Justice League of the Archipelago

Chapter 13

It was midnight when we arrived at Berk,I was the last one to land on the main square, Gobber welcomed all the riders and I stayed behind, I thought immediately, I will not be the hero for Gobber and I was right, he finished with Eret and offer the gang to enter to the great hall, I was talking to Spit when Iheard the chief "Gobber, you forget someone ?" "what ? I don't think so chief ?" "and Amaury ? one of the three leader of the JLA who saved me and my friends, member of the Defender of the Wing, inhabitant of Berk and rider of Spitfire, you forgot the Terror of the Sky himself Gobber ?" "the what ?" "it's my nickname, I answered, I earnd it when I knocked out Viggo and Ryker, they're almost killed Astrid, I can't stand it !" "it's you the Terror of the Sky, I heard of him yesterday with Johann, he told me he burn an hunter ship only by looking at it !" "nah...I'm just human, it's all in the way you do it, in that case, I just have to look at it and throw one of this thing !" I took out from my bag one of my homemade grenade and Snotlout was the first one to laught "ha ha ha ! you're joking right ?" "oh no Snotlout, we're not here for a joke, right girl ?" "oh yeah !" "can you show us that ?" "okay, but in the arena only, it's too dangerous here !" "what kind of dangerous ?" "like I can destroy all this place at once !" "okay...to the arena !" Everyone went to the arena and when we were arrived, Astrid placed five gronkle iron targets then, she stayed outdoor, above us, Spitfire was ready to put the fire down and I waited to see Hiccup in a safe place before throwing my grenade, it explode in the middle of the target, eliminated all at once, Spitfire neutralized the fire and the gang joined us "it was...AWESOME !" "thanks Tuff !" "you're welcome !" "how can you made this things ?" "just need some kind of bottle and some explosives fireball of Spit and you got a Fireball Frenzy grenade !" "you're a genius, pursued Fishlegs." "I got it thanks to my dragon, it's her who made all the job here not me !" "alright, we saw it, now, it's time to eat, can I talk to you in private ?"
"can I come Chief ? asked Spitfire." "yes, you're also concerned !" All the gang went back to the great hall, except me, Spit and Hiccup.

The chief took us in his home, I felt wierd when I entred here now, no more Stoik on his chair, sharpening his axe or talking with other vikings about battle or anything, it's just an empty chair, he was the one and only to give me a clan and a family to protect, because of him, I'm an Haddock and proud to be "Amaury, are you okay ?" "yeah, I'm fine, I'm commin' !" Hiccup was upstairs, Spit and I joined him and she was ready to join his black scaly friend "so...what do you want ? I asked." "while you were recruiting and preparing your team, I prepared some things for you, the twins told me what kind of thing you can do for us, like the episod of the volcano in Mala's Island !" "oh, they told you this story ?" Of any of my story, the twins talked about this one, after the fight of the nuts, dragon fly 2 was lost, I sucessed to grabbed it before it reached the ocean and kept it on my saddle bags, when Hiccup, Fishlegs and Mala went to the nesting place of the Eruptodon, I took it to join the entry but I almost got killed "I thought, as a team leader, you want to made some...good entry on fight and have a really good sword !" "what are you talking about chief ?" "I made you a dragonfly suit, with Mala's help, and an Inferno 2.0 !" "what ? you're the one who joking right ?" "no, you're a good rider and a good leader...and my adoptiv brother since Drago appearence...my father would be proud of you !" "WOAW ! I don't know what to say !" "you can thank me for the sword and the wings of your outfit, for the rest, Mala did everything, you should put it on, I'll wait outside." Hiccup told to the dragons to go out as well and I put the outfit on. It looks almost like Hiccup but muck more...black and gold, color of the Defender of the Wing, it was the same mecanism to activate the wings and I found the place of my Inferno, it's hilt was almost purple in color and looked like the dragon eye, I loved these things. When I wnet out with that, Spitfire bliked her eyes "you look like twins you two !" "thank you Spitfire !" "can I ask you one thing ?" "of course !" We were on the way to the great hall for a late dinner when I asked my question "why did you say Inferno 2.0 ?" "because I don't use Nightmare saliva for the fire, but Fireball Frenzy one !" "Spit ?" "he worked on it after we defeated Drago for the last time, he thought he coud be a good idea !" Curious, I pressed the butto and the blade appeared, circled with red flames "is that what I think it is ?" "no, don't worry, it's not explosive, it take this color but it's just normal flame !" "okay, it's amazing !" "I think we're even, you saved me and my friends !" I put the blade in and looked down "something the matter ?" "yeah...sort of, I don't know if you heard that but before I lead the final charg at Sven's island, Heather came to see me and...she said she loves me !" "really ? lucky guy, congrats !" "wait before that, I don't know what to do, I always waited for that day to come, all parts of my body want to get rid off that weight on my heart but...I'm affraid of what could happen if...if I said that to her !" "I see...on this case, you have only one way to know that, you have to tell her everything !" "okay...I feared a thing like that...thanks anyway !" "are you okay ?" "yes...I could do that right ?" When we arrived in front of the hall's gate, Hiccup opened it and we entered.

