Here is my latest chapter, and great news. I got my mojo back, I've been slowly loosing my muse to write. I guess I just lost the fun of writing, but it's back. I guess I've been pushing to finish faster but less progress, but that's done.
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.
It was a snowy time on Berk, winter came and is coming hard. A terrible terror flies to the academy and huddles together with other terrible terrors to keep warm in this harsh time.
Inside one of the stalls, Hiccup teaches his fellow riders, as he draws a image of Toothless on a stone tablet to explain: "…So as you can see, by the chart, proper wing control can be achieved by…" He's interrupted by a fire-ball hitting his tablet behind him, which frustrates and irritates him, "Okay, who shot that fire-ball?"
Snotlout whistles acting innocent but Hookfang has smoke coming out of his mouth making them guilty. Snotlout still playing innocent questions: "Why you looking at me?" Hiccup still irritated with his arms folded says to him and the others: "Come on guys, I don't wanna be here anymore than you do. Can we just get back to training, please?" The Viking prince's cousin says differently: "I say we play 20 questions instead. Anyone? Anyone?" He asks everyone, and begins first, "Astrid, would you love me so much?" She replies by almost throwing up in her mouth but luckily she swallows it down.
The male twin says eagerly: "Me, me, me! Ok, I'll go first. Question number 1…" He slapped by Hookfang's tail and falls down. "How do you play 20 questions?" He asks regarding on how to play a simple game.
Hiccup asks his friends: "Hu! We can we try to stay focus, even for a second?" Then the female warrior with her axe in hand says: "We've been stuck inside for a week's straight, because of this crazy weather. We're all starting to go a little nuts. But I bet the Autobots are holding up in their base." She states their sanity situation, for example Fishlegs is rubbing his dragon's foot, while saying: "Oh Mr. Pinky, don't tell the others. But you're my favorite." He giggles, which still irritates Hiccup.
Then the Hideous Zippleback notice their tails for once, Ruffnut laughs and says: "Barf and Belch, just found out they have tails!" The two headed dragon begins to spin around chasing their tails. "It looks like they really hate that idea." The male twin agrees with his sister: "Yeah. I felt the same way when I found out, I have a tail." He turns to his rear end and starts chasing while Ruffnut laughs. "Can't hide from me, invisible tail. I'll get you!" She walks up towards Hiccup.
Ruffnut whispers to Hiccup closely: "I may have told Tuff he has a tail." As the male twin continues to chase his so-called tail, just then the door opens, which causes Hiccup to cover his face to block him from the cold air. The person who opened the door was Stoick who closes it as quickly as he opens it, he then turns around and exclaims: "Odin's ghost! It's cold out there. Worst freeze in the history of Berk. My beard is frozen solid." He said rubbing his beard to demonstrate its frozen as ice.
Hiccup asks his dad: "So father, what brings you to the academy?" The Viking chief answers his son's question: "Trader Johan has reported to port. If he's trapped out in this storm, he won't last through the night. I wish…" Hiccup says eagerly wanting to go: "Oh yes, I can go!" He walks toward Toothless, and places his hand on his dragon. "You know Toothless can find Johan's ship in the darkness. He is the perfect dragon for the job." He stated as he and Toothless smiled and wanting to go.
Stoick didn't feel comfortable about this idea even speaks: "I don't know…" The young Viking prince begging his father: "Please dad, if you ever cared for me at all. As a father cared for his son, than you'll let me leave." He points to his team, who looks a bit disoriented, Hookfang was fighting with Barf's tail, as Ruff pushes Tuffnut and he falls backward onto Astrid who pushes him to the ground, and Fishlegs is still cuddling up to Meatlug's pinky toe.
Stoick begrudgingly sighs, he leaves and says: "Bolt the door behind you, when you leave, please." Hiccup excited says: "Yes!"
At the Autobot base, Team Prime's working hard to stay warm, Arcee says feeling freezing cold: "By the beard of Alpha Trion! It's colder than Cybertron going dark!" She tries to warm herself. The base itself loaded with heating technology, the rest of the Autobots were also trying to stay warm. "Ah! Is anyone home?" She asks openly as Bumblebee emerges from the hallway.
Bumblebee walks up to her and says to her: "(Hi Arcee, I know it's freezing outside. It's as bad as the time where the animals were afraid of us and the dragons. We also gotten word Hiccup's going to search for Trader Johan.)." Arcee questions this news: "In this weather? I hope he'll be okay." Bumblebee reassures her: "(Don't worry. If I know Hiccup, he'll find Johan and be back before you know it.)." She knew Hiccup will be alright, but still in this weather, it's worse than the last one where everyone was snowed out in. Arcee says to her friend: "I know, I need to put more trust in our human allies." Bumblebee finishes: "(Come. We got some warm energon.)". The two Autobots walks down the hallway for drink, unknown to them, on one of their monitors screen, a blurr vision passes through on go faster than the human or robotic eye could see.
Elsewhere out on the open ocean, Hiccup riding on Toothless soars through the air search for Johan. Hiccup feeling the cold and as the sun begins to set, he says to Toothless, Pretty dark out here. Bud, do your thing." The Night Fury uses echo-location to find Johan's ship even as the sea beings to make ice bridge.
