Here's the latest chapter. So read it and tell me what you think.
Intro: The Screaming death opens its eyes and breaths fire as the Autobots in vehicle mode and Dragon Rider drive and fly out of the flames, Optimus Transforms into Robot mode as he and the other Autobots and Dragon Rider with Weapons. In the Autobot base the Dragon Riders and Autobot partners who transforms into vehicle mode fly/drive out into the Ground Bridge. Alvin with an axe, as Dagur on the right throws an axe, and Savage fire two crossbows, the Screaming Death rises from the background and flies towards Optimus, Hiccup and Toothless who charge, the trio and Screaming Death charge into each other Optimus punches it, DreamWorks Dragons Defenders of Berk and Hasbo Transformers Prime; Beast Hunters.
High in the sky, the twins are flying on Bark and Belch's necks, causing some terrible terror to rise up and hover in the air. They were flying through and around the stone pillars.
As they return to the clouds, they are met by Hiccup and Fishlegs on their dragons as well. Hiccup asks the twins: "Guys, could you please put a lid on it? Looking for the Screaming Death, low profile. Remember the meeting?" The male twin replies to his friend: "Yeah, but we had our own meeting. Hoo. Dangerous-pointy-rocks." They swoop down to the said sharp rocks.
Fishlegs asks his friend: "How did we get stuck with these two?" To which Hiccup answers: "Well it was them or Snotlout." The large body and knowledgeable sees the wisdom in the chooses and says: "Hmm. Point taken." They continue to fly, onward then Hiccup receives a transmission: "Go ahead."
On an island where Optimus Prime is along with Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus says: "Hiccup. We've scouted the island for no signs of the Screaming or even Whispering deaths." Hiccup asks him: "What did you find?" Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee holding large bear traps. Optimus Prime answers: "No, but we found some traps." Hiccup tells him through the comlink: "Ok, keep your eyes peeled. We know they'll pop up anywhere."
The last Prime finishes: "Copy that." They continue their scouting for the Whispering Deaths and Screaming Death. Ultra Magnus says to his leading officer: "Optimus this feels like as the humans say 'A wild goose chase'. So far we haven't seen any sign of the Screaming Death or it's siblings." Optimus places his hand on Ultra Magnus' right shoulder and speaks to him: "True old friend. But we can't our chances with that dragon, it will return to reclaim its birthplace. Even if it means killing other dragons to get it." The three Autobots continue their search unknown to them they were being watched.
Elsewhere on Dragon Island, as Astrid, Stormfly, Snotlout and Hookfang flew over the said island, Astrid says regarding it: "Nothing unusual on Dragon Island. You see anything?" She asks her traveling companion eho is trying to flirt with her, by winking at her. "Hey! Dragon Island is down there." She is not impressed by the arrogant Viking's attempt in romance.
Snotlout replies still trying to woo the opposite sex: "But your eyes are up here." He spoke his cheesy attempts of love word play. She rolls her eyes knowing how annoying he is.
The young male Viking still stares at her, to which she asks him: "What?" Snotlout answers: "I just find it interesting, that you chose me to be your partner on the Screaming Death patrol." He thought she chose him out of love, but Astrid replies simply: "Hiccup had first pick. And second pick." Snotlout still not believing in her words: "Hey, if that what you need to believe, keep telling yourself that. Point is, here we are, together. Alone." He tries to sway her to be his girlfriend but she replies differently: "Not alone enough." The female Viking and Deadly Nadder swoops down to the island.
Snotlout says to his dragon Hookfang: "I think she's digging me. What do you think?" The dragon bounces off his saddle and he lands on the Monstrous Nightmare swoops down too.
Back with the Viking Prince, the knowledgeable Viking and the twins on their dragons flies towards another island.
Fishlegs says seeing the island and calls out its name in fear: "Oh great, Changewing Island." Hiccup says to his friends: "Okay guys, quick refresher. Island of ill-tempered-highly-territorial-and-virtually-invisible dragons." As he spoke about the traits of the changewings Toothless looks down to see if he can senesce them.
Then Tuffnut says of what they should do: "So ww should buzz em!" Ruffnut agreeing with her brother says: "Really riled them up!" But Hiccup corrects them: "I was thinking more along the lines of keep our distance." Fishlegs chuckles and says: "I like the sound of that." Then a roar is made, which Toothless reacts to it.
"That, I don't like the sound of." Said Fishlegs with fear in his voice. Hiccup agreeably says: "Me neither. But we still need to check it out." As he and the Night Fury swoops down to source of the disturbance, Fishlegs asks: "What happened to the keep our distance policy?" He follows the young prince.
Through two large upward stone pillars and on the plain they see a dragon and in specific its a Scauldron. "Wow that's a Scoaldron." Then Fishlegs questions: "Well, what's it doing on land?" Tuffnut answers/questions: "Catching some rays?" Ruffnut adds: "Taking some alone time?" The male twin mutters to himself: "Lucky dragon."
Fishlegs says of a theory very specifically and in detail: "Hm…or, maybe it's waiting for unsuspecting dragon riders to get too close, so it can blast them with its scolding hot water. Ho, just lovely." He spoke in a quickly at the near end of his sentence, but spoke sarcastically at the end.
Hiccup turns to look at the aquatic based dragon too see it's right wing is trapped by a rock.
Hiccup says regarding the aquatic dragon: "Actually, I think he might be hurt. Let's check it out." The Viking prince said as he and his friends lands near the beast.
Even though they show no hostility to the dragon it still roars at them even as they land. They dismount from their dragons seeing closely that it's right wing is trapped by a pile of stones causing it unable to fly.
Tuffnut says regarding the dragon: "Wow! He is huge." Ruffnut adds: "He could, eat me in one bite." The male twin says as he pushes his sister: "Let's see!" He shoves the twin sister which the Scauldron raises it's head and hisses.
Tuffnut laughs at his sister, who retaliates back kicking him in the navel which causes him to fall back in pain. "Or maybe not." He said plainly through the pain.
