"No...No..dad..wait..Don't hurt him!"
Hiccup shouted but as unsual his father didn't pay attention to him. Stoick was ready to kill the dragon (the dragon that spared his life and saved his son)when Hiccup jumped in front of Toothless shielding him from Stoick with his own body. This got disbelieving looks to the boy from the tribe members and a worried coo form Toothless instantly. Even Astrid looked at the boy with dropped jaw. Stoick paused but shouted at his son:
"What are you doing?! Get away from that beast right now!"
However the boy didn't move and looking at his father for the first time he shouted back:
"No! I won't let you hurt Toothless! He's not dangerous!"
The boy's actions took everyone by surprise atleast as much as the words themselves did. Stoick cut back at a even stronger tone:
"What do you mean?! Hiccup these BEASTS KILLED HUNDREDS OF US!"
The man was clearly expecting the boy to give up because of the voice he was using but Hiccup's flames didn't fade:
"And WE KILLED THOUSANDS OF THEM!...They have to raid us to defend themselves, if they don't bring enought food back they will be eaten by their queen too..That thing on their island is.."
He was cut of by his father:
"You were on their island? In the nest? How did you find it?!"
Shocked looks were shared at the information while Stoick grabbed Hiccup by the shoulder. Hiccup let out a gasp at the sudden pain at which Toothless tried to push up and help him but he was restained too. Stoick went to repeat the question but in a tone that surprised everyone there:
"How did you find it?"
Hiccup turned his head away showing that he wouldn't tell his father but Stoick wasn't about to accept this and lifting his weapon stated:
"Tell me now or I 'll kill that dragon and make you watch!"
Hiccup was shocked by these words he heard Astrid gasp too. Before his father could make a move he said:
"I didn't find it... only the dragons can find it... Toothless took me there ... but Dad you can't beat that thing.. their queen is... huge. I don't think.."
However his father wasn't listening and cut in:
"You betrayed us for them. You're not a viking. You're not my son."

Hiccup just stared at his father then looked to the ground. The other teens looked at the scene in horror. Stoick didn't even let his son explain anything he just decided to throw his son away without hearing him out first. They were surprised by Hiccup lack of reaction too. It was as if the boy was expecting this to happen and was just a bit surprised by the sudden turn. Before anyone could say anything Stoick turned to his tribe and continued:
"Take this traitor to the jails! Put the dragon with the others! and Ready the ships!"
Hearing this one of the man grabbed Hiccup while others put Toothless in a cage then they began to prepare the ships.
While the adults were preparing the ships the teens sat around a table in the Hall. They heard every word Hiccup said and weren't so sure that the idea of going to fight that thing without knowing everything was good at all.

Finally Fishleg broke the silence:
"Do you think it is true? Can a queen really control all those dragons and just eat them...How big that thing is if...?"
The twins shouted:
"That thing could cause a lot of destruction!"
"Yeah That would be so cool!"
The others just looked at them and sighed. Snotlout tried:
"There is no way, right? I mean ... I think."
Astrid knew it was now or never. She needed to do something and she needed help. She was worried about Hiccup, Toothless and the others who were ready to go to their death. So she broke the silence:
"Guys, I need to tell you something and I want you to hear me out and keep this a secret afterwards."
The others looked at her then noded so Astrid added:
"Don't ask questions until the end. I will hit everyone that interferes, am I understood?"
The others just noded again so Astrid took a deep breath and started :
"Alright. This happened yesterday. After the battle in the ring I followed Hiccup and found out about Toothless. Things happend and he took me for a ride on Toothless to show me he is not the beast I thought he was ..and it was amazing but then Toothless started acting strange then we noticed there were dragons all around us and in the end we were in the nest where Toothless instantly went to hide. We watched them throwing all the food down but we couldn't see where then the last Gronckle dropped just a little fish down. The next thing we saw was a huge dragon head that swallowed the Gronckle as if it was nothing. When we escaped the nest I saw it eat a Zippleback in one bite too...We didn't saw more, just the head but that thing is real and huge."

