Chapter 5 Ambush gone wrong
"So this is Dragon Island." Leif said as he stepped off the ship with Eret behind him
"Yeah." Eret said gleefully "This is where most of the wild dragons live. A dragon trappers' paradise…"
"You were a trapper?"
"I was." Eret said softly "But then Hiccup found me and showed me what amazing and intelligent creatures dragons are. And, after a few more events, I found that it was terribly wrong to trap, and sometimes kill, dragons."
"So Hiccup changed your mind?" Lief asked in awe "I've heard that he tried to change Drago's mind, but it didn't work out."
"No it didn't." a voice said from above the two of them "In fact, it had the exact opposite outcome that I had hoped for."
"Chief." Eret said as Hiccup landed Toothless in front of them "We didn't mean to upset you."
"S'alright." Hiccup said as he dismounted Toothless "Hey Gobber!"
"Yeah?" the said blacksmith questioned as he walked up with Toothless' independent tailfin under his arm "Ya' need this?"
"Good thinking Gobber." Hiccup responded as he detached Toothless' manual tailfin and saddle and replaced it with the other. "There ya' go bud." He told his cold-blooded companion "Now go and be the alpha."
With a snort of agreement, and a nudge towards Hiccup for luck, Toothless took off into the sky with a mighty roar that shook the waves and rattled the trees.
"Remarkable." Leif said as he watched all of the wild dragons on Dragon Island surround Toothless and swarm around the said Night Fury "He truly is the alpha."
"He definitely is." Hiccup said with a smile on his face "And with the dragons now under Toothless' protection and bidding, they'll help us when Drago gets here."
"Where do you want the troops at Hiccup?" Fishlegs asked as he approached
"I want the catapults to go up on the front ridge here." Hiccup instructed "With 100 men manning them. The rest we split up into two groups, one going on either side of the valley. Make sure that the archers have a clean shot into the valley. Leif, you take your ships to the far end of the cove, and wait for Toothless' signal to seal off their escape from the island."
"Will do." both Fishlegs and Leif said in unison and departed to set up the ranks
"And where are you going to go Hiccup?" Gobber asked
"I'll be in the valley. I'll act as the bait to draw the enemy into the valley, and into the archer's sights. I might, and I say might, take a few volunteers with me."
"And who are these volunteers?" Gobber asked
"Me, for one." another voice said as he landed next to the chief and his mentor "Go help Toothless Silverwings. I'll be fine."
-Nudges Sam's side out of reluctance-
"Hey look at me." Sam said as he stared into her eyes "I'll be fine. Remember my promise to you? I keep them from hurting you, and you keep them from hurting me. We've got each other's backs. Right?"
-Grunts reluctantly-
"Good. Now you need to get to Toothless."
"She's definitely one of a kind Sam." Gobber said as they watched Silverwings take off after Toothless and the other dragons
"That she is Gobber. That she is."
"Hiccup!" Astrid exclaimed as she walked up to him
"A-Astrid!" Hiccup stuttered "Hey Astrid. Hi Astrid."
"What is this that I'm hearing?"
"Bout what?" Hiccup asked
"That you're being the decoy. AGAIN!" she shouted "Why didn't you…"
"Think this through?" Hiccup interrupted "But I did Astrid! And I believe that this plan is flawless."
"Invite me." his wife told him with a smile
"What?"
"Why didn't you invite me?" she repeated
"I-I don't want you to get hurt." Hiccup said as he tried to reason
"Hiccup, if you're going to willingly put yourself in harm's way. I'm going to be with you."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure she's sure!" Tuffnut said as he walked up to them "And we're going to be with you too."
At the end of the next five minutes, Hiccup's decoy went from: Hiccup, to Astrid, to Ruff and Tuff, to Gobber, to Snotlout, to Valka, to Sam.
"Not what I had in mind…" Hiccup said to himself
"Get used to it Dragon Boy." Astrid told him "If you're going to die, I'm going to die alongside you."
"Thanks dear. That was encouraging."
"CHIEF! CHIEF!" a solder screamed as he ran up to him "Alvin's here!"
"Form ranks!" Hiccup yelled "Hold together!"
"Ah, Hiccup." Alvin said coolly as he stepped off of his ship "Long time no see."
"Really?" Hiccup asked "Cause I don't really remember you. Who are you again?"
"Shut up you little runt!" Alvin almost screamed "If it wasn't for Lord Bloodvist, I'd take this island now!"
