Me: Hey there guys, so if you noticed I deleted the Author's Note cause there is no need of it. If you guys have not read it, short summary: I was supposed to have a surgery for my kidney on the 29th but since I was sick, the surgery was rescheduled on February.
Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year's!
Thanks for the reviews: Guest (chapter one), Vanitas' Queen21 (chapter 2) and Guest (chapter 2).
Vanitas' Queen21 (Ch.2) – I hope you do like this remake of my original since I am adding extra things into this remake and I hope it turns out pretty good like my original. Well – Enjoy!
Guest (Ch.2) – I'm glad you this story but Anna and Merida are not related. If you read the original, Merida wasn't even in the fanfic so it's not going to be a Mericcup, sorry. Hope you continue reading this.
All said and done, onward to the remake!
Hiccup and Anna were staring at the volcano with determine eyes.
"Ready when you are," said Anna, softly.
Hiccup nodded before chuckling a bit, "Well this is ironic."
"How so?" asked Anna.
"I ran away to avoid killing a dragon but look what we are about to do," stated Hiccup.
Anna blinked her eyes before forming a smile and started laughing. She looked over at him, "I always wonder, why it is so important for a Viking to kill a dragon?"
"Killing a dragon, it shows true strength and glory to the other Vikings," explained Hiccup. He scratched his head, "To me, it was really important to try and kill one so that my Father can finally see me as a true Viking."
"Hiccup," said Anna, softly before smiling. "I have a feeling that fate has a different destiny for you. Not as a Viking but someone else, someone that can help others in need."
"…Thanks, Anna," said Hiccup before smirking. "You know, if anyone back on Berk knows what I am about to do…they will treat me some kind of hero or something."
"Why?" asked Anna.
"Because I found the Dragon's Nest that so many other generations of Vikings in the past have failed to do," explained Hiccup. He looked down at his hands, "Even…Even my own Father couldn't find it."
"Impressive," murmured Anna before sighing. "Your Father failed to notice your intelligence. Your people shouldn't be killing dragons just for strength and glory. War is never the answer."
Hiccup smiled, softly before the two of them ordered their dragon's to blast the volcano wall.
Meanwhile in Berk, Stoick woke up with a smile on his face before getting up and started getting ready as today, his son would get the honor to kill his very first dragon.
A Monstrous Nightmare, only the bravest Vikings can handle this beast.
Stoick planned to give some pointers to his son on how to deal with this creature but when he went downstairs, his son was not there. Hiccup normally was the one that cooks.
'He probably left to the forest to get some practice in,' thought Stoick.
The Chief sighs and decided to go to the Mead Hall to get something to eat there. When he got there, he spotted his best friend, Gobber eating his breakfast.
"Stoick," greeted Gobber, happily. He went over to the Chief, "Today is the day. Excited I bet."
Stoick laughed, "Excited? No my friend. I'm thrilled! My son, my son is going to kill his very first dragon. Never would I think I get to see the day that my son will get these glories honor."
"Aye, the poor lad was never notice. You know with all of his crazy inventions and the destructions he caused all this years," said Gobber as he adjusted his stone tooth. "Well that's until he showed his true talents during Dragon training."
"Aye but that's what I don't get," said Stoick as he rubbed his chin. "Why would he need to hide it? If he was truly this good, then I would have allowed him to join some of those Dragon raids. Even make him your assistant on training the other teens."
Gobber shrugs his shoulders, "Don't know Stoick. Hiccup is one strange fellow. Ever since he became my little apprentice, I notice that he had quite a mind."
Stoick nodded.
"Now if ya would excuse me, I need to get the arena ready for young Hiccup," said Gobber as he placed his hand onto Stoick's shoulder. "See ya in the arena."
"Very well Gobber," said Stoick before getting some breakfast. Once he was finished, he went throughout his day and doing his duties.
When noon came, everyone in the village started heading to the killing arena as they want to know how the small teen can kill a powerful and dangerous dragon.
But for Stoick, he was getting rather concern and he rarely gets worried but he hasn't seen his son at all. He even went out and checked several locations where his son would normally be but no luck.
He asked the other teenagers but none of them know where Hiccup could be.
Stoick went to the forge to find Gobber packing some swords, axes and other weapons that Hiccup could wield.
"Aye, Stoick, I was about to head over to the arena. What are you doing here?" said Gobber.
"I was…wondering if you have since Hiccup?" asked Stoick.
Gobber scratched his chin with his hook hand, "Sorry Stoick but I haven't seen the lad all morning."
"Thank you Gobber, do you have any ideas where he could be at least? I have looked almost everywhere," said Stoick.
