After five minutes, everyone came back to their seats as Hiccup got some chocolate bar to munch on which he liked instantly. Optimus was delighted to see some Energon candies which he and Megatron almost took all of it much to the amusement of their teams and sparkmates. Guess the big guys have a big and major liking to those. Emily was munching on some rust sticks much to Hiccup's confusion.

Sophia got herself a bucket of popcorn and resumed the movie.

Both Hiccup and Emily returned back to the village but it was already raining heavily when they did and both were soaked to the bone. The two made their way to the Meade Hall where Gobber told them all to meet up. They entered just in time to hear Gobber ask what Astrid did wrong at the training arena earlier.

"You two are gonna catch a cold one of these days." The bluenette said while munching on some fish sticks.

"Alright. Where did Astrid go wrong in the ring today?" Gobber asked the teens at the table.

"I mistimed my somersault dive. It was sloppy. It threw off my reverse tumble." Astrid said as she just poked her food.

This got her eye rolls from the twins and Emily who was squeezing the rainwater out of her hair.

"Yeah, we noticed." Ruffnut said sarcastically.

"No, no, you were great. That was so 'Astrid'." Snotlout said with praise as he tried to woo her but he only got a roll of Astrid's eyes at his attempt.

Astrid rolled her eyes as well while eating some stick snacks in a box that was called pocky and almost covered in pink coating called strawberry from what the pink hair highlighted girl suggested and it was delicious.

"She's right, you have to be tough on yourselves." Gobber said before he noticed the newcomers as Hiccup just grabbed the two plates of chicken leg available while Emily grabbed two cups of their drink.

But thanks to Snotlout who didn't let them sit with the others, they just went to a vacant table and sat there and across from each other. Hiccup just stared at his food solemnly while Emily just took small nibbles from her food.

"Not much in the mood for Snotface attitude if I'm being honest." Emily said as she bite on another rust stick.

"Where did Hiccup go wrong?" Gobber soon asked.

"Hey! Leave me out of it!" Hiccup snapped as he paused on eating his chocolate.

The idiotic twins answered and their answers just made him want to go back to the house and hide. Emily looked at him sympathetically while gesturing gently for him to eat at least a little bit of the food to which he did.

"Uh, he showed up?" Ruffnut answered but it just came out as a question as she snickered.

"He didn't get eaten." Tuffnut said with a smirk.

Astrid's answer just made him stop completely from eating his meal while Emily shot the twins a scolding look.

"He's never where he should be." Astrid said as Gobber nodded while smacking the twins on the head.

Emily sent them the same look as the twins just ignored it as they were eating some gummy worms as Astrid winced.

Emily shoots Astrid and the twins an angry look before her eyes soften as she looks at Hiccup.

"Something tells me they just don't like you that much." She muttered.

"Was it that obvious?" Snotlout asked smugly as the TFP teens just gave him a deadpan look.

"Tell me about it." Hiccup mutters.

"Thank you, Astrid. Now where did Emily go wrong in the ring?" Gobber soon asked as Emily glanced at him with a confused glance.

"Ram against the dragon." Tuffnut said.

"It was to save his life, dumbass." Emily rolled her eyes as she finished her rust sticks.

"She attacked the dragon without any form of weapon." Astrid said as Emily just rolled her eyes at her. If only she knows what Hiccup saw of what she can do at the empty hill a while ago.

Emily and Hiccup shared a look with knowing smiles.

"Thank you again, Astrid. You need to live and breathe this stuff. The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of." Gobber said before pulling out the dragon book and putting it on the table.

This made the TFP cast to perk up at the sight of the book. Maybe they can find some info about the dragons there.

"They really need to update the book to be honest." Sophia said as she appeared between Emily and Hiccup.

Thunder was soon heard outside when he finished as he just looked at the ceiling before he headed off for the night and left the book with the teens.

"No attacks tonight. Study up." He told them and left.

Miko let out a silent groan and causing Jack, Raf, Emily, Vince and Silvia to roll their eyes at her. She's not a fan of studying alright.

When he did, the three bullies were just in disbelief while some of them were curious about what the book has.

"Wait, you mean, read?" Tuffnut asked in confusion.

"While we're still alive?" Ruffnut asked like it was the end of the world.

"Can they even read?" June questioned in confusion.

"Psh. The only ones who would read that are Useless, Winters and Fishlegs." Snotlout remarked and getting a growl from the others and a glare from Emily and Unicra.

"Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?" Snotlout question while hitting the table with his fist.

Emily just rolled her eyes and looked at Hiccup who looked at her as well and mouthed 'because he doesn't read' as he quickly hid his face on his arms while trying not to laugh out loud as she snickered.

