Dragon Chronicles: Riders of Berk

By Ragnar the All Knowing

This is Berk and I'm Ragnar the All Knowing. For seven generation, it was Viking against Dragon. The battles were ferocious. Then one day, everything changed. Hiccup met Toothless, and together they shown people here that instead of fighting dragons, we can ride them, live with them, even train them.

In the first year that dragons came to the island was a tough year. While some people believe that life is better since we've made peace with them but dragons are still dragons. While some of the Hairy Hooligans are will to take in the good with the bad. But there are those who will never except the dragons and will do anything to drive them away.

Our tale begins with Hiccup and Toothless landing on top of a tall sea stack, where the Viking teens were waiting with their dragons.

"Okay, guys, Best Trick Competition," Hiccup said, as he turned to his friends. "Who's up first?"

"Me!" Snotlout said, as he stood up on Hookfang and flexed his muscles.

"Actually!" Fishlegs started. "I was hoping-"

"Me!" Snotlout insisted.

"Sweet Baby Thor of Thunder Storm." Astrid groaned at Snotlout. "Go!"

"Oh, don't worry, we'll go." Snotlout said grabbing Hookfang's horns. "And when we go, Hookfang and I are going to light the sky on-FIRE!" Snotlout yelled, as Hookfang flew down the column and started flying.

While Snotlout screamed, Hookfang flew through several different sea stacks and in one of them, Snotlout's helmet almost caught on fire since it sparked against the rocks. Hookfang looked over at Snotlout and smirked before he twirled into the sky and dove back down into the water. Eventually Hookfang returned and landed back on the sea stack.

"I'm alive?" Snotlout realized as he touched himself. "I'm alive!" He cheered, until he saw the looks on everyone's faces. "I mean, of course I am."

"My turn!" Fishlegs grinned. "Ready Meatlug? Here we go!"

Meatlug's wings started flapping, as she and Fishlegs slowly flew in a small circle around the sea stack before they landed back a few seconds later. "Yes! New personal best!" Fishlegs cheered as he leaned down to hug Meatlug, who licked his face.

"My turn!" Ruffnut said.

"No, my turn!" Tuffnut argued.

"Guys same dragon." Hiccup reminded.

"Oh, right." Tuffnut said bumped his sister fist with his. Barf and Belch then flew off the sea stack. "Go left!" Tuffnut exclaimed pulling Belch's head left.

"No, right!" Ruffnut argued pulling Barf's head to the right.

"No, right!" Tuffnut said pulling Belch's head to the right.

"No, left!" Ruffnut argued pulling Barf's head left

As they argued, they crashing into the sea stack and Barf and Belch then began to spin around with Ruffnut and Tuffnut holding on to their horns. Barf and Belch then jerked their heads back, making the twins to fly upwards.

"Oh no!" Tuffnut panicked as they began to fall back down. "This is awesome and scary!"

Barf and Belch grabbed the twins before they placed them back on their necks and flew back on top of the sea stack. "We almost died!" Ruffnut gasped.

"Yeah, I know." Tuffnut agreed, before he and his sister grinned. "Go again?"

"Let me and Skull show you how it's done." Ragnar said. Then Skull took off and they headed straight up into the sky. When they were a few hundred feet they stopped. Ragnar got up and stood on top of Skull's head. "Okay, boy here we go."

Ragnar then jumped and free fall head first. Skull followed closely behind him and once he caught up to him Ragnar grabbed his horns and Skull pulled up just before they hit the water. They then back to the sea stack and flew upwards around it, following the pattern of a screw, before landing back on top.

"So, how did you like that?" Ragnar asked looking at them.

"Not bad, but now it's my turn." Astrid said and glanced over at Hiccup. "You might want to take notes. Let's go!" She smirked, before she and Stormfly took off. "Okay, Stormfly, tail flip!" Astrid commanded, as the tip of Stormfly's tail touched the water. "Now twirl!" She called, as Stormfly started spinning around. "Quick! Upwards spiral!"

Stormfly continued to twirl as she flew up into the sky. "Alright, Stormfly!" Astrid cheered and returned back to the sea stack.

"But, can you do it without the dragon?" Snotlout asked and Astrid responded my punching him in the arm.

