A/N Heyyyy. So I wanted to update before New Years... You can see how well that went. But I'm done Chemistry, hopefully forever. Enjoy!
"Humans?" Fishlegs asked, "As titans primary prey?"
"No, as titans only prey," Hange said, "We don't have time for all the details but titans only go after humans."
"So that's why they were attacking the trade ships," Hiccup said, "Not for the goods, but for the people."
The Rockfin let out a mighty roar and began to thrash around, trying to hit Hookfang and Snotlout.
"That does explain its actions. Wild dragons typically have no interest in humans," Fishlegs said.
"What is a titans weakness?" Hiccup asked.
"The back of the neck, there is a small target there," Hange said, "What is a dragon's weakness?"
"If you can ignite the gas in the dragon's mouth before it can fire then you can kill it," Hiccup said, "But we've only done it once."
"Does it work like the twins dragon?" Armin asked.
"Kind of, it just happens inside the dragon with its own gas."
"So our best bet is to try and do both at the same time," Hange said.
"I agree. How are we supposed to cut through the neck?"
"Let us handle that. You just take care of hitting the gas," Hange said as the Rockfin blasted out another fire blast, "I'm going to head over to Levi and Mikasa," Hange said just before jumping off of Meatlug.
Fishlegs looked towards Hiccup, neither of them liked Hange's vague proposal but they didn't have the time to question it.
"Let's meet up with Jean, " Armin said, "It looks like someone got hurt."
"Let's go, bud, " Hiccup said to Toothless. Toothless made an uneasy groan but flew towards the group on the ground.
Astrid was pissed at Snotlout, he took off the moment he determined that nobody needed his help leaving Sasha to tend to Connie and Astrid to help Jean get Stormfly's spine off of his gear.
"It's really stuck on there," Jean said, taking a break, "stupid dragon," he muttered
"Whose idea was it to grapple on to the spine?" Astrid said.
Jean didn't have a comeback, he glared at Astrid, who was smirking before changing topics; "Hey Sasha! How's Connie doing?"
"I can talk, you know." Connie said, "And I'm fine. Ow! Don't touch that!" Connie shouted, pulling his arm out of Sasha's grasp.
"Are you guys alright?" Armin called as Toothless came into land.
"Connie injured his arm and Jean's ODM gear is broken. I'm good to go," Sasha said.
"Astrid, are you two okay?" Hiccup asked.
"We're fine, almost got crushed by the Rockfin," Astrid said walking over to Stormfly, "What's the plan?"
"Preferably one that doesn't involve getting almost crushed by a giant dragon!" Snotlout quipped.
"We are going to do two attacks simultaneously, blasting the gas inside of the mouth and slicing the back of its neck," Hiccup said.
"The dragon has been steaming from its wounds and healing quickly, we think it's part titan," Armin said and the scouts faces went blank.
"It doesn't matter what it is as long as we have a way to stop it," Hiccup said, "Fishlegs, you and Meatlug take the scouts and find the twins and try to find cover. It's best to have you guys as far away as possible if she decides to blow up like last time."
Armin was confused, this dragon that they had never heard of before was crossed with a titan and was potentially going to blow up.
"I'll take the shot," Astrid said, pulling all of the Scouts out of their stupor.
"No, I have to do it," Hiccup said, "Toothless is the fastest and most precise dragon-"
"Hiccup, you know what happened last time-"
"Astrid, I'll be fine," Hiccup said, looking into her eyes, "I'll have you with me this time."
"What am I, chopped yak liver?" Snotlout shouted.
Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Let's go!" He said as he and Toothless leapt into the air. Astrid and Snotlout soon followed.
"So Armin, what's the plan?" Jean asked. The Scouts all looked at Armin expectantly. Fishlegs was off to the side watching as Hiccup's orders were disregarded.
Armin pondered for a moment, then spoke; "We stick with Hiccup's plan. If Commander Hange trusts him then I do too."
"I'm pretty sure the twins went down over there," Fishlegs pointed.
"Let's go," Armin said and they moved out.
Hange made their way to Levi, Mikasa, and Eren. The dragon was still recovering from the fall which bought them a little time.
"We have a new plan," Hange said, coming to a halt beside the other three scouts, "This dragon is part titan so we are going to take it out like a titan and a dragon at the same time."
Hange could see the confusion in the Scout's eyes, though Levi did a really good job at hiding it.
"Eren, I want you to head over to the others," Eren seemed like he was going to protest, but left in a hurry.
"Levi, Mikasa, I need you two to wait on opposite sides of the dragon then go for the neck, the neck is larger than we are used to and I want to be prepared. Hiccup is going to take it out the dragon way while we take it out the titan way."
"Understood," Mikasa before following a silent Levi.
Captain Levi did not like this plan one bit, he thought that Hange was too quick to trust some outsiders. He also knew that this wasn't the time to voice his opinions. The best he could do was keep his guard up.
The Rockfin was starting to roar again and with no one cutting up the wings it was trying to take to the air. It let out an erratic blast of fire, the area surrounding the dragon was growing hotter by the second.
"Well it's definitely angry," Hiccup said as the riders flew in closer.
"And you're sure that's a good thing," Snotlout said, "Because I prefer not to be barbecued!"
"You two just hang in its blind spots and try to get it to build up a blast, I'll draw its attention," Hiccup peeled away before Snotlout could respond.
"And how does he expect us to do that?"
Astrid just rolled her eyes and flew off.
"Typical," Snotlout muttered. He flew to take his spot opposite Astrid in the Dragons blind spot.
