I'm back on the defenders of Berk story. And after which I'll get started on the race around the edge and beast wars.

Intro: The Screaming death opens its eyes and breaths fire as the Autobots in vehicle mode and Dragon Rider drive and fly out of the flames, Optimus Transforms into Robot mode as he and the other Autobots and Dragon Rider with Weapons. In the Autobot base the Dragon Riders and Autobot partners who transforms into vehicle mode fly/drive out into the Ground Bridge. Alvin with an axe, as Dagur on the right throws an axe, and Savage fire two crossbows, the Screaming Death rises from the background and flies towards Optimus, Hiccup and Toothless who charge, the trio and Screaming Death charge into each other Optimus punches it, DreamWorks Dragons Defenders of Berk and Hasbo Transformers Prime; Beast Hunters.

As the sun rises on Berk, in the Berk Dragon Academy a young boy named Gustolf enters the entry way of the Berk Dragon Academy. He looks around to see if they coast is clear, which is and he comes riding in on a sheep with wooden wings and a barrel with flammable substance in it.

The boy riding his sheep like a dragon in circles, but stops and says: "Uh-oh." He dismounts his sheep, and tries to literally blow out a fire but he can't and begins to panic. "Ho no. Ho no! What do we do, what do we do, what do we do?!" The sheep answers by bawing and leaving. The boy turns back to the fire which is put out by water.

Then entering the Academy is Hiccup, Snotlout on their dragons Toothless and Hookfang, along with Arcee and Bumblebee. Hiccup says to him: "Gustolf. How many times have I told you, you can't play in here?" Arcee adds: "Yeah. This isn't a place for children, this is a place for adults, teenagers, dragons and Autobots." The boy replies: "I'm not playing, I'm dragon training." He said with a smile.

Snotlout feeling somewhat responsible for this says: "Poor kid. Ever since I let him into my inner circle. He wants to be just like his hero, me." Bumblebee peeps: "(I see. So you will become a roll model. Well I say good for you.)" Snotlout appreciating the compliment replies: "Thanks Bee. And besides a roll model could be good for a boy his age." Astrid on Stormfly walks up and says: "Gross and annoying?" She crosses her arms.

Gustolf speaks on his behalf: "No a Dragon Rider." The arrogant member says to him: "Look around you kid. All of the Dragon riding positions are taken. So unless one of us kicks the bucket you're out of luck." Smokescreen says to his friend: "Come on SL, don't limited child's imagination. Nor his hopes and dreams, if he wants to be a dragon rider I'd say let him. But let's wait until he's a little bit older and can ride a dragon instead of a sheep." He said but to which Snotlout replies: "True SC. I'm just saying, none of us are gonna be dying anytime soon." He said with confidence in his voice and with a confident smile.

Later that day, Snotlout freaking out exclaims: "I'm gonna kick the bucket!" He told the other Dragon Riders and Autobots including Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, on a map that shows the location of the Northman archipelago. Hiccup says to his friend: "Snotlout do you mind? We're trying to have a Dagur meeting." Tuffnut asks regarding that phrase: "Dagur here?!" Bulkhead answers: "No we're having a meeting on how will proceed with his attacks." The twins replies: "Hooo!"

Snotlout rambles on his supposed approaching death sentence: "In the last week, I've seen three of the five sign posts of Valhalla." Everyone replies all together in annoyance: "We know!" The young Viking questions his friends: "You know? And you're just standing there, talking about Stupid Dagur? One of your bravest and most treasured warriors is about to leave this world forever!" Tuffnut says to him: "Look on the bright side. At least you'll be in eternal paradise." Arcee and Astrid whispers to themselves: "Yeah and so will we." The young man still feels like he's dying says to them: "Joke all you want about me. But what about Hookfang?" He points to his dragon, "Without him, without me for the rest of his life. It's just…" he feels sad, to which Hiccup asks his cousin: "Are you done? And besides Smokescreen will take care of him."

Snotlout turns back and replies: "Ho, not even close. Though devastated, and still in pre-mourning. Gustolf has volunteered to carry on the Snotlout legacy?" The boy says with pride: "It's an honor." Astrid asks him: "Please tell me, he's not gonna fly arounds saying 'Oy, oy, oy'." She spoke in an stoke tone predicting Snotlout's ego's phrase.

Snotlout replies to her words: "That's a good idea. Gustolf make a note of that." The leader of the Dragon Riders says to him: "Snotlout the five sign post to Valhalla is nothing but an old wife's tail." The arrogant Viking asks listing what he's seen: "Oh yeah? Than why have I seen the flying fish, the weeping rock and the singing tree." He listed three things but has four fingers up but Gustolf corrects them by pulling down his hero's arm and make three finger sign.

Fishlegs answers: "You probably saw a salmon spawning, a wet rock and a gust of wind." Ratchet in agreement with his human ally: "That's the only logical explanation. It's simple science." Astrid points out: "And besides, the five sign post of Valhalla is suppose to happen to great warriors." Snotlout believes himself as a great warrior says to the female warrior: "Obviously. What's your point?" Hiccup still trying to reassure him: "Even it were true, which is not. You can't just pick someone to replace you." Snotlout argues: "Well you guys throughout my original plan." Astrid speaks of his plan in question: "To bury Hookfang alive beside you?" Smokescreen points out the flaw in that: "I've heard some cultures on this planet, does the exact same thing only with their personal pets like cats or something. But we don't do that sort of thing here." He spoke his mind.

Snotlout walks over to his dragon and says: "He would've gladly sacrifice himself for his beloved master. Trust me." The Monstrous Nightmare wakes up, tail whips Snotlout sending flying towards Hiccup's feet.

Hiccup still trying to be the voice of reason: "Ok, let's just say for argument sake, you've seen three of the five sign post. That doesn't mean anything they're only two left." Ratchet states from his years of medical history: "Even if so, you can't just drop dead. You need to have either a weak heart beat, organs shutting down." Then a chicken drops dead from out of nowhere in front everyone which frightens Snotlout. Snotlout says fearfully seeing the dead poultry: "Oh no. Oh no! The fourth sign post! The bird of death!" The Autobots groan in annoyance, Hiccup kneels down and says: "It's not the bird of death. It's just a dead chicken, it's not the same thing. Right guys?" Tuffnut and Ruffnut answers speaking at the same time: " sure it is. Definitely, bird of death."

