Part 7! If there are any Rayman fans that followed those far and wondered what is up with Razorbeard, well you will find out now. I seriously didn't notice for how absent he was up until now. Oh well...
Anyway, enjoy and please review!
Razorbeard woke up from his unconscious state, not sure where he was. He looked around for a few seconds before he realized he was tied up to a work table. He tried to break the metal chains that held him, but with no luck.
"Where am I? Who did this?" He screamed the questions, hoping for someone to answer as he still tried to break loose.
Not too far from there, The Berserkers' blacksmith greeted Dagur for his return and success at catching hostages. As they talked, they heard a voice coming from the workshop. They hurried to see who or what it belonged to and found the tiny robot pirate trying to break free.
"It's alive!" Both screamed in shock. "That scrap metal is alive!"
Razorbeard glared at them. "Who are you calling scrap metal?!" He asked, not amused. "Where am I and what do you want with me?" He asked.
Dagur was hesitant about answering to this thing, but figured it won't hurt to show his reputation. "You are in Berserk Island. I'm the chief here, Dagur The Deranged. You appeared out of thin air in here and you didn't move, so we brought you to the smithy to see what you are."
"Well, you know now." The robot answered in an annoyed tone. "Now I will be on my way if you don't mind, I have business to take care of!"
"I don't think we will let you go… We need some extra metal for new weapons." Dagur said casually before turning to the black smith to discuss what to do with Razorbeard.
As the robot tried to break free he saw a carriage being dragged around. It contained a dragon, it seems, and alongside it were a teenager and… Globox? Razorbeard couldn't believe it. If that was indeed Globox, there is a chance Rayman was coming for him… and maybe he could…
"Excuse me, Mr. Dagur." That got the young chief's attention. "I couldn't have but noticed how you captured a blue toad there at the carriage."
"I plan to use it as hostage for my enemies, what use is it to you?" He asked the robot.
"When you found it, were there a creature with no limbs and a big nose with him?" Razorbeard asked and Dagur's eyes widened a bit.
"Yes there was… Do you know them?"
"They are my arch enemies! The business I had talked about was eliminating them! It seems we have a common enemy." Razorbeard continued to speak, making the chief an offer. "Whatever it is you're doing, I can help you if you free me. I will make you weapons, and soldiers that will obey your command, just let me go and let me take my enemy down." He finished.
Dagur looked at the blacksmith with questioning eyes, how could they trust this thing? Then again, help is help. "Your enemy seemed to be at alliance with something I want dead… I kill it and we have a deal." Razorbeard shook his head in agreement and Dagur freed him. "I will leave you 2 to work on those weapons and army. I have a surprise I need to arrange for Hiccup, his Night Fury and their friends." He turned to the blacksmith. "Don't let me down." He said.
"Yes, Sir." He replied and Dagur walked out. The blacksmith turned to Razorbeard. "So, where do we start?" He asked awkwardly. He didn't really expect this situation to occur today.
The robot looked around at what was available and he and the blacksmith soon got to work.
Meanwhile, back at Berk, everyone was preparing for the fight.
Both Barbara and Astrid were sharping their axes, something the red-head found fascinating. "Is this common in here? Sharping your weapons?" She asked.
"Once they were used too much, yeah. If you didn't do it by now, I am sure it needed sharping sooner or later." Astrid told her.
Everyone else was either sharping his weapon or organizing his dragon for the rescue mission.
Hiccup settled Toothless's saddle and prosthetic tail fin and he put a round silver shield with a drawing of a Night Fury on it on his back. As he climbed on to the saddle, Rayman was also prepared for the fight. He didn't really need anything but himself.
"Are you ready?" Hiccup asked him.
"You bet."
As the rest of the riders got on their dragons, Barbara flying with Astrid, Hiccup told his father to ready the ships and follow as soon as they could.
For Rayman it was a simple rescue mission. But for Hiccup it was another encounter with Dagur, and if there is something Hiccup knew about the young chief, it was that he was, true to his name, deranged.
"Let's go, bud." Hiccup told Toothless and they were soon on their way to Berserk Island.
Rescue mission is a go! We aren't all that far away from the ending, though who knows with my uploading times...
I know that this chapter turned out really short but it felt right to cut there, for suspence and what not.
Hope you liked it!