Hiccup sees it and openly says: "Wow. Look at that." They continue to fly over the said ice bridge. I never seen the ocean frozen sold. No wonder Trader Johan can't get to port. No one can get through this." He spoke to his dragon as they flew over the ice bridge. Then the Night Fury begins to growl, as a chirping sound is made, in front of them is a cloud on the ice bridge and inside the cloud is odd creatures running at incredible speeds. "Wow!" Hiccup said seeing the creatures inside the cloud as it passes under them. "I don't know what that was bud. But I'm glad I'm glad we're up here, and it's down there."
Toothless roars again using echo location. "Found something?" He asks his dragon friend again, who roars in responds. "Let's take a better look." The flies off in the setting sun's direction.
Soon it was night, Toothless still using echo location to search for Trader Johan. Hiccup's eye's adjust to the night darkness and sees Johan's ship stuck in the ice. "There he is!" The two flys low to the the ship.
Trader Johan waving his arms to gain Hiccup's attention. As the Viking Prince and Night Fury hovered over the ship, the trader speaks to him: "Master Hiccup, you're a welcome site for these wary eyes." Hiccup smiles helping out a friend of Berk.
Trader Johan rode back behind Hiccup as he regales his stories: "In all my years on the briny deep. I never witness a breeze quit like this one. Ice as thick as Thor's hammer. I even considered of abandoning my ship and traveling to Berk on foot." The Viking prince reassures his merchant friend: "Well, you won't have to worry about that now, Johan. Just enjoy the ride." The Merchant repays his kindness with stories: "Excellent, we shall pass the time with stories of my grand adventures." He said feeling pride of his past, "That are sure to warm your heart, and stoke the fires of your imagination."
Neither wanted to hear the stories but they didn't want to be rude neither, so they just bite the bullet on this one. "Did I ever tell you, about the time I found myself up against the man-eating metal masons monory momjory?" He explains the story as they flew heading to Berk as the sun was rising.
Time passed as Johan continues to tell stories, this latest one ending in a joke and misunderstanding…"But it wasn't a yak. It was his daughter!" He laughs hard the mistake he made. "I can't believe! She looked like a yak, and her name was Yakmin! And that, master Hiccup is how the king of Enuden made me an honorary member of his royal court." They were drawing closer to Berk which was in seeing distance away, Hiccup says to Johan: "Oh, look we're here. (Undertone) Thank Odin." He was gettinh sick of the stories and Toothless were growing tired for flying through the night.
As they land in the village, the prince and merchant dismount off of the Night Fury, to see no one was around to greet them. Toothless growls going into defense stance waiting for an enemy.
The village was a ghost town, no sound but the wind itself. Johan says regarding to the silence: "Not the welcome I'm accustomed to. But none the less." Hiccup openly asks: "Where is everyone?" The merchant remembering another adventure related to this: "This reminds me of the time I landed on the island of the red…" Hiccup stops him, then he calls out: "Hello?" The only responds was his own echo. "Anyone?" Still no responds.
Toothless sees bags of potatoes and a wagon of apples, some were on the ground. He walks to the dropped fruit to smell there's anything wrong.
The two humans walk and Hiccup sees a mug outside his house. Hiccup still confused and questions: "Dad?" He opens his house's door to see a fire place burning wood but nobody inside. He sees another mug on the ground in a puddle of water, he picks it up and feels something is wrong. Toothless was behind him and he too notice something was wrong.
The two humans and the dragon still searches the village hoping to find a source of life even livestock. They looked around even entering people's houses to see if they're home.
Hiccup looks inside a barrel at the academy thinking someone could be hiding in there. He notice the one of the doors to the old stables is unlocked, he opens it too find emerging from the shadows is a few terrible terrors who flies away even passing Hiccup who covers his face.
Inside was the last place his Dragon Riders were, but no sign of them either. It is as if everyone vanished without a trace, no footprints, no sign no clues.
Hiccup openly asks regarding this strange occurrence: "What in the name of Thor is going on?"
The Viking prince riding on Toothless, returns to the Merchant and says to him: "Johan, anything?" Trader Johan answers: "The whole town, Master Hiccup. It's empty." Hiccup agrees with him and says as he rubs his chin: "I know. It's very weird." Johan telling of his expression: "I don't like this one bit." They press onward looking for signs of life.
As Johan explains another adventure regarding of a man who says he was warlock, but as he regales, Hiccup heard something, he looks to his right to see movement in a house. He mounts on his dragon, and says to him: "Let's go Toothless. Johan, stay here." He opens the door to see the place ransacked, there's food and furniture on the floor and a fire place still burning wood. Unknown to him someone was lurking in the shadows, then a creaking so is made, Hiccup looks up and someone body slams him to the floor.
Trade Johan was outside and heard the loud thud noise, he says out loud: "Master Hiccup! Don't worry sir! I'm comin…" before he could finish the sentence a small gas grenade lands in front of his feet, "What the?" Then it explodes releasing a deafening sound and smoke, he was knee down he looks up to see Arcee reaching her hand out and says to him: "Come with me if you want to live. And you should really think about that if thing, it's a real ghost town out here." The Norseman merchant doesn't argue but takes her hand.
Back inside the house, Hiccup was unconscious, but is slowly waking up,and sees his dragon looking down at him, Hiccup says weakly: "Toothless?" Then popping in between them is Fishlegs which startles. "Wow! Don't ever do that again." The large body Viking says quickly as he hugs him tightly: "Hiccup! Oh thank Thor! I'm so sorry I fell on you!" Hiccup says through the pain: "Ok, Fishlegs!" The two break the hug, but more like Fishlegs drops Hiccup and historically says: "They were fast, like really fast. Too fast, speedy. Oh and their sting, paralyzing sting." He said from the shock of what happened.