Fishlegs says to his friend: "Hiccup, look!" He points to fallen rocks and a tilted tree. "There must've been an earthquake. And before he could get back to the water, his wing got pinned." He theorized as the Scauldron struggles with it's trapped wing. Hiccup says of the risks of the dragon's life: "A tidal class dragon, can't stay out of the water for very long. If it's skin dries, all the way out…" He didn't finish the sentence but they know what will happen. "We have to help him."
He walks forward but is stopped by Fishlegs who says to him: "Perhaps I need to remind you; Scauldron and boiling poisonous death that way. Changewing, acid spitting invisible death that way." He points to both the pinned by rocks dragon and forest of possible dragons the other direction where a tree is rustling. The large Viking was so frighten he cuddles up to Meatlug. Only to find out it's a prank the twins made to scare Fishlegs, which it works so they laughed at him.
Hiccup says to his friend: "Come on out Fishlegs. It's just the twins." As they climb down, Tuffnut asks: "How do you know we're not a changewing? Disguised as us?" Ruffnut adds in agreement: "He's right. Didn't Fishlegs and Ratchet said they can change their body-heat to make them even more und-ecid-able?" She spoke trying to pronounce the word correctly as she could. The Viking Prince being serious says: "Guys come on. We need to find a way to free that Scauldron. We can't just leave him without trying." He stated their duty and responsibility.
The male twin says simply: "Hu, sure we can. We have dragons. We just fly away." He uses his arm to demonstrate them flying away.
Toothless nudges against his rider's leg. Hiccup says to his team: "You guys keep an eye out for Changewings. Toothless and I will see if we can help him." The male twin sarcastically says to him: "Yeah, feel free." The female twin adds: "Knock yourself out." Tuffnut finishes: "Dibs on Toothless and Bee if you don't make it back."
As the Viking Dragon Riding prince and Night Fury walks towards the aquatic dragon who raises its head, it growls at them, but Toothless roars at it to stand down. Hiccup places his hand on his dragon and reassures him: "It's okay bud. I'll be okay." As Toothless leaves his rider's side, the said rider turns back to the Scauldron and calm spoke to it. "Hey pal. How do you get yourself into this mess?" The dragon hisses at Hiccup who doesn't show any malice or hostility towards the dragon. "Oh, ok it's-it's not really important." He spoke as he backs away. "Uh, what is important is us getting you out of here. What do you say?" He asks the dragon who replies by lowering its head, then fills its mouth, which Hiccup widen's his in fear for he knows what will happen next.
The dragon's mouth was filled up with water, Hiccup runs and hide behind some stones as the dragon spews scalding hot water out of its mouth.
The roar of the Scauldron was so long the island of the Changewings can hear it. They knew some uninvited guest was on their island.
Hiccup pokes his head up after the attack of the Scauldron and says: "Oh, ok. Not the answer I was looking for." Then he turns to his teammates, "Gang, ideas?" To which Tuffnut rises up and says: "I have an idea. Would be great if bread all ready came sliced? Than you can enjoy it a little bit at a time." Ruffnut agreeably adds: "Think of all the sandwiches you could make!" The idea wasn't related to the Scauldron but still a pretty great idea. Hiccup says to the twins: "Guys, please! Can we focus, on the Scauldron?"
Tuffnut makes a simply answer: "I say, we blast those boulders off his wing." Hiccup isn't the type to take that risky a-move says: "It's too big a risk. We might hurt him more." Ruffnut says repeating what her brother: "Ok, why don't we just blast those boulders off?" The Viking prince and dragon knowledge Viking looks at the female twin with confusion on their faces.
Hiccup ignores the words and says of what they should do: "We need to let the Scauldron know we're friends." Fishlegs comes up with an idea: "Maybe if we got him wet. It might calm him down." Hiccup agrees and says: "Yeah, it's worth a short." Tuffnuts rushes up and says: "Or we could…" before he finishes his sentence Hiccup covers his mouth and stops him and says to him: "Don't say it." He turns back to the dragon, "After that, we still need to get those boulders off. And no, we're not blasting them off!" He stops Ruffnut from speaking who also walks up to speak of an idea. Fishlegs asks: "Why not call Optimus and the other Autobots?" He considered.
The Dragon riding Viking Prince says: "Yeah. This might make our job easy." He presses his Comlink, "Optimus do you read?"
On the distant island, the last Prime returns to call: "Yes Hiccup?"
Hiccup says to him: "We got a Scauldron, it's got a pinned wing by a pile of boulders and we need some assistance."
Optimus replies to him: "Alright. We'll be there as soon as possible. Over and out." He finishes, then he turns to his fellow Autobots, "Hiccup called for assistance. A in danger tidal class dragon has its wing pinned by large stones." The second-in-command Autobot says: "I think we can spend a mount of time helping a dragon that's trapped." Optimus turns on his comlink and calls: "Ratchet, we need a Groundbridge." But all he gets is static. "Ratchet do you read?" But no responds from HQ. "That's odd. I can't seem to reach home base." Bumblebee beeps: ("That can't be good. Only Cybertronian technology has the capability to jam our comlink system."). He beepingly stated. Then a buzzing sound is made.
Bumblebee asks: ("Does anyone here that buzzing sound?"). They turn to see a giant wasp. Optimus Prime says regarding the abnormally large insect: "Waspinator?" The robotic insect says: "Mmm…Waspinator will bring in Prime, bumble-bot and Magnus! With that Hard Shell will be so pleased!" He buzzes, to which Ultra Magnus says to him: "You think one small Insecticons can take us in, so easily? Than you're in for surprise." He readies to fight but Optimus stops him by raising his arm to Ultra Magnus' chest and says: "Waspinator, there's no need for us to fight. We can end this meaningless bloodshed. Just have you and the other Insecticons surrender the Screaming Death and the other Whispering Deaths, and we'll show mercy?" He tries to appeal to the Insecticon's better nature but with no success.
Waspinator replies: "Nnnoooo! Waspinator and the Insecticons will never surrender to weakling Autobots! And soon, Screaming-bot, Wispering-bots and Insecticons will take fleshy-bots island." As he openly explains their goal, Bumblebee questions: ("Did that bug called us weak?"). The Blue Autobot says: "Indeed he did." So the three Autobots transforms their arms into blasters and fires at the Insecticon leaving the head, upper wasp body without stinger tail and three legs, to which Washington groans in pain.
