Everybody have a past, even dragons and sometimes the past can come back to haunt them and when it does, you're going to need to be there for them.
It was morning on Berk and the first thing people saw when they woke up was a large hole in the middle of the plaza. Some Vikings cam to investigate including Hiccup and Toothless, the moment Toothless got there he stuck his head in and sniffed, he let out a roar and reared up.
Whoa, whoa, take it easy, bud. It's just a hole." Hiccup said trying to calm him down.
"It's not just a hole! It's like an underground village!" Bucket's voice echoed from the hole.
Everyone looked down and saw Bucket standing at the bottom of the hole. "Bucket! There you are. I've been looking for you all night!" Mulch said looking down at the hole.
"Sorry Mulch… But I think I finally found it… My happy place!" Bucket said then a bunch of dirt and dust flew through the hole and tossed him out of the hole. He landed on the ground and everyone rushed over to him.
"Are you alright, Bucket?" Stoick asked.
"I'm not so happy anymore." Bucket said as he sat up.
"What happened?" Stoick asked.
"Something pushed me out, something's down there. Something big." Bucket said frightfully.
Toothless looked into the hole and had his teeth bared, and leapt into the hole and disappeared without anybody noticing.
All of a sudden everyone heard what sound like whispers coming from within the hole and the ground began to shake. "What's that noise?" Astrid asked.
"Whatever it is, it's giving me the willies." Gobber responded.
Suddenly a giant green spiked dragon, with an eel or snake-like body with a large head and white eyes erupts of the hole and hovered above them.
"Whoooooaaaaa, look at the size of that thing." Snotlout said staring.
"Do I have to!?" Fishlegs asked whimpered.
"That thing is looks about the same size as Skull." Ragnar said.
"Dragons, everyone!" Astrid ordered.
All the Viking teens apart from Hiccup got on their dragons. The dragon looked at all of the dragons with its big white eyes.
"Uhhhhh, I don't like the way it's eyeballing me." Snotlout said a little nervous.
"Uh, don't worry, it's not just you." Fishlegs said assured.
"Thanks, big relief!" Snotlout said rolling his eyes.
Then all of a sudden the dragon dived back into the ground and disappeared.
"What, was, that?" Astrid asked stunned.
"Whatever it was I want one!" Tuffnut yelled in excitement.
"If I had to take a guess, I'd say that was, a Whispering Death." Fishlegs said
"Whoa, great name. So much better than Hideous Zippleback." Tuffnut said.
"Where'd it go? Why's it here? What's it going to do to us!? Why aren't you slapping me to snap me out of this!?" Bucket asked standing on a barrel in freight.
"Because I'm scared too, Bucket." Mulch said standing on a barrel as well.
Then the Whispering Death busted from the ground creating a new fresh hole. "Ah, it looks angry. Why don't you do that think where you touch its nose and feed it grass?" Gobber suggested to Hiccup.
"Okay, Uh, Fishlegs, what do we know about the Whispering Death?" Hiccup asked.
"Boulder class, razor-sharp teeth, incredibly strong, hunts from underground." Fishlegs said.
"Now, I really want one." Tuffnut said.
"You can marry one, after we deal with the giant rock eating dragon in front of us." Ragnar said sarcastically.
"So, how do we deal with this thing?" Snotlout asked a bit forcefully.
"Stand back everyone!" A Stoick voice boomed. Everyone looked up and saw Stoick flying towards them on Thornado. "Thornado's got something to say to this beast!" Thornado then fired a sonic blast at the Whispering Death but it remained unharmed and unaffected by the attack.
"I don't think it's got its listening ears on." Gobber said.
"Alright, let's run this thing out of here!" Astrid said.
Everyone then got their dragons to fly up into the air to join Stoick and Thornado. Suddenly Toothless emerges from the hole and growled at the other dragons, he made a head gesture for the others to back away.
"What's Toothless doing?" Snotlout asked.
"I think he wants us to back off." Astrid said.
"No problem here." Fishlegs said.
The Whispering Death spikes shot up as it looked straight at Toothless.
