Chapters My Brave Pony: How to Train Your Dragon
….esto!”
“Cele.to!”
“Celesto!”
Grand Ruler Celesto opened his eyes and saw his wife, Queen Celestia staring at him with a worried expression that turned to relief. “Celestia?”
“Oh, thank goodness, you’re awake.” Celestia helped him sit up as he rubbed his head. “Are you alright?”
“I.. think so. All I remember was being in the Professor’s Lab….” Celesto started.
Flashback
Their majesties were in the Professor’s Lab helping him clean up. Keeping his lab clean was a major necessity so nothing would accidentally become contaminated or somebody wouldn’t accidentally slip on something poisonous or etc.
“I want to thank you again for helping me clean up.” Brain praised.
“It’s no problem.” Celestia stated.
“Indeed.” Celesto added. Celestia was sweeping while Celesto was mopping the floors. Celesia accidentally bumped into a shelf and a purple liquid in a beaker was shaking and it almost feel if Brian hadn’t caught it with his magic. “Phew, that was close.” he said. “Glad this didn’t spill.”
“Professor, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that potion. What is it exactly?” Grand Ruler asked.
“This is my Alternate Dimension Potion.”
“Alternate Dimension Potion?” their majesties said in unison.
“Yes, it’s a potion that can send you to an alternate dimension.” Brain explained.
“What kind of alternate dimension?” Celestia asked.
“That’s unknown; all I know is it dangerous.” Brain said as he put it back on the shelf. “Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to go check on the lab boys.”
Brain left the room, while their majesties continued cleaning the room. Suddenly, the potion on the wall began rocking back and forth until it fell on the floor and the beaker shattered, startling their majesties. “How did that potion fall off the shelf?” Celestia questioned.
“I don’t know.” Celesto said.
The puddle of purple liquid began to glow and a large swirling vortex appeared before their majesties. Celestia felt herself begin pulled towards the portal. “Celesto! It’s… pulling me in!”
“Celestia!” He ran and grabbed his wife by the arms and tried to pull her out of the portal. “I’ve… got you darling!” But the portal began pulling him as well. He tried to pull himself and his wife out but the portal was too strong and it pulled them both in and the vortex closed up, leaving nothing behind. Not even the broken beaker.
That’s when Brain walked back into the room. “Your majesties, I’m back!” He called but he saw nothing in the lab. “Ummm… your majesties?”
Their majesties held each other while the traveled through the portal until everything went black.
Flashback End
Their majesties looked around and saw they were on a beach on an island. "Where are we?" Celestia asked.
"I don't know." The two heard some voices in the air and flapping wings. Suddenly, five dragons came down onto the ground, growling at their majesties. "Woah!" they cried. They identified them as a blue Deadly Nadder, a green Hideous Zippleback, a brown Gronckle, a red Monstrous Nightmare and a Night Fury.
On each other the dragons backs was a rider. On the Night Fury was a boy wearing the same green tunic and pants from the first film, but he's now wearing a suede vest with Nordic designs embossed at the hem and front closure, and a matching suede boot.
On the Deadly Nadder was a girl who has long, blonde hair wrapped in a braid down her back, bangs that initially cover the left side of her face, and a metal-studded leather band across her forehead. In the first movie. She also has a sleeveless shirt in varying shades of steel-blue, tan cloth bracers on her arms (each bit of cloth goes between her first and second finger) with bicep wrappings above them, a brownish red skirt with spikes surrounding it, another black skirt underneath the spiked one, and dark blue leggings. She wears a belt decorated with silver skulls with a pouch tied to it and also metal shoulder guards which are attached to two silver skulls.
On the Monstrous Nightmare was a boy wearing his helmet with spiral sheep horns, his tunic tucked in his pants with open-stitching and a black vest over it, dark gray bracers on his arms, and matching fur boots.
On the Zippleback was a boy and a girl. The girl wore a light brown, animal skin-like mini vest and a dark blue tunic that goes a little over her hip and ends in tatters. She wears a grayish-brown mini-skirt that also ends in tatters. Around her waist, she wears a metal-leather belt with an unidentified metal crest in the middle of it. She also wears dark brown leggings and dark blue furry boots. On her arms, she wears a long dark-gray cloth brace that starts at her elbows and stops at the wrist. A bit of the cloth also goes through between her first and second finger. Her helmet is studded with four horns, just like her brother's, albeit being longer and more slender: The top two are thinner bull-like horns while the two bottom horns are longer and curved. Without her helmet, her hair is evenly divided in slightly to the side and short bangs across the left side of her face. She has two small braids near the top of her hair and long braids that reach to her waist.
The boy wore a dark brown long furry animal vest with a very light pale green tunic that goes all the way past his hip. Around his waist, there's a brown sash-like belt that is tied around. He also wears light grey-blue pants and dark brown furry boots. On his arms, he wears a long brown arm cloth armband that starts at his elbows and ends at his wrists. His helmet is studded with four horns: the top two are bull-like, and the bottom two resemble ox horns.
On the Gronckle was another boy wears a brown furry outfit, with a tiny Viking helmet with tiny, metal wings on them.
All of them was staring at their majesties. "What the heck are you two suppose to be?" the boy on the Monstrous Nightmare asked. "Toys gone wrong?"
"Snotlout!" The boy on the Night Fury exclaimed.
"What?"
Their majesties looked at each other. "Please, ignore him." the boy said. "My name is Hiccup and these are my friends; Astrid, Snotloud, Ruff, Tuff and Fishlegs."
"My name is Celesto and this is my wife, Celestia." Celesto introduced.
"Wife?!" Snotlout exclaimed. "No way."
"Yep." Celesto approved.
"So what are you two doing out here?" Astrid asked.
"Well... if we tell you, you probably won't believe us." Celestia stated.
"Pffft. Try us." Snotlout challenged.
Five minutes later
Hiccup and his friends were in shock and silence. " So let me get this straight. You two come from another universe in space where you two are the supreme rulers of a planet, but in a lab a alternate dimension potion spilled and sucked you both to our world?" Hiccup summarized.
"That's correct." Celesto approved.
"Woah, Incredible." Fishlegs gasped.
"Oh please, I don't believe it." Snotloud scoffed. "If you two are magical prove it." Celestia smirked and used her magic to lift Snotloud into the air. "WAH! AHH! HOOKFANG!" he cried and Celestia put him back down. "Okay, okay, your magical."
Celestia smiled. "Okay so, you two should probably come with us to Berk." Hiccup said.
"Alright." Their majesties spread their wings and flew into the sky followed by Hiccup and the others.
Reaching Berk, Hiccup and the gang landed in front of Hiccups' hut. Their majesties followed Hiccup inside where they found a big man, with green eyes and red hair. He had a very muscular figure that intimidated those who cross his path. He had barely visible freckles (a trait that his son inherited), and his red hair was braided at the back. The trend of braiding carried on his beard which was intricate in its many strands. A chainmail tunic with striped pants and fur boots, and a large horned helmet. He also wore spiked braces over his wrists.
"Ah Hiccup, who are you new friends?" he asked. Their majesties were almost as tall as him. "Hi dad. This is my dad, Stoick the Vast. Dad, this is Celestia and Celesto and... they need some help." Hiccup explained what their majesties told them and he was also surprised. "Well now this is a first." he stated. "We never had two magical ponies here before. Nevertheless, you both are welcomed to stay here until you both can return home."
"Thank you very much." Celestia thanked. "Now we just have to figure out how."
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a solution soon." Hiccup reassured. Their majesties smiled at him.
Just then, everyone heard some commotion. "Zippleback on the loose!"
"Zippleback?" Hiccup questioned.
They all rushed outside where they saw a large Zippleback. It was green with blue spots on his body.
The Zippleback was looked around frantically, like it was looking for something. "Woah, a Titan Wing Zippleback!" Fishlegs exclaimed in excitement.
"What's it doing here?" Astrid asked.
Their majesties looked closely and recognized the Zippleback. "Dusk! Dawn!" they cried. The Zippleback looked at them and roared happily. It ran towards them and knocked the duo down, licking their faces. "Hehehe, boys, how'd you get here?" Celesto asked. The Zippleback cooed happily and their majesties got up and rubbed their heads. "That's your dragon?!" Snotlout exclaimed.
"Yeah. On our planet we saved them from a Changewing and he's been with us ever since." Celestia explained.
"Incredible. Titan Wings' are extremely rare dragons to find. The fact that you both have a Titan Wing as your dragon is astounding." Fishlegs added.
Dusk and Dawn nuzzled their majesties, happy to be with them again. "Well, looks like we have another guest staying with us." Stoick claimed.
Their majesties couldn't help but smile while rubbing their Zipplebacks' heads.`
Meanwhile on a ship 10 miles from Berk, stood a man on the deck, looking through a spyglass. The man was larger than Stoick the Vast, with a helmet sporting very long horns. He has a scar on his right cheek, and he sports black hair and a black beard. He has metal shoulder pads with spikes. He also has a red tunic with a chain-mail vest over it, arm bands with metal studs on the left one and with metal spikes on the right one, dark gray leather pants, a black belt with bits of bones and skulls and white leather around the waist, and black worn boots. He also carries a sword with the upper part of a scabbard attached to it.
"Ah, a Titan Wing Zippleback. Those would fetch a high price on the Northern Markets and those strange creatures as well." he said.
"Alvin, what should we do?" a hunter asked.
"We'll secretly dock on the far side of the island. Bring me those three creatures to me alive." he ordered.
The hunters nodded. Now all they had to do was dock the ship.
Meanwhile, their majesties were shown the arena where Hiccup and his friends train dragons. Fishlegs was busy drawing a picture of Dusk and Dawn to add to the Book of Dragons.
"So you two have a Titan Wing, huh?" Ruffnut asked. "Well, he's not nearly as cool as our Zippleback. He blows stuff up."
Barf and Belch, the twins Zippleback, approached Dusk and Dawn. The Titan Wing looked at it's normal counterpart curiously. Barf let out some gas and Belch let out some sparks, as if asking Dusk and Dawn if they wanted to blow stuff up. But the Titan Wing shook it's head.
"How come yours doesn't want to blow stuff up?" Tuffnut asked.
"Because we taught him, not to blow stuff up on his own." Celestia explained.
"But that's no fun." Ruffnut complained.
"Ruff, Tuff, leave them alone, please." Hiccup asked as he came over.
"Alright, information is done, now onto his abilities." Fishlegs stated. "How fast does he go?"
"How fast? Hmmm... we haven't really tested how fast he can go." Celesto admitted.
"Well how about we change that?" Hiccup offered, looking at his Night Fury. "Ready Toothless?"
The Night Fury nodded and soon they were all near the far side of the island. "Alright you two, we'll start Dusk and Dawn off against Snotlout and Hookfang, then you'll go against Astrid and Stormfly, and finally me and Toothless." Hiccup stated.
"Hey, how come we don't race them?" Ruffnut complained.
"Why would we race two of the same species?" Hiccup asked.
"Eh... I don't know."
Hiccup sighed. "Anyway, Celestia, Celesto, Snotlout, are you ready?"
"You bet!" Snotlout exclaimed.
"We're ready." Celestia said.
"Okay...GO!"
The two dragons flew off of the island and towards the seastacks. "Come on Hookfang, let's show them how we do it." Snotlout said.
He and Hookfang swerved around the seastacks and flew over some and dove right down, increasing their speeds. "HA! Beat that!"
"Ready boys?" Celesto asked. The Zippleback roared. "Alright, go boys." The Titan Wing suddenly gave a burst of speed, swerving through the seastacks and catching up with Snotlout and Hookfang. "WHAT?!" he exclaimed. The Titan Wing sped ahead and flew around a seastack and rushed back to Berk. "Incredible!" Fishlegs exclaimed. "Normally Titan Wings size makes them slower in flight, but their Titan Wing is faster!"
Dusk and Dawn landed back near the starting line and Snotlout and Hookfang followed. "Looks like the Titan Wing beat you, Snotloud." Astrid said as Stormfly walked up to the starting line. "Grr.. shut up Astrid." he grumbled.
"Alright, now Dusk and Dawn vs Stormfly." Hiccup said. ".... Go!"
The Nadder and Zippleback flew out towards the seastacks. Their majesties were neck-in-neck with Astrid and Stormfly. "Your dragon is pretty quick." she said.
"Thanks." Celestia said.
They were both approaching the last seastack. They both made a sharp turn and rushed back to the starting line neck-in-neck. "And it's a tie this time!" Hiccup exclaimed.
The two landed, "Not bad." Astrid praised.
"You're not too bad yourself." Celesto said.
"Alright. Time for the final race." Hiccup said as he mounted Toothless.
"If Dusk and Dawn can match Toothless, they're the most amazing Zippleback ever." Fishlegs stated.
"Hey!" Tuff exclaimed, Barf and Belch added a small growl. "Sorry." Fishlegs said.
"Ready bud?" Hiccup asked. Toothless roared a little.
"Let's go!"
