Hiccup rushed away from the forest and ran all the way to the Academy. Upon reaching his garage, he bursts through the door and stops to catch his breath. "Bad...idea...running...5...blocks..." He pants heavily as he walks over to the mini fridge in the corner and picks up a bottle of water. As he drinks from it, he turns towards the Night Fury and smiles before grabbing a wheel barrow , some tools and a blowtorch. He piles the items into the wheel barrow and covers them with a tarp as he heads back out. Avoiding the strange looks from his superiors and a few peers, he exits the grounds and speed walks through the city and to the forest.
"Alright ..lets get started." He says as he walks over to the pod and begins to work on removing the top part of it using the blowtorch. After working on it for a few hours, Hiccup piles the engine, jet boosters and a few pieces of metal into his wheel barrow and heads back to theAcademy, covering it all with the tarp. As he enters the courtyard , he is met with the familiar face of his cousin Snotlout "Come to gloat again Snot?" he asks as he and Snotlout walk towards the garage "Nope...came to show off ..this!" He yells as he opens a bag and pulls out a blazer, with several medals on the sleeve.
"Oh wow you got promoted , hooray." Hiccup says in an uninterested tone as he unlocks the garage. He stops and turns around to see that Snotlout had walked off to brag about his promotion to other people in the courtyard. He pushes the wheel barrow inside and uncovers all of the parts, then he gets to work.
2 Hours Later
Hiccup walks out of the garage and locks up before heading to the facility. He opens the front door and feels a rush of cool air blow past him as he makes his way down the long hall. Hiccup opens the door at the end of the hall and heads through another one, reaching the cafeteria, where he sees Fishlegs reading a book at a table. He walks to the lunch line and picks up a tray, placing an apple, a plate o spaghetti, a bottle of Coke and a small plate of garlic bread onto it. He heads over and sits next to Fishlegs and begins to eat. Fishlegs looks over at his friend "Made much progress on the Night Fury?" Hiccup continues to eat and then speaks "Yeah...I found something Fish...but you can't tell anyone what I'm about to show you"
After eating, Hiccup and Fishlegs head out to the garage . As Hiccup unlocks the door and opens it he turns to his friend "Now don't freak out" He says as he walks into the garage with Fishlegs close behind. Fishlegs rolls his eyes "Why would I possibly freak o-" he immediately stops speaking upon seeing the pieces of the alien pod lying on the center of the floor. "W-w-w-where did you get that?! Why do you have that!? Does anyone else know!? Oh sweet mother of Thor!" Hiccup looks around and walks over to him in a rush to calm his friend down. "No one knows about this...and they're not gonna find out...so you don't tell, kay Fish? Kay!" He says as he walks to the back of the large ship and continues his instillation of the technology. Fishlegs shakes his head in disbelief. "But where did you find it?"
Meanwhile, in the forest.
A strange black figure crawls around the crater that once held its pod. It looked on as its pod was now in pieces, most of its parts missing including the engine. The creature growls as it gets closer and sniffs around, in an attempt to pick up the scent of whatever took apart its pod. It turns its head East and heads off, letting out a load sound. It sounded like a howl mixed with a growl and carried all across Berk. It was a way of alerting its comrades to its location. They'd arrive soon to help creature took off, its black scales shining in the sunlight as it hurried across a street, careful not to draw any attention from the humans. It knew this would take a while.
Back in the garage.
Hiccup and Fishlegs work on the new and improved engine on the Night Fury. "So it was just sitting there in the forest?" Fishlegs asks Hiccup as he properly adjusts the engine. "Yup...nothing and no one else was around so I just...took it apart and brought all these parts here. It's really a stroke of luck." Hiccup says with a chuckle as Fishlegs walks over to a table holding several tools. "We've only ever taken it out on test flights four other times. Only two were successful...Think it'll go better this time?" Fishlegs asks as Hiccup opens the door to the ship. "I'm sure of it...Let's go for about three hours..." he says as his best friend heads into the ship "Or atleast until the fuel cell dies." He says as he closes the door and heads to the pilots seat in the main cockpit. Fishlegs sits in the co-pilot seat next to him. "Converting power from fuel cell into jet engine. Transferring energy into boosters for thrust mode. We have lift in 5...4...3...2.." Fishlegs continued to countdown as the roof to the garage opened up, two large pieces of it sliding to the opposite sides to make space. "1." He says as Hiccup grabs hold of the manual transmission lever and pushes it forward, causing the ship to hover out of the garage. Outside the trainees and even trainers watch as the now complete Night Fury truly takes flight. The ship turns towards the sky and takes off at Mach 5. It blurs across the sky, Hiccup used the alien technology to create a new windshield. One that was equipped with software that allowed the ship's crew to see as it reached vast speeds.
"Fishlegs...I think we did it.."
