I love your fan fiction name! Yes Vennessa and Heather know each other :D Thank you so much for the compliment on my improved writing! Let me just say, I was having a horrible day, but that turned my mood around. I'm glad you like the story!

PKWolf014:
I always love to see a review from you! It always makes my day! I know that I am horrible at updating on time *laughs embarrassed* I didn't like where V1 was going so I'm glad to hear that you like the difference between the 2!

Vennessa was laughing with Heather when Hiccup walked in with a slight cough. Both eyes turned to him and waited expectantly. Her green eyes met with his and she blushed profusely, remembering last night. Hiccup immediately snapped his head away and avoided her eye.

"I figured that it would be a pretty great idea to have a little talent competition. It would be pretty cool to see how you guys work together." Hiccup meant the last party for Vennessa.

"Well..." Heather began, turning back to her friend. "That was odd. don't you think?"

"I don't know why your asking me." Vennessa shrugged. "I only just met him."

"C'mon let's go!"

"I...don't know." Vennessa replied hesitantly.

"Trust me! Its a lot of fun!" Heather said before rushing out the door.

Smiling, Vennessa whistled for Flash and followed Windshear into the air.

"Okie! Let's get this competition underway! Whoever wins, gets to be in charge of training missions for the next month!" Hiccup announced. "Who's going first?"

"I will!" Fishlegs shouted excitedly. He mounted Meatlug and flew up into the sky. With a wave from Hiccup, Fishlegs dropped through the sky at incredible speeds. Just before reaching the group, the Gronkle flipped over and Fishlegs jumped off, landing right on Snotlout.

"YEAH FISHLEGS!" He cheered.

"I've never seen something that makes me happier!" Vennessa laughed.

"Get...UGh...Him...AH...OFF!" Snotlout cried. Fishlegs slowly crawled off the Jorgenson.

"I'm next!" Ruff shouted.

"No I am!" Tuff argued.

"ME!"

"Na-uh!"

"Yeah-huh!"

"Same dragon!" Hiccup intervened.

"Stay out of this H!" They shouted simultaneously.

"NEXT!" Astrid called getting bored.

"Me!" Snotlout shouted happily. "Get ready for Kiss the Jorgenson babe!"

Snotlout mounted his dragon and told him to fly straight. Instead, Hookfang dove of the side and went careening for the water. He couldn't pull up in time and they both went rocketing into the water.

"O.K! I'm next. You three want to up the bargain?" Astrid smirked.

"Sure." Heather leaned in. "How about whoever looses, has to take care of the winner's dragon for 2 months!"

"I'm so in!" Vennessa said. "Even though I'm not gonna stay, I'll get to choose something different as my reward!"

"In your dreams Vennessa!" Hiccup shouted. "Now get going Astrid!"

Astrid nodded and the Nadder pair took off. Vennessa watched in amazement as they spiraled through the air together. Suddenly, a flurry of spikes, followed by a jet of fire appeared from the spiral. The spikes landed, still flaming, in a perfect circle. Vennessa could tell that Astrid's head was spinning slightly as was Stormfly's.

"How'd you like that?" Astrid smirked again.

"Eh. It's pretty easy." Vennessa said.

"Excuse me? That took me months to perfect."

"It took me a month to get that down." Vennessa laughed. Astrid stared. "Chill! I'm just kidding!"

"I'll go next." Heather smiled. "You may want to shield your eyes."

She began just like Astrid with a spiral, but instead, they began upwards. They climbed higher and higher until Windshear spread out her wings, the sun catching the metal dragon. The Razorwhip reflected the light and the riders had to look away from the pain of staring.

"Wow!" Astrid said. "That was so cool! Do you know how useful that would be in battle?"

"Well Toothless, it looks like we have our work cut out for us!" Hiccup whispered to his dragon. Toothless cooed in reply and stretched out his wings. "Let's...GO!"

