Well good reading! Enjoy chapter 6 XD
Hiccup had never seen anything like it.
The dragon was indeed magnificent but really really odd. Half of his body was black like a Night Fury, the other half white like a Snow Wraith. The eye on the black side was as red as fresh blood can be. The one on the white side was a beautiful mix of blue and green. The dragon was about the size of a Titan Wing but larger and muscular than the other species. It's tale covered by dark blue spines just like a Nadder.
"Toothless, barrel roll! Multiple plasma blast!" yelled Hiccup, pointing to the target: the four Dragon Hunters holding the misterious dragon captive.
The guards fell uncouscious on the ground but Ryker grabbed the chains automaticly, leaving no time for the creature to escape. Obviously not amused, the dragon roared so high that everyone's heads seemed ready to blow up.
Toothless landed, blocking the two Hunters' path to their ship. "You better reliese'im!" Hiccup threatned.
"With an empty threat like that, I'll tie him tighter!" Ryker laughed.
Hiccup dismounted Toothless and approached Viggo. He noticed Stormfly landing behind their enemy, using some giant boulders for cover, while Astrid walked sneakily towards them, her axe at the ready.
"Release the dragon." Hiccup said again. Of course he didn't expect them to do what he demanded, he just had to say something and keep them busy so Astrid could have her work facilitated.
"Hiccup Haddock, so predictable." Viggo started " Always there for the dragons. I wonder if you'll ever change."
"I don't know, will you Viggo? Ooohh yeaahhh that's right you won't."
" Hum…you're a clever boy Hiccup Haddock. A truly worthy adversary but the thing is… you care to much, you're too selfless. That can block this" Viggo said, toutching his head with his own finger. "That's why you'll fall…" he never got to finish the sentence.
"Yaarghh!" Astrid jumped out of nowhere. She ran towards Viggo but she also forgot someone… Ryker.
Yes he was grabbing the chains and if you looked at him he didn't look able of doing anything with his hands occupied and stuggling to hold the beats but Ryker managed to secure her with the same chains securing the mad dragon. Astrid's axe fell to the ground.
"Astrid no!" Hiccup yelled. Ryker gave his new hostage to Viggo who pointed a crossbow at Astrid's head.
"So how's it going to be Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third? I know you have the Dragon Eye. I gave you the riddle, the key to find it. Ando f course that a brilliant mind like yours would solve it with ease."
"Hiccup no! Don't! It's not worth it!" Astrid said.
"Why give it to me and then want it back? You needed time but why? It isn't just about the dragon. Why?" Hiccup asked.
"Hand it over or you'll find out." Ryker warned.
"Hiccup don't!" Astrid sceamed, desperatly.
Hiccup heard wings above them. "Yeeaah, sorry. Can't do." He said shrugging "I hid it in my other boot" he pointed to his prosthetic "and now I can't find it. The trolls must've stolen it. They always steal your left socks and boots ya know. Shame."
"Then your little friend here will suffer the consequences." Ryker laughed.
"No. You will suffer them" Astrid said, a confident smile on her face. Her smile was so confident that Hiccup though everything was going to end well.
Both Ryker and Viggo looked up, just in time to see some of their own paralised soldiers fall towards them.
"Hey need a hand? Here have a whole body ha!" Snotlout laughed.
"Does this mean we get to push Snotlout out of Hookfang?" Tuffnut asked, hope in his eyes.
"No. It doesn't mean that." Fishlegs answered " Although it would feel very good."
"Hey! It's me we're talking about!" Snotlout complained.
"Sorry pal but it is what it is!" Ruffnut said dropping another soldier.
It was her chance. Astrid freed herself from Viggo's grip. When the man realised it and prepared his crossbow a soldier landed right between them, stopping Viggo from shoothing Astrid.
Another one fell right on top of Ryker, who subcounsciously drooped the chains setting the dragon free… aaannd mad.
Beating his diferent coloured wings it flew towards Astrid, the first person on foot in his camp of vision.
"No!" Hiccup sceamed noticing this. He ran as fast as he could and pushed Astrid aside taking her place as the dragon's fury target.
"Hiccup no!" She screamed. Unintentionally, her head hit the rocks and Astrid was embebed in darkness.
While that the wild, misterious, very dangerous, probably deadly, deadly for sure dragon crashed against Hiccup who fell to the ground with the dragon on top of him. Hiccup gasped when he felt the dragon's claws sanking in his chest "Ahhh!" he couldn't help but scream.
Suddently the world changed. He was no longer on that island, no longer seeing the wild dragon's eyes right over him. Suddently several images passed in front of his eyes.
Flames ruled the place, then a giant explosion. He saw himself, a familiar (bad familiar) gigantic beast emmerging from the fire. The Red Death, it´s roar, it's…tale. He saw Toothless flying towards him. They were falling down.
