Hey everyone, chipsandfish2 here with another chapter.

I apologize for the wait. So without further ado, let's get right into the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the movies this story is based on.

Chapter 5: HTTYD Scene 4

[Scene cuts to on top the watch tower at night]

Gobber: ...And with one twist, he took my hand, and swallowed it whole. And I saw the look on his face: I was delicious. He must have passed the word, because it wasn't a month before another one of them took my leg.

Jacob winced. He's seen countless crewmates lose limbs, get eaten, torn apart, etc. Maisie took his hand to try and comfort him.

Fishlegs: Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like if your mind was still in control of it, you could have killed the dragon from the inside by... crushing his heart, or something.

The main characters eyes widened. Fishlegs looked down in shame, still not believing that he said that.

Snotlout: I swear, I'm so angry right now! I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot. I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight. With my face!

Gobber: Un-unh. It's the wings and the tails you really want. If it can't fly, it can't get away. A downed dragon is a dead dragon.

Everyone gasped, remembering Toothless' missing tail fin. Now Hiccup looked down in shame.

Astrid put her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, it's alright. You didn't mean to shoot Toothless down."

Ruby put her hand on his other shoulder. "She's right. Besides, look, he's already forgiven you. Right, Toothless?"

The night fury nuzzled against Hiccup while crooning in reassurance.

Hiccup smiled. "Thanks bud."

Gobber: Alright. I'm off to bed. You should be, too. Tomorrow we get to the big boys. Slowly but surely making our way up to the Monstrous Nightmare. But who'll win the honor of killing it?

Tuffnut: It's gonna be me. It's my destiny. See?

Fishlegs: [Gasp] Your Mom let you get a tattoo?

Tuffnut: It's not a tattoo. It's a birthmark.

Ruffnut: Okay, I've been stuck with you since birth, and that was never there before.

Tuffnut: Yes, it was. You've just never seen me from the left side until now.

Snotlout: It wasn't there yesterday. Is it a birmark or a today-mark?

Jack snorted. "That was actually pretty funny."

[After hearing what Gobber said about how a dragon is unable to fly with injured tail or wings, Hiccup heads to the forge late at night, and makes a new tail-fin for Toothless to replace the one the Night Fury lost.]

North was impressed. "Look at the detail. The amount of effort put into it. Reminds me of myself when I younger."

Xavier (who's from Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures) overheard and nodded in agreement.

[Hiccup is back at the cove, with a basket of fish and the prosthetic fin.]

Hiccup: Hey, Toothless. I brought breakfast. I hope you're hungry.

The dragons in the audience started drooling at all of the delicious fish on screen.

This prompted Ryalogia to snap his fingers and give them more fish to eat.

Hiccup: Okay, that's disgusting. Uh... we've got some salmon, some nice Icelandic cod, and a whole smoked eel.

[Suddenly, Toothless starts growling and backing up.]

"What's wrong with him?" Merida asked.

[Toothless roars in fear at the sight of the eel.]

Hiccup (cont.): No, no, no, no! It's okay. (throws the eel aside) Yeah, I don't really like eel much either.

"Wait, dragons are afraid of eels?" Eugene asked in surprise.

"Imagine that. The vikings could have easily avoided dragon raids." Fred said. "They would just have to cover everything, including the livestock, with eels."

The vikings nodded in agreement, having not figured it out until after they made peace with the dragons.

[Toothless starts to eat the fish. While he's distracted, Hiccup sneaks toward his tail.]

Hiccup (cont.): Okay. That's it. That's it, just stick with good stuff. And don't you mind me. I'll just be back here... minding my own business.

"Man, you bad at lying." Jack snorted.

Hiccup raised an eyebrow. "Bad? I'll have you know that I kept Toothless hidden from my whole village for WEEKS before people found out."

The main characters chuckled.

"He's got you there." Maui said to Jack.

[Hiccup tries to attach the new tail-fin. But Toothless kept moving his tail.]

Hiccup (cont.): It's okay. Okay... okay... There. That's not too bad. It works.

[Toothless stops eating and perks up, seemingly realizing he might be able to fly again]

Hiccup (cont): There. That's not too bad. It works.

[Hiccup doesn't notice Toothless spreading his wings.]

People started laughing again.

"Man," Tadashi said, "He has no idea what's in store for him."

His friends nodded in agreement.

[Toothless takes off with Hiccup literally on his tail. They head towards a rock wall]

Hiccup (cont.): Whoa! No! No! No!

