Toothless flew up high as Hiccup commanded , the Night Fury was a bit confused to why his bestfriend wanted them to sore higher from Berk till suddenly Hiccup loosened his belt and was now seconds away from the dragon. Toothless felt his weight lighten till he realized Hiccup was doing another stupid and deadly stunt, but the dragon couldn't see any helplessness from his rider. He didn't mind chasing him.

Hiccup, on the other hand, is clearing up his mind by flying on Toothless. It was expected, expected that they needed him to talk, needed him to explain where 'he' had been. No doubt that Astrid would follow him, it was surprising because Hiccup was expecting his father to come and talk to Rider. Well he did thought his father was stubborn to know but it had to be the woman who's chasing him for hours right after he got up from his deep sleep. He had to explain, he had to talk, he had to face them again but this time under the name of Rider.

Although he could just ditch them and run away, away from this stressful isle full of viking problems. All what Hiccup wanted was to have peace and privacy. Who is he kidding, why does he need peace when everybody needs to kill to survive? And when will he get privacy when he knows every enemy he had wants a bounty on his head, every move he makes seems to be recorded.

But Hiccup is a man of his word and running away is coward move, even though he had ran away in the first place but that's another side of the story. He ran away because he doesn't belong to any one of them on Berk. This time he's a total alien in their eyes. It may also be a cowardly to move to just cover their faces because of the shame they had of Hiccup, Hiccup the Useless.

He tried to open his flight suite but the dragon chasing after him knew that he hadn't perfected his landing, just yet, so before his rider could do another near-to-death stunt he grabbed his left leg, or should we say prosthetic leg, and carried Hiccup upside down. Hiccup knew it was so good to be true for Toothless to let him do anything stupid.

"Ok bud I need to land, I've had enough air on my head" He said while still upside down, Toothless flipped him up in the air and put him still on his saddle. Toothless sped up to the cove making sure his bestfriend really had enough stunts for the day.

As they landed Hiccup gave Toothless a basket full of fish then prepared himself for the 'talk' he'll have with Astrid and Stoick. After Toothless finished his pre-lunch Hiccup scratched his chin making Toothless wag his tail and finally lay down on the glass, smiling. Hiccup chuckled by the sight on how this deadly dragon from lightning and death himself could be so damn adorable, if only the world knew how dragons could be a benefit to everyone.

"I'll be back again bud, back me up when I'm not here by sunset"

At the Great Hall

Astrid paced by the entrance, he was running late. She'd been waiting for over an hour and it'll be the village's break soon. She guarded the entrance, inside the hall was the remaining team of the council. She called for Gothi to attend but she refused , the nurse apprentice she had said that Gothi have plans to do today. By the looks of it the elder was doing a ritual of some sorts. Gobber didn't want to attend, he was still knocked out. Astrid tried to pull him out of the shop telling him about Hiccup's wherabouts, but instead he blurted out 'I knew who he is'.

What could he possibly mean? She wondered as she paced once more, maybe he was just dreaming or Rider might have introduced himself to Gobber. Or maybe......

She pushed that thought away, Hiccup couldn't be that good in battle and she knew his voice couldn't be that deep and dark. She knew Hiccup wouldn't be that sarcastic and he wouldn't dare pick a fight to every dangerous viking in the archipelago.

She stopped for a moment, what if he did survive for five damn years and took the advantage to train himself? With a NightFury with him? It could be possible they might have went to different islands and tried to blend with them. Johann did said that this Rider travel like lightning speed, he was on this island and on the next day he was on another island miles and miles away from the first island he was on. Strange but yet it connects, but there's something missing, something that would really fit the puzzle.

"You're in deep thought Milady-"

Astrid's thought's were caught up by someone calling her politely, she turned around to see Rider fully dressed but smelled like fresh sea air. To her surprise Hayley was riding on his good leg.

"-got into a speed bump though." He pointed out at Hayley who was practically giggling.

"I presume you went fishing and got a fan girl all of a sudden?"

