When Hiccup and the others return to Berk they were granted a hero's welcome by everyone in the town.

"I see them! Dragon Tail was coming home!" a man cried.

"Over here. Hurry, check them all out!" a woman cried.

"You guys long enough!"

"We're also proud of you! Welcome back!"

Even Twilight Ogre was cheering for them.

"All right then, people of Berk let's give a round of applause to Dragon Tail! Winning Guild of the Grand Magic Games!" Agnar the Aggressive. "You left, you saw, you conquer!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd and everyone began to crack as they walked down the main street.

"Talk about the change of moods," said Hiccup looking at the others.

"No kidding," said Toothless.

"There's so many people here," Ruby gasped.

"I certainly wasn't expecting this grand entrance, is overwhelming," said Astrid.

"We should expect anything less," Stoick laughed. "We are at the wall the number one Guild in Septem."

"Yes, clearly not the most humble," Valka giggled.

"We certainly can't force call," Cloudjumper noted.

"Hey, Adelaide! You're the only girlfriend I need!" a voice yelled from the crowd.

"Thank you!" Adelaide waved.

"You get the guys, but why don't I give the girls?" Snotlout grumbled.

Spitelout placed a hand on his shoulder. "They're probably already on the ground, boyo."

"You mean fainted at sight of me?" Snotlout smiled.

"No, they just bent down to vomit," said Astrid coldly.

"It's certainly quite a homecoming," said Skullcrusher.

"That's because we put Dragon Tail back on top," said Eret proudly.

"I'd like to thank each and every one of you for cheering us on at the Games," Merrill smiled.

"You need to speak up if you want someone to hear you," Stormfly pointed out.

"All right, let's party!" Agatha cheered.

"Just try not to puke until after the parade," Alvin grumbled.

Ragnar was walking down incomplete silence, he just couldn't shake Ultear out of his mind. Realising that she had sacrificed her very life force to save him was quite a blow.

This did not go unnoticed by Heather, who was now growing very concerned for him. "What's the matter, Rag?"

"It's nothing," Ragnar lied.

Heather could tell that he was lying, but decided not to pry.

"Ruby!" A voice cried from the crowd. Ruby recognised the voice of her landlady. "You did great out there!"

"Oh, hey. Thank you so much," Ruby waved.

"I hope they gave you some prize-money, because your rent is due!" she yelled.

Everyone nearby laughed much to Ruby's embarrassment.

The crowd just stared in awe as they recognise their favourite Dragon Tail members.

"It's Astrid! She defeated 100 monsters by herself!"

"She even took on Camicazi!"

"Yeah, and she defeated Minerva with a broken leg!"

Astrid was starting to get slightly uneasy. "All of this is embarrassing," she muttered.

Heather smiled at her. "I think you may have to get over that."

Hiccup chuckled. "Face it we become famous across the entire continent. If people didn't know us seven years ago they certainly know about us now." He then stopped and lowered his backpack. "Which reminds me, we got a little souvenir."

He then pulled out the massive trophy that had been presented to them by the King himself for winning the Grand Magic Games.

"Is the symbol of our victory!" he yelled.

The members of Dragon Tail then cheered.

"I can hardly believe it," Ingrid cried.

"It sure wasn't easy, but we finally pulled through," said Helga Bailey to hold back her tears.

"And after coming in dead last year after year," Speedfist added his eyes filled with tears as well.

"Dragon Tail is number one!" Wartihog yelled triumphantly.

"Hip-hip hurray!" Phlegma and Brila cheered.

"No one can forget Dragon Tail this time!" Gustav yelled at the top of his voice.

Gothi was in the stand with a smile on her face. "I must admit as humans go, they are special."

Ragnar was still very quiet and Heather was still very concerned for him.

"Ragnar," she said and he turned towards her. "I don't know why you're sad, but maybe you should try at least to act happy for your friends."

Ragnar was silent for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his lips. "You're right," he nodded. 'She didn't save my life so that I can mope around.' He then looked back at Heather. "I'm good now, thanks."

"Glad to hear," Heather smiled.

