Chapter 4
Just Trust Me

"What is the meaning of this!?" Stoick roared, which closely followed by the dragons. Everyone on Berk could practically hear RJ's loud call a while ago and the Haddock Household was surrounded by celestial beings of giants.

Surrounding the Haddock Household were eight foot heavily armored giants. They were kneeling down, not letting anyone or any dragons pass through, even Stoick, Toothless and Astrid. The shape of the armor they all wore made a perfect wall if they stood side by side, which was what they were doing right now.

"Get out of my way!" roared Stoick as he raised his axe and charged. He was immediately got stopped by a giant hand and the axe got picked off from his hand like he was just a doll. One of the giants respectfully pushed Stoick back to the crowds.

"I am very sorry, sir chief of Berk, but we here are following our orders," said one of the giants. Stoick scowls as Astrid and Toothless came to both side of him, scowling at the giants. "Again, we are sorry"

"Who's your leader!?" Astrid demanded and at the second after she demanded, the ground shook. Coming into view, an even bigger giant approached the crowds. Unlike the previous giants, this one particular giant was over twelve feet tall with heavily armored body that also covered with spikes that pointed upwards and backwards. Also, this twelve foot giant wore a spiky helmet, covering most of its head.

The only thing that was visible from its head was its eyes. They were bright golden slit eyes that as bright as the sun itself.

The giant slowly walked towards to the chief, the girl and the dragon as the crowds shrunk in fear over the sheer size of the giant. Everyone was scared of this giant as Toothless could visibly whimpered in fear and Stoick stared with eyes wide. Astrid on the other hand, narrowed her eyes in recognition.

Astrid took a step forward. Stoick was reaching a hand toward her but she just waved it off. Even Toothless roared at her in warning but she ignored it.

She stood just a few feet from the giant as she looked up at the giant. The giant then slowly got down to both knees but still looking down at Astrid since the giant was just too tall. Astrid stared at the giant in confusion.

"Have we met before?" she asked softly at the giant, afraid that her tone will make the giant went berserk. Astrid swore she had met the giant before but where?

She was taken aback when the kneeling giant held out a small yellow flower in her direction. It looked so puny in the giant's two fingers. She looked at the flower; it was delicate yet beautiful. She looked at the giant's eyes. They were calm and friendly.

She looked between the flower and the giants multiple times before she very slowly took the flower with a shaky hand. Her eyes were locked at the flower for a moment before she looked back up and softly gasped.

The eyes of the giant softened even further as she could see small wrinkles at the corner of the giant's eyes. She could not see under the matte black metallic mask but from what she saw from the eyes, is the giant… smiling?

The giant then slowly placed a giant hand over his armored chest and bowed, still in his kneeling position.

"I am Commander. It is nice to meet you," the giant softly spoke with his deep voice that seemed to be echoing as he introduced himself.

"Commander?" Astrid repeated when suddenly it clicked, making her eyes widened. "We've meet before, right? Five years ago when you made RJ jumped out from his skin?" the giant, Commander, hummed in agreement.

"Yes, we have met, little girl," Commander spoke back. Forgetting her manners, Astrid introduced herself and the others.

"My name's Astrid Hofferson," she respectfully bowed, in wondered if that was the correct way to greet the giant. "That man, the chief of Berk, is Stoick the Vast," Astrid waved Stoick forward. He slowly approached the giant and slowly bowed in respect.

"It is an honor to meet you, Commander," Stoick spoke to the giant who nodded at him.

"The honor is mine, Stoick the Vast" Commander replied. Astrid then pulled Toothless forward.

"This dragon is Toothless, Hiccup's best friend," Toothless gave a small warble at the giant. Toothless shrunk a bit when Commander leaned in to get a better view and tilted his head in amazement.

"Such an extraordinary friend," the giant muttered and Astrid nodded. Stoick then coughed, gaining the giant's attention.

"May I ask, Commander," Stoick started softly, scared that harsh words might provoke the giants. He had faced dragons before but these giants looked like battle specialist and weapon masters. "Why are your… people surrounding my home?"

"It is because the house is infected with a very deadly and contagious disease," the still kneeling giant replied, making the trio's eyes widened.

"What!?" Stoick bellowed.

"How!?" Astrid demanded.

"We do not know. Our medical specialists are in there checking," replied Commander.

"Wait, there's people infected in there?" Stoick asked, bewildered.

"Yes," the trio paled – though it was unnoticeable on Toothless since he was midnight black – at the answer.

"Who is it?" Astrid asked with a shaky voice, hoping it was not who she was thinking.

"One of them is my best friend, RJ Ralph while the other…" Astrid, Stoick and Toothless held their breath at the pause. "I am very sorry to say this but the other person is none other than Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III"

"Dear gods," Stoick muttered.

"Is there any cure!?" Astrid yelled.

"We are still looking for it, Astrid Hofferson"

"Can't ye search any faster!?" Stoick boomed, making everyone winced at his voice but Commander and the giants doesn't even twitch a bit.

"We are at out best, Stoick the Vast, please be calm and patient"

"How can I be calm when my son is in there dying!?"

"We are still not sure that your son is going to die. He is suffering, yes. But he is not suffering alone. RJ Ralph is in there too"

"He's infected by the disease too?"

"Yes, that is why he do not want anyone to get infected because according to him, he immediately affected by the disease when he entered the house. That is why the Army Blockers are here to prevent anyone to enter," Commander gestured the other giants behind him.

"Wait," Astrid spoke up. "If Ralph got infected when he entered the house, does that mean that your medical specialists are too infected?"

"The Army Medics are coated with special substance that prevents foreign substance from entering their body. Though, they took extra precaution on this new disease as they wore an extra protective body layer"

Toothless whined sorrowfully as Stoick massaged his eyebrows, yelling at the villagers to get back to their business as Astrid took some deep breath to make her calm down. The crowd dispersed but the dragons stayed, worried for Hiccup.

"Are you sure that Hiccup will survive this disease?" Astrid pleaded at the giant. Slowly, Commander raised a giant hand and placed it over his heart. He was silent for a moment before he answered.

"Just trust me"
