A/N: Okay! New Chapter's up! So, now that summer's started, and I've registered for my classes in the fall, the whole summer is free for me to write. Expect a new chapter at least every week starting...now! Nothing like a new chapter to make your weekend great, am I right? Well, enough of me typing, let's read on!


Chapter 6: Old Friends, New Enemies


The Big Sister walked through the hallway, passing garbage and rubble on her way. As she walked though, she kept thinking about that splicer. She was trying to figure out why he'd helped her Sister. He had nothing to gain by doing it, and furthermore, he seemed to make her Sister happy; not a false happiness, but a genuine one.

"Where can this Splicer be hiding?" She thought, trying to distract herself.

"He must be better at avoiding enemies than I thought."


"You have no idea where we're going, do you?" Toothless asked. Hiccup gave a nervous chuckle.

"Of course I know where we're going." He lied.

"Oh really? Then where are we?" Toothless asked smugly.

"Um…you know…in this area…that's in this part…of the city…Shut up!" Hiccup shouted. Toothless' laughter echoed throughout his head. Hiccup grumbled.

"Yeah, yeah go laugh at me." He said in defeat. After a while, Toothless stopped laughing and grew serious.

"Hiccup, we really need a map if we're going to get out of even this building."

"I know, but I've been walking all over the place, searching every corner and under piles of rubble, and there's not even a clue as to where to find one." He let out a groan.

"I wonder if finding a map will even be all that helpful." He wondered.

"Why wouldn't it?" Toothless asked.

"Well, all the map would really be doing is showing us the layout of Rapture. I'm sure there won't be a spot on it that says, "Here is the group you are looking for, please have a safe and happy day."

"Well, as much as an obstacle as this is, we would still be better at finding them if we found out where we are." Toothless told him. Hiccup nodded stiffly.

"Besides, are you sure you can be a part of the group again?" Hiccup froze at this.

"Of course they would. Why not?"

"Well, think about it. You have a unique super-plasmid that has abilities no one else has, and can easily take on a Big-Daddy in just two moves. Would your group be accepting of you with that kind of power?" Hiccup thought for a moment.

"Well, while those are good points, I'm still going to go. My Dad is still with them, and even if they reject me, I want to at least see him one more time." A sense of understanding came from Toothless.

"So, even if it takes all eternity to find them, I'll still go for it." Toothless understood again, though this one was laced with annoyance.

"And even if they-"

"Hiccup!" Toothless shouted. Hiccup jumped.

"I know you're in the middle of a spur of the moment speech, but just talking about it won't get us anywhere."

"Er, right." Hiccup said, rubbing his neck. He started walking again, heading towards what appeared to be a tree farm. As he approached the doors, they slid open, revealing hundreds of plants. Hiccup gasped at the site of them, and even Toothless gave off a feeling of awe at them.

"Oh my god." Hiccup gasped as he looked around. "These are the first plants I've seen in 10 years. I never expected them to still be so…so…"

"Alive?" Toothless suggested.

"Yeah." Hiccup agreed. Toothless purred a bit.

"This is the first time I've seen plants in a few centuries." He stated.

"Well, I guess this is a big moment for the both of us then, eh?" Hiccup said. He walked around, practically skipping around the trees and the flower beds.

"Can you please stop that? You look like a pansy." Toothless asked.

"Shut up." Hiccup said. "You honestly can tell me you wouldn't do the same being down here this whole time?" Toothless mumbled.

As they walked however, they didn't notice the three figures behind them.

"Can we kill them now? I hunger for Adam. I want Adam." One hissed in a squirmy tone.

"I want it. You get you own, it's my Adam." Another one stated; this one's voice more deep and raspy.

"No, we all get a fair piece." The third one stated. This one however, seemed less insane and more calculating and calm. The other two looked up at the leader.

"Can we attack him now? Can we? Can we? Can we?" The first one asked.

"Not until he is in a corner." The third one stated. The three of them slinked back into the shadows, where there were two instant cracks as petals flew everywhere.


The Big Sister made her way through an abandoned Trolley tunnel. As she looked around, she noticed some peculiar things. One was that a bench had been recently blown to bits. Another was the Nitro Splicer that blew it up, now a charred body on the ground. The Big Sister continued onward. As she neared the half-way zone, she noticed the Bouncer Body. She ran over, and shook it, hoping to somehow bring its life back. It just fell limp on the ground. The Big-Sister's helmet glowed scarlet red. She positioned the Bouncer in a suitable position before running through the other trolley tunnel. She noticed scrape marks leading under one of the cars. She looked underneath, and saw several wrappers lying about. She looked up ahead, and noticed a door heading out of the trolley tunnel. She ran to it, passing through as it automatically opened, and went down a tunnel.


Hiccup was still wandering about the garden. He was going through a section that had multiple rosebushes at the moment, making sure to watch out for Splicers as he gazed. He noticed the glittering dew on the petals. He felt Toothless' emotion of awe.

"Hiccup? What are these?" Toothless asked.

"How do you not know?" Hiccup asked, bewildered.

"Hey, I was in existence centuries ago. Everything was different back then. Plus, I lived in the cold north of this world, so there were hardly any plants at all." Toothless berated.

"Okay, sorry I brought it up." Hiccup said. "Anyway, these are roses. People use them for decoration mostly, but people in love with someone can give these to those they love as gifts to show their love."

"Strange, how you humans seem to show love through objects instead of through feats of strength." Toothless remarked.

"Why? Is that what dragons did to show love?"

"Yes. Usually, males will court a female by defeating other potential suitors in a contest of strength."

"That sounds weird to do. All you're doing is exploiting your talents to get someone." Hiccup stated.

"And how is that different than getting someone with your gifts?" Toothless asked. They both became silent.

"How did we get on this subject?" Hiccup asked.

"Better yet, let's get off it instead of ask how." Toothless suggested.

"Agreed." Hiccup said. They walked away from the roses and continued on through a nearby doorway. As soon as they left, there was a crack of sound as three figures appeared in an explosion of petals.

"When can we take the whelp?" One said; the guy's face all distorted and bumpy.

"Yeah, I'm burning! I need the Adam." Another said; his only exposed eye blood shot. The splicer between them, hidden in shadows, sighed.

"Okay...now." He said. With a crazed laugh, they ran forward, hands ablaze.
