The Dragon Warrior (HTTYD Fanfiction)

Chapter 10: NO! PLEASE!

Last time on 'The Dragon Warrior' :
"Toothless, wake up! Someone is coming!"

"Do you know those voices?"

"Step away from that Night Furry, boy."

"Let's go!"

"You're not going anywhere!"

"It's good to see you again, Valka."

"We've been captured by Stoic."

"Valka! I have to go now or Stoic will kill Toothless!"

"Go. Protect your friend."

"TOOTHLESS!!!"
~~~~~~
Hiccup's P.O.V:
"TOOTHLESS!!!" Everyone turned around to look at me when I yelled my best friend's name. Fortunately, Stoic included.

"Why are you protecting this beast, boy?" Seriously? Boy? I'm practically a head shorter than you!

"Because he's my best friend! And he's not a beast!"

"He's a dragon!"

"Dragons are not blood thirsty monsters!"

"They've killed hundreds of us!"

"And you've killed thousands of them!"

"THAT BEAST KILLED MY SON!!!"

That one immediately made me shut up. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't sympathy, it was shock. I know that Toothless 'killed me' five years ago, but hearing him say 'son' caught me off guard. I haven't heard dad calling me that in twelve years.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Stoic re-advancing towards Toothless. No!

"Stop! Please! Don't kill him! He's all I have left!" I yelled for Stoic to spare Toothless life but he didn't even acknowledge my presence at all!

He raised the axe over his head ready to deliver the finishing blow, but when Toothless looked at me with fear and helplessness in his eyes, I finally snapped.

My eyes turned into slits and glowed a toxic green. My body started to heat up and caught fire, just like a Monster's Nightmare. Literally.

The person that was holding me down gasped and stumbled backwards. I didn't even turn to look at who it was. I have a more important task at hand.

Without wasting any more time, I quickly put myself out and ran towards Toothless, using myself as a human shield just as Stoic brought the axe down. So instead of hitting Toothless' head.... It hit mine.

There was a crack that echoed in the entire great hall.

Only it wasn't from my head.

It was from the axe

The helmet held on.

And the axe fell as shards on the ground.

Gasps filled the great hall and villagers stared with shock as the chief's axe fell shamefully on the ground Shattered.

But their faces weren't as hilarious as Stoic's. And honestly, if it weren't for the current circumstances, I would have laughed my butt of.

"W-Wha.." He shook his head to snap out of his shock. "How! That's impossible! That axe was the strongest one on Berk! Nothing can even crack it! Then how come a mere weak helmet destroyed it!"

I smirked. But it won't be visible to him because of my mask.

"I call it Cronkel Iron. Feed a Cronkel the right formula of rocks and it spits out the strongest and lightest metal in the entire archipelago." I tell him while knocking on my helmet twice to prove my point.

"Who are you?"

"I am Night Fang, The Dragon Warrior." I add a little bow in the end. Ughh. Whispers, Whispers, Whispers. Don't those people have anything better to do? It's so annoying! Especially when I can hear each one of them!

"Night Fang?"

"Who is that?"

"Never heard of him"

"Why is he protecting that Night Furry?"

Soooooo annoying.

"Enough!" Dad to the rescue. Really, I was starting to get a headache.

"On this island I'm the chief! My word here is law! And I say I'm gonna kill that dragon!" As stubborn as ever. Somethings never change.

"Well chief or not, you're still not touching my dragon!"

"Well, at least now I know where you get your stubbornness from." Toothless said.

"And what does that suppose to be mean!"

"Who are you talking to?"

"That's none of your business, Stoic."

"How do you know my name!"

"Still none of your business."

"Fine. If it's none of my business....." Is he giving up? That's not like him at all. ".... Then I'll make it my business!" Of course. I should've known. It's Stoic we're talking about.

"And you'll do that how exactly?" I don't like where this is going.

"I challenge you to a Duel! If I win you hand over the Night Furry and answer my questions." That's it? A duel? Well, this goona be fun.

"And if you lose?"

"I never lose!"

"At least make it fair, Stoic!"

"Fine. Then you could stay here a couple of days with your dragon till you're able to leave."

"When, where, and what weapon?"

"The Killing Ring by sunrise, tomorrow and choose any weapon you want."

"Sounds good to me." I stretch my hand for him to shake. "Shake on it?" He just glares at me.

"Don't push your luck, boy."

I put my hands up in mock surrender. "Suit yourself. Oh, and Toothless will come with me."

"Who?"

"My dragon."

"And give you the opportunity to fly away? I'm not dumb, boy."

"They took my tail fin and destroyed it while you were out." Thanks for the info, bud.

"He can't fly with only one tail fin." His mouth formed an 'oh' and stayed like that for a while.

"Fine. Don't try anything funny, boy."

"Wouldn't dream of it."

I only take out the chains binding Toothless' muzzle and start to take my leave. I know that Toothless' Plasma Blast it strong enough to at least melt the chains. Which is exactly what he did. The look on the Vikings face was so hilarious I almost peed myself!

"And Night Fang?" I turned around to look at him. "No helmets." I smiled. It won't change the outcome either way.

"As you wish, chief."

Me and Toothless began to make our way to the cove. Won't even bother to train. I should save my strength for the fight. It's not like he's got a chance anyway.

"Wow. You and your dad will fight for my head? I feel loved.". He said once we stepped in the cove.

"Who's fighting for whose head, now?" we both turned around to find Sharp Shot and the Night Terrors resting in a bolder.

"Where have you guys been?" I asked them.

"We went out to get breakfast and when we came back you two were gone! Where have you been?" asked one of Night Terrors.

Me and Toothless look at each other, then I said "Well, it's a funny story, actually."

Then Toothless added "You guys wanna sit down for this one."

And that was the story of how me and Toothless ended up here. But you'll have to wait till next time if you want to know what happened next.
