The sun had risen eagerly on the Village, the botched rescue from the night before had left half of the academy sleepless. Hiccup and Braden decided to stay in bed for the day, their dragons had similar ambitions. Stardust was on the mend and back outside Jay's cottage where she usually resided. Stoick offered Hita the key to a house and dragon stable for as long as she wanted, he felt they owed her that much. The village was waking up completely unaware of the goings-on of the night before. The sun was greeted by menacing clouds. The air was damp and thunder raged in the distance. Gobber looked in the direction of the cacophony. "Okay. Everybody... Hats off and weapons inside." Gobber announces to the people of Berk. Why Thor hated metal so much Gobber would never understand... not that he hadn't spent hours in thought on the subject. The shouts did not cause any stirring in the beds of Hiccup and his brother. Astrid went to call on Hiccup for training, despite the weather but Stoick prevented her from going inside. "They were up all night again Astrid, leave them sleep" He rests his massive hand on her shoulder. "But I can't spend the whole day with.... them" she gestures to Snotlout- who is licking his breakfast off his tunic "mmmm..." he closes his eyes and hums to the taste of boiled turkey egg- and then to Tuffnut and Ruffnut who were of course fighting over something or other. "Wait where's Fishlegs?"... "C'mon girl... hmm." he squeaks as Meetlug hovers over the forests of Berk. "Let's get you some nice rocks hmm?" He does not notice the fast approaching storm clouds now brushing the coastline. Fishlegs looked towards the village unsure of the time. "I think we have an hour at least come on." he nuzzles her neck with his nose as he hugs her and motions for her to move further from the village... The storm clouds were silent, dark and plotting. A large shape appeared from within the cloud landing on the rocky floor at the base of a harsh cliff. This was known as Badger's Face for a reason which not one inhabitant was aware of. It stood facing the sea at the opposite side of the island respective to the village. At the bottom of the cliff was a cave, the mouth of which was too small for a large dragon to enter but most vikings could fit through despite some difficulty. The shape made a gargling noise then from it came a voice. "Let's check this out" The shadow was actually a boy atop a dragon, a skrill no less... "Fishlegs!?" Astrid had searched the town from top to bottom looking for him. Nothing. "Snotlout, Ruff, Tuff we have to find him"... "Why?" Tuffnut grinned... "Just a little further then we'll turn back. Okay?" Meatlug grumbled noticing the proximity of the clouds. "You're right girl" Fishlegs misunderstood the sound she had made. "The best rocks ARE at Badger's face" The boy dismounted the skrill. Vlad was about 19 years old, athletically built and stood at around 5'8''. He had eyes which mirrored the sky, stormy and grey and medium length straight hair black as night. On his back was a bow and quiver and strapped to a belt were a set of daggers, one had a smooth edge for slicing, the other a jagged edge for gutting. He loved to hunt, and explore and with his skrill at his side he felt he could go anywhere, do anything... He stepped into the cave "Looks like you're going to have to wait outside.." he sighed as he realized he'd have to go in there alone if he wanted to explore past the entrance. Vlad steps gingerly inside the door into the dark. "Woah, it's dark in here", within the mountain was a closed cavern, there was just enough light for Vlad to see clearly when the whole place shook and he heard a loud clash then a crack. From outside the skrill looked on as lightning struck the cliff. Waves continued to lap against the rocky floor. Another bolt sent a shock wave through the cavern causing rocks to fall from the ceiling. Volt screamed as the cliff collapsed in front of the cave entrance, the rocks were too big and heavy for even him to move them. Inside, Vlad was cloaked in darkness as the world around him shrunk from a massive cavern to a five foot wide box of rubble and black.... |

