Chapter 75: Roll with the Bones
On an unknown island, Viggo was overseeing the Flyers loading a dragon onto their ship. Its shadow was over him, looking like a living skeleton as it tried to break free.
Krogan then landed next to him, "You're sure this plan will work?" He asked skeptically.
"Rest assured Krogan, now that we know where to find the Defenders of the Wing's Dragon Eye Lens, all we must do is find it," Viggo told him, "And our good friend here will lead us straight to our prize."
Krogan looked unconvinced though, "And how will this dragon know where the resting place is?" He asked.
"Oh it won't be the lens he's interested in, but what he wants and we want are so close to each other, it won't be an issue." Viggo said as the mysterious dragon was loaded onto the ship.
"It had better, my Master doesn't not tolerate failure." Krogan warned him.
Viggo raised a hand, "I assure you, this man will have his dragon," he promised as Krogan humphed and flew off. Viggo then smirked, "Only after I cut you down and sell it to myself."

Meanwhile on Defenders of the Wing Island, the Riders, Defenders and Beserkers were planning for Mala and Dagur's wedding.
Though most of the riders had taken a break to engage in some small talk, "Wait so, Bucket's bucket can predict when a storm is coming?" Valerie asked Raeda as they sat with Henry, Hicca and Astrid with a snort, "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard!" She laughed.
"Oh, trust us. That's what Dad and Gobber thought, but Gothi said otherwise." Hicca told her with a smirk.
"Yeah and that wasn't even the first time. Bucket's bucket once predicted the Blizzards of Olaf." Raeda explained while shuddering a bit.
"And wow was it bad." Astrid said with a chuckle, drinking yaknog, "It took us a week just to dig Mildew out of his hut." She recalled.
"And the rest of our lives to wonder why we even bothered." Raeda added dully, wondering why they didn't let the traitorous old man freeze to death.
"Trust me. I found it hard to believe at first, but once every Viking on Berk told me about it and the Chief and the Riders themselves believed it. Even Mildew himself." Henry said with his arms crossed with a chuckle.
Valerie looked at them in shock with wide eyes. "Okay. Whoa." She breathed. "You Riders really had it rough." She commented.
"Not as rough as when they had to get the Venom of Scauldron," Henry told her before smirking, "Luckily, Mildew was happy to carry it home for them, in his butt that is."
Astrid let out a sigh, "I will never get tired of the sound of Mildew's cries of agony." She said,
"You're not the only one, Astrid. It's also the sound our dragons enjoy hearing." Raeda added with a smirk.
"Just be glad you guys didn't see the venom extraction from Mildew own bare behind." Hicca said as she gave a shudder. "That moment still haunts me, but as a Healer, you gotta know how to treat others, even the most disturbing ones." She added.
"Well you know what haunts my dreams?" Henry asked before they heard giggling and cooing and the Grimborn boy shivers, "That!" He pointed to Dagur and Mala, who are close to each other.
"You are the Mala-verous woman in or out of the Archipelago." Dagur told Mala lovingly.
"And you are the Dagur-verous man in or out as well." Mala told Dagur lovingly as well.
Henry shuddered as he gagged a bit. "Seriously. Even when those two aren't married yet, they act as a married couple all the same like they've known each other for years." He said while covering his eyes.
"Well, you gotta admit, it is cute in its own weird way." Raeda chuckled before glancing at the two lovebirds, "A really, weird way."
Valerie groaned as she put her hands to her ears, "I swear, if I have to sit through that talk, one more time, I'm gonna dunk my head between Hookfang's claws just to get it out of my brain!" She exclaimed.
Snotlout then appeared next to her, "Already done that, but would advise against it." He said with a simple smile.
Hiccup, Fishlegs, the Thorston twins and Heather joined Snotlout as they walked up towards the others. "And as weird as it is, I am really proud of my brother finally being engaged." Heather said while looking at her brother proudfully.
"Yeah, it's pretty obvious he's fallen hard for her." Fishlegs said while looking at the two with a smile.
Hiccup then made a wincing smile, "Of course, if Mala were to call off the wedding, it'll just make the heart break even harder for him." He said.
"Well, I don't see that happening," Hicca assured, "Of course if on the off chance it does…"
Heather then gave a menacing glare and pulled out her ax, "I'll split that Heartbreaking she-beast in two!" She roared before striking a nearby chair in half in one strike.
The Dragon Riders look at Heather in surprise as they stare at her frighteningly. Heather blinked, realizing what she was doing and pulled her ax back up, "Uh, Sorry. Old habits die hard." Heather apologized with an embarrassed smile.
"I think you should find a new way to handle that kind of rage, Heather. Because if you even tried that, that could break our alliance and start a war." Hiccup advice uncertainty.
Heather gave an embarrassed chuckle. "Yeah. Sorry. Even after all this time, I still have some old habits to work out." She said.
Henry then sighed, "I think we should go over where we stand in Finding the King of Dragons." He said before counting on his fingers, "So far, we have five of seven lenses we need."
"And Krogan got away with one and we don't know how many he, Viggo and Johann have." Hicca added in concern. "It could be three? Less? Maybe four? We don't know for sure." She pointed out.
"And that's why we need to win this race." Raeda spoke next. "We have five of the seven lenses. We just need two more to find the King of Dragons." She confidently said.
"Well from what Krogan said, one of them may be on Berk, but they couldn't find it." Hiccup remembered when the Hunters briefly took over Berk, "Meaning if there is one there, we have the advantage."
Hicca nodded, "Right, but that one can wait, because I just had a thought." She said.
"Well let's hear it." Astrid told her.
"Well, if there's a lens on Berk, and there was one on Wing Maiden Island," Hicca reminded them, "It's possible there might be a lens here too."
The Riders all look at each other with thoughtful looks. "Well, from what I've seen, most of these lenses are found on colonized islands like the one the Wingmaidens gave us." Valerie spoke with a hang on her chin.
"And the Defenders definitely have a love for dragons," Henry recalled, "Of course, I would've known if there was a Dragon Eye lens here, considering I practically grew up on this island." He added.
The other riders hummed in thought, "I do believe we have hit a, quote unquote, proverbial barricade on our merry path to victory of Traitor Johann." Tuffnut said.
"And our quest to find and protect the King of Dragons, to keep it out of the wrong hands." Ruffnut spoke next.
"Okay, shut up you two." Snotlout said in annoyance.
