Stoick landed Thornado by the docks, jumping off of him as he approached an oncoming ship. He had been searching the caves along with the majority of the tribe for Alvin and Hiccup, but with no such luck, they resorted to searching any caverns that had water access. While discussing with the members of the ship who set sail to look, like the one docking now, Stoick yet again found no sign of Hiccup.

The others passed by as Stoick stared down at the wood boards. He sighed and peered out over the horizon. Thoughts were going through his head as to where they may be.

Did Alvin somehow manage to leave Berk and take Hiccup to their island?

He automatically ruled that possibility out, not because he was 100% sure of its truth, but because he had a gut feeling to keep looking around Berk's caves. The next thing he thought about was Alvin. He loathed that man, for all he was worth. Ever since…

Stoick sighed again and turned around to jump back on Thornado.

And now he has Hiccup. He thought, riding off into the dusk of the sky.

Back underground, echoes of laughter reverberated from the walls. Deep within the Earth the caves ventured on, seemingly a maze to the untrained eye. But Alvin had his fair share of caves such as these—though not particularly like these—so he lead the group through the dark tunnels with the torch in his hand. They had apparently found another one as the outcast in the very back had a torch as well. Savage followed closely behind Alvin with Hiccup beside him, his wrist—the good one—clutched tightly in Savage's grip. The rest of the outcasts—five total counting the very last one with the torch—followed behind to ensure Hiccup didn't escape the other way.

As they walked along, they continued to laugh, Hiccup looking annoyed as ever and just about ready to throw some sarcasm of his own out into the air.

"…He ha haha, and then the, the—"

"Gronkle." Hiccup said in a monotone voice.

"Yeah, yeah, the Gronkle attacked Benny with a force I never knew!" with that finished the rest burst out laughing except Hiccup scowled at their stupidity and Alvin who just smile, but enjoying himself nonetheless.

"Of course you wouldn't." Hiccup replied silently to himself.

"I liked the part when, hahaha, his head got smashed in and his body flew around like a ragdoll!" Savage stated, once again they burst out laughing.

"hehehe, floppy, floppy, floppy!" another outcast mimic the motion of the subject by waving his arms around and jumping up and down with a moronic look on his face. The others laughed at his antics while Alvin smiled and turned around.

"The best part was when his head got cut off." Savage and the others all laughed with him at the "pleasant" memory.

"You're laughing at a guy who got decapitated. I knew you were bad, but that's just sick." Hiccup stated.

"De—what?" Savage asked completely confused.

"De-cap-i-ta-ted. Means when ones head gets completely severed from the rest of the body." Hiccup replied with disconcert.

"Ugh, Alvin can we put a gag on him; he's giving me a head ach." Savage asked.

"I ain't gagging him just because your poor head hurts when he talks."

"That's because his brain is so small it can't completely process what I say all the time. That or he's just stupid." Hiccup whispered mainly to himself, but considering they were in a cave and everything echoed, he was sure they also heard it.

"I heard that!" Savage retorted.

"So did I; HAhaha!" Alvin joined. "You know Hiccup, my offer is still up if you'd like to join me."

"And my answer is still the same. The last thing I would do is betray my people."

"You've already done that I'm sure." Alvin replied.

"What?"

"Oh come now, you can't tell me that Stoick just let you go out and befriend a Night Fury, and then train every other dragon that set foot on Berk? How did you even pass the subject to him? Don't think I don't know your father because I do; he would of never agreed to such blasphemy."

Hiccup's face saddened as the memories of the final exam came back; the time when his father had disowned him and pushed him down to the ground when Hiccup tried to pull him back. He also remembered when he raced off to defeat the Green Death (or was it the Red Death?) and lost his left foot, waking up to find that almost everyone had their own dragon and was riding it.

"My intentions were for the better, not the worse." He simply stated, looking back up at Alvin who was staring down at him, reading his face.

"Of course." Alvin said. He jerked Savage aside, grabbing Hiccups wrist now and thrusting him forward. Hiccup stumbled but regained his balance and looked up at Alvin. He stood where he was smiling, motioning for Hiccup to leave. Hiccup was confused, why would he just allow him to escape?

"Uh, Alvin…" Savage said way more confused by the fact that Alvin was giving Hiccup a chance to escape.

"By all means, if you wish to return home—"he finished by moving his hands forward, shooing him to leave. Hiccup began backing up, looking down the tunnel to where he had no idea led and back to Alvin who just smiled at his confusion with an eerie joy. He knew it was a bad idea and that Alvin was up to something, but he took it chance and ran ahead as fast as he could into the darkness.

Savage looked at Alvin, forward where Hiccup took off, and back at Alvin.

"Get him." Alvin said with his smile. The others began to smile as well and readied their weapons, rushing forward to chase down their prisoner.

Hiccup inhaled deeply and exhaled quickly as to keep the oxygen flowing. He saw a light up ahead and sprinted towards it now questions asked. Déjà vu all over again as he slid to a halt at the edge of yet another, lava filled chasm, except this one smaller and no temple. The path led down to the right, hugging the side of the rock wall. Turning around at the sound of the outcasts' echoes, he dashed down the path, panting heavily and choking as he breathed in the hot steam.

"There!" at the sound of the outcasts, Hiccup turned to look back where he once stood. Savage and the other five filled the spot, the two archers taking aim and Savage leading the other three towards him with swords in hand.

As Hiccup turned to run away, an arrow was shot; embedding itself into Hiccup's left shoulder—his bad shoulder. He screamed from the searing pain and lost his balance falling off the side, landing on a small unstable slab of rock not too far down. It cracked and began to slide towards the lava below with a barely conscience Hiccup. However, before he could touch the lava, Savage grabbed a hold of him and pulled him back up.

Hiccup laid on his back as Alvin came into his vision. The man was still smiling deviously and kneeled down to Hiccup, reaching his hand over towards his shoulder and taking hold of the arrow. He pulled it out, hard, and watched as Hiccup screamed and withdrew into a fetal position. The last thing Hiccup knew was the feeling of the ground rumbling and shaking.
