"This is stupid." Tuffnut grumbled.
"You had to pick the weirdest song to sing." Snotlout grumbled.
"I know she`ll like it besides, you got a blind date." Hiccup replied.
"Oh shut up, I`m just going to try and get it over with as fast as possible." Snotlout grumbled.
Soon they reached city hall.
"You ready?" Tuffnut asked Hiccup.
"Yeah I`m ready." Hiccup said witth a sigh
Snotlout and Tuffnut opened the door for Hiccup who walked into the city hall. The place was packed do to the fact that it was dinner time. Then Hiccup saw where Astrid and her mom were sitting. He began walking over, Snotlout and Tuffnut following him, then when they got within 50ft of the table Hiccup began to sing.
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips. And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips. You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
Then all the guys in the room joined in
But baby, baby I know it... You've lost that lovin' feeling, Whoa, that lovin' feeling, '''You've lost that lovin' feeling, Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh'.
Astrid was bright red by this point
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you. And now you're starting to criticize little things I do. It makes me just feel like crying, (baby). 'Cause baby, something in you is dying.
Across the room Stoick was laughing
You lost that lovin' feeling, Whoa, that lovin' feeling, You've lost that lovin' feeling, Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.
Hiccup dropped down to his knees
if you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.
Astrid`s mom had her daughter stand up
We had a love...a love...a love you don't find every day.
Someone held up a candle and began waving it slowly through the air
so don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.
Baby (baby), baby (baby), I beg of you please...please, I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love), So bring it on back (So bring it on back), Bring it on back (so bring it on back).Bring back that lovin' feeling, Whoa, that lovin' feeling Bring back that lovin' feeling, 'Cause it's gone...gone...gone, and I can't go on, noooo...Bring back that lovin' feeling, Whoa, that lovin' feeling Bring back that lovin' feeling, 'Cause it's gone...gone...
The crowd cheered as the two stopped dancing, and then Astrid glanced over at her mom who nodded in approval. Then hand in hand the couple left the city hall. Meanwhile Snotlout was searching the shoreline for his date. Then he spotted her and he felt the urge to strangle somebody. Ruffnut was sitting on a picnic blanket; she appeared to be waiting for him. Snotlout sighed and walked over to her.
"What`s up?" He asked sitting down on the blanket.
Ruffnut raised an eyebrow.
"Wait are you my…"
"Yup." Snotlout replied.
Oh I thought I was waiting for Hiccup. Ruffnut murmured.
"Nah, he and Astrid are pretty much back together now." Snotlout replied.
A minute or two passed.
"So…how`s the weather?" Snotlout asked.
3 small canoes drifted up onto the beach. Vorsarax and Triton disembarked from one of them. While Kazar warriors equipped with battle armor, spears and shields followed the two.
"We mustn't be seen, keep your heads down." Triton whispered.
The Kazar strike team nodded in response.
"How far to his prison?" Triton asked Vorsarax.
The weredingo sniffed the air, and then snorted.
"A kilometer or so." he replied.
"Good, let's go we shouldn't keep him waiting." Triton sneered.
Hiccup and Astrid walked side by side in the quiet potato fields. Toothless followed them, but he seemed pretty mellow. He didn't seem to be very happy that Astrid was back, and then Hiccup realized that something else might be wrong with him.
"Toothless, what's wrong bud?" Hiccup asked the dragon.
Toothless shook his head, attempting to disregard the question.
"Is he sick?" Astrid asked.
"No, his scales are there normal color, no signs of fading." Hiccup replied.
"Maybe he`s hungry?" Astrid suggested.
"How, he`s eaten three times his body weight in yak meat for dinner." Hiccup grumbled.
Toothless rolled onto his back and used his claws to point at his heart.
"I think he`s upset about something." Hiccup murmured.
Then Zoey landed behind the trio.
"He`s upset about two things, both of which involving me."She explained.
"What did you do exactly?" Astrid asked.
"Well firstly, He`s upset by the fact that I don't like him the way he likes me. The second reason isn't about what I've done it's about what I'm about to do." Zoey replied.
Meanwhile Triton and Vorsarax crept through the underground catacombs of Berk.
"You better hope he`s down here." Vorsarax grumbled.
"I know he is I can feel it." Triton replied.
"It could also be the feeling of an empty stomach because we never ate like you said we would." Vorsarax snarled.
"Shut up you worthless mutt." Triton hissed.
Then they saw a massive stone door with a pearl in its center.
"We`re here." Triton said with an evil grin.
The Atlantian prince took out his war fork, pointed at the pear and shot a blast of electricity at it. The pearl turned red and the massive door opened.
"Now things get interesting." Triton sneered
Zoey stood in front of the citizens of Berk, preparing to reveal her true identity to them.
"Vikings of Berk!" Zoey said through a loudspeaker in her chest.
"I apologize for deceiving you, but I promise you that my intentions were of a pure heart."
"What are you talking about?" Tuffnut shouted.
Zoey sighed and allowed her holographic skin to dissipate. The crowd gasped in fear and awe.
"I disobeyed my programming by joining you; my original objective was to eliminate the key leaders of your tribe. But I did not. Now I must warn you that as we speak Triton and Vorsarax may have infiltrated this island and are planning to release threat far greater than anything you could imagine."
"She`s one of their war machines!" A Viking shouted.
Several Vikings tossed grappling hooks at Zoey, which hooked into her armor plating.
"You don't understand, HE`S COMING!" Zoey pleaded.
