So uhm, ya. I have had this chapter sitting finished for a month now and I didn't realize I hadn't posted it yet. And I don't think I would have had I not looked back on this when writing Ch. 18 so here you guys go! Oh, and thanks to the reviewers who help me decide how to write the PoV's for this chapter, cause it jumps to somebody new but it starts out normal PoV. Enjoy!

*****************************

"Come on Hiccup, or should I say, Hunter, we should head out," Ragnar said as the two finished getting ready for the day. Ragnar was simply wearing his BDU's with his M1911 strapped into his tactical holster on his right thigh. Hiccup on the other hand, wore his BDU's with his body armor, helmet, and Night Fury skull mask along with his M9 in a tactical holster on his right thigh and Hefnd Nótt in his hands. Even though Hefnd Nótt was a sniper rifle, by using the lowest magnification Hiccup could use it at closer ranges equally as effective.

"Ya ok." Hiccup said, still worried about being recognized.

"Don't worry, if I didn't know it was you I wouldn't even recognize you," Ragnar reassured his pseudo-brother with a pat on the back as they started their walk towards Berk. They walked for a few minutes and got close to the edge of the forest when Hiccup grabbed Ragnar's shoulder to stop him.

"How are we going to explain how we got here?" Hiccup rushed out, worry evident that one little detail left unchecked would spell disaster for them.

"I will say that we brought a RHIB ashore from a larger ship that is now out of sight, or we dropped from a C-130. Don't worry about it Brother, I will deal with it, understood?" Ragnar replied, turning so he was staring right into Hiccup's eyes. After that they proceeded to finished the walk and exit the forest, walking fully into Berk. As they walked farther away from the forest the inhabitants started to take notice of them. They heard cries for the chief start to go up around the village as one of the Berkians came running up to them.

"Stop! Who are you and what brings you to Berk?" The man asked, hand on his axe which was resting on his hip.

"You can stay your hand off that axe, we mean no danger to you or to Berk," Ragnar said in a very calm and diplomatic tone. "We simply wish to form an alliance."

"My hand will stay where ever I want it to stay, so it stays on the axe." Came the response. "Now you two are going to stay here until the Chief arrives." The three of them stood there for a few moments as the large bear of a man who could only be Chief Stoick 'Oh hear his name and name and tremble' The Vast Haddock came walking over to them from the direction of the Great Hall. Trailing behind him was most of the village and all of the old gang, Snotlout, Astrid, Fishlegs, and the Twins.

"What's going on over here," Stoick said, his voice booming as it always did while regarding them with a look that seemed to stare right through them. Hiccup had called it his 'Chiefing stare' back when he was younger but had never been on the other side of it.

"I caught these two sneaking into the village sir." The Viking that had 'caught' them told Stoick.

"Is that right young man? You two were sneaking into the village?" He asked them.

"Then they must be spies if they were sneaking, I bet they are Berzerkers. Why else would they be dressed so weird and not be carrying any real weapons?" Snotlout said, still as tactful as ever.

"Shut up Lout, and let the lad speak," Gobber said as he cuffed the teen behind the head as he walked up.

"No sir, we walked into town with every intention of finding you. We are here to establish peaceful diplomatic relations with Berk and the rest of the archipelago." Ragnar said to Stoick.

"Who are you and where might you two be from? I haven't heard of any new Villages being formed." Stoick responded, asking the question that everybody was wondering.

"My name is Ragnar and this is my bodyguard, Hunter. The answer to that next question is something I would rather disclose to you in private Chief." With that response, all heads turned towards Stoick to see what his response would be.

"And why is that Ragnar?"

"It is something that carries a great weight attached to it and before it is told to the whole village I would rather only let one know," Ragnar said, gesturing to the crowd that had followed Stoick and then gather around them as they were talking. In that crowd, nobody noticed Snotlout walk away from where the rest of his peers were. That was until a cry rang out from behind Ragnar, causing everybody to turn and look.

"Don't touch my gun!" Hunter shouted as he stood over Snotlout who was laying on the ground.

"What happened Hunter?" Ragnar asked him, wanting to know what really happened before Snotlout twisted it.

"Snotlout made a move to grab my pistol, so I punched in the face. Oh, it felt so good to finally be able to do that." Hunter responded to him, glee evident in his voice.

"What happened over here." Stoick boomed out over the crowd as everybody had started talking, effectively quieting them.

"He just punched me in the face for no reason!" Snotlout shouted as he got back up.

"See Stoick, I knew they were dangerous, just look what they did to my son for no reason!" Spitelout said as he got involved and pushed his way through the crowd to his son.

"Now wait a minute, that's not what happened at all," Ragnar said. "Snotlout there made a move for Hunter's weapon so he responded to get him away."

"What's the big deal? That thing is too small and misshapen to be a real weapon." Snotlout said, drawing his sword, and swing it around. "Now this is a real weapon."

"Snotlout, if you don't stop then you will have stable duty for a week. These two men are here peacefully to form an alliance, you will treat them with the respect of a visiting Chief." Stoick said, slightly scolding the young man. "Now that goes for the rest of you as well. Now go back to what you were doing, this is now a private matter." He shouted to the rest of the village, who begrudgingly went back to work. "Follow me, we can talk in my house where we can speak in private."

"Thank you, Chief," Ragnar said as he and Hunter followed the massive form of Stoick to the man's house, leaving the few who had tried to follow and listen in outside as they shut the door.

-Stoick's PoV-

The day was going well for Chief Stoick The Vast Haddock as there had not been a dragon raid the for two nights and the hunters and fishermen were able to bring in enough meat to completely fill the reserves that were kept in the Great Hall, safe from the dragons. Nobody had started a fight yet, which was unusual for the Vikings but Stoick wasn't going to look the gift yak in the mouth.

