The Dragon Riders were in the middle of taking down more and more of the Dragon Hunter's supply ships, and causing more damage to Viggo's ship.
The Dragon Hunters are trying to be smarter, by improving their gear.
But the Riders are smarter by finding more alternative ways of getting away.
When they returned to the Edge after rescuing more dragons, Hiccup went around making sure nobody was hurt.
"How's she doing?" Hiccup asks Fishlegs receding to Meatlug.
"You know, her felelings are hurt. You guys were cutting it a little too close. Minor wing sprain, but she'll be fine." Fishlegs informs him as Heather is helping Astrid walk as she's limping.
"Are you limping?" Hiccup asks her.
"No." Astrid lies.
"She got shot in the leg." Heather tells him.
"What?" Hiccup shouts.
"A hunter arrow was going to hit Stormfly, so I blocked it." Astrid tells him.
"With your leg?" Hiccup asks.
"It just grazed me. I'm fine." Astrid assures him as she walks away and Heather just shrugs her shoulders.
"All right, has anyone else been hurt recently who didn't tell me?" Hiccup asks everyone and they all raise their hands.
"I got a thing in my eye." Tuffnut says.
"You mean that tiny little bug?" Ruffnut asks.
"Hey. That bug was on a mission. A mission to be in my eye." Tuffnut says.
"Oh, gods." Hiccup whispers to himself.
"They all know the risks, Hiccup." Heather tells him.
"And let's not forget we freed a couple dozen dragons this week." Astrid says as she's limping away.
"Okay, guys, new rule. For now on..." Hiccup was saying when he gets a Terror coming in with mail and he takes it off.
"What is it? Lots of big words? You want me to take a look at that?" Tuffnut as he and Ruff walk up to him. "Yeah, big words are my thing. Or should I sat my thingy?"
"It's Viggo. He wants to meet." Hiccup tells them and shows the map.
"He picked a spot in the middle of nowhere. Nice long flight go tire out your dragon." Heather states looking at the map.
Snotlout laughs at that knowledge. "Trap. It's definitely a trap."
"Hiccup, he just wants you out there alone so his men can ambush you." Astrid states.
"No, that's not his style." Hiccup replies.
"He's right. Viggo likes to out-think his opponent." Heather agrees.
"And that's his weakness." Hiccup finishes.
"Unless he actually out thinks you. Which sounds like a strength to me." Tuffnut disagrees and Ruffnut elbows him. "Ow! Like you weren't thinking it too."
"Of course I was, but I wasn't saying it out loud." Ruffnut states.
"Sorry if my thinking comes out of my mouth. The things I think, I say out loud."
"Letting Hiccup know how overmatched he is isn't going to help with his obvious lack of confidence."
"Only he can find the confidence within himself. Which he's now lacking. He needs to go to a seminar." Tuffnut finishes.
"Viggo will come after us, whether I meet him or not. I'm going." Hiccup tells them.
-
Hiccup, Heather and Astrid go to the destination while they're dressed in their Night and Shadow Rider outfits and see Viggo sitting out in the open with a board of Maces Tallons in front of him in a clearing.
"No place near him for men to hide." Astrid comments.
"He'd be easy to pick off from here." Heather says, seeing he'd be easy to take down from the sky.
"No, no. I'm gonna see what he wants to say." Hiccup tells her. "Keep an eye on that ship for me." He tells her and flies in and sees flowers. "Blue Oleander!" He sees and lands Toothless in a clearing.
"You stay here, bud. If he makes a move, you know what to do." Hiccup tells Toothless and walks towards him as Toothless circles the area. He walks up and places the Viking chief on the board. "I think you're missing a piece."
"You came. I'm surprised." Viggo admits.
"No, you're not." Hiccup says as he removes his helmet. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting in a field of flowers that are poisonous to dragons."
"A man has to take precautions. I noticed you arrived with friends." Viggo says, looking to Heather and Astrid.
"Like you said, precautions." Hiccup replies. "What do you want, Viggo?"
"To compliment you, Hiccup. Your little group has had some impressive victories recently. Put quite the dent in my bottom line."
"Glad to hear it."
"You are a worthy opponent. And, as such, this battle between us could continue for years to come." Viggo says as he places another character on the board. "Or...it could end today."
"I accept your surrender." Hiccup says with a smirk smile.
