Chapter 20
The Plans RJ Made

Everyone was at the Great Hall today, having lunch while the dragons were at the Dragon Sanctuary, also having lunch, except for the four dragons that lay down at the far corners of the Great Hall for obvious reason.

Hiccup and his gang were at their usual table but with extra companies.

Astrid took the spot on Hiccup's lap since her seat was occupied by RJ Ralph. On his lap was an adult black cat that had its front paws on the table, curiously gazing around. Some people can't focus enough since their eyes sometimes trailed down towards the black cat because of its adorableness.

Though, no one will admit that.

"Where's your giant friend?" Tuffnut asked RJ with his mouth full of muttons. RJ thought for a moment as he petted the purring cat on his lap, making the bell rang gorgeously.

"He's probably visiting his family right now; his mother called him last night," RJ answered as the cat's purr intensified. "And this is not the time to mark his neck, Astrid"

Astrid reluctantly detached her lips from Hiccup's neck who didn't mind at all as he ate his fish. Suddenly, Astrid sat up and snapped her fingers as her facial expression brightened up.

"I forgot that we didn't celebrate Hiccup's return and recovery and also your arrival at Berk"

"Uh… Actually we did," Snotlout under his breath, unheard by anyone but RJ, who had his lips slightly twitched at the comment.

"So why don't we celebrate?" she asked her seven foot friend.

"Sure; what do you have in mind? But I don't want a huge festival or something big," he replied as the black cat curled up on his lap, preparing for a short nap.

"I could just serve the new beverage I made since five years ago. I call it 'yak-nog'. How about that?" she asked excitedly. RJ cocked his head, similar like a cat would do.

He glanced at the people at the same table with the corner of his eyes. They all were vigorously shook their heads and even had a horrified expression; Astrid didn't notice their denials. Hiccup was side-glancing him with a nervous expression, hoping that Astrid didn't see his nervousness.

Even without the Heartbeat, RJ knew that nobody wanted the 'yak-nog'. But if they say no, they will probably face the axe wielded by Astrid.

Although…

"Sure, young lass. Just bring two mugs only; we'll share," he answered with a mysterious grin on his face. Astrid beamed widely and rushed out from the Great Hall and completely missed the groans and the heads banged onto the table.

"Why did you agree to that?" Snotlout whined.

"I think I'm going to die if I drink more of her yak-nog," Fishlegs groaned

"She'll probably kill more people with that drink of her than her axe," Ruffnut commented.

"Even if no one died from her drink they will eventually after that by her axe," Tuffnut muttered.

Surprisingly Hiccup stayed quiet. But RJ got a plan; a mischievous one.

Astrid returned not long after that holding two mugs with oozy liquid inside. She placed one of the on the table, making everyone paled at the sight and had to fight back the urge to vomit. She handed the other mug to RJ who looked at the liquid with a tilted head.

"You know, before I drink this," RJ said slowly with the mysterious grin on his face as the cat on his lap shifted because of the horrible smell of the drink. "Who don't you and Hiccup drink first?"

Astrid blinked. No one had ever suggested her to drink her own drink before. And she had never drunk the yak-nog before even though she had made it for five years now.

"Why?" she asked slowly as everyone else raised their eyebrows.

"Just to celebrate your incredible relationship with your wonderful lifetime mate and companion here," RJ gestured toward the dragon prince, making the bell on his wrist rang gorgeously. The mysterious grin was still on his face.

"But I want to celebrate your arrival on Berk," Astrid retorted back.

"Are you saying that you didn't enjoy your relationship with Hiccup?" RJ asked slyly as the cat on his lap kicked the air, probably chasing butterfly around. Astrid scowled.

"Of course I enjoy the amazing relationship. It's the best thing happened in my life!" to prove her point, she climbed onto Hiccup's lap and furiously kissed his lips, enough to make him startled and suffocated. Their lips were terribly swollen after Astrid ended the kiss and glared at the grinning RJ.

"So to celebrate your 'amazing relationship', let's drink it," he shook the mug in his hand toward Astrid.

"Alright," she grabbed the mug and thrust into Hiccup's hand. She grabbed the other mug quite forcefully. "Cheers," she clanked her mug with Hiccup, completely oblivious to the disbelieved stares she received from Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins.

She tilted the mug into her mouth to drink the yak-nog she created. Once the liquid touched her tongue, her eyes widened as she gagged. The liquid swirled in her mouth as she desperately tried to swallow the drink, making the horrible taste intensified.

Tears of disgust started to form in her eyes as the horrible liquid slid down her neck. She was still gagging at the taste as some of the liquid got stuck in her mouth. She sniffed and stared down into her mug, disbelieved.

'Is this the drink I had been made the whole time!?' she yelled in her thought. She looked up at Hiccup who finally and reluctantly swallowed the drink. He had been drinking her beverage for the pass five years for her sake.

