On the beach on the nest, Vikings were sharpening wooden staffs and placing them in the ground, checking the catapults were rigged up right, loading said catapults with boulders and preparing to fight.
"When we crack this mountain open," Stoick said drawing a plan in the sand to show his warriors what to do "All Hel is going to break loose."
"In my undies," Gobber commented as a bit of fun "Good thing I brought extras."
Stoick stood up and gave Paula back her sword ignoring his friends comment.
"No matter how this ends," Stoick called to his people "It ends today."
Pausing for effect Stoick held up his hand and for a few seconds there was silence. Then he gave the signal and those working the catapults released them and fired rocks towards the mountain.
At last the rock gave way and an entrance was formed.
Stoick being the Chief walked up to it, shield on his arm, hammer in his hand.
Once again there was silence.
Then he gave the signal for the fire-boulder to be released and it flew into the cave revealing thousands of dragons clinging to the walls.
"AAAGGGHHH!" Stoick let out a war cry and ran in swinging his hammer and shield around making the flock scared and flew away out the hole in the side of their nest and into the skies and away from here.
For none of them wanted to be around, when the Queen came out to see what was disturbing her (ahem...) beauty sleep.

As the dragons flew away Noche watch with a apologetic face, his ears back trying not to hear all the worried calls.
"Is that it?" the blonde one said looking into the sky, then shrugging cried "We've done it!"
But then Noche began to hear the Seadragons' calls again.
'You Night Fury have just lost me my whole colony!' she said in an very unhappy voice 'Just for that... I think I should show myself to these miserable Humans.'
'You shall not touch them!' Noche said fighting against the chains again.

"This isn't over!" Stoick cried out seeing the Night Fury yanking on it's chains "Form your ranks. Hold together!" he said turning back to the entrance as the earth began to shake and a rumbling sound was heard.
Up the side of the mountain cracks began to form then a loud powerful roar sounded the wind blowing into everyone's faces.
"GET CLEAR!" Stoick said jumping down with the others who were near the entrance.
Scared everyone followed Stoick's order and got as far away from the mountain as possible.
Then the Seadragons' nose burst out the hole and the rock around it fell making the hole even bigger revealing herself to these pitiful Humans.
"Beard of Thor..." Gobber said aghast backing up next to Stoick "What IS that?"
"Odin help us," Stoick said eyes wide and fixed on the beast remembering what Hiccup said about it.
***A Dragon Soul***
In the sky further away from the Island the teenagers and their dragons had just had to maneuver themselves to avoid crashing into the fleeing dragons from the nest.
"Oh no..." Hiccup said "Come on guys! Faster!" he said leaning forward on the Nadder feeling Astrid do the same and zoomed off to the nest leading the Nadder just as well as he does Toothless - As if they were one. In the lead telling the others where to go and when to avoid things that could not be seen until you were about to crash into them.
Just then a roar reached their ears making the dragons stop for a bit and Hiccup to cry out a bit and cover his ears until it stopped.
"Hiccup? HICCUP!" Astrid's cry brought him back making him turn to her and the others all looking at him confused and scared.
Not knowing what was going on, but knowing now was definitely NOT the time to try and work it out, Hiccup just nudged the Nadder's sides again and took off again racing to the island.
***A Dragon Soul***
"CATAPULTS!" Stoick cried to his men.
"Fire!" someone screamed as the line of catapults fired their ammo to the beast.
It roared again and after a boulder (well a pebble to her) attacked it's nose, the beast lunged to the catapult it came from and destroyed it.
"GET TO THE SHIPS!" Boris cried running to the boats a few going along with him.
"No. NO!" Stoick said trying to stop everyone from reaching them.
The beast then pulled back and began to shoot fire at the boats setting all of them alight, and those on them to have to jump overboard to avoid the flames.

On the lead boat, Noche looked all around him and tried to escape but was still chained down.
'HELP!' he cried eyes stilted with fear.

"Smart that one," Gobber said following Stoick.
"I was a fool," Stoick said once again remembering what Hiccup said about this thing. Then coming up to Spitlout said "Lead the men to the far side of the island. Gobber. Go with the men."
"I think I'll stay," Goober said still following his friend as Spitelout began to lead everyone else to safety. "Just in case you're thinking of doing something crazy."
"I can buy 'em a few minutes if I give that thing something to hunt," Stoick said turning to his friend.
"Then I can double that time," Gobber said nodding clamping his hand with Stoick's.
"Here!" Stoick said running forward.
"Oh no. Here!" Gobber said charging forward as well.
Reaching a staff, Stoick pulled it out and threw it to the beast eye getting a direct hit.

Turning her head to see what attacked it, the Queen turned to the Red One when a cry reached her ears.
"COME ON!" it was the Blonde One "FIGHT ME!" it cried.
"NO ME!" the Red One said.

