Hey guy's this chapter's kind of choppy, lately the stories been fighting me. I'm working out the plot line and I think I've got it! Now that I know where I'm heading I can probably update more often. Constructive criticism and reviews are always welcome! Enjoy!


"Hiccup." "Dad. Uh..." Hiccup father stood up, and took a deep sighed, "I, uh... I have to talk to you, Dad." His father replied, "I need to speak with you too, son." They both straightened and blurted out at the same moment. "I've decided I don't want to. I think it's time you learn. fight dragons. to fight dragons." They stared at each other then again at the same time they said in unison, "What?" Stoick nodded, "You go first." Hiccup shook his head, "No, you go first."

His father sighed, "Alright. You get your wish. Dragon training. You start in two days." Hiccup stared at him in shock, "Oh man, I should've gone first. Uh, 'cause I was thinking, you know we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough bread-making Vikings, or small home repair Vikings?" drat of course his father would decide to let him train to kill dragons the second he decided he didn't want to,Thor must hate him. Stoick completely ignored his son, handed Hiccup an axe and said, "You'll need this." Hiccup tried his best to avoid the weapon but still somehow ended up with it in his arms.

The boy tried again, "I don't want to fight dragons." The father laughed, "Come on. Yes, you do." "Rephrase. Dad I can't kill dragons," Hiccup said desperately. "But you will kill dragons." Stoick insisted. "No, I'm really very extra sure that I won't." "It's time Hiccup." Hiccup's father said still appearing to not have heard a word. "

Can you not hear me?" Hiccup said as he shook his head. Stoick was now slightly annoyed, "This is serious son!" He forced the axe into Hiccup's hands. and it's weight dragged him down him down a little. He looked up to see his father under-lit with firelight. Stoick continued to speak, "When you carry this axe... you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us. You talk like us. You think like us. No more of..." He gestured non specifaically at Hiccup, "this..." Hiccup sighed, rather annoyed, "You just gestured to all of me."

Stoick who was of course not listening asked, "Deal?" "This conversation is feeling very one-sided," Hiccup pointed out, not even hoping that his father would listen to him. "DEAL?!" Stoick asked loudly. Hiccup glanced at the axe in his hands. It was a no-win argument. Defeated he winced and muttered, "Deal."

Satisfied, his father grabbed his helmet and duffel bag... and headed for the door. "Good. We're going to take a shot at the nest, train hard. I'll be back. Probably." "And I'll be here." Hiccup paused. "Maybe." Stoick headed out the door, leaving Hiccup holding the axe. He waited a few beats, then slowly pushed the door open and slipped outside.


Hiccup peeked into the the forge, and sighed, empty. Then he made a mad dash for the backroom, walked inside and sat down, he needed to think. He pulled out his notebook and was thumbing through the pages when he landed on a sketch he had made of Toothless. Hiccup stared at the empty space where a tail fin should have been and suddenly he knew how he was going to rescue Fishlegs and Astrid. Toothless needed a new tail fin, quickly pulling out a charcoal pencil he sketched in a tail fin, designs already shaping in his mind.


After thousand upon thousand blue prints, he was finally ready to build the tail fin. He was going to fix Toothless's tail, and get his sort of friends back, maybe then they would be his real friends. Finally as the sun rose he held the finished contraption in his arms, now to test it...


Hiccup walked in to the cove out of breath, carrying a basket filled to the brim with raw fish on his back, the tail fin tucked under one of his arms. "Hey Toothless," he called, then dropped the basket on the ground "I brought breakfast. I hope you're hungry," his voice strained from the weight of his load, he tipped the basket over with his foot and slimy fish spilled out.

"Okay, that's disgusting," Hiccup commented, Toothless ignored his little comment and approached the feast. The boy continued to speak and the dragon smiled and rolled his eyes, did this boy ever shut up? "Uh..we've got some salmon...," Toothless poked his nose into the pile. "... some nice Icelandic cod... and a whole smoked eel."

The nightfury backed away and growled, he hated eels, every dragon hated eels, well most of them anyway. Hiccup leaned down, reached into the pile and picked up the offending animal and lifted it up. Toothless began to snarl and he quickly exclaimed, "No, no, no! It's okay." then flung the eel into the lake, he'd gotten rid of quite a few thing in that specific body of water lately, what was next himself? He smiled weakly, "Sorry bud, I don't like eel much either." "It's fine," Toothless replied grumpily, now that had been a rude awakening, he grunted and began to eat the remaining fish.


Meanwhile Hiccup was slowly moving toward Toothless's tail, "Okay. That's it. That's it, just stick with good stuff. And don't you mind me. I'll just be back...here. Minding my own business." When he reached the injured tail he crouched down and placed the leather and metal contraption down where the left fin should have been. Toothless's tail shifted to the right and Hiccup moved the prosthetic to the right. He got ready to strap the fin on, when Toothless moved his tail, again.

Hiccup sighed and moved the contraption once more but this time the tail lifted into the air. "It's okay." Seeing no other choice, he griped the tail with both of his hands and it started to move back in forth. Hiccup helds on and removed one hands to reach for the leather fin laying on the ground nearby. He found the prosthetic and grabbed it, only to lose his grip and be tugged forward by Toothless as he tried to get the last of the fish in the basket. Then the dragon finally remaining still. Hiccup seized the chance, sat down on Toothless's tail, and finally began to buckle on the fin.


Toothless froze and narrowed his eyes what was that on his tail? He flapped his tail fin, and were there had been emptiness for four days there was now something... His wings dropped to the ground in astonishment, then ever so slowly, he began to lift his wings preparing for flight.


"There." Hiccup spread the tail fin and he smiled and sat back to admire his handiwork, "Not too bad. It works." Then suddenly out of the blue, he was lifted off the ground, and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock began to scream with all his might. As they approached the edge of the cove, Toothless began to lose his height. Hiccup quickly yanked open the fin and they barely missed the forest floor.


He was overjoyed he could fly, he could fly again. Never had he ever thought that he would ever take to the skies once more. Then as he was just about to leave the cove, he started to fall. Then, right before hitting the ground, something changed and he swooped back up, quickly gain height and speed. However when reached the clouds mysteriously, he was dragged back toward the cove by something.

Back in the cove he was glided over the pond when someone exclaimed, "Yes! Yes, I did it." Toothless turned around and finally spotted the boy hanging on to his tail, so that was why he was pulled back to the cove. Annoyed the dragon flung the human off, he looked back and saw that his left tail fin was folded shut and refused to open, and then they both crash landed in the lake.


If you haven't noticed, I've change a few things and added others. In my story the training doesn't begin till two days later so note that. And yes I have greatly messed with the original plot line so it's slightly wonky. The next update should be up with in a week if you want real time updates you can follow my tumblr, .com
