We are Family!
Everyone on Berk was psyched because one the start of one the best weeks on the island, Bork Week; to celebrate Gobber's ancestor who helped give them a foothold on dragons and started the first book of dragons.
This year it be really worth celebrating because they'd made peace with the dragons and they now had a proper book of dragons, plus there was to be a dragon airshow at the celebration.
There were about three things Vikings knew how to do well. They knew how to be stubborn fools, fight to the death and boy did the people of Berk know how to throw a good party and party like there was no tomorrow!
Though currently the ones who were to perform the airshow were deep in the woods laying out a large patchwork quilt to give their younger siblings a place to nap.
For the past week prior to Bork Week all the Riders and even Hiccup had taken a break from dragon training to give their younger siblings basic lessons in combat and self-defense as well as how to handle the weapons that their parents at least approved of.
(Their mothers were clear nothing more dangerous than daggers and shields were to be used in their training. Absolutely no battleaxes, bludgeons or any other weapons were to be used in training. They didn't want serious injuries at all.)
So their past week in training had been very exhausting for all of them which is why the younger children were now all napping even Boden and Una were curled up with their dragon dolls sleeping peacefully from their own combat training.
"They all look so adorable and I can't believe I'm even using that word!" whispered Snotlout as he slipped a pillow under Velika's head to make sure she was comfy.
"This is a big change for all of us, Snotlout but please remember to tiptoe so you don't wake them up," reminded Astrid as she gestured for him to come join the rest of the group a short distance away. They're far enough away to not disturb their younger sibling's nap but still close enough they could keep an eye on them.
"Okay everyone keep your voices down. No need to wake them up after we already trained them so hard the past week we wore them out to the point they crashed and burned," Hiccup told his friends who were still learning about being brothers and sisters and look to him for direction a lot of the time.
"Alright, but what are we supposed to do now? Since you had to rely more on us to help you with the combat and self-defense classes we've been doing this past week?" Ruffnut asked him as she sat down on a rock with her legs crossed and tossed her braids over her eyes.
She and Tuffnut glanced back at their little sisters making sure they're sleeping comfortable. It hadn't been easy for them to work together to train them since they'd need a lot of self-control on themselves, not to give into their normal impulse of being silly, when they needed to be mature and serious about what they're doing.
It was strange for all the Riders as they really embraced their new roles of being big brothers and sisters to still wrap their heads around many new concepts including the phrase "In teaching you'll learn and in learning you'll teach."
So while they're teaching their new younger siblings they at the same time we're trying to help improve them by help them work on their faults and other problems to become better people in turn.
Though back to the point on hand was Hiccup asking if everyone had been working at least at home on their dragon calls since they'd be needed for the upcoming dragon airshow for Bork Week to which they all answered they'd done that and their siblings been helping them with it.
So he asked to hear a very quiet demonstration to which they all gave and a few of the dragons matching their own flew by.
"Excellent. Nice to know so much is going so well and everything is working out so well. I just hope practice for the airshow goes well this week as well. My siblings and I have a few ideas we like to try for the airshow. Have any of your or your new brothers and sisters come up with anything?" inquired Hiccup with a cheery smile.
The others looked uneasy as if they didn't want to say the next thing but they did say it and tried to say in the most tactful manner they could. "Well, Hiccup we have all come up with great ideas with our little brothers and sisters for our own dragons yes. But we've all more or less been wondering the same thing and kinda of surprise this hasn't come to your brilliant mind at all," Astrid began and Hiccup looked dumbfounded which wasn't a look he had often.
"What are you talking about, Astrid?"
"It's just all our dragons have others of their own kind to fly with and do special parts to show with and our own siblings according to your own sister's special gift will one day be the Riders of their children.
So we're all kind of looking forward to the day our dragons fall in love, find their mates and have kids. Though we've been feeling kind bad that can't happen for the three of you or your dragons," Fishlegs replied in a very sad but sympathy voice.
"Yeah, Hiccup and I'm for once not trying to be a bully or twist a knife in your back but as far as anyone knows there never been any other dragons like your three. They are simple by their own story "The Dragons of Legend" and by their own story only one of each," Snotlout point out.
