Outside the nest, a shot struck at one of the spires, making it collapse and fall to the ground.
Soon more and more shots were being made and more and more spires began to fall.
Quickly Valka ran out of the cave, dodging fall pieces of ice and ran to the edge of the look out point to see Drago's armada in the lagoon and his forces of thousands on the beach.
Gobber, Hiccup and Stoick came up behind her.
"Oh no," Hiccup said seeing the number of people there were, never thinking it would be that many.
Valka tried to run off fuming only to be stopped by Stoick.
"Val? Val! It's alright," he said stopping her "It's alright. We're a team now. What do you want us to do?"
"We have to save the dragons," Valka said looking to Soick and Hiccup who both nodded.
"Aye, you got it!" Stoick said confirming as he dragged Hiccup along gently, who was still looking out to the fleet. "Come on son!"
Gasping, Hiccup blinked his eyes, making them turn back to normal, quickly as he heard Stoick call to him and him being pulled along back to the cave.
(*)(*)(*)
Valka's dragons swooped down trying to do a skyward ambush seeing how many men there were, but they only ended up being caught.
Drago stood in the line of fire, unfliching, unnerved by the cries the dragons made.
"Whatever comes," he called out to his men "Keep hitting the mountain. We need to draw the Alpha out."
Drago's armored dragon army takes wing and clashed with Valka's dragons stopping them from attacking the fleet as they continued to strike the mountain.
"Ready the traps!" Drago called out behind him.
The iron jaw traps were opened revealing the dragons with in them.

In the sky one of Valka's Grub Eater's (Raincutter) spotted Crystal Maker that was tied up within the dome.
'Don't worry, I'll rescue you,' she said as she came down.
'No!' the Crystal Maker said 'No leave me it's a...'
But he didn't get to finish as as soon as the Grub Eater was within the dome the jaws clamped shut catching some wing that didn't make it in in time.

A set of second traps began to be set up, but instead of dragon cries, Zippleback gas was spewing out, followed by an explosion and the Twins flying out.
"SURPRISE!" Tuffnut cried out.
"WHAT!" Drago screamed seeing the children still alive on top of their dragons.
o0o
They came together in the sky, Eret coming out of the last one on top of Stomfly struggling a bit.
"You really are full of surprises!" Astrid said grinning jumping off of Meatlug with Fishlegs and onto her dragon. "Let's go!"
o0o
"Dragon Riders, coming through!" Tuffnut called out as he and Ruff lead the group through the battle field.
"FIRE!" Fishlegs screamed getting Meatlug to shoot at one of the cannons.
"Hahaha!" Snotlout laughed as he set Hookfang to set the catapult alight.
"YEAH!" the Twins screamed as they had Barch (Barf/Belch) release as much gas as Barf could going along the line of traps, Astrid and Stormfly coming along the other way igniting the gas causing the ropes to burn and the dragons fly out.
"CUT THEM DOWN!" Drago yelled to his men.
Suddenly there were bolas and nets being shot at each of the riders
This giving Ruffnut an idea.
(*)(*)(*)
Timing it well, and checking Eret was watching, she slipped off Barf's neck calling out to him in hopes he would rescure her.
"Eret son of Eret!" she cried in fake fear, that turning to real fear when she worked out he wasn't coming "AAAGGGHHH..."
Then all at once she felt two separate hands holding on to hers and she wasn't falling anymore.
Looking up she saw Snotlout and Fishlegs, never before has she seen them look so handsome than as they did now, all her feeling for Eret being replaced by her two hero's.
(*)(*)(*)
Back to Astrid and Eret, they were dodging the blasts Drago's dragons were giving off the best they could.
"Up girl," Astrid called leaning in the right direction to guide the Nadder. "Lean left Eret! That's it!"
"Yeah!" Eret called out pleased they were able to do that.
"Watch out!" Astrid said making him look up to see they were about to be pummeled by a falling shard of ice, that suddenly got basted apart, getting the two riders to look up and see Hiccup, Gobber, and Stoick ontop their dragons finally coming into the fight.
(*)(*)(*)
"YEAH BABY!" Hiccup cried guiding Toothless to one of the net-slingers putting it out of action.
'That felt good,' Notche said smirking 'That will teach them for attacking Stormfly!'
o0o
On the ground Drago's men were lining and pulling out their bows and arrows.
"Take 'em down!" the leader of the squad said setting aim to the boy on top the Night Fury, not seeing the dragon coming up behind them.
"Head's up!" Gobber called out flying Grump down low, so his tail bashed into the backs of the archer's heads knocking them over like domino's making the man laugh.
o0o
Drago was watching his men get played with with these Dragon Riders a look of unbelivement on his face, until he heard a familar screech getting him to turn around and see...
"Dragon Master..."
o0o
"Welcome abord Dragon Rider," Hiccup called to Eret mockingly as he pulled Toothless up next to Stormfly, lifting up his helmet.
"Thanks, I think," Eret said a scared look on his face.
"Where have you been?" Astrid asked greatful that her dragon-boy was alright.
"Oh you know..." he began shrugging "Just catching up with mom." he said looking up getting Astrid, Eret, and Stormfly to look up to see a Stormcutter dragon with a rider on top holding up a staff and a large white dragon coming up behind her.
"THAT'S YOUR MOTHER!" Astrid asked amazed looking to Hiccup.
"Well at least now we know I got my dramatic flare from her right?" he said clapping his helmet back down and flying off.
"That's the Dragon thief," Eret said quietly getting Astrid to give a questioning 'Huh'. "And that's the ice spitting dragon," he continued nodding to the beast behind her.
"That's the dragon that did that to your fort?" Astrid asked clarifying with him getting a nod.
(*)(*)(*)
Down on the ground Drago saw the Bewilderbeast coming out.
"The Alpha," he said grinning "Now we have a fight."
[][][][]
'You shall not harm my children,' the Bewilderbeast cried out as he let out a jet of ice towards the warriors freeing them and their machines of destruction.

In the air on top of Cloudjumper, Valka was twirling her staff guiding the Nest Dragons into the battle, setting the Zipplebacks to be flaming cartwheels across the battle field burning everything, one managing to get himself caught.
[][][][]
'HELP!' the two heads cried out catching Hiccup and Noche's ears.
"Come on Toothless. Show them what you got, bud." Hiccup said mad at these men and how they were treating his brothers and sisters.
'With pleasure...' Noche said having the same feelings shooting at the trap destroying it and letting the Two Header escape, both boys hearing the cries of 'Thank You' as it flew away.
"Whoohoohoo" Hiccup called out "That a boy!"
[][][][]
Valka was trying her hardest to guide Cloudjumper safely through the battle and defend herself while overseeing the fight.
She was trying so hard that she didn't see the net that was firing at them until it was wrapped around Cloudjumper's wings making him fall to the ground, Valka only just getting off in time sliding a bit to a stop, right in front of Drago Bludvist.
