Son Of A Night Fury
20: Calm Before The Storm
Previous ChapterAfter they managed to convince Eret to lead them to Drago's camp, Astrid and the other Dragon Riders followed the path he had told them to go through, despite this land being pretty different from what they've seen previously, they're experienced enough to get around this place after what they've seen.
And after hours of flying, they soon were coming towards an entrance that was between a large iceberg, leading deep into a hidden base where Drago and his army were hiding all these years. Once they started to reach a place where they can land, Stormfly threw Eret to the ground and tumbled into the snow. But as Eret tried to run away, Stormfly landed on him again and began to pin him to the ground which annoyed him.
"Alright! I brought you all here like you wanted! Now get this thing off me!" Eret demanded while Astrid turned back to him with a smirk.
"Never take a toy from a dragon, don't you know anything?" Astrid countered which annoyed him even more as Stormfly started wrapping her wings around him to keep him from escaping.
"Why does this keep happening to me?!" Eret asked with frustration while he got trapped under her while Astrid and the other riders made their way around the place to see where Drago is.
They all made their way up a hill just ahead of them and soon crouched down to avoid being seen, and as they looked over the edge, they finally saw Dragos camp before them, hundreds of ships could be seen hiding within this cavern waiting for battle, they could see many dragons chained and trapped within the ships, and within the center of all of it, they could what looked like a geyser creating a large stream of bubbles from the freezing water, but it gave them a feeling that a dragon might be hiding under the water instead..
"What's down there?" Astrid questioned while Fishlegs tried figuring out what dragon it could be.
"Large diameter bubbles, massive lungs, cold water deep dweller.. I'm thinkin a class 5 leviathan, maybe 6." Fishlegs suggested with a look of fear while they tried figuring out what to do.
"Any ideas guys?" Ruffnut asked just as Stormfly suddenly sensed something and roared as they saw multiple trappers had been hiding just in the distance.
Stormfly managed to jump off Eret just in time who drew his blade while the trappers shot tranquilizers which knocked out their other dragons which left them unable to escape.
"Hey! Back off!" Astrid screamed as she tried to knock back one of the trappers, but more only began surrounding them which left them all defenseless without, and Fishlegs suddenly raised his hands up to surrender himself while dropping all his cards which made the others groan knowing they have no choice.
They were all soon brought to the ships within the camp in chains, and from the edge of one of the ships, a familiar figure could be seen looking over the edge where his secret weapon was hiding.
"Drago!" Eret announced just as Drago groaned with anger on being interrupted, and he soon turned to see Eret and a bunch of prisoners being brought to him by armored dragons that were forced to do anything under his command.
"Always great to see you my friend! Keeping warm up here?" Eret asked again while Drago slowly marched over to him while some dragons bowed with both respect and fear as he passed by them as Eret tried getting one of the trappers away from him.
"And as you can see, I am on time like you had told me too, with a new batch of dragons, just like I promised!" Eret said proudly while Hookfang started to wake up, and immediately began to roar with rage as he tried breaking free from the trappers holding him down.
"Hold him down!" One of the trappers shouted with fear while Drago marched up to him with a smirk.
"Drop the ropes!" Drago ordered the trappers who were surprised to hear that, but soon did what they were told and let Hookfang go who glared at Drago as he marched too him.
And not wasting another second, Hookfang soon unleashed a powerful stream of fire right to Drago who used his cloak made of dragon scales to push through it without any effort, and that made everyone really scared as they saw him not show any signs of fear towards him.
Hookfang roared at Drago again in a demanding tone to back off, but once Drago was given a spear he used, Drago began to make his own really loud scream which actually started to make Hookfang afraid of him, and as Drago kept on screaming, he soon slammed his weapon down in front of him in a way to make him back down.
And Hookfang soon lowered his head down with fear while Drago who pressed down on his snout in order to make him surrender.
"Hookfang! No!" Snotlout shouted with fear while all the other riders were shocked seeing him do this.