"Yeah, by your own admission when you full explain the origins of how you and your siblings began your work with the dragons, your powers and the UDS you said they all appeared as if by magic, remember?" Ruffnut reminded him.
"And you told us that why your dragons are each other family since they don't have a family of their own. You issued this challenge to give us the blessing of being big brothers and sisters so we have what you have.
But your dragons still don't have a blood family of their own and did it ever occur to any of you they might want someone who looks like them and can do what they can do once in a while?" Tuffnut inquired.
By the look on Hiccup's face their words had battered against him in a way they had not intend but hit a tender spot he didn't know he had. He turned away for a few moments like he couldn't look at them and like he was trying to think of something to say.
"Um it getting close to sundown we should get everyone home for dinner. So let's get everyone up and take them home for dinner and we'll see each other tomorrow for the airshow practice," he let out in a shaky voice and rushed away and they knew he was feeling hurt and troubled by what they'd said.
But they didn't say or do anything more as they'd to get their own siblings back home in time for dinner.
As the Haddocks headed home for dinner Boden and Una knew something had been said to their brother that was upsetting him and he told them and then they all felt upset.
This carried over to their own dinner with all of them lost in their own minds and merely picking at their food till their mother cut through the thick fog of their brains.
"Uh hem, I know I'm not that great a cook, but I've never cooked anything so bad you've never eaten dinner. So what is really bothering all three of you?" Valka inquired to her three children who all pushed their plates away from them and looked at their mother.
"Is it true? That our powers and memories are truly telling the truth and that Toothless, Stardust and Nightrainbow are in fact alone and have no-one else? And what you told us really happened?" they questioned their mother as if pleading her to tell them for once their powers had been wrong and there was some slim ray of hope.
Valka looked to Stoick and both sighed before she recalled what she remembered in perfect detail of how her children and their dragons met.
"Sweethearts, I told you and even Hiccup's memory recall powers might not be perfect I remember it perfectly. You were all six months old. I took you all to the UDS when your father was called away to a chief's meeting on another island.
I placed you all on some blankets and furs in the far corner near we kept the rest of the blankets while I was busy with Cloudjumper tending to the rescued dragons. I turned back for all of twenty minutes.
Then I heard a cry of the greatest joy and you're holding the remains of an egg that didn't hatch the normal way. And cuddle up next you was your dragon. I'll never forget the look in either your eyes or your dragons or the smile both of you shared.
Then when I went to get a closer look at both of you and try to figure out where the dragon came from since I would search the Sanctuary from top to bottom and never found where their eggs come from but there no explanation where they came from.
But when I came back to you both you were cuddling together and then you all said in baby talk to me the same thing by telling me who your dragon was by name.
It was the same exact miraculous event three times and all your father and I can conclude after we filled him after the Red Death's death was the gods must have something great in store for your three's destiny.
Why else would you be blessed and Toothless, Stardust and Nightrainbow show up out of nowhere with no logical explanation? Why would you best tested in the way you have been so far and likely be tested in the months and years to come?" their mother finished in a soft gentle voice with sympathy in her eyes.
"We knew were blessed when each of you were born and we know you are all special in many different ways even if you didn't have your powers, but we do know all three of you and your dragons must have a great destiny in store for you as well. And one day you and the rest of the world will know what it is," their father told them and they just sighed.
"Right now, Dad we aren't so crazy about whatever our destiny may be." Hiccup told him with tears in his eyes.
"Yeah, we are happy we are special and unique and all that junk. But we'd just be happier if our one wish right now could be answered."
"And that Mommy and Daddy be if Toothless, Stardust and Nightrainbow had family of their own. Real family dragons that looked like them and could do what they can do. So they wouldn't be alone."
"Excuse us, I think we'll all go to bed early tonight. Night, Mom. Night Dad." As Hiccup, Boden and Una excused themselves without really eating and went upstairs and closed the door to their bedrooms.
