Chapter 38: Cast Out part 1

Ocean was at the forest with her dragons plus Ember and Lucky. They were collecting herbs for Gothi.

"Hey, Ember, don't you think you should find a mate or something?" Vamp asked perched on Nightshade's saddle.

Ember snorted, "Ah, no, there is no way I'm getting a mate." She growls.

"Why not?" Vamp asked.

"It's because, all the Typhoomerangs will flirt with me."

"Come on!" Vamp chirps, "Nightshade has Toothless as a mate. Ruby has Ace as a mate-"

"Ace and I are just friends." Ruby hissed.

"Whatever," Vamp waves his claw, "Black Crystal and Strike are mates and Ocean and Jack are mates!"

Ocean face blushed a little, "Jack and I are only friends, Vamp! Not mates!" she said really fast.

Ocean's Dragons blinked at her, "Okay…" Vamp said.

Then they heard Astrid's scream. They look up to see Astrid falling!

"Nightshade!" Ocean roars.

Nightshade took off. Astrid hits some tree branches and she was about to crash but Nightshade caught her just in time. As Nightshade gently puts Astrid down, Ocean checks on her. Ocean took out a medical lotion and rubs it on Astrid. Eventually, the riders landed, Hiccup and Fishlegs went over to the girls.

"Ocean, is Astrid okay?" Fishlegs asked.

"She's fine, hurt, but fine." Ocean said.

Then Astrid woke up, "What happen?" she asked, as Ocean helps her up.

Then Hookfang landed, "That's right! That's how Snotlout retreats he doesn't! Click-click-boom! [Laughs]"

Everyone gave him an annoyed looks, "What? Why are you all looking at me? I mean, listen, I know why you're all looking at me." Snotlout brags. Hiccup grunts in annoyance, "What? It's Hiccup's stupid exercise."

"You have no idea what you did, do you?" Ocean asked narrowing her eyes.

"Ah, yeah, Hookfang and I made the coolest trick shot ever." Snotlout answered.

"No, You almost got Astrid killed!" Ocean said, a bit angry.

"Come on, she's fine." Snotlout said, "Look at her."

"No thanks to you." Astrid said before charging at Snotlout, luckily Hiccup stops her, "Okay, all right. Easy there, Astrid." Hiccup tries to stop her.

"I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna take your helmet." Astrid said before walking away. "And shove it up your dirty, little, rotten"

"That's it." Hiccup said. "I'm tired of this. I am tired of this!"

"What are you tired of?"

"You always have to do things your way."

"Yeah, well guess what? I look out for number 1 and one A." Snotlout said.

"Exactly. How can we rely on you if you don't do what we ask?" Hiccup asked.

"So? What are you saying, Hiccup?" Snotlout asked.

"I'm saying, until further notice, you're suspended from the academy." Hiccup said arms crossed.

"What?" Snotlout asked in disbelief.

Everyone was shock and amaze on Hiccup's words. "You can't ground me." Snotlout said, "You're not my Dad!"

"Yes, I can!" Hiccup said.

"Oh, really? Watch! Ground this, dragon boy!" Snotlout gets on Hookfang and flies off.

"Uh, am I wrong in thinking grounding means staying on the ground?" Tuffnut asked stupidly, "Because that looks an awful lot like, uh, skying."

"Don't you mean flying?" Ocean corrected.

"You didn't have to do that for me, Hiccup." Astrid said.

"[Sighs], If we can't count on him during practice, how can we possibly count on him the next time we run into Dagur?" Hiccup asked.

"He's right." Ocean said, walking over to them, "If Snotlout doesn't listen or obey he'll end up getting killed or someone else."

The Riders went home to call it a day; Ocean went over to Gothi and gives her the herbs before going home. As she did, she saw Achilles training with Jack.

"Hey Jack." Ocean greeted.

Jack and Achilles stop training, "Hey Ocean." Jack greeted.

"What are you boys up too?"

"Jack was teaching me to use a spear." Achilles said.

"Really? That was nice of you Jack." Ocean smiles

Jack blush a little but return the smile. Then the other Speakers with their dragons came, "Hey guys! Watcha doing?" Raven asked getting off of Flame with Smoky perched on her shoulder.

"Jack was teaching Achilles how to use a spear." Ocean said.

"Cool." Hono said setting down Ronald and Roscoe.

"Hey, did you guys want to know something?" Vamp asked.

"What?" the Snaptrapper asked in sync.

"Snotlout got suspended." Vamp said.

"Really?" Sunset asked in shock.

"Yes, he nearly got Astrid killed." Ocean grumbles.

"He did what?!" Raven and Sapphire roar.

"You heard her." Ember said, "Snotlout almost got Astrid killed."

"Is she alright?" Static asked.

"Yeah she'll be fine." Nightshade said.

