After Stoick and Gobber left to find Hiccup, Spike and Toothless. Astrid and the other riders were currently waiting for them to come back as the sun was rising, but Astrid was feeling something was wrong with how long it's been since they were last seen, with what they learned from Stoick about Drago, he may have caused trouble during their search, and Astrid is getting more worried by the minute.

And as she and the other Rider's and their dragons were waiting on an Iceberg for them to come back, Astrid finally had enough of waiting around for them to come back, and felt something was wrong.
"I don't like this guys, they should've been back with them by now." Astrid spoke to the others who were all bored from waiting around.

"I don't like it either, Eret son of Eret was the man my dreams! My everything!" Ruffnut said dramatically which a lot of them found weird for her to say.

"But baby I grew facial hair for you.." Snotlout said with disappointment while he rubbed his face which did have some signs of a beard growing along with Fishlegs too.

"Me too.." Fishlegs admitted which Astrid just groaned and tried getting back to the topic.

"What if Drago shot them down? What if they all need our help? We have to find them guys." Astrid announced which did concern some of them hearing that.

"Wait, wait, what? But Stoick said we have to.." Fishlegs was soon interrupted again by Astrid who didn't want to hear it.

"It doesn't matter what Stoick said if they all were captured! Come on! I know someone who can lead us there!" Astrid shouted as they started flying in the direction of somewhere they've previously gone too.

We cut back to Eret and the other trappers as they were trying to sail through the ocean again as their ship was badly damaged. Most of them were pretty injured after their little encounter with Spike and the other's earlier, and we're struggling to simply move the ship after what happened.

And despite this, some were still worried on what would happen if they turn up to Drago in this state, after what he did to Eret last time, they were all pretty nervous about what he may do to them.
"Should we go back?" A trapper asked with worry while Eret tried to hold some ice on his head after being hit very hard on it.

"We've got no where to go! Nothing to sell! And no heads to call our own!" Eret shouted with frustration while they tried making the sail stay steady, not noticing the dragons about to swoop in just from behind Eret..

"If we don't turn up with Dragons, and fast...!" Eret shouted just before he suddenly screamed and was grabbed by Stormfly which caught everyone off guard.

"Careful what you wish for!" Astrid shouted mockingly while the other trappers tried shooting them all down, but it barely mattered as they quickly escaped with Eret, leaving some of them excited on where this was going.

"What is this?!" Eret shouted while he tried not to fall off into the cold water below.

"A kidnapping." Astrid said casually while Tuffnut was starting to grab him by the leg.

"Yay! Can he ride with me can he? Can he?!" Ruffnut begged which made Tuffnut groan with disgust as he pulled their dragon away to avoid that from getting even weirder while Astrid just went straight to the point.

"Your going to lead us to Drago, now." Astrid requested which he scoffed at.

"And help Dragon Rider's like you sneak into his camp? Just kill me now." Eret refused which she got an idea from just from hearing that.

"That can be arranged, Stormfly, drop." Astrid said playfully which made Stormfly do just that. And she let Eret go who began screaming like a girl as he was falling from the sky.

"Good girl! Now, Stormfly, fetch!" Astrid requested which made her begin flying down to catch him while Eret finally had enough of it.

"Alright! Okay I'll take you to Drago!" Eret screamed just as Stormfly finally caught him again as they began heading into a specific direction he was pointing too, and Astrid just smiled and cracked her knuckles as this was too easy for them.

"Works every time." Astrid told herself as they flew off to hopefully save Spike in the others if they really were in trouble.

But far away out in the icy land, Spike, Toothless and Hiccup were flying with Valka and Valkyrie after they agreed to get something to eat, but despite how far they were flying, they hadn't gotten anything yet which was confusing to them. The sky was fully clear right now with very few clouds being visible as the sun rose, and as Spike flew by and took in this beautiful sight, he could feel the cold wind brushing by him as he flew, and sighed with joy upon seeing all of it.

