It was still raining in Berk and Hiccup and the others found themselves falling from the sky and landed on the ground hard. Hiccup pulled himself up and took in his surroundings, it appeared they landed in the forest and recognised some of the trees they must be just outside of Berk.

"Well, I've had smoother landings," he groaned.

Then he saw it, it was Berk in all its glory. It had been completely restored, in fact there wasn't even a trace that it had disappeared. Soon the others turned and stared upon the city of Berk.

"Looks like everything is back to normal," said Hiccup.

"It's Berk," Ruby cried.

"We did it," said Toothless.

"I never thought I would lay eyes upon it again," said Valka tearfully.

"Wait, let's not get ahead of ourselves," said Astrid. "We should celebrate until we know everybody is okay."

"They're just fine," said a voice.

They looked up and to the great surprise they found that the other Exceeds floating above their heads. Apparently they had made it to Midgard as well.

"We got here a while ago so went and checked on them for you."

"We decided to fly through town real quick."

"Your friends and everyone in town is doing great."

"When we went to check on them they didn't even know they had been turned into a lacrima."

"Midgard is totally awesome, you guys. There's tons of magic power."

"What are they doing here?" said Stormfly stunned. "It's not right. The Exceeds do not belong in Midgard." She glared up at them as they landed. "We cannot allow them to stay here, they are far too dangerous. They should return to Edolas."

"Stormfly, it's not got anywhere else to go," said Toothless.

"He's right, the homeland is gone," said Merrill. "I think we should forgive them."

"Never!" said Stormfly firmly.

Younger Exceeds looked at her apologetically.

"We apologise for falling rocks at you lady."

"We're really sorry."

"We have no place to go now that Extalia has been destroyed."

"We promise that we'll be nicer to you now."

"Please say you'll forgive us."

"It has nothing to do with you kids, it's her!" Stormfly snapped looking at Holystorm. "I'm angry because Extalia's Queen and her lackeys sent me on a mission to kill Dragon Slayers."

"I agree," Starfang roared. "The Queen ordered us to give up all our eggs. How could she be so heartless?"

"Calm down, dear," said Brightstar.

"Glad to see you're all right," said Toothless looking at them.

A few of the older Exceeds nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, no joke, she never even told us why, didn't she?"

"I can assure you that she had a most honourable reason to do so," said Earthdagger.

"I remember the moment vividly, it was one year ago," said Fireclaw.

"As I mentioned before, Queen Holystorm has the ability to glimpse into the future, it is both a gift and a curse. One day…"

One year ago, Queen Holystorm informed the Council Elders of vision she had seen. A vision that showed the floating islands of Edolas, including Extalia, crashing down to the ground and the shadow of a warrior with black wings.

"Extalia will fall," said Stormsword.

"And the Black Winged Exceed will appear," said Fireclaw.

"I hate to admit it, but if that's Queen Holystorm vision… I'm afraid it's bound to happen sooner or later," said Seastar.

"Then we have to protect ourselves, but who would do something like that?" said Fireclaw.

"The presence of the Black Winged Exceed is an ill omen, if he appears then calamity will be sure to follow," said Earthdagger.

"It has to be the humans," said Stormsword.

"We now realise that Extalia was bound to fall through natural means due to the exhaustion of magic power," Earthdagger explained. "However, at the time, we believed our homeland would be destroyed by the humans."

Stormsword looked up towards Holystorm. "What shall we do your Majesty?" he asked.

"We cannot win a war against the humans," said Holystorm.

Reluctantly, the Council Elders agreed after all they had faked their divine powers. If award did happen they won't stand a chance.

"We've no choice," Holystorm continued. "Save the children."

Back in the present, everyone was staring at Holystorm and her counsel.

"Save them?" said Starfang shocked.

"You don't mean?" said Brightstar with her paws over her mouth.

"That's a very different tale we were told before," said Toothless.

"Yes, young man," Seastar nodded.

"In order to prevent panic among the Extalian we carried on our plan without their knowledge," Stormsword explained.

"The Queen then issued a false proclamation, it was merely a cover up for our plan," said Fireclaw.

"We felt horrible about making the Queen lied to you like that, especially to you Starfang," said Stormsword.

"Yes, but we had no choice," said Seastar.

"We simply could not go public to the knowledge that our beloved Extalia might come crashing to the ground," said Fireclaw.

"We assure you, we have no ill will towards the Dragon Slayers whatsoever," Earthdagger assured.

"Don't worry, we know?" Merrill nodded. "You just needed something to go along with the story you told them."

"You knew everyone would panic if the truth came out so you had to make up something else to tell them," said Ruby.

"We get it," said Ragnar.

"You were trying not to frighten anybody," said Valka.

