Chapter 1: Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 1

Three years after the war with the Berserkers ended, Dagur and the Berserkers, along with some still rogue Outcast soldiers are all held in prison in Outcast Island for their crimes and injustices.

"Meal time, maggots!" An Outcast guard says tossing bread to the prisoners.

The Outcast guard then reaches the last to cells next to each other and tosses bread into one and the rogue Outcast soldier goes after it while the guard tosses something else into the cell where Dagur the Deranged, leader of the Berserker Tribe, was in. Dagur has changed a lot in those three years, his hair is cut short and sticks up, and he has a short, shaggy beard. His arms are more muscly, given that he has been working out during his time in prison. He has a list of names tattooed on his left forearm. He still wears the same outfit from three years before his imprisonment minus the shoulder pads and left arm bands and they are severely torn.

"But that's not bread! Why does he always get special treatment? Oh Mr. Big-shot! Mr. Berserker Chief." The Outcast prisoner says.

"Oh hey you want some? Come here, I'll give you some." Dagur says walking to the cell bars and holds out what the guard gave him.

However when the Outcast prisoner reaches out to take it Dagur grabs his arm through the bars.

"Oh." The Outcast prisoner groans as Dagur holds him against the bars.

"I've been meaning to tell you something for the last three years. Your voice is really annoying!" Dagur says and twists Outcast's arm. "Gosh that feels good." He says cracking his neck and opens the napkin to reveal he's been given with is hiding the key to his cell and starts chuckling.

"Huh?" An Outcast guard asks as he hears footsteps but is then attacked by Dagur. "Ah. Oh!" He yells.

"A woolly igloo? Where'd you hear that?" Another Outcast guard asks a third guard but then notice Dagur as he bangs their heads together.

"He's escaped! Dagur's got out!" A fourth Outcast guard yells making Dagur groan as he charges at him. "Sound the alarm-" He begins to say but Dagur knocks him out with a large bludgeon but then sees more Outcasts start showing up.

"Oh goodie! A challenge! Ahhh!" Dagur yells and charges at the Outcast with both bludgeons.

He attacks the first two guards blocking their bludgeons with his own and then knocks them down with one swing. Two more guards charge forward but Dagur uses his bludgeons to sweep them off their feet and the kicks the final guard in the face knocking him to the ground.

"Get him Dagur! Show 'em who's boss!" The Berserkers cheer for their chief.

Dagur heads for the exit but an Outcast comes from around the corner and tries to hit Dagur with his mace but Dagur simply sidesteps and notices another guard coming up behind him. The one with the mace pulls it from the ground and swings it accidentally hitting the other guard since Dagur ducked and moved away.

"Oh, that's not good." The guard says not noticing the two bludgeons behind him and slam into his head.

"Ha ha!" Dagur laughs and walks over the downed guard.

"Ooh!" The guard groans as Dagur steps on his face.

Dagur then approaches the one guarding the exit; the same one who gave him the key.

"No, no, Dagur don't! I'm the one that gave you the key." The guard says dropping his bludgeon.

"Which makes you a traitor." Dagur says making the guard chuckle nervously as Dagur delivers an uppercut to the guard's face knocking him out. "I hate traitors." He says kicking the guard aside as he opens the door and spots a few ships docked at the harbor. "It's a new day, Hicca. Hope you're well rested, my dear." He says laughing.

On Berk, Hicca and Toothless are flying throughout Berk. Hicca is now 18 years old and has grown a lot in that time. Her hair has now grown in length reaching the back of her knees but she ties it into a high ponytail and her chest has gotten bigger as well. Her outfit now consists of a sleeveless black shirt that hugs her body and exposes her midsection, long black tight pants, her old fur-cloth was replace with one that reaches in between her knees and ankles and a black heeled boot. She created a few new clothing items from some of her dragons' scales as well; one is a long gold colored scarf made from Laval's scales, a long white long sleeve coat with a hood and a fur lining that reaches down to her shins made from Screech's scales, light blue belt used to secure the fur-cloth around her waist made from Glint's scales, and two purple bracers on each of her arms, just like her old one, made from Voltage's scales.

"Okay, sweetie. Let's try the new move." Hicca says as Toothless dives down and then shoots upwards. "Ah-hooo! Yeah, baby! That's it, Toothless. Push it, you've got it! Climb higher!" She cheers her Night Fury on as he continues to climb higher in the sky but then hears the sound of her belt unlatching from saddle and falls off. "What the-oh no, not again! Uh hey, Toothless!" She shouts.

"I'm coming Hicca." Toothless says as he dives down, parallel to Hicca. "Hello." He says with a gummy smile.

