MORTAL18 - Yes and no, it's hard to explain. It'll make sense when it happens. Just know it'll be happening soon.
A battered ship came to the docks of Berk with its' occupants not so happy. Gobber approached the ship as the people were coming out. Once Stoick was off the boat, Gobber went up to him.
"Well, I trust you found the nest at least?" Gobber asked with a hopeful voice.
"Not even close," Stoick said, frustrated at their failure.
"Ah. Excellent." Gobber said sarcastically as he followed Stoick and picked up a basket.
"I hope you had a little more success than me," Stoick begged him.
"Well, if by success, you mean that your parenting troubles are over with, then...yes," Gobber replied with a smile.
Before Stoick could ask what he meant by that, some of the villagers who stayed behind walked by him congratulating him.
"Congratulations, Stoick! Everyone is so relieved."
"Out with the old and in with the new, right?!"
"No one will miss those old nuisances!"
"The village is throwing a party to celebrate!"
Hearing that, Stoick paled and turned to Gobber "They're gone?"
"Yeah... most afternoons. But who can blame him? I mean the life of a celebrity's very rough. The two of them can barely walk through the village without being swarmed by his new fans." Gobber told him as he walked ahead of Stoick.
"Hiccup?" Stoick asked, shocked by what he was hearing.
"Who would've thought, eh?" Gobber stated. "He has this way with the beasts."
Not far from Berk, Hiccup, and Elsa were riding Toothless and Luna for their test drive.
"Okay, we're gonna take this nice and slow." Hiccup said before he looked at his cheat sheet which was clipped onto his saddle. "Here we go. Here we go...position three, no, four."
The teens and dragons flew downwards and then through the sea stacks with perfect maneuvers.
"Yes, it worked!" Hiccup said excitedly.
"Alright!" Elsa yelled as Luna was doing most of the flying for her.
They started to slowly fly and made it up to sea stacks where they tried to maneuver.
Suddenly Hiccup flew Toothless into one of the sea stacks, "Sorry!" Hiccup shouted and it once again happened, "That's my fault." He apologized.
Annoyed, Toothless hit him with one of his ear plates.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm on it." Hiccup told him
"That's just sad. You have a cheat sheet in front of you, what else do you need?" Elsa called out as she and Luna flew by her brother's side.
"Hey! I'd like to see you try controlling half of the dragon's tail fin!" Hiccup dared before checking his cheat sheet "Position four, uh, three."
Then he and Toothless flew upwards followed by Luna and Elsa.
"Woo-hoo! This is so cool!" Elsa shouted with amazement, never feeling something so incredible.
"Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my..." Before Hiccup could finish his sentence, the wind blew the cheat sheet out of the clip of the saddle, making it fly above Hiccup. "CHEAT SHEET! STOP!"
He tried to catch the cheat sheet, and when he did catch it, his harness got unhooked from the saddle causing Hiccup and Toothless to fall.
"HICCUP! TOOTHLESS!" Elsa yelled before she and Luna dived down to try and save them "Hang on, guys, we're coming!"
As they were falling, Hiccup tried desperately to get back on the saddle. "Alright! You gotta angle yourself! Okay, no, no, no... come back down towards me! Come back down- YOW!" He yelled as Toothless accidentally hit him with his tail fin.
"Faster, Luna! Faster!" Elsa cried, hoping to get to the boys in time.
Luckily Hiccup just managed to reattach himself back to the saddle, with his cheat sheet in his mouth. Elsa and Hiccup then pulled their dragons out right at the last minute and into oncoming sea stacks.
Hiccup tried to look at the cheat sheet, but the wind was making him impossible to see it. Then sudden instinct he threw the cheat sheet away and let his instincts take over.
Both he and his sister guided their dragons through the sea stacks without bumping into each other.
After they made it out of the sea stacks, it took a few minutes for the kids to realize what happened before they raised their hands in triumph.
"ALRIGHT!" Hiccup and Elsa shouted.
Luna and Toothless decided to add to the celebration by firing one plasma blast each, exploding in the distance.
