Chapter 15: Twinsanity
'They say two heads are better than on, which is often true. But four heads? Eh, that's a few heads too many.'
"How are we supposed to see up here?" Ruffnut asks her best friend as she flies in front of them on Toothless.
"You're not. That's the whole point." Hicca explains to her best friend.
"Oh. No, I still don't get it." Tuffnut says.
"When you two can't see, you have to trust Barf and Belch to see for you. Like this." Hicca says flying off into the clouds.
"Why does she always have to speak in riddles?" Tuffnut asks.
"I say we trust us." Ruffnut says.
"Yeah, I'm with you, sister." Tuffnut says.
"Barf, up." Ruffnut orders to her dragon's head.
"Belch, down." Tuffnut orders at the same time as his sister.
As a result of the separate commands Barf and Belch fly violently as one head does a command besides the other. The Twins and Barf and Belch collide with Fishlegs and Meatlug.
"Whoa!" The Twins and Fishlegs yell as they fall and land on a tree and a result of the weight from the Twins causes the branch to begin to snap.
"Belch, get me down." Tuffnut says.
"Barf, go for help." Ruffnut says at the same time.
The result once again is the same causing Barf and Belch to go astray and unable to help them. Meanwhile Fishlegs lends them a hand with Meatlug by signaling the Gronckle with her hands and successfully rescues the Twins.
"It worked. I can't believe it actually worked." Fishlegs says excitedly but her overexcitement causes her branch to snap. "Whoa!" She screams but is saved by Serpentina as Toothless hovers next to his sister.
"Good catch Serpentina." Hicca says to her Grapple Grounder.
"Thank you Hicca." Serpentina says to her rider.
"What was that hand thing you were doing, Fishlegs?" Hicca asks.
"If you must know, I have been crafting some rudimentary hand signals for Meatlug just in case we get separated, and they seem to have been well-received." Fishlegs explains.
"Hmm. Hand signals. That's incredible, Fishlegs!" Hicca says seeing it as revolutionary.
"Yeah, I know." Fishlegs says excited again.
"We need to start working on those right away." Hicca says guiding Toothless back to the Dragon Academy with Serpentina following.
At the academy, everyone is teaching their dragons hand signals and some are doing well. Hicca stands in front of her dragons with a shield in her hand, two dummies next to her as well as two large boulders.
"Everyone battle ready." Hicca says to her dragons clutching her fist and they all get into a battle stance. "Toothless, plasma blast." She says pointing at the ground and tosses the shield into the air and Toothless blasts it to pieces. "Bones, smash." She says making a fist with her hand and slams it downward as Bones uses his tail to smash one of the boulders to pieces. "Serpentina, strangle." She says clamping her hand together in a twisting manner and Serpentina wraps around one of the dummies, strangling it with her body causing it to fall to pieces. "Mist, blast." She says using her hand to make a spewing motion which Mist blasts the remaining dummy with her scolding water blast sending it into the wall. "Etch, crush." She says clutching her hand into a fist as Etch dives into the remaining boulder and uses her teeth to destroy the large rock. "Good jobs all of you. Smile." She says running her finger across her lips to make a smile on her face and all her dragons try to smile
"Not bad. Stormfly, spine shot!" Asher says thrusting his arms forward as Stormfly opens her spines on her tail and fires them in front of Asher but one hits the edge of his boot. "Well, that's better than last time. Blazer, flame up!" He says putting his hands together and opens in a wide manner causing Blazer to light his body on fire.
"Hookfang, annihilate!" Snotlout orders pointing at one of the barriers but Hookfang grins and blast fire in front of his rider. "Whoa!" She screams as she is sent into the barrier, knocking it over.
"Bull's-eye." Tuffnut says amused at the girl's pain.
"Meatlug, hug." Fishlegs says wrapping her arms around herself as her dragon flies right at her and tackles the girl to the ground and licks her face.
"Hmm, that could actually be useful. Ruff, Tuff, your turn." Hicca says turning to the twins.
