Hiccup and the Hoffersons walked back into Berk. Darkness was settling in as they walked by the forge. Astrid and the Hoffersons noticed Hiccup eyeing the Haddock hut. "Need to stay somewhere Hiccup?" Hiccup sighed. "No, I've got a place to go. I just need to talk with Stoick." The Hoffersons nodded. Dagmar and Birger heading off down the street while Astrid eyed Hiccup. "You sure you want to do this?" Hiccup bit his lower lip. "Yes, it has to be done. If the gods have layed out our futures, then I must be in the right place to do so." Astrid nodded as Hiccup walked up the hill.

Stoick sighed as he sat down. A knock at the door soon caught his attention. "Yes" Hiccup opened the door and closed it behind him. "Stoick, I think I might've been a little too cruel with what happened last night." Stoick shook his head. "No, it was me who made the mistake by ignoring you all those years. You know. When you were born, you were born early. You mother was sceptical that you'd live onwards. But I never gave up hope. I believed you'd become the strongest one of us all. And, I was right. I'm..."

Hiccup put his hand. "Stoick, I wish to return to the Haddock household." Stoick widen his eyes. "But, you said?" Hiccup smirked. "I know what I said. But that doesn't change what I'm doing now. But what was it you were saying before?" Stoick sighed. "I wasn't proud of how you became the who you are. I'm not proud of how I wasn't a part your childhood. But I want to be a part of your life now."

Hiccup smiled. "Well, it's nice to know that I have two parents to go to now." Stoick widen his eyes. "Valka's alive?" Hiccup nodded. "Yes, but, she has been unable to return because the gods refuse to allow her to. I was taken, along with the Hoffersons to her by dragon. There is a way to achieve peace between us. And the gods, they've set it in motion." Stoick widen his eyes. "But how? We can't find the nest."

Hiccup chuckled. "But we will find it. That second Night Fury is the key. But what she said, was that the dragon inside the nest, is nothing that we've ever seen before. And if we're to judge of what she says. The ones who control the dragons are meant to care for them, not force them to attack us." Stoick kept his cool. Breathing heavily. "So, the dragons are misunderstood. They're meant to leave us alone but can't because their leader forces them to attack us?" Hiccup nodded. "Yes. And, well. I saw a titan wing Inferno King." Stoick widen his eyes. "You saw what?"

Hiccup smiled. "He's the one who controls the Infericus Flame and it's sub-species. They defend dragons. And well, they want this dragon queen gone as much as we do. We do have allies. They're just in the must unlikely places." Stoick sighed. "And even if I did believe all this? Why would we join up with the devils?" Hiccup sighed. "Because, the only to kill a dragon alpha, is with another dragon. Our weapons will do nothing against this queen. But with a dragon, we can harm it." Stoick sighed. "But how would we even get the dragons to work for us?"

"We give them freedom. A choice, continue to be slaves, or end the one who torments them. But, mother will help. When the gods allow her to leave the nest of the titan wing Inferno King." Stoick nodded. "Ok. I will consider this, but now, I need to ask you something. Please be the heir again, I can't leave Berk in the hands of Snoutlout. He just isn't cut out for it." Hiccup smiled. "Thought you'd never ask... Dad"

The nest morning. Hiccup entered the great hall with his father. Snoutlout walked in before finding the heirs chair taken over by Hiccup. "Move fishbones. That's my chair." Hiccup chuckled. "Well, I think my father has something else to say. Snoutlout." Stoick eyed Snoutlout before eyeing the village. "People of Berk. It is with great pride that I reinstate Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third as heir to the tribe. And as my son once more."

The village cheered. "Does anyone have anything to say about this decision." Snoutlout grinned. "I do. Infact, why should someone who's skinny be allowed to rule Berk? If fact, I challenge Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third to a fight to the death over the title of heir to Berk by challenging his honour." The village was silent. Stoick eyed Hiccup. "Hiccup, your honour has been challenged." Hiccup sighed. "I know." Hiccup eyed Snoutlout. "Midday, town centre. Any weapon you wish. And your head." Hiccup then stood up and went outside.

Astrid walked around. 'Where is he?' She thought. 'Perhaps he's at the forge.' She answered herself. Walking to the forge. Sure enough, Hiccup was their. "Hiccup, are you sure you want to do this?" Hiccup stopped hammering. "I have to. If I refuse, Snoutlout will win. And well, I'm sure the gods are on my side. Remember what my mother said. I'm one of the four who are to bring peace to between our two kinds. Snoutlout will have a hard time killing me if the gods have planned this out."

