Hiccup then began to remember when he was a child, it was late at night, but he was unable to fall asleep. Hiccup was holding the toy dragon that his mother had given him when he was a very little, but to be honest the things scared him.

He went downstairs in order to get a drink only to find that his father sitting in front of the fireplace crying. He then remembered that today was the anniversary that his mother had been killed and it still left a mighty deep scar in his father's heart.

He was just about to make his way back to his room when Stoick heard him and looked up.

"Son!" said Stoick wiping away his tears. "You should be asleep."

"I was thirsty," said Hiccup timidly.

Stoick sighed and then extended his hand to him. "Yeah, come here."

Hiccup then began to climb down the stairs, leaving his toy dragon on them, and then ran up to his father. Stocik then lifted Hiccup into his lap and allowed him to use the tongs to stoke the fire.

"Dad? Are you gonna get us a new Mum?" Hiccup asked.

Stoick then gave him a big hug and kissed him on the head.

"I don't want another," he said looking at him. "Your mum was the only woman for me. She was the love of my life. But with love comes loss, son. It's part of the deal. Sometimes it hurts, but in the end, it's all worth it. There's no greater gift than love."


Hiccup still remembered those words when they were flying back to New Berk. He was now riding on top of Hiccup and the mood was quiet throughout the journey. Toothless was extremely depressed and Hiccup looked at Astrid and Ragnar and they weren't too about how things had ended.

They then landed on New Berk and Hiccup looked at Toothless then towards the building that was being built on a nearby cliff. After his little experience in the Hidden World, he knew there was no way that any of them could live down there. As wondrous as it was, it belonged to the dragons and Toothless was never going to be happy with him.

Hiccup remember about what Ragnar had said about his father freeing Thornado so that he could live with his new family. Hiccup loved Toothless, he helped him become the man he was today and the two had been inseparable ever since. However, Hiccup knew that he couldn't live without Astrid and he remembered how heartbroken his father had been when they for that his mother had been killed.

Hiccup sighed and walked in front of Toothless. "It's okay, bud. You belong there, with her. We don't."

Toothless looked as if he agreed, but he didn't look happy about abandoning Hiccup.

"And that's all right," Hiccup continued and placed a hand on his cheek. "We'll find a way to man—"

Toothless then suddenly shot up as he sensed something close by. They all turned and looked the grassy meadow and then surprisingly they saw the Light Fury's head poking out which made Toothless really excited.

"Hey!" Hiccup beamed and Toothless let his face and Hiccup laughed. "She followed us back!"

They then watched as Toothless and rushed over to the Light Fury and she began to jump around playfully on him.

"We might not have to say goodbye after all," Hiccup smiled.

"Don't you just love happy endings," Ragnar smiled.

Toothless licked the Light Fury and rushed back to Hiccup, though she was still a bit cautious when it came to humans. Toothless growled gently, tries to convince her to follow him. The Light Fury looks at where Hiccup and Astrid are and slowly starts to follow Toothless.

"That's it," said Hiccup.

It was that moment that Ruffnut appeared riding on the back of a Scuttleclaw.

"Woohoo! Yeah!" she cried.

"Ruffnut?" Astrid stared

"Miss me?" Ruffnut smiled spinning the air and tossing a helmet aside.

"How did you escape?" Astrid asked bewildered.

"I annoyed them till they let me go," she said spinning her braids.

Hiccup's eyes widened. "Wai-wait… Grimmel let you go?"

"So dumb," Ruffnut laughed.

Hiccup, Astrid and Ragnar looked at one another and they both knew that there was no way Grimmel would just let her go.

"They couldn't handle me," Ruffnut continued. "See, everyone thinks Tuffnut's more annoying but—"

"But hold on," said Astrid quickly.

"Just stay quiet for a few seconds," Ragnar pleaded.

Ruffnut frowned. Why? Don't tell me you think that I'm more annoying than Tuff—"

"Ruffnut! Focus. Were you followed?" Hiccup asked.

Ruffnut smiled. "I never look back, Hiccup."

Hiccup gasped in horror. "Toothless!"


The Light Fury was still slowly following Toothless through the tall grass.

"Toothless!" Hiccup cried.

The Light Fury stopped a moment and sniffed the air sensing danger nearby. She then immediately took to the air and growled Toothless to follow her. It was too late, a dart flew out of nowhere and struck her causing her to fall to the ground. Toothless quickly rushed to her aid as she was beginning to slide across the ground towards the edge of the cliff.

