Sorry for the wait but my school is starting again and my mind is wandering so i've been trying to hold back some of the chapters for you won't be having to get up my necks for when I post... I'll try to post around Saturdays, or Fridays so here it is! The latest time i'll post is probably Sundays but it probably will happen time and time again.
I'm hoping that i'm not just dragging this on and on...but I realized not as many reviewers on my last chapter. So i'm sorry if this is losing your interests. But please R/R

Once every dragon and every Viking except for Snotlout was out Hiccup walked over to the lever to open the Gronckles cage. "You ready?" Asked Hiccup. Snotlout nodded and watched the doors intently.
"This is going to be good." Whispered Claw to the others. Hiccup pulled the lever and outburst a brown Gronckle. "This is Meatlug. See if you can train her." Said Hiccup putting his cheek back onto his palm and watching as Snotlout ran at Meatlug. She sent a lava rock right at him. Snotlout was thrown backwards and into a pile of baskets.
"Snotlout are you okay!" Laughed Ruffnut looking into the arena. Snotlout grunted but didn't reply. "Okay…well Snotlout your out… Flame, Claw will you two please take him out of the arena and Dawn please put Meatlug back into her cage for the time being?" Asked Hiccup and as the kids did that he looked behind him and saw three vikings who had walked up behind them while they were paying attention to Snotlout's failure.
"Hello Hiccup." Said Gobber as he, Stoick, and Spitlout walked up to him. "Greetings, it's a beautiful day to see a boy fail at Dragon training isn't it." Said Claw while he and Flame tugged Snotlout out of the arena. "Claw there's no need for that." Said Hiccup not taking his eyes off of the three vikings. Spitelout looked at him and then turned his attention to his son. "What happened to Snotlout?!" Yelled Spitelout running over to his son. "He didn't listen to the directions that were given to him. So instead of training he was fighting." Said Hiccup looking bored. "Well apparently the Gronckle is not his type." Said Dawn after she walked out. Rock flew over to her and nudged her playfully she smiled and scratched Rock under the chin and hugged him around his thick skinned neck.
"Okay well you guys came just in time to see the others and their training." Said Fawn as she gave Hiccup a look that said 'Lets hurry this up!'. Hiccup nodded and said "Twins you're up next. Remember the Zippleback has two heads pick one and you should be fine. And please don't pick the same head…I don't want to explain to your parents what happened to their children." The twins looked at each other before they headed out into the arena.
"Take a seat hopefully they listened to Flame." Said Hiccup as he turned back to the arena and got ready to pull the lever to the Zippleback's cage. "You all ready?" Called Hiccup looking at the twins. They looked at him and held up their thumbs to show they were ready. Hiccup pulled the lever and called down to them. "The head that produces gas is Barf and the head that ignites it is Belch. Try to train them."
Once the green Zippleback flew out it spotted the twins and raced towards them. Hiccup could tell be Stoick's and Gobber's body motions that they wanted to jump down there and help the twins.
Hiccup looked at the twins movement and smiled when he saw how they held up their hands and looked away from the dragon. "Good…good."Muttered Hiccup. He thought that for once the twins would do this right. The dragon stopped and smelled their out stretched hands and then both heads pressed it's snouts to their exposed palms. The twins looked at their dragons and started to pet them. Then that's when things went south. Ruffnut tripped over Tuffnut's foot while trying to scratch Barfs neck and they fell into a squirming blob on the ground. Ruffnut taking the trip as an attack pounced on Tuffnut letting out a warrior cry. The dragons screeched as they thought that they were being attacked.
Barf started to smoke the arena and Hiccup saw the danger in that. He jumped down into the arena and landed on the ground some way away from the group. "Hiccup!" Yelled Fawn watching as Hiccup ran towards the dragons and stopped in front of them holding out both hands waiting for a response.
