"Is That the Best You Got"

Hiccup and Snotlout readied their weapons. Both teens stood their ground and were tensed.

Snotlout glared at Hiccup and gritted his teeth. He was waiting for this moment where he could prove to everyone once and for all that he was better. No, to prove he was the best! He gripped his hammer so tight that his knuckles were getting white. Nobody made fun of Snotlout Jorgenson! He was going to defeat Hiccup even if it meant he was going to destroy him.

Hiccup, on the other hand, had a calm look on his face. He was planning in using only one sword and he was going to use his right hand. It wasn't that he was underestimating his cousin, quite the opposite actually. He was going to use this opportunity to test his new arm.

Astrid stepped between the guys and sighed. "I guess there's no stopping you guys, right?"

Snotlout smirked at her. "Don't worry babe, this won't take long" he boasted.

Astrid ignored him and looked at Hiccup with a raised brow. Hiccup responded with a shrug and a grin. Astrid sighed again, sometimes she just didn't know what was running through Hiccup's thick skull. "Just don't kill each other, ok?" she told him

"No promises" Snotlout said, ignoring the fact that Astrid was talking to Hiccup.

Astrid stepped back and stood beside Ruffnut, who was still ogling at Fishlegs. Astrid noticed this and elbowed her. Ruffnut looked at Astrid curiously.

"What?" Ruffnut asked.

Astrid shook her head with a smile "Geez… and here I thought it was just a simple crush"

Ruffnut blushed crimson and looked away "It IS a crush. I don't know what you're talking about" she mumbled.

Astrid looked at Fishlegs and, sure enough, he was trembling. He was probably scared by the upcoming fight between Hiccup and Snotface.

Astrid then looked at Tuffnut and could see that he was clearly down. It wasn't that Astrid hated him, it was just that he used to bully Hiccup and she just didn't had it in her to care about him.

"Hey Useless" that caught everyone's attention. "Why not make this interesting?" he asked with a grin

Hiccup raised a brow "How do we do that?"

Snotlout looked at Astrid "Winner gets Astrid. How about that?" he crossed his arms and looked like he had won the battle already.

Astrid was furious. How dare that muscle-for-brains thought of her as a prize! She was going to march towards him and give him a piece of her mind when Hiccup suddenly spoke.

"Pass…" he simply said

Snotlout's mouth hung open. He didn't expect that kind of answer from him. He thought Hiccup would take the bait and charge at him with rage but instead, he just stood there and looked calmly at him. What was wrong with him?

"But… I thought you like Astrid?" Snotlout asked

"So? It doesn't mean that she's a prize to be won. In fact, if I were you I would probably be careful what comes out of my mouth because I think you just angered her."

Snotlout's eyes widened and he slowly looked at where the others were standing. When he saw her, she gave him the most sadistic smile she could muster without looking murderous.

"Yeah Snotface, you should probably be careful" Astrid said slowly as she cracked her knuckles.

Snotlout was sweating and laughed nervously "Co-come on babe… I mean, I-I was just, you know, joking… he he he"

"Hey Snot!"

"Wh-what?" he looked at Hiccup confusingly

"Shall we get started?" Hiccup made his stance by stepping his left foot forward

Snotlout glared at Hiccup and readied his hammer "Huh… eager to get pummeled, are you?"

Hiccup just shrugged and dashed forward. Snotlout didn't even have the chance to raise his weapon because Hiccup was already right on his face. Hiccup stepped to the left and elbowed Snotlout to the ribs, forcing the bigger teen to stagger and catch his breath.

"One…"

Hiccup stepped forward again and clashed his sword with Snotlout's hammer. Needless to say, if the hammer wasn't there, Snotlout would have been decapitated. Hiccup pushed Snotlout forward and backed away before he could recover.

"Two…"

Snotlout released a battle cry and ran towards Hiccup with his hammer raised. When he was infront of Hiccup he slammed it down and narrowly missed Hiccup. Hiccup used this opportunity to get behind Snotlout and push him down. Hiccup backed away again before Snotlout could stand up.

"Three… Four…"

Ruffnut looked at Astrid curiously… Why was she mumbling numbers anyway? Before she could ask, Astrid mumbled a few more numbers

"Five… Six… Seven… Eight…"

Attack after attack, Hiccup delivered it to Snotlout. The latter didn't even had a chance to make his move. Hiccup was relentless. In fact, it was as if he knew exactly what to do to stop him from attacking. Snotlout had enough. When Hiccup delivered another strike, Snotlout parried it and, using his strength, pushed Hiccup back and forced him on the ground. He swung his hammer down, intent on breaking Hiccup's arm, when he heard a loud clang. He looked down and noticed that Hiccup blocked his attack.

All the teens there, sans Astrid, looked at the scene with shocked expressions. Hiccup blocked Snotlout's attack just by using his left arm. It even looked like Hiccup was pushing it back.

"Nggg! Aaahhh!" Hiccup shouted as he pushed Snotlout back. He used the momentum to dash forward and elbowed Snotlout to the ribs and knocked him on the ground. Before Snotlout could get up again, Hiccup rested the tip of his sword on the former's neck.

"Woah…" Tuffnut whispered in awe. In all his years in seeing duels, this would probably qualify to him as one of the best. Everyone could clearly see that it was a one-sided match. Before this fight, Tuffnut wanted to challenge Hiccup to see if he stood a chance but after what he saw he thought otherwise.

"I can't believe it…" Fishlegs whispered. There was no way that Hiccup could've won. No matter how much calculations he would formulate and factors to fill in, there was just no way.

"Nine" Astrid simply said.

Ruffnut looked at her "Nine? Nine what?" she asked curiously

Astrid looked at her, sideways, and smiled "If Hiccup was serious, Snotlout would've nine times already."

Ruffnut's eyes widened. Astrid was not one to boast so what she said could probably be true. Ruffnut looked at Hiccup as he helped Snotlout up, was this the same Hiccup they bullied a few years ago or was this a whole different person entirely.

Hiccup smiled as he offered his hand to Snotlout to shake "No hard feelings?"

Snotlout took his hand begrudgingly and shook it "Yeah… whatever" he mumbled.

Hiccup turned and started walking towards Astrid.

Snotlout had other plans. There was no way he would let Hiccup get away after he humiliated him infront of everyone. He silently raised his hammer above his head.

Hiccup noticed the shadow hovering over him and saw that it was getting closer. He stepped to the left, narrowly missing the hammer and brought the blunt side of his sword to Snotlout's head and knocking him out cold.

"Whew that was close" he said as Astrid approached him and punched him on the arm. He smiled though because he was expecting that. What he didn't expect was for Astrid to grab his head and kiss him deeply.

The others just stood there and tried to absorb the scene infront of them. Hiccup and Astrid were kissing while Snotlout was under them, unconscious. Things couldn't get any worse, could they? Tuffnut asked himself

"Ruffnut! What're you doing?!" Tuffnut quickly turned his head towards Fishlegs' voice. Sure enough, his sister was forcefully trying to pull Fishleg's head down.

"Come on Legs! They're doing it, why shouldn't we?" she pouted as Fishlegs was able to pry her off.

"But-but don't we need to be a couple to do that?" Fishlegs squeaked.

"I… Don't… Care!" Ruffnut made a grab for his head but he was able to dodge and started running away. "Fishlegs! You come back here, now!" to her dismay, he wasn't "Why you!" she growled and started running after him.

Tuffnut stood there alone and watched as Hiccup tried to remove Astrid from him. Tuffnut sighed and slouched. Everyone was having fun but him.

AN: Well? Love it? Like it? Hate it with a passion? Then tell me :D
