The smoke cloud was becoming far more intense for the dragons to get too close, trails of spilled oils and broken crates remained ablaze the burning ship.
Everyone's eyes widen, mouths dropped open in shock upon what they were witnessing. The whole vessel was on fire and if Hiccup was truly on that ship, then he'd be as good as dead.
"Get that fire under control, but don't sink the ship, Hiccup is on it somewhere!" Orders Stoick
The teens all nod and their dragons forward to bucket water to douse the orange flames, none of them daring to speak of the horrors their friend must be facing. Stoick and Toothless stood before the ship, watching the flames grow in size, the unidentifiable smell of oil confirming all their fears, the fire had been set on purpose.
"Oh Hiccup, son!" Bellows Stoick, the father wanting nothing more than to charge through those flames and save his son "I can't go in there, dragon." Toothless remains fixed upon the scene, he couldn't smell his humans scent over all the burned fish and oil, but he knew the boy was in there.
Stoick tore off the night furys back, his hand resting a top the scaly head "But you can, go save my son, Toothless." Without another word, the black reptile charges head first into the flames, roaring his lungs out for his young rider.
The boards beneath the dragons paws threatened to give as Toothless runs across, he couldn't find any signs of his Hiccup. Fears that his human was dead began to fill the dragons mind, there was no way his Hiccup could survive these lethal flames.
The dragons head hung low, he was about to lose hope when a small sound caught his attention, he listened intently to decipher where exactly it had originated from.
Below, huddled into a corner to escape the heat sat Hiccup. The heir faintly heard his dragons roars, but he was far too weak to respond, instead the boy begins another coughing fit.
Seconds pass before the sound is heard once again, this time more pained and leading Toothless towards the wooden splinters. The dragon uses his snout to push the wooden spikes away, revealing a chained hidden door, a small plasma blast is all that's needed to shatter the melting metal.
The Night Fury wastes no time diving below, taking in the sight of what lay in wait. A small room made of wood, chained manacles hang from the walls, but that wasn't what interested him. Toothless focused solely on the figure of his little Hiccup, huddled in a corner, bound and gagged the boy continues to choke as his coughing fit grew worse.
Hurriedly, the dragon runs to the boy, his teeth attempting to tear the roped knots away, only to stop at Hiccup's pained shriek. Green eyes roam above to see the flames covering the hatch, their only escape route was now a fiery inferno that was now stretching its way towards them.
The ropes would have to wait, Toothless takes Hiccup into his paws, pressing the boy into his chest. A plasma blast shoots into the wooden walls, if he couldn't escape through the door, then he'd make one himself.
Blast after blast was shot until finally a large enough hole is created, salty water gushing through, causing the ship to sink. Toothless would only have one shot at this; he waited for the ship to fill up enough to cover the hole before making his move.
Will Toothless' plan work? If not, what will become of Hiccup? Can this one legged Viking be saved?
