First of the chapters to be updated, slightly shorter than before but hopefully and little more well written.

Chapter 2: Warm Welcome

There was a bright flash and then he was falling. The cold wind stung Nico's face as it whipped past him. He clenched his mouth shut as the ground appeared below him. As he braced himself for the impact he saw something else. A boy with some sort of contraption was underneath him. Nico tried to yell something at him but it was drowned out as a screeching noise shot through the air.

Someone shouted something just as a nearby structure exploded in blue flames. Nico watched as something not visible to his eyes swept past him. He tried to spot it as the screeching appeared again but he'd forgotten the fact he was falling from the sky and next thing he knew was a sharp pain through his entire body as he landed on something relatively soft. With a groan Nico rolled off the object and saw what he'd landed on. His eyes widened as the boy clutched his ribs and muttered something. Nico's heart raced as he recognised who he was.

"H-hiccup?" He asked shocked.
Hiccup looked at him confused.
"How do you know my name and where in the name of Thor did you come from?" He asked.
"Um long story...best left to uh a better time." Nico told him, as he stood up something else blew up in blue flames.

"Wait a minute if Hiccup's here then that means he's about to shoot down Toothless...but he was meant to shoot him down the second time he destroyed a building...and he's just destroyed the second building but Hiccup's on the ground...oh god..." Nico thought as he realised what he'd done.

"Crap!" He shouted at himself as he saw the silhouette of the Night Fury appear then disappear.
"What's wrong?!" Hiccup asked.
"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! This wasn't supposed to happen!"

He saw Hiccup getting back to his feet and then a thought occurred to him.

"Doesn't something else happen?...Wait when he shoots down Toothless...a nightmare..." He raced to the cliff edge and took a quick glance over.
"Excuse me would you please tell me wh-" Hiccup started as he walked towards Nico.
"Shit!" Nico turned and grabbed Hiccup just as a Monstrous Nightmare appeared over the cliff, roaring as it saw the two humans running from it and raced after them.
"Run!" Nico shouted at Hiccup as he saw the Nightmare closing in on them. The poor Viking had no idea what was going on.

"I'll try to explain to him later." Nico thought. "But now we need to survive."
He saw the post that Hiccup hid behind in the movie.
"Dammit I'm setting everything off track!"

He shoved Hiccup behind the post and pointed at him.
"Stay here." He told him.
"What are you doing?" Hiccup asked.
"This isn't the time!" Nico told him.

Nico turned and saw the Nightmare getting closer. He looked around to see if Stoick had arrived yet. He hadn't.

"I need to buy us some time." Nico thought as he looked around for some sort of weapon. He couldn't see anything resembling an actual weapon so he grabbed an empty bucket, "Hey ugly come and get me!" He yelled at the dragon. It turned slowly as its body burst into flames.

"Oh damn." Nico yelled as he dived to the side, narrowly dodging a stream of fire. He picked himself up and looked back at the Nightmare who had spotted Hiccup and was creeping up on him. Hiccup of course was completely oblivious to this. Nico saw Stoick running to him at the far end of the square but Nico knew he wouldn't make it. Without really knowing what he was doing, he ran at Hiccup who had finally realised that a dragon was standing next to him and froze, terror freezing his body as he watched the Nightmare open its mouth to roast him.

"God Dammit Hiccup move!" Nico shouted as he ran at him but Hiccup didn't hear him.

So there it was, Hiccup was about to be killed and the whole movie was off track because of me...I had to set things right, knowing this gave me a sudden burst of energy. I tackled Hiccup just as the Nightmare spewed fire at him. It was an extremely close call. I felt pain shooting up my left leg. I turned and saw the giant red burn on my leg. The Nightmare turned to finish us off but by then Stoick had arrived and punched it before it could do anything. It tried to spew more fire at him but all it managed was a small flame before it went out.

"Yer all out." Stoick said as the Nightmare gave him a sheepish look. He started punching the Nightmare repeatedly until it finally decided it was time to retreat and it flew off.

Stoick turned to Hiccup who looked at the ground as his dad started shouting at him.
"Hiccup what did I tell you? Stay indoors! Is that too much to ask?! Stoick shouted.
"Dad I'm sorry bu-" Hiccup started.
"I don't care if you're sorry Hiccup just for once why can't you listen to me? Tonight was a perfect example that I'm not always gonna be able to protect you Hiccup, and you're very lucky that this lad saved you from that Nightmare." Stoick shouted at Hiccup before he turned to Nico. "Now who are you?" He asked Nico.
"Um I'm Nico..." Nico casually waved from his position on the ground.
"Nico what kind of name is that?"
"My name." Nico replied.
"Dad that's what I'm trying to tell you he just came out of nowhere." Hiccup eventually said.