"Belch, come." Tuffnut says gesturing to himself.
"Barf, go." Ruffnut says pointing away from her
The result is the two dragon's heads go in opposite directions but because of the connected body they come back and bang heads together causing the dragon to fall to the ground while the twins growl at each other.
"Belch, ground." Tuffnut says pointing to the ground.
"Barf, sky." Ruffnut says pointing to the sky.
The result this is the dragon gets into the air and does a few flips before falling to the ground.
"Ha-ha, I win!" Tuffnut says.
"What do you think you're doing to my dragon?" Ruffnut asks angrily at her brother.
"Your dragon? Puh-lease. You've been breathing in Barf's gas again." Tuffnut says.
"Yeah, so?" Ruffnut asks.
"Guys, guys. Barf and Belch is one dragon. You have to use one signal at a time." Hicca says.
"Good idea. Barf, attack Tuffnut." Ruffnut says and Barf thrust his head forward into Tuffnut sending him colliding into Snotlout. "Heh, how's that?" She asks.
"I don't think it's what Hicca-" Fishlegs begins to say while walking up next to Hicca.
"Belch, eat Ruffnut." Tuffnut says making an eating gesture with his hand.
"Uh, ow." Ruffnut says from inside Belch's mouth.
"Tuff, come on." Hicca says annoyed with her best friend's brother.
"Whatever. Belch, drop Ruffnut." Tuffnut says making the release gesture with his hand as Belch release Ruffnut.
"Ugh. I can't work like this." Ruffnut says.
"Ugh, it's completely unprofessional." Tuffnut says walking over.
"I'm taking my dragon and going home." Ruffnut says.
"You touch that dragon, and I'll-" Tuffnut begins to say.
"You'll what?" Ruffnut asks getting in her brother's face.
"I…I don't know. Don't rush me. Just, uh…uh…I'll tell you tomorrow." Tuffnut says and runs over to Belch and pulls on his head.
"Ugh, come on, Barf." Ruffnut says pulling on Barf's head.
"Guys, come on, stop, please. Leave the dragon out of it. It's over." Hicca says.
"Oh, it's over." Ruffnut says to her best friend.
"Yeah, it's so over, it's under." Tuffnut says not making sense and walks over away from Ruffnut while Barf and Belch try to follow their riders but can't because of their attached bodies.
"What was that all about?" Asher asks walking over.
"Eh, they'll be back." Hicca says and looks to see Barf and Belch biting at each other.
Later, Hicca and her dragons were walking to her house while Bones, Serpentina, Mist, and Etch return to the dragon stable as Toothless follows Hicca. From inside she can hear struggling and wonders what's going on.
"Agh, suck in your gut, Stoick." Gobber says trying to get Stoick into a belt.
"It's sucked, Gobber. It doesn't suck anymore than this." Stoick says struggling.
"Ah, the ceremonial belt. Is it that time again?" Hicca asks seeing the sight before her.
"Yep, tomorrow's the annual treaty signing with the Berserker tribe." Stoick says as Gobber continues to try and tighten the belt.
"They've gotta change that name. When your chief's Osvald the Agreeable, and you haven't been to war in 50 years-" Gobber begins to say.
"Oh, please tell me he's not bringing that flirtiest and lunatic kid of his?" Hicca asks shuddering at the thought.
"Dagur? Oh, he'll be here." Gobber says.
"Oh, great, and let me guess. I get to keep him from breaking things." Hicca says.
"Actually, I have a more important job for you. You get to hide all the dragons." Stoick says to his daughter.
"From Osvald the Agreeable? Why?" Hicca asks.
"Hicca, just because we've have had peace with them for 50 years doesn't mean they still can't go, well-" Stoick begins to say trying to find the right word.
"Berserk?" Gobber asks.
"Exactly. The dragons could be seen as a sign of aggression. Better blissful than bloody I always say." Stoick says.
"And the last thing we want is another Berserker skirmish. They tend to play for keeps." Gobber says.
