The team has started to begin do what they can to make sure that the Edge is secure from the Dragon Hunters.

The dragons were usually all they needed over the past few years, but they know they won't be able to help as much with those dragon root arrows they carry.

"We've been seeing ships off the northern coast that have absolutely no reason to be there." Hiccup explains why they're here. "With this, we can send an early warning signal if they come into our waters."

"If you're talking about Dagur and Ryker, which I'm assuming you are." Snotlout says.

"Actually, I wasn't." Hiccup tells him.

"How about this? Whoever's out there that shouldn't be out there, let's just get on these very effective fire-breathing war machines, and go out and blast them into oblivion." Snotlout finishes.

"Because that's not who we are, Snotlout. This island is ours and we defend ourselves. We don't strike unless threatened." Heather informs him.

"Don't worry, Hookster. She doesn't speak for us." Snotlout says as they hear cheering and see Ruff and Tuff sliding down the snow mountain and using their dragons blasts, causing the snow to fall with them. "Or them for that matter."

"Those two muttonheads better not bring all that snow up there down on us." Astrid warns them.

"It's not the snow I'm worried about." Hiccup says as they see the twins started a avalanche with ice falling down in them.

Seeing they're in trouble, they fly off to rescue them.

Fishlegs and Astrid rescued the twins as Hiccup rescued their dragon.

They all come back as Barf and Belch start licking Hiccup for rescuing them.

"Okay, I get it. You're welcome." Hiccup says and starts getting off of Toothless and Heather sees his leg is damaged.

"Hiccup, I wouldn't do that if I were..." Heather was saying, but was too late as Hiccup slips.

Barf and Belch help hiccup stand again and raises him into the air.

"Uh, can you put me down now, guys?" Hiccup asks of them and they drop him against Toothless. "And it's for moments like these that I always carry a spare." He states and pulls it out of Toothless' saddle and replaces it.

"So, if that's all you need from us, then we'll just be going back to..." Tuffnut was saying while he and Ruffnut start walking away.

"Windshear." Heather calls her dragon and she shoots spikes in front of the twins.

"Hey, your dragon just shot at us." Ruffnut tells her.

"I know she did, because I told her to." Heather says.

"Not cool, W. Not cool at all." Tuffnut tells the Razorwhip.

"Anyway, since you two seem so eager to spend some time away from the group, you get to pull the first two shifts of patrol duty." Hiccup tells them.

"He's really become a tyrant ever since we've found him." Ruffnut says to her brother.

"Power will do that to you." Tuffnut concourse as everyone flies off, leaving the twins.

-

They make it to the Edge where Hiccup goes to his hut followed by Heather.

"This leg needs to be filed down, it's pinching me." Hiccup tells Heather who chuckles at that as he opens the door to his hut, where they're met with a pile of fish falling on the two of them.

"Oh, for the love of Thor! Who did this?" Hiccup questions.

"Why are you even asking?" Heather wonders and Hiccup realizes he shouldn't be asking.

"Ruff! Tuff! Oh, I got another shift with your names on it." Hiccup warns them as their dragons start eating the fish.

"Really? You're eating the evidence?" Heather asks them.

-

Later they're back in the air and are searching for twins.

"Where are they? Hiccup asks.

"Well, shouldn't be too hard to find them. Just look for a fire or any other catastrophe, they can't be too far away." Heather says as they keep flying before Barf and Belch comes flying and takes Hiccup off of Toothless.

This causes the dragon to fall since he can't fly on his own.

"Toothless!" Heather and Hiccup call out as Heather leaps off of Windshear and gets onto Toothless' back and uses her knowledge on how to fly Toothless and was able to get him to the ground safely as Hiccup is dropped by the Zippleback and Windshear catches him by the foot.

"You guys okay?" Hiccup asks as Windshear brings him to the ground and sees Windshear accidentally bent his leg.

"We should be asking you that." Heather says and reaches into the saddle for another one of his legs where she sees that it's his last.

Hiccup places it on when Barf and Belch return and drop fish in front of the two of them.

"It was you guys?" Heather asks.

"You left me all that fish?" Hiccup questions.

