So here's my latest chapter, and bad news guys. I lost my job the other day 3-20-25, but I knew it was time to move on. But look on the bright side I worked at Casey's for 10 years so I have better chances to get a new job.

Intro: "In the night with a violet purple shockwave over the ocean and imitating from the moon, it reveals Hiccup and Toothless older by five years dives down flying fast over the ocean surface. It's now Morning as Hiccup rode on Toothless flying to an island, and beside them are two Maximals Airrazor and Nightscream in beast modes. The island has a base combining Viking construction and Cybertronian technology, and flying around it, dragons. In the main tower, is Astrid with her arms crossed, Fishlegs with the Book of Dragons, their dragons Meatlug and Stormfly beside them, and along side them is Tigertron and Cheetor. The screen shows the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut fighting while mounted on their two headed dragon Barf and Belch, Snotlout leaning on a chair with Hookfang behind him, Rattrap and Dinobot stood, while the raptor Maximal held his sword in hand. In the communication tower shows Rhinox, Airazor and Nightscream in robot mode. And in the forge/laboratory is Botanica, Silverbolt and his lover Blackarachnia. Hiccup knee down holding an object similar to a scope with Optimus Primal standing beside him, and Toothless opens his mouth glowing purple violet into the scope that in heightens the light to reveal something. Looking through the scope showing new species of dragon, and it shows images Norsemen writing and glyphs of the dragons and locations. Hiccup narrates as the Dragon Riders, their dragons and the Maximals and Team Prime standing beside each other: "This changes everything." Dragons Race to the Edge and Beast Wars.

At night at the Edge, as wolves howl in the distance, there is rustling in the trees, as if something in the forest is moving through the dense vegetation. And whatever it was going in a straight forward charge towards the Edge base.

Speaking of, in the center, the Dragon Riders are sleeping as are the Maximals and the new Autobots. Rattrap and Tuffnut are muttering in their sleep. But the only ones awake are Snotlout, and Strongarm keeping watch but falls asleep only to be rewaken by his helmet falling on his face.

The muscular member questions after he rubs his face: "Why do we have to be the one to stay up on Rumblehorn watch? Hookfang, I'm talking to you." But the dragon who simply rolls his eyes, Strongarm who remains vigilant as she keeps her optics on high alert. "Hey Strongarm, how are you able to stay awake?" The female Autobot answers: "I have the foresight to recharge my systems earlier today. Or in terms of your words; I took an early sleep before this watch." She explains herself, as she remains vigilant once again.

On the ground a trip wire is made and tied to Hookfang's horn. Snotlout complains: "(Sigh) We're never gonna stop, this crazy dragon from tearing this place apart." He leans his head on his arm trying to keep himself awake.

Soon the shadow of some rushes and steps letting loose the complicated series of traps leading it to be caught in a net, the tug of the rope making Hookfang breathing on Snotlout who runs screaming: "Intruder alert!" He wakes everyone up, as he rubs his rear on the floor. "This is the third time this week!" He kept scorching till he sees the water trough, and sits in it. "(Sigh) Sweet relief." He said as his butt cools down.

Hiccup, Astrid, Strongarm and Optimus Primal looks on the map with x's of the last location it was spotted in. Hiccup says loudly: "The Rumblehorn! It's heading for the Eastern Beach!" Optimus Primal adds to the conversation: "We need to intercept it. There's no telling what damage that dragon can unleash. Optimus Primal maximize!" He transforms into robot mode and as does the other Maximals. Hiccup and the others riders mounts on their dragons and Strongarm and Sideswipe still in robot mode runs out of the stables.

Soon the team gathers around the captured beast, Hiccup says: "Finally, we got it! Everybody stay back!" Tigertron agrees and says: "Hiccup's right. There's no telling what this beast will do when it's free." With the alien robots aiming their weapons, the female police robot says: "Remember, shot to stun, not kill." Sideswipe replies: "I know. I know."

The twins walks up to it, Tuffnut says as he closes his nose: "I didn't think it be so smelly." Ruffnut adds to it: "I didn't think it be so hairy." To everyone surprised it spoke: "You try shaving with a hook for an arm." He spoke feeling insulted, the male twin replies: "The Rumblehorn talks! Let's snag it!" But Cheetor disagreeably says: "Wait! If it's a beast that can speak, it could be a Maximal." Optimus Primal: "A new addition to the team." Then with a clearing of the light it's Gobber who angrily says: "Get me down, you simpleton!"

Ruffnut says in disgust: "And it's got a bad attitude." Gobber out of patience pulls out his hook arm and cuts himself free and lands on the ground to which Rattrap says: "It ain't no dragon or Maximal. Just some human wondering into our trap." Dinobot growling: "A waste of our time!" He spoke in annoyance.

Tuffnut still unable to comprehend says: "Gobber, what did you do with our Rumblehorn?" To which the old Blacksmith questions: "Rumblehorn? What's a Rumblehorn?" Fishlegs answers: "A new dragon that's been trying to chase us off the island." Astrid adds: "Yeah us and everything else." Hiccup explains: "We've been trying to catch and relocate it."

Rhino also explains: "Unfortunately this creature is large, smart and surprisingly fast." Nightscream adds as well: "Me, Silverbolt, Airazor tries searching for it from the sky." Tigertron speaks now: "And Cheetor, Dinobot and I tried hunting but this creature is indeed clever enough to cover its tracks to avoid predators." Optimus Primal finishes: "So we decided if we can't go to it, we get it to come to us and set a trap."

Snotlout sarcastically and irritating says to Gobber: "Yet we caught you. Yay for us." Gobber questions: "You trying to catch a dragon with a net that can't hold a one legged, one armed Viking? Armatures." He said regarding their inexperience with dragon trapping and poor techniques.

The male twin whispers to Hiccup: "Not too late to club him, still. Give him the old, Uh, uh! You know." He makes his arms move to imply clubbing and when he's done, Hiccup answers: "Yeah, we should just get back and check on the Dragon Base." This disappoints Tuffnut who turns Dinobot and asks: "What about you Dinobot? Ruff and I been itching to club you." To which the velociraptor Maximal says to them: "Oh, you'll get your chance. But both of you will won't see it coming." He said reassuring them but warns them.

