Chapter 20: We Are Family Part II
Hicca's voice over: Previously on Dragons…
Stoick: Bork week has begun.
Gobber: Everything Bork wrote is in these notes.
Hicca: This is an island…filled with Night Furies.
Snotlout: To find this island, we have to find Bork's cave?
Hicca: It's a map…to the Isle of Night! Bork was right. Go get him, Toothless! Toothless-no!
Mildew: You believed our Bork notes. You followed the map we drew. You walked right into our trap.
Alvin: We're headed home…to Outcast island!
On Outcast Island, in the dragon cages, where all the wild dragons of the island are locked up. The sound of water dripping causes a Deadly Nadder to bang it's face against the cage with a thud and then snarls.
"Where's my dragon, Alvin? Where's Toothless?" Hicca asks as she is lead through the prison while her hands are in manacles and looking at the caged dragons.
"You'll see him soon enough. Don't you worry." Alvin says to the girl as Savage follows.
"You know, I have to admit…luring me and Toothless to the Isle of Night, building a fake Night Fury…not bad." Hicca says to the Outcast leader.
"Ha ha! "Not bad…" says the one-legged girl in manacles." Alvin says.
"But turning Mildew into an Outcast? Using him against us? Come on, Alvin. That's low-hanging fruit-even for you." Hicca says as Savage chuckles but earns him a fist to the face and helmet as Hicca hears the clang.
"No one thinks you're funny, girl. Now, keep movin'!" Savage says pushing the girl forward.
Hicca then looks into one of the cages and sees a wild Whispering Death tied down by ropes while two Outcast soldiers try to keep from getting free but the dragon dives into the earth confusing the two soldiers before it pops up knocking them into the back of the cage and roars at them.
"You know it's gonna keep doing that, right? It is a Whispering Death." Hicca says but Savage pushes her forward while he and Alvin watch the dragon as it snarls at them.
In the next cage Hicca stands in front of an Outcast guard and sees a wild Scauldron drinking water from a tub before it looks at Hicca and blasts water at her but she steps out of the way allowing the guard to take the hit instead.
"A Scauldron…impressive. You might wanna cut back its water." Hicca says as she walks on.
"Oy, write that down." Alvin says to Savage as the two of them observe the Scauldron and quickly move along as it was about to blast them.
Hicca walks ahead but then sees two guard run to a seemingly empty cage as they open it making the metal clang.
"It's escaped again!" The Outcast guard says.
"Actually, no. It's right behind you. Changewing. Regular one, titan wings are much more ferocious." Hicca explains as the Changewing makes itself know from the cave wall.
"Aah!" The Outcast guard yell as they dodge and acid blast.
"Whoo! Wow, you guys really don't have a handle on these dragons, do you?" Hicca asks.
"Well, that's why you're here. Welcome to your new job, Hicca." Alvin says gripping Hicca's shoulders.
"A job? Me? As inviting as that sounds, I'm gonna have to pass." Hicca says as she walks on with Alvin and Savage following.
"Hicca, Hicca, Hicca…why do you have to make things so difficult?" Alvin asks.
"Really not the first time I've been asked that question." Hicca says but then her eyes widen as she see her Night Fury. "Toothless!" She shouts seeing the Outcasts have tied up Toothless very tightly, so that he could barely move.
"Hicca." Toothless barely manages to say cause his mouth was muzzled but he then starts snarling, causing the chains to clang.
"Hang in there, sweetie. I'll get you out." Hicca says to her main dragon.
"He's not going anywhere. Neither are you. You will help me train these dragons." Alvin says.
"And if I don't?" Hicca asks.
"Well…then they're no good to me. None of 'em! Especially yours." Alvin says in a threatening tone.
Hicca expression turns into a gloomy one as she stares back at her Night Fury but she is led away to another prison.
"Can I get you anything-food, a cozy blanket, some warm yak milk?" Savage asks as he pushes Hicca into an empty cell and slams the door causing it to clang. "Ha ha ha! Yak milk!" He says walking away with laughing.
