A/N: Hey, everyone! MiraculousDragonMaster here! I'm back with more of my version of HTTYD! Now, this story will be finished by next week for sure! Then, onto my Christmas special.
Before we get to that, I would like to thank you all because my story has 101 reviews! I can't believe it! When that happened, I was practically hopping with joy! Thanks, guys!
Reminder to everyone, there's a poll on my profile concerning my question on what to do next after my version of "Gift of the Night Fury". So, you can leave your answers there.
Well, now that I got that out of my system, it's onto Chapter 25! Unbelievable! Roll it!
Chapter 25
A Hero's Welcome
Toothless was still waiting by Hiccup's side the following morning. Ragnar and Juno had wanted to stay up with him the previous night, but because of them barely able to stay awake, he had gently nudged both of them up towards the stairs, telling them in his own way to get some sleep. They didn't dare argue, for the Night Fury was just as protective of the other two like with his rider.
Toothless growled worriedly at the sleeping boy. The sound made Hiccup finally flutter his eyes open as he blinked wearily. Toothless happily purred as he started nudging and licking his rider's face.
"Hey, Toothless." He whispered. "I'm glad to see you too, bud."
Toothless then accidently pressed down hard on his chest, making him sit abruptly, wincing in pain. "OHH! What-?" Hiccup then began taking in his surroundings. "Uh, I-I'm in my house."
He then turned to Toothless, who had starting bouncing around like a cat. "Uh, you're in my house. Does my dad know you're here?"
Toothless then began climbing onto a main structural beam of the house. "Toothless, no." Hiccup said. "Toothless. Toothless! Oh, come on!"
Hiccup started to climb out of bed, but paused when he got the feeling that something was different. He lifted up his blanket and stared at what he found in shock.
Toothless jumped down as Hiccup placed his right leg and new prosthetic left leg; from a little below the knee down. He sniffed it and looked at his rider, who was taking a couple of deep breaths to grasp this new development.
There was soon the sound of people coming down the stairs. "Toothless, what's with all the commotion?" Ragnar asked, stretching his arms up.
"I hope not all dragons are early birds." Juno pouted, rubbing her eyes.
They froze on the last step; their fatigue vanished immediately as they saw Hiccup sitting on the edge of his bed. "Hey, guys." He said with a little wave.
Ragnar and Juno rushed towards Hiccup and enveloped him in a huge, tight group hug. "You're okay." Juno whispered.
"Don't scare us like that again, brother." Ragnar teased lightly, filled with relief.
Hiccup returned the hug just as tight. "Well, I'm making no promises." He teased back.
The Misfit Trio released each other so that Hiccup could shakily stand up, him looking down at his leg. "It was pretty bad." Ragnar said, gesturing to his new prosthetic. "It had to come off. I'm grateful that Gothi didn't make me learn how to do that yet."
"Gothi knows about your dream now?" Hiccup asked.
Ragnar nodded. "She even said that when he's older, she could make him her apprentice." Juno beamed proudly, making Ragnar blush bright red and nervously rub the back of his head.
Hiccup lightly punched his adoptive brother on his shoulder. "I knew you could do it." He said.
He then took a deep breath and began to take a step forward, but he still wasn't used to his new weight balance because of his new leg. He was about to fall face-first on the floor, but Toothless helped him back up.
"Thanks, bud." Hiccup said, as he began walking towards the door, slightly leaning on Toothless for support. He opened it, but closed it immediately when a Monstrous Nightmare roared outside.
"Toothless, stay here." Hiccup said to him, then turned over to Ragnar and Juno standing beside him. "I think you two have a lot of explaining to do." He said as he opened the door again.
The Nightmare was revealed to be Snotlout's own Nightmare. "You guys ready? Hold on tight, here we go!" He cheered, leading two other Vikings onboard dragons.
Hiccup looked around in amazement. Vikings and dragons were in close range of each other and they were not violent or hateful towards the other. They seemed to be working together, repairing the houses and boats at a much quicker pace.
"I knew it." Hiccup said in disbelief. "I'm dead."
Ragnar and Juno just giggled at his reaction and another joined in their chuckling. "No, but you gave it your best shot." Stoick said, placing his hand on his son's shoulder. "So, what do you think?"
"Look, it's Hiccup!" Someone cried out. Every Viking began cheering and forming a crowd around the village hero.
"Turns out all we needed was a little more of…. this." Stoick said, waving his hand towards his son.
"You just gestured to all of me." Hiccup said.
"Well, most of you." Gobber came in, coming up to him. "That bit's my handiwork." He said, pointing down to Hiccup's prosthetic.
"With a little Hiccup flair thrown into it. You think it will do?"
"I think I might make a few tweaks." Hiccup said, looking at his prosthetic leg while some Vikings chortled.
Hiccup then yelped in pain as Astrid came up to him and punched his shoulder. "That's for scaring me." She said.
