"Hiccup, hiccup, hiccup!" the Vikings cheered, Stoick walked up to the front of the stage that overlooked the roaring Vikings around the Arena "Well, I can show my face in public again!" Stoick joked sending the crowed into laughter, he then patted his hand quieting the crowd

"If someone had told me that in a few short weeks, hiccup would from, well" Stoick shrugged his shoulders "Being, uh, Hiccup, to placing first in dragon training, well I would've tied him to a mast and shipped him off for fear he'd gone mad!" The crowed cheered, pumping their fists into the air,

"And you know it!" Stoick shook his head, a smile plastered on his face laughing.

"But here we are. And no one is more surprised, or prouder than I am" hiccup and Ullr both had a look of uncertainty,

"Because today, not only will this be the first back-to-back dragon killing ceremony. My Boys become Vikings, today... They become ONE OF US!" Stoick roared raising his fist in the air, the crowd erupted in cheers throwing their fists high as well.

"Be careful with those dragons" Astrid walked in quietly from behind us Ullr gulped, "at least he knows what he's facing" Hiccup nodded "it's not the dragon I'm worried about"

They watched as the father sat down on the throne, directly opposite from the gates of the arena

"What are you going to do?" she asked as both brothers tried to calm their shaking nerves.

"Put an end to this, I have to try" Hiccup declared before turning to astrid "Astrid, Ullr, if something goes wrong, just make sure they don't find toothless."

Astrid and Ullr nodded at each other turning back to hiccup "We will, just promise me it won't go wrong" before hiccup got to say anything Gobber rounded the corner. "It's time hiccup. Knock 'em dead" he encouraged. Hiccup walked into the arena putting on the helmet their dad had given him, Gobber closing the gate behind him as he walked over to the armor stand as cheers went around the arena, chanting his name, he picked up a shield and a small knife trying to put on a fierce look as he stared at the cage in front.

"I'm ready" Hiccup breathed out nervously as the cheering crowd quickly silenced themselves

The wooden pillar that was holding the iron gates of death closed, rested in the air for a moment before the Monstrous Nightmare barreled out covered in flames, roaring like a wild boar, it darted around the arena's walls spewing fire at some unfortunate Vikings who were lucky enough to dodge out of the way.

The Orange and black Nightmare crawled over Hiccup going back to its open cage locking sights with him before it lowered itself slowly, it growled approaching him making Hiccup walk back slowly, dropping the knife and the shieled holding out his hands.

"Hey, it's ok. It's ok" hiccup stopped, taking off his helmet and looking at the Nightmare. "I'm not one of them" he threw it to the ground, gasps of shock and horror the Nightmare eyed him cautiously, "Stop the fight" Stoick's voice echoed as hiccup held out his hand to the dragon, locking eyes with it.

Astrid and Ullr looked at each other with worry "this is going to go wrong, get ready to wedge it open"

"NO!" hiccup said reaching his hand further to the dragon, its eyes locked onto the hand in a sort of hypnotic trance. "I' need you all to see this." Hiccup announced confidently. "They're not what we think they are" he looked to his da then back at the Nightmare "we don't have to kill them"

"I SAID, STOP THE FIGHT!!!" Stoick roared slamming his metal hammer against the bars denting it.

When hiccup was about to rest his hand on the dragon's snout, its pupils retracted to slits, he flinched his hand back just in time for it to not be bitten off, he yelled and ran away, the Nightmare hot on his trail, sending out a stream of fire at him, that menacingly chased after him.