Optimus Prime says: "Well that takes care of him. Now let's leave so we can find a safer area to call HQ." The three Autobots leave unknown to them, Waspinator is still alive who contacts his base, he spoke in pain: "Waspinator to base, (groaning). Autobot on island near our territory. They're trying to make contact. Hard Shell, Waspinator in serious amount of pain here." Hard Shell replies though the comlink: "Hold on Wasp. We're on our way, sending reinforcements." As the Wasp Insecticon passes out from the pain and groans, Hard Shell ends the transmission.
Back with Dragon Riders who are flying over the Scauldron with buckets of water. Then Hiccup yells to them: "Now!"
Tuffnut speaks out loud to the water dragon: "Bath time! Get your leather ducky ready!" The twins and their two headed dragon dives in only for the tidal class dragon to use his none pinned wing to swipe the twins and their back and clashes into Fishlegs and Meatlug.
Hiccup mounts on Toothless and rescues Tuffnut before he lands on some large rocks, as for the large body Viking and dragon they had crash landings as did Ruffnut, Barf and Belch. The buckets of water were spilled all over the place, one was resting on Ruffnut's butt.
Hiccup picks up one of the buckets and says: "Okay, so, the idea was to get the dragon wet." He explained, Fishlegs says on a positive: "On the up side; being has me feel calmer." Tuffnut adds: "It just made me feel wetter."
The large bodied Viking teenager gets back up and asks his friend: "So what's next?" The peg legged Viking teenager says: "I'm open for suggestions." The male twin says: "Well…" Hiccup interrupts: "That don't involve blasting boulders off of wings." Tuffnut stops to think but gives up and says: "Never mind." He crosses his arms together.
Hiccup asks again: "Fishlegs?" To which he replies with a question: "If it won't let us help it, what can we do? And where's Optimus and the others? Shouldn't they've been here by now?" Hiccup answers: "I tried to reach them, but I keep getting this weird shhsshh noise. I think there's a Communication problem on their end." Ruffnut stands up and says: "Yeah, what could be disturbing their magical ear devices?" Tuffnut adds in the form of a question: "Yeah, like those metal bug guys?" Hiccup still ignores those two, and speaks: "Ok, aside from that. Back the Scauldron, there has to be a way."
As the Scauldron continued to roar, the Changewings are in packs slowly following the roar for the intrude on their island. Back with the Scauldron who now begins to spray his water hysterically until he drop from exhaustion and dehydration.
Fishlegs hid behind Hiccup, as he emerges he says to him: "Hiccup, you know how I feel about dragons. But a wild Scauldron is…it's well…it's about as wild as they gets. Maybe…(exhales deeply) maybe this is just one of those times, when nature just has to take its course." He said in a regrettable but without other options.
Tuffnut walks up and asks: "You mean like how I drank that sour yak-milk and gave Ruffnut the 'Smoking Viking'." He jokes around, to which Hiccup replies: "He means, if the Scauldron won't let us help him. Well there's nothing more we can do, without endangering ourselves or our dragons." He was remorseful of leaving a helpless dragon, as he, Fishlegs and Tuffnut who just follow, but Ruffnut on the other hand didn't move.
Look at the dragon who wore itself out, she was feeling sympathetic towards the trapped beast.
She slowly walks to the two headed dragon, the Night Fury, Gronckle and Hideous Zippleback, they too were feeling sympathetic, Hiccup speaks openly: "Ere, sorry." As he and Toothless shoots up in the air, Toothless stops which confuses him, "What is it bud?" The Night Fury along Meatlug despite Fishlegs pulling her ears to follow his orders, lands back on the sand.
Fishlegs asks his dragon Meatlug: "What's wrong girl?" She lays down, "What is it? I don't think the dragons want us to leave either." Tuffnut yelling-ly says: "Just show them who the boss is! Watch and learn…" Then Barf and Belch swings and tosses their riders off their necks.
Tuffnut lands behind a large rock, Ruffnut lands in front of the Scauldron. She rises up, and looks to see the tidal class dragon who snarls at her, to which she simply says to it: "Hey." The beast, raises its head ready to attack the female Viking.
On the island, Ultra Magnus, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime split up to find better transmission to call HQ.
Ultra Magnus was on a ridge near a beach side who tries to use his comlink: "Autobot HQ do you copy? Dr. Ratchet, do you read?" The only thing he's getting is static. "I'm still getting static. Why?" Then the ground begins to shake, then bursting out is a giant red fire ant, it was Inferno and beside him is Kickback. The Autobot commander says: "Insecticons. I should've guessed, that wasp called reinforcements." He spoke in a stoke tone in the end of his sentence.
Inferno says to him: "Ultra Magnus, your time to burn has come Autobot scum!" Kickback transforms into robot mode and adds: "And when we're done, we'll eat, eat, eat!" He repeats the last word insanely. Then Ultra Magnus says to them not feeling intimidated: "I doubt that. I won't fall so easily." He transforms his right hand into a gun and his left arm into a sword. Then Inferno transforms into beast mode and aims his flamethrower/cannon gun at Ultra Magnus.
As for Bumblebee, he was in the forest mountain region, no signal from the high vantage point. Bumblebee beeps: ("This is getting ridiculous. I thought of getting rid of that annoying wasp guy we'd have no more interference. Why?"). Then a hissing sound followed by a cackling, he turns to see the giant green, purple and black tarantula, it was Tarantulas who says to Bumbleebee: "Why hello little bee. Did you miss me?" The Autobot scout's reply: ("Like rust on my back you oversize spider"). The robotic Insecticon says back to him: "So rude. And I came all this way just to meet you. You know it's been a long time since I've had a nice meal. Maybe you and I can have a bite together. Tarantulas terrorize!" He jumps off the tree and transforms into robot mode landing on his feet. Then Bee transforms his right arm into a blast as the two fire but hid behind a large tree and boulder to avoid being hit.
As for Optimus he was in a valley surrounded by tall stone pillars, he too couldn't get a signal either. Optimus Prime thought for a moment, since Waspinator the transmission interference would be stopped. But something's wrong then a blaster shot hits a boulder near him.
