“Ow-” Ben Tennyson rubbed his head as the seventeen year old looked around his new surroundings. The young superhero was in one of his Alien forms known as XLR8 which was a dinosaur like alien with a long black and blue banded tail and wheels for feet. One minute he was fighting an alien and the next he was here. Whatever this island was. [For Astrid]
Astrid had been patrolling on an island not far from berk. When suddenly she saw something….appear? It was almost dragon like. But something was off. She’d already. Landed and was watching the creature closely from away.
Snotlout still held Iona tightly to his chest, he even still had his arm wrapped around Ben’s waist. He snored and mumbled some as Ben moved.
Astrid was up and moving already. She had gone outside to start her usual morning flight training. She was adjusting her Nadder’s saddle and got on her back to fly.
Ben snuggled into Snotlout as he really didn’t want to get up right now. The alien man let out a content sigh as he watched his boyfriend and Iona sleeping. He felt safe and at peace despite the pain his back was causing him.
“ Hey Astrid,” Hiccup was also awake as he gave Toothless his morning meal.
Astrid almost jumped, turning she looked at her love. “Hiccup…..you know better then to spook me!” She said in a calm tone but very much on the defense. She breathed out. “You’re never up this early, why are you up?” She asked and walked closer to him.
“ Couldn’t sleep, kept getting these dreams of Berk being attacked by Vilgax himself.” Hiccup told his bethrothed softly.
Eventually Ben got up to start his day as his back was tended to by Gothi. It was looking better. But there was still risk of it getting infected.
Snotlout didn’t wake up long after. He watched Ben move and without his shirt. He was seemingly in a sleepy daze of his boyfriend. Then moved to sit on a stool next to where he begun being worked on. “How ya doin?” He asked curiously
Astrid sighed, “we will be fine. If anyone can do this it’s us. Especially with Ben with us.” She said to him.
“ Better than yesterday, my back is still sore.” Ben spoke softly not wanting to wake Iona up. “ The Nightmare I had last night was of Vilgax killing you and Iona.” Ben frowned as he recalled the intense dream he had.
“ Your right, Ben’s shown how powerful he is.” Hiccup mused as he helped Astrid. “
He ruffle bens hair “it won’t come to that okay?” He said he looks at the small nightfury dragon in his arms.
Astrid smiles. “I’m gonna go fly….I’ll see you in a bit” she said kissing his cheek before she took off.
“ If you don’t feel well at any moment come straight home okay?” Hiccup told her before she took off.
“ I know, none of us are going to let that happen.” Ben nods to his boyfriend as he gingerly puts his shirt back on. “ Hey, there’s something in the forge I’ve been working on that I wanna show you.”
Snotlout raised a brow. “You what?” He asked. Astrid was up for less then 10 minutes before she came back down. She slid off Stormfly quickly and leaned over to throw up. She held her stomach as she did so.
“ C’mon!” Ben had the most excited grin on his face as he gently grabbed Snotlout’s hand. Iona woke up as she followed her mother.
Hiccup was soon next to her as he heard Astrid. Hurrying to her side as he helped her.
Astrid stood up straight slowly after a few minutes. She wiped her mouth. She looked at Hiccup. “Every time I fly I get dizzy and sick….” she said with worry and frustration.
Snotlout followed Ben as they held hands. He was curious as to why he wanted Snotlout at the forge
Once at the forge Ben pulled back the curtain to reveal a suit of armor he was working on. The metal was pitch black like a Nightfury scales with some detailing to mimic the scale pattern. His helmet was designed similar to Hiccup’s. But much more streamline and had slits on the side for airflow. Black gauntlets overlapped each other like scale armor but gauntlant has a space for the Omnitrix. It was still in progress. “ Since I got here I realized Inwas going to need more protective gear than just my jacket. “ Ben joked lightly as there were shedded madder spines on the table being worked into arrows.
“ Maybe we can go to Gothi and see if she has anything for it? Maybe the baby can be causing your body to become overworked?” Hiccup suggested.
Snotlout looks in shock, “How did you do this? This is amazing. And you’ve never forged before.” He said to him. “N-not that I’m complaining. I’m amazed!” He exclaimed and looked closer at the armor.
Astrid sighed and nodded. “Probably a good idea. Gothi will know what to do” she said to him. And she began to walk with him to Gothi.
“ Hiccup and Gobber have been helping me out with this. Hopefully I can get this done before Vilgax’s next move. “ Ben’s fingers brushed against the armor admiring it. On another table the chest plate and leg armor was laid out along with shoulder pauldrons and a hilt for a sword were laid out.
Hiccup gently took Astrid’s hand and followed her. Hopefully it was just a side effect of the pregnancy.
Astrid and hiccup walked into Gothi’s hut, “Hey Gothi…” she spoke, “Gothi, I have a problem. I seem to be getting sick with every time I ride Stormfly” she explained with concern.