"I can't stand seeing them feel so sad, Stoick. I really can't, but I don't know how to cheer them up given what happened and as far we know there isn't another of any of their dragon kind. And I think that be the only thing that make them feel better."
"Don't worry, Val. I think I know something that might make them feel a whole lot better. I'll surprise them with it tomorrow. Why don't you at least go check on them?"
"Alright. Why don't you go make sure Thornado and his sister Stormy are doing alright? Since we are talking about family and we should make sure all our family is alright."
"Good idea. I know he's visiting her tonight at her grotto. I'll make sure they're okay. See you in half an hour."
The next day Hiccup and his siblings only got more depressed as they watched all the fun everyone else was having with their own siblings practicing and getting their dragons all ready for the airshow.
It made all of their heart's break in two and made them cry too they didn't even want to practice their own moves even though they should be practice too. Their dragons seemed to be pick up their bummed moods and tried to cheer them up.
Toothless, Stardust and Nightrainbow weren't sure why their best friends were upset or why they kept apologizing to them or shed several teardrops on them. It just confused them and wonder why they're making them unhappy.
"I'm so sorry buddy that you'll never feel the joys of love. You're so handsome and cool and deserve a beautiful and kindhearted female by your side. If you only knew how I felt when Astrid was near me, bud. I wish you could feel that joy too," Hiccup was crying in sorrow as he petted Toothless who purred.
"You're so beautiful Stardust and if only you had some girlfriends to talk to like Mom and just have fun with or a boy to show off your beauty too. That make you happy I know it would," Boden also said in a sorrow and bitter tone.
"If you had other dragons like your Nightrainbow and your age you've tons of friends to play with and make beautiful music with. And again you find a love of your own." Una mused as she plucked a few strings on her lyre.
"Yeah, they'll never have either a best friend or a love. Any of them. It's a shame a real shame."
"They do have a best friend, all of you. Best friends don't have to be the same race or species for that matter. So don't worry about that one, you guys," called out Astrid as she came walking over holding the hand of her little sister Bloodfire who was skipping merrily.
"Yeah why you so blue anyway? They sure ain't. They seemed to want to turn all your guys' frowns upside down! C'mon Una don't you want to play? You always seem to be one to make others happy even if it's done in a rather unusual way."
"We don't feel like playing, Bloodfire. I know you can't understand this feeling so well, but we're feeling sad because our dragons are alone."
"How are they lonely, Una? They got all of you!"
"Bloodfire you can be in a room full of people and still be alone. My BBBFF were alone most of our lives on this island when everyone else thought of as the village disappointments. Because we were different and they thought of us as oddballs and fools."
"But you're just special!"
"Still we feel for our dragons because if you look around there a great many of other dragons for every other dragon to play with or fall in love with. That's not true for our dragons.
Do you get why we feel sorry for our dragons now?"
The other five year consider that and nodded, "I get what you mean now, Una. It's like how all of us and our mommies felt sorry for you and your family for so long, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's that same type of ach."
"Well, if any of you need someone to make you feel better don't forget we are all here for you guys," Astrid remind them.
"We know that Astrid, but we want to do something for our dragons, yet how can we do something so when this realization hits them they don't feel this heartache we are feeling doesn't break their tender hearts in two?" Hiccup wanted to know.
Before Astrid could open her mouth they heard three young voices calling to be heard over the wind and looking behind them was Birger, Ria and Larkin.
"What the matter? Did something go wrong with formation? Or we're you having trouble with the other jobs we assigned you to do?" Astrid asked and then saw Hiccup confused face and she quickly explained.
"We asked the children to help with getting the decorations made and put up as well as make the refreshments made for the Bork Week party," she quickly explained.
"Oh, good idea. Wish I thought of that."
"You've had a lot on your mind. So we thought of it for you," then turning back to her younger brothers and sister she asked them, "Okay one at a time what's in the name of Helhiem going on?"
"Well, since our mom is the best artist on Berk Ria and I were busy making decorations with the help of the Twins' little sisters," Birger answered one of Astrid question.
