Hiccup was smiling the second he entered the door. Stoick was seated at the table, waiting patiently for him to enter. Stoick soon stood up and spoke. "Hiccup my boy." Hiccup held his hand up and eyed his father. "Now you notice me!" He exclaimed with a sense of anger. Stoick stopped mid walk. "Hiccup, what's wrong?"
Hiccup placed his axe, formally his mothers, upon the wall. "You, you're the problem." Stoick was confused. "But, how?" Hiccup sighed. "You really don't know, do you dad." Stoick bit his lower lip, attempting to decode what Hiccup was saying. "I don't understand, you've become a warrior, what is there left to worry about, or be angry at?"
Hiccup chuckled. "For the chief, you can be quite dumb at times. Who was it that trained me? Who was it that made me feel welcome when you didn't? Who was it that raised me from a child? Who was it that helped grant me another chance at life?" Stoick thought long and hard.
Hiccup, having had enough of the past five minutes of silence, continued. "Allow me to tell you who. I was trained by the Hoffersons, I was made welcome by Gobber, Dagmar and Birger. I was raised by Gobber. And Astrid was the one who gave me another chance at life. You fail to see all that. Because you just want your son to be a warrior like you."
Stoick felt guilt slowly start to build in his chest. "Hiccup. I... I didn't know you had this in yo..." Hiccup cut him off. "Didn't know! You never bothered to look. Why do you think I was bullied in the first place, it was because you didn't bother to look after me. You neglected me, ignored me. And this, the entire tribe started to follow your view on me."
Hiccup paused, taking a deep breath before Stoick glanced down. "You should feel ashamed that you weren't part of my life. The past fifteen years have been all Gobber and the Hoffersons. Never you. My own blood never cared for me. Is that the way of the Haddock family? Is it?" Stoick kept his gaze away from Hiccup.
"I.." Stoick began before Hiccup interrupted him. "Is it?" Stoick sighed. "No, it isn't." Hiccup smirked in satisfaction. "And thus, what would mother think about you leaving me all those years, ignoring me, making me feel like I wasn't part of the tribe. All because I wasn't who you wanted me to be." Stoick sighed.
"Hiccup, I...I underestimated you.. I was blind.." Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Don't you get it dad. I managed to thrive on my own for fifteen years years. Fifteen years I was alone without blood family to care for me, to teach me how to train." Hiccup paused. Taking a few deep breaths.
'Am I really about to do this?' Hiccup asked himself. Bracing for what he was about to say. Hiccup bit his lower lip. Stoick quickly spoke. "Son, I'm sorry for what I did. I really am. I just, I was blinded by my hatred for dragons. I failed to see what you truly were in my blindness. Please, come back to me, love me..." Hiccup silenced him.
"No dad. I had no family to care for me in my life time. The only blood family I had that actually cared for me and attempted to teach me how to fight was killed when I was four. Now you expect me to just want to jump into your arms as your little warrior. I can not accept your apology. Because you're not sincere about it. You just want the warrior part of me. You don't care for the rest. I will not return to the only family I have left if all they've done is ignored me for the past eleven years, neglected me. Ignored it when others physically abuse me."
Stoick blinked quickly. "Son, I. I mean it. I am sorry..." Hiccup narrowed his eyes. "I don't think you get it still. I don't need you anymore. I can't call you dad, you were anything but a dad. A Chief, yes. A dad, no." Hiccup started heading up stares. Coming to a stop at his room. Stoick soon called back to him. "Hiccup, I said sorry, I'm sorry. I really am.." Hiccup quickly turned and faced him. "If this is what the Haddocks truly are, then I'm ashamed to be a part of this family. I revoke my family. I refuse to be a Haddock anymore. I revoke my claim as heir to this tribe. And I, I regret ever calling you my father. Good night, Chief."
With that said and done. Hiccup walked into his room. Stoick made his way to the table and sat down. Tears threatening to explode from his face. "What have I done?" A roar was suddenly heard. Hiccup quickly made his way down stairs, grabbing his axe and heading outside. Stoick sat, staring down at the table. Birger quickly entered.
"Chief, dragon raid." Stoick remained still, continuing to look at the table. "Chief, sir?" Stoick quickly shook his head. "Dragons. What've we got?" Birger quickly replied. "Gronckles, Nadders, Zipplebacks and Nightmares. No signs of any Night Furies yet sir." Stoick nodded. "Good, have the men fight back at once.
Hiccup was fast to find the gang. Watching as a Gronckle slowly snuck up on them. Hiccup leapt into action. Running fast, he threw the axe, the blade managing to sink into the Gronckles eye. Blood gushing out. Quickly pulling out his crossbow. Hiccup fired several shots at the dragon. Each bolt impaling the dragon. Moving forward. Hiccup removed the axe and quickly tore into the dragon.
Letting his anger out upon the beast. Tearing it's wing off with the axe. Hiccup quickly slammed down upon the Gronckles head. Killing it in an instant. Behind him, the gang watched. Fishlegs and the twins stood with fear. Snoutlout rolled his eyes and Astrid, she watched the whole thing. 'I was a part of that.' She thought.
Hiccup soon turned and walked to the gang. "Ok, I'm giving you all an order. Fishlegs, you and Ruffnut take the south side of town. Snoutlout, you and Tuff take the north. Astrid, you and I are fighting dragons." The gang was quick to nod before Snoutlout walked up to Hiccup. "What makes you think I'm going to listen to you Fishbones?"
Hiccup smirked. "If you refuse to listen to me. I'll put my axe between your eyes. Now get moving before I slice you arm off your body and feed it to a dragon." Snoutlout was quick to narrow his eyes before turning away. Astrid watched with wonder.
"So, what was that all about?" Hiccup sighed. "Let's just say, the chief thinks he can finally be with me after fifteen years of ignoring me and neglecting me. I just let out some of the fifteen year buildup of anger upon that dragon and threatened Snoutlout with the another lot." Astrid nodded. The sound of whining soon caught their ears.
"NIGHT FURY"
"GET DOWN"
Hiccup, without a second thought, quickly turned round to see the Night Fury aimed at them. Without thinking, Hiccup leapt at Astrid, tackling her to the ground as the blast missed them. As the dust cleared. Hiccup got up, helping Astrid to her feet. "I think we've got to deal with that dragon before it deals with us." Astrid nodded in agreement.
"SECOND NIGHT FURY"
"GET DOWN"
Hiccup widen his eyes. "Two Night Furies. We've got a problem. A serious problem."
Another transformers reference in here. Dates back to one of the Bay films. But it's split up into two parts during the Stoick/Hiccup talk.
This story is going to go darker the further in we go. No sex. It's not rated M for that. But rated M for the blood and gore and at times, language.
Already, another view into the many changes I've made to this particular take/universe.
