A/N:
So yeah, another update xd so far, I might base the ww2 Au with Company of Heroes 2. I played it at the same time enjoyed the story and I thought of the main protagonist to be Hiccup. Well if you guys want to know the full story just watch the cutscenes of the game on your spare time. But I'll put mix the plot line along with mine so stay tune for that, I'll pre-write at least five chapters and not update the story till of course this story is done since I like things getting finish, (expect school work xd)
Replying to ze Comments:

Anyways enough of this shiet, here is ze story.
Chapter Fifteen: You can't Undo the Past
(Harper's P.O.V)
I just, I don't know lost it. I mean I shot Savage right at the eye, I mean I literally aimed for his eye. Same goes for the poor bastards who came out running to help that, prick! I just stood there from a far distance watching him treat Alek like another whore in the wasteland. I couldn't watch I needed to act since I looked at the gang arguing if they're going to shoot, thank Gods I didn't let Eret sit his ass here. Might have a hard time killing Savage first of all and he might have killed Gobber instead.
All that aside I did overkill the fact that I shot Alvin in the leg and his side, same goes for cutting his fingers off. I didn't think it as if I wasn't even Harper anymore, good thing the guys pulled me off since chances are I might do something worst then that. I saw Alek just on the floor, she freaked out when I touched her. Chances are she might have a small trauma, I just brought her back to the cover as we walked away from the scene.
She wouldn't stop crying, so I stopped walking before I carried her. She squeaked and tried to object before she settled into my chest just hugging me. By now she stopped crying and we just walked through Berk which was still in a battle-won state after what the outcasts did.
"Harper." She called out.
I looked down smiling softly, "You alright, I should have been there." I said simply.
She sighed before leaning into my chest, "No you were already there, you saved me Harper from..." She tried to say out.
I just shushed her before she settled back down. By now we were almost there to the cove before a Humvee stopped in front of us. I just held Alek before I saw my father come out along with Gobber.
"Stephan." I started
He looked at me surprised at the same time hurt. He sighed before speaking. "Son, I know what I did back there was wrong."
"You mean stupid and idiotic, well of course I mean your pride and respect is more important that your own son." I retorted.
(No P.O.V)
Stephan looked at Harper with wide eyes, before he gritted his teeth along with squeezing his hand shut, forming a fist.
"Don't you say that, of course I have a reputation to keep. Besides I'm running a town Harper, I'm always busy and those inventions of yours always take up my schedule since I have to clean up your mess!" Stephan retorted.
Harper taken back by what he said, had wide eyes before he accidently held Alek a bit too hard causing her to yelp in pain. He noticed this before saying a small apology before letting go of Alek, putting her down before asking her if she's okay one more time.
Alek looked at him with a worried look before saying she was okay. He looked back at his father with a cold glare.
"My inventions, yeah blame it on them. Those were meant to make your job easier dad, I wanted to help you but no of course not!" Harper informed coldly.
Stephan wanted to speak before Harper continued. "Worst part is I wanted to make you proud, I wanted to have at least a small thought that I exist in your life but no! You keep on forcing me to be you, and do you see the picture here. I can't be since I'm "This"!" Harper said gesturing himself.
Stephan looked at Harper, taken back by what he said before he walked away. Alek gave Stephan a disapproving look before catching up to Harper. Stephan looked at Harper before sighing sadly.
"What I am supposed to do Gobber, I mean he's right I was never there for him during his childhood same goes for his entirety of his life outside." Stephan asked, defeated to his best friend.
Gobber sighed before speaking. "Stoick, yu kno' the lad as' been' well different. Hel' even I notic' dat', yu kno' the boy wouldn't stup' ranting' about yu' not carin' for im'. I needed to gev' it to im' straight that yu' love him, problem is yur havin' a hard time showing it."
Stephan stared at his best friend, finally realizing that his one and only son thought he never loved him. "And I made it worst in putting him in that trail, didn't I?
Gerald gave Stephan a look before he sighed. "The lad as' been through a lot Stoick, give im' time. Five ears' in the wasteland can change someone's perspective in life, same goes for his childhood. Come on, let's see if me' bar is still up."
Stephan nodded before going back into the Humvee driving to the Edge.
By now Harper sat on the floor, ranting to Alek about his father. "What I did back there was wrong." Harper said impersonating his father.
"Harper, I know what he did was…" Alek tried to point out before Harper interrupted him.
"Let's see, idiotic, stupid, inhumane? I can go on you know." Harper pointed out.
"Not thinking straight." Alek corrected. "Harper, I mean you shot him for Thor's sake! I mean of course he would place you in a trail. But he wouldn't kill you Harper, you're his son."
