A few hours later, they were back at the south Monarch tribe. Zephyr was happy to be back with her parents and brother, and her wound on her arm has been properly treated.
At the moment, Hiccup was with Toothless.
"Thank you, bud." Hiccup said. "For everything."
Toothless crooned and nudged him.
"That heat blast must've damaged your tail." Hiccup said. "I'll get that fixed up.
"Um, Hiccup?" Astrid said noticing something. "His tail looks okay."
"What?" Hiccup frowned.
He then went over to Toothless' tail as it was lifted up, but saw there was actually a complete fin.
"I don't believe it." Hiccup said placing his hand on the fin. "It must've grew back somehow."
Toothless sniffed the fin and realized that his old one did melted away from the heat blast, but it seems after that a new one as grown back.
They then saw Chen.
"I really don't know how we can thank you enough." Hiccup said.
"Your welcome." Chen said. "But now we need to find where Drago is hiding."
"I think you're right." Hiccup said. "There's no telling how long it'll before he goes after New Berk."
"But Drago could be anywhere." Astrid said. "Why do you think we failed the first time?"
"I know, Astrid." Hiccup said. "But we can't take that chance again. We were just lucky to get Zephyr back alive."
"But, how exactly will we find him?" Astrid inquired.
"Maybe Zephyr can help us." Chen said. "If she's been with Drago for long enough, she might be able to tell us where he's been hiding."
Meanwhile, Zephyr was with Nuffink as they were playing with the Night-Lights and Blue Night and her siblings.
Dart and Blue Night nuzzled Zephyr as they purred, and Zephyr gave them a scratch behind their ears.
Then Hiccup and Astrid appeared.
"Zephyr?" Hiccup said.
"Hi, Dad." Zephyr said.
"Zephyr, could you come with us for a minute?" Astrid asked. "We need your help with something."
"Um, okay." Zephyr said.
A few minutes later, they were in a room as a young woman named Erin came in.
"Hi, Zephyr." Erin greeted gently.
"Hi." Zephyr said clutching her stuff Night Fury.
"Is it okay that I ask you a few questions?" Erin asked.
"Mm-hmm." Zephyr nodded.
"Is it okay that your parents step outside for a few minutes?" Erin asked. "It won't be for too long."
"You sure you'll be alright?" Hiccup asked.
"Yeah." Zephyr said.
"Okay, we won't be long." Astrid said and kissed her head.
They then leave the room.
"Zephyr, I know this might be a little hard for you." Erin said. "But we need to find the man who took you. You think you help us?"
"I think so." Zephyr said.
"Good. Now, I need you to explain about what happen the night he took you." Erin said. "You think you can tell me what happened?"
Zephyr nodded.
"Good. Now, Zephyr." Erin said. "Close your eyes, it'll help you picture better."
Zephyr then closed her eyes.
"Just listen to my voice." Erin said. "Now I want you to take your time. And very specific."
"Okay." Zephyr nodded. "I'm ready."
"Okay. Now, what were you doing before he broke into your house?" Erin asked.
"I woke up from my bed." Zephyr said. "I was feeling a little thirsty, and I got out of bed and snuck out of the room not wanting to wake Nuffink up."
"Okay, what happened after you left your room?" Erin asked.
"I peaked down the stairs incase Mom and Dad were still there, but they were asleep." Zephyr said. "I then head down and poured myself a cup of yak milk."
"Did you see anything unusually then?" Erin asked.
"No, not yet." Zephyr said. "I soon finished the cup and put it away and headed back to bed. But then..."
"What?" Erin asked.
"I suddenly had a strange feeling that something felt off." Zephyr said.
"What made you feel like something wasn't right?" Erin asked.
"Like something felt wrong." Zephyr said. "It was something my Mom told me if anything looked wrong."
"I bet your mother taught you well." Erin said. "What did you do?"
"I looked around to see if there was anything off, but didn't see anything." Zephyr said. "And then I went over to the door."
"Why did you went over to the door?" Erin asked.
"To see if anything was out there." Zephyr answered. "I cracked the door open, and peaked out but saw nothing unusual. I then thought I was imaging things, so I closed the door and begin to head back to bed. But... that's when he appeared."
"What happened?" Erin asked.
