"So this is the big scroll that Lloyd's been talking about? Doesn't look special to me" Snotlout said with a eye roll as he looks at it. "Give me that" Hiccup said as he snatches it from Snotlout's hands. "It looks pretty special to me Snotlout and if Lloyd didn't want it in his own universe than it must be pretty powerful" Fishlegs said looking at it. "It happens when Kai has it?" Astrid asks. Hiccup shrugs "I don't know he never said". "So we just need to wait for tonight's auction and give it to Kai then he will be able to fight" Hiccup explains. "How do we get in though?" Fishlegs asks. "I know! We blast our way in!" Tuffnut said excited. "We can't risk them hurting the others" Hiccup said.
"How about we do stealth approach?" Astrid asks. "I say we still go in blasting" Tuffnut suggests. The others role their eye but Hiccup's light up a idea on his face. "Oh he's got that idea face!" Fishlegs said excited. "What idea face?" Hiccup asks with raised eyebrow. "Oh that face whenever we need a idea ASAP and you always comes up with something that always saves our butts" Ruffnut said with a smile. "That we should just accept it and and never question it because it would be a waist of time" Snotlout adds with a annoyed tone. "Well I do have one and it's perfect but there's something we need to risk and if I know Viggo it's the best course of action" Hiccup explains. "Okay we are going to do something similar to the last auction only we will need someone else will need to be a rich guy" Hiccup said. "It's going to have to be someone who's clueless" Fishlegs said thinking. "Someone who will put up a fight when things get ruff" Astrid said thinking. "Someone the hunters wouldn't know" Ruffnut said. "Someone who's as clueless as Snotlout" Tuffnut said. "Hey!" Snotlout yells. "But who would we find that clueless and irresponsible?" Hiccup asks. Everyone is racking their heads but Snotlout just sighs and raises his hand. "I know the perfect guy" Snotlout said reluctantly.
At Berk a hour later
"You want to do what!?" Stoick asks Hiccup in the counsel chamber with Gober and Spitelout. Hiccup was sleeping in the corner next to Toothless, Skull crusher, and Hookfang Snotlout was in the chamber too. "We need Spitelout to infiltrate Viggo's auction while we rescue some people with very special powers" Hiccup explains. "And why should we agree too help some random people we don't even know?" Gober asks skepticism clear in his voice. "Why should we agree after you lost the gold last time?" Spitelout asks. "Dad this is very important" Snotlout tried to reason with him. "Be quiet boy oh" Spitelout orders his son. "We won't use gold this time we will use rocks and a couple of coins but we need Spitelout most of all he's the perfect candidate for it" Hiccup reasons. "Well I'm in who are these people anyway?" Spitelout asks. "Hold up!" Stoick said putting his hands up. "Dad come on approving this plan will be the best for all" Hiccup begs his father. "Besides I would like to meet these people" Gober said with a hearty laugh. Stoick sighs seeing it didn't really matter on what he said. "Fine you can go but I still don't see why you're going through so much trouble for strangers? What's so special about them?" Stoick asks. "You need to see it to believe" Snotlout answers. "Well let's go and rescue them" Spitelout said getting up and leaving with Snotlout and Hookfang. "Be careful son don't risk your life for some strangers" Stoick said to Hiccup before he walked out the door. Hiccup stops and gives his father a warm smile "I will". And with that they left for Viggo's auction.
Night Viggo's auction has just started and Spitelout has arrived on Yohan's boat that he lended
"So dad make sure you stick to the plan don't do anything stupid for the fun of it" Snotlout tells his dad who shakes him off. "I got it boy oh you just play your part" Spitelout tells his son. Snotlout doesn't fully believe in his father but he knows it's too late to back out now. As Spitelout walks into the auction the sun starts to set. "Everyone ready?" Hiccup asks looking at the group who has hidden below deck with their dragons. "Yep" they all nod. As the guards leave the dock for the auction has started the dragon riders slowly move out and sneak to where they think the ninja are being kept. "Okay Ruffnut, Tuffnut you stand watch and Astrid make sure they don't cause anything for no reason" Hiccup orders. Astrid nods and the twins groan in annoyance at him. Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Snotlout move quietly through the cave as Toothless and the other dragons take out any and all guards that come there way.