Vlad cursed loudly to himself. He should've observed his surroundings properly before going into the cave. He was sure he would have noticed the loose rocks if he had just looked around a bit. He kicked into the darkness and his foot came into contact with a large rock. He cursed even louder. "Agghhhhh!" he yelled to the darkness "Thor help me!" He felt his way around the cave until he was back at the entrance, now a solid wall of rock. He tried to move the rocks but it was as if Thor himself was pushing against the rocks on the other side. He was usually strong but he was no match for these rocks. It was as if they planned how they were going to fall to make the most impenetrable barrier they could. Not even the flat of his blade could pass through the rocks. He hated to admit it but he would need help. "Volt!" He yelled through the wall "Volt!!! Where are you??" He hoped Volt could hear him. He listened closely and he heard Volt roaring at him from the other side of the wall. "Volt get help!!!" he yelled at the dragon. Volt however stayed put. He was not going to leave his rider alone in that cave. He prowled the outside of the cave-in trying to find a way in. He flew up into the storm clouds and blasted lightning at the rocks. The cave ceiling shook. "Volt! Stop it!!!" Vlad yelled "You'll crush me!" Volt heard his rider even form the sky He senses were very keen and he could even sense his rider's panic. He stopped and flew back down to the site of the cave in. He would just have to wait until Vlad could get himself out, He would protect the site of the cave in from anything that would further threaten his rider's life. He prowled the cave in looking for signs of danger. Vlad could tell what Volt was doing even though he couldn't see him. He knew his dragon all to well to know that he would never risk leaving him, even if it was to go find help. Vlad's only hope was that help would come to him and that Volt wouldn't kill them first. He then remembered that he was on a strange island. No one knew who he was, no one would know he was missing. He had only landed here because Volt and himself needed a rest and some fresh food and water. He had seen the cave while heading to the village to trade and decided to do a bit of exploring. He always loved exploring but as the old saying went- 'Curiosity Fell the Dragon' He sat with his back to the cave-in and began to think. He could only think of one species of dragon that would be able to get through this cave-in without collapsing the entire cave. He needed a boulder class dragon, He'd hate to have to run into a Whispering Death in such a dark and enclosed area and came to the conclusion that he needed a Gronckle. Not just any Gronckle either. He needed a friendly Gronckle that would not eat him and would eat through the rock and let him be. He picked up one of the rocks and brought it to his face. He recognized the smell and smiled broadly. It was Gronckle Nip, a special type of rock that all Gronckles loved. He was now sure that Gronckles came here to feed and realized that it would only be a matter of time before one came again to feed on the tasty rocks. He would just have to wait it out. "Don't worry Volt," he said to the dragon through the rubble "I'll be out of here soon, just as soon as another Gronckle passes by." The dragon sat outside quietly but he knew that he was listening. He was also keeping a constant lookout and trying to protect his rider. Vlad smiled. He was happy to have a dragon like Volt. Now he just hoped that the Gronckle he was sure to run into would be just as friendly. |

"Fishlegs?!" Astrid was frantic,her shouts were being drowned out by the wind and the thunder. The clouds had descended over the forest and Fishlegs was nowhere to be found. Astrid, Snotlout and the twins had flown in a zig-zagging pattern as they flew trying to cover the whole Island of Berk but still there was no sign of him... Fishlegs had bobbled along on top of Meatlug happily for long enough, but the thunder was to close for comfort, It was deafening. "Okay... one rock and that's it, we have to go back really soon..." a bolt of lightning forty feet away catches his attention, it slows Meatlug down just as she reaches the top of the cliff. Meatlug shared a look of fear and unsteadiness with her rider. They peeked over the edge of the cliff ready to spy an easy to lift rock that they could just grab and run... "A skrill!!" Fishleg gasped as Meatlug pulled him jaggedly back over the cliff and covered his mouth with her smothering claw, he put his own arm over her jaws and both held each other tight hoping the skrill hadn't heard them over the thunder. They closed their eyes and mumbled a prayer to Thor, then Odin... well to anyone who would listen, the two were petrified in fear, physically and mentally unable to fly away... "Does anyone have any idea where he could have gone??" Tuffnut tapped his forehead crudely then looked at Astrid blankly "Nope...well he could be at Badger's Face- I found him there one day looking for hard enough rocks because I wanted to see the colour of my skull but it didn't really turn out the way I-" Astrid sighed as he continued to mumble to himself. "You couldn't have said that earlier?" She was livid. "Well thunder prevents me from thinking... good" He gestured to Ruffnut "He's not lying, the last thunderstorm we had he tried to fly.... without belch... or clothes" Astrid gagged "I remember, forget it.. let's go, quickly. Fishlegs!!" The other teens continued to shout with her they shifted their course for Badger's Face... The clouds had grown darker yet, thankfully much more silent, but Fishlegs was the opposite of thankful, now he could not fly away without alerting the skrill to their presence so stayed put shivering with fear. It was then that he heard his name in the distance "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no." As Astrid came closer his voice got as quiet as still air. He motioned with his hands for them to quieten down as they approached him, but they... didn't. "There he is!" Astrid's announcement was well-heard by Volt. "No! There's a skrill!!" Fishlegs shouted a whisper "What's he saying? We know its chilly out!" Tuffnut had clasped his hands around his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs. Fishlegs had had it. "No there's a sk-!" Fishlegs was screaming but was interrupted by Astrid as she saw Volt peer over the top of the cliff. "SKRILL!!".... |

