Chapter 2: Flashbacks or Stories

They all made it off the boat before it sunk. "Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere and no one even knows where we are." Ruffnut complained. Aniu and Nava surveyed the bone and rock littered landscape. "There must be a possibility the Boneknapper is real. Remember the stories we heard about them." Aniu mused. "And most likely lives right here on this island. It is the perfect habitat for them." Nava added. Boneknappers were rumoured to be very secretive and elusive. Many dragons did not like them much because they collected bones from dead dragons to build their coat of armour. "We should have let our dragons come with us." Hiccup muttered to Astrid nodded. "At least we would not have to worry about getting shipwrecked and getting killed by a mysterious dragon." She agreed.

"Um, except for the Boneknapper. Legend says ..." Fishlegs mumbled. "Hey, you know what legend also says? Stop talking!" Snotlout interrupted. "Okay, just hold on one darn second."Fishlegs snapped, glaring at him. Aniu marched up to them and covered their mouths with her hands. "Boys, I'd greatly appreciate it if you two stopped arguing!" She snapped, glaring at Snotlout and Fishlegs who mumbled apologies and backed away. "Panicking never solves anything." Nava told them. "No need to panic, kids. I've been shipwrecked many times." Gobber said calmly. "Oh, well, that's comforting." Hiccup said sarcastically to Astrid, Aniu and Nava. "Ah, you never forget your first shipwreck." Gobber sighed as he sat down and began sharpening his hook-hand with a rock.

A younger Gobber, who was barely out of his teen years stood on a very small island with only a single palm tree on it. "I was stranded on an island with only my broom!" By then, Gobber had already lost his hand and now had it replaced with a prosthetic. Instead of something handy like a weapon, Gobber groaned when he realized he only had his broom prosthetic. Things only got worse when the Boneknapper arrived. "It was a very small island so it's no wonder that the Boneknapper found me again. He never forgave me for taking that treasure." Gobber looked up as the Boneknapper swooped down and took out the tree. Luckily, Gobber ducked before the Boneknapper could take him out.

As the Boneknapper flew away, the clouds shifted and Gobber saw another island bigger than the one he was on a short distance away. "There was another island, my only escape. But I was surrounded by bloodthirsty, hammerhead sharks." Gobber's eyes lit up but his smile vanished when black fins popped out of the water. Dozens of sharks lifted their heads out of the water and bared their fangs at him. "I only had one chance! So, I ran across the shark-infested waters, using the sharks themselves as stepping stones!"

Knowing he had no other choice, Gobber leapt off the tiny island and started running to the other island, using the sharks themselves as stepping stones. "Take that! Watch it! Good night, fatty!" Gobber shouted, punching one on the snout. "Someone forgot to brush!" He laughed as another one leapt at him, he dodged its open jaws and used his broom to clean its teeth before punching it aside. "I didn't think I was going to make it! But then, from the depths of the ocean, leapt forward a giant, hammerhead whale!"As Gobber's feet touched the shore, the Boneknapper right behind him, a huge whale leapt out of the water, jaws open wide.

(Flashback/ Story Scene ends)

"Whoa! And the Hammerhead Whale ate the Boneknapper?" Fishlegs exclaimed in awe. He was the only one who was enjoying the story. Everyone else was staring at Gobber in disbelief. "This story is completely ridiculous." Nava muttered to Aniu, Hiccup and Astrid. "It does not make any sense." Aniu said. "Who knows, the Boneknapper could be real and this story most likely happened in a different way." Hiccup said. "If the Boneknapper is real and attacked Gobber, I won't believe it until Gobber gives us proof." Astrid said. "Almost, but he got away." Gobber replied in response to Fishlegs's question. "Years later, the dragon hunted me down again and chased me into the jungle..."

Gobbe ran through a forest, breathing heavily and running as fast as he could. He glanced back to check if he was being followed. Sure enough, the Boneknapper was behind him, proving itself to be as fast on foot as it was on wing. He looked at his prosthetic to see what he had with him this time. The object made him grin."All I had was my trusty egg-beater. "Thinking fast, Gobber used it to plough through the jungle. "I carved through the thick foliage as fast as a jungle cat. Still, the Boneknapper was right behind me."Gobber slashed through some bamboo sprouts and continued on, but stopped in front of a bush of flowers. "Mm, azaleas." He said, picking one up and sniffing as if he had all the time in the world (which he didn't). He quickly dropped the flower and sprinted off the Boneknapper caught up to him.

