Title: Chaos in the movie (side story to Mayhem in the theater)
Somewhere above the high seas in the HTTYD universe a portal opened spitting out 2 figures, and their dragons. One of those figures could be seen frantically flailing his arms, while the other simply free-fell with a look of exasperation as she took in her partner's panicked face.
Vala's POV
"AAAAHHH! Vala why do you open your portals so high up." Red yelled as he watched a tiny island become visible below them.
"I can't control in what area the portals will spit us out. Only the the part of the timeline where we need to be, and the height of the portal above the area." I tell Red. "Besides do you want me to teleport us on an unknown island where a superstitious Viking tribe may be? I like to keep my head you know."
"Oh right. Vikings attack first, attack again, and then maybe ask questions." Red says finally realizing the situation.
"That island seems familiar" I mumble as the ground gets closer.
"Vala! How can you not panic! We are gonna be pancakes soon" Red yelled with panic in his eyes.
I simply point up. Red looks up, and sees Opal, and Gandor flying, and snickering at his panic.
"Oh" was all I hear him say as we fall further towards the ground.
Soon the volcanic peaks of the island were visible. A desolate wasteland of gray sand could be seen from above.
"Damn. I know where we are." I say, and motion to our dragons to get us.
"Where?" Red asked looking curiously at the island below.
"Outcast island. Not somewhere we wanna be." I say as I climb onto Opal's back.
Just as we pull up I hear shouts from the island, and see catapults being loaded.
"Evasive maneuvers" Red yells.
We bank narrowly avoiding the flaming boulders, and bolas, which causes us to split up. I take Opal into a dive towards the mist, and sea stacks around the island. I see Red, and Gandor following only to be struck by a bola, and crash on the northern part of the island.
I grumble as I watch Outcast swarm them, and take them captive. Opal gives me a worried croon. "Don't worry girl. Those guys don't know who they are messing with." I tell her, and pat her head as I begin to plot.
Red's POV
'Ouch' I think after hitting the ground hard. I open my eyes, and see Gandor laying beside me dazed. Just then we are surrounded by large burly men holding various pointy weapons.
"Well well. A dragon rider. So nice of you to drop in." I hear as the men part. I see Alvin the Treacherous approach. "Bag him boys. We got ourselves a prize." Alvin says as Gandor, and I are being swarmed.
I was thrown into a cell with only a small window. Gandor was placed in the cell across from me. I reach to my side only to find my bag missing. Alvin who was near the bars chuckles. He holds up my bag, and watch.
"I've learned not to leave a rider with any tools. Even if they are weird." He chuckles. "You boy will be training dragons for me later."
"I don't think I will." I told Alvin, who preceded to chuckle.
"Oh you will boy, and as soon as I get yer friend, you shall be more than willing." Alvin says with a smirk.
I suddenly begin to laugh. "You will have a pretty hard time getting my friend. She is a bit of…. Shall we say… a witch." I say smirking as I take in Alvin's shocked look.
"No witch scares me boy, and don't bother trying to escape. These cages are dragon proof." Alvin says as he departs.
I sigh when I suddenly hear a giggle from the window. "A witch huh."
I turn, and see Vala at the little window. "What are you doing here? They'll capture you too." I tell her.
"I was hoping to break you two out, but since these are dragon proof it will be difficult." I hear Vala say. "But your talk with Alvin gave me an idea." She says as I see a wicked smirk cross her face.
"Eh, Vala what are you planning?" I ask getting slightly worried for the Outcasts.
"You'll see. I just need you to wait for a couple of hours." She tells me, and then I see her quickly depart.
'Let's just hope she leaves the island standing.' I think with a shudder. Gandor who was watching us covers his eyes with his paws.
"Yeah I know." I tell him.
-Time skip- 10 hours later-
It has already been almost half a day, and I begin to wonder where that crazy girl is. There is a clanking sound, and I look up to see two Outcast guards opening my cel. They take me out of my cell, and drag me in front of Alvin.
"Well boy. Let's start training those dragons." Alvin says holding a sword to my neck.
"Do you really think that helps? I won't be training any dragons." I say, and glare back at him.
Just as Alvin was going to retort an explosion was felt as the doors to the room were blown off their hinges.
"ALVINNNN!" Could be heard from the the woman dressed in a flowing red dress with long black hair which was slightly graying along the edges, and iron nails as she marched towards the man.
"M..M…..Mother!" Alvin asked with a shocked look on his face. "What are you doing here?"
Alvin was hit above the head by his mother. "Are you an idiot boy!" She yelled then pointed towards me. "Is this your companion?" She asked with a tilt of her head.
"Yes he is Excellinor. I will want him back." I hear from the doorway, and see Vala standing there taking in the scene with mirt.
I mouth to her 'What the hell', and that infuriating smirk crosses her face again.
"Alvin" The woman named Excellinor questioned in a deadly tone. "The boy told you he was with a witch, did he not?"
