READ THE CHAPTER!
With The Big Seven
Toothless stretches, waking himself up as the others clean up the camp they made. Looking at them, Toothless smiles when he catches the sight of Hiccup and Merida tossing glances at each other.
Smirking, Toothless uses his tail to trip Merida, making her fall onto Hiccup, make to the two's embarrassment. Eugene, Jack, Jamie, and Rapunzel laughed at the blush the two were sporting on their faces.
Toothless opens his mouth to make a comment when the wind blows, and unfamiliar scents reach him. Tensing, Toothless looks around in alarm, because while the scents weren't familiar, he could clearly smell it was a couple Hybrids and Dragons, a Night Furies more exactly.
"Toothless, what's wrong," Hiccup asked.
Hiccup's hand went to his sword as the others followed his example, reaching for their weapons.
"We're being watched, a Night Furies, Hybrid and Dragon," Toothless said.
As soon as those words exited his mouth, Toothless heard moment from behind, his ears turning towards the sound. Turning around in alarm, Toothless shouted.
"From behind!"
A Hybrid jumped out of the forest, grabbing Toothless and pushing him to the ground. Toothless growled as he tried to fight off his attacker, but shouts of shock caused him to look at his friends, who were also being grabbed. Toothless hissed, but his attacker used this distraction to hit Toothless on the head, not enough to knock him out, but enough to make him dizzy.
"Let us go," Merida shouted. Flames already surrounding her in her rage at being attacked. Hiccup let out a grunt as he was knocked down by a Dragon Night Fury and pinned to the ground, same for Jack, Merida, and Eugene while Jamie and Rapunzel were grabbed by Hybrids.
The Hybrid lifted Toothless up, forcing his hands behind his back before trying them up with black rope. Upon seeing the group struggle, the Hybrid raised a claw to Toothless's throat, who just his scenes back.
All struggling eased as the Big Seven glared at the rope holding his claw to Toothless's throat. Toothless tried to break the rope but found it didn't break at his struggle. He instantly knew what it as.
"Dragon Rope, rope made to keep Dragons and Hybrids from escaping. Can only be cut with claws from a Dragon or Hybrid the right way," Toothless muttered.
The Hybrid glared at Toothless.
"Serves a Slave Master like you right for making slaves out of humans and spirits. The Freedom Fighters will put a stop to beings like you," the Hybrid growled.
Toothless gasped, his eyes widening as he realized just what was happening, his eyes glancing to the bracelets made of his scales on his friend's wrist. Toothless looked back at the Hybrid and shook his head wildly.
"No! Oh Dragon no! These six aren't my slaves! I hate that word and what it means ever since I found out its meaning! These six are my friends," Toothless tried to reason.
"It's true," Rapunzel shouted.
"Toothless is our friend," Jamie yelled.
"He made us these bracelets so we would be protected," Eugene added.
"In case we ran into a Night Fury that would make us its slave," Jack shouted.
"You got it all wrong," Merida yelled.
"So let us go," Hiccup ordered, shouting.
The Hybrid's angry look changed into something much more conflicted as he stared between Toothless and his friends. Finally, the Hybrid sighed, moving his claw away from Toothless's neck.
"I don't know what to do with this information. I thought you were just like the others we ran into. I'm taking you to see the Commander of the Freedom Fighters, the Rebels. She'll know what to do."
"Who's the Commander? I never heard of a Commander of the Freedom Fighters," Toothless asked.
He was ignored as the Hybrid morphed into his Dragon form, picking Toothless up by his shoulders much to his annoyance.
"Hey! I can fly you know! You don't need to carry me!"
Awhile Later
"Hey Toothless," Jamie said.
"Yeah?"
"Who are the Freedom Fighters?"
Toothless looked at Jamie from where he laid on Jack's back. Merida was flying with her fire next to Rapunzel and Eugene, who was on a Night Furies back. Hiccup was also on a Night Furies back but looked displeased and kept looking at Toothless in longing since he was used to flying on his back.
"The Freedom Fighters are a group of Rebels who are against tyrant rule and slavery. They are a thorn in Black Night's side because they keep taking the slaves. He tried to get rid of them, but they always knew how to escape or when to flee. I always thought Freedom Fighters were a brave and bold bunch," Toothless explained.
"And I think we are where they hide out. Look," Hiccup pointed.
Turning their heads, the Big Seven saw what looked like a base carved out of a mountain. Night Furies and Hybrids were flying around, however, some stopped and stared at them when they passed.
"Whoa," Rapunzel said.
The group flew or was carried into the base until they reach a large room with Hybrids, Dragons, and shockingly, people. One Hybrid was standing in the front of the room and looks at them.
