Luna regained consciousness in a small cell with four brick walls and a metal door. She was tied up and felt vaguely stiff. Even in her fuzzy state of mind, her dragon senses were on high alert, her memories of the night fresh in her mind. The door slammed open with a bang and Luna jerked around to see Cameron. Her eyes narrowed and she backed away, "I know your personality very well, Cameron. You know you want to see me go down fighting." Cameron shrugged, "Maybe I do and maybe I don't." Cameron answered in a sing-song voice. "But Johann wants to see his little demon die..." He murmured, "I can make you do whatever I want, you know?" he asked and Luna frowned, then gasped, "You wouldn't dare, you know that even tied up, you're no match for me." Cameron tutted, "Try it and see how big the pieces of your cousin are!" Luna shook her head and felt her shoulders slump. She knew they would track her plasma signature, but she needed time until she could send an SOS, but until then she had to wait...
"Hey, Dragon Boy!" a voice broke through Hiccup's thoughts, he spun round to see Astrid and immediately blushed, "Um, Astrid! Hi, you're looking g-good, I-I mean great!" Astrid shook her head, "Never mind about that. Seen your cousin today?" Oh right, Luna. Memories of the recent mission still sent chills down his back and hearing that she was missing nearly froze his blood, "W-Where did y-you see her last?" he choked, Astrid stared in concern, he was turning slowly blue, "Last night, we blew up the casino and she got a phone call and she flew away." Yup. Now his blood was solid, "Phone call from who?" he spluttered, Astrid frowned, trying to remember, "I think it was this Cameron dude." "Oh Thor." Hiccup groaned and sprinted off to HQ. He burst n through the elevator and banged on Bertha's office door while several of the agents ran after him, insisting that he first pass through security. " I've been expecting you." Bertha's calm voice rang out, her voice one of concern. Hiccup took a deep breath, "My only surviving blood relative is off the grid because of you and your gods-forsaken mission!" he screamed, his face flushing, Bertha scowled, "Mr. Haddock! You cannot react like this! We are locating your cousin but her plasma signature is nowhere and she knows when she's forcefully incognito she should blaze it up!" Hiccup paused and looked around the office and realized he was staring at GPS trackers that were meant to be connected to Luna's gear, plasma signatures were popping all over the world map but none of them was her distinctive plasma. He gulped, "Okay. I'll do anything to keep Luna safe, she's all I have." Bertha nodded, "Okay, you're a member of the search party. Come on!"
Luna Light was tired from the blood loss. She had been stabbed in her leg stump ten times, her tail had been slit and cuts lined her arms. She looked up at Cameron who was smirking down at her and her gaze switched to Johann, who was admiring a knife then started dipping into pots of colored liquids that Luna was sure wasn't paint, "Orange oleander, it affects her human side. Blue for the dragon part of her, it'll be a miracle if she survives." Johann murmured and then waved his hand, "What is her weakest point?" Cameron looked at her and Luna remembered a long-forgotten memory...
A younger Luna, with shorter hair and weaker wings was fighting Cameron, who had also aged back several years. A bell rang as she floored him once again. Cameron groaned and faced her bravely, "Come on! Let's spar one more time! I know I can find your weakness!" Luna gave him a sympathetic glance and shrugged, "My wing joints are extremely vulnerable, I haven't exactly evolved enough to work out the kinks in my defense." Cameron nodded and the two crouched down again, waiting for the next one's move. Cameron leapt at her and Luna kicked instinctively and Cameron ducked, avoiding the attack so easily that she realized that he had been feinting. She rolled onto the floor, in an attempt to dislocate his leg or twist his ankle but Cameron quickly took the blow and fell to the ground and then rolled away and sprung up behind her. Luna cursed her impulsiveness then gasped with pain as the kick hit her joints, she collapsed, trying desperately to recover yet it just wasn't working. The bell rang and for the first time in a hundred spars, Cameron had won...
Cameron grinned, "Her wing-joints, also, why don't you add a little Speed Sting in there? It'll knock her out." Johann's vicious smile widens and he uncorked another bottle and dips his knife in it, "Turn her around." he commands and Luna gave Cameron one last teary-eyed plea, which was returned with a stony-faced glare. she felt the dragon-proof contraption holding her turn her around and Johann's knife searing her scales then Cameron shouting "Fly, Luna and get that SOS sent!" and the chains released as Luna semi-consciously flew out of there, her plasma fire bursting out of every pore.