"We made use of the humans Anima to successively carry out our operation," said Holystorm. "However, something completely unexpected happen with two of the eggs. One was naturally young Toothless being the Black Winged Exceed, the last one that showed up prevented a massive tragedy when the Dorma Anim was last activated and right before Toothless managed to save our people."

"But I didn't do anything?" Toothless frowned.

"That's not true," said Holystorm. "You managed to help both yourself and Stormfly to escape which led you to free both Ruby and the Dragon Slayers. Not to mention the fact that if you hadn't spotted the lacrima, then it would have destroyed Extalia and all the Exceeds."

Toothless just stared and even his heart he knew the Queen was right.

Holystorm then turned to Stormfly. "The other was you Stormfly. You see we had no idea that you possess an incredible power also."

"Me?" Stormfly stared.

"Yes. As it turns out you possess the same prophetic powers that I do." Everyone just stared at Stormfly. "However, you did not have conscious control over it and as a result it clouded and confuse your memory. Of the one hundred Exceeds that we sent away only you had this gift.

"I suspect that you began to see scattered fragments of Edolas' future. Your gift, caused you to mistake that information as your personal mission."

"I was wrong," said Stormfly.

"So, we were never given a mission," said Toothless.

"That's right, it was just your way of trying to make sense of the strange thoughts and images in your head. You were sent here just so that we could protect the next generation, nothing more."

Stormfly remembered when she led them down into the tunnels underneath the Royal City. "So, those were all prophecies?"

"Before whatever reason we thought it would be better off if we hit your prosthetic powers from you," Grump explained. "Therefore we had no choice, but make it seem as though we were controlling you. We beg you your forgiveness."

"At the time we honestly for that was the only way we could embellish the Queen's divine power," said Solatrand. "However, now we deeply regret it."

"The show of false bravado, but I chose to put on, for the citizens and humans in the face of hardship is what caused you to suffer," said Holystorm. She then shook her head. "No, I didn't just cause your suffering, I brought anguish to all the families I took eggs forms a year ago."

She then looked at Stormfly. "Now you understand, that is why I handed you the sword to you. I swear that Exceed kind had nothing to do with this. It was my fault alone."

There was quite a lot of talk amongst the Exceeds.

"It wasn't just you your Majesty, no one is to blame," said Grump.

"You shouldn't be held responsible, you were only doing what you thought was best for the citizens of Extalia," said Solatrand.

"Yeah, we're just as much to blame as you are Queen Holystorm, because we were so full of ourselves."

"But now we're in Midgard we can make things right again."

"Let's go out there and find all the Exceeds children that were sent away a year ago."

Hiccup and the others watched as the Exceeds their wings and flew up into the sky.

"Optimistic, aren't they?" said Hiccup chuckling slightly.

Holystorm then broke down in tears. "Thank you, everyone."

"We should all count our blessings today," said Solatrand. "We are lucky to be granted this new beginning."

Stormfly, however, still had her paws crossed. "Well, okay. Then in that case I forgive you."

Tears of happiness then rolled down Holystorm's cheek. "Stormfly."

Stormfly then looked at her curiously. "But tell me… how did I possess the same prophetic powers that you do."

Both Holystorm and the Council Elders looked slightly embarrassed.

"I don't really know what to say," said Holystorm, trying to keep her composure.

"I think the answer is quite obvious," said Toothless looking at Stormfly. "Don't you think?"

"I suppose it is," Stormfly nodded.

"Well, all end then well," said Hiccup.

"Indeed," Grump agreed. "Though admittedly things were a bit hairy near the end."

"That's putting it mildly," said Ragnar.

Astrid laughed, but then tense when she felt a creepy feeling going along her spine. It was Solatrand, who seem to have taken a great interest in her.

"Knock it off," she snarled.

"Please Miss, allow me to endure your perfume little longer," he said proudly flying up to her face.

"Get away!" she roared and passion right across the face.

He then crashed to the ground with a large bruise across his face. "So lovely and it's so cruel," he wheezed.

"Sorry, you just remind me of a very formal acquaintance," said Astrid apologetically.

"I think it would be best if we take up residence somewhere nearby, don't you?" said Holystorm looking at Merrill and Stormfly, who was still in a bit of a mood.

"Yeah, then we can visit each other," said Merrill cheerfully.

"What are you so chipper about?" Stormfly asked looking at Holystorm.

Holystorm answer that question by pulling her into a hug. "Now we'll be able to see each other whenever we want."

Stormfly was unsure how to respond with this, it was the first time that she had been hugged by her mother.

Toothless wandered over to Starfang and Blightstar.

"Tell me, are you guys my parents?" he asked.

"Yes, and we wanted to see you for such a long time," Blightstar cried. The two of them then hugged their son. "You look after yourself now."

"Star, the boy can take himself now," said Starfang.

Blightstar nodded. "Just promise you'll visit us."

"I promise," said Toothless.

