A/N: Alright guys another chapter (finally) anyway this is based on the story that Alvin told Hiccup about how him and Stoick turned from friends to enemies in "Cast Out Part 2"

Also, Hiccup said Alvin as been upset for 20 years. So I took that as he's been banished that long. So this takes place 3 years before Alvin got sent to Outcast Island.

Gobber also said that Stoick and Alvin haven been inseparable since birth. So I took that as they are the same age.

I also did my math on their ages so here they are:

Stoick: 23

Alvin: 23

Gobber: 28

Valka: 13


The night was calm, but the Berkians were expecting an attack like any other night. Stoick was polishing his helmet while his father was mapping out plans for another chief meeting. There was a knock at the door and Stoick's best friend, Gobber ran in.

"Gobber! Why don't you just walk in without knocking? I didn't even invite you in." Stoick said seeing his old friend panting the door step.

"Enough of your sarcasm, Stoick! I saw a Monstrous Nightmare coming in from the North!" Gobber panted and saw the chief behind Stoick smiling.

"You know what to do son. Go get your peers and lead them into battle!" Stoick rolled his eyes at his father. Even though he's no longer a teenager, he father still treats him like one. He knows he'll be chief soon, but it seemed that his father was more excited about it than he was.

"Gobber, get Alvin, Spitelout, Sven, and the others! Then meet me by the great hall for the plan." Stoick yelled while grabbing his hammer and put on his helmet.

After a few minutes, Stoick and his group of men were waiting for his plan. "Alright, First we distrait the dragon to get him to use all of its shot limits. Then I want Alvin and Spitelout to tear the beast's wings while Gobber and I smash its head, then-"

"Hold on Stoick! What gives you the right to lead us? I say we jump the beast and cut its head off!"

"First off, my father put me in charge, and your plan is too hazardous."

"Just because your father is the chief, doesn't make your plan better!"

"Enough! You don't have to like my plan, but we are following it! If you don't like it, you can tell it to my father, your chief!" Stoick yelled to the point the vain on his forehead could pop out. Alvin growled at him and glared at the chief-to-be.

"Alright enough you two, we got a dragon to kill!" Gobber shouted that got Stoick to get back into focusing on the attack.

"Stoick, the dragon found the sheep!" Spitelout cried, and then Stoick turned around and saw the beast put a sheep in its mouth.

"Let's go men!" Stoick cried and ran to the dragon with the others following.

The Monstrous Nightmare heard the battle cry and saw the Vikings running to him. The dragon fired at the men, but felt something get on his back. The Nightmare turned its long neck and saw Alvin.

"Alvin what are you doing?! I said we were going to let it use all of its shot limits!" Stoick exclaimed seeing his friend betray his plan.

"Your plan was taking too long! We have to attack it right away or it will take our life stock!"

"Get off Alvin! Right Now!"

Alvin didn't listen to him, but decided to take his sword to stab the beast. However, the dragon tried to shake the Viking off of him. Alvin tried to stay on, but accidently cut the beast instead of stabbing it. The Monstrous Nightmare roared in pain and threw the man off of him.

The raging beast saw the men surrounding him. To save himself, he attacked them. The dragon then saw a hand with a weapon coming at him. At first instinct, he grabbed the hand of the Viking and bit it off.

"GOBBER!" Stoick cried seeing his friend kneeling on the ground holding his handless arm. Gobber saw the blood surrounding him from his arm and the dragon's mouth. He felt the tears coming out of his eyes from the pain as he heard his friend keep calling for him.

Stoick put an arm around Gobber's shoulders trying to protect him. "Spitelout slit its throat!" Stoick commanded, but after he stated the next attack plan, the dragon had already left.

"Let's get you to the healer." Stoick said has he and the men ran to get to the house.

~oOo~

Stoick paced in front of the door waiting for any news about his friend. Then he heard foot steps behind him and saw his father and Valka coming towards him.

"All you alright son?"

"How's Gobber?"

Stoick nodded, "I'm fine father. It's Gobber I'm worried about. They haven't told me anything about him yet."

"How did this happen?" Valka asked and saw the fury in his eyes. Just at the right moment, Stoick saw Alvin in the distance. Stoick started to walk to him feeling his anger rising with every step he took.

"You!" Stoick growled and punched Alvin in the face.

"What the Helheim, Stoick! Do you think I tried to get Gobber to lose his hand?!" Alvin shouted holding his bloody nose.

"You didn't follow my orders! Because of you, Gobber no longer has an arm and the dragon escaped!"

"You've been letting a lot of dragons escape ever since you started hanging out with her!"

"You leave Valka out of this! We are talking about you disobeying me!"

"You better get used to it Stoick, because what happened this night tells me you'll be the worse chief Berk will have."

"And you are the worst worrier and friend."

"Me?! You came to me and punched me in my nose!"

"You deserved it!"

"Stoick!" Valka cried behind the two men. They both looked down at the young teen. "You are better than that! You don't need Alvin bringing you down. It's Gobber we are worried about, not Alvin." Valka stated and turned to Alvin, "and you! He is your future chief! You treat him with respect! You follow his commands, even if you don't agree with them."

Alvin breathed a laughed. "Is this you now Stoick? Letting some child speak for you? You are weak Stoick, and so will be your descendants." Alvin said walking away from the two.

"Child? I'm no child, I'm 13!"

"Let's just go, Val. I need to see Gobber." Valka nodded as they walk back to the healers.

~oOo~

Stoick, Valka, and the chief were in the room with Gobber who was getting his arm wrapped up.

"You're strong boy. I thought you'd be moping around." The chief said.

"Oh, Just because my hand is now in a dragon. Doesn't mean I'm no longer Gobber the Belch!"

Stoick laughed at his friend. "Well, at least you're more of a Viking than I am." Gobber shock is head, unaware about Alvin and Stoick's fight.

"Stoick, you are a Viking. Trust me, just because I lost my first limb before you don't mean anything."

"You guys are crazy, but that's why you're my friends." Valka said smiling knowing Gobber will be okay.

"Why thank you lass! I rather be crazy than normal. If I was normal I'll be no longer Gobber!" The three just laughed at the jolly man.

As the years went on, they learned from Gobber that no matter what happens to you; life goes on. Live it and don't mop around feeling sorry for yourself, but embrace it and let it be a part of you.


A/N: Before anyone ask; yes Stoick and Valka are 10 years apart. In the HTTYD 2 Art Book. It stated that Valka was 40 and Stoick was 50 in the website. So don't think I made that age gap up.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed don't forget to review :)
