by DeadeyeXL

Hiccup and his brother, Connor, explore how far Stoic will go in order to keep his sons safe. he thinks they'll forgive, but they might not. OC Connor is me, Toothcup later in the story but that's about how far it'll go, probably. This is based off of Snowflower Frost's 'The Real Hero', go read it to see what might happen and what will happen.

5. FIGHT

Hey guys and gals, welcome to chapter 3 of Lies and Deception, I still can't believe that I'm still doing this, maybe that's because of all the people following and favoring this story and me, I re-read what I wrote in the last chapter and tears threatened to come out, it was that cute but I can't take all the credit, diedoktor helped me with that and everyone who was read the story helped me, I will have Connor's POV in the forge and in the ring, also I can get violent easily so there might be some mini fights before and after the fight in the ring. Let's get this ship sailing before Odin's Wrath hits.

Lies and Deception

Chapter 3:

Forge-Connor's POV- 5 Hours after Chapter 2

'I need to make the handle a big bigger' I thought as I held my weapon in my hand.

"Definitely needs a bigger handle." I said as I placed my Bowrd on the table and looked under the table for a bigger handle mold. I picked up the mold and extracted the example handle.

"Perfect, now I need to find those scales" I said as I examined the handle and gave it a few practice swings to test out the speed and weight. I placed the mold on the rack and searched the back room where Hiccup and I have all our forge machines. I open the cupboard to find the bucket of scales I had in case of emergency repairs for Toothless tail fin. I took the scales and placed them into the fire which had a special design to it. When the scales are melted enough to go through a grate, it pours the liquid scales into the selected mold that has been placed into the mold holder, allowing free movement to do other things while the scales melt.

"Now I can get started on the engraving" I stated to myself as I picked up the engraver and started doing my design. A few hours later with a completely engraved Bowrd I heard the ding of the scales being fully melted and poured into the mold to be cooled. I walked over to the contraption and placed a finger on the handle, it's a tad hot but it is cooled enough to be placed in water but hot enough to be engraved, see most weapon engravers engraved the weapon after it was cooled so it takes longer and requires more patience to be able to engrave, not a trait Vikings have. I picked up the tongs and grabbed the handle and placed it in the engravement roller (I will explains these at the end) to begin engraving. It was a relatively small handle so it didn't take long to finish the engraving. As I was packing up I heard a knock at the door, my heart starts racing on who it could be, I placed a towel I had on the sword and yelled out…

"Who is it, the forge is closed so I can't do repairs?" I asked as I cautiously walked to the door. There was another knock, more like someone trying to break in this time.

"For Odin's beard, WHO IS IT?"
"It's me Connor, I challenge you to a fight"
'What are you doing Snotloud?' I thought as I opened the door.

"Challenge me to what Snotloud, your already better than me at everything except for blacksmithing?" I asked as I leaned on the doorframe, I look behind Snotloud to see Ruffnut and Tuffnut 'sneakily' try to come behind the forge.

"I challenge you to the right of being heir of Berk" Snotloud stated as he puffed his chest and straightened his back.

"What if I say no?"
"I will force you to say yes"
"What are you going to do, I already know that Ruff and Tuff are behind the forge so you 'could' get the upper hand on me but I saw them." I said, going a bit red in the face with anger, why should I be angry, he challenged me and I needed to challenge him, it all works out.

"Then I will have to do it myself" He said before throwing a right hook at my face, I effortlessly move to the right and bring my knee to his stomach, effectively winding him, then I throw an uppercut to his jaw and a powerful kick as he's going up a few feet in the air.

"Really, I will accept your challenge, ONLY ON MY CONDITIONS, seeing how you threatened me to fight you, it seems fair."

"Fine, but I will win and get Astrid's heart, even it means lying to the village." He said, whispering the last part hoping that I don't hear it but I do.

"NOW GO BEFORE I MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPEN RIGHT NOW." I yelled as I slammed the door closed, as I turned around I see Tuffnut attempting to leave the forge through the back window.

