Title: New Blood of a Lost Age

A Halo HTTYD Crossover

So how's everyone doing? That's enough back to me... Anyways I hope you are enjoying the story so far. It's great I've got the holidays to dedicate to writing this, I was thinking of writing it for a few months but I never bothered...Until Now! Here's the next chapter; knock yourself out.

Stoick the Vast was sat in the great hall on Berk. He was where he usually was at this time of day, sat next to Gobber half way down his third tankard of plonk. It really was a nice little habit for him. Get up. Shout some things. Make people do stuff. Take it out on Gobber later. The only hiccup in his days was Hiccup, not that he minded. Okay so he got in the way most of the time and people scowled at him. But with the dragons around he was respected more and was causing problems for the threats to Berk rather than Stoick now which was a definite plus. But, Hiccup was sat in his room next to his wounded dragon. That lead him to another thought. What was he going to do about the object that crashed in Berk's waters. In HIS waters. After a lot of thinking a thought popped into his head.

"Hey Gobber, what ya think about sendin' a dragon squad at tha' thing in the water?" he asked.

"I dunno Stoick, I mean, look a' what happened to Toothless... that was just one hit from those things out of...lots..."

"You're right, there's gotta be a way to get in ta tha' thing."

"Stoick. Why don' we send the forces in the boats, and get the dragons ta attack from the top? I mean, it can't be that well defended can it?" Gobber sighed. For a minute Stoick stared at the wall opposite him, eyes wide open.

"Ya know that might just work" Stoick stroked his enormous beard. Standing up, the villagers currently sat at the tables nearby looked over to him. "People. Prepare your weapons and tell your families to put dinner on. We are going to mount an attack on the thing floating in our waters." The villagers looked at each other with worried expressions, had Stoick really gone mad!? "I know what you're thinking, we've all seen what happened to Toothless, but something has to be done before worse happens." The villagers' expressions relaxed, of course Stoick hadn't gone mad, he was just confident that they could do anything, they were Vikings after all.

Hiccup was where he had been for the past day, sat on the floor next to Toothless, who was just about awake. Hiccup felt the same way himself. If there was something he had learnt about his room, it was that the floor is really uncomfortable, and cold too. But then again Toothless needed the bed more than he did as Toothless' bed was out of action after a bit of rough and tumble with said dragon went a bit wrong and the corner of Hiccup's room became scorched. Hiccup was about to doze off again when Astrid burst through the door with a worried look. Both Hiccup and Toothless jumped, but Toothless quickly moaned and laid his head down while Hiccup looked towards Astrid.

"Astrid? What are you doing here? What's going on and why are you looking at me like that?" Hiccup asked, looking slightly worried himself.

"HiccupyougottahelpStoick'sgoingmentalandisgoingto attackthethinginthewaterpleasedosomething"

"Whoa whoa whoa" Hiccup interrupted her extremely fast talking. Toothless picked his head up and gave Hiccup a confused look, before putting it back down to try and get some sleep again. "Slow down, let's try again shall we?"

"Stoick's going mental Hiccup. He's getting the warships ready for an attack on the thing in the sea. I was about to warn him of the arrows they were shooting at us but just as I got there he stormed out of the hall with dozens of Vikings going to their homes to get their weapons. They say they will be ready for their attack early tomorrow morning."

"Astrid, I know I try to talk my dad out of most of his crazy plans, but even if I did, I think Toothless wants to give them something in return and to be honest, I'm small and weak but I want to have a serious talk with whoever did that to him" he gestured to Toothless.

Astrid was horrified, what was wrong with him today? "Hiccup what is wrong with you? Can't you see what happened to Toothless. If we try to attack it, our fine little assault will end up with the massacre of the entire village!"

"That's why we're going early in the morning to take them by surprise. Now please, I need some sleep, I think Toothless will be okay to come along tomorrow" he hugged Toothless' big head "He'll just have to be careful of his leg."

"Captain, you're not going to like this, at all" Cortana sounded from the Chief who was, once again, standing there, facing forwards, waiting for his orders like a good soldier would.

Captain Lasky walked over. "What is it?"

"I've been studying the village on the nearest island using the outer hull's cameras". Lasky looked surprised. "Okay I like studying the environment around us. Anyway, I've recently been studying the port on the island and it appears that they have been stocking up their longships. My best guess is they're preparing an assault on the Indigo Terra."

"Pah! Trying not to sound blunt but ah...so what? Lasky replied, his usual grin was back on his face.

"Well sir, although yes it is unlikely that a Viking attack will halt operations here, I think it would pay to be aware of the fact that we have struck one of their own and they will probably want revenge, not to mention the dragons will be around as well."

Nodding, Lasky turned back towards the view screen on the bridge and started talking into his comm unit. "All personnel this is Captain Lasky. At the current time we are unsure of the intentions of the Viking tribe that attacked the ship, we must therefore assume" he turned to the Chief. "That their increased movements are indeed building up to an attack. Spartan squads will need to be on full alert all the time for the next week. We must continue working on the power situation, so apart from the marine squads already backing up the Spartans all marine squads are to be posted around the science department should the hull be breached. Also beware that the Vikings may not be the only ones out there. We believe that these Vikings are also harbouring mythological dragons and all evidence suggests that these were the cause for the recent attack. I want anti air batteries online and an EMP device ready if we are too crowded. Please beware of a black dragon which has similar manoeuvres as modern jets. IT's attack is by far the most powerful of all, extreme caution is advised if engaging this dragon. That is all."

Lasky turned around and faced the crew of the bridge which had stopped their tasks to watch him make his speech. "Right everyone" he spoke "It's showtime!"

That's the end of it for now. It's the longest chapter and my second today. And on that bombshell, I'll see you next time. Byebye.
