Hiccup launched himself at Acnologia using the combined power of the Dragon Slayers to finally put an end to him.

Acnologia himself was about to attempt to block the attack, but then suddenly he found his body unable to move.

"I can't move," he said.

"That would be because your flesh form is currently in lockdown," the Chronicler smiled. "The power of every single Viking has mobilised you."

Acnologia could only watch as Hiccup jumped into the air.

"Hiccup!" Alvin yelled.

"We're giving you everything we've got!" said Eret.

"All of our power!" Rogue yelled.

"It's up to you!" Sting yelled.

"You've got to make it count!" Cydor yelled.

"Take him down!" Valka yelled.

"Hiccup!" Merrill screamed.

"Leave it to me!" Hiccup yelled as he channelled all their magic into the form of a sword. "I'm ending this right now!"

He then swung the flaming sword right down towards Acnologia, who was unable to move. Acnologia was unable to move his body, but he was able to adjust it just so that he could block it with his left arm. However, he then remembered that Ingeel tore his arm away leaving him defenceless against this one attack.

To that end, he could do nothing but watch as the attack struck in with an incredible force and this time he actually felt the attack. The attack was so fierce that it destroyed many of the crystal towers, shattering them to pieces and Acnologia himself was sent flying into several towers and was finally defeated.

The golden flames around Hiccup's arm dispelled and he stood there triumphant, knocking the Dragon King of his throne.

Acnologia was still rolling across the ground and then he felt his body disintegrating. "I need more… more blood… more destruction… more pain and tears. I must… I must destroy everything… I must… I will… by my hand. I will take it all… I'll have everything."

"Nobody can have everything and that is why you should treasure what you do have," said Hiccup looking at him. "Don't be greedy, for me, I've got my friend so I don't need anything else."

Acnologia just looked at him in shock as his entire body disintegrated and for them since he took his crusade against the dragons he had found peace. "I understand… you are truly worthy to be called King."

Hiccup shook his head. "I don't want to be the King of anything."


Back in the real world, everyone watched as Acnologia's body shattered and Inferno fell onto the deck of the ship without a trace of blood.

"Incredible," Astrid stared.

"It's like he just shattered," said Adelaide.

"The Dragon Shield has that kind of power?" Heather stared in bewilderment.

Ragnar shook his head. "No, it's them."

"Go, Dragon Slayers!" Toothless cheered.

"Hiccup and the Dragon Slayers won," Ruby cried.

Everyone then burst into cheers, because now finally the war had come to an end.

Then suddenly appearing in a burst of light with the Chronicler and behind her were Hiccup and the other Dragon Slayers.

"Hiccup!" Astrid cried immediately rushing towards him and wrapping her arms around him.

"Hey, Astrid," he smiled.

Everyone began to embrace the Dragon Slayers and the celebrations reached a new threshold.

"Please tell me that it's finally over," said Ruby.

"It is," said the Chronicler. "That said there will be many more challenges on your road, but after what you've accomplished I'm sure you're up to it. However, I'm afraid this will be the last time we'll see each other."

Hiccup looked at her. "What you mean?"

The Chronicler smiled. "Take care of yourselves."

She then vanished.

"What was that about?" Astrid frowned.

"No clue," said Hiccup as he wrapped his arm around her waist. "But I would like to get back to the Guild, there's something that I need to do."


The war may be over, but it did come with a terrible cost and the members of Dragon Tail along with their friends returned to Berk to give their former master proper sendoff. They had made about drifted out towards the sea.

"May the Valkyries welcome you, and lead you through to Odin's great battlefield," said Gobber. "May they sing your name with love and fury, so that we might hear it from the depths of Valhalla and know that you have taken your rightful place at the table of Kings. For great man has fallen… a warrior… a leader… a father… a friend."

Hiccup then raised his hand and then fired a plasma blast at the ship setting it alight, everyone watching remained quiet and many of them had tears Snotlout included.

Hiccup then looked at all of them. "My father gave everything for those under his care and always have fond memories of him as he gave each of us something special drive… wisdom… even a family. I will strive myself to follow in his footsteps to the best of my abilities, but in truth, no one can be that great… that brave… that selfless but I will try. Long live Stoick the Vast!"

"Long live Stoick the Vast!" everyone cheered.

Astrid then approached Hiccup. "Whatever you decide to do, I'll stand beside you."

She then kissed him on the lips.

Ruby just smiled. 'Today marked the end of an era, but perhaps, more importantly, it was the first day of a brand-new one.'


It was soon winter, snow had fallen across the city of Berk and the street were completely jammed packed with people. That was because today was the day that the Guild Master of Dragon Tail was going to get married.

At the newly built temple, a whole crowd of people were gathered as a ceremony between Hiccup Haddock and Astrid Hofferson was taking place. Hiccup looked very handsome in a black tuxedo, but what was really breathtaking was Astrid in her wedding dress.

Ragnar was acting as Hiccup's best man and they were waiting at the altar as Astrid made her way down the aisle with Gobber giving her away. Behind her were Ruby, Heather and Merrill acting as her bridesmaids and they looked quite beautiful themselves.

