After a bit of explaining and practical things, the students were ready to fight their first dragon. Gobber opened the gate and out came a Gronkel. The fat brown dragon flew around and took aim at Astrid. A Gronkel only had seven shots to use and he was aiming carefully. After taking out everyone else, Astrid was the only one remaining.<br/><br/>Hiccup watched from the sidelines as the dragon took aim at Astrid and was ready to fire. Things were interrupted however when something explodes a few homes a bit away from the training arena. Hiccup heard the familiar sounds of the Nightfury and took off without a second thought. She dropped her shield and sprinted out of the arena while Gobber was putting the Gronkel away and the other students ran to help put the fires out.<br/><br/>Hiccup ran and climbed up a mountain where she was hiding her trapping invention. She took aim at the sky and waited, she didn't have to wait long when the Nightfury got caught in her crosshairs, Hiccup fired and hit the dragon, it fell from the sky and off in the distance. "I hit it!" She yelled happily. She jumped up and down, but her celebration was short lived when a Monstrous Nightmare lit itself on fire and chased after Hiccup down to the village.
