Chapter

I want to say thank you to everyone who has viewed my story. Enjoy this next chapter.

"Dragons," I say weakly. Hiccup doesn't respond, he opens the door again and rushes outside. I follow him, ducking under some Vikings carrying a wooden beam, only to see Hiccup getting knocked down and a large Viking shouted at him before saying "Mornin," and rushing off to who knows where. I catch up with Hiccup "Where…are we… going?" I ask.

"The forge, the Vikings need to have their weapons repaired after some fights." He said, then a dragon swooped down, spraying the ground with fire right in front of us and a large man grabbed Hiccup before he went into the blast.
"Hiccup, what is he doing out again?" he asked before turning to Hiccup and saying "What are you doing out again, get inside." Then he shoved him to the forge.

I look at Hiccup dash over to the forge and he says "That's Stoick the Vast, Chief of the tribe. They say when he was a baby; he popped a dragon's head clean off its shoulders." I look at him with disbelief; he pointed at the man and said "Do I believe it?" Just then Stoick picked up a cart and threw it at a dragon probably fifteen in the air. "Why yes, yes I do." (A/N: Lol, Phineas and Ferb) Then we raced into the forge, Hiccup takes of his vest as we entered, Gobber was working with some tongs and trying to straighten a blade.

"Nice of you to join the party, for a moment I thought you 'ad been carried off," Gobber says. Hiccup puts on his apron and I grab what appears to be a tool that attaches to the old Vikings arm.

"What me, no I'm way to muscular for their tastes, they wouldn't know what to do with all this," he says, flexing an arm.

"Well they need toothpicks don't they?" he responded, twisting the tong arm and replacing it with a hammer. "Ohhhhhh, how about some ice for that burn Hiccup," I smile at the thought before placing a four sided mace with spikes on all sides on a rack by a workbench. Gobber swings open the window and Vikings placed all their broken weapons on the table.

Hiccup grabs some weapons and begins to heat them up, only for Gobber to snatch them up and begin to straighten them out. I take some weapons Gobber had finished and place them at the window, only to see a similar dragon to the one who attacked the house, spray fire all over the village. "Old village, lots and lots of new buildings," I thought. Outside I hear someone shout "FIRE" and the teens from earlier come rushing past, Hiccup dashes to the window and started staring out at the crew, curious, I nudge Gobber and point at the teens.

"Oh, that's Fishlegs," he points at the large buff teen.

"Snotlout," he points at the black, straw haired kid,

"The twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut," he points at the boy when he says 'Tuffnut.'

"…and that's," then he points at a blond haired girl who just as she throws a bucket of water and turns as a fireball blasts behind her. She just flips her hair and begins to walk away, "Astrid," Gobber says before returning to his work. I notice Hiccup staring at Astrid with a dreamy look on his face; it wasn't hard to see that this kid was lovestruck. Gobber notices to and he grabs Hiccup with his hook, threading its way through his workers apron.

"Gobber please let me out there; I need to make my mark."

"Oh, you make plenty of marks… all in the wrong places," he says.

"Please, I kill a dragon and my life gets instantly better, I might even get a date," Hiccup argues.
"You can't lift a hammer, you can't swing an axe, you can't even throw one of these," Gobber picks up the bolas I used on Ruffnut and Tuffnut, then a Viking snatches that from him and throws it at a bulbous dragon.

"Yeah I know b-but this will throw it for me," Hiccup says patting the bolas launcher. Apparently he forgot what happened when I touched it and a bolas shot out and whacked a Viking in the head. With a shout he fell down, Gobber turned to Hiccup after viewing what happened looking frustrated.

"See here, this is what I'm talkin' about."

"Mild calibration-" Hiccup began.

"Don't you…Hiccup, if you want to get out there and fight dragons you need to stop all…"

Gobber gestures everywhere on Hiccup's body before saying "…this."

"W-What but you just gestured to all of me?" Hiccup says confused.

"Right, that's it, stop being 'all of you'," Gobber exclaims.

"Ohhhhhh," Hiccup got a look on his face.

"Ohhhh yes,"

"You sir are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much…raw…Vikingness…contained, THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!" Hiccup raises his hand to make the thing seem serious.

