Home...Again?(Open)

[Maurick]

It didn't take long for them to reach Berk of course but just as everything seemed to be going smoothly trouble reared its ugly head.  For you see despite being put in his place not once not twice but three times, Twice by vikings and once by a night fury Victor still refused to go down, Somehow slipping his bindings once more before jumping on his captors back mid-flight sparking a mid air struggle for control over the rumblehorn which was having trouble keeping balanced with the weight constantly shifting on his back, Rase let out an annoyed roar before shifting his gaze over to see if the young chief and his Alpha were still with them, perhaps they could lend a hand or claw somehow.  Sokki's injuries playing a bigger factor now that the thrill of battle had worn off. Despite his mid-section causing him a lot of pain Sokki did his best to fend off the deranged man while also trying to help maintain balance, if he could at least help Rase reach the docks and land then the tables would be turned on the outcast, not that he would be in for a warm welcome either but it was the best option at the time.

As they flew, Hiccup took a few deep breaths and told himself that they were on their way home, and that he could relax now. It was working until Victor started causing trouble again. Scare tactics hadn't worked on him before, and Hiccup was running out of ideas. He supposed his trusty dragon could come up with something.

He sighed, annoyed. "Take care of this, Toothless." he said. With a grunt the night fury turned toward the larger dragon and snatched Victor right off his back. He made sure to grab him by both arms so that he couldn't flail around as much and couldn't climb right into the saddle. To Hiccup. As soon as they made it to Berk he was going to give this guy a piece of his mind. And maybe take a few pieces off of him, too.

"Hey, are you alright?" Hiccup called to Sokki. He sure didn't look alright, but he was probably too proud a man to admit it. That was the impression Hiccup got, anyway. Gods, he just wanted to get home, even though home was in shambles. Because of men like Victor.

Everything in his gut told him not to let the young chief see how weak he truly was but there was no point to lie anymore. It had become clear just what kind of shape he was in."I've been though alot worse but.. i would be a fool to deny how hurt i am right no-" Sokki stated only to be cut off before he could finish by the now restrained Outcast which despite still being a good distance from the ground was not phased by the thought of falling to his death."You are a dead man Sokki! A dead man! All of you will parish!" Sokki just rolled his eyes at this comment before deciding to fill the male in on something he clearly had forgotten about." Victor, That was a very spirited statement and it'd would of worked on any other island but this isn't just some island and these aren't just some Vikings, Drago has made the mistake of picking on Berk." Sokki spoke with a bit of pride in his voice glancing over at the young chief.  Ash smiled at her dad before snuggling up against Hiccup as silence fell over the scene for the time being. 


"Why do you give a damn about these people anyway Sokki?"  Victor stated probly asking a question that was on everyone's mind at this point and it caused sokki to sigh just abit before looking to the male in question."You wanna know why? Well... I guess theres no harm in letting you know the truth now, Berk is my home... Or it use to be, I'm sure everyone's heard about the boat that was attacked when Drago first appeared in this area, they claimed that there was no survivors but... that's not exactly true, I was on that boat, And i have spent every moment of my life waiting for a moment like this so i could strike back at him, He killed my wife and my son on that day." Sokki stated the pride in his voice had turned to anger, Tears were begining to roll down Ash's cheeks. "Luckily Ash was still at home sick"

[Dusty the Small]

Toothless growled, annoyed, at the man wriggling in his grip, not that he thought it would stop his struggling. No, the only thing that would do that would be to kill him, and he wasn't allowed to. On his back, Hiccup smiled at Sokki's comment about Berk. Even though he wasn't sure if he was from Berk, he seemed quite proud of that little island. Luckily, Victor asked for him and he listened eagerly to what Sokki would say.

And then he didn't have any words to reply with. Even Toothless crooned sadly at Sokki's story, and Hiccup patted him. He remembered how he had felt when his father had died, and he couldn't imagine how it would feel if something like that happened to Astrid. Well, he could only hope that Astrid was stronger and smarter than that, and he thought she was, but then again...

