Wing Suit
"It's not gonna work." Astrid stated simply. Hiccup groaned in frustration for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.
"Of course it will!" He exclaimed, "I've done my research! Give me one good reason why it wouldn't work." Astrid crossed her arms over and leaned her weight over to one leg.
"Well for starters, how on earth would it hold you up?"
"Oh thank you so very much for that compliment." Hiccup deadpanned before going back to his sewing.
"You know what I meant, stop twisting my words!" She took a few steps closer and leaned over the male Viking, trying to get a closer look at what he was doing. Astrid would never understand how a man could do a woman's job even better than half of the village. "Anyways, we have the dragons, you can already fly! What's the point?"
"The point is this will allow me to fly alongside Toothless rather than have to rely on him all the time. It's a new experience, you know, ever heard of broadening your horizons?"
"Whatever, just don't come complaining to me when it doesn't work!" Astrid sighed, looking over his shoulder one last time.
"If it doesn't work I won't be complaining to anyone- I'll most likely be dead. Besides, I'm totally confident in this!" Hiccup spoke without looking up. He heard Astrid exit the forge and gave a small smile; he'd show them all how wrong they all were. This flight suit was going to work, he could feel it. All Hiccup had to do now was finish it up then prove his creation to the Village.
"You do know how stupid and reckless this is, right?" Fishlegs warned. Hiccup laughed in his own amusement.
"If it works, can you make us some?!" Ruffnut got right up in Hiccup's face with a wide grin.
"Yeah, we're all about stupid and reckless!" Tuffnut agreed with his sister.
"I-I make no promises!" Hiccup chuckled nervously, both of the siblings getting closer and closer to him in excitement.
"This idea is lame anyway!" Snotlout leaned forwards into Hookfangs' twisted horns, "I mean, what's the point in it all? We have dragons, duh! We can already fly!"
"That's what I said!" Astrid butted in; it was unusual that she was agreeing with Snotlout on anything.
"Hey!" Hiccup looked mildly offended, "you wait until I'm up there gliding! Then we'll see who's laughing!"
"I'm laughing because that suit you're wearing is ridiculous." Snotlout snorted.
"You know what? I don't care! It took me forever to make this, so when I can do what none of you can, don't come asking me to make you one of your own!"
"What?!" Tuffnut cried, "But you said you'd make us one!" He gestured to himself then Ruffnut.
"Yeah! What sort of chief goes around and breaks promises?!" Ruffnut crowed, flinging her arms out in emphasis.
"I'm not the chief yet! And I didn't promise anything! Gah! I'm going now! Just stay around here and you should be able to see me." Hiccup flung a leg over Toothless and positioned himself into the saddle.
"Please don't get killed!" Fishlegs yelled worriedly, chanting under his breath about how stupid his friends' idea was.
Stoick looked around to see the village practically deserted, not even Gobber was in his forge. What on Earth was going on? That's when he heard it. The cheering and whooping of what could only be described as a mob of excited Vikings. The chief followed the loud noise until he reached a steep cliff face, not too far from the academy. Pushing his way to the front, he found Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs and the Thorston twins.
"What in the name of Odin is going on here?!" He bellowed, hoping that people would shut up, that didn't happen.
"It's Hiccup sir, he's about to test his new project!" Fishlegs informed his chief.
"And what would that be?"
"Um, you didn't know? Well… Hiccup called it a 'Flight Suit', he's going to jump from Toothless to see if he can fly with it."
"WHAT?! He never told me about this! He is going to get himself Ki-"
"WOO!" A distant holler of pure joy bounced through the sky as a tiny figure began to fall through the sky.
"Hiccup!" Stoick mumbled; eyes wide.
"WOO!" Hiccup laughed as he fell, this was amazing! Hiccup continued to lose altitude for a further few seconds before deciding that it'd probably be best to put his plan into action sooner rather than later. The Viking began to find the loops to open the suit, he was beginning to feel a little scared now, the earth was getting closer and closer and it was getting increasingly difficult to operate as the wind continued to push against him. After a few more frightening moments, he felt a sharp jolt as he opened the suit and began parachuting on a downwards trajectory.
Although this was pretty cool too, it wasn't what he'd wanted, pulling the wings open wider and leaning forwards he began to glide. He was still going at quite a fast pace but Hiccup was more than happy at being able to prove his point to his friends. Oh what fun it was going to be when he landed. Thinking of landing, he'd like to do that now. Hiccup leaned down towards the ground and ended up doing a flip in the air- he couldn't seem to control what he was doing properly. Toothless cooed at his side and looked over at Hiccup in a friendly way; his new tail seemed to working fine too.
Once Hiccup had finally got into control he had practically hurtled across the ground. The villagers had thrown themselves out of the way to prevent themselves from being squashed by the chief's son. Rolling across the grass, Hiccup landed in a heap- the flight suit was still intact though and that was always a good sign. Toothless helped the slightly disorientated man into a sitting position. Hiccup looked around for a moment before a large grin came to his face,
"That was awesome!" He threw his long arms into the air and once worried and concerned faces changed to disbelief and shock. Hiccup had achieved yet but another seemingly impossible goal. His friends soon joined him, they ran over and didn't really know what to say, they just stared at him with gaping mouths and wide eyes. They each knew that they'd never hear the end of this.
Dragon tamer, flying Viking, when would Hiccup's win streak end?
