Welcome to the first book in my Dragons Fanfiction Universe or DFU, its kinda like the MCU, where all the stories are linked together and set in the same universe. How To Protect The Peace is sorta the setup fanfiction for ALL the other stories and is the first of many upcoming books. So, let's get into the story...
Hiccup groaned in frustration while sitting at his workbench, today has been the most stressful day of his life. First, Astrid insisted that they build a wall across the southern border of Dragons Edge. Then, the Twins used up all the Monstrous Nightmare gel so they could blow up Snotlout' hut. Then, Snotlout asked him to rebuild said hut. AND THEN, Fishlegs came to him with a bunch of problems that Meatlug has. The only person that hasn't annoyed him today is Toothless, who has been helping him ALL DAY, for which Hiccup is grateful.
Hiccup sighs loudly while looking down at his wooden workbench, he try's thinking of something to calm him down, and then he realizes that he and Toothless haven't flown ALL DAY. So he gets up with a smile and walks out of his hut to find Toothless laying next to the door. Toothless looks up and tilts his head curiously.
"Come on, bud. Let's go for a flight" Hiccup says and Toothless smiles his famous gummy smile before standing up. Hiccup then climbs onto Toothless' back and clicks his leg into the saddle rig, he opens the tail fin and Toothless bolts into the sky.
They fly high above the clouds, zipping and diving through the skies. They eventually settle down for hovering high above the sea, sometimes Toothless will dive into the water and snap up some fish. Hiccup pats Toothless' neck and looks at the horizon.
"Well, bud, this is pretty nice, huh?" Hiccup says and Toothless croons in agreement, Hiccup then takes in a deep breath and then lets it out slowly.
They continue gliding for a few minutes, undisturbed. But, suddenly, a bola comes out of nowhere and hits Toothless, knocking Hiccup off him. Hiccup then screams as they start falling back down to Earth. Toothless hits the deck of some ship first, and then Hiccup shortly follows. Hiccup stands up, coughing a few times and looking around for Toothless. He then spots the dragon but before he can go to him, a large hand wraps around his throat and lifts him off the ground, but not choking him. He then stares into the green eyes of his capturer.
"YOU belong to ME, now," The man says and Hiccup shakes his head.
"I...dont belong.,...to you" Hiccup states and the man laughs before slapping Hiccup, causing Hiccup to moan in pain.
"You belong to me, and I am Drago Bludvist. You will make me the perfect weapon, Hiccup" Drago says and smiles evilly, Hiccup looks at him shocked.
"How do you...know my name," Hiccup says and Drago throws Hiccup across the deck, Toothless roars in anger but someone puts a mussel on him. Drago walks towards Hiccup with a smirk.
"Oh, everyone knows Hiccup the great Inventor, who went into the Defenders of the Wing volcano and came back out alive and unharmed. Who made a fire sword and gliding gear. Who took down a Night Fury with his bola launcher. And now, your gonna make a weapon for me" Drago states and Hiccup coughs loudly, some blood spilling onto the deck.
"Never..." Hiccup manages to say with a moan and Drago smirk's evil.
"If you don't build me the weapon, then I will kill the Night Fury" Drago states and Hiccup ACTUALLY laughs.
"Go right ahead," Hiccup says with a tone so unlike him. Drago actually gets confused but decides to go along with it, so he grabs Toothless' head and starts squeezing the Night Fury' skull with unbearable pressure, Toothless starts moaning and screeching in pain. Hiccup only watches for several seconds before tears start coming out of his eyes.
"OK, STOP! I'll build your weapon" Hiccup gives in, he tried lying that he didn't care, but he couldn't watch Toothless being hurt. Drago walks over to Hiccup with a smirk.
"I knew that would get you under control, Hiccup Haddock," Drago says in victory and Hiccup coughs up some more blood, Hiccup looks up as Drago's fist meets his face, and he's knocked out.
HOW TO PROTECT THE PEACE
Hiccup wakes up with a deep breath, he opens his eyes and looks around the room to see that he's inside a stone cold cavern. But, there's a forge and bed nearby. Hiccup manages to push himself off the ground and then fully looks around. He then notices a cage sitting in the corner of the room, Hiccup immediately realizes what or WHO is inside the cage and walks towards the cage until he manages to collapse against the cage.
"Toothless..." Hiccup moans and Toothless opens his eyes, he croons and barely nuzzles Hiccup through the cage bars. Hiccup sighs and rubs Toothless' head.
"Oh Toothless, I'm so sorry," Hiccup says and Toothless moans, Hiccup then takes a good look around the room to see a bunch of crates in the corner.
Hiccup stands up and walks over to the crates, he then sees a note sitting on the crates. He picks the note up and reads it.
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, you will build a weapon to kill dragons, and you will use the supply's in these crates to build the weapon. If you need more supply's, just simply ask and we will deliver. You have two months to build the weapon, and if you don't, I will personally kill the Night Fury - signed, Drago Bludvist.
