Berk had changed over the past one year new dragon specials the tribe growing bigger, it ever grew bigger more popular with dragon racing that only took place on Berk every month to see who was the best of the best there wasn't many rules to it but it made it interesting when they would fight for a sheep for a white or the black sheep which held more points as well ending the game, then at the game there be either a fight or party sometimes both which could last a day all night till the next day.
Todays race was more of who could be whacked by a weapon most especially between Fishlegs and Snotlout who seemed to be fighting over Ruffnut who more was actually focused on the race which made the crowd laugh at the show from the dragon riders, they watched as white sheep was given to Ruffnut by Snotlout who started to tell her that she was beautiful before let out a degusting guff, Barf growled letting out some gas then there was boom.
Dagur however wasn't really paying attention but was instead reading a letter in his hands that was sent from Hiccup four months ago saying she was on the move with Drago not knowing when she be able to write back to him, Dagur sighed softly which caught Stoick attention from the fight between Snotlout an Fishlegs "your mind on somewhere else chief Dagur" Stoick asked the young chief which made the berserker look at the berk chief.
"ah, kinda worried for my betrothal" Dagur replies putting the letter away from sight, but Stoick was shocked to hear that Dagur had a betrothal or the fact a brave lass was dating the once crazy berserker chief but by all he still acts a bit crazy especially with Heather around him, both chiefs looked back at the race not noticing the other chiefs were listening also shocked to hear but showed no reacts towards it not to enrage the two powerful chiefs.
"it's time Gobber" Stoick says to his best friend who nodded and waved to someone who nodded and took a deep breath before bowing into a horn that alert the riders that the black sheep would be throw into the air at anywhere in the village, Astrid and Heather were flying around waiting for the sheep to pop up at any point there could be only one winner the other riders were doing the same either they were low or high waiting for the black sheep.
The crowed of vikings waited until the next moment the black sheep was throw into the air near Astrid and Heather as they both went for it but suddenly Fishlegs came out of nowhere and took the black sheep from the two shield maidens reach, they both yelled at the husky boy as he flew towards the twin with the sheep then gave it to Ruffnut but the blonde shield maiden wasn't gonna lose so easier to anymore especially the twins.
"go Astrid!" Stoick yells standing up from his chair making the other chiefs beside Dagur flinch in fear from his voice as Astrid flew closer to twins as they began to fight over the black sheep before she got closer enough jumping off Stormfly and onto the zippleback and ran grabbing the sheep and jump landed on her dragon back as she began to fly fast back to where the nets held the other sheep as scores, other rider's flew in front of Astrid making her dragon stop in midair as Fishlegs came from one side and Snotlout who wield a war hammer in his hands coming straight to Astrid and Fishlegs coming behind with no weapon but not seeing Snoutlout.
"Stormfly down!" Astrid yells as the deadly nadder ducked down in time as Snoutlout smacked Fishlegs with the war hammer making the on watching vikings watched on horror but also laughed, Astrid avoiding the other riders as she flew towards where their sheep scores before duking the black sheep in the net "that's 20! Astrid wins the game!" Stoick yells standing up from his chair as the cowards cheers as the dragon riders fly around in the sky as Astrid started to do a bit of show off, Heather just shook her head with a smile on her face, the other chiefs clap their hands together as well saying great race.
Dagur walked over to where Heather landed with her dragon "next time sister" Dagur says "yeah next time" Heather replied back as they began to head to the great hall for the party knowing they be in for another crazy night "have you gotten any letters from her" Heather asked Dagur who kept his eyes forward "no, I haven't for the past couple months, no doubt they are moving or are too far away sending letters" Dagur tells his sister as they reached the stairs seeing the other vikings around headed up to the hall, there had be a few times Dagur had slip out that he is seeing someone in secret in front of the other chiefs that have to piss of the Berserker chief for information about the future chieftess of Berserker and the one that had tamed his wild heart.
But the Berserker chief wasn't gonna them nothing not until Hiccup was comfortable and when she was done dealing with her father, they walked up the stairs as Heather dragon flew off to play with the other dragons above the village, they reached in side seeing the party had already began with some music an drinking but no fights just yet, Heather went to a table with the other riders and to join a very sore Fishlegs who head a ice boke to his head, Dagur went to the other chiefs and sat down along with them with the strong mead already out and cooked food of fish yak and sheep as well chicken.