The Night Fury and Titan Wing flew out to sea, each swerving around the seastacks with ease and grace. Toothless was ahead by a few feet. Suddenly, a net came out of nowhere and snagged Dusk and Dawn and their majesties. "WAH!"
Toothless stopped and Hiccup gasped, "Celestia, Celesto!"
The dragon and two riders crashed into the ocean. Astrid and the others gasped and immediately mounted their dragons and rushed to the scene. "Hiccup, where are they?!" Astrid asked.
Hiccup was scanning the sea, but he doesn't see them. "I don't see them."
"Hey, Look!" Snotlout pointed and the team saw a ship. There were two hunters pulling a net on ship. The net held Dusk and Dawn and Celestia and Celesto!
"Dragon hunters!" Hiccup cried. "Let's move!" Hiccup and the gang flew right for the ship.
Their majesties and their dragon struggled to get out of the net, but they couldn't. Their majesties did not want to use their magic freeing it would do more harm than good. They could see clearly through the net and saw a man approaching them. "Well, well, well, you four fell right into my trap." he said.
"Who are you?" Celesto asked.
"The name is Alvin. Alvin the Treacherous. You and your dragon will fetch me a high price at the North Markets."
Their majesties gasped in shock. Dusk and Dawn cooed in worry. "Don't worry boys, we'll get out of this." Celestia whispered.
"And what makes you say that?" Alvin asked.
"Celestia! Celesto!" a voice called.
A plasma blast struck Alvin from behind, sending him flying, followed by Hiccup and Toothless landing on the ship. "Hiccup!" their majesties cried.
Hiccup pulled the net off of them. "Come on, hurry!" Their majesties mounted their dragon and flew into the sky. The hunters launched some arrows at the dragons. Toothless dodged them but Dusk and Dawn were hit, they roared in pain and began falling out of the sky. "DUSK! DAWN! YAAHHHHH!"
The gang gasped. The twins and their dragon flew down and caught Dusk and Dawn. "Got'cha!" Tuff declared. Stormfly, Hookfang and Toothless blasted the ship. "Grr... retreat!" Krogan cried. The ship turned around and sailed away.
The dragon riders flew to the beach and Barf and Belch put Dusk and Dawn down. They were both roaring in pain. Their majesties looked at their dragon with worry. "Boys, are you alright?" Celestia asked.
Fishlegs came and extracted the arrow and saw that it was tipped with something green. "Dragon root arrows." he said. He quickly pulled out a small cup and fed it to Dusk and Dawn. "Dragon root? What's that?" Celestia asked.
"It's a plant, that in high concentrations can knock a dragon out of the sky." Fishlegs informed. Dusk and Dawn roared a little. "Boys." Their majesties cuddled their dragon. "Easy boys, you're gonna be just fine." Celestia said. Barf and Belch went to Dusk and Dawn and roared softly at them and they roared back.
"What did Alvin want with you two?" Hiccup asked.
"He said that Dusk and Dawn and us would fetch a high price in something called North Markets." Celesto stated.
Hiccup winced, "Not good. That means he'll be after you four, now."
"What do we do, Hiccup?" Fishlegs asked.
"We'll have to keep their majesties and their dragon safe from Alvin and the Outcasts." Hiccup replied.
Dusk and Dawn cooed and managed to stand up, but were still a little wobbly. Celestia and Celesto came over to them, "Easy boys, easy." Celestia cooed.
"They'll be after some rest." Fishlegs said.
"Come on gang, let's get back to Berk." Hiccup stated.
Their majesties rode on Barf and Belch with Ruff and Tuff. Toothless carried Dusk and Dawn to his house in Berk. It getting dark when, Dusk and Dawn staggered into the house where Hiccup led them upstairs where they could rest. He told Stoick what happened while they were racing. "Hmm... very disturbing son. But don't worry, we'll keep an eye out for Alvin." he said.
"Okay dad."
Stoick came to their majesties, "Right now you two and your dragon need to rest after what happened."
"Alright." Celestia and Celesto went upstairs and found their dragon sleeping in the corner of the room. They went over to him and layed against his side. Dusk and Dawn woke and cooed, looking at their riders. "We're alright, boys. Don't worry, we'll find a way home soon." Celestia said. "Right now, let's get some sleep."
Dusk and Dawn curled around their rider, using their wing as a blanket for them. And all four of them fell asleep for the night.
My Brave Pony: How to Train Your Dragon
Episode 1: The Terrible Twos
It was morning and the Viking teens were riding their dragons through a thick forest. Dusk and Dawn were fully healed after the encounter with Alvin and the Outcasts.
"Follow me!" Hiccup ordered as they follow into the forest. "Low-level evasive maneuvers! Come on, bud!"
They then started to fly through the trees and going through the gaps of fall trees that were pinned to other trees. They then turned before they crashed into some very thick trees.
Dusk and Dawn were swerving through the trees, making sharp turns, despite their large size, they didn't clip any branches. "That's the way, boys!" Celesto exclaimed. Their dragon roared happily.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Snotlout yelled at Hookfang. Hookfang seemed to be doing his own thing that involved crashing into trees. "Are you trying to kill me?" Hookfang just roared at him. Snotlout then looked at him straight in the eye. "We got to go back, I think you missed a branch."
Hookfang did what he was told and flew straight down into the trees. Once they got out Snotlout's face was covered in branches. "Got it!" He said dazed.
Hiccup, Astrid and their majesties were flying side by side racing against each other. In front of Astrid was a fallen trees. "Stormfly, up!" Astrid ordered.
Instead Stormfly went down under it. But doing so, set Astrid into the air screaming; luckily she landed back on Stormfly's back.
"You were right, Stormfly. It was down. I almost died." Astrid said breathing heavily.
"Almost died? I would've died!" Snotlout said flying next to them and pulling a branch out of one of his nostrils.
"That's a good look for you." Astrid said. Quickly Snotlout put the branch back into his nostril.
"Hey, has anyone seen Fishlegs?" Hiccup asked.
"I saw him yesterday. Does that count?" Ruffnut asked.
"Well, lets go look for him." Hiccup said.
Their majesties and Hiccup flew through the forest looking for Fishlegs. When they got past a tree they saw Meatlug sticking out of it. Also a bit low to the ground they saw Fishlegs stuck in a different tree.
"Whoa, there, you are Fishlegs." Hiccup said as they landed and hopped of their dragons. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just hanging out, not like I crashed or anything." Fishlegs said. There was a short pause bit Fishlegs spoke again. "Okay, I crashed, there I said it."
"Hang on, we'll get you out." Celestia said.
Then they both took a leg and began to pull but instead of pulling him out, they pulled his pants off. "Oops!" They both said.
"And there goes my dignity." Fishlegs said awkwardly.
They tried pulling him out again but he was stuck tight. "Yeah, your pretty stuck." Hiccup said after they let go. Their majesties looked at Dusk and Dawn. "Dusk, Dawn, grab Fishlegs." Celesto ordered. The Zippleback grabbed Fishlegs by his legs and easily plled him out of the tree and put him on the ground. Fishlegs slowly pulling his tunic down hopped of him. "Thank you. I believe those are mine." Fishlegs said awkwardly and Hiccup tossed his pants over to him.
"Now, what do we do about Meat-" Hiccup started before the tree holding up Meatlug broke and landed in front of them. "-lug!" He finished.
"Could you guys not tell the others that Meatlug broke the trees? She's sensitive about her weight." Fishlegs asked.
"How did this happen?" Hiccup asked.
"Well, Meatlug and I were just out, taking notes on the flora and fauna, you know. Typical guy stuff." He explained, twiddled his fingers, "Then something weird jumped out of the bushes, it was like a... flaming squirrel.".
"Really? A flaming squirrel?" Hiccup and their majesties asked in unison.
"Or a chipmunk." He followed it up with. Hiccup and their majesties exchanged a skeptical glance towards each other and Fishlegs.
"Or some other flammable rodent. I don't know guys. Whatever it was, it scared us. Isn't that enough for you?" He said moodily and hopped on Meatlug and flew off.
"You hear that?" Hiccup asked as he got on Toothless. "A flaming squirrel."
"Yeah, everyone knows there's no such thing as a FLAMING SQUIRREL." Hiccup yelled the last hit because a burst of flame came in front of them knocking him off of Toothless. Dusk and Dawn stopped mid flight while their majesties stared in shock.
"Whoa, you saw that, right?" Hiccup asked as he got up.
"A bit hard to miss." Celestia said.
Their majesties landed and dismounted Dusk and Dawn. They both hid behind a log and they poked their heads over it, not seeing a flaming squirrel but a little dragon. It was hiding under a bunch of rocks and it was just large enough to hold it in there. They slowly approach it and looked at it.
It was a small dragon and looked a bit like a Monstrous Nightmare, only its claws were different and the neck was thinner and it hand less horns on its head. It had orange and purple scales and looked frightened. "Hey, little guy." Hiccup greeted. "Who are you?" He placed his hands on the rocks near the dragon. The little dragon growled at Hiccup's hands and snapped his jaws at him. "Whoa!" Hiccup gasped. "Settle down, big fella." He said softly.
There was another cry from nearby. Their majesties went over to a bush and saw another baby dragon. The second dragon has light yellow with small horns and blue frills on the sides of its face.
Their majesties cooed at the sight of the little babay dragon. "Awww... hi little guy." Celestia cooed. The baby dragon looked at them and cooed. Dusk and Dawn came over and stared at the baby dragon. "Doesn't this one look familiar, honey?" Celestia asked.
"Yeah.. but I can quite put my finger on it." her husband agreed. The baby gave a little roar and crawled up to Celestia. "Well we can't leave you here alone. You're coming home with us." Celestia said. The baby cooed as Celestia cradled it in her arms. Dusk and Dawn huffed a little. "Aw boys, don't be jealous." Celestia said.
Meanwhile, Toothless walked over to sniff the dragon but his irises narrowed and he backed away, growling at the dragon.
"You're not helping." Hiccup said. Toothless walked up and began to push them away from the small dragon. "Whoa, hey, Toothless, what has gotten into you?" The little dragon roared a little. Hiccup nodded and bent down towards him. "Don't be afraid, we're friends." Hiccup said he then pulled out some dragon nip and held it out the dragon snapped its jaws. "It's okay, just a little dragon nip." The dragon came and sniffed at the grass. Toothless growled and the dragon screeched. "Come on, play nice." He said and the dragon leapt on him. Hiccup chuckled a little, "Alright let's get you back home." he said.
That's when their majesties came back. "Woah, what's with the second baby dragon?"
"We found her in a bush nearby." Celesto said. "And she's coming home too."
Moments later they were at the arena with all the Viking teens around looking at the small dragons.
"This is so exciting! It's two whole new species." Fishlegs said excitedly.
"Actually Fishlegs, me and my husband have seen this dragon before, but we can remember what it was called." Celestia said.
"Then it's just one new speices of dragon." Fishlegs added.
"Doesn't look like a flaming squirrel to me." Tuffnut said.
"We have no idea what it's capable of!" Fishlegs said, looking down at the small dragon. "There's no telling what it might do."
Tuffnut lowered himself to the dragons, "Flame. Do it." He commanded, the orange dragon growled and bit his nose. He latched onto his face, making him flail wildly and Ruffnut began to laugh at her brother's misfortune. "Get it off, get it off, get it off!" The dragon looked at Ruffnut then jumped at her face, getting the same reaction Tuffnut got. He looked at his sister, "Hey, that is funny." Tuffnut smirked.
The dragon then jumped off Ruffnut and landed back on the ground. Tuffnut got up and went towards the baby dragon their majesties found. "Flame. Do it." he said. The baby looked at him and spit out some orange amber onto the floor. 'Woah, it spits... amber?" Fishlegs said. That when it clicked for their majesties. "Death Song! That's it! It's called a Death Song!" Celesto exclaimed.
"Death Song?" Hiccup and the others repeated in confusion.
"On our world, a friend of ours, Sapphire, said that Death Songs are Mystery Class Dragons that are very beautiful and dangerous at the same time. They spit amber that hardens really quick and can trap anything." Celesto explained.
"Cool, what do they eat?" Fishlegs asked.
"Other dragons." Celestia stated.
Hiccup, his friends and their dragon froze for a minute and looked at the baby Death Song. "Okay, that things' gotta go!" Snotloud exclaimed, going to grab the baby. Celestia got in front of him, "Snotloud, we can't just abandon her!"
"Yes we can, it'll be fine, it's mother will come back for it." Snotloud replied.
"Actually Snotlout, Sapphire said that Death Song babies are left to fend for themselves." Celesto added.
"... Still, that thing is leaving!" Snotlout exclaimed. The baby Death Song squeaked and clumsily flew into the air and landed by Dusk and Dawn. Then it crawled underneath them, whimpering. "Come here you little dragon." he stated.
The baby whimpered again, spuring Dusk to bash Snotlout with his head, sending him into the wall. "OW! Hey, what did you do that for?!"