Meanwhile, the riders, along with Stoick, Thornado, Gobber, and the rest of Hicca's dragons, have arrived at the Isle of Night.
"The Isle of Night!" Fishlegs exhales while looking at the map in Hicca's notebook. "Finally, the chance to see Night Furies in their natural habitat! I'm bursting at the seams!" She says excitedly.
"Don't wet yourself. I'm right behind you." Snotlout says as Hookfang flies behind the girl.
"Gobber and I will check the north side with Hicca's dragons. You kids head south. If we find anything, you'll hear it from Thornado." Stoick says as he directs Thornado to the north side of the island with Hicca's dragons following.
"All right, this place is gonna be crawling with Night Furies, so let's fly low till we get a sense of where Hicca might be and how many Night Furies there are." Asher says to the rest of the riders.
Back on Outcast Island, Hicca was trying to pick the lock to her cell when she hears someone coming.
"Alvin, I gave you what you wanted. We had a deal!" Mildew says as he carries Fungus under his left arm and Savage holds his right arm guiding him to an empty cell.
"I didn't like that deal. So I changed it." Alvin says.
"Oh, I believe you two know each other. Don't get too chummy." Savage says pushing Mildew into the cell. "Mildew's hours are numbered. Much like you and the Night Fury." He taunts as Alvin walks up to Mildew and grabs Fungus.
"Oh! No! What are you doing with me Fungus?" Mildew asks.
"Preparing your final meal. It's lamb." Alvin says as he walks out of the cell as Savage closes it causing Mildew to gasp.
"Fungus! No!" Mildew yells.
"Berkians. Still as dumb as the day I left." Alvin says with his voice fading.
"What have I done?" Mildew asks himself while Hicca stares at the old man before sitting down and plays March of the Dragon on her flute. "What are you doing?" The old man asks but the girl doesn't respond.
The teens continue their search when Asher, Fishlegs, and Snotlout discover a Night Fury.
"Night Fury. Let's check it out!" Asher says as they land in front of the fake Night Fury. "Uh…guys, this isn't a-" He begins to say.
"Night Fury!" Tuffnut's yelling voice was heard and a second later the fake Night Fury exploded.
"But it's very realistic." Fishlegs says after taking a piece of the fake Night Fury off her face and observing it.
"Yeah. Good thing we came along when we did." Tuffnut says as Barf and Belch land on the other side of destroyed fake Night Fury.
"What were you thinking? If that was Toothless, you could have killed him!" Asher yells in anger.
"Yeah, well, if my chicken had horns, he'd be my yak." Tuffnut says as Barf and Belch walk over to the group.
"And if I were weak and girly, I'd be my brother." Ruffnut says.
"Yeah! Wait. What?" Tuffnut asks not getting the taunt his sister said about him.
"We saw the Zippleback fire from the sky. Did you find something?" Stoick asks as Thornado and Hicca's dragons fly in and land beside Meatlug.
"We did. A fake Night Fury." Asher says.
"Where is it?" Stoick asks.
"Uh…gone? Blown to pieces, actually." Fishlegs says as Stoick looks at the twins angrily to see them acting innocently with Tuffnut making a squeaking sound by rubbing his finger against Belch's horn.
Suddenly Hicca's dragons start getting riled up and then fly off into the night confusing the others.
"Where are they going?" Snotlout asks watching the dragons fly away.
"No idea. Should we go after them?" Ruffnut asks.
"Let's worry about them later. Eh. Well, what do we have here?" Gobber asks taking the piece of the fake Night Fury from Fishlegs and sniffs it. "Smell this." He says holding the piece up to the girl as she sniffs it and then starts gagging. "Nasty, isn't it?" He asks.
"Oh, I wanna smell. Put it near my face." Tuffnut says.
"This false head was made of dragon skin then covered with ash from a charred Loki tree." Gobber explains.
"Loki tree? Never heard of it." Snotlout says.
"That's because it only grows in one place." Stoick says.