After reaching the base, the Blacksmith speaks: "Well, let's see what you done with the place." But the base itself was torn up, trees, rocks and debris scattered all over the place. "It looks…very…well." He tries to find the right words.

"Trashed!" Astrid bluntly and angrily spoke as she walks past Hiccup and Gobber, who says to her: "Your words, not mine." Hiccup speaks regarding the debris: "The Rumblehorn must've hit us, while we were out chasing you." Tuffnut says to Hiccup offering the first suggestion: "Last chance, I can still club him. Come on, club, club, club. Join the club." To which Gobber speaks fully aware of the club: "As much as I love a good clubbing, even mine own, it'll have to wait. I've come with disturbing news about your father." He spoke with anguish rubbing his hook.

Hiccup speaks regarding his father with worried tone: "Is her alright?" Gobber switches to cheerful personality: "Ho, he's fine."

"Ho, that's a relief."

"But then again, not so fine."

"Gobber, you're killing me. Is my father ok or not?"

Gobber finally and specifically answers: "Oh, he's fit as a dragon, and unfortunately he's as ornery as one too." He said making Toothless raise his head turning to Gobber and glares at him. "No offense." He apologized, but Toothless lowers his head and covers his face with his tail. "I've never seen him like this. Angry, shouting at everyone." Hiccup rubbed his chin and knowing his father says: "Actually, that sounds like vintage Stoick the Vast."

But the blacksmith argues the prince: "You think I would've sailed on a boat by myself for a week, if it were vintage Stoick the Vast? He's driving the village and our metal giant friends crazy! Even Optimus Prime is at his wits end!" Hiccup realizing the severity of the situation and says: "Oh, alright. I guess I better see what's going on with him." Gobber comments him: "Good idea."

Hiccup asks as he turns around to Toothless: "You wanna ride back with me and Toothless?" But Gobber denies the offer and replies: "Actually I might stay a while. Help repair your wee dragon base. Seem if I can offer my, (whispers) dragon-killing experience. (Speaking normally) To help defend against that Rumblehorn. And if there's time, I'll take Tuffnut's offer on that clubbing." Then Tuffnut speaks: "Works for Ruffnut."

But Hiccup sees through his rues and says: "Oh, I get it. So, basically you're hiding out from my father." Then Gobber replies neither confirming it nor denying: "One might look at it that way." Then Hiccup turns to Toothless and says: "Well, bud, I guess we're off to Berk." To that, the duo takes off, Gobber simply waves goodbye with his hook arm.

The next morning, Hiccup and Toothless finally arrive on Berk, land in the center of the village. The Viking prince dismount his Night Fury and walks a few steps, Hiccup says regarding the sound of silence: "Quieter than usual." But he spoke too soon, for Stoke's voice loudly yells: "Shawty workmanship! That what this is!" To that Hiccup says regarding the voice to Toothless: "Ok, so follow the sound of the angry Viking." To that end they head towards the source and are stopped by Bumblebee who beeps to them: "(Oh, Hiccup, thank Primus you're. Your father is yelling out of control even for himself! Please you're our only hope)." Then the Prince questions his alien robot friend: "Come on, Bee, i'm sure you and the others are just overreacting." To which they hear bashing and clashing and Stoick the Vast yelling: "Did I say shawty? I meant to say, crude, unprofessional that's what this is!" With that Hiccup and Toothless continues, but Bee steps asides and beeps: "(You two go ahead. I'll just stay out here out of the line of fire)." He beeping jokes as he stays behind.

The duo walks to the forgery as Stoick kept yelling: "I said I wanted these weapons are arranged by deadliness!" So he started tossing the said weapon. "Swords, axes, bludgeons and maces." He threw a sword, that Hiccup narrowly avoids, and he takes cover behind a catapult, then an axe lands on the shaft of the catapult, then bludgeon bounced a bit, and the mace was also thrown, Toothless blocks the mace with his wing, that bounces off onto the release mechanism to the catapult that sends a sheep flying in the air.

Stoick storms out muttering to himself, then he turns and says to Sven: "If I use them on you, you wouldn't forget how deadly they were!" Then he leaves the weapons stocks. Hiccup emerging from his hiding spot to which Sven says: "Hiccup, thank Thor you're here." He rushes to the prince. "You got to help us. Your father has become unbearable!" He spoke feeling the weight of the chief.

But Hiccup replies in his father's defense: "Well, to be fair Sven, you did have the weapons out of order." But the Viking replies to the one legged teenage Viking: "That's because yesterday he told me to arrange them by the length! The day before that was by pointiness! And the day before that, it was by name! Did you know he gave each the weapons their own nicknames?" He explains himself and why Stoick's intolerable and unbearable nature has driven him mad. Hiccup admits Sven's words and says to him in agreement: "Well, I have to admit, that is really weird. Uh, all right, I'll talk to him." He leaves and Sven continues: "I mean, seriously. Who names their mace 'Daisy'?" He walks away after pointing out his frustration.

Back at the Edge, Astrid says regarding the destruction and debris: "These attacks are getting worse every time." She rubs her head, Nightscream in robot mode picks a piece of Cybertronian defense turret cannon smashed with one stomp: "Geez! And apparently our automatic defense systems, didn't do much except ticked it off." Astrid speaks again: "Either that Rumblehorn's got to go, or we do."

Tuffnut exclaims regarding one of the surviving part of the base: "Hey, our boar pit survived! Cool!" He exclaims and as Gobber and Rattrap walks to him staring in the pit, "I like a pit, but I love a boar pit." The Blacksmith speaks in judging tone of voice: "You call that a boar pit? Ha! I've dug my way out of shallow graves deeper than that." Rattrap says in agreement: "Yeah, tell me about it. I've seen tar pits and quicksand with deeper pits than that."

Then Fishlegs and Tigertron examine the leftover footprints, the plus size Viking says: "Would you at these Rumblehorn tracks? If you take into account the width and the depth of the footprints, and the distance between them, I calculate that this dragon is—." Gobber interrupts: "Hefty. One might even say beefy." Tigertron somewhat agrees: "One might say it that way. But the bigger question is, how is this creature able to destroy so much and leave just as quickly?" The blacksmith says remembering in his youth to the tiger-bot: "You'd be impressed with something large is able to achieve. I once ran into a yak that I've been tracking for three months. And just when I think I'm getting close to it, it manages to slip away at the last minute." The Tiger bot replies to him: "Sounds quite a challenge you went through."

