Chapter 11: A View to a Skrill Part II

Hicca, with her shield on her back, and Toothless have been searching for the Twins for hours with no luck.

"Ruff! Tuff!" Hicca shouts searching high and low for the twins.

"Hicca." Toothless says.

"I know, sweetie. It's getting late. But we gotta keep looking." Hicca says.

"But you also need sleep. Especially to keep yourself looking beautiful." Toothless says.

"Flattery with get you, your brothers and sisters everywhere." Hicca says kissing the top of Toothless' head making him blush.


They then return to the academy at night, and Fishlegs meets them at the entrance after finishing her search.

"Hicca, any sign of them yet?" Fishlegs asks.

"None. The other riders have come in for the night. They're resting their dragons as well as most of mine." Hicca says.

"I don't blame them. I mean, look at Meatlug. She's sleep-flying." Fishlegs says looking at her Gronckle to see lava dripping from her mouth.

"Oh, excuse me. Not very lady like." Meatlug says embarrassed.

"I got some provisions. I'm going back out." Hicca says.

"Wait, what are you gonna do, fly all night?" Fishlegs asks in shock.

"If I have to, yes." Hicca says walking towards Toothless.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Fishlegs asks.

"Well, I can't rest knowing the twins are lost out there somewhere." Hicca says mounting her Night Fury.

"You're right. I-we'll go with you." Fishlegs says with a sigh but then Meatlug bumps into her. "Ugh!" She grunts as she sees her dragon has fallen asleep.

"No, looks like you guys need some rest. I'll be fine. But just to be safe I'm gonna bring Melt in case we need a quick blend in." Hicca says handing Fishlegs the lantern and pulling out her flute making a Changewing roar and then Toothless takes off into the air as Fishlegs looks towards the village and see Melt chase after the two.


During their search, lightning erupts around the lone human and two dragons.

"You know, maybe we've been looking at this whole thing the wrong way." Hicca says.

"What do you mean, Hicca?" Melt asks.

"Maybe the twins went after the Skrill. The Skrill is attracted to lightning. Maybe if we find the Skrill, we find Ruff and Tuff. And it can't hurt, right?" Hicca asks.

"Those two couldn't find their way out of cave with the exit right in front of them." Toothless says growling.

"Toothless, that's mean and besides we've tried everything else. Come on, boys." Hicca says and they fly off into the thunderclouds.

However, their flying becomes risky and difficult as they are unable to avoid the lightning strikes at the storm, due they wore a lot of metal and is easy to get electrocuted.

"Whoa! Watch your tail, sweetie!" Hicca shouts as another lightning bolt strikes. "Ah! Ow! And I'll watch my leg. Melt keep up." She says.

"I will you just make sure you two stay safe." Melt says to his rider and brother.

Lightning continues to strike all around them making it more difficult to fly properly.

"Hang in there, Toothless!" Hicca shouts taking out a spy glass and looks through it but then lightning strikes behind her near her shield. "Okay! Gronckle Iron and lightning. Not a terrific combo. Come on, sweetie. Get us outta here." She says.

"With pleasure." Toothless says and quickly makes his way out of the thunderclouds with Melt behind him.

Once they were safely out of the storm they look down to see a familiar island.

"Outcast island." Hicca says.

"No way." Toothless says remembering the last time they came, or more precisely brought to that island.

"I know, sweetie. But we got no choice. We have to set down and wait out the storm." Hicca says as Toothless dives downward with Melt.

"At least this time you're not alone." Melt says assuring his brother.


As soon as they land, Hicca silently tells her dragons to stay put while she takes a look.

"That's a lot of Outcasts. What are you up to, Alvin?" Hicca asks herself out loud.

"All I know is he's planning something big with that Skrill." Ruffnut says appearing right next to her.

"Alvin has the Skrill? Wait-Ruff? You're-you're alive!" Hicca shouts excitedly hugging her best friend as she returns the hug. "I-I don't believe it! Where-Where's Tuff?" She asks.

"He didn't make it, Hicca." Ruffnut says sadly.

"What?" Hicca asks wide eyed and in shock.

"Kidding! He's right behind you." Ruffnut says gesturing to the tree behind Hicca.

"What's up, Hicca? Cool disguise, huh?" Tuffnut asks laughing revealing the tree to be hollow. "It's kinda itchy." He says.

"Uh, yeah. Not bad." Hicca says.

