3rd Person POV

The Dragon Trappers' ship sails through the icy waters. 

"Keep your eyes peeled, lads!" Eret stated to the men, as he looks to the horizon. 

"With this wind we'll reach Drago by daybreak. So we best fill this ship up with dragons and quick!" Eret stated as he walked down the deck with concern on his face and sighed deeply. 

"It's no time to be picky!" Eret stated as one of his men looks to the sky. 

"Uh....Eret?" The trapper asked, still looking up at the sky.  

"Not if we want to keep our..." Eret said, trailing off as he looks to the sky and his eyes widen at three dragons flying in the distance towards him. 

"Heads!" Eret said, laughing. 

"Off the port quarter!" He shouted. 

The men prepare the ballista, loading them with nets. 

"Net them, lad! Take them down!" Eret ordered. 

Eret readies the ballista with a net to shoot. He squints to see the dragons but his eyes widens at the familiar dragons and their riders. 

"You're not gettin' away this time." He stated, growling as he readies the ballista. 

"Fire!" Eret shouted as nets were launched at the Riders but they dodged them. 

"Reload! Reload! Incoming!" Everyone exclaimed.  

Toothless lands on the ship first with Shadowstryke landing to his left and Stormfly on his right. Astrid equips herself with her axe, ready to battle. Y/n remained calm, knowing what Hiccup has planned.

"And here I was worried we might show up empty handed." Eret smirks, pointing his sword at Hiccup. 

Astrid readies to fight but Hiccup stopped her. 

"Nope. It's your lucky day," Hiccup says, raising his hands in surrender.

"We give up!" Hiccup stated as Eret's smirk falls into a confused frown as he raises a brow, his sword dropping. 

Hiccup gets off Toothless and Astrid hops off Stormfly, albeit still hesitant. 

"That's one Night Fury, one new hybrid species, one Deadly Nadder..." Y/n stated cheerfully, tossing a net onto Astrid and takes her axe. 

"And three of the finest dragon riders west of Luk Tuk." Hiccup finished and shoves the axe to Eret, who stares at him confusion as the three walk past him. 

"That ought to make the boss happy, right?" Hiccup asked. 

Toothless snarls at Eret while Shadowstryke glares at the men, they cower from her gaze.

"What are you doing?" Astrid asked, whispering to Hiccup and Y/n as she enters the cage. 

Y/n gives her a wink and then follows after her. Astrid still confused as to what is happening. 

"Toothless, stay." Hiccup says as he closes the gate. 

Toothless rumbles to him and lightly paws at the cage while Shadowstryke sniffs curiously at it. 

"The dragons don't care for cramped spaces, so they'll just hang out with you." Hiccup called out to the trappers who watch in bewilderment. 

"There shouldn't be any problems." Y/n stated and then the trappers point their weapons at Toothless and Shadowstryke, making them jump in surprise then growl at them with silt pupils.