"Y….Yes mother." Alvin says looking pale.
"You chose to ignore that warning." Excellinor continues. "She as a fellow witch has asked me to intervene before she declares a blood feud with you, and levels your island. You of all people know better than to ignore a warning."
"But...But….." Alvin begins.
"No buts. You will release him, and his dragon.
"Very well. Boy you are free to go." Alvin says.
I quickly run towards Vala, and see Opal with Gandor who has my bag, and watch in one of his vines.
"I took the liberty of letting Opal retrieve your stuff, and free Gandor." She says, and then turns to Excellinor. "This will conclude our bargain."
"Yes it will. Deliver what you promised." Excellinor says.
I see Vala take out her universal remote. "As promised the remote is now yours."
"Wait, you're gonna give her your remote?!" I say, and quickly grab Vala's arm.
"Of course I am. That was the deal." Vala comments nonchalantly as she frees her arm from my grip, and throws the remote to Excellinor.
Excellinor who now had the remote in hand pointed it towards us. "Well it was nice to do business with you, but I now have to get rid of the competition." Excellinor presses a button on the remote. I close my eyes waiting for the inevitable. When nothing happens I open them, and look at Excellinor who also wore a look of confusion.
"I promised you the universal remote. I however never promised you it's power source." I hear Vala say who is standing next to me holding up a pink jewel.
"Why you…. Damn… traitorous… Loki's… spawn…" Excellinor growled in frustration.
"I'll take that as a compliment Excellinor." Vala smirked, and touched the jewel to her wand shaped pendant. The pendant began to enlarge. The jewel was then quickly placed in the center of the new 'wand'.
"Well as fun as this is. We really need to be going now." Vala says, and points her wand towards the ceiling. A beam of light shoots out creating a very large hole, and cutting Alvin, and Excellinor off with falling debris.
"Damn, didn't mean to make it so big." Vala mumbles as our dragons scoop us up, and we fly away through the hole. "Enjoy your new sunroof Alvin!" Vala yells as we depart.
Once we are in the air, and far away from Outcast territory I turn to Vala with a questioning look.
"You want to know what that was all about." She states to which I only nod.
"Since the cell was dragon proof, I'd had to wait for him to take you out. Alvin did say he wasn't scared of any witch, and that got me thinking about his mother." Vala says.
"But you could have just used your remote to rescue me." I state while giving her a raised eyebrow.
"I could have but then I couldn't have retrieved this from Excellinor's house." She says, and holds up a big pouch.
"What is that?" I ask getting curious.
"A way to get through Drago's dragon army much easier." Vala states. "Opal managed to grab it as I was dealing with Excellinor. I convinced her to get you back, after showing her what that remote could do, and that I would call a blood feud on Alvin, and any of his family."
"In return for her help I would give her the remote." Vala finishes.
"But not the power source" I say as I glance at the wand with the pink jewel. "How did you know she would betray you?" I ask, and see a smile forming on Vala's face. Realization suddenly hit.
"You were expecting her to betray you." I state.
"Of course. She is the mother of Alvin the Treacherous. The apple wouldn't have fallen far from the tree." Vala states as we fly on.
"Who are we getting first Drago, Hiccup or Eret?" I ask curiously.
"Drago. He would be the most difficult. Hiccup, and Eret can be found on Berk together." Vala states as we continue to fly.
"The sun will be setting soon, so we can strike in the dark catching the guards unaware." Vala says as we land on a small island near where Drago's fleet is ancored.
Vala's POV
As soon as it is dark the plan is set in motion. "Remember I'll cause a distraction, then you take Drago down, and we'll make him forget." I say taking out the very special pouch, filling it with gunpowder, and a fuse.
"What are you going to do with that anyway?" Red asked.
"This pouch will make Drago's dragons sleep till dawn. All I need to do is disperse it." I tell him.
"Be ready." I say to Red, then turn to Opal. "Opal time for some chaos." I say in a sing-song voice, causing Red, and Gandor to groan.
Opal, and I are high above the clouds. I light the long fuse, and Opal begins her dive straight down to Drago's ships. As we near the largest ship I throw the pouch into the hold, and have Opal accelerate out of the area. Soon a giant explosion could be seen, and a green cloud of dust spread over the remaining fleet. When the green cloud had dissipated Opal, and I turn back towards the fleet. "Opal go wild." I tell her as she gives me a croon.
Soon we were in firing range of the catapults, and bolas. Opal began shooting her amber at the joints of the machines, effectively disabling them, and at the guards who were starting to panic.
The men were swiftly taken care of I spotted Drago on the deck yelling profanities.
"Oh Drago, Opal wants her chew toy back." I yell getting closer to Drago.
"Not you again, you damn insane girl." Drago shouts, and dodges Opal's amber blast which was aimed at his feet.
"I'll get you, and that damn dragon of yer…" Drago was cut off as he slumped unconscious on the deck. Behind him I saw Red standing, and holding frying pan.
