After three long, hard-working day, a wall was finally constructed around the camp. Using wood, metal, sticks and other materials and items, the teenage prisoners had worked together to keep their territory safe. Safe from those who wish them harm.

Right now Hiccup and Fishlegs were in the drop ship, trying to find a way to get in contact with the Ark. Fishlegs was luckily healing nicely. He was now able to sit up and walk around but was under strict instructions to take it easy. Heather walked into the drop ship, along with Astrid. They walked over to the pair.

"How's it coming?" Heather asked.

"It's coming, but we're gonna need a wristband." Fishlegs told them.

"Well what about all the once that have already come of the others?" Astrid asked. Fishlegs shook his head.

"They'll be dead by now." He told them. Heather then looked down at her wristband.

"What about mine?" She asked. Fishlegs gave her a confusing look.

"You sure?" He asked. "You're brother won't be happy about you helping us trying to get in contact with the Ark."

"I'm sure." She told him. Fishlegs nodded. He took hold of some metal engineering tools and placed them on the wristband. He began to undo some screws in the wristband. He then placed one of the tools under the band and began to pull down. Heather began to moan and wimp in pain as the wristband came of her hand.

"Son of a-" She swore as the band came of her wrist. Fishlegs looked down at the band, his eyes brightened.

"I did it." He whispered. He looked over to Hiccup. "It's still operational." Fishlegs then slowly stood up, with Hiccup's help, and they both walked over to the wall to get the transmission started. Heather walked over to Astrid, who had a uneasy look on her face.

"What?" Heather asked. "Fishlegs needed a working wristband."

"And you going against your brother is smart?" Astrid pointed out.

"The Ark thinking I'm dead is only temporary, not like they care anyway." Heather told her.

"Not if I can't patch it through the drop ship mainframe." Fishlegs said from behind them as he began wiring. He then turned around to look at them. "I can do it. We'll be talking to the Ark by nightfall."

Hiccup then walked over to them. "Knowing his talents, we will most likely be talking to the Ark, before nightfall."

"Don't push it." Astrid told him as the three of them walked out of the drop ship and onto the camp sight. Everyone was doing their own thing to help around the sight. Some were building weapons, others were off collecting food and water, some were building tents, all working together.

"Tuffnut and I, along with some others are going to head out, see if we can get any more food." Hiccup told them was they walked over to the weapon area, where some prisoners were making weapons.

"You sure that's a good idea?" Astrid asked. "I mean, what if the grounder-"

"If the grounders attack then we will fight them if we can." Hiccup told her.

"No offence Hiccup, but I don't think you or any of us can go against them." Heather told him. Hiccup shrugged.

"We're gonna have to try." Hiccup told her. "For all we know they might declare war on us."

"Now that they know we're hear it most likely they could end up attacking the camp." Astrid said.

"And we can't do that if we are starving." Hiccup said as he picked up a knife and placed it in the trousers. "I'll be back soon." He then walked of to look for Tuffnut and anyone else who would help them hunt.

Dagur and Snotlout were standing on the side lines watching everyone work. "This section should be finished by tomorrow." Snotlout told Dagur. They both then looked over to see two teen men carrying a large log, that look really heavy. The man carrying the log from behind suddenly dropped it and fell to his knees. Snotlout saw this.

"Hey!" He called as he walked over to the man. "You think the grounders are just gonna sit around and wait for us to finish the wall?" Snotlout asked as he stopped next to the guy, looking down at him. Astrid, who was now making a spear, saw what was going on and began walking over to them. "Maybe we should let the little girl do the lifting for you, huh?" He asked as he pointed to a young girl, the same girl as yesterday, weaving some logs together for a tent.

"I just need some water, okay? Then I'll be fine." The man said.

"Yeah, Snotlout." Astrid said as she stopped in front of Snotlout. "Why don't you get him some water?"

"And why should I do that?" He asked while laughing slightly.

"Maybe because I asked you kindly." She pointed out.

"I don't have to do anything you ask." He told her.

