Chapter 16
A reaper 902t10
This was a project he never finished because he ran out of material and hardware
The main frame is complete along with the blue prints.
" Ok guys what should we do with these robotic dragons" hiccup askes the group
"I think we should repair them and reprogram them so we can use them against him "Fishlegs says
". I agree" Astrid says,
"I as well agree with fishface "snotlout says
"Ok we fix them and reprogram them to hunt down Blackmist and Shadow178."hiccup says
" you guys will have one shot to take Shadow178 out of commission and capture Blackmist". The humanoid drone says
"And why is that " Astrid says
"me and blackmist programmed Shadow178 to adapt to new threats"
"One other thing each dragon is only operational by a Android such as my self located in the chest infront of the core. In order to beat Shadow178 you must destroy my brother ark shadow then the core it self. These are operated in the same way they need a human or humanoid drone to operate them."
"Well that will come in handy"
"So which one do you operate" my twin was destroyed and I was going to be one of the black reapers operator. The black reapers needs two to operate due to its size.
"I'll take the black reaper " Ryder says
" I will as well" the droid adds I know how it will operate
12 months later
"Sir I heavily advise against going back there our safe zone is destroyed " Shadow178 says
"You will be fine I completely reprogrammed you are safe"
" it is not me I am worried about it you sir. your masters forbid you to return"
" I don't care what my masters forbid me to do they cannot control my life"
"But you joined there order they own you sir"
Blackmist unsheathed his sword and places it along Shadow178 robotic jaw while pressing the botton that makes the blade glow.
" don't make me do something I will regret . Remember where your legions lay. Blackmist growls out while grinding the blade under the jaw which sparks off the armoured scales. Blackmist re sheaths his sword.
"My legions are with you sir I will nEver betray you if I would I would put my self out of commission permanently "Shadow178 replies
We are going back to take what we left beneath ground level. And hopefully the hard drive.
Sir I am reading incoming hostiles from the air.
"Is it police choppers " Blackmist askes while climbing on Shadow178's back
" no sir they are not choppers they are flying in v formation at high speed to our direct position."
"Shit turn off your sonars they are tracking it " Blackmist commands
"Sonars offline " Shadow178 replies
"Shut down your back up thrusters and activAte cloak"
Blackmist commands again
"Targets have stopped and are sending sonar waves towards us"Shadow178 informs Blackmist after cloaking
" fly into the thermosphere to evade the sonar waves"
"that will disrupt my Ai sir " Shadow178 says
"just do it"
Shadow178 complies and flies straight up. the sonar wave just misses them
"Ok now track the wave back to targets but stay in cloak"
" stealth mode engaged tracking enabled."
" Shadow178 suddenly burst to the right and down out of the phermosphere head ing directly behind the targets.
"Are those my dragons" Blackmist says in shock
" it would appear so sir" Shadow178 says confirming the scans
" oh hell no nobody uses my own inventions against me and gets away with it" Blackmist says to himself.
"What should I do sir" Shadow178 says awaiting orders.
"Shadow178 go on full oftence
"Combat mode engaged "
With that Shadow178 back splits open and blackmist enters into a hollow spot in Shadow178 chest the back re seals . A hud pops up glowing red the other dragons are soon locked on to
" on my mark fire" Blackmist says
" warning ,warning , warning incoming lightning blast"Shadow178 voice says internally
"Going into evasive maneuvers "Shadow178 warns before spiraling around the lightning blast . Incoming ice projectiles
Shadow178 responds to Blackmist warning by slicing the ice projectiles in half and spinning to recechade them off it self."
"I have a idea .what one of the dragons are behind us "? Blackmist says
"It's the black reaper sir and it's right on my tail"
"Ok here is the plan…"
"Yes sir not a wise plan but it can work if you time it perfectly "
"Then do it "
"As you wish sir" Shadow178 says before parachuting it's wings the black reaper shoots past it .
