Everyone split into three teams, Snoutlout with Fishlegs, the twins and then Hiccup and Astrid together.
"How's he holding up?" Astrid asked.
"I've never seen him so-"
Hiccup was cut off by Toothless diving to a beach. When they landed Hiccup flew off the saddle. Toothless immediately started sniffing for the scent he had picked up in the air.
Hiccup got up and looked around, he then noticed the tracks of a baby Nightfury leading into the ocean ad he saw female Nightfury prints right beside them. Then he saw a mark of a net and then a struggle. He looked and saw foot prints, Sapphire and Brant had been captured.
Sapphire and Brant were put into a cage together, when Dagger came up to them. Sapphire got in front of her hatchling and roared at Dagger. She tried to breath fire, but all she could do was cough.
"Gave you some freezing powder while you were out, no fire for you," Dagger said.
Sapphire then ran up to the steel bars and stared him down, telling him to let her go or else. He didn't move or even flinch. He then smiled, startling Sapphire, he wasn't just any human. Then a steel wall came down, separating Sapphire from Brant.
Sapphire turned and rammed against the steel wall. She clawed at it and kept attempting to open it. She kept trying for two hours until she was defeated. She then felt anger and ran at Dagger and rammed up against the barred cage. She roared at Dagger, trying to intimidate him.
"Oh don't worry another Nightfury will be joining him soon," Dagger said.
Little did Sapphire know that Brant was being introduced to another female Nightfury. Her eyes purple and she had scars from pervious fights from dragons. She paced around Brant, and she looked up as she heard a roar and a loud bang against the steel door. She knew that the Nightfury on the other side was the hatchling's mother. Sapphire then caught the scent of the other female and roared loudly, knowing that the female could kill her offspring.
The female did nothing, but stand there. She then decided to let the offspring live, and she lied down.
Toothless was flying as fast as he could, he was on Sapphire's and Brant's scent. Hiccup could feel the tenseness of his best friend. The male dragon was deeply concerned. After they came through a cloud of dense mist they saw an island. Hiccup heard Toothless growl and then they landed with Astrid, Fishlegs, Snoutlout and the twins behind him.
"So how do we want to do this?" Astrid asked.
"Follow Toothless and find Sapphire and Brant, blast anything in our path," Hiccup said.
Toothless then roared his call again and ran into an entrance of a cave.
Sapphire lifted her ear scales when she heard her mate's call. She then roared the call back at the same pitch. When Toothless heard the reply he picked up his pace. Hiccup noticed he was going faster, "We found them," he called to the others.
Sapphire then used her front legs and banged against the metal bars and roared the call again.
Hiccup could now hear her, and he got low letting Toothless gain even more speed. After Toothless turned a corner Sapphire come into view. Toothless roared and she backed off from the metal bars. Toothless used a plasma blast and took out the bars. Sapphire ran out to her mate, and they rubbed their heads to together. Sapphire then pulled away and let out a low sound, she then motioned her head towards the steel wall.
Hiccup noticed that her mouth was white.
"Sapphire come here," Hiccup said and got off Toothless.
He pried her mouth open and saw a white powder covering the inside. He then got some water and sprayed it in her mouth. Sapphire spit out the powder and fired a plasma blast at the steel wall. Toothless joined her and a hole broke in the wall. Everyone held their breath, until Brant wobbled out of the hole. Sapphire ran over to him and examined him, making sure nothing was broken or hurt. She then caught scent of the female and got in front of him.
"Sapphire what the-" Hiccup was cut off by a purple eyed female night fury walking out of the hole.
"Another?" Astrid asked. "Where did it come from?"
"I don't know, but we've got to get out of here, Sapphire, Toothless let's go," Hiccup said.
Sapphire picked up her little one and they got back to Berk before dark, little did they know they were followed by the female. Hiccup decided it was high time that he let the whole family stay together, and he let them sleep inside.
