Here's part four. This should be more triumphant for all you Amphibia fans. Anyone has any questions or comments just click the review box below. Anyway, enjoy.
It was probably the most painful headache Toothless has ever witnessed in all his years of living. Maybe even worse than what he had experienced after defeating the Red Death. He groaned in utter agony as he began to pick himself up. Shaking off any rubble that was currently covering his scaley hide. Every muscle in his body began to twitch, and the Night Fury seemed to have pulled many ligaments. He was definitely gonna be sore for a week.
He shook his head and began to stretch his legs before the dragon alpha began to survey his surroundings. Only to see that half the room had been destroyed in the supernova. Everything from the walls to the tank that was at the corner had been annihilated. When he looked to his left, he saw the Core, which had been damaged beyond repair, laying lifelessly against the wall. Its tentacles spread out, not moving an inch. And oil began to leak from all the damaged eyes at the center of it.
Toothless let out a huff in response. It seemed that whatever that machine was will never be able to hurt another soul again. Good riddance. On hindsight, he looked across the room a second time and saw no sign of where that amphibian monster turned out to be. He hoped that he was dead. The torment that he was about to inflict on that poor girl was unacceptable. And who knows what he would've done to him had he not did what he did. It probably would've traumatized him for the rest of his life.
Speaking of which, it occurred to the Night Fury that he did not seem to notice the whereabouts of the human referred to as 'Marcy'. He sniffed the air for a little bit. Trying to see if he could pick up her scent. Which shouldn't be too difficult given to his extraordinary senses. After looking around, he glances at the direction where the Core once was and trailed her scent until he came across a huge pile of rubble.
Assuming that she was buried in it, Toothless rushed over and started digging through all the broken rocks. Occasionally he poked his head through the crevices in a attempt to snuff her out. Until finally, after another moment of digging, he finally found what he was looking for. At first it turned out to be a hand, but after pulling it out of the debris with his jaws, Toothless's hopes were finally with him.
It was Marcy. Thank the gods it was her. Yet to his surprise, the human girl seemed to be unconscious. Unfortunately, the Night Fury also noticed something about her that was troubling to him. He ripped off the inferno helmet that was still attached to her head with his jaws and lowered one of his ear appendages to listen. And from what he could hear, his perception was quite clear to him. She wasn't breathing.
In a panic the dragon alpha nudged at her, tempting to wake her up from her unconsciousness. Yet there was not response. He attempted to startled her into waking up by pressing both his pawing onto her chest. Still no reply. Then on his final attempt, he loud out a roar in hopes that she would finally awake. Yet like all his other attempts, there was still nothing.
The Night Fury's breathes were heavy and long. His ears spread out, and his nerves were made his heart beat at a fast pace. This could not be. That could not be the end for her. Not yet. She had to be alive! She had to! He wasn't going to lose her. Not like how Hiccup lost Stoick all those years ago.
Despite the fact that they just met, Toothless had this feeling that he cared so much for this human. He couldn't give up on her. Yet despite him contemplating the possibility that she she may still be alive, sadly it did not seem that way. And he had no choice but to accept it. He picked her body up and stared. Tears began to run down his eyes as he stood over what seemed to be the girl's lifeless body. He crooned softly, feeling deep sorrow for the loss of a potential new friend.
Then with great humility, Toothless took the body in his arms and wrapped it around in a tight embrace. Emotions washing over him like a stream in a mountainside. He had met so many people in all his years of living. A majority of them wanted him dead. Save for a few, including his trusted friend Hiccup. Yet with him being the only exception, none of them were as trusting to him as her. And that was a lot to take in considering how he literally just met her.
Yet with everything they've just been through, it pained Toothless the most to see that he, of all creatures in the whole world, was unable to save her. A pure, innocent girl with a broken past. However, in spite of the complete sorrow he was feeling at the moment, he also felt very angered by it too. Of all the beings in the world, why her? Why did she have to go? Why did she have to suffer so much? Did the world hate her? Was that it? Was the world ashamed of having this pure little girl and decided to punish her for her petty sins? Cause if so, she did not deserve it in his opinion. She did not deserve any of this.