"What are you doing?!" Astrid asked with anger while Drago smirked seeing he's submitted to him, just like many dragons have done before.
"You belong to me now." Drago declared while some of his men laughed seeing him do this, but just as he looked ahead, he saw that a saddle and chairs were strapped to him too, along with all the other dragons that had been brought here.
"And as an added bonus. I also caught you their riders, no extra charge." Eret said proudly again which made the others mad seeing him just offer them like this.
"What? are you kidding me?!" Astrid asked with anger while Ruffnut groaned seeing him betray them like this.
"Aw, but you were so perfect!" Ruffnut said dramatically while Drago was marching up to Eret, looking very upset knowing there are other dragon riders out there.
"Turns out. There's a whole bunch of them out there, and they att..." Eret was suddenly grabbed by the throat from Drago who growled hearing this news, and looked even more furious knowing this.
"How many?" Drago questioned which made Astrid realized that he doesn't know about Hiccup, Spike or the others..
"Drago doesn't have them after all.. Astrid whispered to the others who realized they weren't here.
"How many?!" Drago shouted again just as Astrid marched up to him to try and intimidate him.
"Hundreds, a whole island full of them!" Astrid answered while Eret was choking from being held down by the throat.
"I wouldn't worry about it..." Eret assured just as Drago began choking him even harder which forced him to answer truthfully.
"My men are hunting them all down as we speak! They won't know where your hiding I promise you that!" Eret said weakly just as Astrid kept going on about what he doesn't know.
"They will! They know they're missing, and they have tracking dragons that can help find us! If you so much as touch us, Hiccup and Spike are gonna kick..."
"Hiccup and Spike?" Drago interrupted while looking confused hearing those names.
"They're not a problem! Really, please trust me." Eret begged while he tried catching his breath after what just happened.
"Hiccup is only the son of Stoick the Vast, his heir to the throne, and the greatest Dragon Master this world has ever seen! And for Spike? He's the son of a legendary Night Fury, a special talking dragon who's unlike any of the dragons we have back on Berk, but is a strong and brave person who will not let anyone harm his friends! And Berk's future Advisor between both Dragons and Vikings!" Astrid said proudly while Drago got more frustrated hearing that.
"The Dragon Master? And a talking dragon?! I alone control all dragons! And a talking dragon like him.. wouldn't be the first time I've heard of something so ridiculous.." Drago said with a menacing tone which surprised the others hearing that.
"Another talking dragon?" Fishlegs questioned while Eret coughed a bit again before looking at them.
"I told you that I had seen another talking dragon before." Eret pointed which left them in shock as Spike had told them about this just before he and Hiccup left Berk again.
"And unless you let all of us go right now, Hiccup and Spike will blast through this place with that same Night Fury who raised him to not hold back against people like you. And they will blow your entire fleet of ships to splinters!" Astrid threatened just as the others tried making this more threatening to them in their own way.
"And they you'll all be crying like babies!" Ruffnut mocked which made the others laugh again hearing that from her.
"Babies, they always cry!" Tuffnut laughed just as Drago grabbed Eret by the throat again and looked extremely furious knowing all of this.
"First there was one rider, and one talking dragon, and now.. all of Berk?!" Drago asked with fury as he grabbed Eret by the face.
"And you led them to me!" Drago shouted before he threw Eret to the other trappers who started to surround him knowing he's a traitor now.
"Drago!" Eret shouted weakly as Drago climbed up one of the ships to change their plans.
"Stop all of our preparations! We must attack the dragon rider's nest at once! We will take down their alpha, and put an end to the dragon rider and their friend, and then, we will take Berk!" Drago ordered to all the trappers who began to make war cry's upon hearing the new orders, and they all began preparing the ships to set sail for the nest in order to begin the war that Drago has been planning for years.
"Drago!" Eret begged again while the trappers were restraining him from what he's done.
"And get rid of him!" Drago ordered which made the trappers aim their weapons at him with the intention to kill.
