Author's note: Hello fellow readers and writers, welcome to "Hiccup to Assassin". I'm glad to have taken over BlankSoraShiro's "Zero to Assassin" I hope to do his work justice as I put a spin of my own on it. One of the reasons I chose to adopt this story is because it is HiccupxOC. This story has so much potential and there are way too many Hiccstrid stories out there taking away the spotlight. If you disagree, it's probably because you aren't looking hard enough. Anyway, I challenge the many writers who love HTTYD to write as many HiccupxOC stories as possible. I plan to finish what BlankSoraShiro could not, so without further adieu here is chapter one of Hiccup to Assassin.

I DO NOT OWN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON OR ASSASSIN"S CREED.

Ch. 1 SO LEAVING!

Hiccup walked into the cove where he kept Toothless and said "We're leaving buddy, come on. We're going on a vacation forever."
Toothless bounced over and tackled Hiccup before licking him repeatedly.

"Stop, stop." Hiccup said pushing Toothless away from him.

"You know that doesn't come out." Hiccup said after stopping Toothless.

Hiccup packed his things on Toothless then took off into the sky. However they were unaware that a certain blond had seen them take off and was certainly on her way back to the village.

When Astrid got to Stoick's house she pounded on the door a few times.

"I'm coming." She heard someone say from behind the door.
A few seconds later Stoick opened the door and said "Oh, Astrid what can I do for you?"

"Hiccup flew off on a dragon." Astrid said quickly, but still slow enough to be understood.

Stoick stood there for a few seconds making sure he heard what Astrid said and replied with "Hiccup flew off on a dragon?"

"Yes he flew off on the back of a black dragon and I can show you where." Astrid said adding in more detail.

Stoick placed a hand on Astrid's shoulder and asked "Are you sure your jealously isn't getting the better of you?"
That made Astrid furious and she smacked Stoick's hand away.

"My jealously is not getting the better of me and when Hiccup doesn't show up tomorrow you'll see I'm right." Astrid then turned around and stormed off.

Hiccup and Toothless were a good distance away by this time. "So bud, what you want to do now?" Hiccup asked and got a coo in response.

"Go exploring it is then." Hiccup said.

The next day at the dragon killing arena everyone was waiting for Hiccup to show up, but he never did show up.

"Do you believe me now?" Astrid asked Stoick.

"Maybe he just lost track of time." Stoick said not wanting to believe what Astrid said.

"He's two hours late Chief, this isn't a 'sorry I lost track of time' kinda lateness" Astrid said.

Stoick sighed. "Fine, show the place Hiccup supposedly flew off on the back of the dragon."

With a smile on her face Astrid gladly ran out to the cove with Stoick in tow. After a short walk they reached to the cove where Hiccup and Toothless left from. When they got there Astrid showed Stoick the burned spot where Toothless slept and multiple black scales throughout the cove. Stoick studied the area for a while then asked, "Are you sure that you saw them?"

"Positive." Astrid replied sternly.

Stoick then clenched his fist in rage knowing what this meant. His son-Hiccup had betrayed him, the village, and the whole Viking way.

"Looks like I have an announcement to make." Stoick said before walking back to the village.

When Stoick arrived at the Kill Ring, with Astrid close behind, people began to question where Hiccup was. Stoick scowled at this and his mouth became sour.

"Hiccup left Berk after committing a treasonous act and is henceforth considered a traitor and an Outcast. He is no longer a Viking; he is no longer my son."

Everyone gasped at the news that Hiccup would commit treason. "What did he do?" Someone asked.
"He sided with the dragons." Stoick said, and then continued with "Now I believe we have a Monstrous Nightmare to kill, and since Hiccup is now banished and a traitor, the honor of killing it will go to Astrid Hofferson."

Astrid's eyes light up with joy at the news, no one else dared speak figuring that Stoick just wanted to move on from his disappointment of a son. Astrid walked over and grabbed her axe then entered the Kill Ring.

The Monstrous Nightmare was released from its cage, well more like it burst out of its cage, and ran around for a few seconds before its eyes fell on Astrid. The Monstrous Nightmare fired some of its lava like breathe at Astrid, who quickly dodged it. She then charged the Monstrous Nightmare and tried to bring her axe down on its head, but the Monstrous Nightmare quickly got out of the way. The Monstrous Nightmare capitalized on its action with a swipe of its tail. Astrid jumped over the tail and charged the Nightmare. The dragon moved, but Astrid managed to cut its side a bit. The dragon screeched in pain and fired some more of its lava like breathe at Astrid.

Astrid barely managed to escape the fire breathe. She then charged the Nightmare again and managed to strike it in the head, but it was only a glancing blow, leaving a cut on the dragon's head. The Nightmare roared in pain and rage again and charged Astrid. Astrid quickly rolled out of its way. In its rage the Nightmare slammed into the wall of the Kill Ring and stunned itself. Astrid took the opportunity to charge at the stunned dragon. She quickly swung her axe down on the Monstrous Nightmare's neck effectively decapitating it.
The crowd erupted in a cheer and began chanting Astrid's name. Astrid was smiling brightly over the fact that she killed her first dragon and had become a true Viking.

At this time Hiccup and Toothless were a good distance away from Berk heading east to explore the archipelago. They set up camp and both dragon and his boy went hunting in the woods.

"Hey bud why don't you stay here while I scout ahead, huh?" Hiccup suggested. Toothless warbled in protest at the idea. There was no way he was letting his human go into the woods by himself.

"Come on Toothless it'll only be a little while. I promise to bring back a big juicy boar. How's that sound?"

Toothless contemplated this and nuzzled into Hiccup's chest, giving him the okay.

