Chapter 39: A Time to Skrill ( Part 4 )
A/n: Just so you know, there's going to be a few changes, because well...Saga is on a mission of her own. Anyway I hope you like the chapter!
______________________________________________________________________________________
Saga, Serenity, and Dreamsong hid out of the sight as Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout Spitelout ( who was riding with his son ), and the twins were waiting at the entrance of a ravine to trap the Skrill while Hiccup and Toothless were leading the Skrill to the trap. Hiccup and Astrid thought Saga and her two dragons were at the village, but Saga had lied to them about wanting to be left alone as she didn't want them or the gang to expect her to follow them, as she had her own plans for when the Skrill arrives, which she had told to the twins and asked them to join the gang to make it less suspicious, which both twins agreed. Dreamsong was holding the green leaf-like dragon egg in her front paws with a worried expression as she waited for any sight of the Skrill. Saga then put on her goggles with a smile as she saw Hiccup and Toothless with the Skrill in the distance.
Fishlegs: Here he comes!
Astrid: Okay, as soon as it's inside and Hiccup and Toothless are clear, we seal it up.
Tuffnut: And get Gothi, because once we return, Saga will unleash her wrath upon us.
Ruffnut: And it won't be fun...for you guys, she'll probably spare us because we're family.
Hiccup and Toothless then dived into the ravine then towards the tunnel, but the Skrill stopped at the ravine entrance.
Fishlegs: Uh-oh.
Snotlout: What's going on? Why did he stop?
Fishlegs: Call me crazy, but I think he knows it's a trap.
That's when Saga and Serenity flew out of hiding and Dreamsong followed them as they headed towards the Skrill at the ravine.
Astrid: Saga?! What's-
Tuffnut: ( honestly: ) Did you guys really think we are that stupid enough to go on a mission that we know would upset our little alchemist sister?
Ruffnut: For shame, and we thought you all knew us.
Snotlout: ( groans ) Of course, Saga had something up her sleeve and her influence had to affect the twins.
The Skrill was about to start blasting at the ice to seal Hiccup and Toothless inside the tunnel like they did to him, but as soon he caught a glimpse of Dreamsong in the corner of his eyes, he turned his attention to the black furred dragon, seemingly almost forgetting about his thirst for revenge upon seeing the strange feathered winged dragon. The Skrill then flew into the air, seemingly heading straight towards Dreamsong, making the furred dragon roar happily to seeing the electric dragon.
Spitelout, still wanting revenge on the Skrill, points at the Skrill to Hookfang, urging him to attack, which, sadly, Hookfang does.
The sudden stream of fire not only startled Dreamsong, but it angered the Skrill, causing the other riders to try to " save " the alchemist and her two dragons, which caused Saga to become annoyed.
Saga: Of course, I should've expected the Jorgensens to ruin things.
The Skrill kept his focus on the other riders while flying in front of Dreamsong, Saga, and Serenity, the alchemist and the stormcutter seemingly have gotten on the electric dragon's good side for bringing Dreamsong to him. The Skrill showed no interest towards the Jorgensens when they fell out of the sky onto the snowy ground below after causing them to crash when they were avoiding his attacks.
Snotlout: ( while waving an axe with his father: ) Bring it on, Sparky!
The Skrill seemed to not like what Snotlout called him as he was about to electrocute the two Jorgensens when he was distracted by a plasma blast.
Toothless and Hiccup then circled around the Skrill, Saga and Serenity then got in front of them, Saga giving Hiccup her stern mom glare. Dreamsong quickly flew to the Skrill's side and looked at Hiccup and Toothless with a pleading look in her eyes as she flew beside the Skrill with the green leaf-like dragon egg in her paws.
Saga: ( Sternly, to Hiccup: ) Don't. You. Dare.
Snotlout: . . . Is it just me or am I noticing that Hiccup seems to have a thing for scary, blonde girls?
Snotlout's statement caused Astrid to glare at him.
Tuffnut: The lover's tiff continues!
Ruffnut: We told you guys earlier to listen to the alchemist. But no!
The group then watched in worry as Saga, Serenity, and Dreamsong then began flying north, leading the Skrill away as the Skrill's focus was currently on protecting the black furred dragon and the egg she was holding in her front paws, and Hiccup and Toothless followed after them.
Hiccup: Saga! Stop, we can talk about this!
Saga: Oh, now you want to talk? Not a chance when you are still planning on trapping this poor Skrill, Haddock!
Little did Saga, her dragons, or the Skrill know that they were flying over Dagur and the hunters.
Dragon hunter: ( to Ryker: ) Cap, there's a storm approaching. Should we change course, sir?
Ryker: Yes. Turn about, due South.
Dagur then recognized the flashes of light in the clouds.
Dagur: Wait a minute. Nobody move.
Ryker: ( annoyed: ) Oh, what is it now, Dagur?
Dagur: That's no storm. I'd know those magnificent flashes anywhere. That's my Skrill! Head towards it!
Ryker: What? A Skrill, you say? That's very rare. Very valuable. You've seen this one before?
Dagur: Have I seen it? I've owned it. It's mine! All mine! After all these years, my baby's home. Come home to Daddy Dagur, Skrilly. I've missed you so!
One of the hunters was about to take aim on one of the ballistas, but Dagur stopped him.
Dagur: Don't even think about it. That's my dragon up there.
Ryker: Let him handle this. He knows the dragon better than any of us.
That's when one of the flashes, revealed the silhouette of Saga, Serenity, and Dreamsong within the clouds to Dagur and the hunters.
Ryker: Saga. ( Quickly, to the hunters: ) Hold your fire, my niece and a Night Searcher up there.
Dagur: Saga? Why would she lead a Skrill and a weird looking dragon right to us? It's not my birthday. Or is it?
Serenity then fired a warning blast at the night fury and his rider, revealing that they were there to the hunters below and Dagur.
Dagur: Hiccup? Of course he's here, he's leading them to us without knowing it. Be ready! When the Skrill gets spooked, it'll run for the clouds. And we don't want it to channel that lightning. Oh, no, we don't.
Dreamsong then stopped for a moment with a fearful expression as she seemed to sense danger near, causing the Skrill, the alchemist, and the stormcutter to stop for a moment with her.
Dagur: Archers, fire!
Before Saga or the three dragons could react in time to avoid the arrows, one of the arrows hits Saga's side at the same time as another arrow hits Dreamsong in the side, causing her to scream out in sudden pain as she fell off Serenity, she and Dreamsong falling from the sky at the same time. Dreamsong held onto the dragon egg in her paws even when she was losing focus.
Hiccup: SAGA!!!
Serenity and the Skrill quickly, without hesitation flew down to try to save Dreamsong and the alchemist, but it only led to them getting shot down.
The last thing Saga saw before she hit the water was all three dragons falling alongside her and the blurred figures of Hiccup and Toothless in the sky before everything went black...but before she fully lost consciousness she heard Ryker's voice.
Ryker: Hurry, get her and those dragons onto the boat quickly! And whoever fired that arrow, will be losing a head for hurting my niece!
After hearing that, Saga fully lost consciousness...
