Stoick felt sick as he watched the young Hofferson stomp away from the great hall.

He had never seen her cry since she was just a little kid who barely cried back then unlike his son Hiccup who cried over everything.

He knew she was right, as soon as the words left Fishlegs mouth that his son was gone his world seemed to pause and crumble around him. He couldn't let that show though, he was the chief..as much as he wanted to drop all of his duties and go after his son and kill Alvin for attacking his village and daring to kidnap his son, he couldn't abandon his people who also desperately needed him. It was his job as Chief and for that he felt like a horrible father although he was kinda already in that category.

With a long tired sigh he rubbed his hand over his face, he didn't know what to do..he knew what he wanted to do but there where so many people who needed him along with his son.

"Ay Stoick!" He narrowed his eyes at Gobber who wobbled up towards him. "Is that really what you wanna do?" With another sigh he turned away his head hung low eyes shut tightly. "Gobber I'm the chief I can't abandon everyone who needs me." "You're son needs you most Stoick, we'er all safe now, Hiccup's the one in danger don't ya see that?"

Stoick turned back to look at Gobber. "You rather abandon you're son?" His eyes fell at the words Gobber used, it hit him hard..he'd done it so many times before, always chose being chief over being the father his son needed..everything had come before his sons needs and even now when his son was in Alvin's clutches he chose being chief then father. He could tell Gobber was angry and disappointed from the look in his eyes, he felt the same about himself. "You're right...I-I need to save my son." Gobber clapped the chief on the shoulder with a nod towards the village. "There Vikings they can handle themselves and they can manage without you for a bit..." Nodding he turned back towards the large group of people. "Get the ships ready! Where going after Alvin! We're going to get my son back!" The villagers roared with agreement and raced to get ships ready.

He turned back to Gobber with a sad smile. "Thanks, Gobber..." Gobber looked away. "You two are the most stubborn people I know." Gobber was right, if not for him Stoick would probably be placed on the most horrible father in the world list. (If that excited.) because knowing him and his stubborn issues he would of kept to his word by staying In Berk. He really needed to step back and rethink some stuff, he needed to become a better father..

He also felt the need to apologise to Astrid who tried her best talking everyone into rescuing his son, he let her and Hiccup down, he made a bad example while she was leading a good one by leaving no one behind and turning your back on family like he did to his own blood so many times.

"Did you happen to see where Astrid went?" He asked Gobber who just shrugged as he too looked around the room. "No ideal, saw her leave pretty angry..for you know..." "Yes Gobber I know, I'm a bad father." Gobber sighed. "You're not a bad father Stoick you just look like a confused one, you've never been good with showing emotions or affection.." He paused his hand going to his chin. "Although you where pretty handy with ya wife..if ya know what I mean." Rolling his eyes he turned and made his way down the hall Gobber following behind him as they both went out into the chilly air.

Blood stained the ground all around as well as bodies from both his and the outcast, it truly sickened him no matter how many times he seen it, he hated his people his friends falling before him with noting he could do to help them. He truly felt useless and Gobber could see the sadness in his best friends eyes.

They walked towards the chiefs house to get stuff ready Gobber about to go his separate way as well but both stopped as Stoick's name was screamed by no other than Astrid's mother, she raced forward with a panicked expression. "What's wrong?" He asked. Her eyes went from Gobber to Stoick as she caught her breath. "Astrid's gone! I-I can't find her anywhere." Another person came up from behind, Ruffnut and Tuffnut's Mom along with Fishleg's mom and even spitelout.

All the teens where missing along with his own son. Which made the whole thing even more stressful. Groaning he rubbed his hand over his face. "Alright, have people search the village they could still be he-" He was cut off by another villager. "There's a ship missing sir along with weapons!" Annoyed he turned to the villager. "What?" "A ship sir it's missing." Spitelout stepped forward beside Stoick. "Snotlout..." He mumbled in a annoyed tone. "We will find the kids lets get ready and go!"

Everyone raced off to get everything ready for the trip.

Gobber followed behind Stoick to his house. "Ah what a mess...and not like my undies, which reminds me I gotta pack my undies." Stoic glared over at his best friend. "Not the time Gobber." "Right..." He nodded then hobbled off towards his own house to get ready.

...

"I'm going to rip his legs and arms off then stuff them in his mouth before feeding him to a dragon!" Snapped Snotlout as he bit into a chicken leg. "Will you shut up!?" Snapped Astrid who was rolling the boat along with Fishlegs. "Maybe you can help instead of talking us to death!" Snotlout stood from his spot tossing his chicken leg over the boat. "Your right babe, let the men do the manly job and show you how it's done." Smiling she tossed the oar over. "Yeah show me how's it's done." With a nod and his head held high he went on the other side of Fishlegs and paddled and not to Astrid's surprise he was complaining just after twenty minutes when she had been doing it for over an hour. "You're so useless I swear." She sneered yanking the oar from his grip and kicking him out of her way as she started again.

"Agh, I'm so bored!" Whined Tuffnut. "Yeah why did we have to come again?" Asked Ruffnut making Astrid groan. "You're the ones that begged me to let you idiots come!"

They both looked at each other with confused looks. "Did we?" Asked tuffnut. Ruffnut shrugged. "Wait, no you begged us to come..." His eyes grew wide. "You lier!" Ruffnut jumped from her spot. "Yeah!" She shouted making Tuffnut roll his eyes. "Idiot." And again for the sixth time in the last two hours they fought until one or both laid unconscious for about five minutes before doing it all over again.

Astrid was ready to jump into the ocean and die then spend another minute with these idiots, but Hiccup stopped her from doing so, he needed her..and she wasn't going to give up on him.