Hiccup lets out a loud sigh, he then grabs his prosthetic and uses it to break open a crate, which is filled with tools. He shifts through the crates, and eventually finds the two tools he needs, he then walks back to the cage and jams the tools into the lock. Toothless tilts his head, confused at Hiccup's actions.
"Well, Toothless. Mala taught me how to lockpick after we became ally's" Hiccup explains and then finishes unlocking the cage, he opens the cage door and Toothless leaps out, Toothless starts nuzzling and licking Hiccup in happiness. Hiccup manages to push Toothless away long enough for him to get up.
"Hey bud!" Hiccup says and scratch's Toothless behind the ears, causing the Night Fury to purr.
Hiccup then realizes that the door to leave is tinted green, which means its dragon-proof. Hiccup sighs and decides to take just a little selfish comfort, even if he's giving comfort back. A little while later, Toothless nuzzles the note and Hiccup sighs.
"Your asking if i'm going build the weapon for him? I don't know, I just...dont know" Hiccup says and Toothless snorts before nuzzling the note again, Hiccup looks at Toothless confused.
"What, what are you getting at?" Hiccup asks and Toothless nuzzles the note again, and Hiccup realizes that Toothless is nuzzling the runes specifically.
"The runes? What do you want me to do with the runes?" Hiccup says and Toothless then starts using his claws to draw, even though it all comes out as lines that don't actually make a shape.
"You want ME to teach YOU to write and read?" Hiccup asks and Toothless nods before nuzzling Hiccup again with a low purr. Hiccup lets out a loud sigh before grabbing a sharp metal object and etching some runes into the ground.
"Oh Thor, this is gonna be fun. Ok, this rune means..."
Hiccup sighs into the darkness, he's laying in his bed while thinking. It's been nearly a week since Toothless insisted that Hiccup teach him to write, and Toothless has already learned how to write all 36 runes, and read all 36 runes. Hiccup decides that he wants to have a conversation with Toothless, right now. Even though it's probably night, Hiccup doesn't really know, he just goes to bed when Toothless goes to bed.
Hiccup gets up and walks over to Toothless, he nudges the Night Fury, causing Toothless to wake up. Toothless croons, confused as to what Hiccup wants.
"Hey bud, I just...wanted to have a conversation" Hiccup says and Toothless nods, Hiccup sits down in front of Toothless and Toothless starts writing using his claws.
"Can you read this? I'm not sure that I am writing this right" Toothless writes and Hiccup smiles.
"Yeah, bud. I can read it, and you are writing it right" Hiccup states and Toothless smiles his famous gummy smile before writing.
"Good, that's good. Its nice to be able to talk to you"
"Yeah, me too. I'm surprised you learned Norse so fast"
"Well, it's practically the same as Dragonese"
"So, Dragons modeled their language of Norse?"
"NO! Humans modeled THEIR language of Dragonese"
"Ok, then. So, do you have any ideas on how to get out of here?"
"Actually, I have an idea. But, it'll require you to build something"
"Ok, take all the time you need to design it"
Hiccup finally finished checking the crates to see what he has access to, and now knows that he has Gronckle Iron at his disposal. And also a little Death Song amber. Hiccup then turns around to see Toothless finish drawing whatever he was drawing. Hiccup walks over and looks at the drawing before gasping, it's a highly detailed design for something.
"Ok Toothless, what is this" Hiccup asks and Toothless starts writing.
"It's a plasma oncotic weight equilibrium reaction reactor or P.O.W.E.R reactor, it generates electricity, a substance that I've always theorized could be created after I observed a Skrill in action. It requires a few things, Gronckle Iron, Death Song amber, copper, Skrill blood, and Skrill scales" Toothless writes and Hiccup looks at Toothless surprised with how intelligent Toothless is, he already knew his dragon was smart, but THIS smart? Nope, he didn't know.
"Skrill blood? Skrill scales? Why do you need that?" Hiccup asks curiously and confused.
"Skrill scales can hold and attract electricity, while Skrill blood has special properties so that when it's combined with Night Fury blood, it would endlessly generate electricity. You just need to get the stuff we need, and build it according to my designs"
"How will the P.O.W.E.R reactor help us escape?"
"The reactor will power something else, and that something else will help us escape"
"Alright, let's get to work"
Hiccup picks up a hot piece of Gronckle Iron with some tongs, and he starts bending it into the shape of a ring. Once he finishes, he dunks the metal ring into a bucket of cold water. Hiccup drops the metal ring onto the desk.
Hiccup then grabs most of the Death Song amber and melts the piece, he then uses some tongs to pick up a small metal cup containing the hot Death Song amber. Toothless watches carefully as Hiccup takes the Death Song amber over to the bench and pours it into a mold, the Death Song amber piece cools after a few minutes, and Hiccup sticks it onto the metal ring.
