Hello everyone, it's been long since I wrote this, and I'm very sorry for the long wait. But for now, I have to keep this short since I'm a bit lazy. So, anyways, here's the next chapter.


Chapter 24: Live and Let fly

In a small cave, Fishlegs was tied to a chair, being interrogated by someone. The riders weren't there, it was hard to see without any light. Then a voice spoke, "Tell us what you know about the dragons, boy. Tell us how you train them!"

Fishlegs tried to stay all though, "I won't talk! You can't make me!"

"Oh, I think we can."

Suddenly, the light torches in the cave go out, and Fishlegs is now bathed in an eerie darkness. Fishlegs began to freak out, he hates the dark. He was afraid of the dark since he was a kid. "Hello? Is anybody there?" Fishlegs yelled out, but no one responded.

That's when Fishlegs screams, "Oh, you can't- you can't leave me in here. Okay, okay! Hiccup is the leader of the Berk Dragon Academy! He owns a Night Fury named Toothless! Then there's Astrid! She's mean, but in a nice way. Her dragon is Deadly Nadder, shoots spines, loves chicken! Snotlout rides a Monstrous Nightmare, but were not actually sure who's more monstrous, him or the dragon! Then there's Mira, she's fast, smart, and pretty. Her dragon is a Night Fury named Sapphire. Then there's Kishi who shares the same body with a dragon name Mors, who can turn to a dragon and when they're together they're called Statera. Then there's the Twins. They share a Zippleback, actually they fight over it."

Once he finished, a familiar sound of Toothless charging a plasma blast came, as the plasma blast lights up two torches. Fishlegs was able to see Meatlug and Toothless by his sides, and the other dragon riders with torches, revealing their annoyed expressions because Fishlegs failed a test. The test was an interrogation, they can't reveal anything to enemy lines. Fishlegs looks at them and said, "What?! You KNOW I hate the dark!"

Tuffnut scoffed and said to Ruffnut, "Great. Fishlegs? More like "Guppylegs". Jeez..." He mutters out.

Hiccup sighs in frustration, "Fishlegs, you can't cave in! Alvin would do a lot more than turn out the light to get you to talk. He had me locked in a dungeon ready to be executed! Toothless was chained in muzzle for days." Hiccup took a deep breath as he closes his eyes, after a few seconds, he opens his eyes and said, "You need to stick with what we discussed: your name, where you live, and nothing else."

Fishlegs sighs and said, "All right, I'll work on it!"

Hiccup nodded as he walks away with the others. Astrid was talking with Mira as she said, ""Mean"? I'm not mean." She turns to Mira, "I'm not mean, right?"

Mira shrugs, "Well…most of the time, when you're angry, no offense." She said quickly, but Astrid understood as she nodded.

Then Snotlout butts in, "It's okay, Astrid. I like mean girls."

Astrid was disgusted by him, "Ugh!" She walks away angrily as they all went out, leaving behind a still tied up Fishlegs.

Fishlegs looks at his dragon and asked for help. "Hey, girl. Can you untie me? Please?"

Instead, Meatlug went to his other side and fall asleep, leaving Fishlegs in the dark. Fishlegs sighs, he's gonna be here all night. Then he heard someone coming back in. He heard Mira's voice, "Fishlegs?" She came in with Solarium the Fireworm guiding her with his glow. She went back and unties him. Fishlegs got up and smiles.

"Thanks, Mira, I owe you one." He said.

Mira nodded as they went out and headed towards the Academy. But, once they did, there was an announcement of ban of flying, meaning no dragon flying. Everyone wasn't happy, especially the dragons. Astrid was angry of them all, "And you agreed? Just like that?" She asked Hiccup harshly.

Hiccup sighs and said. "What other choice did I have? He's the chief, who also happens to be my incredibly overprotective father."

Astrid didn't want to be grounded. "Well, we have to get him to change his mind!" She said.

Fishlegs gave her a disbelief look, "Stoick the Vast? Um, good luck with that." He said.

Snotlout became frustrated, "So what am I supposed to do with Hookfang if he can't fly?" Snotlout points his dragon, who was behind him. Hookfang made his tail light on fire a bit and Snotlout said, "You know what happens when is inner warrior is caged up?"

To answer that question, Hookfang smacks him across the Academy with his burning tail, Snotlout skids over to Astrid who uses her boot to stop him. Snotlout galres at his dragon under Astrid's boot, "THAT is what happens!"

Tufffnut grins as he laughs a little. "Whoa, we should have caged his inner warrior a long time ago. That was awesome!"

Ruffnut chuckles in agreement. "Yeah."

Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Look, I know this is going to be hard, but I'll keep working on my dad, and hopefully he'll change his mind."

Astrid looks at him blankly, "And what if he doesn't?"

That's when Kishi added, "Then we have to learn how to defend ourselves without our dragons." Kishi looks over to Mira, as she watches Lavender sleeping on top of Scourge's back as if he was his brother. Mira notices Kishi was looking at her as she turns and looks at him with a questionable look.

