Stoick was still grappling a Nadder's head keeping it pinned down with other's keeping the net and dragon pinned to the ground, when the Chief heard a familiar scream he looked and glowered as a Monstrous Nightmare was chasing his son from a hill.
"sigh" Stoick grumbled with annoyance "Do not let them escape!" he ordered gesturing to the Nadder's trapped as he ran off to direction the Dragon was chasing his son.
Hiccup was dodging the searing fire blasts the Nightmare was shooting at him, He dropped under a stream and hid behind a torch as The Monstrous Nightmare breathed it's fire breath at him the flamed billowed from the sides, Hiccup looked to the left not knowing it was coming from the right, as The Dragon peered it's head around the torch ready to take a snap when it was tackled to the ground, it was Stoick.
Stoick and the Monstrous Nightmare rolled around getting to their claws and feet, Stoick straightened out his tilted helmet with a thumb and flexed his fingers as the two locked eyes, the Nightmare breathed out fire, well more like spit a small strip of fire but none after that, now the dragon looked scared.
"Shot limit reached" Stoick snarled "RAAHH!" he roared decking the Nightmare in the face followed by another a crushing blow to it's snout and an uppercut to it's jaw and a kick to it's face chasing it off, The chief looked at the retreating dragon before turning to the torch with a glare, as the flames finally ate through the thick wood and toppled over revealing Hiccup, the bowl broke off and bounced down the hill and towards the Nadder's trapped, the Vikings dove out of the way as the dragons moved burning off the rope and used it to capture the sheep, the bowl rolled after a viking.
Hiccup and Stoick looked at this with bewilderment as Hiccup flinched as the Viking jumped over the side bouncing down the walk ways, as the top of the stairs platform was crushed and every time the viking and torch bowl bounced Stoick's glare deepened, then it stopped.
Hiccup meekly turned to face the Chief "*Also another fun fact Chief of the Tribe happens to be*" Hiccup's voice narrated, the teen turned to see the Chief's angry expression "Sorry Dad" he winced, yup the Chief of the Hooligan's Stoick the Vast was Hiccup's father.
"Okay but I shot down the Skrill" Hiccup pointed meekly, Stoick just grabbed and dragged him away "I'm being serious That lightning speedy Dragon just went down by Ravenpeak, you don't believe me just check it out" he rambled.
"STOP!" Stoick interrupted finally With a shout "just stop" he sighed "Every time you step outside more trouble and damage happens then you make a ridiculous excuses why can't you obey a simple order and stay put" he questioned "Winter is almost here and I have an entire village To feed" he added with angry grunt.
"To be honest Some could benefit with little less feeding and stuffing" Hiccup replied referring to some of the more rotund vikings who rubbed their stomach's with offense.
"This isn't funny Hiccup" Stoick replied irritatedly
"alright sorry, I can't help myself I see a dragon and like you I have an urge to Kill it" Hiccup making killing gesture with his hands.
"Ah Hiccup your many things but your far from a dragon killer, stick to forge work" Stoick advised "Now go on home and someone make sure he gets there I have a mess to clean up" he muttered angrily.
Gobber came up and lightly smacked Hiccup in the head for leaving the forge and causing as much damage as the dragons that just left directed him away.
the Two walked past the other teens "Oh wonderful performance from Hiccup the Useless" Ruffnut sneered.
"Great show can't tell who's worse dragon's or a runt of a viking" Tuffnut mocked clapped Fishlegs didn't say anything.
"Haven't seen a human stick screw up so many times" Snotlout mocked Gobber just glared and grabbed his helmet pulled it over his eyes and tossed him into a water tub, Astrid didn't say anything except huff of annoyance and disbelief at the stunt.
Heather also didn't say anything just sighed with disappointment and shook her head "*I should tell you Heather's a quick healer to go for minor injuries and short terms til she escorts you to Gothi*"
Heather just shook her head as she has a lot of work to do from both dragons and Hiccup's craziness and Headed off but just scowled at Snotlout and the twins.
Hiccup was back to his house as the sun was rising "I really did knock that dragon from the skies" he stated.
"Sure you did, the most elusive and lightning fast dragon we have visits from of course you did" Gobber replied not buying it.
"He never listens to a word or just is oblivious to voices" he commented about Stoick/the Chief/ Father.
"Sounds familiar" Gobber noted.
"Either he won't listen or just boar-headed and denser than a hammer"
"Guess it's runs with the family" Gobber countered on the 'Boar-headed' and 'not listening'
"and when he does it's with a deep scowl and broody expression like someone skimped his food plate (imitating Stoick's voice) Excuse me barmaiden, Im afraid you brought the wrong food platter, I requested A large meaty lad with thick burly arms, filled with Renowned Vigor and stuffed with glory, This is a talking Crayfish basket" "
"Now your Looking at this with the wrong image, it's not what your cover it's what's inside he doesn't take a liking to" Gobber replied, Hiccup just gazed at him With mild annoyance.
"Thank you for that" Hiccup stated.
"My point is this, don't force yer-self to be something yer not" Gobber said gently.
"I just want to be one of you" Hiccup replied with a frown and walked into his house, Gobber just sighed sadly. Hiccup waited til Gobber was gone and headed out the backdoor.
In the Greathall thousands of vikings had gather "Alright one more search before winter strikes, we take the nest" Stoick spoke loud and clear "finally end this war" he stabbed a map with a knife.
"Our boats never return and people have lost their lives finding the nest since Berk first started" a viking spoke.
"It's a occupational hazard, we stop the raids and resolve this Dragon conflict" Stoick raised a fist in the air "Who's with me?" he asked, no one raised their hand and just whispered "Alright lets try this, who wants to stop this conflict or who wants to clean up and look after my son?" he questioned everyone raised their hands.
