Son Of A Night Fury
15: A New Land
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter Spike, Hiccup and Toothless left Berk to try and explore a bit more after they got such big news from Stoick, they were all left thinking about what will happen if they ever really take up the title. Even after all these years since they had all those adventures together, this was still something they were both having trouble trying to accept.
Spike's still been trying to find the answers to what his origins are, where he's from, who his parents could be, or anything on why he ended up in that cave alone where Toothless found him. He and Hiccup both don't know if they can handle such a huge change yet, with so much out there that they haven't discovered, with the little time they may have now, they're gonna try to find what else they can with the time they have.
Spike knew that by now the other's back on Berk were likely doing another Dragon Race this morning, it was a common event that they made quite a while back, and it's one of the many fun things they did around Berk when they weren't studying or planning things out. He has a feeling that they may need to head home pretty soon to not worry anyone, but as they flew far from they're home once again, Spike just took in the sights around him, and smiled as he felt so free as the three of them flew together.
The both of them fly at fast speeds across the waters of the ocean, going faster and faster by the moment, Spike smiled with joy as he and Toothless flew alongside eachother, and as Hiccup held on tightly to the saddle with his helmet on, they all cheered as they flew even farther then they have before.
They fly over some dragons traveling under the sea as they keep moving forward, and as Hiccup adjusts Toothless's tail once again, they both fly under their wings before flying even higher into the air.
"Yeah!" Hiccup cheered as they fly farther into the skies and just keep moving.
"This is the life!" Spike said with joy as he flies besides his father who smiled back at him, and Spike chuckled playfully as they fly over the clouds. Hiccup helped show off Toothless's skills by having him fly upside down, before they both did a dive down below a bit before flying upwards again, they even did some spinning a bit to have more fun, and once they reached a high enough point, Toothless and Spike fell down again before adjusting they're positions, just taking in the amazing sights around them.
Hiccup stands up a bit and spreads out his arms and feels the wind passing by him as they fly right under some extremely large dragons which they've seen before on they're adventures, Spike gave a very happy smile as they see them flying to where they want to go with they're own freedom, and once the dragons make a loud roar in the distance, Hiccup readjusts himself to prepare something they've been testing out.
"Alright guys, do you think we should give it another shot?" Hiccup asked while looking at the two of them who had their concerns.
"You sure Hiccup? The last time we tried this, you almost glided straight into a mountain before my dad saved you." Spike reminded in a playful tone which Toothless agreed with.
"Don't worry about it Spike, it'll be fine! Let's try this again!" Hiccup replied before he detached himself from the saddle to prepare something that left Toothless to fly on his own for a bit.
"You ready guys?" Hiccup asked with a confident tone while they braced themselves.
"Alright, go for it!" Spike encouraged which was enough for Hiccup to hear. And at that moment, Hiccup screams with joy as he fell off Toothless and began falling through the clouds.
"Yeah!" Hiccup cheered as they fell through the clouds together, the three of them spinning around eachother like a spiral, and as Hiccup looked at Toothless, he gave a goofy smile which Spike laughed at knowing how fun his dad can be. And as they kept diving through the clouds, once they saw the sea below them, they got ready for Hiccup's new gadget they recently made.
"And.. now!" Spike shouted just as Hiccup pulled a small wire attached to his leg, and at that moment, he spread his arms out and opened out a newely built glide suit, and Spike and Toothless followed suit by spreading out they're wings so they can glide through the air.
Once they got themselves steady, the three of them flew through the sky again and enjoyed this amazing feeling, even after all this time, flying through the skies together like this is one of the best things they could ever feel. Spike and Hiccup cheered again as they flew over the clouds a bit more, and to add onto the fun, Toothless shot a few plasma blasts by them for a little excitement.
"Alright! Let's do this one together!" Spike shouted as he flew right next to his father again, and after aiming just a bit farther above them, the two of them shot two plasma blasts at once and made a much larger explosion that looked almost really colorful.
"Yeah! This is amazing!!" Hiccup screamed as they kept on gliding through the air, but the moment was ruined as they saw what looked like a pillar of rocks coming right out of the clouds which turned they're joy to fear.
