I didn't know that this one-shot was going to be popular. I will have my Road to Victory chapter 3 up by this weekend for those who are wondering. This will be the last part of Family Reunion.
Disclaimer: I don't own How To Train Your Dragon
The gang ate quietly with a few glares at Folkmar; which he didn't seem to care and sometimes smirk at them. Usually after the Mead Hall they would dragon train but because of Folkmar and the rest of the visiting family they cannot.
Hiccup missed Toothless terribly. He would sometimes sneak out into the forest to seem him. Instead of dragon training they will just have to pretend to practice fighting them.
"Okay Folkmar welcome to the academy-er I mean Kill Ring." Hiccup fumbled.
The rest of the gang grimaced at the slip up and the fact that they have to call the academy a Kill Ring again.
Folkmar didn't seem to notice the slip up and instead admired the bin of weapons.
Folkmar turned abruptly to them all having a sudden idea.
"Who wants to do hand-to-hand combat with me?"
Fishlegs was the first to make up an excuse.
"Ooh sorry Folkmar I forgot I have to help my dad fish today..."
"Its okay fishface you wouldn't be much of an opponent anyway."
Fishlegs scurried out of the academy away from being bodily harmed.
"Jeez you know what Tuffnut isn't feeling well right now and I will have to take care of him." Ruffnut excused herself and Tuffnut who looked at her confused.
"But I am perfectly fine-"
Ruffnut quickly punches him in the face making him collapse.
"Oops see I have to go take care of him until he wakes up now." Ruffnut said shrugging.
Ruffnut drags Tuffnut's limp body out of the entrance way towards their house.
Snotlout was the next to go surprisingly. He put his hand on his ear pretending to hear something.
"Oh I think I hear my dad calling me Folkmar I will see you later."
Snotlout jogged out.
Then it was Astrid but she did not make up an excuse.
"Yeah um no I need to help my brother practice."
She kissed Hiccup's cheek and giving Folkmar a glare before leaving.
Once she left Folkmar smirked at Hiccup.
"I guess it is just you and me Hiccup."
Folkmar cracked his neck.
Hiccup gulped.
"I do not know about this Folkmar, I mean you will probably win with out even trying."
"I am a lousy fighter." Hiccup continued to insult himself so Folkmar would back off.
"Don't worry Hiccup I am not going to hurt you hard atleast."
"Come on Hiccup one round how does that sound?"
Hiccup giving up the weak approach relied on his old pal sarcasm.
Hiccup tacked off the reasons on his fingers. "Um crazy, insane, stupid."
Folkmar just shrugged and took a swing anyways.
Hiccup dodged it by a few inches from his face.
Folkmar came back at him again and kicked Hiccup in the gut.
Hiccup doubled over in pain trying to get some air to return into his lungs.
"This is revenge Hiccup for what happened last night, you made a fool of me and I will not be fooled by a runt of a hiccup!"
There is that word again runt. Hiccup hates to be called a runt. Its like Marty Mcfly with being called a chicken. (Back To The Future reference there, watch the movies they are good.)
"What did you just call me?" Hiccup said threateningly.
Folkmar smirked and crossed his arms across his chest. "A runt."
Hiccup swung a fist at Folkmar and was able to snag him in the side.
Folkmar infuriated punched Hiccup in the eyebrow causing his eyebrow to split open.
Hiccup stumbled back and held a hand above his eye.
He looked at his hand to see drops on blood on it.
Before he could recover Folkmar tackled him to the ground.
Hiccup tried to cover his face the best he could but Folkmar still got some punches in.
Hiccup let out a strangled cry of "Toothless!"
Deep in the forest a certain Night Fury had his ears perked up.
He heard the cry of his beloved owner and let a low growl.
Toothless tried to fly but fell back down flapping his wings as hard as he can but with out his tail his attempts were futile.
Toothless had no choice but to run as fast as his legs could carry him.
Folkmar was still beating on poor Hiccup.
His jaw started to swell and the blood of his split eyebrow is now rolling down the side of his face.
A sudden roar irrupted from entrance of the academy causing Folkmar to look up mid punch.
There stood an angry Night Fury his eyes in slits and smoke coming out of his nostrils.
Folkmar quickly stood up and backed up to the back wall of the academy.
Hiccup managed to make it on his all fours.
Toothless moved towards Hiccup cautiously.
Folkmar pointed at Toothless scared as hell.
"Hic-Hiccup don't move there is a Night Fur-Fury right behind you."
Hiccup looked behind him to see Toothless inching forward.
Folkmar let out a girly piercing scream.
The scream alerted the whole village.
Rodmar looked alarmed. "That sounds like Folkmar, come on!"
Stoick, Stein, Rodmar, Grima and Valka were at the house when they heard the scream and rushed to the source.
The other 5 dragon riders heard the scream too and went towards it.
They all arrive at the academy at the same time to see Folkmar backed into a wall with Hiccup on his hands and knees with Toothless beside him growling menacingly at Folkmar.
"Night Fury!" Rodmar cried.
Getting the attention of Toothless, Hiccup and Folkmar.
"Dad you have to help me!" "Quickly kill it."
The Rodmar and Stein unsheathed there swords.
Stoick finally deciding enough is enough steps in front of them.
"What are you doing Stoick!" Stein yelled at him.
Stoick stood his ground. "You are not harming that Night Fury."
The brothers looked taken back at the sudden proclamation.
