Note: I do NOT own ROTG OR HTTYD

Chapter 3

At the town of Burgess, Jamie Bennett was proudly showing his friends Pippa, Cupcake, Monty, Claude and Caleb his book, Dragonology: Guide to the Firebreathers.

"And check this out!" he said excitedly turning the thick volume's pages to the middle, revealing a tattered piece of red material tucked between the pages.

"Real dragon hide!" he exclaimed.

The kids looked at it, curiously.

"Is it real?" Cupcake asked. "The book says so." Jamie replied.

"You do know that you shouldn't always believe everything you read, right?" Monty asked this time. "Uh…His Mysterious Times was signed by a Yeti, remember?" Claude pointed out. "So maybe the dragon book has hard facts too." His twin brother, Caleb added.

Pippa carefully touched the hide in the book. "I think this is leather." She said. "Dragon leather?" Jamie asked hopefully.

"No. Just regular old leather." A seven year old boy with shaggy, brown hair wearing a Viking helmet on his head entered Jamie's backyard through a small space between the fence's slats.

"I saw that book at a friend's party and I read in the back that it's not real." He said, adjusting his helmet.

Jamie's face fell. And he was beginning to think that the hide was real!

Then a 12 year old girl with shoulder length brown hair and freckles on her nose joined him. "Cheer up Jamie. Just because one part of the book is fake doesn't mean the rest of it is fake." She said encouragingly.

Jamie smiled. "Thanks, Layla. Nice helmet, Donnie." He complimented.

Donnie smiled. "It's a Viking war helmet. Only brave Viking warriors could wear them." He said proudly. Layla giggled. "Oh and you're a Viking warrior?" she said teasingly.

"Vikings do exist!" Donnie piped up.

"And so do dragons!" Jamie added as his four year old sister, Sophie came into the yard. "Dragons, Vikings, rawr!" she laughed, pretending to be a flying dragon and a Viking girl waving an imaginary weapon in the air, making all the other kids laugh.

"Man I wish Jack could see this." Jamie chuckled watching his sister play pretending to be a dragoness.

"Yeah. And Sapphire too." Layla giggled as Donnie pretended to be a Viking fighting a ferocious dragoness, which was Sophie.

Little did they know that their two Guardian friends were about to get up close and personal with their fantasies…

The first thing Jack did when he came out of unconsciousness was reach for his staff. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the familiar woody texture of the powerful stick and opened his eyes.

"Oh wow, I just had the craziest dream…" he mumbled as he sat up from the pile of furs he was lying on. "Did your dream have dragons in it? Cause mine did." Sapphire groaned as she got up next.

Instinctively, she checked on the fang to see if it was still there where she kept it. To her relief, it was still intact.

"Actually it did." Jack said, answering her question.

The two of them looked around, trying to get a sense of their surroundings.

"What kind of house is this?" Sapphire wondered out loud. Jack gazed at the wooden dragon carvings, the fireplace and sharkskin rug. "Something tells me we're in a Viking house." He replied.

Sapphire looked at him, her right eyebrow raised in question. "Well where else are you going to find a house with this many dragon carvings?" Jack asked in reply to her questioning look.

The water spirit sighed. "Maybe you're right…"

Then it hit her.

"Holy clamshells…Jack, I think we've been transported to another world!" she exclaimed in shock.

The winter spirit looked confused.

"Think about it. In our world, Vikings don't exist in present time. Here they do. So we're either in a different time period or in another dimension." Sapphire explained.

Jack mulled it over for a bit until it sunk in.

"Okay…So if Vikings exist here…Then that means…" he managed to say before they heard a soft growl.

Both of them looked to their right, to see Toothless staring at them.

Hiccup hoisted the bread basket on his shoulders as he walked to his house. If those two were going to wake up soon, chances are they're gonna be hungry. Astrid spotted the teenage Viking headed home and quickly caught up with him.

"Hiccup, are you sure it's okay to let those two strangers stay here? I mean what if those staffs are weapons and they can use them? What if they're spies for Alvin?" she said urgently.

Hiccup paused to shift the basket's weight and continued walking. "Well you're probably right about those staffs, Astrid. But Outcast spies? Did you see their outfits? I've never seen an Outcast wear those kinds of clothes before." He said nonchalantly as they neared his house.

Suddenly two loud screams were heard.

And they were coming from the Haddock house.

Astrid glanced at Hiccup. "Did you leave Toothless there to keep an eye on them?" she asked, giving him a knowing look.

Remembering how freaked out the two strangers were at the sight of Toothless, (they practically passed out!) Hiccup quickly put the bread basket down and sprinted towards his house, Astrid right behind him.