"Oh thanks bud." Hiccup said patting his dragon. "I'll be back in a few." He said running into the woods.

As Hiccup walked through the woods with a spear he made, he couldn't help but feel he was being watched. He heard growling behind him and quickly turned about.

"Toothless?" Hiccup said nervously.

Nope, not Toothless, Hiccup was face to face with a herd/pack of wild feral boars. They were big and shaggy, but worst of all their eyes were red, as if they were possessed. Hiccup gulped and held his spear tightly. At this the boars charged, Hiccup quickly turned and vaulted off into the woods, the boars hot on his trail.

On Berk he wasn't much of a runner, in fact he wasn't of anything except a blacksmith apprentice and the Chief's son, but today he was the fastest boy alive, as the adrenaline pumped through his body he actually managed to stay ahead of the boars, but that wouldn't last long, he couldn't run forever, could he? He got his answer when he suddenly tripped over a rock. Quickly he rolled into a ball and was back on his feet. Speaking of feet, his were aching already, he didn't know how long he had been running but it felt like eternity. He looked back and the boars were getting closer, blood lust apparent in their eyes.

"TOOTHLESS!" he yelled in desperation. But nothing came; maybe he was too far for him to hear.

"The gods really do hate me."

All hope seemed lost when Hiccup saw a clearing coming up on his left.

Thank Thor! This is my chance!" he smiled. When the path came up Hiccup made a sharp turn to the left. The boars were not expecting this and slid as they tried to stay on their prey. For now Hiccup was safe that is until he almost ran off a cliff. As it turns out the clearing he saw was just a ledge and a long way down.

"Come on Hiccup think!"

He turned back the way he came, but was stopped by the wild boars. They had finally cornered their prey.

Now all hope was lost, the blood drained from his face as he fell to his knees, he looked up at the boars, if they had faces they'd be laughing at him, mocking him, calling him weak and useless just like at Berk. Suddenly their taunts echoed in his head.

"He showed up."

"He didn't get eaten."

"He's never where he should be."

"Pathetic."

"Useless."

"Is this some kinda joke to you?"

"You'll never be one of us."

Something suddenly snapped in Hiccup, he held his spear so tightly his knuckles turned white. He slowly rose to his feet, determination in his eyes as he glared at the boars.

"COME ON!" he roared. "You want a piece of me!?" he yelled at the boars. The boars seemed to agree as they charged at Hiccup without hesitation. When they got closer Hiccup ran forward and used his spear to vault over them. One of the boars had run too fast and fell off the cliff with a squeal. The others looked down at their fallen comrade and turned back to the boy that caused them grief.

Hiccup was smiling but he wasn't done yet.

"One down three to go."

Two boars came running at him from the sides. Hiccup quickly grabbed some dust from the ground and flung it into the eyes of the boar on his right. The beast became blind and squealed with pain. Hiccup turned and faced the other boar already upon his left. He sidestepped the oncoming boar a cut into its hind leg deeply and he did so with the blind one. Both boars were wounded and were limping, the slowly made their way into the brush to escape.

Hiccup turned and faced the last boar. It was bigger than all the other boars, maybe more intelligent, if that was possible, since it waited instead of attacking him.

"And then there was one." Hiccup smirked. The boar was not amused. Hiccup twirled the spear in his hand as he and the boar circled each other staring the other down.

It wasn't long until the boar attacked aiming the buck Hiccup with its tusks. Hiccup saw this and obliged by running atop the boars back, riding it. The boar was furious as it kicked back and forth trying to get the human off of it. Hiccup squeezed his legs together and grabbed the boar's fur firmly in his right hand. In his left hand he raised the spear and brought it down with all his might into the boar's skull. The boar reared up and Hiccup fell on his back with his spear. He quickly got up and faced the boar. Blood leaked from the top of it head like water but it was still standing. It charged once more but slowly this time. Hiccup sidestepped and pushed the beast onto its side, it huffed very heavily. Hiccup walked to its front, looking it in the eye. It reminded him of when he shot down Toothless. The boar looked up at Hiccup with anger.

"I'm not weak. I'm not useless." He murmured. "I am not weak! I am not useless!" he yelled raising his spear. The boar refused to show fear; it gave a look as if saying, 'Get on with it'.

"I AM NOT WEAK! I AM NOT USELESS!" he roared as he plunged the spear into the heart of the boar, with a quick squeal it died. Hiccup stayed there, hands still on the spear, whispering to himself:

"I am not Hiccup."

Toothless stayed at camp like Hiccup told him and waited for his return. During this time he had a long nap and dreamt of flying but that all was interrupted when he heard rustling in the bushes. The Night Fury shot up from his sleep ready to attack, when he caught a glimpse of someone coming. He looked closely and saw his human. Finally he had returned! Toothless bounded over to his boy a tackled him and licked him repeatedly.

"Toothless come on! This stuff doesn't wash out!" Hiccup smiled knowingly.

After Toothless stopped licking him he began to sniff Hiccup's clothes. Something strange happened. Toothless looked behind Hiccup and saw a large dead boar tied up in vines. His tongue hanged out of his mouth as he looked from the boar to Hiccup with astonishment.

"Yeah bud I killed it, I know, I can hardly believe it myself." Hiccup chuckled. "Come on let's eat."

A few hours later after Hiccup skinned, quartered and shared the boar, with Toothless. He got up and walked over to a pond with a dagger in his hand. He looked at his reflection. He saw a toothpick, he saw a weakling, and he saw Hiccup.

"No more." He said. He grabbed a handful of his hair and cut it off with the dagger. He repeated to process until his scalp was smooth as stone. He looked back at his reflection once again.

"Hiccup is no more."
