Risu-Chan I have not read it, because I'm pretty sure you'd have to either buy it or download it from somewhere, but I have read the whole story summary of it; I can't find it again, but I did google it. If you really want to read it, I know you can purchase it off of or ebay. (And I saw your review on Consequences and I don't have a facebook account so I couldn't inform you when I posted my new story. I see though that you found it, so yea!)

Other than that, thanks for the continuing views and reviews; I appreciate the complements of my story, thank you.

(I know, I've disappeared for like a week, but I'm back with more to write.) (and yes, it's Dagur the Deranged.)

With each step taken, his prosthetic clicked against his weight. Hiccup sighed as they continued on, still no sign of his friends. Hiccup tilt his head up, to the side and then back down in front of him; eye brows scrunch in dissatisfaction. He veered around to Toothless who made a noise of question.

*sighs*"They've got to be around here somewhere, bud; I just don't know where." He said silently while petting Toothless. He grunted a little and held his side, the wound still slightly bleeding. Unfortunately, when he pulled his hand away, some blood was present and refused to come off when wiped against the grass beneath. Hiccup moaned and rubbed his fingers together to see if the blood would rub off, but the stain remained.

Suddenly, Toothless' ear twitched and he became alert at a noise off in the distance. He wiped his head in that direction and narrowed his eyes. He sniffed the air and his eyes widened at the familiar stench.

Toothless wondered around, sniffing the ground to the scent of his little Hiccup. He bobbed through the trees, weaving in and out of the large sequoias and moving around the fallen ones. He stopped suddenly and lifted his head up smelling the air. The scent of salt water hit his nostrils, but that wasn't what he was alerted to. His Hiccup was close by and Toothless picked up the pace; first at a jog, then at a full sprint. He jumped out of the brush and down to the edge of the beach towards the shore line. Rocks made their homes on the beach, providing shelter for the red dwellers with big claws. These crabs scattered when Toothless came by and disappeared into their homes. Hiccup lay on his back, one hand gently resting on his stomach, in between two rocks. The tide came up to the souls of his boots—and prosthetic. His eyes were closed and his face looked slightly pale; blood was present on his side as some of the speckles beneath him got a new dye color. Toothless nudged him; failing to wake him, he tried again. Yet unsuccessful, Toothless still bumped Hiccup, hoping to wake the boy. Sound off in the distance caught his attention as he lifted his head and peered out to sea. A ship wasn't far off from the island, but Toothless began to growl nonetheless. He recognized that ship, it was a Berserker ship and he remembered the nervousness his little Hiccup had when they came over for a visit. Toothless could sense Hiccup's fears, not only for himself, but for the dragons.

Suddenly, the ship began to turn towards the shore and started to gain speed. Toothless grabbed a hold of Hiccup's shirt collar and lifted him up so that he was dangling from his jaw like a cub from a mother lions'. He gently trotted away, to the safety and cover of the forest trees.

That smell was back, and it was getting close. Hiccup wasn't paying any attention as he was trying to get the red tarnish off. Toothless nudged him and almost knocked him over, receiving a glare from his rider.

"Toothless, wha—"Toothless roared silently in protest and once again nudged Hiccup to move; this time knocking him over. Hiccup stood up and looked questioningly at Toothless' antics. Toothless pushed him forward once more, using his head to do so. Hiccup was about to shove Toothless away and tell him to stop when he heard snaps and whispers in the brush not too far away. Hiccup immediately realized the situation and mouthed the word 'oh', turning and jogging away with Toothless right at his side. The sequoias were huge and provided much needed cover for the two, but Hiccup still worried that whoever it was, must of heard him or very much seen them. They ran out into a meadow, the last place Hiccup wanted to be; but saw the field had a bonus—boulders. He and Toothless ran up to them, Hiccup having to slow after awhile due to his wound, and quickly slid behind one breathing in deep breaths. Hiccup focused his hearing for the followers and in doing so began to stare down at the ground. It was black, like a recent river of lava flowed through here and dried completely. Little sprouts of grass grew through, but the most of it was weeds and tan stalks of hay.

Their sounds caught his ear again and Hiccup dared to peer out from the rock. His eyes moved from near to far, not seeing anything. Then they appeared; Hiccup's eyes widened and his head quickly whipping back behind the boulder.

"That's Dagur; what is HE doing here?!" he whispered. Dagur and a few of his Berserkers were indeed walking out into the opening of field, obviously looking for something, or someone.

"Night Fury tracks, and FRESH! Ho ho ho oh; we're going to have a blast killing this beast!" Dagur exclaimed excitedly. He glanced around and then stopped at his subjects. "Shh, be quiet, it's here, and close." (I don't know why he hushed his men, he was the one talking) His guards stiffened a little when he shushed them, but then kneeled down and readied their bolas. Dagur narrowed his eyes and looked forward, pointing ahead. Fortunately for him, he was sneaking right over to where Hiccup and Toothless were hiding; unfortunately for them, well, he was sneaking right over to where they were hiding.

"Oh no, if Dagur finds me here with Toothless, saddled and everything, he'll realized our ruse was a fake and rage war." Hiccup stated in an almost inaudible whisper. He looked at Toothless, who's ears were back and teeth bared, and thought of an idea; though his didn't like it. He quickly, but silently, took off the saddle and removed his prosthetic tail. Toothless was worried of what Hiccup was doing and looked suddenly at his rider.

"Sorry bud, but if Dagur finds you with the saddle, he'll know and we can't let that happen." He said petting and hugging his friend. He tucked the equipment in the nook underneath the boulder and faced Toothless again. "Lead them away, then come back and find me." He said making a hand gesture as well. Toothless nodded, licked Hiccup and ran out into the opening. He made it look convincing; pretending that he didn't know Dagur had spotted him and kept walking low to the ground.

Dagur smiled wildly, and bit his lip from screaming at the upcoming excitement.

A NIGHT FURY, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! He thought thrillingly. He slowly approached the black dragon and got out his sword. Hiccup slid around the boulder to the other side as Dagur was passing, his eyes set upon the sight. Dagur raised his weapon, and was on the brink of rushing forward when Toothless narrowed his eyes, smiled in a way and veered to stare at the Berserk. He roared and fired one of his plasma blasts, causing Dagur to lose his focus just long enough for him to make a dash.

The Berserkers ran after it, throwing their spears and bolas, but missing. Dagur looked ahead and noticed Toothless' missing tail. He smiled wickedly and ran.

"It's grounded, this should be an easy kill!" he shouted as he quickly caught up to his fellow Berserkers.

Hiccup looked at them running, and thought to himself,

Toothless may not be able to fly without me, but that doesn't mean he'll be easy to take down. Dagur, you're in for a big surprise as Toothless isn't your average everyday Night Fury.

From boulder to boulder, Hiccup made his way across the field and back into the cover of the sequoias. Unbeknownst to him, something was lurking in the treetops, watching his every movement.

Once again, I'm sooooo sorry for leaving you guys hanging for a week. I caught the lazy and didn't feel like typing out a new chapter. But I'm back and am whipping myself (not literally) to keep writing. Other than that, I'm stoked for tomorrow's new episode! And I found out not too long ago that season two's title is change to Defenders of Berk; that sounds exciting! Thanks for your lovely reviews and continuous reading of my stories.