"Wait, if they're here and the twins are nowhere to be found, then who's patrolling the island?" Heather questions and sees they're in trouble.

-

Ruffnut and Tuffnut are at the Edge, searching for their dragon as they can't seem to find it anywhere.

"This is all your fault." Ruffnut blures out.

"My fault?" Tuffnut questions.

"It's your attitude, bro. It's always been your attitude. And it finally drove our beloved dragon away!" Ruffnut tells him.

"My attitude my attitude is fun, carefree, adventurous, and loves long walks. And it doesn't matter if it's in a beach or not." Tuffnut says, getting off track.

As they keep arguing, Hiccup and Heather return with their dragon.

"Where did you two go? You had us worried sick." Ruffnut says as they reach their dragons.

"Where'd they go?" Hiccup questions. "Well, let's start with they filled our hut with fish, almost crashed me and Toothless out of the sky. And for their finale, they broke my second spare...leg!" He informs the two of them.

"So, if my calculations are correct, and they usually are..." Ruffnut says.

"That would mean that our dear Hiccup is on his..." Tuffnut continues.

"Last leg!" The Twins say at once and laugh.

"Get it? See what we did? It's because your leg. You don't have any more." Tuffnut explains .

"Listen, the four of you belong together. Now, please, can you get back on patrol and try to keep these two...just go." Hiccup says and leads the Zippleback over to them and climbs back on to Toothless. "Last leg." He munbles and the dragons seem to chuckle at the joke.

"Come on, you guys are above than that." Heather reminds them as they take off.

It didn't take them long until they realized they're following Hiccup.

"Okay, let's lose this guy." Hiccup tells Toothless.

The three fly around the island, constantly but always seem to manage to find each other as the two won't leave Hiccup alone.

-

That night, Hiccup and Heather look at the end of their bed to see Barf and Belch staring at the two of them.

"I'm gonna start dreaming about Zipplebacks." Heather states as she gets into bed.

"I think I'm starting to see them in my sleep." Hiccup says as he joins her in bed.

Toothless and Windshear get to bed as Toothless circles his rock and starts doing his bed routine before laying down with Windshear.

Barf and Belch see this and decided to do it themselves, causing the entire hut to shake.

"What, what?" Hiccup asks as the two are thrown out of bed to see them about to spark the gas.

"Don't!" They both shout when they blow up the entire inside of the hut.

Heather and Hiccup make it outside where they're met with the Zippleback again.

-

Needing the help, they brought Gobber in so he could fix all of Hiccup's legs as they're all damaged.

"So, you ruined all your legs, eh? Every single one?" Gobber asks him.

"All except for my original leg I just kept around." Hiccup says and looks down to the first leg that Heather made for him four years ago. But that gets interrupted by Barf and Belch licking him and Heather.

"Okay, what's gotten into these two?" Heather wonders.

"It's really strange. Zipplebacks are normally fiercely loyal." Fishlegs says. "Why are they doting on Hiccup and Heather and ignoring you two?" He wonders.

"Well, didn't hiccup pull them out of the way of a deadly avalanche?" Gobber questions.

"Yeah." Hiccup confirms.

"Well, there you go. Same thing as my cousin, Bard. He saved a Zippleback from a Changewing. The beast wouldn't leave him alone...for years." Gobber explains.

"So, this could go on forever?" Tuffnut asks.

"Exactly, it's a life debt. Barf and Belch will now serve Hiccup, along with Heather as she's Hiccup's other, for the rest of their lives or until the debt is repaid. Whichever comes first." Gobber explains.

"You're saying we could be stuck with them forever?" Hiccup asks Gobber.

"Does this mean we could loose them forever?" Tuffnut asks.

"Yes, and yes." Gobber says and now they know what to do. They just need to get the dragon to save Hiccup's life.

-

After several attempts, which have gone nowhere.

One ending as a game.

The second one ended with Heather and Windshear needing to save him.

Back at the twins hut, they're working on a new way to put Hiccup in danger.

Ruffnut looses her frustration and is angry to how they can't get their dragon back.

"What's wrong, sis? I haven't seen him this sad since bjorn boar lost in the inter-archipelago sectionals." Tuffnut reminds her.