Viggo laughs in reply to that. "Oh, it's good to see your sense of humor is still intact. But I am offering a truce. With very generous terms." He says and pulls out a map with a line drawn through the middle. "You stay south of this line. And my men and I will stay above it. We never have to fight again."
Hiccup has understood Viggo enough to see there's a means to this and that he doesn't just want a truce, he's after something.
"Hiccup, I'm not unreasonable. I have no desire to rule the world like..." Viggo was saying and Hiccup wonders who he's talking about, "some people. I'm a businessman, and fighting's bad for business. I'm offering you the chance to save the life of every dragon below this line, not to mention those of your fellow Riders. I am willing to memorialize this deal now and end the bloodshed." He says and signs the map. "Are you?"
"I'll need to think about it." Hiccup tells him, wanting to learn what his plan is.
"Of course. All leaders should receive counsel." Viggo agrees with him. "But in the end, it's up to us, isn't it? Oh, how's Astrid's leg? Healing well, I trust?" He asks as Hiccup rolls up the map. "Time is of the essence, Hiccup."
Hiccup just walks off and leaves him behind.
-
"A truce? You have to be joking." Heather says while she looks over the map back at the Edge.
"This is a very serious looking map." Fishlegs says.
"You're not actually thinking of doing this, are you, Hiccup?" Asird asks and they see he's looking at another game board.
"Hiccup, the maps over here." Heather tells him.
"Yeah. But the answers are over here. Viggo's a game player. His moves are never what they seem to be." Hiccup says as he's trying to outsmart this man.
"Unless, he knows that you know he's a game player. Then the deceptive move is to make the obvious move." Tuffnut tells him.
"But, he's also smart enough to know that hiccup knows that Viggo knows that hiccup knows that he's a game player. So the deceptive move is to actually make the deceptive move." Ruffnut argues.
"But, if Viggo is that smart, then he will know that Hiccup is smart enough to know that Viggo is smart enough to know that Hiccup is Viggo." Tuffnut says and then gets confused. "No, wait. What were we talking about again?"
"Hiccup, can you just share what you're thinking?" Heather begs of him, to keep them quiet.
"Viggo doesn't want a truce. What he really wants is to keep us away from something on his side on the game board." Hiccup explains.
"And where do we find this thing?" Astrid asks.
"I think we can assume that Viggo wouldn't give up any more territory than he has to." Hiccup says as he walks over to the map. "So, whatever he wants to keep us away from is going to be right on the edge of the line. Here." He says and points to the first location. "This is where we start."
-
The next morning, they fly out and find the island.
"There's a village in the clearing to the west." Astrid says and Hiccup looked through his spyglass.
"Strange looking buildings." Hiccup comments seeing some oversized Gronckle on pedestals. "Not viking or Hunter. And check out that statue. Fishlegs, can you make out what kind of dragon that's supposed to be?" He asks and Fishlegs looks.
"Looks like a Boulder Class to me. But not one I've seen before." Fishlegs answers.
"Let's go ask them." Snotlout tells them.
"Whoa, Whoa, whoa!" Heather stops him. "We don't know if they're friend or foe. Let's do a little surveillance first."
"Heather has a point. Well land over in that forest and then try to move in for a closer look." Hiccup tells them and they do exactly that.
-
They all started walking through the forest together to not loose each other.
"That village didn't seem like much. Why wouldn't Viggo want us here?" Heather wonders.
"I don't know yet. I'm just happy to be one step ahead of him for a change." Hiccup says as they keep walking.
As they're walking, Tuffnut turns to talk to Snotlout and sees he's gone. "Where'd Snotlout go?" He asks Ruffnut to see she's also gone. "Okay, I'm pretty sure I had a sister when we landed. Or has it merely been me in girls' clothes?" He wonders when he gets attacked.
Fishlegs was walking and finds blueberries. "Ooh, blueberries." He says when he gets pulled into the bushes.
Astrid stops and looks back to see everyone's missing. She turns only to have stepped into a trap and gets pulled into the trees.
Hiccup and Heather pull out their axe and Inferno to see that everyone's missing.
"I have a bad feeling." Hiccup says as they're looking for where everyone went.
Heather was looking around and looks up to see people hiding. "Then you probably don't want to look up." She warns him and Hiccup does exactly that as they shoot darts as their Rider armor.
"Nice call with our Rider clothes." Heather states, happy to see it came in handy.
