Astrid had been patrolling on an island not far from berk. When suddenly she saw something….appear? It was almost dragon like. But something was off. She’d already. Landed and was watching the creature closely from away.
Tuff nut rubbed his hands together in excitement be fore him and his twin ran for the Zippleback. Fishlegs called for meatlug and mounted her taking off. Astrid looked at Hiccup, “We can’t just leave him to defend the ground on his own. You and Snotlout stay behind I’ll help the others” she suggested. Snotlout stepped forward, “I actually don’t hate that plan Astrid…” he said axe at the ready. Astrid stood in mild shock. Before running off. Realizing she’d given Hiccup no chance of input. Though she was right they could leave Ben alone.
Ben, as XLR8, was running side to side as the drone was trying to focus on its target but the driver he kept getting hit by Toothless’s plasma blast. The machine getting agitated as it began firing at the Riders. Ben was coordinating his attacks with the others as he threw lightning he generated from running to stun it.
Snotlout without question him and Hiccup were attacking from the sides. Anytime the drone got into the general area would swing and attack it with their weapons. Hookfang would occasionally circle the drone spitting fire at it from all directions.
After a good solid hour of fighting the drone began to fall apart. In one point one of the fight the drone’s lazers struck Ben in the shoulder. It hurt like hell but he wasn’t gonna give in to the pain as the drone’s wiring was starting to melt and smoke as he continued to fight.”Alright guys we have it on the ropes!” Hiccup encouraged his fellow riders even though both human and dragon were starting to wear out. Hiccup couldn’t imagine fighting one of these on his own.
Astrid directed the others to attack one last intense blast from all the dragons at once. Snotlout however had noticed the shot to the shoulder and had been more worried about Ben then anything else. He got several great hits into the drone throughout the process. Continuously checking on Ben though.
Once the drone was distroyed Ben was finally able to get a look at his shoulder. It was a clean shot straight through as blood welled up in the opening as the alien growled in pain. Hiccup ran over as he frowned as he how bad the wound was. “ Even though this form has excellerated healing it’s gonna take a long while.” Ben spoke between bouts of pain. “ Transporting you is the main question. Your going to be really weak from the blood loss. I don’t want to risk you passing out while we’re flying back to Berk.” Hiccup was already tending to the injury trying to get the bleeding to stop as he applied pressure. He could feel the muscle in Ben’s shoulder spasming as it was already regenerating the injury.
Snotlout has sprinted over to Ben and “you’re gonna be okay though right?!” He asked him. “I can walk back with him. It’s not forever away from Berk.” Snotlout saidto them. Astrid went to help Hiccup patch Ben some. “We will figure it out. We can’t just leave you here Snotlout. You need someone else with you in case something attacks. Ben shouldn’t be trying to fight till he heals” she explained to Snotlout.
“Shut up Astrid….” he mumbled. And looked away from them. Still keeping close to Ben in concern.