"Mira, we should head home, and tell the dragons about this." Mira nodded as they all walked home to get a goodnights rest. On the next day, Mira was at the boat as she fixes a fishing net, Sapphire was sleeping behind her as she relaxes a bit. Then Astrid and Hiccup walked on board with their dragons behind.

"Hey Mira." Astrid greeted.

Mira greeted them back and asked. "Is there anything I can do?"

Astrid and Hiccup looked at each other before looking at Mira. Hiccup cleared his throat and said. "Well, Mira, we're forming a dragon flight club."

Mira blinks at them in confusion. "A dragon what?"

Astrid steps in and explains, "It's a secret society that no one knows. You're not to tell anyone else as we train our dragons surreptitiously at night, to sharpen our dragon training abilities against attacks by Alvin."

Hiccup nodded. "And the most important rule is that there is no dragon flight club." Hiccup said. "It's a secret and no one, not even my dad, knows about it."

Mira looks at them worriedly. "Are you sure it's a good idea?"

Astrid waves at her. "Sure it is. Snotlout and Fishlegs agreed, even the twins, who had difficulties understanding the rules."

Mira bites her lips a little and thinks about it. This 'Dragon Flight Club' can strengthen their skills, and can help them learn about the dragons at night. Taking a deep breathe, Mira looks at them and nodded, "Okay, I'm in." She said.

They all met at the Academy to get ready for their dragon exercises that begins at night, Statera joined in because they were getting bored of staying grounded. Karma was in charge in the house while she and the other dragons watch over Mira's and Sapphire's siblings. Their first exercise, is to study about Changewings at Changewing Island. They position themselves in a safe distance, studying Changewings hunting a boar for food. The Changewings surrounded the single boar and were ready to eat it until Tuff yelled out. "You leave Bjorn Boar alone!"

"TUFF!" Statera roared in his mind causing him to yell in pain.

Abandoning the hunt, the Changewings attack them instead, and they attempt to flee. The Riders are overwhelmed by sudden Changewing attacks as they come out almost nowhere. They devise a counterattack by going up in the sky where the Changewings do not have anything to disguise themselves with, and they are no match for the Riders' attacks and they were about to turn back when they notice Mira. They stopped their attacks and zooms over to Mira happily, flying around her and Sapphire. The riders were confused of their sudden behavior, Mira was also confused on why the Changewings were acting so nice to her and Sapphire, but not the others.

Hiccup clears his throat and said. "Okay…add this to the notes. Whenever we go on a mission, dragons would always be happy with Mira…for some reason."

Mira was being nuzzled by a happy Changewing on her cheek as she gently brushes him off. "Can we go now? Before anything weird happens…again." Mira said. They all nodded before heading back to Berk while the Changewings returned to their island.


The next morning, Scourge was having a morning stroll with Lavender on his back. He doesn't mind that the young Night Fury female was on his back, she's still shy around humans and other dragons. Heck, she was even afraid of the human hatchlings here. Scourge can't fly because of the stupid ban. He wanted to march over to Stoick's house, and roar at his face, but he couldn't, because Karma forbidden him. Scourge walks pass Gobber's shop, when he notices Scourge's pack member, a Ground Crawler named Diggerfang, was looking at Gobber, fiddling on Hiccup's shield that he made to defend himself. The two dragons looked at each other before noticing Stoick coming in. He calls to Gobber when suddenly the shield activates its grappling line, causing to tie itself on Stoick before pulling towards Gobber, their faces inches close to each other. Diggerfang burst into a dragon like laugh as he rolls on the ground, laughing like no tomorrow. Scourge was too laughing while Lavender was trying her best not to laugh, fearing she might get in trouble. Gobber and Stoick notices this as Gobber was able to remove the rope quickly.

Stoick clears his throat, ignoring Diggerfang laughing none stop while Scourge and Lavender stared at the laughing dragon. Stoick looks at Gobber and said, "Did you finish the new adjustments for the saddle of Thornado?"

Gobber nodded his head, "It's finish and it will work perfect for maneuvers on Thornado, but nonetheless will matter right now due to the ban."

But Stoick does not recall the ban he gave, which prompts Gobber to conclude that Stoick can't resist no dragon flying also. Stoick confesses and tells Gobber to not mention anyone about him flying Thornado against his own word especially to Hiccup, as he patrols the seas for enemy activity at night, Gobber keeps his secret until he accidently presses a trigger that activates a mini catapult that slaps Gobber on the face. Diggerfang laughs again when he saw that while Scourge raised a scaly brow. Oh, he is so going to tell the others on their next secret club meeting, this is so gonna be good to watch and he's sick of walking around instead of flying. So, sneaking off, Scourge decided to go on the training mission with the riders, so he could tell them about Stoick's plan with the help of Kishi's translation.

