Hiccup and Astrid stood there staring at the massive Titan wing Nadder. The dragon was black with highlights of red and orange in its wings, snout, and tail. The dragon was easily twice the size of Stormfly, making this a very difficult challenge. Taking a tentative step forward Hiccup raised his hand in an attempt to show the Nadder he meant no harm.
The Nadder unfurled its wings and rose to its full height, as it roared at Hiccup. Bracing himself from the force of the roar, Hiccup got a glimpse of what the problem might be. Drawing his new sword he laid it on the ground behind him, he took off his wrist blade and the two daggers from his belt and put them on the ground as well.
The Nadder looked at him curiously but remained alert none the less. Stepping away from his weapons, Hiccup began to slowly make his way toward the Nadder again. The Nadder surprised at this took a slight step back. The dragon looked past Hiccup to see a Nightfury, a fellow Nadder, and a small blonde haired human female. The dragon concluded that if one of its own could trust these two humans it could as well. Slowly it started to walk towards Hiccup and met him halfway.
Pleased at this Hiccup turned his head and extended his left hand, and waited. The dragon took a moment to stare at the boy, it sniffed around his hand and stared at the three creatures behind him. Taking a breath and closing its eyes it pressed its nose to the boy's palm. An unexplainable sense of calm washed over the dragon, as it opened its eyes again to see the boy smiling back.
Smiling back the dragon rose to its full height and of course began to preen and show off for its new friends.
Laughing at this Hiccup, Astrid, and the dragons all walked closer to the dragon to meet their new friend.
"First things first I guess we have to find out if you are male or female." Hiccup stated looking up at the massive dragon.
While Stormfly was by no means a small dragon at 16 feet tall and 30 feet long. This dragon was at least 30 feet tall and 50 feet long. It was beautiful and terrifying in the same breath. The dragon heard them talking and laid down in front of them to listen to what they were saying.
"Well Astrid, Nadder's are kind of your thing so why don't you take the lead?" Hiccup suggested
"Glad to." Astrid beamed at him.
Walking up to the Nadder Astrid extended her hand and stroked the side of the dragons face lulling it into a sense of security.
"Alright there big fella first things first we have to know if you are a boy or a girl so we can give you a name fitting of how beautiful or handsome you are. So are you boy?" Astrid asked
The creature seemed to understand them just as well as Toothless and Stormfly did and bobbed its head up and down excitedly at her.
"Well that solves that." Astrid mumbled to herself.
"Now all we have to do is think of a name for you." Astrid said louder as she contemplated what to call their new friend.
Looking over the Titan wing Nadder she noticed that on its wings the orange and red scales seemed to form the shape of a fire with lighter gray scales over them which looked like storm clouds. Astrid made her way back to the head of the dragon, with a smile plastered on her face.
"How about Firestorm?" Astrid asked the dragon.
The dragon nodded its head up and down vigorously, and gave Astrid a big lick across the face.
"Ahh okay, okay you like it. I'm glad you do" Astrid said laughing as she wiped her face
"Alright big guy now I know we just met but we have a big favor to ask of you." Astrid began
"There are some bad people out there who want to fight us and kill us. We sadly don't have to power to fight them. We were hoping that you and your flock would help us fight them off when the time comes. Would you help us please?" Astrid asked as she rubbed the snout of their new friend.
Firestorm seemed to become angry at hearing that people out there wanted to hurt his new friends. He slowly rose to his full height nodding his head as he did. He flew up over the island, and roared out to gather the attention of all the Nadders that were present.
Mounting their own dragons quickly Hiccup and Astrid flew up to join Firestorm in the sky. They watched as he flew down, roaring at all the Nadders. Slowly all of them began to lift off the ground and follow Firestorm in formation behind him. The young who were still too small to fly were carried in their mother's mouth and waited for the next command to given from their leader.
Firestorm flew up and hovered in front of Hiccup and Astrid. There had to be at least 70 Nadders not including all the young. Hiccup turned to Astrid.
"This is your force Astrid, you lead the way." Hiccup beamed at her
Nodding at him Astrid turned to her new Dragon force.
"Alright everybody fly southeast back towards Dragon Island!" Astrid shouted.
Nodding his head Firestorm squawked back at his fellow Nadders and flew in the direction Astrid directed. Watching all the Nadders take off Hiccup looked over to Astrid.
"Way to move the troops General Hofferson." He said teasing her
Laughing and rolling her eyes at him she looked back him
"And don't you forget it Dragon Master." She said speeding off leaving Hiccup confused
"Dragon Master?… hey wait a minute get back here you!" He shouted charging after her into the setting sun.
The twins and Fishlegs had just returned back from the island with a literal boat load of wood that they had chopped down. They had found a bunch of tools in Hiccup's forge that allowed them cut the trees down and make them into boards. Now arriving back they started to unload their haul.
Unloading had taken about four hours. They really had gotten a lot of wood. And they started to make their way back up the mountain carrying as much as they could. Finally after bringing up the last of the wood they started to convert the main chamber of the dormant volcano into the stables. Building individual pods and larger group ones, they were able to construct about 100 by days end. They still had a bunch of left over wood but they would worry about that tomorrow.
Hiccup and Astrid had yet to return but that was to be expected they were off gathering dragons and who know how long that would take. Stepping out the volcano and seeing the setting sun, Fishlegs took a big sigh of relief, he was surprised at how well the twins worked with him today. They didn't goof off, try to prank him, hell they didn't even complain about the work they just did it.
