Chapter 1: Live and Let Fly (Flight Club)

It was night time on the island of Berk and in a dark cave lit by torches, Fishlegs is revealed to be tied up.

"Tell us what you know about the dragons, girl. Tell us how you train them." A mysterious voice says to her.

"I won't talk!" Fishlegs says struggling against her restraints. "You can't make me." She says.

"Oh, I think we can." The voice says and then the torches start going out one by one until the entire cave was pitch dark.

"Hello?" Fishlegs asks and begins panting. "Is anybody there?" She asks again starting to freak out. "Oh! You can't-you can't leave me in here!" She says hyperventilating. "Okay! Okay! Hicca is the leader of the Berk Dragon Academy. She rides a Night Fury named Toothless. She also has a Boneknapper named Bones, a Grapple Grounder named Serpentina, a Scauldron named Mist, a Whispering Death named Etch, a Smothering Smokebreath named Grapple, a titan wing Changewing named Melt, and a Deadly Nadder named Spinetail. And then there's Asher. He's mean. But in a nice way. His dragon is a Deadly Nadder, shoots spines, loves chicken, heh. He also has Monstrous Nightmare named Blazer. Snotlout rides a Monstrous Nightmare. We're not actually sure who's more monstrous-her or the dragon. And then there's the twins. They share a Zippleback. Actually they fight over it." She rants quickly but then stops as Toothless lights two of the torches to reveal him and Meatlug beside the girl with the riders staring at the girl in disappointment. "What? You know I hate the dark!" She says.

"Heh, wimp." Toothless says walking over to his rider.

"Great. Fishlegs. More like guppy legs. Jeez." Tuffnut says feeling embarrassed by the girl.

"Fishlegs, you can't cave in. Alvin will do a lot more than turn out the light to get you to talk. He had me locked in a dungeon ready to be executed. Toothless was chained and muzzled for days. You need to stick with what we discussed-your name, where you live, and nothing else." Hicca says to the girl.

"All right, I'll work on it!" Fishlegs says in defeat.

"Mean? I'm not mean." Asher says walking away.

"It's okay, Asher. I like mean boys." Snotlout says flirtingly.

"Ugh!" Asher groans in disgust as they exit the cave leaving Fishlegs and Meatlug alone in the dark.

"Hey, girl, can you untie me?" Fishlegs asks her dragon.

"No." Meatlug says licking her rider's face and lies down.

"Please?" Fishlegs begs.

The next day at the docks, Hicca is shocked by the news she just received from her father.

"Grounded? All the dragons? Are you serious?" Hicca asks her father with Toothless, Serpentina, and Melt following behind her while Grapple was on Hicca's shoulders.

"Deadly serious. From this point forward, there is a ban on flying-period." Stoick says to his daughter.

"What? What about patrolling, training?" Hicca asks.

"What part of "ban on flying" did you not understand, Hicca?" Stoick asks.

"But that's-that's ridiculous." Hicca says.

"I want that wall higher!" Stoick yells to two Vikings building a wall.

"Aye, aye, sir!" One of the Vikings shouts back.

"Are you calling your father ridiculous?" Stoick asks his daughter.

"Of course not. I would never call my father ridiculous. I'm calling my chief ridiculous." Hicca says but then a pole falls and nearly lands on Serpentina's tail.

"Hey watch it!" Serpentina snaps at the Viking.

"Careful, darling." Stoick says and looks at his daughter dragons. "You too, dragons." He says and continues walking up the dock. "Put your backs into it, boys!" He shouts to the men.

"Aye, aye!" The men reply.

"Daddy, Alvin has his own dragons-Changewings, Scauldrons, Whispering Deaths-I saw them with my own eyes. I've trained all three of those dragons and their apart of my herd so only I can deal with them." Hicca says trying to reason with her father.

"Yes. When you were kidnapped and locked up in an Outcast Prison." Stoick counters his daughter's point.

"He's also read The Book of Dragons. He's seen Asher train his Monstrous Nightmare, Blazer, and he still has Mildew, who, by the way, I really doubt will hold up under questioning." Hicca says getting in front of her father's path.

"Hicca-" Stoick tries to say.

"If Alvin learns how to train his dragons and he attacks with them, our only chance is to fight back with ours." Hicca says.

"I understand that. But I'm not going to risk your life or the lives of any of your dragon riders. This is my final word." Stoick says and walks away from his daughter.