"Good job Hookfang now lets go rescue some ninja" Snotlout said running around and looking in the cells for them. "Snotlout is that you?" They hear Nya call out. "Yes we're here, where are you ?"Hiccup calls out for them. "Yes we're here come quick!" Lloyd shouts next. They follow the sound of their voices to the very last cell to find them all chained. "Where's Kai!" Fishlegs asks picking the lock. "We don't know we've only seen him three times since we got here" Jay answers urgently. "When you saw him, how did he look and what how was he feeling?" Hiccup asks as Fishlegs opens the cell door and moves on to the chains.
"The first time they branded him, the second and third time was so we could only check his injuries weren't infected" Zane answers. "Why didn't you use your powers?" Snotlout asks. "Because we are chained to Vengestone! And that drains our powers! Kai didn't but he was too weak" Cole answers shaking his chains in anger for affect. "How long ago did you see him?" Hiccup asks. "About a half hour before you came" Lloyd answers as Fishlegs gets their chains off. "Viggo wanted to check the dragon eye one more time for whispering death fire and that if we tried to escape we would be Skrill food. By the way what's a Skrill?" Nya said. "You don't want to know besides it would probably either just bond or more likely only eat Jay" Fishlegs answers as all their chains come off. "Why is it always me who almost gets eaten?" Jay asks out loud. The ninja test out their powers in small amounts to make sure there working which they are.
"You said Kai was weak, how weak?" Hiccup asks them urgently. "Barely could stand his shirt had been ripped up but Zane fixed it best he could" Lloyd answers. "Oh and don't forget the part where he's pretty much terrified of me!" Nya shouts in anger stamping her feet. "He's afraid of water not you Nya, he's your big brother he would never be afraid of you" Jay said putting a arm around her shoulder. "I know after what they put him through it's just frustrating" Nya grumbles. "Will the scroll be able to heal him and energize him even when he isn't holding it anymore?" Hiccup asks. The ninja perk up at the sound of the scroll except Zane he just puts his head down in shame at it. "So you did bring it? Where is it?" Cole asks. "We gave it to Spitelout" Fishlegs answers. The ninja exchange confused glances at each other. "My dad he's is distracting Viggo" Snotlout answers with a eye roll. "You gave the second most powerful artifact ever and you gave it to some stranger!" Lloyd screams clearly frustrated. "We need to find Kai" Zane said urgently. They all nod their heads and run outside to where the others we're waiting. "Everything going to plan?" Astrid asks seeing the faces of the others. "Yep. I knew Viggo couldn't resist showing off his prize which is why we just need to hope Spitelout won't mess it up" Hiccup answers. "I kinda want to see what happens if he does" Ruffnut said with a mischievous smirk. "None of you opened the scroll then?" Nya asks with a raised eyebrow. "No what would happen would our hair set on fire!?" Tuffnut asks excited. "Of course it wouldn't" Fishlegs said with a chuckle. The ninja don't answer and just put their hoods on. "Let's go" Hiccup said as he climbed on Toothless and as the rest of the ninja climbs on to too the other dragons.
Kai's view
"Remember what to do or the blue one gets fed to the Skrill" Ryker warns as he takes off Kai's chains. "Yeah, yeah amaze the crowd so they'll buy the dragons" Kai said sarcastically as he felt around at his raw skin. "And if you try anything I'm feeding your sister to a scaldron" This time it came from Viggo. Kai glares at Viggo but knows better to try anything stupid. Kai was then lead on to a stage in a woods clearing where many rich looking men had come to buy the dragons. Kai's visible wounds had healed but the mark on his back still throb in pain. He was way to tired to really show what he could do but he'd have to try for his family's sake. "And behold the never before seen to the public! The Fire Master!" Viggo announces as Kai gets pushed up onto the stage. The crowd is a mix of cheers and skepticism but either way they we're interested. "See as he has mastered the fire of many dragons!" Viggo continues. That was his cue. Kai shot two different flames in the air one of natter and the other a Razorwhip. The crowd cheered at this but Kai wasn't done.