"Drago please, I can.. I can make it up to you!" Eret begged again just before Stormfly suddenly landed back down and deflected multiple weapons that almost hit him, but it didn't last long as she was hit by another tranquilizer which knocked her unconscious just like the other dragons.
"Stormfly!" Astrid shouted with fear as they saw her fall on the ground, and while Astrid tried to save her, the other trappers wouldn't let them go, and Eret was let in shock on what she did, and as they looked around, all the ships were beginning to set sail to somewhere they don't know.
And far away, back within the Dragons nest, Spike, Hiccup and Toothless were all looking over the view of the place, seeing all the hundreds of dragons flying by. They were all still thinking about what they had learned about today, with such a huge revelation happening for both of them, it was something they needed time to process.
"This was.. quite the eventful day huh?" Spike suddenly asked as he was sitting down near them who fully agreed with that.
"A bit chaotic in ways too I guess.. are you doing okay Spike?" Hiccup asked as he knew he was still thinking about all of he's learned from his mother.
"It's hard not to at this point.. me and Toothless have been wondering why I was left alone in that cave for years, even before we met you, and once my Night Fury traits began to show, it only made things more conflicting for me. And now all of a sudden, I find out that I really was the son of both another Night Fury, and a talking dragon like me? It's.. a lot to take in.." Spike said with worry while Toothless rubbed him with his head to help him process this.
"I know it's hard Spike.. believe me.. I'm still trying to process this too, even after all the years I've raised you.. all we've been through together, I could never have imagined this was the reason why." Toothless said with guilt while Spike sighed and covered up his face as this was so much for him right now.
"Maybe Astrid was right.. even if I'm happy to have finally met her, I still can't believe this.." Spike said with sadness just as he saw the other baby dragons come up to him and Toothless, and were giving them multiple playful licks as they were too young to understand what was happening.
"It's a lot for me too Spike, I thought my mother was dead for over 20 years, I was only a baby the last time I saw her, I barely even remember that night, and having this all happen so fast, I'm still trying to figure out how we'll be able to tell the others." Hiccup replied while he stood up and was stretching himself out a bit after all the flying they've done today.
"Let's not forget that Drago is still out there, he might be coming to attack this place right now, and we won't even know, how are we gonna be able to protect everyone here if we aren't prepared?" Spike asked with worry as he started to get up too, and it made Hiccup think of something they can do to stop this.
"I still want to try and talk him down, I have to try. And if he is on his way, we can't just sit around for him to attack this place, we need to find him first." Hiccup said as Toothless made another roar to make the baby dragons go away while he was starting to get up too, looking ready to leave.
"If they aren't gonna help us, I guess we're just gonna have to do this on our own." Spike replied as he stretched out his wings again for another flight which Hiccup smiled at.
"Looks like it Spike, let's go guys." Hiccup said just before someone came from behind him and covered his mouth which made Spike and Toothless quickly turn around, and to their surprise, they saw Stoick had finally found where they were after they left him previously.
"Easy now. Spike, move, we need to get out of here now." Stoick ordered just as Hiccup freed himself and backed up to the two of them.
"Are you kidding me dad?! How did you get in here?" Hiccup asked with shock seeing him here.
"The same way we are getting the two of you out of here." Stoick said just as he grabbed their arms while Gobber looked around for any possible dragons seeing them.
"All clear! Let's go!" Gobber announced quietly while he snuck through the cave they went through to find them.
"Toothless, come! We're leaving now!" Stoick ordered as he was dragging them both through the cave.
And knowing their here made them both try to reveal to Stoick on just who they had met during their time here, he needed to here this as it was the most important revelation they've had in years, even if he didn't look like he was in the mood to talk, they had to tell him this before they lose the chance.
"Stoick, wait, there's something important we've discovered that you need to know about!" Spike said just as he freed himself from Stoick who was still moving through the cave while dragging Hiccup with him.
