Shadows were looming high over the island of New Berk. 
                          
"Zeph, this is ridiculous," Nuffink whispered to his sister as they tiptoed down the stairs of their hut, followed by their dragons — Dart and Pouncer.
                          
"You're telling me you're not even the slightest bit curious about dad's secret invention?" Zephyr wondered.
                          
You see, Hiccup Haddock had spent months working on something in his den, any spare moment he had. He refused to tell anyone about it, even Astrid, and young Zeph could no longer contain her curiosity.
                          
"Of course I am." Nuffink agreed. "But, sneaking out? Breaking into the den? Zeph, we're gonna get in trouble."
                          
"Don't be such a fraidy cat." She rolled her eyes. "Go back to bed if you want. I'm going with or without you."
                          
"Fine." Her brother sighed. "Someone has to keep you from breaking something."

The siblings snuck across the village and Nuffink kept a lookout while his sister picked the lock on the door.
                          
"We're in." She announced, opening the door, allowing her brother to enter.
                          
"How do you even know how to do that?" He wondered.
                          
"Survival 101." She explained. "Now let's hurry." She sauntered over to her father's desk to find a rather strange-looking artifact. She pulled out her journal and began sketching. "What do you think it does?" She thought.
                          
"It looks a little like the dragon eye II that dad wrote about in his journal." The blonde noticed. 
                          
"Yeah, well dad puts a Night Fury spin on everything." Zephyr chuckled as she reached for the object.
                          
"Zeph, you promised you wouldn't touch anything!"
                          
"Relax!" She suggested. "I just wanna see what it does."
                          
"You know what dad's inventions are like. For all we know, you're about to set the entire building on fire. Or choke us all with Zippleback gas." Nuffink warned.
                          
"It's not big enough for a gas canister. Even a small one." She told him. "Besides, there's no opening. How would he replace the canisters?"
                          
"Look, you've seen it. Just put it down and let's get home before mom and dad wake up."
                          
"Oh come on. It's not even finished, how much damage could it possibly do?" She thought.
                          
"Are you even listening to yourself?" Nuffink shrugged as his sister tinkered with the device, twisting certain parts and pressing every button in sight. The device suddenly lit up on one end. The light surrounded both young teens and their dragons until suddenly all went black.

"Uh, Hiccup?" Tuffnut called from the door of the Dragon's Edge clubhouse. "When did it start raining people?"
                          
"And dragons?" His sister added.
                          
"What on earth are you talking about?" Hiccup wondered.
                          
"They're talking about the kids and their dragons falling from the sky about to plummet into the ocean." Snotlout pointed. Fishlegs immediately grabbed Hiccup's spyglass.