Snotlout says to the young boy Gustolf: "We're on tho clock little man. We're starting your training immediately." He said as he knocks on the boy's helmet gaining his attention.

Hiccup heavily sighs and says: "Fine! The rest of us have to keep an eye on Outcast Island. While we're gone, try not to take anyone else with you to eternal paradise." He said as they leave, to which Snotlout replies: "I make no promises." He simply answers.

On Outcast Island's territory, as the Dragon Riders flies in low and fast, Optimus says through the comlink: "Alright, you're come closer to Outcast boarders. I advice you to land close to the island but still out of sight." Hiccup answers: "Copy that." They land on a tiny island distancing themselves from the main island.

Hiccup pulls out his magnifying glass but when he tries to get a clear view it's blocked by trees. Hiccup says in annoyance: "Ah! I can't get a good look." He said openly, Astrid speaks as she lowers her magnifying glass: "Well they're building something. And I'm guessing it's not good." She said of what they're constructing.

Ruffnut openly speaks: "Well I say we blow it up." Tuffnut agreeing with his twin sister: "I say, that's the best idea I've heard all week." The two head-butted but Hiccup says to them: "Uh Tuff, we've been over this; we don't shoot first and ask questions later. Besides Optimus gave us specific orders, to do recon. We are not meant to engage." Tuffnut replies to his leader: "Of course we never asks questions." The young Viking prince says: "Well keep an eye on it. If it's something we have to worry about." He said looking back into his magnifying glass, the male twin leans in and questions/finishes the sentence: "We blow it up?" Hiccup rolls his eyes in annoyance of the twin's methods.

Back at the Berk Dragon Academy where Snotlout is trining his new successor Gustolf: "Ok. Pay attention Gustolf. This is a Monstrous Nightmare, The most lethal dragon in the known world." He explains regarding the dragon that is Hookfang, he walks to the dragon who lowers its head, "Not just anybody can handle these bad boys."

The young protégé, reaches his hand out but he's stopped by Snotlout smacking his hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't recall saying you can touch him. Did I say that?" The boy replies hesitates to answers right away: "Uh…no?" Snotlout with his hands behind his back continues to speak: "First thing we have to cover; is the proper way to mount a dragon. This has to be done in a way The dragon knows exactly who the boss is." He mounts on his dragon literally by jumping, then the dragon flies around the arena.

The boy being overconfident replies: "Yeah, yeah I got this." He rushes ready to mount on the dragon but trips and somersault over. The Monstrous Nightmare picks the boy up by his vest collar and puts him on his neck. Just as the dragon flies upward he tail whips Snotlout to the floor. Snotlout says to his prodigy: "Don't get…we'll work on that." He adjust his helmet as he rises up.

In the Autobot base, Optimus, Ultra Magnus are discussing about Dagur ruling over the Outcast, Decepticons Breakdown and Dreadwing. Ultra Magnus standing at an attention with his arms behind him says: "Sir, how do you think Hiccup's recon is fairing now?" Optimus Prime answers: "I believe it is going well. Now let me ask; how's Snotlout doing?" The second-in-command replies: "He's still training his 'student' to replace him when he seemingly dies. Still such primitive life forms." Optimus says to his friend: "Old friend, we cannot judge them being a primitive culture. Whether Snotlout believes he'll die even though the others points out that's an old myth." The Autobot commander agrees with his leader: "True. It does appear that there's some humans who developed common sense." The Autobot leader nods in understanding.

Later that day facing a sundial to tell the time of day. Snotlout sounds like a drill sergeant says yelling to Gustolf: "EYES FRONT RECUIT! Pay attention to everything I say." He spoke normally at the end of his sentence. Gustolf acting like a soldier replies: "Sir yes sir!" The rest of the Dragon Riders who've returned from their recon and the rest of Team Prime watches from the outer rings, Fishlegs says to the group: "This should go well." He felt he was gonna get a giggle out of this. WheelJack says in agreement: "I have ten grenades says that kid's gonna get his tailpipes burned." Tuffnut and Ruffnut enters the group, the brother questions: "We're not to late, are we?" Astrid answers: "Nope. Just about to get interesting." Bumblebee and Smokescreen can't help but giggle even Bee can't stop himself as he peeps.

Tuffnut says in relief: "Ho, thank goodness. I hate missing violence." He spoke as Arcee sat behind the twins with her legs crossed. Snotlout still acting like a drill sergeant says: "A Monstrous Nightmare in the hands of a capable rider, Ala me! Is a weapon of unmatched firepower. T must be treated with the utmost…" Before he could finish his sentence, the dragon breathes fire, but Snotlout ducks at the last second, then it turns to the arena walls.

Everyone took cover to avoid getting burned. They raise their heads to see how is it going now. "We'll work on that recruit. Was that fun for you?" He asks his dragon who answers by breathing fire at him, but Snotlout still manages to avoid the hit. He grunts in frustration as the dragon continues to be a pain in the rear.

The day passes as the sundial follows the setting sun. Later the teaching Viking and his student both carrying a couple of fish, "Okay Gustolf, feeding time is bonding time for a dragon and it's rider. This is how we bond." He adjust his helmet and throws the fish. "Hookfang eat!" The dragon complies willingly eats the fish, as Snotlout lowers his guard, the dragon spits out the fish eating the middle meat, but not the tail fin and head and bones. "You're up kid, bring the heat!" The boy with confidence says: "Hookfang, eat!" He trips while throwing the fish, which lands on Snotlout's helmet to which the dragon bites down on the upper torso of Snotlout to get the fish, he hoist the whole teenager up, Snotlout lout muffling says: "OK, we'll work on that!"

