They say that dragons are only a legend that people from the past tell their children. Some say that they are monsters with cold dark stone hearts, that are filled with greed for gold and blood. Others say that they are gods and guardians that watch over and protect us and that they'll do anything for their bonded rider.
It is true that we first learned about them from books, but one day a palaeontologist couple learned about their existence when they came across a strange fossil. At first they thought it was a dinosaur, but soon after they put the skeleton of their discovery together, it turned out to be a dragon! A secret research society began to study them and kept their work a secret from the world. Their work soon stumbled upon a strange looking stone tablet with eight pieces. The piece in the middle is the centre piece that connects to the other seven and each one of them is marked with pictures of dragons.
After studying it and the power it contains, they found a way to bring their discovered fossilised dragons back to life. In order for it to work, they have to match the dragons DNA and connection to one of the seven stones and then give them new abilities that allow them to become cards. Their experiment worked more than once as they continued to bring more dragons back by turning them into cards. The stones can help them turn the dragons' card form into their true form and the cards are marked with the marked that are on the stones.
They named the marks the Class of Dragons and each piece was given their own name. They were called, Stoker, Boulder, Fear, Sharp, Tidal, Mystery and Strike. The two leaders soon stopped bringing dead dragons back to life so they can have a break and can focus on the future they'll have with their upcoming child.
The decision of what to do with the dragons wasn't decided yet, but they do hope that their choice will be for the best, for both the dragons and the people of the world. But there was one who had a different idea for them.
One of the workers, Alvin saw another purpose for the dragons and started to make cards that will boost up the dragon's abilities, reload their fire power, give them new moves and to let dragons use other dragons' abilities. He saw himself as the leader or even the king of dragons and what he could do with their power. He had managed to get some of the men to join him; he knew that his bosses wouldn't agree with his ideas and plans with the dragons, so he had no other choice but to take over and to get rid of them.
But what Alvin didn't know was that they were on to him and locked up all of their information, research and work away and can only be opened with their own DNA. They also scattered the cards all around the world, along with the stones, but kept two for themselves; both Tidal and Mystery class stones and dragon cards. But the centre stone remained with Alvin.
Alvin was furious when he learnt that they were ahead of him and started to send his men to hunt them down. The two stayed hidden in their home town with their friend, but five months after their son was born, Alvin was gaining closer to them and had restarted their work which allowed him to make copies of the stones and to bring back more dragons.
They weren't perfect or were anything like the first few cards; with their scale being different colours, some of their bones sticking out and having half of their strength cut off! The stones they were using were only made by using facts, Data and information they have or had on the real stones. Without the real thing and the locked Data, their dragons will never be perfect, until they get their hands on the real stones, the cards and the ones that they used to call their leaders.
The two knew that they have to give up their baby and to go their separate ways until things were set right again. The baby was given to their friend to keep him safe, while the two leave each other with both of them carrying a stone and a card each. They planned to find the other cards when the time is right.
As for the baby, Hiccup grew up in Gobber's care. He knew who his parents are and that they loved him, but he didn't know why they left him, their research and why they never seemed to call him like his cousin, Snotlout's Dad does when he is away. Hiccup longs to be with his parents again so they can be a family, but what Hiccup didn't know was that his wish is about to come true! Three weeks later after his fifteenth birthday!
Now
Hiccup woke up from his dream as he landed his head on the floor; he was reading while sleeping again, he was reading about Vikings again and their times with dragons. Hiccup rubbed his head before climbing back into his bed, with half of his left leg, he was in an accident when he was ten and has a Prosthetic Leg to keep him up on his own two feet, but he doesn't sleep with it.
"I really need to stop doing that and to get myself a night leg," as Hiccup finally got back onto his bed.
Hiccup looked at the photo of him and his parents when he was a baby. He missed them terribly, even when he doesn't even remember them. Before going back to sleep he took one last look at his book.
"Whoever the unknown dragon was, it took out the dragons on the island and all the men that were sailing nearby in one night," Hiccup read, "But how?" as he closed the book.
