Indi looked at the horizon from his place on the quarterdeck, steering the wheel. The ship was quite cramped with several dragons and four dinosaurs, but they could have been managing worse. Luckily, they were making good headway, with a trip that initially took Indi roughly two weeks was now gone in five days. Having dragons helped with supplying wind to the sails.

"Indi," Hiccup said, approaching him. "How's our time? The dragons are getting restless."

"Excellent," Indi said. "We should be there later today."

"Couldn't we just fly the rest of the way there?" Snotlout asked.

"Absolutely not," Indi said. "Though the people Arendelle seem to have gotten used to some unusual things, they are not used to dragons. I fear that they may cause unnecessary panic. When we get there, I want civility." He looked at the twins. "That means no schemes. I'll have Toothless signal you once I get things sorted out with the queen."

Later that day, Indi saw the land of Arendelle. "Home."

Suddenly, Snotlout and the twins took flight on their dragons, flying to the coast, yelling "Dry land!"

"And yet another plan, perfectly executed," Hiccup muttered.

Indi quickly jumped down to the primary deck, and showed Lapsus how to operate the gangplank. Lapsus snarled, understanding her alpha's instructions.

Indi quickly scooped up the hatchlings with one arm and yelled to riders. "Mount!" He ran to Stormfly and climbed up onto the blue dragon. Astrid climbed on in front of him.

"Go, Stormfly!"

The Deadly Nadder squawked and flapped her wings, sending herself into the air.


Queen Elsa was talking a walk through the garden when a loud roar sounded from above her. Looking up to the sky, she gasped when she saw the large red dragon flying above her. Without even speaking, she ran to the castle. Inside, she met Brynn.

"Get outside and get the citizens indoors," Elsa ordered.

"Why?"

"There's a bloody dragon outside."

This made Brynn crease her brow into a serious glare.

The female warrior ran through the halls, alongside the queen.

As the pair burst into the courtyard, a white dinosaur was waiting for them. Its red eyes were a label for who it was.

"Lapsus?!" Elsa asked, looking at the three raptors by the beast's feet. Lapsus cawed deeply in response. "Where's Indi?" Suddenly, a green dragon with two round heads flew above them. Lapsus and the raptors jerked their heads to look up.

"Never mind him!" Brynn said. "They couldn't have gotten here by themselves. He's got to be here somewhere."

Elsa nodded and turned to face the dragons.


Indi looked down at the streets and towns of Arendelle, with the castle dominating the landscape.

Up on the North Mountain was a giant, mostly transparent dome. In the forests were several large fences, each encompassing a varying number of acres.

"It wasn't like this when I left," Indi said.

"Is that bad?" Astrid asked, turning her head to look at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Not necessarily..."

Stormfly squawked, jerking to the left as she dodged an arrow.

"Woah!" Indi said, hugging the babies tightly. "It's okay, guys."

Hiccup pulled Toothless up next to Stormfly.

"Why are they shooting at us?" Hiccup asked.

"I'm guessing Snot and the twins have something to do with it," Fishlegs said. The aforementioned Vikings met up with the other three dragons.

"What did you three mutton-heads do?" Astrid said.

"Uh," Tuffnut said, pointing at Snotlout and Ruffnut. "It was them! They kidnapped me. I tried my hardest, but I couldn't stop them!"

Indi jerked his head down at the sound of loud bellow. A crash drew his attention to the North Mountain. Out of the large dome came a whole flock of pterosaurs. Within the moment, the group of dragons were surrounded by the swarm.

"Do not engage!" Indi said. "I repeat, do not engage!"

"Then what do we do?" Hiccup asked, just before he ducked away as a Dimorphodon snapped at his head. "Ah!"

"Everyone, cover your ears," Indi said. "I'll do the rest."

After carefully shifting the babies to be held with one arm, Indi stood on Stormfly's back. Placing his free hand on one of Astrid's metal shoulder pads, he steadied himself.

"Cover!" Indi ordered. Everyone clapped their hands over their ears, and Indi inhaled deeply. He paused before unleashing a hellish roar, scattering the pterosaurs.

Then a beam of ice flew up from the castle.

"Hello!" Indi said, ducking as the ice flew over his head. "Well, at least we know she's home." He sat back down.

"Who's home?" Hiccup asked.

"I'll explain later," Indi said. "For now, just stay out of the way of the flying ice."

"Flying what?!" Fishlegs said.