Snotlout gawked in shock and disbelief. What did she say?! Hiccup bite his bottom lip to stop himself from laughing while the others just burst out laughing.

"Oh! I've read it like, seven times. There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face. And-And there's this other one that buries itself for like a week-" Fishlegs said as he eagerly started to share what he knew about what's in the book of dragons.

The twins and Snotlout looked at him weirdly like he grew a second head while Hiccup and Emily watched him curiously while Astrid just ignored them. He was then cut off by Tuffnut who used his hand to make him shut up.

"Rude much." Vince said.

"Agreed." Silvia nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that sounds great. See, there was a chance I was going to read that..." Tuffnut said with a smirk.

"... But, now..." Ruffnut finished as she just stared at him blankly with her brother.

Snotlout then stood up to leave since he didn't want to read a boring book.

"You guys read, I'll go kill stuff." He told them before heading off back home with the Thorston Twins and Fishlegs following who kept talking about dragons.

That made the TFP teens to roll their eyes at Snotlout. Typical.

"Oh, and there's this other one that has these spines that look like trees..." He said as his voice trailed off.

Emily nudged Hiccup's shoulder as he looked at her. She motioned with her eyes to the table next to them and he saw that Astrid was the last one to go as she was eyeing the book hesitantly. He looked at his friend who shrugged as she got up and walked to Astrid while gesturing for him to wait.

"Snotlout and the twins. The three of them don't seem to like learning much, do they?" Emily asked in an attempt to start a conversation.

"You have no idea." Astrid says.

Astrid just raised an eyebrow at that before looking to Emily who shrugged with an innocent look.

She just doesn't get it. Why is Winters even trying to talk to her when she's friends with the chief's useless son? She just doesn't trust her at all when only Gobber, Hiccup and Gothi seemed to have taken a liking to her.

"Wait a fragging moment. Are you jealous?" Miko asked in confusion.

Astrid stiffened at that. Her? Jealous? As if! But then she realized that she was. She was jealous that Hiccup has been hanging out with a teen a year older than she and the others are. And she got more jealous that Hiccup is closer to her than the others but she knows Hiccup and Emily doesn't like each other on a lover's level since Emily seemed to be in a relationship with the metal being in red, blue and silver.

Hiccup soon got up from his seat after he saw that the conversation wasn't going well and Astrid suddenly had the urge to leave the hall and the book.

"So I guess we'll share?" Hiccup asked but was rudely stopped when she pushed the book in their direction as she left.

"Read it." Astrid lied as she left the hall, leaving Hiccup and an annoyed Emily with the book of dragons.

"Wow. That's a little rude, girl." Miko pouted.

"I agree. Why did you do that if you haven't even read it yet?" Tai agreed with Miko.

"More for us then. Wow, okay. So I'll see you, uh..." Hiccup said with fake enthusiasm and tried to finish his sentence but was stopped again when she slammed the door closed.

"Tomorrow." Hiccup finished with a sigh.

"She didn't even read the book." Emily told him while crossing her arms.

Astrid blinked in surprise. How did Emily figured it out?

He let out another sigh as he eyed the book curiously.

"So, wanna read the book?" He asked her hopefully and hoped that she wouldn't back down.

She just laughed and ruffled his hair while nodding.

"What's with you and messing up my hair?" Hiccup questioned since he liked the feeling since it gave a sense of comfort.

"I just like to do it and I sometimes do that to Raf or Jack." Emily answered.

Later that night, the two returned to the Meade Hall to read the book with Emily. She lit two candles and put them down gently on each side of the book as they sat down and flipped the book open as there were several classes of dragons in it.

"Dragon classifications. Strike Class, Fear Class, Mystery Class." Hiccup started to read before opening the book to a page showing the Thunderdrum.

"Thunderdrum: This reclusive dragon inhabits sea caves and dark tide pools. When startled, the Thunderdrum produces a concussive sound that can kill a man at close range. Extremely dangerous, kill on sight." Hiccup reads and it shows a picture of a viking getting their head blown off by said dragon.

That made the teens shiver as Bumblebee covered Raf's eyes but the kid just peeked through his guardian's digits to see.

He flips to the next page as the dragon in it was called the Timberjack.

"Timberjack: This gigantic creature has razor sharp wings that can slice through full grown trees. Extremely dangerous, kill on sight." Emily reads and is still disturb of the gory parts of the page.

Hiccup flips the page to the Scauldron.

"Scauldron: Sprays scalding water at its victim. Extremely dangerous-" Hiccup reads but was startled when a huge crash of lightning was heard outside.