"Hey. So, just plummet, or, uh any ideas?" Hicca asks and watches Toothless dive below her as she flips her body and lands on his saddle. "I seriously have to get my own pair of wings." She says.

"No, cause that would mean me and the others wouldn't get to fly you around anymore." Toothless says.

"Oh, quiet, you. Don't even start." Hicca says as they turn around and fly back towards Berk.

'This is Berk.'

Hicca and Toothless soar over village as villagers wave at them.

'This is Berk, too.'

Toothless flies over a hangar under construction.

'And so is this.'

Toothless then flies over a dragon feeder as Spinetail and Melt pop their head out.

'And this also.'

Toothless then glides around a windmill.

'Yeah, it's been three whole years since the war with the Berserkers. And Berk has changed a lot.'

Toothless now slowly glides across Berk while Hicca observes the activities happening.

'But then again, so have we. Snotlout works at the armory now. Gobber gave her the title of "official weapons tester."'

Hicca watches as Snotlout gets into a catapult and gets launched away.

"It works!" Snotlout laughs.

Snotlout is now 18 years old and hasn't really grown that much. She still looks the same she did three years ago. Her outfit now consists of the same helmet, a leather green-blue tunic, spike- emblazoned brown bracers, and boots.

'The twins, to absolutely no one's surprise, have decided to dedicate their lives to Loki-'

Hicca sees the twins rush below Snotlout with a wagon of weapons and push it in place of the sacks she's suppose to land on.

"Uh, Hookfang! Hookfang!" Snotlout panics and at the last second gets caught by Hookfang.

'-the God of Pranks. Lucky us'

"You just have to cut it that close, don't you?" Snotlout asks as her Monstrous Nightmare.

"Oh be quiet." Hookfang says and tosses his rider into the air.

"Hookfang!" Snotlout shouts as she lands on Hookfang's saddle. "There will be repercussions for this. Repercussions!" She yells as Hookfang flies past the twins.

"Yes!" Tuffnut shouts as he high five his sister.

Ruffnut is now 18 years old and pretty much looks the same as she did three years ago but grew a little bit. Her outfit consists of the same thing she wore three years ago.

Tuffnut is now 18 years old and looks the same as he did three years ago. His outfit consists of the same thing only his has adopted a dreadlocks hairstyle.

Toothless flies over Fishlegs with Meatlug and a bunch of kids on her back.

'And then there's Fishlegs, who has really found her calling, teaching the children of Berk the history of dragons.'

"And if you look closely at the walls of the Great Hall, you'll still see puncture marks where the Speed Stingers attacked. Look There's Hicca's Speed Stinger, Rush, with his brothers Grabble and Sharpshot. Interesting fact about these dragons-" Fishlegs begins to say but turns towards the steps of the Great Hall and sees Stoick and Gobber. "Oh! Oh, look, kids! We're in luck. Here come two of Berk's most famous heroes." She says.

Fishlegs is now 17 years old and has grown bigger in three years. Her outfit consists of the same brown leather outfit only it's a little lighter, and is equipped with furry armbands, a belt with pockets and a helmet with something that resembles little Gronckle ears or wings.

"Ho ho! Heroes? I've got some chiefing to do, but I guess I could spare a moment-" Stoick begins to say enjoying the praise he thought was meant for him.

"Hicca and the amazing Toothless!" Fishlegs says as Toothless soars over them causing the kids to cheer.

"-eh, to introduce my daughter and her Night Fury! Ha ha ha! Hooray." Stoick says feeling embarrassed.

Toothless then flies over sea, when Stormfly and Asher come flying towards them.

Asher is now 18 years old and has grown quite a bit in the last three years. His outfit consists of the same thing he wore three years ago only his belt has a lot more skulls on it. His hair has grown to where it partly covers his eyes and wears a tan colored leather headband now.

"Hey, there you two are." Hicca says to her crush and Toothless' mate.

"Hicca, I've been chasing you since the armory." Asher says to his crush.

"Well, I thought we'd try out the far north today." Hicca says.

"Uh, can we talk about something first?" Asher asks

"Yeah, sure, if you can catch me." Hicca says as Toothless takes off.

"Keep up my dear." Toothless says to Stormfly.

Later Hicca is looking through her spyglass while Toothless hovers in the air with Asher and Stormfly beside them.

"You know what? I'm just going to say it. I have a really good feeling about today, Asher." Hicca says removing the spyglass from her eye.

"You say that every time we go searching for new dragons. Hicca, can we have a second? I wanted to talk to you about-" Asher begins to say but Hicca tosses him the spyglass.

"Oh, look, look, look, look! Did you see that? There's definitely some movement up ahead. Long neck, large head, behind that rock formation." Hicca says.