"Look gang, maybe there might be a chance the Defenders have a lens here and just don't know it." Hiccup called out as they turned to him, "We should ask Mala just to be sure."
"Um, show of hands, who wishes to get in the middle of that shipwreck." Snotlout asked uneasily, pointing to Mala and Dagur.
Mala and Dagur are now kissing each other passionately as the Riders cringed a bit, "Yeah, not it!" Henry said immediately.
"Not it!" Everyone else but Heather said.
Heather went wide eyes as she looked at her friends, who were smiling innocently at her as she threw her head back. "Oh man." She groaned.
"Hey, he's your brother." Hicca recalled with a smirk.
Heather then gave a dull look, "All of sudden, I wish I killed him." She said before walking over to the couple while the Riders tried to keep their laughter down.
Nearby, leaning on a post, was a boy around the Riders age with dark hair as he looked at them with an unimpressed look, "Tch, dragons." He muttered, before looking away.
(Linebreak)
Once Heather was able to get Dagur and Mala off of each other, Mala took them to the grand hall with a map of the island on a table, "After you told me of these lenses, my warriors have scouted the island for any traces of one potentially hidden here." She explained.
"And, were there any clues or hints on where it is, sis?" Henry asked while looking at the map.
"So far, no luck, brother." Mala answered before giving a small smile. "But we did come across a secret location that we haven't known about until now." She said while pointing at a spot on the map. "And it is found at the far side of the island, the forbidden side." She added with a serious look.
Henry's eyes widened in realization, "The Resting Site." He gasped.
"The Resting what?" Snotlout asked in confusion.
"Uh, Henry, can either you or Mala give us some details about this site?" Hicca asked her boyfriend in curiosity.
"When I grew up here, Mala's mother, the former queen at the time, told us about an area of the island where all defenders were strictly forbidden from entering, a place called the Resting Site." Henry explained.
Mala then took over, "Whenever a dragon's life comes to an early end, our Great Protector will carry its body to this place where it shall be laid to rest in peace." She explained, "My mother also said that spirits of those fallen dragons protect a very precious crystal hidden somewhere in that site."
Hiccup and Hicca look at each other as they both are having the same idea. "Could this precious crystal be a Dragon Eye lens?" Hiccup asked.
"Well, we do have our fair share of finding them in sacred areas where nobody would go." Hicca pointed out. "So maybe it's a possibility that this precious crystal might be a Dragon Eye lens."
"Then we better go check it out." Hiccup declared before turning to Mala. "Now, Mala. I know this might go against your old rules of us going into a dragon sacred area, but…" He was cut off when Mala raised her hand.
"Say no more, Hiccup Haddock," Mala said, "With every dragon in the world at risk of becoming the slaves of such vile men, some rules are meant to be broken."
The Riders smiled at Mala for her permission to let them check it out.
"Thanks, Mala. For what it's worth, we'll try to leave the site completely untouched." Hicca before giving the Thorston twins a hard look, "And yes, that especially means you two."
The Thorston twins gave disappointed looks. "Dang it." Tuffnut groaned.
"They really nailed us with that." Ruffnut mumbled.
"Heh, you're really trusting these guys with finding that lens." The Rider's perked up at the sound of a new voice and turned to the door, seeing the dark haired boy leaning against the door with a smirk, "I wouldn't count your Nadders before they hatch just yet." He said.
The riders realized with his armor he was wearing, he was a Berserker, but he didn't look familiar, "Um, I'm sorry, who are you?" Valerie asked.
"Oh right. We haven't met before." The Viking boy said rhetorically. "My name is Ragnar. Ragnar Keatson." He answered as he entered the room. "I was just passing by when I heard you Dragon Riders are planning on going into this Resting Site where there might be a chance that this so-called Dragon Eye lens could be there." Ragnar explained.
"Uh, yeah. What's it to you?" Raeda asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I just wanted to give you so called warriors, the heads up that it might not be as easy as you think, even with your flying firing breathing war machines." Ragnar told them.
"Hey, our dragons aren't war machines." Hiccup said in irritation while the others feel the same.
"Whatever. The point is, it's not gonna be easy going into that site." Ragnar continued.
"And why would you say that?" Hicca questioned in an annoyed look.
"Well for starters, how do you think your dragons are gonna feel about you flying them to a literal dragon graveyard?" Ragnar asked them, "I mean, for all you know, they could be thinking you're ready to say your final goodbyes."
Astrid scowled at that comment, "Hey, watch it!" She warned.
"Or what, you'll sic your Nadder on me?" Ragnar mocked, "Some warrior, needing an animal to do the work for her." He added.
Astrid rage increased as she clenched her fist while growling, feeling like tearing him apart.
Hiccup and Hicca saw this as they walked up to Astrid and placed hands on her shoulder. "Wow, easy Astrid." Hiccup said calmly to his girlfriend.
"Yeah. No need to get really rageful on him." Hicca added calmly as well.
Ragnar just smirked, "Heh, I guess those lizards aren't the only things on leashes, huh?" He taunted.
"What did you say?!" Astrid yelled in rage, growing even more angrier.
Heather quickly stepped in, "Okay, I think we need a break here." She said before turning to Ragnar, "Look, Ragnar. Could you excuse us for a moment?" She asked gently.
Ragnar just shrugged and turned away, "Fine, I'll just let these Dragon Riders go on they're mission and see if they actually get that lens." He said as he walked out of the hall.
Once he was gone, Snotlout spoke up, "I hate him." He said bluntly to the others.
"Never thought I would say this, but I'm with you Snotlout." Valerie said with a scowl.
"He's so mean." Fishlegs said while feeling hurt.
"And really know how to get me worked up." Astrid growled.
Henry crossed his arms with a sneer, "Who does he think he is?" He asked.
Heather sighed and turned to her friends, "Look guys, I'm really sorry about Ragnar." She said, "But you have to believe me when I say, he's actually a good guy."
"Oh sure, and Whispering Deaths have legs." Raeda said sarcastically.
Tuffnut looked at her in confusion, "What no they don't. I mean seriously Rae, we've seen Whispering Deaths so many times I thought you knew that they-" He trailed off as Raeda shot him a glare, "Shutting up."
"Guys, Ragnar is not that bad of a guy once you get to know him." Heather said in defense. "It's just, ever since Dagur and I have brought Windshear and Sleuther to Berserker Island, he viewed the idea of using dragons as an insult to the warrior way, that true glory can only be gained when you do it yourself." She explained to them.
