1) We get captured by a lunatic tribe

"You want to give it another shot bud," Hiccup smiled behind his mask that covered his face. Toothless on the other hand wasn't happy about trying the suggestion again. However Hiccup reassured him that it was going to go fine, so the midnight black dragon didn't argue and let his best friend and rider slide down from the saddle in mid-air.

Hiccup and Toothless were 'goofing off' doing free flying, which normally included doing what would be considered dangerous stunts like falling in mid-air. However in order to test various inventions made by Hiccup, they needed to test them out even if they were dangerous ideas.

Toothless followed after Hiccup as he was falling down, luckily Hiccup had made a prosthetic that Toothless could maneuver on his own, Hiccup continued to fall before spreading his arms and his outfit opens a squirrel jacket making it possible for him to glide.

"YEAH!" Hiccup shouts in excitement and happiness, Toothless follow his rider's happiness by shooting plasma blasts in the air. Hiccup managed to steer his gliding to avoid getting his by the blasts. "THIS IS AMAZING!"

They continued to glide until a mountain appeared on their route, and unfortunately Hiccup that he couldn't steer away to avoid crashing into the mountain. "Okay, no longer amazing! TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup yelled out for his dragon, still having time to give off a clever comment. Toothless hurried down, so he was underneath Hiccup when his rider pulled back his squirrel jacket and took his seat on Toothless's saddle. They steered away from the mountain and began flying back to their camp, both tired and happy over the day's adventures, as they liked to call it.

They were sitting near the campfire, cooking their dinners when Hiccup asked Toothless:

"So bud, where do we go now?

They have been on the move for five years now, never settling in on an island or a village they could call otherwise home. Because to Hiccup, the only home was Berk and Berk was the last place he ever could or wanted to return to. Hiccup could never return to Berk, even if he wanted to, not if it meant putting not only Toothless in danger, but himself as well knowing that he was probably branded as a traitor and outcast anyway.

Hiccup was holding his handmade map over every island that they knew and had visited. He looked over to see if his friend wanted to state his opinion on the subject, but the dragon only concentrated on scratching the itch under his armpit. Hiccup smiled over Toothless's ability to put his full attention on fish, itchy places and Hiccup, all in that order so it would seem. Still Hiccup knew that when the situation called upon it his best friend would always be there for him, which went both ways between the two of them. He patted his dragon and said, "Itchy armpit it is, and we leave in the morning."

Toothless purred as an agreement over the decision, before returning back to eating his fish. Hiccup put the map away and began eating his fish, while making small conversations with his dragon. Sure, it wasn't the same as when he interacted with humans, but he preferred Toothless's company more than human interaction. Still despite having Toothless as a companion, he couldn't help miss his dad, Gobber, Astrid and even Snotlout and the rest of the village. He often wondered if they were okay and that if they even missed him, but he quickly brushed it off. There is no way they would miss a failure and useless mistake like him, no matter if they cared about him or not. All he had was Toothless, and that was enough for the both of them.

Toothless was at his happiness when he was soaring in the sky, especially with Hiccup by his side. Today was travel-flying, meaning reaching Itchy armpit without any dangerous stunts along the way. They met many dragons along the way both in the sky and in the sea; all the dragons greeted them due to the fact that they have known each other for years as they continued on. Their flying was so relaxed and free that they didn't notice the ship that was floating on the water, waiting to shoot them down.

Toothless was just about to leap down when all of a sudden a net is thrown over them. Hiccup couldn't concentrate to move Toothless's tail because he was panicking from the surprise attack, so they fell down straight into the ocean. The last thing Hiccup remembered before he lost consciousness was looking at the ship that came closer towards them and the ship distinctively looked like a berserker ship, which means they were in big trouble.

Hiccup's eyes opened fast and disoriented after remembering the berserker ship. He looked around to find himself alone in a jail cell. Where was Toothless? Was he okay or had they killed him already? No, he had to think that his friend was okay, he thought to himself as he stood up and looked around the cell and what was on the other side of the bars. Unfortunately there wasn't much to look at due to the dim lights from torches. However it didn't take long before one of the berserkers came down to pick him up.

"Come on, Dagur want to see you and your dragon companion," said the berserker, before pushing Hiccup up the stairs and leading him towards the Great Hall (or at least something that could be considered the Great Hall).