"A piece of clothe was suddenly placed over my mouth very hard." Zephyr said as her voice cracked a bit. "I tried to scream for help, but I saw the gleam of a knife as I felt my hands tied behind me. And that's when he appeared."
"Who appeared?" Erin asked.
"He came out from hiding in the living room, and a candle was lit as it was a really big man." Zephyr said.
Erin then knew she meant Drago. "Did he say anything to you?" She asked.
"He said, "Took me a while to find your father's hideout. Now, be a good girl and come with us. Or you'll watch me personally kill your parents in front of you and burn your home down". I was so scared."
"What happened next?" Erin asked.
"He then left a note on the table, and we left the house and got on a red and black scary dragon." Zephyr said. "And then we flew away from home."
"Okay, Zephyr." Erin said gently. "You're doing fine. You're still safe. Where exactly did he take you?"
"Um, we flew over the ocean." Zephyr said calming herself. "Uh... southwest I think. I saw we flew to an island."
"What did the island look like?" Erin asked.
"Gray, and some black, and a few scattered trees all burnt." Zephyr said. "We then flew into a cave, and down a deep, large tunnel. We then got a cavern."
"What was the cavern like?" Erin asked.
"Big. Ground was all dark, and strangely felt softer than other rocks I felt." Zephyr said. "But I did noticed something strange."
"Strange how?" Erin asked. "What was it?"
"I wasn't sure." Zephyr said. "I only saw it for a second, but it was big, and it had chains attached to something. But wasn't sure what it was."
"Anything after that?" Erin asked.
"We then got to that strange contraption where I saw Embla and Madge." Zephyr said. "And they flew off. When we landed it was all cold."
Then a knock was heard outside.
"Okay, Zephyr, you did very good." Erin said.
"I did?" Zephyr said and opened her eyes.
"Yes, that will help us very much." Erin said.
A map was showed with islands as was marked as the one described by Zephyr.
"That's our island." A young man with black hair, brown eyes name Poe said. "An old extinct volcanic island with a deep cavern deep down. Drago must've find it just months ago. We go in, and take out his big fleet with everything we got."
"Drago is bound to have a lot of Deathgrippers." Astrid said.
"We'll need every dragon we got." Hiccup said.
"Load up." Poe said.
Soon, other Hidden World dragons gathered as the south Monarch tribesmen begin to climb up on dragons with bows and arrows.
"Astrid, I really think you should stay with the kids." Hiccup said.
"Like it or not, we're in this together." Astrid said.
Hiccup sighed. "There's really no way of talking you out of this, is there?" He asked.
"No." Astrid said.
"Be careful, okay?" Hiccup said.
"I will." Astrid said.
She then got on Stormfly.
Soon, Hiccup got on Toothless as well as the last of the Monarch tribesmen.
"I'm so excited." One of them said on a Thorntail and got in the air.
"All right, this is it!" Hiccup called out. "We're gonna put an end to Drago! Or we're gonna die trying. Now let's do it!"
Toothless then roared out as he flies off with the other dragons behind him along with Asmund and the pride, 30 of the Hidden World's dragons and south Monarch's dragon flyers.
They flew off as everyone below cheered.
At their hidden hideout, one of Drago's men pulls a rope as a cannon fires upward through the barrel of the extinct volcano.
The top was soon hit as soon huge boulders came falling down and hit the volcanic rock bed hard. And soon the sunlight was seen through.
Drago then laughed as his goal was nearly all set.
Meanwhile, the fleet of dragons flew over the ocean with Hiccup leading them, and soon the near the island.
And then they flew through the cave as they followed the tunnel.
In the cavern, a large tarp was removed as a captive Monstrous Nightmare was forcefully blasting fire through tightly tied tarps as they formed into a large balloon.
And Drago watched.
"Okay, here's the plan." Hiccup said. "We're gonna come in low and fast and take him by surprise."
"Well, I've got news for you, Hiccup." Astrid said. "Drago is never surprised, and we can't underestimate him."
"Great! Well, do you have any suggestions?" Hiccup asked.
"Yeah. Don't get shot." Poe said on an Orca Fury.
At the cavern, Drago's contraption was already airborne as a large metal container was chained to it.
