A bird pecked on the ground.
To one side of it was a large white lab, partically in the water of a large lake. On it's other side was an ancient rainforest, with several large bushes.
It looked up and cocked it's head as someone whispered, But I look silly!
"Just get out there!"
But I look ridiculous!
"Just go!"
The bird took flight as a small snow leopard was pushed out the bush in it's place, dressed in a large black net that was tangled between it's paws and legs.
Sprinkles glared back at the bush and Hiccup and Fang (in human form) poked their heads out. Hiccup made a shooing motion with his hands, urging Sprinkles to go on.
Sprinkles gave an exaggerated sigh and pretended to limp, dragging her back leg along the ground.
Oh my, I have been caught in a trap, she said monochromatically. Oh, I just hope no one takes advantage of a lonely snow leopard like me who could be used for painful experiments.
"Is that meant to be convincing, Sprinkles?" Fang hissed from behind the bush. "You sound like a salesman who's got nothing but string to sell!"
I have got nothing but string to sell, Sprinkles shot back, holding up a strand of the net in her front paw. What d'you think this is?
"Just try to make it sound more like you're actually hurt," Hiccup whispered, "And not trying to lead them into a trap."
But I am-!
Suddenly, Hiccup and Fang disappeared behind the bush, and a loud clanging sound made Sprinkles whip around.
Three armed men, the same kinds who had kidnapped Toothless, appeared at the door, their rifles held stiffly as they looked around, their faces solid and stone-like.
Then they looked down.
And they laughed.