The other Riders were surprised by this as Raeda then spoke. "Heather's right. We can't always count on dragons to pass the warrior way thing. And this is coming from a certain Henderson who has trained her whole life to become one." She commented.
"And something our father once thought before we trained Thornado." Hiccup remembered how their father also saw using a dragon only diminished the warrior way of a viking.
Snotlout then realized something, "Wait, is calling us cheaters?" He demanded an insult.
"Not exactly, Snotlout." Hicca spoke next. "We are warriors, but to Ragnar, it's like we're making our dragons do all the hard work for us."
"It's not that he hates dragons, it's just," Heather then sighed, "He has a lot of pride, wanting to defend our island and he feels that you guys get all the glory without doing anything yourselves."
"Wow, we haven't really thought about it like that." Hiccup said in surprise while the others were deep in thought. "I guess we do have the dragons do practically everything for us,"
"But it's not like we're forcing them to do it." Hicca reminded him, "Our dragons just came where they realized we needed the support on their own. They didn't have to help us most of the time, but they did." She pointed out.
"Except Ragnar doesn't believe that." Hiccup said as an idea came to him, "But what if we could show him."
The other riders immediately understood what he meant, "Oh no, no, no." Raeda quickly denied.
"Hiccup, don't tell me," Henry pleaded.
"Are you seriously thinking about teaching him to ride a Dragon?" Astrid asked her boyfriend.
"Yes. That is exactly what I was thinking, Astrid." Hiccup said with a smile.
Snolout groaned, "Okay, there is absolutely nothing special about riding dragons anymore is there?" He asked tiredly.
Hicca then nodded, "Actually I agree, aren't we living proof that training a dragon can really change who you are?" She asked.
"You know, she got a point there." Henry said in agreement. "I mean, when I defected from the Hunters and my father, I freed Wildstar and the others from their cages and flew off where I met Mala and the others here. And then after that, I met you guys when I thought I was the only Dragon Rider." He pointed out.
"And I thought I was the only one who liked dragons too before I heard about you guys." Valerie called next.
"And, can we really say any of us are the same crazy viking kids we were before we trained the dragons?" Hiccup asked his friends..
The others looked at each other as they muttered to one another before Ruffnut spoke. "Aren't we still?" She stupidly asked.
"Maybe." Tuffnut shrugged.
"Oh gods. Guys we have improved since we started riding dragons," Hicca said, "Me and Hiccup have gone from being wimpy vikings to actual proud members of the Haddock Line, Astrid's learn to mellow out, Raeda's embraced who she really is, Snotlout's learn to actually care, Fishlegs' found his inner warrior and you two have…" She trailed off looking at the Thorston Twins.
"Yeah?" Tuffnut asked with a smile.
"Come on, don't leave us hanging!" Ruffnut insisted.
Hicca thought for a moment while giving an awkward smile. "Gone from being annoying muttonheads to destructive muttonheads?" She suggested.
"Aw yeah!/Yeah!" The Thorston twins cheered as they bang their heads together.
"Hicca's right. We all became better because of our dragons. And we need to show that to Ragnar to help him understand that he can still be a warrior even with a dragon." Hiccup said.
"Not to mention, having one more Rider would be handy the next time we face-" Heather said but was cut off by a loud explosion that shook the room and they heard multiple familiar roars, "Oh no." She muttered.
"Singetails! We're under attack!" Henry yelled out.
"To the Dragons, now!" Hiccup ordered as they all ran out of the hall.
(Linebreak)
Once the Dragon Riders were outside, they saw Flyers flying around while shooting fire blasts while the Defenders and Berserkers ran for cover.
Flying above them was Krogan, "I'll ask this once and only once, hand over the Lens on this island and give me the location of the other lenses you have," He said with an evil smile, "Or shall we see how many Flyers it takes to destabilize that volcano."
Mala then gasped hatefully. "You wouldn't dare!" She yelled.
Krogan smirked and snapped his fingers as the Flyers increased their assault.
"Krogan! Stop! We don't have the lens on us!" Hicca called out. "Do you really think we would've given it to you if we found it by now?!" She questioned with a glare.
"Oh, I think you will, Ms. Haddock. Especially when you have to contest with a little guest that I've brought with me today." Krogan argued before turning to some Hunters bringing over a large cage made of Dragon-Proof metal as they heard growling sounds inside it.
"What's in the cage, Krogan?" Henry asked as they all stood ready for whatever came out.
"Oh, you'll find out, consider it an early wedding present," Krogan promised before turning to the Hunters, "Release him."
The Hunters then unlatched the roof of the cage and a powerful roar erupted from the cage, nearly blowing the Riders off their feet.
"Whoa, what could've made that roar?" Valerie asked in shock.
The other riders, minus Henry and Valerie, recognized that roar all too well, "Uh, oh." Hiccup said.
"It can't be." Hicca said in wide eyes.
"We know that roar." Raeda said in shock.
Henry, Valerie, Dagur, Mala and Heather turned to them, "You have?" Heather asked.
"Well, don't leave us in suspense sibs!" Dagur told them, "Tell us what it is?"
Another roar was heard as the cage shook.
"There's only one dragon in the world that can make a roar like that." Fishlegs started with a shiver.
"And it's something we haven't seen in over four years." Astrid added with worry.
Snotlout looked at the cage worryingly, "Please don't let it be the-"
He was cut off when bursting out of the cage was a large dragon with body shape resembling the Armorwing only a lot bigger and covered from head to toe with the bones of other dragons with a large mace tail made up of sharp bones pieced together.
"The Boneknapper!" The Haddock twins called out in shock as the Boneknapper roared loudly.
"Where did you get a Boneknapper, Krogan!? We only met a few four years ago!" Hicca called out.
"How is not important, what is important is how you plan to survive it while it makes this island its new home!" Krogan told her.
The Boneknapper glared down at the Human before flying down at them.
"Look out!" Hiccup yelled as they ran out the way of the Boneknapper's mace tail, as it slammed the ground, knocking them away.
"I really don't miss these things!" Snotlout said frighteningly as he quickly dodge a firestream from the Boneknapper.
"That makes two of us!" Fishlegs yelled out in fear as he screamed and ducked his head while hiding behind a crate. "It wants my head! I swear it wants my head like last time!" He cried out.
Raeda jumped as she dodge a tail slam from the Boneknapper. "Where's Gobber when you need him?!" She called out, seeing that this would've been one of those times Gobber was with them since he had experience with Boneknappers before.