Hiccup gets back up and says to him trying to understand his friend's words: "Wow, wow, wow. Hold on Fishlegs. What are you talking about?" Arcee answers from behind that gain his attention: "We were hit Hiccup." The Viking Prince was surprised to see Arcee, and says to her: "Arcee? Where is everyone? And what do you mean we were hit?" The female Autobot says to him: "We got hit by an invading force, they were too fast for us and our sensors. One managed to slip pass us without us knowing." Hiccup still confused asks: "What attacked us? What could be that fast?" Arcee turns to Fishlegs and says to him: "Tell him Fishlegs."
They turn to the knowledgeable Viking who answers the name of the said enemy: "Speed Stingers." He spoke with fear in his voice. Hiccup repeats the name: "Speed Stingers? Here?" Arcee answers with anger: "Yes. They attacked us without warning." Fishlegs tells how the attack happened: "It all started just after nightfall." He spoke still traumatized from the nightmarish even from last night.
Flashback of the events, in the middle of the snow and heavy wind. Stoick and Gobber walked into town patrolling the village. Fishlegs in the background explaining the story: "They don't fly but they're fast." Then all the torches goes in the split of a second, shich catches the attention of Stoick who also hear strange noise. "Faster than any dragon I have ever seen." As Stoick pulls out his sword, ready to fight. "And they hide in the shadows. They're scavengers looking for any food they can find." The villagers ran for their lives but some were stung and were instantly paralyzed and wee frozen like statues.
Bucket tries to fight the speedy dragons, but he too was paralyzed and they were so fast they made his bucket spin. "One chew off of their venom could paralyze a human or dragon in an instant." Arcee's voice explains her side: "By the time we reached the village, it was too late. And we couldn't shoot them, for they moved too fast. Luckily their venom nor their stingers could effect us, but it still make our job easier."
As a Deadly Nadder runs for it's life and hides, only for three Speed Stingers to corner it, in it's hiding spot. Fishlegs' voice continues to explain: "They live in a pack, following a leader. Who directs them like a war chief." The three Speed Stinger were now with their leader who was a inches taller then the average Speed Stinger with a red colored fin on the back of his head and red stripes all over his body like a tiger or a zebra's stripes. They raises their tails and quickly strike quickly paralyzing the Nadder without mercy.
As Snotlout screams and runs to Hookfang, he jumps into the air only to be paralyzed as well. After falling down Hookfang grabs by his neck collar and flies off protecting his rider from the invading dragons. "By the time Stoick ordered everyone to the Cove. The entire village have been overrun." Stoick protecting his people as do the Autobot aiming their weapons at the speedy dragons who were too fast for them to aim or hit.
In the present where Hiccup is concern for his people, and asks: "Well, where are the Speed Stingers now?" Fishlegs inhales and exhales still in fear: "I don't know. The sun came up and they just disappeared." He walks up to the fire place to warm himself up. Arcee says to Hiccup: "After that we managed to get the people both safe and paralyzed people there. We had to carry them a few at a time." She explained to Hiccup that his people are safe at least.
Fishlegs says to Hiccup even though they're safe for now: "But they'll be back. They come out at night." He said ominously for these dragons are relentless.
Hiccup still confused and asks: "I-I-I don't understand. Why did you two come back here? Why not stay with everyone at the cove?" Fishlegs turns around but doesn't answer with words but showing why.
Up on top of a house Meatlug was frozen in place. Fishlegs answers now: "Just look at her up there. So majestic." Arcee adds her reasons: "I stayed with Fishlegs incase he needed protection. Just to be clear." Hiccup openly asks feeling obviously to not notice Meatlug: "How did I miss that?" The large body Viking explains how she was paralyzed: "She try to draw them away, so I could escape. I couldn't leave her." Arcee places her hand on Fishlegs' should understanding his loyalty of his dragon.
Trader Johan walks up to the group and asks the same question Hiccup asked earlier: "How did we miss that?"
Then Fishlegs and Johan tries to move Meatlug off the roof even with Arcee's help it was difficult for her to be moved. "So, she eats rocks you say?" Johan asks, as he pushes from the rear end. "That makes sense." Arcee speaks in agreement: "Yeah, that's why she weighs a few tons." Then Meatlug farts. Which both Arcee and Johan gets a wif of, Johan says regarding the stench: "Oh dear! That's quite an effect." He passes out from the stench. Arcee smiles to herself and says: "Thank Primus, I don't have a nose." She said, and started to push the paralyzed Gronckle.
Fishlegs says regarding the fart: "Movement! This is very good. It means the paralysis is only temporary. Come on and help Hiccup." The Viking Prince and the Night Fury climbs up to the roof, Hiccup asks about Johan: "Where is Johan?"
The trader replies in a wagon: "I'm okay boy! I actually landed on me fluffy bits." Arcee says to him: "That's good to know, but I'll have Ratchet check you for any sever injuries." Johan replies: "Thank you Lady Arcee."
Hiccup asks Fishlegs and Arcee as he touches Meatlug's eye lid: "Fishlegs, Arcee, what's the deal with this paralysis? How long does it last?" The knowledgeable Viking answers: "I don't know Hiccup. There nothing about it, in the Book of Dragons or Borg's papers." Arcee adds: "And we couldn't grab one of the Speed Stingers. Otherwise we could've used it." The dragon riding prince is confused and asks: "Why? Why do you need one of those things?" The female Autobot answers: "From what Ratchet, understood some reptiles that has venom would probably have an anti-venom in case they ran into someone of the same species but from a different pack." Then Hiccup sees the pro behind it and says: "Well that would make sense. So by using the anti-venom to free the victims from the paralysis."
