Thanks for all the follows guys!

Shout-outs!

Wildatheart843: Ikr! I really wish they'd get more of Hiccup's sarcasm and sass in the RTTE episodes, like they had in Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk. But, I still like all the leg jokes they have in RTTE. They have a lot more than they have in any of the other seasons… and they crack me up! XD What do you think?

ReptileGirl497: I'm happy to help! :D And I will most assuredly be checking out any new stories you write! Will be keeping an I out in my email for any story updates you do. ;)

training to be a fangirl: Thanks! And YEAH YOU GO ASTRID AND STOICK! *Toothless gives me a death glare* uhh… AND YOU TOO TOTHLESS! :D

SilverMoonClaw: Thanks! LOL yeah give it to them! Thanks, I really like doing Fanfics that are good and clean because lately… not much is. I go on the HTTYD fanfiction latest updates and they're all these modern au's and none of the actual HTTYD time-line and stuff… and a lot of them have inappropriate scenes and just a lot of junk. But I've come to know a couple of writers that are still doing an awesome job! Like ReptileGirl497 or Nightfurylover1112 and Beyondtheclouds777. They're all really good. :D Thanks again and glad you're enjoying this story!

CoverGirl7210: Thanks and will do!

Hiccstridlover13: THANK YOU! Yep, Hiccstrid's the best!

brodmapa: Thanks and sorry for the cliffhangers! :D I just can't help myself… I see an opportunity for a cliffhanger so I just have to… write it… you know? It's who I am. XD And yeah I don't think Hiccup is bad at fighting… just doesn't practice enough to be really good at it.

Greatdivide101: Thank you! *sigh of relief* glad I'm not the only one!

Thanks, everyone and see you in the next chapter!

Astrid down the steps of the Great Hall towards Stormfly who was standing at the bottom, waiting patiently for her. It was night, and the torches that dimly lit the village were the only source of light, but it was enough for Astrid to see her dragon and the others and their dragons waiting for her.

Astrid stepped down the last step before draping the heavy saddlebags over Stormfly's back, hastily tying them into place. Before she could mount the dragon though, something bumped her leg with a soft coo.

Astrid looked down at Toothless sadly, reaching down to rub the dragon's head. "I'm sorry, Toothless, but you have to stay here." Tooothless gave Astrid large puppy eyes that literally begged her to take him along.

Astrid bent down and hugged Toothless's neck tightly, "I'm going to bring Hiccup home, Toothless." She whispered. "I promise… everything will be all right."

She pulled away and looked into the Dragon's large green eyes, her heart breaking just slightly at how sad they looked and how they begged her to take him with her. Toothless cooed again, pulling back and looking at her softly.

"You'll go with Stoick, okay? You'll meet us at the island. Hopefully we'll have Hiccup rescued by then." Astrid said, giving Toothless one last pat on the head before climbing onto Stormfly's back. She looked at Toothless one last time before turning towards the others.

"Let's go." She said before Stormfly took to the air, the others close behind. Toothless remained on the ground, all though he did give a few feeble attempts to dash into the air, but with his tailfin remaining closed, he didn't get very far. He moaned at them, but it was faint in Astrid's ears for they were flying too far away to hear him anymore.

"Poor Toothless." Ruffnut said quietly. "I feel bad that we're leaving him behind."

"Yeah, I do too." Tuffnut agreed. He glanced backwards, but Berk was already beginning to disappear out of sight, nothing but a few twinkling lights in the distance.

"Well, the sooner we rescue Hiccup the better then. I, for one, do not want to deal with an angry Toothless." Snotlout spoke up, he and Hookfang flying up alongside Astrid.

"Are we going to stop at Outcast Island, or do we just keep going?" Fishleg's asked.

Astrid stared straight ahead at the horizon, where she couldn't see anything due to the darkness, but she knew Outcast Island was. "No. We keep going- no stopping." She said firmly.

"So, we should get there by… morning?" Snotlout asked, looking up at the star filled sky. "Hope we don't get lost with it being so dark."

Astrid patted Stormfly's neck, "The dragons know where they're going."

"I hope so." Tuffnut piped up,

Belch gave a little growl, his eyes averting towards his rider.

"I-I mean of course they do!" Tuffnut corrected, giving his dragon a shaky smile.

Astrid continued to stare straight ahead, her eyes catching sight of the twinkling lights made by torches. They were getting close to Outcast Island. They should be there in a couple of hours.

"Hold on, Hiccup. We're on our way…" she whispered into the night air.

…

Hiccup slowly opened his eyes, feeling cold and numb. He glanced blearily about the area he was in, not really comprehending anything he was seeing.

Finally, his brain seemed to clear at least enough so that he could think again. He lifted his head off the hard-stone ground he was currently lying on, and he looked about the confining room. He was in another cell of some sort, all though this time the walls, floor, and ceiling were made up of stone. Hard, solid rock. One wall was made of crisscrossed metal bars, a metal wired door resting in the middle of the wall. Hiccup pushed himself into a sitting position, grimacing at the pain it brought.

