HTTYD One-Shots Volume II

Snotstrid// Friendship Only

(Requested by: @AlwaysHttyd_
         You should do one where Astrid and Snotlout somehow get captured together and at one point Astrid escaped but has to leave Snotlout, however she gets caught and hurt, like badly. It's then up to Snotlout to help Astrid and get them both out of there. Near the end Hiccup and the gang should come and save them, but Snotlout still has to kick some butt to get them out. It's kind of like a Snotstrid friendship)

     "Watch out!"
     Astrid ducked and spiraled downwards with Stormfly. Snotlout's warning came just in the nick of time. A large axe hurtled through the air, just missing the end of her braid.
     "Thanks," Astrid acknowledged. Suddenly Astrid gasped. "Look out!"
     Snotlout and Astrid ducked, but not in time. A large net wrapped around them. Astrid let out a surprised yelp and pulled on the ropes, while Snotlout desparately began to cut the ropes with a small dagger. They hit the water with a splash. Astrid reached for her axe, but saw it plummet to the ocean floor. The net was pulled out from the ocean.
     "Hey! Let us go!" Astrid yelled.
     "I'm to beautiful for jail!" Snotlout wailed.
     "Shut up!" Astrid hissed.
     "Okay grumpy," Snotlout retorted.
     "Okay thats it!" Astrid snarled.
     Snotlout screeched as Astrid slammed her elbow into his chest. Her knee knocked him where the sun doesn't shine. Snotlout grabbed himself and squinted in pain. Astrid and Snotlout were dropped on the ship's floor.
     "Look what we caught," Ryker's annoying voice sneered. "The girl and the fat one."
     "Hey! That's not me!" Snotlout said indignantly. "That's Fishface."
     Ryker snarled and threw Snotlout across the deck. "Don't toy with me boy!"
     Snotlout let out a small cry as his arm cracked. His back slammed into the wooden sides, his head whipping back to hit the side as well.Snotlout groaned.
     Astrid raced over. "Are you okay?"
     Snotlout wheezed. "Never better. Ow."
     Ryker nodded and his men grabbed Snotlout and Astrid. Astrid wriggled and pulled at the man as he attempted to wrap her hands in thick ropes. Snotlout was weary and did not put up much of a fight. They tied him and strapped him to the mast, pushing Astrid against it also. Astrid kept moving her arms and wrists.
     "Snotlout, I'm going to escape, but I swear I'll come back for you," Astrid whispered fiercely.
     Snotlout winced and had no time to reply. Astrid took and slammed her forehead into the guard's helmet. The guard released his hold on her shoulders, falling backwards. Astrid ran, quickly checking that she had not busted her head open on the metal. Three of Ryker's men chased her. Astrid saw her only escape was the water. She slid under a guard who jumped to get her. Astrid kicked up a nearby arrow and flung it, sinking it into one hunter's arm.
     Astrid made it to the edge of the boat, jumping over the ledge. Suddenly Astrid yelped as a hand grabbed her and threw her backwards. Astrid tumbled backwards, rolling to a halt. She jumped up as fast as she could, glaring at Ryker.
     "Sorry, but Viggo wants you alive," Ryker snarled.
     He stepped forward and slapped Astrid on the cheek so hard that she lurched to the side. Astrid was down a few moments, but the men were faster, tying her hands behind her.
     "You'll never get away with this!" Astrid yelled.
     She fought the guards, wriggling, but they simply pulled a cloth into her mouth, securing it behind her head.
     "Aw, but I already have!" Ryker laughed as she was dragged beneath deck.
     The guards opened a cell and tossed her inside. Her shoulder ached as she had no way to break her fall to the floor. Astrid turned over and gagged at the dirty cloth. A sharp aroma swept through her senses and her vison began to blur. Fuzzy light shrunk until she had a small opening of light. Snotlout's bulky figure was rushing towards he, but her eyelids drooped. Her mind went blank and she gave into the darkness.

