As the battle raged on at the Dragon Sanctuary, Mala and the Strike Clan spotted several ships on the horizon, a Black Guard pulled out a telescope and yelled for a Mala. "My Queen! Berserker ships inbound!" Mala growled, she had unfinished business with Cutthroat, the coward not only hacked off Hiccup's leg but has been responsible for hundreds of innocent deaths.

Mala and Shadow walked down the steps to the clans square, she saw all the elderly, women and children; anyone who couldn't fight being taken to the throne room while Black Guards, Dragon Riders and Corps and along with every Night Fury one this island that can fight. "My Queen." Mala turned to see one of the best Black Guards approach her, he bowed and pointed toward the heavens. "There's a storm approaching from the North and there's something you should see about these Berserker ships." The guard pulled out his telescope and handed it to her.

Mala looked at the ships and saw that lighting was being... drawn in? No. By the ancients no.

"My brothers and sisters! Hear me!!" Everyone turned to face as rain began to fall. "The Berserkers have a Skrill in their arsenal and with this storm, they are going to use it to fry our home into a burning crisp. If it comes it... take the Skrill down. Who knows how many lives it's been forced to take." Everyone nodded and manned their stations.

The watchtowers catapults were the first line of defense, the second line was ballista launchers hidden in the rocks surrounding the island, and if the Berserkers cut through all of that, then its down to holding them off in the clan itself. Mala didn't know if the Berserkers had the Red Death in hand too, she prayed that they didn't, none the less, the battle was about to begin.


(Berserker fleet)

Dagur stood at the deck of his command ship with Shocker at his side, he was more than ready to show his enemies the power of Thor right at his very fingertips. His appearance had changed during the last five years. Dagur's hair is cut short and sticks up, and he has a short, shaggy beard. His arms are more muscly, as he has been working out during the time he's been in hiding with the rest Drago's forces, he also wore brown leather and metal tunic with a Skrill chest plate, as well as new knee pads and has two arm pads.

Cutthroat's appearance too had changed, his hairstyle was a man braid, he had a light beard on his face and his armor of choice was a brown, short-sleeve shirt and a tan and purple tunic with metal studs. His left arm is covered in purplebindings, with a large one on his forearm and a spiky elbow pad, and his right arm has only a leather strap. He has metal shoulder and knee pads, and a large, gold belt buckle with his crest, a Skrill, on it.

"Cutthroat. Lead the ground forces, I'm gonna take Shocker for a ride." Dagur grinned evilly, his cousin nodded as the Berserker Chieftain climbed on top of his Skrill and they headed toward the Isle of Night. Cutthroat grunted and ordered Vorg to charge the command ship toward the island, he wanted to feel his enemies blood hot upon his cheek.

"My brothers! Today we wipe out our enemies and bathe in their blood! And we will conquer the Night Furies and add them in our arsenal!!" The Berserker soldiers roared in approval and raised swords and spears high in the air; eager to spill their enemies blood.

As the Berserker warships charged, the Strike Clan watchtowers began firing flaming catapults, the Berserker ships attempted to evade, but to no avail. Several ships got ripped in half; splinters and men went flying in the air, and to keep up the pressure, the Strike Clan fired their ballistas and the heavy spears shot straight through the ships belly, sinking the ships much faster.

Cutthroat had a shield out and blocked a ballista; the sharp spear piercing the wood and nearly taking the Berserkers eye out by a mere inch. Cutthroat breathed in relief and threw the shield and drew his sword and yelled at Vorg. "Stay on course!! We will push through and spill our enemies blood!!" Despite taking a hammering, the Berserker command ship pushed through all the Strike Clan defenses until they landed on the beach. "Follow me my brothers! ATTACK!!!" Cutthroat roared as he grabbed another shield and soldiers joined their second in command.
