Magnus's POV:
When I woke up, I saw that I was on a ship. The flag ship to be exact. The ship that dad sails in. Then I felt it. The bars that kept my body in place. The peace of oak around my neck. The muzzle on my snout.
I would have shifted to get out of this mess. Just a small problem. I didn't know how to shift. I knew that they needed me for something, otherwise I wouldn't be alive.
Then a shriek that belonged to a Lightning Fury filled my ears. And at the same time, a rattling that I knew belonged to The Queen entered my head. I started to follow the rattling with my head, and I felt the boat turn the same way. Then I jerked forward from the force of the ship hitting something.
Then, a single thought found its way into my head. How is Stormstryker flying? Then I looked on his back and saw Embla
That thought left my head once I heard an earsplitting roar coming from the nest. The Queen revealed herself from the nest and I managed to get a better look at her. And I knew what she was... a Red Death.
She caught sight of me, and she started to advance on the ship I was on, a smirk on her lips.
Instincts kick in at that moment. I started to cower in my bonds.
"PROTECT THAT LIGHTNING FURY AT ALL COSTS!!!" I heard dad call to the rest of the Vikings.
"MAGNUS!!!!" I looked up to see a certain Night Fury above me.
"Toothless!" I called, "Where's Storm?!"
"Back on Berk." He said, landing Infront of me. Then I saw that he had no saddle, no rope running to his tail, and most importantly, no prosthetic tail fin.
"Hiccup?" I asked once I noticed the scar on his chin. He smiled a toothless smile.
"Suprise." He said nervously, "Guess we're both hybrids. Now let's get you out of these bonds."
"Leave that to me." I responded, "I should be able to call a storm. After all, the Lighting Fury is known as the 'offspring of Thunder and darkness itself."
I then let out a roar so load that I was sure whoever was left on Berk could hear me. The ship rocked and the ground shook.
"What in the name of Odin?" Dad said in shock.
"What was that?" The Red Death asked. I smirked when I felt my power increase drastically. Then I felt lightning hit me.
I felt my bones shift and my muscles shrink, my face shrink, my paws turn into hands and feet, my wings and tail shrink into my now human body, and finally, my scales disappear into my skin. I got out of my bonds and then Lightning hit me again and I shifted into a dragon again. I let out another earth-shattering roar.
"YOU'VE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE MESSING WITH BERK!!!!!" I roared, then I heard a Deadly Nadder squawk, a Monstrous Nightmare, Gronckle, Hideous Zippleback, Night Fury, and finally, a...
"LIGHTNING FURY!!!" Gobber shouted, "GET DOWN!!!"
Then every dragon started to shoot at The Queen.
"MAGNUS!!" Stormstryker shouted. Then he and Toothless ran out of blasts.
"TOOTHLESS, STORMSTRYKER! GET OUT OF THERE!!" Me and my brother shouted. Then we took off, but I felt a hand on my shoulder, keeping me from leaving the ground. I looked back to see dad.
I shifted to my hybrid form so that I could talk with him. "Magnus, I'm sorry for- for everything." Then Hiccup landed next to me, riding Toothless.
"Yeah, me too." I responded, "I should have been more patient with you."
