Hey, quick question, did that last chapter get published? Or is it just me? My Wattpad for some reason won't let me see the writing I did so I'm concerned as to whether or not it got posted. Also if anyone has a new suggestion for Stormfly2's name I will GLADLY accept it, I'm person not happy with the lack of creativity I put into it.

E okay WOW, I did not realize so many people wanted me to update this book, I honestly thought nobody liked it  :/

Hiccup's POV:

THWACK!

"SONUVA BI-"

THWUMP!

I shot up, nearly losing my balance on the branch beneath me. Looking down, my eyes widened at the sight of a very distraught looking Astrid sprawled across the planks, and further along from that, a very smug looking 2thless.
"Astrid? What happened?" I asked groggily, jumping down from the branch I was on.

"That dragon of yours happened!" She half-yelled as she pulled herself off the ground, "I was quite happily sleeping until suddenly that asshole over there cracked me across the head with his tail!"
I stifled a laugh before turning to 2thless, who was gurgling smugly.
"Bad dragon. Very, very bad dragon." I said, mockingly, wagging my finger back and forth.
2thless merely snorted and turned away, heading off to where Stormfly2 stood waiting.

"I don't know how you put up with that Hiccup, I would've lost my mind already." I heard Astrid grumble behind me as she pulled herself off of the ground. I waited until after she dusted herself off to talk again.
"Hey Astrid, I remember promising to show you something too didn't I?"
Astrid hummed in acknowledgment, her expression curious.
"Okay cool! Now look at this.." I said as my hand slipped into my pocket, grasping onto a few hard metal objects.
Sliding them out, I held them up into the light, revealing to Astrid the shiny metal discs.
She shot me a questioning look and took a step forward, reaching out her hand to grab one. Just as she was about to grab it I pulled it out of reach, motioning her to come towards me. Shooting me a suspicious glare (courtesy of her animal instincts) she took a few steps closer and stopped, looking up to meet my excited gaze.

"So?" She asked, shrugging one of her shoulders.

"So this!" I said as I pulled her forward, pressing one of the metal discs to her stomach and flicking a switch on the side. It immediately latched onto her skin (not painfully mind you, just a little bit of a thing called science) causing her to yelp in surprise. Before she could pull it off however, I flicked another small switch on the opposite side of it, causing it to light up with a faint blue glow. Slowly, white material started to form around the disc in little hexagonal shapes, the outline of each shape glowing the same blue as the disc before melding away into the suit it was creating.
Astrid gasped as the spandex-like material began to wrap around her form, overlapping her clothes and enveloping her in a tight fitting, yet comfy, super suit. As it went, the white material started to change into a deep blue at her legs, slowly getting lighter as the colour traveled up her body, leaving the material around her shoulders and neck a pale blue, nearly white sort of colour. Slowly, the armour of the suit began to build up a bit, little spines poking up on the sides of her thighs and towards the sides of her shoulder, each spine a golden yellow colour (her suit's colour resembles Stormfly's in a way).

I watched on in both amusement and curiosity at Astrid's pleasantly surprised expression, the curiosity being for the uniqueness of the blonde girl's suit, normally the suits build up more armour than a few spikes, as they were made to adapt to both the users body shape, mass, powers, etc. The style of the colours was also odd, the suit was an ombré kind of blue and was now beginning to develop scale like patterns around the  limbs of her body, the simplistic golden outline giving the illusion of dragon scales in the light. With the other riders the suit had taken a more basic solid colour sort of theme, the only exception being myself, mine had a mixture between red, black and brown colours. I hummed in thought, could it be because of her shape shifting abilities that her suit had less armour? The other riders certainly have a lot more protection on their suits, even Snotlout who already has inhuman strength.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by an excited gasp from Astrid, who was now sliding a mask over her face
It's base was the same pale blue/white colour on her shoulders, also seeming to be made out of the same material (if not slightly thicker) as the rest of the suit. He watched as it swirled and adjusted to the curves of Astrid's face and head. Three smallish yellow horns began to form on the mask, one sat at the front of her head (this one being broader than the others) and the others sat further back on her skull, giving the illusion of dragon horns. Over her eyes was a white mesh (almost deadpool like) that hid away the icy blue of her eyes (much to my disappointment), there was also a flexible rim around the white mesh that moved with the muscles around her eyes, allowing for some emotion to be seen through the mask. The bottom portion of the mask looked to be made of a slightly more solid material as it split through the middle and slid away to rest further along the sides of her head. The movement of the jaw piece revealed the bottom half of her face which now bore a goofy grin.
