Stoick's pov (the next morning)

Spitelout, Gobber, Sven, Bucket and I agreed to meet up at the great hall to talk about going to the nest. We said that we would go and find a dragon and go to the nest.

"We should get one of the boats, they are no dragon's left on the island," Gobber said.

"Yeah and while we go and get the dragon he villagers could ready the ships.

We ordered the villagers to ready the ships because when we got back we would go to the island straight away. We went to the nearest island that was big and full of trees. It took us about 2 hours to get there and we docked on the beach and explored the island. We went deep into the green forest, and 1 hour later we heard a rustle in the trees and the sound of a roar. We investigated and saw a dark brown gronkle and it was 14 feet long, I walked behind the beast that was too busy eating huge rocks I got one of the nets that we had and jumped on it, we threw the net on him and he tried to struggle and get out but we held him down he then tried to shoot his flaming lava but eventually he was out of fire power. We dragged him to the boat and began our journey back to Berk, I had to make sure that the dragon wouldn't get away so I stood next to it holding and axe. We arrived at Berk around 5 pm, we got a harness for the dragon and put him in the biggest boat that I was n and sailed off with the other 200 hundred villagers on the 9 boats that we took.

Astrid's pov

Hiccup and I woke up around 9 am, we got up to get the dragons their food because today was the day that we go to the nest and take on the queen. I was nervous mostly because Hiccup said that he was doing most of the fighting but what if he got injured or killed, I wouldn't have been able to live if he died and I could have helped him. Hiccup and I barley talked, maybe it was because we were both worried and scared. We walked to the pond that was close to the house, it wasn't as big as the one in the cove, it was about half the size but it still had fish in it. We had built a fishing rod from a stick and a piece of string. We sat down and waited for the fish to latch onto the rod so we can pull them up and put them in the basket. We still weren't talking and for the first time ever between Hiccup and I, it was awkward silence and I didn't like it.

"So…" I said trying to break the silence but I didn't know what to say.

"So…" Hiccup repeated and we looked at each other.

"I don't like it when we are like this, why is it awkward between us?" I said.

"Maybe it's because we both know what could happen by the end of the day," he said and looked into my eyes and I looked back into his.

"Yeah, I know what could happen but I just don't want it to happen," I said.

"Let's just forget what could happen," he said and I just nodded. I then got closer to Hiccup and he put his arm around my shoulder. We sat there for awhile and only moved when we caught a fish. After about half an hour we had enough fish for all of us. We cooked the fish and ate it, we barley talked then as well. After we ate we just sat there and had a few conversations about the weather and random stuff. We eventually sat on the couch were we just snuggled up together and the silence at first it was awkward but then it went back to normal, it got comfortable.

We flew to the nest it took us about an hour to get there because we weren't flying fast, we were trying to save the dragons energy for the fight. It was getting dark in the sky but it didn't matter, I looked over at Hiccup as he was flying on Toothless he was looking straight forward and he had a worried expression on his face and I could tell what was going through his mind, he probably thought about what would happen if we didn't win and what would happen if the dragon tried to kill us. I just didn't want to think about I just thought about what would happen if we won, when we won because if you made yourself nervous then you wouldn't fight your best, that was what my father taught me. The island was in sight and Hiccup flew closer to me, I just looked at him and gave him a faint smile and he looked at me and did the same. We landed on the beach surrounding the huge mountain and Toothless shot a plasma blast at the dragon's nest making a hole in the was, thousands of dragons flew out and into the air, there were many different types of dragons in many different colours. I looked over at Hiccup and kissed him on the cheek.

"We can do this Hiccup," I said and right after it we heard a loud roar from inside the mountain. I looked at Hiccup and smiled before we flew into the air. A massive dragon that looked like it was 5 times the size of Berk came out and just shot its fire everywhere, luckily Hiccup and I were able to dodge it. The dragon finally saw us as we were flying closer to him, its 8 eyes looked at us while we were trying to get in its blind spot, but it didn't have any. We just kept on firing at it and Stormfly also kept on throwing spines at the enormous dragon. It kept on hitting the dragon but the dragon didn't seem as effected as what other dragons would have been. Its gray scaly skin was like armour because it was so thick, the red death roared once again and you could see the razor sharp teeth the looked like daggers and it had about a hundred teeth. Finally the dragon got weaker but it was still stronger than us, the shots kind of hurt her but it wasn't bad.

"Look Astrid!" Hiccup shouted and I looked over at him, "this thing has wings!" I looked at the dragon and saw that it had big wings that were the size of Stormfly. "Stay here Astrid, I want to see if he can use them!" Before I could protest, Hiccup shot her wing and it immediately opened them and began flapping them. It flew up in the air and was chasing Hiccup into the night sky, luckily Toothless was pitch black so you can't see him in the dark so he was able to disappear once they got high enough. I just watched from down below tempted to go up their and help Hiccup but I knew he knew what he was doing.

All that I heard were the plasma blast and the red deaths roar and all that I saw was purple and orange fire from the clouds above and the shadow of the huge dragon. I was worried about Hiccup and Toothless and I was actually scared for them but I should just let him do what he wants to do.

Hiccup's pov

I was flying in the air and the massive dragon was behind me, I told Astrid to stay on the ground because I don't want her to get hurt. The dragon was literally 10 feet away from me and was trying to bit Toothless' tail off, I was terrified but I had to do this. I flew even higher in the clouds at top speed and the red death finally slowed down a bit, once we were high enough the dragon was confused to where we were because we were hidden in the clouds and invisible, the dragon roared very loudly and shot its fire everywhere but fortunately I was able to dodge it without showing myself. I shot numerous plasma blasts and it that hit it, since it was getting weaker it hurt more which mad him more madder so Toothless just kept on shooting plasma blasts until it was the last one. We shown our selves to the big dragon and we shot his fire at us which didn't touch us luckily, we flew straight down to the ocean.

"Let's use your size against him bud," I said as the dragon followed. We were close to the ground when we flipped over to shoot the last plasma blast into the red deaths mouth since they are more flammable on the inside than they are on the outside. The mouth of the dragon set into flames and it could no longer breath fire it just was flying, as Toothless and I were about to flip over and pull up, I fell of the back of him but he didn't notice so he just kept on flying.

"Hiccup!" was the last thing I heard and an explosion was the last think I saw before I fell unconscious.
