Chapter Eight: Final Test

You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. Christopher Columbus

Hiccup's Pov

"Stoick: Well, I can show my face in public again!"

"Stoick: If someone had told me that in just few short weeks, Hiccup would go from being, well... Hiccup, to placing first in Dragon Training... Well, I would've tied him to a mast and shipped him off for fear he'd gone mad. Yes! And you know it! But here we are. And no one's more surprised..."

"Stoick: ... or more proud than I am. Today, my boy becomes a Viking. TODAY, HE BECOMES ONE OF US!"

"Astrid: Be careful with that dragon."

"Hiccup: It's not the dragon I'm worried about."

"Astrid: What are you gonna do?"

"Hiccup: Put an end to this."

"Hiccup: I have to try. Astrid, if something goes wrong... just make sure they don't find Toothless."

"Astrid: I will. Just... promise me it won't go wrong."

"Gobber: It's time, Hiccup. Knock him dead."

"Tuffnut: Show 'em how it's done, my man!"

"Stoick: Hrmph. I would've gone for the hammer."

"Hiccup: I'm ready."

"Stoick: What is he doing?"

"Hiccup: It's okay. It's okay."

"Hiccup: I'm not one of them."

"Stoick: Stop the fight."

"Hiccup: No! I need you all to see this. They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them."

"Stoick: I SAID STOP THE FIGHT!"

"Stoick: Out of my way!"

"Astrid: Hiccup! HICCUP!"

"Stoick: This way!"

"Gobber: Night Fury!"

"Hiccup: Alright, Toothless, go. Get out of here!"

"Vikings: Night Fury!"

"Hiccup: Go! GO!"

"Toothless: STOP! I am not here to hurt you."

"Villager's: Did... that dragon just speak."

"Toothless: Yes I did. Now are you going to listen or do I have to yell again?"

"Villager's: We will listen."

"Toothless: Right I am only able to speak to you in this way because of my bond with young Hiccup here. The dragon's that raid your Island for food are forced to do it because they don't have any other choice."

"Villager's: What do you mean they don't have any choice?"

"Toothless: They are being controlled bu another dragon that you would call a Red Death. They only have two choice's and they are 1: Feed the Red Death by gathering food for it, Or 2: Feed the Red Death by using themselves. As they don't want to die they chose the first option.

"Stoic: But if the other dragon's are being controlled then why aren't you?"

"Toothless: Because the Red Death and I have an understanding between us that if I don't attack it then it will leave me alone."

"Fishlegs: So where does Hiccup come into this? And by extension our village?"

"Toothless: There is a legend that has been past down from generation to generation that there would be two dragon's that would bond with to people and with their help we would bring peace to both of our kinds. There are also going to be four more dragon rider's."

"Snotlout: So who are the other dragon rider's?"

"Isa: I am one."

"Stoic: Isa? So is this why you came home early?"

"Isa: Yeah and I was heading home any way so I came home three days early."

"Gober: Well what do we need to do to get rid of the Red Death?"

"Toothless: Astrid, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Snotlout are the other dragon rider's. We will lead the ships to dragon Island and with your help we will bring the Red Death out of the nest, then Hiccup and I will kill the Red Death."

"Stoic: Well what are we waiting for? We'll load the ships while Hiccup and Isa get the other rider's ready."

"Hiccup: Well lets get going."

"Hiccup: Isa we'll meet you there."

"Isa: Okay."

"Hiccup: Right Fishlegs your dragon will be the Gronckle."

"Fishlegs: Ok."

"Hiccup: Right Ruff, Tuff your dragon will be the Hideous Zippleback."

"Tuffnut and Ruffnut: Ok."

"Hiccup: Right Snotlout your dragon will be the Monstrous Nightmare."

"Snotlout: Cool!"

"Hiccup: Right Astrid your dragon will be the Deadly Nadder."

"Astrid: Right."

"Astrid: So what happen's now."

"Hiccup: Well we bond you to your dragons then we fly."

(A/N: Hiccup bonds all the dragons to their riders.)

"Snotlout: Where are you going?"

"Hiccup: You're going to need something to help you hold on."

"Hiccup: Dad are ready to go?"

"Stoic: Yep we're ready to go when you are."

"Hiccup: Right lets head out."

(A/N: Everything that happen's between Stoic and the boats leaving and the kids turning up in the moive has happened.)

"Hiccup: Ruff, Tuff, watch your backs! Move, Fishlegs!"

"Hiccup: Up, let's move it!"

"Hiccup: Fishlegs, break it down!"

"Fishlegs: Okay! Heavily armored skull and tail made for bashing and crushing! Steer clear of both! Small eyes, large nostrils! Relies on hearing and smell!"

"Hiccup: Okay! Lout, Legs, hang in its blind spot! Make some noise, keep it confused! Ruff, Tuff, find out if it has a shot limit! Make it mad!"

"Ruffnut: That's my specialty!"

"Tuffnut: Since when?! Everyone knows I'm more irritating! See?!"

"Hiccup: Just do what I told you!"

"Snotlout: Don't worry, we got it covered!"

"Fishlegs: Yeah!"

"Tuffnut: Troll!"

"Ruffnut: Butt-Elf!"

"Tuffnut: Bride of Grendel!"

"Fishlegs: Uh, this thing doesn't have a blind spot!"

"Hiccup: Go help the others!"

"Snotlout: It's working!"

"Fishlegs: Yeah! It's working!"

"Snotlout: Agghh!"

"Fishlegs: I've lost power on the Gronckle! SNOTLOUT! DO SOMETHING!"

"Fishlegs: I'm okay! Less okay...!"

"Snotlout: I can't miss! What's wrong buddy? Got something in your eye?"

"Astrid: Yeah! You're the Viking!"

"Snotlout: Whoa!"

"Isla: Hiccup what do you need Isa and I to do?"

"Hiccup: I'm gonna need your help when it comes down to killing the Red Death."

"Isla: You got it."

"Astrid: Get Snotlout out of there!"

"Twins: I'm on it!"

"Tuffnut: I can't believe that worked!"

"Gobber: Night Fury! Get down!"

"Hiccup: Did you get her?"

"Astrid: Go."

"Hiccup: That thing has wings! Okay, let's see if it can use them!"

"Toothless: We're going to have to lead the Red Death up into the clouds to get enough momentum to kill it."

"Hiccup: You just read my mind I was just going to suggest that we do that."

"Hiccup: Do you think that did it?"

"Hiccup: Well, he can fly."

"Hiccup: Okay, Toothless, time to disappear! Come on, bud!"

"Hiccup: Here it comes!"

"Hiccup: Watch out! Okay, time's up! Let's see if this works."

"Hiccup: Isla we need you ."

"Isla: I'm right behind you."

"Hiccup: Right this is what we're going to do w are going to get the Red Death to follow us and as soon as it starts breathing it's gas we're going to fire two shots at it thus sending the gas back on the Red Death and killing it I hope."

"Isla: Well what are we waiting for?"

"Hiccup: COME ON! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!

"Hiccup: Stay with me, buddy. We're good. Just a little bit longer."

"Hiccup and Isa: Hold Toothless, Isla... NOW!"

"Hiccup: No! NO!"

"Isla and Isa: HICCUP!"

"Stoick: Hiccup! Hiccup! Son!"

"Stoick: Hiccup."

"Stoick: Oh, son... I did this..."

"Stoick: I'm so...I'm so sorry...

"Stoick: Hiccup! Oh, he's alive! You brought him back alive!"

"Stoick: Thank you... for saving my son."

"Isla and Isa: Oh Thank God."

"Gobber: Well, you know... most of him."