"Just hide the dragons, darling. And make sure to wear your arm brace to hide your scar. Agh!" Stoick yells as he was yanked back by the belt by Gobber.
The next day three Terrible Terrors were sniffing the ground when Toothless sends a plasma blast at them to get them back into the air.
"Back in line! Back in line! Everybody, in line, in line. Is Dagur coming? He's so cool." Snotlout says acting like a fan girl.
"Cool? Last time he was here, he used me for a knife throwing target. Not to mention he continues to flirt with me every chance he gets." Hicca says shuddering at the memories.
"That guy should be locked up in a cage." Asher says not liking what Hicca told them.
"That's what he did to me. He wouldn't let me eat for three days." Fishlegs says.
"Then he force-fed you rotten cod heads." Snotlout remind the girl in a teasing manner.
"Thanks. I almost erased that from my memory." Fishlegs says.
"Look out, incoming Zippleback!" Asher says spotting Barf and Belch without their riders.
"Where's Ruffnut and Tuffnut?" Hicca asks as Barf and Belch zip past her and Snotlout. "Someone get that dragon." She says.
"I'm on it." Snotlout says turning Hookfang around and flies after the Zippleback.
Hookfang flies over Barf and Belch as Snotlout slides off her saddle and lands on Belch's neck.
"Snotlout, you need two riders. Fishlegs, get in there." Hicca says.
"Heh, I'm not sure this is really the best-whoa!" Fishlegs yells as Barf butts his head against Meatlug causing the large girl to land on his neck making him release his gas. "I don't feel so good." She says accidentally breathing it in.
"It's the gas. Just try not to breathe anymore in." Hicca warns the girls.
"Yeah, that ship has sailed." Fishlegs says.
"Whoa! Oh, hey. Somebody tell me how to work this thing!" Snotlout shouts nearly losing her grip.
"Whatever you do, Snotlout, don't spark." Hicca says but it was too late as Belch ignites the gas causing the girls to be blown off but lucky Hookfang catches them.
"Okay, now I feel worse." Fishlegs says.
"Then if I were you, I would not think of that rotten cod head sliding down your throat." Snotlout says teasing Fishlegs but causes her to vomit. "Oh, that is disgusting." She says while Hicca watches Barf and Belch fly away.
"Wait here. I need to find the twins to get that Zippleback under control before the Berserkers-" Hicca begins but then hears a horn sound.
"Are here." Asher says spotting the ships.
"Great. Just great. Etch try and track down Barf and Belch but stay underground. We don't want any Berserkers seeing you." Hicca says to her Whispering Death.
"You got it, Hicca, I'll find them as fast as I can." Etch says as she dives downward and into the ground.
At the docks, Stoick and Gobber awaits Osvald to step foot on the harbor.
"Hey, daddy, there's something-" Hicca tries to tell her father.
"Not now, darling. Osvald is here." Stoick says stopping her.
"Presenting the high chief of the Berserker tribe-cracker of skulls, slayer of beasts, the great and fearsome…" A Berserker begins to say loudly.
"Osvald the Agreeable?" Gobber asks a little shocked.
"Dagur the Deranged!" The Berserker yells stepping aside to reveal a tall, skinny red haired boy in his late teens. He has a tattoo of three line like claw marks across his left eye. His hair is pulled back in a braid, with a helmet that covers most of his head with long horns on it. Under it he wears a black headband. He has a brown shirt and a tan and green tunic with metal studs. His left arm is covered in green bindings, with a large one on his forearm and a spiky elbow pad, and his left arm has only a leather strap. He has a metal shoulder and knee pads, and a large, gold belt buckle with his crest, a dragon silhouette, on it. He wears tan pants and pale green boots with brown bands. He also has a black, studded belt he wears over his left shoulder, which he uses to hold his sword. Dagur spits and chuckles with an evil smirk.
"Dagur?" Stoick asks in shock.
"Deranged?" Gobber asks in shock as well.
"Oh, no." Hicca says
"Hyah!" Dagur grunts as her throws a knife towards Hicca but she ducks, barely missing the knife.