"We come in...peace." Hiccup was saying when somebody shoots him in the weak spot in his neck and Heather's arm, taking them down.
-
They later wake up all tied together in a circle and see they're surrounded by masked people.
"Who are these guys?" Snotlout asks.
"And what are they feeding our dragons?" Fishlegs asks as they look and see the dragons are willingly eating some fruit they're being fed.
"I don't know. But I have a feeling that we're about to find out." Hiccup says and stands up and sees a unmasked man walking towards them and then walks up to Hiccup.
"I am Throk." He says and Hiccup was about to respond when he grabs Hiccup and pushes him down to the ground. "All hail, Mala, Queen Defender of the Wing." He says as he turns and everyone bows as a woman walks towards them that must be Mala.
"So, these are the Dragon Hunters your men captured, Throk?" Mala asks the man.
"Yes, my Queen." Throk replies.
"Hunters? Us? You've got to be kidding." Astrid states.
"We do not hunt dragons." Hiccup tells her.
"Do you take me for a fool?" Mala asks him. "You were sent by Viggo Grimborn to stack us and steal the Great Protector." She says and looks to the statue.
"You couldn't be more wrong." Hiccup replies to that.
"Yeah, why would we steal a statue? To pose like it for long periods of time?" Tuffnut asks her.
"Silence, Girl." Mala tells him.
"What? She's the girl." Tuffnut says nodding to Ruffnut.
"A lot of people make that mistake when they first meet us." Ruffnut admits.
"Look, we don't know who you are or who the Great Protector is, but if you're enemies of Viggo Grimborn, then we have something in common." Hiccup tells Mala.
"Exactly what the last spy sant by Grimborn said." Mala states.
"We don't hurt dragons. We honor and respect them." Hiccup promises.
"So you say, but you shackle them and make them do your bidding." Mala replies.
"Those are just saddles. We ride dragons." Heather states.
"Not anymore, you don't. Your dragons are now free." Mala tells her and their dragons aren't budging.
"See? Our dragons are loyal to us." Astrid says.
"Especially you, Hookfang. Way to go!" Snotlout says when his dragon takes off and is called back by Toothless and Windshear.
"If we're Dragon Hunters, why won't our dragons leave now you've freed them?" Heather asks Mala.
"Is it not obvious? They no longer think for themselves. But we will change that." Mala promises.
"Okay, how about the names Nigh Rider and Shadow Rider?" Heather tries out. "Have you heard of them before?"
Mala, Throk and the others look around and they have all heard of the names of the Dragon rescuers who have been rescuing dragons form villages everywhere.
"We are those people." Hiccup promises her. "I'm Night, or known as Hiccup Haddock. She's Shadow, Heather. Until a few years back, we lived in villages that hated dragons. But then I befriended a Night Fury, and met Shadow so we escaped our homes and learned to live in harmony with them. Yes, we ride the dragons, because they allow us to. We haven't harmed a dragon in years and hate the Dragon Hunters and everything they stand for. Think we're lying? Check my dragon's saddle and you'll find a book about all the villages and dragons we've saved."
Mala does exactly that and they see a list of islands they've traveled to and the dozens of dragons they've saved. Heather said it was a waste of time since they could just keep a list, but it seems to be coming in handy now.
"We're not the enemy but we have a common enemy." Hiccup tells her and Mala looks at the book over and over to see nothing that she's seen to prove that they are Dragon Hunters and sees all of the places that Night and Shadow Rider have visited line up with the lists in the book.
"Release them. Release them all." Mala says and they untie the Riders.
"Thank you." Hiccup thanks as Toothless runs and purrs at his Rider.
"You are a mystery, Hiccup Haddock. But know this. If you are not what you claim to be or if you betray us in any way, I will end you myself. Dragon or not." Mala promises.
"Fair enough." Hiccup agrees.
-
Later Mala gives Hiccup and Heather and the team a tour of her village
"That is the Temple of the Wing. And next to it is our healing center where both man and dragon can be treated." Mala tells them.
"Seems almost like the setup we have up at the Edge." Heather comments and Mala picks up some fruit they were feeding the dragons.
"We call it Sagefruit. It calms even the most aggressive dragons." Mala tells them. "Makes them easier to handle."
"Which explains why our dragons have been so docile." Hiccup says petting Toothless who purrs and rubs his head agains Hiccup.
"You do have a connection with him, Hiccup Haddock." Mala says watching the interaction. "O do not understand it, but I cannot deny it."
