dj laid on his back panting slightly while staring up at the ceiling he and atali had finished their session a while a go but he needed more time to calm down. 'man this girl is a freak' he thought.
he turned to the side and seen his girlfriend already sleeping beautifully while she too breathed heavily he smiled.
but his smiled left his face as he concentrated on listening. he turned over to the other side and quickly grabbed a dagger on his nightstand.
but before he could throw it a sword tip was placed under his chin millimeters from his throat. he breathed as he dropped the dagger back on the stand.
"i could've killed you" he said "no you couldn't" hiccup said silently sheathing his sword "what are you doing" here dj asked
"i need you for something" hiccup said. dj looked back at atali then back to hiccup "okay look i know your feelings with astrid are confusing you but i don't think atali will agree with a three-".
"not that" hiccup almost yelled nearly waking atali "with something else" hiccup said walking to the bedroom door "what" dj asked getting out of the bed not waking his lover.
hiccup stopped at the door "we're.. hey no" he said stopping dj from grabbing his normal suit from his wardrobe. "what?" he asked "that one" hiccup said pointing over to dj's battle suit.
dj just looked at it then back at hiccup "we're paying a visit to an old friend, just us."
johann was in the middle of the sea for the night getting ready for bed. he whistled as he walked around his ship organizing items and taking inventory. but suddenly everything went silent.
the waves and the gulls seems to have disappeared instantly. he stopped whistling and looked around him he didn't see anything.
a sudden crash from behind him caused him to jump and pull his two throwing daggers from his sleeves. he crept forward until seeing a small blue terror in the dim moonlight. he was sitting on the top of a mirror while he just rested.
he laughed "hey little guy" he said putting his daggers back into his sleeves before the dragon seen them "what are you doing this far away from land.?"
the dragon didn't move but just scratched behind his ear "you know, i use to have a dragon just like you" he said inching closer until he was within a few feet from the mirror.
suddenly the dragon hissed, snapped at johann and flew off causing the mirror to shift "okay see you later" johann called 'i don't blame you little terror' he thought as he adjusted the mirror on the stand.
he looked into the reflection and seen the objects behind him including the two sheathed twin swords floating in the air.
"wha- oh no johann" said quickly grabbing a dagger he turned and went to throw but his arm and neck were grabbed with enough force and strength for him to be lifted up off the ground and for the dagger to fall out of his hand.
he stared into the mask of his attacker as the attacker let go of his wrist while keeping pressure on johann's neck and brought a hand up to his mask and unclipped it.
johann fought against the arm holding his throat but it did nothing the mask fell to the ground as the attacker looked up and revealed to johann an all too familiar face. that was also the face of very pissed off vampire. a/n the faces from the vampires in buffy and angel.
"ah master dj we really must not meet like this plea-" he was cut off as more pressure was put on his neck "but i like meeting like this and ending our visits like this as well" dj said opening his mouth, revealing his fangs.
"dj" a voice called from the darkness as hiccup in full armor emerged from behind a clothing rack.
"we need answers before we decide if his head and body should be separated" hiccup said keeping his mask on. just like most of the people. they only knew dj and eret as their normal names.
"ah master ryder i-" johann said in a strained voice "thought we had an agreement johann" hiccup said walking around the ship looking at the items casually "you stay away, i stay away everyone stays happy."
"and alive" dj added "please ryder you must understand it was-" "you betrayed us johann you sold us out to drago bludvist even after all we did for you."
"yes i did and-" "and you lost your best friend because of it" hiccup interrupted again "I'm sorry" he said tears welling up in his eyes.
"they told me you were killers of women and children with no mercy who did foul things to them."
"and you believed him?" hiccup said anger rising "i did, at first. but then i heard his men talking and then i knew the truth."
"but you still took the money he offered" dj said "and i threw it into the ocean" johann said shocking them both "why do you still think I'm trading" he asked
hiccup looked at dj "he telling the truth?" dj leaned in and smelled johann's neck "don't smell lying, a lot of fear though. and his pulse hasn't raised other then the fear when i first grabbed him."
hiccup sighed, turned around so his back was to them and lifted his mask. he thought for a moment until putting it back down.
