Chapter two

Living and dead

"what was that?!" Camicazi demanded, this was a bit confusing for her, as well as the children behind her. Burpy was now lying quite still, eyes closed, not even breathing. He seemed to be dead… until his eyes snapped open and he shouted,

"CYBERMAN!" He sat up quickly as if he was being pushed up by a god, his hands were now glowing with golden wisps appearing all over them.

"Something that shouldn't be here, that's for certain." Joules finished, his hair was still sparking slightly, "what's happening to your hands Burpy?" The glowing had stopped, and Burpy was breathing normally, but he instantly knew what had happened, and sure what was going to happen later,

"I think that I died," Burpy said to the shock of Camicazi, Zephyr, and Nuffink. "And I am now about to regenerate, as The Doctor put it." He then explained to the group what the doctor told him about regeneration, he expected that it would take approximately half an hour to compliantly change, if he controlled it. A voice came from the village, it sounded rather threatening,

"WHERE IS HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK III?!" It demanded, the group walked to the source of the voice, it came from a young man, with bulging muscles, thick black hair, and a very long thin moustache, he was wearing torn clothes. He shouted again, "WHERE IS HE?!" Camicazi stepped forward, and said in a cautious voice,

"He died last night, why do you want him?" The man looked at her, drew a sword and screamed,

"VENGEANCE FOR ALVIN!" And ran at Camicazi, she drew out a sword and effortlessly parried the blow, and this old woman of supposedly over 80, fought this young man with no help whatsoever, she was dodging every blow, and constantly throwing in random insults at the man,

"Ooooh, you are just TERRIBLE at this, really TERRIBLE… what am I? Over 80 years old? And I can easily parry all of your attacks, your parents must be ASHAMED of you!"

"MY FATHER WAS KILLED BY YOUR HUSBAND, CAMICAZI HADDOCK!" Screamed the man, and pulled out a hook from behind him, ducked down, and used the hook to pull Camicazi over! Toothless was shocked at seeing this, he whispered to Burpy, (we will see dragonese in English now),

"T-T-That is Alvin's hook!" Burpy remembered Camicazi mentioning a person called Alvin the Treacherous who was Hiccups arch enemy before his death, he definitely hated toothless, who did a poo in Alvin's helmet, Burpy and Joules had laughed when they heard of this. This supposed son of Alvin was now about to run Camicazi through, Burpy had to do something! He concentrated another fireball, and threw it at the man, it singed his moustache and he immediately turned to look at them. Toothless cowered behind Joules whilst Burpy formed another fireball. The man then reached down, snatched something from Camicazi's belt, and ran away!

Burpy tried to chase after him, but was now struggling to stay standing, the regeneration must be sapping his strength.

"GRANDMA!" Zephyr and Nuffink screamed and ran over to Camicazi to help her up, Toothless helped too by grabbing her shoulder and flying upwards. Joules helped Burpy up, and picked up a long stick from the grass and gave it to him to balance on.

"That didn't go well!" Burpy exclaimed, leaning on the stick, "what did he take?"

"He took Hiccups Dragon Eye!" Toothless screamed, Burpy translated for Joules, whatever this dragon eye was must be very dangerous in deed.

"Well, that would be a problem… if it didn't require light from a dragons fire!" Camicazi said joyously, she then explained that the Dragon Eye was a device that Hiccup had made that shows everything about dragons and their habitats. It would show where each dragon would have hidden, and that could be a big problem.

"Good that Toothless is the only dragon left now!" Nuffink exclaimed, Burpy meanwhile, was trying to stop his regeneration again, he was definitely between life and death now. Toothless was looking rather sheepish, Camicazi noticed and said suspiciously,

"You are the only dragon not hiding, aren't you Toothless?" Toothless then muttered something that nobody could understand,

"Pardon?" Asked Burpy, Toothless then said slowly and sounding ashamed,

"I have b-b-been meeting Stormfly for the last y-year"

"WHAT!" Screamed Camicazi in horror.
