'Twas the day of my posting, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, NOT EVEN MY EMAIL LIKE START WORKING AGAIN EMAIL! UGH! And it was at that moment I heard such a clatter, I sprang from the computer chair to see what was the matter. And what to my wondering eyes would appear, but all my reviewers with their weapons ready to help me conquer my email. Sorry, I'm bad at poetry.

Roses are red...Revenge is blue...Hiccup is captured, locked in prison, too. Everyone is terrified, characters old and new...Will Hiccup be rescued by the Dragon Riding Crew?

Sorry, that was random. WORK EMAIL WORK! UGH! As soon as it starts working, SHOUT-OUTS FOR DA WIN! :D Enjoy the chapter!

"Of course I didn't have a choice," said Elanor. "Could I really go against my father?"

"No, I suppose not," said Hiccup. He was still trying to wrap his brain around the fact that Elanor, whose father was out to make Hiccup suffer, had come to Hiccup's aid when he needed help. "So what is his deal?"

"Pardon?" said Elanor.

"What's his big deal with warfare and stuff?" said Hiccup. "I mean, he wants war, and killing me is enough to make war with the Berkians, and yet he hesitates. He doesn't want to kill me, you said so yourself. Then what does he want me for? He told me he wanted war...so why not kill me, and make it easy?"

Elanor sighed and leaned back. "He doesn't really want war," she said. "He says he does, but he doesn't. He wants war where no one else has a chance of beating him. He told me that his plan for you is get you to train all his dragons, and then the Berkians will come and save you, he will threaten to kill you unless they surrender, and once they do, he will keep going, traveling to every island known to us, pillaging, until finally, he gets what he wants."

"What does he want?" said Hiccup.
"Domination," said Elanor. "Domination over every single thing that lives and breathes, be it dragons, or humans. He wants it all, Hiccup. And he's starting with Berk."

"I have one thing to say," said Hiccup.

"What?"

"We're doomed."

Elanor actually laughed. "And you get mad at me for not speaking encouraging words," she said. "And we don't have to be doomed. I'll help you, see. Savage is a lunatic, but he won't kill his own daughter."

"Yeah," said Hiccup. "I would hope he wouldn't."

"He wouldn't," said Elanor. "He couldn't. Now, listen, I have to go, or else people will start getting suspicious, and come looking for me. Savage is coming to get you in the morning. Try to take it easy on your ribs."

"I'll try," said Hiccup. "I don't know how well it will work out, though."

"Okay," said Elanor. "I'll help you, remember, as much as I can."

"Thanks, Elanor," said Hiccup. "I would be dead if it weren't for you."

"I know," said Elanor. "And you're welcome." She stood and left the prison, shutting the door behind her. Hiccup leaned back against Revenge, thinking it over. Maybe he now had two friends on this accursed island.

...

The youths of the academy waited for Hiccup at said location. Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut stood side by side with their dragons as they waited for their leader to get there.

"Huh," said Fishlegs. "I wonder where he is."

"He could have overslept again," said Astrid. "It wouldn't surprise me." She laughed and shook her head. "That boy, I tell you...well, I guess I should go get him up, huh?"

"Yeah," said Snotlout. "Probably."

Just before Astrid left, Stoick arrived on Skullcrusher.

"Has anyone seen Hiccup?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" said Astrid.

"He's not at the house?" Fishlegs questioned.

Stoick shook his head. "He didn't show up last night either," he said. "I thought he could have been with you guys this morning, but I guess I was wrong."

"What could have happened?" said Astrid.

"Astrid, he's Hiccup," said Tuffnut. "Anything could have happened."

Everyone shot him a glare.

"What?" said Tuffnut. "You're not denying it."

"Where should we look?" said Snotlout.

"He went on a flight with Toothless yesterday night," said Astrid. "That was the last time I saw him."

"We have to look for him," said Stoick.

"Right, Chief," said Ruffnut.

"We should start at the cove," said Astrid. "That's where Hiccup normally goes. He's blind, too...maybe he crashed...? Is that a possibility?"

"Anything's a possibility," said Stoick. "We should start looking, though."

They nodded, mounted their dragons, and took off without another word. The first place they looked, of course, was the cove. And that was the first place they had luck.

"Toothless!" they shouted, almost in perfect unison. The dragons landed in front of the Night Fury. Toothless made no move of recognition, and it was then that the riders realized that he couldn't make a move at all.

As soon as the dragons touched down, they ran over to the Night Fury. Astrid whipped out her axe and sliced through the ropes that bound him while Snotlout and Fishlegs took to taking off the muzzle. As soon as Toothless was free, he growled.

"What happened, Toothless?" said Astrid. "Where's Hiccup?"

Toothless ran circles around he cove, roaring and sniffing in different bouts. He wailed when he found nothing, and then flopped backwards, landing on he ground with a THUMP.

It was then that Astrid noticed the note nailed to the ground. She picked it up and studied it.

"What's this?" she questioned out loud. Everyone turned to her, and she looked at then with worry, asking silently if they wanted to hear it. They nodded in unison almost instantly, and she read the note to them out loud:

"'Dear Berkians,'" she read, "'this is your new arch enemy speaking. I have captured Hiccup and taken him to an island one hundred miles South of Dragon Island. You have one week to come and surrender to me before I kill him. And there's another thing, too. If you bring any dragons, rider or no, I will also kill your precious heir, no questions asked. Surrender, or look for a new heir. The choice is yours. One week. No dragons.

-Your New Enemy'"

"What does that mean?" said Tuffnut.

"It means war," said Stoick. "I'm calling a meeting at the Great Hall, right now. This is war. That's what it is." He turned, mounted Skullcrusher, and then headed back to the village. Astrid and the others followed him. They would find the person who ever dared to take Hiccup from them. And then, Astrid, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Fishlegs would make them pay.

Toothless ran back to the village, following the others and their dragons from below. He would find his rider.

He would find Hiccup.
