Two hours after Hiccup destroyed Snotlout in a fight and the villagers were mind blown.
A villager comments "that was just brutal."
Another villager comments "he's never engage in fighting at that level. It could rival Stoick in battle."
Spitelout came to inspect his son who was unconscious.
He scowls "WHO DID THIS TO MY SON?!"
Starkard answers "it was Hiccup."
Spitelout looks at his son again and sighs "this is just way too much for a simple retaliation."
He carries his unconscious son to Gothi's hut to get healed.
By dinner time, the whole village heard about Hiccup beating the heck out of Snotlout.
Magnus and Brynhild heard about Hiccup beat up Snotlout and grew concerned about Hiccup's state of mind.
Bryan wonder what was wrong with Hiccup to make him so upset.
Astrid sat with her friends, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut.
Hiccup hasn't made an appearance in the village since the fight with Snotlout.
Ruffnut grins "that fight between Hiccup and Snotlout was unbelievable! Snotlout only landed one punch throughout that whole fight."
Tuffnut comments "I wonder what set him off?"
Fishlegs comments "I heard from my parents that Spitelout wants to exile Hiccup from Berk."
A few minutes later, the doors to the Meade hall open to reveal Hiccup standing there looking annoyed with the villagers.
Astrid comments "I think he heard the rumors."
The villagers held their breath in fear of getting his wrath.
Bryan looked at everyone scared of Hiccup and gets up and runs upto Hiccup and ask "are you feeling better, big brother?"
Hiccup bends down to the little boy and says "yes, I'm feeling a lot better after putting my cousin in his place to remember that he can't put his hands on other kids.
The reason why I attacked Snotlout was because he threatened you."
Bryan hugs Hiccup.
Hiccup returns the hug "your welcome, little brother."
Bryan walked back to where his parents are.
Brynhild curious comments "son, Hiccup could still be fuming from his fight with Snotlout."
Bryan shakes his head "no, mom. He beat up Snotlout because he threatened to harm me.
Hiccup walked over to food table and grab two chicken legs and walked over to an empty table and ate his dinner.
Stoick walked over to Hiccup and ask "how are you doing?"
Hiccup answers "I'm doing good."
Stoick curious ask "where did that fighting skill come from?"
Hiccup answers "from wrestling with Toothless and other dragons. Defend against Berserker and Outcast tribe."
Stoick comments "you defeated your cousin in a fight who is the heir. So now the council members have questioned whether to let you become heir again."
Hiccup finished eating his dinner and tells him "that wasn't a fight between me and Snotlout! That was me sending him a retaliation message for him hitting me inside Gothi's hut and threatening Bryan Hofferson!
And you better make Snotlout aware that if he puts his hands on Bryan, I'll break his limbs. Do I make myself clear, Father?!"
Stoick turned white with fear.
Hiccup comments "good. Now I feel that tonight we're going to have a dragon raid tonight and I have to get to my dragon."
He walks to the Meade hall doors and leaves heading through the village towards the forest.
The Hofferson's were busy eating that Bryan snuck out and followed Hiccup through the village and into the forest.
Hiccup stop to gaze around for his line to find where his traps are when he hears Bryan yell "HICCUP!"
Hiccup scolds lightly "Bryan? This is dangerous! Does your parents know your here with me in the forest?!"
Bryan answers "no."
Hiccup runs his hand down his face "come on. Step where I step."
They make their way to the cove entrance.
Hiccup enters between the two rock walls and calls his dragon "Toothless."
Bryan ask "where is your dragon?"
He hears a growl behind him and freezes.
Hiccup turns around to see Toothless in warning mode and ask "Bryan? Do you have any weapons on you?"
Bryan answers "just a small knife."
Hiccup looks upto Toothless and says "Toothless, it's okay, he's a child."
Toothless lit his mouth to light up Bryan to see the child clearer.
Hiccup tells Bryan "hand the knife to me."
Bryan does what Hiccup said and hand the small knife to him.
Toothless tilt his head at the child.
Hiccup crouch down and extends Bryan's arm and turn his head to look away.
Toothless coos at Bryan and touch his snout to Bryan's palm.
Bryan smiles wide feeling the scales of Toothless.
Hiccup tells Bryan "we need to go before your mom panics, wondering where you are."
Bryan ask "how?"
Hiccup grins "flying."
Toothless lays down to allow Bryan to climb up on the saddle.
Hiccup climbs on behind Bryan and grabs the rope to hold while wrapping his other hand around Bryan to hold him.
Toothless takes them on a flight around Berk.
Hiccup tells Toothless "okay, bud. Time to land outside the Hofferson's barn.
Bryan excited ask "can we do that again?!"
Hiccup laughs a little bit "we'll see if your parents will allow it. I know your sister is going to be jealous and mad that I gave you a ride before her."
Bryan ask "you never gave her a ride on Toothless?"
Hiccup sighs "your sister been mean to me after I show that I care about her, so I left without giving her a ride on Toothless. There was a couple of chances, but I decided not to because I fear that she would turn her back on me again."
