How to Crash a Party

Everyone stared in confusion worry as the mushroom cloud of the explosion could be seen from the square as it rose higher and higher. No one spoke or made a movement. Just stare and asked silent questions. What is going on? Who's responsible? Why is this happening?

Another explosion sounded, this time bigger than the last one, and mysterious figures suddenly appeared on the roofs of houses, wearing strange black suits with buttons and wires, and a black masks with red glowing eye holes concealed their faces.

From the ground Hiccup could see that one of them was different to the others. One of them was slightly shorter than the rest, but he seemed to be the leader of the group. The person had a metal chest plate with a symbol on it and metal arm guards. The symbol was too far away to see for him but he could just make an outline of it and could see it had wings. 'Maybe some sort of bat?' he thought.

All of a sudden, the figures disappeared. They had vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye. Confused, the citizens turned their heads in different directions in search of the strange men. Stoick, look around and activated his X-ray vision, fists up and fingers curled inwards; ready to punch someone. He turned his head to the left and saw a walking skeleton creeping up behind Hiccup!

"Hiccup, watch out!"

His son looked at him questioningly , before he was suddenly grabbed from behind and thrown into a nearby brick wall. Astrid, who was the closest to him, had her leg pulled out from under her and fell onto the ground. Soon everyone was attacked by invisible forces; some were tripped, punched, kicked and pushed to the ground. The dragons had nets with weights dropped over them, rendering them useless to fight. Stoick, with his X-ray vision, was the only one able to them and fight back with much greater force.

Hiccup groaned and placed and hand to the right of his forehead where it meet the concrete of the wall. He pulled the hand away and saw that there was blood coming form the gash. He looked up and saw Astrid struggling to fight with an invisible soldier. Hiccup groaned in frustration and annoyance at Astrid's stupidity.

"Astrid!" he called.

Said girl turned to face him.

"You can turn invisible too! And when you do, you should be able to see them!"

Astrid nodded and turned invisible. Pretty soon there were three guys in black suits lying unconscious on the ground. Hiccup analyzed their suits in his head, taking in the features and technology of the design. He noticed a medium sized, green button on the chest piece of the suit. Hiccup didn't get enough time to continue examining the suit, as he was suddenly picked up by one of the invisible soldiers and slung over a shoulder.

Hiccup struggled in the grip of the soldier by twisting his body different ways, kicking his legs and hitting the invisible persons back. The soldier ignored his escape attempts and turned around to addressed the other soldiers who were not defeated by Stoick or Astrid.

"We have the boy! Let's not waste time by finishing them off." the man announced. Hiccup made a mental note that the man spoke in a slight foreign accent.

The man made himself visible and was followed by the rest of the attackers. Everyone looked up in alarm as the intruders all retreated with Hiccup in their grasp.

"Hiccup!" they called out in panic.

Hiccup continued to struggle in the mans grip. "Let me go!" And slapped the mans back with a hard force that made the man tumble to the ground and somehow fall fall asleep. Astrid watched this happen and was confused as to why the man fell unconscious, and could've sworn she saw green mystic flames swirl around Hiccup's hand. Hiccup got up and was about to run back to his dad and friends, but was surrounded by the rest of the soldiers at all sides and angles.

Stoick ran to his son, however he stopped when all the men pounced at the same time to Hiccup who crouched down and held his hands to both side of his head and made a face of intense concentration with his eyes clamped shut. Time seemed to freeze as Hiccup opened his eyes to reveal them glowing an angelic white, burning with fury. He shot up standing with his arms out wide. A strong force of white energy emitted from him and exploded outwards, creating a shock wave and a dome of the same white energy that served as a barrier, and collided into the soldiers. Some fell onto the ground and some were pushed so hard from the shock wave that it threw them about ten metres away.

The dome of energy dispersed into small particles of light, like fireflies in the night, that soon faded away. Hiccup's eyes turned back to their usually appearance of bright green iris'. His eyes closed and he fell onto his knees then collapsed to his side on the ground.

Stoick couldn't believe what he just witnessed. His son, who had no powers since the day he was born, had just taken out over twenty enemies by an energy blast he created. Had Hiccup finally got his powers? And if so, what were they? He hadn't seen anyone with energy powers before.

He ran over to his son and knelt down beside him, lifting Hiccup's upper body to rest on his thighs. Toothless broke free of the net that was thrown over him and rushed over with Gobber and Astrid to Hiccup and Stoick. Astrid sat down next to Stoick and took one of Hiccup's hands and clutched it tightly while the Night Fury stood close to Hiccup's head, nudging him lightly, hoping he would wake up.

Stoick told everyone to go home and to take the intruders to the prison cells until they were ready for questioning and to set the remaining dragons free from the netting's. Stoick, Gobber, Toothless and the Dragon Riders took Hiccup home. Stoick laid Hiccup down on his old bed and cleaned and wrapped the head injury Hiccup acquired before going downstairs where the others were waiting, leaving Toothless lying beside that bed with his rider. The Mayor turned to Gobber who was looking down at the floorboards in nervousness, like he was trying to figure out how to break some news gently.