The last Prime hides behind one of the pillars, he spoke openly: "A sniper shot." Then a familiar voice says to him in a distance: "That was a warning shot Prime!" He spoke with venom in his voice.
Optimus says recognizing the voice: "Sharpshot." The Insecticon says to him as he reloads: "You remember me. I'm flattered." The last Prime asks: "How did you find me?" Sharpshot answers: "Waspinator, contacted us. Right after you and the other two Autobots blew him to pieces." The Last Prime speaks: "I see. You've come to avenge his death." The Insecticon sniper says simply: "He's not dead." Optimus Prime questions: "Not dead? But you said he was blown pieces." Sharpshot says in agreement but also corrects him: "True. But Waspinator is pretty durable. I know it sounds weird even for us. But he's got that rare blend of being expendable and invulnerable that makes for a perfect henchman." He explained as Optimus fires at Sharpshot but misses. Then Sharpshot retaliates by returning fire.
Returning to the Dragon Riders and Scualdron, as the tidal class dragon stares angrily at the female twin Viking who gets up but is stopped by Hiccup who says to her: "Ruffnut, do not move." To which she replies: "For the first time Hiccup; you have my full attention." The light green dragon leans it's head towards Ruffnut.
Tuffnut laying on a rock regains consciousness, only for Barf and Belch to land on top of him, roaring at the wild Scauldron and charges but it spray scalding water at it, but they dodge it before being it. Them Hiccup and Toothless comes in between them and reassures the two headed dragon: "Wow! Guys, she's alright."
The female twin was a bit nervous as the Scauldron sniffs her, Fishlegs asks openly: "What's it doing?" The Viking prince dismounts off of Toothless and guesses: "I think it's…smelling her." As Ruffnut lean left the Scauldron leans on it's left, she tries on lean the right it does it again, even puts its mouth on her hair.
Tuffnut jokes saying to his sister: "Hehehe! Hey Ruffnut! Looks like you finally got a date, that's as ugly as you!" She removes her long hair out of the dragon's mouth.
Hiccup and the others walked towards the dragon, as he says: "M-Maybe it's finally gonna let us help." It turns it's attention to the other Dragon Riders raises it's head in attack position. Fishlegs quickly says: "Or not!" As they brace themselves, it went from attack mode to back to curious mode smelling Ruffnut's hair. The Viking Prince openly asks: "W-what is it about her hair, the dragon like so much?" The plus size Viking guesses in fear: "Maybe it's the color of its mother's hair." He said out like but realizes that's stupid even for the twins. "That doesn't make any sense does it? Sorry I'm still terrified from what just almost happened." He admits his fear.
Tuffnut asks as he sits on a stone: "Why would anyone like her smelly old hair? It's full of fish oil." Hiccup realizes this and turns around and asks her: "Ruffnut, do you put fish oil in your hair?"
Ruffnut turns around and answers: "Duh! How else do you think I get this greasy unwashed look?"
Hiccup says openly: "I'm not gonna pretend…to understand that." Fishlegs coming to his senses and points out the good thing: "No, it makes senes. Scauldron are ocean dwelling dragons. Maybe the smell of fish reminds him of home." He theorizes and Hiccup understand this and says: "Hey, if the smell of Ruffnut's hair keeps him calm. Gang, that's out way in."
Elsewhere with Astrid and Snotlout. As the female warrior looks up, she openly says: "Hiccup's late for another rendezvous. What a surprise." She said sarcastically at the end of her sentence. "You don't see them do you?" She turns asking her partner, she turns around further to be spooked by Snotlout, he still tries to flirt with her: "All I see is we're alone. Again. Coincidence? Perhaps." He said to her, but she questions him: "Are you for real?" Snotlout answers: "Oh yeah. Maybe a bit too real." He tries to romance her, "Had to happen eventually babe. Every week we face Berserkers, Outcasts, Decepticons, Insecticons, Screaming Deaths. The danger was bound to bring us together Astrid." Astrid was getting annoyed and leaves while asking: "You've been flying into thin air again haven't you?"
As she walks, but she is suddenly stopped and when she turns around, Snotlout kneeling before her says to her: "Life is so fragile." She was now beyond getting annoyed and has a angry face. "Like your…" She bends his arm and says to him in anger: "So is your arm!" She let's him go, whips her arm. "Let's go find Hiccup, and find out kind of trouble he's into." Snotlout still in the delusion says: "I get it. You don't trust yourself alone with Snotlout." Fed up with his flitting she throws a rock at him in the head, knocking him out, he raises his arm. "I'm coming. I'm coming." His arm falls back down.
As she mounts on Stormfly, Astrid receives a transmission: "Go ahead." The medical officer Ratchet says to her through the communication device: "Astrid, this is Ratchet." She asks him: "What's wrong Ratchet?" Ratchet answers: "I'm having some problems on my end. I can't reach Optimus or his team." The female warrior says to the medical robot: "Really? (Heavy sigh) Me and Snotlout were going to check on Hiccup, he hasn't came to the rendezvous point. We're heading over there, after we get him and his team we'll go to Optimus." Ratchet finishes: "That's reasonable. But I'll try again to reach him." She flies off, while Snotlout follows behind her.
Back with Optimus and his team, they were still fighting but took some miner but deep damages. As for the Insecticons they were heavily damaged and incapacitated. Optimus trying to use the communication device: "Ultra Magnus, Bumblebee, do either of you read me?" The only the thing he was receiving was static still. "Hmm. I figure this wasn't going to be easy. I need to do this the old fashion way. Find them on foot. And since Sharpshot was here, the other Insecticons can't be too far." He press on ward, hoping to find them.
Which he does find them, Ultra Magnus says to him: "Optimus Sir! We have a problem." Optimus Prime says to him: "Yes we do. The Insecticons are on this island. I think they're jamming our communication devices." Bumblebee asks: ("So how do we get out of here, if we can't call for help?"). The last Prime thinks for a moment, but then, they're attacked by Hardshell. The three Autobots were on the ground, looking up to see the Insecticon leader who was in insect mode.
