Gordon519: Thank you, I try.

KingPlasma: Is Anti-Plasma like a bad alter ego or something? Lol. Yeah, sorry. I like leaving you in suspense, and I probably won't stop andy time soon... (And yes, this is based off of the movies, so it does have lots of stuff similar or alike.)

Jewel Moonstone: Yay! Action! More this chappie, too! :D Yeah, I'm sorry about the short chapters... I'll try to make them longer...

I listened to the complete soundtrack of HTTYD and HTTYD 2 while I was writing these last few chapters...XD

Chapter 8

Natasha ducked, covering her head, even though she knew it would be useless.

She felt something over her, and she opened her eyes to see black... not quite what she had expected. She took slow, deep breaths, and held them for as long as she could-basic survival training.

Her eyes roved around, searching for something to get her out of there. She saw a welcome sight, as her eyes adjusted to the dark: scales, and bright green dragon eyes, looking at her.

Brown eyes met green. Erika turned her head, and a loud banshee scream erupted from her mouth, and the last thing Natasha saw before closing her eyes again was a flash of blue and purple...

"NO!" yelled Clint, running over and pounding on the ice. Cap joined in, hacking at it with his sheild. Loki was chuckling, and Falcon and Spidey could just stare. Loki picked up his staf.

The archer put his forehead on the ice, tears starting to leak between his eyelids. "Natasha..." he whispered. He perked up when he heard a familiar banshee scream, and the ice started glowing blue, getting brighter every second.

He gasped, pulling back just in the nick of time; because the ice exploded not seconds later, to reveal a perfectly fine Natasha and a glowing Erika. She roared furiously, and jumped onto an ice spike.

"Is she-" started Spidey.

"Challenging it..." trailed off Natasha.

Erika leapt onto Natasha without a second thought. All she was thinking was that she would have a chance to redeem herself. So the dragon covered the assasin, taking the ice instead. There was a frosty breath from below. She felt Natasha gasp, and their eyes met.

The dragon girl was angry, to say the least. She let the fury burn inside her, and she felt it on her skin, buring through her scales. She opened her mouth, screaming in rage, and the rage and fire built inside of her until she let loose the biggest fireball she had ever done before.

Searing, hot pain erupted down her back, but it felt good. She felt powerful. Nothing ever hurt her friends, her only family, and got away with it. Not on her watch. So, still screaming with rage and pain, a new Alpha was born.

The ice exploded, leaving her furious and growling. She turned to Natasha. She was staring at her back, but seemed to be alright. Erika turned to her back, and saw the bright, plasma blue running down it. She leapt onto an ice spike, staring down the huge Bewilderdeath.

"HOW DARE YOU!" she roared furiously.

The Alpha looked affronted. "How dare YOU! Talking to an Alpha like that."

"I'LL TALK TO YOU ANY WAY I WANT!" she screamed.

"What are you gonna do, little Night Fury?"

Erika thought for a moment. She flicked her gaze up to the tusked Alpha. "I challenge you for right of Alpha!"

The Bewilderdeath glared at her, rearing back his head. She shot a plasma blast, knocking his head back and to the side. She then let loose a torrent of plasma, hitting him with force and accuracy.

The tusked Alpha swung his head, shattering the spike she had landed on, causing her to leap onto another. The shards cut into her right tailfin, ripping part of it. Erika had so much adrinalene running through her veins, she couldn't feel it if she tried. She just kept blasting it with fire, getting angrier and angrier with every blast. The Alpha started losing control over the other dragons.

Dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors started gliding past the Alpha. She roared furiously again, and the other dragons began shooting their own fire at it, covering his face in smoke. Hulk laughed gleefully, pounding on the thing's head. Erika thought of the many crimes the Alpha had commited, and began getting angry again. A blast began supercharging in her maw. She let it charge until it was unbearable, and let it fly.

The blue fire slammed into his tusk, and he screamed in pain and outrage as it flew off and landed on the beach.

"THAT'S FOR THOR!" Erika roared.

The former Alpha moaned, shrinking away...but then he pinned her with a glare. "This isn't over." He spread his wings. "I still have fire!"

Erika smirked, leaping down from the ice and scooping Natasha up onto her back. "Very well, a fight to the death."

The Alpha chuckled, pumping his wings and hovering. Erika crouched, then sprung into the air. Natasha gripped the small spines on her back tightly. The Night Fury zoomed into the clouds, turning her still-glowing back away from the hulking dragon. She circled it. the Black Widow leaned down and whispered in her ear.

Erika gave a nod, gliding toward the Bewilderdeath. The huge dragon himself was spinning, utterly confused at where she was. Erika blasted the back of his head, then, as he turned, circled around to the back again. She did this several times, exhausting it. But he was getting fed up with her sneaking around.

So the former Alpha spun, blowing fire in huge loops and circles, and Erika had to dodge each one... that was when she felt the searing pain in her tail, and noticed that she was less manuverable. She glanced at her right tailfin, to see a big, jagged chunk missing from it.

She gulped, dodging another fire loop by a hair. Natasha dropped a few grenades onto the dragon's head, bringing it's attention to the duo. Then Erika dived, shrieking. The huge dragon, angry and tired, was too confused to realize their plan. He narrowed his eyes, diving after them. He began charging up fire, ready to finish them off once and for all.

Erika streaked toward the ground, speeding up every second. She felt the Bewilderdeath behind her beginning to breath fire. Natasha pulled the keys out of another few grenades, ready to throw. "NOW!" she yelled. Erika spun in the air, and shot the fire she had been charging into his mouth at the same time Natasha threw the grenades.

He roared in pain and fury as the fire exploded inside of him, and the shrapnel from the grenades dug into his lungs. He flung out his wings when he saw how close he was to the ground in a desperate last attempt to stop himself from dying. It was no use. He exploded in a firey inferno, leaving Erika the new Alpha.

Erika dodged the spikes on his back, weaving through it; a firey version of Russian Roulette. The broken tailfin was apprehending her chances of survival, though. The huge, boulder-like tail swung toward them. She tried desperately to dodge, but she knew it was futile. So, with a pained roar, she barrel rolled, spining Natasha over the tail, off of her back, and away from the flames in a last attempt to save her teammate's life. Erika slammed full-force into the tail, was knocked unconscious, and fell into the flames.

To kill Erika or not to kill Erika? That is the question... Just kidding! ;) I'm not gonna kill her.

Any silly pranks you want the Avengers to do with Erika or against her? I'm gonna put a silly end chapter for lolz. XD Just 'cause I had a few suggestions and ideas... so any more folks?

R&R!