Dusk and Dawn growled at him. The baby Death Song crawled out from underneath the Titan Wing and nuzzled it's leg. "Looks like it bonded with Dusk and Dawn." Fishlegs said.
"Awesome, now we can train it to spit at Snotlout." Tuff exclaimed.
"Tuffnut, we are not training it to harm people!" Hiccup stated.
Tuffnut groaned, "Fine."
"Now we have to figure out what to do with them." Hiccup added.
"Uh, New species, remember? We actually don't know what he'll do." Fishlegs said.
"Well, someone's got to take him home." Astrid said then all of the teens stepped away from Hiccup and their majesties.
"Well, big guy, here's your somebody." Hiccup said looking at the dragon. The baby dragon tilted his head to the side while the baby Death Song crawled back over to their majesties. Celestia picked her up. "And we're your somebody, little one."
Later that night Hiccup and their majesties brought the little dragons home. However Stoick was not very happy about it.
"No, no, no." Stoick said. "He's not stay here. I've got a two dragon limit."
"Oh, come on, they're not a very big dragon." Hiccup said.
Stoick placed wood into the fireplace. "Toothless? What are you waiting for?" Toothless began fire a plasma blast but the small dragon blew fire out of his mouth and it landed in the fireplace. The baby Death Song was fast asleep in Celestias' arms. "Ha, Looks like you've got torched." Stoick said to Toothless. He growled and turned his head away. "Oh, that's his name by the way; Torch."
"So, they can stay?" Hiccup asked.
"Well, can't throw him out now. We just named her." Stoick said.
"Your majesties, what are you gonna name the baby Death Song?" Hiccup asked.
"We were thinking about.... Melody." Celesto stated.
The baby Death Song roared a little in her sleep. "I think she likes it."
A little later, Hiccup brought over a basket full of fish and walked over to Toothless and Touch.
"One hundred for you and one for you." Hiccup said to Toothless and Torch. "Okay, boys. Your first supper together." Hiccup said, placing a basket of fish for Toothless and placed a single fish in bowl in front of touch.
Toothless licked his lips, but by the time Toothless looked down not a second later, Torch had eaten all the fish. Touch just walked away and Toothless roared at him which made Touch to climb on the wooden beams.
"Wow, Toothless, you sure are hungry tonight, aren't you, bud?" Hiccup said, and carried the empty baskets away.
A little while later they were in Hiccup's room getting ready for bed. Dusk and Dawn were cuddled around their majesties.
"Okay, Torch. This is where you're going to sleep." Hiccup said. Torch chirped and jumped onto Toothless' bed. Toothless growled at him and threw him off the bed but when he turned back, Torch was right back on it. Toothless's eyes widened in shock.
"Oh, look at that. He made himself at home." Hiccup said and pet Torch. "Toothless, you don't mind sharing your bed for the night, do you?" Toothless growled and leapt up onto a wooden beam. Torch got comfortable on the bed then curled up to sleep.
"Hope he sleeps for the night, he hardly ate." Hiccup said as he got into bed. Toothless growled at him.
"And you go to sleep." Hiccup said and blew the candle out and closed his eyes.
The next morning the Viking teens were at the arena with a table in front of them. They were about to find out what Touch can do since they know what Melody can do.
"Okay, Torch. Let's figure out what you are." Hiccup said placing Touch on the table.
"This is going to be so exciting. Documenting a whole new species, learning all about it!" Fishlegs said excitedly.
"Wait, learning?" Tuffnut said confused.
"No thanks." Ruffnut said.
"There's nothing in the Book of Dragons that looks anything like him." Hiccup said looking through the Book of Dragons.
"We even get to determine what it's called. That is… that is a really big responsibility. I don't know if I'm ready for that." Fishlegs said.
"I am! I'm going to name the snot out of it." Snotlout said jumped in front of him
"Twenty inches for the wings." Astrid said measuring Torch's wings.
"That's a big wingspan." Hiccup said.
"Big Wing. Big Span. Big Wingspan!" Snotlout shouted out.
"May I have the honor of administering the claw test?" Fishlegs said. He pulled out a scroll, unravelled it and held it in front of Torch. He sliced through it with his claws like it was nothing. "These talons... they're razor-like.”
"Sharp Claw. Razor Feet. Razor-Sharp-Claw-Talon-Feet!" Snotlout yelled out.
"Hold on, is he serious?" Tuffnut asked.
"You know what's next, don't you." Fishlegs said to Hiccup.
"No, not really." Hiccup said confused.
"Only the single most important test that determines a dragon's reaction to eels." He said, obviously following with what I was saying. Hiccup looked at him with a grin. "The eel reaction test."
Fishlegs pulled an eel out of a basket and held it up. The dragons all began to try and get away. Melody squeaked and buried her head in Celestias' chest. "Awww, it's alright, Melody." she cooed. He held out the eel to Torch. He nudged it with his nose, sniffed it then he eat it.
"He ate it!" Fishlegs said, in amazement.
"Eel Eater! Come on, that's perfect." Snotlout said.
"Guys, has there ever been a dragon that was-" Hiccup said as he walked over to Fishlegs.
"We're in uncharted waters, my friend." Fishlegs said.
Hiccup pet Torch's head once again, "You hear that, Torch? You're one of a kind." He said.
"Now, if we can get him to fly." Fishlegs said.
"Maybe if Torch saw Toothless fly." Hiccup suggested. "Toothless! Let's take a ride, bud." He called, Toothless wasn't sitting too far from the arena but he didn't look like he was ready to go anywhere. "Toothless!
Snotlout laughed mockingly, "So much for the dragon trainers." He stepped over to Hookfang. "We've got this." He got settled on Hookfang's back and Torch chirped in content. "Watch and learn." He said, Hookfang took off and brutally beat Snotlout with his flying just like he'd done in the trick competition, passing by the stubborn Night Furie that didn't even blink when they passed.
"Okay, your turn." Snotlout said, out of breath. "But don't think that you have to live up to that."
Torch jumped onto the ground and walked awkwardly in a circle. "What's he doing?" Ruffnut asked.
"I think something's wrong." Astrid said.
"Maybe he can't fly." Hiccup said.
Sparks began to fly out of Torch's back as his running around in a circle got faster. The heat coming off of his back was strong and it was pretty bright. Torch began to lift off of the ground and flew in circles around the arena, sparks falling all over the place. He came back to the ground with a spin. Melody cooed.
Torch jumped at Hiccup, "You are one incredible little dragon." He said.
Everyone looked at the spiral burn mark on the ground. "Whoa. Look at that burn mark." Ruffnut said.
"Huh. And look at this burn mark." Tuffnut said showed her his freshly burnt arm and she looked at it in slight disgust. "Did you see how it flew? It spun like-like a typhoon." Fishlegs said.
"And he came back just like a boomerang." Astrid said.
"Hot spinner. Flaming come-backer!" Snotlout said yelled out.
"No." Fishlegs said and shook his head. "Typhoomerang."
"Typhoomerang? No, I don't get it." Snotlout said. Astrid rolled our eyes.
Later that night at the Haddock house, Toothless was sat cautiously on the roof, looking for something.
Meanwhile in Hiccup's room Torch had put on Hiccup's Viking helmet and was running around, chirping and screeching.
"Okay, Torch, hold still. I'm trying to draw you." Hiccup said, "You're getting your own chapter." Torch turned up to Hiccup and chirped again. Hiccup grinned and made a growling noise towards him, making a clawing gesture. Melody was crawling on Celesto's lap and placed his front claws on his chest. "Yes Melody?" Melody licked his face and nuzzled him. "Awww...."
Torch and Hiccup kept exchanging chirps and growls. Toothless then barged in through Hiccup's window and tackled him, knocking him over and dropping the book and pencil breaking the charcoal end.
"Toothless, look what you did." Hiccup said, Toothless growled. I looked out of the window and saw a black dragon flying off.
"And now I have to get more charcoal. Toothless you behave yourself while I'm gone." He said and went back downstairs. Toothless, he gave Torch a growl and the small dragon jumped on me.
Hiccup saw out of the corner of his eyes, "Hey, it's okay, big guy. I'll be right back."
Hiccup picked up some charcoal but then saw that his room was on fire. He quickly ran upstairs and saw Toothless chasing Touch around the room. "Toothless!" He yelled. Melody spit some amber onto the fire area, stopping it completely. "Woah... thanks Melody." Hiccup said. Melody roared a little.
"What is going on here?" Hiccup asked. He looked at Toothless confused. "Toothless, why did you do this? What's wrong with you?" He asked, Toothless roared at him and jumped out of the window. "Toothless, wait!" When Toothless didn't return, he looked down at Torch. "It's okay, big guy. He's starting to worry me too."
Toothless races through the forest, the trees a blur as he runs forward. He leaps from trees and stops and hangs onto the bark with his claws hardly breathing hard despite all the running he had just done. He stares at the two small Typhoomerangs, and watches as a boar runs into the clearing. The two babies stare at it in shock and surprise and then fear. They both run away and right towadrs their mother who was watching them from some trees. the mother Typhoomerang was pink.
The mother Typhoomerang roars at the boar and the boar turns around, running in fear. Toothless watches his eyes growing wide as he stares at the scene. The mother angry flies up in a circle encircling the boar with fire. Toothless watched this and soon the boar is gone in the flames.
The next morning Hiccup brought Touch to the forage and began to talk to Gobber about Toothless
"I don't know, it's like Toothless is jealous or something. Which is great, that means my first girlfriend is a dragon." Hiccup said.
"Well that's something we both have in common. I think there must be something going on under the surface. Dragons are complex creatures, Hiccup. They operate on many emotional levels. Me? I've only got the one." Gobber said.
Then Toothless ran up to the forge, roaring and pawing at the air. "Whoa, okay Toothless." Hiccup said. Toothless then ran in a circle and roared again. "You see?" He said, looking at Gobber. "This is what I've been talking about."
Toothless roared again, "Toothless, settle down." Hiccup ordered before Torch leapt from his arms and in front of Toothless. He picked up Touch and began to run off.
"Gobber, grab him!" Hiccup said. Gobber leapt in front of Toothless, "You ready to dance, big boy? Because I've got my dancing shoe on!" Gobber said tapped his foot.
Torch struggled in Toothless's grasp then sparked up, making Toothless instantly let go of him. So Toothless began to chase him Gobber managed to grab his tail but was dragged around the forge with Gobber. Then Gobber ran face first into a shelf.
"My panpipes!" Gobber grinned, pulling a pair of panpipes out. "Now I can get the band back together!"
Meanwhile Toothless was still chasing Torch until he hid behind Hiccup's feet. "Back down." Hiccup ordered, his face only inches from Toothless'. Toothless growled.
Both of them locked and it was tense until Gobber played a cheery tune on his panpipes. "Not helping." Hiccup grumbled.
"Sorry." Gobber said and walked away.
"Toothless, I don't know what's gotten into you but I don't like it." Hiccup said.
Toothless then ran off again and Gobber began to play another cheery tune, Hiccup glared in his direction. "What?" Gobber asked.
Later that day Hiccup was riding Toothless towards the cove. But Toothless was trying to fly in another direction.
"Toothless, the cove is this way. Where are you going?" Hiccup asked then Hiccup got him to turn around. "No you're going to the cove."
They then landed in the cove and Hiccup got off and looked at Toothless. "Okay, you've got to stay here." Toothless growled at him. "I never thought bring Touch home would lead to this. I've got separate you two until I can figure this out." Hiccup said as he walked away.
Toothless then jumped in front of him block his path and growled at him. "Toothless, this is success you got to stay here." Hiccup said and walked away but Toothless blocked his path again. "Okay, a crazy out of control dragon blocking my way out."
Hiccup began to walk away once again but this time when Toothless tried to block his path he side step and ran past him. Hiccup began to climb out and looked back at Toothless who was trying to follow him and walked away with a sad look on his face.
The next morning Hiccup was holding Torch in his arms and has just told Astrid, their majesties, Fishlegs and Snotlout what he did to Toothless.
"You did the right thing with Toothless." Astrid said comforting Hiccup. "He'll snap out of it."
"Yeah, but what if doesn't." Snotlout said smiling to himself. "Then you won't have a dragon to ride. And if you don't have a dragon to ride then you can't be leader of the Dragon Academy."
"Yeah, then I'll take over do you really want that?" Astrid asked.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut then entered the arena on Barf and Belch. "You guys would not believe what we just saw." Tuffnut said.
"Excuse me, I believe we're having a power struggle." Snotlout said.
"We are not having a power struggle." Hiccup said softly.
"The whole forest, ultimate destruction." Tuffnut said.
"It was beautiful. The whole thing was torched." Ruffnut said, grinning widely. Tuffnut nodded while smirking.
Hiccup looked down at Torch and wondered curiously. "Torched?" Torch chirped. "Show me."
Moments later, they were flying over the forest and saw that trees were knocked down. They followed the toppled trees to a clearing where there was a huge spiral burn mark in the middle of it. Once they landed and got off their dragons they walked towards it.
