Episode 10: Saving Snoggletog Part 2
-With the Whispering Death-
"What do you mean you didn't kill Draco Ryder!? As long as he's alive, he will constantly get in the way of my dragons raiding the village of Berk. You should of killed him while you had the chance!" Red Death exclaimed as the Whispering Death snarled.
"I know that queen but me and the Skrill will finish him off and I will strike Draco where it hurts the most!" he exclaimed causing the Red Death to be intrigued by what he stated. "What do you mean by that?" she questioned as the Whispering Death chuckled. "When I was battling Draco Ryder he mentioned a person by the name of Astrid and he saved a blonde girl who may be said person. Judging by his reaction he may care for this lady" the dragon explained as the Red Death chuckled deviously.
"Very well then...you and the Skrill will finish Draco off and show no mercy!" Red Death stated as the Whispering Death smirked. "At your service my queen...I will handle your task with ease along with the Skrill" he said before flying off.
-With Hiccup-
Meanwhile Hiccup slowly found himself awake with a towel on his forehead as he found himself laying on a bed much to his confusion as he could of sworn he was in the forest unconscious. "Where am I?" Hiccup questioned as he then noticed that this wasn't his usual room. "So you finally woke up?" a voice called out as Hiccup turned around to see Astrid sitting on a nearby chair with her arms crossed. Hiccup was in shock as he was about to speak until Astrid stopped him.
"If your wondering...I found you unconscious in the Forest and I know your Draco Ryder" Astrid stated as Hiccup sighed running a hand down her hair. "Does anyone else know about this?" Hiccup questioned as Astrid shook her head no.
"They were busy trying to repair the damages while also fixing up the Great Hall for Snoggletog tomorrow, so I decided to sneak you into my house without anyone noticing" Astrid explained as Hiccup sighed. "Okay that's good. Let me guess...you want a explanation for everything?" Hiccup questioned as Astrid nodded her head crossing her arms.
"Well it all began 2 months back when Berk was again raided by a few dragons. Usually you would see me attempt to help out the Vikings with my inventions only to fail, so I decided to leave and go into the Forest" Hiccup said as Astrid motioned for him to continue his explanation. "There I continued walking around the Forest, just really exploring around that is...until I felt something or someone watching me. I didn't know what but I saw a pair of green eyes looking at me from a bush but I couldn't make out what the creature was. That is...until I realized it was a Night Fury" Hiccup stated much to Astrid's shock. "A Night Fury?! I thought they weren't real" Astrid exclaimed.
"They exist Astrid just that no one's ever seen one without being killed. As it began to go near me I just stood their in fear as I had expected the dragon to kill me...but it didn't. Instead it bit my right hand as I noticed green liquid pouring out instead of blood. The next thing I know I'm in a 2 month coma" Hiccup says as Astrid nodded her head. "So then what happened?" Astrid asked. "Well during that time period, I had a dream where the same Night Fury I had encountered was there. He begins explaining that the reason dragons keep raiding Berk is because they are ordered to by their queen Red Death and if they fail to do so...she devours them and she's also the size of mountains" Hiccup said much to Astrid's horror.
"He then states that the reason for biting me and turning me into a Half-Human and Half-Dragon hybrid is because he believed that I had the potential to free them all from her" Hiccup said as Astrid stopped him midway. "So let me get this straight...the dragons are ordered by a queen the size of mountains to raid our village and if we refuse to do so...then the dragons get devoured. And to top it all off your part dragon now?" Astrid questioned as Hiccup nodded.
"Yep and your probably can see the upcoming events that happened. Me using my newfound powers to quickly beat Snotlout which I admit was pretty selfish on my part" Hiccup said rubbing the back of his neck as Astrid chuckled before punching his right arm much to Hiccup's displeasure. "Hey it may have been selfish but you put Snotface in his place and it was hilarious if I do say so myself" Astrid chuckled.
