HTTYP Part 10
The next day, Emily and Hiccup made sure to avoid the villagers that kept trying to swarm them when they were getting brunch since it seemed Stoick and the search party had returned. They were gliding above the island and Hiccup was enjoying the view as he looked towards Emily who seems to be enjoying the scenery while using the staff she has to hold onto Optimus' back while standing and the armor made of dragon scales shined in the sunlight.
"It will be a long way down from here if we're not careful." Emily said as she looked to the side of the ocean below.
Seeing the height made everyone nervous. Well, almost. The dragons all all looked at the screen with the desire to fly through the sky. Flying is what it feels like to be free.
Optimus smiled as he remembered the first time he soared through the sky after getting his upgraded form.
"I-I'm pretty terrified honestly. H-How are you so used to this kind of height?" Hiccup asked as he nervously looked to the side and below them and caused him to gulp.
"Well, if you fly through the sky to get to an enemy's fortress, it's a pretty awesome thing. Plus it's not that bad once you get used to it." Emily replied.
"Let's just say I'm used to this kind of height. Let's just get this test flight on the go." Emily said as she looked determined. Hiccup took a deep breath and nodded.
Stoick could see that Hiccup trusts Emily completely and it was clear how close they are since Hiccup seemed to calm down.
"Okay there, bud, we're gonna take this nice and slow." Hiccup told Toothless as Optimus positioned himself beside Toothless with Emily on his back.
"Man, I seriously want to try that one of these days." Miko said.
"Here we go. Here we go... position three, no, four." Hiccup muttered and switched the pedal to the position.
"What's with the paper?" Raf asked.
"It's my cheat sheet." Hiccup said sheepishly.
Toothless glance at his tail and saw that it was in the right position before facing forward with narrowed eyes. They made a perfect arc and both dragons made sure to steady their wings. Hiccup glanced back to the tail and took deep breaths as he turned to Emily who nodded and crouched slightly on Optimus' back who dived.
"Alright, it's go time, it's go time." Hiccup muttered and leaned on the saddle as Toothless dove after Optimus and Emily who started to level out.
Hiccup made sure he was almost flat against the saddle to make it more aerodynamic as the two dragons skimmed the water with their wings.
"Come on, buddy, come on, buddy!" Hiccup encouraged as the two dragons flew under a sea stack. Hiccup looked around in amazement by the sight.
The Vikings marvelled at the sight of being on a dragon's back and it was so amazing.
"Yes, it worked!" Hiccup cheered before he turned when he heard Emily whooped.
His eyes widened in shock when Optimus tossed her in the air where she did a backflip and landed back on his back.
That made everyone's jaw drop especially the team. Seeing both Primes having the time of their life was something to behold.
"And I thought Prime's don't party." Arcee said in amusement and amazement.
Hiccup steered Toothless to follow them but they hit a sea stack by accident.
"Sorry!" Hiccup apologized but they accidentally flew into another one.
"That was my fault." Hiccup said only for Toothless to hit him with his ear as if to say 'focus'.
Raf giggled at that as Hiccup gave Toothless a reprimanding look who chortled out a laugh.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm on it. Position four, uh, three." Hiccup said as he shrugged the hit away and skyrocketed towards the sky.
Emily watched them in concern with Optimus who followed but stopped as they flew below them just in case something goes wrong but from Hiccup's yell of delight that made Emily think that Hiccup is enjoying the rush of adrenaline.
Everyone was cheering for them but some of them couldn't help but worry that something bad is about to happen.
"Yeah! Go baby! Yes! Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my-" Hiccup cheered but stop when he saw his cheat sheet get blown by the wind.
"CHEAT SHEET!!! STOP!!!" Hiccup yelled at the top of his lungs as he reached out for it.
Toothless thought it was a command and stop immediately but by doing so, the saddle and Hiccup's harness unlatched themselves. Hiccup felt himself floating and when he looked down, his eyes widened in shock. Toothless happened to look up and saw Hiccup in mid-air while Emily and Optimus felt their sparks drop at that.
