How To Train Your Dragon: Blood of Berk (Fantasy United)/Issue 1

This is issue one of the titular series.

Transcript
It begins with the comic showing around Berk as Hiccup narrates.


 * Hiccup: (VO) This is Berk. Many years ago this beautiful island was in a war. A war against what you may ask? Dragons. However, thanks to me and my dragon, Toothless, we taught all of Berk to embrace dragons. All was going well until my father sacrificed himself. And (sighs) his death is only the beginning of my story…

It cuts to a remnant of Drago Bludvist's Dragon Trappers doing an operation as suddenly someone pops behind two of them as he whistles.


 * Trapper #1: Who are you!?
 * Snotlout: Your worst nightmare! Hookfang now!

It is revealed Hookfang is behind them as it grabs them and gives a roar as it throws them off the ship. The other of Hiccup's friends reveal themselves as Toothless gives a roar, firing his fire breath as the trappers start running. Suddenly, Stormfly fires her needles at the trappers as Meatlug swings its tail around, knocking several trappers down. Barf breathes green gas as Belch activates it, creating a controlled explosion as one trapper remains as he fires a crossbow at Toothless, yet Hiccup jumps down, revealing his flame sword, as he knocks out the last trapper.


 * Hiccup: Phew, the less of Drago's forces the better.
 * Astrid: I don't get why they are still doing work for a deadman?
 * Fishlegs: Maybe he's not dead?
 * Hiccup: That's impossible. They likely either don't know he's dead or know they don't need Drago for their operations. Anyways we should return home.
 * Ruffnut: This ship stinks anyways.

They hop on their dragons as Hiccup pets Toothless. While in air, Astrid flies closer to Hiccup.


 * Astrid: Hey Hiccup, are you okay?
 * Hiccup: What do you mean?
 * Astrid: Your dad died a few weeks ago and you're the new chief of Berk. Are you sure you're fine?
 * Hiccup: Of course I am!
 * Astrid: Hiccup, be honest.
 * Hiccup: I am. I'm fine. I just need to focus on saving dragons. That's what matters.
 * Astrid: Let's just hope you won't push anything to the side.
 * Hiccup: I won't! Trust me.
 * Astrid: I hope you're right.

Soon they arrive in Berk as they land their dragons as Hiccup gives a sigh.


 * Hiccup: Home sweet home.

Suddenly he notices a ship docked in the harbor bearing a different insignia than the one from Berk as Eret runs in, clearly looking for Hiccup.


 * Eret: I finally found you!
 * Hiccup: What's that ship?
 * Eret: That's what I am trying to tell you. Remember when the Fire Nation sent a letter asking for you to go to the Fire Nation to make an alliance?
 * Hiccup: And I said no.
 * Eret: Well, the Fire Nation decided to bring the Fire Lord to you.
 * Hiccup: Tell them to bring the Fire Lord back to the Fire Kingdom.
 * Eret: I don't suggest that. Just see what the Fire Lord has to offer. We need to start making alliances.
 * Hiccup: Okay, fine.

Hiccup enters the Chieftan's ball as Ozai is already sitting on a chair as Hiccup does too.


 * Ozai: Chief Hiccup Haddock. I heard a lot about you. Especially how you were responsible for the death of Drago Bloodvist.
 * Hiccup: A friend of mine said you wanted to make an alliance.
 * Ozai: I am laying a simple deal. The Fire Nation will give Berk protection from invaders, if you generously donate us a few hundred trained dragons.
 * Hiccup: What?!
 * Ozai: Your dragons, Hiccup. What's the harm in letting a few weapons go?
 * Hiccup: Weapons?! You see dragons as weapons?!
 * Ozai: What else would they be? Pets?
 * Hiccup: Companions. They are companions.
 * Ozai: The alliance is off. When Berk burns down to the ground, everyone would know who failed it.
 * Hiccup: It won't go down to that.

Ozai leaves the room, with a look of hatred on his face.
