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.
Astrid had tried to run and use her axe to knock some down but one of them grabbed her and pinned her to a wall of the stables. She yelled out “HICCUP!!!!” She called. She jut hope he could hear. She tried to pull at the man who held her down. “GET OFF ME I SWEAR IM GOING TO SHOVE MY AXE RIGHT UP YOUR ASS!” She exclaimed at him. She managed an arm free and used it to punch the man to let her go. But she saw the numbers and she already knew she wasn’t in a good place. “You want to fight a pregnant woman?! Let’s go then!” She yelled at them.
Snotlout still holding strong through a couple more men before one grabbed his bad arm and squeezed it tight. And Snotlout just crumbled to his knees. Unable to speak.
The familiar roar of a Nightfury sounded outside the stables as Toothless swooped in a livid Hiccup on his back. Oh he was pissed when he saw the hunter’s surrounding his pregnant bethrothed with anger in his eyes. “ Let her go-“ Hiccup all but growled out with malice in his voice as the Chief then chargedat them with his fire sword.
“ Snotlout!” Ben called out seeing the Viking go down. The hero struggled as a hunter quickly knocked him out with a blow to the back of the head.As hiccup began to charge one of the dragon hunters drew a sword and tried to hold him off. Astrid started to fight back but one of the dragon hunters spoke, “Fine let her stay. But imma leave some marks…..you’re not gonna die I can promise you that.” He spoke. He approached and pulled out a knife. She didn’t see it as she pushed off another hunter. But the man with the knife grabbed her shoulder and dug the blade into her side. When he pulled it out Astrid gasped. And a dragon hunter pushed her down to the ground trying to making it so she landed on the baby bump. Thankfully she fell into her side but she could feel the blood soak her stomach and she put her hands to it to stop it, “H-Hiccup….the baby…” she spoke in panic. She didn’t know what to do.The hunters started to fall back and ran for the woods and were gone.
Snotlout couldn’t move the pain was almost to much and before he knew it he saw one of the hunters kick his face and it went black. The hunters made sure to bind the two before taking them to their ship off the far side of Berk. Making sure they separated Snotlout and Ben they put them in dragon proof cells. One across from the other to keep them at a distance rather then them be side by side.
One of the Plumber medics, Jason was with Valka as he quickly hurried to Astrid and got to work on stopping he bleeding. Hiccup was keeping her calm while Jason worked on the wound on her stomach. Once the bleeding stopped he started to stitch it together.
Ben woke up a few hours later, head pounding as he tried to take stock of the situation. One of his hands was broken as he felt pain pulsate through his arm when he tried to move it. He could see Snotlout lying against the wall of his cell while Ben was chained up. He then realized that someone was in his cell with him. The man was taller then Ben and dressed in a dark robe covering his face. “ Do this is the Legendary Ben Tennyson,” the man before him spoke, his voice clearly not human. “ What do you want,” Ben spoke up as he watched he alien’s movements. “ Me and the dragon hunters on this were loyal to our Master Vilgax. “
Astrid was trying to stay awake. As they all started moving to help her. She held onto Hiccups hand tightly and she breathed out “What about the baby…?” She asked them. “Hiccup they came out of nowhere. I didn’t see them….they invaded Berk and we didn’t know about it” she spoke as she tried not to pass out from either the pain or the loss of blood. But it was becoming hard to do. She felt her vision fade around the edges and she began to tip her head back.
Snotlout was slowly waking up. He let his eyes adjust and he quietly looked over across the way to see Ben….he started to move and speak up but then found himself stopped when he noticed the alien in his cell. At hearing he’d been loyal to Vilgax he went wide eyed but tried not to pull from the conversation.
“ Stay with me Astrid stay with me,” Hiccup held her close as he, Valka and Jason brought Astrid to the medics ship as he placed her on the hospital bed and his team got to work hooking her up to the various machines that would monitor her and hooked up to an IV.
“ It’s no small feat for any being to take down lord Vilgax in the manner you did, human.” The alien voice was raspy as he took a clawed hand lifted Ben’s chin up, as If examining the hero before the general let go of him. Ben was hanging by his arms in the middle of his cell, as the alien walked around him menacingly. Pure yellow eyes glowing from under the black shroud. “ We could of used someone like you in our army. But of course the Omnitrix has to fall into the hands of a worthless fleshbag like you.” The alien growled before he punched Ben harshly in the gut.
Astrid kept in a dazed state. She held onto hiccups hand. Occasionally her grip would loosen and they’d shake her back awake. “Just….protect the babies…” she spoke. Though this was not a mistake of words.
Valka looked up at the medic, “Did she say babies?” She asked him. Gothi was already helping where she could and gave an awkward smile. She drew on a board she was carrying explaining “Astrid was wanting me to check and we heard to heartbeats….not just one. She wants to keep it a surprise.” She had written.
Snotlout yelled and reached through the bars “DONT HURT HIM!” He yelled. He beat his fist on the cell. “Get away from him!” He growled.
Hiccup’s jaw dropped but he quickly got himself together, gently placing a kiss to the back of Astrid’s hand. “ Oh Astrid,” Hiccup hummed softly comforting his bethrothed while the medic and nurses took care of Astrid.
“ Like you can do anything in that state,” The alien laughed darkly said as if he found Snotlout’s threats amusing. “ Just leave him alone,” Ben snarled as he felt the draw a long bloody cut with his knife on his back making Ben writhed in pain as he tried to get away before the alien thrusted his knife into his back making Ben scream out in pain.
Astrid looked up at Hiccup, “surprise!” She tried to joke weakly. “So what’s the damage?” She asked the medic. Valka brushed her hands through her hair, “just rest. You can’t be stressing about things. Keep the babies safe” she explained. Astrid didn’t argue.
Snotlout yelled, “STOP!” She rammed his shoulder against the door. “I swear….you’re going to regret your existence!” He grunted as he kept trying to ram his way out. Pushing away the pain in his broken arm.
