In a small quiet little village on a nice peaceful island a lot of noise was being heard where she annoyed people greatly. The noise was coming from a stout but muscular young man of 18 years and he was busy tossing logs every which way.

"Take this! And this!" he yelled as he began tossing yet another log.

Not too far away from the island were the ships belonging to Hiccup and Astrid.

"There's no way we can make it to the Grand Line this condition," said Fishlegs.

Hiccup nodded in agreement. "You're right, we need to stock up on supplies and we're going to need a bigger ship."

"The place is crawling with pirates, we're gonna need one strong ship and we need a strong crew" said Astrid.

"You ask me were pretty strong already," said Toothless. "You, me and Hiccup can certainly put up one hell of a fight."

Astrid sighed. "But that's not enough, we can't man a single ship with just the four of us and unite point out that Fishlegs and I aren't officially part of your crew."

"Fortunately a little south from here is an island with settlements on it," said Fishleg as he looked at a map. "And it looks like we might be able to get our ship and some supplies we need there."

"We can easily sell these ships," said Hiccup. "They're in good condition and I bet they need some fishing boats."


Meanwhile on the settlement they were heading to, the people had finally had enough and one of them tossed a cooking pot right at the boy's head.

"Quit making all that noise!"

"You're disturbing the peace!"

"This has gone on long enough!"

The boy smirked as the entire village were running towards them. "What an excellent workout."

He then immediately ran off laughing at the villages. "Just try and catch me! Come on you slow pokes!"

He soon entered the forest and that's when the villagers lost him.

"Ah, man, looks like he got away again."

"That kid is nothing more than a troublemaker."

"He had better hope that I would never get a hold of him."

"It looks like no one is going to get a hold of him today."

The boy had climbed a tree and was sniggering at the villages as they made their way back to their homes. He then leaned back and began to relax feeling very proud of himself.

"Yet another job well done," he said. "Not only do I get a workout, but I did the entire village too and give them a little excitement."

"There he is!" said a voice.

The boy immediately looked down and saw a couple of kids at the base of the tree. One of them was wearing a winter's cap and the other had a skull and cross bone on his shirt

"Hey, you guys," he waved. "What's going on?"

"I bid you good morning, Captain Snotlout," said the boy in the cap.

"Fear not, your loyal crew, the Snotlout Pirates have arrived," said the boy with a skull and cross bones on his shirt.

The boy, whose name was now identified as Snotlout, then jumped out of the tree and met the two of them.

"Pepper. Carrot. It's just you two?" he said looking at them. "Where's Onion? Have you seen him around today?"

As if on cue they immediately heard the cries of a small boy and watched as a boy in glasses rushed over towards them with a frantic look on his face.

"Sound the alarm! They're here! They're here! They're here and they're going to kill us all!" he yelled frantically.

"Hey, it's Onion," said Pepper.

"I wonder what he's freaking out about?" said Carrot puzzled.

"Pirates! Pirates! Pirates are here! Run for your lives! Pirates! We don't stand a chance!"

Snotlout look at the two kids but they seem to use as he was.

"Will you calm down," said Snotlout.

"But there are pirates heading straight towards us," Onion panicked.

Snotlout's eyes widened. "Real pirates?"

"Yeah, and they're making their way to the coast!"

Snotlout looked uneasy. "I know I've been training hard for years, but I've never had a fight against real pirates before."

"You always so that you wanted to be a pirate someday and now is our chance," said Pepper.

"Yeah, we should fight them head-on," Onion nodded. "Besides, what kind of time it doesn't fight other pirates. If I remember correctly it was Buggy the Clown's mark."

Snotlout's eyes widened. "Buggy the Clown? This is bad, this is very bad."

"But I only saw two tiny boats and there were only just four people," Onion continued.

Snotlout sighed with relief. "In that case let's give them a warm welcome. Now let's move out."

"Sir!" they yelled.


Hiccup and the others soon reached the beach and immediately parked their boats in the sand.

"Feels good to be on dry land again," said Toothless as he stretched.

"We should look for that village," said Hiccup.

