Hiccup, the Womanizer (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 12: Isabel of the Harshbarger Order

A/N: So, one of my readers on FanFiction left a review saying this story is losing "a fair chunk of legitimacy," because I decided to bring Johann and Drago into this or because I'm not making a female villain to pose a threat to Hiccup and his people. Clearly, they think I'm not going to add existing villains from other crossovers or even made-up villains, I'm introducing two new baddies I've created in my head. For this chapter, it's time to rescue Gustav Larson and Fanghook! Now, I don't know if you guys have seen the medieval comedy "Your Highness," starring James Franco, Danny McBride, and Natalie Portman, but it's one of my favorites just because of how absurd it is and I found it hilarious when I first saw it. Portman's character, Isabel of the Harshbarger Order will be Hiccup's next lover, instead of being a Fair Queen, she'll not only be a Kept Woman but an assassin for Hiccup and the Vikings. Anyway, let's get to it!

(Normal pov— York)

"Mushu now is not the time to charge headlong into the Viking's stronghold, not when Mulan's life is in the balance!"

The crimson dragon turned to Ting-Ting who was perched on Pushen, huffing in frustration. "Mulan needs us! We don't know what's happened to her!" Looking back in the direction of York, the guardian of the Fa family released an anxious sigh. "It's my duty to protect Mulan and the future of the Fa family—"

"You cannot protect Mulan let alone save her if you get yourself killed, Mushu," Su cooed as she slid off of Júzi's neck. "We need to formulate a plan to spirit Mulan out of those walls."

Mei slid off of Túo's neck and turned to her sister. "But how? Evading the Vikings will be easy, it's getting past their dragons that will prove challenging. We have no means of masking our scent from the dragons within those walls," she then looked to Ting-Ting. "What do you suggest?"

Before Ting-Ting could reply, however, the snapping of twigs nearby caused the three sisters and the dragon by their side to look in the direction of the disturbance and ready themselves for whatever would emerge out of the thick, dense forest. A hooded man soon emerged, and the sisters shared a look of confusion, silently asking each other what he was doing there.

"Having trouble hatching a plan to save your friend, hmm?"

Ting-Ting narrowed her eyes and then spoke in a cautious manner. "What are you doing here, Ahimoth?"

Lowering his hood, he smiled lightly. "Think of me as the eye in the sky, I was sent by our master to oversee your mission," a dark chuckle bubbled from his throat as he shrugged, "I just finished having words with Mulan, not long ago. The Vikings weren't shy to beat her to within an inch of her life so that they could discover why she was after Hiccup Haddock."

Su and Mei shared a nervous look before looking at Ting-Ting, who spoke softly. "I-Is she—?"

"Dead? No, but she might as well be," Ahimoth inspected his axe nonchalantly while continuing. "In her desperation to see her suffering come to an end, Mulan disclosed the information our enemies sought, because of this, I should've killed her, especially when our master instructed that his survival was to remain a secret." Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Ahimoth then shrugged. "Well, I suppose Mulan is as good as dead, so you and your dragons will join your loved ones in death." Taking up a battle stance, Ahimoth then barked out a command in the Xhosa tongue.

"NGOKU!"

Fireballs came out of nowhere and struck the sister's dragons in their backs, immobilizing them for the time being. Crying out in fear for their dragons, the sisters then drew their weapons while Mushu roared in rage and breathed a torrent of fire in Ahimoth's direction. The African warrior evaded the fire and hurled a knife at Mulan's dragon. Quickly ducking to avoid the knife, Mushu was about to press his attack but stopped when two Dragon Flyers on the backs of armored Singetails landed beside Ahimoth and breathed fire in his direction. Taking in two blasts of fire to his chest and side, Mushu tumbled to the ground and groaned in pain before looking in his companion's direction.
