HTTYP Part 2
It has been two weeks of the dream and Hiccup made a true friend named Emily Winters. She was an odd girl around a year older than him or so. She just showed up on their beach and said that she doesn't remember what happened before she lost consciousness.
She was a teen with almost platinum colored blonde hair, fair skin and strange looking eyes and he could have sworn that he saw them glowing at night. Her attire consisted of a red tunic from an unknown fabric up to her upper elbows while her lower arms were covered by what looked like blue arm guards while her hands felt metal like.
She has a two layered shoulder pad with a symbol to it.
While another down to her the middle of her chest was what looked like the crest of a dragon.
Optimus felt his spark pulsed at the sight of his Sparkmate and he couldn't help but smile softly. Cat calls from the younger male Vikings can be heard.
Unicra rolled her eyes at them while sitting next to Megatron who just smirked in amusement at what was happening.
Emily rolled her eyes before holding Optimus' servo in her hand and resting her head on his shoulder armor.
"OH SHUT UP, YOU AFTS! SHE'S ALREADY TAKEN!!!!" Miko shouted before Tai pulled her down as she stuffed some popcorn in her mouth.
"Miko, language!" Bulkhead exclaimed in amusement.
Emily and Optimus both blush at this and get laughs of amusement from their team and they exchange loving smiles towards each other.
Hiccup looked at the two and saw the loving smiles they have towards each other and smiled at them before returning his attention back to the screen.
Possibly from a tribe that she came from. She stuck by his side when she didn't need to and stood up for him when Snotlout and the twins were making fun of him. She even made him laugh when she miraculously pulled Snotlout's pants down.
That made the hall burst out laughing as Miko was clutching her stomach while laughing hysterically. Emily just grinned at Hiccup who was laughing at this. He remembered that well. It totally made his day. Optimus couldn't help but chuckle in amusement at this.
Bumblebee and Smokescreen laughed so hard that they ended up rolling on their backs. That would be something they won't forget easily. Snotlout flushed in embarrassment at this and wished to hide under a rock.
The Decepticons even found it amusing. Soundwave may be silent but the way his shoulders were shaking indicates that he was laughing.
"Oh-ho-ho, Primus. This is just pure gold." Knockout snickered in amusement.
"Indeed it is." Megatron agreed.
He even found it amusing no matter how hard he tries to hide it. Unicra just chuckled softly at this. Her counterpart sure knows how to make someone's day.
But right now, he just wants to sleep. He then tucked himself in as best he could and tried to ignore the grumbling of his empty stomach and knew that he should have eaten the dinner Emily made for him earlier.
He wasn't sure exactly when he'd fallen asleep, or how long he'd slept, but he woke up to the feeling of someone vigorously shaking his shoulder. He expected his father, but instead found Emily standing over him as the blonde spoke to him.
The laughter died down slowly as they continued to watch.
"I heard something outside. What's going on? What exactly is this place?" Emily said as she shook him awake.
"Wonder what she heard outside?" Raf tilts his head curiously while the Vikings just groan at this.
Not this again.
It was the very early morning, with the light of dawn having yet to appear on the horizon. Hiccup pulled himself out of bed and dragged Emily downstairs with him before he started to provide the explanation the 16 year old required.
"This is Berk. It is twelve days north of Hopeless, and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery." Hiccup started.
The Cybertronians, Unicra and Emily both shuddered. They don't like the cold very much since it could give them permanent system damage.
Emily shivered at the thought of the cold. She was just glad that her clothes protect her from the climate of the world she is in.
She remembered the two weeks she had been living on the island. She and Optimus were separated from the others when the ground bridge malfunctioned by something and now he was just hiding in the woods since he wasn't allowed to enter the village without causing an uproar and she made a cover story to ensure their true origins remain unknown until further notice. She snapped out of her thoughts as Hiccup continued.
Emily laughed sheepishly at this while the Vikings were confused. Who was Optimus? And what's a ground bridge?
Ratchet was about to explain but a shake of the helm from Drift stopped him and he just huffed while crossing his arms.
"My village. In a word - sturdy. It's been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We've got fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests." Hiccup continued as Emily raised an eyebrow at the word pests.
"I would do anything to see the sunsets at times." Emily whispered softly.
