Life Has It's Own Plans

Chapter: 4 Roles Reversed

Hiccup turned swiftly on his feet making his way towards the door. His friends walked behind him. The dragons at their sides.

"H-hiccup? My son?" Stoick whispered, emotion filled in his voice. Could his son really be here? And alive? Did the gods finally give him a second chance? Hiccup spon around, his face hard with hate. His finger pointed at the Chief.

"Not son! It was never son! You don't get to do that!" Hiccup spat.

"What-what are you talking about?" Stoick stuttered, shock and relife in his voice. His son is back, but not himself. Where was that creative, inventive being his son used to be? Did he finally grow up?

"You're alive? All this time you've been alive! And we grieved you!" Astrid screamed in shock and anger. Hiccup scoffed.

"Ha! Bullshit! Since when have any of you mutton-heads cared about "Hiccup the Useless?! Never! None of you ever cared! Not the Chief, not my cousin, not my so called friends! Nobody on this damned island! Except for Gobber and Gothi! Now I'm going home!" Hiccup bellowed, his face hard with a slight hint of red from exasperation. His eyes blocked with hurt and resentment.

"So we find out you were just a coward running away from your fears! You still are useless!" Snotlout sneered. In seconds Hiccup had Snotlout in the air, pressed against the wall his feet dangling off the ground. In a low, menacing voice, Hiccup said- "If you ever call me that again, I might just feed you to my dragon. Maybe then you all can whine that he has killed an idiot viking on this island."

But Snotlout pushed his luck too far, and did not learn to shut up. "What else could I call you? Fishbone? Runt? Hiccup?"

Hiccup pushed his finger into the back of Snotlout's neck and twisted it. Snotlout gave a pained moan, then Hiccup let go. The foolish viking hit the floor with a thud. Snotlout laid limp, even his mouth didn't even make a sound. Much to Astrids liking.

The vikings looked shocked. Excepted Astrid, which was quite relieved. Fishlegs looked scared, his eyes wide. The Twins seemed to enjoy it, and wanted to know how to do that. While Stoick, well remanded stoic.

"How did you do that?" Asttrid asked, astonished.

"Pressure point. Learned that one from her." Hiccup said, gustering to Mai. Then he walked out. The Vikings to shocked to stop him.

They all mounted their dragons and flew away towards Helium Gate, ignoring the shouts from the vikings. Stoick looked furious. How could his boy speak to him like that? How could he betray the tribe, betray him?! How could he have no care that he is home, this is his home. It's like his son really did die, and was replaced by that, that thing! But something Hiccup said stuck in Stoick's mind. He was never really a father. But he can be now. A determined look set on his face.

"Astrid, get your gang up. Find my boy and bring him home. We have unfinished business." Astrid just nodded, walking away with her friends, while Fishlegs dragged Snotlout behind him.

oOoOoO

"So how do we catch up with them? Hi- er... I mean, Drayce went by dragon. Our ships won't be able to follow." Fishlegs reminded Astrid. Her face scrunched up in consideration. Fishlegs was right, so how do they keep up?
"I don't care how we catch up to them! But he paralized me! I will-" Snotlout began.

"Oh, shut up Snotface! You had it coming! Plus, what makes you think you can take him? Or any of his friends?" Ruffnut accused.
"Plus, we were all given a moment of peace when you were out. But that's not the point! Fishlegs is right! We will go by boat. Lucky with Hiccup injured, that will hopefully slow them down. We need to go now. Fishlegs, gather up some food and blankets. Thorstons, get some weapons, just in case. Get anything you might need all of you!" Astrid instructed, getting the boat ready.