"I'm sorry that happened to you, Sokki. I promise we'll get back at Drago for all the damage he's caused." he said finally in a firm voice. If there was one person on the planet that Hiccup the Peacekeeper would be willing to destroy, it was Drago. He'd stolen their dragons and killed Stoick, and Hiccup couldn't forget that.

Sokki turned his gaze over to the young chief for a moment giving him a slight nod after all if anyone could understand the pain he felt it would be him. "Oh please there is no way in hell that you'd remember all tha-" Victor snapped only to be cut short by a rather dark glare as Sokki reached up gripping the wraps that covered his right forearm and with a single pull the materiel was ripped from his arm revealing a name permanently tattooed on his forearm. "My dear Anya will always be apart of me, I had this done to remind me of what Drago took from me" Sokki stated staring a hole though the man in question, Ash however had decided to try and tune this unpleasant conversation out as she looked around at the clouds reaching her hand out letting it flow though a nearby cloud but as they came out from behind the cloud and she was able to see the water was once it became very clear they were being followed."Uhhh Dad...." Ash stated looking over at her father.

"I will make sure you pay for your part in Drago's schemes Victor, Hiccup can have Drago." Sokki snapped still in his own little world staring intently at the male in the night fury's grasp before turning his gaze to the chief in question." But Draetu is mine" and it seemed either that he had ignored or just not heard his daughter's comment. "Dad!" Ash shouted this time catching her father's attention as he looked over." We have company.." She motioned to the ship that seemed to be following them which only set Sokki off even more after he spotted the figurehead of the ship. A lion with a shackle in its mouth, That figurehead belonged to only one family...His family the Dyrason's," Oi! That's my ship!" Sokki stated of course it had been sometime sense he had actually seen it but still. Just then a chain shot up with a shackle attached to it as it locked around one of the Fury's legs which prompted the rumblehorn to fire a blast at the chain in an attempt to free his Alpha but as the smoke cleared......The chain was still intact."Impossible..." Sokki stated in utter disbelief.

Far above, Holly and Lillydew were returning from a trip to a far away island. They had been collecting herbs that grew in odd places around volcanic activity, but were used in an important herb that treated a life-threatening cough. Of course, her mother, Gothi, had passed down the recipe to her. They were in no hurry to return, so Lillydew glided along the currents to take them home. As they flew nearer to their home, the nadder caught an unfamiliar scent. She whipped her head around, trying to figure out where it was coming from. Lillydew? What's going on? The dragon took a sharp turn in a different direction, catching Holly off guard as she let out a yelp. The dragon flew fast in the direction of where an unfamiliar boat was docked. As the drew nearer, Holly watched as a chain shot out to shackle Toothless. Lillydew! The nadder pumped her wings faster as the both suddenly recognized the danger their chief and Alpha were in. However, an unfamiliar rumblehorn let out a blast of hot fire, but when it revealed that it did not use, Holly suddenly asked Lillydew to back off. The dragon pulled up, but not without flinging her poison-tipped spikes onto the boat, hoping to hit anyone who dared threaten her Alpha. Holly and Lillydew flew next to Toothless and Hiccup and--some girl?--on the opposite side of the unknown rumblehorn and rider. Who the Hel do you think you are-- Sokki? She gazed at the man atop the rumblehorn, who had changed a lot since the last time she had seen him. It was then that she noticed another man being held by Toothless.  What in Odin is going on here?

[Dusty the Small]

Toothless roared at the projectile when it grabbed him. To his relief, he saw that Lillydew and her sweet rider Holly had happened along, although he wasn't sure how they could help at the moment. "We've got a bit of a problem!" Hiccup cried in response to Holly's question. He was clearly panicked, which didn't offer much comfort to Toothless. Acting on instinct, the dragon glared down at the ship for a few seconds before firing a blast, hitting it dead center and hopefully setting it on fire. He didn't take the time to watch; he had to free himself, and fast.

