Hiccup - Italic
Hiccup sat on the roof of the building, the guitar case by his feet. It was now an early afternoon and he basking in the sun since he didn't have that luxury back at Stoick's house. Hiccup watched as clouds floated by in the blue sky.
After Red and Toothless sang, Hiccup was given another tray of food to have his fill. When he was done, he decided to go up to the roof, everyone bust eating to notice him leaving. Besides, he wanted some quiet time anyway.
Hiccup thought about the people he met so far.
Toothless was kind, strong, and helping, helping him escape his prison of a house and showed him around the place. Toothless had that air of a big brother around him, even though they were both 17, something Toothless mentioned to Hiccup during breakfast, Hiccup was older by a year.
Red was the strong and compassionate, leading her people through this time of their life that they shouldn't have to go through. She also seemed to be a mother figure, protecting them and scolding them when needed, like what happened when Hookfang insulted Toothless.
Stormfly was like the big sister for everyone, wanting to know everything about them and constantly trying to protect others. She was a good fighter, Hiccup having on witnessing her throw a man over her shoulder because he flirted with her. That was a laugh.
Meatlug was also like a mother figure, but the type that was a little overbearing and would ask if you were alright. She was also a good fighter and pretty strong, Hiccup seeing her help some of the men picking up a couple of heavy looking crates.
The twins, Barf and Belch, they were annoying cousins that would constantly bicker back and forth with each other, even fighting each other. They were also amusing to watch when they got in some of those moods, Hiccup barely able to keep food in his mouth watching them bicker needlessly.
Hookfang was like the bully brother that one would have and liked things when they went his way or any way he wanted them to go. From what Hiccup heard, Hookfang and Toothless never really got along and Hookfang wanted the mission into Stoick's house to get the folder. Glad he didn't get it.
Still, Hiccup was glad to be here, where he could finally do something.
Hiccup raised his arms above his head and stretched. Reaching down, Hiccup took the guitar out of the casing and prepared to use it for the first time since his mother passed. His mother had taught him how to play on the guitar.
Hiccup traced the design of the guitar. It was special, his mother using all her saving to make a custom guitar, chrome silver color, the guitar looking like a silver dragon flying around the strings, the eyes of the dragon red.

Putting the guitar strap around his shoulder, Hiccup took the guitar pick from the back. Toning the strings and checking them to make sure they hit the right beat, Hiccup started to play a tune. After playing the same tune a couple times, Hiccup decided it was time to add some words to the music and started to sing, not bothering in keeping his voice contained.
Even a well-lit place can hide salvation.
A map to a one-man maze that never sees the sun.
Where the lost are the heroes and the thieves are left to drown.
But everyone knows by now, fairy tales are not found.
Hiccup looked around at the factory, amazing that the Dragon Gang hide here for years to prevent capture. Thinking about the times where he couldn't go outside and see the sun like others made him angry at his father, looking up at the sun but looked away to prevent eye damage. Hiccup thought about the Dragon Gang and how they survived for so long, lost themselves but found themselves again, reborn anew. They were no fairytale, but this was their story and Hiccup was part of it now.
They're written in the walls as we walk in a straight line!
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching!
But nothing could ever stop us from stealing our own place in the sun!
We will face the odds against us and run into the fear we run from!
Hiccup stood, playing the guitar faster with the tempo, walking around easily. Hiccup slide on a board, keep kept his balance. Looking up, he looked around as the sun cast it's light around the city and when the sun hit the guitar, the guitar shined. Hiccup smiled, knowing that he would stand up alongside his new friends to get their lives back after it was wrongly taken from them.
It has begun!
Hiccup stopped, looking back down at the guitar in his grasp.
Into the dark below, evading shadows.
Blind in a rabbit's hole, we fall beneath the earth.
And watch the shell come unraveled as the seed begins to rise.
Embracing its starlit fate as we wait in the night.
Stoick and all his corrupted men and everyone on his side with him will get what's coming to them. They where going blind, not knowing what to do but figuring it out along the way. The Dragon Gang were people who discovered things about themselves in order to survive in the process. By embracing the new them, they will bring justice to everyone who was wronged by Stoick, for those still in hiding and those who couldn't get away and were locked up.
It's written in the walls as we walk in a straight line!
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching!
But nothing could ever stop us from stealing our own place in the sun!
We will face the odds against us and run into the fear we run from!
Walking around again, Hiccup thought about what his mother told him years ago. She once told him to fight for what he believed to be right and for anyone who needed someone to fight for them when they were unable to. Hiccup would not stop until every one of the people responsible gets what is coming to them. Hiccup spent so long containing himself, he was going to unleash it all and do what his mother wished to do a long time ago.
(Ahhhh)
It has begun!
(Ahhhh)
It has begun!
(Ahhhh)
It has begun!
(Ahhhh)
It has begun!
Walking back to the place he was sitting before, Hiccup sat down. Hiccup smiled as he looked up at the clouds once again. Looking down at the guitar, Hiccup happy he could sing freely without someone stopping him.
(Ahhhh)
It has begun!
He played the guitar at its climax, finishing the song.
Hiccup sighed and closed his eyes, glad he could use the guitar after so long. However, hearing soft clapping made Hiccup open his eyes and look behind him. Toothless and Red were there, clapping with smiles on their faces.