"Snotlout, get this guy some water." Dagur told him. Snotlout rolled his eyes before walking off to get the guy some water, knowing not to mess with him. Astrid then turned to the young girl.

"Hey," She said as she patted the young girls arm, "you got this?" She asked pointing to the log. Believing Astrid was being serious the young girl went to pick up the log, only to be stopped by Astrid kneeling down next to her laughing slightly. "I'm just kidding." The girl smiled at her back, slightly embarrassed for falling for it. Astrid then placed her hands under the log before lifting it onto her shoulder and moving it with the other guy.

xXx

Hiccup, Tuffnut and some other men were walking through the woods looking for for their lunch and dinner.

"So are we heading to the river or are we looking for birds...?" Tuffnut asked as he and Hiccup walked through the forest with the other men walking ahead of them.

"Just anything we can catch, Tuff." Hiccup told him.

"Right, and how are we looking to do that?" Tuffnut asked. "We don't have anymore bullets for that gun Dagur has, all we have is knives."

"Then we better hope everyone is good a knife throwing." Hiccup said.

"I know a couple of people who are good at knife throwing." Tuffnut said.

"Yeah, like who?" Hiccup asked.

"Astrid." Tuffnut told him. Hiccup didn't say anything and carried on walking. "You like her don't you?"

"What?" Hiccup said as he turned his head to Tuffnut.

"You like Astrid, don't you?" Hiccup nodded.

"Well yeah, of course I do. She's a nice person." He told Tuffnut.

"No, you like her." Tuffnut corrected him. Hiccup began to go red slightly. "Oh, come on, bro. Just tell her."

"And lose another limb, I don't think so." Hiccup told him.

"Come on, she would only do that if you flirt with her." Tuffnut said.

"Yeah, and telling her you have feeling for her isn't flirting." Hiccup said like he was dumb. "Besides, there are loads of other guys here and up there way better than me for her." Before anything else could be said the two other male prisoners came running over to them. They were out of breath. "What happened?"

"We were chasing a animal through the woods-" the blond hair prisoner began to say.

"It was massive, and it had wings, like giant!" The brown hair prisoner said.

"It was not a bird, we have no idea what it was!" The blond hair prisoner said.

"Okay, okay," Hiccup said to them. "Just tell us what happened.

"When we were following it we came across this ship thing." The brown hair prisoner said. Tuffnut's eyes widened.

"Another Ark member came her last night?" Tuffnut asked. They shook their head.

"No, this one must of been her for at least a year, its got vines on it and is really dirty." The blond hair prisoner said. Hiccup began to think of when the Ark would of launched another drop ship a year ago. His father had never mentioned anything about Earth being safe for people to come down on. Why would someone- wait.

"Where was it?" Hiccup asked with a slight panicked voice. The two male prisoners began to lead the way to where the old drop pod was. They soon arrived to a sort of clearing, though there were still trees close around them. Hiccup slowly made his way over to the drop pod and began to observe it. There were a couple of vines over the top of it going down the side. There was dirt and mud covering it. You could tell it was old. The window at the front was smashed like someone had fallen through the glass.

Hiccup head over to the side of the drop ship and began to try and open the door, which was pretty hard because of how stiff it was. He was finally able to open it. There were leafs covering the seat were someone would sit, along with the control panels. He then walked over to the seat and lifted the seat itself up. Inside there was a note. He knew who was in the pod.

"Mum."

xXx

Stoick walked through the busy hallways of the Ark. He was on his was to Camicazi, to check on the pod she was working on that would take her to Earth. As he carried on his walk he saw Spitelout walking towards him. Their eyes locked.

"Chief." Spitelout said.

"Spitelout." Stoick said as he carried on his walk, however Spitelout didn't.

"Are you headed to Mecha Station?" Spitelout asked. Stoick stopped and turned around. Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.

"You've been down there 8 times this past week. Is there something I should be made aware of?" Spitelout asked.

"Are you question me?" Stoick asked him.

"Not at all, but as a member of the council I feel like it's my duty-" Spitelout began to say but was cut of.

"As a member of the council it is your duty to not question me and where I go." Stoick told him. Spitelout nodded.

