What's this? Two chapters in three days? I must have done something right! Nah, I just redid the chapters based on word count, which was mostly just throwing two chapters into one document.

If y'all do see any mistakes, please let me know! Even after 4 years(Four. Years. Wow.) of experience since starting the original version of Chance Untamed, I'm still learning and improving!

Enjoy!

*Sniffsniffsniffsniff* I woke up to a very obvious dragon nose nudging me in the face. I opened my eyes to see Tesla sitting there. He saw I was awake, and proceeded to get me out of bed the way Toothless had told him.

"OH GROSS! Really Tesla?! No no no! Get off! I mean it-geroffa me!" I was finally able to push him back so I could get up. I got out of bed and looked at the polished metal they substituted for mirrors here. I took one look at my reflection and made a new discovery.

"Oh great. Even your drool is static charged." I shot him the flattest look possible. I grabbed a rag and wiped as much of it off of my face as possible, then fixed my hair. I gave Tesla another deadpanned look and pointed at him.

"Wake me up like that again, and I will find a way to convince Thor himself to keep the storms away from here." He actually looked a little scared at the thought.

"For a week." He froze and gave me a 'you wouldn't' look. "Would I?" I smiled and walked over to him. I reached up scratched him below the wing.

"Nah, I have no idea how I'd even talk to Thor, much less give him a good enough reason for it. I mean, if he were a prankster like Loki then he might not need one, but…oh great…now I'm talking like a philosopher." I shook my head and sat back down on the bed. For about an hour, he and I worked out hand signals and calls. We got good enough I could snap my fingers, and he would zap whatever I was looking or pointing at. We both looked up when we heard a small explosion. The remnants of an ignited Zippleback gas cloud were hanging in the air.

"That would be the breakfast bell, let's go bud!" I hopped up and grabbed my sword, slinging it over my head. I walked down the stairs out of the loft. Tesla met me outside, having jumped from the window. We walked over to the hall for breakfast. When we got there, everyone else had served up and were eating. I showed Tesla over to the fish trough, and after making sure all the dragons were going to get along, walked over to the serving table. I saw a variety of foods and grabbed a little bit of everything. I walked over and sat next to Hiccup, greeting everyone with a "good morning", which was returned in kind.

"So, Rai, you never told me what happened yesterday." Astrid pointed out. Her underlying threat from last night still stood apparently, and while she didn't sound angry, I didn't want to push it.

"Oh, right. We all just kind of went to bed right after you left Astrid, so actually, only Hiccup and I know-OW!" My head snapped forwards as a fish hit its target. I whipped my head around to see Tesla giving me a pair of innocent-eyes. I glared and threw the fish back, which he caught and ate. I turned back to the others. "Okay. Hiccup, myself, and our dragons know. Basically, what happened was…" I explained the whole scenario, Hiccup interjecting if I forgot something, or to add his own remarks. No one wanted to believe us, but it was forgotten when I said Tesla had saved me. I hadn't used his name yet, still wanting to leave that as a surprise. When I explained how I almost had to pull a sword on Hiccup, Astrid glared at both of us for being reckless and overall idiots. At the part when Tesla pounced at me came around, I avoided mentioning the emotions and memories I'd seen. I had a feeling those were too private to mention. We eventually got to the small race we had. Hiccup jumped in when I said he started pulling up and away.

"We knew the Skrill was fast, but in a dead-on race, no dragon alive can match Toothless' speed. We were cruising along, and next thing we know, a storm appears out of nowhere. Lightning was flashing and it was all we could do to get above the clouds. Right before we breached them, a single, huge bolt of lightning flashed past us. We got above the clouds when the storm just stopped. We decided it was safe and dropped below the cloud line. We didn't see Rai or the Skrill but figured since the Skrill was practically a bolt of lightning itself, it shouldn't have any problems flying through that storm."

"A little bit later, a blast of lightning shot up from a small island we were passing. I saw them on the beach and we went to land. Turns out, that single bolt of lightning that passed us earlier was them." He gestured to me and Tesla.

"What?! What do you mean it was them?! People can't be lightning, that's ridiculous!" Fishlegs stammered. I nodded in agreement.

"Actually, you're right Fishlegs, people can't be lightning. But Skrills can use it as a form of transportation. They ride inside the lightning bolt. I have to tell you, it's an amazing feeling. For a short amount of time. I have no idea how long we were riding the lightning, but soon I was feeling dehydrated, and was starting to get lightheaded. I let him know I wasn't feeling well, and we landed to give me a break." Snotlout snorted in fake disbelief.

"Are you saying you can't handle a little lightning Rai? Hah! Weak." I simply looked at him, my face a blank slate.