Snotlout questions annoyingly: "Does somebody want to tell me why we're rebuilding this place? He's just going to crash through and wreck it again." But Gobber walks up to him and says: "he wounded if you could build a defensive wall properly." Strongarm agrees with him: "Gobber, does make sense. We could create a stronger defense system and a wall to go with it." Gobber slams his hook arm slams onto a lumber and lifts it over his shoulder and says: "Well, don't just stand there. If you want to learn, follow me." To which the begin to follow the old missing limbed Viking.

Optimus Primal turns to his teammates and says to them: "All right, while they're working on repairing the base. We're gonna have to divide ourselves. Cheetor, you and Tigertron will be on perimeter in case that Rumblehorn decides to come back." The two cat bots saluted, then he turns to Rhinox and Blackarachnia and Rattrap. "Rhinox, and I will help create wall, Blackarachnia use your webbing to ensure the walls will be secure and for extra webbing traps." The rhino Maximal nods, but Blackarachnia: "Sure can do, primate." She sarcastically said and salutes. Then Optimus Primal returns Rattrap and says: "Rattrap, you'll repair any and all defense turrets." The rodent Maximal replies: "Sure thing, boss monkey."

Optimus continues turning to Nightscream, Airazor, Silverbolt and Dinobot: "You four are to gather any resources you can find and return to base." They agreed to the plan. "Strongarm, Sideswipe and Fixit will also be helping us. Strongarm will go with you four, Sideswipe will aid with Cheetor and Tigertron. And Fixit will aid Rattrap." The whole team agreed and got to work.

Back on Berk in a field Stoick exclaims in frustration still: "For Thor's sake, you two plow like a couple of old women!" He wasn't entirely off for he insulted Gothi and Arcee who were plowing and glares at Stoick. Then he walks to them, picks up the log tied to another log used for plowing as he mutters. "This is how you plow!" He started plowing as he continues to mutter, Arcee speaks in frustration: "All right, that's the last straw! I'm not very good at plowing, I'm not made for this! I am literally a scout, I am trained for combat that being a gardener!" She storms off in anger.

As for Hiccup and Toothless who watches the chief, then the Viking prince, he's pulled by the neck by a walking stick and says: "Gothi! You know, personally, I don't know what he's talking about. I—I love your and Arcee's plowing." The way said, fails to amuse or even uplift the old woman who was just simply glares at him. "You are by far, my favorite plower in all of Berk. However, as Arcee said she wasn't built to be a gardener. She is a scout. So in a way this is beneath her. But still that —That's some good plowing, yeah."

But Gothi was still mad, but at who now? The Viking chief who is driving everyone crazy because of his uncontrollable anger, or the Viking Prince who's trying to be nice as possible without trying to harm anyone's feelings, but it's failing to do so? With her anger now at the boiling point she wrists in the dirt. "Uh, yes, I—I agree. He's totally out of control." He said to her as she continues to write in the dirt. "Watch the language. He's still my father. I'll talk to him, I promise." He walks off, Toothless follows, but the elderly woman who is still mad. Arcee says to Gothi: "You think he'll fix his father, or will he drive his son insane?" The old woman writes in the dirt, to reply her answer. "Yeah, I think so too." She spoke with her hands on her hips.

In the Berk Dragon Training Academy, Stoick is throwing axes trying to hit a target but misses every time he even face smacks himself and heavily sighs, then Hiccup gets his father attention who turns around with an axe in hand but Hiccup quickly says as he braces for the worse: "Dad, please don't kill me! It's your son!" To which Stoick speaks: "Hiccup!" He backwards throws the axe and it hits its target.

He hugs his son tightly as he says in pain: "Oh! Good to see you too, Dad." He was barely breathing as his spine was being popped like bubble wrap. "Now—Now if I could just, um, breathe?" Stoick puts down his son and says to him as he pats his son on the back so hard he falls: "I'm sorry! Just happy to see my son!"

Hiccup gets back up, rubbing his back and says seemingly joyful: "Well, that's great. My—My cracked ribs and I are happy go see you, too." He now speaks with the pain almost gone. "What are you doing all the way out at the academy?" To which Stoick answers acting normal: "Oh, well, I came up here for peace and quiet." He walks to the saddle with a rag in hand. "Tired of hearing people complaining—'Stoick, you're being too tough. Stoick, you're being too picky. Stoick, you're cutting off my air supply. Stoick, you should try restraining'." He expresses his words and physical described them even using air quote signs and his arms shaking as if he's holding someone by the shoulders and shakes him or her.

Hiccup did tell something was definitely wrong but chances the subject by saying: "Hey, hey, is that Thornado's old saddle?" He walks to it with a smile on his face and places his hand on it. "Wow, Dad, you really kept it shiny." He said seeing his own reflection on the said saddle. The chief answers back at his son: "Well, just because one dragon is gone doesn't mean I'm going let a valuable piece of equipment fall into disrepair." He walks away and pulls the axe out of the target. "But enough about me. What brings my world-traveler son back to Berk?"

Hiccup answers: "Well, we— We still—." But then Sven comes in and interrupts: "Eh, Stoick, I don't mean to interrupt, but I got those weapons arranged by deadlines, just like you wanted them." To which Stoick angrily questions: "And who said I wanted him that way? Does anyone around here listen? Ahh!" But before he could unleash his anger Hiccup intercepts between his father and Sven and says: "Dad, Dad, Dad! I just had a great idea." To which Stoick still angry speaks: "If it involves me hurling an axe at Sven's head, let's hear it."

But the bald headed man picks up a shield and covers up to his eyes and says in fear and making an excuse: "Oh, I— I hear my sheep calling." But then Hiccup speaks again: "I was thinking something a little more relaxing. Something to take the edge off?"

Stoick questions his son: "Edge? What edge? He squeezes tightly on the ax handle, which Hiccup turns around seeing him, and the Viking chief is now realizing he is on the edge "Okay, I'm listening." Hiccup speaks to his father of his idea: "Yeah, so I was thinking, why don't you take a couple days off, come with me to see the dragon base?"