"Looks like we got our work cut out for us here bud." Hiccup said, patting Toothless behind the ear and they took off.

Toothless flew up in the air before he flipped over and dove downwards. Just before they hit the water, Hiccup pulled up and Toothless flew straight, water flying behind him. As the two of them flew past several sea stacks, Hiccup disconnected his harness before he jumped on top of a arch and ran across it. Once Hiccup reached the edge, he jumped off before he landed on Toothless' back again.

Everyone cheered as Toothless flew and fired a couple of plasma blasts into the sky. "They're still the best." Astrid stated with a smile.

"What, did you excepted anything less from them?" Ragnar asked.

"Another win." Hiccup smiled at Toothless. "Good job, bud."


Once Hiccup returned to the village he was just to see the dragons running wild. He then saw a woman was fighting with a Terrible Terror over a chicken leg.

"Bad dragon let go of my food." The women said as she was dragged out of her house. The Terrible Terror then pulled the meat off it, leaving the women to hold the leg bone. "Drop it pesky dragon." Then another Terrible Terror grabbed the bone. "DRAGONS"

He then turned to see a man yelling at Deadly Nadder which was standing on his roof. "Get off my roof my roof pest."

He then turned to find a Monstrous Nightmare standing on a cart tugging on a bag off apples with another man on the other end yelling. "Let go of that these are my apples."

He turned around again just in time to see a Deadly Nadder running in a woman's laundry line and taking it with it. "Give me back my laundry dragon." The women yelled.

"In coming!" A man yelled looking up.

Hiccup looked up and saw that a whole herd of dragons were flying overhead. Then without warning they began to poo right over their heads. Every Viking began to run for cover trying to avoid the green burning droppings. Hiccup then bumped into Bucket and Mulch two farms that lost a few limbs in the Dragon War and in Bucket's case a piece of his brain. They were holding shields over their heads like an umbrella.

"Hey, Mulch. Hey, Bucket. Sorry about the-" He said pointed up.

"Every day at three." Bucket said looking at the dragons. "They're regular. A tip of the cap."

"Better in the days when it was killed or be killed." Mulch said. He turned and looked at Hiccup and pointed his hook at him. "Hey, we've got some fish for that father of yours." He turned to look at Bucket. "Bucket, give the boy the cod."

Bucket then pulled out a torn bag. Once he noticed that the fish was gone he looked confused. "I ate it already? Did I enjoy it?" He asked.

"Uh, no actually Bucket I'm afraid that the, uh…" Hiccup said pointing.

They looked around and saw a Terrible Terror dragging it away. Once the Terrible Terror dragged the fish to the side of a house where two more Terrible Terrors followed it.


The next morning Stoick was giving his daily instructions to the village with Gobber by his side. Today they were ready to store food in the main storage house.

"Stoick!" Mildew yelled carrying his pet sheep Fungus.

Mildew is an old farmer and in his day was a great dragon slayer. Mildew was also known as Mildew the Unpleasant and hated dragons more than any Hairy Hooligans on the whole island.

"Here's Mildew with the complaint of the day." Goober said.

"You picked a bad time Mildew. I'm in the middle of storing food, the freeze is coming." Stoick said.

"It's the dragons again." Mildew said. At the side of the storage house Hiccup and Ragnar alone with their dragons watched from a far. "Those dreams aren't fit to live alone civilised men."

"Neither are you Mildew. Why do you think we built your house so far outside of town?" Gobber joked.

"Oh, very well make your jokes." Mildew said moving closer to the two of them. "Meanwhile these dragons are eating your village corn, tearing people's house into piles of rubble." Mildew said pointing at all the damage the dragons have done.

"Mildew is right." A man said.

"They even disturb an old man's rest." Mildew said as many of the Vikings walked up to them and began to complain as well. "Can't you see the bags under my eyes?" Mildew asked turning to face the two of them and pulled his eye lid down.

"He's right, he's hideous." Gobber said.

"These are wild and unpredictable beasts!" Mildew said as he tapped his staff on Bucket's head. "They even cracked this man's skull like an egg."

