Alright, enjoy the story. Remember- READ REVIEW AND FOLLOW! 3

A blast of lightning struck towards them as Toothless dived, spinning sharply to the left before pulling upward at a nearly vertical angle. They barely managed to avoid the blast before another strike of electricity shot past them.

"Have you ever heard of a dragon that shoots lightning from it's mouth?" Hiccup called into his best friend's ear as they spiraled downward. A short growl echoed in Toothless's throat. Hiccup nodded, "Yeah, me neither."

The two dragons swirled together, fighting in a deadly dance of claws and teeth, before breaking away again.

Valka rushed from the splintered remains of her house and watched the fight with fear. Where was CloudJumper? They had to help! They had to help her son!

But when she glanced around, she found her answer.

CloudJumper was there, with all his massive might, but he was too preoccupied to help. Beneath his claw was a confused but calm Nadder, and clamped in his teeth was the collar of a shirt. In the shirt dangled a tiny blonde with swinging angry fists.

"CloudJumper, let me go! I swear I will pull out each and every one of your teeth if you do not release me this instant! I will make you pay! YOU WILL PAY!" Astrid's eyes turned frantic as Toothless released a roar into the sky. "Hiccup! HICCUP! Oh my Gods, HICCUP!" She turned her eyes to CloudJumper again, though now they burned with tears instead of anger. "Please, CloudJumper! Please! Let me go! I have to help him! What if he gets hurt? I have to help him. Please. Let me go." Her head fell in defeat.

Her cries fell on deaf ears- CloudJumper did not look persuaded in the slightest.

Valka exhaled a shaky breath and ran towards her dragon. "CloudJumper!" Astrid's head snapped up, hope in her eyes. "Let tha Nadder go."

"WHAT?! Let the NADDER GO?! The NADDER?!" Astrid cried as the massive dragon lifted his claw from the smaller one beneath him. "Valka, what are you DOING?!"

The older women jumped on the Nadder's back and took to the sky, not bothering to answer the girl.

In this fight, she sided with CloudJumper. Keep the girl safe.

Valka took to the air like a fish to water, and dove towards their new foe with relentless fury. She swooped under her son's Night Fury and into the green beast, shooting the Nadder's tail-darts into it's unprotected underside. The creature roared and swerved, diving down towards it's new attacker. In this moment of distraction, Toothless charged, gripping into the enemy's neck, twisting, and then diving in order to force the green dragon to the ground.

With a powerful pounce and steady footing, Toothless pinned the green dragon into the muddy earth. Valka jumped from the Nadder's back and grabbed a length of rope from it's saddle, using it to hogtie and subdue the attacker.

With shaking hands, she turned to her son, examining him for any sign or injury.

The boy rolled his eyes. "I'm fine. Really."

"Hiccup!" cried Astrid's voice, and when they looked up, they saw her running towards them, clad up top in only a bra.

"Uhhhhh," Hiccup stuttered as his face grew red. "You're not wearing a shirt."

Paces behind her followed CloudJumper, the tattered remains of Astrid's top still tangled in his teeth. With the enemy contained, he didn't seem particularly bothered that his hostage had escaped. He plopped down in the grass and began using his tongue to try and dislodge the cloth from his mouth.

"I had to escape your mom's crazy dragon somehow!"

"Escape?" Hiccup scrunched up his nose. "Why?"

"I don't freaking know!"

Hiccup turned to his mother, the unspoken question clear in his slight scowl.

Valka sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "He was jus' tryin' te protect ye," she said, looking to Astrid.

"I don't need to be protected!" the girl shouted. "What I need is to-"

And then her face grew pale, and she vomited into the grass.
