Hello! Please enjoy and please review!

And thank you Rogue Deity Master. You are awesome! :) Thanks for all the help! :)

Hiccup's POV

I closed the door and me and Ironclad walked out of the Healer's hut.

"Where are you staying tonight?" I asked. I hadn't though of it till just now.

"Ummmm" Ironclad said rubbing the back of his neck.

"You can stay in the tower with us" I said.

"Ok, thanks.." Ironclad said.

"Don't mention it" I said

"Can Black Ice can stay with the other dragons too?" he asked

"Of course!" I said "Where is he by the way..."

Right then there was a shout and a couple screams from the center of town. Me and Ironclad exchanged a look and sprinted to where the commotion was coming from.

We reached the center of town and I saw Black Ice, surrounded by Vikings.

"What is Odin's name is going on here!" I yelled.

"I caught a dragon!" I heard a small voice say. I then saw the small viking run out in front of Black Ice.

I groaned "Gustav, what are you doing?"

"I caught him!" he said proudly.

I laughed and so did Ironclad. Black Ice, in seeing Ironclad walked over to his rider.

"Gustav, this is Ironclad's dragon...sorry" I said shrugging.

"Awww man!" Gustav said kicking the ground.

"Hiccup!" I heard a booming voice.

"Ohh great" I said turning around to see Stoick and Gobber.

"What is this?" he said.

"Ummm Ironclad, a little help here?" I said.

"He is my dragon Stoick" Ironclad said walking up to us with Black Ice behind him.

"Your dragon?" Stoick said.

"Yes, his name is Black Ice and he is a Star Chaser dragon" Ironclad said.

"A star chaser, eh?" Gobber said "I thought they were a myth"

"Well they aren't" Ironclad said dryly.

Stoick and Ironclad were having a staring contest of sorts.

There was a lot of tension in the air.

"Umm...oh? I think I hear someone calling us Ironclad. Let's go" I said tugging his arm away from the tense situation.

"That was..." I said with a sigh.

"Yeah" Ironclad said. We walked to the watchtower in silence.

*THE NEXT DAY*

3rd Person POV

The Berk Riders were sitting around eating breakfast in the Hall.

"You know, Hiccup might be back in the running to become chief again." Fishlegs said.

"What are you talking about! He left and is probably going to leave again" Snotlout said.

"But the fact you have a dragon isn't making you all that popular now. At least it looks like Hiccup has gained some serious leadership skills" Fishlegs said.

"Whatever, we all know Stoick is going to choose me" Snotlout said puffing out his chest.

"And me and Meatlug will be far, far away when that happens" Fishlegs said.

"Why?" Snotlout said.

"Because you will probably figure out a way to brun all of Berk to the ground 5 seconds after you become chief." Fishlegs said.

"That...That is not going to happen!" Snotlout said.

"Yeah it's going to be awesome if Snotlout becomes chief!" Tuff said.

"Thank you" Snotlout said.

"I mean the amount of destruction!" Ruff said.

"It will be a beautiful sight" Tuff said wiping away a fake tear.

"Shut up!" Snotlout said "Hiccup is so not going to be chief, he's to...Hiccup!"

"Yeah, the guy that tamed a NIGHTFURY is too weak to be chief" Fishlegs said sarcastically.

"Whatever" Snotlout said "I could beat Hiccup anytime I wanted"

"Then why not challenge him then?" Ruff said.

"Maybe I will!" Snotlout said.

"Challenge who?" Hiccup said, walking up to the group of Viking teens.

"Hiccup!" Snotlout said standing up "I challenge you to a duel!"

"Ummm why?" Hiccup said.

"Ohh is the little dragon trainer too scared?" Snotlout taunted.

"I am not scared" Hiccup said "I am wondering why."

"Snotlout wants to prove he is stronger than you." Ruff said.

"And they years of physical and mental torment hasn't? Hiccup said sarcastically.

"Yeah but that was before you left and got all awesome" Tuff said.

"Come on Hiccup!" Snotlout said "I challenged you and you have to accept!"

"Fine Snotlout, I will duel you" Hiccup said.

"Good! Today at high noon in the Dragon Killing arena" Snotlout said.