Everyone halted their cheers with cries of shock and alarm as Emily almost jumped out of her seat in worry.
"Hey, hey, Emily, I'm okay. I'm still in one piece." Hiccup reassured her as she calmed down somewhat.
"Sorry. I just don't like the idea of you getting hurt." Emily said.
"NOOOOOO!!!" Hiccup screamed in terror as Toothless roared in panic as the two started to plummet.
"Oh, gosh! Oh, gods! Oh, no!" Hiccup accidentally hits Toothless' wings and it sends him spinning as Toothless roared out in fear for him.
Ever since the human and he made a bond, he became fearful and worried for the boy since the boy would hurt himself too easily and he won't let that happen on his watch with the blonde and Stormcutter.
Toothless crooned in worry as Stoick was gripping his arm seats until his knuckles went white. He never thought he'd do this but he hoped that the dragon catch Hiccup.
Hiccup was able to straighten himself in free fall as he tried to calm Toothless down, who was spinning out of control.
"Alright! You gotta kind angle yourself! Okay, no, no, no... Come back down towards me! Come back down- YOW!" Hiccup exclaimed but cried out in pain when he was hit by Toothless' wings.
Emily jumped off Optimus' back and landed on Toothless before holding her staff towards Hiccup who quickly grabbed onto it before using it to help him get on the saddle quickly with the cheat sheet between his teeth and hooked himself back on the saddle. Emily held on Hiccup's waist for dear life with her staff back on the straps on her back.
"Emily, were you crazy?!" Miko exclaimed as the Team and Decepticons couldn't help but fear for the lives of the two and the dragon as they continue to descent.
Hiccup pulled in the saddle hard with a muffled cry and made Toothless spread his wings on instincts. Emily looked back to Optimus who nodded and dove down past them.
"W-Where's Optimus going?!" Hiccup cry out.
"Don't worry! He knows what he's doing!" Emily reassured him.
Agent Fowler was gripping his seat as June was close to pulling her hair out as everyone was holding their breath and waiting for something or anything to happen.
Toothless tried to slow down so his passengers won't get hurt but they were coming down fast. He was able to slow down slightly but they were still coming down fast and towards a maze of sea stacks. Toothless roared out in fear of the collision as Hiccup pulled the cheat sheet from his mouth and looked between it and the danger approaching them fast.
"Just let the fragging paper go, kid!" Knock Out exclaimed as he was worried for what was about to happen.
"For the love of Primus, HICCUP, JUST LET GO OF THE PAPER!" Emily yelled out to him and he did so, throwing it away.
Hiccup held on the saddle for dear life with Emily holding onto him as he switched the tail fin positions by instincts. Toothless was able to maneuver out of the seat stacks before they avoided the last one. Hiccup looked back while Emily let go while the three were taking deep breaths to calm down while they couldn't believe what just happened.
Everyone finally let out the breath they were all holding as they errupted in cheers. Those who almost fainted sigh in relief.
Ratchet looked like he had a spark attack but was just relieve that they were okay.
Hiccup couldn't help himself and cheered in victory as Emily sighed and smiled at this. They heard a roar and saw Optimus flying towards them. Emily took out her staff and jumped on Optimus' back.
"YEEAHHH!" Toothless couldn't stop himself and fired a plasma bolt which exploded in front of him and Hiccup as Hiccup groaned at this.
"Ah, come on!" Hiccup groaned in dismay as Toothless let out a laugh as they crossed it.
That made everyone laugh as they started to relax.
Later at sunset on a sea stack, Hiccup and Toothless were resting while watching Emily and Optimus do tricks in the air before the two flew down and Emily hop down while stretching her arms.
"Still doing tricks?" Jack asked with a small laugh.
