The Dragon Conquer (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 5: Conquer sea and land

(Normal pov)

The journey into the great beyond was filled with peril and storms the Vikings have never experienced in their lives. Hiccup and his army gathered more Vikings who wished to join them. These tribes were the Vandals, Bjmolf, and the Jormungandr tribes, all fierce and ferocious Vikings, eager for blood, treasure and adventure, which suited Hiccup just fine.

The weeks leaving the Archipelago had the Vikings speechless, they couldn't believe a whole other world existed beyond their boarders. Along the way, Hiccup and his allies had trained dragons and those bonded dragons came with their human companions, Hiccup had even created new metal, made from a Gronckle lava, but the ingredients to make were three parts limestone, one part iron ore and a giant spoon of hardened Gronckle lava; with that, Gronckle iron was created and the Vikings quickly got to work on reforging new weapons and they were shocked at how light and how strong the metal was, which would be very useful in future conflict.

Hiccup wished Astrid were with him. He pulled out his sketch book and found a sketch of her and he smiled at the sight of his girlfriend, if it was seeing her features sketched on paper, he hoped she would fare well in a Jorgenson ruled Berk. He would return and would retake his birthright from Snotlout. He swore it to all the gods in Asgard.

Though revenge would have to wait, right now, Hiccup needed to focus on surviving.

Currently, Hiccup's fleet was caught in a deadly storm; raining coming down like hail, lightning striking the ocean, and massive waves, although, lucky for the Vikings, the waves came in behind them, meaning their ships were riding the waves, they had to hold on very tight and tied down their resources to prevent it from being swallowed up by the ocean.

Hiccup raced across the deck and tied down anything of import, while being mindful not to slip and possibly fall off the ship or crack his head open. The boy bumped into Alvin and the Outcast chieftain roared over the storm.

"It'll take a miracle for us to get out of this storm boy! Thank the Allfather we haven't lost our whole fleet already!! Do you have a plan to get us out of this bloody storm?" Hiccup looked for way out and saw light on the horizon.

The boy roared to the captain of the Outcast dreadnaught. "Have the men light torches so our forces don't lose us in the storm!! We need to head toward the light, or else our entire fleet is swallowed up by the sea!!" The captain nodded and barked orders, the Outcasts sprang into action, they lit torches and waved them to their allies, the other Vikings lit torches and waved back.

The waves the Viking ships rode were very steep and when they descended back down, they'd come crashing down, the impact sending the Vikings flying, Hiccup was about to crack his head, but Toothless caught him just in time, Hiccup sighed in relief. "Thanks bud, that was close." Toothless warbled in acknowledgment and the duo felt the ray of sunlight warming their skin.

"WE'RE ALMOST OUT!!! KEEP MOVING!!!" Hiccup roared out, he dashed to anything that wasn't tied down and secured it, as did the Outcasts on deck. The lightning bolts struck the water nearby and some of the bolts nearly struck the Berserker ships, due to the amount of metal they had on board.

Finally, they made it out of the killer storm, with no casualties of men and resources, but they'd have patch up their roughed up ships. Hiccup wiped his soaked face and pulled out a telescope, he grinned as he spotted.

"LAND HO!! Captain, dead ahead." The Outcast captain nodded. "Aye sir! Making way now!" Hiccup all but collapsed on the deck and breathed heavily. That storm was the most violent, life threatening and adrenaline pulsing experience he's had so far.

Alvin blocked the son light and held a hand out for Hiccup. "C'mon lad! You're not dead yet." Hiccup grabbed Alvin's hand was pulled up, the Outcast chief wiped the still dripping rain water out of his face and exhaled. "This great beyond better hold great opportunity, after that nightmare of a storm we just went through." Hiccup rolled his eyes and swatted Alvin in the chest. "Relax Alvin, we'll make repairs to what damage has been done to our ships and explore the new world before us." Alvin grunted and walked off, barking orders to his men.
