DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING RELATED TO HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

WARNING: This will get graphically detailed as time goes on regarding sex. It is rated M for a reason.

A/N. I really enjoyed writing this chapter. Please leave some reviews and tell me what you think. Don't vomit too much at the Hiccstrid, I'm trying to follow the clumsiness of their love in Race to the Edge...for now ;)

Hiccup and Astrid stared in unison at the face down figure. Slowly and quietly creeping forward. With absolutely no way to defend themselves, surprise would be the best attack. Hiccup walked around the back of the boat looking for some rope while Astrid picked up a large boulder ready to knock out their new visitor should he awaken. When Hiccup found some rope he grabbed the wrists of the man delicately to tie them behind his back. He then tied his ankles together and called for his Night Fury. The man started to stir slightly until Astrid knocked him in the head. Checking for breathing, they picked up the man and tossed him onto Toothless' back. Climbing on Toothless, Astrid climbing on Stormfly, they flew back towards the Dragon Academy. Upon arrival they pulled the man off and tossed him in one of the Dragons stalls, locking it behind them. It was time to go get the other riders.

"How is that even possible?" Snotlout shouted.

"He must be a god. I need to be him! " Tuffnut chimed in.

"If only were you half the man. Oh wait, you are! Half his size!." Ruffnut mockingly said to her brother laughing.

"What do we do?" Fishlegs asked while stepping sideways to avoid the twins bashing habits.

Stoick the Vast flew in on Skullcrusher. Assessing the situation he realized they had someone prisoner. Instead of asking and getting answers he would not approve of he walked straight to the stall, moving his son to the side to reveal the prisoner.

"What is HE doing here? " Stoick's voice thundered waking the prisoner.

*Grunt* "Ouch. Thor almighty I have a pounding headache. Where am I?" Looking around the prisoner suddenly realized who he was looking at. "HICCUP!" He shouted, "You have to save me! Get me out of here."

"Why should I save you ? You SHOULD be dead!" Hiccup shouted back., "How are you even alive?"

"Get me out of here and I'll explain everything."

"We trusted you once before Ryker. We won't be making that mistake twice."

Walking away and signalling the other riders to follow, Stoick lunged at the stall fists ablazing. "I should kill you myself!"

"Yes. You have every reason to really. But you can't. You need me and I you."

"Hiccup, how can you even think about trusting him? You already know he lied to us. He didn't have the Dragon Eye, Viggo did, even though he claimed to have it. He was hurting the Shellfire. He was attacking it Hiccup! Making it spitfire at humans at will."

"I know Astrid. I know. But what choice do we have? We can't keep him locked up here forever. Maybe I'll just go talk to him. See if he'll confess to me how he survived."

"Just be safe. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"I know Astrid. I will be."

Knowing very well what Ryker could do to him he studied Astrid. The way her hair sat on her shoulder extending down past her breast, her figure that had changed from a slight curve to a more defined hourglass. He memorized her lips, plump and pink. His favorite part about her though, were her eyes. Light as the sky, her blue eyes held his gaze as he wrapped his arm tightly around her back slightly above her hips, pulling her in pressing his lips upon hers. Putting his other arm around her landing just slightly lower than his first and slightly on her buttox. His member growing slowly he parted his lips slightly as an invitation to deepen their kiss. He wanted Astrid to know he was hers. She was his only.

Astrid could hardly breathe. Hiccup isn't usually this aggressive. It's like her dreams, her vivid dreams that make her pure only in true form. Is this real life? Is she dreaming? Does he think something is going to happen? She parts her lips and slowly allows her tongue to enter his. Their kiss deepens. She glides her fingers through his hair pulling him in tighter. He wraps his arms around her into almost a tight squeeze. She can feel his member at full salute now. She has to stop this. She has to stay in control. She backed away.

"Did I do something you weren't comfortable with?"

"Not at all Hiccup. It's just, uh, well I think we were getting a bit carried away and that maybe we need to stop before we do something we're not ready for."

Not understanding right away Hiccup stares at her, "Huh? Oh. Oh! Astrid, I'd never allow myself to disrespect you in any way.. I love you too much."

"I know you do, it's jus- wait. What did you say?"

"I said I'd never disrespect you li-"

"No, the other part."

Hiccup grinned and pulled Astrid in close, "The part where I said I love you Astrid Hofferson?"

Smiling from ear to ear at the words singing in her ears, she replied "I love you as well Hiccup Haddock.", and kissed him deeply before punching his arm and sending him on his way.

"Ok Ryker. You have my full attention and mine alone. How did your ship end up on our island?"

"Oh Hiccup, you really don't know much about the Submaripper do you? Ok, I'll let you in on a little secret. The Submaripper and the Shellfire are natural enemies."

"I'm aware. That's not a secret Ryker."

"I hadn't gotten there yet. Where's your patience?"

"It wore thin with your and Viggos games."

"That's unfortunate. You're going to need that for when you help me."

"And why would I help you?"

"Because Hiccup, you need my secrets to defeat what's coming."

Looking sharply at Ryker not sure whether to believe him or not, he figured he'd entertain him for the time being. "Well what's this secret then?"

"The Submaripper spits out shipwrecks like harpoons as a defence. Naturally after he caused the whirlpool, the Shellfire was within attacking range and he spit all the shipwrecks back out, not giving him time to digest properly. We were knocked unconscious as we hit the Shellfire. I was however the only survivor and my ship floated to your island. So that's how I survived."

"Ok and why do you need my help?"

"Because you see, while you and Viggo were having your game of Masons and Talons, there was a real threat to our endeavor which is why Viggo and I didn't see eye to eye. We are dragon hunters, selling at auctions, making money. We have a serious threat among us, an enemy if you will, who is trying to kill the dragons we've captured. I wanted to go after him, but of course I needed you and your riders off my brother and our endeavor which is where we disagreed. Our focus needed to be on this dragon killer. Not on a few kids. So you see, I wasn't truly trying to kill you. Simply trying to get my brothers focus to the right place."

"Why should I trust this information?"

"Because he's after your friend. The Berserker."

"Heather?"

"No, Dagur. While I'm all for letting him kill him, I'm willing to help you save him, but you have to help me too and back off from coming after us."

"And what makes you think I'll do that?"

"Because Hiccup Haddock, if you don't, he'll kill the dragons and you couldn't live with yourself. Could you? Think it over. But you don't have a lot of time. By moon full, he'll be at Berserker island. Ready to kill Dagurs dragon"

Glaring at Ryker, Hiccup turned and walked away ready to tell the other riders about this information, not sure what to do with it himself. Who is this dragon killer? Why is he after Dagur. His talk with Ryker only left more questions. He has to trust his gut.
