Okay, my SECOND update today. Enjoy chapter 6! Shout-outs:
DragonDreamer1011: Yup. Nothing more to be said. :)
Arcaane: Yeah! Me too! I like mixing peril and a little bit of humor in all of my fanfictions, even if it's just one line. :) I loved it, and I'm glad you did, too! XD!
Shadowmage97: Well, that's what you get having me as your author! LOL! :D Yeah, funny, I had someone say almost the same thing. It's like, when someone tells me to "Update Soon" the next day it's like, twenty chapters and they're like "WHOA!" And I'm like "WHOO!" :D Seriously, though, I love updating. It makes me feel productive. :D
midnightsky0612: Ugh, I know what you mean! I just want to take Alvin, and throw him in prison for life. And even then it isn't enough punishment! I'm excited for seasons 3 and 4 of Dreamworks Dragons. (SPOILERS for the season final of season 2) Can't wait to see what the alliance between Berkians and Outcasts is like. Should be pretty interesting.
AnimeAngel: Exactly! Astrid, why did you give them permission? WHY!? :D LOL! I have an e-basement, only it's where I plot the stories of all my fanfictions. (hehehehehe) MY EVIL LAIR! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No, I also have a little fridge with some soda in it. Well, my Changewing and I are going to plot some more danger. Have fun with your Scauldron! I forgot to ask...what did you name him/her?
xFaerieValkyriex: Where did you find that!? I NEED TO KNOW! You don't have to tell me, though, if you don't want to. I'll just send my army of Fireworms onto ya. Have a nice day! :D
Enjoy chapter 6! Free virtual Gronckle eggs! (watch out for when they explode. XD)
"Hey, Alvin," said Hiccup. "We were just talking about you! Hey, remember that time I flew over the island and...you tried to kill me? Me too! So why don't you just let us go?"
"Your tricks aren't going to work on me this time, boy," said Alvin.
"Oh, okay," said Hiccup. "Well, it can't hurt to try. Look over there, a dragon!" he exclaimed, pointing over Alvin's shoulder.
"Nice try," said Alvin.
Hiccup frowned. "No, seriously, a dragon."
Alvin was about to laugh when Stormfly ran forward and knocked into the Outcast.
"I told you it was a dragon," said Hiccup flatly. There was no expression behind the words he spoke, so Astrid couldn't tell if he were angry, disappointed, or just irritated.
"You fiendishly clever Hooligan!" shouted Alvin. "I'll kill you!"
Alvin got to his feet and drew his sword. He didn't even hesitate as he charged. Hiccup and the others dodged out of the way.
"Call your dragons!" Hiccup ordered.
They did so, calling out "BARF! BELCH! HOOKFANG! MEATLUNG!" and of course Toothless and Stormfly were already there. The other dragons arrived, but so did more Outcasts. The dragons and their riders were outnumbered, they knew it, but that didn't make them give up. The dragons landed beside each rider, and Outcasts swarmed in, closing all way of escape. Some of them had bola-launchers, excluding any chance of escape by flight until they were disabled.
"What do we do?" asked Astrid. "We're surrounded."
Hiccup turned and smiled. His emerald green eyes were wild as the sun rose, indicating that morning had arrived. "Got a sword I can borrow?" he asked.
Snotlout tossed him one (since when did he keep a spare sword and where he kept it, no one knew). It was lightweight enough, but he would be fighting with his right hand, since there was no way he was using his left one.
"Surrender, Hiccup, and we might consider sparing you and your little friends," said Alvin, chuckling annoyingly.
"Surrender?" asked Hiccup. He shook his head. "Nope. Last thing we're gonna do."
He turned back to his friends and nodded. Then, they drew their weapons, and charged at the Outcasts.
Of course, it was pretty insane, what with tons of Outcast soldiers against six Berkian youths and their dragons, there was a lot going on. It was insane by way of a lot of things.
"I could have broken either arm!" Hiccup complained while parrying lazily at an Outcast. "But noooooo. I had to break the left one."
"Not my fault you're left handed," said Astrid, fending off an Outcast.
"I'm not blaming you, Astrid, I am blaming me," said Hiccup, clumsily blocking a blow. "AGH!" he shouted. "WHY...CAN'T...I...USE...MY...RIGHT...HAND!?" Between every word, he swiped at Outcasts, although they dodged it easily, it kept them at least a distance.
"You're doing just fine by me!" said Astrid.
"Splendid!" said Hiccup, dodging a blow from an Outcast. "I am just fine!"
Astrid couldn't tell if he was being serious or sarcastic. The flat tone of his voice disabled the capability.
Alvin came up on Hiccup, and Hiccup met him head on, although he was no match for the Outcast. Alvin easily swung the sword out of Hiccup's grip. Hiccup looked at his empty hand and offered an embarrassed smile.
"Two out of three?" he offered.
Alvin lunged. Hiccup dove out of the way and regained his weapon just in time to fight back against the Outcast. The grip on his sword was now so tight his knuckles were white.
"You cannot defeat me, boy!" said Alvin. "None of you, or your precious little dragons can!"
"Well, not gonna stop me from trying," said Hiccup.
Toothless joined in helping Hiccup take Alvin down while also managing to keep any other Outcasts that tried to approach away. Hiccup wasn't really even doing half-bad, considering the fact he had a broken limb and was fighting with the hand he wasn't used to.
Fishlegs was doing great with his Gronckle Iron sword. Meatlung was whacking Outcasts away with her tail, using it like a bludgeon. Snotlout and Hookfang were fighting side by side, taking out Outcast soldiers with flying colors. Ruffnut and Tuffnut weren't doing too bad either. Astrid fought alongside Stormfly, the Nadder blaring spikes and fire whenever Alvin's men got close.
And then there were Hiccup and Toothless. Toothless fought like a shadow; you didn't see it coming, and then BOOM there it was. Hiccup fought like a eighteen year old boy with a broken arm and one leg. Well, technically he was, but it showed painfully.
But he was at least keeping himself guarded so he didn't get severed by Alvin.
All in all, Astrid and the others were pretty impressed by their doings. Nothing like battling the Outcasts to get you stared in the morning.
Berk was going to have to wait. The Outcasts with bola launchers began firing at the dragons, trying to capture the reptiles. The dragons were pretty good at dodging bolas. Or, at least they would have been, if they hadn't been on the ground, fighting Outcasts, and protecting their masters.
Hiccup's mind was racing. They needed a plan. A plan to get rid of the bola launchers and the Outcasts, and get out of there alive.
"Give it up, Hooligan!" Alvin hissed at Hiccup. "You Berkians are no match!"
Hiccup suddenly paused, and then he grinned madly as he continued to fight. Alvin had unintentionally said something brilliant. Something that would get his friends and their dragons out.
Or...at least you'll get out of here. If I can't, I can't, he remembered what he said to Toothless in the cell just a little while ago. Now it was coming to just that. He just needed to get the others and their dragons away...
He took his eyes off the battle too long. Alvin swung the blade out of Hiccup's hands, and then aimed the sword at his chest. Then Alvin hesitated.
"BERKIANS!" he shouted. The riders stopped fighting and turned to Alvin. Astrid gasped and raced forward, but Snotlout held her back. "Drop your weapons!" Alvin ordered. "Or say goodbye to your heir!"
"HICCUP!" shouted Astrid.
Hiccup turned to her, and actually smiled. And then, he broke out laughing. The Outcasts stopped what they were doing and stared.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY!?" shouted Alvin.
"Sorry, just the fact that you are totally not expecting," said Hiccup, "THIS!"
