A/n: Okay, there's six dragons in Vera's flock that a lot of you should be able to recognize if you saw the third movie...which I'm pretty every Httyd fan has.

It was still night when Fearless and the other baby dragons were still wandering around the forest until...they saw Tuffnut and a chicken. Fearless, Smash & Grab, Pebble, Chopper, Blizz, and Moose all smiled happily when they saw Tuffnut while the baby Scauldron whined quietly with a cautious look in his eyes, but Tuffnut didn't notice the baby dragons.

Tuffnut: ( full of relief, while looking at the chicken: ) Oh...it's just a chicken. It's a tiny chicken. ( Clears throat ) Hellooo breakfast!

Fearless was about to walk up to Tuffnut, but suddenly a giant dragon appeared in the sky behind Tuffnut, who gasped when he turned around.

Tuffnut: Oh...my...Thor...

All the baby dragons except for Fearless followed Tuffnut as he and the chicken ran away in fear while Fearless made a cute roar before he began flying straight towards the giant dragon and-

( With Tuffnut, Chicken, and the other baby dragons. Hehehe )

The six baby dragons roared in fear as they followed the screaming Tuffnut and the chicken to the Dragon riders' campsite, awakening the other riders and their dragons who were surprised to see Moose, Blizz, Pebble, Chopper, and Smash & Grab.

Tuffnut: Help us! Ah! Aah! Chicken! Roaring! Roaring huge chicken! Fearless living up to his name! Chicken roar!

Fishlegs: Is he saying that he saw a big roaring chicken? And what are Vera's baby dragons doing here, and is that a baby Scauldron?

The baby Scauldron whined as he was panting heavily due to him being a tidel class dragon that's not used to running on land, causing Ruffnut to look at him with concern.

Tuffnut: Not chicken...dragon. Huge! Massive! ( To Smash & Grab: ) What's another word?

Smash & Grab whined together at the same time as they were catching their breaths, and Barf & Belch went up to them to check if they were okay and Toothless went up to the other baby dragons to check if they were okay.

Tuffnut: Right, thanks, S & G. ( dead serious: ) Colossal.

Fishlegs: But what happened to the chicken?

Tuffnut: Forget about the chicken! WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!

Astrid: ( yawns ) Is anyone falling for this?

Smash & Grab cutely raise one of their front legs in the air in response to Astrid's questions, and the other baby dragons copied them.

Ruffnut: ( to the rest of the gang as she picked up the exhausted baby Scauldron and held him in her arms: ) I don't know, I haven't seen him this freaked out since he found a leech on his-

Astrid: Okaaay, I'm going to stop you there...ugh...

Hiccup: ( to the gang, with a serious expression: ) Even though I don't know if what Tuffnut's saying is true... Fearless could be in danger and they seem to somehow separate themselves from Vera and Estrella, so let's leave them with our dragons for their own safety and go check this out, then we can all go back to sleep once we make sure Fearless is okay.

( with Fearless )

Fearless had a very displeased expression on his face as he was currently being held by the scruff of his neck by one of the many tiny dragons that made the " giant dragon " while they were flying through the air with him in their grasp, as the baby sand wraith had accidentally triggered all the tiny dragons' maternal instincts when he charged towards them. Fearless mentally praying that his siblings, their surrogate mother, or the rest of the flock finds him and save him from the tiny dragons that were carrying him around like he was a newly hatched dragonet.

( Meanwhile with Vera and the flock )

Vera and the flock were now wide awake and were frantic as they instantly noticed that Vera's baby dragons were gone.

Vera: Oh, my poor babies, they must be scared out of their minds. Oh, that's it. ( To the rest of the flock, with a serious expression: ) Stand in attention, flock! Separate yourselves into five squadrons and squadron leaders stand in front!

All of the dragons of Vera's flock except for the new rescues, quickly stopped what they were doing, split into five squadrons with SkyFalcon, GlimmerSpring, Estrella, Puds, and Firecutter standing in front of each squadron, like soldiers listening to the orders of their general or in dragon terms, dragons that were listening to the orders of their alpha, Vera.

Vera: ( to the flock, sternly with a dead serious expression: ) Change in plans. We are not leaving this island until we find those seven dragonets. Estrella squadron, search the north side of the island with me. Puds squadron, to the south. GlimmerSpring squadron, the east. SkyFalcon squadron, the west. Firecutter squadron, stay behind and watch over the new rescues and the rest of the flock's young and eggs, if there are dragon hunters on this island, we aren't going to have them take anymore of our flock. Rebel, search this island's waters.

Rebel quickly nod his head before he flew into the air and dived into the water to begin his search.

Vera: ( to the flock, with a dead serious expression: ) Now, if there are hunters on this island and they had the guts to take my babies from under our noses... Wasp, Orchid, Mantia, Deadleaf, Carolina, Wandering-Violin, front and center!

A small pack of six Deathgrippers with identical faded scars on their foreheads and were black and red in color with yellow eyes walked up to Vera with the male Deathgripper with the damaged eye in front, they then bowed their head to Vera when they were only a few feet away from her.

Vera: ( to the six Deathgrippers, with a dead serious expression: ) Search for any signs of dragon hunters on this island, and if our missing dragonets are with them and they hurt them, give them a permanent scar and throw them into the ocean water after you rescue the dragonets. If this was a reckless action of dragon hunters, they need a reminder of how much power we hold back on them.

The male Deathgripper " Wasp " nod his head with a low purr in response before he and the rest of the Deathgrippers took off to begin their search, and the flock squadrons took off and split up to begin their search for the missing baby dragons while Firecutter and his squadron stayed behind to watch over the rescues and the rest of the flock's young and eggs like Vera told them. Firecutter walked over to his three offspring and sat beside them as they whined with worry for the seven missing baby dragons, which Firecutter responded by comfortingly and gently curled his tail around them, reassuring them that Vera and the rest of flock will find the missing baby dragons.