Then they all watched as the Exceeds flew off into the distance. Blightstar was helping Holystorm as they flew.

"Bye, we'll see you later!" Hiccup yelled.

"Take care!" Ruby yelled.

"Bye for now!" Merrill yelled.

"Fly save!" Valka called.

"Farewell, I can't thank you enough for everything," said Holystorm.

"I'll miss your sweet perfume!" Solatrand called.

"Thanks again," said Grump.

Soon Hiccup and the others disappeared inside and they flew off to the nearby mountains.

"I still can't believe that you want your own daughter to kill you," said Starfang.

"At the time I thought I deserve it, maybe I still do," said Holystorm. "Until we can find all the children we sent to Midgard a year ago I have no right to call myself a mother. I have to admit though, your son is certainly strong-willed."

"Personally I think he got it from that human boy," Starfang shrugged.

"I'm just glad that see him whenever we want to," Brightstar smiled.

Starfang nodded. "I have to say, you're Majesty, I had no idea you send your own daughter to Midgard too."

"I merely a woman who's named a Queen, and just like you, I know how much children mean to their parents."

"Ain't that the truth?"

On the ground, Hiccup looked to his mother.

"This is going to take a lot of explaining to dad," said Hiccup.

"I know," Valka sighed. "I'm not even sure where to start."

"We also another problem," said Eret. "Where the heck did Skullcrusher and Cloudjumper go too?"

"Who's Skullcrsuher?" Ragnar asked.

"He was at other musclebound Exceed that helped us," Ruby explained.

"We're right here," said Skullcrusher's voice.

They turned and found Skullcrusher and Cloudjumper, but they seem to have shrunk. They now were the exact same size as Toothless and Stormfly.

"Okay, did not expect that," said Hiccup.

"What happened to you?" Toothless stared.

"It would appear that our previous physique are not well-suited for Midgard," said Skullcrusher.

"Clearly, and that doesn't bother you?" said Stormfly.

"Normally it would," Cloudjumper admitted. "But we agreed that we wanted to join the Dragon Tail guild."

"Indeed, Prince Jellal said that it treated him like family and I would like to see it for myself," said Skullcrusher.

"So how about it?" Cloudjumper asked.

"I think that can be arranged," Hiccup smiled.

"Thank you, said Skullcrusher.

Astrid then looked at Valka. "Valka you still haven't explained how you're still alive, I saw your body disintegrate."

Valka shook her head. "You remember the storm that was over the tower? In truth that was an Anima passing overhead and in my weakened state it sucked me in. I have a feeling that it had something to do with the death of the Edolas Valka and wanted to fill the void.

"I found myself in Edolas, with no idea where I was or how to get back. It was then that I met Cloudjumper and he told me everything and I managed to convince him to be my friend. That's when I found the Edolas Dragon Tail and save them from near destruction. With their guild master dead and now leaderless they look to me as their leader.

"However, I knew that the King was attempting to harm Midgard and when Skullcrusher bought me young Jellal I sent him to Midgard in order to slow his plans. During my time there I managed to trait the formula for the x-balls, restoring my magic power. The rest you know."

"Quite the story," said Hiccup.

"Yes, and one not looking forward to tell Stoick," said Valka closing her eyes. "It's been twenty years since I've last seen him and for that time he thought I was dead. No doubt he blames himself for not trying to save me at the tower and I abandoned him for seven years and my only son."

"I don't blame you," said Hiccup. "And I'm sure neither is Dad. You should at least try."

At the temple in Berk, Stoick was looking down at the grave marker that represented Valka. On it was engraved the words: Valka Haddock, beloved wife and mother, Born ADW 736 Died 777.

Stoick placed a hand on the grave marker. "I wish you were here, Val."

"I am," said a very familiar voice behind him.

His eyes widened and he slowly turned to discover Valka standing there, looking nervous. Behind her were Hiccup and the others and they just stood there in silence. Stoick was totally speechless and felt himself walking towards.

"I know what you're going to say, Stoick," said Valka nervously. "How could I have done this? Stayed away all these years and why I didn't come back to you, to our son? I wanted to, but… it's a long story… I know I left you to raise Hiccup alone and believe me there's not a day when I go by that I wish I was there."

She grew more nervous when Stoick was just a few inches away from her, she wanted to step backwards but her legs wouldn't do what her brain told them.

"Stop being so stoic Stoick," she said furiously. "You're on… shout! Scream! Say something!"

Stoick then placed a hand on her cheek and looked into her eyes. "You're as beautiful as the day…"

Valka then broke into tears and both she and Stoick's lips drew closer. Then they kissed and wrap their arms around each other.

The others just looked on happily, Ruby was actually crying while Hiccup of stood there and felt Astrid placing a hand on his shoulder.

Stoick pulled back and looked at his wife. "Welcome home."