"No, I was never his son! I mean look at me do I look "Stoick" enough to be him? Of course not, remember I Hiccup the useless always have been and always will." Harper said softly
Alek looked at Harper with wide eyes, seeing his form defeated. She sat next to him pulling him beside her. "You're not useless Harper, don't say that." Alek said sternly. "Look at you, you're even more of a man with Sam and Eret combined and don't get me started with Frank." She said smirking.
Harper smiled before putting an arm around her. "Well nobody can handle all of this raw power they see when they come across to me." Harper joked.
"Well, certainly guys couldn't think the fact that you became a badass." Alek informed.
"Comes as a package outside the wasteland." Harper smirked.
That's when Alek remembered to ask something. "Harper, what did you do outside the wasteland?" She asked softly.
Harper stopped smiling looking at Alek, she looked into her eyes as she waited for his answer. "It's better to keep the past buried." He said simply.
"No Harper, you can't hide it forever! Eventually you'll have to talk and that's right now!" Alek retorted.
"Why is my past important all of a sudden?!" Harper yelled.
"Because I want to remember what you say right now." Alek replied before grabbing his face forcing him to look at her.
"Tell me Harper Haddock, what did you do outside. What are the things you regret?" Alek asked.
Harper stayed silent trying to avert his eyes from those sapphires that gaze intensely to him. He tried to pull out before Alek made a firm grip forcing him to stay.
She looked at Harper's eyes as they started to shine before a small turn came down. "Please don't make remember." Harper choked out.
She looked at him softly before giving pulling him into a hug. "Why Harper? What do you want to forget?" Alek asked softly.
"Everything, I want to forget everything." Harper replied hugging Alek as he sobbed quietly.
"Then tell me, what did you do that you want to forget?" Alek said softly
Harper didn't respond, just sobbed as Alek comforted him whispering soothing words as she played with his hair.
By now Harper calmed down before setting back, laying against the wall before he spoke.
"I did things, things I wanted to forget, I wanted to erase from my memories. Till today they hunt me, and I regret doing those decisions." Harper started.
Alek stayed quiet motioning him to continue. "After a few months, after I got separated from my parents. I was on my own, still a welp. I just tried to survive, ignored the freaks, hide from the raiders. It was hard to survive on your own considering the fact that I was still a fishbone.' He said with a small smile.
Alek smiled back, admiring that Harper is coming back to his old self. "Then all of a sudden these guys with military gear came in. They were at least three of them, they came in surrounding me. And I thought this was it I was going to die, I was going to finally die outside here. But no, they asked me if I needed a place to stay. I instantly said yes of course I was desperate."
"As soon as I came there it was a new civilization, like a new start for everybody. It was called the great Bewilderbeast, same goes with the group's name. And there was the "Dragons" agents or members that find and save people outside the wasteland, to save what was left of humanity." Harper said, remembering the old days.
"Our leader was a kind and great man, but he was mysteriously murdered. And a man by the name of Drago Bludvist stood up, taking in command of the settlement along with the Dragons. By the time he came in I was already a member, I was nicknamed Night Fury since well we're dragons." Harper told
"So, what happened?" Alek asked.
"I…I…I…did…things…things I regret doing. We raided peaceful settlements, killed people like us who wanted and needed to survive. We did things that are so inhumane that some of us started to lose are faith to the cause. And they just followed blindly to Drago's orders. Since people who tried to rebel, were made examples off." Harper informed quietly.
"If you want to stop talking, you can Harper. I'm not forcing you to say it all in one day." Alek reminded softly.
"No, I need to get this out of my chest." Harper retorted, Alek nodded before he motioned him to continue.
"I wanted to leave, to defect. By now I was already marked for treason since I disobeyed Drago's orders. So, I ran, leaving the colony overall. And I didn't turn back but I did well kind off tried to kill Drago." Harper said sheepishly.
"Tried?!" Alek asked surprised.
"Well I tried to assassinate him alright and it didn't go well, so he hired a group called the Hunters. Soldiers turned into mercenaries, taking bounties and killing for sport. They superior officer, Viktor Grimborn along with his brother Garret. They were both high ranking in the army before well everything fell apart which gave Viktor the idea to also defect." Harper informed.
"And you saying you have a bounty is true, so how much then?" Alek asked.
"Um, thirty no fifty thousand coins along with some guns, ammunition, food and medical supplies. But I'm sure Drago will kill them instead of giving it to them." Harper answered.
"Who is Drago Bludvist?" Alek asked.
"Drago Bludvist is a sadistic man, a man with no conscious or feelings. He is a very dark and dangerous man, you don't want to be near him. Trust me the last time someone questioned and disobeyed him was killed publicly, he was fed to the freaks he kept inside some sort of makeshift arena where people watch prisoners fight to the death with them." Harper answered.
By now they stopped talking, admiring the quiet atmosphere before Harper told Alek to go to bed, she nodded before asking Harper if she would join him. He agreed not before setting up the cover to the hole, with that both of them got to bed.
