Please review! :)

"Come on, the ships will be returning soon. I'm sure my dad will want to see me and the Riders will be happy to see you" I said standing up.
"I don't know." Ironclad said.
"Come on, you know Helga will search every island to find you if she hears you were here and didn't say hello" I joked.
Ironclad laughed "You are right about that" he stood up and we walked back into the village.
Hiccup's POV
We reached the village and I saw all the Riders hopping off their dragons. Helga turned around and saw us. She then sprinted over screaming at the top of her lungs "IRONCLAD!"
And tackled Ironclad to the ground.
"Its good to see you too Helga" Ironclad said. Helga then stood up and helped him up.
"Why are you here!?" she said.
"I actually ran into Hiccup on Outcast Island." Ironclad said "I helped him out"
"Ironclad!" Heith and Kol said walking over.
"Hey" Ironcald said waving.
"How have you been?" Heith said, wrapping his arm around Helga.
"I heard you became a mercenary for hire" Kol said.
"I still am. I'm just passing through. I will probably leave tomorrow." Ironclad said.
"Oh no you aren't!" Helga said "You are going to stay here and we are going to talk and you will be sociable and nice and I swear to Odin if you ditch us in the middle of the night I will track you and that Star Chaser down and drag you both back here!"
Ironclad put his hands up in defeat "I don't doubt that."
"So your sticking around?" Kol said.
"Well if I don't I really think I will be fearing for my life, so I guess I don't have a choice in the matter" Ironclad said.
Helga smirked.
"So Hiccup, what happened?" Heith said.
"I'll tell you the details later. But we got Astrid and she is in the Healer's hut with Klint and Ari right now" I said.
"Are Klint and Ari ok?" Helga asked, worried.
"Ari got a good swip to her stomach, but she is all patched up now. Klint is probably forcing her to stay down right now" I said.
They all let out a sigh of relief.
"Hiccup!" I heard Stoick yell.
"Looks like I have to deal with my dad now" I said, sighing.
Stoick and Gobber then walked over to us.
"Hiccup, I wanted to talk to you about..." Stoick said then stopping. He was looking right at Ironclad.
"Stoick?" I said.
"What is He doing here" Stoick said.
"Oh, this is Ironclad. Ironclad this is Stoick. He is the chief and incidentally my father" I said.
Ironclad just nodded to Stoick.
"Why is he here Hiccup" Stoick said "Why is a member of the Black Blood tribe here!"
I saw Ironclad stiffen and place his hand on his sword.
"Black Blood?" Helga said.
"Yes" Stoick said "Now before I run him through with a sword I'll ask again. Why is he here on Berk!"
"Dad what's going on?" I said.
"I made it VERY clear I don't want any of your kind here" Stoick said.
"Will someone please explain what in Thor's name is going on!" Kol yelled.
"He is from the Black Blood tribe!" Stoick said.
"Dad, Ironclad saved me and Astrid. Why do you have a problem with his tribe?" I said.
"Because they can't be trusted" Stoick said "They were among the greatest fighters yet they were only seen when they wanted, they were always thorough when it comes to a kill."
We all turned to Ironclad. He had a pained look in his eye, like he was reliving something horrible.
"Ironclad?" Helga said. He snapped out of his trance.
"He is right, but you should know the tribe was destroyed years ago. I have no connections with them what so ever" Ironcald said coldly.
"But you still wear the crest" Stoick said.
"Dad, please. Ironclad is a good friend. He won't destroy Berk or anything." I said.
"Hiccup, will he harm this tribe in any way?" Stoick said.
"No...right Ironclad" I said.
"right" Ironclad muttered.
"There, all better?" I said to Stoick.
"Fine" Stoick said turning and walking away.
"What was his problem?" Heith said.
"Oh don't mind him" Gobber said "He had a duel with a warrior from that tribe. It was a stand still, and even though neither side won, I still think it bruised his ego." Gobber said, then turning to walk away.
"Well that was...tense" Heith said.
"Tell me about it" I said.
Ironclad's POV
After Helga had tackled me and threatened my life if I left I heard a booming voice yell "Hiccup!"
"Looks like I have to deal with my dad now" Hiccup said, sighing.
