A/N: Not gonna lie this is my first crossover and Hijack story. I will apologize in advance if any of the characters are a bit OOC. Furthermore, so no one is confused this story is a bit pre HTTYD2 so everyone is HTTYD2, but it's a bit before HTTYD2 so I will be walking through that in the story along with some events from ROTG. Also, everyone is a viking so it's a bit of a viking AU. If you see any of these * look at the end of the chapter for notes and it will give you detailed information of what you need and/or want to know. Oh, and Jack will not show up until between Chapters 2 and 4. Also, in the beginning Hiccup is with Astrid that will change later since the main ship of this story is Hijack.
Summary: When Berk is faced with a new island that is either foe or enemy it's up to Hiccup and the dragon riders to venture to these new and possibly dangerous lands. However, when they're attacked by dragons Hiccup goes missing and wakes up in a village! Who are these vikings that claim to be chosen by the moon? Who exactly is Jack Frost and why doesn't he have all of his memories? Hiccup will soon gain the answer to these questions. However, when darkness arises the only way to keep Jack safe is to take him to Berk! Hiccup will soon discover more problems than his struggles of his future chiefdom, especially when it comes to a certain ice wielding viking.
Disclaimers: I don't own any of the characters in this story. There might be an OC or two thrown in for plot purposes. But I do not own anything from How To Train Your Dragon or Rise of the Guardians. The only thing that is my idea is the twist put on this story and part if not most of the plot. (There will be things from both movie plotline those are not mine. I'm not claiming those. That would be wrong.)
Chapter 1: A New Journey Begins
The wind whipped past a massive body as both a man and a dragon zipped through the sky. They twisted, turned, and spiraled through the air. Now to anyone that was not a resident of Berk this sight would be shocking. Not to mention baffling. Why would a viking ride a dragon? But that's what it was. The man's freckled face and auburn hair was covered and obscured by a metal spiked helmet. His deep emerald eyes the only part visible through a slot in the helmet. The man was dressed clad in green clothing that was covered by brown leather and furs that kept his armor in place. The dragon he was riding was a night fury with scales as dark as night, vivid forest green eyes, and a missing tail fin that was replaced with a red prosthetic tail fin. In the sky the man was free with no worries or problems. He adjusted the tail fin as the both of them swerved around rocky structures.
"What do you think Toothless? One more time around the island?" The rider asked, patting the dragon's head.
Toothless warbled in agreement. His rider let out a chuckle as he adjusted the tail fin and the both dived down. Toothless tucked in his wings before leveling back out and swooping up a bit higher.
"Hiccup!"
The man in question turned his emerald gaze behind him to see another dragon rider. The dragon was a Deadly Nadder with blue and yellow scales, golden eyes, and a spiked tail. Its rider was a young woman with blonde hair worn in a single braid that draped over her shoulder and crystal blue eyes. She like the young man was dressed in leather, furs, and armor. Her armor consisted of armored shoulder pads and an armored pleated skirt.
"Hey, Astrid." The man addressed as Hiccup greeted the woman.
"Stormfly and I have been looking for you." Astrid said, patting her dragon's head. "Stoic has something important to discuss with everyone."
Hiccup sighed. "Of course he does. Well, you heard her bud. Time to head back."
The night fury let out a soft warble of dissatisfaction as both dragons turned around carrying their riders back to Berk. The dragons made quick time zipping through the air at high speeds. They landed in the town square. Both riders dismounted from their dragons and Hiccup removed his helmet. They started on their path to the Grand Hall.
"So any idea what this is going to be about?" Hiccup inquired.
"Probably has to do with the fact that the scouts returned."
"Is that supposed to be a bad thing?"
"It is when they were attacked by dragons. I don't know all the details so I can only tell you what I've heard. We'll hear it all once we get to the Grand Hall." The blonde explained with the knowledge she held on the subject.
Hiccup nodded in agreement as they stood before the massive doors. Pushing through the doors the first to greet them was another fellow rider.
"It's about time you got here!"
The man that spoke had black hair with a metal helmet that had ram horns protruding from the top resting on his head. Like most viking men he was tall with a strong muscular build. He has a bit of facial hair growing into a dark mustache. His posture was confident and arrogant as he gazed at the two with green eyes.
