Night of the Hunters, Part 1.During a morning flight, Astrid and Stormfly encounter a band of mysterious dragon hunters on the beach, lead by Ryker Grimborn, who captures Stormfly while leaving Astrid adrift. After finding her, the riders scour the beach and the wreck of the Reaper for clues on their whereabouts, but only find a new lens for the Dragon Eye that works with a Changewing's acid. The new map displays the location of a port the hunters are on their way to, and though at first the attack is successful, Ryker reveals he is one step ahead. Only Hiccup and Snotlout manage to escape while the others are captured. While imprisoned, they reunite with Heather, who has now joined forces with her brother and is apparently working together with Ryker.
