Chapter 28: View of the Skrill part 2
In the ocean (water) at night, Ocean and the Dragon Speakers along with Black Crystal were looking for Twins and the Skrill. Daniel left his siblings to Gothi it wasn't fair for his siblings to sleep at the house alone
"Ruff, Tuff!" Ocean yells
"Thorston Twins!" Daniel calls
"Where are you guys!" Raven shouted with Smoky on her shoulder
"Ruffnut! Tuffnut!" Achilles yells
"Strike!" Black Crystal roars
They fly back to the academy to see Hiccup, Toothless, Fishlegs and a very tired Meatlug.
"Any sign of them?" Hiccup asked
The Speakers and Black Crystal shook their heads.
"What about the others?" Achilles asked
"The other riders have come in for the night." Fishlegs said, "They're resting their dragons. I don't blame them I mean, look at Meatlug she's sleep-flying." He said
Meatlug was hovering sleepily with lava coming out of her mouth.
"I got some provisions." Hiccup said, "I'm going back out." he said hopping on Toothless
"Wait, what are you gonna do, fly all night?" Fishlegs asked
"If I have to, yes." Hiccup said
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Achilles asked
"Well, I can't rest knowing the twins are lost out there somewhere." Hiccup said
"[sighs] You're right, I we'll go with you." Fishlegs said
Suddenly Meatlug fell on the floor sleeping.
"No, looks like you guys need some rest." Hiccup said, "I'll be fine."
"Hiccup' we're coming too." Ocean said, "Crystal needs to see her mate again."
"Yeah, you need back up." Raven added
"Besides you need all the help you can get to find the twins and the Skrill aka Strike." Daniel said
"You guys are right come on we have to find them." Hiccup said
They nodded and took off leaving Fishlegs with a sleepy Meatlug.
In a stormy sky, Hiccup and the Dragon Speakers along with Black Crystal fly to the stormy sky.
"You know, maybe we've been looking at this whole thing the wrong way." Hiccup said, "Maybe the twins went after Strike." He said
"Or Strike is attracted to lightning maybe if we find the Strike, we find Ruff and Tuff." Raven suggested
"It can't hurt, right?" Daniel asked
The Night Furies growl nervously.
"We've tried everything else." Ocean said, "Come on, guys." She said
As they continue flying they kept avoiding lightning except for Daniel and Crystal they can absorb it. A lightning almost hit Toothless' fake tail fin.
"Whoa! Watch your tail, bud!" Hiccup said
Then a lightning bolt almost hit Hiccup on his metal leg.
"Ah! Ow! And I'll watch my leg." Hiccup said
Everyone minus Daniel and Crystal were having a hard time because the lightning almost hit them.
"Hang in there, Guys!" Hiccup said then a lightning almost hit him, "Okay! Gronckle iron and lightning not a terrific combo." Hiccup said
"You think?" Raven said sarcastically
"Come on, guys get us outta here." Hiccup said
The Night Furies went up to the sky followed by Daniel and Crystal and flies really fast until they saw an island.
"Outcast Island" Achilles said
The dragons growled, "We know, guys but we got no choice." Raven said
"We have to set down and wait out the storm." Ocean said
They nodded and flies on Outcast Island.
In Outcast Island, they landed on area that can see the arena in a far distance. They stayed low and look at the arena to see many Outcasts.
"That's a lot of Outcasts." Achilles said
"What are you up to, Alvin?" Hiccup asked
"All I know is he's planning something big with that Skrill." Ruffnut said appearing beside them.
"Alvin has the Skrill?" Hiccup said then he and the others eyes widen and turn to Ruffnut.
"Wait Ruff? You're-you're alive! I-I don't believe it!" Hiccup said
"How's that even possible?" Daniel asked
"Where's Tuff?" Achilles asked
"He didn't make it, guys." Ruffnut said sadly
The Dragon Speakers and Hiccup's eyes widen in horror, "What?!" they exclaim
Then Ruffnut looks at them before grinning, "Kidding! He's right behind you."
They all turn to see a dead tree behind them.
"What's up, Guys?" Tuffnut voice asked
The Speakers and Hiccup heard his voice but couldn't see him they just stared at the dead tree.
"Cool disguise, huh? [laughing] it's kinda itchy." Tuffnut said
"Uh, yeah." Hiccup said still staring at the tree.
"Not bad." Raven said staring at the tree.
"It's okay" Daniel said staring at the tree.
