Welcome to Berk. This is the second chapter and begins setting up the next arc. Also, if your wondering, Stoick is actually the villain in this story, not a villain like Viggo or Drago, but a villain in a way that he only wants and cares about money, and would do anything to save or get money. Also, Hiccup and Toothless are only going to be friends/best friends/brothers in this fanfic, so if you're looking for Toothcup, go SOMEWHERE ELSE! I will NEVER ship or allow Toothcup into anything i make. Period. No butts about it.
Chapter 2: Welcome To Berk
All Hiccup could see was darkness. All he could feel was darkness. Sometimes, he would hear stuff, but it would be muffled to the extreme when he did hear it.
Hiccup didn't know how long he had been in this 'place'. He couldn't think and couldn't tell the difference between anything. He didn't know what he is or what he was.
And then suddenly, he was standing on a black floor in the middle of a void. And that's when everything came back, Stoick, Gobber, Berk, Toothless. Everything that had happened to him that he could remember was back in his mind.
"Hello!" Hiccup yelled into the darkness, only to receive no answer. He then started panicking, where was Toothless? Where was reality itself? Where was he? Those where three questions he didn't have answers too and that was causing him to freak out.
"Is this death?" Hiccup asked the question that was most logical, he was in a void and couldn't move real far without hitting some sorta invisible wall. Like the ones that they have in video games, but he's not in a video game.
He starts struggling and pushing against the invisible walls that seem to get closer with every minute. He wasn't sure if it even was a minute, he had no way of telling time.
"No! N-NO!" Hiccup yelled as he was basically being crushed by the invisible walls, he was being crushed to a pulp when he remembered what he had said to Stoick before destroying the last. He knew Stoick would never stop at hurting one dragon, he would hurt them all.
He then thinks of Toothless, and what Stoick might do to him. That gives Hiccup the will to fight and with that, everything around him cracked and white light filled the void.
And then, Hiccup finally left the coma world.
Hiccup opened his eyes and jumped up in whatever bed he was in, he looked around and realized he was in a hospital. He caught sight of someone in the mirror and he stared at that person, and then he realized that that person was him! The only reason he could tell was that he had the same eyes, facial structure, and hair color. Otherwise, everything below the neck was different, he was taller and actually had a tiny bit of muscle.
"How long was i out for" Hiccup whispers under his breath and then takes the IV out of his arm and removes that finger thing that checks his pulse. He quickly moves over to a computer at the other end of the room and powers it up, he quickly hacks through the firewall and when he sees the date, his mouth hangs open.
"I was out...for 6 years," Hiccup says as he looks at the date, which says that its July 17th, 2018. Hiccup quickly notices that the computer's background has a picture of a logo, which seems to contain a Night Fury!
"Where are you Toothless," Hiccup says and then loads up a terminal on the computer, he searches for servers and finds a huge main one. He try's for a minute or two but finds that the main one has so many firewalls that not even an expert hacker could break through.
Hiccup then try's hacking into the smaller server, and he manages to break past the firewall. He then searches through the server and doesn't find much except a map and a list of paddocks and feeding times.
"Let's see. Paddock HKFG, feeding time at 3 PM. Paddock STFY, feeding time at 2 PM. Paddock RDDH, feeding time at 12 PM and 7 PM. Paddock THLS, no feeding time" Hiccup reads aloud and then thinks it over, and realizes something.
"THLS must stand for Toothless! That must be where their keeping Toothless, but why is their no feeding time? Whatever, i just need to find the paddock on the map and i can get to Toothless" Hiccup says and starts loading up the map when a password firewall comes up.
"Shit!" Hiccup yells and then two doctors walk in, the two doctors notice Hiccup Haddock is standing and awake.
"You're awake! Sir, i must recommend that you sit down" One doctor says and Hiccup was about to demand that they take him to Toothless, but he realizes that won't get him to Toothless, so Hiccup sits down.
"You have been in a coma for 6 years. You're on the island of Berk, which contains the biggest theme park in the world, Berk. They named the park after the island because they didn't care about the name of the park so long as it made money" Another doctor says and Hiccup nods, they grab Hiccup a green shirt and brown vest.
"These clothes were set aside for if you wake up, you should probably put them on before we take you for a look around the park," The first doctor says and Hiccup nods before walking into a changing room to change.
They lead Hiccup to a jeep that has the same logo from the computer painted on it. Hiccup climbs into the front passenger seat and waits for the two doctors to climb in and start the car.
They drive for a few minutes in complete silence, but then one of the doctors starts speaking.
"Hiccup, you've been offered a job in the park if you want. But you should wait to chose until you've seen the park, just in case you change your mind" One of the doctors says and Hiccup nods, after a few minutes they approach a gate that goes far high in height. The words "BERK" are engraved in a huge sign that hangs from the gate.
They pass through the gate and into the park, after a while they arrive at a huge white and gray building with doors that rival the main gate they just passed through.