"Maybe he is at the forest doing some last minute practicing," suggested Gobber.
"That is what I thought but he has not shown up," said Stoick.
Gobber tapped his chin, "Let me go check if the lad left me a note on his workspace. He did that the last time when he went out to get more supplies which took him almost all day."
"Thank you Gobber, I'll be waiting at the killing arena if you find anything," said Stoick. He left and headed over to the arena.
After half an hour, Gobber came to and walked over to Stoick. The Blacksmith took out a parchment along with Hiccup's new helmet.
Stoick read the letter before widening his eyes. He looked over at Gobber, seriously, "Have everyone search in the forest – now!"
The Blacksmith nodded before shouting out to the villagers to go to the forest and to find Hiccup. Stoick sighs sadly before looking up the sky.
"Hiccup…my son…why didn't I listen to you?"
Everyone being searching for their missing heir but after four hours of looking, there was no sign of the small Viking. They looked from Raven Point to the shores of Berk but found nothing.
"Stoick, I don't want to sound rude or anything…but," said Gobber as he rubbed his head. "Someone has to take down that Monstrous Nightmare. You don't have to worry; Hiccup can take care of himself."
Stoick sighs, "Very well – Astrid, come here!"
"What do you need Chief?" wondered a young girl with blond hair, blue eyes and had axe strapped behind her.
"You'll be taking my son's place," said Stoick.
Astrid widens her eyes before nodding her head, slowly. Stoick nodded before ordering the others to head back to the killing arena.
Astrid stood there for moment before smirking happily. She was going to kill her very first dragon and ready to show them what she can do.
'Yes, I finally get my chance,' thought Astrid, happily. That's when she looked back at the forest, 'I wonder whatever happened to Hiccup? I mean sure he wasn't a very good fighter but recently he started to show some skills – wait! Why in Thor's name am I saying?!'
Because he was your childhood friend.
Astrid looked around before taking out her axe, "W-Who's there?"
I'm you.
Astrid made a face, 'Great, I'm talking to myself but…what that voice said is true. Hiccup was my best friend when we were children.'
The young blond Viking sighs before walking back to the killing arena with new determination in her eyes. She looked up at the sky before closing her eyes.
'I promise Hiccup. I will kill this dragon under your honor as your best friend. I'm sorry that I wasn't with you when everyone was treating you horribly and I did nothing to stop it. Someday…when I find you, everything is going to change. I will be your friend once again and I will stand by your side this time.'
Astrid let out a sigh before walking into the killing arena.
"Wish me luck, Hiccup."
-Dragon's Island-
The blue fire blast destroyed a part of the volcanic wall which made an opening and caused all the dragons to soar out of the volcano, quickly.
Hiccup tapped onto Toothless' side as a signal to tell him to fire another fire blast. When he did, the two teens waited until they heard a powerful roar.
The teens tightened their hold onto their dragon's cable and braced themselves for an intense fight. The destroyed wall they made was cracking up which caused the entire wall to fall down.
Hiccup and Anna looked up to see a massive bluish-gray dragon with red spikes, three pairs of eyes, bumps and warts all over her body and somewhat like a peach belly.
She looked down and narrowed her eyes at Hiccup and Anna before giving out a loud roar to the two Night Furies. She began firing at them with her large fireballs.
Both Night Furies dodged the attack easily before flying to the sky.
Hiccup looked down at the massive dragon to see if there were any weak points or blind spots but found nothing. That's when he noticed the dragon had wings.
"Anna! That dragon has wings! Let's see if she can use them!"
"You got it!" shouted Anna.
The two of them flew up before diving down and signaled their partners to fire at the wings of the massive dragon. The fire blast caused her to go down.
Both teens saw how the dragon recovered rather quickly and spread her wings before starting to fly towards them.
"Well now we know that bully can fly," murmured Anna.
Hiccup nodded before looking up at the dark clouds and got an idea. He shouted, "Anna, up now!"
She nodded before following Hiccup up to the clouds while the queen was following after them. The queen had catch up and was about to open her massive mouth when the two Night Furies vanished out of her sight.
The dragon turned around a couple of times as she was trying to find the two Night Furies. Suddenly, two blue fire blast hit behind her and then another. She didn't know where they were coming from which anger her to the point where she let out a massive firewall around her.
"Hiccup! Get out of there! That thing is going crazy!" shouted Anna, fearing for her new friend.
Toothless looked over to see the massive fire and quickly dived down to avoid the incoming flames. The Night Fury flew over to where Jade was at before giving her a small cuddle.
Hiccup had time to see where he was at, was now covered in flames. He gave Anna a smile, "Thanks a lot."