'Oh how I've waited to do this for a while.' I thought as I tip-toed behind him. I pulled my right leg up and sent a full force kick to Tuffnut's arse and he went flying out of the forge. He landed on his face with a path in the dirt smaller but similar to that of Toothless when we shot him down. I close the window and lock it just to be safe and return to table where I was making the Bowrd, only to find the cloth removed and the Bowrd gone.

'SHIT, THOSE BASTARDS TOOK IT, OH HOW THEY WILL PAY FOT THIS' I mentally yelled as I cleaned up the table and ran outside, locking the forge door behind me, I ran up to the house and climbed the wall to our room and entered.

"CONNOR, gods don't do that, you almost gave me a heart attack" Hiccup stated, almost passing out because I came through the window.

"What's the matter Connor?" Asked Toothless as he got up from his rock slab and walked to my feet, purring as he rubbed his head on my stomach.

"THEY TOOK IT!"

"Took what?"

"MY BOW SWORD, THEY CAME IN FROM THE BACK OF THE FORGE AND TOOK IT!"
"Calm down Connor, who took your bow sword?"
"Ruffnut and Tuffnut, I was too busy fighting Snotloud because he came to the forge and challenged me for the right of being the heir of Berk, while that was happening Ruff an Tuff came from behind and took it, I saw them but I thought I locked the window." I said as I sat down on the ground and Toothless put his head on my lap.

"I could always track it using my smell, remember that you used my scales, I can smell it already." Said Toothless as he got up and jumped onto the perch outside where we land when we fly home.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
"Because I am superior that you."
"Oh really? Pick up that chair without using your mouth or claws."
"Ok, maybe not that superior but I can fly."
"Doesn't matter, let's focus on the task at hand." I said as Hiccup and Toothless stopped bickering and looked at me.

"We need to go now if I have any chance of finishing it."
"WHAT, you haven't finished it yet?"
"No, I was putting the handle and Bowrd part together when it got taken."
"Let's go then, you need it in order of winning and not getting disowned." Said Hiccup as we all started to get on Toothless back but Stoic came through the door panting.

"Connor, Snotloud just challenged …."
"I know, he challenged me to a fight to see who would be the heir of Berk, I accepted because the threatened to make me fight him."
"Connor, I won't ask how you found out but you know in those conditions you don't have to and it wouldn't look cowardly?"
"I know but the village already looks at us like cowards so why not prove them wrong?" I said as we flew away so he didn't take things too far. We flew for about two minutes before we landed in the Eastern parts of the woods.

"I smell the Bowrd, and I smell humans there."
"Yeah, Ruff, Tuff and Snot" I whispered as I came to a log so I could hear what they are saying.

"Hey Snot, we got the weapon he was making, we don't think it's finished yet but it can still be used."
"Good, now he doesn't have a weapon so he has to forfeit the fight so I become heir of Berk and get Astrid, go and tell the chief that the fight will happen in two hours." Told Snotloud as the twins ran off towards the village, running right past me.

'How am I going to get it back in two hours without him knowing?' I thought as I followed him towards the village.

"What material is this made from? It's lighter than anything we have and it's black, I should force Connor to make me more weapons and armor, depending on how strong it is." Said Snotloud out loud, he actually used a correct sentence and it made sense. Ragnarök might happen if the twins behave themselves for a whole day. Onto more pressing matters, where is Snotloud going?

Snotloud's house-10 minutes later- Connor's POV

"Dad, look what Connor gave me for the fight today?" Asked Snotloud as he handed my weapon to Spiteloud.

"Wow, he actually made you this? It's lighter than any weapon that was ever made so it should break easily."
'This is my chance, go to the front of the house and ask where Snotloud is.' I thought as I walked over to the door looking puffed out and tired. I knocked on the door and waited for it to be answered. The door opened and Spiteloud answered it.

"Connor? What are you doing here?" He asked as he looked at me suspiciously.