"Eggs? I love eggs! Scrambled, over-easy, poached!" Bucket said

Mildew then turned to face Stoick. "You need to put those dragons in cages. If ya don't, they'll eat us out of house and home, and destroy the entire village!"

The crowd that had gathered was yelling in agreement and anger. "I don't like where this is going." Ragnar whispered to Hiccup

"They don't mean any harm." Hiccup said as both he and Ragnar, stepping up with Toothless and Skull at his side. "They're just dragons being dragons."

Stoick placed a hand on Hiccup's shoulder and stepped up. "Look, Mildew, if there's a problem, I'll deal with it." Stoick said.

"Oh, there's a problem, Stoick. And I think I speak for the entire village when I say that you'd better do something about it." Mildew said as he walked away.


Later that night at the Haddock house Stoick was pacing up and down try to think of an idea, while Gobber was sitting at a table carving out duck from wood. At a corner Hiccup, Toothless and Ragnar were sitting around listening.

"We can't just let dragons run around like they own the place," Stoick muttered. Then he seemed to get an idea. "We… we could put up signs!"

"Signs, for dragons?" Gobber said skeptically.

"No! For the people." Stoick explained.

"Signs, for Vikings? We're not big readers Stoick." Gobber said skeptically.

"Then we'll build a huge net and stretch it around the plaza." Stoick said impatiently.

"Nets? You do know that they breathe fire, right?" Gobber reminded.

"I know very well they breathe fire Gobber." Stoick said getting annoyed. Stoick was now on verge of giving up. "Maybe Mildew was right." He sighed throwing a chair to the floor.

"Wait, dad." Hiccup said picking the chair up. "What if I'll deal with the dragons?"

"You?" Stoick asked in disbelief.

"Who else?" Hiccup replied, as Toothless walked over. "If anyone can get the dragons under control, I can. I'm the best man for the job." He said as he scratched Toothless under the chin.

"You're not a man yet, Hiccup." Stoick said bluntly.

"Not if you don't give me the chance to be!" Hiccup response. Stoick looked at Gobber who nodded.

"Fair enough, you'll have your chance, starting tomorrow." Stoick said.

"I hope you know what you're doing Hiccup." Ragnar said.

"Don't worry this is me were talking about." Hiccup said proudly.

"That why I said it." Ragnar said.


The next day Hiccup and Toothless entered into the town where dragons were running wild.

"Alright gang." Hiccup said with confidence. "There's going to be a few changes around here."

"Get out." A woman said to a Deadly Nadder which was trying to get at the bread. "For the last time get your nose out of my bread." The women then ran back into her house.

"Hold on I'll help you," Hiccup said. He ran to the Deadly Nadder which then looked at him. Hiccup then slowly placed his hand on its snout. "Oh, right."

Then a flock of chickens suddenly appeared from nowhere and startled the Deadly Nadder, who went off to chase them. Hiccup quickly spotted the source of the problem; it was a Gronckle tearing its way through the village looking for food.

Hiccup heard a noise and looked up to see a Monstrous Nightmare and a Deadly Nadder fighting each other in front of the barn. Then several sheep on fire ran down the hills in terror.

"Toothless! Stop that fight. I'll put out the sheep." Hiccup said.

Hiccup began to chase the sheep around and around the village. At that moment he saw Vikings and Dragons running all over the place coursing even more trouble.

On the catapult all the Viking teens were catching Hiccup trying to stop the dragons.

"What is he doing?" Snotlout asked.

"I think he's helping the dragons break stuff." Tuffnut said uncertainly.

"Cool!" Ruffnut smirked.

Hiccup was running holding a bucket of water towards a burning sheep. However the sheep ran right over him and kept on running.

"Wow, he could really use our help." Astrid said looking down at the chaos.

"I did ask him if he need a hand." Ragnar said. He then did impression of Hiccup. "'Oh no, Rag I can do this by myself no need for you to help.'"

"Wait, you mean that Hiccup didn't ask for help from his best friend that can see into the future?" Astrid said.

"Pretty much and I can tell you, things are only going to get harder from here." Ragnar said.

"How could it get any worse?" Fishlegs asked.

"You'll find out in about a minute." Ragnar said looking at the sun.

Hiccup had finally managed to put the sheep out with a bucket of water.