Astrid nodded. "But it looks as if it's a small one if they don't have a port."

Hiccup folded his arms. "Then they probably don't have much money, we might be able to trade boats were bigger ship."

"It's worth a try," Fishlegs nodded.

Toothless then noticed something in the bushes. "Guys, we're being watched," he said as he reached for one of his swords. He then saw something heading straight towards them. "Look out!"

Certainly large rocks speeded towards Hiccup and he found himself dancing around avoiding getting hit by them. Then they saw flags bearing a skull and cross bone emerging from all the bushes.

"That's a lot of pirate flags," said Hiccup.

"But it's not exactly impressive," said Astrid.

Then Snotlout jumped out of the tree and landed on the cliff, he then looked at the four them folding his arms.

"I am Snotlout, leader of the invincible pirates that rein over this island," he said smugly. "You stand before a living legend, the most revered pirate that ever lived. I am the great Captain Snotlout and surely you must know that plotting an attack on this island would mean certain death by army of super pirates would squash you like bugs."

Hiccup looked at the others and they too were dubious about his claims.

"You expect us to believe that?" Hiccup asked.

Snotlout narrowed his eyes at him. "Of course I do! Look at all these flags is in that proof enough?"

"Then how about your Pirates pals show themselves?" Hiccup asked.

"They don't need a show themselves to the likes of you, but just to warn you I have a great number of men under my control!" Snotlout roared.

Astrid noted that a few flags were moving up and down. "I guess would be three."

The kids immediately jumped out from the bushes completely startled and panic stricken they immediately dropped the flags and ran off.

"Hey, where are you going?" Snotlout yelled.

Fishlegs look to the ground and saw what had been flown at Hiccup were rocks. "He must have thrown these rocks at us, he must be strong judging from the impact."

Hiccup looked at Snotlout. "So, Captain Snotlout, what are you going to do now?"

Snotlout growled at him and raised his fist. "I'm gonna plough you into the ground. There's no way I'm going to be beaten by a runt like you. Just so you know I'm no pushover and you already know how strong I am."

Hiccup looked at him calmly. "The question is are you willing to fight us?"

Snotlout frowned. "What?"

"You can't expect everyone to give up at the first sign of danger, especially Pirates. You should be asking yourself are you willing to risk your life in fighting us?"

Toothless smiled and lifted one of his swords, Astrid pulled out her axe and the two of them got ready.

"I can assure you we are real pirates," said Toothless.

"And you should consider your next move very carefully," Astrid advised.

Snotlout looked at them and continue to clench his fists and all them looked one another in silence. However, Snotlout caved in realising that there was no way could take on these four by himself and eventually he fell to his knees and lowered his arms.

"These guys are definitely real pirates, because they can backup their words," he groaned.

Hiccup chuckled slightly. "I can hardly take credit for those words, I did kind of barrow them for my dad."

Snotlout looked up. "Wait, are you saying that your dad was a pirate?"

"He still is," said Hiccup.

Snotlout then immediately jumped down from the cliff and suddenly his eyes fell upon Astrid. "My, I didn't realise you were so beautiful close-up." Then before anyone could stop and he immediately grasped her hand. "Tell me beautiful, why don't I show you the sites."

Astrid glared at him and immediately twisted his arm. "I think I can look at them for myself."

Snotlout grasped his hand and looked at Hiccup. "How can you control her?"

Hiccup blinked. "I don't control her."

"I'm my own woman," said Astrid plainly.

Fishlegs quickly stepped in. "I don't suppose you can take us somewhere to eat?"


Snotlout soon took them into the village and in no time at all they were in a tavern having lunch.

Snotlout looked at Hiccup. "After so you're not exactly the average pirate, normally they would ransack this village."

"I'm a different calibre," Hiccup explained as he leaned back. "I'm more in it for the adventure rather than the wealth, in fact it's pretty much my dad started."

Fishlegs leaned over to Toothless. "Who is his dad?"

Toothless shrugged. "I don't know, but he must be a big deal if he come back and forth from the Grand Line."

