Ep 1. A View to a Skrill Part 2

As the second season of Dragons: Riders of Berk opens, Hiccup and Toothless are on a mission to rescue their dragon friend Gustav from the clutches of the vicious Dragon Hunters. Gustav had been captured after accidentally discovering their secret base, and the Hunters see his knowledge as a valuable asset in their quest to capture more dragons.

However, the rescue mission doesn't go as smoothly as planned. The Dragon Hunters have anticipated Hiccup's arrival and set a trap, forcing him and Toothless to fight off a group of wild dragons while also trying to free Gustav. In the chaos, they discover that the Hunters have managed to capture a rare and powerful dragon known as a Skrill - one of the few dragons capable of shooting lightning bolts.

Hiccup knows that the Skrill must be freed before it can be used for evil purposes, but the task is easier said than done. The Skrill is fiercely guarded by the Dragon Hunters, and its electrical powers make it extremely dangerous to approach. Hiccup and Toothless must use all their wits and skills to outsmart the Hunters and free the Skrill before it's too late.

Meanwhile, the other members of Berk are dealing with their own troubles. Snotlout is jealous of Gustav's close relationship with his dragon Hookfang, and tries to prove himself as a better dragon trainer. Fishlegs is struggling to come to terms with his newfound bravery, which he gained after an encounter with a Changewing in the previous season. And Astrid is worried about Hiccup's safety and the danger he faces against the Dragon Hunters.

As the episode progresses, these various plotlines weave together to create a thrilling and action-packed adventure. The animation is beautifully rendered, with stunning landscapes and incredibly detailed dragons that truly bring the world of Berk to life. The characters are all well-developed and relatable, with their own strengths and weaknesses that make them stand out from other animated shows.
