Phieillydinyia: sort of, the beginning is. Things are changing this chapter, though! HAHA, I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO NOTICE THAT! I figured Hiccup would ask for Toothless first, since they've got a special bond.

Now, ON TO CHAPTER 5!

"Meatlug!" Fishlegs trudged through the forest, glancing left and right frantically. "Here girl, here Meaty!" He held up a large sand-colored stone with both of his hands. "I've got some nice Boxite!"

He heard rustling somewhere next to him and turned excitedly, throwing down the Boxite. "Meatlug? Meatlug, is that you?" Fishlegs ran in the direction of the rustling, yelling "Don't move! Daddy's on his way!" He ran forwards with his arms open wide, smiling excitedly.

Fishlegs skidded in his tracks and stopped, letting his arms fall back to his side. He scowled. "Oh, it's you." In front of him, Hookfang paced back and forth nervously. The red dragon looked at Fishlegs after he said that, as if saying what do you mean, it's "just me?" He then growled angrily and crouched, like he remembered he should be angry.

Fishlegs winced. "Oh, sorry Hooky! I didn't mean it like that, it's just that-" He froze when he heard the rumble of thunder. He grinned nervously and waved his hand dismissively, saying "Oh, never mind. Let's just get you back to the Edge, right?" Fishlegs walked towards Hookfang, who growled and lowered his head.

Suddenly, a flash of lighting lit up the sky behind them. Hookfang's pupils contracted into slits and he flew into the air, setting himself on fire. Fishlegs winced and looked up at Hookfang nervously. "And I finally know what it's like to be Snotlout." He walked forwards a few steps, towards the startled dragon. "Okay! Okay, you're upset and scared, but everything is going to be fine." He held out his hand towards Hookfang, but was immediately swatted away with his giant red tail.

Fishlegs, who was slumped upside down against a tree, shook his head dazedly. "Now I really know what it's like to be Snotlout.." he coughed painfully.

Fishlegs slowly righted himself, then approached the frightened dragon once again. "Okay, let's try this again." He muttered to himself. Hookfang landed and approached Fishlegs slowly, leaning out to sniff his hand. "That's it, good Hooky!"

Hookfang bit at the place Fishlegs' hand was a second before. "AAAGH!" Fishlegs ran from the freshly lit-on-fire Nightmare. "HOOKFAAAAANG!" he screamed, while the dragon chased after him.

Ruffnut walked before Tuffnut, with a smug expression on her face. Tuff had a bag over his head and was walking with his arms out, trying to feel his way around. "Uh, why am I doing this again?" he asked.

"We are now living with a blind person, Tuffnut, and I think we owe it to him to offer our services as seeing-eye Vikings." Ruff turned to her brother and grinned, placing her arms behind her back.

"Got it," Tuff said. "Wait, who's playing Hiccup?"

"Can you see?"

"Not a glimpse. Total darkness over here." He replied.

"Then you, my friend, are Hiccup." Ruff grinned and stopped several yards away from Tuff. "Now, come to the sound of my voice."

Tuff made zombie-like noises and clawed at the air, walking forwards slowly. "Good, good, okay, a little faster." Ruff yelled. Tuff started running towards Ruff with his arms held out. "Come on! Let's put some muscle into it."

Tuff ran at full speed and pumped his arms. "How's that?" he yelled.

"You're doing great!" Ruff yelled. "Just a little further!" She then donned her well-known evil smile, which Tuff, luckily for her and bad for him, couldn't see.

Tuff started laughing and ran slightly faster, straight at Ruff. At the last moment, Ruff stepped aside. Tuff ended up running straight off a cliff. "AAAAGH!" He landed with a loud thump.

Ruffnut cackled to herself and looked over the edge. "Hey! You okay down there?"

"Nice work, sis! I think we landed on something!" Meatlug looked up momentarily from munching on rocks, then went back to ignoring the rider who landed on her back.

Eventually, Ruff climbed to the bottom of the cliff, where Tuff was attempting to make Meatlug move. "Pull harder!" He yelled, and pushed on Meatlug's side. Ruff pulled on her tail, but the still eating Gronkle refused to budge.

"Do you want me to pull her tail off?" Ruff asked incredulously.

Tuff thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, we'd never be able to explain that to Fishlegs."

Ruff groaned and stomped her feet. "What is wrong with her?"

Tuff stopped pushing on Meatlug and held up his finger. "Remember when Fishlegs said that she eats when she's under stress?"