"I could arrange that, Trionix." Optimus whispered to her ear and caused her to blush lightly.
"What kind of pests?" Emily asked as she stood up. There was something about his tone that said she somehow already knew the answer.
" It doesn't take a genius to know why!" Spitelout shouted to the dragons who gave him death glares.
"You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes." Hiccup told her while walking towards the door.
"We have..." He opened the door and the outline of a huge beast appeared hovering outside.
Noticing them, it spat a wave of fire in their direction. Hiccup barely managed to close the door before he and Emily were burnt. Both of them shared a look of surprise, fear and shock from almost becoming barbeque.
"... Dragons." Hiccup finished his statement in a whisper.
Optimus looked like he wanted to jump towards the screen to protect his Sparkmate before he remembered that she was sitting beside him and that this happened already.
Emily held his servo to calm him down as he smiled at her thankfully. Ratchet almost had a spark attack while the others watched in awe. Shockwave perked up at this.
"The organic creatures known as dragons went extinct before modern technology. This is... illogical." He said as Starscream rolled his optics at him.
"Oh shut up. It's clear that this is just a movie that portrays the future of the individual that Primus chose." Starscream said as a few Decepticons looked at him weirdly.
"Wow. Never knew Screamer could sound so smart." Vince said as they returned their attention back to the screen.
The two of them made their way outside, looking around and watching the chaos that was taking place.
"Why couldn't you stay inside?" Stoick questioned.
"Did you expect the younglings to stay inside when their home is aflame?" Megatron questioned back with a sneer.
Stoick stayed silent at that. The metal being does have a point.
A Monstrous Nightmare scorched the ground.
A Deadly Nadder swooped down and snatched a sheep in its talons, a Viking jumped up and held onto the sheep as the dragon took off.
A Gronckle then flew by, holding a Viking in its jaws. The Viking hit the Gronckle over and over with a hammer before it threw the poor guy to the ground.
Miko was loving all of this as she couldn't take her eyes off the screen
"Suh-weet! Bulkhead, we should have found Berk before!" Miko said excitedly to her guardian.
Bulkhead just laughed nervously at this while Wheeljack just smirked in amusement at the sight. The twins just soaked in the destruction the raid is causing.
"Most people would leave. Not us. We're Vikings. We have stubbornness issues." Hiccup explained as Emily just snickered at how he said that.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Most Vikings asked while Hiccup rolled his eyes.
"My name is Hiccup." Hiccup added as Emily gave him a look like he grew a second head and he just rolled his eyes with a small smile.
"Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls, like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that." Hiccup added.
The Vikings laugh at this while Stoick frowned. Doesn't his son like his name?
The two continued to maneuver around other vikings but an explosion threw them off their feet slightly and caused Hiccup to trip and fall on his back. A Viking warrior suddenly stooped down and howled in his face, then gave him a cheery smile.
"ARGGGHHHHH! Mornin'!"
Hiccup rolled his eyes again at this as Emily helped him up.
"I think that guy drank a little too much." Hiccup let out a snicker at that.
That also made everyone snicker in amusement as the Viking from the screen flushed in embarrassment.
They continued to run through the village to get to their destination while other vikings yelled at the two. Mainly Hiccup with "What are you doing here?" and "Get back inside!" while passing a viking who was cleaning his ear.
"Not the most popular huh?" Jack said as he couldn't help but sympathize with him.
Ratchet was busy glaring daggers at the Vikings that shouted at the teen. How dare they shout at the kid! Emily just watched Hiccup in concern who was sighing in his seat.
Many Vikings winced at this. Was that how they sound to Hiccup?
This just caused Hiccup to sigh internally but Emily knows that he's going through. They kept running and were both almost scorched if it weren't for the burly hand of the chief who quickly pulled Hiccup back with Emily.
"Hiccup?! What is he doing out aga-?! What are you doing out?! Get inside!" Stoick said before giving Emily a warning look to which she just avoided. For some reason, Stoick always gives this warning look towards her and she doesn't even know why!
Stoick puffed his chest in pride at seeing himself as Emily and Hiccup just groaned.
"Seriously! What is it with you people always grabbing me by my tunic?!" Hiccup yelled in frustration and pouts as Emily shook her head.
