The Dragon Riders and Eret were still on Drago's massive flagship leads the flotilla, being pulled by whatever's at the other end of the enormous chains. They could hear Drago whacking the chains with his bullhook.

They on the other hand had their hands bond and their dragons were locked up somewhere. Drago's soldiers were them escorted to the stern, with spears tip being pressed into their backs.

"Could this day get any worse?" said Snotlout.

"Uh, let me see. You'll jump into freezing cold water and then die from drowning," said Tuffnut.

They were pushed onto the gang plank. Eret peers overboard at the deep, icy water below.

"Looks refreshing," said Eret. He looked at Astrid, who was glaring at him and met it with mock chivalry. "Please, ladies first."

Astrid tried to reach him, but the soldiers grabbed her.

She looked at Eret and gritted her teeth and said, "You are a steaming heap of dragon—"

"Duck…" Eret interrupted.

Astrid ducked just as Eret did a spin round-house kick knocking the two soldiers that were holding her out. He caught on of their spears and used to free himself and caught the other one and twirled them both in invitation.

"Warn the others!" One of the soldiers ordered as he and a few other soldiers charged at Eret.

"Get 'em, you son of an Eret!" said Ruffnut.

Eret knocked one of the soldiers away with a spear, just as he fired a dart from his blowpipe. The dart hit one of the other soldiers knocking him out. Eret then wacked him aside with a spear and Fishlegs jumped on him pinning him to the floor. He then tossed the spear it aside to grab the blowpipe and fired a dart at the solider that was going to raise the alarm and he drop, unconscious just shy of the Captain's Quarters.

"Okay, I love you again," said Ruffnut.

She ran passed a crestfallen Snotlout as she ran to Eret.

"Ugh, pathetic. You can still jump," Tuffnut advised.

Eret shook his head and turns to Astrid. "So? Are we going to save your dragons and get out of here or not?" he asked.

Astrid narrows her eyes, not knowing what to make of him. Eret reclaims his swords from the unconscious soldier who took them and cuts their bonds free. Astrid reclaimed her axe and the others took the unconscious soldiers weapons.

"Check every trap. They're here somewhere," said Eret.

They all ran their separate ways and each took a trap.

Astrid slips under a tarp and cranks open a metal trap. She peers between its massive iron teeth, discovering Meatlug within, bound and chained to its base as bait.

"Meatlug?" She gasped.

Eret was also carefully cranking another trap, wincing at the sound. Ruffnut was standing guard, but she was more fixed on Eret's ripping biceps.

"Anyone coming?" Eret asked.

"I don't know. You just keep doing what you're doing. Keep crankin'…" said Ruffnut dreamily.

Once the trap was open, Eret squeezes between the cocked teeth, finding Stormfly within, muzzled and chained. She looks up at Eret, calming immediately.

Eret pauses, but then approaches slowly her. He reached out his hand and placed it on her snort.

"Thank you for saving my life," said Eret. "Now let me return the favour."

Meanwhile in the Dragon Sanctuary, Valka was preparing some skewered fish with Stoick's help. She was listening to Hiccup talking about the changes on Berk and found it overwhelming.

"Mum, you'd never recognize it! Where we used to make weapons, we now build saddles, wing slings, we even fix dragon teeth! You wouldn't believe how much everything's changed!" said Hiccup.

"Yeah, we're even allies with the Outcasts," said Ragnar.

He, Heather, Gobber and Alvin were sitting next to a sleeping Skull and Toothless. They decided to stay away as much as possible from the Haddocks.

"Our son's changed Berk for the better. I think we did well with this one, Val," said Stoick.

"Thanks, Dad," said Hiccup.

Stoick then placed his hands on Valka's shoulder. This made her flinch and dropped the plate with the skewered fish on the floor.

Toothless was about to eat it, but Cloudjumper beat him to it. Toothless whimpers, and as a sign of acceptance, Cloudjumper regurgitated the fish on the floor. Toothless then began to eat some of regurgitated fish up.

"I'm… a little out of practice," said Valka as Stoick placed some more skewered fish on the plate.

"Well, y'know… I didn't marry you for your cooking," said Stoick sweetly as Hiccup to the plate to the others.

"I hope not," Gobber whispered to the other. "Her meatballs could kill more beasts than a battle axe. I've still got a few knocking around in here," he added gesturing to his belly.

"Aye, her cooking was more deadly than I ever was," said Alvin.

"That bad, huh," said Heather, who had been completely forgiven out for kidnapping her adopted parents.

"She can't be any worse than Astrid," said Ragnar looking at the skewered fish. "I still can't get the taste of her Yaknog out of my mouth."

Hiccup had to agree on Ragnar there. As much as he loved Astrid her cooking still needed work. In fact since his father was always busy on his Chiefing duties, he was the one that did the cooking.

Once Hiccup left to join his parents the four of them took a bit out of the skewered fish and they gaged. Without a second thought they dumped the fish into Grump's mouth like he was some kind of garbage pit.

"And once you move back in, with all of your dragons, Drago won't even stand a chance," said Hiccup. "Everything will be okay!"

"Slow down, son. It's a lot to take in," said Stoick looking at Valka.

Hiccup looked at his mother, who was filling a gourd with melted ice water from a nearby icicle. Looking at her he could tell that Valka was still having a hard time getting over her guilt.

"Oh, Gotcha," said Hiccup and joined the other.

Stoick looked at Valka sympathetically. He then began to whistle a tune. Valka seemed to recognise the melody, because her eyes were widened and she didn't notice that the gourd was starting to overflow.

Hiccup, Ragnar and Heather were confused, but Gobber and Alvin seemed to recognise the melody as well, because they were looking on happily.

