Hello everybody. So, this story was previously called The Other Rider but I can't think of a new title so for now, it will be called The Other RiderV2. If any of you have a good idea for the title I would love to hear it. Anyway, this chapter is long over do and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you to everybody who supported me in my last story and I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to answer any reviews.

CHAPTER 1:

A girl and dragon spiraled expertly through the air together. In the night sky, all you could see was a faint blur as the black dragon streaked across the stars. She laughed as she sat up and smiled as she felt the wind slam into her face. She pulled off the black hood to let the wind whip her hair. Patting the dragon, the girl opened her jaded green eyes.

"Let's land." She mumbled in his ear.

The dragon cooed in agreement and began a sharp descent. She gripped the saddle tighter and soon they thumped to the ground. The dragon began to growl as the girl hopped off his back. She could sense someone move from the shadows and into the small camp they were in.

"That dragon never ceases to amaze me." A voice said.

"Don't flatter him Viggo." The girl replied coolly

"Remember your orders girl." Viggo snapped. "I have another job for you Valkyrie."

The girl-now named Valkyrie-wanted to use a snarky comeback but she rolled her eyes, glared at Viggo, and said, "I don't have any orders."

"Hold your tongue! Or else I'll take that away. You remember what that was like, don't you?"

She immediately felt her jaw clench and she bit her lip. There was no way she was going through that again. Her glared hardened as her eyes shifted into a dark forest green.

Viggo gazed at them. "Good. Now it should be simple. Especially for you…"

Valkyrie curled in on herself next to her Night Fury. He draped his wing over her like a blanket to protect her. She laid her head back and felt the warmth of his scales seep into her. Smiling, Valkyrie closed her eyes and hoped to catch a little bit of rest before they came.

But, not five seconds later, a loud voice cut through the silence around her. Immediately, the dragon curled up tighter around Valkyrie. His electric blue eyes scanned the skies for any sign of danger. As the voices-now plural-approached, she could hear them more clearly.

"Hey, Astrid, did you see me blast those ships? Snotlout! Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi!" Snotlout cheered.

"Yes I did see, right before I had to rescue you from Ryker!" Astrid sighed. Valkyrie could sense that Snotlout was on a Monstrous Nightmare and the girl was on a Deadly Nadder.

"Yeah, but nobody was as good as Barf was today." A girl chimed in.

"Except Belch, Ruff!" A boy tittered.

"No Tuff, Barf was definitely better." Ruff said. They flew overhead on a Zippleback. Haven't seen one of those in a while. Valkyrie thought.

"Belch!" Tuff snapped.

"Barf!"

"Belch!

"BARF!"

"BELCH!"

"I saved your butt Snotlout! Just admit it!" Astrid yelled.

"I got out of there on my own!" Snotlout argued. By now, all the arguments had blended into one and she could tell that they had all pulled into a hover over them. Valkyrie hopped on Flash and prepared to take off.

"Can you stop arguing? You're giving poor Meatlug headaches." A boy whined.

"Shut it Fishface. Your whining is giving her headaches." Snotlout snarled. The fighting broke out even louder as they began to yell at each other and started to complain. Valkyrie clamped her hands over her ears as their obnoxious voices reached her sensitive ears.

Suddenly, the unmistakable sound of a Night Fury's blast rang through the air. It exploded in the middle of the group and Valkyrie took that as a distraction to take off and hover above them in the clouds.

"SHUT IT! For Thor's sake, can't you go five minutes without fighting? Your arguing is giving me a headache!" A different boy said. Time to set the plan in motion. She sighed.

What confused her though was why she could hear the sound of metal clicking and how his dragon's wing beats sounded so familiar to Flash. She cocked her head. Her dragon was supposed to be the last Night Fury and yet Viggo left out the fact that this boy had one of his own. Something within her shoved these thoughts out of her head and her eyes became even darker. The only thing left was her mission.

Hiccup rubbed his hands through his hair, exhausted. He had stayed up all night the last few days pacing and thinking about the mission. He sank a little farther into the saddle and Toothless growled in comfort.

"Let's head back to the Edge…IN SILENCE!" He told them. As they shifted forward, Astrid bit her lip in shame and waited for Hiccup.

"You stayed up again didn't you?" Astrid accused. Of course though, Astrid already knew the answer. Instead, Hiccup turned his head and studied the ground. In response, Astrid punched his arm and scowled.

"I deserved that." He muttered despondently.

"We've talked about this. You can't stay up for days. It could jeopardize a mission and impair your judgement. You should know this from what happened last time during the Midnight Sun. And you-" She turned on Toothless. The Night Fury grumbled something and looked at Astrid with a what-do-you-want face. "You should have tried to do something about it! How could you just let your rider work himself to exhaustion?!"

Toothless glared and mumbled something angrily. Hiccup patted his head and Toothless growled at his rider.

"How is this my fault?" Hiccup protested. Again Toothless growled and Hiccup just crossed his arms and huffed, fighting back a sarcastic retort. As Astrid began to go on and on about how he needed sleep, Hiccup heard the sound of coughing coming from the sea below. Toothless's ear plates perked up and he scanned the ocean below for anything.

"Wait-Stop talking." Hiccup ordered.

"No. You can't tell me to-"

"Shh! Listen." Hiccup grabbed her face to look at him. There was more coughing and spluttering from below them. Together, they turned their heads down. What they saw shocked them beyond anything.

Lying in the middle of the ocean, on a thin wooden plank, was Viggo Grimborn.