At the academy, Hicca had gathered all the dragon riders and the dragons to tell them the news she received from her father.

"And you agreed? Just like that?" Asher asked in shock and enraged.

"What other choice did I have? He's the chief, who also happens to be my incredibly overprotective father." Hicca says as she leans against Mist with the rest of her dragons gathered around her.

"Well, we have to get him to change his mind." Asher says.

"Stoic the Vast? Um, good luck with that." Fishlegs says to the blonde teenage boy.

"So what am I suppose to do with Hookfang if he can't fly?" Snotlout asks as Hookfang's tail starts to flame up. "You know what happens when his "Inner Warrior" is caged up?" She asks.

"Yeah, this." Hookfang says and swats his tail at his rider sending her across the arena.

"Aah!" Snotlout screams as she comes towards Asher but he puts out his foot stopping the girl. "Ooh." She says connecting with the boy's boot. "That…is what happens." She groans on the ground.

"Whoa. We should have caged his inner warrior a long time ago-that was awesome!" Tuffnut says.

"Yeah." Ruffnut agrees chuckling.

"Look, I know this is going to be hard, but I'll keep working on my daddy, and hopefully he'll change his mind." Hicca says.

"And what if he doesn't?" Asher asks his crush making Hicca sigh.

Moments later, Hicca and Asher are walking back from the Academy towards their homes.

"Wow. I forgot what a long walk it is from the academy. Sure would be nice to be flying home." Asher says hinting towards Hicca.

"Why, thank you, Asher, for that observation because I clearly don't have enough on my plane right now." Hicca says but then Toothless runs in front of them.

"Hicca, it's time." Toothless says excitedly.

"What's with him?" Asher asks looking at the bouncing Night Fury.

"Ah, it's sunset. We always take a lap around the island when it gets dark while my other dragons settle in for the night. He loves it and the quality time we spend together." Hicca says.

"No kidding I love it and the time we spend together." Toothless says as he stares back at the sunset.

"Poor Toothless. No family, no night flying. What's left for him, really?" Asher asks.

"How about using you as target practice?" Hicca asks with a smirk on her face.

"Okay. Why don't I just leave the two of you alone?" Asher asks as he walks away.

"That's probably a good idea." Hicca says as she stares at her Night Fury.

Later that night Hicca was in the smithy working on a shield as Toothless looks at the moon before walking into the forge and smacks her in the face with his tail.

"Ow! What?" Hicca asks.

"You know what." Toothless says as he gestures to the outside wanting to fly.

When she doesn't respond he walks over and nudges his rider in the back.

"Ah-ooh! Toothless, you have to relax." Hicca says and points to his usual resting spot.

"Fine." Toothless grumbles and sits in his spot. "But this is totally unfair!" He shouts but Hicca just gestures for him to lay down making Hicca sigh in relief as Gobber walks in.

"Nice to have you in the shop, Hicca. Usually you and Toothless are out enjoying a beautiful evening flight around the island at this hour. Of course, you can't do that anymore, what with the ban on flying and all." Gobber says as Hicca glares at the blacksmith. "Ah…shame about that. So…what are we making?" He asks.

"What do you think?" Hicca asks showing Gobber a shield with the symbol of a Night Fury on it.

"All this work for a shield?" Gobber asks in confusion.

"Well, it's not just a shield." Hicca says as the center piece opens and a cable wraps around Gobber and pulls Hicca to him because of her weak form.

Hicca and Gobber just stare at each other after the little mishap feeling awkward about their position.

"Handy." Gobber says.

"If we can't ride dragons, we have to defend ourselves somehow." Hicca says as she reels the cable back in freeing the man in the process as she places the shield on the table.

"You know, Hicca, your father is just doing what's best for you. He's trying to keep you safe." Gobber says to the girl.

"I know. But the problem is, the safest place for me is on my dragons." Hicca says gesturing to Toothless and to her dragon stable were her other seven dragons were sleeping.

"Well, I'll leave you to it. Imagine you'll be here quite a while. Too bad, really. Have you seen that moon? Can't imagine a more beautiful night for a flight." Gobber says but then Hicca glares more intensely at him. "I did it again, didn't I?" He asks and walks away.

"Ah!" Hicca shouts after turning around to find Toothless in her face.

"Well?" Toothless asks.