But the Viking chief replies denying the offer: "No, impossible. There's far too much to do around here." But Hiccup walks to him and says back to him: "Okay, Dad. Well, tell you what, if I'm being honest, the real reason I'm here is that a guy dragon problem back on the island."

This sparks an interest in Stoick who questions: "Dragon problem? What kind of dragon problem?" He strokes his beard thinking of an opportunity, and Hiccup explains: "Well, you see, we're trying to relocate a new species of dragon and I thought we could handle it, but we could really use your help." Then Stoick changing his mind replies: "I suppose I could spare a moment, and I'm sure Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus can keep everyone in line while I'm gone. if you really need me." Hiccup says to his father: "Oh, we do. We really, really do."

Back on the Edge base, the walls were constructed, thanks to Blackarachnia webbing, it made it able to withstand anything. Astrid comments: "I have to admit, that's one impressive wall. And the webbing, even though it's a little creepy, but yet glistening in the sunlight, it's pretty beautiful." She spoke of it, to which the spider Maximal says regarding her own handy work: "Yeah that took a lot of webbing. I swear I was almost running dry when we finished it." Astrid speaks again: "Sorry to hear about that. But at least it should stop the Rubblehorn, at least from the ground." Rhinox speaks next: "With Rattrap and Fixit working on our turrets. This dragon won't get through to us that easily. If anything we've turned this place into an amenable fortress."

Gobber says regarding the wall: "We sure did turn this place into a fortress. I'm going to call the wild Greta, after my first love. Large, sturdy. Beefy, some would say." Then a loud roar is heard, Fishlegs fearfully says: "It's coming from the west! And it's getting closer!" Optimus Primal exclaims: "All personnel to the Western perimeter!" With that the Maximal turns into robot mode, minus Rhinox who transforms into beast mode, Astrid on Stormfly gets a higher advantage, seeing rustling in the trees, she orders the riders: "Everybody, mount up!" The Dragon Riders mounts on their dragons, as the Maximals takes up positions, but Gobber refusing to leave his wall says: " I'm not moving! The wall will hold."

He stood his ground even despite the Rumblehorn making a earthquake like shake, but luckily the wall didn't fall. "Ha ha! Told you, my Greta would hold."

The Ape maximal turns to Blackarachnia: "Well done. Seems both are webbing and the stone held." But she replies realizing an error in her webbing designs: "Yeah, but I forgot to increase the webbing on the wooden poles." They turn to see the lumber falling to which Gobber questions: "Oh, Greta, how could you?" The logs falls on top of him.

With that the Dragons, humans, Autobots and Maximals were removing the logs. Astrid orders: "Hurry up and move those logs!" Astrid, Stormfly and Strongarm lifts one and they see the blacksmith, "Gobber, are you all right?" Strongarm adds: "Are you suffering any damages whatsoever?"

To which he dizzying says to them: "Good morning Mommy. is it time for dragon-killing school?" He passes out. Strongarm turns on her communication device on her arm: "Fixit, we have a man down. Set up a medical bed." Fixit on the comlink replies: "Roger commander, Strongarm."

Snotlout leaning on the wall says: "Hey, at least this wall held. Of course, everything else got crushed." Rhinox says to him: "Too soon, Snotlout. Too soon." Snotlout questions: "What? What did I say?" Then a loud roar is heard, they look up at the sky, Tuffnut orders: "Incoming! Yeah!" To fire to which he and Ruff along with Hookfang fires. "Fire, fire! Use all weapons! Start blasting!" They were unaware till they came closer to reveal Hiccup and Stoick riding on Toothless.

Hiccup yells to them: "Hey, it's us. Cut it out!" When the trio lands the male twin apologizes: "Oh, okay. Sorry about that. (Chuckles) Nice to see you, Chief." He said to Stoick the Vast. "You're looking very fit. Your hands seem to be rough and well-worked. Anyway, welcome to Rumblehorn hell."

Rattrap adds in a sarcastic tone: "Yep, a one stop tourist destination. Live in constant fear that some large dragons coming around try to destroy our base. You'll have some fun, seeing some wild game, maybe go on Safari." Stoick dismounts off of Toothless, with Hiccup and says: "You weren't kidding about having dragon problems." Hiccup asks: "Is anybody hurt?"

Astrid answers: "Well, sort of." She points to Gobber who is still delirious and says: "Hello, lovelies. I would like some figgy pudding?" He offers his shoe, this confused and disturbed the group, Stoick asks: "What's wrong with him?"

The male twin answers: "Well, Chief, you can start with the peg leg. And then you add in the hook and the bad breath, weird neck. I mean, look at his neck." Dinobot growls and says: "No you simpleton! He's referring to him and his current state!" Snotlout speaks: "He'll be fine. He got hit by a watchtower." Snotlout bluntly answers, to which Aurazor says adding too it: "Which is amazing me, I mean, it's a miracle that he survived at all." Cheetor speaks: "Then again Vikings are a tough breed of humans."

Gobber is standing in front of Toothless laughing and says to the dragon: "Ah, you're killing me. Who knew you were such a card?" Toothless leaves as the missing limbed Viking, who still laughs.

Astrid says to Hiccup: "Hiccup, these Rumblehorn attack are getting out of hand. We have to do something." Optimus Primal speaks: "Astrid's right. This dragons keep finding ways around our defenses, the walls held, but we're still in the process of fixing our turrets. however, even if they were fully operational, he'll just smash right through them." Stoick begins giving orders: "Okay, then, first thing. We start with—"

Hiccup interrupts giving orders instead: "Astrid, you, Strongarm and Silverbolt search the eastern coastline. Ruff, Tuff, Tigertron, Cheetor you four have the West." The female twin gives two thumbs up, the male twin salutes, the two different big cat bots nod yes. "Rhinox, go back to base and check the traps with your magic box." He referred to the computer device. They rhinoceros Maximal replies: "Can do."

"Nightscream, you and Airazor have the beach heads. Find any tracks leading to the Rumblehorn." Airazor replies: "Yes sir." Then teenage bat robot replies too: "You got a drumstick." Hiccup continues: "Dinobot, Blackarachnia, Sideswipe you three are to monitor the walls. If anything so much is a mouse tries to break through you stop it. You got it?"

"Grrr! Perimeter watch? I think we can handle that."

