Even though I have been working on this for two whole weeks I'm still not satisfied with how it turned out... I'm really sorry if you don't like it. Anyway, shout-outs:
Guest: It got quite hard for me in the last few chapters to write proper reactions. I'm going to revise this whole story once it's finished in hope to make my weaker chapters better.
Ruby: Nope, I haven't deleted any comments. I don't know what happened to your last...
Astrid Erica Lokison: Thank you 3 Hope you like this one too.
June: Thank you so much. I'm working on that. Which characters react usually depends on what happens in a scene. This one has a bit more of Stoick than the last few...
Fred: Like I already said above: I'm trying on that. I know that I have a lot of potential for improvement.
Guest: I see, most of you want to see more Stoick. So I shall give you more of Stoick, beginning with the next update. Well, at least I'll try...
Greg: Thanks.
Okay, wow. Seven reviews. Thank you all so, so much. Enjoy!
Grimmel pays a visit
(Scene cuts, inside the Haddock house at night with Hiccup alone.)
„What's going on? It's too dark to see anything." Tuffnut complained.
„There's a reason for that." I answered helpfully.
(Hiccup is searching for clues about the Hidden World in his Dad's journal and his map.)
Hiccup: Alright. Alright, come on give me a clue here. Give me a clue, Dad.
(While Hiccup looks through the notes, footsteps are heard from above the house and dust falls from the ceiling. Hiccup packs his map and the book away. He looks around his house and suddenly a floorboard creak is heard followed by a silhouette of Grimmel. Grimmel pours water into a mug.)
„You can litterally hear the water pour when only listening to the soundtrack!" I told Tamina, who nodded to me.
Grimmel: I hope you don't mind if I help myself. This is, uh... really quite good.
„Grimmel!" Stoick onced again hissed. „Get away from there and leave Berk alone!"
(Hiccup lights up Inferno.)
Grimmel: Oh, that is impressive. But let me finish my drink.
(Grimmel shoots a dart from his bow which hits the sleeping Toothless under bed covers.)
Hiccup: Toothless!
(Hiccup runs towards Toothless. Grimmel finishes his drink and looks proud of himself. He then loads another dart into his bow.)
Hiccup: What did you do to him?
Grimmel: Nothing that he won't sleep off. (Sits on Stoick's chair) Ahh. Ha ha. May I? Chief Hiccup, hmm? Do I say Chief Hic-cup (makes hiccuping sound) or do I say Chief Hiccup? What do you prefer?
The twins and Snotlout snickered. „Why haven't we thought of this before?" Snotlout asked them, still grinning. Tamina and me and of course Hiccup just scowled.
(Hiccup slowly walks closer, with a stern look on his face.)
Grimmel: You have no idea who I am, do you? Uh- ha ha. Well, your father knew of me. Now, there was a chief. One of the greatest dragon hunters to have ever lived! What would he think of you? Ha ha. He did it right, you know. Making it his mission to destroy those beasts so that you could grow up in a better world.
Hiccup: He changed his mind.
„But it took him almost losing his only son." Tamina pointed out.
„What?" the two Haddocks asked in confusion.
Tamina smiled. „I might explain later..." she trailed off.
Grimmel: And look where that got him.
(Hiccup looks caught off guard after that comment.)
Grimmel: So, let's get to the point. I am the Night Fury killer. I've hunted every last one but yours. You are going to give me that dragon. Or I will-
Hiccup: I will never give him up!
(Grimmel stands up and pushes Hiccup's Inferno out of his way, laughing. He starts walking towards Toothless.)
Grimmel: You wish dragons to live free among us like equals? A toxic notion, my boy. History has shown that we are the superior species. What if word of your misguided ideas were to spread? It would be the undoing of civilisation as we... know it. Hmm.
„What's he seen?" Ruffnut piped in.
„Straw." I pointed out the obvious.
(Grimmel notices straw sticking out of Toothless' tail, so then he kicks it slightly. This causes Fishlegs to wake up as he was hiding under the covers.)
Fishlegs: Did we get him?
„What?" Everyone asked in confusion.
Looks like they had taken the bait.
(Fishlegs faints and falls back to sleep. Hiccup uses his Inferno to throw Grimmel's bow away.)
Hiccup: Now!
(The Dragon Riders reveal themselves from their covers.)
Gobber: Sorry to barge in!
Hiccup: You think you can come into my home? Sit in my father's chair? And threaten my dragon? This is Berk. And we have defended our way of life from far worse than you.
„Every time he mentions Stoick in whatever way his voice cracks." I pointed out silently to noone in particular.
Grimmel: Oh. Ha ha. A fighting spirit, I love it! Only, I'm afraid you're mistaken. You've never seen anything like me!
(Grimmel whistles, calling his Deathgrippers to attack the riders. One of Grimmel's Deathgrippers attacks from the roof which causes Astrid, who was hiding on a wooden beam, to jump down to the floor of the house.)
„What. Are. Those?" Snotlout asked, emphasizing every single word.
Astrid: Ah!
Hiccup: Astrid, look out!
(The Deathgripper gets ready to strike with its tail but misses Astrid who is sitting on the floor. Astrid runs to the others. Grimmel whistles again, making another Deathgripper attack the riders.)
Valka: Look out! Son, get clear!
(Astrid runs, just missing the Deathgripper's acid.)
Astrid: Ugh!
Gobber: Run!
(Gobber runs out of the house, carrying Fishlegs)
Valka: Ah!
(Valka and Hiccup are still in the house. Valka uses her shield to block the Deathgripper's acid)
Grimmel: Have my dragon ready when I return, or I will destroy everything you love!
(Valka and Hiccup escape Hiccup's burning house but then see a view of all of Berk in flames.)
„Who is this guy, setting our homes on fire?" I heard a voice from in front of me.
„May I introduce you to Grimmel, the greatest threat Night Furies ever faced." I replied darkly.
I blame this chapter being weak on my writer's block that prevented me from writing properly for over a week. Please leave your opinion on this chapter in the reviews. Until the next chapter. Have a good week.
