61A/N:All excuses at bottom...lol.
Relative Earth Time: May the 11th, 2716
Five days after Berkfall
Location: Extreme low orbit of a Main Sequence Star, Eclipse System.
"Toothless!" Hiccup yelled fearful for his life, the sight unfolding before him was undeniably beautiful as it was lethal. "Toothless!" He cried, reaching out for his sentient dragon class starship.
"Hiccup!" Toothless called back, his voice was scared, and if autonomous sentient spaceships could cry, he would be. The gap between the two was too great for Hiccup to return to the safety of Toothless's crew cabin. The arching coronal loop grew ever bigger and was larger than anything Hiccup had ever seen, and it was directly in their flight path. Toothless's Hex Hull Plating was designed to protect him from these such occasions; Hiccups Exo-Space suit was not.
Once again Hiccup desperately reached out for Toothless, as the loop of superheated plasma, hotter than even the surface of the sun was quite literally about to cook him.
Only an hour prior
"Ah!" Hiccup cried out, followed by a short string of curses. He clutched his hand in pain.
"Language Hiccup." Toothless spoke casually, his 'mind' still focused on his task. "Would did you do this time?" He asked
"Oh, I just caught my finger between the power cell and the back panel." Hiccup explained, reaching back into the exposed panel, filled to the brim with strange looking wires and circuits, each bright and glowing an arbitrary color.
"Oh! Well, that doesn't seem like much to curse about…" Toothless began.
"Then got electrocuted with Mythril Energy." Hiccup finished.
"Oh…" Was Toothless's response. Mythril energy was the energy Hiccup discovered accidentally during his experiments; it was far more powerful than anything that the galaxy had discovered yet. Its consistency was almost like liquid, yet it swished like a mist, in some strange combo of 'liquid mist.' Mythril Energy could be used to create the most powerful of machines and even the most powerful of weapons, so Hiccup used it to create a battery. Several of them in fact.
"How is the adjustment to the sensors coming along?" Hiccup asked.
"After many failed attempts I have finally reached a conclusion," Toothless said albeit vaguely. "I give up." Hiccup groaned, mentally face palming. "The external sensors were not designed to withstand radiation and heat like this, Hiccup; it can't be done."
"What about the comms? Can we communicate with anyone?" Hiccup desperately asked, something catching his eye from the back of the exposed panel.
"No, same situation. We can't do anything this close to the star." Toothless dismissed. Hiccup looked more closely to a red blinking light he had failed to notice before
Wiping away some grime from the small, minuscule panel, the digits 'PC-V-06' lay written in a bold easily readable font next to the red blinking light. Of course, since Hiccup constructed Toothless with his on hands, he knew exactly what the digits meant. The first letters where the device or conduit, the second digit was the location of the apparatus, the third and final figures were the designated number. In this case, 'PC-V-06" stood for "Number six power conduit on the ventral section of the ship."
"Toothless." Hiccup began. Toothless hummed, shifting his attention. "What does PC-V-06 power?"
"Main engines, rear hover drive and the ventral stern weapons." Toothless listed. "Why?"
"The analog checking system says it's down." Hiccup said standing and moving to the pilot's seat. Pressing multiple holographic buttons, he brought up the schematics of Toothless. "Now if PC-V-06 is damaged, we can assume it's leaking Mythril Energy, right?"
"Assuming it's leaking." Toothless pointed out.
"It has to be, we have yet to find anything else, and it's been five Earth days." Hiccup retorted. "It would also explain why the engines aren't operational."
"Good point, so what do we do about it then." Toothless asked, seemingly looking over the schematics himself.
"Well first, where is it?" Hiccup shifted his position to lean forward.
"Here," Toothless said grimly.
"Oh, Um." Hiccup said shocked. "It's outside." The 3D schematics rolled, to present a view of Toothless's underside, where a red crosshair pointed out the location of the damaged power conduit.
"Hiccup, you can't go out there and fix this one. It's borderline million degrees out there. My shielding and hull can protect us, but your fragile body won't." Toothless interjected before Hiccup could start spouting ideas.
"What do you expect us to do then?" Hiccup argued.
"Wait." Toothless replied directly.
"For a rescue? Everyone thinks I'm dead," Hiccup retorted. "And if our sensors can't penetrate the radiation, then theirs won't be able to either. We have to act to live. We are in a decaying orbit with a power leak."
"Then send the Sharpshot drone out to repair the damage." Toothless offered.
"No, its not ready, it's hex-hull has yet to be completed and calibrated and it would incinerate the moment it left the micro-hangar. Plus its engines would burn out before it could complete its task." Hiccup explained.
"So what do we do then?" Toothless asked. The NF-A01's light dimming was slightly indicating that the Toothless AI was upset.
