Ryder carried unconscious Astrid home to the Hofferson's house.
Ingrid and Magnus gasped in shock at their daughter's condition.
Ryder carried her upstairs to her room and laid her on bed.
Ingrid ask "what happened?"
Ryder sighs "she was attacked by Fragonard and almost raped."
Magnus sighs "I can't place a bride price for her if she isn't pure now."
Ryder sighs "I said almost. Fragonard only got her leggings down before Toothless blasted the weapons shed apart to stopped them. Stoick will pay it for Hiccup because I still love her no matter what."
Magnus nods his head.
Ryder lays beside her wrapping his arms around her and hold her.
In the middle of the night, Astrid woke up to being cuddle by someone and pushed the person away.
Ryder wakes up on the floor "oof. What is wrong with you?!"
Astrid sighs "sorry. I freaked out that you were cuddling me. Where is Fragonard and his two buddies?!"
Ryder sighs "they are sitting in a prison cells for the night after Fragonard attempted to rape you."
Astrid ask "how far did he get?"
Ryder answers "he was only able to get your skirt and leggings off before Stormfly called Toothless for help. He destroyed the weapons shed to save you. You should have seen their faces. They were scared in place and couldn't move seeing Toothless in alpha mode."
Astrid ask "what did my dad say about this?"
Ryder answers "he almost didn't want to place a bride for you. I told him Hiccup would have Stoick pay it because I still love you, Astrid even though you hurt me saying I'm worth nothing."
Astrid sighs "dragon boy? Shut up and kiss me."
Ryder removes his helmet and kisses her with passion.
In the morning, Ingrid woke up the kids to see them almost naked and smirks "what did you two do last night? Decided to have a heated makeout session and fall asleep like that?"
Astrid blushes "mom!"
They get dressed and head downstairs after hiccup puts on his helmet to disguise himself as Ryder.
Astrid tells him "Ryder? I told Stoick who you really are and to wait until your ready to come back as Hiccup. He agreed to not reveal your true identity."
Ryder sighs and nods his head "at least he doesn't have to worry about where I'm at."
Astrid comments "I didn't want him worried about where you left too. I only hope you will return as Hiccup soon so I can marry you."
Ryder enters the arena.
Guards bring Fragonard and his two buddies to the arena.
Stoick comments "Ryder has demanded that he fight all three of you for attacking his friend."
They charge at Ryder who held his ground while disarming them then beating them black and blue.
Once Fragonard's buddies were defeated, Ryder turned to him and began pounding his face into the stone floor.
Gobber stop the match after Fragonard closed his eyes and fell unconscious.
Ryder scowls "next time you come after my friend, I'll cut off your manhood."
