Chapter IV

AN: I forgot to mention that the this conflict is set two weeks after Hiccup left Berk. I love the enthusiasm around this story. It has almost the same amount of reviews as some of my more popular stories in more popular fandoms! Thanks for all the reviews and followers!- JDT :[

Ruff's POV

I saw the death of me today… Danny was the demon from a couple weeks ago and then after he kissed Astrid. My ASTRID. What hurt me even more was the way that she didn't fight back. Maybe she doesn't love me after all. As soon as that scumbag that is Danny left, I jumped out of my hiding spot and stood there as the tears started flow out of me. All I could manage was "So that's how you feel…" and ran out of the Academy, plotting ways to hurt the demon.

I ran to where Tuffnut, Snotlout, Fishlegs, and Danny were talking. I joined in the conversation over who was a better dragon rider. I wouldn't even look towards Danny when he spoke. I guess that Tuff saw this and once we left the conversation, he brought it up… I just told him I didn't want to talk about it.

Astrid's POV

I cant believe that Ruff was there the entire time. I cant find her and talk to her and Tuff said she doesn't want to see me at all. I don't know who to be mad at: me or Danny. I walked with Stormfly towards to center of the village to try and find Ruffnut or Danny. I ran to find Snotlout, who was hitting on me once again. I just got mad and hit him in the arm. He backed off and I soon found our local demon. He smiled and said "Hey Astrid…"

His look dropped and he tackled me to the ground. I saw my axe hit the ground not ten feet behind where Danny was standing. He got off of me and said "Ruffnut, what has gotten into you. You would've hit Astrid!"

Danny's POV

I was shocked that Ruffnut would throw Astrid's axe at Astrid. I silently thanked myself for it being cold in Amity when I fought Vlad that day. I silently charged my hidden blade charm and it attached itself to my arms. I drew them and rushed Ruffnut. She was surprised. When I got up to her I threatened her, "If you ever threaten any of my friends again, I will make you wish to die." Of course this happened right as Hiccup decided to return. I heard the sound of a Night Fury attack coming towards us.

I sheathed my blades and tackled Ruff out of the way. Chaos soon came by my side and Hiccup jumped off of Toothless and drew his sword and rushed me. I flicked my wrists, letting my blades pop out. I yelled at the oncoming Viking "She attacked Astrid! I just stopped her!"

Then Astrid joined in "Hiccup Horrendous Haddock! Stop attacking the boy who saved me! Look,!" she said as she pointed to where her axe was sticking out of the ground "He saved me!" I was thankful that Astrid was defending me. I really don't know what come over me in the Academy. It just felt…right.

I flexed my wrists again, retracting my hidden blades. Hiccup was wary of his surroundings but I just kept going on like I did. I hopped on Chaos and said "I might come back I might not. Anyone wants to come, pack up and meet me her in two hours. I am heading east."

In two hours, I had Astrid, who was coming with me and I had heard rumors of Hiccup was coming. Astrid pleaded with me to delay 30 minutes. I gave in after her begging. As soon as I had said "Come on, he's not coming." He showed up with another dragon following him and Toothless.

The two landed. Hiccup introduced us to a girl with long blonde hair with brown pants and a green top named Camicaze. He told me that she's going with us. I didn't care. The more the merrier, even if it is Hiccup. We took off and flew for hours. We soon found a little island in the ocean.

I decided that we should land their for the night. I pitched a tent for me and I pitched Astrid's for her while she went to go get some wood. When she came back, I found her and pulled her to the side "Astrid, I'm going flying. Without Chaos. Keep Hiccup and Camicaze, if they ever stop eating face, out of the woods. I need to blow off some steam."

She agreed, and I heard her chuckle when she got back into camp. Hiccup and Camicaze were still making out. I'm happy for Hiccup. He's got himself a girl. Maybe that will make him be less stressed. I ran to the edge of the woods, where there was a cliff, and did a swan dive off of it.

I decided to flex my abilities and tried to fly without changing. It worked!

Astrid's POV

I saw the flashes of greens, reds, blues, and other colors in the skies, signaling that the demon has taken to blowing its steam. I do remember this one thing that Stoik had said right before he took Toothless to the Nest, I remember that he called Toothless the devil. Is there any irony in the fact that the half-demon rides a king devil?

Soon I noticed that Hiccup and Cami were gone. Oh shit. I looked for Toothless and Cami's Monstrous Nightmare. Both were missing and I looked up to see red, blue, and green flying in different directions. I ran to Stormfly, who was staring at the raging battle. I flew up to see the new couple trying to trade blows with Danny, in his demon form. Danny turned and saw me heading towards him. He jumped off of Chaos and flew towards me, which still kinda scares me. He then did what I thought should've killed him.

Chaos was close behind him, dodge fire blasts from Hiccup and Camicaze. The white rings encased Demon Danny, and once they finished passing, the original Danny was revealed. Danny slowed his flight and landed perfectly on Chaos, as if they've practiced that move. I smiled to Danny, and he smiled back. I noticed that Danny had his sword back.

He soon caught up to me and he looked at me with a giant grin on his face "Wanna race back to camp?" I smiled back and yelled
"It's on!"

AN: Well, I just finished watching the movie again, and to answer fanficfantasies' questions:

Q: don't you mean a Astrie/Ruffnut?

A: no I do not. Ruffstrid is my favorite pairing in the series. They compliment each other better than I think Astrid does with Hiccup.

Q: How is it possible for another Night Fury to end up on Berk in the same shape-ish that Toothless did in the movies?

A: Chaos was the Chief of his pack or tribe. That's why he has the gold markings. Like many animals today, others will challenge the alphas in fights of dominance. Chaos lost… and crashed into the Dragon Academy…

Ok, so please comment, review, and just tell me how I'm doing!- JDT :[