"Yeah, anyway, I wanted to tell you-" Asher tries to say again but Toothless and Hicca zoom ahead causing him to sigh and roll his eyes.

"This is it, Toothless. A new species of dragon, sweetie." Hicca says excitedly but once Toothless stops in front of rock formation she sees the twins and their Hideous Zippleback, Barf and Belch.

"Loki'd!" The twins shout together.

"Ha! You totally thought "Barch" was a new dragon. Ha ha ha!" Tuffnut says laughing.

"Oh, come on. Did not. Let's go, sweetie." Hicca says as Toothless flies away.

"Wow, who yakked in her mutton?" Tuffnut says but receives a punch to the shoulder by Ruffnut.

"I told you this was a stupid idea." Ruffnut says feeling bad for her best friend.

Later Hicca and Toothless sitting on a sea-stack and were joined by three dragons, a Snaptrapper, a Timberjack, and a Thunderdrum.

"Hey there Sweet Scent, Slice, Thornado." Hicca says to her dragons.

"Hello Hicca." The three dragons say together.

'In the last three years, I've collected three new dragons to add to my growing dragon herd, a female Snaptrapper, a male Timberjack, and my father's old Thunderdrum. A year after the war I was exploring an island with a dense forest on it where I discovered a Snaptrapper I call Sweet Scent because of the sweet she gave off that drew me towards her.'

Sweet Scent is a Mystery Class dragon who is green with red and yellow spots and has four heads, each with three jaws. Her tails are forked like a Hideous Zippleback's, and she looks somewhat like one as well. Her unique, frightening jaws open up in a way that resembles a flower blooming, and the spines on her necks, body and tail look similar to leaves. All four of her heads have three tongues; these tongues each resemble anther of a flower, as it is her tactic to resemble a plant of some kind to lure prey in close, or to help them hide from her few potential predators. She is one of the larger species of dragons, and has very long necks and tails.

'A year later, Trader Johann came to Berk and told me a rumor he heard about islands that have had all the trees chopped down by something very sharp and in one clean cut that not axe could do. After showing me the location of the islands on a map I discovered a pattern and when to investigate where a discovered a Timberjack I named Slice.'

Slice is a Sharp Class dragon who is woody brown with lighter underbelly and his wingspan is huge, like other dragons such as Torch, and each wing has at least 2 hooks, indicating that it has four "limbs" in total coming out of his sides. His body shape in total strongly resembles that of a Typhoomerang, but being "legless".

'A few months ago Thornado arrived at Berk now twice his size before and told me he wanted to become my newest dragon. At first I was shocked and he told me what my father whispered to him the day he was released. My father wanted to be sure that I was protected from all possible dangers so after Thornado raised Bing, Bang, and Boom to where they were able to live on their own he would return to Berk to be my dragon.'

A minute later Asher and Stormfly arrive and set down on the sea-stack too.

"Hicca, those guys are muttonheads. But you have to admit, we've visited every island, every sea-stack and every rock in the archipelago. And we haven't spotted a new dragon in a long time. The last new dragon we found was Slice and that was nearly two years ago." Asher says.

"This can't be all there is. There has to be something more out there." Hicca says.

"What if there isn't, Hicca? What if we're done? What if the search is over?" Asher asks looking at his crush.

"It can't be. I need to know why I'm the only one with this power." Hicca says staring off into the distance.

"Well, it's over for me. I've been trying to tell you. Stormfly, Blazer, Sneaky, and I, we're joining the Berk Guard. Stoick wants more Vikings to protect Berk's jewel, you." Asher says.

"Oh. That's great. I'm happy for you guys." Hicca says trying to be supportive.

"Look, maybe you should give some thought to what's next for you and the rest of your dragons." Asher says as he mounts onto Stormfly and flies away.

Later that night, Hicca and all 18 of her dragons were gathered at the Academy looking at all the empty dragon pens. Hicca then walks up to Asher's open pen closes the door.

"I guess it's just us for now, everyone." Hicca says staring at the sad expressions on each of her dragons. "Come on, it's dinnertime." She says mounting Toothless and they all fly for the Dragon Stable.

The next day, Mulch and Bucket were out on the ocean trying to catch fish but Bucket was having a hard time pulling in the net.

"Oh, come on. Mulch, I can't get it!" Bucket shouts panting.

"What's the problem, Bucket?" Mulch asks.

"I'm not sure, Mulch. I can't raise the net. Something's pulling at it." Bucket says but then gasps with Mulch. "Do you think-" He begins to asks.