"Okay, this is no longer amazing! Toothless, Spike! A little help?!" Hiccup shouted to them which made Toothless try to fly up to him, but his tail was still making it difficult to fly on his own.
"Spike! Give me a hand here please!" Toothless shouted to him which he nodded at instantly, Spike quickly landed on his father and took control of his tail for a moment and held onto his saddle to reach Hiccup just in time.
"Hang on!" Spike screamed as Toothless flew as fast as they could just before they hit the mountain, and just before Toothless caught him, he shot a powerful blast at the mountain in front of them which destroyed the thing easily, and Hiccup screamed as Toothless flew in under him and wrapped his wings around him to save him as Spike held on tightly.
The rocks fell all around them, and the three of them screamed as they went crashing through some trees, and they roughly tumbled onto a grassy field that had some fog around it that obscured where they were for a moment.
"Ugh.. another successful landing.." Spike said sarcastically as he tried pushing Toothless of him after that crash, and Hiccup adjusted his leg to it's walking setting so he could get up.
"At least we know the new suit is working right Spike? Man, we really came out of nowhere didn't we?" Hiccup asked as they heard the rest of the rocks falling down from the blast in the background which Spike winced at after they had such a close call moments ago.
"Guess you can say that, you alright dad?" Spike asked with concern while he helped Toothless up a bit who shook off the rocks still on his body.
"I'm fine Spike, we just cut it a bit close that time.. at least we're still alive." Toothless replied which Spike shrugged at.
"Yeah, at least we are, still, we have some work to do regarding your flying dad." Spike replied as Hiccup adjusted his flight suit back into his outfit.
"Yeah, Toothless's solo gliding still needs work, without me or you there, his locked up tail makes for some really sloppy rescue maneuvers." Hiccup said in agreement while he winded down the extra fin he built in for his suit before he finally took off his helmet so they can take in the sights around them.
They flew farther then they thought, as they had found themselves in another new land. As the fog and clouds faded away for them to take in the sights, they found themselves in a large new land filled with lots of high mountains with colorful trees and woods on the top. And far off in the distance, they saw two larger cliffs split up from eachother which opened a way through the place even more.
"Wow.. " Spike said with amazement as they take in the sights, and Hiccup chuckled a bit seeing this new place.
"Another flight, another new land, much larger then the last ones we've seen right?" Hiccup asked while Toothless looked upset about earlier in the distance. And Spike took notice of Toothless throwing a small rock at Hiccup's head which got his attention. Once he turned around, he saw Toothless looked upset and turned away from them after that little incident moments ago.
"Oh what, does he want an apology Spike?" Hiccup asked in a playful tone which Spike shook his head at.
"When he turns away from us like that, that should be obvious." Spike replied as Hiccup tried getting him to look at him who was still upset about it.
"Is that really why your pouting big baby poo?" Hiccup asked sarcastically which made Toothless say something only Spike could understand, and he gasped a bit hearing that from him.
"Wow dad, wow. Real mature of you to say in front of your son." Spike said as he crossed his arms which confused Hiccup a bit.
"What? What did he say?" Hiccup asked with confusion while Spike shrugged it off.
"Best of you not to know." Spike said with a smirk which Hiccup sighed at, and he tried to playfully push Toothless around to cheer him up.
"Well why don't I try this?! Huh?! Is he feeling anything yet?!" Hiccup shouted as Toothless didn't move an inch before Hiccup climbed onto his neck a bit.
"Picking up on all my heartfelt remorse?!" Hiccup asked which finally made Toothless stand up on two legs, and Spike smirked even more as he saw him walking over to the edge of the cliff.
"Oh come on, you really wouldn't hurt a.. one legged..." Hiccup said right before he screamed with fear upon seeing the far drop below him as he tried holding onto Toothless tightly.
"I'm gonna do it if you don't apologize Hiccup!" Toothless said with a small laugh while Spike knew where this was going.
"He's gonna do it Hiccup! He's not joking around this time!" Spike warned as Hiccup was inches away from falling off him.
