A few hours later.
"I have a good feeling about this island," Fishlegs excitedly said.
"That's what you said about the last five islands!" Snotlout shouted.
"Isn't my fault. I'm an optimist guy. I'm a "yak bladder half full" kind of guy," Fishlegs said.
"I don't mean to burst your yak bladder, but does anyone consider what will we're gonna do if we actually find this Razorwhip?" Astrid asked.
"You can marry it," Tuff replied.
"And what if Dagur's riding it?" Astrid joked.
"Well, then Ruffnut can have him. It will be complicated, but I will one day learn to love him as my own," Tuff said.
"Um, Tuffnut..." Astrid started.
"Like a little babe, a child that I carry in my arms. But he's too heavy," Tuff continued.
"I wouldn't worry about them babe. They're idiots. But me and you however..." Snotlout said.
"Don't even say it, Snotlout, or I'm pulling you off Hookfang," Astrid said.
"Okay, shutting up," Snotlout said.
"Guys, focus," Hiccup said.
"Yeah. My bride could be on that island," Tuff said.
"Speaking of the island, there's smoke!" Hiccup shouted.
"That means a campfire," Astrid said.
"This dragon builds campfires?" Ruff asked.
"Hiccup, please give me the "Twins serve a purpose" speech again. Quickly?" Astrid asked.
"Yeah! I've only heard the "Twins are muttonheads" speech, which is also very good," Tuff said.
"Okay," Hiccup said.
"Okay, or you don't have to?" Ruff asked.
"I'm not giving a speech?" Hiccup shouted before flying on.
On the island.
"There's a lot of gold here," Snotlout said.
"It could be the loot from the ship," Astrid suggested.
"And these gashes look familiar," Fishlegs said.
"Alright, gang, let's split up and search the island for our rogue rider and his Razorwhip._He can't be far away. Fishlegs, you and Meatlug stay here, signal if they come back," Hiccup ordered.
"You got it," Fishlegs said.
A few minutes later
"This isn't weird at all Stormfly, is it?" Astrid asked walking through part a forest.
"Why didn't Hiccup assign someone or himself to help because we could miss something. Hey! Where are you going?" she asked running after her dragon.
"Tracks? They look pretty fresh. Stay sharp, Stormfly," Astrid said before rustling came from the bushes. Stormfly ran over to investigate.
"Not again. Stormfly come here."
They were lead over to an opening in a cliff.
"Is that... chicken?" she asked.
Rocks started to fall behind her and a silver spiky tail could be seen.
"Hey! Stormfly, fire and try not to hit me," Astrid said running behind her.
30 minutes later
Astrid came up to where they landed to see a soaked Snotlout trying to get Fishlegs out of a tree.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I was left to dangle here," Fishlegs said.
"And I was rolled into a river when nature was calling. What about you?" Snotlout asked.
"Trapped in a cliff because Stormfly got distracted by chicken," she explained.
"There's a logical explanation for that," Hiccup said landing with the Razorwhip behind him.
"Hiccup, you do that there is a..." Fishlegs said.
"Yes, I do. Everyone meet Heather," Hiccup said gesturing over to the Razorwhip.
"Heather?" Astrid asked.
"How could you roll me into a river?!" Snotlout screamed.
"And trap me in a cave!" Astrid shouted.
"You left me dangling in a tree!" Fishlegs exclaimed.
"And I have to admit, the chicken move brought back some memories," Astrid said.
"Now would be the time for that really good reason," Hiccup said to Heather.
"Look. I've been living on my own out here for years and I made more than few enemies.
I didn't want you guys to be involved. I needed to send you back to Berk," she explained.
"You couldn't have just, I don't know, said that?" Snotlout asked.
"Would you have listened?" Heather added.
"She does have a point. We're pretty stubborn group," Astrid said.
"I don't listen to anyone!" Snotlout exclaimed.
"Whatever problems you have, whatever enemies you've made, we can help. You don't have to be out here alone anymore," Hiccup said.
"Hiccup, please, just let this go," Heather said.
"We have a base not far from here. Why don't you come back with us? Nothing permanent. We'll get you some provisions and catch up. You can see how you like it," Hiccup suggested.
"Ruff what happened to your brother?" Astrid asked.
"I don't know. I woke up on top of him," Ruff answered.
"Maybe you fell on top of him," Fishlegs said.
"Yeah right, like I would fall onto somebody, " Ruff sarcastically said.
"Whoa. Razorwhip. This is the best dream ever. Like I can reach out and touch it. I can reach out and touch it! Cold, scaly.
I, Tuffnut Thorston, take thee, Razorwhip, whatever your last name is, insert it here, to be my... Oh, hey, Heather. And what are you doing in my dream? At my wedding. I didn't put you on the list," Tuff said.
