In the midnight air Hiccup was calling out to the warrior in distress.
"HEY YOU LEFT MY DRAGON BACK THERE!" he called this having no effect
"HE CAN'T FLY ON HIS OWN! HE'LL DROWN!" this also having no effect.
Hiccup thought about trying to ask the dragons where they were taking him in Dragonese, but he didn't know how good the warrior's hearing is or if they were good or bad.
Just then a large spire of the same kind of ice, larger than the one he found earlier came into view and the dragons were flying right towards it.
After being flown though the stone caves Hiccup was dropped off in the middle of a circle of unknown dragons all looking up to see who this boy was, all getting a odd feeling from him.
"Hey... We have to head back for my dragon!" he called looking for the warrior his eyes turning to the hissing advancing dragons in front of him.

'Who are you boy? Why do you feel different to how our Carer feels although you're what she is?' the dragon asked growling that he didn't understand.
Slowly, so not to freak any of the dragons out or show he understood in case their 'Carer' was watching, Hiccup reached for his sword and ignited it, slowly spinning it around his head, amazing the dragons and getting them to roll over with it.
Just then the dragons behind him began advancing asking how a Human boy could breath a dragons fire.
Sheathing the sword, Hiccup clicked out the old canister of Zippleback Gas and slipped in a new one. Flipping the sword over, he made a circle of gas and lit it, shocking the dragons and making them back off a bit whispers going around.
'This boy can breath two dragons fire.' 'A Flame Skin AND a Two Header.' 'But he does not smell like either of them...' 'He smells like a Night Fury.'
They all watch as the boy his paw out stretched out slowly made his way towards a Crystal-Maker (Snafflefang) who made no aggressive move and sniffed it.

The warrior was amazed at how well and gentle this boy was handling her dragons.
Deciding to step in, she came down off her ledge bringing the boy's attention to her.
"Who are you?" he asked carefully "The Dragon Thief? Er... Drago Budvist..."
'So this boy didn't buy that Night Fury from that monster.' the warrior thought.
"Do you even understand what I'm saying?" he said looking like he was trying to block out the hissing and rattling that was being echoed around the cave.
Quickly the warrior banged her staff to the floor calling for peace and the Snafflefang that was holding the Night Fury to bring him forth.
"Toothless!" the boy cried running up to his dragon and checking him over. "It's ok it's ok it's ok," he said.

'Hiccup!' the Noche said happy 'I was so worried! I thought I'd never see you again!'
"I'm glad to see you too, bud" Hiccup said looking into Noche's eyes smiling "You really had me worried there."
Just as the boys were catching up with each other the warrior looked to one of their Snafflefangs and shook their staff making a few clicking sounds both of them catching it and turned to see all the dragons in the cave lighting up their maws with fire.
Slowly the warrior began to step forward making Toothless curl around his baby brother protectively.
'You want him you'll have to go through me! So stay away!' he growled warning.
Slowly the warrior dropped their staff and shield and got on all fours so they were eye level with Noche making their way closer to Hiccup.
'DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?!' Noche said anger rising putting all his focus to the warriors outstretched hand 'I said to...' but he was cut off as he some how was flipped over and put to sleep just by this person twisting their wrist.

'Well thanks bud...' Hiccup thought after he got over the shock that Toothless was downed so easily, jumping when the warrior came even closer to him trying to get away, but was stopped by a wall.
Just then the warrior spotted a scar that was on the boys chin.
"Hiccup?" a women's voice asked as she backed down and took off her mask. "Can it be? After all these years? How is this possible?" she asked.
"Uh... Should I... Should I know you?" Hiccup asked confused, sure he has never met this women before.
"No. You were only a babe," she said looking sadly up at him. "But a mother never forgets."
That brought a new line of shock to Hiccup as he heard that.
"Shh..." Valka said smiling after looking over her shoulder. "Come..."
With that she ran off leaving Hiccup there for a few seconds trying to wake up Toothless.