As he was putting the book the away, he saw what looked like a shooting star or a small meteor landing close by. He does owe his friends some excitement after their long week studying and that meteor might be his only ticket to pay them back. So he put on his Prosthetic Leg and then did a Snotlout, waking him up like he always does with him when he sees something amazing at night. Snotlout is staying with Hiccup and Gobber while his parents are away!
"Snotlout, wake up!" as Hiccup entered his cousin's room.
Snotlout groaned as he was woken up by his one legged cousin. He was starting to see why Hiccup was always so mad at him when he does it.
"What is it?" Snotlout yawned.
"I saw something falling from the sky!" Hiccup explained.
"Oh really, well then...Good night!" Snotlout grunted at the last part as he lay back down.
"I owe you and the others an adventure and some excitement after our studying!"
"And who's idea was it to make you owe us?"
"Umm...Yours!"
Snotlout began to groan. "Next time I pick you to owe me and the gang, just snap me out of it!"
"It might make our names big when we find it!"
Snotlout did like the sound of that, but he didn't want to show that his cousin had won by talking him into something he just can't ignore, again. "Fine! We'll check it out in the morning and right after I have something to eat!"
Soon after day light brightened the morning sky and when the two were ready for the day, they gathered the rest of the members of the V-Team, Astrid, Fishlegs and the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut together before setting out. All six of them are related to Vikings and since it was Vikings that brought them together when they were little, they called themselves the V-Team, which stands for Vikings and victory. The team chose Hiccup to be the leader; Snotlout had wanted to be the leader, but he lost the toss and the Viking quiz they had back when they forged the team.
"Snotlout," Astrid yawed as the team went to find the meteorite, "Next time you make someone pay you back for something you didn't enjoy, I'm going to give you a piece of my mind!"
"As long as it is with your lips against mine, I'm cool with that" Snotlout tried to reel Astrid in with his so called charms.
Astrid did her best to hold her breakfast in after seeing the smirk and the thought of him and her kissing; she'll rather kiss Hiccup than Snotlout. At least he doesn't try to get the best of her or gets under her skin and sees her as a person than whatever Snotlout thinks she is to him.
"How much further?" Tuff moaned.
"Yeah, I feel like we have been walking forever!" Ruff added.
"It's hasn't been that long since we started the search!" Fishlegs explained to the twins.
"Not much further now" Hiccup told his friends, "I saw it land close by here!"
As the team kept going down the path, they saw half of the trees cut down like something shot pass them in a line. Hiccup knew that they were getting close to the meteor. They followed the trail until they reached a tree with a big hole in it.
The trail was leading right to the tree, so the meteor must be in it, but why was the trail of cut down trees in a strange line instead of a straight one. Hiccup slowly walked up to the tree, getting his small torch out of his pocket to help him see what is in there.
"Do you see it?" Snotlout asked Hiccup as he leaned into the tree.
"Not quite," Hiccup replied. He was about to get up, but then he saw a strange object and three cards in some kind of small capsule shaped like an egg in the tree. "Wait!" as he took the first object out to examine it better. "It looks like a stone piece or tablet with a picture of a striking looking dragon on it" Hiccup described it to his friends, "And it has some kind of chip attached to it."
The others walked up to join him, but then they all saw other small stones on the ground. One by one the other five kneeled down to look at the other four stones.
"Here's another one," as Snotlout picked up the stone he found, "But the dragon on it looks all stoked with the fire coming out of its mouth!"
"This one is different too," Fishlegs looked at his, "And this dragon looks like a boulder with its rocky body and mace like tail!"
"Mine's different as well," Astrid added as she dusted her one off, "The dragon looks really sharp with its spiky tail, claws, teeth and head!"
The twins picked the fourth stone up together; their stone can become two pieces along with the chip. "Ours can become two stones," Tuffnut told his and his sister's friends, "Or did we break it when we picked it up?"
"Broken or not," Ruffnut added, "It has a really cool fearsome looking dragon with two heads!"
"Or one when you take them apart!"
There are times when the twins don't make sense, but there have been occasions when they do or say something that can give their team mates ideas.
But then all of a sudden after they started to fiddle around with the chips, the stones started to glow, along with their bodies. Each stone glowed a different colour. Hiccup's stone glowed purple or indigo. Snotlout's is orangey-red. Fishlegs' stone was glowing stone Gray. Astrid's light Blue and the twins stone was glowing dark Red.
