The Haddock Twins: Defenders of Berk

Live and Let Fly

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from How to train your dragon

In a middle of a lone cave lit up by two torches stood Fishlegs Ingerman tied up.

The chubby, blonde boy was struggling against his bonds when a mysterious voice called out to him. "Tell us what you know about the dragons, boy. Tell us how you train them!"

"I won't talk! You can't make me!" Fishlegs shouted defiantly as he continued to struggle.

"Oh, I think we can." With that, the fires on the two lit torches were extinguished, leaving Fishlegs surrounded by darkness.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" Fishlegs asked meekly. He then started to hyperventilate. "Oh, you can't- you can't leave me in here." Hyperventilating more, Fishlegs couldn't take it anymore and caved. "Okay, okay! Hiccup and Hicca are the leaders of the Berk Dragon Academy! Hiccup owns a male Night Fury named Toothless and Hicca owns a female Night Fury named Midnight! Then there's Astrid! She's mean, but in a nice way. Her dragon is a blue Deadly Nadder, shoots spines, loves chicken! And Raeda, she's a skilled archer and rides a purple Nadder. Snotlout rides a Monstrous Nightmare, but were not actually sure who's more monstrous, him or the dragon! Then there's the Twins. They share a Zippleback, actually they fight over it."

After the confession, two blasts of fire were shot out, lighting up two additional torches. Those torches were held by Hiccup and Tuffnut as they stood with the rest of the Dragon Riders who all held disappointed looks, revealing that the interrogation was a test.

"What?! You KNOW I hate the dark!" Fishlegs defended, noticing the others disappointment.

"Great. Fishlegs? More like "Guppylegs". Jeez..." Tuffnut scoffed.

"We're Vikings, Fishlegs! Toughen up!" Raeda said.

"Raeda's right, Fishlegs, you can't cave in!" Hiccup agreed. "Alvin would do a lot more than turn out the light to get you to talk. He had me locked in a dungeon ready to be executed! Toothless and Midnight were chained in muzzle for days. You need to stick with what we discussed: your name, where you live, and nothing else." He listed.

"Stick with those three things throughout and the interrogators will eventually get bored and move on." Hicca added.

"All right, I'll work on it!" Fishlegs said.

"'Mean?' I'm not mean." Astrid muttered.

"I have to disagree with you there, Astrid. You have your moments." Raeda said.

Snotlout decided to step in. "It's okay, Astrid. I like mean girls." He said with a wink, to Astrids' disgust.

Astrid rolled her eyes as she and the others left the cave with their dragons.

There was only one problem.

"Uh, guys?" Fishlegs called out, still tied up. The other riders have already left, leaving him and Meatlug."Hey, girl. Can you untie me?" However, the Gronckle merely licked her rider and then went to the side to take a nap."Please?"

"I'll untie you after my nap" Meatlug warbled.

After the days training session, the Haddock twins with Toothless and Midnight met up with their father, Stoick the Vast, at the docks where the Berkian chief delivered a shocking announcement.

"Grounded? All the dragons? Are you serious?" Hiccup asked in disbelief.

"Deadly serious." Stoick said, while monitoring the work of the villagers."From this point forward, there is a ban on flying, period."

"What? What about patrolling, training?" Hiccup asked.

"And our defenses?" Hicca asked.

"What part of 'ban on flying' did you not understand, Hiccup and Hicca?" Stoick countered.
