Astrid stared in disbelief. There was no way. "But-I thought she-what." the blonde stuttered out. Hiccup put his hand on the back of his neck and laughed. "I couldn't believe it either."

Valka had a smile on her face, but upon seeing Astrids glare it soon faded. Astrid had every right to be upset at her, and they both knew that. Hiccup could feel the tension so much it hurt.

Toothless' head popped up, and his ears twitched. Hiccup, knowing full well that his dragon sensed something, raised an eyebrow and walked toward the Nightfury. "What is it bu-" he was cut off by the large dragon tackling him, covering his vody with his wings.

He could hear Stormfly squawk and a surprised Astrids gasp. Suddenly there was a large banging sound, and ice shattering. After a few moments, Toothless climbed off his rider.

Hiccup stood up, looking around him, he saw Astrid and Valka do the same. Valka ran ahead of the couple, and stared in disbelief. Hiccups brows furrowed at what he saw before him. There were what seemed like hundreds of ships! Dragons flying around it.

"Drago." Valka groaned, and held her staff up, Cloudjumper went over to her and bent down, allowing the woman to climb atop of him. "Dra-who?" Hiccup inquired, but Valka ignored him and flew off.

Meanwhile...

Stoick stood at the dock, watching everyone leave the boat, eagerly watching for Snotlout. Once Snotlouteft the boat, the chief ran to him. "What happened?" he demanded, but couldn't help feeling a wave of relief wash over him.

"Those riders." the Jorgenson grumbled, crossing his arms. Fishlegs stood silently. "They let out the Nightmare." Stoick angirly added, clenching his fists.

Snotlout just nodded "One of them held an axe to my throat!" Fishlegs squeaked out, and the two men looked at him with raised eyebrows. "We need to find them." Stoick confirmed, crossing his arms over his chest.

Snotlout shook his head. "No way! These riders were clearly well trained, and their dragons! We wouldn't stand a chance." Stoick let out a belly laugh.

"Its true! They were better with their axes than-" Fishlegs stopped himself, and Stoick gave him a death glare. The chief cleared his throat and walked off. Snotlout shook his head at Fishelgs, before walking into the other direction.

Later...

Hiccup stared with wide eyes as the large Bewilderbeast made its way through the ocean, their dragons following him. Valka gasped behind him.

Hiccup turned around, and flipped the front of his mask up. "I-" he sounded so defeated. He felt so vulnerable. They lost. What was he supposed to do?

Astrid ran up to them, but she looked frightened. "Hiccup!" she desperately called out, holding a paper in the air. Once she got to them she handed it to him, and his expression quickly changed.

"They're going to Berk." he announced, tensing up. "We need to go to Berk." the two women looked at him as if he were crazy. "Berk? We would definitely be recognized!" Valka stated, tightening her grip on her staff.

"At this point it doesnt matter! After Berl theyre going to Berserker Island, and that cant happen!" the dragon rider crumbled the paper and threw it on the ground, in a for of anger.

"Bu-How?" Astrid inquired, looking into the distance, with a solemn look on her face. Hiccup furrowed his brows in deep thought, for once, he was lost.

Suddenly, a small squawk was heard, and the three of them looked at where it was coming from. Out of the large ice fortress, a baby dragon flew out, looking confused, and for its mother.

"The baby dragons! They can't be controlled!" Valka exclaimed, and looked to her son, who then had a smile on his face.

Sorry for being gone for so long, I took a much needed hiatus, but hopefully I will be updating more often!
