Ch6: Last Stand
Nobody's POV
So it all started like this, I woke up feeling like it was a normal day…
A 16 year old Hiccup is walking through the streets of the new dragon improved Berk. He was just on his way back through the even more crowded streets of Berk, thanks to the dragons of course. But something was off today and it wasn't very hard to tell, everybody was gone, just vanished. Not even a terrible terror, nothing. Well that is until he saw a familiar black shape run up to him and nuzzle his hand. He wondered where everybody was, but shrugged it thinking it was none of his business. Anyway he wanted to grab some plans he left back up in his room, before heading back to them forge to well… be a Hiccup, invent, draw, and such. But on his way there he heard loud shouting coming from the great hall.
"Weird, I didn't know there was a party." Hiccup said to himself out loud, still not putting the pieces together.
"Okay, this is interesting but why are you talking to yourself in the third person?" Valka asked Hiccup wondering about the story.
"Because: A, it makes it more dramatic and B, because I want to." I said slightly annoyed, while rubbing my temples trying to deal with my huge headache.
Hiccup had enough wondering, fed up with not knowing just nagging at the back of his head he proceeded to the great hall. After a long walk up the steps to the hall. He was about to push the door open, but he stopped when he heard his father's voice.
"This has gone too far, we need to get the dragons off Berk or Hiccup goes." I heard my father's commanding voice say.
My heart stopped, 'why?' the only thing that was going through my mind at the moment. But before I could react I heard another voice, this time it was Astrid's.
"Chief don't you think your being a little drastic." She said in her angelic like voice that I loved so much, but this time it wasn't her nice heavenly sounding voice as normal, this voice was filled with venom spitting it out with every word she says.
"No its not. Hiccups plan to unite the dragons and Vikings was a good idea, but now that cons out weigh the pros. Now everybody wants dragons or my son to tame them. They will tear the archipelago apart unless the dragons go." My father continued obviously not wanting to budge on his verdict.
"THAT ASS!" Valka exclaimed throwing a nearby sword at the wall, embedding it in three inches deep. We all turned to her eyes wide. Hiccup took twenty minutes and a lot of ranting to calm her down.
While this was going on the four other assassins were watching in horror.
"Dammmm…" Rona said quietly and in a low voice so only the three other assassins would hear her.
My heart sank even further, now my father doesn't trust me to defend myself. He still thinks I'm a useless Hiccup, I knew it, and this was all too good to be true. At least Astrid's trying to defend me right?
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Astrid voice once again.
"Yeah, I guess you right, but what will I say to Stormfly." She said sadness barely evident I her voice.
I shook my head in disbelief backing down the steps in sheer horror. I heard one last thing before running home, it was my father.
"Well we should go break the news to him and from here on out he shall no longer be called 'The Dragon Tamer'. For hence forth he will be called, 'Hiccup the Useless'." My father finished and to my horror there was an uproar of laughing and happy yells.
Hiccup then looked over to Valka for was steaming literally. He decided it would be best if he continued the story before she got out of hand. Again.
Hiccup's POV
I finally had enough and ran down large amount of stone steps, I ran into my house and up the stairs. I walked over to a cabinet with a large book on it. I looked around carefully before pulling it. It moved the cabinet and revealed a secret room. Inside was specially designed armor on a custom made armor stand, that I made out of oak in my spare time. Which I have a lot of. At the foot of the stand was a small chest inside were some hidden wrist blades I had been working on lately. They were hand activated so a flick of the wrist and BAM! Your dead. Then there was a chest in the corner, I opened it. Inside was a training manual for a long lost fighting technique. I put on my armor and the hidden blades. I walked out of the room closing it on the way out before walking to my desk.
"Oh so that's where you got this fighting style from." Finn said in his deep voice, laced with curiosity.
I grabbed the book and put it in a satchel, along with other crucial blueprints. I ran out the door and to the forge. I through the back streets of the deserted town jumping over crates and sliding under cats. In about fifteen seconds I was inside the back room.
"Hey new record, won't be breaking that ever." I said to myself with a laugh.
I quickly grabbed two replacement blades, and my two night shade swords. Then I grabbed my retractable staff made of night shade from the corner.
"Hmm… you have a lot of weapons son, how often do you use them? I mean you only use them to defend yourself right?" Valka asked her son with a raised eyebrow.
Hiccup flinched when she said that and replied awkwardly. "Umm… that's a story for another time."
