The next few days passed by in the blink of an eye. I had finished the inner workings of the hilt of my sword, using what metals I can. Hiccup had been acing his training, and become more popular, making it harder to go see Toothless. He still manages it, but the final day of training is tomorrow, meaning he has to find a way to lose to Astrid. I begin thinking to myself how I am going to explain my story to Astrid later tonight, and what I might be able to do in the arena. After some planning, and some moral support from Gobber, which was basically none, I had a plan set. I decided to head off to the cove to see how Valkyrie was doing. After reaching the cove, I call out to her. As she comes over, an idea comes to my mind. After some failed attempts, I finally get the result. I found a way to transform Valkyrie into a human form.
"How does this feel?" I ask her.
"It may take some getting used to." She replies, amazed at what I can do.
"You only need this form when being a dragon is not practical for where we are." I reassure. I then sense Astrid approaching. I motion for Valkyrie to hide, and I soon follow suit. Once Hiccup and Astrid go on their flight, I get out into the open and wait. It takes an hour or two before they return, but the look on Astrid's face was worth it.
"Whatcha up to Astrid. Evening trainee Hiccup." I say, smiling. Astrid's jaw is touching the ground. "You know, I am never going to let you forget this moment Astrid." I say, motioning for Valkyrie to come out. "Astrid, meet Valkyrie. Valkyrie, meet Astrid." I quote Hiccup.
"Well, this was unexpected, Vex." Hiccup says casually. "But I guess it was bound to happen eventually."
"You knew?" Astrid asks the both of us
"Yep." Both Hiccup and I say simultaneously.
"Mind you, I know about the basic events that will happen in the next 5 odd years too." I say. "It's a perk of being a time and dimensional traveller."
"That's impossible." Astrid denies.
"The stunt I pulled in the arena should be impossible too, but it happened." I counter. Astrid remains speechless. "So, anyone willing to join me in telling off the entire village during the final exam?" I ask.
"I'm in." Hiccup says eagerly.
"I don't have a choice do I?" Astrid asks.
"Nope." I say cheerfully. "Don't worry; I have powers to basically freeze their actions in place, which I may as well do as soon as everyone arrives." I say.
"You have been planning this without me, haven't you Vex?" Hiccup asks.
"Yeah, you can never be too careful." I say. Our banter goes on for another hour before we decide to head back home. I go with Astrid to give an excuse for her being out late before I myself go to sleep.
The next day, I am over excited for our little stunt. Once Everyone has gathered around, I yell to them all
"WELCOME TO DRAGON TRAINING! TODAY, NONE OF YOU WILL BE MOVING AN INCH WHILE YOU WATCH WHAT HICCUP CAN DO!" I begin. "AND TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MOVE, I AM CURRENTLY HOLDING YOU IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION! I WILL EXPLAIN HOW I CAN DO THIS AFTER WE FINISH HERE! THANK YOU FOR NOT COMPLAINING, NOT THAT YOU CAN ANYWAY!" I finish. I then use the force to open the cage holding the Nightmare. Unlike the movie, Hiccup is able to tame the dragon, proving that they are not mindless killers. Before releasing my hold on the Vikings, I call out to Valkyrie, who was using her human form to blend in with the rest of the Vikings. "I would like to show you my dragon, which will shock all of you, but hopefully, it will further prove Hiccup's point." I begin, and Valkyrie, once in the ring, changes to her dragon form. "This is Valkyrie; I found her body by some bushes, dead. She was only a baby, so I gave her life. She and I have formed a bond over the span of my appearance on this island. Think how much more efficient work could be with dragons helping." I negotiate, "Hiccup, who is usually bullied and beaten for being smaller than a Viking, yet he even taught me how to bond with my dragon. If you had actually listened to him, and maybe learned a few things from him, you would have a better way in life." I finish, releasing my hold on the Vikings, only for them to come and try to attack us. "Plan B it is Hiccup." I say. He then calls out for Toothless. I take out my lightsaber, annoyed that I may have to kill some people. "GET TO FUCKING CLOSE AND YOU WILL DIE!" I scream at them, causing at least one third of the Vikings to back off. Before I know it, Gobber joins us in defending the dragons. Valkyrie blasts at some of them, being careful not to kill any.
"We can't do this all day Vex!" Gobber calls to me.
"I KNOW!" I shout back. "DUCK!" I call to Hiccup, Astrid, Gobber and Valkyrie. Time slows as I pull in the energies of the island, and unleash it in a devastating repulse, but not enough to disintegrate them. Before they can get back up, Toothless blasts a hole through the roof and enters the fray. "ENOUGH!" I scream. "THIS FIGHT IS POINTLESS! ANYONE WHO ATTACKS US FROM HERE ON WILL NOT BE ALIVE TO SEE THE SUNSET!" This causes all except Stoick to stop.
"You have thrown your lot in with the beasts…" Before Stoick can continue, I take a force hold of his throat, while mentally telling Hiccup that I won't kill him.
"I have had enough of your stubborn views on dragons, Stoick, there are many ways this can go. One, I release you, and you learn to co-exist with dragons, or you continue to attack, capture our dragons, and set of a chain of events that will cost your son his leg, just to prove this point." I say "Which will it be Stoick?" I ask.
"He is not my son." He replies, although I can see that he is trying to do the best for his village.
"Then do what you must." I say, releasing him, motioning to Valkyrie that we have to leave. "I am sorry Hiccup, but in normal continuity, you must kill the Queen to prove your point, and now I cannot interfere. I wish you good luck. Come and find me when it is over." I say, flying off with Valkyrie. Not to be seen for a few weeks. But not necessarily the other way around.
