Chapter 7: An Accidental Reunion ( Part 4 )

The dragon riders were now at Saga's island, Oasis and they were trying to fly through the storm to look for any signs of Saga or her dragon.

Fishlegs: Hiccup, we have to land! The storm is too powerful!-

Ruffnut: Net!

The dragon riders then saw a huge net that was made out of some kind of pink gooey substance, they tried to dodge the net, but due to the large size, it still caught them.

Tuffnut: EW! WHY IS THE NET STICKY?!

The riders screamed as they and their dragons were falling down from the sky.

( Meanwhile, with Saga, on the island )

Saga was standing next to the net launcher she stole and upgraded with Winky sitting beside her, revealing that she was the one that shot the riders down...again. Winky turned his head to Saga and tilted his head at her.

Saga: Okay, I know this has been the second time I shot these guys down, but this time it was for their own good. They were trying to fly through a tropical storm.

Saga then walked a few feet away and in front of the net launcher and drew a giant X on the ground with a stick as the riders' screams got closer and closer, and Saga then looked up to see the riders when she went back to stand next to the launcher.

Saga: Is it just me, or does the angry blonde lady and the guy with the night fury seem familiar?

Winky cutely shrugs his shoulders in response.

That's when the riders and their dragons landed onto the X, and thanks to the trees around the spot, they had a somewhat gentle landing.

Saga: ( to the riders, with a smile: ) Hi again!

Astrid: ( a bit angrily: ) You shot us down again?!

Saga: Yes, but this time, I did it so you guys wouldn't get blown away by the storm. Don't worry, the net is made out of an edible chemical compound, so your dragons can just eat you guys out of the net.

When hearing this, Meatlug, and Barf &Belch quickly began eating the gooey net, freeing themselves and the group. Toothless then noticed Winky and looked at the baby night fury with curiosity and shock, causing Hiccup and the other riders to turn to see what the night fury was looking at. While the riders looked at the baby night fury in shock, Winky just greeted them with a cute wink.

Astrid: Is that...

Hiccup: Another night fury. Toothless isn't the only one.

Saga froze with a shock expression when she heard the name of the adult night fury.

Saga: Toothless...?

Toothless looked at Saga and she slowly began to recognize the night fury in front of her.

Saga: I can't believe it, but shouldn't you be- ( gasps before she turned to the riders )

Hiccup: You remember us, don't you?

Saga: Hiccup?

Hiccup nodded his head, and Saga then slowly began to recognize the others. Winky hid behind Saga as he was confused about what was going on.

Saga: But, How- ( with a confused expression and tears in her eyes: ) Why did you come back? I told Gobber that I didn't want anyone on Berk wasting their time looking for me.

Hiccup: We know that you left for the sake of your dragon.

Saga was about to say something when she saw something flying towards them.

Saga: DUCK!

The riders and the dragons ducked out of the way as a tree almost crushed them. Saga was hugging Winky in her arms.

Saga: ( to the riders: ) We need to continue this after we take cover. Follow me, we have a storm shelter nearby!

Saga then placed Winky on Toothless's saddle before she grabbed Hiccup and Astrid's wrists, and the group followed her as she began running in the direction of a hidden cave behind a large tree. They followed her inside, and she then pulled a lever that was in the wall, causing a dragon proof metal door to drop down and block the entrance behind them, and the group started regaining their breath from all the running they did to get there.

Saga: ( sighs as she lets go of Hiccup and Astrid's wrists ) ( silently, under her breath: ) Why couldn't you just listen...

The riders and the dragons looked at Saga in concern, Winky walked to Saga and nuzzled her leg, Saga gave him a sad smile before she picked him up and cradled him in her arms.

Hiccup: Saga-

Saga: You shouldn't have come back to this island or found me. I just mess things up for every human around me. Just... ( With a sad smile: ) Just stay here til the storm is over, and once it's gone, leave and go back to ignoring my existence like everyone else.

Saga then began walking further into the cave. Despite what Saga said, Hiccup and the gang followed her further inside with their dragons following.