"I'm looking for Snotloud, have you seen him?"

"Yeah, he gave me this black bow staff and said you made it for him for the fight today, why?" He asked, showing me the weapon
"He stole it from me while I was working on it at the forge?"
"So, you're saying that this weapon was made for you, by you and my son said that you made it for him? Is this true or are you lying again?" Spiteloud said in a sarcastic way.

"Ok, let's make this clear, why would ANY blacksmith give a Viking an incomplete weapon, knowing that the blacksmith and the Viking are going into a fight? I wouldn't make a weapon for Snotloud even if my life depended on it, no offence." I said as I took my Bowrd from Spiteloud.

"You make a good point but do tell me how he took it from you."
" I was making it so I had a defensive capability when I'm alone and as I was working when I got a knock at the door, I covered it with a cloth and opened the door and Snotloud was there, he challenged me to a fight to see who was worthy of being the heir of Berk and I was going to decline, seeing how I had other pressing matters that needed attending to but he threatened me if I didn't, he threw a punch at me but I beat him and told him I accepted his challenge on my conditions, he said yes and left towards the forest, I closed the door and turned around to see Tuffnut trying to get through the window to escape with my weapon, I didn't know that he had it until I saw it was gone, I tried to look for them for a while but ended up coming here because I saw Ruff and Tuff coming to my house without my weapon, so I thought they might of given him my weapon so he has a better chance of winning." I finally finished as I took in a huge breath of air and relaxed my breathing.

"I see, so you accused my son of stealing a weapon and was correct?"
"Technically I accused him of being an accomplice to stealing a weapon and I was correct."
"Ok, in that case we will hold the fight tomorrow s you both have time to train and relax." Said Spiteloud as he looked please with his idea.
"Oh ok, I can do that. See ya tomorrow." I said as turned around and left to go back to the forge to finish the Bowrd.

Haddock House-Next day- Connor's POV

"Connor, wake up." I heard as I closely and painfully lifted my eyes open. Why did they hurt? Oh right, I hit my face with the door as I left the forge.

"What did I do now Toothless?"
"Today's the day you beat Snotloud remember?"
"Yes, but I'm tired, let me sleep." I said as I rolled over onto my side and closed my eyes. I was about to fall back to sleep when Toothless rolled me over and placed his head on my stomach.
"No, you have to get up now"
"Later bud."
"Ok, you leave me no choice." Said Toothless as he started repeatedly licking my face.

"TOOTHLESS STOP, I'M UP OK." I yelled as I sat up and wiped the dragon slobber off my face. I flicked some slobber onto Toothless and proceeded to get out of my bed and change into my fighting clothing, which contained a thin sheet of Gronkle iron covered in fire proof leather with black scales on the outside so I could blend in with Toothless or the shadows. As I changed into my attire I noticed that Toothless was pawing his head to get the slobber off of him.

"Hold still." I said as I wiped off the slobber and flicked it onto the floor. Toothless smiled at my and purred at me while he placed is snout into my stomach.

"Thanks, let's get going before you're late."
"Ok, where's Hiccup by the way?"
"He's already at the academy making sure that the fights fair."
"Oh ok." I said as I hopped on Toothless.

"Oh, I almost forgot." I said as I jumped off Toothless and grabbed my cloak that I made out of Toothless' scales. I jumped back onto Toothless' back and we flew to the training ring.

Training Ring-Connor's POV

As Toothless and I landed at the arena Hiccup ran towards us.

"Connor, you actually made it, are you wearing your armor?"

"Yes, I'm wearing the cloak so Snotloud doesn't see it until I take it off right before we fight."
"Nice, do you have your weapon?"
"Yes, I have my armor and my weapon so I'm ready to win." I said as I walked towards the gate, getting glairs and boo's as I stood in front of the gate.
"Why are they booing?" I asked as I secured my Bowrd in my hand.

