Third Person P.O.V

The crowd roars with cheers and excitement, each Viking ready to welcome in two more kin.

"Hiccup! (Y/N)! Hiccup! (Y/N)!" They yell, making Stoick chuckle as he walks forward, Samuel and Hanna at his side.

"Well, we can all show our faces in public again!" He laughs, lightly hitting Samuel's shoulder.

Samuel clicks his tongue while chuckling, folding his arms as Hanna smiles and loops her arm around his.

The crowd laughs in response, the cheers quieting as Stoick speaks.

"If somebody told me that in a few short weeks Hiccup would go from, well, being... Ah... Hiccup, to placing first in dragon training," Stoick snickers, shaking his head. "Well, I would have tied him to a mast and shipped him off for fear he's gone mad!"

The crowd bellows with laughter, waving their fists in cheer.

"And you know it!" Stoick laughs, breathing in deeply.

"And, if I may," Hanna starts, Stoick nodding for her to speak. "Now, we all know the lass (Y/N) has gone through terrible times, losing her parents. I'd fear it would have destroyed her..." Hanna pauses, sighing as the crowd murmurs in sympathy.

"But (Y/N) is one of the strongest lasses I've ever known, and I'm sure (M/N) and (F/N) are watching right now from Valhalla, and are cheering her on this glorious day!"

The crowd cheers, Stoick nodding and looking toward the sky with a small smile.

...

(Y/N) sighs softly, rubbing her neck as Hiccup places a sympathetic hand on her shoulder. Astrid walks over, gently side hugging her while offering a small smile.

...

"So... Here we are," Stoick calls over the crowd as they quiet once more. "And no one is more surprised..."

...

"... Or more proud, then I am. Then we are."

Hiccup clenches the helmet in his hand, swallowing thickly as he sighs.

"Today my boy and (Y/N) become Vikings."

(Y/N) places her hand on his shaking one, making him jump lightly before he nods at her with a small smile.

"Today, they become one of us!"

The crowd cheers, Hiccup looking up at Stoick as (Y/N) watches Hanna and Samuel take their seats near him.

"Be careful with those dragons," Astrid softly says, looking up at her parents with a small sigh.

"It's not the dragons I'm worried about," Hiccup mutters under his breath, watching his dad take his seat.

"What are you two going to do?"

"We're going to show them there's another way," (Y/N) responds, unsheathing her sword and staring at her reflection.

"We have to try."

Astrid rubs her face with a concerned frown as (Y/N) sheaths the blade.

"Astrid... Can you promise me something?"

"Of course," she nods.

"If thing's go wrong... Can you take care of (D/N)? And Toothless?"

"I will. Just... Promise me it won't go wrong," Astrid replies, jumping as Gobber peers around the corner.

"It's time, you two," he calls, grinning. "Knock 'em dead."

(Y/N) sadly smiles at Astrid before sighing, walking next to Hiccup as they enter the arena. The crowd cheers as he sets his helmet on his head, the gate slamming shut behind them.

Snotlout and the others cheer from above, the rest of the crowd shouting their names.

(Y/N) stands in front of the dragons' gate, watching as it threatens to burst open as Hiccup walks over to the weapon stash.

She draws her blade, staring at it with a frown at her reflection once more.

Be the best Viking you can be...

She shakes her head, sighing and looking ahead.

...

Hiccup reaches the weapons, grabbing a shield and a dagger.

"Hmm... (Y/N) isn't going for a shield," Samuel mumbles, Hanna humming in reply.

"And Hiccup got a dagger..."

"I'd have gone for the hammer," Stoick joins in, Gobber nodding in agreement as Gothi closely watches the two.

...

"We're ready," Hiccup shakily exhales, standing slightly in front of (Y/N) with his shield raised.

Both watch as the lever was slowly raised, and all was quiet for a moment.

(Y/N) jumps as the gates were slammed opened, two Monstrous Nightmares appearing with snarls, their bodies ablaze.

