Well, here is chapter 5! We are coming back to the Viking-Scotts war for this one, but there is something advancing the story at the end.

So, here you go! Enjoy and please review!

True to his word, Hiccup returned home with Toothless 2 days after he departed for his assignment.

As he landed back on the shores of his home island and as soon as he dismounted his dragon, Hiccup was greeted by his father, who was worried about his son's safety during the time he was away. "It's good to see you are back home safe, son." Stoick told Hiccup as he embraced him with a hug that almost crushed Hiccup's bones.

"It's good to see you as well, dad." The young Viking managed to breathe out before his father released him.

"So, did you manage to update the map of DunBroch?" Stoick asked him.

Hiccup pulled out what once was a simple drawing of the castle. It was now a full out map, that showed all the surrounding area of the castle. "I tried my best to get all sides of the castle, so that we will have a lot to work with. I think we have enough in order to plan an attack, either from the sea or the air."

Stoick examined the map, looking at all the details that his son put in this re-imagining of the enemy kingdom. "Good job, Hiccup!" Stoick slapped him on the shoulder, apparently a bit too strong in order to cause the young man to lose a bit of footing. "That's my boy!"

As the 2 started to head to the great hall, Toothless following behind them, Stoick asked Hiccup another question. "Did you encounter any un-needed company while you were there?"

Hiccup's mind suddenly flashed back to the red-headed girl with the bow and arrows. "Umm… There was this girl that found us, she had some hair. I don't think I ever saw someone with that amount of hair before." He trailed off as he described the girl he came across, Hiccup suddenly realized that he sounded too impressed with her and quickly changed the tone. "She had an accent, which suggested she was a local; and she didn't took seeing a stranger too kindly."

Stoick sharply turned in his son's direction. "Did she attack you?" He asked slightly concerned, even though he saw Hiccup was in one piece… minus the left leg.

"She aimed a bow at me." He replied simply before reassuring his father that he wasn't hurt. "But Toothless tackled her, and then we flew away. I was just done packing when she showed up." Hiccup finished.

Stoick let out a breath of relief. "I'm glad that you are home safe." He said while petting Hiccup's shoulder. "Now, let's go meet Astrid. We have an attack to plan." The Viking king said as he and Hiccup resumed their walk towards the great hall. "I can't wait to see their faces once you and the rest of the riders show up on the dragons!" He said out loud with excitement in his voice.

"Yeah…!" Hiccup tried to share his father's enthusiasm but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was worried about that girl he met for some reason. She was an enemy to him, why should he care? As he started to think about the matter, he felt something slamming into his head. He turned around to see Toothless giving him a questioning look and his tail lowering to the ground. "And what is your problem exactly?" Hiccup asked his dragon, who just had a look that seemed not impressed on his face.

Back in the castle of DunBroch, Fergus started training his soldiers for an extended time per day. What would usually be an hour long training, to keep the king's army in shape for an emergency, was now a 3 hours long training in order for everyone to be ready for war. Each warrior took turns with trying to fight with swords, hammers and spears so that they will be able to adapt to use any weapon mid-battle.

Queen Elinor sent letters to the lords of the other Scottish clans as soon as Merida informed her and Fergus about the supposed attack. They arrived faster then she thought they will, and they, along with their own armies and sons, joined Fergus in his training. One day of training involved all 4 armies going against the king and 3 lords, an exercise that ended up pretty well for both the leaders, and their armies.

While Fergus and the lords handled close range combat, Merida was put in charge of training the arches. Seeing how she was considered the best archer in the land, it only made sense that she will be the one handling that part of training. Not long ago, Merida had managed to shot an arrow straight into another arrow, cutting it in half. She had done that trick several times, and was now teaching her people how to replicate the action. Allowing arrows to cut through stuff was pretty essential.

As the first day of training was done, and everyone retired for bed, Fergus asked Merida if she talked to their friends from another universe. "Ah talked ta Sonic yesterday, he said they will help as." She told him, which caused her father to smile.

"Akay then. We train the saldiers ta the best we can, and that hedgehog and his friends will bi a great assistance ta aur side." He told her before both retired themselves.

After 5 days of preparing everything. Strategies, weapons, positions, and everything else needed for the attack; the Vikings were now reading the ships for the attack on the Scottish lands.

A travel to DunBroch took about 4 days of sailing through the seas, while it only took a day on a dragon's back. Stoick used that knowledge to tell Hiccup and the other dragon riders to leave Berk 3 days after the ships. Even though the Viking army grew larger with the merging of all the tribes, the strong point was still the dragons and Stoick was persistent that both armies would be synced.

Eventually, the attack day has arrived. The ships reached the DunBroch shore, Stoick was the first to set foot on the land. As the rest of the warriors prepared for battle, Fergus and his army mounted their horses as soon as they have heard about Viking ships approaching from the sea.

As Fergus, the lords, and their armies rode to face the north threat, Merida and the archers took position on one of the hill sides, where they had a view of the battlefield; and while they prepared their bows, Hiccup and the rest of the riders arrived on their dragons, keeping them steady and out of sight for the time being.

Eventually, both Scotts and Vikings met at one point of the forest. Stoick and Fergus looked at each other, no friendliness in neither of their eyes.

"King Fergus." Stoick spat.

"Stoick The Vast." Fergus said with double the distaste in his mouth. "Ah see ye savages gat bigger then last tame."

"Let's cut the formalities and end this." Stoick said before letting out what was interpreted as an attack scream.

"Attack!" Fergus screamed as well.

Both enemy groups charged ahead, ready to get their hands dirty with blood. But as soon as the 2 leaders were about to engage in combat… Both armies disappeared. No trails, no signs of everything causing this, they just vanished out the face of the earth.

Hiccup couldn't believe his eyes. How did anyone just disappear? "Did you guys see that?" He asked his dragon riding friends; but there was no answer. Hiccup's friends disappeared too, along with their dragons. Hiccup was left speechless, how was this possible? With no real options left for him, he turned to Toothless. "We have to get back to Berk as fast as we can, Toothless. I hope everyone left back there is okay."

Hiccup wasn't the only one noticing the strange event; Merida caught sight of it too. And much to her shock, all of her archer army vanished, as well as Angus. "What is gaing an?" She was surprised by this as a thought came to her mind. "Mum and the bays!" She exclaimed to herself as she ran as fast as she could back to the castle.

So yeah. What is up with everyone dissappearing? Well, you will have to wait and see about that one.

And wait is right because, what can you do, there will be another week long break before the next chapter is up. Sadly.

Well, anyway, enjoy what we have and please review!
