~~I take out some of the old schematics of failed prototypes and wasted broken projects and place them in appropriate containers. Once I'm finished I stare at the newly cleaned station and it's missing so much character. So I decided to place schematics of some of the successful prototypes, Mech Units, and some other things to give it that character back. But I strongly feel like I'm missing something and I take out my sketchbook. I open it up, tear out a few pages of Berk's outdoor scenery, pin them around the wall in the bay, and I open to the page of the Night Fury. I stare at the detailed sketch and back towards Sneaky. I tear it out and pin it in the center of the wall centered right above the workbench.
"What if." Where the last words before I started planning into the night.~~

Two hours of sleep. But no Helena you had to stay up the whole night. THE WHOLE NIGHT. I mentally scold myself. I can't believe that I spent the whole night sketching and planning. Its official, Gobber is going to confine me in my FORGE station again. But I should be fine if I can get to the arena before 1400 when training starts.
I run back into the house and into my room. Once there I take off my dusty clothing and place some cleaner ones on along with my replacement cloak. Content on my slight change of attire I fix up my hair and braids and head downstairs for a quick meal before I head to the arena. Downstairs I grab two pieces of salmon and eat one saving the other for later and stuff it into my satchel. Along with grabbing my shield and unwedging mom's ax from the table whilst walking towards the door. I open the door and walk out only to collide with someone. "Ah, there you are."
"Hey Gobber." Here it comes.
"I was wondering where ye went. Now, remember at 1400 you are with the others in handling the Nadder today." He informs.
"Yeah, can't forget that for today."
"Ok, just so you remember." And with that he turns around and heads down the hill.
"ALSO HELENA!" He yells halfway down the hillside.
"YES?"
"18 HUNDRED NUTS, BOLTS, SCREWS, AND NAILS COMBINED TOAL NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE YOU TURN IN TODAY. PUNISHMENT FOR NOT CHECKING IN AT THE FORGE THIS MORNING!" With that he continues his trek down the hill towards the arena.
"Sure thing, boss." Might as well buy some new fabrics before training then.
I head towards the market that is located at the edge of the village before the docks and the bridge to the arena. As I'm aprotching I couldn't help but notice the fact that Snotlout and the twins are tailing me, no pun intended, as I'm walking towards the market plaza. I reach the market plaza and start to look for the fabrics shop, since most of the tribe was out at sea looking for the nest, it was easy to spot. I enter the shop and Mrs. Ingerman spots me. "Good morning Helena," she jokes. "What are you looking for today?"
"Afternoon Mrs. Ingerman, uh you wouldn't have any leather and black cloth in stock?"
"actually I do, I have plenty of your cloth and uh, let me see here, ah found them." She holds up a large roll of leather. " Thought Gobber bought it all, but it appears that is not the case. How much do you need dear?"
"Uh, I guess I'll need all the black cloth and maybe half of the leather."
"Ok dearie." She places the roll of cloth on the stall counters and proceeds to unroll the leather and cuts it to length. She then rerolls the cut portion and places it with the cloth.
"How much would this be Mrs. Ingerman?"
"Uh, let me think for a sec dear. How about three gold and four silver?"
"Okay." But instead of what she asked for I placed five gold pieces on the stand counter and picked up my purchase.
"Hey Helena?" She asks as I start to leave.
"Yes, Mrs. Ingerman?"
"This is five gold pieces. You sure you don't want come change?"
"Nope. You can keep the rest." With that I leave the shop.
"You're much too kind, thank you Helena! Come again!" She shouted and waved as I exited the door, my cloth and leather in hand.
I walk into the plaza but couldn't overhear the fact that the terrible trio is still around snickering behind me, this time they got pails with water sloshing around with them. As 'we' exit the market plaza I start heading back home hoping to get these materials home before training and the fact I also don't want to pass out comes to mind also. I enter the house and place my purchase onto the kitchen table, turn around recollect my gear and head back out. "HEY MECHLESS!"
