As the Night Fury blurred across the skyline, the people of the city of Berk looked on in amazment. Never before had a Berk ship had such excellent speed, mixed with coloring of the ship it was a spectacle to behold. As they soared over the city, they soon found themselves to be in the next county over and quickly turned around.
As thy re-Entered the Berk city limits, Hiccup looked over at the Fuel Cell status bar and smiled as he turned to Fishlegs. "Its still at 100% even after a three hour flight" Fishlegs nodded with a smile as he pulled a hologram displaying the fuel cells information.
"With a fuel cell this powerful it'd take exactly...380.999976 hours to delpete 5% of the battery...its amazing!" he yells in glee as Hiccup's smile widens further. The two soon returned to the Academy and parked the ship back in the garage, landing slowly. As they shut down the ships engine a loud sound erupted from outside. A sound that the two knew all too well. "Another attack already?!" Hiccup shouted as he rushed to the exit alongside Fishlegs. The two young men rushed around the garage grabbing what they needed. Fishlegs grabbed two of Hiccup's spare laser pistols and Hiccup grabbed his own modified fire and ice pistols. The two ran outside and took a look around, the carnage they saw overwhelmed them.
The Academy's main building was destroyed and covered in fire and ash. The cadets and officers stormed out to hold down the fort, while the commanding officers stayed inside with the technicians to plan their next move. Probably a bad idea given the building was under heavy fire from a horde of Draghoons (The official Name for the aliens that attacked). Draghoon Type 1- The Gronkle.
Gronkles are large and tank like, they have yellow green skin with green rock like plating over their arms, legs, back and the long tails they sported. They were the strongest of the Draghoons, though also the slowest and dumbest. They, like all draghoons, don't use guns. They instead use their own bodies given their biological structures are slightly altered from their brethren. They are able to fire balls of flame from their throats, able to melt straight through solid steel. These were the ones currently tearing through the Academy's cruisers and tanks with ease. Wouldn't be best to take on one of them let alone a horde.
Hiccup turned his attention then over to the Deadly Nadders, three of them opening fire on the main hall. They were slim, almost as slim as Hiccup himself. But they were brutal. They were only 6 inches shorter than the Gronkles, which stood at 7'0 even. These 6'6 beasts were sly and blue scaled creatures, built similar to a human. Save for the protruding spikes from their backs, long tails, misshapen arms and legs and slawed hands. Oh and the fire breath. They are able to grow long yellow spikes from their backs, which they use to tear through, you guessed it, steel.
As Hiccup's mind contemplated what to do next, Fishlegs began to activate the Night Fury once more and pulled Hiccup inside, and out of his trance. "Woah! Woah! What are we doing?" Hiccup asks as a panicked Fishlegs prepared for lift off and activated the weapons systems. "We're saving the academy.." Fishlegs replied as Hiccup smirked and walked over to the pilots seat, setting the ship on Autopilot. He and Fishlegs both nod as they take off to the weapons stations. Turret systems in the back of the ship firing hot plasma at 120,990 meters per second (270646.922 mph). Hiccup had to admit, it was a good idea getting Ruff and Tuff in to help wit this. Hopefully they all lived to see it pay off.
Hiccup moved his scope towards the tall yet slim orange scaled spiky Monsterous Nightmares that approached the cafeteria. It was a ghastly beast who was able to set its whole body ablaze manually. Unlike his brethren, the M.N.M. only fired straight forward streams of flame from its hands. Hiccup quickly opened fire on the M.N.M. using a newer weapon that they recently installed, Hiccup nicknamed it the frost cannon. It fired concentrated beams of ice that were able to put out flames as hot as 2,300 degrees. As he fired the first beam, a smile crossed his face. The 's falmes had been put out and its body was now slowing down. Hiccup applied more ice to the creature, causing its body to become so brittle that it shattered as Snoutlout swung his axe at it. Hiccup's brash cousin looked up and then swiftly looked back down, not acknowledging Hiccup (per the usual).
As Hiccup continued his Nightmare assault, Fishlegs opened fire with the plasma Turrets, ripping through about 12 Zippleback. The zippleback were...special. They were green and yellow scaled, about 2 inches shorter than the Gronkle and had incredibly sharp teeth. They also had two heads and two tails. A unique feature of theirs? One head spits gas and the other spits fire to ignite a larger flame. They weren't the brightest of beasts. Fishlegs preoccupation with them was soon over when he found a larger , black figure standing near the entrance to the Academy.
"H...hiccup!? Is that what i think it is?!"
Hiccup whipped his head around to see what had drawn his best friend's attention. "Oh my Thor...its a Night Fury...a real one" He had been fascinated with the leegnd of the black sclaed Night Fury for as long as he could remember. No one had ever seen one before now. He looked closely at it. It was big. about 5 inches shorter thanthe Gronkle. Its body was...big to say the least. Arms were large, legs and upper body too. Mid riff slightly skinny. It stod there firing blue plasma blasts from its mouth, similar to Hiccup's own ship. Hiccup had gone as far as to actually name a ship after this mythological beast.
Hiccup turned fire to the Night Fury...but missed. The damn thing moved so swiftly and jumped down to the ground, swinging one of its large arms and sending a cadet flying into a cruiser. Hiccup turned the turret once again, this time calling out to Fishlegs "Synch fire!" .
upon hearing this call, Fishlegs turned his turret and both of them attempted to shoot the quick moving beast below as it darted through the Academy grounds. "Ugh! This is impossible. He just keeps running!" Fishlegs yelled in frustration. Upon hearing this, Hiccup's eyes lit up "Then lets make sure he has nothing to run on...shoot at the ground, up the power and create some holes."
Fishlegs nods and does just that. Hiccup would freeze a portion of the ground below and fishlegs would fire at it, blowing a hole into the ground. Hiccup's idea expanded as he fired the ice beam at the ground itself "Don't shoot the ice this time" he told Fish. Both watched as the Night Fury slipped on the ice and then slid into one of the open holes. This was the opening Hiccup needed as he fired the ice beam straight down into the hole, keeping a steady and continous stream of ice. Whenevr it seemed as thoough the ice was cracking, he just continued the assault. Finally after a good 5 minutes, he stops upon seeing that the creature was completely frozen.
Hiccup and Fishlegs let out a sigh of relief, before being notifed that the ship had been hit. The hit was nothing bad but it was an annoyance to Hiccup who quickly froze a Nadder in a block of ice. They looked on to see that their fellow cadets had finished the fight below. They then landed the Night Fury and shut down the engine , then headed outside.
As they looked around at their fellow cadets a cheer rang out from the crowd. The battle was won...for now. Now all they had to do was clean up. And fix the Academy. Meaning class is canceled for a while. Hiccup looked over as he saw his father exiting the building with two unconscious people in his arms. He handed them off to a medic then rushed over to the garage "Hiccup!" he yelled as he approached the boy.
Hiccup nodded "I'm fine dad...and the Night Fury worked perfectly. Also..we may have caught a REAL night fury" he said with a slight awkward chuckle.