Fishlegs looks out at the sea, and openly asks Hiccup: "How do you think the Speed Stingers got here? They can't fly." Hiccup answers remembering what her out flying while searching for Johan: "If I had to guess. I would say, it was because the ocean was frozen solid. Creating an ice bridge from their island to ours. We need to get to the cove, right away." Arcee finishes: "Don't worry. And with Johan in that wagon, it'll make getting Meatlug there a lot quicker. Heads up Johan!" They push Meatlug off the roof, Johan didn't move in time so she ended up falling on top of him in the wagon. "I did say heads up." Said Arcee to her friends.
In the forest, as Toothless pulls the wagon with Meatlug in it, the two Viking teenagers and trader were side to side by the wagon, Arcee aims her right arm gun to ensure that no Speed Stinger or other wild dragon would attack them.
Hiccup enters the cove and sees his people all frozen in paralysis, the only ones not infected are the Autobots who are armed with blaster rifles. As he climbs down, he sees Bumblebee who walks to him, Hiccup says to his friend: "Bee, thank Thor you and the other Autobots are safe." Bumblebee beeping replies: ("Yeah. Those things came out of no where."). Hiccup says to him: "I take it, you and the others weren't effected by the venom." The Autobot scout answers: ("No. Just a couple of scratches but they couldn't penetrate our Autobot alloy.") He said to his friend reassuring him.
Hiccup walks through his paralyzed people, seeing them like statues frozen in a state of running, helplessness and fear. Among the victims he sees Ratchet analyzing one of the victims in hoping to find a way to reverse the effects. Then he looks up, seeing Bulkhead, Smokescreen and WheelJack forming a permitter guard post, while Optimus and Ultra Magnus are talking of what their next move should be.
Ultra Magnus says to his leader: "Sir, with all do respect. We should send in Bumblebee to search for the Speed Stinger dragons." Optimus protest against the idea: "As understand as it may be. But this island is big, there's too many caves for us to find them. We need to protect the humans. They're more vulnerable in this state." The second in command argues: "Sir, if we do nothing we might be putting them even more at risks." They argued for a while, Hiccup avoids getting involved with them.
He turns and was in shock to see Stoick in a battle stance with sword in hand standing on a rock. Hiccup speaks to his father: "Dad." He spoke simply, then looks down to see Thornado standing beside his rider. Then Gobber walks up to him and says: "He gave as good as he got Hiccup. It took six of those Speed Stingers to freeze the pour bugger." Stoick couldn't move but grunts trying to speak. "You betcha chief."
Hiccup asks the blacksmith: "What did he say?" Gobber answers to the Viking Prince by whispering: "No clue. Don't want to make him feel worse than he already does."
Hiccup feeling remorse says openly: "I should've been here. Toothless and I could've helped." Gobber says to his young friend: "Nonsense boy, there were too many of them. Nothing would've mattered. Not even the Autobots' machines were enough. Tell you one thing though; those Stingers would be denying on smoke sturgeon and yak jerky tonight if it weren't for your father." The paralyzed Viking chief grunts a little trying speak. "Couldn't agree with you more Stoick." He raises his arms still don't know what he's saying.
Optimus ending his arguments with Ultra Magnus for now, to talk to Hiccup: "Gobber's right Hiccup. He made a heroic stand against the Speed Stingers. He kept them from getting the food, but even a might man such as him, couldn't stand against their venom. But I helped defend the food until the sun rise." He spoke to Hiccup of his father's last stand.
Then Astrid's voice yells: "Hiccup!" They turned around to see her rushing towards them she hugs Hiccup relieved he's alright. The two breaks the hug and his asks her: "Oh Astrid. How's everyone else?" The teenage Viking girl answers: "Everyone's fine." She then folds her arms together, "Well except for…"
She was pointing to Snotlout who is still paralyzed and the twins are taking advantage of the situation where they use his arms against him. Ruffnut smacks Snotlout while saying: "Oh, stop hitting yourself." Tuffnut joins in, making Snotlout slap himself while saying: "Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself." Ruffnut then rubs his face, "Stop picking your own nose."
As the three Vikings and Autobot leader watches, Astrid says with a smile: "Actually, when you stop to think about it, it's really not so bad." Then Ruffnut says to Snotlout: "Oh, come on! Your face isn't that ugly." But then she make Snotlout do something that would've probably hurt.
Ratchet grunts in frustration, and openly says: "Uh! I can't work with this!" Hiccup and Optimus walks up him and, the Viking prince asks: "What's wrong Ratchet?" The medical Autobot answers: "I can't seem to work around this paralyzing venom." Optimus says to him: "I know old friend. It can't be helped." Hiccup says to Ratchet: "Arcee said you needed on of the Speed Stingers alive, right? Why?" Ratchet explains to the dragon riding Viking Prince: "If I had at least one of them, I could create an anti-venom. The same way like snakes, when some creatures that possess venom would have a anti-venom." Hiccup understands what Ratchet was saying.
