How You Doing Insane Gang!
I am planning on writing some more Trollhunters fics in the future and I hope you guys would give them the support. The fandom is underappreciated and is one of Dreamworks best tv shows other than RTTE.
SPLOIER ALERT one-shot takes place during RTTE season 4 episode Midnight Scrum.
They made it just in time to rescue Hiccup. All of them were exhausted, going on a wild goose chase will do that to you. Stoick would not have rested until he knew his son was safe. Astrid raced to her boyfriend's side.
"Hiccup...your leg." She gasped.
"I'm okay, just a little bruised is all."
Astrid helped him up wrapping an arm around his waist and placing her other hand on his chest. Hiccup had his arm wrapped around her shoulders to keep him steady. She kissed his cheek for good measure.
The others were still up in the air ready to retire back at the Edge. Stoick was planning on staying overnight at the Edge since it was already late evening.
"Let's get this show on road guys, I am tired." Snotlout bellowed.
"We're all tired Snotlout, besides we aren't that far from the base," Fishlegs told him.
What everyone failed to notice is Ryker regaining consciousness. He quietly drew a dagger from his thigh, holding it by the blade. Ryker smirked as eyed the pair hobbling onto Stormfly. Sadly he was knocked back into darkness after he released the knife.
The dagger was a fair size and it looked like it wasn't really made for throwing, Ryker was aiming for the back of his head luckily though his aim went lower than attended. The blade sunk into the middle of Hiccup's back all the way up to the hilt.
Hiccup let out a strangled cry falling to his knees, bringing Astrid with him.
"Hiccup!" They all shouted simultaneously.
The dragons made a barrier around their fallen friend. Stoick landed the closest to inspect the wound. Blood trickled down his armor and tunic, the flow increasing every second.
Hiccup was bent over on all fours, breathing heavily as pain shot up his spine every time he moved.
"Quick we have to get him back to the Edge!" Heather declared.
"Right, Fishlegs, twins, and Heather go ahead to be ready with the supplies when we get there," Stoick ordered.
They nodded and sped off quickly.
"Astrid, keep him focused on you while me and Snotlout try to stop the blood flow," Stoick added. He unsheathed his own dagger in his belt to cut Hiccup's tunic and leather vest up to the wound.
Astrid held his head, running her fingers along his jaw and neck.
"Hiccup, hey...hey, just look at me okay?" Hiccup let out a pained groan and locked his green eyes on her face. "I must be in Valhalla because I'm seeing two of you."
Her face heated up as she ran a soothing hand through his hair. "I'm not sure if you were trying to be smooth or you're suffering from blood loss Haddock."
He closed his eyes when she raked a hand through his hair and gave out a weak laugh. "Maybe a little of both."
Snotlout went into Toothless's satchel knowing Hiccup always carried medical supplies in case any of them got injured in a Viggo attack.
"Ahh...I don't want to take the knife out without Fishlegs's help." Stoick sighed frustratedly.
Snotlout came back with some cloth bandages and a jug of water. "I would clean the blood off, and just bandage around the knife." He suggested.
Stoick nodded a bit surprised of the small council from Snotlout.
One of Hiccup's arms gave out while the other one shook dangerously.
"Okay, let's go, Astrid take Hiccup." Stoick hurried out.
Toothless warbled in concern when Stoick mounted him. Snotlout raced to get on Hookfang when he spotted something metal on the ground near Ryker. His eyes widened realizing it was his cousin's prosthetic leg. Once he grabbed it he felt Hookfang lift him up by the back of his shirt and tossing him high up into the sky.
"Hookfang!"
Snotlout landed on his saddle with his dragon keeping pace with the Stormfly and Toothless. Hiccup was slumped behind Astrid, his head was leaning on her left shoulder and his arms hung loosely around her waist. She kept one hand firmly on his to make sure he doesn't slide off.
The ride seemed longer than usually mostly likely because Astrid was growing impatient. Each moan from Hiccup sent a sharp ache to her own heart.
When they did make it back Fishlegs was ready to receive him in Hiccup's hut. Heather and the twins readied all the supplies Fishlegs would need.
Hiccup's vision swam, his breath was shallow as he turned even paler. Stormfly flew right up into his bed where the twins carefully eased him onto his stomach. The rest of the guys crowded in to help and watch Fishlegs work.
He grabbed his own dagger to slice the rest of his tunic and leathers off. Hiccup groaned from the movement.
"Alright, we need to get this knife out of him now," Stoick commanded Fishlegs.
"Okay, okay...Ruff, tuff hold down his sides, Chief and Snotlout grab his legs, Heather get the potion and needle ready."
Astrid kneeled down on Hiccup's right side near his head, holding his hand. Fishlegs quickly retrieved a leather strip to shove into his mouth. "Bit down on this, it's going to be painful."
Astrid brought his forehead to rest on her shoulder. Her unoccupied hand ran through his hair fervently trying to distract him.
"Are you ready Hiccup?" Fishlegs warned.