The glowing soon stopped, leaving them shocked and surprised at what just happened. Are these stones special, magic or are they from another world?
"Um guys, I don't think that these are just stones" Fishlegs uttered, still shocked at what had happened.
"You can say that again" Snotlout added, as he was just as shocked as Fishlegs was.
"I'm not sure if we should tell people about these or not?" Astrid wondered.
"No one would believe us any way" Tuff added, his sister nodded in agreement.
Hiccup was just about to get up, but he then remembered the cards that were with the stone. So he reached back into the tree to get them.
"What are you doing?" Ruff asked.
"There isn't another glowing stone in there, is there?" Tuff added.
"No!" Hiccup replied, as he got the cards out, "Just a capsule with cards that have dragons on them!"
The others went up to Hiccup to see the cards as well. One of the cards has a picture of a tail-wing shaped flag; the second card is of a dragon firing some kind of purple light or fire. The third card has a picture of a black dragon with green eyes like Hiccup's and the dragon looked like the dragon on Hiccup's stone.
"The dragons on both the stone and on the front and back of the cards look alike," Astrid as got a better look at them, "Like they're the same kind!"
"I think your right" Hiccup replied.
Hiccup wanted to take a better look at both the stone and the cards; they look like they are supposed to be put together or something, so he gave it a try to see what will happen. But when he slid one of the cards down on the stone, both of them started to glow; along with the capsule that they were in. But this time the card turned into the black dragon that was on it.
It roared after it had transformed from a card into a fierce dragon with sharp teeth and claws, but for some reason half of its tail fin was missing. It wasn't gigantic, but it still frightened the V-Team as it stared at them. The team stood behind Hiccup with wide shocked, frightened eyes as the dragon walked up to them, but when it got closer to them, they started to run.
"PUT IT BACK HICCUP!" Fishlegs cried as they ran, "PUT IT BACK!"
"How?" he asked.
"Undo what you did!" Snotlout suggested with a cry of fear.
It was true that Snotlout's plans and suggestions aren't that helpful, but being chased by a big black dragon, they were willing to try anything. Hiccup tried to tinker with the stone until the dragon turned back into a card. Once it did, the gang stopped running and turned to see the dragon card that was now lying on the grass.
"What just happened?" the twins asked their friends at the same time. But the others were just as clueless, surprised, shocked and stunned as they were.
Despite what just happened, Hiccup wanted another look at the dragon, so he picked the card up and slid it across the stone on the other side of the card. But this time the dragon came out smaller, like the size of a baby dragon or of a small dog! It yawned and spread its wings before it got back up and bounded up to Hiccup.
"What the..." Hiccup asked himself. But the dragon jumped onto him and started to lick his face. "Stop that!" he told the dragon, but it didn't.
"What is that?" Snotlout asked.
"It looks like a dog with wings!" Tuffnut suggested.
"Or an escaped lab experiment!" Ruffnut added.
"Or that it's the same dragon we saw earlier, but smaller!" Astrid explained sarcastically.
The dragon soon stopped licking Hiccup and smiled a toothless smile at him.
"Toothless?" Hiccup wondered, remembering seeing teeth when it was bigger.
Deep hidden from the world, in a secret lab, some men picked up the black dragon's signal after it was awakened from its card, while they were making one of their dragon cards stronger and more like a real dragon. The signal disappeared not long after it appeared, but they got a fix on where it is from the capsule that it was in. So as soon as they are ready, they'll go to pick it up!
Later on the gang went to see Gobber, he is a former palaeontologist and he knows a lot about giant lizards, so he could maybe help them to understand Hiccup's new friend, the stones, cards and the capsule they found. They knew that it sounded like a lively story as they explained to Gobber what happened as the small dragon ran around the garden. Gobber examined Hiccup's stone first as the gang told him and once they were done; he started to look at the other stones.
"Are ya sure that this little fella is a dragon?" he asked them while watching the dragon play like a little puppy, "It's more like a puppy dog with wings! And when I said that I used to dig up large lizard bones, I was talking about dinosaurs, not dragons!"