"Perhaps I did, just needed a good breakfast and pre-lunch after catching a wild Whispering Death and been attacked by four young female vikings"

She could laugh at that thought, not only her gang had attacked him but he might be the ladies' man.

"Oh got caught by other maidens?"

"If you should know they are still kids"

"You must be good with kids huh?"

"Pretty much, I like the way they enjoy themselves I get hungry though when I play with them too much"

"Why don't you just eat here at the hall instead of tiring yourself catching fish?"

"I prefer eating fish freshly caught in sea than meat Milday, I eat like a dragon"

Eat like a dragon huh? She thought of that. And good with kids

Once they were done talking nonsense, Rider patted little Hayley's head gently to physically tell her to let go. Hayley happily obliged with him for she knew who he was under that mask that she almost called him 'Hiccup'. He nearly got caught, luckily Heather showed up and making Hayley run straight to her. It almost looked like Heather ran up to the Great Hall's stairs, probably just making sure he wears that mask ALL THE TIME. Hayley wasn't just Heather's responsibility but also making sure that her idiotic companion doesn't get uncovered.

Rider gestured his hand to let Astrid take him inside the Great Hall.

"After you Milady"

She give him a smirk pretending that she wasn't quiet amused with his charming politeness, although deep inside her wants to feel pleased.

Deep inside the hall sat the chief of Berk, beside him was Spitelout and two of the rest of the council.

"They are as if not pleased to see me" Rider protested keeping his demeanour cool and calm.

"You'll get used to it, we had much worst councillors before"

Hiccup knew who they were very well; Bash, Aren, Rosh and Scar. They were a part of kicking him out of Berk, planting nonsense to Stoick that his son was nothing but trouble. He was glad that they aren't around anymore, Hiccup knew they were gone.

Before they could even reach them Astrid turned to him.

"Listen when you told me to get the whole council.....I know they wouldn't be fully interested with Hiccup right now. I only told them about the progress of your dragon hunting"

He stared at her before looking behind her, well of course Spitelout is there, how could he possibly be interested of Hiccup. But his father....he could see by the looks of his eyes that he was pleading for answers from him.

"Don't worry, just leave everything to me"

As Rider got nearer the table, Astrid sat on the far left of the table and noticed that it wasn't just the elders that were here but the rest of the gang was there too.

"The Dragon Whisperer or Dragon Conquerer or also known as Rider. You have been in Berk for three days now. We would like to know the progress of your dragon hunting-" Spitelout spoke first. "-It is taking you so long to exterminate those lizards"

Hiccup clenched his fist because of annoyance from this original jerk of a Jorgensen bur he only snorted before answering him back.

"Well isn't in obvious that I was knocked out right after taking out that mad man who was about to kill the entire population of Berk. I should be thanked after doing more than just my main job"

Spitelout was taken back and got pissed by his sarcasm "Why you little runt...." he was ready to chop Rider's head off but Stoick calmed him down. Rider in the other hand continued.

"Oh don't you worry chief, I started my main objective last night right after I got up from the healer's hut. It only took me the whole night to finish the job"

Everyone inside were at awe, this guy is ready for anything but Astrid was still not amused. Hiccup had that kind of habit too, if he hadn't finish his main goal by day then he'll go on a all nighter and try to finish by dawn. Rider on the other hand was grabbing onto something from his inner armour till Astrid noticed a dagger hanging in his side. It was Hiccup's dagger!!

"How in the hell?!" she shrieked silently , trying not to make a scene before the table. She just remembered that she threw the dagger to Rider in the arena. Rider was weaponless that time and Dagur was about to kill him so she threw the dagger for Rider to reach. It was also the only weapon she had in mind to lend. Too much worried about Rider's condition and state she had totally forgotten that the dagger wasn't in her possession.

"What do you have in there lad?" Stoick spoke and pointed out at a booklet that Rider brought out. It looks like something Hiccup would keep with him. Stoick wondered, it did look similar to Hiccup's notebook where he used to draw and write his stuff although it looked so old and worn out.

