Okay we start with my most hated episode of the riders of Berk; the one where Mildew pulls his, uh, merde. So this is what happens when the people of Berk are a bit smarter and events happen a bit different, one is Toothless, she follows what Hiccup tells her to do a bit more than the one in the show… But let's get to the story!

At dinner my dad and I were talking about what happened, "So Mildew came down and griped about the dragons again." "Well what else is new he uses his visit once a week to do just that."

I finished my bowl of soup, "Well I'm off to bed."

"Wait." My dad takes off his boot, and takes a wiff, "Oh, its boot night." I take on wiff of the smell coming from the boots, ugh. I try to cover my nose, Toothless smells and gives her own disgust over the smell, she give a small roar, 'That stinks!'

I step outside with the boots, I put them down just to the right of the porch letting them air out. I see the other Teens and kids of the other families doing the same for their parents boots.

I stepped inside as I figured that everyone else threw the boots down. Toothless and I walked up stairs where our children were playing. Light was the only one to leave the ball of night furies playing to greet us. '… Daddy!' He nuzzled into my leg, they were about the size of terror now, they had also started shedding scales, Toothless had said they were shedding their milk scales and growing into their kiddy scales. I guess Night furies go through stages. At this time we would have to let them play all day or they would cause havoc at night. "Alright kids it's time for bed."

'Daddy… we …' I am thank for my creativity it let me understand the half sentences. But Toothless was the one to answer, 'Because unless you plan to be awake at night and not see daddy except for a few hours, you need to get ready to sleep, besides I see a bit of a mess right, there.' She started licking the nearest child. She had soon covered them in her saliva, making them all sleepy, She let them cuddle under her wing. I smile and get into my own bed… I had moved it next to hers so that I could be near her… The reason being is that I could no longer sleep next to our children comfortably.

I the morning yells of confusion woke me. "Where are my blasted boots!" I got up, 'Why are they so loud my mate?' "Someone is missing there boots." That wasn't the only yell though. It started echoing through the village.

I walked outside seeing that everyone's boots had disappeared over night. Who would want that much stink? There was only one dragon that I knew that could possibly take that much. But he didn't do this.

Fishlegs found some foot prints, of a zippleback. I didn't think it was a zippleback, too shallow. "There is no way it's a zippleback, look these are only as deep as my feet…

"Well Stoick my boots are missing too, shouldn't we follow these tracks and find out?"

"Mildew you already had your weekly visit."

"Well Stoick how am I to get my footwear back then?"

"Use your sheep's wool."

"Not my Fungus's wool he needs it to stay warm."

"Very well let's follow this path. And Hiccup you are right these are not that deep."

At the arena we found a massive pile of boots. "So here is the thief!"

Many Vikings gave an agreeing roar, "How much of this can we stand Stoick!?"

Gobber answered this, "Ah, my feet are cold. We are Viking everything is cold especially following Snoggletog. Don't you worry I will get your boots back to ya, good as new!"

"Hear that everyone, now go get to work you will receive your boots as soon as possible."

"What no consequence for these dragons?"

"First off, the foot prints are too shallow to be a dragon, next is that not even this dragon can stand the smell of the boots." The case being that the dragon had twisted his heads around away from the pile of boots. "So I believe "someone" did this, and if I find out who, they will pay for it."

Mildew walked off muttering.

"So how can we stop this from happening?" Astrid asked

"Just keep track of your dragon."

"That is all, no special watch for the dragons?"

"Well…"

I gathered the others at the Arena, "So a night patrol to watch dragons huh." Astrid said. "Yeah," I replied. 'But my mate who will watch the children and keep them warm?' I have to disregard her until later.

"So how will this work?"

"Okay so…"

First shift

The teens and I took first watch.

All my flying around gave me the information that dragons slept at night, the only dragons awake at this time were well our dragons…

I saw Snotlout harassing someone. "Snotlout!"

"What?"

"Who is that you are messing with?"

"Me" Gobber stated.

"Snotlout you should know Gobber does a nightly check of his forge, and the storage for the forge!"

"Well he was ignoring the sash."

I facepalm. "Snotlout… oh, where is Hookfang?"

"Uh, I have no idea."

"Great."

I get on toothless and we fly around and find the missing dragon scaring Fishlegs. I smile.

As the hours passed and we reached the end of our shift I took one last look over the village, "Huh, girl dad will be happy to hear that dragons sleep at night."

'Who wouldn't?' She griped

"Sorry my love, but we had to try to give some credit to you because something is going on…"

Next morning

We get called into the great hall. We find it trashed.

"A dragon must have gone on a rampage." My dad said

"It looks like a monstrous nightmare," We hear Fishlegs.

"Uh, Fishlegs last time a monstrous nightmare went on a rampage, it was Hookfang. He left burns in his wake and was chasing Snotlout. Besides where are the wing claw marks? The only claws on a monstrous nightmare are his feet which are under his hide-end, then there are his claws which will even be seen cutting through stone."