"Attention please, the Mayor of Berk would like to present Dragon Tail with a gift to mark this momentous occasion," Agnar yelled.

The Mayor cleaned his throat and everyone went quiet.

"This must be what he wanted to talk about," said Stoick as he approached the Mayor. "I don't know we can accept this your grace."

"I'm afraid modesty won't get you out of this one," said the mayor. "Members of Dragon Tail observe, your gift is to my right."

Everyone turned towards the rider immediately their eyes widened. They had good reason, because the kid was none other than the old Guildhall which now stood there in its former glory before it became run down.

"For years you had been the pride of our city, that is why we are honoured to present with a newly restored Guildhall!" the mayor announced.

Everyone just stared at it in awe.

"It's just like we left it," Hiccup stared.

Stoick turned towards the mayor. "Good mayor, your kindness knows no bounds. And I think I can safely say that every one of us love Berk with all our heart!"

That caused the crowd to cheer even louder, but unbeknownst to them a small creature was looking down at them. It was the same creature that had hitched a ride on Orba. In truth this creature was in fact Orba himself.

He then immediately jumped down from the buildings and scurried away through the empty streets.


The next day, Hiccup and his team were making their way back towards the newly refurbished Guildhall.

"Well, I guess it's time for us to get back to work," said Ruby.

Hiccup nodded. "We haven't been on a job since before the Games. Should be a breeze compared all the fights we had."

Astrid nodded in agreement. "It would be nice to do some actual work."

"Yeah, but you think there will be any jobs for us?" Merrill asked.

Ragnar laughed. "I'd be surprised if there weren't any jobs."


All the members of the Guild were already at the Guildhall and soon everything reverted back to normal before Cove Island.

"Yeah, any chance I get another steak from you please?" Speedfist asked holding out his blade.

Wartihog then did the same. "Same here please if you don't mind."

"Coming right up," Brila called. "You boys have worked up quite an appetite."

"Yeah, we just got back from a job so now was starving," said Speedfist.

"We're heading out for another one after this," said Wartihog.

"Everything so lively," said Ruby as the entered the Guildhall. "It feels like a whole new Guild in here doesn't it?" Ruby noted.

"It's nice to see that everything is back to normal," said Hiccup.

"Let's check the job request board," said Astrid.

The job request board was now full to the brim with requests.

"Whoa, there's so many," said Merrill in awe.

"Guess was got around," said Ragnar. "But what job should we do?"

"We better pick something before the good ones are gone," said Stormfly.

Toothless looked at the request board and then saw something that caught his eye. "How about this one?"

Hiccup looked at it. "An elven clan is under attack from an ogre. Apparently destroyed their caravans more than once and is hampering trade-off on the road as well."

"Sounds good to me," said Astrid.

Ruby got to the word ogre. "Did you say was an ogre?"

"Relax Ruby," said Ragnar calmly. "We just fought against an invasion of dragons, I think we can handle one ogre."

"Then let's go," said Hiccup.


They had to take a carriage towards the forest where the ogre was attacking the elven clan. When they entered the forest they saw an elven look out and immediately stopped the carriage.

"We're from Dragon Tail," said Hiccup approaching the lookout.

The lookout looked relieved. "What a relief. Come, I'll take you to our chief."

They started to track their way through the words that's when they saw several trees been uprooted, no doubt by the orge.

"The ogre did this?" Astrid asked.

The elven nodded. "Aye, he's been hounding us night and day and we lost some of our best hunters."

"You should have could have a request form the moment he saw an ogre," said Ragnar.

The elf narrowed his eyes. "We believe that we could handle this ourselves without humans."

"And yet here we are."

"What's done is done, we need to focus upon the here and now," said Hiccup. He then looked at the elf. "Is there anything more you can tell us about the ogre?"

"The chief will be able to answer that question."


They soon reached the elven caravan and that's when they noticed that some of their wagons had been smashed to bits. Also their hearers were busy tending to the wounds of several other elves.

"Merrill see what you can do to help," said Hiccup.

"You got it, Hiccup," she said running towards the healer's tent.

