Hey everyone! Long time to write, I know. But I have had a crazy semester so far this year and I finally have gotten a chance to catch my breath. So, here is a story that I got the idea for recently. It is more of an actiony (if that's a word) and Hiccup!Whump story, so you have been warned.

It takes place in Dragons: Defenders of Berk episode 7: Worst in Show.

I hope you enjoy!

Hiccup had about had it with the Riders at this point. They were standing around arguing over one of the dumbest things imaginable: who was the best Dragon Trainer. He hated it when his friends turned everything into a competition, but this just topped the cake. He should have known that it would come to this today, especially with how they acted the day before during rescue exercises.

Hiccup was a little nervous when Fishlegs suggested training the terrors and making it a competition. He thought it was idiotic to put on the wager of cleaning the stables, though. He didn't mind a little friendly competition, where everyone tries their best and has nothing to lose, every once in a while. But to turn everything into a competition, was really uncalled for. He didn't really care for competitions for a very simple reason: the Riders, when they were younger, before the Red Death, would have lots of competitions. They would either leave Hiccup out of them, or rig them to make it impossible for him to win.

However, he had his taste of victory during Thawfest, and he noticed what that did to him. It brought out his uglier side, a side that he didn't entirely care for and didn't want to see again. He knew that the Riders had all neglected their dragons, more or less, in order to train the terrors, and that was really bothering him.

Hiccup looked around the arena to try to get an out of this situation. He noticed that Meatlug was about to leave, so he had Toothless convince her to stay in the arena. Like was previously said, Hiccup had had it.

"Guys," he said. Apparently, he wasn't loud enough for everyone to hear him. "GUYS!" he yelled this time. He had a point to make and he was going to say it.

"What is it, Hiccup? Did you decide on a winner?" Astrid asked, her eyes full of excitement.

"Yes, in fact, I did." This shocked everyone, mainly because Hiccup had been so adamant that this was not a competition. "In order to find out who it is, however, you all have answer a series of questions." The other Riders looked frustrated at this, but overall were too curious to know who the winner was.

"Out of all of us," Hiccup began, "which one found their dragon in the wilderness and managed to befriend them after they tried to kill who is now their Rider?" He looked around at their faces, shock being the main expression shown. They all knew the answer to that question.

"Next question. Which of us managed to train their dragon, which includes the bonding process, with no help from anyone else? This person was able to learn tips and tricks and manage to help others when they were training dragons. Who was it?" The Riders faces were still showing shock. However, it was Fishlegs who spoke up first.

"It was you, Hiccup. We trained them to do certain things, but you accelerated the bonding process. You helped all of us." The other Riders all nodded sheepishly in agreement.

"Exactly. I was the only one who trained a truly wild dragon." Hiccup never liked showing this side of him, but the others needed a reality check. He took a deep breath before finishing. "Anyway, good work with the terrors. Take the rest of the day off to spend with your dragons that I know you neglected to train your terrors. If you need me, wait until dinner. I want some time alone."

Hiccup left without looking back. He just wanted to do a few laps around Berk to clear his head. Unfortunately for him, he didn't know that Alvin the Treacherous was watching this entire time.

Please review! See you guys next chapter!