"Toothless!" Hiccup called.
The Whispering Death dove for Toothless but he leapt out of the way and tackled the larger dragon to the ground by biting hard on its tail. The Whispering Death flew back up into the air and hovered there. Toothless then fired three plasma blasts at it which the Whispering Death dodged. Toothless then attempted to fly but couldn't, due to his tail. The Whispering Death saw this and flew a bit higher into the air.
"Toothless can't fly without me. He's a sitting duck." Hiccup said.
"And I think that dragon likes duck." Ragnar said worriedly.
Stoick then landed back onto the ground next to Gobber. "Gobber, man the catapults, and when that thing is clear of Toothless, Fire!" Stoick said as he got off of Thornado.
"Dad wait!" Hiccup said then ran for Toothless. "Just let me help you bud." But Toothless shoved him away and knocked him over. "What? Toothless, what… what's wrong?" Toothless's only response was to do a double-take then growl in his direction before he began to head back to the Whispering Death.
"What was that all about?" Astrid asked.
"I have no idea." Hiccup said getting up.
The Whispering Death roared once again and flicked its long tail, spikes flew out just like it would with a Deadly Nadder and it hit Toothless in his back leg.
"Gobber!" Stoick commanded.
Gobber launched a boulder from a catapult and hit the Whispering Death on its head; he coiled up and growled in the direction of the catapult. Gobber lunched another boulder and hit it in the face again. Then suddenly the Whispering Death retreated down into the hole, just as sunlight fell on it, carving a new path underground.
Hiccup ran up to Toothless and saw the spike in his leg. "Oh, no. You're hurt." Hiccup said. Toothless growled in response but eased up when he looked back and saw Hiccup his eyes softened and Hiccup pulled the spike out. The moment it was out he quickly ran up and past the doors of the Great Hall and looked at the direction the Whispering Death retreated. "Toothless, wait!"
"Where's he going?" Astrid asked.
"Probably running away to lick his wounds." Snotlout mocked and laughed.
"It's not funny. Toothless could've been killed. He can't fly, remember?" Hiccup said glaring.
"And whose fault is that?" Snotlout smirked.
"Seriously, did you just go there?" Astrid asked.
"Hey, I call it like I see it." He said.
"Uh, does anybody want to talk about what in the name of Thor just happened?" Fishlegs asked.
"Uh, dragon fight? Just another day on Berk." Tuffnut answered as if it was obvious.
"Uh, not really. It seemed like there was way more to it than that." Fishlegs said.
"He's right. The Whispering Death singled Shadow and Toothless out." Hiccup said.
"And Toothless wanted that dragon all to himself." Astrid added.
"He didn't even let you help him in that fight." Ragnar said.
"Yeah, he certainly did. But why?" Hiccup said looking up at Toothless.
"In my visions I saw Toothless fighting that Whispering Death and it looked like a battle to the death." Ragnar said.
"Uh, are we going to be tested on this? Because I am completely confused." Tuffnut said.
"Hey, don't look at me." Ruffnut said.
As Toothless looks off toward where the Whispering Death headed, Hiccup wouldn't help but worry about him.
Later that night at Hiccup's house Ragnar was fixed up Toothless' leg up in Hiccup's room. While Hiccup petted Toothless trying calm him down a bit.
"I really wish you could just tell me what was going on out there today." Hiccup said.
Then they heard someone coming up and Toothless became tensed getting ready for a fight. Hiccup saw that it was his dad coming up.
"Whoa easy bud, it's just my dad." Hiccup said calming him down.
"How's our wounded warrior?" Stoick asked.
"Just a flesh wound, nothing to worry about." Ragnar said packing his stuff away.
"But, he's still a little on edge, dad." Hiccup said.
"Don't worry, y Toothless. I think we showed that Dragon a thing or two about uninvited guests on Berk." Stoick said as he patted Toothless' head. "I don't think he'll be coming back any time soon. At least I hope not." He then walked back down stairs.
"Yeah, me too." Hiccup said.