"It's… nice" Ocean said staring at the tree.
"How did you get in there?" Achilles asked staring at the tree.
"Yeah, yeah, Tuff hollowed out that tree so he couldn't be seen problem is he can't move." Ruffnut said
"And I have bark beetles in my pants." Tuffnut said, "I'm starting to like them."
The Night Furies went to the tree and sniffs at it then Toothless let his tongue out, Nightshade and Sunset cringes at that stench and Flame almost puke.
"Hey, fellas, a little to the left really scratch around down there. See what you can find." Tuffnut said
"That's an image I could do without." Hiccup said
"Same here" the Speakers said
"Wait a second, how did you guys end up here?" Hiccup asked
"Alvin grabbed the Skrill out of the water we decided to follow it." Ruffnut said
"Weird, right?" Tuffnut asked
"Yes" Achilles mutters
"No! Actually, it was good that you followed it." Hiccup said
"We knew that that's why we did it." Tuffnut said
"Okay, let's figure out what Alvin plans on doing with Strike." Ocean said
"Who's Strike?" Ruffnut asked
"Strike is the Skrill and Black Crystal's mate." Ocean said
Hiccup took out a spy glass and looks at the arena to see Outcast bringing in Strike.
"Yep, there it is." Hiccup said
"Yeah." Tuffnut said
"Man, this is not good." Daniel said using his dragon eyes to see in far distance
"No" Tuffnut said
"We are in serious trouble." Hiccup said
"With a capital "T" no, "S."" Tuffnut said, "Wait, would you capitalize "serious" or "trouble"? Both?" Everyone glares at him. "I'll shut up now."
Raven went to the dead tree and punches it creating hole before pulling Tuffnut out of there.
"Thanks Raven." Tuffnut said as he and Raven fist bump
As they look back Daniel and Hiccup saw someone.
"Hang on, Mildew." Hiccup said
"That's weird." Daniel said, "Those look like Berserker soldiers." He said
Hiccup looks at his spy glass to see Dagur.
"Dagur! Dagur and Alvin together." Hiccup said
"With Strike? Really not good." Daniel said
"We have to sneak into town and find out what Dagur and Alvin are up to." Hiccup said, "I can't go, they'd recognize me." He said
"Same here" Raven said
"Dagur recognize me" Ocean said before shivering in disgust
"They'll probably kill me" Achilles said
"I can use my Changewing ability to sneak in but I need back up." Daniel said
"Ruff?" Hiccup said
"Outcast food gives me gas." Ruffnut said
"Yet another image we can live without." Hiccup said
"Okay, Tuff! Looks like you're helping Daniel." Hiccup said, "You two need to go down there and get as much info as you guys can without being seen." He said
"Way ahead of you I'll move like the wind. They won't even see me coming!" Tuffnut said
Daniel camouflaged and went down Tuffnut began to crawl then slip and lands in front of an Outcast soldier.
"Oh! That was great!" Tuffnut said he didn't see Daniel was behind him
"Halt! What are you doing there? And who are you?" the Outcast asked pointing a spear on Tuffnut.
Tuffnut stands up and hesitated, "Who am I? I'm, uh I'm Buffnut." He said,
"Yep, that's it! Berserker Buffnut "BB," they call me, Ol' Buffynut. I was sent by Dagur to check your defenses. Yep! I gotta check 'em out. See if they're strong." Tuffnut said
Daniel, camouflage, face palm at Tuffnut's stupidity.
"Oh, yes! Yes, sir! I'm ready for anything." The Outcast said
"Okay, Good! Now, where's the big meeting?" Tuffnut asked
The Outcast was confused and stares at him.
"You know the pow wow." Tuffnut said
"Why did it have to be Tuffnut?" Daniel thoughts
"You mean Alvin and Dagur?" Outcast said
"Did you seriously just ask me that, soldier? If you think I know the answer, you are sorely mistaken, mister." Tuffnut said sternly, "Did you just ask me that? I've forgotten."
"Uh, so do you want to know?" the Outcast asked
"Don't sass me! I'm still talking about whether or not you did seriously just ask me that!" Tuffnut said
"You've got to be kidding me?" Daniel face palm again
"Alvin's throne room, just opposite the harbor, they're celebrating the treaty, sir." Outcast said
Daniel, camouflage, looks at the Outcast in shock, "He actually believes that?"
