Okay, so I know what you are all thinking: DARK! Where is a chapter of 'Taken by a Devil'? Well, to that I say: I DON'T KNOW! LOOK INTO THE DARK CAVERNS OF MY BRAIN AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND!

*ahem* sorry, got a bit carried away there. But anyway, I have mega writers block so I just decided to post another chapter of this.

In the middle of the ocean, a dragon trapper ship sliced through the Arctic water.

"Keep your eyes peeled lads! With this wing we'll reach Drago by daybreak!" Eret exclaimed to his crew.

"So best we fill this ship up with dragons and quick! No need to be picky! Not if we want to keep our-" Eret was cut off by one of the crew members saying:

"Um, Eret." as he pointed at the sky, where three dragons flew towards them.

"Heads!" Eret exclaimed, "Off the port quarter! Net 'em lads!" He said as he ran up to a bola launcher before his excitement turned to shock as Hiccup, Toothless, and Stormfly flew towards the ship.

"You sure you want him to see you as full Night Fury?" Astrid asked as Hiccup nodded as they avoided some bolas before landing on the ship and Hiccup turned back into a human, getting a few gasps from the trappers.

"And here I was worried we'd show up empty handed." Eret said as he held up his short sword as Hiccup raised his hands in surrender, earning him a shocked look from Astrid.

"Good, because its your lucky day. We give up." He said as Eret lowered his sword in shock.

"That's one Night Fury, one Deadly Nadder, one Night Fury shapeshifter, and the best female warrior west of Luk Tuk. That outta make the boss happy right?" Hiccup asked as he handed Eret Astrid's axe as he walked towards a cargo hold.

"Watch your back." Toothless growled before Hiccup and Astrid climbed into the hold and closed the door.

"Hiccup, what in Thor's name are you doing?" He asked.

"Toothless, stay." Hiccup said as Toothless whined.

"Uh, the dragons don't exactly care for cramped spaces. They'll just hang out with you guys." He said as the trappers drew their weapons, making Toothless jump before snarling.

"Put those down, now." He snarled as Hiccup poked his head out of the cage.

"Yeah, you probably shouldn't do that. You know, small boat, big ocean, how is you swimming?" He asked rhetorically.

"Not good." One of the trappers admitted as Eret groaned and Hiccup lit his fire sword before handing it to Eret.

"Oh, duh, can't have armed prisoners." He said before Astrid look up at him in confusion.

"How is this a plan?" She whispered as Hiccup gestured for her to trust him.

"Just what every trapper needs. One end coats the blade in Monstrous Nightmare saliva," Hiccup explained as the trappers eyed it before flipping a switch, making green gas poor out of the end, "the other sprays Hideous Zippleback gas," he ducked under slightly, "all it takes is a spark-"

Bam!

The gas exploded as Eret angrily grabbed the blade out of one of the men's hands and threw it overboard.

"I'll get it!" Stormfly exclaimed as she dove after it.

"What game are you playing?" Eret questioned as Hiccup shrugged.

"No game. We just wanna meet Drago." He said as Stormfly dropped the blade in front of Eret, who threw it away again as Stormfly chased after it.

"Why?" He questioned.

"Because I'm going to change his mind about dragons." Hiccup said confidently as the trappers laughed as Stormfly dropped the blade at Eret's feet again excitedly as he looked at her in shock.

"Do it again." She said as Astrid crawled out of the space behind Hiccup.

"He can be really persuasive." She added, thinking about how Hiccup changed her mind even as a dragon.

"Once you earn a dragon's loyalty, there is nothing a dragon won't do for you." He said as Eret sputtered and laughed.

"You won't be changing any minds around here." He said dismissively before Hiccup shrugged.

"I can change yours." He said, gesturing to Toothless, "Right here, right now." He crawled onto Toothless's back before holding out his hand.

"Uh, may I?" He asked before being swiped off of the Night Fury's back.

"AHHHHH!" He screamed as some dragons whipped by, rocking the boat and tearing the mast.

"Dragon riders!" Eret screamed as Toothless snarled and flew up onto the watch tower.

"Hiccup! Put him-" He roared before realizing it was the Berkain riders.