They all went to the academy to see Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs with their dragons. As they enter, they saw the Thorston twins doing something in Snotlout's pen.

"So, let me guess, Snotlout is out flying?" Hiccup asked.

"You didn't hear it from us." Tuffnut said.

"And what are you two doing?" Daniel asked, in his dragon form, holding Calenthe while Amethyst and Sparky perched themselves on his shoulders.

"Well, we figured with Snotlout kicked out of the academy and our pen next to his, we'd knock down a wall, create kind of a better flow." Tuffnut said.

Everyone stares at him. "It's a Feng Shui Obviously, in remembrance of Snotlout." Tuffnut said, "He, he will be forgotten will, sorry, will not be forgotten." He corrected.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I didn't kick him out of the academy." Hiccup said, "He's just on temporary suspension."

"Well, what choice do you have after his flagrant disregard for your leadership?" Tuffnut said, "I mean; he deserves to have his pen merged with another pen!"

"Yeah, the only remaining choice is total expulsion, or you run the risk of losing the respect of the other riders." Ruffnut said.

"Wow, they actually have a point." Raven said.

"And we're not just saying that because we plan on putting curtains right here." Ruffnut said.

"I'm good with fabrics." Tuffnut said holding a purple clothe, "Who knew? I also do some needlepoint."

Hiccup took the fabric and throws it, "No one is knocking down anything. I will talk to Snotlout when he comes back." Hiccup said.

"If he ever comes back." Achilles mutters.

At the beach in the afternoon, Jack was at the beach with his brothers. They were sitting in the sand near the water.

"Hey Jack?" Splash asked.

Jack looks at him, "Yes?"

"Are you going to tell Ocean that you love her?" he asked.

Jack blush a little, "Not yet until Snoggletog." He grumbles.

Then they heard Hookfang's roar. They look up to see Hookfang carrying two passengers.

Jack gets on Finn before taking off. As they landed they saw someone dropping Snotlout's body in the ground.

"Is that Snotlout?" A Viking woman asked.

"Is he dead?" A Viking man asked.

"Viking funeral!" Raven yells.

Everyone cheers until Snotlout wakes up. "No, no funeral. Not dead." He said.

"Aww." Everyone whines.

"Come on! Come on!" Stoick walks past them, with Skullcrusher, wearing a saddle, Hiccup and Toothless. "Okay, okay. What's going on here? Who is-"

Stoick was cut off when he saw him.

"I captured him." Snotlout said before fainting.

There standing tall was Alvin the Treacherous.

"Alvin?" Everyone exclaims.

At the Great Hall all the villagers were there.

"Alvin the Treacherous you are hereby charged with the following crimes: treachery, attempted treachery, premeditated treachery, conspiracy to commit treachery, and well, you get the idea!" Gobber yells holding a paper.

All the villagers were yelling, wanting his head.

"Settle down, everyone." Ocean yells calming everyone.

"Alvin the Treacherous, you will be remanded to our jail until a proper sentence can be handed down." Stoick said.

"Is this how you treat a man who saved a valuable life?" Alvin asked hands shackled.

"Valuable?" Ruffnut asked in confusion.

"Snotlout?" Tuffnut asked.

"Yuk!" Raven spat.

"I know you, Alvin." Stoick said, "You didn't do this for Snotlout. You did it for yourself."

"What could I possibly have to gain from coming here? I did it for us both, Stoick." Alvin said, "I have a proposition for you."

"Not interested." Stoick said, "That's it, everyone! Go home."

"Hiccup!" Bell runs over to him, "Snotlout just woke up and he told us that there was an earthquake when he landed on the island."

"Well, that's fantastic news." Hiccup said, "Come on."

At the Academy, Tuffnut was hanging a shark skin fabric in the wall but it fell. He tried it do again but it fall again he did it again and again and again while Ruffnut puts a flower vase on the table.

The Riders, minus Snotlout, and the Speakers were flying around as their dragons fired the floor, except for Daniel, Hono and Sapphire who are dragon shifters.

"Come on, you guys, focus." Hiccup said, "We need to figure out a way to stop the Screaming Death from reaching Berk."

Then Hookfang enters, hitting Meatlug on the progress. Meatlug crashes along with Fishlegs.

"Hey, everyone! Did you miss me? Of course you did." Snotlout said getting off of Hookfang. "Ha! Why do I even ask?"

Everyone gave him the blank while the Thorston twins were disappointed.

"Oh, great." Tuffnut said, "Can't return this fabric."

Then the fabric fell on him and Ruffnut snickered. "Snotlout, I'm very happy you're okay." Hiccup said.

"Oh, me? Ha! I'm more than okay." Snotlout said.

"You broke the rules, again." Hiccup added. "And you almost got yourself killed in the process."

