A/N: The long awaited Outcast chapter! I hope you enjoy it! Please note I have not seen the tv show in it's entirety and I understand the Outcasts are recurring so I apologize if anything that happens later in the show makes anything in this chapter inaccurate. Thank you for the prompts and I would certainly welcome more. And thank you for reading and reviewing!

"Hurry, Daddy, hurry!" Alvis called running down Thor's beach, tripping on twigs and getting sand in his hair.

"Hey slow down there, pal, you…" Hiccup began but the words dried in his throat.

He saw a war ship coasting toward the beach.

None of their ships were out to sea.

"Alvis, get out of here, go get your mother, go!"

"…Who's on that ship, Daddy?"

"Never mind, just do what I tell you!"

"'Do what I tell ya'. My, but you turned out like Stoick, dinnae, me boy?"

Hiccup turned around to face a large, smelly, bearded man with a chipped tooth.

Alvin the Treacherous.

"AL, RUN!"

Alvis tried to run between the Outcast's legs but he just picked the boy up and inspected him while he struggled.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Stoick's welp's welp. I was hopin' for the Dragon Boy, but you'll do."

"LET HIM GO!"

Hiccup's lunge at Alvin was cut by a ball-and-rope twisting around his ankles and a sickening crash.

The other Outcasts had made their way to land from their ship on rowboats and Hiccup had to look on in terror as they hauled Alvis away.


Back on his ship, Alvin wrestled with Alvis who was still trying to get free.

"'Eh, none of that, now. Yer daddy can't get to ya, so you may as well settle down an' get comfortable."

"No! Put me down! Daddy!"

"I said, ya daddy cannae hear you…Alvis, was it? We almost have the same name. Isn't that neat, kiddo? Why don't you and I just be friends, like."

"NO!"

Alvis bit down hard on his hand. Alvin shrieked and dropped him.

Alvis immediately scrambled backwards, drew his knife, and leveled it at Alvin.

Alvin laughed heartily.

"The laddie's got fight! Lemme guess, ya mum's the blonde what always trailed 'round yer father. Now she had fight in 'er."

"How come you know Mommy and Daddy?" Alvis demanded. "And how come you hurt Daddy and took me?"

"Now that there's an interesting question, little gov." Alvin sneered, walking menacingly toward him. "Y'see whereas yer daddy made it so dragons don't attack ye no more, our island wasn't so lucky. I want Hiccup the Dragon Trainer to tame our dragons and he's going to do it because I have you."

He leaned in closer, taking the knife from him.

"And if you know anything about dragons, that will help too."


Back on Berk, Astrid was wondering where her husband and son had gotten to. It wasn't like either of them to miss breakfast.

"C'mon, baby girl." She said picking up Freya and heading to the beach. "Let's find Daddy and Big Brother, okay?"

"Guh…" Freya pointed a stubby finger.

"What is it, baby…oh, gods."

Hiccup was furiously tugging at his restraints in the distance.

Astrid put Freya down on the soft sand and tried to help him.

"Astrid, they took Al, the Outcasts took Al." Hiccup sobbed.

"Oh, no." Astrid breathed. "Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out of here, we'll call an emergency meeting, we'll get him back, Hiccup."

Her voice cracked as she slit the rope with a knife.

Hiccup got to his feet and dashed to Freya, holding her close.

In less than an hour, the whole village was in the mess hall chattering anxiously.

Stoick was at the head of the table flanked by his son and daughter-in-law. He kept a straight face but Hiccup could tell he was seething and sick with worry.

The twins and Fishlegs grimly joined them. Gobber looked ready to punch something.

"Dad, what happened to Al?" Sven asked Snotlout as his father pushed his way to the table. "Is he gonna be okay?"

"You bet he is. Hiccup!" Snotlout called. "I will personally kill everyone on Outcast Island and get Alvis back."

"We all will." Tuffnut growled.

"Thanks, guys." Hiccup tried to smile.

"We leave at nightfall." Stoick said evenly to the mess hall at large. "Anyone in the raiding party, be at the docks by then. Dismissed."

Stoick sighed heavily with his face in his hands.

"I am so sorry this happened, son."

"It's not your fault, Dad."