"Gah! Don't you start with me mister. You might as well forget it." Hicca says but then they both stare at the full moon in the night sky.

Meanwhile Asher is feeding Stormfly and Blazer, holding a fish for both of them but then they suddenly growl catching Asher's attention.

"What is it, you two?" Asher asks but then hears a screech in the distance. "A dragon! And someone's riding it" He says seeing the dragon fly by fast. "Wait a minute…that's a Night Fury." He says knowing who the rider is.

Moments later Asher mounted Stormfly and took off after Hicca and Toothless. A second later he spots the two and has Stormfly fly after them.

"All right, Hicca, what are you up to?" Asher asks himself as Stormfly swerves through the sea stacks trying to keep up with Toothless. "Come on…come on!" He says as Hicca looks over her shoulder and sees Asher and has Toothless fly faster, out maneuvering Stormfly at every turn. "Ugh!" He says after Stormfly lands on a sea stack statues' axe.

"That was a close one. Nice flying, sweetie. Think we lost him." Hicca says as Toothless sets down but then senses Stormfly behind her.

"Think again, Hicca." Asher says.

"Asher! We were just talking about you." Hicca says smiling nervously.

"So I guess this is the part where I ask if you father changed his mind, and you tell me he didn't, and you're going behind his back. Again." Asher says knowing the little dance they do by now.

"Actually, no. This is the part where I tell you my daddy is wrong." Hicca says changing the dance a little.

"So…he knows." Asher says.

"I didn't say that. Look, you were there on Outcast Island just like I was. You know what Alvin is capable of." Hicca says.

"So you were just gonna fly around at night all by yourself and say nothing?" Asher asks.

"That was my plan. I didn't want to get anyone else in trouble. I was trying to do the right thing. Sort of." Hicca says.

"We both know what the right thing is, Hicca. But if we're gonna ride dragons behind your father's back, we all need to ride dragons behind your father's back." Asher says

The next day Hicca and Asher decide to inform the other riders about their plan.

"Dragon Flight Club. I like that!" Snotlout says excitedly. "What is it?" She asks not understanding what it is.

"It's a secret Dragon Flying Society. We train at night under the cover of darkness." Asher says.

"Sharpening out skills against possible dragon attacks by Alvin." Hicca says.

"But remember, it's secret. Nobody can know." Asher says.

"As far as you're concerned, it doesn't exist. There is no Dragon Flight Club." Hicca says.

Snotlout and Hookfang stare at the two for a minute before looking at each other to get their opinion.

"Hey, what do you think?" Snotlout asks her dragon.

"I'm in." Hookfang says and blasts his rider with fire.

"Aah!" Snotlout screams as she is sent flying and crashes into a wheelbarrow. "He's in." She groans.

Later Hicca and Asher arrive at Ruffnut and Tuffnut's home to inform them of the plan.

"So listen, this is very, very important. The first rule of Dragon Flight Club is that there is no Dragon Flight Club." Hicca says to the twins who are hanging upside down from a support beam.

"Okay, so wait a minute." Tuffnut says as he drops down to the floor. "Is there a Dragon Flight Club?" He asks.

"Yes." Asher replies as Ruffnut drops down too. "There is a Dragon Flight Club.

"But Hicca just said there is no Dragon Flight Club." Ruffnut says gesturing to her best friend.

"No Ruff, the first rule of Dragon Flight Club is that there is no Dragon Flight Club. Get it?" Hicca asks.

"Absolutely. Not." Tuffnut says.

"Yeah. I think I need to lie down." Ruffnut says putting a hand to her forehead like she was in pain.

"Me too. Why don't you guys come back when you've made up your mind and you stop saying "is" so much." Tuffnut says.

Later Hicca and Asher are meeting with Fishlegs to inform her as well.

"Um, I'm not sure this is a good idea. Besides, I hate having to wake her. She's so beautiful when she sleeps." Fishlegs says but then Meatlug releases flatulence making her rider go wide eyed and hug her.

"Fishlegs, this is a defining moment in the history of the Berk Dragon Training Academy. Hundreds of years from now, when they're building statues of us in the middle of town, they're going to Harken back to the courage it took for all of us to stand up for what we know is right, regardless of the consequences." Hicca says giving a big speech.

"So…I get a statue?" Fishlegs asks excitedly ignoring the speech.

"Yes Fishlegs. You get a statue." Hicca says with a sigh.

Later at the Academy the dragon riders had gathered with their dragons.