The last Prime says with anger in his voice and a face to match: "Hardshell." Then Hardshell replies to them but feeling superior: "Weak Autobots. You won't leave this island alive. And you were right. But I was the one jamming your communication devices." Ultra Magnus questions: "How? You don't exactly possess the intelligence to block our devices." He spoke to the Insecticon leader with anger as well. Hardshell answers to the second-in-command Autobot: "Tarantulas uses a devices on me to block you." He shows the communication-blocking-device on his arm.
Bumblebee with a confused look asks again: ("He cannot be that stupid? He literally just shows the very thing we need to turn off the jamming signal on his arm."). As he and his comrades gets up and Optimus says: "Apparently so. If we need to remove his arm to stop the jamming signal. So be it." He transforms his arms into sword, Ultra Magnus follow but turns his left arm into a blaster and his right arm into a sword, but Bee transformers both arms into blasters. The Insecticon leader says to the three Autobots: "Well Autobots, if you want this jamming signal device so bad. Come and take it!" The four charges against each other three against one.
Back with Hiccup and his team, Ruffnut turns around and asks: "You want me to what?" Hiccup from a distance answers: "Train the Scauldron!" She turns back to the dragon only to turn back to her friends and says: "Uh, I can't do that!" Hiccup reassures her: "Sure you can! You trained Barf!" She replies differently: "That's half a dragon."
Tuffnut says in agreement with his sister: "And let's be honest. I did most of the work." Hiccup questions her: "W-w-what about all those classes at the academy?" The female twin asks: "Wait, we have classes?" Hiccup says to her: "Yeah, y-you know. When I'm standing at the front, talking about dragons." Tuffnut questions: "Were you talking to us?" The Viking Prince face slaps himself and says: "Okay, never mind. Uh, look don't worry Ruffnut. I will talk you through training a Scualdron." Then Fishlegs says regarding the situation of the Scauldron's condition: "Hiccup, we really need to hurry. The Scauldron is really looking dry."
The Scauldron's scales beings to dry up and hardening. Hiccup sees it too, and says to her: "Okay, step 1; establishment a bond." The female twin turns around and asks: "With who?" Hiccup answers in an irritated tone of voice: "With who…? You with the dragon." Ruffnut somewhat understanding replies: "Right…" She thinks for a moment, but can't think of anything. "How, exactly?" Fishlegs face slaps himself and asks: "You guys don't ever pay attention, do you?" Tuffnut simply answers: "No."
Hiccup continues to instruct Ruffnut: "R-Ruffnut try this; give the dragon a name." Ruffnut says openly taking Hiccup's advice: "Okay, how about, Please-don't-kill-me." The dragon's was still on her, then the Viking Prince says: "Yeah, or something a little more positive." Tuffnut adds a name: "I got one; Scolding-painful-death-the-dragon." Hiccup questions the name: "How is that more positive?" To which the male twin replies in the form of another question: "How is it not?"
Ruffnut asks: "Can I just go with this…Scauldy?" Hiccup replies in a positive tone: "Perfect." The Viking female twin smiles and turns back to the dragon and says to it: "Hey there, Scauldy." The dragon's gone from being a feral, to being domesticated towards Ruffnut, who turns to the group giving them the thumbs up. They give her thumbs up too.
In the forest the Changwings were closing in, towards their prey.
Back with the Dragon Riders, Ruffnut turns back to the dragon and says to it: "So…Scauldy, what brings you to Changwing Island? The tide or…the tide?" She repeats why the Scauldron was brought to the island. "I got nothing! Sorry guys!" As she embraces herself the Dragon didn't harm her.
Fishlegs openly asks: "Did that just sort of worked?" Hiccup answers: "Yeah, now comes the moment of truth." He turns to Ruffnut now. "Okay, talk to him again. And this time reach out your hand. Like this." He does a demonstration, he holds out his hand, Toothless gets up but instead of him pressing his snout against it was Fishlegs, which startles him and exclaims. "Ah! Fishlegs!" The large bodied Viking says to him: "Sorry! I'm just very nervous for Ruffnut." He explained himself as Toothless is mad for he stole his spot, "I'll go keep an eye for Changewings." He leaves to do his duty.
Hiccup turns from Fishlegs back to Ruffnut and says to her: "Go on Ruffnut." The female twin still hesitates, she tries to raise her hand, but is interrupted by Tuffnut who says: "You can do it sis!" This irritated her, "But in case you can't, at least your death will be quick, mostly painless and really cool to watch." He said to his sister, to which she groans, and starts to speak to the dragon: "Look Scauldy, I guessing you're as freaked out as I am right now." She said reaching her hand out, "But you don't kill me. I would really appreciate it…" Before she could finish the sentence, the tidal class dragon places her snout on her hand which was astonishing for her.
Toothless, Barf and Belch started to smile seeing the dragon being trained. Fishlegs emerges from hiding behind Meatlug, Hiccup himself was smiling.
The female twin says to the Scauldron: "Hai. Hey Scauldy." She talks to the dragon who's focus was on her.
Hiccup says to the team: "Come on guys, let's go." As he approaches the Scauldron who attitude turns from being calm to aggression. Ruffnut says to Scauldy to calm down: "I know, I know Scauldy. Hiccup's kinda bossy, but look he's trying to help you. Trust me." She reasons with him.
Fishlegs questions: "Shouldn't one of us, stay back as a look out for Changewings?" The knowledgeable Viking asks as if he wishes to keep his distance from the tidal class dragon to which Hiccup replies: "Changewings or not, we need to help this dragon. And it's going to take all of us to get those rocks off." He walks towards the dragon as does Fishlegs with Meatlug beside him.
Tuffnut says as he gets off the rock: "Besides if there were any Changewings near us, I would sense them." Unknown to the male twin a Changewing was right next to Tuffnut and he didn't know it for it was invisible. Soon it and two more Changewings reveals themselves all angrily looking at the intruders of their island. And just a quick as they appear they disappear.
Toothless sniffs the area, and recognizes the smell, Hiccup unaware of the chameleon like dragon's presents who reveals itself on a high ground stone formation. Toothless roars at the acid spiting dragon. Hiccup turns around and asks: "What is it bud?" He turns to see the Changewing who shoots acid at him, only to be nudged out of the way by Toothless, after which the Night Fury plasma shoots the Changewing who now started to hover and flies in for the attack.