He struggled against the chain, roaring and scrabbling at it with his one free leg. Frustrated, he let go of his cargo. He didn't care if another dragon came along and saved him or if he plummeted down into the icy water. That kind of fall probably wouldn't kill a man like Victor anyway. At any rate, he had three free legs now, which he used to scratch at it some more. Hiccup, it seemed, had plans of his own. He unsheathed his sword and starting hacking away at what he knew was the weakest part of the shackle. They were having some trouble staying right-side-up at that point, but if they were going down, they were going down together.

[Maurick]

A familiar voice rang out causing Sokki to shift his gaze for a moment over to the new arrivals."Holly.." He stated though he didn't really have the time for a reunion right now. Things were going from bad to worse as he watched the Night fury panic and drop the man they had worked so hard to capture and then seemingly out of the blue the monstrous nightmare swooped in catching him before getting within striking distance after all there was no way Hiccup could fight while Toothless remained shackled and a nadder was no match for a Nightmare and as powerful as Rase was he couldn't  fight two foes at once it was either the ship or the monstrous nightmare, Not both. But that's when they got some help from an unlikely source for you see the nightmare wasn't actually a threat but rather a new ally as Victor growled being held by yet another dragon.


The rider removed its hood revealing the rider to be non other then Serah, the same woman that had stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Saw and Draetu."Struggling only makes the restraints that much stronger." She stated staring at the fury and his rider before turning her gaze to the one on the Nadder for a moment then rolled her eyes as she looked at the "vigilante" "You know, the chain may be dragon proof but the whench isn't, Now that's all i'ma tell you and since you did spare my life i'll deliver Victor to your people but.." Serah stated looking right at Hiccup."If we ever meet again just know i won't be so helpful." with that said she took off in the direction of Berk.


With this new  information Sokki instantly looked down at the mask that was still in his grasp as it sparked a gasp from his daughter. "Dad i know what your thinking.... Don't... You are in no shape  to face them by yourself just help us get toothless free and we ca-" Her words were cut short as she saw the look in his eyes as he dawned the mask. He had gotten them into this he would be the one to get them out and the last thing he was willing to do was endanger his daughter. Rase growled and nodded knowing exactly what the male on his back had planned as he started down toward the ship in question. "Dad!!" She shouted but it had no effect.

[Midnight[x]Traitor]

With the events unfolding, Holly had no idea who to trust at the moment. All she knew was that her chief was chained to a boat, and he shouldn't be. For all she knew, Sokki could be one of them now. It wasn't an uncommon thing to happen, especially when Drago offered many enticing rewards to his followers. The promise of power was the most enticing of rewards. Holly watched as Toothless and Hiccup struggled against the chain, which was seemingly impenetrable. They obviously weren't going to get out that way. Holly was about to engage the boat when a female appeared.

It seemed that they were being taken back to Berk. She was unsure of what history Sokki had with this female, but he seemed to be discouraged my the news. Suddenly, Sokki took off for the boat, with his daughter (whom Holly finally recognized) yelling at him to stop. Holly decided that Sokki shouldn't go in alone, and motioned for Lillydew to follow suite. Let's go! She landed on one of the rafters of the boat, screeching down at the members of the ship below. She flung her tail spikes a couple crew members, who barrel rolled out of the way in time. One member threw a rope trap at her, which Lillydew nimbly dodged. Holly wasn't much of a fighter, and preferred not to cause such harmful actions, but these people did not seem willing to negotiate. She purposely had Lillydew miss, but hoped that she could scare them enough that they would back off. In addition, she hoped Sokki was on their side, and would do the fighter for her.

[Dusty the Small]

Toothless roared in irritation at the human woman's obvious statement. What was he supposed to do? Drop right out of the sky, with Hiccup and the girl on his back? No, that was out of the question. Meanwhile, Hiccup was wondering why what's-her-name was helping anyway, when she had been such a problem before. Well, he already knew where the weak spot on the restraint was, and he was working to get Toothless free. But when Sokki and his new dragon dove for the ship below, Hiccup paused for just a second and looked over his shoulder at the girl. "Hey, don't worry about your dad. We'll be out of this chain in no time and we'll get him out of there. Besides, Holly and Lillydew just went after him, see?" And then he went back to freeing Toothless. A few more strikes and the restraint snapped off, scraping the dragon's leg a bit but otherwise doing no harm.

