Dragons: New Allies
Chapter 3
Hey, guys! I'm back again! You know, I just love working on my stories on the computer. Not that writing them in my notebook isn't fun, it's just less painful working on a computer, you know? Anyway, here's Chapter 3!
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragons.

Hiccup Haddock grunted as he held back an axe aimed at his head. He and the other riders were engaged in combat with the new dragon hunters' leader, Votch, and his men. They had received a tip about them from Johann and were shot out of the sky with dragon root while trying to free the dragons they had captured. The riders had evaded capture for now, but with their dragons grounded and with limited blasts, it was only a matter of time before they were beaten.
"Hiccup!" Astrid yelled. "We can't keep this up! We're outnumbered!"
"I know", said Hiccup. "I have a plan. Toothless! Plasma blast!"
The Night Fury blasted the sand on the beach, creating a temporary smoke screen.
"Now's our chance!" said Hiccup. "Come on!"
The riders gathered their dragons and retreated into the woods. Votch and his men coughed and sputtered as the smoke cleared. He growled.
"Find them", he demanded. "Bring the riders and their dragons to me."
The riders checked on their dragons, but the dragon root still hadn't worn off.
"Great!" said Snotlout. "We're sitting ducks."
"Uh, I'm pretty sure that ducks don't sit", said Ruffnut.
"Yeah, they waddle", said Tuffnut, and everyone rolled their eyes.
"Snotlout's right, Hiccup", said Fishlegs. "The dragon root keeps us grounded."
"If only I could remember the antidote Dagur gave Toothless!" said Hiccup.
"We'll come up with something", said Astrid. "At least we're safe, for now."
"Sure, let's call it that", said Snotlout.
"Um, whatever we're gonna do, we'd better do it fast", said Fishlegs with a gulp. "Look!"
Votch and his men were headed right for them.
"Run!" Hiccup said.
Dragons and riders moved further into the forest...and right into a clearing. Astrid gasped.
"This can't be good", said Tuffnut.
As if in answer, a net was thrown over the riders. Not long after that, Votch and his men captured Stormfly, Barf and Belch, Hookfang, Meatlug and Toothless. The new leader of the dragon hunters chuckled as he watched Hiccup and friends struggle in the net.
"So these are the dragon riders", he said. "The fierce, mighty Vikings who defeated Ryker and Viggo? Disappointing."
He eyed the prosthetic leg.
"And you must be Hiccup Haddock, the first Viking to ever ride a dragon. A Night Fury."
Toothless growled.
"Yes, I'm sure we'll get a pretty penny for all of your dragons."
"Do what you want to us", said Hiccup. "Just don't hurt the dragons."
"Uh, speak for yourself!" said Snotlout. "I would like to live!"
Votch chuckled.
"That depends on who buys them", he said. "Take them all to the ship."
But before his men could move, a distant roar sounded above them. Everyone looked up to see a large black dragon descending quickly.
"Shoot it!" Votch commanded.
His men took aim with their arrows and fired. They were shocked to see every single shot bounce away from the dragon. As it circled around, a figure was spotted on its back, holding a staff. Hiccup and the riders watched as the figure ran off the dragon's body and dug its staff into the ground, swinging its legs around and knocking down some of Votch's men. The figure wore a dark cloak with a hood, revealing only piercing green eyes beneath it. It motioned to the dragon in the sky, who released its fire and freed the dragons from the nets. The figure then cut the riders loose and fought Votch's men with its staff. Hiccup and his friends only stood there, speechless.
"Whoa", said the twins.
"You gotta be kidding me", said Snotlout.
Fishlegs squealed with excitement.
"Hiccup-" said Astrid.
"I know", said Hiccup. "I can't believe it, either."
The figure's dragon was a Night Fury.
Yay! Toothless isn't alone anymore! Of course, you knew that from the summary. Anyway, tell me what you think!