"Okay, that should do it Toothless, you just need to take it easy." Ragnar said and get up and started to leave. "I don't know about you guys, but I think it's time to hit the hay."
"That is a good idea." Hiccup said walking over to his head.
Toothless got in his bed as well and did his little fire thing and lay down. Hiccup took on last look at Toothless and closed his eyes.
When he woke up the next morning the first thing he saw was that Toothless' bed was empty.
"Toothless… oh no!" Hiccup said. Hiccup didn't waste a second he ran downs stairs and ran outside saw that Toothless was no were to be seen. "He went after that dragon. Alone." Hiccup said worriedly.
Later that day Hiccup explained to the other Viking about that Toothless disappeared and about is suspicion that he went after the Whispering Death.
"Maybe Toothless just went for a morning flight? Oh, that's right… he can't." Snotlout mocked.
"Really?" Astrid said glaring at him and began to walk towards him ready to give him a deserving punch. "You're going there again? Now!?"
Hiccup stopped her and looked at the others. "Toothless must be looking for the Whispering Death. We find it, we find Toothless." Hiccup said.
"What do we do if we find the Whispering Death first?" Fishlegs asked.
"Well, we train him." Hiccup said bluntly.
"You know he's got 'death' in his name, right?" Tuffnut asked.
"Is there anything in the Book of Dragons that can help us?" Hiccup asked. Fishlegs opened the Book of Dragons and flipped through it.
"It can shoot razor sharp spines from any part of its body." Fishlegs said reading the page.
"And how's that going to help?" Astrid asked.
"Well, it would help if we stayed away from those." Fishlegs said
"Or we can get near them and use Ruffnut as a human shield." Tuffnut suggested and got himself kicked in the leg by Ruffnut. "Ow, my kneecap, that's new… I like it."
"This dragon must have a weakness." Hiccup said.
"Actually no. It says right here 'no known weaknesses'." Fishlegs said.
"Heh, I really love this thing." Tuffnut said.
"Okay, great, uh, can we go now, please?" Hiccup said and climbed on up Stormfly. "We don't know how much time we have." He said as he helped Astrid up.
"Don't worry, Hiccup. We'll find him." Astrid assured him.
They then flew out of the arena and began to search for the Whispering Death and Toothless.
The Viking teens were flying over the forest in attempts to track Toothless and the Whispering Death, hoping to either find Toothless first and snap him back to his senses or find the Whispering Death and train it.
"There, down below." Hiccup said and pointed at a couple of hole in the ground. The dragons all went down and landed, Hiccup jumped off and cupped his hands around his mouth. "Toothless? Toothless!"
"How do we even know the Whispering Death made these holes?" Snotlout smirked.
"So you think it might be the other 2,500 pound, rock-eating dragon we're following?" Astrid smirked.
"I know what you're- don't try to confuse me!" Snotlout said.
"He was definite here." Ragnar said picking up a fang that was on the ground next to the hole and handed it to Hiccup.
"He must've lost a tooth." Hiccup said examining it.
"Is it sharp? If it is I want it! I like sharp!" Tuffnut said.
"Yeah, sharp is good." Ruffnut followed.
"Think about this; hundreds of those spinning together, ripping through dirt and tree roots. Discarding rock like it's not even there!" Fishlegs said.
The dragons then began to growl and began to retreat into themselves fearfully. "Stormfly, what's wrong?" Astrid asked.
"Barf, calm down." Ruffnut said.
"Stop! Listen." Hiccup silenced all of them, even the dragons quieted down for a moment.
"Listen for what?" Tuffnut asked.
"I don't hear anything." Ruffnut said. "What are we listening for?"
"Be quiet!" Astrid yelled.
"How are we supposed to hear anything over their yelling?" Tuffnut asked.
"Shh!" She said.
Everyone was quiet and they heard the same whispers that they heard at the village. All of a sudden the ground began to shaking.
"The whisper…" Fishlegs said getting scared.
"Looks like we beat Toothless." Snotlout said nervously.
"Yeah, we win." Astrid said.
