Hi Guys!
Here's the next chapter, sorry it took so long!
But here's Chapter 14 - Dragon Rescue:
"Okay, it's time. You guys need to stay here; I'll be back and hopefully with the dragons from the kill ring. Stay here." Hiccup smiled at his dragons as he left the cove and headed towards the kill ring.
Once Hiccup got to the kill ring he found the other teens waiting outside for him, he explained the plan to them once again before proceeding. The twins quietly opened the gate to the ring before everyone entered. Snotlout then closed the gate and tried to stand next to Astrid but she walked away as soon as he got close.
"Ready?" Hiccup asked the Vikings, they all looked nervous, except Astrid, who gave an encouraging smile to Hiccup. The teens doubtfully nodded as Hiccup took Inferno out of his belt and made the fiery blade come out of the hilt.
"Okay, we'll start with the Gronkle. Fishlegs?" Hiccup looked over at Fishlegs who was now shaking uncontrollably with fear. He stayed rooted to the spot until Astrid nudged him forward. He went and stood next Hiccup.
"Remember what I told you, if you're relaxed, the dragon's relaxed." Hiccup reminded Fishlegs as he cut the chains that held the doors to the first cage closed. They sprang open and a Gronkle slowly hobbled out, having just woken up. The gronkle's eyes were immediately drawn to the large Viking boy in a large fur tunic and tiny Viking helmet. Fishlegs whimpered slightly as the dragon approached him but bravely held his hand out and closed his eyes. The gronkle looked at Fishlegs curiously for a while until he decided he could trust this boy and he bowed his head into the boy's hand. Fishlegs flinched but soon smiled as he realised he had gained the trust of a dragon.
"Excellent Fishlegs, well done. Take the gronkle over to the other end of the ring and keep it calm. Ruffnut, Tuffnut, you're up." Hiccup pointed Fishlegs towards the end of the ring and gestured the twins over who banged heads and stumbled towards Hiccup.
Hiccup then freed the zippleback and the twins earned its trust. They lead the zippleback over to Fishlegs who was scratching the stomach of his Gronkle.
"Brilliant. Finally, we have the monstrous nightmare… Snotlout, you're turn." Hiccup prepared his sword, ready to free the dragon as Snotlout came and stood next to him.
"Now, the monstrous nightmare, will be slightly harder to deal with, I'm going to have to gain its interest with my sword, and once it's calm you can take over." Snotlout nodded and gulped as Hiccup cut the chains. The monstrous nightmare burst out and looked around. Luckily it hadn't set itself on fire, so it shouldn't have gained the rest of the village's attention.
Hiccup began moving his sword in the air, the fire left a small trail of smoke which showed where it had been. The monstrous nightmare soon noticed this and turned to watch the flaming sword, mesmerised. It soon walked over to Hiccup who whispered calming words to it; he then grabbed Snotlout's hand and placed it on the dragon's snout. Snotlout gasped as the nightmare looked at him with eyes that showed trust, and he felt what it was like to bond with a dragon.
"Alright, that's all the dragons! Now, we just have to get them back to the cove without waking the rest of the village. I suggest that we fly them back." Hiccup whispered happily. The teens looked unsure to start with but soon turned to their dragons, who had bowed their heads down, and clambered onto their backs. Hiccup sat behind Snotlout on his nightmare, and Astrid, who had been watching the whole thing, amazed at how the dragons had behaved, went and sat behind Fishlegs. The teens already had some experience flying Shiftwing and so it didn't take them long to master flying their new dragons. The only trouble they had was when the twins forgot they were riding the same dragon and began arguing. Eventually, they safely made it back to the cove where they were greeted by a relieved Shiftwing and Toothless who were glad nothing went wrong.
"That went a lot better than I thought." Hiccup exclaimed as he jumped off of the nightmare, only to be pounced on by two other dragons who were very happy to see him.
"Yes, hello Shiftwing and Toothless, I'm glad to see you guys again to. Okay, it's getting hard to breathe now, please get off!" Toothless and Shiftwing jumped off of Hiccup who sat up gasping for breath while the other teens laughed at him.
"That was amazing; I can't believe the dragons actually trusted us!" Fishlegs said as he petted his gronkle.
"I have to admit, you guys were pretty good with those dragons." Astrid admitted as she looked around at all the happy teens, her eyes meeting Hiccups. They both looked down sheepishly.
"Why thank you babe. I have to say, I think I did the best, I mean, come on, I tamed the monstrous nightmare; the most deadly dragon there!" Snotlout boasted, the teens rolled their eyes as Astrid chucked a rock which hit Snotlout in the chest and he fell back.
"I still think the plan would have worked better if we had blown everything up." Tuffnut said while still laughing at Snotlout. Ruffnut nodded in agreement but Hiccup sighed and turned to Astrid.
"You should probably get back. The dragons can stay here, I'll look after them. I don't think you should come back here tomorrow; the village will be worked up about who freed the dragons and if you guys suddenly disappear for the afternoon they might get suspicious. So, I'll see you the next day." Hiccup explained, the teens agreed and said goodbye to their dragons before leaving. Once again however, Astrid stayed behind and waited until the others were long gone before talking to Hiccup.
"That was amazing what you did today." Astrid smiled at Hiccup who smiled back.
"Thanks." Hiccup looked over at the dragons who were all playing about in the lake, he smile until he suddenly felt Astrid's arms wrap around him in a hug and her lips kiss his.
Astrid pulled away and smiled sheepishly at Hiccup before running off back to the village. Hiccup smiled as he watched her leave, he then made his way to the dragons so that he could earn their trust some more.