Fishlegs: Hiccup, are you sure this is a good idea?

Hiccup: We're not just going to leave her and her dragons here.

Snotlout: Are you sure about that-

The riders' eyes then widened as they had followed Saga into an underground cavern that had a giant glowing blue crystal in the back of it where Saga's flightmare is seen curled up in a large nest in front of the crystal with four more baby night furies curled up against her and a bunch of eggs inside the nest, Saga was carefully placing Winky in the nest. Toothless was in awe to seeing four more baby furies.

( A/n: I don't own the image, this is what the place looks like. )

Tuffnut: Okay, as cool as this place is... what's with Saga and the underground and caves? First the underground lake, now an underground carven. What's next? An underground hot spring? Also, is that a wingless night fury?

Tesla lifted her head up and she quickly roared in distress, jumped out of the nest startling the baby furies, and the flightmare hid behind the giant crystal shaking in fear. Saga didn't face the riders, she calmed all five of the baby furies by petting each of their heads as she had a sad expression on her face.

Saga: ( to the riders, without looking at them: ) I'm not good at people, but I am good at alchemy. So I thought if I used alchemy to help the village, people would like me, but... I always messed it up and just became either too weird or to be a nuisance in their eyes. Even you guys didn't even notice my attempts to help protect the village...

Hiccup and the other riders all shared surprised and sad looks as Saga continued.

Saga: ( to the riders, without looking at them: ) When Barf and Belch were blamed for stealing the boots. I tried proving to the village that it wasn't them because there wasn't any trace of dragon saliva on them, dried or wet. But Stoick said that it wasn't enough proof... Then when I saw you guys looking through the beach and overheard about Mildew throwing the evidence that proved that he framed the dragons into the ocean, I tried to look for them by going into the water, but I only ended up almost drowning and getting yelled at by Spitelout for doing something reckless. I even tried to find a cure for the blue oleander when Mildew had brought it to the island by using the flower itself, but I only ended up almost setting my house on fire. And anytime when one of my inventions or creations actually does become a success, I always end up choosing the wrong time to tell people, and they never have time to even want to see. The only people that ever saw me as more than a nuisance was my mom and my dragons....

Hiccup: Saga, listen... How everyone treated you back on Berk wasn't right, and I assure you, if we could go back in time, we would. This won't change it, but, just give us the chance to make it up to you by helping you and your dragons-

Saga: ( turns to the riders, confused ) But, we don't need any help.

Astrid: Saga, how many hunter ships have you raided?

Saga: Let me think... According to my calculations, given the number of how I found the hunter ships may it have been accidental, on purpose, or them sending ships after me because I keep stealing any night fury eggs I find from their possession...

The riders shared a shock look before turning to Saga, who was still mentally counting down the number of how many ships she had raided.

Hiccup: You have more night fury eggs?

Saga: Yeah, about 15 of 'em. ( To Tesla: ) Hey, Tes, should I count the ship that we stole?

Tesla roars in response as she stays hiding behind the giant crystal while the baby furies had jumped out of the nest and began cutely sniffing at Toothless out of curiosity.

Saga: ( honestly, with a calm smile: ) Then, that means I had raided about... 5,789 ships that I found on accident, 6,135 ships that I found on purpose, and 106 ships that were sent after me since Tesla and I left Berk.

The riders and their dragons looked at Saga in complete shock, which she looked at them with confusion in response.

Saga: What?

Hiccup: Anyway... We could help you with taking down the ships and help you keep you and your dragons safe.

Saga: ( with a smile: ) I do not get what you are leading with this, but feel free to continue if it makes you happy.

Hiccup: What I'm saying is-

Tuffnut: You should join the team!

Ruffnut: Yeah!

Saga: Uh... I don't think us going back to Berk is a good idea...

Hiccup: We aren't to have you go back to Berk if you don't want to, you can stay with us on our outpost, Dragon's Edge-

Rascal interrupted Hiccup by stealing his fake leg and taking off with it as the night fury twins, Ruff and Tuff tripped Snotlout. Toothless quickly began trying to take the fake leg away from Rascal.