"Nice to see you too, Snotlout." Hiccup drawled sarcastically.
"Hiccup! There ya are. Nice ta see ya decided ta join us. Come now. Ya best join Stoic."
The man that spoke was larger than Snotlout and older than all three young adults. He had a long blonde mustache that hung in braids down his face and blue eyes. He had a hook for one of his hands and a peg leg.
"Okay. Got it Gobber." Hiccup said to the large man. " I'll see you later guys."
With that said the auburn haired man continued to the large table where his father stood at the head of it. Stoic the Vast was an easy man to spot. As the chief of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe Stoic was a tall and large built man. He was very strong. The man in question standing at the head of the long table had red hair with a braided beard and mustache. On his head like many other vikings rested a metal helmet with horns protruding from each side.
"Hey, dad." Hiccup greeted as he stopped next to his father.
"Hiccup! Good you're here. Now we can begin." Stoic said with satisfaction. "Listen up everyone! As you all know we sent scouts to the north to confirm if there was in fact a village of magic users. There have been stories of an island filled with hostile magic users. We've all heard the stories. The scouts were able to confirm there was a village right before being attacked by wild dragons. From what I was told by one of the men the dragons were a breed we've yet to lay eyes on."
There was an uproar as people clamored for answers. Voices blended together as words were shouted.
"What do we do?!"
"What if they attack Berk?!"
"We best destroy them before they destroy us!"
"SILENCE!" Stoic bellowed silencing everyone in the building. "We've been at peace for too long. If another war breaks out we will not b the cause of it! We haven't even confirmed if that village is filled with magic users."
"Aye. That may be well and good, but we've no idea what these people are capable of. We should be prepared if it comes ta a fight."
The man that spoke bore a great resemblance to Snotlout except older, taller, and had more facial hair.
"Spitelout! It's too dangerous to send someone on a boat to investigate." Stoic said firmly.
"What about a dragon?" Hiccup interjected.
"Absolutely not!"
"Dad think about it! The riders and I can go and check it out. We'll be safe with the dragons and we'll be able to stay out of sight. Afterwards we'll come right back. We could be wrong about them being hostile."
"Aye. The boy is right Stoic." Gobber agreed.
Stoic looked at Hiccup as if debating before he finally spoke. "Alright. But you get out of there if it gets too dangerous."
"We're vikings. It's an occupational hazard."
"That's my boy! Alright! It's decided! Hiccup will lead a team to these northern islands and return with what they find."
There was talking among the crowd as it began to slowly disperse. Hiccup quickly shuffled out of the Grand Hall. As soon as he edited the building he was rejoined by Toothless.
"Hey, bud. Let's get to the academy.." He said as both man and dragon started the trek to the Dragon Academy.*
The emerald eyes man was curious though. He wondered what kind of dragons they would find. Maybe even be able to track down another night fury. That would be great for Toothless if he wasn't the last of his kind. He also wondered what the people would be like. Would they be peace faring people or would they be bloodthirsty like Dagur and the Berserkers had once been? With that thought the man and dragon entered the academy.
"Look out!"
Hiccup quickly sucked and rolled out of the way as a fireball hit the wall above where Hiccup had just been. Toothless growled annoyed as Hiccup got back up to his foot and prosthetic, dusting himself off.
"Hiccup are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Fishlegs."
Fishlegs was a tall young man with a larger build than the others in their group. He had blonde hair mostly covered by a helmet and bright green eyes. He had facial hair growing into a mustache and beard. Not too far behind Fishlegs was his dragon Meatlug. Meatlug was a Gronkle with brown and beige scales. Like most dragons she had yellow tinted eyes. Her build was large and robust. As Hiccup lifted his gaze he saw that not far from him was Astrid and Stormfly. A bit away from her was Snotlout and his Monsterous Nightmare, Hookfang. Hookfang was large towering over many of the other dragons with scales varying shades of red and black with black horns sitting atop the dragon's head. Some places away were the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut. The two always dressed similar to each other. Tuffnut unlike his twin sister wore his blonde hair in multiple braids. Ruffnut in difference to her twin wore her hair in two braids hanging down each side of her face. Behind the twins was their dragon, Barf and Belch. Barf and Belch was a Hideous Zippleback. Unlike other dragons this one had two heads with long necks. It had a horn above its snout on each head and green scales that faded into yellow in one areas.