No wonder everyone made funny faces after they drank her yak-nog. She thought that was the cheerful effect of her drink. Now she knew why.

She looked at RJ who placed his chin on his fist on the table with a smug grin on his face. Astrid suddenly blushed red in embarrassment.

"So how's the drink?" he slyly asked, making her blushed intensified.

'Let me curl up in a corner and die of embarrassment' Astrid thought as she put the mug onto the table. Everyone else was laughing hard at her disgusted expression earlier. Hiccup on the other hand hugged her in understanding.

"Let's just have a flight for celebration, shall we," Hiccup suggested. RJ and the others agreed.

Hiccup was adjusting the saddle on Toothless as the others mounted their dragons. His four bodyguards were a Skrill, a Changewing, and two Deadly Nadders. They too were quite excited for the flight. RJ decided to ride Shock the Skrill, one of the current bodyguards.

"Where are ye all going?" they all turned toward the speaker. Valka was approaching with Cloudjumper close behind him. He bowed before Hiccup and then nuzzled his offered hand.

"We're just going to fly around for a while," he answered as he patted Cloudjumper on the snout.

"Mind if I join along? I need to look around for injured dragons or anything," his mother asked and he nodded. Hiccup mounted Toothless with Astrid in front of him. He checked around to see if anyone was ready and secured. Once he done the checkup, he along with Astrid shot up into the sky.

The others followed shortly but took a longer time to catch up with the Night Fury. RJ took shorter time since he rode the Skrill. Finally, they all regrouped in the sky.

All the while, RJ screamed in enthusiasm as he electrocuted himself by the Skrill.

"Have you ever wondered what happened to Bigbee's old nest?" Astrid turned around and asked the dragon prince.

"No; why don't we check it?" Hiccup suggested.

"Aye," Valka agreed. "We need to check the nest to see if there are dragons there who didn't know about the new nest," everyone else nodded. Except for RJ who lay spread on the back of Shock.

They all turned and headed toward the old nest. Once they arrived, they all stared in shock. The nest was completely destroyed.

"What happened here?" Hiccup looked around, shocked.

"It wasn't like this when we left," Astrid commented. Everyone else was looking around them, wondering why the large nest was destroyed. Valka suddenly gasped.

"Hide!" she yelled and flew away. They all followed her to behind an ice glacier and lay down low.

"What is it?" Snotlout asked as he jumped off from Hookfang. Valka pointed toward the ground below, revealing a large lone ship. Since he got dragon eyes, Hiccup can see distant things much easier and doesn't need any spyglass to see.

"Who are they?" he asked as he saw multiple people took down a dragon.

"Dragon Trappers," Valka answered as she peeked over the ice glacier. Everyone gasped as Ruffnut took out a spyglass. Once she looked through the spyglass, she was drooling over a guy.

"Who's that guy?" RJ pointed toward a person with a black ponytail, one sword tied to his back and another one on his waist. He was ordering people around.

"That's Eret, son of Eret," Valka answered in a hush tone. RJ turned toward her and tilted head.

"Eret, son of Eret?" he repeated, making Valka nodded.

"We need to free those dragons," Astrid said, also in a hush tone as they all peek from behind an ice glacier.

"But first, we need to distract them all," Hiccup suggested. "We need to knock them all out"

"I can handle it," Snotlout grinned as he cracked his knuckles with Tuffnut snickered.

"Yeah, and then get caught like the dragons," Tuffnut spoke with an amused tone.

"I'm not that weak," Snotlout raised his voice and immediately got silent by everyone's hisses, except for Ruffnut who was staring at Eret.

"Valka," RJ called. "Eret, son of Eret is the leader of these dragon trappers, right?" he questioned as he formulating a plan.

"Yes, and he's a good fighter too," Valka whispered, making the white-green seven foot figure grinned.

"I got a plan," RJ said and everyone huddled together to know about the plan. "I'll distract the leader so no orders could be given out. While everyone was distracted, I want you all to knock them out one by one"

"What?" Ruffnut whined. "But I want the hunky handsome Eret," she pouted but tugged in back her lips when everyone glared at her, except for RJ who looked quite amused.

"Anyway," he started. "You all got the plan?" he asked and everyone nodded. "Good; now 'hurrah' on three," he clapped his hand. "One, two, three"

"Hurrah"
"Hurrah"
"Hurrah"
"Hurrah"
"Hurrah"
"Hurrah"
"Hurrah"

"Good, I'll be going now," RJ stood up and sneaked away. Everyone was staring at where he just left.

"Why do we need to say that word?" Astrid asked in confusion.

"I don't know," Hiccup answered. "What was the word, anyway? And why are we whispering?"

Back down on the ground, Eret was quite happy that he had finally caught some dragons. His boss would be happy.

He wound a rope around the Deadly Nadder's head as his men pinned it down and securing it. He kept looking at the tail, cautious about it. Once everything was secured, he jumped down and brushed the imaginary dust from his forearm.

