Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. However I did make this story.


I would like to apologize for anyone excepting a chapter last week, but there were outside factor keeping me from posting last week. Anyway, I think it has been resolved and thing should go back to normal. I'm unsure if I will continue the original posting schedule, but we'll have to wait and see. I would like to say thank you to you the audience for reading this and/or previous story so far. Here's the next part in the story. Well, see you in two weeks if I don't post next week.


It wasn't until a few days later that the "finals" were going to be decide as one of the students would join the ranks. But they had to slay their first dragon to prove their skill and worth in the eyes of the villagers. Astrid seemed to be the definite choose, but Hiccup was the runner up. Although the final decision was made by the village healer and elder, Gothi.

Everyone seemed to think she'd pick Astrid, but instead chose Hiccup for the honor. Which caused some uproar among the villager, but no one seemed to go against her decision. It's going to happen the next day with the entire village watching. Valka and Hiccup spoke privately whenever possible, but feared something like this would happen. Especially since no one knew of their possible "ties" to one another. Valka feared of losing her son again, but Hiccup was worried of what he had to do. Toothless was worried, but was concerned as he and Hiccup were sharing bodies. Meaning he may have to intervene should things go wrong, but didn't want to think of it till it got there.

"So what are you going to do? Do you want me to "help" you?" His mother asked as the two were enjoying the cove's scenery. Toothless was listening as well, as he also wanted to know.

"I don't know, I was raised to help dragons. Not to harm them, but something tells me I need to if I'm going to get anywhere. If you can do something to make them see "us" as friend than enemy. But like you said when we met, they are too ignorant of the fact." Hiccup said, which sent a chill down Toothless's back. Valka now believed her son to be a dragon, but was still skeptical as she never saw him change. She planned on telling her husband after she left Hiccup, but wasn't quite sure how to explain it. As she didn't speak to anyone very much since everyone thought she was crazy.

Valka left Hiccup at the cove to hopefully convince her husband to what was happening. Meanwhile Hiccup just stared at his reflection in the water. Toothless "walked" into the reflection and just looked at himself.

"What.. am.. I going to do?" Hiccup said softly to himself. Neither knew the answer to the question, which left them staring some more. This could have went on forever, but Hiccup was tackled to the ground. He didn't quite know who it was until he looked at the figure.

Astrid was holding her battle axes ready to strike. Hiccup remained helpless as he was laying on the ground with her sitting on him. Toothless was about to intervene, but Hiccup convinced him otherwise.

"How can you just come in here and just take EVERYTHING I've worked to hard to accomplish!? Why would she give you the honor of killing a dragon?" She said as she looked at him and his skinny body.

"What are you talking about?" Hiccup said despite the fact he probably knew.

"Gothi picked you over me!" She yelled, which didn't serve much to Hiccup. Toothless wanted to intervene, bit Hiccup kept him from doing so.

"I didn't know why. I'd rather it be you then me." Hiccup said, but this didn't sway her decision much. Although it did catch her slightly off guard, but she didn't want Hiccup to know that.

"Well you're lucky I can't kill you. Or else Stoick would have my head." She said before removing herself off them.

"I'm sorry, I wish it wasn't me either." Hiccup said as she walked off. Toothless wanted to kill her too, but Hiccup convinced him not too. The two remained at the cove for the rest of the day thinking what to do. Neither wanted to kill the dragon, but they feared they're going to need to if the worst were to come.

The train of thought plagued them for what seemed like days, but were instead hours and minutes. The only thing that could interrupt them was food and rest, so they grabbed some fish from the pond. However they stayed awake for another hour before sleep took it's hold of them.

That night, Hiccup and Toothless dreamt of the arena with the dragon. Except they were by themselves, free to do as they wish. A unknown dragon and a sword lay in front of them, neither knew what to do. They both called out to each other, but didn't get the response of the other...

The next morning, the "two" processed to the arena not really wanted what was going to happen. Toothless was going to "watch" as Hiccup dealt with the dragon, but he didn't care if Hiccup wanted too. He was going to jump in if things got "dangerous" for them.

Once inside the arena Hiccup stood in the middle with Gobber and an array of weapons around them. Valka and Stoick seat in clear view of them while everyone else was struck with what they got. After a while of waiting, Stoick stood and held both of his hand to silence the crowd before speaking.

"Good morning everyone! As we all know, times have become tough. Dragon raids just about everyone other night and with winter coming. It is going to be a rough winter this year, but hopefully this well cheer us up." He said, but stopped for moment before going on further.

"So let us bless this day and hope this young student of Gobber's passes the test and join our ranks. As I for one to tell his parents that their boy is dead." He said unaware of Hiccup's possible relation to him.

"Without further ado. Let the battle begin." He finished and Gobber drew closer to the him.

"So what'll be? The brute force of a battle hammer, the swift slash of a sword, the dual edges of a axes, or the reach of a spear?" Gobber asked as he watched with a hint of excitement.

Hiccup looked the weapons over despite he hated every minutes of this. Hiccup had a liking to swords, but the ones there were too heavy. However one did catch his eyes, a mix between dagger and sword. The blade was a little long for a dagger, but a little short to be a sword. After picking up the blade, he found it to be light and could move with him easily. He then picked up a shield and the weapon were then moved out of the arena.

Once everything was out of the way, the large trunk was removed from one of the large doors. The doors burst open with lava like flames splashing onto the ground. Hiccup gathered himself together as a monstrous nightmare approached him. The dragon opened its mouth and prepared to take a bite out of him.

Hiccup over out of the way and blocked its teeth with his shield. Something seemed out of place as Toothless watched the fight go on. Dragons don't normally attack one of their our without reason.

"Someone or something is interfering with this match." Toothless thought, but there wasn't much he could do without doing something extreme. Hiccup and the nightmare fought for what felt like hours, but was really a few minutes. And Hiccup was losing his fight and was soon disarmed by the dragon with its tail.

Hiccup slowly backed himself against the wall fearing his end. Unaware of Toothless's presence as the nightmare drew closer and closer to them. Toothless could see it drawing it fire from it's belly.

Before Hiccup could blink, Toothless stepped in to save them both. Changing into the nightfury form, Toothless fired a blast at it's head. Knocking the nightmare backwards slightly, but enough to free them from their previous spot.

Meanwhile, the crowd was a mixture of stunned, speechless, anger, etc... Valka herself held a hand to her mouth and silently utter: No...

Shortly after Toothless changed them, the nightmare stopped and looked at the villagers. Growling at it's capturers in hate, but did nothing about it.

However, before the two dragon could do anything. Villagers swarmed from the entrance and from above, with weapons and shields. Neither dragon did anything to stop this as they were outnumbered. But that didn't stop the nightmare from giving a good fight before being captured again.

The two were eventually knock out and that was that...