Hiccup then creates another ring, and Toothless welds the two rings together with the Death Song amber in the middle. They then use some copper and create six sorta pieces with copper wrapping around them. Hiccup then uses some Gronckle Iron to forge the main body of the reactor, and then Toothless welds the six copper 'rings' to the reactor bottom. Hiccup then turns to Toothless to find him writing something on the ground.
"Ok, now all we need is the Skrill scales and blood, and then we can finish the reactor" Toothless writes and Hiccup nods.
"I'll need to have a chat with someone" Hiccup says with a sigh.
Hiccup lets out a loud cough, dropping a Skrill scale and bottle of Skrill blood onto the table, Toothless looks at him confused.
"You don't want to know, bud. You REALLY don't want to know" Hiccup states and Toothless shrugs it off, they quickly get to work on putting the Skrill scale and blood into the reactor, it took them a whole day. But they finished the reactor by the time they were both yawning. Toothless and Hiccup smile while standing next to the bench, containing the glowing reactor.
"So, what do we do now?" Hiccup states and Toothless smiles before writing.
"The fun part!" Toothless writes before directing Hiccup over to another design that he drew hours ago, the design is for a armor for himself and Hiccup. The armor is powered by the P.O.W.E.R reactor, and the armor would allow them to escape. It has flamethrowers, a one-shot bola launcher, and a crossbow.
"This...is amazing! I guess we'll have to get to work" Hiccup says and Toothless nods
Hiccup finish to finish wiring up the gauntlets to his armor when someone knocks on the door furiously, Hiccup looks up only to see the door burst open and Drago Bludvist to enter the room with a smirk.
"Times up, Hiccup. Where's my weapon?" Drago states and Hiccup lets out a gasp before turning around.
"Oh, ok. Its right over...TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup yells and Toothless jumps out from the darkness and pounces on Drago, Drago screams in anger and Toothless roars, they roll over and over until they collapse into a pile of empty crates. Hiccup takes this precious time to start putting on his armor.
Hiccup quickly slots his legs and lower torso into the armor before attaching the upper piece of the armor, he then grabs his helmet and puts it on. He quickly slots the reactor into place in his armor and then walks towards where Toothless and Drago where, he then notices that Drago actually has Toothless pined and is screaming in the dragon's face.
"Hey Drago! GET OFF MY BEST FRIEND!" Hiccup yells and Drago looks up at Hiccup. Hiccup presses a button on his arm, causing the flamethrowers on his arms to activate, the flames quickly send Drago aflame. Drago gets up and runs out of the room, screaming in pain. Hiccup quickly grabs Toothless' armor from the corner of the room and approaches the Night Fury.
"Ok Toothless, got to get this armor on you quick" Hiccup says and quickly gets to work attaching the armor to Toothless, it takes him a minute but he finishes attaching it.
"Ok Hiccup, let's get out of here" Toothless writes on the stone ground, they quickly make their way out of the room and into a huge cavern which contains multiple dragons weapons, from bola launchers to dragon root arrows.
"Look at this, this must be their stockpile" Hiccup says and then smirks as a idea comes to mind, he quickly uses his flamethrowers to set everything on fire. The fire then spreads to a few barrels containing Zippleback gas and they explode, causing one third of the cavern to collapse.
"Ok, that was unexpected. Anyways, lets go!" Hiccup yells and Toothless nods. They quickly run out of the cavern and into a huge dragon hunter camp. Hiccup climbs onto Toothless and opens the tail fin, the quickly fly up into the sky and start torching the dragon hunter base.
Hiccup quickly fires a few arrows using his arm-mounted crossbow and then uses his flamethrowers to set a few buildings on fire. Toothless fires of all the plasma blasts he has and the entire dragon hunter base goes up.
"I'LL GET YOU, HICCUP HADDOCK!" Drago screams from somewhere in the base. Hiccup chuckles a little as they fly away.
Hiccup and Toothless continue flying towards Dragons Edge when suddenly Toothless' armor starts breaking apart.
"What the Thor?" Hiccup asks, curious and confused. Suddenly, the entire armor falls apart and they start falling towards the ground. Hiccup' armor also starts falling apart. They hit the ground with a loud bang and sand goes everywhere.
Hiccup shakes his head and manages to stand up, his armor is in pieces, along with Toothless' armor. He turns to Toothless, who has just gotten his head out of the sand.\
"What...just...happened" Hiccup says and Toothless starts writing.
"We didn't have the resources to improve our armor enough for it to last the full flight to Dragons Edge, and it fell apart about halfway there. But, the flight rig from my armor should be salvageable, I hope" Toothless writes and Hiccup lets out a loud sigh of annoyance.
"Great...just great" Hiccup says as he pulls off his helmet and starts taking off his damaged armor.
Yep, thats it for Chapter 1 of How To Protect The Peace. Chapter 2 will take a while, as I have to write it and then put it in Grammarly (The program I use for spell check). Also, im sorry for any spelling or grammar errors ahead of time, I didn't do my normal spell check, and I only put the chapter through a program before uploading. So, enjoy
