for the reviews and the follows!
Oochya- Thanks for the compliment! I'm working on the length of the chapters, and I'm excited too! By the way OC means original character or I think a made up character. True that is dangerous maybe I should've said THINK instead of WANT but I'm curious as to what people want.
For the two of you (who were my first reviews) asking for more OK!
Hiccups P.O.V
The storm had gotten significantly worse over time, the wind, the lightning… Wait! I'd seen this before! But where? No, I just had to get back home, or at least to an island close to it so we could wait out the storm.
"Hey Bud," I said, leaning over slightly to catch his attention, "Let's hurry it up before this weather gets any-"
CHZZAAPPP! A lightning flash misses me by inches
"Worse!" Now I realized why it was so familiar! A thundering, metallic sounding screech sounded on the horizon. I had to say, it did make sense though with the number of new lands being discovered rarer breeds of dragon, such as the skrill, were becoming easier and easier to find.
"Let's go, Bud!" We sped up and were closely pursued by the shadowy figure.
The full majesty of the dragon became clear as it turned charged its strike and shot towards them in fuming violet furry.
"We don't have time for this!" I yell, Toothless churring back his agreement.
CHZZZAPPP! Another blast.
"Toothless!"
We dodged again, this shot barely missing, the air a few centimeters away becoming super charged.
"Two shots down, two to go," I think to myself. Trying to recall anything that could help us, but almost nothing was known about this reclusive breed. Just then, it appeared in the open air in front of us, in all its electrifying glory.
A voice cried out below me, "All hands to your marks and prepare for rough seas!"
My eyes flick downwards, spotting a boat being tossed around by the worsening waters.
"Well, Bud, this just got a whole lot harder."
(Y/N) P.O.V
First came the wind, an icy chilling gale that clawed at you through your layers of clothing, ripping away what little heat you had left.
"All hands to your marks and prepare for rough seas!" You yell, fearing te rough seas.
You nod the affirmative to the crew before beginning to make your way towards the cannons. An earsplitting crack drags your eyes up and in just enough time to see a dazzling form flash across the sky, followed by a dazing shock of lightning.
"What the?" You inquire as you had never seen anything as big or bright as...well, whatever that was.
"Dragon!" A crew member cries out, sending the rest into a panic.
You barley even register what they said, just barely having enough time to yell "Back to work!" before another noise, a terror inducing, whistling noise, to which the men responded, "NIGHT FURY!"
"GET DOWN!" They all ducked down, hiding their heads from an unknown terror lurking in the sky, behind railing and barrels.
"What form of madness is this!?" You yell, your voice barely carrying above the howling winds. The intensity of the rain began increased, and once agian your eyes are drawn upward, and, aided by yet another flash of lightning, you catch a glimpse of a secind beast swooping downwards. "There's a man riding on that one!" You shout, pointing him out, only to see Edward jump atop the ratlines.
"(Y/N)!" He called out, almost desperatley, "We need to get these sails furled. We can't have them torn to bits, now, can we?"
"No, that we can't." Just as you start climbing upwards, an oversized strike of lightning races downwards, nailing the middle sail, lighting it ablaze.
"Well then." Kennway looked furious!
"(Y/N) you better get the crew below deck."
"What about you?" You question.
"(Y/N) you may not understand this, but NO ONE and NO THING messes with my ship!" He cries out at you.
Wherever that, what was it, a dragon? Well wherever it was from, it had better start running, because when Kennway gets mad, well, not many have survived.
"All hands below deck!" You shout and turn to Kennway "I, however, will be staying up here to assist you."
"I thank ye, (Y/N), I'll get up there and stop that fire. You get up there and see just where those overgrown lizards are."
"Aye Cpt. Kennway!" You climb up to the top of the secondary mast and activate your eagle vision, which then flows outward from you in a wide pulse, illuminating all beings dragon or otherwise in an array of brilliant auras. The crew (with the exception of Maria who was a light red, no surprise there), the dragons, actual dragons, and the boy on the one, however, was another story entirely. The first one was bathed in lightning, lit up in a bright white while the other was more of a pale, electrifying blue… confusion apparent on your face you make your way back down and man the catapults instead.
"ARE YOU MAD?" Kennway screams into the wind, it barely carrying, "I WANT TO KILL THE THING, NOT SIT HERE WITH IT ON MY SHIP!"
"Look at it, I mean, really look at it!" You yell back.
"Fine but you owe me big!" He replied after a few seconds.
You both run to the catapults, slipping and sliding in the freezing rain and ocean water as you go you continue to throw glances up at the creatures from time to time, both appearing to hover in the air, ccarried aloft by the rouge currents.
"Who is that boy and what the heck was he doing on a dragon, let alone this far out to sea?" You wonder, arriving at the catapults and loading them. Taking a quick, deep breath, you fire and … you hit one! …but the wrong one… "Crap, I'll never hear the end of this one."
Hiccups P.O.V
SCREECH!
"Hold on, Bud!" Another blast of lightning flies past us as we try to protect the ship and push back the skrill.
"Ready Toothless?" We tuck into a barrel roll before turning up and around, using Toothless's new flaps for extra aerodynamics, making it as if gravity has no meaning. "NOW!"
Toothless launched a plasma bolt towards the skrill and CA-FWOOSH! It exploded across an electric field in front of it.
"This isn't working, now what?"
There was a distinct sound of wood and rope tightening, the sound of a launching catapult, making me turn the saddle.
"NOW what!?"
Then I saw the net.
"Well… perfect, Toothless move!"
Just as I began to move, the weighted ropes snag onto his legs and guiding wing flaps, rapidly entangling his wings after that, finally causing us to fall towards the ship.
CRASH!
We were both on an aged deck, our fall "softened" by two barrels of 'fresh' fish.
"Ughhhhh." I moaned, attempting to disentangle myself, quickly remebering my knife and making short work of the ropes. When I finally did realize not only was the skrill gone but most of the crew had disappeared as well, most likely below deck. Grabbing my fire sword, I activated it, walking forward and saw you standing there hand outstretched holding a sword of your own.
"Who are you and why did you shoot us down?" I was angry and I was going to get answers one way or another.
End of chapter.
Ooh he sounds ticked. Hope you can talk your way out of this one.
Thanks for reviewing! Hope you like the new chapter!
Thanks to Dunecat, my bestie and favorite beta ever!
