Thanks for the reviews and I hope you guys liked the cliffhanger I put in there ;). This chapter will focus on Fishlegs and Tuffnut and give you a background story ~
Eret followed Astrid as she entered the forest. Not too close, not too far away and he checked to make sure he didn't step on a twig or a branch. He smiled to himself when he heard Astrid scream for Hiccup. Although it wasn't the best idea Hiccup could ever have, scaring his girlfriend like that and of all people his girlfriend Astrid, it was kind of cute, he had to admit.
What he didn't understand was, where was Hiccup? Hiccup had told him to get Astrid and make it look like something happened to him and that's when Hiccup was supposed to fly in to get Astrid and put her in a tree to 'let him explain.'
But it didn't happen.
~~~[Tuffnut/Fishlegs]~~~
"We've been flying for hours. We've got to land, Meatlug can't take anymore." Fishlegs said as he patted Meatlug for encouragement. "Don't worry girl, just a little further and then we can get you as many rocks as you want." He said encouragingly and Meatlug made a noise in agreement.
"It's not my fault your stupid dragon can't fly that long." Tuffnut said, unamused.
"She can't help it! She's a gronkle!" Fishlegs fought back. "Don't listen to him. You're the best dragon I could ever want." Fishlegs said, again encouraging Meatlug to press on.
"Ugh, whatever." Tuffnut said. "Look! Let's land there!" He pointed out a small island barely visible through the clouds.
"Yeah, okay we can do it. Right girl?" Fishlegs asked his dragon with hope. With that, they made their way to the island.
As the two riders and their dragons neared the island, they found an abandoned ship. "Oh cool!" Tuffnut said as he pointed it out and directly flew straight for it
"Tuffnut!" Fishlegs called as he followed him down.
The two landed on the beach and Tuffnut was already dismounting Torch to check out the ship. It didn't look shipwrecked but it did look abandoned. "Wait!" Fishlegs called after him as he followed.
The two of them were about to walk into the ship right then until Savage came out. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked with his men already armed around Tuffnut and Fishlegs. They heard the dragons and turned around to see they were also trapped as well.
"Uh, n-n-nothing sir. Just checking out your lovely ship. Oh it looks great and nicely sanded down." Fishlegs said as he touched the surface of it, although it gave him splinters. "Looks like we'll be going now. Haha, bye!" He said nervously as he turned around to leave with Tuffnut.
"Not so fast there boys. Why don't you stay and chat with us Savages?" Savage asked with a voice that didn't sound too welcoming.
"Wait, aren't you Savage? Does that mean there are more of you? So there's more than one Savage here?" Tuffnut asked as he turned around to face Savage, with a clueless yet excited face?
"Ughh .. " moaned Savage as he did a little facepalm towards Tuffnut. "Why of all people it's you .."
"Why of all people? What about you? Why of all people is it you? Or is it supposed to be them? Or is it of all people why us?" Tuffnut asked as if he were interrogating him.
"What? That doesn't even ma-" Savage was cut off.
"Tuffnut let's go!" Fishlegs said urgently as he started walking away towards the dragons. "If you don't mind I think we'll be leaving with our dragons now .. " he said, although you can hear he was terrified. I wish Hiccup were here, or Astrid, or Ruffnut, or even Snotlout!
"Get 'em." Savage said demanded and his men, Savages, jumped to them and captured them as well.
~~~[Alvin/Savage/Dagur]~~~
"Got them!" Savage said as he landed on the docks of Outcast Island.
"Perrrfeccttt." Alvin said as he stepped forward to see the cargo. And he was stunned at what he saw. Tuffnut and Fishlegs walked out off the ship with their heads down, not wanting to look at Alvin. "I didn't ask for this! I ASKED FOR DAGUR!" Alvin boomed loudly.
Fishlegs and Tuffnut were surprised to see this response. "Hey! What's wrong with us?!" Tuffnut yelled back, obviously offended.
