Hello everyone. Thanks for clicking on this story. I'm new here and this is my first story. So, I hope I do well on the first try. Before you read, this is a crossover between HTTYD with dragcave. I'll have a link to that website just in case you want to know in my profile. Or check it out on Wikipedia. And I want to thank my friend, LoveOneself, for supporting me.
Chapter 1: It's A Dragon?
On the land of Berk, Hiccup rise up from his bed with a yawn. Toothless opens his eyes to see what the sound was. The young Viking threw his blanket aside and leans on the edge. He shivers at the sudden change of body heat. The Night Fury crawled from his stone bed to his rider. He stood up with his wings extending around the boy. Hiccup smiles at Toothless. You can always rely on a dragon to keep you warm. Well, in Berk that is…
"Let's see what we can do today. And if we have time, we can fly a little." Hiccup offered.
Toothless nodded happily. The Night Fury normally enjoys taking a nice flight with his rider. The boy quickly secures his artificial limb on. The two rush down the stairs and into the living room. There, his father Stoick fumbles with the burning woods. He and his son said their 'good morning' before resuming their previous actions. Hiccup and his dragon race out of the house to the dock.
Instantly, the brunet falls down to the icy ground. That can explain the sudden cold. Toothless bit down on his furry brown jacket to help him up. That's one way of helping someone.
"Thanks buddy, I can handle the rest."
The boy brushed off any leftover snow or ice on his body after standing up. He patted his dragon, expressing his gratitude. On the far end, he could see his Uncle-figure Gobber yanking on fishing nets. It's probably for the stock. Winter can be brutal throughout the months. Thanks to Toothless and the rest of the dragons, he and his friends wouldn't be standing here after the last blizzard storm.
"Good morning Gobber. Do you need some help there?"
"Nah, I can handle this. I need to keep my Viking-ness fresh. I don't want to lose to you youngsters just yet." He chuckled.
"Okay then. I'll see ya around Gobber."
"Alrighty then…"
Hiccup shrugged his shoulder as the two walk away. They head down to town to see if they could do anything. Deadly Nadders are on the snowy rooftops of their owners, resting. Monstrous Nightmares are walking closely to their owners with flames on its' body to keep warmth. Gronckles are lazily sleeping on the icy ground, snoring quite loudly. As for the Hideous Zipplebacks, they're busy with their conversation. And from the sight of it, it's not going too well.
Toothless nudged on Hiccup's side to get his attention. And it worked. The over-grown reptile lowers his body to indicate that he wants his rider on his back. The brunet did as he was gestured to, thinking that his friend want to take a ride early. Toothless extend his wing fully and rush off to take flight. Within seconds, the two are up in the air. The brunet looks down to his home. Everyone seems to be happy with their dragons. Everything is peaceful. That's a great sight to him since he worked hard for it.
Hiccup stroke the upper part of Toothless' head. His scaly friend purrs with contentment.
"Since there's not much for us to do, we can go anywhere. Is there any place in mind, bud?" He asked.
Toothless fold his wings, making his speed quicker. His rider tightened his grip on the saddle to make sure he doesn't fall off. It seems like his friend is eager today. Their flight didn't last long as Hiccup thought it would be. The dragon lands safely in front of the Dragon Academy. His rider furrows his brow in confusion. Why are they here for? The only time they're here is when they're teaching dragons something.
Hiccup removes himself off the saddle.
"You need anything here Toothless?"
Toothless sat down with his tail wagging near his side. He looks at his rider with docile-like eyes. He nudges his head on Hiccup's shoulder to bring him closer to arena. The brunet shrugged his shoulders without that much thinking. All he could think was that Toothless was acting really weird. It's better than having him going around destroying objects. That happened a lot with other dragons.
The boy went up to the lever and switched it to open. The gate lifts itself upward, letting anyone have access to it. The two walk in to see Snoutlout against the wall, sleeping. And from the spikes, it seemed like Astrid's Stormfly had a little fun. Speaking of the Deadly Nadder, she curled herself up as she was resting with the other dragons. And no riders in sight too, if he doesn't count the boy hanging on the wall.
"That's strange. Where is everyone?"
From the sound of someone's voice, Hookfang was the first to wake up. He lifted himself up and walks over to Hiccup and Toothless. He grumbles tiredly at the Night Fury. Toothless tilt his head. He does the same back to the Monstrous Nightmare. The two engage a conversation of their own while Hiccup watch with little interest. It seems like a lot of dragons are tired since winter is ending soon. They probably overworked themselves. The two dragons became silent. They avert their attention to the sky out of sudden.
"Toothless, Hookfang, what's wrong?" He asked.