"why'd you come back here i could've blasted the ship to valhalla" he said turning around "for forgiveness" johann said as dj scoffed "to make amends and possibly get spitfire back" he said.
"it wasn't my command to make him leave nor was it toothless. it was his own choice because you were working for a man who in-slaved and killed alot of his dragon brothers."
"i didn't know" johann said fully crying now. dj looked at hiccup who nodded so dj dropped him and walked back to hiccup after picking up his mask while johann just kept muttering apologies.
"so what do we do. i mean... i can drain him in five seconds flat" dj said making johann move back a little. but hiccup just looked at johann yes he did bring dj because he can kill without remorse.
but now he was looking at a broken man, separated from his best friend and he's scared "you really only smelt truth on him" hiccup asked
"yeah no lying but a lot of fear and some urine" hiccup laughed and nodded. he walked back to johann "you stay away from my island, my people and my allies and if i find out that you were within a mile of any of them..." hiccup said leaning in.
"I'm not even coming along for the trip. I'm just sending dj and shock along with their dragons" hiccup said walking towards the shadows of the boat as toothless now emerged growling at johann.
a white slender tail came down and dj grabbed one of the spikes on it. it recoiled up and he disappeared into the black sky. hiccup got on toothless but looked back at johann still crying on the ground.
he sighed and brought his fingers to his mouth and whistled. a red blur shot out and latched onto johann's face "spitfire?" he asked pulling the terror off.
"spitfire" he yelled hugging the dragon as the dragon hugged him back. he had heard everything from the shadows. "don't work with people like that again" hiccup said taking off.
dragon rider island
astrid yawned as her, ruffnut and heather walked into the great hall she had the exact same nightmare again last night she didn't know what it meant but she swore she'd figured it out.
they sat next to the other berkians "wow you look like hell" tuffnut said snickering until astrid punched him and he fell back off his seat "oh i am hurt. i am very much hurt" he said as everyone around him laughed.
"hey brother" heather said seeing dagur and eret walking towards them "hey you guys how'd the early morning lesson with hiccup go?" he asked.
everyone's face turned into confusion "what do you mean" heather asked "well hiccup wasn't at home so we assumed that he was with you guys for a lesson."
"we've been sleeping until half an hour ago" snotlout said as the two night riders exchanged glances.
atali came walking up "hey dagur, is dj and hiccup back from patrol yet" she asked concerned. "what" he asked "he wasn't in bed when i woke up and i found a note on his pillow saying he and hiccup had to patrol during the night."
dagur and eret again shared a look before turning to two other guys seated across the hall "hey jack, tom" eret yelled the two guys in question stood up with a slight bow of their heads. "you guys trade shifts with dj or hiccup?" "no we patrolled as usual neither one said anything about a trading" tom said moving his brown hair out of his eyes
"okay thanks" dagur said turning back to the others. "ah, they probably just went to a tavern for a few drinks, the alcoholics" eret laughed "well if we're acting chiefs we better get to doing the jobs" eret said walking outside with dagur following.
"you really think that they'd go to a tavern without us?" dagur asked once out of ear shot. "nope, get sleuther or banshee ready for take off we leave in five" eret said turning off to find ryker or viggo to cover for them.
however toothless and titan landed in front of them "hey boys, sorry we just went out to explore an island we found a few days ago" hiccup said jumping off toothless.
they were both in their normal clothing but dagur and eret could see their battle suits hidden in their saddle bags.
"oh really" dagur said unconvinced "you sure you weren't on patrol or doing a lesson with the vikings" eret asked. "oh crap" dj said leaning against his dragon.
"damn right oh crap now where the hell where you guys!" dagur said the old dagur coming out a bit. hiccup sighed "johann was the one who told the vikings about us for the alvin deal."