At nightfall, the Riders once again do their dragon studying, where they study the scorch mark of a Typhoomerang. Hiccup notes that the scorch mark was just formed recently and the Typhoomerang that made it might be still near, Snotlout spots the huge Typhoomerang about to charge on them and they hurriedly wrap up the studying and flees. But soon learns that it was Sunburn, aka Tourch's sister, and she was happy to see Mira again since she remembers Mira's scent very well. As they took off home, Tuffnut notices someone familiar up ahead and said. "Hey, Hiccup? I didn't know your dad was a member in the club."

"He's not." Hiccup said.

Scourge, with a sleeping Lavender on his back, was flying beside Kishi, who is in Mors's form, growls at him gently. Kishi's eyes widen in shock when he heard that and send a telepathic message to the others. "Scourge said that Stoick didn't allow himself to be ban because he can't resist no dragon flying also."

"Oh, so he did." Hiccup mutters before he saw his father and Thornado coming. "Quick, hide in the clouds." And they did, they fly there until they reach the village, undetected by Stoick. However, the Twins find it hard to navigate their way and they decide to look down in an upside-down form, exposing their heads and Barf and Belch's. Stoick immediately spots the strange figure and chases them, Hiccup tells the Riders to split up and head back to their homes and keep their dragons hidden, and pretend nothing happened.

All the Riders succeed to return to their homes undetected, however, Fishlegs and Meatlug arrive a little too late as Stoick catches them and requests that he come with him. Fishlegs is brought into the Great Hall, where Stoick and Gobber questions him over and over what were they doing flying and who was involved also. Fishlegs thinks he is being interrogated and recalls what Hiccup told him what to say only, his name, where he lives, and nothing else. Fishlegs succeeds in keeping his mouth shut, even the torches inside go out.

The next night, Fishlegs is freed and meets the Riders at the Academy where Hiccup asks if Fishlegs confessed. Fishlegs tells Hiccup he did not crack, Hiccup tells the Riders to lay low until his father forgets suspicion about them after last night and he delays their dragon exercises. However, Snotlout and Hookfang arrives noisily after unprecedented patrol with his dragon saying that Alvin and the Outcasts are seen near Berk and are planning an attack. Hiccup heads home and tells his father that Alvin is about to invade Berk, this causes Stoick to conclude that they were flying their dragons, disobeying the ban. But Hiccup tells his father, that how come he can fly his dragon. Speechless, Stoick just changes the topic to proceed with the defense against Alvin's impending attack and requests the full Academy, but they are already prepared to roll and is right in front of his doorstep.

Stoick devises the counterattack and dives in on Alvin's ships, after Stoick lures them to engage their first attack, the Riders engage. Just as Alvin figured, Alvin's men opened a new weapon in their cargo hole, a group of Changewings burst out of the ship and immediately heads towards Berk. The Riders must fend them off before it reaches the village, otherwise it will be difficult to fend them off due to their ability to camouflage. But when one of the Changewings saw Mira with her dragon mark on her right shoulder, he immediately stops when he saw Mira's mark. Every dragon knows about the mark of the mermaid, good fortune and happiness will come if you are near a mermaid. Roaring happily, the Changewing circles around Mira and Sapphire, Mira was confused about this while Sapphire was not. She knows her sister/rider is a mermaid as well as the other dragons, heck, even Kishi/Mors knows about Mira being a mermaid. The commotion caught the other Chnagewing attantion and they soon joined in the fun, wanting to have happy life and freedom. Mira and the other riders dint know what's going on, but Hiccup said that they should take the Changewings back to Changewing Island while Hiccup and his dad fight off the Outcast. Mira guides the happy Changewing to the isalnd with the riders help while Hiccup and Stoick fight off Alvin and his men. Then Hiccup and Stoick finds a remarkable advantage, they discover that when Thornado uses his blast they combine with Toothless', igniting a burst of Plasma. Overwhelmed, Alvin orders his men to retreat.

Victorious, Hiccup and Stoick head back, but Hiccup feels that Alvin should have had a better battle strategy, Stoick just tells him to be thankful he didn't tonight. When the otehrs returned, they told Hiccup that they successfully brought the Changewings to Changewing Island, but they had trouble getting Mira and Sapphire home because the Changewings that they lure refused to give her up, even the Chanewings that live in the island got their back. It took a while, but they were able to get Mira and Sapphire home. so, victory for them. Meanwhile, Hiccup goes to his father for dinner. Stoick tells Hiccup his dislike of disobeying him about the ban, but confesses that he was wrong of grounding the dragons as he only wanted to be a good and protecting father. Hiccup understands, and then Stoick asks about their Dragon Flight Club, taking interest. The first and foremost Hiccup explains about the club is its number one rule, "There is no Dragon Flight Club".

However, they didn't know that that Alvin was just a diversion for the Riders. Savage, Mildew and a few Outcasts were able to get through underneath Berk undetected. They plan to plant hundreds of Whispering Death eggs in underground caves that lead directly to the village, all planned out by Mildew. Once they left for an hour, hundreds of Whispering Death eggs planted are beginning to hatch and one egg hatches completely, and a baby Whispering Death emerges, letting out its first roar.
