My Version of Gift of the Night Fury
A/N: Hey, guys! MiraculousDragonMaster here! I'm back with my Christmas special that I'm starting to begin today! I think this story could be about six or seven chapters, and I have a goal to finish this right before or right after Christmas.
And now that I got that boring stuff out of the way, let's begin! Lights, camera, action!
Chapter 1
A Holiday Snag
It's been a couple of months since the Vikings of Berk made peace with the dragons. Now, the island was under a blanket of snow.
This is Berk. This kind of balmy, fun-in-the-sun climate will give you frostbite on your spleen. The one upside is our annual holiday. We call it Snoggletog. Why we chose such a stupid name remains a mystery.
The Haddock house is then shown with snow on the roof on top of a hill overlooking the village.
But with the war long over and dragons living among us, this year's Snoggletog promises to be one to remember.
In each of their rooms, the Misfit Trio, aka Hiccup Haddock, his foster brother Ragnar Iverson, and their best human friend, Cosette Henderson, were all sleeping soundly until they heard firm but careful banging on the roof. They simultaneously rolled their eyes and snuggled deeper into their blankets, trying to ignore it. But the persistent pounding finally made them give in after two more times.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming." Hiccup mumbled sleepily, and put on his helmet that was made from his mother's armor. When he got out in the hallway, he heard two groans from his best friends' rooms.
Ragnar then stumbled after Hiccup outside, rubbing the drowsiness from his eyes and fixing a green wool scarf around his neck.
"You have got to be kidding me." He grumbled.
When the boys got outside, they looked up at the roof and saw Toothless, Hiccup's Night Fury, purring innocently at them.
"Oh, good morning, Mr. Bossy." Hiccup teased.
Toothless draconically chuckled at the tired boys, which they imitated back.
"Very funny, you early bird." Ragnar said.
"Maybe we could sleep in the stable again." Hiccup suggested.
"The first time we tried that, Fossil woke us and the whole village up with his roar." Ragnar reminded as his Boneknapper got out of the huge stable behind the house.
"And the second time, Violet tossed us all outside in the snow as a wake-up call." said Cosette, who had come outside, wearing black fur boots instead of her brown leather ones, and a brown fur coat with a fox fur trimmed hood.
At the mention of her name, Cosette's purple Grapple Grounder also came out of the stable.
"Good points." said Hiccup. Then he turned to Toothless. "Still, do you have to wake us up so early just to go fly-ing!" As he took a step, his prosthetic leg slipped on his ice. Luckily, Toothless caught him before he could fall.
"Stupid leg." Hiccup cursed quietly. "I'm okay, bud. We can go flying now." But then, Toothless belched in his face. "What the- ew! Ew, ew!"
"Oh, foul!" Ragnar cried, plugging his nose.
"Disgusting!" Cosette complained, burying her face in her coat.
"Toothless!" Hiccup reprimanded, chuckling a bit.
A few minutes later, the Misfit Trio were airborne with their dragons. They flew up and over clouds, then down through them to the seastacks.
Hiccup then saw a thin rock platform coming up. "OK, ready bud?"
He unhooked his prosthetic and balanced himself on the saddle. As they flew towards the platform, Hiccup leaped over it while Toothless soared underneath and caught him on the other side.
"Yes! Finally!" Hiccup cheered.
"Not bad, brother!" Ragnar complimented.
"That was pretty cool!" Cosette said with a smile, pulling her hood over her head.
Back on Berk, the whole village was decorating every house with wreaths and ornaments.
"That's perfect!" Gobber exclaimed as a Viking placed a wreath on one of the dragon housing hut beams.
A child dressed in a Gronckle costume walks up to Meatlug, Fishlegs' dragon, and playfully roars at her. She roars back and starts chasing after the laughing child.
"Attagirl, Meatlug." Fishlegs says to his dragon. In the beginning, he thought that Meatlug was a male, but Ragnar corrected him by identifying Meatlug as a female.
Meanwhile, Astrid was at the village Snoggletog tree with her female blue Deadly Nadder, Stormfly. "You ready, girl?" asked Astrid, holding up a few colorful shields.
