The Journey - Book 1 (HTTYD X OCish Reader)

CHAPTER 9

She made an approving noise before raising into the air, flying through the clouds. You could hear the excited yells of the other teens behind you and smiled. Berk was about to change.

As you flew to the scene, all boats were burning and the big dragon was about to shoot at Stoick and Gobber. "Fire!" you commanded, every dragon firing at the side of the big dragon's head.

"Ruff, Tuff, watch your backs!" Hiccup commanded as you flew out of the smoke next to him and Astrid.

"Astrid, take over flying the Nadder! Hiccup, jump on Glacier and I'll take you to Toothless!" you yelled after him.

Both of them nodded and Hiccup jumped, Glacier catching him with her feet. "You sure you'll be okay?" you asked.

"Yes! I'll be back in the air in a bit," he assured. You nodded and dropped him off at the burning ship, going back to the others.

"Fishlegs, break it down," you said when you joined the others back up in the air.

"Okay. Heavily armored skull, small eyes, big nostrils, good sense of hearing and smell," he informed.

"Thanks. Snotlout, Fishlegs, find its blindspot and confuse it. Twins, find out if it has a shot limit, make it mad. Astrid, you come with me and help get the people further away from here. If there's going to be a bigger fight then we have to make sure we don't injure anyone else," you commanded. The people nodded and went to their tasks.

As you had carried away a few of the Vikings, you saw Fishlegs plummeting to the ground. You caught him mid air and carried him to the crowd. Next, you picked up the about-to-fall-Snotlout.

"Fire!" you commanded Glacier, who started firing multiple shots at the big dragon, using a different angle every time to throw it off. Hiccup should be back already, you thought. I hope he's okay. I can't check though, I have to keep this thing distracted.

You saw Astrid land safely, keeping away from the fight. A smart choice.

"Need any help?" you heard a familiar voice from beside you.

"Gladly," you smiled at Hiccup.

"It has wings," Hiccup said, going upwards at a high speed, you easily keeping up. "Let's see if it can use them."

You smirked as you dove down towards the ground again, both of the dragons shooting a shot at the big dragon. It made it mad. Mad enough to make it fly.

"Let's split up!" you yelled, flying off in one direction while Hiccup flew in the other. You were still flying the same way but wide enough to not be in one-shot range.

It seemed like the big dragon was going after Hiccup for now, making this the perfect chance for you to fly above the big dragon, trying to make a plan.

--- "A downed dragon is a dead dragon."---

"Get it higher up!" you yelled to Hiccup.

"Got it!" he yelled back, not stopping to question why.

As you two disappeared into the clouds, you flew next to Hiccup. "We have to get it to fall somehow. If it falls from this height, it'll be dead."

He nodded. "Just follow my lead."

Both of you started blasting it from various places, trying to get it to fall.

It got mad and started firing everywhere.

Toothless' tail fin caught fire.

"Okay time's up," Hiccup said. "Let's see if this works."

You nodded.

You flew in front of the big dragon for a bit.

"Now!" Hiccup yelled and both of the dragons fired in its mouth, making it burn from the inside.

You got out of the way just as it crashed to the ground and exploded. But its spiky tail knocked Hiccup off the saddle.

"No!" you yelled, diving down after him. "Go, go, go, go!"

Glacier roared and you looked up, seeing the tail come down towards you. "Are you kidding me?" you groaned. Glacier turned vertically and managed to avoid it, but it knocked you off the saddle, sending a stinging pain through your shoulder as the hard scales of the tail stabbed into your skin. You could only feel pain and then, darkness.

***

Stoick yelled for his son, but you were forgotten. Your mother had died before you arrived to the scene so no one was there to search for you. You were under Glacier's wing, far from Hiccup and Toothless.