"I already have dozens of web net traps. My webbing is a lot stronger than the nets you used earlier. The wedding is stronger than Cybertronian steel."

"You got a boss buddy."

Dinobot, Blackarachnia and Sideswipe answers. Hiccup turns to Rattrap and Fixit and asks: "How are our outer defenses?" Fixit answers: "we were at 98% complete until, the earthquake slappin..captain…(banging on chest) happened." Rattrap adds to it: "Sheesh! I have to work glicher here?" Optimus Primal says to him: "Shut it, Rattrap."

Hiccup continues to plan: "Optimus, my father and I will take the middle of the island. Fishleg, Botanica and Snotlout, you take care of Gobber and keep fixing the base." The large bodied Viking replies: "Got it." But his cousin protest: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute there, dragon master." Gobber walks up to him and says to him: "Hello, little fella." Snotlout continues to questions: "How come I have to stay behind?" Gobber still delirious says he's a dragon. To which the prince knows his cousin well and says: "Okay, fine, you want to hunt the unstoppable, bloodthirsty dragon instead?"

Snotlout rubs his chin and says: "Bloodthirsty dragon, huh?" The blacksmith says as he shakes his butt: "Ooh, look at my tail. Do dragons chase their tails or do they breathe fire on them?" He questions the young muscular Viking. "I don't know." Then Snotlout pushes aside Gobber and says: "On second thought, I don't wanna give you guys an unfair advantage. So I should probably stay behind and protect one of the archipelago's national treasures." He hugs the one legged, one armed Viking. To which he still deliriously says: "The sun is a shiny potato covered in drawn butter." Then Snotlout adds to the deliriousness: "And the moon is a scoop of ice cream."

The Chief and the prince were disturbed by this, and Botanica questions: "With your permission, may I come with you? For I do not wish to care for a mentally damaged human." But Optimus Primal says to her: "Sorry Botanica. But you're more important at the base than on the battlefield. And beside Gobber could use the aid." Gobber was now on all fours acting like a dragon again.

Soon the team disburse, in the sky Astrid riding on Stormfly, with Silverbolt in beast mode and Strongarm in vehicle mode were surveying the south area. They Dragon riding Viking and half wolf half eagle Maximal were passing three Deadly Nadders eating bushes. Strongarm passes them and says: "So for nothing in the southern sector." But she spoke too soon, for there was disturbance in the bushes that scared the three dragons.

Elsewhere, Stoick with his son on his dragon, and an ape version of Optimus, and says: "Ah, it's good to be back up in the air again. No wonder you never came back to visit. This island is spectacular. And getting new metal giants, this is truly amazing." Hiccup replies to his father: "Thanks, Dad, but we're not gonna be able to keep any of it if we don't stop our Rumblehorn problem." Then Optimus Primal adds to it: "Indeed. This dragon isn't acting out territory or food." Then the Chief questions: "Right. When exactly did you start having trouble with it?" Hiccup answers to him: "A few weeks ago. We didn't even know it was on the island. And then suddenly it was everywhere. First it just went after wild dragons, then it started coming after us."

"And to make things worse, it destroyed our defenses systems." Optimus Primal explained as he flew in Robot mode flying jet packs. "Every time you try to get close to it, it seems to disappear. Even judged by the footprint size, and we're questioning ourselves. How could somebody that big just disappear?" Stoick answers with a question of his own: "That's a good question. But here's one, how many dragons has it killed?" Hiccup answers: "None yet. This track is more than strong. It's fast, it's smart and it's elusive. We've never even got a good look at it." The Chief questions again: "This seems quite the challenge, doesn't it?" The prince replies: "Yes, it does."

Stoick laughs a bit then says: "Look at the two of us— I mean, three of us. Two Vikings men and a metal giant that transforms into an ape, on the hunt, scheming to catch a wild beast." The son says to his father: "See? You're cheering up already, right?" But the father speaks back to him: "let's not get ahead of ourselves, son." Soon they see dragons emerges from the tree, the three said together: "There!"

The two Vikings, Night Fury and Maximal lands in a field. Hiccup says regarding the missing dragon: "You see what I mean? Every time, we just miss it." They dismount and look around the era, Stoick speaks: "well, we didn't see it fly away, so it has to be on foot. But which way?" The Maximal leader theorizes: "If we find some tracks, that could give us clues on where it's coming from and where it's going."

Then Hiccup speaks again seeing crushed tree debris: "Over here. Check the direction of the trees he took down." Optimus Primal speaks of it: "Very good, it's a start. But I think we're now on the right track." Then Optimus Primal Viking Chief puts his hand on his son's shoulder and says: "After you, son." To that the hunt was afoot.

They continue to follow the tracks, even as the sun was setting, Hiccup kneels down places his hand on the footprints: "These tracks are fresh. We should be right on top of it." Stoick theorizes: "It's like the beast, can sense us coming, and the it changes it direction. A truly worthy adversary." Optimus Primal, Stoick, Hiccup and Toothless, continue their hunt, unaware of the dragon hiding in the thick foliage, narrowing its eyelids and growls as it watches its pursuers.

After passing a log, Hiccup speaks regarding their search: "We have to be getting close." Stoick replies in disagreeing with Hiccup: "Ah, I don't think so. We've been here before. Look at the broken branches on this side of the trail. The beast has doubled back on us." Optimus Primal speaks agreeing with Stoick: "You're definitely right about that, Stoick. And like you said Hiccup. This beast is far clever and smart. Apparently we're underestimating It's strategic capabilities."

"Wait, you think it knows we're hunting it?" The prince questioned them, to which Stoick answers: "No, I think it's hunting us." Hiccup sarcastically says: "Oh, that's good! No, I prefer a much more the other way around." Then the Maximal leader says: "You cannot control the wild Hiccup. Out here, a hunter can become the hunted." Hiccup says to him: "Thank you! Thank you for the obviousness, Optimus!"

Stoick walks to a fallen tree and rips off a limb. "What are you thinking, Dad?" The Chief armed with a tree limb answers: "I might have an idea on how we're going to catch this beast."