Hiccup was leaning down on the readings of the plasma tracker, trying to locate Luna's signature. Suddenly, a small, dancing purple dot appeared on a map of the Archipelago in an area called "Northern Markets", he compared it with Luna's signature and called out, "Hey! I've got a signature, faint but by the looks of it she's giving everything she's got!" Bertha, who had been bending over the other systems ran up, "It's moving." Hiccup nodded, "Heading right to a sheltered area in the islets called Wingemaiden Peak." Hiccup reported and Bertha gave a curt nod, "Okay, fire up the jet. You can pilot, right?" Hiccup suppressed a grin, "With Luna around, it'll be a miracle if I don't." then he turned to the controls of the jet they were in, ready to take off at the slightest sign of disturbance that could point to Luna. The jet zapped up and off the runway and Bertha explained Wingemaiden Peak to Hiccup. "The Wingemaidens aren't known for hostility and Luna has always been allies with them. They specialize in hybrid medicine and if Luna's injured that'll mean that that was the most obvious place to go." Hiccup's eyes bugged out, "Wait, there are other hybrids?" Bertha smiled, "Very few, different things make a hybrid; genes, magical rituals, dragon voodoo, science. the list goes on." Hiccup shrugged, "Based on what I've been through, it's possible. Now, let's get permission to land on this island." An hour later, Hiccup and Bertha were racing through the medical wing of the Wingemaiden HQ, led by a worried doctor in training, Minden. As soon as Hiccup saw her he felt like throwing up; Luna's hair was clogged with blood and her arms were bandaged, her stump of a leg was all bloody and obviously infected and worst of all, her wings and tail were freely bleeding, "Can't you do something about that? It's causing her loads of blood loss." One of the nurses shook her head, "Night Fury blood doesn't clot so we're collecting any that is leaking, cleaning it then putting it back in. I know it's cruel but it's our best bet to keep her from dying." Minden sighed, "That's why we're happy to see you. The Haddock line was said to have a Night Fury. Their saliva has healing properties." Hiccup nodded, "Fine, I'll go to Dragon Town to pick him up." And turned around and headed to the hangar in which the jet had been parked. Minutes later, a large, sombre Toothless bounded across the hallways, spitting into the metal bucket Atali had given him. Minden carried the saliva over to Luna's ward and quickly applied it on her wings and tail, relieved to see the blood instantly clot and seal. She looked up at Hiccup's worried face and gave him a reassuring smile, "She'll be okay in a month. We've put the wound into a cast and sent anti-toxins into her blood stream to counter the poison. It'll take her a year to fly again but she will." Hiccup smiled, "So, when will she be sent back to Berk?" Minden gave him a pitying glance and answered, "Probably in a few weeks." Hiccup nodded dumbly, "Thanks, I mean it."
One Month Later..
Luna looked a terrible sight. Her hair went a little below her ears and her arms still showed of scars. Her wings were still healing, but the Night fury saliva had stopped any blood loss. Her split tail only showed some signs of damage. Yes, it was tiring dragging the limp pile of bones and scales weighted down by a cast and she had slipped into five different comas during her time in the hospital, but at least she was happy, thinking about the one, last salute Cameron had given her. Someone knocked on the door, making her sit up. She saw Atali and Minden smiling kindly at her, "What're you doing here?" she asked sullenly, "When you arrived at our medical ward we found mail for you." Atari explained, "But we thought that the excitement wasn't good for you at that time. We came to give it to you." Minden tossed her a parcel with her name on it. She opened it up and gasped, immediately alerting Hiccup who was eating at her house today, "What's wrong?" he asked, dashing into the room, Luna pulled a letter out of the parcel, "Dear Luna, your skills as a hybrid are commendable. A Dragon Relic I have treasured will be yours for evermore. It's from Cameron!" She explained Hiccup raised an eyebrow, "That's great. But what's a Dragon Relic?" "Special relics made by dragon hybrids years ago, they provide different powers to the users depending on which relic you have. There are the Basic Scales, scales of a Monstrous Nightmare, Gronkle and Deathly Nadder, they can only be used by their Timberwhip was made for a Timberjack hybrid, it will control any dragon or hybrid. The Triple Skrill is a piece of glass that allows a Triple Stryke or Skrill hybrid to turn into the other temporarily. The Zippleback Harmonica is what helps Zippleback hybrids create huge explosions. The Terror Relics are hard to find for there are not many Terror hybrids and they are not described well. The best, however, is the Plasma Band, it's a wristband that will give a Night Fury hybrid complete control over their plasma!" she held up a small black band with two acid green eyes staring out, "It's the rarest after the terror relics. Isn't it great?" Hiccup nodded. In his heart of hearts he knew it was going to be okay...
