Please review! I also again thank ! Thanks again for the amazing ideas and help! :)
Last time...
"Ironclad, get to Astrid and get her out of here! I got this!" I yelled. Ironclad then stood up and ran to Astrid.
"The showdown that was always meant to be...any last words Hiccup?" Corey taunted.
I gritted my teeth "I am not going to loose, you are" I said.
Corey then threw his head back and laughed "You are too weak Hiccup! Once I finish you and take care of Ironclad and your little dragons, me and Astridd are going to have a LOT more fun"
I yelled and charged.
On with the story!
Ironclad's POV
I knocked on the door way 5 times in a rhythm. On the last 'beat' Black Ice released a large green plasma blast knocking the large door off its hinges.
I then saw Corey, the evil pig himself, standing over a girl I assumed to be Astrid. Blade was standing up in the corner growling. Toothless and Black Ice were crouching, ready to fight.
My vision centered on Astrid. Her hair was in tangles, matted to her face with sweat and..blood. There were multiple tears in her clothes and cuts and bruises all on her body. She was chained to the floor, and laying down on the cold, hard, stone with a distant look in her eye.
She looked like...her.
Instead of rich auburn hair and sparkling hazel eyes, there was blonde hair and grey eyes. There was no three claw scar on her right cheek or birthmark on her forearm.
But gods...why did she have to look like her. I was instantly thrown back to that island. Her laugh filled my ears, her smile, the way she made his heart skip a beat every time he saw her.
The tortured expression on her face...no... I couldn't let Hiccup live through that pain. I would not let this happen again.
I snapped out of my own world and focused of Corey.
"Ahh Hiccup. So nice of you to join us. Me and Astrid have been doing LOTS of fun things together" Corey sneered.
"And Ironclad! How good to see you. Tell me how is Calypso?" Corey said, smiling sadistically.
I was then filled with an all consuming rage and fire and charged, swinging my sword.
How dare that villain say her name!
How dare his evil lips say her beautiful name! After what he did!
"DON'T" I yelled clashing swords with Corey.
"EVER" I yelled pushing Corey away with his sword.
"SAY"
I sashed at Corey again.
"HER"
Corey dodged and readied his next attack.
"NAME!"
I then grabbed a pair of throwing knives.
"YOU"
I threw both at Corey.
"SWINE!" Corey dodged one of the knives while the other grazed his arm drawing some blood.
Corey grabbed his arm, looking at Ironclad with hatred.
"Blade! Attack!" he yelled.
Blade didn't attack Ironclad.
"Blade!" Corey yelled turning around. I smirked.
Toothless and Black Ice had taken advantage of the situation, attacking Bladerunner.
Toothless and Black Ice were flanking each other, closing in on Blade. Toothless then shot at Blade, missing. Blade had dodged the attack but didn't notice that Black Ice had maneuvered around to his blind spot.
The Star Chaser dragon then struck the back of the Exterminator's neck. The Paralysis saliva in Black Ice's mouth immobilized Blade. The dragon fell to the ground in defeat.
I could hear what Black Ice was thinking. "This is for everything you have done to my rider! How dare you cause him such pain!"
"Blade!" Corey yelled turning back to me.
"You will pay for what your dragon did" he growled.
"And you are going to pay for your crimes" I said coldly.
I then swung at Corey and the fight began.
I saw the sadistic grin on his face, twisting his features. It was the same face he had...when... The pain in my heart flared up at that sight. It felt like an old wound had reopened inside me.
"You know how she called for you. Said your name, over, and over. It was sickening" Corey sneered.
I yelled and struck harder. He was going to pay! He was going to pay for what he did!
I saw Hiccup run to where we were fighting. He raised his swords blocking a sneak attack from Corey I hadn't seen coming and pushing me out of the way, saving my life.
My mind was elsewhere I had let my opponent almost get the upper hand.
"Oh Hiccup, always trying to be the Hero." Corey said, regaining his battle stance.
"Lets finish this" Hiccup said raising my swords.
"Ironclad, get to Astrid and get her out of here! I got this!" Hiccup yelled. I then stood up and ran to Astrid.
Hiccup's POV
I swung my sword's at Corey. He dodged and retaliated with his own attack. I lifted my swords, crossing them to block the attack. Corey then jumped back and swung his legs to try and trip me up.
I jumped and, while I was landing swung my swords at Corey who tumbled out of the way.
Corey then pulls out another small knife and throws it at me. I duck, and charge at Corey. He then steps to the side, swinging at me.
I then purposely fall to the floor and roll out of the way, then instantly popping back up and raising my swords.
Ironclad's POV
I reached Astrid, with Toothless standing protectively over her. Toothless saw me and moved aside to let me help her.
She looked up at me and I saw the scars Corey had given her. Gods...she reminded me so much of Calypso.
*FLASHBACK*
"Come on Ironclad!" Hiccup said.
"I'm coming, I'm coming" I said hopping off Black Ice.
"You know, I am the one you asked for help here" I said.
