14: An Important Talk

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

5 years have passed since Spike had started developing his Night Fury features, and he and Toothless, along with so many other dragons began living on Berk ever since that massive dragon was destroyed, and a lot's changed since then.

Not too long after Spike's sudden shed, and growth spurt, they had gone on many different adventures across Berk, and the lands beyond it, they've met many new dragons and have been to places far beyond Berk, practically going as far as the edge of the world, even past it, these past years have been some of the best in Spike's life ever since he and Toothless became friends with Hiccup, and so much has changed for the better since then.

Spike is around 20 years old by now, he's just about gotten used to his Night Fury traits that's made him stand out more then he already did, while he's still been questioning why this is even possible all these years later, he's at least been able to get used to it, and he's only grown closer with everyone else since then.

Berk has changed a lot since then too, so many new places and homes have been built to help the dragons they've met and have got to learn more about, and they've made plenty of fun events and places to help dragons feel at home here.

Spike and Hiccup have been working as hard as they could to make things as perfect as they can be, and it's all payed off, they've developed many devices and gadgets that help them through they're adventures, and it's only helped them find more places that are home to so many different dragons, it's just been an amazing journey no matter what, even if they've had they're ups and downs, they've pulled through it all, and have made things better for everyone.

While Spike still has many questions regarding his past, where he from, and what kind of dragon he even is, he's had support for him no matter what. Some have even called him The Emerald Fury now to tie into his Night Fury traits, which Spike found funny honestly. But no matter what's happened, everything has been great, but there was still much he needs to find out, and he has a feeling he will very soon.

The sun was rising upon Berk once again on an early morning, it shines down upon the massive village that's been expanded, and has changed so much overtime, as the light shines over Hiccup's house, Terrible Terror's are seen singing over the rooftop's, and the sound soon becomes loud enough to be heard inside the house.

And within it, Spike, Hiccup, and Toothless are all seen sleeping within their room after a relaxing night, and as the sun shone on them, and the sounds of the Terrible Terror's could be heard, they all groaned softly and began to wake up again.
"Morning already?" Toothless asked tiredly while he opened his eyes a bit, and that was followed by another yawn just above him as Spike was waking up too.

"I guess so, but it's time for another day at work." Spike said tiredly as he got up from his hammock which had become much bigger now to suit his size, and he soon landed down near Toothless who was stretching himself out to wake up.

"Did you sleep well son?" Toothless asked hopefully while Spike stretched his arms and spread out his wings too.

"As great as I always do dad, even with my extra features, I was able to sleep just fine." Spike replied while they saw Hiccup getting up too, feeling a bit of a headache from the Terrible Terror's still being heard.

"Toothless, could you please..?" Hiccup asked while pointing to the roof above them, and Toothless nodded in response before making a small roar that was loud enough to be heard outside, and the little dragons quickly flew off so they can get ready for another flight today.

"Even without the sun's light, those guys always wake us up each morning, do you think they're doing that on purpose?" Spike asked with a joking tone which Toothless chuckled at.

"Knowing them, it's most likely, bet you we're always the first ones they want to wake up, most likely just a fun game from them." Toothless replied which Spike laughed at.

"I think so after they've done it for the last year, at least we won't be missing any hours right guys?" Spike asked jokingly while Hiccup got up and yawned a bit feeling a bit tired still.

"I don't know about that, but it's just another day in Berk right?" Hiccup asked as he went to get a newly made fire sword which they've spent over a month working on.

"You got that right, wanna get some breakfast before we meet up with Astrid and the others for another race? You know how competitive she can get in those." Spike asked with a smile while he used his fire to light the wood nearby to warm the place up.

"Absolutely, come on guys, we've got a long day ahead of us." Hiccup said as they started making they're way downstairs to get things done quickly.

Spike looked out the nearby window and smiled proudly upon the sight of Berk, the village has grown so much in these last years, so many places have evolved, grown, and become so much better for Vikings and Dragons everywhere because of what they've been doing, all the new dragons they've found have really helped them see just how big the world is outside of this place, and they still have so much to see, while Spike still wishes they could find who his parents are, or where he even came from, he's been so happy to have such a great life here.

He has gotten a lot better with using his new features that have made him far stronger then he used to be, with being part Night Fury, his fire breath is stronger, and his speeds has multiplied to being one of the fastest dragons around, he's often won most of the Dragon Races because of it, but his father and Hiccup, and Astrid often do find a way to get an edge over him, but even with all he's learned after his Night Fury traits began to show, he knows there's still lots to do, even after all of this time.

As Spike, Hiccup and Toothless all made they're way downstairs for breakfast, they didn't expect that much different from they're usual kitchen with extra barrel's of fish and meat, but as soon as they got down, to they're surprise, they saw Stoick was already at the table having prepared some fish for them, and knowing him, it's likely for an important talk.

