Hey everyone. Welcome to chapter 2 of this entirely new crossover. Just to let you know that I might go in and out from this story. But stay clear of early chapters for these next couple of weeks. Also, expect a few updates throughout the chapter. it's only to correct any errors that might happen. As for the other stories, I might wait on them for a bit and focus on this one. Alright, enjoy the chapter.


Hiccup woke up that morning and thought that everything was a dream, unfortunately he realized that it was all real. He stretched his arms before collecting himself. He looked to his left and saw that Arthur still asleep on that same bed. Not wanting to wake his new acquaintance, he quietly got out of the bed and rubbed his hands.

After that, did what first came to his mind. Which is finding out where Toothless was. He came out of the cabin and went into the barn where he last saw his companion go into. Inside, he saw a number of horses that were a bit crammed in the barn. He squeezed his way through and search for his dragon inside.

"Toothless,"he called. "You in here bud?"

From what he heard, there was a little cooning noise from the platform above. Hiccup went up to the ladder and saw Toothless saying about near the window. He opens one eye and instantly pops his head up. There, he smiled his usual toothless smile and warbled at the sight of his friend.

"Hey bud,"he said. "How did you sleep?"

Toothless lets out another coon before nuzzling Hiccup's chest. There, he sat down next to the Night Fury, and allowed him to set his head on the young boy's lap.

"We finally made it,"he pointed out. "We survived the night bud. And to think that you ever doubted me."

Toothless shot a look at him before nudging him in the shoulder. He put his hands up before the dragon continued to lay on his lap.

"Okay, I'll give you that one bud,"he said. "But we were lucky to run into those guys. They saved us."

Toothless nodded in agreement to that. Only because he was right. Hiccup got up from Toothless and started heading down to the lower platform.

"I'm gonna go over to the shack just across from here. See if I can find out something about these people. You're welcome to come if you want."

Toothless nodded before dozing off to sleep. Hiccup left the barn and made his way to the shack just nearby. He rubbed his hands before opening the door to inside to , the young viking chief was met with a bunch of stares from the people inside. There was an awkward silence that filled the room. But Hiccup broke that silence with a small wave of his right hand.

"Hey everyone,"he greeted. "Care for one more person?"

"Sure,"said the old man from last night. "There's plenty of room."

Hiccup nodded before taking a seat at the chair just across from them.

"How are you holding up?" the old man asked.

"I'm fine for now,"Hiccup answered. "Just a few frostbites, but nothing too serious."

"My name's Hosea by the way,"he said politely. "Hosea Matthews."

"Nice to meet you Hosea,"Hiccup replied. "I'm Hiccup."

They shook hands for a second and then sat back down on their chairs. There they talked for a while and shared a cup of coffee here and there. Hiccup explained where he was from and what his recent past has been. And return, Hosea talked about how he and the other people were wanted men and how they were being chased up the mountains by these men that they called "Pinkertons."

"They referred to us as Outlaws,"said Hosea. "A term that was used in the west to define people like us."

"Interesting,"Hiccup replied. "And what do outlaws usually do?"

"Ah just standard things," Hosea answered. "Rob, kill... bad things that people like the Pinkertons go completely against. A few weeks ago we tried to rob a ferry just down near a town called Blackwater. It was going just fine, but then they showed up. Killed half of our people and chased us all the way up here."

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that," Hiccup pointed out. "A few months ago I lost my dad in the middle of a battle."

"Who killed him," Hosea asked in curiosity.

"My own dragon shot him,"he answered. "Was controlled by this madman and was ordered to dispose of me. But before he could make the kill, my father got in the way."

"I'm sorry to hear that too,"Hosea mourned. "Losing people is really tough. Especially the ones you love."

"That dragon is the reason why I still fight," Hiccup added. "He's everything to me. To avenge him, he challenged the dragon that ordered him to kill me to a duel. He won that duel and united all of the dragons to send it back into the seas. Now he's presumed to be the King of Dragons. Or Alpha for short."

"Speaking of that,"Hosea pointed out. "Is he...dangerous in any other way?Not to be offensive, but just out of curiosity."