While he's still trying to take in what he's been told about his past thanks to his mother, he's always happy to go out and see the world, with how many places they've been to over the years, sights like this are something to behold. While Toothless had has his concerns over this now that they've met his birth mother, as long as nothing bad happens to any of them, they all should be fine.

But as they kept on flying, Spike and Hiccup both looked back and saw hundreds of dragons flying behind them, clearly knowing who to follow while they were still lost on what's happening.
"Hey uh, I thought you said we were going to eat?" Hiccup asked again while Cloudjumper turned around in front of them for Valka to stop them in place.

"Oh we are, believe me!" Valka said playfully while Valkyrie stopped herself in the air next to Spike who was still confused on what's happening here.

"Just give him a moment." Valkyrie said with a smile while she suddenly looked down below to something he couldn't see yet.

"What do you mean.. by..?" Spike asked before his eyes widened with shock and awe as he saw something truly surprising.

He saw the Bewilderbeast from the nest had slowly gathered up thousands of fish from the water's below, and as he finally emerged from the water and caught some of the fish within his own mouth, he shot them all out into the sky and sent every single fish flying around for the dragons to catch, leaving the them all in shock while Valka was laughing seeing their reaction.

And Spike and Hiccup noticed Toothless was very eager to get some fish himself, and seeing all the other dragons were doing it, including Valkyrie and Cloudjumper, they simply smiled and motioned for him to help himself.
"It's all yours dad!" Spike said playfully before he began to fly around the area and catching as many fish as he can, and Toothless began to do the same himself, diving downwards and catching every fish he could alongside the hundreds of dragons around them, making him super happy as his mouth was stuffed full of them before they continued on.

Around an hour later after they had their food, Spike and Hiccup tried to help show their mother's what they've seen over the years together.
"And we've found so many islands full of Dragons of different types together! I can't put it into words with just how many we've seen, it's just been so incredible!" Spike said with joy while he and Hiccup showed Valkyrie their map who was very impressed with the work they've done together over the years.

"That is extremely impressive you two! Just about every land up to the edge of the world is here! You've certainly been busy with your friends, haven't you?" Valkyrie asked again while Spike sat down to take in this moment, still finding this unbelievable after all the years he and Toothless have spent, wondering if they'll ever find something like this.

"Yeah, it's been quite the ride for sure, the adventures we've gone on, and the things we've seen, it's all just been so.. amazing.." Spike said with a smile while Valkyrie looked at his Night Fury traits, and noticed that they must've been with him for quite a while.

"I have to ask.. how long have you had your father's traits with you?" Valkyrie asked while she rubbed his black scales, and Spike remembered the very day that happened years ago, it felt like a distant memory to him at this point, but no matter how long it's been, the friendship he and Toothless formed with Hiccup is something he'll never forget.

"It.. wasn't too long after me and my dad met Hiccup, they just shed suddenly overnight, we didn't know the reason why, but it may have just been due to heritage, I already had my dad's Plasma Breath even at a young age, so maybe we should've expected something like this, right Hiccup?" Spike asked while Hiccup kept examining the map they have while still listening to what their saying.

"Yeah, we have seen him do many things a Night Fury can do, he's often gone just as fast as Toothless, and can blend in with the shadows just as well, even if he's only half Night Fury." Hiccup replied which Valkyrie smiled lightly at, and she soon looked down with guilt knowing just how long they've been doing this without her ever hearing about it.

"To think you've done so much together over all these years, I only wish I could've heard about what's happened with you all sooner.." Valkyrie said with regret while Spike looked down with sadness hearing it from her after what they've learnt from her.

"Hey.. what matters now is that we've got time to reconnect right? Me and My dad have a lot to show you, I think you'll really like it!" Spike said with a smile which she was really hopeful for.

"I can already see that, given how playful Toothless seems just from what I'm seeing." Valkyrie said with a chuckle as they saw Toothless grab a large block of ice with his teeth in a playful way which Spike chuckled at from seeing too.

"Believe me, dad's got more then a few surprises that he hasn't shown." Spike replied while Valka was doing something on her own to help out Hiccup.