"Snotloud said that you were going to cheat so they kinda said Snotloud can chose how you fight."
"Ok, I can still win."
"No you can't, your just a useless, you can't even ride a dragon properly." Said a new voice, knowing full well who owned it.

"And you know this information, how?" I said as I turned around to see Astrid just about to punch Hiccup's face but I quickly caught it without even realizing I even did it. I released her hand and turned around to enter the ring, but before I got in I told Astrid.
"You hit him again and what happens to Snotloud will happen to you, got it?" I told with venom in my voice, hearing her scoff at the threat.

"People of Berk, we have a special challenge today, Snotloud has challenge my first son, Connor, to a fight in determining who is worthy of being the heir of Berk, because of the new information that has been given to us, Snotloud will be selecting the fighting style." Boomed dad, at least he called me his son still.

"I chose custom weapons." Said Snotloud as he pulled out his hammer, a white stone on a stick bound by rope, typical Viking weapon.

"Let's get this party started then." I said taking off my cloak to reveal my armor and whipping out my Bowrd.

"WOW, a black weapon, its light so it won't even stand against one hit."
"Well, if it doesn't work I still have my armor and my hands." I said with sarcasm in my voice.

"Are you ready?"
"Yes." Said Snotloud and I at the same time.

"FIGHT!" Yelled Stoic. Snotloud instantly ran at me with his hammer above his head, rooky mistake. I switched my staff to my sword and side stepped and sliced through the rock. He looked at me as if I just shot fire out of my mouth. I did 360 spin and kicked him in his back, making him tumble over, I got into a defensive stance with my Bowrd in staff mode. He ran at me and did a flurry or kicks and punches with each one missing its target.

"What's the matter Snotloud? Can't hit a useless?" I said sarcastically while laughing as he kept missing me. This comment definitely got his blood boiling as he pulled out a concealed knife and tried to stab me, key word 'tried'.

"Oh so where using concealed weaponry, isn't that cheating?" I yelled, loud enough to make sure Stoic heard it.

"Just stand still useless and let me win this."
"Never, I have had enough of you harassing and hurting me, now it's time to show you what I can really do." I said clenching my teeth and giving him a stare that could send chills down anyone's spine. I ducked under his punch and kick his stomach which made him fall over long enough for me to get ready for delivering the pain. I ran towards him as he got up and smashed his head with my Bowrd, making him turn around in a daze, I jumped towards him and kicked his kneecap with my right foot, earning a blood-curdling scream from Snotloud, everyone there covered their ears except for me, you get used to it after you scream like that for 15 years.

"YOU BASTRD, I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!"
"Not so fast, I'm not finished yet." I joked as I did a 360 spin while bringing my right leg up in the process, as I finished the spin I brought my foot to the bac of his head, smashing his skull into the stone floor, sending blood all over the place, I flip his body over to see that he isn't dead, just unconscious with a broken nose and blood pouring like a waterfall out of it. Everyone including Hiccup gasped and covered their mouths in horror.

"What? I beat him and gave him a taste of his own medicine and that's for being a bastard to me for years, I've still got Astrid to challenge yet. Don't ask why, it's because she needs to know that in life there will ALWAYS be someone better that you in what your good in and I'm going to be the one who defeats her." I say as I wiped the blood of my shoes and walked calmly out of the ring.

OH MY GODS, I AM A TOTAL BADASS. I'm sorry for not uploading on Monday, I have had a lot of homework and it took up the time to do this, I still managed to complete this though, I am changing my schedule, I will upload when I can, I have this Thursday to get a lot done for Chapter4 because our school has a swimming carnival and I'm not attending. I will have Berk hold a meeting to discuss my 'violent' actions in the ring. I will have the second fight in 3rd POV because reasons. I will still have Toothcup in it just not as much as one would want, for the fight I listened to Children of Bodom's 'Children of Bodom' and Skrillex's 'Bangarang' and 'Imma try it out', just in case some of you were wondering. Anyway see ya later and I hope this will satisfy you for a while.
