a tower of cards and the men inside exited from them with painful headaches.

Bjorn had made his way to the Palace which now had a tapestry bearing the Empire emblem upon the front gates. Bjorn pointed his fingers at the tapestry and fired several flames burning it to ash, rereading was now free from the Empire.

Meanwhile Drago found himself facing against a fully powered Avatar and the tide soon turned. Hiccup was now the one on the attack and he flew down straight towards Drago and he soon found himself slammed against the air shield.

Hiccup then fired a powerful air blast that sent him flying and he kept up his pursuit. Drago saw this and tried to pull away from him, but Hiccup nearly flew over the stacks and then fired several small stones like darts from one of the stones circling around him.

They fired with such speed that completely decimated the stack maze, but Drago was able to avoid getting shot. However, Hiccup was soon back on his tail once again and showed no signs of giving up the chase.

Things at the Empire capital were not going so smoothly, Eret was badly injured after taking a lightning bolt to the chest. This only left Heather and the twins to deal with a crazed Devi, who clearly had no restraint.

Eret was still alive, but that last attack had taken a toll on his body and he was barely able to get up and let alone stand. Heather attempted to dash over towards him in order to heal him, but Devi fired a fire blast writing her path.

Devi then immediately fired a lightning bolt towards Heather and the twins quickly tackled her to the ground before she was shot.

"Thanks," she said at the twins.

"No sweat," said Tuffnut.

"And people think that where crazy," said Ruffnut as she looked at Devi.

Eret found himself utterly useless as Devi continued to assault Heather and the twins.

Devi then landed on the roof of the temple and looked down at them.

"I really rather that someone from the Empire would look after Eret if you don't mind," said Devi as she fired a bolt of lightning at them.

Heather quickly bended water from the canal in order to block the attack and soon she and the twins were hidden by the steam. Despite not getting a clear shot, Devi continue to fire fire blasts through the steam and having the twins quickly jumped for cover behind several pillars.

"Eret, you don't look so good," Devi laughed.

Heather leaned her head at had from the pillar and saw Devi firing another bolt of lightning at them. She and the twins quickly jumped out of the way before the pillar was destroyed and then Heather bended water from the can now and attempted to strike Devi. However, Devi had vanished from the roof in nature than seconds to realise that she had snuck behind them and was now speeding towards them with flames shooting out of her feet and hands.

Heather decided to draw Devi's attention as she was the only healer among them and use the water from now to create an ice ring in order to skate to safety. Devi fired several blast immediately melting the ice and evaporating most of the water. Devi then slammed into the ground unleash a powerful burst of flames towards Heather, who finally skidded to safety and found herself at some graters.

Upon looking down she found that the grates had water directly beneath it and then saw some chains hanging from a pillar and that gave her an idea. Devi finally found her just as Heather took the chains and she was looking furious.

"There you are you filthy peasant," she said as she advanced towards her.

Heather waited for the opportunity to put a plan into motion and then immediately fired several strings of water from her gourd. Devi rolled out of the way and was now directly on top of the grates and then was prepared to fire some lightning, but Heather lifted her arms upwards causing the water to encase them and she immediately froze it.

The two of them were now encased in ice staring at one another. Heather, however, was not trapped, she nearly breathed through her nose causing the ice around her to melt. She then began to melt more the ice and wrapped the steel chains around Devi's hand and guided it towards her other hand.

She then melted the water further allowing her to move towards Devi's other hand. She had a hold her breath while she tied the chain to the grate. Devi was now free of the ice and she tried to resist, but there was very little she could do in this position as the water would distinguish any flame she produced.

Once Heather was sure that Devi was fastened tightly to the grate she released the water and the two of them gasped for breath. Heather then tightens the chains to make sure they were fattened properly and then rushed over towards Eret.

During all the commotion the twins had managed to reach Eret were doing their best to stabilise him. Heather then began to heal the wound on his chest and managed to ease his pain, still found it difficult to move but he was no longer in agony.

"Thank you, Heather," said Eret weakly.

"I think I'm the one who should be thanking you," Heather smiled.

The twins then helped him up.

Devi had watched the entire scene and immediately began breathing fire like a dragon. She kept on rolling across the ground breathing fire evaporating the water and finally had a mental breakdown. It was clear that after everything that had happened her mind had finally snapped the twins just looked at one another while Heather turned her head not able to stand aside and Eret just watched.

