Hello everyone! This is a Rise Of The Guardians, How To Train Your Dragon, Frozen, crossover. Unfortunately, I could only choose two options, so I picked Rise Of The Guardians and How to Train Your Dragon. This story actually follows the movie plots quite closely, except for Rise Of The Guardians which will be covered in part two.
Ages have been changed for everyone, because I wanted them all to be teenage if not younger at this point. It makes it more fun.
These few chapters are focused on How To Train Your Dragon. I'll try to keep the updates consistent.
Chapter Nine
The First Believer
Jack
Hiccup had bonded with the Night Fury. Perfect.
Yup, no dragon killer there. Right now, killing a dragon to him would be like murder. Very apt.
I watched him run back. I could tell he as deep in thought. (He kept almost bumping into trees…)
The recruits were all meant to be joining Gobber for dinner that night, and it was almost ending when we got there.
"—Ah, Hiccup, how nice of you to join us." He said in that strangely cheery way of his.
"Sorry, I got held up." Hiccup mumbled, taking his tray of food and sitting at the other table.
"So as I was saying," Gobber continued, "Ya gotta know what you're up against out there! We got them all recorded down."
He heaved the Dragon Almanac onto the table. "Study up."
Tuffnut looked shocked. "Wait, you mean read?"
"While we're still alive?" Ruffnut asked, agreeing with her twin for once.
"No, Ruffnut, you can read when you're dead." I told her sarcastically.
Snotlout was backing them up. "Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you about?"
"Because it helps you understand how to defeat your enemy." Astrid told him primly.
"I know, babe." He said sweetly, making her glare at him. "But I don't need any of that! I'm the best dragon-killer on Berk, remember? I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I meet then kill them!"
Gobber laughed and shook his head. "It's the wings and the tail you want, Snotlout! A downed dragon, is a dead dragon."
I turned to Hiccup. He looked horrified.
Gobber stood. "And that's why you should read that book of dragons. Learn some stuff to be ready for training tomorrow."
After he left, Snotlout, Tuffnut and Rufftnut stood to leave as well.
"Right, you guys read, we're going to go have fun." Snotlout said with a nasty grin.
"He'll be mad." Hiccup warned, rolling his eyes. "He'll cancel training tomorrow and make you read that thing."
Snotlout scoffed. "What do you know, wimp?"
"Oh, sure, don't listen to the person who had to deal with Gobber's 'teaching methods' for years." He said in an overly-aloof manner. Then he went back to eating quietly, though, deciding they weren't worth the trouble.
Fishlegs and Astrid stood. "Well, we've already read the book." She told him flippantly, and followed the others outside.
Hiccup glared at the door through which they had left as if it had personally insulted him. "So have I." He said aloud.
He put back his empty tray and began to leave. "And I've got better things to do with my time."
Hiccup
I spent the next few hours trying to design a new tail fin for Toothless and then attempting to build it. It was soft leather (brown because I couldn't find any black) and could open and close with some very thin metal rods.
Finally, when I was relatively satisfied with my work, I decided to go and try it out. It wasn't exactly that late yet, only about midnight or so.
I heaved the prosthetic tailfin, which was as big as my torso when folded up, and left the forge. I loved this time of night when everyone was asleep and the whole town was silent.
Feeling the exhilaration of saving Toothless' powers of flight, I quickened my pace to a jog.
At the back of my mind, I was deeply worried that the Night Fury might just decide to fly off and never come back again after this, and I'll be alone once more. But I really wanted to make him happy, and wouldn't blame him really if he decided to leave. Berk sucks.
Immediately upon arriving in the cove, Toothless opened his eyes, jumped down from where he had been hanging like a bat again and bounded over, seeming to sense my excitement.
"I got something for you, bud." I told him. He cocked his head and I gave him a knowing smile.
Jack
I was annoyed when Hiccup left the forge, mostly because I had fallen asleep to the familiar racket of his metalworking and the way he noisily opened the door and stumbled out woke me up.
Quite soon though, the annoyance turned to curiosity.
What the hell is he doing up at this hour? I wondered.
It soon became quite clear— he had been on his way to the cove to visit Toothless. But right then? In the middle of the night? I mean, it wasn't the first time, but still.
"I got something for you, bud." He told the Night Fury excitedly. The Night Fury ran up to us curiously.
"Right, just hold still…" he was starting to go around behind the dragon, but of course the Night Fury kept turning, not wanting to let Hiccup out of his sight.
I rolled my eyes and took a risk.
"Hey, Night Fury!" I called. It turned to look at me.
I flew over and landed beside it's head. "I wonder if this works on you like it does with the other dragons…" then I leaned over and without warning started scratching it behind the ears.
The Night Fury tensed for a second then started purring contentedly, like a cat. It crooned as I kept scratching it.
Hiccup
I moved around Toothless nervously as he enjoyed himself on the grass. Okay…
He kept flicking his tail around, again and again. I was having trouble adjusting it, so I decided to just pin it down by sitting on the end.