"At least we weren't burnt." She muttered only loud enough for Hiccup, Optimus and the Shapeshifter to hear.
Hiccup and Emily quickly resumed their run.
"Your dad doesn't like me very much, does he?" Emily asked warily as he nodded.
"Warned me not to hang out with you but you seemed like a nice teen to hang out with. Anyway, That's Stoick the Vast. Chief of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby, he popped a dragon's head clean off of its shoulders. Do I believe it? Yes, I do." Hiccup explained as Emily shuddered at the thought of the poor dragon getting its head ripped off.
Stoick chuckled at that before looking at Hiccup who won't meet his eyes for some reason. The chief avoided the glares that were shot towards him by the other people in the theater, mainly the silver, blue and red one.
"What do you mean not to hang out with Ems?! That's so uncool!" Miko said as the TFP characters all agreed with her.
Emily was giving Stoick a disapproving look while Hiccup looked sick at himself for believing the rumors.
After running a few more moments they finally reached their destination and Hiccup quickly took off his apron while Emily started helping by heating up the forge. A friendly greeting from the blacksmith was heard in the fray of the raid going on outside.
"Ah! Nice of you two to join the party! I thought you'd been carried off! Hello, Miss Winters, how is your stay on Berk fairing?" Gobber greeted them both as Emily greeted back with a smile.
"I'm doing great, Gobber. Though Stoick could at least still give me these warning looks as if I'm about to do something." Emily said and just resumed her task.
The Autobots and Decepticons all perk up at seeing Emily working at the forge while Optimus gives her a questioning look. Emily looked back at him and shrugged.
"It was the only job available since the chief won't let me do home repairs, farming and even baking and cooking." She explained.
"What, who, me? Nah, come on! I'm waaaay too muscular for their taste. They wouldn't know what to do with all... this." Hiccup said before motioning to his skinny arms as Gobber changed his prosthetic arm for another tool as Hiccup went to the window.
"Well, they need toothpicks, don't they?" He teased him playfully which got a laugh from Emily and Hiccup.
Hiccup opened the window and vikings quickly ushered him to get their weapons fixed. Hiccup picked them up as Emily helped him to bring the weapons to the forge while Hiccup explained to her who Gobber is.
"The meathead with attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice ever since I was little. Well... littler." Hiccup said as Emily hammered another sword back into shape and handed some already fixed weapons to the Vikings waiting outside.
"Who are you calling meathead, toothpick?" Gobber question.
"Who are you calling toothpick, meathead?" Hiccup questioned back.
The Vikings just chuckled knowing that was true. Hiccup did work at the forge ever since his father brought him there.
"Seemed like you and Gobber have a father and son relationship while with Stoick... not so much as a relationship." Emily noted as he nodded.
"Yup." He replied while popping the 'p' at his answer.
Stoick deflated a little at this. Why does Gobber and Hiccup seem so close like a father and son would? Sure, he made mistakes but he can't be that bad. Can he?
The two continue to fix the weapons and heat the forge while Hiccup leaned back slightly to watch the fray as another set of houses was caught on fire to which Emily noted with a wince.
"See? Old village, lots and lots of new houses." Hiccup said as Emily just nodded.
"They should have made something that would be easy for them to put out the fire." Silvia pointed out.
"FIRE!" A viking shouted before a big barrel was seen being pulled up and five teens were quickly grabbing buckets and filling them up with water.
"Alright, let's go!"
At this, Hiccup quickly leaned out to watch them as he introduced the five teens known as the fire brigade of the village.
The teens perked up at this.
"Hey, look! It's us!" Tuffnut exclaimed.
"Oh, and that's Fishlegs." Emily recognizes the big chubby teen. She and Fishlegs talked a few times and she discovered that he's such a bookworm and she gave him a few tips on how not to be afraid of certain things.
Fishlegs perked up at this. It was true. He was able to face a few of his fears thanks to Emily.
"Snotlout, the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut." To which Emily snorted with a frown. Those three were such troublemakers and the main ones making fun of Hiccup.
Emily clenched her hands at this. They were the main bullies that made Hiccup feel miserable.
