In the Great Hall Sparky grabbed some chicken and fish and sat down by Stormfly.
'Thanks Sparky,' Stormfly said tucking into the chicken.
'Hey Stormfly...' '...Who's your new friend?' two voices that were exactly the same and yet slightly different said.
They looked up and saw it was a Hidious Zippleback both heads wearing saddles on their necks.
'Oh right you didn't meet yesterday...' Stormfly said understanding. 'Sparky this is Barf...' she said pointing to the head on the right 'And Belch. They're the Twins' dragon.' she explained.
"Nice to meet you two..." Sparky said scratching both their chins at the same time.
'Hey you wanna do some funnies with us and our humans later?' Barf asked enjoying the feeling.
'What exactly will you be doing?' Toothless asked coming over with his fish and sitting down.
'Ruff and Tuff said something about pranking Snotlout...' Belch said explaining 'But don't worry their safe ones.'
"Thanks but leave me out if it" Sparky said as he finished his fish.
'Ok...' they said accepting the decline and went back over to their humans, needing to separate them from a slappy-fight over who's prank they should dish out first.
Suddenly someone threw an eel in Sparky's direction, making him jump back, his skin crackling as he tried to get away from it.
"SNOTLOUT!" Astrid screamed over a boy's laughter as she ran up, picked up the eel and threw it back to the pig-faced boy with the swirly horned helmet.
"Why in Thor's name did you do that?!" she asked loudly standing between the two of them.
He just smirked, and Sparky just walked out of the hall not giving them another glance.
Sparky left just in time to see the Twins and Barf & Belch get ready to take to the air, hearing them laughing made electricity shoot from his skin and hit the twins.
"AHHH!" they scream together falling off their dragon's heads.
"Whoa..." Tuffnut said coming to first looking around to see what did that and seeing Sparky.
"Did you throw that eel at me!?" Sparky asked in a yelling/roaring voice.
"What eel?" they said together getting back up Tuff fixing his helmet, Ruff tending her hair.
Their dragon flew off scared and going to get help.
"Let me jog you memory" Sparky said punching them so hard they slammed into a wall.
"What is wrong with you?!" they cried together
But he didn't hear them.
A red mist was over his eyes as Sparky started to beat the living daylight savings out of the twins.
He was about to deliver the final blow when something shoved him aside and tumbled with him until he was under them.
'Sparky get a hold of yourself!' he heard somedragon cry and the mist disappeared.
"Wha... What happened?" Sparky said, his mind starting to black out. Which after a couple more minutes it did.
*In Sparky's mind*
In his mind, Sparky watched as his dragon-side sliced his human-side open, its guts spilling out.
It was barely hanging on, stepping up, Sparky got in between them.
"Enough!" he yelled inside his mind.
Slowly Sparky's human-side turned into mist as his dragon-side took over completely, turning him into a Skrill.
*In Sparky's mind*
'Sparky...' he heard somedragon say worry in their voice.
'What...' he said waking up.
'Oh Sparky your awake thank Draco...' a blue and yellow Deadly Nadder said chirping and flapping her wings.
'Who...' he trailed off.
'What...' she asked confused 'Sparky it's me... Stormfly...' she said worry and small tears in her eyes.
Quickly memories came flooding back.
'Stormfly...what happened?' he asked scared as he turned his now dragon body to look at the twins.
They were lying on cots* both almost completely covered in bandages, both asleep. Barf&Belch laying in between them the correct head lying next to their human.
'Did I...' Sparky said looking over to Stormly, she nods.
Eyes widening, Sparky broke into tears and curled up in the corner he was in shutting out all of them, so no more would get hurt.
'They'll be alright...' Stormfly said gently 'Gothi tended to them... and their friends and parents say - even though it was a smidge rougher than normal... That's just basically a Thorsten Family Fight Day turn out.'
Sparky didn't respond. He just started sobbing - well the dragon equivalent of it.
'Hey... Sparky do you want to hear a sleepy-by song my dam* used to sing to me?' Stormfly asked quietly so not to wake the others up coming forward slightly.
Sparky nodded as he slowly stopped crying.
*'Don't worry, my baby
You have nothing to fear
I promise I'll protect you
And I will always be here -
- just for you'
As soon as she started Sparky began to calm down her voice calming his dragon side with each word.
'I love you my child
And hope you can see
That you can always -
- count on me'
And with each word she took a step closer until she was right next to him and sat down.
'You can trust in me
And I hope that I you
So that I will have
Nothing to fear too.'
Slowly Sparky fell back asleep snoring, his body slowly shifting back to its semi human state.
*In Sparky's mind*
His human-side was weak but it is coming back, and his dragon-side was strong but was weakening some how...
Sparky's human-side crawled into other circle and he passed out again.
*In Sparky's mind*
Sparky woke up to the feel of someone damping his forehead with a wet towel...
"Where... How..." he asked weakly.
"Hey guys'... He's awake," he heard someone call and looked to his hands, they were mostly Human again, just the odd scale here and there.
But his vision was rather foggy, he couldn't focus on anything beyond am arm's length away.
"Sparky..." he heard Astrid say next to him "You're with us right?"
"Astrid" he said slowly, scared that my voice will slip.
"Yeah, yeah I'm right here Sparky..." she said gently taking one of his hands.
"I was coming to get Stormfly for breakfast and saw you were back to normal and having nightmares..."
He squeezes her hand scared he'll fall back into that sleep.
Listening, Sparky heard someone else come into the room a light 'thud's' followed by 'squeak's' told you who it was.
"Stormfly" he said reaching out his arms smiling in slight relief.
Chirping with glee, the Nadder came forward and let him hug her.
"Nice to see you too Sparky," he heard Hiccup say "You ok?" he asked.
"I think so. I just can't see straight," he said looking in the direction Hiccup's voice came from.
"Your eyes are more dragon ones now..." Hiccup trails off.
"Oh..." Sparky said looking sad.
'On the slightly plus side,' Stormfly said kindly 'You don't have those wings or that tail anymore...'
"At least there's that," Sparky smiled and scratched her nose.
"Yeah... So... What made you do that anyway?" Hiccup asked referring to the fight with the twins.
"The eel..." Sparky trailed off shuddering at the word.
"But Snotlout threw the eel," Astrid said confused "Not that we'd like what you did to the twins done on him, but..." she said trailing off.
On hearing this news - the news that he hurt someone who didn't even do anything to him, Sparky started crying.
"Good job Astrid..." Hiccup whispered.
"Hey I didn't see you doing anything to stop me fish-boy..." Astrid hissed back while Stormfly was comforting Sparky.
He calmed down as Stormly let him stroke her head.
'Hey... hey you? You ok?' a new small voice asked and Sparky felt something small land on his head.
Sparky looked up, it was a terrible Terror.
'Why you crying?' she asked licking her eyes clean.
Slowly Sparky scratched her chin. "I don't want to talk about it" he said.
'Why not?' she asked placing one of her tiny paws on his face '*gasp* Did you kill somedragon or something?'
'Lemon he said he doesn't want to talk about it...'
Stormfly said sternly.
Sparky held the tiny Terror close to himself, petting her head.
"I hurt a human" he said quietly.
'And they used to hurt lots of us big deal...' Lemon said in a 'couldn't-care-less' voice.
Sparky held Lemon close like a stuffy.
'Choking... Not breathing...' she squeaked trying to squirm herself out of his hold, flapping her wings as hard as she could.
Slowly Sparky loosened his grip and fell back into a gentle sleep.
Calming down by the loosened grip, Lemon crawled out of his arms and circled around Sparky's head playing with his hair like a cat would, then she curled up and went to sleep too.
