Chapter 7: Blast From the Past

Hiccup felt his sixth sense kick in. He quickly called up Toothless's Scales as a fireball hit him. He grunted as part of it hit his skin.

"Hiccup! Splicers!" Toothless shouted. Hiccup turned to see two splicers with their arms ablaze, their masks carved out of wood rather than plaster. They suddenly exploded with a loud crack.

"Houdinis." He murmured. A crack right next to him alerted Hiccup. A fireball hit him in the back of the head. Even with the dragon scales, it left a small sting.

"You can't catch me!" The splicer taunted before exploding again. Another crack, and another fireball hit him again, this time on his back. Hiccup raised his arms as they thickened and grew claws out of his fingers. He whirled around and slashed, only to meet thin air. He looked around desperately trying to find them. Another fireball hit, but the splicer was gone before hiccup could attack him.

"Hiccup, they're only invisible! Use my sight!" Toothless told him. Hiccup noded and concentrated. His eyes felt weird. In his mind, he saw his eyes change, the white and emerald replaced by bright shades of green, and his pupils contracted into slits. He opened his eyes. Everything was different now. He could see everything in a brighter light, and many objects and areas jumped out at him. He quickly picked up on something; a reddish aura rippled through the air. Hiccup quickly slashed at it. A cry of pain was uttered as one Houdini appeared, blood spurting from the stump his arm was connected to. Hiccup formed his maw and shot a bolt of blue-violet fire at him. He went up in flames, screaming and shouting for help before going still.

A crack came from behind, and Hiccup quickly spun and sliced with his claws. A surprised Houdini splicer stared at him, his drooping mouth in shock. A second later, it, along with the rest of his head separated from his body. Hiccup turned away from the gory sight, not wanting to see it.

"I can't believe I did that." He choked.

"It was either you or them Hiccup. This is survival down here, and I have first hand experience of dying. It's better to live." Toothless assured him. Hiccup nodded, still feeling queasy. Suddenly, clapping came from behind him. Hiccup turned to see a splicer, walking up.

"Well done, Hiccup." He said. Hiccup looked closely.

"Fishlegs?" Hiccup gasped. "I thought you were dead!" Fishlegs scowled.

"Well, good to see you think good of me." He sarcastically said. Hiccup shook his head.

"But…how did you…" He stuttered.

"Survive the war? Easy." He explained. "The Hive saved me. I was taken in by them, and they gave my health back." Suddenly Fishlegs' veins began to glow. Hiccup watched in horror as his skin grew scales and his muscle mass grew.

"And more." He finished. He was now a brownish-green creature, bigger than Hiccup, with four stubby legs, a pair of small wings, and a large club tail!

"He's become a Gronkle? Toothless questioned. "Who is this guy?"

"A friend of mine before the war ten years ago. I thought he died in a collapsed lobby though." Hiccup answered.

"I didn't." Fishlegs' warped voice told him. "Splicers of the hive rescued me at the bottom of the hole. I was returned to good health, and given my power. More power than you'll ever have."

He ran forward. Hiccup, off guard, managed to shield himself before Fishlegs rammed him, sending him flying. Hiccup crashed against a wall before landing. Fishlegs Calmly trotted over as Hiccup got up, clutching his stomach.

"What really bugs me the most though, is that no one attempted to save me. You were right next to me when it happened, and never warned me." Hiccup stood up, only to be whacked by Fishlegs' club tail. His arm shattered, and he grunted in pain.

"Well, now it's your turn." Hiccup felt himself get picked up by Fishlegs' four claws, a buzzing sound coming above him. He squirmed as Fishlegs flew over to a nearby balconey. Hiccup gasped as he saw the drop. It was almost 10 stories down. Hiccup closed his eyes.

"Now you're gonna feel my pain." Fishlegs threatened, though at the moment it was more of a promise.

"Goodbye Hiccup." He said.

"Hiccup!" Toothless shouted. "My wings! Use my wings!" Hiccup closed his eyes tightly. Fishlegs looked on and gave a sneer.

"Coward." He muttered. He let go. Hiccup began tumbling down. He was more focused on his body though, trying to form Toothless' wings. His veins began to pulse and glow. His body quickly built up on muscle. His hair retracted, and from the back of his head grew 6 flaps. His ears extended into two larger flaps on top of his head, which grew more angular. His spine extended into a long tail, with black scales and two steering fins . On his sides grew two stabilizing fins, and from his back grew two large wings.

Hiccup opened his eyes and spread his newly formed wings. Just before he hit, he did a U-Turn in the air and began flying, albeit a bit awkwardly, towards Fishlegs. Fishlegs was in shock at what happened. Hiccup was now completely Night Fury. He shot up and grabbed Fishlegs by his head, and threw him to the ground. He landed and made a small crater in the floor. Hiccup landed and pounced. Fishlegs countered by pushing with his own legs, sending Hiccup over him. Hiccup landed paws first and charged him. Fishlegs also charged, his club tail raised. They collided. Hiccup was sent backwards while Fishlegs growled in pain. Blood was leaking from a slash in his side. Hiccup turned to face Fishlegs.

"Fishlegs! Stop this, I'm sorry for what happened, but there was nothing I could've done to keep you from falling down there!" Fishlegs closed his eyes as his veins glowed. The wound instantly sealed shut.

"You think I care about that? I've put that all in the past now, because the only thing that matters is the future down here. And that is the Hive." Fishlegs charged forward. Hiccup spread his wings and darted forward, claws outstretched. They nearly collided-

"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Both stopped in their tracks. Hiccup felt a chill run down his spine. Fishlegs looked at Hiccup and smirked.

"Good luck with the Tinny, dead meat." He hovered over to the balconey before dropping down. Hiccup darted to the edge and looked over the edge.

"FISHLEGS!"

"SCRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The screech was much closer.

"Hiccup, what is that?" Toothless questioned, getting a bit frantic.

"It's a Big Sister, a little sister whose grown up. They go insane and have more powers and strength than anything in Rapture." Hiccup said, turning around.

"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Suddenly, a loud crack echoed throughout the chamber. In the middle of the room, a cloud of purple petals fell to the floor, revealing a Big Sister!

"We're so screwed Toothless." Hiccup croaked. The Big Sister darted forward.


Somewhat sweet story so far, right? Let me know through the reviews! And no flames, just constructional criticism. Happy Summer!