"Okay, Dragon Flight Club members, you know why you're here." Hicca says.

"Pah! Speak for yourself." Tuffnut says.

"We need to be ready for riders on any type of dragon, from a Typhoomerang to a Scauldron to a Changewing-even a Whispering Death. So I've put together some training exercises-" Hicca says.

"Nah-juh-blah, blah, blah. Can we go already?" Snotlout asks gesturing to the impatient Hookfang who roars.

"Let's mount up. First stop…Changewing Island." Hicca says as she mounts Melt and they head towards her Changewing's old home.

"Oh, yeah. Stones of Good Fortune-a lifetime of good luck. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those." Tuffnut says forgetting what the stones really are.

"Tuffnut, we've been over this. Those are not Stones of Good Fortune. Those are dragon eggs." Asher says.

"And leave them alone, please. I really don't want to revisit the Changewing debacle." Fishlegs says as they begin their descent to the island.

On the island in the forest three boars were wondering through the forest unaware that they are being hunted. A second later a Changewing makes itself known causing one of the boars to get separated from the others and runs into another Changewing that was blended into stone wall.

"According to Melt, Changewings hunt like wolves. One dragon lures a single boar from the herd." Hicca informs the riders as they watch the three Changewings surround the single boar.

"Then the other Changewings surround it…" Fishlegs concludes after watching the event in front of them.

"Hey. Don't we know that boar?" Tuffnut asks his sister.

"Yeah, we do. That's Bjorn Boar." Ruffnut says.

"Are they serious?" Asher asks.

"You leave Bjorn alone!" Tuffnut shouts pointing at the Changewings.

"Clearly, they are." Hicca says.

"Idiots." Melt says noticing that Tuffnut's outburst caused them to get spotted.

"You're on your own, Bjorn." Tuffnut says as the Changewing fire acid blasts at the riders as they retreat while the Changewings fly after them.

The riders make the way out of the forest while dodging acid blasts and fall trees as well.

"Keep your distance. They're acid is only effective at close range." Hicca says as Melt dodges acid blast spat at him.

"Not very comforting when you're on the slowest dragon. I'm sorry, girl. It had to be said." Fishlegs says to Meatlug.

A Changewing dives at Snotlout but Hookfang dodge just in time.

"There's too many of them. And they come out of nowhere!" Snotlout shouts.

Hicca looks in front of them and notices two Changewing coming at her but Melt twirls through them protecting his rider in the process.

"Wait a minute." Hicca says looking up at the sky. "If they don't have anything to camouflage against…" She begins to say.

"It'll take away their advantage." Fishlegs finishes.

"Up! Up!" Asher shouts to Stormfly as his Nadder flies up to the sky.

The Changewings continue to follow the riders into the sky but Stormfly fires her spines at them and Melt rapidly fires acid to finish scaring the Changewings as they fly back to their island.

"What did I say about the Changewing debacle? Was no one listening?" Fishlegs asks gripping her head.

The next morning Stoick makes his way to Gobber's smith and sees him magnifying the mechanism on Hicca's shield.

"Eh. Aha…hmm. Now, where did she hide it?" Gobber asks fiddling with the shield not noticing Stoick had walked in. "Where is the trigger for that-" He begins to ask.

"Gob-unh!" Stoick yells as the cable wraps around him and pulls him to Gobber as they stare awkwardly at each other.

"Eh-huh…so I'll just…unwind that and, uh…hopefully, no one is looking." Gobber says as he loosens the cable from Stoick. "So what can I do you for?" He asks.

"I came for my saddle. Did you make the adjustments I asked for?" Stoick asks.

"It's done and back on Thornado. It should do wonders for your maneuverability." Gobber says as he continues to look at the shield.

"Good." Stoick simply says.

"Of course, that shouldn't matter right now, what with the ban on flying and all." Gobber says.

"And what ban would that be, Gobber?" Stoick asks.

"Stoick, the ban…on flying dragons. The one where no one is allowed to-" Gobber begins to say but then sees the look on Stoick's face. "Ah, I see. The ban where no one is allowed to fly dragons except the chief." He says whispering the last part.

"Someone's got to patrol the island. It might as well be me." Stoick says.

"Uh-huh." Gobber says knowing Stoick's plan would backfire.

"And not a word to anyone. Especially Hicca. I mean it." Stoick says.