And with that being said, Toothless lifted his head up and roared at the sky. Cursing the gods. Cursing the machine. And cursing that wretched monster of a king for causing her so much pain. It lasted for a moment or two before he meekly dropped his head down. After that, he laid the body back onto the ground before turning to the exit. Walking out in total defeat. He did not know how he was gonna get out of there, but he figured that it would be too hard. He just wished that he wouldn't do it alone.
But then, when all seemed lost, a small bit of hope came into view as a small coughing noise sounded off. Stopping Toothless dead in his tracks. His ears perked up in alarm an d his eyes widened. Could it be? Was she-.
He quickly spun around and looked at what seemed to be Marcy. Only to here a groan escape from her as she started to move. His heart sank down to his belly when he watched her lift her upper body up. She was alive after all.
"I knew I should've stretched this morning," she spoke.
Then without warning, she was yet again pounced to the ground by the Night Fury, who rushed over to her in utter delight. From there he began to lick her face relentlessly. Fueled with endless energy. In return Marcy giggled. Taking note of his enthusiasm.
"Oh hey you," Marcy said, finally taking notice of the Night Fury's presence.
She let out a little chuckle before feeling the chest being pressed as Toothless nudges her in a friendly manner. She then returned with a hug before staring into his big beautiful eyes. Taking note that this was no vicious beast, but an intelligent, and gentle creature. Whose soul reflected to her own.
"You saved me," she said with impunity. "How can I ever repay you?"
How could she repay him? That was a really good question. Though the truth was that Toothless didn't need any payment in return. He was just doing what he does best. Protecting the innocent from evil no matter what shape or form they came out of. It was his nature. As a feared dragon by all in the Archipelago, and King of the Hidden World. After all, that's what heroes do. Right?
Though instead of answering her question, Toothless nudged her body a bit in a attempt to help her up her feet. It took her a moment to understand what he was getting at.
"Yeah. You're right," she said, holding his shoulder once more. "Let's get out of here."
Then for the third time, human and dragon made their way to the entrance in their final attempt at reaching freedom. But before they could be granted that chance the ground before them burst open. Sending them back a few yards for a second time. And once the dust cleared, the two of them were mortified to see an enraged King Andrias emerge from the ground. He did not seem too happy. But most of all, all the anger that was displayed on his face was directed onto a specific Night Fury.
"You!" he called out hatefully.
Before Toothless could be given a chance to react, Andrias grabbed him by the tail and yanked him from the floor, to which the Night Fury lets out a yelp in surprise. With his target within his grasp, Andrias begins to relentlessly swinging him across the room. Slamming him across the ground without holding back for a single second. He did it for a few more times before pinning the King of Dragons roughly against the wall. Toothless struggled to push him off but came to no avail. From that position, both kings stared at each other with murderous intent.
"You've ruined everything!" Andrias declared. "I was so close to having the multiverse in the palm of my hands. Then you showed up and destroyed everything I worked so hard to build!"
Toothless replied by spitting at his face. Further disrespecting the amphibian ruler. Which prompted him to slam the Night Fury against the wall a second time. Infuriated with his defiance. He was about to do it a second time when a familiar voice stopped him.
"Let him go Andrias!" Marcy demanded from the side.
"I'm afraid I can't do that," the king replied. "This creature's ignorance has cost me my plans for revenge. And what's worse, is that my master, The Core, a thousand years of collected knowledge, is now destroyed. This cannot be forgiven. Not by a long shot."
Yet this was all music to Toothless's ears. To him, Andrias had no right to talk about ignorance. For it was he who was ignorant to the fact that he was about to torture an innocent little girl. Turn her into something she cannot control. Just like him with the bewilderbeest. So if any should suffer, it was him. And with that being said, Toothless bit down on the hand that Andrias was holding him with and look a chunk of one of his fingers off. Which caused Andrias to scream in agony before tossing Toothless to the other side of the room.
Only to be shocked when he witnesses that Night Fury land perfectly on his feet and skid across the floor. He got up to twenty-five feet before coming to a screeching halt. And then let out a challenging roar to the amphibian ruler. Ready for round 2. The latter responded by gritting his teeth as he unsheathes his long sword and charges full speed at the King of Dragons. But unlike his amphibian adversary, Toothless did not anticipate with a charge as well. But alternatively started backing up towards the remains of the Core.