They both look to the door just in time to see a flash of lightning. Emily was already on high alert but they went back to reading the book to the Changewing.

"Man, you're not deterred that easily huh?" Bulkhead commented.

"It is a brave aspect of a member of a village." Ultra Magnus agreed.

"Changewing: Even newly hatched dragons can spray acid. Kill on sight." Emily read before Hiccup started to flip the pages and saw all different types of dragons on it.

"Gronckle, Zippleback, Stormcutter, Grapple Grounder, Beezelord, Razorwhip, Rumblehorn, Dramilion, Mudracker, Slithering Smokebreath, The Skrill, Boneknapper, Whispering Death, Death Song, Deathgripper." Both Emily and Hiccup read as they were all surprised by the contents and they shuddered when they noticed the drawings seemed to move by the candlelight.

The couples huddled close to their partners as Sierra was holding Jack's arm. Tai had his tail around Miko to comfort her since she was shaking. Raf had to stop a small whimper from escaping from the sight of moving pictures.

"Burns its victims, buries its victims, chokes its victims, turns its victims inside-out. Extremely dangerous, extremely dangerous, kill on sight, kill on sight, kill on sight..." Hiccup continued to read before they reached the very last page about the Night Fury.

The page was blank and had no pictures or information about the elusive dragon minus small information about the dragon.

"Night Fury: Speed, unknown. Size, unknown. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance: Hide and pray it does not find you." Hiccup reads. He then took out his notepad and placed it on top of the book as the candlelight illuminated it.

"How come it is blanked?" Ultra Magnus raised an optic ridge.

"They never really have a good look at a Night Fury so we didn't get much information on it, sir." Emily stated as Ultra Magnus nodded but was a little disappointed since he looked exactly like the Night Fury in that other form.

Hiccup handed the book to Emily as she turned to the page of the Stormcutter.

"Stormcutter.

FIRE TYPE: Sustained and blazing torus of fire.

FEATURES:
Two pairs of wings, head frills, "Smashed" face, three tail fins.

ABILITIES: Exceptional maneuverability and diving, prehensile claws, twisting head about 180°.

SIZE: Large: 31 feet 3.25 inches (9.53 meters).

WEIGHT: 2,500 lbs (1134 kg).

WINGSPAN: 48 feet (diagonally). Stormcutters are known for their large size, iridescent fish-like scales, and two pairs of wings. They have owlish mannerisms and a second set of wings under their main ones. Stormcutter dragons walk on this second set of wings and their hind legs. The wings can also come close together so they can appear to be one main pair. They have a very muscular and sturdy build. Their face has two long spines that branch off their brow to the side and they have a flattened, owlish face, making them seemingly brachycephalic. They have a three-finned tail, many spines down their back, and a large crown of spikes on their head that makes them look even more menacing. Titan Wing Stormcutters look very similar to their Broad Wing counterparts, apart from differences in color and size. They have brown, leather-like scales. Their wings are red near the body, at the base, and gradually lightens into pale pink towards the edge. They have a larger crown and tail fin, and the spines along their back are bright red and larger. Extremely dangerous, kill on sight." Emily reads as she remembers that Optimus looks exactly how the book described the species and guessed that's the species he's in.

"Guess we figured out what type of dragon Optimus is." Hiccup said as she nodded.

"Yeah. A titan wing." Emily said softly.

That made the Vikings gulped. The Stormcutter in the screen was a titan wing?! They've only heard of it but seeing one was enough to send shivers down their spines.

They both decided to turn in for the night and left to get some rest for the training tomorrow.

The next day at the Arena, they were there for the second day of dragon training but didn't expect that a maze was set up there. When Gobber let the Deadly Nadder out, the teens all scrambled away and tried to hide from it and Hiccup and Emily got separated when they were making a run for it. And Hiccup took this opportunity to ask Gobber about the Night Fury.

This made Hiccup stiffened. He remembered this day and he was dreading to see it again.

"You know, I just happened to notice the book had nothing on Night Furies. Is there another book? Or a sequel? Maybe a little Night Fury pamphlet?" Hiccup asked only for him to yelp in shock and surprise when a magnesium fire blast hit the metal part of the axe he was holding.

"A pamphlet? Seriously?" Miko question.

"I was curious and wanted to find out more." Hiccup defended himself.

When he looked in the direction it came from, he was startled out of his wits when he saw that the Nadder was approaching him with a roar like squawk.

"WHOA!" Hiccup yelped.

"Focus, Hiccup! You're not even trying!" Gobber exclaimed as he quickly made a run for it as the dragon lost sight of him and went to someone else.

"Uh, yes he is. He's just a little distracted and wanted to learn about the dragon more." Vince said while crossing his arms.

