Aaaand we're back to Astrid's POV. This is my FIRST update today, so sorry it took me so long. Been doing a lot of work, trying to recover from a cold/cough/thing, I'm sure you all know how it is. :) Anyways, shout-outs:

silverwolvesarecool: I know what you mean. I just want Hiccup to train the Skrill so that way they can take it and go after that deranged lunatic and give him what he deserves. Only I think Hiccup's too nice to actually intentionally hurt Dagur like that. Unless he absolutely had to. :) And YES, I am REALLY enjoying your crossover! It's awesome! You are a very talented writer! :)

Guest (#1): Yeah, I know what you mean. But Stoick knows when he needs to be calm about something. It wouldn't have helped Hiccup if he just freaked out, if you know what I mean. But yeah, I would totally be freaking out if I were in his position. :)

Jesusfreak: Umm...I have no idea! How many species did Moses put on the ark? :) And wow...a Mirror and rain. I should have got those. :) Anyways, the answer to my riddle is Time. :) It's tricky. I didn't get it either when my friend told it to me. :) Yup, cliffhangers. They get worse. I have SO MUCH more planned for this story. :)

amillipede: Yeah, I know. Poor guy.

Guest (#2): I haven't played that game before, but yeah, it was an intense scene. Poor Hiccup...

Guest (#?): I think that would be easier for me. :) That way, I'm not all like "Okay, which guest is this?" If you could do that, that would be great. Flying bananas? I won't ask any more questions...XD!

freyathefearless: I apologize for the suspense, but hey! It keeps the readers reading! :) And for your riddle...is it the moon? :) That is a great riddle! I have to tell one of my friends that, see if they get it! I love riddles! :D And to let you know, "To Help Your Leader", right now, is WAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of everything else as far as votes go, so it seems as though I will be writing that one next. I will write it as soon as this story is finished. :)

Seryyth: I suppose that's why I always have so many cliffhangers; makes the readers wonder "What's gonna happen next?" :) I know I feel like that every time I read a cliffhanger! :D

Wanli8970: You will find out what the memory was from in this chapter. :) Or, will you...?

QueenAurora: I have NO IDEA about the first and second one, but is the third answer stars? I don't know. My mind does not want me to think right now. XD!

xFaerieValkyriex: Dagur...I JUST WANT TO...I DON'T KNOW! SOMEONE CAPTURE HIM AND LOCK HIM IN PRISON! MAKE HIM PAY FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE TO HICCUP!

Wow, Hiccup. You really know how to end a chapter (sarcasm). While I'm here, I guess I should tell you what the others and I did after Hiccup flew back to his house after the visit with Gothi, before he had his nervous breakdown.

I had been a little hurt by what he had said about us never listening, and then just leaving without fully explaining his thoughts, but I guessed I really couldn't have blamed him. We didn't listen to him half the time, and now he had amnesia on top of that, also not to mention a wounded shoulder.

He flew off to his house without another word. I had turned to the other riders and looked at them.

"We should have a meeting," I had said. "Let's meet up at the academy."

We had flown off towards said location, landed, dismounted, and met in a circle at the very middle of the academy.

"Why would Hiccup say something like that?" Fishlegs had ventured. "I try my best to listen to him."

"Yeah, but be honest with yourself, Fishlegs," I had replied. "We don't always listen to him. We don't always really take what he says into consideration. We're not always the bestest of friends to him either, are we?"

"But we try at least," Snotlout had said angrily. "He's not even trying to bear with us, it seems."

"Would you be any different in his place?" I had said.

"No," Fishlegs had answered for him. "He'd be a gazillion times worse."

"HEY!" Snotlout had shouted.

"Guys, you're getting off topic again!" I had said. "Right now, Hiccup just needs us to listen to him. To be friends with him. Not give him a hard time, or anything like that. Just help him. Listen to him. Open up to him. Show him that we would never hurt him, and would hurt anyone who tried to harm him."

The others had agreed. We had been just getting ready to head back off to our houses for sleep when Toothless came running into the academy. Without Hiccup.

"Toothless!" I had shouted, racing over. "Where's Hiccup? What's wrong?"

Toothless motioned to the door of the academy and then raced back out of it, turning back around and growling for us to follow. We did so without hesitation, racing after the Night Fury, completely forgetting that taking our dragons would have been faster.

Toothless lead us straight to the Haddock residence. He pushed the door open and stormed inside. Needless to say we had followed, but not before we heard someone shout in a very sad, pleading voice "STOP! STOP IT! PLEASE!"