"Snotlout! Put me down!" Hiccup demanded as Snotlout looked down at him and smirked.

"See how well I protect and provide." He boasted to Ruffnut, who groaned before gasping and steering Barf out of the way of a bola.

"Hey! What's with all the nets!" Tuffnut exclaimed as Ruffnut looked down at the ship.

"That was close!" She snapped before looking right at Eret, and staring at his attractive features,

"Oh my..." She trailed off as she stared at his bugling muscles.

"Me likey." She said as a bola came flying straight towards her.

"Take me." She exclaimed as Tuffnut stared at her in shock and disgust as Barf tried to shake the bola off.

"Hey! A little help?" He snapped as Hiccup grunted and tore himself from Hookfang's grasp before diving towards the ship and opening his wings up right before he landed.

"Uh, what are you guys doing here?" He yelled as Grump landed as Gobber pointed an accusing finger at him.

"We're here to rescue you!" He exclaimed.

"But I don't need to be rescued-"

"Enough!" Stoick's deep voice made as Hiccup's eyes widen as he looked at his father nervously, who had just jumped off a strange dragon and started to walk towards him.

"Well didn't you just pick the wrong ship." Eret said as he walked towards Stoick, who just gave him an annoyed glare.

"I am Eret, son of-" Eret was cut off by Stoick pushing him out of the way and right in front of Gobber, who then hit him on the head with his mace hand.

"Ow!" He yelped before falling onto the ground, Grump laying on top of him as he tried to get up.

"Get this thing off me." He wheezed.

"Anyone else?" Gobber said as the trappers backed away nervously.

"Saddle up, we're going home." Stoick commanded as Hiccup shook his head.

"No." Hiccup said defiantly.

"Of all the irresponsible-"

"Look I'm trying to save our dragons and stop a war! How is that irresponsible?!"

"Because war is what he wants son!" Stoick snapped angrily as Hiccup looked away and sighed before looking back up at his father in confusion and slight anger as Stoick looked down and sighed.

"Years ago there was a great gathering of chieftains to discuss the dragon scrourge we all faced. And into our midst came a stranger from a strange land."

In an eerily lit room, a man wrapped in a cloak of dragon skin (most likely Night Fury skin thanks to the dark color) walks in and looked around at the chiefs.

"Covered in scars and draped in a cloak of dragon skin. He carried no weapon, and spoke softly. Saying that he, Drago Bludvist, was a man of the people, devoted to freeing mankind from the tyranny of dragons. This was of course right after your mother was 'killed', so I was of course extremely interested. Anyway, he claimed that he alone could control the dragon's and that he alone could keep us safe, if we chose to bow down amd follow him-"

Out of the flash back Fishlegs, Snotlout, and the Twins all laugh at the idea.

"Stupid." Ruffnut sneered.

"Ah, good one." Tuffnut added as Stoick looked down sadly.

"Aye, we laughed too...

"Then he wrapped himself in his cloak and cried out 'See how well you do without me!"

"How well you do without me!" Drago echoed as a strange roar erupted from his throat as the roof started to burn.

"The rooftop suddenly burst into flames! And from it, armored dragons descended! Burning the hall to the ground!"

"I, was the only one to escape." He sighed as the young adults looked down sadly.

"Men who kill without reason cannot be reasoned with." Stoick said as Hiccup shook his head.

"Maybe."

"Hiccup!"

"I'm still going to try." Hiccup said with a determined look as Eret looked at him, shocked.

"This is what I'm good at, and if I can change your mind, I can change his."

"I don't really trust this Drago guy okay, I just don't want you to get hurt." Toothless said in concern as Hiccup jumped onto his back.

"If you don't come with me, I'm going by myself, so choose." He said as Toothless sighed and took off as Stoick glared at Hiccup as Toothless flew away.

"Let's go." Astrid whispered as she sneakily jumped onto Stormfly's back, but Stoick looked at her just in time.

"No! You lead the others back to Berk! I've had enough mutiny for one day." He grumbled as Astrid looked at Toothless, who was now fading away into the sky.

"Oooh, I like that." Ruffnut said as she laid down next to Eret, who tried to get away, but Grump still sat on top of him.