"CHIEF!" he heard somebody shout as they burst through the doors of the great hall, interrupting a meeting between Him, Gobber, and heads of the other major houses on Berk about what to do about a Heir to the Chieftainship.

"What is it Bjørn?" Stoick asked the slightly winded man once he got closer to the table.

"Two strangers just walked into town from the forest, Arne stopped them and is holding them near the edge of town," Bjørn said, causing a stir in the group.

"Thank you Bjørn, you can go back to them," Stoick said to the man, causing him to leave. "This meeting is over till they are dealt with." With that, the group of six men got up out of their chairs and exited the Great Hall to go see what the strangers wanted. As they were walking over to where Arne had stopped the two strangers they noticed that most of the village was also walking towards the edge of the forest to see who these strangers were.

"What's going on over here," Stoick said, his voice booming as it did whenever he needed to end an argument.

"I caught these two sneaking into the village sir," Arne told Stoick.

"Is that right young man? You two were sneaking into the village?" He asked them, looking the pair up and down to try and make sense of them. Both were wearing a combination of dark browns, black, and greens with an odd sheath on one of their legs, one on the right the other on his left. The man in the back had an odd skull mask and weird helmet on his head while there was a pack on his back and an oddly shaped pipe or something in his hands.

"Then they must be spies if they were sneaking, I bet they are Berzerkers. Why else would they be dressed so weird and not be carrying any real weapons?" Snotlout said, still having not learned how to be delicate in these situations.

"Shut up Lout, and let the lad speak," Gobber said as he cuffed the teen behind the head as he finally arrived, being slower with his fake leg.

"No sir, we walked into town with every intention of finding you. We are here to establish peaceful diplomatic relations with Berk and the rest of the archipelago." The leader of the two men said to Stoick.

"Who are you and where might you two be from? I haven't heard of any new Villages being formed." Stoick responded, asking the question that he knew the rest of his village was wondering.

"My name is Ragnar and this is my bodyguard, Hunter. The answer to that next question is something I would rather disclose to you in private Chief." Stoick was surprised by the audacity that the young man had with him by saying such a thing.

"And why is that Ragnar?" Stoick asked, slightly infuriated by the man's stubbornness.

"It is something that carries a great weight attached to it and before it is told to the whole village I would rather only let one know." The now named Ragnar said, gesturing to the crowd that had followed Stoick and had then gather around them as they were talking. It was then that the man behind Ragnar, Hunter, let out a shout. Hunter shouted something in a foreign language as he stood over Snotlout who was laying on the ground.

Ragnar asked him a question in that same language, presumably asking his guard what had happened. Hunter responded to him and Stoick swore he could hear glee evident in his voice.

"What happened over here," Stoick said, shouting out over the crowd that had started to gossip about what just happened, quieting them.

"He just punched me in the face for no reason!" Snotlout shouted as he got back up.

"See Stoick, I knew they were dangerous, just look what they did to my son for no reason!" Spitelout said as he got involved and pushed his way from behind Stoick to his son.

"Now wait a minute, that's not what happened at all," Ragnar said, turning around to face Stoick. "Snotlout there made a move for Hunter's weapon so he responded to get him away."

"What's the big deal? That thing is too small and misshapen to be a real weapon." Snotlout said, drawing his sword, and swing it around. "Now this is a real weapon."

"Snotlout, if you don't stop then you will have stable duty for a week. These two men are here peacefully to form an alliance, you will treat them with the respect of a visiting Chief." Stoick said, now angry at the young man who would potentially be the next chief. "Now that goes for the rest of you as well. Now go back to what you were doing, this is now a private matter." Stoick shouted to the rest of the village, wanting them gone due to what they now had to talk about. The village begrudgingly went back to work and Stoick knew there would be a few that would try to listen in. "Follow me, we can talk in my house where we can speak in private."

"Thank you, Chief," Ragnar said as he and Hunter followed the massive form of Stoick back to his house. Once they were in his house, Stoick looked back out the doorway and saw the few who he knew would try to listen in hanging around the outside of his house, so he shut and locked the door to his house.

-Omniscient Third Person-

"Let's get down to business, where are you two from?" Stoic asked once they all took a seat at the table, leaving no room for Ragnar to dodge the question. Ragnar glanced at Hiccup before answering.

"We are from outside of the archipelago, quite some distance to the south," Ragnar said. Stoick didn't respond but gave them a look of slight disbelief.

"Where from? Last I heard there was nothing outside the Storm Wall and no ship could pass through."

"That was the case, but that's not the part I didn't want nobody else to hear. The world that we are from has moved past you in every way." Ragnar said. Stoick just sat there and looked at them in even more disbelief.

"Ok, would you care to explain that, please? Though first, how did you get here?" Stoick asked, trying to wrap his head around the fact that apparently, they had been left in the past by the rest of the world.

"We flew here," Ragnar stated. "The technology has advanced far enough that we have bigger boats made from metal and flying machines." Stoick leaned back in his chair, shock clearly written on his face.

"I think you broke him there Ragnar," Hunter said as he took in the sight of his dad surprised to the point of shock.

**************************

And I leave it there. This was dragging on and what comes next I honestly expect y'all to know what happens, Ragnar explains the basic facts about that Berk and the Archipelago are just a small part of the world, and ya know, wait for Stoick to recover from his shock of finding out. I'm sorry if you wanted to see it but I saw no reason to write it and I feel if I did it wouldn't be very good.

Well, that's it. Now I need to work on "For The Deaf and The Telepath". I am actually thinking of a new schedule to write so let's see how it works out.

Semper Fi,