In the open field, Stoick armed with the thick tree limb and rope, next to him is Optimus who says: "Optimus Primal maximize." To that end transforms from robot mode into beast mode, then roars pounding his chest. Stoick questions him: "What are you doing?" Optimus answers as he stops pounding his chest: "Showing display of dominance. If this creature is as there's some beast, showing display of dominance will lower this creature out more." The Viking comments him: "Good tactic. And let me try. (Singing) Well, I've got my club and I got my robe

And I smell like a yeah, 'cause I don't use soap

I am a Viking through and through!"

They heard the dragon's roar, both Stoick and Optimus Primal readies themselves, the beast slowly emerges from the forest it was the Rumblehorn. The Rumblehorn has relatively large wings, a wide torso, and a tail with a club-like hammer on the tip. Its most notable feature is the heavily armed front half of its body with firm armor plates on the neck and a large lower jaw, a battle axe-shaped muzzle, which is always digging in the dirt, looking for scents, and two, very sharp, elongated horns resembling those of ceratopsian dinosaurs, but lacking a beak. The Rumblehorn has a very acute sense of smell and is determined to track down and find anything once it has picked up the scent. In total, they look like a mix of truffle pig, a rhinoceros, a battle axe, and a scarab beetle.

As the dragon growls, Stoick actually compliments it: "Well, you're magnificent! And you've got a lot to say, don't you?" Optimus Primal also speaks but to Stoick: "Stoick, you're actually commenting this creature?" To which he replies: "Why not? We've never counted a beast like this one. I mean it's size. It's probably got incredible strength. Now, let's see if it can back it up." He sais as he tosses the tree limb away. The gorilla Maximal says in agreement: "All right then. You take the back, I'll take the front."

The two charge at the dragon who charges as well, Hiccup on Toothless coming in from in the air, the Rumblehorn looks behind and moves out of the way from being caught in a net. Hiccup yells: "Dad! Optimus! Get out of there!"

"Not a chance!" Stoick yells as he throws the rope tying to the horn of the said Rumblehorn, then it takes to the sky, but he tries to pull it down while saying, "Ho, no, you don't!" He pulls with all his strength down and Optimus pins the beast down by grabbing it by the two side horns. Hiccup yells to them: "Dad, Optimus, let go of the rope and the dragon!" But this distraction allowed the dragon to shake its head, knocking Optimus Primal off, and pulls Stoick who's still holding onto the rope. As the dragon flew, Hiccup quickly says: "Dad, don't let go of the rope!"

"We had the Rumblehorn in our hands, and we let slipped through our fingers." Optimus Primal spoke. "I loosen my grip for more than a few seconds that provided an opening. And now it's flying through the air with Stoick holding to a rope." Hiccup says to him: "We have to go save my father, you still think you can fly?" The gorilla Maximal says back to him: "I like to see you try and stop me. Optimus Primal maximize, flight mode!" He transforms into robot mode and activates his jetpacks.

As for Stoick who's holding onto the rope with all his strength as he climbs, but his grip slips and he ends up falling, the Rumblehorn makes a sky U-turn going back down, towards the earth especially towards Stoick. The beast and Vikings despite the distance but stared eye to eye. "Oh, you want a piece of me on the way down, do you? Come and get some!" He slams his fist into the palm of hid hand with bravado in the face of a falling situation, literally.

The Rumblehorn and Stoick roar and yelled at one another showing they're both fearsome to the end. "Come on!" But just then Hiccup and Toothless saves Stoick just in the nick of time as for Optimus Primal who flies directly into the dragon grabs it by the horns, and says to him: "Sorry about your date, but apparently Stoick's gonna have to take a rain check." He and the dragon we're in an aerial tug-of-war both sides pushing and shoving, then he let's go of the dragon and rejoins Hiccup and Stoick and Toothless.

Hiccup says regarding the situation of the dragon: "We's better get back to Dragon's Edge for reinforcements." The Chief replies: "Agreed." The Maximal leader also agrees: "You're both right, this dragon is a lot tougher than he looks."

As the four makes a strategic retreat, Stoick yells at the wild beast: "This isn't over, Rumblehorn!" The Rumblehorn on the beach head, coughs out the rope and some of Optimus' fur, then it begins to sniff the said items. It turns to the retreating forces and growls at them.

At night, at the Dragon's Edge Hiccup, Stoick, Toothless and Optimus Primal lands at one of the posts. The teams were gathering the supplies the three Vikings dismounted off the Night Fury, Stoick questions: "Where's Gobber?"

Then they see him chasing some boars and saying to them: "Yoo-hoo! Come back, please. Ha ha!" Snotlout, Hookfang, Rattrap and Dinobot watches, as does Nightscream who can't help but snicker. Snotlout simply answers: "Boar pit."

"Okay, Gobber accounted for." Hiccup said taking into account of the blacksmith then Astrid walks up and asks: "Hiccup, did you find the Rumblehorn?" The Viking prince answers: "More like he found us." The hawk Maximal questions: "You're saying it hunted you?" To which Stoick answers: "Yes. Ha ha, gave us a good run, that one." Tigertron walks up and says: "You act though as you admire him." Stoick answers starting with a question: "why wouldn't I? This beast was a fearsome, clever, tough dragon. I swear it has a strength courage of a warrior born." He continues to comment the dragon for its willpower and power.

Optimus Primal speaks: "I fought the very dragon myself. And I could tell you even it was tough for me." Cheetor questions too: "Big bot, are you saying that this dragon was tougher than you?" Ruffnut speaks next: "Hu, looks like the big monkey isn't as strong as he thinks."

Then Hiccup says: "We're going to resupply, and then we're all to go look for it." Then Tuffnut says: "Eh, I bet I can find him, like right now." Snotlout being skeptical says: "Oh, really?"

"Oh, yeah."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah."

"How's that?"

"Wait for it." The male twin and the muscular Viking banter. "Bing!" Tuffnut points upwards at the moon as the said dragon in front of the moon, Hiccup says: "What the—Ah! Hey, everybody? On your dragons!" we need to draw away from Dragon's Edge." The humans all mount on their dragons, while the Maximals and two Autobots gets into defense positions ready with their weapons. Optimus Primal speaks: "All Maximals and Autobots, provide ground support! Engage but shoot to stun!" Rattrap speaks: "Well, it should be easy. I mean, we got it outnumbered." Tigertron speaks differently regarding the dragon: "I doubt it'll go down so easily even with superior numbers and fire power. From what Stoick says, this dragon is built for punishment." They are ready with weapons in hand.