     "Astrid, are you okay?" Snotlout's concerned voice filled her head.
     Astrid could only muster a groan as sat up. Snotlout had pulled the ropes and gag off of her and she sat up, quite sore from being thrown. She pressed the heel of her hand to her temple and sat there with squinted eyes.
     "Easy Astrid," Snotlout soothed. "They gave you a pretty good dose of salts. You might be out of it for a bit."
     Astrid struggled to stand, her hand pressing on her leg to help. "No, we have to escape, Hiccup."
     Snotlout gently laid her back down. "Don't worry, I'm sure Hiccup is worried enough, right now I have to get out and find Hooky so we can get out of here."
     Astrid rolled to the side, looking over and Snotlout. "How exactly are you going to manage that?"
     Snotlout looked back as she let out a sharp cough. "Like this."
     Snotlout bagna banging on the doors. He screamed and cried, his body looking like he was on a hormone rage. Astrid wearily sat up, confused at why he was acting like a muttonhea- scratch that, a psycotic brainless moron. Snotlout suddenly threw himself against the bars, finally attracting the attention of a nearby post man.
     "What do you want?" He demanded.
     "Come here," Snotlout whispered loudly. "I'll talk, you want to know how to train a Monsterous Nightmare? Done."
     Astrid tried to crawl over. "Snotlout! What are you doing?"
     Snotlout merely brushed invisible dirt from his shoulder pads. "Want to know where all of Berk's gold is held? Done."
     Astrid suddenly stopped. No one knew where Berk's gold was hidden, not even Gobber or Hiccup; though, Hiccup probably had some suspicions. Astrid swiped the smile forming on her face. This was all a roose to get close for the keys.
     Snotlout bent closer, ready to spill Berk's secrets when bam! Snotlout shoved the salt infested cloth in the guards face. The guard gasped, but soon passed out from the salts. Snotlout reached through and grabbed the keys. Astrid staggered, still weak from the salt's effects. Snotlout quietly opened the door and slid the guard inside, locking him in.
     "Bada bing," Snotlout crowed.
     "Alright, let's go find our dragons," Astrid said confidently.
     Snotlout nodded. Astrid hesitantly laid a hand on his shoulder, a quiet and subtle request for his help. Snotlout looped her arm around his neck and held her weight as she staggered along, not that she was all to heavy anyways. Stormfly perked up as she saw her rider approach, Hookfang letting out a small chirp when Snotlout approached. A yell sounded and Astrid grabbed the closest weapon, which was a plank of wood. Snotlout pulled out a hook from the side of the ship. Three guards raced towrds them, swords and axes in hand. Astrid chucked the wook with a gunt, but fell to the side. Her legs felt wobbly and she tried to push herself to her feet. Stormfly squawked and suddenly pelted the hunters with spines.
     "Good job Stormfly!" Astrid cheered. Astrid dragged herself to her dragona and looked back to see Snotlout sorely outnumbered with three dragon hunters. "Hookfang! Fire!"
     Hookfang growled, his pupils narrowing. He et out a blast of fire, smoldering the hunters. The one's boot caught fire and he began rolling the the ground. Astrid pulled the key from her belt and quickly pulled herself up to unlock Stormfly's cage. Snotlout was still fighting the hunters, but with Hookfang's fire at his call he was slowly winning. Astrid reached up and Stormfly nudged her onto her back. Astrid walked Stormfly over to Hookfang's cage and unlocked him. Hookfang lit on fire and burst from his cage, crazy as a bat out of hell. Snotlout cheered and gave Astrid a thumbs up, which she returned. The hunters dropped their weapons and shut themselves in the cage as protection. Astrid and Snotlout nodded to each other and blasted through the hole in the top of the deck.
     "Stop them!" Rkyer howled.
     A range of arrows rained upon them from the sky, but none hit them as they were already out of range and speeding home. Snotlout pulled up next to Astrid. Astrid poked her leg, feeling soon coming back. She flexed her foot and sighed as her legs regained their strength.
     "Hey, can I tell you something?" Snotlout asked quietly.
     "Sure," Astrid said easily.
     "I wanted to say that you and Hiccup are good together," Snotlout admitted. "Sure you're brave, pretty, but you and I never would work, I've admitted that to myself now."
     Astrid looked at him in shock. "Wow, I wasn't expecting that."
     Snotlout ducked his head. "Well, maybe I can be surprising."
     "And you we're great back there," Astrid complimented. "We probably wouldn't have escaped without you."
     Snotlout waved it off. "Eh, you would have figured something out."
     Astrid rolled her eyes playfully. Together they landed on the landing pad. Hiccup came running from the stables, Toothless running out after him. Hiccup raced and barreled into Astrid, enveloping her into a hug.
     "Where have you two been?" Hiccup asked, not breaking the embrace. "I've been worried."
     "Snotlout and my recon flight took a wild turn, didn't it?" Astrid said.
     "Yeah it did, and the Snotman got us out," Snotlout boasted.
     Astrid and Hiccup broke apart and Astrid shrugged. "It's true, but I made a valient effort too," Astrid reminded.
     "Yeah, but I was on fire!" Snotlout squealed.
     "Yes you were," Astrid agreed.
     "What happened?" Hiccup asked.
     "Well Stormfly and I were blasting ships with Hookfang and suddenly there was a net."

SO SO SO SO SO SORRY FOR THE LATENESS!!!!!
I swear I am trying my hardest to make the one a week deadlines. I have been busy with writing Undercover and Future Us, along with an adventure book for school. I will probably publish the book for school as soon as I finish rewriting and polishing it up.
Thanks for your guys' patience and keep reading, voting and commenting on all my works!
Byeeeeee!