"You and Hiccup can tell me on the way back to Berk, Spike." Stoick replied not really wanting to hear this right now just as Hiccup freed himself too while Toothless tried following after them.
"Hold on, dad, this isn't exactly a " Tell you on the way" sort of update, actually." Hiccup said with a nervous smile while Stoick turned back to them not wanting to hear any more of this.
"I've heard enough! It was already enough trouble trying to find where you two were!" Stoick said sternly while he kept moving forward with Spike and Hiccup still trying to explain this.
"If you just give us a moment to explain, you could see just why it's so important, not just for you and Hiccup, but for me and Toothless too." Spike said with some frustration while Stoick squeezed through a narrow corner in the cave.
"Just add it to the list of things you and Hiccup will need to explain later." Stoick replied still not giving them a chance to explain again.
"Dad, I promise, unlike most surprises Spike and I often spring on you, this is one you'll like I promise!" Hiccup assured while Spike helped Toothless through the narrow path that was tight to get through.
"You just have to handle it.. delicately..." Hiccup continued just as they saw Gobber looking into the entrance of an icy cave, looking completely shocked as he had found something truly unbelievable..
"Stoick.. you may want to take this one..." Gobber said with disbelief as he was backing up while patting Stoick on the shoulder which confused him on what he saw in there.
"Yeah.. can you see why now Gobber?" Spike asked as he sat down to process this, only giving a nod in response in hearing this.
"Absolutely Spike..." Gobber replied just as Stoick drew a sword thinking it was an enemy behind their capture.
"Hold on dad, could you put the sword away please?" Hiccup begged just as Stoick moved through the cave, but once he finally saw who was on the other side.. it left him more shocked then anything he had seen in his life.
And just ahead of him, was none other then Valka who was just as shocked, yet immediately looked ashamed of herself since she's been believed to be dead for decades. And the shock of seeing her made Stoick drop his sword, and take off his helmet, and Spike, Hiccup and Gobber only braced themselves as they knew where this was going next..
"I know what your going to say.. Stoick. How could I have done this?" Valka asked as Stoick slowly began walking up to her, taking in every detail of the sight in front of him.
"Stayed away all these years, and why didn't I come back to you? To our son?" Valka asked again as Stoick didn't say a word as she kept trying to defend herself.
"Well.. what sign did I have that you could change Stoick, that anyone on Berk could?" Valka asked again while Cloudjumper was starting to crawl next to her after seeing Stoick enter the place.
" I pleaded so many times to stop the fighting, to find another answer. But did any of you listen?" Valka asked again while more dragons were seeing Stoick walk up to her.
"This is why I never married anyone you two, this and.. another reason." Gobber commented which made Spike shush him to not ruin the moment.
"Not now Gobber." Spike whispered to him who stayed silent as they watched this emotional reunion happen.
"I know I left you to raise Hiccup alone.. but I thought you'd be better off without me. And.. I was wrong, I see that now but..." Valka couldn't find any words to say as Stoick had come to speak with her face to face.
"Oh.. stop being so.. Stoic, Stoic. Go on.. Shout! Scream! Say something!" Valka demanded just as Stoick gently placed his hand on her cheek, and he finally spoke to her, after seeing her face again.
"Your as beautiful.. as the day I lost you.." Stoick spoke which left her in shock hearing it, but she soon began to have tears in her eyes as Stoick pulled her in, and gave her a kiss as they both haven't felt this happy in so long.
And just from the distance, Spike and everyone else was watching with their own tears, feeling so happy to see them finally reunite after so many years. And just from behind them, Valkyrie finally came into the room after letting this play out, feeling just as happy to see them come together again. And the moment Gobber saw her, his jaw dropped down with disbelief in seeing another dragon just like her, and Spike only chuckled a bit before looking at him to explain himself.
"Yeah.. we've got a long story to tell you.." Spike said quietly while Valkyrie nodded respectfully to him, and he just stayed silent as they all tried processing this news.
