Episode 1: Discovery

It was a cold winter's morning on Berk. Winds were whipping up snow into large snow drifts as the sun cowered behind the dark grey clouds from the view of those who longed to see it's warm gaze upon them once more. The ocean waves crashed and roared against the might rocky cliffs that barely kept the village of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe from falling into the sea.

If was one was on the back of a dragon from the island, he or she would notice Berk was apart of a chain of islands reachable by dragon back or Viking long boat. Berk, the main island, was rather large in geography, with cavernous caves along the shoreline carved out by relentless salt water spraying across the cold, rocky shores.

In the highlands of Berk, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was out wild boar hunting with his father Stoick the Vast, the Chief of Berk, and Snoutlout, Hiccup's longtime rival. They had left their dragons back at the village as it was too dangerous and windy to fly them in this horrid weather. Despite this, Stoick, the traditionalist that he was, decided to still hold the honored hunt that tested a boy's growing into manhood. And this boar hunt was certainly a test that both boys passed with flying colors.

However, Hiccup took a lot of convincing since he was never really the type of Viking that killed anything. However, when Stoick told him that this hunt would help supply much needed meat for the storehouse, Hiccup gave in to his father and agreed to go.

" You did good boys! Got some nice lookin' hogs if I do say so myself! Their tusks will make fine dagger hilts! I'm really impressed with your marksmanship with the bow and arrow. Must be all the dragon training eh Hiccup?" Stoick boomed with pride in his Scottish accented voice, a glint of delight shinning in his eyes.

Hiccup himself couldn't help but smile at his father. Moments like these he would always treasure, as his father was growing old, he could see it in the Chief's eyes, despite the almost youthful energy he possessed.

Hiccup shook his head of those thoughts, grunting a bit in discomfort as the hog he was carrying was starting to become troublesome. Stoick was pulling a sled behind him. He was in deep thought enough that he failed to notice a ridge in the snow as Hiccup yelled out in surprise and tripped, face planting in the snow, hog flying into Stoick.

"What the hell…" Hiccup grumbled as he pried his face from the snow, wiping off the snow as he froze ( no pun intented ), when he saw the heel of a human foot sticking out from the snow. Or he thought it was human…

" Hiccup! Are you-THOR ALMIGHTY!" Stoick shrieked at the sight as the wind blew the snow off enough to reveal the hideous corpse:

It was large, a good seven feet tall if it was to stand upright. Its fingers were large massive claws, including his toes which were massive talons. It's snout reminded Hiccup of a bat, sharp teeth protruding from it's jaws. Its eyes were set deep into it's skull and were rather large. Upon further examination, Hiccup noticed it's hand were clenched around something.

" C'mon, tell me what secrets you're hiding…" Hiccup whispered to the corpse as he dug his hands into the snow, and felt something circular and disk shaped in the creature's hands.

" Hiccup, I don't think that's a good idea." Snoutlout said with a nervous tone, his body fidgeting due to the cold and nervousness of what was about to happen. With a good yank, Hiccup managed to pry the object out of the corpse's hand, and what he found startled him and yet made him more curious.

The object was about the size of a dinner plate, with a strange, crystal-like medalion in the center, with black plating around it, and gaps that revealed cord-like wraps inside the casing. Despite the cold, Hiccup was surprised by the almost organic feeling the object had, and he could of sworn he felt a pulsing, almost like a heartbeat, from the object.

" Hiccup, what is that thing for Odin's sake." Stoick whispered in stunned awe, walking up to his son. " I have no idea dad, but for some reason, my gut instincts tell me its important." Hiccup said to his father.

Hiccup placed the strange object into his hog skin string bag as his father hefted his hog onto the sled. " Alright boys, once we get home, I'll summon the village elder. Hopefully she might know what this strange turn of events." Stoick said to his son and Snotlout.

[Back at the village. Great Hall.]

" Hey Toothless!" Hiccup said in a happy tone as the Night Fury launched himself at the boy, crowing with delight to his see best friend was alright and alive. Hiccup burst into laughter as Toothless licked him to figurative death, the dragon was just so happy to see him .

"He was worried sick about you. He was making all this ruckus and noise like I never heard him make before." Astrid Hofferson , a beautiful, but tough, blond haired Viking women said to the Heir of Berk. She had long bangs that covered the left side of her face, and cascaded down her back just beyond her shoulders that ended in a braided ponytail. She was wearing a skirt with spikes surrounding it and another skirt at the bottom of the spiked skirt with a pouch on her hip and also wears skull emblazoned shoulder pads.

Suddenly, Toothless's playful mood vanished as he growled at Hiccup's bag, catching the scent of something strange and foreign. Upon seeing the change in his dragon's behavior, he slowly got up and headed towards his dragon.

He then removed the strange object, much, much to his surprise, was glowing and emitting a strange humming noise, the rope-like coils within were withering like snakes.

" Hiccup! What in the world is that thing!" Astrid shouted as suddenly the disk shaped objected opened up, plates falling to the ground as the coils latcheted onto Hiccup, the boy screaming loudly as he felt the coil dig into his skin.

It's going inside of me! Hiccup thought with sheer horror as he screamed in more pain, the coils wrapping around his form tightly before he staggered from the pain, leaning against the wall. Other Vikings fled the Great Hall while others ran over towards Astrid and Toothless.

Astrid and Toothless watched in horrified awe as Hiccup's body was overtaken by this strange lifeform. The coils then stopped moving as it solidified into hard armor. The helm grew a spikey protrusion, a control medal merged. It's eyes were narrowed and white eyepieces gave it a cold look. It's arms then began to grow spikes on them, three on it's forearm as the coils hardened even more. Soon, the transformation was complete as three orbs appeared on it's waist and the color of the creature was a pitch black. It was very muscled in appearance and looked like it could do some serious damage. Some parts of the armor revealed the coils. Its eyes were a deep rusty color.

Stoick and Gobber heard the commotion in the Great Hall and Hiccup's screaming as they stared in stupefied awe as the creature rose to it's full height, the thing panting heavily and was staggering in his steps, threatening to fall over. Astrid gasped in shock when it turned it's head towards her before she heard Hiccup's tired voice meekly speak from the creature.

"Astrid…help me." Hiccup's voice sounded before the armored teen fell to the ground, blacking out from exhaustion.
