Hayden ran through the woods in desperation as he searched for the beach. Once he reached the beach, he ran to a small boat the was waiting there. He had nearly reached the boat when a sudden blast of fire destroyed it. Hayden looked up and saw Astro riding Stormfly, "You can break out of jail as many times as you want, but you're not getting off this island."
Astro took Hayden back to the village prison and pushed Hayden inside.
Hayden was taken back to Berk. He was sentenced to life in prison for betrayal and abduction. He had been trying to escape since.
"Give it up, Hayden!" said Astro, slamming the cell door shut, "We have dragons!"
"Astro!" protested Hayden, "I have to get back to Outcast Island!"
"Yeah. I'm sure you do." Astro turned to leave.
Hayden ran to the cell door and pleaded, "Alvin has my parents!"
"Oh yeah?" scoffed Astro. He turned to the prisoner, "What happened to the pirates?"
Hayden sighed, "There were never any pirates. I made it all up so you'd let me stay. But I had too. Alvin will kill my parents if I don't do what he says. Please, Astro, you have to trust me."
"Well guess what, Hayden. We don't. Not anymore. Especially not Hiccup. Not after you threatened her. Do you realise what the punishment is for threatening the descendant of a chief? Even kidnapping them?"
Hayden sighed again, and hung his head in shame.
Astro chuckled, "I thought so." He walked out of the prison.
Astro returned to the arena, where Hiccup had the others practising the steps of a small plan she thought up. Snotlout launched a small boulder at Fishlegs and Meatlug from a catapult. Meatlug barely turned around and caught the boulder with her mouth. "Snotlout!" yelled Fishlegs, "That was way too close!"
Snotlout mocked Fishlegs in a whiny tone, "Quit whining Fishlegs!"
Meatlug shot a ball of fire at Snotllout, missing him by inches.
"Hey!" screamed Snotlout, "That almost hit me!"
Fishlegs smiled as he mocked back, "Quit whining Snotlout!"
"Guys! Please!" said Hiccup, "We have to get this right! The Outcasts won't come one at a time."
"No need to remind me, Hiccup." said Fishlegs, "I am already under enough stress."
Hiccup continued, "We're only going to have one shot at this."
Fishlegs raised his hand, "I thought I said 'I'm already under enough stress'."
The twins sprayed gas at Snotlout and ignited it. Snotlout jumped out of the gas a few seconds before the fire reached him.
"Too early Snotlout." said Astro, "We have to make sure that you jump out at the right moment."
"It's not me." said Snotlout, "It was them!" he pointed to the twins.
"Sorry." said Ruffnut. Tuffnut nodded, "We're still very excited about the new move."
Astro looked at Hookfang as he flailed his wings around in a rampage, his whole body on fire.
Hiccup tried to walk closer to reason with Hookfang, but the dragon didn't listen to her.
Astro looked at Snotlout, "Can you please do something about your dragon?"
Snotlout ran to Hookfang and grabbed the dragon's horns. He violently forced Hookfang's horns to the ground, and immediately, Hookfang collapsed and began purring, letting his body loose the flames.
"I found that out just yesterday. He likes it."
"Wait." stammered Fishlegs, "He actually likes it when you bend his horns to the ground?"
"Tuffnut does." said Ruffnut. She tackled her brother to the ground and held him down by his helmet.
Tuffnut smiled, "Oh yeah. I do kind of like it. The dirt's soft."
Astro ignored the twins as he explained, "Just get back to practising. The Outcasts could have an army coming after us right now."
"Well?" sang Snotlout, "We're waiting."
Strormfly hovered in the air. Hookfang blew a cloud of fire between her and the twins. Stormfly launched some spines from her tail and shot them through the fire. One of the flaming spines heat Tuffnut's helmet.
"Wow." said Tuff, "I like that too. Make a note."
"You know?" said Fishlegs, "It's nice that we're training without the book, but the problem is getting it back. Alvin's not just gonna give it to us."
Astro looked to Hiccup, "But, maybe he could give it to Hayden."
Fishlegs whispered, "I think Astro's been eating Dragon Nip again."
Astro elbowed Fishlegs in the gut.
As Fishlegs bent over in pain, he gestured to Astro, "Why is it always violence with you."
Astro smiled, "It's not violence, it's communication."
Hiccup looked at Astro in confusion, "So, we're just going to let Hayden go?"
Astro nodded, "Sort of."
"Yep," said Fishlegs, "Dragon Nip."
Astro punched Fishlegs in the stomach.