"This is the Great Hall, sorta like the visitor's center of the park. All the visitors go here before seeing the attractions of the park" One doctor says and Hiccup finally decides to speak up.
"What kind of attractions?" Hiccup asks and one doctor smiles with a laugh.
"As if you don't know, after all, you made them. Anyway's, you probably don't know which ones are popular nowadays, theirs Hookfang the Monstrous Nightmare, and then their's Stormfly the Deadly Nadder. Those two alone make nearly a million dollars a month and have a loyal fanbase. But the most popular dragon goes to the Night Fury, the star attraction of the park, he's pretty popular with kids and adults, something the other dragons don't have" One of the doctors says and Hiccup feels like he just got what he needed to now.
"To-The Night Fury, what is he like? Is he healthy?" Hiccup asks and one of the doctors smiles.
"We'll the Night Fury is always cranky and lonely, and he only gets feed when he makes over 1 million in sales. He had been doing that for 3 years before they started genetically engineering a new dragon out of already existing DNA. So now the Night Fury rarely gets feed" One doctor says and Hiccup feels like screaming at everyone who runs this park, but he decides that he has to do something.
"Can we go see the Night Fury?" Hiccup asks and one of the doctors nods and drives them to the Night Fury paddock.
They finally pull to a stop right next to the Night Fury paddock, Hiccup climbs out and immediately goes over to the edge of the rail and looks through some reinforced glass at Toothless, who is laying down. Hiccup notices that Toothless seems near unhealthy and extremely skinny.
Hiccup then also notices a feed the dragon device where you insert money and get a fish to feed a dragon. Hiccup walks over to the device and then pulls his wallet out of his pocket, apparently it was one of the few things that survived the lab fire.
Hiccup inserts a dollar and gets a fish in return, he goes over to the edge and looks down at Toothless, both saddened and happy. Happy to see Toothless again and know he's alive, but sad that Toothless is stuck in this cage and underfeed.
"Hey, T-Toothless. It's me, Hiccup. You recognize me don't you?" Hiccup says and somehow the Night Fury hears him and wakes up, Toothless looks up at him and feels a bit of familiarity with this human? But where has he seen him before? Toothless can't remember, so he just growls.
Hiccup almost feels a piece of his heartbreak when Toothless doesn't recognize him, but he holds onto hope that maybe Toothless just can't remember because it has been six years and Toothless was a baby then and that maybe he could jog Toothless' memories. But he knows he can't do it in front of these doctors. So he throws the fish over the side of the railing and it falls into the paddock. Hiccup then walks back to the jeep and they drive off.
Toothless approaches the fish and smells it, he somewhat recognizes the sent of the human on it. But he just can't place it. He eats the fish and then lays down, and has a dream or rather a memory of when he was very little, he remembers bitting a human's finger, but which human?
If only he could just remember.
"So Hiccup, you've seen the entire park. If you want the job, you can have it. Its a position as a computer programmer for the park. What do you say?" The one doctor says and Hiccup thinks for a moment, if he becomes a computer programmer for the park, he could stay close to Toothless!
"Yes, I'll take the job," Hiccup says and the two doctors smile.
"Great! We'll inform our superiors of your choice! Just go down the hall and to the left, that will take you to the server room, that's where all the computer stuff happens. Your bedroom is down the hall to the right, the room with the number 18 on it, good luck mister Haddock. And welcome to Berk" One of the doctors say and they walk off. Hiccup then walks to his bedroom, while the full truth that his own flesh and blood father betrayed him for money, Hiccup feels so betrayed and hurt that he try's his best not to think of his father.
He eventually finds his room and goes inside, he finds a desk and a computer in the corner along with a bed. He opens the computer and customizes it a bit, he then grabs the computer and walks to the computer room, determined to shut down the locks on Toothless' cage, its not a paddock, a paddock has lots of space to roam and do things. Toothless' 'paddock' has very little space.
He eventually makes it to the computer room and he finds the master server port and he plugs his computer into it, he starts trying to access the cage locks on Toothless' cage but he can't disable them without a passcode which he doesn't have. Hiccup then realizes that he'll need to code a program to hack pass the code and disengage the locks on Toothless' cage. But he needs time to code it, so he should get used to the job.
He decides that he has to make Toothless remember, because he misses when Toothless would snuggle up against his chest or when he would want to play with him. He missed those days, even though he had only known Toothless for maybe 3 months, he feels a special connection to the dragon that he just can't explain. A special connection that he welcomes, and whenever Toothless is around him he has a warm feeling in his chest of being cared for and that nothing bad will ever happen.
Well, that's a wrap on Chapter 2. And if your wondering about the special connection Hiccup has with Toothless, lets just say Toothless has it too. And its kinda like the connection Blue and Owen have in Jurassic World and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, but they're also gonna be best friends...eventually.