"Sorry about that." Hiccup said. He was so busy he didn't notice the dragons flying overhead.

"And… it's three o'clock." Astrid said looking up.

"That's how things could get worse." Ragnar said looking away.

Hiccup looked up just in time as a dripping was heading straight towards him. "Oh, no."


Later that night Hiccup was in his room with Toothless watching as Ragnar tendered to him.

"Oh, everything hurts." Hiccup complained as Ragnar packed up his stuff. "Even this." He said holding up his prosthetic leg.

"You probably won't have been this banged up if you let me help you." Ragnar muttered to himself.

"Of rub it in why don't you." Hiccup said sarcastically.

"No thanks, I've already rubbed you enough with herb juice." Ragnar said showing an empty glass of herb juice.

"Hiccup?" Astrid's voice called from downstairs.

"Astrid?" Hiccup replied. Hiccup then got up and began to dust himself off. "Perfect!" He muttered.

"I don't look too beat up, do I guys?" He asked looking at Ragnar and Toothless. The both of them made a faces at him; the one that got his attention more was Toothless'.

"Oh, great. Dragon pity." Hiccup muttered. He then turned when he heard the sound of footsteps. "Oh hey, Astrid! What a nice surprise!" He said with false delight.

"So, how was your day?" Astrid asked.

"Oh, uneventful. Hung around the plaza… you know." Hiccup said.

"Yeah, I do know." Astrid said in a knowing voice. "We saw you out there." She picked a piece of rubble off of Hiccup's "It's hard to believe you're still standing."

Hiccup then threw himself backwards on the bed with a huge groan. "I'm going to be seeing smoking sheep in my dreams for the next month." He said exhaustedly.

"HICCUP!" Stoick's voice called, followed by heavy footsteps. "What's going on out there?" he asked when he had entered. "The plaza looks like a war zone!"

"I know this looks bad…" Hiccup began.

"Really bad." Astrid whispered.

"Really, really bad." Ragnar whispered.

"But this is only, uh, Phase One of my… master plan." Hiccup continued.

"Oh, so you do have a plan." Stoick asked.

"I do, of course I do." He said in false voice. "It's very… complex, with lots of drawings and, um, several large, moving parts… Yeah, it's, uh, pretty wild."

"Huh, this had better be real, because Mildew has stirred up the whole island. If you don't get these dragons under control, they'll be calling for their heads." Stoick said as he walked away.

"Don't worry bud," Hiccup said rubbing the side of his neck. "Your head is not going anywhere."

"I can vouch that, if my visions are true." Ragnar said

"You do realise that there are like a bazillion dragons out there and only one of you?" Astrid said brushed her hair out of her face. "I hope you really do have a plan."

"As do I." Ragnar said.


The next morning Hiccup lead all the teens and their dragons to the arena.

"That's your plan." Ruffnut said looking around. "Train dragons."

"Here? Where we used to kill them?" Tuffnut added.

"Right, because we don't do that anymore." Hiccup said as he placed a basket of fish in front of Toothless. "That's why it's available."

"Actually, the dragons do seem a little nervous." Astrid said patting Stormfly.

"That's because they're very sensitive." Fishlegs said as he stroked Meatlug. "Meatlug, especially. She lost a cousin here. We try not to talk about it."

"Well if we don't do something the Dragon War will start all over again." Ragnar said.

"It's amazing that your dad just gave you the arena." Astrid said walking towards Hiccup.

"Yeah, it totally would be... if he did, but he didn't, so that's another thing we should try not to talk about." Hiccup said.

"Wait, so we're going behind your father's back?" Astrid said.

"There you go, talking about it. Besides last time it went pretty well." Hiccup said.

"Last time your father disowned you and led the entire village to their deaths." Ragnar reminded.

"Alright, everybody, here's the thing." Hiccup said charging the subject. "The dragons are out of control. We want them to live in our world without destroying it, but they can't without our help. They've been blowing things up in the village. We've got to do something about it."

"Got it, help dragons blow things up." Tuffnut said as he grinned at his sister. "We can totally do that."

"No, I believe I said-" Hiccup started.