"Shut up." Alvin said menacingly, and Tuffnut for once, obeyed.
Just then, Alvin and Savage looked as another ship landed nearby. "Greeting .. Outcasts." Dagur said in a threatening voice as he jumped off the ship to greet his ex-ally.
"Dagur." Alvin said, almost in a whisper.
"So, I heard you have a Skrill, and I'm ready to make a proposition for ya .. " At that moment, his troops pushed Hiccup as he walked slowly off the boat.
Savage, Tuffnut, and Fishlegs were extremely surprised to see Hiccup, but Alvin wasn't.
"HICCUP!" Fishlegs and Tuffnut both yelled only to be shut down by Alvin.
"SHUT UP!" Alvin yelled at them.
"Unload the Night Fury too! Now," Dagur said, "Where. Is. The. Skrill?" he asked once again, even more terrifyingly, obviously losing his patience. Dagur had already known the Night Fury won't listen to him because of the bond with Hiccup, but he also knew that Alvin wanted Hiccup to train his dragons and if the Night Fury is safe, Hiccup is safe, and that means his chances at getting the Skrill were also. But there were somethings he didn't know. He didn't know that Alvin was betraying him because Dagur did it once before. He didn't know that Alvin also didn't care for Hiccup and capturing him anymore ever since that night he and Stoick had made up.
Alvin pointed at three of his men who were armed. "Sir, we will take you to see the Skrill." They responded as they looked at Dagur.
"Ahh, perfect .. " He said and he laughed his menacing laugh as he followed the three men along with three of his own men. Now all that was left was Hiccup, Tuffnut, Fishlegs, Toothless, Alvin, Savage, Alvin/Savage's men, and Dagur's men.
As Alvin saw that Dagur left he lifted his hand up and made a fist signaling his men to attack. Alvin and Savage along with their troops attacked Dagur's men who were not only unprepared but also unaware at the treachery.
Alvin walked up to Hiccup and his Night Fury, who growled at him. Alvin looked at the Night Fury, then back at Hiccup."I'll help you, if you help me."
"Wh-what? Why are you doing this?" Hiccup asked, confused as ever.
"Because you're dad would." Alvin simply replied as he cut off the rope that secured Hiccup's hands and his dragon.
Toothless was about to attack when Hiccup signaled him to stop. Hiccup looked up at the might strong man who he once feared and hated, to see that even behind all this, he wasn't so bad in the end. He nodded his head and ran towards Fishlegs and Tuffnut.
"What's going on?!" They both asked.
"I like it." Tuffnut said after that.
"No time to explain, we fight off Dagur's men got it?" Hiccup said as he untied them.
Hiccup and Toothless started firing at Dagur's ship while Tuffnut and Fishlegs helped in hand-to-hand combat as soon as Dagur ran back.
"THERE IS NO SKRI-!" He stopped as he took in the sight. Alvin and Hiccup's forces were attacking him. He quickly ran over and tried to fend them off but they were too strong together. "RETREAT!" Dagur yelled as he jumped onto one of his ships and they began sailing away.
After the battle, Hiccup flew towards Alvin. "Let me take you back to Berk." Alvin said as he looked at Hiccup with no emotion.
"Why?" Hiccup asked, not fully understanding Alvin's motives here.
"Because I want Berk to see that I am no longer a traitor to them. And plus, you guys can't fly back altogether. You only have your dragon!" Alvin said as he pointed that out, which got Hiccup thinking.
~~~[Astrid/Eret/Heather/Valka(During everything that happened above)]~~~
"HICCUP!" Heather yelled as she frantically searched through the forest with Astrid searching next to her.
"There!" Astrid yelled as she pointed out obvious markings of a struggle. She put her hand to the ground and traced around the edges of a dragon paw, obviously Toothless'. "It's .. It's Toothless'." She said, trying to hold back a cry. Astrid didn't cry often, but knowing that Toothless couldn't even get away from what got Hiccup, she was already fearing the worst.