Tuffnut runs until he runs into Barf and falls down. Meatlug fends off the attacking dragons with magma balls.
Scauldy was roaring as if he too wanted to fight. As the three Changewings close in ready for another attack, the Dragon Riders Hiccup and Fishlegs along with their dragons Toothless and Meatlug make their stance, Scauldy raises his head ready to fight even as Ruffnut raises her arms to keep him calm.
As the teenage Vikings and domesticated dragons and the one wild one stood against the three Changewings ready to fight. Tuffnut gets up and says with excitement in his voice: "Oh man, I must be dreaming. Because this is way cooler, than what was happening minutes ago." But before the camouflaging dragons could attack again, a stream of fire stops them in their tracks. Two of the Changewings disburse as Astrid and Snotlout comes in flying on their dragons.
Snotlout exclaims as Hookfang fires: "Wow! One Snotlout surprise coming up!" The third Changewing avoids being hit and so it flies off too.
As Scauldy snarls at the three Changewings who spits acid at him, but he dodges their attack. Soon they closely circle around him, Ruffnut was worried for her friend, but then she dodges one of the acid shots.
Astrid and Stormfly flies in front of a Changewing and says to her dragon: "Stormfly, spine shot, now!" With the command, the Deadly Nadder swings her tail and launches her spikes at the Changewing who avoids the launched spikes.
Snotlout on Hookfang also joins in the fight, Hookfang breaths fire at a Changewing who takes the hit unscathed. All three Changewings gathered up, but Toothless roars at them, the Chameleon like dragons realize they're out numbered and are forced to retreat, they even turned invisible for added protection.
As everyone sighs in relief, Scauldy roars and flaps his freed wing, as Ruffnut tries to calm him down. Astrid and Stormfly lands as does Snotlout and Hookfang, she questions them as she folds her arms: "What have I told you guys about playing with wild Changewings?" Hiccup replies to her: "Uh, we're trying to free Scauldy." The female warrior Viking questions still: "Scauldy?" The Viking Prince speaks still: "Well it was that or Scalding-painful-death-the-dragon."
Tuffnut raises his arm and says proudly: "Mine!" Fishlegs steps in and says: "Look, those Changwings are gonna be back with friends. Lots of them, so…" Hiccup finishes that sentence: "So, let's move these boulders. By the way have you heard from Optimus and his team?" Astrid answers: "We thought they were with you." Snotlout states given their past: "Well given how, trouble seems to follow them. I'd say they're up to their neck in some form of trouble." They turn to Snotlout but not knowing how right he is. Hiccup says in disbelief: "I can't believe I'm saying this, but given her track record I can see Optimus and the others and deep yak and dragon dung." He said then turns around to Ruffnut and says to her. "Ruff, you need to keep Scauldy focus on you and not us."
Ruffnut replies back to him while waving her arms in the air to Scauldy to be calm: "Okay!" She said then asks him. "Wait, how do I do that?"
Tuffnut answers: "Do your stupid Hiccup impression." He jokes but Ruffnut takes it seriously and says: "Oh yeah, good idea." She then begins to speak nasally like Hiccup. "Hello nice dragon. You can be my friend. My leg fell off. All the dragons are my friends."
Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs and Snotlout on their dragons flies over the Scauldy in a circle, Hiccup says correcting her: "I don't sound like that. And P.S. my leg didn't fall off. Try something else." Ruffnut still in confusion asks: "Like what?"
Tuffnut answers as Barf leans his head to his rider: "Try one of those songs mom use to sing when you were little and were afraid of the dark." He mockingly says at the end of his sentence, to which Ruffnut angrily replies: "You were afraid of the dark, not me! I was afraid of you!" She corrects her brother, to which the male twins demanding says: "Just sing!"
To which the female twin start to sing a lullaby: "(Singing) Hush little Viking, don't you cry, or the Berserker will stab you in the eye." This actually made Scualdy like it. "(Singing off key) Don't let the enemy see you afraid, or he's gonna gut with a rusty blade." She still continues to sing, as the Dragon Riders removed the stones off the wing. "If that dragon hears your mum, he's gonna mash up all your bones." Hearing that last part of the song he didn't like. "(Talking normally) Sorry about that. (Singing) I promise Scauldy if you don't kill me. My and I will will get you out to sea." Astrid removes the last stone, to which to Scauldy's surprise feeling his trapped wing now free, he roars loudly at Ruffnut that sends her flying.
Then Fishlegs says seeing the wing weakly flapping: "Oh no!" Hiccup adds reconciling the problem: "Oh, I see it too." He and Toothless swoops down, he dismounts from his dragon. "The wing is broken. Scauldy can't swim, or fly."
Ruffnut questions as she hugs Scauldy: "So we…we did all this for nothing?" Then the dragon raises it's head with her holding on.
Fishlegs says as he and Meatlug hovers over it circling it: "It looks like a simple break. We might be able to fix it." Snotlout jokingly asks: "With what? A giant Dragon Slit?" Even though it was a joke, Hiccup saying his joke might be a solution: "Exactly."
The muscular Viking retracts his joke making it look like it was a great idea: "I knew that. That's why I said it. Because it was my idea." Astrid scoffs, thinking he can't be serious.
Meanwhile Ruff was being crushed and she yells: "Anytime now!" Fishlegs says: "I'll contact Ratchet, see if he can help us. In the mean time, we need wood. The biggest pieces you can find." Astrid adds to the plan: "And we're gonna need something to secure the slits." She and Stormfly shoots up in the air.
Hiccup says as he walks to Toothless: "We could use the rope from my shield, but we'll need more. So bring any vines you can find." Fishlegs says to him: "Got it." Then he presses the comlink in his ear and says: "Ratchet, this is Fishlegs, we have an emergency."
At the Autobot base the medical officer says through the communication device: "What is it?" The plus size Viking answers: "We have a injured Scauldron it has a simply broken wing, and need your help. We're getting the equipment needed for a slit." Ratchet replies: "Say no more. I'll be there. Arcee! The female Autobot walks into and asks: "What is it Doc-bot?" The medical Robot says: "Fishlegs contacted me for aid of an injured Dragon, I'm opening the Groundbridge if either me or Optimus calls, you open the groundbridge." Arcee replies: "You got it."
