Once Vim finished nailing together a barricade at the entrance of the hatchery, he got a brilliant idea. He looked at the ridge directly above the entrance. "Everyone! Grab your dragons and meet me at the top of this ridge!" He hopped on Thorntail and flew to the top, carrying a bunch of wood with him.
He hopped off. "We need to build a barricade right here," he said, " and stack a bunch of big rocks behind it. When we knock down the barricade..." He pointed to the entrance. "Outcasts go splat."
Snotlout grinned. "I love this plan."

She didn't care about winning. At least she was near the front of it. And honestly, she'd let everyone pass if it meant that she wasn't able to fight. But alas, that was not the case and she kept flying, watching Allyssa and the other go neck in neck as they approached the finish line.

Metal Found his hammer but his arm was to injured to carry on with construction so he limped back to his archery when Astrid spotted him and stopped him.
"Who are you?"
Metal sighed as he heard that question alot.
"I'm Metal Head" he said still clutching his arm, Astrid was looking him over and it unnerved him somewhat
"come with me" and with that he was lead to the race track where his jaw dropped to see the carnage that unfolded before his eyes

The finish line was rapidly approaching. Annabethe looked like she was going to win, but at the last moment, Allyssa pulled forward, and crossed the line first.
"Yes! Good work Tempest! We really make a great team!"
Tempest roared in agreement.

Vim and half the guys started nailing together the barricade. It had to be strong enough to hold the rocks the other half were gathering, so it doesn't drop before its meant to. He saw a bunch of catapults being constructed on the ridge, pointing into the bay. They figured the Outcasts would come by boat and air to try to overwhelm them. There was another group to the right that was building up defenses on the path up from the beach, so if boats landed there they wouldn't be able to make it up to the school grounds.

Astrid clapped Allyssa and congratulated her "okay everyone good work take a break and next we will go into fire frenzy" everyone single filled out of the race track past Astrid and Metal, recognizing him from the the other night and the commotion he caused, as Allyssa walked by he thanked her for helping ans asked if she saw the other person to thank him as well, Boethiah was stopped by Astrid who looked at her calmly.
"that was quite a performance you had there" she smiled sweetly then the sweet smile turned into a bitter expression "Come with me you too Metal" they walked quietly over to the archery range Metal had prepared...

Vim watched Astrid lead two people away from the group. He recognized Alyssa and the boy he'd helped save. He wanted to go see what they were doing. He started to walk up behind them, then sneaked into some bushes when they started talking.

Tempest turned around and saw Vim, but Allyssa didn't seem to notice.

She saw Astrid and smirked with content. But she saw the boy from before and then Astrid's face go sour. Shrugging, she followed the two to the archery range. She didn't know what she was in for and she was a bit concerned now, but hey, there wasn't much she could do, right?

Vim sat as still as he could in the bushes, listening for any talking.

Tempest walked over to his hiding spot, lowered her head, and growled.

Vim slowly turned around to see Tempest standing there, looking not-so-friendly. He held up his hands. In it was some dragon nip.

Astrid spoke calmly through her teeth "Okay! Boethiah it is obvious that you don't want to help defend this school in conventional Viking methods so Metal here will teach you how to use a Bow if that would be to your liking you would be positioned at the back away from the enemies out of EVERYONE'S WAY" Astrids tempter was obvious as she spat out the last 2 words she then turned on Metal with simle that made Metals skin crawl "you will teach her and any other students who whish to learn how to use a bow"
Metal shocked by all this objected "But....but I can't do that I'm a student she wouldn't even listen to me anyway"
Astrid glared at metal and he fell silent "You WILL train these students who wish to learn or I will have Snotlout keep eyes on you 24/7 are we clear" Metal grumbled something inaudible but nodded.
"So my trubeling puipl you can either A. be on the very front lines and suffer extrreme punishment from me and carry on with our course or be trained as an archer who are support at the back by Metal your choice?"

Tempest stopped growling, then cocked her head as if to say Okay, what's the deal?
"Never tried arching," Allyssa mumbled. "But I've thrown a couple of daggers."

Wow, a choice between learning to use a bow or get the stuffing beat out of her by Astrid. Oh what a hard choice. "I think I'll stay here," she said bluntly. She would add more, but the other was already in a fiery mess, it'd be worse to make her more angry. She'd end up dead in her sleep, probably. "Have fun shooting shields." Boethiah put on the most sarcastic smile just for Astrid. Honestly, she'd just like to go back to Berk. To just go away and not be part of it at all. But that wasn't a real choice for her.
