Elsa and Rapunzel were dragged from the cells with Erret, her hands still bound to the dragon proof chains. Elsa and Rapunzel finally were standing in front of the army of Dragon Hunters and their leaders when they were forced to their knees.

Drago growled and knew they still were missing the Night Fury and his Dragon Rider, the one that they were always after.

Marching over towards the prisoners, Drago growled and leaned in close, scaring Rapunzel. "Where is your rider?"

"What?" Elsa asked, not understanding.

"Where is the one who controls the Night Fury?" Drago asked, getting louder.

"You mean Hiccup?" Rapunzel asked.

"You'll never find him." Elsa promised with a smile. "And if he does come here, if he does find you, he'll come prepared. You'll never be able to stop him. And if you so much a touch us, Hiccup will-"

"Hiccup?" Drago interrupted, that being the first he or any of his partners have heard his name before.

Elsa mistakenly let that slip but decides to go with it to try and intimidate them. "That's right. He's not only tamed a Night Fury, but he's one of the most vicious warriors I've ever had the honor of seeing in action."

"Dragon tamer?" Drago asked with a scoff. "I alone control the dragons!"

"Eh." Rapunzel shrugged, helping Elsa out to intimidate them.

"And if you do plan on hurting us, I promise you, when he gets here, he will blast through here on his Night Fury and blow your entire fleet to splinters with the help of his friends. The Princess of Heart, Raya, her own dragon, Sisu, and the Spirit of Winter, Jack Frost."

"Jack Frost?" A familiar voice asked, scaring them as Elsa, Rapunzel, and Eret turn to watch as a giant cloud of smoke comes and swirls around the opening. Pitch Black then comes into view, chuckling as he slowly approached them. "You honestly think that man will be able to help? You don't know anything about him."

That got Elsa and Rapunzel confused as to what he's tabling about. But then he started to come closer, scaring Elsa as to what he wants with her as a few sprinkles of dust fall off of him and start to circle her neck.

"You'll never get away with this." Elsa promised. "We'll stop you."

"Oh, child. More powerful than you have tried." Pitch chuckled as the few pieces of dust made their way inside her skin, feeding off her fear.

"Hold on!" Hiccup called after Valka as they raced through the corridors of the tunnel as Jack followed him closely, as did Toothless who was trying to navigate the rough corridors. "Wait just a minute! I-"

"This way," Valka cut in, turning around to face them briefly before leaping over a stone as if she had done it a gazillion times.

"Wait!" Hiccup shouted. "Come back here! I have questions!"

"Come," his mother said in reply, maneuvering herself over rocks and between stones, and even under a few more jagged pieces of ice.

"Man, she is fast." Jack complimented as he was the only one he knew that could move that fast. But in his defense, he never had the fear of dying.

"You can't just say something like that," Hiccup went on as they make their way through the small corridor, "and runoff! You're my mother!? I mean, what the…? Do yo-do you grasp not insane it sounds!?"

"Come! Quickly!" Valka urged, climbing up a steep rock and disappearing over the side of it.

Jack jumped up it with ease, but Hiccup struggled, slipping every time he was certain he had a grip.

"I have questions!" Hiccup shouted.

Jack rolled his eyes as he squinted his knees and held out his staff for him to grab. Hiccup grabbed the end of the stick and Jack pulled him up with the help of Toothless, and they continued following his mother, who was still jumping around the rocks like some sort of super squirrel.

"Where have you been all this time!? What've you been doing!? They said you were dead! Everyone thinks you were eaten by…" Hiccup's voice trailed off as they stepped out of the tunnel and into the light.

To the point even Jack had to stop and admire the sight in front of him.

There were dragons everywhere. Everywhere they turned, another dragon came out of nowhere. They flocked like schools of fish, flying in dozens of different formations, some of them wrestling another dragon to the ground with playful bites and scratches.

"Dragons." Jack muttered as he and Hiccup looked around.

"Hey!" Someone called, making the two looks as Sisu came back down, and they saw she and everyone else was safe on her back. "There you guys are. Wondering where they took you to."

"Sisu. Raya. Anna." Hiccup sighed in relief as he saw they were all okay. "Thank Thor."

"Hey, who was that new rider?" Raya asked as she slid off of Sisu, quickly helping Anna get down and off her back.

"That's where things get interesting." Jack said with a smile. "Apparently, she's Hiccup's mother."

That shocked all three of them as they would not have guessed that if they had a million guesses.