Once they turned around, they saw Valka draw what looked to be an entire map of what the land their in looks like, giving them a better understanding of where they can go now that they see it.
"Spike? Could you?" Hiccup asked as Spike took out another piece of paper, and began adding it to their map after seeing the layout.

"Already on it." Spike replied with a smile which made Valkyrie proud knowing how quickly he can memorize things. But as Spike did so, Toothless suddenly came in and began playfully dragging the block of ice along the drawing like he did the first time they met Hiccup, making it go around in scribbles and circles which only made them laugh seeing how playful he was here.

"Dad, come on!" Spike said playfully as he just got the map down and attached it with the rest of the lands they've made.

"Sorry son! Can't help myself!" Toothless replied while he circled around Cloudjumper who could turn his head around extremely well without much trouble, but just as Toothless finished up.. he soon noticed his tounge was stuck on the ice he had and struggled to get it off.

"Uh.. a little help here?" Toothless asked while looking at Spike who laughed seeing that and got up to help him out.

Later that day, they were still spending most of their time having fun and getting to know eachother more, they all were cheering with joy as they jumped off a small ledge, and began riding on a strong gust of wind what let them stay in place without even flapping their wings.

All of them took a moment to take in just how good this felt to all of them, and as Hiccup looked back at Valka, she began balancing herself off of multiple Dragons wings, hopping around most of them who gladly let her get across them, and just before she went over to Toothless, Valkyrie gave her a boost with her shoulder to help him get on his wing, and Hiccup watched as she walked across his wings without any effort at all, and just as she fell off the edge, Cloudjumper suddenly rose up next to them with her on his back again, and Spike chuckled again after seeing how skilled she really is with all of this.

"You've really spent years with her here? Learning to do stuff like this?" Spike asked again while looking at Valkyrie who nodded proudly being asked that.

"Believe me, we've barely shown you just what we can do around these parts together son." Valkyrie said with a smile which made Toothless flinch a bit as it still felt off hearing someone else call him their son..

"Right.." Toothless thought to himself as he tried keeping focus while Valka was raising her arms in the air to feel the wind around her and sighed with joy feeling it.

"Oh.. when I'm up here.. I don't even feel the cold wind.. I just feel..." Valka said just before Hiccup finished the word for her as he's felt the same way for years.

"Free." Hiccup finished with a smile which she chuckled at while Spike took a deep breath and understood it.

"When me and my dad left our island for the first time after I grew my wings, the feeling of flying free like this was something I couldn't put to words, being able to freely go where you want, see the places you've been look so small from this high up, and knowing there's still.. so much out there left for us to see.." Spike said with joy while Toothless smiled again hearing that from him.

"And it eventually led us to meeting Hiccup and everyone else, even it wasn't under the most.. normal circumstances." Toothless joked which Valkyrie chuckled at from hearing.

"With what we've seen here every day, what's exactly normal honestly?" Valkyrie asked playfully making Spike laugh again knowing how true that is.

"While a normal day sounds nice, where's the fun in life without some excitement right?" Spike asked with a smile looking at everyone else.

"Couldn't agree more on that pal!" Hiccup replied while he high fived Spike again before they looked back at Valka again who sighed joyfully yet again.

"This is what it is, to be a Dragon, Hiccup!" Valka said with a smile which gave Hiccup an idea on what he could to do surprise them both even more.

"You know it's all well to call yourself a Dragon and all, but can you fly?!" Hiccup shouted as he detached himself from Toothless and suddenly jumped off him which concerned Valka for a few moments, before she suddenly saw him activate his glide suit which completely amazed her, even catching Cloudjumper and Valkyrie off guard seeing he can do something like that.

"Did you build that with him?" Valkyrie asked with a smile while Spike laughed seeing him glide down towards the ground.

"Took a few years, but it was more then worth it when we finished it up!" Spike shouted before he cheered with joy as he dove down to help him out.

