This has been running around in my brain for a while, enjoy

Dagur had been travelling with Ryker and his men for a few days now. He'd been keeping an eye out for any new on his sister but so far he'd heard nothing and he was starting to worry. He hoped nothing bad had happened to her, and if anything had happened he'd tracked down those responses and make them pay.

He was already planning some creative revenge when suddenly there was an explosion above his head. When he looked around there were no dragons anywhere. On the deck however there was a… kid? Standing next to a massive sling shot holding some sort of metal ball. Dagur watched as he fiddled with one for a second then loaded it into the sling shot and launched it high into the sky. It exploded. 

"WHAT IN THOR'S NAME ARE YOU DOING?!"

Ryker screamed as he stormed onto deck.

"Oh sorry Ryker did I wake you? I was just testing out my new explosives." 

The kid said smirking. 

"IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?!" 

"Yep! It's the perfect time! Stand back I'm going to set another one off." 

He replied loading another cartridge into the sling shot.

"Oh no you're not. Get back below deck."

"Oh come on just one mor- hey!!" 

Ryker grabbed the kid by the back of his hood, picking him up off the ground in one fluid motion. Alpheus tried to kick him but missed and hit the catapult instead, launching another explosive up into the sky. Ryker growled at the kid as it went off.

“I swear, if Viggo weren't so fond of you.” 

Ryker glared at him. Dagur, not liking the way Ryker was looking at the kid decided to step in. 

“Come on Ryker, the kids just trying to help. And personally I think,” Dagur gestured to the the catapult, “whatever this is could be quite useful in our fight against hiccup and his riders.” 

Ryker lowered Alpheus back to the ground attention now turned onto Dagur. 

“Just because you and your men can't handle a couple of teenagers doesn't mean we can't. And if you think the kids so helpful then here,” Ryker shoved the kid towards him “he's your problem now.” 

The kid glared up at him. Dagur barely glanced at him, instead he stared at Ryker grinning ear from ear. 

“Perfect. Kid, you got anything else you wanna show off?” 

The kids eyes lit up as he furiously nodded.

“Perfect, show me.” 

The kid practically dragged him below deck. Talking his ear off the whole time. 

His room was covered in soot, oil, metal scraps and paper. There were sketches covering the walls each showing off various inventions and notes on they would operate. 

The kid was pulling off all the covers dragging him over to each one, explaining in great detail how each would work. Dagur was especially interested in the bola launched, similar to the one in hiccups shield but much bigger. 

“I made it to fire a bola at Ryker, but don't tell him that! He thinks it was made for dragons!” 

Dagur smiled, nodding his head. 

“Oh don't worry, I won't say a word. As long as you let me borrow it that is.” 

Alpheus nodded.

“I need to fix it tho, Lars the idiot broke it! And Ryker won't buy me the stuff I need to fix it.”
