Darkness Uprising

Chapter 16-Planet Eater

Hiccup pov

The thin air above th clouds blew through my brown tussled hair as Toothless flew forward. Behind us, the other dragon riders and Drift followed. As we flew over, I glanced down to see the Defenders of the Wing island. Smiling, I looked back and then winked at Astrid. "Alright bud, lets head down."

Heading straight down. I saw Mala and Throk standing. The latter had his hands behind his back as always. Landing on the ground, I dismounted Toothless and walked forward. "Hiccup Haddock. What a pleasant surprise." I smiled as I replied. "Mala, Throk"

Astrid's arm found mine as she linked arms with it. Mala and Throk looked at us in confusion. They knew us as dating. "Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that me and Astrid are married." Mala smiled as did Throk. Mala soon looked up. Eyeing Drift with a careful eye. "And who is your friend?" I glanced back at Drift before I spoke. "Mala, Throk, this is Drift. An being from another world. He heard about your ways and was intrigued to say the least."

Drift walked over before getting on one knee and spoke. "Mala, Throk. I'm honoured to meet you" "As are we." Replied Mala. Mala then turned to face me and spoke. "It is unlike you to visit unexpectedly Hiccup. May I ask why you have come?" I looked at Astrid before I spoke. "We need to talk in private. You, me and Astrid." Mala nodded in understanding. "Throk, show our new friend here the island." I look over at the other dragon riders. "Guys, we may be a while. So try not to get into any trouble."

"So" Began Mala as she sat down. "What brings you out here?" I take a sip of the drink that Mala had prepared for us. "We found a King of Dragons beneath Berserker Island a few weeks ago. But a man called Drago Bludfist brought his own King of Dragons." Mala narrowed her eyes as I mentioned Drago Bludfist. She must've heard of him. "Drago Bludfist, the man behind all dragon trapper and dragon flyer operations."

I nod before taking another sip. "We were fortunate enough to have some alien friends on our side who managed to help bring down Drago's King. But I came here with a warning. There is a god on the loose. One who was banished long ago from ever touching this world or other select ones such as his homeworld." Mala soon raised an eyebrow in interest. "Go on." Taking a deep breath. I open mouth. "Drift's kind are far older then this world. And the first thirteen that were his size are the gods we worship. One of them. Liege Maximo, is one the loose. He's known as Loki."

I sat in silence as Mala absorbed the information. Astrid finished her drink before she spoke. "And we've met him in person. But we had Balder at our side. But we need your support in knowing where Liege Maximo may be." I took another sip as Mala responded. "I will do all that is within my power to keep an eye out. But there is one other thing bothering me. What happened to cause these alien gods to come back here?" I glanced at Astrid. She gave a small nod. "It's a long tale. Balder told us a few things about it and what happened to their world. Which, mind you, is three times the size of this world. So, I'll give you a short version. Around 4 million years ago..."

Astrid pov

We sat in silence as Hiccup finished the shortened version of the Autobot/Decepticon war. Mala sat in shock and awe as she processed all that had been told. "A war, a war that lasted over millions of years, left a whole world, three times larger then ours, a barren lifeless wasteland, and now they've returned here to continue that war." Hiccup finished his drink before he responded. "They wouldn't have to if the Autobots hadn't been shot down over our world. But Drago's joined forces with the Decepticons. And he seems happy with them. But I was once captured by them. It's how I gained this Cybertronian arm and foot. Because their lead scientist, Shockwave, experimented on me." Hiccup place a hand on his forehead with an ill look.

Mala must've noticed. "Are you ok Hiccup?" Hiccup nodded before he spoke. "Yeah, Shockwave did something to me. He entered my mind, and now there's a mental link between us. He's been attempting to get me to join Drago's army. But I continue to refuse and block him out." I placed a hand on Hiccup shoulders as Mala nodded. "I see. So, you've been helping the Autobots against the Decepticons for the past few weeks."

I watched as Hiccup tensed before he spoke. "For one battle, yes. The other, I was against them. And when I was being captured, I had a bounty on my head." Mala nodded. I remembered when Viggo placed a bounty on Hiccups head. Throk had attempted to rescue him but fell before Krogen. "I see. Yet you are safe and alive. That is all that matters." I smiled softly as I saw a tear from in his eyes. "It's not all that matters. I've had to take over as chief of Berk without my fathers guidance." Mala watched Hiccup and then spoke.

"I'm sorry to hear that your father has died." Hiccup kept still before he let a vengeful smile take form. "And I'm going to make sure that his killer, Drago Bludfist pays for this crimes." Mala walked over before placing a hand on his other shoulder. "And the Defenders of the wing Island will be at your side."

Third person pov

Lithone was a small world compared to Cybertron. But it's similarity to Cybertron was large. The inhabitants were all robots. But they, unlike Cybertronians. Could not transform. Close by. A world the size of Cybertron, if not, larger approached. It had a ring like Saturn. Coloured in orange. Alone it's equator line were several spikes. At the center of the world's equator was a large mouth like maw. Thousands of spike like teeth were visible. On either side of the equator mouth were two large orange horns. The world itself was a bright grey. The equator line was orange and the spikes along it were also orange. So too was it's maw like mouth.

The world moved forward, moving slowly but covering the vast distance with it's sheer mass. As the world approached Lithone. The gravity started to change. The sheer mass of the large ringed world created it's own gravity. Allowing it to warp the gravity of other worlds. But there appeared to be no planetary break up form the sheer gravity produced by the ringed world. Lithone should've started to tear itself apart but remained intact.

As the ringed world reached Lithone. A bright light expanded out from the maw. Covering the small world in light. It soon started to act like a vacuum. Sucking up all that wasn't bolted down to the ground. The two large orange horns soon pieced the surface. They started to move inwards. Dragging the planet in towards the maw. The thousands of smaller teeth soon expanded outwards and started to piece the world further.

Lithone was pulled inside the larger world in one final pull. The ringed worlds rings lit up as it grew in mass. Expanding outwards before moving on to the next world. Close by. The Peaceful Tyranny, the flagship of the Decepticon Justice Division watched. On the bridge, Tarn, named after on of the first five cities to fall to the Decepticons. Sat on the bridge. He was the longest serving member. Having been there from the start. All the others among his team were newer members. He soon spoke. "Kaon, mark Octane off The List" Kaon, a smaller built bot with two tesla coils on his shoulders nodded. He was named after the Decepticon capital on Cybertron. Tarn then muttered something under his breath.

What he said. Was a name that would put fear into every living being that saw him.

"Unicron"