"Awesome. Ju uh, just uh, stand there, at attention. Straight, straight back a healthy spine is a happy spine my fine fellow." Tuffnut said
"Yes, sir!" the Outcast said then he sighs in relief when Tuffnut left with a camouflage Daniel.
"Good job Tuff." Daniel said
"AHH! Who said that?!" Tuffnut exclaims
Daniel, camouflage, put his claw on Tuffnut's mouth.
"Tuff, it's just me in camouflage." Daniel said as he lets go.
"Oh" Tuffnut said as they went to the throne room
Meanwhile in the throne room, Tuffnut and Daniel entered without being notice.
Camouflage Daniel listens to the plans while Tuffnut went to the table of food.
"All right, Dagur, let's talk strategy." Alvin said
"Ooh! Strategy! Strategy! I love strategy! You first" Dagur said to Alvin
"Fine. My fleet will lead-"
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, let me stop you there, big boy, try this on for size." Dagur said,
"My fleet, led by the glorious Skrill, will lay siege to the dragon training arena and incapacitate Hiccup and his Night Fury along with the lovely Ocean and her friends their Night Furies while you and your little fleet of rejects blockade their harbor [chuckles]"
"I don't think so, Dagur." Alvin said, "First, I get Berk then, and only then, do you get the Skrill." He said sternly
"Really?" Dagur asked
"Yeah really" Alvin towers at Dagur
"Geez, Al, don't get your skivvies in a bunch" Dagur said, "Fine, we'll do it your way."
Alvin walks away while Vorge walked over to Dagur.
"Remind me why we're working with him again." He asked
"Because we want that Skrill, once we have it, we'll dispose of him" Dagur said
Daniel, camouflage, narrows his eyes at Dagur.
"And I was thinking, there are some really, really fun ways we could do that. See, uh" Dagur was interrupted when he heard someone smacking.
"Who is smacking their food? I h-hate smacking! My father used to smack!" Dagur said looking around to see Tuffnut eating a chicken leg.
Camouflage Daniel's eyes widen in horror as Tuffnut spits the food off his mouth.
"Sorry, I hate it when my mouth does that." Tuffnut said pointing at his mouth, "Cut it out, mouth! Shut up, nose! They don't like each other." He said as Dagur walks over to him.
"Who are you?" Dagur asked threatenly
"[gulps] Uh, me? I'm, uh I'm Buffnut." Tuffnut said, "You know, Buffnut the Berserker." He said
Daniel, camouflage, face palm again.
"You're one of mine? What were you doing back there?" Dagur asked
"Uh, well, I was, uh, composing a poem in honor of your new deal with Alvin, and I got hungry, 'cause poetry is very exhausting." Tuffnut said
Daniel bites off of a groan coming out of his mouth.
"Geez, you gotta have a little something every six lines." Tuffnut said
"A poem, eh? Let me hear it. If I like it, I won't chop your legs off." Dagur said fiddling his axe, "Now!"
"Uh Okay, yeah, definitely need those legs for the running and walking stuff. There once was a village called Berk, run by a big Viking jerk. Blasting him would be thrilling, then you'd go a-skrilling, And show us how to be berserk?" Tuffnut said
Daniel held his breath as Dagur looks at Tuffnut in a few seconds.
"I would go a-skrilling? [laughs] I like it! You can keep your legs! In fact, yak ribs and burly cakes for my friend, Buffnut!" Dagur said then points his axe threatenly, "But no smacking. I hate, hate smacking!"
Mildew walks over with a plate of food then drops it when he saw Tuffnut.
Daniel, camouflage, eyes widen when Mildew saw Tuffnut.
"Poff-nuk!" Mildew said in gibberish words
"Oh, what is your village babbler going on about now?" Dagur asked annoyed
Tuffnut pushes Mildew away, "Uh, so did I mention how much I hate Berk? [laughs] Hey, directions to Berk! North till you smell it, west till you step in it. Am I right, people? Come on." Tuffnut jokes
Everyone, minus camouflage Daniel and Mildew, laughs
Mildew grabs Tuffnut's arms. "Ah! Hurb durble!" Tuffnut pushes Mildew away
"Great idea, babbler! A song! I should sing a song." Tuffnut said, "So Hooligan tribe, won't you come out tonight come out tonight, come out tonight hooligan tribe, won't you come out tonight or die by the light of the moon oh, by the light of the moon oh, by the light of the moon remember to use your fork and your knife and also use your spoon" Tuffnut sang
All the Outcast and Berserkers laughs at that.