"Outcast island." Gobber says.
"Oh, no. Hicca is on Outcast island." Fishlegs says dreadfully.
"The good news is we know where Hicca and Toothless are and her dragons are heading in that direction. But how did they know before we knew?" Stoick asks.
"Hicca's flute!" Ruffnut exclaims.
"That's right! She must be playing her song March of the Dragon to summon the rest of her dragons because she's in trouble." Asher says.
"Dragons do have a very good sense of hearing." Fishlegs explains.
"Then let's hurry and catch up to the six dragons!" Stoick shouts as he and Gobber get back on Thornado's saddle and they all fly after Hicca's dragons.
Back on Outcast Island in the prison Hicca finishes playing her song.
"There, hopefully they heard it from Berk or the Isle of Night." Hicca says as she puts her flute back into its poach and then tries to burrow her way out with a rock well.
"Really, this is so hard to watch." Mildew says.
"What now?" Hicca asks as she turns to look at the old man.
"Well, I just thought Stoick raised a smarter girl than this. You'll never save your dragon by sitting in this cell, digging in the dirt. You need to go get him-and soon!" Mildew shouts to the girl.
"And how would you suggest I do that?" Hicca asks almost losing her patients with the old man.
"By giving Alvin what he wants." Mildew says.
Meanwhile in the dragon prison side of Outcast Island. The floor of the Whispering Death's cage was now aligned with iron slabs.
"We reinforced the floor with cast iron." Savage explains to Alvin as he watches the Whispering Death fail to burrow underground. "And this one only gets enough water to keep it alive." He says as they look at the Scauldron who looks back at them and then tries to spray them but the result of a mist blast.
"Girl's proven useful already." Alvin says.
"You'd be quite a sight riding into Berk on her Night Fury." Savage says.
"I would, wouldn't I? I'll have to change my name. What's worse than "the Treacherous", ey? What's wrong with the Night Fury?" Alvin asks seeing Toothless with his eyes closed.
"He won't eat or drink. He hasn't moved in hours!" The Outcast guard says.
"Well, keep him alive. If he dies, we lose our leverage with the girl." Alvin says.
Back in the cell, Hicca runs to her cell cage door and calls for the guard.
"G-guard, guard! I can't take it! Please! I'll tell Alvin whatever he wants to know. Just let me out of here." Hicca says hiding her prosthetic leg behind her as the guard begins to unlock the cell cage and once it was open Hicca swing her leg into his face causing him to stumble back towards Mildews cell.
"Ah! Ooh! Ooh." The guard says as he regains his balance and glares at the girl.
"That worked a little better in my mind." Hicca says.
"Rrrr-" The guard begins to say but Mildew uses his staff to knock him unconscious and drop the key.
"Wow. Thanks." Hicca says after placing her prosthetic foot back on and runs off.
"Wait! Take me with you." Mildew says.
"You're kidding me, right?" Hicca asks turning to look at the old man.
"No! I know how to get around this island. I can help you, Hicca. Please…let me make it up to you." Mildew says.
Hicca thinks for a second and then grunts as she comes to a decision.
"Don't make me regret this, Mildew." Hicca says as she unlocks Mildew's cell and the two leave the prison.
Meanwhile, two Outcasts are trying to feed Toothless a fish, but he is still unresponsive.
"Try a cod." One of the guards says as the other guard tries to give Toothless a cod.
"I-is it breathing?" The other guard asks.
"What, the fish?" The first guard asks.
"No, you simpleton! The dragon! Oh, never mind." The second guard says tossing the fish away. "Help me with the muzzle. We have to get it to eat. If it dies…we die." He says as they remove the muzzle from Toothless.
"Idiots." Toothless says snarling. "Take this." He says and fires a plasma blast at the floor in front of the guards.
"Aah! Aah!" The guards yell as they are thrown backwards.
Toothless then bites his way out of his restraints and glares at the guards.
"Let me through." Toothless says knowing they can't understand him.
"Ooh!" The guards say after Toothless smacks them with his tail knocking them unconscious.