"Stoick, I'm nothing if not careful. Oh!" Gobber yells as he is smacked in the face by a mini catapult. "Catapult. Should have seen that one coming." He says as Stoick looks at his friend, both unaware that their conversation was heard by none other than Grabble.

"Oh, Hicca's gonna love this." Grabble says and flies back to Hicca's dragon stable to tell his brothers and sisters.

At nightfall, the riders were once again doing their dragon studying, only this time Hicca brought Toothless and they are studying the scorch mark of a Typhoomerang.

"Much like the rings inside a tree, the scorch mark can tell you the age and thus the size of the Typhoomerang in question." Fishlegs explains rubbing her hands across the scorch marks.

"It's still warm." Hicca says still feeling the heat from the mark.

"Which means it wasn't here too long ago." Asher concludes.

"And is you look at the mark, you can tell which way it came from and which way it was headed. Mm-hmm." Fishlegs says.

"I know which way it's headed without all that stupid stuff." Snotlout says as she stands up.

"Oh, really? Where's it going?" Asher asks with a smirk on his face.

"It's not. It's coming-at us. Right now!" Snotlout shouts and points to the fast approaching Typhoomerang.

"So, uh, anything else we need to learn?" Hicca asks quickly getting up.

"Nope." Tuffnut says.

"We're good, Hicca." Ruffnut says.

The riders then quickly mount their dragons and take off into the skies. While flying Tuffnut looks down and notices something.

"Hey, Hicca." Tuffnut calls out.

"Yes, Tuffnut?" Hicca asks.

"When did your dad join Dragon Flight Club?" Tuffnut asks.

"He didn't." Hicca answers.

"Oh. Weird. 'Cause he's right there." Tuffnut says and points downward as the other look down to see their chief, Stoick the Vast, riding on his Thunderdrum, Thornado, just below them.

"What the-aw, quick! Evasive cloud maneuvers." Hicca orders and they all quickly fly into the clouds to avoid being seen. "We have to stay up here in the clouds until we're right over town." She says to the others inside the clouds.

"What are you two doing?" Asher asks as he sees the twins along with Barf and Belch hanging outside the clouds.

"We can't see in the clouds." Tuffnut says.

"Yeah. It's too cloudy." Ruffnut says.

Stoick looks around but then something catches his attention as he looks up to see two figures in the clouds.

"What in the name of Thor?" Stoick asks himself.

"Uh, you guys, if your heads are out of the clouds, my daddy can see you." Hicca says making the twins go wide eyed as they look down to see Stoick and Thornado coming towards them.

"Uh, not going to disagree with you there." Tuffnut says.

"All right, guys, split up, head home, and please keep the dragons out of sight." Hicca orders as they all split up in different directions.

Stoick and Thornado enter the clouds and give chase to any rider they can find. Unable to catch the first target Stoick spots another one and chases after them.

"You can't all get away!" Stoick yells chasing after the unknown rider.

Ruffnut and Tuffnut are the first to make it back as they run along their roof to the back door while Barf and Belch head to their stable. Snotlout and Hookfang make it back next and once they reach Snotlout's house Hookfang tosses his rider through the window.

"Aah! Ooh-oof-ooh-oh!" Snotlout cries as she crashes into things and Hookfang heads for his stable. "Way to go, Hookfang!" She shouts to her retreating dragon.

Asher and Stormfly arrive at home with Asher straight into his house but then signals for Stormfly to head to her stable where Blazer is watching. Hicca and Toothless fly through Hicca's bedroom window.

"This never happened." Hicca says getting into her bed but then sees Grabble waiting at the foot of Hicca's bed. "Grabble, what are you doing here?" She asks her Smothering Smokebreath.

"I overheard an interesting conversation between your father and Gobber." Grabble says with a smile getting Hicca's attention.

Fishlegs and Meatlug were the last to arrive home, the Gronckle being the slowest dragon as Fishlegs said.

"Okay, come on." Fishlegs whispers as she hops off Meatlug. "Whew. We made it, girl. I knew we were smarter than-" She begins to say but then a large figure appears before them in the form of Stoick the Vast.

"Smarter than who Fishlegs?" Stoick asks.

"Aah!" Fishlegs screams. "Chief! What are you doing up?" She asks.

"You're coming with me, girl." Stoick says making Fishlegs get a grim look on her face.

Fishlegs is brought into the Great Hall, where Stoick and Gobber question her.