[Hiccup quickly adjusts the tail fin and they dodge the wall]

Hiccup (cont.): OH, MY- IT'S WORKING! YES! YES, I DID IT!

[Toothless realizes Hiccup is on his tail and throws him off. Unable to steer the fin on his own, he then crashes into the lake.]

The audience winced.

Jack suddenly started feeling very tense for some reason. Almost as if it had happened before, but he shook it off for the time being.

"Hitting water at a high speed can cause serious injury or in most cases, death." Baymax pointed out.

The group was surprised and a little horrified.

"Why? It's just water." Ruffnut remarked.

This time, Honey Lemon spoke up. "Actually, when we make contact with water, it usually moves out of the way even if it were by jumping off a small cliff. However, if one were to approach the water at a high speed, there wouldn't be any time for the water to move out of the way and it instead acts as a solid surface. So basically, I would the equivalent of slamming into a brick wall."

Everyone who didn't know that was stunned. The Inevitable crew, plus Jacob and Maisie shuddered. Realising that the monsters could easily kill them by simply throwing them high in the air if they wanted to.

Hiccup: AAAAAGGGGHHHHH! Yeah!

[Scene cuts to Arena, in amiddle of another training session. The arena fills with a greenish fog, obscuring the dragon.]

Gobber: Today is about teamwork. Now, a wet dragon head can't light its fire. The Hideous Zippleback is extra tricky. One head breathes gas, the other head lights it. Your job is to know which is which.

Fishlegs: Razor sharp, serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion. Prefers ambush attack, by crushing its victims-

Hiccup: [On edge] Will you please stop that?!

Fishlegs looked down sheepishly. He thought stating Zippleback facts would help them succeed. He didn't mean to freak Hiccup out even more.

"How is that supposed to help exactly?" Eugene asked.

"Don't you know the saying, "Know thy enemy"?" Merida asked.

Snotlout: If that dragon shows either of his faces, I'm gonna- there!

[Snotlout and Tuffnut drench Astrid and Ruffnut, thinking they were the Zippleback.]

Ruffnut: Hey! It's us, idiots!

Tuffnut: Your butts are getting bigger. We thought you were a dragon.

Snotlout: Not that there's anything wrong with a dragon-esque figure- Ow!

The girls cheered, most of them taking turns to high five Astrid.

[Astrid punches Snotlout in the face, and Ruffnut throws her bucket at Tuffnut, who is then dragged into the wall of smoke.]

Astrid: Wait. [A tail knocks them off their feet]

Tuffnut: (running out of the mist, screaming) OH, I'M HURT! I AM VERY MUCH HURT!

Ruffnut chuckled at her brother's pain. Tuffnut responded by hitting her over the head, which resulted in another punching match.

Fishlegs: Chances of survival are dwindling into single-digits now. [One of the Zippleback heads emerges from the mist. Fishlegs throws water at its face, and it angrily spews out some green gas.]

Fishlegs (cont.): Oh. Wrong head.

[The head sprays a large stream of green gas, and Fishlegs runs off screaming.]

"Is the gas toxic when inhaled?" Ruby asked.

"Well, other than a serious coughing fit, I was fine afterwards. But continuously breathing in Zippleback gas can lead to severe breathing problems." Fishlegs said.

Gobber: Fishlegs!

[The head turns its attention to Hiccup and the other head comes into view, spitting electrical sparks]

Gobber: Now, Hiccup!

[Hiccup throws the bucket of water at the spark-spitting head, but misses]

Hiccup: Oh, come on!

"Yep, that just about sums up my luck." Hiccup deadpanned.

"To be fair," Mirabel said, "It did have its head raised high in the air. Maybe you needed more arm strength."

"Luisa would succeed no doubt." she thought, thinking of her sister.

[The Zippleback pounces, both heads snarling at Hiccup]

Gobber: Hiccup!

[Suddenly, Hiccup starts forcing the Hideous Zippleback back.]

The audience was stunned. One moment the dragon was about to eat the boy, the next it seemed afraid of him.

Hiccup: Back! Back! Back! BACK! Now, don't you make me tell you again! Yes, that's right! Back into your cage. Now think about what you've done.

[He opens his jacket, revealing an eel inside.]

"THAT'S how you did it?" Astrid asked/shouted.

Hiccups nods but then feels eyes on him. He turns and sees Barf and Beltch glaring at him. They were stuck in their cage with that eel for three days.

[He throws the eel inside, and the Zippleback cowers in terror. He shuts the door of the enclosure. The teens and Gobber are shocked, and Fishlegs drops his bucket.]