Meanwhile Drago had found that the tide had turned, he soon found himself as the prey and Hiccup was now the predator. He desperately tried to put as much distance between him and Hiccup as possible.

Hiccup then caused to stacks to slam into one another right in his path causing him to make a sharp turn in order to prevent colliding into them. A split second later, he was struck by a massive burst of water coming from a nearby waterfall and fell to the ground.

Before he had a chance to recover, Hiccup went straight through the stack he was leaning against and then began to plummet towards him. Drago then immediately fired a powerful burst of flames at Hiccup at the same time as he launched himself into the air.

Air barrier was stronger than before and was completely unfazed as he slammed into the ground. Hiccup didn't waste a second and soon was in pursuit of Drago once again, who then tried to launch a counter-attack. He flew behind the stack to hide him from view and immediately landed on another stack and performed a spinning side kick.

Hiccup however brought to stacks together shielding him from the attack and then parted them away continuing his chase of Drago. Drago launch into the air again and Hiccup fired five fire blasts towards him and he began zigzagging in order to avoid them.

Drago soon reached the stack and then launched flames out of both hands and his right foot at Hiccup. However, Hiccup launched three strands of water the flames and a powerful gust of wind, the water distinguish the flames before they could even touch him and the wind blast slammed right into Drago. It was so powerful that he was pinned against the stack which began to crumble by the wind pressure and then sent him spinning out of control.

Drago regained control and desperately tried to fly away from Hiccup fearing for his life as nothing was stopping him, he went straight through the stacks one by one to continue his pursuit. Hiccup was now close enough and began to bend the water which began to sliver around Drago and then he tightened his grip causing the water to quench against Drago.

He then spun him into the air and then slammed him into a stack and then hover directly above him. Hiccup then raised his arms and clenched his fists and immediately the stone began to encase Drago's hands and feet trapping him in place.

Drago soon found himself on the mercy of Hiccup and that was a frightening thought as he hovered above him.

"Drago Bludvist, you have devastated the balance of this world and now you shall pay the ultimate price!" Hiccup roared, though his voice sounded as if hundreds of people were speaking at the same time.

Drago had never felt feel like this before and watched as Hiccup combined all four elements into a single spear. It rose into the air and began to plummet towards Drago, who quickly closed his eyes not wanting to see the end. However, Hiccup's eyes return to normal and the attack distinguished causing both the water and the stones to land on top of Drago.

Drago opened his eyes wondering what had happened and saw Hiccup lowering himself and landed. Then Drago's stone shackles crumbled freeing him and he felt exhausted and battered from his fight.

"No," said Hiccup not looking at Drago. "I am not going to end it like this."

"Even with all the power in the world, you are still weak," Drago growled and then dashed towards Hiccup.

Hiccup, however sensed his movement and then raised his foot in casing Drago's right arm in stone as it fired a fire blast. As a result the blast went straight over Hiccup, he then made his way over to his left and Drago try to strike him with a blazing back fist with his left arm, but Hiccup in case that in stone as well. He then lowered the stone manacles to the ground and Drago attempted to brief fire, but Hiccup blocked it with his own Firebending and then placed a hand on the middle of his forehead and over his heart.

Drago then suddenly found himself in some sort of trance and was unable to move. Hiccup then began to concentrate remembering the lesson that the Foreverwing taught him.

'In the era before the Avatar, we bend not the elements of the energy within ourselves,' he said as Hiccup and the Foreverwing's eyes glowed bright green. The Foreverwing had taught Hiccup most ancient technique so ancient in fact that there had been no recorded records.

Hiccup then looked up and blue light exited from his eyes and mouth at the same time red light launched out of Drago's eyes and mouth. Hiccup's body then began to be covered in a bright blue light and Drago's in a red one. It was almost as if it was a clash of spirits and Drago's spirit appeared to be consuming Hiccup as the red light began to spread through his body.

'To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be under bendable or you will be corrupted and destroyed,' the Foreverwing warned.

Hiccup's blue light was slowly being distinguished and soon the only light was that in his right eye. However, just as it was about to dim Hiccup's head launched forward and a massive array of blue light shot out and covered not only his body, but Drago's as well. A bright blue light then immediately shot out towards the sky as if it was some sort of beacon.

