52. Is it a Trick? P2

Talulahh's POV:

Copper followed Viggo around curiously as he paced. The rest of us watched him carefully. "I don't trust the guy." I announced.

"You don't trust anyone." Snotlout shot back. I rolled my eyes and made a face at him.

"He'd actually be pretty fun to hang with. I mean, if he weren't trying to kill us." Tuff shrugged.

"You gotta love the way he talks." Ruffnut laughed.

"I'm with Talulahh." Fishlegs decided. "This is all just one big game to him."

"Ryker is coming to try to wipe us all out along with his brother." Astrid spoke up. "Are we really gonna take any chances with Viggo here?"

Elodie giggled, now playing with Copper.

Hiccup glanced at her before setting his attention back onto us. "You guys are right. I got this."

"Hiccup, you must reconsider." Viggo begged as Astrid shoved him into a cell.

"Can I please stay with him?" Elodie gasped.

"By all means, go ahead." Snotlout scoffed.

"Viggo, I'm sorry. There's just too much bad blood for us to trust that you'll do anything but try to, well, you know..." Hiccup trailed off.

Viggo grabbed the bars of the cell. "And the Dragon Eye's return, it did nothing to assuage your concerns?"

"Not enough." Astrid replied.

"Ryker will attack this island with my Shellfire dragon. I'm afraid he won't stop until all of you are, well, you know..." Viggo told us.

"And isn't that the same Shellfire dragon you were planning to attack us will until we were all, well, you know..." I crossed my arms over my chest.

Viggo tried to convince us (again). "I could be of considerable assistance in helping you defend your home if you would allow me."

"We'll take that under advisement." Astrid told him, which was basically code for 'stop asking'.

"They're here!" Tuff ran in. "Well, I mean, not here exactly, but very soon.Soon they will be here. I think we might need to start getting ready."

"Translation, Ruff?" Hiccup frowned.

"Dragon Hunters. Multiple ships headed this way." The girl said.

"Make sure they don't try to escape." Hiccup instructed.

Astrid, Hiccup, and I then flew off.

"Alright, gang. We have until dawn. They'll be in range by then." Hiccup talked to all of us (except for the twins).

"Hiccup, I had a thought." Snotlout spoke up.

"That's a rare occurrence." I muttered under my breath, louder than I had intended.

"Okay, follow me on this. Come along for the ride. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not completely attached to this place, right?  Let it burn to the ground. I mean, it's been fun. Great views. But is it worth dying ove? That's what you have to ask yourself. All right, let's take a vote. Anyone?" Snotlout raised his hand.

"You can't be serious." Dahlia frowned.

"Snotlout, if we don't stop them here, where do you thunk they're gonna go next?" Hiccup asked.

"Uh.."

"Berk." I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Berk, Berk, Berk." Snotlout nodded confidently.