"How should we have known?" Tuffnut munched on his fish finger, that was left over.
"They both begin with D!" Ruffnut added.
"We know the difference, Gobber" Astrid told him, "Well the twins may have trouble telling the difference, but what we told you about the stones and the dragon is true!"
"We saw Toothless turn from a card into a bigger dragon!" Hiccup added.
"Toothless?" Gobber asked.
"It's what Hiccup named it!" Fishlegs explained, "It had teeth when we first saw it, but when it became small and started licking Hiccup, they were gone! And Toothless', well toothless smile is what gave it its name!"
"Um, Fishlegs," Hiccup said as Gobber handed him back his stone, "I think that 'it' is a he!"
"How do you know that dragon is a boy?" Snotlout asked.
"I don't, it's just a feeling."
"I still find it hard to believe!" said Gobber as he looked at the last of the stones, "Now I know how you feel when I tell you my stories!"
"But it's true!" Ruff replied.
"Show him Hiccup!" Tuff added.
"Alright!" Hiccup sighed, seeing that the only way to convince Gobber it's true, is by showing him how both Toothless and the stone work.
Hiccup fiddled with the chip on the stone to turn Toothless back into a card, while the dragon was chasing a bird that was flying above him. Gobber looked a bit convinced, but he still didn't believe them. Until Toothless came out the size the gang met him! The dragon let out a roar with his teeth bared and his wings spread, Gobber couldn't believe his eyes, everyone was glad that Gobber believes them now, but they soon started to panic as Toothless went back to chase the bird.
"PUT HIM BACK! PUT HIM BACK! PUT HIM BACK!" Fishlegs cried.
Hiccup did so and brought Toothless back out in his small size, the dragon started to scratch his ear after he was brought back out. But he stopped to pick up Tuff's fish finger that he dropped when Toothless appeared bigger!
It took awhile for Tuff to notice that Toothless was eating his snack. "Hey!" Toothless quickly picked it back up and dashed across before Tuff could catch him, "Get back with my snack!" Ruff started to laugh as she watched her brother chasing the dragon in circles.
"Amazing!" Gobber uttered, "Dragons exist and can come out of cards with a stone! I'm going to do some work on the stones, capsule and the two other cards you kids found at the lab, while you try to learn more about your new friend!"
"I thought you stopped with the lizard bone stuff?" Ruff asked.
"I may not study them anymore, Ruffnut, but something tells me that we should look into this and to keep it a secret from the world! Who knows what might happen if people find out that dragons are real!"
Then with that Gobber started to head for his lab, while Toothless just finished Tuff's fish finger!
"Hey" as Tuff finally caught him, "Give it back!" Toothless bared his teeth to tell Tuff to let him go! "Never mind!" as he backed away from the dragon.
"Toothless!" Hiccup told him off. Toothless put away his fangs and cooed at his friend with a sad sorry face and then started to fly up to him, but somehow his wings couldn't let him get far off the ground? "What's wrong, Bud?" Hiccup asked as he watched his new friend trying to fly.
"Why can't he fly?" Astrid wondered.
"Maybe it's because half of his tail fin is missing!" Fishlegs suggested.
Hiccup felt sorry for Toothless, he knows what it feels like when you are missing a limb, but he has a Prosthetic Leg to keep him on his feet and Toothless has nothing to help him fly! He was also worried about how they are going to explain to the housekeeper, Flora May why he and Snotlout brought a little dragon home.
Back with Gobber he was scanning the stones the kids found and started to make devises to put them in so it would be easier for the kids to use them, with the help of his assistant and apprentice, Katrina Curious. Both Gobber and her grandfather, Heyral Wise are good friends and Katrina is a very bright girl when it comes down to science, history and computers.
Gobber knew that some day that the dragons would find him again; yes Gobber knew that the kids were telling the truth about the stones glowing and dragons coming out of cards before Hiccup showed him how it was done!
But he knew that the world isn't ready to hear the truth about dragons and the research that he did with his two old friends before one of their partners betrayed them and forced them into hiding, leaving him to care for their son while they try to find the dragons cards that are scattered all around the world!