"Here's how we're going to do it." Ruffnut interrupted. "First, we make them really, really angry."

"No problem." Tuffnut said clenched his fist and smirked. "We anger everybody."

"Guys, this is serious. Mildew wants our dragons caged. I don't know about you, but that's not okay with me." Hiccup said.

"And who to say he'll just stop at caging them." Ragnar said walking up. "In by visions I've seen Mildew trying to kick them off the island and worse."

"You're right." Tuffnut said, before pointing at his sister. "She's sorry."

"Okay then, next problem. The dragons are eating everything in sight." Hiccup said as he grabbed a loaf of bread and Toothless licked his lips. "Now, when a dragon grabs something it's not supposed to have." Toothless then grabbed the loaf of bread. "You can get them to drop it by giving it a scratch just below the chin." Hiccup said, as he scratched underneath Toothless' chin, and he released the bread.

Snotlout just snorted as he grabbed the bread. "That may work for you and Toothless, but Hookfang and me, we do things a little differently." He said with a grin as he threw the bread into Hookfang's mouth. "When I want this big boy to do something, I get right up in his face, and say 'DROP THAT RIGHT NOW'!" Snotlout yelled at Hookfang. "YOU HEAR ME?!"

Hookfang dropped the bread but grabbed Snotlout instead and shook him around. "See?" Snotlout's muffled voice was heard. "He dropped it."

"Should we help him?" Tuffnut asked.

"Yeah, in a minute." Astrid said.

"Alright, we've got a lot of training to do." Hiccup said, getting everyone's attention. "But together, we can keep these dragons under control."

As everyone got to work, Snotlout was still stuck in Hookfang's mouth. "Uh, can someone do that chin scratchy thing?" Snotlout asked. "Hello? You guys still there?"


Later that day the Viking teens walked into the village, which was surprisingly quiet.

"Huh, no dragons." Fishlegs said.

"That was easy." Ruffnut shrugged.

"Lunch?" Snotlout suggested.

"That's weird." Hiccup mumbled. "If the dragons aren't here, where are they?"

Suddenly, everyone heard an explosion, along with a woman's scream. "Something tells me that way," Astrid said, as she placed her hands on her hips. They all ran over to where the explosion came from and saw that all the dragons were attacking the main storage house. "Stormfly?"

"Hookfang?" Snotlout said, as they saw their dragons lifted up their heads from the empty baskets of fish.

Hiccup and Ragnar ran inside the storage house, which was destroyed and empty. "They've eaten everything!" Stoick exclaimed, as he threw one of the columns on the ground. "We've got nothing left for the freeze!"

"I warned you, Stoick, but did you listen to me? No, you put a bunch of teenagers in charge." Mildew said, as the Viking teens glared at him. "And look at what the dragons have done! Caging is too good for those beasts!"

"Dad, I swear I can fix this. We were just starting to-" Hiccup started.

"Enough, Hiccup." Stoick said. "How can I trust you to control all the dragons when you couldn't even control your own?" He asked, gesturing to Toothless, whose head was inside a basket full of fish.

Hiccup let out a sigh. "Oh, Toothless." He groaned.

Stoick then entered the destroyed storage house. "Bucket, Mulch, man the boats we need another catch." Stoick said throwing some empty baskets at them.

"It's too late Stoick, it took us six months to catch all of that fish." Mulch said.

"Not tell me it's too late, we've got to try." Stoick yelled.

"Of course we do, don't tell the chief it's too late." Mulch said pulling Bucket down to ear level with his hook. "You're always so negative."

"I don't know what it is with me." Bucket said.

"Dad, please you got to listen to me." Hiccup said as Stoick walked out of the storage house with some empty baskets over his shoulders. "I know dragons better than-"

"Not now, Hiccup, I have a village to feed." Stoick said shaking his head, as he placed several baskets on a wheelbarrow. "The dragons caused enough damage. By tonight, I want every one of them caged. Understand?"

"You can't just cage these dragons." Mildew scoffed. "You need to send them away now!"

Several of the Vikings yelled agreeing with Mildew. "You're right, Mildew." Stoick sighed. "We'll cage them tonight, and in the morning, Hiccup will send them off the island. I'm sorry, son."


