Hiccup knows something was wrong when the dragon drag him toward Berk. And he was wrong! There is nothing wrong with Berk at least not from the distance.
But something is strange, normally wild dragon are very territorial and will attack human on sight, that is why normally nobody goes into the park.
They have been walking for sometimes when the Terror squeak at the black dragon, then the black dragon release Hiccup as a respond to it and head butted him as if telling him to continue moving forward.
"Okay okay!" Hiccup said, his fear had long disappeared once he found out these dragon has no desire to maim him.
Savior the Terrible Terror, a great name given by Hiccup when it miraculously stopped the bigger dragon from biting his head off, he feels that it is a name suitable for its action.
As they travel to Berk, a rundown building soon came into their sight. Barbed wire fence surround the building with a soon to be collapse guard tower at one corner of the fence. It looks like an abandoned military facility.
Hiccup had somehow missed this place when he first goes into the forest.
A gate connected to the fence was left open it seem people did not bother to close the gate; they must have left in a hurry.
Savior sniffs the air, and purr. Hiccup was surprise by it; he is clearly not used to dragon purring like a cat especially they're suppose to be vicious creature.
Hiccup decides to name the black dragon Toothless for its lack of teeth and because Fangless is not a name Hiccup like. Hiccup was surprise to find out that Toothless can retract its teeth at will.
Toothless cautiously walked toward the building, it scan the surrounding for any danger before continue forward.
Toothless look into the door's window and sniff for a few times when he found nothing he bumps into a metal door. The door did not budge, the dragon tried again with much more force this time also with no success. They begun to scratch and breathe fire onto the door trying to break it down.
"I guess you guys need help?" Hiccup asked, catching the attention of both dragons. Savior squeak at Toothless, and they seem to understand Hiccup's intention as they give room for Hiccup.
Hiccup walks toward the door, put his hand onto the handle and that is where he feels the intense heat.
"Ouch! Hot hot hot!" He forgot they had just finish breathing third degree burn worth of fire onto the door and Toothless seem to be laughing at his idiocy
"Yea yea laugh it out will you." Hiccup said to the dragon.
Hiccup wraps his hand with clothing and opens the door for dragons.
Savior burst into the building, stir up ton of dust, a few sneeze of fire was had, and fortunately nothing was caught on fire. Hiccup came in later also sneezing and coughing, his hand held some kind of light emitting device.
'This place smells faintly like her.' Toothless remarked 'This human's smell blends in perfectly as if their smell is exactly the same.' Toothless sniff the air and then at Hiccup as if comparing their smell.
'Male human female human, same smell same smell' Savior purred in poor dragonese likes many other Terrors. 'Same smell good human, good human help night, me bring help night.'
Toothless is used to Terror expressing themselves poorly and sometimes their speech can be annoying and confusing but if one get to know them well enough they can be a good helper.
'Have this satisfied your curiosity about the smell?' Toothless barked at Savior.
'Curiosity yes satisfied yes!' Savior happily purred back. While their interest was sate Hiccup continues to explore.
This place is pack with cobweb and dust, the dragon are sniffing everywhere with dust in the air, ignoring the presence of Hiccup.
Hiccup saw a poster but he could barely make out a word on it. He direct his phone's flashlight at the poster only to find it cover with dust.
He removes a layer of dust from the poster and found a picture of Deadly Nadder staring back at him with the following word:
"Welcome to Dragon Park Ranger Station Beta. The world second largest Dragon Park" Hiccup read the word out loud. Toothless snorted as if respond to his word.
Dragon rangers, another history of Berk, their job were to watch over the dragon ensuring that no one harm dragon or hurt by dragon in the park. The Berk's Dragon Park used to be a popular tourist spot especially among Eastern visitor, but all that went to hell in 'no-one-gonna-tell-him-what-happened' incident, that particular incident warrant the shutdown of Dragon Park business and almost destroy the economy of Berk.
Hiccup opens up a decaying cupboard and found a stash of book within, people must have left this place without one last spring cleaning.
He places them onto a table now this is getting interesting.
"Imperial Dragon of China, Hitler's Attempt to Control Dragon, Legend of Bewilderbeast, Scientist's Argument Vol. 05: Dragon Break Physic." He shifts through each the book, reading their title out loud until one particular book caught his attention. "Dragon Classification: Global Edition."
Hiccup opens the book revealing the content inside of it.
Chapter 1: Class Dragon of China
Chapter 2: Class Dragon of Lazio
Chapter 3: Class Dragon of Barbaric Archipelago
…
He turns to the next page and begins to read out the content when his hand phone rang.
The phone promptly alarms the dragons and they turn their head toward where the sound originates from. Toothless growl at Hiccup showing him his plentiful of sharp teeth, the ringtone must have offended Toothless.
"I'll shut it up alright, jeez" Hiccup said, he looks at the caller's ID: Stoick who is the current mayor of Berk, who is also known as Hiccup's father.
He presses the button nervously to accept the call.
"Hello?" Hiccup said softly "HELLO!? IS THIS THE ONLY THING YE CAN SAY AFTER YE DIDN'T COME HOME BY 10PM!?" The voice was so loud and so full of authority that both dragons were startle by it.
"Sorry, Dad. I am still alive right? You don't have to worry." Hiccup said
"Hiccup, tomorrow school finally begins and where are ye at?"
"Ah, yes, I was, err… getting my…" schoolbag, Hiccup forgot he have to get his bag before the school start.
"God I still have to get my schoolbag! See you later Dad!" Hiccup hastily ends the call.
"Hiccup wait I ha-" The call ended.
Hiccup rush out of the building into the forest once again leaving two stunned dragon in it. It is getting pretty late, but Toothless as a night creature stay awake, while Savior quickly fell asleep. Toothless cannot relax yet, he still has no idea where the hunter's at yet.