"Snerk! Snerk!" Mildew said until Tuffnut elbows him.
"Nobody likes a heckler." Tuffnut said making everyone, minus camouflage Daniel, laughs
"Right?" Tuffnut asked
Back to the others Tuffnut and Daniel explains the plan to the others.
"The plan is to smash those dirty Berkians to pieces with both fleets! It's gonna be awesome." Tuffnut said
"You, uh you do realize we're the Berkians?" Daniel said
"Oh, right." Tuffnut said, "Still gonna be awesome." Tuffnut said
"Two fleets and a Skrill are gonna be pretty tough to beat."
"Hiccup, Alvin said Dagur won't get the Skrill after the attack." Daniel said
"Yeah, they have trust issues." Tuffnut added
"Wait, what did you just say?" Hiccup said
"I said they have trust issues." Tuffnut said
"No, Daniel said "Dagur doesn't get the Skrill until after the attack."" Hiccup said
"Think about it. No Skrill, no alliance. No alliance, no invasion." Achilles said
"Tuff, we need you to get back into town and distract the arena guards." Ocean said
"Toothless and Hiccup are going to free Strike while we mind communicate with Strike." Raven said
"Uh, hang on a sec." Tuffnut said
"What now?" Achilles asked
"I'm pretty sure Dagur threatened to cut my legs off." Tuffnut said
"So?" Ruffnut asked
"Just wanted to get that out there." Tuffnut said, "Ah, fine! I'm going and my legs are on your head." Tuffnut said before leaving but stops, "But not I mean, not you know what I'm saying you'll be thinking about these legs if I lose 'em." He said before leaving
The Dragon Speakers and Black Crystal sits down and hold each other's hands/claws then close their eyes as they use mind communication.
Meanwhile at the arena, the Skrill was still awake in the cage glaring at the two guards he was about sleep until.
"Strike" the Speakers voice said
The Skrill's eyes snap open and let out a low growl.
"Who's there!? And how did you all know my name?!" he roars
"It's alright we are friends" Ocean's voice croons
Strike's eyes widen, "It's you, the one who roared my name."
"Yes, I know your name because someone told me." Ocean's voice croons
"Who?" he asked
"Strike" Black Crystal's voice purrs
Strike's eyes widen in pure shock and happiness when he heard his mate's voice.
"My love is that you?" he asked hopefully
"Yes, my love I miss you so much."
"It's good to hear your beautiful voice again." Strike croons
"So do, I." Black's voice purrs
"Strike, our friends are coming to get you out so don't hurt them." Daniel's voice hissed
"Alright, but what do they look like?"
"One scrawny auburn hair, green eyes, scrawny human with a Night Fury and a blond idiot you can't miss them." Raven voice hissed
Then Strike heard loud clangs! He turns to see the guard on the floor unconscious.
"I think they're here." Strike hissed
"That was quick" Achilles voice grunts
Then Strike looks at his rescuers and his eyes widen in fear.
"They're not your friends!" he roars, "It's the Berserkers!"
The Dragon Speakers and Black Crystal's eyes widen.
"Strike, No!" Black's voice roars
The Berserkers restrain Strike once they open the cage.
"Help me!" Strike roars
"Strike!" the Speakers and Black Crystal's voice roars
Then their mind communication was cut when the Berserkers knocked out Strike.
The Speakers opens their eyes.
"We have to warn Hiccup!" Ocean said before hopping on Nightshade with Vamp on her shoulder and Ruby on Nightshade's pouch
They all nodded before heading to the arena.
At the Arena, Hiccup, Toothless and Tuffnut were in the arena then the speakers, Ruffnut and Black landed.
"Hiccup, the Berserkers took Strike!" Raven said
Hiccup and Tuffnut's eyes widen in shock then they heard someone yelling.
"The Skrill is gone! Sound the alarm!"
"Come on we have to find Strike before the Outcast dose." Ocean said
They all nodded and took off.
Somewhere in near the ocean (water) of the Outcast the Berserkers were about to leave but stop when Alvin and his men came. Hiccup, Black Crystal and the Dragon Speakers landed on a sea stack and watches them.
"Going somewhere, Dagur?" Alvin asked threatenly
"I go where I want, Alvin." Dagur said
"Not with our Skrill, you don't." Alvin said
"It's not yours, it was never yours." Dagur said, "Hello! It's on my belt buckle.