"You're not dreaming, Tuff," Heather replied.
"Oh! Well, in that case, Razorwhip attack! Run!" Tuff yelled.
"I see nothing has changed," Heather said.
"Same story, different year," Astrid said.
"Let's head over to Dragon's Edge," Hiccup suggested.
"He's never gonna give up, right?" Heather asked.
"Not likely. Remember it's Hiccup," Astrid said.
"What do you mean by that, Astrid?" Hiccup asked.
"Okay, Dragon's Edge it is," Heather said.
Later
Dragon's Edge
"Wait, where did you find her?" Tuff asked.
"More importantly, can we ride it?" Ruff asked.
"Did you miss me? I think you did. That's why you threw that tree at me. Isn't it?" Snotlout asked.
"Never mind him. How did you train a Razorwhip? It's incredible!" Fishlegs squealed.
"Actually, I owe a lot to you, guys," Heather said.
"To us?" Hiccup asked.
"To me. She meant to me.
I mean, how much more obvious can she be? Ahh, women.
I totally understand them. Okay, great. Check you later!" Snotlout shouted.
"When I found Windshear..." Heather started.
"Awesome name!" Ruff said.
"Yeah, I bet you ride like the wind, shearing through it!
Get it? I used both of the words in its name to explain why he's called that," Tuff said..
"Oh, gods. Guys, shut it," Astrid said.
"Anyway, when I found her, she'd been hurt in a fight with a Typhoomerang. Windshear held her own. Didn't you, girl? But she needed to be nursed back to health. Then when she was better, I used the training you guys taught me on Berk.
We've become the perfect team. We're unstoppable. I mean, look at her! No one can take us down.
And if they try, they'll be sorry for it," Heather explained.
"I guess she's pretty cool, but not as cool as this. Hookfang, flame up!" Snotlout yelled and Hookfang flew away.
"That's cute. Windshear, tail slice!" Heather said.
"Ha! What's so great about..." Snotlout started before falling threw the floor. "Okay, we'll call it a draw."
"What else can she do?" Fishlegs curiously asked.
"Her breath can burn the flesh off a human from 100 feet away," Heather said thinking.
"You're gonna get me outta here, right?" Snotlout asked.
"One single blade of her tail is as deadly as the sharpest battle-ax," Heather continued.
"And the poison breath is real, right?" Tuff asked.
"Yes, Tuff it's real," Heather said.
The twins ran over to ask Heather questions while Fishlegs and Snotlout started arguing.
"Great having Heather back. She's so... I don't know, intense, hardcore. I love it!" Astrid exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's great. She's definitely grown up since the last time we saw her," Hiccup disappointedly said.
"Hiccup, it's been three years.
We were just kids. We've all grown up. Well, most of us," Astrid said.
"Yeah, but she was so sweet, and now she's so... I don't know.".
"Edgy? What's wrong with that? I like it."
"Astrid, there's edgy and then there's destroying ships.
Which I still need to ask her about."
"Well, do me a favor and wait until after I ask her about her battle-ax. I want her to show me how to make one for myself."
"What are they doing?" Hiccup said pointing to the twins with maces.
"Let's do this!" Tuff shouted running at Heather with his mace.
"Come on! Is that all you got?" Heather asked.
"See? Hardcore," Astrid said running with her ax.
A few hours later
"What were you talking about earlier? The whole made some enemies thing?" Astrid asked Heather walling through the forest.
"That? It's a long story."
"Really? I have time to hear it."
"Astrid, there are things that I wouldn't like to share."
"Like why you sunk those ships? Has Hiccup already questioned you about that?"
"He has. He was shocked to find out that this is the new me. I don't know how to explain it but..."
"Don't worry. I get it. Hiccup was shocked when he met me. I'm from a different part of the archipelago, the part that's forbidden, and when Hiccup first saw me... I could see the fear in his eyes. At first I didn't understand why but now... now I know."
"Sounds rough."
"It was. I didn't make friends easily. It was only when I was 15 that I became friends with the others."
"Astrid, can I trust you with a secret?"
"Yeah. If you keep one of mine."
"A secret for a secret."
"Just to make sure no one stabs the other in the back."
"Me and a few... friends have decided to play about with... certain people."
"Would those people be the riders?"
"Could be. We have an agreement. What ever crazy things I do, know that it's an act. So what's yours?"
"I'm dating Dagur the Deranged."
"What?!"
"Don't freak out. He started the relationship."
"Astrid. Oh my Thor. Does the other riders know?"
"No. Hiccup would freak out and tell his dad."
"Your secret is safe with me."
"As is yours with me."