Everyone went silent as Hiccup started talking and gesturing to me. Eventually Stoick came over to me and kneeled next to my injured leg.

"Looks quite bad laddie but don't worry we'll get it patched up." He looked at me. "Now tell me how did you get to Berk?"
Nico swallowed. "Well as stupid as it sounds I'm not from here...I'm from...ugh...another world...more precisely another universe." Nico told them.
"Huh?" Stoick asked clearly confused.
Nico sighed. "I'm not from here that's all I really know. Sorry I'm not entirely sure of the situation myself."
Stoick started to laugh at this. "Do you have proof?"
"Yes." Nico replied as he pulled out his iPod, which had somehow not been damaged by the lightning, and showed it to Stoick.
"By Thor what is that?!" He asked as he jumped back and pulled out his hammer.
"Relax it's an iPod." Nico told him but Stoick still looked confused. "Ok never mind." Nico told him as he put it away.
Stoick thought for a moment. "Hiccup! take him to the house and get him somewhere to stay then go get the healer." He told his son.
"Yes dad." Hiccup replied enthusiastically.
"Good now take care of yourself lad." Stoick told Nico as he turned and walked off.
"This way." Hiccup told him as they headed up to the house.

After a few minutes of awkward silence Nico tried to strike up a conversation.

"So...er Hiccup I'm sorry about me falling on you earlier."
"Eh it's fine it's my fault for just standing around and screwing things up as usual." Hiccup told him.
"Actually Hiccup I'm the one who screwed things up big time." Nico spoke without thinking.
Hiccup turned to look at him. "How?"
Nico's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to make an excuse but was cut off by someone else.

"Hey look it's the screw up." Someone called as someone else giggled.
Hiccup sighed. "Oh great."
Nico took comfort in the temporary distraction, "Just ignore him."
"Easier said than done," Hiccup mumbled as his brute of a cousin approached them, arrogant as always.
"Hey saw you take on that Nightmare earlier, pretty cool." Snotlout held out his hand, "Snotlout, you should've seen me I took on two at the docks." He smirked, "I got a few burns but I made sure that they got it worse, you know what I mean." His attempt at impressing Nico was failing miserably.

"That's...impressive. I'm Nico." He returned the handshake and made to continue their way to Hiccup's.
"Hey wait!" He stood in front of the two, blocking their way, "You seem pretty cool. Why not come hang out with us cool kids for a bit instead of...him." He nodded at Hiccup as if he was some infectious disease.
"Well that really is nice of you but I kinda got a big burn from that dragon so I'll just be going now..." Nico lightly pushed him out the way. Closer to the house they heard the twins mocking Snotlout's rejection.

Finally they arrived at the chief's house, why did it have to be on top of a hill?, and Hiccup helped Nico up the flight of stairs into his room
"Well here it is." Hiccup said as he opened the door for Nico. "You'll be staying here, in my bed." Hiccup told him as he led Nico up the stairs.
"Where'll you be sleeping?" Nico asked as he observed Hiccup's room.
"Um the floor."
"What! No you take the bed."Nico told Hiccup.
"No seriously it's the least I can do to repay you for saving my life back there." Hiccup replied. "Now...er make yourself comfortable and I'll go get the healer."
Nico nodded, unsure if he should tell Hiccup about what should have happened or not.
"Better wait, I'm still a stranger so they might all just think I'm crazy."
He listened until he was sure Hiccup had left the house before collapsing on the bed and letting out a deep sigh.
"Man I screwed up big time. What am I supposed to do?" A thought suddenly occurred to him, "What in the name of hell am I doing here?!" With all the action he had completely overlooked the fact that he was now in a movie...a cartoon movie...how in God's name did that happen?
"Oh man..." He muttered, "I am in so much trouble."
"Even the beds here are tough. This will not be fun."
As he waited for Hiccup to return with the healer, he slowly started to piece together a plan, spotchy at best but it could work, maybe.

So yeah decided to go back and look over all my old stuff, I have concluded that there is a lot I need to fix in this story so I'm hopefully improve and tweak the story a bit (Seriously what was I thinking making Lyna fall in love immediately with Nico? Yandere much?) Anyway it has been over a year since an update and I'm not gonna promise anything except I will try to redo all the chapters by the end of the week, and I may dig through my files to find the dust covered Chapter 17 that is lurking around somewhere. No idea when I'll update again but I've got a resolution to finish this story by next year so hopefully this is the start of a comeback...hopefully...

Anyway thanks for reviews and that despite inactivity and I may post updates on any progress I have made on future chapters in the A/N of the redone chapters.