"Today is all about ATTACK! Nadders are quick and light on their feet! Your job is to be quicker and lighter!" Gobber told them just as the Nadder spotted Fishlegs and launched several of its venomous spikes at him which he quickly

"Is it just me or does that Nadder look like a parrot, ostrich and T-Rex combined?" Raf inquired curiously. The kids look closely and found similarities.

"Yeah, you're certainly are right, Raf." Ratchet said.

"AAAAAH! I'm really beginning to question your teaching methods!" Fishlegs exclaimed in fear and panic. How can anyone learn from Gobber?!

"I questioned it when I was around 6." Hiccup pointed out.

"Did once when I was there for two days." Emily agreed.

"Look for its blind spot. Every dragon has one. Find it, hide in it, and strike!" Gobber advised them as Emily and Hiccup met up again and made sure to avoid the Nadder together.

And just by luck, the twins accidentally ran in with the Nadder and they both quickly halted in front of it but it can't seem to find them. It moved from side to side and the twins followed its movements while trying to stay quiet but the quietness didn't last long as Ruffnut gagged when she caught a whiff of her brother's body odor.

The parents of the twins just face palmed. They seriously get into fights 24/7. Seeing them get along is a rare moment.

"Ugh! Do you ever bathe?" Ruffnut said as quietly as she could, hoping the Nadder wouldn't hear.

"If you don't like it, then get your own blind spot," Tuffnut snapped, his voice worriedly loud.

"How about I give you one?!" she shot back, literally butting heads with him.

Miko snickered with Knock Out, Smokescreen, Cliffjumper and Bumblebee at them.

Their argument escalated that they forgot about being quiet and the Nadder let out a squawk which caught their attention. It breathes out a stream of bright fire at the sound of their fighting. They barely managed to get out of the way in time as Ruffnut quickly grabbed her brother's arm and the two ran off for safety.

Emily gave Ruffnut a point for getting her twin brother out of the range of the fire.

"Blind spot, yes. Deaf spot? Not so much. Heh, heh, heh." Gobber said as he laughed mischievously.

"How do you find that amusing?!" June questioned as she was seriously worried for the teens and their safety.

Just then Hiccup stopped just below him as he still needed answers to his question as Emily was catching her breath for a minute beside him.

"Hey, so how would one sneak up on a Night Fury?" Hiccup asked but only got a half-baked answer to his question.

Hiccup just covered his face and groaned while slumping against Toothless.

"No one's ever met one and lived to tell the tale." Gobber told him before snapping.

"NOW, GET IN THERE!" Gobber snapped as Hiccup was really desperate for answers.

"Hiccup, you ask your questions later. Right now we need to focus on not getting killed." Emily told him.

"I agree with those two." Agent Fowler agreed.

"I know, I know, but hypothetically-" Hiccup told her before Astrid's voice caught their attention.

"Hiccup! Emily!"

They both turned their heads to see Astrid and Snotlout was crouching down and possibly hiding from the Nadder which was close by.

"Get down!" She whispered and motioned for them to join them.

Jack raised an eyebrow at this.

She peeked from the corner and saw the Nadder looking to the side as if to get a better look. She took small and steady breaths before rolling to the other side. Snotlout followed next with Emily right behind.

She stopped by the wall and gestured for Hiccup to hurry. He attempted to do the same but he got weighed down by his shield. The Deadly Nadder turns its head and soon spots him. Emily quickly pulls him back up to his feet and both manage to run just as the dragon lunges at him.

That made Emily almost cry out in surprise and alarm.

The Deadly Nadder jumped up onto the maze walls to try and spot the teens. It forgets about Hiccup and Emily and spots Astrid and Snotlout and jumps down in front of them.

Astrid attempted to swing her axe at it but Snotlout pushed her aside to 'protect' her from the dragon.

"Watch out, babe. I'll take care of this."

Eret gave Snotlout a stern look.

"Never call her that." He said as Astrid looked at him in surprise and had to stop a blush from appearing.

She shook her head. She just met him! She can't possibly be falling for him.

"Hey!" Astrid exclaimed in annoyance.

He threw his hammer at the Nadder but it just flew past its head and hit the wall behind it. The Nadder let out a squawk like laugh at his failed attempt while Astrid was giving him a glare at that.

Some laugh while Astrid was glaring at Snotlout while some facepalm at his stupidity. Astrid is not a damsel in distress.

"The sun was in my eyes, Astrid!" Snotlout tried to defend himself but they just made a run for it when the dragon breathed fire on them.

"What do you want me to do, block out the sun? I could do that, but I don't have time right now!" Snotlout said and quickly made a turn when the Nadder was chasing after them.