But as this was happening, back with Astrid and the other riders, they were currently being forced to a ledge off the ship where all of them were heading to the Dragon riders nest to take every dragon they've saved, something very large was dragging all the ships that had chains attached to it through the waters, and Drago continued slamming down on the metal chain as his fleet of ships covered in metal armor and weapons kept moving through the place.
Astrid, Eret and the other riders were being forced to move after losing any ways to escape, and were about to be thrown overboard into the freezing water just below them.
"Could this day get any worse?" Snotlout asked with frustration on what's happening at the moment.
"Well let me see Snotlout, we're gonna be thrown into some freezing cold water, and die from drowning." Tuffnut replied while Eret looked over the ledge of the boat.
"Looks refreshing, please, ladies first." Eret said with a smirk which made Astrid more frustrated at his attitude.
"You.. are a steaming heap of dragon..." Astrid said just before Eret suddenly had a more serious look after finding the right moment.
"Duck!" Eret ordered just as he did a roundhouse kick to the two trappers holding her down, and as one of the weapons flew in the air, Eret soon caught it and used it to free himself before holding both weapons in his hands.
"Warn the others!" One of the trappers shouted while they all charged to put a stop to his escape attempt.
"Get him you son of Eret!" Ruffnut said with a smirk while they watched Eret force the trappers to use their own weapons against them, he whacked one of them in the face which made them lose balance, and he ended up shooting a tranquilizer right onto another one which knocked more down, and Eret soon caught the weapon before he shot another tranq at one more trapper who tried escaping, but soon was hit with it and fell to the ground, and was knocked out.
"Okay I love you again." Ruffnut said with a smile while she went over to help him out, leaving Snotlout disappointed hearing that from her.
"Eh, your pathetic. You can still jump if you want." Tuffnut joked just as Eret freed the others from their restraints.
"So, are we going to save your dragons and get out of here or not?" Eret asked as he was ready to get moving immediately which left Astrid humming hearing that.
"Check every trap, they're here somewhere!" Eret ordered as they looked around the metal cages that had their dragons trapped inside, Astrid snuck under one of the tarps covering the traps, and she used her strength to move a lever which opened the trap slightly for her to climb up and see inside it.
"Meatlug?" Astrid asked with worry as she saw Fishelgs's dragon tied up in chains, but he soon looked extremely happy to see she had come to rescue him while everyone else was finding their own dragons.
"Anyone coming?" Eret asked to Ruffnut who only kept watching him use his muscles to open the cage.
"I don't know, but just keep up with what your doing. Keep cranking.." Ruffnut said with a smirk which left him groaning again as he finally cracked the cage open enough for him to sneak inside, and as he jumped inside, he found Stormfly was chained inside too who was surprised to see him come to save her.
Eret slowly walked over to her while keeping his hands in the air, and as he knelt down, he gently placed his hand on her snout to sooth her.
"Thank you, for saving my life." Eret said gratefully as he heard a gentle growl from her which showed she trusted him which made him smile seeing it.
"Now let me return the favor." Eret said as he started to free her from her chains so they can get out of here with the others.
And back within the Dragons Nest again, Spike, Hiccup and Toothless were all currently explaining everything to Stoick, Gobber, Valka and Valkyrie on what they've been doing over the years. The news of Spike's mom being alive was still shocking to all of them, but it left Stoick glad to know they'll finally have answers to so many questions they've had over the years.
They were all currently in another part of the nest, and were all cooking up some food after such an eventful moment. And Hiccup only continued explaining what Valka's missed out on ever since they became friends with the dragons.
"Mom, you'd never even recognize it, but where we used to make our weapons. We now use it to make saddles and wing slings, we even fix dragon teeth!" Hiccup explained while chuckling at the last part while he and Spike grabbed some fish for them to eat.
"Berk feels like a completely different place then what it used to be, the years me and Hiccup have spent helping it grow and thrive more, becoming a safe haven for all dragons and Vikings everywhere, it's been a lot of work, but it was worth it with all that we've managed to do together." Spike added while handing Valkyrie some fish which she soon fried with her own fire to make it better for her.
