Hiccup laughed with joy, feeling as the wind whip through his hair. Dear Odin, it was getting long. He let out another whoop of excitement as Toothless banked into a sharp dive. He loved this. Soaring through the sky with Toothless. It took his mind off of all the problems that came with being leader. He hated it. But he had to do it for his team. They meant the world to him. Toothless snapped out his wings and Hiccup pulled up, hard, on the saddle, stabilizing them. Then, the Night Fury zoomed off. Hiccup laughed as he felt the spray splashing onto his face.
"This is AMAZING!" He yelped.
Toothless warbled in delight. He only wanted to see Hiccup happy. The dragon pointed himself toward the little stone island to the East. The Riders had moved the Fireworms over there a long time ago. But it was still the pair's favorite place.
The two weave through the rocks, Hiccup pulling himself closer to the saddle. They spiraled past the the Queen. She blew a jet of fire at them, angry for being disturbed. They burst through the top climbing higher into the sky. Suddenly, the hair on the back of Hiccup's neck stood up. He had a strange feeling something big was going to happen. He shook his head, dismissing the thought.
"Come on bud! You can go faster." Hiccup teased him.
Toothless growled, rising to meet Hiccup;s challenge. He pushed himself, flying vertical to the ocean. A spray burst up behind them, as their speed continued to pick up. Man the was great. Suddenly, Toothless pulled up, until they were in a perfect, vertical climb, the dragon spinning gently. Hiccup let go, letting the wind pull roughly at his body. Toothless growled in disdain. Last time he had done this, he had fallen off. And Toothless cut himself trying to say the one legged rider. Not this time.
The Night Fury halted, twisting himself upside down. How he did this was beyond Hiccup's knowledge. Now, he was upside down on the back of said, idiotic dragon.
"SO helpful." Hiccup said, sarcasm dripping off his voice. Blood rushed to his head, face going red. "Two can play like that."
The boy clicked the tail fin back, causing the fin to close. Toothless yelped and the two dropped. He righted himself, snapping out his wings to slow their descent. Hiccup opened the fin back up and they slowed to a hover. Toothless roared his disdain to Hiccup, whacking him with an ear platt. He released his hold on his dragon and flopped back. He looked behind them, at the endless sea, longing to be out there exploring. He sighed, closing his eyes. Hiccup had a duty to his team...to Astrid. He couldn't jut abandon them to chase his own desires.
Toothless stopped suddenly, growling for Hiccup' attention. Pulling himself up, the rider strained to see what the Night Fury was seeing. Eyes scanning the horizon, he saw nothing except a dozen ships and the sparkling blue ocean. Wait.. His head snapped back. Dozen ships? Unless Trader Johann suddenly found a group of ships or his father had brought the whole armada on a visit, this was something more.
He pulled out his spy glass and Toothless slowly glided forward. They were too far, just tiny specks on the horizon, but he could tell they weren't anything he was familiar with.
"Let's go." Hiccup said.
He pulled himself in close as Toothless zoomed off. They approached the ships in a wide circle scanning for trademark signs. With the sails up, he didn't know the tribe.
As they shifted closer a call rang out. "NIGHT FURY!"
Now Hiccup recognized the ships. The Berserkers.
"What are you idiots doing?! Get out there and GET THAT THOR FORSAKEN NIGHT FURY!" The dragon rider would recognized that deranged voice anywhere.
In return, he practically spit out the man's name. "Dagur."
Arrows and nets came flying at the pair. To counter, the two fled higher into the sky and went for the other riders. As they left, the dragon warbled to Hiccup. This was not going to end very well.
The beloved dragon flew as fast as he could away from the ships. The feeling he had gotten around those ships was starting to rattle him. Something big was going to happen and there was no way it was going to be good. He pumped his wings harder as the ships faded into the horizon.
A pleased warble escaped the dragon's lips as the rocky island came into slight. He turned his head slightly to his rider, trying to see what the boy was doing. Hiccup had that odd look on his face though. Toothless knew what it was. Hiccup had a plan brewing that crazy mind of his. He was in deep concentration and Toothless wasn't going to be the one to break it. As they approached the island, a blue dot streaked toward them, followed by a loud worried voice.
"Toothless! Praise the gods. We were worried about you two! You weren't at the island and we all thought something had happened to Hiccup. Astrid's pissed though." It was Stormfly and Astrid. Toothless glided up next to the Nadder and the two riders began to talk.
"Gee thanks for worrying about me." Toothless responded with sarcasm. It practically bled out of him. Ever since the dragon and rider met, they had both become increasingly sarcastic. It probably had something to do with the fact that they rubbed off on each other. In both good and bad ways.
"Astrid. No time. We have a big situation on ours hands right now. We have to round up the riders and tell them to be prepared for a long fight." Hiccup informed the blonde. She could that Hiccup was also in his head, trying to work out an ideal plan.
"Of course." She knew as well as he did that there was no way to get any more out of him.
Hiccup patted the Night Fury's head. "I need to get something from the hut. Kay?"
Toothless nodded and sped after Stormfly. The two split as they reached Dragon's Edge. Toothless tucked in his wings and descended in a gentle dive. The two landed gracefully in front of the hut as Hiccup leaped off. The boy ran in as Toothless paced, waiting for his friend to return. How was this going to turn out?
"Sorry buddy. Couldn't find it." Hiccup reappeared a few minutes later. He had a crooked smile on his face as he brandished his new shield. Toothless just rolled his eyes in return, sending a slight glare his way. How could that boy be so calm when his dragon had such a disturbed feeling?
Toothless growled as they leaped back into the air. They sped as fast as they could back towards Dagur's last location. Stormfly, Astrid, and the other riders were already on their way. If the two hurried, they would make it to the others before they did anything rash.
Turns out, you will never make it in time. The twins had gone down to engage the now closer Dagur, wanting to start it off with a BOOM! Both Hiccup and the Night Fury rolled their eyes as they heard the explosion. Snotlout went in after with his war cry as, Hiccup reached Astrid and Fishlegs.
"One of these days they are going to get themselves killed." Hiccup growled, scowling with disdain.
"Who knows, maybe that day is today." Astrid laughed as she too dove down into the fight.
"Really Stormfly?!" Toothless yelped. The Nadder just sqwaked in return.
"Ready Hiccup?" Fishlegs asked.
"At least one person waits for me." Hiccup said. Together they joined the fight.
Toothless felt a resolve settle in him as he released his first shot. Don't worry Hiccup, I won't let anything happen to you.