The day passes to the point of the sun settling, "I know it's going to be hard on you all. When I'm no longer here. Especially for you Astrid." She rolls her eyes. "And Smokescreen, we had us some great times didn't we?" To which the Autobot elite says to him: "We sure have buddy. I've gotta say it's been one sweet ride." Acree walks up to him and smack him in the head and whispers: "What are you doing? You can't honestly believe he's gonna suddenly drops dead." Smokescreen whispery answers: "True. But at least he's being a whole lot nicer." The female Autobot couldn't deny that. Snotlout continues: "But I don't want any tears. I want you to remember me with joy in your hearts." He said with his voice cracking at the end of his sentence. "So, think of all the good times we had together." He scratches his rear end in public as he speaks. "It is by the power vested in me. That I pass on the Hookfang horns to Gustolf. Go with Thor, little man. For he will watch over you with lighting bolts and a giant hammer." He stopped scratching and Noble spoke to his successor as if he was truly a warrior of honor.

The young boy mounts on Hookfang taking the horns, Hiccup no longer playing along says as he turns around to Snotlout saying: "OK, this is gone on long enough. First of all; You are not dying!" He burst out, but the young Viking warrior raises his hand telling him to shh and says: "Hiccup, it's okay. Denial is part of the grieving process." Hiccup continues to speak: "Second of all; no vested you with any power!" Tuffnut adds in agreement as he sits on a barrel: "No one."

Hiccup still speaks as his annoyance grows: "And even if they did." The male twin still adds in agreement: "Which they didn't." The Viking prince walks up to his cousin and still speaks: "Gustolf is no way ready to be a member of this academy." Tuffnut still agrees: "No way." Fishlegs adds in complete agreement: "That's correct Hiccup. There's more to dragon riding than feeding it and getting on its back." Astrid points out the flaws of Gustolf: "Neither of which he can do anyway." Wheeljack completes the conversation: "Yes, he needs months if not years of training. Besides he can't needs to do more, like bond with the dragon mentally and physically." He states of the training requirements the young boy needs.

Snotlout points out the flaws for everyone: "None of us are perfect, except for me. Fishlegs is afraid of heights, Ratchet is a bit of a grump old medical man, the twins can't count pass nine, Bulkhead is a clumsy brute, Astrid and Arcee have obviously anger issues." He states as he puts his hand on Astrid's shoulder pad armor. To which she gives him the stare, to that he turns to Hiccup, Bumblebee, Smokescreen, WheelJack he feels like he wants to point out their flaws but he chooses not. "Well enough said." He leaves.

Bumblebee beeps: "(you know he had an opportunity to insult us an appoint at all of our flaws. I guess he chose not to.)" Smokescreen says openly: "I guess in his delusion of dying he chooses not to, out of either respect or humility." WheelJack finishes: "Or both. Either way Snotlout is nice." He states about Snotlout lack of insulting words meaning, Hiccup just groans in annoyance.

The anticipating dying Viking walks to the young female warrior and says to her: "Oh Astrid, what could have been." She grabs his arms and bends it as bones pop, "I won't feel pain in Valhalla." He grinds as she lets him go.

Hiccup now totally frustration says: "Snotlout for the last time, you are not going to Valhalla!" Tuffnut yells: "Run away sheep!" He stood at the entryway of the academy as a small flock of sheep runs into the academy towards Snotlout.

Fishlegs says seeing the flock sheep: "The Shepard's curse. That's…" Astrid finishes the sentence: "The fifth sign post?" She was in shock of seeing this, Hiccup says as he face palms himself: "Oh, this can't be happening." Smokescreen confused by the sheep says: "Hu, I'm not a superstitious bot. But this has to mean something bad." He stated as he rubs his chin, while Bumblebee face palms himself.

Snotlout screams as the sheep smother him to the ground, he yells: "Avenge me! Have lamb for dinner!" He said with one arm raised up before passing out.

Time passed, one of the sheep licks Snotlout's face as he wakes up, seeing the sheep, as well as Hiccup and Astrid, he stands up and asks: "This is Valhalla? What a rip off!" He yells angrily and disappointed, Hiccup walks to him and answers: "Nope, still Berk. You fainted." But Snotlout still believes in the curse, says: "More proof, that my warrior's body is failing me! I don't have much time. Hiccup you have to let Gustolf take my place." The Viking prince says to his cousin still denying him: "Gustolf is not taking your place. He's not ready." Gustolf says to Hiccup: "Well train me anyway. Is that what you do here? I thought this was a dragon training academy." Hiccup turns to the boy and says to him: "Well Gustolf, this academy was born out of timing and necessity." He explained till Tuffnut walks up.

Tuffnut says openly: "I thought Stoick and Optimus gave it to us. And said it was some dragon training academy." The peg-leg teenager says to the male twin: "That's not helping." He turns back to Gustolf, "Gistolf we learn to be dragon riders the only way we knew how. It was dangerous, foolhardy…" Ruffnut steps in and interrupts: "And awesome!" He pushes her aside and says: "Still not helping." Astrid and Bumblebee steps in, the female warrior says to the little boy: "What Hiccup is trying to say Gustolf is, you need experience." Bumblebee beeping adds: "(Yes, you can't just simply, hop on a dragon and expect to be a rider.)." The Viking boy didn't understand the beeps but Arcee stands up and translated the whole sentence exactly.

Fishlegs steps in and finishes: "The rider need experience, the dragon needs experience and the rider and the dragon needs experience together." He crosses his fingers to simplify the meaning. Gustolf rubs his chin and says: "Experience, hu?" The boy leave the academy, Bumblebee openly questions: "(Why do I have a feeling that boy's gonna get himself hurt?)". The Autobot elite and head scout knows the feeling, Arcee says: "Knowing that kid, he's gonna go out and search for a dragon of his own." Smokescreen adds in the form of a question: "Didn't Hiccup did the same with Toothless?" They turn to the Autobot elite with a serious look, "What? What did I say?" He raises his arms up like questioning form.

