"Go on," Grimmel spits out, (D/N) glaring at him as he makes his way towards the ship.
Toothless weakly roars after him, thrashing against the restraints before whining.

"Watch yourselves." A guard warns the others as (D/N) lands, his body swaying slightly in exhaustion.

Cloudjumper lands next to him, guards yelling and pushing him into a cage. Vritra squawks after him, landing with a whine before crying out as guards yell and aim their spears at her.

Cloudjumper turns with a roar, Vritra quickly quickly turning and shaking her head, urging him not to do anything. Toothless roars in warning, (D/N)'s ears flattening as he lowly rumbles.

"That's right, Alpha," Grimmel snickers,
Toothless glaring over at him. "No surprises."
The guards yell, urging both Vritra and Cloudjumper into cages, Toothless calling over to the two with a whine.

(D/N) rumbles, turning around and slowly backing into the cage as the men sneer with laughs. Cloudjumper looks between Toothless and (D/N) before snorting, shaking his head as he walks into a cage.

...

A dragon growls lowly, guarding a baby dragon with its wing as the door was slammed shut. Dragons hiss as cage after cage they were locked in, the men laughing triumphantly.

...

The group look over the cliff, their suites corresponding with their dragons colors.
"So...jump off the cliff, in these." Ruffnut questions, opening her leather flight suit.

"That's the best you got?!"

"No." Hiccup shakes his head, pointing between the group. "You guys are the best we've got."

"We can't do this without you guys." (Y/N) nods, fixing her wings and rolling her shoulders.

"Aww!" Ruffnut gushes, grabbing her braid with a grin as she looks between the two.
"I'm with-" Tuffnut goes to yell, interrupted by his sister.

"I'm with them! Who else?"

"Ruffnut! That was my line," Tuffnut grumbles, angling his head up as he stares down at her. "Come on!" (Y/N) sighs, shaking her head as she and Hiccup start racing forward.

"Try to keep up!" Astrid jokes with a smirk, racing after her friends with a cry of laughter.

Hiccup jumps first, (Y/N) following with a yell of excitement. Astrid whoops, opening her wing suit as the others do the same.

...

Toothless gasps as the Light Fury was pulled away from him, making him screech after her.
The Woolly Howl thrashes against her restraints, roaring as she strains against
them.

Toothless was lowered, the men ready to take him. He snarls, the men gasping and jolting away.

Grimmel smirks, laughing. "You didn't really think I'd hand you the Night Fury, did you? He and that Howl are mine to kill!"

"That snake!" The woman gasps, her friends backing away as Toothless continues to thrash around. "I intend to finish what I started." Grimmel calls.

"Best of luck controlling the others without an Alpha!"

"Look out!!" (Y/N)'s voice shouts in the distance, making Grimmel quickly look
over with wide eyes.

"We're coming!" Hiccup also shouts, the group yelling in agreement. He squints, gasping when he sees Hiccup and (Y/N) leading the others their way.

Hiccup dives down, (Y/N) close as the others follow. Tuffnut whimpers, flailing around and grabbing Ruffnut's foot.

"Let go!" She shouts, kicking him away.
"Could've used some practice!" Snotlout cries out, wobbling. Fishlegs pants heavily as he flaps his wings, "I should've skipped breakfast."

Grimmel swiftly turns, aiming his crossbow at (Y/N). Hiccup dives down to him, running into him and shoving him away from his weapon. He yells as he falls, quickly gripping onto one of the beams.

(Y/N) yells as he spirals around, out of control. He steadies himself, him and (Y/N) flying together as they swerve to avoid masts.

"Buds!" Hiccup shouts, Toothless nodding.
He roars, Cloudjumper swiftly bursting through his cage and blasting fire at the men as they scream.

(D/N) screeches as he rams the doors open, rushing through men as they back away in fear.

Cloudjumper flies near Toothless, who roars for him to take care of the other ships. He nods with a roar back, leading the other free dragons.

...

The group land with grunts, Fishlegs shakily whooping as he lowers himself with a rope.
Fishmeat appears from his pouch, snarling.

"Perfect timing!" Hiccup notices, the group grinning and getting to work as men start charging them.

(Y/N) draws her sword, Hiccup activating his flame-sword and the others getting their weapons ready.

"Yeah! What are you waiting for? Get in there!" Snotlout nods, his cape snagged on a
beam. Hiccup sighs, (Y/N) shaking her head in annoyance before facing forward.

(Y/N) clashes her blade with a man's spear, holding him back as Astrid rushes from behind, sending a harsh kick to his back and sending him overboard.

