Me: Hey everyone!
I'm glad you like this story so far!
Hiccup is really serious about what he wants, don't you think?
Why don't you see what he has up his sleeve?
*Talking through Comm Link*
Hiccup - Italic
Hiccup sat on the couch rail, eyes on Red who stood in front of them. Toothless was sitting on the couch with Barf, Belch, and Meatlug next to him. There were others in the room as well besides them.
They were called in for a meeting by Red. When Hiccup asked Toothless about this, Toothless had smiled and said, "This is a meeting for missions. This would be your first one so listen up!"
Now Hiccup was anxious to hear what Red had to say. His first mission and Red wanted him in. Red glanced at him, gave him a slight smirk, before turning her gaze to everyone else.
"Before we begin, we should welcome our new member, Hiccup. He's going to help us take down Stoick and clear our names. I didn't even get to give him the offer. He asked to join all by himself. And that was the day after he got here," Red said.
Hiccup blushed and everyone waved at him, giving him a welcome.
"Toothless, since you found him and brought him here, would you kindly be his guide until he gets used to things around here? He might know where everything is, but it will take a while to remember," Red asked.
Toothless gave Red a thumbs up, "You can count on me!"
Red smiled at this before the smile was replaced by a frown. This stated it was time to talk about the mission and everyone quieted up in respect and curiously as to what this mission was about. Red took out a map and placed it on the table for everyone to gather around to see.
Once everyone was around, Red spoke.
"Now, the hard drives we got from Stoick's house, most were blank while the rest had names of associates. Like the hard drive, the folder we took from Stoick's house did not have anything to clear us, but it did have names of known associates of Stoick and where they are. These associates must contain the files we seek. As such, we are striking a place tonight, since it's right in this city. The place is owned by retired cop brothers Viggo and Ryker Grimborn. The place is a Night Club called the Dragon Hunters."
Hiccup blinked, lifting his head up more at the name of the night club. Toothless noticed this from where he stood beside Hiccup and looked at him.
"The name sound familiar to you, Hiccup," Toothless asked Hiccup.
Hiccup thought about for a moment as all eyes turned to him. Know that he thought about it, he remembered Stoick talking to a Viggo and Ryker on the phone and saying that he would be right over. He also was there a couple times, but it the place didn't change, Hiccup could help with locations. Viggo and Ryker didn't really keep an eye on him after all, so Hiccup explored the Night Club all he could.
"Yeah. Stoick talked to them on the phone. Not only that, I was there a couple of times. If nothing changed or was added, I could help with locations and what you should look out for," Hiccup said, grabbing a pen and drawing stars of the map for cameras on the map, circling hiding places, drawing squares around blind spots, and drawing an 'x' on the office.
Hiccup hummed, looking the map over and nodding once he saw he was done.
"Okay, the stars are cameras, the circles are hiding places, the squares are the camera blind spots, and the 'x' is the office. That is if nothing changed and if my memory is correct. You also need ID's to get past the men at the front. There is a back door and a skylight that's always open when the Night Club is in business," Hiccup states, putting a dot at the back door, skylight, and the front.
Red looked over the map at the things Hiccup added on. She looked for ways in and out with trouble. Nodding at what she saw, she looked up at Hiccup again.
"Anything we need to know," Red asked.
Hiccup nodded, "Yes. The office has a security system. Once you're in you'll only have a couple minutes before the silent alarm goes off. I whet in once and went out; minutes later, cops showed up. Did it again and the same thing happened."
"Where's the power box," Meatlug asked.
Biting his lip, Hiccup looked over the map again. Once he found it, Hiccup slashed the area the power box was in the basement. Meatlug nodded.
"I'll cut the security system. Barf, Belch, the door probably has guards, so you need to be a distraction for me to get in," Meatlug said.
Barf and Belch nodded. Toothless looked over at Hiccup, worried.
"Won't Viggo and Ryker recognized you," Toothless asked.
Hiccup chuckled and shook his head, "No. I haven't been for four years. I've grown and my appearance changed. They won't recognize me."
Red motioned for the pen in Hiccup's hand. Giving Red the pen, Hiccup watched as Red traced a line is different places, one going to the basement and the other going to the office. This went on for about a minute until Red out down the pen.
She looked up, a determined look on her face.
"Okay, here's the plan."
Night Club Dragon Hunters
Music blasted through the building as people danced wildly to the music. Hiccup sat with his head down, cup in front of him. Toothless was sitting across from him. Their drinks were full, the two not taking a drink in risk of their DNA getting on the cup. They didn't touch the cup once it was given to them.
Fake ID's rested in their pockets, how they got in as they waited for the others to get here.
"Red's in the crowd," Toothless says, looking out at the crowd where Red was.
