Jumper opened his eyes for the first time in over a couple Militia. He coughed a couple of times and tried to sit up but the pounding of a hammer in his head wouldn't allow his body the proper relief. When he coughed dust soot and other parts of the earth came out. He looked down at his body and saw that he was naked except for his silver vambrace which could never be removed. After a full minuet Jumper decided to get up despite his body's protests.
It took an effort which made Jumper very unhappy. He was always the strongest. Always the smartest. Always the most skilled. Though most of the other Knights might have been better in speed or strength. Or abilities. Though no one on the face of this green planet was better with dual weapons then him. Besides that he was the Jack of all trades in everything else. A expert everything but he was not the best. Not the best person with fire. Not the best person in dragon form. Though lying on the ground helpless fueled him with determination.
Jumper rose up opening his bright silver eyes and looked towards the direction of Berk. He was near Berk but he was on a different Island. He was on a different island and using his heightened scenes he smelled into the wind the smell of Mutton, smelly Vikings and a abundance of many other things which made him gag. Jumper had a thing for human meat, yet he only partake in that sweet succulent meat was only when he was attacked by Bandits or other evil people. He had never hurt a innocent person just to satisfy his desire for human.
Jumper then started walking towards the town completely naked. Behind him was a patch of black soot covered ground still steaming from his return. (I got inspired from Terminator 2. the begging and the Bar Scene.)
Jumper walked for a full day and it was nighttime when he managed to see the village in the distance. He was not embarrassed in the least. They were just humans and he was a Dragon Knight. Though the need for cloths was only to keep stuff hidden such as knifes or poison. And he still needed to keep warm. If he was at full strength the fire in his soul would keep him warm but at the moment there was barely even a Spark. He could not hear Draco and his annoying chatter about the difference between Toads and Frogs or the many uses of Dragon Scales. Or the Poems he composed when he met some female Dragon when he was in his Prime. Some of those gave him nightmares and sent shivers down his spine. Stupid perverted dragon.
As he walked at his constant pace he was wondering what year it was. How long he was in that slumber. But of course if he was awoken so were the slayers. They weren't as strong as him so it would take longer for them to appear. Though he could worry about that in the future. If he was weak so were them. A year until they were at full strength. Could he create a army of Dragon Knights by then. Doubt it. It was another hour until he was in the village. No one was out at the time and the smells made him gag again but he suppressed it again. He saw some activity in one of the buildings.
Though Jumper was familiar with a multitude of building he couldn't help but notice that the buildings were made out of a wood and has a thatched roof. That was old. He was used to more advanced stone buildings. It seems this civilization is less advanced then what he was used to. He opened the door to the building and walked in. Sure enough people started staring at the naked teen who just walked in.
The first thing that Jumper noticed is that all the people were heavyset and big. Jumper himself was skinny with thing lean arms which looked like they had no muscle. But they did had muscle. He could probably rip the door off its hinges with as much ease as they would have with a branch on a tree. The men caught his gaze with a challenging look while the women traveled down then he heard another voice say in a odd language that he did not understand. "Hey lítil seiði. Þú skilur betur áður en ég geri þér." (Hey small fry. You better leave before I make you. this is Icelandic )
At first Jumped did not understand. He stood there with a blank look but soon enough he heard the sounds of all the other Vikings talking and his dragon mind took it all in and he started to form words in his head. Then sentences. The other vikings, the ones that had talked to him moved up to his face and started saying something and at that time he fully understood Icelandic. He smiled then looked at the man. He was about the same size as Jumper height wise. He was wider both broad in his shoulders yet his legs were close to jumper. Probably the best match in the whole room.
Jumper replied in Icelandic "give me your cloths, your ax. Everything and you wont get hurt." The men looked at each other and then started to crack up and said out loud to everyone in the building "hey did you hear this guy. He wants me to give him my cloths. The Chiefs son no less. Ha!" Everyone else started laughing and the guy then grabbed Jumpers neck and squeezed and said "now your gonna get a beating of your life freak." Jumper couldn't suppress it anymore and grinned grabbing the guys hand and squeezed his wrist and twisted it until a snap was heard. He then kicked the man in the chest with such strength that he was sent flying over the table and hit the fire pit and rolled over it. Some coals landed on his body which caused him to cry out rolling on the floor.
