How To Train Your Dragon: Broken

Swarm Part One

"Come on! This way!" Angry guards stampeded through the forest, night had fallen an hour ago. And it was an hour ago when both Hiccup and Sandy realized that this island was much bigger than they both thought. Sandy tried to continue to fly, but her strength faded with every flap. Her species wasn't meant to fly for so long considering that they were ambush predators. 'I-I can't keep flying,' she huffed, 'Your not the only hungry one here.'

As Sandy landed Hiccup hopped off; he had to catch himself before he lost his balance again, the Panic Attack from earlier still lingered. His head wasn't as dizzy and he had his breath back, but Hiccup still felt a little off balance. Hiccup scanned the forest; hoping to find some place of safety. "There!" He pointed towards what appeared to be an indentation in a cliff side, "I-I think that might be a cave!" Hiccup started for the cave without much thought.

'Hiccup! Wait!' Sandy began to chase after him, but stopped, 'Hiccup! Duck!'

Hiccup stopped and turned towards Sandy; confused by the command."Whoa!" he dropped to the ground just as a fiery ball of sand flew past him and smacked into an oncoming guard. The man fell back, stunned, but quickly recovered and charged again.

Sandy jumped in front of Hiccup and swung her body in a full circle. Her tail smacked into the guard's side and he sailed through the air until he crashed into a tree. The guard groaned as both the tree and his head vibrated from the impact.

"W-Wa-" Hiccup stuttered as he rose to his feet, "I-I didn't even see or hear him...Ugh, I'm losing my mind..."

'Lose it later!' Sandy scooped Hiccup up and took off towards the cave. She raced through the forest; weaving and dodging as more guards joined in on the chase. 'W-There's no cave here!' sandy exclaimed once they reached their destination.

"What?" Hiccup side off of Sandy, "The-There has to be...I thought...I...I am losing my mind!"

'Uh...Hiccup...'

Hiccup turned to see that they were now surrounded. Sandy took a defensive position in front of Hiccup; she opened her mouth wide, ready to fire. But then the fire faded and she lifted her head, 'It's him..'

"Him? Who?" Hiccup glanced around, "Uh...Sandy...Come on! Stop fooling around!"

'It's him! He's coming! The Alpha!'

The chaos was suddenly interrupted when a titan-like roar exploded into the air. Everyone turned to the silhouette of Agrippa's fort. To their amazement the gigantic shadow of a massive white dragon loomed over the fort. The dragon had easily climbed up the sleek walls and grasped the top of them with his powerful claws.

"W-What is that thing!?" one of the guards asked to no one.

'Alpha!' Sandy flapped her wings and jumped up and down.

"Alpha?" Hiccup had the feeling that he heard that title before, "Wait...that's right. My mom told me about a species of dragons that naturally ruled above all other dragons...If the Alpha is here then it must mean...Mom! Dad!" With a burst of joy Hiccup ran over to an excited Sandy, "Sandy! Listen to me! We have to get to him!" Hiccup pointed over to the Alpha, "My village is here!"

Without warning Sandy turned towards Hiccup and knocked him into the air. He landed on her back and before he could have a chance to hold onto something she took off straight into the sky. Hiccup righted himself on her back and looked towards the Alpha as he laid waste to the fort. Every doubt and dark thought left him as pure joy took over; they had found him! His friends and family had come to save him!