"But look at this the spacing is perfect."
"Fishlegs look up." He does, "Do you see any other marks?"

"No, but…"

"Are there any burn marks?"

"No…"

"Enough! Get the dragons to the Arena we have a mess to clean!" My dad shouted.

Half the people in the great hall groaned but went out to take their dragon over there.

At the arena.

"Man this is irritating." Said one of the monstrous nightmare riders.

I had asked all who had a monstrous nightmare, all of them had been accounted for. I was able to account for Hookfang so was it a rouge? No. they normally stay out in the forest or up on the mountain.

After extensive questioning, and many irritated moans I went to take with my dad… Because Toothless and I had to bring our young, we had to walk back to the great hall, by which time it was getting dark.

Okay, so I have to watch our young, I keep them in view the whole time Hiccup is inside talking with his dad. As the day turns to night our young start gathering up next to me for their sleep. After they passed out. I took a quick look around and covered them with my wing… I was just about to sleep when I heard an explosion.

What? I look down into the village and see smoke coming from one of the bigger buildings. All the Vikings exit the Hiccup came to my side right away. Our young started whimpering, 'oh, it is okay little ones.' I lick them till they sleep again. As the last one settles back to sleep, Hiccup asks me, "What happened?"

'I do not know my mate. Me and the little ones were about to sleep when I heard an explosion. Then all of you guys came out.'

"That's the armory!" "Did anyone store their weapons there?"

Hiccup wakes our young they sleepily get onto my back, and pass out again. We go down with everyone with all the water they can carry… Each splash of water made the fire grow. After about two hours the fire had consumed the building. Gobber came and started lamenting the weapons that had been inside.

"Oh they didn't have to die Gobber, if only the dragons had been sent away!" Mildew said.

"So which dragon did this?"

"A monstrous nightmare!"

"Okay a raise of hands who here has a monstrous nightmare?"

No hands went up because all the monstrous nightmare handlers were with their dragons in the arena.

"So they are all being watched. And last time I checked the dragon raids stopped when Hiccup killed the red death. Mildew!"

Mildew had tried to scoot away but was stopped by a few villagers. "You can't kill me Stoick for what a dragon did!"

"If a dragon didn't do it then it was done by someone, and I had all the dragons at the arena that had handlers."

"But what of that dragon?" he pointed to Toothless.

"I have found that Toothless has stayed at my son's side like a steadfast ally, and she was outside the great hall with all her young."

"But she could have shot at the armory!"

"How could she have from up there? There is a long distance, and did anyone see a fire ball come down?"

A lot of no's were said. "So there we have it!"

"But how can you be sure?"

My dad did look a little confused and put off by this response until, "Stoick this is where it started, from what looks like a barrel, full of…" Gobber wiped his hand across the ground on the spot he said. "…oil. That is why it spread instead of went out when we threw water on it."

Dragon fire may have an oil like quality, however is would be put out by water… this explains why and how the fire continued even after water lines were arranged to put out the fire. Someone set this up, and the blame was being put on the one that claimed it was the dragons. A dragon wouldn't know about lamp oil. A dragon wouldn't place a barrel inside a building. Someone did it!

"I believe it was you that did the damage in the great hall. And with the boots!"

"What, what? I'm just an old man!"

"You may be old, but what stops you from doing all those things because we found the damage in the great hall was caused by something made of steel, not a claw. Nor did we find the hook claws of a dragon in the great hall."

"And the boots were torn, I didn't smell drool upon them, so as such I don't think a dragon did that either. Also another factor that I saw was that those foot prints were too light to be done by a few hundred pound dragon. Those foot prints are about as deep as Hiccup's and yours."

"And don't say it was my son, because all those times he was doing what he could to stop these events from happening."

Mildew tried to get away but the angry villagers of Berk stopped him from going anywhere, "But…but I am an old man what will I do?"

"Should have thought of that before you attempted this. I give you a day to get away from here. But first."

Stoick pulled out a knife, turned around Mildew regardless of his protests and carved the mark of a traitor on his back. "AAAAAAAAAAAA" He screamed the entire time. After the mark was finished. He was released. "Now leave Mildew. And never come back!"

Mildew crawled away…

3rd person

In the morning while everyone but two were asleep, a figure could be seen in a boat rowing it away from the island, being followed by a gronckle.

So, Mildew gets banished. But what of Alvin?

Alvin has had some bad luck, his boat doesn't come until later, Gobber fixes a few of the extra weapons, will most of the village is armed one way or another. So yeah Mildew has his current punishment, and the gronckle following, that is his dragon. But being the old dragon hating b *#&$ he is will kill it. Yes because it actually trusts him…

Anyways, leave a review if you like regardless I have this to continue on my series into the riders arc. Yeah the first chapter into this changes quite a few things, yes the isle of night episode is still in, but there will be no Alvin ambush. So let a review discuss how Mildew meets his demise for his unchanging ways, yes demise as in he will die.