He continues this making shapes of all the dragons in all type of fire he's seen even making it look like a whispering death was going to eat them before dispersing. The crowd cheers and Viggo smiles and nods to Kai telling him it's over. But before Ryker could chain him again someone in the crowd stood up. "If he's really all that let's see how he can do in a fight!" The man yells. Annoyance crosses Viggo's face for a second but is gone quickly and he smiles. "Of course if you can beat him in a fight then you can have a free dragon of your choice!" Viggo yells to the man. Kai sighs not really wanting to fight the guy but he knows he doesn't have a choice. The man walks up on stage carrying two spears and one looks oddly familiar just like the man. "What is your name my good man?" Viggo asks in the middle of the stage. "Spitelout yorgonson" He replies proudly. Viggo's smile turns into a shocked scowl at the man's name. "You wouldn't happen to know Snotlout Yorgenson?" Viggo asks coldly.
"He's my son" Spitelout replies.
"Ryker check the cells guards arrest him!" Viggo orders pointing at Spitelout. "That was some show lad no wonder the riders came to rescue you!" Spitelout said as he kicked and punched the guards away. One guard grabbed Kai and tried to pull him away but Kai burned the skin off his arm. "They told me to give you this don't see what help it would bring" Spitelout said. He throws the other spear to Kai and he gets a tingling in his arms as he realizes what he's holding. "Give me that!" Viggo yells trying to take it from Kai. "Oh you are in for a world of pain" Kai said with a laugh as he opens the scroll.
All of a sudden Kai is enveloped in fire his hair and eyes glow with it as Viggo walks back. The crowd screams and runs as Kai shoots blasts at them with the scroll. "I'm going to enjoy this" Spitelout said as he takes a seat to watch everything unfold. "What is that!?" Viggo shouts pointing at the scroll of forbidden spinjitzu. "Just something I've always wanted to try" Kai answers almost sinisterly. His burn marks heal, his cuts close and all of a sudden he feels great! "Grab him you fools" Viggo orders his guards. Most of the smart ones run away terrified the others try to disarm Kai only to get blasted into the ocean or screaming in pain. "Now how about we have a chat?" Kai asks as he points the scroll at Viggo who's started running away. Kai rolls his eyes and blast a wall of fire around Viggo as he shields his eyes. "That should do for now I just want to cause your brother real pain like he did me!" Kai screams at Viggo who cowers in terror at Kai. He summons his dragon that Viggo stares at in amazement as he fly's off looking for Ryker. He's so focused on the ground though he doesn't notice when he fly's into the riders. "Kai! You're okay!" The ninja scream. The riders look at Kai in awe at his dragon which in their opinion is the coolest so far. But they are slightly terrified at the sight of him when looking into his eyes he almost doesn't look human.
"Where's my dad!?" Snotlout asks. "He's fine he's somewhere near the docks" Kai answers. "And Viggo?" Astrid asks. "Trapped in a wall of fire" Kai answers with a shrug. "That scroll is awesome you look so dangerous and cool with it! Blow something up!" Tuffnut yells excited. "What about the dragon eye?" Hiccup asks. Kai gets furious at that question why would he want what made him suffer? He clutches the scroll tighter and the fire n his head glows brighter. "Kai I think you need to give us that scroll" Jay said calmly. "What! No I need it so I can make Ryker suffer like he did for me!" Kai yells at them. The dragons start growling and the riders tense. "Kai the scroll is corrupting you don't do something you'll regret" Lloyd warns. "Oh I won't regret this" Kai said sinisterly. Before anyone could do something Kai zooms past them looking for Ryker. The others follow close behind until Kai finally spots him at the forge grabbing weapons. Kai's dragon roars and dives as Ryker looks up absolute terror crosses his face. Kai lands and his dragon disappears with the other riders close behind. "Get away from me you devil!" Ryker shouts at Kai. He brandished his sword and swung but it melted before even touching him. Kai just smirks and shoots a ring of fire around Ryker trapping him. "Kai drop the staff!" Zane screams but Kai doesn't hear him.