Snotlout walks up to his dragon Hookfang and says to him: "Sorry Hookfang, I guess this means we're back to plan one." He turns to the twins and Autobot heavy member, "Ruff, Tuff, Bulk start digging." The dragon walks up to his rider and smoke breaths through his snout in Snotlout's face which causes him to glare at the stubborn dragon. Smokescreen says to him: "Snotlout this is all in your head. Go to Ratchet, I'm sure he can help you." The Viking listens to his Autobot friend, and does it.

At the Autobot base in Ratchet's lab, he does some tests on Snotlout.

He lifts weights weighing 50 pounds showing he still has his regular strength, he runs at acceptable speed, then Ratchet examines his internal systems.

In the end Snotlout stood in front of Ratchet and asks: "So tell me Ratchet. What does it say? How long do I have left?" Ratchet says to him: "Well Snotlout, your test results shows that you're. You're completely healthy, if anything you're as healthy as a horse." But Snotlout still disbelieves in it and says: "You're just saying that to make me feel better. I know my time is limited." But the Autobot medic replies: "No Snotlout. I'm being most sincere when I say you're healthy. if anything got another 20 or 30 years left at least." But the teenage Viking says as he leaves: "No Ratchet, your magical boxes may say I'm good. But I know I'm dying. So fair well." He leaves the base as Ratchet groans and says openly nobody listening: "Why do people comes the doctors when they don't wanna listen to the results? when I tell them that they're healthy, they think they're dying. My name tell them that they're dying they thinking there's nothing wrong. Why do we even bother?" He finishes as he walks away

In the forest, with nothing but a bag and a satchel wonders in searching for something. He climbs stone steps, lerk through bushes, he stops to see two small dragons play fighting and says: "Terrible Terrors. Whatever." He sounded not interested in them, which catches their attention, then they began to chase him which he screams and runs for his life.

He hides underneath a rock seeing another dragon, "Deadly Nadder. No too spiky." He said as the Dragon unleashes his tail and launches its spikes at the boy who moves away without being hit.

As he continues his search for a dragon, unknown to him Arcee was following him, she says in her mind: 'I'll say this, this kid isn't choosing recklessly. He knew the Terrible Terrors were too small and can be easily provoked. The Nadder was as he say too spiky. I just hope he doesn't run into…' she stops when she and Gustolf sees a flame of fire shooting upwards.

He looks pass a couple of stones to see a Monstrous Nightmare with a dark brown mix with maroon color and black spots chasing a wild pig. Gustolf says repeating the words Snotlout used: "The Monstrous Nightmare, the most lethal dragon in the known world." He slowly creeps up behind it as it feasts on the pig, "Not just anybody can ride these bad boys." He repeats Arcee face palms herself thinking this will end badly. "I'm not just anybody." He spoke as he jumps, which catches the attention of the dragon who widen his eyes and turns to see the little Viking boy. It ignites itself sending Gustolf flying backwards into a tree.

As the Dragon walks over to the boy, Arcee jumps and says: "Hey! Over here you lizard with wings!" She aims her laser weapons Gustolf says: "Uh, Arcee?" The female bot turns to him and questions: "What were you thinking? You think you can just mount on a dragon and ride like a pony?!" The boy answers: "Not exactly how I put it, but in principles kinda?" He gives a so-so hand signal to which she questions again: "So is that a so-so? So you were so-so I thinking you can mount a dragon and ride like a horse, that sounds terrible." She stated her opinion then, the Dragon starts smelling something, he turns to the satchel.

Gustolf reveals he has a fish in his bag, this catches the flying fire reptile's attention. Gustolf frighteningly says: "Okay, feeding time is bonding time." He stands up, "Bond with this." He throws the fish into the dragon's face, which Arcee groans and says openly: "Are you kidding me? Throwing a piece of fish into a Monstrous Nightmare's face? Do you wish to go to Valhalla this early in life?"

He didn't know how to respond, but the dragon now is angry and growls at the boy who simply says: "Uh-ho." The dragon chases after him as he runs and screams, as Arcee chases after him.

In the Berk Dragon Academy Hiccup says to the entire group: "Okay. We're going to need a diversion. To get a closer look at whatever Dagur is building." Optimus speaks pointing to the map: "We can have Smokescreen and WheelJack place explosives on the south end of the island." Snotlout speaks up: "Great plan Optimus, but I was thinking the flaming funeral pyre on my flaming funeral pyre ship should do the trick." He said confidently.

In the center is Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Bulkhead digging a hole but stop poking their heads up, Tuffnut questions: "Wait, I thought we were burying you." He scoffs in irritation, "(Scoff) I'll start gathering wood." Ruffnut also annoyed says: "And I'll start gathering…pyres." Bulkhead says fully annoyed: "And I'll just fill up this hole. Do you have any idea how long it took us to build this hole? You can't just go, 'you know on second thought I want to be burned instead of buried. No mind of carrying for my friends hard work'. No, the reality, the real reality is that you take us for granted and you think we're doormats." He felt insulted that he and the twins work was going to wasted.

Then a roar heard, they turn to see a Monstrous Nightmare flying in and with Gustolf riding it until it stops and knocked him off landing in front of Snotlout. He quickly gets back up and says: "I hu, I meant to do that." He said with his hands on his hips and with a small smile.

Tuffnut puzzled and shocked by this asks: "Is it just me, or did a tiny little Snotlout and Hookfang just fly in?" The wild dragon roams around the arena he knocks the twins back in the pit. The other dragons didn't seem to like the new uncontrollable dragon, Toothless even roars at it a bit.

Hiccup asks the young boy: "Gustolf, what are you doing here?" Bumblebee also asks: "(And what's the deal with that dragon?)". Gustolf answers: "Well you said, you didn't have time to train me. So I…" Arcee enters and finishes his sentence: "Found his own dragon that tried to kill him after throwing a fish in its face, thinking it'll eat it like a trained dog." She explain then transforms into robot mode and stretches. "I've been chasing them all day, until mini-Snotlout-wanna-be some how jumped on this dragon's neck and began to ride it." She finishes stretching.

