Stoick awkwardly had his rise his cup before turning to the same solider and asked in a whisper, "Sorry to be the mutton head here but," Did I just call myself a mutton head, gods Gobber will never let me hear the end of this if he finds out. "But what on earth is the chief talking about."
"The storm really must have froze your brain cells," The soldier remarked with annoyance before explaining, "The chief told us soldiers first about his plan, one of his spies will convince the twins that they must return to Berk but we have other spies there to make the berkians feel so much hatred towards our heirs that the moment Hiccup and Heather get there, Berk will show them that hatred severely."
"But why do all that? This seems too harsh," Stoick made sure that he didn't sound nervous even though he was extremely getting worried about this sudden plan.
"It is but one of our spies confirmed that the heirs were originally here to capture our chief and send him back to prison but after spending one glorious day here they are having doubts," The soldier continued. "They were confused on who they should remain loyal to because from it seems, they still have little loyalty to Berk so Dagur decided that it'll be best to giving them a helping hand in this decision."
Finally Stoick understood, his mind was now full of panic. "So the moment the twins get to Berk-"
"They will be betrayed so badly that they'll want to come back here and willingly follow Dagur," The soldier cheered, patting Stoick's back with joy. "It's harsh but this is the only way we'll be absolutely certain that our heirs are here to stay!" Without another word, the soldier turned to another one of his comrades as they banged their cups together with cheer, but Stoick he couldn't act out fake happiness. His son was heading towards a trap, normally Stoick wouldn't be very worried since he knew the boy was smart enough to sense a trap but now Hiccup is too lost and confused to see clearly! I have to get out of here and fly back as fast as I can before it's too late With that in his mind, Stoick began to step away from the table and through the crowds as cautiously as he can so he wouldn't look so suspicious but unfortunately for him someone was smart enough to see through his disguise.

"Come on Skullcrusher, we have to get going!" Stoick finally put his own helmet on since he took him forever to switch back to his own clothing and redress the soldier who he attacked in the first place. "We don't more time to waste."
"I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll have to waste more of your time because you'll be spending it in the prison cells!" A deranged voice suggested through the wind and once Stoick dared turn around, he could see that the person who was following him was Dagur, all alone. "You actually think you can come and take my brother away from me again? Honestly you can try going back now but it'll be too late, Hiccup is no longer your son Stoick." With that, he pulled his sword out and directly charged towards the the chief who was ready to give him a well deserved punch but Skullcrusher beat him to that.
However Dagur was fast to recover from being hit by a rumblehorn as he pulled rope out to tie the chief from behind which worked for a moment since he forgot how strong Stoick was so breaking from the rope was a piece of cake. "You won't win that easy! Your not as smart as my brother Hiccup because news flash he's not even your son, he's my brother!" Dagur this time was engaged in a fist combat with Stoick, both of them dodging each other's blows while at the same time they were trying to hit one another. "You only took him away from my family and pretend to be his father! You won't win Stoick, my men has your dragon riders imprisoned along with their dragons and your villager friends who are sorta smart!"
Stoick's eyes widened with shock upon hearing this, the whole rescue team was captured and two of Berk's trusted men too, this effectively caught him way off guard. If it wasn't for Skullcrusher, Dagur would have won but didn't since the dragon was fast enough to tackle him once more to a tree and with the fallen rope on the snowy ground, Stoick used it to tie the deranged chief to the tree as tight as he could.
"I'm afraid your plans are a little tied up, Dagur," Stoick commented, turning his back at the deranged chief who was growling like a wild animal while struggling through the ropes. He mounted on Skullcrusher and without another word but one last stare down between the two chiefs until he and his dragon were up in the air, however he should have known that just tying rope around a deranged berserker was not a good idea.
They were nearly out of side until Skullcrusher suddenly felt something grab his back leg, trying to pull him down with only little success! Stoick looked down to see that Dagur managed to release himself from being restrained while using every ounce of strength he could muster to bring the rider and dragon down as the deranged chief yelled with anger. "YOU HAVEN'T WON YET STOICK! I WILL MAKE SURE HICCUP HATES YOU TO THE CORE!" Stoick took out a dagger he hid in the saddle in attempt to cut the rope to release Dagur's hold but Skullcrusher was flying higher and higher with so much brute force, they were actually flying up in the stormy sky with the chief of the berserker tribe dangling from the rope while screaming in surprise that the rumblehorn was this strong!
He can tell that despite the boy being chief, Dagur was still young and from the sounds of horror of his screams, Stoick couldn't ignore this.
