HTTYD A New Boy in Berk

Chapter 5 Learning to fly again

After leaving Toothless and Thunder on the cove Hiccup and Blake run back to the village and get to the top of one of the towers, Gobber called for a meeting in there, Hiccup and Blake arrive in time to hear the story about how Gobber lost his hand and foot

"And with one twist took my hand swallowed it whole, and I saw the look on its face I was delicious" Gobber said with a dramatic voice like it was a tragedy "He must have passed the word because it wasn't a month before another took my leg"

"Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon and if your mind was still in control of it? You could still kill the dragon by crushing its heart or something" Fishlegs said and that commentary make the teens look at him with confused expressions on their faces

"I swear I'm so angry right now" Snotlout said crushing a bone on the chicken he was eating "I'll avenge your beautiful hand beautiful foot, I'll chop the legs of every dragon I fight with my face"

"It's the wings and tail what you really want, if it can't fly it can't get away, a downed dragon is a dead dragon" Gobber said making Hiccup's and Blake's eyes wide, they looked at each other and nodded before standing up and leave the others with Gobber

"Alright I'm off to bed and you should be to, tomorrow we get to the big ones, we slowly but surely making our way to the Monstrous Nightmare but who will get the honor to kill it?" Gobber said

Astrid suddenly noticed the absence of Hiccup and Blake she looked to the bottom of the tower and saw them walking away but she decided to ignore them and go back with the others

Hiccup and Blake arrived at the forge and got inside Hiccup's workshop and started to work, a few hours later they made it a new tail fin for Toothless

"Do you think it will work?" Blake asked "I hope so but what about Thunder? Should make something for him?" Hiccup asked

"It won't be necessary his wing wasn't broken so it will heal in no time however he'll need to get used to fly again" Blake said

"Ok then" Hiccup yawned "Good night, Blake"

"Good night, Hiccup" Blake said

The next day they decided to go to the cove before training bringing the new tail fin for Toothless, one bag of fish also for Toothless and 1 bag of mutton of Thunder

"Hey, Toothless, Thunder" Hiccup called for the dragons "We brought you breakfast, I hope you are hungry"

"For you Thunder I brought you some mutton I hope you like it" Blake said opening the bag in front of Thunder who happily start eating

"As for you Toothless I brought you some salmon, cod and an eel" when Hiccup said eel Toothless sated to growl at his food so Hiccup quickly pulled out the eel making Toothless scream in horror

"No, no, no! It's ok" Hiccup said throwing the eel as far as he could "Yeah I don't like eel either" after the eel was gone Toothless stated to eat without noticing Hiccup walking behind him, at that point Thunder finished eating and stood next to Blake and the two of them looked at Hiccup

Hiccup was able to reach Toothless tail and started to put the new tail fin on it, Toothless was able to feel something on his tail and started to slowly expand his wings to fly, Blake notice this and tried to warn Hiccup

"Umm Hiccup you might want to grab on to something" "Why do you say-" Hiccup was interrupted when Toothless started flying "THAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" Hiccup screamed grabbing to Toothless tail for his life

After a few seconds of flying Toothless started to fall but Hiccup was able to open the tail fin before crashing, this made Toothless to go higher into the air "Oh, my it's working" Hiccup said

They started to fly back to the cove "Yes, we did it" Hiccup said, Toothless flew over the lake of the cove and aggressively moved his tail making Hiccup fall crashing on the lake

However, with no one making sure that the tail fin stays open Toothless crashed into the lake as well "Yeah!" Hiccup cheered jumping on the lake, he swam back to the ground and reunite with Blake

"So how was it to fly?" Blake asked "It was awesome!" Hiccup said still full of adrenaline

Toothless and Thunder roar gently to each other having their own conversation

"We should go back to the village before training starts or my dad will be suspect from us, but first, we should go back to your house so you can put some dry clothes on" Blake said pointing at Hiccup

"True" Hiccup said

Later that they the teen were at the arena with a bucket of water each "Today's lesson is about team work" Gobber said when a green gas started to take over the arena "A wet head can breathe fire, the Hideous Zippleback is extra tricky, a head breathes gas the other head lights it, your job is to know which is which"

When the gas completely took over the teens were divided in three teams, in the first one were Snotlout and Tuffnut, on the second team were Astrid and Ruffnut, and on the third team were Hiccup, Blake and Fishlegs.

"Razor sharp serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion, prefers ambush crushing its victims-" Fishlegs said nervously "Would you please stop that!" Hiccup and Blake whisper/yelled to Fishlegs interrupting him

Meanwhile with Snotlout and Tuffnut they were back-to-back searching for the Zippleback "If that dragon shows any of its faces, I'm gonna- there!" Snotlout interrupted himself when something appeared on the gas so he and Tuffnut launch the water at what they thought was the Zippleback

"Hey it's us idiots" Ruffnut said, it appears that what Snotlout and Tuffnut thought was the dragon they were actually Astrid and Ruffnut "Your butts are getting bigger we thought you were a dragon" Tuffnut said while laughing "There's anything wrong on a dragon like figure" Snotlout said

That earned an Astrid's punch on his face and Ruffnut launched her bucket to her brother making him fall but he suddenly disappeared leaving his helmet behind

"Wait" Astrid quickly said to Ruffnut, then the Zippleback's tail made them fall and Tuffnut appear out on nowhere "Oh, I'm hurt I am really hurt!" he yelled while running crashing with Blake in the process making him fall and also dropping all of the water in his bucket "TUFFNUT!" Blake yelled

"Chances of survival are dropping into single digits now" Fishlegs said then one of the Zippleback's heads started to approach Fishlegs who got nervous and threw the water to it but that head was the gas one "Oh, wrong head"

Then the head began to cover Fishlegs in the gas and he ran away screaming "Fishlegs!" Gobber yelled when he saw what happed

The second head of the Zippleback appeared in front Hiccup "Now Hiccup" Gobber said, Hiccup launched his water but it only hit the ground "Oh, come on" Hiccup groaned

The Zippleback advanced making Hiccup fall on the ground "HICCUP" Blake and Gobber yelled

When Hiccup stood up the Zippleback started to walk away in fear "Back! Back! Back!" Hiccup said, Blake realized what was happening and he run to help Hiccup "Don't make me tell you again"

"That's right back into your cage" Blake said "And think about what you've done" Hiccup finished throwing the eel he had hidden cornering the Zippleback, after he and Blake close the cage, they turned around to see the other teens and Gobber completely amazed on what they saw

"Uh, okay so are we done because Blake and I have some things to do" Hiccup said awkwardly "Right Blake?"

"Uh, yeah sure so... see you tomorrow" Blake said before he and Hiccup raw away

"So that was a little awkward" Blake said

"I know but we could use what we learn with Toothless and Thunder in order to pass Dragon Training without hurting the dragons" Hiccup said

"That is a good idea, so I guess we have a lot of work to do then" Blake said

"So, let's get started" Hiccup said
