Relative Earth Time: May the 9th, 2716
Three days after Berkfall
Location: Somewhere in the Eclipse System
Beep
Over and over again, his last memory he could recall played
Beep
All he could hope that with his sacrifice, his friends and what little family he had survived.
Beep
He will miss Aurelia, though.
Beeeeeeeep
Hiccup woke with a start, his arms making a quick movement of hosting his body up into a seating position. He was sitting on, what felt like carpet. It was soft, like it hadn't been used that often, and had a velvet satin feel.
Beep
Hiccup looked forward. A red light that synchronized with a beeping sound was forward. It flashed a holographic display, with the word 'WARNING' in capitalized font. Each time it flashed, it illuminated the silhouette of a swivel seat, half turned in his direction. The red holographic display, emitted very little light, showing only red shaded shapes of the room around him. As to he could tell the room was small, possibly not too much larger than a car and a half in length. To his left was a small bench surface, no higher than his knee. To his right was the same, except it was about waist height. Other than that, he couldn't see much more at the back of the "capsule". At the front, he could make out a console, with two joysticks either side of the now distinct flight chair.
Hiccup stood, he had a feeling that he knew what this room was. Moving over to the Chair, he sat noticing that under the warning that was a smaller capitalized font that read "POWER LEVELS CRITICAL". Hiccup tried tapping the console but got no response. He stood, and moved back to the back of the room. Pressing his palm and fingers at the center of a panel, it scanned his hand, before opening up leaving a circle in the middle where his hand remained. At his knee height were several cylinders, the length of your wrist to your elbow, where neatly stacked in holders. Each glowing bright, rainbow of colors.
Hiccup moved his hand away, before the panel his hand was on, opened exposing one of the cylinders that were hooked directly into a plug deeper inside the panel. This cylinder though was not glowing like the others. Instead, it was utterly dull holding very little color in it. Removing it, Hiccup swapped it with one of the neatly stacked cylinders.
"Damn power cell's damaged." Hiccup commented to himself. He slid the newer power cell into the hole where he collected the previous dead one. With a satisfying clunk, the rooms power systems hummed to life. The lights flicked on exposing what he couldn't see before. Looking back towards the seat, the low beach to is left was, in fact, a bed, although it wasn't very wide, just wide enough to fit one person. To his left was a counter top. It was clean and had no sort of appliance or object on top, but there was a disk of light on top of the table. Above the counter was a set of cupboards.
Sitting back down at the flight seat the once previous WARNING holo-sign was now replaced with:
Touch to initialize systems
Under it was a circle, with a moving picture of a fist with the index finger tapping the center of the circle. Doing as it said, Hiccup placed his finger on the ring, just find the hard surface behind it. The ship hummed, and the flight console whirred to life.
"Okay, sensors offline, shields at half entropy for some reason, weapons offline, engines offline and life support running fine." Hiccup read. "Great! Is anything useful working?" That's when he noticed it. A small prompt on the console display, asking him to initialize the NF-01 Prototype AI. Pressing his index finger onto the screen, a hologram showed up with loading bars of multiple systems starting up.
Zero Kelvin Coolant Gen. Starting up.
CPU. Starting up.
Data Drives. Starting up.
Miscellaneous Systems. Starting up.
Welcome!
"Hello?" Hiccup meekly asked. After a drawn out pause, he was answered by a coo, but It came out English in his head. "Oh, Toothless! Don't do that; you scared me!" A whine answered him. "Thanks, by the way. For you know, saving me." Another coo in response.
"External telemetry isn't working can you active the viewer window please?" Toothless complied, changing a section of the shallow roof in front of him, see through, much to Hiccup's displeasure. He screamed. "Shade Filter! SHADE FILTER!" Toothless activated the filter over the viewfinder.
"Oh no…" Hiccup gasped. There was no way that this happened." Hiccup was completely amazed, and Toothless was also. They were orbiting about a mile of above the photosphere of a star. "How did we even get in this position!"
(Toothless can communicate with Hiccup using a bio-neural chip.(Only Hiccup can understand him))
"Beats me." Toothless said, "the explosion has damaged me."
"How did you even get to me?" Hiccup asked. "I was in engineering. That's in like, the center of the ship."
"Superheated proton lasers can bore through anything, including radioactive/superheat shielding," Toothless said smugly.
"That's my AI." Hiccup said proudly. "Okay, in all seriousness, Orbit stability?"
"Eighty-seven percent stable."
"Current Speed?"
"Six hundred thousand meters a second, plus."
That was fast. Traveling around a star would have to be. "Do we know where we are?" Hiccup asked after a heavy silence
"I have no sensor telemetry; I'm being exposed to too much solar radiation. I have no clue where we are." Toothless said somberly.
"How about a status report?" Hiccup asked. Although he did not want to know what was wrong, he had enough bad news as it was.
"Solar radiation is bombarding the shields but, it is absorbing most of it as well as the heat."Toothless started. "Hex-Hull is perfectly operational, and consuming the rest of radiation. Weapons offline, engines disabled."
Hiccup sighed. He was going to need an impossible miracle to get out of this one. He felt guilty; everyone thought he was dead.
He might as well be.
Sorry that this was late, and short. But I've been very busy. I've just finished a heap of assessments, but at the moment I've only got one three hour practical exam. And I'm also trying to upgrade my computer for current to beast. Sooo yeah.
But Yeah as you now know, Hiccup is not dead, And the Night Fury is his Bio-Neural bonded Dragon fighter, the first of its kind. Pilot and Ship in perfect synchronous, it's almost, poetic.
Next up will be Stoicks perspective.
Each chapter will be as follows
Stoick, Astrid and Aurelia's Perspective
Valka and Science-Lieutenant Mason Specter Perspective
Hiccup's Perspective
The the loop repeats
The main OC's in this story are.
Aurelia - Hiccup's Girlfriend
Science-Lieutenant Mason Specter - Huge role in the later story, heavily based off one of my followers; thearizona
Other OC's maybe introduced, I don't know. Send in some PM's if you would like to see a custom
That's it from me