"Are you saying that you could be surrounding by lightning, being constantly electrocuted, having the life sucked out of you for an unknown amount of time?" I reached an arm behind me and snapped my fingers. Tesla looked over and noticed me looking at Snotlout. He gained a small grin. That human was annoying…

"Uh, yeah, that would be so easy for me. Snotlout! Snotlout! OI OI O-Abldjdnvghkfnv!" He shut up really quick after Tesla "tased" him. Everyone else laughed at his expense before continuing with our recounting of the day before. I rolled my eyes as we got to the part about the prank. Astrid stood up and slammed her fist into the table.

"So it was your idea!" I threw my hands up helplessly.

"Oh come on! It's not like anyone got hurt…'cept me. B-besides, Hiccup's the sellout!"

"D-Hey!" Hiccup shot me a look. Astrid pointed at me, leaning forward.

"And you're lucky I only slapped you. You both gave us quite the scare." We threw our hands up in defeat. Eventually we caught everyone up to last night, and the main question on everyone's minds came from Fishlegs.

"So, what'd you name him?! I figured something strong and fast…like, like Thunderhead the Bold!" Obviously, Tesla didn't like being called 'Thunderhead' and growled at him. Fishlegs gave a nervous chuckle, holding his hands up.

"Hey! How come Fishface didn't get zapped?! At least I didn't call your dragon a stupid name!" Snotlout retorted.

*Snap*

"ASPIDUBFQPWIDJPWNCPQO!"

"Anyways, no Fishlegs, I didn't name him anything like that. I gave him the name of a historically famous inventor from my time. The inventor was a brilliant man who was a master at harnessing electricity. No, not literally. No one can hold lightning, but he was able to find new ways to use it that no one had thought of." I could tell their anticipation was growing. The twins looking back and forth between each other and myself. Fishlegs was almost a giggling fit. Snotlout was still out of commission, and Astrid and Hiccup were on the edges of their seats.

"His name is…"

*ROOOOOOOAAAAARR!* Everyone jumped and a few screamed, covering their heads. They all looked up to see Tesla's head now resting on the table, with me leaning against him because I was laughing so hard. Once everyone, including myself, had recovered, I cleared my throat to get rid of the last of my giggling.

"Sorry you guys, but you were all so tense, there was no way we could pass it up."

"JUST TELL US ALREADY!" Almost everyone said or shouted.

"Alright alright, geez tough crowd. The inventor's name was Tesla." There was absolute silence as the group thought about the name.

"And I thought Fishface's name was dumb. At least his is somewhat viking-like." My face dropped into a frown and I raised my right hand in a snapping position, (I'm left handed, but I can snap better with my right…it's weird I know.) and Tesla let a few sparks race between his teeth.

"I asked Tesla if he liked the name, and he did, so that's final." Snotlout threw his arms up, fear evident on his face.

"Yeahokaysure!" I dropped my hand and turned to Fishlegs.

"Your name wasn't a bad one, but I think the name Tesla fits him pretty well. I think "Thunderhead" would be better for one of those Thunderdrums, or a Catastrophic Quakin."

"Y-yeah, maybe you're right. I'll write it down to save it for later!"

"One thing to remember is normally it's nice to ask the intelligent animal, dragon in this case, if they like the name. That way you can find something that works for both of you. Sometimes a name just sticks without realizing it at first."

"Oh, like me and Toothless. When I offered him that fish in the cove, I said something along the lines of 'Toothless…I could have sworn…' That's when his teeth popped out and he snatched the fish right from my hands. Neither of us knew it at the time, but the name stuck."

"Exactly! Alright, I'm gonna finish breakfast, then see what we can do in the air." Tesla perked up and walked to the door. "I said when I'm finished Tesla!" I laughed at the distraught look on his face.

"I really want to see Tesla ride lightning! Think you could show us?" Fishlegs said in excitement.

"Tesla?" I looked over at him, and he nodded. I nodded back and turn to Fishlegs. "He'll show you right now. I'll be out in a few minutes." Everyone scrambled to get out the door to see the new phenomenon. I heard thunder booming, sometimes I was even able to feel it through the wooden floor. Exclamations of wonder and amazement followed each one.

I soon finished eating and walked outside. Everyone was lined up at the edge of the platform. I looked up to see a lightning bolt strike Tesla and he disappeared into the clouds. Luckily there was a decent amount of cloud cover, so there was plenty of static for Tesla to build up and use. A lightning bolt raced above us, doing loops and other various moves.

Tesla dropped out of the lightning bolt above the ocean, hovering for a second. Then he started flying in a large circle with lightning trailing off of him. It was also striking him from the clouds. Eventually Tesla built up enough speed and charge to complete a full ring. At this point, even the dragons had gathered on the platform, some looking nervous, while others had looks of awe spreading across their faces.

"Uhh, what's he doing?" Snotlout asked nervously. I gently pushed to the front of the crowd to get a better look and was just as confused as anyone else. Fishlegs spoke up, a sense of wonder in his voice.