Toothless dived off the cliff without a second thought. They began a slow spiral before changing direction in an instant and began a climb upwards. The amazing pair dropped into another dive but this time, Hiccup pushed himself off his dragon and they free-fell together turning around each other with complete and utter ease. Suddenly, Hiccup snapped his arms open, revealing wings. They glided for a few seconds before Hiccup got back on and Toothless fired a few blasts as fireworks of celebration.

"I believe you can start cleaning Toothless!" Hiccup said triumphantly.

"Wait a minute!" Vennessa said, joining the group. "You still have one more to go. Unlike Heather, you are going to want to shield your ears not your eyes."

She backed toward the edge and the others watched in fright as she stepped off. The rushed to the side, only to have Vennessa and Flash rush by them. They climbed higher and higher into the sky until they were a good distance away from the water.

"Ready?" Flash nodded. Her gloves clicked into place on the handholds of the saddle. Flash shifted into a spinning dive and Vennessa pulled herself closer to her Night Fury. She felt herself being tugged further and further back but she held onto Flash. Just before reaching the cliff, a loud BOOM echoed out from behind them and there was no longer much resistance. Flash released three plasma shots but they never heard them.

Flash snapped open his wings and they flew faster and faster, the sound trailing behind them. Flash slowed to a stop a fair distance away and growled at something on the ocean.

"Viggo?" Vennessa asked. He growled again. "Let's warn the others."

"That was amazing!" Hiccup said fascinated by what they had achieved.

"It's called the sound-barrier but there's no time. Viggo is back. Follow me." Vennessa said as once again, she sped away.

The riders looked to their leader, then at the disappearing pair.

Hiccup waved his hand, telling them to mount up. "You heard her, let's get Viggo!"

"He's out on the horizon. Flash spotted him." Vennessa explained, giving her dragon an affectionate squeeze.

"How could he be back so soon?" Fishlegs fretted. "He never attacks twice in the same week!"

"So H?" Tuff asked.

"What are we going to do?" Ruff finished.

"It's not like we can just attack him straight on." Snotlout pointed out.

Vennessa intervened. "We should use the element of surprise to our advantage. Viggo doesn't expect us yet. He wouldn't until he could see Dragon's Edge on the horizon."

"She's right. That's how Viggo always plans. Once he can see land, then he sets his plan into motion." Heather told them.

"O.K. We can do that. We should go in low, maybe with a smoke screen. Viggo won't expect that. We've never used it on him before." Hiccup muttered, creating his plan in his head.

"I agree." Astrid said, but she turned on Vennessa. "Although, she has to go back to base."

"What?! I can help!" Vennessa protested stubbornly.

But Astrid wouldn't let her stubbornness go. "No! Your dragon was injured not even 2 days ago! He shouldn't have even let you fly him."

"Flash can handle himself! He would let me know if there was something wrong with him!" Vennessa shouted. She looked at her dragon. He came first on her safety list but he was fine. If they could do what they just did, they Flash would be fine with battle.

"Knock it off!" Hiccup yelled. "Vennessa, Astrid is right, you shouldn't have been flying him. But Astrid, Vennessa is right. She can help a whole lot."

"Yeah, we know what happens with one Night Fury." Snotlout reasoned. "Imagine the damage two Night Furies can deal!" Snotlout said. Turning to Vennessa, "Right babe?"

"No. I'm not your babe. But yes. I'm experienced with fighting Viggo." Vennessa pleaded. Truly, she just wanted Astrid to like her.

Suddenly, a chain erupted from below them and wrapped around Hiccup's waist. Vennessa saw it as he was tugged off his dragon. Vennessa dove off after him grabbed his hand, while Flash grabbed her foot and tugged. The cry of a Night Fury made Vennessa snap her head in Toothless's direction as he fell out of the sky.

The distraction was exactly what the hunters on the boat wanted. They aimed a crossbow, fired it, and watched with great satisfaction as the arrow embedded itself in...