"Don't worry, this time, we have the one thing we didn't when we faced this dragon!" Hiccup told her.
"What?!" Tuffnut asked as the Boneknapper got ready to fire again but was hit from the side by a plasma blast.
It turned and saw Toothless and Midnight and the other dragons growling at him, 'You stay away from our riders, bonehead!' Toothless warned.
"This time, we have our dragons!" Hicca finished with a wide smile as the riders quickly mounted on their dragons.
Krogan looked down at them with a smirk, "Looks like you were right Viggo," He said as watched the show.
The Boneknapper roared at them as the riders immediately charged at him. The Haddock Twins, Toothless and Midnight pounced on him but the large dragon tossed them off him.
"Stormfly/Sparkfire, Spine shot!" Astrid and Raeda called as their dragons fired their spines at the Boneknapper, but they couldn't penetrate his armor.
Henry and dragons tried attacking him while he was distracted, but the skeleton-like dragon whipped his tail at them in a full 180 turn, knocking them away.
Valerie and Camo snuck up behind the Boneknapper and pounced on his back, the Boneknapper thrashed around trying to shake them off.
That's when the Thorston twins, Barf and Belch charged at him, "Fire in the hole!" Tuffnut called as Barf let out some gas but before Belch could ignite it, the Boneknapper grabbed Camo by the tail and slammed him into the Zippleback as they crashed into a building.
"Meatlug, Tail Bludgeon!" Fishlegs told his dragon.
"Windshear, Tail Slice!" Heather ordered as Meatlug and Windshear flew towards the Boneknapper, striking his legs with their tails, but only ended up hurting themselves.
"Okay, that's a problem." Fishlegs said as Meatlug looked at her tail whimpering.
"That dragon sure picks out the toughest bones." Heather commented nervously as she looked at Wingshear's chipped tail.
The then screamed as the Boneknapper roared at them and snapped his jaws at Meatlug and then Windshear before they hightailed it out of there.
"Alright Hookfang, let's show 'em what a real dragon can do!" Snolout declared as he and Hookfang flew above them.
'Oh yeah!' Hookfang agreed as he landed in front of the Boneknapper but then quickly saw how much bigger he was, 'Oh wow, he's big.' He gasped in shock.
"Alright, Hookfang, light it up!" Snotlout ordered as Hookfang shook off his shock and then glared at the Boneknapper before setting himself on fire and roaring at him.
The Boneknapper just glared at Hookfang, unfazed by that display as he simply gave a big roar back, causing them to feel their faces being pushed back as Hookfang's flame went out as he and Snotlout stood there in shock.
Snotlout broke the silence as he gave a nervous chuckle. "This guy has one heck of a roar there. Huh, Hooky?" He asked nervously.
Hookfang chuckled nervously, 'Heh, yeah.' He chuffed as the Boneknapper then turned around with his tail up, 'Oh boy.'
'Bye-bye!' Boneknapper growled before he whacked the two show-offs back towards the other riders.
The Haddock twins were growing nervous from this. "Hiccup, our dragons are no match for the Boneknapper!" Hicca called out in worry. "He's just too big!"
"And with his armor, we can't even make a dent." Henry added as the Boneknapper stomped towards them.
"Yeah, this might be a problem." Hiccup said nervously.
Dagur can see that the others are losing, but then he sees something on the Boneknapper's neck, a bone similar to the one Gobber used to have as he then has an idea as he turned to his dragon.
"Sleuther! Come on! Let's show this bonehead what happens when you mess with a Berserks wedding planning!" Dagur declared as he mounted on Sleuther.
'Alright, Dagur!' Sleuther roared as he took to the air.
Dagur and his dragon charged into the air as the Dragon Riders saw him flying over them.
"Dagur! What are you doing!?" Hiccup called out.
"You saw what that thing did to us! You're no match for a Boneknapper! Not even Sleuther can stand his ground!" Hicca yelled as well.
"No need for that, sister!" Dagur said as they dove straight at the Boneknapper and latched on to his chest. Dagur reached and grabbed the bone he noticed, "Come on, come on!"
'Get off of ME!' The Boneknapper demanded as he managed to pry Sleuther off and tossed him towards the others.
"Beloved! Are you okay?!" Mala asked in concern as she ran up to Dagur while the others did as well.
"I'm fine. And I actually gave us some advantages." Dagur said with a smirk.
The riders looked confused before they saw the Boneknapper rear up and then opened its mouth for another roar…but all that came out was a squeak.
The Dragon Riders were shocked by this. "Wait, it can't roar now?" Henry asked in shock.
"How is that possible?" Valerie asked as well.
The Boneknapper looked surprised before trying to roar again but all that came out was a squeak, over and over.
Then Hicca noticed something on its chest, "One of its bones is missing!" She realized.
"Of course! Boneknappers need to find the perfect bones in order to roar!" Fishlegs remembered.
"But how did it…" Heather was about to ask before she realized something as she turned to her brother. "Dagur, did you?"
Dagur smirked as he held up the missing bone, "A little souvenir." He said.
"You swipe it's bone when you tackle it?" Hiccup asked in surprise.
"I figure if we need to handle a dragon this powerful, we might as well take away one of its powerful attacks to at least stand a chance." Dagur explained while tossing the bone piece in the air before catching it.
"Alright, that should even things out!" Hiccup says, "Alright gang, attack from all sides! It can't take us all on at once."
Immediately the Riders surrounded the Boneknapper, attacking him from all sides as without his roar the Dragons weren't intimidated by him anymore.
Most of the blast actually managed to knock most of his bone armor off as his scaleless skin became exposed.
"Okay, gang! Hold your fight! The Boneknappers have a vulnerable spot! Just stun it!" Hiccup called out.
"So no lethal blows! Just stunt it down!" Hicca called out next.
But before they could attack the Boneknapper then perked up and sniffed the air. He then turned to the other side of the island, narrowing his eyes before flying off.
"Hey! Where're you going?!" Snotlout demanded the large dragon.
Hiccup then realized what he was doing, "He's hunting." He said.
"For what?" Valerie asked.
"New bones to rebuild his armor." Hiccup answered as a horrible realization came to him.
"But the only place he can get Dragon bones around here is," Henry trailed off as the realization came to him.
"The Resting Site!" Hicca called out, having the same thought as well.
"Indeed!" Krogan said as they turned to him flying over them, "And now thanks to your efforts, that dragon will lead me right to the Resting Site and more importantly the Dragon Eye lens."