Fishlegs stared openmouthed. "But that should be impossible."

"Not entirely," said Hiccup as he ate a leg of chicken. "I admit it is very dangerous leaving the Grand Line, but not impossible. You just need a strong ship and a good captain as well was a strong crew."

"What about you?" Astrid asked looking at Snotlout. "Did someone inspire you to pretend to be a captain?"

Snotlout shook his head. "I kinda ran away from home and I found myself in this village. The only thing I care about now is taking adventures on the high seas."

"You could help us with that," said Astrid. "Do you know someone who can provide us with a decent ship? Or anyone who knows how to sail for that matter?"

Snotlout shook his head. "I'm afraid you gonna find to trade a bit difficult here. This is a very small village and we don't do much trade so I don't think he can help you."

"What that huge mansion?" Toothless asked as he looked out of the window. "You know the one on top of that hill over there."

"Do you know them, Snotlout?" Fishlegs asked. "With all that money I'm sure they can help us get a boat."

"You stay away from there," said Snotlout strictly.

Everyone looked at him surprised.

"Like I got something very important to do so I need to go now," said Snotlout.

He then ran off before anyone could stop him.

"I wonder why he was in such a hurry?" Astrid pondered.


The mansion on the hill was very well guarded by men in black suits and the mansion had quite the impressive courtyard. The mansion itself had many bedrooms and in one of these was a young girl with silver blonde hair and she looked a bit upset.

"You wish to see, Snotlout," said a tall black haired man in a black suit. He then immediately turned and faced her. "Don't start this again."

"May I see him?" the girl asked. "I like talking to him."

Butler's sighed and positioned his glasses with the palm of his hand. "No ma'am, that man without a doubt is a menace. For someone in your weak in state, Snotlout's uncontrolled behaviour might be too much for you to handle."

"But I—"

"Your late parents instructed me to protect you with the fullest of my abilities," he said and repositioned his glasses with his palm once again. "It would be against their wishes for you to see him Miss Kaia. Now there now leave your medicine right here, please be sure to take it."

"Killjoy," Kaia muttered as Butler made his way to the door.

"Killjoy will do, and a mild bear if you are kept safe," he said as he exited the room.


Outside, Snotlout was looking at the guards and could see there was no way he will be able to get through the front entrance without causing a commotion. Instead he made his way to the bush and removed a wooden block with leaves glued upon it.

It carried out of the bush quite some time ago and allowed him to enter the mansion without anyone noticing.

"Pardon the intrusion," he said as he crawled through the hole.

Kaia was sitting at the window with her head buried in a cushion and then she heard stone striking her window. Her face lit up when she saw Snotlout and immediately opened it.

"Snotlout, you came," she said joyously.

Snotlout was perched on a branch smiling at her. "Of course, how are you? You seem a little down."

"I guess I am," she admitted. "I'm tired of talking like this, I would like to invite you inside like a proper guest, though there's no way that Hagan will ever allow that. He's not a bad person though."

"Don't worry about it," said Snotlout dismissively. "I'm not afraid of anyone, besides I prefer the wide open seas and the wide open skies."

"So what adventure are you going to tell me about today?" she asked with a smile.

Snotlout leaned back. "Well, let's see. What about the story of me stopping 100 yaks from stampeding."

Kaia smiled. "I would like to hear it."

Soon the two of them were laughing as Snotlout told her his story.


Meanwhile the free kids that had been with Snotlout was sneaking their way to the tavern.

"I you sure this is the place they took him?" Carrot asked.

"Yeah, those terrible pirates dragged him inside and now it's up to us to save our captain," Onion nodded.

"But guys those are real pirates what if they have grilled and eaten him already?" Pepper asked.

"It's all which is that their victims not pirates," said Carrot.

The immediately lean towards the door and saw Hiccup and the others sitting at a table through the glass.

"Okay, guys, this time it's for real," said Carrot.

All of them immediately gulped, but they bravely stood up straight hand held out their toy swords.

"This is going to be the most brutal and epic battle of our entire lives, we must show them no mercy because they'll never show it to us," said Carrot.

