Title: New Blood of a Lost Age

A Halo HTTYD Crossover

Isn't this exciting everyone? We'll I'd hate to ruin the excitement so straight into it I suppose. Enjoy!

The Master Chief, Cortana and Captain Lasky were standing in the control office for the hangar that the black dragon was being brought into, conversing about what to do with their visitor. A young marine ran into the office with a worried look on her face. She saluted as she addressed the Captain. "Sir we have a problem, the dragon has broken free of the control net and is running rampage!" The Chief and Captain Lasky looked up out of the window to the hangar floor below and sure enough, the black figure of a dragon was chasing around two marines at once before knocking them over and jumping on top of them. And that, for Lasky, was enough. He walked over to the back wall and hit a big red button, a door slid open revealing a small room with weapons crates in. He picked up a sniper rifle and a special white box. He then marched out of the door to the raised balcony looking over the hangar and clicked a white dart with a long surgical needle into the rifle and clicked the function wheel to 'dart' mode. He took aim and shouted to get the dragon's attention and buy the two marines being crushed by it some escape time. Once it looked over at him, he fired the rifle and hit the dragon in the side of its neck. It jumped back and froze right on the spot, shook its head and tried to chase down the two marines it had earlier. But as it started it started swaying from side to side as it tried to move forward. Then, its legs gave way under it and it crashed to the floor, rolling around hopelessly and moaning a bit before its body stilled and its eyes slowly closed shut.

Lasky walked back into the room and put away the rifle. He then walked back over to where he stood and studied the scene in the hangar with a neutral expression. The marine sergeant walked into the room and walked over to where the Chief and Lasky were standing.

"Sir, we are pleased to report there have been no severe casualties to our squads and no marines have had to be sent to the medics."

"Good, good." he replied from inside the cloud of thoughts in his head which now got denser. He pondered for a moment, huffing to himself before he finally reached a verdict. "Right, we need to clear up. Get the biggest metal animal crate we have down here and load that thing in. the last thing is to frighten the scientists in the laboratories so for God's sake get that out of sight. Keep it sedated and let the nerds perform some simple experiments so we know what we're up against, but they are not to seriously harm or endanger its life understand?" he glared at the sergeant.

"Y-yes sir" came a stuttered reply. Lasky proceeded to walk out of the room back to the bridge when the sergeants voice called out.

"B-but sir what scientists did you mean?"

Lasky continued walking but spoke as he went. "The ones who aren't busy".

The marine sergeant sighed and looked over at the scene out on the hangar floor. He looked back and smiled at the Chief who in return, stood where he was, like a statue.

Hiccup was pacing back and forth in the Great Hall while Stoick and Gobber we sat next to each other watching him. "Come on Hiccup sit down ya' gonna wear tha' floor out"

Hiccup looked at him and continued his nervous pacing. "We can't just let them take him and do whatever they like?! Imagine what poor Toothless is going through right now. He's probably alone and afraid and hungry... How could they possibly know what to feed him?"

Stoick sighed and got up from the table moving towards his worried son. He put a hand on Hiccup's shoulder and the boy immediately stopped and looked up at him with a sad look on his face. "Hiccup..." Stoick sighed again. "Until we know if there is something in there, an' how ta get at it, we can't do anythin'. You've seen for yourself how badly were were beaten' an' that was the entire fleet plus dragon power." Gobber got up as well and walked over to the pair to interject his point.

"And plus Hiccup if they wanted ta kill 'im they would have just shot him. You saw as well as I did tha' they lifted yer dragon from the waters. Maybe they don't want him dead after all or they woulda' done it by now hm?". Hiccup looked back and forth between his father and Gobber.

"Well that's not much better, if he is alive they probably want to experiment on him, torture him with things we've never seen before." Once he'd finished talking, he had an idea and ran out of the Great Hall leaving Stoick and Gobber looking at each other and then at the door he just used. "I'm tellin' ya Gobber there's somethin' wrong with that kid's mind."

Gobber fetched them both another tankard of Meade and then sat down next to Stoick and gave him a knowing look. "Nah, he's just gotta slow down and think things through".

Lasky was sat in his quarters looking out of the window with a bored expression, once again he couldn't bring himself to get some rest so he took to watching the Viking island with a telescope he 'borrowed' from his uncle when he was a teenager. A knock came at the door, he remotely opened it with the remote that he'd discovered a few days before. The Master Chief was at the threshold, Lasky beckoned for him to come in which the Chief did and Lasky closed the door behind him.

"Sir we've finished attaching the Pythons to the AA turrets on the hull, they are fully operational and ready for another attack."

"Good job" Lasky smiled.

"And sir I was asked to give these charts to you by the science department studying the dragon we captured earlier. They show brain patterns, physical characteristics and neural responses."

Lasky took particular attention to the last one. "Incredible." he whispered.

Cortana's voice sounded out from where the Chief stood. "I know, I thought the same. His reflexes are some of the fastest we've ever seen. In fact, the only reflexes faster are those of a Spartan. Also his skeletal structure suggests that dragons are closely linked to some well known bird species of the modern era."

Lasky looked back at the thin sheets of blue plastic. This dragon was very...surprising to say the least. But before he could divulge his thoughts an alarm sounded and the Chief was out of the room in a flash. The screen in Lasky's quarters activated and showed a single dragon with two figures on its back.

"Hiccup I still can't believe you talked me into this it's late at night why are you trying to get into that thing?" Astrid asked, shivering from the cold.

"Astrid I have to get Toothless back he's my best friend!" Hiccup replied with a sad expression written all over his face, this sad expression wove itself into his voice as well. Astrid scoffed at his back and hugged Stormfly for warmth. They gently flew closer to the thing in the ocean. However he didn't notice the silhouette of the single AA turret that had a bullseye aim on him. Hiccup thought he heard a bang in the distance but before he could react a massive net flying fast hit him off Stormfly's back. Astrid screamed his name and looked down ad the water broke his fall. She also saw three flying things similar to the ones that picked up Toothless. They had their searchlights trained on the net that held Hiccup. One Falcon flew over and hooked the net while the other two hovered, lighting the net. Soon they flew back over to the other side of the thing the way they had done previously with Toothless. Astrid knew she had to get help, she just hoped they would look after Hiccup.

Well there, another day, another chapter. You know I feel this story is getting a little better with every chapter I write so fingers crossed when we get to chapter one hundred!

Anyways thanks for reading and please leave a review or suggestion.

Until the Next Time.
