And ill tell you the rest at the end of the chapter! READ ALONG FRIENDS!
-Hiccup's P.O.V-
I don't know, but somehow I understand him. I know what I should do and what I must do. He winked at me, smiled and walked off. I just looked at him walking away, with a surge of inspiration to surge through my body. I have nothing else better to do but to read that dragon manual Gobber was talking about. Maybe there will something on a Night Furry, like a separate book or perhaps a pamphlet perhaps. Annddd it's raining, was it doing that before? I was more interested in what John had to say to actually be able to tell and care. It rains here too much to even give a damn. A lot is stirring through my head at the moment, what I can do to be like him. To be as strong as the warriors, to be as fierce, as deadly, as agile. That's when it struck me, like a bolt of lightning. "Watch me"… Watch me be something great, something more and be someone. And the key to that lies in the night. In the Night Fury. I will fight with an infinite scorn in my heart to fuel my inducement to be someone. To show those who said "You can't, or you are too small" and somehow I fell, deep down that that is the same thing he thought as well.
-Lance's P.O.V-
I am not sure if he noticed or not, but after training Hiccup ran his way right past our little 'house' and by house a little shack with hay. But as he runs by, he has a shield and a fish. And he is heading inland. Where can he be going inland with a fish and a she- … No! Can it be? Is he actually? So many possibilities are streaming through my head like an open river. I mutter to myself, "you crazy bastard, so that's your plan." He must be going to where he shot down that dragon. Where the Night Fury is. Without even thinking I grab my M-4 and one mag, nothing else. No helmet, no body protection, nothing. Just a marine and his rifle. I'm slowly but steadily following him. Staying far enough that he won't notice me, but close enough that I can keep an eye on him without losing him from my sight. My plan of approach was being questioned in my head. Should I simply watch, run in? I'm more leaning towards going right up to go with him in case he needs me but I am not sure, scaring him won't be helpful. So I might just make my appearance then and there with the dragon. I notice in front of me Hiccup is coming to an opening. A beautiful one if I may add. So I feel that it is a nice idea to flank around but remain unseen. Yeah, being hidden is probably a smarter idea. I will simply keep an eye on him in case something goes south. Besides, if this works out. This will be his moment to shine and to show he is someone amazing. And there is no better way than to do it with a dragon. The Bane of their existence and he plans on…what is he planning on doing?
Night has fallen and I'm and astonished at what I saw Hiccup do. What he did with that dragon. Right now I was waiting for him in the smithy. Mainly because he always goes there… so I have found out. They were almost done having dinner as well up with Gobber, Astrid and the others in which I don't care to learn their names. But they were finishing up but I do hear someone coming near here.
-Hiccup's P.O.V-
I got all the ideas in my head. The tail, I know what I got to do I say to myself as I leave the group to go to the Smithy.
"This is going to be great" I said to myself
Blowing down the stairs grabbing my book and start to drawing my designs for Toothless' tailfin. This is going to be great! Grabbing the leather notebook and tossing it on the desk taking my coal pencil and started drawing. I use the picture I drew of the Furry to model off of and work on from, making it look exactly like the adjacent tail. Finishing that I grab a larger piece of paper and start drawing the schematics of the tailfin. Starting with the tail itself, the brace came next drawing on the outside of the tail then came the leather fin. Following suit came the mathematics, the angles the functions and sizes. I don't know exactly how big so this is a one shot chance as of now. Content with the work I turn around and grab some metal and threw it on the fire and got to work.
-Lance's P.O.V-
How did he not see me is beyond my belief, but getting up would probably cause him to scrap the project so I waited it out. Using the skill of patients that was drilled into me in sniper school I am able overcome my ongoing curiousness of what in the hell is he doing. But was that intense stuff, learning to be unseen by human eye and just sit there…and sit there, not making any movement or sound but just watch and wait. Wait for the calmest moment. At the point that would be no wind and the less humidity which generally involved just waiting around nightfall. Just imagine sitting there from 0100 up till 1300 without moving a muscle except for the occasional update to Baseplate or use the hardbox to upload pictures of your H.V.T (High Value Target) and his little entourage. It is some crazy stuff to do. But in this case I'm on a stool in the corner not skull dragging and my life doesn't really depend on it either so I am a bit more lax but non-the less I am not moving a muscle until he gets into his work or when he notices me.
Just watching him –to my surprise- is rather enjoyable. The determination on his face, his motive, his driving force. And this is where he intrigues. MARSOC, Force Recon, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers and just normal forces all look for this. If we have Hiccup and what's his face… Snout, Snoutface, Snoutlaugh, OH! Snoutlout! There if we have Snoutlout and Hiccup at Basic Training or Buds or whatever you want in the military let me tell you that with a snap of your fingers say good-by to Snoutlout and let me tell you why. Snoutlout is all meaty big, yes that's nice but too big. If he is running in the sand he will just get slowed down with gear on his back, plus his teamwork skills. During the kids in their training, the confident girl ummm Astrid I believe. Was about to bash the dragons head in but Snoutlout busted her away to get the kill. Now if he instead watched her back or came up with a follow up shot on the dragon that would show good teamwork. Every Marine always depends on one another. Everyone has each other's back, but if the Staff Sergeant with their eagle eyes sees any sign of mist trust or will be unable to help out will be gone before you can say 'but'. As for Hiccup he proves himself in a different sense. For every soldier in any training knows that it is 10% muscle and 90% mental. Hiccup doesn't need to be great and strong like the others, he just needs to dig deep and keep moving forward. If you look at a picture of any soldier in Special Forces notice that they aren't huge people, they are all relatively small. Small being the fact that they aren't giant body builders and can touch the tops of their head and not have their muscle get in the way of themselves. They are stocky but small and lean. Also they can deal with stress. That is a very important part, if you are under fire and the noise is driving you insane that can be a huge problem for you and your teammates were it will put them all at risk. They need to be able to be calm in the worst decision and make a smart one in return. The body is a lot stronger than the mind. If his mind is saying that he can't do another push up, he damn will do another push up until the muscle collapse on himself and he physically can. That's what it means to push yourself, when your mind says to stop but you keep driving forward till it is impossible to go on. And that is what Hiccup is showing to me. He is doing exactly what I said he should do. And I am happy about it.