"That was a sad day. But this is worse." Ruffnut tells him. "Do you realize we have nothing? Nothing, I tell you. If we don't think of something, we may never get our dragon ack from that tyrant. Why? Why do they love him more than us?" She questions.

"It's the forbidden fruit. You always want what you can't have." Tuffnut tells his sister. "The dragon's always hotter oh the other side. We need help. We need someone diabolical. Someone completely devoid of any continence, or any human emotion whatsoever."

"I can only think of one man that soulless." Ruffnut says as they form a new plan.

-

The next morning, Hiccup wakes up and sees Heather is still asleep as he goes out for some air.

But once he gets out there, he's met by Snotlout.

"Hey." He greets Hiccup.

"H-Hey?" Hiccup says while rubbing his eyes before getting hit by Snotlout and drops to the ground.

"What is wrong with you!?" Hiccup questions as he gets back up.

"Hiccup Haddock, I'm calling you out! Defend yourself!" Snotlout warns before swinging an ax between his legs. "Fight me." He tells Hiccup.

"What? What are you doing?" Hiccup asks him.

"I said, fight me." Snotlout tells him. "What's that Hiccup? You want to fight to the death?"

"What? Who said that? Nobody said that!" Hiccup states, completely confused to what's happening.

"You did." Snotlout says and keeps swinging the ax.

From a distance, Tuff and Ruff are watching as their dragon approaches the two.

"Here they come. Life debt no more." Tuffnut tells his sister.

"You think Snotlout will get barbecued?" Ruffnut asks.

"Sis, I have to say, I always knew that Snotlout would end up as collateral damage." Tuffnut admits as they watch the fight.

Snotlout gets his ax stuck in the table and Hiccup starts walking away when Snotlout flicks his ear.

"Ow! I'm not going to fight you, Snotlout!" Hiccup states and continues to walk off.

"You see that? The great Night Rider is a coward!" Snotlout says and Hiccup then stops in his tracks. "You heard me. Come on. Hit me. You know you want to." He mocks Hiccup who just gives in.

"Fine. But remember. You wanted this." Hiccup reminds him before giving him a punch to the face.

"Ow!" Snotlout cries out in pain and takes a few steps back. "What'd you do that for? Hold on. I gotta take a..." he was saying before collapsing.

Heather wakes up hearing the screams and comes out to see him collaps as Barf and Beach return and drops fish off before flying off.

"That was incredible." Ruffnut admits.

"Who knew that that scrawny, little one legged dragon hero had that in him." Tuffnut says, agreeing.

"That does it. There's nothing left." Ruffnut says sadly.

"Gobber was right. We lost our dragon for good." Tuffnut says.

"But on the bright side, Snotlout did just get punched in the face." Ruffnut says, seeing a bright side.

Hiccup and Heather stand over Snotlout as he starts waking back up.

"Mom, dad, Hiccup punched me. I'm really thirsty." Snotlout says before passing out.

"Clubhouse, now." Hiccup tells the twins.

"And get him some ice." Heather adds on.

-

The five of them are in the clubhouse as Snotlout holds a block of ice to his face and Hiccup paces back and forward.

"A little warning would've been nice." Hiccup tells the twins.

"Well, to be honest, Hiccup, we figured out what was ruining our plans." Tuffnut tells him.

"It was you." Ruffnut explains.

"Me?" Hiccup asks.

"You, my friend, are a terrible actor." Tuffnut states.

"So you made Snotlout attack him?" Heather clarified.

"Surprise is the word we prefer to use." Ruffnut says.

"We needed a real reaction." Tuffnut replies.

"And boy did we get one. Eh, Snotlout?" Ruffnut asks the Viking in pain.

Snotlout just reaches into his mouth and pulls out a tooth from the force of the punch.

"Unfortunately, we weren't expecting Thor's mighty hammer to meet Snotlout's paper jaw." Tuffnut admits, since that was a surprise nobody other than Heather saw coming.

"Okay, you do realize that if Barf and Belch had actually tried to save me, Snotlout would have been roasted alive?" Hiccup asks of them and Snotlout gasps at the news.

