The Thunder and Lightning Riders

Chapter 7: We Meet Again

Alright folks. The last chapter was set so that Hiccup and Astrid were 20. Now they are 22.
It's the 7th year that they have ran away from Berk. I don't think I was very clear on this last time so, the couples are, Hiccup and Astrid, Eret and Heather, Dagur and Mala ( Dagur and Mala are around 26) Valka is alive! (I think that she is awesome so I need her.) alright.

Happy Ramadan! It is March 11, the first day of Ramadan when this was published.

That's it.

Peace out.

Hiccups POV

It was breakfast. And it was delicious. The whole council was sitting on the table and eating. Dagur and Mala had come for a visit. Me and Astrid were sitting next to each other, my mother was asking Mala how she was, Dagur was literally interrogating Eret and Heather on how long they had been a couple. All was normal. Me, Astrid and Eret were 22, and Heather was 21. Me and Astrid had our anniversary soon, and so did Eret and Heather. (No, I'm not married to Astrid. Not yet.) We were all planning to go to an island and just hang out over there.

We hadn't seen Berk for 2 years. Not since they shipwrecked on our island. We had heard from some of the traders that Ruff and Fishlegs had gotten married. It had shocked me and Astrid. We also found out that Snotlout was the new heir. We had told the gang and the council about Snotlout so finding that Berk was in the hands of a Jorgenson, who was my cousin, who was an idiot, served Berk right.

Time skip

Erets POV(new! Haha.)

"Alright. Mum, if we aren't back in 2 weeks time, and we haven't sent a terror, start looking for us." Hiccup said to Valka.

Valka nodded and said, "Aye. I've got it Hiccup. Just you boys take care of Astrid and Heather. Alright?" She stared at us expectantly. Ever since I started dating Heather, and Valka found out Hiccup was dating Astrid, Valka has been making sure that we take care of them.
"Sometimes it like you care more about them then you do about us." Hiccup grumbled.

Valka let out a laugh and hugged us both. She was like a mother to all of us! She had strictly told all of us that if we stopped at neighboring islands that didn't know who we were, we had to keep our masks on.

All of us.

I mounted Skullcrusher and we all took off. I saw Dagur look at me, arms crossed, drawing a finger over his neck in a straight line. This morning during breakfast, he had interrogated me and Heather. After breakfast, he had pulled me out and said that I had better take care of her, or his face would be the last thing I ever saw.

The flight started nice and Sunny. It was a beautiful day. Then the storm hit. It was light at first. A little drizzle of rain, some claps of thunder every now and then. Then it started pouring. Lightning was striking, thunder was increasing, and it was so dark.

Any sane person would have turned around waited the storm out. Not us. We were determined to be there on time.

Then a net came out of nowhere.

They got Astrid first. Hiccup and toothless launched down to get her, and they were successful. Then a bola caught toothless' tail, and he started tumbling down. Toothless envelopd both of them in his wings as they shot down. Heather and me raced to get both of them, but more nets, ropes, and bolas came at us.

a net came and wrapped around Skullcrushers horn, blocking his vison and pulling me tiht against his back. the next rope came from behind and grabbed Skullcrusher's tail and pulled him down. he roared angrily, trying to get out of the ropes.

heather was in a similar situation.  Windshear's legs were littered with ropes. heather did her best to try to slice them off with her axe, but the effort was empty when a bola came and knocked heather unconscious. Windshear wrapped her tail around heather as they both fell from the sky.

When we were done falling, I looked at Heather. She looked fine, just unconscious. Astrid looked a little bruised up, but mostly okay. She cradled her wrist with her hand and got up as hiccup lent her a hand. he murmured something into her ear then looked at me. Then I saw Hiccup. his helmet was on, with slight dirt scuffs on the edges. I could see a small amount of blood glistening on the outside of his suit, like the blood had dripped off from somewhere. Hiccup turned sharply, ran past me and ordered, "Protect Heather."

Then a man came and tried to run at Toothless.

Stoicks POV

A Nightfury. Again. This time, I charged at the dragon with my axe that had gone through generations of chiefs. Then a boy in black armor rammed into me. He had a sword, one that lit up on fire. It was around 4 feet long. He got in a fighting stance. This child wanted a battle. If the boy wanted a battle, he was going to get a battle.

Hiccups POV

Stoick charged at my dragon. I had made a promise to Toothless 7 years ago that I would never let anyone try to hurt him. The promise still stood. I rammed into the chief and then I got into a fighting position. I was in my dragon scale armor, (same as HTTYD 3) and I shouted to Eret,

Stoick got up and faced me. He had charged at my dragon. He came looking for a fight. He was going to get one out of me. No one got to hurt my dragon, especially not an absent father and a useless chief.

He circled me, then charged. I swiftly sidestepped then tripped him and he stumbled a little. This time I charged. He parried my strikes, but I was playing hard on offense and he couldn't keep up on defense much longer. As he charged towards me, I set a wall of fire between myself and him. With that he snorted and said, "Now how are you going to get through it?" I smiled under my mask a little and walked through the fire, charging an attack once more.

We fought for a little longer after that. Stoick got increasingly tired, and I was just warming up. I was much taller than I had been when I was 15. I was around 6'3 now, I had gained more muscle and stamina. I glanced over at Astrid and saw that Gobber had pinned her down. That was a mistake. As I looked, Stoick disarmed me, by flicking the hilt out of my hand with a strong jolt from the tip of his axe. No problem. I fought with my hands. But every time I tried to punch, Stoick met my hand with his axe. Now I was getting tired. Not soon after, Stoick had landed a blow to my face and then I was on the ground. My jaw hurt. He threw the axe, pining one of my arms onto the ground. It was dug deep into the earth, so I wouldn't be able to pull it out fast enough. Think about you after. Right now, Stoick is about to kill Toothless. I couldn't meet him with a weapon, I wouldn't get there fast enough, Stoick would kill now, ask questions later.

Heather was unconscious, and she couldn't help. Eret was a little busy with mobs of people trying to get him.
I did the only thing I could think of at the moment.

"NO STOP PLEASE DAD!"

So yeah. I know that's cliche but oh well. I have a plot that isn't cliche. It just takes some time to develop.

Ok bye