But it wasn't just anyone's voice.

Hiccup's voice.

Toothless bounded up the stairs at once. We were about to do the same when we heard a sharp cry come from the loft.

"Hiccup!" we all shouted, racing up the stairs, skipping a few steps here and there. I stopped in the doorway and looked to the side and saw Hiccup sitting on the ground, clutching the sides of his head in his hands, his knees drawn up to his chest.

"Hiccup!" I shouted, racing forward and kneeling in front of him. I grabbed his wrist and pulled them away from his head, trying to find the cause for his pain. "Hiccup, Hiccup talk to me," I said, trying for a gentler approach.

The others ran in after me, kneeling in different places, surrounding our friend, trying to find out what was wrong with him (and failing miserably).

Hiccup cracked his eyes open. They were filled with terror and pain, along with other emotions I couldn't distinguish.

"Hiccup, what's wrong!?" I shouted, gripping his shoulders, being careful with the bad one, and then shook him desperately, trying to get him to respond. "Say something!" I shouted.

"What?" Hiccup mumbled, his eyelids fluttering as he fought to keep them open.

"Not that!" I shouted. "What happened!? What's wrong!?"

I hadn't expected him to answer, even though I was hoping he would have. Instead, he moaned heavily, and then fell over sideways, falling against my chest. His breathing evened out, and he went limp.

"Hiccup!" the others exclaimed behind me. I didn't even say anything, too shocked and worried to even find the words. Toothless roared and knocked Snotlout over in an attempt to see his rider. When he did, he cooed gently, obviously trying to wake his master.

"What happened!?" shouted Snotlout.

"H-he...he must have...passed out...or fainted...or..." I started, breaking off. "Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, go get Stoick. Fishlegs, go get Gothi."

They instantly nodded and ran off, leaving me and Toothless behind. I readjusted Hiccup in my arms and picked him up, carrying him over to his bed and laying him down as gently as I could manage. I didn't even try to think about what had happened as I pulled the blanket over his body. Toothless plunked down beside the bed and laid his head on Hiccup's chest, looking to me frantically for an answer I didn't have.

My eyes caught sight of an open notebook on Hiccup's desk. Moving over to investigate, I picked it up and looked at the page he had been updating. To my surprise, it was a perfectly detailed picture of Stormfly.

Why was it Stormfly, I didn't know. But I was awed by the mere detail of the drawing; the horns on her head, her claws, her slightly pointed muzzle...how did Hiccup just remember all this? Stormfly certainly hadn't posed for him. It could have been good that he was remembering enough to be able to draw a perfectly detailed Nadder who didn't even pose for the picture.

I closed the notebook, feeling as if I had been snooping, and then looked back to Hiccup and Toothless. I felt Hiccup's forehead; he didn't have a fever, or any trace of an illness. So what happened?

Worried, I moved downstairs and opened the ice chest. Since it was naturally cold in Berk, the ice blocks inside said chest didn't melt, unless you placed it too close to the fire. I grabbed an ice block and made my way back upstairs. Nothing had changed, except Toothless now had his eyes closed, purring contentedly.

I smiled as I moved over and placed the block on Hiccup's forehead, holding it in place. Hiccup shuddered and opened his eyes, squinting up at me.

"Astrid?" he asked.

I nodded. "If you ever scare me like that again, I'll make amnesia look like a walk in the park," I said.

Hiccup frowned. "I wouldn't dream of it," he said. He hesitated. "I...I remembered something," he said. "Something...important."

I locked eyes with him. He remembered something? This was great news, if it be true.

"What was it?" I pressed.

"I...I was running," Hiccup said, hesitating at each word. "Someone...someone was chasing me, and...and I tripped, and then they fired a crossbow at me, and it hit me, and...I got up and ran again and found this building and I ran in...and I shouted "They're coming". I...I don't remember what happened after that."

I stared at him in shock. What was he talking about? But then I figured it out. I. Figured. It. Out.

"That's great!" I shouted.

Hiccup jumped. "You're really choked up about this, aren't you?" he said with an eye roll.

"No, I'm serious!" I shouted. "This is great! We finally have a lead!"

"A lead?" Hiccup frowned. "What lead?"

"I think I might know who shot you!" I explained.

Hiccup's eyes lit up as he rubbed his shattered shoulder, probably not even thinking about what he was doing. "Really!?" he asked, almost hopefully. "Who!?"

"Well..." I started, "does the name Dagur the Deranged mean anything to you?"