"Of course." Spitelout said before walking off back in his normal direction. Stoick looked at him one more time before walking off himself.

xXx

Up in the Mecha Station Camicazi was busy working away on the escape pod. Stoick then quickly walked into the room.

"How soon can you get this thing ready to drop?" He asked as he walked into the room and over to Camicazi.

"I'm still scraping up parts to fabricate a pressure regulator." She told him. "We got two more days, right?"

"Can we launch without that part?" Stoick asked her.

"We could launch, but we'll be dead before we get to the ground." She told him. "And I mean bad dead. Ruptured lungs, air bubbles in the brain. We need that part." Stoick sighed while rubbing his forehead. "Why? What's wrong? Did something change?"

"I have a feeling the council is going to be finding out." Stoick told her.

"So?" She said as her body moved out of the pod. "You're the chief. You can do what ever you want."

"Not if the council out votes me." He told her. "I need you on Earth today." Camicazi sighed.

"Okay, but I need that pressure regulator." She told him.

"I'll talk to Gobber, he should know what to do." He told her.

xXx

Hiccup was sitting on the ground, leaning against the ship, when Astrid came walking into the clearing. "Hey." She called over. Hiccup looked up from the letter in his hands. He didn't reply and looked back down at the letter. "What are you doing out here alone? There could be grounders everywhere."

"I'm not afraid of them." He told her. Astrid smiled as she walked over to him.

"Yeah well, we should be." She told him. She then sat down next to him, looking at the letter in her hands. "What's that?"

"It a letter." He told her. "From me to my mom."

"Where did you get that from?" She asked.

"The ship behind us." He said.

"But why would your letter be-" She cut herself of, realising what this all meant. Her mouth formed an 'O' shape before going quiet.

"Ever since I was little, on my and mom's birthday we would always leave letters on each others chairs, sometimes I would place the letter under the seat to annoy her when I tell her its on the chair." He told her laughing at the memory. "When I told her I got a drop ship ready for her she would know to check the seat for a letter, that why I checked it. To see if she would of left a letter for me."

"And she didn't." Astrid said. Hiccup shook his head. "Just because she didn't leave you a letter doesn't mean she's dead."

"There's a hole in the front of the ship." He told her. "Its obvious that she went through it when landing."

"That doesn't mean anything, Hiccup." Astrid told him.

"Astrid, she wouldn't do this. She would of left something to show she was still alive. Plus, the grounders." Astrid didn't say anything, knowing he was right. Hiccup's breath began to become shaky slightly. Astrid took Hiccup's hand into her own and leaned her head on his shoulder. Hiccup did the same, just leaned his head on her head.

xXx

Stoick walked back into the Mecha Station and walked over to Camicazi. He then handed her the pressure regulator. Camicazi looked at it with wide eyes.

"How did you-" She began to ask but was cut off by Stoick.

"Don't as me." He told her. "Gobber is the one that can work magic like that, though I wish I knew how. How fast can you install it?"

"I don't know." She answered. "A few hours, maybe." Stoick nodded.

"Better get to work then." He told her.

"Yes sir. I'm on it." She told him before getting to work on the drop pod.

xXx

Hiccup and Astrid walking through the forest together, on their way back to the camp site. As they carried on walking past tree's and bushes Hiccup felt something hard against his foot. Hiccup stopped and looked down. Astrid, who was now walking in front of him, saw that he had stopped and looked over to him.

"Hiccup?" She said. He didn't answer and knelt down to the ground. He moved the dirt and branches to find a metal door, just like the one on the drop ship. Astrid walked over to him and also saw the door. "Its just that automobile." She told him. Hiccup shook his head.

"No, its not. Look at the door." He said. "It's just like the one on the drop ship." Astrid looked at the door more carefully and saw that he was right. Hiccup then placed his hand on the handle and lifted the door up. They both looked down the hole. There was a ladder leading down. Hiccup climbed onto the ladder.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Fishlegs won't be finished just yet." He told her as he began to climb down. "Lets check this place out." Astrid sighed before climbing onto the ladder and climbing down with him, not before closing the door above her. Once at the bottom they both turned on the flashlights they both carried.

