Thanks for those reviews guys and i hope this update doesn't give you guys heart attacks or the urge to punch/throw your device your reading it from. Cuz if those devices somehow break i'm too broke as a high schooler to repair them soooo please handle this with care.

P.S Snotlout will seem very occ in this chapter and yes I know that now with season two for race to the edge that this story won't match up but it's fanfiction anyway so yeah that's how life is.

"stoick?"

"Stoick?"

"STOICK!?"

"STOICK?"

Stoick's vision was suddenly brightening up which started out as a blur until he saw shapes, it took him a while before everything looked clear and to realize that he was laying on the grass in the forest and when the sun was starting to rise. He felt his head hurt like hell, it was as if someone threw six boulders at the same time on his head because this headache was the worst he ever experienced! When he looked up, Gobber was all up on his face which caused him to jump and scream since the blacksmith was so close that it was creepy! "GOBBER!? When..Why... What are you doing here?"

"Making sure you're alive after we finally found you three then we were removing those chains that tied you to that tree and then found that nasty bump on your head," Gobber explained, a few feet away from the two men, Astrid and Snotlout were stating to wake up from their unconsciousness then screaming since Fishlegs, the twins ad Snotlout's father Spitelout, were literally watching over them! "But the real question is, what happened here? I nearly had a heart attack when we found Astrid and Snotlout knocked out, the dragons asleep from too much dragon nip and you tied to the tree. Did you find Heather and Dagur? What about Hiccup? Where are they?"

At first Stoick didn't remember until a second later, it all came flooding back in his mind; Astrid's attempt to convince Hiccup and Heather to not join Dagur, Dagur feeding them truths and lies, their choice or in other words betrayal, how Hiccup and Heather single handedly knocked all the dragons out then the teens and himself... But nothing was so painful than Hiccup's anger towards him, those words were still echoing through his mind. "YOU HATED ME!" "I HATE YOU STOICK! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! YOU NEVER HAVE OR WILL EVER BE A FATHER TO ME!" The way Hiccup just used the buldgen to knock him unconscious but when Hiccup walked away with Dagur and Heather, he stopped, he-

"They attacked us," Astrid answered Gobber, she and Snotlout were rubbing the backs of their heads while the group looked at them in shock when Astrid's eyes were getting watery.

"Who? Who attacked you?" Gobber asked, afraid to even want to know what happened.

"Heather...And Hiccup," Snotlout answered with disbelief in his voice as he explained. "They were chained but Dagur let them go to choose a side, they walked towards us but then kicked the chief down and then knocked out our dragons...T-Then Heather hit the back my neck and BOOM I was unconscious!"

"Hiccup then knocked me unconscious, " Astrid whispered, but shaking her head from any negative thoughts, "But we can't say for sure if they really want to join Dagur..."

"Uh I don't know I mean they had a choice, but they knocked you and your dragons out, obviously attacking the chief then tying him to a tree, one of them knocked him out unconscious and are now nowhere to be found along with Dagur," Tuffnut listed, then put his hand on his chin as he shook his head with disappointment in a dramatic tone that stunned everyone. "They have joined the side of evil!" Now that caused Fishlegs to nearly faint if Ruffnut hadn't caught him and once she did he then burst out with panic.

"I should have known that the runt will betray us," Spitelout growled under his breath, crossing his arms. "He'll pay dearly for this."

"Oh man I knew it, they were going to go on Dagur's side, team up, making the armada bigger then attack every island in the archipelago without any mercy or second thoughts! OH HEATHER, HICCUP, WHY!? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BACK STAB US SO HARD!? WHY!?" Fishlegs was on his knees, screaming to the sky, as if fake tears were about to fall until Snotlout stepped up to him then slapped him out of that state.

"Knock it off Chickenlegs! Doing that won't change the fact that Hiccup and Heather ditched us to be with their real family because after learning so many shocking truths that no one has ever told them except for Dagur," Snotlout ranted. "They were confused, and lost mostly Hiccup so it was no surprise that they did what they did. Even I would do that if I was in his shoes."

