Chapter 7: Worst in Show
On the secret underground cavern that the Outcasts discovered, Alvin, Salvage and Mildew have learned that there biggest effort of destroying Berk by Whispering Death eggs has failed.
"Huh." Alvin says picking up the remains of a dragon egg. "Anyone care to tell me what this looks like?" He asks.
"A waste of perfectly good Whispering Death eggs?" Savage asks.
"This was your plan, Mildew. "Oh, plant the eggs under Berk," you said. "They'll hatch and destroy the village, Alvin. There will be no one left to get in your way, Alvin." Alvin mocks the old man's words as he cowers in fear.
"Well, I don't remember saying all that." Mildew says.
"Eh, doesn't really matter now, does it?" Alvin asks tossing the egg shell over his shoulder and grabs his sword ready to kill the old man.
"Now, now, wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Mildew yells.
"Why should I?" Alvin asks, sword still raised above his head.
"Look at the positive, Alvin." Mildew says whimpering.
"That's not really my strong suit now, is it?" Alvin asks.
"Think about it. Uh, when life gives you fish heads, what do you do?" Mildew asks.
"I take it out on people like you." Alvin says.
"Well, yes. That too. But-but-but-but-you can also make a delicious chowder." Mildew says but Alvin swings his sword. "Ugh! Ah!" He whimpers seeing the sword a foot from taking his head off.
"I like chowder." Alvin says.
"Well, these tunnels are your chowder. They'll lead you right to the Berk Dragon Training Academy." Mildew says.
"Eh, and what would I do when I get there?" Alvin asks not seeing the point Mildew is making.
"Well, the better question is, what wouldn't you do? What couldn't you do? Spying? Kidnapping? Dragon killing?" Mildew asks listing the reasons for the tunnel use.
"Or all of the above." Alvin says and starts laughing. "I like it. You're in luck, Mildew. I'm not gonna kill you right now." Alvin says and walks away.
"I hate it when he says that." Mildew says.
"Trust me, it's better than when he doesn't say it." Savage says to the old man.
Meanwhile, the Riders practice their rescue training by having a single boat in the ocean with a practice dummy as the person needing rescuing. Fishlegs, who is on Meatlug's saddle, stares at the sundial and signals Snotlout and Hookfang to take their turn. Hookfang takes of quickly into the air, doing to loops before diving downward towards the boat where Snotlout grabs the dummy.
"Yes, Hookfang! Victory loop!" Snotlout shouts as they fly past Hicca, her dragons, Asher, and his dragons.
"You know, I hate to admit it, but Snotlout actually looks like she's worked on her rescue training." Hicca says but then feels Hookfang emotion turn into a mischievous one.
"Hookfa-" Snotlout was unable to finish as Hookfang dives into the water creating a big splash as he swims through the water with Snotlout's screaming muffled.
"Uh, let's not get ahead of ourselves." Asher says as they see Hookfang fly out of the water and land in front of them.
"Ah! Another victim saved." Snotlout says but then the head of the dummy falls off. "Aah!" She screams at the sight before tossing it away.
"Yeah, you got the victim part right." Fishlegs teases.
"Shut up, Fishlegs. Big deal. So his head fell off. It's not like he's not on fire or anything." Snotlout says.
"Oh yeah?" Hookfang asks and sets the dummy on fire and stumps on it making Fishlegs smirk and about to reply.
"Shut up, Fishlegs." Snotlout says in anger.
Asher does his rescue training greatly by climbing up the cliff by using Stormfly's spines.
"Ah." Asher says in satisfaction.
"Great work, Asher." Hicca compliments.
""Great work"? Pfft, try lame work. Hello? Flying dragon? Might be a little quicker to get to the top of the sea stack." Snotlout says smirking.
"What if your victim is trapped on the side of the cliff and your dragon can't get you close enough? You ever think of that?" Asher asks with a smirk.
"Yes. No. Shut up, Asher." Snotlout says angrily.
