How You Doing Insane Gang!
I have been thinking of doing a new one-shot for the collection but need some feedback to see if you Insaners will even like it. My idea was focusing on the Viking holiday Uppsala which is a huge celebration to the gods but it also involves a lot of sacrificing so let me know in the comments below if i should do it.
Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD.
The Star-Riders were held over the weekend, the first day was skills competition. Some of the skill games include fasts bike, longest wheelie, best dodger, best trick, and tightest curver.
The two teams met on different plateaus. Toothless, the twins and Fishlegs came in support and were sitting on a crowded ledge.
"First event is the fastest bike, this one should be an easy win for us, the lineup will be Derek, Gustav, Astrid, and Hunter." Greg told them.
"Longest wheelie is Scott, Derek, Gustav and Josh."
"Best dodger is Astrid, Hunter, Tyler, and Gustav."
"Best trick is Scott, Derek, Lilly, and Fred."
"Highest curver is Hunter, Astrid, Derek and Madison." Greg finished explaining all of the lineups for the day.
Greg led the rest of the team to a plateau from them to sit on that was fairly close to the track. Pete's team was already waiting on his. The four he chose was some people named Justin, Max, Shelby and Nico. Hiccup personally never knew or met them but he has seen some of them on the track before.
The announce speakers came on, "First up for the fastest bike is Derek "Dagur" Skrill for the the Bulldogs and Justin Smith for the Rough n' Tumbles."
Each team member would go head to head and the winner will be awarded a point for his or her respected team.
The Star-Riders weren't supposed to be taken seriously it was really all just for fun and for the best of the leagues to get to know each other better.
Dagur and Justin lined up at the start of the track. A girl that looked a lot like Heather was about to wave them off.
The crowd joined in by counting down from 3. Both members sped off leaving a trail of dust in their wake.
It was really a no brainer on who won most people were favoring the Bulldogs anyway as they scouted the teams. Greg more of the veterans as Pete picked more of the up and coming racers.
Dagur won by a land slide. Justin was just crossing the last turn when Dagur finished. A point was awarded to the Bulldogs. Dagur had his usual cocky grin on his face as he waved to the crowd once before making it over to the team plateau.
Gustav was next against Max. Gustav looked nervous since this was his first time ever competing in the All-Riders.
Hiccup grabbed his shoulder.
"Gustav relax, remember this is just for fun so it doesn't matter if you win or lose but I'm sure you will do great." Hiccup tried to cheer him up.
Gustav gave him a small smile as he strapped on his helmet and made his way over to the track.
The same procedure followed only that Gustav won by a very small margin. It was an almost photo finish replay but Gustav's whole front tire made it over the line before Max even touched it with his.
Astrid was next and Hiccup gave her a kiss on the cheek for good luck. She was up against Shelby who was in her division. Astrid won without a doubt as she was a whole bike in front of her.
"I swear the All-Riders just get easier and easier every year." Astrid teased.
"If they are so easy I expect you to win all of the events Greg put you in then." Hiccup replied back smartly.
"What if I win?" Astrid asked him as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I will take you to that really expensive restaurant and we can do anything you want afterward."
"And if you win?"
Hiccup gave her an easy smile and a shrug. "Same deal really I just want an excuse to take you out on a well deserved date."
He winked at her as his eyes became shielded by his helmet that he slide on.
Nico looked really nervous as he came up to the starting line. Hiccup saw him wiping the hands on his jeans multiple times. He snorted though seeing how everyone was so afraid of his speed.
Fans in the crowd were taking bets to see how much Hiccup would beat the kid.
Hiccup revved his engine loudly starling Nico out of his fear induced stupor.
As the crowd counted down Hiccup's tired squealed off. He himself wanted to test how fast his bike could go without going into the Red Zone.
Hiccup came screeching to a halt at the cruddy painted finish line before Nico was even half way around the track!
The crowd roared loudly in disbelief and amazement.
The Bulldogs were awarded an extra point since out of all the racers his time was the best.
Currently the Bulldogs had 5 points and Rough n' Tumbles have a big fat 0.
The longest wheelie event was up next which neither Hiccup nor Astrid was placed in.
They were both glad as in their bikes were too top heavy to be pulling stunts like that. Both though were perfectly fine just enjoying the events.
"I can't believe this is going to be the last time we compete in the Star-Riders." Astrid started.
Hiccup shrugged indifferently. "I don't think it would matter to me, I'm perfectly fine just sitting here with you and watching."
Snotlout won against a guy named Brain by a good half a foot. His bike was perfect for this as the frame was light enough to hold on one wheel for a period of time.
Dagur barley one against his opponent. Gustav and Josh both lost to their's though. The longest wheelie of the day was Snotlout's so the Bulldogs were awarded an extra point.
The scores were Bulldogs:8 Rough n' Tumbles:2.
Astrid was up first for the best dodger. This was her event as she was the best dodger on the Riders. On the track was obstacles like chairs and cones and to the end was 3 bikers who will be coming at you head on.
Astrid passed hers with flying colors compared to Alex who she was versing. Hiccup actually lost his by a few seconds. He managed to clip a chair which slowed him down. Hiccup wasn't really about precision as he only cared for speed.
Gustav won but Tyler didn't. Astrid was the fastest and best dodger so she won a much needed extra point.
Bulldogs:11 Rough n' Tumbles:4.
Best trick was going to be tricky to say the least. Most racers don't focus on tricks on the bike since when sitting backwards riding doesn't help win a race.
Snotlout just popped a back wheelie and was able to do a donut while still in form but sadly he lost.
Dagur actually did a handstand on his handle bars while he was driving. Hiccup was never going to admit it but he thought it was pretty cool.
Lilly lost but Fred won by guess what you may ask? Riding backwards.
Rough n' Tumbles were awarded the extra point.
Bulldogs:13 Rough n' Tumbles:7.
The last event was the tightest curver which is riders are judged by how close to the wall they can get while on a bend in the track.
Hiccup was first but many were doubtful since he is all about speed then precision. They were surprised as he skidded his gloved hand on the ground as his bike titled dangerously to the side. He pulled it off for what is believed to be the tightest curve anyone have ever saw.
Astrid lost as her big tire was too far out. The other two Dagur and Madison lost as well but Hiccup was awarded the extra point.
The final score after the end of the skills competition was Bulldogs:15 Rough n' Tumbles:10.
Hiccup smirked at Astrid as she took off her helmet and shook out her hair.
"Looks like I won the bet."
She scowled at him.
"You barely won."
Hiccup wagged his finger playfully.
"It doesn't matter, it looks like I will be taking you out for diner after all."
Astrid reared back and gave his shoulder a good thwack with her fist.
Star-Riders will continue next chapter and if you want to see Hiccup and Astrid's date please send in suggestions on what they should do together.