"Yeah, yeah, Tuff hollowed out that tree so he couldn't be seen. Problem is he can't move." Ruffnut says.

"And I have bark beetles in my pants. I'm starting to like them." Tuffnut says.

"Oh gods, this kid is so weird." Toothless says and grimaces.

"Hey, fellas. A little to the left. Really scratch around down there. See what you can find." Tuffnut says to the bugs in the hollow tree.

"That's an image I could do without. Wait a second, how did you guys end up here?" Hicca asks.

"Alvin grabbed the Skrill out of the water. We decided to follow it. And knowing you, you probably still want to tame it so we knew you'd show up sooner or later." Ruffnut says.

"Weird, right?" Tuffnut asks.

"No! Actually, it was good that you followed it." Hicca says.

"We knew that. That's…why we did it." Tuffnut says.

"Okay. Let's figure out what Alvin plans on doing with that dragon." Hicca says pulling out her spy glass.

Down in the Outcast Arena, Alvin and Savage walk in with lightning still continuing to strike all around.

"Bring it out!" Alvin orders his men as they all grunt while pulling on the leaches around the Skrill.

Back up on the hill with the riders and dragons.

"Yep. There it is." Hicca says.

"Yeah." Tuffnut says not able to see.

"Man! This is not good." Hicca says.

"No." Tuffnut says agreeing.

"We are in serious trouble." Hicca says.

"With a capital "T"-no, "S." Wait, would you capitalize "serious" or "trouble"? Both?" Tuffnut asks but Hicca and Ruffnut glare at the tree and grunt angrily. "I'll shut up now." He says.

"Hang on." Hicca says and sees at familiar figure. "Mildew." She says but then sees something else. "That's weird. Those look like Berserker soldiers." She says and then sees Dagur walking into view. "Dagur! Dagur and Alvin together. With the Skrill? Really not good." She says watching the two leaders shake hands as their dragons growl angrily.

From the Outcast Arena, Dagur joyfully takes a closer look of the Skrill as thunder claps throughout the sky.

"The Skrill, dragon of my people." Dagur says watching the dragon roar struggling to get free. "So beautiful! So supple! So furious!" He says but then hears Mildew grumbling.

"The only thing a dragon understands is a staff to the snout." Mildew says raising his staff ready to hit the Skrill.

"Touch him with that stick and I'll make you eat it." Dagur says glaring at the old man. "You have no idea what you're dealing with, do you?" He asks causing Mildew to stammer. "Because if you did, you'd have this dragon safely out of the storm." He says.

"And why is that?" Mildew asks.

"He draws his power from lightning…" Dagur says and gets a whiff of Mildew. "Smelly old man." He says.

"Bah, that's nothing but an old dragon's tale." Mildew says but then the Skrill starts sparking and fires a lightning blast at Dagur but he side steps causing it to strike Mildew making him groan.

"Man, I love it when I'm right." Dagur says laughing as Mildew starts babbling unable to speak properly while Dagur continues to cackle.

"Yes!" Savage shouts as he and two other Outcast soldiers get the Skrill out of the storm.

"Not to worry, baby. When we get you all harnessed up, you'll be free to strike anyone you want. Or, more precisely, anyone I want." Dagur says cackling watching the Skrill sparking.

"Ah, the Skrill isn't yours yet, Dagur. You'll get your prize, but only after you fulfill the terms of our deal." Alvin says as Dagur smiles for a second and then walks away past a babbling Mildew.

"Remind me again why we're dealing with this lunatic." Savage says.

"His knowledge of the Skrill and the size of his fleet. We need both to make sure we reclaim Berk. After we have, we'll dispose of 'em all." Alvin says keeping an eye on Dagur.


Back on the hill, Hicca watched the whole event through her spy glass and then comes up with a plan.

"We have to sneak into town and find out what Dagur and Alvin are up to. I can't go, they'd recognize me. Ruff?" Hicca asks turning to her best friend.

"Outcast food gives me gas. Plus I don't think Dagur allows women into his armada." Ruffnut says using her brain.

"Yet another image I can live without and that's a good point. Okay, Tuff! Looks like you're up. You need to go down there and get as much info as you can without being seen." Hicca says.

"Way ahead of you. I'll move like the wind. They won't even see me coming!" Tuffnut says and begins crawling down the hill but ends up slipping and falls down screaming and grunting.