"Okay, so, uh, Fishlegs. Looks like you're up." Hicca says as Fishlegs pats Meatlug's head and she flies straight up into the air.
"I call this the stop, drop…" Fishlegs says as Meatlug suddenly drops down fast.
"Out of the way!" Hookfang shouts quickly moving out of the way knocking Snotlout off the saddle.
"Oh, no. Aah!" Snotlout screams covering her face seeing Meatlug coming at her.
"And hover." Fishlegs says as Meatlug hovers in the air two feet above Snotlout.
"I like it, Fishlegs." Hicca says impressed.
"Oh, come on! That's not rescuing. That's falling." Snotlout says.
"Actually, this is falling." Fishlegs says as Meatlug stops hovering and body slams Snotlout.
"Ugh." Snotlout groans in pain as Fishlegs chuckles. "Hookfang, rescue." She says underneath Meatlug.
"Hmm, no." Hookfang says and flies off leaving his rider to fend for herself.
"Thank you." Snotlout says sarcastically.
"Okay, guys. You want to show us your rescue skill now?" Hicca ask the twins.
"Sure." Tuffnut says as he and his sister get in a ready position and just stay there while Barf and Belch growl and everyone and every dragon just stares at them.
"Uh, is this normal?" Glint asks slightly confused.
"In the short time I've been here, it is for them." Laval says to her brother.
"So…let's see it." Hicca says.
"Uh, you are seeing it." Tuffnut says chuckling.
"Pretty cool, huh, Hicca?" Ruffnut asks her best friend.
"Our rescue skill is not falling off this sea stack. That way, no actual rescue is necessary." Tuffnut explains.
"That actually makes sense in its own way." Melt says.
"Yeah, it does." Spinetail agrees.
"Ta-da!" Ruffnut shouts "accidentally" punching her brother sending him off the sea stack.
"Aah!" Tuffnut yells as he falls down the sea stack until a distant splash.
"Saw that one coming." Belch says.
"Oh yeah." Barf says.
"We're still working out the kinks." Ruffnut says smirking.
It was now Hicca's turn to perform her rescue skill with Toothless. Three targets were set up on boulders and Toothless flies at high speeds towards them from a distance.
"Barrel-roll multiple blast!" Hicca shouts as Toothless barrel rolls to the left firing three plasma blasts at the target destroying each one as the rider ooh and awe at the display.
"Nicely done, Toothless." Etch says.
"Impressive as always." Bones says.
"Thank you, my dear family." Toothless says proudly.
"Of course, he was trained by Hicca, as we all were." Serpentina says feeling proud to be Hicca's dragon.
"Not to mention we get to be in the presence of an angel every day." Grabble says nuzzling Hicca's neck.
"So true." Mist says as the rest of her siblings agree.
"Aww, you're all making me blush."Hicca says cutely.
"Stop ooh-ing. That's not even a rescue skill." Snotlout complains.
"Of course it is. You always need cover fire during a rescue. Everyone knows that. Very impressive, Hicca." Fishlegs says praising her leader.
"Hey, Fishlegs. You need some help getting your nose out of Hicca's-" Snotlout begins to say.
"Snotlout!" Hicca growls as Glint blast his paralyzing mist at the girl for the attempted insult.
"Oh come on!" Snotlout grips shivering while frozen in place.
"It's okay, Hicca. She's just mad because she was dead last in the rescue competition. But what else is new?" Fishlegs says.
"Uh, guys, this isn't a competition." Hicca says.
"Uh, yes, it is." Tuffnut says.
"You know, they say competition is the very essence of life itself." Ruffnut says smartly.
"It's true. Weird that she said it like that, but it's true. It's always a competition." Asher says impressed and a little shocked too.
"We are a team. Everyone has a role. No one person is better or more important than another." Hicca says but everyone just laughs.
"You don't really buy that, do you?" Snotlout asks finally able to move again.
"I do, actually. Yes. Wait, do you all feel the way Snotlout does?" Hicca asks.