"Wasn't us." The twins said immediately.
"Of course it wasn't." Hiccup drawled sarcastically. "Alright as I'm sure all of you know by now we're going on a mission. It's a stealth mission. We're to head north to check and see if these people are hostile or not."
"Should we really bring Snotlout for a stealth mission?" Astrid questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey!"
"Well, we'll need him in case things don't go as planned."
"I've got a better idea! I say Hookfang and I teach them what happens when they mess with Berk!" Snotlout said with a cocky smirk causing Hiccup to sigh.
"Snotlout we can't do that. If there's going to be a fight we're not going to be the ones to start it."
Fishlegs nodded in agreement. "This is a bit exciting! There are unknown species of dragons there! Just think what we can find!"
"Can we cause an avalanche there?" Tuffnut asked.
"No." Astrid said immediately.
"Aww." The twins sighed with a crown.
"Alright gang. We'll be leaving tomorrow so make sure to be packed and rested. We leave in the morning." Hiccup said as the others went back to what they had been doing earlier.
"What do you think we'll find there?" Astrid asked inquisitively.
"Well, we'll find a lot of snow and a new breed of dragon. So that's the obvious. Hopefully the people are not hostile."
"I guess we'll find out. Even if they are at least we'll be prepared if they ever set their sights on Berk."
"I'd rather it not come to that."
"Don't worry about it babe. You'll figure it out. I'll see you later. Gotta go pack for tomorrow." The blonde said, placing a quick kiss to Hiccup's cheek before leaving with Stormfly following her.
Hiccup smiled as he turned his gaze towards Toothless. "Come on, bud. Let's go home."
With that said they left the arena and started on the path home.
"What do you think we'll find bud? We'll be finding something that's for sure. It'll be something if we're able to track down another night fury." Hiccup spoke to the dragon getting a few excited warbles in reply causing him to chuckle.
He entered his house to see his father placing some food on the table.
"Hey, dad." Hiccup greeted.
"Hiccup." Stoic greeted in return.
Hiccup walked over and pulled out a basket of raw fish setting it in front of Toothless. The night fury immediately dug in taking mouthfuls of the fish and gulping it down. The emerald eyed man sat at the table with his father. He cut a piece of the cod of his plate and placed it in his mouth.
"How long do you think it'll take ya?" Stoic asked taking a drink of mead.*
"With any luck when we get there it will only take a few days. At max a week."
Stoic nodded. "Aye, but you be careful. If they do have magic I don't want you or the others engaging them until we know what they can do."
"I know, but hopefully it won't come to that." Hiccup said taking a drink of mead before taking a few more bites of food. "Besides if anything happens we've got the dragons. Well, dad I'm going to pack for tomorrow."
"Alright son."
Hiccup went upstairs followed by Toothless. Once he made it to his room he removed Toothless's saddle and prosthetic tail fin. The night fury bounded off to the stone slab that functioned as his bed. Toothless used a small amount of his fire breath to warm up the stone slab before laying on it. Hiccup grabbed a brown satchel and he started packing the necessities he'd need. He packed some water, two spare prosthetics, and fish for Toothless among other things. He removed his inferno blade followed by his armor piece by piece until he was left in his long sleeved green shirt and brown trousers. He sighed as he stripped out of his clothes and into a pair of comfortable cotton pants and a shirt. The auburn haired man removed his prosthetic setting it aside. He crawled under the furs on his bed blowing out the single candle on his bedside.
"Good night Toothless."
He received a soft purr in reply as he drifted off to unconsciousness. The week ahead was going to be exciting. This was just the beginning of a new journey.
Notes:
The Dragon Academy is formed in Dragons Defenders of Berk. It's the old arena they used to use to kill the dragons.
Mead is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices, grains, or hops.
