Time Period: Race to Edge after the season finale assuming all is well dandy.

The day continued on without much a problem, apparently once you get on a young Hiccup's good side he isn't much of a problem. Though Astrid thought it was strange how Hiccup kept silent as her Hiccup is more talkative than this and the awkward silence was killing her, but what could she say? Her ocean eyes then drifted to the prosthetic leg. Strange. He never freaked out about it's probably nothing, but someone had the same thought.

"So Hiccup? How'd you lose your leg?" asked Snotlout curious that Hiccup never complained, screamed, or freaked out about his missing leg.

Everyone paused as Hiccup thought about it before he answered, "I'm not sure. Never really thought about."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I guess I just got used to it," answered Hiccup honestly. Though that raised the question… how? This Hiccup lost his leg just today while the Hiccup they knew had it for around three years. Maybe. Just maybe this was a sign that Hiccup hasn't forgotten everything in the past ten years. A beacon of hope that the Hiccup they know is still in there, so no one corrected his answer.

The night came sooner than anyone thought as the Riders setted up another campsite with their sleeping bags up and ready. Though as most of the Riders drifted off to sleep two were still awake. Though Hiccup rubbed his eyes as he watched Astrid stare at the fire with a mixture of annoyance and determination so he asked in a tired voice, "Um Astrid. Why are you still awake?"

Astrid took her eyes off the fire as she thought Hiccup fell asleep before anyone else as she turned and asked in a teasing voice, "What about you Dragon Boy? You're still up."

Hiccup blushed embarrassedly as he hid his freckled face with Toothless' wing, who was already asleep, as he answered, "Um…. it's uh silly."

"Well, I'm wide awake so go ahead," replied Astrid as she turned her full attention to him.

"I just… I just feel like something is watching us," confessed Hiccup as his forest green eyes darted across the site.

"Oh. Well I'm sure it's nothing," replied Astrid though she knew it was lie. Someone or something has been moving their campsites or changing the path because of that ocean incident from earlier.

"Are you sure?" asked Hiccup a little nervous.

"Of course. Now try get some sleep," reassured Astrid as she leaned back on her sleeping bag to convince Hiccup to sleep soon.

Hiccup nodded as he quickly fell asleep, while Astrid stared at the night sky as her eyes began to close.

Weird. She didn't feel tired. Before she could question it or try to stay awake her eyes closed on their own as she fell asleep just as quick as Hiccup.

The moon was high when a gust of wind blew out the campfire. Hiccup felt the wind against him as he rubbed his eyes to try wake him up. Hiccup then saw something in the distance as he walked in that direction. Though soon enough he slipped on a steep ledge as he rolled down as he landed at... the beach?

"How'd we get here?" asked Hiccup to himself as he looked up at the ledge he just slipped off. "And where did that come from?"

He walked over to it as he grabbed part of the ledge it was freshly dugged up. Hiccup dusted the dirt off confused on how was the island changing so drastically.

He then heard a rustle in the bush as he asked with a relieved tone, "Toothless? Is that you?"

Suddenly a large shadow casted over him. The shadow had a long neck with sharp teeth as the head had a sharp dorsal fin and large wings as it loomed over the young Hiccup as he muttered, "Definitely not Toothless."

With those words uttered Hiccup screamed at the top of lungs like bloody murder with fear laced in his voice as it echoed through the whole island.

As the scream echoed all the Riders and dragons woke up with worry as Fishlegs asked fearfully, "What was that?"

"I don't know, but I don't like it! Let's get outta here!" said Snotlout as he packed his supplies with haste as he mounted on Hookfang.

The other riders soon followed his lead but Astrid turned her attention to Toothless as he looked panicked as he walked in circles and looked around frantically as she looked around understanding his worry as she asked to the others in horror, "Where's Hiccup?"

In those two words everyone froze as their deaged leader was nowhere to be seen. Astrid's eyes widen in fear that Hiccup got hurt or worse she then ordered, "We have to fine him. We have to-AH!"

Astrid nearly fell off the ledge if Stormfly didn't quickly grab the hem of her skirt and pull her up. Astrid petted Stormfly's nose as she quietly thanked her before she saw the ledge then the ocean at the bottom as she turned to the other riders as she asked loudly, "Now do you believe that we're moving spots!? This ledge wasn't even here!"

"This doesn't make any sense! Hiccup turning young! Moving spots while we sleep! What in Thor's name kind of island are we on!" yelled Snotlout as he freaked out that all this was happening.

Astrid was about to yell a command before Tuffnut and Ruffnut screamed as Toothless shot a plasma blast at them so that command died down into a question of concern for the Night Fury as she asked gently as possible, "Toothless?"

Fear overcame Astrid as Toothless' normal dilated eyes were nothing but narrow slits as he roared at them as if…. as if he didn't recognize them. She tried to walk closer to the young dragon but another shot was aimed at her feet. She then let out a small whisper, "Oh no. Toothless is forgetting."

Soon the young Night Fury, despite his size, let out a screech that gave his nickname of the 'Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself'. They all watched in horror as the young Night Fury fled into the forest.

"We have to follow him Hiccup will be heartbroken if we lost Toothless," suggested Fishlegs as he pointed to the direction.

"Uh actually I think we should worry about ourselves," suggested Tuffnut as him and Ruffnut looked up at something in fear.

The other riders looked in their direction as another shadow just as large as the one from earlier loomed over their camp. This shadow was different. The shadow only showed its mighty wings and and spikes that covered its body.

"Every Rider for themselves!" screamed Snotlout as each rider and dragon ran for in different directions.

A.N: Cliffhanger!... It had to happen eventually