Two men walked over. They were both huge, one had a peg leg and a hammer for one of his hands. The other was red headed and I assumed was Hiccup's father.
"Hiccup, I wanted to talk to you about..." the man I assumed was the chief and Hiccup's father said then stopping. He was looking right at me
"Stoick?" Hiccup said.
"What is He doing here" Stoick said.
"Oh, this is Ironclad. Ironclad this is Stoick. He is the chief and incidentally my father" Hiccup said.
I nodded to Stoick.
"Why is he here Hiccup" Stoick said "Why is a member of the Black Blood tribe here!"
I stiffened and place my hand on my sword. This wasn't good...
"Black Blood?" Helga said.
"Yes" Stoick said "Now before I run him through with a sword I'll ask again. Why is he here on Berk!"
"Dad what's going on?" Hiccup said.
"I made it VERY clear I don't want any of your kind here" Stoick said.
"Will someone please explain what in Thor's name is going on!" Kol yelled.
"He is from the Black Blood tribe!" Stoick said.
"Dad, Ironclad saved me and Astrid. Why do you have a problem with his tribe?" Hiccup said.
"Because they can't be trusted" Stoick said "They were among the greatest fighters yet they were only seen when they wanted, they were always thorough when it comes to a kill."
*FLASHBACK*
I was lifting my bow and arrow up. I was about to release the arrow when I heard a large explosion and screaming. The rabbit then hopped away and I cursed. I looked up and saw that the noise was coming from...home.
"No!" I yelled, dropping my weapon and running as fast as I could
I reached the edge of the forest and saw and enormous white dragon. It looked like a Whispering Death, but was pale white, had red eyes and was much, much larger.
It roared and massive blasts of fire lit up most of the village. The firing spikes went everywhere.
The warriors were running and fighting the creature, but most were either burned or run through with the tail spikes.
I then saw my mother. She saw me and ran over.
"Mom.. I'm scared" I said.
"It will be fine, and its ok to be scared sometimes, we just can't let that fear rule us. Ironclad, go back into the woods and don't look back. Save yourself" she said, hugging me.
"But..what about you?" I said.
"I'll be fine." she said smiling "Now go!"
I then turned around and ran. I looked back and saw my mother run towards the dragon. The dragon then roared and swung its tail at her.
Tears were streaming down my face "NOO!"
I collapsed on the ground, crying.
"Get up. Please get up and save yourself" I heard in my head. I then picked myself up and ran further into the woods.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"Ironclad?" I heard Helga say. I then snapped out of my memory.
"He is right, but you should know the tribe was destroyed years ago. I have no connections with them what so ever" I said coldly.
"But you still wear the crest" Stoick said. I was ready to punch this man in the face for what he was saying.
"Dad, please. Ironclad is a good friend. He won't destroy Berk or anything." Hiccup said.
"Hiccup, will he harm this tribe in any way?" Stoick said.
"No...right Ironclad" Hiccup said, looking at me
"right" I muttered.
"There, all better?" Hiccup said to Stoick.
"Fine" Stoick said turning and walking away.
"What was his problem?" Heith said.
"Oh don't mind him" Gobber said "He had a duel with a warrior from that tribe. It was a stand still, and even though neither side won, I still think it bruised his ego." Gobber said, then turning to walk away.
"Well that was...tense" Heith said.
"Tell me about it" Hiccup said.
"Are you alright?" Helga said.
"I'm...fine" I said.
"What did you say about your village? I didn't know it was...gone" Heith said.
I sighed "Well Hiccup here knows what happened but I never told all of you."
"What happened?" Kol said.
"It was destroyed...by the Screaming Death." I said "I was only 7. I was practicing my blind hunting, or hunting at night, when it attacked. I ran back to the village and my mom saved me..she...she died. And I ran away like a coward"
Helga looked like she might cry and hugged me.
"I am so sorry" she said.
"Its fine..." I said.
"I am so sorry man" Kol said.
"I'm ok..its just when he brought my tribe up, it just brought up those old memories." I said.
"Are you ok?" Hiccup asked.
"I'll be fine. I worked through it a long time ago" I said waving him off.
Hiccup smiled and rolled his eyes.