Hiccup grunts as he fights off a man, kicking him away as he looks up at Toothless.

...

Toothless manages to snap the muzzle off, roaring at (D/N) as he was surrounded by men. The Woolly Howl hisses, her claws poking out and cutting the netting.

She continues thrashing around with roars as the men throw chains over (D/N), him roaring and blasting fire at them as he struggles to get free.

Grimmel pants heavily as he climbs back up, gasping when he sees Toothless glaring up at him.

He aims his crossbow, Toothless gathering a plasma ball in his mouth and blasting it at Grimmel as he yelps and dodges it.

...

The Woolly Howl screeches as the restraints snap more, and she breaks free as the structure starts tilting. She falls for a moment before straightening herself out, diving to the ship and crashing into the men holding (D/N)'s chains.

(D/N) yanks the chains off him, snarling at the remaining men as the Howl joins his side with a hiss.

The men gasp with yelps, swiftly turning and fleeing as (D/N) huffs after them, the Howl roaring to him with relief.

...

Grimmel races along the structure as it catches fire, leaping and grabbing onto a netting. He looks down before gasping when he sees Toothless and (D/N), both preparing to fire at him.

He sharply whistles, jumping to avoid the blasts as the Deathgrippers roar, struggling to keep flying.

The other Deathgrippers start to destroy the trapper ships in an attempt to get the group.
(Y/N) leaps out of the way, grunting as she starts fighting with another man.

She swings her sword down before swinging her free hand, side-punching his cheek and backing up as she pants lightly.

"Heads up!" Hiccup yells, cutting a rope with his sword.

The beam snaps, swinging down and ramming into the man.  (Y/N) breathlessly laughs, her eyes widening when she looks behind him.

"Look out!"

She throws her sword, making it spiral in the air as Hiccup ducks. The hilt rams against the man's head, knocking him out.

Hiccup grins as he approaches, raising his mask, "That was quite attractive, don't you think?"

"Me saving you is attractive?" (Y/N) laughed, bringing her hand up to gently tug her boyfriend closer to her.

Hiccup tilts his head, a small smile on his face. "Definitely.." (Y/N) playfully rolls her eyes as she grabs one of his gas grenades, pulling the pin and tossing it towards a group of men.

They look at it in confusion as Hiccup continues watching (Y/N), wrapping an arm around her waist and gently kissing her as he tosses his flaming-sword in the gas, lighting it.

"Alright, lovebirds, focus!" Astrid teasingly calls, swinging herself down from a beam with a grunt.

"Hmm," (Y/N) hums back with a laugh before looking around with squinted eyes.

...

(D/N) snarls at Grimmel before perking up, his ear flickering back. The Howl snorts, focusing on Grimmel as (D/N) rushes to his friend.

(D/N) roars as he flies over the flames, swooping down to (Y/N). He grabs her and Hiccup, one in each paw before helping them up as he starts flying up to Grimmel.

The Woolly Howl joins them before swerving to the left, swiftly flying and blasting another part of the structure as Grimmel yelps.

(Y/N) yells as a Deathgripper swoops down, colliding with them. Hiccup cries out as he was thrown off the dragon, (D/N) roaring as he fights off the Deathgripper.

He claws at its face, making it screech before it lets go and flies to safety. The Howl quickly dives after Hiccup, grabbing him as he pants lightly with a sigh of relief.

...

"You need to help them!" he tells her, making her chitter with a nod as she flies upward.
She flies close to the structure, holding Hiccup out towards it.

He grabs it and pulls himself onto it, looking down at Toothless.

"I'm coming, Toothless!"

The Howl flies around the structure with a roar when she sees her friend, gasping as a Deathgripper gets in her path.

She snarls, the two starting to fight as (D/N) flies to her aid. He rams into the Deathgripper as (Y/N) grunts, struggling to hold on as he starts to fight off the dragon.

...

"You still think he cares about you?!"

Grimmel demands, holding on to the Light Fury as he swings himself down, inserting the venom into her helmet. "Let's just see who he follows!"

He releases the Light Fury, now under his control, and starts flying off with her.
Toothless cries after her, the Howl swiftly looking over with a gasp before she roars.

(D/N) looks over at her, distracted. He cries out with a roar as the Deathgripper manages to pierce his neck with its tail, the venom spreading and affecting him.

Hiccup grunts as he drops himself onto
Toothless chain, spiraling and climbing down his body as he undoes the restraints.

"I'm sorry, bud. For everything."

Toothless purrs before gasping, Hiccup's eyes widening when he looks over and sees (D/N) swaying, struggling to stay awake.

