The Island was starting to come into view in an agonizing pace, Stoick and the other teens picking up speed upon sight of the rushing movements "Looks like our boy outsmarted them again, eh Toothless?"

The Night Fury shrugs, he didn't care about any of that, he just wanted to see one sign of his rider.

"They're all running around, doesn't look like they're chasing anyone." States Heather

"So if the dragon hunters aren't chasing, then what? They're the ones being pursued?" Question Fishlegs

"That doesn't make any sense, Fishlegs." States Astrid "The only ones on that Island are Hiccup and the masked man."

"Blah, blah, blah can we just go save Hiccup already?" Scoffs Snotlout annoyingly

"Fight, fight, fight, fight!" Chants the twins "We are so ready for a blood bath!"

"There will be no blood bath!" Declares Stoick, shocking the twins into silence "We're here for Hiccup and that's all, we only fight if we have to."

"So there's not going to be any blood, gore or violence?" Asks Tuffnut, the male twin receives a horde of annoyed looks "What? No harm in asking"

Stoick rolls his eyes as the group reaches the island, right hand patting the top of his boy's Dragons head "Anything, Toothless?"

The dragons ears rise up, his head moving from one direction to another, a growl emitted from his mouth at the sound of footsteps approaching.

Toothless releases a powerful plasma blast, smacking directly in front of the fleeing dragon hunters that suddenly appeared, the sheep taking off in the other direction.

Stoick angrily lifts a dazed Ryker by his neck "Where's Hiccup?"

Ryker coughs, his blue eyes wandering, before he smiles "Have ya lost a little something important to ya? Chief"

Stoick drops the hunter, Toothless now holding the man in place, the teens surround and secure the other men "I'm not gonna ask again, Where is my son?"

"That boy of yours is long gone, Stoick. The masked man wasn't to pleased when he didn't get any gold."

"Viggo went back on his deal?" Breathes Fishlegs in shock

Ryker laughs once again "Viggo has no part in this, my brother and I have a different opinion regarding your son. I want him gone, my brother wants someone to toy with."

"So you set the entire bounty up? By yourself?" Asks Heather

"I may not be as smart as my brother, lass, but I can still come up with plans."

"So you pissed off the mysterious and unknown masked man, got chased by some little sheep and lost Hiccup?" Laughs Snotlout

Ryker glares "For the time being, yes I've lost my prize, but-" the hunter is silenced by a hard hit to his face.

Stoick reels back, his green eyes widened upon sight of the many hunter ships and one Viggo Grimborn standing before him.

"I must say, it truly is a pleasure to meet you, Chief Stoick Haddock."

Stoick drops the now unconscious man, his muscular frame moving towards the smaller brother "You've got a lot of nerve coming after my boy."

Viggo smirks "Alas it wasn't me that came for your boy, Stoick. In fact, my imbecile of a brother laying there came up with this entire scheme."

"Have you come to gloat?" Questions Astrid

Viggo glares at his elder brothers form, his right hand revealed to be clutching a large brown sack "Quite the opposite. In fact I'm here to help, my dear Astrid"

"Uh, no offense man, but the last person we need help from is you." Speaks Ruffnut

"What exactly do ya want to help us with?" Asks Stoick apprehensively

"My good name has been rolled in the pies, the entire archipelago believes I set an enormous bounty on the head of Hiccup Haddock."

"Boo hoo! We don't care about your good name" labels Snotlout

"But I still do and therein lies the problem, the boy was properly captured and delivered, yet the man received no gold, Ryker went back on his bargain and that is something I will not tolerate."

"So what? Hunt the masked man down, give him the gold and you take Hiccup? Does anyone see how that helps us, at all?" Talks Tuffnut

Viggo drops the now open bag of gold at Stoick's feet "Whether you believe me or not, I've got great plans for Hiccup Haddock, I can't afford to have him held in enemy clutches."

Stoick stares at the many gold bricks, his anger boiling "You think I'll just sell out my son for this?"

Viggo begins to back away, the hunters leveling arrows and dragging Rykers unconscious form "You misunderstand me, Stoick Haddock. The masked man wants the gold, you now have it, he'll come to you for a trade. What you must decide now, is if your son's worth all of Berks gold."

Stoick and the teens watch as the hunters disappear upon the savage seas "Search the island"

The teens all nod and fly in separate directions, Stoick bends down to lift the heavy bag of gold.

"It's all here, Toothless. Every last grain of gold we lost"

Toothless coos as he attempts consoling the ailing father "As Chief it's my duty to do what's best for my people, but as a father ... "

"Stoick! Chief we found something!" Yells Astrid, she and Stormfly hovering above.

Stoick wastes no time, hopping on Toothless and four fly a little ways into the clearing "I don't see anything lass"

Astrid points towards a few scuff marks "There, those marks are fresh and from what looks like a fight"

Stoick takes the marks into consideration, they were definitely from some sort of scuffle, a rolling scuffle to be exact "Have ya found where they lead?"

Astrid nods sadly, Stromfly squaks as the pair move over, revealing the large drop

Stoick's eyes widen upon sight of the cliff, a fall like that could seriously injure a young teen "Oh, son"

Astrid holds her arms as her head turns away, she couldn't imagine Hiccup falling to his death

Stoick slowly removes himself from Toothless, allowing the dragon to jump from the high cliff, into the waters below "Don't give up hope, lass"

Astrid wipes tears from her eyes, Stoick was right, she couldn't give up on Hiccup so easily, he had to still be alive.

"Call the others, Toothless is going to need everyone's help to search"

Stormfly lets loose her distress signal, flying down Astrid and Stoick In the process, the humans eagerly jumping into the shallow waters.