The Riders' eyes widen some more. "This whole attack was a trick! He used us to make the Boneknapper lose some bones to go find some new ones to get to the lens!" Henry called out in rage.
"And thanks to you, I now have a dragon that will lead me to the lens location!" Krogan declared as he and some of his the Flyers flew off to follow the Boneknapper.
"No!" Hiccup yelled as they immediately took flight after them.
Krogan then smirked and signaled to his other flyers to keep attacking the village. The Riders turned and saw the destruction and realized they were left with a tough choice: Go after Krogan or protect the Defenders.
"Hiccup, we have to go after him!" Snotlout told his cousin.
"But we can't abandon the Village!" Astrid argued.
"We need to split up if we wanna save the village and go after Krogan!" Hicca pointed out.
"Hicca's right! We need to split up!" Hiccup declared as he looked at the others. "Heather, You, me, Astrid, Snotlout and Raeda will go after Krogan. Hicca, you stay with Henry, Fishlegs, Valerie, Ruff, Tuff and Dagur and drive off these Flyers!"
"You can count on us, bro! You go after Krogan and keep him from getting the lens!" Hicca nodded.
"Hey!" The Riders looked down and saw Ragnar running towards them, "You're not going anywhere without me!"
"Ragnar?" Hiccup said in surprise as he flew down towards him.
"Look, I get that you don't like me, you have no reason to. But right now, with so many lives at stake, I have to be willing to cooperate with you." Ragnar told him, gesturing to the attack, "That is, if you are?"
Hiccup took a moment to think on his decision before Heather spoke. "Hiccup, let Ragnar come. Give him a chance. Besides, you never know when we might need the extra backup." She pointed out.
"She got a point, Hiccup." Hicca said in agreement. "I mean, Astrid, Raeda and Snotlout are good, but even they are no match for Krogan without some backup." She added.
Hiccup nodded and then turned to Ragnar, "Alright, you're with us." He said as Ragnar nodded his head.
"Hey, Ragnar! You might need this!" Dagur called out as he tossed the bone he took from the Bonekapper to Ragnar.
Ragnar caught the bone as he looked at it in confusion. "Why would I need this thing, Chief?" He asked.
"You never know when you might need it if you come across the Boneknapper." Dagur pointed out. "Besides, it really needed that bone." He added.
Ragnar shrugged as Heather landed next to him, "Climb on!" She said, holding out her hand.
Ragnar looked at Heather and then her hand as he accepted it as Heather pulled him on Windshear as the Riders split up into two groups and went in opposite directions.
(Linebreak)
As they flew through the air, Hiccup's team followed Krogan's trail on where he flew off to while following the Boneknapper.
"We have to find the Resting Site before Krogan and Boneknapper get there." Hiccup called out. "If Krogan finds the lens before we do, then he will be one step closer to the King of Dragons while as a bonus, the Boneknapper will ruin the sacred resting grounds for dragons! So we need to find them before that happens." He added.
"And how are we gonna take on both Flyers and the Boneknapper? I mean, the Flyers I've seen you guys take down, but the Boneknapper is another story." Ragnar pointed out. "Even without its roar, that dragon still has fire power." He added.
"Don't worry, it'll be too occupied with finding the right bones to fight," Astrid told him.
"And never forget the old saying," Raeda started.
Snotlout looked confused, "Never bath hot water with yak butter?" He asked.
"No!" Raeda facepalmed, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," She said.
"Oh," Snotlout said, "I don't get it,"
Hiccup groaned in disbelief, "Is he always like this?" Ragnar asked Heather.
"Rag, I could tell you stories." Heather sighed.
Hiccup then turned to Snotlout, "Snotlout, if the Boneknapper hates the Flyers like we do, there's a chance he might fight them with us." He explained.
"Really, because if memory serves, we took his bone that prevented him from roaring!" Snotlout yelled out. "You think he would join us after that and blast his bone armor straight up off him?" He questioned.
Hiccup thought for a moment as he spoke. "Okay. You make a good point. He might be angry at us for that. Boneknappers really are attached to their roars, and it also a mating call for them." He recalled.
"Well, we can try and give it back to him." Astrid suggestion. "Gobber gave a bone back to the Boneknapper we first saw on Dragon Island back its bone and it calmed down and let us get a ride home when we left our dragons on Berk." She pointed out.
"That could work with this on as well." Hiccup nodded in agreement.
"So if I give this dragon his bone back and give him back his powerful roar, can he calm down?" Ragnar asked while looking confused while holding out the bone Dagur took from the Boneknapper.
"Yeah, pretty much. That's how Gobber did with one four years ago." Hiccup confirmed.
"And now the real question is, how do we do that since we can't fight both Krogan and the Boneknapper at the same time? Our dragons already had a beat down from one Boneknapper from what we saw." Astrid pointed out.
"We need to separate the two from being together. At least it will give us an edge." Hiccup said.
"The question is, who draws the short straw?" Snotlout asked while the others looked at him weirdly. "What? I'm serious. Someone has to draw that boney dragon away while the rest of us deal with Krogan and his Flyers." He pointed out.
Ragnar looked at them while hearing their plan as he looked at the bone Dagur gave him as he then had a determined look as he clenched it up in his fist. "I'll do it." He declared loudly.
The Riders look at Ragnar in surprise by that. "Wait, what?" Heather asked in shock.
"I'll drive the Boneknapper away while the rest of you deal with Krogan and get that lens before he does." Ragnar instructed while looking serious.
"Ragnar, are you sure?" Hiccup asked uncertainty. "The Boneknapper is one of the most powerful dragons we face. And even without his roar, he still packs a punch." He pointed out.
"Well, not as powerful as a warrior." Ragnar countered while looking at the others. "I may have gotten off on the wrong foot with you Dragon Riders, but even I know when things get dire, a warrior has to step up to others and protect those in trouble. And I am not gonna let those people on this island suffer." He said seriously.
The others were surprised by Ragnar's determination and bravery to lure the Boneknapper away while they deal with Krogan, while the Boneknapper is ten times as powerful than Krogan and the Flyers, Ragnar was really going to take the chance anyway.
"Ragnar, are you sure? You never dealt with a Boneknapper before?" Heather asked uncertainty while worrying about Ragnar.
"I am dead sure. I'm a Berserker, and this is what I live for." Ragnar said seriously.
"Okay, then once we find them, draw the Boneknapper away as far as you can. But be careful, even without its roar, it still has its firepower." Hiccup advice.