"Hey guys good work today I know Hiccup will be pleased, when he sees it." Fishlegs said as they headed back to the house for the night.
Receiving smiles from both twins, all three of them continued down the side of the volcano when Ruff suddenly stopped and pointed to the shore.
"Hey guys when did that other ship pull up next to ours?" She asked quietly
Looking up both Fishlegs and Tuff saw what she was pointing at. A ship with an emblem on the sails that they had never seen before was pulled up on the shore right next to theirs.
"I don't guys but I don't like it lets get down to the house and make sure everything is okay." Fishlegs stated.
Nodding their head they quickly made their way to the forge to grab some weapons in case they needed to defend themselves. Upon arriving they could hear voices coming from the shore.
"They must have just got here." Ruff whispered to them.
In the forge Fishlegs grabbed a sword, Tuff grabbed a mace, and Ruff grabbed a spear. Making their way out of the forge, they noticed the sun was setting and the shadows that were being cast off the strangers helped the trio gage where they were. Close.
As the shadows grew closer Fishlegs began to make out the conversation the two were having.
"See I told you brother that he would not go far from Berk and now it seems we have found his base. Pity this will be far too easy, I was hoping for a more worthy adversary. Never the less we have business to attend to so let's get to it brother." The strange man ordered
Before these two strangers could get to work however Fishlegs and the twins emerged from behind the forge and stepped in their path.
"I don't know who you are and frankly I don't care, what I do care about is the fact that from your conversation it sounds like you mean to do us harm. That is something I can't allow so this is your only warning leave this place and never return." Fishlegs threatened in a low growl.
The two strange men looked at one another and gave a small nod and drew their weapons prepared to face off against the trio. A lone Nadder spike pierced the ground between the two groups freezing everybody.
Looking up Fishlegs saw Astrid and Hiccup coming down along with a huge flock of wild Nadders. Landing between the two groups Hiccup drew his sword, while Astrid drew her axe and pointed them at the two strange men.
"Just who the hell might you two be and what are you doing on my island?" Hiccup asked in a deadly tone
"Ahh you must be the infamous Dragon Master. Hiccup Haddock I believe. Allow me to introduce ourselves. I Viggo Grimborn and the man to my right would be my brother Ryker. It would seem you have caused quite the commotion in the Archipelago recently, what with all the tribes declaring war against you." Viggo stated smugly
Hiccup's glare deepened, the grip tightened on his sword, and Toothless growled behind.
"A Nightfury. My, My, My, however did you manage to capture it?" Viggo inquired
"None of your business." Hiccup shot back
"Ah my dear Hiccup that is where you are wrong. See Dragons are my business. Trapping, hunting, selling, you get the idea. And you just so happened to kill my best trapper, there for you are now my business. You have impeded me greatly but I see that you have brought a number of dragons to compensate me. So I offer you a deal give me the Nightfury and all the Nadders you brought and we will go, and never reveal your location to the other tribes. Sound fair?" Viggo suggested in a far too confident tone.
Hiccup's glare, if it could, was staring fire right through Viggo at the mere mention of giving up Toothless and the Nadders. Taking a step forward along with Toothless causing the two brothers to back track a little.
"You will never get Toothless or any of these dragons. If you ever so much as suggest that again I will tear you apart piece by agonizing piece. Is that understood?" Hiccup stated in tone that could have killed the Red Death.
Viggo's smile dropped and was replaced with an annoyed expression.
"So be it, Hiccup Haddock. NOW!" Viggo yelled out
With the order given arrows began to rain down on them from the ship behind. As the arrows hit the dragons they all fell from the sky and landed unable to move, behind Hiccup and his friends. Shocked at what was happening Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless all took cover behind the forge, while the twins and Fishlegs all took shelter back in the house.
When the arrows stopped Hiccup and Astrid noted that almost half of the Nadders were on the ground. Firestorm seemed to be okay, but soon men were running off the boat and grabbed 5 of the Nadders and began hauling them back to the boat. Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless all seeing this leaped out from behind the forge and stood between the men charging them and the dragons.
Leave this island and give us back those dragons you monster!" Hiccup shouted
"No I don't think I will. Let this serve as reminder to you Hiccup Haddock, that this is what awaits your dragons should you choose to come after us and continue this war." Viggo stated as he raised his sword and brought it down into the neck of a baby Nadder.
The mother of the baby cried out in horror as the blood of her infant stained the beach. Hiccup stood there in horror, eyes wide and mouth gaped open. He stared up at Viggo who had a smug grin on his face and he turned to walk back to his ship. Astrid tried to run after him but Hiccup held her back.
"Hiccup you let me fucking go right now, let me go so I can kill that monster!" Astrid said through gritted teeth
"No Astrid. He wants us to chase him. He wants us to see him kill those dragons. At the moment they are alive if we back off." Hiccup begrudgingly said
"I want to go after him too Astrid but we have to plan this out, carefully or others will end up just like that baby Nadder." Hiccup said in calmer and sorrow filled voice
Astrid nodded to him and slunk her shoulders and turned back to the house.
"Fishlegs I'm assuming you guys got the hint and built some stables."
"Yes Hiccup."
"Good lead the dragons in there when they can move."
"Of course Hiccup."
Fishlegs managed to get the dragons that had been hit up and on their feet and walked them to the stables. Hiccup stared out at the retreating ship glaring daggers at it.
"We will meet again Viggo Grimborn, and when we do, I will kill you." Hiccup said to himself.
