A/N Hey! One more chapter! :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Stormfly flew forward, Astrid furious for Hiccup getting himself caught, and angry with Viggo for capturing him.
"DRAGON RI-" before the man had even finished his sentence Stormfly lands on Viggo's ship, matching the description of As-red instead of Astrid.
"Viggo." Astrid yells angrily gripping her axe tightly as she stares at the man. "Where's Hiccup?" She demands and Viggo just smiles.
"Astrid, is it not?" Viggo asks and Astrid shoots him a withering glare ignoring the Dragon Hunters around her as they lift up they're weapons preparing to fire. "I have a offer for you." Viggo says and Astrid snorts.
"This should be good."
"As you've learned about the Dragon Eye, you have come across small lenses. Im willing to trade Hiccup for the lenses and stop an attack on your base." Viggo says edges of his lips almost twisting into a smile as he sees several emotions jump across Astrid's face.
"Where is Hiccup?" She growls and Viggo holds out a hand to prevent Ryker from advancing on the girl. Saying nothing Viggi steps to the side allowing Astrid to see behind him.
Astrid's grip on her axe falters as she stares at the Haddock boy. His arms are chained above his head, he's pale and his left leg is bent at an odd angle. Bur the most concerning part to Astrid in the bits of wood sticking out of him like small darts.
"What. Did. You. Do?" Astrid growls managing to bury down her need to break Hiccup free switching to distract Viggo and then rescue him.
"I didn't fo anything. Personally." Viggo says and a voice behind Astrid makes her go rigid.
"Brother Hiccup always has had a longer tolerance for pain. It took a while to snap it." Dagur says and Astrid turns looking at Dagur standing a few feet away. This was a bad idea. Astrid realizes with a soft sigh she glances at Hiccup again.
Viggo walls closer like a wolf finishing the hunt and Astrid backs up grabbing Stormfly's saddle and pulling herself on it. "Not interested." Astrid says refuting to Viggo's earlier offered deal and Viggo's face remains stoic.
"Your actions will have an affect on those around you." Viggo says and Astrid shrugs.
"I like knowing everyone I care about is in immident danger. Helps me with target practice." She says before Stormfly leaps into the air.
"FIRE! Are you letting her get away you idiots!?" Dagur screeches but Astrid had already closed the fifty foot gap between herself and Dragons Edge.
"They have Hiccup, and they want to make a trade. The lenses for Hiccup." Astrid reports as she lands looking at Snotlout and Fishlegs.
"I can't believe you didn't get fired at." Snotlout says and Astrid shrugs.
"Hiccup told me once the longer you keep them talking before leaving abruptly is the best way to go." She says and looks back at the ships.
"What do we do? I don't even know how the twins traps work!" Fishlegs says and Astrid sighs heavily.
"I'll do aerial defense. You two find Meatlug and Hookfang and stay on the Edge." Astrid commands.
"Got it." Fishlegs says with a thumbs up.
"Hey, is it just me or is the sky on fire?" Snotlout asks and points forward. Fishlegs and Astrid imminently follow his finger.
"No way. Are those-" Astrid starts.
"Fireworms." Fishlegs finishes.
"Well that's just great." Snotlout deadpans. Astrid leans down on Stormfly.
"Were going to have to deal with them later." Astrid says and before either boy can answer Stormfly takes off into the air.
"YOU HOO! WE TOTALLY BROUGHT YOU SOME FRIENDS!" Tuffnut yells and Astrids eyes widen and she looks forward again scanning the huge amount of Fireworms.
In the front was Ruffnut and Tuffnut, Smidvarg and the other Night Terrors grouped together as the Fireworm Queen, "Now! Attack!" Tuffnut cries and Stormflg backs up as the Fireworms dive down to the huge armada. As soon as they're hot skin touches the wood it bursts into flame.
Astrid stares dumb struck slightly as the army foes from large and frightening to a massive fireball in a few seconds.
"See? We know what were doing." Tuffnut days as Barf and Belch fly next to the Hofferson girl.
"We always do." Ruffnut says grinning, pleased exceedingly with Tuffnuts plan.
"Oh no." Astrid breathes staring at the boats hands flying to cover her mouth.
"What?" Tuffnut asks.
"Hiccup was on those boats!" She shouts and Stormfly dives sensing her distress. Through all the burning ships she catches a sinking one, Viggo looking quiet stunned and surprised as he abandons ship.
"Hiccup!" Astrid yells and looks at the mast he was tied to realizing that something must have freed him, whatever it was Astrid wasn't sure whether to praise or curse. Hiccups limp body fell off the tipping boat landing with a splash into the waters below.
"Hiccup!" Astrid yells waiting for him to resurface even though he wont. "Hiccup!" Astrid screams growing desperate. The twins fly up next to her dodging several Fireworms shooting by.
"Okay. That looks a lot worse up close." Tuffnut says and Astrid stands on Stormfly preparing to dive after Hiccup but doesn't need to. At that moment, Hiccup clutched in his claws Toothless explodes from the water with a furious roar.
A/N Yay for Toothless! Next chapter will be out in a minute or two.
