Sea

(Astrid and Stormfly circle a lone iceberg, being used as arest stop for the Gang and their dragons. She lands with a frown, eyeing the distance)

Astrid: I don't like it. They should've been back with Y/n and Hiccup by now.

Ruffnut: I don't like it either. Eret son of Eret was the man of my dreams. My everything!

Snotlout: But, baby, I grew facial hair for you.

(Fishlegs strokes his peach fuzz beard, meek and dejected)

Fishlegs: Me, too.

Hilda: Guys. What if Drago shot them down? What if they need our help?

Astrid: We have to find them.

Fishlegs: What? But Stoick said...

Astrid: It doesn't matter what he said, if they've all been captured. I'm going to find MY man.

Hilda: Come on!

(She and Hilda fly off, determined)

-----Time Skip-----

(Eret's ship is beset by ice floes. The crew stirs on deck as he paces, grumbling, while nursing his head with a large chunk of ice)

No-Name: Do we go back?

Eret: We've nowhere to go! Nothing to sell! And no heads to call our own, if we don't turn up with dragons and fast-

(He's suddenly scooped up in Stormfly's talons)

Astrid: Careful what you wish for!

Ug: ERET SON OF ERET!

(Nets whiz past as Astrid and the Gang rocket out of range)

Eret: What is this?!

Hilda: A kidnapping.

(Ruffnut grabs his leg, clutching him possessively)

Ruffnut: Yay! Can he ride with me? Can he? Can he?

(Both Eret and Tuffnut groan in protest)

Astrid: You're gonna show us the way to Drago.

Eret: And help dragon riders sneak intoDrago's camp? Just kill me now.

Astrid: That can be arranged. Stormfly, drop it.

(In enthusiastic response, Stormfly pops open her talons, sending Eret plummeting. He wails and flails as he hurtles toward the ice far below)

Astrid: Good girl! Stormfly, fetch.

(She dives after him, just as enthusiastically. Eret is terrified, as the ground rushes up at him)

Eret: ALL RIGHT! OKAY! I'LL TAKE YOU TO DRAGO!

(Stormfly suddenly snatches him out of his free-fall just before hitting the ice. Astrid giggles and cracks her knuckles)

Astrid: Works every time.

Sky

(Y/n, Raiden, Hiccup and Toothless follow Valka and Cloudjumper over a majestic fjord in the long rays of the low Arctic sun. Hiccup peers over his shoulder to see that a thick flock of dragons, nearly all of Valka's rescues, are close on their tail. He turns back to his mother, confused)

Hiccup: Hey, I thought we were going to eat?

Valka: Oh, we are.

Y/n: We are?
