AUTHOR NOTE! I'm gonna make a few changes. Forget everything you read about Toothless only having one tail fin. He has both tail fins. I might have Toothless loose a tail fin, and Hicca loose a leg, but the possibility of it is slim.

GENDERBEND! HTTYD!

The Viking and the Dragon Maiden.

Chapter Five; Honey, Hatchets, and Red Deaths.

Ash's POV.

When I woke up, I wish I could've fallen back asleep.

But a Scauldron wont stop prodding me in the stomach... wait...

THERE WAS A SCAULDRON PRODDING ME IN THE STOMACH!

I jumped, only to fall off the grass covered slab that I was on, and groan as the aftereffects of the poison kicked in. Man, I feel horrible.

"Yeah, I suggest you take it easy for a while." a feminine voice called from the entrance of the water filled cave, and it turned out to be Hicca. I tried to stand, but I slipped, only to be caught by something scaly. I looked to see light blue scales and pale yellow spikes. I knew who it was. That Mother Nadder.

"Don't be alarmed. She knows you don't mean any harm." Hicca told me... Hicca... I know I heard that name somewhere before! But where?!

I mentally shook myself. Now is not the time.

"Come on. Your friends are worried about you." I froze. The others!

"Where are they?! If you hurt them, I swear I'll-!"

"Calm down! I didn't hurt them. And I don't intend to." Hicca held a hand out for me to stop, and I did, but I still glared at her. Pretty or not, she was a threat to us, and until I know what she wants, she's my enemy. Wait... did I just think she's pretty?! Well, sure she is, but- no wait!

"Are you coming?" I looked up and saw that she was now outside the cave, the Night Fury beside her. Shaking a bit from the poison, I get up from the ground, with Mother Nadder's help and step out the cave, and met quite a beautiful sight. The only problem? The Dragons. But I said nothing, knowing if I did, I'd be Dragon food.

"Well?" I looked to see Hicca on her Dragon, as Mother Nadder bent down, her wing down, waiting for me to get on. "You want to meet your friends or not?" I sighed.

"Fine, but I prefer walking!" I said, walking ahead, completely ignoring the waiting Nadder, who squawked. Now, I didn't speak Dragonese, but I'm pretty sure she said 'no need to be rude'. Hicca sighed, then patted Toothless's shoulder, urging him to go forward. I walked up a small hill, until I finally saw the others, either looking at the multipule Dragons flying by and shooting them looks, or their sitting on a rock, writing in the dirt with a stick.

"Guys!"

Their heads snapped up at my voice and saw me and made their way over.

"You alright Ash?"

"Can we kill something now?!"

"What was it like having Nadder poison in ya?"

"Did the Scauldron bite ya?!"

"Everyone calm down!" they all stopped yelling at once, when I yelled. "Fishlegs, I'm fine. Snotlout, no, we don't. Tuffnut, it was horrible. Ruffnut, no, it didn't bite me." I said slowly, like I was talking to children. Tuff and Ruff sighed, disappointed, as well as Snotlout, I guess for not killing anything, and Fishlegs sighed in relief.

"I'll have you meet the White King some other time. I'll leave you alone for a bit, there's something I need to do." Hicca told us, before looking at me, "Stormfly will be your escort. And don't do anything to harm the Nest. Or I'll drop you off Outcast Island. Got it?" we nodded quickly. A Dragon Nest was better then Outcast Island.

Hicca sighed, before getting on top of the Night Fury, Toothless, and flying off to Thor knows where.

"Let's kill the Dragons while she gone." Snotlout told us, before the Nightmare that was beside him flamed up, growling. "OKAY, OKAY, OKAY! No killing! Got it!" I raised an eyebrow, and looked to Fishlegs for an explanation.

"Ever since we first got here, Hicca had these Dragons follow us around, like personal guards to keep us out of trouble."

"Or to keep us from causing trouble." I elaborated, as I sneered at the direction Hicca and Toothless went. Toothless? What king of name is that for a Dragon anyhow?

"What do we do?"

"Well, we don't do anything to the Dragons. We're outnumbered anyhow. And besides, what we should be doing is gaining her trust. Get her when she least expects it! You know, the old 'Honey and the Hatchet'!" I cried and they cheered.

Before the Dragons around us started growling again.

I sighed.

Gaining her trust, with all these distrustful Dragons around, was gonna be a problem.

