## History

### Background

It all started with a Dragon Hunter named Grimmel the Grisly. When he was young, he killed a sleeping Night Fury Dragon which his village declared as an act of courage and he was praised as a hero to them. Ever since that day, he spent the rest of his whole life hunting down and killing every signal Night Fury as a way to bring peace to the world. During that time, he found some Deathgripper Dragons which were Dragons that could kill other Dragons by using a special venom that could subdue them. Grimmel was able to control them by using their own venom then started using both them and their venom to help him in his quest to kill all the Night Furies until they were nearly extinct and even built an airship that the Deathgrippers would carry around as his mode of transportation. Grimmel was well known throughout the islands by some Vikings and was well praised by those who also hated Dragons, he was even known by Hiccup's father, Stoic the Vast. It also started after the War of the Dragons when Drago was defeated by Hiccup and Toothless with Hiccup becoming the new Chieftain of Berk and Toothless becoming the new Alpha of the Dragons. As a result, the leadership of the Dragon Trapper army fell under Drago's generals, the Warlords which consisted of Chaghatai Khan, Griselda the Grievous, and Ragnar the Rock. They continued to capture Dragons to try and rebuild their Dragon army but Hiccup and Dragon Riders of Berk would always stop them and free their captured Dragons by attacking their ships. After that, the Dragons would be taken to Berk for protection which was now getting over populated by them and causing some troubles for the Vikings. However, after dealing with them for a whole year the Warlords decided to hire Grimmel to help them out by getting the Dragons back for them. At first, Grimmel didn't want to help them recapture all the Dragons the Dragon Riders rescued but changed his mind when they told him about Toothless and how he was the Alpha of the Dragons on Berk. So the Warlords came up with a plan to have Grimmel capture Toothless and use him to bring all the Dragons to them with the Warlords payment for Grimmel being a female white Night Fury they captured. Grimmel tired to use the white Night Fury as bait to lure Toothless into a trap at night, but it didn't work because she flew away after she was seen by Hiccup and Astrid who called her a Light Fury but both Dragons became smitten by each other in the process. The next day, while searching for the Light Fury with Toothless and Tuffnut, Hiccup found the trap and a dart with some Deathgripper venom that Grimmel was going to use on Toothless and reported it to his friends. Where Eret revealed to Hiccup that the dart belonged to Grimmel and also revealed Grimmel's status as a Dragon Hunter. So Hiccups and the others tried to trick Grimmel into their own trap when he confronted Hiccup at night in his house and talked to him about his status as the Night Fury killer. When Hiccup and his friends surrounded him after he thought he subdued Toothless with the venom, Grimmel sent his Deathgrippers to attack them and then he escaped but before threatening Hiccup to give him Toothless or he would destroy everything Hiccup loved. That night, Hiccup proposed to the Vikings of Berk that because of Grimmel's attack, it was now too dangerous for them and the Dragons to stay on Berk and that they all should leave to find a new and safer home for both them and the Dragons. Hiccup decided that they would all go to the Hidden World so they would all be safe which was a legendary world where all the Dragons lived that could be found at the end of the World, but no one believed it was possible since the Hidden World couldn't be found and was regarded as just a story to the Vikings.

But Hiccup believed it existed because his father Stoic did research on it to try find it himself and was able to convince the Vikings to leave claiming that Berk was more than just a place it was also the people too. So, everyone gathered up their things and hopped on their Dragons and started the journey to find the Hidden World with their Dragons even caring ships that held the Viking's livestock. Meanwhile, the Warlords and the Dragon Trappers searched Berk for the Dragons but Grimmel told them that they and the Vikings had all left which was part of his plan. He was able to locate where they were all going and by introducing Toothless to the Light Fury he was now easily distracted since Furies mate for life, thus making him easy to catch. Especially, since the Light Fury was following Toothless and the Vikings on their journey. During the journey, the Vikings found a large uninhabited island with good land. Hiccup wanted to camp on the island just for the night but the Vikings wanted to settle down on the island already so Hiccup decided to let the Vikings stay on the island until he and Toothless could find the Hidden World themselves. Valka also left to head back to Berk on Cloudjumper to see if they weren't followed. In the morning, Toothless and the Light Fury encountered each other again and with help from Hiccup who secretly watched was able to impress her, but she flew away again when she saw him. Toothless tried to fly after her but couldn't since he couldn't fly without Hiccup riding him. So during the day, Hiccup made Toothless a new prosthetic tail wing to help him fly on his own so he could find the Light Fury and so Hiccup could get Toothless to regain his focus so they can find the Hidden World. But meanwhile, Valka made it back to Berk where it was overrun by Dragon Trapper ships then she was attacked by Grimmel's Deathgrippers but she managed to escape back to the island on Cloudjumper. Toothless was also able to find the Light Fury and together they traveled to the Hidden World at the end of the World. When Valka retuned back to the island and told Hiccup about Grimmel and all the ships that were gong to be used to capture all the Dragons. Hiccup decided to go to the Dragon Trappers' camp with the Dragon Riders to try and capture him first. When they got there they tried sneaking into his tower but they were all captured by Grimmel who was expecting them. When Hiccup ask him why he was trying to kill Night Furies, Grimmel revealed his past to him and how he controls the Deathgrippers which sent to attack him and the Dragon Riders but they managed to escape on their Dragons back to the island except for Ruffnut who was captured by Grimmel. When the Dragon Riders returned back to the island and found out Ruffnut was gone, Hiccup decided to rescue her but he needed to get Toothless back so he and Astrid went out to look for him on Stormfly. However, Ruffnut was able to get out by annoying Grimmel and the Warlords into letting her go and flying back to the island on a captured Baby Dragon with her non stop talking, but they secretly followed her after Ruffnut mentioned the island while she was talking. Meanwhile, Hiccup and Astrid are able to find the Hidden World at the end of the World while Stormfly was tracking Toothless' sent which was a beautiful place filled with many kinds of Dragons. They were even able to find Toothless who had become their King since he was the Alpha with the Light Fury as his Queen. However, they were discovered by one of the Dragons who attacked them, but Toothless was able to help them get out safely. When Toothless and Stormfly got them back to the island, Hiccup realized that the Hidden World wasn't meant for Vikings and that it's only meant for Dragons. He also realized that Toothless was needed there the most but then the Light Fury appeared on the island after it followed them back.