Rider laid the booklet down and opened it. He didn't flip the page he literary opened it. What came out was a map, A bird's eye view of the Viking Archipelago.

"This-" Rider pointed out on an island "-is Berk itself.... and over here-" he moved his finger to another island "-is Helheim's Gate.....This is where your dragon problem started"

Everybody went near the map to take a good look at it.

"We've sailed and searched that for loads of times for the nest but we only ended up getting attacked thanks to the fog that seems to never disappear" Spitelout blurted out, Rider chuckled as if Spitelout had said a good joke.

"That was no fog, that was steam coming from a queen dragon of that nest, apparently it's like a volcanic island but the queen has destroyed the nature's beauty of it.....That queen is the reason your dragon raids started."

Rider paused as he hears the whispers of everyone inside the hall about this 'dragon queen' that caused their raids.

"The queen controls the dragons on nearby islands. Dragons from Berk had the most number of dragons and commonly is the nearest place to raid. The food that they stole is not theres to take but they give them to the queen. If you want to protest that the dragons should not have take under control by this queen then it's hard to believe that the dragons can't resist the queen's power. Once they don't satisfy the queen, they'll end up get eaten by it"

He paused again for a bit as he remember the sad feeling he had when he witnessed a poor Gronkle got eaten by the queen.

"So like I said earlier the steam that you all thought was a fog is something the queen would do when it sense intruders coming. It uses its body temp to,heat up the island causing the water to boil producing out steam. Once the whole island is covered with steam the queen let the rest of the dragons to do their work......I know you couldn't find the queen that easily, the way to the island is like a maze to the death judging by the tall sharp rocks that caught the rest of your ships. The queen hides very well indeed. Only a dragon could find its way to her and I know a certain man had done the job"

Stoick was amused with the news Rider provided, well it was more than just a news. Everyone was quiet, they too were highly interested with this. Then Rider started walking trying to go around the table.

"He's one magnificent man, such a waste his village would throw him away. He invented so many things including my prosthetic leg here and made a map!-" Rider pointed out at the map "-He called the queen the Red Death and managed to get away with it while escaping with his Night Fury, but then he came back just to kill it. Successfully he did killed it, now today makes sense that you guys don't get raid oftenly. We met a few days after he was banished"

Spitelout smirked "Well this man might have been lucky enough to face such dragon...."

"It's not just 'a dragon' good sir, it measures twice as big as Berk if you must know" Rider shot back hotly at him.

"Not even your men or even Dagur's armada couldn't face this creature. You spears and catapults are useless against it.

Everyone froze by his statement. A dragon twice bigger than Berk or bigger than they expected. Who knows what could happen to Berk if these raids continues.

Stoick on the other hand was close to recall who this Rider is referring to, if he mentioned this man is riding a Night Fury so does that mean.....

"The man you were saying lad. If he was the one who killed the dragon then can you tell us who he really is? Who is he Dragon Conquerer?"

Rider stopped exactly where he stood first with Astrid minutes ago. He faced Stoick and the rest of them inside the hall.

"Truth be told, that I shouldn't be called the Dragon Conquerer for I did not faced the Red Death and lead its dragons to freedom-"

True it wasn't Rider but during that time he was still Hiccup..."-the real Dragon Conquerer is no other than Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third"

And by there they the hall went silent hearing his whole name fully after years that they have forgotten him it was only now they brought up the topic. Everyone couldn't believe it, even Astrid nor Stoick couldn't believe. Well we sure do know that the rest couldn't believe it neither.

Hiccup could have a good laugh seeing their faces being blown with the sudden news. Fishlegs, Snotlout, the Twins even Astrid's jaw dropped. Only one question remains, how on Thor's land did Hiccup do it?

"How?" someone asked, as if on que.

"Right after he escaped he planned on taking the queen down. Once he had all he needed he went back to face the dragon himself and his dragon friend and studied its body and weaknesses. It's eyes were small but the wings were huge, although as big as it is it moves really slow. He lead it to the grey skies so the clouds would act as his camouflage desguise. They used plasma blast to weaken him like it was Thor battling in the sky. The Red Death got pissed so it flamed out around the vicinity of where they are flying. After making the perfect dive for the Red Death to follow it doom, they plasma blasted the Red Death's forming poison gas from its mouth and it kind of exploded i side the monster. They got out of the flames just in time the Red Death crashed to its death."

