Title: New Blood of a Lost Age
A Halo HTTYD Crossover
How's everyone everywhere? Good? Awesome, thanks to those who have reviewed so far, they are: Guest, Ageiko and Dominic (Guest). Also to Raggedcozy for adding the story to both their follow and favourite list. Your support is very well appreciated. Chapter six already...how did that happen? Ok I know it's not the best you've ever read on this website but I like it. Anyways, that's enough of me, here's the next chapter.
And again, the SEAMAX Sabre II is the second generation Navy variant of the Sabre. Why the navy I have no idea...
After ten minutes of constant attack, Stoick noticed something wrong with the object in the sea. He held up a closed fist, a shout of cease fire echoed throughout the boats, their catapults and archers stopped. The dragons in the air stopped their dive-bombing as well. Stoick motioned for Hiccup to come to him, Toothless swooped down to the ship Stoick was on and landed gracefully beside him. Hiccup slid off the saddle and walked over to his father, patting Toothless' head as he went by.
"Hiccup, there's somethin' wrong with this thing" he gestured to the grey object in the sea.
"Yeah dad I saw it too. You didn't have much luck either I guess, the dragon's fire hasn't done anything. There's no flames, no burnt patches, in fact the metal is hardly warm at all."
A loud clunk came from the ship, similar to the one Hiccup heard a couple days ago when they tried to investigate. All eyes fell onto the object.
"Son, I need you to be careful up there, you've got a lot a dragons up there lad." Stoick looked up to the cloud of dragons circling above above the Viking ships.
Don't worry dad, we'll be careful, besides this this thing hasn't done any-" Hiccup was interrupted by Gobber who was hobbling over.
"I don't mean ta interrupt your father son chat but what in the name of Odin is that?" He pointed is hammer attachment at the shape in the sky.
"Diamond leader, this is unit 02, all Falcon weapons are fully operational, forward Gatling cannons have been commissioned for use. All units have assumed Diamond 9 strike formation and ready at your command"
"Copy that. All units this is Diamond leader, commencing gatling run on Viking craft over" All the units confirmed the manoeuvre and followed their leader as they looped around the front of the Indigo Terra. As soon as they came within range of the Viking ships, their Gatling cannons mounted under the chin of the Falcons spun to life, firing bursts of shells into three Viking ships, they saw the terrified men jump out of their sinking vessels. The diamond formation flew behind the Indigo Terra back round to the other side. Hiccup saw the destruction of the Viking ships from the sky, he patted Toothless' head again and clicked his tail fin into place, Toothless swooped down above the unsuspecting formation. He spat a bolt of fire at a Falcon in the formation, it's engines exploded and it dropped out of the formation into the sea.
"Diamond leader this is unit 02, Diamond 8 has been hit. A rescue mission will commence after we drive off the enemy. Suggest formation brake and start individual attack runs on Viking vessels."
"Confirmed. This is Diamond leader, all units break formation and start on your own runs on the ships, good luck all." the squad leader spoke in the communicator and all the remaining Falcons were ready. The diamond shape broke up into a sort of flower shape for a second or two. This took Hiccup by surprise which gave an advantage to the two Falcons that flew off sideways because they circled around the Indigo Terra in opposite directions and commenced another run on the Viking ships, sinking two more. The other dragon riders snapped out of their trance and sprung into action by chasing off the other Falcons that had split up. The machine gun turrets mounted on the sides of the Falcons forcing the dragon riders chasing them to keep their distance for fear of getting hit by something they couldn't see. Toothless however was extremely agile, so he could spin and dodge the streams of metal coming towards him, he wasn't going to make the same mistake as last time. Flying high above the scene so he could see what was happening, Hiccup frowned. He could see the wreckage of many Viking ships and the tiny figures of the Vikings pulling their comrades out of the freezing waters of Berk. He could also see the smoking wreckage of one of the flying things the apparent enemy was using and the dragon riders being fended off by the remaining defenders. He could just about hear the clunk that sounded out from the crashed object. He looked closer and he could see something was happening. Six strange boxes on stands were rising up out of the thing's top side.
Hiccup frowned. "That can't be good" he said. Just as he finished the six boxes launched a volley of yet more flying objects. Except these ones had a yellow flame at the back and somehow possessed the ability to chase the dragons in the sky. At that moment a Monstrous Nightmare shot past him and he could just make out the cry for help coming from the Viking on its back. However, before Toothless could launch after the distressed Viking one of the small flying things that could chase people flew past closing in on its target. Hiccup couldn't watch, but had no choice. As the thing hit home on its target, the Monstrous Nightmare and its Viking were engulfed in a massive explosion. Hiccup could here the terrible screams of the dragon and its rider as they were both incinerated together. When the smoke cleared, the only evidence of there ever being a dragon and its rider there was a cloud of black smoke that was wafted away by the gentle sea breeze. Hiccup turned around and looked down on the object sitting in the water, whatever it was it was frighteningly powerful. But then again, so was Toothless. Hiccup clicked the tail fin into the correct position and Toothless dived down towards the object with tremendous speed. The Night Fury's signature whistle was heard and soon followed a large explosion with a blue shockwave.
"Sir the last two hits on the hull are very close to the solar generators" a naval science officer who was currently manning the damage report station announced. Captain Lasky looked at the screen.
"Damn" he stated before quickly picking up his communicator. "Fireteam Blue Jay this is Lasky, scramble two SEAMAX Sabre II s armed with the Python immediately. Target is a black dragon, take extreme caution as we do not know the full manoeuvrability of it, and feel free to help the Falcons out there. Remaining Falcons, we're sending two Sabres to lighten the load off your backs. They're going to hit the black dragon so prepare for a recovery mission if necessary."
Back outside, Hiccup felt as though he was making good progress on the thing in the ocean, well, better progress than the Vikings in the water. But just when Hiccup got too confident, two larger and noisier shapes flew over him, surprising Toothless. These were different to the other ones. They were faster, more agile and had blue flames coming out the back of them. The shapes were perfectly synchronized with each other, mirroring the other perfectly. They flew around the bemused dragons and their riders, literally flying circles around them and firing occasionally. Even Toothless had a hard job keeping up with them when they flipped and rolled around him. Just as the two thought they were catching up with one of the fast objects, a loud crack filled the air. The force of the knock hit Toothless from under Hiccup and broke the tether and the clip that was still attached to his artificial leg. He could see his best friend was caught in some kind of net that must have come from those fast things.
"Hiccup!" Astrid screamed as Stormfly swooped down to catch him before he hit the water. Hiccup held onto the dragon firmly.
"No! We have to go back for Toothless!" he shouted over to Astrid.
"Hiccup we can't go back for him not when those things are still around. Look" she gestured down to the water where the surviving ships of the utterly battered Viking fleet that was retreating the way it came. "Don't worry Hiccup, we'll be back for him." she spoke comfortingly to him. He looked back around to the place where Toothless fell. He could see the net with the dragon in sinking. Above it, four of the green things hovered over the net. He could just see four wires connected to the net strings. They slowly lifted the net with Toothless in up out of the water and slowly made their way back over the crashed thing. As for the grey things that stole his best friend from right under him, they were no where to be seen.
Well that's it! That was indeed a long chapter and it pretty much went the way I wanted it to (that must be the first time). What will happen next? I'm not sure myself, if you have any suggestions then please leave them in a review, thanks. :)
Until the next time...
