What's real and what's not
CHAPTER 1:
The night was calm and serene. Several clouds scattered were scattered through the night sky blocking out the stars that shine above. The only visible source of light was the light from the full moon, high up in the sky. A lone island sat their surrounded by the vast ocean. Upon that island lay a fortress. This fortress belonged to none other than Drago Bludvist
Drago Bludvist , the self-proclaimed 'Master of Dragons', had made it his life-long goal to conquer all of Dragon kind , and with that conquer the world. That being easier said than done. One problem that held him back was the ability to only be in one place at one time, and also the fact that he needed dragons for a dragon army, which brings us back to this fortress. One of many fortresses set up by Drago, it serves as a purpose to house capture dragons before Drago comes and forces them into his army.
This particular fortress however, had a very a unique dragon kept inside. Deep inside the fortress walls, in a prison deep underneath the island, a white, silvery dragon lay bonded. This dragon had four wings, two on its back and the other two also acted as its forelegs. Its hind legs were shorter than its fore legs, mainly because its hind legs only serve to help it perch on landing. It had a long tail, which split into several small tails, when the tail was together it would look like the barrel of a cannon. The main body was sleek, the dragon being no longer than 3 yaks long. Its head was flat and it had a crown of five horns on its head and one on its nose. This once great beast was the trophy Drago had wanted, apart from the night fury, and so the mighty dragon was bonded under many chains and weights in the centre of the room as to prevent its escape.
However, unbeknown to the guards and dragon trappers stationed in the tower, there were some people who were not intent on Drago keeping this dragon. Flying high above the clouds two dragons flew. These dragons were not alone as they flew. There were two black figures on their backs; one male, one female. The dragons, a windwalker and a silver phantom flew down lower to the fortress. The winged reptiles were moving down at unmeasurable speeds. The guards stationed saw them coming and had ready the defences to capture the dragons. The two easily dodged the nets, boulders and arrows. As they arrived closer to the prison they both shot out a fireball each at the catapults destroying them on impact.
As they flew over the wreckage, two riders jumped off landing alongside a few guards. The guard were quickly thrown overboard by the male or kicked off the edge by the female. The male looked over to his companion, his black scaled cloak hiding his face and most of his body, "You find Starchaser, I'm going to setup a little surprise for when Drago comes back," the male said. As he ran off the other rider, a teenage looking girl, ran the opposite way past a few guards, as she ran her body became transparent and she disappeared completely from the view of anyone watching her.
Inside the fortress the guards and trappers were rushing one after the other to secure the fortress. Every entrance was sealed, every gate shut, if any intruder were to leave it would be as a corpse. Luckily the intruders weren't your average so to say corpse-to-be. They had been monitoring this for a while and had a pretty good idea for redecorating it. As the guards rushed to stop the cloaked rider, they failed to notice the small round objects he dropped by as he dodged each of them. Objects that had very concentrated amounts of Nightmare gel. When they finally did notice it was too late. BOOOM!BOOM!BOOM! was all that could be heard as the figure ran past. Several guards managed to avoid the blast but not, the armoured fist or boot, that came into contact which of their faces. "Wow good help must really be hard to find these days, Oh well." As the boy made his way to who knows where the guards on the other side were ready and anxious to face whatever the girl may bring.
When nothing and no one came they began to get confused. "Where is she?" one guard called. "I don't know keep looking," another ordered.
"She is right there" a soft female voice called. The guards looked up, "Right wher- AH!" was all a guard could say before he was knocked to the ground. All eyes fell on the unconscious guard. No one saw what had happen but from the looks of it each guard was beaten by a ghost. "Right here, morons." The same voice called. Before a girl clad in a purple scale suit appeared. The girl looked around the fallen guards, her red eyes scanning carefully for the keys. "Looking for these," a voice called behind her. When she turned around she saw a giant hulk of a man in iron armour looking at her, shaking some keys in his hands. "Actually, I am. Can you be dear and give them me?" she asked in sweet tone. The man just laughed "Ha ha ha, that's rich if you think I am gonna give'em to you just so," the bulky man stated.
"Yes," responded before running towards him. He readied himself and swung his mace at her only to find she was gone. "What the, where did she go?" he asked. The keys suddenly shook and he looked down to see them float out the roam. "Thanks bucket head. Hope you can move in that thing." The girl's voice rang through the halls as she got further away. "I really hate kids" was all the man could say.
