Ooh hadn't thought of that... Asgore reminding Hiccup and Toothless of Stoick... Cool idea...
...
Hiccup and Toothless walked into a flowered chamber with a large figure in a robe. He had huge horns sticking out of his head.
"Just a moment. Let me finish watering these flowers." Asgore spoke with a deep voice. He began humming.
Hiccup waited patiently, and finally, Asgore turned around and saw them. His cheery smile disappeared. Something unreadable crossed his face.
"Oh. Well... I guess you're here. If there's anything you want to get done before... now's the time. Come to the barrier when you're ready."
Asgore turned and left the room. Hiccup turned to Toothless.
"Any second thoughts?"
"Nope." Toothless grinned and smacked Hiccup lightly with his wing. "Let's do this."
Hiccup grinned, grateful for his friend more than ever. They followed Asgore into a large chamber where there was a huge glowing wall that seemed to lead outside. Hiccup took a deep breath, seeing Asgore standing there.
"Ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." He knew there was no way out. This was to the death.
Hiccup took out a breath and grabbed out his sword. Without Toothless, he would not have stood a chance. He looked and saw his friend, ready for the fight. Igniting Inferno, he stepped forward.
Asgore pulled out a huge red trident. "It was nice to meet you, human."
"Nice to meet you too."
A flash of light appeared, and in a blast of fire, Asgore was thrown aside. Toriel walked forward out of the shadows, glaring at him. She turned to a shocked Hiccup.
"My child. It is good to see you again."
Hiccup nodded. "Wonderful to see you, but how why are you here?"
Toriel's face fell a bit. "My child, I realized I couldn't let you kill Asgore, or him kill you. It is not right to kill someone so someone else can leave. Is that what I have not been trying to prevent? Even Asgore deserves pity, despite what he has done."
Hiccup smiled. "Yeah, makes sense."
Asgore had gotten up. "Tori? Is that you?"
"Do not "Tori" me, Asgore Dreemurr. You're pathetic. If you really wanted to free monsters, you could have gotten just one soul and gotten the others outside the barrier instead of waiting here meekly hoping another human never comes." She was glaring at him.
Hiccup stared at them. They knew each other personally.
A familiar voice sounded behind him. He whipped around to see Papyrus running in. "No one hurt anyone!"
Undyne followed. "Hey, everyone chill!"
Alphys appeared, walking slower. She had something in her hands. "Is everyone okay?"
Sans was the last to arrive waltzing in like nothing was wrong.
Toothless stared at them all, eyes narrowed. Well, except for Alphys. He trusted her.
"Uh.. what are you guys doing here?"
Undyne stared around. "We're here to rescue you!" She looked ready to throw spears at anyone who came close to Hiccup.
Then they all, except of course, Alphys, stared at Toothless in shock. Toriel seemed to notice he was there for the first time. Sans's eyes got an inch wider. Papyrus's mouth dropped open, and Undyne stared at him, wondering if he was a threat.
"Toothless, meet Papyrus, Sans, Undyne, Toriel. Everyone, meet Toothless."
Toothless grunted and sat down next to Hiccup, still looking around for danger. "Hello, everyone."
Sans waved. "Yo."
Papyrus stared at the dragon, amazed.
Undyne and Toothless exchanged a look. Hiccup half wondered if Toothless would eat her. Then he remembered Toothless had been here for a while, and probably knew that Undyne was no ordinary fish.
Toriel stared for a moment, then smiled and waved. "Hello. You must be that dragon Hiccup asked about."
Toothless's eyes widened. "He asked about me?"
All the monsters nodded at once. All of them had been asked at least once as to the whereabouts of a dragon, except Asgore.
Toothless looked back at Hiccup. Something sparked in his eyes. "Hiccup... you really are my friend. I'm sorry I ever forgot."
Hiccup smiled and the two embraced again, after a while, it ended in Hiccup being covered in dragon slobber. Everyone laughed as the two play faught. Alphys handed the thing she had been holding to Hiccup. It was a locket. A heart shaped locket with the skull symbol that he used on it. He opened it and saw a picture of the Skelebros, Undyne, and Alphys in a pose. In runes on the inside of the lid, it said:
"So you never forget. -Your friends."
Hiccup wiped a tear away from his eye. They all group hugged, and Toriel joined. Asgore hovered a little ways away, watching.
Hiccup waved him over. "Come here, Asgore."
Asgore smiled and walked over, keeping a noticed distance from Toriel. There was definitely something between them.
When they stopped group hugging, Alphys turned to Papyrus. "You called everyone here, except for her, right?" She motioned to Toriel. "How did you know to call us?"
Papyrus shrugged. "Let's just say.."
They all turned to him.
"A tiny flower told me."
Alphys winced. So did Toriel and Sans.
"A... tiny... flower...?"
A vine flew unexpectedly out of the wall, grabbing everyone, even Toothless, except Hiccup. A vine wrapped around Toothless's muzzle, inhibiting his fire shooting capability. He struggled, and so did Undyne. Everyone else seemed frozen. A familiar, scary laugh echoed through the room.
"Oh, you IDIOTS."
Flowey appeared out of the ground, looking smug.
"While you all were having your little party, I got the humans souls!"