"Oh and since my mommy and daddy try to improve food Brimstone and I are working with Alle and Velika to make refreshments," Bloodfire chirped from Astrid's side.
"And Lanon and I are being the go between helping out where we can and then will all put things up and serve the food together." Larkin finished.
"Okay, is that all you wanted to inform me of or is there something else?"
"Oh we have a message for them," the three children pointed to the Haddocks.
"What the message?" they asked and they replied, "You dad looking for you and says he has a big surprise for all of you."
"Well, let's go see what Daddy's surprise is then. Have fun all you with your siblings!" as they flew up to the Great Hall.
Turned out Stoick's surprise and idea to cheer up his kids was to make them the keeper of all of Bork's papers and everything to do with any and all dragon knowledge.
It did do the trick for several hours to make them happy as they went to Hiccup's room pouring over the papers as their powers from time to time offered even more information than the words on the paper.
Just as it was about time for bed something slipped out of the last journal almost as if it been hidden on purpose. Curious they picked it up and was like hitting the jackpot so to speak.
Bork was speaking of a lost island he called The Isle of the Lost where the rarest of dragons lived. Dragons that couldn't be found anywhere else and that everyone else assumed were only one of a kind. Even dragons thought to be mere legends could be found here.
But according to his notes he had lost the original map to due dragon fire, but there was a copy in a cave he spent the night in during his travels.
"Well, I think we know where heading in the morning, but before first light and no telling Mom or Dad, got it?" Hiccup instructed Boden and Una who looked confused.
"Hiccup are telling us to lie?!" they asked in bewilderment.
"No, I'm not telling us to lie…" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm just saying we just don't mention this too them. You can't tell a lie if you never bring it up in the first place, can you?"
"Well, I guess not technically no. If you don't tell someone you aren't lying since you have to tell someone something in order to lie." Boden reasoned.
"Alright no telling Mommy or Daddy, unless it gets dangerous. Then we tell them, deal?"
"Deal."
Though the next day they really didn't keep their own promise as it did get a little dangerous, almost life-threatening in fact. Their judgment was being overshadow more by their desire to make their dragons happy then their sense of right.
Because the next day adventure had been a close call with the Riders and their siblings dealing with Changewings and Thunderdrums on the outside of the cave while they'd nearly been buried alive by a cave in on the inside.
Though in the process they did learn of a cool new ability of Toothless that Una named echolocation and figured out the whole processes of how it worked since she'd been studying sound all her five years alive.
After replying the whole event over in her mind she understood that Toothless had sent out high frequency sounds that just still were in the realm of human hearing. And like an echo they had bounced off the surrounding objects and then back to him and must have formed some type of mental picture in his mind gave him all the information that his eyes couldn't tell him.
So it was simply using sound to see for him when his eyes couldn't see him. Other animals might even have this ability too she concluded. It couldn't be exclusively to Night Furies. Surely other animals had evolved and adapted to use this echolocation if they needed for how they lived too.
Still it was no time to celebrate this new scientific breakthrough or dragon evolution as they study the map that night carefully memorizing to the Isle of the Lost.
"Do you think there a reason why no-one else found this island or other dragons go near it? It's pretty far out and isolate for sure," Boden pointed out as he double check other maps.
"Yeah and if lost and our dragons' relatives most likely here I think it be logical to assume these dragons make it their business to be either very territorial or have some kind of protection to keep their island lost.
I mean maybe that why Bork's page was hidden as it was a warning not to go there like he barely escaped it or something?" Una suggested.
"You both could be right. We shouldn't endanger anyone else and if these dragons are likely very rare and do contain others like our own which is very probable it be best if we went under the cover of night and got there early morning. Not to be so hostile and make the rest so upset and the others don't have our gifts or dragon knowledge that could aid them if things went south."
"So you're saying we should leave right now?" his siblings asked.
"Yeah, while Mom and Dad are asleep as is the rest of the village. C'mon just grab a few supplies and let's get going."
"Shouldn't we leave a note?" Una asked as they packed their satchels.
"Do you want Mom and Dad to get killed by going to an island where there a bunch of rare dragons that could kill them?" Boden demanded to his little sister.