"It sounds like a great place to live, maybe it wouldn't hurt to see it after all." Valkyrie said with a smile as they were both hesitant to accept this before Stoick and Gobber showed how honest they were about it.
"You'd be proud of your son for it Valkyrie, I know I have. They've both changed Berk for the better, I think we did well with this one Val." Stoick said proudly while looking at Hiccup who was really happy to hear that from him.
"Thanks dad." Hiccup said thankfully just before they accidentally dropped some fish on the ground which Toothless tried to eat, but was snatched up by Cloudjumper who ate it all in one large bite. But once Toothless made an upset whimper while looking up at him, Cloudjumper decided to cough up a bit of what he ate so Toothless could have the rest of it. While Spike found it pretty gross, he's seen it happen before, and just tried brushing it off for now.
"I'm a little out of practice." Valka said nervously as Stoick handed her some more food which they had cooked up just in case.
"Well, you know.. I didn't marry you for your cooking." Stoick complimented while Gobber was really enjoying the fried fish they cooked up together.
"I hope not! her meatballs could kill more beasts then a battle axe!" Gobber said with delight while he looked to Grump who was still trying to sleep besides him again.
"Still got a few knocking around here." Gobber joked while patting his stomach which Spike laughed at again while they all sat down to eat.
"I can see why! This is the best meal I've had!" Spike complimented while Valkyrie nodded in agreement hearing it.
"Believe me son, she's made even more meals that could last through an entire winter! Even Cloudjumper here has been able to go days without another meal with what she can make." Valkyrie said with a smile while looking at Cloudjumper who smiled again while looking at her.
"Oh man, once you move back to Berk with all your dragons, Drago won't stand a chance! Everything will be okay!" Hiccup said with joy while Valka walked around a bit just as Stoick tried calming him down after saying all that.
"Slow down Hiccup, it's still a lot to take in for her." Stoick said calmly as he put his arm over his shoulder while they saw Valka getting some water from a melting icicle just above them.
"Oh.. right.." Hiccup replied as they all could see she was still feeling guilty for being gone for so long, and as they saw this, they all looked at eachother and nodded before Hiccup slowly backed up to Spike and the others, leaving Stoick to try something to reconnect with her more.
Stoick suddenly began to whistle a tune in a soft, yet familiar tone which both Gobber and Valka recognized. Everyone watched him slowly walk up to her while he continued whistling as she stayed silent, and he gently took the bottle she had and set it aside.
"Remember the song Valka?" Stoick whispered softly while she still didn't respond, and he soon began to sing a familiar song which they had known for a long time.
"I'll swim, and sail on savage seas. With ne'er a fear of drowning.." Stoick sang as all of them watched him help her cheer up.
"And gladly ride the waves of life.. if you will marry me..." Stoick sang as he brushed his hand over her hair as he kept on singing.
"No scorching son, nor freezing cold... will..."
"Will stop me on my jour.. ney.." Gobber suddenly sang which made everyone glare at him to quite down, and he quickly sat back down and looked ashamed of himself for it. And after a few more moments, Stoick continued to sing the song to her with all his heart.
"If you will promise me your heart. And love..." Stoick sang quietly as he took her hand and held it close to him while she continued to stay silent, but after she stayed silent for too long, he only sighed sadly from not hearing anything..
"And love me for eternity.." Valka sang softly which made him gasp with joy as she went onto the next verse of the song.
"My dearest one, my darling dear, your mighty words astound me..." Valka sang while Spike and Toothless smiled even more as they were picking things up as Valka took Stoick's hand.
"And I've no need for mighty deeds. When I feel your arms around me!" Valka sang as they held eachothers arms which made Stoick laugh with joy as they were circling around eachother.
"But I would bring you rings of gold, I'd even sing you poetry! And I would keep you from all harm, if you would stay besides me!" Stoick sang even more while they began dancing with eachother as the music was picking up around them.
