"WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HERE!!" Stoick shouted as he wriggled and grunted from the tape that was holding him. He wiggled so much that he fell off the chair and flopped on the floor like a fish out of water.

"Shouldn't we help him?" Fishlegs asked hesitantly as he looked to Hiccup only to see him filming his father with his phone.

"In a minute Fish." Hiccup said as he finished the recording.

"Why are you even filming this?!" Snotlout asked as he and the twins placed Stoick back on the chair.

"Blackmail material" Hiccup grinned.

"Oh" Was Snotlout's only response.

"Will you stop struggling?" Astrid asked in exasperation. "That duct tape is not what you can find over the counter. I modified this so that it can keep a hippo taped to the ceiling."

"Why you good for nothing-" Stoick started shouting at Astrid but Hiccup stopped him mid rant. "Hey that is no way to talk to my girlfriend!!"

"Your GIRLFRIEND!!!" Stoick sputtered as his eyes widened. "That lunatic who filled HQ with cotton candy is your girlfriend!!!"

"Eh... yes." Hiccup said and looked to Astrid for an explanation on the cotton candy part.

"I made some cotton candy bombs and they needed a test run." Astrid commented nonchalantly. "I didn't think they would be that powerful."

"It was awesome!" Tuffnut exclaimed while Ruffnut nodded. "We needed to eat our way through and the Chief was plastered to the wall of the office by the amount of cotton candy!!"

"I can't believe I'm saying this" Ruffnut muttered as she glanced at the chicken "but the chicken actually helped."

"See dear sister!!" Tuffnut said in triumph as Chicken puffed out her chest. "I told you."

"Wait, how does the chicken factor into all of this?" Dagur asked.

"We found her in the holding cells when we ate in the wrong direction." Tuffnut answered and then proceeded to hug Chicken. "Oh you poor chicken!!"

"Why did we have a chicken in the holding cells?" Stoick now asked out of confusion. The heroes looked at each other and shrugged. "Don't think you can just keep me here!! There will be search parties!!"

"Not anytime soon" Astrid said with a smirk. "I detonated two more cotton candy bombs as we left."

"That.... That.... That is just evil!!" Stoick sputtered as he wriggled in the chair.

"Why thank you" Astrid beamed as she said this. "I always enjoy a compliment."

"Now onto why you're actually here." Hiccup stated as he crossed his arms. "Drago, Project D and our powers. Explain."

"Where did you hear about that?!" Stoick now shouted.

"Does it really matter?" Hiccup mumbled. "We already know you shut down the project before. Why is Drago going to restart it?"

"HE'S WHAT!!" Was yelled so loud the Toothless placed his paws over his ears while he laid behind one of the couches where he couldn't be seen.

"At least we know for certain that Drago is acting without the government's knowledge." Heather said as she leaned against a blushing Fishlegs. She crossed her legs and the slit in her dress revealed creamy white thighs which caused Fishlegs to swallow loudly.

Stoick sighed and looked at those assembled. He was quite surprised that the heroes and villains weren't at each other's throats. "You aren't going to drop this matter are you?" he asked with resignation.

"No, nope, nah" Were some of the responses he got.

Stoick let out a weary breath before he started his story. "I was just promoted to General at the time and assigned to oversee project D, or project Draconian as it was officially called. Drago was trying to get the committee to authorise human testing but I stonewalled him each time. The tests and simulations he did were all failures but he was adamant that he would succeed with humans."

"What exactly was the purpose of project D?" Astrid asked.

"To design super soldiers, through genetic engineering by combining their DNA with that of dragons, who would obey commands without questions." Stoick muttered. "That alone sent up red flags with me so I tried to stop the project. I eventually succeeded but Drago shouted as he was being escorted out that he would get even."

"That wasn't the end of it, was it Chief?" Fishlegs asked. Stoick shook his head.

"Drago returned years later claiming that he had perfected the technique and discovered a power like no other. He claimed that not only would the dragon DNA give the human subjects enhanced strength but it could also give them immense powers. No one would listen to him but that didn't stop him."

"We were test subjects weren't we?" Hiccup stated as he figured it out.

"Aye. You all were kidnapped when you were teens along with countless others. We finally managed to track down Drago's lair but he had already completed the procedures. You all were manifesting draconic powers. We managed to conclude that he matched your personality traits to those closely resembled by the dragons."

"Wait so why don't we remember?" Snotlout now asked. "That just isn't something you'd forget!"

"We don't actually know. You didn't remember the procedures at all when we found you." Stoick explained. "The only reason I can think of was that Drago made you all forget."

"Then how come I remember bits and pieces?" Hiccup then asked.

"Hiccup maybe it doesn't have to do with the procedure as with the dragon you were paired with." Astrid suddenly said. "Night Furies are highly intelligent dragons and that might have partially stopped whatever Drago did to the others."

"True" Hiccup muttered. "I've seen Toothless open the cookie jar lid if he thinks I'm not looking."

"Toothless?" Stoick asked in confusion as he hadn't seen the lazy dragon hiding behind the couch. Toothless sprang up upon hearing his name and lazily trotted up to sit next to Hiccup.

Stoick went bug eyed when he saw the black dragon. "Is that... Is that.." He tried asking.

"A dragon, yes" Hiccup simply answered. "A Night Fury, yes, a lazy reptile, yes." The last one earned him a tail slap from Toothless which elicited laughs from everyone in the room, with the exception of a flummoxed Stoick.

"Where did he come from?" Stoick then asked and Hiccup was about to respond when the villains all shouted "AN EGG!"

"Seriously. Your sass is rubbing off on them." Snotlout remarked as his ears twitched. Chicken was looking at the twitching cat ears before flying up on Snotlout's head and pecking one.

"YEOUCH!" Snotlout shouted and batted his hands above his head to get the chicken off. Tuffnut finally took Chicken back and placed her on his lap like nothing had just happened.

"Getting back on topic." Hiccup said. "According to Eret, Drago is restarting project D and your missing supers might have something to do with that."

"Gathering all those with dragon powers in one place wasn't a coincidence was it Chief?" Fishlegs now asked. "The association was made to keep an eye on us, but all of us as part of one organization also makes us easier targets."

"Wait" Heather suddenly said. "Why would Drago kidnap those who already have dragonic powers. I get that they would have been proof of his success but-"

"You misunderstand something." Stoick muttered. "Just because someone has dragonic powers doesn't mean the experiment was a success.In the notes we found when we raided the lair, he classified almost all of the test subjects as failures even if they were showing signs of powers."

"How?" Everybody in the room now chorused.

"It seems that his new method did fuse the DNA strands but not to the degree he wanted. That is mostly the reason why your fire powers are hard to control. He blamed it on the DNA degradation of the fossils."

"That actually explains why he was trying to revive a dragon's egg." Astrid facepalmed upon realization and then her head snapped up "Wait a minute. Hiccup has no problem controlling his powers. Does that mean..."

Stoick nodded looking weary and years older. "The Night Fury DNA was the only one which bonded properly."

Hiccup was rendered speechless. His eyes widened and then he fainted with a thud.