"Like we said, ultimate destruction." Ruffnut said.
"Oh my stars." Celesto gasped.
"We've seen that burn mark before." Hiccup said, looking down at the spiral burn mark in the ground.
"Not this big." Astrid said.
"You know what this means, don't you?" Fishlegs said. "Big burn mark…"
"Big Typhoomerang." Hiccup finished.
They looked up to see a large, pink Typhoomerang blowing fire over the treetops. "He looks really mad." Tuffnut said, looking at the Typhoomerang.
"It's not a he, it's a she." Hiccup said, "That's Torch's mother."
"Torch is a baby." Astrid said eyes widened. Torch at that moment appeared on Fishlegs' shoulders. "That what Toothless was trying to tell me." Hiccup realized.
"Whoever gets in-between that mother and this baby is going to get fried." Fishlegs said passing Torch to Tuffnut.
"You take it." Tuffnut said passing Touch to Ruffnut.
"I don't want it." Ruffnut said passing Touch to Snotlout.
"Leave it and let's get out of here." Snotlout said passing Touch to Hiccup.
At that moment, Torch's mother saw Torch in Hiccup's arms and glared at him. She then flew straight down towards them.
"Hiccup quickly put Torch down. "Now go home to your mama." Hiccup said. He looked up and Torch's mother breathing fire at them. "RUN!"
All of them began to run away but unknown to them Torch was following Hiccup. "You guys go that way, I'll lead her back into the forest away from the village." Hiccup said.
"Hiccup!" Astrid called as the Torch's mother gained on him.
Hiccup ran deeper into the forest and noticed that Torch was following, "Oh, please stop following me." He said then looked back and saw Torchs' mother getting very close.
He saw the cove entrance not too far in front of and jumped. "Toothless!" He called.
A few seconds later Hiccup was riding Toothless and they flew out of the cove. "Thanks, bud. I'm so sorry I should have listened."
They then saw Torch's mother right in front of them. They flew out of the way just as she breathed fire at them.
" Toothless, evasive maneuvers ." He ordered.
They flew out of the forest and into open waters. Hiccup looked back saw that she was still following them. "Oh, why won't she stop?" Hiccup asked. Then Torch popped his head out from behind him.
"Torch?! What are you doing? You need to be with your mother!" Hiccup said. Touch's mother got closer and closer to them. "Toothless, we have to try something else. We can use her size against her."
"Toothless, up." He ordered. They then began to flew over a cliff and once they got over it Hiccup gave a new order. "Now, dive!"
Toothless dived down and a few seconds before they hit the ground Toothless pulled up. Toch's mother however couldn't pull up in time and crashed into the ground.
Once Toothless landed Hiccup looked at her worried. "I hope she's okay." Hiccup said. Torch got off of Toothless and ran to his mother and he nudged her and began to push on head with his.
Then she lifted her head up and looked at Torch. Two other baby Typhoomerangs ran off of her back and greeted Torch, a blue one and a yellow one. They nuzzled each other and Hiccup grinned.
He, "We did a good job. Everyone's back where they belong." Hiccup said patting Toothless' head. Touch and his siblings jumped on the mother's back. "Good-bye, Torch." Hiccup said waving goodbye.
Then Torch's mother sparked up and circled around as she flew off.
"Let's go home, Toothless." Hiccup said.
Toothless then flew into the air and flew towards home.
Later that night at the Haddock house, Gobber was playing his panpipes while Stoick lay peacefully in a chair. Hiccup was making Toothless beg for his food, in a pet way. Stoick was cooking dinner on the fire. "Ah, I wrote this just for the occasion." Gobber said and began to play the same tune.
"I should've known that you we're trying to protect me." Hiccup said, rubbing Toothless' head. "That's what you do." Toothless pulled his head up; Hiccup literally sat on the edge of his seat and made a disgusted face when Toothless regurgitated half a fish on his lap.
"And then you do that." He said. Melody purred in Celestos' arms. Dusk and Dawn put their heads near her and she cooed, placing her claws on them. "Hehe, I think she likes you two." Celestia cooed. Dusk and Dawn roared a little at Melody and she gave a little cry back. The next day Hiccup and Toothless were flying through the forest and soon make to where Touch's mother had burnt the landscape only to find that flowers were growing from the ashes.
My Brave Pony: How to Train Your Dragon
Today the Viking teens and their majesties were flying through thick clouds so they could trust their dragons more. However the twins were not liking this idea.
"How are we supposed to see up here?" Ruffnut asked.
"You're not. That's the whole point." Hiccup said flying over to them. Their majesties and Dusk and Dawn came over to them as well.
"Oh. No, I still don't get it." Tuffnut said.
"When you two can't see, you have to trust Barf and Belch to see for you. Like this." Hiccup said then flew into the thicker and darker clouds.
"Why does he always have to speak in riddles?" Tuffnut said in frustration.
"I say we trust us." Ruffnut suggested.
"Yeah, I'm with you, sister." Tuffnut agreed.
"Barf, up." Ruffnut ordered.
"Belch down." Ruffnut ordered at the same time.
Barf and Belch tries to perform both jobs at once. This caused them to spin out of control and they slammed right into Fishlegs and Meatlug. "Oooh, that hurts." Celestia winced as she and their dragon flew down towards them. The three riders are knocked off of their dragons and fall into a dead tree. Once they got up they saw that the branch supporting them was breaking.
"Belch, get me down!" Tuffnut ordered.
"Barf, go for help!" Ruffnut ordered at the same time.
This leads to Barf and Belch to once again spin out of control. Fishlegs gave a whistle that caused Meatlug to look at him. He made a couple of hand gestures that made her go down and pick up the twins just before the branch broke. Hiccup saw the whole thing and flew down towards Fishlegs.
"It worked. I can't believe it actually worked!" Fishlegs yelled then the branch began to snap from under him.
Luckily for him Hiccup flew down just in time and he landed on Toothless' back.
"What was that hand thing you were doing?" Hiccup asked.
"If you must know, I have been crafting some rudimentary hand signals for Meatlug just in case we get separated, and they seem to have been well received." Fishlegs explained as he gestured to the Meatlug as she carried the twins.
"Hand signals, that's incredible, Fishlegs!" Hiccup exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know!" Fishlegs said excitedly
"We need to start working on those right away." Hiccup said.
Later that day in the arena the Viking teens were working on their own hand signals for their dragons. Melody was in Celestias' arms to watch. "This is what we'll do with you one day."
Hiccup was standing in front of Toothless with a shield around his left arm.
"Toothless, battle ready!" Hiccup ordered squeezing his hand into a fist. Toothless then got ready to pounce. "Toothless, plasma blast!" Hiccup held his hand up and pointed a finger downwards and simultaneously threw his shield upwards. Toothless then shot a plasma blast blasting the shield to pieces. Good job bud! Smile!" He said bring a finger to his mouth and moved it across his lips. Toothless then gave him a Toothless smile.
"Not bad." Astrid said watching the two of them and turned to face Stormfly. "Stormfly, spine shot!" Astrid ordered, holding her hands out at arm's length. Stormfly shot a several spikes. The spikes dug into the ground in a perfect ring around Astrid. "Well that's better than last time." She murmured, pulling one out from her boot, not seeming to have been injured.
Snotlout's laughed and looked at Hookfang. "Hookfang, annihilate!" He commanded, pointing at a wooden board with his fist. Hookfang launched his fire right at Snotlout, knocking him into the board with the force of the blast.
"Bulls-eye." Tuffnut said smiling.
"Meatlug, hug!" Fishlegs told her, wrapping his arms around himself. Meatlug enthusiastically pounced on him, licking his face repeatedly.
"Hmm, that could actually be useful." Hiccup nodded and then turned to look at Ruffnut and Tuffnut. " Ruff, Tuff, your turn."
"Barf, go." Ruffnut ordered pointed away from them.
"Belch, come." Tuffnut ordered made a 'come here' gesture with both hands.
Barf and Belch tried to split up again but the heads came slapping back together. The twins glared at each other then gave another order.
"Belch, ground." Tuffnut ordered pointed down.
"Barf, sky." Ruffnut ordered pointed up.
Barf and Belch attempted to follow both commands but was only able to do a back flip in the air and came crashing back to the ground.
"Haha! I win!" Tuffnut cheered.
"What do you think you're doing to my dragon?" Ruffnut asked.
"Your dragon? Pa-lease, you've been breathing in Barf's gas again." Tuffnut said.
"Yeah, so?" Ruffnut asked glaring at her brother.
"Guys, guys." Hiccup said caught their attention. "Barf and Belch is one dragon. You have to use one signal at a time. Your majesties would you like to show them?"
"Certainly." they said in unison. Melody cried a little and crawled onto Celestias' shoulder.
Dusk and Dawn looked and them. "Dusk, Dawn. Fly."
The Zippleback flew into the air. "Now, spin." their majesties said moving their fingers in the circle. Their Zippleback flew in the shape of the cyclone. "Dusk, gas!" Celesto pointed to his mouth and Dusk let out some gas. The gas, with the motion of the dragon, moved in the shape of a cyclone. "Now Dawn, spark!" Celestia flicked her hands out and Dawn let out some gas, setting it a flame. Revealing a fire cyclone. "Woah..." Everyone gasped.
Dusk and Dawn landed near their riders. "Good boys." Celesto cooed.
"Good idea." Ruffnut said and as Tuffnut walked away from her. "Barf attack Tuffnut." She ordered with a pushing gesture. Barf used his head to ram Tuffnut from behind and sent him flying into Snotlout knocking them both over. "How's that?" She smirked.
"I don't think that's what Hiccup-" Fishlegs never finished that sentence because Tuffnut interrupted him.
"Belch, eat Ruffnut." Tuffnut ordered. Belch bit down on Ruffnut and lifted her slightly off the ground.
"Um, ow?" She said, muffled.
"Tuff, come on." Hiccup said.
"Whatever. Belch, drop Ruffnut."Tuffnut said and Belch let go of Ruffnut and she dropped to the ground.
Ruffnut shuddered. "I can't work like this." She said.
"Ugh, it's completely unprofessional." Tuffnut said.
"I'm taking my dragon and going home." Ruffnut said firmly.
"You touch that dragon and I'll-" Tuffnut said.
"You'll what?" Ruufnut asked glaring at him.
"I… I don't know. Don't rush me. Just, uh… uh. I'll tell you tomorrow!" Tuffnut said. Then they both ran to their dragon head and began to pull, like it would separate.
"Guys, come on. Stop, please. Leave the dragon out of it; it's over." Hiccup begged.
"Oh, it's over." Ruffnut agreed.
"Yeah, it's so over, it's under." Tuffnut said. The two of them left the arena very angry with one another, and left Barf and Belch snapping angrily at each other.
"What was that all about?" Astrid asked walking over.
Hiccup shrugged, "They'll be back." Barf and Belch continued snapping at each other until Dusk and Dawn came over and gave a small roar at them to stop it. The smaller Zippleback obeyed with a small huff.
Later that day, their majesties, Hiccup and Toothless entered Hiccup house. When they did the first thing they saw Gobber trying to put the belt with the Berk crest on it around Stoick's waist.
"Argh, suck in your gut, Stoick." Gobber said tightening the belt.
"It's sucked Gobber! It doesn't suck any more than this!" Stoick said sounding like he was in great pain.
"Ah, the ceremonial belt." Hiccup said as he and Toothless entered the house. "It's that time again?"
"Yep, tomorrow's the annual treaty signing with the Berserkers." Stoick said as he strained while Gobber still tried to fit the belt onto his waist.
"They've got to change that name." Gobber said. "When your chief's Oswald the Agreeable and you haven't been to war in fifty years?"
"Oh, please don't tell me he's bringing that lunatic kid of his." Hiccup begged.
"Dagur? Oh, he'll be here." Gobber said nodding.
"Oh great, and let me guess Dagur from breaking things." Hiccup muttered.
"Actually, no. I have a more important job for you, Celestia and Celesto. You get to hide all the dragons." Stoick said.
"From Oswald the Agreeable?" Hiccup asked rising an eyebrow.
"Hiccup, just because we've have had peace with them for fifty years doesn't mean they still can't go, well-" Stoick said trying to find the right word.
"Berserk?" Gobber asked.
"Exactly. The dragons could be seen as a sign of aggression. Better blissful than bloody I always say." Stoick said chuckling a bit.
"And the last thing we want is another Berserker skirmish." Gobber said. "They tend to play for keeps."
"So, just hide the dragons, son." Stoick said.
"Even Melody?" Celestia asked, rubbing the baby Death Songs' head.
"Yes, even Melody." Stoick added.
The next day the their majesties Viking teens, minus the twins, were flying with a huge herd of dragons. They were taking them to a spot that will be out of the Berserkers way.
"Back in line, back in line!" Snotlout ordered to some Terrible Terrors that he was herding. "Is Dagur coming? He's so cool." Snotlout asked
"Cool? Last time he was here, he used me for a knife throwing target." Hiccup said.