"I'll take my chances. Sword. Sharpen. Now." Gobber says nonchalantly, thrusting a sword into Hiccups hand. He grumbles a bit before turning to a spinning grindstone, I continue to pass out weapons until I hear Hiccup muttering to himself.

"One day, one day I'll get out there. Because killing a dragon means everything around here." I pretend to be fixing a blade but I listen in.

"A Nadder will at least get me noticed, but a Gronckle would definitely get me a girlfriend, those things are as tough as nails. A Zippleback, two heads, twice the status, then there's the Monstrous Nightmare, but only the best go after them, since they have a nasty habit of setting themselves on fire." I could hear the importance in Hiccups voice; it was like a coming of age thing. Hiccup must very well be an outcast if he is muttering like this; he really needs to kill a dragon.

"But the ultimate prize is the dragon no one has ever seen," he stops and looks up. A sharp whistling sound was coming from outside followed by a loud KABOOOOM, Hiccup and I dart to the window and I hear the sound again. A tower with a catapult was destroyed in a flash of purple; I'm guessing that was the last dragon Hiccup was talking about. Then Gobber attaches an axe to his arm and says "Man the fort Hiccup, they need me out there." Then as he exits he suddenly turns and says "Stay…put…there," Hiccup has an innocent look on his face and I already knew what was going to happen. Gobber turns to me and says "Stormleg, make sure he stays there," before giving a Viking battle cry and running off. Hiccup then proceeded to go get his bolas launcher, but I bent down and scooped us some dirt. Just as Hiccup was about to leave, I stop him.

"Look I have to do this-" he began, but I held out my hand to stop him from talking.

"I know," I bend down and pour some dirt into Hiccups boots. Hiccup looked at me curiously, "Dirt from forge… you haven't left…but I'm coming too," I explain quickly. Hiccup understands and we rush out of the forge, Hiccup drops his apron and puts on that brown fur vest. People exclaim we left, dashing left and right through the Vikings, I followed Hiccup to an old catapult tower. He quickly opened the thing and it resembled two bows attached together, he was muttering "Give me something to shoot," repeatedly. I looked frantically at the sky and saw the shape of a dragon; I nudged Hiccup and pointed at the outline. He got a grin and aimed through the sight, then the tower was destroyed like before and the dragon flew past. Hiccup launched the bolas, the recoil knocking him down; I watched the bolas until it was out of sight. Then a screech sounded and the dragon fell into the forest, Hiccup looks stunned.

"I… I hit it. YES I HIT IT," he cheered. I was clapping for him; he faces me and says "DID ANYONE SEE THAT?"

Just then, a large claw smashes the bolas launcher and my smile slides off my face and is replaced with horror. Hiccup turns and see's the dragon, "…Except you," he says before sprinting away with me close at his heels. We dashed around the village, Hiccup let out a very girly scream but I just kept running, occasionally dodging the dragon's magma breath. I'm serious when I say that, his fire looked like lava, it slid and stuck to the ground, walls, anything it came in contact with. Hiccup dodged a fire stream and when I saw it gearing up again for another blast I pulled Hiccup behind a pole that a large torch was connected to just as the dragon let out its flame. It came quickly, splashing all around the pole; Hiccup dared a peek around the corner. I looked the other way and saw the large dragon as it opened its mouth and I saw the buildup of flame. I grabbed Hiccup and pulled him down, just as a flash of red tackled the dragon, it was Stoic and the dragon blasted fire, but it was weaker and then it spit out a tiny piece of lava. It got a look on its face that read "Oh no", Stoic lashed out with a punch and a kick at the monsters jaw and it took off. Well that seemed to conclude all I needed to know about Berk, except one problem. When the dragon shot its magma breath it weakened the pole holding the torch and it toppled down, rolling down the hill. Hiccups face winced each time a Viking cried out and said "Sorry, dad."

Dad? DAD!? Hiccups dad was the chief of the tribe, you can't tell that they're even related. I keep watching the torch and it frees some dragons and they fly away, clutching nets filled with sheep. I smack the palm of my hand against my forehead as Hiccup says "…Okay, but I shot down a Night Fury."

*Well, now seems like a good place to wrap up. Next chapter will be Hiccup in the forest, but Calder comes in at a certain point, find out yourselves. Thank you everyone, have a good day,peace and God bless.
