I know a lot of you waited for his comeback

Hiccup didn't expect he'll eventually come back to Berk. He avoided flying here and yes his hatred still stings. Never in his life he had called it home, he hated his old life but still this is where he grew up after all. And this was the island where it had started all.

He and Toothless settled down at the Cove, the place where it really had started. The place where he had bonded with a dragon. This place absolutely gave him the inner peace within him. It was still the same as he had left it right after they escaped the arena. Glad that no one from Berk had found time to visit this place yet, guess the vikings are too stubborn to go on to an adventure.

While he was away he had lots of adventures with his bestfriend, they've roamed around the whole viking archipelago, around Rome, Athens and a few places he can't name. He met new people like a few vikings, the Persians, some pirates and his least favorite the Roman Legion.

Romans weren't that kind to him and Toothless, they all thought he was one of those spies or low-lifes who tried to assassinate their ruler. Romans surely does throw away traitors and brand them as low-lives, sometimes they believe on what is superficial with this low-lives rather than hearing them out to explain. Their king isn't smart enough to believe what is real, their generals and commanding officers never do their jobs. They actually corrupt the region, that's why Rome is a troubled place to stay on for now.

Hiccup did set foot in Rome, he was captured while he and Toothless were camping out. They must have seen him flying with the dragon and sought out where they had landed. He was locked up in a prison and he had no idea where Toothless was. Somehow he got out, covered with injuries though.

That wasn't the last time he visited Rome, he comes back to look for something or be a trouble maker for Loki's sake.

Looking for trouble wasn't the only thing he did, he discovered a lot in his travels. He learned about his roots and lands yet to be named. He even met a few interesting people, even discovered one important person in his life. He had time to know them well and fully trusted them. Whenever be needed help they would always be there to back him up.

He calls them the Brotherhood. Well actually they weren't all male there were females too. They came from different races and different culture, branded traitors too from their own people. Some just joined the Brotherhood to move on from their horrible past, some just wants to....join thats all. They were all kind to him, yes, even though he has a pet dragon but Toothless knew they were no threat to both of them. The Brotherhood took Hiccup as their own once they had helped him out from the Roman's inhumane punishment. Once he regained his strength Hiccup let himself be a part of the Brotherhood and made them as his second family.

Although he still wanted to travel with Toothless, only, it wasn't discovering lands he now intends to do. He had learned well from the Brotherhood during his training with them. To have inner peace you must share upon others your strength and power. Of course everyone wants inner peace, Hiccup thought his inner peace would be just flying with Toothless and share the bond. But it hit him, if he wants the world of vikings to have peace between the dragons then he must help and save them from the corrupt.

He and Toothless had saved many lives indeed, including the dragons, without letting the vikings know it was him for it might harm the others. With great power comes great responsibilities. Therefore he needed to hide his identity.

So no one would know who he really is and who he was.

It was a bright shiny morning, Hiccup stretched before attaching his prosthetic leg. He patted his bestfriend before doing a few laps around the cove. He decided to make a run up the hills nearby. Toothless won't mind because he does that everyday but he's highly aware they are in place where people want them dead.

Minutes later Hiccup was on top of the hill feeling the cold breeze of Berk, reminds him of the days he was learning to fly on Toothless. Yes good old time. Some part surely made him miss Berk. Berk is his home, if only the people on it were like the Brotherhood.

Although something wasn't right.

They're up to something

By now Hiccup should have heard Berkians being attacked by Berzerks, crying for help from who ever hears them. Or so, Berzerks could have attacked last night while Berk was defensless.

They're definitely up to something better get in there and warn Heather.

But he knew Heather wasn't stupid enough to be defenseless. She didn't sleep, he knows, because he warned her and she need to be on guard. He, too, didn't get enough sleep, he's waiting for the attack.

Hiccup got down to the cove and patted his dragon again to wake him up. "Hey bud"

Toothless yawned showing his gummy mouth to his human bestfriend, stretched a bit before nudging his head to Hiccup. He chuckled at his bestfriend's antics, but now isn't a good time to play around.

"Come on bud we need to go".

Before he mounted Toothless nudged Hiccup again, Hiccup looked and saw that Toothless was pointing out at something.

His helmet, of course! He didn't want to surprise anyone just yet.

Once he out on his helmet they flew up high till nobody could see them behind the clouds.

Back at Berk....

Barg and a few of his clan, including Martha, are ready to go back at their island. For safety of the rest of the clan they let the children and the weakened to stat at Berk until everything is all right, including Heather and Hayley.

Last night Heather argued that she should come with them to see it herself too.

"Heather please for your own safety, stay. Take care of Hayley"

"And what about you? You need me! I can't afford to loose you and Mom!"

The argument didn't last long until Heather decided to cool off for a bit.

Right now at the docks they were arguing again. Astrid was holding Hayley with her.

"Barg please there's no need to go back there. It'useless, danger is out there let's just stay here"

"Heather how sure could you be that there's nothing for us in there?"