"Melt, go with him and make sure his cover doesn't get blown." Hicca says to her Changewing.

"Knowing him, that just might happen anyway." Melt says disappearing.

"Oh!" Tuffnut shouts as he slides across the ground to an Outcast guard. "That was great!" He says with a sigh.

"Halt! What are you doing there? And who are you?" The Outcast guard asks pointing his spear at Tuffnut.

"Who am I? I'm, uh…I'm Buffnut. Yep! That's it! Berserker Buffnut "BB," they call me. Ol' Buffynut. I was sent by Dagur to check your defenses. Yep! I gotta check 'em out. See if they're strong." Tuffnut says unaware of Melt behind him, invisible.

"Seriously?" Melt asks.

"Oh, yes! Yes, sir! I'm ready for anything." The Outcast guard says.

"I don't believe it." Melt says in shock and disbelief.

"Okay. Good! Now, where's the big meeting? You know, the pow wow." Tuffnut says.

"You mean Alvin and Dagur?" The Outcast guard asks.

"Did you seriously just ask me that, soldier? If you think I know the answer, you are sorely mistaken, mister. Did you just ask me that? I've forgotten." Tuffnut says.

"Uh, so do you want to know?" The Outcast guard asks confused.

"Don't sass me! I'm still talking about whether or not you did seriously just ask me that!" Tuffnut yells getting in the guard's face.

"Alvin's throne room. Just opposite the harbor. They're celebrating the treaty, sir." The Outcast guard says pointing to his right.

"Awesome. Ju-uh, just…uh, stand there, at attention. Straight-straight back. A healthy spine is a happy spine. My fine fellow." Tuffnut says.

"Unbelievable." Melt says following the rider.

"Yes, sir!" The Outcast guard says and sighs as Tuffnut leaves.

At Alvin's throne room, negotiations for the Berserkers and Outcasts invasion of Berk drag on.

"All right, Dagur. Let's talk strategy." Alvin says.

"Ooh! Strategy! Strategy! I love strategy! You first." Dagur says pointing at Alvin.

"Fine. My fleet will lead-" Alvin begins to say.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah." Dagur says slowly getting up.

"Wha?" Alvin asks.

"Let me stop you there, big boy. Try this on for size. My fleet, led by the glorious Skrill, will lay siege to the dragon training arena…" Dagur begins to explain as he puts one of his soldiers in a headlock.

"Gah!" The Berserker soldier shouts in pain.

"And incapacitate Hicca and her Night Fury as well as the rest of her dragons." Dagur says letting go his the soldier.

"Ahh!" The Berserker soldier yelps and begins coughing.

"While you and your little fleet of rejects blockade their harbor." Dagur finishes.

"I don't think so, Dagur." Alvin says chuckling.

"Whoa!" Tuffnut says spotting a table full of food.

"First, I get Berk. Then, and only then, do you get the Skrill." Alvin says.

"Really?" Dagur asks.

"Yeah. Really." Alvin says sternly.

"Geez, Al. Don't get your skivvies in a bunch. Fine. We'll do it your way." Dagur says.

"Remind me why we're working with him again." Vorg asks.

"Because we want that Skrill. Once we have it, we'll dispose of him. And I was thinking, there are some really, really fun ways we could do that. See, uh-" Dagur begins to say but then hears chewing and slurping. "Who is smacking their food! I hate smacking! My father used to smack!" He shouts.

"Sorry. I hate it when my mouth does that." Tuffnut says laughing while spitting out the meat. "Cut it out, mouth! Shut up, nose! They don't like each other." He says.

"Who are you?" Dagur asks holding his axe to Tuffnut's throat making him gulp.

"Uh, me? I'm, uh-I'm Buffnut. You know, Buffnut the Berserker." Tuffnut says.

"You're one of mine? What were you doing back there?" Dagur asks.

"Uh, well, I was, uh, composing a poem in honor of your new deal with Alvin, and I got hungry, 'cause poetry is very exhausting. Geez, you gotta have a little something every six lines." Tuffnut says.

"A poem, eh? Let me hear it. If I like it, I won't chop your legs off." Dagur says but Tuffnut remains silent. "Now!"He yells.

"Uh…okay, yeah, definitely need those legs for the running and walking stuff. There once was a village called Berk, run by a big Viking jerk. Blasting him would be thrilling, then you'd go a-skrilling, and show us how to be…berserk?" Tuffnut asks at the end.