The others looked at Astrid for a while then Snotlout asked:
"So that thing is there and the adults are preparing to go there to fight it?"
Astrid let out a relieved sigh, happy that the others weren't calling her traitor too but then again they had bigger problems than that so she informed:
"Yeah, and I don't think they stand a chance."
Fishleg paniced:
"What are we going to do?! They will all die!We need to tell them!"
Tuffnut confused asked:
"But Hiccup already told them, didn't he?"
Ruffnut answered:
"Yeah and he was closed to jail for it. I don't want be jailed too."
Snotlout surprising everyone stated:
"We will need a plan if we want to save them and fast. But..."
Fishlegs started so fastly that they almost didn't understand:
"We are not good at planing. I mean look at us. We never really plan things too much and I never read about anything like this."
He would went on ranting but Tuffnut stopped him as he put in:
"Except for Hiccup. He got these strange things planed and all."
Everyone looked at Tuff surprised one thing flashing in their head:
'Did he just say something that's not idiotic?'
Astrid however called:
"That's it!"
Tuffnut back to his confused self asked:
"What?"
Astrid sighed but explained:
"We are going to the jails. The adults are busy and it's Hiccup. They won't be guarding him. We could speak to him and ask for his help."
This got a shout from Snotlout:
"Let's go!"

However, things weren't in their favor. When they wanted to go the jails the adults would always see them and give them jobs to do. In the end they agreed to meet at the jails when everyone else was asleep. By the time they made it they had second thoughts like:
'How to start this?'
They weren't sure what to tell Hiccup or how to ask for his help. They weren't really close to him and now he was thrown out of the clan too after all.
They walked towards his cell anyway. They just hoped he would speak to them and help then they froze when they heard Hiccup's voice. They saw no one around but there was no way Hiccup knew they were there yet so they decided to wait a bit. It could help them to know if he was upset about things and all so they hide and wait. They saw Hiccup standing in the door of his cell his hands out but it was too dark for them to see more than that.
Hiccup for his part angrily noted:
"Oh, come on. They can't really be this dense. Just leave me here. Not even taking my knife and expect me to still be here in the morning? Really? Oh for the love of ... I was the one who designed these damned locks you idiots."

Then there was a clicking sound and the door opened. The teens were shocked. They themselves were thinking on helping Hiccup escape in exchange for his help but it seemed Hiccup had his own plans. Before they could get over their shock Hiccup took of towards the Kill Ring whispering:
"That's the easy part done."
The others followed but decided in not entering the arena instead just watching from outside.
They saw Hiccup open the cage Toothless was in and setting the dragon free. They couldn't help the smile that crossed their face when said Night Fury started licking the rider like crazy pushing him over in the prcess but going on all the same. After getting free Hiccup send the dragon to the entrance to keep watch then let out the other dragons too. After a few minutes they all took off towards the forest. Seeing this the teens looked at Astrid who noded and lead them to the cove.

As soon as they arrived there they saw Hiccup sitting on a rock Toothless right besides him, the other dragons behind him watching Hiccup. The boy laid down on the rock sighing. The other teens could clearly hear the sadness in his voice as he said:
"And what should I do now? It's not like I can stay here in the village anymore. Not after my little show in the arena today."
The Nightmare's nose pressed against his hand at that and he turned to the dragon to see him look at him apologetically. At that Hiccup rubbed the dragon's nose and said:
"It wasn't your fault... My fa... I mean the chief caused you to attack. I'm just happy they didn't hurt any of you while I was jailed."
He moved his other hand to rub the Nightmare with it but gasped in pain and grabbed his shoulder. In an instant all the dragons were on their feet and looking at him. Clearly worried about what happend. The little Terrible Terror jumped in Hiccup's lap as he sat up too. Looking at them Hiccup sighed:
"I'm alright guys. Really. I just forgot how strong Stoick grabbed my shoulder is all. It'll be all right give it.."

Then he paused when they heard a sound from the way of the forest. They turned to the way of the entrance to see the teens standing there frozen. The dragons instantly closed a circle around Hiccup ready to attack but Toothless motioned them to wait. He saw Astrid with the teens and the girl meant no danger and if she trusted the others enough to bring them here then maybe they could trust them too after all. Hiccup broke the tense silence:
"Why are..? What are you guys doing here?"
He wasn't angry just surprised. They could hear it in his voice and they felt relieved at that. Astrid decided to take the lead:
"We wanted to speak to you. Nobody knows we are here and we didn't bring any weapons either. We just came to talk."
This got the dragons to smell the air a bit before Toothless give a nod to his rider to prove the claim. Hiccup relaxing at that turned to the dragons and said:
"Alright, guys. They're okay. You heard them. No weapons, no others. Just go. Relax a bit while I speak with them, alright?"
The dragons didn't move though. Hiccup groaned but added:
"I will call if I need you, alright?"
Hearing this the dragons nodded and went to rest a little away except for Toothless who stayed right besides Hiccup. The boy rolled his eyes then motioned to the others to come closer and informed:
"He likely not gonna give up and leave anytime soon so you will have to accept that."
This got surprised looks from everyone asides Astrid who noted:
"Not too surprising."
Hiccup then asked:
"So what did you guys wanted to speak of?"