I strapped all my gear on my belt, or sash. I quickly put my hood up and ran out of the workshop, taking the back exit, but on my way out I bumped into a weapons rack knocking it over. Then just my luck I heard somebody I never wanted to see again.
"Hiccup, you in here?" I heard the voice say, I knew it was Astrid but right now I hated her.
So I turned my head back slightly to look at the door where the noise came from. I caught a glimpse of Astrid and she caught a glimpse of me. Her eyes widened as I ran into the dark forest. I ran through the forest at speeds I didn't know existed, dodging trees and hopping over boulders. I was about three miles from where I told Toothless to meet me. Still running through the forest at break neck speeds, stole a glance back at Astrid, she was about fifty feet behind me. When I turned my head back forwards I saw a group of outcasts, about twenty, setting up some kind of trap I assume.
I smiled, knowing if I show Astrid what I'm really capable of she may not follow me. I ran towards the two men at the front. I looked back once more to find Astrid stopped about fifteen feet behind me eyes filled with tears. I looked back at the men, ten meters, five meters, I then threw two sharp knives at the men both hitting them in the forehead, directly between the eyes. I then spun around to dodge a crossbow bolt, flying my way from a nearby archer. When I spun around I caught a glimpse of where I came from, there was no Astrid.
"Oh no, what happened next." Asked Agdi.
"Well lets shut the hole that makes the words and you'll find out." I said back to her, now getting annoyed at all the stupid questions.
Rona noticed this and gave me a big kiss on the lips, I pulled away and looked to my mother who had a slight smirk on her face, suggesting something. I chuckled lightly and continued with the story.
At that point the only thing going through my mind was, 'Astrid's going to get the village.'
Then I started to pick up the pace stabbing and slicing guys left and right. After about three minutes there were only three left. I then heard some rustling in the bushes, I knew that I had to take these guys out quickly if I wanted to avoid confrontation with the village. Luckily Toothless must've noticed my absences and came to the rescue. We had this all planned out, if I needed help Toothless would just dive, creating the whistling sound stunning the opponents. Then I would just walk up, while they were searching the skies and bam there dead.
Astrid's POV (Three minutes earlier)
I was running though the still empty streets of Berk looking for the chief. I looked up to the great hall as I saw the Vikings pour out of it, in droves. I ran up to the crowd finding Gobber and Stoick talking in the front. I ran up to them panting in exhaustion. I ran up and grabbed Gobber's shirt trying to stay upright. They looked at me with concern and asked.
"Astrid what's wrong?" Gobber asked holding me on my feet.
Still panting I managed to choke out some key words. "North side…*pant* Hiccup…*pant… Outcasts."
They looked back at me wide-eyed before they started to bark orders.
Nobody's POV
The Vikings were all lined up in the bushes looking for the outcasts, when they saw a shadow move in the darkness. Astrid was the only one that knew it was Hiccup so she waited to see if he could actually do something. They all saw him sprint out of the woods and throw two sharp knives at the font guard dropping them like they were nothing. After just a couple of minutes the only men left standing were, Savage and two of his goons. All the hooded man did, much to the confusion of everybody present, he just stood there not moving a muscle. Then a faint whispering sound was heard from the black skies above. Murmurs erupted from the Vikings some claiming that there was another Night Fury, some saying that Hiccup was nearby, to it is Hiccup. The three remaining soldiers started to look up to the sky, searching franticly for the dragon. The just walked up to the soldiers that had their backs to the Vikings in the bushes. Hiccup quickly ran up to two of the men and hidden bladed them, whilst slamming their head together. The Vikings watch in horror and slight awe as the hooded man took down the last two soldiers, before advancing on the last standing man, Savage. Hiccup approached the man with what seemed no weapon. All the Vikings stared on in suspense as Savage thrusted his sword into the abdomen of the hooded man. For once in his life Hiccupw as lucky the sword he was stabbed with was his own. Astrid gasped in horror as tears filled his aqua blue eyes.
Rona and my mother gasped my horror, holding their hand to their mouths. They looked at me in shock, before Rona hugged my tightly and started to lightly sob. I hugged her back and continued the story.
Savage then landed a punch to his face knocking his hood off, all the Vikings gasped in surprise and Stoick started to rise to fight the last outcast. Gobber then reached out and grabbed him by his shoulders, shaking his head.
