As the group was preparing near the they were packing some they needed for their checking that they had everything that was necessary, during their long journey. As Gobber, Valka, and Eret was watching. As Gobber saw Destin carrying something in his looks oddly familiar.
"Brother! Why did you steal Tuffnut precious Macey?" Dustin asked.
Destin looked toward him as he sweatdrop. As he begins to chuckle almost as if he had no answer to that questioned.
"Well! It's simple really. You see while Tuffnut was sleeping. I snuck in very quietly like a quiet rider. I slipped in and stole it without him knowing. Me and Goof flew into the night with the sweet smell of victory." Destin replied.
As Goof, begin to growl softly. Without warning Dustin, begin to tackle Destin. As the two were picking fights with each Gobber begin to he looked toward Valka.
"Are you really sure? That we should send them out. They are still rookies.I can already see that this team is already in collapsing. Even if they hadn't already started. The leader is already acting like Snotlout with his Womenizer behavior, cockiness behavior. Ingrid has the looked she ready to beat Gustav up. And what is going on with Freja, treating that Baby Dragon. Like a real baby. Even bringing the Baby Dragon, along for the mission with a custom made the bag. Just for him." Gobber said.
Eret he was looking toward Destin and Dustin. Who was beating each other up. With no stopping their little usual twin brothers attack.
"Tuffnut and Ruffnut had mature a bit. They don't fight as much. Instead when these twins fight. They have to pull Destin and Dustin apart. Before they kill each other. Gobber has a point. They won't be able to catch up to Hiccup and the others. If they are going to fail right before they start." Eret said.
Soon a female with long wavy blonde curls flying her dragon. As she begins to land toward she begins to looked toward them.
"Gobber and Eret, where is your vote of confidence? You should really be giving these new riders positive confidence. Without putting them down. This is their first time going on a journey. Against Dragon Hunters, also find out what had happened to Hiccup and the others. Because they are out there somewhere." The Female said.
As Valka begin to smile warmly looking toward her.
"Thanks, Hertha. They needed that confidence." Valka said.
As Hertha, smiled toward them. She was the newest addition to New Berk. She had arrived after Hiccup and the others left for their mission. Her home has been destroyed. She found this place where to call home.
"I had heard about the chief and the riders disappearance. It shocks me to hear that one person who brought Vikings and Dragons together in peace here has gone missing. Maybe the chief and the riders had betrayed their own home. Perhaps they had joined the other side. Could be the main cause of increase of these hunters." Hertha said.
There was a long paused. As if everyone remains quiet on Ingrid begins to glares toward Hertha.
"How dare you dare that!? Hiccup and the others would do no such things. They had been rescuing dragons. They had fought against Dragon Hunters. There is no way that they would join something evil." She said.
As Hertha just petted her Devilish Dervish.
"Sorry. I and DeathRoar were just making an observation on this situation." She said.
As everyone begins to mount their Freja was holding Fishmeat she begins to put him in a Fishmeat was trying to wiggle himself out.
"Fishmeat stay there. I don't want you to fall off from Thunderjaw. Fishlegs would be upset. If you have gotten hurt or something." Freja said
As Gustav was he was looking toward could not believe that he would move up this fast. Even to be a leader. It was almost like a dream come true for him. This was his moment to shine. Perhaps to impress, Hiccup and the others his leadership. As Eret walk up to he was looking toward the other riders.
"You looked excited to be the leader of this new group of Dragon Riders. Your mentor would be jealous to hear that. If he finds out that you're the leader. I may not have been a leader as Chief Hiccup Haddock. Who had led the riders into victories. Picking a leader for the new riders. Normally, doesn't occur until once the trainee becomes a full trained rider. But since we are in a tight situation this is different. If he was here. He would've been giving you some pep talk being leader. Being a leader isn't fun or games. Or just to impress someone you are interested have to be able to make decisions,be accountable for whatever will have to take being leader seriously." Eret said.
Gustav nod understanding what Eret meant. But then he realizes would New Berk be alright without any riders to defend it? Hertha smiled looking toward Gustav.
"Do not worry. New Berk, is in good hands. You do not need to worry about New Berk. I will help protect Berk. While you are gone. But still, that baby needs to stay here. Otherwise, it would get hurt." She said.
As she was about to put her hand on quickly begins to growl at her. As Freja held Fishmeat tightly.
"I am sorry! He's normally friendly! I don't know what gotten over him." She said.
As Gustav, was standing in front of FangHook.
"Ok! New Riders! Today we shall embark on a long journey! We are going to find out what happened to our chief and the other riders. They are out there. I am sure they are in need of help. Maybe even back up. Who knows what danger lies ahead. But I believed we can do this. And once the dragons hunters, see us. They will fear us. Let us do our best!" Gustav said.
As Fanghook was nudging Eret was shaking his there was a sweatdrop behind Gustav realizes that the others took off without him.
"You better catch up with them. Before they leave you fully." Gobber said.
Gustav nod, as he begins to quickly mount on FangHook, to catch up with the others. As he manages to catch up with them.
"Hey! It wasn't nice to leave me behind!" He said.
Ingrid glares toward him.
"Well, your speech was boring. We were about to fall asleep. So we just decided to take off." She said.
As they took off into the sunset.