Hiccup cheered with amazement as he glided upside down to show off how well he can do this, but after he noticed Valka wasn't in the sky like she was moments ago, she rose up next to him again and flew next to him, but as they kept on gliding, Spike noticed something large was coming up in their way, and quickly began freaking out as they were approaching it extremely quickly.
"Uh, dad?!" Spike shouted with fear while Hiccup turned back around, but gasped with shock as they saw a large chunk of the land was right in front of them.

"Oh no! Ah!!" Hiccup screamed just as Toothless flew in and c aught him with his wings just in time, and they went diving down through the center of the thing before tumbling down a ton of snow.

Toothless groaned a bit as he tried getting back up after that rough crash, but he quickly began freaking out not seeing Hiccup anywhere, but Hiccup suddenly popped out of the snow and cheered with joy after seeing how fast he was to catch him that time.
"Man! Almost! We just about had it that time!" Hiccup cheered while Toothless sneezed a bit from the snow before he heard what Hiccup said, and looked upset knowing that's what he feels after they almost crashed into something again.

Hiccup was suddenly sweeped off his legs by Toothless's tail in an instant who was trying to wipe the snow off him just as Spike and the others landed down next to them.
"He's got a point dad, your getting far better with solo gliding! Even without me helping you out, your really getting there!" Spike complimented which made Toothless feel a bit proud of himself hearing that.

"Thanks.." Toothless replied with a smile while Valka helped him up to inspect the glider suit he's made.

"That's incredible!" Valka said with amazement while she saw each of the built in wings and extra gears he had within the suit.

"Your not so bad yourself." Hiccup said with a smile while Valka looked at his face again and sighed seeing just how much he's grown over the years.

She slowly placed her hand on his cheek again and just felt so much joy knowing how much he resembles her in ways.
"All this time, you took after me.. and.. where.. was I?" Valka asked herself as he joy turned to guilt knowing what he's had to go through without her there for him.

"I'm so sorry Hiccup.." Valka said regretfully while Spike and Valkyrie watched from the sides, and felt just as awful for this after seeing what their like today. And as Valkyrie reflected on things herself, she still couldn't help but feel awful after remembering the last time she had him when he was an egg.

"If I had known you were out there.. I would've left the nest to find where you were son, I would've torn my way through every trapper I came across, every deadly dragon who tried to harm me.. anything that came in my way, if it meant.. I could find you.." Valkyrie said with guilt while Spike looked down sadly hearing this, even Toothless felt sad for this after what they've learned together.

"Hey.. if it.. makes it any better, Toothless has done everything he can to raise me, to make me the Dragon I am today, but even after all these years, I never gave up hope that we would meet you.. or my.. real father one day, I'm just.. so glad we've finally found you.." Spike said with some tears in his eyes while Valkyrie suddenly hugged him tightly after hearing it from him.

"Can.. we ever start over? Will you give us another chance?" Valka asked hopefully while looking at both Hiccup, and Spike, and they were more then glad to accept together.

"Of course." Spike answered with a smile while Valkyrie let him go, and looked at Toothless with gratitude knowing how well he's grown thanks to him.

And after hearing that from him, it made Valkyrie feel so much joy and relief knowing it, and since they still have time for today, she had an idea on how to make things a bit more interesting.
"I can teach you all I've learned over these past 20 years, and what secrets lie in each of you.." Valka said as she went up to Toothless and began rubbing on a specific spot right beneath his head.

And to Spike and Hiccup's shock, Toothless's spines suddenly began growing and stretching out more then they ever have before, looking a bit more like Spike's own spine on his back.
"Whoa.." Hiccup and Spike said at once while Toothless was already looking very excited and felt like he could do so much more after feeling this.

"Now he can make those tight turns!" Valka said proudly while Toothless ran up to them and looked extremely excited upon seeing the new spikes on his back.

"Did you know about this? Either of you?" Hiccup asked while looking at Spike again who didn't know how to respond either.

"No, we didn't. And believe me, I would with how long we've spent on that island." Spike replied while Valkyrie went up to him next, and began looking directly at the top of his head to show his little secret too..

