Sorry about the extremely long delay, but I finally got a new laptop and mouse to go with it! On with the show! :D

The Dragon Riders landed on the shore near Drago's base, Astrid dropping Eret, who tried to get up and run, but was too late as Freya suddenly sat on him, squawking happily. 'Why do I like him so much?' She thought to herself curiously as Eret said:
"Alright, I got you here! get this thing off of me!" he shouted irritably. "I'm a 'she', thank you!" Freya snapped, even though he couldn't understand what she was saying.
"Never take a toy from a dragon. Don't you know anything?" Astrid said, smirking and shaking her head as she turned to see what was over the hill ahead of them. Letting out a purr, Freya covered her wings over Eret. "Why does this keep happening to me?" He asked, his voice muffled by her wings.
While Freya was still sitting on him, the group could see a large band of Dragon Hunter ships on the water below, with part of the surface near the biggest ship frothing furiously, like some large creature was residing in it. Astrid squinted, trying to see what was under the water.
"What's down there?" She asked Fishlegs, who pulled out his Dragon Cards and shuffled through them. "Massive lungs, coldwater deep dweller..." Freya cocked her head curiously. What kind of dragon could have lungs bigger than hers other than the recently deceased Queen Dragon? "I'm thinking it is a class five or maybe six!" Fishlegs finished, the others glancing at him.
Suddenly, Freya could sense something was wrong. She let out a squawk and took off, Eret drawing out his sword and more Dragon Hunters coming out, shooting sleeping darts at Meatlug, Hookfang, and Barf and Belch, who were out immediately. Freya managed to get out of the way of the darts as she watched in despair as her beloved Rider was taken away. Determined to follow them, she snuck behind them trying not to be seen.

A few minutes later, they were on Drago's main ship. The other dragons were all tied up while the Riders were held by the other hunters. Freya quickly hid behind some barrels, away from the Hunters, who were to busy with the others to notice her. Eret approached with a lot of confidence, but she could see the nervousness in his eyes.
"Drago!" He greeted with false cheeriness, as the demon man turned, growling softly. Freya's eyes widened a bit when she saw the cape he had on. 'Is it made from Night Fury skin?' she thought nervously. Drago approached Eret, looking pretty furious, but staying scarily calm. One of the Hunters took Eret's swords away.
"As you can see, I've turned up with a new batch of dragons, just like I promised!" He continued, his voice starting to sound pretty nervous as Drago approached Hookfang, not saying anything yet. Hookfang was just coming around from the sleeping dart, snapping furiously at the Hunters.
"Stay away! Keep your filthy paws off me!" He snapped furiously, trying to keep them away. Drago then spoke. His voice was so chilling.
"Drop the ropes!" He ordered. Freya shivered at his voice.
Hookfang growled menacingly, trying to bring this man to his knees. But he didn't seem effected at all by it. He simply returned the same growl. Hookfang then said, "You asked for it!" and blasted his kerosene fire at Drago, who held up his cape and the fire deflected off of it. Hookfang felt a bit of fear after his fire went out. A man who can resist my flame? He asked himself, as the man swirled his staff, letting out a dragon-like roar and repeating it until Hookfang unwillingly bowed to him, and he placed his foot on his nose.
No! Thought Freya in fear for her friend's life as the other Riders shouted furiously at Drago for doing this. Eret then managed to somehow look confident again as he mentioned them.
"And, as an added bonus, I also caught you their riders. No extra charge, of course!" He said, smirking. "What?" Astrid exclaimed furiously. "Aww!" Said Ruffnut dejectedly. "But you were so perfect!" Freya just rolled her eyes, though she still felt worried for Eret. He was going a bit far. Drago then noticed the saddles on her friends.
"Turns out, there's a whole bunch of them out there! And-" He didn't get to finish as Drago suddenly snatched Eret by his throat, choking him. Freya growled soflty. If this goes too far, she would jump in and save them, even if it means costing her own life. "How many?" Drago snarled quietly. Astrid whispered something to the others, but Freya couldn't quite hear her.
"How many?" Drago roared loudly, squeezing the man's throat more. Astrid stepped forward. "Hundreds!" She proclaimed. "A whole island full!" Drago glared at Eret. "I wouldn't worry about it," He said nervously. "My men are hunting them down as we speak! They won't know where you're hiding I promise you that!"
"Oh, yes they will!" Astrid said smugly as Drago dropped Eret. "They know we're missing and they have Tracking Dragons!" Freya felt a bit of panic inside her as she said these things. What is she doing? She thought in fear. "If you so much as touch us, Hiccup is gonna kick your b-" "Hiccup?" Drago questioned in confusion. "He's not a problem!" Eret reassured weakly, rubbing his throat. "Really, trust me!" Drago ignored him and continued his attention to Astrid.
"He's only the son of Stoick the Vast, his Heir to the throne of Berk, and, the greatest Dragon Master this world has ever seen!" She finished. Drago narrowed his eyes. "Dragon Master? I ALONE control the dragons!" He roared at her. Freya just scoffed at that idea.
"Nope!" Said Tuffnut, smiling. "Sorry!" Fishlegs added, laughing with him. Astrid continued walking up to him. "And unless you let us go, right now, he will blast through here on his Night Fury, and blow your entire fleet of ships to splinters!" Drago narrowed his eyes.
Ruffnut smiled. "And then they will be crying like babies!" She said laughingly. Snotlout and Fishlegs laughed with her, making her groan in disgust. Drago grabbed Eret's face, lifting him up and glaring at him. "First, there was one Dragon Rider, and now all of BERK? And you led them to ME?!" He tossed Eret aside and he glanced up in slight shock at his action. "Drago!" He exclaimed, his eyes slightly terrified.
Drago stood up on a high point on the ship and shouted orders. "Stop all preparations! We must attack the Dragon Rider's nest at once! We will take DOWN their Alpha! And then, we will take BERK!" All the Hunters roared their approval and went to get the ships ready. Eret looks betrayed as he stood up. "Drago!" He yelled. Drago scoffed at him. "And get rid of him!" He ordered. A few Hunters turned on him with spears, and he backed away in fear. "No, please, I-"
Okay, that's IT! Freya thought as she jumped out of her hiding place and landing right in front of Eret, shielding him with her wings from the deadly darts that flew at them and shot her spines at the Hunters. But then she felt a stinging sensation on her neck, her world spinning and turning foggy. She barley heard Astrid's desperate voice calling out for her as Freya's world went black.