"Whoa, hey; Hi, nice pointy spikes and curvy curves you all got there," Eret heard a voice he had never heard before. He turned towards the speaker and saw his men pointing their weapons toward a newcomer.

The newcomer was somewhere around seven feet tall and his clothing was white with a small touch of green. His hair was black with small locks of green and spiky. He noticed that the right forearm of the newcomer was completely covered with green clothes.

Eret noticed that there was a bell tied onto his wrist with a green ribbon. Placed on his ring finger was a silver ring without any gem on it. Behind the newcomer's ear was a small bundle of hair tied by a green band.

He had never seen this guy before.

Suddenly, the newcomer turned toward him and mysteriously beamed.

"Yo, Eret; I finally have the chance to meet you!" he exclaimed as he pushed the pointed weapons away and approached the leader. "I heard a lot about you, man!" he waved making the silver bell rang gorgeously.

"You… heard about me?" he asked as he looked at the newcomer up and down. The newcomer was still mysteriously beaming.

"Yeah; Eret spoke about you a lot," he clasped onto Eret's shoulder as the bell rang gorgeously.

"Who?" Eret asked in confusion, unaware that one of his men got knocked out.

"You know; the Eret! You forgot about him?" the newcomer furrowed his eyebrows. "He won't be happy if hear that you forgot about Eret," he commented.

"What brings you here?" Eret asked before the conversion got off topic, oblivious to the hammer knocking onto two of his men.

"Didn't I tell you earlier?" the newcomer replied cheerfully. "I came here to see you, man! And just like I said before, Eret talked a lot about you"

"Really?" Eret asked, not quite believing him yet. His focus was centered on the newcomer he did realized that half of his men was disappeared.

"Yeah, man; all day and night, Eret bragged about you. Anyway, how's Eret?" he suddenly asked as patted Eret's shoulder, making the bell rang gorgeously.

"Who?"

"The Eret; come on, man. Don't tell me you forgot about him too," the newcomer frowned as he scratched the back of his neck. "Have you heard any news about Eret?" he asked another question.

"Didn't he travel to the west?" Eret tried to answer.

"No, not that Eret; I heard about him few days ago. I was talking about the Eret, grandson of Eret. Last time I heard, he was conquering the east side of the world about two months ago"

"Isn't Eret die last year?" Eret asked him as five more of his men knocked out unnoticed.

"Not that Eret; the other Eret," the newcomer sighed. "Are you seriously forgetting about your family, Eret? They won't be happy if they found out," he rubbed his face under his glasses, making the bell rang gorgeously. "What happened to Eret, actually?"

"Uh… he discovered that the world is round and not flat?"

"I don't think that Eret was the first person who discovered it. Isn't Eret the one who found out that he lied that he was the first one to found the discovery?"

"But…"

"You forgot about Eret too!? Oh my- Eret! Eret was so happy about you when I met him months ago! And Eret the son of Eret who was the grandson of Eret which happened to be the great-great-grandson of Eret, son of Eret always bragged about you!"

Eret scowled.

"If you told me which person you are talking about then I-" Eret immediately got cut off when he felt something hard hit his head, causing him to fall unconscious. Everyone else was knocked out unconscious by Hiccup and his gang along with the dragons.

"I can't believe that that just worked," RJ commented, incredibly, incredibly amused at the previous conversation as he looked down at the fallen Eret.

"Well, at least it worked, right?" Valka commented as she began to untie the Deadly Nadder. "Let's release the dragons, shall we?" she asked and everyone else nodded. They all searched the large ship to check for trapped dragons and released them.

The new released dragons suddenly roared and hissed at Hiccup and his gang; mistaken them for the enemy. Everyone else stood back to avoid injuries but Hiccup stood his ground. The dragon continued their aggravation until their eyes landed onto Hiccup.

::The Dragon Prince!:: a dragon roared in shock.

::It is the Dragon Prince!:: roared another dragon. The four rescued dragons stopped roaring and bowed before Hiccup.

::Forgive us, Your Highness; we do not know your friends come to rescue us:: another dragon rumbled in such politeness, still bowing.

"What brings you here to the dragon king's previous nest?" Hiccup asked them with authority.

::We are here to live under His Majesty's care and protection. But the nest seemed to be empty. May I acquired why, Your Highness?::

"The dragon king created a new nest on an island call Berk. You may follow us there to his new nest," Hiccup told them.

::We thank you, Your Highness::

"Let's get out of here," Hiccup turned around to face his gang. They all had sly smiles on their face. They, both Vikings and dragons, along with RJ, mockingly bowed before him.

"As you wish, Your Highness"
::As you wish, Your Highness::

They all spoke at the same time. Hiccup rolled his eyes as everyone laughed.

Though, Hiccup was wondering why these people trapped dragons. He will ask his mother for these.
