Fight or Flight

Urd dropped down two baskets of fish in front of Ragnar and Toothless to eat. She walked over Ragnar to help him shed off the dead skin around his red eye from the cream. Ragnar shook his head after it was peeled off and licked her cheek then looked at Astrid coming over. "Ready for the big event?" Said Astrid. "You should be asking Hiccup that." Said Urd taking away the baskets from the two night furies. "I dont have to. Hes more nervous about this test than we are." Said Astrid. Urd held the basket over her shoulder and the other with her hand that was injured. "I know. I am too. The Vikings will not be liking this especially dad." Said Urd walking with her. "You dont have to tell me. Everyone in Berk will be there." Said Astrid. "Thats because Hiccup was seen a runt." Said Urd. "What if it goes wrong?" Said Astrid. "We can figure something out besides Ragnar and Toothless will be safe here. The only way out is either climbing or going through my tunnels." Said Urd. "Still cant believe you dug those with Ragnars help." Said Astrid. "Hes like a brother to me and sometimes my child." Said Urd. Astrid smiled shaking her head once they reached the village. She and Urd made their way through the crowd splitting up on their way to the front where Stoick was. Urd went up the steps on the platform where Stoick walked forward to make his announcement. She looked at him and the crowd cheering for the event placing her hand on her small pouch. "Today we will be seeing Hiccup turn into a true Viking. Just like his sister Urd the Undertaker!" Said Stoick not seeing Urd rolled her eyes. "I always hated that title." Said Urd in disgust. "Everyone to the Ring!" Said Stoick. He smiled walking off and spotted Urd patting her back gently as they walked. "Ready to see your brother turn into a Viking." Said Stoick. "I dont know dad. Are you?" Said Urd smiling nervously.

They got to the throne chair with Urd and Gobber standing on both sides of Stoick. Hiccup comes in with his helmet as everyone was cheering him on. He grabbed the shield and Dagger turning to the doors as Urd looked at the woods where Toothless and Ragnar. The doors bursted open forcefully by a Nightmare who lit itself on fire crawling up to the chain ceiling blasting his fire at the villagers who moved out of the way. Hiccup watches it stop to face him getting to the ground going towards him. He began to drop the shield amd dagger raising his hands up as everyone started muttering. "What is he doing?" Stoick asled Urd who continued watching. "Just look dad. He knows whats he doing." Said Urd. Stoick looked confused as Hiccup threw his helmet aside and got mad. "Stop the game." Said Stoick. "No. Wait just a minute." Said Urd. "We dont have to fight them. They arent monsters." Said Hiccup trying to reason everyone. The nightmare slowly inched towards Hiccups hand calmly. "I said stop the game." Said Stoick grabbing his hammer. "Dad. No!" Said Urd attempting to grab the hammer, but it was slammed against the metal scaring the nightmare. The nightmare roared and began to attack making Urd and Astrid join in grabbing their weapons. Urd ran toward the nightmare while Astrid threw a hammer at his face distracting him while Urd jumped onto his head grabbing the horns. It began throwing its head around to get her off as he threw Urd into the wooden wall crashing right through. "Urd!" Said Hiccup seeing her get with a few scratches. "Go get out of here!" Said Urd. Hiccup heard Astrid and Stoick calling them over to the gates. He ran over dodging the blasts to help Urd up heading over to the gates but the nightmare whipped his tail knocking them back and pinned down Hiccup. Urd gasped then looked for anything to help free Hiccup and let out a very loud double whistle.

Ragnar lifted his head up from drinking water as Toothless did too. Ragnar flew up picking up Toothless to help climb up the cliff and ran to the village. He went ahead let out a roar and did a few warning shots at the nightmare. "Night fury!" Said a villager. Everyone dodged a blast to open the cage so Ragnar can jump on the Nightmare. Hiccup was free as Urd was being grabbed the vikings to keep her safe. He and Urd saw Ragnar get thrown hard against the wall then heard the sound of Toothless creating a blast to hit the Nightmare before it could go to them. Ragnar got up shaking his scales then got tackled down by Vikings who began chaining him. "No. Ragnar!" Said Urd using her strength to flip the men over on their back and started running towards Ragnar. "Keep her away from that Night fury." Said Stoick taking his axe out charging at Toothless. "Dont they didnt do anything wrong. Listen." Said Urd. Toothless snarled at Stoick and pinned him down ready to hit with his blast. "Toothless No./Stop!" Urd and Hiccup shouted at Toothless. Toothless did so looking over at them then Ragnar who was being muzzled by force and felt Stoick punch him in the face. He gotten up once the vikings gathered to chained and muzzle Toothless. Hiccup tried to go to him but Astrid held him back and looked at Stoick who just looked furious. He and Urd saw both night furies being taken away as Stoick dragged them to the house. Urd was the first to be shoved in then Hiccup almost falling to the floor. "Dad be mad all you want. Just let those dragons go." Said Urd. "And for more people get hurt or killed!" Said Stoick. "I know i screwed up but please dont let them hurt Ragnar and Toothless." Said Hiccup. "The dragons? Is that all you two care about?! We almost gotten killed." Said Stoick. "If you wouldve listen to us. It wouldnt have happened." Said Urd. "And we attacked them. They have no choice. There's something much bigger on that island they have to fear." Said Hiccup as Stoick stopped his pacing. "Island? The Nest. You know where it is?" Said Stoick. "He doesnt and neither do i. Only dragons can find it." Said Urd. They both saw a look on his face and shook their heads in disagreement as he past them. "No. Dad. Stop." Said Urd blocking his way but got pushed into one of the tables hard. "Will listen to us once in your life." Said Hiccup grabbing his but then ended up on the floor. "You two arent Vikings. Youre not my son. And you." Said Stoick glaring at Urd while she help him up. "You were never even my daughter from the beginning." Said Stoick leaving them alone in the house.