Getting ready to fire at both men, the beast pulled back and was about to fire when a blast came to the back of it's head.
"Ruff, Tuff watch your backs," Hiccup called as the teenagers came into view of everyone on the island "Move Fishlegs."
On the ground Stoick was staring up in awe to the boy and what he was seeing.
"LOOK AT US WE'RE ON DRAGONS!" Tuffnut cried out on his head of the Zippleback. "WE'RE ON DRAGONS ALL OF US!"
"Every bit of boar-headed-stubborn-Viking you ever were," Gobber said coming up to Stoick while watching the teenagers, getting a silent nod from his friend.
"Fishlegs break it down," Hiccup ordered.
"Ok. Heavenly armored skull and tail made for bashing and crushing. Stay clear of both." Fishlegs said using his knowledge to help "Small eyes, large nostrils. Relies on hearing and smell."
"OK. Lout, Legs. Hang in it's blind spot. Make some noise, keep it confused," Hiccup ordered "Ruff, Tuff find out if it has a shot limit. Make it mad."
"That's my specialty," Ruffnut said proudly.
"Since when?" Tuffnut asked "Everyone knows I'm more irritating! See? Lalalalalalala..." he said turning upside down so he was in his sisters face.
"Just do what I told you," Hiccup said pleadingly "I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Don't worry we got it covered," Snotlout said leading the others to the beast.
"Troll!" "Butt elf!" "Bride-of-Grendel!" the twins said giving insults flying away and only just avoiding it's blast.
Back with Fishlegs and Snotlout, who were banging their hammers on their shields to confuse it the beast reviled it had two more pairs of eyes.
"Um... This thing doesn't have a blind spot."

Hiccup was too busy to pay attention to any of that though he was looking for his friend amongst the burning ships when a cry sounded from one of them.
"There," Hiccup said turning the Nadder towards the ship.
Slowly Hiccup changed places with Astrid who got in as close as she could to the ship and Hiccup jumped down.
"Go help the others," Hiccup said getting a nod from both girl and dragon.
"Ok hold on hold on," he said to his friend pulling off the belt clamping his mouth shut.
Then got to work unpegging the chain holders using all his might to release him.
Noche was worried he tried to stay still to give his brother room to move and hopefully free him, but he knew that Hiccup was too weak to do it.
'Hiccup just go,' he said wining 'Leave me.'
"Oh no buddy there is no way I'm leaving you ever again." Hiccup said getting one peg out and turning to the other.
Once again Noche was confused as to how Hiccup managed to know what he was saying, even though he grew up not learning the language of the Dragons.
But that was something for later.
Hiccup had just unpegged the peg in the right and was about to go for the collar when the beasts tail smashed into the ships mast making it fall and touching Hiccup's skin which for some reason felt no pain to it nearly being set alight.
Suddenly one of the things feet came down and stamped onto the boat sinking it, and since Toothless was still chained up he sank with it.
Seeing his friend sinking to the sea bed, Hiccup swam towards him and once again tried to undo the collar.
Noche knew that Hiccup couldn't hold his breath as long as he could, but also knew that unless something pulled the boy away nothing will get him to leave until he was safe.
But for that, he needed to be free, and to be free he needed the neck-ring to come off. And Hiccup was too weak to do that.
Just then Noche felt Hiccup pulling on the ring less and less and looked to see what the problem was.
[][][][][][]
Hiccup was loosing too much air and his head was getting a bit light.
Suddenly he felt himself being pulled back and the cold air on his face again.
"Dad?" he asked coughing seeing his father dive back into the sea.
[][][][][][]
Noche screamed out his brother's name afraid that something was going to happen to him.
'Well at least he'll be safe...ish and be able to live,' Noche said closing his eyes thinking of all the great times they had together.
Then he felt something coming towards him.
Opening his eye he saw it was the King, the same King who tried to hurt him and Hiccup in the stone-ring. The same King who called him a Devil as they set off from Berk. The same King who...
Was unclipping the neck-ring.
Rushing forward, Noche grabbed hold of the King and burst out of the water, setting him down and then landing himself.
'Well? You coming?' he asked his brother gesturing to the Seadragonus.
"You got it bud," Hiccup said rushing forward and clipping himself in.
Just before they were about to take off, the King stopped them.
"Hiccup," he said catching Hiccups arm "I'm sorry. For... For everything."
"Yeah me too," Hiccup said smiling.
"You don't have to go up there," the King said pointing to the Seadragonus.
"We're Vikings," Hiccup said in his taunting voice which Noche does not understand why he does. "It's an occupational hazard."
"I am proud, to call you my son." the King said.
'Wait what?' Noche asked in his head 'Hiccup was raised by the King how can that work their total opposites. Mama and Papa must of had their heads on backwards or something.'
"Thanks dad," Hiccup said looking to Noche and taking off to the skies.
AN: So there you go one step closer to getting to the end so you can stop nagging me please...
