Dragon Music Tales
Ways to be Wicked
Summary: In an alternate universe, when the Final Exam goes wrong, the Misfit Trio fights back against their people and runs away with Astrid, their dragons, and the dragons from the Arena. Three years later, they now live at the Dragon Sanctuary with Hiccup's mother, Valka, who was thought to be dead, and are now vigilantes and rescue captive dragons from Dragon trappers and hunters. The following one-shot is one of their missions.
Up in the Northern Seas, a trapper ship sailed smoothly across the icy waters. Eret, son of Eret, scanned the skies above him for any troubles.
Especially those nuisances: the Dragon Riders. Two boys, two girls. They had tamed a Deadly Nadder, and three very rare dragons: a BoneKnapper, a Grapple Grounder, and even a Night Fury. And they all wore colorful face paint to conceal their identities. Those four were most likely associated with the previous Rider that had been a thorn in his side for almost five years. He only got away with a few deliveries. And it has gotten worse when those four showed.
"Dragon Riders!" One of the crew members shouted.
Eret groaned. Speak of the devils themselves. He turned around and saw four dragons coming their way and fast. The one in the front, riding the Night Fury, took out a metal canister and began spraying a stream of Hideous Zippleback gas over the ship. Once he got to the other end, he ignited it, causing the gas to explode.
The crew began coughing as they tried to fan away the smoke. Four thuds were then heard as the Riders landed on the ship. Eret glared at the silhouettes as voices began singing.
All four: We got all the ways to be W-I-C-K-E-D!
We got all the ways to be W-I-C-K-E-D!
Come on!
As they began chanting, the silhouettes began moving quickly, giving the crew shivers. According to some rumors, they move so quick and agile through their diversions that some believe they might be ghosts.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Then, one by one, they made themselves visible as they sung.
The leader, the one who rides the Night Fury, made himself known first. He had shaggy auburn hair with two strands braided behind his right ear, fair skin, and haunting green eyes. He wore a red long-sleeved tunic, leather armbands, brown leggings, brown leather boots, and brown leather armor all over his chest and shoulders. His shoulders bore pads, with one of them having an insignia of a Night Fury. He also had red face paint across his cheeks.
Hiccup: Crashing the party.
Guess they lost my invitation.
Friendly reminder:
Got my own kind of persuasion.
The second was one of the girls, the one that rode the Nadder. She was considered a great beauty, with blonde hair in a braid with bangs parting to her left, steel blue eyes, and fair skin. She wore a dark blue shirt with metal shoulder pads, a leather skirt, blue leggings, and brown leather boots. On her face, she wore orange and blue face paint, and she twirled a battle axe in her hand.
Astrid: Looks like this place could use
A bit of misbehavior.
Happily ever after
With a little flavor.
The third was the other male member, the one that rides the BoneKnapper. He had auburn hair as well, but his was more red and wild. He also had dark blue eyes and fair skin. He wore a dark navy blue long-sleeved tunic, black pants, brown leather boots, metal leg guards, and leather armbands. On his hip, there was a shiny sword that was surprisingly strong, since it could cut through metal. On his face was blue and gold face paint.
Ragnar: Bad to the bone
With even worse intentions.
We're gonna steal the show
And leave 'em all defenseless.
Finally, there was the other girl, the one that rides the Grapple Grounder. She also was a rare beauty, with her long brown hair tied into a low ponytail down her back and bangs down the left side of her face, brown eyes, and tan skin. She wore a dark green shirt with sleeves going to her elbows, a brown leather skirt, navy blue leggings, brown leather boots, and a small light gray fur vest. On her back was a bow made out of a strange metal component that can become two daggers when split apart. And on her hip was a leather sheath full of arrows. Her face was painted with yellow and purple paint.
Cosette: A fairy tale life can be
Oh so overrated.
So raise your voices and
Let's get it activated.
The four then readied their weapons as they quickly circled the crew.
All: Long live havin' some fun.
We take what we want.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
With us, evil lives on
The right side of wrong.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
The three dragons that were circling above the ship fired fire, or in the Nadder's case, sharp tail spines.
Fire, fire.
Hot, hot.
Do you feel it?
Pin, pin.
Take a hint.
Come on, let 'em go.
Change the way the story's told!
While they were distracted, the leader headed down into the ship with his Night Fury.
Hiccup: This time the dark is finally
Getting your attention.
Back up top, everyone was fighting off the crew while teasing them.
Cosette: We're wicked by the book,
And class is back in session.
Ragnar: You like it, steal it.
Gotta beat 'em to the treasure.
Astrid: A rite of passage,
All: Bad just doesn't get much better!
As they sing, down below, the leader was picking the locks of the cages.
Long live havin' some fun.
We take what we want.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
With us, evil lives on
The right side of wrong.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
Hiccup: Mother always knows best.
Cosette: Show her, pass every test.
Ragnar: Hear her voice in my head.
Astrid: Evil is the only
All: Real way to win.
We got all the ways to be
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
W-I-C-K-E-D
Ragnar: Let's go!
All: We got all the ways to be
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
W-I-C-K-E-D!
Long live havin' some fun.
We take what we want.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
With us, evil lives on
The right side of wrong.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
Cruel and unusual.
We're taking control.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
With us, evil lives on
The right side of wrong.
There's so many ways to be wicked.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Finally, the leader picked the last lock. He then got on his Night Fury and as they made their way back up to the deck with the freed dragons following behind. The other three then whistled to their dragons and got on them.
We got all the ways to be W-I-C-K-E-D!
We got all the ways to be W-I-C-K-E-D!
We got all the ways to be W-I-C-K-E-D!
We got all the ways to be-
Hiccup: So many ways to be wicked.
The four then began laughing as they flew out of sight. Eret growled. He really hates those annoying Riders.
Hiccup, Ragnar, Cosette, and Astrid were still laughing as they led the freed flock of dragons.
"Well, that was fun!" Cosette said, lying down on Violet's back.
"Tell me about it!" Ragnar agreed, petting Fossil's head.
"I love it when we tease them, though!" Astrid said. "They think we're the bad guys, and we give what for. Talk about irony."
Hiccup laughed. "Can you guys believe that it's been three whole years since we left Berk?" Toothless warbled, remembering that day.
"Yeah." Astrid said. "And thanks to you guys, Stormfly and I are great partners." She petted her Nadder's head, making her squawk happily.
"You still don't regret leaving?" Cosette asked her, sitting back up.
"Hey, you three saw the truth about dragons." Astrid said. "There's not a lot of honest Vikings out there."
"You got that right." Ragnar said.
"Come on, guys." Hiccup said. "Let's head back. Mom will be waiting."
"She probably won't have to wait long." Ragnar said as he pointed ahead. They looked over and saw the magnificent ice structure that now serves as their home.
"We're back." Cosette said as they flew in through the entrance.
A/N: Sorry for not updating this in so long, but I think this may be my best one, if not the longest one. When I first heard "Ways to be Wicked", I absolutely loved it. And I thought it could work in this scenario of an alternate universe. I don't own it in any way or form, though.
Also, Descendants 2 is finally out tonight, so I posted this in honor of it. Can't wait to watch it.
See you next time! Got to fly! ;)