"Uh, Hicca? You ride Toothless, a Night Fury. Not to mention a Boneknapper, a Grapple Grounder, a Scauldron, a Whispering Death, a Smothering Smokebreath, a titan-wing Changewing, a Deadly Nadder, a Fireworm Princess, and as of a few days ago; a Flightmare. And all you're dragons are at the top of the charts for intelligence, speed, accuracy, and, well, everything." Fishlegs says.
"Hey." Meatlug growls feeling insulted.
"No offense, girl." Fishlegs says to her dragon.
"You want to know what I think?" Snotlout asks.
"No!" Everyone shouts dragons included.
"I think we'll never know who the best dragon trainer is because we don't have a level playing field." Snotlout says.
"Hang on a second. What if we did have a level playing field? What if we could prove once and for all, who's got the skills and who doesn't?" Fishlegs asks.
"Trust me, Fishlegs. You don't want that." Snotlout says.
"Oh, I think I do." Fishlegs says smirking.
Later the riders return to the academy where Fishlegs place a crate of six Terrible Terrors in front of them.
"Terrible Terrors? This is your level playing field?" Snotlout asks looking at the small dragons.
"As a matter of fact, yes. We'll all choose a Terrible Terror and have a day to train it. And then we'll find out who's best." Fishlegs says as Snotlout starts laughing like a lunatic.
"Oh, man. I can't keep a straight face." Snotlout says.
"I fail to see the humor, Snotlout." Fishlegs says.
"You guys, the point of all this is-" Hicca says getting in between the two girls with Grabble on her shoulder.
"You don't have a chance to win this, Fish-Face, and you want to know why? Because there are readers, and there are doers. And while you've got your nose buried in the Book of Dragons, I'm out there kicking names and taking butts!" Snotlout says messing up the last phrase.
"I think you meant that the other way around." Asher says.
"I mean-shut up, Asher." Snotlout says.
"Uh, guys, come on." Hicca says trying to keep the peace.
"I'll tell you what, Snotlout. You're so confident in your dragon training superiority-why don't we make this interesting?" Fishlegs asks.
"All ears." Snotlout says with a scoff.
"Losers clean the winner's stall…for a month." Fishlegs says.
"Done." Snotlout says.
"In." Asher says as the twins laughs and clang their helmets, signaling that they're in too.
"Come on. We're not really going to do this, are we? You better strap on your helmets 'cause this guy right here-he's bringing the pain." Snotlout says attempting to grab one of the yellow ones but the purple Terrible Terror bits down on her arm. "Oh!" She groans in pain. "Guess I'll take this one." She says walking away with the purple Terrible Terror. "Bringing the pain!" She says strenuously.
The others then grab their own Terrible Terror, Asher takes an aqua green one, Fishlegs takes an orange one, the twins take the yellow ones but switch for the one the other has, and Hicca was lift with a light green one.
"Remember, not a competition! This is really gonna go bad in a hurry." Hicca says to her eleventh dragon.
"Oh yeah, it is." The Terrible Terror says in a male voice making Hicca giggle as he crawls onto Hicca's unoccupied shoulder.
"Looks like I now have to share your shoulder space, Hicca." Grabble says.
"Don't worry, there's room for both of you." Hicca says scratching her Smothering Smokebreath's and her new Terrible Terror's chins. "Come on; let's introduce you to your new family." She says exiting the academy.
Meanwhile Alvin, Salvage, and Mildew were in the tunnels searching for the academy. Savage was standing on Mildew's shoulder looking around from a hole in the tunnel ceiling.
"Well? What do you see?" Alvin asks his lieutenant.
"It's quite dark. And something keeps swinging into my face." Savage says but then hears yaks growl and soon sees them. "Oh, well, that explains it. Another yak farm." He says.
"What is it with you people and your yaks?" Alvin asks the old man.
"Don't look at me. I'm a sheep person." Mildew says.
"Hang on. I see something. I think it's the academy." Savage says.