The two roared sharply. Hiccup covers his ears to block the sudden outburst. The brunet looks upward to see what the Night Fury and Monstrous Nightmare are screaming over at. He could see what seems like a flying serpent falling down from the sky and heading down straight to the forest near Berk. The brunet removed his hands away from his ear after the roaring dim down.
"We better go check that out, bud." Hiccup said with haste.
Toothless nods in agreement. The brunet rushes to the saddle and securely prepares himself for take-off.

Scarlet mumbles lowly as pain shot through her head. She sat up on the ground, leaning against a tree. Even though her vision is blurry, she could still see. As far as she could see, there were broken trees and crumbled grounds. She tried to stand up to find herself falling back down again. Wow, that was one tough crash landing. Crash landing… Dragon… The brunette begins to panic. Her dragon is not with her. Her precious Sky is gone. She forces herself to stand with what is left of her strength. Even though the pain in her leg and arm is disagreeing with her, she continues her way to find her Skywing Dragon.
"Don't worry, Sky. I'll find you no matter what." She muttered.
–
Hiccup and Toothless landed safely to the ground. Apparently whatever that crash landed, it went in Unlandable Cove. They could see that it didn't go so smoothly. Hiccup can remember Toothless doing the same when he attempted to capture him. Coincidentally, it was the same spot too. But less scratches and claw marks.
"Maybe it's fell in the cove where we first met."
And that's where they went. Strangely, the closer they got, the louder a screeching sound could be heard. After a while of walking, they quickly took a peek at the cove deep down with caution. There, Hiccup and Toothless could see is a turquoise with a white belly serpent. The only thing it did was screech wildly to the sky. It didn't try to move its body. Not that it was trying to from the appearance.
"We better check if it is hurt."
The two went down the rocks and straight to the dragon. The screeching stopped when it caught sight of Hiccup and Toothless. It didn't have arms or legs, just two pairs of fins on the middle of its' tail and tip and two large wings on its' back for flying. The brunet walked closer to it and held out his hand to show no hostile intentions. The serpent-like dragon backs away its' head. Just when Hiccup was close enough, it let out a bloody screech. Much louder than the last ones it did before.
Toothless stands on his hind legs with wings extending. He roars back at the other dragon, informing it that he was ready to battle if it harms his rider. The turquoise dragon slithers away the best it could to run from the Night Fury. Hiccup pulled away his hand as it moves away. Apparently, he's not wrong when he thought there was something was not right. The boy focus on its' tail to see a large wound with blood dripping down.
"We're not here to hurt you. You're safe now." Hiccup reassured to over-grown serpent.
Again, the dragon continues to slither away. The brunet knows that it'll lead to nowhere if this continues.

Scarlet was breathing heavily. Her vision wasn't much of improvement either. But she was still determined. Earlier, she heard a familiar screeching sound coming from one direction. It was definitely her dragon calling for her. It seems like she encountered some strangers after all the yelling. Scarlet pickups her pace as she tries to see if there are any trees nearby. She was mostly relying on those to help her stand. If not, she would be crawling. That would be more tiring.
She stopped midway when she saw a cove underground. There she spots three things: a boy, a black dragon, and her Sky. Apparently, the brunet is trying to touch her Skywing. And her dragon keeps moving away. She didn't know what was going on but all she knows is that boy is messing with her Sky. Scarlet slid down the rocks and towards the group.
"Leave her alone!" She shouted.
Hiccup turns around to see a brunette with sapphire eyes heading towards him. She was glaring at him too as she made way. Scarlet pushes the brunet aside as she extends her arms in front of the serpent dragon. Sky caresses her owner's back cheerfully. Scarlet smiles; happy to be reunited with her dragon. Her smile dropped the moment she laid her eyes on the brunet. She frowns and glares at Hiccup and Toothless again.
"What is it that you want with my dragon?" She said cautiously.
"I saw something fall from the sky. I thought I check it out to see what it is. I'm not here to hurt you or your dragon." Hiccup reassured.
Scarlet let the information sink into her mind. Apparently, the boy doesn't seem to be lying… Not that he looks like one. And if he tries something on them, he doesn't look like the strongest out of the bunch. However his dragon is a different story. He looks strong enough to take her and Sky down single-handed. She drops her arms. She softens her glare. They look trustworthy. And until proven not to, she'll listen for now.
"Fine, I believe you. But we're wounded and need to be healed. Can you take us to where it is safe?"
"Yeah, I'll take you there. It seems like your dragon is unable to fly."
Hiccup strap himself on Toothless. He extended his hand to the brunette, who takes it to sit behind him. As for Sky, she had to be carried by the Night Fury. They took off to Berk. Scarlet thought out a plan just in case if something didn't go 'right'. For now, she just wanted her dragon to get better.