Astrid sighed. "I know. It's just that." Hiccup smiled. "I know Astrid. You want to kill Snoutlout." Astrid shook her head. "No, It's just that..." Hiccup stopped her. "It's almost midday. I must be going." Astrid sighed. "Good luck"

Hiccup stepped out into the town centre. Snoutlout facing him. "Well cousin, ready to die?" Hiccup chuckled. "I wouldn't be so sure about that. Mind, your father might be disappointed in you." Sure enough, Snoutlout found his father shaking his head. "You'll die for that insult Hiccup!" Snoutlout ran forward, bringing his mace up. Hiccup eyed him.

Snoutlout brought his mace down. Hiccup stepped to the side, avoiding the weapon and stepping back. "Really Snoutlout, that's the best you got?" Snoutlout yelled out in rage. Charging forward, bringing his mace from the side, Snoutlout went to bash Hiccup's hip. Hiccup stepped back before throwing a punch. Snoutlout stepped back. Shaking his head from the sudden blow. "Nice punch, but it's going to take more then fishbones."

Hiccup sighed while shaking his head. Pulling back, Hiccup moved forward. Snoutlout stepped back and brought his mace in from below. Hiccup stepped back a bit, grabbing his side in a quick motion. Narrowing his eyes. Hiccup glanced round. 'Hmm, getting him angry isn't going to work. I'm going to have to use my small size to my advantage. Dodge and let him exhaust himself before coming round with a blow of my own.' Hiccup quickly moved to the side, avoiding another swing from Snoutlout.

Stepping forward, Hiccup moved to throw a punch. Snoutlout was quick to move to the side and punch Hiccup from the right. Hiccup stepped to the right. Spitting out a tooth and blood before eyeing Snoutlout. Closing his eyes. Hiccup stepped back. Grabbing his axe, he opened his eyes and charged forward.

Snoutlout was quick to react. Bending down and bring his mace upon Hiccup's legs. Hiccup tripped backwards. Rolling to the side. He smiled and got up. Turning fast, Hiccup grabbed his crossbow and fired a bolt into Snoutlout's lower torso. His armour padding stopping the bolt doing any serious damage. Bitting his lower lip, Hiccup reloaded and fired again.

Snoutlout was quick to move to the side and throw his mace. Hiccup reacted slowly, his cross bow knocked out of his hands and to the ground. Turning fast, Hiccup saw Snoutlout charge forward. Bringing his arms up, Hiccup blocked Snoutlout's initial swing. A quick to the legs sent Hiccup falling to the ground. Snoutlout quickly drew out a dagger and went to stab Hiccup in the arm.

Hiccup acted quickly, moving his left leg up, he delivered a kick to Snoutlout's knee. Forcing him back and to fall over. Using the time, Hiccup stood up and cracked his neck. 'No more going easy Hiccup. No more.' Snoutlout was fast to get to his feet and face Hiccup. "Is that really all you can do fishbones?" Hiccup narrowed his eyes. His fists rolled up. His head was angled down. Glancing up with his eyes. Hiccup eyed Snoutlout closely.

"Insulting me has lead you nowhere Snoutlout." Moving forwards. Hiccup charged. Throwing a punch and knocking Snoutlout back. Snoutlout was quick to recover from the initial punch and thrust himself forward. Kneeing Hiccup in the stomach before coming round with a punch. Using his forehead. Snoutlout smashed Hiccup back. Throwing another punch, he hit Hiccup square in the face.

Hiccup stumbled back before coughing up blood and spitting out another tooth. Wiping some blood from his nose away. Hiccup eyed Snoutlout. His vision was slightly blurry. Shaking his head. Hiccup charged forward. Snoutlout, already warmed up, stepped to the side and tripped Hiccup over. Grabbing Hiccup's axe, Snoutlout walked over to Hiccup and brought the blade down into his back.

Ensuring that it wasn't enough to kill him, Snoutlout withdrew the axe and then kicked Hiccup in the same spot. Grabbing Hiccup by the hair. Snoutlout smirked. "Weren't so tough now are you Fishbones?" Snoutlout soon felt something slip between the gaps of his armour and slip into his heart. Gasping. Snoutlout looked down to see Hiccup remove a dagger.

"Battle fact number one. Never underestimate your opponent" Snoutlout was quick to let his hold over Hiccup go before falling backwards and hitting the ground. Hiccup stood weakly on his legs before smiling at Astrid. His knees giving way as he fell to the ground. Everything going black as he smiled at the loss of a childhood bully.

And um, that's Snoutlout gone.