"I…would go…a-skrilling?" Dagur asks and then begins laughing. "I like it! You can keep your legs! In fact, yak ribs and burly cakes for my friend, Buffnut! But no smacking. I hate smacking!" He growls pointing his axe at Tuffnut.

Mildew walks in to get some food and quickly recognizes Tuffnut, though he is unable to warn Dagur and Alvin due to being still unable to speak English.

"Poff-nuk!" Mildew babbles.

"Oh, what is your village babbler going on about now?" Dagur asks.

"Uh, so did I mention how much I hate Berk?" Tuffnut asks laughing as he shoves Mildew away. "Hey, directions to Berk! North till you smell it, west till you step in it. Am I right, people? Come on." He says and everyone erupts in laughter.

"Ah! Hurb durble!" Mildew continues to babble.

"Great idea, babbler! A song! I should sing a song. So… Hooligan tribe, won't you come out tonight Come out tonight, come out tonight Hooligan tribe, won't you come out tonight Or die by the light of the moon Oh, by the light of the moon Oh, by the light of the moon Remember to use your fork and your knife And also use your spoon " Tuffnut sings as everyone laughs.

"Snerk! Snerk!" Mildew still babbles. "Oof! Ahh!" He groans after Tuffnut elbows him in the face knocking him out.

"Nobody likes a heckler." Tuffnut says as everyone continues to laugh. "Right?" He asks.

"I can't believe he's actually pulling this off." Melt says shocked.


Hours later, Tuffnut informs what he learned from the negotiations of Dagur and Alvin.

"The plan is to smash those dirty Berkians to pieces with both fleets. It's gonna be awesome." Tuffnut says.

"Uh, you do realize we're the Berkians?" Hicca asks.

"I take back my awe statements." Melt says glaring at the male twin.

"Oh, right. Still gonna be awesome." Tuffnut says.

"Two fleets and a Skrill are gonna be pretty tough to beat." Hicca says.

"No, Alvin has made it pretty clear. Dagur doesn't get the Skrill until after they destroy Berk. I think they have trust issues." Tuffnut says getting Hicca's attention.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Hicca asks.

"I said they have trust issues." Tuffnut says.

"No, you said Dagur doesn't get the Skrill until after the attack. Think about it. No Skrill, no alliance. No alliance, no invasion. Tuff, I need you to get back into town and distract the arena guards. Melt will be with you to make sure nothing happens and if it does, he'll get you out of there fast. Toothless and I are going to free that Skrill." Hicca says.

"Uh, hang on a sec. I'm pretty sure Dagur threatened to cut my legs off." Tuffnut informs the group.

"So?" Ruffnut asks not seeing the problem.

"Just wanted to get that out there." Tuffnut says but sees the girls and dragons stare at him. "Ah, fine! I'm going. And my legs are on your head." He says pointing at his sister. "But not-I mean, not-you know what I'm saying. You'll be thinking about these legs if I…lose 'em." He says walking away.

"I'm going to need lots of ice for this headache after this." Melt says turning invisible and following the boy.


Moments later, Hicca sees the guards already knocked unconscious.

"Good job, Tuff. That was quick." Hicca says assuming Tuffnut was the one who did it.

"But where is he? And Melt for that matter?" Toothless asks.

But actually Tuffnut is goofing around with the Outcasts.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay. I-I got another one. How do you get a one-armed Berkian out of a tree?" Tuffnut asks.

"How?" An Outcast soldier asks.

"You wave." Tuffnut says and they erupt with laughter. "That's assuming that he isn't just sitting on a branch." He says.

"Ah, you kill us, Buffnut." The Outcast soldier says.

"Oh, stop! You-you guards-you guys are just saying that. I almost said "guards." Wait. Guards? Aren't I supposed to be doing something with guards?" Tuffnut asks.

'Of course you are!' Melt shouts in his mind and smacks Tuffnut with his tail making him remember his job and runs off.

"Oh, hey, don't leave! Oh, tell the one about the Viking girl with the woolly igloo." The Outcast soldier says.


Back at the Outcast Arena, Hicca and Toothless enter in search of the Skrill but once they reach its cage they find it empty.

"It's gone!" Hicca shouts.

"Oh, good. I thought I was too late. Nice job with those guards, by the way." Tuffnut says panting dropping into the arena with Melt making himself visible again.

"Wha-what are you talking about? And where's the Skrill?" Hicca asks.

