The moment Hiccup and Toothless shot out of the Great Hall they were met by a blasting inferno. The entire town burned in a sea of red, yellow and orange and the cries of the people echoed into the night. Above them an armada of huge four-winged dragons circled, firing down at buildings and people alike without mercy.
"Whoa what the hel? I think I know these guys from somewhere..." Hiccup uttered more to himself than to anyone else and Toothless answered with a low growl. He and Shadow shared a look when suddenly little Hope appeared out of the Great Hall with a questioning purr. Shadow turned and gently pushed the little dragon back into the hall, but Hope refused. She tried to move forward again, purring louder and more determined now but this time it was Toothless who let out a threatening growl and grabbed Hope by the back of her neck, carrying her back to the door of the hall.
"Toothless is right, little one. You stay here." Hiccup interjected, gesturing towards the door and eventually Hope trotted back into the hall but not without shooting a tiny plasma blast against the wooden doorframe with an outraged growl.
"I guess it's hard to be a father sometimes, isn't it bud?" Hiccup chuckled despite their situation and scratched Toothless behind his ear. The black dragon rolled his eyes and warbled in approval before turning his attention back to the battle going on all around them.
Hunter warriors ran around in anguish as they were hit by a large fire ball, screaming as their clothes caught fire, turning them into living torches. They screamed until they couldn't anymore, until they rested into nothingness. The battle continued. More guards and soldiers rushed into the town from all sides, shoving their ballistas and catapults with them, trying to hit one of the large dragons.
"Come on bud, let's help them!" Hiccup exclaimed with determination in his voice and Toothless growled lowly, spreading his wings wide while at the same time Hiccup adjusted his prosthetic in the stirrup and held onto the saddle.
Toothless and Shadow took off and melted into the dark night sky. Toothless drifted to the right while Shadow flew off to the left to attack a yellow four-winged dragon. Hiccup looked around frantically to make out the intruder's leader...this Krogan guy as Eira had called him. He must be recognizable somehow. And if he found him, he would try and bring an end to this madness, talk some sense in the guy. Hiccup reached down to his hip only to realize he hadn't brought Inferno with him. The sword was still lying on the bedside table in his room, he left it behind when everyone headed to the feast and he was not the only one. Almost every man of the hunter tribe came unarmed to join the festivities in honor of the peace with Solsteinn. What a terrible mistake it seemed to be now. Eira must have known that... Hiccup thought with a frown, not sure at all on whose side this black haired woman was on.
He had no time to think any further as suddenly a green dragon appeared right in front of him and Toothless, ready to shoot its fireballs down on the next building. Hiccup patted Toothless' neck and he gave an understanding growl as he shot towards the dragon and its rider.
"Now!" Hiccup cried out when Toothless got close enough but before the plasma blast could hit its target, the dragon's eyes turned to the back of its head and it dodged Toothless' shot before firing a flaming ball out of its tail which missed the black dragon just by an inch.
"Whoa, Singetails!" Hiccup cried out, suddenly remembering the name of the foreign dragons that he had discovered through the dragon eye. "That was close bud, we need another tactic!"
Toothless torpedoed higher into the dark clouds, the flyer spurring his dragon to chase them until they were too high in the sky and the Singetail stopped, refusing to fly any higher.
