Hiccup was pulled into the arena with Jasmine at his side, both had their hands tied behind their back. Grimmel in front of them. "My spies have yet to return, but when they do we will be able to crush the dragon riders, and they will be able to watch you two die." He said in a deathly calm voice. Hiccup was nervous but noticed that Jasmine wasn't shaken and gave her credit for her bravery, but then realised she must've been through this multiple times before since she is hunted for her dragon soul. "And what makes you think that killing us will stop them? or killing me will stop them?" She said bravely and Grimmel's gaze darkened and he threw a punch which Jasmine ducked for and he hit his guard. "Strong, but sloppy." She commented, and the Deathgrippers came close but Jasmine let out a loud growl and to his surprise, despite the fact they were under the drug, they backed away. "Continue your 'oh so great' speech." She invited and Grimmel scowled. "The dragon riders will attack soon, and you will both being luring them in." As he said that a male Night Light flew into the arena and a flash blinded Hiccup for a moment before a boy with black hair stood there. "Aiden, what has happened to Charlotte?" He asked and Aiden was shaking. The boy looked terrified, with cuts and grazes across his body and bruises. "The Alpha's somehow found out about us, maybe because Charlotte didn't call herself Jasmine, but the Alpha killed her and I barely escaped." He pushed out after getting his breath. "They didn't follow me as I flew off though." Jasmine growled at the boy and he glanced at her with nervousness, then he looked back at Grimmel. "Very well, you will train up and prepare for the battle. Put Jasmine back in her cell, Hiccup come with me." Grimmel said and Hiccup was shoved towards Grimmel while Jasmine was taken to a cell where she had her hands chained to each other and then to the ground.

Hiccup was pulled into Grimmel's room with Aiden and was held by two guards. Grimmel put him in the drug and Aiden watched in shock as the young chief was controlled again. "So it does work on people? Or just people who love dragons?" He asked. "It works on people and dragons. Now tell me what you learnt on that trip." Aiden gulped. "I didn't learn anything more Grimmel, the Light Fury attacked Charlotte as soon as we landed, and the Berkians tried to stop them but the Light Fury killed Charlotte and then glared at me, I started running and she chased me but I changed and flew off. If I stayed I would've died and then couldn't have gotten anything back for you. And if they have battle plans, they were not visible when I landed." Aiden said nervously and Grimmel leant back. "Very well, you may go and try to see if you can spot them or not. Dismissed." Grimmel said and waved his hand. Aiden stood up, nodded and then walked out the door, worry fro the young chief growing, but he pushed it down so no one would see it. Aiden! Aiden jumped a bit when he opened his mind to mind link with Toothless. Alpha, I saw Hiccup! Grimmel injected something into him and his eyes went a purple colour. Aiden thought and it flowed to Toothless as he lay on his bed. HE DID WHAT?! Aiden blocked him out for a moment at that comment to let his headache settle, his Alpha was in obvious distress for the safety of his rider, and he had just given the young boy a headache by shouting into the mind link.

Grimmel watched as the young chief trained before turning and heading to the cell, grabbing Jasmine. She glared at him and growled, and she got more hostile by the moment. He hadn't used the drug on her because he knew it wouldn't work, a human with a dragon soul couldn't be controlled by the drug, it had to be a special drug which only a dragon lover tribe had access to as they were entrusted by the creators to not put it in bad use, it was only unless dragon souls had been driven insane and then they were given the drug where they could speak and think, but were kept in there until they were sane again. So that was out of option. Grimmel scowled, he wanted to kill this girl so bad, he wanted to kill her with every inch of his body, but that would earn him a plasma blast from far away. And he had to kill her Dragon Soul, otherwise if he kill her human part, she would still live as a dragon. He dragged Jasmine into a dragon proof cage while she spat in his face. "You are going to be the bait for the battle that will come." Grimmel said before he slammed the door shut and locked it. "Get her ready, we will have a battle soon, and we will win." Was the last thing Grimmel said before a flash came from behind him. Grimmel turned to see an angry female Night Light standing in the cage readying a massive blast. She was going to try kill herself, and without her, the Alpha wouldn't be easy to fool. He raced up and opened the door, narrowly missing a blast that blew up the wall behind him. He turned to find her walking out of her cage and then growling, Grimmel cursed under her breath and went up to her grudgingly. She immediately started snarling but didn't move as her tail was stuck. "Aiden!" He called and the boy came down the stone steps and rushed into the cave, narrowly missing the burnt wall where Jasmine fired. He gaped at the destruction and at the snarling dragon that was more than ready to fire another shot. "Yes Grimmel?" He asked and Jasmine turned to him, keeping her eyes on Grimmel, and listened to my movements. "Get this dragon calm. You know her so find her weakness." He grumbled then walked out, cursing. Jasmine watched him till he was gone, then her eyes flicked to me. Her upright ears went flat against her head and she let out a deadly snarl, rage and murder dancing in her green eyes. Aiden stood where he was, not knowing what to do, hoping that if he stayed still her dragon instincts would kick in and she'd calm a little. 

After waiting Jasmine's Dragon half took over and she growled, less threatening but kept her guard up. He stood still as she circled him, fear was settling deep inside the boy as the angry dragon circled him. He knew she could kill him, but she was refusing, and then he realised that she must've smelt the Alpha's scent on him. She dropped her guard but was still cautious, and transformed back into her human form, her ice blue eyes glaring into his dark brown ones. "Why is the Alpha's scent on you?" She ran up and pushed him against the wall, fire blazed in her eyes. "I can't tell you but I can say that you have to play along for now." He whisper-choked out and the rage left her eyes, but anger and fear of being taken off guard kept her tense. "What do you mean? Are they going to attack soon?" She asked and suddenly transformed into her dragon form and fired a blast over to the roof, creating a hole, but she didn't leave. A face peeked over it and fired something. "Boy, move!" Jasmine said and Aiden leapt to the side to avoid the spine and fire of two dragons at the roof. Followed by screams and shouts of the men. Jasmine's eyes widened and she started to fly only to be shot down by a bola, she roared in distress and Aiden looked at see Grimmel with a launcher, smirking at her. "Good job distracting her Aiden, now they'll have to come for her." He said and Aiden nodded, forcing himself to grin. "You are dismissed, go to your room Aiden." Grimmel said and Aiden nodded, running out of the cave into his room and lying on the bed. "I'm sorry Jasmine, but we must both play along if we want to survive this." He whispered, speaking to the empty rooms, Jasmine's distress roar still burning in his mind.