At that moment the Whispering Death bust out of the ground. "I'm not feeling like a winner." Fishlegs said whimpering. The Whispering Death then growled at him me and leaned in towards him. "Hi… um… I like the teeth."
I stood up and looked in its milky white eyes. It was glaring at me, that much was clear but he wasn't attacking. My eyes were determined and he finally broke the staredown between us to look at everyone else.
The Whispering Death coiled up and looked at the dragons and with a growl it dove back underground.
"I hate it when he does that. Can you at least tell me why he does it?" Snotlout asked. That question made everyone turn towards me and Fishlegs.
"Maybe to hunt." Fishlegs suggested and got no response. "Maybe because it's cooler." No response. "Or maybe to look for water." No response. "Or maybe he can't stand the pressure of everyone always expecting him to have the answers!"
"He's losing it." Tuffnut said to his sister.
"I know it's awesome." Ruffnut said.
The Whispering Death shot up out of the ground behind Fishlegs and sent him running. "Hold it still! I want to touch it." Tuffnut said and began to walk towards it, but Ruffnut pulled him back.
"I think its looking for Toothless." Ragnar said.
At that moment Hiccup walked towards it. "Do you actually have a plan, or are you just trying to get yourself killed?" Astrid asked.
"If I can train it, it'll leave Toothless alone." Hiccup said and continued to walk towards it.
"So, you're trying to get yourself killed?" Snotlout said smirking.
"Hiccup, I hate to tell you this, but some dragons just can't be train. Remember the Red Death?" Ragnar yelled.
"I've got to try." Hiccup said.
The Whispering Death then charged straight at Hiccup. Hiccup quickly turned his head away and outstretched his hand. Hiccup felt the dirt fly up around him. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw the Whispering Death was only a few inches from his hand. It tilted its head a bit towards it and had gotten very close, but then the Whispering Death pulled back quickly and growled once again and it dove back into the ground.
Hiccup ran to the hole and looked down it. "Okay?" Hiccup questioned.
"Um, I know what you're thinking and the answer is no." Astrid said. Hiccup then jumped down into the hole. "Why does he always do that?" She said shaking her head.
"He wouldn't be Hiccup otherwise." Ragnar said.
Then she, Ragnar, Fishlegs and Snotlout walked towards the hole. "Oh, man. I am so glad I'm not down there with him right now." Fishlegs said looking down into the hole.
Snotlout then pushed Fishlegs into the hole. "Opps." He said looking at Astrid and Ragnar.
Meanwhile in the hole Fishlegs landed at the bottom of it and Hiccup turned to look at him.
"Thanks Fishlegs. I kind of figured you'd be the last one to volunteer." Hiccup said.
"Yeah! I didn't want you to have to face that thing all alone." Fishlegs lied.
"This things been busy." Hiccup said looking at all the tunnels in the walls.
"Quick question, why are we down here again?" Fishlegs asked.
"This is where it spends all of its time. There's got to be something down here that can help us." Hiccup said. He then saw the Whispering Death a pass by through on of the tunnels. "There it goes, let's follow it"
Fishlegs was silent then he saw Hiccup was looking at him. "Oh, you were talking to me?" He said.
"Who else would I be talking to?" Hiccup asked. "Besides Fishlegs, new dragon. You love this stuff."
"I hate that about me." Fishlegs muttered and followed Hiccup into the tunnel.
They walked through the tunnel, keeping their eyes and ears open. As they walked through they saw several more tunnels it was like a maze. Shafts of light occasionally shone down from wide holes in the ceiling lighting their way. Tree roots decorated the tops of most of the tunnels.
They turned to a hole where two green eyes watched them. They didn't look friendly in the least. Fishlegs gasped a bit, Hiccup backed up. The eyes turned out to belong to a sheep.
It took off running down the tunnel. Hiccup and Fishlegs took a deep sigh of relief and began to continue to search. They only took a few steps before the Whispering Death's head shot out of another tunnel and growled.