"I knew this would happen he has too much bent up anger!" Lloyd shouts. "What's going to happen if he doesn't drop it?" Fishlegs asks. "It's likely that we will not want to be on the island when that happens" Jay answers. "Sounds exciting!" Tuffnut said and Ruff nods her head in agreement. "By exciting you mean Kai has the potential to incinerate everything and everyone on the island!? Including us?" Nya asks them sarcastically yelling at them. "Okay slightly less exciting but exciting still" Ruffnut said. "We need to get that away from him!" Hiccup said. "How? If we get close our skin will melt off!" Snotlout asks. "Can any of you get close?" Astrid asks the ninja who shake their heads. "He's too unstable if we touch the scroll the same time as him it could cause massive damage" Lloyd explains.
Kai is now right over Ryker in the middle of the flaming circle the spear aimed at Ryker's heart. "Kai! Don't do this I'm sorry we left you I had no choice!" Snotlout screams at him. Kai hesitates a he holds Ryker to the ground he looks up his eyes seem more human all of a sudden. "We need to convince him to drop it himself!" Cole shouts. "I know he hurt you and you have every right to be mad but it would make you no better than him" Lloyd shouts out. Kai still doesn't let go but the flames on his head die down a bit. "We don't know what he did to you to make you so angry but you will get through this" Hiccup shouts. That seems to make things worse as Kai stands straight up and looks Hiccup dead in the eyes. "You want to know what he did to me? Just for the fun of it to hear me scream in pain?" Kai shouts with the anger of a eruption. Kai turns around and takes off part of his shirt to show the bloody fist mark Ryker gave him. The riders all look shocked now questioning whether or not to spare Ryker.
Kai puts his shirt back on and is about to strike when Nya shouts out. "Kai! If you do this you'll be just like your worst nightmare! You will become what you've always hated a villain someone who destroys instead of protects. Put down the staff I will help you we all will but you will become just like him!" Nya shouts. That makes Kai stagger back he looks at Ryker cowering at his feet."Don't make the same mistake I did Kai" Zane yells. Kai looks at his hands full of power it felt wrong. Kai looks at the staff and before he could change his mind he throws it as far as he can. Ryker gets up and runs and Kai just stands there as the fire burns out. When he turns around the ninja tackle him with a bear hug and fall to the ground laughing. Kai can't help but laugh himself a sweet happy laugh. "I'm sorry I don't know what happened" Kai apologizes as they get up. "It okay bud you've been through a lot but you look better guess the scroll did some good" Cole reassured Kai. "Umm speaking of which where did it go?" Jay asks looking around. "Right here" they hear a voice say. Everyone turns to see Viggo holding the scroll in his hands Ryker next to him along with a whole village worth of hunters.
"Viggo you're going to pay!" Hiccup screams and Toothless growls. "You are all clearly out numbered even with your dragons" Viggo said gesturing around him. "Hiccup he's right what do we do?" Astrid asks getting her axe out. "Not even we could take out this many hunters" Tuffnut said counting them. Hiccup looks around but can't think of anything he looks at the ninja who are ready to attack. What do I do? Hiccup thinks to himself. The riders are looking at Hiccup for a idea but for once he's got nothing.
Ninja
What to do what to do? Lloyd thinks to him frantically. If they got captured again who know what would happen to them. Lloyd looks at each of the ninja not even spinjitzu could fix this. Or could it? "Riders don't get worried or freak out!" Lloyd yells out. The riders look at him confused along with the ninja. Ryker laughs hard. "What could you do that would take out our whole army of lethally trained hunters?" Ryker asks. "Yeah we are out numbered and out weapons" Fishlegs said. "After all that we're doomed" Snotlout said in a annoyed tone. "This" Lloyd said. "NINJA OPERATION GOLDEN! RIDERS TRUST US" Lloyd screams. The ninja smile wide at this then one by one they do spinjitzu. "FIRE!", "LIGHTNING!", "EARTH!", "ICE!", "WATER!", "ENERGY!" they each scream. They form together and make a golden tornado that gets so big you could see it clear from Berk.