His friends didn't know what to do and did only thing vikings were good for. One of them picked up a crude chair and brought it down on Jumpers head. Jumper turned and caught the chair and ripped it out of the guys hand causing his arm to get dislocated. Using the momentum of his pull Jumper spun around and the chair hit another guy in the face. This time a taller broader viking tried to punch Jumpers head but jumper deflected the blow and grabbed his fist with his right hand and twisted his arm and then broke his arm with his left elbow. Seeing that as not enough damage Jumper's leg shot out and hit the side of his and broke his leg at the ankle. Several men rushed at him with axes but he disarmed them with quick strikes with his palm.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a guy strike with a knife that looked like it was taken from the kitchen. A normal man could not have had the reaction time nor the speed to dodge it but Jumper was not normal. He spun and grabbed the blade with his hand. They guy showed a look of pure surprise on his face. Jumper who still had not changed the look on his face bent the blade back until it faced the guy and brought his palm back and striked the now bent blade which sent the blade deep in the mans chest. He screamed and fell down.
Jumper felt a sharp pain of his head and saw bits of wood going all around him. He was leaning forward and the men thought he was about to fall. Jumper had just taken a chair to the top of his head. Jumper then stood up and turned around a few cuts on his head. He heard gasps all around the room. They were staring at his head because the cuts had already started to heal up. Within ten seconds the wound was as good as new. Not even a scar was left. The Vikings then backed up with pure surprise and fear in their faces. Jumper looked around and saw that three vikings were not moving. He could not hear their hearts and saw that their necks were broken. It seems that his blows to their diaphragms broke their necks also. He had to watch his strength. There were about two of them that were crawling away with broken bones. Some of them had broken wrists and were staying well away from him. Some of them had swords and axes out.
Jumper turned and started to walk toward the Chiefs son (this is a different village.). There were some people there trying to help him but they soon parted ways for Jumper. Jumper stood over the Viking and looked down at his now burned face. His left eye was swollen and red, looked like he would be blind in that eye. There was a lot of good smelling blood all over him but it was overpowerd by the nasty sent of alcohol and viking stench. "your cloths." Jumper said in their native tongue. The guy tried to back up and he pulled out a ax at held it like he was going to throw it but before he could react Jumper snatched the ax and tossed it in the air and caught the handle expertly and brought the ax down. The blade landed a mere centimeter from the mans crotch to his relief and everyone's surprise.
(in Berk)
Hiccup was sitting on Toothless's neck with both of his feet to one side. His hand was on his partners neck and toothless was purring contently as they watched the sunset. "i wonder whats its like." Hiccup said. Toothless looked at his human then back at the sun. "you know to see new places. New people. Lets go back bud." Hiccup suggested and swung his legs back to their appropriate places. It took a while but he managed to get his prosthetic leg in place without any trouble.
Without any warning toothless took off the island. They have been visiting the island where they had killed the queen at. Every time toothless saw that the island it made him wince. He had caused his friend to lose his leg. He had only meant to pull hiccup close to him. Not rip his leg off. The taste was in his mouth for a day afterward and he still thought about it to this day. Is this how his human felt when he shot his tail fin out.
Toothless angled towards berk and couldn't help but notice the smell of blood in the air. It wasn't coming from Berk. It was coming farther South. Another village Maybe. It wasn't long till they were at Berk causing toothless to land. He bended his knees and let Hiccup get down and they walked back to Hiccups house. Hiccup had his hand on his dragons neck and the dragon had his tail almost around the human.
(back at the viking village)
Jumper took a step outside and started to walk towards Hiccups village. He had on the classic viking outfit minus the helmet. He hated headgear ever since he became a Dragon knight. He left the metal armor and just kept the material. On his back he had a ax, it wasn't his normal one. That one was locked up somewhere. He knew where it was and he sighed. He hated going there. It made him seem more important then he really is.
Before he could take another step he heard another clang of metal and metal and he heard. "i cant let you take the boys cloths. His dad will have my head for sure." Jumper turned around and saw that there was a older guy standing there a sword in hand and the guy pointed it at Jumper.
Jumper walked forward until he was staring at the guys eyes. His silver eyes looked into the guys brown eyes. He saw that the man was practicably shaking with fear. He was probably the bartender. Probably saw jumpers rampage. Then as quick as lightning jumper's hand shot out and grabbed the sword from the man. This caused the man to look down at his empty hand. Jumper then turned around without another glance and slipped the blade in the second holster.
It was strange for Jumper to carry his weapons all the time. Usually he could just bring them out whenever he wanted to unless they were in a sealed room which was the case. If he did carry them they would both be on his back. Not one on the back and one horizontal along his hip. Jumper kept walking away.
It was then when he saw them. The Chief and his wife. As he walked he saw that the Chief was there to stop him. He even had a ax in hand. But Jumper just walked past him. The Chief and his wife just stepped aside. They just moved as some unseen force caused them to move. The other viking just let him pass also regarding him as a demon.
