Sorry about the late update, but here we are for the next chapter. Italics are thoughts.

Disclaimer: I do not own How To Train Your Dragon.

Hiccup shot only two times before slowly putting the gun back into the holster. Rún continued to smirk in the aftermath of his flashback, comparing the similarities.

"Okay, that's enough of that for today, we'll continue each day for a few years, you have high potential, it shouldn't take long for you to become just as skillful as me." Rún spoke, extending his arm towards Hiccup to shake his hand. "Just go home, don't do something you will regret, and low low as Hiccup the "Useless". It's best not to attract to much attention yet, once you are ready, then you may try to take on dragons, but not yet." Hiccup nodded, and handed his weapons back to Rún, then began to walk out of the cove. But he stopped walking for a second.

"Uh, thanks a lot Rún, you're not like the others…" Hiccup said softly. Rún smiled, and waved goodbye.

"See you next time."

The training continued for two years, moving from knives and guns, to swords and shields, and axes and maces. They moved on to different aspects of combat besides brute force, such as agility, defense, endurance, mental capability, tactical strategy and teamwork.

I'm a bit lazy so I will just add what happened in the training over time in flashbacks throughout the story.

"I'm very impressed Hiccup, you've improved a lot over these years, I'm thinking next dragon raid will give the dragons a run for their money." Rún stated, looking at Hiccup, visibly surprised at the changes in his physical appearance, Hiccup didn't become like Snotlout, but he sure grew enough muscle to brag about.

"So, this is the end of my training? What happens now, do I just stop coming here? What about my questions?" Hiccup asked. But of course, he keeps questioning everything.

"I haven't forgotten, just wait for our dragon to get us, I won't tell you what dragon it is, it's a surprise. Just don't kill, please don't, take it as practice, very dangerous, fiery, life threatening practice."

"I think dangerous and life threatening are the same thing."

"Just go, see you after the next raid." I hope he doesn't attack the wrong one…

"Hiccup! Get back inside now!" Several Vikings shouted. Hiccup rolled his eyes, and continued his walk to the forge, ignoring the roars of dragons and burning temperatures.

"Ah there you are, I figured you were already taken by now." Gobber said. "Get to work now."

"You know, I was actually thinking, why can't I go out and you know, fight dragons?"

"Hiccup, you can't even lift an axe, why would y-" Gobber was interrupted by Hiccup lifting up several axe, swords, and maces, in one hand, above his head. Gobber stared. "Well that doesn't mean you know how to use it."

"Trust me, I know how to use it, I'll bring a fresh dragon head hear tomorrow, just watch me."

"Watch you die, I don't think so, you die, I die by the hands of your father."

"Yeah, sure." Hiccup scoffed. "I'm going out there, you'll see." Hiccup ran out, but grabbed the equipment Rún had gave him, the strap holding guns and knives, also grabbing two swords for his main attack. Then he saw it, Astrid. The jewel of Berk, to him anyway. Not the best time to be struck silly by a pretty girl, especially when that pretty girl was about to be snuck up on by a nadder. Hiccup ran towards Astrid, and pushed her out of the way of the Nadder's Spine shot.

"Hiccup! What are you-" Astrid began, but then saw the Nadder behind her, along with Hiccup wielding his duel swords, ready to strike. The nadder opened its mouth to shoot a fire blast, but Hiccup had other plans, he sliced a line up its neck to the bottom of its jaw, not killing it, but harming it enough to stop its blast. He used the butt of both his swords to smash its head and disorientate it, making it try to fly away. "Hiccup, thank you…"

He looked at Astrid, opening his mouth to speak but before he could.

"NIGHT FURY!" A Viking screamed. Hiccup had a frown on his face, looks like no one can say a sentence with being interrupted. Hiccup looked back at Astrid, then turned to run back to the Forge, Gobber wasn't there, so he assumed he went out to fight. Hiccup found his bola launcher, and brought it to the top of a hill, trying to find the Night Fury, waiting for its call. He then saw it, going the direction of the cove, he shot at it. Bullseye, he smirked.