Bryan comments "I don't know what would cool her anger problem."
Hiccup comments "I better get you home-"
"Why little Hiccup and Brat Hofferson."
Hiccup and Bryan turn to see Snotlout with his head wrapped in a bandage.
Bryan ask "shouldn't you be at home resting?"
"He wanted payback against my orders."
Hiccup and Bryan turn around to see Spitelout standing there.
Bryan ask "Hiccup? How are we going to get out of this?"
Hiccup answers "now, boys. You surely didn't come here to attack a boy and a child of the Hofferson family. Magnus would have both of your heads on spears."
Snotlout grins "we beat you up and kidnap the brat and feed him to a dragon and blame you because you have a dragon friend."
Bryan grins "by the way. Hiccup? Where's Toothless?"
Hiccup answers "behind Spitelout and ready to blast him."
Spitelout turns around to face a Night Fury.
Snotlout scowls at them and punch Hiccup in the back of his head.
Toothless tail whip Spitelout and pounces on Snotlout and roars in his face.
A door opens and a voice yells "WHAT IS GOING ON OUT HERE?!"
Bryan answers "Snotlout and Spitelout were going to make me disappear and have you blame Hiccup for it."
Magnus ask "is that true, Spitelout Jorgenson?"
Spitelout grins "no. Your son is lying."
Hiccup rubs his head and knees Spitelout in the groin "piece of crap."
Magnus sternly orders "Spitelout, take your son and leave. If the Chief refuses to do something about your son, then I'm sure Hiccup will do something far more of a punishment."
Snotlout scoffs "Hiccup can't do anything to me because he's not Chief!"
Hiccup smirks "actually I can take over as Chief of Berk if the current Chief refuses to fulfill his duties and punish his heir because he thinks he can harm anyone he wants to and all I have to do is go grab a few dragons for reinforcements."
Spitelout and Snotlout leave heading to their house.
Magnus turns to the boys and says "you are in trouble."
Hiccup comments "I didn't know that he snuck out of the Meade hall to follow me to get Toothless."
Magnus turns to his son and says "your mom was wondering where you went."
Hiccup comments "I need to feed Toothless some fish in case we have a Dragon raid with in two hours.
I trust that you tried getting the villagers to collect eels to scare the dragons and tie some to the sheep, boars, and put the chickens in a barn with the doors bar with eels?"
Magnus answers "I was able to convince the villagers to tie eels to their sheep, boars and stick their chickens in the barn, but may I ask why?"
Hiccup answers "only Typhoomerang dragons eat eels. Other dragons don't them because it makes them sick.
And if anyone intentionally feed them eels, They'll go three rounds with me and how I fought Snotlout, I'll be determined to literally kill that person."
Magnus comments "you really care about dragons?"
Hiccup answers "I was linked to dragons the night I got cut by a dragon in a accident. I also shot down a Night Fury to make a friend because I didn't really have anyone besides Gobber and Gothi."
Magnus sighs "my wife was mad at me for a week after you snap at everyone in the Meade hall."
Hiccup comments "I'm going to go feed Toothless for firepower" and leaves the yard.
Magnus turns around to go back inside his house.
Astrid ask "did Hiccup leave?"
Magnus answers "yes, he did, daughter."
Astrid comments "Bryan told me that Hiccup introduced him to Toothless and gave him a ride and has never gave me a ride."
Magnus ask "did he tell Bryan why?"
Astrid answers "yes, because he's worried that if he did a nice thing for me, that I would hurt him later again."
Magnus ask "and how many times did that happen between you two?"
Astrid answers "twice. First after my tenth birthday, then the second time was after winter season when he came here to care for me and keep me warm and feed. I didn't even know he could cook fish."
Twenty minutes later, the blow horn rung signaling dragon raid.
Hiccup climbs on top of Toothless's saddle and began to defend the villagers from dragons.
Some of the villagers listened to Magnus and scared the dragons away with dead eels.
Others fought dragons with their swords or axes.
Bryan got separated from Brynhild when a Monstrous Nightmare chased after them.
Brynhild panics when she realizes that Bryan was separated from her.
Bryan ran screaming in a panic with the Nightmare chasing him.
Toothless shot a blast at the Nightmare.
Hiccup jumped off of Toothless's saddle and Toothless engaged in battle with the Nightmare.
Hiccup ran upto Bryan and reassured him that he's safe.
Toothless roared at the Monstrous Nightmare after pinning him to the ground.
The Monstrous Nightmare warblers in defeat and flee with the rest of the dragons.
Bryan ask "are you the one who was chosen to end the dragon raids?"
Hiccup sighs "yes."
Bryan ask "do you know what the cause of our dragon raids?"
Hiccup sighs "I'm not ready to face a hundred foot tall dragon."
They head home to the Hofferson's house.
Toothless followed behind them.
The raid ended and Stoick ask the warriors "what have we lost?"
The men answers "none because they could smell eels on them."
Starkard comments "the eels stopped the dragons from taking the livestock."
Spitelout ask "what does eels have to scare dragons?"