"That guy should be locked up in a cage." Astrid muttered.
"That's what he did to me!" Fishlegs said. "He wouldn't let me eat for three days!"
"Then he forced-fed you rotten cod heads." Snotlout said laughing.
"Thanks, I almost erased that from my memory." Fishlegs said pitifully.
"Oh dearm he's that awful?" Celestia asked.
"YEP!" Hiccup and his friends stated.
"Look out, incoming Zippleback!" Astrid warned. Barf and Belch then flew past them wildly. "Where's Ruffnut and Tuffnut?" Hiccup asked. "Someone go and get that dragon."
"I'm on it." Snotlout said and flew over Barf and Belch. He jumped off and landed on Belch.
"Snotlout, you need two riders." Hiccup said. "We'll get him." Celesto said. Dusk and Dawn flew after Barf and Belch. Dusk and Dawn flew direct over top of Barf and Belch. "That's it boys, easy." Celestia said. Their majesties lept form their dragon and landed right on Barf and Belch. Celestia landed on Barf and Celesto landed on Belch. "Alright boys, back to hiding." Their majesties grabbed the Zippleback's horns but the Zippleback shook violently and toss the two of them off. "YAAAAHHH!" Luckily, Dusk and Dawn caught them. "Thanks boys."
Hiccup looked on as Barf and Belch flew away. Astrid flow a long side him. "Wait here. I need to find the twins to get that Zippleback under control before the Berserkers-" A horn blared.
"Are here." Astrid finished.
"Great. Just great." Hiccup said.
Hiccup makes it back to the docks and ran up to Stoick to warn him about Barf and Belch.
"Dad, there's some-" Hiccup started.
"Not now, son. Oswald is here." Stoick said cutting him off.
They saw Berserker's ship sailing towards them. They could tell they were Berserker ships because on the sails was an image of a Skrill which was the Berserker crest. One of the Berserker boats landed in front of the dock and laid out a plank so Oswald and the others could come down. A Berserker stood up and held a spear in the air.
"Presenting the high chief of the Berserker tribe; cracker of skulls, slayer of beasts, the great and fearsome-"
"Oswald the Agreeable?" Ragnar and Gobber said at the same time confused.
"Dagur the Deranged!" He finished.
Dagur stood behind him and spit off the edge of the boat. He turned towards then and chuckled his usual, sinister chuckle.
"Dagur?" Stoick asked.
"Deranged?" Gobber asked.
"Oh, no." Hiccup said. Dagur then throw a knife towards Hiccup. The knife flew over his head. "Oh, perfect." Hiccup muttered. Dagur then walked down the plank and towards us.
"Dagur? Where's your father?" Stoick asked.
"My father had been 'retired.' He lost his taste for blood. I, on the other hand, am starving." Dagur sang then chuckled. He turned serious after a short moment then looked around, "So, where are you hiding them, Stoick?"
"Hiding what, Dagur?" Stoick asked.
"Do I look stupid to you?" Dagur asked.
"Trick question; don't answer it." Gobber whispered to Stoick.
"We both know what's going on here. I have an excellent authority that you're amassing an army of dragons." Dagur said pointing an odd shaped battle axe at them.
"Excellent authority?" Stoick asked. "And who would that be, Dagur?"
"Never mind, just know that if I find it to be true than my armada will attack with the force of 50,000 brave Berserker soldiers." Dagur said and his soldiers stood to attention.
"Stand down, Dagur. There won't be any need for the armada. Now let's get to the treaty." Stoick said and Hiccup ran towards the village.
"Yes, let's." Dagur said strapping his battle axe to his back. "According to the treat, my visit starts with a tour of berk, the armoury, the feast in the great hall, the killing arena. You do still kill dragons here, Hmm?" He said counting them off his fingers.
"Your father never found the tour necessary." Stoick said.
"As you can see, I'm not my father. Am I?" Dagur taunted. The two stared at each other and then Dagur smirked. Stoick reached for the sword on his belt but Gobber stopped him.
"Not in front of the armada." Gobber warned pointing at the hundreds of Berserker ships out at sea.
Meanwhile Hiccup ran into the village panicking.
"Oh, this is bad, this is bad. This is really bad. We have to find that Zippleback!" Hiccup said as they ran.
Astrid then pulled them aside. "Guys we have a problem." She said.
"Oh yeah, you're telling me? Dagur's the new Berserker chief!" Hiccup said.
"What?" Astrid gasped.
"Yeah, his father 'retired'!" Hiccup said..
"And he thinks we're hiding dragons." Hiccup explained.
"Well, we kind of are. Which brings us to our next problem." Astrid said pointing down.
Hiccup looked down and saw a fresh Hideous Zippleback foot prints. "Huh, Barf? Belch? Here?" Hiccup gasped. They heard a roar and saw Barf and Belch eating a basket of fish. They looked fever ahead and saw Stoick, Gobber and Dagur walking towards them. Without a moment thought the three of them ran up to Barf and Belch and lifted the basket of fish out of the way and Barf and Belch followed them. They were just in time because five seconds later Dagur would have seen them.
"And we're walking, walking." Gobber said. They then stopped outside the food storage house. "Here we have our food storage. It's where we... well."
"Ooh, ooh! Let me guess... store your food." Dagur said rolling his eyes.
"No wonder they made him chief." Gobber muttered.
They then entered the food storage house just as Barf and Belch ran past with Hiccup and their majesties on their tails.
"Barf, Belch, come back here!" Celesto whispered. The second they ran past Dagur walked out. "Boring!" Dagur sang. "I want to see the dragon killing things!"
"Follow me." Stoick muttered and they made their way to the armory.
"Where did they go?" Astrid asked panicking.
"I have no idea. You keep looking, and I'll go warn my dad." Hiccup said.
Then he ran towards the armory leaving Astrid behind.
Meanwhile in the armory, Dagur got his hands on a sword and begin to swing it around.
"You want some of this, Gronckle? How 'bout you, Nadder? That's right; plead. Plead for your pathetic dragon lives." Dagur said and threw the sword into a shield between Stoick and Gobber.
"He's really got a handle on that whole "deranged" thing." Gobber said.
"I'm about to make him eat this sword." Stoick said and pulled the sword from the shield. Dagur had already gotten a hold of his own sword and swung it around wildly.
"Why don't we get to signing that treaty now?" Gobber asked quickly and put a hand in front of him.
"Sounds like my father." Dagur muttered. "'Sign the treaty, Dagur.' 'Leave that chicken alone, Dagur!' 'Ooh, ooh! Put down that axe, Dagur!'" He mocked.
"Your father was a great man, and I'll not have you disrespect him." Stoick said stepped foward.
"My father was… a coward. I intend to return the Berserkers to their former glory. Something he was… incapable of doing."
Barf and Belch ran past the door outside with Astrid following them. "Zippleback." Stoick breathed.
"I knew it! Where is it?" Dagur said as drew the sword and pointed it around towards the door. "Let me kill it!"
Gobber feigned laughter and quickly shut the door. "He's joking Dagur! That Stoick, always the prankster." He said then he placed his hook on his shoulder. "Tell me Dagur, what are some of your deranged plans for the Berserker tribe?"
Meanwhile Hiccup was outside the armory looking for Barf and Belch.
"Barf? Belch?" Hiccup whispered. He then looked up and saw Barf and Belch on the roof of the armory looking down at them and somehow Melody is with them?!
"Melody?! What are you doing here?!" Celestia hissed. The baby Death Song flew into her arms and whimpered. "She didn't want to be away from you." Hiccup said.
"Oh Melody. You have to. To be safe." Celestia cooed. Melody cooed and flew back onto Barf and Belch. "Guys you can't be here!" Hiccup whispered.
"Oh, come on. We need to think like Ruffnut and Tuffnut, I can't believe I just said that. Barf sky!" He ordered and began to try and wave them off but they didn't move.
They then heard Dagur's voice came closer to the door and it opened. Hiccup winced as Dagur opened the door. "Nice weapons, very clean, no blood stains, pity. Ah, Hiccup, there you are, great."
"Dagur! I was just thinking about you. Hey, remember that time we went swimming and you tried to drown me?" Hiccup said and gave a nervous laugh.
"Oh, the laughs we had. Bored again!" Dagur said and walked past them. "Just a moment. Something is going on here." He said stopping and turned to face them.
"I can explain." Hiccup said.
"Where is it?" Dagur asked.
"Your leg Hiccup." Dagur interrupted. They looked up and saw that Barf and Belch and Melody were gone. "Never mind, I heard all about it."
"You heard all about what?" Hiccup asked.
"You. The Red Death. Defeated it all on your own." Dagur said looking at Hiccup closely and then looked at Ragnar. "I also heard that your real father was Alvin the Treacherous."
"Yeah, that's true but I'm nothing like him." Ragnar said crossing his arms.
"Then you and me have something in common." Dagur muttered and then looked at Hiccup. "But back to you and killing the Red Death."
"Wha-Me? Look at me. How is that even possible?" Hiccup asked as if it was a joke.
"Right? That's what I thought, too." Dagur said and Hiccup gave a sigh of relief. "But then I heard about the trained dragons and it got me, well, uh, kind of tingly."
"Train dragons? How would you train dragons?" Hiccup asked.
"I don't know. How would you?" Dargur asked tauntingly.
"Alright then. Whose hungry?" Hiccup asked to break the tension.
Stoick finally came outside and looked at Dagur. "It's this way, Dagur." He said.
"I said this way, Dagur!" Stoick repeated and pushed him on then turned back to Hiccup and their majesties. "You guys get those dragons dragon under control."
They all ran to the back of the armory and found out that Toothless had been pulling on Barf and Belch tails.
"We need the twins." Hiccup said.
Later that evening their majesties, Hiccup and Astrid entered the twins house.
Then Tuffnut swung down between them. He had his legs wrapped around a wooden beam. "What are you guys doing here?" Tuffnut asked.
"Hey, Tuffnut, feel like talking?" Hiccup asked.
"Um, can you come down?" Astrid asked.
"Whatever." Tuffnut said and backed flipped to the floor. "Whoa. Yeah, I love that part."
"Look, about Barf and Belch, we need you and Ruffnut to get your dragon under control." Hiccup said.
"Uh-Uh. No. No, thank you. I am officially out of the dragon business, and the sister business, and the dragon and sister business: The dristisderness." Tuffnut said.
"What's going on with you two?" Astrid asked.
"Simple. You know what this is?" Tuffnut asked holding up a spoon.
"Uh, a spoon?" Hiccup answered.
"No it's our spoon. Just like this is our dish, and our axe, and our well groomed stuff yak." Tuffnut said pointing at the stuff he mentioned. "Everything is ours. I'm sick of ours. Just once I want something to be just mine. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go pack up my half of the yak." He said as he picked up a satchel.
"Go? Where?" Hiccup asked.
"I don't know. To my dark, soggy alone place. Not to cry. This house, it has too many memories." Tuffnut said and walked out of the house.
"Tuff!" Hiccup yelled as the three of them watched him walk away.
"Dark, soggy alone place?" Astrid asked.
"Yeah, I really don't want to know." Hiccup said.
Later that night, Hiccup and their majesties joined Stoick, Gobber and Dagur as they feast with the Berserkers in the great hall.
"Did you get that Zippleback under control?" Stoick asked in a whisper.
"We're working on it." Hiccup whispered.
"A toast! To death in battle!" Dagur said and raised his mug into the air.
The rest of the Vikings stood up with their mugs in the air and cheered "To your father! To Oswald!" Gobber said.
Dagur sat back down with a glare on his face. "Fine, whatever. 'To Oswald! To Oswald! To Oswald!' Bladady Bladady Bla!" He mocked then got out a knife and drove into the bowl sitting in front of him with absolute anger coursing through him.
"Well, on that cheery note, shall we sign the treaty and send you on your way?" Gobber suggested holding out a piece of parchment with Norse letters on it.
"Great idea! Let's sign that treat. Bring us the dragon's blood!" Dagur announced.
"Uh, did you say dragon's blood?" Hiccup asked.
"Well, this is going to be fun." Ragnar muttered.
Stoick gave somewhat of a nervous laugh and stood up. "Don't be ridiculous, Dagur. Your father and I haven't signed in dragon's blood for years." He said.
"Why would that be a problem, Stoick? Unless, of course, you don't kill dragons anymore." Dagur said the last part tauntingly.
"We still kill dragons." Stoick said.
"The problem is; we've killed so many there isn't a dragon within two hundred miles of here." Gobber explained. Then there was a banging on the door and Barf and Belch burst through the door. "Except that one."
Barf and Belch then ran back outside. "A Zippleback! And a baby Death Song! It's a sign! A head for each chief!" Dagur laughed and pounded a fist against the table then shook Stoick by the arms with excitement. "It's going to be amazing!" He stood on the table and threw his knife down. "Tonight, we hunt dragon!"
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Berserker soldiers cheered.
"You need to find those dragons before he does." Stoick whispered to Hiccup.