"I....I-I just know. I could feel it"

"Heather, we have to try" Barg pleaded reading Heather's eyed

Heather is close to tears "Then let me come with you-" she croaked out "-please, please. I'm s-scared I might not see you"

Barg gave out a small smile, he surely raised a good child even though she wasn't his. Although in his heart she is a part of her heart. He knelt down so he could face Heather, he placed both his hands on her shoulders.

"Child, don't be afraid. I promise that nothing wrong will happen to me and Martha. I know you only want to protect us but what about Hayley? She'll be all alone here without her loving sister.Protect her for me would you"

Heather sobbed, inside of her she knew something wrong's gonna happen but Barg trusts her and she needs to trust him too.

"You promise?"

"Yes Heather I promise"

And before Barg could even stand up Heather hugged him so tight. Barg had always thought he'd never be a perfect father to replace Heather's real parents. Although he could feel the child does love him, them very much. He hugged back

"Oh child, you've grown big and brave but you still cry"

She sobbed more before answering "Because I love you dad, I love my family very much"

And that was all she could say that made Barg to hug her tighter. Martha went near them and was joined inside the hug, so as Hayley.

"Astrid I need you to stand watch up high for the ship, seek out if there would be intruders coming its way"

Stoick ordered Astrid, she nodded and went on her way to the cliffside. The scene that she had seen was heart whelming but at the same time it pains. Understanding that Heather was adopted by Barg and she feels vulnerable unable to protect them, Heather isn't this average outcast. Also, Heather had only told Astrid her weakness. she promised to herself to keep it as a secret.

It took a few minutes for Astrid to reach the cliffside then it would only take ten minutes for the ship to pass the rock formations or statues that lies on the sea. Once the ship has passed and no signs of inrtuders, Barg and the rest of the crew are safe to sail away.

It was passing right above her, until out of nowhere.

BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Barg's ship is in flames fired from a hidden ship that Astrid missed to see.

Cries of men shouting for help can be heard. Heather let out sickening scream as she watched her parents trapped in a flaming ship. Berzerkers were now everywhere at the docks, some climbing up the mountain side from the sea. Ships filled with intruders were now closing on Berk using the their catapults to burn down nearby buildings. The Berkians aren't fully prepared for this surprise.

Berk is definitely under attack, but hey, Berkians are a bit stubborn when it comes to dying. So they fought back on what weapons they are holding right now.

Astrid was about to turn around and help when a group of horrible looking vikings blocked her way. She turned her back again, thinking if she could jump and land on the ship then she could even have the chance to save Barg and Martha.

Then again a group of three vikings had just climbed from the cliff, this time Dagur infront of her

"My my what a beauty do we have here" Dagur cackled

Astrid drew out her axe which made the men around her draw out their weapons too except for Dagur, who is a bit turned on with Astrid's move. He ordered his men to lower their guard.

"And a feisty one too. You know you could be a fine chief's wife. Why not join and catch that Dragon Whisperer with me"

Instead of a verbal answer she swung her axe nearly cutting-off Dagur's face.

"I'd rather date a dragon than you"

She was disgusted with him, way out than Snotlout's flirtatious words this guy has lust in his eyes.

Dagur frowned with the violent response he received. Well the axe nearly his face but as he touched his left cheek, it was bleeding.

"Too bad, you just wasted half of your life" angrily he said as he signaled his men to corner Astrid.

She has no where to go but still she was on her battle stance deciding first who she strikes first.

Dying? Well she's probably ready for it, a little bit ready. If she dies with her head rolling or even been pierced through her chest then she'll have nothing to worry about it. She's ready for this, at least she wasn't afraid to face it.

A strange screech can be heard a few distance away. Everyone could hear it too and it did sound familiar, as if they hadn't heard that noise before. Dagur and his men heard it too but this time it wasn't strange to them anymore. They knew who exactly who this is.

"NIGHT FURY!!"

Someone screamed and everyone turned their head to the skiy. With a split second the cliffside exploded with a plasma blast.

This is definitely Astrid isn't ready for, she was falling. The blast did hit the cliff but it was enough to push Dagur and his men away. Astrid screamed as she was about to hit the sea hoping she'll live after the impact.

But no, before she even got close the water she was grabbed by her boot. She was supposed to let out another terrified scream. She looked and saw that a dragon and its rider got her. She was sure she heard the rider asked his dragon of they caught her safe. Astrid was sure when she peeped on the rider, surely the rider was wearing a helmet, a pair of emerald eyes caught her by surprise. The dragon nodded before it threw Astrid up again and grabbed her by the arm.

Astrid finally touched the ground as the dragon put her in a safe place. She tried to put herself together after that sudden near death experience.

"Ok bud let's take out the ships"

She heard the rider talk before they flew away without taking a glance at her. Surely the voice was familiar but she couldn't fit whose is it.

The two mysterious figures flew away fast as possible to the docks to try and stop Dagur and the Berzerkers attacking Berk. They fired blast after blast at Dagur's ships, instantly half of the Berzerker's were totally wiped out. The rest of the Berzerker's that were on the isle were distracted from the blast, their only route for escape were finally gone. Little did they know Berkians had enough time to regain themselves to fight back.

