Razorre stood dumbfounded while the twins and Snotlout opened and closed their mouths like fish. The scattered remains of the eggs were littered on the ground and judging by the horrid stench that had rapidly filled the air since the would-be pranksters had hurled them were really, really bad eggs.

Tuffnut was the first to unfreeze, much to everyone's surprise. Or not since Ruffnut and Snotlout were still in shock.

"Where did you learn to do that?! And more importantly, where can I learn it?

Razorre just looked down at his arms, still in almost as much shock as everyone else. Snotlout was the second person to unfreeze. Tuffnut busied himself by slapping Ruffnut in the face, half in effort to snap her out of it and half because it was fun.

"Okay, there must be some sort of trick right? There's no way anyone can move like that, much less you! I know you're fast-ish, but not that fast!"

Razorre suddenly snapped back into reality.

"I need to talk to Gothi. Like... right now!"

Razorre immediately turned around and booked it back towards the village with Snotlout and the twins, since Ruffnut had by this point returned to reality and punched Tuffnut in the face, in hot pursuit. Once he reached the stairs to Gothi's hut he began to run up them two at a time. Once he reached the top he stopped for a quick breather then began speaking to Gothi. By this point Snotlout and the twins had caught up and were completely exhausted. Gothi was in the middle of measuring the length of his eyelashes when they finally had recovered enough to speak.

"Why... (huff)... did you...(huff)... come to Gothi?"

Gothi was now painfully tugging on his earlobe.

"To find out what the heck is going on with me. Gothi, is this really nessesary?"

Gothi proceeded to whack him with her staff and then walked over to her sandpit and drew a stick figure, a cloud, a lightning bolt, then a more 'muscled' stick figure.

"So, you're saying that when the Skrill zapped me, it made me able to stuff like this?"

He turned to the twins and handed each of them a rock and told them to throw them past his head. Naturally, they opted to throw them at his head instead but to their surprise his hands shot up and caught both rocks within a few inches of his face. Gothi looked impressed and nodded.

"Thanks for the help Gothi. You know, this actually might help in the arena."

Razorre turned and walked past the twins and Snotlout who had entered a new state of shock from Razorre's amazing catch. By the time Razorre had reached the first quarter of the walk down, Gothi had clubbed all of them enough to give them all viking grade headaches. Once Razorre got down to the village he jogged to the smithy and was chatting with Gobber.

"So in a nutshell, the lightning bolt supercharged my reflexes and reaction time. If someone were to throw a knife at me, I might actually be able to catch it! I wonder how I could apply this in the kill ring..."

Gobber had a pleased grin on his face.

"At least ya won't be completely hopeless. You know, this reminds me of when Bucket had his head clubbed by a dragon. He may be a bit... loopy now, but he also became one ace of an artist."

Razorre nodded thoughtfully. He nodded to Gobber and waved goodbye as he walked back into the forest to train some more.

It was time for Nadder training. Gobber had erected a good sized maze that the trainees were running through while the Nadder was busy running around both in and on top of the maze while Gobber watched from outside, calling out instructions, advice, and criticism. The latest of said criticism was directed at Hiccup for asking to many questions on Night Furies instead of focusing on survival. Razorre darted through the maze quickly, using his newfound abilities to change directions on a yak pie. He paused for a moment and listened for the Nadder's squacking. He could hear something two passages down from him by his estimate. He quickly raised his shield and began to hug the wall. Then he heard the clicking noise of a Nadder's spines raising into attack mode. The air was suddenly filled with the sound of sharp, whistling projectiles while Fishlegs began shouting about Gobber's teaching methods. He spun his sword in his hands to loosen up his cramped hands. Gobber started calling out to look for the Nadder's blind spot. Razorre rolled his eyes at the fact that nobody else but him and Astrid were using that knowledge already. Then the twins started shouting at eachother which was immediately followed by Nadder breath. Razorre winced but kept moving. Meanwhile, Hiccup, Astrid and Snotlout were busy trying to get past the Nadder before it could spot them. In true Hiccup fashion, he was spotted and immediately began to book it for cover while the dragon charged him down and began to topple the maze when it collided with a wall. Astrid began to run around on top of the maze while the overgrown scale covered pigeon chased her down.