"I'm going to asks you one more time, Fishlegs, what were you doing out there flying, and who was with you?" Stoick asks sternly.

"My name is Fishlegs. I live on the island of Berk. I don't know anything about dragons or those who ride them." Fishlegs says repeating what Hicca told her to say if she was ever captured.

"Why does she keep saying that? She's kind of giving me the willies." Gobber says.

"My name is Fishlegs." Fishlegs continues to repeat.

"Fishlegs, this is not an interrogation." Stoick says making Fishlegs stop but then the lights all go out making the girl whimper.

"Actually, it does kind of feel like an interrogation, Stoick." Gobber says.

"Not helping, Gobber." Stoick says.

"My name is Fishlegs. I live on the island of Berk. I don't know anything about dragons or those who ride them." Fishlegs says.

The next night, Fishlegs is freed and meets the riders at the Academy.

"He put the screws to me. I thought I was gonna crack. Especially when the lights went out. But I held firm, because I know the first rule of Dragon Flight Club is there is no Dragon Flight Club." Fishlegs says to Hicca, who has Grabble on her shoulders, and the other riders.

"Oh, great, not that again." Tuffnut says leaning against a barrier while Ruffnut sits on top of it.

"You did great, Fishlegs." Hicca says.

"So what are we doing tonight?" Ruffnut asks.

"Nothing." Hicca simply says.

"That doesn't sound fun at all." Tuffnut says.

"Look my daddy is onto us. It's important that we lay low until this blows over. We need to be invisible. Plus with what Grabble told me, I might be able to get the ban lifted soon." Hicca says with a smile but then they hear a loud roar and look up to see a flaming Hookfang.

"Hey, hey, you guys!" Snotlout shouts as she and Hookfang enter the Academy.

"Snotlout, what did I tell you? No dragons." Hicca says rubbing her forehead.

"Yeah. Even I knew that." Tuffnut brags making Hicca sigh.

"What's so important anyway?" Hicca asks.

"Let's just say I may have saved this entire island! Alvin and the Outcasts are attacking as we speak." Snotlout says.

"Alvin." Hicca says calmly.

"So what do we do now?" Asher asks.

"Now I play my card." Hicca says and walks off.

Meanwhile out at sea, Alvin and the Outcasts are currently making their way towards Berk.

"Alvin, we're getting closer." An Outcast says to his leader.

"Yeah. And the closer we get, the stronger the smell." Alvin says walking over to the soldier.

"Smell of what?" The soldier asks.

"The smell of Berk's destruction." Alvin says seeing Berk in the distance.

Meanwhile at Hicca's house, Stoick was asleep in his chair when Hicca enters the house.

"Daddy, wake up. Daddy!" Hicca shouts smacking Stoick's shoulder causing him to wake up and grab his axe and Hicca at the same time.

"Aaaahhh!" Stoick screams ready to strike down his daughter.

"Daddy, it's me! Please don't chop me." Hicca says.

"Hicca! What did I tell you about sneaking up on me when I'm asleep?" Stoick asks his daughter setting her down.

"Okay! It's not fun for me either. But this is an emergency. The Outcasts are sailing towards Berk." Hicca says to her father.

"And how would you know that?" Stoick asks.

"Do I really need to answer that question? And don't think I don't know about your little exception." Hicca says smirking.

"Uh, I don't know what you're talking about, darling." Stoick says quickly.

"Oh, daddy, I am the only one who can talk with dragons so I have eyes and ears everywhere. Grabble here overheard your conversation with Gobber the other day about how no one can fly dragons except the chief." Hicca says smiling with Grabble on her head grinning at Stoick.

"We'll talk about this later." Stoick says putting on his helmet.

"Oh there's not going to be any talking about it later, daddy. Because you're going to remove the ban or I'll tell everyone that the chief doesn't follow his own rules." Hicca says smirking.

"Fine, I'll remove the ban after this is over. Now wake the others. We'll need the full Academy." Stoick says but when he opens the door the riders are already on their dragons.

"Hey, chief." Fishlegs says standing in the doorway and the others behind her.

A few minutes later Stoick and the riders are in the air. They then spot the Outcasts ships through the clouds and ready themselves for battle.

"I'm going to draw their first round of fire. When they're reloading, you attack. But not before." Stoick says to his daughter as Thornado dives towards the ships.