"It looks very similar to something a Typhoomerang would do!" I looked over my shoulder.

"What do you mean?!" The thunder was getting loud enough to make us shout to hear each other.

"Normally a Typhoomerang spins to create a vortex of fire. This looks very similar, but Tesla isn't using fire, he's using lightning."

"I have no idea what he's doing, or why he's doing it, but he looks about done!" Hiccup shouted while pointing up. Tesla was making his circles tighter and tighter while climbing higher in the air. Eventually he stopped spinning and just floated there.

Everything went quiet, then he curled his wings up and flung them outwards, roaring loudly. A sphere of lightning spread out from him. Somehow he stayed in the air even though he wasn't flapping his wings. The sphere expanded to somewhere around 200 feet across, then it exploded. There was no fire, but sparks of lightning were slowly raining down. If that had exploded over the Edge, and not the ocean, it would have no doubt burned everything to the ground in minutes.

"Whoa…" I said as the lightning reflected in my eyes.

"You didn't know he could do that?" Tuffnut looked at me in shock.

"Did you? I only met him yesterday guys, we may be pretty close at this point, but I still know next to nothing about him." We all stepped back as he came in for a landing. There were still sparks shooting off of him, and he was breathing hard. I ran up to him and hugged him around the neck, my hair immediately stood on end. I stepped back and looked him in the eyes. "Tesla, that was amazing! I never could've guessed that you could do that!" He seemed to turn red, turning away slightly.

"Well, I'm going to add this to the Book of Dragons! This is an amazing discovery!" Fishlegs ran inside.

"Wait up, I'll help!" Hiccup ran after him, their dragons following. Astrid walked up to us and put her hands on her hips.

"Well Tesla, I guess that makes you one of us now." Tesla looked at her in shock, then looked away, embarrassed to no end.

"Oh please, even if you guys didn't want to accept him, I'd make you." Ruff and Tuff walked up, holding their hands out, surprisingly asking Tesla for permission. He reached over and nudged both their hands, giving them permission. They both ran their hands down the opposite sides of his neck, getting a feel for his scales. They got to his wings, and started massaging them. He almost collapsed in shock from the feeling.

"OH! You've never had a Thorston massage, have you?!" Ruffnut asked. Tesla looked back at her and shook his head. Ruff and Tuff both got mischievous looks on their faces and started rubbing his wings with their hands and elbows. Tesla actually collapsed this time, sinking to the ground in relief.

"Oh, don't you worry, we'll give you the best massage we can, free of charge after that light show you just put on." Tuff said. I laughed at the expression on Tesla's face. He looked baked out of his mind.

"Well, my dragon's out of commission for a while, let's go inside and see what the bookworms have gotten themselves into." I said to Astrid. She nodded.

"Probably a good idea. They were like this a few times before, and it took convincing their dragons to help to get them out of the hall, even for an hour." We shared a laugh as we walked in and immediately stopped. There was parchment everywhere! Toothless shook one piece off his head, looking quite annoyed at it. So annoyed in fact, that he shot a tiny fire ball at it, leaving nothing but a small scorch mark on the floor. I stood in the doorway, looking on in shock.

"H-HOW?! You've been in here for two minutes, TOPS!"

"Shh, we're trying to figure this out."

"…Fishlegs…did you jus-!"

"SHHHHH!" Astrid and I looked at each other, and a smirk built up on my face.

««{{¤}}»»

"H-HEY! Astrid! What are yo-OW! Hey! Rai what are you doing?!" I grabbed a pile of blank pages, walking over to Toothless, who in turn torched the entire pile, and looking immensely pleased with himself the whole time. I picked up another pile and set it in front of the Night Fury, watching him blast it with a happy warble. One piece of burnt parchment floated down in front of him, catching his attention. He started batting at it like a cat, pupils wide.

"Saving you from a life of work."

"Come on guys! We almost had it!" Astrid just rolled her eyes as she held him against the table.

"The last time you "almost had it" you stayed up for two whole nights! And he's not stopping until every last piece is gone."

"There was an error last time, we had to start over!"

"Well, I was gonna leave one pile…no…half a pile." I walked over to Fishlegs and held out my hand. He had been trying, and failing, to hide the rest of the parchment from a fiery doom. He shook his head, spreading his arms out in front of the table behind him. I rolled my eyes and looked at Meatlug, who sauntered over and nudged a complaining Fishlegs out of the way. I looked at the rest of the parchment. There was about three piles. I looked over at Astrid. We shrugged our shoulders and she let Hiccup stand up. He looked ready to ring our necks, and simply grabbed the parchment scattered in front of him, stacking it up into a neat pile. He set it down and looked at us.

"You are more evil than you can even imagine…"

"We know." We said in unison as we walked out, giving each other a high five.