"Oh, perfect." Hicca says as Dagur winks at her.
"Dagur, where's your father?" Stoick asks.
"My father has been retired. He lost his taste for blood. I, on the other hand, am starving." Dagur says chuckling before looking around. "So…where are you hiding them, Stoick?" He asks.
"Hiding what, Dagur?" Stoick asks.
"Do I look stupid to you?" Dagur asks.
"Trick question. Don't answer it." Gobber whispers to Stoick.
"We both know what's going on here. I have it on excellent authority that you're amassing an army of dragons." Dagur says.
"Excellent authority? And who would that be, Dagur?" Stoick asks.
"Never mind. Just know that if I find it to be true, then my armada will attack with the force of 50,000 brave Berserker soldiers." Dagur says.
"Stand down, Dagur. There won't be any need for the armada. Now let's get to the treaty." Stoick says as Hicca sneaks off.
"Yes, let's. According to the treaty, my visit starts with a tour of Berk, the armory, the feast in the Great Hall, the killing arena. You do still kill dragons here, hmm?" Dagur asks.
"Your father never found the tour necessary." Stoick says.
"As you can see, I'm not my father. Am I?" Dagur asks with a grin.
Stoick then grips his sword but Gobber stops him.
"Not in front of the armada." Gobber says as Stoick looks at the Berserker ships in Berk's waters.
Meanwhile. Hicca runs through the village panicking like crazy.
"Ah, this is bad, this is bad. This is really bad. I have to find that Zippleback." Hicca says but then Asher grabs her by the arm and pulls her in between two buildings.
"Hicca, we have a problem." Asher says.
"Oh, yeah? You're telling me. Dagur's the new Berserker chief." Hicca says.
"What?" Asher asks in shock.
"Yeah, his father "retired." And he thinks we're hiding dragons." Hicca says.
"Well, we kind of are. Which brings us to our next problem." Asher says pointing down to the Zippleback tracks in the dirt.
"Huh? Barf? Belch? Here?" Hicca asks but then the ground starts rumbling to reveal Etch. "Etch. Thank goodness. Please tell me you have so good news, girl." She asks.
"Well I have good news and bad news." Etch says.
"Okay give me the good news. I really need it." Hicca says.
"Good news; all the dragons are successfully hidden and no one will find them." Etch says to her rider.
"Oh good. Now the bad news." Hicca says readying herself for it.
"Bad news; Barf and Belch are in the village." Etch says.
"We know. We're trying to find them.
"Well worse news; they walked right past you into the square to eat fish." Etch says.
"What? Not good. Not good!" Hicca says running after the Zippleback with Asher.
The two teens grab the basket of fish and lead the dragon way from the approaching group.
"And we're walking, walking. Here we have our food storage. It's where we, well…" Gobber tries to think of what to say.
"Oh, oh, let me guess-store your food." Dagur says dully and walks inside.
"No wonder they made him chief." Gobber says to Stoick as they follow him.
"Barf, Belch, come back here!" Hicca says chasing after the dragon with Asher.
"Bo-ring! I want to see the dragon-killing things." Dagur says in a whiny voice.
"Follow me." Stoick says.
"Where did it go?" Asher asks.
"I have no idea. Uh, you keep looking, and I'll go warn my daddy." Hicca says running over to find her father.
Inside the armory, Dagur acts obnoxious when he uses the weapons by acting as he is killing and slaughtering dragons without mercy.
"You want some of this, Gronckle? Unh! How 'bout you, Nadder? Unh! That's right, plead! Plead for your pathetic dragon life!" Dagur says and throws the sword in his hands causing it to embed itself in the center of a shield.
"He's really got a handle on that whole deranged thing." Gobber says to Stoick as they watch the deranged boy swing another sword around wildly.
"I'm about to make him eat this sword." Stoick says angrily but Gobber stops him.
"Why don't we see to signing that treaty now?" Gobber asks.
