Thank you Zharlee, Yonna9queen, and Sanasuke! You guys are awesome! And thank you for reviewing. Guest, it's probably more HiccupXAstrid, sorry if that's a disappointment. ladipretender, I'm glad you haven't seen this concept before. I thought others had it too. XD. The Era Thief, I was so glad to read that. I'll finish this, no worries. It's just not going to be as fast as my other HTTYD story right now. I'm sorry. Now, onto the story!

Hiccup and Toothless arrived at the Academy, where the others already were. Astrid was calmly waiting next to Stormfly, with Fishlegs nervously hoping around as Meatlug watched. Snotlout sat on Hookfang, and they both watched the twins, Ruff and Tuff fighting as Barf and Belch tried to separate them. As the teen arrived, Astrid turned her attention to him. "Hiccup, Dagur is here, and he isn't alone." she said. Hiccup nodded.

"Yeah, I know. He wants us to help him attack a place called DunBrach or something. He wants Berk to use our dragons!" he said, expecting them to be horrified. To his surprise, they didn't seem to be in the same state as him. The twins and Snotlout looked excited! Astrid was mildly surprised, and Fishlegs looked just as nervous.

"Alright, something we're supposed to destroy!" Ruffnut said excitedly.

"You said it sister!" Tuffnut agreed. Snotlout smirked.

"Ahh, whatever you two. The one's to get the glory will be me and Hookfang!" Snotlout said with pride. To show his agreement, Hookfang lit up his body, making the teen scream, jumping into water to cool down. Astrid shook her head.

"Do you think we'll all have to participate? I'd rather not." Fishlegs said.

"I suppose the Chief is trying to make peace by agreeing to this." Astrid mused. Hiccup was stunned.

"Guys, they want us to attack people with our dragons." Hiccup emphasized, wondering if maybe they just hadn't understood what he was saying.

"Yeah, we heard you the first time! And people say I'm stupid!" Snotlout said, climbing out of the water trough. Hiccup looked at them all in frustration.

"Hiccup, what's wrong?" Astrid asked. He felt his anger swell up.

"What's wrong?! The Berserkers and Meatheads want us to help them attack a place with our dragons!" he said in frustration. She nodded for him to continue. "Astrid, the dragons don't like fighting anymore than we do! We didn't make peace with the dragons only to use them as weapons! And even more importantly, the people of this kingdom probably don't know anything about dragons. If the first dragons they see are attacking them unprovoked, then they'll want to kill every dragon they see. Astrid, we just got out of three hundred years of war, are we really going to push that onto someone else?!" he asked in frustration. Astrid frowned.

"I understand your point Hiccup, but if this is what your Dad thinks is best for Berk, then that's the decision he's going to make. If he doesn't agree to this, then it'll be war with the Berserkers and the Meatheads. He's just looking out for us." Astrid said. Hiccup knew that, he knew his father wouldn't go out to attack others without a reason, and his father always put Berk first, but he couldn't bring himself to be the one who led to more people hating dragons. He hated the idea of fearing things you don't understand! He pulled away from her and went back to Toothless, deciding to go fly around for a while. He couldn't believe the others were alright with this. Then again, they were vikings, they fought. If they weren't fighting something, then they would fight each other. That didn't excuse it though.

Hiccup didn't know how long they had been flying, but it was dark before they got home. He opened the door as softly as he could, seeing his Dad waiting up by the fire. He tried to go up the steps silently, but the metal on his leg clinked loudly on the step, and Stoick turned to see him and the dragon. "Hiccup, your home!" he said, sounding relieved. He probably figured Hiccup would head off again to Dragon's Edge. Hiccup nodded. "Listen son, I want to you remember that a Chief must do what is best for his people. Deciding to make peace with Dagur was not an easy decision, and if it had been just him, I would have tried to fight him off. But the Meatheads are a long time ally of ours, and they are powerful as well. I know you don't agree with this, but that is the way it is." he said. Hiccup looked at his father, so many things he had to say, but he knew there wasn't a point. Stoick's mind was made up, and there was nothing he could do to change that. He just nodded and his dad smiled, realizing Hiccup wasn't going to argue with him on this. He did have a point though. A Chief does what is best for his people, so a dragon rider should do what is best for his allies. Hiccup and Toothless went upstairs and Hiccup began packing.

"I'm sorry dad, but I can't just let this happen. I'm going to try and stop it." Hiccup said softly, as he grabbed everything he needed for a long trip. Now all he needed was a heading. He assumed it wouldn't be too hard to steal that from Dagur, after all he had stolen a lot of things from Dagur. As Hiccup finished packing all the stuff he needed, and stuffing it into Toothless' saddlebags, they headed back outside. They were almost near the docks when a hand came down on his shoulder. Jumping, Hiccup turned to see Thuggory standing behind him.

"Where are you going Hiccup?" he asked, but the look on his face said he already knew. Hiccup began to panic, Thuggory was one of the last people Hiccup wanted to see. Unlike most Chief's sons that came to visit Berk, Thuggory was never mean to Hiccup. He was actually nicer than most teens on Berk were to him when they were kids. He always liked the older male, and Thuggory seemed to have a level of respect for Hiccups intelligence and ingenuity. However, he was also the son of the Chief of the Meathead tribe, and that meant he was one of the leaders of this attack. He couldn't tell him what he was doing, as Thuggory would go tell his father, then what little alliance that appeared to have formed would be over, with Berk at a huge disadvantage!

"I...I don't know what your talking about. I'm just going for a flight around the island." Hiccup said quickly, but Thuggory was smirking.

"How are you planning on getting there?" Thuggory asked. Hiccup blinked.

"Huh?" he asked.

"DunBroch. How are you planning on getting there?" Thuggory asked. Hiccup's eyes went wide. He knew!

"I'm not...going to DunBroch, what ever...would give you that idea?" Hiccup asked quickly. Thuggory shook his head.

"You never change do you?" he asked, amused.

"Nope." agreed Astrid, as her, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut came out from around a nearby home, all their dragons behind them, as well as Mulch's (1) dragon, a silver Monstrous Nightmare named Killer.

"What is going on?" Hiccup asked, confused.

"We know your going to DunBroch, and we also know we can't stop you. But you can't go alone." Astrid said with a smile.

"And if you want to get there, you have to take me too! I know the way." Thuggory said proudly. Hiccup was really confused now.

"What? No, you guys can't come, they'll notice you! And Thuggory, your dad would kill us all!" Hiccup said quickly.

"Look Hiccup, I don't like the idea of this much more than you do. My father doesn't even wish to be in this battle. He knows that Dagur's armada is stronger though. If we can get to DunBroch, maybe they'd be willing to help us, and we can end Dagur's threat permanently." he said. Hiccup thought for a second, the man made a good point.

"And anyway Hiccup, they'll notice your gone long before us. If you and Thuggory disappear, then Dagur will know exactly what is going on. We might as well join you." Astrid said. Hiccup sighed in defeat. He lost this round.

"Fine, whatever, but why is Killer here?" he asked. Astrid looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Thuggory needs a dragon to ride too." she said. Hiccup put a hand over his face.

"Alright, let's just go." he agreed.