"Wait, your mother?" Anna asked again for clarity. "I thought she died."

"Killed by dragons." Hiccup said with confirmation and started to look around to see where she got to.

Raya was the one to spot Valka and her dragon who were hanging from a rocky overhang.

"This is where you've been, for twenty years?" Hiccup asked. He sounded breathless in awe and shock.

Valka nodded.

"You've been rescuing them," Hiccup breathed.

Valka nodded again, this time, smiling.

"That smile's a little creepy." Jack had to admit, earning a smack from Toothless before he was suddenly getting surrounded by dragons.

"Unbelievable." Hiccup sighed.

"You're not upset?" Valka asked.

"What?" Hiccup asked, that being the last thing he's feeling right now. "No. I mean...I don't know. It's a bit much to get my head around, to be frank. It's not every day you find out your mother is some kind of crazy, feral, vigilante dragon lady."

"Oh," Valka said as she laughed. Her dragon lowered her to the ground, and she made her way towards Hiccup and the others. "Well...At least I'm not boring, right?"

"Well," Hiccup began as one of the other dragons started to nudge against him, "I suppose there is that...one...specific...thing."

Some of the other dragons also started to circle Sisu as they've never seen a dragon like her before.

"Oh, hello." Sisu greeted them as the dragons just kept pushing against her. "Hey, hey! Five feet, guys. I need some space." She asked of them as another sniffed behind her, pushing her as she shrieked. "Hey! What did I just say?"

Valka was shocked to see she was witnessing a talking dragon. "And who are your friends?"

"Oh, right." Hiccup realized he never introduced his mom to his friends. "Mom, these are my friends. That's Anna, Princess of Arendelle. Raya, Princess of Heart and her dragon Sisu."

Sisu stopped trying to swat the dragons away and turned to face Valka politely. "Hi, pleasure to meet you, Mother Hiccup."

Valka laughed at how she addressed her and looked over to Jack. "And what of him?"

Jack was shocked to see this woman was somehow a believer of him. "What? You can see me? Come on, where have you been for the past few years?"

"That's Jack Frost." Hiccup answered while rolling his eyes.

Valka was surprised and apparently understood what that name meant. "Hm." She then looked over and saw Toothless screeching at the baby dragons.

Toothless was being surrounded by curious dragons who were sniffing him.

At length, once the Night Fury had had enough, he roared at them, scaring them off effortlessly. Valka stepped towards Toothless and glanced back at Hiccup.

"Can-can I…?" she asked as Hiccup nodded, and Valka put her hand out towards Toothless. "Oh, he's beautiful!" she said in amazement.

Toothless rubbed against her hand, his tongue flopping out of his mouth.

"Oh, incredible!" Valka said. "He might very well be the last of his kind."

Toothless pressed against her and rolled over on his back, his head in her lap.

"Oh, and look!" Valka said, excitedly as she tapped a few of his scales. "He's your age!"

"Wow." Hiccup chuckled, amazed to see that his mother was as much of a dragon lover as he was.

"Think we learned where you get it from." Raya whispered to him.

Toothless' teeth sheathed into his gums, and Valka looked at them with awe. "And retractable teeth!" she said, practically sticking her entire head into Toothless' mouth to look at his gums. "How did you manage to…" Her voice trailed off, and Hiccup spoke.

"I found him in the woods. He was...um...shot down and wounded." Hiccup put his hands behind his back and nodded as if trying to reassure himself.

Valka looked up at him and stepped away from Toothless, towards another dragon they had noticed when they walked in. "This Snafflefang lost his leg to one of Drago Bludvist's iron traps," she said sadly. Without waiting for them to respond, she walked towards another maimed dragon. "This Raincutter had her wing sliced open by razor netting," she said.

Valka walked towards one last dragon. This particular dragon's eyes were clouded over and foggy. "And this poor Hobblegrunt was blinded by a tree snare," Valka said, "and then left to die alone, and scared."

Valka knelt beside Toothless' tail fin and held it up. "And what of this?" she asked. "Did Drago or his trappers do this, too?"

Hiccup laughed awkwardly. "Heh, well, crazy thing is...I'm actually the one who shot him down. Hey, it's...it's okay, though!" he promised when he saw Valka's confused expression. "He got me back. Right, bud?" Toothless cooed in agreement. "You couldn't save all of me, could you?" Hiccup said. "You just had to make it even! So…peg leg!" Hiccup lifted his leg off the ground, his prosthetic in full view.