"He becomes dangerous only if you startle him. But he won't harm you as long as I'm with him."

"Okay, I'm only asking this because some of us were a bit frightened to see such a magnificent creature."

"Well, he's safe to be around for now."

Several others joined them in the other seats. They were all men. One had a curve on his hat, one had a bottle on his hand and the last one had a rifle on his back. And Hosea found this as an opportunity to introduce the new guys to the other members of the gang.

"How about we introduced you to the boys, shall we?"he requested.

"Sure, why not?" Hiccup replied. "It's good to meet new people. Even if they're do-gooders or not."

Then Hosea points to the man closest to them.

"Hiccup, this here is Bill Williamson,"he said. "He used to be in the United States Army. But eventually he got stripped from his position and winded up with us."

He got out of his seat and shook hands with this new feller.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Hiccup,"he said. "I heard talk about how you fought bravely back in your home."

"Ah, it wasn't much," Hiccup replied. "I just do my best to protect my people."

Bill smiled warmly before turning back to his seat. Then, Hosea turns to the man near the cockpit with a rifle in his hand.

"This is dear old Lenny Summers,"he introduced. "His father was once beaten to death by a drunken white folk. He got his revenge eventually. Ran for his entire life. And then one day ran into us."

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Haddock,"he greeted with a hand shake.

"Please, call me Hiccup,"he commented. "Only members outside my tribe call me Mr. Haddock."

After Lenny, he was introduced to so much more. He first was introduced to a Mexican bandit named Javier told him stories about his own country, and how he tends to do everything in his own power to avoid it. In return, Hiccup told him how he used to be the runt of his village and was avoided by everybody he knew. Including his own father.

Javier was sad to see someone who was once rejected by his own people, but was happy to hear that everything turned out to be okay afterwards. He offered him a cigarette to show his generosity, but Hiccup politely declined his offer. Saying that he doesn't smoke.

Then the door on the other side of the room opened. From there, one of the women entered the cabin with a really worried look on her sat near the fire and rubbed her hands together. Something was wrong.

"You okay there, Abigail," Hosea asked.

"It's John," she answered. "He ain't been seen in days. And the weather ain't let up. He's strong and smart. Strong at least."

Then Arthur came out from that same door. He shook off some of the snow on his coat before going straight to the fireplace.

"Hello Arthur,"she greeted.

"Abigail,"he greeted back.

He puts another log in the fireplace before he catches a worried look on Abigail's face.

"Arthur,"she said. "How you doing?"

"Just fine, Abigail," he replied. "And you?"

She paused for a second before she continued.

"I need you to...," she spoke. " I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ask but..."

Hiccup saw Arthur growling in annoyance and wondered what it was that he was so angry about.

"It's little John," he said. "He's gotten himself into a scrape again."

"He hasn't been seen in two... two days."

"You're John will be fine," Arthur reassured. "I mean, he might be as dumb as rocks and as dull as rusted iron, but that ain't changing because he got caught into some snow storm."

"At least take a look,"said Hosea.

Then he turns over to Mr. Escuela, who was minding his own business.

"Javier?"he called out.

"Yes?" Javier answered.

"Will you ride out with Arthur to take a look for John?" Hosea asked. "You're the two best men we've got."

"Now?"

"She's...we're..we're all,"Hosea stuttered. "We're pretty worried about him."

After finishing his cigarette, Javier got up and grabbed a Sawed-Shotgun.

"I know,"he said. "If the situation were reversed and, he'd look for me."

He handed the weapon to Arthur before heading out the door. And Arthur soon followed him after.

"Thank you,"Abigail replied.

Once they were gone, Hiccup still hung around the people in the cabin. And for each person who came in, were people that he got to meet. He talked with the women mostly. Some were Mary-Beth, Tilly, Karen and Abigail as well. From what he heard, they were astonishing things that even impressed a chief like himself. A few more minutes he still lazed about in there.

