Okay, I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be the last, and then once that's finished I'll post my new story and continue on. I'm so stoked for the new episode today! I can't wait to meet Dagur the Deranged!—I'm positive he'll make an entrance in this episode.

Disclaimer: I own nothing

If it was one thing Hiccup missed, it was the cold breeze that blew against his face when riding. He couldn't enjoy it though, he had to get off of Outcast Island and back home. And from the look of the sky ahead of them, those dark clouds and distance rumblings told him that if they were to fly to sea now, they'd surely be struck down and drown. It was an awkward view, on one side of Hiccup and Toothless was a dark storm while on the other side was a beautiful sunset made up of pink, orange and yellow rays.

Hiccup's ears began to ring and he held his head, strengthening his grip as to keep his balance. His head felt like it was going to explode, and sometimes he would get this sharp pain that would grow stronger in rhythmic beats, only to die down and disappear. Hiccup patted Toothless and asked of him to land. Toothless did so and landed on a rocky dried up creek where what was left of the water ran in a small stream down to the sea.

Hiccup stumbled off of the saddle and over to the water. He cupped his hands and scooped some up, drinking it, and doing so seven times. Toothless joined him, but soon lifted his head up at the sound of voices off in the distance. Toothless whimpered at his little Hiccup who seemed to be on the verge of passing out. He lightly tapped him with his head as to get his attention that they needed to move, but all he accomplished was make the boy sway a little and moan. He tried again and woke the boy from his state. Hiccup's head began to clear a little and he heard the voices as Toothless did; getting up and moving as quickly as he could to a nearby pile of shrubs. He crawled in and lay on his side, Toothless laying behind him and wrapping his tail up and around. Hiccup cuddled into Toothless, and in less than a minute, he was out. Toothless stretched out his wings and used them as a blanket for both he and his little Hiccup. And with darkness approaching rather quickly, his black wings will offer them protection against the outcast who was hunting them. Toothless sniffed the air to see if they were getting closer, but smelled something else he didn't like. Blood…

Toothless glanced down at his rider and saw the small patch of blood on his head. He licked it clean and laid his head down beside Hiccup's, but dare not close his eyes until both sent and noise of the outcasts were gone.

Alvin tapped his fingers impatiently against the arm rest of his throne. When Savage approached, he stopped.

"Well, did you find the boy?" he asked demanding an answer.

"No, we haven't found him—"

"Then why are you here? Go out and look for him!"

"We can't Alvin; the weather won't let up and we can't see five feet in front of us."

"Fine, tell my men to take a break; Hiccup would be hiding under cover in this storm anyway."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Wait until the storm passes; the minute it stops go out and continue y'er search." Savage nodded and left to tell the others. Alvin looked at the ground thinking; his fingers began to tap again.

That boy has cost me two dragons, three if ya count his own. If he won't willingly do as I say, then I'll just beat the information out of him.

Hiccup woke up to the warm sun shining through the small holes of the shrubs that gave them cover. The smell of rain hit his nostrils and a cool breeze swept across his face. He moved a little, finding no dragon behind him. He panicked and climbed out in a hurry.

"Toothless?" he called out. Upon looking up the sun was almost straight up in the sky indicating it to be close to noon. A roar sounded from aside him and Toothless came trotting over to him with some fish. Toothless dropped a fish into Hiccup's hand and cooed at him, wiggling his butt and bouncing over to the creek. Hiccup smiled and chuckled, and sat the fish down to go gather some wood and start a fire to cook it.

Hiccup would agree from experience that cooked fish tasted way better than raw fish. Just the thought of it sent chills of disgust down his spine. After finishing his fish, he set out with Toothless. Now that the storm passed, they could finally go home.

Upon soaring through the sky, crossing from land to sea, Hiccup turn back to Outcast Island and saluted a good bye.

"Come on, bud, let's go home." He said with a smile. Toothless couldn't agree more and picked up the pace headed for Berk.

Hiccup furrowed his eye brows at the sound of a whip being throw through the air. Before he could make things click, a net was swung around Toothless and rope wrapped tight around his legs and wings. They began to plummet, crashing into the sea below. Upon hitting the water, Hiccup's prosthetic came loose from Toothless' pedal and the waves separated the two. Struggling to breech the surface and get back to Hiccup, Toothless gnawed at the binds and flexed his muscles; eventually cutting himself loose. Hiccup breathed in deeply only to be pushed back under by another waved. He opened his eyes to determine which way was up and began to swim once the sun was found. Suddenly, a net came up from below him, catching him and entangling him within its rope, and pulled him up to the surface.

Hiccup was pulled on board the boat like a fresh caught shark, net taken off and secured tightly in the hands of the outcasts being dragged over to Alvin. Alvin caught a hold of Hiccup's arm and roughly pulled him closer.

"And you thought you could escape ol' Alvin." He stated with a wicked smile. "Y'er going to pay for what you put me through," He took out his dagger and threw Hiccup into the hands of Savage and another outcast. Savage held onto his left hand and placed it onto a wooden box; the other outcast held tightly onto Hiccup so that he couldn't pull his hand away. Alvin examined his dagger and moaned, throwing it to the side and picking up an axe. Hiccup's eyes widened and struggled to pull his left hand away.

"This will teach ya a lesson." Alvin raised the axe up and over his shoulders ready to bring it down onto Hiccup's left wrist. Hiccup screamed in protest and continued to fight Savage's grip on this left arm. Alvin swung the axe down, giving the momentum all it was worth. Hiccup closed his eyes for the inevitable, but it never came. No more than a few inches away from Hiccup's skin was the axe shot out of Alvin's grip. Stormfly dived down and flew right over the outcast ship; the others following.

"Keep your murderous hands off my son, Alvin!" Stoick shouted from the skies and Thornado roared its thunderous roar over the outcast ship. Alvin and his minions were flown back giving Hiccup the chance to free himself once again.

"I told you already, I'll take what I want!" Alvin yelled and threw the axe across the boat and toward Hiccup. Hiccup ducked and rolled out of the way and continued to the other side. Astrid led Stormfly down close to the side of the ship, urging Hiccup to jump over onto her, but arrows were flown and Astrid had to leave to avoid being hit. Hiccup ran to the edge of the boat and lifted one foot to jump off into the water, but a rope tightly fastened itself around his body and flung him over to the end of the ship. Savage grabbed him,

"You aren't going anywhere!" he said furiously. His grip was lost when Hookfang dived down and grabbed him, flying off over the water and dropping the dead weight into the sea. Savage screamed all the way down; his cries ending with a splash of water.

Alvin came over quickly and grabbed Hiccup lifting him up and wrapping his right arm around his arms as to subdue him. His left arm came up to his neck with his dagger in hand.

"Stop y'er attack Stoick, or he dies! And don't think I won't do it." He yelled. Stoick halted the riders and drove Thornado down to the outcast ship. He jumped off and Thornado flew away. Once his feet touched the deck, swords and spears were pointed at him. He had a stern look on his face while looking at Alvin, but as soon as he glanced at his son, it softened to a sorrow.

"Take me instead." He said quietly and sadly. Alvin turned his head to the side wondering if he had heard right.

"Take my life for Hiccup's freedom." He offered. Hiccup protested and screamed for his dad to stop, but was quieted by Alvin when the dagger pushed up against his neck.

Alvin narrowed his eyes and motioned for his men to subdue Stoick. They tied his hands together and kicked him down into a kneeling position.

"Once I kill you, Stoick, I'm going beat the information out of y'er son then take over Berk; and once there I'll have him slaughtered right in front of his entire tribe. You should know better than to make a deal with me."