"Oh, I love this one!" said Gobber.

"Haven't heard that in a long time," said Alvin.

Stoick continued to whistle and approached Valka and the young adults watched curiously. Valka expression was hard to read, but it seemed too looked uncomfortable. Stoick grabbed the gourd and placed it on the table Valka was leaning against.

"Remember our song, Val?" Stoick whispered.

That's when the young adults realised that the melody was about. Stoick then began to sing the first verse:

I'll swim and sail on savage seas,

with ne'er a fear of drowning.

And gladly ride the waves of life,

If you will marry me.

Valka didn't even look at him, clearly she was in wallowing in a mess of emotions.

No scorching sun,

nor freezing cold

will—

All of a sudden Gobber stood up and decided to sing along.

will stop me on my journey!

Everyone stared at him giving him there best really looks and after a short silent embarrassing pause, he sat down. "Sorry," he said and they all scowled at him.

After giving him a look that said don't do that again, Stoick turned back to Valka and continued.

If you will promise me your heart…

Stoick pauses and gripped her hand, in order to set Valka up for her part of the duet.

And love…

Stoick looked at Valka eagerly hoping that she would sing as well. However, Valka closed her eyes and showed no signs that she was going to sing. Stoick gave a big sigh. However, Valka wasn't able to contain her feeling anymore and began to sing:

And love me for eternity.

Stoick looked up and beamed at her, as if he had fallen in love with her all over again. Valka then walked to the centre of the chamber and held her forearm aloft in invitation. Stoick crosses his forearm against hers, initiating a beautiful dance to accompany the song.

My dearest one, my darling dear,

you mighty words astound me.

But I've no need of mighty deeds,

when I feel your arms around me.

Hiccup stared, wonderstruck, this was the first time he seen his parent dance with one another and it was something he wasn't going to forget. He joined with the other, who began to clap in beat with the sing.

But I would bring you rings of gold.

I'd even sing you poetry.

"Who would you?" said Valka as she danced around him.

And I would keep you from all harm,

if you'd stay here beside me.

Ragnar then grabbed Heather and pulled her to the centre of the chamber. Together they danced with Stoick and Valka.

I have no use for rings of gold.

I care not for your poetry.

I only want your hand to hold.

Stoick then spun her around and sang once again:

I only want you near me.

Gobber was tapping in time with the beat, but he could hold himself any longer. He drags Hiccup onto his feet so that he can join in the dancing, too. Alvin on the other hand continued to clap in time with the beat.

Stoick and Valka then sang at the same time:

To love and kiss, to sweetly hold.

For the dancing and the dreaming.

Through all life's sorrows and delights,

I'll keep your love inside me.

Hiccup was laughing as he watched Ragnar and Heather dancing as well and wished Astrid, who he had yet mention to his mother, was here with him. He looked as his parents spinning and laughing in each other's arms, singing. For some reason Gobber decided to join in with the singing as well:

I'll swim and sail through savage seas,

with ne'er a fear of drowning.

And gladly ride the waves of life,

if you will marry me!

They all laughed as the sound ended, but Gobber was carrying the last note as long as possible.

"I'm still going…" He sang off key. He was only stopped when Alvin elbowed him in the chest. "I'm done."

Stoick and Valka hugged each other as the others joined them looking on.

"Ah, I thought I'd have to die before we'd have that dance again," said Stoick.

"No need for drastic measures," Valka laughed.

"For you, my dear… anything," Stoick laughed. He then yet on one knee as if to propose to her again and looked into her eyes. "Will you come home, Val? Will you be my wife once again?"

Toothless looked passed and gave Valka a friendly nudge to Stoick. They laugh as Hiccup joins them. Stoick throws his arm around him.

"We can be a family!" said Stoick. "What do you say?"

Heather placed an arm around Ragnar and Alvin placed a hand on his shoulder. Ragnar looked at him and saw a smile and decide to give him a chance of being his father.

Valka watched Ragnar and Heather held each others hands and looked at Hiccup, to Toothless, to Stoick.

"Yes!" she said teary eyed.

Gobber then pulled all of them together.

"Great! I'll do the cooking!" he said making them all laugh.

"Thank Odin you didn't listen to me, son," said Stoick looking at Hiccup. "We never would have found each other."

Suddenly, Toothless, Skull, Cloudjumper and Windshear suddenly perk up, sensing something. Hiccup noticed this as did Ragnar.

"Toothless?" said Hiccup concerned.

"What's the matter, Skull?" Ragnar asked.

Dragons flew past Valka's chamber in a rush, they were racing to get outside for some reason.

"What's happening?" Hiccup asked.

He soon got his answer. The entire chamber shook as if Thor was pounding the Dragon Sanctuary himself.

Valka then rushed outside, not bothering to put her armour on, and ran outside. When she got there she discovered Drago's armada in the lagoon below and his army of thousands now landed upon the beach.

They lunched catapults and ballistaes into the icy spires, gaining entrance into the mountain's tunnels.

Hiccup, Stoick, Gobber, Heather and Alvin soon joined her and saw the army marching towards them.

"Oh, no…" said Hiccup.

"This Drago defiantly thinks big," said Ragnar.

Valka was about to run off, but Stoick grabbed her arm and looked at her. "Val! It's all right, it's all right. We're a team now," he said. "Now what do you want to do?"

She looked to her son then to her husband and said, "We have to save the dragons."

"Aye, you got it!" said Stoick.

As they left to get their dragons, Ragnar took one last look back.

"And so it begins," he said before entering the Dragon Sanctuary for what could be the last time.
