28Hunters Become the Hunted
Chpt. 2
-Toothless' P.O.V.-
The beautiful night sky is always something to treasure, especially for the dragon race. The beautiful stars the shine in the night sky takes my breath away whenever I go drift on a peaceful flight like tonight. This occasion is a lucky one too; I am either having to please the queen or raid villages so I always take these opportunities when I get the chance. Lost in my train of thought was suddenly erupted by a great flash of green light blinding me. Nervously I flew up to attempt to get away from what ever caused that light. But strangely it vanished, just like that. Curiosity was overwhelming me but was soon cut off by a loud noise, nothing I have ever herd before. A loud and deep rumbling noise coming from behind me. I turn around to see what the strange thing was, but only saw a huge fan like object heading right towards me, WAIT…WHAT?! I quickly shoot up avoiding what it was to see more than a giant fan, but to see a giant metal bird flying through the sky with not just one fan but also four? My curiosity was completely overruled by anger. A fire that is unable to be extinguished. How dare this metal monstrosity almost kill me, ruin my evening flight and fill the air with a horrible odder. Growling to myself I quickly start to dive in, aiming for the fan that almost killed me. I start screeching through the sky getting closer and closer. I open my mouth and shoot out a plasma blast hitting my mark. Expecting nothing much than a tiny explosion from my shot, a great big explosion erupts from the fan as well as the wing causing it to start to break. The object still kept flaying like it was unfazed by what I just did. To get a closer look I zoom down to the wing but quickly see stop myself from stopping and kept moving. What? Did I just see humans but with four eyes? This can't be possible! The humans on the little island only have two, how can these have four? Turning out I decide to try and get another look out of pure curiosity, as I swoop back to the window instead of people there I notice them all jumping out of the back of it. What are they doing? Humans can't fly. But as I fly behind the object I get a bad wiff of some foul stench, which instinctively I fly away. I again became suddenly enraged by what the flying metal contraption was producing. The fire inside me building up and I zoom towards the object, screeching across opening my mouth and BOOM! The body of the object explodes in a great big ball of fire crashing down to the earth. During my little fly-by I notice something even more peculiar, there floating down to earth are a bunch on floating sheets drifting down all close together. Curiosity almost got the better of me when I noticed there was a lot of rope. Getting tangled in that mess would be bad news. Grunting to myself I fly away, hoping to enjoy the rest of my flight or wait them out a bit.
"Damn humans" I muttered to myself. Flying up enjoying the nice cool air rushing around my face. I start to spin around roaring with pleasure enjoying the wonderful feeling. I continue to fly around for another 15minutes I notice something strange in a little opening in the woods. A light gleaming like a little star on the ground. I strain my eyes to the best of my ability to see what it was. And what I saw satisfied me…a lot. Folding my wings I growl to myself,
"Common you worthless humans"
I bend over and turn towards the light screech down to earth, opening my mouth and shot. A bright blue blast shot from it speeding down towards my target, then…poof! Smoke rising in the air I hear people shouting about giving orders, bodies on the ground. Speeding down towards the ground I land facing a screen of smoke. I hear footsteps behind me, not knowing what it was nor did I care I swing my front paw around, feeling it something sinking into some dense mass very similar to the Vikings on the other side of the island but more resistance, I feel some metal as well as some sort of string like thing. My intentions on pushing all the way through were soon cut off by two loud cracks piercing the air followed by tremendous pain coursing through my back leg and side. Wincing I pull away from my victim and quickly got out of the area as soon as I can. Not wanting to bear any more of that pain.
-Staff Sergeant Lance's P.O.V-
"STAFF SERGEANT?!" I faintly hear
Everything is so fuzzy, I cant see anything lat alone hear anything. All I know is that I'm being dragged.
"STAFF SERGEANT, WE NEED A MEDIC!"
Shortly after that I feel another hand grab me, pressing their hands on my legs and neck.
"I-I can't see" I stuttered I said holding out my hand
Someone grabbed it and said, "don't worry, kid I got you"
"Jo-Josh?" I asked
"Yeah kid?" he calmly replied
"Damn man, what the hell you doing calling me kid? I'm your superior officer" I said chuckling
"Shut up and stay down, you have some medical around your face, some ash and dust got in your eyes so we are using it to get it out and you have some minor burns on your leg, you should be goo soon, kid"
Hours later the medic allows me to take the medical tape off around my face but I can't use my legs at the time.
"Ware's L.T?" I ask calmly
I look around to only get some stares and others looking down.
"Were is Lieutenant?" I asked more annoyed
"He is dead, that thing tore him to peaces" Josh proclaimed
I look down in distraught, this can't be, there is nothing in existence that I capable of doing this.
"There is nothing that can possibly fly, breath fire and do this to a man." I said aggravated
"Nothing that is known to the modern human" Someone said
"And what are you suggesting, then? Are you saying th-this thing in mythical? Like some ancient Greek bull shit?" I angrily stated
"That is exactly what I mean, think about it, have you ever heard of a real animal on earth that can fly and breath fire that was not from a book but an actual animal? The evidence is perfect!" He stated happily like he just figured out a great way to cure a disease.
"What do you think it is then?" I questioned
"A Dragon"