Suddenly, a beam of ice flew up and hit Hiccup in the shoulder.

"Hiccup!" Astrid said as the male and his dragon were separated. They immediately began to plummet.

"Astrid, hold these two," Indi said as he plopped the two baby winged Indominus rex in her arms. "Be good for your Aunt Astrid!"

Then he jumped.

Looking at Hiccup, Indi saw that the one-legged Viking had opened his wings that were made of

leather and was gliding along. Unfortunately, Toothless was still falling, as there was no one to open his artificial tail fin.

"Come here, Toothless." Toothless turned his head to look at his friend. Indi reached down, and wrapped his fingers around the handle of the saddle.

Pulling himself onto the saddle, Indi put his feet into the pedals. "Let's see, how did Hiccup work this thing again?" He opened the tailfin in one direction, which sent both him and Toothless and him spinning to the left. "Not that way!" He tried a different motion, and Toothless was steadied. "Alright, Toothless, go!" The Night Fury shot forward, following Hiccup over the castle. Out of the corner of his eye, Indi saw a column of ice with a spiked tip fly at Hiccup.

"Toothless, plasma blast!" Indi shouted. A moment later, the column exploded into a million shards. Looking down at the castle, Indi saw Elsa, who was wearing a deep purple dress with shimmering sparkles, standing in the courtyard with two tyrannosaurs and Lapsus. She looked just as beautiful as the day he left, though she might have looked even better without the menacing glare on her face. "Hey, Hiccup!"

"Yes?"

"Uh, the queen here is kind of ticked off. We should-" Out of nowhere, a net flew into Indi's field of vision and snatched Hiccup, pulling the Viking downward to the courtyard. "Hiccup!"

After Indi adjusted Toothless' tailfin, the Night Fury folded his wings in and dove.

"Toothless!"

"Hang on!" Indi yelled. "Get 'im, Toothless!" The dragon roared, slowly inching closer. Suddenly another shot of ice forced Toothless to pull up. Indi watched as Hiccup was caught in a pillar of ice, his head and limbs extending from the mass.

"That's it!" Indi said. "Toothless, land!" The Night Fury snarled, and dove down to the courtyard.

As the Night Fury landed, Indi yelled, his voice deepening for the one word. "Enough!"


Elsa was shocked when the black dragon landed and a human figure wearing black armor climbed off. The long, dark, white-tipped hair covered the figure's eyes. The figure swung his head, tossing his hair to the side.

Elsa struggled to keep her composure when the amber eyes revealed the figure's identity.

Indi bowed immediately. "I have returned, Your Highness." He was sure he had changed a bit since he left. For example, his hair was most likely longer and very disheveled.

Elsa strode forward. "Sir Indi, it is a pleasure to have you back."

"As you have seen, I have found dragons," Indi said, gesturing to Toothless. The black dragon stalked forward, glaring at Elsa through narrowed eyes. "Easy, bud."

"Hey, Indi," Hiccup said from top of the ice tower. "Can you get me out of here?"

Indi nodded to Elsa, who waved her hand at the ice column. The mass of ice started to disappear, slowly lowering Hiccup to the ground.

"Thank you," Hiccup said.

Indi suddenly was ambushed from behind with an embrace.

"Indi!" a familiar voice said.

"Brynn!" Indi said, laughing. "I'd like you to meet Hiccup Haddock the Third and Toothless. Hiccup, this is Queen Elsa and my good friend Brynn Tyrannus."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mister Haddock," Elsa said.

"Likewise, Queen Elsa, Miss Tyrannus," Hiccup said, bowing respectfully.

"Toothless," Indi said. "Plasma blast." The Night Fury shot a purple blast into the air, which exploded high above the ground.

"Indi!" a cheery voice said. The male turned to see Anna charging at him, forgoing all formalities. She hugged him tightly. "You're back!"

"Princess Anna," Indi said, returning the hug. "It's good to see you again."

Soon, four dragons appeared and landed in the courtyard. The riders dismounted.

"Queen Elsa," Indi said. "I'd like you to meet Fishlegs Ingerman, Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston, Astrid Hofferson, and Snotlout Jorgenson." He gestured to each of the riders as he said their names.

The riders bowed in relative unison.

"It is a privilege to meet you, Queen Elsa," Astrid said.

"Likewise, Miss Hofferson," Elsa said, tipping her head in respect. "It is truly a pleasure to have the dragon riders of Berk in Arendelle. I have heard a quite a bit about you all. I hope you have a pleasant stay in my kingdom."

