Hiccup's POV:

I woke up with a heavy heart, today was the day, the day I had to either Kill a Monstrous Nightmare or try to show everyone dragons are harmless, nows my time to make up my mind, I won't have very long when I'm in the ring facing the dragon. I wanted to stay in bed all day and forget this ever happened, I would have tried if my father hadn't decided to get me out of bed this morning.

"Up and ready, son, Today is the big day!" He hollers as he came through the door, he literally lifted me out of bed and placed me on my feet, "Hiccup, I don't think I could be any prouder than I am right now!"

He started for the door then stopped to say "Don't forget your helmet, your mother would want you to wear it on such an occasion" he carried on out the door, I turned and spied the helmet hanging off the end of my bed, the sight of it brought memories of the talk we both had a couple of nights ago when he first returned.

I picked it up and placed it on my head, it didn't make me feel like I thought it would when I was younger, back then I loved the idea of dragon hunting and being a Viking, but now that spark has disappeared, now I know the true reason why dragons attack and that either way they would die, if they don't obey the Queen they get eaten but if they do, they have a chance of being killed by a Viking.

"Come on, Son!" I heard from outside the house, " The one doing the killing should be the first one there!"

I reluctantly walked down and out, making my way to the kill ring with my father, I through a glance over to the forest hoping to see Gale watching from the treetops once more, but she wasn't there, then again it is earlier than usual she's probably still asleep, lucky.

"Go on, you have to wait by the gate" He said as he pushed me to the entrance of my impending doom. I took off my helmet and looked at it, 'Would my mother really be proud of this?'.

"Be careful with that dragon!" I heard a concerned voice say behind me, I turned my head to look at Astrid, then looked over at my dad who was welcoming everyone, talking about how proud he is.

"It's not the dragon I'm worried about." I turned to her once more, "Astrid, if something goes wrong in the ring, make sure no one find Toothless."

"I will, and so would Gale, just promise nothing goes wrong." She replied, but I couldn't promise her that.

"Go on Hiccu', Knock 'em dead!" Came the voice of Gobber as the gates opened.

Once I was in the arena I placed the helmet on my head and went to get my weapon and shield, before the dragon came out I glanced once more to the treetops, still hoping for my friend to be there.

"I'm ready" I confirmed even though I knew I would never be.

The dragon barged out, covered in its flame and climbed all over, shooting at anyone in sight, then it saw me. It was hanging upside down and looking straight at me, it placed itself on the ground without looking away or even blinking. It started to advance towards me,now was my time to make up my mind.

I dropped everything that was in my hands and tried calming the dragon down, with my hands outstretched in front of me. I watched as the eyes looked at me, his pupils grew and I knew he was calm. I pulled my hand up to my head and threw my helmet to the ground.

"I'm not one of them!" I declared, I kept my eyes on the dragon but I could hear everyone gasp and start to whisper.

"Stop the fight!" Ordered my Dad from above.

"No I have to show you!" I replied still trying to keep the Nightmare calmed, "They're not what they think they are!"

"I SAID STOP THE FIGHT!" He roared while smashing his hammer against one of the bars, it let out a ringing sound and made the Nightmare start attacking. It spat its fire at me as I ran around the place, in the background I could hear Astrid shout at me, the next thing I knew she had joined me in the arena.

Gale-Breaker's POV:

Me and Night had just got back to the Cove from a flight, we had retrieved my helmet, I had it on and was making sure it still fit, that was until Night started trying to climb out of the Cove.

'Brother? BROTHER, STOP!' I ran over to him and started to try and calm him down, he was constantly scratching at the wall, trying to get a hold of a ledge. I managed to calm him down and waited a minute before I asked what was wrong.

'Hiccup! He's in trouble, we've got to help him, Gale!' He panted, his ears were constantly twitching, he could obviously hear something, can't argue with that. I hopped on his back and prepared the tailfin, once he knew it was ready he shot straight up into the sky and made his way to the village.

When we got there no one seemed to notice us, we stopped and watched for a while, Hiccup was in the ring being chased by a Nightmare as it shot its liquid like flame everywhere. I noticed the Chief at the gate, he was trying to get Hiccup out of there. I thought Hiccup was in the clear but the Nightmare had other plans, it pinned him down underneath his giant claws and brought his head back, Night got a blast ready to shoot through the bars to get in but there was people in the way, he was going to hurt them, I thought of many ways to get them to move out of the way but only one seemed actually do able, so I did.