First thing they saw was Toothless looking up at the ceiling, a confused expression on his face.

Second, were the two guests to the Haddock household, clinging to the rafters for dear life.

"Run you two! There's a dragon in here!" the blue haired girl yelled at them.

The two Vikings looked at each other.

They were gonna have to explain first if they wanted to calm them down.

"Yeah…We've noticed." Astrid said as Hiccup approached the dragon. "It's okay. He's friendly. Aren't you, Toothless?" he asked nicely before the Night Fury turned around to give him a lick.

As he and his companion managed to sit on the wooden beam, the white haired boy cocked his head. "Toothless…? You mean the dragon…is your pet?" he asked in shock.

"He's my best friend." Hiccup replied.

Then the girl whispered something to the boy that sounded like, 'Told you Vikings and dragons had something to do with each other.'

Astrid fingered her battle axe as the boy whispered back to the girl that sounded to her like, 'Vikings that do wear horned helmets…Yep, now we've seen everything.'

"Is that meant to be a compliment or an insult?" she said, readying her axe.

The boy quickly shook his head when he saw the girl Viking's weapon. "Anyway, has it always been like this? Dragons and Vikings getting along?" he asked, hoping to change the subject.

"Well 300 years ago, it was full-on war. But now, we've learned to live with each other." Hiccup smiled.

The girl on the rafters noticed Hiccup's prosthetic left leg. "But…I guess that came with a price, huh?" she asked timidly.

Hiccup looked down at his metal foot and shyly nodded.

Then the rest of the Viking teens came in along with Angrid.

"Those two already up or what?" Tuffnut said impatiently.

Ruffnut looked up and a wide grin spread across her face. "Yep. They're up. Literally." She snickered.

Snotlout decided to flirt a bit, much to Angrid's amusement. "Just come down here sweetie. I'll catch you. And…maybe we can hang out or something?" he said in a suave tone.

The blue haired girl rolled her eyes. "Sorry dude. Already have a boyfriend." She said bluntly.

The boy with her on the rafters glanced at her with a raised eyebrow. "Do you still need a confirmation? Of course it's you, silly!" the girl laughed, giving him a playful shove.

The boy nearly lost his balance but smiled shyly at her.

Then Fishlegs popped up with a question.

"Hold on…Wait…How in the name of Thor did they get up there?"

Outcasts readied their weapons, hauling supplies and much more onto their ships. Alvin had decided to begin with the Shivering Shores. They would plunder and lay waste to that tribe. Then smaller tribes would be next.

Their last target would be Berk.

"Keep working. I'll report back to Alvin." Savage told a fellow Outcast who was carrying a bunch of battle axes to one of their ships.

Savage then headed to a stone hut which served as their meeting hall. As he approached the stone structure, Savage heard two voices.

One voice was shouting angrily. The other, was calm.

"You dare possess me?! I'll have your head mounted for this!" the angry voice bellowed. The calm voice just laughed. "Sorry Alvin. But I need your brute strength if I want to exact my revenge on the Guardians. Those big beefy arms of yours are exactly what I need to snap their bones in half."

Suddenly the door of the hut burst open and shadows flew out! Savage heard an outraged shriek and took cover behind a nearby rock, cowering in fear.

When the coast seemed clear, he dared to peek out of his hiding place. Alvin stepped out of the cottage.

Once again, Savage did not notice the change in his leader.

"The ships are um, ready sir!" he stammered. Alvin smiled. "Wonderful. Keep up the good work." He said appraisingly.

A little surprised at being praised, Savage merely nodded in thanks and went on his way.

Pitch's dark gold eyes flashed in Alvin's sockets.

The Outcast leader smiled evilly. "They'll be here soon. Then I can finally settle the score." He said to himself darkly.

The boy and girl on the rafters looked at each other nervously as the Viking teens debated.

"Yeah…How did they get up there?" Astrid wondered out loud.

Hiccup looked up at the two curiously. "They were here on the first floor out cold when I left Toothless here to watch over them. Next thing I know, they're…up there." He said confused.

"Well no wonder they're up there. Toothless must've freaked them out!" Angrid pointed out.

"Judging by your house's roof construction, I don't think it was very likely that they climbed up using the stairs. Because if you look closely at the…" Fishlegs said thoughtfully before Snotlout butted in. "Blah… blah… blah roof construction, whatever!"

Ruffnut laughed a bit. "Wonder how they got up there. They probably freaked out over Toothless so bad they jumped sky high." She snickered.

