HTTYD 2: What if?
Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD or HTTYD 2.
Ok, so say that Hiccup was taken by Toothless' older-by-15-years brother to the Bewilderbeast's nest when he was five. In this story I'm going to cover what would happen in the second movie if that had happened. Just a few pointers:
1) Hiccup stopped the Red Death and lost his leg when he was 15.
2) Toothless lost his tail as well when they fought the Red Death.
3) The dragons then went to Berk to apologise and Valka showed them the true side of dragons and they now ride dragons.
4) Astrid is the heir of Berk until they find Hiccup.
5) Hiccup is the heir of dragons due to the alpha's dragon blood in him because he was fatally sick when he was brought to the nest.
5) Valka rides Cloudjumper.
6) And Toothless' brother is alive and is named Obsidian.
Okay, fine I admit it, that's way more than a few. But you'll find the rest out in the story.
Prologue: To the Alpha's Nest
5 year-old Hiccup was supposed to go to the Great Hall while the adults fought the dragon raid but he had forgotten his Deadly Nadder soft toy in his room. He was right now, cowering in the corner as a huge dragon with scales as dark as night crept into his room.
The dragon headed towards him as he shivered but didn't harm him. Instead looked at him curiously and lifted a paw to Hiccup's face. Hiccup surprisingly felt safer there than even in his mother and father's arms.
Suddenly there was the sound of a sword unsheathing. Dragon and child both looked around, the Night Fury's claw accidentally scratching Hiccup's chin, to see Valka holding a sword.
The Night Fury started to build up the gas in its mouth to fire but Hiccup stopped it. "No! She's my mother!"
The Night Fury seemed to understand and looked into Hiccup's eyes like a brother would at his little brother. Valka too seemed entranced by the connection.
Suddenly an axe broke the stare. Hiccup jumped and the Night Fury fired at a curtain, making Valka fall down. Stoick, Hiccup's father, shouted, "Hiccup! Valka!" He rolled through the flames then pulled Valka up.
In the meantime, Hiccup tugged on the wing of the Night Fury with his tiny hands and pulled the Night Fury away, sneezing and coughing severely.
The Night Fury seemed to assure him and then grabbed him in its paws before flying off. Valka and Stoick got up and went to the window, where they could see the dragon's flying away. "Hiccup!"
Hiccup's voice shouted, "Mom! Dad!"
Valka collapsed in Stoick's arms and burst into tears as Stoick murmured softly, "Hiccup."
Hiccup didn't know when he fell asleep but when he woke up, he was coughing hard and feeling weak and cold. He suddenly realized he was still in the Night Fury's paws, heading towards some sort of ice fortress. He shouted up, coughing again, "Hey! Night Fury! Where are you taking me?" He was sure the Night Fury wasn't going to eat him since if it was, it would have done so by now.
The Night Fury took him through tunnels of rock and ice until they reached an open cavern. The Night Fury let go of Hiccup in front of a large cliff. Hiccup coughed again and this time, blood came up in his hand.
The Night Fury walked to the edge of a cliff and bowed down. Hiccup walked over and gasped at seeing the huge dragon, which rose up and took in Hiccup's features.
The huge dragon warbled. ~Hello, Obsidian. How may I help you?~
Obsidian let out a series of croons. ~My Lord, this child is very ill. You must help him.~
The huge dragon grunted. ~I can give him my blood to heal him, but he must stay here as my heir. He will be the Prince of all dragons.~
Obsidian bowed. ~Thank you, my Lord.~ It crooned and pushed Hiccup forward gently.
Hiccup asked, "Wait. What are you doing? Hold on."
The white dragon bit its tongue and blew some air over Hiccup, the blood mixing with the frosty mist. Hiccup closed his eyes and inhaled the mist. He opened his eyes and they were no longer the same. They were fully green so you couldn't see the white of his eyes anymore. He had black slits for pupils and they were so bright and alive.
Hiccup could now understand dragon speech. The white king asked, ~How are you feeling, my son?~
Hiccup replied, and to his surprise it came out as a warble. ~I feel great. Amazing even. Thank you, my Lord.~ He somehow knew the white dragon was the alpha.
The white king said, ~You must stay here now. You cannot risk the humans seeing your draconic eyes.~
~Yes, sir.~ Hiccup turned to Obsidian, who was examining him.
Obsidian eagerly sat back on his haunches then nudged Hiccup towards a cave. Another tiny night fury was sleeping in the nest there and awoke as Hiccup and Obsidian approached.
Obsidian cooed. ~This is my brother. Our parents died when he was just a tiny hatchling.~
Hiccup knelt down and touched the little Night Fury's nose. The Night Fury purred and leaned into the touch. Hiccup grinned, an action the Night Fury mimicked, revealing he had no teeth. He asked in Norse, "Toothless?" The Night Fury purred again. "You like that, don't you? That's what I'll call you. Toothless."
Toothless revealed his retractable teeth as Obsidian brought some fish into the cave, pouncing on the food. Obsidian caught him with his wing and stopped him. He separated the fish into three piles before nudging the medium pile towards Hiccup, who said in Dragonese, ~Thank you.~
Obsidian warbled. ~That's what family does. And all dragons are family. And you are our family now, being the prince of dragons.~
Hiccup asked, ~But where do I stay?~
Toothless cooed. ~You can stay here with us. Right, Obsidian?~ Obsidian nodded and pulled Toothless and Hiccup into his wings, settling them down for the night.
Okay, now don't be mad. This is my first HTTYD fanfic and I just got an idea while watching HTTYD 2 so I decided to write it out.