"Well, maybe if we took you for a ride?" Hiccup asks and Toothless gets ready.
Mala looks around and up in the skies. "No. Such a thing is forbidden."
"Your majesty, what dragon is that?" Fishlegs asks looking to the statue.
"That is our Great Protector. The Eruptiodon. He eats lava from the volcano to keep us all safe." Mala tells him as she smiles at the statue. "If not for him, all of this would burn to the ground."
"Eats lava? That's awesome." Ruffnut states.
"We should hook it up with Meatlug. You know, she pukes lava." Tuffnut tells Ruffnut. "He might be into that kind of thing."
"So, it is a Boulder class." Fishlegs says as he starts sketching the dragon.
"I think your Great Protector is asleep on the job." Snotlout says as they look up and see the volcano is rising.
"That should not be." Mala says.
"Let us check it out for you. We can be there fast." Hiccup offers.
"No, Hiccup Haddock. While you are here, I ask you to respect our ways." Mala tells him and Hiccup understands. "You may come with us on foot."
"Okay, we'll do it your way." Hiccup says and follow her.
-
They all start climbing the mountain and see the lava isn't stopping.
"The Great Protector has never let the lava get this far." Mala says.
"I'm sure there's an explanation." Hiccup assures her.
"You three, start chopping down this line of trees before the fire spreads into the forest." Mala tells her defenders. "The rest of you, come with me to the Den of the Great Protector."
They all keep climbing and Heather notices all of the gifts left for the Dragon.
"Look at all these gifts they leave for the Eruptodon." Heather tells Hiccup who agrees.
Hookfang blasts fire at Snotlout. "What? I treat you fine, you don't even like flowers." Snotlout says as they make it to the den.
"There should be guards here." Mala says and they run into the volcano to see he's gone. "The Protector is gone."
"Could it be on a different part of the island?" Heather asks her.
"No, he never strays far from his food source." Mala says when Astrid sees something.
"Hiccup." Astrid call's as they see a arrow. "Dragon Hunters. And it's fresh. They got the Eruptodon."
"Viggo. He wasn't trying to keep us from finding this island. He was leading us here." Hiccup realizes. "To use us as a diversion to steal their dragon. How did I fall for this?!"
"Hey, to be fair, I tried to warn you." Tuffnut reminds him.
"So, you were just a distraction after all." Mala realizes as she picking up an arrow. "I was actually almost beginning to believe you." She says as she breaks the arrow.
"Mala, this isn't what it seems." Heather tries explaining.
"Silence! You've served your master well. Without the Eruptodon to protect us, the fate of my village is sealed. But so is yours." Mala tells them. "I warned you what would happen if I found out you were lying to me. Your people are going to die for what you've done. But first, Hiccup, I'm going to kill you myself." She says as she draws her sword to his neck and Heather pulls her ax out.
"Look, I'm all for winning friends and influencing people, but this mission has gone talons up." Tuffnut tells them.
"Seize them!" Mala says and the dragons get ready to fight them back.
"Stop!" Hiccup shouts to both sides. "Look, you're right, you were tricked, but so were we. Viggo used us as a distraction so he could steal your Eruptodon, but without us knowing. We don't work with the Dragon Hunters. They're our enemies."
"And yet, our Eruptodon is gone, our village is in peril from the lava flow, and you hold me in front of your Night Fury." Mala says.
Hiccup looks to Toothless who's ready to defend his Rider. "Back off, bud." He tells him and he calms down. "We will prove it to you. We'll go rescue your dragon and bring it back. I'll even leave some people here to help you fight the lava." He proposes to Mala.
"Only your best." Mala tells them.
"Heather's my equal in command, and we've dealt with something similar to this before. And Ruff and Tuff..." Hiccup was saying when Tuffnut swallows a blowdart and Ruffnut laughs when Snotlout helps Tuffnut and the dart hits Ruffnut, "let's just say they have a lot of experience cleaning up stuff. You can trust us. I swear it." He promises and Mala agrees.
"I accept your offer, on one condition, I must travel with you to save our beloved dragon." Mala agrees.
"I thought you didn't fly on dragons." Hiccup remembers.
"I will do whatever it takes to save the Great Protector." Mala tells him and walks up to him. "But if you fail me, I will kill you. If you attempt an escape, I will kill you, if I think, at any time-"
"You'll kill me. I understand." Hiccup agrees.