You know you can't just drop him from this height, you'll kill him! Stoick's instincts kicked in knowing that he couldn't just cut the rope now since Skullcrusher was flying so fast getting farther and farther away from Berserker Island while Dagur was making sure he didn't let go of the rope despite the cold strong weather. He may have done many horrible things to you and you're village, especially to Hiccup but he's also Hiccup's brother. Killing ones family is something you know you don't have the guts to do, you knew that from the start of parenthood.
Groaning at the logic or more like his emotions he grabbed one end of the rope and to Dagur's shock he began to pull him up from harms way while being careful that the wind doesn't blow hard enough to knock one of them over while Skullcrusher gave his rider a skeptical look but knew it was wise not to intervene. Finally Stoick managed to get Dagur up on the saddle while he just stared at the berkian chief with confusion before he looked ahead and then instantly panicked while trying to find the right words as he pointed towards something.
At first Stoick though Dagur was really going crazy until he looked forward and saw an enormous water sprout approaching them in with such speed that it might be able to out fly a nightfury! "HOLD ON!" He signaled Skullcrusher to make a move away from the water sprout but it was so strong that it managed to pull them in without any effort while the two vikings screamed with terror! "FLY SKULLCRUSHER! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Stoick urged with panic, while he made sure he held on to Dagur tightly so the young man wouldn't fall off as said dragon roared in response as he struggled to break through the sprout!
As the water hit their faces along with the wind, they were nearly out until the winds took control and threw them off course; causing Skullcrusher to lose control of his flight as they were tossed away from the sprout with great speed. At first they thought they were going to hit the ocean but an island appeared through the thick clouds as they plummeted through the trees, bushes and vines until they finally crushed landed on the ground.
The moment they crashed, they were all shaken up from such a flight until Stoick noticed that Skullcrusher was not getting up! "Skullcrusher! Are you alright?" All said dragon could do was coo as he lifted his left wing as Stoick went to check on it only to discover what the problem was. "Your wing is a little sprained, it should heal in a few days if you don't fly...But now...Now what?" Going to Berk was now impossible to do, Stoick now felt even more worse for not being able to get to Berk in one piece! However before be could spend the rest of his time beating himself down, he heard Dagur groaning in obvious pain a few feet away so without even realizing, he rushed to the young chief, who was giving him more confused faces than glares lately.
"Get back you-OW!" Dagur hissed in pain as his arms wrapped around his chest, but his small threat didn't affect Stoick since that only got him to get closer to check for injuries.
"For now we need to make sure you didn't beak anything yourself." Was all Stoick stated.
A FEW MINUTES LATER...
"Your ribs are only a little bruised, as long as you don't do anything stupid you'll be okay," Stoick reported after wrapping bandages around Dagur then making a small camp in a nearby cave after hauling both injured viking and dragon there first. A fire was made and this was one of times when Stoick was thankful that Hiccup snuck in an emergency camp gear that surprisingly fit in a satchel and the saddle since there was several blankets, medicine, and some food.
Dagur remained silent, a little stunned that the enemy actually helped him instead of leaving him out in this storm. His eyes were only focused on the flames of the fire since he tried his best to ignore Stoick and Skullcrusher until he finally spoke. "You didn't have to waste your time nursing your enemy Stoick."
"Your right, I didn't have to but I choose to help you," Stoick replied as he prepared to cook some of the fish he had. "It wouldn't be very fair to just let the weather finish you off, now that would be very unworthy death."
"Or maybe you're doing this because I'm Hiccup's big brother and you know that if something happens to me then you can never get your Hiccup back," Dagur grumbled with annoyance. "That plan won't work Stoick, pretty soon I'll be seeing brother Hiccup and sister Heather flying towards Berserker Island and admit to me that they have been foolish to even think about backstabbing me and pledge their loyalty to me."
Stoick was taken aback by the statement but he made sure he didn't show it. "So you're going to do those drastic measures to make sure it happens, Dagur you have no idea what you're going to put Hiccup and Heather through."
"All well, they should see Berk's true form!" Dagur argued, "They will have a new home with their real family instead of the fake one! Then they won't be so naive like they are right now! So heed my warning Stoick the Vast, the moment my ribs are healed I will fight you until one of us dies! Just you wait, and don't even think that this act of kindness will get you anywhere with me because as far as I'm concerned, your just the enemy who is holding me hostage until I escape!" With that Dagur slowly turned away and stared outside as his anger was continuing to boil but he was confident that his plan will succeed without fail.
As for Stoick, all he could do was sigh sadly, as his thoughts were wondering and imagining different scenarios as to what might be happening to Hiccup and Heather right now..
