"Uh, what?" Brenna asked the woman in confusion as she looked at her and smiled.
"H-Has Hiccup ever talked about his mother?" She asked as Brenna shook her head.
"No, he's never mentioned- wait. He said she was killed by a... Stormcutter." She muttered as her eyes widened and the woman's smile turned into a sheepish grin.
"V-Valka Haddock." The woman said, holding our her hand as Brenna shook it.
"Oh my gods! You and Hiccup are totally alike!" She exclaimed as Valka smiled.
"Thank the gods for that. It broke my heart to think he would become a dragon killer." She sighed as Brenna gave her a confused look.
"Wait, why didn't you go back?" She asked as Valka bit her lip nervously.
"Because I believed they'd be safer if I did. 15 years ago I almost got Hiccup and Stoick killed." She said with a sad smile.
"Oh, so you stayed away for Hiccup's protection?" Brenna asked as Valka nodded.
"Yes. But off of that topic, your Night Fury was taken by some hunters?" She said as Brenna nodded.
"Yes, and I'm afraid they're heading for Berk." She said angrily as Valka looked at the four winged dragon, who shook its head.
"Val, no. Do you have any idea what Stoick'll do to me if he sees me? I'm a goner!" He exclaimed as Valka gave him a sad look.
"Please Cloudjumper." She pleaded as the dragon sighed before gesturing to his back.
"Wait, how will I get to Berk?" Brenna asked as Valka bit her lip before looking over to see a beautiful jade Monstrous Nightmare snoozing by a rock pillar.
"Jade. Will you come over here?" She asked as the dragon got up and yawned.
"Yeah Valka?" She asked as Valka gestured for Brenna to walk over to Jade.
"A-Are you sure? Is it loyal to train another dragon?" She asked as Valka shrugged.
"Sure, you can never have enough dragon friends." She said with a light chuckle as Brenna held out her hand, which Jade leaned her snout into.
"I need your help, fly me to Berk." She said as Jade lowered her head and Brenna mounted her back before they took off.
"Astrid! Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the twins! About a minute away!" Hiccup warned as he landed in the cove and Astrid groaned before snapping up.
"What?!" She exclaimed as Hiccup shushed her as they heard voices.
"Hey! Did you hear that?!" Snotlout exclaimed from somewhere in the trees above.
"Get in that cave, now!" Hiccup whisper yelled as he gestured to a nearby cave, they all instantly sprinted for it as the four teens emerged from the treeline, noticing Hiccup crawling in very quick as he pulled down his new hood.
"Hey! I know you're down there dragon rider! What did you do with Astrid?!" Snotlout demanded as Hiccup pressed himself up against the wall as Stormfly and Toothless hid Astrid with their wings.
"Yeah! Where is she?!" Ruffnut added as they found a tunnel that lead to the bottom as Hiccup drew his bow and knocked an arrow.
"Hiccup no." Astrid whispered, but Hiccup ignored her as they started to walk closer and closer.
"I-I don't like this! Why can't we just go get Stoick?" Fishlegs asked nervously as they walked within 50 feet of the cave and Hiccup aimed.
"NO!" Astrid screamed as they all snapped up.
"Astrid?" Snotlout asked in shock before charging towards the cave and Hiccup shot an arrow that knocked off his helmet as a warning before Toothless snarled.
"Back away." He warned as his stuck his head out of the cave, Hiccup standing up and putting a hand on his head.
"Run!" Fishlegs yelped as they all raced back towards the village.
"We probably only have an hour, that will give us a really good head start-"
"No. We have to stay here and wait for the hunters." Hiccup said as Astrid's jaw dropped.
"But Hiccup, if they get your dad and the rest of the village then..." She trailed off.
"Then we'll have to fight them and the dragon hunters, I know. But we can't leave. Stormfly could never hold up flying all the way back to the nest. And besides, even if we do miraculously make it, the hunters could follow us. Also, if they wait for the hunters to get here to attack us, then we will probably have a lot more time to think of something." He said as Astrid looked at him sadly.