Andrias became unaware of this. His arrogance and insatiable hatred for the dragon blinded him as he lets out a final yell before jumping mid air to strike the Night Fury with his sword. But was unfortunately mistakened when the Night Fury jumps out of his way and watches him crash into the Core's remains. Eventually piercing his sword into one of the Core's eyes.
Satisfied with the outcome, Toothless quickly pounces on his back and clamps his jaws down onto the back of the newt king's neck. For he did not want to give him the chance to recover. The alpha then maliciously yanks Andrias to the nearest wall. Before he could react, Andrias ends up letting out a cry in pain as the King of Dragons bites down onto his neck in a attempt to crush his throat. But as the newt ruler struggled to loosen the Night Fury's grip on his neck, he noticed a blue-ish purple glow form from the edge of his mouth. In another scenario he would not be aware of what this meant, yet his past altercation with the dragon has given him many hints about its capabilities. And he definitely knew what this meant.
Out of basic instinct, the amphibian dictator elbows the top of Toothless's head with his left arm. Nearly missing a plasma blast to the face while at the same time forcing the black dread to let go. He then follows this up by wrapping his fingers around both sides of the Night Fury's jaws. Trying to pry his mouth open and possibly break his jawbones. Toothless in response lets out a another cry as he squirms his way out of Andrias's hold on him. Prompting him to fire two more plasma blasts in multiple directions in the process. To prevent further lashing out, the frog ruler closes his mouth shut with his hands before swinging the dragon over and tossing him towards the other side of the room.
Not willing to give him any leverage, King Andrias charges forth and socks the Night Fury in the face before he could fire another plasma blast. Then he followed that up placing his hands on top of the beast's head in order to force him down to the ground. Yet before that could be done the dragon pushes his head up and fires another plasma blast. Stunning Andrias in the face. Of course he would then use this time to strike, but Andrias once flaws that plan by clubbing him back down to the ground with his huge face. Then the amphibian tyrant uses that moment to deliver a kick to the Night Fury's underbelly. Sending him flying across the room as he lets out a moaning roar before crashing into a pile of debris.
By the time he recovered the Alpha looked up and saw Andrias smirking at him. He then began to taunt the Night Fury by beating his chest and letting out a roar. Mocking him in the process. Toothless in response punched the ground with his paw in frustration to his efforts. He was giving him lick for the first half of this battle. And that was not a good thing despite his previous efforts. Yet too much was at stake for him to lose to this monster. He had to turn the tables fast.
So without giving him time to pick up his sword, Toothless charged forth. Letting out an angry yelp as he pounced on top of the king's head. Arching his back as he began to tower over his huge form in his attempt to end this fight right here with yet another plasma blast to the face. But before that could be done, King Andrias takes one of the tentacles from the remains of the Core and shoved it right into the Night Fury's mouth. Causing Toothless to cease fire and let out a squirming whine as he tries to get it off with his claws.
After two more swings the Night Fury drops down on all fours before yanking the tentacle out of his mouth and rams Andrias back a few yards. Now he was really p*sed. From that point Toothless lets out a roar in anger before his back started to glow blue. And then, he flared his wings out before firing what he expected to be as another plasma blast.
But the result was much more. Instead of a plasma blast, a huge bright blue beam shot out of his mouth. King Andria's eyes widened in horror as the beam crashes into the middle of his chest. Which brought him shear pain and agony. And from the looks of it, it was almost as if it was burning through his armor. It was a surprise for everyone. Even Marcy stared in utter shock as the color of the beam dazzled in the pupils of her eyes. As for Toothless, this was all coming to him as quick as possible. He did not have the time to process it.
When he ceased his newly discovered power, Andrias was almost taken to the ground. The power of the attack sent him back a couple of felt like he just touched a very hot stove with his chest. But he fortunately was able to pick himself back up and charged forth again. Only to be taken backwards by the force of a second beam that Toothless fired. Hitting him directly in the face. It was so hot that he felt a huge burning circle form on the side of his face. By then he was sent tumbling on his backside. Almost half conscious. Marcy stood in utter shock as she watched this all happen.