With that, the Medical Autobot opens the groundbridge and enters through the portal. Then it closes, but coming through the communication device this time's Optimus voice, who says: "Ratchet, do you read?" Arcee says on his behalf: "Ratchet's preoccupied. Optimus, what's your status?"
On the island where Optimus, Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee are they finally managed to disarm Hardshell's communication device scrambler, both figuratively and literally. They took some serious hits, Ultra Magnus was holding on to Bee, as Optimus speaks to Arcee while holding on to Hardshell's arm and answers: "We finally destroyed the communication disruption device. Now we need to get off this island. Please open a groundbridge."
At the Autobot base she opens the groundbridge and on the other end the three Autobots went through and appears in the base, Arcee's eyes widened in shock and asks: "By the Matrix! What happened?" Bumblebee answers: ("We had a bit of a bug problem. And those bugs put up a fight."). Arcee understood what he meant but asks anyway: "Insecticons?" Ultra Magnus answers: "Pretty much. Where's the doctor?" The female Autobot answers: "He's out helping a injured wild dragon with Hiccup and his friends."
Optimus Prime finishes: "Well at least he's helping our allies. We'll just go laying down." The three wounded Autobots went down the hallway. Arcee nods and says: "What those three got into I will never know why."
At the Insecticons hive base, the Insecticons were under the healing advice of Taranulas, who says to them: "I get most of you. But Hardshell, you of all of us. How did you loose the arm?" He angrily asks his own leader who now needs a replacement arm. Hardshell answers irritated: "Those Autobots maybe weak, but somehow they overpowered and cut my own arm with the communication scrambling device." The tarantula Insecticon says in annoyance: "I warned you, attaching it too your arm was a bad idea." Waspinator says as he was bathing in a heal pool: "Wassspinator wassss in ssseruousss pain." Sharpshot adds as he his legs are put back in place: "I'll say Prime's aim's getting better. Which is annoying." Hardshell finishes: "They may have won the battle, but we shall win the war." He hisses as the Screaming Death coils around his fellow alpha who pets him.
Back with Ratchet analyzes the wound, using x-ray scopes and says: "It's a hairline fracture. The slits are a good idea, but we need to work fast." Hiccup says to the group: "You heard Ratchet let's move people!" Fishlegs finishes: "You got it." He ventures off to help find the items required.
Hiccup turns to Ruffnut and says to her: "And Ruffnut…" She interrupts and knowingly and annoyingly responds: "I know! I'm stuck on stupid dragon-sitting duty." This almost insulted Scauldy but she quickly retracted her words, "I didn't mean that."
Tuffnut openly questions: "Hey. What am I suppose to do?" He's tossed the shield and Hiccup answers: "Start pulling all the rope from the grappling hook in the bales. Be very carful…" He's interrupted by the male twin's incompetent where he triggers a mechanism from the shield knocking him out. "Mini-catapult." He finishes his sentence.
After gathering a long but large enough tree branch, Hiccup congratulates everyone: "Good job everyone." Ratchet agrees: "Indeed. This wood is strong enough to hold and isn't quit dead so the wood has deteriorate yet." Tuffnu walks up to Hiccup with his shield and says to him: "Here you go." Too which he apologizes: "And sorry about the catapult thing." The male twin replies not feeling angry: "Nah, it's okay. Just a hair trigger. I tightened up for you…" He spoke to soon for he got hit in the face by the same mini-catapult. Causing him to fall to the ground. "Just take it." He gives the shield back.
Hiccup announces to the group: "Okay, someone needs to be on look out for Changewings, while the rest of us work on the splint."
The muscular and annoying cousin raises his arm and says: "Astrid and I will go." He volunteers him and his so-called girlfriend who isn't really his girlfriend. "Alone by ourselves." This annoys her, especially as he pulls her close.
Hiccup and Ratchet tying the vines and rope, to the slits, Hiccup says without a care: "Knock yourselves out." Ratchet adds: "And be extremely careful. We all know Changewing are known for being highly aggressive especially towards intruders on their territory." He warns them.
Snotlout says to Astrid: "What? I'm just saying what you were thinking." She grabs the arm wrapped around her shoulder, removes it and flips him over. She then soldiers onward to keep her distance from him. "I'm coming. Okay, I'm coming." He raises his arm stating he'll follow.
Ruffnut still comforts Scauldy, as Hiccup, Ratchet and Toothless places the first slit on the front wing, Hiccup comments his dragon: "That's it bud. Good job." Ratchet alines it to fit the wing.
Fishlegs guides Barf and Belch who's carrying the second slit on the backend the wing. Fishlegs says to his friends: "Hiccup, Ratchet, I don't know if we have enough vines and rope." Hiccup replies as he and Ratchet tightened it up: "Well this will have to be enough." Ratchet adds in agreement: "He's right. Besides us medical professionals been through worse situations. I dealt with even lesser equipment." He closes a knot on the log to the wing.
Meanwhile Astrid and Snotlout on their dragons were keeping their eyes out for Changewings, but Snotlout was more focused on Astrid. The female Viking asks him: "You see anything?"
Snotlout replies with a cheesy pickup line: "Just two of the most beautiful eyes in the world, yours." She was still annoyed and now disgusted seeing him kiss his muscle arms.
Astrid facepalm herself now reaching her boiling point and says: "Okay. That's it. You won me over, Snotlout." She acting like she's taken a-liking to him. To his surprise seeing her acting like he's attractive, "Let's do this."
The Viking was now confused asks: "Do what?" To which the female warrior answers: "Be a couple. You and me. Together, forever." He was still confused, she leans in flying around and over him, "Seeing you for the first time ever."
Snotlout didn't like what she was doing as if he doesn't like being the one called out and exclaims: "Stop it! You're freaking me out!" To which unknown to him, his saddle loosens and he falls upside down still holding on to his dragon. Astrid flies up next to his upside down state and still tries to woo him: "But the clouds are reflective so beautifully in your mud brown eyes." She said pressing her head against his. The muscular Viking questions: "Clouds? What clouds?" She answers: "That one, right over…there." She tried to point to a cloud in the distance.