"No, but they'll freak out if the find our beds empty in the morning. We should at leave something to behind to tell them where we are going so they have some kind piece of mind. We never been that irresponsible."
"Okay, okay. I'll leave a note! Don't need Mom and Dad to have a panic attack! But you two finish getting your things together!" order Hiccup as he ran over to his desk tore out a piece of paper from his notebook and wrote a hastily written note with the gest written on it.
Then they took off flying under the full moon's light assuring their dragons they find their family and to calm their nerves they sang a song they sang sometimes on music night called "We are family" as they flew.
"We are we are not your ordinary family! That we can all agree, but we are closer than close can be!
It doesn't matter what we look like because we look perfect to us. We know every kind of love there is we are so very lucky indeed. The rest of the world can keep on talking it doesn't matter to us, because we are family! Family!
For we are family! Family! Family! We are! We are! We are! WE ARE FAMILY!
So what? We don't look, act, walk or talk like you do? So what? If we just hang because want too. There no shame in that in doing what you want to do.
Because we come from everywhere simply looking for the ones who care! And we found it here we found us our home!
We are we are not your ordinary family! That we can all agree, but we are closer than close can be!
It doesn't matter what we look like because we look perfect to us. We know every kind of love there is we are so very lucky indeed. The rest of the world can keep on talking it doesn't matter to us, because we are family! Family!
Okay so they think the links in our chains makes us weak and strange but in truth they make us stronger. And we never replace a thing! Mother, Father, Sister or Brother!
Why? Because we come from everywhere simply looking for the ones who care! And we found it here we found us our home!
We are we are not your ordinary family! That we can all agree, but we are closer than close can be!
It doesn't matter what we look like because we look perfect to us. We know every kind of love there is we are so very lucky indeed. The rest of the world can keep on talking it doesn't matter to us, because we are family! Family!
For we are family! Family! Family! We are! We are! We are! WE ARE FAMILY!"
By the time they got done singing that it reminded them both of something very important and why they're doing this to begin with. It also didn't take a long after they finished singing such an energy packed song that they finally came to the Isle of the lost.
There was so much excitement as well as a great deal of trepidation as they landed on the beach of the island and dismounted and began to walk a little ways inland. However they didn't even take 10 steps before their own brains and powers tipped them off that something was right
"Um, Boden and Una, are your powers sensing anything at all?" Hiccup whispered, "I'm not feeling anything either like a bunch of memories nor is my heart feeling any sort of cries of help or anything and I was sure I feel something setting foot here."
"I'm not feeling anything. No thoughts, feelings, not any dragon souls. Not a single dragon presence or an injuries. I'm not sensing anything. Absolutely nothing!"
"I'm not getting anything either. No visions of the history of this island in the form of flashbacks, I don't hear any voices from humans who might of stumble hear like Bork. All I'm getting is a bad feeling and I'm think this is a…"
"Trap!" they all yelled at once and then made a mad dash for their dragons and suddenly bolo tied them up and their dragons and all of them were being held down or to be more accurate sat on by Outcast Vikings.
"Alvin!" they cursed hatefully when he came out of the shadows however not alone but with Mildew and they seethed more and knew what happened.
They couldn't help it they all unleased a slew of curse words they wouldn't dare say in front of their mother to that malicious revolting traitorous maggot knowing how and why he'd done this to them.
Though both Hiccup and Boden attention was diverted for a short while from Mildew to Una as they're all being thrown on to an Outcast boat. Una was squirming and crying out in pain because Alvin was all but strangling her as he carried her to the boat.
"LET GO OF MY SISTER RIGHT NOW ALVIN! SO HELP ME IF YOU HURT HER I'LL…." Hiccup began before a sword was pressed against his Adam's apple.
"Shut up, Hiccup. None of you will be harm, yet. I need you all alive if you're to train my dragons. So for now you all get to live as we go home to Outcast Island. So don't get so fussy about this puny little girl. When you should be worrying about all the necks on this boat. Now let's get home," as he threw Una hard on to the deck and she hit the mast.
