Hey guys, hope this is a good chapter for ya, actually I hope this is a good story because I like it. I hope more people read it, because reasons. Also I will explain some stuff that has happened in a different story, which will be based on the first movie. This story will eventually lead up to the Riders of Berk series which will lead to this one. Also in the next story I will be having a past sequence, which means I'll be starting before the movie but close enough so I can get to the actual stuff. I have many ideas on what I could do. Also, sorry if Ruff is acting OOC in this, this is my knowledge of how she can act when her brother isn't around.
Lies and Deception
Chapter 10: A New Start
Berk-Astrid's POV- Day Time
"No, sorry, haven't seen them since they went to Gothi." Replied Hugo.
"No problem, thank you though." I say, walking away from the shop. This morning the teens found that Hiccup and Connor had disappeared, we don't know where they went so we started asking people if they've seen them, so far no one has since last night. I asked Ruffnut and Fishlegs if they could help out and they both agreed.
'Where could they be?' I asked myself. I noticed Ruffnut yelling out my name so I perked my head up at her when she got to me. I asked Ruffnut and Fishlegs if they would ask people if they've seen Hiccup or Connor, preferably both.
"Did you find anything?" I asked. She shook her head to signal a no and sighed.
"No, I've asked like 20 twenty different people and they've said the same thing…"
"Haven't seen them since they went to Gothi." I butted in. As we were about to head to the Great Hall, Fishlegs comes full on sprinting to us.
"What did you find?" We both ask. He gets to us, panting heavily.
"I found out. That someone. Took Toothless from. Snotlout's." He puffed out in between breaths. I walked over to him, giving him my bottle of water; he took it and gulped it down in a matter of seconds. As he gave me my bottle back I realized something.
"I just realized something, what if Connor took him." I said worriedly, as I finish ed saying that Ruffnut shook her head.
"Not possible, Connor would still be unconscious right now, and he isn't in bed, so that only leaves one possibility." She mused, I started to think of what it was, but two possibilities come to my mind.
"Two you mean." I corrected. Ruffnut and Fishlegs both looked at me concerned.
"Hiccup could have kidnapped Connor or…" I couldn't finish my sentence, it was too scary to even think about, but Ruffnut figured it out and had the same reaction but still managed to say it.
"Hiccup and Connor were planning on leaving Berk." She said, trembling with her own words.
"Let's just go to the Hall and get something to eat, we'll go and find them afterwards." I suggested.
"What about the chief? He has every right to know that his two sons ran away because of his plan." She said . I stopped and looked her in the eye.
"No, we can't."
"Why not? He has the right to know."
"How do you think he'll react to knowing his sons ran away because of his plan to make them feel unwanted, unloved, not cared for because a guy who takes rare items is coming to Berk. Think about it, he'll be distraught, he probably won't eat or sleep until he sees his sons in his house, and that will leave Berk without a chief." I said, slightly angry because of how everything turned out. Ruffnut was going to say something but closed her mouth and thought about what I said.
"Your right, I'm sorry I didn't think." She apologized, my eyes widened at what she said.
"You know, you're a much better person when you're not around your brother. Your smarter, more serious, understanding. Why not when your brother is around?" I ask, she sighed and answers my question.
"It's because I don't want him to feel alone. If I was more like you he wouldn't have anyone to share his interests with, and I don't want Snotlout to be the person he depends on having fun with. We live by ourselves in our house, just me and him. He needs someone to be able to look up to and to have interests with…"
"Just like Connor and Hiccup."
"What do you mean?" She asked, unfazed that I interrupted her.
"Well, when we were younger and you kept hurting Hiccup, I asked Connor if we would like to join our group, since we was alone. He asked if Hiccup could join but I said no, that we has weak and useless. He said that he would never leave his brothers side, no matter the cost. He said he would rather be unpopular with his brother than being popular without him." I explained.
"So, he chose being an outcast over being popular? When we find them we'll tell them how sorry we are." Said Ruffnut.
"You mean you will have to. If you haven't noticed, none of you ever said sorry for everything we did and they forgave us…"
"You mean Hiccup? Connor never forgave us."
