The boats sailed Into the thick fog

"Sound your positions. Stay within earshot."

"Here!"

Stoick looked out the boat

"One length to your stern."

Gobber spoke up

"Listen, Stoick, I was overhearing some of the men and, well, some of them are wondering what it is we're up to here. Not me, of course."

"I know you're always the man with the plan. But some, not me, are wondering if there is in fact a plan at all. And what it might be."

"Find the nest and take it." Stoick said

"Of course, send them running. The old viking fallback. Nice and simple."

Toothless's ears began twitching and he let out a low noise

"Step aside" stoick walked to the edge of the boat

Toothless rose up and looked around, his ears till twitching

He looked to the right side and sniffed

This signalled Stoick to turn right

Toothless then looked left and Stoick turned the ship left

"Bear to port."

...

(Y/n) and Hiccup were stood right next to the gates that contained the dragons

"If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronckle." Fishlegs said

Tuffnut pushed his way to the front

"You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon." He told the two

"Really? Where is it?" (Y/n) asked

"It's me." He deadpanned

Snotlout pushed Tuffnut away

"I love this plan."

"We didn't..."

Ruffnut leaned into Hiccup

"You're crazy. I like that."

Astrid pulled her away by her hat

"So, what is the plan?" He asked the two

...

The vikings passed by old, abandoned ships

They all looked up at it

"That's not really encouraging."

Gobber chuckled

"Oh, I was wondering where that went."

The ship crashed against something

"Stay low and ready your weapons."

Toothless was getting more aggressive, trying to get out the chains

There was chittering coming from inside the caves and a dragon tail was poking out

"We're here." Stoick whispered

When he jumped off the boat, the noises stopped

...

Hiccup and (y/n) slowly brought the monstrous nightmare out of the cage

Everyone looked at it with amazement

Snotlout fidgeted and picked up his blade but Astrid hit his shoulder and gave him a look

Snotlout panicked when it got closer to him

Hiccup reacher out to grab Snotlout's hand but he kept pulling it away