Looking around the room they were in there was a bunker bed, a table and chairs with pens, pencils and other art equipment, shelves of food, candles, a settee, a sink with bottles next to it and so much more.

"What is this place?" Astrid said as she looked around. Hiccup shook his head.

"I'm not sure." He said. "Maybe a escape house or something." He said. Astrid then walked over to the shelves were the candles were and placed them on the table. Hiccup took some matches he found and began to help Astrid light them. Soon the whole room was a orange like colour from the light. Astrid began to have another look around while Hiccup sat on the settee. He let out a sigh.

"Hey Hiccup." Astrid said. Hiccup opened his closed eyes and looked over to her. "You like to draw, right?"

"Yeah." Hiccup told her, not sure were she was going with this. Astrid then walked over to him with a small jar in her hand. She sat down next to him and handed him the jar. He took it into his hands and began to observe it. It had pens in. He undone the lid and pulled some of the pens out. He smiled. He then placed the pens on the table. "Did you find anything else?" Astrid showed his a photograph on a small family.

"Looks like they never made it here." Astrid said.

"No." Hiccup said as he looked away from the photo. "I figure the bombs took them by surprise."

"Most likely." Astrid said. Hiccup sighed and looked around the room.

"All this preparation. What a waste." Astrid shook her head.

"I don't know. Maybe they were lucky." She told him. "They couldn't have lived more than a few years down here, then when they ran out of food or lost their minds, they would've opened the doors and been dead within a few days. Back then, maybe sooner."

xXx

"Thank you all for meeting here with me on short notice." Stoick said to the council. They all sat around the table in the council meeting room, though they do not know what for.

"Are we going to another vote, Stoick?" Spitelout asked. Stoick shook his head.

"No." He told him. "I am here to tell you all the new plan."

"What new plan?" Ingrid asked.

"We believe that the 100 are all dying and that earth is not survivable." Stoick told him.

"However some of us do believe that the prisoners are taking of their wristbands." Gobber quickly said.

"But we have no way of know that." Spitelout said.

"I know. Which is why a volunteer has offered to go down to Earth today." Stoick told them. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes.

"Who?" Phlegma asked.

"Camicazi Cowlock." He told them.

"Why was this not discussed sooner?" Spitelout asked.

"Because the drop pod was needing some repairs." Gobber explained. "Once repaired we will be able to launch, which is today."

"Okay then," Mulch said, "A vote in favour is to vote to send Camicazi Cowlock to earth to see if the 100 are still alive and Earth is survivable. All though in favour?"

"Aye." Stoick, Gobber, Ingrid, Phlegma, Bucket and Mulch all said together raising their right arm. Spitelout shook his head.

"I will let Camicazi know now." Stoick told them as he stood up from his chair and walked out of the room.

xXx

Hiccup and Astrid walked back into the camp, night had fallen upon them. Tuffnut saw the two and walked over to them.

"Hey there, love birds." Tuffnut greeted. Astrid raised her eyebrows at him and lifted her hand up slightly, showing a fist. "I'm just talking about two birds I saw that were in love."

"That's what I thought." She said as she walked past him. Tuffnut sighed as he walked over to Hiccup.

"So, any kissing?" He asked him. Hiccup shook his head.

"That's not going to happen, Tuff." Hiccup told him. Tuffnut smirked.

"We'll just see about that." Tuffnut said.

"Hey!" Hiccup and Tuffnut turned around to see Dagur walking over to them. "Where have you and Astrid been all day?"

"Walking around, trying to find some stuff." Hiccup told him.

"Well next time, don't leave without letting someone know." Dagur told him. "Savage has wondered of somewhere and he still hasn't come back."

"He's properly on his way back." Hiccup said to him. Dagur sighed.

"And did you find anything use full?" Dagur asked him. Hiccup thought about telling him about the escape house but decided to keep it between him and Astrid. Hiccup shook his head.

"No. We didn't find anything." Hiccup told him. Dagur gave him a confusing look.