"Gobber. Do you know what just happened?" Stoick questioned.

"Yes i do, Stoick" the welder answered.

"Care to explain?"

"Alright. You might want to sit down." he stated.

Stoick sat down in his large brown leather chair, while Gobber took a single couch and the riders sat on the long big couch that stretch from one side of the room to the other. Gobber began to explain.

"As you just saw, Hiccup has developed his powers. He got them a year after we left for the island. But, they're not the kind of powers you would usually get. No, his powers are rare."

"But, he has all three of his powers, right?" Astrid asked.

"Yes and no" Gobber answered uncertainly.

"What do you mean 'yes and no'?" Fishlegs joined.

"Well...Hiccup does have his three powers-"

"That's good" Stoick sighed in relief, interrupting Gobber.

"However, as far we were counting, he has seven."

"WHAT!?" everyone yelled at once.

"Hiccup has seven powers? That's impossible!" Snotlout exclaimed.

"Hiccup's living proof that it is possible Snotlout." Astrid stated. "What powers does he have?"

Gobber listed the powers by counting them one his one hand. "He's got Telekinesis, Telepathy, Animal communication, Flight, Energy blasts, night vision and, Life and death manipulation."

Everyone sat in silence and shock as they absorbed the information Gobber revealed to them. These powers were incredibly rare, even animal communication was a bit a of a rarity. But what shocked them the most was that Hiccup had seven powers; all unique beings (A/N: I probably forgot to mention that they call themselves unique beings because of their powers) had three, and that was the absolute limit. Now Hiccup had seven and with the powers he possessed, he could've defeated everyone one Berk if he wanted to. Especially with Telekinesis.

Stoick thought back to his wife. She had been born with the power of animal communication and often used it to talk with the dragons when they raided and tried convincing everyone that the dragons weren't what they seemed. But alas, they didn't listen even if she could understand the creatures, they were all sure that dragons were just mindless beasts. If Valka were here now, she would be living the dream she always had when she slept, and she would be very proud of her son, who could do what she could not.

After at least fifteen minutes of silence, Astrid decided to break it. "Was this the 'things that happened' Hiccup was talking about in his letter?"

"Yes." Gobber answered. "Hiccup gained his power of flight recently. He's still getting used to it."

Astrid nodded in understanding.

"Hiccup mentioned something about 'new arrivals'. What did he mean by that?" Fishlegs asked.

"He meant new dragons"

"We were right!"Fishlegs exclaimed to Astrid in excitement.

A groan of pain emitted from upstairs and everyone turned their heads towards the staircase, where they heard footsteps before Hiccup appeared clutching his right temple in pain with Toothless coming down behind him. He looked up and saw his father, Gobber and the riders looking at him. He smiled.

"Hey guys." he greeted.

"Sit down Hiccup. Don't strain yourself too hard." Stoick stood up and offered his chair to his son.

Hiccup nodded in gratitude and sat down. "I suppose Gobber's told all of you about me having powers?"

Everyone nodded as an answer.

"It was surprising for me as well. Never expected it to happen."

"Hiccup." Astrid started "did you knock out that man? The man that grabbed you? Because i thought i saw a green glow coming from your hand."

"Yes, it was me. And what you saw was this." Hiccup lifted his right hand up and soon his hand was engulfed in right green flames and gold sparks that swayed and swirled like grass in the wind. "It's one of my energy blasts." he explained. "Each colour has a different effect. Green is to sleep." The green flame turned to a royal blue with silver shinings. "Blue is to freeze. Yellow is injure. Red is to kill. White is for healing, and black is to destroy." He finished off the demonstrations off with the black flames that spitted acid green sparks and looked like death. Toothless growled at the black flames and glared at it as if it were something that would try to take his Hiccup away.

He extinguished the flames and turned to see everyone amazed by his new powers.

"Hey, what about that shock wave thing you did earlier. What was that?" Tuffnut asked.

"Oh that. That was something i call a mind blast. It's one of the abilities of my telekinesis. Drains my energy quite a bit. That's why i fainted, and the gash on my head didn't help." Hiccup yawned tiredly.

"Ok that's enough for today." Stoick stated. "Gobber why don't you head home and spend some time in your shop, i'll come over later to help clean up. The rest of you go home or go ride your dragons. I'll take Hiccup back to bed." Astrid and the other left the house with a quick goodbye, followed by Gobber who was excited to see his shop again for the first time in years.

Stoick guided his son back up the stairs along with Toothless. Hiccup removed the black leather cloak, metal plating's, leather boots and dragon scale vest before nestling under the thick blankets of his bed and placing his head on big, soft pillow and sighed with comfort. Toothless laid back down on the floor beside of the bed, purring all the way before the purring turned to light snoring. The Mayor brushed some stray strands of hair away from Hiccup's face and smiled as his son drifted off to sleep.

"Welcome home, son"

Stoick turned to the door and walked out closing it behind him.