Another roar brought him back to the real life. A familiar roar. A roar that he loved. Toothless crashed against the misterious dragon, in order to release Hiccup from the creature's claws. Hiccup stayed right where he was, not moving a muscle. His eyes wide open in shock.
He watched as Toothless blocked the space between him and the other dragon, roaring at it obviously upset. The black and white dragon roared back, but there was something diferent in it's roar. The red eye, once shining with an obvious killing wish was now calmer, the greenish tone on the other one much more noticeable now. The now-calm dragon looked at Hiccup who was still laying on the ground. Is… is he sorry? Hiccup though. No, he was hallucinating that must've been it.
Toothless passed his nose under Hiccup's back, helping the boy moving to a sitting position. Ohh, his chest hurt. Hiccup thanked Toothless, who smelled his rider worriedly. The boy touched his own chest just to soil his fingers in fresh blood. Iack, blood. I hate blood. It's just so… blood-ish.
The other dragon was now staring at the sea, where Viggo and Ryker'd their ship, long gone by now, leaving their whole frozen fleet behind.
Toothless bumped his head with Hiccup's and cooed. "Yeah… I'm- I'm ok bud" Hiccup reassured the Night Fury (he honestly didn't know who he was trying to convence the most, if Toothless or himself), petting the dragon during the process."We better get out of here."
He got up with Toothless' help, still dizzy and receiving a wave of pain everytime he breath but Hiccup tried to ignore it. He ran for Astrid, stumbling every now and then. The blonde was still uncounscious and he felt guilty for that, he really did. "Astrid! Astrid!" he called but it was useless. He picked her up and mounted Toothless. Click. The tailfin mode was ready and they took off.
The heat was really annoying and the bright sunlight in his eyes didn't let him see clearly. He wanted to go after Viggo, especially now that he didn't have his whole fleet with him, but thanks to him Astrid was uncouscious.
The riders and Stormfly gathered up and flew in the direction of the Edge, not wanting to be in that place anymore.
"We were chasing Viggo and Ryker to the shore, Hiccup" Fishlegs started " that's when we heard a scream and turned back sorry, he got away. Is Astrid ok?"he asked.
"I-I don't kn-know. She knocked her head hard. But I think she's just uncounscious. I hope…" Hiccup answered ignoring the pain that Astrid's head provoqued when toutching his injured chest.
"You sure?" Snotlout said " because I'm seeing blood."
"Yeah. Thankfully it's not her blood."Hiccup answered, trying to forget the feeling of the red liquid slowly flowing out of his body. He couldn't stand blood and just thinking about it was driving his stomach nuts. He knew it wasn't a fatal wound but it was still bleeding.
"Oh Thor oh are you ok?" Fishlegs cried.
"I think so." Hiccup answered again but before anything else they heard a roar behind them. Seriously, Hiccup was starting to be 100% done with that dragon, those hunters, those rocks… with everything basicaly. At least his crazy plan with the Stingers'd worked…
They turned around just to see a figure the size of a Titan Wing approaching them. They were being followed by the previous dragon.
"Hahahaha" Snotlout laughed.
Everyone looked at him.
"Great Hiccup! Great!" Snotlout continued. "Help the dragon, free the dragon, let the dragon KILL US ALL!"
"Why is he following us?" Fishlegs wondered.
"Who cares!" Tuffnut shouted.
"Yeah!" Ruffnut joined her brother" It's dangerous and we wanna toutch it. We volunteeir to mount.. er distract it!"
"No." Said Hiccup, watching the approaching dragon's eyes glued to him and Toothless "I- I think it wants Toothless and I."
"What? Why would he? I mean who'd want you?" Snotlout blurted.
"I don't know Snotlout" Hiccup answered ignoring his cousin's obvious insult. He looked at Astrid held tight in his arms, her head (and hair) stained with his blood, lolling against his chest "But I'm not waiting to find out." He handed Astrid to Snotlout and flew in the opposite direction. "We'll meet at the Edge!" The two coloured dragon changed his course in order to follow Hiccup and Toothless, confirming his assumptions.
"But Hiccup you're hurt-" Fishlegs tried talking some sense to Hiccup but to no use. The Night Fury and his rider were already out of sight.
*Grins maniacally* *looks around* What do you think'll happen next? *Evil laugh* *coughs* *chokes while laughing*
OHHHH I know very well what'll happen next. Enjoy your feelings today, cause tomorrow's a new day. A perfect one for a new chapter. That's right.
I'll try to finish this story this week. And I'm probably goin' to write a one-shot after this one's finished. I'm kind of divided in two stories so I'll tell you in the next Author's notes, next chapter. So many ideas. IDEAS OVERLODE!
Hope you liked chapter 6 guys.
Cause you won´t enjoy it for much longer. *vanishes in smoke while laughing like Dagur*
