Hello! Okay, in the last chapter, I forgot to mention that that was my THIRD update today. This chapter is my FOURTH, I believe (I kinda lost count. Oops). Now, some shout outs:

AnimeAngel: Aww! Thanks for the virtual soda! *accept it gratefully* You're so sweet! I'm glad you enjoy me updating quickly, too! I try not to be annoying with it...y'know... (Hiccup voice) I just see a fanfic and I just gotta...update it. You know, it's who I am, fans! :P

xFaerieValkyriex: "Dawn" kinda got me, too when I first heard the title. Dreamworks will make it good, I can guarantee that, no matter what the plot line. I mean, they have DRAGONS! You can't really mess up that easily! :D I'm lazy on just about everything but my school, my instruments, and my fanfictions. Everything else? Count me lazy for! :) I myself am excited about this fanfiction. The next two chapters after this one will be in Hiccup's POV, and then after that it will be in Valka's POV, and then back to the other Berkians on the search for the two missing Haddocks. So you can expect the worst for those four chapters. Lol. Seriously, though, be careful. Who knows what Dagur's got in store?

Other: THANKS a TON! (Imitating Hiccup's voice) This is AMAZING! YOU guys are AMAZING! Thanks SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! Free pancakes with toppings of choice! If you don't like pancakes, choose another random food! :D Have fun with this chapter!

"Toothless? Cloudjumper?"

Astrid looked and saw the two dragons, chained so their tails were just lightly grazing the ground, ropes around their muzzles, keeping their mouths shut (they were chained the same way Toothless was chained in "We Are Family Part II"). They both had their heads bowed until they heard Astrid's voice.

Toothless looked in front of him and saw Astrid racing towards them. He grunted as much as he could while muzzled, happy for one reason: now he could go look for Hiccup.

"Hang on, Toothless, hang on," said Astrid, yanking the ropes off his face before setting her axe to the chains. Beside her, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were working on Cloudjumper. Eret and Fishlegs raced towards Astrid to help her finish with Toothless while Gobber stood watch in front of the door.

As soon as the dragons were unchained, Astrid was able to assess their conditions. They both looked more worn out than before, but other than that, fine. Astrid could only hope Valka and Hiccup weren't in a worse position.

Toothless pounced around the room, sniffing around at random objects, trying to pick up his rider's scent. Cloudjumper was doing the same thing.

"Toothless, Cloudjumper!" shouted Astrid. "Come on, guys! We need to go out there to save Hiccup and Valka!"

Toothless and Cloudjumper both turned suddenly, facing towards the way out. The humans and dragons scrambled back up the steep hallway, trying to keep their balance as much as they could, although it was nearly impossible going up.

At length, although it seemed like forever, they finally made it to the top, panting like mad.

Astrid looked around, still gasping for much-needed oxygen, just as the other people and dragons were doing behind her.

"Do you have any idea where they're being kept?" asked Eret through bouts of his own gasping.

"Dagur won't be hiding them in plain view," said Astrid. "I mean...he already hid them on an undiscovered island. I don't think he wants us to find them."

"Obviously," said Tuffnut. "Or else he would put a sign up that says 'This way to the prisoners! Free admission!'"

"Be cool if they did though," Ruffnut complained.

"Guys!" Fishlegs exclaimed. "We have to find them!"

"I say we split up," said Snotlout.

"No, we can't do that," said Astrid. "There were ten Berserker ships docked on the shore, each possibly carrying up to thirty crewmates. If we split up, we'll be vulnerable. No, we have to stay together."

"The girl's got a point," said Gobber.

"Where do we look first?" asked Fishlegs.

"I say we circle the island, moving inward every now and then," Astrid suggested. "How else are we going to cover everything?"

"We split up," mumbled Tuffnut, earning an elbow in the side from Snotlout.

"Okay then," said Astrid. "Let's go get our dragons and start searching. We don't know how much time we have."

As they ran back to the spot where the dragons were waiting patiently, Astrid couldn't help but hope they had more time than she feared they were running out of. She couldn't imagine what Dagur was doing to Hiccup, and if she could, she didn't want to. It only made her feel worse.

Once they were back with their dragons, the others mounted theirs while Astrid mounted Toothless, knowing he couldn't fly on his own. She gave Stormfly the "follow" command and nodded to Cloudjumper, knowing that he would follow without even being told. He was a smart dragon, as were all Stormcutters, and Astrid trusted him to know what he was doing.

As the riders took off, flying close to the ground over the island, starting at the East shore and circling it, Astrid's mind wandered to Hiccup and Valka. She loved them both equally, but was thinking more about Hiccup than Valka. She had personally known Hiccup for five years, and had only known Valka for three months. She was worried for both of them, but knew Dagur would do for Hiccup over Valka any time, any day.

"Don't worry, Hiccup," said Astrid. "We're coming for you."
