Ok, onto chapter 4, hope you all liked that last chapter, kinda a new part for me trying to follow the storyline of httyd, but I believe it worked well. Anywho for this one, I'll be giving a twist of the whole storyline here, hope you enjoy. Also kinda wanted to get more story in, so I made this chapter longer than before. I'm also super sorry about the late chapter uploads, been moving into a new place while writing these, I'm settling now so I should be on a normal schedule by Valentines day when I get wifi set up again.

Chapter 4: Dragon Training Surprise

(Village of Berk, Dragon Arena, 7 A.M.)

Hiccup is standing at the entrance to the dragon arena, waiting for Gobber and the rest of the kids. His eyes are closed and he hears a crunch a few feet to his right, looking over he sees the others and Gobber walking over. Astrid sees him and looks dumbfounded, like he shouldn't be here.

"Gobber, what is Hiccup doing here? Stoick is going to be mad about this"

"No he won't lassie, I convinced him that Hiccup needed to learn how to protect himself."

"I hope you know what you are doing Gobber"

Astrid looks at Hiccup and notices that something is different about him. Maybe it's his stance or that his eyes seem to be looking into her soul almost.

"Well let's get started, shall we?"

"Alright Gobber." Everyone says at once, except for Hiccup strangely. All he does is nod and get off the wall he is leaning on, following Gobber to the Mead Hall where the first lessons will begin.

(Mead Hall, 7:17 A.M.)

"Right, first of all, we need to discuss the dragon classes and what they are. First, Strike class, name a dragon in said class, anyone."

Everyone stays quiet during this waiting until one person pops a dragon's name

"Night Fury"

Everyone looks at hiccup after he said this confused and baffled.

"What, it's in the book of dragons for a reason."

"Exactly right lad. Now, tougher one for you. Mystery."

"Changewing"

"Correct again, how do none of you know any of the dragons under each class?"

"We don't have access to the book sir"

"Also don't we know nothing about the Night Fury Gobber, how is it we know it's a Strike class yet nothing more?"

"Because no one has seen one and lived to tell others."

This throws Hiccup into a question after gobber finishes that sentence.

"How come?"

"Because lad, Night Furies are the offspring of lightning and death itself, they always go for the kill."

This almost makes Hiccup laugh as he knows otherwise with Toothless being a night fury and also his mate.

"Anyways, seeing as you know about the dragons, why don't you tell us all 3 dragons from each class"

"Alright, we got Stoker with the Monstrous Nightmare, Terrible Terror, and the Fireworm, Next is the Boulder class with the Gronckle, Hotburple, and the Whispering Death, next is the Tracker with Deadly Nadder, Rumblehorn, and the Thunderclaw, next is Sharp with the Egg Biter, Timberjack, and the Razorwhip, after that is Tidal with the Scauldron, Sand Wraith, and the Thunderdrum, Next is mystery, and there we have the Boneknapper, Changewing, and the Hideous Zippleback, Last is the Strike class with the Night Fury, Skrill, and the Snow Wraith."

"Wow, im surprised you had those all memorized lad."

"Gobber you know I read a lot while in the forge doing nothing, Plus its you who let me read the entire Book of Dragons 3 times."

"Aye, that's true"

"Wait how come he can read the book but we couldn't Gobber?" Everyone asks all at once.

"Because lads and lassies, I may not be blood related to him, but i'm still his uncle, and I believe he needed to know these things."

"Alright, anyways, now what Gobber?"

"Hmm, I'll let you all take a look at the book of dragons for tonight, and tomorrow we will be testing your knowledge with some on the field training."

No one notices when Hiccup slips out right behind Gobber as he leaves, soon heading to the cove where Toothless is to be with him for a while, his dragon inside has been longing to be with its mate for the entire day, but knew if it gave itself away it would be a disaster.

(The next day, 7 A.M.)

Hiccup, once again is leaning against the wall of the arena waiting for everyone to show up, his eyes closed as he thinks back to when he was with Toothless last night.

(flashback)

When Hiccup gets to the cove, Toothless bounds out and nuzzles his cheek, letting a loving coo come from his throat, which causes Hiccup to smile and also coo as well as his dragon features to show themselves. Hiccup loved how he was accepted by this dragon even before he found out he was Toothless' mate reincarnated in a human vikings body.

During his time with Toothless more features began to make themselves known to both Hiccup and Toothless. One of these was his nails growing longer and a small pain in where a tail and wings would be, making them realize that Hiccup will be turning into a full dragon in the future, and both the mind of Hiccup and Toothless' mate will become one.

(End Flashback)

Hiccup is snapped out of his thoughts by the group talking as they make their way to the arena from his right.

"'Ello lad, seems your ready for this, how did you sleep?"

"ok I guess, let's just get this done"

As Hiccup walks away into the Arena the others look at each other confused.

"He seems a little more hostile, or am I the only one that noticed that?"

"No Astrid, we see it too, what happened I wonder?"

"It's not our place to question him lads and lasses, he seems a little preoccupied with his thoughts, I just hope it isn't more inventions."

"True that" They all sigh and follow into the arena.

(AN)

(I'm going to skip the next few days of the Dragon training because it is all the same from the movies, but the ending is completely different, so ill be going to that point.)

(6 days later, Dragon training graduation/first "kill")

This is one day Hiccup was hoping would never happen, but no it's here and he is going to have to show them the truth, that the dragons are just misunderstood.

"Sigh well, here we go"

"Lad, I wish you luck, and please be safe, don't want to lose you in there, Astrid will be on standby if you get into trouble."

"Thanks Gobber, I'll be safe, promise."

Hiccup looks at the door as it opens to the arena and doesn't even grab a shield or weapon as he heads out into the middle, many of the audience looking confused, especially his dad as he looks at hiccup with squinted eyes.

Soon the dragons cage is opened and out comes the monstrous nightmare and it just looks at Hiccup, sensing the night fury inside of him and not attacking, knowing it will lose the fight if it tries, so all it does is just stare at Hiccup as he stares back. The crowd is silent, wondering what's going on and just watches, soon though, Stoick stands up and yells out.

"Well, if your going to fight it, fight it!"

This causes the dragon to look at stoick and it gets ready to jump at the crowd but it hears someone that causes him to stop.

"Don't, they aren't worth it, it's just you and me, pretend they aren't here"

"How is it you know this strategy, human?"

"Because, I know what it is like to be in your paws, I still am sometimes. I'm like you I guess you could say, both figuratively and literally"

"True, it's been a long time Horus, after you disappeared nothing has been the same."

"Is that their name?"

"It is, and yours too young viking, only as you know it, it is Hiccup. How is Tioden anyways?"

"He is better now that I'm back, it's good to see you again my friend."

"That it is my lord, hopefully you know what you are causing, it looks like the chief isn't too pleased with you."

"That's fine, not like I haven't been around it before"

Hiccup takes slow steps forward and soon gets right to the bowed dragons head, placing his hand on its snout.

"Thank you, now, return to the cage, I'll get you out with Tioden soon, promise."

The monstrous nightmare returns to its cage and the door closes. Hiccup looks at his father and sees a fuming look and the baffled faces of the crowd. Hiccup then turns and walks out of the arena, waiting for the fight he will be subjected too, not noticing that his eyes have changed to that of Horus' eyes and everyone saw them
