Hey Guys!
So in this next chapter there is ACTION ADVENTURE and rude words, if you are not comfortable with this then please try reading another story, maybe from my wonderful selection ;)... no? Nevermind then.
I tried hard with this chapter and I hope it's better than some of the other garbage I have been posting...
Hiccup: I am sure it is...
Jack: Pfft yeah right.
-Slapping noise-
Hiccup: Hey I think Jack was meaning to say was you tried hard.
Really?
Jack: No.
-Throws both out the door and locks it-
Hope you enjoy ^,-
Okay so Hiccup's plan originally sounded great, Jack would go in, check out the sewage pipes and fly out, depending on what was down there changed the way the rest went in. Jack even thought that maybe they could check out the statue of liberty afterwards, it might look nice in a snowstorm. Anyway, Jack flew down, pinching his nose as he dropped, even then the stench was almost unbearable, he would have landed in the water had it not frozen over the instant he went near it. Sometimes being an ice spirit had its perks.
Jack bent down and looked into the gloom, using his stick he illuminated the tunnel around him, it was slimy, moss seemed to stretch the entire way around the pipe, drops of water occasionally landed near his head, but turned to snowflakes before they touched his hair. Jack grinned and looked upwards, a small hair looked back down at him. "You okay down there?" Hiccup yelled down, his voice echoed down the pipe line and caused more water to fall from the ceiling. "Yeah I'm good... should I... you know... explore.. or something?" Jack looked down either side of the pipe line, each one extended into darkness, great. "Yeah but go left, then right, wait no left then straight ahead, water gets real deep, then right then left again, come back from there." Pause. "You got that?"
Jack had no idea what Hiccup was on about.
"Sure, I will be about ten minutes."
"Great see you then."
Jack set off instantly forgetting the directions from Hiccup, so guessed at each turning, gradually forgetting where he had come from as well. He stopped and looked around, was it just him or had the pipe gotten darker? He was pretty sure he hadn't been that long underground, Jack shivered, it felt as if something had gone past him, he turned around and saw only darkness. No. That wasn't true, something was there in the pipeline with him. "Hello?... If you are another one of Hades creepy monster things, I am ready, bring it on buster." Gaining more confidence he took another step forwards holding his staff out as a shield. A small hiss caught his attention, it grew in volume and echoed around the tunnel.
"Jaaaaccckkk, I'veee beeen waaaiting foor yooou."
Movement started all around him, he spun in a circle, not sure where to look, panic rose from his feet and quickly made its way to his head. Jack breathed heavily and forced himself to calm down, he wiped his hands on the back of his trousers.
It head butted him before he could introduce himself.
Jack flew back, the wind caught him before he hit the wall, Jack propelled himself forwards and aimed for the beast, it reared its head and he saw it in full light.
Of all things living in a sewage system it had to be a snake.
It stood about four meters tall, with a large think body coiling around the pipeline in a circular fashion. The snakes tongue flicked between two long sharp fangs, this thing was part snake, part skeleton, one eye was empty, leaving only a socket and a nice chuck of viewable skull, the other was pure black and just as creepy. The snake started moving towards Jack at an alarming speed for such a large thing, Jack shot back to a safe distance and threw a volley of snowballs, each one hit the snakes head. It continued forwards, seemingly only mildly annoyed and started speaking with a large hiss as it moved.
"Jaaack, I amm Erebusss, oncce I haad a miigghhtty emmpiiree now alll thaaatsss leefftt iiisss meee, yooourr kiiind killled myy fammilly I shaaall kill yoouu in returnnn."
Jack swung around mid flight and blasted three shots of ice out of his staff, one hit Erry in the eye. He kind of screamed, well as much as a snake in pain can scream, Jack grinned, but that quickly changed to a look of terror as the snake slithered forwards much faster. Jack flew as fast he could down the pipeline, the monster behind him crash blindly after him gaining distance with every second. Jack occasionally shot blasts behind him, not much did any good as the momentum of the thing could smash through any ice barrier he put up. He was panicking again, his heart thumped in his ears till he couldn't even hear his own breathing or the thing behind him.