"And... Astrid." At this, Hiccup let out a dreamy sigh as he watched the other blonde girl in the village walk away from the explosion as Emily rolled her eyes with a knowing smirk. Somehow, Hiccup reminds her of a certain black raven 16 year old boy who has a crush on a certain redhead at school.
This made Jack blushed in embarrassment while Sierra giggled and kissed her boyfriend on the cheek.
Emily chuckled softly as Hiccup sighed softly. He found a stuffed toy and decided to hug it for comfort. He's still trying to get over his crush on Astrid.
"Oh, their job is so much cooler." Hiccup muttered. He then leaned out to get a better view but was pulled back inside by his collar by Gobber.
"Oh, come on. Let me out, please? I need to make my mark!" Hiccup pleaded as he was set down.
"Oh, you've made plenty of marks. All in the wrong places!" Gobber said as he jabbed his tongs against Hiccup's chest to emphasize his point. Emily was confused by this as Gobber mentioned that Hiccup is a disaster magnet which she finds hard to believe.
"Please, two minutes. I'll kill a dragon. My life will get infinitely better. I might even get a date." Hiccup said as he gestured outside as Emily just blinked at that.
"What?"
The other group and dragons were confused by this. Does it require something for the Vikings to get a mate?
Emily nudged Hiccup playfully who just nudged her back with a smirk as she grinned while ruffing his hair.
"You can't lift a hammer, you can't swing an axe, you can't even throw one of these!" Gobber counts as he then holds up a bola and a Viking grabs it from the window and uses it to bring down a Gronkle.
"True on those." Tai said as he munched on some popcorn.
"Plus, with those two minutes, you'll end up in bed with a few bruises or dead." Emily pointed out as he shot her a look that clearly said 'you're supposed to be on my side' as he pouted.
"Exactly!" Gobber exclaimed as he was glad that Emily made a point there.
"Okay, I know Emily said that but there are other ways to get the girl, dude." Miko interjected.
"Like getting to know her, going through bumps on the road, ups and downs in your relationship, getting feelings for one another and even risking your own life to protect the one you love. Take Emily and Optimus for example. Emily almost died when protecting Optimus on the Nemesis." Miko said.
"Miko! They don't need to know that!" Emily cried out in disbelief.
Hiccup just gape in shock. Emily almost died once?!
"That was one time when we're trying to get the Iacon Database from the Decepticon Warship. And need I remind you that you also were in trouble when MECH almost hurt you and Tai." Emily said as Miko pouted
"Fine. You have a point anyway." She muttered as they resumed watching.
Hiccup just shook his head and went to his new invention, The Mangler.
"Okay, fine, but this will throw it for me." Hiccup said and put a hand on it which somehow triggered it and shot out a bola accidentally and hitting a viking square on the forehead and he landed with a heavy thud.
"Argh!" Emily quickly leaned out to check if he was okay and sighed in relief. He'll have a concussion some time later.
"That hurts!" The Viking in question yelled while rubbing his forehead.
"At least it didn't hit another part of your body." Katie said with a snicker.
"See, now this right here is what I'm talking about!" Gobber said as he marched up to Hiccup like a scolding father as the teen tried to defend himself.
"Mild calibration issue-" Hiccup tried to argue but Gobber stopped him.
"Mild calibration issue?" Smokescreen asked in confusion while looking at the teen who laughed nervously.
"You almost sound like Ratchet." Wheeljack said.
"Don't you- no- Hiccup. If you ever want to get out there to fight dragons, you need to stop all... this." Gobber said as he gestured to him as Hiccup and Emily looked at him with a look of disbelief.
"But, you just pointed to all of me/him!" They both said simultaneously as Gobber nodded to make his point known.
"Yes! That's it! Stop being all of you!" Gobber said.
"Okay, that hurts. Literally." Hiccup said while crossing his arms.
"Sorry, lad." Gobber apologized.
Emily put her hand on Hiccup's shoulder to comfort him.
"Ohhhh..." Hiccup said as he tried to sound threatening as Emily facepalmed.
"Ohhhh, yes." Gobber mimicked the teen.
"You, sir, are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much, raw... Viking-ness... contained? THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!" Hiccup exclaimed a little upset as Emily winced while Gobber remained unfazed by that.
"What consequences?" Snotlout asked dumbly.
"If you shut your trap, you might get your answer, afthole." Unicra said while crossing her arms.