I turn to see Snotlout and the twins holding their buckets at the ready. "Yes Insecure?"
"HEY I AM NOT INSECURE. Besides, the twins and I thought we should help you."
"Help me in what way?" Three buckets of water, this is going to end well.
"Well, we thought we could help you clean up. Given the fact that you seem a bit dusty."
"And I need help because?"
"NOW!" They toss all three of the buckets content on me thus completely drenching my cloak and soaking everything else. I look back towards the trio and find them holding their sides in their laughter.
"THE NERVE!" I growled.
I walk over to Snotlout and grab is front collar and pick him up. The trio stops laughing. I Hold him up and into my face so he can see my eyes.
"Woah, hey, since when could you-."
"Since always Snotface." I hold him closer, he gulps, the twins start to back up. Saying something about calming down and it was just a prank.
"So, it seems like you need help too."
'What do you mean?" He questions and he is noticeably shaking too.
"I think you need some help with your headache." My eyes shift. His eyes widen in fear.
"What headache? I don't have a-" He never got to finish as I threw him towards an adjacent house, knocking him out.
"Gothi should be able to patch you up." I said to his unconscious form.
I start to crack my neck and knuckles and turned my head towards the twins, they make a run for it dragging a unconscious egocentric cousin of mine away. With the trio gone I head back into the house for a dry pair of clothes. I sigh. "So much for that."
After getting some dry clothes I once again gather my gear and head towards the arena. It's a thirty minute walk, but I've now got twenty five minutes to get there. Gonna be late once more.
-Location: Berk; Training Arena-

I reach the arena just as everyone else including Snotlout enter the arena with Goober above in the stands. "Alright ye six." He welcomes.
"Today we will be working with the Deadly Nadder." He opens the Nadder's cage forcing us to run into the maze that he had set up.
"Today is all about ATTACK. Nadders are light and quick on their feet." The Nadder jumps onto the top of one of the maze walls and jumps from one top to another.
"It's you job to be lighter and quicker." The Nadder jumps down and runs into the twins.
"The Deadly Nadder has a blind spot. It is your job to find it, hide in it, and strike."
The twins push themselves in front of the Nadder's beak which was it's blind spot. The Nadder turns its head sideways trying to get a better look at the twins. "Urgh, do you ever bathe?" Asked Ruff.
"Of course I do. It's you who smells butt-elf." Tuff retorts.
"Do not!"
"Do to! If you don't like it then get your own blind spot!" They start butting heads.
"Do not! And how about I give you a blind spot!" The Nadder tired of the bickering opens it's maw and blasts them with it's flame.
"Blind spot yes, death spot, eh, not so much." Gobber chuckles and watches as both the twins and the Nadder separate.
The Nadder spots Fishlegs and fires a quick blast of flames at him. "AAAHHH!"
"I'm starting to really question you teaching methods!" He holds up his shield to block the incoming spikes, once they hit the shield he breaks them in half with the wall and continues running away.
"You'll get used to it Fishlegs!" He calls back.
Gobber looks around and sees me swaying on the sides. "HELENA WAKE UP, YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING."
I slightly wake up form my quick dose and start running away from the charging Nadder. "STAND STILL TWO-LEGS!" Came a very angry female voice.
I start weaving my way through the maze causing me to lose the Nadder with all the turns. I lean up against the wall and slide down, but I'm interrupted. "Phsst, Helena, get down." Ashton warns as the Nadder turns the corner.
"Where did you go little one?" It cooed.
Snotlout sensing he has a shot at impressing Ashton stands up. " Don't worry, I got this." He throws his hammer at the Nadder, ultimately and completely missing.
Ashton turns to him and glares, hard. "Hey the sun was in my eyes, if you wanted me to block the sun I could do that." Ironic really, the weather is heavy dark clouds, and he's complaining about the sun.