"Oi!"

Razorre sheathed his sword and grabbed a decent sized rock, proceding to throw it as hard as he could at the Nadder's flank. That got it's attention. It charged him down as he turned and bolted for the far wall. Then he got blasted upward when the Nadder unleashed a stream of fire at him. His arm got tangled in the chains that made up the roof of the kill ring, leaving him wide open. The dragon prowled closer and closer, it's eyes fixed on him. It fired another burst of fire breath at him, melting the chain in such a way that he was freed, although he still had a sizable length of chain wrapped around his arm. By this point, Astrid had gotten it's attention again and it sent her flying right into Hiccup, as well as lodging her axe in his shield. She immediately began yanking frantically on it to free the weapon as the dragon bared down on them. Just as it was about to strike, something slowed it down suddenly. Astrid used this opportunity to smash the shield against the Nadder's head, revealing that Razorre had snapped the chain around the spine frill on the Nadder's head to slow it down. He exhaled in relief that they were both unharmed, but it didn't last. Astrid immediately rounded on Hiccup and began shouting. Razorre just shook his head and walked out of the arena, stopping to examine the chain still wrapped around his arm.

"This might actually be useful"

Razorre jogged down to the workshop and began drawing up a design while he waited for Gobber. Once Gobber returned, he immediately got up and struck up a conversation.

"So, how do you make chains?"

Gobber seemed a little bit shocked at the question, but began instructing him all the same. Razorre began hammering away, making each link individually before connecting them all into a small length of chain. He stowed it away before heading up to the fire pit for dinner. Hiccup just nodded. He grabbed a chicken leg and seated himself down at a table seperate from the others. Gobber was giving them all some pointers on fighting Nadders for the next time. Razorre didn't even pretend to be listening. He had read the whole dragon manual three times when he was recovering from the Skrill attack. He knew the book from back to front, though not nearly as good a Fishlegs. Speaking of the Skrill though...

"Gobber, are we going to learn how to fight the Skrill?"

All the teens suddenly looked up at Razorre, then at Gobber. Gobber's eyes widened slightly and flicked from one person to the next. After some awkward silence, Gobber made up his mind.

"(Ahem) I don't think we will. That beast is much too dangerous for you to be learning to fight now. Most fully grown vikings think twice about attacking a Skrill."

Razorre shrugged and finished his chicken leg before getting up and heading back to the forge. Gobber had started talking about how he lost his arm and leg because of Monstrous Nightmares. He made more chain links and added them to his project before heading up to his room for the night. Hiccup was using the forge anyway.

Hiccup was trying to make sense of everything that had happened since the kill ring. He had gone back to the cove with a fish and shield where he encountered the Night Fury again. After a few scares and eating some really disgusting regurgitated fish, the dragon was acting unnervingly calm around him and he had discovered that the dragon could retract his teeth into his gums. After he spent some time drawing in the sand, the Night Fury wandered over and watched for a few seconds before ripping a branch off a tree and drawing as well! After some more observations and interactions, Hiccup rushed back to the village for dinner. Razorre left early so he just listened to Gobber flapping his gums about his arm and leg. Then Gobber mentioned something very interesting.

Dragons whose tail is damaged can't fly. Hiccup immediately rushed down to the forge just as Razorre was finishing up for the night on a project of his before heading up to his room. The next while was a blur as he worked late on his latest project. Finally it was finished. Hiccup wandered back to his house and collapsed on his bed, completely exhausted.

The next morning, Hiccup got up early and grabbed the tailfin he had made that night and a basket of fish. He was about halfway there when Razorre popped up out of no where.