She was really crying now and Hiccup's blood was boiling as was Boden seeing that Alvin been holding Una so tightly he'd left a bruise mark of his own hand around her neck and partly around her face. There was a bruise forming on her temple from hitting the mast.
The abuse didn't end as they got closer to Outcast Island either. Even Boden was subjected to some cruelty but he got it from Mildew who wasn't just satisfied with taunting them.
With them tied up and kept apart Mildew purposely struck Boden purely to enjoy his screams of pain with his cane and it only made Hiccup more enrage seeing the tears in Boden and Una's eyes and the bruise marks on their bodies.
Hiccup had never been one to want to take a life but at that moment if he had been free he'd have killed both Alvin and Mildew both and not thought twice about it. No-one, no-one hurt Boden and Una and got away with it. Not on his watch!
The moment they got to Outcast Island things got even worse from seeing the abused dragons, their captured dragons and then hearing the screams from Boden and Una as they're dragged away from him.
Hiccup was shoved into a tiny dark windowless room with a very low burning fire with only Alvin and Mildew before him. He was both scared and seething with angry even though he was still chained by his wrist and ankles he was ready to kill both men.
"Well, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, welcome to my humble abode. Now how about we get down to business?"
"What do you want Alvin?!" Hiccup demanded angrily.
"Temper, temper, boy. That's not gonna do you well with our little bargain. If you want the bargain to work in your favor. I'll make a very simple bargain. You train my dragons and I don't kill your dragons or your brother and sister."
"And if I don't?"
"Then first the dragons get served as tonight's dinner and if you still don't you can watch your brother and sister bit the dust at dawn."
"You don't have to hurt anyone, Alvin. As long as you return Boden and Una to my side we'll do anything you ask. Even train your dragons. As long as no harm befalls them we'll do anything you ask."
Laughing he smiled his rotten and broke teeth smile at the small scrawny 15 year old boy. "You really are easy manipulate and break like Mildew said."
"It's not about breaking me, Alvin. I made a promise, my first Haddock Promise when I was five years that I would do my duties as a big brother no matter what and I rather die than see harm come to either Boden and Una." Hiccup told him honestly while still giving him a death glare.
"Is that right? A promise? Tell me how much stock do you put into that promise of yours? Enough to be willing to tell the truth?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Mildew's been running his mouth about something that sounds a lot like hogwash. I want to know if its hogwash or the truth. So are you and your brother and sister really 'blessed' by the gods or is he just trying to avoid being killed in the future?"
"We are blessed," he replied instantly and told the whole truth. He spilled his guts to Alvin about all he and his siblings could do. However he also impressed upon what they couldn't do and how their powers were at best random and only having about 10% control as of this moment.
Alvin like most people didn't seem to hear the latter part only the fact Hiccup and his siblings could train dragons and had special gifts. He know saw them like the perfect tools to help him rule the whole archipelago.
They could help him raise a flying dragon army and with their powers help him become invincible. All he really had to do it seemed was not harm the little brats and they do what he say.
Snapping his fingers the younger ones were brought back into the room and there was a moment the three of them all cried and whispered to each other quietly and knew what had happened.
"So you three ready to help me train my own dragon? Or do we have to threaten your dragons now?"
"No we are ready." Hiccup told him as he was holding tightly to his brother and sister hand though he could still see vividly the bruises all over their bodies.
They're forced into the Outcast Arena with Alvin and saw guards posted everywhere tried to remain calm and simply instructed him step by step how to train a Whispering Death.
They knew enough about Alvin to read him like a book and knew he'd gloat and that would distract the men and sure enough he did gloat and brag when he'd done it. Trained a dragon and all his men were all paying attention to him.
No-one was paying attention to the Haddocks so they didn't notice how Boden had just finished using his lock picking tools to undo their chains to get them free or open the door the arena.
It wasn't till they'd gotten far enough away that they notice they'd escape and the whole island was after them. But thanks to Una knowing how to play hide and seek better than anyone else they manage to avoid the Outcast even when they ran right past them.