Not a couple minutes passed before a fight broke out and their were cheering and bets being placed on who would win, Astrid along with Heather, fishlegs, snotlout Ruffnut an Tuffnut decide to leave to go fly with their dragons, thinking they get away without being spotted but a chief watched as the group leave the great hall, he really didn't think much it and kept drinking a bit until a terror flew in with a letter on it's back leg and it flew straight to Dagur who placed his mug down as the little dragon landed on the table, most other chiefs saw this as the Berserker chief took the letter of the terror leg opening it an read the letter with a small smile on his face but a moment later a frown came upon his face "damn it" he mutters putting the letter in a pocket.
The chiefs plus Stoick watch as the berserker chief pick up the terror and leave fast walking out of the great hall but didn't think much of it as he continued to party mostly drinking as another fight broke out, Gobber sighed shaking his head as he knew he would be fixing a lot after the party has ended.
Meanwhile Astrid and the other dragon riders flew together for hours until they came upon a new island, Fishlegs was straight to grabbing his book not even before he landed on the ground, the others shook their heads and started to fly around the island looking everywhere waiting for fishlegs to hurry up, Astrid watched Heather and Snotlout fly around before she spotted smoke coming from far away.
"guys look" she says pointing at the direction as everyone to where their leader pointed seeing the grey smoke from the distance, of course Astrid lead the way as everyone else followed behind as they got closer to the smoke but instead saw a huge ice wall with a destroyed base "what happened here" Heather says reaching Astrid side as they reached the huge ice and flew around it before Fishlegs spotted people down below "look survivors" he pointed out but not a second they all heard a fire and a iron net went flying to Astrid dragon catching the deadly nadder wings as they began to fall down the ground, Astrid was caught by Heather "Stormfly!" Astrid yelled as the dragon hit the ground.
Stormfly got up and began to break free the net and using her tail as a man jump over a fallen lag "watch the tail!" he yells as men began to hold down the dragon before tying it up as the riders flew around before headed down to the no doubt dragon hunters before landing, grabbing their weapons "back again" the man says placing a foot on Stormfly neck making Astrid angry as they are now harming her beloved dragon, the man smirked as the other riders stayed in the air making the wrong choice of forgetting their weapons, Heather's dragon growled having her entire body an tail ready to fight.
"at least our luck has turned for the better, we got more dragons" the man said as the other grinned happily having their weapons ready for a fight "look I just want my dragon back and we will leave" Astrid says "that ain't gonna happen, after your thieving friend stole the all of the dragons last night" the leader stated getting annoyed fast "you have a ice spitting dragon on your side, but we still have a quota to fill" the man told the dragon riders getting off Stormfly "there are more other dragon rider's" Fishlegs mutters "how do you suppose we explain this mess to Drago Bludvist" the man begins taking three steps away from the nadder as he induced himself before the other hunter began to talk.
Unknown to them a masked person wearing a mask covering their face, moving their arms as they aimed a arrow with the tip on fire before firing the arrow, Eret pulled out his sword from behind him and pointed it at Astrid but it was short lived when a flame arrow shot pass just nicking the top of nose, he screamed in shock and pain, the dragon riders looked confused as too where the arrow came from but looking they couldn't see anyone there, but this is their chance and they took it knocking a few hunters out grabbing Astrid grabbed a sword cutting the ropes that once held the nadder down, Stormfly stood up as her rider quicky got and the nadder took off into the sky with the other dragon riders following behind leaving the hunters yelling behind them.
Eret screams in pure frustration, not only has he lost once but now twice a shipment of dragons, now they are empty handed with no doubt gonna lose their heads from Drago daughter or worse Drago himself, the remaining hunters started to gather once again anything they could save and headed back to the last ship that wasn't destroyed, on top of a hill looking at the hunter stood a masked person that still held the bow in their hand before walking away to a dragon getting on the saddle as the dragon took off into the sky.
Astrid and the other dragon riders reached but to Berk seeing that the party had die down, they headed straight to the great hall seeking their chief, Astrid spotted her chief making Stormfly fly to him, the nadder landed on the ground with Astrid headed straight over to Stoick as the chief saw her "ah there she is, the undefeated champion!" Stoick yells making a lot of the villages look before they continued on with their daily jobs "chief we need to speak" the young shield maiden speaks "what about lass?" Stoick asks "we ran into dragon hunters" she replied.
