Chapter 7-Double Defiant

"Alright everyone mount your dragons we are going-""Hiccup, please," Astrid had been trying to get hiccup to talk to his father for the past week. He'd tell her later but, that never seemed to happen."Astrid I said later," hiccup kept pushing off the inevitable, "we were just about to go fly as a group to see how you all fair together.""But stoic made it clear we're not allowed to. That's what I'm trying to tell you, he doesn't want us flying around the island," Astrid explained, going over to hiccup.Hiccup looked to her, "and? I don't care what he says.""Well, I do!""Fine! You pick a side, Astrid!" He mounted toothless and gave him a small Pat, "come on boy let's go."And they took off, leaving the rest behind.Astrid sighed and looked to the twins, "can you two go make sure he doesn't leave the island?""You bet!" Ruffnut surprisingly wasn't upset."Yeah and we totally won't try and burn down stuff on the way!" Tuffnut agreed as they both got onto barf and belch. And they took off before they could get stopped.Astrid shook her head slightly, "now I have to go talk to the chief. If he comes back will one of you make sure he stays in the arena? Because the twins won't.""Yeah, sure whatever," snotlout answered, not paying any attention. While Fishlegs nodded.Astrid looked at stormfly and gave her a few neck scratches before she left to go talk to stoic.~Stoic watched as he saw the night fury flying over the island, and a zippleback going after it. He sighed and looked back to the village. People were watching in fear while others ran for cover. The dragons had been causing fear forever and now they were constantly around making the village go haywire. While looking at the crowds he saw Astrid running over."What is going on?" Stoic asked once she made it to him, "why is he up there with a hideous zippleback?""That's ruffnut and Tuffnut up there to make sure he just doesn't leave the island," Astrid began to explain, "but he won't listen to me, you are going to have to talk to him.""Well if he won't listen then I guess I'll have to make him," stoic stated. Giving Astrid relief but only for a moment."Everyone! Get ready to capture some dragons! We're going to prove a point," he pointed to a few Vikings to do as he asked, but Astrid stepped up."No! Wait, just, give me more time, I'm sure I can get through to him," Astrid tried to convince the chief.Stoic moved her to the side, "no. We've waited long enough."Astrid sighed realizing there was nothing she could do and she went back to the arena."What happened Astrid? You don't look too good," Fishlegs came over, while Astrid was catching her breath.She took a moment before looking up at them, "stoic is going to capture some of the dragons to try and get hiccup to land, and not fly the dragons.""And hiccup isn't going to stop is he?" Fishlegs realized the severity of the situation.Astrid nodded, and went over to stormfly, while Fishlegs went to meatlug. Snotlout was already by his dragon and found this not something to worry about."I don't see why this is our problem," snotlout spoke, "this is between them." Both Fishlegs looked at him like he was an idiot. And Astrid sighed with a slight facepalm, "do you want to start a war between berk and the dragons? You know the haddock house is as defiant as yours. Neither of them will give until one of them wins, not if it goes too far."snotlout muttered something, but his dragon blew smoke from its nostrils into his face. Making snotlout gag, "cut it out hookfang!""Snotlout is kind of right Astrid, what are we supposed to do?" Fishlegs asked, a worried look on his face.Astrid sighed and looked back to stormfly, giving her pets. She wasn't sure what to do, but she had to try and talk to hiccup. He was more reasonable, probably.~Hiccup landed back into the arena. being practically being herded there by the twin's annoying abilities. He put his hands over his ears once the twins landed too, and he looked at them."Shut. Up. Now!" Hiccup screamed, "I have never. Never! Found two people more annoying in my life! And I know snotlout!"The twins just laughed in response as they got off barf and belch. Hiccup sat there on toothless grumbling and rambling before toothless moved and made him tumble off, and there was the sound of metal snapping. And toothless looked around slightly and looked to hiccup, and tilted his head. Hiccup sat up, groaning slightly as he sat up and looked at the metal foot, that was now broken.He groaned and pulled at it a bit, detaching it from the pull system for toothless' tail. And looked to his dragon, "well this is just lovely, help me up will you?" Toothless leaned down and helped him up onto his one foot, and he looked at him. He sighed slightly before hopping slightly over to the cage he'd put his stuff in. Toothless being right next to him and helping him along the way. Astrid looked at Fishlegs and motioned for him to go over to the twins to shut them up, and then she went over to hiccup. Watching him as he went to a bag on the ground and pulled out a spare leg and attached it."And that's why I always bring a spare," hiccup stated, before standing up straight again, looking to toothless before to Astrid.She looked at him and sighed a bit, before speaking in a soft tone, to hopefully keep the peace, "hiccup, you have to talk to Stoick. He is going to lock some of your dragons up if you don't stay on the ground with your dragons."Hiccup stepped back slightly, toothless looking at him and trilled slightly. And hiccup went and grabbed his sheathed sword and put it on his belt. Turning to go on toothless but Astrid stood in his way."Hiccup please don't do anything irrational he's just worried about his tribe," Astrid tried to reason with him.But he just wouldn't listen, "if he wants to be...be all petty. Then fine. You know what I can be petty right back. Come on toothless, I'm sure those dragons he's captured aren't being fed like they should.""You're not thinking what I think your thinking," Astrid asked, as toothless went around her and up to hiccup.Hiccup mounted his night fury and glared at her, "it's what you Vikings deserve."And toothless flew off, with a raging dragon king on his back.