I let out the best Night Fury call I had ever done just as Night started to run forward, the people moved out of the way, clearing space as the looked round so see what the noise was. Night jumped and blasted our entry to the arena, he landed on top of the Nightmare pulling him off of Hiccup with a roll, which meant I was flung off of his back and onto the ground.

I got up and avoided being squashed by the two dragons as they battled it out, I trudged over to Hiccup and helped him up to his feet. The dust from Night's blast was finally starting to clear and the Villagers were starting to gasp at the scene that had been happening under the dust, I crouched down and extended a leg behind me, giving the impression I was also, a dragon, it was a trick I learnt from the injured dragons back home, the ones without tails sometimes extend their back legs to give the impression they do, with my helmet on I looked even more like one.

"NIGHT FURIES!" The statement that was being shouted from all different directions, I smiled under my helmet but it was short lived, Night had beaten the Nightmare and had backed up, towards us. The Vikings started to pour into the Arena, they instantly went after me and Night, they pushed Hiccup away from me and tried to hold me to the ground, but I gave chase. Night was upfront fighting, I would have continued watching but I felt something wrap around my good leg, I tripped over and saw a bola that had tied my legs together, I tried to get it off but the Vikings started to push themselves on me as the restrained me.

From the distance I could hear Hiccup shout something to Night, what had he done now. Suddenly the pressure on my helmet escalated, it stopped but not after a crack was heard. The pressure on my body suddenly loosened and I took this as a chance to shake them off. I got them off me and ran to the opposite side of the ring, I dusted myself down noticed how it had suddenly got colder, that was until I noticed two black pieces of metal laying on the ground where I used to be.

"So much for that helmet, couldn't protect me at all!" I muttered, I looked over at Night to find him trapped under at least twenty Vikings, "NIGHT!"

I started to make my way over to Night, until I heard the dreaded sound. Night heard it to because he stopped struggling. I ran over to the pile of dragons and started to pry them off of my brother.

"Get OFF of him! He won't hurt you!" I screamed as I grabbed another Viking, it was now I realised I'm as bad as Night when it comes to being over protective.

One Viking approached me and pushed me to the ground, "And why would we listen to you, you're friends with this beast!"

"Because you don't want to see him when he's angry, or what would happen if I were to call on my other friends, the Red Deaths, back home." I replied, there was quite a few lies in there, 1. Night was already angry and 2. I'm not friends with any Read Deaths, they are all killers.

I could see some of the Vikings slightly loosen their grip on Night as they heard what I was saying, Night took this as I had earlier and got free from them, he instantly ran over to me and gave me a gesture that was sort of like a hug.

'You ok?!' He warbled

'You shouldn't be asking me! Did you not see how many Vikings were on top of you?!' I jokingly hurrred back, 'You heard it too, Right?!'

'The distress call, yeah, we have to go home, NOW'

'Lets take Hiccup and Astrid, they can help!'

He took it into consideration and swiped a few Vikings that were sneaking from behind with his tail, 'Fine, but I am not carrying both of them!'

'On it!'

I ran over to Hiccup and Astrid who were conveniently standing next to each other, "GUYS! We need your help!"

"With what!?" Asked the concerned Hiccup.

"I'll explain on the way go get on Night, Astrid come with me!" She nodded her response and followed as I lead her around the rim of the ring, we ended up at the Deadly Nadders cage. I opened the gate and brought out the dragon, I told Astrid to get on, she was a bit scared at first but she ended up getting on.

I looked over to see Hiccup ready and mounted in his saddle, there were shouts of 'TRAITORS' in the background but they didn't seem to care that much.

"Get in the air, I'll meet you there!" I told Astrid, She gave me a thumbs up and urged the Nadder up, Hiccup and Night quickly followed. I walked around the ring, all eyes were on me, for once in my life I was surrounded by my own kind, but I hated it.

"THE DRAGONS COME IN PEACE, IF YOU WERE TO SEE IT FROM THE DRAGONS POINT OF VIEW, YOU WOULD SEE WHY THEY HAVE TO RAID YOU!" I looked around the rim of the arena, "FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, DON'T COME LOOKING!" With that I ran out of the gate and down to the edge of the cliff, I jumped off the edge and pulled the tail-fins out from the sides of my feet and flapped my arms with every bit of energy I had, once I had my glide set I flew easily up to Astrid, Hiccup and Night.

We gracefully glided away from the island, who knows if they will do what I said, either way, they have been warned!

Hehe, Serious Gale! :D I forgot to get the chapters ready to upload so in the last one I forgot to do this...