Belch and Barf stopped moving completely and pushed their snouts into Hiccup's outstretched hands. "Okay Twins you didn't fail but you sure didn't win ether." Said Hiccup leading the dragons back into their cage.
Once he and the twins were back out of the arena Stoick said "Is this really a good idea to train these dragons…I mean the twins could have died Snotlout looks like he died and Fishlegs looks like he is about to hyperventilate." Hiccup looked over at Fishlegs and seeing that he was breathing in and out bouncing on his feet and muttering "Find my happy place." over and over again made him sigh and say. "Fishlegs your next and to make sure that you don't die I'll come in with you." Fishlegs squeaked as he walked into the arena Hiccup's small frame falling behind in his shadows.
"Okay Fawn I want you to pull the lever and Fishlegs when I say 'go' you need to hold out your hand and turn your head. Don't look the Nightmare in the eye and if something goes wrong I'll be right here…don't be afraid that only leads up to bad movments… And the dragon's name is Hookfang." Said Hiccup standing beside Fishlegs. Hiccup looked up at Fawn and nodded. She pulled the lever and Hookfang the red Nightmare shot out leaving a trail of lava/fire in his wake.
Hookfang climbed the arena's roof and landed in front of the two vikings. "Go." Whispered Hiccup to Fishlegs while he slowly walked away from him. Fishlegs held up a shaking hand and looked away from the Nightmare. Hookfang watched him and with a mischievous smile jumped above him landing where Fishlegs was looking. Fishlegs's eyes where shut tight he was waiting for ether a snout to touch his hands or jaws full of sharp teeth to clamp onto his outstretched hand.
"Oh no." Whispered Hiccup and the two words echoed around the arena. Fishlegs peeked his eyes open to see what was happening. When Hookfang's eyes met his Hookfang leaped on him and pinned him down and Fishlegs let out a terrified shriek. "Hookfang No!" Yelled Hiccup stomping over to him and pointing a accusing finger at him. The said dragon looked down and growled as if ashamed of his own actions. "Good boy now leave poor Fishlegs alone. Go on. Shoo. Go back to your cage." Hiccup motioned to the dragon to go and Hookfang flew back to his cage.
"Fishlegs I told you not to be afraid." Said Hiccup as they walked out of the arena. "Sorry." Said Fishlegs shaking like a falling leaf. Hiccup sighed and said "I think you might do better on a Gronckle really." Hiccup looked over at the now awake but shaky Snotlout.
"Okay now one last person. Astrid right now the twins are in the lead but I believe you will be able to actually train a dragon easily." Said Hiccup. "Wait…no. No more vikings are going to go into there and try to train dragons." Said Stoick starting to worry for the teens safety, but Astrid was already in the arena. "Okay Astrid your dragon in a Nadder. Her name is Stormfly. I'm really hoping you listened to Fawn." Said Hiccup now starting to worry himself but not letting it show. "I did." Called Astrid standing up straight waiting for him to pull the lever. Hiccup walked over to the lever and pulled it and a blue and yellow Nadder burst out of the cage.
Astrid stood there and held out her hand watching as Stormfly landed right in front of her and sniffed her hand. The dragon then pushed her snout into Astrids hand and Astrid walked towards her tail keeping her hand on Stormfly's body. "Good girl…you're a really good girl." Muttered Astrid as she gently pushed the spikes on Stormfly's tail down. The group in the stands held completely still as Astrid and Stormfly bonded. Once Stormfly knelt down and looked at Astrid, Hiccup said quietly. "Astrid she wants you to get on."
"What!" Yelled Stoick.
"Shhh... you don't want to scare Stormfly." Said Hiccup watching as Astrid carefully climbed onto the Nadder's back. Stormfly walked around a bit then knelt back down to let Astrid off. Astrid slid off and landed on the floor beside her dragon. "Good Astrid now Stormfly will be yours that means feeding her, caring for her, and being there for her will be your responsibility. And taking care of you, and being there for you when you're in need will be hers."