Red was dancing along with everyone else, but she was looking around, her eyes catching theirs before she pointed her fingers to the other side of the room. Hiccup and Toothless followed to where Red was pointing.
Viggo and Ryker were sitting on some couches with a girl sitting next to them. They had their arms wrapped around their own girl. Viggo and Ryker were laughing, the girls laughing along, over something that was said. Viggo's and Ryker's bodyguards were standing on either end of the couch, watching the crowd.
Toothless looked over and saw Meatlug, Barf, and Belch head to the hallway faces turned away from the camera as they made their way to the basement door. Meatlug nodded at Barf and Belch and walked over to the wall where other members of the Dragon Gang were talking.
Walking past them, Meatlug made herself look like a drunk girl and flirted with some men who weren't part of the Dragon Gang. The men fell for it and flirted back.
Barf and Belch started to fight each other, making the men guarding the doors leave their post to break them up. Meatlug took that as her cure and left the men, walking into the Dragon Gang members to hide before making a dash for the basement door, opening the door and closing it behind her.
*I'm in.* Meatlug said, stepping down the stairs.
Hiccup raised looked at Toothless. Toothless looked back at him to make it look like Hiccup was talking to him.
*Meatlug, let us know when the security system is down.* Hiccup spoke into the mic.
Meatlug nodded, looking around for the power box to shut down the power to the security system. Red looked at Viggo and Ryker, lips curling in disgust when she saw them too busy kissing the girls sitting next to them.
*Toothless, get to the office door while Viggo and Ryker are distracted. The sooner we get that folder and get out of here, the better.* Red said.
Toothless looked at Viggo and Ryker but noticed that the bodyguards were watching the crowd, but watched those who weren't dancing and standing off to the side more.
*I can get to the stairs, but the bodyguards will catch sight of me once I step away from the crowd.* Toothless stated.
*Leave that to me. If there is one thing men like Viggo and Ryker can't resited, it's a good show.* Red said.
Red broke away from the crowd, wobbling like she was drunk. She was stopped by the bodyguard when she got to close, but she just placed her hands on their biceps and looked at Grimborn brothers.
"Excuse me," Red slurred.
Viggo and Ryker broke away from kissing their girls to look at Red.
"I was wondering where the owners were. I wanted to give them a special gift for them," Red slurred like she was drunk.
Viggo and Ryker smiled.
"Why we are the owners of this fine place," Ryker said.
"What gift are you talking about," Viggo asked.
Red smiled seductively, though, on the inside, she was gagging in disgust and wanted to puke her stomach out.
"A show," Red said.
Viggo and Ryker smiled in glee and waved her in. The bodyguards let her past and they grabbed the curtains which they used to close odd everyone else from watching. Toothless and Hiccup watched in pity as Red did this.
"She is so gonna want to shower herself when we get back," Hiccup said. Despite not knowing Red long, Hiccup could tell Red was disgusted by men like Viggo and Ryker.
Toothless nodded in agreement and got up, making his way to the stairs that led up to the office.
*Thanks Red, making my way up now. Don't reply. Can't let Viggo and Ryker know you have a Comm-Link in your ear. Meatlug, hows it coming?* Toothless checked in.
Meatlug's groan was heard through the Comm-Link.
*I can't find the frigging power box! I see the lines that connect to it, but it's messy down here and it's dirty and oh my god I'm so getting a shower when we get back because there are spider webs everywhere! What do they even use some of this stuff for? Theme night? I don't think you need a frigging snow maker in this frigging Night Club!* Meatlug complained.
Hiccup chuckled, covering his mouth and he watched Toothless make his way up the stairs and to the office.
*Meatlug, I love ya. But I need you to cut the power to the-*
*Stop where you are Toothless! Get down and hide on the stairs!* Hiccup said.
Toothless took Hiccup to his word and did what he was told, pushing his body down against the stairs as close as possible.
*What is it?* Toothless asked.
Hiccup kept his eyes on a spot in front of the office door, where a figure sitting down on a chair was barely seen in the shadows. Hiccup doesn't even know how he saw the person, but he did.
*There's a person sitting just outside the office.* Hiccup says.
Toothless lifts his head up to see and sure enough, there's a person sitting in a chair next to the office door. However, this action of Toothless causes the man to get a glimpse of him. When the man turns his head in Toothless's direction, Toothless ducks down, head banging on the step. Toothless bite his lip to keep himself from shouting out.
*Crap. I think he saw me.* Toothless tells everyone listening.
Sure enough, the man got up and slowly made his way to the stairs. Thinking quickly, Hiccup made his way over to the stage where a guitar leaned against the wall.
*Meatlug, get to the power box. I'll take care of the rest.* Hiccup said, plugging the guitar in and making his way to the microphone.
*Okay, but how are you gonna do that?* Meatlug asked.