Alvin was watching an Outcast soldier put a boulder into a larger pile before turning around to see Stoick and his dragon coming at him and his men.

"On my command! And…" Alvin begins to say as the soldiers load the catapults. "Now!" He yells as three catapults are fired.

"Thornado, down!" Stoick orders quickly.

"Got it." Thornado says and dives below the incoming boulders and unleashes a sonic blast at Alvin's ship.

"Fire!" Alvin orders as his soldiers fire their crossbows at Stoick and Thornado but the Thunderdrum uses his sonic blast to redirect the arrows back at the soldiers causing them to jump overboard.

Stoick and Thornado dodge another three boulders fired by catapults and swoop in between the two ships and fly towards the back side only to have a fourth catapult fired at them. Stoick uses his strength to catch the boulder and throw it back at the Outcasts.

"Now, Hicca!" Stoick yells as his daughter and the riders attack the ships.

"Here they come. Just like you said." An Outcast soldier says to Alvin.

"Open the cargo hold!" Alvin orders as two Outcasts soldier open the cargo hold and releases eight wild Changewings.

"Changewings!" Hicca yells seeing the wild dragon fly past them and head towards Berk.

"We can't let them get to Berk!" Asher shouts.

"If they go into town, they'll tear Berk apart and we won't be able to see them." Fishlegs says.

"Then it's a good thing I left my other dragons behind." Hicca says and pulls out her flute and plays March of the Dragon on it. "My dragons will cut off those Changewings from getting into town. Flank them and then round them up and have Melt lead them to Changewing Island. You all help him to make sure none of them head back this way. I'm going to help my daddy." She says.

"Got it!" Asher shouts as he and the remaining riders head after the Changewings and see Hicca's dragons have already cut them off from getting to Berk.

A minute later Melt takes the lead and heads towards Changewing Island with his brothers and sisters guarding the sides and the riders bringing up the rear.

"Alvin, the wild dragons are retreating." An Outcast soldier says only to get punched in the face a second later.

"I can see that!" Alvin shouts.

Hicca and Toothless then fly at high speed past the boat causing it to rock back and forth and then Stoick and Thornado come in and deliver a sonic blast rocking the boat some more. Toothless then unleashes three plasma blasts striking the deck of the ship making the Outcasts duck in cover. Toothless and Thornado then unleash their attacks again but unexpectedly the two combined resulting in smaller plasma blasts scattering everywhere.

"Daddy! Our shots combined!" Hicca shouts in amazement.

"Hit them again, darling!" Stoick shouts as the two dragons combine their attacks again getting the same result and causing more damage to the Outcast ships.

"Oh, come about. Set a course for Outcast Island." Alvin orders as the ships begin making their retreat.

"They're retreating!" Hicca yells in excitement.

"Well done, Hicca." Stoick says.

"Thanks, daddy." Hicca says as they head back towards Berk.

As they are flying Stoick notices a worried look on his daughter's face.

"What is it?" Stoick asks.

"I don't know, I…just figured Alvin would have a little better plan than this." Hicca says to her father.

"Let's just be thankful he didn't." Stoick says to his daughter as they head home.

Unknown to them a lone Outcast ship had land at the shores of Berk but near a distant cave where Savage, Mildew, and Outcasts were unloading crates from the boat.

"Ha ha! Alvin's diversion worked perfectly. Hey, are you sure we're putting these in the right place?" Savage asks Mildew, who scoffs at his question.

"I'm sure. These caves lead directly underneath Berk. They'll never know there are Whispering Deaths right beneath their feet." Mildew says but then he and Savage see one of the Outcast almost trip while carrying the crate.

"Careful with that." Savage says as the soldiers open the crate and he and Mildew look inside.

Meanwhile, Hicca returns from checking and feeding her dragons after they got back safely from Changewing Island.

"I don't like that you disobeyed me, darling, but I can admit when I was wrong. I shouldn't have grounded the dragons. And I should have known you would figure out my little exception given your ability. I was just…being a father." Stoick says.

"I understand, daddy." Hicca says smiling at her father.

"All right. Now, tell me about this Dragon Flight Club of yours. And don't leave out a thing." Stoick says using his finger to make his point.

"Well, the first thing you have to remember is that there is no Dragon Flight Club." Hicca says.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of Whispering Death eggs planted are beginning to hatch and one egg hatches completely, and a baby Whispering Death emerges.
