Frida's terrors were in the village and were searching for Frida on foot as they had been separated from her, Ghost and Grump were gently and carefully rolling Rocky the "rock" along with them. The five dragons then bumped into Gustav, who looked at them with surprise.

Gustav: Dusty, Sky, Ghost, NoseBiter, Grump? What are you guys doing with a big rock? Wait, where's Frida?

The terrors whined in response.

Gustav: Oh, no. This can't be good. Especially with Mildew wanting the dragons caged and Frida banish... ( To the terrors, with a serious expression: ) Come on, guys. Let's go find her together, I'm sure she's somewhere in the village.

Gustav and the terrors then heard a distant explosion, and they saw a mushroom cloud of smoke coming from where the food storage house was.

When they got to the scene, they saw that the dragon rider dragons including Toothless were eating the food in the storage and Gustav saw Hiccup trying to talk to Stoick.

Hiccup: Dad, please! You gotta listen to me. I know dragons better than-

Stoick: Not now, Hiccup. I have a village to feed. The dragons have done enough damage. By tonight, I want every one of them caged. Understand?

Gustav stood in front of Frida's terrors as the tiny dragons whined in worry and Gustav had a look of worry on his face, Grump rolled Rocky closer to the group as they hid behind the viking boy.

Mildew: Bah! You can't just cage these dragons! You need to send them and that lycanwing away now!

Viking #1: Stoick, Mildew's right!

Viking #2: Get 'em out of here!

Stoick: ( sternly, to the vikings: ) That lycanwing is my daughter. ( Sighs ) But, Mildew's right about the dragons. We'll cage them tonight, and in the morning, Hiccup will send them off the island. ( To Hiccup: ) I'm sorry, son.

Gustav glared at the adults before he picked up the "rock" with both arms and walked off with Frida's terrors behind him. Gustav walked past the chief, the riders, and the adult vikings, and he stomped on Mildew's foot when he walked past him.

Mildew: Ow! Why you little-

Stoick: Gustav, where's Frida?

Gustav didn't say anything to Stoick, he just huffed angrily and continued walking, surprising the adults and teens.

Gustav and the five terrors walked further into the village, and found Frida at the edge of the village, with no adults in sight. Frida was in her dragon form, and she was angrily chewing on a wheel of a cart, her pupils slitted and a glowing yellow liquid dripping out of her fangs, staining the wood of the cart and making a puddle underneath.

Gustav: Frida!

Frida's pupils quickly went back to normal when hearing Gustav's voice, she stopped chewing on the cart and turned to Gustav and her dragons. There was now a bite mark on the wheel, it looked both dragon and human-like.

Frida: Oh. Hi, Gustav!

Gustav: You're the one that's been making the strange bite marks and the weird yellow puddles?!

Frida: ( sighs tiredly ) Yeah...

Gustav: Why?

Frida: I can't help it! I just have so much extra energy because of the change to a easier life style, and rough housing can only do so much. I don't need to hunt or fish for food, or fight for survival anymore. And it is driving me crazy, I keep snapping randomly, attacking objects, and I keep making yellow fang spit puddles, and I have no control over it. Plus I can't exactly tell anyone about it, especially now!

Gustav looked at Frida with slight understanding as she looked away with shame and her terrors yet to comfort her by nuzzling into her. Gustav then noticed that it was getting dark.

Gustav: ( to Frida: ) Hey, we'll figure something out, let's just go to the Great Hall to eat for now. Okay?

Frida slowly nods her head at her friend before turning into her human form.

( Slight Time Skip, at the Great Hall )

Gustav and Frida were sitting at the table across from the table the teens were sitting at, Frida now had a sad look on her face while she hugged Rocky the "rock" and her terrors sitting in front of her under the table as she had gotten the news about caging the dragons and sending them off in the morning. Gustav saw that the teens also had sad looks on their faces.

Gustav was trying to figure out a way to help his friend and the dragons as all the teens except for Hiccup left the Great Hall to lock up their dragons in the arena. Gustav then saw Mildew walk up to Hiccup and Toothless, and he glared at the old man as he listens to what the old man was saying to the rider and his night fury.

Mildew: ( mock regret: ) Oh, Toothless, I'm gonna miss you so much... You know what your mistake was? Thinking dragons could be trained. But a dragon's gonna do what a dragon's gonna do. It's their nature. And nature always wins.

Before Toothless could attack Mildew out of anger as the old man walked away, the Great Hall doors open, letting in a cold chill that makes the fireplace go out. Toothless then decides to help by relighting the fire with a plasma blast.

Viking Woman: Oh! Thank you, Toothless.

This not only gave Hiccup an idea, but Gustav had an idea as well, and he ran to Hiccup and whispered something to the teen before the rider could take off.

Hiccup: ( to Gustav: ) Good idea, Gustav. I'll stop the others from locking up the dragons.

Gustav: And I'll help Frida burn off some of her extra energy.

Frida suddenly turned into a dragon, and bit the table with her pupils slitted and a glowing yellow liquid dripping out of her fangs. Hiccup, Toothless, and Gustav watched with widened eyes.

Gustav: Speaking of which, I'll do that right now...