Then there was a crack from the door. They all turned to it, and next thing they knew, it slowly started opening. They waited for a second to see if it was something familiar. And before they knew it, Toothless popped his head out from the door. He continued to open it when he too was stopped by the many faces in the room.

Bill jumped out of his seat and everyone with the exceptions of Hosea, Hiccup, and Lenny panicked a little by the sight of the dragon. Toothless crouched low and growled in agitation. But was once again stopped by Hiccup.

"It's okay bud," he reassured. "Everything's cool."

Then, Toothless stood down and slowly walked to Hiccups's spot. There, he laid beside Hiccup and kept his eyes on the people around them.

"What the hell is that thing?" Bill demanded.

"Easy Bill,"Hosea calmed. "It's just the dragon from last night."

"Don't worry about Toothless,"said Hiccup. "He's usually like this when he's threatened. But inside, he's just a big softly."

Toothless shot a look at Hiccup and growled.

"No offense bud."

Then the Night Fury plopped his head on top of his forepaws and closed his eyes in contentment. He opened one eye lazily and stared at the group.

"About that,"said Lenny. "When I was a boy, my father would tell stories of dragons. But none of them looked like him."

"That's because Toothless isn't just any dragon,"said Hiccup. "He's a Night Fury."

"And what is a Night Fury, may I ask?"Lenny questioned.

"Only the one dragon that you don't want to come across,"Hiccup answered. "Back where I'm from, the Night Fury was probably the most dangerous dragons we ever had. He was nicknamed, 'The Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself."

"Really," Hosea said in curiosity. "And why is that?"

"That's just it,"Hiccup replied. "No one knows for sure. This species was so rare, they're believed to be a myth."

"But here you are sitting with one,"said Lenny.

"Yeah,"he said. "I guess that's lucky me."

"How did you two meet anyway?" Hosea asked. "It's not likely that two separate species would meet at a such accurate time."

"Well," said Hiccup. "It's a long story. But I can tell it. Since there's no other way to pass the time."

From there, he told them about how he shot down Toothless when he was just a boy, and shared about the friendship that the two formed in the cove. He also told them about keeping it all a secret from his village, and the events that followed from there. He also added his goal into uniting dragon and viking alike and the circumstances that eventually went along the way.

It was a story that took the very interest of most of the gang members. And some were most impressive about that. Others didn't mind. But fellers like Micah didn't really pay attention to such great stories from a man far away from home.

After that, he met other people as well. One such person was a little boy named Jack Marston. Who apparently was the some of both Abigail and John. He was first afraid of Toothless for what he was, but when Hiccup showed just how gentle he could be, he drew closer to return Toothless gave him a little Toothless smile that made Jack giggle a little. And Abigail smiled herself in the view of the young chief teaching her boy about his dragon.

Minutes later, Hiccup explored the mining town. Meeting other members of the gang as well. He met Susan Grimshaw the camp keeper. Who greeted him fairly. Then he met the camp cook Mr. Pearson, who told tales about how he was in the US Navy and what he did to survive out in the water. Hiccup commented that he voyaged the seas is entire life, and understood where Pearson was coming from.

Then he stumbled upon Uncle, who suffered from a disease called Lumbago. And from there he met others, including Charles Smith, Molly O'shea, Leopold Strauss, and finally Reverend Swanson. The only two that he didn't get to know better were Sadie and Micah. Sadie because he wanted to give her some space after the traumatic incident that just happened. And Micah because he left the camp before he could even say a word.

Hours later, Hiccup saw Arthur and Javier coming back with someone on the behind Javier. He seemed to be pretty injured in the face.

"Can we get some help!" Javier shouted.

"Can we get some help over here!" Arthur yelled.

Abigail came running out of the cabin with a huge smile on her face.

"You're alive!"she yelled. "Oh you're alive!"

From there, Bill and Lenny came rushing outside and ran out to Javier's horse. They lifted John carefully off and carried him from both sides of his arms. But as they carried him, he yelped out in pain.

Ah, careful idiotas!" Javier calls out. "It's his leg."

Toothless came over to see who the man was, but he didn't get a proper view. Probably because they were moving so fast. Once the three were inside, Abigail turns back to the two men.