"Gotta burn off that excess adrenaline somehow." Emily giggled.
"Best day ever." Emily said as she sighed in content.
"Yeah and our almost near death experience and getting almost burnt." Hiccup joked sarcastically and caused Emily and Hiccup to laugh as Hiccup was a little singe from earlier.
"I'll say." Astrid said as she slumped against her seat.
"Yeah, well, at least you can control that tail fin better without that paper." Emily told him while eating a couple of berries she got and sharing some to the other three.
Toothless soon started making the hacking sounds before regurgitating the head of the fish that he ate before he looked at Hiccup expectantly while Emily gag at that.
"Ew. Seriously?" Sierra question as she was grossed out.
"Uh... no thanks. I'm good." Hiccup rejected politely as Toothless seemed to shrug and started to eat his fish.
They then hear squeaky roars and look up to see a flock of Terrible Terrors flying towards them and eyeing Toothless' pile of fish. Toothless growled and put his paw on his fish protectively. Emily and Hiccup eyed Toothless and the little dragons warily as the Terrible Terrors approach.
Miko thought she was seeing her cats in Toothless since those two don't like sharing when it comes to food.
One tries to steal one fish but Toothless snap at it from trying to steal the fish. Another one came and took the head of the fish that Toothless spit out and started to eat it.
Another one tried to take it away but the second one growled at its companion and fired at it, causing it to run away. They watched the dragons in amusement before they noticed that one of the fish seemed to have come to life. They watched it before one of the Terrors came out of the pile and dragging the fish by the tail.
Toothless quickly bites on the head and the two dragons are in a tug of war. Toothless was able to pull the fish away and swallowed it and made a laughing sound at the Terror's face.
"Poor dragon." Raf said with a small pout.
The Terrible Terror spits out the find and paws the ground while growling while Toothless gives it an uninterested look. The Terrible Terror stood on its hind legs and was about to fire but Toothless beat it to it and fired a harmless plasma bolt to its mouth and caused it to inflate like a balloon.
That for everyone to even laugh at that.
It fell down to the ground in a daze while smoke was coming out from its nostrils as Emily watched it with concerned eyes as Hiccup eyed it curiously while taking out one of his fish.
"Not so fireproof on the inside, are you?" Emily said as one Terrible Terror walked up to Emily and sniffed her curiously as Optimus just lay down.
"Why do I get the feeling that's gonna be important?" Jack asked as he can't shake the bad feeling off.
"There you go." Hiccup said as he tossed one fish to it which surprised it a little but happily ate it before looking towards Hiccup who sat down.
The Terrible Terror looked at Hiccup curiously before walking towards him cautiously before walking to its side while nudging his hand and curled up beside his leg and sleeping in content. Hiccup put a hand on its back and stroked it gently and earned purrs from the small dragon. Hiccup just stared in wonder before a thought occurred to him. Have they been wrong? About the dragons?
That made every Vikings wonder. Have they been really wrong about dragons? Now that they think of it, none of the dragons seemed to attack them since they don't have weapons.
"Everything we know about you guys is wrong." Hiccup muttered softly as he finally realized that dragons aren't the monsters the villagers think.
"Creatures like dragons aren't mindless beasts like your people think, Hiccup. People judge such magnificent creatures such as them as monsters. But like me and you, they're not. They're like us. Living beings. There's got to be a reason why the dragons raid the village." Emily told him as Hiccup looked at her.
That made everyone look up. Could there be a reason why?
"You really think so?" He asked and got a smile in return.
"I know so." Emily said.
They then went back to the cove after saying goodbye to the Terrible Terrors and heading back to the village. Emily and Hiccup were at the forge while Emily was cleaning her staff while Hiccup played with the pencil before an unexpected visitor surprised them.
"Are you sure that there's a reason for the raids?" Gobber asked her as Emily nodded grimly as Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless, Smokescreen, Tailgate and Ultra Magnus shuddered.
