Over the land of Berk, the teens of Dragon Flight Club were doing night flight training. None of the teens liked the idea of missing sleep, especially the dragons who were the ones flying. Hiccup thought it would be a good idea for them to practice staying awake at night when needed.

"How much longer?" asked a drowsy Fishlegs.

"About five more hours." Hiccup said which received him a tiring groan from the others. "Come one guys, it's not that bad."

"Speak for yourself. You're riding a dragon that's made for night. It's in the name." Astrid said with irritation in her voice. She then heard snoring behind her and saw the twins sleeping siting up.

"Astrid, you mind?"

"On it." She said and flew behind the twins and receiving them a pinch on each of their necks. The twins screamed and woke up from the pain that was on their skin.

"Will you quite doing that?!" cried Tuffnut rubbing his now painful neck.

"Then stop falling asleep."

"Guys, stop fighting. I would like to go through one training session with no fighting," said Hiccup turning his head to see the others.

"You expect us to not get irritated with each other, while we're tired and cranky?" Snotlout hollered at his cousin for making him miss sleep.

Hiccup sighed and started to think. "Okay guys. Let's take a break." The other teens sighed in relief.

"But, we will continue it tomorrow night."

"What?!"

"Oh come on!"

"Really?!"

~oOo~

The teens found an open area for a campsite. They each got stones and wood to build a fire, and then started to lie down to sleep.

Everything was fine until Fishlegs heard a noise. Fishlegs opened his eyes and looked around, only able to see what the fire was giving off.

"Meatlug, Meatlug, time to wake up." The boy said with a whisper in his voice.

The Gronckle moved her head away, not wanting to be disturbed by her rider. Fishlegs saw how Meatlug wanted to sleep, the boy decided to sleep closer to his dragon with fear rising.

~oOo~

"Are we there yet, Alvin?" Savage asked getting weak from all the walking they did trying to get to Berk.

"Almost Savage, less than five hours, we will attack Berk. I'll finally show Stoick whose the real chief."

"Alvin, there's a campfire smoke building over there." Said one of the soldiers who pointing at the smoke stack over the trees.

"Well, so there is. I want you two to look at who's over there and give me the status report." Alvin said and watched two of his Soldiers going to the campsite.

~oOo~

Fishlegs kept hearing footsteps through the rustlings leaves and sticks cracking. He started to panic and walked to Hiccup. He tapped Hiccup's shoulder trying to wake him up.

"What?" Hiccup said drowsily trying to get his eyes to focus.

"I think someone is in the woods with us." Fishlegs whispered with fright in his voice.

Hiccup rolled his eyes and pulled himself off the dirt floor. "Fishlegs, it's four in the morning. I doubt that there are more people in—" Hiccup stopped when he heard voices.

"You believe me now?" Fishlegs said making his voice go high with terror.

"Okay, help me wake up the rest of the guys."

~oOo~

The two soldiers were getting close to the campsite, and then saw the flame of the fire go out. The two Soldiers stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.

"Now what?"

"Let's keeping looking, I don't want Alvin to be mad at us for coming back with no information."

The soldiers walked until they saw the abandoned campsite. One of the soldiers walked to the pit and touched the ash. He pulled his hand back once his skin made contact with the heat.

"It's still hot."

"What did you expect? We saw the light go out. Just like the one in your head."

"Are you calling me stupid?"

"Well, I'm not calling you smart!"

Right above them, the teens were hiding in the trees waiting for the Soldiers to leave. Hiccup looked down carefully at the two men, and saw that they were Outcast Soldiers.

Hiccup heard a scraping noise by his side and saw Tuffnut's foot sliding off the branch. Hiccup mouthed the words "don't fall". He mostly was saying that to himself more than to Tuffnut.

Ruffnut saw her brother's foot sliding off the branch and grabbed his arm. Unfortunately, Tuffnut's weight brought both of them to the ground. Hiccup smacked himself in the face when the twins landed between the bickering soldiers.

"Hello." The twins said right before they got taken off the ground. Barf and Belch then sprayed gas and sparked at the soldiers taking their riders. The soldiers ran to Alvin with the twins swung over their shoulders. Hiccup and the others got on their dragons ready to attack. Toothless then shot plasma at them, the pressure of the blast made the soldiers fall to the ground and groped the twins. Ruff and Tuff saw their dragon flying low to them. Quickly, they rode on their dragon and started to fly away from the woods.

~oOo~

The soldiers ran to Alvin yelling "The dragon trainers are here! They're flying away towards Berk!" Alvin and his band of outcast heard them, they each took at their weapons and started to follow the dragons in the air.

Each of them shot arrows at the dragons and their riders. All of them were trying to dodge the arrows, but it was too dark to see.

Toothless kept shooting at The Outcast. Unfortunately, one of the arrows went right through Toothless' artificial tail. None of the teens saw it because their dragons were getting the approaching soldiers from behind.

"TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup cried in fear feeling his stomach flip when he saw the ground getting closer. Once they met the dirt floor, Alvin grabbed Hiccup's arms and saw Savage and the soldiers crushing Toothless' face to the ground.

Astrid heard Hiccup yell, then saw the scene below her; she felt fear and anger filling her body. "Stormfly, spine shot!"

Obeying her rider, she shot the soldiers who taking her co-trainer and his dragon. The spins got close to all of them, but avoided the hostages.

"Shot her down!" Alvin hollered pointing at Astrid. Savage picked up a crossbow and tried to shoot at them. Stormfly dogged all but one; an arrow cut Astrid's bicep leaving blood all over her arm and hand covering the injured arm. Astrid grunted and looked at the bloody arm. Hearing her rider in pain, Stormfly hesitantly left Hiccup and Toothless to get Astrid to safety.

"Stormfly, what are you doing?! We have to turn around!" Astrid cried turning her head to see Hiccup and Toothless being captured. Stormfly knew what her rider wanted, but it was her job to protect Astrid.

Stormfly found and flew to the the other dragons and their rider who were leaving the scene. The riders saw the bloody mess on Astrid's arm when they turned around.

"Astrid, what happen?" Fishlegs asked referring to her arm and the absents of Hiccup and Toothless.

"They took Hiccup and Toothless. We have to go back."

"Astrid, you need to go back to Berk. You are physically unable to fight. You're losing too much blood." Fishlegs stated seeing Astrid's color leaving her. Astrid couldn't argue with him. She knew she wouldn't make it if she followed The Outcast boat.

"Lets get you to the healer. We'll just go back to Outcast Island once you're good and ready." Fishlegs stated.

"No, you guys go get a head start to Outcast Island. I'll go back to Berk, and catch up with you guys."

The riders look at Astrid and all nodded in agreement and heading towards Outcast Island with Astrid going the opposite direction.

~oOo~

Alvin handcuffed Hiccup and changed Toothless on their boat. They attached Hiccup on one of Toothless' chain.

"I bet you're wondering why I'm putting you on my ship." Alvin said with confidence in his voice. Hiccup rolled his eyes looking up at the Outcast Leader.

"Eh, not really. You hate my father, me, and pretty much all of Berk. I bet you are using me to get to my father to come, and then fight him, blah blah blah. Then I go back to Berk. Then this starts all over again." Hiccup said using his sarcasm to get Alvin irritated.

"Yes, but what your father doesn't know is that we're not going to Outcast Island."

Those simple words just ruined Hiccup's chance of getting out The Outcast's clutches.