As the sun was setting, Hiccup was sitting on the ground where his father stood, he draws in the dirt with a stick of a Speed Stinger. Then Astrid walks up to him and says: "It's going to be dark soon. The Speed Stingers will com for the rest of the food. Everyone wants to know, what are we going to do." Hiccup stays silent for a moment, he looks up to his dad for inspiration then says: "Gather the other Dragon Riders, and get Arcee and Bee. We're heading out." As Astrid goes to rally the troops, he wipes away the dirt drawing of the Speed Stinger.
As Hiccup with Toothless by his side, Astrid says to Hiccup: "Okay, we're ready." Hiccup explains his plan: "Guys, these dragons only come out at night. So, we need to find where they sleep during the day." He said stating what the dragons are capable of doing and what they must do, "The only problem is, we need to find their nest, before sun down, or…" Astrid interrupts with a question: "Can we not think about the or, please?" Fishlegs agreeing with Astrid: "Yeah, they came out of nowhere. Like a pack of wild badgers. Scavenging…and…and…" Tuffnut finishes the sentence: "And badgeging." They all turn to Tuffnut with a confused look. "What? That's what a badger does. It badges." Arcee protests against Tuffnut: "Those are not even words."
Hiccup says to both: "Well thanks for that you two. Also while we're searching, Optimus and the rest of Team Prime will protect and guard our people and our food. Now then, let's go." But before they could go, Snolout's voice says: "Hold up! You're not going on a Stinger hunt without me." They all turn to see Snotlout's mouth moving, and he struggles to move himself, he even thrust himself on his own two feet with nothing but his neck.
Tuffnut says feeling disturbed by that: "Wow! That is seriously creepy." Bumblebee agrees: ("You got that right Tuff. I didn't even know he could do that."). The knowledgeable Viking says: "His paralysis is wearing off. Lucky us." He spoke under his voice. Astrid says to her annoying acquaintance: "Snotlout, unless your plan on flying Hookfang with your teeth. You're not going anywhere." To which he replies: "What do you mean? I'm fine." He tries to move his body by the strength of the neck, but ends up falling down.
Snotlout mutters to himself: "Stupid arms, and stupid legs." Then his former prodigy walks by him, "Hey Gustolf! Get your but over here."
As Astrid pulls her axe off a barrel, they turned around to see the paralyzed member of the team standing behind them, he then salutes them. "Snotlout Jorgensen reporting for duty." He acts like a soldier, the group was confused until Hiccup bends down to see their young friend helping out. Gustolf says as he raises Snotlout's arm: "I'm Snotlout's arms and legs Hiccup." He said with a smile of pride. "And together we are…" He waves Snotlout's arms like jazz hands and both say at the same time: "Gustloud!" Then Snotlout orders Gustolf: "Stop with the hands."
This made Hiccup confused even more. "Hiccup, you need as much dragon power as you can get." He tries to explain his cousin. Astrid begrudgingly says in agreement with Snotlout: "I can't believe I'm actually about to say this. But he's right." Hiccup in disbelief of his own girlfriend asks her: "You kidding right?" The female Viking says to the Prince: "You heard what Gobber said, Hiccup. There are hundred of them." He realizes he's out voted and so reluctantly agrees: "Oh alright, fine." The partially paralyzed teenage exclaims: "Yes! Move my arm." His helping friend raises his right arm with a thumbs up.
Hiccup orders his teammates: "Let's split up and search Berk, for any possible Speed Stinger hideouts." He said to his teammates. Gustolf raises Snotlout's arm with a thumbs up and says personally: "Okey-dokey, Hiccup." He struggles to move Snotlout to Hookfang.
Hiccup turns to Fishlegs and asks him: "Fishlegs, Ratchet how's Meatlug doing?" Ratchet answers Hiccup's questions: "Well we have some good news and bad news." Fishlegs adds with enthusiasm: "Good news; She's rearing to go, Hiccup. Look at here." He points her slowly regaining her ability to move, but with some difficulty. Ratchet continues: "Unfortunately she can't fly fully. Her lower half of her body is a lot heavier, and the wings aren't fluttering fast enough to lift her off the ground." They see her crashed into a stone wall.
Astrid walks up to Hiccup and asks: "So, what is the actual plan?" The Viking prince answers by turning to his friend: "Fishlegs, you said they follow their leader in a giant pack, right?" Fishlegs nods yes and answers: "Exactly. That's what I saw." Ratchet rubs his chin and agreeably adds: "It would make sense. Large group of animals needs leadership to coordinate their attacks against helpless foes. But without it, there be chaos among their ranks." Hiccup speak simply of his plan: "So the plan is; find the Speed Stingers, capture their leader, and use it to lure them away." The group understood it, Hiccup turns around to see his father's paralyzed warrior stance.
Optimus walks up to Hiccup and says to him: "Hiccup, I advised against this earlier. But since you now have efficient numbers. Finding the Speed Stingers will be easier than us finding them." The Viking Prince says to the last Prime: "Thanks Optimus. I'm counting on you and the others to watch over our people." Optimus answers: "We will protect them, with our lives." He promised to his young human friend. The boy and his friends set out to find the Speed Stingers' lair.
In a cave Astrid rode on Stormfly as Arcee in vehicle mode, using their fire and lights to search for the Speed Stingers, but to no avail.
In the forest, Fishlegs rode on Meatlug who's still getting over her paralyzing venom, but it's taking a while, she drools lava our of her mouth as she tries to keep herself and her rider in the air.
