Fireproof - Chapter Twenty-Eight: Warrior

 

I opened my eyes slowly, then roared in surprise and anger when I saw Rutkei lying next to me.
What are you doing here?!
Tied up in a bolas, with you. she replied sulkily.
The feeling is mutual.
She growled softly at my comment.

Snotlout's POV
'Have you found him, yet, Astrid?' I asked her, landing Hookfang onto the deck of the ship.
'Um, guys! Guys! GUYS!'
'What, Fishlegs?!'
Astrid said what Fishlegs was trying to warn us about.
'I think he's found us first.'
She automatically stepped in front of Stormfly, protecting her. The Nadder picked her up gently by the furry hood of her coat, and put her behind her. Then she stepped in front of Astrid, spines raised.
As Drago got closer to her, however, her eyes started going between slits and friendly pupils. When he reached her, they went to friendly, and she nuzzled him.
Astrid gasped.
'Stormfly, no...you betrayed me...'
'YOU MADE her betray me!' she screamed, grabbing her axe.
Drago had been expecting this, though, and grabbed her wrist, twisting the axe out of her hand.
I winced as I heard bones crack.
Then he threw it over the side of the ship, into the sea.
'MY AXE!' Astrid yelled.
'So...are you going to kill me...?'
Drago hadn't said anything since he'd found us, so it was a shock when he actually said something.
'You are not worth it. The Nadder is what I need. And it would be unfair for me to kill someone with a broken wrist, especially a girl.'
Astrid could only watch as he grabbed Stormfly's neck with his staff, and threw her against the side of the ship so hard she passed out.
He then released the staff from her neck, and went over to me and Hookfang.
'The Monstrous Nightmare...' he chuckled. 'she took a longer time to realise who her true master was.'
'You are not her master.' I denied furiously.
'We shall see...who is then? You?' he laughed at me. 'Or me?' He placed his boot on Hookfang's snout.
'Not again...Hookfang, don't give in...'
She groaned in submission.
'HOOKFANG! NO!'
I ran over to her, but Drago grunted, pushed me aside to join Astrid.
'At least we're together now...'
She pushed me away and pretended to retch.
'Really, Snotlout? Really? Drago is breaking your dragon, and you're doing this?'
'I don't see it like that. I see it as us finding love in desperate circumstances. Kinda romantic, don't you think?'
'Shut up.' she snapped.
'Okay, if that's what you want. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to.'
'Then why are you doing this?'
'Because I love you.'
'I don't.'
'Denial to me is just a sign that you're hiding your true feelings.'
'These are my true feelings.'
'Sure. Whatever you say, Astrid.'
'Fine.'

I thought I would put in a bit of a joke that Snotlout still thinks Hookfang is a boy.

Fireproof - Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Call of a Night Fury

 

"ARRRROOOOAAAAHHHHHH!' I howled the Night Fury call.
Valka looked impressed.
"You've learnt a lot, Hiccup.' she said proudly.
Somewhere, in the distance, I could just make a faint reply to the roar. Wait...no, two replies to the roar.
It was cut off by a familiar voice screaming, "SHUT UP!'
Valka paled.
'Hiccup, I'll deal with him. I'll free Toothless. You go and free Eret.'
I nodded, even though I thought she would surely get killed.
'I've fought him, Hiccup, and I still lived to tell the tale...but only just. Thank Thor your father jumped from Skullcrusher and grabbed me just in time.'
'No Stoick to save you this time, Dragon Master.' a familiar voice sneered.
I knew who it was without turning around.
'Hiccup! Take Cloudjumper, and GO!'
I was frozen in fear.
'G-'
This cut-off cry was more terrifying to me, and I immediately sprang onto the Stormcutter.
'How do I fly you?' I asked him.
You do not need to. I can fly on my own, as you have seen me do with my Mistress.
At the word 'Mistress', the poor dragon whimpered in sadness. I stroked him gently.
We'll get her back. Now let's go find Eret.'
The man who used to work for the Dark One's Master?
'I'm assuming that by the 'Dark One', you mean Drago's Bewilderbeast?'
Is that what you call him? Drago?
'Yep.'
And we are going to find the man who used to work for him, but is now on our side?
'That's correct.'
Very well. Let us depart.

Fireproof - Chapter Thirty: How to Hold a Soldier Hostage

 

"THERE!' a soldier yelled. Cloudjumper blasted out flame, hitting the wooden deck where the soldier had been two seconds before; he was now running away.
I pulled Cloudjumper into a dive after him. Before he knew what was happening, the soldier found himself in the Stormcutter's claws.
'Hey.' I said good-naturedly.
'W-who are you...?' he stammered.
I took off my mask obligingly.
'The Dragon Master...' he gasped.
'Yep, that's me. I'm guessing you have orders from your boss to capture me?'
He nodded, still trembling.
'Well, you can tell him you have. I'm right here, completely defenceless. Cloudjumper won't harm you. You could just take out your sword...'
He did just that. I drew Inferno, and his sword burst into flames.
'Oops, I forgot. I have Inferno with me.'
I was answered by a cry of pain, as the soldier let go of Cloudjumper, on account of having burnt his fingers.
Cloudjumper grabbed him.
'Now, will you tell me where the rest of my team are?'
He opened his mouth, about to deny, but glancing at his burnt hand, he agreed.
'The girl with the axe, and the stocky boy, they're being guarded by dragons.'
'Take me there.'
'Yes- of course, sir...um, great Dragon Master.'
'Don't call me that.'
He saluted me.