"Don't worry. I will." Ragnar assured as he looked at her. "Let's go." He declared as the other nodded in agreement as they flew off.

Back at the village, Hicca and Midnight shot down another Flyer as the Singetail flew off.
She looked down and saw the other riders handing different parts of the fleet while the Defenders and Berserkers handled the ones on the ground.
"Riders, make sure to drive the Flyers away from the people! We can't risk them getting caught in the crossfire!" Hicca called out as Midnight blasted another Flyer off the Singetail.
"They pick the wrong day to wreck my island home again!" Henry called out in rage as this is the second time Defends of the Wing Island was attacked by the Flyers as his dragons took out multiple Flyers.
And then, a couple of Flyers were taken out from the air by nothing, which turned out to be Camo and Valerie in camouflage as they appeared between where the Flyers used to be.
"Ha! These guys can't touch or attack what they can't see!" Valerie cheered as Camo fired an acid blast, not directly to them, but close enough to startle them as Valerie then threw some daggers to knock the Flyers off the Singetails.
"You said it, Val! But how about we give these guys a bang of a lifetime!" Tuffnut called out excitedly.
The Thorston Twins then created a ring of gas around the Flyers and before they could question it, Belch ignited the gas and blasted them right off their dragons.
"Awesome!" Ruffnut cheered.
Fishlegs then came towards Hicca. "Hicca, we drove back most of the Flyers, but we still got some more to deal with on the other side of the village and at the Volcano!" He informed while pointing at the Volcano where the Flyers are.
Hicca growled as she saw them firing at the volcano, "They're trying to force it to erupt!" She called.
"If they do that, that much lava will take out the island!" Henry called out with wide eyes.
"Where's the Protector?!" Hicca asked the big question. "He should've been here by now!"
Tuffnut looked down, "Oh, there he is." He said pointing down.
They looked down and saw the Eruptodon surrounded by Flyers. "But he's a little tied up at the moment." Tuffnut commented.
"Protect the Eruptodon!" Hicca ordered as she prepared to dive but was stopped by a fireball.
The Riders looked as more Flyers showed up, "Yeah, and who's gonna protect us?!" Valerie asked before the Singetails fired.
(Linebreak)
Back with Hiccup's team have been flying for a while, but then he saw something that made him go eye wide.
"Gang, stop!" Hiccup called out as the Riders stopped in midair. "There they are!" He pointed down.
The Riders saw the Resting Site, which has mounds for dragons to have their final resting place like the ones in Vanaheim as the Boneknapper searched through some bones while the Flyers and Krogan searched through the area on foot while ignoring the Boneknapper.
"Keep searching! We have to find that lens!" Krogan ordered his men to search harder.
"Are we sure that letting that boneheaded dragon around while we search is a good idea, sir?" A Flyer asked Krogan.
"Don't worry about that dragon. He's too busy searching for some pathetic bones to even be a threat." Krogan said as he kept searching. "Just find the lens!" He yelled as the Flyer went back to work after a flinch.
"Looks like we found the Resting Site." Hiccup said.
"But these fools are disgracing the dragon's resting place!" Raeda growled. "They have no respect!" She added.
"Well, what do you say we teach 'em some manners?" Snotlout asked with a smirk.
"Snotlout, for once, I agree with you." Astrid said with a challenging smirk.
"Okay, Heather, you and Ragnar hide in the woods and try to get the Boneknapper's attention. The rest of us will deal with Krogan and his Flyers." Hiccup instructed.
"On it, Hiccup." Heather said as Ragnar nodded as Windshear flew down into the trees to sneak up on the Boneknapper.
"Okay, gang, let's give Krogan a proper greeting." Hiccup said as the others agreed eagerly.
As Krogan kept searching he heard a roar and looked up, "Coming in hot!" Snotlout yelled as Hookfang breathed fire at him.
Some of the Flyers were knocked to the ground while Krogan looked up and saw Hiccup and his friends.
"Haddock." Krogan growled as he took the air with his remaining men as well.
The Boneknapper heard the commotion and turned to the battle. But just before he could join in.
"Over here you Colossal Fossil!" The Boneknapper turned and saw Ragnar, Heather and Windshear, "Looking for something?" Ragnar asked, holding up the bone.
The Boneknapper saw his missing bone as he then glared at Ragnar as he gave a squeak. 'My bone! Give it to me!' He squeaked, if he could roar, he would.
"Oh you want this?" Ragnar taunted, "Why don't ya come and get it?" He called out as he then turned in a direction and ran off into the woods, with the Boneknapper following as he chased after Ragnar to get his missing bone.
Krogan saw this as he growled. "The Boneknapper is getting away!" He yelled out.
And then a plasma blast blocked him from following as he turned and glared at Hiccup. "Not this time, Krogan." Hiccup firmly said.
Krogan growled before he gave a smirk. "No matter. He served his purpose and I'm only here for the lens." He said. "Of course killing you is merely a bonus."
"I'm afraid that bonus will never come!" Hiccup called out as Toothless fired a plasma blast again as he and Krogan started fighting in the air.

In the woods, Ragnar is hopping through trees to trees with the Boneknapper following him as it smashed through the trees.
Windshear and Heather followed close behind, before they noticed some Speed Stingers hiding in fear of the Boneknapper. 'Wussies.' Windshear snorted.
Ranger kept running through some obstacles in the woods as he jumped, duck and slid through trees and branches while keeping a firm hold to the bone.
"Keep chasing!" Ragnar taunted with a smirk.
'Give me back my bone!' The Boneknapper squeaked while still chasing Ragnar.
Ragnar then tripped over a big log as he rolled across the floor and landed on his back. "Gotta work on my footing.' He groaned.
The Boneknapper started stomping towards him, as Ragnar got up and dodged the first stomp then the second, but on the third it looked the Dragon squashed him as the bone fell to the ground in front of him.
The Boneknapper growled preparing to lift his foot to see the squashed Berserker, except when he drop his foot down, he felt not a single squash sound from stepping on a human, which made the Boneknapper confused as he look at his foot where he step on Rangar, only for Ragnar to pop his head up from a crack next to the foot.
"Pop goes the Viking!" Ragnar sang tauntingly as he ran out the hole and grabbed the bone.
'Filthy Viking!' The Boneknapper growled as he continued his chase to Ragnar.
