A ton of men ran towards the three of them. Stoick swung his axe, hitting one and starting to hit the others. Skullcrusher flew down and roared and started to breath fire at the other men.

"Dad!" Hiccup shouted, running over to Toothless.

"Just go son! We'll be fine!" Stoick said back through swinging his axe.

Hiccup was about to get on Toothless when he remembered. No firepower and an injured shoulder. Great. He looked up as he heard Fishlegs screaming. "Fishlegs!"

"Hiccup?! Where have you-"

"No time to explain, I need some fish for toothless now!" He shouted.

"I think Snotlout haves some! I'll go find him!" Fishlegs said as he patted Mealug. "Come on girl, this way!"

The twins suddenly landed in front of Hiccup and Toothless. "So you decided to show your face?" Ruffnut giggled. Hiccup made an awkward smile.

"We'll help you until he comes back," Tuffnut said.

"We just reloaded Barf and Belch!" Ruffnut said.

"Reloaded?" Hiccup asked.

Barf and Belch grinned at each other before Barf hissed out some gas and Belch spat some sparks out. The explosion blasted hiccups eardrums out as loads of men fell to the ground. Toothless warbled at the big explosion loving the fact that it took down so many men.

"Pretty cool, eh?" Tuffnut snorted.

They flew their dragon up and hovered the zippleback above Hiccup and his dragon.

"Incoming!" Snotlout screeched from above them. He got Hookfang to spurt out a long line of sticky fire that blocked several guards' paths to Hiccup and Toothless. He landed his red dragon and tossed him a basket of fish. "Where then heck have you been?"

Hiccup tipped the basket over for toothless to start eating. "Its a long story."

Fishlegs buzzed over on Meatlug and looked around. "Where's Astrid?"

Hiccup looked down and then to the path in the forest he saw Astrid being taken through. "Dagur." He growled.

"Oh." The teenagers all said.

"Is this a mothers' meeting or a battle ground?" Stoick shouted to the teens.

"Sorry chief!" Fishlegs said.

"Let's go and kill some people," Snotlout said as he raised Hookfang into the air.

"Its destruction time!' One of the twins shouted as they high fived.

"I need to go get Astrid. Will you be able to hold up here?" Hiccup asked them.

They all nodded and Hiccup nodded back at them. They all flew their dragons into the battle between men and dragon riding men.

Hiccup latched his foot onto Toothless' stirrup for the first time in days. He smiled and pulled Toothless up for take off. "Yeah! Go baby!" He shouted as the wind finally slipped through his hair. Toothless stuck his tongue out as they gained speed and left far away off of the ground. Suddenly toothless screeched. Another shot if pain whizzed into him from his left shoulder.

"Toothless! Whats-" hiccup started before he was stopped by the thrust of wind that forced its way down his throat. The world started to tilt as Hiccup realised they were falling in a spiral motion towards the ground. Toothless roared and hissed as he attempted to flap his good wing to slow the falling. Hiccup looked to his side and saw Astrid and Dagur walking out of the forest onto Berk near his house and the great hall. If I can direct toothless to fall there, we can catch out Dagur.

"Come on buddy," Hiccup pulled toothless' saddle over to the right. Toothless' good wing outstretched and it directed them to tilt towards Berk. "Yes! Land there!" Hiccup pointed to Berk. Toothless roared as he got closer and they impacted the ground, dust and gravel spitting out everywhere. Hiccup fell off of toothless and gamboled a few times before skidding to a halt on his back. Toothless rolled a few times and hissed at the pain that ran through his body. He felt the wound reopening.

Hiccup jumped up and went over to help toothless up, stumbling as he did so.

Dagur emerged from behind a house. He kicked open it's door and looked inside.

"There has got to be more dragon eggs around here somewhere! Just one Night Fury egg is all I need!" He growled. A few guards had come with him to help him search. A few of them held Astrid still.

"You won't find any, Dagur." Astrid sniggered. "Come on, are you rally that desperate? Your losing the battle over there. Your not even managing your men, you'd rather look for dragon eggs?!'

"I don't care what you say, Astrid." Dagur snarled and walked towards another house. Dagur jumped as he heard a loud crash in the dirt and a moaning dragon. He looked over to the noise and saw the boy and his Night Fury. "What are you doing here!?"

Hiccup helped stand Toothless up. "I'm here to tell you this. You leave now. Right now, Dagur."

"Hiccup!" Astrid gasped as she saw them both.

"Dagur, this has gone far enough." Hiccup said, resting a hand on Toothless. He looked down to his prosthetic. It was badly bent and unable to hold his weight. Great, he thought. "Please, just leave. Enough lives have been taken,"

"No! I want that Night Fury!" Dagur shouted.

Toothless growled. For Thor's sake, why couldn't he just accept the fact that all dragons he meet will hate his guts. Toothless hummed in his throat. Hiccup and Dagur were just going round in circles. Its time to take matters into his own paws.

"Hey! S-stay back!" Dagur snapped as he held the axe out as far as he could get it. Toothless snarled started to approach him. "What is he doing?!" Dagur stumbled backwards. His men parted a gap so Dagur had room to move.

"You see, another reason why a Night Fury is a terrible choice for you to make when choosing dragons, I'd that if you aren't kind and considerate, neither will the dragon be. And once they have set eyes on their prey, they'll hunt them down for as long as it rakes until they rip them to shreds," Hiccup explained.

Some of the men behind Dagur started to look worried, murmuring: 'That dragon is too dangerous' or 'What if we're his next meal?'

Astrid smiled at Hiccup as he explained. "So I'd give up now or Toothless will show you how hungry he is."

Dagur frowned as Toothless got closer and closer. Some of his guards had already started to run away to get back down onto the beach. If he got rid of the boy, taking this dragon would be so much easier. Abruptly, he lifted up the axe and swung it quickly and ferociously down onto the unsuspecting Toothless. The metal impacted right onto his older wound, instantly pushing toothless onto the ground in pain. Toothless wailed and screwed his face up at the feeling.

"Toothless! No! What-"

"Hiccup, hiccup, hiccup. When it comes to dragons, I never give up. Especially when a dragon is as rare and as loyal as this one," Dagur put his left foot onto toothless' chest in a stance of triumph. "I have to say, your decisions will not impress your father. Bringing your friends to my island? Running out onto the beach? Coming back here with your injured dragon? Dear dear dear, you might not make a good chief after all.

Hiccup felt himself seething with rage once more, and took some fast steps forward. "I'm gunna-" He almost tripped as the prosthetic failed to help him walk.

Dagur laughed at the hopeless teen. "Your going to what? Touch the girl and I kill the dragon. Touch the dragon and I kill the girl. Touch me and I kill them both. Lets see how much of a cheif you'll be. Make your choice, Hiccup, you choose between her," He pointed the axe to Astrid and then to Toothless. "Or him,"

An overdue note from the author:

Well! I am so sorry you didn't get an update on this story for two weeks! I've been very busy and I just haven't had time to upload it and edit it.

So, to make up for it I let you have a huge chunk of battkes and tense moments to read! But I'm afraid it end on yet another cliffhanger... You'll have to wait until Sunday to see what happens!

Reviews are much appreciated! Tell me what you think of it! Sorry for any mistakes or things that don't make sense.

Have fun reading!