"Dad? Uh.. what are you doing here so early?" Hiccup asked with surprise while they walked up to him who kept a stern look on his face like usual.

"You usually don't come here until way later, what's going on?" Spike asked as they all sat down to talk while Stoick sighed knowing it's time to tell them it.

"Son, Spike, we need to talk." Stoick said sternly before he started standing up which got them concerned a bit on what's going on.

"Not now dad, Spike and I have a whole day of goofing off to do." Spike joked while mimicking Hiccup's voice, even moving his arms around which Toothless laughed at a bit.

"Spike, I do not sound like that. Why do you keep mimicking like that? And.. why do you keep moving your arms around when I talk like that?" Hiccup asked while Spike chuckled being asked that.

"You do that almost every time you speak, how have you not noticed it after all these years?" Spike asked with a laugh which even Stoick laughed at after finding it funny.

"I do not Spike! Dad, you don't think I do that all the time right?" Hiccup asked while he still moved his arms around while talking which Stoick laughed even more at.

"No I'm with Spike on this one, your doing it right now! Almost every Viking in Berk has noticed it! Gobber's even joked about it at lunch when we're on break." Stoick replied while laughing a bit which made Spike smirk even more finding it funny.

"See? Even the great Chief of Berk is able to see it!" Spike pointed out while the three of them laughed it off, and Hiccup only chuckled a little at while looking a bit embarrassed.

"Come on guys, I'm sure Astrid doesn't mind it." Hiccup replied while Spike just shook his head.

"Eh we'll see in the future, if your father can see it, I'm sure she has too." Spike replied while Stoick laughed again hearing it.

"Oh she definitely has boys. But, let's get back to topic. There's something important, I've been wanting to talk to you both about." Stoick replied before he sat down again to get back to topic which pretty much killed the laughs they were having moments ago.

Spike could see this was a serious topic just from his expression alone, Stoick doesn't joke around when it comes to talks like this, outside of the fun times they can spend together, when Stoick is serious, they can't mess around. And Spike didn't want to waste anymore time if he really has something to tell them.
"Okay, what is it Stoick?" Spike asked with concern while they sat back down so Stoick could finally tell them this.

"Your the pride of Berk you two, Toothless couldn't have raised a better child, what you and Hiccup have done for the village over the years, and helped it grow to the perfect place it is now, I couldn't be more proud for what the three of you have done" Stoick said with a proud tone which they were grateful to hear.

"Uh.. thanks dad, we've been doing all we can to help, we still got plenty more plans on making Berk even better, once our map of the world is complete, we'll be coming up with more plans on helping dragons grow around they're natural habitats." Hiccup replied with a smile while he pulled out a piece of paper he had, despite it looking small, it was actually just folded up, and had a much bigger map of the world they've been exploring.

"I know, but that may have to wait, what I'm about to tell you both, will likely change these plans for a while." Stoick replied before Hiccup put it away while looking concerned over it.

"Why would we have to do that? What's wrong?" Spike asked with a little bit of worry while Stoick took a few moments to think over it before he finally decided to tell them.

"You and Spike are all grown up, and since no chief could ask for a better successor, I've decided to make the two of you, the next Chief, and Advisor's of Berk!" Stoick announced which completely caught them off guard.

"Wait.. what?!" Spike shouted with shock before he suddenly screamed after falling out of his char from the shock, and Hiccup spat out a drink he had from the surprise too.

"A.. are you serious?!" Hiccup asked with shock while Toothless couldn't believe the news either, and given Stoick's expression, it's likely that he is very serious about this.

"I don't mess around when it comes to stuff like this you two, you know it. You've been doing so much around Berk that have made you worthy of taking over, with how Spike's helped the relationship with Dragons and Vikings, the two of you together could be the best leaders Berk has had yet." Stoick said proudly while he stood up to show how much he means it.

"But Stoick, the people look up to you, you've also been doing so much to help the village thrive and prosper, we've only been lending the ideas and doing any support we can, leading the whole village? That's your thing, not ours." Hiccup argued while looking very nervous about this sudden announcement.

"And me being the Advisor? How will I be able to manage something like that? We're already doing so much to help Berk already, and suddenly becoming the Chief and Advisor? How.. how can we even handle a position like that?" Spike asked with worry while they all started to stand up, and Toothless had an idea on where this was about to lead in just a few moments.

