Stoick and his armada were slowly drifting through the maze-like territory of Hellheim's Gate.

Gobber leaned closer to Stoick and whispered to him, "Stoick. I've been listening to the conversations that have been going on since we left the village, and some people are wondering if there really is a plan at all, and what it might be."

"Find the nest and take it." answered Stoick.

"Ah, yes." nodded Gobber, "Good plan. Send them running. You always have-"

"Shh."

Stoick looked to Toothless, who was chained and muzzled, being held down by metal bars on a wooden platform. The dragon seemed to be making a vibration sound mixed with some sort of purring noise.

Stoick walked to the stern of the ship and took hold of the steering post.

Toothless looked up. He was in the hypnotic trance. He looked in the direction of the nest. Guiding the Berkinas into the trap that awaited them on the beach.

They eventually arrived at the nest. The vibrant noise that Toothless was making was so loud that you'd barely be able to hear yourself speaking.

Toothless was released from the trance. He realized where he was and tried to break free from his chains. Stoick looked up at the mountain. He barely noticed a tail hanging over a ledge.

The chieftain smiled, "We're here."

Stoick leapt off the ship and onto the pebbled beach. As soon as he landed, the loud vibrant purring noise ceased.

Stoick looked up confused. He quickly nodded it off and began to plan a way to get the dragons out.

Meanwhile, back at Berk, Hiccup had unlocked the cage of the Monstrous Nightmare.

She walked backwards with one hand extended towards the dragon's about.

"Why must you keep trying to trick me?" the dragon wondered.

"I'm not trying to trick or harm you." explained Hiccup, "I'm trying to help you. My father has his village headed for your home. He's going to try to kill the dragons there. But your master is going to kill them when they reach the nest. If you help me, we can save them, and I'll make sure that these people never hurt any of you again. I promise."

Snotlout cautiously kneeled down and tried to grab a spear head from the floor. Astro slapped his hand, "I wouldn't."

Once Hiccup was close enough, she gently took Snotlout's hand.

Snotlout tried to pull away. But Hiccup wouldn't let him. "Just stay calm. Dragons can sense fear. He's just as scared of you as you are of him."

Hiccup placed Snotlout's hand on the Monstrous Nightmare's about, and the dragon purred softly.

Snotlout began to chuckle.

Hiccup walked to a crate. "Where are you going?" questioned Snotlout. Hiccup reached into the crate and pulled out a rope, "You're gonna need something to help you hold on."

Snotlout tried to laugh sarcastically, "Yeah. Right. There is no way I am riding this thing. You've really lost it this time, Dragon."

"Also," Hiccup added, "please stop calling me that."

"It's not hurting you. Why would I stop?"

"I've been wanting to give you a piece of my mind ever since I met you." Hiccup explained as she drew her claws from her fingers, "And I'm not afraid to do it now."

Snotlout shut up.

"Right." continued Hiccup, "Who's next?"

The beach of the dragons' nest was soon turned into a battleground. Stoick had drawn a diagram of a line of catapults that would be launched at the mountain side. "When we crack this mountain open, all hell is gonna break loose."

He raised his voice along with his hand, "No matter how this ends, this ends today." With that, he gave the signal. The boulders were launched from the catapults. And the mountain side was broken. There was a gaping hole.

Stoick walked up to the new cave and gave to second signal. A large bundle of sticks was lit on fire and launched into the cave. As the light went through the cave, everyone could see hundreds of dragons on the walls.

Stoick let out a war cry and the Vikings began to attack the dragon's. The only things that the reptiles did was flee. They scattered in all directions, flying away from the island.

"Is that it?" questioned Gobber.

There was silence.

Then, Gobber exclaimed with joy, "We've don't it!"

The tribe began cheering. Over the cheering, Stoick barely heard a loud growling sound. He looked to the ship and noticed a very frightened Toothless trying desperately to escape.

"This isn't over!" he yelled, "Form your ranks! Hold together!"

The floors of the cave began to crack and walls began to crumble. A deafening roar emerged from the cave. Stoick finally got a good look at the beast. He turned to the warriors and yelled at them to run for their lives.

Once they were a safe distance, Gobber and Stoick turned and looked back at the dragon.

"Beard of Thor!" exclaimed Gobber, "What is that?"

"Odin help us!" breathed Stoick.

It was at this moment that Stoick realized, Hiccup was right all along. She had tried to warn him of the danger he was leadin the tribe to, but he ignored her. The Night Fury seemed calm as he lead them to the nest. But now, he was trying to escape. Stoick realized that Toothless was mind-controlled when he lead them to the nest. He then knew that Hiccup was mind-controlled when she attacked him. Everything she said was true. And he failed to see that. Now, his entire tribe was going to pay for his mistake.