The Nadder takes little notice of me as she chases after Aston and Snotlout. I make my way back towards where Gobber is standing and wait. I start to feel myself drift off once more before I hear Ashton yell my name. "HELENA!"
He was jumping off a falling wall that the Nadder had caused and he had his ax in the air as he came down. Quickly I put my shield up and it caught his ax. But at the same time, he landed on top of me, causing both of us to hit the ground. Ashton is the first to recover and he looks around and spots the Nadder searching under the walls for him. Seeing his chance to strike he grabs his ax, but, it is still embedded in my shield firmly. When he finds his ax isn't budging he places his hand on my chest and starts to yank his ax out. THE ABSOLUTE NERVE OF THIS GUY!
"OOOO, love on the battlefield." Ruffnut jokes.
"Eh, he could do better." Judges Tuffnut. The rest of the trainees crowd behind them watching
"Ashton. Let. Go. Ow." I try and get him to get off but he isn't budging.
He give up and stands, places a foot on my chest and starts the yank the shield and ax off once more. HOW DARE HE. On his last attempt he yanks shield and all off my arm and into the charging Nadder's face. "OW! My beautiful scales." And the Nadder retreats back towards it's cage.
I get off the ground and start staring at Ashton who in turn, turns around and starts to point his ax head at me. "Is this some kind of joke to you?! Our parents' war is about to become ours. Figure what side you're-" I yank his ax out of his hand, throwing it across the arena, causing it to embed itself in the stone wall.
"What. Why did you?" I cross my arms and start tapping my right foot.
"You DARE accuse ME of taking all this," I gesture around us. "ALL of this. AS A JOKE!" I hiss.
Gobber calls for Gothi and races down into the arena. The others getting frightened start to slowing creep towards the entrance gate.
"You accuse me, YET HERE YOU ARE, FORCEFULLY AND RUDELY TOUCHING ME!"
"What I did no such thing."
"HOFFERSON I WOULDN'T BE YELLING AT YOU IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT." I jump at him, only to be stopped by Gobber tackling me to the ground.
"ARG LET. ME. GO! I'M NOT DONE WITH HIM YET!" I start to struggle against him.
Gobber turns towards Ashton who is still stunned at the events. "Lad, I highly suggest that, woah nelly-," I push him off but he repins me to the ground. Gothi closing in.
"That you, oof, get out of here, I honestly do not know how long we can hold her. But, she has never gotten this angry before, so Gothi and I don't know what the lass will do to ya."
"GET OFF ME! I NEED TO BREAK HIS ARM!"
"Oh never mind. But still you need to leave, prepare an apology for when she's a whole not calmr. But till then. OW. You better have not have bitten me lassy."
"I SAID GET OFF!" My hood fold off showing my ears, eyes, and scales.
"Gobber. What is she?"
"ASHTON I SAID LEAVE, I'LL ANSWER YER QUESTIONS LATER WHEN SHE ISN'T. TRYIN'. TO. KILL YA! NOW GO!" And with that he takes off, completely forgetting his ax.
"Gothi! I need the nip mead!" He yells, Gothi already in my face quickly mixes the nip mead and pours it down my throat. My body starts to calm, my mind starts to get fuzzy, and exhaustion hits me. My world fades to black.

Please drop a Review or Comment.
Yes, I know that in previous chapters I said that these would get longer as I started posting more. And for that I'm sorry to break that saying. But this chapter's length as will probably some later chapters will be shorter due to the fact, that I wish to keep this story going. I really shouldn't take forever to type a chapter yes, but I have started a new job, I am getting ready for my fall semester classes, and I write whenever I can. But fear not, THE GREAT 001, will never post a chapter that is under 2,000 words. REGARDLESS!
On another note. I may or may not have been slightly sidetracked and wrote another story... That is coming soon... Hints of it are on my profile. HEH.
Better notes to come.
Thank you those who reviewed chapter 5, I may have to start doing some answers at the end of the chapters now... Maybe, I'll see.