Rider was tempted to scratch his missing limb. He retold his story defeating the Red Death and how he lost his limb. They did got out of the flames but not everything was saved from him. It's a good thing they didn't bother to ask what happened to his limb, vikings don't bother asking, they wait for the victim to tell their tale how they lost their body parts.

"You said he was on a dragon, I believe that was a...."

"A Night Fury"

Stoick spoke up about his son's dragon from his chair which made Rider felt the mixture of panic and relief through his nerves

"Yes a Night Fury, and they're both a pretty good team-"

"Since when did this happen, the end of raids and killing the gigantic beast?" He interrupted Rider which Rider was surprised with Stoick's sudden questions. On the other hand the chief was relieved with this.

"About 3 years ago" Rider answered.

"And then?" yet another question

"They flew off already out from the nest and started going on adventures I suppose"

Stoick's relief from his eyes suddenly disappeared. Though he felt good that his son had at least survived for two lomg years, he expected he'll be dead by dawn of the morning the last time he was on Berk. But the thought of his son's intention to not com back nor to drop hints of closeness after facing Death himself. Then the people around are aware that Hiccup is more accustomed with a dragon rather than his own kind.

"What about the shields and swords that were brought into Berk, was he too who forged those?" someone else asked.

"Yes he did and helped bringing it into Berk. Out of Gronkle Iron and forged perfectly for vikings like you. Even made me a good leg"

Stoick didn't catch the sarcasm there but when he said Hiccup forged swords and shields for Berk then that's something made hum feel that his son did care for his old home. He knew Hiccup was good in forging weapons and such.

"Then you ride with him, does that mean you are one of those traitors too?" questioned the other though Ridercalmed himself not to throw a knife at him.

"Yes I do ride with him but not I can't tell nor lead you to him"

Then Stoick wondered. "How do we suppose you are not the person we are thinking of?"

All looked at Rider with curiosity especially at the raging eyes of a blonde valkyrie whose mind never swept away of him. Rider stayed calm but deep within him he was not ready to be caught nor get to reveal himself. Stoick arched one brow, waiting for him to answer.

"I assure you I'm not the scrawny young boy you once knew"

"Really? How would you prove it then?"

Rider was prepared for this, "Have you ever thought how impossible for a young scrawny to boy defeat one of the most dangerous vikings today without a dragon? Believe me Hiccup couldn't lift a shield right?"

Everyone sort of agreed his statement, well this statement is a lie and the truth. Five years back he couldn't lay a finger on Snotlout, he couldn't lift a shield but with months training harshly from a different race other than vikings then it's possible to defeat Dagur.

"You vikings never learn don't you? Even his own blood would let him be just for the sake of being the chief. If I were you I would have let him stay and give him a chance to prove himself but no you have to shut him down. And why are pressuring me on this? I thought I was summoned here to tell you guys that I've done my job but then again you treat me like a convict who isn't welcome to be here. But guess what, he has no intention to return here not even the slightest bit and I know you don't CARE anyway"

Rider's blood pumped, he seems to be uninterested inside the hall with these annoying people. As if it wasn't him who was forced to be summoned in the hall. He marched towards Stoick and whispered angrily at him.

"He will never come back. Never"

He step back then marched his way out of the doors.

Everyone was talking loudly again but Stoick remained stoned at Rider's last words.

He will never come back

A tear tried to threaten him to cry like a river but the stubbornness of vikings failed him to do so. A price he has to pay for disowning a son.

Astrid had no idea what the man had said to their chief, by the looks of Stoick it doesn't seem to be pleasant. Stoick has been off ever since his son ran away and had neglected his duty as a chief. Little by little Spitelout had been in charge of his work. The thought of a Jergenson holding Berk freaked her out.

