Freedom at Last

Chapter 5: Hiccup encounters Viggo

Ingrid

As Hiccup and the others walked through the village of Berk, I still can't believe how Viggo literally made Berk into disastrous place.

Hiccup walks around and said, "I think it's best that I go alone."

Astrid seems horrified of his idea of trying to attempt to go to Viggo.

"Hiccup, you can't! You don't know what Viggo can do." She said, trying to persuade him to listen. I hate to admit it, but Astrid's right.

"Hiccup, are you sure you want to face Viggo alone? I'm going with you." I said, raising my axe.

He shook his head and placed his hand on my shoulder, "Ingrid, I appreciated that you care about me, but I don't think that Tames would like the idea of you tagging along with me. I'm sorry, but as a brother and friend, I just want you to stay with the others. That's final."

I knew in that point there is no argument with him.

Hiccup runs off to find Viggo.

"Do you think he can do it all by himself?" Astrid asks me, looking at the seventeen year old boy.

"Well, he is sixteen, I'm sure he can handle himself, lassie." Gobber reassures Astrid.

"That is what I'm worried about." I said, then knew that we had to rescue the other Berkians.

"Come on, we still have rescue the rest of the villagers until Hic comes back."

Hiccup

I saw the base and I knew that I had to face my own fears. I took a deep breath, unsure of what I'll be expecting when I opened through that door.

When I opened the door to Viggo's base, what I saw, was unbelievable.

I dropped my sword and run towards the man.

"Stoick, please wake up." I said.

Dad woke up and said, "H-Hayden?"

My emotions grew fiercely with anger.

I instantly grabbed my sword and cut the chains loose. As the chains fell, Stoick couldn't stand straight.

"H-How did..." Dad barely speak.

I replied, "It's been a year. Toothless and I lived in a village and like appreciates of what I'll do."

I helped him up and begin to walk out of the door, someone said, "Leaving so soon?"

Viggo was there, grinning like a madman.

Viggo

Well, this is quite interesting. A boy I never seen before came to my base and had the silliest attempt to rescue the Chief of Berk.

"So, I take it you are Viggo?" The boy asked with a smirk on his face. The boy had auburn hair hooded, and he wears a shield and sword.

"So, you heard of me." I said to the boy. He lay the Chief down.

"Yeah, and I really hate what you been doing to the villagers of Berk. Now I command you to leave or we'll fight."

Stoick said, "D-Don't Hayden. He's too strong."

"We'll see about that." Hayden said, "And Hayden isn't my name anymore. It's Hiccup."

Hiccup clashed his sword into mine and the battle had begun. 

Stoick

As I watched Hayden- I mean Hiccup, I was actually surprised that he can actually swordfight! Where did this personality come from?

Hiccup said, "You will never harm the people of Berk and force them against their will! It's unforgiveable and I despite it."

Viggo laughs, "It's not a game, boy. You really don't know what you're up against."

"I know that Berk isn't the exactly the place I like to live, but it was once my home and I will defend it, even means by spilling blood on people like you!" Hiccup said, angrily as he pushes all the strength he had with his sword and Viggo was impressed.

"You got quite a skill you have. Tell me, did Tames teach you that?"

Tames.. where did I hear that name before?

"Yes, Tames did taught me a thing or two. Besides, he's family." Hiccup replies, which I was stiffen.

Tames did great with Hiccup, like I didn't do such a great job as a father.

Viggo laughs as he slashes him on his left leg!

"Ahh!" He cries in pain, then he yells, "Toothless!"

The familiar sound came at once as Toothless wraps his Rider.

"Toothless, get us out of here!" Hic commands and we escaped.