"And who's this?" Snotlout said, looking at Brynn.

"My name is Brynn Tyrannus," the female warrior said pleasantly.

Snotlout seemed pleased. "If you're not busy later, might you want to go for a flight on Hookfang?" He strode up to her confidently and put an arm around her shoulders. "Perhaps around sunset?"

Brynn smirked, then promptly grabbed Snotlout's arm, twisting it around behind him. Snotlout cried out in pain. Brynn then proceeded to force the beefy male to the ground.

"Now you listen to me closely, Mister Jorgenson," she said. "I am the head guard and personal escort for the queen. I am far too busy to pay any mind to your pathetic advances. If you try anything like that again, I hope you happen to know a good doctor, because you will need one when I'm through with you. Do you understand?" Snotlout could only nod.

This seemed to be an acceptable answer, for Brynn let him go.

"I like this girl," Astrid said, a grin on her face.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Indi said. He walked over to Stormfly, and reached up behind the blue dragon's frill of spines, and removed the hatchlings, before walking back over to the congregation. "We need to talk."

Elsa stared at the winged Indominus rex babies for a moment, before nodding slowly. "Yes, we do."


Soon, the group was led by Indi and Elsa into the castle, leaving the dragons behind, except for the two babies, which Indi carried in his arms.

Indi sat at the table in meeting room, tapping his feet, his hands folded and resting on the table.

"Indi," Elsa said, placing a hand on his entwined fingers. "It's okay."

"I doubt it," Indi said, looking at the amber-eyed baby he named Copal, who hopped up onto the table.

Indi removed one of his hands from beneath Elsa's and pet the young, draconic dinosaur. Soon, Owen, Barry, and several other officials walked into the room. All who were in the room greeted the each other before sitting down.

"Thank you all for coming on such short notice," Queen Elsa said, rising at her place at the table.

"Sir Indi, will you explain what you have found?"

"I'll do my best," he said, rising. Copal scuttled away to perch on the area of the table in front of Astrid, who rubbed the baby's head affectionately. "As apparent by their presence here, I have found the dragon riders of Berk." A few of the riders gave small waves. "However, they are not the only type of people up there. As stated by the first message I sent back here, I soon came to encounter an unsavory company of dragon hunters. We've had several run-ins with them during my time up north. These people relentlessly seek out and bring down dragons for various uses on the market, such as selling their hides, and mining the dragons that produce things like quills, which regrow after some time."

"How does this concern us?" a councilwoman said. "Shouldn't the capture of Von Schwicke be our first priority?"

"Yes, his capture has always been my priority," Indi said. "As for concerning us…" He bent down and picked up Emerald, the green-eyed baby, who was resting beneath his chair. The little creature squeaked, looking at Indi distastefully. Once she was set on the table, Emerald yawned, flashing her tiny fangs with a drawn-out squeak, before settling back down. "I believe Emerald and Copal are enough of a reason for us to get involved."

"Sir Indi is right," Elsa said. "The combination of an Indominus rex and a dragon is very compelling. Does this mean that..."

"Von Schicke was up north for some time," Indi said. "Long enough to make a new batch."

"Wait," Astrid said. "Could this Von Schwicke person be in contact with the dragon hunters?"

"Hm," Indi said, rubbing his chin in contemplation. "Perhaps. I do not know if he would have the knowledge to catch dragons, but he would be able get his dragons from the hunters. He has the funding to do so."

"Could we compare the hatchlings to our dragons?" Fishlegs said. "If they are a mesh of the different types of animals, and since they have dragon blood in them, then they could show copies of dragons traits. We might be able to identify which types they are made of."

"It makes sense," Indi said, looking to the monarch. "Do you approve, Queen Elsa?"

"I see no reason not to," Elsa said. "And if the riders would be so kind as to share any knowledge about dragons, that would be beneficial as well."

"Certainly, Your Highness," Hiccup said. The procession was led through the castle back to the by Elsa and Indi. Astrid walked next to Indi, carrying Copal while Indi carried Emerald. The group made their way back to the courtyard, where the dragons were waiting. Toothless bounded up to them, making some of the officials fall back a few steps in fear.

"Hey, buddy," Hiccup said, rubbing the dragon's head.

Indi smiled, before speaking. "Let's get started." He held Emerald up to the Night Fury. "Well, Emerald seems to have Toothless' eye color, but the wings don't match." Indi went about, comparing Emerald's wings to those of each of the dragons. "Well, none of their wings match up.

