Chapter 16: How to Start a Dragon Academy ( Part 4 )
It was now night, Gustav, Frida, and the five terrors were now at the edge of the docks. Sky was sitting on Rocky the "rock" while purring. There were fishing nets on the docks besides them.
Frida: Gustav, why did you drag me to the docks, I'm supposed to lock the dragons up with my brother and his friends.
Gustav: Well, about that...
Frida: ( knowingly, with her arms crossed: ) Going behind my dad's back again?
Gustav: Yep. Just listen, you and the dragons shouldn't have to ignore your instincts to live in the village. It's in your nature. As Hiccup is going to say to the teens, we just need to learn how to use it.
Frida: ( with her arms still crossed: ) And how are we going to use my instincts exactly?
Gustav: Easy, turn into a dragon and jump in the water.
Frida: ( is confused: ) What?
Gustav: You used to hunt and fish to survive, and you have a lot of extra energy because you're not doing it anymore, right?
Frida: Yeah...?
Gustav: And the village needs more food, right?
Frida: Yeah...
Gustav: Why not, instead of snapping and lashing out at objects in the village, you use this extra energy to hunt more food for the village.
Frida: Gustav, you're my friend, but look at me, I'm 12, this isn't going to work-
Frida then suddenly turns into her dragon form and jumps into the water without hesitation, causing the terrors to turn to Gustav as he smiled knowingly as his lycanwing friend swam into the water.
Gustav: ( to the terrors, honestly: ) Yes, I knew her instincts were going to snap, I was just waiting for it. Now, we wait, and when Frida gets some fish, we'll use the nets to carry the fish to the food storage.
( With Frida, under water )
Frida's pupils were slitted and some amounts of the glowing yellow liquid dripped from her fangs as she used her wings and tail to help her swim through the water. She then found a large school of fish, and by instinct she swam around the fish in circles, surrounding the fish, before she opened her mouth slightly and small amounts of fire to come out of her mouth and began warming that area of water up to it's boiling peak.
( Back to Gustav and the terrors )
Gustav and Frida's terrors watched in surprise as a whole school of fish floated to the surface of the small area of boiling water, which began to cool down.
Gustav: Whoa.
Sky then growled at the four male terrors, Dusty and Ghost then grabbed a fishing net, flew off with it, and used it to scoop up the fish as the sun began to rise, and the riders flew by on their dragons.
Gustav: ( yells out, to the riders: ) It worked!!
Then a bunch more fish began floating up to the surface and the riders had shock looks.
Gustav: We might need more nets.
( With the riders )
Hiccup smiled as Frida's terrors were gathering the fish that floated to the surface of the water, while the other riders were confused.
Snotlout: What is happening down there?
Hiccup: Frida was the one making the puddles and the bite marks. She was trying to deal with the extra energy she had leftover.
Astrid: Of course, she's no longer hunting for herself or having to fight for survival.
Fishlegs: With all that extra energy, she must've been lashing out onto objects as an attempt to burn all of it off.
Hiccup: And Gustav told me that the strange yellow liquid was dripping out of her fangs as she was biting onto the wheel of the cart he caught her attacking.
Tuffnut: Whoa.... ( With a mischievous smile: ) Cool.
Ruffnut: ( to her brother: ) Agreed.
Fishlegs: Dripping out of her.... Oh, the liquid must be some kind of venom.
Snotlout: Lycanwings are venomous?
Hiccup: The book of dragons didn't say anything about Lycanwings having venom...
Fishlegs: Well, most vikings would kill a lycanwing as soon as they see one. There's a chance that there's a lot we don't know about lycanwings.
Hiccup frowned at the idea of a viking killing a lycanwing like Frida for just existing, but he made myself focus on the task on hand.
He and Snotlout then flew over to Bucket and Mulch's fishing boat, they weren't having much luck with catching any fish.
Hiccup: Snotlout, scare us up some dinner!
Bucket: Dragon attack!
Snotlout and Hookfang dived into the ocean, scaring the fish and herding them into the fishing nets.
Snotlout: WHOO-HOO!
Mulch: Hey! Thanks, dragon!
Snotlout: THAT'S RIGHT! THAT JUST HAPPENED!
Hiccup, Astrid, and Fishlegs fly toward Mildew's field, where the old man is trying to plant more cabbage.
Hiccup: Come on! Follow me!
Mildew: Huh?
Astrid: Afternoon, Mildew!
Astrid uses Stormfly's tail to dig into the soil, while Hiccup flies down to pour cabbage seeds into the ground-up dirt.
Hiccup: Three o'clock! Time for the fertilizer!
Mildew: Fertili-
Hundreds of dragons begin flying over Mildew's field, Fishlegs and Meatlug joining them.