Hiccup and his friends maybe young, but the dragons have chosen them to find the scattered cards before they wind up in the wrong hands! All they need is his help and the knowledge he has on dragons, the stones and Toothless; but they may need five or four more dragons before they can start their card hunt!
Alvin started to laugh as he heard that a dragon card has finally awoken. He was a bit upset that it disappeared, but his men made up for it when they recorded the co-ordinates.
"Got a fix on it?" Alvin asked his right hand man, Savage.
"Yes sir! The signal might be gone, but that doesn't means that it's not there anymore!"
"Perfect! You and two other men will go down there and bring me back that dragon! If we are going to make perfect and completed dragons, we need the real stones and completed cards so we can create my kingdom of dragons with me as its ruler!"
Alvin and his men had made copies of some of the stones and have been resurrecting dragon fossils, but they come out wrong and look like mutants and some dragons can't be brought back without the stone that is connected to them.
"Even if the dragons aren't perfect, Alvin" Savage suggested, "They can still fight and can help us to capture the missing dragons and our former leaders!"
"Don't call them that!" Alvin snarled, "They no longer lead us! I will make them pay for locking up that data and making us redo the research! Once I get my hands on them, they'll be the first to take part in the first ever dragon games!"
Later on in the day, Flora May had just arrived back at the house with her shopping; Snotlout has a bad habit of eating the house half empty every week, even when the gang don't come over for a meal or snack. She heard Hiccup, Snotlout and their friends talking as she entered the kitchen to put her shopping away!
"Good thing I stocked up double time this time!" she smiled as she started to empty her shopping bags.
She knew that they will sooner or later ask for a drink and snack! But she wasn't expecting to see a strange looking dog staring at her while she was about to put the tuna away.
"Oh my!" she wondered, "Where did you come from?"
"Toothless!" Hiccup called as he and the others entered the kitchen. "Miss May!" he gasped as he saw her.
"What's the matter, Hiccup?" Flora asked, "And did you let this dog into the house?"
The cat...or dragon is out of the bag and it looks like they have some explaining to do, but Astrid came out with a cover story just in time!
"He followed him home, Flora! We didn't notice that he did when we got back and he doesn't have anywhere to go, so can Hiccup keep him?"
"I suppose so, but Hiccup has to be responsible for him! But I wish you could have told me while I was still out so I could have got some dog food!"
"Do dragons even eat dog food?" Tuff asked the others. But they just shrugged their shoulders, they had no idea either.
Then before they said or thought of anything else, Flora handed them some money and an empty shopping bag. Was she sending them on a shopping trip to get things that she has forgotten?
Flora smiled at them as she handed them a shopping list for pet stuff. "Since I just got back and you six need some fresh air and time to get to know your new friend, I think that it is best that you go and get Toothless some pet food and other things that you may need!" The teens there stunned that they were given so much money to buy things for Toothless. "And once you are done, you can get yourselves lunch!"
Seeing that there was no reason to argue, they decided to head to the closest pet shop in town and then to a fish and chip shop when they're done. While they were shopping, Hiccup and Toothless were becoming very close to each other. Toothless was meant to be a dog while he is in his small size and at the house, but the dragon was more interested in the smell of fish in the cat food. They hoped that they can find dog food that has fish in it!
Once their shopping was done they all headed to the park so Hiccup and Toothless can play with the new Frisbee they just bought. Toothless wasn't happy about wearing a collar, so Hiccup made a deal with his dragon that the collar and lead would only be worn on their walks. The others watched the two as they were eating their fish and chips; Hiccup and Toothless had finished eating theirs before the others.
"Look at that" Astrid smiled at the two.
"I know," Fishlegs added, "They've really bonded!"
"But they just met today!" said Snotlout as he wiped the sauce off his face.
"We know that, but the way those two connect, it's like that they knew each other all their lives!"
"Yeah," Tuff sighed, "But I still don't think that it's fair!"
"Hiccup gets a glowing stone and a dragon while we just get a stone!" Ruff added.
"Each!"
"It's rare for us to say this when it comes to the twins," Fishlegs sighed, "But they have a point!"
