Look! I'm not dead! I got transferred to public school last week (9/16/14) and it has been kicking my ass. On the first week, I literally fell asleep as soon as I came home and ate dinner and not wake up until either 6:30AM or late into the night like 1-4 in the morning. My school looks like a prison and boy, does it feel like one, both literally and metaphorically.
With that being put to the side, I present you yet another crossover! :3 I've been working on it since early September (MAYBE late August, I can't remember when I started exactly) in a notebook I bought from Walmart. ^^ So you can expect (or hope for) quite a few updates tonight (or today if you're not in EST). Enjoy! ;p
Berk had been stangin strong for the past 5 years thanks to their new leader, Hiccup. The Outkast *Outcast?* haven't been attacking since and dangerous dragons like the Screaming Death or the Red Death haven't wrecked havoc to this or any other islands. The other dragons were safe and sound under Toothless's care.
The Dragon Academy hasn't been used in a very long time so it gathered a lot of dust over the years. Because of how long it's been since he's even looked inside, Fishlegs decided to go in with Meatlug. When they were in, he looked at all the dust that built up. Meatlug inspecting the dust as well but instead of just looking at it, she pressed her nose against it and blew it off the items it was on, making her sneeze many times.
"Ah...the Dragon Academy. It's been such a long time since we have been in it, right girl?"
Meatlug responded with a simple nod and walked up to Fishlegs to lick his face. It was then she stopped messing around with the dust. Soon, Fishlegs examined the cages and got a quick glance of the sky.
"Aaahhh...well Meatlug, I think we should get going. Hiccup might be wondering where we are afterall." Fishlegs soon mounted Meatlug and patted her head, giving Meatlug the cue to take flight.
As the two were in the air, Fishlegs began to read his book on the dragons discovered so far. Unfortunately, the reading wasn't very long as Hookfang, with Snotlout on his back, flew by. Snotlout slapped the book out of Fishlegs's hands when he had the chance.
"Hey!" Fishlegs said.
"Hiccup needs us at the Great Hall! Stop reading and hurry up!" With that said, Hookfang flew away from Meatlug and Fishlegs.
Meatlug decreased her elevation until she was at the ground. She landed and sniffed around for Fishlegs's book. Lucky for her, it wasn't that far from where she was standing and found it in a matter of seconds. Once she found it, she grabbed the book with her front teeth and held it for Fishlegs. Fishlegs unmounted Meatlug for a moment and grabbed the book, shortly mounting her afterwards.
"Good girl, Meatlug." Once more, Fishlegs patted Meatlug on the head.
Meatlug ran over to the Great Hall, seeing as it wasn't as far as she had anticipated it to be. In the Great Hall, Hiccup, Astrid, and Toothless were all sitting at the table, awaiting for the two. Everyone else was already there.
Toothless guided Fishlegs to his seat and directed Fishlegs to where the other dragons were, which was basically anywhere since they were scattered about in the Hall. Meatlug plopped onto the hard floor while Fishlegs took a seat.
"There you are!" Astrid said, as if Fishlegs was late.
Fishlegs didn't respond and simply awaited for Hiccup to say what he needed to say.
"Good. That you guys are all here, we can get this meeting started." Hiccup said.
"It's not much of a meeting, it's more of a quick update on life." Astrid added.
"Right."
Everyone listened intently, including the dragons.
"Now then...ummm...I'm going to be..." Everyone waited for Hiccup to finish his sentence.
"I'm going to be...a father."
Everyone, except Astrid, gasped and widened their eyes. Even Toothless wasn't aware Astrid was pregnant, nor was he ever informed.
"Wait, wait, wait...you brought us all over...just to tell us...ASTRID'S PREGNANT?!" Snotlout asked. He slammed his fists on the table.
Astrid slammed her axe on the table hard enough for it to leave a hole in the table and allowing it to stand there before she pulled it out and held it up, threatening to do the same thing to Snotlout if he complained once more. Snotlout soon calmed down and stared at the axe.
"U-u-ummmm...what I meant to say was...uuhh...congrats!"
"Hmph. That's what I thought." Astrid muttered.
"Anything else you need to tell us? Like, how long this has been going on for?" Ruffnut asked.
"We just got the news." Hiccup replied.
"Wait...does this mean that...you guys had a baby...while telling us about it?" Tuffnut asked.
"No, Tuffnut. What I mean is we got the news earlier today."
"Oh...that makes sense. Needed to clarify that."
"So does this mean Notlout will no longer be chief after you?" Fishlegs asked, having a grin on his face.
"Hey, I still have a shot!"
"He's right, Fishlegs. If someting happens to me or, Thor forbid, the baby, Snotlout will still be in charge."
"Exactly." Snotlout put his hands on the back of his head.
Hookfang lit himseof on fire for a second. Toothless facepalmed and turned his back to Hookfang, staring at Hiccup instead of everyone else.
"So...that was it?" Fishlegs asked.