Fishlegs says to his dragon: "It's okay. It's okay, you're doing your best." But she begins to spin around, and Fishlegs gets hit by a tree branch causing him to fall off and hits a couple of large rock and lands in some bushes. He quickly gets back up and continues his searches for the Speed Stingers.
In the tunnels where the Insecticons and Whispering deaths and Screaming death made, Bumblebee searches every know place connected to the tunnels thinking they'd be down there. In robot mode and with headlights on he searches but no clues or tracks.
In the village, the twins searches for the Speed Stingers, Tuffnut armed with a sword and Ruffnut armed with a spear. They've searched two houses, on the third one Tuffnut goes in first, them Ruffnut pokes him with her spear. He screams in pain and exclaims: "Ah! I've been stung! I can't feel my tail." The female twin just laughs are her brother's miner level of intelligence. "When this paralysis where's off, you're dead." He threatens his sister.
Flying on Hookfang is Snotlout and Gustolf, the older Viking orders his co-pilot: "Ok, up. Up! Up is where the sky is, down in where the land is." The young boy tries to stir but can't see to go up or down, and says to Snotlout: "I can't see Snotlout, your head's too big." Then the boy gentaly kicks the neck sides, which causes Hookfang to fly up into the air and fly upside down, causing Snotlout to fall off his dragon. As he screams he falls into a hole. Snotlout muffles said in the hole: "There will be definitely repercussions for this." Unknown to Snotlout he may have found an entrance to a cave that could be where the Speed Stingers are.
Back at the cove, Bulkhead, Smokescreen and WheelJack blocks the cove entryway with a large bolder. Bulkhead says to his fellow Autobots: "This stone should block them. This is the only way in and out." Smokescreen asks him: "What about Hiccup and the others? There's only a few hours till sundown." WheelJack says knowing their experience: "I think they could handle them. Besides they faced worse than Speed Stingers." He said with full confidence in their allies.
In the center of town, the Dragon Riders and two Autobot scouts regrouped. Hiccup asks everyone in their reports: "So, anything?" Astrid answers: "Not a single stinger." Arcee adds in agreement: "We searched up and low, not even a foot print." Fishlegs also adds in agreement: "Us neither." Bumblebee reports too: "Not even in the Insecticons and Whispering deaths' tunnels." Tuffnut states his report: "I got stung." His sister says to him: "No you didn't!" Hiccup asks openly: "Have we checked every cave?" Snotlout's expression where his eyes widen and feels like he didn't do something and is choosing to not say anything.
But his cousin knows him and asks him: "Snotlout? Did you check your caves?" To which the muscular Viking teen answers: "(Scoffs) Really? I'm insulted Hiccup. Of course I did. You think I fell off my dragon and spend hours trying to get out of the sand?" He plays it off as a joke, "I didn't." But Gustolf tells the truth: "He fell off his dragon we spent hours trying to get out of the sand." Snotlout angrily says to the boy: "Gustolf, make me punch you!" He instead makes him hit himself. Arcee says to Gustolf: "You are a good boy, Gustolf." Meanwhile the twins laugh, Tuffnut says regarding the self smacking: "Never gets old."
Hiccup says to his team: "Well then, we know where to look. Let's go." The Dragon Riders flies up into the air, the two Autobots transforms into vehicle mode and follows them.
As the sun sets, Astrid on Stormfly carrying a cage, as they flew towards the cave and land at the entrance, but the Autobots stood. The two scouts transforms their arms into blasters ready to fight the Speed Stingers.
The Viking Prince dismounts from Toothless, removes his shield from his back, turns to his cousin and says to the boy behind him: "Thanks Gustolf, you stay here with Snotlout and Hookfang." The Viking with paralyzing venom raises his arm giving a thumbs up saying: "Right!" He saw him moving his own arm. "(Laughing) Hey! I did that by myself!" But his moment of joy is short lived for Tuffnut on Belch leans and up shoves Snotlout's thumb into his nose.
Bumblebee beeps to Hiccup: ("Be careful Hiccup. They maybe sleeping, but once they awake…"). Hiccup cautiously says: "I know Bee. Ok gang, we have to move fast. Because it will be sun down soon, and we need to get that lead Stinger out of there. Without him, the pack is useless." The sun was mere moments away of going down.
The Viking teenagers slowly enter the cave as the Speed Stingers sleep. Hiccup, Fishlegs and Toothless soldiers on, but Fishlegs stops, whispers: "Hiccup, there he is." The Alpha Speed Sting hangs upside down on a stalactite. Hiccup uses his shield that launches a bolas wrapping around the alpha Stinger without waking him. Hiccup simply says: "Got em."
Toothless jumps on a stalagmite, grabs the alpha and slowly places it on the ground. The Night Fury smiles at his good work Hiccup returns the small smile.
Arcee looks up to see the clouds over the sun, and she says to everybody: "Gang, get your weapons ready. I think we have less than 15 minutes left till the sun goes down." Astrid with her battle axe, Gustolf hiding behind Snotlout, the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut armed with a spear and sword, Bumblebee aims his gun arm.
The Viking Prince and large bodied Viking drags the Alpha Speed Stinger with a rope, it makes a groaning noise, which causes them to stop thinking it's away, but it was a false alarm. They continued to drag the dragon, unknown to them the rest of the Speed Stinger pack wakes up.
Almost reaching the end of the cave, Fishlegs turns to see the alpha's eyes opening. Fishlegs fearfully says: "Hu, Hiccup?" The prince turns to see the Alpha Speed Stinger awakening, as the rest of the pack begins to slowly porches the cave entryway.
