Chapter 3

Hiccup's POV

I saw the Fury smile the gummy one that Toothless usually gives me when he's about to do something including mischief, and then it shoot out of the shelter and behind us. We scrambled on top of the woodpile and grabbed the wall surrounding the shelter. We looked around and then we herd two screams and then there was a flash of blue and gold before there was a slam and we went to the pit it dug and saw the twins in it unconscious. Then there was another scream, Snotlout, and he was dropped from high in the air on the twins waking the two up. Then there was another scream, Fishlegs, and his screaming went on as he got closer. 

We went over to the edge of the shelter's walls again and saw the dragon dragging him by a foot with it's tail and he was trying to grab the ground to slow himself, but the dragon was strong, much stronger than him. It lifted and flicked it's tail and he was thrown in with the others, and then the dragon went over and closed the lid. The two of us were laughing hysterically and then it put a foot on the trapdoor and grabbed a log from the pile next to the freezer and put the log on the wooden plank. 

Then it went around us as we settled down and it grabbed our dishes, and brought them over to another hole on the far side of the shelter and burned all of it through till it was ash. I went over to it and tapped it's shoulder, and found that it was surprisingly smooth, but there were rough lines along it. It looked behind at me and I pointed to the others trapped in the hole. 

"Their our friends" I said and it pointed to the hole and looked at me and I nodded and then it looked at Astrid and I saw her nod as well and it huffed and went over to them, bit the log, and put it back before taking the plank off and taking out Fishlegs by biting his shirt and I saw it's muscles tense up as it lifted him out. Then it took out the twins and left Snotlout in there as he tried to get out himself and the dragon looked back at us. I saw Astrid smile with me and she shook her head, it was about time he got put in his place. When he was out the dragon put the lid back and they went over to us but Fishlegs who was engrossed in the new dragon. 

"What kind is it? What can it do? What gender is it? Why does it have scars all over it's body?" the last question made it stiffen and it used it's claw to fiddle on the ground. I wish I could understand it, but I couldn't, and it sucked. 

"Fishlegs give it some room" I said and he reluctantly did as I asked, but it was still stuck to the dragon. Then I noticed that it did have scars, all over it's body, some were long, others were short and one on it's chest in particular struck me. It looked like a spear but with a U attached to the top and spikes at the top, and there was a diagonal line through the long part of it. The Dragon sighed and turned to us with the look of a broken warrior in it's eyes, like it had been apart of something big, and was the only survivor. 

"What happened to you" I asked coming up to it and touching it's shoulder and trying to avoid the scars, but they were everywhere "what do we call you" and it started to move it's claw in the ground before tossing away a patch of grass and then it started to write, or something. 

I. Was. Betrayed. By. My. Friends. And. Banished. From. My. Family. I. Have. No. Name. Not. Anymore. And. So. Far...No Home. Either. It finished what it was writing and turned away from us with everyone silent after reading this, even Snotlout was more silent than ever, and I saw it's sail flatten and suddenly the side fins of it's tail sprang up while the top and bottom fins flattened themselves to the tail and it shot up and into the sky. 

"Hey" I yelled running after it and then I blew my dragon whistle and everyone's dragons landed in-front of it growling, and it stopped and the flaps on it's tail went flat against it's tail and then they shot out again along with two more flaps on the top and bottom of it's tail and it's end lengthened a little. I jumped around it and in-between the dragons and it looked at me curiously, and then the others came by and I put my hands out towards both Toothless and the new Fury. 

I heard a sheathing sound and I saw the top and bottom tail flaps of the new Fury go down and the end of it's tail also shrank. I breathed in relief when it went back to the way it was and then it turned around and lumbered back to it's shelter and slammed the door after it got in. 

I looked at the others and then the dragons and we all mounted and flew back to the village. I looked in it's shelter to see were he was, but I only saw the tail poking out of his little house. 