"Don't mention it. Now shall we finish this?" said Anna.
Hiccup nodded before the two of them flew over by the sight of the queen dragon.
"Hey, is that all you got?!" shouted Hiccup. "Some dragon you are!"
The queen dragon growled at him before trying to get a hold of them but couldn't keep up with the Night Fury's speed. She shook her head before diving down towards them.
Jade and Toothless flew down and waited for their signal.
Both teens waited until they heard the queen dragon opening her mouth.
"Now!" shouted Hiccup and Anna.
Two blue fire blasted went straight to the queen's mouth which caused a small explosion. That's when she noticed the island was coming closer. She spread her wings to make her slow down her speed but it didn't work.
The queen saw her wings were damaged from the attacks of the two Night Furies. The small holes were small at first but they started to open wider by the minute. She wouldn't be able to stop for the incoming impact.
The two Night Furies quickly soar up once the massive dragon hit the ground and caused a massive explosion. They flew up while dodging the spikes of the dragon's back and avoiding the massive tail.
With a small push, Hiccup and Anna were pushed off from their partner's backs and landed on the ground. Hiccup quickly went over to Anna and used his body to cover her from the cloud of dust from the explosion.
Their Night Furies act as a second shield for them.
After a few minutes, the Night Furies let down their wings while Hiccup let go of Anna.
The teens slowly walked over at the destroyed remains of the massive dragon before Anna let out a squeal of happiness.
"We did it Hiccup! We did it! The dragons are finally free!"
Hiccup simply nodded when suddenly he felt something warm on his lips. He blinked a couple of times before seeing that Anna was kissing him.
He let out a small noise which caused Anna to break free.
Both teens stood there in shock until Hiccup cleared his throat and rubbed his head.
"Um…well I'm glad that the dragons are no longer have to … um take any livestock now. I wonder what they are going to do with their new freedom."
Anna while blushing replied, "W-Well um…I have no idea but I-I guess – oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to kiss you like that!"
"N-No, i-it's fine, really. There is no need to apologize," said Hiccup while his cheeks were slightly crimson.
Anna sighs in relief before looking over at the active volcano. She smiled, softly, "Hiccup, mind coming with me inside of the volcano?"
"Why?" asked Hiccup.
"You see, volcanic materials are quite valuable and in my kingdom, we used the volcanic soil to grow the vegetables since it's quite rich," explained Anna.
"I didn't know that," murmured Hiccup before tapping his chin. "But then again at Berk, there's not much use in vegetables minus cabbages."
"We just started eating the vegetables since the first Dragon raid," said Anna before adjusting her bag. She walked over to the opening to the volcano, "Shall we?"
Hiccup nodded before stopping and looked back at the remains of the dragon. He smiled a bit before going after Anna, deep inside the volcano.
"So…what are we looking for?" asked Hiccup.
"Well volcanic soil is located anyway inside the volcano but what I'm looking for are – ah! These, look!" said Anna before taking out a crystal like stone from the ground.
"What…is that?" wondered Hiccup.
"Gems…I think or crystals," replied Anna before placing it inside her bag. "Sometimes volcanic soil are pressed down so much that it caused them to create these gem like crystals."
"Interesting," murmured Hiccup as he found another one but it was green instead. He looked over at Anna, "Hold on. We need something to carry these gems."
Anna titled her head but after an hour later, she was grateful what Hiccup did.
Hiccup was able to make a few baskets out of the remains of the fallen dragon while the rest could be useful by making stronger weapons and armor.
'Brilliant idea, Hiccup,' thought Anna while she was riding on her partner. She looked back to see Hiccup not too far from her and was carrying one basket while one was strapped around Toothless' right.
A few Terrible Terrors, Gronkles, and one or two Deadly Nadders were flying with them.
Anna smiled knowing her kingdom is in good hands. With Hiccup's help, her kingdom will evolve to a new era with humans and dragons working together.
It took about two days for the two teens to reach their destination, Scotland.
"Welcome Hiccup to your new life and new beginning," stated Anna, happily. "It's quite a big village but you'll get used to it after living here for quite some time."
Hiccup smiled, 'A second chance. No turning back now.'
Anna guided Hiccup to the large white castle where they landed at an opening by a nearby stable. The two teens dismounted themselves before Anna looked over at her partner.
"Go on girl, show Toothless around the area while I go and talk with my parents."
Jade nodded before signaling Toothless to follow her.
Toothless gave a small whimper before rubbing his head onto Hiccup's cheek.
Hiccup smiled, "I'm going to be fine bud. Go, it's not every day that you get to hang out with another Night Fury."