Heather's POV

When we saw Amaury with this outfit and a copy of Inferno, Ruffnut was the first one to asked "it's normal you looked like twins you two now ?" "yes Ruff, anwered the chief, I gave the outfit and the second Inferno to him, as a gift !" "okay !" "can we eat please, I'm starving !" "let's eat now !" I was besides my brother, looking at the gang eat all the food on the table, I almost thought one of them could eat the table but Amaury didn't eat a thing, his strange look worried me "I think you're responsible for that sister !" "what ? how ?" "you said you love him when we were at this lunatic's island, now...he don't know if he could told his feeling or keep it for himself !" "enought Dagur, leave him alone, if he want to talk to me, he can !" "we you accept, I'm more than happy, this guy is a real Berserker !" "you need to be crazy to be one of your friends Dagur !" "I AM NOT...crazy, okay, Sven was crazy !" "yeah...said the guy who butchered my island before to know his sister was in it !" "how can I know I've got a sister ?" I stood up, tired to listen to my brother's comment and went to see Amaury but when I arrived, I found an empty chair, I looked at the door and saw him, nearly outside "you won't be leaving this room mister !" I'll went to him, without beeing noticed by the other, how can ti be possible.

Something is weird inside me, I can't talk to one of my friends, before that, we can talk about anything and now, I'm affraid of what she could say to me. Spitfire was on the main square and I already heard her comment "you're alredy ready to go ? what about Heather ? did you talk to this to her or..." when I felt an hand on my shoulder, my thoughts still unclear, I turned back to see Heather, worried "what's wrong ? did I say anything disturbing or..." When I see her like that, I realized one thing, the only one I saw like that to an other person was Astrid towards Hiccup and the contrary, the only two friends who slowly became more than that. Before she left, I grabbed her both hands on my only real one and took a deep breath "I'm just focused on what you say to me earlier, all this night, I searched the perfect way to say this to you...in fact...from the first day I met you, I searched the perfect moment to say these word to you but...I never could !" "this moment seems perfect to me !" "yeah...but it's not that simple for me, the last one I was with tried to kill me years after her death !" "Freya ?" "yeah, with time, Imust I've been drunk when I decided to choose her as my girlfriend !" "get to the point, I felt cold here !" "Heather, from the first day I meet you till that day, I love you with all my heart, no one can stopped me if he is between me and you, I think you saw that with Ryker and Viggo !"
"really ? you...you love me from the first day we met ?" "yeah, it can be stupid but when Astrid came to see me with you, I felt something I never felt in all my life, from this moemnt, I knew I could do anything for you !" I put my head down, ready to head what it could be my heart breaking into several parts or anything else...but not this one, this sounds was almost like an arrow shot and getting throught the air...oh my Thor, Berk is under attacked "HEATHER GET DOWN !" "what ?" I put her down but too late, the arrow hit her on the left shoulder "oh no ! are you okay ?" "yes, it's just a flesh wound !" "get inside and told to everyone the twon is under attack, I got this archer down !" Heather got in the hall and Spit came to me, I mount her and took off to pursued this guy "we have a problem, it's a Fireball Frenzy !" "with a rider ? Impossible !" Spitfire pursued him but he lead us on a trap, five other riders on Fireball Frenzy waited us far above the town "oh no, it can't be ! whisper Spitfire, you need to do one thing pal !" "what !" "JUMP !" When I saw red flames on the sixth mouth, I turned off my brain and jump, my wings were ready for their first flight but when I turned my head back, I saw Spitfire falling unconscious "SPITFIRE !" she doesn't move and when we got throught the clouds, I saw her crashed on the forest insted of me, I landed on Astrid's roof "Amaury ? what are you doing on my roof !" "Spitfire is down !" "WHAT ? how ?" "six Fireball Frenzy attacked us, she carshed on the forest, I...I don't know if is she..." "we have to find her, I will sent a terror mail at the JLA outpost, we will help you find you dragoness !" "where are they ? yelled Dagur, I'm going to..." "calm down, they're gone, I was the target with Spitfire, they are all long gone by now !" Astrid helped me go down and I joined Hiccup "one tiny thing before we go on searching mission...why did you call the team the JLA ?" "the Justice League of the Archipelago, it sounds nice, does it ?" "yes, it does, now...we have to found Spitfire." Hiccup went to his house to write the message and I went with the rest of the team to search my dragon...and answers, she seems to know these sixth dragon.

This one end on a cliffhanger, Spitfire is alive or dead, do she really know these dragons ? the asnwers in the next one !