"Then it shall be done." Mala agrees.
"She's coming with us? That's totally gonna mess up our rhyme." Snotlout tells Hiccup.
"What rhythm?" Hiccup asks as the twins wake up.
"What happened? I had a very vivid dream that I choked on a stun dart and lost control of my vocal chords." Tuffnut says.
Heather sighs and looks to Hiccup. "Just do what you can to stop the lava and try not to kill them." He asks of her.
"I'll try my best." Heather promises.
Hiccup quickly kisses her cheek. "And try to stay alive." He tells her.
"Same thing goes to you." Heather says and walks up to the twins. "Come on, it's up to us to stop the lava flow."
"Chocked on a stun dart." Tuffnut says as Heather drags them away.
"Thor, help me." Heather asks knowing this is going to be difficult.
"We shall not fail you, my queen." Throk promises as they leave to stop the lava.
"You can fly with me and Toothless." Hiccup says when the dragons snarl at something and dragon arrows come flying from bushes.
"Dragon Hunters." Astrid sees.
"Take to the air." Hiccup tells them and they all get on their dragons when Mala leaps into the bushes with her sword and fights the Hunters off singlehandedly.
"She is definitely coming with us." Snotlout says and looks to Hiccup. "And to think you didn't want her to come, Hiccup."
Hiccup just sighs and looks to the Hunters.
"Which way did they go? Tell us." Astrid tells them and they're not talking when Toothless roars at their faces.
"North! Viggo went north with the dragon." The Hunters spill.
"Thanks, bud." Hiccup says as he climbs his dragon and Mala's men take the Hunters away and they take to the sky.
-
"It's quite a rush, isn't it?" Hiccup asks Mala.
"Indeed." She replies as they fly out and spot the ship.
"There he is." Astrid calls out.
"Viggo and the Eruptodon, traveling without any backup?" Fishlegs asks. "That weird."
"Yeah, you're right. He's up to something." Hiccup agrees as they fly off towards the ship and Hiccup moves Mala over to Snotlout. "Why don't you two hang back? Something doesn't feel right, and highs not used to aerial combat."
"Remember, Hiccup, if you fail me-"
"I know, you will kill me." Hiccup remembers and flies off with the others. "Okay, everyone, let's ambush him before he can react."
The three dragons all fly in and start shooting at the ship.
"I'm gonna take a closer look, cover me." Hiccup tells them as he flies in and avoids the arrows. "I don't see Viggo or Ryker, they must be down below."
"Then we're gonna need to clear the deck." Astrid says and they fly in closer to the ship and take out their weaponry and sails so they can't get away and Hiccup lands on the deck with the last archer who's scared of them and tries running.
Toothless and Hiccup chase him as he runs into the sail and knocks himself out. More men come in and Stormfly shoots her spines at them.
"That's far enough." Astrid says as she lands and Fishlegs follows.
"If any of 'em move, Meatlug, eat them." Fishlegs gets his dragon and the Hunters leap over the edge.
Hiccup takes his sword and shield to confront Viggo and free the Eruptodon. "High alert, bud, we're going below. Keep your eye out for an escape hatch." He tells the others and goes below deck.
Toothless lights up the dark hallway as Hiccup and toothless see that Viggo and the dragon aren't here.
"We searched everywhere. No vigho, no Eruptodon. The Hunters he left behind on the island were another misdirect." Hiccup tells them and mounts Toothless. "If Viggo wanted us to go north, he is definitely heading south. I just hope Heather and the twins are having better luck with the lava than we are." He says as they all take to the sky.
-
Back on the island, Heather sliced the trees down to act as blockade for the lava like they did on the Edge when the twins drop a bolder.
"Bombs away!" Ruffnut calls and the Boulder breaks the blockade.
"All right, you two are grounded!" Heather tells the twins aboard Windshear.
"What?" Ruffnut asks.
"Objection, Your Heather, the defense purports you to be out of said jurisdiction." Tuffnut says and just angers Heather. "But we will agree to a short recess." He says and the twins drop to the ground as Heather tries to fight the urge to hit one of them. Or both of them at once.
-
Mala later explains to them how the Eruptodon needs to eat lava constantly to survive and Viggo must know that and that means they need to find a volcano to eat.
"It will eat through the crust of a dormant volcano until it erupts." Mala warns him and Hiccup then remembers that they have a dormant volcano at the Edge.