"So are you saying we should just give up on them!?" Astrid screamed, getting really annoyed with what the Jorgenson just said but Fishlegs just made it worse since he approached her and explained in a calm tone. "If you think about it Astrid, those two had the liberty to not join but I'm afraid they really have turned their back on us. If we were to go after them, Thor knows what'll happen to us if Dagur, Hiccup, and Heather are working together! I've read so many books that held the history of tribes that don't exist because of the similar scenario; heir's discovering that they have a fake family, joining the enemy and then take revenge on that fake family which leads to endless wars until the tribe is burnt to ashes."

"Why are you saying this all of sudden?" Ruffnut questioned. "I mean sure after everything we come to realize that now Hiccup and Snotlout aren't real cousins but wouldn't this betrayal be considered treason so Hiccup's out the list of Berk's future chief so wouldn't that make you the new heir Snotlout?"

"Of course!" Tuffnut butted in as he went on his knees in front of Snotlout to so respect. "I bow before you new leader of our tribe, just don't burn us to the ground on your first five minutes on duty."

"You got to be kidding me! You can't possible be thinking about that!" Astrid growled, getting ready to pummel the twins until Fishlegs butting in at the wrong moment once again.

"Actually Astrid, they're right. Hiccup isn't Stoick's blood son and now he's committed treason so the best way to prevent problems is to have Snotlout step in as the new heir to the throne."

Spitelout's eyes suddenly lightened up to the idea, turning to Snotlout with seriousness while trying to hide his joy. "That's right, with Hiccup no longer heir, Snotlout my son you'll be chief! The first Jorgenson to ever be chief of Berk! Think of it my boy, the whole island under your control once we captured the traitors."

"NO!"Snotlout screamed from out of the blue as he shoved Tuffnut to the side, pushed his father away then stepped up to Fishlegs. "No one is replacing anyone, especially if it has anything to do with the heir of Berk! I gotta admit being the true heir can be cool just as much as being chief but I can't."

"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND SON!" Spitelout screamed, not caring is Stoick was right there. "You're getting such an opportunity!"

Snotlout gulped as if he was trying to muster all the mental strength he can to continue, looking start at his father's face."I know but I also know that I'm not capable or even worthy of being leader! Urgh I can't believe I'm saying this but...I'm an idiot who doesn't care about the well being of others, I freeze when it comes to being leader, I make the wrong irrational decisions that I know Hiccup would never make! Hiccup on the other hand has every quality and every right to be the real heir and new chief of Berk. I'm the warrior, and nothing more than that."

"But Snotlout, Hiccup is a traitor the moment he attacked with Heather. H-He's a berserker and we all know what they are-" Fishlegs and the twins tried to explain, not sure how to respond to this but they were interrupted by Stoick, who got up and slammed his fist against the tree only to stare them with cold glares as he shouted with disbelief with what he is hearing.

"How dare you? HOW DARE YOU TALK LIKE THIS ABOUT HICCUP!? Isn't he your friend, if so then why are you three so confident that he's a traitor, that he should be replaced and marked as an outcast because of one action!" None of the three answered as Stoick continued. "You're just going to give him more reason to believe every lie that Dagur will throw at him, those lies about his life here was fake. So if you want to go find a new person to replace Hiccup in your group of friends then be my guest, but don't expect me to to put Snotlout as heir because Hiccup is still my son and heir. He may not be my biological son but after all those years rising him, he was more of a real son than I could ever have hoped for so I will not allow Dagur to take him down the path of wrong. I'm going after them." He turned away to head towards Skullcrusher as he heard gasps from the group and could sense that a recovered nightfury was following his trail along with Astrid and Snotlout.

"Stoick are you crazy, Hiccup will kill you if you go after him!" Spitelout argued, wondering if the chief was losing it. "He knows he's a berserker, he's a traitor so he will find his true nature and eliminate you!"