"I'll have no use for rings of gold, I care not for your poetry! I only want your hand to hold!" Valka continued on while they were both laughing with joy while spinning around together.
"I only want you near me, to love and kiss and sweetly hold! For the dancing and dreaming!" They both sang together while Gobber began dancing around which made Hiccup laugh while Spike began clapping along to the rhythm of the song.
"Through all it's sorrows and delights, I'll keep your love inside me!" They both sang at once while Gobber was dancing around playfully with Hiccup, followed up by Valkyrie and Spike tapping their feet along even more while Toothless and Cloudjumper continued to watch from the distance.
"I will swim and sail through savage seas, with ne'er fear of drowning! And will gladly ride the waves of life, if you will marry me!!" They both sang together before they finally finished the song as Stoick held her up into the air while laughing with joy. And they soon saw that Gobber was still singing the last verse which did make Toothless cover his ears.
"Make it stop Spike!" Toothless begged while covering his ears which made Spike tap his shoulder to make him stop.
"Okay I'll stop now." Gobber joked which made them all laugh again while Stoick and Valka hugged eachother tightly.
"That was beautiful.." Spike said with joy while Valkyrie had her own tears seeing them hold eachother like this after so long.
"It reminds me so much.. of how things used to be with Whisp. He'd be proud to see what you've been able to do here Spike." Valkyrie said as she put her arm over his shoulder next which left him wishing he was here to see this.
"Yeah.." Spike replied as he rubbed Toothless's head who felt regret knowing what she's gone through.
And as Stoick and Valka hugged eachother, they soon looked at eachother again, and felt pure joy for finally coming together again.
"I thought we would have to die before we would have that dance again." Stoick said softly which she only chuckled at.
"No need for drastic measures." Valka joked while they held eachothers hands.
"For you my dear.. anything." Stoick said as he bent down on one knee, and looked up to her with a look of hope after finding her again.
"Will you come home, Val? Will you be my wife once again?" Stoick asked hopefully which she took a few moments to process, but once Toothless playfully bumped her to her, they both laughed again as Hiccup joined in with his parents.
"We can be a family! What do you say?" Stoick asked with joy while she only laughed being asked all of this, and as she gave Toothless another rub on the snout, she finally felt confident enough to answer it.
"Yes!" Valka said with joy which made all of them incredibly happy to hear it.
"Welcome back to the family Valka!" Spike said proudly while he and Valkyrie joined in for a family hug together.
"Wherever you'll go, me and Cloudjumper will follow you Valka, and for my son.. I'll do anything to keep him safe.." Valkyrie said with tears while she hugged Spike and Toothless closer to her.
"Great! I'll do the cooking!" Gobber announced which made them all laugh again as they felt ready to try and finish things up for what they'll be doing after this.
"Thank Odin you didn't listen to me son, we never would've found eachother." Stoick said with a laugh as they were about to finish up their food for today.
But before anything else could happen, something suddenly caught their attention, they could suddenly hear all the dragons in the entire nest shrieking as they began flying around wildly, as if they were sensing something was wrong.
"What's happening?!" Hiccup asked with fear just as the entire place suddenly shook as something hit the nest, and they all had a dreadful feeling on what that meant.
"Come on, let's go! We need to move!" Spike screamed as he and Toothless began running towards the nearest exit, and as they all tried figuring this out, they all finally realized what's going on.. Drago had finally found them.
Author's Note
Thanks for reading this everyone! I hope I handled things well here once again, we're gonna be in for an emotional roller-coaster for the next chapter, and I hope with what I've done so far, you'll all look forward to it. I do wish that we got just a bit more time with Stoick and Valka together before this moment in the movie, but with what's to come next, I'll do my best to make it hit just as hard as it did in the film.
I'll try my best to blend Spike and Valkyrie into this next chapter, and do what they can as we reach the third act of the movie. I just hope I did things well here, and hope you look forward to more of it!