So Hiccup has no intentions to come back, it was expected. He purposely ran away not exiled, it was his choice to run away with the dragon. Astrid knew Hiccup would do such because he doesn't belong here. She was hoping for his return but in what world would she be for him to come back. Unfortunately there was none, her thoughts went on till she watched Rider walked out of the hall.

This can't be, he needs me to tell me where is

Astrid sprinted off of her spot.

"And where are you going?" Ruffnut halted her just in time.

Annoyed by her friend she tried to lush her away but it was no use.

"Ruff get out of my way!!"

"Not until you tell me what's going on missy, you've been acting weird since we last saw him"

"I badly need him to take me to Hiccup"

"Are you seriously still into that fishbone?"

Her cheeks almost went into fire but she pushed that blush back by pulling Ruff's braid down to her lips.

"Look, if you want Stoick to stay fit taking control of Berk then I need to help him to find Hiccup. Would you want a Jergenson to take the place and be there slave?"

Ruff widened her eyes "Hell no!!!"

"Good, so get outta my way"

She sprinted out of the hall to catch on Rider and there he is almost at the end of the stairs.

"RIDER!!"

Rider looked back and saw Astrid getting to him.

Shit what do they want again?

Well from that matter he wasn't interested anymore so he made a cowardly move, he sprinted away from Astrid.

"What the- HEY COME BACK HERE!!"

And it was like the first time Astrid chased Hiccup around the village. Hiccup would make diversions but Astrid could still spot his way. He cold run faster if only he had two complete sets of legs. When the coast is almost clear he spotted Heather really much relaxed and smirked evilly at him.

"Having a good run?" She asked, the grin still plastered.

"Do you mind, a lunatic blondy is chasing me"

"Well that ain't my problem Dragon Conquerer you made your own problem.

Rider gave her a death glare in which Heather rolled her eyes.

"Oh all right"

Heather let Rider run freely before she spotted Astrid. Astrid saw Heather too so she decided to ask where Rider passed.

"Oooh you just missed him I think he went at Raven's Point, he was kind of in a hurry"

"Ok then, thanks"

And Astrid did went to Raven's point but hopefully Hiccup wasn't stupid enough to call Toothless at the cove. Heather knew where Hiccup camped and no other viking knew where the cove was. His camp was just a block away from the cove and for sure Astrid would go circles in the forest.

Meanwhile Astrid was calling Rider's name for the hundredth times. She lost her breath running in circles and she couldn't tack him down as if Heather had tricked her too. It was getting hopeless so she brought her axe out and threw it at a tree. She was frustrated that's what, her only chance to find Hiccup finally out because she couldn't get to Rider.

Just then a figure was passed her eye, a shadow to be exact and it happened so fast but luckily her eyes followed. It was heading to the cove. That might a dragon and when there's a dragon nearby kill on sight. She followed the path where the dragon flew and she was right it landed on the cove. From above she caught a sight of a black dragon with a....tailwing?

Suddenly she heard twigs snapping from below, must be another dragon too. Astrid found her path down the entrance, she noticed it was blocked with some kind of a shield, Berk's shield to be exact!

She examined it and it looks like it wasn't used for so long.

"Hey there bud"

She heard someone speak but it sounded wierd.... or familiar.

"Yeah I'm in a bad mood bud but don't worry I'll be alright just a little sweaty. Just wait a sec let me get this helmet off"

Astrid was looking for that familiar voice from behind the shield, she was too big to fiit under the stuck object she decided to make loose the stealth mode and kill that dragon.

A loud crack was heard around the cove as Astrid broke the shield with her axe. What she saw made her heart drop real bad.

He was there, his masked finally out of the way and every theory she thought of back then connected. It was him all along and she never doubted twice. The man in question turn around along with his dragon, eyes widen as he realized that someone had found him in his hiding place.

"Hiccup!!!" She shouted not out of anger but out of happiness but with mixed emotions like surprise and relief.

Crap!!! He thought. The jig is up and it's Astrid who caught him

again.