Heather ran over to Astrid where she sat near Toothless' foot marking. "It's, it's going to be okay." Heather said as gently as she could, even though she, herself was also thinking the worst.
"It's all your fault! Every time you come here you always bring bad luck with you. For all we know you could've arranged all this!" Astrid yelled, accusing Heather.
"ASTRID! What are you talking about?!" Heather yelled back at her. She was taken aback at her accusations and was starting to get offended. "I know you get jealous when you see me and Hiccup but that doesn't mean I planned any of this!" She yelled back to shut Astrid up.
Astrid was about to throw her axe at her until Eret grabbed Astrid's arm back. "Astrid!" Eret yelled. "I know you're mad and I know you're scared but blaming each other won't help!"
Astrid was beginning to get fed up. She had it with these people. If she was going to find Hiccup, it was going to be by herself. She looked around at the three if the who were looking at her. "Stormfly!" Astrid called as her Deadly Nadder landed near her. "I'm going to find Hiccup myself." And with that she flew off, not giving Eret, Valka, or Heather to say anything back.
~~~[Astrid/Eret/Heather/Valka/Fishlegs/Tuffnut/Hiccup/Alvin/Savage/Snotlout/Ruffnut(After everything that happened above || Everyone at the reception is already too hammered to notice anything going on now. It's been hours since it started.)]~~~
Astrid finished circling around the island a few times and was just about to head out and check the other islands before she spotted a ship nearing the beach. "Is that an Outcast ship?!" She whispered to herself. "Down there girl!" She pointed down towards the beach where the ship was for Stormfly who began descending.
Snotlout and Ruffnut ditched their own reception to get to 'their' spot on the beach until the realized there was a ship docked on it. And at closer inspection they found out it was the Outcast ship. "We need to get Hiccup and Astrid." Ruffnut whispered to Snotlout.
"No. This is our village. We can do this. He wouldn't attack like this, would he?" Snotlout said as he started parading down towards the beach, closely followed by Ruffnut who was still very unsure.
"Snotlout look!" Ruffnut said as she pointed at Astrid nearing the beach. Snotlout looked and nodded his head. The more the merrier.
I separated everything just so it'll make it easier on you guys when reading it so you know that it's on someone elses' perspective in the group.
As Astrid got closer to the ship, she was about to attack the sale until she noticed Hiccup on the deck of the ship with Tuffnut and Fishlegs. "HICCUP?!" She yelled as she dismounted her dragon and began running.
"Astrid!" He yelled back as he started running off the ship towards her with Toothless closely following behind him.
"Wait a second. Hiccup? with Alvin?" Snotlout asked Ruffnut who looked just as confused as he was until she heard a familiar voice.
"SIS!"
"TUFFNUT!?" She yelled as he started running towards her. When he met up with her, they banged heads together and they looked like they were extremely dizzy, but Snotlout look a lot dizzier than the did.
"What's going on?!" He demanded only to see Fishlegs running off the ship greeted by Meatlug his gronkle who found her way home along with Torch.
Hiccup ran straight into Astrid's embrace and he hugged her as tight as he could. "Tonight was abso-" He was about to say but he got cut off.
Astrid let go of him and she punched him on the arm as hard as she could. "THAT'S for scaring me" she said, then she punched him not as hard but still hard into his stomach which made him wince, "THAT'S for getting me mad at you about Heather and not explaining anything." Then before Hiccup could speak n his defense, she put her hands around his face and pulled his into hers as hard as she could where they kissed passionately, then she let go. "And this is for coming back safe and for me being the first person you're looking for." Which only made Hiccup smile ear-to-ear and he grabbed her in closer for another kiss.
As all this unfolded, Eret, Valka, Heather, Savage, and Alvin appeared on the beach.
"What?!" Eret yelled questioningly.
"ALVIN?!" Valka gasped as well as Heather.