"Uh-oh." Tuffnut says.

"Uh, yeah, "uh-oh."" Hicca says.

"Well, if you don't have the Skrill, and I don't have the Skrill, then who has the Skrill?" Tuffnut asks but then hears a distant scream.

"Gotta go. Melt." Hicca says as Melt turns invisible in front of them making them invisible too as the watch Outcast soldiers enter the arena.

"The Skrill is gone! Sound the alarm!" An Outcast soldier shouts as they leave.

"Tuff, you go get Ruff. I'm gonna try and find that Skrill before Dagur does." Hicca says mounting Toothless and leaves with Melt following.


Moments later, Dagur and his men is seen fleeing but is stop by Alvin.

"Going somewhere, Dagur?" Alvin asks on his own command ship.

"I go where I want, Alvin." Dagur says.

"Not with our Skrill, you don't." Alvin says.

"It's not yours. It was never yours. Hello! It's on my belt buckle. It's on my sail, my shields!" Dagur yells.

"We had a deal, Dagur!" Alvin shouts.

"Yeah, uh, about that deal, I just changed the terms." Dagur says using his axe to cut a rope to reveal the Skrill in a harness.

"I'll cut you to pieces!" Alvin roars pulling out his sword and jumping onto Dagur's command ship.

"Oof! You'll try!" Dagur says and begins fighting with Alvin but because of his size, Alvin has the upper hand.

"Give me back my Skrill!" Alvin shouts charging at Dagur again.

"It was never your Skrill, Alvin. It's ours! It's always been ours! Take that!" Dagur shouts kicking Alvin in the stomach laughing.

Hicca flies overhead and watches but none of them notice her, Toothless, or Melt.

"Yes!" Dagur shouts but then gasps as barely dodges Alvin's sword slash.

"You can't run forever, boy!" Alvin yells as Dagur jumps over him to his men as they hand him the harnesses.

"Oh, I think it's time you did some running." Dagur says yanking on the harnesses causing the Skrill to spark up.

"Wha-" Alvin begins to ask in confusion. "Ah!" He shouts as he dodges a lightning blast shot at him.

Dagur yanks on the ropes again and Alvin avoids another blast.

"Whoa-ho-ho-ho." Dagur says but Alvin quickly jumps overboard into the water. "Tired of running? Wanna try swimming? That won't work either." He says jumping onto the railing of his ship.

Alvin dives under before Dagur yanks on the ropes again making the Skrill fire another lightning blast into the ocean and erupts with lightning, and Alvin is presumed to have been killed making Dagur laugh in victory.

"Well, that takes care of that." Dagur says but then sees Savage and the other Outcast coming towards them. "Savage, I have a one-time offer for you and your men. You can join me, or you can join Alvin. Your choice." Dagur says as the Skrill roars.

With their leader gone, Savage and the Outcasts surrenders to Dagur and pledge their loyalty to him.

"That's not good. I need to come up with a new plan, boys, and fast." Hicca says to her Night Fury and Changewing.

"No kidding." Toothless and Melt say together.


Hours later, both fleets are ready for their invasion.

"The fleet is ready to sail to Berk…sir." Savage says to his new leader.

"Excellent! Now that this whole Alvin thing is behind us, we can lure Hicca and her Night Fury into battle!" Dagur shouts.

"Why wait? I'm right here, Dagur. Me and my Night Fury." Hicca says hovering in the air on Toothless with Melt watching from a distance, invisible.

"Hicca." Dagur says.

"I thought we could settle this like real Vikings, just you and me." Hicca says tauntingly making Dagur grunt.

"Sir, don't let her bait you. We have the advantage in numbers. Ugh!" Savage shouts as Dagur pushes him out of the way and grabs the captured Skrill.

"Me and my Skrill against you and your Night Fury?" Dagur asks yanking on the ropes making the Skrill screech. "I like those odds. Take that!" He yells making the Skrill fire lightning.

Dagur relentlessly attack Hicca and Toothless with the Skrill driving them further into the island.

"Oh, ho, ho, ho!" Dagur laughs and follows after Hicca and her Night Fury.

Hicca looks down and spots a wet spot on a cliff and waits on the other side.

"Want to see superior warrior-ness? Just keep watching!" Dagur yells.

"Really, Dagur? I'm still here. Fire, Toothless, now!" Hicca shouts.

