Hey, this isn't a very long chapter, I'm sorry... I really have not been in the mood for writing, which isn't really an excuse, but its all I've got, any how that's all I have to say for today, sorry this was late, but uhh enjoy...
Despite Bandits new size he was quite fast, maybe it was his two sets of powerful wings. The ride was kind of bumpy, it was bumpy enough that Storm had to hold tight on the rope and Toby threw up a few times. Not only was this making Toby sick, but he was terrified of heights as well, so he hated almost everything about this, other then the fact that he was on the back of a dragon, which he found quite cool.
"Are you sure that Bandit knows where they are? We've been searching for hours and there is no land as far as the eye can see!" Toby shouted and tightened his grip around Storm's waist.
"Stop complaining babe, there are plenty of islands not far from here, they're not very big islands, but they're big enough for someone to camp out on it or something."

It was time Astrid and Hiccup's patrol shift, it was one am and neither of them were very happy to get up so early.
They had both decided to join forces with the small tribe of dragons and help them find a way to change them all back to normal. Before they moved in they went and got their supplies and Toothless from the other camp. They had pretty much settled in to their new home now but were still getting use to their new daily routines.
Usually they only did patrols during the day, but they figured since Heather had been doing night patrols almost every night since she was transformed that they should give her a few nights off.
It was almost pitch black on the island except the four large torches that were placed around the island to light it up a bit at night. After about 45 minutes of flying in a large circle around the island Astrid thought of something Heather hadn't told them, and it was beginning to bother her.
"What are we supposed to be looking for anyways?" Astrid yelled. "There is no civilization for at least one hundred or so miles, and we haven't seen any other dragons except these five, what else should we be concerned about? Is she hiding something from us?"
Hiccup shrugged, then yawned and pulled one of his scaly paws up to his face and rubbed his eyes.
"We're almost done pal, just about 15 minutes till the twins take over." She whispered and scratched behind his strange dragon ear. "Tomorrow I think I'll ask Heather what's going on."
The next day Astrid waited until later the next morning to ask Heather, so she could sleep in a bit.
Since they were living in a small tribe they started to try and teach Astrid how to understand their language, she didn't need to speak it because they all already understand English. She caught on fairly quickly, and could almost always talk to them without needing to ask about what on earth they said.
Heather was coming back from collecting fish from their food storage for breakfast. Astrid didn't hesitate and marched right up to the metal dragon.
"Heather we need to talk."
"Sure, just let me get these fish to the other guys and we'll talk then." Heather said and headed to the center of the island where the other dragons were eagerly waiting for their food.
After they had all eaten Heather and Astrid talked.
"What on earth are we looking for out their?" Astrid shouted and pointed to the ocean. "You send us out every day to look around for something but we have no idea what we're looking for. How will we know when we find it?"
Heather sighed. "I guess I probably should tell you, I guess you both really should know. Hiccup come over here!" She called and Hiccup came bounding over a few moments later.
"There use to be more of us here, well not here on the island, but there was probably twenty of use on an island west from here, and a volcanic island was not far from that. It was inactive but what we didn't know that they're was something living in it. We flew over to check it out and a huge six eyed green dragon burst out from the volcano, she was almost the size of the volcano. It killed a few of use and we retreated to our island, but a few nights after that it came back and killed everyone but us, so we flew here. Its been about 3 hundred years but we can't help but look out for it."
Hiccup pressed his head against Astrid's side.
"Don't worry too much, we haven't seen it for a few hundred years, we're just being safe."
They spoke about the situation for a few more moments, mostly to calm Hiccup down, they were stopped though when Fisher came running towards them.
"Guys! GUYS!" He yelled and paused to catch his breath.
"Fisher what are you doing!? Why aren't you on patrol!"
"There's a huge dragon on the horizon!"
