Hiccup and the others followed the dragon cries of distress, the uneasy feeling in their stomachs never fading. Discovering a large pile of picked clean dragon bones did not calm them one bit and the addition of the riders missing dragons (except Toothless) did nothing but made the feeling worse. Entering the large space that was surrounded by high rock cliffs with moss covered ridges; the riders stared in horror and shock at the scene before them. Dragons from Terrible Terrors to Monstrous Nightmares lay on the ground, cliffs and ridges; all trapped in a strange amber substance. Not able to move and only able to screech out roars for help.

"Whoa" Hiccup said in a low and quiet voice as he stepped into the area.

The other riders slowly walked in as Toothless ran up to a trapped Nadder and bit down hard on orange rock that rendered every movement the dragon made useless.

"You guys do know what's going here, don't you?" asked Tuffnut.

"Yeah," Fishlegs answered. "Something is trapping the dragons in this amber rock substance and immobilising them."

"Oh. I had a completely different idea that involved oily fish and bad mutton."

Fishlegs continued to talk. "Then it's breaking them out and-and eating them." The buff Viking whimpered loudly in fear and worry at the thought of it.

"Oh come on. Who would be doing that?" Ruffnut asked in a disbelieving voice.

A shrill and high pitched sounded a second later after she said that and a figure a dragon they've never seen before flew in the sky and landed at the top of one of the rock walls. The dragon stood up on its two back legs, letting of another roar. Its wings spread out in the shape much like a butterfly, showing off its bright colours of orange, blue and white. The head was long, two long horns that resembled Monstrous nightmare horns rested on top of its head and a curved horn on the top of its snout like a Nadders, the body was thin and snake like. The two front legs were significantly smaller than its back legs and the tail was thin and had a blue fin on it.

"How 'bout that guy? Yeah he looks like suspect to me." Ruffnut stated before Fishlegs slapped a hand over her mouth and pulled her down behind a small pile of boulders.

The Dragons head sharply turned, the blue frills on its head standing up, to the direction where Ruffnut's voice came from as Snotlout, Astrid and Tuffnut quickly hid behind the pile of rocks, while Hiccup hid behind a nearby rock wall, holding tightly onto the handles of Toothless' saddle, preventing the Night Fury from charging at the mysterious and frightful dragon.

The unknown dragon bent down a grabbed a Terrible Terror, that it had trapped earlier, with its mouth and swiftly flew away to its den.

Toothless' eyes went narrow as the Night Fury heard an echoing sound in the air; desperately wanting to go to it.

"No no Toothless. No Bud!" Hiccup pulled on Toothless' saddle again as another loud shrill echo emitted. "It's the sound. That song. It's what draws the dragons in." Hiccup explained

"Songwing" Fishlegs said randomly.

"What?" Astrid questioned.

"That's what we should name it." he replied.

"Now?! Really?! You wanna name it now?" Hiccup exclaimed.

"Well, we need to call it something" Fishlegs stated as Astrid face palmed herself.

"Yeah, I'm thinking Deathsong would be something more appropriate." Tuffnut added. "You know, cause, you hear the song, you're dead."

Hiccup stayed silent for a second before speaking. "Tell you what? He makes a pretty good point."

"Yeah. I do" Tuffnut smirked before his expression turned to a confused one. "Wait. What was it again?"

"It doesn't matter what we call it." Astrid snapped. "If it's doing it to all these dragons, then it probably did it to ours."

"We have to find them." said Fishlegs.

"Fast" Hiccup added before running off with Toothless and the others following his lead.

The riders spread out throughout the area, calling out the names of their dragons among the numerous other trapped dragons.

"Snotlout! Look!" called Astrid as she kneeled beside a familiar Monstrous Nightmare.

"Hookie! I am getting you out of there, Fangster"

"Astrid" called Fishlegs. "I've got Stormfly." The buff dragon rider stood next the sky blue and yellow Nadder, cocooned in amber, and was pulling on Stormfly's chin, trying to get her out but failing miserably. The roar from the Deathsong grabbed their attention as they realized time had run out.

Toothless ran and jumped up on to a high rock and crouched down while growling.

