How You Doing Insane Gang!
Last part of the Star-Riders and then we can get on with some well deserved races.
Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD.
The first part of the Star-Riders was held in Berk's track now they were heading into the city of Beserk. The city was bigger and more modernized than Berk by a long shot. There was flashing lights with semi tall buildings and cars whizzing past.
The race was actually a really long relay, usually this would be the only time this was done but with the change of this years new team racing the riders were more comfortable with it. Instead of the usual 6 members there are 12. The two captains already mapped out the course ahead of time throughout the city.
They would start at the outskirts of the city closest to Berk and they would make there was through the heart of the city to the other outskirt. 6 members were at the outskirt near Berk the other 6 were on the other side.
"Remember, you are all here because you are the stars of your league, we only expect the best which is why this is a dangerous course." Greg started.
"Not only is this held at night but you have to dodge not only each other but cars as well." Pete finished.
Hiccup was picked to go on the opposite side with Dagur as Astrid was with Snotlout and Gustav near Berk.
"Ah, look at us brother just you and me again isn't it lovely?"
Hiccup tried to ignore him for the better part, he would just be glad when it was hist turn to race. Both Hiccup and Dagur were at the end of the line, Dagur before Hiccup.
A loud horn sounded coming from the other side of the city. It was the starting signal, in a couple of minutes the first two racers will be in view.
The first two came into view but Pete's team got there first. Hiccup wasn't worried after all its not like this race mattered any how.
It was boring, waiting for members, he had the urge to punch Dagur a couple of times. Gustav already went so he was also talking adamantly in his other ear. He also lost track on who was winning.
Soon Snotlout came to relieve the pipe to Dagur.
Hiccup breathed out a sigh in relief.
"Thank you."
"Welcome, I figured he was getting on your nerves."
"Who is Dagur going to hand the pipe off too?" Hiccup asked him.
Snotlout glanced down at his shoes.
"What?"
He had a grimace on his face.
"He has to hand it off to Astrid."
Hiccup scowled.
"He better not try anything."
Snotlout crossed his arms.
"I doubt he will, he cares too much about winning."
Over on the other side of the city Dagur made it and saw that Astrid was next. He really wasn't in a hurry since he completely blown the other guy away. As far as he was concerned he was still in the heart of the city.
Dagur slowed down dramatically.
He held out the pipe in the flat palm of his hand and lowered his head.
"For you my dear Astrid." He sneered with his usual maddening grin.
Most would have sighed greatly others might have been creeped out but Astrid was used to it. She just rolled her eyes while pushed down her visor and snatched the pipe out of his waiting hand.
She revved once and made her way through the city. She was surprised that it really didn't take her that long. Astrid was in the zone dodging cars left and right and she kept on switching lanes.
The only thing that was annoying was the constant honking of cars and the occasional yelling and cursing.
She too of course beat her man here. Her eyes widen as she saw who she was giving the pipe too.
Hiccup was leaning forward on his bike with his forearms leaning on his handle bars. His helmet was balanced on top of his head ready to be pushed down. He was talking to Snotlout who was leaning against his bike.
Hiccup spotted her and smiled.
"Its about time you got here." He grinned cheekily.
"Very funny, I might as well not give this too you then." Her eyes sparkled with mischief.
"Thats fine, your man hasn't made it yet and we all know that no matter what I am faster than anybody."
Astrid took off her helmet.
"Alright, if you aren't in a hurry."
She tossed the pipe causally in her hand catching it every time.
Her man came into view.
"You want it now?" Astrid raised an eyebrow.
"Not yet."
Hiccup kick started his bike and revved a few times.
The other guy slowed down ready to hand off the pipe.
Hiccup pulled down his helmet and buckled the strap underneath as he pulled the visor down.
He held out his hand ready to receive the pipe.
"Wait for it...wait for it..."
As soon as the other guy handed off the pipe Hiccup shouted now. Reacting instantly Astrid dropped the pipe into his waiting hand. Hiccup didn't even have a full grasp of it before shooting off.
Hiccup weaved in and out of traffic. If he wasn't racing he would have liked to take a leisurely drive through here and admire the buildings and lights. It was a little strange as this city didn't reflect the people from here.
He cursed under his breath as he almost went face first into a car. He swerved around it berating himself for getting lost in thought so easily.
His man was a little bit in front of him. If he wouldn't have day dreamed he would have been in front by now.
Hiccup sped up to become neck and neck with this guy. He chanced a glimpse over at him and realized it was Thuggory. Thuggory gritted his teeth when he was almost out of his seat as if he was willing his bike to go faster.
Hiccup sped directly in front of him that Thuggory had to slow down to avoid crashing into his rear bumper.
The outskirts were in site as the crowd there cheered. Hiccup gained more speed increasing the space between them.
Hiccup clearly won as his helmet was already off by the time Thuggory crossed the line.
The horn was sounded again to signal the end of the race.
The 12 on the other side came roaring over in a minutes.
"I see you managed to win." Astrid teased.
Hiccup feigned hurt.
"You questioned my skill."
"You were versing Thuggory."
Hiccup rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah if I would have known it was him than I wouldn't have stalled."
Astrid punched his shoulder.
"I could have told you that."
"Okay you were right and now I'm going to treat you to a well deserved date."
"Its about time." Astrid smiled.
Please give suggestions on what Hiccup and Astrid should do on this date.