"How can you be sure?" Alvin asks.
"Well, it's got a sign with a picture of a dragon on it. Oh and there are kids in there training dragons. So…" Savage trails off.
"That's it! That's the academy." Mildew says.
"Let's hold off on the victory dance, Mildew. I don't celebrate until I make my first kill." Alvin says.
At Fishlegs' house he tries to decide and give a name for his Terrible Terror.
"Well, Trainee, I have quite a rigorous schedule planned for you. Step one, we need to name you." Fishlegs says to her new dragon but then hears a sheep bleats in distance and sees Meatlug walk in with a sheep in her mouth.
"Come on, Fishlegs, let's play." Meatlug says tossing the sheep onto the table.
"Sorry, girl, we can't play "toss the sheep" right now." Fishlegs says dropping the sheep onto the floor. "Okay, I've got it narrowed down to Lars or Van. Maybe Karsten or Slurg. How about Death Wing? Ooh, that's good. Intimidating." She says as Meatlug tosses the sheep herself causing the sheep to bleat. "No, Meatlug. I can't right now. Mommy's gotta work on humiliating Snotlout. I'm gonna crush her in the dragon training competition." She says as Meatlug sighs in sadness and lies down with the sheep joining her.
"It's not a competition, Fishlegs." Hicca says watching in with her newest dragon on her shoulders and Toothless behind her. "Listen, I of all people know how Snotlout has a way of getting under your skin. I just want to make sure you're not losing perspective in all this." She says with concern.
"Death Wing and I?" Fishlegs asks with a laugh. "No, we don't plan on losing anything." She says smirking rubbing her Terrible Terror.
"Uh, Death Wing?" Hicca asks wide eyed.
"Or Iggy. We're not sure yet. What do you like?" Fishlegs asks.
"Uh, is Meatlug okay?" Hicca asks seeing the neglected dragon and feeling her emotion of sadness.
"Of course. Why wouldn't she be?" Fishlegs says not paying attention.
"What's wrong, Meatlug?" Toothless asks.
"Yeah tell us." Hicca's Terrible Terror says sitting on his brother's head.
"Fishlegs won't play "Toss the Sheep" with me." Meatlug says to the male dragons.
"Okay. Well, good talk. Let's go, boys." Hicca says walking towards the door.
"Coming, Hicca. Let's go little brother." Toothless says to the Terrible Terror.
"Right behind you." The Terror says.
"Okay, Iggy. Time to get serious. Let's do this." Fishlegs says to her now named dragon.
The next day, Meatlug is still neglected by Fishlegs from last night walks into the academy with the sheep in her mouth.
"Oh, Iggy, you can do this, you're the best, most-most well-trained dragon ever." Fishlegs says complimenting her new dragon.
"Will you play now, Fishlegs?" Meatlug asks nudging her.
"No, Meatlug. I can't right now." Fishlegs says.
"Okay." Meatlug says with a sigh and walks away and lies down with the sheep.
"Okay, time to show off what we've trained our Terrible Terrors to do. Why don't you go first, Snotlout?" Fishlegs says seeing the girl walking up to her.
"Why don't you go first?" Snotlout asks.
"Fine. I'll go first." Fishlegs says.
"Oh, no, you don't. I'll go first." Snotlout says.
"First, second, third-doesn't matter. 'Cause in the end, you're gonna come in last." Fishlegs says smirking.
"Whoa, what got into Fishlegs?" Asher asks.
"Looks like she finally grew some-" Tuffnut begins to say.
"Whoa, how about I go first? Especially since I don't care whether I win or not because this isn't about winning or losing." Hicca says getting in between the two girls.
"Yeah, you keep selling that. Loser." Snotlout says in a singsong voice but then dodges a plasma blast from Toothless at the last second.
"Ready, Toothless?" Hicca asks her Night Fury with her left arm extended with her Terrible Terror perched on it.
"Ready." Toothless says with three wood carved ducks on his right wing.