After the ceremony, the reception took place within the Guildhall and unsurprisingly there was a lot of ruckus as everyone partied and drank.

Ruby just laughed as she stood there. 'So much as happened and it's been amazing. My dream had finally come to reality, I published my first book which won an award. The book itself didn't make me fabulous or wealthy or anything, but it was a lifelong dream come true.'

"Ruby," said a voice behind her. Ruby turned and saw Sapphire approaching her. "I hear congratulations are in order."

Ruby smiled at her. "Hi, Sapphire."

"And you have more success in due time, I'm sure of it."

"Thank you."

'Sapphire is still within our era, which is a good thing. Meeting my distant ancestor was kind of strange, but I really enjoy visiting her every once in a while. She's teaching school in a little village now.'

Ruby looked and saw that both Fishlegs and Ruffnut were rather close, their relationship was a bit of a shock and unexpected. Ruffnut then whispered something into Fishlegs' ear and his eyes immediately widened.

Ruby eyes widened as she caught a single word in that conversation. 'I'm not sure, but then I hear the word baby? Nope, probably my imagination.' She then saw that Merrill was as red as a beetroot as well. 'Wait, Merrill's hearing is amazing and she's freaking out.'

"What's wrong?" Sapphire asked.

"No, nothing is wrong," said Merrill quickly.

'Merrill and Stormfly go and visit their friends in Thor's Hammer quite a bit these days, they even talk to her about bringing the Sea Sisters for the Thanksgiving Festival. And the best thing is that Shanyla is able to use magic again, just a little bit at a time but it makes us so happy.'

Ruby then looked at Ragnar and Heather, who had now started a relationship with one another and they were currently talking with Hiccup and Astrid.

"You just go and enjoy your honeymoon, we can look after the Guild," Ragnar assured them.

"It's in good hands," said Heather.

"It's the bad hands are more worried about," said Hiccup as he looked towards the twins.

"While the always look at us when he says that?" Tuffnut asked looking at his sister, who merely shrugged.

"If you get into any trouble you know you can reach us," said Astrid.

"For once you to just relax, we've got it handled," Ragnar laughed.

'Ragnar and Heather aren't the only couples out there, Snotlout and Rubbella had coupled up as well. Though they argue more than any couple anywhere in the world.'

Ruby then made her way to the newlyweds.

"It's about time you two got hitched," she said.

"We were a little busy with the war on the horizon," Hiccup reminded her.

"It was certainly an interesting year, to say the least," Astrid agreed.

Astrid's eyes then turned towards a man standing in the corner who was smiling. That man was none other than Jellal.


'More good news Jellal and his Guild no longer wanted criminals, after the war, the King of Septem abdicated recently. Which meant that Princess Mala took over as Queen, she had immediately begun work on diplomatic relations with Alvarez and doing everything she can to make the kingdom prosper. To that end, she granted Jellal and the other members of Crime Sorcière amnesty.'

Jellal and the rest of his guild were kneeling before the Queen after she had just made that proclamation and to say they were shocked would have been an understatement.

Jellal just stared at her. "Your Majesty, are you saying…"

"Amnesty? Really?" Maarva stared.

"It's what I've heard," said Cydor.

"What's that mean?" Orara asked.

"Our crimes are forgiven," Salazar explained.

"I never thought I'd see the day," said Dagur.

"Same here," Yeren cried.

"Highness you do realise, we were in a Dark Guild," Shiva pointed out.

"I am aware of that, I know about your past but you have realised the wrongs that you've done and you're atoning for your sins by working towards to make tomorrow better for all of us. You must continue that service and live on," she said.

All of them smiled at one another, now they no longer had to remain hidden within the shadows.

"We'll live on," said Jellal.

'Dagur decided to leave the Guild and stay within the capital where I hear that he got pretty close to the Queen. Jellal and the rest of his guild were given their freedom and Astrid was completely over the moon when she heard.'


Valka approached Hiccup. "Your father would be as proud as I, son."

"I know," Hiccup nodded. "I just wish he was here."

Valka placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "He is, inside all of us."

Ruby continue to smile. 'I don't know what the future will bring, but it sure going to be a wonderful new age.'


Outside of space and time, in a cavern that was completely covered with books and with the giant hourglass in the centre stood the Chronicler.

"Be welcome friend," she said as she looked through a book, which was floating in mid-air, which had images of the wedding. "I have long been expecting you… A new age is beginning… with each new age, a worthy soul is chosen to chronicle the many triumphs and failures of that age. This has been my duty for over 1000 years and now, Ultear, I pass this on to you."

Ultear emerged from the shadows looking like her former self. "I am honoured, but what will happen to you?"

The Chronicle smiled at her. "I will be reunited with my loved ones, but do not be sad for me. This job is not for the faint of heart, as you will be forced to watch everyone turn to dust."

"I know the cost and I don't mind a long wait," Ultear smiled.

"Then it is time for me to pass the torch," so the Chronicler presenting her with her staff.

Ultear grabbed the staff and immediately the Chronicler began to glow when then vanished and she found herself wearing her robes. She then turned towards the book and smiled at the images of Dragon Tail.

"I wonder what awaits for you next," she said.