"Yeah, yeah. Come on! I heard this island is the best place to get the stuff we need for the forge on my island." Hiccup said.
"And they are ok with Dragons?" I said, walking beside him.
"Of course! I went to this island a while back, before I met any of the riders" Hiccup said.
"And why aren't they helping you out?" I said.
"Cause, I gave them some time off to visit their homes" Hiccup said. I grumbled and we walked into the town's forge.
"Just one second" I heard a girl say from somewhere in the shop.
"You are just lucky I owe you, I would rather be on my island with Ice" I said.
Hiccup rolled his eyes "You know its not just cause you owe me."
"Yeah, yeah keep telling yourself that dragon boy" I said.
"Hello, what do you boys need?" the girl then stepped out from a back part of the shop, wiping her hands, taking off an apron and walking up to us.
She had rich auburn hair and sparkling hazel eyes. There was a three claw scar on her right cheek & she had a birthmark on her forearm.
Her clothing was a long sleeved brown tunic, metal arm guards, metal chest guard, that covered the top half of her body. She had on black pants with spikes down the side with a black leather skirt. She wore brown leather knee high boots, brown fingerless gloves with spikes over the knuckles and a hair cloth holding her hair back.
I felt the entire world melt away, except for her.
"Oh, Hey Hiccup? Why are you back?" she said. He voice sounded like a bell.
"Just here for some tools. Can you spare any? I can make a couple if you allow me too with some scrap metal" Hiccup said.
"Sure thing. I'll ask my dad first but I can't see why not. We still owe you for training that Monstrous Nightmare and stopping him from attacking the village" she said.
"Ok thanks" Hiccup said.
"Do you need anything?"she asked.
"I...I...um...you're..." I couldn't speak, my mouth wasn't working!
"Are you ok?" she asked wary.
"I..duh...umm" was all I was able to get out.
Hiccup laughed "Are you ok, man?"
"I'm...Ironclad" I said.
"And he speaks!" she yelled "I'm Calypso by the way"
"That's...that is a nice..nice name" I said.
Stupid! Stupid! Why did I say that!
"Um thanks?" Calypso said, then turning back to Hiccup.
"I'll just go ask my dad if we can get you those parts" Calypso said, walking out.
"Can I trust you two not to destroy the place?" she said, before leaving.
"We will be fine" Hiccup said.
Once she was gone, I felt then entire half of my body turn to jelly.
"Are you ok? I have never seen you act like that" Hiccup said.
"She...who is she?" I said.
"Well her name is Calypso. She works with her dad in the forge. I think she is about your age" Hiccup said.
"She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen" I said.
Hiccup stated at me, eyes wide with shock.
"Oh my! By Odin's Beard! Your in love! I never thought I would see the day!" Hiccup yelled.
"I'm...she" I still couldn't speak.
"Oh Thor All Mighty!" Hiccup yelled.
"Shut up!" I said.
Hiccup was laughing his head off.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
I snapped back to reality, only a few seconds had passing. I looked over Astrid's wounds, they were bad. But first things first, I need to get her out of those cuffs.
"Who...who are you?" she said weakly.
"Ironclad. I'm an old friend of Hiccup's." I said, taking my sword out and looking over the cuffs, trying to find the weak spot.
"Where...where is Hiccup?" she said.
I didn't know if I should answer.
"He is fine" I said.
I then found the weak spot and carefully moved her hands and body away.
"I'm going to get you out of these chains. Whatever you do, don't move" I said, standing up.
She nodded. I then raised my sword and struck at the chain. I hit the same spot three times, and it finally broke.
She looked up at me with joy..gods why did she have to look like her!
*FLASHBACK*
I was sitting with Calypso on the beach. He hand woven with mine.
"Do you remember when we met?" she asked.
"Of course. I thought you were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen." I said "I couldn't speak or really think."
She laughed "Yeah, no offense but I thought you were hit on the head with a rock...multiple times."
I rolled my eyes.
"But you were cute." Calypso said.
"Really?" I said jokingly.
"Really. I mean why else would I be here?" she joked.
"Well...maybe we can be like this forever" I said, lovingly.
"What are you talking about?" she said.
"I got the contract. The town elders and your parents are drawing it up now. I asked Hiccup to be my representative in the meetings, because I wanted to tell you first. That's why I have been working so hard the past couple months." I said.
"Thats...oh my...really?" Calypso said smiling wide.
"Really" I said. Calypso laughed and a tear slid down her face.
"I'm...we are getting married!" she yelled, tackling me into a monster sized hug.
*END FLASHBACK*
I then knelled down to have another look at Astrid. She had bruises all across her body. There were no major cuts, but nicks and slashes everywhere.
I then called Black Ice over and reached into my saddle bag. Good thing I still had some burn salve.
I then applied almost all of it to Astrid's arms and stomach. The pain on her face eased and I let out a sigh of relief. I then reached into the bag to find some bandages, she would not last long if I didn't treat some of her wounds.
Ok please review! What do you guys think? Please please review!