"And what's stopping you?" Hiccup responded
"A game that he wants us to play." Alvin said with a sinister grin on his face "He wants me to fight one of your men, or it can be you, in single combat. The fight will be to the death, and the reward is all of the dragons on Dragon Island."
"And why would I agree to those terms?" Hiccup shouted back
"Because I know you 'iccup." Alvin said "I know that you will willingly sacrifice your life for your people."
"Hiccup's not fighting you." Sam said as he stepped forward "I am."
-Laughs heartily-"You? The runt's newest member? I accept the challenge…whatever small it might be." Alvin said with an evil grin
"Sam," Hiccup said as he grabbed the Murkians shoulder "I can't let you do this."
"Too late." Sam said as he shook off Hiccup's hand and approached Alvin
"Let's get this over with." Sam said as he drew his sword and unfolded his shield
"Lets." Alvin said as he lunged at Sam with lightning speed whom parried perfectly and sent a powerful lunge towards Alvin's legs, which was also blocked by Alvin's shield
"That crest on your shield." Alvin said in the mist of swings "I've seen it before."
"You have." Sam growled as he lunged again "You attacked that island."
"Murk?" Alvin said in shock, mistakenly letting down his guard. Seeing his opening, Sam sent his spiked knee into Alvin's gut
"ARGH!" Alvin shouted in pain as he slammed his shield into Sam's helmet, dazing the Murkian "I thought we killed all of the able-bodied men of that island." he said as he sung again
"Not all of them." Sam said as he barely blocked Alvin's sword with his shield "You forgot about the heir."
"'The heir'." Alvin said in thought "Your Sam! I told my men to kill you!"
"Hate to disappoint you." Sam said as he sent a powerful swing towards Alvin's head which was dodged perfectly "But they failed."
"Well then." Alvin said as he sent a roundhouse kick into Sam's chin sending him sprawling onto the ground "I guess that I'll finish the job." And with that, Alvin plunged his sword strait into Sam's stomach, and continued to plunge it into him until the hilt of the sword was touching his bloody flesh. Pinning Sam to the ground.
"I hope you suffer." Sam managed to say before he started to cough up large amounts of blood
"No, You. Will. Suffer." Alvin said with a sinister laugh as he gripped the hilt of his sword and pulled it back out of Sam in one fluent movement, earning an ear-splitting scream from the fallen warrior
"Bring up the beast!" Alvin shouted to his men as he stood over his recent prey, which was barely breathing, and laying in a sickening pool of blood
From behind Alvin, rose the largest dragon of them all.
The Black Bewilderbeast.
"Him again?" Snotlout said "Alright, where's Toothless?"
Right as Snotlout finished speaking, two black blurs sped through the sky, one went straight for Alvin, and the other went for the Bewilderbeast.
The Bewilderbeast, after seeing the Night Alpha, immediately bowed its head and slumped forward. Surrendering himself to Toothless' mercy.
"What are you doing?!" Alvin screamed as he saw the giant dragon slump away like a wounded kitten "Get back here and-"
Alvin was cut off when he was tackled by one of his men, who saw Silverwings coming straight for his chief, and tried to block his chief from the Night Furriness. Resulting in him getting teared into shreds by Silverwings viscous fangs and claws.
"Retreat!" Alvin cried out as he watched Silverwings tear his solder to sheds
After Silverwings finished tearing the Outcast into so many pieces that you couldn't tell him apart from a human or a pile of mush. She immediately turned her attention to her boy, who was barely alive at that moment.
No, No, No! Sam! Y-You can't die on me! You can't! Silverwings screeched as she nudged his head
"S-Sil-Silverw-w-wings?" Sam said in a just barely audible tone before he passed out completely
NOOO! Silverwings screeched again TOOTHLESS! SOMBODY! ENYBODY! HELP!
"Silverwings." Hiccup said to her as he approached with the others and placed a hand upon her snout "It'll be alright."
No it won't she crooned He's going to die because I wasn't there to save him
"We need to get him into some shelter." Valka said as he looked over Sam's wound
"There!" Gobber shouted "A cave!"
"Good a spot as any." Hiccup said "Gobber, you grab Sam. Snotlout, tell the troops that we are camping here tonight."
"Got it." The two of them said at the same time, and went off to do the very things that they were told to do.
Once in the cave, Valka set to removing Sam's armor and trying to stop the constant flow of blood that came from gabbing hole inside of him
"He's lost a lot of blood." she said "And he has internal bleeding. His right lung was slashed open, and it's filling with blood. He…he's not going to make it." she said as she stood up slowly "I'm sorry."
There you go…
Bye! *runs for life*