Light.
Jack shot forwards towards the manhole, screaming for Hiccup to run as he did so, he reached the porthole and didn't stop until he was high enough in the air to be out of reach from the thing. He looked down and sighed to himself, Hiccup looked shocked and was running to Toothless. There was a nice period of peace and quiet, New York looked normal, Jack almost forgot what had happened.
Saying bang was a understatement.
Several large cracks appeared in the ground, Jack's smile vanished, he hovered watching from a safe distance. There was a low rumble then the ground exploded into a mass of rubble, scales and an angry snake.
"JACK WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?"
Hiccup was screaming to him as he and Jack shot ice and energy blasts at Mr Snake. "Well he said his name was Erebus." Jack shouted back. "Oh great to know, shall we go have tea with Mr Erebus then?" Jack laughed, well he kind of choked on his laugh. "He doesn't look like the kind of guest who enjoys tea." Hiccup shrugged and dived with Toothless towards the snakes head, from the sound of it Hiccup was screaming, "DO YOU LIKE DE-CAFFE?"Not the best battle cry ever. Hiccup then jumped landing no-so-smoothly on the things head and started stabbing it with a blade. Below Jack saw Merida sending volley after volley of arrows, each hitting the target perfectly, Jack frowned mid-swing, that wasn't normal Merida, in training she preferred her sword, a long ranged weapon, with a gasp he saw there was a kid on her back.
"Merida you okay? You look like you're going to get squashed." Jack flew down, avoiding the snakes thrashing and stood next to her, staring at the boy hugging her back. "Meet Charlie, we are going to find mommy after we stop Mr Worm from eating all the ice cream." Merida replied breathless as she struggled to hold both a bow and arrow and the kid. Jack did his best not to laugh. Charlie pointed upwards and giggled, Merida seemed to refrain from screaming.
The tail seemed to be over the threes heads before any of them could move, Jack grabbed Charlie and Merida and shot out of harm's way, putting them down in an ally way away from Erry. "Charlie could you give the sensible adults a moment please?" Jack asked and Charlie nodded grinning, he ran down the alley and stood watching. "What the hell are you doing with a kid, while there is a fucking snake in New York?" He whispered angrily. "I don't know, my hand went through him, like as was a ghost Jack! He couldn't see me or hear me, this is all so messed up." Merida looked furiously at him and Jack took a step back. "What are you going to do with Charlie, you can't fight and protect him." Jack stated returning a glare. " What do you want me to do? Dump him back on the streets? Leave him here? Give me some ideas." She whispered watching the kid while doing so. "I don't know!" Jack said suddenly frustrated at everything. "Take him away from here, me and Hiccup will deal with Mr Worm." Merida looked to protest but the logic was sound and they had no other option. She grabbed the Charlie's hand and ran with him down the street, pausing only to stop and give a nod before returning to the fast walk. Jack turned back to Hiccup, who was still fighting.
"Some help would be so nice now." He called down to Jack who grinned running to the beasts belly and pushing up from the ground, as he flew up he scratched his staff up the scales, ice spread around the body and caused a great deal to pain to old Erry, who hissed in a blind fury. He met Hiccup up in the air and together they flew down smashing everything they had onto Erebus's head, Jack roared with Toothless, Hiccup kind of squealed. With a crack the skull split in two and the great beast face-planted the ground with a dying hiss. Jack flew down and landed neatly on the ground, feeling far too smug with himself, Hiccup and Toothless both crashed to the ground next to him, Jack remembered that the entire time he had been chatting with Merida, Hiccup and Toothless had been fighting.
"Did you actually find her?"
Hiccup asked sounding not one bit hopeful. Jack felt a pang to his brain, how could he forget? The whole reason he had gone in the sewers were to find Rapunzel, yet all he got was a butt load of snake. "No, let's find Merida and move on the next location." A new source of power ran through his veins, he felt bolder and braver. Jack stood straighter helping Hiccup back up and together they walked through a crowd of dazed tourists, Toothless bounding after them.
I will find you.
No one can stop me now.
Even a big ass snake.
