I keep pinching my arm to stay awake, blood flowing to the top of my head like a water pitcher. Hanging upside down for so long I can no longer hear the outside side world, only my racing heart beat. Although the ship was very large and heavy with the weight of all the captured dragons it still rocked just enough I felt queasy.

I look down and see a guard walking around with a lantern at the end of his spear. Though my mind was thoroughly distracted with the weight of my armor. Whiplash's scales were heavier than the other dragons' but it made punching dragon hunters in the face more effective.

Hiccup was on the ground making us wait for this dumb ass signal to make a "grand entrance" as he called it. I loved this man but good Thor I think I'm going to pass out. I see inferno light up the dark and the guards lamp moves a little ways in the fog. The lantern turns around and I see the blue hue of Toothless's fins and I thank Thor it's almost time to come down.

I see inferno and a spear clash the lantern moving around wildly and then it's thrown. Bouncing off of Hiccup and setting the floor of the deck on fire. Hiccup being Hiccup walks through the fire without a care in the world it it was then I heard screaming. "Ahh! You're a demon!" The guard screams his accent fairly thick and I had to cover my mouth to stop from laughing. "But you walked through fire!" At this point I looked over to the twins who were just chuckling evilly down at the guy.

The fog began to clear and we could all see the scene clear as day; the guard is trying to back away from Hiccup and Toothless while Hiccup tries to reassure the guard. "Dragons scales! Dragons shed a lot." The rest of us on the top of the ship sigh at the statement having to clean out houses every two hours from shedding scales. "I know a demon when I see one!" The guard states matter of factor holding his pointer finger in the air. "No human legs are that skinny!" The guard shouts and all of our laughs are covered up by Snotlout and Hookfang flying onto the deck in full fire.

"You think that's a good entrance get a load of me!" Snotlout shouts standing up proudly with his arms out. His uniform had wings to look like his dragons and was red all over, it would've been amazing, if it weren't for one defect.

"Ah!ahhhh!" Snotlout screams as his hurt caught of fire for the tenth mission in a row.

"Dear Odin Snotlout." I sigh pinching my nose.

"Ah! More demons I knew it!" The guard shouted.

"More like a dumb ass who forgot to fireproof his butt. Again." Hiccup sighs.

Then the twins were on the ground and I took their distraction with Astrid to sneakily crawl down onto the deck floor. Now being straight up my body felt cold and tingly but I moved forward. I watched as the twins blew up Snotlout and then made their entrance.

"Behold your worst nightmare." Tuffnut says showcasing his new suit.

"Behold." Ruffnut says behind him.

"Along with his sister who insisted on coming!" Tuffnut complains.

"That's my intro?" She asked him but Hiccup interrupted them.

"Guys too soon, you always come in too soo-" but Hiccup was caught off guard by Fishlegs falling onto the deck.

"Sorry still getting the hang of my wings." Fishlegs said trying to get up.

"Fishlegs, again with the baby?" Hiccup complains referring to the Groncle baby Fishlegs religiously keeps attached to his front.

"Sorry Heather couldn't find a babysitter and had to help Dagur." Fishlegs explained.

"You and your wife need to correlate a little better." Hiccup sighs taking Fishlegs' hand and pulling him up.

"Demons! Demons are everywhere!" The guard screams beginning to run to the large bell that hangs for alarm. Being near the cage, I jump down using my upper body to hold onto the railing above the bell and slam my knees into his head and force him to slam against the cage.

"I thought this was a stealth mission?" I whisper to the group who collectively sweat drop. Astrid jumps down behind helping push my metallic wings down into my suit.

"Yeah it started out that way." Hiccup sighs rubbing his hand over his face and distinguishing inferno.

"Good thing I'm always here." I boast confidently putting a hand onto my hip. Hiccup rolls his eyes jokingly while looking me up and down. "Yeah, yeah," he jokes before turning to the rest of the group that was in shambles to say the least.

"Alright let's get to work." Astrid said and we begin moving under the cover of fog.

"Okay we screwed that up but at least nobody else knows we're here." Hiccup states.

"Every time you say that the bad people always know we're here," I complain walking up to a semi-large cage holding a Deadly Nadder and opening the lock.

The rest of the group keeps working in silence opening cages and calming the dragons. Many stayed in the deck not really knowing what to do and one flew off. Then out of nowhere a human scream was heard, "attack!" The thuds of feet transcended over the silence and the group looked at each other eating into defensive stances ready for anything.

Hey guys I know it's short but I've been sick so this is all I could really muster. Hope you enjoy and I'll make the next chapter super long I promise.