"Now!" Hicca shouts as Toothless tosses the ducks into the air. "Sharpshot, fire!" She shouts as her Terror, Sharpshot, jumps up into the air and fires three fireballs at the ducks destroying them without missing a single one and lands on Hicca's shoulders gently.
"Not bad. You're starting off the competition with a bang, Hicca." Asher says with a smile to his crush.
"It is not a competition." Hicca says.
"Not yet it isn't." Fishlegs says glaring at Snotlout next to her as she glares back.
Next it was Asher turn to present his Terrible Terror and how he trained him.
"Well, what do you think?" Asher asks just standing in the center of the academy, alone.
"What do we think of what?" Snotlout asks.
"My dragon, Sneaky's, stealth skills." Asher asks.
"Right. His skill's so stupid, he didn't even show up." Snotlout says.
"Or did he?" Asher asks grinning spotting his Terrible Terror on Snotlout's head.
"Oh, he's good." Tuffnut says now seeing Sneaky on his sister's head.
"Yeah. Who's good?" Ruffnut asks but then sees Sneaky on top of her helmet.
"Sneaky." Tuffnut says as Sneaky flies over to Asher. "Then again, he can't do what Butt and Head can do." Tuffnut says as the two yellow dragons walk away from each other.
"Let me guess-they're gonna run into each other?" Asher asks with his arms crossed.
"Ehh, wrong." Tuffnut says as Head and Butt fly at each other ramming into each when they meet.
"They flew into each other." Ruffnut says.
"Totally different." Tuffnut says.
Unknown to any of the riders, Alvin, Savage, and Mildew were watching from the stands of the academy.
"What are they up to?" Alvin asks.
"Prepare to be amazed at the smartest little dragon in the archipelago." Fishlegs says.
Meatlug sighs sadly and then groans while looking at the ground. Fishlegs gestures to the objects laid out behind the riders as she then shuffles through her drawings showing them to the other riders making Snotlout scoff.
"Iggy, bring me this." Fishlegs says showing Iggy the drawing of an apple as he flies over to the apple picking it up and return to Fishlegs with it. "Good boy, Iggy. Aw, who's a good little guy?" She says praising her second dragon.
"Whatever. Lucky guess." Snotlout says.
"Okay, you choose one." Fishlegs says holding up the drawing as Snotlout grabs the drawings and choices the bucket one, showing it to the riders before showing Iggy as he flies to the bucket and brings it back while hitting Snotlout in the head with it.
"Whoa. I couldn't do that." Tuffnut says chuckling.
"Aha." Alvin says as they continue to spy.
"Big deal. So he plays fetch." Snotlout says throwing the bucket away.
"Well, what does your Terrible Terror do?" Fishlegs asks.
"This. Pain!" Snotlout shouts as she open the crate and her Terrible Terror, Pain, pops out and bits her leg growling.
"So-So let me get this straight. You trained him to bite you?" Fishlegs asks laughing.
"Try and pry him loose. I dare you. Took Gobber all day yesterday to get him off of this leg." Snotlout says gesturing to her bandaged leg.
"You're ridiculous. Just tell them I won, Hicca." Fishlegs says.
"You won? Ha! Get real!" Snotlout shouts.
"It wasn't even close." Fishlegs says not noticing that Meatlug begins sniffing around but Alvin, Savage, and Mildew do.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. My Terror's stealthiness is pretty awesome too." Asher says.
"Asher, please. There's no brains involved in teaching a Terror to hide." Fishlegs says.
"Hey, our trainees ram their heads together at high speed. That takes brains." Ruffnut says.
"Yeah. Really hard, rock-like brains." Tuffnut says banging his fist against his helmet.
"Oh, come on. It's so obvious I won it." Fishlegs says.
"Come on, guys. It's like a bear trap." Snotlout says.
'Bunch of idiots.' Hicca says in her mind while shaking her head.
Meanwhile, Meatlug catches up a scent and follows it outside the academy while the other rider, minus Hicca, argue.