"Okay, your right! You win!" Hiccup admitted making Toothless fall on his back and rolling over him in a playful way which Hiccup laughed at.
"He's down! And it's ugly!" Hiccup said playfully while they were smacking eachother's hands away while Spike chuckled even more seeing them play together like this.
"Enemy's again! Locked in combat to the bitter..." Hiccup said just before Toothless slammed down on his chest to pin him down which made Hiccup groan with some pain feeling it. And it got a bit funnier as Toothless suddenly started licking him in the face which he was disgusted at a bit before he finally got back up.
"Toothless! You know that doesn't wash out!" Hiccup reminded while Toothless laughed it off a bit, and Hiccup just threw a bit of his saliva at him to prove his point while Spike shook it off.
"Was the licking necessary dad?" Spike asked while he walked up to them again after seeing this little moment between them.
"Come on son, I'm just playing around! You didn't mind them when you were a hatchling, remember?" Toothless asked with a smirk which Spike rolled his eyes at.
"I was like 1 year old when that happened, we're both adults now and you know that." Spike replied while Hiccup nudged his shoulder in a playful way.
"Hey at least he doesn't do it in front of Astrid and everyone else right?" Hiccup asked as they looked back to the view in front of them to figure things out a bit.
"I guess you can say that." Spike replied while they felt amazed seeing the new land in front of them. Hiccup soon took out a small map they had before he started spreading it out after it was folded up multiple times, it slowly spread out farther and farther and helped show the many, many different lands and places they've been too over the years they've spent together.
Hiccup then took out another page they can add to the map, and the three of them worked a bit to make sure they know where they'll find this place if they ever come here again.
"So, what should we name it guys?" Hiccup asked while they looked over it, and Toothless started to scratch his armpit again which gave Hiccup an idea.
"Itchy Armpit it is." Hiccup joked which Spike laughed at while they finished placing it on the map.
"Well, that will at least give us another week or so of exploring to see more of the place right?" Spike asked since it gave them time to avoid talking about their talk with Stoick earlier.
"It may be longer then that Spike, what do you think we'll find there? Timberjacks, or a few Whispering Deaths or so in the rocks?" Hiccup asked as he wrote the new name of the place down while Spike and Toothless looked over it.
"I don't know, we haven't been to a new land like this before in a while, anything's possible with the new places we find." Spike replied while he looked a bit concerned with what could be out there.
"Maybe we'll find a new dragon of sorts, maybe one that's like you, or.. maybe we'll finally find another Night Fury, wouldn't that be something?" Hiccup asked as Spike looked at his Night Fury features and sighed with worry at the thought of it.
"Maybe one of them could be related to my dad.. or even me.." Spike replied while he sat down a bit to think over this.
"You think if we find another Night Fury, it'll help us find a bit more about where your from? Or why you were found by Toothless?" Hiccup asked while Toothless laid down next to Spike to comfort him a bit.
"It.. may be the only way right now, all the dragons we know about don't have anything that's like what I have, being able to walk and talk like you, and looking like my dad, if anything else, finding another Night Fury, may be the only way we could find out where I came from." Spike replied while he rubbed Toothless's head a bit who put his wing over him in response.
"As long as we find out I'm not the last one.. that will give me hope. We've spent so many years flying to different lands, and yet.. we've never found another Night Fury, like me.." Toothless said with sadness while Hiccup felt bad knowing it.
"Maybe this land will finally give us clues as to what happened with you Spike, you think we should keep going?" Hiccup asked as they started standing up again, and knowing there's so much left to see here, it could be a good idea.
"I wouldn't mind some more exercise." Spike replied while he was still thinking over what they'll find here.
But just before they decided to keep going, a familiar dragon screech was heard nearby, and looking behind them, they saw they're friends Astrid and Stormfly had finally caught up with them after they flew quite the distance.
"Afternoon milady, where have you been?" Hiccup asked with a smile while Toothless playfully ran up to Stormfly to speak with her a bit.
"Oh winning races, what else?" Astrid greeted while she came up to them next for a little talk.
"How'd you win this one? Did it relate to the twins, Snotlout or Fishlegs mess it up somehow?" Spike asked jokingly while she gave him a playful punch on his shoulder.