"Sounds like my father. "Sign the treaty, Dagur. Leave that chicken alone, Dagur. Ooh, put down that axe, Dagur!"" Dagur says mocking his father.
"Your father is a great man, and I'll not have you disrespect him." Stoick says.
"My father was a coward. I intend to return the Berserkers to their former glory-something he was incapable of doing." Dagur says while Stoick stares angrily at him but then sees Barf and Belch run by.
"Zippleback." Stoick says.
"I knew it! Where is it? Oh, let me kill it! Let me kill it!" Dagur says excitedly.
"He's joking, Dagur." Gobber says closing the armory doors. "That Stoick, always the prankster. Tell me, Dagur, what are some of your deranged plans for the Berserker tribe?" He asks putting his prosthetic hook around Dagur's shoulder.
"Barf? Belch?" Hicca whispers quietly.
"Yes, Hicca?" Barf and Belch ask lowering their heads from top the armory roof.
"Guys you can't be here. Oh, come on, what did they do? Okay. Uh, think like Ruffnut and Tuffnut. I can't believe I just said that. Barf, Belch, sky!" Hicca orders with her hands up but they just look at her until she hears Dagur's voice from inside and getting closer causing her to close her eyes and silently panics.
"Nice weapons, very clean, no blood stains, pity. Ah, Hicca, there you are. More beautiful than the last time I saw you." Dagur says to the girl.
"Dagur! I was just thinking about you. Hey, remember that time we went swimming, and you tried to drown me?" Hicca asks.
"Oh, the laughs we had. Bored again!" Dagur says and pushes past Hicca before stopping. "Just a moment. Something is going on here." He says.
"I can explain." Hicca says nervously.
"Where is it?" Dagur asks.
"Look it's just one drag-" Hicca begins to say.
"Your leg." Dagur says pointing to Hicca's prosthetic leg but she looks up to see Barf and Belch are gone but senses them behind the building with Toothless and Etch trying to pull them back. "Never mind. I heard all about it." He says.
"You heard all about what?" Hicca asks still nervous.
"You. The Red Death. Defeated it all on your own." Dagur says.
"What? Me? Look at me. How is that even possible?" Hicca asks nervously.
"Right? That's what I thought, too. But then I heard about the trained dragons, and that got me, well, kind of tingly." Dagur says.
"Trained dragons? I do-I don't even-how would you train a dragon?" Hicca asks innocently.
"I don't know. How would you?" Dagur asks getting in Hicca's face but then Stoick walks out and pushes Dagur away from his daughter.
"All right, then. Whose hungry?" Hicca asks.
"It's this way Dagur." Stoick says pointing to the Great Hall but then everyone hears a growling sound and turns to look at Hicca.
"Arrgh, aaaar. Oh, boy, am I hungry." Hicca says blushing slightly.
"I said, this way, Dagur. Get that dragon out of here." Stoick whispers to Hicca as she runs around back to see Barf and Belch biting at each other with her Night Fury and Whispering Death watching.
"We need the twins." Hicca tells her dragons.
"No kidding." Toothless and Etch say together.
Hicca, Asher, and Toothless make their way to the Twin's household.
"What are you guys doing here?" Tuffnut asks them hanging upside down from a support beam.
"Hey, Tuffnut, feel like talking?" Hicca says.
"Um, can you come down?" Asher asks his friend.
"Whatever." Tuffnut says hopping down from the beam before wobbling a bit. "Whoa, yeah. I love that part." He says.
"Look, about Barf and Belch-we need you and Ruffnut to get your dragon under control." Hicca says.
"Uh-uh. No. No, thank you. I am officially out of the dragon business. And the sister business. And the dragon and sister business. Thedrastesirness…" Tuffnut says making up a word.
"What's going on with you two?" Asher asks.
"Simple. You know what this is?" Tuffnut asks holding up a spoon.
"Uh, a spoon?" Hicca asks not seeing the point.
"No it's our spoon. Just like this is our dish, and our axe, and our well-groomed stuff yak. Everything is ours. I'm sick of ours. Just once I want something to be just mine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go pack up my half of the yak." Tuffnut says grabbing his satchel.
