How To Train Your Dragon
Prologue Of The End
"Dad! Listen to me! Toothless won't harm anyone, he was just trying to protect me!" Hiccup pleaded. "Would you just listen to me?!"
"Don't need to, don't want to." Stoick said coldly, sure, he was the chief of the whole Berk, a single parent, and the strongest man in the village, he hardly showed any care for his only son.
The door slammed on Hiccup, he failed.
He couldn't save Toothless.
He lost his village's trust.
He lost his father…
He lost everything.
Everything but a certain black friend in peril.
He was going to get him back.
"Set sails for the seven seas tomorrow!" Stoick ordered the tribe of vikings.
"Aye aye, sir!" They said in reply and went to their posts.
"Hang on Toothless, I'll set you free tonight…" Hiccup thought silently, spying on them from a safe distance.
"Hiccup?" Astrid asked.
"Ah!" Hiccup freaked. "Oh, Astrid, it's… you."
"I know you're upset about Toothless, but we can't do anything." Astrid sighed.
"I have a plan." Hiccup said. "I don't know why I'm still in Berk, everyone sees me as a disgrace."
"Hiccup, I don't see you as one, you tamed nature's most ferocious creature." Astrid said.
"Everyone doesn't, all they see me, is a weak, little runt who can't even kill a dragon." Hiccup said sarcastically. "Toothless is the only friend I've got these twelve years."
"I thought I was." Astrid said.
"I know you do, Astrid, but this is different." Hiccup sighed. "How am I supposed to show them, dragons aren't what we've seen them?"
"I've saw it, Hiccup, you saw it." Astrid said as she crossed her arms.
"But they didn't." Hiccup sighed once again. "Face it, dragons and vikings can never get together."
"You and Toothless did." Astrid said. "And Toothless is a night fury!"
"I helped him when he was hurt, or I will never be standing here, Astrid." Hiccup said. "Look, I know they are really stupid enough to fight that mother dragon, they're on a suicide mission, with my friend as the bait."
Astrid was speechless.
"So, what? They die, I really don't care, but Toothless is there and I need to save him, like it, or not." Hiccup said sternly.
"Woah, woah, woah, slow down there, what do you mean 'you don't care if they die'?" Astrid said.
"I don't, that's my point." Hiccup said and went to his house.
He packed some pocket knives, a journal, some spare parts for Toothless's fin.
"Tonight's the night, Toothless." Hiccup said to himself.
Midnight, where everyone should be in their beds, asleep, no sign of movement was found on Berk, accept one.
Hiccup sneaked onto the ship holding Toothless, where he could hear sounds of chains rustling, he knew at an instant that they kept him pinned.
"Toothless? It's okay bud, I'm here." Hiccup whispered. "Shh, don't make a sound."
Toothless purred at a response, Hiccup tried to cut the metal chains but all he did was take the muzzle off of him.
"This - this is no use." Hiccup panted, he laid on the ship's wooden floor and looked where the chains where. "Toothless, could you blast that pole up there?"
Toothless looked at him like he was crazy.
"Do it, trust me bud." Hiccup said, and the night fury unleashed a plasma blast on the pole.
The pole exploded and was set on fire, a few torches in the village were lit, the duo knew they didn't have much time to lose.
"Come on Toothless!" Hiccup said to the now free night fury, he sat on the dragon's back and set off the the night sky without any people seeing them.
Vikings began to follow the source of the voice, and watched in horror that the chief's ship was sinking in smoke.
"What's this all about?" Stoick asked as the crowd made way for him. "Oh Thor…"
"Where's Hiccup?!" Astrid asked nervously.
"You're worried about that fishbone? Try this on for size." Snotlout said as he flexed his muscles, every child backed away in disgust. "It's called manscaping!"
"Maybe, he's in his room!" Fishlegs said.
"He slept through this?!" Ruffnut laughed. "And I thought Tuff was the heavy sleeper."
"He really did it?!" Astrid asked in dismay. "I can't believe he really done it!"
"Done what, exactly?" Tuffnut asked, and his head getting closer to Astrid's, and his twin needing to pull his helmet away.
"He said something about freeing Toothless." Astrid thought.
"The night fury?" Fishlegs asked. "He's a beast!"
"He can't go far, everybody follow me!" Astrid said as she ran to the arena.
"Why are we running?" Ruffnut asked.
"I'd go anywhere you'll you, milady." Snotlout said in disgusting voice.
They reached the arena, Astrid nervously opened the gates to the dragons.
"Are you crazy?!" Ruffnut asked. "Is she crazy?"
"Crazier than me." Tuffnut said.
The gate slowly opened and a Deadly Nadder came out and hissed., Astrid walked forward, tossed her axe away, the Nadder looked at her in confusion.
She moved closer, her hand waiting to come in contact with the wildest beasts in the world, she remembered what Hiccup told her.
"Don't touch them, let them come to you."