"Maybe we should double back and see if our dragons are where we found the stones or not" Snotlout suggested.
"Maybe, but if they were, we would have seen them!"
"So what are you saying Fishlegs?" Astrid asked.
"What I'm saying is that our cards might be somewhere else! Like they could be in another part of town, in another part of the world or even in another world!"
It's true that the stones and the cards are unlike anything they have ever seen, but did they really come from another world? But then three men came walking up to them as Toothless brought the Frisbee back to Hiccup.
"You!" one of the men pointed to Hiccup. The others were wondering who they were and what they want from their friend. "Hand over the Night Fury and the Strike Stone, boy!"
"Night- what?" Hiccup asked them, having no idea what they were talking about.
"That dragon you have with you!" the man snapped, "And the stone you used to make it smaller!"
Toothless started to growl at the men and stuck out his teeth to back them off. Hiccup saw this and knew that these men couldn't be trusted, but how do they know about the stone he found and what kind of dragon Toothless is?
"Why do you want them?" Astrid asked the men.
"That's none of your business, girl" the second man snapped.
"We have orders to bring back what is rightfully ours," the third man repiled, "The dragons that were revived from fossils and then turn into cards and the seven stones that helped us to do it!"
"Toothless was a fossil?" the team gasped.
"Cool!" the twins replied at the thought.
Were these men telling the truth, did they really bring dead dragons back to life and turn them into cards? Did dragons actually exist in the time before or after the dinosaurs? Also if they really did make the cards by using the stones, how did they lose them and what are they planning to do with them? But the way Toothless was acting showed the V-Team that these men can't be trusted!
"Well you're not having him or the stone" Hiccup replied, without revealing that he and his friends have the four other stones.
The first man looked very angry and pulled out a strange object and a card that looked a little different from Toothless'!
"If you won't hand them over!" he replied angrily, "Then we'll just have to take them from you! OUTCAST SLASH!" he yelled at the last part as he slashed the card.
The card glowed and then turned into a spiky snake like dragon with a head that was bigger than its body! The other people in the park panicked at the sight of the dragon and started to run for their lives. The V-Team were planning to join them, but they knew that the dragon would follow them, so they ran deeper into the park with Toothless in Hiccup's arms as the dragon chased them, hissing as its teeth spun around in its mouth like a drill.
Toothless kept looking back at the dragon as the team kept on running. He wanted to fight it so it wouldn't harm his friend. The team were just about to reach some trees where they could split up and hand Toothless over to one another to confuse the dragon, but Hiccup tripped and fell before he could make it!
"Hiccup!" Astrid cried.
The dragon was just about to attack Hiccup, but Toothless jumped out of his arms and then leapt up and bit the dragon on one of its spikes on its head. Hiccup gasped as he saw what his friend was doing, it was true that Toothless was trying to protect him, but it still worried him. That dragon is far bigger than Toothless!
Hiccup quickly got onto his feet, real and fake, to get ready to catch Toothless just in case the large dragon flinged him off. But when it did, Toothless was sent far away from the others and was bashed into a tree before he could hit the ground!
"Toothless!" Hiccup cried. He was about to help him, but he then heard Gobber calling his name. "Gobber?" as he turned to face him.
"Catch!" as Gobber tossed some kind of object into Hiccup's hands, "Use it to help Toothless fight that messed up Whispering Death!"
"How?" Hiccup asked, "And what is it?"
"It's a Dragon Holder, it can help you to use the stone better! Call Toothless back into his card and then bring him out bigger!"
It was strange that Gobber sounds like he knows more than he told the others earlier when they had shown him Toothless and the stones. Was or is he still one of the men who are attacking them? But the way that the large dragon was getting closer to Toothless, with it spinning teeth, he had no choice but to trust the man who raised him.
He pressed one of the buttons and Toothless glowed and came right into Hiccup's hands as a card. "Here we go, Bud!" as he slashed the card to bring his friend back out, bigger.
Right after Hiccup slashed the card, the screen on the Holder showed the mark that is on both the stone and on the back of the card and Toothless came out in his full size with his teeth bared and everything. Both dragons roared and hissed at each other before they started to battle and the area around them changed into strange colours.