Volt heard a shout and stiffened. His body instantly began to spark up and soon arcs of lightning were bouncing off his body and connecting with anything within reach. He saw the source of the noise and was about to take off when he heard Vlad saying something through the cave-in. "Volt! Volt can you here me??" he had heard someone shout and was hoping Volt wouldn't scare them off. Maybe they could help him. "VOLT!!! WHAT DO YOU SEE BUDDY?? VOLT DON'T HARM THEM!! THEY COULD HELP ME!!" He shouted from inside the cave at whoever was outside. Hey hoped they had a Gronckle with them or else they'd be useless. Suddenly he heard Volt roar and could tell that he had taken to the skies. He just hoped Volt was off to help and not destroy. He sighed heavily. He doubted the other Vikings could hear him over the storm. He knew that the wind was blowing towards him and so sound would only carry to him and not away. He decided he'd just have to wait on Volt and hope for the best. He slumped down against the cave-in. "Come on Volt," he muttered to himself "You can do it." Volt was listening to Vlad when he heard the girl shout again. This time he recognized what she had said. She had said "Skrill" She was calling him. Maybe she was here to help. He usually wasn't the trusting type and was usually a little more cautious when it came to strangers but Vlad was in danger and he abandoned all his usual trepidations. He took of into the sky and was immediately embraced by the lightning. He flew towards the teens and their dragons, riding the lightning to give him a boost. He roared at them, telling them what had happened. Why were they not rushing to his aid. Maybe he should get closer. He flew directly towards the girl who had shouted. She would understand, after all, she had called him in the first place. He flew towards her at top speed. She was reaching for something. She was going to help. He felt it before he saw it. It was a stone hammer and it had hit him smack in the face. She wasn't going to help. She was trying to kill him. Then she would go for Vlad. He quickly retreated into the darkening clouds. The clouds darkened further just at his presence. They would not beat him. He was in his element and he would not lose to these dragons. He summoned all the lightning he could as far as he could reach. He charged at the group, full sized arcs of lightning dancing on and around his body. He would not be defeated. |

Fishlegs and Meatlug embraced the ground keeping out of the skrill's sights. Astrid's hammer had fallen from the cliff having been hit by one of the arcs springing from the apparently hostile dragon. "We can't take him on without Toothless or Scar we have to go back to the village! NOW!" She turned Stormfly around and motioned for the others to follow her, and they did gladly... but Fishlegs and his dragon still cowered beneath the skrill who had yet not seen them. "hmmm.." a high pitched squeal leaves his mouth as he tries to call his retreating friends for help, but he did not have the courage to shout... |