"Let's just forget this and go get something to eat." I suggested, they both agreed and we all walked to the hall, but before we opened the door Tuffnut came up behind us.
"Sis, have you seen Barf and Belch?" He asked.
"Don't trick me Tuff, I'm not in the mood…"
"No, I'm being serious, same goes for the others." He interrupted. We all looked at each other in worry.
"What do you mean?" Asked Fishlegs.
"I went to go and feed our dragons, since it was my turn, but when I got to the hangers Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug, Barf or Belch weren't there, and that doesn't help the fact that Toothless is missing." He finished. As I was going to say something we heard a horn blow.
'Crap, the Meathead tribe is here.' I thought. Everyone in Berk ran to the docks to greet our guests. As we got there a boy who looked very similar to Fishlegs jumped off, carrying two axes on his back and a sword on his belt.
"Thuggory, please do wait up for me." Said a voice, with it a big, muscular man came up from the boat and looked at his son.
"Sorry father, I just wanted to see Hiccup and Connor, it has been so long since I last saw them." Replied the boy, now known as Thuggory. My mouth dropped.
'How does he know them?' I thought to myself.
"Welcome to Berk, Mogadon." Cried Stoic, cheerfully.
"Thank you for having us. Is my brother here?" Asked Mogadon.
"Brother?" Said Stoic, cocking his head and raising his eyebrow.
"Yes, my brother Narvarez . He would travel around the world and take rare items from it." Responded Mogadon. He looks around and doesn't see Hiccup nor Connor.
"Say, where are you kids? I would like to see them again." Asked Mogadon.
"Yes, where are they? I haven't seen them in years and I really want to hear from them about how they defeated the Red Death." Asked Thuggory.
Unknown Island-Hiccup's POV
We land on an unknown island because the dragons need a rest and Connor looked like he was going to pass out any minute. As we land the dragons immediately look around to see if there was anything that would hurt us, after a couple of minutes they come back with nothing.
"Well, that's good." Spoke Connor, he's sitting in front of a rock with his back resting on it.
"Not entirely." I point out.
"If we didn't find anything in a small area, then something could be beyond that area, meaning we're letting our guard down." I continued, Connor looked at me like I was crazy but I shrug that off as him being semi awake, considering that he was unconscious a few hours ago and he didn't sleep the whole night.
"*Yawn* well, I'm going to sleep, wake me if we're going." Said Connor before curling up into a ball and falling asleep. Hookfang and Meatlug did the same while Stormfly, Sharpshot, Shadow, Bark & Belch, Toothless and I were fully awake. I get up and walk over to a bag and search it for the ones that had food in it, luckily it was and I grabbed the fish that was there and evenly gave it out to the others that were awake. I pull aside a bag which is for Connor, Hookfang and Meatlug when they wake up. After we all eat I decide to go look for a lake or something so I can get cleaned up, I haven't had a bath since yesterday which is un-Viking like, since everyone else has a bath one every month.
"Ok, I'm going to go and look for a lake to get cleaned." I said, getting my spare clothes out of another bag. As I stand up straight Toothless is right next to me;
"I'll go with you." He suggested, I gladly take it and we go and walk off into the forest.
(Few hours later)
We were gone for a few hours because we had to find a lake. As I was washing myself Toothless decided to sneak up on me and splash at me, then we started a splashing war. After the war I dry myself off and get into my new clothes, because of Connor I have new clothes made by him with designs like axes, swords, Toothless and many more.
"Come on bud, they're probably worried sick about us being gone so long." I say, jumping on his back, leaving my old clothes that I've had for year behind. We decide to fly back because it would be quicker and we could find somewhere else to stay for the night. We fly back to our camp to see everything packed up and everyone awake. We land and I jump off Toothless;
"Why did you pack up?" I ask, hoping the answer he gives me is not what I think it is.
"I woke up a few minutes ago and Stormfly said you and Toothless went to look for a lake; and that you left a bag of food for Hookfang, Meatlug and I. We ate and I realized you would want to leave when you got back, so I did it for you so we can leave quicker." He answered; he actually knew what I wanted to do before I could even say anything.