"SEA MONSTER!" They both yell as the net gets pulled into ocean and sea water shoots at them. "Whoa!" They shout as the twins emerge from under the water, waving their hands acting like a creature.

"Loki'd!" They shout in Bucket and Mulch's faces.

"Gah, you-Johann?" Bucket asks realizing Trader Johann is sitting behind Tuffnut.

"Help me." Trader Johann says weakly.

"Aw, man, you should see the looks on your faces. Priceless." Tuffnut says.

"Full Loki." Ruff and Tuff say together.

"Bet you've never saw a full Loki coming, am I right, Johann?" Tuffnut asks the man behind him. "Johann?" He asks again realizing who was behind him.

Meanwhile, Hicca, having nothing else to do left, decides to return home where her father is eating his meal.

"Hicca, what are you doing home so early?" Stoick says seeing his daughter enter their house.

"Oh, I just-" Hicca begins to say but wasn't really sure what to say. "Wanted to spend some time with my dear old dad. Yeah, you know, we never get to talk anymore. So…" She says leaning against a pillar.

"All right, what is it?" Stoick knowing when his daughter wants something.

"What's what? "What is it?"" Hicca asks nervously. "Can't a young woman spend some quality time with her father?" She asks.

"Not this one. Not usually, at least. So, let's hear it." Stoick says as Hicca takes a seat.

"All right. Did you know Asher just joined the Berk Guard?" Hicca asks.

"I'd heard that. Good for him." Stoick says taking a sip from his mug.

"And the other riders have got their different things going on." Hicca says starting to get to her point.

"What are you saying, darling?" Stoick asks.

"I'm saying, I don't know. Maybe it's time for me-" Hicca begins to say but then the door suddenly opens with the twins supporting Trader Johann.

"Johann! What happened to you?" Stoick asks making with way over to the man.

"Ooh, Dagur!" Trader Johann says weakly.

"What about Dagur?" Hicca asks.

"He's out. He's more Berserk than ever. And from the way he was talking, Hicca, you're number one on his revenge list. Ooh!" Trader Johann manages to say before he passes out.

Hicca and the other Riders gather at the Academy as they have to figure out where Dagur was going.

"All we got from Johann before he passed out was this-Dagur escaped from Outcast Island by commandeering his ships." Hicca explains to the riders as she points to the map of the archipelago. "He threw Johann overboard about here." She says pointing to a spot on the map quite a ways away from Outcast Island.

"So what you're saying is Dagur could be anywhere by now." Snotlout says with her arms crossed.

"Well, technically, yes." Hicca simply says.

"Oh, great! Great, great, great. So that just leaves-I don't know, let me think about this-the entire ocean to search! No, thank you." Snotlout says placing her hands on her hips.

"Mistress Hicca." Trader Johann says walking up to the 18 year old woman.

"Johann, you're awake." Hicca says.

"And feeling much better, thank you for asking. More importantly, I have more than a strong suspicion of where our nefarious foe may be heading." Trader Johann says gesturing to the fog on the map.

"Outside the archipelago?" Hicca asks in shock.

"No! Just inside the fog bank on our outer group of islands." Trader Johann corrects her.

"We've never been out that far." Hicca says out loud to herself.

"When Dagur commandeered my precious ship, he also came into possession of a very important map-one that leads to a graveyard of ships hidden in that fog bank." Trader Johann explains to the group.

"Wow! That's the first place I'd go." Snotlout says sarcastically.

"If I may be allowed to finish?" Trader Johann asks glaring at Snotlout.

"Johann, last time we allowed you to finish, we ended up on Breakneck Bog. So, no-no finishing." Snotlout says putting a stop to Trader Johann before he can say another word.

"Enough! What's so special about the graveyard and why would he go there?" Hicca asks.

"Well, you see-" Trader Johann begins to say.

"The short version, please." Hicca says quickly before Trader Johann can get into one of his long stories.

"It's where I store all my treasures and wares." Trader Johann says concise and to the point making Snotlout and Tuffnut's jaws drop.

"Wow, concise, to the point. Who knew he had it in him?" Tuffnut asks.

"Which reminds me of the first time I was labeled as "concise"! He was a young man, very ugly, I actually-" Trader Johann begins to tell his story.

"Johann." Hicca says quickly stopping the trader.

"Yes?" Trader Johann asks.

"Focus. Is there anything else?" Hicca asks.

"As a matter of fact, there is one ship you must avoid at all cost. It's called the Reaper." Trader Johann says mysteriously. "Riddled with booby traps from stem to stern. Barely made it out with my life the only time I dared venture aboard. Oh, wow!" He says.