"Now to find Hicca." Toothless says.
Hicca and Mildew exit the prison and hide behind some boulders.
"Okay, what's the quickest way to get to Toothless?" Hicca asks.
"Through that lava field." Mildew says pointing his staff at the lava field with wild dragons surrounding it.
"Let's go!" Hicca says about to run to it but Mildew uses his staff to block her path.
"N-wait! You do realize those are wild dragons down there?" Mildew asks.
"Yep." Hicca simply says and runs off leaving a muttering Mildew to follow.
"Wha-" Mildew is about to say as they observe an orange and dark green Deadly Nadder go up to a yellow Monstrous Nightmare and take the bone from it.
"Well, come on, then, let's go." Hicca says hopping over the boulder.
"Uh, let's not." Mildew says staying behind the boulder.
"I know what I'm doing, Mildew. Just stay behind me." Hicca says to the old man.
"Oh, perfect. A 90-pound girl's my human shield. I'm not go-aah!" Mildew yells as he slips off the boulder and lands on the ground with a thud. "Perfect!" He grips.
Toothless begins to make his way across the island by following Hicca's scent.
"That's definitely Hicca's scent. Sweet and beautiful as she is." Toothless says knowing Hicca's anywhere.
"There's the Night Fury!" An Outcast soldier shouts as he and two others aim their crossbows at Toothless.
"I don't have time for this." Toothless says and turns around to see two more Outcast soldier blocking his path. "Out of my way!" He yells and fires two plasma blasts at the Outcasts causing them to run
"Aah! Aah! Oh!" The Outcast scream as they run.
"They just don't learn." Toothless says and runs off following Hicca's scent again.
Hicca and Mildew, who is shuddering and whimpering, continue to make their way passed the dragons, who notice them but only stare. Then an orange and dark green Deadly Nadder confronts them causing Mildew to raise his staff in self-defense.
"No, Mildew! The last thing you wanna do is threaten him." Hicca says tossing his staff away.
"Me? Threaten him?" Mildew says.
"W-we have to show him he can trust us." Hicca says as she walks up to the Deadly Nadder. "It's okay. We're not here to hurt you. That's it, fella." She says placing her right hand on the dragon's snout.
"Very impressive." Mildew says but then the Deadly Nadder comes up to him and starts sniffing making Mildew whimper.
"He's just getting to know you. They can sense fear, so be relaxed." Hicca says.
"This is relaxed." Mildew says in a strained voice.
"He smells funny but you smell really nice. Heavenly even." Then Deadly Nadder says rubbing against Hicca.
"Awe. Thank you. Aren't you just a sweet boy. My names Hicca by the way." Hicca says giggling.
"You can understand me?" The Deadly Nadder asks.
"Yep any dragon I touch with my right hand I can hear their voice. You seem to be a loner, how would you like to be a part of my dragon herd. You'll have other dragons to play and wrestle with and you won't have to worry about Outcast trying to kill you. Doesn't that sound nice?" Hicca asks the dragon.
"Yeah it does sound nice. You got yourself a Deadly Nadder for your herd." The Deadly Nadder says.
"Yay, that makes eight dragons in my herd!" Hicca says excitedly.
"Great so you've got yourself another dragon." Mildew says.
"We're gonna need a way to get past all those guards at the dragon pit. I think we just found it. So will you help me, buddy?" Hicca asks her Deadly Nadder.
"You got it, Hicca." The Deadly Nadder says.
"Uh, well-" Mildew was about to say but Hicca's Deadly Nadder lick the old man. "Eech!" He whimpers.
Meanwhile the riders have catch up to Hicca's dragons and are continuing to make their way to Outcast Island.
"What's the plan?" Asher asks his chief.
"Alvin knows we'll be coming in from the sky. We have to find another way onto Outcast island." Stoick says to the group.
"Stoick." Gobber says pointing to a boat in the ocean.
"Is that-" Stoick begins to ask.
"I think it is." Gobber says as they fly to it.