As he started to walk he heard the familiar voice of Draco in his head "Wow firstday out of the stone and you already are regarded as a demon." Jumper jumped. He hadn't heard Draco talk in a long time which is a rarity for him. Jumper smiled and then said back to him "hey your back. Thought you abandoned me." He felt a mental punch on his shoulder and Jumper rubbed his shoulder. "What you think I would do that. The only time I abandoned anything was to go chase after this extremely HOT dragonness . . . if you know what I mean." Jumper groaned and face palmed himself. This was going to be a long night after all.
(at berk)
"Hiccup get that devil out of here." Stoic yelled causing passer buys to turn their heads. Toothless was not allowed inside Hiccups house and no matter how many times the doors were locked or the windows were shut he somehow managed to find a way inside despite Stoics protest. Even stoic who grew considerate of dragons after the devil had saved his sons life . . . at a cost. Stoic grew angry thinking at how toothless had actually ripped the leg almost clean off of hiccups body. But if it wasn't for toothless Hiccup wouldn't be here.
"Yes dad. I didn't know he he got in here." Hiccup did a small laugh then started to pull toothless which wasn't the best idea. The dragon was under the impression that Stoic was trying to separate the two so Toothless stayed still and growled every time Hiccup pulled. "Come on you dragon. Lets go for a walk. Or we can go get some fish." There was a snort which Hiccup assumed was Toothless's way for expressing amusement.
"Hiccup get that devil out of here right now or I'm getting my ax." Stoic yelled throughout the house.
Hiccup pointed at a empty field and said to toothless and a very serious tone. "see that field toothless . . . its gonna be called toothless field. Know why." Toothless shook his head. "cause your gonna be buried there unless we get out of the house right now." Toothless's head shot back in surprise knowing the anger of Hiccups dad. He then followed hiccup and walked out of the house and when they were out of earshot Hiccup whispered to toothless "I cant keep sneaking you in. We have to find some way for my dad to fully trust you."
The duo started for the forest deciding to hang out near the cove. Forgoing the usual method of travel of flying they decided to walk. Walking always helped relieve stress and that was exactly what they needed right now. They looked up at the stars and saw the outline of a dragon. This was no ordinary dragon that Hiccup had ever saw. It had a large tail that had no fin. The tail ended in a arrowhead like blade. The wings of this great beast were huge. The body was a different shape then any other dragon. The closest relation was the monstrous nightmare. The head was a weird shape.
"look toothless. Up there. I have never seen that constellation before. It looks like a dragon, but its unlike anything that I have ever seen. I know the book of Dragons species inside out yet I know its not in there." Hiccup said looking up at the mysterious shape the stars had taken. Little did Hiccup and toothless know they were looking up at the constellation of Draco. The constellation of Draco held a significance unknown to anyone in this world.
There once was a proficiency. When the stars of Draco return bright and who again. The Dragon Knights have returned to take this world back from darkness.
Toothless looked up at the stars and grunted. That was no dragon. Toothless was the best dragon around and everybody knew it. The strongest, the smartest, the fastest, the hottest fire. He could take that Dragon. Toothless had no idea who he just declared war on.
(back with Jumper and Draco)
Jumper brought his head back and sneezed causing him to make his shoulder blister from the heat of his breath. He might not be able to breath fire unless he went all out but his breath still could cause blisters and welts. "Seems like someones already talking about you stud." Jumper bit his lip then said "no us. We're one being not two. Its that bond that makes us strong." Jumper kept walking getting closer to the village that held a large quantity of free roaming dragons, one dragon in particular.
If a Dragon Knight and his sire dragon were one, in heart and one their power would increase a hundred fold. Though that only happened on rare occasions it has happened to Jumper twice. Twice those surges almost thrust him into the dark abyss that is losing his humanity and becoming feral. Losing that would separate him from Draco. Those moments of strength are caused when going 50% power. You become half human and half dragon. One being. Jumper can go anywhere from 1 too 49% and come back without any trouble. 100% is his dragon for and there Is no problem doing that either.
"yea your right. So are we there yet. I want to stretch my wings." Jumper sighed and said to Draco "I can barely go to the point of eye change. I'm still getting my strength back after so many milinia. "So. You seem strong enough to shift. You took out those humans easy enough." Jumper sighed and then said "Yea, human. Unsuspecting ones too. Plus I need to stretch my legs just as much as you need to stretch our wings." As Jumper walked forward he then sat down to rest and then closed his eyes crossing his legs Indian style.