"Shh, we can't let that dragon see us." Mildew says as the three hide behind some large boulders but then Meatlug blasts their cover, literally.
"You three." Meatlug growls.
"Uh, this would be a good time to retreat into the tunnel." Mildew says.
"Alvin the Treacherous doesn't retreat." Alvin says about himself.
"Well, then, Alvin the Treacherous is gonna have to explain to Stoick the Vast what he's doing on Berk." Mildew says as he and Savage retreat.
"Start running!" Meatlug roars which the riders hear in the academy.
"Meatlug? Meatlug!" Fishlegs shouts as she, Hicca, and Toothless go in search of her.
Meatlug snarls as Alvin runs away and she gives chase, firing lava blasts at the Outcast leader.
"Aah! Aah! This is crazy." Alvin says stopping in his tracks as he turns around. "Ugh!" He shouts punching Meatlug in the snout causing her to loss her balance. "Muzzle her. We'll use the dragon as a hostage." He says as Savage ties up Meatlug and the two drag the Gronckle to the tunnel.
"She's a tough one." Savage says grunting while continuing to push.
"Hey! Hold it!" Toothless shouts firing plasma blasts at the Outcasts but they miss and the last one causes rocks to cover the entrance to the tunnel.
"Hicca, they took my Meatlug!" Fishlegs shouts in panic.
Later the rest of the rest get their dragons and try to blast the rocks away.
"We're only making it worse!" Fishlegs shouts.
"She's right. Hold your fire!" Hicca orders.
"Oh, what are we gonna do, Hicca? Those tunnels go all over the island. He could be going anywhere." Fishlegs says still panicking.
"They don't really go "all over" the island. Like, six yak farms." Tuffnut says.
"A couple of sheep pens." Ruffnut says.
"Mildew's cabbage field." Tuffnut says.
"Gobber's outhouse. Blah." The twins say together.
"What? We spent a lot of time in those tunnels. It's a tunnel of fun." Tuffnut says laughing at his own joke.
"Okay, we'll have to split up, cover all those places." Hicca says to the others.
"Great. Dibs on the beach!" Tuffnut shouts.
"Uh, what beach?" Hicca asks with a groan.
"The tunnel that goes to the secluded beach, on the far side of the island. I can't believe you haven't been there. It's white sand. So soft on your little toes." Tuffnut says describing the beach in detail.
"Okay." Hicca says rolling her eyes.
Meanwhile Alvin, Savage, and Mildew make it back to the beach where the load Meatlug onto the boat.
"Secure the dragon. We're shoving off." Alvin says.
Meanwhile the riders set off to the beach in search of Alvin with their new dragons following.
"Oh, if anything happens to my Meatlug, I'll never forgive myself!" Fishlegs says.
"It's not your fault, Fishlegs." Asher assures her.
"Sure, it is." Tuffnut says.
"Tuffnut." Asher says.
"What? It's not my fault. Is it your fault?" Tuffnut asks his sister.
"Nope. Not my fault." Ruffnut says.
"Yeah, definitely Fishlegs' fault. Sorry." Tuffnut says.
"Guys, not helping." Hicca says to them.
"No, no, they're right, Hicca. I ignored the most important thing in my life because I got so caught up in beating Snotlout." Fishlegs says.
"See? Bad things happen when you try to beat the Snot-woman. What? Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow." Snotlout says.
"You tried to tell me, Hicca, but I didn't listen." Fishlegs says.
"Fishlegs, we will get her back, I promise." Hicca assures her friend.
"Hey, if you two girls are done doing each other's hair, there's an Outcast ship we might wanna attack." Tuffnut says.
Snotlout and Hookfang make the first move and set fire to the boat but Alvin puts it out quickly.
"Give him plenty of lead. Maybe we can take out more dragons than I thought." Alvin says as his men take aim at the rider but the twins, Barf and Belch quickly attack first.
"Ha, like shooting yaks in a barrel." Tuffnut says.
