Episode 26: Draco Against Changewings

(The Forest)

Draco had his hands on his hips before looking back at the group of teenagers.

"You should all probably go hide before this gets ugly.." he warned before Camicazi raised a hand.

"Um Draco is it? Who are you?" she asked as Draco looked back at the three Changewings before facing her.

"No one here grasps the concept of the mask. It's supposed to conceal my identity...but my hair and mask do the hiding for me..alright then" Draco stated readying himself as Astrid led the teens out of the area.

"It's time we finished what the queen wanted done, so many months ago" the Changewing (1) stated as Draco chuckled.

"And what's that? To be married, because from what I heard she tends to nag a lot" Draco joked which provoked one of the Changewings to fire a ball of acid that almost struck Draco in the shoulder if he hadn't ducked.

"Oh...forgot that they could do that..." Draco stated sheepishly as two of the Changewings lunged at him as he ducked but was struck by the third one, knocking him to the ground.

"Now your going to witness what happens when you insult the queen!" the Changewing (3) roared as it fired multiple acid-like substances that Draco managed to roll out the way before noticing that they were circling him. Draco readied himself as they lunged at him but he activated his wings and flew in the air much to their surprise as he smiled in response.

"Since when could he fly?" one of them questioned as Draco chuckled. "Surprised? Well come and get me acid breaths!" Draco stated flying off as the three Changewings growled before apparently vanishing leaving many to wonder what happened.

(Waterfall Cave)

Draco soon landed in front of a cave that was also near a waterfall before looking around.

"Okay you managed to lure the Changewings away...but was the other ability Fishlegs told me? It was acid-like substances and..." Draco was soon brought out of his thoughts as he quickly evaded a acid-like ball but noticed that there was no one there.

"Wait a minute...of course...camouflage!" Draco exclaimed as he was struck in the back two Changewings as the third one chuckled.

"What's the matter Draco? Off your game?" the Changewing (3) stated as the others appeared in front of Draco who groaned.

"No...but I remembered your other ability...camouflage but I know one way I can stop you" Draco stated as they all chuckled.

"Like you really know Ryder. Besides how can you defeat three Changewings at once?" the Changewing (2) stated as it was about to fire another acid attack but Draco quickly fired a Plasma Bolt from his hand into the Changewing's mouth stopping the attack.

"What the-? What did you do?" he questioned as Draco chuckled.

"Well you see...when I fought a Gronckle months ago, I blasted it in the mouth and I quickly noticed that doing this would stop a dragons fire power. So now it's two against one with one dragon being unable to fire acid" Draco stated as the Changewings growled.

"That may be true but..." one stated as they all vanished with Draco staying in position as he got ready.

"Okay...focus..." Draco stated as he closed his eyes readying himself.

One of the Changewings lunged at him but he quickly evaded it as he grabbed said Changewing and rammed it to the ground before evading a acid attack from the other Changewing.

"Man you guys are awfully persistent...is your queen trying something new?" Draco asked as the other Changewing surprised him from the front and smacked him near a boulder.

"I've had enough of you mouth! Just die already!" the Changewing (2) roared as Draco grit his teeth before ducking the dragons and ramming it head-first into the boulder before looking back at the two remaining Changewings.

"Okay I'm giving you dragons one last warning...either leave and we end this peacefully...or we resort this in a fight and one of us die...your choice" Draco stated as the two Changewings simply growled in response.

"Why doesn't anyone choose the easy way?" Draco mumbled readying his fists for the the remaining Changewings. He noticed that the Changewings again vanished as he activated his wings before flying near the Waterfall.

"Hey Changewings I bet you can't catch me over here!" Draco called out as he waited for a response but then noticed slight movement in the bodies of water.

"Bingo..." he stated as he then began throwing many Plasma Blasts at the water hoping to hit one of the Changewings. Eventually he hit one of the Changewings before being struck into the rock-hard wall by the other.

"Enough of the games! I will strike you right here and right now!" the Changewing roared out as it was about to bite down on Draco when suddenly a fire-like tornado attack came from out of nowhere hitting the Changewing upon impact. Draco was confused about the attack but simply saved it for later he used both his legs to kick the Changewing back onto the ground.

"Okay...what was that first of all...but I'll have to figure out later...time to finish the job" Draco stated walking over to the Changewing but suddenly felt the ground shake as his eyes went wide.

"Oh crap..." he muttered remembering the certain dragon that had the ability to dig underground. From the ground rose the Whispering Death that Draco had encountered during Snoggletog and to be honest Draco wasn't in the mood for a reunion.

"Well if isn't Draco. Surprised to see me? Admit it you are" the Whispering Death joked as Draco growled at him with his fists clutched tightly.

"I'm surprised your even alive. What? Was the queen desperate to have new dragons?" Draco asked as the Whispering Death chuckled.

"She spared me because she wouldn't risk the thought of losing her top five commanders, other than that you've improved since the last time we met Draco..but you won't be able to defeat me" the Whispering Death said as it went towards the outcold Changewing.

"Alright then...let's do this!" Draco stated as he fired a Plasma Blast with the Whispering Death firing a rung of fire to clash with the blast. Draco readied himself as the Whispering Death simply snickered.

"In time we will meet Draco...but for now you should prepare yourself for the day of reckoning...until then goodbye..." the Whispering Death stated as it fired a ring of fire onto the ground causing a small cloud of dirt to block Draco's view of sight until seconds later it was cleared but noticed that the Whispering Death disappeared along with the Changewing much to his annoyance.

Draco slightly groaned in annoyance but then glowed purple as he reverted back to Hiccup as he sighed.

"Great...the Whispering Death is back and it has the Changewing with him.." Hiccup stated but focused on what happened during his battle with the Changewings. Before it could attack him a fire-like tornado appeared and took out the Changewing which led to Hiccup thinking; is there someone out there with powers like his?

"When I get back I'm going to ask Toothless some questions.." Hiccup stated but then noticed something weird behind the Boulder that the other Changewing laid near. He walked towards it and soon found a triangular-shaped stone that was glowing different colors as Hiccup awed.

"I wonder what this is...maybe Gobber or Fishlegs may know..they do like discovering new things" Hiccup stated walking off with the stone in hand.

Unknown to him the Changwing that laid unconcious near the boulder, it's eyes suddenly snapped open if something had happened and needless to say...someone was in trouble...

To Be Continued...

Well there ends that...also the Whispering Death is actually Toothless's rival from the episode "What Flies Beneath" of Dreamworks Dragons: Riders Of Berk. What did you think of the chapter and I plan on introducing Trader Johann in the next one.