When the light finally faded away, Hiccup felt drained, but not as much as Drago. Drago found himself free, but he was finding it difficult to move. He then attempted to blast Hiccup with a fire blast, but he found that he couldn't bend.

"What—what did you do to me?" Drago demanded.

"I took away your Firebending, you can't use it to hurt or threaten anyone else ever again," Hiccup explained.

Hiccup then turned his attention onto the burning forest and once again he activated the Avatar State. He then began to lift the water upwards distinguishing the flames and everyone on the damaged airships that littered across the land went to high ground as quickly as possible. Once the flames were distinguished he returned the water to its normal sea level.

Then Ragnar and Toothless landed on the stack.

"Good job," said Ragnar.

After the others soon arrived with a commandeer airship, Snotlout and Fishlegs were helping Astrid as they made their way onto the stack.

"You did it!" Astrid cheered.

"You should've seen yourself, it was amazing!" said Snotlout enthusiastically.

Fishlegs then made his way over to Drago. "So, did you… you know finish the job?"

"I'm still alive," Drago grunted and Fishlegs retreated.

"I learned that there was another way to defeat him and restore balance," said Hiccup looking at them. "I took his bending away."

"Wow, how taught you that?" Astrid asked.

"A Foreverwing," said Hiccup casually.

Astrid shook her head. "You have the most craziest adventures."

"Crazy or not it did the trick," Ragnar smiled. "Plus you guys were able to stop the air fleet, I say this was an overwhelming victory."

Astrid then limped over to Hiccup. "But there's still one thing left to do."

Eventually Haddock's Comet faded away and would not be seen again for another hundred years. It was also the sign that the war had finally come to an end and a new era was built to begin.

Eret was in his chambers getting himself prepared for the announcement, but he was finding it difficult as he was still badly wounded from his battle with Devi.

"You need some help with that?" said a voice.

Eret turned and his eyes widened as May stood there in the doorway. "May, you're okay. They let you out of prison?"

"My uncle pulled some strings," said May as she helped him with his robe. "And it doesn't hurt that the first ever Prime Minister is your boyfriend."

"So does this mean you don't hate me anymore?" Eret asked looking at her.

May blushed. "I think it means, I actually kind of like you."

The two of them then kissed, but when they parted she looked at him firmly. "But don't ever break up with me again," she warned tapping his chest with a finger with every word.

Eret smiled awkwardly and they embraced.

Everyone had gathered in the Palace courtyard and all the prisoners that took part in the invasion were now freed.

Heather was making her way through the crowd with Astrid, who was now wearing her Empire clothing though her leg was bandaged and she now had to use a walking clutch to get around. Then Heather's eyes laid upon her father and brother immediately dashed towards them.

"Dad! Dagur!" she cried.

Heather immediately jumped into their arms.

"We heard what you did, I am the proudest father in the world and your mother would be proud too," he said smiling at her.

"He's not the only one who is proud of his daughter," said Sigrid as she approached Astrid. "I only wish that your father could see you now."

Mala then appeared with Throk and her Defenders in tow.

"The Defenders of the Wing," Dagur smiled at them. "Nice to see that you're back in uniform, how does it feel to be free?"

"It feels great," said Talia as she made her way past the warriors and wearing the outfit.

Dagur stared at her. "You're not pretending to be a Defender again are you?"

"It's fine," Mala assured. "She's one of us now."

"Seriously?" Dagur stared.

"Yeah, we really bonded in prison and after a few mana blocking lessons they said that I could join the crew," she said as he pulled two defenders towards her. "We're going to be best friends forever."

Eret was making his way down the corridor of the Palace where Hiccup stood there in his ceremonial armour and Ragnar was now wearing the clothes of an Air Monk.

"I can't believe a year ago my purpose in life was hunting you down," said Eret as he looked at Hiccup. "And now…"

"We're friends," Hiccup finished.

"Yeah, we are friends," Eret nodded awkwardly.

Ragnar smiled at the two of them. "There's only proves that enemies can become friends given time. We might have ended the war, but I'm afraid that our struggle has only just begun. The creation of airships now means the world is far smaller and the Air Nomads are practically extinct, but I'm confident that we can heal the world together."