"Well isn't this a lovely sight?" Alvin said.
"It is." Savage agreed as they both looked at everything going on.
When Astrid and Hiccup finally let go, everyone neared towards Hiccup for answers, while Savage and Alvin watched the scene unfold before them. "This'll be interesting." said Alvin.
"Loverboy! What happened?!" Snotlout was the first to ask as he made his way past everyone, who was also expecting the same answer.
"Well .. I was at the cove when Dagur captured me." Hiccup began only to hear a couple of gasps.
"Dagur?" Astrid asked.
"Yup, Dagur. Then he took me and Toothless onto his ship and took me to Alvin. I don't know how, but Tuffnut and Fishlegs were there captured as well but by Savage and Alvin." Everyone was extremely confused at this and wanted to know more. "Dagur told me and Toothless to get out and we did. Then he was going to trade us for his Skrill that he thought Alvin had." Hiccup took a breath. "But I guess Alvin tricked him and I helped him fight Dagur off for him to retreat and then he took me back to Berk."
"But why?" Astrid asked looking puzzled.
"I don-" Hiccup said but was cut off by Alvin.
"Allow me." He said, "Dagur had already turned his back on me once, and I wasn't going to let him do that to me again. So with that, I organized a scheme to get him to capture Hiccup in return for a Skrill that wasn't there. I sent Savage out to capture Dagur and his men, but he ended up bringing back those two," He said as he pointed to Tuffnut and Fishlegs. "So we decided to join forces together to defeat Dagur."
"Okay wait, so .. Alvin is a good guy now?" Snotlout asked, even more confused.
"Yeah, is he?" Ruffnut asked, eying him.
"Nope. But for tonight, I will be. But I shall probably head back now. Dagur will be on the move. Make sure to keep your sights up." Alvin said as he and Savage both turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Hiccup said as he stopped them. "I-I just .. Thank you." He managed and he received a nod from Alvin and a smile from Savage as they entered their ship.
Eret didn't understand a thing that was going on, but he stood there, still trying to grasp the idea of what happened.
Valka, who had enough excitement for the three days wanted to go home. Not only did Alvin remind her of Stoick because they were so close before Stoick got chief, but she didn't even want to think Alvin was still here. She started walking home when she was stopped by Hiccup.
"Mom? Are you okay?" Hiccup asked concerned.
She smiled at him and kissed him on his head. "Yes sweetie I am. I'm glad you're safe and I just need some time to think. That was Alvin?" She asked, expressing her confused self.
Hiccup smiled and nodded his head. He realized now that she was there when Alvin betrayed Stoick.
"I-I don't even want to think about this .. " Snotlout said as he started looking anywhere but where the ship was sailing off to.
"Oh!" Ruffnut said. "Meet your brother-in-law!" She said as she put her arms around Snotlout.
"That's awesome dude!" Tuffnut said happily. "Too bad I already knew." he said again, in a bored tone.
"Wha-what?!" Ruffnut asked, appalled. "You knew and you didn't tell me?!"
"Well yeah. He had to ask someone for an opinion." Tuffnut said, thinking his sister was an idiot. The two of them then began arguing as Snotlout watched his wife and his brother-in-law. He didn't really know what to do here.
"Hey Fishlegs." Heather said as she walked next to him. "I-I'm glad you're okay." She said as she blushed to look at him.
"Oh hey Heather!" Fishlegs said excitedly. "Thanks .. " He said nervously with red all over his face. He looked down at the ground and started scratching the back of his neck. Meatlug, sensing what was going on, pushed Fishlegs closer to Heather, urging him to get closer because it was okay.
"Meatlug no, stop!" Fishlegs said as he tried to back up and push his dragon away.
"No, no. It's okay. I kind of like it." Heather said as she got closer which only made Fishlegs blush a little more.
"Okay, maybe you can keep doing that." Fishlegs said to Meatlug and he stopped resisting the force of his dragon.