"We took that into account in our risks assessment." Ruffnut tells him.

"This situation is seriously getting out of hand." Hiccup tells Heather who agrees.

"Please, Hiccup, you've gotta help us. We're lost without our dragon." Tuffnut tells him. "We have nothing to live for. Don't you understand?"

"We will get you your dragon back." Heather promises, since she can't tolerate the Zippleback any more tan Hiccup can.

"But, you two have to stop. Stop your plans, stop your schemes. Okay? I'm gonna figure this out." Hiccup tells them and starts walking out. "I just need time alone." He says and leaves them.

As he left, Heather looks to see Snotlout lost two more teeth and is slightly proud of Hiccup.

Hiccup was walking alone in the forest and didn't know the Zippleback was watching him when he was suddenly attacked and a bag was placed over his head.

"Really, guys? What did I say?" Hiccup asks as he's unknowingly kidnapped by Dragon Hunters.

Barf and Belch see this happening and races after him.

The two men bring Hiccup to their boat and bring out Dagur as he's tied to the post.

"Okay, This the single worst pan you have ever come up with." Hiccup states as they remove the sack over his face and he sees Dagur and Ryker.

"Oh, I don't know, Hiccup. You're our prisoner. Seems like a brilliant plan to me." Dagur tells him while laughing. "So, looks like your little island stronghold isn't so strong after all. It's completely unguarded from the north. You know, it doesn't take much to put in a watchtower." He informs Hiccup.

"I'm working on it." Hiccup replies annoyed.

-

Back on the Edge, Toothless is staring off into the ocean starting to get worried when Heather approaches him.

"You're worried, too? Yeah, I'm starting to as well." Heather admits.

"Has anyone seen Hiccup?" Ruffnut asks. "We can't find him and guess who else is gone? Can't trust anyone."

"Okay, now there is definitely something wrong." Heather tells the group.

-

Back on the boat, they start sailing away from the Edge with Hiccup on board.

"We are gonna extract every little piece of dragon knowledge from that tiny coconut shaped noggin. We're gonna use you to take us to every island that you have ever visited, then you will tell us what dragons you are hiding on that island of yours." Dagur tells him their plan with him.

"And if I don't?" Hiccup questions.

"Ah, I hope you don't." Ryker says while holding a sword to his neck.

Suddenly, the front of the boat explodes and they turn to see Barf and Belch are attacking.

They fly around the boat several times while they release gas then ignited it as a distraction to help Hiccup as he makes his way over to them.

"First time in a while that I've been happy to see you guys." Hiccup tells the dragon as the hunters come in and they fight them off, but then send a blast into the air calling for help.

-

The Edge sees the explosion and they fly off towards it, leaving the twins since they can't help.

"Hey, Wait! That's our dragon out there." Tuffnut states.

"What do we do?" Ruffnut asks when the two look next to them and see Toothless is still there.

"Hey, T, how you been?" Tuffnut asks him and the dragon sees what they're thinking.

-

Back on the ship, Barf and Belch are trying to help Hiccup when Ryker comes in, ready to finish Hiccup off but the dragon helps Hiccup and they take off.

Hiccup looks as he almost runs into everyone else, but managed to run into Ruff and Tuff on Toothless causing them all to separate.

"Hiccup!" Heather shouts, seeing him plumit.

Hiccup just makes his way to his dragon and gets back in the air while Ruff and Tuff got Barf and Belch back and they take off.

"Back in the saddle, baby." Tuffnut cheers as they fly back to the group.

"Now let's get these guys away from the Edge." Hiccup says and they all go in and started destroying their weaponry and they decide to retreat.

-

The next day, Ruff and Tuff are enjoying having their dragon back

"So, it would seem the life debt has been repaid." Heather says seeing the twins and their dragon.

"Barf and Belch saved me from the Dragon Hunters, and the twins saved their dragon from drowning. Everything's back to normal." Hiccup assures her.

But then suddenly Snotlout comes charging and tackles Hiccup.

"Will someone please tell this lunatic it's over?!" Hiccup asks.

"Snotlout!" Snotlout cheers.
