"Hello."

Chapter 6

Hiccup entered the Kill Arena expecting all the other teenagers there but it was only Astrid. He only just remembered that it was the final match between him and her so he walked in. Gobber closed the gates and opened the huge door containing a Gronckle, however, this Gronckle was Meatlug.

"Hiccup! I got captured last night! What should I do!?"

"Astrid shouldn't hurt you because...I'll tell you later but try and attack me then just pass out." Meatlug went straight for Hiccup so he got his axe ready by his side, when Meatlug got close enough, Hiccup slashed his axe at her but delibaretly missed, Meatlug then flew away to search for Astrid but Astrid was just hiding behind a barricade the whole time because she didn't know what to do but she then decided she needs to act like nothing happened so she had to act all tough for her family since people say Fearless Finn Hofferson got scared by a Flightmare. Astrid then jumped over the barricade and slashed at the dragon but missed on purpose.

"I thought you said she wasn't going to attack?"

"I don't know!" Astrid tried to hit it again with her axe but did it slowly so the dragon would have enough time to dodge it. "Come for me now and then pass out." Meatlug ran at Hiccup but Hiccup pretended to rub her with Dragon Nip. Since Hiccup was a dragon the Dragon Nip would effect him too so he didn't use it, Meatlug then stopped and lay on her back, pretending to be unconscious. Cheers erupted from the crowds but Astrid didn't care since she didn't want to kill dragons anymore.

"Silence! The Elder has decided!" Stoick shouted through the cheers. Gobber put his hook over Astrid's head but Gothi shook her head. Gobber then put his hand over Hiccup's head and The Elder nodded. Cheers and clapping were heard throughout the crowd, Hiccup looked over to Astrid but was surprised to see her calm, maybe she didn't want to kill dragons anymore. Suddenly, Snotlout, Tuffnut, Ruffnut and Fishlegs lifted him up and cheered for him.

"Yeah! Yes! I can't wait, so..." The shot cuts to Hiccup with a basket on his back, "...leaving! We're leaving. Let's pack up, looks like you and me are taking a little vacation. Forever." Hiccup opened the basket of fish, wanting to eat it now but they needed to save food for the journey so he got up. Astrid was sitting on the rock in front of him, sharpening her axe. "Ah!" Hiccup was surprised to see her there so he stumbled back. "What the...! Uh...What...are you doing here?" Astrid dropped the stone behind her while staring at her axe,

"I wanna know what's going on." Astrid got off the rock and threw her axe to her right hand and walked in front of Hiccup with her axe slightly pointing at Hiccup, making him back away. "Start talking, why are you always in the forest? What happened when I saw you and the Night Fury in the same place?" Hiccup sighed, he's going to have to do it. Astrid seems to trust him anyways so she shouldn't attack him.

"Alright, I'll show you. Just watch." Hiccup backed away and took a deep breath. Astrid had a puzzled look on her face since she didn't know what Hiccup was doing. Hiccup then suddenly morphed into a black scaly dragon. It was the same Night Fury she had seen before on the beach!

"Hiccup? You were the Night Fury?" Hiccup nodded and made a purring sound. "Okay." Hiccup transformed back into his human form,

"Okay!? Just...okay!?" Hiccup was in disbelief, he thought Astrid would've at least tried to kill him.

"Well yeah, what else do you want me to say?"

"So...you trust me?"

"Mhm. I mean, I always suspected you were the Night Fury, remember that day I said I had a crazy theory? Well...this was the theory."

"Do you want to be a Night Fury?" Astrid didn't expect that he'd ask that so quickly,

"Uh..."

"If we have more Night Furies, we can be more powerful and we can take down the Queen."

"The Queen?"

"Big, powerful dragon making other dragons raid us, I'll explain later. Do you want to be a Night Fury or not?"

"Yeah! If that's the reason we're being raided then yes!" Hiccup transformed into his dragon form and walked slowly to Astrid. Hiccup opened his mouth and bit Astrid's arm, Hiccup then let the venom drip from his teeth into the cut. Astrid looked pale so Hiccup backed away and transformed back into his human form. Hiccup had then realised the cut in her arm was too deep so he quickly tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around Astrid's arm. Astrid was breathing heavily and suddenly, she fainted from rapid blood loss. Hiccup was panicking so he picked up a giant piece of leaf and wrapped it around where the shirt already was. All Hiccup could do now was wait.

The Next Day

Hiccup had stayed next to Astrid for 11 hours, waiting for her to wake up, suddenly, Astrid's eyes opened and she shot up, breathing heavily.

"Astrid! Are you okay!?"

"Y-ye-yeah."

"Can you stand up?" Astrid got up but instantly fell so Hiccup caught her and straightened her up. "Can you walk around?" Astrid moved her legs in front of her slowly and soon enough, she started to walk around, jump and do all things she could do before. "Okay, now. Think of turning into a Night Fury."

"Wait what?"

"In your mind, say, 'I am a Night Fury'." Astrid said this over and over again in her mind until...

She had turned into a Night Fury.

A week later

Hiccup had taught Astrid all he knows about being a Night Fury, Hiccup still hasn't fought the Monstrous Nightmare because the Vikings haven't caught any yet. Hiccup had rescued Meatlug and has now told everybody about Astrid. Hiccup and Toothless had called for a meeting in the cove.

"Settle down!" Toothless tried to calm everybody down,

"Today we have called this meeting for a special reason..." Hiccup said,

"...we are going to stop this war..." Toothless continued.

"...By killing the Queen!" Hiccup finished. Cheers and roars erupted from the small crowd of dragons.

"Let's go!" Toothless shouted while flying bursting in to the air, the rest of the dragons soon followed and flew to Helheim's gate, which you need to go past to get to the Dragon Nest.

However, somebody with an orange bread had seen these dragons fly away...