Stoick kept a calm, yet proud look after hearing they're complaints, even if they can't see it, he knows the two of them will do far better with leading Berk then he has in these last years, it wouldn't be the place it is now if it wasn't for the two of them.
"It all takes time and practicing to get it right you two, you both have earned these titles after all you've done for our home. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd meet a talking dragon like you Spike, but here we are. Over the years, I've seen just how much potential there is with you, both you and your father, the three of you together make an unstoppable trio, and with you in charge, Berk will have a much brighter future ahead when the time comes." Stoick assured while Hiccup was getting closer to Toothless to get ready to leave.

Hiccup looked incredibly worried being told this, while it is a huge honor to be given such a title, they still have so much to do, they haven't found any clues to where Spike came from, or who his parents are even after all these years, and with leading the village, it could take even longer to find any info on why Spike was left alone.
"W.. wow dad, that's.. I.. it's so sudden, can't we just have a bit of time to think this over before being put in charge?" Hiccup asked nervously while Spike looked at the wall which had tons of drawings of the memories he, Hiccup, Toothless, and everyone else has made here during they're adventures.

Spike felt so many thoughts and emotions going through his head as he reflected on these past 5 years, they've been through so much together no matter how hard it's been, all the dragons they've found, all the lands they've been too, and all the moments they've spent growing closer as a family, it's all so much. And taking on such a role like this.. he doesn't know if he can handle it.
"We've done so much for Berk Stoick, but.. being put in charge so suddenly like this.. I don't think it's the best idea.." Spike said nervously before Stoick gave him a heavy pat on his back which made him stumble forward a bit from the shock.

"I know the two of you better then anyone at this point, well.. aside from Toothless and Astrid at least. But I've seen what you can do together, I wouldn't be telling you this if you two couldn't do it, but I know the two of you can. You may not see it, but I do, the whole village does too, with the two of you in charge, Berk will only continue to grow , and be a safe place, for Dragons, and Vikings everywhere." Stoick replied while Toothless saw Spike was really worried over it, and he knew they needed to go now to think over it.

"Son, on my mark, we get out of here, okay?" Toothless whispered to Spike nodded lightly in response before they turned to Stoick again to find the moment to leave.

"Are.. you sure about this Stoick?" Spike asked nervously while Stoick smiled proudly and nodded his head in response.

"I am. You, Hiccup, and Toothless have done so much for Berk, now it's time for you to take charge. It was inevitable I would retire eventually, and now, I know it's time to make the announcement." Stoick assured as he turned around a bit to finish up their breakfast.

"I know the you will do a great job leading our home, I see it in you two. Now, let's finish up with our food, and then we'll..." Stoick was about to continue explaining his plans, but as soon a he turned around, all 3 of them were gone in the blink of an eye, with only a spinning cup Hiccup was using falling over, and the large spare entrance for Toothless and Spike being open on the ceiling.

"Oh.." Stoick groaned with frustration as he saw the three of them fly away as fast as they can to avoid this talk for now.

We cut to the three of them already getting pretty far from Berk as the sun continues to rise on this day, they still couldn't believe they were being offered such a position, and it was so overwhelming for them, it made them both very nervous, and they just needed time to think over it.
"So what do you say guys? Think we can find another land within the next hour?" Hiccup shouted to them while he had a newly built helmet on for him while Spike flew extremely fast right besides Toothless.

"I think that's our best option, we'll be missing this morning's Dragon Race because of it though. I'm sure the village won't mind us being absent for a while right?" Spike asked with worry which Hiccup hoped would be true.

"Astrid will probably steal the show for all of them in the race, And that will give us the time we need, how far do you think we can make it this time guys?" Hiccup replied while Toothless kept his focus on the sky's ahead of them.

"I think we'll beat our speed records again for crossing the islands around Berk, if we're gonna find another land, we have to do it now!" Toothless replied which Spike understood, but to Hiccup, it was just another roar in response, but he already could figure out what he was implying.

"You heard the Night Fury. Let's see what's our there Spike, you ready?" Hiccup shouted to him while Spike took a deep breath and nodded after being asked that.

"Let's do this, come on!" Spike screamed before they all took off through the skies to find any new places beyond Berk with the time they have, with such a sudden announcement like this, they need time to think. And hopefully during this flight, they'll find out what to do with such a position that may change Berk forever.


Author's Note

Thanks for reading this everyone! Hope you don't mind this chapter being a bit short, but I wanted to try my best to take in what Hiccup described how Stoick told him he was gonna be Chief, and make it into a scene to help get things going. As well if the sudden time skip felt off to you guys, but I hope I did a good job with setting things up for the 2nd movie, which will be starting within the next chapter.

I'll go more into Spike and Hiccup's thoughts on taking on a huge position in a bit, I have a lot of plans for the 2nd movie, which will then lead into the 3rd movie to tie things together. There's gonna be a lot coming up in these next chapter's, so I hope you look forward to it. Thank you for reading this, and hope you have a good day!