"Go? Where?" Hicca asks.
"I don't know. To my dark, soggy, alone place. Not to cry. This house it has too many memories." Tuffnut says looking around and walks out of the house.
"Tuff!" Hicca calls out but he doesn't stop.
""Dark, soggy, alone place?" Ugh." Asher groans looking at Hicca.
"Yeah, I really don't want to know." Hicca says.
"Neither do I." Toothless says.
Later that night Hicca was in the Great Hall with her father, Gobber, Dagur, and four of his Berserker soldiers.
"Did you get that Zippleback under control?" Stoick asks Hicca quietly.
"We're working on it." Hicca whispers back.
"A toast to death in battle." Dagur says raising his cup.
"To your father!" Gobber says raising his cup.
"To Osvald!" Stoick cheers as everyone raises their cups.
"To Osvald!" Gobber repeats.
"Fine. Whatever. "To Osvald! To Osvald! To Osvald!" Bladdity bladdity blah! Unh!" Dagur groans stabbing his food with his knife.
"Well, on that cheery note, shall we sign the treaty and send you on your way?" Gobber asks unveiling the treaty.
"Great idea! Let's sign that treaty. Bring us the dragon's blood!" Dagur shouts causing Hicca to almost do a spit take but she caught herself.
"Uh, did you say dragon's blood?" Hicca asks wide eyed.
"Heh heh. Don't be ridiculous, Dagur. Your father and I haven't signed the treaty in dragon's blood for years." Stoick says standing up sensing his daughter's uneasiness.
"Why would that be a problem, Stoick? Unless, of course, you don't kill dragons anymore." Dagur says glaring at the Berk chief.
"We still kill dragons." Stoick says.
"The problem is we've killed so many, there isn't a dragon within 200 miles-" Gobber says but then Hicca clutches her head.
"Uh-no." Hicca whispers knowing what it means as Barf and Belch crash through the door of the Great Hall.
"Except that one." Gobber says staring at the Zippleback.
"The Zippleback! It's a sign! A head for each Chief!" Dagur says laughing like a mad man. "It's going to be amazing." He says shaking Stoick before jumping onto the table. "Tonight, we hunt dragon!" Dagur yells throwing his knife with it landing in front of Hicca, who looked like she was ready to faint.
"Yeah! Yeah! Kill!" A Berserker soldier yells.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Another Berserker soldier yells.
"You need to find that Zippleback before he does." Stoick whispers to his daughter.
The next day the riders are one their dragons looking for the twins but are coming up empty.
"Hicca, you heard Tuffnut. He went to his dark, soggy, alone place. That could be anywhere." Asher says to his crush as she rides Toothless while he flies with his brother and sisters.
"Not really. That could only be one place." Snotlout says making everyone look at her. "What?" She asks.
"Why didn't you say something?" Hicca asks slightly annoyed.
"Why didn't you ask?" Snotlout counters.
"Snotlout, we've been looking for them all day." Asher says.
"And?" Snotlout asks.
"And if you don't right now, I'm gonna throw you off that dragon!" Asher yells.
"No need to get violent. He's probably at the Lost Cavern. They used to play "Hide and Go Kill" there when they were kids." Snotlout says.
"Yeah, Ruffnut and I use to play there as well. Maybe they'll both be there. Asher, you and Snotlout take the south entrance of the cavern. Fishlegs and I will take the north." Hicca says as she, her dragons, Fishlegs and Meatlug had north.
"Let's go." Asher says but Snotlout just stares at him. "Ugh." He groans.
"All right, sweetie, do your thing. Search." Hicca says swings her hand outward.
"Got it." Toothless says and leads the group into the cave.
Meanwhile Asher, Stormfly, Blazer, Snotlout, and Hookfang arrive at the south entrance and enter the cave.
"Pretty dark in here. If you need to hold my hand, Asher, it's okay." Snotlout says flirting with the boy.