"Okay, we've lost them for now. But we got to get to the beach. I've a feel that's where Mom and Dad are the Riders are gonna be to get us out of this mess. My heart is telling me there going to be there. But we're going to need a distraction to buy us the time to get us there," Hiccup told them after they avoid the second Outcast patrol.
"I can help with that, give me a minute." Boden took a deep calming breath and mentally called out to all the dragons on Outcast Island and asked them all to aid them in their escape in any way they could to which they agreed.
"Okay bro the dragons will keep them occupied any way they can. Let's get going."
"My intuition and visions will show us the clearest and safest way to go. And my danger sense will alert us if anyone on our tail. But for now let's call to our dragons to let them know to find us."
"Yeah we all know in our hearts they've all escaped on their own."
So pausing only long enough to call out to their dragons they began to run and Una was shouting out directions left and right about which path to take and how to avoid danger.
Hiccup's heart power again wasn't just able to tell him where others were when they're in trouble it was to bring others to him when he was in trouble. And to three of their relief like a miracle they reached the beach just as they hoped was their parents, the Riders and Gobber who apparently been given a lift by Stormy.
"Mom/Mommy! Dad/Daddy!" they cried happily as they rushed to embrace their parents who held them so tightly as if they never let them go and likely probably wouldn't let them go again or at least for a very long time.
"You three have some serious explaining to do when we get home," their father told them all sternly.
"Yeah we known," they all replied with their heads hung guilty.
"I mean we barely figured it out! If Gobber hadn't discovered Mildew's abandoned house and you hadn't left a note explaining briefly where you're going.
Then if we hadn't found traces of the Outcast ship on that deserted island of if we hadn't spotted Johann! I don't even want to think about what would have happened to my babies!" Valka was looking at all of them like they were babies again and they knew they'd really messed up.
They're really wanted to get off this island to properly apologies when the Astrid yelled. "Incoming bogies at 10:00!"
"It's like nearly 3:30," the Twins started to say and stopped when they realized not the time to ask something stupid.
"Everyone get back. Alvin and Mildew's blood is ours!" Stoick and Valka both said in a strangely calm voice as they rushed at the whole army approaching and everyone realized at that very moment why it is true that you should never come between a parent and their child.
Stoick slammed Alvin to the ground and was attacking with the fury of a beast trying to kill him for both the kidnapping of his children and for the bruises on Una.
Valka was ready to fulfill her promise to murder Mildew for the multiply attempts on her children's lives and she was trying to rip the man's black shriveled and hairy heart from his chest with her bare hands.
The other Riders despite what the Chief and his wife order decided to provide cover and Gobber was trying his best to protect Hiccup and his siblings. The battle was brutal and the Berkains were winning till their came three yells.
Hiccup, Boden and Una had been recaptured when Gobber been distracted and everyone stopped what they're doing and knew if anyone so much as twitched their heads be sent rolling.
Then all of sudden help came leading the charge was all the dragons of Outcast Island led by Toothless, Stardust and Nightrainbow and then Berk Dragons also broke free and fired at the Outcast together freeing the siblings and then chased the Outcasts and the traitor Mildew with all their asses on fire as far as they could go with their tails between their legs.
When they're sure they're in a full retreat the trained dragons return to their Riders and the wild ones all came together and bowed in respect to group before taking over to causes more trouble for the Outcast.
Everyone took that as their cue to go. Stoick scooped up his daughter and Valka scooped up Boden and Hiccup flew between his parents and their parents sang to all their children a lullaby they sang to them when they're babies to make them stop crying. It made them all feel better and know they're safe.
The next day they burned the pages that Mildew used to trap them before helping get the last of the things ready for the Bork Week Party and then took part in the airshow.
The other siblings did a fabulous job with the decorations and refreshments but they also did a good job with something extra that was a surprise to everyone else. After thinking about it and having only a few hours to practice it all the kids perform the song that Hiccup and his siblings had sung on the way to what they thought was the Isle of the Lost.
To remind all of Berk what truly made a family. And they were all one big and amazing family!