"Get them!"

"Intruding scums!"

The Berkians counter attacked the Berzerkers , they gave no chance nor mercy because of the surprise attack.

The dragon continued blasting, tha worried him a lot. Berk would surely suffer from two attacks today, but he noticed something. The dragon is only attacking their enemy, little did he know that the dragon has his own rider with it.

Dagur was able to climb back from where he got blasted. The blast wiped out his men from them cliff and only he and Astrid were blown off. He wasn't even sure if that blond girl hit the water below. As he got to his feet a woman pointed her sword at him accompanied by the twins and Fishlegs.

"Well well Heather nice of you to-"

Dagur was cut off after Heather kicked his gut."Save it"

"Still keeping the Outcast way" he groaned while Heather glared at him.

The small war between Berk and Berzerk finally ended. The dragon in question was out of sight.

As if it had happened so fast. First was an ambush, second Berzerkers were ready to kill them, third a Night Fury came to destroy the ships, fourth Berkians surrounded on what is left of Dagur's armada, fifth the dragon who came to help vanished. What in Thor's name is going on!

"Well this is all of a sudden occurrence, it's like Loki's casting us a spell or something" Gobber said

"You're right Gobber but we don't need to worry that now. We need to have a little talk with young Deranged" said Stoick darkly.

Gobber made a head count of the villagers they have left. No one died from their side, although Astrid is missing. Oh no.

They tied Dagur and the rest of his crew in one place. It seems that they were already about fifteen out of a hundred men awhile back.

Stoick starred at Dagur and asked darkly."What the hell do you think your doing?"

Dagur just gave out a cackle before answering "hahaha you do surprise me the most Stoick the Vast, I was about to ask something curious. HOW THE HELL DID YOU MANAGE TO GET THE DRAGON ON YOUR SIDE!!"

"I have no intentions to team up with a dragon."

"I know he's here"

Stoick starred back confused" What are you talking about boy?"

"Oh don't play stupid, the Dragon Conquerer, we saw a flock of dragons fly here. HE's HERE!!"

I don't now what your idea is but right now, what matters now is this.......MADNESS."

"Why thank you chief I'm glad you like it ahahahaha!"

"Your father would be disappointed"

"Don't you ever bring up that weakling of a father" Dagur went from crazy to anger "I should be THE ONE who should be dissapointed!"

Stoick argued back "He is a great viking, someone we could respect and you should be ashamed!"

"If shame is all we want to talk about then how come you made a shameless off-spring?"

Stoick couldn't hold himself, the boy is just pushed his button "You are going to face this as a treason, you are to be executed because of your actions"

The young one smiled slyly as if he has something under his sleeves.

"You must be forgetting something chief, vikings don't just execute. They duel to the death!"

Everyone gasped, Gobber butted in "This kid is mad! Ye already taken down tribes unhonorably and ye talk viking by laws to us? Oh I'm gonna kill ya right now. Where's my sword, I'm gonna slice his throat right now-"

"Hold on Gobber-" Stoick cutted in "-the boy's right. We are REAL vikings. A duel is a must for this chief to give up our isle and kill him in the process"

"But Stoick this can't be"

"Listen to your chief stinky, unless you wanna fight me"

Gobber, too, was getting pissed with Dagur's actions but Stoick distracted him.

"I'll duel this madman"

"Yer kidding me? Yer getting weak fer the past years, why not let our best vikings compete"

"Then get them, who is it anyway?"

Gobber sweat dropped, Astrid is Berk's best shield maiden viking they ever had. The problem is Astrid is no where to be found as of the moment. They couldn't just get from the others like Snotlout, nor the twins, oh hell no not Fishlegs niether.

"Well?" Stoick asked impatiently

Gobber gulped. "Weeeeeell we do know Astrid is fair enough to compete"

"And?"

"She could so it, the problem is-"

"Is?"

"Uh hmm, well she is no where to be found"

"WHAT!!!??"

"Now calm down Stoick"

Calm down? How could even Stoick calm down if he has a madman on the loose, trying to kill his whole tribe, he's weak enough to fight against Dagur and their best viking is gone and they have no idea whether she's alive or not. If he looses the match then Berk will surely suffer. The tribe is not strong enough with this madman.

"How do you suppose we could save this island without Astrid!?" Stoick screamed as if it is the end of the world.

"I think I could help"

Everyone heard someone talk from far behind the crowd. They all turned around to look back. He has a helmet on that completely covers his whole face, except for his hair though at the back. He wore brown leather suit over his chest and two shoulder pads with a dragon-skull like figure, obviously it's his armore. Everyone could notice he's tall, the only odd one out is his left leg. It is a prosthetic leg that could be detachable and navigable. Everyone noticed too he has a zzlow baritone voice but deep inside he feels uncomfortable with the voice over.

Surprisingly who he has at his back was Astrid, Gobber was relieved.

"The name's Rider, the so called Dragon Conquer"