For the Night Fury, he could not believe what he just did. For he created another power within himself. Just like the supernova that he just created in his previous state of fury. But this was not natural for him. He did not understand how or why he even came to unlocking this new ability, but he did not look to ponder himself with questions since he had other manners to deal with. He noticed that Andrias was slowly picking himself back.
And in response, Toothless charged yet again. Leaping into the air with his teeth bared and claws ready to slice and dice. Yet the old ruler saw this coming and deflected his attack. Shielding himself with his right arm when the Night Fury pounced and and hurl him over to the side. Yet the King of Dragons remained persistent and attacked again. Jumping midair again and lunging at the toad ruler only to be grabbed by his waist and thrown to the other side of the room. For which Toothless dug his claws into the ground to stop the skidding. Unleashing another roar in furious anger in the process.
Seeing that he had seconds to think of a counter attack, King Andrias scrambled to grab his sword and attempted a swing. But before he could do that Toothless rushed at him. Then as sudden as a thunderbolt, the Night Fury set upon the amphibian tyrant. Throwing all of his weight at the old king and forced him onto his back and pinned him against the ground. He then turned to the hand of which Andrias held his sword and started bashing it against the ground with his paws. Andrias let out a yell in pain as he felt his hand being crushed by a boulder. After a few more hits, Toothless was able to pry the the newt prophet's hand open and forced him to let go of his sword. Disarming him in the process before turning back to King Andrias to finish him off.
Enraged, the decrepit old ruler took his left fist and sucker punched the Night Fury from the side of his face. Temporarily throwing him off balance. Though the Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself was able to regain himself and dodged yet another attack from King Andrias. The two kings glanced at each other before Toothless lunged for the fourth time in a row. Screeching as he leapt up into King Andrias's chest. But like before, the newt dictator saw this coming and caught the Night Fury midair. In the process he brought Toothless back down into the ground and held his muzzle to prevent him from firing any beams or plasma blasts. From there the two of them remained in what seemed to be a deadlock. With Toothless scratching down on King Andrias's waist to the point where he nearly penetrated his armor.
After noticing this Andrias realized that he could be vulnerable to the dragon if he kept this up, and decided to change tactics. After another slash he kicks the Alpha dragon off of him. Only to be met again by the Night Fury when he pounced again. Tossing him for the seventh time across the room upon contact. He watched the Night Fury hit the side of the Core. Only for he dragon to respond hiss at the newt when he saw him stagger into a stance. Daring him to attack again.
"Come on," Andrias taunted. "Come to papa!"
From which the Night Fury replied with another lung towards the tyrant. Tackling the newt ruler and pushing him backwards and attempted to throw him off his this strategy became futile as Andrias grabs the Night Fury by the waist again and tosses him back to the wall behind him. Toothless is then given only a small amount of time to react as Andrias charges at him like a bull and red. Leaping back yet again and watching the large newt crash into the wall. This caused rocks from the ceiling to fall yet again, some of them crashing onto the top of Andrias's head.
He groaned afterwards, grabbing his head and crown with his right hand. However, before he could do anything, Andrias is met with a smack to the face by Toothless with one of the Core's tentacles he shoved into his mouth. Now he found himself being wrapped around it as Toothless tries to immobilize him like how a snake immobilizes its prey. To a certain degree it worked, until Andrias grabs the end of the tentacle with his hand and yanks it out of the Night Fury's mouth, before delivering a backhand to the face while uncoiling himself.
Once he was unwrapped, he turned to the Night Fury, who charged at him yet again. Though unlike before, Andrias anticipates the charge and returns with his own. As the brawl escalated, the two kings collided heads. With Andrias headbutting Toothless square in the face. The impact temporarily disorients the Night Fury, who heard Andrias let out a beastial roar afterwards. Yet Toothless is able to shake it off and retaliate. His back glowing blue as he prepared to launch another beam. But was regrettably met by Andrias's huge fist. Preventing him from firing.
"That's not gonna work this time!" Andrias gloated.
After that, he socks the Night Fury in the chest. Causing him to roll back until he crashes into the wall just behind him. Toothless attempted to get back into the fight, but was tackled by Andrias and pushed him back against the wall. Then watched him slump to the ground due to the sudden impact.