Jumper had meditated before yet it was always to think about a move or to think upon a new spell that he had learned. In his minds eye he saw the landscape flash by. He saw the snow storms of Berk and of the surrounding planes. He saw Berk with Hiccup and Toothless walking the streets helping out. Jumper recognized that they were helping the village with the dragons. Dragons did have a temper sometimes. He would know. The vikings were raised to fight dragons not to be companions with them now the duo had to help the people understand the dragons and work with them. But why are they acting up. Even with the ancients they were never this antsy unless . . . oh god no. Its . . . its . . . mating season. Jumper thought and tried as hard as he can to keep that thought away from Draco. He keeps on saying that's its healthy for Dragon Knights to mate with human's and Dragons. Keep the line strong he says, hell no.
Then something happened to the scene. The overview of Berk suddenly panned away to the north. Jumper saw the sun dipping down over the horizon and it soon turned a blur as it showed the days past. Then he saw it. The slayers were back. They came from the north pole with their Zeppelins and their men. Each of them capable of defeating a Night Fury with ease. Hundreds upon hundreds were there. Jumper did not know how long it was till that came to pass but he had that many days to ready Berk and prepare himself.
Jumper opened his eyes and got up feeling drained from that deep meditation. Suddenly Draco spoke up from his head "Did you see that." Jumper looked up feeling the wind in his face "yes old friend I did." Jumper walked faster determination in his steps. "I don't think we will make it through this one. That scene. It was horrible." Jumper only nodded his head in agreement.
"but the one before that was cool. You might get some action in that village. I know I would. All that fine Dragon ass." Draco said laughing because despite how many times Jumper tried to keeps certain thoughts to himself Draco had thousands of years of experience getting information from minds.
"Dear Draco. I am about to punch myself to make you shut up. You know how much I hate it when you try to take advantage of my age and of all the teenage hormones coursing through my body. Plus you and I being one only amplified them even more. I kinda leaning towards you practically forcing me to have sex with dragons or humans. Even if we are a human/dragon, I am not you . . . you pervert." Jumper said releasing his breath finally getting that out of his system.
"Well seems like someone got up on the wrong side of the cave. I'm just trying to help. You will like it. Trust me. Your almost a century old and you haven't mated once. Once you get a whiff of a dragon in heat you'll understand. " Draco said not caring in the least at the verbal threat or of the insult.
"I highly doubt that. You know we have this conversation all the time. Why don't we skip over the rest. I will think about it and lets get moving. No distractions. That means no story's of you and your mates over the years." Jumper said trying to put a end to this conversation.
"oh that reminds me. I once fell in love with a human and on the full mo-" Draco started to recall the story of his only human mate.
"OK ENOUGH. Can it right there dragon. I don't want to be scared for life." Jumper said sounding actually serious. He was so serious in face that he saw the world fade in all other colors but red was amplified and there was a background effect of all red. Plus searing pain on his bottom lip which made him wince. Through his anger he lost control and went to 5% power causing his normally silver eyes go red and dragon like. Also caused his teeth to go sharp. Jumper sighed and went back to normal and just kept on walking surprised that Draco had stopped talking for once.
(in berk)
After Hiccup and toothless spent some time alone they headed back to Berk. Even if Hiccup was finished with work in the forge he still had an important job to to do. So far only a handful of the residents of berk managed to gain the trust of the dragons. While the dragons weren't hostile the people of Berk had no idea how to handle them.
Hiccup and toothless walked down the street's of Berk and talked with people trying to cooperate with dragons. He had to step in between a dragon that was getting slightly pissed off due to the fact that the human had never spoken with the dragon before and was trying to put a saddle on it. After a minuet they finally managed to get through the head of the dumb viking that you first had to form a friendship with the dragon before you attempt to ride it.
Toothless snorted when the viking just said the Dragons were just pets. "just pets." Hiccup said looking up at the Viking and said "the dragons are not pets, they are important members of our Viking life and should be treated as such. If you want to be on good terms with a dragon you should treat it well and hope it does the same for you." Toothless's paw flexed. He was about to spring and knock the human on the ground and roar in his face for that disrespect but it seems that his human had it covered.
After a few minuets of that incident they walked back to Hiccups house. Despite toothless wining Hiccup had to keep his dragon from getting inside. "come on bud. I'm sorry but my dad said no. I will try to get him to let you in but it might take time." After a minuet of just petting the dragon and scratching him in that spot that he just loves toothless then bounds off into the distance heading for who knows where. Hiccup watched his dragon go and with a smile he closed the door and went to his bed. Right as he took off his prosthetic he jumped in his bed and fell asleep."
Toothless knew right where he was going. There was a clearing that all the dragons went too to sleep. Though it was mating season toothless made sure that he made it clear he was not interested in being mates with any other dragon. Even though toothless was mature enough he did not want any dragon cross breeds to be roaming around.