The Hybrid had black scales, short black hair that went lighter as it went down, purple eyes, purple sleeveless shirt, purple shorts, purple boots with a black bottom with two metal hooks on each boot. She was clearly a Night Fury Hybrid.
Shifting, the Hybrid dropped Toothless to the floor, Toothless rolling to prevent a hard fall. Toothless glared at the Hybrid. The Hybrid ignored this and grabbed Toothless's wrists from behind his back and pulled him to follow.
Merida, Hiccup, Rapunzel, Eugene, Jack, and Jamie immediately followed, easily pushing people out of the way to get to their friend who everyone was now glaring at.
The Hybrid stopped in front the purple-eyed Night Fury, pushing Toothless in front of him.
"Commander, we found this Hybrid who these kids call Toothless. He claims that these six humans are his friends and that they only wear his scales to protect them from those who would make them their slaves. I didn't know what to make of it so I brought him to you."
The Commander, the purple-eyed Hybrid, looked at Toothless with a raised eyebrow. As she stared, she took notice of his eyes and gave a small gasp and her eyes widen slightly.
"Can it be," the Commander asked to herself.
"Who cares!? We should just kill him!"
Gasping, the Big Seven and the Commander turned towards a human who was pointing his finger at Toothless.
"He could have brainwashed them into thinking that! I've seen it happen before!"
"He's right! Just kill him!"
"No! We won't let you," Rapunzel screeched.
The six of them surround their friend, grabbing their swords. They planned on revealing their powers if they have to. Toothless gasped, turning his head to look at them in shock.
"Guy's be careful! Freedom Fighters are known for their fighting!"
The Commander gasped, her eyes going wide as she stared at Toothless.
"That voice. It can't be," the Commander said.
Flashback
"We'll always be friends, right," she asked.
"I don't want to be friends," he said.
"What," she screeched.
"I don't want to be friends when we can be something more."
"...Really?"
"Yes."
End Of Flashback
The Commander's eyes widen even more with hope as she looked at Toothless and with a deep breath, steeling herself. Taking a step closer to Toothless, she opens her mouth and sang out loud.
The Commander-
You'll never take us alive.
Everything went silent. Every Rebel looked at their Commander in shock. Merida, Hiccup, Rapunzel, Eugene, Jack, and Jamie looked at her in shock as well, but Toothless looked at her with eyes wide as can be and was slightly shaking.
"What...did you...just...say," Toothless shakenly asks.
The Commander takes a step closer to Toothless and repeats herself.
The Commander-
You'll never take us alive.
Toothless lifts himself as far on his knees as he could go, lifting his head higher to stare the Commander in the eyes, which made his eyes flash with recognition.
"Say it one more time," Toothless asked.
The Commander takes a step forward, leaning her head down to Toothless.
The Commander-
You'll never take us alive.
Toothless become blank and lowered his head. Suddenly, he started chuckling. After laughing for a few seconds, he lifted his shaking head to look at the Commander with a smile. Opening his mouth, Toothless sang to.
Toothless-
We swore that death will do us part.
They'll call our crimes a work of art.
This time, the Commander gasped, backing away with her eyes wide and her hands to her mouth, breathing heavily. Toothless just continued to smile at her, tilting his head like he was waiting for her to do something.
The Commander lowered her hands and smiles with hope and sang again.
The Commander-
You'll never take us alive.
Toothless-
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners.
Toothless cut in right away, singing along. As they sang, the smiles on their faces grew bigger and much happier.
Both-
Partners in crime!
After shouting the last line, the Commander and Toothless started to laugh, but this laugh was the type people laughed when they are just so happy. Everyone looked at the two in shock and some of them looked wary. The Commander jumped at Toothless, wrapping her arms his neck with a happy squeal.
"Night Scale!"
Toothless laughed.
"Midnight!"
The six gasped, looking at each other in shock before they laughed. Of all places and ways to meet Midnight, this is how they meet her. Midnight used a claw to cut Toothless free and pulled him up, looking at him in excitement.
"Night Scale, I-"
"Toothless. I changed my name when I run away five years ago," Toothless stated.
Midnight laughed.
"Well, Toothless, I missed you so much!"
Toothless smiled.
"Midnight, I missed you too. I wanted to see you again. I didn't know how to find you."
Midnight smiled and suddenly, she was kissing Toothless. Toothless's eyes widen before he wrapped his arms around Midnight.
"Yes," Hiccup shouted.
Hiccup jumped, raising a fist into the air with a smile on his face. Rapunzel and Jamie clapped, jumping up and down. Jack, Eugene, and Merida gave each other a three-way high five.
