I want to apologize for such a long wait but here it is. Chapter 18 I'm glad everyone was willing to wait and hold out on this story I hadn't forgotten it I just tend to have bouts of severe anxiety and sometimes when I look at my stories that do well I think am I pleasing everyone or is my story the best that it can be. Since I decided I'm going to become an author I'll be pretty busy sending out my manuscripts and writing my first story but I'm still going to write these since this is my side hobby.
Chapter 18
Stealth mission
Hiccup stood inside the cave wearing the uniform he commandeered from one of the hunters. He slowly walked around. The hideout was huge. If not for the general labels on walls he would have gotten lost. Tilting the helmet down he walked past two guards who seem to be guarding a room.
"Hey!" Stated one of the burly men. "I haven't seen you before? Are you new?" He asked walking around him looking him up and down. "You seem kinda scrawny to be a dragon hunter?"
Hiccup shuddered slightly and in his best impression of his fathers voice he spoke. "Ya I'm new what of it should I show you how scrawny I really am." He gruffed back.
The pair looked at each other then laughed. "Ay ya got grit boy what's your name?"
"I'm...um... my name is Crookedtooth... Ya that's what it is." He gruffed trying to hide his shaking voice.
"Well Crookedtooth if you ever want to know something you can just ask." Smiled the man.
Hiccup nodded, " Ya Thanks... Actually can you tell me where to find the dragons? I seem to be a bit lost." He chimed gruffly.
The pair looked at each other then looked back at him. "You just go straight down this corridor, then turn left after that walk to the end of the next corridor take another left and it's right there."
"Thanks." Smiled hiccup not realizing his voice altered back since he relaxed a bit. He then quickly left the pair happy that he pulled it off and left to find the dragons to set them free.
"Hey was there something weird about that guy? I'm gonna go speak to the leader find out if we were expecting new recruits." Stated the guy Hiccup was talking too.
"Alright I'll cover the door while your gone." He chimed standing there.
Mean while above where the death song was sleeping Sam and Astrid were sitting just below the eye sight of the chained dragon. Astrid holding her ax she whispered to Sam. "Hey my ax can't cut through those chains so we'll need the key."
Sam smiled, "No we don't I have an Idea you take out the guards then I'll get the chains." As Astrid went to go take out the guards Sam prepared to take on the chains going back down the mountain side finding a large sturdy piece of metal she forced it to bend making it look like a crow bar. She was going to use it to break the lock around it's neck.
She then went back up to find that Astrid had taken care of her part of the job swiftly. Now it was her turn but she was a little scared. The Death song though muzzled growled and thrashed when they got close. Astrid looked at the metal item and spoke. "I didn't find the keys on the guards...um what are you holding?"
"Our key." Grinned Sam and lowered her gaze doing what hiccup showed her when helping a dragon. When she was within its reach she stopped and waited for it to lower itself.
It suspiciously eyed the pair but taking a chance lowered its head. Sam then raised her hand petting her gently before taking the crow bar and ramming it into the lock. Then with all her might she slammed her weight against the lock it hurt the death song slightly but it also released the neck shackle.
Once free the dragon took off in a blind fury. But as they were celebrating they didn't realize the dragon started attacking the base. It screamed and ripped into the cave entrance. Tearing through the corridors causing the entire mountain to shake as the angry dragon tore through the guards.
Danny had been flying for awhile when they reached the Ice island of the snow wraith. Once there the speed stingers told him they knew there way home if he could take them. He nodded and just told them to direct him. Little did he know he was steadily getting closer to he friends and the fight that was getting under way at the hideout.
I know it's kinda short but I'll try to post more.
