The Night Fury crew's journey was a long one. Left with nothing more to do, The crew took to the kitchen and began to play a game of cards. Hiccup had won twice, with Astrid tailing him with one win over the others.
The crew members eyes scanned over the cards and each other hostily as they carried on.
Hiccup was just about to unveil his Trump card in this game: a full house. But something drew their attention from their game and to the front of the ship. They rushed to their stations as a fleet of rock formations hurtled their way.
Ruff and Tuff took ahold of the two main turrets in the front of the ship , firing off at the incoming asteroids. Astrid began to plan out a thorough course that would get them through the field with little to no damage done. Snotlout and Hiccup watched from their positions, for this was truly a job for weapons and Navigation. Fish legs took the helm, guiding the ships controls throughout the field using the piloting skills both he and Hiccup had picked up at the academy.
Several scratches were heard very clearly from inside of the ship, Hiccup cringing as his ship was violated buy the rocks as they passed through. Tuffnut's and Ruffnut had begun to make a game of this, deciding that whoever blasted the most was declared the winner.
This was expected of the two twins, who were notoriously childish at the academy.
Fishlegs looked on as the course that Astrid set appeared before his eyes, he then began evasive maneuvers while flying the ship. With the Twins' shooting, Astrid's course and Fishlegs' piloting, the crew made it out of the asteroids field with time to spare.
Their destination, a lone planet in the Archipelago System known as Helheim, was in view. They landed the ship on a cliff in Helheim and exited the shop adorned in hyper space suits Hiccup and Fishlegs had created ahead of time.
They stretched out to adjust to the wearer's size and used nano technology and biochemistry to synch into the oxygen cells in the air and transfer them throughout the wearer's body, containing them inside for later usage ,and killing the need for an oxygen tank. They also included wire grips that tapped into aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum to allow the wearer's to grapple to surfaces using the hooks and wired provided in the hip of the suits.
Hiccup looked as is his black , red and silver suit glowed blue for a moment, indicating the oxygen field was active before fading from sight. He turned to his crewmates who were for the most part astounded by the technology the two science nerds had created.
Tuffnut's smile was as wide as his arms stretched it while he poked and prodded at the rubber like material, the patches of dark green on his suit reflecting little light. "This is so cool! Hey could you guys make like infinite self cleaning underwear?!" Ruffnut nodded at this idea "Very useful" she said as she stared at her yellow and black suit.
Fishlegs walked towards the edge of the cliff, his orange and black suit stretching to suit his heavier size. Snotlout merely crossed his arms and scoffed, not showing how interested he truly was in the black and dark gray suit he wore.
Astrid smirked at the unique material and the idea behind it ''This had to have taken you guys forever to make. The materials, the tech and even the research alone. "
Hiccup turned towards her as his face flushed lightly ''Well uh yeah we took our time. Made these while we worked on the ship. We've been making that ship for years and these suits were a neat idea we got if we ever , ya know ...got our own crew. And now that we do have a crew it's a perfect time to use them. Alright , here's our mission'' he says as he takes out a phone and projects a holographic map of this side of the planet.
He drug his finger across the map and pinpointed their location. "We're here, our Target is the Thunderdrum, an ancient Helheim Dragoon that dwells here, size unknown. He do know that it produces incredibly powerful soundwaves. We have to collect a sample of it's skin and bring it back to the lab at the Academy in order for them to work on a new defense system.''. He tapped on to another part of the hologram which sent the information and map to everyone's phones.
Astrid walked over and turned towards the others "We're splitting into three teams. Ruff and Tuff, you too head to Vlüd Gulch and search. Snotlout and Fishlegs" Snotlout groaned at this "You two head to the Vläck Horizon Forest and search for it , be wary of the trees and the animals. Hiccup and I will search Vlüe Canyon for the Thunderdrum."
The teams have a collective nod as they understood the mission at hand. They headed back into the ship and reached the armroy to prepare themselves "Thunderdrums make loud sounds...sooo a shockwave cannon oughta shut em up!" Ruffnut shouted to her twin as the two picked up two Shockwave Cannons, the same size and similar build to - minus the very wide nose, an AK-47.
Snotlout picked up a black hole grenade launcher and slungs it over heels shoulder, watching as Fishlegs grabbed a much smaller weapon. ''Are you serious? We're up against a Thunderdrum and you go small?!" He says with a scoffed as he rolls his eyes and walks of, Fishlegs glaring his way.