"Hey, where ya going?"

Hiccup froze and began trying to come up with a good alibi. He never got the chance.

"I know that look. you always have that look when you've been caught about to do something reckless, crazy, and or dangerous. Or all of the above. Lets hear it."

Hiccup groaned and shook his head.

"Fine. Come with me, but don't scream and don't draw any weapons."

The trekked through the woods until they reached the cove. Hiccup turned around told Razorre to come out behind him after three seconds.

He walked out with as much confidence as he could muster while he walked towards the dragon.

"Hey Toothless, I brought you breakfast! Hope you're hungry!"

Hiccup tipped the basket of fish over while Razorre came out of hiding. Toothless immediately zeroed in on him and growled. Razorre's hand immediately dropped to his sword, but did not draw it. Hiccup immediately rushed to Toothless.

"Woah, bud. Easy, easy. He's a friend."

Toothless relaxed a bit, but didn't stop eyeing Razorre as though daring him to draw his sword. Razorre's eyes flicked back and forth between Toothless and Hiccup, trying to make sense of what he was seeing.

"Hiccup, are you about to tell me that you are keeping a pet Night Fury in the woods?"

"No, I've been keeping a secret flower garden. What do you think you're looking at?! Oh, and please don't tell anyone about this. I don't want to be chased of Berk or have Toothless beheaded before Snoggletog."

Razorre actually rolled his eyes at Hiccup's snarking and slowly removed his hand from the sword. Toothless eased up a bit more and started to nose the fish, trying to choose a starter. Razorre walked over to a rock and sat down, letting the sudden charge of adrenaline die down as he watch Toothless suddenly become a bit more skiddish of the fish pile. Hiccup noted that Toothless had tensed up as soon as he saw the eel he had brought with him. He reached down and grabbed it only for Toothless to get much more freaked out. He swiftly tossed the eel away and rubbed his hands on his vest as he began moving back towards the dragon's tail. Razorre decided to chime in again.

"And you named this Night Fury, the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself, Toothless?"

Hiccup shrugged.

"He has retractible teeth and when I first met him he ended up trying to mimick me smiling."

Razorre's lip twitched a bit as he pictured Toothless trying to smile. Hiccup had just finished attaching the prosthetic tailfin to Toothless and unbeknownst to him, Toothless was spreading his wings in preparation to take flight. Razorre noticed this and realized what was about to happen.

"Hey Hiccup."

"Yeah?"

"Hold on."

"What? Woah!"

Toothless leapt into the air and began pumping his wings as he took flight, Hiccup clinging to his tail for dear life and using some rather creative swear words as Toothless continued to climb. After a near miss with the ground and a loop around the cove, Toothless realized he had a passenger and used a quick turn to throw Hiccup clean off of his tail. However, that caused Toothless to crash into the water. Razorre was howling with laughter while Hiccup was cheering the success of his invention. As Hiccup and Toothless dragged themselves out of the water, Toothless ambled over to Razorre and proceeded to spit an entire mouthful of water over his head! Razorre looked at the Night Fury as he made a laughing noise in his throat. Hiccup walked over and chuckled a bit as well. Razorre got to his feet and watched as Toothless walked over to a scorched patch of earth and proceeded to scorch it again before settling down for a nap.

"That is one incredible beast."

Hiccup smiled as he gazed at the Night Fury as well.

"He sure is."

Razorre noticed the sun climbing towards the highest point.

"It's almost noon. we should he back to the village and get ready for... class."

Hiccup nodded and went to retrieve the eel he had tossed away earlier and hid it under his fur vest.

"This'll definitely come in handy during class."

Razorre simply rolled his eyes and grabbed Hiccup by the arm before turning him to face him.

"I'll keep your secret, but you gotta do something for me."

Hiccup suddenly seemed a bit aprehensive.

"What is it?"

Razorre got a wide grin.

"You have got to teach me how you did that."