"Let da lad do tis Stoick." Gobber said tears welling in his own eyes too.
Stoick reluctantly nodded and crouched back down, the started then to listen in on the conversation.
"You have no weapon stand down!" Savage shouted with slight fear evident in his voice.
The Vikings just watched with wide-eyes and minds racing. Hiccup just brought a small smirk onto his face and said.
"Oh, I think that's where you're wrong. I win Savage walk away or die!" Hiccup said in a deep threatening voice.
Savage just laughed and picked up a nearby sword and slowly walked towards Hiccup.
"Fine you asked for it."
"What are you going to do, you have no weapon?"
Hiccup just smiled and slowly pulled out the sword embedded in his abdomen. He clenched his teeth as the last inch of the sword left his flesh and opened the wound. He smiled and grabbed his wound with his left hand, holding the sword with his right hand.
All the Vikings watched in awe and horror as Hiccup pulled out the sword and put it in his hand, raring for a fight. They looked at Hiccup in awe, never had the thought Hiccup could do such a thing. For once in all of their lives they were scared of a Hiccup.
Rona then turned to me with a sympathetic look on her face before saying.
"Why did they treat you so bad, you don't deserve it?" Rona said kissing me on the lips again.
I sighed audibly and replied. "Yeah but if the did I would've never met you."
She smiled and hugged me tighter, I just smiled and continued the story.
Savage tried to slash down at Hiccup from a left diagonal. Hiccup contoured this by swing up-ward with more force. The sword being made out of gronkel iron, heat with Night Fury flame, made it indestructible. Then steel met Night Shade Steel, the regular steel sword snapped like a twig. Causing Savage lose his balance and fall to the ground. Hiccup approached the fallen outcast as Savage tried to back up using his feet. Trying to scramble away Savage looked at Hiccup with fear in his eyes. Hiccup just walked up to him and crouched down and looked at Savage. His emerald green eye boring a deep crevasse into Savages soul. He looked at him once more and said.
"I want you to get your worthless carcass of this island before I KILL YOU AND SEND YOUR BODY TO HIM." Hiccup said his anger rising by the second.
The Vikings watching all gasped in shock, they never thought a tame person like Hiccup could be so… well violent. Savage just nodded and ran across the hill, disappearing across the hill, to the outcast ship. Hiccup stood up and watched as Savage ordered the sailors on the ship around. Hiccup then turned around and picked up his swords, he sheathed them. Hiccup turned around and looked to where the Vikings where hiding. He picked up a nearby cross-bow and fired into the leaves of a tree right next to Stoick face. About five seconds later a dead outcast fell out of the tree, clutching his chest, where a cross-bow bolt was lodged, leaving all the Vikings in shock, again. Hiccup then looked at where Stoick was hiding and said in a very authoritative voice.
"If any of you even think about following me I will kill all of you." Hiccup said in a, low, deep voice.
"Oh, so like your voice now." Rona said hugging me even tighter. I just nodded and she continued. "It's so sexy." She continued hugging me tighter.
"Rona… can't… breath." I choked out.
She just smiled and let me go.
Hiccup then turned around and ran into the forest, still clutching his abdomen.
Hiccup's POV
As I was running through the forest the only thing going through my mind was to stop the bleeding. I kept running and running, until I felt my legs start to grow weak, my arms drooping uselessly at my sides and my vision start to blur. I stumbled and tripped almost every step now as I trudged through the thick, dense forest. I reached a large boulder and leaned against it , I lost my footing slowly sliding down, leaving marks of blood on the large rock.
My vision started to fade as I saw a large shadow loom over me then… nothing.
"And as fate has it that person, was Finn here. After he healed me, I left the next morning knowing that there would be large search parties. Luckily Finn distracted them for me, I really owe him. " I said pointing to the large man.
Finn just smiled and grabbed Hiccup pulling into a hug.
"Yeah, well I should be thanking Hiccup here." Finn said releasing me from the hug.
I gasped for breath as my friends snickered and laughed.
My mother just looked at him perplexed, Finn noticed this and explained.
"Well I was a nobody, I couldn't defend myself, and I was like your son." Finn said jokingly
I just laughed and motioned him to continue, he did.
"Hiccup taught me how to fight, he gave me a new lease on life. He's like the brother I never had." Finn said pulling me in for another hug.
I just laughed whole-heartedly as we continued to share stories.