" ok now go full speed ahead and drop me on its back " Blackmist commands
Before holding a eject lever. shadow178 flies at its full speed before flying upside down above the black reapers pulls the lever and ejects out from Shadow178 back and lands on the black reapers back and turns his magnetic combat boots on .blackmist runs up its huge back before he finds what he was looking for the manual shutdown he put for emergencies . Blackmist takes a dagger out of its sheath on his torso and pries open the protective hatch and finds and punches a glowing screen .the black reaper immediately begins to. Fall out of the sky. Another hatch opens and Ryder climbs out.
Blackmist pulls out his sword and presses a botton which makes the sword glow red hot. Ryder gets up and aims his pythons at Blackmist.
"You upgraded my dragons nice touch" Blackmist compliments
"They are no longer your dragons we re programmed them to take you and Shadow178 out of commission.
"So be it what are we standing around for when your dragon is falling out of the sky" Blackmist says smugly
"I don't know but once I take that mask off I am going to wipe that smug look off your face "Ryder says anger illy
"Ha try me" Blackmist still says smugly Ryder starts firing Blackmist ducks as the bullet flys past his head.
"Come on I thought you wanted to kill me quite playing around" Blackmist taunts
"Ok try this on" Ryder points a red laser at blackmist head four sentry guns come out of the black reapers back and aim at Blackmist head
"S***"Blackmist swears before the sentry guns open fire at him
"Shadow178 take out the sentry guns I can't keep defecting the bullets"Blackmist yells out.
"give me 2 seconds " Shadow178 says .
a red explosion is seen in the sky as chunks of red armour begin to fall from the nightmare Shadow178 starts a dive but gets rammed in the side by the gronkle no real damage is done except for a small dent. Shadow178 restarts its power dive and sniper blasts the sentry guns.
"Thanks for the help" Blackmist says to Shadow178 s frequency
"No problem sir but I insist I pick you before you hit the ocean" give a few more seconds.
"My armour is at 15 % I don't know how many more shots I can take from the night fury Before damage starts to add up." Shadow178 says while evading multiple spines from the deadly nadder.
"Just hold up a little longer go into stealth" and hide out
"Stealth is not a option sir"
"Ryder restart the Power before we hit the sea" the repair bot says on Ryder's inter com.
"I will turn it back on as soon as I get past Blackmist " Ryder says before firing at blackmist multiple times. One bullet gets lucky and strikes Blackmist in the shoulder blackmist drops his sword .
" s*** I have been hit come pick me up" Blackmist say while re sheathing his sword in the sheath on his back.
" surrender Blackmist "
"Armour at 2%" Shadow178 says as another plasma blast hits it in side .
"1 rule I always keep to I never surrender" Blackmist says putting his robotic arm up
" Shadow178 dives down once more and picks Blackmist off the falling dragon. Ryder rushes forward and reaches the manual power only to find out the screen was broken but thankfully he himself installed a lever. Ryder pulls the leaver and the black reapers starts back up instantly and flaps its massive wings just as the chest touches the ocean the wings whine loudly. the black reaper rise back up to altitude and takes off after Shadow178 who was smoking .
"Don't let it get away " ryder says
" we need 5 seconds to reboot sir" the repair bot says while repeatedly switching a lever on and off 5 seconds later the black reaper is fully operational ." Ok give it hell " Ryder orders
" easier said then done he won't stop moving " get the group to box him in"
"Yes sir" calling group for assistance . 2 minutes later the group box in Shadow178
Half of the group were smoking from the damage with chunks of their armour gone.
Blue beams of energy bursting from the other dragons mouths in case Shadow178 shutting him down.
" Blackmist aims his arm at one of the dragons mouths and fire a plasma bolt from his plasma cannon . The bolt strikes the dragon strait in the energy barrel 1 blue beam disappears followed by the rest.
Shadow178 regains power and dissapears from sight and sonar.
" fuck we nearly had him" Ryder yells
"Next time Ryder his dragon is in a critical it is going to take weeks to repair it self." Hiccup says
" fine fall back to headquarters and repair your dragons "
"I am going to do mediation by myself"ryder says.
" good luck" hiccup says