"What's this!" Viggo screams. The hunters try to run but they get sucked in to the tornado along with Viggo and Ryker. "What are they doing!?" Astrid yells. "The Tornado of creation!" Hiccup answers. "Awesome!" The twins yell at the same time. Hunters scream as they get pulled into the tornado only even though the riders are the closest they don't get sucked in. Except for Ruff and Tuff who jumped in and were lost to the golden light. "Why aren't we getting sucked in!?" Fishlegs yells over the noise. "They must have enough control to suck what they want in but maybe not out" Hiccup suggests. As the tornado gets bigger more items get sucked in cages, weapons, people, even a boat.
Finally the tornado dies down and the ninja separated and stopped spinning looking up to admire their work. "What you think?" Lloyd asks. The riders gawk at what the ninja created a giant spinning wheel. (I know it's not original but I couldn't think of anything better plus I thought it was funny).
"What's it called?" Snotlout asks. "We call it a Ferris Wheel usually for entertaining children makes great cages" Cole explains with a smile. What they had made was a giant wheel that was somehow spinning with hunters trapped inside dragon proof cages that were shape like circles. It was at least the size of a ten monstrous nightmares in hight and width. With the support being wooden while at least fifteen cages had hunters five or four hunters each in them clearly trying not to throw up.It had designs imprinted on it in the middle there where pictures of the dragons with Toothless in the middle while the supports had paintings of each element.
"Umm where is Viggo, Ryker, and the twins?" Snotlout asks. The ninja smile wide clearly trying not to go into a fit of laughter. "Yeah them jumping in was unexpected to say the least" Zane said. "So we built something different for them" Nya said. "Something I designed" Kai said with a satisfying smile. "So where are they?" Astrid asks getting impatient. The ninja summon their dragons and once again the riders are fascinated by Kai's, Nya's, and Lloyd's. Kai's was a lava red with lava in between its scales along with sharp teeth that looked like metal yet to cool off and eyes the colour of yellow fire. Nya's is a light blue with red snout and ocean water under its scales like veins. Lloyd's was green with and you could feel the energy coming off it as it moves as they all take off. Once they get into the air they have the perfect view of what Kai built. He had made a giant pool of lava digging a extremely deep hole in the ground with Ryker and Viggo in the middle of it standing on a metal island cage with spikes. With last but not least the twins on top of the cage with what look like frost suits to keep them cold yapping away. "Effective" Astrid approves. "Yeah there's no worse revenge then having no choice but to listen to the twins yap about something" Snotlout said with a eye roll. "So how long till we going to let them out?" Jay asks. "Well the lava should cool off in a day or so and Zane made special ice that's going to keep them from getting burned mostly. And the twins we will get them in around a hour if that's cool with you guys?" Kai explains and asks.
"Yeah totally but what about the scroll?" Hiccup asks. "Right here" Cole yells with a glove on. He throws it to Hiccup who catches it that's when Ryker and Viggo notice them.
"Come down here and fight me like a man!" Ryker yells at Kai in particular. Kai fly's down and the twins go quiet hoping he blasts them. The riders and ninja aren't sure if they should help him but they know he's got this. "After all you've put me through I want so bad to burn you alive very slowly and painfully and make you cry for your mother." Kai said slither wing venom in each word as he glares at them both.Ryker and Viggo close their eyes waiting for Kai to burn them alive but he just smiles smugly."But I've been taught that holding on to anger gets one nowhere so I'm just gonna leave you here and let go. By the way thanks for all the new types of fire now I'm twice as strong. Enjoy the twins I hear they're amazing at conversationalist and you will never see us again so get a good look" Kai finishes. Ryker and Viggo open their eyes dumbfounded as Kai fly's away and the twins do their usual banter.
"We will meet again and you will pay for this embarrassment!" Viggo yells out. The riders ignore him and fly away the twins know that the lavas fake and they can just walk away anytime they please. The Ferris wheel is still moving as they leave.
Stay tuned there's more to come they still need to come home
