Ten Years Later. Unknown Island.

Hiccup P.O.V.
It had all come true. His hopes of ending the Dragon-Viking war, all complete. He had managed to convince some people from other tribes to go with him, see the good side of dragons. He had even set up a tribe of dragon riders, who had an official island home.
It was all perfect. Soon he would be meeting with some other tribes to discuss a peace treaty, for future benefits.

On Berk.
Everything had certainly changed. The dragons hardly raided them anymore, letting for an easier life, and many were glad. All of the Teens had grown, but none more than Astrid and Eagle. Astrid had grown taller, stronger, and smarter, and had gained some muscle. Eagle had grown a bit taller then Astrid, and now had two twins swords that he made several years ago, forged by a metal that no one else knew about, as well as two small axes for light combat.

Astrid and Eagle were in the training arena, training some new recruits in the way of battle.
One of the trainees was Astrid's younger sister, Ericka, who was born shortly after Eagle had arrived at Berk. Then Gustav, who acted like a smaller version of Snotloud. And a few others (unimportant.)
Currently the trainees were being told what dragons they would be training against.
"The first dragon you will be going against is the Gronkle." Astrid said, smirking at Eagle to give the signal.
Eagle put his hand on the lever.
"You're going to tell us how to beat it, right?" Ericka asked nervously.
The trainers looked over at the students.
"We believe in learning on the job." They both said, right as Eagle pulled the lever.
The kids scattered, each running about in a disorganized fashion.
"First thing you'll need is a..." Astrid asked, watching her sister.
"Shield!" Gustav yelled.
The Gronkle fired right at his side, missing by inches.
"Never hold still! Keep your movement random." Eagle called.
All the kids ran for the shield stock, each grabbing one and guarding themselves.
"Work as a team! Loud noises confuse dragons." Astrid shouted at them.
None of the kids listened though, and the dragon targeted Ericka, as she was the closest. It shot her, shattering her shield and knocking her down.
"Ericka!" Astrid shouted, running to her defense.
"I got ya." Gustav said, overconfident as always.
He threw his small sword at it, but it bounced off the Gronkle's thick hide. The Gronkle turned to chase him down.
"HELP!" Gustav screamed as it chased him down.
"Help your teammate!" Eagle called to the other trainees, who ran to the beast as instructed.
Astrid helped Ericka stand up, and brought her to the side.
"Stay here." She instructed, before walking back.
The other trainees had surrounded the Gronkle, but had no clue what to do now. Eagle rolled his eyes and stretched his muscles, knowing he would have to take charge.
"You're doing well, but you need to fight it as a team." Eagle yelled, getting bored.
The kids then did the worst thing ever. They all through their weapons at it, leaving them weaponless. With their pathetic strength, the weapons bounced off it, and they realized their mistakes to late.
It slammed into Gustav, sending him flying, and blasted away at the others. When they were at the Gronkle's mercy, Eagle and Astrid stepped in, drawing their weapons. The beast couldn't even move as it was knocked unconscious in less then a minute, all from the partners graceful attacks.
"Woah." Ericka said in awe as she watched.
They hauled the dragon back to its cage, and had the teens line up.

With their heads down in shame, they got a strict lecture.
"Teamwork is what you should've had by now, knowing what to do with your allies will be the greatest asset you'll have in battle." Astrid said, making sure to stare at her sister.
"As well as battle knowledge. Throwing your only weapon away was something I thought everyone knew to avoid! Guess I was wrong." Eagle said, disappointment and anger filling his voice.
Gustav tried to defend himself.
"Well when you're to far away-" But he got cut off.
"That excuses saving your teammate, not when you all have it surrounded and ready to kill." Astrid interjected angrily.
Gustav shut his mouth.
"Go home, and think about what you could have done better." Eagle said roughly.
They all shuffled out, sad that they had all failed. Leaving Astrid and Eagle alone.