All of them nodded and immediately burst through the door.

"The Snotlout Pirates have arrived!" they yelled.

Hiccup and the others turned and looked at the kids.

"Who are those kids?" Toothless asked.

"Didn't we see them with Snotlout earlier?" Hiccup asked.

The three of them noticed that Snotlout were no longer with the four of them.

"Captain Snotlout isn't gone," said Pepper.

"Did they?" said Onion looking afraid.

Carrot immediately rushed over to them. "Fess up you feel the pirates! What do you do with our beloved captain? Tell us now."

"Yeah, tell us now!" Pepper and Onion ordered.

Hiccup had just finished eating. "Boy am I stuffed."

"Did they just finished eating?" Pepper gulped.

"These pirates are cannibals," Onion panicked.

Astrid chuckled slightly.

"What have you done you savages," Carrot demanded, though he was shaking like crazy.

"If you're looking for your Captain he's no longer here," said Toothless.

Immediately they panicked and toppled over.

Toothless looked at Fishlegs. "Is it something I ate?"


Once the three of them had finally calmed down, Hiccup and the others explained that Snotlout had left earlier after treating them for meal. The three kids relaxed and had a good feeling where he had went and so led them to the mansion.

"You had us going there," said Onion.

Soon they came face-to-face with the mansion.

"This place is certainly huge," said Hiccup.

"And if our captain ran off at this hour, then this is the place where he is going to be," Onion explained.

Hiccup frowned. "Snotlout so that he was an orphan why would he be here?"

"He comes to be annoyance," Pepper explained.

"To me he's already a pretty good annoyance," Astrid grunted.

"He may be a bit self-centred but he's not a bad guy," said Carrot and he looked at his friends. "His great isn't it?"

Onion nodded. "Yeah, he's awesome."

"How is a self-centred idiot awesome?" Toothless asked.

"Well, Kaia, the girl that lives there has been in a terrible depression which has kept her weak and in bed since her parents passed away a year ago," Carrot explained. "She's very rich but all that money couldn't help recover from her sadness."

"So our Captain cheers her up with outlandish stories, portraying himself as the hero," Onion explained.

"The Captain is the best when it comes to telling stories, especially if they are about himself," said Pepper.

"I suppose that is nice of him," said Hiccup.

"Yeah," the kids agreed.

"The best thing about him is that no matter what he is proud of himself," said Pepper.

"I like and because, when push comes to shove he's always there for you," said Carrot.

"And I like his stories," said Onion.

"So when he tells her those stories it makes her feel better?" Astrid blinked.

"Yep, lots better," Pepper nodded.

Hiccup folded his arms. "She might be the only person who can provide us with a boat, I don't know whether we should go in considering her condition."

"It's too dangerous to travel on the boats we have," Toothless pointed out.

"Getting in is impossible, those guards at the gate don't let anyone through," said Onion.

Hiccup pondered. "He must have gotten in somehow, let's have a look around the estate."


Snotlout meanwhile was still telling his story to Kaia.

"And after that terrifying and dramatic incident, we escaped into the sky on the back of a giant dragon," said Snotlout.

Kaia then immediately noticed movement. "What's that?"

Snotlout immediately turned into his astonishment he saw Hiccup and the others are merging out of the bushes.

"It's you guys?" Snotlout stared.

Kaia blinked. "You know them?"

"I kind of ran into them earlier," said Snotlout.

Hiccup immediately looked up at Kaia. "I am sorry for the intrusion, but I was hoping to ask you a favour."

Kaia looked surprised. "A favour? From me?"

"I was hoping that there was any way you could get as a boat," Hiccup asked.

"You there!" said a creepy voice.

They immediately turned and saw Hagan making his way towards the mountain exactly look happy.

"What do you think you're doing?" he demanded.

"Hagan," said Kaia.

"Get out," Hagan demanded as he adjusted his glasses with the palm of his hand. "I'll have you know that this is criminal trespassing."

Hiccup looked directly at him. "And who are you?"