Hiccup speaks regarding the Rumblehorn: "It tracked us all the way here." Stoick comments it: "Impressive." Hiccup passing his father says to him: "Dad, let's catch it first. Then we can admire him." With that the Vikings rushes to their dragons.

Speaking of, the wild Rumblehorn flies, charges forward to the Edge. As for the Riders who on their dragons flies off heading for the Rumblehorn, along the way the Night Terrors flew pass them. Hiccup questions: "Where are the Night Terrors going?" The Rumblehorn flew pass by them as if he wasn't interested in them. The Chief questions regarding the said dragon: "And why isn't the Rumblehorn following us?" His son answers: "Because it's following him."

Hiccup's answer was regarding Gobber still chasing a boar and says to the animal: "Mr. Boar, come back, please. I just want to have a friendly chat." The blacksmith was still delirious apparently his healing's still underway. He was completely unaware of the Rumblehorn.

In the sky Hiccup speaks: "Let's get his attention, bud." The Night Fury fire around the Rumblehorn getting its attention just like it was ordered, but the beast dodges the attack, lands on the ground and roars forcing the dragons on the island to scatter away and fly. The beast sees Gobber and charges at him, Astrid on Stormfly launches spike projectiles and it just went through them, then Snotlout and the twins creates a fire wall and still went through it.

Strongarm and Sideswipe stood in front of the Rumblehorn charge, she says to it: "You shall not…" But he simply goes around her, Sideswipe with weapons in hand yells: "Red mean stop!" He fires warning shots but it still charges completely uninterested, then Rhinox, Dinobot, Silverbolt got into a stance, ready to fight, Dinobot says: "This is our last stand. Hold the beast off with everything you've got." Silverbolt adds: "It won't even try to get through us." But it still went around. Rhinox speaks: "OK, it went through us. It just went around us." Dinobot speaks: "Clever dragon. Very clever indeed." He begrudgingly comments.

In the air on the Night Fury, Stoick says regarding Rumblehorn: "For as powerful and clever, as that dragon is, he doesn't seem to have a real thirst for blood?" But Hiccup disagrees with that: "Not yet , but it's still going after Gobber." The Rumblehorn went through the opticals and now back to charging forward to Gobber. "I hate to do this, but it the Rumblehorn of Gobber. We may get one shot at this, bud." He spoke of the gap between the dragon and blacksmith. "Let's make it count!"

Stoick thinks for a moment, he has fought and killed many dragons since he was a boy, he knows how a dragon fights, how it thinks, he even says: "This doesn't make any sense." Then he turns seeing the other Night Terrors fleeing. "Unless—Hiccup, wait!" He stops his son's dragon from hitting the dragon.

"What?"

"He made his son miss!"

"What's he thinking?"

"Does he want Gobber dead?"

Rattrap, Cheetor, Blackarachnia and Nightscream spoke in what Stoick did, to which even his son says: "Dad, what are you doing?"

On the ground, Gobber pets the boar with his hook hand without harming him, even saying to it: "Not so fast, you." The tusked pig ran away from the dragon, when Gobber turns around seeing the Rumblehorn who roars in his face, till it was done. "Oh, look, it's Pepe, my favorite pet yak." He still under the influence of head trauma thinking the dragon's his old pet yak. "We didn't eat you on Snoggletog morning after all. No."

Tigertron just as shocked: "I must admit, I did not see that coming. Under normal circumstances, a wild animal will kill anything it sees either as threat or as food." Optimus Primal speak: "Well, apparently it's seeing Gobber as neither." He spoke with concern but still sees this dragon wasn't on a killing spree.

Stoick speaks of the Rumblehorn's actions: "If that dragon wanted to hurt people, he have done so by now. And concerning the fact, he just went past and around the Maximals and Autobots without actually fighting them. Something else is going on here." He also spoke of the dragon's actions and reasons behind its actions. "Like what?" Hiccup questions his father's accusations, to which Stoick answers: "Only one way to find out. put me down next to him."

As the Dragonn riding prince and his father lands on the ground and dismount, Gobber baby talks to it. Then he turns around and says normally to Stoick: "Ha ha ha! Stoick, you remember Pepe?" The Chief plays along with the blacksmith and says: "Yes, yes, Gobber, Pepe and I need to have a wee talk." Then he turns to the prince and the others: "Hiccup, have you met Pepe?" To which Hiccup says in annoyance: "Ho, God."

Stoick walks to the dragon who roars at him, Stoick questions it: "What is it that you really want, dragon?" Stoick looks at the directions of the sea, then turns to face the others: "I think this dragon is trying to tell us something." Blackarachnia questions him: "You honestly think that this dragon is simply gonna tell you what he's trying to say?" The Rumblehorn points to the right towards the open sea. Tigertron says to her: "Blackarachnia, animals do have a voice of their own. All we need to do is listen." The she-spider again questions: "Do you have any idea how smug that sounds?" Optimus Primal backs up Tigertron's philosophy: "Let's not be too quick to judge. For all we know this dragon had plenty of opportunities to attack us, we presented ourselves as a threat instead of defending itself, it shows to go around us and not attack." Optimus explains regarding the dragon's actions and rejected opportunities.

Then the Rumblehorn roars making the other dragons fly upwards with their riders on them, Hiccup says regarding his father's words: "I think you're right." Then it flips Stoick onto its back, and the Chief exclaims: "Whoa, big fella! Hold on there!" But the dragon goes upward in the air, Hiccup says to Toothless: "Go get 'em, bud!"

Soon the whole Dragon Riders flew in the direction, and Stoick speaks and points: "Son, out there!" He looks to see in the distance, a giant wall of water and he questions: "The sea level—Is it rising?" Hiccup and Toothless forward and saw the giant wave then they return back to the Edge. He says to the Dragon Riders and transformers, "There's a giant wave headed for us. The Rumblehorn knew it and was trying to get us to leave. He was trying to save us! That explains why he was chasing Gobber."