Hiccup (cont.): Okay! So, are we done? Because I've got some things I need to, uh... Yep. I'll... see-see you tomorrow!

[Scene cuts to at the forge, Hiccup making a saddle]

North was impressed. "The boys work is beautiful. The amount of effort and detail put into it is astounding."

"He could probably be a great assistant at the pole." Bunny chuckled.

[Scene cuts to at the cove, Hiccup presenting Toothless with the saddle.]

Hiccup: Hey!

[Toothless playfully runs away from Hiccup.]

[Hiccup rides Toothless, tugging the prosthetic tail fin with a rope to change its position. Only to fall off as a result.]

{They try again with a different adjustment, but the wind blows at them and they tumble backwards]

[Toothless crashes into a field of Dragon Nip and rolls in it comfortably.]

Hiccup (cont.): Whoa! [holds up Dragon Nip]

[Scene cuts to Hiccup still holding up the Dragon Nip, but at the Arena]

[Hiccup grounds a Gronckle during training by rubbing Dragon Nip on its nose.]

"You can take down a dragon with grass?" Maui asked, astounded.

"Actually it's dragon nip." Hiccup corrected him.

"Capable of possibly calming even the most aggressive dragons." Fishlegs added.

Fishlegs: What was that? Some kind of trick? What did you do?

Tuffnut: How'd you do that?

Ruffnut: It was really cool.

Fishlegs: Hey, Hiccup!

Snotlout: Hey, Hiccup, I've never seen a Gronckle do that before!

Hiccup: I left my axe back in the ring. You guys go on ahead. I'll catch up with you.

[Scene cuts to back at the cove]

[Hiccup puts Toothless to sleep by scratching him just below the chin.]

[Scene cuts back to at the Arena]

[Hiccup the puts the Deadly Nadder to sleep the same way during training.]

Stormfly nudged Hiccup. It felt really good when she was scratched there.

Tuffnut: Hiccup, you're totally going to come in first, there's no question.

[Scen cuts to back at the cove]

[Toothless chases a shiny light that Hiccup creates using the sun and a hammer.]

[Scene cuts to back at the Arena]

Gobber: Meet the Terrible Terror.

[The cage is opened and the Terrible Terror is revealed to be only the size of a chihuahua. It licks its eye The teens laugh at the tiny dragon.]

"AW." All the girls in the audience went. Even some of the more stoic ones couldn't help but smile.

Tuffnut: Ha! That's like the size of my-

[The dragon attacks Tuffnut.]

Tuffnut (cont.): AH! GET IT OFF!

Ruffnut cackled at her brother's situation.

Everyone else laughed at the sudden turn of events. They thought the dragon was to small and cute to be so vicious.

[The Terrible Terror chews on his nose, but then chases a shiny light created by Hiccup's shield back into the enclosure]

Tuffnut (cont.): OH, I'M HURT! I AM VERY MUCH HURT!

Tuffnut (cont.): [to Astrid] Wow, he's better than you ever were.

[Astrid glares back at him. Hiccup gets the Terrible Terror back into its enclosure and smiles back at the others.]

[Scene cuts to at the forest]

[Astrid sees Hiccup holding a harness while throwing her axe at the trees in the forest. Hiccup runs away and loses a furious Astrid.]

"You might be strong, but you sure are stealthy." Kristoff said.

"Thank, thank you. I try." Hiccup sarcastically remarked.

[Scene cuts to at the cove]

[Hiccup practices new tail positions with Toothless, when the rope snaps and bends the safety hook, leaving rider and dragon attached.]

Hiccup: Oh, great.

[Hiccup sneaks Toothless into the blacksmith shop to remove the connecting cord.]

Viking: Hiccup.

"That was one of the most stressful moments of my life." Hiccup said.

"I bet." Hiro said. "Trying to sneak your best friend whose supposed to be your enemy through a place where people can spot him must have been nervewrecking."

[Toothless throws a bucket and Astrid hears the noise.]

Astrid (o.s.): Hiccup? Are you in there?

"So much for being stealthy." Jack commented.

Hiccup: Astrid. Hey! Hi, Astrid. Hi, Astrid. Hi, Astrid.

"And so bad at trying to be discrete." Astrid added.

Astrid: I normally don't care what people do, but you're acting weird. Well, weirder.

[Hiccup is pulled through the shutter doors. Astrid tries to see what happened, but doesn't notice Hiccup flying away with Toothless.]

"Whew, you sure dodged that bullet." Jacob said.

"For now." Hiccup said.

And that's a wrap.