Toothless flipped Hiccup up in the air so that the boy landed on his back, and Hiccup leaned against Toothless' neck, rubbing his head.

"Uh..." Valka smiled nervously. "What did your father think of you and your Night fury friend?" She wondered as she kneeled down and scratched Toothless.

"Uh...he didn't exactly take it very well." Hiccup had to admit, even though he didn't wanna get into the full story. "I tried to maybe have them see them as I do, but...things happened."

Valka nodded, as if she understood what he was saying. "I tried as well, Hiccup, but those people are incapable of change." She then looked over to her dragon who was getting ready for takeoff. "Some of us are just born different."

She sighed and glanced back at the ground, a distant look in her eyes. "Berk was a land of kill or be killed," she said as she remembered what Berk used to be like, remembering the sky dark and smoke filling the air. She could count all the dragons soaring through the sky. "It was a very unpopular opinion," she murmured under her breath. "Then, one night, a dragon broke into our house, finding you in the cradle." The dragon caving in the roof, running towards a baby's cradle being a constant memory of her's.

"I rushed to protect you," Valka continued. "But...what I saw...was proof of everything I believed. This was not a vicious beast, but an intelligent, gentle creature, whose soul reflected my own."

"Your father came running in at that moment," Valka went on. "He told me to run. The dragon tried to defend itself, and...I suppose he saw me as one of their own."

"And he took you," Hiccup finished her story for her.

Valka sighed and nodded. "Yes. You and your father nearly died that night...all because I couldn't kill a dragon."

Hiccup smiled softly, exhaling through his nose. "Yeah, it runs in the family."

The comment seemed to go unnoticed by his mother. "It broke my heart to stay away," Valka said, "but I believed you'd be safer if I did."

The conversation was growing depressing, so Anna decided it was time to change the subject. "How did you survive?"

Valka's features brightened as she walked, and they quickly followed. "Oh, Cloudjumper never meant to harm me," she said, walking towards the cliffside as they followed her gaze. "He thought I belonged here. In the home of the great Bewilderbeast!"

They looked over the side of the cliff, just as a huge, monstrous, white dragon rose up. Its tusks were as white as snow, the ends sharp, but not pointy.

This creature looked absolutely amazing. It had large spikes on its back, and there were more spines on its head that seemed to match that of the jagged ice cave, and Valka's mask.

"The Alpha species," Valka explained. "One of the very last few that still exist. Every nest has its queen, but this is the king of all the dragons! With his icy breath, this graceful creature built our nest. A safe haven for dragons everywhere."

"Huh. We should start a club of ice spitters." Jack commented as he flew down to get a closer look at the big guy.

"Wait, that's the ice spitter?" Hiccup asked, remembering their run in with Eret mentioning the ice spitting dragon. "He's responsible for all that destruction?"

"He protects us," Valka said, almost defensively. "We all live under his care and his command. All but the babies, of course…"

"What do you mean?" Raya asked, not following what she's saying.

Valka nodded towards the Bewilderbeast, and when they looked, they saw what Valka was talking about. Baby dragons were climbing all over him, biting at his horns and sliding down his tusks, growling happily all the while.

"They listen to no one," Valka finished with a chuckle.

The Bewilderbeast gently blew the baby dragons off his face, and then turned in their direction. He studied them carefully with his old, wise eyes.

"I've lived among them for twenty years," Valka said. "Learning their ways, discovering their secrets."

The Bewilderbeast blew frost towards the group, and it collected in their hair. Valka laughed while they desperately tried shaking the snow out of their scalps.

"He likes you and your friends." Valka said with a laugh.

"Wow," Hiccup breathed.

"That's why everyone's irritated when I do that." Jack realized as he tried to get it out.

Valka then turned back towards their direction. "You must be hungry," she suddenly realized. "You must've had a long journey to get here."

Hiccup looked and saw they were all hungry as they were kicked out from Berk before they could even get a decent meal. All except Sisu.

"Yeah," Hiccup agreed with a small shrug of his shoulders. "We could eat."

"Good." Valka said, almost excitedly. "It's feeding time!"

She then ran off and gestured for them to follow, which they did.

"Uh, guys? What about...?" Anna was saying when everyone already left. Anna was concerned for her sister and Rapunzel but supposed that after everything they need some food and rest before they could think of a rescue plan to save them.

Besides, now they've actually got Valka and their own army of dragons, maybe she could help them get them out.