"Yeah but I also realized that I needed to disguise myself so no one could recognize me which is how I got my Draco Ryder attire" Hiccup stated as Astrid rolled her eyes. "If only I was paying attention to your suspicious behavior, then I wouldn't be surprised. Also how do you put your clothes on so quickly when theirs a dragon raid?" Astrid raised an eyebrow as Hiccup grinned before picking himself up. "Well you see before it took a few minutes since I had to make sure I wasn't spotted but during my 5 day training with Toothless I learned to transform with my attire on and off" Hiccup explained as Astrid raised an eyebrow at the name "Toothless"
"If you about to ask...Toothless is what I named the Night Fury. Now watch..." Hiccup said as he closed his eyes with Astrid watching on. Hiccup slowly began to glow purple as in a bright flash he was in his Draco Ryder attire as Astrid just stared in amazement. "Amazing isn't it?" Draco questioned as Astrid rolled her eyes as she looked around Draco. "If you don't mind me asking Hiccup, why do you keep this a secret from us?" Astrid raised an eyebrow as Draco sighed before looking at her.
"Astrid if I had told my dad about this he would of either had me killed, kept prisoner or banished me. I decided to be Draco Ryder so I can stop this war between Vikings and Dragons as I believe that the two can co-exist in this world. I would like to believe that Draco Ryder gives others hope that they can accomplish anything" Draco said as Astrid smiled. "So...your not going to tell anyone about this?" Draco questioned as Astrid shook her head no. "I won't...on one condition..." Astrid stated looking at Hiccup with a sinister grin.
"Please tell me this won't involve me being your punching bag" Draco groaned as Astrid rolled her eyes in annoyance. "No seaweed brain, I want to join you on your adventure. I know it may be foolish since I technically don't have powers but I want to experience this first hand and to be honest with you, it's better than hearing Snotlout's constant flirting" Astrid groaned earning a couple of rolling eyes from Draco. "Fine then. So now what?" Draco asked as before Astrid could respond a roar was heard much to their confusion as they looked outside only to be shocked at what unfold.
The Whispering Death was using it's tail to hold Camicazi down as the Skrill was striking down multiple Vikings down with bolts of lightning. "Where are you Draco Ryder?! Do you not care if the one you lost the most is in danger?!" the Skrill questioned as Draco looked at Astrid. "Astrid lead the Vikings away from here. I have some business to attend to" Draco stated as he leaped outside the house and landed in front of the Skrill's view. "Why hello their! Come here often?" Draco asked sarcastically as the Skrill fired a bolt of lightning at him quickly evading the assault.
"Alright you two, hand over the girl and no one gets hurt!" Draco exclaimed as the Skrill snickered before firing another bolt of lightning as Draco evaded the lightning bolts. Meanwhile Astrid was helping some of the Vikings who were struck by lightning but then noticed that Camicazi was attempting to break free of the Whispering Death's hold. "Don't worry Camicazi I'm coming!" Astrid said as she grabbed Camicazi and attempted to break her out only for the Whispering Death to notice and roar at the two.
Draco kicked back the Skrill but his sense of hearing picked up the Whispering Death's roar as he proceeded to run at high speed towards the three. The Whispering Death lunged at Camicazi and Astrid and would of consumed the two but Draco did a double kick knocking the Whispering Death back into the tree as he followed with hard punches. "Stay away from them!" he yelled out as he grabbed the Whispering Death and with all his strength sent him flying back near a couple of trees much to everyone's surprise.
"Alright you two, if you want me, then come get me!" Draco said as he ran into the forest as the Whispering Death then dug underground with the Skrill flying upwards. As Camicazi looked on she turned to Astrid and said "Do you think that somewhere this can be turned into a book?" she asked with Astrid shrugging in response. "Well if it was...I would read it and it would be a success" Astrid exclaimed crossing her arms.
-With Draco-
Draco was leaping from tree to tree but at the same time he was looking up and down to see which dragon would assault him first and much to his answer...it was the Skrill. The Skrill fired multiple lightning bolts as Draco evaded each of them but was struck by one in the stomach causing him to fall back-first on the ground as he groaned in pain. "My stomach..." Draco groaned as he got up but then felt the ground shake as he looked down only for the Whispering Death to pop out and headbutt Draco into a tree.
"Do you really think you have a chance against us kid? We have had years of experience and were not going to lose to some rookie in armor" the Whispering Death exclaimed as the Skrill flew down next to the dragon. "So how should we finish Draco. Slow and painful or a quick death?" the Skrill questioned as the Whispering Death chuckled.