"So we're just sitting ducks right now?" She asked.
"Yeah." Hiccup said as he slung his bow over his shoulder and mounted Toothless.
"We're gonna go see how far the hunters are from Berk. We should be back in about 20 minutes." He said before taking off.
"Oh gods, this is a suicide mission." Astrid muttered.
"But Hiccup will have a plan. He always has a plan." Stormfly tried to reassure as Astrid sat down on a rock and sighed.
"You will make that chieftain very happy." Viggo whispered to Sky, who snarled at him.
"You deserve to die you rotten son of a bitch!" She snapped as Viggo chuckled as pulled out his sword, making the other dragons cower back as Sky snarled again.
"You might want to calm down. Or I will be wearing your skull as a helmet." He threatened as Sky charged a plasma blast, but Viggo turned around and threw water at her head.
"A wet dragon head can't light its fire." He said menacingly before walking away, Sky still glaring at him.
"It takes guts to stand up to Viggo like that." Skullcrusher commented.
"Yeah, that was beyond brave." Jewel said as Sky turned away.
"But it doesn't make a difference." Sky muttered as she turned away sadly, looking outside through a crack in the wood before noticing a small black dot in the distance, which got bigger and bigger before she gasped and stumbled back in her cage as, WINTER?! came flying towards the hunter ship.
"Winter!? What are you doing here!?" She snapped as Winter looked around nervously.
"I snuck out. You, and Toothless, and Hic-cup have been gone for over a day and I started to get worried." Winter explained as the other dragons craned their necks to see what was happening.
"Winter you need to go. These dragon hunters will kill you!" Sky said as she gestured for her to leave.
"No! If you or Toothless get hurt I won't be able to forgive myself." Winter said as she fired up a plasma blast and tried to break a hole in the boat, but that only made noise that caught the attention of the dragon hunters, who noticed her and used a net to catch her.
"WINTER! NO!" Sky screamed as Winter started to bawl and frantically tried to escape the netting.
"Shit, shit ,shit." She muttered as she started to pace around the cage.
"Okay, what just happened?" Shine asked as Sky put her head in her paws and roared angrily.
"You wanna know what happened?! My mate's little sister just got herself kidnapped and now she's gonna get seriously hurt!" She snapped.
"Ugh, Hiccup should not have been her roll model." Sky stated angrily under her breath.
"Wait, there are other Night Furies?" Skullcrusher asked in shock.
"Yeah, there's a whole island full of them." She said, calming down a bit.
"Really? So doesn't that mean that you could, I don't know, call for back up." Jewel said as Sky gave her a 'really?' look.
"You do realize that it's like a 10 hour flight. There's no way I could signal them for help." She said as one of the hunters walked down to the cages with Winter in his hands before he opened up a new cage and tossed her in roughly.
"Winter!" Sky yelped as she snarled at the hunter before looking over at Winter in concern and noticed a good sized cut across her cheek.
"S-Sky." She whimpered as Sky looked at her sadly.
"What honey?" She asked as gently as she could as Winter put a paw on the cut and cried a bit more as a murderous expression spread over Sky's face.
"We are going to destroy those hunters when we get to Berk." She snarled as they felt a jolt and the boat slowed to a halt.
"We're here."
"They're here?!" Toothless exclaimed in shock as Hiccup shook his head in disbelief.
"No. W-We should have had at least two or three hours to make a plan." He stuttered nervously as they flew back to the cove.
"Guys, the hunters are here." Hiccup said solemnly.
"Well do you have a plan?" Stormfly asked as Hiccup shook his head.
"Soooooo, basically we're screwed." Astrid said as Hiccup nodded.
"Unless we can come up with an amazing plan within, eh, probably 45 minutes, then yes. Do you have any ideas?" Hiccup asked as Toothless perked up.
"I think I might have one."
Hey, for all you Instagram users, I am very happy to announce, I made an account!
