"Wake up lazybones! Get your butts moving! We have a long day ahead of us." Ása screeched, waking up Kaity, Viggo, and Runa. The dragons were all up already and Dagfinn continued to sleep. Wisp walked over to wake him up again, but Frost stopped her.

"Wait. I have an idea." Frost stood over the sleeping Lava-Lout and charged up a bit of electricity. She shocked him, causing Dagfinn to jerk awake quite violently.

"AAAAAARRRRRRRRGH! WHAT THE HELL?" He screamed.

Frost smirked and Wisp licked Dagfinn's face. Frost walked over to her rider and leaned her head on Runa's shoulder. Ása tried to hide a grin and handed him a cooked fish. Kaity took her breakfast and ate it while gathering up supplies. Runa and Viggo were talking by their dragons.

"While this has been fun, we have to go home."

"C'mon Viggo. Can't we wait till they get to Berk?"

"No, and you know that. Berk still hates us. If we show them Frost and Flare, they'll assume we enslaved them and they'll try to take them."

"Yeah, you're probably right. You could give up the fight. Tell Hiccup you've seen the error of your ways and are willing to learn his culture."

"We'll see. I will do so if I can."

"Who is Hiccup?"

"I have no clue. Viggo offered friendship to me about ten minutes before Runa helped you."

"Are you guys asking who Hiccup is?"

The two dragons nodded and Viggo sighed. "Well, I was recently the leader of the Dragon Hunters. Hiccup is the leader of the Dragon Riders of Berk. He was my... nemesis of sorts."

"Dragon Hunters? You guys killed my mother!" This was Flare.

"And my baby brother, and three sisters." screamed Frost.

"And the dragon I was courting." Flare snarled again.

"I bet that you are listing dragons who went missing because of us, or complaining, and I'm sorry. I will give up leadership to my brother."

"What did Runa do in the Dragon Hunters?" This was of course, Frost who was curious what her rider did.

"Runa was my lead interrogator. She can be quite terrifying."

"I bet." Flare smirked.

"What will we do now that we have dragons?"

"I will give control of the Hunters to my brother."

"Is that wise?"
"*sigh* No, but other than changing the minds of the most severe dragon haters in and out of the Archipelago, there is no other option."

"Hey, Viggo, Runa! Are you guys heading off now?" Ása called to them, seeing the packs on their dragons' backs.

"Yes. We bid you farewell."

"Well, good luck then." Kaity called to them, putting her sword in its sheath on Twilight's saddle.

"Actually... I'm going to get going too... I want to be a vigilante in protecting dragons. I thank you for introducing me to this way of life." Dagfinn said sheepishly. He looked vulnerable for a moment and then the look was gone. Wisp curled her neck around him and purred. He scratched her head and grinned.

"So it'll just be us then?" Kaity asked, looking a bit disappointed.

"Guess so... I guess that's better. I don't know how well we can convince Stoick to let us have dragons along with other random people."

A breeze hit them and they all turned to see Runa and Viggo gone. The shapes of a Nadder and a Windwalker were high in the sky in the South.

"Well, I guess that's that." Dagfinn said. "Goodbye, Kaity. Ása. Thank you for everything." He hugged them both, and strapped a basket to his saddle. He stroked Wisp's frill and then mounted. He gazed down at Kaity and Ása, they could almost see tears in his eyes, and then he took off. The Hobblegrunt banked and flew Northeast. Kaity and Ása watched until he disappeared, and then sighed and finished packing.

Twilight licked Astrum's face as he stared in confusment at the baskets he now wore. Before he hadn't worn anything, because he'd just followed them, but now, he was. And Chalumeau thought it to be hilarious. He made that clear with his undying laughter. Astrum got fed up with it and spat a small fireball at the larger Sword Stealer.

"Haha. Hilarious. The new guy, that we just rescued has to wear a contraption to hold things. I'm dying of laughter." Astrum deadpanned.

"Oh, but it is funny." Chalumeau snickered back.

"It's really not."

"Suit yourself."

Astrum glared at him, and Twilight nuzzled under his chin. "Oh, don't worry about it. Ignore him."

"C'mon guys. You can argue later. Let's go." Ása snapped.

Kaity mounted Twilight after her dragon backed away Astrum, and Ása mounted Chalumeau. Nightfall bounded out of the forest, seemingly determined to come with them and they took off into the clouds on their final journey home.

The sun was sinking in to the sea for the night as the wolves of darkness chased it when they finally, FINALLY, made it to Berk. Several dark shapes flew overhead, and crawled through the village. One of them, a greenish shape, landed on a roof and settled down, another, bluish shape seemed to kneel down to let something off its back.

"Are those dragons?" Ása whispered in disbelief. What had become of the small village threatened by dragons because they were stubborn? WHAT had happened?

"And riders!" Nightfall said from behind, startling Twilight who'd temporarily forgotten about her.

"Riders... Wow... I don't know what to say." Ása said, still breathless.

""I do: YEEEESSSSSS!" Kaity screeched.

A/N: Star: :) Runa has her own story which will be out at some point later. However, as I said before, this is an AU, not only from the show, but from my other stories as well, so her character is darker. And, yeah, dragons usually mate in the air. :D Idk, itsi an idea I saw several other authors use, which I thought made sense. They'd go on a mating flight. Now you said something, I guess the mental image would be kind of funny. :D :D