"That was fun." Ruffnut says chuckling.
Asher and Stormfly make the next move as Stormfly shoots spines at the Outcasts but they all dodge. Hicca and Toothless move in to attack readying a plasma blast.
"Back off! Or I'll run the Gronckle through." Alvin says holding his sword to Meatlug.
"Hicca, wait! Don't fire!" Fishlegs begs and Hicca stops her Night Fury.
"Riders, hold your fire! Fall back!" Hicca orders.
"No! We can't just leave her there!" Fishlegs says.
"Don't worry, Fishlegs. We're not going to." Hicca says already having a plan.
"I don't see anything. Maybe they aren't coming." Savage says looking around for the riders.
"Oh, they'll come." Mildew says.
"He's right. Their sentiment is their weakness. Isn't it, Gronckle?" Alvin asks laughing evilly.
"Sneaky?" Meatlug asks seeing Asher's third dragon onto of the Outcast leader's head.
"Alvin, don't move." Savage whispers and tries to hit Sneaky with his sword but misses and strikes Alvin instead.
"Now let me explain, Alvin. There was a-a little dragon on your-" Savage begins to say but Alvin pulls out his sword.
"Hey!" Alvin shouts as Iggy snatches his sword from him.
"Yes!" Fishlegs shouts in excitement at her dragon.
"I wish I was as smart as that dragon." Tuffnut says.
"I wish you were as smart as that dragon too." Ruffnut mocks.
"Now it's up to Sharpshot." Hicca says looking to her eleventh dragon.
"On it, Hicca." Sharpshot says and flies down and fires fireballs at Meatlug's restraints freeing her.
"Thank you." Meatlug says and takes off but a single rope still holds her.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Mildew shouts attempting to stop Meatlug but Head and Butt headbutt the old man knocking him unconscious as the twins both laugh.
Meatlug shakes the last restraint off and tries to fly away but Alvin lassos her by her tail.
"Not so fast." Alvin says grabbing the rope and pulling it causing Meatlug to be pulled towards him.
"Oh, she's not gonna make it!" Fishlegs shouts in worry.
"Oh, yes, she is!" Snotlout shouts prying Pain off her and throws him at the rope and he bites through it freeing Meatlug. "Bam! Who's the best dragon trainer now?" She asks but Pain chomps down on her neck. "Pain, you little…" She groans.
Fishlegs laughs as she jumps off of Toothless saddle and onto Meatlug's with Iggy hovering next to them.
"Oh, I missed you too." Fishlegs says hugging her main dragon.
"Just one more loose end to tie up." Hicca says as Toothless dives downward. "Wait for it, wait for it." She says as she and Toothless get closer to the Outcast ship. "Now, Toothless! Barrel-roll multiple blast!" She yells as Toothless barrel-rolls while firing three plasma blasts at the ship causing it to sink and the Outcasts to abandon ship.
"Oh, baby, we got you back. Oh, Meatlug." Fishlegs says.
"We all did. Together." Hicca says.
"Guess that competition was worth something." Tuffnut says.
"Oh, for the last time, it wasn't a competition!" Hicca yells.
Meanwhile, Alvin, Salvage and Mildew float to their island.
"Ah! Fungus-wha-what happened?" Mildew asks waking up.
"Well, I'll give you a hint. Your chowder turned back into fish heads." Alvin growls at the old man.
"Shame. I do love chowder." Savage says.
"Well, let's look at the positive." Mildew suggests but Alvin punches him in the face knocking the old man unconscious.
"Let's not." Alvin says unaware of a shark following.
Back on Berk, Fishlegs and Meatlug happily play Toss the Sheep along with Iggy watching.
"Great toss, girl." Fishlegs says as she catches the sheep.
"Hey, Fishlegs, we're gonna do some more training with the Terrors." Hicca explains.
"No can do, Hicca. Meatlug and I have a lot of catching up to do and teaching Iggy a few things as well." Fishlegs says and Hicca smiles.