"Ruffnut!" Stoick snapped as Ruffnut groaned.

"Ugh! Okay!" She said before kissing her hand and slapping it on Eret's face, who recoiled and wiped it off his cheek.

Toothless flew over sheet of low hanging clouds as Hiccup stared at the horizon before screaming in frustration.

"You okay?" Toothless asked as Hiccup laid down on his back and sighed.

"Yeah. And don't worry, Drago won't even touch you. Or else he'll regret it." He snarled as Toothless growled as someone started to rise about the clouds, he or she was wearing clad armor and a haunting helmet as Hiccup sat in up annoyance.

"Ah come on dad, really?" He snapped before looking over and gasping as the person sunk back under the cloud line.

"What was that?" Toothless asked nervously.

"Keep an eye out." Hiccup warned as a dragon shot up from the clouds, it circled them, the rider on its back as Toothless used his wings to make the clouds fly up around them as the rider pointed their staff at Hiccup, who nervously looked at them as the dragon finally stopped circling him and another set of wings separated from the first pair.

"Hold on. Hold on." Hiccup said frantically.

"Gey away from us." Toothless growled.

"You're in our territory!" The other dragon snapped as Toothless's eyes turn to slits as a dragon swoops by and snatches Hiccup off his back as Toothless couldn't catch himself in time and fell through the sheet of ice under them into the murky ocean.

"TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup screamed.

"Hiccup! No!" Toothless screamed as he prepared at fly back up, until a pod of Seashockers swim towards him and send an electric pulse straight at him, making him weaken and unable to fly.

"No! Get away from me! I need to save Hiccup..." Toothless trailed off as he fainted and the water dragons take him under with them and Hiccup's helmet floated to the surface.

Back with the dragons, Hiccup struggled against the one dragon's grasp as he looked back towards where Toothless went down, waiting for him to resurface.

"Hey! We need to go back for my dragon! He's not resurfacing! Something must've happened to him!" Hiccup begged as the rider ignored him as he squinted and an icy nest appeared in the distance, it was made from the same ice spikes that destroyed the trapper outpost.

"Oh gods, oh gods." Hiccup breathed as he struggled even harder against the dragon. If this really was Drago Bludvist, he would use his powers only as a very last resort. They flew into the nest and landed in a dark room, filled to the rim with dragons.

"Hey! Uh- we have to go back for my dragon!" He begged as a dragon approached him.

"Who are you?" It questioned as he grabbed the hilt and made the gas spray around him and sparked the gas, making a circle of flame quickly flare up around him. Before lighting the blade and waving it around, making the dragons look at it in amazement as the rider follows it with their eyes, just like the dragons.

"I don't want to hurt any of you." He assured as the dragons purred and the rider stepped back in shock, catching Hiccup's attention.

"Wh-Who are you? The dragon thief?"

No answer.

"Uh, Drago Bludvist?'

The rider shakes their staff, making it rattle as a dragon flew in with Toothless.

"Toothless!" He exclaimed as Toothless shook himself off.

"It's okay, its okay, I'm here bud." He muttered as Toothless licked him affectionately.

"Thank the gods you're alright." He said before looking back up as the rider banged their staff on the ground as the dragons around the room lit up fire in their mouths, making the room even eerier.

"Don't step a foot closer." Toothless warned as he wrapped his tail around Hiccup's feet defensively before the rider shook their fingers in a strange fashion as he fainted, Hiccup looking at his friend in shock before leaning away slowly as the rider reach for his face, they then noticed the small scar on his chin and backed away before gasping as Toothless began to wake back up.

"Huh? Wait a minute." He muttered as he looked around.

"Hiccup?" The rider asked quietly as Hiccup struggled to find the right words.

"S-Should I know you?" He asked as the rider took of their mask to reveal a middle-aged woman with draconic teal blue eyes, which had pupils which were slits. Toothless's jaw hung open at the sight.

"This is the-"

"No, you were only a babe..." The woman trailed off before looking up at Hiccup sadly.

"Oh my gods! Va-"

"But a mother never forgets." The woman sighed as Hiccup's eyes widened, words failed him now. This was his mother. The woman he was searching for for the last 5 years, was standing right in front of him.