The next day Hiccup and the other Viking teens were flying on their dragons looking for the twins.
"Hiccup, you heard Tuffnut, he went to his dark, soggy, alone place. That could be anywhere." Astrid said.
"Not really. That could only be one place." Snotlout said and everyone gave looks of disbelief. "What?"
"Why didn't you say something?" Hiccup asked.
"Why didn't you ask?" Snotlout asked.
"Snotlout, we've been looking for them all day." Astrid said angrily.
"And?" Snotlout asked.
"And if you don't tell us right now, I'm going to throw you off that dragon!" Astrid threatened.
"No need to get violent. He's probably at the lost cavern. They used to play hide and go kill there when they were kids." Snotlout explained.
"Astrid, you and Snotlout go and check the south entrance of the cavern. Celestia, Celesto, Fishlegs and I will take the north." He said and we broke away to go to the other ends of the cavern.
"Let's go." Astrid said looking at Snotlout who raised an eyebrow. Astrid groaned knowing what he was thinking.
Once Hiccup, Ragnar and Fishlegs were at the cavern, Hiccup stood in front of the cave with a torch in his hand.
"Alright bud, do your thing. Search." Hiccup said giving him 'search' gesture. Toothless gave a low grumble and they entered the cavern.
Meanwhile Astrid and Snotlout had reached the south entrance. Astrid was leading the way with a touch in her hand.
"Pretty dark in here. If you need to hold my hand, Astrid, it's okay." Snotlout said as the entered the cavern.
"Sure Snotlout." Astrid said giving him smile.
Snotlout grabbed it without even looking. "Ooh. Soft as I thought it would be." He said. He turned to look and saw he was holding Stormfly's tail and let it go instantly.
Meanwhile Hiccup, their majesties and Fishlegs followed Toothless and saw Tuffnut leaning against a large rock.
"Tuffnut?" Hiccup said.
"Ugh, you guys. Would you quit following me?" Tuffnut said annoyed.
"Ruffnut!" Astrid called out.
"Would you quit following me?" Ruffnut's voice asked.
"Did you guys hear that?" Hiccup asked.
"Duh, it's called an echo." Snotlout said walking out behind the rock.
Then Ruffnut head poked out and Tuffnut poked his head out. It would seem that the two of them had hiding from each other but have only been a few feet apart.
"Toothless, plasma blast." Hiccup ordered. Toothless tilted his head up and fired into the air.
"What are you doing in my soggy place?" Tuffnut asked standing up.
"This is my soggy place and I'm not sharing it with you." Ruffnut responded standing up as well.
"Okay, listen, please. We need to get you guys to your dragon. It's important." Hiccup said dropping the touch.
"Melody, Barf and Belch are in real trouble." Astrid said.
"I'll go with but not with her." Tuffnut said stubbornly.
"I'm not going anywhere with her either." Ruffnut said being just as stubborn.
"Yeah! Wait, what?" Tuffnut said.
"No, you don't understand. You both have to go." Hiccup said. The two turned from each other and stared at the ground. "Guys, listen; like it or not, you are connected to each other and the two of you are connected to that dragon. Just like me with Toothless."
"And me with Stormfly." Astrid said as she pet Stormfly's nose.
"And us and Dusk and Dawn and Melody." Celestia added.
"Us too." Fishlegs added.
"We can get you another spoon, another dish, another stuffed yak; what we can't get you is another Barf and Belch and we can't get their majesties another Melody." Tuffnut sighed and the two looked away. They were both think about what Hiccup said and gave glances towards each other. "Do you think they got any of that?" He asked.
"Fine." Tuffnut said. The two spit in their palms and shook each other's hand then banged their heads together. "You know, I did spit a little more on my hand."
"They got it." Astrid said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go, we're out of time." Hiccup said.
"So why is this so important anyway?" Tuffnut asked.
"The Berserkers are holding down your dragon to use its blood for ink." Snotlout said quickly and nonchalantly. Everyone gave looks of disbelief towards his insensitivity, but he only shrugged, "What? Is that not what's happening?"
Moments later they were flying over the forest looking for Barf and Belch and Melody. Tuffnut was riding with Hiccup and Ruffnut was riding with Astrid. They then saw Barf and Belch and Melody through a clearing and tried to walk their own separate ways, which didn't work since they were attached to each other.
"Okay, let's get you guys down there." Hiccup said.
They were about to fly to the ground, but it was too late, Berserker soldiers came out of nowhere and threw ropes around their necks and dragged the two to the ground. Melody fell to the ground where a solider grabbed her.
"No!" Tuffnut yelled.
"Melody!" their majesties cried. Quickly they all dove their dragons down and hid them in the tall branches of the thick trees surrounding us. "What are we doing here? We have to get our dragon!" Tuffnut exclaimed.
"And our baby!" Celestia stated.
"We can't afford to be spotted by the Berserkers." Hiccup said.
They watch helplessly as Dagur approaches the downed Barf and Belch. Dagur pulls out his sword with relish, points it mockingly in the dragon's face, and then brought it down for a killing blow. But then he was blocked by Stoick's sword.
Dagur glared up at him. "How dare you?" He said furiously.
"How dare you? We're supposed to slay this dragon together, and that's what we'll do, in the arena, where dragon killing is done." Stoick said firmly.
Dagur glared and put his sword away in its sheath. "To the arena!" He said to his Berserker soldiers.
They then dragged Barf and Belch away. Once they were gone everyone landed on the ground.
"The chief's not going to let them kill our dragon." Tuffnut said. "Is he?" Both Ruffnut and Tuffnut asked.
"He won't have a choice unless we can figure out a plan." Hiccup said.
"I have a plan." Snotlout said. "One word: annihilate!" He made a pointed gesture just as he did in the arena. Hookfang blew fire over Snotlout's head and hit the back of his helmet and that moment. "Hookfang!" He said glaring at him.
"Or not." Astrid said.
"Actually, that could work!" Hiccup said.
In the arena, Barf and Belch were tired down unable to escape by some Berserker soldiers. Melody was still in the hands of one of them.
"According to the treaty, the killing of the dragon must be-" Gobber said reading the treaty.
"Bored!" Dagur interrupted and towards Barf and Belch with sword in hand. "I want the head on the right."
"I'm putting a stop to this. If it means war, it means war." Stoick said looking at Gobber.
Dargur approaches Barf and raised his sword ready to strike. Barf cowers and whimpers in fear and tried to break free. Melody whimpered at the sight and squirmed in the soldiers grip. "Hey!" the baby Death Song broke free and flew over to Dagur knocking him in the head. "What the- Hey!" Stoick and Gobber were shocked. Melody spit amber at Dagur hitting his arm. "What is this stuff?!"
Then, they heard Hiccup's voice. "Help! Dragon attack!" Hiccup shouted as he, Astrid and Fishlegs ran in.
"The dragons are attacking!" Astrid called out.
Hookfang sticks his head through the chain roof and Snotlout who was standing outside gave him the 'annihilate' gesture that Hookfang followed. Hookfang then blasted fire at the Berserkers who are holding Barf and Belch captive..
"What is going on?" Gobber asked.
"Gobber, dragon attack." Stoick emphasized.
It took a second to click in Gobber's head then he came to the realization. "Oh, dragon attack! Everyone out of here!" He yelled.
Stormfly, Dusk and Dawn and Meatlug then came swooping into the arena and the Berserkers soldiers readied their weapons. Astrid gave Stormfly a 'tail spine attack' command and she fired several spikes at a Berserkers soldier. Fishlegs gave Meatlug a 'hug' command and she slammed into a Berserkers soldier. Their majesties gave Dusk and Dawn the 'fire cyclone' command and they performed their cyclone and flapped their wings, making it hit the soliders.
"We must protect our honored guests." Gobber said tried to escort Dagur away from the battle.
"Run if you want, but Dagur the Deranged will not retreat!" Dagur said and turned to face the now freed Barf and Belch.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut were standing above the arena's entrance and gave them a 'gas' and 'spark' command this time one at a time. They obeyed the commands and sent Dagur flying back by a huge wall of flame. Then the twins gave them the a 'Attack' commanded and 'Bite.' The two then gave a 'come' gesture and the Barf and Belch began to walk out.
Dagur got up and saw them leaving and grabbed a spear and threw it straight at them. At that moment Toothless and Dusk and Dawn leaped into the arena and grabbed the spear in his jaws. Dusk and Dawn growled at Dagur.
"Night Furies, they do exist! And a Titan Wing Zippleback!" Dagur said.
"Back, you fiend. You will not harm my friend Dagur." Hiccup said carrying a dagger and shield. He then hit Dagur in the face with his shield to make it look like an accident then pointed down so Toothless would pick up his 'plasma blast' gesture. Toothless then fired a plasma blast and Hiccup shoved Dagur away toward the entrance and the Berserkers soldiers followed him.
"Please, Dagur, save yourself" Hiccup said. Then Toothless knocked him to the ground and Stoick ran up and pretends to unsuccessfully pull Toothless off his son by the tail. "You owe it to your people!"
"Berserkers, to the boats!" Dagur yelled as Hookfang fired down at them.
Then Dagur and the Berserkers soldiers ran out of the arena. Gobber ran out after them holding up the treaty. "What about the treaty?" He asked.
"Consider it signed!" Dagur yelled.
Once they were sure Dagur and his soldiers were gone everyone stopped fighting.
"Well done, Hiccup. I doubt we'll be seeing much more of Dagur the Deranged." Stoick said.
"Let's hope not." Hiccup said.
Later that evening everyone was cleaning up after the fake dragon attack. Stoick and Gobber told their majesties about Melodys' attack on Dagur. "She acutally fired at him?" Celesto asked.
"Yes and it made it's mark." Gobber stated.
Melody cooed and nuzzled Celesto. Celesto picked her up, "Hehe, your one amazing baby, Melody."
Melody cooed and nudged his chest. Meanwhile, Snotloud was cleaning up with the twins nearby.
"I still think Dagur's pretty cool." Snotlout said to the twins.
The twins looked at each other and grinned and ordered Barf and Belch to 'gas' and 'spark' Snotlout. His eyes widened and there was an explosion. They banged their head together affectionately and Barf and Belch followed right after.
My Brave Pony: How to Train Your Dragon
Every year on Berk, we come together to test our strength, endurance, and courage in the annual Thawfest games. For some of us, it's not such a great time of year. In fact, Snotlout and his family have won every single year. But the first Thawfest Games that had been celebrated after the Dragon War has had a few changers meaning my old friend Hiccup the Useful has a chance to win because for the first time ever, the Thawfest Games will include dragons.
In the arena where the safety cage had been raisin and benches had been set up all along the rim. Banners and other decorations had been posted all around, especially at the entrance for the Thawfest Games. Gobber was explaining the changers that had happened to the Viking teens. Today he had a flag as his prosthetic.
"Dragons are now officially a part of Thawfest!" Gobber announced. "There'll be three additional events." he lectured. "The first is the flying & shoot, which will require you to fly straight and shoot straighter." He explained but then ducked as Ruffnut and Tuffnut fired a shot from their Barf and Belch.
"Sorry! We're on the wrong heads." Tuffnut said.
"I knew something felt weird!" Ruffnut said as they switched dragon head. They shot another blast, Gobber ducked in time but his flag got caught on fire.
"Ah, much better." Tuffnut sighed.
"Next is the freestyle." Gobber continued blowing the fire out on his flag. "It's up to you to impress the judges with a trick of your choice."
They looked up and saw Astrid was flying in circles on Stormfly, doing a bunch of cautious experimental acrobatics. "That it girl, just like we practice."
"Ah, the Nadder wing-walk. Impressive, Astrid." Gobber complimented.
"Uh, excuse me." Fishlegs said rasing his hand. "Meatlug and I were wondering if there were going to be any intellectual events a puzzle perhaps." Fishlegs said.
"I'll take that under advisement, Fishlegs." Gobber said patting his shoulder. "And let's not forget the hurdles! You'll be asked to-." Gobber was interrupted when they heard a loud cheer rang out into the air they looked up to see Snotlout and Hookgang flying towards them. Snotlout and Hookfang landed heavily on the ground kicking up a large quantity of dust into the air, causing Hiccup to cough as it got in his face.
Snotlout dismounts and walked up them. He was wearing all the medals that he has won over the previous years. "You know what I love the most about the Thawfestival Games?" Snotlout asked glancing at them. "Winning! Want to touch one of my medals, just to see what it feels like to be a winner?" He bragged, holding out a medal.
Hiccup and his friends informed their majesties about Thawfest. To them, it sounded like
I think I'll pass." Hiccup muttered.
"My family has never lost a Thawfest Game. Ever!" Snotlout bragged.
"Here we go…" Astrid sighed crossing her arms.
"Dragons or no dragons, I'm going to do what I do every year – bring glory to my clan. And you, Useless, will do what you do embarrass yours." Snotlout said backing away to Hookfang.
"Ahem." their majesties coughed, giving Snotloud an upset look. Dusk and Dawn had the same look.