"Okay, Toothless, let's go." Hicca says and pulls her flute out it slot on her belt. "But we're gonna need a few more dragons." She says and performs a Skrill call, a Screaming Death call, a Snaptrapper call, and finally a Timberjack call. "There, Voltage and Screech will want revenge against Dagur but he hasn't met Sweet Scent or Slice, so he won't be expecting them." She says.

"He'll never see my new sister and brother coming." Toothless says with a sly smirk as Hicca then turns to the rest of the riders.

"Unless, of course, any of you can make time out of your busy schedules to capture a dangerous maniac?" Hicca asks with a smirk.

Finally, after three years, Hicca is in joy to see that all of the riders are now going to another mission. Hicca and Toothless were in front as Voltage, Sweet Scent, Slice, and Screech follow behind Toothless with the rest of the riders following behind them.

"This is pretty great, huh, sweetie? Seems like forever since we all flew as a group." Hicca says.

"Oh yeah. It feels great." Toothless says.

"You said it, bro." Screech says grinning.

"Indeed, the last time we did anything together was the first Dragon Race." Voltage says.

"Well this is mine and Slice's first mission with the other riders and their dragons so it feels pretty great." Sweet Scent says.

"You're right, sis. Can't wait to see what happens." Slice says with enthusiasm.

"I love your enthusiasm Slice but first let's see how rusty they are. V Formation!" Hicca says holding her arms up in a V form.

The dragons then form a 'V' shape in the air with Voltage, Ruffnut and Tuffnut and Barf and Belch, Snotlout and Hookfang, and Slice to Hicca's left while Sweet Scent, Asher and Stormfly, Fishlegs and Meatlug, and Screech to Hicca's right.

"Not bad. Diamond Formation!" Hicca shouts putting her hands together and forming a diamond in the air.

The dragons then form a diamond in the air in the following order starting from the front; Hicca and Toothless, Sweet Scent, Asher and Stormfly, Slice, Snotlout and Hookfang, Screech, Fishlegs and Meatlug, Voltage, and Ruffnut and Tuffnut and Barf and Belch in the center.

"How rusty does this woman think we are?" Tuffnut asks.

"Uh, guys, a little tight on the diamond, aren't we?" Fishlegs asks revealing to be squished between Barf and Belch and Meatlug.

"Just like old times." Hicca says chuckling as they return to their original positions but then Hookfang flames up.

"5,000 lbs of flaming muscle coming through!" Snotlout says as she and Hookfang fly ahead.

"Ever a class act." Hicca says rolling her eyes.

Hours later at night, Hicca and the riders arrive at the graveyard of ships.

"I knew it. I knew there was more." Hicca says looking at all the ruined ships.

"Some of these ships, I've never seen anything like them before." Asher says looking at the ships as well.

"Okay, everybody fan out. If anyone sees any signs of Dagur, sound the signal." Hicca orders.

With Stormfly and Asher, Stormfly was getting a bit uneasy.

"It's alright Stormfly. Nothing to worry about." Asher says calming his main dragon.

"This place gives me the creeps." Stormfly says.

With Meatlug and Fishlegs, Meatlug was getting uneasy as well.

"Don't be nervous, girl. We don't want you to…" Fishlegs begins to say until Meatlug spews. "Do that. Ugh." She says trying to spew as well.

"I don't like this." Meatlug says nervously.

Unknown to them the spew from Meatlug causes eels swim up from under the water.

With Hookfang and Snotlout, the two were flying around the wrecked ships.

"Ha! Hookfang, these guys are awful sailors! Ha ha!" Snotlout laughs but then crashes into mast. "Oh! A little help here. Hookfang! Hey! I saw that look! What did we talk about?" She asks struggling to hold onto the mast.

"See ya." Hookfang says and leaves his rider hanging.

With Hicca, Toothless, Voltage, Screech, Sweet Scent, and Slice, they flew towards a large ship that wasn't wrecked like the rest only in no condition to sail again.

"That's gotta be the Reaper." Hicca says staring at the ship with strange symbols and cages.

"This ship doesn't feel dragon friendly, Hicca." Screech says.

"Well three years ago you weren't exactly friendly either, brother." Voltage says.

"Ha ha ha. Very funny." Screech says

A while later, the Riders gather at a ship and discuss their findings.

"Not sign of Dagur." Hicca says.

"Looks like we've got here first. What's the plan?" Asher asks his crush.

"We wait." Hicca says.

"Wait a minute. For how long? This fog really gives Meatlug the willies." Fishlegs says.

"It's not the fog, Hicca, it's just I feel as if something is watching us." Meatlug says to the girl.

"She has a point. We can't wait here forever." Asher says.

"We can't just leave Johann's treasure here either. Dagur will steal them." Hicca points out.