"No he won't, he's not a traitor!" Snotlout assured his father, mounting on Hookfang while waiting for the chief's command. "Hiccup is not a berserker, he's a berkian, the dragon trainer, the rider of a nightfury and my cousin! Like Stoick said, biological or not, Hiccup's still family and the Hiccup I know will never side with Dagur just like that even if it was a situation like this without a reason, a purpose, a plan."

"Maybe but-"

"Would a traitor look back with tears in his eyes while mouthing 'I'm so sorry'!?" Stoick shot out with tears threatening to spill from his eyees, making everyone stunned with shock. "That's right, I remember, right before I was completely out, I saw them walk away but Hiccup stopped, he looked back at me with tears falling as he mouthed 'I'm so sorry'! NOW IF YOU STILL WANT HIM REPLACED AND CONSIDERED A TRAITOR THEN GO AHEAD! JUST ADMIT THAT DAGUR WAS RIGHT! As for me, I'm still going after them, with or without your help or support!" With that he mounted on Toothless, knowing pretty well that without Hiccup the nightfury couldn't fly and he wants to go after him so badly.

"Stoick wait," Spitelout finally spoke up, knowing that the chief won this argument. "You're...You're right...I'm..I'm sorry. Go, go to your boy because right now he's lost, confused and needs someone to show the light. But I'm afraid I can't join the search, I have to help the village get back on it's feet from that attack so I wish you good luck and to come back in time for the holidays." He then turned to his son, who was surprised that his father was able to change his mind in a flash. "As for you Snotlout, I'm a bit concerned over your choices but I'm proud of how you managed to turn down the offer of being heir. Now show off how a Jorgenson engages in battle and make the clan proud!"

"YES SIR!"

Astrid smiled a little at the fast change in atmosphere until he eyes landed on Fishlegs and the twins, who did not make a move to say a word or go mount on their dragons to join in. Shaking her head with a sigh and disappointment she mounted on Stormfly getting ready to take flight. I guess some of us aren't really Hiccup and Heather's real friends. She turned away from them until she felt someone tap her shoulder after thirty seconds, so she turned around and gasped to see that the three on their dragons ready to take flight and follow orders. "What are you guys doing?"

"Uh duh getting ready to rescue Hiccup and Heather," Tuffnut answered as if it was the most obvious answer ever. "We may have said some pretty bad stuff a few minutes ago but after nearly having our eardrums exploded, we saw that it was stupid of us to doubt our good friend Hiccup."

"So now he's your friend?" Astrid asked.

"Of course not, he's been our friend since we became friends," Fishlegs answered. "Besides I don't want you guys to do this alone, I have to admit I may have exaggerated when I heard about those choices Hiccup and Heather made but like you guys said, they must have done that for some reason. They both have good hearts and they're strong so there is no way they can break that easy!"

Stoick wasn't looking at them, but even if he wanted to, he didn't want them to see the tears streaming down from his eyes but once he whipped them out he cleared his throat and then faced the mounted up riders, Toothless, and Windshear. "Alright then, those of you joining let's go to Berserker Island, Gobber and Spitelout you two are responsible of taking care of the village until we return. LET'S GO!"

With that they all flew up, leaving Spitelout and Gobber waving from the ground as the blacksmith called out, "BRING THOSE TWO BACK IN ONE PIECE STOICK AND BE BACK WITH THEM IN TIME FOR SNOGGLETOG!"

"I plan on doing so!" Stoick yelled back, then focused on the horizon ahead seeing that there was no berserker ships anywhere but of course since it he was out for who knows how long and the sun was already rising so this new mission should hopefully be easier but the difficult part will come soon. So they were off, flying as fast as they could so they can rescue Hiccup and Heather, and mend the bond torn by lies.

Ok this chapter is crappy but on the bright side no cliffhangers, next chapter will be more interesting i promise. see ya next time ;)