"Don't forget, if Toothless has a secret like that, you do too. Watch this." Valkyrie said as she suddenly pressed down on Spike's neck which suddenly made him feel odd for a few moments, but at that moment, he suddenly felt spikes were popping out from his arms and even small parts of his wings like Toothless, along with more going down the parts that resembled a Night Fury, and he suddenly felt a lot stronger and more agile moments after she did so.

"Not only will you be able to fly faster now, but you'll be able to avoid any traps or nets thrown at you with no trouble at all. And with you being part Night Fury, your father's traits will only show more thanks to how much you've grown, and there's still so much more for you to discover for yourself." Valkyrie said with a smile while Spike laughed with amazement and flapped his wings and felt so much faster now.

"This is incredible!" Spike shouted as he suddenly flew in the air and flew around them in circles at even faster speeds then he did before, and Hiccup laughed with surprise as Spike landed back down, and cheered proudly seeing his new traits.

"Every dragon has it's secrets, and we'll show them all to you!" Valka said with joy while she went up by his side as Toothless was playing in the snow while everyone else watched him.

"We can unlock every secret, and find every remaining species together, as mother and son!" Valka encouraged while Toothless jumped in the air and spilled some snow on Cloudjumper's head, making them all laugh seeing how silly it looks.

"That sounds amazing.." Spike said with joy while he looked at his mother who smiled at him again, and they soon looked back at Toothless who was looking up at Cloudjumper playfully.

"This gift we share Hiccup, it bonds us. This is who you are, son. Who we are." Valka explained even more while looking directly at Hiccup again.

"We can change the world for all dragons, we can make it a better, safer place! " Valka encouraged even more which sounded great to both Hiccup and Spike.

"Yeah! That sounds amazing!" Hiccup said with joy just as Valka leaned in and gave Hiccup a tight hug and held him closely.

Spike and Valkyrie smiled at the sight of this, and couldn't feel happier after all they've done today. And as Hiccup finally pulled away, he felt so glad to know this, but had soon began moving onto another important talk they weren't expecting..
"Oh, this is so great! Now all of us, can go talk to Drago, together!" Hiccup said hopefully which they didn't expect to hear.

"What? There's no talking to Drago. " Valka replied while Cloudjumper walked up to her and looked a bit uneasy hearing that name, and Valkyrie especially didn't like hearing him being brought up.

"But we have..."Hiccup said before she stopped him again, and tried making him forget about it as she's seen what he can do.

"No, we must protect our own Hiccup." Valkyrie replied again while Valkyrie stood up and looked upset knowing this.

"You can't talk him down Hiccup, I've seen what he can do to my kind. And I am NOT gonna risk him capturing, or even killing my son!" Valkyrie said as she put a claw on Spike's shoulder for protection, even Spike has begun to think this could be impossible after what he learned from Stoick.

"What? Come on, we can still try! Right Spike?" Hiccup asked hopefully while looking at him again, but as he turned to him, Spike looked very worried over it.

"I.. honestly don't know Hiccup.." Spike replied while he shook his head at the thought of what Drago could do to him if he was captured, and Hiccup sighed a bit seeing them not wanting to do this.

"We protect our own Hiccup. Come on, we should be heading back. It's getting late." Valka advised as she was getting back on Cloudjumper again to head back. And Hiccup looked really upset over it, but after looking back at Toothless and Spike who were still trying to take their new traits in, he sighed again and felt it was for the best they head back. And he only hoped that they could try and figure this out soon before things get worse.


Author's Note

Thanks for reading this everyone! I hope I handled this part well, as well as me giving Spike similar ability's to Toothless after Valka and Valkyrie revealed their secrets was alright to you all, I think it was the best thing I could do since Spike is part Night Fury, I may show off something unique he can do from his mom's side, but I think saving that for movie 3 will work best for me.

I hope I've been handling the 2nd movie well to you all so far, I know there hasn't been much changed in this story, but I'm trying my best to find what can help blend Spike in to the movies since there's still a lot to go through. I will try to change things up a bit with movie 3 as what I've set up here will be important for it in the future, but I just hope that I've been doing things well for you all so far, thank you so much for reading this, and have a good day!