...

"(D/N)!" (Y/N) shouts as the Howl cries out, diving after them at a rapid speed. The girl watches, horrified as a Deathgripper dives and crashes into them, clawing and pawing at
(D/N).

"Oh piss off!" (Y/N) snaps, kicking the dragon's face with her boots, causing it to roar, enraged. It brings its arm up and brings it down, it's claws piercing into (Y/N)'s side and digging into her flesh, blood slowly pooling around its paw and dripping down its arm.

(Y/N) gasps, her ears ringing as she manages to shove the dragon away, screeching as it pulls away and flies off.

The (H/C) girl groans, pulling herself back onto (D/N)'s saddle and looking up, her vision blurring as blood quickly oozes out of her wound.

...

Hiccup frees Toothless just as they nearly collide with the water, the Deathgrippers gone. Toothless bursts from the water with a roar, flying up towards (D/N).

...

(Y/N) screams for her dragon in concern, banging her fists against his neck, trying to get him to wake up with desperate cries. She grunts as both her and (D/N) are shoved off to the side, and onto the cliff.

...

The Woolly Howl roars in concern, her fur puffed out as she tugs (D/N) away from the cliffs edge and onto the soft grass. (D/N) groans, his breathing slowly calming down as the venom slowly melts away.

(Y/N) groans, rolling over and onto her back, she presses her hand to her side, cursing softly when she pulls back, her hand covered in red.

She pulls herself up and crawls towards (D/N), shoving her hand into his saddle, she desperately searches for bandages.

The Woolly Howl watches her with wide eyes, the dragon sniffing at the girl, before recoiling at the heavy smell of iron.

(Y/N) manages to find the cloth, quickly she tears a piece away, forcefully shoving it against her side and groaning as the cloth quickly soaks up her blood.

The Howl chitters, slowly bending down, she angles her head down, her senses becoming clouded at the smell of blood. She looks to the girl, uneasy, before sticking out her tongue, and pressing it firmly against the wound.

...

Ruffnut cackles as she distracts a man, Snotlout slamming his mace down and knocking him out.

"Number two, coming through!" He yells as he tosses his mace, Tuffnut catching it. "Surprise!" He laughs, colliding it with a man's back.

"Sorry about that."

"Come on!" Snotlout whoops, catching the mace as Tuffnut throws it back. He breaks off a cage lock, the Crimson Goregutter roaring as he was freed. "One more free! Four to go!"

Fishlegs shoves a man off the deck above, grinning as Fishmeat happily wags his tail.
He gasps when he notices men sneaking up on the group.

"I got your backs!" He yells, grabbing a rope and swinging down with a yell. "Out of the
way!" He knocks the line of men down, landing with a grin.

"Yeah! It's almost like we're a team!" The hook at the end of the rope swings back, ramming his head as he yelps.

Fishmeat cries out as he falls from Fishleg's pack, a trapper chuckling as he looks down at him.

"You brought a baby to a battle," he snickers, aiming his sword at the dragon as he snarls at it.

"'Uh-uh-uh! I wouldn't do that if I were you,"
Fishlegs warns as he looks up from his spot on the floor. The Crimson Goregutter roars, making the man gasp and turn as he sees the dragon flying towards them.

The trappers scream and run away as the dragon collides with the masts of the ship, destroying them.

"Love that dragon," Fishlegs grins, scooping up Fishmeat as he coos happily.

(M/N), Valka, Eret and Gobber land by the three main trappers.

"Sorry we're late for the party."

...

Thunder bellows in the sky, lightning flashing as Grimmel flies the Light Fury into a storm cloud.

Toothless swiftly follows, easily catching up with a roar. Grimmel looks back at the three with a smirk, "That's it, that's it." He mumbles, jerking the Light Fury's head to move right.

Toothless prepares a blast, he fires, Grimmel using the Light Fury to protect himself. The blast strikes her, making her groan in pain as she steadies herself.

"How are we going to get him off her back without hurting her?" Hiccup mumbles, his voice muffled behind his mask.

Hiccup pauses, slowly nodding with a grin.

"Of course! Let's go, bud!"

Toothless snorts with a nod, flying quicker as he focuses on the Light Fury.

...

(Y/N) squeals with pain, her teeth digging into the palm of her hand as the Woolly Howl continued to lick her wound, her saliva acting as a protective barrier.

The dragon finishes up, nodding her head confidently as the blood stopped flowing out of the wound, causing her to smile happily.

(Y/N) sighs, relived, as she brings a hand up and slowly rubs her fingers through the Howl's fur.