Hiccup took a step forward. He took out Inferno, but didn't light it up yet. "Flowey." He had a dangerously low but venom filled voice. "Let them go. Now."
Flowey laughed. "He he he. Hilarious. You think this is over? You really think you're just going to be able to leave? This is just a story. You don't exist. I don't exist. None of this matters. There is no home for you, no home for me. Everything here is planned. Every action just a word on a page. But with the souls.. I can break free. I can escape this terrible place. I will beat the writer."
Hiccup was shocked. Just a story? He didn't exist? "No. We all matter. Every life matters."
"We don't exist. What part of that don't you get? But these souls.. now that I have them, the writer has no power over me. Everything I do, I do on my own. You're still a pawn. I'm not."
"But.. wouldn't the souls count as things that don't exist?" Hiccup was confused.
"Hey, I don't ask questions. I just want the power to escape the story. All those who are reading this story? All those who will someday? They'll know I escaped. Then, when I break free? I'll take THEIR souls, too. I'll become a GOD. I'll be so powerful, nothing can hold me in. I'll take the writers soul. I'll take the souls of those she loves." He began laughing maniacally. "I'll be FREE! And I'll start.. with yours. I'll take it if I have to rip it from your body, little viking."
Hiccup took a step back. Nothing mattered. Nothing. But he couldn't let Flowey escape this place. He wouldn't. He couldn't let the Flower terrorize worlds he had never and would never see.
Some friendliness pellets flew at him. He dodged them. More and more flew, and he dodged. He began to tire. One pellet struck his leg. He collapsed in pain. More began to pummel him. He was barely aware of the others cheering him on.
The pain stopped.
"We're on your side, human!" It was Undyne.
"You can do it! Just do what I would do! Believe in you!" Papyrus.
"Technically, it's impossible for you to beat him.. but I've seen you do the impossible before!" Alphys.
"C'mon, you haven't beaten this chump yet? Kick his face in with your leg, pal!" Sans.
"My child, you've been through so much. I will always be with you." Toriel.
"You can do this. You're our last hope." Asgore.
"You're my best friend and I'm not going to let you die!" Toothless.
Hiccup looked up and saw Toothless had broken free of the vines. He wrapped himself around Hiccup, his nostrils and spine glowing. He had charged up again. The Alpha. He snarled at Flowey.
Flowey snickered. "You just don't understand, do you? You're just delaying the inevitable, no matter what you do. I have an eternity. You don't."
Hiccup stood up and got onto Toothless's back. "We'll fight you as long as we can."
Flowey smirked and let off another round of pellets. Toothless roared and blasted at them. They ripped through the blast, hitting them both. One struck dangerously close to Hiccup's heart. He gasped and fell back, everything swaying. He could feel his body beginning to fail him for the second time in the underground.
"No.."
He fell onto his knees, grasping at his chest. He was bleeding. He was only partially aware of Toothless's furious roar, a plasma blast, and a flash of light. Toothless landed with a a thump in front of Hiccup, glow fading.
"Bud..? Toothless!"
Hiccup struggled over to Toothless, barely feeling his friend's heartbeat when he checked for it. A wave of pure fury swept him. He stared at Flowey, who was still grinning.
"Looks like I win."
In a roar of pure anger, Hiccup ignited Inferno, leaping forward with strength he didn't know he had. He struck Flowey upside his flower head. The flower lit on fire, but didn't seem to mind.
"Hah. Don't make me laugh. I have the power of six souls. You're a dying human." He smirked as the fire went out. "You lose."
Hiccup collapsed back onto his knees, looking back at Toothless's limp body. But the dragon's eyes were still open. He was still alive.
"Hiccup... stay determined. You can... do this... you're unstoppable... as long as you.. have... determination... to save... the world."
Hiccup crawled over to his friend.
"Don't leave me... not again..."
"Hiccup... this place isn't like our world. We can do things that we normally couldn't do." He began to stand up on shaky legs. "Let's use our strength to destroy this terrible little monster once and for all. Together."
Hiccup felt tears in his eyes. They were going to fight death together. They were going to fight for everything. Together. As one.
He nodded.
Their souls, which reflected each others, moved together and beat as one. Strength poured through their body. They combined. Through sheer DETERMINATION.
Flowey had absorbed the other's souls. And every monster soul in the underground. He transformed into a horned monster that resembled Toriel and Asgore. He had a huge grin.
"It's me, your best friend. Asriel Dreemurr."
Hiccup and Toothless turned as one to Asriel. "You cannot leave here. The writer forbids it. They have given us the power to defeat you."
Asriel grinned. "We'll see, Hiccup. And Toothless. Hicctooth, I guess? Or Toothcup? I always was terrible at naming. I get that from my father."
The fight began.
Yup ending it here for this chapter. Did you catch the quote from HTTYD 2? Tell me if you saw it.
I shattered the fourth wall. Hope they can get that back together. It's not what's in the story that's at stake. It's us... Creepy, right?
Hiccup and Toothless will be called "The hero" in the next chapter so you don't get confused. Keep that in mind. Since they are in one body right now, and I don't want to constantly say both names every time, I'll make it simple and refer to them as one person. Kay?
Please review! :D