"Eh... besides you two, your majesties." Snotloud said, quickly. "Let's go Hookfang." Snotlout said jumping onto Hookfang. Hookfang jumped up in surprise and Snotlout ended up dangling upside down from his neck as he flew off "I will crush you all!" He cried as they flew off into the distance.
Later that night at Hiccup's house, Hiccup was drawing some designs on a sheet of parchment. Hiccup picked up a long coil of measuring tape off the desk and started measuring Toothless.
That moment Stoick and their majesties walked in and looked down at Hiccup.
"What are you two working on?" Stoick asked curiously.
"Just some ideas for Thawfest." Hiccup said casually turning back to the tired Night Fury.
"Right… right… excellent." Stoick said and fell silent to watch him work.
"So… did you need something dad?" Hiccup asked a moment later.
"Oh, well – uh – with the dragons you could actually, uh…" Stoick said trying to find the right words.
"Beat Snotlout? Best the Jorgensons?" Hiccup finished standing up.
"Well, when you put it that way it does have a nice ring." Stoick said chuckling. There was a moment of silences and Stoick rubbed his hand together. "Okay, then! I'll let you get back to whatever it is – uh – you two do. Yeah!"
Stoick then walked down the stairs awkwardly. Hiccup couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. Hiccup then continued doing his work and couldn't help but smile on the look on Snotlout's face if he won the Thawfest Games. "So Celestia, Celesto what tricks are you two gonna do with Dusk and Dawn?" he asked.
"Tricks?" Celesto repeated. "Hmmm... haven't really thought of any tricks with them."
"What about their fire cyclone?" Hiccup suggested.
"That can work but we need some more tricks for them." Celestia said.
"Well, maybe I can help you two come up with some." Hiccup offered.
"Thanks Hiccup." Celestia said. Hiccup smiled and talked with their majesties about some tricks for their Zippleback at Thawfest.
The next morning marked the start of the Thawfestival Games and everyone was at the arena. On the cliff wall were crude pictures of the Viking teen's faces in order to keep score. Stoick stood on a wooden stage looking up at the cheering crowd.
"Let the Thawfestival Games begin!" Stoick yelled, throwing out his arms out.
Everyone cheered as Stoick opened a chest and a multi coloured Terrible Terrors flew out. Down at the entrance Spitelout was strongly urges his son on.
"What are we?" Spiteloout asked cheering.
"We're killers!" Snotlout answered.
"What do we do?" Spitelout asked cheering.
"We kill!" Snotlout answered.
"What do we say?" Spitelout asked cheering.
"Snotlout! Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi!" They both cheered and slammed their head together. The Viking teens were ready for the first event. The Sheep Lug all they had to do was carry a sheep on their back and run towards the finishing line.
Mulch and Bucket were sitting in a podium doing the the announcers.
"The contestants are now lining up for the Sheep Lug!" Mulch yelled out to the crowd using a horn to make his voice heard.
"It's a good day for lugging sheep, Mulch." Bucket added.
"Well, Bucket, every day is a good day for lugging sheep!" Mulch said chuckling. "But this year at Thawfest, we have two new contestants. Celestia and Celesto with their Titan Wing Zippleback, Dusk and Dawn. Will these newbies have what it takes? Let's find out."
Gobber then placed a sheep on each of the Viking teen's and their majesties backs. "On your mark…" Mulch called and everyone walked over to the start line. "Get set…" They then bent down on one knee. Mulch then whacked Bucket's bucket with his hook, producing an audible ring that signaled the start of the event.
They all took off at a run, with Snotlout quickly taking the lead. Astrid was a close second. Hiccup was in third and the twins quickly abandoned the race when Tuffnut bumped into Ruffnut, which caused her to retaliate. Soon they were brawling off to the side as Fishlegs collapsed on to his knees near them. Their majesties didn't run at first but they shrugged and zipped off towards the finish line, actually passing Snotlout, like bullets. "What?!" he cried. Their majesties crossed the finish line and gently placed the sheep on the ground.
"And the first point of the Thawfest Games goes to Celestia and Celesto!" Mulch announced. Spitelout was shocked at the sudden win by their majesties.
Hiccup struggled to get up after his sheep got off of him. "Still didn't change the result." Hiccup said pointing at the cliff.
They looked up and saw Bucket place a blue line next to the their majesties faces.
The Viking teens had an hour break as the adults set up the next event. The Log Roll where they had to run on a suspended log without falling off. The Viking teens were all perched on a giant log held up by two supports. There were also flour sacks at the bottom to break their fall.
"Next is your traditional Log Roll event!" Mulch shouted into his horn.
"Enjoy your faceplant." Snotlout snickered.
They all began running on the log, causing it to spin rapidly. The first one off was Astrid who got whacked by Fishlegs' arm with him soon following. Then Ruffnut and Tuffnut tripped and ended up rolling with the log and they slammed into the far wall. Hiccup was the only one left but soon hid prosthetic caught in a groove on the log and fell head first into the sacks. Snotlout just kept running, holding his arms in the air triumphantly, but he turned and saw their majesties still on the log!
"What the-?" The two of them had their wings out to help keep them balanced.
"And another point goes to Snotlout and their majesties!!" Mulch cheered as Bucket painted another long blue line next to Snotlout and their majesties face.
Hiccup had problems getting out of the flour sacks as his head and arms were trapped in there. Toothless ran over from the side-lines and picked him up by the back of the neck. "Thank you… Toothless." Hiccup muttered rubbing my sore back.
Again there was another hour break as the adults set up the final event of the day the Axe Throwing event. All the Viking teens, Celestia and Celesto had to do was throw their axes to a target and whoever gets closest to the mark wins.
Targets were set up on the far side of the arena and they were all supplied with axes to throw at them.
"Next is the Axe Throwing contest!" Mulch helpfully announced. "Where accuracy is supreme!"
Snotlout threw his axe and it landed in the middle of the target. "Bulls-eye!" Mulch cried.
Astrid and Fishlegs threw their axes at the same time but Fishlegs' poor throw caused the two weapons to clatter to the ground. Ruffnut and Tuffnut both missed spectacularly, Ruffnut's headed straight for Stoick who caught it in mid-air and Tuffnut's headed straight at the crowd where it nearly cut a Viking's head off. Hiccup threw his axe and at first it looked like it was going to be a bulls-eye, but it fell short of the target. Their majesties took and deep breath, each holding two axes in their hands. They threw their axes, hitting all the targets right in the center. The crowd cheered for them.
Snotlout went to pick the axe up. "Here's how it's done dragon boy." Snotlout said smugly. He then began to throw all the axes he could get with his back to the target. Amazingly all the axes hit the target all of them hitting the center.
"Show off!" Hiccup muttered.
Spitelout gave a mighty whoop at Snotlout's performance. He got up and looked straight at Stoick who was sitting on his thrown watching the whole advent with Gobber sitting by his side also on a throne.
"Why don't you give us the medal now, Stoick?" Spitelout taunted. "You'll save your boy the embarrassment!"
"Why don't you sit back down, Spitelout." Stoick said fiercely. Spitelout sat down saying nothing.
"Don't let him get to you." Gobber advised.
"He's been getting to me for years." Stoick reminded him. "Why should today be any different?"
"Well for one thing, their majesties seem to be winning so that's something." Gobber said.
"Yeah.. I guess you have a point." Stoick stated.
At the end of the day, Hiccup stared at the scoreboard. Their majesties and Snotlout were tied for first place each with all three points. "Well, dead last again." Hiccup muttered to himself.
"Wow, I have all the points and the best looking picture?" Snotlout said walking up to them. "Unfair!"
"Uh, Snotlout, you do know their majesties are tied with you, right?" Astrid asked with her arms crossed.
"I-I know that!" Snotlout exclaimed.
"Then you know that you might not win this year." Astrid added.
Snotlout growled, "Shut up, Astrid."
Fishlegs came over to their majesties. "I've got to say, you two are doing pretty well for your first Thawfest."
"Thank you, Fishlegs." Celestia said. Snotlout growled and walked off in a huff. "What's wrong with Snotlout?" Celesto asked.
"He's just full of hot air." Astrid said.
That night, Snotloud returned to his hut and found his dad there. "Hi dad." he greeted.
"Ah there's my boy. Future winner of the Thawfest." Spitelout stated.
"Maybe. Celestia and Celesto are tied with me for first place." Snotloud explained.
"Well there can be only one winner." Spiteloud grumbled. "And that winner will be you and I think I know how to stop those two tomorrow."
Snotloud smiled at father and they both chuckled. It was time for a little Jorgenson gameplay.
The next day started the dragon events of the Thawfest Games. All the Viking teens and their majesties gathered in the arena, alongside their dragons. The arena was already set up for the first of the events, The Hurdles, where the the gang and their Dragon have to fly under large hurdles without hitting them. In the arena logs were stacked up and were in a lined in the arena, through the exit.
"Welcome today to day two of the Thawfest Games! Let the dragon events begin!" Mulch shouted through the horn. He was greeted by enthusiastic cheers from the other Vikings.
"It's a good day for lugging sheep, Mulch." Bucket said helpfully and Mulch gave him an encouraging nod.
"First up, The Hurdles!" Mulch announced.
"Hurdles, shmurdles." Snotlout said cockily. "I could make it over those things in my sleep."
"Be my guess." Hiccup said gesturing to them.
"You don't go over them Snotlout, you go under them." Astrid explained shaking her head.
"Duh, I knew that." Snotlout said plainly.
"And first up is Fishlegs!" Mulch yelled.
Fishlegs and Meatlug took off at a confident buzz. They approached the first hurdle and ended up stuck underneath it. "Uh, guys, a little help over here!" Fishlegs groaned and looked down to Meatlug, "Don't worry, girl, this just isn't our event."
Then it was Astrid and Stormfly turn. They magnificently through each of the hurdles, but just as they were approaching the end, Astrid bumped her head on one of the logs.
Next were the twins. They made it through the first few hurdles with some ease, but then they mixed up and Barf and Belch ended up with the second hurdle caught between their necks and the sudden halt caused the twins to fly off and into the audience.
Their majesties and their Zippleback went next. Even thought Dusk and Dawn were large than Barf and Belch, the dragon successfully made it through the hurdles no problem. "And their majesties and their Zippleback make a clean run!" Mulch announced. "Hehe, good boys." Celesto praised, getting a small roar from their dragon.
"Where's your book, Hiccup? You might want to take notes!" Snotlout taunted.
Snotlout and Hookfang took their turn. Hookfang jumped forward and skimmed the ground, gliding under the first hurdles. It would have been a perfect run if Snotlout remembered to duck and instead ended up banged his head on each and every one of the hurdles.
Final it was Hiccup and Toothless' turn. "Let's show them how it's done, bud." Hiccup said.
Toothless then shot forward and at the last instant he flipped upside down. They streaked under each of the hurdles in this position, without missing a single one.
"And Hiccup makes a perfect run!" Mulch announced.
Bucket then painted a long blue line next to Hiccup and their majesties picture on the scoreboard. Stoick smiled and looked on proudly while Spitelout was the opposite. Once Toothless landed on the other side of the line of hurdles, Hiccup let out an overexcited laugh.
"Did you hear what he said?" Hiccup asked enthusiastically. "Perfect! I believe that those are my first Thawfest points, ever! I just realized something… I like beating Snotlout. I feel taller, am I taller? Never mind, don't answer that."
Just then Hookfang swooped in next to Hiccup. "Don't get too excited." Snotlout warned menacingly and held up a finger. "You know what this is? The number of wins I need to end this thing. And you know what this is?" He asked holding up a second finger. "The number of chances I have."
"Ahem." Their majesties landed next to Hookfang, interpreting they were in the lead now.
Like yesterday the Viking teens and their majesties had an hour break as the adults sent things up for the next event. The next event was The Freestyle all they had to do was perform amazing tricks of their choice while the judges judge them. The three judges each give awards out three depending on their preferment's.
"Next we have the freestyle event! Contestants and their dragons will show off their style and abilities!" Mulch announced.
First were Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Ruffnut was on Tuffnut shoulders while he in turn had a foot on each of Barf and Belch's necks while flying around.
"Check this one out!" Ruffnut called.
"We call it the Iron Split!" Tuff said.
But then Barf and Belch's heads separated slightly. When that happened, he was pretty much forced to split and Tuffnut then held his groin in pain. The judges looked bored as they wrote out the twins' scores. They got a measly two out of nine.
Next were Fishlegs and Meatlug. They were flying in fast and ever-tightening circles around the arena.
"We like to call this next feat of daring the Extreme Butterfly!" Fishlegs announced. But soon, Meatlug's maneuverability wasn't able to keep up with the speed of her increasingly sharp turns, and they spun uncontrollably off into a corner.
The judges gave him a four out of nine. "It's okay, girl." Fishlegs said quietly to a dizzy Meatlug. "This isn't our event either."