"Toothless no" Hiccup said in a worried tone as he stopped banging his shield against the amber that trapped a wild Nadder.

The Deathsong flew down low and roared at the Night Fury. Toothless roared back and fired a plasma blast at the Deathsong, but it dodged it and fired back at Toothless with its amber substance. Toothless jumped to avoid the first two shots, but was caught by the third and Toothless fell to the ground, covered in amber.

"No!" cried Hiccup as he ran to Toothless. "You guys, get your dragons free. Now!"

The other riders nodded from their hiding places to their dragons and attempted to free them in any way they could. Fishlegs grabbed a stick off the ground and started hitting the amber that encased his Gronkle, Meatlug, while the Twins and Snotlout tried to pulled it off their dragons. Watching from above, the Deathsong scanned the area and saw the Vikings trying to free its trapped prey. It shot hot amber at Fishlegs first, then the twins together, then Snotlout against Hookfang's own cocoon.

Fishlegs dropped his stick and gasped in surprise as the amber hit his back and covered his whole body. "I can't move." he gasped. "I'm totally stuck"

"Me too. I can't believe that thing got me. I'm usually so limber." Snotlout joined.

"Yeah?" challenged Tuffnut. "Well, at least you have your own cocoon."

"Oh yeah, like this is a picnic for me?" bickered Ruffnut just before the twins toppled over.

"I'm fine" claimed Tuffnut.

The Deathsong looked around and set its eyes on Hiccup, who hurriedly tried to remove the amber from Toothless. The dragon lowered down and aimed at Hiccup. Astrid saw this and yelled out a warning.

"Hiccup! It's coming for you!"

Hiccup turned to see the Deathsong right above him and barely had enough time to run before it fired. Just as it was about to hit him, Astrid pushed him out of the way and took the shot for him. She fell to the ground with a grunt.

"Astrid!" yelled Hiccup.

"Hiccup! Look out!" screamed Fishlegs.

Hiccup didn't have time to register what Fishlegs said as the Deathsong's thin orange tail came down and swiped at him with hard force and threw him against a nearby rock wall, and shot the amber at him. Hitting the correct target this time, Hiccup was stuck to the rock wall, his legs and head being the only parts of his body that could move. He placed his foot and metal leg against the rock and pushed, trying to disconnect the amber from the wall. After trying again and again, he tired himself out and panted out his breaths.

"Is everyone OK?" he yelled.

"Besides being trapped in an unbreakable amber cocoon and left defenceless from a cannibal dragon? Yeah we're just fine." Snotlout rudely remarked.

"It'll be OK, Snotlout. We just need to find a way out of this stuff." Astrid said in a calm voice.

"Well, we'll have to do it soon, because the Deathsong is right there." Tuffnut pointed out.

"Hiccup? Why is it staring at you?" Fishlegs asked fearfully.

Hiccup looked up and saw that the Deathsong was perched on top of the rock wall opposite of him, staring at him intensely and never once it blinked as it watched Hiccup. The dragon rider stared back in confusion, wondering why it was just sitting there and looking at him instead of taking off with a dragon for its next snack. After a few minutes the Deathsong finally moved. It slithered down the rock wall and crawled up to Hiccup, who leaned his head away as far as possible, but kept the Deathsong in his sights. The Deathsong huffed out a puff of steam from its nostrils at Hiccup as its eyes bore into his. As Hiccup looked back into the dragons eyes, he remembered to when he first met Toothless lying at his mercy; He saw fear in Toothless' eyes that day, but gazing into the Deathsong's eyes, he saw curiosity and loneliness.

Without any time to think of it, the Deathsong suddenly clamped its jaw onto the amber that subdued Hiccup's upper body and broke it away from the wall. Hiccup screamed in fright, so did the other riders and Toothless who roar in anger and fear, as he struggled to free himself from both the jaws and the amber. The Deathsong clamped down tighter on Hiccup's amber cocoon, so he wouldn't roll out, and flew away back to its den, with Hiccup in its jaws. Leaving the other dragon riders alone and fearing the worst.

Hello, next part will be out tomorrow.