Hiccup drew in closer, grabbing the Rockfin's attention without shooting. He couldn't risk hitting anybody.
Levi and Mikasa were now in place, waiting for Hiccup to give them the signal. They were used to precision, only a small part of the titans neck would grant the kill. A miss or too shallow of a cut would just cause more problems, and more deaths.
Hange had hopped onto Stormfly to get a better view, as much as they were the commander they were not as strong as Levi and Mikasa.
"What are we looking for?" Hange asked Astrid.
"We're waiting for the Rockfin to build up a large blast in its mouth, it'll make sort of a hissing sound. Then Hiccup will dive in closer for the shot."
"Got it. Have you done this before?"
"Hiccup kind of has…" Astrid trailed off, doing her best not to think about that, now wasn't the time.
"I see," Hange said, there was something Astrid didn't want to share, they'd have to get it out of her later.
Hiccup had been holding the Rockfin's attention, but all it had done was send a few short bursts of fire his way. He had to work out a new strategy before the dragon became airborne again.
"Come on, bud," Hiccup said as he took Toothless in closer, dodging a fire blast, "Is that the best you've got!" He shouted then pulled away to the side as the dragon fired another small blast, "Snotlout! Make it mad!" He shouted as he flew past.
"Make it made you say," Snotlout pondered for a moment before deciding on his course of action. He grabbed his hammer and jumped onto the dragon and neared its eye socket.
"Hey dragon!" He shouted as he smashed its eye in, "I think," He bashed it again, "You've got," Another strike, "Something," And another, "In your," Another strike, "Eye!"
The dragon roared out in pain and let out a larger fire blast, but not large enough. Astrid got the hint though and reached into her saddle bag throwing whatever she had into the dragon's eye.
The dragon let out another roar and it jolted the three standing on the dragon, it began to fly, just in place for now. But it had enough of a range of motion to swing its head violently, it threw Snotlout off and Astrid had to fly out of its head snapping range. Levi and Mikasa were firmly anchored in and didn't go anywhere. Snotlout was thankfully caught by Hookfang, but only after he screamed like a little girl.
The Rockfin narrowed its eyes at Hiccup and Toothless, it was flying higher now but was still in no place to give chase.
"Here it comes, bud," Hiccup said, and sure enough he was right. The Rockfin began to build up a blast as Hiccup and Toothless flew in. The pair were flying fast, creating Toothless whistling sound.
"Go!" Hange shouted at Levi and Mikasa.
Levi sprung from his spot, putting his blade into its reverse grip just before slicing across the dragon's neck.
Mikasa was a split second behind Levi but her attack was just as smooth.
The pair crossed in the middle of the neck as if this cut was practiced, Mikasa crossed closer to the dragon's head and their cuts were angled in such a way that when it was completed there would be one massive chunk of flesh missing.
That's not what Hange was watching, they were watching Hiccup soar in at speeds they had never seen before. The hissing sound stopped for a split second and that's when a purple blast left Toothless's mouth and blew up inside of the Rockfins.
Mikasa finished her cut and the chunk of flesh came off of the dragon, then a powerful wind blast blew her past her landing spot. She tried to turn around but she had run out of gas, there was nothing to grab onto, nothing she could do. She closed her eyes.
Then she stopped; "Don't worry, we've gotcha!" Astrid said and Stormfly clicked, "Let's get out of here before this dragon blows up."
Levi managed to stick his landing, somehow. But he didn't realize how high they had risen.
"Come on!" Snotlout said, with a hint of annoyance in his voice, as he flew Hookfang closer.
Levi glared at Snotlout for a moment then hopped onto his dragon not a moment too soon. The dragon began to plummet as the internal fire ripped through its newly healed wings.
"Snotlout, hurry!" Astrid shouted. They flew off to find where the others had taken shelter.
Fishlegs had been constructing a wall with Meatlugs help while the rest of the group had been digging a hole behind it. They were stuck in an open field with a dragon that was about to blow up.
The Rockfin let out a pained roar.
"We're out of time!" Fishlegs shouted.
"There's no way we'll all fit," Jean said, it wasn't easy digging without a shovel and the hole was much too small to fit everyone. The scouts all side glanced at Eren but still did their best to dig.
Eren Knew what they wanted him to do, but he was hesitant. He saw all of their panicked glances, they were his friends, no, they were his family now. He watched as the two dragons carried the rest of his family towards them and he made up his mind.
As the two dragons were coming into land Eren hopped over the small wall Meatlug had built and ran a few paces away from the group.
"Eren, what are you doing?!" Fishlegs shouted.
But before anyone could think of running after him there was a large blast of lightning then a 15m naked man was standing before them.
"Oh,"
"My,"
"THOR!" The Twins said.
"What in Hel's name is that?!" Snotlout shouted.
Fishlegs was stunned into silence, as were the dragons. They were shocked and unsure what to do next, they weren't sure if this giant man was a threat, but it's sent was also strangely familiar.
"Take cover!" Levi shouted, leaving the Viking undecided on how they felt about the giant man and worrying about their lives.
The Vikings dove behind the little wall with their dragons spreading their wings to protect their riders. The Scouts took refuge behind Eren's titan with a few hooking into the ground for extra stability.
There was a deafening explosion and Hiccups shout of, "LOOK OUT!" Just before the shock wave hit followed by a wall of heat.
A/N Now that I'm done Chemistry will I be posting more. Answer: I have calculus so we'll see. No matter how long you have to wait for another update, I will finish this. I cannot tell you guys how many times I read through the comments looking for motivation to finish this chapter.
Comments are very appreciated. Thank you for reading.