Hiccup picked up his usual weapons, his twin Laser/Ice Blasters. For added measure he grabbed his newest weapon which he referred to as : The Hyper Blade. The Hyper blade was built like a katana, save for the res colored blade which could be ignited to give an extra advantage in battle. He placed it into his back and holstered his guns then looked to Astrid who grabbed her plasma axe and a last shield, a shield that could expand from a small handle and retract back.
''Alright first mission as the Night Fury crew..
This'll be a breeze" he remarks as they exit the ship. As they reach the outside it's apparent to them that their other crewmates had gone
"Well that was fast. Just me and you now" Hiccup comments as he turns towards Astrid, not realizing she had begun to walk towards the Canyon already. "Hey wait up" he called over as he ran to her side then slowed to walk alongside her.
528Ñ5-The Twins
Ruffnut and Tuffnut peered over the edge of the Gulch "Maaan that is DEEP" Tuffnut said as his sister kicked a few pebbles down. ''Better use that climbing thingy." Ruff commented while pulling on a small hook connected to the hip of her suit. She pulled out a wire and placed the hook down, watching as it connected to the rock like a magnet. Tuff had inadvertently wrapped himself with it and quickly moved to untangle. As he did this, the end of his wire clipped to the rock below like a magnet and he tripped over the edge of the Gulch, falling with a shriek ''AAHHHH!" Ruffnut shook her head as she slid down the side of the Gulch.
She reached the bottom and looked over at her brother who was still tangled and in a dazed state , hanging near the side of the Gulch. "Wow" she said as she tapped on to a release switch on her suit, cashing the hook to release and reel back into her suit, the force from that pushing her forward "Yikes" she commented as she got a grip of herself and walked over to the hanging Tuff, releasing his chord and watching as he fell to the ground.
His wire began to untagle quickly, leaving him to roll and spin while lying down until it placed itself ''Ow..."
"Come on idiot! We gotta find the...Thunder...drum..."Ruffnuts words went on as she watched a large figure stalk towards the two of them. The figure appeared to be a person, nearly the size of Stoick. Ruffnut gripped her Shockwave Dispersal Cannon and raised in defense, Tuffnut doing the same.
The figure moved as though it were chuckling , and an eerie goice carried on throughout the Gulch as the light show on his face, revealing a dark haired man with a beard.
"What's a person doing on Helheim...and in Vlüd Gulch?'' Tuffnut questioned the man who raised his hands in defense, his dark black leather suit shining slightly. "I mean ya no harm, just come searching fer fruit. Ne'er expected to meet any people out ere." The voice spoke in a Berk like accent . "Me name is...well is long forgotten. But the people ere call me , Treacher"
"Treacher? Oh cool cause you wander around treacherous places?!" Tuffnut shouts as he lowers his gun.
Treacher shakes his head as he draws out a long stick, which had a blade wrapped around one of it's ends "It's because I can be veeeeery treacherous" he commented with an evil smile as he swung at Ruffnut, whofires off the shockwave blaster in defense. The shockwave blows through the wood and tears the staff in half , while forcing Treacher back to the ground.
"Yeaaaaaaah , we're getting outta here'' she said hastily grabbing at Tuff and pulling him the opposite way. Treacher Rose to his feet and grabbed the bladed peice of the staff , growling lowly "You avent escaped me et!" He shouted as he then whistled loudly , awakening some form of beast that rushed after them
"Oh Gods, Oh God's, Oh God's Oh my-" Tuff shouted as the creature's image became clear, showing off red scales and gnarly teeth. It grabbed onto them with it's teeth and lifted them upwards, flying them and to Treacher "Aw man...I really hope the others are having better luck" Ruffnut said with a huff as Tuff fought to get free.
{ Snotlout and Fishlegs}
Fishlegs shined a light throughout the dark Forest as they moved onward. It wasn't the sky causing the darkness but the vast and great amount of trees that blocked out the sun. It was nearly impossible to see throughout.
Fishlegs shook slightly with fear as they moved onward, Snotlout turning back and snapping "Hey! Chill out. This Forest is nothing'' he says as he turns back, hiding the fear that ran throughout his body.
Suddenly a loud shriek caught both of their attention , causing the two to whip their heads in the direction of the sound "Oh geez" Snotlout said as the fear shown on his face.
