Two chapter so close together, crazy I know, I had both of them planned so it was easier to write.

They took off about 15 minutes after Echo had first burst in. Hiccup had put on his riding gear, head to toe armor (looks like httyd 2 except all black) including a helmet for the wind as well as to keep his face hidden from his enemies or really anyone who he meets. It is better for them if they don't see his face. Once he was all suited up they took off towards this island.

"Echo, how far is this island? Why were you this far from home?" Toothless was irritated they shouldn't have been this far from the island in the first place.

"Not much further," Echo was getting anxious the closer they got, she could smell the Vikings and their disgusting island. Two small flames came into view and both Hiccup and Toothless knew immediately where they were.

"Berk of course. I hoped that I would never have to see this island again." Hiccup was tense and void of expression.

"Echo you need to go home, take care of the hatchings well be back soon." Toothless' command was obeyed immediately as she turned and headed in the direction of home. Slowly she disappeared into the clouds.

"Okay, bud let's move in quick and quiet, we're only scouting so keep it together." Hiccup just wanted to see what they were dealing with before they took action, and if he was being honest he wanted to see what the village had turned into.

"Yeah yeah stealthy, okay okay." Toothless was edge why did it have to be this island any other island he would willingly choose to face, why did they have to come back here. It made him so mad just seeing the island, knowing all of Hiccup's old tormentors live here and that there was a possibility that he would finally get meet them and show them why you don't mess with his rider perked him up some but not much. He also knew that Hiccup would never let him do anything like that. He shifted, diving down towards the ocean only to open his wings just before they hit gliding over the surface. Thanks to his black scales and Hiccups head to toes black flight suit they blended into the dark horizon quite well.

Astrid watched as it dove and disappeared into the dark. Something about this dragon was different than any she had ever seen. She moved to warn one of the centres only to be stopped by the large figure of her chief.

"Didn't I tell you to go home?" he was not impressed.

"Well yes, but I couldn't sleep knowing that I put the village in danger." all the tired feeling had left her the moment she saw that dragon replaced with adrenaline.

"Well, I assume you saw something than by the look on your face." Stoick wasn't happy but at the same time he couldn't really be mad he knew that he would have done the same thing in her shoes.

"Yes chief I saw a single dragon heading our way but I lost sight of it."

"Well well keep an eye out if you are going to insist on stay up at least come into the village and grab something from the great hall." she nodded and together they headed to the great hall.

They were flying quickly to the island. Hiccup knew from experience that these Vikings were dangerous, he was on high alert.

"Let's go around back and check things out." there was no way they could come in right in front of them and by the looks of it they were on watch expectation them. Toothless flew towards the far side around where they had spent their time all those years ago.

"Lets land in the cove, for old time sakes." Toothless like that place the only good place on this whole island.

"Bud, we need to see what we're dealing with then maybe we can land there." Hiccup wanted to get as far from this Island as quickly as possible. They were flying over the forest when the smell hit both of them, blood. Toothless flowed it to the source only to find the body of their lost comrade. Those low lives couldn't even have the decency to take care of his body in any way. Toothless's blood was boiling how could they just leave him laying in the woods. He let out a wail in protest at the injustice they were looking at.

"Bud, woah quiet remember they could have heard that." Hiccup was caught off guard Toothless had probably just given away their position.

Astrid heard the wail, it was very much a dragons wail. She had never heard anything like it. But she wasn't the only one, all the men in the hall tensed hearing it as well. Astrid stood looking towards the door about ready to run out when she felt a large hand on her shoulder.

"Let's go with you lass, this could be dangerous." Stoick didn't want her to get into a fight with an angered dragon and by the sound of that roar, it was angry. "Let Gobber and myself go with you so you can have some backup." he wanted her to do this but he wanted to be there just in case something went wrong.

With a nod of her head, she ran out of the doors leaving Stoick and Gobber to catch up. Figuring that the dragon had flown over the island only to discover their fallen friend she raced to the place that she had taken down the Nightmare. Quickly she reached the area and crept up behind a tree, followed by Stoick and Gobber who hide behind a large boulder. The two men listened as to the growls of what appeared to be two dragons, didn't Astrid say she only saw one. Astrid had her head peaked around the tree clearly listening.

Astrid was watching as a dragon pitch black in color walked around the body of the dead dragon, cooing, and growling a seemly nothing. Then a figure all black yet clearly human walked out from behind the dragon, Astrid first instinct was to leap out into the clearing and protect the person from the clearly agitated dragon. She drew her ax and after counting to three jumped from behind the tree and charged.

This shocked Stoick and Gobber, she was a fighter but Stoick had thought that she was smarter than to charge into a fight without scoping it out longer getting a better understanding of what was going on. They too move around the rock they were using as a hiding place, coming face to face with something they weren't expecting.

Author's note: Sorry it taking so long for Night to interact with the Vikings I want to keep the chapters about the same length. They will meet in the next chapter.