"Wiat up, child," said Stormfly following her quickly.

"What can she do?" the elf asked.

"She has Healing Magic," Hiccup answered.

Elf remained quiet and let them do their chief, who was actually female. She also looked particularly young to be chief.

"Greetings, Dragon Tail," she said respectfully. "I am Iserrill Snowywinter, chief of this clan. Please, sit."

Hiccup and the others bowed and soon they all sat in a circle.

Hiccup looked at Iserrill curiously. "Forgive me for saying this, but aren't you young to be chief of his tribe?"

Iserrill sighed. "I took over when my father killed by the ogre."

Hiccup closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"It's quite all right," said Iserrill calmly. "I take it that you wish to know about the ogre."

"When did this ogre show up?" Astrid asked.

"Very recently, with travelled in this area before and never had an ogre problem," Iserrill explained. "We were travelling down the road like we normally do when this ogre showed up and started to destroy our caravans. With little choice my father led the clan into the woods hoping that the thick trees would slow the beast down."

"I take it in work," Astrid assumed.

Iserrill nodded gravely. "The bees just merely knocked the trees down and tossed stones. Not only are we trapped, but the beast also scares of any prey that we can hunt."

"It's strange," Ragnar frowned. "Ogre's usually live in the mountains in the north. It is unusual to see one on the flat so far south."

Iserrill nodded. "We have no idea why the ogre is here, but we need it dealt with if we are to survive."

"Not to mention that trade will be hampered upon this road," Astrid added.

Iserrill nodded. "Everyone is affected by this ogre. The only other route other than this one that is safe to take is the one that goes through the toll bridge."

Hiccup looked up. "Toll bridge?"

Iserrill nodded. "It crosses over the lake not too far from here and is under the control of the local Lord. His name is Lord Neri and his taxes are excruciatingly painful."

Hiccup rubbed his chin.

Astrid could tell that he was thinking. "Do you think this Lord has something to do with the ogre?"

"Can't be a coincidence that the safest move in this area is now being attacked by an ogre and the only other safe routes in the area is that toll bridge," Hiccup pointed out.

"Yeah, but how could he train an ogre?" Ragnar frowned.

"He doesn't need to train it, he just needs to pointed in the right direction," said Hiccup simply.

"Well, before we do anything we need to find the ogre before it causes any more damage," said Toothless.

"We've seen it not too far from here roaming around," said Iserrill. "It should be too difficult to find, pleaded trailed destruction everywhere it goes."

"Merrill should stay here and help with the injured," said Hiccup. "I'm sure the rest of us should be able to handle the ogre."

Ruby looked troubled. "You sure?"

"We don't have much choice," said Hiccup.


With that said they started to make their way deeper into the forest. Iserrill had been right about finding it easy to track the beast, for they had to do was follow the uprooted trees.

"Have you guys ever seen an ogre?" Ruby asked nervously.

"No," they said.

"So do you guys know what to do when we see one?"

"No."

"Great," Ruby moaned.

Hiccup looked at her. "Ruby there's no need to panic, we faced worse than one ogre."

"Shh!" said Astrid placing her finger on her lips.

They all remain quiet then heard massive footsteps close by and the sound of toppling trees.

"I think we found our ogre," said Ragnar.

They looked over several uprooted trees and saw the ogre near some sort of cave. It was an ugly creature, with jagged teeth, a hairy chest, bald head and the only thing it was wearing was a loincloth that was completely muddy. It had to be a good 10 feet tall and has a dumb look about his face.

"Yep, definitely an ogre," Hiccup nodded. He then frowned. "Strange, it's not as big as I imagined."

Ruby stared at him. "It's gonna be a good 10 feet tall."

"Yeah, but ogres are generally 30 feet tall," said Hiccup.

Astrid looked at him. "You think it's a baby."

Hiccup nodded. "It would explain how Iserill was able to get their hands without much trouble. Ogres are generally left by their parents and fend for themselves, is why you don't see so many of them."

"That's horrible," said Ruby in disgust.

"For them it's survival of the fittest," Hiccup explained. "As a result many of them die young."

