Night of the Hunters

Start from the beginning
                                    

Dear sister,

If you're reading this, that means you've found a dragon hunter drop off. I've tried to leave clues for you and your fellow dragon riders to follow. I've infiltrated the Dragon Hunters ranks, trying to free dragons. Head to the Reaper and look for a shield with two eyes.
Love your little sister, Lillian

I was now crying, I have a little sister. "What is it, love?" Hiccup asked me with worry in his voice. "I have a little sister," I revealed to them. "What? That's great!" Hiccup cheered as he hugged me tightly. "And she's infiltrated the Dragon Hunters. She left behind this clue," I handed the parchment to Hiccup, tears continuing to cascade down my face. "Well gang, looks like we're heading to the Graveyard of Ships." And that's where we headed. Once we got there, we all flew towards the Reaper. "My sister said, look for a shield with two eyes," I reminded the riders as we searched all over the Reaper. Astrid, Hiccup and I were now in the captain's quarters. "There's nothing here!" Astrid shouted. "We'll find that shield, Astrid," I tried reassuring the girl, but failed. Astrid then went on a mini rant about if we couldn't find them. "Astrid, we have to try to stay positive," Hiccup told the girl. "You two didn't see Ryker. He actually enjoys hunting and caging dragons and he has mine!" Astrid screamed as she swung her axe into a shield. "We're gonna find her and rescue her and all the other dragons too, I promise," I told Astrid, but then noticed the shield she destroyed. "Hang on," I muttered and walked over and saw it was a Changewing shield and an eye with a lens. "Dragon Eye lens," I spoke and then looked back at the shield. "And I know just the dragon we need to get it to work," I smiled. We gathered the rest of the riders and flew towards Dracom Island. Once we got there, I saw Thunderstream. "Mom!" I shouted with joy as Crystal ran towards her with me on her back still. "My babies!" Mom cried out and we all hugged each other. "What brings you and your friends here?" Mom asked us. "Dragon Hunters took Stormfly. We found a Dragon Eye lens on the Reaper, a Dragon Hunter ship that crashed long ago. We realized we need Changewing acid to activate it," I filled my mother in. Her eyes narrowed and she growled when I mentioned Dragon Hunters. "I'll do anything I can to help you out. Follow me, Camo and his mother are this way," Thunderstream started to guide us towards the nesting grounds, which is in the middle of the island. Once we arrived, I saw Amber and Camo. "Hey, you two," I cheered as I got off Crystal and ran towards them. The Changewing mother and son saw me and smiles adorned their faces. "What a great surprise!" Amber cried and wrapped her neck around my body, giving me a hug. Camo crashed into Crystal and the two started to roughhouse a bit. "What are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be with your dragon rider friends?" Amber asked, then she saw the other riders behind us. "What happened?" She asked and I filled her in on the Dragon Hunters and new Dragon Eye lens. "Of course I'll help," Amber purred. I smiled at her, then realized, "I don't have my Changewing acid proof bowl." I heard a shout from Snotlout and saw that Astrid had taken his helmet and walked over to us. "Thanks," I thanked the girl. I could tell she was still really scared for Stormfly and Camo must've sensed it too. He stoped playing with Crystal and walked over and began to nuzzled against Astrid's leg. The girl smiled and patted the little guy's head. "Thanks, Camo. I appreciate the love," Astrid thanked the little dragon.

Astrid then put the helmet in front of Amber and she spat on it. "Perfect," I smiled and saw that Hiccup was walking over with the Dragon Eye. "Let's head to a cave first, then we can see the light better," I suggested and we all headed towards Thunderstream's cave. Once we got there, Hiccup put the Dragon Eye in front of Snotlout's helmet and it lit up! It displayed a map. "This doesn't help, we've seen this map before," Fishlegs told us. "It must be a hunter port. It's the closest to the beach where Stormfly was captured," Hiccup commented. "That could be where they're heading. But, after that, who knows where?" I commented. "Then we have to hurry!" Astrid spoke with order and concern. "Yes, please. Let's hurry!" Snotlout shouted and grabbed his helmet. "You might wanna wash it first," I chuckled and heard Amber chuckle too. I then saw mom enter the cave. "I'll warn all the sentry dragons to be on lookout, just in case those grimy hunters try to get close." I smiled and hugged her. "Be careful, mom. They have Dragon Root arrows. They can immobilize a dragon's flight," I warned my adoptive mother. She just smiled at me. "Speaking of dragon root arrows, how are we gonna avoid them?" Fishlegs stated a good question. "Funny you should ask, Fishlegs. For my plan to work, someone's gonna have to get shot," Hiccup smiled at the last part. I then realized he was referring to Mealtug's immune to the dragon root. Fishlegs realized it too and started to whimper. "Yeah! Looks like we're up!" Tuff cheered and high-fired his twin, not realizing he was talking about Fishlegs and Meatlug. After our goodbyes, we all flew out towards the sea, hoping to the find the Dragon Hunters, and luckily, we found them. Toothless and Crystal dove down first, and both fired a Plasma Blast at the ships. "I'm here for my dragon!" Astrid roared with anger as a bald man who I'm guessing is Ryker. "A Night Fury and a different one too!" Ryker smiled maliciously. Barf and Belch along with Hookfang dove down and began firing at the ships. Crystal was maneuvering through some Dragon Root arrows, and nearly hit her, but luckily Astrid blocked it with her axe. Toothless flew over next to us. "You sure this is gonna work, love? That was too close for comfort," I told him. "No kidding!" Crystal roared. He just smiled and called Fishlegs over. Fishlegs just smiled and patted Meatlug. "Ok, girl. Let's give it all we got!" Then proceeded to shout a war cry as they dove at the main ship. Meatlug released a lava blast, then flew away a bit, trying to lure the dragon hunters. Mutiple dragon hunters fired their arrows and one did hit Meatlug. "We're hit! We're hit!" Fishlegs cried out. Meatlug started to act distorted and the dragon hunters pulled them to the ship with a hook and wench. "They got Fishlegs and Meatlug!" Astrid cried out. The dragons continued to fire at the ships, trying to buy Fishlegs and Meatlug enough time to get Stormfly and any other dragons free. "Fire!" A hunter shouted and I saw a boulder being catapulted at us. "Dive, Crystal!" I shouted and she did, but we barely missed the boulder. Then, I felt a piercing pain in my leg. "Aahh!" I cried out and saw a dragon root arrow hit me. I started to feel woozy and I felt myself starting to slide off Crystal.

3rd POV

Astrid tried grabbing for her best friend, but she slipped off the Light Fury too. "Selene! Astrid! Hiccup cried out and saw that Crystal was diving for both girls. "Dive, bud!" Hiccup told Toothless and the Night Fury dove after the girls. Crystal was able to grab her sister, but when she went for Astrid, the hunters launched a grappling anchor and got Astrid. "No!!" Crystal roared out in worry and brought her sister close to her chest. Toothless stopped under Crystal and the dragon dropped her sister and rider into her lover's arms. Stormfly escaped, but right when things were going good, the hunters fired multiple arrows and hit Hookfang. The twins were hit next and the only ones to escape were Toothless, Hookfang, Crystal and their riders.
