49. Rest in peace (pieces), Macey

Talulahh:

"Now!" Hiccup said.

All of the dragons (except Sapphire) shot at the dragon-proof chain.

Hiccup and Fishlegs walked up to the chain.

Hiccup sighed, touching the chain. "Nothing. It's not even hot.

"Huh, that combination of blasts just isn't enough to melt the chain." Fishlegs frowned.

"Uh, hello? Why are we not using Changewing acid? We know that works. Duh!" Snotlout rolled his eyes.

"Oh! Thanks for volunteering to milk a Changewing for us." Astrid smiled.

Snotlout laughed sarcastically. "Funny, Astrid." Hookfang laughed. "It's not that funny, pal. Let's remember who fills your bowl." Snotlout looked at his dragon.

"Let's remember who fills your bowl." I shot back, eyeing Snotlout.

"Shut up, Talulahh."

"Look, we're not always gonna have Changewing acid on hand, Snotlout. That's why we have to find the right combination of dragon fire to get through these chains." Hiccup reminded the boy.

"I think we need more of our dragons' fire." Fishlegs offered, watching Hiccup walk to Toothless.

"Okay, bud. Here we go. One more time. Toothless, go." Hiccup instructed. Toothless shot.

"Hookfang." The dragon blasted.

"Barf, Belch."  The dragon was asleep, riders leaning against them.

"Hello? Hi? Are you gonna help or not?" Snotlout crossed his arms.

"No, Snotlout, we're not." Tuff replied, not bothering to open his eyes. "Because as usual, Hiccup and Fishlegs are overthinking everything."

"In delicate matters such as these, logic and reasoning can only take you so far." Ruff nodded.

"You have to trust your instinct." Tuff stood up

Ruffnut did the same. "Follow your gut.

"You have to have the right inspiration."

"In other words, you must have..."

"Twintuition." They said simaltaniously.

"Twintuition? What are you talking about?" Astrid arched a brow.

"Ah! We knew you were gonna say that." Tuff said, grinning. "You know why? Because of our..."

"Twintuition." Ruff finished for him.

"Yes, it's the direct perception of truth, fact, and insight, completely independent of any reasoning process or logic that we could possibly come up with." Tuffnut explained.

I looked at Hiccup, smiling. "No." He crossed his arms. I frowned, turning back to the twins.

"It really is the solution to any problem." Ruff put her hands on her hips, nodding.

"Shall we?"

"We shall."

"Thanks to the power of our twintuition, we will break the chain." Tuffnut declared.

He ran towards the chain. Ruff held up Macey, throwing it to Tuffnut, who caught it with ease. He yelled as he hit the chain with Macey.

"Oh, yeah." Tuff grinned. We all looked at him. "What? Oh, come on!" He looked at the fully intact chain.

"Okay, Macey, let's try this one more..." Before he could finish his sentence, the head of the mace fell off, cracking.

Tuff fell to his knees. "Macey? Macey! Can you hear me? Say something. Say something. Oh, Thor. What have I done? These chains!" He cried.