The call just ended, his son manages to evade him again.
"He ended the call before I can finish." Stoick sighed.
"Told you." Gobber said, "You shouldn't be talking like that to your son." He drank his beer.
"But I was worry!" Stoick sighed once again.
"Why don't you leave a note explaining that you're going to the city for a few days? It's not like you will be gone forever."
"Knowing him, he will be too busy to notice that I'm gone."
"Don't say that, you know he love you as a father."
"Still I don't have the time to write a note, I think he know how to take care of himself." Stoick said "I have to go now or I'll miss my ride."
Hiccup arrive at where Savior left his bag, he grab his bag and then scan the content within quickly before left for his home right away, if he get home any later his father would be so angry that even a bear will run away for fear of getting its skull bashed in.
A few miles away, groups of hunter are closing in to the place where Night Fury was.
"No sign of Night Fury anywhere." A hunter said.
"Keep searching!" Their leader ordered they did not come here to let the Night Fury escape.
"Sir, a new heat signature has been detected it radiate much less heat than the Night Fury and is now moving toward Berk." Their radio operator announced "That something could be a human."
"Alv- I mean Leader!" A young hunter reported to his leader "We found the needle bullet."
"Where's the Night Fury?"
"Nowhere I'm afraid."
"What?"
"Worst case scenario, Sir" The radio operator said "Berk could have found the Night Fury."
After some time thinking, their leader feel it is for the best to leave for now, lingering any longer could get them exposed.
"We're going back." Their leader announced with a scowl he is clearly not in a good mood today.
"Temporary." He added
Hiccup arrives at his double storey house, there is no light coming from his house.
"Is dad asleep?" Hiccup wondered.
He tried the backdoor, it is unlocked. He opens it slowly and peeks inside his house but he did not see his father, he sighs and began his tedious journey to bed. It was a long night.
He can only sleep for a few hours at least, and then he must get up and get ready to leave for school.
"Welcome to Berk Highschool!" Gobber the Belch bellowed to the students who are sitting at their designate school desk.
"Yes! Finally we can burn down our house!" Tuffnut said excitingly.
"What do you mean by burning down 'our' house?" Ruffnut said trying to agitate her twin brother.
"If you don't like it why don't you move out of my house?" Tuff head butted Ruff soon they are in a brawl.
Beside the Twin there are also Hiccup's brawny cousin Snotloud, bookworm Fishleg and finally tough and beautiful Astrid.
Hiccup can only admire their group from distance, since everybody believe he brought disaster wherever he go.
"It seems everyone's here! Let's get start then." Gobber said stopping the fight between Tuff and Ruff.
"Wait only 5 of us?" Snotloud asked.
"I'm here, remember?" Hiccup commented half-heartedly.
"Oh great, when did 'he' come to school?" Tuffnut said mockingly.
"I said: let's get start then, today we have our first lesson." Gobber said, ignoring their mockery. "We're going to learn everything about dragon 'round here, which is important, since they are our lovely neighbor."
"Straight to the point, do we have a chance to bash their head?" Ruff asked.
"No, not directly at least." Gobber answered, and then he continues his lecture. "Now open up your Dragon Manual and turn to page 5." Hiccup did so and was greeted with the image and name of five dragons.
"Wait a minute, I thought we're going to do some live action exercise… you know… the dangerous stuff that I sign up for." Tuff interrupted the class.
"Not before winter come." Gobber rolled his eyes then carry on his lesson.
Tuff let out a long howl of despair.
"In our region, we've several common species of dragon living in the Dragon Park" Gobber with his ability to ignore the most annoying person in the universe continues with his lecture "Namely the Gronckle, the Hideous Zippleback, the Deadly Nadder, the Terrible Terror, and the Monstrous Nightmare." Hiccup can hear Fishleg whispering to himself about statistic for each dragon that Gobber mention.
"It is believed that Viking in Barbaric Archipelago used to fought and hunt dragon for century. So student, what is the most important thing during that period of time when Viking fought dragon?" Gobber directed his question at the students.
"A doctor?" Hiccup said.
"Plus five speed?" Fishleg replied.
"The answer is in the textbook!" Gobber announced.
"A shield." Astrid answered with confident.
"Yes, a shield, If a Viking must make a choice between a sword and a shield they always go for the shield." Gobber explained as he bring up an antique from his desk, a shield "A shield protects Viking from dragon's fire but it also has another use, by banging their weapon against the shield to create lots of noise it can disrupts a dragon's sense to throw off their aim."
"But nowadays, dragon has become increasing aggressive toward anything that make too much noise, if you were to bring a boom box into a dragon park, be prepare to be torn to shred by them." Gobber said "Now turn to the next page."
The rest of the lesson continues without Hiccup paying much attention, his hand unconsciously began to draw something in his textbook. They continue to flip through the book until a page caught his attention.
"…Night Fury. This particular dragon is so sneaky that no one has ever seen one up close before." Gobber explained. "But fortunately thanks to human's advance technology a satellite has managed to catch a glimpse of it." He brings up a photo showing a blurry black shape flying above the ocean.
"Among many dragon poachers, Night Fury is one of the most prized dragons." Gobber said. "It is also known to be one of the deadliest dragons in the whole world, because at one time a Night Fury has manage to sink a modern warship with two 'bombing' attack."
"But do you-"
At that time, the school bell rang, interrupted their lesson.
"Huh, time sure pass quick." Gobber commented. "Alright student, this is it for today have a nice evening. We'll continue tomorrow!"
Hiccup left for home long after the school emptied to avoid his cousin and twin, he feel he had seen that particular black dragon in the photo before. He was about half way home when he realize what dragon had almost bite his head off.
