Selene's POV
It was night here on Berk, I was trying to sleep when I heard Toothless muttering next door. I got up with Crystal and went to see what was wrong. "Why is it here now!?" I patted his head but, he just kept pacing. "Toothless go to sleep." Hiccup must've been really out of it to not notice me. Crystal nudged me back to our room. "What is up with Toothless?" I asked her and she just shrugged her shoulders. We finally fell asleep, but we're woken up by someone shaking us. I opened my eyes to see Hiccup. "You got to see this!" Judging by the tone of his voice, is pretty serious. We ran outside and saw a huge hole in the plaza.

"This looks familiar." Crystal was right. Our friend Sordan was a Whispering Death and these look like the holes he digs. "It's him!" Toothless said and started to panic a little. "Whoa, he. Come on. Is just a hole bud." Hiccup reassured his friend, but before I could get a word in, Bucket's voice rang. "It's not just a hole!" We looked down and saw Bucket?! "It's like an underground village!" Mulch then came up next to me and was relieved to see his friend. "Bucket. Oh, there you are. I was looking for you all night." Bucket apologized and said he found a happy place. "Not for long." Crystal muttered and she was right, Bucket was flung out of the hole and landed a good few feet away from us. We ran over to see if he was ok.

"Are you all right, Bucket?" Stoick asked and Bucket shook his head. "Not so happy anymore." Bucket looked up at us. "What happened?" Stoick asked. "Something pushed me out." Bucket told the chief and he stood up. "Something's down there. Something big."" Toothless growled then leaped into the hole. "Toothless!" Crystal and I jumped in after him. "Why are you two here?" Toothless asked with a little hostility in his voice. "We want to help." Crystal told him and we wandered around for a while, then we heard a roar from above ground. "We better get up there!" I yelled and we ran towards the entrance and saw the Whispering Death. Before Crystal and I could go after it, Toothless roared at us. "No! He is mine!" All the other dragons backed off too.

"What is Toothless doing?" Snotlout asked. "I think he wants us to back off." Astrid concluded and Fishlegs complied with no problem. The Whispering Death and Toothless seemed to be on a staring contest. "Toothless!" Hiccup yelled in concern for his best friend. Soon, Toothless and the Whispering Death were wrestling trying to over power each other. Toothless fired a few plasma blasts but the Whispering Death dodged them. Toothless growled and tried to fly, but couldn't. The Whispering Death saw that. "Poor thing, can't get off the ground?" The Whispering Death was taunting Toothless. "I've had enough of this guy. Crystal fly me up." She nodded and she flew us up and got me above the Whispering Death's head. "You sure about this? Last time you wrestled one of these guys, you went flying into the ocean." I nodded my head. "Don't have a choice here."

I then jumped off Crystal and landed right on the dragon's head. "Get off me, human!!" The Whispering Death tried to shake me off, but I got a good grip on his horns. "Selene what are you doing!?" Hiccup yelled at me. "Wrestling!!" I yelled back, I managed to find a nerve and touched it, it went numb so I was able to jump down with the horns and it crashed into the earth, but it got right back up. Toothless then knocked Hiccup away and ran. "Toothless? W-what's wrong?" Toothless just roared at Hiccup. Stay out of it!" Astrid ran over to us and asked what just happened. "I have no idea." Hiccup told her. "He said stay out of it." I translated for them. The Whispering Death launched some spike and one hit Toothless on a leg! "Gobber!" Stoick yelled and a Boulder hit it, then the sun started to come out and it dove underground and headed for the forest.

"Coward." Crystal muttered. Toothless made sure it left, and Hiccup ran over to see the spike in Toothless's leg. "Oh, no. You're hurt." Hiccup went to remove the spike, but Toothless growled, but stopped when he saw his rider. Hiccup walked up and grabbed the spike and gave Toothless a nod and pulled it out. I was about to treat it, but Toothless took off. "Toothless, wait!" But the dragon ignored Hiccup. All the other riders ran towards us. Astrid asked where he was going and Snotlout joked about how he went to lick his wounds. "Not funny Snotlout. Toothless could've been killed! He can't fly." Hiccup told the boy. "And whose fault is that?" I then upper cut his jaw and he fell backwards. Astrid gave me a fist bump. "I'm, does anybody else want to talk about what in the name of Thor just happened?" Fishlegs asked with panic laced in his voice. Tuffnut tapped his shoulder. "Uh, dragon fight. Just another day on Berk." I shook my head. "No. The Whispering Death singled Toothless out and Toothless didn't let any of us help him." I told the riders.