It was just their luck to be captured by the lunatic tribe, who killed people and dragons for a fun without any remorse. When Hiccup entered the hall, he immediately saw Toothless chained to the floor with no possible way to escape. He was glad that Toothless was okay, for now at least, but he couldn't be sure when his attention shifted towards the leader of the berserkers. Dagur, the young leader of the Berserker tribe, was the most deranged and the biggest lunatic you could ever meet. He was just as tall as Hiccup with more muscles and small reddish brown beard. He appeared to be pleasant on most occasions, but everyone knew that it was just a ruse of his more insane and violent personality.

"Ah, Hiccup. How nice to see you on my island," Dagur said with a smile, a very creepy smile you might add. "Even more with you riding on a dragon's back, more precisely a Night Fury."

"Yeah, you know. Things has changed the last couple of years," Hiccup answered, trying to act cool and relaxed even though he felt the exact opposite.

"Yes, I can see that. You're missing a leg, since the last time I saw you. What happened?"

"Emm…." Hiccup wasn't sure what to say, since he had lost his left leg after his battle with Red Death, who forced the dragons to raid the Vikings and feed her. After the battle he made himself a prosthetic, so he was still able to walk and fly Toothless. Yet he couldn't exactly tell Dagur the whole story, because he wouldn't believe Hiccup even if he had been there himself.

"Never mind. What I want to know is how you manage to control the dragon?"

Hiccup and Toothless didn't like that comment very well, so Toothless tried to bite one of the berserkers in the butt, however this proved to be very difficult since his mouth was covered. Hiccup on the other hand, refused to answer such question and instead asked:

"What is it you want Dagur?"

Dagur smiled a sinister smile before walking closer towards Hiccup, who began slowly to walk back the closer Dagur approached.

"I want you to get something for me."

Hiccup was uneasy, not just from Dagur's request, but the feeling he was having that there was something more behind the request.

"What is it you want me to get you, especially since you can't retrieve it yourself?"

"I want you to retrieve the Ancient Sword of Berk, and bring it to me."

"You want me to bring you what?!"

"The Ancient Sword of Berk, I believe you have heard of it. After all you are the heir to the Hairy Hooligans tribe, so it is an inheritance to you."

Hiccup knew exactly what Dagur was talking about; the sword had been passed down for generations to the chief of Berk. He had once seen the sword, since his dad rarely used the sword in battle. Many believed that it was handed down from Odin, the chief of the gods as well as the god of wisdom. The sword is said to be very powerful in the hands of the chief, but the sword would be totally useless if it's not in the hands of the true chief. So why would Dagur want that sword?

"But why would you want the sword, you can't use it unless you are the chief of Berk."

"That is not something you need to worry about, your duty is to retrieve the sword to me," Dagur stood five feet from Hiccup, and looked ready to pull up his dagger to slice his throat just to watch him die. However Dagur wouldn't risk killing the vessel to his plan, especially because of his reckless and violent personality.

"No, I'm not going to bring the sword to you," Hiccup refused. "Why should I even do as you say?"

"If you want to keep you and your dragon alive, then you shall do as I demand."

Why should I even bother do to so when you are going to kill me and him anyway?"

"What if I was to offer you two freedom after you retrieved it? Dagur suggested, knowing that it was an offer Hiccup couldn't refuse, especially if he wanted to spear his dragon from harm.

Hiccup didn't trust Dagur for a minute, he knew there was no way that he wouldn't let them go without being killed shortly after the deal would be fulfilled, but he couldn't let his friend be killed by Dagur's hands. He rather be dead than let anything happen to Toothless, that he promised himself when he left Berk. He would keep Toothless safe.

Hiccup looked at Toothless, who was angry and at the same time scared for the both of them. His dragon wasn't supposed to be killed by humans and he was certainly not supposed to be captured by them either. He was a free spirit, and Hiccup was even willing to go to Hel's gate just to keep his friend free and alive.

"You will let us go alive after we retrieved the sword to you," Hiccup looked into Dagur's eyes, eyes showed him both deception and murder, but he was willing to that chance for Toothless. "Do you promise me that?"

"I promise," Dagur agreed. "But if you try to escape or you do any tricks, then I will kill you and your dragon without hesitation. Agree?"

Of course there had to be a catch, Hiccup thought. But that doesn't matter; he had to do this for Toothless, even if his dragon would never forgive him for what he had done.

"Fine. We'll do it."