They all jumped into the nearest hole and kept themselves quiet. The large dragon slithered on past without noticing them. Once it saw a bit of sunlight that shinned through a hole at the top of tunnel it slithered past it.
"Hiccup, did you see-?" Fishlegs began but was cut off when the Whispering Death turned around and growled.
Hiccup clamped a hand firmly over his mouth and pulled him deeper into the hole. "Can it wait?" Hiccup whispered and Fishlegs nodded. He let go of him after only a couple of seconds. "Let's just hope it keeps going."
Suddenly the Whispering Death stopped in its tracks. All they could see of it was its long tail "How'd that work for us?" Fishlegs asked. Fishlegs then noticed something on its tail and nudged Hiccup and point him at the Whispering Death's tail. Hiccup looked at what Fighlegs was pointing at and saw an old bite mark that looked very familiar. Then the Whispering Death finally slithered away. "Did you see that?"
"Was that a bite mark?" Hiccup said.
"No just any bite mark, that's a Night Fury bite mark. I think I know why these two are looking for each other." Fishlegs said.
"They have a history." Hiccup said.
"A grudge." Fishlegs added darkly.
"If that's true, how long do dragons carry a grudge?" Hiccup asked.
"To the death." Fishlegs said.
It took Hiccup a while to let that sink in. Finally Hiccup broke the silence. "Let's get out of here before he comes back." Hiccup said.
"That is a really good idea." Fishlegs said.
They ran down the tunnel, but then the Whispering Death burst out from the darkness of a tunnel. Fishlegs fell back and Hiccup pulled him to the side as the Whispering Death dove towards him then came up on the other side of us avoiding the sunlight beaming down from a hole.
Meanwhile at the top Astrid was getting very worried about them.
"They've been down there forever." Astrid said getting worried.
"They've been down there for five minutes. I'm sure their alright." Ragnar said.
Then they heard footsteps from inside the hole. "Hiccup! Fishlegs!" Astrid yelled into the hole.
"Yep, right here." Hiccup said as he and Fishlegs stopped under the opening.
"Did you see the Whispering Death?" Tuffnut asked. "Was it cool?"
"Did you touch it?" Ruffnut asked.
"I want to touch it!" Tuffnut said elbowing her.
"Can we talk about this later? We really need to get out of this tunnel." Fishlegs said.
Astrid looked up and saw that something a trail of disturbed earth was making its way towards them. "Yeah, you do." She said.
"Guy's behind you!" Ragnar yelled.
They turned around and saw the Whispering Death was coming up towards them and coming up fast. "Fishlegs, you go first." Hiccup said.
"No argument here." Fishlegs said then stepped on Hiccup's hands that he held out to lift him.
"Grab my hand." Astrid ordered and pulled him up out of the hole with help from the other Viking teens.
"Hiccup hurry!" Astrid yelled and reached back down for him.
Hiccup tried to reach her, but his hand wouldn't reach. "I can't reach!" Hiccup yelled.
Hiccup then jumped and their hands locked together, but Hiccup lost his grip and landed back on the bottom of the hole. Hiccup turned around and saw the Whispering Death was almost upon him.
"Everyone stand back!" Hiccup ordered and everyone moved away from the hole. Seconds later he was thrown out of the hole by a dust cloud.
"Wow, I bet he can see our house from up there." Tuffnut said looking up.
Suddenly the Whispering Death bust out of the hole and was ready to catch Hiccup in its teeth. Astrid turned to Stormfly. "Stormfly!" She yelled.
Without a second thought Stormfly flew up into the air and grabbed Hiccup, just before he landed in the Whispering Death mouth. Stormfly then dropped Hiccup back onto the ground next to the Other Viking teens.
"Thanks, Astrid." Hiccup said. They turned to see the Whispering Death was even more angry then it was before.
"I don't think it likes you in its hole." Tuffnut said.
"Yeah, I got that." Hiccup said.
"Can we get out of here?!" Snotlout shouted then whimpered "Please."