Hiccup was worried about Toothless, the 'Whispering Death' could fly while Toothless couldn't, but he could still jump and tackle his opponent. Things were looking good for Toothless, until the dragon knocked him to the ground and flew higher up!
"Toothless!" Hiccup cried. But then one of the other cards that he found with Toothless' came out of the Dragon Holder above the screen; it was the one with the red flag tail on it.
Having no idea what it would do, Hiccup swiped it on his Holder, hoping that it will help Toothless. The card glowed and the item on it attached itself onto Toothless' tail. Then arrows appeared on the screen.
"Use them to help Toothless fly!" Gobber explained.
Hiccup gave it a try and Toothless was air born, making it a fair fight with the spiky dragon. Toothless soon started to shoot out some kind of purple fire blasts at the dragon, while it fired Rings of Fire, but then after a few blasts, they couldn't bring out anymore fire! When both dragons couldn't bring out anymore fire and were looking tired, the spiky dragon still had a lot more fight than Toothless has and started to shoot sharp spines at him!
"On dear!" Gobber muttered to himself.
"What is it?" Fishlegs asked, he and the others joined Hiccup and Gobber right after Toothless took to the skies.
"Every Dragon has a shot limit! Night Furies have six, while Whispering Deaths have two. But that mixed up dragon still has some tricks up its sleeves!"
"But it doesn't have sleeves, or arms or legs!" the gang sighed at what Tuffnut had just said.
"But there is a way for Toothless to win?" Astrid asked, hoping Gobber would say, 'yes'.
"Yea, with the Plasma Blast move card you also found with Toothless! It reloads the shot limit and makes the first blast extremely powerful!"
"Plasma Blast?" Hiccup wondered.
"It's what a Night Furies fire power is called!"
Knowing that there is still hope for Toothless, Hiccup brought the card out and swiped it; after he did, Toothless' chest started to glow. Toothless focused all of his energy as his fire power was returning and then fired all at once at the dragon, making it hit the ground and turn back into a card.
The men started to dash to get their card as Toothless landed, but as Hiccup came up to his friend, Toothless collapsed from exhaustion and turned back into a card.
"I gotcha, Bud!" as Hiccup caught Toothless' card while it was floating in the air.
"Is he okay?" Fishlegs worried for their scaly winged friend.
"Try a swipe!" Ruff suggested.
Hiccup gave it a try, hoping that Toothless would be alright. Toothless came out smaller, laying on the ground exhausted from the fight.
"Toothless?" as Hiccup picked up his friend. Toothless started to blink awake, before he licked Hiccup's face with a smile. Hiccup was relived that the small dragon was okay as he hugged him. "You're okay!"
The men who attacked them finally got their card and the ring leader, Savage wasn't happy at what just happened and that Gobber is helping a bunch of runts!
"Next time, Gobber," He told him, "Next Time both the Strike class dragon and stone will be Alvin's, when we make a few more adjustments to Spiky!"
"The dragons will never be his!" Goober replied, "And no matter how many attempts you try your dragons will never like the real ones. That Whispering Death is no longer a Whispering Death!"
"Gobber who are they?" Hiccup asked, "Who's Alvin, why did you pretend that you know nothing about the stones and cards and why and how do you know them?"
"Were you one of these losers?" Snotlout added.
"I wasn't one of them, Snotlout!" Gobber replied, "They were one of us, before power got to their heads!"
"It doesn't matter who was on which side!" said Savage, "All that matters is that our Whispering Death will be stronger and better than ever the next time we meet!"
Then with that the men high tailed it leaving the gang wondering who they were and what they want? As soon as they were gone, Gobber handed the others their own Dragon Holders, but the twins have to share theirs.
"Why didn't you tell us anything about this, Gobber?" Hiccup asked one more time, "You know far more than you're telling us?"
"I was only keeping my promise, Hiccup!" Gobber replied, showing that he is sorry, "But the stones have chosen you six for a reason and there's nothing I can do to stop the task that is given to you!"
But before anymore questions could be asked, the holders stared to glow and the V-Team started to hear voices calling for help! Things may never be the same for the V-Team, as dragons come into their lives!
