"Why didn't you sink that ship?" Grunt asked "It took such a beating I'm surprised it still got away."

"They lined the inside with some sort of dragon proof stone." I replied "This worries me, they only had 3 ships, if it was a full on attack they would've brought the entire armada."

"Are you saying this was only a scouting mission?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, the Hunters don't know anything about us passed what they know about Grandpa Havel because we never let a ship go undestroyed before."

Leglout started freaking out "Oh no, now they know what dragons we have, how we use them, Jolt's normal plans-"

"Leglout, we'll be fine. We're not going to die just because we didn't destroy one single ship. They don't know everything about us. Sure they know more than they ever would've but that's not going to kill us. Besides, they don't even know about you 3rd cousin"

"Oh you mean the guy who has no idea how to control his dragon because he never ever shows up for Dragon Training? Yeeeeaaaah great secret weapon."

"What was all the commotion?" said a familiar voice, "Sorry I slept in."

"Hey Reen, Leglout's just stressing out about the fact that we didn't destroy a ship" I said. Reen is the Great-grandson of Tuffnut. He still has weird ideas but is pretty smart and unpredictable. He's a bit bigger than me and wears a dull blue tunic, with a black overcoat and brown pants. His hair is dirty blond and goes down to his chest.

"What, we didn't destroy a ship?! Now they know our battle strategies, how are we ever going to beat them?" he cried sarcastically, "Come on Leglout, it's just one ship"

"Fine" Leglout grumbled

"Leglout," I said, "I know that look in your eye. Don't do it."

"I'm going to destroy the ship." He spat out quickly right before he jumped onto Flame Master and took off.

"Leglout wait!" I sighed "Come on Flare," Flare took off, leaving Flutterby, Grunt, and Reen all alone. After a few minutes Grunt asked "Soooo… where'd Emma go and why wasn't she torching the ship with you guys?"

"If she wasn't attacking the ship with us," Flutterby responded "then that means either something happened to her Night Fury or she reached her shot limit."

After hours of flying, I still never found Leglout. I decided to stop and rest on a pretty rocky Island. "Ugh where could that muttonhead be?" I said cracking my back and looking around, "He probably already got caught by the Dragon Hunters by now. If only I knew where their base was." Suddenly I heard cheering from a ways away. I motioned Flare to follow me and went to investigate. As I got closer I saw a huge stadium with a Dragon Hunter insignia on it. Great, Dragon Hunters, I thought. As I looked around I saw a nice spot for Flare to hide. I guided him there, told him to stay, and started walking toward the arena.

I got there right at the end of a battle. They were leading a Triple Strike back into its cage. When I looked over and saw a totally mutilated Deadly Nadder I almost fainted. Why'd it have to be a Nadder? "You don't look to well kid," one of the Hunters said.

"Reckon he's one of em?" Another one asked

"He's young enough to be."

"If he is then he probably hid his dragon somewhere around here." Those words made me draw my axe and swing it at the Hunter. Realising I messed up I ran towards Flare's hiding spot, "FLARE!" I shouted. I've got to get out of here. Flare bolted out of his hiding spot and ran right towards me, I hopped on and took off. But first, let's free those dragons. I flew straight for the top of the cage. Both of the Hunters there pulled out their bows and loaded the arrows, right before some orange Nadder spines knocked them right out of their hands, and some more hit them right in the chest. I blasted off the top of the roof, flew inside, and blasted one of the doors which let free several dragons. I just about did that with another door when a net covered Flare, a Hunter shot him with an arrow, and several other men dragged us into one of the doors.

After they closed the door I heard a loud voice shout "No more fights tonight, but tomorrow is a dragon fight you will not want to miss!" The Hunter came up to me, "Goodnight, and have fun tomorrow." Then walked away, laughing.

The next day I heard Vikings flocking to the stands, eager to watch the fight of the century. "Ladies and Gentlemen!" the announcer Hunter shouted, "Are you ready to see the fight of the ages?! Jolt and his Deadly Nadder vs the Monstrous Nightmare rider…"

"Please say it's not…"

"Leglout!" we said in unison.