Snotlout looked in surprise at what he saw, “it’s amazing! I can’t believe you’ve been doing this!” He said with excitement
Rubbing her chin thoughtfully Gothi began through her herbs and ingredients that she’s used before for an upset stomach. Using her cane she pointed to some dried up plants that she began to make into a tea for Astrid. “ So apparently the plants will settle your stomach before you flying or just in general. She’s seen in the symptom plenty of others moms expecting a baby or even father’s who have their stomach in knots from sheer nervousness. Oh ha ha very funny,” Hiccup quipped playfully. The tea smelled lovely fragrant as it was being boiled down as Gothi handed Hiccup the instructions
Ben couldn’t help but blush. “ I’m glad you like it. Once my back heals I’m going to do a final fitting to check for any adjustments I may need to make.”/p>
Astrid read the markings just to be sure. Her eyes moving from that to Gothi. Being in awe at her making the tea. She hugged Hiccup as he finished explaining
Snotlout smiles, “It’s gonna be great! I’m excited to see it finished!” He said as he still looked it over her fingers playing against the metal.
However Ben’s attention was caught by something going on outside the forge, as two dragon hunters had been apprehended by he village guards as he sheathed his sword in his sword belt. “ Where’s that little demon of yours?” The hunter teased the guards. The demon was the nickname Ben earned outside of Berk because of his powers. “ We got some words from an old friend of his named Vilgax, Of was it Wilgax.” The hunter barked out a laugh at his joke until he saw Ben approach him. The alien man looked serious as he had a firm grip on the hilt of his sword. Ben suddenly grabbed the hunter with surprising strength by the throat and slammed him against the wall behind him. “ Talk, now!” Ben said with a low growl as he pressed the side of his blade against the hunters throat. His toxic green eyes narrowed like Toohless’s whenever he dragon was angry.
Gothi carefully poured the tea into a cup for Astrid as she presented it with a soft smile to the dragon rider when Hiccup heard the commotion outside.
Snotlout noticed his sudden seriousness and watched him walk off. He picked up Iona again to keep her close and went to catch up with Ben. He saw the hunter and his eyes narrowed.
He heard his voice and rolled his eyes. “I’d suggest you talk” he said after Ben spoke. “You’re messing with the wrong Vikings. So get it out!” He said to him.
Astrid nodded thanks to Gothi. Taking some sips of it. But as Hiccup started to notice the commotion so did she and she looked at the tea and drank it. Every drop and she thanked Gothi. “We should go Hiccup” she said and already hurried out of the hut towards the noise. Her expression hardened
Iona whimpered seeing the hunters as she snuggled into Snotlout, remembering what they did to her. “ Alright alright I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” The hunter was getting really nervous. “ I heard he’s preparing to attack Berk in four months time as his ship is damaged. And he’s has two hostages on his ship.” Ben’s eyes widen as he suddenly stabbed his sword into the hunter’s shoulder. “ Who are the hostages?!” Ben snarled as . “ Your grandfather Max and your cousin Gwen. Oh he got a lot of enjoyment torturing those two.” That was not a good thing to say as as Ben became extremely angry driving his sword deeper into the hunter’s shoulder as the man began screaming for mercy as Ben really began hurting the guy as he protested when Hiccup grabbed his arm. “ Alright that’s enough!” Hiccup ordered as Ben glared at him. Ben looked at Hiccup and then at the Hunter as he pulled his sword out the tip covered in blood. “ Remind me to never make Ben mad.” Tuffnut whispered over to Fishlegs. Ever the dragons were hiding behind their riders.
Snotlout held Iona closer covering her eyes at the sight of what was happening. “BEN! STOP!” He yelled at the alien boy as he scrutinized the hunter. Fishlegs looked in worry at the scene. We didn’t torture people, for all the riders this was like crossing a line.
When Hiccup stopped the Ben, Astrid grabbed his shoulder. “Cmon lets take a walk. You need to breath” she said to Ben and began pulling him away from the scene. When they were far enough away she stopped Ben. “You can’t do that. You can’t harm people like that. There’s always another way!….” she says to him in a stern tone. Then she breathed out and relaxes, “It’s your family he has correct?….” she paused then continued, “…we will get them back…” she said to him.
Ben was shaking from all the emotion swirling around in him. For nearly a year he was living with the Berkians he thought his family was dead. He gently squeezed Astrid’s hand as a thank you as he looked over to Snotlout’s direction as he suddenly felt incredibly ashamed of what he did. Iona then hopped out of Snotlout’s arm as she trotted over to Ben, sensing her mother’s distress.
Snotlout watched her leave his arms and he noticed Ben was looking at him. He had a wide eyes and a bright blush. Fishlegs nudged him to go talk to Ben. And he coughed once before he walked over to his boyfriend.
Astrid sighed, “go talk to him” she said before she started walking back to Hiccup and the gang passing Snotlout.
She went to Hiccup, “Are we ready to try this? Fishlegs….do you mind coming with us.” She asked him. “We need someone else to fly with me and Hiccup just Incase. I think it’d make Hiccup feel better” She added.
Ben gently picked up Iona as he walked back to his and Snotlout’s hut. He was emotionally drained as he sat down on their shared bed now that they were dating. He smiled weakly at Iona’s attempts to cheer her mother up. Ben looked up hearing Snotlout. “ Hey..” he said tiredlybas he saw Hookfang gently chuff towards Iona and the baby dragon bounded off towards her sire.
Astrid and Fishlegs walked with Hiccup to their dragons. She could feel some nerves this time around.
Snotlout looked down at Ben, “Hey….” he paused. He had his arms crossed. “Are you okay?” He asked his boyfriend. Concern both in his voice and his facial expression