"I'll take my chances. Sword. Sharpen. Now." Gobber said before dropping a sword in Hiccup's arms to which he caught before he went to the grinding stone to sharpen it.
"Since when can you lift a sword?" Astrid asked curiously.
Emily became concerned for the 15 year old as she walked up to him to see if he was okay.
"You okay, Hic?" She asked softly as she put a hand on his shoulder as he sighed and looked at him before shaking his head.
"No but I will be, Ems." He gave her a slight smile to which she returned as they watched the fray outside.
"There's our Emily. Always looking out for the wellbeing of others before her own." Miko said in admiration.
"The true qualities of a Prime and Cybertronian." Optimus said as Emily grinned.
Emily looked how the battle was going on, she knew that Hiccup really wanted to help and prove his value as a warrior. But she felt like if she didn't tell him that by trying to fight a dragon he could end up hurt and she wanted to make him know that she's not on his side nor Gobber's side. She just doesn't want to see a guy like him getting hurt.
"Look, I don't mean to take sides or anything. But Gobber is right, you might not have what it takes to be a warrior like the others. And maybe it's not that bad. Based on what I've seen, you can fix anything and make a lot of great stuff. This might be the way for you to make your mark." Emily said in hopes that Hiccup might reconsider what he wants.
"I know I don't look like your average Viking. Strong and terrifying. But I'm a Viking, and this is what a Viking does. It's an occupational hazard." Hiccup said with tons of confidence.
"Okay?" Emily said and didn't quite understand what Hiccup was trying to say when he said that it being a Viking was an occupational hazard.
That part was a bit confusing for her. Feeling curious about the dragons that are attacking, Emily wanted to ask if these attacks are very common in Berk.
"So? Has Berk been attacked by dragons before I came in?" Emily asked Hiccup who was still sharpening the sword.
Hiccup snicker a little at this as Emily rolled her eyes in amusement. The other TFP characters were a little curious about what their two Prime duo mean as Hiccup gestured to the screen.
"Yes, Berk has been the victim of many dragon attacks in the past." Hiccup said who had finished sharpening the sword.
"What kind of dragons came here?" Emily asked with curiosity.
"Do you really wanna know?" Hiccup asked while he was putting the sword in its right place.
"Yes I do." Emily said.
"Alright then, I hope you're ready. Because after I tell you everything I know, things will never be the same." Hiccup said with a sort of a scary tone.
"Ooh look at me. I'm shaking in my shoes." Emily teased Hiccup who pushed her away playfully and laughed in amusement.
Optimus looks at the two curiously but amused since he could see the sibling bond the two have.
"And let me tell you one thing. One day I'll get out there. Because, killing a dragon is everything around here." Hiccup said before starting to explain the different species of Dragons that show up around Berk.
"A Nadder head is sure to get me at least noticed." Hiccup said.
The Nadders squawked at this. They were more than that for crying out loud!
"Nadder Head? Sounds like one nasty Dragon." Emily said while imagining what a Nadder looks like.
"It is one of the nastiest and spikiest of all Dragons. If you ever face one. Try not to face it face to face. If you get hit by one of his spines. You'll die for sure." Hiccup told her and she started to feel a bit nervous.
Emily huffed while crossing her arms. The Nadders are more like tropical overgrown birds to be honest.
"More like tropical overgrown birds." She muttered in amusement.
"Gronckles are tough." Hiccup said.
"Gronckles? They don't sound so tough." Emily said, who started to underestimate one of the most dangerous dragons.
"Trust me, they are. This particular Dragon is a hard one to beat. If you hope to kill it, you have better be carrying a bigger weapon. Taking down one of those would definitely get me a girlfriend. A Zippleback? Exotic. Two heads, twice the status." Hiccup said before they noticed a watch tower was being climbed on by a dragon that's on fire.
The Gronckles grunt at that. That was true but we're confused by the word girlfriend. Was that equivalent to having a mate?
The Zipplebacks all bump their heads against each other.
Emily was watching the dragons in amusement with Hiccup.
"I don't know where to agree or not with you two." The girl with blue hair said in amusement.
"And then, there's the Monstrous Nightmare. Only the best Vikings go after those. They have this nasty habit of setting themselves on fire." Hiccup said as Emily tries to fight off a grin.