"The twins arguing about who gets the glory gave me an opening to take the Black Sheep, giving me the extra 10 points I needed to win. They were so close to winning, but what are you gonna do?" Astrid asked casually which Spike laughed at a bit.
"After all the times we've done it, I'm not surprised. Glad you've finally met up with us." Spike replied with a smile as she went up to the cliffside where Hiccup was.
"It took a bit, but I was able to find you here after seeing a large explosion, figured that'd be you. So, why don't you tell me, where have you three been this whole day?" Astrid asked since they were gone for quite a while without anyone knowing.
"We've been avoiding my dad." Hiccup answered making her more curious.
"Oh boy, what happened now guys?" Astrid asked while she sat nearby Hiccup as Spike stayed back a bit for them to have a little moment together.
"Okay, your gonna love this. The three of us get up, the sun is shinning, Terrible Terror's are singing on the rooftops, we go down for breakfast, thinking all is well and then dad's like" Son, we need to talk"" Hiccup answered in a deep voice to mimic Stoick the best he could.
"Not now dad, I've got a whole day of goofing off to get started with." Astrid mimicked back which Spike laughed at since he did the same thing.
"Okay, first of all, I don't sound like that, what is this character? Why do you and Spike keep mimicking me like that?" Hiccup asked as Toothless and Stormfly were chasing eachother a bit in the background.
"Come on it's not that hard to mimic what you sound like, Astrid and I could portray you exactly like this, and the whole village wouldn't see the difference!" Spike replied while Astrid laughed again and gave him a high five.
"It's hard not to mimic how you sound like Hiccup!" Astrid added which Hiccup rolled his eyes at.
"And the thing with my arms right there? Is that something everyone can see too?" Hiccup asked while Astrid moved her arm a bit to mock what Hiccup always does.
"Yep, everyone can see it, yet somehow after 5 years, you haven't been able to notice it at all!" Spike replied making him and Astrid both laugh at it since it's so easy to see.
"Of course the both of you have seen it.." Hiccup said as he slapped his face a bit before the two of them calmed down so Hiccup could keep explaining what's happened.
"Alright, moving on, so during the meeting, he was all like.. " You and Spike are the pride of Berk son, and I couldn't be prouder."" Hiccup continued while Astrid smirked again a bit hearing that.
"Aw, thanks dad, I'm pretty impressed with myself too!" Astrid replied jokingly while she moved her shoulders around again.
"When have I ever.. done that with my hand?" Hiccup asked while Astrid pointed at his arm since he did it again just now.
"You just did!" Astrid pointed out making the three of them laugh yet again.
"Oh how do you not see it Hiccup? It's so easy to notice!" Spike joked while Hiccup knelt down and lightly grabbed Astrid's arms in a bit of a romantic way.
"This is serious, so after a little more talking, he decides to say.." Your both all grown up, and since no chief could ask for a better successor, I've decided.."" Hiccup was interrupted once Astrid finally realized what he was implying, and she looked really amazed to know what this means.
"To make you Chief! Oh my gods! Hiccup, that's amazing!" Astrid said with joy before she playfully punched the spring on his chest which made the fin on his suit pop up a bit which Hiccup groaned at.
"And to add onto the news, he's decided to make me the villager's Advisor, since I'm the only talking dragon here, with me and Hiccup working together, he thinks it'll help out the relationship between Dragons and Vikings even more." Spike added which amazed her even more.
"That's really amazing Spike! Congratulations! That is such a huge honor!" Astrid congratulated while Spike and Hiccup both looked worried over it since it will be a huge duty for when it inevitably happens. But then Toothless and Stormfly suddenly ran past the three of them again which knocked them on the ground, and Spike groaned a bit feeling a bit annoyed by that.
"Can you watch where your running you two?" Spike shouted to them while he was getting up a bit.
"Sorry!" Toothless shouted in the distance which Spike brushed off again.
"Yeah.. that's what me and Spike are dealing with right now, that's why we were gone for most of the day." Hiccup continued while brushing off any dirt on their clothing.
