"Dragons off the stern!" came a booming voice. Pouncer shrieked in terror as an arrow narrowly missed him, and dodged a bolas that came hurtling towards him. Suddenly, a huge explosion rocked the ship, followed by another shortly after. The slender figures of their parents shimmered briefly in the air before disappearing into the clouds. Pouncer and Ruffrunner followed suit, the bright sparks from their explosions glittering triumphantly above the ship. As the four furies divebombed the ship, it was as if the sky itself was falling upon its victims with vengeful fury. Not far behind were a huge cloud of dragons, racing to support their alpha.

Landing on the remains of the ship, Toothless let out a roar that shook the heavens. Grump flew over, breaking the cage and releasing a scared but otherwise fine Dart. 

"Mummy! Daddy!" she squeaked, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

The furies embraced each other with tears of relief and joy, for a moment all they could see were kind, loving eyes and familiar shapes, all they could hear was the beating of their hearts. But then reality came rushing back and Toothless broke away from the group, advancing on the cowering Vikings.

"Leave here alive and never come back!" roared Toothless. "Next time I will not be so forgiving."

At that the dragons flew away, back to the safety of their Hidden World.