"Could it be possible that their wings shape has been tainted by the dinosaur blood in them?" Elsa asked.

"It's a possibility," Brynn said and Indi set Emerald down.

"What about their fire?" Fishlegs said.

"Possibly," Hiccup said.

Astrid set Copal on the ground next to Emerald and called Stormfly over. After her master gave the command, Stormfly shot a jet of flame over the crowd.

Copal and Emerald cocked their heads inquisitively before Copal gave a squeaky roar at her sister. Soon, the pair were wrestling on the ground like a pair of scaly kittens.

"We'll just keep that one on hold, I suppose," Indi said.

"Perhaps they are too young yet," Fishlegs said. "Some dragons have been known to not flame when they are young. In those species, they usually start to spit fire during adolescence."

"Fishlegs," Hiccup asked. "Did you bring the Book of Dragons?"

"I always do," Fishlegs said proudly.

"I think we should compare these two against every type of dragon that we know of," Hiccup said.

"You can do that?" Brynn asked.

"Of course," Hiccup replied, smiling. "It will take a while, but it is doable."

"You may conduct this operation in the meeting room," Elsa said.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Hiccup said.

The crowd dispersed, the riders and Indi making their way back to the meeting room, while Elsa had some paperwork to finish up.

As Indi walked, the hatchlings scurried around his legs. He made sure not to step on them.

"So," Hiccup said. "Are you and the queen an item?"

The question shocked Indi. While he did not exactly try to conceal his and Elsa's relationship, he did not exactly keep it public view. "Why do you ask?"

"I was able to pick up on it," Hiccup said.

"So are you or not?" Tuffnut asked.

"Guys, not that it's any of your concern," Indi said. "But we have sort of a complicated relationship."

"Is she cruel to you?" Astrid asked.

"Oh no, nothing like that," Indi said. "I mean it's sorta difficult with her being a queen, and my being a warrior, and an unusual one at that. We get quite a few odd looks when it's just us walking through the town together. It's not exactly 'proper' for me to be courting her in the way that I am: I tend to be more or less informal with her than most people would be when courting a royal."

"That's stupid," Astrid said. "People should just keep their mouths shut."

"She said she doesn't mind, though, thankfully," Indi said. "I'd probably go insane if I had to memorize all of the rules and customs."

"Another thing that's stupid," Astrid said.

"What about Brynn?" Snotlout asked.

"She will rip your head off and eat it for a snack," Indi said. "What she did to you was a light warning."

"You don't know what you're talking about," Snotlout said dismissively. "She's clearly impressed by my masculine form. I don't see you with a significant other."

"What about Queen Elsa?" Astrid asked.

"Wait, Indi is dating the queen?!"

Over the next hour, Indi and the riders compared the baby Indominus dragons to the pictures in the Book of Dragons. Shortly thereafter, Elsa crept in. Not one person noticed her, as they were all thoroughly engrossed in their work. She stood silently, observing the group.

"What about Razorwhips?" Indi said.

Fishlegs flipped a few pages in the large, leather bound book on the table. "No, they have bladelike spines on their wings. These babies don't."

"Whispering Death?"

Fishlegs flipped several pages. "Same problem. These guys have smooth edges on the leading edge of their wings."

"Changewing?"

Fishlegs flipped some stacks of papers, skipping through a significant portion of the book. "The wings are smooth on the leading edge, but a Changewing's wings are more slender."

"Fishlegs is right," Hiccup said. "These guys have fairly wide wings for their body."

Elsa delicately cleared her throat. "Could I be of any assistance?"

"Queen Elsa!" Hiccup said with a start. The entire group rose and bowed. "Ah, you might be able to help us."

Indi offered Elsa the seat next to him at the head of the table. The queen accepted it with a nod. "I'm impressed at how much knowledge you have on dragons. Is this everything you know?"

"Everything we know about every dragon we know of," Hiccup said proudly. "I'm sure there are others out there still waiting to be discovered."

"Hiccup's a bit of an optimist about these things," Astrid said.

Hiccup smiled, then turned to the book. "So, are we basically back to the one dragon?"

"Yeah," Indi said. "Except, like you said. He has six ribs of bone in the wing, while these guys have three ribs and a thumb claw on the wing."

"Which dragon is that?" Elsa asked.

"My dragon Toothless," Hiccup said. "He's a Night Fury."


Da-da-da-DUMMMM!
