I know. I know. I'm like 3 days behind schedule and really upset about it. Sorry for the delay and to make up for it, I will be posting another new chapter on Saturday. Hopefully, y'all will put away your tomatoes then...on with the chapter!
At the edge. The gang is slowly starting to come to their senses.
Thanks to Hiccup's 'welcome', the entire gang blacked out and fell into the water. Dagur had wanted to just leave them there as revenge for destroying his island (BTW, Dagur and Mala won't get married in this fanfiction)but Eira, being the goody-two-shoes of the group, felt that it would be heartless to leave them there. She also pointed out that they still needed to find out why they were here. Dagur, with a lot of persuasion from Heather and Gustav, agreed. As for Hiccup though, he was in shock, not able to say anything. The riders' dragons, excluding Toothless and Hiccup, carried the gang back to the edge.
At the clubhouse
"Gustav! Shut up! I think they're waking up." Eira whisper-shouted at Gustav who was pondering about life aloud
Slowly, one-by-one the gang woke up. First was surprisingly Snotlout who usually hated waking up. Unfortunately for him though, he soon fainted after Windshear came too close and started sniffing him.
"Where are we?" Astrid asked, slowly taking in her surroundings
"I feel like Uncle Lagnar after he was turned inside out by a-" Tuffnut told his sister
"No! I'd like to be able to sleep tonight!" Gobber interupted
"Who are you and how did you find us?" Heather asked, taking out her double-sided ax
"W-e-l-l, um, y-y-you s-e-e..." Fishlegs stammered
"We don't need to tell ye that. Now if you'll excuse us, we'll take Hiccup and be on our way." Stoick calmly stated
"WHAT?! You can't just say something like that and leave for two reasons: 1. From what I've heard you haven't been that great of a dad" Stoick turned red at this statement
"2. How exactly are you going to leave? Need I remind you, we blew up your ship?" Dagur said
"Wait... So it really is you Dagur. And lemme guess the black haired one with the feisty attitude is your sister?" Snotlout asked
"Yup, and I'm Gustav. This is Eira. We'll give you one of our ships for you to leave." Gustav answered
"NO! We're not leaving until we see Hiccup! What part of that do you muttonheads not understand?" Gobber yelled
No one noticed the tall figure dressed in an ordinary brown leather tunic standing towards the back of the room, until...
"Guys" Tuff said sort of whisper-shouting
No one took notice of him and kept arguing
"GUYS!" Tuff yelled
"What?!" Everyone asked in unison
He then pointed to the boy, CORRECTION , young man near the back of the clubhouse. Everyone just stared at him for like 10 minutes until the young man finally decided to break the silence.
He took a deep breath and said in a calm voice "What are you doing here?"
No one answered. Fishlegs was in shock. Gobber was sorta confused. The twins felt sleepy. Snotlout was irratated. Astrid couldn't stop staring at Hiccup and Stoick was hurt that his son would ask something like this.
"Allow me to repeat. What are you doing here?" Hiccup asked
"Son" Stoick started to approach Hiccup "Please let me-" But he was cut off by a low grumbling sound and before him he saw the Night Fury.
"Easy Toothless." Hiccup said while placing a hand on his head
Snotlout panicked and withdrew his ax. Dagur had however seen him and immediately pinned him to the wall face first. He took the ax out of his hands and threw it into fire.
"We don't use those kinds of weapons against dragons here, SnotHAT." Dagur snarled
"Let him go Dagur. He isn't worth it." Hiccup said
"The tension continues to build." Tuff whispered to his sister, who nodded in agreement
Disgruntled, Dagur let Snotlout go. Snotlout whimpered and hid behind Astrid who in return, rolled her eyes in disgust.
"What do you want from us? Don't you get it?" Hiccup impatiently explained "I'm never coming back to Berk."
Astrid stepped forward "Hiccup-" She started
Heather stepped in between them. "Leave him alone." The raven-haired girl said
Astrid grumbled. Hiccup and Heather seemed to sort of have this connection. She didn't understand it. Whatever it was, she didn't like it.
"And who are you to say that I can't talk to him." Astrid fired back
"I am his best human friend and second-in-command." Heather said back
Eira immediately noticed the tension and being a love expert found out what was going on really quick. She came in between the two warriors and said "Break it up guys."
"But-" Heather started
"No buts." Eira said her voice stern
Heather gave Astrid one last glare before turning to Hiccup who was arguing with his father.
"You don't understand! You treated me in the worst possible way imagionable. Why do you want me back?" Hiccup yelled
"I want to apoligise, son." Stoick sad, truly heartbroken now
"NO! I AM NOT YOUR SON AND I NEVER WILL BE!" Hiccup yelled at the top of his lungs
Everyone stared at him in shock. Hiccup had stood up to the chief of Berk. He stared his father down with the most anger the riders had ever seen. His chest slowly rising up and down in anger.
"Now if you'll excuse me. I need to get some fresh air." Saying so, he climbed onto Toothless, who was also glaring at Stoick for angering his rider and took off.
Hether sighed and climbed onto Windshear and went after Hiccup.
In the air
"Hiccup. We need to talk." Heather said
"We already are." Hiccup joked
"Hiccup I'm serious."
"Alright."
"About what happened at the edge..."
"Who does he think he is?! Barging in and just thinking that I would come back with him. Dragons are my life Heather." He sighed and said "I don't know what I'd do without Toothless" He added quietly
Heather was shocked at his sudden outburst
"Look hiccup. I know you hate him and all but please just try and get along with him. Let him stay for a couple days with the rest of the group. We've got a couple of guest huts near the other side of the island."
"From what I've seen, you don't seem to get along that well with Astrid. Why do you want her to stay?"
"I'm trying to do what's best Hiccup. Now stop being so boar-headed and lets get back to the edge." Heather said
Hiccup smiled and said, "What would I do without you?"
"Probably be stuck in a cavern somewhere." Heather joked
The duo turned back to the edge
Suddenly, a large explosion comes from Gustav's hut.
"Looks like the twins have already exhausted our supply of Monstorus Nightmare gel." Hiccup sighed
"Let's get back before anything else explodes." Heather said
And another chapter is done! I am so sorry for not updating properly! I'll make it up by posting on Saturday, Promise! Next week, I've got a couple days holiday, so I'll update more then. I LOVED writing Heather vs. Astrid. I'm gonna add so much more of them arguing! Can't wait.
The next chapter is about the riders and the Berk gang trying to get along. It's gonna be hilarious! Until then though bye!