Hicca's POV.

As me, Toothless, and the Dragon Heart are flying around the Islands, I couldn't help but think back at the Outsiders from Berk. Especially Ash. I can't seem to get him out of my head.

"Sister?" I jumped a bit, before looking at Toothless, who was looking over his shoulder, a worried look on his face. "Are you alright?"

I smiled. Though it can be a bit annoying how overprotective he can be, he still a great big brother.

"I'm fine, brother. If anything I'm more worried about the guys. I hope they can handle those Outsiders."

"Ah! They'll be fine!" he dismissed, knowing full well what they were capable of. "They would make great Dragon Heart warriors." I smiled. I couldn't agree more. But my smile faded when I saw it.

We're here.

Infernia's Island.

Infernia is a Red Death, and is also known as the Red Queen, but she was the most horrid Queen you can come by. She was relentless, ruthless, and had no care for the Nest she was supposed to protect. Instead, she used the inhabitants of her Nest as slaves, sending them out to get food from outlining villages, such as Berk, and any Dragons that doesn't bring enough food, or none at all, are food themselves. I find it sickening.

I am proud my father isn't like that.

"Let's go." Toothless, as well as the Dragon Heart nodded.

The Captains of the Dragon Heart was made out of each Class of Dragons. The Sharp Dragons are led by a my guardian, a Stormcutter named Cloudjumper. The Stoker Dragon's leader were a Moldruffle named Firetail. The Boulder Dragons had a Whispering Death, Etch as their leader. A Boneknapper by the name of Skull were the Mystery Dragon's Captain. Tracker Class Dragon had Skullcrusher as their leader, and was very clear about that. Tidal Dragons had Thornado, a Thunderdrum as their Captain. Toothless had taken over as Strike Captain after a Frostfright, a Snow Wraith retired and simply became a Waterspout's apprentice.

And right now, me and the Captains were going to be spying on Infernia.

We flew right in and hid behind some rocks, as we watched in disgust as many different kinds of Dragons flew in and threw livestock down a large hole, which no doubt, Infernia laid her lazy ass in. She absolutely disgusted me.

"Toothless, if I ever start forcing Dragons to hunt for me, promise you'll slap me awake." I told him, him, just as disgusted as I was.

"I know. I can't believe I used to work for her."

If your wondering what he was talking about, he was once a resident of Infernia's Nest. He never got food for her, he just destroyed all the watch towers and catapults that could hurt his fellow Dragons, not that she could care less if half her Nest was wiped out, the only thing she was concerned about was food, and she proved that when one day, while Toothless still worked here, she nearly eaten a Terrible Terror, who could reasonably got nothing but a few rabbits, and if it weren't for Toothless, that Terror, Sharpshot, would have been killed. They both lived together after that, and then they met me and then, lived with us ever since.

Anyway, a Gronckle had just flown in, breathing hard, indicating that he had flown far, before hovering over the hole, and lazily let a small fish fall from his tongue and into the hole, and began to scratch himself.

Before a loud rumbling could be heard, and everyone hid behind some rocks and boulders, as the Gronckle made to fly away.

"My Queen! Please! That was all I could find!" he attempted to plead, but it proved useless as Infernia's ugly head shot through the red smoke and completely engulfed the Gronckle in her mouth.

"Then you are of no use to me." She hummed in satisfaction, before freezing and began sniffing around. I froze as did the others. She knew the scent of everyone in her Nest. The slightest smell of something different means an intruder is in her Nest. Her Nest. She doesn't deserve to be Queen.

"Night Fury." She growled, before roaring in fury.

"MOVE!" we took flight, just as her jaws snapped at us.

Everything was in a frenzy! All the Dragons took flight, trying to get outside, not wanting to face her blind wrath. We were just about to head out, when I heard a roar of pain, and looked to see Thornado, his wing, in the jaws of that monster as she began to drag him down.

"Thornado!" I cried, "Toothless!" he fired at her jaw, causing her to release him. His wing was badly damaged! He couldn't fly! Thank Thor that Cloudjumper got to him before she could.

"Let's get out of here!" we flew to the top of the volcano, and I looked back just to see her grab an innocent Zippleback, before dragging it back to her hole below.

I spat down the hole in rage.

I need to do something. These Dragons suffered her plight long enough.

She needed to be stopped.

And that was the new chapter! Sorry if it was too short for you.

Seeya later!