"A frying pan. Really?" I can't help but ask while giving him an incredulous look.
"Hey, it worked for Rapunzel." Red said with a shrug.
We proceeded to wipe Drago's memory of the movie, and this confrontation along with that of his men. In the morning he would wake up to find his fleet in disarray, and his men giftwrapped in amber. Having no idea what occurred.
Red's POV
After wiping Drago's memory we set off towards Berk. "I think we will have to work in the dark again" I tell Vala, who simply nods.
"We'll land in the cove, and sneak into the village at night. Eret should be on his boat, while Hiccup would be in his room probably." She says. "We'll split up. I'll take Eret. You take Hiccup."
"Sure leave me with the guy who has a murderous axe wielding girlfriend." I tell her dryly.
"Hey if she catches me sneaking into his room it would be worse." Vala retorts. "And you can become invisible."
"I forgot about that." I mumble, and receive a head slap from one of Gandor's vines. I grumble under my breath about 'logical crazy women'.
As night came we got back on our dragons, and left the cove. I saw Vala fly Opal low along the high cliffs towards Eret's boat. Avoiding any guards stationed above. I tell Gandor to go invisible, and we make our way towards the chief's house.
I see a light on in a room, and I have Gandor lift me by his vines to get a better look. In the room I see Hiccup working on his desk. Toothless was laying on a stone slab. Suddenly Toothless's head shoots up. His eyes narrow in slits, and he looks towards the window where I am currently invisible.
'Oh boy.' I think. 'I so do not want to be plasma blasted.'
"What is it bud." Hiccup says as he is now also looking in my direction. I decided to just become visible, and dodge any fireballs. I motion for Gandor to turn me visible.
"Heya Hiccup." I say happily half leaning on the bedroom window. Toothless growls threateningly, but is silenced by Hiccup.
"Red what are you doing here?" Hiccup asked as he comes near the window. "And why were you invisible?"
"Well I kinda forgot to wipe Drago's, Eret's, and your memories of us. So I will have to do that. As for why I was invisible. Axe wielding girlfriend remember." I say to Hiccup.
"Hey don't worry I get why you have to wipe our memories. As for Astrid she went to Eret's to let him try out her new dish." Hiccup states.
"Oh no." A look of horror crosses my face "Vala is there right now wiping Eret's memory."
"The crazy remote wielding girl?" Hiccup asked his eyes growing wide with my nod of affirmation.
"It's crazy wand wielding girl now." I tell him. "It's a long story. Don't ask."
"Oh damn." Was all Hiccup said as he ran out the room, and his house.
Hiccup, and I dashed across the village towards the docks where Eret's boat was located. When we got there we found Eret laying face down on the docks unconscious. The area looked like a battle took place. The sails of Eret's boat had scorch marks. What once were crates looked more like giant splinters now. Nadder spines, and amber covered most of the dock. An axe was lodged in a barrel, and a wand lay on the docks. From the bow of the ship Hiccup, and I could hear laughter. Cautiously we approached. As we peaked around the corner we saw Astrid, and Vala leaning against their dragons, and laughing wildly.
"...And then when I looked up I saw Hiccup dangling from a vine in the tree." Astrid tells, and proceeds to laugh again.
"Looks like your axe wielding girlfriend became friends with my crazy friend." I whisper to Hiccup. At this point we both shudder. The damage these two could do. Slowly we made our presence known.
"Hey girls." I say nervously. Astrid turns to look at me, and then asked Vala. "Is he the one who tied up my Hiccup?"
Vala simply nods, while Astrid stands up, and cracks her knuckles.
"Now now Astrid. No need for violence." Hiccup says trying to calm her down. Astrid huffs, but sits back down against Stormfly.
"It's not violence. It's communication." Astrid huffs.
"Yeah, we even finished our discussion." Vala chimes in.
Hiccup, and I look at each other both thinking the same thing 'If the damage on the dock was a discussion we certainly didn't want to see a battle.'
"We've reached a compromise." Vala continues. "Eret, Hiccup, and now Astrid get to keep their memories of us as long as they never breathe a word to anyone else."
"Wait didn't you already wipe Eret's memory?" I ask looking at the unconscious man on the dock.
"No Eret is just knocked out after eating Astrid's fish pie." Vala answers, as she goes to pick up her wand, and hands Astrid her axe back. "And my main concern was Drago anyway."
"Now it's time to return to our dimension Red." Vala says.
"Yeah, and we missed dinner." I grumble.
"No we didn't. I can easily get us back to 5 minutes after we departed. It will be as if we never left." Vala smiles, and her wand begins to glow. Soon the glow is covering both of us, and our dragons. We wave goodbye to Hiccup, and Astrid, and in the next instance we were back in the theater.
As we made our way towards the exit I couldn't help but ask. "So what are we doing next week?"
"The same as we do every week." Vala answers. "Watching a movie."