"Again." Jack said.

"So?"

"So, you're still suspended." Hiccup said.

"What?" Snotlout exclaims.

The Thorston twins were happy, "All right! Back in business, and ain't it fine? Doing curtains all the time" Tuffnut sang.

"I captured Alvin the Treacherous!" Snotlout said.

"Weren't you unconscious when you captured him?" Astrid asked.

"Unconscious like a fox." Snotlout said.

"Uh, that doesn't even make sense to me, and I am foxy like a badger." Tuffnut said then fells down with the fabric.

"Unh! Look, nothing's changed." Hiccup said, "You're still suspended. I'm sorry. Come on, Hookfang." Hiccup gestured Hookfang to follow.

Hookfang followed him sadly.

"You can't do this, Hiccup! You can't take away my dragon." Snotlout said but Hiccup puts Hookfang in his pen.

"Hookfang." Snotlout said sadly.

"Orders are orders, Snotlout." Hookfang croons. Then Tuffnut poke his out in the bars of the cage, "Uh, hello? Viking in the dragon pen, Guys?"

At the beach, Ocean was looking at the water in a cold night with Nightshade, Ruby and Vamp by her side.

"Ocean?"

Ocean turns to see Jack, holding his cloak, with his brothers. "What are you doing here?" he asked walking over to her.

"I was just thinking." Ocean said looking back at water.

"About?"

"Alvin saving Snotlout, I mean we all know that he's a bad guy but he just someone else's life." Ocean said.

"Yeah, the worst kind of life." Ruby mutters.

Ocean sighs, "I don't know if it's a good idea imprisoning him."

Jack looks at her. He knows she was confused and shock but also worried, "I don't know either but sometimes people change." He said.

Ocean looks at him and smiles before shivering due to the cold wind. Jack puts his cloak on Ocean to keep her warm from the cold. Ocean blush a little also Jack.

"T-thanks Jack." Ocean smiled.

Jack smiled back then stops when their eyes locked together. They were in a trance neither of them moves. Their dragons watched in excitement, except for Fin and Splash they were too young to know romance. Jack leans down and Ocean looks at him. Their faces came closer as they close their eyes but was cut off when they heard a loud roar.

"What was that!?" Jack exclaims.

Ocean closes her eyes and feel the auras, "Outcasts and Berserkers are here!" she yells, "And I can feel a dragon root in the academy."

"We have to tell the others!" Jack said.

Ocean nodded as she gets on Nightshade along with Ruby and Vamp. Jack gets on Finn then they took off.

At the academy, Dagur gave Hiccup a choice to choose his friends life or Toothless.

"The answer is, we run you through and open the gate ourselves." Stoick said, with Army of Berkians and Speakers. Ocean's dragon friends were there. Everyone fought; Ace and his pack paralyzed many Berserkers and Outcasts. The Speakers helped out a lot. Bellator and the Boneknappers use their roar to send Berserkers and Outcast. Then Alvin came and he and Stoick fought together. Stoick opens the gate. "Fishlegs, this way! We'll cover you!"

"Come on, girl, you can do this!" Fishlegs encourage.

Meatlug flies away with the dragon root but accidently hitting Stoick on the process, "Sorry, chief!"

Meanwhile at the ring, the dragon calm down and their Riders went over to them.

"Come here, you stupid dragon." Snotlout said before hugging Hookfang. "I love you."

"Oh, you guys." Tuffnut said to Barf and Belch, "Thanks for not killing us. Well, thanks for not killing me. [Chuckles] Could've done with one less nut, if you know what I'm saying."

"Hiccup!"

Everyone turns to see Stoick tied up, next to him is Dagur, who chuckles mischievously, and Savage.

"Dad!" Hiccup exclaims.

"Nobody make a move." Dagur said pointing a sword at Stoick.

"Dagur." Raven spat.

"We'll be leaving now, and if I see one dragon following us, rider or not, you're gonna be looking for a new chief. [Laughs] We'll be in touch! Bye-bye." Dagur said before leaving with Stoick.

"Okay, we take the South pass, cut them off at the beach, and smash their boats. Before they even-" Hiccup was cut off.

"Hiccup, calm down." Ocean said.

"Don't do it, boy." Gobber said, "You back a man like that into a corner; you may not like the outcome."

"Especially when that man travels with a 100-ship armada." Raven added.

"But I have to save my father!" Hiccup exclaims.

"Dagur is not gonna hurt your father, yet." Alvin said, "Stoick is not what he wants."

"He's right." Gobber said.

"You want me to trust him?" Hiccup asked in disbelief.

"If there's one thing Alvin knows, Hiccup, its treachery." Ocean said.

Hiccup looks at the ocean, "Don't worry, Dad." Hiccup said. "We're gonna get you back, no matter what it takes."