"And use the profit to build a new armada." Asher says realizing Hicca's point.

"Not if we steal them first." Ruffnut suggests.

"That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. I hereby disown you!" Tuffnut announces.

"Actually, you know what? I actually like it." Hicca says.

"Welcome back to the family." Tuffnut says holding out his hand.

"Here's the plan. We search the ship, gather Johann's treasure and take it back to Berk. But keep your eyes open for Dagur. He could show up any time." Hicca says but then loud hissing is heard all around them.

"What is that?" Asher asks.

"Eh, has Dagur's voice changed?" Tuffnut asks as Hicca rushes to the side of the ship.

"Eels! Everybody get to your dragons before they get spooked and take off!" Hicca shouts.

"Ooh, hold me, Meatlug!" Fishlegs whimpers quivering under her dragon but a second later all dragons except for Hicca's dragons take off.

"I knew something was watching us!" Meatlug shouts flying off.

"I'm out of here!" Hookfang yells flying off.

"Hookfang!" Snotlout shouts watching her Monstrous Nightmare fly off.

"Stormfly!" Asher shouts seeing his main dragon take off.

"Sorry, Asher, I'll be back. I promise." Stormfly says.

Just then a giant eel appears on deck causing Snotlout to scream. Hicca ignores it and runs to her freaking out dragons.

"Calm down, everyone. It's only a couple of eels. Really big, screaming, mean eels." Hicca says mounting Toothless.

"Not helping!" All her dragons shout and they hover in the air.

The eels then start wrapping around the ship causing it to be pulled into the water.

"The eels are pulling the ship down!" Fishlegs yells.

"Everyone grab onto Screech!" Hicca shouts.

Snotlout jumps and grabs onto one of Screech quills.

"Fishlegs, grab my foot!" Snotlout shouts as Fishlegs grabs her foot and feels the husky girl's weight. "Oh, you ate a full breakfast." She says and then the entire gang grabs each other's feet. "You ate everybody's breakfast." She says.

"We're gonna live!" Tuffnut yells holding onto his sister's foot while Asher holds onto his.

"Hold it-oh!" Asher yells after losing his grip on Tuffnut.

"Asher! No!" Hicca shouts.

"Most of us are gonna live!" Tuffnut shouts.

"Hicca!" Asher yells hitting the water.

Asher lands in the water and the giant eels surround him. She draws his axe and starts swinging it keeping the eels at bay but one draws closer until a plasma blast sails through the water and Asher looks up to see Hicca and Toothless dive into the water and save him. The eels soon release the ship and scatter.

"Thanks, Hicca." Asher says getting off of Toothless while Screech sets the others down on the ship.

"Pardon me. Does anyone else think that Johann could have warned us about-I don't know, the giant screaming eels?" Snotlout asks shouting.

"Snotlout, would you relax? Stormfly said she and the others will be back. In the meantime, we stick with the plan. We find Johann's treasure, quietly." Hicca says and watches as Snotlout stomps off making her sigh and turns to the Reaper.

"Why are you staring at that ship?" Asher asks thinking he already knows the answer.

"Because I'm thinking of checking it out." Hicca says.

"The Reaper? The ship Johann warned us about?" Asher asks.

"Exactly. A ship covered with booby traps from step to stern. I'm thinking, what is on there they don't want people to find?" Hicca wonders.

Hicca, Toothless, Voltage, Screech, Sweet Scent, and Slice land on the ship and look around.

"This boat is definitely not from the archipelago. These carvings, the design on the sail-I've never seen anything like this. And this metal." Hicca says rubbing her hand against the bars of the cage.

"Something doesn't smell right." Voltage says growling.

"Come on, Volt, it's just an empty cage." Hicca says patting her Skrill's head.

"Ah!/Ah!" Hicca and her dragons yelp as a bird flies out of the cage as she holds her shield in front of herself.

"Okay, now-now it's an empty cage." Hicca says.

Meanwhile, the twins are now scavenging Johann's treasure.

"Jewels, jewels! You know what we're gonna do? We're bringing them back for the family. Mom will be so happy." Tuffnut says happily holding a handful of gems in his hands. "Wait, but how are we going to carry all these back to Berk?" He asks and turns to his sister as she reveals jewels in her mouth making her brother gasp. "Great idea, sis! I can't believe I didn't think about that. Here, I may do it too." He says and shoves a hand full of jewels in Ruffnut's mouth. "I'm also gonna put jewels in your mouth." He says and continues to shove jewels into Ruffnut's mouth. "Yeah! I gotta keep mine empty so I can talk." He says.

