Here is another chapter! We are reaching the end of this story and this is pretty much the setup for the climax. So, hope you will enjoy and please review if you have anything to say!
In a very short time, since he had experience and help on his side, Razorbeard has managed to create a decent army of new robot pirates to help The Berserkers. Robot pirates were the type of soldiers Razorbeard had at the time he first fought Rayman. The robots had a head that resembled skull drawings on pirate ships, and they seemed to have red clothing. This time, however, with the Varity of weapons the Vikings possessed he managed to build robots with more than one weapon. While the robots still had their regular arm cannons, their other arm was replaced with either axes or swords.
After the intense work was done, Dagur checked the robots to see if they will answer his demands. After a long time checking, he approved of the robots as an army.
"Set this group at the front of the island as a welcome gift for Hiccup and his Night Fury." He pointed to the group of robots wielding the same weapon he used to bring down Meatlug. "Set this group on guard for the prisoners and have the rest as back up for the front." He ordered his men, who hurried to follow his orders.
Dagur smiled to himself, sure that he can't lose this time, when he caught Razorbeard who was near him. "Good job on those robots, Robot." He said. "Now, come with me. I need you for the final part of my plan to destroy our enemies."
"And what will that be?" The robot asked curious.
"How good are you with dragons?" Dagur asked with a large smirk on his face.
The dragon riders reached Berserk Island, and they weren't slow to notice the huge armada waiting for them.
"Well, isn't that a warm welcome." Hiccup said sarcastically.
Rayman took a good look at the soldiers and noticed that those weren't Vikings, those were robot pirates. "Wait a minute, I know those robots." After a few seconds of putting one and one together, he realized something. "Looks like my old enemy is here… and he probably met someone who we don't want him to meet."
Hiccup quickly put together a plan. "Okay, here is the thing. We will create a diversion by taking out those things on watch. Once you will have an opening, I trust you guys to take the rest of them down."
"Those things don't stand a chance! Right, Hookfang?" Snotlout asked his dragon proudly.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut smashed their heads into one another. It seemed to be their replacement for a high-five.
Astrid and Barbara gave him a nod, signaling they are ready for a fight.
"Okay then. Once you will attack, Rayman and I will free Fishlegs and Globox. With some luck, we might not need my dad's back up." Hiccup concluded before he turned to his dragon. "Time to disappear, Toothless." He told him and with a low growl, which was translated as an agreement, the dragon flew into the dark sky.
Toothless circled the island at full speed multiple times in order to give Hiccup and Rayman time to prepare. Hiccup unslung his shield and turned it into a crossbow, he got an arrow which he had on him and fired it at one of the robots. The arrow hit the robot in its body area, which caused sparkles to come out of it. Before any of the robots could have reacted to the event, another robot was taken down with an arrow to the leg. The robots scanned for the sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of the threat, but they saw nothing.
"Great aim, Hiccup." Rayman complemented. "Leave the others to me." He said before he started charging his fists. When Toothless circled at full speed again, Rayman released his charged attack at 2 other robots and they exploded.
At this point, the robots stopped looking and just fired their weapons in the hope of catching something. Hiccup blocked fires that came near Toothless with his shield before moving to the next part of the plan. "Okay, Bud. You know what to do." He told his dragon, which started flying upwards.
"What are we doing?" Rayman asked.
"Just wait…" Hiccup said. After a few seconds of silence the teen spoke again. "Toothless, plasma blast!" Toothless spun in place and started to dive towards the group of robots beneath them. As they got closer to them, Toothless fired a ball of purple fire out of his mouth, which obliterated all the robots on that side of the island.
The others saw the blast from afar and they took it as their signal to come in for their part of the plan.
Hiccup saw the others coming in and guided Toothless to search for the prison cells where Fishlegs and Globox apparently in. Rayman was a bit dazed behind. "This was probably the coolest thing I ever did in my life!" He said all happy and excited.
"You're welcome." Hiccup smiled at him and they headed to find their friends.
In the dungeon, Globox, Fishlegs and Meatlug all shared the same small cell. They were now untied and they just sat there not sure what to do. Meatlug was strong but the bars were built with a strong metal that will survive her strength and her fire, thus eliminating their chances of escaping.
Fishlegs hugged his dragon and it licked him back, they both tried to support each other in this situation; this was the first time they were prisoners.
For Globox, it wasn't a first. Even though he didn't really get captured as nearly as often as in the past, he had his fair share of experience; and he knew that Rayman will save him. He always did.
"You seem calm about all of this." Fishlegs suddenly spoke up. "How come you are not scared by the fact you were caught by a dangerous enemy?"
"I am scared…" He replied. "But I also know that Rayman will save me. He always does." Globox said in confidence. "He is my best friend, he saved me before, as well as my family, and I even saved him once." He told the teen.
"You have a family?" Fishlegs asked, curiosity building up in him.
"Wife and 600 children." He answered.
As they continued to talk back and forth about their lives, Rayman and Hiccup finally found their cell. "The rescue team is here!" Hiccup declared as Rayman jumped off of Toothless's back and charged his fist in order to break the gate to the cell.
Globox ran over to Rayman and picked him up in a hug. "I knew you will save us!"
"Don't I always, pal?" Rayman managed to cough out, being strangled by his large friend.
Fishlegs ran to Hiccup. "Thanks for saving us; sorry for having you come here." He said.
"Don't mind that." Hiccup told him. "We have the rest of the guys handling Dagur's defense, we just need to get out of here."
Rayman quickly climbed back on Toothless, behind Hiccup, while Fishlegs and Globox got on Meatlug's back and the group flew away.
When they got back to where the others were, the robots were all down and destroyed. The dragons did a good job dealing with them.
"Okay everyone, we got them out." Hiccup pointed to Fishlegs and Globox flying on Meatlug. "So, let's get out of…" But before Hiccup could have finished, a ball of fire hit Stormfly which caused her to fall to the ground.
"Stormfly!" Astrid screamed in terror at her damaged dragon after they landed. As she checked to see if the hit was conditional, the rest noticed something. 3 Berserkers came in flying on 3 identical dragons. All of them were blackish blue and had a big round head, but their bodies seemed to get smaller and smaller near the tail part. They were also covered in spikes and had a large amount of teeth. As if on quo, another group of robot pirates appeared with weapons aimed at the Berk Vikings.
"This is not good." Fishlegs said as all of the sudden, all the dragons that were still in the air started twitching because of a loud scream that came out of nowhere.
"What was that?" Barbara asked, and as if to answer her, another huge white dragon with red eyes and a shape similar to that of the smaller dragons appeared in the sky. On top of it were 2 figures, one was Razorbeard and the other was Dagur, laughing like mad.
"Guys, things have just now gone from bad, to worse." Hiccup announced.
Can't let this story go through without putting my favorite dragon from the show in this thing! It will get it's time in the spotlight next time which... I have no idea when that will be. I hope it will be in a week but, I really don't know at the moment. Hope for me that I'll make this deadline.
With that said, I hope you enjoyed and leave a review if you have something to say!