"So, I guess you're feeling better now." I say, making small talk as we pack the bags onto the dragons.
"Not really, I still feel like crap from the poison but not as not as tired." He said, I noticed he had a piece of wood and some vines made into a fake leg.
'I take it that he made something while I was gone.' I thought as I finish tying off the last bag.
"Ready to go, we've got to get as far as possible, and I don't want be found so easily." I ask. He doesn't say anything, just gives me a confirming nod and jumped of Hookfang. I hop on Toothless and we fly off the same way we were heading before we land.
(The next day)
We stopped on a different island so we could all sleep and eat. When we woke up we left to continue our journey. As we were flying I noticed smoke way in the distance.
"Connor do you see that?" I say, pointing in the direction of the smoke. He looks over his shoulder to see where I was pointing at. He pulls out a spy glass that I didn't know he had.
"Hiccup, that's an island, and it's being raided." He said worriedly. He looks closer in the spy glass and gasps.
"Hiccup, Dagur is raiding that island." He bitterly said. We immediately fly faster so we could help out as much as possible.
"We'll land in the forest. Stormfly, Hookfang, Barf, Belch, your with us, the rest of you stay here. That goes for you Hiccup." Ordered Connor. He walks to Hookfang but I grab his hand.
"Why can't I come with you?" I ask, hoping he changes his mind.
"You and Toothless stay here if anything goes wrong. I'll take Shadow so if he comes back you'll know what happened. I nearly lost you once; I'm not taking that chance again." He explained as he got on Hookfang and flew off.
With Connor-Connor's POV
BOOM!
Another shot fired from Barf & Belch hit the group of Berserkers. I see a group of Berserkers surrounding a father and his child.
"I'll be back." I say before leaping off of Hookfang to help them out. As I'm falling I take out my Bowrd and switch it to sword mode, and aimed the sword right at an unsuspecting foe. I land with such grace I take out all the Berserkers in mere seconds. As I stand up the father hold his child closer.
" are you?" He asked with worry and fear in his voice.
"It is okay, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm the one commanding the dragons that are helping you." I explain.
"Wait, your Connor, aren't you? You're the one who took on the Red Death and survived." Well, it is nice to be recognized for my heroic deeds.
"Yes, I saw you were under attack and came to help. Where are your weapons?"
"They blew up our armory; we only have the weapons we have in our homes and what he can find. Grab a sword and take out as many people as you can, I'll do my best to keep as many building standing." I say before the guy charges into battle.
"Connor? What are you doing here?" I hear behind me. I know that demonic voice anywhere.
"I'm saving this village from you, that's what. As for me being here, that will have to wait." I angrily say before turning around and going for a stab to his heart, but he moves out of the way.
"WOW! I guess that you're not that good of a fighter after all." He says before laughing like a madman.
"Well, I did kill Alvin, and I hope up mere hours from being poisoned." I say, shooting him sarcastic grin. He stops laughing and looks at me.
"Liar, you only won the other fight because of luck, and all your luck has ran out now."
Let's get this over and done with.' I thought as I switch my Bowrd into staff mode and smacked it on his head. I use this time to run at his and hit him with a flurry of strikes.
"You best leave while you can." I say, grinning because I proved him wrong one again. He looks at me then behind him.
"MEN, FALL BACK!" Commanded Dagur before running off onto his ship. I can't be bothered trying to kill Berserkers because my leg is killing.
"Shadow, tell Hiccup and the rest it's safe to come over." I tell Shadow, he nods and flies off to Hiccup. I turn around and see almost the whole village standing behind me.
"We cannot thank you enough. You've saved our people, our homes; you are most welcome to stay here, as well as your dragons." Says the man who I saved, everyone agrees with him and cheers my name.
"Umm, would the chief be willing to take in four more?" I ask worriedly. He looks at me in surprise then starts to laugh.
"I am the chief, and yes, if you have friends they are most welcome, although I didn't see anyone besides yourself and the dragons." He proclaims in happiness.