Andrias intended to grab him by the neck and hold him face to face, yet as he laid a finger on him, Toothless grabbed the hand and yanked him towards the wall. From that point on he presses the attack as he seized the back of the amphibian's head with his paws and begins to bash his head against the wall relentlessly. After several more times, Toothless leans back and hits Andrias's head against the wall so hard it sent them both rolling a few yards.
The toad sovereign takes advantage of this and throws the Night Fury across the room. Only for Toothless to rebound and rejoin the scuffle. The battle began to come at its peak as the two kings started throwing strikes at one another. With Toothless smacking Andrias with the back of his left wing, and Andrias retaliates with a punch to the face. He then follows that up with yet another punch before grabbing the Night Fury by the shoulder with his left hand. He then swings him around and sends the Alpha dragon rolling. Only for Toothless to stagger back to his feet. He then leaps into the air and d spins vertically in the air before hitting Andrias on the top of her head as he leapt forth after him.
He takes that as an opportunity to continue his own assault, as he takes his right paw and swings it right across the amphibian prophet's face. Causing him to stumble a bit. Toothless then lunges forth in a attempt to aim for his neck once again, but was apparently denied that when Andrias charges forth. Wrapping his arms around the dragon and using his own bodyweight to take him down. Yet he did not stop there.
On the ground, he drags the Night Fury across the room for several yards before swinging him up into the air. Upon his descant, Toothless was not given any time when he felt his underbelly being punctured by the newt king's mighty fist. Which made him yelp in pain from the feeling that he had been struck by Thor's very own hammer.
It seemed like a fatal blow for the Night Fury, yet he return fired when he mustered whatever strength he had left to unleash another beam. Incinerating a good portion of Andrias's face in the process. Yet instead of hurting him, it merely enraged him as he grabbed the Night Fury by his neck and threw him across the room. He attempted to get back up and continue to fight, but was devastated to look up and see the rocks above him batter down upon the latter. Burying him in the process.
When the dust cleared Marcy saw Toothless half buried in the pile of rocks and apparently half dazed. The dragon alpha rose up from the rocks and tempted himself to climb back on his feet, but not before he was pinned back down to the ground by Andrias, who once again planted his foot on the top of the dragons neck. Marcy watched as the dragon roared in pain while Andrias unsheathed his great sword. With the intent of putting this beast out of his misery.
"Your head will make a fine addition to my throne room," he stated with a sadistic smile.
"Andrias, no!" she yelled, pleading with him to stop.
Yet her pleas to the king were on deaf ears.
"I'm sorry Marcy," he said to her. "But like it or not, this has to be done! This creature has to pay for his blasphemy!"
Toothless weakly tried to push Andrias off, but it only prompted him to stomp his neck harder. Earning another painful squeal from the Night Fury. Before he dropped his head back to the floor in utter defeat. By then blood started to ooze out of his mouth as the amphibian tyrant raised his sword high, preparing to make the final blow.
In that very moment, Marcy knew that she had to do something. Standing around hopelessly was not going to save this creature's life. Especially when he just saved her own. To not do the same for it was a fool's errand on her behave. So she had to take action before this creature would suffer the fate that would be soon to come. She had to aid him. In a hastily manner, she rushed over to the two kings. Picking up a nearby sword and leaping into action.
"Let him...GO!" she yelled before stabbing Andrias in the foot.
The newt king squealed in pain as he directed his attention to the human girl. Who began to swing her sword violently at him. The distraction allows Toothless to yank his head out of the amphibian monstrosity's foot. He shook the dirt off before looking to observe the situation. And was surprised to see the girl putting up somewhat of a resistance against the tyrant ruler.
Andrias starts off by reaching his hands out to in various attempts to grab her. In response, she ducked and dodged his attacks before leaping up and swinging her sword down. Missing nearly inches from his hands before leaping backwards to avoid another grab. She then follows that up with a thrust to his leg. Once again missing by a few inches as he lifts his foot up above the ground.
Afterwards she somersaults to the right to avoid his apparent stomp. Swinging her sword and finally cutting a piece of his armor before back flipping in order to avoid a deadly swing from his slid a few feet, then watched as Toothless charge forth, eager to join the fight. Andrias thrust his own sword in a attempt to stab the Night Fury in the heart, yet the King of Dragons anticipates this and dodges to his left. Retaliating with a bite to the beard. The amphibian ruler howls in pain from the bite before shoving the Night Fury off him. There Marcy watched him hit the floor, only to climb back up and leapt out of the way of Andrias's approaching foot.