"Ah! Keep comin'. Keep 'em coming. Ah! Ooh!" Ruffnut says muffled.

Elsewhere, Fishlegs is searching one of the ships as well and soon gasps at what she sees.

"Whoo! Aw, yeah! Aw, yeah! Fishlegs! Hee hee!" Fishlegs squeals at the sight of books. "Maps, old books, charts! Oh ho ho ho! There's no greater treasure than knowledge." She continues to squeal.

Snotlout is also searching the ships as she opens one of the barrels she finds.

"I'm gonna be rich! I'm gonna be rich! Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich!" Snotlout sings but then spies an ornate chest. Hmm, well, hello, Mr. Ornate Box. What treasures do you hold? Ha ha ha! Rich! Ho! Rich!" She shouts and opens box to reveal it's full of hair. "Hair! Ew! Who keeps hair in a box? There's got to be more. More hair? Ech! Man, what a rip-off." She says but then spots a painting and realizes it is hair of deceased royalties. "Or is it?" She asks and a second later she pretends the hair is a beard. "I'm Stoick the Vast! Hicca, you're such a disappointment! Why can't you be more like Snotlout?" She says in a Nordic accent. "Eh, I'm Ruffnut-or am I Tuffnut? Who can tell? Ha ha ha!" She says pretending the hair is the twins long hair. "I'm-oh, actually, this is kind of nice." She says with a bunch of hair wrapped around her helmet on her head.

Back on the Reaper, Hicca and her dragons make their way to one of the deck doors.

"Come on, sweetie. Don't you want to see what's down below?" Hicca asks her Night Fury.

"No, not really." Toothless says with a growl.

"All right, fine. Guess I'm going alone." Hicca says but then a rope latches onto Hicca's foot and drags her off towards the edge of the ship by an anchor. "Ah! Whoa!" She yells unable to stop.

"Hold on!" Slice says acting quickly and uses it wing to slice the rope before Hicca goes overboard.

"Whoa! Okay. Nobody goes to this much trouble unless there's something on this boat that they don't want found. Toothless, Voltage, you two come with me. Screech, be a look out on that large sea-stack over there." Hicca says pointing to the sea-stack near the Reaper. "Sweet Scent and Slice, you two hide. I don't want Dagur seeing you two yet." She says.

"Got it!" All her dragons say together and follow her orders as Hicca opens the deck door and enters ship.

"Watch your step, boys." Hicca says and holds up a lantern for Toothless to light.

Hicca then makes her way down the ladder but once she reaches the bottom a bear trap pops out of the floor and clamps onto Hicca's prosthetic leg. "Ooh, boy. One of the benefits of a metal leg, I suppose." She says undoing the trap and proceeds down the hallway and arrive at an area that looks like a brig. "Okay, let's just take this nice and…" She begins to say but Toothless and Voltage whine as they stare into a cage.

Hicca walks over and sees a dragon skull in the cage and in all the other ones as well.

"Dragon bones. I'm sorry you had to see this, boys." Hicca says hugging her Night Fury and Skrill. "Whoever commanded this ship was certainly no friend of dragons. Let's get out of here." She says but then steps onto a plank causing a clicking sound to be heard as crossbows mounted on the walls pop out and arrows shoot out from them and the other walls too. "All right, come on, Toothless, Voltage! Let's go!" She yells and runs across the brig to the other side and dives behind some barrels with Toothless and Voltage following.

A few seconds later the arrows stop firing and the three make their way into the hallway where they see a door with a dragon breathing fire ornate into it.

"Commander's quarters. Stay close, boys. Okay, so here's the plan-" Hicca begins to say but Toothless blows up the door with a plasma blast. "I like yours better." She says.

"Thank you." Toothless says.

Inside a dead man's skeleton is seen in a chair with a dragon skull on the shoulder and it's hand clutching some kind of cylinder object that looks like it has a dragon mouth on one end.

"What is this thing?" Hicca asks as she approaches the object held by a skeleton. "Whatever it is, if it's on this ship, it's no good for dragons. Which means we're not leaving it here for Dagur." She says and lifts up skeletal hand. "Hmm." She says and lift the object off the pedestal and thinks something would happen but nothing does. "Huh. Well, that wasn't too-" She begins to say but then an axe falls down embedding itself into the table. "Giant axe! Toothless, Voltage run!" She yells exiting the quarters but spikes jut out from the floor.

"Hold on." Voltage says grabbing Hicca's by her coat's hood and jumps over the spikes.

"Watch it, Voltage!" Hicca shouts as more arrows fly towards them. "Whoa!" She shouts blocking the arrows and runs out ship closing the hatch.