The little Viking boy continues: "Yeah, there were a few bumps in the process. But I managed to trained myself." He said with confidence, but the leader says to him: "Gustolf, I'm not so sure, we have the definition of 'Train'." Optimus agrees with Hiccup: "Hiccup's right. Your dragon isn't exactly like the others, who are domesticated." He said still seeing the dragon unfamiliar with the group and Autobots.

Snotlout on the other hand is proud his student's accomplishments: "Look how he defies authority. Hm. I taught him well. Now I can go in peace." Smokescreen says also feeling some pride: "Yes, you did train your student in your arts. You passed on your knowledge, and one day so will he. Pass on what he as learned." Astrid sarcastically says to him: "Quit getting my hopes up."

Gustolf says introductions: "Fellow Dragon Riders and Team Prime. I like you to meet my dragon, Fanghook." The newest member walks over to the Night Fury and older and bigger Monstrous Nightmare. But Hookfang roars at the young dragon who crept away and hides behind Bumblebee, which confuses the Autobot scout.

Snotlout questions his student's choice in naming: "Fanghook? Are you serious? Don't you have any respect for authority?" Arcee with a stoke expression on her face asks him: "Seriously? You were proud a moment go, now you question him for no respect for authority." She said to the assuming dying Viking.

The Viking Prince walks up to the boy and says: "Gustolf, there's more to being a dragon rider, than riding a dragon. You have to, form a bond. A friendship." Optimus Prime walks up and says in agreement: "Hiccup's right. You and the dragon must be like soul connected." Gustolf still trying to prove himself says to them: "We have it! Test us, I'll prove it."

In the hole, Tuffnut chants: "Test him! Test him!" He chants as he and his sister raises their arms in the air. The boy tries mounts on his dragon but the dragon is proving to be difficult even running away just as he climbs in the back leg.

Fishlegs walks up to Hiccup and whispers: "You know, it might not be the worst idea." He said with a wicked smirk, but Hiccup disagrees and replies: "No, I'm pretty sure it is, the worst idea." Fishlegs still whispers: "Think about it. Look at Snotlout, maybe he needs to se how easily he can be replaced." Smokescreen overhears this and agrees with Fishlegs: "You know FL is right. Snotlout is a lot of things; he's egotistical, sometimes vain, arrogant, and most of all prideful. once his pride is wounded, who referred back to his normal self instead of relying on superstitious nonsense." Astrid aside from Smokescreen's words but more interested in Fishlegs who points out the replacing Snotlout says: "Aside from Smokescreen, Fishlegs words are enough said." She said as they watch the young boy climbs up his Monstrous Nightmare's back then jumps only to be hanging by his arms on the neck.

Hiccup seeing both Fishlegs and Smokescreen's point of view, so to get Snotlout out of the superstition he goes along. Hiccup says playing along: "You know what Gustolf? You're absolutely right." He said which catches both Snotlout and Gustolf's attention, especially Snotlout's who questions his cousin: "Wow, wow, wow! He is?" The Viking Prince says: "Yes, he is." Toothless walks up to his rider, who gives him a signal pointing to the ground, where Toothless fires at it creating a small black dust on the ground. "Let's see you do a lap around the arena and land on this mark." He said as he draws an x with his foot on the black dust Toothless made.

Gustolf says to his dragon: "Alright Fanghook, fire it up!" The two get to work. Fishlegs says trying to bruise Snotlout's ego: "Mmm. Quite the stirring battle cry." Snotlout plays it off like he doesn't care: "Hey it's alright." Arcee adds salt to the wound: "Are you sure? One moment he was basically name is dragon after yours but in reverse version. Danny steals your battle cry. what else do you think he's going to steal?" This hurt him a bit.

The dragon and his boy flies into the arena wall, but they brush it off, turns around, all while Gustolf laughs, he returns to the other riders and Autobots, Bumblebee beeping shout: "(In coming!)." They jump out of the way, they flew over them and the wall map, and crash into the other end of the arena, they watched but closed their eyes. Smokescreen says as if he felt it: "Oh! That's gonna leave a mark!"

As the dragon was tired and hurt, Gustolf jump out exclaim with his arms in the air: "Dragon Rider!" Hiccup acting impressed says: "Wow! That was pretty good." Snotlout questions Hiccup: "Pretty good?! Are you kidding me?!" Tuffnut walks up and asks: "Is anyone else tired of listening to Snotlout's ghost?" The muscular Viking says to the male twin: "Hey, I'm not dead yet." Ruffnut says to him: "You're dead to us." Bulkhead adds in agreement: "Especially to me." He said still mad about the digging a hole but Snotlout changed his mind.

Next we see Hiccup setting up some Outcast target dummies, he says to Toothless: "Ok bud, show us how it's done." The Night Fury plasma shoots all three targets down easily. Gustolf picks up one of the dummies and says: "Fire it up!" The dragon fires but almost hits the twins, Bumblebee, Astrid, Smokescreen and Gustolf who dodges at the last second as the shot hits the cage door. Toothless roars at Fanghook for almost hitting the others.

As Hiccup helps Gustolf up, Snotlout walks up and says: "Weak sauce. You didn't even hit anything." Hiccup disagreeably says: "Well that's not quite true." He said as they see a flaming she run with it wool on fire. Snotlout sarcastically says: "Bravo! We're all set for the next sheep rebellion." Tuffnut walks up and says openly: "And next time we'll win."

The young Viking growing more annoyed says: "Ok, if you guys are really set on him, replacing me…" Astrid interrupts: "We're just following the last wishes of a legendary warrior." Smokescreen adds: "Yeah you can't hate us for following orders. Or kill us for following orders." Tuffnut adds: "Besides no need to replace you. You're already gone." He jokes as he places his hand on Snotlout's and laughs, only to be punched him in the stomach, sending him into his sister then he says through the pain: "I really…I really thought that was gonna go through him. You know, and I be able tickle his back." He said holding his stomach.

The Viking turns to his student, leans down to his level but slightly above him and says: "Let's how he does on one of our obstacle courses." He confidently said about the boy's inexperience.

