Chapter 11: Shen's Satisfaction

Day after day, our heroes camp in another desert while eating their food in order to survive their journey. Shen, while watching them, takes out his paper and his quill pen and writes his journal.

Dear journal, it's been four-five days since we left Gongmen City and my palace. Since my old friends told me about this evil jaguar named Hushia. Not that the name is kind of wierd. It's just... she must be a lovely person... although she is evil... and I have to be aware that I am on a journey with my friends to find four more swords that combine with the one that viking's carrying. He told me that he must've gotten it from this Master Oogway. He also told me he was a turtle and was very old. That's odd. All my life I have never heard of him before, but Tigress said that he was a kind and wise kung fu master in which Master Shifu had been close friends to him. But what about that young viking? I bet has something much better besides that sword. I better go and have to force him to give me something wonderful.

Lord Shen then proceeds to hide without the others noticing him except for Hiccup, who then hears this noise and sees that Shen has gone missing.

"I'll be right back", said Hiccup and goes off to find Shen.

Hiccup searches around the canyon to find him, but is then lost and hears a noise from not too far away. He takes out the Sword of Odin, realizing that something might attack him. He turns around to see Lord Shen walking towards him.

"I bet that sword has magical powers", said Shen.

"It does", said Hiccup, "but I can't fight with it right now except only in troubled times of severe distress."

"Well, I think this is a troubled time for you, viking", said Shen, "Now, as soon as I take out my own weapon, you will give me satisfaction."

Hiccup cowers back, but doesn't run away and fights Shen, who takes out his metal talons to grab the sword and managed to jump on Hiccup's shoulder, intimidating him at first, but Hiccup hesitates and swings the handle to knock Shen to the ground.

"That's it, boy", said Shen, "Looks like that sword has proven you worthy to wield it. Come on!"

Hiccup charges at Shen, takes a few swings, missing Shen in the process before being knocked over by the peacock. Shen laughs heartily.

"Is that the best you got?", asked Shen.

"There's more", said Hiccup and the Sword of Odin suddenly glows and uses it to blast Shen with a beam of light, knocking him unconscious for a while and then wakes up.

"Impossible", said Shen.

"Nothing's impossible, Shen", said Hiccup, "As long as I have the sword with me, anything's possible."

"You are a very brave fighter yourself, viking", said Shen.

"Then I guess we're even", said Hiccup and takes out his right hand. Shen takes out his right wing and they shake hands with each other. Then, the wolves appear and see Hiccup and Shen still shaking hands.

"Looks like our lord's becoming a friend to that viking", said wolf #2.

"Tell me about it", said Zhong.


Chapter 12 would be shorter. So, enjoy.
