the middle of that, RuOnut and TuOnut have had a
falling out, leaving Barf and Belch running around

Synopsis

“
I used to think four heads was a little crazy, and
I wasn't wrong. But I'll take crazy over Berserk
any day of the week!

Dragon story. Click here to read how.

The Riders are performing a training exercise of

trusting their dragons' vision, the Twins are having
a hard time to see anything through the clouds,
Hiccup informs them they must trust their dragon
to see for them. The Twins did not pay attention
and instead trusted themselves to navigate,
TuOnut and RuOnut both gave separate
commands to Barf and Belch resulting in them to
Sy violently as one head does a command besides
the other. The Twins and Barf and Belch collide
with Fishlegs and Meatlug, and the Twins and
Fishlegs fall and land on a tree. The Twins' branch
is about to snap, and the two orders their dragon
separate commands again, causing Barf and
Belch to go astray, unable to help them.

Fishlegs lend them a hand with Meatlug by

signaling her with his hands and successfully
rescues the Twins. Fishlegs over excitement that
his hand signal worked, causes his branch to snap
but is saved by Hiccup. Hiccup asks what Fishlegs
was doing with his hands, he explains that he
came up with a new idea of communication by
doing hand signals just in case the two are
separated. Hiccup sees it as revolutionary and
heads back to the Academy to work on it right
away.

At the Academy, Hiccup and Astrid are doing well

teaching their hand signals, though Snotlout does
his hand signal of the command to Hookfang to
annihilate the given target, Hookfang annihilates
Snotlout instead. The Twins try theirs but end up
doing separate hand signals to Barf and Belch
causing their dragon unable to perform their
orders properly. Hiccup tells them to do only one
hand signal at a time, but the Twins didn't take it
seriously, and they ordered their dragon to attack
their Riders. Tensions arise from the Twins as they
start to feel that they do not want to work with
each other with their dragon, who they both
blindly still sees that Barf and Belch are two
dragons. And then they reach a boiling point,
when they decide to leave dragon training and
leave their dragon alone. Hiccup, though, is
con-dent that they'll hopefully work things out
eventually.

Later, Hiccup notices that Stoick is wearing his

very tight ceremonial belt. Stoick informs Hiccup
that tomorrow is the annual signing of the Treaty
from the Berserker Tribe, where their Chieftain,
Oswald the Agreeable will be usually arriving at
Berk to sign the Treaty that kept a non-aggression
pact with the tribes of Berk and the Berserkers for
the past 50 years. And he'll also be bringing his
son, Dagur, who Hiccup sees as a lunatic, that he
once used Hiccup as a knife-throwing target, and
expects that he'll be keeping an eye on Dagur from
breaking things again this year. However, Stoick
assigns him to do an important job, he orders
Hiccup to hide every dragon from Berk away from
Oswald and the rest of the Berserkers, as despite
they haven't waged war for 50 years, they haven't
heard that Berk has made peace with the dragons
and Stoick thinks that it's safe to hide the dragons
as the Berserkers may see it as a threat or
aggression.

When the Riders are rounding up the dragons,

they notice Barf and Belch, without the Twins,
Sying oO out of control and Sying straight past
them. Snotlout volunteers to control the dragon,
but he needs another Rider, Fishlegs reluctantly
volunteers and he lands on Barf. However,
Fishlegs causes Barf to burst gas out of him and
Fishlegs begins to feel sick, Snotlout, on the other
hand, however, doesn't know how to maneuver
Belch and he accidentally causes Belch to ignite
the gas and explode. Both Snotlout and Fishlegs
are thrown back to Hookfang. Without the Twins,
Barf and Belch Sy freely and Hiccup tries to
control them, however, the Berserkers have
arrived and head back to Stoick to inform him
about the situation.

At the Docks, Stoick and Gobber await Oswald to

step foot on the harbor, Hiccup tries to inform his
dad of their problem but Stoick tells him to tell it
later. When a Berserker oZcial announces and
presents their Chieftain's arrival, Stoick and
Gobber shockingly learn that Oswald's son, Dagur
the Deranged is now the new Chieftain of the
Berserker Tribe.