Astrid frowned. "If they have no community then how do they repopulate?"

Hiccup looked at her awkwardly. "Like I said survival of the fittest."

Astrid then looked disgusted. "You mean that they…"

"Rape," Ragnar finished.

"I think I'm going to be sick," said Ruby clutching her stomach.

"So what are we going to do?" Toothless asked. "If it's a baby that we can't just kill it."

"We could try moving it," Ruby suggested.

"The mountains are a good distance away," Hiccup pointed out. "How Iserill got here is a complete mystery."

Ruby's eyes then lit up. "Teleportation Spell you used in Edolas."

"I would need a piece of magic talk that," said Hiccup.

"I got some magic chalk in my inventory," said Astrid.

Then suddenly appearing her hand was a piece of chalk.

"That's good, but I need the thing to be kept still long enough for the spell to actually work," he said looking at the others.

"And that's where we come in," Ragnar assumed.

Hiccup nodded. "I'll be too busy drawing, if I may even one mistake it could be disastrous."

"Okay, Ruby and Toothless were lodged your back while me and Ragnar handle the creature," said Astrid.

"Sounds like a plan," said Ruby.

"Then let's do it," said Hiccup taking the chalk Astrid. "Give me five minutes to write the magic circle then lead the ogre towards it. I need to be still for at least 30 seconds for me to complete the incantation."

"Got it," said Astrid and Ragnar.


Astrid and Ragnar then started to take their positions on the far side of the clearing. The ogre appeared to be too busy playing with a few sticks which were actually large tree branches. This was a good thing as they saw Hiccup began to draw the magic circle.

They sat there waiting until they got the okay signal from Hiccup telling him that he had completed the magic circle.

"That our que," said Astrid.

"I'll go first," said Ragnar as he jumped out of the bushes. He then places hands together. "Ice-Make: Lance!"

He immediately unleashed a barrage of ice spikes directly at the ogre, but it's fixed in protected it from most of the damage. Though now it began to roar and charged at Ragnar with a thick tree branch in its hand.

"Requip!" Astrid yelled as she jumped out of the bushes and began to glow. She then immediately stood there in her Deadly Nadder Armour. "Deadly Nadder! Spine Shot!"

She then unleashed a barrage of spikes from her back that actually managed appears to pick ogre skin.

"This way you brute," said Astrid as she floated towards the magic circle in the clearing.

"Come and get us ugly," Ragnar called he did the same.

The ogre roared and began to chase after them swinging his large tree branch. The moment he stepped into the magic circle Ragnar then places hands together.

"Ice-Make: Chains!" he yelled.

Immediately he created a series of ice change the began to wrap themselves around the ogre trapping him in place. Then Toothless, who was in his battle form, and Taurus then each grout in armour and held the ogre in place.

"Hiccup now!" Toothless yelled.

Hiccup places hands together and began to chant.

The magic circle began to glow, but sadly the ogre was not going to sit still. He kept on crashing around breaking the chains that were wrapped around him. Ragnar kept on making more chains, but he kept on breaking them and he was starting to lose his magic power.

"Can't keep this up forever!" he winced.

"Neither can we," said Toothless.

"You can do it!" Ruby yelled.

"Come on," said Astrid.

The ogre managed to break the chain that was wrapped around his arm and managed to what Taurus away. He was sent flying straight into a tree which toppled over the moment he made contact.

"I feel dizzy," he said and then vanished.

"Come on," said Ruby.

The ogre then grabbed Toothless with his free arm, but Astrid appeared out of nowhere and sliced at the arm dealing a very deep cut. The ogre roared in pain releasing Toothless, who immediately flew to safety.

"Hiccup, we can't hold!" Ragnar yelled as he kept on trying to strengthen the chains.

Eventually the ogre was able to break free from the chains and made a mad dash towards them.

At the same time Hiccup finished the chant and suddenly there was a bright light. When it traded the ogre was gone much to the relief of everyone.

"What a relief," said Ruby falling to the ground.

"Look what I found here," said Toothless.