In the forest, Hiccup, Gustolf along with their dragons flew over it, Hiccup says to the boy: "Okay, on this course you start at those big pines and then you…" Snotlout interrupts him saying mockingly: "And then you bla,blab,bla! If you think your good kid, you'll keep up with me. Fire it up!" He and Hookfang swoop down as he regains his arrogance and confidence back. Gustolf says to him: "Hey! You stole my battle cry!"

As the boastful Viking and his fire class dragon goes through trees and rocks, Snotlout says to his protégé: "Snotlout school is in session Gustolf! Something tells me, you're about to be expelled!" As they fly under two fallen logs over a couple of stones, Gustolf is having trouble keeping up with the more experienced dragon rider, but says to him: "Hey! Dead mam talking! I'm on you like a eel on a three-legged…" Before he could finish his sentence he hits a tree limb. Snotlout turns and returns to him, where Gustolf is hanging by said tree limb.

As Snotlout and Hookfang lands in from of him, and says to Gustolf: "You get a G. As in fail!" He clearly didn't know how to spell, as the younger Viking hanged he looses his grip and falls.

Back at the academy, Gustolf was unconscious so Astrid throws a bucket of water on him. Ruffnut says to her: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't throw water! Tiny Snotlout will just shrink some more. Duh!" She said, then WheelJack walks up and says: "I don't think that's how it works. I'm pretty sure only a few things shrink in water. Humans ain't one of them."

As Gustolf rubs his eyes, he asks: "How did I do?" Snotlout says as he scratches his rear end in public: "Well, you lasted about 2 seconds." Hiccup says point out: "But hey those two seconds were awesome." Bumblebee beeps: "(Yeah, the shortest time to do awesome things record.)" Astrid also comments: "Yeah, I gotta admit you're gonna make a great replacement for Snotlout, Gustolf." Snotlout questions openly: "Says who?" He stops scratching for a second and begins to think. "Wait a second, you're trying to convince me I'm not dying."

Smokescreen whispers to Arcee and Bulkhead: "Shoot! He's through our plan." Arcee with are hands on her hips says: "I'm surprised it took them this long to figure it out." Bulkhead questions his friend: "By that are you surprised that it took him longer or shorter?" The female Autobot answers: "That it took this short amount of time." Just then Optimus and Ratchet enters the arena.

Snotlout says to Optimus: "Can you believe these people? Try to convince me I'm not dying. What kind of friends are they?" Hiccup with his arms crossed says to him: "Look, Snotlout maybe you have seen the five sign post of Valhalla. And maybe you're going to die some day." He said to his cousin who is violently scratching his buttocks, "And maybe you could stop scratching your butt while I'm talking to you." Optimus Prime says to Snotlout in agreement with Hiccup: "Indeed. Scratching your tailpipe in public is very rude." He spoke to the Viking teenager.

Snotlout says while scratching: "Sorry. It's just all this broad grass in my shorts." The Viking Prince asks: "And your shorts are full with broad grass, why?" The buff Viking replies in the form of a question: "More importantly why aren't yours? The twins tell me prevent saddle chafing." They all turn to the twin who have a awkward look on their faces. Ratchet pulls up his scanner on his arm: "Snotlout this also explain my other notes on your physical of why you also been having a rash on your tail pipe."

Hiccup notice this and says: "Oh they did, didn't they? They also let the sheep in. Sheep love broad grass. And I'm guessing you're the ones who dropped the bird of death." He says to them as he, Optimus and Ratchet close in on them, Ruffnut tries to play innocent as she and Tuffnut awkwardly smile: "We have no idea what you're talking about." Just then a couple of chickens lands in their hands. They look up to see barf and belch dropping more chickens into the arena.

The two siblings run as they carry one pair of chickens as the others follows them. Snotlout says realizing this: "Ah! Oh. I get it, so this means." He stops to think about it for a second, "I give up." Arcee whispers sarcastically: "What a shocker." Astrid explains: "It means the twins were messing with you." Bulkhead adds: "Obviously. The twins have a knack for making trouble. You know this." The Buff Viking says: "Right. Right." Still don't know what this means, until Hiccup finally snaps shouts: "YOU'RE NOT DYING!"

Snotlout overcome with joy: "I'm alive? I'M ALVE!" He was delighted,he kisses his and rubs his face, "Thank you, thank you, thank you Thor." He continues to kiss himself, "Snotlout's too beautiful to die anyway." Astrid and Arcee were disgusted, the female Viking says: "And my lunch is in in throat." Thinking she was going to vomit.

Gustolf confused asks: "Wait. So does this mean I won't be in the academy?" They turn around to face him. "I just wanted to be a dragon rider so bad." Snotlout says to him: "On one hand; I sympathize with your ruthless devotion to your goal." The boy asks his idol: "On the other hand?" The teenager doesn't respond with words but literally tosses the boy him out of the academy, which Fanghook follow him. But Snotlout chases after the twins for making him believe he was dying, as Stoick enters the arena.

Stoick says to Hiccup: "Son. We need to talk, Trader Johan just got back from Outcast Island. He overheard Dagur saying his going to test fire some kind of new weapon." Astrid realizing what her chief meant by: "That must be what we saw him building." Hiccup says to his father: "I'll take a couple of riders along with Bee and Arcee, and we'll get w closer look tonight." Stoick replies to him: "Okay, but don't engage the enemy. This is a scouting mission, not a battle mission." Optimus Prime turns to the two scouts of Team Prime: "That goes the same for you. If you run into any danger, take them out silently and without alerting the others." The two Autobots salute and replies: "Yes sir! (Yes sir!)"

Unknown to everyone Gustolf overhears them as well. Gustolf whispers to Fanghook: "They may not engage the enemy. But we will Fanghook. And then they'll have to let us in." He said so exciting wanting to prove himself. He laughs in excitement, Fanghook bites down on Gustolf lifting him up without harming him or swallowing him as they move forward.