Ragnar looked around as he saw Windshear appearing out of the tree tops, "Good, now I got some good cover!" He said but made the mistake of letting his guard down as the Boneknapper grabbed him by the belt, "Uh, oh." He said before the Boneknapper tossed him into the air and then the bone grabbed onto his snout.
"Whoa, easy big fella!" Ragnar said as he held on for dear life, "Alright, if you want your bone back, then take it!" He yelled out as he tossed the bone as it flew to its missing spot on the Boneknapper's chest as it was fit in place.
The Boneknapper felt his bone in place as he tossed Ragnar in the air as he landed in the bushes.
"Ragnar!" Heather called out in worry.
Ragnar then popped out rubbing his head, "I'm okay." He said.
The Boneknapper felt his bone in place as he took a deep breath and let out a mighty roar, which caused Heather, Ragnar and Windshear to try and block out the sound as the Boneknapper kept roaring for a moment.
'My roar! It's back!' The Boneknapper roared happily at the sound of his roar before turning towards Ragnar as he walked towards him slowly.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute I just gave you your bone, you can't kill-" Ragnar trailed off as the Boneknapper looked with wide pupils and panting as he gave him a friendly lick, "Guh, yuck!" He moaned as he wiped his face before turning back to the Dragon as it nuzzled him.
Heather giggled, "I think he likes you." She said.
Ragnar gave a slight chuckle as he petted the Boneknapper as it started purring. "Aw, you're nothing but a huge puppy, aren't you?" He asked as the Boneknapper kept purring.
'You gave me back my bone. You are trustworthy.' The Boneknapper cooed as he kept nuzzling Ragnar.
Ragnar gives a chuckle as he then looks at the Boneknapper, who is panting while he looks at Windshear. "All my life, I thought dragons would only hold back the ways of being a warrior, but after seeing you and Windshear in action, Heather, I guess I was wrong." He said while looking at Heather.
Heather was surprised by Ragnar's words as she gave a small smile to him as she and Windshear landed next to him and the Boneknapper. "Ragnar, the dragons may have done most of the things for us, but they choose to help us when things get tough. They aren't war machines and they aren't just our pets, they are our partners, our friends." She pointed out.
Ragnar was surprised by that as he looked at the Boneknapper. "I never really thought about it. I just thought if I can do things on my own, I would be a better warrior and not let anything weigh me down." He said in thought.
"They don't. Trust me, before I found Windshear I thought I was gonna be on my own forever, but then Hiccup, Hicca and the other Riders showed me that I don't have to be alone anymore and that dragons can always be there for you in tough times." Heather explains while petting Windshear, who started purring from the touch. "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have reunited with my brother and be where I am today." She added.
Ragnar was in thought before the sound of explosions were heard, "Sounds like they need help." Ragnar said before the Boneknapper flipped him onto his neck, "Whoa, what is happening!?" He asked in shock.
"Looks like the Boneknapper is giving you a lift." Heather said in surprise.
"Okay, easy big fella. I am still new at this…" Ragnar was cut off as the Boneknapper took the air while he yelped in surprise.
Heather and Windshear watch them go as Heather looks at her dragon. "Ragnar's gonna have a rough time getting used to riding a dragon." She said in amusement.
'It is his first time.' Windshear growled in amusement before she took to the air as the two followed the Boneknapper and its surprised rider.
(Linebreak)
Hiccup and Toothless slid across the ground as Krogan flew above them, "Stay down little boy," Krogan mocked him with a smirk. "We wouldn't want you to lose the other leg, would we?"
Hiccup narrowed his eyes, "Oh, you did not just go there!" He shouted.
"I did." Krogan taunted as he gave a kick to his Titan Wing Singetail. "Let's finish this."
The Titan Singetail prepared its fireball, but then a loud roar was heard, which made everyone, including their dragons, cover their ears as they tried to block out the sound as it was so loud.
"What is that?!" Krogan yelled out through the roar.
Then riding on the neck of the Boneknapper was Ragnar as he held on for dear life, "Hey, someone stop this crazy thing!" Ragnar yelled before the Boneknapper struck Krogan's singetail with its mace tail, which knocked Krogan and his dragon off as they hit the ground.
"Ragnar! And the Boneknapper?" Hiccup said in surprise.
"Ragnar's riding a dragon?" Snotlout asked in surprise as well.
"That's a shock." Raeda commented.
"Yeah, but once Ragnar gave the Boneknapper its bone back, he gained a new friend." Heather spoke as she and Windshear flew to the other Riders. "Now let's wrap this up and go help the others!" She declared with a smirk.
Hiccup gave a smirk as well. "You heard Heather, gang! Let's finish this!" He declared as he mounted back on Toothless as he and the others faced the Flyers again.
Krogan groaned on the ground as he got up while rubbing his head. But then he saw something out of the corner of his eye, it was the Dragon Eye lens. Krogan smirked as he grabbed the lens as he looked up at the Riders fighting the Flyers.
"A small loss for us but a greater loss for them." Krogan said to himself as he mounted his Titan Wing Singetail as they took to the air.
Hiccup then shot down a couple of Flyers with two plasma blasts, but then he saw Krogan flying off as he saw something in his hand.
"Krogan got the lens!" Hiccup called out to the others."What?!" Snotlout exclaimed.
"No!" Astrid yelled.
"After him!" Raeda told her friends as they were about to follow, but the Flyers were blocking their way.
"Oh come on!" Snotlout yelled in frustration. "Now what?"
"Move!" Ragnar yelled as the Riders ducked when Boneknapper swung his tail, knocking all the Flyers away.
"Alright!" Ragnar cheered. "This is really amazing!" He called out while holding onto the Boneknapper.
'Wait until you see this!' The Boneknapper roared as he shot his fire blast at the Flyers, knocking them off the Singetail while roaring loudly as the Flyers covered their ears in pain.
The remaining singetails were enduring so much punishment that they actually threw off their Flyers and flew away..
Hiccup and the others watch in surprise as they see Ragnar and the Boneknapper facing off against the Flyers on their own.
"Wow, Ragnar really is getting the hang of this, huh?" Snotlout asked in surprise.
"You said it. And the Boneknapper really is getting payback." Raeda added.
Ragnar then turned to Riders, "Now, let's go after Mr. Giant jerk rider!" He called out as he flew ahead of them.
The Riders watched him in shock before Heather spoke. "You heard the man. Let's go after Krogan before he gets away." She said as she flew off after Ragnar.
Hiccup shook his head as he got his bearings. "Heather's right. Let's go!" He called out as the other riders flew off.
