So, in summery, Hiccup is plagued by what happened when he was captured by Viggo, while Astrid is trying to free him. Which is easier said than done. Also, Hiccup wonders why they're here.

Shorter chapter because Hiccup goes through some stuff in this one.

Oh, Viggo comes back. Just not in the way you think...

Enjoy!

"Stop it, Snotlout! I know you're dead! Just stop!"

Astrid's heart went out to Hiccup. He was plagued by the memories that had overtaken him in Viggo's dungeon. Even now, he still sometimes had trouble differentiating between what was real.

"C'mon, Hiccup! I'm right here!"

"No, you're not. I watched you die!"

I-AURGH! Astrid, could you come take care of your boyfriend, please?"

She sighed. Even though they had gotten Hiccup back, he still had moments of believing that they had all died.

"Hiccup?"

He whipped around, gaze softening immensly. "Astrid? W-What's happening to me?"

She sat on the bench in the clubhouse and motioned for him to sit beside her. "I don't know, Hiccup. But I promised to stay beside you, and I'm not breaking that promise."

Hiccup shuddered. "I don't know why this is happening. It's like my mind reverts to them being dead. It turns out that I am my own worst enemy." He chuckled mirthlessly. "I guess I am truly Useless."

"Hiccup, stop. You aren't useless. You came back! That's hardly being useless."

He groaned. "But I can't stop this! I go outside, see someone, and get paralysed by the thought of them behind dead."

Astrid sighed. "We'll figure this out. Maybe if we took down Viggo?"

"I'd take anything at this point. But, I wouldn't be able to get near Viggo. I can barely walk out to the clubhouse."

"Then we'll take care of Viggo. Well, the other guys will. You and I are going to focus on getting you better."

Hiccup looked confused. "How? If taking out Viggo is the only option, I got nothing."

"We'll find a way. Even if we never fix this, I'll still stand by you."

Hiccup sat on his bed, trying to think of a way to one-up Viggo, when he appeared.

So, you're trying to find a way to beat me, hmm?

Hiccup groaned and cradled his head in his hands.

You do realise you can never beat me? No matter what, I'm still going to be in your head. Sure, maybe you think Astrid is alive, and maybe you think you're free, but the truth is, you're not. You're still stuck in my prison. All that's left is for Ryker to come in there and murder your friends, your family.

"No."

You will die. Your friends will die. And all that you've fought for will be lost.

"NO!"

Astrid quickly ran into the room. "Hiccup?"

He collapsed to the floor. "I can't get him out of my head."

She sat down beside him and held him in her arms. "You have to fight it, Hiccup. You have to. Don't listen to him. You can't."

After innumerable minutes, Hiccup gasped. "He's gone."

Astrid held him tighter. "Hiccup, what was that?"

He sighed. "Viggo. He's in my head, trying to get me to doubt. How do we beat someone who is inside me?"

Astrid sat down beside Heather. "I need your help."

She nodded. "Ok, what is it?"

Astrid sighed. "I need you to go to Berk and ask Gothi for anything and everything she has that have to do with the effects of hallucinations."

Heather frowned. "Is this about Hiccup?"

She nodded. "His time with Viggo has effected him more than we thought. I would go, but I may be the only person he'll not go berserk around."

At 'berserk', Dagur glanced at her. Astrid sighed. "Sorry, Dagur. Not you. Hiccup."

The former Berserker Chief walked over. "You have to stay beside my brother, no matter what. He's too important to the cause to be ruined by Viggo and his Dragon Hunters. Heather and I will make them pay for what they did, you just stay here and watch Hiccup. He needs you, Astrid."

She nodded. "I was going to stay with him. You guys just make sure the Riders are safe." Astrid sighed. "As of this moment, Hiccup and I are no longer a part of the Dragon Riders. We won't be until Hiccup has fully recovered from what happened."

Heather stood. "I should probably get going. How bad is Hiccup?"

"Bad. He was yelling at Viggo."

Both Heather and Dagur's eyes widened. "But...Viggo's not here."

Astrid sighed. "That's what makes it bad. I don't know how long it'll be until we lose him completely, and I am not willing to do that."

So, we all feel sorry for Hiccup, and we all want to kill Viggo. Do I have that right? I feel like I do.

Hiccup is going to have a very hard time with the voices coming up. Kinda reminds me of me. All of my angry readers haunting me. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

In all seriousness, Astrid has her work cut out for her. Which means I do too. Joy. Stupid Viggo.

Thanks for reading!
