How to Train Your Dragon x World of Warships: Defend the Hidden World!

[ThatEpicTexan]

Ahoy, World of Warships captains! Today, I'm unleashing a proposal so epic, it'll make a Kraken do a backflip: a "How to Train Your Dragon" crossover/operation event! Yes, you heard me right! And before you ask, yes, I know this idea has been floated before, but let's be honest, those previous attempts were about as exciting as a wet fish. This one? This one's going to be a fire-breathing, harpoon-dodging, sea-shanty-singing spectacle!
So, what kind of event are we talking about? Historical? Space? Anime? (Please, no more anime y’all) NO! We're talking about a full-blown, dragon-defending, hunter-blasting extravaganza on the high seas! Picture this: you, your trusty warship, and a squadron of dragons facing down hordes of those scruffy, dragon-snatching scoundrels!
How will this glorious event play out on the digital seas of World of Warships? Well, grab your spyglass and prepare to be amazed! Let's dive into the Operation:

Dragon Escort Missions: Toothless and his crew need backup! We'll be navigating treacherous waters, dodging harpoons, and maybe even teaching those hunters a thing or two about dragon etiquette (hint: it involves fire).

Hunter Ship Showdowns: Unleash the full fury of your broadsides! We're not just sinking ships; we're sending those hunter fleets to Davy Jones' Locker with a dragon-sized bang!

Special Dragon themed Camouflage and Flags: Because who does not want to sail with a toothless inspired camo?

This isn't just an operation; it's a LEGEND in the making! So, hoist the sails, load the cannons, and prepare to unleash the dragon-saving fury!

Phase One: The Unlikely Alliance

Get ready, captains, because this isn't just a battle; it's a desperate defense of the very cradle of dragonkind! We're reimagining the familiar operation format, twisting it into a heart-pounding struggle to protect the Hidden World. Imagine: a "Defense of Naval Station Newport" rebrand, but instead of a naval base, we're safeguarding the mystical Hidden World itself!
Grimmel the Grisly and Drago Bludvist, those vile dragon-hunting fiends, have united their forces, poised to obliterate the Hidden World once and for all. Hiccup, Toothless, and their dragon riders are overwhelmed, their backs against the wall. But a glimmer of hope emerges: Toothless's offspring—Ruffrunner, Dart, and Pouncer—have found unexpected allies... YOU!
You and your team, wielding the might of battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers, are the last line of defense. Unleash the thunder of your broadsides and show these dragon hunters who truly commands the seas! Fight for the Hidden World!
Here's how the action unfolds:
The Arrival: We plunge through the fog, guided by Toothless's offspring, only to be met by a shocked Hiccup. He pleads for our aid. Then, a familiar voice booms through the comms—Commander Jenkins is BACK! He'll be coordinating our defense, ensuring we're ready for the onslaught.

Defensive Formation: Your team takes strategic positions at the entrance to the Hidden World, bracing for the inevitable attack. Astrid and the twins burst from the fog, warning of the approaching enemy. And then, they arrive: a swarm of dragon hunter ships, unleashing a barrage of fireballs!

Waves of Fury: Your warships unleash a devastating counterattack, tearing through the enemy ranks. Riffnut and Tuffnut's chaotic cheers echo through the air, while the other dragon riders provide vital support, harassing and damaging enemy vessels.

The Boss Wave: After four intense waves, the ultimate challenge arrives: a colossal dragon hunter flagship, commanded by a ruthless captain. He demands our surrender, but we'll give him only fire and steel! Every gun, every dragon, every ship focuses its power on this behemoth, culminating in a spectacular explosion that signals victory!

Counter-Attack!: With the Hidden World secured, Commander Jenkins orders a counter-offensive! It's time to take the fight to the dragon hunters, to push them back and ensure they never threaten the Hidden World again!

Phase Two: Dragon Hunter Island - The Trap is Sprung!

Following the trail of a crippled dragon hunter ship, Commander Jenkins leads your fleet to the heart of the enemy's operations: Dragon Hunter Island. Hiccup, ever the strategist, volunteers to scout ahead while you and the dragon riders hold back. But the silence is shattered by a chillingly familiar voice: "Oh, Hiccup... how foolish of you to return."
Grimmel the Grisly, standing atop his flagship, reveals himself, his presence a horrifying surprise. Hiccup, his voice trembling, demands, "How?! How are you still alive?!" Grimmel's laughter echoes across the water as he unleashes his trap, ordering his fleet to open fire. The damaged ship was a lure, and you've sailed directly into Grimmel's waiting armada!
This is a desperate fight for survival! Chaos erupts as more ships materialize from the fog, unleashing a relentless barrage. Your destroyers must lay down thick smoke screens, cloaking your battleships as they brace against the onslaught, acting as living shields.
Four waves of intense combat ensue, punctuated by taunts from the dragon hunters, Grimmel's chilling pronouncements, and Commander Jenkins's furious commands. Every ship in your fleet must fight tooth and nail to survive.

Finale: Grimmel's Fall - Victory at Sea!

With the fourth wave obliterated, the final confrontation begins. Grimmel's flagship, a behemoth of steel and malice, charges directly at your fleet. This is it! Every gun, every torpedo, every ounce of firepower is focused on Grimmel's vessel.
The battle rages, the sea churns, and the air crackles with explosions. Finally, after a devastating barrage, Grimmel's flagship begins to buckle. His final, enraged screams are cut short by a colossal explosion that rocks the ocean.
Silence descends, broken only by the cheers of your crew and the dragon riders. You've done it! Not only have you defended the Hidden World, but you've also vanquished Grimmel the Grisly once and for all!

Do not really know the Films (After googling what it even was) or even if this kinda of Colab would appeal to 40+ year olds Like myself who have no connection to it!!!??

I would however recommend joining the Official Discord and at least posting it under the ideas Section!! I am sure if people support it enough and like the Idea WG Can at least ASK to see if it is possible, but again always expect rejection due to the way colabs work!

Good Luck!