"What do you think we should name him" I asked Astrid, who was on my right 

"What about Stealthwave?" she asked and I thought about it and then found that it fit his character "what about all of those scars, how do you think he got them, his friends"

"Maybe, but we'll ask him about the name tomorrow, or something" I said "he didn't eat fish though...why?" I asked "he didn't eat our sheep either" 

"I don't know" she said and we went by the rest of the day. I was in the forges making a new helmet when I heard a loud roar and some screeching deep in the forest in the direction of the new Fury's home. Almost half of the village ran into the forest with weapons and such and I was joined by Astrid and Snotlout as we ran to the others. Then we reached it's home and it was a mess, and everything was either flattened or blasted apart like a shock-wave hit it, and then it hit me.

"A Thunderdrum caused this" I said "what would make it mess with Stealthwave, especially after how much work and the signs around his territory?" I whispered to Astrid and she looked around as confused as I was. Then we saw him, he was lying down off to the side and was looking at his home and tears came to his eyes and then he saw us and he jumped out of the tree and was about to fly away. 

"Wait Stealthwave, please" he froze when I said the name that we thought for him, and he turned around and huffed but stayed as everyone surrounded him and his flaps spread again as he prepared to defend himself, and he looked at me and the flaps closed a little. They were about to move forwards when me and my mother, surprisingly, stepped forward and stopped them. 

"Don't hurt him" we both said and we looked at each-other confused before I broke the stare and went up to him and patted his shoulder, and his tail flaps closed and his tail returned to normal. I stayed next to him and then mother came up and put something in-front of his nose. His eyes dulled and then they flashed a sea red and he whacked away the Dragon Nip and mom stumbled back surprised as we were, and when his eyes returned to normal. He didn't go after her, but mom carefully came back and when he didn't growl at her. She circled him with him following her like Toothless had. 

"He's different than Toothless, much different" she said "the fin on his back looks like it is used for faster swimming. Can you put it down?" Stealthwave put his flap down and then up again making her gasp "even though he doesn't have webbed feet his wings help him go faster in the air and the water, and the four flaps on his tail. I have no idea" Stealthwave opened the top flaps, the side flaps, and then all four causing the end of his tail to shoot out and stab into a shield and he ripped it out and took the shield with him as he tried to shake it off of his tail, and then he went onto his back and used his front paws and teeth to pry it off and it slid a little and then came off and he closed the flaps and his tail returned to normal. 

"That's strange" Valla said "I've never seen a tail do that before, what else can you do" she looked at Stealthwave curiously and he smiled, and then made his teeth come out like Toothless' and she smiled and laughed, "anything else?" Stealthwave shot into the air with the side flaps open and then he dived into the water and disappeared. 

"He can camouflage in the water" Astrid said, "that's why we didn't see him as he followed us" 

"What?" Valla turned on us both as Astrid said that to me, "what do you mean followed you here?" 

"I told you before already. We found him in a cell tied up to a ship and then he went underwater and we had to leave before the ship blew up, and he don't know if Draco's dead or not either" I said and then the water rose up and a section of it darkened to reveal Stealthwave in the middle of the water smiling greatly, and then more of the wave darkened to form words. 

He's dead It faded I saw his burned body sink past me into the depth of the cove and I slept for the night underwater, chained up 

"Wait are you controlling the water" I asked going to the edge of the cliff 

Yes I can control the water, ice, breathe ice, flame, and that plasma stuff your dragon shoots out as well as water we all looked at it in disbelief and it opened it's mouth and a giant jet of water shot out, me and my mother fell to the floor as it sailed past us and hit Snotlout right in the chest drenching him and making him fly out and hit a tree before falling down it and groaning as he got up and walked up to us and then he pointed his finger at the dragon. 

"Do that again" he said and the dragon smirked evilly and another stronger jet of water shot out of it's mouth and instead of blasting him back it wrapped around his body and threw him in the air and he landed in the water. Then he shot out and at us and flew helmet first into a tree, and he saw the words in the water and ran off. 

Test me again human? I dare you.

Valla was very surprised and her face was that of pure wonder and pride, but at what I didn't know.
