Akiaria - Right now; The Present
"The Reaper? The ship Johann warned us about?" Astrid asked with a concerned gaze.

"Exactly.. A ship covered with booby traps from stem to stern.. I'm thinking, what is on there that they don't want people to find?"

Some time later spent in flying over; Time Skip

We fly onto the ship and land carefully. "This boat is definitely not from the archipelago—" Hiccup comments, "—These carvings, the designs on the sail- I've never seen anything like this."

"Neither have I!" I spoke up. "Wait, this metal!"

"What is it? Whats wrong with the metal?"

"The cage is empty, thats for sure, but I've never seen this kind of metal before."

Tuffnut & Ruffnut - Right now; The Present
"Jewels, jewels! You know what we're going to do?" Tuffnut speaks up as he grabs jewels from what seems to be a fairly sized, golden-ish chest with lots of gems inside. "We're bringing them back for the family. Mom will be so happy!"

"Wait, but how are we going to carry all these back to Berk?"

Ruffnut's eyes look around then she opens her mouth, smiling, sort of.

Tuffnut gasps. "Great idea, sis! I can't believe I didn't think about that! Here, I may do it too. I'm also gonna put jewels in your mouth. Yeah! I gotta keep mine empty so I can talk."

"aH!- Keep comin'. Keep 'em coming."

Grunting sounds are being heard.
-
Fishlegs - Right now; The Present
"Whoo! Oh, yeah! Oh yeah! Fishlegs!" I am giggling right now. Well, I think I sound like I am. "Maps, old books and charts!! Oh ho ho ho.. Theres no greater treasure than knowledge!!!!"
-
Snotlout - Right now; The Present
I open.. What is that? A barrel, maybe? "I'm gonna be rich! I'm gonna be rich! Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich! Hm.. Well, hello, Mr. Ornate Box. What treasures do you hold?" I say and touches the top a little. "Ha ha ha ha! Rich!" I aim my hands up in the air in joy. Or maybe obsessiveness with treasure (although I would never admit that), and I open the chest. "Ho! Rich!!- HAIR! EW! Who keeps hair in a box? There's got to be more around here!" I go to dig in further into the chest. "More hair? Blech! Man, what a rip-off."

I begin to be excited. "Or, is it?" I begin to joyfully imitate people. "I'm Stoick the Vast! Hiccup, you're such a disappointment! Why can't you be more like Snotlout? Eh, I'm Ruffnut- Or am I Tuffnut? Who can tell? Hahaha! I'm- Oh, this is actually kind of nice." I'm smiling. You must be thinking, this guy's serious? Thats a very ugly fake hairdo. Wait, is it real or not?!??! Well, OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS! AND THIS IS REAL HAIR! IT'S NOT UGLY!!!

Hiccup - Right now; The Present
"Come on, bud. Don't you want to see whats down below?" Toothless growls at the hole. "Alright, fine. Guess I'm going in alone. Aah- Whoa!" I suddenly get dragged away by what seems to be a rope of some sort, and Toothless quickly runs toward me in (what seems to be) a mad dash and shoots a plasma blast at it. "Whoa!- Okay, nobody goes to this much trouble unless there is something on this boat that they definitely don't want to be found."

Toothless snorts, looking around, but then quickly goes to catch up to me. Toothless then lights up the lantern that I am holding infront of me. "Well, watch your step, bud. Woah!- Toothless!" My (luckily, it was the metal one) foot gets caught in a bear trap. "One of the benefits of a metal leg, I suppose." We continue searching with Toothless following quietly.