Starkard answers "Hiccup told Magnus to tell the farmers to put eels on our livestock and storage shed."
Brynhild runs upto Magnus and panics "I lost Bryan from being chased by a Monstrous Nightmare!"
Stoick and Magnus gaped in shock "WHAT?!"
Astrid walks upto her parents with Fishlegs, injured Snotlout and the twins.
She ask "has anyone seen Hiccup? Mom? What's wrong?"
Brynhild cries "I lost your baby brother!"
Astrid runs to go find Hiccup.
(In the Hofferson's house)
Bryan comments "I wonder when your next date with my big sister going to be."
Hiccup answers "your parents should be coming home by now."
Magnus, Brynhild and Astrid walk in the front door and gaped in shock to see Bryan alive.
Brynhild ask "your alive?! I thought the Monstrous Nightmare killed you!"
Hiccup comments "told you, your parents would be worried about you."
Bryan smirks back "when are you going to marry my sister?"
Hiccup answers "we're still in the friends stage."
Bryan comments "you have until this winter season at the end of this year to announce that your going to marry my sister."
Brynhild laughs "he really wants a big brother."
Hiccup comments "I'm going to go check the damage now that your here to care for your son."
He leaves the Hofferson's house and walks down to the Meade hall after seeing that there wasn't much damage done.
He grabs a mug and fills it with an ounce of mead and water and pour honey into it and says "this calls for alcohol for stress relief."
A couple of villagers gape in shock that twelve year old Hiccup is drinking alcohol.
Stoick walked in with Gobber.
A villager tells Stoick "Hiccup is over there drinking honey mead."
Stoick gape in shock and turned angry that his son was drinking mead.
Gobber put his hand up to stop Stoick from getting mad and do something that he would regret later and says "let me take care of this" and walked over to where Hiccup was sitting down.
He sat down and ask "since when did you start drinking honey mead?"
Hiccup answers "during the three months I was fighting dragon hunters and trappers and got captured. A man named Viggo Grimborn decided to get me drunk so I would be talking about where I hide the dragons.
Instead, I talked about my memories of being betrayed by my birth home and told them that I didn't really have a home to live in anymore."
Gobber sighs "I'm sorry about that, Iccup."
Hiccup comments "it's okay because I found my mom and been learning from her and made a base there."
Stoick sat down and ask "Valka is alive?"
Hiccup sighs "yes, my mother is alive."
Gobber ask "does Valka know that you drink mead?"
Hiccup answers "yes and I told her that it was because I wanted to get rid of my memories of Berk."
Stoick confused ask "I thought you were forgiving us?"
Hiccup shakes his head "no, Stoick. You all turn your back on me and Outcast me. The only reason I put up with you all is because I care about Bryan Hofferson because he cares about me as well."
He pours himself another mug of honey mead and water.
By ten o'clock, he was drunk and stumbled out down to the forge and collapse on his cot.
In the morning, the horn blew signaling that a visiting tribe was coming.
Everyone stood at the ramp to see three Berserker ships dock.
Stoick and Gobber wonder what Oswald wanted.
The Berserker announcer announced "presenting Chief of Berserker, Dagur the Deranged!"
Stoick and Gobber along with the rest of Berk.
Gobber comments "this doesn't sound good."
Dagur walked off his flag ship and looked around and ask "Stoick, did Hiccup come here? He refused to help me capture a dragon that I wanted and burned down five of my ships."
Stoick answers "he's unavailable at the moment."
Dagur comments "oh so you wouldn't mind turning him over to me in order to save your tribe?"
Spitelout answers before Stoick could answer "why certainly, Dagur. He is somewhere drunk.
Unknown, ten ships were unloading men to ambush the tribe from the woods.
The men ran into traps like sticks getting launched into their chest or spring release.
Trap doors, rope hang.
One man ran out of the woods and yells "The forest was lined with traps to kill."
Dagur gape "WHAT?!"
Hiccup stumbles out of the forge and walks over to the crowd of villagers when Snotlout grabbed him.
Spitelout escorted him to the front and shoved him into Dagur's arms.
Dagur laughs "why little Hiccup, you don't look so good."
Hiccup comments "last night, I was drinking honey mead to drown out my memories. If you come for me, give me two hours and I'll be ready to take you on."
Dagur chuckles "your funny, Hiccup."
They leave with Hiccup.
Stoick ask "what the heck did you just do, Spitelout Jorgenson?!"
Spitelout answers "I saved us."
Gobber shakes his head "no, you just threw away our future."
Astrid and Bryan arrived to see everyone.
Snotlout flirts with Astrid "why babe, you won't believe this but Dagur came here for useless and we handed him over to save us and now we can start courting."
Bryan gape "you did what?!"
Astrid ask "why would you do that for?"
Bryan ask "how? Hiccup would have beat you up for touching him."
Snotlout answers "he was dealing with a hangover from drinking honey mead last night."
Magnus ask "he was drinking alcohol?!"
Spitelout answers "apparently, he been drinking for the three months that he was gone to erase the memories of being outcast."