One races along the wall, climbing onto the chains and spewing fire at the crowd as they laugh and dodge it. The other hisses, running around the arena and frantically clawing at the walls for an escape.

It slowly looks over at the two teens, the other one doing the same from above them.

Hiccup gasps softly as it climbs down, stalking towards them as the flames disappear from its body. The other Monstrous Nightmare comes in from behind them, one of its horns broken off.

(Y/N) faces it, her sword raised as her hands tremble lightly.

"Go on, (Y/N)! Stab its heart out!"

"Give it to them!"

"Ready?" Hiccup whispers, making her lightly chuckle.

"Nope. Let's do this."

She takes in a deep breath, preparing herself as Hiccup drops his shield and dagger.

He raises his hands to the dragon, making it hiss lightly.

(Y/N) moves slowly to the side, the dragon in front of her following her with its eyes and turning its body to face her as she slowly sets her sword down.

...

"What are they doing?" Stoick leans forward, eyebrows furrowed.

"(Y/N)?!" Hanna calls, Samuel's mouth opening in confusion.

...

Astrid watches with wide eyes, leaning closer to watch the two from the gate.

...

"Hey, it's okay!" Hiccup soothes as the dragon growls. "It's okay."

...

"You've been through a lot, haven't you?" (Y/N) softly asks, approaching the Monstrous Nightmare as it releases a light clicking sound. "You poor thing. I wish I could have been there to help you."

It watches her with curiosity, smoke puffing out of its nostrils as it walks closer to her.

...

Hiccup watches as it looks up at his helmet with a snarl, making him slowly take it off.

He looks up at his dad with sad eyes before looking back at the Monstrous Nightmare.

"I'm not one of them."

He throws his helmet, making the crowd gasp in horror and the dragon snorts softly, looking up at Stoick.

...

Stoick leans completely forward, his eyes wide as he gasps softly.

...

"And... Forgive me, mom... Dad... I'm not a Viking either." (Y/N) looks up, wincing as Hanna looks at her with wide, horror-filled eyes.

The Monstrous Nightmare rumbles lightly curiously sniffing at the girl for any other weapons.

...

"What are they thinking?!"

"Stop the fight." Stoick demands as the crowd murmurs.

"No!" Hiccup snaps, looking back at the dragon and raising his hands out to it as it leans closer.

"We need you all to see this!" (Y/N) calls to the crowd as the dragon walks closer to her, inches away from her.

"They're not what we think they are," Hiccup looks over at (Y/N), smiling lightly as he sees the dragon sniffing at her hand. "We don't have to kill them."

"I said, stop the fight!!" Stoick bellows, ramming his hammer onto the cage and startling the dragons.

Hiccup yelps and gasps as the Monstrous Nightmare snaps at him, (Y/N) screaming and dodging the dragon in front of her as it blows fire at her.

...

(D/N) jerks awake, his ears fully up as they twitch, him listening closely. (Y/N) screams once more, making him jump up with a roar, Toothless following.

...

"(Y/N)!" Hiccup yells, skidding to a stop and rushing towards her as the dragon chasing him barrels into the wall.

...

"Out of my way!" Stoick yells, shoving past the crowd as he makes his way down.

...

"Guys!" Astrid gasps, grabbing a nearby ax and using it to prop open the gate as she slides underneath.

...

(D/N) frantically struggles to help Toothless up the cliff, him pausing as he hears Hiccup yell.

Toothless hears him too, and his claws dig into the cliff as he pulls himself up with a snarl.

...

(Y/N) ducks under another blast of fire, holding her hands out to the dragon. It ignores her surrender, snapping at her as Hiccup tackles her to safety.

"Sorry!" He yells, quickly helping her up and holding her hand as the two dragons continue to chase them.

...

(D/N) flies through the woods, Toothless on his tail as he races below him with a roar, both dragons ready to protect their friends.

...

Stoick slams open the gate as Astrid watches the two run from the dragons.

"Guys!" She yells, noticing a nearby hammer.