"Toothless! Come back!" Hiccup cried.

Toothless did appear to be listening as he continued to run towards the Light Fury. Then Grimmel appeared from behind a rock raising his crossbow. Toothless got ready to fire plasma blast, but Grimmel was too fast and fired one of his darts knocking him unconscious.

"No!" Hiccup cried.

Grimmel then began to change both Toothless and the Light Fury up just before Hiccup could get to him. Then his airship appeared lifting both dragons into the air just as Astrid, Ragnar and Ruffnut joined him.

"Now our little game must come to an end," said Grimmel.

Then flying out of the forest were all of Berk's dragons rushing to rescue their Alpha.

"Call them off, Alpha!" said Grimmel as he aimed a pulling directly at the Light Fury. "No reason for her to die, too!"

Toothless saw the dragons were flying towards him and immediately roared to prevent them from flying too close. They instantly followed his command just as the rest of the Riders appeared on the scene

"What are they doing?" said Snotlout. "They could totally take him!"

"Not with her life on the line," said Hiccup.

Toothless roared up at Grimmel's Deathgrippers flying around him trying to get them on his side. However, they nearly threatened him and showed no ounce of loyalty.

"Save your breath!" said Grimmel. "The only Alpha they respond to is me!"

Toothless gave up and looked down at Hiccup.

"Awww, don't feel too badly," said Grimmel. "You tried your best! But, you are nothing without your dragon."

He then whistled causing his Deathgrippers to fly to the other dragons and prevent them from flying past them. Grimmel then flew away and Toothless urges the other dragons to follow him anyway.

The dragons follow the command of their Alpha and Hiccup ran towards the edge of the cliff.

"Toothless!" Hiccup cried.

Hiccup stopped the moment he reached the edge of the cliff and could only watch as the dragons flew away down towards the massive armada of ships in the sea. Hiccup then began pacing up and down looking frustrated.

"Oh, that is just… ugh, great!" said Tuffnut. "Now what?"

"I think it's time for number two to become number one," said Snotlout pushing Eret's arm away from him.

Ragnar turned on him. "For once in your life shut your mouth."

Heather looked at Ragnar. "Is there anything we can do?"

Ragnar looked at her, but said nothing.

"Go," said Valka placing a hand on Astrid's shoulder. "He'll listen to you."

Astrid nodded and started making her way over to Hiccup.

Hiccup was still pacing when he saw Astrid making her way over to him. "Don't say it."

Astrid held up her hands. "I wasn't going to."

"I shouldn't have dragged you and Ragnar out there. He wouldn't have flown me back. She wouldn't have followed."

"Yep," Astrid nodded

"Aah!" Hiccup yelled in frustration. "I feel like the same screw up I was before I met Toothless."

"I can see that."

Hiccup stopped and looked at her. "Are you just gonna stand there and agree with everything?"

"Well, you're right. You're back to where you started," she agreed and then looked at him. "I was the first of us to believe in you, not counting Ragnar. And I have watched you doubt whether you're worthy ever since. But you know what… I am the person I am today because of you. I never told you that, but it's true. You are the bravest, most stubborn, most determined… knucklehead I know. Toothless didn't give you that, Hiccup. He just made it—"

"Easier," Hiccup finished.

"And now it's gonna be a lot harder," said Astrid.

Ragnar then stepped forward. "Hiccup, you've accomplished so much. You ended the war between us and the dragons, you ended complex between the Outcasts and the Berserkers. Exposed Johann to the treaty he was practically destroyed the Dragon Hunter operations and brought down Drago. Astrid's right, you were always that person Toothless just helped to awaken it."

Astrid nodded and looked at Hiccup. "So… what are you gonna do about it?"

Hiccup shrugged. "Probably something stupid."

"And crazy," Ragnar added.

"Probably."

"That's the Hiccup I know," Astrid smiled and grasped his hand.

Hiccup then kissed on the cheek and then looked at the other Riders. "Suit up, gang! We're gonna get them back."

"What?" Fishlegs stared.

"He's lost his mind," Ruffnut groaned.

Heather folded her arms. "I was waiting for you to say that."

"Now that's marriage material," said Tuffnut hugging him. "At last, faithful pupil, you are ready."

The two of them then nodded one another, though Hiccup mainly did it to humour him.

"Umm. How are we gonna get our dragons back… without dragons?" Fishlegs asked.

"Trust me," said Hiccup.
