In the arena...

Bruce yawned, "why are we up this early again?"

Andi shrugged, "the dragon riders wanted us to attend their Training Session. Whatever that is, it's probably has something to do with combat."

"Why in Thor did you sign us up for this," Dan complained.

"Don't blame me, blame the blonde bobblehead!! She's the one who's giving me pressure!!" I exclaimed.

"She has a name you know," Bruce said.

"I know, I just keep forgetting what it is."

"Wow, you really do have short term memory," Dan muttered.

I scowled and punched his shoulder.

"Well there you guys are," Snotlout said as we approached them. "What took you so long?"

"Oh I don't know, the fact that you told us to wake up 3:00 in the morning?!" I exclaimed.

He smirked, "get used to it newbies, you'll be doing this more often."

"Who said we were even joining," Bruce muttered.

"Stoick, Astrid, Hiccup-"

"Shut up or your head goes off," I snapped.

"No one is taking off anyone's head," Hiccup said, walking forward. "Because first rule on living here is no killing anyone."

We all groaned, rolling our eyes.

"Now drop the axe."

"What am I, a dog?"

"I said drop it."

I rolled my eyes and threw my axe, which landed just a few inches from Snotlout's face. Snotlout screamed and jumped away.

Hiccup turned and gave me a 'really?' look.

"Well you said 'drop it,'" I said smirking.

Hiccup shook his head as we started training.

============================

"Y'know, killing isn't gonna get you that far," a tall skinny boy said.

"You don't know know that, and it gets people to shut up," I replied, tossing down another target.

"That's what you think."

"Right, and you are?"

"Larson, Gustav Larson."

"Well pleased to meet Larson, my name is Keres. Well, the blonde calls me Arsyn so I lost track who exactly am I," I said sarcastically.

"Hmm, well Keres doesn't seem to fit you, and Arsyn sounds too much like Astrid. How about 'lil Rue?

"Rue?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Gustav nodded, "ya, short for little Rouge."

I look up thoughtfully, "huh, I like the sound of that."

"Okay Arsyn, you're up!" Astrid yelled.

"Wish me luck," I said then jumped into Blackjack.

As we sailed above, I couldn't help but hear Gustav's say, "she sure is something, isn't she Fanghook?"

I ignored the comment and continued throwing daggers at the targets.

"Okay Gustav, throw it up!" I heard Astrid say.

Instead, he continued to stare at the sky. Wait, what?

Too late.

Blackjack's spikes flew and landed on the floor, and I threw another dagger in the same direction and-

CRASH!!!

"Gustav!!!" I yelled, dismounting Blackjack. "You alright?"

"Yeaah..."Gustav replied, pulling a spike out of his helmet. "I can manage."

I raised and eyebrow and laughed.