"Right with you Chief" Spitelout responded.
"Thats the answer I'd hope for" Stoick said with a approval nod.
"Well I'll pack my undies" Gobber finished his drink and put his stone tooth back into his mouth.
"No, I need you to Train new Recruits" Stoick ordered.
"Oh while Hiccup's manning the Forge fixing weapons, nothing bad will happen" Gobber shrugged.
"What am I going to do?, Hiccup's got a attention span of a gnat, he never stays I take him fishing and he hunts trolls" Stoick said.
"What 'bout put him through dragon training" Gobber suggested.
"I'm being serious"
"So am i"
"He'll get killed by a Terrible Terror"
"You don't no that" Gobber stated.
"Uh yeah I do, the smallest dragon will have no problem Killing him" Stoick replied.
"you don't no that fer sure"
"No actually I do know"
"No Ya Don't!" Gobber countered getting annoyed.
"When I was a lad"
"There he goes again" Gobber grumbled, as Stoick is going to tell about one of his stories, which wouldn't normally be bad, but Stoick has told this story 100 times.
"My father told me to bash my head against a rock, thought he was insane and you Wanna know what happened?"
"No I heard this story many times, but you'll tell me'h anyway"
"That rock split in half, even as a boy I knew what I was, Hiccup is not that person" Stoick stated softly.
"You can't stop em Stoick your better off supporting him" Gobber advised "He's probably out there already, so yer just better go with it and be there for em" he said Stoick just frowned pondering what to do.
Hiccup was looking at his journal trying to Find the Skrill he shot down, but couldn't find the Dragon anywhere he looked everywhere near Ravenpoint, he crossed off the locations and slammed it shut.
"Gods hate me, some Vikings lose their helmets or boots, or a sword but not me" Hiccup huffed glaring at the sky "Oh no I managed to lose something big as a dragon" he glared smacking a branch angrily which smacked him back in the face, he glared at it and eyes widened with surprise, a tree next to him trunk was broken in half, like something smashed into it and a large skid trail on the ground, like something big barreled through here.
Hiccup followed it and looked over a hill he saw a dragon Dark gray scaled dragon with purple markings and large wings with long wing talons, a spiky back and tail It was the Skrill and the creature was in the net he shot at it last night, he dropped down in shock in case it was awake.
Hiccup got his knife out and carefully approached the Dragon when he got close to it, it was much larger up close. The Skrill was dark dray with purple markings, with a lighter belly light purple markings And a gray underside, a white underbelly, it was a medium size dragon it's head resembled a Thunderdrum's with three Short chin spines, it had a crown of spikes almost all the same length around his head, shark like gills on it's neck, it had large wings 40 foot wingspan with long wing claws and a impressive 22 feet long for a medium size dragon, he looked at the Dragon's spines now Hiccup's closer to it he noticed the spines were dark gray almost black and looked to be metallic and sharp enough to cut with the slightest abrasion alot of them were bent at a angle.
He looked at it's mouth Hiccup could see a mouthful of sharp stakeknife-like fangs, it's legs had long sharp claws on it's feet and it looked like it was dead "Oh I did it, Hiccup the Useless the village screwup has brought down this mighty foe!" he stated beaming with joy "Thank you Odin Allfather" he placed a hand on it's neck on the Skrill's gills and readied his dagger but it grunted shifted Bumping Hiccup in the side with the side of his neck making him stumble back as it breathed in and out, it was still alive.
Hiccup carefully approached it and looked to it's head the Skrill had opened it's eyes, the dragon's eyes were a light pale orange-red it's pupil was slit shaped and was dilated as the Dragon looked at Hiccup.
"I'm going to kill you dragon, take your skin as a trophy and take your head to my father, for I'm a viking" Hiccup told it raising his dagger to drive it into the Dragon's heart but he heard it breathing quicker, he looked and saw it's eyes it's pupils were dilated but not of anger, but of fear and helplessness
He shook his head "Come on Hiccup you slay this creature and you'll have the respect you deserve, your life will mean something" Hiccup told himself and raised his dagger high and gritted his teeth, but seeing the fear in it's eyes he was struggling on what to do.
"I want to but, why am I feeling even if the village accepts me I won't be happy" Hiccup muttered the Skrill just rested it's head closing it's eyes embracing it's end, Hiccup stood up to walk away and looked at it over it's shoulder seeing what was in it's eyes, Hiccup has always been feeling:Fear, unsure of whats ahead, and useless Hiccup sighed making his choice.
With the Skrill he closed his eyes to accept his death with dignity when they snapped open and the pupils were in it's normal shape when he heard sawing, he looked with it's eye and Hiccup was cutting the ropes the bindings on it loosened as it's limbs felt the slack when the last rope was severed, it shot up with a growl as it snapped around at Hiccup tossing him back and pinned the viking with it's foot on his chest and one of it's wing claws trapping his arm on the ground and bore it's now angry eyes into Hiccup's as it bared it's teeth and a building of static came but it quickly died out the Skrill looked at the viking and Hiccup looked at the Dragon into the others eyes.
Hiccup looked and saw anger, surprise and, confusion also was fighting off pain, from Hiccup's guess the fall it took but it cleared up as it opened it's mouth and let out a blaring loud shrieking roar in his face, seeing how it saw it was the vikings work that brought him down but also set him free let him go but not before taking the tip of his wing claw and cut him from the middle of his cheek across and grazing his neck behind his jaw, the cut was horizontal across his face on rightside and flew away injured like.
Hiccup panted as he placed a hand on his cut and passed out from fright.