Once outside Toothless prepares a plasma blast while Voltage prepares a lightning blast when they see someone standing in front of them.

"Toothless, Voltage, hold." Hicca tells her dragons.

"Hicca! Did you miss me? 'Cause I sure missed you. Every day for three years, I thought about you." Dagur says as he steps aside to reveal the dragon riders locked in the cage behind him guarded by four Berserkers, two with crossbow and two with bludgeons.

"Asher!" Hicca yells seeing her friend in the cage.

"And you too Mr. Night Fury and Mr. Skrill." Dagur says.

"Sorry, Hicca. He got the drop on us while we were searching-" Asher begins to explain.

"Uh, quiet! Can't you see my lover and I are having a moment?" Dagur asks.

"I'm not your lover and we are definitely not having a moment." Hicca says with disgust.

"Oh, well, I was. Look at you, all grown up! And quite the eye candy for the men, I'd wager. Hmm? Hmm? Love the new outfit." Dagur says admiring Hicca in her new attire.

"Dagur, what do you want?" Hicca asks.

"Duh, he wants the jewels." Snotlout says and flips her new-found royal hair.

"He's not getting my family's jewels. No way! And I'll protect them at all cost! Also, what is with that hair?" Tuffnut asks.

"Ha! It's royal hair, I'll have you know." Snotlout says flipping the hair around.

"Haven't gotten rid of the Greek chorus, I see. Anyway, yes, I'll take the jewels. His too." Dagur says as one of his Berserkers hit Ruffnut.

"Watch it, pal!" Ruffnut shouts making the Berserker laugh at her but she spits a jewel into his throat.

"Oh!" The Berserker says gagging on the jewel.

"Oops, thought that was the guy. Never can tell with those two. Now tell your Screaming Death to come out from behind that sea-stack." Dagur says making Hicca sigh and whistle as Screech flies and lands behind her. "My, it sure has grown. Now, I'll also take whatever it is you're hiding behind your back. Come on, hand it over like a good girl. Lovers share, you know." He says holding out his hand towards Hicca as she hands over the object.

"You know you're not going to get very far with that thing, right?" Hicca says.

"Oh, boy, here we go. Must we always do the same dance, Hicca, you and I? Not that you're not a fabulous dancer." Dagur says.

"Back off!" Toothless growls.

"Touch her and I'll turn you into an electrified corpse!" Voltage growls.

"And I'll feed what's left to the eels!" Screech growls.

"Easy, boys, not yet." Hicca says and then spots Sweet Scent and Slice crawling up behind the Berserkers from above.

"That's right, Mr. Night Fury, Mr. Skrill, and Mr. Screaming Death." Dagur says but then hears his Berserkers shouts as he turns around to see Sweet Scent's four heads grab the bludgeons and trap the two Berserkers while Slice destroys the crossbows the other two Berserkers had. "Huh? New dragons, impressive, but alas today is not the day, but it's coming! And soon. Now, if you'll excuse me." He says and snaps his fingers as four more Berserkers with crossbows come onto the ship and aim at the dragons. "I've got people to see, an army to build, revenge to plot. Ooh, so much to do and so little time. Isn't this exciting, Hicca? You-You must have been so bored over the last three years." He says.

"Yeah, he's got a point about that. Not enough explosions." Tuffnut says.

"Alas, my time here has come to an end. Farewell for now, my love. Until we meet again on the field of battle." Dagur says as he and his men leave the ship.

Hicca rush towards the edge and watches as Dagur and the Berserkers sail away and rush to the cage and tries to open it.

"Forget about us! Go after him." Asher says.

"What are you waiting for?" Snotlout asks blowing the royal hair out of her face.

"Are you guys sure you'll be okay?" Hicca asks.

"We're fine! Go!" Asher says.

"Come on, Hicca!" Toothless shouts as she mount his saddle and they take off after Dagur and the Berserkers.

"Here they come, sir, just like you said." A Berserker says.

"Still predictable, aren't you, my love?" Dagur says as the Berserkers push a catapult into position. "Fire!" He yells and a boulder is sent flying towards Hicca and her dragons.

"You missed, my dear!" Hicca says mockingly.

"Hicca, you should know by now, I never miss." Dagur says and Hicca soon realizes what he meant.

"Oh, no!" Hicca yells as the boulder strike the Reaper and begins to sink.

The riders grab onto the cage as the boat starts sinking and four jewels fall out of Tuffnut's tunic making him smile nervously as Ruffnut glares at her brother.

"Oh! Hicca! Get us out of here!" The riders yell.

"What's it going to be, Hicca? Catch me, save your friends? Ooh, tough one! Glad I'm not in your shoe." Dagur says chuckling.