"Well." Hiccup stood, moving over to a small cabinet. "My E.S.S is calibrated, and won't withstand the stars heat and radiation, but if I calibrate it and add a personal shield, boosted by a Mythril Cell, then I will survive." He said, pulling out the Exo-Space Suit out of the locker and placing it on the bench, where several of his tools already laid. "Depending on if I calibrate it correctly…" he mumbled.
"Are you sure." Toothless crooned worriedly.
"Yes, just give me time to do this." Hiccup dismissed and began quickly working.
He knew he couldn't mess any of the calculations up or get any wrong. Doing so would result in his life.
Meanwhile.
He very tall man ran down a massively high corridor, furnished with a foreign stark white material and gold finishings on every edge and indent. The man's giant feather wings swished harmlessly behind him.
He passed many guards, wearing exquisite, yet very real armor, like knights. But all knew this was a very powerful Power Armor which only aided the guards highest level of ancient traditional training. Each guard had their wings, each armored and slightly different like a fingerprint.
A tall man ran towards a large golden gilded door, where two guards stood waiting to open it for him, which they promptly did so.
The man ran the length of the new room, a massive hall with stunningly decorated pillars depicting scenes of dragons flying. He came closer to a large throne, where he knew his Alpha Prime sat.
An even taller man, with pitch black dragon wings adorning his back and pitch black armor on his sturdy frame, stood from his chair confused to why his Galactic Commander was coming to see him so urgently.
The Commander skidding to a halt on his knees, bowing desperately before his Alpha Prime, the highest ranking member of his entire people. "My Alpha Prime!" he began.
"What is it, Commander." The Alpha Prime questioned.
"It's the Bray-zyn's." the Commander spoke. "They've set their sights on the Milky Way Galaxy."
The Alpha Prime stepped back in shock. "How long till they reach the galaxy?" His voice was powerful and commanding.
"Four days." The Commander said. The Alpha Prime glanced at the ground before striding back towards where the Commander came from, the Commander hot on his heels. The Alpha Prime's cloak was seemingly flowing around with an invisible wind.
"Launch the Fleet!" The Alpha Prime bellowed. "The Milky way must be defended at all costs!"
"Yes, sir." The Commander said, still trailing quickly behind the taller Alpha Prime.
"What is the closest human colony to us." The Alpha Prime asked, his long strides making it difficult for the shorter commander to keep up.
"Reports say there is a small human colony on an oxygen, nitrogen planet it a system locally known as the Eclipse System." The Commander said, referencing a holo screen then appeared in front of him, slowly hovering in front of his face, moving with him. He pushed the hologram away from him, making a large holographic solar system appear in front of the two of them, which, like the screen, moved along with them down the hallway. The Alpha Prime shared a small glance before passively wiping the hologram away.
"Transport." He said, and the two teleported from the hallway to a corridor of a nearby ship. The moved onto the bridge, and the Alpha Prime sat in his designated seat, while the Commander stood by his side. "This isn't going to be easy, Travyn." He muttered so only he and Commander Travyn could here.
"Alezyr, we just have to defend what's left of the humans, especially after what we did to them." Travyn said, Alezyr just nodded.
"Alpha Prime Alezyr, the fleet is at your command." A crew member informed. Alezyr nodded and stood.
" my fellow Vyil! Today we launch to defeat the last of the Bray-zyn's and make them pay for the atrocities they have caused to our race." Alezyr paused. "And with my permission as your Alpha Prime, you have a go for launch." And with that hundreds if not thousands of starships fired their engines and took to the skies.
Back with Hiccup.
"Okay. so trying to jerry-rig a Mythril cell onto my ESS was not the best idea." Hiccup said, standing up again, fresh electrocution burns on his left arm.
"No." Toothless drawled.
"But I think I got it." Hiccup said, assessing his work. It was makeshift, but I would work temporarily. "I have all my tools, and I am ready to go EVA. What do you think?"
"I'm not sure about this Hiccup; we're are about to be in a rather unstable part of the star surface." Toothless accounted. "Murphy's law Hiccup, Murphy's Law!"
"We have no choice; the power will be drained completely in two days. We need to slow the leak at least." Hiccup said before inhaling heavily.
"Are you ready?" Toothless crooned worryingly.
"I'm ready." Hiccup said confidently. And with that, the cockpit hatch began to open.
A/N: So I know I haven't been around for a long while, and for that I truly apologize.
Seeya!
Lol JK, I do apologize, I truly do. Nothing else but life got in the way. I have been tirely working to secure a somewhat average future for myself, and I have seemed to settled in a nice place in our crappy little planet. BUT! That doesn't mean I will update often at the moment, I find it difficult to write, because I am super lazy. Just upgraded my computer lol and I have been binge playing games I couldn't play before.
With nothing else left to say and by this point I doubt anyone will be reading anymore, I bid you farewell. Till next time, hopefully not too long from now.
Attero.