Later that evening, the Viking teens were eating dinner at Great Hall. They were all upset that they had to say goodbye to their dragons.

"I can't believe we just have to send them away." Snotlout complained.

"Things are just going to be weird." Astrid frowned, as the cream in her soup formed the image of a dragon in her mind. "I got used to Stormfly's face being the first thing I see every morning."

"I know what you mean." Ragnar said sighed looking at a craved dragon bone in his hand. "I've enjoyed craving Skull's armour every day."

"Every night before I went to sleep, Meatlug would lick my feet." Fishlegs added, before flopping on the table. "Who's going to do it now?"

"I volunteer Tuffnut!" Ruffnut said.

"Whatever!" Tuffnut said. "What time should I be there?"

"Come on, guys." Astrid sighed as she stood up. "Let's get this over with."

"This is the worst day of my life." Fishlegs said as he and the other Viking teens walked away, leaving Hiccup and Ragnar behind. "We're never going to see are dragons again."

"What we going to do know?" Ragnar said looking at Hiccup.

"We can't let that happen." Hiccup said as he patted Toothless on the head. "Toothless is the best friend I've ever had," Hiccup then saw the look on Ragnar's face. "I main the best dragon friend I've ever had."

"Toothless, I'll miss you so much." Mildew said sarcastically, as he walked over and Toothless growled at him, before he looked down at Hiccup and Ragnar. "You know what your mistake was? Thinking dragons could be trained! A dragon going to do what a dragon going to do. It's their nature, and nature always wins."

Once Mildew walked away, the wind from outside blew out the fire in the hall, so Toothless fired a pulse blast at the fire place and lit up the room again.

"Oh, thank you Toothless." A female Viking said

"You know what." Hiccup said, an idea forming in his mind. "Mildew is absolutely right!"

"Wait, did you just agreed with Mildew?" Ragnar asked confused.

"Sort of, I'll explain everything on the way. Just follow me." Hiccup said as he started running out of the hall.


Meanwhile the other Viking teens arrived at the arena.

"I'm sorry Stormfly. Now go!" Astrid said pointing towards the arena. Then slowly their dragons walked over to the arena.

"It feels like big sharp teeth are ripping this thing in my chest." Snotlout said, placing his hand over his chest.

"That's what it feels like when your heart is breaking." Astrid said.

"I don't have a heart! I'm not a girl." Snotlout said.

The Vikings teens held back their tears, as they watched the gate of the arena about to close with their dragons on the inside. "Don't close it!" Hiccup yelled, as he and Ragnar rode in on Toothless and Skull.

Hiccup and Ragnar jumped off their dragons and Hiccup ran over to the gate switch and pushed it back, reopening the gate. "We're not locking them up." Hiccup said facing them.

"What happened?" Astrid asked, as a hopeful smile appeared on her face. "Did you change your father's mind... or are we going behind his back again?" She asked, her smile disappearing as she.

"Uh... one of those." Hiccup answered, as the dragons stepped out of the arena. "Look, the dragons are going to do what they're going to do. It's their nature. We just need to learn how to use it."


The next day, Bucket and Mulch were on a boat trying to catch some fish.

"It's empty again." Mulch realized, looking down at the empty fishing net they pulled out of the water.

"Did I eat them already?" Bucket asked, sounding clueless. "Did I enjoy it? Am I being too negative?"

At that moment, Hiccup and Snotlout rode over to the ocean. "Snotlout, scare up some fish." Hiccup instructed before flying away on Toothless.

Snotlout nodded and to a deep breath, as Hookfang dove into the water and chased some fish into the fishing net. "Hey, thanks, dragons!" Mulch called once Hookfang resurfaced.

"That's right!" Snotlout cheered as he flew off on Hookfang. "That just happened!"

Back with Hiccup, he, Astrid, and Fishlegs flew over to the mountains to Mildew's fields. "Afternoon, Mildew!" Astrid greeted before Stormfly dropped on the soil and continued flying on the dirt, creating marks in the ground with her tail spikes.

"Three o'clock!" Hiccup called. "It's time for the fertilizer."

"Fertilizer?" Mildew repeated, as he turned around to see Fishlegs and Meatlug leading several dragons over.