Drago soon got it in the air, but then saw the fleet of dragons coming towards them.
"There they are!" Hiccup yelled.
Toothless roars out as he showed a blue glow.
"We've got company!" Drago said.
Drago's men then started firing arrows as the dragons flew by them.
Soon, the Monarch tribesmen fought back.
"Take off!" One yelled drawing back an arrow.
The arrows flew as some of Drago's men took cover in a trench as cannons were fired.
The dragons attacked as then a Skrill was then hit by one of the cannons, and fell and hits a rock near 2 of Drago's men.
Soon, some of Drago's men started to climb into the captive Deathgrippers and fly off to fight back.
Drago was soon on the large air contraption has it headed upward, and the Deathgrippers started to attack the other dragons.
Below, one of Drago's men aims towards the dragons. And then fires a cannon near a tribesmen on a Blue Fury, the dragon swiftly dodges it, and then it's back lit a bright sky blue as well as it's eyes, and then fires a powerful stream of blue energy. It hits the ground causing it to crack as it then hits 3 cages as well as a few of Drago's men making a large explosion.
Hiccup and Toothless saw that and were stunned by that.
"Whoa." Hiccup said. "Come on! We can't let him reach the top of that shaft!"
They flew towards the contraption, but then a Deathgripper with a flyer came towards them as the Deathgripper fires an acid blast. Toothless then turns away as the Deathgripper chased him, and then a nearby Blue Fury fired a blast taking the Deathgripper and the flyer out.
Some of Drago's men begin to reload a cannon, but then Alpha and a flyer on a Blue Fury dove towards them. And they both fired a blast towards it, and lands a direct hit as the cannon exploded.
Another Deathgripper with a flyer then saw a Blue Fury and Orca Fury coming towards him, and then they both fired a blast at them before he had the chance to move. And the 2 dragons flew through the smoke.
Meanwhile, Astrid on Stormfly flew through the air, and then suddenly a Deathgripper lunges from nowhere and rams them. Astrid was knocked off Stormfly, but Luna who was close by quickly caught her.
"Thanks, girl." Astrid said.
Luna crooned and flies off as 2 of Drago's men on Deathgrippers quickly chased after them.
Elsewhere in the cavern, Hiccup and Toothless had 4 right behind them as they try to hit them with acid blasts. But they were keeping 1 step ahead of them as they flew by a gap between some rocks.
Meanwhile, Astrid and Luna still had the 2 Deathgrippers behind them as they tried to blast them. And soon Asta quickly joins up with them. And 1 Deathgripper quickly nears them and snaps at Luna's tail narrowly missing her.
Nearby, Hiccup and Toothless still had the 4 Deathgrippers behind them as Alpha was now with them. And were having trouble trying to shake them.
Toothless then saw Astrid, Luna and Asta ahead of them, and were in trouble. And then he remembered something of what Bolt and Ink, and he then roars to Alpha who growled in agreement.
Astrid, Luna and Asta continue trying to outrun the Deathgrippers, and one of them fired an acid blast narrowly missing Astrid.
"Whoa!" Astrid exclaimed.
Luna and Asta soon saw Hiccup, Toothless and Alpha ahead of them, they noticed how they were coming right at them. But quickly soon got the idea of why as they went along with it.
They quickly gained speed as the Deathgrippers begin to lock onto them.
Toothless roared as he and Alpha split open their dorsal plates.
Luna and Asta growled now ready.
Then then Toothless roars out loudly, and then they quickly rolled left bypassing each other. And soon the Deathgrippers saw they were coming at each other, and 1 of them crashed into another, and soon another 2 crashed into each other as the speed of the mid-air collision killed all 4 dragons.
"Whoo! We got 'em!" Hiccup cheered.
"Ha ha ha!" Astrid cheered.
Soon, they begin flew towards the contraption as Drago saw them, as well as a few of his men. Soon they fired cannons at them as they quickly flew into different directions.
"SHOOT THEM DOWN!" Drago yelled.
Below, as they were keeping them busy, 1 Monarch tribesmen on a Thorntail tries to cut the metal container off from the chains.
Hiccup and Toothless charged towards the contraption and fired a blast near it, and flew by as Drago begins to aim a cannon at them. But then suddenly a blast hits the cannon knocking it away as Drago glared turning to Astrid as she saluted and swiftly flew by.
