Chapter 1
"NIGHT FURY!"
"GET DOWN!"
Suddenly, a purple blast exploded the tower as a black blur zoomed past it,
"JUMP!" Stoick, the chief of Berk, shouted as he jumped from the wooden, on-fire tower.
"This thing never steals food, never shows itself and..."
Another purple blast explodes the tower,
"...Never misses. No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm going to be the first."
"Man the fort, Hiccup. They need ME out there," Gobber says as he waddles off to the entrance of the forge. He turns around to Hiccup and points at him, "stay, put, there! You know what I mean." Gobber screams and raises his axe-hand and hops off to kill some dragons.
Completely ignoring Gobber's orders, Hiccup runs out of the forge with his wooden bola-cannon, dodging the huge vikings along the way.
Three Deadly Nadders surround five helpless sheep. Out of nowhere, Stoick throws a huge net on the Nadders and trap them,
"LET'S GET 'EM!" One of the vikings say as they run towards the trapped dragons, a Nadder tries to escape by breathing a ray of scorching-hot fire but Stoick jumps on the Nadder and closes its mouth with his hands,
"The devils still have some juice in them!" Stoick yelled while trying to hang on to the angered Nadder.
Hiccup is running up the hill with his bola-cannon, he stops and sets up his cannon by opening up the cannon and pulling levers. He searches the dark sky for the Night Fury.
"Give me something to shoot at, give me something to shoot at." Hiccup mutters. A distant roar is heard in the sky, that's when Hiccup spots something overlapping the stars. He takes aim at the moving blur, a screeching sound is heard and a blast explodes mid-air when a dragon emerges out of the explosion. Hiccup aims at the flying dragon and shoots, the recoil sends Hiccup flying back as the bola darts to the dragon. A snapping sound is heard along with a screech, the dark figure falls down to the forest.
"I hit it," Hiccup throws his arms in the air, "YES! I HIT IT!"
Skipped to where Hiccup is looking for Toothless
Hiccup is looking at a book with X's over a map of Berk, he looks away from the book hoping to see the downed dragon in front of him but, alas, it wasn't there. Hiccup sighed and drew another X on his map. He scribbled on the page in frustration, he sighed and shut the book,
"Oh the gods hate me, some people lose their knife or mug. No not me! I manage to lose an entire dragon!" He slaps a branch in front of him only for it to swing back and hit him in the forehead. He looks at the sliced tree and finds the ground has been cut through. Hiccup slides down, wondering what did this. He looks over the edge and sees a dark wing in the air, Hiccup gasps and hides behind the ground. He breathes heavily. Hiccup slowly looks over the edge to see a jet-black, sleek figure with bat-like wings tied up in ropes. Hiccup frantically searched for his knife in his fur vest and took it out, he slid down the rock and approached the dragon. "Oh wow, I-I did it, ohh I did it! This-this fixes everything! YES!" He steps towards the Night Fury and puts his right foot on him, "I have brought down this mighty beast!" The Night Fury growls and kicks Hiccup off his body, Hiccup was sent flying towards the rock, he was breathing heavily. Hiccup pointed his knife at the dragon and edged closer, its eye suddenly opened and stared at the scrawny boy, he growled. "I'm going to kill you, dragon and I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a viking. I am a viking!" Hiccup knew this wasn't true but he wanted to believe it anyway. He brought the small dagger over his head and looked at the dragon's eye, it looked afraid, just like Hiccup is. The dragon moaned and accepted his fate, he put his head down and closed his eyes, waiting for the dagger to pierce his stomach. Hiccup was struggling to bring the dagger down, not because he was weak, but because he couldn't choose whether or not to kill him or not. He brung the knife down, but not to kill the dragon, it was to cut the ropes and free it. As soon as the ropes were loose the dragon jumped on Hiccup and made his back hit the rock. Ferocious forest-green eyes were staring right into Hiccup's eyes. The Night Fury growled.
Toothless' POV
I stared right into the scrawny boy's eyes. I don't know why I didn't kill him straight away, but he didn't kill me so I guess I could leave him to live. However, not every viking would let me live if they had a chance to kill me so I decided to do something no dragon has done before...I bit his arm. But of course, many dragons would've done that before but this bite...it was a special kind of bite. My teeth pierced through his skin and my venom dripped into the cut. I roared at him and backed away. He looked like he was about to faint so I said,
"Meet me in the cove." And I flew away.
A/N
Toothless doesn't lose his fin in this story because later in the story Toothless is going to need that to teach Hiccup something.