Meatlug suddenly straightened and screwed up her face. A rumbling noise came from her, and she gagged. "Oh no, she's gonna blow!" Both Ruff and Tuff screamed and jumped out of the way, just before Meatlug let loose a stream of lava.

Snotlout groaned and grumbled to himself. "I can't believe this stupid dragon! Out here in the middle of nowhere." He stopped and waved his arms angrily in the air "HOOKFANG!" he yelled. "Get over here NOW!" he stopped and looked to the side when he heard a noise that sounded suspiciously like one of their dragons. Snotlout grinned to himself and dusted off his hands. "See that Hiccup, that's the way you handle your dragon business." He rubbed his hands together and grinned. "Come on big guy! Bring it in for the real thing, baby." He patted his legs and held out his arms.

To say that Snotlout was surprised when Barf and Belch ran to him instead of Hookfang was an understatement. His eyes widened comically and he screamed, attempting to run away from the stampeding dragon. Barf and Belch thundered by him, knocking Snotlout over. He groaned and laid there on the ground, muttering "Stupid Hiccup."

Snotlout eventually picked himself and walked sluggishly over to Barf and Belch, who had both of their heads buried deep in the ground. "Come on, you two. You can't stay in there forever." Snotlout tried tugging on their necks, but they wouldn't budge. "Fine!" he yelled frustratedly. "You won't come to me?"

Snotlout got down on his knees and started digging down with his hands. "You know what, I blame this on the twins. They let you get away with too much! Now, me and Hooky, we're like a well-oiled machine!" he grumbled while digging. He finally reached the Zippleback heads and glared at them. "All right. Let's go. Up! Whatever you two understand." Barf lazily let out his green gas, and Belch lit it.

The explosion launched Snotlout high in the air. "AAGH!" he screamed and landed in a tree on top of a hill. "Stupid Zippleback." He grumbled painfully.

Suddenly, a purple blast lit up the sky. Everyone, including the skittish dragons, looked up. One thing went through everyone's minds: Toothless.

Tuffnut slumped. "Oh, great. Hiccup's in trouble, and Meatlug still has half the quarry to eat!"

"Nice going! You know how she feels about her weight." Meatlug growled and flapped her wings, buzzing over to the arguing twins. She picked them up in her arms, flying in the direction of the plasma blast. "AAGH!" The twins screamed.

Barf and Belch stuck their heads up and out of the sand, looking back at Snotlout. Snotlout grunted and pushed himself up, pointing angrily at the Zippleback. "All right, you two! Play time in the sand is over." He jumped off the branch and soared towards Barf and Belch. "Snotlout! Snotlout!" He landed on the ground in front of the dragon, who looked down at Snotlout questionably. "Ow, ow, ow." He grumbled.

Fishlegs, who was still running from Hookfang, skidded in his tracks and looked up. He turned to Hookfang and held out his hand, yelling "Stop!"

Hookfang skidded and stared at Fishlegs' hand with wide eyes. "Alright Hookfang, let's get something straight. I may not be Snotlout, but I am a dragon rider." He pointed his finger accusingly at Hookfang. "And as such, I deserve the respect of a dragon rider. Are we clear?" Hookfang's eyes widened more, then narrowed aggressively. "Uh oh.."

Meatlug flew with the twins on her back, and looked down at the Triple Stryke. The dragon was battling Stormfly and Toothless, who were still losing. Ruff peered over Meatlug. "Man, those guys are getting their butts kicked down there!"

Barf and Belch flew up behind Meatlug, with Snotlout on their back. "Where's Fish-face?"

"I haven't got a clue!" Tuff yelled.

Snotlout nodded. "Yeah, I know. But where's Fish-face?"

Tuff glared at Snotlout disapprovingly. "You really think this is the time for your stupid jokes, Snotlout?" Ruff asked, who was also glaring. "Give us our dragon back!"

Snotlout grumbled and watched the twins climb on their respective heads. He threw up his hands. "Hey, what am I supposed to do?" The twins grabbed his arms and threw him, making him land on Meatlug. He shoved back his helmet. "Great, just perfect." Meatlug and the Zippleback flew down towards the battle.

Hiccup sat behind a rock, listening to what was happening. Click click click! He narrowed his eyes. That sound… He was concentrating so hard that he didn't hear the two dragons land. "Hiccup! Thank Thor, I need to tell you-" Hiccup stopped Snotlout's ranting by holding up his finger. Click click click! He narrowed his eyes further. There it is again…

"Do you guys hear that? It's the same sound before every attack."

"Uh, what is he talking about?" Snotlout asked. Hiccup assumed he was talking to the twins, since Fishlegs normally would've been rambling by now.

