The Dragon Riders

Escaping our old ways

"Is everything set up?" Astrid asked as she leans inside the open car door.

"Hopefully this will work... if not... then it was worth trying," Hiccup said and closed the car door.

"It was short... but these months were the best times of my life," she said and smiled at him.

"Now don't start talking like that" Hiccup said

"I know but I just wanted you to know," she said and hug him. Hiccup smiled and hugged her back.

The next day

Fishlegs took a few breaths as he stood in front of Drago. Hiccup and Astrid had set everything up, and now it was all up to Fishlegs to get Drago to their location. Fishlegs was nervous and no one would blame him. Drago kills people for ridiculous reasons, and he didn't want to end up dead but he had too. He would have been long dead if it weren't for Hiccup, he wanted to repay him and today was the day.

"What do you want?" Drago asked and glared.

"One of the scouts came back with news," Fishlegs said After he had calm down. He had to act like normal or else Drago would get suspicious of him.

"And What is it?" He asked annoyed.

"They've spotted Hiccup and Astrid," he said and anxiously waited to see if Drago would take the bait.

"What?! Are you sure about this?" Drago asked.

'Thank Thor is stupid' Fishlegs thought.

"Yes, they currently in a restaurant" Fishlegs continued with his lie.

"How are you certain about this? You're not lying to me are you?" Drago asked and pulled out his gun at him.

"No! Drago, I swear it's true" Fishlegs said and felt the sweat falling down the side of his head. "Loyalty to the gang!" He quickly said.

Drago narrowed his eyes at him and took a moment to think. He didn't have any reason to mistrust Fishlegs. They never had an argument or anything, he was just another pawn in his war.

"Where?" Drago asked and lowered his gun.

Fishlegs sighed in relief and quickly told Drago the location Hiccup had instructed him to say. Fishlegs went to hide behind a building to get a better look, and to make sure Drago wasn't planning anything that would ruin the plan.

"There they are," Drago said as he walked towards the parked car. He laughs softly as he took out his gun, he aimed it at Hiccup's head as he pretended to look for something around the seat.

"Get ready Astrid…." Hiccup whispered softly as he adjusted the small mirror he had, he titled it slightly to get a better reflection of Drago. "The first explosion will give her cover and exit the car, the second explosion will destroy the car… We have five seconds in between both explosions,"

"I'm ready, Hiccup," Astrid said as she slowly opened the passenger side door. Hiccup nodded and took out a small remote, he waited for Drago to approach slightly.

"Three…. Two…. One…" Hiccup whispered as he pressed down on the button. Astrid quickly opened the door and exit the vehicle, she pulled on Hiccup's hand as they both ran behind a dumpster as the second explosion blew up the car.

"UGH!" Drago shouted as he covered his eyes from the bright explosion. Drago back from the burning car and groan in annoyance. "No! I wanted to kill them!" he shouted and notice a metal coin flying from out of the car and slide towards him. Drago bend down and examined the coin and realized it was the Hunter's logo.

"Let's hope this works," Fishlegs thought as he managed to join Hiccup and Astrid without Drago noticing.

"The Hunter….. they must have placed a hit…. Dammit! They got to them before me!" Drago said and hit his fist against the ground. Drago didn't suspect anything from the fake car explosion. Hiccup and Astrid were valuable players in the gang war, so it made perfect sense why they would want to get rid of them.

Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs all lean their heads from behind the dumpster and watch as Drago inspected the burning car. They all held their breath as Drago smiled and nodded his head, he recognizes, The Hunter's signature. The Hunters had a specific way to kill people from blowing up cars, and everyone knows how it looked like.

"Good! Looks like the Hunters got to them before me," Drago said. He was annoyed he couldn't kill Hiccup and Astrid himself, but he was happy they were dead. Drago took out a cigar and laugh as he left the scene before the cops arrived.

"It works….we're finally free," Hiccup said as he moved away from the side of the wall. He sighed in relief and smiled at Astrid as he hugs her tightly in his arms, "We can finally be together!"

"Hiccup! Thank you so much," Astrid said and hug him back

"For what?" he asked

"For freeing me from a mistake I made….." Astrid said and held his hands, "And giving me a new life with you,"

Hiccup smiled big and kissed Astrid on the lips. He hugs her once more and placed his hand on the back of her head.

"Let's get out of here," he said

"I'll follow you wherever you go, babe," Astrid said and kissed his hand

5 years later

Hiccup sat on the sofa and watch the news with a cup of coffee on the table, and his grilled cheese sandwich in one hand. He flips through the channels and notices something about the Dragon Riders.

"Astrid! Hurry come here!" Hiccup shouted

"What?" Astrid asked as she held a two-year-old baby in her arms

"Look," Hiccup said and pointed to the screen. Astrid sat down and placed Lily on her lap and watch the news report.

"Police raided a warehouse earlier this morning and went into a shootout with the gang, the Dragon Riders. Ten members of the Dragon Riders have been killed along with two policemen. The police are saddened by the loss of their comrades but are relieved the leader of the Dragon Riders, Drago Buldvist has been killed." The news anchor said.

"He's dead…." Astrid said and shouted in joy, "Yes! We're finally free!"

"We're already free," Hiccup said and laugh

"You know what I mean," Astrid said and rolled her eyes, "We don't have to look over our shoulder anymore,"

"We finally got out happily ever after," Hiccup said and kissed her cheek