"Take this!" Toothless yells firing Plasma Blasts at the Skrill but it blocks them with its lightning.

"That's it?" Dagur asks giggling. "Huh! I was hoping for something more challenging." He says chuckling.

"So was I." Hicca says tauntingly. 'Just a little closer.' She thought seeing Dagur place one foot in the wet spot.

'One more step.' Toothless thought knowing Hicca's plan as he dodges lightning blasts and fires more Plasma Blasts.

Dagur finally places his other foot on the wet spot making Hicca smirk.

"Any last words, Hicca?" Dagur asks.

"I got nothing. How 'bout you, sweetie?" Hicca asks.

"None that I can say in your presents and that he can understand." Toothless says and fires a single Plasma Blast making the Skrill fires back also, the lightning at its blast begins to fly down towards Dagur and he is painfully electrocuted.

"Aah!" Dagur shouts as he is thrown off the cliff but once he gets up, he pants heavily. "Aah!" He shouts in pain and losses consciousness.

"I really don't think he's going to be leading an invasion anytime soon." Hicca says.

"Agreed." Toothless says but then dodges a lightning blast.

"Wish I could say the same for this guy!" Hicca shouts as Toothless takes off into the air.


The Skrill gives chase firing lightning blasts at them relentlessly. Melt sees then and flies after them to try and help.

"We need to lose it." Hicca says.

"I'm open to ideas." Toothless says.

Hicca looks around and spots a large iceberg to her right and thinks of a plan.

"Actually, scratch that. We need it. to follow us." Hicca says and directs Toothless to the iceberg.

The Skrill fires a lightning blast causing a massive block of ice to brake off of the iceberg and fall at Hicca and Toothless.

"Ah!" Hicca screams as they are almost crushed by the ice but luckily manage to maneuver between it and the iceberg itself. "Whoa!" She screams as they avoid more lightning but fly out of control. "Down, Toothless, into that cut in the glacier." She says.

"Okay. I hope you know what you're doing, Hicca." Toothless says and flies into the iceberg.

The Skrill continues to pursue them, but when Hicca and Toothless momentarily lose him.

"Toothless, up there! Tight turn!" Hicca shouts.

The Skrill follow after them and spots them. It then charges head on, but is fooled that it was only a reflected image by the ice and the Skrill is knocked out unconscious for a second.

"Good work, sweetie!" Hicca says but then there was a loud rumbling as a chunk of ice falls and lands on the Skrill's tail making it roar in pain.

"Let's get out of here." Toothless says.

"No. I can't leave it like that. It's just too cruel." Hicca says dismounting her Night Fury and slowly makes her way towards the Skrill.

The Skrill sees her making her way towards itself with her right hand stretched and starts sparking up growling at her.

"It's okay. It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. I want to help but you have to let me." Hicca says keeping her right hand out to the dragon.

The Skrill was still unsure about trusting Hicca but seeing as how its tail was trapped, it ultimately took a chance and placed it's snout against Hicca's palm.

"Thank you. Now hold still and I'll get that ice off your tail." Hicca says moving towards the Skrill's tail.

Hicca struggles at first to push the ice off the tail but after another strong push Hicca manages to push the ice off and the Skrill slowly stands on its hind legs and stares at Hicca in the eyes.

"You're a strange girl, you know that, right?" The Skrill asks in a deep male voice.

"I get that a lot." Hicca says smiling sweetly making the Skrill blush but stares into the Skrills eyes and notices something. "Hold on for a second." She says getting up and making her way to Toothless and reaches into his saddle pouch and pulls out a canteen and towel and walks back over to the Skrill. "Hold still for me." She says and pours water into his eyes.

"What are you doing?" The Skrill asks in a demanding tone as she takes the towel and begins rubbing his eyes.

"There, how's that?" Hicca asks as she sees the Skrill's eyes are no longer blood red.

"Wow. Much better. I've had dirt in my eyes ever since I got frozen and it's been bothering me and driving me crazy." The Skrill says.

"I can imagine. Having dirt in my eyes would drive me crazy too. Now let me bandage up your tail" Hicca says smiling making the Skrill blush again as she carefully wraps the Skrill's injured tail.

"Thank you. Anyways, can you tell me how you can understand me and other dragons?" The Skrill asks.