Snotlout: Hey!

Saga: Rascal! No stealing legs! Ruff, Tuff, no tripping.

Ruffnut: ( confused ) We didn't trip him.

Tuffnut: Yeah, it was them. ( Points to the twin baby furies )

Saga: No, Ruff and Tuff are their names, they are twins and they are mischievous so I sorta named them after you two.

The twins had the biggest smiles on their faces when hearing this.

Snotlout: Oh, no.

Astrid: Great...

Tuffnut: I love it!

Ruffnut: ( picks up Ruff & Tuff ) You two have so much to learn.

Fishlegs: Welp, we're doomed.

Panther was cutely glaring at Hookfang, who lowered his head to look at the baby fury, and when he got close enough, Panther cutely smacked him on the nose with his claw while Saga took Hiccup's fake leg from Rascal and gave it back to Hiccup, who thanked her.

Saga: Panther, no picking fights.

Astrid: Panther?

Saga: He looks like a tiny little panther dragon.

Winky looks up at Astrid and cutely winks at her.

Astrid: Why does he keep winking at us?

Saga: That's how Winky greets people and dragons.

Saga then went to Tesla behind the giant crystal.

Saga: ( quietly: ) What do you think, girl? Should we?

Tesla whines in response as she was still shaking in fear.

Saga: I know, you're still afraid of them because of what happened, but we could need all the help we can get when those 15 baby furies arrive and if we are going to find more eggs. Plus, Ryker and his hunters are heckbent on capturing us and get closer and closer to finding Oasis every day. Maybe we should give it a try at least?

Tesla was hesitant about the idea, but she knew that her rider was right, so she nuzzled her rider in response.

Saga: ( pets the flightmare's head ) You're a very brave dragon for doing this, Tes. Love ya.

Saga then walked out from the giant crystal and looked at the riders with a stern expression.

Saga: Alright, we'll join you, but you yourselves have to work up to earn Tesla's forgiveness because she's still deathly afraid of you six.

Snotlout: It's not our fault-

Saga: You guys rerouted her algae route without thinking about what could happen if you did so.

All the riders made nervous looks as Saga made a point.

Tuffnut: She got us there, Hiccup.

Saga: But, we have to set up a nursery for the eggs and the baby furies to stay in, and we are taking my alchemy stuff with me. That includes the ship I stole and the net launcher.

Astrid: Seriously? The ship?

Saga: ( with a smile: ) Yes! I am planning on giving it a whole alchemy weaponry upgrade! But we still need to wait out the storm, so I can get Tesla's saddle and her saddle attachment to transport the baby furies and the eggs, from my cave. It should be over by tomorrow morning.

Hiccup: Then we'll camp here for tonight and get everything you need, then leave for the edge in the morning.

Snotlout: ( to Saga, trying to hit on her: ) Don't worry, babe, you can stay at my place.

Saga: I don't know what that word you call me means.

Panther growls at Snotlout and bites him in the leg, making the twins laugh.

Snotlout: OW!

Saga: Panther, no biting!

( Ten minutes later )

Tesla and the baby furies were now asleep in the nest while the riders had set up a spot for them to sleep a few feet away from the flightmare, so she doesn't have to feel scared. Saga was already asleep in a tent that she had set up after she saw the storm coming. Toothless was looking over at the baby furies and the night fury eggs, as he wanted to be near them, but he knew that the flightmare didn't want him to be

Fishlegs: I can't believe it, five baby night furies, and they're so cute!

Hiccup: I can't believe it either, Toothless isn't the last one of his kind anymore.

Astrid: Yeah, I just hope we can get Saga's flightmare to not be afraid of us soon. I hate seeing that dragon so afraid of us, the poor thing.

Snotlout: Yeah...

Hiccup: ( to Astrid, reinsuringly: ) I'm sure she will, we just need to give her some time to warm up to us.

The riders and their dragons then began to go to sleep for the night, as they wait for the storm to be over in the morning.
