Chapter 10
Astrid's POV
It took us two whole days to prepare, but it was finally time to end this. I look to my left to see Hiccup, Snotlout, and the twins all crouching down behind the bushes that were in front of our tower. We had all merged with our dragons, and were awaiting the appointed time.
"Fishlegs, how's it going?" Hiccup asked quietly over the comm.
"We're on schedule here." Fishlegs replies.
Hiccup then calls Gobber. "Gobber everything good?"
There is some static on the other end, but Gobber could still be heard. "Aye lad. Yer dad ain't going anywhere."
There is suddenly an incoming call. "Heather what's up?" Hiccup asked.
"Just checking in. Everything looks good on our end." Heather replied.
It was now five till noon, and Hiccup contacted Alvin lastly. "Alvin everything set?"
"We're ready here." Alvin comments. "The boys are all fired up."
At noon Hiccup said over the comm. "Initiate Phase 1"
It took no time before explosions could be heard from different corners of the city. Phase 1 was designed to keep the police, and bounty hunters busy. With incidents happening all over the city they would be spread thin. This was to be Alvin's part. He knew all the gangs in Berk, they were tired of the martial law which was in effect, and they would follow his lead to end it.
Ruffnut was listening to a police scanner, and indicated to us that it was working. "Hiccup what about the civilians?" I asked concerned.
"Don't worry. Those guys know not to hurt anybody." Hiccup assured me.
"You threatened to plasma blast them, didn't you?" I ask.
"You know me so well babe." He replies smirking.
Another 10 minutes pass, and Ruffnut gives the all clear. "Heather, Dagur start Phase 2." Hiccup speaks into the comm., and we make a dash for the front entrance of the tower.
Phase 2 was a pincer attack. We would hit the tower, while Heather and her brother got rid of the corrupt officials in City Hall.
We quickly took care of the guards in front, and made our way up the floors after Hiccup disabled the security with his master password.
"Guys take a look at this." Tuffnut said as he pointed to one of the console screens in the training room control area that we had just cleared. "Looks like some of Drago's men are using the holographic training room. Want to give them a bit of a surprise sister?"
Ruffnut grins and pulls out a disc from the inside of her suite. "See if the computer can project this in that room." She said as she hands it to Tuffnut who lets out maniacal laughter.
"Let's see. Locking the door remotely. Now there is no escape." Tuffnut says, and loads the disc. Soon screams come from the closed door not far from the control area.
"Ruffnut, what was on that disc?" I ask wondering what could be so bad that the men's screams could be heard through that thick iron door.
"Just the complete collection of Barney & Friends." Ruffnut says casually as she whacks one of the men who was gaining consciousness.
"Why the hell do you have that?" Snotlout asked slightly shuddering.
"I was going to have Stoick watch it because his complaints gave me a headache." Ruffnut answers.
"Ruffnut we should definitely do that when we get back." Hiccup states.
It takes us roughly 23 minutes to secure the tower, when from the window we see a black SUV leaving the underground garage. "Hiccup, that's Drago making his getaway. He took the emergency passageways." I tell Hiccup who motions for me to follow him to the roof.
"Snotlout, Ruff, Tuff, take care of these guys." I tell them. "You can through them in with the others in the holographic room for all I care."
"Milady, is my evilness rubbing off on you?" Hiccup asked with mock surprise. "You are definitely a girl after my own heart."
My cheeks heat up at that statement.
Hiccup throws open the door to the roof, and in no time we are in the air.
Fishlegs called us on our communicators as we took to the air. "Guys I'm following you via satellite. I'll tell the others Phase 3 is now in effect. Once he reaches the destination we'll go directly to phase 4"
Phase 3 consisted of diverting Drago to where we wanted him to go. We were sending blasts at the road, and SUV intentionally missing. Drago easily took the streets we wanted to evade the blasts.
As we were nearing our destination Hiccup fired a plasma blast sending the car toppling.
As the smoke cleared we saw Drago scramble out of the car and head straight into City Hall for cover.
We flew through the doors, and saw that Heather and Dagur had Drago in their sights with a bound Deputy Mayor beside them.
"Give it up Drago. You lost." I yell.
Drago lets loose a yell of frustration then tells us. "I haven't lost a thing."
"Guys, take the Deputy Mayor in for questioning." Hiccup yells, and Dagur and Heather grab the bound man, and fly through a broken window.
"He'll be talking in no time." I tell Drago, and ready my spikes.
"I doubt it." Drago laughs at us. "Everything is pinned on him. I walk away scot-free." Besides you won't stand a chance against me, because I got this." Drago says holding up a vial of transparent red liquid.
"What the hell is that?" Hiccup asked perplexed.
"This boy, is the essence of the Red Death. A giant dragon now extinct. The other dragons all feared this one, and it took years just to gather this much." Drago says tauntingly. "If consumed I'll temporarily gain its powers. I'd hoped to use it against better adversaries."
As Drago was going to open the vial I shot a spike at it making him drop it. The vial fell to the floor and rolled away.
"Why you blasted wench!!" Drago yelled pulling out a gun. He shot at me but I'd managed to dodge.
"Hey Drago!!" Hiccup yelled letting Drago focus on him. "Here is what I think of the Red Death!!" Hiccup then fired a plasma blast at the vial, which had almost rolled under the table.
"NOOO" Drago yelled but he was too late to stop the blast from hitting.
The vial, and its contents had gone up in smoke.
"You bastard!" Drago yelled, and shot at Hiccup, who was unable to dodge completely, hitting him in the left leg.
As Hiccup fell to the floor in pain Drago dashed towards him, and grabbed him by the neck. I quickly extended the spike in my hand using it as a sword to attack Drago.
My attack causes him to let go of Hiccup, who was now coughing and trying to get his breath back.
"You bastards! I knew I should have gotten rid of you all much sooner!!" Drago yells.
"What like framing us for the Mayor's attempted assassination wasn't enough!!" I yell back.
"Bah! I shouldn't have been so lax in letting you all live. You've been nothing but a thorn in my side. I should have ordered Viggo and Ryker to shoot you lot instead of the Mayor." Drago hissed out.
Suddenly hysterical laughter could be heard. I turn, and see that it was coming from Hiccup. Drago was caught off guard by the laughter, and gave Hiccup a suspicious glare.
I let my own smile appear on my face.
"Well Drago, you certainly don't disappoint." Hiccup says from where he is limping. "I've been waiting for you to say that just so I can say this. Smile you're on international candid camera!!" Hiccup yells, and in come the others. Alvin, Dagur, Heather, Snotlout, and the twins all surrounded Drago.
"Wha...What!!" Drago yelled as they dogpiled on him.
"Allow me to explain. Everything from the moment you came into City Hall was just broadcasted worldwide." Hiccup grins as he explains it. "Isn't that right Mr. Eretson?"
"Yes it is Mr. Phantom. You just made my career." Eret Eretson comes into the building with his own cameraman.
I go to Hiccup to help him balance himself as the others carry a bound, and screaming Drago away.
"That was some plan." I tell him. "Having Heather, and Dagur set up those cameras, and using that device to transmit everything across the world."
"Thanks, although I didn't count on getting shot." Hiccup grimaced as he said this.
"Well Mr. Villain today you're a hero." I say, and then proceed to passionately kiss him.
"I could get used to it." Hiccup mumbles after the kiss ended. He then cups my head, and gives me another deep kiss.
"Ehghem." Could be heard, and we break the kiss to look over at a blushing Mr. Eretson.
"You know we are still transmitting right." He tells us.
A blush creeps over both of our cheeks. Then Hiccup says smirking "Oh well. The world has already seen two kisses. Let's make it a third."
