"Back off or end up like the rest of your men!" Havak said as he brought his sword through an Outcast and blocked another strike by ducking. The two remaining Outcast warriors looked at the 6 wounded and slain Outcasts around Havak as the boy stepped towards them.

"What are you!?" One of the Outcasts said as Havak raised his sword.

"Your destruction."

"Your plans aren't working, old man…. If you're truly telling us the truth about Berk…" Alvin growled to the shadowed form of Mildew as the old man turned and scowled at him.

"You calling me a liar? I know the sons of Stoick, the brat won't be able to keep his anger to himself and will get his little girlfriend to attack Outcast Island, that is when you strike…. He falls and then all the Dragons on Berk can be driven off and I can have some blasted peace and quiet again." Alvin growled and picked up the old man with one hand.

"That 'brat has a Screaming Death that listens to him and his girlfriend only, that brat has sunken 10 of my best ships, that brat has slain 15 of my men! Don't you dare act like as soon as he sets foot on our land, that he will fall so easily! The boy is almost as good with dragons as that other son!" Mildew smiled.

"All in due time will you see, Alvin, all in due time…"

2 hours later, Berk.

"That's another couple of ships and several out casts down." Havak said as Rose walked up behind him.

"This is getting to you, Havak…. It's starting to worry me…" Havak turned.

"I'm fine, Rose, we just need to strike a blow that is permanently crippling to them... We need to strike Outcast island." Rose nodded, somewhat unsure of what to say but she steeled herself and said it as any Hofferson would.

"You need to have some time off of this, it's not making you well." Havak was about to respond when Rose drew her sword and struck as Havak blocked it.

"Really?" Rose smiled a little.

"Outcast island is something we need to think about…. And I need to get your mind off the idea for a little bit." Havak blocked the sword strike and grinned.

"Bring it, Hofferson."

Rose only grinned and lunged.

"Another convoy? Havak isn't going to stop until he either gets Alvin to surrender or falls in battle." Hiccup said to Stoick as the Chieftain sighed and tried to reassure his son.

"Adopted or not, your brother is only trying to look out for Berk, Hiccup…. You know he dedicated himself to protecting it when he was younger." Hiccup looked at a photo on the wall, it showed him, Havak and Stoick when the boys were younger, Havak had his arm around Hiccup's shoulder and a smile on his face while Stoick had a hand on each of their shoulders and a smile.

"How could we be brothers in everything but blood somewhat looks and still be so different?" Stoick sighed.

"People his age-…." Hiccup cut him off.

"Everyone in the group including him and Rose are 15, dad, me and Astrid included." Stoick sighed.

"Teenagers…."

"You still want to distract me from the war?!" Havak laughed as he parried a blow from Rose before the girl sheathed her sword.

"Just making sure my boyfriend's fighting skills haven't dulled, as a Hofferson, I am expected to date a warrior." Havak rolled his eyes.

"Sure…" Rose smiled and sat down next to her boyfriend as Havak continued to look at the map.

Middle of oceans, midnight.

"You sure about this?" Alvin said as he and his men followed Mildew.

"Our allies will be here soon, Alvin, it better be worth it with that brat starting to suspect who I am talking with.

"What allies?" The Outcast leader looked up to see a Berserker ship.

"OUTCASTS, PREPARE FOR BATTLE!" Mildew bonked him on the head.

"QUIET!" Alvin looked up as a boy jumped out of the ship, he knew who it was.

"Dagur." Dagur looked up.

"If you're telling, the truth, I am in…." Mildew smiled.

"Don't worry, your see, Dagur."

Author notes

It's going to get real now! The alliance between Alvin and Dagur is going to be like the one in the show, but it won't happen until 2 or 3 chapters later, we have 15 chapters left in this arc. Next chapter will be tomorrow and another on Sunday. Until then, Lighting wolf out!