They all turned and saw that he was holding a flag with an insignia on it.

"That's Lord Iserrill's seal," said Hiccup.

"So he was behind it," said Ragnar completely exhausted.

"What do we do with it?" Ruby asked.

"Oh, I know just what to do," Hiccup smiled.


A few moments later they were riding in the carriage back to Berk.

"So what happens to Iserrill now?" Ruby asked.

Hiccup smiled. "Oh, I sent a message directly to the capital. No doubt his Majesty's reading the letter right now."

"With any luck you strip the man of his title and lock him in prison," Ragnar smirked.

"And the elves should no longer have any problem with that route nor will the traders," Astrid added.

"Looks like the scoundrels scheme has backfired on him," Stormfly smirked

"And thanks to the healing I've done they should be moving now," said Merrill.

"All end-to-end well," said Toothless.

They all laughed and then Ruby saw Hiccup the First walking over the road much to her confusion.

"That's weird," she blinked.

"Did you say something?" Toothless asked.

"Well, I thought I just saw our First Master cross the road," Ruby frowned.

"What would he be doing here?" Ragnar frowned.

When Ruby looked back she saw that he was gone. "Guess I just imagined it."

In truth she hadn't, Hiccup the First was making his way into the woods with a fixed look upon his face.


Elsewhere within the forest Orba was skittering down the path until he reached the deepest dark woods. He then landed on the shoulder of Drago, who was sitting cross-legged surrounded by dead grass.

Floating above him was Hiccup the First, who narrowed his eyes. "I thought that I felt your present at the Grand Magic Games, Drago. Did you watch?"

"I neither hear your voice nor see you your face, Hiccup," said Drago. "Yet I know that you're somewhere near looking down at me with those disdainful eyes of yours."

"He's not the only one with disdainful eyes," said a voice. A portal opened in emerging out of it was none other than the Chronicler. "It's been a long time, brother."

"Ah, I was wondering when you would show yourself Chronicler," said Drago not looking entirely surprised. "My, my, the three of burst together again it almost makes me misty eyed."

"It's been seven years since the two of us have been this close to one another, Drago," said Hiccup as he landed on the ground.

"It's been seven years now since the two of us have been this close to each other," said Drago.

"He just said that," said the Chronicler.

Drago smirked. "I forgot that you're able to see and hear him, though I'm not surprised considering the deep connection the two of you have."

"When are you gonna give up your foolish crusade of ruling the world?" Hiccup demanded.

"He wants to know you're going to give up with your dream of conquering the world," said the Chronicler narrowing her eyes.

"Never," said Drago plainly. "I won't stop until it is without a doubt that I am ruler of this world. Only I am able to see things clearly, the two of you should have joined me when you have the chance."

"We won't allow this," said the Chronicler glaring.

Drago looked at his sister. "You cannot intervene and you know why."

"True, but if you do proceed with this plan of yours there will be no place safe from you from my wraith," the Chronicler warned.

"I'll burn that bridge when I come to it," said Drago plainly. He then looked at Hiccup. "As for you you're in no position to stop me from continuing my plans."

"Granted in my present condition I am not able to stop you, but there are others that will fight for what is right," said Hiccup.

"Come now, those people with those same ideals are the worst there is," said Drago as he rose to his feet. "They lied to themselves and everyone giving everyone home when there is none."

Hiccup narrowed his eyes. "Dragon Tail accepts this world with all its flaws."

The Chronicler narrowed her eyes at Drago. "You know full well the prophecy then I foretold many centuries ago. He has the power to stop you."

"I admit that I'm surprised that he survived seven years ago," Drago admitted. "But if you think that boy stop me you're wrong."

"You're trying to start a war," said Hiccup.

"More like a one-sided annihilation, no man woman or child shall be spared," said Drago.

"I swear that Dragon Tail will stop you and wife you're staying from this land," said Hiccup looking at Drago coldly.

Hiccup and the chronicler just narrowed their eyes at Drago, who did the same to them. Drago's power raged across the entire forest and it soon wilted and died indicating that he was true in his attempt for annihilation.