He sat up, leaning heavily against the wall behind him, panting for air. Wherever he was- it was extremely stuffy and not freshly aired at all. Hiccup took a deep, shaky breath, then exhaled heavily. He looked down at his leg, remembering that he'd been injured earlier.

His leg above his knee was wrapped sloppily with bandages. And- to Hiccup's displeasure- they were blood stained in areas. Was he still bleeding?

Hiccup reached his hands down to feel it, hissing through his teeth in pain when his hand touched the wounded area. He immediately withdrew his hand, settling for leaving the bandage where it was and checking the wound out later… when he was more awake.

Hiccup looked up at the metal barred wall across from him. Outside was a hallway like tunnel, with torches hanging on the walls in places, dimly lighting the area. There was a torch in Hiccup's cell as well, although it was too high for him to reach- even if he'd been standing up. The tunnels and cells reminded Hiccup of Alvin's dungeon some-what. The two were very similar.

Across the hallway from Hiccup's cell was another cell, very similar to Hiccup's. Inside though was a Speed Stinger, with a metal band wrapped around its tail. The dragon caught his eyes and hissed angrily, lifting up his tail threatingly although the barb was out of order.

Hiccup scooted carefully and slowly towards the bars, holding out his hand towards the dragon. He was too far away for them to touch though, so it was really all in vain. Besides, Hiccup was sure he shouldn't train any of Munga's dragons… that would only lead to trouble.

Hiccup sighed and leaned back. His right hand reached down to rub his injured leg, His left going to wrap around his bruised stomach. He took a deep breath again, wishing he was being held captive outside instead of underground.

Hiccup rested his head against the wall, but not much later he heard the sound of footsteps. Hiccup looked out his cell, his look turning to a harsh glare when he noticed who it was coming down the hall.

Munga stopped before the cell, his large hands on his hips, returning Hiccup's glare. Behind him was Lares, who by now Hiccup supposed was Munga's "right hand man".

"About time you woke up." Munga said, "Now get up. You've got work to do and I don't have time to waste."

Lares slipped a key into the lock, twisting it with a click before opening the door. He stepped in and grabbed Hiccup's arm, hauling him to his feet. Hiccup stumbled, putting all his weight onto his prosthetic. Lares pulled him out, and Hiccup was forced to step onto his bad leg. He cried out, tripping and falling against the wall.

Lares pulled Hiccup back to his feet, practically dragging him down the hall after Munga. Hiccup tried to walk, because having his leg dragged against the stony ground hurt so badly, but stepping and putting wait on it hurt just as much. He just wanted to crumple to the ground and stay there.

After a while, they exited the cave into the outside world, and Hiccup took just a moment to heave a deep breath, thankful for the fresh air. Lares jerked him forward again, causing him to stumble forward.

"Wh-where are you taking me?" Hiccup finally asked, hating how gravelly and raspy his voice sounded. At that moment, the mere thought of water made his head spin and his throat grow drier. How he wished… how he longed for fresh, clean, moisturizing water.

"Time for you to do what you do best." Munga started.

"You want to hear me be sarcastic?" Hiccup said… sarcastically.

Lares jerked his arm, Hiccup's leg grating against the ground and shooting pain up and down the limb. Hiccup groaned, leaning forward heavily.

Munga's voice came again, dark and menacing. "You are going to train my dragons." He paused, "And if you don't, I'll kill the dragon you don't train."

Hiccup's breath hitched in his throat. This man really knew how to push Hiccup's buttons. He knew all of Hiccup's weaknesses. He knew, Hiccup would do anything to keep a dragon from getting hurt.

Hey continued to lead him downhill till they came to stop at a kill ring- one much like the academy back home. Since it was still dark out- although Hiccup could see signs of the sun making an appearance on the horizon- there were torches lit around it. Hiccup could make out the shapes of Viking's standing around the edges, apparently waiting for the "show" to begin.

Lares brought Hiccup to the gate, and once it was open, he shoved the boy inside. Hiccup leaned heavily against the wall, trying to put as little weight on his bad leg as possible.

He looked up when he heard Munga's voice shout, "Release the Changewing!"

A Changewing.

Of course, it would be a Changewing.

Out of all the Dragon's, they chose a Changewing. The one that Hiccup would most likely need the ability to run to train?

But Hiccup wasn't sure if he should train the dragon or not. If he didn't… the dragon would be killed. If he did… Munga would use the dragon and would most likely treat it cruelly for the rest of its life.

Hiccup took a deep breath, not really having a whole lot of time to ponder on what to do, for the door on the opposite end of the ring was already opening.

And before the door was even open a crack, they burst open, a large fiery red Changewing leaping into the open.

GAHHHH THIS IS TOO SHORT!

I apologize everybody, for how short this thing is. It does reach my goal of 1500 words (its actually 1600) but it's still so short!

I'm suffering from writer's block, people. At least, today I am. And on this story.

Tomorrow, or later today if you're lucky, I'll try to write a bit longer one. But, yeah, I wanted to update today because I got a few more followers and I don't want to let you guys down!

Okay, enough of my rambling. See you next chapter! Bye for now!