"Ah, come on!" Hiccup said as he and his sister flew into the fire.
A while later, Hiccup and Elsa sat on an island with their dragon, their clothes burnt. Elsa's looking a little better as she was able to use her powers to clean hers off. Hiccup would've allowed her to do the same to his, but he knew she was immune to the cold, and he wasn't.
Toothless and Luna were happily eating their fish. The dragons regurgitated one fish each to offer to their riders while their fishes were cooking.
"It's fine, Luna," Elsa said to her dragon.
"Uh... no thanks. I'm good." Hiccup said, showing Toothless the fish he cooked.
"Well, overall, I'd say we had a good first official flight," Elsa said, looking on the bright side.
"Yeah, if you ignore the near-death part." Hiccup said sarcastically.
Elsa rolled her eyes and took a bite of her fish and started to enjoy the quiet.
Suddenly a group of Terrible Terrors came by, attracted to the fish. As they came closer, Toothless and Luna gave a warning growl, protectively keeping their fishes away from the Terrors.
This didn't stop the Terrible Terrors though as one of them grabbed the fish that Toothless regurgitated for Hiccup. Another Terror came and tried to snatch it away causing the two Terrors to start fighting.
Toothless and Luna looked annoyed at the sight until one of the fish caught Toothless' eye. It started to move on its then took the fish and ate it, revealing another Terrible Terror had tried to take it.
Upset about losing the fish, the dragon was getting ready to fire at Toothless. But just as it opened its mouth, Toothless fired a plasma blast at its mouth, causing the dragon the fall down, then stumble away defeated.
"Not so fireproof on the inside, are you?" Elsa noted for their notes.
Hiccup tossed one of his fish towards the Terrible Terror. "Here you go."
The dragon ate it up instantly and then went to lie down next to Hiccup. Hiccup then started to pet the little guy and noticed how calm and sweet they are when they treat them right.
"Everything we know about you guys is wrong." Hiccup realized
"I just wish we could do something about it," Elsa said looking at her brother as she shot some snow, allowing the dragons to start playing in it.
"Like what? Tell dad?" Hiccup said sarcastically turning to his sister and noticing the look Elsa was giving not him. "Oh, no, you are not thinking what I'm thinking."
"What? Maybe it won't be so bad," Elsa tried to defend herself. "If we just explain it to him-"
"When does dad ever listen? To us of all people? He never does." Hiccup reminded her. "The only time he does listen is when we have to apologies about something we've done."
"Then what do you suppose we do huh? What is going to happen if you are chosen tomorrow to kill the dragon?" Elsa asked her brother.
Hiccup's head then shoots up realizing what his sister just said. If he's chosen, then he may have to kill one. Then an idea popped into his head.
"We could run away..." Hiccup said as Elsa then looked at him in shock.
"Umm, what did you just say?" Elsa asked, wanting to be clear she heard him correctly.
"Elsa, think about it," Hiccup said turning to his sister, "If we ran away, we could finally be free. We won't have to worry about keeping Toothless and Luna a secret anymore."
"Okay, Hiccup, we need to think this through," Elsa said, trying to talk some sense into her brother, "you're talking about running away from our home. Our family. Friends."
"What friends?" Hiccup reminded her. "What family? Dad's disappointed in us half the time. This home we have despised us until we became people were not. You're forced to hide your gift; I'm forced to be a fighter."
Elsa started to see his reasoning and saw maybe leaving Berk wouldn't be the worst idea. "Okay, before we decide on anything, how about we just wait until tomorrow and see if you get picked. It is only down to you and Astrid, try and let her win."
"If I can..." Hiccup mumbled.
The two just stayed silent for a while after that conversation. Elsa then sighed and put her hand on Luna, hearing her purr and enjoying the cold coming off from her.
"Wanna head back?" Elsa asked her brother, who was watching Toothless eat his fish.
"Sure." Hiccup supposed.
The two got back on their dragons and headed back to Berk, hoping they could come up with an idea by tomorrow.