"No. I know that I can train this thing." Hiccup said. "Anybody got some dragon nip?" Dragon nip piled up in his hands in a blink of an eye. He walked towards the Whispering Death slowly. "Don't be afraid, I'm a friend. Here." He held his hands out with the dragon nip piled up in them. "You'll love this. All dragons love this."
The Whispering Death took a sniff and sneezed. The dragon nip flew all over and intoxicated the other dragons. They fell to the ground in pure bliss.
"Oh, great. Now we're defenceless." Snotlout said.
"Any ideas? I'm throwing it wide-open to the group." Hiccup asked.
"Away I see it we've got two choices, we could stay here and get eaten or we could run away." Ragnar said.
"I don't like the first opinion." Fishlegs said.
"Agreed!" Hiccup nodded.
"Right or left?" Ragnar asked.
"Right!" Snotlout yelled.
Everyone then ran away as the Whispering Death charged straight at them. It seemed to be mainly attacking Hiccup. It tried to bit him a few times and it almost got a hold of him, but then Toothless jumped out of nowhere and tackled the Whispering Death to the ground.
"Toothless!" Astrid yelled.
Toothless latched onto the back of the Whispering Death, clawing and growling and he threw it to the other side of a clearing. It got back up and growled but began to become intimidated when the other dragons got out of their near-comatose states and stepped up; ready to fight.
Toothless began to charge but the large dragon slithered back into its hole. Hiccup attempted to climb on Toothless' back but he bucked him off and growled at him.
"Bud, it's me. I know what's going on with you and that other dragon." Toothless softened a bit. "Let me help you." He reached for Toothless again but he ran away and Hiccup tried to follow him. "Toothless, come back!" Toothless then fired a plasma blast at the ground near Hiccup's feet. It threw a bunch of dirt in the air and Hiccup jumped back a bit. Toothless ran off again and Hiccup didn't follow this time.
"Awkward." Tuffnut leaned in.
Moments later the Viking teens were riding their dragons in the air, apart from Hiccup who was riding with Astrid. Hiccup had just explained by Toothless and the Whispering Death were at each other's throats.
"So Toothless has an archenemy; kind of like you and me." Snotlout said and I looked back to see if he was talking to Hiccup or me.
"Snotlout, you are not my archenemy." Hiccup said.
"Well, you're mine." Snotlout said making I'm watching you gesture.
"Toothless is just trying to protect you, Hiccup." Astrid said.
"That's not what it is." Snotlout said. "Toothless doesn't want you to ride because it's between him and the other guy. He's a fighter like me, not… whatever you are."
"I never thought I'd say this, Snotlout but I think you're right." Hiccup said.
"Wait… huh? You guys heard that, right? " Snotlout asked.
"It's not a fair fight. If Toothless is going to win, he has to fly and he can't fly without me." Hiccup said.
"So what are you saying?" Astrid asked.
"I'm saying we need to find him and soon." Hiccup said.
"But, how are you going to get on his back. He's made it clear that he doesn't what your help." Ragnar asked.
"Let me worry about that." Hiccup said.
After a few short moments of flying, we saw him running along the ground.
"There he is!" Hiccup said pointing. "Get me down there."
They landed and Hiccup approach Toothless slowly. Toothless gave a growl until he saw that it was only Hiccup. Hiccup held a hand over Toothless' head, Hiccup then hugged his head.
"Hey, bud. You had me so worried there for a while. You haven't been yourself lately. It's good to see you're still you." He said.
Suddenly the Whispering Death leapt out of the ground and growled. "You can just walk away from this, bud!" Hiccup said but Toothless didn't move an inch and just glowed at the Whispering Death. "Let's just go home." He said as he climbed onto Toothless back, but Toothless pushed him away and ran towards the Whispering Death.
"You were so close. I thought you had him!" Fishlegs said.
Toothless jumped and fired a plasma blast at the Whispering Death but missed, he couldn't fly and the Whispering Death slapped him away with its tail. He tried to fly back up to attack, but he could reach his target. The Whispering Death saw its chance and breathed a ring of fire at him sending him back down to the ground.
