Back to the action! Yes! This makes me happy.

Guest:I know, but they're boring! Don't worry, there are advanced screenings, and that's what I went to. I did hate a few, but I made sure to avoid as much httyd stuff as possible until I'd seen it. I hope I will deliver a great chapter for you!

The day dawned bright and clear. Just another day on Berk, or so they thought. The sun peeked out from behind thick, white clouds and sparkled off the sea. With nothing from Kat for a week, they presumed that she was dead, perhaps from disease, infection or blood loss.

But they were very, very wrong.

The dragon spread his wide wings as though trying to engulf the whole village, swooping above the rooftops. The people of the town were slow to notice their foe's return as Kat stood up in her stirrups, surveying them. A cruel snarl twisted her lips. She was about to take her revenge on the one who had injured her so badly. With him out of the way, Astrid incapacitated and Ruffnut out too, there would be no-one but Hiccup to stand against her.

Blueflame banked, swooping around the village in search of Snotlout. His earth-rattling roar echoed throughout the buildings. She could see them all looking, scurrying like ants as they tried to avoid her. Outside the infirmary, Hiccup stood, watching her for her next move. She snorted. He was pitiful.

A bola found it's way into the sky near her, but her dragon was quick to move aside. Her nose wrinkled.

"Excuse me, I'm flying here!" She roared, tugging her reins to steer her dragon away. With the entire village spread out below her, she could see anything and everything that was happening. It gave her an unusual sense of power. Like she could do anything, be anything. And today, she was Kat, and she was about to take her revenge.

Her shoulder was by no means healed. She was simply lucky that it was her left and not her right, leaving her free still to swing her sword, which was buckled securely at her hip. She held the reins in one hand, her right, steering only if she needed to. Blueflame knew what he was doing anyway.

She jolted upright as she spotted him, heading for a square near the cliffs. Snotlout Jorgenson, Nightmare rider. He had an annoying little swagger in his movement, like he owned everything he saw. Blueflame hummed as he sleekly flew down, closer. Kat slipped her feet out of her stirrups and stood up on the saddle, ready to jump.

Ruffnut was walking in the calm shade of the buildings, blissfully unaware of what was happening. Suddenly, she caught sight of an enormous dragon swooping above, heading down nearby. Despite the stabbing pain in her back, she began to dash towards the site, determined not to sit back and do nothing. As she rounded the corner of the final building and looked out across the grassy square, she caught sight of Snotlout walking calmly towards her, and behind him, a foul beast descending from the sky.

She shouted, "Snotlout! Look out!" But it was clear he had already spotted the problem. Luckily, he had remembered to hang his hammer from his belt this time, and in a sleek movement, snatched it up and held it out.

And there she was, standing before them once again, just as proud and mean-looking as she'd ever been. Kat knifed towards the teens, sword held out. The shoulder of her leather flight-suit was crudely sewn up with brown leather thread. There was not a hint of a smile on her face. Today, she wasn't here to mess about. She had a plan, an aim. Snotlout glared warily, his weapon raised as she came closer.

Ruffnut found herself biting her lip, afraid for her friend as the two came closer. Creeping closer, she strained to listen in to what they were saying.

"I think we need to talk, Snotlout." Kat's sword whipped about, blade down, burying itself into the soil. Kat leant on it nonchalantly, eyebrow raised. Her shoulder ached painfully, reminding her why she was here.

"Yeah? What abut? Did I hurt you?" Snotlout mocked, keeping his hammer up and prepared. Kat scowled dangerously.

"Yes, you did. Quite a lot, actually." She spoke as if it was nothing. "But that's not what I want to talk about. I'm gonna talk about something very close to your heart, and I guarantee you'll listen to me."

"I'm not listening to anything you have to say. You'd better leave now, before I bash your skull in and finish the job."

"One word, Snotlout. Just one word."

"No." He raised the hammer. Kat didn't move, didn't even flinch as he came at her like a charging yak, teeth bared.

"Just one." She sniffed. "Sophie."

Snotlout stopped dead in his tracks, his face draining of all colour. The hammer dropped to his side, his shoulders slumped in surprise. The boy was caught completely off-guard.

"Do close your mouth, darling, you'll let the flies in..." Kat's eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth twitching upwards very slightly. Snotlout took a bewildered step back.

"H-How do you know about that? What have you done to her?" Rage boiled up inside him. If she'd done something to Sophie, he wouldn't rest until she was killed in the most brutal way possible.

"You really don't recognise me, dear?"

Overcome by anger, Snotlout wasn't listening. He lashed out with his hammer in a viscous swing. It smashed into Kat's sword, sending her tumbling to the ground and her weapon flying away across the square. He loomed above her, deadly. Kat's face contorted between fear and rage as she scrabbled to her feet. She dodged the hammer-swings that were threatening to slam into her and crush her bones, left and right, all the while trying to lead him towards where her sword lay in the dust.

A swing came over her head, which she hurriedly ducked, then rolled away. Picking herself up, she ran blindly for her sword, snatching it up just as Snotlout's arms wrapped around her waist and brought her crashing down into the dirt. Worming away from his pummelling fists, she drove the sword between them, leaving a long cut down one of his arms. It gave her just enough time to escape. She made for the cliffs, a mad dash. The Jorgenson boy was right behind her. Spinning about, she met and powerful blow with her sword.

Kat's other hand delved into one of her pouches, drawing out a clay bomb. With a few snaps of her fingers, the wick lit and she tossed it to the ground at her feet, diving away as it burst forth. Snotlout staggered back, blinded by the bright blue light. All of a sudden, she was there beside him, backing him onto the cliff-edge. He held his hammer out, but her sword came flashing, far too fast, knocking it from his grip with ease.

"H-How do you do that?" He stammered, holding his hands out in surrender.

"With practice." She stated flatly. His eyes flicked to the burning fire behind them. "Oh, that? Easy." She held up her fingers, displaying what looked like two rings that covered the tips of her middle finger and thumb. "One is flint, the other is steel. When I strike one with the other, like when I click my fingers, they make a spark. And wouldn't you know it, that liquid is extremely flammable."

"What do you want with me, Kat?" He breathed.

"I'm gonna break you, Snotlout, but there's only one way I can do that. Promise me you'll hold your breath..."

Ruffnut dashed across the square as soon as the bomb went off, but in her debilitated state, she just couldn't get there fast enough. Kat had her friend backed up against the cliff-edge, but it didn't look as though they were fighting anymore. She pressed herself faster. Whatever happened, she could give him time by taking Kat by surprise and at least trying to hold her down. However, What she didn't expect was what made her stop in her tracks, made her gasp with horror as she watched Kat sheath her sword, then tackle Snotlout, knocking him not only to the floor, but right over the edge of the cliff, where they both disappeared.

"Snotlout!" She wailed, rushing forward once again and tossing herself onto her belly on the edge, peering over to where the two perfect white rings were swelling on the surface of the water.

I just saw the new movie and MY GOODNESS was it amazing. I think I'll have to go again. What did all of you think? Just remember, some people still haven't seen it, so no spoilers, but I'd love to know!

Not sure what the next few chapters will be like, but I just can't wait for the final battle. I hope you can't either!