"So what did you tell him guys?" Astrid asked hoping for a bit more info.
"We didn't really.. say anything, by the time he turned around, we were all gone." Hiccup answered as Astrid knelt down and handed him the map they've been working on.
"Well, it's a huge responsibility for both of you. The map will definitely need to wait, and I'll have to fly Toothless since you'll both be pretty busy but.." Astrid said just before she noticed Spike and Hiccup were both worried over taking on such a task.
"That's not me Astrid, all the speeches, planning, helping run the village, that's his thing." Hiccup replied while Spike looked at his hybrid traits again and sighed seeing it.
"You guys should try to see the positives in this, this is the Chief, and Advisor, it's such a huge honor! I'd be really excited if I was given such a position." Astrid said as she tried encouraging them, but the two of them both didn't feel that motivated from it.
"Astrid, if we take on such a role right now, it could only take even longer for any of us to find answers to where I came from, I don't even know who my birth parents are, while I'll forever be grateful for what Toothless did when he raised me.. it's just.. going this long without ever finding a single clue, all the times we came to a possible trail, only for it to be a dead end, it's.. just got me worried if we'll ever find out anything or not. I don't think a question like this should go unanswered, as much as me and my dad have tried finding anything, there's just.. never been anything to help us." Spike said with regret which she felt bad at from hearing.
"I know it's rough Spike, but look at all that's happened over these last years, all we've done for Berk, the lands we've seen, dragons we've discovered, it's been a huge journey. But I have to ask, let's say.. what if we manage to find something regarding your past, either it be who your related too, where you may be from, or why Toothless found you, how would you take in the news, whether or not it's good, or bad?" Astrid asked again which Spike was silent at, he remembered Hookfang asking him this many years ago, and after so much has going on, he doesn't know how to answer it.
"I.. don't know anymore Astrid, the only thing I do know is that there has to be a reason, if my birth parents are still alive, or if there's anything to help show where I'm from here, I just need to find it. I don't know how I'll go on without ever knowing it, I just want to know the truth.." Spike said with regret while he sat down over the edge and felt guilt as they haven't found anything in years.
"That's honestly how I feel a bit Astrid, we're both still looking for answers to who we are, you may always feel ready for what task is given to you, but for us, we're still searching. I'm.. not my dad, and I've never met my mother, so what does that make me? What does.. that make either of us?" Hiccup asked while he and Spike looked at her for any answer she could give to help.
"Hiccup, Spike, what your searching for may not be out there, but in here." Astrid answered as she pointed at Hiccup's chest to where they're heart is for an answer before she kissed Hiccup's cheek just a bit, before she felt some of Toothless's saliva again which grossed her out a lot.
"If it's not out there, then.. how will we ever know?" Spike asked himself quietly while he looked down a bit, but as he looked out in the distance, Hiccup took notice of something which made him push Spike's chin up a bit so he could see it too.
"I don't know Spike, but.. you know guys.. there.. is something out there." Hiccup replied as the both of them started to stand up with a more serious look while Astrid didn't see it yet.
"Something big.." Spike said with a concerned look with what they're seeing in the distance.
"Spike, Hiccup.." Astrid replied with a sigh before Hiccup moved her chin up to see what they are too, and to her surprise, far off from the cliffs in the distance, there was a huge cloud of smoke coming from somewhere beyond it, which could only mean one thing, that they're not alone out here...
Author's Note
Thanks for reading this everyone! So we're finally beginning with the 2nd movie! I decided to cut the Dragon Race scene at the beginning since not much would change at all if I kept in it, I thought it'd be better to help show off how Spike interacts with Hiccup, Toothless and Astrid at this point since they've known eachother for years now, so I hope you don't mind that little change.
There's a lot I'm gonna be covering for the 2nd movie, I'll try my best to blend in any hints towards Equestria when I can, and with what I have in store, It's gonna be a lot, I hope it'll be interesting to you guys since the 2nd movie has quite a lot going on.
I hope that I'll handle the 2nd movie well for you all going forward, and that I can blend Spike in well here too. I hope you all liked this, and look forward to more!