The tail really was very simple. There were two straps with a buckle on each to keep them in place.
I worked on spreading it open and then closing it to test whether it worked. It seemed evenly balanced and sized with the real tailfin, so—
Jack
"Night Fury, what are you doing?!" I yelled. The Night Fury had suddenly taken off into the sky, with Hiccup dangling from his tail.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Hiccup screamed. They began to plummet to the earth. Of course they would, as the Night Fury wasn't at all balanced without his other tailfin.
Suddenly, Hiccup managed to grip his legs around the tail and yank the mechanical fin open. Their flight immediately evened out.
I marveled at the structure of it. Hiccup had made it so that it was nearly an exact copy of the original except for the color… and the unfortunate drawback of someone else needing to be there to hold it and control it.
But otherwise it was great, really. Just like all of Hiccup's inventions.
Hiccup
"Yeah!" I yelled, exhilarated that it had actually worked!
Of course, I would have to figure out how to let Toothless control that tailfin.
Or maybe I could do it on my own, flying was pretty amazing…
I suddenly lost myself in a void of ideas. In a brainstorm of colors. In—
FALLING THROUGH THE AIR!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
Jack
I shot into the sky and attempted to grab onto the Night Fury's tail so that we could save Hiccup.
"You idiot!" I yelled frantically. "How the hell can you start daydreaming when you're supposed to be hanging on to the thin end of a supersonic Night Fury's tail and controlling it's flight!"
"Shut up, you stupid voice in my head!" he yelled in answer.
I blinked.
Did he just… did he just…
I'm ashamed to say that I pretty much abandoned the Night Fury then and there. "You can hear me?" I asked in disbelief.
"Of course I can, you're in my head!" he yelled over the roar of the rushing air. Then he suddenly stopped being so frantic. "Aren't you?"
I blinked. Once. Twice.
"My name is Jack Frost!" I yelled. "I'm right above you and if you can see me, then I'm coming to rescue you!"
Hiccup
"Jack Frost?" I whispered, shock and confusion striking through me.
An older teenager with silver-white hair and some western clothes suddenly appeared, flying down next to me.
"So, can you see me?" he yelled.
I nodded hurriedly, too shocked to say anything else.
Without another word, he rushed forward and grabbed me in his arms.
"Hang on." He whispered, and we began descending back to earth at an alarming speed even faster than I had originally been falling.
We soon caught up to Toothless. Jack Frost helped me onto his back and I clung onto his neck like my life depended on it, which it probably did.
Our flight evened out. I slowly opened my screwed-tight eyes to stare around.
Before, I really hadn't noticed how high we had gotten before falling but now that I was really looking, and properly at that… well, it was, to use the modern term, seriously freaking awesome.
Jack
I finally steered the Night Fury onto the ground.
Hiccup got off, looking a bit dizzy. He gave the Night Fury a pat on the head then started to leave.
For a split second, I was worried that I had just imagined the whole thing.
Then Hiccup turned slowly around.
"Jack Frost?" he asked tentively.
I stared at him. "You can really hear me?"
Hiccup nodded. "I always could."
"And now you can… you can see me?"
He nodded.
My face broke out into what I imagine was the absolute dopiest grin ever.
"Yes!" I yelled, doing a backflip. "My first ever believer!"
"I am?" he asked excitedly.
"You are!" I told him. "300 years, and you're the first one to believe!"
"That's amazing!" he yelled. Then he frowned. "But that's sad, too. You were alone for three hundred years?"
I shrugged. "Yeah. But that's okay."
"No it isn't." He insisted.
"It's fine." I told him seriously, holding him by the shoulders. "I've got you now, I've always had you. So it's fine."
He smiled faintly. "I guess so."
I nodded, satisfied.
The Night Fury crooned and butted his head in, obviously feeling left out.
"Hiya Toothless." He laughed, rubbing the top of his head.
"Scratch him behind the ears." I suggested.
Hiccup obliged without question, and Toothless began to act like a cat again.
"Cool." Hiccup's grin grew. "So is that what happened when I was fixing on the tail? You were scratching him behind the ears?"
"Yep!" I laughed.
Hiccup was scratching him fiercely with playful enthusiasm and was just scratching him around is chin when suddenly Toothless' eyes went wide and he dropped to the ground in a dead sleep.
The viking boy stared, bewildered.
I laughed. "You found his 'sleep spot', Hiccup. Every dragon has one. Usually it's somewhere about the neck."
He smiled. "How long have you known this?"
I shrugged. "Hic, I've been living around this island ever since you were a baby, and it doesn't hurt that I used to hang around loads before that too."
He looked confused.
"I kept hearing you all the time, how come I could never see you until now?" he asked, obviously puzzled.
I frowned in thought. "Well, I hadn't had anyone explain thoroughly to me, not exactly, but I got little snippets from a few spirits who were kind enough to tell me a few things…"
Reviews make me happy!