Toothless has finally found his way to the Outcast prison.
"Wait." Toothless says seeing Hicca and Mildew's footprints. "These are Hicca's and that old man's too." He says but then the unconscious guard begins to wake up making Toothless growl softly causing him to run into Hicca's cell.
"A Night Fury…with my own eyes." The guard says as he closes the cage.
"Yeah and if I find out Hicca is hurt, you'll be sorry." Toothless says roaring loudly and then snorts at the imprisoned guard.
"Oh!" The guard says watching Toothless leave.
At the docks, Trader Johann has arrived, and the Outcasts are happy to see what he's got.
"Trader Johann! Trader Johann!" The Outcast yell as they run to his boat.
"Ah, Outcast! My favorite of all the islands I travel to!" Trader Johann says letting the Outcast onto his boat. "That's right. Look around. I have weapons of every imaginable description. And a little something special for my friend Alvin." He says opening a trap door to his lower deck where Stoick, Gobber, and the teen charge out taking down the Outcasts.
"Whoa! Way better than just punching him." Tuffnut says after he and his sister swung down and kicked two Outcast in the face.
"Aah!" Fishlegs yells slamming a crate onto an Outcast head and pushing him overboard making the girl laugh. "That felt really good. Is that wrong?" She asks.
"Now, where's my daughter and her dragon?" Stoick asks an Outcast soldier angrily.
Out of the water Etch dives into the ground and burrows off with Mist, Grabble, and Melt follow after their sister leaving Bones and Serpentina with the other dragons as they walk out of the water onto the island and shake themselves dry.
Back with Hicca, she gives Mildew a crash course on dragon training.
"Remember, dragon training begins and ends with trust-both of yours." Hicca explains as she grabs Mildew hand and places it on her Deadly Nadder's snout.
Mildew just mutters as he gently pets Hicca's dragon.
"Now, climb on." Hicca says.
"What?" Mildew asks as he watches Hicca easily climb on her Nadder's back.
Mildew then walks over and mumbles to himself as he struggles to get on the dragon
"That's a good boy. Nice dragon." Mildew says as he slips off and tries again this time managing to get on behind Hicca.
"Wow. Uh, Mildew on a dragon. This is gonna take some getting used to." Hicca says staring at the old man in amazement but then her Nadder starts fidgeting.
"Eh, why's it doing that? What's happening?" Mildew asks.
"It's okay, it's okay! He's just never had people on him before. Isn't that right, Spinetail?" Hicca asks her now named Nadder.
"Spinetail?" Mildew asks in confusion.
"Well he needs a name cause he's now part of my dragon herd. And his tail is full of really sharp spines." Hicca explains.
"Spinetail? I like it, Hicca." Spinetail says to his rider.
"I'm glad, buddy." Hicca says and then spits in her hand. "A dragon's hide is dry. The moisture from your hands will soothe him." She explains as she pets Spinetail's hide.
Mildew then spits a lot in his hand and rubs it into Spinetail's hide making him coo.
"Ahh." Mildew says whipping the spit off his hand.
"Okay let's get moving." Spinetail says and takes off into the air.
"Wha-oh! What's happening?" Mildew asks.
"Uh, you, uh-hey, okay. Uh, you know there's a lot of dragon here, Mildew. W-why don't you grab some of that?" Hicca asks feeling awkward with Mildew hugging her tightly.
"Huh? Oh, fine. I'm fine." Mildew says.
"Hicca, wait!" Toothless shouts but Hicca doesn't hear him.
Once Hicca and Mildew reach the dragon pit.
"That's where they have Toothless." Hicca says pointing to the dragon pit.
"All right. Hold on." Spinetail says and dives towards the pit.
Spinetail flies through the tunnel and then lands in front of the cages as Hicca slides off his back with Mildew falls off and groans while muttering.
"Toothless is gone." Hicca says sadly.
"Ah! Alvin must have moved him." Mildew says walking over but then the cages to the wild Scauldron and wild Changewing cells open. "Aah!" The old man yells in fear.