"Reminds me of a certain someone who's always cranky." Emily said as he let out a snicker.
"Hey!" Ratchet said feeling offended.
Emily and the TFP kids all burst out laughing since that was true. Bumblebee was laughing as well while the others tried to stifle their laughter. Even Ultra Magnus has an amused smile.
"It's true, Docbot." Smokescreen grinned cheekily only to get a wrench to the helm.
"Ow! See what Emily means?!" He said while pouting and rubbing the spot the wrench hit while Ratchet huffed.
So far, Emily mentioned a few names when she was telling him of her family and allies and the name Megatron somehow fitted the description of a Monstrous Nightmare and he almost laughed at the image he saw.
Ratchet crossed his arms. He and Emily will have a talk after this. A long one.
"But the ultimate prize is the dragon no one has ever seen. We call it the-" Hiccup continued only to get cut off by a high-pitched whistle that could be heard from the night sky as both Hiccup and Emily looked up as the other Vikings panicked.
"What? What is it?!" The twins asked excitedly.
Emily, Hiccup, Optimus, Astrid and the bluenette all perked up at this as Toothless crooned at hearing himself.
"NIGHT FURY! GET DOWN!" A viking shouted and everyone ducked down as one of the catapults was torn down by an explosion from out of nowhere.
Both Hiccup and Emily were stunned by this as Hiccup quickly tried to get a better look as he searched the sky for the elusive dragon as he explained to Emily about it.
"This thing never steals food, never shows itself, and... never misses. No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm going to be the first." Hiccup said as he grew determined but Emily's eyes quickly widened at that.
"Wait, you're not saying you plan on shooting down the Night Fury are you?" She asked him in slight surprise as he nodded as she just sighs.
Snotlout snorted. As if Useless can shoot down the dragon.
A dagger almost hit him and Emily was glaring at him since she was the one who threw the dagger at him.
"You were thinking about it, Snotlout. Don't even try to deny it." She huffed while focusing her attention back to the movie.
Unicra watched how her counterpart reacted and smirked a little. Seems she and Emily have the same thought and instinct those that they grew close to.
"Man the fort, Hiccup, Emily. They need me out there!" Gobber said as he attached an axe to his arm and began to run out to the battlefield but turned around at the doorway to give them a look.
"Stay. Put. There. You know what I mean." Gobber said before running off with a battle cry and he just missed the smirk on Hiccup's face as he glanced at Emily.
"You left him alone?!" Stoick exclaimed in disbelief.
"Well, technically. Not entirely alone. Emily was with me the entire time." Hiccup said sheepishly but didn't deny that he was left alone.
"Are you in or not?" He asked her as she looked at him before looking back out to the fray before smirking and nodded.
"I'm in." She said with a smirk to which he returned.
"Seriously?!" Stoick was even more shocked and surprised.
Ratchet gave Emily a look who shrugged with an expression that says 'someone has to keep an eye on him'.
Optimus couldn't stop the growing worry about his Sparkmate even though she's already sitting beside him.
After a few minutes, Hiccup burst through the doors of the forge while pushing his invention out with Emily following.
"Hiccup, where are you going?!"
"Come back here!"
"Yeah, I know! Be right back!" Hiccup shouted over his shoulder while avoiding vikings who made sure to get out of the way.
"Excuse me!" Emily shouted while she ran beside Hiccup to their destination.
Emily and Hiccup tensed at this and Hiccup wanted to hide under a rock right now as the Vikings watched intently with bated breath.
Hiccup and Emily quickly made it to a quiet area and he set up the Mangler and got ready as they both stared up at the night sky and waited for the elusive dragon.
"Come on. Gimme something to shoot at, gimme something to shoot at." Hiccup muttered quietly to himself before he noticed that Emily's eyes were glowing again as if she was following something that he couldn't see.
It's always like this every time it's dark and it's hard to see. Emily's eyes seemed to light up a second later and he can see where he was going a few nights ago.
"Our optics or eyes glow sometimes when it's dark. To help us see better and give those that can't see well aid." Ultra Magnus pointed.
"That's still creepy, you know." Astrid muttered.