As he charged at the group of dragons and teens they began to retreat. They were smart. They knew better than to try to fight him. He turned back to the cave-in and flew towards it with a smug look on his face. He roared triumphantly. "VOLT!!!" Vlad yelled through the rubble. Volt roared once more. Vlad listened intently after but he heard nothing else. Either the Vikings were extremely quiet or Volt had scared them off. He yelled at the darkness. Did he really expect Vikings to follow a Skrill?? He would have to get out of here on his own. Volt would not be of any help in this case. He took out his daggers and began stabbing at the rock pile hoping to loosen some of the rocks. After about five minutes a pebble fell to the ground. If he kept up at this rate he'd be out in the next few years. Hi sighed and slumped down once more. "If only I had a stupid Gronckle!!" he yelled to himself. Volt was outside prowling the site off the cave in once more. Suddenly he heard Vlad shouting and ran up to the rocks. He only caught the last word, "Gronckle" Why was Vlad talking about Gronckles at a time like this? Shouldn't he be trying to get out? While Volt pondered he heard something a ways off. It was a whimper.His head lashed towards the source of the feeble noise. He scanned the surroundings and after a few seconds, he found what he was looking for. It was another Viking and dragon. They had come back for Vlad. He was about to take off when he saw the dragon the boy was riding. It was a Gronckle. He quickly ran up to the rubble and began to roar at Vlad, telling him what he'd seen. "Agh why are you roaring so much??" Vlad complained "You'll drive me deaf!" But Volt continued his roaring. When he realized Vlad didn't seem to be paying attention he decided he would have to do this on his own. He would bring the Gronckle to Vlad. He didn't know why Vlad wanted a Gronckle but he would bring it anyway. He took off towards the boy and the Gronckle. He wondered if Vlad wanted the Gronckle alive or not. He doubted a dead Gronckle would be of much use so he decided alive would be better. As he approached the Gronckle he began to explain what had happened to Vlad, to the Gronckle. Unlike the other riders, this rider did absolutely nothing to harm Volt but rather sat atop his dragon trembling and whining. The Gronckle listened intently to what he was saying without question. After a few minutes of conversation between Volt and the Gronckle, who's name was apparently Meatlug, the Gronckle agreed to help him and his rider. "Follow me." he told Meatlug, and he flew off towards the collapsed cave. |

Meatlug followed, trying to ignore the sobbing of her distressed rider. "I'm too young to die!" he cried while trying to steer Meatlug around. His attempts though were futile. Volt lead the way to the closed cave and Meatlug took the initiative and began dismantling then chewing the rubble while Fishlegs sat on her back awkwardly, wiping his eyes and glancing briefly at the horrifying yet impressive dragon behind him. "Ehhh... Hi." he tried to smile and wave but the dragon was uninterested. Volt was only eager to see Vlad safe and on the outside of that cave... |

Vlad heard a giant thump outside the cave-in and the then heard the sound of the rubble moving. He stood up excitedly. Volt had done it. He had found a Gronckle. Either that or he had understood enough of what Vlad had said to let the Gronckle pass and have it's midday snack. Either way he would soon be free. After a few minutes he also heard a whimpery voice. There was someone out there as well. So it wasn't a ride Gronckle. It was a rider and their dragon. Maybe they could take him to the local village so he could get something to eat. He was starving. He'd been flying all through the night last night and hadn't eaten since the previous day's breakfast. He was sure Volt was hungry as well. He was also tired and needed to rest. He had planned to make a camp in the forest after exploring the cave and then go fishing for lunch but he no longer had the motivation to do so. Right now, a village lunch and preferably a warm bed was seeming pretty nice compared to roasted fish and a grass bed. He stayed quiet the entire time as he didn't want to risk scaring the kid and the Gronckle away. The kid already sounded terrified as it was. After about ten minutes a beam of sunlight shone through the cave. He quickly stuck his hands through the hole and began to help remove some of the rock himself. He heard the kid scream something that sounded like "Cave monster!" at the sight of his hands but the Gronckle seemed unperturbed and kept on eating. After about a minute longer there was a hole big enough for him to escape. He climbed out of the darkness and into the sunlight nearly giving the chubby kid, on the now full and smiling Gronckle, a heart-attack. Volt ran up to him and nuzzled him affectionately. The kid looked about ready to faint. The Gronckle however looked pleased with itself. He turned to the chubby kid and extended his hand in greeting. "Hi I'm Vlad and this is Volt!" he said as friendly as possible "And you are.......?" |