"Let's see what you can do with some real wild dragons, Hicca." Alvin says and pulls the lever next to him making the cell containing the wild Whispering Death open releasing the dragon.
"Mildew, whatever happens in the next minute, do exactly what I tell you." Hicca says.
"Why?" Mildew asks but then dives to the ground avoiding an acid blast from the wild Changewing. "Uh, I'm all ears." He says as he and Hicca climb back onto Spinetail.
"Whoa! Ah! Oh!" Hicca yells as Spinetail dodges attacks from the wild Whispering Death and wild Scauldron.
"Heh heh heh!" Alvin laughs watching closely.
The wild Whispering Death then dives underground leaving the wild Scauldron and wild Changewing by themselves.
"At least that one's gone." Mildew says.
"Well, uh, not for long, actually. Changewings shoot acid. Scauldrons fire boiling water. And Whispering Deaths hunt from underground." Hicca says making Spinetail run for the exit.
"Aah! Have you lost your mind?" Mildew asks as they are then cornered by the wild dragons and Hicca clutches her head.
"Hicca what's wrong?" Spinetail asks.
"Back-ups on the way." Hicca says smiling as the ground suddenly begins shake as it burst open to reveal a familiar Whispering Death.
"Etch!" Hicca shouts to her Whispering Death.
"Get back!" Etch yells blasting the wild Whispering Death back into its cage. "Good thing we hear the flute from the Isle of Night." She says to her rider.
The wild Scauldron begins to make its move but Mist appears from the hole and blasts water at the wild Scauldron sending it into the wall.
"Mist!" Hicca yells happy to see her Scauldron.
"Thank goodness you're not hurt." Mist says standing beside Spinetail to protect Hicca.
The wild Changewing is then frozen but turns around to see Melt appear and tail whip the dragon to the ground.
"Melt!" Hicca shouts to her Changewing.
"Glad you're alright Hicca." Melt says to his rider.
"Don't think you can get out of here, Hicca!" Alvin shouts but is then surrounded by smoke making him unable to see.
"Grabble!" Hicca yells seeing her Smothering Smokebreath.
"That smoke isn't going to stay for long. Let's get moving." Grabble says landing on Hicca's shoulder.
"Right, Spinetail, lead the way." Hicca says to her Deadly Nadder.
"You got it. Follow me, everyone." Spinetail says as he flies into the tunnel with Etch, Mist, and Melt following behind their new brother and once outside they safely land in an open field.
"You know your dragons. I'll give you that." Mildew says.
"Hicca! Oh, thank Thor you're all right." Stoick says to his daughter.
"I am, but Toothless is in trouble." Hicca says as she is surrounded by her remaining dragons.
"And Mildew is on the back of your dragon." Tuffnut says.
"I know." Hicca says.
"Weird." Tuffnut says after a minute pause making Mildew mutter.
"Oh!" Mildew yells as he is grabbed off Spinetail by Gobber.
"I should run you through right now." Gobber says angry at the old man for betraying his tribe and selling Hicca and Toothless out to the Outcasts.
"No, no, no, Gobber! Gobber, no! He helped me escape. Daddy, I owe Mildew my life." Hicca says.
"Getting weirder." Tuffnut says.
"I'll explain later. But for now meet my eighth dragon, Spinetail." Hicca says gesturing to her Deadly Nadder. "Now, I have to get to Toothless." She says.
"Or bring him to you." Asher says making Hicca's eyes widen in realization.
Hicca then walks to the edge of the cliff and brings her flute to her lips and imitates a Night Fury call with it making the call echo through the canyon.
"Hicca!" Toothless roars back and runs off towards the sound.
Once the group hears the roar back they mount their dragons and head towards the sound.
"There he is!" Hicca shouts seeing Toothless in a chasm coming to a fork in it.
"Hicca!" Toothless roars as he charges towards his rider.