"what" dagur said "he was this far south" "yep so me and dj went to have a 'talk' with him about it" "without us?" eret said sharply "i needed dj because of his lack of mercy" "well you could've told us, we were about to get skullchrusher to track you guys" eret said.
"sorry boys, it was a heat of the moment thing" hiccup said before dj jumped up "oh wait does atali know i lied?" he said quickly "she knows you lied about patrol. but she just thinks you guys went out to a tavern" eret said "as do the vikings."
"but" eret started "but I'm gonna have to tell her the truth aren't i" dj then said knowing hiccup had to tell the allies about johann "probably best you do it instead of me" hiccup said before dj nodded
"alright good and I'm sorry for not involving you guys in on this i just wanted answers, bad" hiccup said. eret and dagur sighed "well it's alright just don't cut us out next time we're a team if he needs to die, we all do it" eret said grinning.
hiccup laughed "done" he said "so you get the answers you were looking for" dagur asked "yes, but another time and place" hiccup said "i got to get to chiefing can one of you handle the vikings for a few hours." he asked
"yeah i will i don't have any teens today" dagur said "alright good" he said getting back on toothless "i think i can handle your jobs today dj, you get some sleep" he said about to take off.
"whoa, hey wait you came and got me. you are probably running on less sleep then me and you look like your getting sick" "i can handle it" he said before taking off dj sighed before turning to eret.
"watch him" he whispered "yep" eret said already knowing what probably would happen.
hiccup's pov
"thanks chief" the farmer yelled locking the boar pen. i yawned as i waved to the villagers "no problem" i said climbing on toothless and taking off. it was a little past noon and i still had a lot of stuff to do.
"are you alright hiccup" toothless asked "yeah I'm.." i paused to yawn "fine" i finished "you don't look fine and i can smell sickness on you as well. dj probably has had enough sleep by now and i know he'll take some jobs off the list."
"no, no i can handle..." i trailed off as my eyes started getting heavy "oh no" i mumbled before everything went black the last thing i heard was toothless roar.
astrid's pov
"great astrid" dagur yelled as i flew higher then the others i had to admit that this was the most amazing feeling I've ever felt. i still can believe i fought these creatures for so long.
i heard a roar and my head snapped up to the sky and i paled. i seen hiccup falling fast. "oh no" i said as dagur started yelling for banshee.
however from this height i could see she was all the way over at his hut on the furthest side of the island. she won't make it i thought.
i looked back at hiccup. toothless had fell past hiccup far enough away he couldn't grab him and glided to the ground. he must have a different tail fin then the one that let's him fly on his own.
thinking quickly i pointed at hiccup and yelled stormfly, "rescue" she squawked and started flying towards hiccup i knew i couldn't snatch him when he came down it could snap his spine.
so i leaned back and directed stormfly up she listened and hiccup fell past us i then leaned forward and she went into a dive.
"oh please work" i said quietly as we approached hiccup he was unconscious and pale. we got so we were side by side and i grabbed him and pulled him on the saddle.
stormfly then looked back seeing hiccup in the saddle she pulled out of the dive and flew us back to the arena hiccup was right about dragons knowing what their doing i thought as we landed.
banshee had just reached dagur's side as we landed i tried to get him down carefully by myself but he was heavier than i remember. so dagur had to come and help me as we got him to the ground "what's wrong with him" i asked.
"don't know" dagur said putting a ear to his chest "he's alive, that's good" he said. toothless then jumped off from the top of the arena and came to hiccup's side.
"alright let's get him to the healers" dagur said pulling him up by his arm "i think i know what's wrong with him". i threw his arm over my shoulders and we carried him to the healers hut.
"by the way that was an amazing rescue protocol you did" dagur said as we exited the arena. "really thanks i said i just told stormfly rescue and then i just leaned forward and back when i wanted her to dive."
"still that's good instincts" he said as we arrived at the healer's hut and seen a 30 year old women with red hair "oh hello dagur what-" she stopped mid sentence seeing hiccup.
"oh my god, chief" she said coming up and helping us out "quickly let's get him inside" she said helping us into the hut.