"Yeah either that or they flew." Tuffnut added.

That made the two strangers tense up.

And the teens saw it.

"There a problem?" Hiccup asked them. "Nothing!" the girl said quickly. The boy thought fast. "Um… Can you maybe get a ladder or something?" he asked hastily.

Shrugging, the teens left the house. Angrid was the last to leave as she glanced at the two strangers suspiciously before she left.

Only Toothless stayed behind.

The white haired boy leaned over to the girl. "Now what do we do?" he whispered. "We get down, get out, find Marina, and figure out how to get home." The girl replied.

Looking down at Toothless, the boy frowned. "If I fly us down, that dragon's going to be a witness." He pointed out. "Relax Jack, it's a dragon. It can't talk." The girl chided him.

Jack looked pretty unsure. "I don't know, Sapphire…It may be a dragon but it looks pretty intelligent to me…" he said in a low voice.

Sapphire sighed and looked around for another escape route.

That's when she spotted the hole above Toothless' rock bed on the other side of the beam they were sitting on.

"Let's try over there." She suggested.

Jack gave her a look that clearly said, 'You're kidding me, right?'

"Well choose already. We fly down in front of Toothless and get caught or we crawl across here and climb out of there." The water spirit pointed at the hole. Jack sighed. "Ok. Plan B." he decided.

Smiling, Sapphire began crawling across the rafter followed by Jack. A little concerned, Toothless whined and began to follow them.

And that gave Sapphire an idea.

"Relax Toothless, we're not gonna…" she said before her legs suddenly slid off the beam!

"Eeek!" the blue haired girl squeaked.

Instinctively, Jack lunged for her while Toothless roared in a panic.

"Toothless get help!" Jack shouted frantically.

Quickly the Night Fury bounded out of the house to get Hiccup and the others.

"Okay, grab a gust now!" Sapphire told Jack. "What? Wait, you were faking?" the winter spirit said in shock.

"Yes. Now go!" the girl hissed.

Jack obeyed and swung his staff. A strong gust of wind blew through the Haddock house, allowing the two of them to fly down the rafters and land down safely on the ground.

"I can't believe you pulled that stunt on me and the dragon." Jack muttered. "I needed your reaction so it could be effective. Don't be mad." Sapphire said apologetically.

Finally Jack smiled. He had to admit, her plan worked like a charm.

"So what do we do now?" he asked. "Let's just run." Sapphire answered.

Quickly they rushed out of the house and proceeded to go down the steps.

But then they saw Toothless, Hiccup and the rest of the Viking teens headed back with the ladder.

They backtracked, hiding behind the house.

Minutes passed and they heard nothing…

"You think it's safe?" Sapphire whispered nervously. Jack shrugged and began to peek out of the hiding place with her.

A big, black dragon's face greeted them.

"Ahhh!" the two Guardians yelped, falling back on the grass.

In a short while, the teens were gathered around them.

"Uh, hey, you two…" Hiccup said, a little bit surprised. Then, Astrid noticed something. "Wait a second… How did you get here?" she asked suspiciously as they watched Toothless sniff them as they lay on the grass.

"They could have climbed out of there." Fishlegs suggested, pointing at the roof hole.

Again, Snotlout tried to make a good impression on Sapphire by offering a hand.

And again, she refused.

Instead she used her staff to heave herself to her feet like Jack who used his wooden sheperd's crook.

"Do you two always carry those things around?" Ruffnut asked. "Yeah. Pretty much." Sapphire replied, gripping the red staff in her left hand.

"They weapons or something?" Tuffnut inquired. Jack placed his staff across his shoulders. "Something like that. Unless you want us to test them." He said with a mischievous grin on his face.

Angrid decided to try get some answers. "Okay back to the here and now please? First of all, how did you two get out? Secondly, who are you? And lastly, what are you guys doing here?" she asked seriously.

A little taken aback by her sister, Astrid stepped in. "Sorry about my sister." She apologized. "Big sister." Angrid pointed out, making Astrid's blood boil.

"She's the direct type of person, that's all." Hiccup cut in before the two Hoffersons could get physical.

A few seconds passed, and nobody said anything. Toothless looked at the teens, wondering on what's going to happen next.

Finally Jack spoke up. "Look we don't want any trouble…But we can't really stay here and answer your questions." Sapphire nodded. "We'll tell you guys about us later. Right now we gotta find a friend." She said apologetically.

"Oh you mean that giant swan? She's over by the docks having lunch." Tuffnut informed her. "Wait it's lunchtime already? 'Cause I'm starving!" his twin exclaimed.

