A pristine view of Berk is shown, the sun is shining, birds are squawking as the island gets closer and closer.
"This is Berk. The best kept secret on this side of, well anywhere. Granted it may not look like much but this wet heap of rock packs more than a few surprises."
A few shadows dash over the village as a few sheep hid under a building, shaking in fear before making a break for another building, sticking together.
"Life here is amazing, just not for the faint of heart. You see where most folks enjoy hobbies like whittling or needle point. We Berkains prefer..."
A shadow dashes by as grabs one of the terrified sheep.
"A little something we like to call..."
Some colorful blurs sped through the village.
"Dragon racing!"
The riders and their dragons fly through the village, Fishlegs and Meatlug smiling widely as they held one of the sheep.
"WHOOOO!" Fishlegs exclaimed.
"Alright!" Meatlug added before Hookfang smashed into her, knocking the sheep out of her claws and into Snotlout's arms.
"Oh-ho! I'm sorry Fishlegs? Did you want that?!" Snotlout sneered.
"Oh, I'm so sorry your weak little claws aren't strong enough to hold a little sheep!" Hookfang added as Fishlegs and Meatlug both glared at them.
"Snotlout that was mine!" Fishlegs snapped as Hookfang slowed down and flew next to Barf and Belch.
"Here you go babe." Snotlout said as he threw a sheep to Ruffnut.
"Here we go again." Barf said as he rolled his eyes.
"Did I tell you that you look amazing today? Because you do." He said as Ruffnut groaned.
"Ugh, come on Barf it's startin' to stink around here." She said as Barf let some gas escape his maw.
"Nope, still hates you." Tuffnut said as Belch flew closer.
"Let's blow this place Belch!" He exclaimed.
"With pleasure!" Belch exclaimed before he lit the gas on fire.
"Ah!" Snotlout exclaimed as the gas exploded.
"All right!" Tuffnut exclaimed as Barf and Belch swung past a basket with a Zippleback painted on it, throwing the sheep inside.
"Haha! That's 9 for the twins!" Stoick exclaimed happily, "Astrid lags with three! Fishlegs and Snotlout trail with none!"
"And Hiccup is..." Stoick looked at a basket with two Night Furies painted on it, "nowhere to be found. Hmmm." He said expectantly before sitting down in his chair.
"Scared 'im off with the big talk didn't ya Stoick?" Gobber said as Stoick looked around in annoyance.
Astrid fly down and smacked Snotlout on the hair as she and Stormfly flew next to him.
"What are you doing Snotlout? They're gonna win now." She said irritably.
"She's my princess, whatever she wants she gets." He stated as if it were obvious.
"Ruffnut? Didn't she try to bury you alive?" Astrid asked in shock.
"Only for a few hours." He chuckled as they all joined back up.
"Now dragons used to be a bit of a problem here, but we sorted that out 5 years ago. Now they've all moved in, and really, why wouldn't they? We have custom stables."
The riders fly through a stable filled with Deadly Nadders.
"Feeding stations."
They fly out of the stables and over a huge well filled to the brim with fish, where a Nadder was having its fair share of the content.
"A full scale dragon wash."
A Gronkle scrubs itself happily on a stone covered with dull spikes as its supposed hatchling wanders off and sneezes, setting a rooftop on fire, catching Astrid's attention.
"And top of the line fire prevention if I do say so myself."
Stormfly swings past and Astrid pulls down on a rope, making water pour over the flame, extinguishing it instantly before they flew back over to the track.
"it's time Gobber." Stoick said as Gobber nodded and waved his hand in the air.
"Righty-ho, last lap!" He exclaimed as a man blew a huge horn.
"The black sheep! Come on Stormfly we can still win this thing!" Astrid exclaimed as Stormfly started to fly faster.
"Don't you mean will win this." She smirked as she flew even faster.
"Come on Barf!"
"Let's go!"
"Go Meatlug!"
All the riders yelled at their dragons, pleading them to go faster as Gobber pulled out a catapult-like contraption and put a black sheep inside.
"This is your big moment. Have a nice flight!" He exclaimed as the sheep's eyes widened in horror before he pulled the lever, sending the sheep higher and higher into the air.
"Up! Up, up, up, up!" Astrid exclaimed as Stormfly readied her claws as they flew closer and closer to the sheep until...
"YES!"
"No!"
Astrid angrily hit Stormfly's saddle as Fishlegs and Meatlug raced by, holding the black sheep as they whooped in victory.
"Here you go darling! Mine's worth 10!" He exclaimed as Meatlug threw the sheep at Ruffnut, who caught it.
"The black sheep!" She exclaimed, a wicked grin spread across her face as Astrid's jaw hung open.
"You two are fighting for Ruffnut?!" She exclaimed in shock as Snotlout flew up next to her.
"I'm totally winning!" She exclaimed as Fishlegs flew up to her.
"We're winning together." He said dreamily as Barf smacked into Meatlug, sending her tumbling into Hookfang, who was right before them.
"No one can stop me now!" Ruffnut exclaimed as Tuffnut shot her a glare.
"Except for me! We're attached genius!" He said as he tried to grab the sheep from his sister's arms.
"Here we go again." Belch said unenthusiastically.
"Quit trying to steal all my glory!" Tuffnut exclaimed as Stormfly flew up behind them and Astrid jumped up from her saddle and stood on her back, a determined grin on her face.
"Oooooh, I love the flip and steal." Stormfly said as she flew a bit closer.
"Get 'me Astrid!" Stoick exclaimed as she jumped off of Stormfly's back and onto Barf and Belch's
"You're alway ruining everything!"
"No sheep! No glory-"
"Gotcha! Haha!" Astrid exclaimed as she snatched the sheep from Ruffnut and Tuffnut's arms before jumping back ontoStormfly.
"Well played! Haha! That's my future daughter-in-law!" He exclaimed happily, giving Spitelout a rousing punch on the shoulder as he smiled slightly before !eatlug smashed into Stormfly, making her lose control for a few seconds.
"Hey!" She snapped irritably.
"Uh, excuse me." Snotlout said as he flew in front of Astrid and held up a hammer.
"Stormfly!" She exclaimed as Stormfly dove and Snotlout accidentally hit Fishlegs in the face, making the crowd do an apologetic 'oooooooh'.
"Mayday! Mayday! Nadder down!" Stormfly screamed as she tried double back and Astrid clutched the sheep while trying to pulled her back as well, until she finally flipped over and flew above the baskets, Astrid slamming the sheep into the basket with a Nadder painted on it as a man waved a flag, the entire crowd cheering at the top of their lungs.
"That's 13! Astrid takes the game!" Stoick exclaimed cheerfully as the crowd cheered even louder, Astrid standing on Stormfly's back and pumping her fist up in victory.
"We did it!" Stormfly exclaimed.
"Yep, Berk is pretty much perfect. All of my hard work has paid off."
The twins watch Astrid angrily before getting into a slap fight.
"And it's a good thing too."
Stormfly swoops down and Astrid high fives some excited fans.
"Because with Vikings on the backs of dragons..."
Fishlegs and Snotlout duck as Stormfly speeds past them and into the puffy white clouds.
"The world just got a whole lot bigger."
Hey guys, so I'm super sorry for not updating on Tuesday or yesterday! I honestly don't really have any excuse except for the fact that I'm co-writing a chapter of 'Soul of a Dragon' with someone and we've been having trouble trying to find a good time to work on it. Also I was busy yesterday night and I couldn't write on my phone because it was way too hard and I didn't want to deal with it. Soooooooo, yeah. Sorry. Oh! Also, sorry that this chapter is kinda short, I didn't know how to make it any longer without making it way too long.