"You see this scar?" Hicca asks showing her scar to the dragon and he nods. "When I was three years old I had an encounter with a wild bloody dragon that slashed me and left me with this scar. Some of that dragon's blood seeped into me and as years passed different things happened. At first I could sense when dragons were nearby and later I could feel their emotions. Once I met Toothless over there I could understand dragons whenever I touch them with my right hand." She says gesturing to her Night Fury and sees Melt arrive and set down next to Toothless. "That's Melt, he's another one of my twelve dragons." She says.

"So the legend is true." The Skrill says getting Hicca, Toothless, and Melt's attention.

"Legend?/Legend?" Hicca, Toothless, and Melt ask.

"Back before I was frozen there was a legend that said a human would one day obtain our blood and be about to connect with dragons as soon as contact was made and be able to bring peace between both humans and dragon kind for good." The Skrill says shocking all three present. "Naturally, I just assumed it was just a hollow dream. But seeing you and hearing about you gift as well as being about to collect twelve different dragons, I'm starting to believe it will be a reality." He says.

"I hope it will be too." Hicca says with a smile.

"Hicca, I have a request." The Skrill says.

"What is it?" Hicca asks.

"I know we got off on the wrong foot and everything since then hasn't helped either but I would like to become your dragon and help make this legend a reality too. That is if you'll let me." The Skrill says and in half a second Hicca wraps her arms around his neck in a tight hug.

"Of course you can be my dragon!" Hicca shouts excitedly as her two other dragons sigh shaking their heads.

"She never ceases to amaze me." Melt says.

"That's our Hicca for you." Toothless says with a smile.

"Now all you need is a name." Hicca says and begins thinking for a moment. "Hmm. Spark? No. Shock? No, no, no, not good enough. You need a name that gives as much voltage as you do. Wait, that's it. Voltage." She says.

"Voltage? I like it." Voltage says with a smirk.

"Well then Voltage, let's get out of here and back to Berk." Hicca says mounting Toothless.

"I'll follow you, Hicca." Voltage says as Toothless takes off with Melt right behind him and Voltage was about to take off after his new rider when something catches his eye. "Wait, is that?" Voltage asks seeing a figure in the ice but then feels the cave rumble and quickly leaves before he could get a better look.

Hicca, Toothless, and Melt exit the cut in the ice and look around but don't see Voltage.

"Where's Voltage?" Hicca asks in worry but then hears an explosion behind her and turns to see the twins, Barf and Belch arrive.

"Hey, why do you get to have all the fun?" Tuffnut asks.

"Yeah, this job was made for us." Ruffnut says as they fly down and begin releasing gas in the cut.

"No, guys, wait!" Hicca shouts but it was too late.

Belch ignites the gas causing an explosion occurs causing the ice to melt into water and fill the cave fast. Luckily Voltage managed to get out before the water could freeze.

"I've been frozen once and don't wish to be frozen again, thank you." Voltage says shaking the water off him making Hicca release a sigh of relief as Toothless sets down next to him with Melt on the other side.

"Hicca the Skrill is right next to you." Tuffnut says.

"Hold still and we'll blast it." Ruffnut says.

"Guys, the Skrill is now my dragon and his name is Voltage." Hicca says reaching over and scratching Voltage's chin.

"Oh, right there, right there." Voltage says purring.

"She has the magic touch, doesn't she?" Toothless says to his new brother.

"Oh yeah. She does." Voltage says happily.

"Both figuratively and literally." Melt says watching his new brother enjoying the treatment they all love.

"Okay, then what was the point of having us try to refreeze it again?" Tuffnut asks.

"It was just a precaution incase I could tame Voltage but now I have. Now, let's go home." Hicca says.

"Thought you'd never ask." Ruffnut says smiling.

"I am gonna miss some of those Outcast guys. Thought they could really carry a tune." Tuffnut says.

"I know, right?" Ruffnut asks.

Hooligan tribe, won't you come out tonight Come out tonight, come out tonight

"Well, I won't miss Dagur, that's for sure. And don't worry, Voltage, I'll keep you safe no matter what." Hicca says to her new Skrill.

"The same goes for you, Hicca." Voltage says to his new rider and then they all fly off after the twins.

"Uh, they could carry a tune, not you." Ruffnut says.


Meanwhile, back on Outcast Island, in Alvin's former throne room, there were pictures of the dragon riders and their dragons.

"The fleet has returned, Dagur. No sign of the Skrill or the dragon riders." Savage informs his leader.

Dagur grunts in anger and drives a knife into the picture of the Night Fury.