"Toothle-" Hicca doesn't get to finish as Toothless tackles his rider to the ground. "Are you okay, sweetie? Oh, I am so sorry, Toothless. This was all my fault." She says but then Toothless starts growling. "Whoa. What's the matter, sweetie?" She asks.
"Hey there! Girl!" Alvin yells on top of a cliff. "You weren't gonna leave before we finished our business, were you? That's what I would expect from Stoick's little runt." He taunts.
"Oh, boy." Gobber says.
"Hicca!" Stoick yells to his daughter.
Hicca just glares at Alvin while Toothless roars and the Outcast leader chuckles sinisterly. Hicca then mounts Toothless and they fly towards the mad man.
"Hicca, no! We got what we came for!" Stoick yells.
"Do it, girl. I'm right here!" Alvin says with a sinister chuckle. "Now!" He shouts as his men throw three bolas at the girl and dragon as they tangle themselves around the pair forcing them to the ground.
"She's down!" Gobber yells.
"Dragons, everybody." Asher says but when they turn all thirteen dragons are gone.
"Uh, would love to, but as you can see-" Tuffnut says.
"Trusting dragons. This is what it gets you." Mildew says gripping.
"Wait. Look!" Asher yells as he and the others see the dragons heading towards the downed Hicca and Toothless.
"Yeah, we taught him that! We didn't teach them that, did we? I didn't think so." Tuffnut says.
The dragons then attack the Outcast soldiers causing them to scatter while Hookfang and Stormfly grab Hicca and Toothless and carry them to safety where Snotlout and Gobber cut them free.
"What happened?" Hicca asks in confusion.
"The dragons saved you on their own." Fishlegs says.
"Looks like they took their training to a whole new level." Asher says.
"We can catch up later. Right now, we need to get out of here." Stoick says as they hear the Outcasts shouting and charging towards them as the riders mount their dragons.
"Take this." Thornado shouts releasing a bellowing roar making the Outcasts scream.
Gobber was riding on Spinetail but Mildew was barely hanging on to his tail.
"Mildew!" Hicca yells.
"Ah, for the love of Thor. Mildew, get back up here." Gobber says.
Mildew grunts trying to pull himself up but can't.
"Don't you let go, old man." Gobber says.
"Tell the girl I'm sorry." Mildew says and lets go of Spinetail as he falls into the trees and lands on the ground.
"Mildew!" Hicca yells as she turns Toothless around.
"Go, Hicca. You have to leave me." Mildew says as he struggles against the Outcast holding him.
"He's right, darling. We can't help him now." Stoick says as they leave Outcast Island.
The Outcast bring Mildew to Alvin and the rest of his men.
"Huh. Well, well." Alvin says as his soldier releases the chains on Mildew
"Not bad, eh?" Mildew asks revealing he's still with the Outcasts.
"Not bad at all. Now, tell me, Mildew. What did you learn from Stoick's girl about training dragons?" Alvin asks.
"Oh, I learned plenty, Alvin. You're going to be very pleased." Mildew says but then hear a sheep baas and looks to see Fungus coming towards him. "Why, there you are, Fungus. You played your part well." He says petting his sheep.
"You both did, Mildew. Tomorrow is a new day for the Outcasts." Alvin says as the men cheer.
Back on Berk Hicca is in her house with Toothless by the fire pit.
"I'm sorry this map wasn't the real thing, sweetie." Hicca says tossing the map into the pit. "But, hey, there's nothing wrong with being one of a kind, right?" She asks.
"Nope, nothing wrong with it at all." Toothless says happily but then the front door opens to reveal Asher.
"Would you come on? Bork Week? The parade?" Asher asks.
The teens then fly through the sky with all their dragons while everyone cheers for them.
'A family isn't just something you're born into. It's also the friends who stood with you. The ones who fought by your side. You know that you'll be there for them, and they'll be there for you, for the battles that are yet to come.'
At the Outcast kill ring, Alvin attempts to train the Whispering Death…and succeeds. He, Mildew and an Outcast let out an evil laugh (Mildew coughs on his) as he has finally achieved his goal.