Astrid and Stormfly were next, impressing the crowd with a series of acrobatics from Stormfly's back. "The Balance Dance." Fishlegs said as the crowd oohed and aahed. "How does she make it look so easy?"
"How come you can't do that? I mean… I could." Tuffnut asked looking at his sister. Ruffnut just slapped him to the ground annoyed.
The judges were very impressed and gave her a seven out of nine.
Next were Hiccup and Toothless and they started by shooting up into the sky and then performed a power dive at a sharp descending angle. As they neared a nearby sea stack, they veered up and then performed a series of aerial somersaults. Hiccup clicked the stirrup once and they leveled out again, soaring back to the arena and landing elegantly on the floor.
"Yeah baby!" Hiccup yelled at the top of his lungs.
The judges were so impressed that they gave him a nine out of nine.
Next, was their majesties. They dismounted their dragon and gave the 'fire cyclone' hand signal. Their dragons flew around in circles and Dusk let out some gas, which moved in the shape of a cyclone and Dawn ignited it, setting the cyclone a flame. "Now boys, ride it!" Celesto ordered. Dusk and Dawn flew right for the cylcone and climbed up, turning the cyclone into a fire trail. The Zippleback flew up and flew in a circle, trailing the fire trail.
Everyone gasped in awe. Dusk and Dawn flew back down and landed on the ground, making the fire trail vanish.
The judges were very impress and gave them a perfect score. Dusk and Dawn nuzzled their riders. "Hehe, good job boys." Celesto said.
"Prefect work." Celestia added, both earning them a lick from their dragon.
Finally Snotlout and Hookfang were next. Snotlout positioned himself confidently in a standing-up position on Hookfang's neck.
"I hear Snotlout's going to do a trick called the 'Rings of Deadly Fire'. No one's ever tried it before." Tuffnut said.
"Yeah, because it's too dangerous?" Ruffnut hazarded.
"No, because he just made it up!" Tuffnut exclaimed.
"I'm probably going to win just for coming up with this," Snotlout bragged.
Snotlout then clamped his hands onto Hookfang's horns for balance. The Monstrous Nightmare made a wide upwards circle before coming back down toward the arena. "Fire!" Snotlout called, and Hookfang obediently shot a stream of flame that set the massive rings alight.
Snotlout's face tightened with determination, but as Hookfang saw the flaming rings coming closer towards him, he panicked and pulled up at the last second, trying to avoid the fire. Snotlout however lost his balance and was flung towards the rings and he slammed into them and they tumbled apart in a huge pile of fire and wood. Snotlout came out of the pile screaming with pain, his pants lit up in flames.
The crowd laughed at the ridiculous sight as Snotlout jumped into the trough of water off to the side. The only one who wasn't laughing was Spitelout who looked on with a disappointing scale. Snotlout looked towards the judges and saw the that they gave him nothing.
"I get the rings and the fire part, but where's the death?" Tuffnut asked looking confused as did his sister "I feel cheated."
Again there was another hour break as things got set up for the final advent. Snotlout, meanwhil,e was looking up at the scoreboard. Silently Hiccup walked up towards him with a big smirk on his face.
"Wow, Snotlout." Hiccup commented, causing him to turn around glaring at him. "Your dad looks really mad right now."
Snotlout looked up to see Spitelout shaking his head at his son disappointedly. "What do you know?" Snotlout said rudely.
"Snotlout, are you okay?" Celestia asked.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." he said quickly. Things were set up for the final advent. The Fly & Shoot were the rider and their dragon have fly through a maze and shoot. Points were added if they shoot an Outcast and points are taken away if they shot a Hairy Hooligans. Snotlout and Spiteloud looked at each other from a far and gave them a thumbs up while looking at their majesties who were petting their dragon. They quietly laughed evilly.
"The contestants are lining up for the Fly & Shoot. Where they must shoot down their enemies and spare their friends!" Mulch announced. He then clanged his hook on Bucket's bucket to signal the start of advent.
Everyone did decently well, but there were inevitably a few mistakes made. The twins only hit two Outcasts and three Hairy Hooligans. Fishlegs and Meatlug missed everyone one of the targets and once again Fishlegs told Meatlug that this wasn't their advent. Astrid and Stormfly shot four Outcasts.
Then it was Hiccup and Toothless turn. They began very well shooting four Outcasts. While Hiccup wasn't looking an Outcast target showed up behind him. Luckily Toothless saw it out of the corn of his eye and shot it.
"Thanks, bud. I didn't see that one." Hiccup said as they flew towards the finishing line.
"Hiccup and Toothless come through with a perfect score." Mulch said making the crowd cheer minus Spitlout.
Next, it was their majesties turn. They flew around the area. Dusk and Dawn blasted all the Outcasts and were flying back when Dusk and Dawn heard a clicking sound. Dusk and Dawn stopped mid-flight. "Huh> Boys, what's wrong?" Celesto asked. The Zippleback looked left and right and started growling. "It appears their majesties Zippleback senses somethings' wrong." Mulch said.
"Boys? What is it?" Celestia asked.
ROAR!
"WAH!" a sudden blur flew past their majesties and their dragon suddenly. "What was that?!" Celestia asked.
The blur hovered in front of Dusk and Dawn, revealing a dragon with a sharp-toothed beak, three scorpion-like tail telsons, yellow-tipped horns, and scorpion-like pincers for hands. He also has piercing red eyes with a black, slitted pupil and amber irises. In color, he is brownish-purple and has yellow legs, arms and tails, with his middle tail telson being the same brownish-purple as his body.
"A Triple Stryke Dragon!" Fishlegs claimed.
The Triple Stryke roared and Dawn and Dusk and charged at them. The Zippleback swerved to dodge, but the Tripe Styrke grabbed their majesties in two of it's three tails. "WOAH!"
Dusk and Dawn gasped and flew after the Triple Stryke. The Triple Styrke saw the Titan Wing coming for it. It turned around and blasted the dragon with it's fire. Dusk and Dawn were blasted hard and they crashed onto the village ground. "Dusk! Dawn!" their majesties cried. The Triple Styrke roared and it flew off with their majesties.
Hiccup and the other rushed towards the down Zippleback followed by the rest of the village. Snoutlout and Spitelout secretly fist-bumped each other. "Nice work, boyo." Spitelout said.
"Thanks dad." Snotlout replied. Dusk and Dawn gave small roars in pain. "Easy boys." Hiccup soothed.
"Hiccup, their wing is broken!" Fishlegs exclaimed, pointing at the dragons' left wing which was at an odd angle. "Poor thing."
Dusk and Dawn tired to stand up, but they felt a sharp pain in their front, right leg. They roared in pain again and fell to the floor. "Take it easy, boys." Astrid said. Dusk and Dawn looked at the sky and roared loudly.
"I know, I know, you want to get your riders back." Hiccup said. "Don't worry, we'll get them back for you. We promise." Dusk and Dawn looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Dad, can you take them back home and get Gothi?" Hiccup asked.
"Of course son. Bring those two home." Stoick stated.
Hiccup nodded, "Let's go gang!"
The gang nodded, mounted their dragons and flew off. Flying over the sea, Hiccup started thinking, "Why would a Triple Styrke suddenly appear in the competition?"
"I know. Triple Styke's usually stay away, living in dense forests. Why would it come here?" Fishlegs added.
"And why would it only go after their majesties?" Astrid questioned.
Snotlout started whistling innocently, earning glares from the three and the twins. "Snotlout." Hiccup started.
Snotlout stopped whistling, "Yes?"
"You wouldn't have anything to do with any of this, would you?" Astrid asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Pfft. Me? Please, how would I be responsible for this?" Snotlout asked.
"Well, you and your dad might have, an I'm not saying you did, secretly trained a Triple Styrke dragon and had it grab their majesties so they would be disqualified from the Thawfest games, letting you take the first place spot as you always do." Tuffnut explained.
A moment of silence passed.
"How did you know that?" Hiccup asked.
"Me and Ruff heard them talking about it yesterday night."
"Snotlout, how could you?!" Fishlegs exclaimed in anger.
"What I was just protecting my families reputation!"
"Well your reputation has now got their majesties in danger with one of the most dangerous dragons you could have brought! I hope it worth it." Astrid grunted.
Snotlout growled, but deep down he was feeling guilty about what he did. He and the others hoped their majesties would be alright.
Meanwhile, the Triple Styrke was still flying in the sky with their majesties in it's tails. Their majesties didn't want to harm the dragon with their magic, but they couldn't let it take them wherever. "Umm.. Triple Styrke? Would you be so kind as to let us go?" Celestia asked.
The Triple Stryke turned and growled at her. "Guess not."
Celestia turned to her husband, "What now?"
Her husband sighed, "I don't know. I don't want to harm him, but we have to."
Celestia didn't like the idea, but it was coming close to that. Suddenly, arrows came out of nowhere and almost hit the Triple Stryke. "What was that?!" Celestia cried.
"There!" Celesto pointed down and they all saw an Outcasts ship with... Dagur the Daranged?!
"Dagur!" their majesties cried.
"Ah, a Triple Stryke and their majesties too. Hahaha! Shoot them down man!"
Dagurs' men aimed their crossbows at the dragon. The dragon roared and tossed their majesties onto the ship. "WOAH! OOF!"
They landed right on the deck and were surrounded by Dagurs' men. "Well, well, well, looks like the dragon did the hard part for us. Hehehe." Their majesties gulped nervously.
Meanwhile, Hiccup and the others were still flying over the sea when suddenly the Triple Styrke rushed pass them. "The Triple Styrke? But where are their majesties?" Hiccup asked.
"Hiccup, look!" Astrid said. She pointed in the distance and Hiccup used his spyglass. He spotted an Outcats ship and Dagur. "Its Dagur." then he saw their majesties tied up with manacles on their horns. "And he's got their majesties!"
"What?! Oh no!" Fishlegs exclaimed.
"Come on gang!" Hiccup and Toothless dove for the ship along with the others.
Their majesties were tied to the mast of the ship and struggling to get loose, but Dagurs' men bounded them by their hand and ankles as well. "There's no use in struggling, royals. You two are gonna make me rich." Dagur said.
Their majesties growled at him. That's when a Night Fury cry, sounded through the air. "Your majesties!" Hiccup cried. Dagur and his men turned and saw Hiccup and his friends flying towards them. "Stormfly, Fire!" Astrid ordered. Her Nadder blasted the ships' deck, setting it a flame. "Put the two in the cage!" Dagur stated. His men untied their majesties from the mast and threw the two into a cage.
"Riders, hold you fire!" Hiccup called.
The dragons hovered above the ship. "That's right, Hiccup. One move and I'll throw these two overboard!" Dagur announced.
"Hiccup, what are we gonna do?" Fishlegs asked.
Then there was a tiny roar from behind them. "Huh?"
Everyone turned and saw a familiar baby Death Song dragon. "Melody?!" The baby dragon was flying clumsly through the air and towards the ship! "Melody no!" Hiccup cried. The baby landed on the ship near Dagur. "Melody! What are you doing here?!" Celestia cried in fear for their little one. Dagur approached the baby and picked her up. "Ah, you want your mommy and daddy huh?"
Melody narrowed her eyes and spit amber at Dagur's face, completely coating his face in the amber. Dagur let her go and she crawled over to the cage. She flew up to the lock and used her little claws to opened the cage, by moving the latch up, freeing their majesties. "She freed their majesties!" Hiccup cried.
Their majesties spread their wings and flew up to Hiccup and the others. "Are you two okay?" Astrid asked.
"Yes, how's Dusk and Dawn?" Celesto asked.
"They got a broken wing and sprain leg, but they should be fine." Fishlegs informed. Melody cried lightly and landed on Celestia's shoulder. She nuzzled Celestia's cheek. "And how did you get all the way out here, little one?" Celesto asked.
Melody squeaked and pawed at him. "Come on, let's get these two back home."
Their majesties landed on Toothless and they all flew back home.
It was nighttime by the time the riders arrived back on Berk. In Hiccup's house, Stoick and Gobber cut the bounds on their majesties. "Thank you." Celestia said.
"No problem." Gobber said. Their majesties were upstairs and found Dusk and Dawn asleep in the corner of the room. "Dusk, Dawn!" they said. The Zippleback perked up and roared happily at the sight of it's riders safe and sound. Their majesties hugged their dragon. "We're so glad, you're alright." Celestia said. They saw that he had a bandage around his left wing and his front right leg. Dusk and Dawn cooed. Stoick and Gobber came upstairs at that time. "Don't worry, Gothi says their injuries will clear up in a week or two." Stoick informed.
"Okay. Thanks. So what about Thawfest?" Celestia asked. Stoick and Gobber looked at each other. "Well, we decided to cancel the rest of the games, since you two and your dragon have been through alot." Gobber stated.
"They'll be next year." Stoick asked.
Their majesties nodded, "Now your dragon and you both need some rest after what happened."
"Alright." Their majesties cuddled against their dragon, careful of his broken wing. Dusk and Dawn wrapped themsleves around their riders and all four of them fell asleep for the night.