After that Toothless rebounded to get a better advantage and watched as Marcy made her move. From which she leapt into the air and prepared to strike at Andrias. Only for him to clasp his hands together and trap the girl within his hands in the process. Upon contact, Toothless stopped and observed the scene. Seeing if there was any reaction yet to come. Andrias, satisfied with his catch brought his hands to his face to see from inside. But to his surprise, he felt a sting in his hands. And once he opened them up, he found that one of his hands were stabbed with Marcy dangling from the tilt of the sword.
He squealed as he attempted to shake her off. Failing miserably as she held on with dear life. It was until he clenched his hand shut when he was able to finally get her to let go. From that point he watched her drop right back to the Night Fury's side before charging back. Letting out an invigorating battle cry in the process. For a moment, Toothless watched her, slightly puzzled. Before he let out his own battle roar and joined her.
Together, they both dodged Andrias's individual thrusts. With Marcy sliding from underneath and Toothless jumping overhead. P*#sed off, Andrias followed his assault up with a single swing of his sword. For which both girl and dragon ducked simultaneously. After that he lifted his foot up and stomped back on the ground. Causing a tremor in the process. The impact of the tremor threw Marcy off balance and she was sent tumbling backwards. Though to her surprise, the tumbling came to a stop when the petite girl suddenly landed on Toothless's back.
The unforeseen move by the girl threw the Night Fury off guard, and he yelped in complete shock.
"Woah, woah easy!" she said as she clung onto a small section of his neck with one hand. Attempting to calm him down. "Easy boy! Easy!"
Yet Toothless did not let up as he jumped up and down like a bull in a rodeo. Though this wasn't a personal matter for him. It has been years since he let a human ride him. And he never really let anyone ride him without his permission. So it kinda made sense as to why he would react this way. In his further attempts he even went as far as rearing up and letting out a roar before she could adjust her seating.
Though what stopped him on his current course was Andrias's bellowing roar in anger. Which caused him to drop back down on all fours and glare at the amphibian ruler hatefully. He glanced at the human girl now currently sitting on his back. The expression on her face was just as identical as his at the moment. She then looked down at him and they both locked eyes. So they were totally doing this.
It was not merely a few hours ago when he found that girl in the tank and now that same girl was on his back. He did not know how or why this came to be. But all he knew was that he trusted her, and in some similar way, so did she. Yet before anything could be done, King Andrias finally spoke.
"Marcy!" he called to the girl. "What do you think you're doing?"
The girl in response turned her gaze back to the newt king and then responded.
"Getting the heck out of here!" she answered. "That's what I'm doing."
The king was taken aback by her answer, yet was still pretty confident.
"Marcy, think about this," he insisted. "I took you in. Gave you everything you ever wanted. Even made you my personal advisor. You at least owe me that."
Marcy laughed in response.
"I owe you? I owe you?!" she questioned. "You betrayed me! Turned me against my own friends! Heck, you even killed me!"
"But I brought you back," he retaliated.
"Only to make me into your puppet!"
"I was only doing as my master commanded."
"But I trusted you!"
The king started to get real nervous. His attempts at talking her out of it were failing. It surprised Toothless that Andrias would have the gull to try to reason with them. When they were clearly way past that. Especially everything he has witnessed him do so far. And who knows, he may have done much more evil things than what he had seen. So to talking them out of doing this is no longer an option. Yet he insisted on doing so. Which probably meant that he was getting really desperate. Something the Night Fury can respect for once.
"Please," he begged. "Don't make another mistake you'll end up regretting.
She paused for a moment. Recalling on some mistakes that she made that brought her where she is now. The many friendships that she had with Sasha and Anne were now splintered because of mistakes that she made. Yet at the same time, she felt to herself that this was no mistake. The dragon she was now on top of has shown her that he actually cares about her well being. Something she does not get very often.
"No Andrias," she answered. "I've made many mistakes in my life. Many that I will regret forever. But this one will not be one of them."
Andrias stood there in utter shock. She really was going this far to defy him. Though he didn't blame her after everything he put her through. Yet this was still a surprise.