It's on my sail, my shields!"
"We had a deal, Dagur!" Alvin yells
"Yeah, uh, about that deal, I just changed the terms." Dagur said as he cuts the rope that was attached to the sail. The sail moves slightly to revile Strike with ropes attached to his joints while two Berserkers hold it.
"Strike" Black Crystal croons softly
Alvin jumps on Dagur's ship and they started fighting. But eventually Dagur grabs the rope that was attached to the Strike and used it. Dagur pulls the rope to make Strike fire at Alvin.
Alvin was sent on the ocean (water) and started swimming away.
"Tired of running? Wanna try swimming? That won't work either." Dagur said as he pulled the rope to make Strike fire at the water as he did there was electrical sounds and dead fishes came.
"[laughing] Well, that takes care of that." Dagur turn to the Outcast, "Savage, I have a one-time offer for you and your men." Dagur said, "You can join me, or you can join Alvin." He gestured the water with dead fishes, "Your choice."
The Outcast did as they were told. Strike tried to break free.
"Let me go!" Strike roars
Hiccup and the Dragon Speakers saw what just happen and they were shock along with Black Crystal.
"That's not good." Daniel said
"We need to come up with a new plan, guys, and fast." Hiccup said
"I have an idea" Ocean said as she explains the plan to them.
At Outcast Island, the Outcast and Berserkers landed.
"The fleet is ready to sail to Berk Sir" Savage said to Dagur
"Excellent! Now that this whole Alvin thing is behind us, we can lure Hiccup, the lovely Ocean, her friends and their Night Furies into battle!" Dagur said
"Why wait?" Hiccup voice said
They turn around to see Hiccup, the twins, and the speakers.
"We're right here, Dagur." Achilles said glaring at Dagur.
"Us and our Night Furies." Raven said
"You guys" Dagur said looking at them
"We thought we could settle this like real Vikings, just you and us." Hiccup said
"Sir, don't let him bait you." We have the advantage in numbers.
"Ugh! Me and my Skrill against you guys and your Night Furies? I like those odds." Dagur said
"But you forgot one last thing Dagur." Ocean said
Then a stream of lightning came out of nowhere and sinks one of the ships.
Dagur and Strike look up to see Black Crystal flying beside Nightshade.
"We have an ally" Ocean said as Crystal snarls at Dagur
"You have a Skrill!" Dagur yells
"Hiccup, you and Toothless fight Dagur and Strike we'll sink the fleet." Daniel said
Hiccup nodded and flies away with Dagur and Strike following.
Daniel uses his golden/silver lightning plasma blast, Barf and Belch uses their explosion, the Night Furies uses their plasma blast and Crystal uses her lightning.
After they sink the ships they flew off to help Hiccup once they got there they saw Dagur on the floor unconscious while Strike was free.
"I don't think Dagur is going to lead any invasion anytime soon." Daniel said
Strike looks at the Speakers then Black Crystal he smiles and flies over to her.
Black Crystal smiles and flies over to Strike as they got closer they put their heads together and nuzzled each other.
"I miss you so much." Black Crystal purrs nuzzling her mate
"I thought I would never see you again." Strike croons
As they let go the Speakers, Hiccup and the Twins came.
"Guys, let's go home." Hiccup said smiling
"Thought you'd never ask." Raven grins
"I am gonna miss some of those Outcast guys thought they could really carry a tune." Tuffnut said
"I know, right?" Ruffnut said
"Oh jeez" Achilles mutters
"Hooligan tribe, won't you come out tonight come out tonight, come out tonight well, I won't miss Dagur, that's for sure." Tuffnut sang as they took off
"Uh, they could carry a tune, not you." Ruffnut groans
Everyone laughs as they headed home with two happy Skrills.
At the cliff night, Ocean and her friends along with the Riders Dragons were getting know Strike.
"So you fell on the ocean (water) when a strong blizzard came." Neon hissed
"Yes, I tried to swim up but I was out of air then I was frozen in a block of ice." Strike explains sitting next to Black
"Well, I'm glad everything is back to normal sort of." Daniel growls with Calanthe on his lap while Amethyst and Sparky was in his side.
"What do you mean?" Lucky asked
"Dagur became the new chief of the Outcast" Achilles hissed
"Man, we'll have a tough battle with them." Razor Mouth grumbles
"But we have each other and together we can defeat them with unity." Ocean croons
Everyone nodded with a smile as they look up in the starry sky.