"He did a Maces and Talons move. He's going to use the Eruptodon to destroy our home and force the dragons to leave so he can capture them." Hiccup realizes and they all fly off towards the Edge to stop it.
-
Heather and the defenders push as many holders as they could to stop the lava and it's failing.
"We can't stop it. It's going to reach the village." Heather says. "I'm so sorry." She gets Throk who gets about.
With the twins, their dragon starts beating the statue of the Eruptodon until it falls over and becomes a blockade for the lava flow.
"Snatched from the mouth of defeat!" Tuffnut cheers.
"Victory is ours!" Ruffnut cheers as the the lava pushes the statue and the twins fall off it.
"The Tuffnut rests!" Tuffnut shouts as the lava starts rising over the statue and Heather sees their job isn't done yet.
-
Hiccup and his team has made it back to the Edge and sees the Eruptodon.
"All right, the fastest way to the volcano is straight over the island. We'll-"
"Hiccup!"
"What, Fishlegs?"
"I don't think we can go straight over the island."
"Why?" Hiccup asks when they see that the Hunters have taken over their weapons on the Edge and are aiming at them and they move around the attack. "We'll have to try and fly around the Edge."
"I don't think that'll work either." Fishlegs says as they see their ships are near.
"We're totally overpowered." Snotlout says.
Hiccup just yells out of frustration. "Think." He tells himself. "Wait, I got it. Fly as close as you can to the Hunters' ships." He tells the team and flies off.
"You want us to do what?" Snotlout asks.
"Trust me." Hiccup says and they all go flying in to see what he has in mind when the Hunters men fire the weapons and the boulders hit their ships.
"Your gamesmanship makes me proud to call you my friend." Fishlegs tells Hiccup as they've outsmarted Viggo.
"Hiccup, we're running out of time." Astrid says as they see the volcano is about to erupt.
"We'll never get past this ballista, Astrid built it." Snotlout says.
Hiccup looks and starts coming with a game plan. "Okay, here's what I want you to do..."
The Eruptodon is going through the volcano and Fishlegs with Astrid fly close to the ballista.
We get hit by that, we're dead." Fishlegs says.
"Let me worry about the ballista. You guys fly West and draw the catapult fire." Hiccup tells them. "Just trust me." He says before flying off to do their parts.
Hiccup and Toothless fly into the ballista and stop for Mala to leap off his back and take down the man controlling the ballista and the others with ease.
Mala then takes control of the ballista and they start chasing the Hunters out as they make their way to the Eruptodon.
Hiccup gets off of Toothless and heads towards the dragon.
"It's okay, you're all...you're all good, big boy." Hiccup says as the Eruptodon turns and roars at him. "Okay, fair enough."
"He's in a feeding frenzy. Nothing will stop him." Mala tells Hiccup and they see the volcano is about to blow.
"We can't loose the edge, but I'm more worried for all the dragons we've rescued." Hiccup admits. "We have to stop him."
"I now understand m Hiccup Haddock, you're not an enemy to dragons. The good of the many outweighs the good of the few, but with all this knowledge you have, what good can it do for one starving dragon?" Mala asks of him and Hiccup remembers something Tuffnut said.
"Wait a minute, Meatlug!" Hiccup call's out and Fishlegs gets the idea and starts trying to spew lava and she's out.
"She used her lava out during the battle." Fishlegs says and Hiccup has another idea.
Hiccup does a specific whistle and calls upon the other Gronckles on the island and they start spewing lava for the Eruptodon.
"Looks like all of these years of training is paying off well recently." Hiccup comments since Heather suggested this idea.
"Your dragons are not unlike our beloved Eruptodon, and will stop at nothing to protect your home." Mala tells Hiccup. "They are truly part of your tribe."
"No, they are my tribe." Hiccup corrects her.
"Okay, am I the only one who thinks this is gross?" Snotlout asks since the Eruptodon is basically eating puke.
-
They bring the Eruptodon back to the Defenders of the Wing island and they all follow.
"It is a good day, a day we shall always remember. The Great Protector has been returned, the village is safe once more, and the Defenders of the Wing have new allies in our fight against Viggo Grimborn." Mala tells them. "Night and Shadow, and their Dragon Riders." They all cheer and are happy to have allies in this fight.
Now all that's left is to come up with a plan to stop Viggo.