"You don't wanna do this."
She then returned his gaze to the dragon. Wondering what he was thinking in his mind. In response the Night Fury looked back and gave her a nod. Apparently they were in a agreement on something. She then turned her gaze back to the amphibian leader, who was awaiting for her to answer him.
"Yeah we do," her final answer was.
And with that final statement, Toothless flares his wings out and unleashes a mighty roar before charging forth. With both human and dragon dedicated to finish this fight as one. For which shocked Andrias that she has made this apparent decision to fight beside this creature. Ultimately puzzled with the fact that two different creatures would have the strength to unite against him. Though it would not matter in the end, because in his mind, they will eventually fall just like Anne the others.
He swung his long sword around and prepare himself to finish the two off. Yet his thoughts and confidence betrayed him when Toothless smacked his gripping hand away before he could even be given a chance to strike. Marcy in return follows that up by quickly loading her crossbow with a nearby arrow and firing right at Andrias's left eye. Causing him to howl in pain as he grabs the side of his face. Upon firing, Marcy spots a chandelier right above the tyrant and motions Toothless towards it.
The Night Fury responses with a grin before moving behind Andrias as he reaches his arm out in a attempt to grab them both. Then with sheer determination, both human and beast climb up the king's back. Where Marcy leaps off Toothless's back and grabs the chandelier with both hands. After that she shakes the chandelier down with her arms until it came crashing down on top of Andria's head. Forming a convenient collar around his neck.
Andrias barely takes notice before bellowing in frustration. The distraction allows the both of them to leap back down to the floor before making a break for the exit.
POV: Insert Escape the Dragon by Harry Gregson-William.
From the corner of his one remaining eye, Andrias was barely able to notice them making their escape and lunged to the door in a attempt to stop them. Unfortunately he was not fast enough to halt their advance and dimly watch them run through the door. Only catching a brief glimpse of Toothless grabbing Marcy from the back of her neck and throwing her onto his back. Relying on memory, the Night Fury rushed through the endless flight of steps. Passing all the paintings and weird creatures that lurked in the darkness.
They did not know when or how they were doing it, nor did they know exactly where they were going, but if there was one thing the both of them knew, was that they were getting out of here. It was a few more flights up when they finally came across the door from whence Toothless first came in. Yet there was one little problem about it.
"It's locked!" Marcy cried out.
Yet before they could even think of another way out, Toothless leapt up to another flight of steps in a attempt to avoid Andrias's big hand. Who surprisingly caught up to them despite the many stairs. And continued to climb up the endless steps. Though despite the adrenaline rush, the Night Fury was not prepared when he they finally came across a closed hatch just above them. And unfortunately hit his head on top of it in the process. As he grabbed his head and winced in pain, Marcy checked to see if the hatch was locked. And thankfully, it wasn't.
Upon opening it they both found themselves in the library. Which was empty at first. Until Marcy turned the corner and saw one of the amphibians, who apparently was reading a book, barely taking notice of her. Who was in a state of shock upon meeting their gaze. To Toothless, he remembered seeing this amphibian when he found that book earlier. Though he could not tell if she was a friend or foe.
"Marcy?" she questioned.
"No time to explain Lady Olivia," Marcy said with urgency. "We're in a hurry."
And with they they persistently leapt out of the hatch and made a break for the library exit. Upon exiting, Andrias burst out of the hatch and called out to the guards.
"Guards!" he shouted. "Lock down the entire castle! Do not let them escape!"
And like wildfire, the entire structure started swarming with killer robots. Some of which Toothless did not seem to understand, yet did not have the time to evaluate them as a whole as he proceeded to evade them with maximum intent. The chase eventually led them into the ballroom. Which was pretty large and had a lot of pillars. To confuse the robots, Marcy had Toothless run all across the room. Moving between pillars as fast as lightning.
Yet the plan backfires as Andrias enters the structure. Pointing at them and barking orders at the robots.
"Fire!"
From that point the robots fired tiny red laser beams. From which Toothless did not want to know what happens if one were to touch him. So to a large extent, he dodged with extreme agility. Eventually leading up to them heading in the direction of yet another great hall in the process. They continued to go on until Marcy stopped Toothless dead in his tracks.
"Hold on a second!" she stated.