Toothless cooed a bit before running over to Jade and followed her into the forest.
"Don't worry. The people around here will not harm them since my Father made a rule that no dragons are to be harmed or shot down," explained Anna.
Hiccup sighs in relief before looking back to where Toothless disappeared to. Before he could say anything else, Anna grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the castle.
Anna ran through a couple of hallways before reaching to a double door. She turned to Hiccup, "My parents know of my little trip because I told them beforehand when I left. They should be here in the Entertainment room in case I came back."
"Um…is there a formal way to greet your parents?" wondered Hiccup, nervously.
Anna laughed, "You don't have to be so worried. Just greet them like normal people, alright?"
Hiccup simply nodded but just as he was about to ask another question, Anna open the doors and pulled Hiccup inside.
"Mother, Father. I have returned with great and wonderful news."
Hiccup widens his eyes to see two people walking over to them. He could easily tell where Anna got her looks from.
Queen Marianne looked like a goddess. She had long light brown hair that goes down at her waist and bright forest-green eyes. She is wearing a long simple green dress with light gray trimming around her neckline and arms, a golden rope around her waist and a few trinkets around her hands, neck and ears.
King Charles was quite tall and looked strong. He had reddish-brown hair, smaller bread unlike his own father and light green eyes. He is wearing a red cape with a blue clasp on the left side, a brown tunic with a black belt around his waist, to his left there was a sword, black pants and brown shoes.
Both looked at Anna with loving care.
"Oh Anna dear, you're back. What – Anna!" said Marianne before seeing how her daughter. "What in Merlin's name happened to you? Why are you so filthy and bruised up like that?"
"I'm fine Mother – we're both fine," replied Anna, happily. "I mean sure we fought a massive dragon and end up having a few burns here and there but nothing serious."
"WHAT?!" shouted Charles in disbelief. "You fought a dragon?!"
"Yes," said Anna as she rolled her eyes. "If we didn't defeat that Queen dragon then the other dragons would suffer. It was because of her there were those Dragon raids because she ordered them to do so if not, they will get eaten instead."
The queen gasped in horror while the king had a grim look on his face. That's when they noticed a young teenager boy with dark auburn messy hair and green eyes. He is wearing a long green cotton shirt, a fur brown vest, dark cotton pants and dark brown boots.
Also they noticed that their daughter was saying 'we' during her tale.
"Who is this boy, Anna?" asked Charles, seriously.
Hiccup tensed up a bit while Anna pouts and placed her hands on her hips.
"Father calm down and let us explain!"
Charles sighs, "Very well."
"Good now, introduction first," said Anna, happily. She placed her hand onto Hiccup's shoulder, "This is Hiccup Haddock…"
It took about an hour for Anna and Hiccup to tell Anna's parents on how the two of them meet, Hiccup running away from Berk, and the battle of the queen dragon.
Marianne had her hand over her mouth in shock while Charles blinked his eyes before grinning happily and picked up both of the teens.
"Now that is what I call teamwork! Good work – both of you!"
"Can't…breathe…sir," gasped Hiccup.
"F-Father…let go," gasped Anna.
"Oh right," said Charles as he set the teens down. He still had the grin on his face, "We should celebrate! Not only did the two of you end the Dragon raids but now the dragons can roam freely without fear of being used."
"That's a fantastic idea, dear," said Marianne. "Anna why don't you show Hiccup around the castle…and maybe go change your clothes."
Anna laughed sheepishly before nodding her head.
"Aright Mother but what about Hiccup?"
"I'll have a maid set a pair of clothes for your friend," replied Marianne, softly.
Anna smiled before grabbing hold onto Hiccup's arm again.
"Come on Hiccup, I want to show you a few of my favorite rooms inside the castle before showing you the gardens."
Marianna laughed upon seeing her daughter's actions upon the ex-Viking. When they left the room, she let out a heavy sigh, "Poor boy. How can those Vikings treat him like that? Even his own Father…doesn't he know that the child could make a great leader."
"What's done is done, my dear," said Charles before rubbing his chin. "Young Hiccup can have a second chance, away from those barbarians Vikings."
Marianne nodded.
"But what puzzles me is that how can the lad have so much intelligence?" wondered Charles.
"Who knows," murmured Marianne before seeing her husband going to the door. "And where are you going?"
"Oh just going to visit a dear friend of ours, be right back," replied Charles before leaving the room.
Marianne thought for a moment before forming a smiling as she knows what her husband was about to do. She got up and left the room to inform the maid to start dinner.
-Break Line-
So what you guys think? I hope my grammar is a bit better in this remake.