"I will go with slow and painful myself. Besides I want to enjoy every second of this beating" he hissed as he used his tail to smack Draco up in the air as the Skrill followed in the air. The Skrill began to spin itself around in a form of a tornado but Draco evaded the assault and turned around as he attempted to fire a Plasma Blast but couldn't due to the same reason. "Curse you Yaknog!" Draco thought as he turned around only to be slapped by the Whispering Death's tail knocking him back to the ground with a thud.
"What's the matter?! Can't breathe fire Ryder?" the Skrill questioned firing a couple of lightning of bolts at Draco who at the last second rolled out the way but groaned in pain. The Skrill stood beside as the Whispering Death stood over Draco hissing at him. "Oh you poor, poor little man. Dragons will always rise and nothing will stop us...not even a freakish two-legged fire-breathing monstrosity such as yourself. Our queen Red Death will eventually rise and no one will be able to stop us" the Whispering Death stated as the Skrill nodded.
"Say what do we do after killing him?" the Skrill questioned as the Whispering Death eyed him. "After we destroy him we will then eliminate the village of Berk and kill those who he holds dear...especially...Astrid" the Whispering Death as Draco's eyes shot open in shock but glowed green as he grit his teeth. "You...will..." Draco began as the Skrill attempted to fire again at Draco who evaded the bolt.
"...never...lay..." the Whispering Death then lunged itself at Draco who simply ducked as the two dragons as his eyes were glowing green and something began to form in his hands much to their surprise. "...A HAND ON HER!" Draco yelled out as he fired a massive bolt of lightning to the Skrill and Whispering Death knocking the two dragons back forward into a tree. Draco stood on one knee before looking at his hands in surprise. "Did I just do that?" he questioned to himself but then noticed the two dragons getting up.
"Lucky shot kid but now we will-" the Skrill was suddenly struck in the back with multiple spines much to Draco's horror. "I can't honestly believe I have to share the honor of killing Draco with a lowlife Skrill. Mark my words Draco Ryder...next time I will finish you off and no one will get in my way" the Whispering Death stated before flying off as Draco rushed towards the hurt Skrill. "You okay there?" Draco questioned pulling out the spines as the Skrill nodded before looking at Draco confusingly.
"Aren't you going to finish me off?" it questioned as Draco shook his head no. "No honestly I'm surprised because I didn't expect him to do that..." Draco stated as the Skrill looked up. "What will you do now? If you go back to Dragon Island there's a possibility that Red Death may eat you but if you stay in this forest the Vikings will kill you" Draco exclaimed as the Skrill thought for a minute but chuckled causing Draco to raise an eyebrow.
"Something funny?" Draco raised an eyebrow as the Skrill looked at him. "To tell you truth...I didn't honestly expect the legend of the Humagon to be true" the Skrill stated as Draco raised an eyebrow. "You'll learn about it in the future but for now...enjoy what you have today" the Skrill exclaimed as he flew away as Draco looked on with a smile.
Draco glowed purple as he reverted back to Hiccup as he smiled. "Maybe I do have the power to change the world" Hiccup said to himself as he held his hand out as a blue fireball materialized and he threw it at a tree burning it to a crisp as he smiled. He then proceeded to walk back to Berk.
(Normally the chapter would end here but...I'll timeskip to the Snoggletog Celebration)
-The Great Hall-
It was the night of Snoggletog and multiple Vikings and teens were celebrating them with joy. Majority of the children were drawing Vikings killing Dragons much to Hiccup's disgust but hid it. Astrid was handing out Yaknog to which majority of the Vikings accepted much to his surprise as Camicazi walked up to him. "Hey Hiccup! Enjoying the party?" Camicazi questioned as Hiccup nodded but pointed to the group of Vikings who were drinking Astrid's Yaknog.
"Oh about that, apparently to them it tastes like victory and they believe that they will be strong if they drink Yaknog" Camicazi stated as Hiccup just face-palmed. Camicazi turned around to see Fishlegs all by himself causing her to smile deviously as she looked at Hiccup. "If you need me...I'll be with Fishlegs" Camicazi chuckled as she walked to Fishlegs as Hiccup snickered before walking out the Great Hall as he looked at the night sky.
He turned around to see the teens and Vikings having a good time as he smiled with his eyes closed. "Maybe being Draco Ryder isn't all that bad after all" he said as he walked back inside to join the others.