"Spoken like the words of a wise monk," said Valka as she approached them. Valka was now wearing her Royal outfit.

It had been decided that Valka would become Regent until Hiccup was capable of producing an heir. This would allow Eret some time to form a more stable government and start on repairing relations with the Earth Kingdom, who was now under the rule of Atali.

"I still can't believe a year ago I was frozen in a block of ice," Hiccup sighed. "The world is so different now."

"And it's going to be even more different, we'll rebuild it together," said Eret.

"I believe that your public is awaiting," said Ragnar gesturing to the door.

Soon all them made their way outside, Eret was the first one to exit the Palace and was immediately welcomed by cheers from the crowd. "Please," he said raising his hand. The real hero is the Avatar!"

Hiccup then emerged and was welcomed with even more cheers and Astrid just couldn't help but smile at him as he stood there.

Eret and then made his way to the podium and looked at everyone. "Today, this war is finally over!"

Everyone cheered abruptly even the citizens of the Empire.

"I promised my uncle that I would restore the honour of the Empire and I will," said Eret firmly. "The road ahead of us is challenging, 20 years of fighting has left the world's scarred and divided. But with the Avatar's help, we can get it back onto the right path and begin a new air of love and peace."

Valka then stepped forward. "Since my son cannot take up the mantle of Emperor, it falls to me to rule in his place as a regent and my first order of business is to establish Eret as the first Prime Minister of the Fire Empire."

Immediately everyone cheered, because this marked a new era of peace and tranquillity. Both Hiccup and Eret stood there basking in the cheers of the crowd.

The moment Eret had time to get away from his duties, he immediately made his way to the prison on the outskirts of the city. He then made his way to a cell where the world's greatest war criminal sat.

Drago narrowed his eyes as Eret entered. "I should count myself lucky, the new Prime Minister has graced me with his presence in my lonely prison cell."

"You should count yourself lucky that the Avatar spared your life," said Eret bluntly.

Drago scoffed.

"Banishing me was the best thing you could have done for my life, it put me on the right path," Eret continued. "Perhaps your timing in here can do the same for you."

"Why are you really here?" Drago asked curiously.

"Because you're going to tell me something," said Eret as he leaned in towards him. "Where is my mother?"

Several weeks later, when everyone finally managed to get a break from their duties, they all met up at Bjorn's reopened teashop. The city was now back to life before the occupation and some kids were even playing with the power of tanks that Spitelout had created.

"What are you doing, Hiccup?" Astrid asked noting that Hiccup was sitting alone at a desk.

"I'm creating a portrait so that we can remember the good times together," said Hiccup.

Heather looked at the portrait. "It's very impressive."

Snotlout frowned. "Can you make me a bit more muscular?"

"Everyone's a critic," Hiccup grumbled.

Everyone laughed.

Astrid looked at the portrait and couldn't help but notice that Hiccup had an arm around her waist and looked at him slyly.

"Getting your hopes up are we?" she asked.

Hiccup turned bright pink. "You could say that."

Astrid shook her head and then pulled him into a kiss and everyone remain silent as they went into a passionate embrace.

After the war ended, everyone began doing what they did best in rebuilding the world. Hiccup and Eret soon found themselves at odds when the colonies of the Empire refused to move and in the end it was agreed to create a fifth nation and for this they had to work with the new Earth Queen.

Astrid became a general in the army, despite the fact that she was a non-benders and about 10 years later she finally married Hiccup and gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Snotlout stayed in Meridian in order to help with reconstruction and eventually married one of Atali's trusted advisers and then he created a unit of metal-benders.

Ragnar was given the hardest task of recreating the Air Nomads and soon discover that he had a fan club, he quickly saw their potential and organise them into air acolytes as the first step to restoring his nation and then finally married Heather. Heather became a very powerful political figure and soon created a world ban on blood-bending as well as equal rights for women across the world.

Ruffnut and Tuffnut went back to the South Pole and continued their mischievous pranks and began telling wild stories of their journeys. Fishlegs soon found himself wondering the world publishing his manuscripts of his journey with the Avatar and became a dutiful historian on the Avatar. Dagur became the next chief of the Southern Water Tribe and eventually married Mala, it was thanks to his leadership that he moulded the Southern Water Tribe in two capable warriors.