"Well, they wanted a night fury. Let's give them one!" Hiccup cried. Toothless roared again and dove at break-neck speed, landing on the ship with a thud, rocking it. He roared viciously one more time and readied a blast in his throat.

Ash watched as her father made his way down toward the ship before turning her attention to her chief as his words seemed to comfort her abit as did the scene of the other rider following after her father. Thou her eyes widened as the restraints were suddenly removed from Toothless's leg but her attention was drawn down to the ship once more as it seemed the outcasts had finally decided on how to handle the nadder situation as they pointed their crossbows at her and awaited  their captain's order to open fire which he was about to give if it was not for the fact that their situation got even more futile as the newly freed nightfury landed on the bow of their ship posing yet another threat the crew had to face but as if facing a battle on two fronts was not enough.


With all the commotion concerning the nadder and Fury it seemed that the crew and it's captain had forgotten that there was still one dragon unaccounted for. "Half you on the Fury the other half keep that nadder in your crosshairs, We haven't lost this yet!" The captain ordered his men prompting a cheer as they followed their orders without question that was until the rumblehorn roared above reminding everyone that he was still in the area before coming to land on the other side of the crew as his rider slipped to his feet propping his axe against his right shoulder. Now that they were completely surrounded and with no  hope of fending off a nadder, a fury and a rumblehorn the crew turned their attention to their "Fearless" leader."Orders sir?" An Outcast spoke up but the captain didn't respond to the question instead he just started mumbling about how it was not surpose to happen this way. "Orders sir?!?!" The Outcast shouted this time the panic clear in his voice but still there was no response from the captain so actting on their own the crew looked at the three dragons before dropping their weapons and dropping to their knees in surrender.


Unable to resist adding insult to the whole situation Sokki slowly made his way though the crowd of outcasts  after giving his dragon the command to make sure  that none of them tried anything. "What is the matter captain? Hm? You thought Hiccup was by himself  didn't  you so you were  gonna try and take him prisoner right?  Well that wouldnt  of been a wise idea because if the Fury had not of killed you then you would have a whole island of pissed off vikings coming for your hid an-" Once he had gotten with in striking distance the captain threw a punch just one problem thou, He missed and left himself wide  upen in the process as he then found himself  face down on the deck. Sokki looked over motioning for Hiccup to join him.

[Midnight[x]Traitor]

The magenta-colored nadder bared her teeth at the crew, and was just about to leap on a nearby one when the sound of a rumblehorn stopped all of them dead on their tracks. Holly and Lillydew remained tense as the crew members turned to their captain for directions. It was clear, however, that he knew he had been beaten. The crew members all dropped their weapons, and Holly let out a sigh of relief. She slipped off her nadder and landed on the boat with a thud. She was fairly certain she recognized this ship, but wasn't sure. She had seen many, many ships in her life.

Holly snorted as the captain fell face first to the ground. Lillydew bobbed her head excitedly, and Hollydew scratched her chin. Oh, girl, do you want to play? Well, he's all yours! Go get him! Lillydew squawked, then ran over to the captain. She nudged the captain's body with her face, then proceeded to put a claw on top of him. She glanced over at the rumblehorn, determining whether he was a threat or not. No one was allowed near her new play thing.

The boat swayed lightly on the ocean, but it still made Holly's stomach churn. She was uneasy out in the ocean, and being on a rocking boat was not helping. Fortunately, it was a decently calm day. It was amazing to her how fishermen battled the ocean during storms. It was a fight that seemed impossible to win. How could someone fight the whole ocean? The healer shook her head. Well, now that we have things....settled. Do you mind telling me what you've been doing all these years? And who are these people? She had to many more questions, but perhaps that could be discussed at another time.