"Thank you,"she said. "Thank you both."

Then, she followed Bill and Lenny into the cabin and came helped lay John on the mattress at the end of the room.

"This is a new low,"she says. "Even by your standards."

Once the cabin door shut, the three turned to Hosea. Who came out just as Abigail disappeared.

"Thank you," Arthur. "Thank you."

"You got any other lost maidens need saving?" Arthur asks sarcastically.

"Not today,"Hosea replied.

Then, Javier disappeared into the other shack. Toothless looks back at Hiccup, who shrugs in confusion. Then they continue to listen to Arthur and Hosea's conversation.

"Have you and Dutch talked about how we're gonna get out of this?"Arthur asked.

"I was just discussing with Herr Strauss," Hosea answered. "When the weather breaks, I suppose we'll have to keep heading East."

"East?!" Arthur bursts out. " Into all that...that civilization?"

Just hearing Arthur say that made Hiccup and Toothless wonder what he meant by that. "Civilization." What was that suppose to mean? But if it meant leaving the mountains, then it's a chance that they had to take.

"I know,"said Hosea. "The west is where our problems are worse."

Then he turns to Leopold.

"Come on, Herr Strauss. Let's get warm."

"Thank you Mr. Morgan," Strauss said to Arthur before following Hosea into the cabin.

Hiccup looked at Arthur, who started heading into his own cabin. Then he looked at Toothless. The two shared a look before following Arthur into his cabin and settling in for the night.


Three days have passed and the pair had stayed with this fine group of individuals. By then Hiccup got to know everyone. Every single soul. On the morning of the third day, he saw Arthur and Charles coming back with two deer carcasses on the backs of their horses. Much to Toothless's surprise, he had to wait before he could catch his fill.

By the afternoon,Mr. Pearson had offered them some stew. And even though that's not what they usually eat, Hiccup couldn't refuse. For he nor Toothless had eaten anything but packed up salmon that they caught a few days before. He tried it and did it taste quite good. In fact, this stew was probably better than the one that he had at home. He gave some to Toothless, who genuinely excepted it. He shivered a bit before actually getting into the taste.

And he liked it too, and they happily thanked Pearson for that. Later on, they found out that half of the gang had disappeared. Hiccup asked Hosea where they went off to, he told him that they were headed to an O'driscoll outpost just south of here.

From there, he waited for them to return. By evening, most of them came back. All except for Arthur. They waited for him to return for thirty minutes. By then,he already returned. This time, he had a person tied up to the back of his horse. He assumed that it was one of them 'O'driscoll' boys and paid no attention to it. Though he did listen to their conversation.

"Huh, said Dutch. "You found the little sh*t did you?"

"Yeah," Arthur replied. "I got him."

"Very good."

Then he drops the O'driscoll on the floor and cuts the bonds from his legs.

"Welcome to your new home," Dutch teased. "Hope you're real happy here."

"You want me to make him talk?" Arthur suggested.

"Oh no," Dutch answered. "Now all we'll get is lies."

Then he calls out a few people. It didn't take long for the other boys to come out.

"Uncle, Mr. Williamson," he called. "Tie this maggot up some place safe. We get him hungry first."

Then he stands right in front of the tied up O'driscoll.

"I got a saying, my friend," he started. "We shoot fellers as need shooting, save fellers as need saving, and feed'em as need feeding. We're gonna find out what you need."

Hiccup nodded at that saying as if it was fair. He did have a point. And to be honest, it wasn't all that bad. Next thing he knew, he heard Dutch chuckling as Bill and Dutch take the tied up feller to one of the other shacks.

"I can't believe it," he heard Dutch say. "An O'driscoll in my camp."

"I ain't an O'driscoll, mister," the new prisoner said. "I hate that feller."

"Oh, whatever you say son."

Hiccup wondered if he was an O'driscoll or not, but he knew that it wasn't his business. So he allowed them to do their work.

"Well done Arthur,"he said to his senor gun.

"I'm just sorry we missed out on Colm,"Arthur replied.