"We?" Dagur asked.

"Astrid and I." Hiccup said. Dagur gave him a suspicious look.

"You two have been hanging around each other quite a lot recently." Dagur pointed out. "Anything I should know?" Hiccup shook his head.

"No, nothing." Hiccup told him. Dagur looked at him once more before walking of. Tuffnut then turned to Hiccup.

"You sure about that?" Hiccup was about to say something back when Ruffnut came running over to them.

"Hey! Guys!" She yelled as she ran over.

"Wow! Sis. Catch your breath." Tuffnut told his sister. She shook her head.

"No time! He did it!" Ruffnut told them. "Fishlegs got through!" The three of them looked at each other before running into the drop ship.

xXx

"You ready, Camicazi?" Stoick asked from one of the control rooms.

"Yes sir." Camicazi answered through the radio she held in her hands from the drop pod.

"Good luck, kido." Gobber said into the radio. Camicazi smiled through her space suit.

"Thanks, Gobber." She said.

"Hey, Camicazi." Stoick quickly said.

"Yes?"

"If you see you son can you tell him, though I'm sure he won't want to hear it, that I'm sorry." Camicazi sighed.

"Yes, sir." Stoick nodded.

"Okay. Here we go." Gobber said as he push a couple of buttons. Suddenly smoke filled the room Camicazi was in and the drop pod detached from the Ark and fell into space.

xXx

Inside the drop ship Fishlegs was slightly wiring the wristband, getting it ready to use. Heather, Ruffnut, Tuffnut were standing close to him while Astrid stood behind them and Hiccup stood next to the door of the drop ship, rubbing his hands together slightly as they waited anxiously.

"Will we be able to talk to them?" Astrid asked.

"No." Fishlegs answered. "More like Morse code." Fishlegs then took a red wire and held it over the wristband. He looked at everyone. "Here we go." He said. He then slowly began to lower the wire down onto the wristband. Everyone watch nervously. Then as the wire came in contact with the wristband it made a lout zap noise.

Then Hiccup, Astrid, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and everyone else who was still wearing their wristband looked down at it, feeling a zap run through their arm.

xXx

Back on the Ark in the Tech room with all of the prisoners pictures and life signs, Gobber was on the computer when suddenly it became blurry and he lost connection. "What the-" He began to say but suddenly the alarm went of meaning another prisoner had just died. Gobber looked up to see which one had died. His eyes widened at the sight.

All of them were dead.

xXx

"What happened?" Heather asked Fishlegs. Ruffnut and Tuffnut were checking each others wristbands behind them. Hiccup was waiting for an answer. Astrid looked at Fishlegs with confusion.

"It didn't work." He answered. He then turned to Heather. "I think we fried all the wristbands." Hiccup couldn't believe what he was hearing and stormed out of the drop ship. Astrid looked over at Heather and everyone before running after him.

Hiccup ran back to the escape house under ground. He had to get away from everyone and let out his anger. He took hold of the table the flipped it over. Astrid, who had just came down the ladder quickly walked over to him and grabbed his arms.

"Hiccup! Hiccup, stop it! Calm down!" She shouted to him.

"We're dead to them!" He screamed to her, using his arms to pull her of him. "Don't you get that?!"

"No, there's still hope." She told him.

"Even you don't believe that. It's over, Astrid. They're gonna die up there, and we're alone." Astrid lost it.

"We're not alone!" She yelled to him, now having tears in her eyes. She then pointed to him. "You're not alone." She then grabbed hold of his face in her hands. "You're not alone."

Hiccup looked down at her into her eyes. He then did something he was expecting a punch for. He leaned forward and pushed his lips against hers. She began to kiss him back as she wrapped her arms round his neck. He then began to take of his jacket, she began to do the same. He then took hold of the bottom of her shirt and lifted it above her head. She then helped him take of his shirt.

He moved forward leading them to the bed. He pushed her down onto it, carrying on kissing her. She wrapped her arms round his back as they bother began to run out of air. They stopped kissing and looked at each other for a minute. Astrid then moved her hands to the back of his head and began to kiss him again.