Fishlegs: Okay, Meatlug, let 'er rip!
Meatlug and the rest of the dragon begin pooping onto the field, providing a good fertilizer to help grow the cabbages. Mildew didn't seem pleased however.
Hiccup: Smile, Mildew! We just saved you three months of work!
( Back with Frida, Gustav, and the terrors )
Gustav was holding Rocky while Frida and her terrors were putting the six nets full of fish into the food storage as Hiccup and the twins herd a sounder of wild boars into the village's slaughterhouse. Frida's pupils were back to normal.
Frida: ( to the terrors: ) Remember, roll the nets carefully! Especially you, Grump.
Grump grumpily grumbles in response as he rolled his net of fish into the food storage house with Frida and the rest of the terrors. Frida then turned back into a human and cracked her back before she walked up to Gustav with a relaxed smile.
Frida: Thanks for carrying Rocky and helping me burn off the extra energy, Gustav. I needed it.
Frida then grabbed Rocky from the boy with both hands, and he sighs in relief as his arms were now hurting from carrying the "rock".
Gustav: No problem, Frida. Let's go tell Hiccup!
They quickly went to the teens at the slaughterhouse with the terrors following after them, and Frida smiled as she went up to Hiccup and nudged his side with a smile.
Frida: We did it!
Hiccup: Yeah! That's the way to do it!
Fishlegs: Whoo-hoo! That was awesome!
Astrid: ( to Hiccup: ) How did you know that was gonna work?
Hiccup: Because they're dragons and Frida's a lycanwing, and they're gonna do what they're gonna do. We just need to work with them instead against them. You know who we should actually be thanking-
Frida then growled as Mildew came with Stoick.
Mildew: There they are, Stoick! Those dragons don't look like they're in cages to me.
Stoick: No. This is not what I asked for.
Frida then mouthed " stay put " to Gustav, who was looking at Frida and the riders with worry.
( Slight time skip )
The teen and Frida are now gathered in the arena, when Stoick and Gobber approached them. Gustav was in the audience with a worried look. Multiple scratching sounds and whines were heard coming from inside the cage that the dragons were in.
Fishlegs: ( quietly: ) Oh, no! What's Stoick gonna do to us?
Ruffnut: I'm too pretty for jail!
Tuffnut: ( to his sister: ) Ha, where'd you hear that?
Stoick: ( to the group: ) You all disobeyed my orders...and there will be consequences.
Astrid: ( quietly and angrily, to Hiccup: ) I told you we were gonna get in trouble. Ugh, you never listen to me!
Frida: ( whispers, to Hiccup and Astrid: ) I say we trip Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the twins, save our dragons, and make a break for it.
Snotlout: ( whisper shouts, to Frida: ) We can hear you, ya know?
Hiccup then steps up and stood in front of Frida.
Hiccup: Dad, if anyone's going to get in trouble, it should be me.
Stoick: Nope. You all had a hand in this. You took over this place without asking. Didn't tell me that Frida was the one making the puddles and bite marks. You released the dragons against my wishes. Things are gonna change around here.
Frida slowly stepped closer to Snotlout, as she was getting herself ready to trip him.
Stoick: That's why I-
Gobber: You're getting a Dragon Training Academy!
Frida: ( confused: ) Huh?
Stoick: Gobber! I wanted to tell them.
The teens confusion and shock is replaced with relief and happiness. Frida just watched the two vikings in front of them with amusement.
Gobber: I'm sorry. You're right. Go ahead.
Stoick: Well, you told most of it!
Gobber: You can tell them the part about how proud you are of them!
Stoick: GOBBER! Hiccup, Frida- well, what he said. You've all made me proud. This Dragon Training Academy is for you.
Stoick opens the cages inside the new Academy, releasing the dragons and the riders quickly went to them. Frida's terrors went to Frida with Ghost carefully rolling Rocky to her, and they all tackled her to the ground, making the young lycanwing laugh in joy.
Stoick: ( to Hiccup: ) Now all you have to do is train 'em and help us understand more about Frida's species.
Hiccup: Not a problem, Dad. After all, I've got Toothless and Frida.
Astrid: Ah-hem?
Grump tossed a pebble at Hiccup, with a small growl. Hiccup then turned to the gang and the other dragons, Frida's terrors were staring Hiccup down, and Frida was holding Rocky with a smile.
Hiccup: And...them too.
( Slight time skip )
Frida, Hiccup, and Astrid watched as Hookfang and Meatlug hung the new sign the new Dragon Training Academy. Frida was holding Rocky with both arms and with a smile.
Astrid: Berk Dragon Academy. I like the sound of that.
Frida: ( with a smile: ) Same here.