Later that night at Outcast Island, the Dragon Riders and Autobots kept their distance and hid in the shadows. Hiccup looking through the spyglass says: "There are a lot of a Berserkers down there." Arcee using her optic scanners to zoom in, and says: "Yeah. Whatever they're constructing they don't want to reveal it yet. But I bet Dagur's growing impatient, being mentally unstable and all." Bumblebee asks: "(So what's our diversion?)". The blonde female Viking on the Deadly Nadder answers: "Allow me." She and Stormfly flies up into the sky.

On a ledge a Berserker guard was sleeping on the job until Astrid calls out: "Yu-ho!" He quickly wakes up and he sounds an alarm and chases her. "That's right, follow me boys!" The whole Berserker warriors armed with weapons chases after her.

Dagur emerges from his room and asks: "What is it? What is going on?!" Savage and Dreadwing standing side to side, Savage says: "A single Dragon Rider has been sighted. Heading west." The Berserker chief with a crazy smile asks: "Was it the Night Fury?" The Outcast second in command answers: "No sir. It was the girl." Dagur turns around and knows Astrid, and even wickedly smiles.

Hiccup lowers his spyglass and says to the team: "Astrid drawn them far enough away. Let's get down there and see what Dagur's up to." The Dragon Rider flies to the island while the Autobots swim.

Out on lookout with a horn, Savage hears the Night Fury roars and says to his leader: "Dragon rider, deadhead!" The Berserkers armed with crossbows ready to fight, but Dagur stops them and says: "Nobody move! This one is mine. You're so predictable, Hiccup." Spoke about his former friend's plan. As the two Viking teens rode on their dragons, elsewhere Bumblebee and Arcee reaches the shore. With no guards or traps, they continue forward. But then web shoots came almost hitting them.

They look up to see Arachnid hiding in the shadows, she says to the two Autobots: "Well, Arcee and Bumblebee. I knew you'd two would come to see Dagur's new toy." Arcee glares at she-spider-bot and says: "Arachnid." She lands in front of them in spider like form, and says to them: "So are we going to stand here, or are we gonna fight?"

They all charge, Arcee using her forearm blades and Bee using his blasters. Even though Arachnid dodges the blaster shots and blades, she retaliates with her webs blocking Bee's guns. But while she did block his weapons he transforms them back into hands, he jumps on her. The two roll down a hill side he punches her in the face than headbutts her. He then gets her into headlock, Arcee jumps into the air and punches her so hard she falls into unconsciousness. The two bots fist-bump and continue the mission.

As for the two Dragon Riders who are flying in low and fast, as for Dagur and the four other Berserkers who hid under the secret weapon. Dagur orders his men: "Hold, hold steady. Now!" He exclaims as Savage blows the horn then barrage of flaming arrows shoot upwards and started to go down.

Hiccup sees the arrows and exclaims: "Ho no, it's a trap!" Just then Gustolf and Fanghook comes flying in, while the boy hangs by the Monstrous Nightmare's neck, the Berserkers started firing at the boy.

Dagur openly questions: "Who in the name of Thor is that?" He points to the boy in question.

Snotlout also questions but knows who it is: "Gustolf?!" Hiccup sarcastically says: "Oh great!"

Then Gustolf climbs back on his dragon and orders him: "Fanghook evasive maneuver!" The dragon listens and dodges all the arrows by loop de loop thing in the sky.

The enemy brings in the secret weapon which reveals to be a large catapult with two giant spike shields on it. They launched it, but Dagur says to them: "No!" They launched a net at the Viking boy and his Monstrous Nightmare, Gustolf says seeing the net: "Uh ho." They are caught in the net and brought down.

Dagur angrily says to his men: "Save it for Hiccup! I want that Night Fury! And where in Odin's pantaloons is Arachnid when I need her?!" He asks to which the soldiers didn't know where.

As the two experienced Dragon Riders hid, Snotlout says not caring about the boy: "Okay, that solves the Gustolf problem. Interested in the lamb dinner on the way home?" To which Hiccup replies in the form of a question: "Are you…Snotlout, we have to save him!" Bee asks beeps: "(Save who?)". They turn and look down to see the two Autobot scouts, and Hiccup answers: "It's Gustolf. He followed us here." Arcee says in annoyed tone: "Why don't that boy ever listen?" Bumblebee also annoyed beeps: "(He's just like Hiccup, when he went searching for Toothless.)". They rush to help the boy.

As Berserker and Outcast warriors armed with spears aims at the captured dragon and boy, then the Dragon Riders and Autotbots comes in to save him. Dagur orders his men: "Now!" The warriors rotates the secret weapon and launches another net this time at Snotlout and Hookfang only to be shot by Toothless plasma shot. The Vikings, dragons and Autobots all begins to retaliate the Berserkers and Outcasts who are now retreating.

Hiccup and Toothless hovers over the battlefield, Hiccup says to Toothless: "Fire it up!"

Gustolf angrily says to Hiccup: "For the last time! That's my battle cry!" To which the Viking prince replies: "I know! Now use it!" The boy says to his dragon: "Fanghook! Fire it up!" The younger Monstrous Nightmare does light himself freeing himself and Gustolf from the net, the boy was panicking and mounts on his dragon. "Let's get out of here!"

As the boy and dragon retreats, while the prince and black as night dragon were distracted, Dagur's secret weapon was now aiming at them. The mentally unstable chief evilly laughs as they launch capturing both Hiccup and Toothless. Dagur yells in excitement: "Gotcha!"

Snotlout calls out to his cousin: "I'm on my way Hiccup!" Bumblebee beeps: "(As are we!)". They turn to see Gustolf and Fanghook fleeing, Snotlout stops him and angrily says: "Come on Gustolf! We're going down there!" The boy protests: "No way! I'm getting out of here!" The older teenager says to his former protégé: "You're not going anywhere! You want an experience, this is how you get it!" Gustolf says to his teacher in fear: "I don't know, Snotlout! I don't think I can do this!" Arcee says to him: "Listen here you little whiner! You can either stand and fight and die like a warrior, or run away home back to mommy like a coward! You'll forever carry the scar failure, and Cowardliness and you'll disgrace your family's name!" She said to the boy in a very angry tone of voice.