As toothless entered the clearing he saw very clearly who were the mated pairs. The ones that huddled close together not for warmth but for letting other dragons know that they were a pair. The ones that were interested in mates were just sitting down with their wings half open letting the other dragon get a good image. The ones that were desperate were walking around poking their noses in other dragons faces. Most of these were adolescent dragons, probably their first mating season. Many words and sentences of dragoneese were heard throughout the night. Most of the speech was through a frequency too high for a human to hear.
"Hello night furry. Been a while since you showed up here. Did your human kick you out." said a monstrous nightmare. This nightmare was big for its breed. It had lots of red slashed over it and its teeth looked exceptionally sharp. It has not chosen a mate and there was practicably a line waiting for the dragon to choose from.
"I told you Eridor. My name is Toothless. And no I decided that it was time to take a nap outside. I have a feeling something interesting is going to happen. And I also feel like breaking that right wing of yours." Toothless said tilting his head to the side slightly. Eridor just snorted and then just layed down. Toothless on the other hand wanted some sleep. He walked to the left of the clearing and breathed a continuous jet of searing hot flames and burned a bed for himself.
Toothless has just been sleeping for a few hours when the noise started to appear.. There were shrieks and growls and broken speech of dragoneese starting up. Toothless just huffed. It would go away in time toothless thought. When it didn't toothless rose and looked around then saw the cause of the disturbance. There was a human in the clearing and this human didn't look like any Berk viking they had ever seen.
The one thing that set him apart was the bright silver eyes. So bright that it was as if they could stare at your soul. The next big thing that stood out was that his cloths were two sizes too big for him and they looked droopy. To the dragons the human was skinny, by Viking standards. Not as skinny as Hiccup but still along the lines of Skinny.
Jumper stood there staring at all the dragons which seemed they were talking to themselves. He attuned to their sounds and heard them saying something but he couldn't pick up the words. "hello." Jumper said in Draconic. "wow that was the worst introduction ever. Good luck finding a mate now." Jumper bit his lip. He could only answer Draco by talking. Thinking the answer always hurt Jumpers head to hurt. To Jumpers astonishment the dragons looked at him curious. Its like they didn't understand.
Looking left and right Jumper looked at all the dragons that had gathered here. There was one that looked like a bird. It had a beak and everything. It was something that made Jumper wonder how dragons had evolved. Seems like they formed sub species. Then there was one that looked like a bumpy toad with acne problems. The strangest one had two heads. They looked like they had just one mind though. The only one that looked like a real dragon was a great dragon that had four legs. Its wings were attached to its front legs. It was like half wyrvin half dragon. There was one that stuck out. It was dark as night (I know the real color, but I'm making it pure black because toothless is a bad ass). Its eyes stared at Jumpers.
Then the dragons talked amongst themselves again "is he from berk."
"not sure."
"he smells like a dragon."
"Does that mean he has a rider."
"no the smell is coming from him."
Jumper stood there blinking a few times before he noticed that the dragons were speaking a language but it wasn't the language of the ancient dragons. Jumper suppressed a laugh because he just remembered where he learned this language at.
"oh- oh my. You "dragons", ah its too funny. Sorry to interrupt but where am I. And can you point me in the direction of Berk." Jumper said in such fluent dragoneese that it made the dragons seem like 3rd graders.
All the dragons stopped and stared at the human. He had just understood dragoneese and spoke it with such fluency. It was unreal. All dragons know that humans could not have learned dragoneese nor are their vocal chords able to pronounce the sounds of growls chirps and ultra high frequency sounds. "human how are you speaking dragoneese." Eridor spoke up staring at the human with malice.
"Dragoneese. Is that what you call it nowadays. Back in the day it was called something else." Jumper said walking foreward ignoring Draco's comments on the dragons in the surrounding area.
"Now you listen here human. You did not answer my question. How are you able to speak. I am not a nice dragon. I will kill you if I have too." Eridor said rising up and staring at the human with determination. Jumper looked at the dragon and knew what was going on. He was trying to impress a mate by being tough.
"ah but alas I learned this language from the creators of it . . . common rock lizards of the cost of the vanquish lake. And I do not think you are a nice dragon. You are very ugly and smell very nasty." Jumper couldn't help himself. He just had to say that. It was probably his natural instinct to go up against males when females were present. Especially when a number of them are in Heat.
The monstrous nightmare roared a challenging roar to the Human yelling "How dare you mock me. I will eradicate you from existence." And with that the dragon pounced upon Jumper who stared at the leaping dragon with bright silver eyes, and a grin upon his face.
"Let the fun begin" Jumper said.
