Sorry the last one ended with a cliffy, but to make up for it there is a LOT of drama in this one, so get ready for a bitch fight (throws fist in the air). Please don't hate me for this, see, I thought it was starting to get boring and that there should be a fight, and, well, heh heh, whoops (tugs collar nervously as sweat trickles down neck) on with the story then.

The nadder flew out, shooting an array of blue and orange sparks at them. Aster and Hiccup, who were leading, brought their shields out in front of them, protecting the group.

Gobber's voice rang out through the arena.

"Nadders are quick and light on their feet, your job, is ta be quicka' end lighterr(remembering he has a thick Scottish accent)"

the group had split up by now.

The nadder began chasing the teens, picking them off one by one, it got Fishlegs first, during one of his rants, it got the twins second, due to the noise they made in it's blind-spot, it got Snotlout third, due to her over-excessive ego, and finally, all that were left in the ring were it, hiccup, and aster.

Hiccup had her eyes scanning for any sign of it (because she already knows how to speak to a nightfury, duh.). suddenly she heard something. A battle cry, it sounded like, "Aster," she whispered quietly, to herself.

She looked up and saw him coming at her from the top of the maze, the Nadder following closely. Realizing he was going to be where she was in a couple of seconds, she moved two steps to the right as Aster landed, narrowly avoiding being trampled upon.

Aster landed on the soil, he got up, spitting it out, rage filling his ice-blue eyes as he turned around to face the beast.

When hiccup had moved, she'd accidentally left her shield on the ground, so Aster's axe was, thankfully, stuck in it.

'this is for embarrassing me in front of hiccup,' he thought, as he swung his axe at the Nadder's head.

Hiccup watched this all happen before her, slightly breathless from the invigorating, but slightly tiring, run, so she was in no shape to react when Aster turned back to her, his eyes screaming 'bloody murder', no doubt filled with blood lust due to his post-battle glow, which clearly had him in the moment.

"You," he said, his axe pointed at her.

She held up her hands, "me?"

"Yes you, you, spoilt, cowardly, impetuous, brat!" he seethed, "Is this some kind of joke to you!? Our parent's war is about to become ours, figure out which side you're on!"

hiccup got so angry she threw all safety and precaution to the wind, "I don't care which side I'm on as long as I'm with toothless," she clamped her hands over her mouth when she realized she may have just jeopardized their secrets.

"Toothless, who's toothless?"

"No one, just my pet, um, ferret…."

"Your ferret, huh, and, if I may ask, why did you clamp your mouth when you said his name?" he said, "after all, if he is just a ferret…"

"Look Aster," she said, glaring hard at him, "I don't have to explain myself to you, so why don't you leave me be and get back to inflicting your fury on some baby bunnies or something, yeah?" she said.

The crowd, who'd all been watching the argument like a tennis match gasped.

"oh no she didn't," said Gobber.

"oh yes she did," smirked Snotlout, happy at where the outcome was headed.

"Sure, and while I'm at it, why don't you get back to destroying the village and creating more work for us and your dad," said Aster.

If you thought the crowd gasped loud at hiccup's comment it was nothing compared to the gasp they gave to Aster's comment.

Gobber wanted to step in so badly, but knew if he did, then hiccup would look weak, and looking weak in front of the people she would one day rule over probably wouldn't be the best thing, so he decided to stay quiet as long as no weapons came into play.

At this time, it was taking all hiccup had not to attack Aster, so she just took deep breaths and thought of toothless.

"Aster….." said Fishlegs, noticing the tears that were threatening to spill over his old friend's eyes.

"Admit it hiccup," aster continued, still in full-on rage mode, "You're nothing but a screw-up, and the only reason you're still on this island is because your dad is the island chief and you're the heir, and believe me, we all know he's sure been thinking about it. he's just waiting to get you married so you'll be out of his hair and the island will be safe again, gods hiccup, you're more destructive than the dragons!"

this was it, not even Gobber could move. The teens all held their breaths.

hiccup took a breath, her eyes threatening to shed tears, but all she said, in her calm, quiet voice was, "you know Aster, I don't care what you think about me, I don't care what the island, heck, even the archipelago, thinks about me, but I do know one thing. Being destructive, and accident prone, like me, that's one thing, but being a monster like you," she laughed, "that's something else. Goodbye." And with that, she ran off in the direction of the woods, leaving a gaping Aster and a shocked audience behind.

(takes deep breath) ok, so, as you can all see, that was a VERY dramatic scene and, wow, just, wow (thinks of Aster and Hiccup's words). Ok, well, thnx to fanfic, I don't have to study for English, you cant really study for maths and I think my grades are good enough to get A's on my science and French exams so I'm done-ish ('cause I'm still re-re-re-re-re reading a certain chapter on science where I got the WORST GRADE EVER on a test. 78% I know, disgraceful) with studying for exams and can update more frequently. P.s. I know I changed a bit of the wording from the fight clipping that I posted as a spoiler, but there had been corrections I had to make and I figured some of those sentences could be structured a little better, so….
