The door burst open and the dragons suddenly felt invincible. Meatlug and Hookfang flew close to the ground, fighting off guards. Toothless and Barf and Belch ran as fast as the could to get to the dungeon hole they had seen their riders been dragged down.
Meanwhile, Stormfly flew up into the sky, dodging the nets that were starting to appear.
*Got to find hiccup. Hiccup! Where are you?* Stromfly got past the base. She scanned the forest for the small teenager. *hiccup!* she squawked. She landed on a tee and looked towards the big gate. Behind a bush she could see his messy auburn hair sticking out. *Hiccup! There you are!* She flew over to him.
Hiccup widened he eyes to see Stormfly just abruptly appear. "Stormfly? What are you doing here? Did you... Get out?"
*Yes! Come on! We've got to get back in though to help the others!* Stormfly sniffed at him. There was a loud bang, as the door started to move.
"Shh!" Hiccup grabbed Stormfly's saddle and dragged her to a lying position behind the bush.
The guards marched out of the door, turning back towards it and stopping.
"Find that Nadder! We need every dragon we can get. I have to deal with this Night Fury and his friends." Dagur hissed. He got a 'yes sir!' In reply as the guards waddled off into the forest.
"You all got out?" Hiccup looked at Stormfly. She warbled a 'yes' in her dragon tongue, and stood up. She motioned her head towards her saddle.
"You got it. Let's go rescue some dragons!" He jumped onto her saddle and they flew up.
Snotlout snorted. A loud bang woke him up. "What was that?" He asked, rubbing his eye.
"That sounded like an explosion!" Fishlegs said.
"What if its Barf and Belch?" Ruffnut said.
"Maybe they got out!" Tuffnut exclaimed.
"If they did, they'd have to put up with a lot of guards. And Dagur," Astrid said. "I'm afraid they probably wouldn't stand a chance. They might have even flown away..." She said. There was the sound of commotion, dragon roars and vikings shouting.
"Sounds like our Dragons are putting up a fight." Snotlout got up and out his head through the bars. There was two big shadows coming down from the entrance. "Uh oh, here come some guards..."
There was a playful growl as Toothless and Barf and Belch bounded around the corner.
"Toothless!" They cried. "Barf and Belch! What are you doing here?"
*We've come to get you out! Stormfly has gone to find Hiccup. Come on, let's go!* Toothless said. To the group it sounded like Night Fury chattering.
"They've come to get us out!" Fishlegs suggested.
*Barf, Belch, light it up. Cover your ears everyone.* Toothless said and moved away. Barf and Belch came forward and Barf puffed out some smoke. *Ready?* Barf said. *Ready!* Belch grinned, jerking his head in the motion of the sparks ready to set it a light.
"Uh oh, they're gonna blow!" Tuffnut shouted, and abruptly covered his face and headed towards the back of the cell. The others screeched and did the same. Bang! The iron gates were turned to ash and the group regained their stances.
*Come on, let's get out of here! Hookfang and Meatlug won't last long without their riders!* Toothless went into the cell and pushed Snotlout out. The rest followed.
"What do we do? We can't just go out there unarmed!" Fishlegs said. The twins reached for their saddles on Barf and Belch.
"We have two spears and and axe," Ruffnut said, taking the weapons out of the bags on her saddle.
"I'll take the axe," Astrid said. Ruffnut threw her the axe.
"Hey! What about us?" Snotlout snapped.
"You two get a spear. Ruff, Tuff, you control Barf and Belch to defeat as many guards as you can. Let's go," Astrid started to run up to the pathway to outside.
Hiccup directed Stormfly far above the base. Dagur didn't know about him, so was it a good idea to go in with a dragon who has no fire left? He had Astrid's axe, but that was it. He doubted he could even swing it. He saw Astrid and the others emerge out of a hole and start to battle the angry vikings. He saw Toothless attempt to bite the weapons from the guards. He then saw Dagur.
"Dragon up above!" Someone shouted. Hiccup could see them angle a dragon net machine towards them. Uh oh, he thought. The net flew towards them faster than Hiccup thought it would, it snapped onto stormfly's tail and legs.
"Quick Stormfly, we need to move," Hiccup pushed Stormfly forward.
"We didn't get it! Throw another one!" He said.
Hiccup flew back into the forest. There was no way he could help them, not when he was wanted to badly with an escaped dragon. If Dagur got him, he wouldn't live to see another day.
"Get those vikings and Dragons under control!" Dagur shouted.
"Yes sir!" A group of them shouted.
Meatlug snarled at Dagur. She flapped her wings angrily and charged at him and he fell over on his back side, once again. Five vikings grabbed her by her legs and tail. Another tied her to a post. She snarled at her captors, wriggling in the rope.
"Meatlug!" Fishlegs shouted. He suddenly got angry. Even Fishlegs was surprised at how angry he was. "Let go of my dragon!" He hollered, and threw his spear directly at Dagur. The spear only just missed his chest, but slit his arm on the side.
"Agh!" Dagur screeched like a little girl. He gave Fishlegs daggers as he got up and held his left arm. Fishlegs suddenly went all shy and realised what he'd done. Toothless noticed what Fishlegs had managed to do and made a dragon laugh at Dagur.
"Let's see how you like it," Dagur hissed and picked up the spear, throwing it in Fishlegs' direction. Meatlug growled at Dagur. *No! Don't!*
Fishlegs yelped. He wanted to move, he needs to move, but he was stuck in that spot. Toothless shouted. *Fishlegs, get out of the way! Move!* He didnt move.
Toothless sighed angrily and ran in front of Fishlegs. The spear impacted into Toothless' shoulder. He screeched and fell to the ground.
"Toothless!" Fishlegs shouted and bent over to pull the spear out. Tuffnut and Tuffnut noticed and came over.
"Fishlegs! You can't bend down in the middle of a battle field!" Ruffnut said as Tuffnut got Belch to throw a guard over the wall.
Suddenly, a group of guards bought out a net machine. They threw one, and it landed over Hookfang. "No!" Snotlout shouted. He dropped his spear and ran over to try and help the dragon. Nets were being flung around everywhere, one ensnared the twins and their dragon.
"No! This can't be happening again!" Astrid said as the swung her axe at a guard. They seemed to be multiplying, every one she struck down, two more came out of a building.
"Give it up," Dagur said as more vikings appeared and circled the group. "Your connection with your dragon has caused you to lose. Just look," He pointed over to Snotlout and Hookfang. "Snotlout dropped his weapon to go help his dragon. Fishlegs, you put yourself and Toothless at risk because of your stupid Gronckle." The boulder class dragon hissed at his comment.
Astrid looked at everyone. Then she noticed. Stormfly wasn't here- where'd she gone? Had they already captured her?
"Now," Dagur said, interrupting her line of thought. "Drop your weapon, Astrid. We don't want anymore injuries, do we?"
Astrid frowned at the delusional man. Smooth talking her? Good luck with that, she thought. She held onto the axe and raised it.
"Astrid," Dagur stepped forward.
Astrid looked over to everyone in the group. They all had a sorrowful face. They didn't encourage Astrid to keep the weapon. They looked defeated. She breathed, and lowered the axe so she could drop it.
"Good girl." Dagur said as he hand signalled some his guards to go and grab the dragons and the teenagers. Dagur looked up unto the sky. Dawn was breaking. "We should make a nice and head to Berk, don't you think?" He asked nobody in particular. Some guards said 'yes sir' or 'good idea Dagur'. "Right. Take them to the boats."