Hiccup rushingly says as they drag it still but faster now: "Get this stinger into the cage, right away." But then the Alpha frees itself, breaking the rope and retaliates against the Dragon riding prince. It tries to sting Hiccup who dodges the attack, Toothless breath plasma shots but the speedy dragon dodges the attack.
The bigger Speed Stinger calls for his pack for aid. They were about to exit the cave but Bumblebee and Arcee fires at them, stopping them in their tracks. Then a fire stream of fire that blocks the only way out, the fire came from Hookfang, Snotlout and Gustolf. The now freed from the paralyzing venom, Snotlout chants: "That's right! Snotlout, Snotlout! Oi, oi oi!" But it was short lived for one Speed Stinger escaped the fire and jumps and stings Snotlout in the rear end. He says as he freezes again: "Ho come on!"
Hookfang kept breathing fire blocking the cave's only way in or out. As for the alpha, Toothless challenges him. The two dragons circles each other, Fishlegs shouts out: "He's too fast Hiccup!" The prince disagreeable replies: "Not for a Night Fury!" Bumblebee adds: ("He's right. This Sting wants a fight. He's gonna get more than he bargained for.").
The two dragons clashed, the Speed Stinger goes for the strike first but misses, Toothless retaliates by plasma shooting. Then it turns it's attention to Hiccup and tries to sting him, but it's blocked by the shield. The alpha uses it's tail to remove the shield, sending it flying in the air, only to be caught by Toothless who catches it with his mouth and throws it back to Hiccup who catches it with ease. Hiccup says to his dragon: "Thanks bud."
Toothless and the Alpha Speed Stinger is still fighting. He chases on the mountain wall and fires plasma shots but misses.
As for the pack, the fire summer down, and two Speed Stingers are able to pass through it. The two freed ones rushes to their leader's side who roars for his pack, who all hops over the fire.
Hiccup mounts on Toothless and yells: "Astrid! Follow us!" The Viking Prince and the Night Fury takes to the sky, the female warrior follows and says to him: "I think I know where you're going with this."
Arcee says to them: "Well whatever you're doing, do it fast!" She fires at the Speed Stingers causing them to keep their distance as does Bumblebee. They cornered them keeping them away from their leader.
Hiccup and Toothless fires at the alpha Stinger. The leading Speed Stinger turns to Astrid and Stormfly, the female Viking says: "Stormfly, time to spike that stinger." Stormfly readies her spikes and launches them, the Speed Stinger dodges them but in doing so he enters the cage, Toothless fire at the cage door, and it locks into place. Hiccup exclaims: "Yes! Got em!" Stormfly stood on top of the cage, while Hiccup, Fishlegs and their dragons were side to side by the cage.
The rest of the pack sees their alpha in danger, all charges out swarming all over the Dragon Riders and two Autobots. They covered their faces to protect themselves, Astrid says regarding the wild dragons: "There's too many of them! We're surrounded!" Bumblebee exclaims: ("We need reinforcements!"). He beeped, but then a sonic roar is made, coming from Thornado being rode by Stoick causing the, to disburse. Just then, engine sounds are made, coming up from the cliffside is Optimus, Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen in vehicle mode only to transform into robot mode before landing on the beach, and more engine noises are made as Bulkhead and WheelJack enters the beach in robot mode already. Bulkhead clashes his fist together and says: "Let's rumble!"
The whole team gathered, Hiccup says to his father and the leader of the Autobots: "Dad, you're okay. And I see you brought Optimus and the others." The Viking Chief replies to his son: "Well you didn't think we let you have all the fun, didn't you?" He said as he dismounts off of Thornado, walks to the cage and bends down to the Alpha Speed Stinger's level, and stares at the wild dragon with an angry look. "Remember me? And do you remember Optimus?" He points to his giant robot, who also is angry, the alpha snarls at them both, Optimus says to the beast: "Listen here Speed Stinger, and get this through that thick skull of yours. Never mess with a Cybertronian with Autobot alloy or attack his human and other dragon friends, if you know what's good for you." They turn to Hiccup, and Stoick says to his him: "Now, get him off my island."
With a smile Hiccup says to Astrid: "You heard the Chief!" Astrid with enthusiasm agreeably says: "With pleasure." Bulkhead stops her and says: "Wait! I got an idea, I learned this from Johan's journey in a country called England." He said as walks to the forest, grabs a tall trees, up roots it and removes the roots and strips off the limbs. Tuffnut questions: "Is this a boring long story?" The Wrecker answers: "Kinda, but I'll get to main point. A man invented a sport in his country, he hasn't given it a name yet. And it was ahead of its time. But you'll love it, just throw that cage my way." He positions himself like a baseball batter, and uses the tree like a bat.
They didn't argue so, Astrid and Stormfly spins around 5 times before letting go, throwing the cage, and Bulkhead swings the tree hitting the cage sending it flying far. The pack sees their leader going far, to they follow it. As does the Dragon Riders as well as Bee, Arcee and Smokescreen to make sure it's off.
The cage was send so far, it lands on the ice bridge. As Astrid and Stormfly flies down to the cage only for one of the stingers jumps onto Stormfly and stings her. As the Dragon succumbs to the venom, she falls on the ice bridge.
Hiccup orders his team: "I'll get the cage, Ruff, Tuff, and Arcee cover Astrid!" The twins dragon circles around Astrid and Stormfly, Barf breaths gas surrounds them and ignites it crating a literal fire wall, causing the pack to go around.