Then Drago noticed the tribesmen trying to brake the chains.
"No!" Drago growled.
He then grabs one of his men, and then threw him down as he fell and hits the tribesmen and the Thorntail as they were knocked off. But the Thorntail quickly flies straight.
Hiccup and Toothless flew over the contraption.
"All right, Hiccup, this is it." Hiccup said to himself planning the worse idea of his life. "Any last words? Yeah. I really wish I had a really better idea than this!"
Then they quickly flew towards the contraption, and Hiccup quickly jumped off Toothless as he fires a blast at one of the main balloons as it exploded.
Drago saw this and saw the contraption was descending.
"LOSE EVRYTHING, NOW!" Drago yelled.
Soon Drago's men started dropping everything.
"That's everything." One of his men said. "But we're still falling."
"I will not lose again!" Drago growled.
Drago then swiftly whacks his bullhook at the man, and before the other 2 can react, Drago quickly stabs one and grabs the remaining one and snapped his neck. And soon tossed the bodies over the side as they fell.
"I've worked too hard to lose now!" Drago said.
He then turns, but then was suddenly kicked in the face and knocked off his feet when Astrid dropped in after jumping off Luna.
Drago shook his head as he got up and turns to her.
"You should have never came back!" Astrid angrily said.
She then quickly punched him.
"Now you deal with us!" Astrid said and attempts to kick him.
But then Drago caught her foot in a firm grip.
"Well, not you personally!" Drago said.
And then in a quick move, he then throws her off the contraption. But Luna quickly caught her after she fell pass the contraption.
On the contraption's balloon, Hiccup then loosens a rope, and then swung down as Drago turns to him. And then Hiccup kicks him off his feet at they fell over the side, but Drago quickly grabs a rope as Hiccup punched him as they slid down the rope. They then hit the side of the contraption and fell landed on the lower platform.
"Well, I have to hand to you." Drago said getting up. "You're a bigger pain in the neck than I ever thought possible."
Hiccup glared at him, and then attempts to punch him. But Drago quickly caught his fist, and punched him and kicks him away.
"I consider myself an even-tempered man." Drago said.
Hiccup hits the side railing as falls over the side and he held on.
"It takes a lot to get under my skin... but congratulations... you just won the solid-gold kewpie doll." Drago said.
Hiccup then grabs hold of the chain holding the metal container.
Not far away, Luna circles the balloon as Astrid was still on her. And then she saw the main balloon as Stormfly joins them.
"Let's finish this." Astrid said.
Then Luna and Stormfly fired a blast, and they flew through the air and struck the main balloon causing it to explode.
Drago saw this and grabs his bullhook, and soon climbs down as he attacks Hiccup. He then swung his bullhook just missing Hiccup.
"Tired, Dragon Master?" Drago taunted.
Then Hiccup moves as Drago swung his bullhook as it hits the container's side.
"Aw, it's a darn shame..." Drago said.
Hiccup then noticed the container was leaking some kind of black powder, and then he grabs a broken sharp piece of metal.
"...because I'm just getting warmed up." Drago growled.
Drago then grabs Hiccup by the neck, and holds him up ready to finish him. But Hiccup quickly slashed his wrist with the metal piece as Drago lets go in pain and held his wound as Hiccup quickly climbs up the chains.
Then suddenly, the chains snapped as the container fell as well as Hiccup.
They soon hit the ground below, Hiccup shook his head and then saw the fallen contraption coming at him.
"Oh, great!" Hiccup said.
He then rushed off as the contraption hits the ground hard and landing right on top of Drago.
Hiccup turns to the fallen contraption as everyone else appeared as well.
"It's over." Hiccup said.
He then got on Toothless, and they begin to leave the cavern.
But as soon as they were out of the cave, a massive explosion rips through the whole island as everyone turns to it. And soon what was left of the extinct volcano collapsed leaving a large deep pit as the container was actually an explosive that Drago was using to bombarded New Berk.
"Whoa, so that's what that thing was." Astrid said. "He was gonna use it on New Berk."
"Well, not anymore." Hiccup said.
They then fly off.
Author's Note:
