The Vikings watched as the past was finally exposed, Astrid made her way over to Hiccup and interlaced their fingers together, she wrapped her other arm around his waist, Hiccup pulled her closer and kissed her forehead, she sighed happily and smiled at his gentle kiss, they then turned their attention to the smoke as figures began to form. Finally the truth was finally revealed to the people.

The smoke formed the figure of Spitelout Jorgenson, his wife Hertha, and his son Snotlout, as well as many more traitors.

"Thank you all fo gathering tonight, I'll make this brief." Spitelout looked to the coup members. "Stoick will be retiring as chief within the next winter or less. And I don't know about you, but I'd rather kiss a dragon than live under the rule of Hiccup the Useless." The coup members hummed in agreement.

"You yourself should take the mantle of chief Spitelout! You're part of the royal family, seize the throne and all will fear the Hairy Hooligans." Mildew spoke, the others nodded in agreement, Spitelout however shook his head. "Unfortunately, due to many within the tribe know of myself and Stoick's past, if I kill him to claim power? I'd be imprisoned and sentenced on the spot." Spitlout then turned to Snotlout and grinned. "My son, Snotlout will become chief." The coup members looked at Spitelout like he was insane.

"I know, I know your thoughts, but trust me, I can groom my son into becoming a ferocious and fearless chieftain. All will know his name, and the Jorgenson honor will be restored..." Spitelout drew out a sword and snarled out. "...with the death of Stoick the Vast." The coup members grunted in agreement, Spitelout then gestured Snotlout, Magnus, and Stefnir over. "You two are to keep an eye out while my son delivers the killing blow. Understood?" Stefnir and Magnus nodded.

"Yes sir."

"Sir."

Spitelout then placed his sword in Snotlout's hands and grasped his sons shoulders. "You my son, will be the tool to purge the Haddock bloodline. Once you've killed Stoick, Hiccup will no doubt be there demanding answers, you will call the Berk Guards and they will arrest him. Go swiftly my son." Snotlout grinned evilly and nodded. "I will honor the Jorgenson name this night father."

The Jorgenson's were getting very uncomfortable in their own skin, they saw the looks of hatred, fury and disgust pointed at them. This was a nightmare, and unfortunately, it wasn't over yet.

The smoke then shifted to Snotlout in Stoick's room, the young Jorgenson began whispering poison.

"My dear uncle, its such a shame that Hiccup killed you! And all because of his greed and his own selfish ambitions. The crime for murder or attempting to murder the chief is punishable by death, but we'll ship your runt to Outcast Island, Alvin and his hordes will no doubt kill him for me."

Snotlout then plunged the sword into Stoick's chest and the smoke vanished.

All eyes turned to the traitorous Jorgensons, Hiccup removed himself from his girlfriends loving embrace and moved toward the center of the Hall. "Now you know the truth! My uncle had everything a man could ever want: love, respect and family! My father told me that his father chose him because he believed Spitelout wasn't ready to lead, he was protecting my Uncle Spitelout from plunging Berk into ruin. But now the Jorgensons must die. Their treachery could not pass any longer without repercussion!" Hiccup snarled out, Snotlout got up and looked at the door, Spitelout and Hertha too, Hiccup seeing the fear and terror on their faces, he turned to his personal guards.

"Take them."

Hiccup's guards charged toward the traitorous Vikings, Snotlout drew out a sword and swatted away the guards first attack, he chopped the guards leg off and threw his shield at a guard going for Hertha. Spitelout drew out his axe and threw it at the first guard coming at him; the axe embedded itself into the guards face and the elder Jorgenson rolled out of the way as the second guard nearly chopped him in half, Spitelout pulled his axe out of the guards face and then chopped the other guards head off, the Jorgensons left the Hall in a rush, Hiccup then heard Snotlout's voice.

"YOU JUST DECLARED WAR USELESS!! GOOD LUCK FACING ME!! THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!"

Hiccup scoffed as he watched his cowardly family members flee. "You're right, I did declare war. But I'm going to win it. And those sided with you will obey me or die as traitors." Hiccup turned around and saw every Viking and chieftain in the room kneel before him. "We stand by your side Chieftain Haddock. We will avenge your fathers death." Hiccup saw Astrid approached him and kissed his cheek and interlock their fingers once again.

"I'm with you babe."

Hiccup smiled warmly at her nodded.

"I know. And I thank you."

Hiccup then saw Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Nyalong stand by him too, as did their families, and the other Hooligans who're loyal to the Haddock bloodline. Alvin, Dagur, and those of the Lava Louts, Hysterics and Murderous tribes approached. "Orders sir?" Hiccup smiled and answered.

"Prepare every warship and dreadnaught that floats and prepare our dragon riders, and Ash, at dawn tomorrow, we show Snotlout what he's up against." They nodded and made their way back to the docks, Hiccup and Astrid hugged each other tightly.

"Thank you, for exposing them for who they really are." Astrid whispered in his ear, Hiccup pulled her closer and kissed temple and whispered back. "Snotlout beat you, he even raped you. I promise you Milady, I'm going to make that animal wish he was never born." Hiccup felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Horik and Frida Hofferson. "And we will stand by your side lad. As you said, those who support Snotlout in the end will join us or die a traitors end." Hiccup smiled and his fellow Hooligans and looked out toward the docks to see Snotlout's ship flee.

"Run dearest cousin. Run. I'm coming for you."