Toothless quickly charged in to defend his ally. He roared at the Vikings who were attempting to tie Zoey up. Soon Hiccup and Astrid were at his side attempting to diffuse the situation. Zoey did little to fight her attackers, she could have killed them all if she wanted too, but she was still trying to be diplomatic.
"Please you have to listen to me there isn't much time!" She shouted.
Then Stoick walked into the chaos,
UNTIE HER NOW! He shouted.
"Unless you want to be the next addition in Toothless` chew toy collection."
The Vikings quickly freed Zoey and backed away from a growling Toothless.
"Who`s coming?" Astrid asked.
"Dreganaught." Zoey said as if the name was cursed.
Vorsarax watched as Triton examined the massive automaton that was being held to the floor by two massive energy cuplinks, which ran from the wrists of the massive machine down into the floor connected by beams of blue energy. They were being powered by two large crystal formations. Which Triton was now preparing to destroy in order to set the machine free. In a single blast of electricity Triton destroyed one of the formations, and then he destroyed the other one. The automaton was a massive silver, black and gold dragon. It had strange red colored bull like horns on the sides of its head. The dragon's spine had a row of red spikes down it. The creatures eyes were bloody red and it looked as if strange red hieroglyphic symbols covering its body. The dragon's wings had rips, holes and claw marks in numerous places, the tail had a diamond shape steel blade at its tip. The machines mouth had six rows of eight hundred razor sharp shark like teeth. On its lower back, near its rear legs there were two rectangle like rockets that appeared to be its primary source of thrust for flying. The automaton roared to life after Triton destroyed its bonds. The dragon stretched its wings and then with a roar that knocked everyone off their feet the dragon ignited its rockets and flew out of the chamber. The machine landed just outside the entrance to the catacombs were it waited for Triton to catch up with him.
"Lord Dreganaught, it is a great honor." Triton said bowing respectfully to the mechanical monster.
"Triton you spineless vermin, what took you so long to come and find me?" Dreganaught said telepathically.
"My apologies my lord, things have been difficult the Vikings and Dragons are allies. Red death failed to keep these two worlds apart." Triton explained.
Dreganaught growled in frustration.
"Who is to blame for this?" He snarled.
"A boy named Hiccup and his dragon Toothless, a Night Fury."
"I will destroy this boy before he becomes a man." Dreganaught said with a growl.
Then the dragon jumped into the air, ignited his rockets, and flew off to Atlantis. Triton and Vorsarax simply got in their canoes and started rowing back.
A dragon shaped blur flew past Ruffnut and Snotlout who were sharing a pumpkin pie. The blur left a sharp booming sound in his wake that knocked Ruffnut and Snotlout onto their backs.
"What the heck was that?" Ruffnut said after her ears stopped ringing.
"What?!" Snotlout asked hitting the side of his head.
"Never mind." Ruffnut said taking a bite out of her piece of pie.
"You know, you're not so bad." Snotlout told his date.
Ruffnut blushed. Then she saw three canoes heading out to sea.
"Who goes there!" She shouted. A few seconds past before a spear sailed over her head, followed by a flash of lightning.
"Triton." Snotlout said with a scowl.
Then he glanced at Ruffnut.
"We`d better go warn the others. Something's up."
Ruffnut nodded and the two took off towards the village. Leaving the local wildlife to eat the remainder of their pie.
"You can't keep rescuing me." Zoey told Toothless.
"I can take care of myself in case you haven't figured that out yet."
The Night fury made an angry gurgling sound before going to stand by Hiccup and Astrid.
"It took me forever to get Astrid, just give it some time." Hiccup whispered to the Night fury.
Then Ruffnut and Snotlout rushed into the crowd.
"Triton is here, he`s spying on us!" Ruffnut shouted.
"He tried to kill us…again!" Snotlout shouted.
"It has begun." Zoey said after cursing in Ancient Greek.
"Listen to me, all of you." Zoey shouted into her loudspeaker.
"Dreganaught has risen the end of days is upon us. We must prepare for a full scale military mobilization; we must attack Atlantis at its heart so that we can deter this threat, or better yet destroy it completely!"
"Zoey is right; we must ready the Valkyrie for her maiden voyage." Stoick announced.
Yes, Hiccup thought to himself, his dad was going to actually use one of his blueprints.
"Everyone return to your homes and get a good night's rest, tomorrow we make final preparations to destroy Atlantis, ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Stoick shouted.
The crowd cheered and everyone went off to their homes. Hiccup and Astrid however snuggled up next to each other under a pine tree.
"I can't wait to kick some serious butt." Astrid said with excitement.
"Yeah." Hiccup said drearily.
"It should be fun."
"You must be really tired." Astrid told him.
"You think?" Hiccup grumbled.
"Whoa, looks like I hit a nerve." Astrid teased.
"Sorry, you're right though I'm so tired." Hiccup murmured.
Astrid gently touched the burn on Hiccup`s neck, but he barley flinched which surprised her.
"My dad beat you up pretty bad." Astrid mumbled.
"Not any worse than when I lost my foot." Hiccup grumbled looking at his prosthetic limb.
"I`m worried about Toothless." Astrid said with a sigh.
"Yeah, he seems bummed about Zoey." Hiccup mumbled.
"He`ll get over it…hopefully." Astrid said with a yawn.
Then she fell asleep. Hiccup had to fight in order to stay awake. He`d gone without sleep for three or four days, but eventually he lost the will to stay awake and his eye lids slowly began to shut. He felt his mind becoming blank; as he fell asleep he forgot his name.