Krogan was still flying on his dragon as he held the Dragon Eye lens in his hand as he clenched it with a smirk. "Only a couple lenses remain." He said.
"Hey, Krogy!" Krogan turned and saw Valerie landing on his Singetail, leaping his head and snatching the lens, "Thanks for the gift!" She said as landed on Camo's saddle as they flew off.
"No!" Krogan yelled in rage. "After her!" He ordered his dragon as the Titan Wing Singetail flew off after her.
Krogan's Singetail flew after Camo as it fired fireballs at him as Camo dodge a few before disappearing as Hicca's team appeared in front of Krogan.
"Krogan! You lost this battle!" Hicca yelled out.
Krogan then turned to the volcano and smirked, "Or have I?" He said.
Then suddenly the island started trembling as smoke started bellowing from the volcano.
"Oh boy, I think the volcano is ready to-" Dagur said before the volcano erupted, "Yup, there it is."
The eruption was so powerful that Valerie and Camo uncloaked and she dropped the lens, "No!" She cried.
Krogan smirked as he quickly flew down and grabbed the lens as he gave a chuckle.
"He's getting away!" Tuffnut called out.
"Forget him! We gotta free the Protector so he can stop the lava flow!" Henry called out while pointing to the trap Protector the Flyers tied down.
"We need more dragon power!" Fishlegs said.
"More power?" The Riders turned to see the others and the Boneknapper and most shockingly, Ragnar riding on it, flying to them, "Coming right up!" He called out as the Boneknapper flew past them and headed to where the Great Protector is.
"Was that Ragnar?!" Dagur asked in shock.
"Apparently it is! And He's riding the Boneknapper!" Hicca said in surprise.
"Wow! Never thought Ragnar would be riding the Boneknapper." Fishlegs said in surprise.
Ragnar and the Boneknapper flew straight towards the Protector as the Boneknapper started firing its blasts at the Flyers on the ground, knocking them back as they screamed. The Boneknapper then uses its tail mace as it smacks to the ground while knocking them back while roaring to confuse them with the loud noise.
"That's right, Skully! Teach them a lesson!" Ragnar called out before he realized what he said. "Hey, Skully. That's a fitting name. You like that boy?" He asked with a smirk.
'Yeah!' The newly named Skully roaring in confirmation.
"Atta boy!" Ragnar yelled determinedly as he jumped off of Skully and landed next to the trapped Protector as he drew his sword and cut the Protector free from its bonds.
The Protector got the ropes off himself as he stood up and gave a fierceful roar. 'Freedom!' He roared as he scared away the Hunters.
The Boneknapper roared, blowing away the Hunters as they decided to retreat. The two dragons stood side to side and roared together in triumph.
The Riders cheered before Henry remembered something. "Protector! The lava flow from the volcano is gonna destroy the village!" He called out while pointing at the village.
The Protector then turned to where Henry was pointing as it gave a determined look. 'I'm on it, Henry!' He roared as he took to the air and started eating up the lava before it touched the village as the Defenders and Berserkers started cheering at their Protector saving them.
Hicca smiled as the island had been saved but then she noticed one of the Singetails who just recovered flew off and something fell off its hide. "Huh?" She said, flying over to where the Dragon took off, dismounted from Midnight and picked up what fell off.
Not up close, she saw it was a strange orange clearstone, and she recognized it, "Deathsong Amber?" She said with confusion, she wondered how this got on a Singetail, did Krogan find Garff?, "No, no. This probably came from another Death Song who caught that Singetail before the flyers captured it." She said, shaking her head, knowing Garff was safe and sound.
(Linebreak)
After the battle and the lava now stabilize, the Defenders, Berserkers and Dragon Riders help clean up the mess from the fight as the Dragon Riders are having a discussion together.
"So Krogan got away with a lens." Hiccup said with a sigh.
"Yeah. He did. Sorry, bro." Hicca apologized.
"I should be saying sorry," Valerie sighed, "I'm the one who lost the lens."
Tuffnut however shook his head and raised his hands, "Nonsense! It's the volcano fault, it could've happened to any of us." He told her.
"Yeah, I think Fishlegs would've dropped it." Ruffnut said while pointing a finger at Fishlegs.
"Hey!" Fishlegs said, feeling offended.
"Guys, now's not the time." Raeda said with a sigh.
"Guys, we may not have the lens, but Defender's Island is now safe from Krogan and the volcano." Henry pointed out while pointing to the Defenders and Berserkers cleaning the island together. "If Ragnar hadn't helped free the Protector, the island would've burned into a crisp." He added.
"Yeah. And he was really good on that Boneknapper." Astrid commented as they turned to Ragnar standing with Skully.
"Yeah, you did good. Way to go, big guy." Ragnar congratulated his dragon before turning to Dagur, "Can we keep him?"
Dagur then placed his hands on his chin with a thoughtful look. "Mmm, well, Berserker Island do need another Dragon Rider to protect it, and Skully is fit for the Berserker material, so yeah you can keep him!" He announced with a wide grin.
"Thank you, Chief! Thank you!" Ragnar said as he gave a hug to Skully's head while Skully nuzzled him with a purr.
The Riders smiled at them as Heather spoke. "Welcome to the team, Ragnar." She said with a smile.
"You are now one of us, a Dragon Rider." Hiccup announced.
"We may have room on the Edge for another." Hicca suggested.
"Thanks, but I think my place is with the Berserkers. I gotta protect my home if the Chief and Heather are out from time to time." Ragnar said as he smiled at Heather. "If it weren't for Heather, I wouldn't have accepted dragons like you have." He added.
Heather smiled back with a blush. "Well, I did learn from the best with my friends." She said as the others smiled back.
"Well, if you say so, Ragnar. We won't force you." Henry said with a smile.
"If you want, Ragnar. I will teach you some lessons my friends taught me." Heather suggested.
"I would like that, Heather." Ragnar answered as he turned to the Dragon Riders "But please, if you guys ever need a warrior and his Boneknapper partner, just send a Terror Mail." He said with a smile.
"Will do, Ragnar." Hiccup said with a smile as he extended his hand. "And if you ever need our help, just ask." He added.
Ragnar smiled as he accepted Hiccup's hand. "Will do, Dragon Riders." He said as they all smiled at each other.
They may have lost another lens to the King of Dragons to Krogan, but Defenders' Island is now safe and a dragon is free and a Viking and dragon have made a friendship bond with each other and the Dragon Riders made a new ally.
