A one shot Challenge with Vala411, The Dragon1010 , and I RedHawkdude.
The Prompt is as follows "Humans are one of the most feared species in the galaxy. Not due to superior strength,speed,skill or strategy. In fact, it's because in comparison to the other species, humans are just batshit crazy enough to try any half-assed plan they come up with."
So let the hilarity ensue.
P.S: After rewriting the starting point numerous times I decide to change my goal with this one and rewrite it today before posting, My original goal was to have a heavy scfi styled one where they pull off a crazy and insane rescue plan.... But I couldn't get it to read correctly so here goes a sappy love story version. Where we try and get Toothless and Hiccup together.
TOOTHCUP FICTION... DON'T LIKE DON'T READ

Hiccup POV
I look up at the daunting building in front of me as I prepare to enter for an interview with the board of directors of TerraMech. I take a deep breath before I walk up the steps and enter the building.
"Good morning, and welcome to TerraMech. How can I help you today" The lady at the front desk says as I walk up.
"Good Morning.." I pause as I read her name tag. "Sierra, I am here for a 10 am Interview with the board" I finish with a bit of nervousness showing by my shaking hands.
"One moment while I call done one of the Secretaries to escort you upstairs Mr." she pauses seemingly asking for my name.
"Haddock, Hiccup Haddock" I say nervously.
She presses a few buttons on the phone on her desk then starts talking "Astrid I have a Hiccup Haddock here for a 10am interview" Sierra pauses as the other person responds.
"Will do" She says before hanging up the phone. She then reaches under the desk and produces a visitors badge and hands it to me.
"Please head to the middle elevator and go to floor 205, Astrid will direct you where to go then" Sierra says pointing the the bank of elevators at the back wall of the lobby.
I walk to the elevator and press the up button then check my watch, it ticks over to 9:40 as I am waiting for the elevator. I wait another 2 minutes for the elevator to arrive and the doors to open, upon entering I see 11 buttons, 10 for the floors 200 and above, and 1 for the lobby.
I press the button for floor 205 and wait for the doors to close, just before they close I see a Draconian wave at me to hold the door, reacting as the door is closing I put my arm in the gap stopping the doors from closing.
The Draconian enters the elevator and glances at the panel to see what floor I selected without saying anything. Out of the corner of my eye I see the draconian looking at me causing me to become uncomfortable.
"What are you here for today?" The Draconian asks me to break the awkward silence.
"I am here for an interview with the board of directors" I say as I shuffle to the back of the elevator and lean up against the side because we have only made it to floor 30 now.
"How about you?" I now ask the Draconian.
"Same here" He responds.
We again lapse into silence while we wait for the elevator to reach the 205th floor.
I glance at my watch as the door opens and notice that the time is now 9:50 am.
Allowing the Draconian to exit the Elevator first I then exit and glance around the room before my eyes fall on a blonde woman behind a desk. I walk over to the desk and wait for her to notice me, during this time I fail to notice the Draconian leave the room as I am looking at the beautiful painting of the Draconian home world.
