Chapter 10 is up! Sorry this is chapter is a bit rush due to me not being able to write much earlier.
Also thank you guys for taking your time to read my story. ^^
Deathjest – I am really sorry if my story is confusing. It`s because I have a hard time describing some scenes and if the confusing part is some things in the story the future chapters will have something in them on explaining why certain things are like that. Also thank you for telling me I really appreciate it. ^^
Snon – I don't know if you originally dislike Heather or is it because how I write her that made you dislike her but I hope it's the first one but thank you nonetheless for telling me ^^ .
Anyway *Warning!* Inappropriate words will be seen. You have been warned and my summary said so as well ^^.
I DON'T OWN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.
The deafening roars of conflict echoes through the walls of the dark sewers and in that sewer you can find two god like being dueling it out. The warriors parry each attack sent by the other before countering with lethal grace. To a third person the fight might look evenly match but if you watch closely you will notice that the cloak figure was clearly toying with its enemy.
The cloak figure back away while showing a Cheshire like grin towards the nearly fatigue dragon rider. The said dragon rider was clutching the spot where her dragon armor should be, blood run down her right arms down towards her battle axe.
"Stormfly what's the status of my armor?" Astrid asks while keeping an eye on her enemy who was waiting for her to attack. "Damn, I shouldn`t have carelessly attack her like that earlier." She curses herself for her mistake which cause her chances of survival dwindle down.
"Armor is at 75%. I should advise we attack more carefully while dodging all of her attack." Stormfly said. Easy said than done as the cloak figure can go toe to toe with her when it comes to speed and agility.
"Stormfly, contact Dragon`s Edge and request evac and tell them to bring in the big guns while they're at it." Astrid said before taking a step back as she narrowly dodge the cloak figure`s tail as it she aim it for her head.
"Keep your head in the game, Astrid or you might lose it!" The cloak figure said with glee. The cloak figure then uses her claws to lunge at Astrid, aiming for her neck. Her steel cloak shines as Astrid`s light hit it.
Astrid not being able to use her axe for blocking the attack, she outstretch her left arms towards the cloak figure`s face. "Lets see if you can dodge this you bitch!" Astrid said as a compartment open up on her forearm revealing a small canon. Astrid feels a sting on her left forearm.
The cloak figure`s eyes widen as she spot the small canon starts to glow. A burst of fire erupted from the barrel of the canon hitting the wall to their left lighting up the dark cavern. The cloak figure was able to dodge the attack by quickly using her tail to hit Astrid`s arm to miss the shot to her face. She backs away wincing before looking at the burned wall. "That was hot as hell." She said before looking back at her opponent who was nowhere to be found. "Aww you didn't even say good bye. How rude." She said as she looks at the trail of blood on the ground telling where her target was before she run as fast as a wraith.
Astrid swiftly and carefully flies through the dark cavern with Stormfly telling her which turn she should take. "Astrid your little friend is quickly gaining ground." Stormfly said while showing the mini map again with the red dot closing in the middle.
"We need to get out of the damn sewer as quickly as we can. Is the path to the exit just a straight path?" Astrid said. Stormfly said yes. "Good. Now full speed, Stormfly." She said before she fly faster leaving a huge gap of distance between her and her pursuer.
Flying at a blazing speed she was only seeing a bright light ahead but as she got closer to the exit she was hears a distant explosion and clashes of steel. "Astrid I am detecting multiple life signals."Stormfly said to her showing the mini map.
"Are all of them hostiles?" She asks.
"No. 6 is your teammates while the other 9 are enemies." Stormfly said. Astrid sigh in relief after hearing that some of her friends/teammates are still alive and kicking. Hopefully in one piece as well.
Narrowly avoiding the twisted iron bars of the sewers she shot out of the dark cavern like a bullet out of the barrel of a gun. "Astrid, get some altitude now!" The voice Jrue said to her through her com link. Astrid didn't even hesitate as she quickly elevated to the same level as her team. "Where is Catherine?" Jrue asks looking at the opening of the sewer while asking his AI for any sign of their second in command. He look back at Astrid who was clutching her right shoulder. "She didn't make it did she?" Jrue asks her.
Astrid shakes her head slowly before looking back at Jrue." I already contacted Dragon`s Edge for Evac and some big guns along with it." Astrid said.