"Thank you.." she breaths out, her eyes slowly closing due to her exhaustion. "..thank you.."

The Howl chitters happily, setting her head gently against (Y/N)'s stomach, a low rumble leaving her as they both lied there, their exhaustion quickly catching up.

...

"Fear the facial hair!" Tuffnut screams from behind a man, making him spin and swing his sword down.

The sword cuts the bind holding the "beard', Tuffnut gasping in horror when he notices. He lets out an enraged scream, the man gasping in fear before running away as Tuffnut chases him in a craze.

...

"Oh, I have missed this!" Gobber sighs, holding back a man with his axe.

"Me too!" Ragnar replies, (M/N) snickering as she swings the end of her staff down, colliding it with his head.

Ragnar yelps before swiftly turning and shoving her away, making her grunt as she slams into the side of the ship. Gobber gasps before grinning when he notices a certain dragon.

"See that there?" He questions, Ragnar raising a brow before looking back at (M/N), noticing the dragon next to her.

"Aw! Cute!"

"They're a bad omen," (M/N) mentions as Gobber joins her side with a nod.

"You're cursed." Gobber laughs, hundreds of Hobgobblers flying up from behind the one.

Ragnar gasps, dropping his sword and whimpering as he runs away, the dragons chasing him with squeals as they eat through the deck behind him.

"Yes! Good on you!" Gobber shouts with a grin, pausing as (M/N) laughs.

"Eh, I guess they're not so bad after all." Gobber replies, lifting his peg leg and revealing the Hobgobbler chewing on it.

...

Astrid clears her throat as she approaches behind the Captain, backhanding him as he faces her. She spins the wheel, using her axe to stable it with a grunt.

She braces herself as men start screaming, the ship swerving and colliding with other trapper ships.

"Abandon ship!" A man yells as the ships scrape against one another, destroying each other as men leap into the water for safety.

A cage swerves, sliding rapidly towards the three main trappers as they scream. The cage opens, slamming into a wall with them inside and trapping them.

The group fight off the remaining men with cheers as the dragons finish destroying other trapper ships.

...

Toothless shivers lightly from the sudden temperature drop as he chases Grimmel through snowy mountains.

"You gotta be kidding, how many are there?!" He groans. "Toothless, we've got problems!"
Hiccup yells, lowering himself as a Deathgripper snaps at them.

Toothless snarls, spiraling and kicking one in the face before blasting a pillar, spinning as the debris falls and hits the other dragon.

He flies out of the mountains before gasping as another Deathgripper appears from his right, ramming into him.

Hiccup yells as a Deathgripper lands on Toothless' back, attempting to strike at him with his tail.

Toothless roars as he swings around, dodging the tail as the other Deathgrippers close in.
"We need a better plan and quick!" Hiccup grunts, the others landing and swarming Toothless.

Toothless' eyes widen as he nods, his back-fins opening with lightning crackling. Hiccup's eyes widen at the sight, his breathing uneven as lighting in cases his and his dragon.

"What are you doing?" Hiccup mumbles before grunting as the pressure from the Deathgrippers increases.

"Okay, okay!"

Toothless grunts with effort before shrieking as more lightning surrounds them, a lighting bolt striking the Deathgrippers as Toothless vanishes.

...

The Vikings below gasp, murmuring in confusion as they look around for them.

...

(Y/N) squints her eyes open, her pupil dilating at the sight of lighting balking around the sky.

She lifts her head up weakly, before sighing as she drops it back down, to tired to move.

...

Grimmel looks back, gasping when he sees his dragons falling from the sky, Toothless nowhere to be seen.

Toothless reappears with a roar in front of Grimmel, swerving towards him as Hiccup leaps from his back, opening his wing-suit with a yell.

Grimmel aims and fires his crossbow, the dart striking Toothless. Hiccup collides with Grimmel, kicking him as his mask flies from his face from the force.

Hiccup grabs the Light Fury's neck as
Grimmel screams, holding on to Hiccup's foot.

"You'll kill both of us!"

Hiccup gasps with wide eyes when he hears
Toothless roar, his heart dropping when he sees the Fury falling from the sky.

"Fighting over some dragons?! That's your plan?!"

Hiccup watches with fear before his eyes narrow with resolve. "This is." He replies, unhooking the Light Fury's restraint and tossing it from her as she shakes her head out.

Grimmel grunts at it hits him, the Light Fury regaining herself as Hiccup gently makes her look at him.

She watches, slowly as Hiccup lets go of her, his face sad yet determine as he quickly began to plummet towards the ocean, a stray tear escaping him.

"Save him.."