Her eyes closed, her hand still in mid air, she grew more nervous as she gave the dragon her full trust. There was a gap between the two.
The Nadder bridged that gap by letting its head move forward, the dragon embraced Astrid as she also did the same, the others watched in awe.
"I'll call you… Stormfly, how's that name?" Astrid asked, and the dragon nodded happily.
"Uh, so what are we supposed to do?" Snotlout asked in confusion.
"Make a friend, grab a saddle people." Astrid gestured to the eager dragons next to them.
"Toothless, are you okay from that?" Hiccup asked as he patted the black scaled head.
"I'm fine, thanks." Toothless said suddenly and gave Hiccup a shock.
"You can talk?" Hiccup asked.
"Yes, humans can understand us if we're in sync, I never expected it would happen." Toothless said.
"This is awesome." Hiccup said as he adjusted the gear again. "Let's set up camp in the cove for tonight, huh bud?"
"As long as those bitches don't find us." Toothless shrugged, and they proceeded to the cove below.
"I can't believe they would do something like that." Hiccup sighed. "I was told I was being attacked by a dragon when I was born."
Toothless's eyes grew wide.
"You were the one?" Toothless asked. "That's why you can connect with us."
"What do you mean 'one'?" Hiccup asked.
"Every one hundred years, a dragon is to enter the human village and seek out the one suitable for a half breed." Toothless said. "They should have a slight scar on their face."
"What half breed do you mean?" Hiccup asked. "I have a small scar, but this is nuts- Oh Thor, I'm a half dragon?"
"I think, yes." Toothless chuckled mentally.
"Well, this is all too crazy, and we need someplace to rest our feets tomorrow, can you still fly?" Hiccup asked.
"I can fly for days, like this will stop me." Toothless said.
"Good, because I think Astrid and the others won't just stick around." Hiccup said as he adjusted the gear on Toothless's fin.
"I bet the other dragons will get along with them." Toothless rolled his eyes.
"She got along with you, Toothless." Hiccup laughed.
"That's because you were here and you made sure she didn't chop my head off." Toothless sighed. "She's a good friend, nonetheless."
"Wait, how old are you? You talk like you're at least an hundred." Hiccup joked.
"Uh, I'm two-hundred and seventy nine." Toothless said.
"You are what-" Hiccup gasped. "You dragons are immortal?"
"Only dragons like me, we can heal each other, but we never get the chance to use that ability."
"Dragons like you? What happened to the past night furies?" Hiccup asked.
"They vanish after hatching another youngling, for thousands of years."
"So, you never saw your own parents, huh?" Hiccup asked.
"Not a big deal, it's been two centuries."
"So I'm a baby to you?" Hiccup joked.
"Yes, you so are."
"Hey, I was joking!" The two laughed. "Like, I can really turn into a dragon?"
"I have never seen one, I don't actually know how it works."
"And I thought you were the oldest of the bunch." Hiccup laughed again. "Wait, you're a male, then how are you going to hatch a youngling?"
"The egg will appear when the night fury is vanishing." Toothless rolled his eyes.
"Okay… This is seriously embarrassing for you to say, isn't it?" Hiccup asked.
"Of course it is!" Toothless moaned, slapping his fin on Hiccup.
"Ow, okay bud, let's go." Hiccup said as he got on the saddle. "Astrid knows very well where this place is, and she might-"
"Hiccup!" Astrid yelled, on the nadder she named Stormfly.
"What is it this time, Astrid, and I see you made a friend." Hiccup rested his chin on his hand.
"You can't just leave, I thought you weren't serious!" Astrid yelled.
"When am I not?" Hiccup asked.
"And I take a point for a 'good friend'." Toothless laughed.
"You're saying that now?" Hiccup moaned again, earning a slap from the ears of the dark dragon. "Cut that out."
"You know what he's saying?" Astrid asked.
"Long story, I'm leaving, that's final." Hiccup said. "End of discussion."
"Dude, are you really serious?!" Snotlout shouted from behind, on a monstrous nightmare he named 'Hookfang'. "You're going to get yourself killed!"
"And you care, why?" Hiccup asked sarcastically.
"I don't, because you're leading your village to a suicide mission!" Snotlout spat the words out.
"And?" Hiccup asked.
"And I thought Snotlout is the coldblooded one." Ruffnut said.
"What did you say?" Snotlout asked.
"Nothin'." Ruffnut sniffed.
"I know how you feel, Hiccup, but they know dragons know the location of the mother's nest, they'll all die if you don't defeat that thing first!"
"Relax, will ya'?" Hiccup said. "That thing couldn't even get out of it's nest."
"And all of the dragons are going to get eaten." Toothless said. "You saw it."
"Fine, Toothless, bring us to that Red Death." Hiccup said, and the young riders took off.
Dun-dun-dun-dun! The prologue is dang out! Oh yeah! But this is going to be a series, so leave a review if you want Hiccup to morph into a dragon! I'm choosing a nightfury… So, any suggestions on shipping these people?