"Yes it is. It's my job to protect this island, and I can't even protect my own… grandson..."

"He'll be okay." Hiccup promised. "I hope."


Meanwhile, Alvin's ship had landed on Outcast Island. He pushed Alvis down the ramp, his arms tied behind his back to prevent him from attacking anyone as he had been doing nonstop all the way there.

"Loggard! Take the boy an' watch 'im for us. Don't let 'em outta yer sight, un'erstand?" Alvin barked.

"Yes, sir…" A young boy, maybe thirteen, answered meekly.

He was lean like Alvis' father was at that age, he had shoulder-length grey hair, freckles, and his eyes were kind as he gave Alvis a small smile.

"Come on, then, mate. I'll get ya some grub, eh, would ya like that?"

Alvis' stomach gurgled and Loggard chuckled.

"Come along, then."

He took Alvis to a small hut and started a fire. It was getting late when the two of them sat down to grilled fish and Alvis scarfed it down like a dragon.

"Hungry enough, little man?"

Alvis chewed and swallowed dramatically.

"Thank you." He said.

"S'allright."

"Why are you little like me?"

"Eh, me Dad got sent here when I was a babe. Had no mum, so he took me with. Course, the old dotter's dead now so it's just me here."

"I'm sorry. I bet he was a nice daddy. Mine is."

"Is he now? Who's yer daddy, then, the Dragon Trainer, yeah?"

"Uh-huh." Alvis nodded sadly. "I hope he comes for me soon. I want Mommy's dinner and Freya cries when I don't play with her."

"…I hope so too, little man."

There was silence and then out of nowhere cannon fire whistled and exploded above the island.

"What in the blazes!?"

"Daddy!"

The two boys ran out to see a Berk warship land. The ramp slammed onto an unsuspecting Outcast and the twins came out first, tackling two more.

Snotlout chose to fly down on Hookfang and aim fire at anyone he saw. Astrid covered him with Stormfly's fire while Hiccup charged with a sword and Toothless by his side.

Stoick and Gobber ran straight down the ramp to Alvin.

"So ye came, Stoick!" He cried.

"Where is my grandson, Alvin?" Stoick shouted.

Gobber wasted less time by throwing an axe at him.

Hiccup fought his way through the Outcasts and spotted his son and Loggard, the older boy shielding the younger from fire, weapons, and falling debris.

"Dad, there he is! Astrid! I found him!"

"Oh no you don't!" Alvin yelled, making for the boys.

"Oh no you don't!" Stoick said, grabbing him by the knees and slamming him to the ground.

Astrid followed Hiccup on Stormfly to the hut and was about to slice Loggard with her axe before she saw he was a child and was protecting Alvis.

"What's a kid doing on Outcast Island?"

"I don't know but let's get them to the ship." Hiccup cried.

Toothless pulled them onto his back and they raced to the warship.

Stoick saw them and bellowed

"Retreat!"

Ruffnut and Tuffnut finished tag teaming an Outcast into the dirt and ran aboard with everyone else.

The Outcasts fired arrows at the retreating ship but the dragons' fire kept them away.

When they were clear and on their way to Berk safely again, everyone let out a victory cheer.

Hiccup and Astrid barely let go of Alvis all the way back.

"I'm so glad you're okay." Hiccup croaked.

"You were so brave." Astrid said heavy with emotion.

"But I lost my knife." Alvis told her. "Left it at Loggard's house. I know you want me to always have it."

"What, this?" Loggard interjected, taking Alvis' knife from his coat. "Alvin asked me to hang onto it. Here."

"Thank you." Astrid said.

"Weren't nothin', Ma'am."

"Why were you on that island in the first place?" Hiccup asked.

Loggard briefly explained his past.

"So you belong on Berk. Dad, is it okay?"

"The lad helped save my grandson. So yes, he can do as he pleases."

"So how about it?" Hiccup grinned. "Feel like going home?"

"I would love to, sir." Loggard admitted. "Only problem bein' I ain't got no 'ome there, sir."

"You can always stay with us."

"Really?"

"Really."

"…Just one question, if I may, sir."

"Yeah?"

"Is it…is it true wha' they say, you tame dragons and tha'."

Hiccup grinned wider.