[Dusty the Small]

Before there was a second to react, Toothless loosed a plasma blast, hitting one of the sails. It was a warning, one his enemies should be grateful to have. Hiccup dismounted and drew his sword, lighting it. He brandished it so that the crew could see he meant business. "Gentlemen, you have two options," he said as Lillydew pinned the captain down. "You can either leave here peacefully, and we'll call off our dragons and forget this whole mess, or... you can keep this up and go down with the ship. You see, Toothless here doesn't care much for people that try to chain him down. Being a night fury, he's pretty difficult to control."

Not the whole truth, but truth enough. He had his confidence back now that he had a nadder and a rumblehorn - not to mention their riders - to back him up. Holly wasn't much of a fighter, but she had sent her dragon after the captain, and that had to count for something. They seemed to know Sokki already, so they must have known how intimidating and strong the man was. He just hoped they were smart enough to leave before things had to get dirty.

Sokki turned his attention to holly upon hearing her voice then allowed a soft chuckle to escape his lips after all it did seem that she was right. Everything was settled for the time being so it wouldn't hurt to answer a couple questions."Well for the most part i was a prisoner of war until i convinced them that i was not loyal to Stoick which to be honest was very stupid of them to believe after that i worked my way into the perfect position to strike but the battle was an unforeseen setback in my plan with Drago limping away to hide, as for these fine peop-" Sokki stopped for a moment as he heard his chief threatening the crew which brought a smug look to his lips but what happened next only seemed to worry him."Hiccup i wouldn't do-" Sokki started to warn only for it to be took late as he watched a blast from the night fury rip though the sail of the ship. He knew what hiccup was trying to do but these vikings were very proud and steadfast in their cause just like the vikings on Berk."That.." as he turned his gaze back to the crew which had reclaimed their weapons but instead of rising to fight they started to knock the weapons against the deck in rhythm and in sync with one another.


Meanwhile Rase disregarded what the humans were doing as his gaze was firmly locked on the nadder. Was this the same one that had helped him out on the island?...It had to be as he shook his head he moved toward her."I know you, You're the one who was with the stormcutter on dragon island weren't you?." Rase questioned for a moment tilting his head to the side before turning his gaze to the captain beneath her, a soft growl escaping his lips as he watched the man struggling as he reached for a crossbow which laid not to far from him....or atleast it use to for you see Rase "accidently" kicked it away from him and watched as it plummeted over the edge of the ship and into the sea.


As Sokki made his way over to his chief as he placed a hand on his shoulder that is until a voice prompted him to glance over his shoulder. "Vigilante siding with the hooligans hm?, Here i thought you were a lone wolf but you are nothing but a coward striking from the shadows, to afraid to even show your fa-" The Outcast spoke but his sentence was cut short as he found the very mask that had kept the Vigilante's identity a secret for so long just flung at his feet."No.....Sokki?... But Drago said.." Outcast stated in shock staring at the man before him."The rumors of my demise Ronnin are very false, Drago didn't want to admit that one of his best warrior had gone rogue"

[Midnight[x]Traitor]

Holly shook her head in disbelief as she listened to Sokki's explanation, and glanced at Ash. The young girl was so small the last time she saw her. A lot had changed over the years. Even the mention of Hiccup's father brought memories back to her. It seemed like it was yesterday that the proud viking was still alive. So much has changed... She whispered quietly. The rhythm and allegiance of the crew members made Holly pull out her dagger defensively. She edged back towards Lillydew in case they needed to make a quick escape. When Sokki removed his mask, Holly inhaled sharply. His face had aged greatly, and she could tell he had been though a lot. She had no idea what Sokki had gone through, and who he stood for now. All she knew was that if Hiccup was on his side, than so was she.

Lillydew cocked her head to the side, ignoring the annoying noises from the humans. Although, the noise did make her slightly dizzy. Yes, now I remember you. I was there with my rider's daughter. She watched as the person squirmed underneath her feet, trying to reach a weapon. The rumblehorn knocked it off the ship, and she could feel the captain go limp with defeat underneath her. She turned her attention back to the rumblehorn. I see you have had a change of heart about humans. Rase, was it? She was glad that he seemed no longer angry.