Deep down the dragon sealed up had awoken from the noise of what was going on above. It sniffed the air before it picked up a familiar scent. A scent it knew all too well. The pupils in its yellow eyes turned to slits as it blew smoke out its nostrils. 'Took them long enough' it thought.
As the boy was running down the hallways, he eventually reached his destination, the armoury. Looking around he found just what he needed, blasting jelly. While cannons and guns weren't used in the barbaric archipelago, mainly due to being too heavy or too weak to take down dragons, the blasting jelly was used in catapults to make them more destructive. Catapults were used more due to being cheaper and easier to build and also not as heavy, also catapult ammunition tended to be whatever was lying around. However these catapults and blasting jelly weren't going to be used in dragon fighting, more so they were going to be used in dragon liberating. The boy quickly began to work on his plan.
Meanwhile a young female was running through the holding cells looking desperately for her friend. She had opened nearly fifty cages and still no sign of Starchaser. The guards kept swarming but luckily for her there were about fifty or more cage worth of dragons eager to bring the pain. Eventually she found herself at the absolute lowest point of the fortress. "Okay this has to be it." She thought. As she opened the door to bottom chamber she was greeted with a stream of fire. Fire engulfed the girl completely covering her. When the fire died down nothing but a floating pair of red hot metal keys remained. "Well hello to you too." An annoyed voice rang from seemingly nowhere, "You managed to get the muzzle of now let's see about getting the rest of chains of you." As the voice said that, the keys began unlocking the chain. Suddenly the room began to shake. "Looks like phase three is a go. Now we have to get out of here before Scale-for-brains brings the whole place down on us." As the voice finished the keys fell to the ground the dragon, Star chaser now free turned to look at his rescuer. The girl slowly appeared in front it. The dragon let out an ear splitting roar before flying out of the room and through the fortress.
Outside the fortress the wind walker and silver phantom were firing repeatedly at different points in the fortress. Each blast wasn't high powered but were actually aimed at weak points in the buildings structure. That and they were actually weakening the defences of the building. Just as they blew up the outside catapults they saw a several guards armed with dragon root arrows. With their work done the two dragons decided to make a tactical retreat for the time being.
The soldiers let out a roar of victory, thinking they had successfully fended of the dragons. The poor fools had no clue what was happening inside the building, itself. The roars and screams of many captured dragons echoed through the building, the guards finally realising they were outmatched fled for their lives. A figure looked out at the chaos. "Well now that the collateral damage is out of the way," he opened his palm igniting a fireball, "time to send Drago a little message." He tossed the fireball up. Said fireball split into many landing on a set of catapults inside the building, all aimed in various directions, setting their loads on fire. One single flame landed on piece of rope in the centre igniting it. The figure then ran as fast possible back out the building. No sooner after he left the armoury did the catapults go off. The different sides of the building were blown to pieces and eventually the structure itself became unstable from the damage inside and out. The boy tried running but too much debris fell. A large chunk of concrete was about to fall on him but was blasted to pieces by a familiar dragon. Starchaser. The dragon had on its back the teenage girl who had a scowl on her face.
"You really couldn't have waited five minutes before levelling the place could yuh?" She asked sounded more annoyed at him, than worried about being caught under the rubble.
"Nope" he responded calmly.
"Well let's get out of here before were buried all." As those words left her mouth, Star chaser flew ahead doing a barrel roll. The boy grabbed the girl's hand before Starchaser straightened itself. With the two riders safely on its back the dragon's tail began to glow, before a burst of hot gas came out. The dragon's speed increased tenfold as it easily avoided the debris and flew out the building, right before it collapsed. " That was one of the largest forts in this side the world and we levelled it in less than three hours." The girl giggled. "Yeah well I hope Bludvist gets the message. Mess with my famil and I will pay you back ten-fold or my name is not Rush Alias." As the boy said that his stomach began to growl. "Well look like the mighty Rush Alias still needs Aliyah Storm to keep him from going to war with his stomach" the girl teased. The trio (Starchaser included) burst into laughter. As they were laughing the Silver phantom and Wind walker flew next them. After they calmed down they both jumped from Starchaser on to their respective dragons; the boy landing on the Silver phantom and the girl on the Wind walker.
"Okay Ghost let's get back to Berk. It is almost sunrise and I don't want to have an eight year old crying when I show up."
"You too Dreamhunter." The girl called patting Dreamhunter's head. All three dragons flew off towards Berk, where a young boy was now waking up. A young Hiccup.