"Well, I would be honored to tell you my story, but that can be told over a feast. But for now, why did Dagur come here?" I ask. He sighs and looks at the ground.
"He came here because we found something. I don't know what it is but he most definitely wanted it. He was about to get it when you showed up." He confesses, looking back at me. Before I could ask what it is he walks over to where I first met him and pulls a wooden plank out of the wall, he reaches in and pulls out a rounded, obsidian colored object. He gives it to me;
"I'm hoping you could figure out what it is, we couldn't but since your more friendly with dragons, you could see if any of them know what it is." He says. I turn the object around a couple of times and knock on it. I walk over to where he took it out from and observe the area.
'The house was on fire, this might not be the color it was originally.'
"Say, was this a different color before the house was on fire?"
"No, that is the color it is when we picked it up." He answers. I give it a couple of more knocks and put my ear to it. Nothing. I look around to see if anyone was watching me, when no one was I sniffed it. I immediately recognize the smell.
'NO WAY, THERE ARE MORE' I yell in my mind, my face mixed with shock and happiness. The chief notices my face and tilts his head to the side.
"You know what it is?" Everyone stops what they're doing and looks at me.
"This. This here is a Night Fury egg, and by how long it you've had it, I'd say it's almost ready to hatch." I say, everyone begins to stiffen and have shocks on their faces. Just as they begin to move away again and fix as many houses as they could, Hiccup came through the forest with Meatlug, Toothless, Shadow and Sharpshot. I run over to Toothless, ignoring Hiccup completely.
"TOOTHLES, TOOTHLESS, TOOTHLESS!"
"Yes Connor, you do not need to shout."
"This is a perfect time to shout. Look" I say before showing him the egg.
"What is it? I do not recognize the smell."
"Toothless, this is a Night Fury egg. It's almost ready to hatch." I say. As my words left my mouth Toothless starts jumping up and down in pure joy, and so are the other dragons. Toothless jumps on me and begins to lick my face. As I get up after a couple of minutes I see Hiccup and the chief shaking hands and talking, I get up and walk over to them, holding the egg tightly.
"Connor, welcome to our new home. We'll be living here."
'Ok, I could get used to this.'
The Next Day
I wake up from a very cozy sleep.
'Almost the best one I've had in years.' I think as I get up, remembering the egg in my hands. I haven't let go of the egg since I got it. I bring the egg up to my chest and place it in my vest, holding it in place. I walk outside to a nice, warm ray of sunlight.
"Morning." I hear coming from multiple people around the house. It's so nice having people who greet you when you walk outside. I walk over to where the Hall is and walk inside. No one was in there so I take a seat and place the egg on the table.
"Well, if Toothless is cute, you're going to be even cuter." I say, going girly on the last part. I hear a noise and look around the room, I look back at the egg and notice cracks coming out of it. My heart start to beat rapidly, I pick it up and throw it in the air. When the egg hit the highest point of its arc it exploded, and a tiny back dragon landed in my hands. I look at it with tears coming out of my eyes, it's so cute. It moves its head in multiple directions before opening its eyes. I see the color of the eyes are the same as mine. I bring my hands closer to me and the second it could, it brought its head to my chest and snuggled into my vest. I look at my vest and see its head poke out of it.
"Awwwwwww, you're cute a cute little thing aren't you?" I say before scratching its neck, it purrs in delight but its purrs were high pitched which made it all the more cuter. I grab the dragon with two hands and bring it to my face and sniff it.
"I guess you're a female dragon." I say. She brought her head to mine and butted heads with me. I move her and my hands so her head is on my shoulder and me holding the rest.
"This is going to be so awesome." I say before I walk outside, not knowing what is in store for my life here.
AHHHH, CUTE BABY NIGHT FURY ALERT, BETTER GET YOUR CAMERAS BECAUSE SHE'S GONNA ME CUTE. How was that for a chapter, I've been wanting to do this for about 6 chapters and I finally got it. I hope you enjoy the chapter. Oh and also, I'll probably stop this story and do the other story so I can continue on this, because there are some stuff I need to clarify and I can only do that in a different story. I'll see what I can do and hope for the best.
