Hiccup's POV
..............................................
Astrid and I collected everyone and headed back to the stables. Gobbler was sharpening his favourite sword as we landed.
"Ahhhh. Did yah find the boy?"
"No Gobber. We didn't." I sighed as he walked into the forge. I grabbed a map and stared at it for a while.
"Can someone fill me in here." Gobber whispered loud enough for all of us to hear.
"Drago Bloodvist has been spotted off the island about two kilometres out." Astrid told him.
"Not that Terror!" Gobber growled. I glanced up and suddenly had an idea. I mounted Toothless, and headed for the shoreline. Astrid and the gang follow suit. Toothless landed and I jumped off.
"Astrid! Call the terrors! Toothless....call the sea creatures." Hiccup ordered. Astrid jumped on top of Stormfly and made a high pitched whistle. Ten Terrible Terrors appeared in a matter of moments.
"All the sea creatures?" Toothless joked. I smirked and moved the foot lever to auto. Toothless flew into the air and dived into the sea. After a few minutes ( dragons can hold their breath for more than two minutes ) Toothless shot out followed by a whole heard of Thunderdrums, Scouldrons and Seashockers.
"Go! Spy on the ship to the east of here!" I roared in dragonese. Toothless landed and watched the dragons disappear.
"Send the Terrors babe!"
"Follow the Thunderdrums!" Astrid screeched. The Terrors flew swiftly after the Thunderdrums. I could see the large vessel in the far distance.
"So.....what do we do now?" Fishlegs asked in random. All eyes fell on me.
"Nothing. We head back to the forge, get some armour on, and wait for the dragons to come back." I replied slowly as I mounted Toothless.

After ten minutes of waiting, I couldn't wait anymore. The sun was setting slowly and neither the Terrors nor the Sea Dragons were back. Alvin walked over at this point, followed by Savage.
"Astrid told me everything. Is it true that Drago is close?" Alvin asked.
"Well, he's not headed here. He's gone straight past us. Astrid and I sent some dragons out to spy, but they haven't returned." I replied sadly.
"Wait a second. Did you say that he just sailed past us?" Alvin suddenly went stiff.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Berk." Savage said for Alvin. Gobber's eyes widened and he flew into the Forge.
"He's gone to attack Berk! Hiccup, we must go!" Toothless roared. At that moment, a Scouldron landed next to me.
"The ships are headed to Berk master."