Hiccup scrunched his eyes shut, "Go, go." He garbled out due to the piece of leather, but Fishlegs must have understood him because not a second later he was prying out the knife.
Fishlegs had to be very careful the knife was awfully close to his spine and one wrong tug could make him paralyzed. "Knife Heather."
She handed him the still warm knife from the hearth. He made one incision on one side of the knife to gauge how close the knife was to hitting his spine. The point was just scratching at one of his vertebrae causing pain every time Hiccup moved.
Hiccup's muscles spasmed in his back as he tried to curl in on himself. The guys strongly held him in place much to his annoyance.
"Ugh who knew Hiccup was this strong," Stoick muttered as he some difficulty pinning his son's good leg down.
Tuffnut grunted, keeping Hiccup's left side from moving too much. "We did Chief when this is over we will tell you the story."
"Hey!" "It wasn't funny." Snotlout growled from where he sat on the floor holding the prostheticless foot in a lock under the arm.
Their bickering was cut off by the sound of Hiccup's scream. His yowl was muffled when he tried to bury himself his the hollow of Astrid's neck. He tried to push himself up with his left hand, making Fishleg's pause. The muscles in his left shoulder and bicep rippled, trying to use all of his strength.
Tuffnut reigned in his unruly arm pinning it above his head. "Easy there H, we got you."
Fishlegs used his blade to nudge Ryker's upward away from his backbone.
"Get ready with the potion Heather." Once the dagger was a safe distance away Fishlegs gave a small yank on the hilt.
Hiccup gave a loud groan and then a sigh. The sharp lingering pain was now gone to be replaced by a bearable throb.
Once the knife was gone Heather applied the potion on his wound. Hiccup let his body relax and the others who were holding him let their holds slacken.
Fishlegs let out a low whistle. Hiccup opened his eyes for the first time since lying on the bed. He could feel Astrid's heartbeat slow back down to a normal pace. She removed the leather strip from his now aching jaw and ran a hand from his jaw up into his sweat-soaked hair.
"Are you okay Hic?"
Hiccup nodded once he slowed down his panting.
Stoick padded Fishlegs on the shoulder. "Well done Fishlegs, we couldn't have done it without you."
He smiled at the praise and rinsed his bloodied hands in a bucket.
"I think we can sit you up now Hiccup," Heather told him.
"Great."
He hesitantly released his hold on Astrid's hand to push himself up to the edge of the front of his bed. He let out a light hiss which Toothless cooed at.
"I'm fine bud."
Toothless sniffed his outstretched hand and licked it.
Heather came up behind him with a bone needle and thread.
"Try not to move Hiccup, we still need to sow this shut."
Astrid took a seat next to Hiccup to lace their fingers together. Hiccup didn't seem that bothered by the needle and thread but once in a while twitch in discomfort. Astrid touched her forehead to the side of his temple to whisper something in his ear. He snorted and grinned.
Heather and Astrid both helped to wrap his torso up.
Stoick leaned down so he could meet his son's eyes. "Do I need to get Gothi to check on you?"
Hiccup shook his head. "It was a minor stab wound, don't need to worry about me." Hiccup brought Fishlegs into the conversation. "But Fishlegs why did that stab wound hurt so much?" "When Dagur stabbed me in my shoulder it didn't hurt nearly as bad as this one."
Fishlegs nodded in understanding and pointed to the scar on his shoulder. "The dagger that that Dagur used was way bigger but where he struck you was not close to any nerves, the stab wound that just happened sunk deep enough to disturb your spine."
Stoick glanced back and forth between the two looking bewildered. "When did you get stabbed by Dagur?"
"I-"
"He wouldn't have that scar if he didn't get in my way." Astrid interrupted him.
Hiccup took a chance to wrap an arm around her waist. "Ha, and to have you take that dagger instead, no way."
Stoick stood up to hide his small knowing smile.
"Come on everyone we need to make sure Hiccup gets some proper rest."
Fishlegs nodded in agreement. "Make sure you either sleep on your side or your stomach Hiccup so you don't pull the stitching."
Hiccup gave him a two-fingered salute. "Got it."
The others walked out telling Hiccup to feel better in the morning. The only one that was left was Astrid.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
He gave her an easy smile. "Absolutely, I'm just drained."
She kissed his temple and moved to stand up. "Sleep well, I'm right next door if you need me."
Hiccup kept his fingers laced with hers. "Nah, just stay here with me, we haven't gotten any alone time with this bounty on my head."
Astrid crossed her arms. "Only if you are actually going to fall asleep."
"Yeah, I will, now come here you."
She sighed taking off her shoulder pads and skirt.
Hiccup was on his side waiting for his girlfriend to take her place in his arms.
Astrid intertwined her legs with his while he wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"Wake me up if you have any pains okay Haddock?"
She frowned when she didn't hear an answerback. Astrid was about to call his name again until she heard a deep snore in her neck. She gave off a light laugh and an eye roll.
It would be so interesting if Hiccup gets injured in a future episode what do you guys think? Check out Trollhunters if you are interested, episodes get way better as the season progresses so don't be alarmed if it starts slow.