"You really love singing, don't you," Toothless said.
Hiccup blushed, ducking his head.
"Yeah. Mom and I used to sing whenever we would get the chance. But it had to be quiet so we could hear if anyone came up the driveway. But it was fun all the same. I love singing and playing music and I will do it whenever I get a chance if I could," Hiccup said.
Red chuckled, crossing her arms.
"Next time you decided to disappear, let someone know so we don't freak out, alright? We only knew you were here when some of us heard you singing," Red stated.
Hiccup nodded in understanding. Toothless walked forward, looking at the guitar with awe.
"So cool. Where did your mom get this," Toothless said, longing to touch but resited, looking at the guitar carefully.
"Custom made. It took all of my mom's saving to make it," Hiccup said.
Toothless looked amazed, "Really? Cool."
Hiccup smiled, removing the guitar strap from his shoulder before placing the guitar back in its case. Once the case was zipped up, he looked at Toothless and Red with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"So, is there a reason why you wanted to find me beside me disappearing?"
Red nodded.
"Yes, I was gonna help Toothless show you around since I have nothing else to do."
Hiccup picked the guitar case and put it over his shoulder.
"What is there for you to show me," Hiccup asked.
Toothless spoke up, "There's the training room, cafeteria, communication room, dorms, Lounge, secret passage, and Hideaway. You've already seen the cafeteria and dorms, so all you need to see is the training room, communication room, Lounge, secret passage, and Hideaway."
Nodding, Hiccup followed Red and Toothless back stairs. He followed them to a room that had computers and chairs, monitors and mics. Red gestured at the room with her hand.
"This is the communication room. This is where we watch missions on cameras and mics given to the one doing the mission. For example, we watched as Toothless went into Stoick's house and saw you. The mic allowed us to hear you," Red explained.
Hiccup nodded, "Cool".
Toothless grabbed Hiccup's hand and led him down the hallway, Red following behind them. They came to a large open area, some of the Dragon Gang were fighting with each other, or sparring as the more closer term for it.
"This is where we train to fight. Each of us can spar with one other and learn different things. In a way, we are each other's teachers," Red stated.
"Got a doctor in the house," Hiccup joked.
Toothless and Red laughed.
"Yes, we do. One of them is Meatlug," Toothless said.
"Fitting for someone who fits the role of overbearing mother," Hiccup commented.
Toothless chuckled and pointed behind Hiccup. Turning, Hiccup saw a room with couches, TV's, and tables.
"Let me guess: the Lounge," Hiccup said.
"Yep. Where we go to relax and let loose or just hang and talk," Toothless grabbed Hiccup's hand and pulled him to follow him.
They stopped at a different hallway that seemed to be a dead end. However, Red kicked the wall on one side and the wall opened, revealing a hidden room. Red chuckled at Hiccup's awed look as Toothless smirked at him.
"The Hideaway. This is where we hide when cops or other people come here. Sensors around the place let us know if we have an intruder. The secret passage door is inside. It will help us escape if this place is surrounded from the outside," Red explained.
"Wow, you thought of everything. How long did it take you to build that," Hiccup said.
"Without anyone hearing? Let's just say my mother started it and I finished it. It took years, but we've got it," Red said.
Hiccup chuckled, scratching his head.
"This place is amazing. You survived so long like this and yet, your numbers only grow because everyone is falling for Stoick's tricks. Well, I believe it's time for those tricks to come to light, don't you think?"
Red raised an eyebrow as Toothless made a confused hum.
"What are you talking about," Toothless asked.
"I know things about Stoick that can help you. I can tell you his schedule, allies, partners, safe house's, whatever I know. I will gladly help you in taking Stoick and anyone in league with him down," Hiccup said.
Red made a breath of shock like she wasn't believing this was happening as Toothless gasped. Hiccup understood that. They've tried to get hands-on information and folders and here he is, offering to help to ask for nothing in return.
"Why," Red asked.
Hiccup chuckled and smirked.
"I've spent so long under his thumb, letting him push me around because I knew I couldn't do anything. Mother couldn't anything either because she had me and had to take care of me. Mom died wishing she could do more to help your people, Red. I will gladly help in any way I can. Because like you, I will never be free until Stoick is stopped once and for all," Hiccup explained.
Toothless looked at Hiccup in a new light as what Hiccup was saying dawned to him.
"Hiccup, are you saying you would like to join us," Toothless said.
Hiccup smiled, crossing his arms.
"It's my proposition. So, what do you say?"
Red and Toothless looked at each other. They stared at each other, disbelieving this was happening. But looking back at Hiccup proved that wrong, seeing he really meant it. Red and Toothless smiled.
"When would you like to start," Red asked.
Hiccup chuckled, "Anytime you'de like. But for me, personally, I would like to start now."
Toothless laughed, putting an arm over Hiccup's shoulder.
"Welcome to the Dragon Gang, Hiccup," Toothless exclaimed.
Hiccup laughed along with Toothless.
"Thanks. I'll help however way I can."
Me: This chapter was a little harder to do since I had no idea what to put, but I got it.
The song Hiccup sings is "Starset - It Has Begun".
Remember, got any ideas, send them to me. I could use them.
See ya in the next chapter!
What is Hiccup gonna do?
Ha! I am evil with cliffhangers! Dangle all you want but you're gonna wait!
