The Dragon Master Part II: Rewritten (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 28: Personal vendetta

(Normal pov)

Hiccup held an emergency meeting with his forces, everyone gathered to discuss their plan of attack.

"Cowards! It was a snatch and grab." Calus snarled as he punched the table; skin broke off his knuckles and they start to lightly bleed. Hiccup too was furious, but now he needed to keep his cool, they needed a plan. And a good one.

His family's lives depended on it.

Hiccup pulled out the blueprints of Drago's fortress and splayed it across the table for everyone to see. "Alright, we're going to need a distraction from the front. Calus and Artemis, you two said you found a Shadow Wing nearby?" Both riders nodded and Hiccup grunted in acknowledgement. "We're going to need its bombing capabilities to create a diversion, along with a group who's willing to pair with those dragons." The Meatheads stepped up, Hiccup nodded in confirmation.

"Alright, next, once the Bogs will pair up with the Wing Maidens and attempt to release Valka's Bewilderbeast. If we have Mammoth and the former Sanctuary Bewilderbeast on our side, we can turn the tide of this war." The two groups of women nodded in understanding, though that task wouldn't be easy, considering Drago no doubt has that alpha under constant guard, but they were up to the task.

Hiccup nodded and then exhaled. "The biggest advantage Drago has besides his army is the Foreverwing. We need to remove it from the equation." Everyone nodded in agreement, Fishlegs stepped up next to Hiccup. "The Foreverwing is an alpha class too, but it's no Bewilderbeast, maybe Mammoth can persuade it to abandon Drago's cause. There's no way a dragon like that would grant Drago eternal life. Unless..."

Hiccup raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms across his chest. "Unless...?" Fishlegs looked at Hiccup finished his theory. "Unless it's waiting for someone more worthy to possess its gift. Someone like you." Everyone soon murmured in agreement and began talking about the possibility before turning back to Hiccup.

"Perhaps. But if it that's not the case, we may have no choice but to put down the Foreverwing." Hiccup said with regret in his voice, everyone wasn't fond of that suggestion, but if the Foreverwing retaliated and continued to aid Drago, they'd have no choice but to subdue it lethally or kill it. Though Hiccup hoped they wouldn't have to go down that path.

Hiccup turned to Eret and his men and smiled lightly. "Eret, I know my fathers dragon Skullcrusher has taken a liking to you but we need you to help bring in a group of Dramillions." Eret's men murmured to each other, Eret rose his eyebrows in surprise. "Dramillions are technically the called the parrots of the dragon world, for these uncanny creatures can repeat any kind of dragon they see. They have the highest shot count of any species by far. And if one runs out of heat, the rest of the pack shares their reserves." The broad man said, Hiccup nodded and smirked.

"They'll serve us well, dragons with multiple attacks will come in very handy, plus Drago's cages, chains and other dragon proof tools can be broken with a mix of Gronckle lava and Nadder magnesium besides Changewing acid." Hiccup rolled up the blueprint and placed it in his satchel.

"And what are you going to do during the attack sir?" Calus asked, Hiccup smiled and answered.

"I'm leading 'the swarm' and Mammoth into battle once the distractions have been made, I want Drago to see us take away everything from him as I take his life."

(Drago's fortress)

"Welcome to your new home." Drago turned slowly, his hand showing off the space.

"You know if it wasn't for the stench." Astrid commented. "I might would be impressed." She spat out to her... 'host.'

"What manners." He replied sarcastically. "And I've even had an extra special place done up just for you." He gestured to a pair of cells where it was obvious that the space between bars had been made smaller for human occupants.