She kicks it up, grabbing it and hurling it at the Monstrous Nightmare closest. It spins in the air and slams against its face, making it crash into the other dragon.

They roar at each other before the one with a missing horn notices Astrid, snarling as it begins pursuing her.

Stoick easily raises the second gate, calling out to the three.

"This way!"

Astrid makes it to Stoick, panting lightly as (Y/N) and Hiccup rush to them. Fire stopped them, making him grunt as he takes her hand and rushes the other way.

(Y/N) gasps as he was slammed to the ground, one of the dragon's claws over him.

"No!" She shouts, gasping as the other dragon blocks her way with a snarl, baring its fangs as it stalks closer to her.

The familiar sound of a Night Fury gains Gobber's attention, and two blasts were fired as smoke enveloped the arena.

The crowd all yell in concern, watching closely as they gasp.

Hiccup grunts in pain as the dragon was suddenly lifted off him, (Y/N) gasping as she was grabbed by her collar and moved away from the other dragon as the smoke clears.

"Night Fury!"

"What in the name of Thor is that?!" Someone in the crowd yells, Gobber suddenly realizing why (Y/N) asked about dragons with feathers.

"A... Dark Angel!" He breathes out, his eyes wide as he softly gasps.

(D/N) stands in front of (Y/N) as she falls on her knees while coughing from the smoke.

Toothless wrestles with the Monstrous Nightmare, snarling and biting at its neck as it slams him down. (D/N) roars and tackles it off him, clawing at its face before he flies back at Toothless' side.

The Monstrous Nightmare with one horn cowers under (D/N)'s gaze before it notices the new escape route. It quickly takes off as people scream, dodging its large body as it barrels out of the arena and to freedom.

Hiccup pants lightly, quickly rushing and joining (Y/N) as Toothless and (D/N) protectively stand in front of them.

(D/N) swiftly blocks its way as it tries to get to them, Toothless doing the same and blocking the other direction as they corner it.

Toothless loudly roars, making the Monstrous Nightmare cower before slithering away.

(Y/N) looks around with wide eyes, rushing to (D/N) and lightly pushing him as he purrs, rubbing his snout on her cheek.

"(D/N), Toothless, go! Go now!" She frantically yells as the Vikings begin to yell in anger, swarming the arena.

"Go, go!" Hiccup shouts, pushing Toothless as he hisses at the Vikings.

"Stoick, no!" Astrid yells as Stoick grabs an ax, racing towards them.

(D/N) roars at the man approaching, Toothless doing the same.

"No, no, no! You're only making it worse!" Hiccup pleads at the crowd as they try retraining the dragons.

"(D/N)!" (Y/N) screams as he tackles Samuel, preparing to fire a blast as Toothless pins Stoick down.

Toothless prepares to fire his own blast, making Stoick's eyes widen as he thrashes against the dragon.

"No, stop!"

"No..."

"No!" Both teens yell, making the dragons stop.

(D/N) whines softly, quickly pushing himself off Samuel. He looks back at (Y/N) before looking at Samuel, licking his hand apologetically as Samuel watches with wide eyes as he pants.

Toothless swallows back the blast and looks at Hiccup with a whine, tilting his head with a rumble.

"Get them!"

"No! No, no, no!" (Y/N) cries out as some men tackle (D/N), others doing the same to Toothless as they retrain him.

"No! Please, don't hurt them!" Hiccup reaches out for them as Astrid stops him, quickly grabbing (Y/N)'s arm as she tries to get to (D/N).

(Y/N) yelps in pain, making Astrid quickly let go with a gasp when she notices the burn along her arm.

(D/N) whines softly, struggling against the Vikings as he tries to get to (Y/N). Toothless whimpers in pain as the Vikings hold him down, preventing him from firing any blasts.

Stoick pants lightly as he looks between the two dragons, Toothless glaring back at him and (D/N) watching (Y/N).

Stoick shakes his head as he pushes the ax away.

"Put them with the others."