As for Hiccup, Toothless grabs the cage with the alpha Speed Stinger. Bumblebee and Smokescreen follows to provide aid. As Hiccup blocks a Speed Stinger's attacks with his shield, but it tries to sting him but hits the prosthetic leg, causing it to hurt himself more than Hiccup. Hiccup says to hurt Speed Stinger who stung the prosthetic leg: "Weren't expecting metal leg, were ya?"
As for Smokescreen he purposely bumps into the Speed Stingers while saying: "Take this you speedy lizards!" They jump on him, and start using their stingers but they only arm is the paint job. "Hey! Watch the paint!" Then one Stinger strikes the right rear wheel. He spins out of control, but stops. Bumblebee sees him, stops and transforms into robot mode and beeps: ("Smokey!"). The Autobot elite says to him: "Don't worry about me it's just a wheel! Now go! Fly you fool!" So the continues to help his friend.
Hiccup sees what they're looking and says: "There the ice bridge!" As the pack still follow their leader, one of the Speed Stinger strike Toothless' prosthetic tail fin, "Toothless! We're going down!" He exclaims as the Night Fury couldn't keep itself in the air, the cage with the wild dragon wasn't making it easy so they were force to loose the cage, which breaks on impact freeing the alpha.
As for Hiccup and Toothless, Bumblebee catches them before they hit the ice bridge ground, but their fall and impact causes him to tumble backwards.
The leading Speed Stinger regroups with his pack, they turn to the human Viking, Night Fury and Autobot Scout. As Hiccup readies his shield and launches but it's empty, and he exclaims: "No! No! Out of bolas. Toothless?" He asks his dragon who is also out. "And no plasma blast. Great." Bumblebee steps in front and beeps: ("Don't worry. I still got if not a lot of juice."). He beings to fire at the Speed Stingers set on stun, so he doesn't kill them. But this only angered them all are ready to go on the attack.
The three friends gets into battle stance, Hiccup says to them: "Ready guys?" Then Snotlout's voice yells: "Hookfang, fire!" The Dragon Rider team minus Astrid and Stormfly arrived. Hookfang breaths fire on the ice bridge causing the ice to melt separating them from Berk. The Alpha roars to his pack to retreat, they turn and run back to their island.
Hiccup comments his cousin: "Nice shooting Snotlout!" Bumblebee also comments him: ("Why to go Snotman! Way bring the heat!"). The muscular Viking teen lands and replies to his cousin and Autobot ally: "No problem guys." Then he's pushed off easily by Gustolf who repeats: "Yeah, no problem guys." The Monstrous Nightmare flies off with the boy controlling but Snotlout hangs by his legs while yelling: "Hey! Put me down! Repercussions! Repercussions!" He screams high tone at the end of his sentence.
The next day of Berk the paralyzing venom off, everything during back to normal. The people gathered their food, Ratchet doing medical inspections of the ones still recovering. Ratchet says to one of his patience: "Ok, the venoms almost gone. I advise you to not pull or lift or carry anything above 30 pounds." Viking man says to him: "Thank you Ratchet." He sets out to do some light work.
Stoick, Gobber, Optimus and Ultra Magnus walks through the town, the chief says to his friends: "Nasty creatures, those Speed Stingers." Ultra Magnus agrees: "Indeed. And they're faster than the human eye or Cybertronian optic could see." Gobber states to his chief: "Ay, we have a few nasty creatures of our own, around here." He said as Optimus and Stoick lift a wooden support beam. They turn to see the twins and Gustolf laughing at Snotlout who's still recovering from the venom, they've even spin him around and laughing even though he tells them to stop.
Hiccup and Trader Johan on Toothless who's prosthetic tail fin is fixed flies off, to his ship. As they land on the ship, the trader says to his friend: "Thank you again for the rescue, master Hiccup." The Prince replies to him: "No problem Johan." As the man dismounts off of Toothless, "I'm just glad things are back to normal." Then Trader Johan says to him: "Before you go I have something for you." He searches for the item under all of his trading goods then finds it. "A little token of my appreciation. Pure squid ink. Wrestled from the colossal squid of the Northern Waters." He told how he retrieved it as he gives a bottle of said ink with a squid painted on it.
Hiccup replies as he takes the jar of the squid ink: "Wow. Thanks Johan." Then Johan says to him: "Yes, there's actually a wonderful story that goes along with that bottle." He stated, "Ten summers ago, deep under the currents of the Northern Waters…" As he tells the story, Hiccup whispers to Toothless: "Why don't you say we get out of here?" To which the dragon roars and they flew off heading back to Berk. As they flew off, Trader Johan questions why, and he was getting to the good part, and ends with: "Great white teeth!"
On the island where the Speed Stingers live, the Alpha stood standing attention, in his right eye, reveals to be a cybernetics, the being in front of it, is Tarantulas who kneels down giving the alpha a fish and says to it as the dragon eats it: "Good boy. You served your masters well. Now let's see what you have to report." The eye opens revealing a flash drive, the Spider Insecticon takes it, the eye opened robotic transforms back to a regular eye, the alpha returned to the pack. "(Evil laughing) I have all their secrets. Berk's people reaction to the Speed Stinger's attack. The Autobots and warriors means of defense. Even the dragons means of self-defense. Soon we'll strike and with an army of these paralyzing venom dragons. They won't know what will hit them again." He laughs evilly even more thinking victory will be theirs.