"Oh, there's time enough for that," Dutch reassured. "Now, I gotta figure out if we can hit that train."

Before he could close the cabin door, he paused. Then he turned towards the young viking and his dragon.

"Mister Haddock,"he said. "Can I have a word with you and the dragon, alone?"

"Sure," Hiccup replied. "I've got time."

He and Toothless followed the gang leader into where he was staying at and shut the door behind them. There, Hiccup took a seat with Toothless laying beside him. Dutch came out of his room and too grabbed a seat. Here, they got down to business.

"Now, as you know,"Dutch started."You've stayed with us for the past couple of days. Am I correct?"

"Yes sir," Hiccup answered.

"Good," Dutch replied. "Now, I don't know how you did it, but from those past couple of days, I've been getting visits from my people. They talked how awfully entertaining you were with you storytelling and how nice and polite you both have been. You also put yourself in a good terms with Bill 's usually a fool. Lenny takes a bit of an interest with your dragon. And Javier thinks you have a lot of empathy toward him. Now I don't usually point out people towards their successes, but I must say that I am totally impressed with how you got along so easily with the others. Even little Jack and his mom came to me just this morning,asking if you could stay with us for a longer period of time. And I'll admit, to see you with that little boy, I never seen him so happy in my life."

Then got up from his chair and stood tall.

"You bring so much joy to these people. Even after everything that happened these last couple of months. You've shown much courage and bravery. Bravery that even an outlaw like myself can't master. So, Mr. Haddock, I must ask you."

He then extended his hand out to the young chief.

"Would you like to be part of our family?"

Hiccup had to really think on that one. If he did this, then he would leave his tribe behind forever. Yet, he also thought of the circumstances that lied ahead of him. He and Toothless saw what the Pinkertons were capable of. And knew for sure that he couldn't take the chance of flying out. And from what he's seen from these people, there was no doubt that they were being hunted too.

And he's only just met these folks. And after everything they did for him and Toothless, he couldn't just reject his shot a look at Toothless, who nodded back at him. Then he stood up from his chair, stood up to the same eye level as Dutch. Then, he extended his own arm.

"Yes," he said. "Me and my dragon are most honored to be part of this gang. As long as you're leader."

"You're both are most welcome," Dutch replied. "Tomorrow, I'll make it official."

"Okay,"said Hiccup. "But before you settle in, is it okay that I make a request?"

"Sure," Dutch answered. "Anything from the likes of you."

"Put you're right hand out. Just like this."

He showed him with his right hand how it's done. His arm was out with his fingers extended.

"And why would I want to do that?" Dutch asked.

"Trust me," Hiccup said. "It'll be all worth it in the end."

Dutch hesitated at first, but eventually did as the viking requested. He put his left hand out, extended his fingers into the air. Hiccup stood to the right side and left Toothless to face the gang leader.

"Let him come to you," Hiccup instructed.

From there, Toothless slowly moved towards Dutch's hand. He was calm and gentle about it. There were no sudden movements that surrounded them. And next thing he knew, Dutch felt the scales of the dragon's head touching the palm of his hand. They were rough and smooth. More like feeling the scales of a rattlesnake. He was extremely impressed with this. Even though he didn't know what it was for. But he was about to find out from the man watching this.

"This is a symbol of trust,"Hiccup explained. "One that will carry on until your final days. For now on, you have the respect and mobility of my dragon. We owe you a debt Mr. Van der Linde. For all that you have done with will now on guide you through your journey, and fly with you until the very end."

Dutch had never heard such words from a boy such as Hiccup. And to have the respect of a prehistoric reptile, means a brand new ally for him and his gang.

"Well," he said. "I am so honored to partake in such of an action. You have guts my boy. And the gang is in need of guts."

"Just give us the call. And we'll be the first to answer it."

"Good. Now please, get some shut eye. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Hiccup gave him a nod before heading outside of the cabin with Toothless following suit. Leaving an impressed to deal with some business of his own.


So, what do y'all think. Please click on the review box to give me the details. Alright, stay tuned for chapter 3.