"Sure, Snotlout." Asher says smiling.
"Ooh, softer than I thought it would be." Snotlout says.
"Take another look." Hookfang says chuckling making Snotlout look to see she was holding the tip of Stormfly's tail.
"Let…go…of…my…tail." Stormfly says slowly.
"EWW!" Snotlout screams in disgust.
"Keep moving." Hookfang says pushing Snotlout forward while laughing.
Meanwhile Hicca, Fishlegs, and the dragons round a corner and see something through the torch's light.
"Ruffnut?" Hicca asks seeing her best friend.
"Oh, you guys. Were you following me?" Ruffnut asks.
"Tuffnut!" They hear Asher's voice.
"Would you quit following me!" They then hear Tuffnut's voice.
"Did you guys hear that?" Hicca asks.
"Duh. It's just us." Snotlout says coming around the corner.
"Bones, give us some light!" Hicca yells to her Boneknapper.
"You got it." Bones says and fires a fireball at the ceiling lighting up the cave.
"What are you doing in my soggy place?" Tuffnut asks standing up.
"This is my soggy place! And I'm not sharing it with you!" Ruffnut says getting up as well.
"Okay, listen, please. We need to get you guys to your dragon. It's important." Hicca says.
"Barf and Belch are in real trouble." Asher tells them.
"I'll go, but not with her." Tuffnut says pointing at his sister.
"I'm not going anywhere with her either." Ruffnut says insulting her brother.
"Yeah! Wait. What?" Tuffnut asks not understanding what Ruffnut just said.
"No, you don't understand, you both have to go." Hicca says as the twins look at each other before turning away. "Guys, listen. Like it or not, your connected to each other. And the two of you are connected to that dragon. Just like me with Toothless, Bones, Serpentina, Mist, and Etch." She says gesturing to her five dragons.
"And me with Stormfly and Blazer." Asher says standing in between his dragons.
"Us too." Fishlegs says standing beside Meatlug.
"We can get you another spoon, another dish, another stuffed yak. What we can't get you is another Barf and Belch." Hicca says.
"Eh…" Tuffnut sighs.
"Do you think they got any of that?" Hicca asks Asher.
"Fine." Tuffnut says as he and his sister spit in their hands and shake them before banging their helmets together. "You know, I did spit a little more in my hand." He says grinning.
"They got it." Asher says smiling.
"Okay, let's go. We're out of time." Hicca says.
"So why is this so important, anyway?" Tuffnut asks.
"The Berserkers are hunting down your dragon to use its blood for ink." Snotlout says shocking everyone. "What? Is that not what's happening?" She asks.
Barf and Belch are wondering through the forest minding their own business as the riders search for them with Ruffnut riding with Hicca and Tuffnut with Asher.
"There they are." Hicca calls out spotting the Zippleback. "We gotta to get you guys down there." She says to Ruffnut but then Barf and Belch were captured by the Berserkers.
"NO!" Tuffnut screams as the dragons land in the trees away from the Berserkers as not to be seen. "What are we doing here? We have to get our dragon." He says.
"We can't afford to be spotted by the Berserkers." Hicca tells him as they watch through the tree line.
Dagur walks forward licking his lips as he grabs his sword and prepares to kill Barf and Belch.
"Hyah!" Dagur says swinging his sword but Stoick stops him with his own sword. "How dare you." He says growling at Stoick.
"How dare you? We're supposed to slay this dragon together, and that's what we'll do…in the arena, where dragon killing is done." Stoick says putting his sword away.
"To the arena!" Dagur orders his soldiers after putting his sword away and they cart Barf and Belch away.
"The chief's not gonna let them kill our dragon…" Tuffnut begins to say.
"Is he?" Ruffnut and Tuffnut ask together.
"He won't have a choice, unless we can figure out a plan." Hicca says.
"I have a plan. One word-ANNIHILATE!" Snotlout says causing Hookfang to breath fire at her. "Uhh! Hookfang!" She groans through her teeth.