He is far into his work so I might as well budge in. Getting up I walk up behind him. Arm's length away in case he double backs and whacks me across the face with a burning hot piece of metal.
"By showing others that you can do what they you can't I honestly did not think this is what you have in mind." And was his expression great.
-Hiccup's P.O.V-
"HOLY SHIT" I practically scream to out loud. Not in anger but in shock. In shock that someone went up right behind me and started talking. I quickly whirl around to see Lance.
"OH, Hi Lance. Hi Lance. Hi Lance" I repeatedly saying slowly moving around him to the desk praying he hasn't already seen them. But with the look he gave me I highly doubt it.
"Wha-what are y-you doing here?" stuttering
"Normally I would ask you the same thing but since I already to know you are up to. I am here to see what you had in mind and I must say I am greatly impressed!" he says with a rather welcoming smile
Oh, gods he knows, he knows. Did he tell my dad? Did- wait impressed?
"What? Y-you are impressed?" with a hint of concern
"I thought you would be doing push-ups or something but this is a very pleasant surprise."
"y-you aren't mad? Shocked? Concerned? Upset? Disappointed?" quickly following up
"Shocked? Oh I am really shocked! But not in your sense. More happy about it than mad or angry."
"How?" I say with my jaw practically touching the floor.
"Look, I saw you in the cove. Apologies, I was really curious. And I am rather moved by what you did. You literally just befriended the enemy. And even the most feared enemy as well. Plus by the looks of it you are trying to save it! And if you want my honest opinion, I envy you too. Though I don't think your dad or anyone of your village will appreciate it, maybe my boys. But trust me; your secret is safe with me." He said winking.
"But I still want to know everything. If I am going to be able to help you, you are going to need to be open to me. Tell me what you plan on doing, what you don't want to happen and how. Give me the break down. Alright? Besides, I am not sure if I told you but since I was a kid, I always loved dragons. But that's a story for another time. Just, tell me what it is you have in mind and how can I help!"
"Well to start? Don't tell anyone. Maybe your guys but no one from my village and swear that too. Plus, erm…. Can I give you the breakdown tomorrow or something? I need to finish this, plus I am not 100% sure what it is I am actually doing." I shyly state.
"Yes sir" he says and gets up starting to walk to the door but stops at the door frame. "When do I meet him?"
Now that was a sucker punch.
"After I fully get to befriend him first" I say with my goofy smile.
With a smile he turns and walk out laughing and I can faintly here say one more thing
"Hehe. Good shit"
-Lances P.O.V-
Walking into the door of our hut with a giant smile on my face and to see everyone lying down. I see Josh all the way in the back and walked over to him who was surrounded by Bay and Neil. Sitting down next to them, they silently said.
"I had this crazy idea, but what you do if someone actually befriend a dragon here?" I say
"That would be pretty baller" Neil said
"Stupid but pretty cool" Bay said
And then we looked up at Josh.
"Ugh, you caught me, his name is Kitty-Cat meow Face" he said with a smirk
"Fuck you" I say with a smile
" '.shit" Bay said
And Neil is just drinking some water.
"No seriously what?" I said again but seriously
"Well, he got balls and I jealous even though a dragon killed some of us."
"Good, cause Hiccup just befriended a Night Fury"
"What?"
"What?"
Before I look to Neil he sprays the water in his mouth all over Josh.
"Imma keel you." he says turning to him
"You are lying" Neil says
Shaking my head. It's the truth, I have seen it all. But I promised not to tell anyone in the village. And so help me god if anyone of you do.
"We got you" Josh says for everyone I looked to the others and they had a small smile.
"I'll tell the others later. Cheers gents" I say laying down and going to sleep.
Enjoy it? It's a bit try, but I got a loud surprise coming up in due time. I'm still on working on how and where to fit it in but it will be done! But on another note, the votes well… only got 2 XD but I hate making people upset so here is what I'm going to do. I'm going to finish the main story line for HTTYD 1, then start a new-ish thing that cuts off. AND THEN IMMA GET INTO HTTYD2 ! HAHA WOOOOOOOT well also I'm working on trying to add a certain song to each chapter. I view these things as movies in my head and I absoluty love music so yeah! Be warned you may here electro into it, I just feel that each song has an appropriate use to it. Plus there might be a lot of MW2 score in the song, maybe even HTTYD OCT into it. It all just have to fits into the story. Well I will promise ill try and update sooner. But enjoy ladies and gents, and see you next time! OH and thank you Movielover48 for reviewing!