'Five more heartbeats(minutes) mama...' Toothless said still half a sleep.
"Toothless if you don't wake up now there will be no evening flights for a week." Hiccup said firmly trying to roll the Night Fury over.
With that the dragon was wide awake and together the brothers ran after who was said to be Hiccups human mother.
"Ok wait just a minute!" he called out loving his Dragon Sense meaning he didn't bump into anything in the dark tunnels.
"This way!" Valka said still rushing ahead.
"Come back here!" Hiccup replied following.
"Come."
"You can't just say something like that... and run off!" he said crawling over stones "You're my Mother? I mean, what the... Do you... Do you grasp how insane it sounds?"
'Why what's so bad about it?' Toothless asked confused.
"Come quickly," she said, acting just like Stoick in the 'non-listening catagory'.
"I have questions!" Hiccup said not quite tall enough to get over the last obstetrical by himself, thanking Toothless in Dragonese quietly.
"Where have you been all this time? What have you been doing?"
Finally both boys were in the last tunnel and were heading for the light.
"But they said you were dead! Everyone thinks you were eaten by..."
His sentence was cut off as he stepped into the light and saw a magnificent space before him with vast amounts of dragons loads of which Hiccup couldn't place, flying around stone towers and bathing in hot springs.
Walking out a bit, Hiccup spotted a few baby Gronkles playing together turning to see him as they passed.
Just then a Timberjack came flying up shocking Hiccup a bit eyes wide at seeing it look so happy.
After a few calls of greeting from the dragons that were flying around the towers Toothless turned and saw Valka and her dragon hanging up on the wall, motioning it to Hiccup.
"This is where you've been... for 20 years?" Hiccup asked carefully getting a nod.
'Er... Hiccup...' Toothless said looking at the new dragon coming towards him.
"You've been rescuing them." he said ignoring the curios dragons coming to inspect Toothless obviously never seeing a Night Fury before. "Unbelievable."
'Hiccup!'
"You're not upset?" Valka asked surprised.
"What? No." Hiccup said still looking up at her "I... I don't know. It's a bit's a bit much to get my head around to be frank."
'Thank you for nothing, you stupid Brother,' Toothless said walking to the edge of the cliff ignoring the new dragon wondering if he could make it to one of the cliffs, what he said catching in the Stormcutter's ears.
"It's not everyday you find out your mother is some crazy, feral, vigilante dragon lady." Hiccup said doing the hand thing he said he never does.
'How about the fact that your son was born to the two alpha's of the Night Fury's, Hiccup?' Toothless mumbled rolling his eyes as more dragons came to 'welcome him'.
"Oh... well. At least I'm not boring, right?" Valka said sliding down her dragon's wings to safely get to her son.
"Well I suppose there is that... one specific thing," Hiccup said welcoming Snafflefang stroking it's muzzle gently.
"Do... Do you like it?" Valka asked.
"I don't have the words," Hiccup said looking around when a cry of 'HICCUP!' brought him back to Toothless seeing him surrounded by Valka's dragons all getting just a little too close to the Night Fury's taste.
Laughing at her son's dragons reaction to a Raincutter's hello she turned to Hiccup and asked "Can... can I?" gesturing to Toothless getting a nod.

"Oh he's beautiful." she said holding out the back of her hand for the dragon to sniff. "Ineradicable." she said getting to the floor Noche's mood changing now he was getting all the attention.
"He might very well be the last of his kind."
Hiccup could help but smirk at that knowing full well that Noche wasn't, the last. And then frowned as to the wonder why Nyx and Artemis or anyone else didn't leave the Isle of Night.
"And look," Valka said spotting the fins on Noche's chin "He's your age."
'He knew that already Queen,' Noche said smirking getting up. (Valka used to be the Cheiftess of the Isle of Berk... the Queen of the Island as it were, remember)
"No wonder you get along so well." Valka continued.
'It also helps that he's my twin brother,' Noche said nodding his head and grinning a gummy grin in glee.
"And retractable teeth," Valka said amazed. "How did you manage to...?"
"I found him in the woods." Hiccup said rubbing the back of his neck nervous on what she'll say, or more over how the dragons will react to the story. "He was... Shot down and wounded."
'Hey, if I wasn't then we'd never of found each other and those idiots back home would still treat you like dirt and be fighting us.' Noche said getting up and going over to Hiccup speaking the truth while trying to joke about it.

Getting a firm look on her face Valka began to show her son a few dragons around them.
"This Snafflefang lost one of his legs to one of Drago Bludvist's iron traps." she said pointing to the dragon who welcomed Hiccup.
"This Raincutter had her wing sliced by razor netting." she continues gently lifting the dragon's wing up with her staff the sight shocking Hiccup and Toothless.
"And this... Poor Hubblegrunt was blinded by a tree snare. And then left to die alone and scared." she finished slowly reaching out to the Hobblegrunt it's eyes clouded over.
"And what of this?" she asked pointing to Toothless' prosthetic tail fin. "Did Drago or his trappers do this too?"
"Er...Yeah..." Hiccup began to laugh nervously looking around him at how many dragons there were "Crazy thing is... I'm actually the one who shot him down."
'WHAT!' all the dragons around them cried out in shock.
"Hey it's ok though." Hiccup said as if not hearing them but felt that he needed to say this to calm them down. "He got me back, right bud? You couldn't save all of me. And you just had to make it even. So... Peg leg." that seemingly got the dragons to calm down a bit, laughing at how funny the Carer's son was.
Laughing Toothless threw Hiccup into the saddle enjoying the scratching his brother was giving him, eyes closed enjoying the moment.
"What did your father think of your Night Fury friend?" Valka asked getting down to play with Toothless a bit more.
"He didn't take it all that well." Hiccup said slowly hearing a 'Just like him' coming from his mum. "But then... he changed. They all did."
That got her attention.
"Pretty soon everyone back home had dragons of their own.
"If only it were possible." Valka said shaking her head.
"No really."
"Believe me I tried, as well, but people are not capable of change Hiccup." she said picking up her staff and standing up "Some of us... were just born different."