Astrid wasn't really sure how should she explain everything:
"Well... to be honest we went to the jails because we wanted to ask you to help us stop the adults somehow and.."
Since she paused Fishleg decided to put in:
"and we didn't have a plan at all. Astrid told us about yesterday so..."
Then Snotlout cut in:
"Yeah, so ..we followed you to ask you and we're here."

Hiccup was shocked by them. They were acting as if they were afraid of asking. In the end he decided to help them out :
"Alright, I got it. However, I don't really have a plan that will work for long. I mean I just let all of the dragons escape from the arena so they can't find the nest using them. That's not gonna work for long though. There will be other raids and I can't interfere everytime they catch a dragon. If I could beat the queen then there wouldn't be a problem anymore but I need time to train with Toothless for that and even then I'm not sure we could do it without some help. As it's the only way would be if I beat that thing before Stoick manages to find the nest and takes the others to their death.

The others were surprised by that. In the end Snotlout was the one who asked what was on everyone's mind:
"You mean you plan on fighting that thing?"
That wasn't the only thing in Astrid's mind so she added:
"You? For people who treated you like...like a trash... all your life?"
Before Hiccup could say anything the twins said:
"Yeah, even your father said you weren't.."
Then they were hit in the ribs by Snotlout and Astrid while Fishleg just shouted:
"Guys!"

But Hiccup was an expert at hiding his feelings so he just said:
"It's alright. Also, I know it's stupid but even if they don't I still do care about them. It's not just for the people of Berk either. The dragons deserve their freedom and I'm going to fight with them for it."
Everyone was shocked by Hiccup words except for Toothless who looked at his rider almost like he was proud of him.

Then Tuffnut broke the silence again:
"Hey, you could destroy stuff with the dragons. That would be so cool! They could cause a lot of explosion. I love those."
They looked at Tuffnut at that, then turned to Hiccup who burst out laughing at the words. When he stopped laughing mostly he said between chuckles:
"Sorry, I just... You guys are really alike so..."
He suddenly stopped while the others looked at him not understanding what he was talking about.
Astrid asked:
"What do you mean?"
Hiccup turned away then decided it would be easier to just explain than come up with something believable so he started:
"Ohh, I was just thinking that you guys are a lot like them..(he pointed to the dragons) You see Ruff and Tuff are always against each other but always together and they love destruction just like them (he pointed at the Zippleback ). Then Fishleg strong body and big heart and a desire to learn just like her (he pointed at the Gronkle). Snotlout big power and self-confidence. The type, who solves things by force just like him ( he pointed at the Nightmare). Astrid a beautiful, quick warrior, who use her brain and strength against her opponent just like her (he pointed at the Nadder).

The teens and dragons looked at him shocked and then at each other and at him again. Hiccup feeling unconfortable after what he just said asked:
"What?"
Astrid easily saw the reason behind the defensive question though. He afraid he said something he shouldn't have. So she broke the silence asking:
"Is it really like that? I mean.. you just said we would make a good pair with them and..."
She didn't know what to say. To tell the truth she was shocked but excited too. Then Hiccup still a bit worried said:
"Ah... You don't have to. I was just..."
Hearing this Astrid got even more excited and asked:
"You mean we could ride them?"
When she asked that Hiccup was surprised to see that not just her but the others to looket excited. The twins jumped before Hiccup then Tuff said:
"I wanna do it."
This got a reply from Ruff:
"No, I wanna do it."
Hiccup sighed and said:
"Guys. Same dragon. Just stay there a little?"
He walked to the Zippleback and asked:
"How about it? Wanna come?"
The Zippleback noded and started walking towards the already fighting twins. Hiccup sighed and was about to stop them but the Zippleback decided to take action instead and grabbed the twins holdig them far from each other.
Hiccup just laughed and said:
"That's one way to make bond too, I guess."
That got a nod from the Zippleback.
Hiccup then he turned to the others and said:
"It will be a lot easier. They already know you and trust you on a level so how about just.."
Before he could finish the others walked towards the dragons and the dragons stepped towards them too. Hiccup was amazed at the sight before him. All the teens were laughing rubbing the dragons neck and head while the dragons purred happily.