"I'm not buying it." Tuffnut was being skeptical to believe in the wall of water. "OK, guys real quick— How long does it take to learn to swim?" Rattrap says to him: "Seriously? There's not enough time to learn how to swim!" But the Viking prince says to them: "Nobody has to swim. We just need to block the way from hitting the camp." But his cousin Snotlout questions: "isn't it a little late for that, Hiccup?" But Astrid counters: "No! Gobber's rock wall—That's big enough to stop the wave. we just need to reinforce it." Optimus Primal finishes: "Than we don't have a lot of time gather anything that's big and heavy and put it in front of the rock wall. Blackarachnia, start webbing." With that the get to work as fast as they can.

The wave was coming fast and it washed over a stone pillar. At the base they humans, dragons, Autobots and Maximals loaded every rocks, stone and bolder they could find and Blackarachnia's webbing was being used to hold it in. Fishlegs yells: "The wave's coming! Hurry!" They saw it drawing closer and closer. "The wall like be high enough to stop that wave!" Astrid adds: "And it's cracking!" Blackarachnia finishes: "My webbing is strong by doubt, even it could survive a way that all! The wall is strong enough!" Then Stoick says: "You handle the cracks, son! I have an idea." Hiccup turns to the others and says: "You heard the man!" They got to work using their dragons' abilities to reinforce the wall, and plug up the holes, as for Blackarachnia she crawls on the other end of the wall and is finishes and falls, Silverbolt catches her and says: "My love, are you alright?" The she-spider answers to the wolf-eagle griffin: "I'm fine… Just ran out of webbing… But I'll make it." Airazor says to her: "Rest easy. We'll take it from here." The Maximals and Autobots gets behind the wall and puts their hands on it. Optimus Primal says to them: "Everyone brace for impact!"

But as for Stoick and the Rumblehorn who sees another stone pillar, Stoick says to the dragon: "All right, then, let's finish what you started." To that end, it charges with Stoick riding him, blasts fire at the middle of the stone pillar, "Full speed, big fella!" The dragon rams directly into the pillar knocking it off on top of the stone wall, just as the wave hits it, the transformers held feeling the shock wave on it. But in the end the Edge and Island were saved.

The next morning the group was calm as if the event never happened, Fishlegs says in complete astonishment: " I can't believe it, guys. If that Rumblehorn hadn't warned us, we would've been wiped out." In the air Stoick is riding the Rumblehorn feeling free. "Look at this guy. He's amazing." Fishlegs compliments the dragon. Sideswipe walks up to him and says: "I'll say. He's big, strong, fast. I think you can get used to a dragon like that on our team."

Then Stoick and the Rumblehorn hovering in front of them, the chief says: "Yes! You can say that again, you two." They flies off, then the large bodied dragon rider says regarding this discovery: "You know, guys, this is a whole new class of dragon. We need a name." Hiccup speaks of the class theme: "Well, it tracked us down. How about Tracker Class?" Snotlout says: "Tracker Class? (Laughing) Yeah, right! That sounds like something I come up with."

"Perfect."

"Tracker Class it is."

"Then it's unanimous."

Hiccup, Fishlegs and Sideswipe agreed, regarding the name this stuns Snotlout who questions: "What? You like it? Aw, come on!" He leaves in frustration seeing his joke backfires, making Fishlegs laughs.

Botanica says to the Dragon Riders, Maximals and Autobots: "Well great news, Gobber has made a full recovery." Nightscream says: "Oh thank the matrix! I must admit it was fun seeing him acting crazy, then it got disturbing." Astrid speaks then: "You know the Rumblehorn was a huge help." Cheetor adds: "Yeah, it's a good thing too, last time I checked, cheetahs don't swim."

Tigertron speaks next: "And the class the Rumblehorn is Tracker Class. Very interesting. This is a whole new class a whole new species. Kinda makes us wonder." To which Fishlegs questions: "What's that?" The tigerbot continues: "Just how many more dragons classes out there? Come to think of it how many more undiscovered animals could be out there in the world?" Hiccup speaks: "I guess we'll just continue to search." Optimus Primal finishes: "We will. There's untold, unimaginable creatures of this planet, all waiting patiently to be discovered." He said as he and the others stare out into the open ocean of uncharted worlds filled with countless creatures who are yet to be discovered.

At the docks, Gobber is on his ship, where Hiccup, Toothless, Stoick and Rumblehorn are. Hiccup says to his mentor and friend: "Gobber, i'm sure glad you're back to normal." To which the blacksmith says to his former apprentice: "Yeah, not sure what all went on, but I'm so in places I didn't know I had."

Stoick says to Hiccup: "Well, son, i'm glad you insist I come here." He pats the new dragon, to which the Viking prince says to his father: "You know, Dad, when I first came back to Berk, I thought you might be missing me. But it was Thornado all along." The Chief says to his son as he scratches the Rumblehorn's chin: "Aw, I do miss that magnificent beast. we had some connection he and I." Hiccup replies feeling the same as he hugs Toothless: "Oh, I get it. No, I can't imagine what it be like without Toothless." Stoick speaks again: "Well, Thornado will never be replaced, but this guy… We're a lot alike, he and I." He mounts on the dragon. "We're both protectors, we're both leaders."

Gobber adds to it as he set-sail: "And you're both hard-headed." Stoick replies back: "Hard-headed, you say? Skull-crushin's more like it. Wait, that's what we call you. Skull crusher!" The dragon actually likes the name, but just as Hiccup leave, his father says to him, "And by the way, son? I do miss you. A lot, in fact." He said his goodbyes to Hiccup then turns back to Skull Crusher. "All right, big fella. Let's get back to Berk. i've got a perfect set waiting for you." The dragon and Chief takes to the sky heading for home, Toothless nudges his rider, who turns around and his licks Hiccup's face. Then he returns to their duty, Hiccup says to the gang: "All right, guys, we have a lot of work to do. So let's get to it." The returning to their daily tasks as Stoick and Skull Crusher flew.

In the forest a pair of glowing yellow eyes saw what happened he speaks in a gruff voice: "Hmm… this is most interesting. These organic base creatures, as well as these ones that write them. Clearly, both are shown sign to be the cooperative species. And as for the fellow transformers, they work alongside with them." He said, spying on them in the shadows. "Perhaps this could be used to our advantage. A new world, a world for the Decepticon to call their own. This world is just ripe for the picking." He slips away from being seen and without making a sound.

So, here's the latest chapter, think about it please leave a review, and tell me what you think. And if you're wondering who the character in the end is, I'll let your imagination think.