"Okay, Meatlug, let a rip." Fishlegs told Meatlug.

Mildew stepped back as the dragon dropped their dropping onto his crops. "Smile, Mildew!" Hiccup told the old man. "We just saved you three months of work." He said before flying off on Toothless.

In the forest, Ragnar and the twins were chasing the hogs out. As the hogs ran onto the fields, Toothless flew over and shot a pulse blast that made the hogs turn and run the other way. It wasn't long until the hogs were chased back into the barn, and the Viking teens returned to the village with their dragons.

"That was awesome!" Fishlegs grinned.

Astrid looked up at Hiccup as he landed. "How did you know that was going to work?"

"Because they're dragons, and they're going to do what dragons do," Hiccup explained as he climbed off Toothless. "We just have to learn to work with them and not against them. You know who we should actually be thanking, though?"

"Speaking of which." Ragnar said pointing.

They looked around and saw Mildew walked over with Stoick. "There they are Stoick. Those dragons don't look like they're in cages to me." Mildew said.

"No," Stoick said and he glanced down at his son. "This is not what I asked for."


Moments later they were all in the arena being watch by several Vikings. Stoick then walked inside with Gobber by his side. The Viking teens were in the centre of the arena seeming worried.

"Oh no, what's Stoick going to do to us?" Fishlegs said panicking.

"I'm too pretty for jail." Ruffnut said.

"Where'd you hear that from?" Tuffnut scoffed.

"You all disobeyed my orders." Stoick said with a glare. "And there will be consequences."

"I told you," Astrid whispered to Hiccup before letting out a frustrated sigh. "You never listen to me."

"He hardly listens to anybody it runs in the family." Ragnar said.

Hiccup stepped forward. "Dad, if anyone's going to get in trouble, it should be me."

"No, you all had a hand in it." Stoick said.

Looking down on them were Mildew and his pet sheep Fungus grinning. "Oh, this is going to be great Fungus, it's about to get ugly."

"You took over this place without asking, you release the dragons against my wishes." Stoick said looking down at all of them. "Things are going to change around here. That's why-"

"You're getting a Dragon Training Academy!" Gobber announced.

As everyone outside gasped, Stoick turned to Gobber. "Gobber!" Stoick scolded. "I wanted to tell them!"

"I'm sorry, you're right." Gobber apologized, as the Viking teens let out sighs of relief. "Go ahead."

"Well you told most of it!" Stoick grumbled.

"You can tell him the part about how proud you are of him!" Gobber advised.

"Gobber!" Stoick snapped before facing the Viking teens again. "Hiccup, well, what he said. You have all made me proud." He said, as he walked to one of the gates. "This academy is for you." Stoick told them, before he opened the gate to release the dragons.

Instantly, the Viking teens ran over to their dragons and hugged them. Mildew was the only one not happy about this. He looked down and growled. "I'll get those dragons yet." He said and walked away.

"Now all you have to do is train them." Stoick said.

"Not a problem, dad," Hiccup said, as he petted Toothless. "After all, I've got him." Then he heard Astrid clear her throat and stand next to the others. "And them too."


That night everyone spent their time doing what they like doing with their dragons.

Hiccup in his room and had just finished drawing an image of him and his friends with their dragons, just as Toothless jumped onto a platform on the ground and laid down on it, getting ready to fall asleep.

Ragnar was outside the forge next to Skull, craving a bone with a knife. Once he finished it he pleased on Skull's body and once he did Skull licked him, making him laugh.

Fishlegs was in his bed half asleep in bed, giggling to himself as Meatlug licked his feet.

The next morning, Stormfly's head stuck out of Astrid's window as Astrid woke up and smiled at seeing her.

Later during the day, Snotlout and Fishlegs were on their dragons hanged a symbol for the new Dragon Training Academy which was an image of a Night Fury with one of its tail fins red, at the arena.

"The Berk Dragon Academy." Astrid smiled as she glanced over at Hiccup and punched him in the arm. "I like the sound of that."

Dragons can't change who they are, but who would want them too? Dragons are powerful, amazing creatures, and for as long as it takes, I know that Hiccup will learn everything there is to know about them the question is wouldn't you?
