Hiccup flailed. "Armies! Armies of darkness! Kang, she's insane not to send backup--"

||If you are in position to be killed, immediate backup would likely be in the same dire situation and unable to save you. If you fail the mission or are captured, backup will be sent down to intercept, for a rescue attempt and an attempt to complete the mission as planned.||

"...oh."

Hiccup looked at the briefing on his omnicom again, then looked to Kang, worry in every crease on his face.

"Still, this is--I saved a village. One village. Maybe it was my whole world, but it's not the same as an actual whole world."

He would've asked 'Why me?' but the more he read about this world, the more he understood.

It needed to be as small a group as possible, a two-man--er, person, given one of them was a dragon--team. And given the information on the briefing about what had to be done, she needed Toothless to go. And he was the one that could fly Toothless the best--in fact, the only person that knew how. The gear was made for him. Backup sent on the world itself couldn't keep up with them if they went by air. Not without introducing weird anachronistic technology that wasn't supposed to be there.

Still, that didn't mean he was ready to save a whole world, that he'd have what it took when it was all on the line.