She then leaps off of Toothless back and rushes to one of the doors in the hall. Upon opening the door she turns back the Night Fury.
"Cover me!" she commanded before going inside.
In return Toothless gave her a nod before turning back to watch. Seconds later she came out, with two chemically enhanced potions in her hands. This puts yet another grin on Toothless's faceas he guessed what those potions were used for. Yet his trance was interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps coming from the direction they came from. When they looked they saw King Andrias approaching them with a squad of robots before him. Afterwards Toothless looked back at Marcy, giving her a nod before turning back to the approaching guards.
As the robots began to draw their weapons, Marcy at that moment took the opportunity to roll the potions down the isle and right into the direction of said robots. Then, straight out of an action movie, the two of them turn towards the castle exit and made a break for it in super slow motion. Seconds later, the robots began to fire at the potions. A huge mistake on their part, for it caused the potions to explode upon contact.
Seconds later the bombs went off. The explosion had a tremendous effect on the robots and temporarily startled the wounded King Andrias. Toothless looked back and used that to speed up just a tiny bit in anticipation of the coming explosion. By the time they reached the entrance they burst through the doors and made their way down the stairs. The roaring flames rushing from behind them. Leaving a trail of fire in their wake. They were close to being home free, only to come to a complete stop to avoid falling to their apparent deaths. It then occurred to the Night Fury that the castle was floating mid air from a thousand feet above ground. Which meant that this was the end of the road for them. Which also sent the girl in a panic.
"What do we do now?!" Marcy questioned nervously.
The Night Fury didn't know at the moment, but apparently they could not wait any longer. He looked back and noticed King Andrias rampaging across the door. Going as far as running on all four legs as he eventually made it past the door and outside . Then when all seemed lost, Toothless came up with an idea. It was risky, but if it works than that means freedom for the both of them. He waited until Andrias foolishly leapt straight for them in a final attempt catch them.
Then without thinking he pushed Marcy off the edge of the castle and followed suit. By that point, the chain around Andrias's neck would've finally reached it's limit with all his time running around the castle, and with that, the chain yanks him back towards the castle. Preventing him from making his catch in the process. Meanwhile, Marcy screamed as she and Toothless were stuck in free fall. Descending towards the ground at a rapid speed. Yet that did not matter to the King of Dragons. Nearly half a heartbeat later, the Night Fury swirled around before she grabbed onto his back. Then at the last minute, Toothless opened up his wings and parachuted them mid air before they could reach the bottom.
By the time it was all over the two of them hovered over the city bellow. Toothless flapping his wings to help them stay afloat. With the danger finally over, the two of them took a moment to catch their felt petrified after what she has experienced. But on the bright side, she was finally free.
"We are not doing that again!" she stated with a laugh.
Toothless chuckled in agreement. Though in spite of their relief, a loud roar could be heard from a distance. And it specifically came from the castle. When they looked they spotted a wounded King Andrias still at the entrance, his hands around the collar in his attempt to take it off. His face was half burned and his eye was still scared. And bled from many small wounds. They really gave him everything they had. Not that he didn't deserve any of it. He took notice of them and then started shouting hateful things. Cursing them and promising them vengeance with extreme prejudice. Even going as far as swearing to them that he would hunt them down to the edge of Amphibia if he had to. Though they didn't care. They were free.
The Night Fury felt no sympathy nor remorse for that abomination. Though when he looked behind he shoulder he did see Marcy feel a little bad. But ultimately she did not regret any of this. Not after all he did. Especially after what he specifically did to her. For which she will never forgive him for. And will hold him to it for the rest of his days. Though on hindsight, they did destroy the Core, and his means to achieve world conquest. Which kinda makes them even in a sense of symbolic revenge. Though there was no doubt that the mad ruler brought this on himself. And will probably never forget this. After taking another moment to look, Marcy decided she has had enough to see and then tapped the Night Fury's shoulder.
"Let's go," she finally spoke. "I've had enough of this place already."
With that being said, Toothless gave one last look at the castle before turning the other direction and heading out into the sea. With the last thing they heard being a mighty roar from Andrias as they embark on their well-earned path to salvation.
And that's the end of that. Hope y'all enjoyed it so far. Stay tuned for the rest.
