Hiccup and Toothless barged into Mildew's house angrily, not caring at all about knocking.

"Ah! You demons! Get out of my house!" Mildew snarled as Astrid walked in and elbowed him in the chest, making him fall unconscious as they looked around the house, nothing.

"What? Toothless, I thought you said-"

"NO!" Toothless roared as he sniffed around frantically, "N-No, her scent, i-it was here less than five minutes ago!" Toothless exclaimed before breaking down.

"W-We're never gonna find them. My family's gone forever." He wept as Hiccup walked over and smacked the side of his head.

"Hey! Don't think like that! We'll find them, eventually..." Hiccup trailed off as Mildew started to wake up.

"Lets get out of here." Astrid advised as they raced out the door.

"JUST WAIT UNTIL STOICK HEARS 'BOUT THIS!" Mildew screamed as he opened the door and scanned the night sky for the near invisible dragon.

"Where could they be?" Toothless asked sadly as Hiccup sighed.

"I don't know, but don't worry, we will find them." He assured as Astrid patted Toothless's head.

"Its okay Toothless." She said as Toothless sighed and flew into the inky black sky.


"Yes! That worked perfectly!" Fen exclaimed as he peeked out through an underground tunnel and a chilling laugh came from behind him

"I knew makin' tunnels under Berk would help us!" Alvin exclaimed as he walked up behind Fen and they both looked over to see Lily, who was panting heavily and looking down sadly.

"I can't believe this." She muttered in defeat as she looked over to see the hatchlings, who were now attempting to be trained by some Outcasts.

"Ow!" One of them screamed as Rosie bit his hand.

"The only thing we need is the girl." Fen muttered as Alvin smirked.

"Valka? Please, that'll be a piece of cake. I was 10 years old when she was born. I watched her grow up all the way up to when she was 19. We were friends. I know all her weaknesses." Alvin said as he looked around.

"The only problem is her husband."


"Haha! He did what?!" Stoick exclaimed joyfully as Valka laughed and nodded before taking a bite of her food.

"Yes, yes, apparently the logic in four-year-old Hiccup's head was to style his hair with mud. It took me over a week to wash it all out." Valka laughed as Stoick regained himself.

"Ohhhh, I need you to tell me more Hiccup stories. Ya know, since I wasn't there." He sighed as Valka's laugh died down and she sighed as well.

"And who's fault is that? I'm so sorry Stoick." She sighed, tears pricking her eyes as Stoick grabbed her hand gently.

"You did it to protect him. I understand, even if it meant thinking the two of you were dead." He said as Valka looked up and a small smile tugged at her lips.

"How are you so forgiving?" She asked as Stoick chuckled a bit.

"How could I possibly stay mad at you?" He asked as Valka smiled, but then it faded as she noticed the door to the great hall open and Mildew stomped in.

"Oh course, I can't have two seconds with you without him barging in to complain about something." Valka muttered angrily as she turned away and Stoick sighed.

"What is it Mildew? Did Hiccup do something, again?" He asked.

"Of course it was that demon boy! He and that Night Fury and that Hofferson girl broke into my house, knocked me out, then left!" Mildew snarled as Valka snapped up and glared at him.

"Like you don't know why they were there." She hissed as Stoick held her back with his hand as she glared at the old man.

"Shut it you! I've had enough of your son and his wretched dragon!" Mildew snarled as Valka attempted to lunge at him, but Stoick caught her mid-air as struggled to hold her back.

"DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME TO SHUT IT YOU, YOU DRAGON HATER!" She screamed, getting then entire hall's attention.

"Val- Val! You need to settle down!" Stoick said as Valka took a deep breath before grabbing her bag and stomping out of the hall.

"I'll be right back." Stoick muttered in annoyance as he stood up and ran after Valka as Mildew smirked.

"I can't wait to watch this unfold." Mildew said with an evil grin as he walked outside as well, it was the dinner rush now so almost everyone was in their houses, or in the Great Hall getting some food.

"Val! Valka!" Stoick yelled as Valka angrily jumped onto Cloudjumper's back.

"Is everything okay?" He asked in concern.

"Fly." She said sternly as Cloudjumper cooed before taking off.

"Valka! Come back!" Stoick shouted as he watched Valka fly off into the distance.

"Awww, this is really heartbreaking." Mildew sneered as Stoick glared at him as he walked by.

"You are so lucky I'm chief or I'd snap your little neck in two." He snarled before starting back towards his house.

"Oh, I wouldn't even think like that Stoick." Mildew said as Stoick turned around.

"And why would that be?"

"Because you wouldn't want anything to happen to, I don't know, a certain hybrid." Mildew threatened with a smirk as Stoick whipped and and grabbed his throat.

"You will not touch my son." He snarled before dropping him and stomping away.

"Oh, he's not the only one." Mildew said with an evil grin as he started back towards his house.


"That man is just so- how does he have the nerve- just I HATE HIM!" Valka screamed as she and Cloudjumper soared over the island.

"Valka, you do need to calm down. Sure, he is an awful person, but just suppress your rage, you know, like normal women do." He said as Valka rolled her eyes.

"Like I fit the "normal" woman category." She said with a light smile as a whizzing noise got both their attention and a dart embedded itself into Cloudjumper's side.

"T-This is one of... Drago's... darts." Cloudjumper slurred as they fell out of the sky.

"Cloudjumper!" Valka yelped as they crashed onto the ground, hard.

"Ow." She croaked as her vision started to fade in and out and two figures came out of the forest.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Valka Haddock, or the Dragon Conqueror." Alvin chuckled as Valka, even in her barely conscious state figured out what was going on.

"St-Stoick." She mumbled desperately as Alvin picked her up and Fen smiled deviously.

"There's no chief to protect you now." He sneered as he shoved a dart in her shoulder.

"You are going to train some dragons for us." Alvin said as Valka attempted to say something, but her mouth couldn't move and the last thing that she managed to slur was.

"Never."
