Author's Note: This is my first story; and I'm really excited about it, and I would Like to give a shout out to Hamsterjellyman who gave me the ok to take this story off his hands and finish it for him. I will mostly will be following along the lines of his story, but I do plan to add some stuff in here and there to put my own spin on it. Jellyman, if you are reading this thank you again, I was reading some of the reviews of the original story, and now I got some big shoes to fill. I hope you all enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I own everything, wait hold on let me check something really quick… Oh, nope, sorry, I'm broke. I don't own any httyd related stuff, DreamWorks does, though I do have a httyd 2 poster and Toothless Pop Head dole, if that counts for anything.

New Life Ahead (Redone)

Chapter 1

I'll Show Them

I limp home after getting all of my new injuries from my bullies. Bruises up and down my arms and legs, cuts here and there, and a twisted knee. All I can think to myself is "They had their fun for the day, now they will leave me alone for a while, at least things can't get any worse."

I was wrong, as usual.

I final got to my house and went upstairs to cry myself to sleep like I did every night. I just didn't get any of it so what if I wasn't as tall, or had as much muscles as all of the other men did, that shouldn't be the reasons me life was a living hell every day. It got so bad that I had to map out paths just to get from point A to point B, if the time I walked down it and only gotten 3-4 punches, it was a good day, but that never happened.

I laid in my bed for a couple of hours just crying softly so no one would come in and hit me more for showing weakness. I cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, until I thought I was going to shrivel up for losing so much water. I finally started to drift off to sleep, wanting this dad to be over, but I was never lucky to get such a thing as a good night sleep.

BOOM!

My eyes shot open and look out of my window to see a house start to catch fire, that could only mean one thing, "Dragon Raid." Even though I wanted the day to be done, a dragon raid was not the list on things that I wanted to do today. I also did not want to go back out after what happen to me today, but dragon raids are the only times where I get any chance to prove myself to the village. Now giving my size and the size of the weapons Vikings use, I could never swing one properly, so I had to get creative on how to attack dragons. I made all different kinds of weapons, but usually they never work. And when they didn't work, I would always face the anger of the village and my father when it ended. Building them wasn't a problem, I always built them in the forge with Gobber, the one person on this entire island who actually cared about me even more than my father. It always makes me wonder if my actual father even loves me, cause he sure as hell doesn't show it, ever.

(Time skip to where Hiccup is on the hill overlooking the ocean)

"Come on give me something to shoot at, give me something to shoot at," I manage to sneak away from the forge with my new weapon, a bola launcher. Now having the perfect opportunity to attack something. Earlier that night, the mysterious Night Fury made himself known by making his unforgettable whistling sound as he dived bombed the towers. After being here for years, and having people that when they usually saw me outside in a dragon raid shove me into the nearest house and make sure that I came out until the raid was over, I have to pass the time by doing something, other than hoping that a dragon doesn't come and burn the house down I was in, (Even though somedays would make me wish they would actually do it.) I do something a Viking usually do, I study that fighting patters the dragons do. I found out that each breed of dragon had a different approach when it came to combat, almost like they trained themselves to fight in that way. I of course wanted to study the Night Fury's fighting style, but he never showed himself, or herself. That's when I realized, the Night Fury never shows itself, always stays in the sky, using the blackness to its advantage, I should have realized that sooner. So that's what got me the idea of the launcher, shoots a bola out fifteen times faster that even the strongest man could ever throw. Even though everyone in the village says that the Fury is like a ghost, that you can never see it, not that's not true. Every time it blows something up, it always swops through or over the blast it just made, giving you only a second to see the black body shot back up into the sky. And that is the reason I set up shop on the hill, it was right next to the last standing towers on the island, even though no one else was around, it didn't mean he wouldn't shoot at it. Like I said, I studied them, and with no people or dragons around at the time, it was a huge target that I knew it wouldn't pass up. Seconds later, everything I thought of was confirmed. There was soon a faint whistle getting louder and louder, I quickly aimed down the sight on the most likely flight path it would take going back up into the sky. There was a big blast, and though it flew a black figure for one second, flying on the path I knew he was going to take. The moment I saw it, I pulled the trigger, but didn't get to see the bola seeing and feeling it kick me off of it, but I didn't need it (though it would have been nice to,) the loud "WACK!" and "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!" confirmed that I hit the mighty Night fury, something on one has ever done in the whole history of the village. I look up to see the sun just starting to make its appearance coming up and a black body going down into the forest. I couldn't believe it, I downed it, I DOWNED THE MIGHTY NIGHT FURY!

"Oh I hit it, YES I HIT IT! Did anybody see that?" Someone I'm guessing did see it, but it wasn't the someone I was hoping for, a Monasteries Nightmare I guessed saw it and wasn't too happy about it from the looks of him.

(Time skip to where Hiccup is leaving his house put the back door)

Fine, if none of them believe me, or want to come with me. Then I guess I'm doing all of this by myself, I don't need them anyway.

"I'm coming for you Night Fury, and when I get to you, everyone will see that I'm a real Viking… when I put you out of your misery." And I starting running. "I'll show them; I'll show them all!"

Aaaaand the first one is done and out of the way, that's usually the hardest part right? Anyways, please R&R I would like feedback on how I'm doing. Constructive criticism only! Even though I'm new here, I don't want to be yelled at just like everyone else, review or PM me on things I should work on in it. The next chapter should be coming out soon, again Hamsterjellyman, if you are reading this, thanks again for letting me take over your story, it allows me to see where and what I should do when I write, again thank you.