"Or not." Asher says rolling his eyes at the girl.
"Actually, that could work." Hicca says confusing everyone.
At the arena Barf and Belch are being held down by the Berserker soldiers.
"According to the treaty, the killing of the dragon…" Gobber begins to say but Dagur just yawns. "Must be-" He continues until Dagur pushes past him.
"Bored. I want the head on the right." Dagur says walking towards Belch with his sword drawn.
"I'm putting a stop to this. If it means war, it means war." Stoick whispers to Gobber walking up behind Dagur as he readies his sword to kill Belch while Stoick draws his sword ready to strike Dagur down.
"Help! Dragon Attack!" Hicca yells acting scared as Hookfang and Blazer crawl down the arena's cage chain while Etch burst out of the ground screeching firing spines everywhere with Serpentina coming out of the hole blasting pulse blasts everywhere as well.
"The Dragons are attacking!" Asher yells acting scared as well.
Snotlout stood outside the arena as she signals Hookfang to breath fire at the Berserkers.
"What is going on?" Gobber asks not understanding why the dragons are attacking.
"Gobber…dragon attack!" Stoick says slowly at him understanding what's happening.
"Oh. Dragon attack! Everyone out of here!" Gobber shouts as Bones, Mist, Stormfly, and Meatlug fly into the arena.
Blazer and Stormfly look to Asher, who is hiding behind a barrier and see him make the signals for "Flame Up" and "Spine Shot" and they do just that as Stormfly fires her spines through Blazer's flames causing the spines to catch fire as they fly towards the Berserker soldiers. Meatlug looks to Fishlegs, who is also hiding behind a barrier, seeing her make the signal for "Hug" and she charges at another Berserker soldier. Bones and Mist look at Hicca as she makes the signals for "Smash" and "Blast" as the two dragons attack the remaining Berserker soldiers.
"We must protect our honored guests." Gobber says grabbing Dagur holding him in place but he breaks free.
"Run if you want, but Dagur the Deranged will not retreat!" Dagur says as Barf and Belch stand up.
The two look near the top of the arena entrance to see their riders.
"Barf, gas." Ruffnut says making a spewing signal with her hand as Barf releases his gas.
"Belch, spark." Tuffnut says snapping his fingers signaling for his dragon to ignite the gas causing it to explode.
"Whoa!" Dagur yells as he is sent flying backwards and lands near a spear.
The twins then signal for their dragon to come as they make their way to the arena entrance. Dagur however grabs the spear and tries to kill the Zippleback but Toothless flies in and grabs the spear in his mouth, breaking it in two growling the Berserker chief.
"A Night Fury. They do exist!" Dagur says in amazement.
"Back, you…fiend, you!" Hicca says acting like she protecting Dagur while holding a shield and tiny dagger. "You'll not harm my friend Dagur." She says blocking Dagur with her shield signaling a "Plasma Blast".
Dagur pushes Hicca away as Toothless fires at him but Hicca pushes out of the way at the last second.
"Please, Dagur, save yourself. You owe it to your people!" Hicca yells pushing Dagur towards the arena entrance while pretends to attack Toothless only for him to pin her to the ground with her shield.
"Berserkers, to the boats!" Dagur yells as they all run away.
"What about the treaty?" Gobber ask holding up the unsigned peace treaty.
"Consider it signed!" Dagur yells ducking under fire blasts as he runs to the boats.
"Well done, Hicca. I doubt we'll be seeing much more of Dagur the Deranged." Stoick says to his daughter after they were clear.
"Let's hope not." Hicca says smiling.
Hours later, while cleaning up the Academy, the Twins finally mend their relationship and discard their old hatred with each other, they now work together with Barf and Belch as a team.
'I used to think four heads was a little crazy, and I wasn't wrong.'
"I still think Dagur's pretty cool." Snotlout says and the twins respond by getting Barf and Belch to blast her away.
The twins exchange headbutts and Barf and Belch imitates them in the action of affection.
'But I'll take crazy over berserk any day of the week.'