"Wh-what?!" Hiccup complained. "Come on , is it always gonna be this way, 'cause-" Astrid cut him off by bringing herself closer from grabbing the front of his tunic and placing a gentle kiss on his lips.
When she pulled away, Hiccup was dazed. "-I could get used to it." He finished teasingly, making Astrid smile shyly.
"Also, there's been a development concerning your two BFFs." She said, giving the two of them in question a teasing smirk, making them blush scarlet red.
"No, there's not!" Juno retorted.
Hiccup then grinned mischievously. "Oh, I am gonna get a lot out of this one."
"Don't you dare!" Ragnar snarled. The Vikings all chuckled at this interaction between the friends.
Gobber then handed Hiccup a new saddle and a red tailfin. "Welcome home."
There was then a sudden loud bang. "Night Fury!" Someone yelled.
"Get down!" Another shouted, as Toothless playfully hopped on top of Vikings over to Hiccup, making him and his friends laugh.
Soon, Hiccup had the new saddle and tailfin strapped on Toothless. There was also a contraption on his side to hook Hiccup's prosthetic which controls the movement of the tailfin.
He looked over towards his friends, who were beside him on either side onboard their dragons. "You ready?" He asked Toothless.
Toothless grunted in agreement with a toothy smile as Hiccup looked out at his new world, seeing both dragons and Vikings living together in peace; something once thought to be impossible.
This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three.
Hiccup and Toothless then flew off, with the other three and their dragons following behind them.
Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that live here are even more so.
As the newly appointed Dragon Riders zoomed through the village, they surprised some people for a bit, but a smile then grew on their faces seeing them so happy.
The only upsides are the pets.
Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the twins then joined into their formation.
While other places have ponies or parrots, we have…. dragons.
The Misfit Trio then flew up higher into the sky, whooping and cheering with their dragons joining them in their newfound happiness.
After that joyous flight throughout the reformed village of Berk, the Misfit Trio were in the new stable beside their house. "I could definitely get used to this." Hiccup said as he stroked Toothless's head.
"New leg and all?" Ragnar asked teasingly, rubbing Fossil's jaw.
"New leg and all." Hiccup replied.
Juno then stood from her spot where she was leaning back against Coccinelle. "Well, Hiccup's "Hero's Welcome" feast will starting soon. We should get going."
"You guys should be considered heroes with me." Hiccup said, balancing himself as he got up. "After all, you helped me."
"Yeah, but you needed this kind of recognition more than we did." Ragnar replied, making Fossil drowsy with his magic touch.
"You two have earned your recognition." Juno said, looking through a paper in her hand, leaving her sleeping Grapple Grounder. "I haven't yet."
"What do you have there?" Hiccup asked, taking the paper gently.
"Just a little something I wrote in honor of your Hero's Welcome." Juno replied shyly.
Hiccup read the piece, a smile threatening to split his face in two. "Juno, this is an awesome song! Check it out, Rag!"
Ragnar quickly read the song and grinned as well. "Yeah! This is amazing, Valkyrie!" He said, making Juno blush bright pink.
"You have to sing this at the feast tonight!" Hiccup exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" Juno panicked, her blush vanishing in an instant. Her cry made the drowsy dragons perk up immediately.
"And we'll help you." Ragnar added in.
"Guys, I can't." Juno said.
"Why not?" Ragnar asked. "It's a celebration! Of course there will be music."
Juno was about to say something to try and make an argument, but Hiccup cut her off. "We already got our recognition. It's your turn now." He said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Juno looked over at Ragnar, who nodded. She turned to their dragons, who had gave her purrs of encouragement. She then gave them all a determined smile.
"Okay." She said. "I'll do it." The boys beamed at her and shared a fist-bump with her.
Later that night, everyone was gathered in the Great Hall for the feast. For the first time in years, the Misfit Trio sat with Stoick instead of by themselves. Juno was fidgeting around with her satchel, and the gentle pats from her best friends were the only things that could calm her down a bit.
After food was on everyone's plates, Hiccup whispered something into his father's ear. He nodded, and Hiccup and Ragnar led Juno over to the podium. She then pulled out her lute, while Ragnar took her satchel from her.
Everyone stared at the Solheim girl as she stood on the podium, holding her lute close to her chest. "Good evening." Juno spoke up nervously. "Well, this is something I wrote in honor of this momentous occasion. This is the first time I have performed in front of anyone, so please be nice." She said, getting more confidence as she did.
Then, she started to sing while playing her lute. Her beautiful voice rang throughout the Great Hall. Soon, everyone was starting to move in tune with the song, making Juno smile, gaining more confidence.
When the song ended, everyone began cheering and clapping loudly for her. Juno couldn't stop beaming with pride at the sight in front of her.
"Looks like we have an official singer for celebrations from now on!" Gobber complimented with a proud grin at his students.
Juno just smiled brightly as Hiccup and Ragnar came up onto the podium, wrapping her in a proud hug. Then, they looked out towards the cheering crowd. Things were really turning around for all of them.
