Drago and his fleet were on the move toward Berk, when he received word that the Dragon Master attained not only a Titan Bewilderbeast but also a Bewilderbeast egg, he was angry. His enemies were growing in strength faster than he had anticipated. So his forces would engage Berk and the Strike people, Drago and Krogan would capture those the Dragon Master loves  and use the Dragon Masters loved ones as leverage, he'd have no choice but to either submit or suffer.

Around midnight, Drago and his fleet arrived in Hooligan waters, the warlord ordered his forces to set anchor behind the sea stacks to avoid detection. Berk was too well defended, so they'd have to use stealth and shadow as their weapons.

Krogan, wrapped around his black cloak readied for flight until he heard Drago climbing behind him. "Are your men ready Krogan?" The warlord asked his second in command. The leader of the Flyers nodded at Drago and ordered his men to follow him. They all flew in a tight formation, near the water, since Singetails hate altitude. Krogan's Flyers waited in the forest; ready to pounce once they were given a command.

Drago and Krogan landed behind Hiccup's massive home, the two males slid off the Titan Wing Singetail and quietly broke into their enemies home. As soon as they entered and quietly closed the door, they heard cries of an infant, Drago smiled widely, this was getting better and better. They soon heard footsteps coming down the stairs, the two men hid themselves, they laid eyes on Astrid, as she was breast feeding Stoick II.

Krogan pulled out his blow dart; ready to shoot, he looked at Drago, though he mouthed a 'no' at Krogan, they then heard other footsteps approaching, they saw Mala and Eira approach Astrid. Mala had stayed over to help babysit Eira and give Astrid aid.

"Eira's hungry too?" Astrid asked teasingly, the little girl smiled and nodded, Mala chuckled and began cooking a quick soup that would satisfy the little girls appetite.

Hiccup, who was soundly asleep but was suddenly rudely woken up by a war horn going off. The horn hadn't been used for dragon attacks in years and most tribes that weren't allied with Greater Berk weren't dumb enough to mess with the famed dragon riders of Berk. Yet, they still kept watch and the horn WAS being blown.

They were under attack.

Hiccup jumped out of bed, quickly putting on his armor, strapped Inferno to his belt and grabbed his helmet, and he sprinted downstairs.

Stoick started crying and Astrid began rocking him quietly, she tried to comfort her little one. The horn was still blowing and Hiccup could hear the village starting to stir. Shade came over and nudged Astrid waiting to be saddled up. Hiccup looked at her and saw conflict brewing in her deep blue eyes. She glanced over at her own armor before looking back at Stoick, taking a deep breath and sighing.

"Hey Hiccup?" Astrid called as he fastened Toothless's saddle. He turned toward his wife while Calus was fastening Winters saddle.

"Yeah?"

"I think I'm going to sit this one out." He exhaled in relief, smiling at her.

"Good idea." He replied, Astrid was speaking again but Hiccup got lost in a trance like state over his wife.

"I... I just think it would be a good idea and all. You know, he's only a few days old and...what?"

"Nothing, I'm just glad you're okay with all this."

"You mean not being out there in the midst of glorious battle with you and..."
