Every so often, in the rare times where things were quiet on Berk, Hiccup and Toothless would take off and tear around the sky for a few hours to clear their heads. Chiefing, and Alphaing, was difficult work even for those who'd been doing it for years, and the pair's experience with either was less than optimal. The flights were their way of relaxing.
Of course, it'd be more relaxing if they weren't, according to the position of the stars in the sky, suddenly hundreds of miles away from where they were supposed to be, being chased by nine armored humanoid beings flying monstrous creatures that even Hiccup hesitated to call dragons. To top it all off, the nine were followed by a small army of shadowy creatures equally as monstrous as their mounts.
Faced with this, it wasn't surprising that Hiccup had decided to put off figuring out why he could now hear Toothless's thoughts until after he and the Night Fury were out of mortal danger.
Hiccup turned his head back to take a look at their pursuers. "Okay bud, don't panic, but I think they may actually be gaining on us."
What?! Toothless's eyes widened, How can they be gaining on us? I'm supposed to be the fastest thing up here.
"I'm sorry, but apparently you aren't."
So then, what's the plan?
Hiccup shrugged. "Way I see it is we've got one of two options. We can either try to outlast them on endurance, or turn around and take them head on. Honestly, I'm not liking our chances either way."
Well, if we're doomed no matter what, I think we should do our best to make 'em regret it.
As one, the pair turned around, Toothless's spine beginning to glow a bright, luminescent blue. They charged, the dragon firing explosive balls of plasma into the mass of ink-black terrors.