Snotlout says in agreement with Arcee: "She's right! And you better listen to me kid, you're flying a Monstrous Nightmare! The most lethal dragon in the known world! You can do it and will do!"

The boy looks down seeing Hiccup and Toothless surrounded by the enemy warriors.

Gustolf says with confidence in his voice: "You know what? I will do it!" Bumblebee beeps: "(Good! Now drop your nuts and grab your butts!)". This confused everyone and Arcee simply says: "Leave the battle cries to The professionals buddy."

As Dagur walks towards Hiccup and Toothless with a evil/crazy smile even giggles in victory a bit. As he raises his sword to finish the job of killing Toothless, both Snotlout and Gustolf yells: "Fire it up!" They look to see them and the Autobots charging in, breathing fire and shooting blaster shots, causing the enemy warriors to escape. Dagur stood his ground until he's swiped by Gustolf and Fanghook.

Toothless manages to removes the net and Hiccup mounts on his dragon, soon all the two cousins and tag along and two Autobots regoup, Hiccup says to his dragon: "Toothless, fire." They all shoot at the secret weapon destroying it, while the soldiers manning it retreats.

Bumblebee beeps: "(Ratchet, we need a Groundbridge asap!)". With no hesitation a Groundbridge opens allowing the Autobots, Dragon Riders and even as Dagur watches he says in a crack sobbing voice: "My plan was perfect. I had the Night Fury in my clutches! Why didn't it work? (Sobbing) Why, why, why?" Savage says guessing why: "Uh sir? I think the problem may have been…in the um…the execution." Dagur quickly changes his expression from sad to evil smile and asks: "Execution? Did somebody say execution?" He pulls out his sword. "Now we're getting somewhere." They all walked away in fear, but then Arachnid enders from behind and says: "Going somewhere boys? I overheard everything. And I liked the idea." They gulped in fear now, and their screams could be heard from miles away.

At the Autobot basic Gustolf was being both scolded and congratulated at the same time. Hiccup says to both Snotlout and Gustolf: "Thanks you guys. Nice shooting." Snotlout says to his cousin: "By me. His eyes were closed." He said about Gustolf's attack, to which the boy replies: "Hey it was scary!" Arcee says to him: "Yes it was. It was also dangerous, stupid and you could've got yourself killed." He lowers his head in shame. "But on the other hand you did manage to come through." She said with a smile.

The next morning at the academy, Stoick, Optimus and Ultra Magus are in the academy questioning the mission. Stoick asks: "So, there was no secret weapon being test fired?" Hiccup answers: "No, it was all a trap. Dagur must've intentionally leaked the information to Trader Johan." Stoick speaks regarding Dagur: "Ah, he's as crafty as he is crazy." Optimus Prime agreeably says: "Indeed. We should not underestimate him again. He's always going to try to find ways to lure us to him." Ultra Magnus adds: "From now on, we need to be very thorough when it comes to these new messages. Even the tiniest missed detail can through us off." Stoick finishes: "Well glad you're all safe." He leaves the academy while Optimus stays.

They turn to Gustolf who's stand by a wagon of weapons and he asks: "So, I guess I'm not in the Dragon Academy hu?" The Viking Prince along with the last Prime, the female warrior and arrogant cousin were side by side seeing the boy's sadness.

Hiccup says to him: "I'll tell you what Gustolf; how about we make you our very first junior-apprentice-auxiliary-reserve-backup-replacement-rider?" Astrid adds: "In training." Snotlout finishes with three fingers: "Fourth class." He still shows his illiteracy to either spelling or accounting. The boy exclaims in joy: "Yes!" Optimus Prime kneels down and says to him: "Now remember Gustolf. Being a dragon rider is a big responsibility. I would not put that responsibility on your shoulders at a young age, but if you're up to the challenge, you can be a great rider. And doesn't start from here." He points the head. "It starts from here." He points to his heart.

Hiccup says to the boy: "Yes, this also means you realize you have to study." The boy was still eager and replies: "Got it!" Fishlegs adds: "And clean out stalls." He said holding shovel standing next to a pile of green glowing smelling dragon poop. The boy didn't care about that: "Check!" Hiccup finishes: "And no more unauthorized dragon flying." He turns to Fanghook. "Neither of you are ready." The young monstrous nightmare lowers his head to his rider, and Gustolf says: "I understand."

In the forest, Gustolf must release the dragon back into the wild, Gustolf says to him: "Go on Fanghook! Be free!" The dragon was shocked then sadden as he lowers his head to Gustolf in a way of saying fair well to his new rider and friend. "Go on, I said go already." He said pushing his dragon but he too was sad for he too lost a friend. The dragon returns into the wild. Gustolf was still sad, Hiccup walks up to him places his hand on Gustolf's shoulder and says: "Uh, I know that was hard. But it was the right thing to do." Gustolf simply replies: "I know."

Hiccup walks back to Toothless, Snotlout says to Hiccup: "(Scoffs) And you thought he could replace me?" He said completely ignorant that he was trying to replace himself with a protégé. Hiccup groans in annoyance and says: "No one can replace you." The buff Viking says: "And don't you forget it." Hiccup turns to Gustolf and says: "You coming Gustolf?"

The boy replies quietly: "No. I just want to be alone for a minute." The two teenagers and their dragons flies off heading back to town. The boy's expression changes from sad to happy as he whistles, Fanghook emerges from the bushes they played the two older Dragon Riders well. "Fanghook! So what shall we practice today?" The dragon bites down Gustolf upper torso again without harming him, the boy just laughs. A boy and his dragon who's bond has only just begun to blossom.

Here's the latest chapter, and I forgot in the last chapter Dreadwing and Breakdown were killed so I had to rewrite that scene, too bad too I was using scenes and lines from both Deadpool 2 and Aquaman. So I'm gonna be doing the original story as well as a few other stories for the rest of the year. So I'll leave a comment in this chapter.