"Nice excuse. Starscream make better ones than you do." Knock Out said.

"Inquiry: Snotlout not smart." Soundwave said.

It soon chased after Astrid who slid a sharp turn and caused the Nadder to bump the wall where Hiccup was which caused a chain reaction to the other ones as it all fell down like a set of dominos. The twins were making a run for it while Emily was watching everything from where she took cover with wide eyes.

"They probably take the daytime off. You know, like a cat. Has anyone ever seen one napping?" Hiccup said as he was completely unaware of what was happening to his surroundings before Gobber snapped him out of it.

"Hiccup!" Gobber pointed something behind him and he turned around.

He was in disbelief on what was going on at the entire maze but he saw that Astrid was leaping from wall to wall to get away from the Nadder that was still chasing after her. But when she got onto the last wall, she ended up falling down to the heir who was taken by surprise.

"HICCUP!" Astrid exclaimed and he fell on his back as the dust rose.

The dust was settling down as the Nadder seemed to have crashed somewhere while both Astrid and Hiccup were seen in a rather awkward position. Hiccup was burning bright red to the face at their position while both of them were trying to untangle their limbs.

Both teens flushed red at their positions and Miko was close to teasing the two but Emily sent her a look and a shake of her head. This confused the others but they continue to watch to get their answer.

"Oooh! Love on the battlefield!" Tuffnut said loudly in a teasing tone.

"She could do better." Ruffnut said with a grin.

"Just... let me... why don't you- Ow!" Hiccup said but yelped in pain as Astrid was able to untangle herself from him and stood up.

The Nadder rose up from where it crashed and Astrid saw it, causing her to panic and tried to get her ace from Hiccup's shield. She then put a foot on his face and painfully yanked the shield and axe from him and swung it with great force at the charging Nadder.

Every dragon, Cybertronian, TFP kids and Hiccup to wince at that.

It was a direct hit as it yelped and whimpered away back to its cage from the pain it was suffering while all of the teens were getting out from their hiding spot.

"Well done, Astrid." Gobber told her as she panted heavily.

She then steeled her expression and turned to Hiccup with a harsh glare who was massaging his jaw while Emily helped him up. He looked up at Astrid and visibly flinched at the glare she was giving him.

The flinched didn't went unnoticed by Stoick as he narrowed his eyes a little and Hiccup hugged a stuff toy of Toothless for comfort as Toothless curled his tail around him after sensing his distress.

"Is this some kind of a joke to you?!" Astrid asked him angrily as he flinched again when she pointed her axe at him.

"Our parents' war is about to become ours! Figure out which side you're on." Astrid told him before leaving with the rest of the teens.

Hiccup watched them leave before he started to cry silently as Emily helped him sit down where there's some seats.

The sight stunned every Viking and dragon. The Vikings have never seen Hiccup break down or cry before but seeing him cry on screen have their hearts aching for the poor teen.

Seeing Hiccup crying on screen got Stoick worried as he glanced at the teen who was being comforted by Emily, the blue haired girl and the Night Fury with Raf.

Astrid covered her mouth in shock. She never knew that her words hurt Hiccup that much and now she regretted it.

Emily comforted him the best as she could while she was pretty much sure that Hiccup won't be feeling anything towards Astrid from what she said.

"It hurts, Emily... It hurts..." Hiccup whimpered pitifully as he huddled close to her for comfort.

Toothless crooned sadly and licked Hiccup's tears away who whimpered softly.

He couldn't believe it... After he tried to impress or win the girl of his dreams, her words stung him to the core and he couldn't handle it.

That made Astrid look down. Hiccup had a crush on her and now...

"She's not the perfect girl for you, Hiccup. She's just too proud." Emily comforted him as she tried to comfort him.

Emily got that right. Optimus gave Hiccup a sympathetic look with a sad smile.

She did the same when she was comforting Knock Out when Breakdown seemed to have chosen Airachnid.

Knock Out let out a shaky vent as he remembered that. Breakdown held his Sparkmate close at that. He was blinded by his infatuation on Airachnid but he was just glad he found his real conjunx thanks to Emily.

They stayed like that for a couple of more minutes before Hiccup finally calmed down somewhat.

"Why don't we go and see how our scaly friends are doing? A visit from them might cheer you up." Emily suggested and he nodded slightly with a small smile.

Seeing the bond with the two made everyone smile. Maybe they misjudged her. She seemed to be doing everything to make sure Hiccup was happy.

At least Emily was there when he needed a shoulder to cry on.

"That's true." Miko nodded with a fond smile as the next scene made Emily and Hiccup to perk up with Toothless.