Hiccup smiled, *By doing what I do best.*
Hiccup played the guitar with the guitar pick, getting everyone's attention on him as he started to play a song. And besides, if he does get recognized, this song will be a message. And Hiccup can have a little fun with this.
Where are the people that accuse me?
The ones who beat me down and bruise me.
They hide just out of sight, can't face me in the light.
They'll return but I'll be stronger.
Hiccup sang loud as people started cheering. People started to walk towards the stage to get closer. Hiccup glances up and sees the man stop getting closer to Toothless and was instead turning to watch him. Smiling, Hiccup cast his gaze back to the people gathering around the stage.
God, I want to dream again!
Take me where I've never been!
I wanna to go there; this time I'm not scared!
Now, I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable!
No one can touch me, nothing can stop me!
Viggo and Ryker opened the curtains to see what was going on since singing on stage weren't suppose to happen yet. However, when they saw everyone enjoying the song, they smiled and decided to watch instead. Hiccup watched as the girls came out to stand next to Viggo and Ryker, the bodyguards following. Red comes out last, brushing her hair with her fingers to fix it the best she could. She smiles at him, mouthing the words 'thank you'. Hiccup smiled and nodded back at her.
Sometimes it's hard to just keep going, but faith is moving without knowing.
Can I trust what I can't see, to reach my destiny!
I want to take control, but I know better!
Meatlug, during this, found the power box and had cut the power. Giving Toothless the signal, Meatlug made her way out the way she came. Toothless got up and wrapped his arm around the man who stood guard, choking him until he was unconscious. Toothless made his way to the office and opened the door.
God, I want to dream again!
Take me where I've never been!
I wanna to go there; this time I'm not scared!
Now, I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable!
No one can touch me, nothing can stop me!
Toothless made his way to the safe. Putting his skills to use, Toothless started to pull out the tools from his shirt to open the safe. Meatlug opens the basement door and attracts the attention of the two men who were standing guard. Quickly, she hit them on nerve points and they were knocked out. Meatlug made her way to the doors, were Barf and Belch, each wearing bruises on their face from hitting each other, waited for her.
Forget the fear!
It's just a crutch that tries to hold you back and turn your dreams to dust!
All you need to do is just trust!
Toothless used his tools to break open the safe. Smiling, Toothless pulled a bag that was in his pants leg out and Toothless pushes the money aside or out of the safe to get to the folders in the back. Checking the bottom, Toothless saw a box of hard drives and put it in the bag. Now done, Toothless made his way out of the office.
God, I want to dream again!
Take me where I've never been!
I wanna to go there; this time I'm not scared!
Now, I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable!
No one can touch me, nothing can stop me!
Red sees Toothless coming down and steps in front of the Grimborn brothers. Distracted, Toothless slips by undetected. Red chuckles, patting Viggo and Ryker on the chest before brushing past them as soon as she was out of their range, Red gagged, holding her throat. She quickly made her way behind the bar where she puked. The bartender yells out and grabs a mop and starts cleaning the mess. Red wipes her mouth as she makes her way to the door where Toothless now was.
God, I want to dream again!
Take me where I've never been!
I wanna to go there; this time I'm not scared!
Now, I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable!
No one can touch me, nothing can stop me!
Seeing everyone from the Dragon Gang make their way to the door, Hiccup starting playing the music even louder as the song hits its climax. Hiccup catches Toothless's eye and winks at him. Toothless blushes at this, stuttering much to Hiccup's amusement. Hiccup looks at the Grimborn brothers to see them looking at him with a look of confusion, showing that the somewhat recognize him. Hiccup ignores this and plays the song to its finish.
Every one cheers once the song ends. Hiccup places the guitar back and before the Grimborns could let at him any further, jumps into the crowd. Making his way to the door, Hiccup glancing back to see Viggo catch sight of the office open and point it out to Ryker. Hiccup chuckles as he watches them race up the stairs.
Once he was with the others by the door, Toothless grabs him into a one-armed hugged and ruffles his head. Hiccup laughs and pushes him away. While making their way out of the Night Club, Toothless looks Hiccup.
"Thanks for saving my head, Hiccup," Toothless says.
Hiccup chuckles, "You would have done the same for me."
Red shakes her head, amused.
"Hiccup, you saved Toothless from getting caught, saved me from Viggo and Ryker's dirty and perverted minds, and helped us get what we needed," Red says.
"I'd say a job well done for your first mission," Toothless adds.
Words of agreement went around the group as they made their way across the street. Hiccup rubs the back of his neck.
"Thanks. But don't count me out yet. We still got other missions to do."
The Dragon Gang cheered, high-fiving each other to what Hiccup said.
Me: I hoped you liked the chapter!
And I hope you like the next one as well!
I got a question for you all:
Do any of you watch Criminal Minds?
