Elsa's POV
We had been sailing for a few minutes and I already heard Shadow point out dragon riders heading our way. I sighed and muttered,
"Still the same stubborn Hiccup.." I then looked with my SpyGlass and saw just Hiccup and Astrid. I scratched the back of my head wondering why the entire group wasn't there until It came to me.
"It must be a diversion! Enzo, man the catapults. Sahalla, calculate the trajectory! Shadow and Abdala, protect the eggs in the deck below the surface. I will meet up with you later." i commanded as everyone ran to their positions. I pulled my hood up before Hiccup had a good chance to see my face.
Hiccup's POV
"Come on Astrid, they probably suspect that we aren't alone.." I ordered as we halted not to high above the ship. Everyone seemed to be an outcaster or Berserker. Well Former Outcasts and Berserkers anyway. Except 2 of the vikings. One seemed to be wearing clothing from Berk, while the other seemed to come from the balistic tribe on LongStorm.
"Interesting..." I said as I noted their types into my field guide to report to my dad later.
"What is it Hiccup?" Astrid asked as she faced me on StormFly.
"I'll tell you later.. come on." I replied as we flew a little bit lower to the ship. The girl with the hood yelled at me, telling me to halt or she will shoot.
Enzo's POV
"She isn't afraid to, and neither am I!" I implied while having my hands at the ready to fire the catapult to trap the dragons.
"Hey, we just want answers and then you can be on your way!" the boy said as he showed no signs of weapons. I was about to start going balistic on him when Elsa looked at me and put her hand up telling me no and that she was the one in charge.
"Fine.." I huffed as I stayed in battle position.
Elsa's POV
"What do you want from us?" I asked as I looked at Hiccup with my face shadowed by the hood.
"We just want those dragon eggs that you stole from Dragon Island. Then you can leave." Hiccup replied as he gestured to Shadow and Abdalla, who were hiding out in the below deck of the ship.
"We didn't steal them... we are just borrowing them for a long term process." I replied as I smirked under the shadows of the hood. I then gave Enzo the signal and instead of firing the cannon balls, he fired a massive pouch of Zippleback gas and I threw a lit stick and it blocked the vision of the two riders. I then took hold of the wheel and we started going full speed beyond the borders. All of a sudden, I heard two people land on the deck, One grabbing hold of Enzo, and the other walking up to me. I turned around and faced Hiccup, who had gotten surprised when I ran past him and used stealth moves to get Astrid off of Enzo and we walked towards the stern of the ship. Him and I took out our axes and got into our battle phase positions.
Astrid's POV
"Are you serious? You are actually willing to against two vikings who have fire breathing dragons?" I asked as I faced the hooded girl and the somewhat confused boy.
"Yes, whatever it takes to protect my crew!" the girl replied as she suddenly charged at me. Her and I battled it out using our axes while the boy went after Hiccup.
Hiccup's POV
"Hey, I'm not trying to hurt your crew!" I yelled over the chaos as the boy suddenly put down his axe.
"Enzo what are you doing? Fight!" The girl yelled as she stopped fighting Astrid and took the boy by the hand and protected him.
"E~" the boy was about to say before getting cut off.
"Don't say anything right now." The girl said as she took his axe and attempted to fight us off.
Elsa's POV
I couldn't risk loosing my entire crew to just an old childhood friend. So I decided to try and have them focus their attention on me so Enzo could join the others. All of a sudden, Hiccup and Astrid got on their dragons and went into the clouds.
"They'll be back. For right now, maintain positions until we reach Johaan." I ordered while running to the wheel and steering the ship towards the nearby boat. When we used a bridge to connect our boats, Enzo and I boarded Johaan's ship.
"Hello there Elsa and Enzo. This is quite the surprise." Johaan greeted us while he led us into the center of the ship. I lowered my hood and looked around.
"Any dragon-proof weapons by any chance?" i asked Johaan.
"I'm sorry Elsa, but i have not found the materials. There are some good weapons that can last a long time though, if you're interested." Johaan offered.
"No thanks. But i would like those metal barbs. They are good for defense." I replied as I lifted my hood back up when I heard dragons. I traded quickly and we started sailing.
Hiccup's POV
When we arrived near two ships, both were familiar. One was the girl's ship, the others was Trader Johaan's. The others and I looked at eachother and decided to go interrogate Johaan and get some answers for who that girl is and why she needs dragons. We landed on Johaan's ship to talk to him.
"Ahh Master Hiccup. What a pleasure to see you here!" Johaan said as he gave Hiccup a good hand shake.
"Johaan. We need to talk." I demanded as I took a crate and sat down on it.
"Whatever about?" Johaan asked.
"That girl that you just talked to. Who is she?" I asked as I thought about who it could possibly be.
"I'm sorry Master Hiccup, but I have been sworn to secrecy. She doesn't want anyone findind out her identity." Johaan replied as he seemed pretty confident in his answer.
"Johaan. We have been over this. You are going to tell me. You always do." I deadpanned.
"All I can say is that she is from Berk and her Brother from LongStorm. He seems pretty well established with the girl as if they are family." Johaan replied as he gestured to the ship that was about to go beyond the Archapellago Borders.
"Gang, I think I have a good idea on who we are up against.." I said as we got on our dragons and headed towards the ship.
