Switching Sides
So here's chapter 2! I hope to get Chapter 3 up soon. This chapter doesn't have a lot of action but It's a huge part to the story. You have to read this to understand the plot. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: New Beginnings
*Hiccup POV*
*Man my head hurts.* I thought to myself as I awoke to a strange room. I saw a man walk in. He had dark hair and a black beard with a scar on his neck.
"Good Morning Hiccup." The man said. Who was this 'Hiccup'?
"Who's Hiccup?" I asked. The man gave me a confused look that turned into a grin. What's going on?
"Sorry. You must have hit your head harder than we thought. Your name is Hiccup. My name is Viggo. I am your friend. You were attacked by enemies of ours who call themselves 'Dragon Riders' led by a viking named Astrid and the most dangerous dragon out there named Toothless who is a Night Fury."
"Astrid? Toothless? Those names sound familiar." I heard him say those names. I couldn't tell where I heard them before.
"Hiccup. I must talk with by brother Ryker for a minute. I hope you'll excuse my absence." He was very formal and really polite.
"It's ok. Take your time." I said to Viggo.
*Normal POV*
Viggo took Ryker aside to talk with him privately.
"What is it Viggo?" Ryker asked.
"Hiccup has awoken." Viggo smiled back.
"Good. Then let me break every bone in his arms and legs for causing us so much trouble." Ryker responded.
"No. There will be no need for that. You see, Hiccup doesn't remember who he is. The hit he took to the head gave him amnesia. We would've preferred Astrid for her warrior skills but we now have a dragon mastermind on our side. There's only one problem I can see in our way." Viggo told his brother.
"And what's that?"
"When I mentioned Astrid's name to him trying to convince him she's our enemy, he remembered hearing that name before along with the name Toothless."
"So?"
"If he remembers who they are and what they mean to him he may turn on us."
"So how do we stop that from happening? I'm pretty sure Hiccup will remember Astrid. They're obviously more than friends because of the way they act together. Toothless is his best friend so I assume you have a plan?" Ryker asked.
"Indeed I do." Viggo began. "If we make Hiccup believe that Astrid was a spy who pretended to love him to earn his trust and attacked him giving him amnesia, he'll probably see her as an enemy if parts of his memory return of them together. We'll tell Hiccup that Toothless was always his friend and that he was brainwashed to join the riders and we have a way to treat his condition. That way we could have a Night Fury in our army. We know Toothless won't hurt Hiccup. Astrid will try and bring him back but Hiccup will see that as a chance to attack him again and won't trust her." Viggo smiled again.
"Let's just hope he still has that dragon knowledge in his brain." Ryker said back.
"I have no doubt in that. That is who he is. It will be second nature to him. He most likely won't hunt dragons with us so in the meantime we'll have to bring the dragons we capture to a secret lair. The loving side of him towards dragons will still be there so we just have to do our business behind his back and make him believe that we a relocating them to a better environment." Viggo had his plan all laid out.
*Hiccup POV*
I saw Viggo re-enter the room I had to ask about those names. "So who's Astrid?" He looked a little stressed as I asked him that.
"Astrid is the leader of the dragon riders. She was a spy that we didn't know about and she tried to earn our trust by pretending to love you to get in close enough to stop us from relocating dragons to far better environments. I have to say she acted so well that she had us all fooled. You fell for her and she managed to destroy many of our ships and bases and by the time we found out which was a few days ago, she took you before we could warn you and she rolled a boulder at you which knocked you out and that is why you can't remember mostly anything."
"What a cruel thing to do." I responded. Wow. A girl pretended to love me and just tried to stab me in the back? (Metaphorically) "What about Toothless? Was he the same?"
"No. Toothless is your best friend. He and you could not be separated. Astrid managed to brainwash Toothless into believing that we are the enemy of dragons. Toothless left you to join the riders unwillingly but he never attacked you since. He may be brainwashed, but he still loves you with all his heart. We've been trying to win him back and now that you're awake again maybe we can save him and you two can be together again. And I'm not lying about how close you two are. You sleep in the same house together, you fly together, you do everything together."
At that moment I saw a little flashback of this black dragon. That must be Toothless.
Flashback
"Ok position three. No. Four!" I noticed I had two legs and not one. We flew under a huge ark. "Yes it worked!" I flew the dragon into a pillar. "Sorry!" I said
Toothless growled. We flew into another Pillar.
"That was my fault" Then he slapped my face with his ear. "Ya Ya I'm on it!"
I then saw myself fighting this colossal dragon who had six eyes falling from the sky with his mouth on fire. He crashed into the ground exploding and Toothless and I tried to avoid the blast by dodging he beast's tail. The back of Toothless' tail fell off and we hit a club at the end of the tail. I saw myself falling towards the fire only to see Toothless scream and tried to fly after me grabbing me and tucking me into his body before everything went dark.
Flashback Ends
"Woah" I said.
"What's wrong?" Viggo asked.
"I just had a memory!" I exclaimed happily
"Of..." He was nervous of what I just said.
"Toothless and how we had fun together and how he saved my life from certain death. He truly is my best friend!"
"I wouldn't lie to you know wouldn't I?" Viggo asked me playfully.
"No, I don't think you would."
Boom. Hiccup thinks Viggo is his friend and Astrid is his enemy. I just couldn't have Hiccup mad at Toothless. That is crossing the line. But hey I still have Hiccup who fell for Astrid. He just thinks she's the enemy who he loved at one point. Don't worry. There won't be a depressing ending to this story. Promise :3