"Shouldn`t we just fly back ourselves? I mean we have wings don`t we?" Jrue suggested before dodging a cloak figure who leap towards him to slash his chest with its sharp claw, knowing that the cloak figure will uses its tail to stab him he parries the tail with his sabre. "Gods they jump high!" Jrue said clearly wincing as he still feel the force of impact from the tail.
Astrid notice that Jrue`s sabre has blue blood dripping down on it. 'Blood… they bleed?' She thought before looking at the tail of the one who tries to attack Jrue earlier. She then see the cloak figures tail was wounded and bleeding the figure roar in annoyance as it inspect its tail`s wound.
The wounded figure then hiss as steam erupted from its tail as it quickly starts to heal itself.
"Woah! Shit they bleed?" Jrue said to no one after noticing the blood on his sabre. "I thought they were wearing Dragon Armor like us?" Jrue said looking at who attack him earlier. "We Dragon Riders have super human capabilities even without the armor amplifying it but… what are they? Are they even human?" Jrue asks.
"I think they where once human but no longer." Astrid said. A loud roar emanated from the mouth of the sewer all the cloak figures from below quickly form a formation that resembles a stairs. Astrid`s pursuer exits the mouth of the sewer as fast as lightning, with each powerful step she propels herself forward faster than ever before. Using the other cloak figure as stairs she jumped towards the nearest Dragon Rider.
While in mid air she quickly pulls out a color red transparent like glass short sword that was hidden by her cloak. It glistens when the lights of the setting sun hits its silver hilt with a small ruby embedded on top of it. She slices the poor Dragon Rider who didn't see her leap towards her.
The cloak figure jumps from each Dragon Rider to another, cutting down each one with either her sword or her pointed tail. Her next target was now Jrue who have his sabre ready to counter her as she leaps off from the now dead Dragon Rider.
She block`s Jrue`s Sabre with her short sword before clinging into him, looking at Astrid with the same Cheshire like grin. "I`ll see you later, Astrid." She said to Astrid who wasn't able to strike down her target due to the fear on hitting her own teammate.
Jrue who was trying to escape from the cloak figures grasp look at Astrid. "Kill her! Strike her down with your axe!"
"I- can`t I might injure you or worst kill you."
"Just do it!" Jrue exclaimed pushing of the cloak figure giving them as much separation as possible. Astrid see the little space between her friend and her target. She raises her axe over her head ready to strike.
"I can do this. I can do this with my own ability. Not hers. Mine." She whisper to herself. So focus on cutting the arms of her target she failed to notice the tail that was behind her.
Before she could slice down her enemy`s arm she felt the tail wrap her waist. "Ciao, Astrid." The cloak figure said to her before spinning her around. Before Astrid could turn around she was instantly sent forward with great force that she thought that her spine would break.
The cloak figure uses its powerful legs to kick Astrid away sending her crashing down. "Astrid! Why you little wench I wi-" Jure said to her.
The cloak figure stops smiling when she looks at him. "I have no use for you now. You should consider yourself lucky I even touch you, you worthless man." She said before she uses her sharp tail to stab Jrue from the back. The Thunderclaw was able to withstand the first 5 blows of the tail before the sixth blow breaks through the armor and find Jrue`s flesh and bones.
Jrue vomited blood as he look down and see the red tip of the tail appear on his stomach. He looks at his killer who was looking blankly at him, no hints of remorse or sadness. In a last effort to Jrue`s opens his left forearm`s compartment revealing the same canon that Astrid uses and aim it directly at his killer`s face. "If… you think…I-I will die like this… think again." He said before a burst of green fire erupted and hits his enemy right in the face.
The two falls down to the ground with a loud thud.
Meanwhile Astrid crash landed on a pile of rubble. "Stormfly… status update…Stormfly?" Astrid said slowly standing up while wincing as she feels her body scream in pain. "Stormfly?" She ask her AI again and waited for the Ai to respond. "Great…" She said noticing that Stormfly won`t be responding anytime soon without any repairs.
She then manually checks herself. "Com-Link is damage, Wings useless, Unresponsive AI, and a bleeding wound on my shoulder which should have healed by now." Astrid said clearly frustrated. She then looks up and notice that the sun has already set and the stars have come out to see her miserable state. I need to get out of here and find a place to hide and recover."