Stoick looks at her "I thought they left like you said" he says as Gobber limp over "that's right thought you said they left to somewhere else" the blacksmith grumbles "that's the problem, they're are catching dragons" Fishlegs speaks coming into sight "under a man by the name of... Drago... bloody fist or something?" Astrid says Stoick was taken back when his eyes widen and so did Gobber at the name Stoick looked at Astrid "Bludvist, Drago Bludvist?" Astrid nodded before she could ask Stoick he ran off yelling to put the dragons in the under ground base.
Astrid followed after her chief demanding that he tell her what was going on but the chief just kept giving out orders as the iron doors to the cave's entrance "what is happening!" Astrid yells "no viking or dragon sets foot of this island until I give word!" Stoick commands "wait, because of guy you knew is stirring up trouble in some faraway land?" Astrid asks as Stoick turned around looking t the young shield maiden placing a hand on her shoulder "because Drago Bludvist is a mad man without a conscience or mercy and if he's built a dragon army, gods help us all" Stoick tells her turning away yelling again to have the dragon locked away as others vikings followed their chiefs command.
"Then let's ride back out there we'll follow those trappers to Drago and talk some sense into him" Fishlegs says now behind Stoick "yeah, we have someone..." Astrid stopped, she remember what the night fury rider told her, that her father was the leader of the dragon hunters, did she mean Drago Bludvist was her father, or this could be a complete viking dragon hunter but she needed proof first, without a second thought Astrid ran seeing Stormfly had came down along with the other dragons, the young shied maiden got on her dragon telling the Nadder to fly off.
"Astrid!" Stoick yells seeing this action as she was followed by the other riders "get back here!" they flew under the closing iron door as it closed shut, Stoick cursed before walking away with Gobber following behind him "get our dragons ready Gobber, we have to stop them" Stoick looks at the old blacksmith who nodded and walked ahead of him back up the stairs, sightly remembering that Astrid was gonna say something but didn't before ran off, with a sigh Stoick walked up the stairs, deep in his head he thought what if his daughter was like this if only he haven't sent her off, would she turn out like him or her once mother Valka his dear wife.
With the dragon riders
It didn't take long for the dragon riders to find the hunters on a boat already headed somewhere, they flew closer to the only ship hearing yelling coming from it "keep your eyes peeled lads! with this wind we'll reach Drago by daybreak" they recognized that voice from their leader Eret, Fishlegs using a spy glass spotted him in the middle of the ship, while on the ship Eret heard his one of his men say something about dragons, the man looked up seeing the dragon riders from before flying towards the ship "get the nets ready!" he yells.
But they didn't get the chance too when the nadder flew five feet above the deck and hop off her dragon and did Heather as well Snotlout, their dragons landed nearby on the ship ready to help their riders fight back "and here I was worried we might turn up empty handed" Eret claims walking over to Astrid as she had her axe ready "it's your lucky day, take us to your leader this Drago Bludvist" the young shield maiden demand pointing the her axe at him "that ain't gonna happen women" Eret reply back crossing his arms.
"but we will be taking those dragons" Eret says, a high pitch roar was heard that made Eret and his men freeze in fear, while the dragon riders knew that roar that could only belong to the night fury, Fishlegs looked behind him as the night fury flew straight past him and the twins headed straight to the ship, they followed getting more closer as the night fury land on the second deck of the hunters ship and the rider got of her dragon and started upon the sight seeing Eret and the leader of the dragon riders at each other with weapons, but this made the rider furious at the both of them.
"Leave dragon riders, you as well Eret!" Hiccup yelled while still wearing her mask, Eret and his men back off away from the dragon riders, Heather and Astrid stared at the night fury rider as she stared back at them "you have no business being here rider's, leave and don't come back unless you wish to lose your dragons" both shields maiden plus Snoutlout kinda looked shocked and surprised with this threat Astrid took a step forward "your the daughter of Drago Bludvist ain't you" she asked "that is she is, Dragon Bludvist heir" Eret says behind her.
"I said leave, all of you" the night fury repeated as the night fury growled as his rider got on his back on, Fishlegs watched as they off flying back the way they were coming from, Astrid looked and saw two other dragons flying towards the ship, instantly she knew it was Stoick an Gobber on their own dragons.
Stoick saw the ship as it was in sight but wasn't expecting a dragon to fly past him on a unknown dragon, the second they past each other both chief and rider looked at each other until they pasted each other, both Stoick and Gobber stopped their dragons looking back as the other rider disappeared from sight into the oncoming flog, to the chief of Berk something deep in down in him felt like that rider was familiar but there was something else that he couldn't place it, turning his head back, he and Gobber flew down to the ship seeing Astrid and the other riders he be having a few words with them all.
