Chapter 1:Planet Berk
This is Ice World of Berk. One of the million world of Imperium of Man. It's twelve cycle north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the segmentum Ultima.
The Imperial Guards stronghold. In a word, sturdy. It's been here for seven millennium. but every single building is new.
We have recruiting, defending and a chaming view of the sunset. The only problem are the xenos.
Most planet have Orks or Eldar,we have…
Dragons.
Most people would leave. Not us . We're the Imperial Guard. We have a stubbornness issue. My name is Sergeant Hiccup of the 1st Berk regiment.
Tonight is a normal raid night.I open the door and suddenly I see a Mounstrous Nightmare outside. It shoot huge fire ball at me but I close the door before the fire ball hit me,then I peek through the door. I don't see any dragon in frontdoor. I wear my Flak armor and take my laspistol. I step outside the door and run I heard some guardsmen yell
"Get back!"
"Go back inside!"
Then I've been drag by a claw.
"Hiccup,what are you doing?.Get back inside!"
That's Governor-General Stoick the vast. He's commander of the regiment and planetary governor. They said when he was a recruit he used single Lasgun shot to blow three dragons head. Do I believe it?,yes I do.
"What's our enemy tonight?"
"Sir, scanner report there's Deadly Nadder,Mounstrous Nightmare,Gronckle and Hideous Zippleback."
"What about Night Furies?"
"Scanner report none so far sir."
"Good"
I run to the armory and meet up with commissar.
"Look who it is I throught you'd been carried off"
"Who,me? Nah,come on I'am too muscular for their teste,they wouldn't know what to do with all….this"
"well they need toothpicks,don't they?
The commissar with cybernetic arm and leg is commissar Gobber. I've been in his command since I was a recruit.
I hear a guardsmen yells"dragon's incoming!" and see my squad mate run with their own weapons.
There's Corporal Fishleg the big fat guy. Sergeant Snotlout the tough guy and and Sergeant Ruffnut and Sergeant Tuffnut the twin heavy weapons team and finally Sergeant Major Astrid. The best guardsmen in my squad.
Their duty is much cooler than me. I think I must help them but commissar drag me with his cybernetic arm.
"Aww let me out,please! I need to make my mark."
"oh,you've make plenty of mark,in wrong place."
"Please, two minutes! I'll kill a dragon, my life will get infinitely better, I might even get a promoted!
"You can't drive a Chimera,you can't men an Autocannon,you can't even throw a grenade."
"Okay, fine! But this Will throw it for me!"I touch at crafted net launcher. Suddenly it goes off and hit a guardsman
"Hiccup if you want to fight dragons,you need to stop all this"
"But you just pointed to all of me!"
"Yes,that's it! Stop being all of you're,here a lasgun fixed it immediately"
One day I'll get out there. Because killing dragons is everything around here. Take down Deadly Nadder, you'll be notice. Gronckle Are tough, Take one of them down and you'll get promoted. A Hideous Zippleback,twin head, twice status. There's Monstrous Nightmare. Only the best guardsmen can go after those. But the ultimate prize is the dragon that no one ever seen. It's call the Night Fury. It's never steals supply,never show itself,and never missed. No one ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'am going to be the first who kill the Night Fury.
When commissar hear the dragons sound he grab his bolt pistol and power sword and said.
"Looks like those guardsmen need some help. You stay here and don't go anywhere."
When he's gone now it's my chance. I grab my net launcher and my laspistol.I arrive at the hill near the stronghold. I set up my net launcher and pray that the night fury will come,suddenly.I sees something that look like the dragon. I pull the trigger and pray that will hit the dragon. I see the dragon fall from the sky. I am so happy.
"Yes! I did it. Anybody see that."Suddenly the Monstrous Nightmare climb the hill and roar at me.
"Except for you."
I start to run and the chase begin. I start to scream "Help"and looks like a general hear my scream. when I reach the cover general Stoick rapidly shoot his Storm Bolter to the dragon. Then it's flied away. I start recognized that the cover is the bottom of heavy bolter turret tower and the fire melt down the metal and the turret on the top falling and make the dragons escaped with our supply
"I'am sorry dad"Oh! The general's my dad too "But I shot down the Night Fury"
He pull me.I tried to explain
"It's not like the last few time Dad. I mean I really actually hit it. You guys were busy and I had avery clear shot. It went down, just off Raven Point. You should send a recon team before it's..."
"Enough!"General yells and I stop to said anything.
"Just stop it. Every time you step outside the disaster falls. Don't you see I have a bigger problems? The Winter is coming and our supply is running out. Why you can't do the simple order?"
"I-I cannot resist! When I see a dragons and I must kill,you know?
General Sigh"You can be many things, but you can't be the dragons killer. Go to your room now. I must clean his mess."
(To Gobber)"Make sure he gets there."
I hear some of my squad mate comment.
"ha ha ha you done good tonight. " Ruffnut said
"I never seen anything like this. Thank for help ha ha." Snotlout said
When I walk with commissar to my room I explain to commissar.
"I really hit it."
"sure Hiccup."
"Dad never listens."
"Well, it runs in the family."
"And when he does, it's always with this disappointed scowl, like someone skimped on the meat in his food. Excuse me, barmaid, I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered an XL boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking skeleton!"
"Now, you're thinking about this all wrong! It's not so much what you look like, it's what's inside that he can't stand."
"Thank you for summing that up sir."
" Look, the point is, stop trying so hard to be something you're not."
" I just want to be one of the Imperial Guards."
I open my room door and go to sleep.
