"Oh, no..."
On the floor in front of Hiccup were at least 10 skeletons, most of them dragons. There were places on the skeletons where it looked like a small object had smashed through the bones, sometimes smashing clean through the skull. On the walls there were burn marks, focused mainly on small holes in the wall with small, hollow metal sticks pointing out. On the other side of the room, there was a small door with a human skeleton slumped against it, the skull in pieces on the floor.
Toothless took one sniff of one of the dead dragons, and immediately started growling, eyes turning to slits.
"Yeah, I don't like this place either. Let's get out of here," said Hiccup, turning around to leave.
"They're leaving."
"They're leaving?"
"That's what I said."
"Why?"
"It's that entrance..."
"Oh, I don't blame them for turning around then."
"But don't we need them to get Nathan out?"
"Yeah, you're right. I'll close the door. After they get past the killroom, then there shouldn't be too much more damage."
Hiccup didn't get much further than five steps before the door slammed closed in front of him. He stopped in his tracks, and nearly had Toothless knock him over as he skidded to a stop. Hiccup would have been annoyed, had he not been trapped in a cave with a long dead human and several long dead dragons.
"So... what do we do now?" Hiccup asked. Toothless marched back a few steps, and gestured for Hiccup to get behind him. Hiccup went one step further, hiding behind the corner, and Toothless released the biggest plasma blast he could.
After Hiccup stopped cowering behind Toothless, he saw what was left of the door. There was only one thing he could do.
He facepalmed.
"Oh no..."
"Damn it, I just lost control of the door."
"I, uh... I think I know why."
"Yeah, and why might that be?"
"Because there is no more door."
"Don't tell me the just-"
"They did. They tried to blow up the door."
"And now, I not only have to guide them through the facility to the cryo-rooms, I now have to find them a new exit as well."
"Well, maybe you should get started, because I think they're about to try to find their own way out."
Hiccup couldn't believe it. Toothless had just blown up not only the door, but the doorway as well. Toothless couldn't believe it either, and so he stared at the cave in that had fortunately only fallen over the door, and not where he and Hiccup were standing. They just stood there, dumbstruck, for about a minute before Hiccup regained his wits.
"You were only supposed to blow the door off! Now what are we supposed to do?" Toothless closed his gaping jaw, glanced at Hiccup, and walked around the corner.
"Where do you think you're going?" All Hiccup got in reply was a growl, and the sound of a (much smaller, thankfully) plasma blast, before Toothless poked his head around the corner with a croon and a 'come here' gesture, before disappearing around the corner again. Hiccup followed, and found a no longer intact door, with a still intact doorway, next to which Toothless sat with a smug expression on his face.
"I guess this is the only way we can go now," Hiccup said with a sigh. "Let's get out of here. These skeletons are creepy."
And with that, the pair ventured into the dark labyrinth, the way lit by Inferno, and Hiccup's leg making a metallic clink on the metal floor.
AN: Yes, I know this is significantly shorter than the other two chapters, and yes, it has been a while since I updated, but don't worry! In the next chapter, things will start being put together, AND it should be about 1.5-2 thousand words, rather than this chapter's very tiny amount of 603 words. Seriously, my AN is 210 words long.
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW! I've gotten 286 views total, 3 favourites, and 5 followers, but still NO REVIEWS! Please, I'm scared I'm sending Hiccup and Toothless Out of Character, AND I don't want my OC's to devolve into Marty Stu's and Mary Sue's. A little bit of constructive criticism will be great. If your simply going to say "Update Sooner" or similar, I just got to school holiday's, so I should update more regularly for at least the next two weeks, before I get ready for my final exams for not just the year, but high school as well, so I may place this story on hiatus for that period.
Anyway, please review, and I should update again by Tuesday.
