A/N: The terrible grammar was physically painful, so I fixed it! Happy Snoggletog! I'm on hiatus, this is just a little… I dunno. Consider it a present.

"OH, FOR THE LAST TIME, IT'S NOT A COMPETITION!" Savage flinched at the command in Hiccup's voice. It sounded eerily like his boss's enemy, Stoick. Alvin, Savage, and Mildew were spying on the dragon training academy. It seemed like the dragon riders had trained Terrible Terrors and were showing off their skills.

"Oh, c'mon, Hiccup! He's pathetic! Tell him I won!" That was Fishlegs Ingerman, the Gronckle rider. He and Snotlout, the Monstrous Nightmare rider, seemed to be yelling at each other, nose-to-nose.

Mildew looked puzzled. "That's odd. I've never seen Fishlegs be competitive or Hiccup yelling." Alvin snorted.

"Well, the Dragon Conqueror certainly looks angry. Looks like a mini Stoick when he's angry." They were interrupted by Hiccup.

"THAT'S IT! Fishlegs, I'm ashamed of you! I've come to expect this kind of behavior from Snotlout, but you? For Thor's sake, you've been ignoring poor Meatlug! Did you even notice that she left?" Fishlegs had the grace to look embarrassed. Hiccup wasn't finished. "Because of Snotlout's poor training, he gets last. For ignoring Meatlug, Fishlegs gets third! Since the Twin's dragons work together for their skill, I'm grouping them together into third. Astrid gets first for being the most level-headed and having the most useful skill. Fishlegs, until you get your priorities straight, you are not allowed to participate in lessons!"

All the trainers looked flabbergasted. The Twins suddenly threw their hands in the air. "YES! Fishlegs just got grounded!"

Hiccup's hands were clenched into fists. "No, not grounded. But unless he starts acting responsibly again, he may end up grounded! Class dismissed!" Fishlegs looked horrified.

"Hiccup, you can't do this! I'm one of your best-" Hiccup interrupted him.

"I can, and I did! Fishlegs, if you were a warrior of the tribe who let their equipment rust and was fighting with other warriors, my father would do the exact same thing. Don't make me ground you. Go and play with Meatlug, apologize for being a jerk. Once you're back to normal, I'll let you come back." With that, everyone slowly left the arena, Fishlegs looking deep in thought. Stoick walked in. Alvin almost growled like a dog, he hated Stoick so much. "What's going on?"

Hiccup sighed, suddenly looking exhausted and deflated. "Fishlegs got competitive, and started acting like Snotlout! Dad, I just don't know what to do! If Fishlegs doesn't realize exactly how bad he's acting, I may have to ground him. If he neglects Meatlug, she won't trust him. If she doesn't trust him, they can't work as a team and they're useless. I need all the dragon riders I can get, with Alvin and Dagur on the loose."

Stoick stroked his beard thoughtfully. "Hiccup, tough decisions like these are part of being a leader. You did the right thing. Fishlegs is a good lad, he'll realize that he was wrong. How about we go home, and get some ice? I've got a two-block headache, and I suspect you do too."

Hiccup sighed, exhausted. "I'll be there in a minute. First, I've got to clean up the mess Snotlout and Fishlegs made. For once, the Twins aren't the ones wrecking the Academy. Toothless, go with Dad. I'll be there soon. You can get dinner, and after I get home we can go on our sunset flight, okay, bud?" Toothless reluctantly grumbled his agreement, and he and Stoick left the arena. Hiccup leaned against the wall. "Oh, Odin, what is going on?"

High up on the edge of the arena, Alvin, Mildew, and Savage watched Stoick leave Hiccup alone. And defenseless. No dragons, no father, no friends. Perfect. "C'mon, this is perfect! We're taking home the Dragon Conqueror today, boys!" Savage laughed evilly, and he and Alvin walked around to the only entrance of the arena. Hiccup was oblivious, grabbing a broom and beginning to sweep away ashes from stray dragon blasts.

"Why, hello, Hiccup! Rough day of training, eh? Well, on Outcast Island, you won't have to worry about disobedient soldiers!" Hiccup whirled around and brandished the only weapon he had, a broom, at Alvin.

"I'm not going to train your dragons, Alvin!" With that, Hiccup roared a Night Fury distress call, hoping a dragon rider would hear it. Alvin growled in frustration. He had forgotten about Hiccup's Night Fury call!

He really should learn not to let Hiccup talk before kidnapping him. "Grab 'em!"

Savage ran over and pointed his sword at Hiccup, who had no choice but to drop the broom. The broom wasn't going to do much anyway. Savage took out a spare piece of rope and tied Hiccup up. Hiccup kicked, struggled, and screamed the Night Fury distress call, until Savage finished with the ropes and put his hand over Hiccup's mouth. Hiccup promptly licked Savage's hand, but Savage ignored him. Hiccup scrunched up his nose. Eew! Savage's hand was disgusting!

Mildew called down, "Alvin! Hurry! The Dragon Riders and Stoick are here!" Alvin muttered some very inappropriate words as he and Savage dragged Hiccup over to the hole in the ground. Mildew joined them, and just as they were about to jump down the hole when a terrified shout came.

"NO! STOP! Hiccup!" It was Astrid, Hiccup's almost-girlfriend.

Stoick landed on Thornado a yard away. "Let him go, Alvin!" Alvin cackled as Toothless roared at him.

"Oh, no. I don't think so." With that, all three villains jumped down the hole. Toothless lost it and fired at the hole, closing up the entrance. Safely in the tunnel, Mildew grinned at Hiccup.

"Stupid dragon! He just sealed the hole, giving us time to get away!" Hiccup just glared at the old man.

"Let's move!" Alvin got impatient with Mildew's gloating, and dragged Hiccup down the tunnel, Hiccup resisting as best he could. Savage and Mildew flanked the boy, uneasily looking down the abandoned tunnels. They were terrified that the Berkians had mapped the tunnels, or knew them well enough to ambush the Outcasts. They moved swiftly, despite their uncooperative prisoner. They distinctly reminded Hiccup of spiders, crawling along in the close darkness, appearing when you least expected it.

Hiccup was yanked out of his thoughts when Alvin pulled him out of the tunnel, to a beach. An Outcast landing boat was beached on the shore, and a full ship was out in the middle of the water. The skies were clear, no sign of Dragon Riders. Hiccup's heart fell. There was no escape.