Toothless and Midnight pulled away from each other at the cheers. Toothless blushed, rubbing the back of his neck as Midnight looked at them.
"And who might you six be," Midnight asked.
"I'm Hiccup, Toothless's Bond Brother."
"Princess Merida of Dunbroach."
"I'm Jack Frost."
"Jamie Bennett. Nice to meet you!"
"Princess Rapunzel of Corona!"
"Eugene Fitzherbert."
"They are my friends. I met Hiccup five years ago and when he left Berk, I went with him. We met Merida, Rapunzel, Eugene, Jack, and Jamie awhile later and we've been together ever since. We are the Big Seven, the only ones who can save the world from the Dark Four. But to do that, we need to awaken our full power. Hiccup and I are the only ones who need to awaken them," Toothless explained.
"Um, excuse me, but what is going on?!"
Turning, the eight of them looked at the Hybrid.
Midnight laughed, smiling.
"Well, reuniting with an old flame that never went away is what I'll say," Midnight said.
Toothless groaned, "I will never be in envy how you barely blush when you get embarrassed."
Midnight smirked.
"Yeah, but, did you say his name is Night Scale? As in, the son of Black Night, the Alpha of Night Furies, our very enemy," the Hybrid asked.
Midnight shrugged.
"He did say he changed his name, didn't he? Besides, when I still lived there at the nest, Toothless, or Night Scale, was the only one I could trust fully. Even more then Nightcore and not just because Toothless was my best friend or the fact I loved him."
"Then what reason then?"
Midnight looked at Toothless.
"Did you tell your friends?"
Toothless shook his head and smiled. Midnight laughed.
"Well, they're about to find out!"
Midnight turned to everyone.
"I didn't get away with freeing slaves that easily. Some of the things I did I needed help to get into the places I needed to get into, someone only on the inside and from one people would least expect. We all know I had a partner, but I never told anyone who it was."
Slowly, everyone made the connection and shouted at the same time.
"HE'S YOUR PARTNER?!"
Midnight and Toothless laughed, high-fiving.
"Yep, partners in crime; saving slaves and freeing them," Toothless said.
"Toothless discovered me freeing saving one night and after I helped them escape, he cornered me and told me he knew and wanted to help. I said no at first, but then I noticed some things I did going under the radar, unnoticed. That's when I found out Toothless was hiding things I did, making sure I went undiscovered. Seeing that he wouldn't stop helping me, I let him become my partner," Midnight explained.
Toothless looked at his friends.
"I wanted to tell you guy's, but if you ran into the wrong Night Fury and slipped, you would have gotten killed, regardless of wearing the bracelet or not."
Their shock fading, the six of them looked at each other and nodded at the reasoning.
"Any other surprises," Hiccup asked.
Toothless shook his head.
"Everyone! Go back to your activities," Midnight ordered.
Her comrades going back to whatever they were doing, Midnight turned to them and smiled.
"How about the eight of us go someplace to talk?"
Later
"So that's what you meant about the Big Seven and all that stuff," Midnight said.
They were sitting in a room with a large window, big enough for a Night Fury to fly through.
"Pretty much. I need to face my father and Hiccup needs to his father and tribe," Toothless explained.
Midnight rubbed her chin in thought as she remembered something. Snapping her fingers, Midnight looked at them.
"So that's what she meant!"
Midnight looked at them.
"Yesterday, I went out to Red Deaths nest. I found out that if you focus on something besides her singing, you can remain free of her control. Anyway, I overheard her saying, well, more like singing, what her plan was. She plans on killing Black Night and Nightcore to get the Night Furies under her command and I overheard her saying that she'll wait to for you to get to her, but if you take to long, she'll go after you. I also saw Nightcore and a couple other Night Furies there, so they know what Red Deaths, planning, but that means your father and people know about you now," Midnight explained.
Toothless groaned. "Great."
"This isn't what we planned on at all," Hiccup said.
"I vote on going after Black Night first," Jack said.
"I'm in on that," Eugene added.
"The faster we get Black Night done, the better. Hopefully, free some slaves while we're at it," Merida said.
"Still, it was nice meeting you Midnight," Jamie said.
"Yeah, I hope we get to talk again tomorrow, "Rapunzel said.
Midnight smiled and stood up.
"Speaking of tomorrow, you guy's should get some rest. This can be your room. We can talk more tomorrow. I got stuff to do being the Commander of the Freedom Fighters and since I know you're gonna ask, I became the Commander about three years ago."
Midnight walked over to the door, glancing over her shoulder.
"Good-night, Big Seven."
"Good-night!"
