*Fia's Pov.*
"Welcome to Dragon Training." Gobber said as he opened the gate. "No turning back." Astrid said as she walked in the arena with the group behind her. "I hope I get some serious burns." Tuffnut said. "I'm hoping for some mauling, like shoulder or lower back." Ruffnut said. "Yeah. It's only fun when you get a scar." Astrid said. "Yeah, no kidding, right." Hiccup said sarcastically. "Pain, Love It."
I groaned walking in behind Hiccup and the others as the gate closed. "Oh, great. Who let them in." Tuffnut groaned. "Let's get started! The recruit that does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village. Only one person get to kill their first dragon." Gobber stated walking towards everyone.
"Hiccup already killed a Night Fury so does that disqualify him or?" Snotlout stated making the others laugh except Astrid. "Don't worry. You're small and weak. That will make you less of a target. They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking type instead." Gobber said trying to reassure us before we went and stood by fishlegs at the end of the line.
"Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight. The Deadly Nadder." Gobber explained.
"Speed: 8 Armor: 16." Fishlegs said right after Gobber.
"The Hideous Zippleback." Gobber stated before walking to the next set of doors.
"Plus: 11 Stealth, Times: 2." Fishlegs answered again.
"The Monstrous Nightmare." Gobber said.
"Firepower: 15." Fishlegs continued.
"The Terrible Terror." Gobber said.
"Attack: 8, Venom: 12." Fishlegs said again annoying Gobber.
"CAN YOU STOP THAT!!" Gobber yelled, "...and the Gronckle."
"Jaw strength: 8." Fishlegs whispered to Hiccup. "Whoa, whoa, wait! Aren't you gonna teach us first?" Snoutlot asked looking nervous. "I believe in learning on the job." Gobber said before pulling the lever down releasing the Gronckle. We all ran in different directions as the Gronckle flies at us.
"Today is about survival. If you get blasted, you're dead." Gobber said. "Quick! What's the first thing you'll need?" Gobber asked. "A doctor." Hiccup said. "Plus five speed." Fishlegs said. "A sheild!!" Astrid and I answered. "Shields. Go." Gobber said before everyone took off for a shield. "Your most important piece of equipment is your shield. If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield." Gobber said as he helped Hiccup pick up a shield.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut ran over to get their shields, but ended up grabbing the same one. "Get your hands off my shield." Tuffnut said as him and Ruffnut had a little tug-of-war with the shield. "There are like a million shields." Ruffnut said. "Take that one, it has flowers on it. Girls like flowers." Tuffnut said before Ruffnut hit him over the head with it. "Oops, now this one has blood on it." Ruffnut said.
The Gronckle flew over to them and blasted their shield, causing them both to spin and fall. "Ruffnut, Tuffnut, you're out." Gobber announced. "What?" The twins exclaimed confused.
"Those shields are good for another thing, nose. Make lots of it to throw off a dragon's aim." Gobber exclaimed. All of us banged our weapons against our shields, causing the Gronckle to shake its head in dizziness. "All dragons have a limited number of shots. How many does a Gronckle have?" Gobber asked.
'Wait do we have to know!?' I asked myself.
"Five." Snotlout answered. "No, Six!" Fishlegs yelled.
"Correct, six. About one for each of you." Gobber said.
"I really don't think my parents would..." Fishlegs was interrupted as the Gronckle blasted his shield.
"Fishlegs, out." Gobber said as Fishlegs ran away screaming.
"Hiccup! Get in there." Gobber yelled. Hiccup was hiding behind a big piece of wood, while I was running around with Astrid. He was about to come out, but the Gronckle blasted the wall behind him. I started moving from Astrid as Snotlout started talking to her.
"So anyway, I'm moving into my parents basement. You should come by sometime to work out. You look like you work out." Snotlout said making me roll my eyes as Astrid cartwheeled out of the way causing the Gronckle to blast Snotlout's shield.
"Snotlout, you're done." Gobber said as Astrid stopped beside Hiccup.
"So, I guess it's just us three." Hiccup said straightening his back.
"Nope, just you two." Astrid said before running off.
A blast suddenly hit Hiccup's shield causing it to roll away from him, making him case it.
"One shot left." Gobber said as Hiccup ran for the wall only to get pinned by the Gronckle.
"Hiccup!!" Gobber and I yelled.
The Gronckle opened it's mouth ready to fire, only to blast the wall behind Hiccup. Gobber had grabbed the Gronckle by it's mouth with his hook, before dragging the Gronckle back to it's cage.
"And that's six. Go back to bed, you overgrown sausage." Gobber said as he pushed the Gronckle into it's cage.
"You'll get another chance. Don't worry. Remember, a dragon will always, go for the kill." Gobber said helping Hiccup up as I rushed over to him. I looked at the scorch mark on the wall.
'Why didn't it kill us then?' I thought before Hiccup and I followed the others out of the arena.