"Fine" Hiccup said shrugging and walked off.

Hiccup's POV

What on earth possessed Snotlout to challenge me like that! I knew I could beat him, Ari had been training me for months and months, and she was the best swordsmen I knew.

I groaned and decided to visit Astrid, maybe she could offer some advice.

I entered the hut and to the back room where Astrid was recovering.

I opened the door slowly and saw she was awake. I smiled and entered the small room.

"Hiccup!" Astrid said.

"Hey Astrid" I said walking over and sitting on the chair next to her.

"It has been so boring here! Can you maybe ask Ironclad to come back and tell me more of his stories?" Astrid said.

I laughed "Maybe, I'll ask."

"So how is everything?" Astrid said "You look like you have a lot on your mind"

"Its...Snotlout. He challenged me to a duel today" I said.

"That! That son of a half troll! Help me up and I will kick him half across the island!" Astrid said, trying to get up. I held her down and she glared at me.

"Astrid, first off you need to rest. Second its not that big of a deal. I know I can beat him" I said.

"What are you talking about?" Astrid said.

"You saw my skills on the island. Ari trianed me herslef and she is one of the best I have ever seen" I said.

"Oh right!" Astrid said "Yes! You can put that little troll in his place!"

I laughed "Should I?"

"What?!" Astrid said "Snotlout hasn't had a good butt kicking in a while."

"I don't know" Hiccup said "I mean should I really do that to him?"

"Hiccup" Astrid said placing her hand to my cheek.

"Just remember when you are fighting him how he would hit on me and you will be fine" Astrid joked.

I laughed "Ok, I guess thats enough motivation."

"Good! Now I NEED to see this fight, so can you help me up?" Astrid said.

"Ohh no! You are not getting up." I said.

"Come on!" Astrid whined.

"I'll ask the Healer if it is ok." I said standing up and Astrid cheered.

I walked out and saw the Healer.

"Yes, Hiccup?" she said.

"How is Astrid... like when can she leave?" I asked.

"She should be fine to leave now, but I don't want her doing anything to exhausting and still getting plenty of rest." she said.

"Really?" I said.

"Yes, most of her wounds are healed and she has been getting plenty of rest here the past couple days. She is free to leave if she is capable and is she pleases"

"Thank you!" I said running back to the small room.

"The Healer said you could go!" I said.

"Really?!" Astrid said.

"Yes!" I said.

"Then help me up!" Astrid said. I helped her up and Astrid hooked her arm in mine to steady herself. I walked slowly and we left the hut.

Ari's POV

I was looking around for Hiccup. My injuries were mostly healed and I felt a lot better. Klint never left my side and was worried sick about me. Maybe it was time I had that talk with him.

I was so into my own thoughts I bumped into someone.

"Hey!" I said looking up and seeing Stoick.

"Oh! Heyy Stoick...sorry" I said.

"Its alright" Stoick said "You are Ari right?"

"Yes sir" I said nodding.

"I was looking for Hiccup. Do you know where he is?" he said.

"Uhh no. I was looking for him too" I said.

"I heard Snotlout challenged him to a duel. I wanted to see if he was going through with it" Stoick said.

"What!" I yelled.

"Snotlout challenged Hiccup. They are supposed to battle in the arena at noon today" he said.

"Oh Thor..." I said "This...is... amazing!"

"What?!" Stoick said.

"Hiccup is going to hand Snotlout's butt to him! Oh Thor almighty! I can't wait to see that!" I said.

"Hiccup?" Stoick said.

"This may come as a shock to you, but Hiccup is REALLY good with his two swords now" I said smirking.

"Really?" Stocik said, still shocked.

"Didn't you see his swords on his back? He has been training with them for quiet some time now" I said.

"Is he that good?" Stoick said.

"He is one of the best in the archipelago now." I said, adding 'Thanks to me' in my own head.

"He has fought dragons, Outcasts, Romans, and I heard he even beat Astrid." I said.

"Astrid!?" Stoick said.

"Yeah, Astrid wanted to see his skills so they fought and I heard he won without breaking a sweat" I said.

"So if you will excuse me, I have to go grab my seat for the big event. Not even Odin could keep me from missing this" I said, walking away.