Noticing that no one was paying any more attention to her questions, Angrid just huffed and stormed off. Astrid thought about going after her, but quickly dismissed the thought when her Monstrous Nightmare friend flew across the sky.

"Hey there big fella!" she waved cheerfully along with her friends.

The dragon roared a greeting and settled onto the front of the house. Sapphire and Jack's jaws dropped open. "What is that?" Jack breathed out, his icy blue eyes wide.

"A Monstrous Nightmare." Fishlegs answered.

The two teens suddenly tensed up.

"Please tell me that's just a dragon species name." Sapphire said cautiously. "It is. But wait till you see my Nightmare, Hookfang. He's all monstrous and all nightmare." Snotlout boasted before Astrid punched him in the back, noticing how tense the two strangers got when they heard the word nightmare.

"I think I'm more comfortable with just Monstrous." Sapphire said quietly. Hiccup cocked his head quizzically at Jack. "Let's just say 'nightmare'…It's…our least favorite word." The white haired boy replied before they began to walk away.

"Hey if you want, we can show you guys to the docks." Hiccup offered. "No thanks!" Sapphire replied as they began to head down.

Angrid was lounging next to the Monstrous Nightmare and her eyes suddenly glinted with an idea.

"That was pretty easy." Jack remarked as they proceeded down the hill. "Yeah. For a second, I thought they were gonna push us into answering all those questions." Sapphire said as they quickly began to run down.

"I guess we got lucky." Jack smiled.

But just as they thought they were in the clear…

Whoosh!

Angrid got on the Monstrous Nightmare and plucked the two Guardians right off the ground!

Hiccup and the other teens heard them scream and quickly rushed down the hill with Toothless.

What they saw shocked them.

Two teenagers wildly flailing their arms and legs as a Monstrous Nightmare ridden by Angrid took them up higher into the air!

"Oh crabsticks, what's going on?!" Sapphire shrieked as the ground got farther away.

"Angrid, what're you doing?!" Astrid yelled in horror.

"You've got your own way of interrogating; I've got my own way of interrogating! Now, talk!" her sister shouted before looking sharply at her two passengers. "Let us down first!" Jack yelled angrily.

"Talk now or else, A. My friend here lights himself up or B. I drop you!" the Viking girl replied.

Sapphire then had an idea.

"Wouldn't you also catch fire if he self-ignites?" she asked, catching Jack's eye, who caught on with her plan.

But the winter spirit pointed to his staff and up at Angrid while mouthing 'But she'll see us!' She mouthed, 'Well it's that or we're literally toast!' while Angrid contemplated.

"Alright, then I'll just drop you two. So you guys gonna answer my questions?" she said threateningly. Jack and Sapphire looked at each other before looking up at the Viking girl holding them captive.

"No." they said in unison.

Angrid glared and smiled mischievously.

And to Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless and the other Viking teens' horror, her dragon let go!

Angrid watched them plummet downward, and noticed that they didn't look frightened.

And they weren't even screaming!

Then as the two of them neared the ground, Jack and Sapphire swung their staffs. Water suddenly flowed out of Sapphire's and propelled her up into the air while Jack caught a strong gust of wind and used his staff to ride it.

"Thor Almighty…" Hiccup said in awe.

Toothless let his jaw drop in amazement.

The other Viking teens were stunned.

Angrid, the most shocked of them all.

"See ya!" "Wouldn't wanna be ya!"

Sapphire and Jack then took off as Angrid and the Monstrous Nightmare landed.

"Great. Now you let them get away." Astrid said, folding her arms across her chest. "Well I didn't know they could fly!" the red-blond girl snapped.

While the twins, Snotlout and Fishlegs watched them argue. Hiccup looked at the two figures up in the air…And he saw them head for the village in the direction of the Dragon Training Academy.

"Are they awake yet?" a female voice suddenly startled everyone.

Marina with Gobber on her back made a landing in front of Hiccup's house.

"Beard of Thor! This lass sure can fly!" the two limbed Viking marveled at the swan's flying skills. "He's a pretty nice guy once you get to know him…And where're Jack and Sapphire?" Marina smiled before looking around.

"They're headed for the Academy! We have to warn them!" Hiccup said urgently.

His friends looked at him and Astrid and Angrid stopped arguing.

"What's so important if those two fliers go to your Dragon Training Academy?" Angrid asked moodily.

Hiccup didn't have time to answer.

He got on Toothless and flew towards the village in pursuit of the two teens. The others quickly followed on foot with Marina flying with them.

The next chapter, Jack and Sapphire will finally become official Dragon Trainers ;)