"Uh, guys! A little help here!" Hiccup heard Astrid yell. "We need to surround it! It can't hit us all at once." Oh, sure. She'll ask for their help, but won't let me help her. Hiccup growled and rolled his eyes.

He heard the buzz of Meatlug's wings and the flap of another set of wings- he assumed it was Barf and Belch, it was too quiet to be Hookfang's. "Coming in hot, blowing out snot!" Typical Snotlout. He heard the splatter of Meatlug's lava and the roar of the Triple Stryke. That's not going to work, the Triple Stryke's hide is too thick for any fire blasts to penetrate. He thought to himself.

He listened some more, then heard the signature Zippleback explosion. The Triple Stryke roared again. Click click click!

Hiccup's head shot up. That's it! Before he could call out to Toothless, he felt a rough hand cover his mouth. "Don't make a sound, or I'll knock you out." A deep voice growled in his ear.

What the- Hiccup's eyes widened, and he shoved the hand away from his mouth. "Toothless!" he yelled. He heard an answering roar and an angry growl at his ear. Next thing he knew, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and his eyes slid shut.

Astrid growled from atop Stormfly. The Triple Stryke swung out its tail and knocked Snotlout off of Meatlug. "Meatlug!" he yelled, then landed face-first. "This is getting old." He grumbled.

Ruff and Tuff laughed. "Did you see that?" Tuff said.

"He totally stuck the landing." Ruff cackled. The twins laughed, then were swiped off of their dragon by one of the Triple Stryke's tails.

Astrid rolled her eyes. "I have to do everything myself." She muttered. "Stormfly, spine shot!" Stormfly dove and shot three spines near the Triple Stryke's feet. The dragon roared, and Stormfly soared over its head and circled back around. "Again, Stormfly!" Stormfly squawked and shot three more. Astrid noticed that the Triple Stryke seemed to be more affected by the spine shots than the other attacks. I wonder why?

Astrid furrowed her eyebrows. "Spine shot again, girl." Stormfly seemed confused, but let loose three more. The Triple Stryke looked around wildly and roared. It raised its tails and braided them, making three click noises. Astrid's eyes widened. That's it! Stormfly's spine shots sound like the Triple Stryke's tail!

Astrid patted her dragon. "Stormfly, take me down. I've got an idea." She squawked and flapped her wings, diving down. She landed heavily about 20 feet away from the Triple Stryke. Astrid hopped off and narrowed her eyes at the Triple Stryke. Let's hope this works! She picked up two of Stormfly's spines and tapped them together three times.

The Triple Stryke roared and looked around again, unbraiding its tail. Astrid grinned. There we go. She tapped the spines together again, and got the same reaction. Astrid walked forwards while tapping the spines, keeping the dragon distracted. The Triple Stryke looked around, roaring. Once Astrid was directly in front of the dragon, she held out her hand. The Triple Stryke eyed her outstretched hand, then promptly pressed its snout in her hand.

Astrid grinned and laughed slightly, patting its nose. "So that's what Hiccup meant!" Snotlout exclaimed.

Astrid furrowed her eyebrows and turned around, taking her hand off the Triple Stryke's nose. "What do you mean?"

"He told Snotlout to shut up, and said something about "that sound being before every attack," or something like that." Tuff answered.

"Speaking of Hiccup-" Astrid was interrupted by a loud wailing noise. Everyone looked up, and saw a screaming Fishlegs on top of an out-of-control Hookfang.

Hookfang landed heavily on the ground and slid on his stomach. "This is not respect!" Fishlegs screeched.

"Welcome to my world, Fish-face." Snotlout said smugly.

Astrid walked over to the rock she told Hiccup to hide behind, grinning. "Hiccup, you can come out now!" She peered around the rock, frowning. "Hiccup?" She walked around the rock and noticed a white blow-dart laying in the dirt. She picked it up and examined it. "Hey, guys?"

Everyone ran over to Astrid, still grinning. When they noticed what she was holding, they frowned. "What's that?" Fishlegs wondered aloud.

"I don't know, but I found it where Hiccup was." Astrid answered.

"You mean he's not there?" Snotlout asked with a scowl.

Ruffnut rolled her eyes. "Clearly he's not, Snotlout, unless if he turned into a blow-dart." She meant it in a joking way, but it just made Astrid feel more panicked.

"Where's Hiccup?" she asked worriedly.

AAAAH, CLIFFHANGER! *cowers* PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! What'd you think? Please review! UNTIL NEXT CHAPTER! *grabs cliffhammer and walks off*
