I'm so sorry it took me this long to update this story, blame it on homework. Now that summer approaches, expect chapters to be coming out faster than once every 9 months.

Anyways, enjoy Chapter 5, Violent Negotiations.

Leglout rushed over to the Great Hall to see Flame Master. Yesterday Vera told him that Flame Master would be fine the next day, so there he was, going to see his dragon.

Jolt and Flare were still in their hut, probably getting some much needed rest.

Grunt and Screech were having an early morning flight, and probably hadn't frozen Flare. Even though he does it a lot, after what Jolt and Flare had been through, I'd be extremely surprised if he froze Flare today.

Reen was sleeping, it was 10:15 do you honestly expect him to be up?

I was spending time with Pebble, feeding her rocks on the beach where Jolt and I normally went.

"Hey! Flutterby!" I looked over and saw Morgus, the village blacksmith calling me. "I'm running out of Gronkle Iron." He landed his Gronkle next to me and threw me a bag.

"Got it," I said while catching the bag. I turned around to collect some rocks, "Just make sure you remember the Gronkle lava when making it, I don't think people like it when their weapons are too heavy for them to lift."

Morgus sighed "You mess up one time. One time!"

I laughed and went to collect the limestone, sandstone, and iron ore.

I flew to the Hunters' hideout. Harkness was going to pay, we had a deal.

Mogadon heard a whistling sound and looked up. "Emma." he said as a white Night Fury flew above him and landed.

I dismounted. "Where's Harkness Grimborne!"

"Emma, why so formal?" He asked. After seeing the look on my face he added, "I'm sorry, but it appears my father has passed away. So, any 'deals' you might have made with him are now null and void."

"Then I'll give you the same options." I unsheathed my sword. "Stop attacking Berk, or die."

"You wouldn't kill your old-"

"Shut up! I don't care what happened in the past. That ship is long gone, and you should know that." I had the tip of my sword resting on his neck. "So, what's it going to be?"

Mogadon smirked. "Neither." He quickly did a backwards somersault right before I could thrust my sword into that tiny little neck of his, and all the Hunters started charging at me.

I stared at him, "Then die it is."

I woke up, yawned, and looked out my window. "Come on Flare, Dragon Training will start soon." We normally only had Dragon Training once a week, but this week was a special case. We knew that the Hunters would attack soon and they know a lot more about us now (thanks to Leglout and that stone lined ship).

After I had something to eat, I mounted Flare. On my way to the Dragon Academy I stopped by Reen's place to wake him up.

"Reen, wake up! Today you're actually going to Dragon Training"

"Just a few more minutes." Reen grumbled.

"No Reen. It's starting right away and you need to know how to properly ride Boiler for when the Hunters attack."

"But I don't want to"

I sighed.

"Hey! What was that for?" Reen yelled as I splashed cold water on his face.

"To wake you up."

"Did it have to be cold water?"

"What would you rather me use Boilers water?" Reen opened his mouth to speak, just to close it right away, "That's what I thought, now get up."

I looked at the Hunters charging, "Daystrike, Plasma Blast!" My Night Fury did exactly that, and shot down a few of the on-coming Hunters. It wasn't long until they were right top of me. I blocked a slash with my sword, ducked under another one, and roundhouse kicked a sword out of a Hunters hand before I hopped on Daystrike's back and took to the skies. Hunters all around me were putting away their swords, pulling out bows, and loading them with Dragon-Root arrows, but I didn't care about them, I looked around for the only one that mattered, Mogadon. I saw him standing behind his army of Hunters, with that smug little smirk that I intended to plasma blast right off his face. Mogadon said something to one of his guards and entered his hut. The Hunter arrows weren't hitting Daystrike as she was out of range. I carefully examined the battlefield before diving down, barrel rolling to the left, blasting a few Hunters, and hanging a right so I would be right behind a rock ledge for a bit of cover. I took a few deep breaths and darted straight towards the entrance to Mogadon's hut, blasting the door open and vanishing inside the entrance.

Pebble and I were standing in the Dragon Academy when Jolt and Reen walked in. Reen actually came? Must be Jolt's doing. I laughed to myself when I saw the incredibly tired look on Reen's face.

"I think you all know why I scheduled this class today." Beorn the Immortal said in front of everyone. "We need to be as sharp as a Razorwhip's tail when the Dragon Hunters attack. Reen, how nice of you to join us"

"Yeah, Jolt dragged me out here" he replied.

"Thanks Jolt. On to business, I've got Frightless Phil, Hooligan Harry, Savage Sanderson, and some others with practice bows. We're going to work as a team to hit all the targets and ships without Vikings on them in the area to practice our shooting and dodging, got it?" Everyone nodded.

I looked around Mogadon's hut. Where is he? "Daystrike, make sure no one comes in here. Or goes out" I added with a harsh tone. Some Hunters just came in, before being headbutted, slapped with some wings, and thrown out with the swipe of a tail. As I was walking I felt my foot sink and I quickly dropped down and rolled to the right. A sword was unsheathed. I looked up and there was Mogadon, standing in front of me, sword on my neck. I did a hand sign to Daystrike meaning, Plasma Blast! But nothing happened. I looked over and she was already being taken away by some Hunters who had stuck her with a Dragon Root arrow.

"Stick her in a cell. Far away from her Dragon." Mogadon ordered. I had never been so scared in my entire life.

On my way to my cell, I overheard Mogadon tell one of his men "Tell Ragnarok that we're on our way to attack Berk, and that he better be there with his Dragons if he wants his share of the treasure."

Leglout barrel rolled away from some practice arrows, and blasted another target just as a Zippleback blew up the last target. "Alright." Beorn shouted from the ground "Good job. Keep training though until the Hunters-"

"Uh, Chief" Flutterby yelled, "The Hunters are here." she pointed towards hundreds of advancing ships with the Dragon Hunter's insignia on them.

"Phil! Horn!" Beorn ordered and Fearless Phil jumped up and bolted toward the horn. "Everyone else, prepare for battle!" Dozens of Speed Stingers crept up behind Beorn "Oh Harkness," He started to pet the leader, "you never learn do you?" In the distance a horn could be heard and a few dragons took to the sky.