Stormfly answered by raising her tail and showing her spines. Astrid tossed up the shields, and Stormfly fired some spines, each of them hitting their mark and nailing them to the tree.
"Who would've thought it, Gobber?" Stoick asked. Stoick was the Chief of Berk, Hiccup's father, and Ragnar's foster father. "Vikings spending the holidays with dragons! What would our forefathers say if they saw us now?"
"They probably said we're mad!" Gobber joked, making him and Stoick laugh.
"Well done, everyone!" Stoick says to the Vikings and dragons in the plaza. "I never thought I'd live to see this day: peace and happiness in Berk." When he said this, Stormfly nuzzled Astrid and she patted her snout. "I think this will be the best Snoggletog we ever had." Stoick finished.
Suddenly, an echoing roar split the air. Everyone looked up and saw hundreds of dragons flying above them; dragons of all species.
The Berkian dragons widened their eyes at the sight of the hordes of wild dragons.
"What in Thor's name?" Stoick said.
Hookfang, Snotlout's red male Monstrous Nightmare, suddenly roared and took off from his spot on a roof to join the hordes. All the other Berkian dragons quickly followed.
Vikings gave shouts of worry, calling out to their dragons, Snotlout and Fishlegs included as their dragons flew up.
"Where's the Trio?" Astrid wondered out loud.
Meanwhile in the sky, the Misfit Trio were enjoying their morning flight.
"What do you guys think? Go again?" Hiccup asked.
"I'm up for another round." Cosette said.
"Count me in." Ragnar agreed.
Suddenly, all of them were caught off guard by the hordes of dragons. Fossil and Violet both did a loop, making Ragnar and Cosette fall off them as they joined the others.
"Whoa!" Ragnar cried out, while Cosette yelped in fear.
Hiccup and Toothless then dove after them and caught them both; Cosette behind Ragnar, and Ragnar behind Hiccup.
"Fossil! Where are you going?" He shouted to his dragon.
"Violet!" Cosette cried out.
Toothless continued ducking beneath the other dragons flying past them. One close call caused a tail to knock off Hiccup's helmet off his head.
"Oh, no! My helmet!" cried Hiccup.
Toothless saw the falling helmet and began to dive rapidly after it.
"Toothless, no, no, no, no!" Hiccup shouts, trying to pull him from his dive, with his friends hanging on tight. "Whoa, Toothless, wait." He said as he finally got his dragon to stop above the wintry sea. "We can get it later, bud."
"He's right." Ragnar reasoned.
"Right now, we need to get back to Berk and find out what's going on." Cosette added.
Toothless quickly scanned the surface of the water, then complied.
It wasn't getting any better back on Berk.
"Where are you going?" A Viking cries out to a leaving Nightmare.
"No, no. Stormfly, please don't go!" Astrid pleaded to her Nadder as she flew off with the other dragons.
Toothless and the Misfit Trio finally arrived and the Trio jumped off onto the snow.
"Astrid!" Hiccup called out as he and his friends ran over to her, while Toothless looked back up at the cloudy sky.
"Guys, what's going on?" Astrid asked. "Where are they going?"
Before any of them could answer, Vikings crowded around and began bombarding them with questions.
"Why did they leave?"
"What's happening?"
"What if they never come back?"
"Whoa, stop!" Hiccup shouted.
"One at a time!" Cosette yelled.
"Give us some space, please!" Ragnar commanded.
"Calm down!" Stoick ordered as he made his way through the crowd. "Give them room to speak. Kids, where are all our dragons going?"
"Dad…. we don't know." Hiccup admitted.
"We never seen anything like this." said Ragnar.
"Even Fossil and Violet left with them." Cosette said.
The Misfit Trio turned and saw Toothless talking with Stormfly. From what they can tell, it seemed that Stormfly was wondering if Toothless was coming along. But he can't because he can't fly on his own. Stormfly then joined the other dragons as they disappeared into the gray winter clouds.
A/N: How's that for a first chapter? The dragons are gone. What will happen now? Well, we'll find out in the next chapter. I hope that I could post again by the end of the week. If not, then, next week. Hopefully not.