"For the most part. I'm considering having one of you guys investigate the firest."
"What for?" Astrid asked.
"Some of the wild dragons native to Berk have been fleeing off the island never to be seen again. It's a bit suspicous."
"Nominate yourself." Snotlout muttered. Unfortunately for him, Hiccup and Astrid heard him.
Astrid stood up and looked Hiccup. "No way. I'm going."
"But Astrid you're-"
"We can't lose our chief. Not again." Astrid said, cutting off Hiccup.
Hiccup stared at Astrid befomr coming up with a conclusion. "I'll go with you then."
"Then it's settled. Hiccup and I will go investigate the forest while you guys keep a close eye on the village and the dragons' behavior. If something happens, you guys know the drill and if you can't handle it by yourself...well, you also know the drill on that as well."
Everyone and their dragons nodden in a greement and left the Great Hall. Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut went their respective ways with their dragons and Hiccup and Stormfly head straight for the forest with their dragons.
"How long has this been going on?" Astrid asked.
"I can't say a specific time. I caught it during my last flight with Toothless but it could've been going on a lot longer."
"Stormfly and the others are just fine though."
"They have someone other than themselves to count on though. They know we try our hardest to protect them from harm's way but wild dragons can only do so much by themselves."
"Yeah, that's true. But we can't do too much either, even with our dragons or as a team."
"True. But we can try and-"
"Hiccup, look!" Astrid pointed at the ground, with contained and enormous footprint.
Hiccup investigated it, trying to figure out what made the footprint. "Hmmm..."
"Where do you think it came from?"
"I can't put my finger on it..."
The footprint resembled that of a hooved animal, more spefically a deer/horse hybrid, fused with dragon claws that reached 12 feet. There were 4 claws, with 3 claws being in the front and only 1 claw being in the back.
"Do you think it could be a new dragon species?"
"Highly doubt it but there's no harm in looking at it that way." Hiccup put his finger on the dirt the footprint resided in.
"If it is a dragon, it sure is gigantic...maybe even larger than the Red Death."
"Or the same size. Maybe even the size of the Alpha himself." Hiccup and Astrid began to walk again.
There still wasn't anything that can be passed on as evidence as to why the dragons were acting so strange or support that it could be a new large species of dragon. At one point, they all considered going back to the village when they came across what they assumed was the same footprint from before.
"Let's head home, Hiccup. All we're finding is an abnormal track left by some creature that is currently considered to be a dragon."
"Let's look a bit more. You never know what'll show up."
"I know you wanna head back."
"I do, no doubt about it but-"
Toothless roared as a dragon ran into him and Stormfly. Hiccup took notice as did looked in all directions but saw nothing that could explain why the dragon was retreating, where it originally was on Berk, and who it was retreating from.
"What are they running from?!" Astrid asked as she covered her face to guard her from oncoming Terrible Terrors.
Hiccup looked at where the Terrrible Terrors came from." They'lre all comeing fomr there!" He pointed to the West, where there was a clear path.
Astrid looked over once the Terrible Terrors were past her. She ran down the path with Hiccup, Toothless, and Stormfly following her. Once they made it to what seemed like the end of the path, Toothless bumped into something hard. When he looked up, it was a huge hoof with 3 12 feet long front claws and 1 12ft long back claw, just like the footprint they came across earlier. He looked even higher, only to see a leg. Not just any leg. A human leg. When he reached out to touch it, it felt like the world's softest fur however.
Only half of the leg was visible but it was enough to tell everyone that there was no new species of dragon. However, there was a new beast discovered, which is just as good as discovering a dragon. Still, Hiccup was puzzled on what it was.
"What the heck..."
"What should we call it?" Astrid touched the beast's leg.
"Nothing yet. But once we get a look at what's above, we can come up with a name or a term."
Astrid and Hiccup mounted their dragons. The dragons however didn't budge as they didn't trust what was up there, even with their riders accompanying them. Overtime though, they flew up.
The higher they got, the more was revealed of the creature. First off, it was bipedal. Second, it had a human structure, yet some animal characteristics. It had a very long tail with bright red spines and tail fins at the tip, having Toothless's tail structure. It had large wings that reached 220.4ft., also resembling Toothless's wings, with the exception of the color. From what they've seen so far, the beast had a tan-tangerine-ous skin tone. It had very long, smooth jet black hair and 5 more claws on each finger, each of them being white.
Once they reached the head of the beast, they were 100 meters in the air. Out of exhaustion, Toothless and Stormfly were forced to land on the beast's shoulder. The beast obviously didn't mind or it just didn't feel them landing. Hiccup began to investigate what he could on the body. He walked up to the neck and applied pressure to it, enough to catch the beast's attention. It blew smoke from it's nose and turned it's head to Hiccup with it's intimidating dragon glare. The eyes and pupils were light blue with bright red irises. Everyone froze.
"Oh my..."
"That is...oh boy..."