He began to run up the side of a volcano that was so steep he was almost horizontal with the dragon right behind him. "I ran up the side of a volcano and courageously leapt across the fiery crater!" That should be impossible. Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava thought. Without even hesitating, Gobber jumped over the bubbling pit of lava below him. The Boneknapper spread its bony wings and flew after him. "Then deep within the burning volcano, burst forth a giant hammerhead yak!" A yak leapt out of the lava, its hoof inches from the bone-covered dragon's tail.

"Okay, wait a minute. Now you're saying that a giant hammerhead yak leapt out of a fiery volcano and ate the Boneknapper?" Tuffnut said flatly before Gobber could continue.

"Ha! You would've thought so, wouldn't you but the dragon got away again! I knew that bony scoundrel would keep coming after me. So, I set up a gauntlet of traps and waited for the beast." Gobber exclaimed. Sometime later, Gobber went into the forest and set up he was finished, he sat down on a chair and began playing his guitar. "And when he was ready, the Boneknapper charged! And then, I ran like the wind! But the traps failed!" The Boneknapper flew in and ran at Gobber who smirked and ran past his traps. But they missed the dragon's legs and snapped shut on thin air instead.

Gobber looked back in horror and nearly ran off a cliff but stopped in time. He stared over the edge at the high drop. If he jumped, he would surely die, but if he didn't, the Boneknapper would get him. Not knowing what to do, Gobber was helpless as the Boneknapper caught up and pinned him down under one its paws. "Then, captured, I did what any brave Viking would do." And that was to call for…"Help!" Gobber shrieked, terrified. "The gods must've heard my prayer! It was Thor!"

The clouds parted and Thor himself appeared in all his muscular glory. He picked up a massive lightning bolt and threw it at the ground. "Ah, yah missed!" Gobber yelled up at him. "Wait for it!" Thor ordered. "Then from the centre of the earth, blasted forth the hammerhead yak riding the hammerhead whale!" Out of the hole in the ground, the Hammerhead Whale shot out with the Hammerhead Yak riding on it.

"Deploy the yak." The yak ordered. The whale blasted the yak off it using its blowhole and onto the cliff edge where it kung-fu punched and kicked the Boneknapper. The whale flew over with a roar and closed its jaws around not only the Boneknapper but a chunk of the cliff. Gobber looked over the side as the yak jumped back onto the whale. Both animals saluted at him. Gobber saluted back before jumping up and crying out in victory. There was a crack and he hunched over. "Oh, my back." He groaned.

Everyone kept staring at Gobber in disbelief. "Whoa-ho, and they saluted you?" Fishlegs gasped, the only one who seemed to be buying it. "Ha! Ha!" Gobber laughed. "Can you believe it? But the Boneknapper got away again. He found me on Berk and..." As Gobber kept talking, the teens started yelling at him. "Are you kidding? I don't believe any of this!" Snotlout shouted. "Yeah, you totally made everything up!" Tuffnut said. "We need to get out of here." Ruffnut sighed. "We need to go home." Snotlout frowned. "You don't even have any proof that that thing exists!" Tuffnut finished with the words that nearly all the teens had on their minds.

"Of course I have proof. I still have the treasure. This stunning belt buckle." Gobber lifted his shirt a bit, revealing a small, T-shaped bone serving as a belt buckle. "It was in the Viking's treasure chest. It's kept my pants up for years." He told them. "It is stunning." Fishlegs replied. Aniu and Nava glanced at each other and shrugged. They both believed the Boneknapper was real but they still didn't believe Gobber's story. Gobber was known for exaggerating his stories. But the other teens were still not convinced. Even though Gobber now had a small piece of evidence, they still had a hard time believing the story. For all they knew, Gobber could have simply found the bone somewhere and decided to use it as a belt buckle.

Astrid sighed and Hiccup forward, wanting him to talk some sense into his mentor. "Uh, listen, Gobber. Instead of chasing down an imaginary dragon maybe we should figure out how to get home." Hiccup said awkwardly. "Say no more." Gobber waved him off. "I hear you loud and clear plus I've got a plan. Alright, who will like to be dragon bait." He pointed cheerfully at Fishlegs, causing him to gasp. He knew out of all the teens, he was the one who resembled Gobber the most.