As he continued to ponder this, his eyes caught on a shadow, visibly blotting out the stars and he quickly got his hands ready on the trigger waiting for the right moment to launch the bola.
It gives out its signature high-pitched whistle before it fires at an empty watch tower and the explosion illuminates it, showing a visible shadow of it for a split second. Not missing a second, Hiccup pulled the trigger and shoots the bola but the strength of the force was too much for him and forced him down but Emily quickly caught him as they both look up as the bola hit something and a loud cry was soon heard as the shadow is seen plummeting down into a forest.
A few seconds of shock silence, Hiccup couldn't believe that he actually did it. Emily was in disbelief but was really worried for the dragon as she looked to where it fell since Optimus was hiding in the forest.
A few seconds of shock silence and then the whole area cheered minus Emily, Hiccup, the bluenette, Astrid and the TFP gang.
"Son, I'm so sorry for not believing you! Once we go back, we'll go and hunt the dragon." Stoick said.
"I-It's okay, dad. It's not there anymore." Hiccup said but his voice went meek since he had a feeling this movie would show why.
"Oh, I... I-I hit it? YES! I HIT IT! Did anybody else see that?" Hiccup shouted victoriously as Emily was about to answer him but her eyes widened at the dragon behind Hiccup.
Hiccup winced and turned around when he heard his beloved invention broken only to come face to face with a Monstrous Nightmare and it was standing on what was left of his invention.
"Except for you." He said sarcastically.
The cheering stopped as people chuckled at Hiccup's sarcasm but couldn't help but feel worried.
It gave off a low growl and Hiccup backed away from it only to become shocked when Emily quickly stood in front of him as her hand somehow changed into what looked like cannons and shot the dragon square on the face with what looked like a fireball as she looked at him.
"RUN!" She exclaimed as they quickly made a run for it as the Monstrous Nightmare began to chase the screaming boy and the blonde as it was angered by the blonde human that attacked it.
Ratchet looked like he was about to explode and give Emily a scolding but Hiccup was quick to come into her defense.
"If she hadn't done that, I would end up getting hurt and she would get blamed for it." He said in his friend's defense.
"Young one, what she did almost gave away her origin and that was very reckless, Emily! You could've hurt yourself." Ratchet said with a stern look.
"I'll try not to get myself killed next time, Doc." She said in a reassuring tone which was enough to calm him down.
The dragon breathes out a liquid stream of hot flames at Hiccup and Emily who both quickly run behind a torch pole and hide just as the dragon fires again but thanks to their thin and slim frame, the fire only sprayed on each side of their hiding spot.
Hiccup checks the side of the torch pole to see if the dragon was still there only to hear a growling sound from the other side as Emily quickly puts her arms around Hiccup in a protective hold. The Nightmare was about to get Hiccup and Emily but Stoick jumps in just in time and punches the beast.
Stoick watched how Emily was quickly putting herself at risk to protect his son. Maybe he misjudged her a bit too much.
The two had a small stare off before the dragon tried to breathe fire, but coughed up only a few drops of flaming liquid instead, having exhausted its shots and was at its shot limits. Hiccup and Emily watched as it gave a look that said 'uh oh' before looking at Stoick nervously.
"Uh oh is right, big fella." Wheeljack said.
"You're all out." Stoick said as he marched up to it and gave it a punch and a few kicks as it quickly flew away for its safety.
"That would have left a mark." Arcee commented while sitting between Cliffjumper and Tailgate.
Stoick just huffed and faced the torch pole as it collapsed on the side to reveal both Hiccup and Emily as Hiccup looked at his dad with a nervous look on his face while Emily fidgeted slightly at the chief's stare. The torch tumbles down into the village, leaving ruins in its wake.
"Oh, and there's one more thing you need to know..." Hiccup whispered to Emily.
"What's that?" The TFP kids asked curiously while the Bots and Cons just winced at the destruction that was being shown.
The torch rolls onto the Nadders that Stoick netted earlier, freeing them as the Vikings holding the net down scramble to get out of the way. Hiccup winced as he heard some of the other villagers tried to avoid the flaming part. The dragons manage to escape, hauling off most of Berk's food and livestock.
"Sorry, Dad." Hiccup said sheepishly but knew he'll get an earful at this. Why can't he just do something right for once?
