Thank you for all the reviews.
I always expected maybe 2-3 reviews.
But
FREAKING 121 REVIEWS?! O_O
Is it weird that I spend my free time rereading all my reviews? XD
LET'S GO!
I know I promised a long chapter, but I only had an hour, and I have to go to bed, and I wanted to give you something.
I'll do reviews at the end (There's a lot)
I have a question:
Should he fix his relationship with Berk?
No like Ay, Pfft its fine I love you guys now, but more of like a neutral feeling, like hey, you don't kill me, and I don't kill you.
Please leave your thoughts in the reviews! :D

Hiccup yawned, sitting up in bed. He looked to his side, seeing the empty spot on the bed next to him. Kala must be downstairs. It had been a week since his mother had found him, four days since they had returned to Drakoak. Kala and Elva had been suspicious at first, but after the first two days, they had warmed to her, Valka had even got Elva to call her Grandma. Hiccup threw his covers off and rolled out of the bed, stretching. He changed into a fresh tunic, pulling on brown leggings under the green tunic, and then he headed down the hallway. As he passed, he gently pushed Elva's door open, and saw that her bed was empty. He walked to the next room, the room that had been designated as Valka's, and saw it was open, the room vacant. Hiccup turned and trotted down the stairs, stretching his arms above his head. As he came out in the kitchen, he saw that his family members were all collected around the square table, all eating toast and ham. Hiccup walked in and sat between Kala and Valka, rubbing his eyes.
"Hey Hiccup, took you a while to get up. Are you feeling okay honey?" Kala rested her head on Hiccups shoulder, ignoring the groan of 'mooooom' coming from her other side as Elva rolled her eyes. Hiccup smiled and kissed the top of his wife's head.
"I'm fine, just stayed up late last night." He yawned. Valka perked up.
"Staying up doing what?"
"Just dealing with Terrible Terrors, a group of them ganged up on Jayden and Jorden." Hiccup ran a hand through his ruffled hair and picked up a slice of toast, cramming it in his mouth. "Anph if hadf toph hunt themph downf and trainpf themph." Hiccup explained, his voice muffled by the toast.
"Hiccup, use your manners. Don't speak with your mouth full, son." Valka sighed, disapproving,
"And what did you even say, dad?" Elva questioned, laughing.
"I had to hunt them down and train them." Hiccup cleared his throat.
"Oh... okay, you didn't harm them though, right?" Kala inquired.
"Of course not." Hiccup rolled his eyes. The table fell into a silence, only interrupted by the sounds of chewing and plates and cups scraping across the table. After a few minutes, Elva and Kala stood up, and started to put their dishes away, leaving Hiccup and Valka alone at the table. Hiccup turned to Valka and cleared his throat.
"…Mom?" Hiccup sat sideways in his chair, staring at Valka.
"Yes Hiccup?" Valka set down her glass and looked sideways at Hiccup.
"Why… How did you find me?" Hiccup scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
"I actually… I wasn't looking for you." Valka chuckled nervously.
"Oh? What were you looking for?" Hiccup asked curiously.
"I was looking for… the Red Death." Valka whispered. The kitchen went silent as Kala and Elva set down the dishes they were cleaning, turning to stare at Valka.
"The what?" Hiccup asked.
"It's a huge beast, bigger than Berk. She is the queen of a nest, forcing innocent dragons to fetch her food, and if they don't…" Valka trailed off, glancing sideways at Elva, who was staring at her, horror etched in her face, one hand clutching her mother's arm. "She eats them." Elva gasped and stepped back.
"What?!" Hiccup gasped.
"Yes, I was looking for its nest so I could save some of those dragons. From how the dragons are acting, I presume it is north." Valka explained quickly. Hiccup ran the information through his head then came to a disturbing realization.
"But North is…" Hiccup prayed he was wrong.
"Berk." Valka finished. Drat, he was correct. Hiccup growled.
"I'm not going to help those monsters." Hiccup glared.
"But, think of those innocent children!" Valka gasped at Hiccups gruffness.
"Innocent? Yeah right. More like to-be dragon killers." Hiccup scoffed.
"How would you feel if Elva was there?" Valka pressed. Hiccup froze, and then sighed.
"Fine."
"Hiccup, No!" Kala cried, tearing herself from Elva's grasp, standing across the table from Hiccup. "No! It's too dangerous!"
Hiccup turned to her. "I'm sorry."
"No! Dad, you don't owe anything to those barbarians!" Elva spat. Elva and her mother were standing across the table from Hiccup and Valka, all of them standing, staring across the table at each other, both sides locking in an intense staring match.
"I'm sorry but I can't let children die. And Gobber… I owe it to him at least, for being there for me my entire life." Hiccup smiled slightly thinking of his ex-teacher. "And once the Red Beast finishes with Berk, it may come for Drakoak. I can't let that happen. I promise I'll make it home safe."
"Fine. You can go." Hiccup was taken aback as Kala agreed. "But, you have to take me and Elva with you." Kala laid down her trump card, knowing Hiccup would agree. And she was right.
"Fine. We're leaving… today I guess. Two hours, meet at the arena. I'll go inform Oakley and Hoarif." Hiccup stood up abruptly, and walked briskly out into the living room, stopping to grab his flight suit and cloak, and then swept out the door. Valka stood up, and quickly made her leave, excusing herself so she could go fly Cloudjumper. Kala and Elva looked at each other, and then split ways to go pack bags and prepare the dragons for the trip.

Hiccup strode down the path, and stepped into the village square, roughly shoving and elbowing his way to Hoarifs house. He shoved the door open, letting it slam loudly against the wall, and strode inside, letting it slam shut behind him. Hoarif was sitting at his table, a glass in his hand, and an open book on the table in front of him. Hoarif looked up, and then set his goblet down, and closed the book. Hiccup walked forward and leaned against the table.
"What's wrong?" Hoarif inquired.
"I'm leaving, taking Jack, Kala, Elva, and Valka with me."
"Where are you going?"
"We have a dragon problem to take care of."
"I won't ask. I know I won't like it." Hoarif shook his head. "Make it back alright, you hear me, Hiccup?" Hiccup smiled and nodded, reaching forward to embrace his adoptive father, and then drew back, walking out the door, off to find Jack, the man he was taking alongside his family.

Hiccup walked into the arena, Jack at his side. Jack was a tall, muscular man, in his late twenties, with green eyes and messy blond hair. He was carrying a glaive on his back, and had two daggers strapped to his legs. Once inside the arena, they met up with Kala, Elva, and Valka, all waiting beside their dragons. Hiccup climbed aboard Toothless, and watched as Jack clambered aboard his Gronkle, Shattermaster. (Ahhhh…) Once everyone was all aboard their dragons, they took off, the five of them flying off in the direction of Berk.