Hiccup struggles to his feet.
"Stoick!" "The beast is going to kill ye boy!" Grima called from behind Valka.
"Quickly kill it!" Folkmar cried out.
Hiccup mounts Toothless.
With a shaking yet determined voice Hiccup says "We don't kill dragons we ride them."
Toothless let out a roar.
The gang cheered finally able to ride there dragons again.
They all whistled for them.
Hookfang, Meatlug, Stormfly, Barf and Belch came flying into the academy.
Their respective riders hugged them which the dragons replied back with happy warbles.
Toothless grabbed Folkmar's collar with his teeth and dragged him to Stoick.
Toothless threw Folkmar in front of Stoick.
"Hiccup!" "What happened to you?" Valka asked him.
"I will explain later mom but right joe I think we should explain everything to them." Hiccup gestured to the four family members staring at the teens dumbfounded.
Stoick nodded his head in agreement. "Come then all of you to the house we have a lot of explaining to do."
They all nodded silently and walked to the Haddock household.
Stein, Rodmar, Grima and Folkmar sat on the couch.
"Hiccup why don't you tell the story since you are the one that did it." Stoick suggested.
"Well we were 15, dragons and Vikings still hates each other."
"I was still the clumsy excuse for a Viking back then too."
"One night during a dragon raid I used one of my inventions and shot down a Night Fury, of course no one believed me, instead I get in trouble for disobeying orders."
"I track the Night Fury into this cove where the bola has it trapped."
"I was going to kill him but then I looked into his eyes and he looked at mine and I saw myself."
"I released him but he didn't kill me, he tried to take off but he couldn't because half of his tail was missing so he couldn't fly."
"I studied him for awhile and we became friends, I named him Toothless."
"I had this crazy idea to help him fly so I built the saddle, the gears and tail fin to help him fly."
"It actually worked."
"I had to keep him a secret until in the arena a was picked to face the Monstrous Nightmare which is now Hookfang."
"Toothless busted through to help me but ended getting captured."
"They used him to travel to Dragon Island where we ran into the Red Death."
Folkmar was the first to speak. "What is this Red Death?"
"The Red Death was this huge dragon who was the queen of all the other dragons forcing them to do her bidding."
"I helped train the rest of the gang to fly a dragon and stop the Red Death."
"I fought it by myself since I was the only one that could, so we had it chase us into the sky."
"Toothless's tail was burning due to a fireball so we nosedived with the Red Death after us."
"We waited until the Red Death was about to fire at us when we shot a plasma blast into it's mouth causing her wings to rip and crash into the ground."
"The Red Death ended causing a huge explosion but it's tail ended up hitting me unconscious and falling into the inferno."
Stoick picked up the story with a grave face. In fact that is what all of them looked like remembering that faithful day.
"Toothless was able to only reach Hiccup by grabbing his left foot in his mouth tightly causing puncture wounds."
"He was able to wrap himself around Hiccup to save him from being burned."
"Some of his left foot ended up being slightly burned and the puncture marks of Toothless made his left foot up to his calf unusable."
"He was still unconscious when we has to amputate it, he didn't wake up until weeks after the incident."
"By then we welcomed dragons."
"Everyone in the village owns a dragon now, we built stables, feeding stations and fire prevention systems for them."
"Even have a sport we like called dragon racing, the arena is now used as an academy to train dragons and the 6 behind me run it since they are the original riders of Berk."
Stoick finished the story breathless.
The members on the couch had guilty looks on their faces.
Stein was the first to speak after the story.
"Hiccup we are so sorry for thinking you were never a good Viking, you are the bravest one I have ever saw."
Hiccup nodded his head in acknowledgement.
Folkmar spoke since his father elbowed him in the side.
"At least you didn't lose your leg in a forge incident." He chuckled slightly.
Everyone else glared at him.
"Fine Hiccup I am sorry for the way I treated you all those years ago and for doing that to you." He gestured to his bloodied appearance."
"You did that to him?" Stoick asked with a hint of a growl.
Folkmar gulped.
Rodmar turned to the teens. "If you all would kindly leave so we can deal with Folkmar accordingly."
The teens obeyed and went to the Mead Hall.
Astrid was tending to Hiccup's face.
She brought a block of ice to Hiccup's face which Hiccup great fully accepted.
"It seems everyday Hiccup you are getting injured one way or another."
Hiccup chuckled slightly. "Well we all know Milady I am clumsy."
Astrid rolled her eyes and continued to clean the blood from his face and stitched the small cut on his eyebrow.
"Well that will scar." Astrid commented.
"Oh no my beautiful face." Hiccup said sarcastically.
Astrid punched him in the shoulder.
A few days later after Stein, Rodmar, Grima and Folkmar learned the truth they accepted their way of life.
But it was tike they all headed back home to their village and hope to train dragons there.
Stoick, Valka, Hiccup and the rest if the gang stood on the docks waiting to say goodbye to them.
"Well Stoick it has a real pleasure to see you all again and to learn the truth about dragons." Stein said before boarding the ship.
Grima and Rodmar said their goodbyes as well and boarded.
Folkmar stood in front of Hiccup.
"Hiccup my cousin I am sorry for how I treated you all those times and I would like to say you are the greatest Viking I have ever met."
Folkmar extended out his hand. Hiccup smiled and took it shaking it firmly before Folkmar boarded the long ship.
They all waved them goodbye until their boat disappeared over the horizon.
