Second Person POV

You and the riders fly information while following a convoy of three ships, Nyra and Toothless upfront as you look at the ship in detail. Recognizing that the ships were in a tight formation you look to Hiccup.

"Hey, those ships are in tight formation." You tell him, causing the boy to look at you sceptically before sighting a sea stack up ahead.

"Are you sure?" He asks while getting out his spyglass.

"I bet ten mackerel on it." You answer with a smirk, causing Hiccup to shake his head with a smile as Toothless, Nyra and Mischief land on the sea stack. Everyone else follows, except for Snotlout as he didn't want to land.

"What are we landing for? They're pulling away. Hookfang, come on." Snotlout says to the Nightmare, who was about to take off but Hiccup holds up his hand to signal not to.

"No, there's too many. And they're sailing in tight formation." Hiccup explains while looking up at his cousin as everyone walks over, Hiccup looks at you as you give him a knowing look.

"Fine, I'll give you the ten when we get back to the edge." He sighs, causing you to punch the air silently with a victorious expression.

"I'll show you a tight formation." Snotlout rumbles to himself as Hookfang lands, Snotlout hops off Hookfang and walks over as Nyra keeps you on her back.

"Hiccup's right. We'll never be able to approach that convoy without being spotted first." Fishlegs agrees as Astrid walks up to his side.

"We need a distraction." She says to the group as Hiccup gets off Toothless and walks over to his saddlebag.

"Leave that to us." Hiccup replies while grabbing out a tail fin, causing you to raise a brow.

'How on Earth did he fit that in there?' You ask yourself, concluding that he's Hiccup and you shouldn't question it.

"Hiccup! This no time to play dress-up." Snotlout yells at him in frustration.

"And how can you even think of wearing yellow after Snoggletog? That, my friend, is a fashion faux pas." Tuff comments, snapping his fingers three times in the end before pulling a pose.

"Ugghh. How gauche!" Ruff adds on while also pulling a pose. Hiccup then puts the tail fin on Toothless quickly, once he was done he puts the signature red tail fin in his saddlebag.

"This one is lighter and stiffer. It's made of a thin sheet of Gronckle Iron. It's not great for long-distance flying but..." Hiccup explains as Toothless looks at the tail fin excitedly while sniffing it.

"The added stability will allow you to fly along the water surface without using any wing-flap. It's ingenious!" Fishlegs finishes excitedly.

"Exactly, Fishlegs. We're gonna glide in right under their sightline." Hiccup tells us as he gets onto the saddle.

"Watch for my signal!" He calls out before Toothless jumps off the sea stack.

As you all watch Toothless and Hiccup from the backs of the dragons, you see that the yellow doesn't go with Toothless' black scales as they also had a slight blue tint to them. But that was fading out as he grows older.

"Honestly, I would have stuck with the red. Yellow with Night Fury black? Really? Puh-lease!" Tuff stated dramatically, getting onto Belch as he does.

You all watch as Toothless glides under the sightlines of the ships, not a Hunter aware of what was happening. After another few seconds, you see Toothless fly up, into the sightlines, and fire at the deck.
