"What do you think the baby's name is? Does he look like a Cole Jr to you?" Cole questions.

It was morning now and everyone had gotten little sleep before getting started on trying to fix the bounty. The dragon riders had no clue how to do that so they were taking shifts for patrol. "I think you should put the baby down and help us out," Jay responds from where he had his head in a rocket thruster.

"The baby probably has parents and a name Cole," Astrid points out helping to clean the deck of jungle debris nearby. Currently the twins were the ones in the air looking for Hiccup, Lloyd, and Harumi while Snot-lout handed tools to Jay and Fish-legs was cleaning jungle debris on the other side of the ship. Stormfly, Meat-lug, and Hookfang were all around the perimeter keeping a look out for danger. The jungle was too thick to see very far in front of him.

Cole frowns at Astrid. "Yeah, but what type of good parents let their child be kidnapped by a biker gang?" Cole refutes and turns to Jay who was removing Stormfly's tail spikes from the thrusters. "My personal opinion is we should name the baby Mini-lout. Because he's mini," Snot-lout said proudly.

"Yeah, but your personal opinion doesn't matter since you've done nothing for the baby," Cole said bluntly and held the baby over to Jay below. "Bluebell do you want to keep the baby? Your parents would love to be grandparents," Cole said enticingly tickling the baby to make them giggle.

Jay made a choking sound inside the thruster and bangs his head pulling it out to look up at Cole in disbelief while he rubbed it.

"Cole we are nineteen! We are not becoming teenage parents," Jay shuts down. "But you said you wanted kids!" Cole argues pouting and giving puppy eyes. "Jay and Astrid is right Cole. We agreed we all want to someday have children, but we are not in the position to be suitable and stable ones," Zane agrees through the coms from nearby as he works on fixing the control panel with Pixel.

"I don't hear Kai saying anything," Cole points out and had mud thrown at his face. He wipes it off and looks down at Kai who was using a stick to draw in the mud after a quick annoyed glare.

"What's Kai doing?" Astrid questions. "No idea. I think the silence is making him crazy which means he's not helping us with fixing the thrusters," Jay answers going back to fixing the thrusters before popping his head back out. "Okay if I honestly had to choose between the spikes or sword I definitely say the spikes were better. They jammed the thrusters, but weren't large enough or big enough to majorly damage the internal wiring or fuel pumps like a katana would," Jay explains to everyone. "Okay Zane give it another try," Jay said onto the coms and got no response.

"Zane?" Again no response on the coms. Jay groans and throws his tool away. "That is it! Now the short range coms won't work!" Jay complains.

His tool got thrown back at him and hit his back. "OW!" Jay turns around and glares at Kai who glared at the master of lightning gesturing to the muddy ground where Jay's tool had landed in front of him completely ruining whatever Kai had been trying to write.

"Babe I love you, but drawing in the mud like a four year old is not helping right now," Jay explains his patience obviously fraying.

Jay turns away and didn't see Kai's absolute expression of rage and helpless frustration.

Suddenly everyone hears growling and the dragons heads all snap in that direction. Kai backs against the bounty climbing up it as everyone tenses. "What was that?" Snot-lout questions tense and fearful. "Oh probably just a monster with teeth, sharp claws, venomous saliva," Jay began to freak out so Astrid put a stop to it.

"Whatever's out there you have us and our dragons keeping watch and protection. Just focus on fixing the ship and we'll handle the rest," Astrid said in her leadership voice and with a kind reassurance.