Hearing their roar in a distance, Snotlout says with fear in his voice: "I don't think that's a cloud." It truly a heard of Changwing dragons, 8 pf them. Astird says seeing them: "You're right. It's a heard of Changewings! Heading right for the beach! Let's ride, lover boy." She lips him right side up on his dragon. The two charges in to engage the enemy.
Back with the other Dragon Riders and one Autobot medic, they finishing the slits. Ruffnut still singing a lullaby but to speak her mind: "(off key siging) Hurry up guys and fix that wing! Because I've run out of things to sing! Hello?!"
Fishlegs tightens the vines and says in excitement: "I think it's gonna work."
Then Snotlout yells: "Coming in hot!" Hiccup knowing his cousin says: "This can't be good news." The muscular Viking and his Stoker class dragon comes flying in and lands in front of Hiccup, who says to him: "I don't understand women." Ratchet speaks to him: "That's understandable. The female sex is a strange and mysterious creatures. We can spend a thousand years studying them and they still surprise us." He explains, to which Astrid says: "I heard that! And we have behind us! About, five minutes out." She and Stormfly lands, Hiccup walks up to her and asks: "How many?" Astrid answers: "Enough they no longer need to bother camouflaging themselves."
They know the stakes are higher now. Hiccup turns to his friends asks: "Hu, Fishlegs? Ratchet?" The knowledgeable Viking says as he tightens the vine: "I got it!" Ratchet says on his end: "So have I!" But the vine's knot breaks, Fishlegs says regarding the vine: "Ah! It broke!" Ruffnut was now worried, Fishlegs tries to retie the vines, but he can't. "It won't reach! We need more rope!" He said in fear Ratchet says also frighten for their situation is dire: "There aren't any more rope!"
Then the Changewings comes in, Fishlegs runs to Meatlug and yells: "We're out of time! They're coming, they're coming!" Hiccup thinks there's nothing they can do, and says to Ruffnut: "Ruffnut, we have to go."
But she replies in defile: "No! Can't we all lift Scualdy? Can Ratchet summon that portal?" Hiccup answers: "Even if we wouldn't do him any good. He can't swim." Ratchet adds of what would happen: "And even if we could open a groundbridge, we can't risk having the Changewings enter through it." Ruffnut still refuses to leave Scualdy to die, even as Changewings, drew closer and closer.
The female twin presses her head against Scualdy's starring into each others eyes, Hiccup says: "Ruffnut." She still in defiance says: "No! I am not leaving him!" Tuffnut tries to reason with his sister, but Ratchet seeing this and says: "She's right. As a medical doctor I took a hypocritical oath never to abandon the wounded. I will not leave this dragon die by a pack of changewings!"
Scualdy was sensing the wild dragons coming in fast. Astrid says regarding the situation escalating: "Whatever we're doing, we better do it fast." The Scualdron knew and believe his fate was sealed, so he gently pushes Ruffnut away. He raises his head with a sad look and has accepted his fate.
Ruffnut tugs at her ponytails trying to figure a way, the Changewings were rapidly coming in. The female twin kept thinking but she then realized the solution was in her hands and attached to her scalp. Ruffnut says as she pulls out a dagger: "Wait! I have an idea!"
The changewings lands on the ground and begins closing in, they soon turned invisible to ambush their prey. And as soon as they approach the beach, the Dragons reappear, and pounces but their prey is gone, the only thing left is the very dagger, which one of the Changewings sniff, the other Changewings sniffs the footprints of Ratchet who all suddenly stop without a trace.
In the Autobot base, Ratchet exhales in relief and says: "That was a too close for comfort. But we managed to save Scauldy the Scualdron." Then Smokescreen enters and says: "I heard what you said. Scualdy hu? That's cute?" Arcee asks with her hands on her hips: "So how bad was it?" The medical officer answers: "Well the wing was injured but nothing that a couple of slits couldn't fix. That was the easy part, the hard part was finding long enough rope and vines but that didn't work. But luckily and surprisingly Ruffnut came up with an idea." Smokescreen also surprised questions: "Ruffnut? How she save the day this time?" Ratchet chuckles and says: "Surprisingly, the answer was literally attached to her head." He joked but in truth it was real
With the Dragon Rider, flying over the ocean with Scualdy swimming under them. Tuffnut turns to his sister with a smile, Ruffnut too was smiling, for she cut her own hair. She looks down to see her own ponytails became the rope needed to help secure the slits.
Hiccup apologies to Astrid: "Sorry, about sticking you with Snotlout today." To which Astrid replies accepting the apology: "It was that bad. Watch this." She turns to Snotlout, "Hey, sweetie Pie! Honey bunch! Snottykins!" She jokes even as Snotlout feels like he's gonna be sick. Snotlout pleads to Astrid: "Will you stop it already? You are grossing me out!" Hiccup agrees with his cousin: "Yeah you're grossing me out too."
He and Toothless flies closer to Ruffnut's side, "Ruff, you did good down there." Fishlegs comments her too: "You really did! That was awesome!" Tuffnut jokes to his sister: "You know what would've been more awesome?" Ruffnut hits her brother and answers: "Yeah! If it would've eaten me?" Tuffnut replies back to his sister: "I love it when you read my mind, sis." They headbutted in agreement.
Hiccup asks his friends: "You guys ready to head home? I believe Bulkhead's gonna love to hear the adventure of how Ruffnut cut her own hair to save a wounded dragon." The female twin says to the Viking Prince: "Hang on a minute!"
The twins fly close to the ocean surface, reaching her hand out, to which Scualdy raises his head out of the water pressing his snout against her hand, "I'm gonna miss you Scualdy. Look anytime you wanna visit. I'll just kick out Tuffnut to make room. No problem, okay?" The two bid their goodbyes. "Bye." Tuffnut asks his sister regarding her new appearance: "Has anyone ever told you look like a boy?" Ruffnut replies with a question: "Has anyone ever told you?" The twins fly back to the group.
As for Scualdy he swims forward following the sunset, his destination is unknown even to him. Unknown adventures waits for him.
Here's the latest chapter.