"He needs our help." Hiccup said as Astrid pulled him up onto Stormfly's back. The dragons charged in to help, but Toothless growled at them and they stopped.
"Come on, girl." Astrid urged but Stormfly wouldn't move.
"Skull, we got to help." Ragnar said trying to push Skull forwards.
"Hookfang won't budge." Snotlout said.
"I think ours is broken." Tuffnut said.
"They know this isn't their fight, guys." Fishlegs said.
The Whispering Death dove towards Toothless but he leapt away. It then blew out rings of fire at him and sent him near a cliff. Toothless roared at the Whispering Death and it dove underground.
With it did the cliff broke apart leaving large gap between Toothless and where the cliff rested now. The Whispering Death came back up and blew some more rings of fire at Toothless. He managed to dodge but now he was left with less room.
"Toothless!" Hiccup called.
The Whispering Death fired another ring of fire again missing Toothless. "Buddy." Hiccup said quietly. Toothless looked at him desperately and growled. He looked like he was saying sorry.
The Whispering Death fired another ring of fire and pushed Toothless closer to the edge. "He's going to knock Toothless into the canyon!" Hiccup said looking at the other Viking teens. Toothless was sliding off the edge and pulling himself back up.
Hiccup watched on with frightened eyes as the scene unfolded in front of him. Toothless was almost falling to his death into a canyon. He could only think of one thing to do, it was a gamble, but it was the only thing he could think of.
Hiccup took a deep breath and walked up to the edge of canyon and took a step forward and fell in. The Viking teens ran up to the edge with shock look on their faces.
"Hiccup!" Astrid called.
They watched as he fell and Toothless leapt for him just as the Whispering Death fired a nothing ring of fire at where he was a few seconds ago. Rocks from the ledge Toothless was on fell behind him. Luckily Toothless reached him and Hiccup climbed onto his back and placed his prosthetic leg into the stirrup and pushed down on it. The rocks fell creating a dust cloud bit Hiccup and Toothless emerged from it and fly up into the air.
"Yes!" Astrid yelled.
"I swear he only dose things like that to make me nervous." Ragnar said giving a sigh of relief.
"You save me. I save you. That's the way it is." Hiccup said as they flew toward the Whispering Death.
The Whispering Death saw them coming and fired several spikes at them but missed. It then tried to fire another ring of fire, but missed as did a plasma blast from Toothless.
Sunlight beamed through the dark clouds and momentarily blinded the Whispering Death. It dove back underground. Ragnar and Fishlegs saw this and realised that was the reason why it lived underground.
"The Sunlight Hiccup!" Fishlegs yelled as Hiccup and Toothless
"That's its weakness!" Ragnar yelled.
"Okay, bud. Let's keep him above ground." Hiccup said.
Toothless then flew over the holes the Whispering Death and fired several plasma blasts into the holes. There was a big explosion and the other Vikings watched in amazement.
"This is amazing." Ruffunt said watching the explosions.
"We've got to find you an arch nemesis." Tuffnut said talking to Barf and Belch.
Suddenly the Whispering Death flew out of a hole and flew straight into a mountain wall. It got up and growled at Toothless, only for Toothless to pin it down to the ground. Toothless looked like he was about to deal the final blow.
"Toothless, no!" Hiccup shouted.
The two dragons exchanged fierce roars for a moment then Toothless softened enough to jump off of the Whispering Death and it dug back underground and disappeared.
Just then the other Vikings flew down to join them. "Aw, man! Toothless could've finished him off!" Snotlout exclaimed.
"Well, I guess all dragon grudges aren't to the death." Hiccup said.
"I guess I'll have to change that in the book." Fishlegs said.
"Hey, bud. What do you say we go home?" Hiccup said and they all flew off.
Later that day Hiccup and Toothless seal off the holes with large boulders to make sure no one falls into them accidently.
When our past rears its ugly head, it usually doesn't have six rows of razor-sharp teeth and a bad attitude. If it does, you're going to need a great friend who has your back. I know that Hiccup will always have Toothless's back and he will always have his.