### The Battle

However, Ruffnut arrives back to the island on the Baby Dragon and tells Hiccup and Astrid how she escaped but they soon realize that she was followed by Grimmel and the Dragon Trappers. Grimmel then appears on the island and captures both Toothless and the Light Fury using his venom darts and holds them captive on his airship. Which causes all the Dragons on the island to come and try to help them but Grimmel forces Toothless to call them off or he would kill the Light Fury. So Toothless orders the Dragons to stand down and Grimmel takes both Furies away back to the Dragon Trappers' ships on his airship with the other Dragons following them but Hiccup comes up with a plan with the Dragon Riders to save them all. Hiccup and the Dragon Riders go to rescue the Dragons by wearing wing suits to glide to the Dragon Trapper ships where Grimmel hands all the Dragons over to the Dragon Trappers who put them all in cages. But when he is about to give them Toothless, he double crosses the Warlords and the Dragon Trappers and plans to keep both Furies for himself to kill them and complete his quest. But then the Dragon Riders show up and fight off Grimmel, then Toothless orders Cloudjumper, Grump, and Skullcrusher to escape and fly back to the island to get help from their riders. The Dragon Riders then fight the Dragon Trappers while Toothless is able to free his mouth and attacks Grimmel with his fire breath which in the process destroys his airship frees two Deathgrippers from Grimmel's control who attack the Dragon Trappers' ships. After Hiccup and Astrid blow up one of the ships, Hiccup goes to save Toothless on Stormfly but Grimmel uses the Deathgripper venom to control the Light Fury so Hiccup frees Toothless and they both go after Grimmel to save her. As the Dragon Riders continue to fight off the Dragon Trappers, free the Dragons, and destroy their ships, Valka, Eren, and Gobber arrive to help them out after their Dragons bring them back who fight the Warlords. Meanwhile, Hiccup and Toothless chase Grimmel and the Light Fury into a lightning storm trying to get him off her back without hurting her. Then the Dragon Riders take down all of the Dragon Trapper's ships, while in the process trap the Warlords in a cage and free all the Dragons. Hiccup and Toothless continue to chase Gimmel and the Light Fury as they go through a snowy mountain range while at the same time fighting off his Deathgrippers. After all the Deathgrippers gang up on Toothless, he defeats them by by using the power of the lightning storm to shock them all off him. Hiccup and Toothless then confront Grimmel who poisons Toothless with one of his venom darts. Hiccup is then to get Grimmel of the Light Fury but he pulls grabs onto Hiccup who is hanging from the Light Fury, but not before Hiccup is able to free the Light Fury who tells her to save Toothless then lets both himself and Grimmel drop down into the ocean. But as they are both falling and fighting each other, the Light Fury is able to save Toothless and later goes back to save Hiccup then Hiccup gets rid of Grimmel by disconnecting his pegleg which causes Grimmel to into the water and drown. The Light Fury then takes Hiccup back to the island where he reunites with Toothless and the Dragon Riders return with all the Dragons.

### Aftermath

After that, Hiccup lets Toothless stay with the Light Fury by letting him go. Then all the Vikings let all of their Dragons go too and after a tearful goodbye, Toothless and the Light Fury lead the Dragons to the Hidden World where they are belong and where they will be safe. With all the Dragons gone, the Vikings officially settle on the island which they call New Berk. Years later, Hiccup and Astrid get married, become Chieftains of New Berk, and eventually have kids. However, with the Dragons gone the world had now completely forgotten about them until one day, Hiccup and Astrid show their kids Toothless and the Light Fury who also have kids of their own and fly along with them and Stormfly.