Stoick asks Dagur his father's whereabouts, but

Dagur claims that his father 'retired' and he is
-ercely dedicated to the Berserkers' former glory
of being a dominant force when it comes to wars.
Dagur then asks Stoick where he is hiding their
dragons, as he has heard rumors that Berk was
amassing an army of trained dragons. Though he
has no authority to inspect and investigate
whatsoever, he gives Stoick a warning that if he
discovers that it was true, the Berserker Armada,
50,000 strong, will engage Berk on Dagur's word.
Stoick just tells him to stand down and they go
back to the Treaty, Dagur recaps the routines of
signing the Treaty as he -rst has to go to a tour on
Berk such as the Armory, have a feast on the
Great Hall, and especially witness the Killing Arena,
where he asks Stoick if they still kill dragons.
Though Stoick tells him that his father never took
the tour necessary, Dagur tells him precisely that
he is not his father. Stoick's temper begins to rise,
but Gobber tells him to rest assured and go on
with the Treaty.

Bad news

Meanwhile, Hiccup grows worried about the

critical situation, it gets worse when Astrid tells
him that Barf and Belch are actually now
wandering in the village. When they see Stoick and
Gobber showing Dagur their food storage, they try
their best to keep Barf and Belch away from their
-eld of vision. Dagur isn't going well with the Tour
and immediately requests that they escort him to
their Armory.

From there, Dagur acts obnoxious when he uses

the weapons by acting as he is killing and
slaughtering dragons without mercy. Stoick's
temper grows but Gobber tells Dagur why not to
proceed with the Treaty. Dagur thinks it's just like
his father's 'cowering' behavior, where he recalls
his father back at home to not let Dagur do
anything violent. Stoick tells him that his father
was a great man and does not want to hear Dagur
disrespecting him, but Dagur sees his father as a
coward, incapable of leading the Berserkers.
Suddenly, Stoick notices Hiccup chasing a wild
Zippleback just outside, Gobber manages to close
the doors before Dagur sees it as well.

Just outside, Hiccup sees that Barf and Belch are

just on top of the Armory, and Hiccup tries to tell
them to go away. However, Dagur is about to go
outside and Hiccup closes his eyes, thinking that
Dagur might see the dragon. However, Dagur
didn't actually notice the Zippleback as he -nally
-nds Hiccup. The two recall their memories from
Dagur's past visits but he goes bored and begins
to leave, but he feels that something is not right
behind him. Hiccup thinks that Dagur noticed Barf
and Belch, but he actually instead noticed Hiccup
having his prosthetic leg and asks what happened,
but calls it oO when Dagur already heard what
happened.

Hiccup asks what he has heard, Dagur informs

him that he has heard rumors that Hiccup himself,
has defeated the mighty Red Death, but Hiccup
claims it as a fraud that how can he defeat such a
beast, then Dagur tells him about the rumors of
'trained dragons', Hiccup assures Dagur that he
doesn't know how to train a dragon, but Dagur is
still suspicious. Hiccup changes the topic by
telling him to proceed with the Feast at the Great
Hall, when they leave, they hear a rumbling sound,
which is Toothless struggling to take Barf and
Belch oO the Armory, but Hiccup tells him he is
just starving. After a close call, Hiccup then runs
behind the Armory to inspect Barf and Belch and
recommends that they need the Twins.

"What are you guys doing here?"

At the Twins' homestead, they -nd TuOnut, and

Hiccup requests him and RuOnut to go out and
get their dragon under control. But TuOnut refuses
as he already decided that he is over with dragon
business and also his relationship with his sister,
Astrid asks what's their problem, TuOnut explains
that his whole life, he never had an object to not
share with his sister and his only wish is to have
something all for himself. TuOnut then decides to
pack his stuO up as he begins to leave his home,
he doesn't tell Hiccup and Astrid where he is
exactly going, he only says that it's his 'dark,
soggy, and alone place' and is well on his way.

At the Feast at the Great Hall, Hiccup informs his

father of the current progress, and Dagur prepares
a toast, though intended for the death in battle,
they instead toast for his father, which he angrily
accepts. Gobber asks Dagur if he can now sign the
Treaty, Dagur accepts but only to bring the
Dragon's blood for an ink to -nally sign the Treaty.

Dagur in the Great Hall

Stoick informs him that he and his father have not

used Dragon's blood for ink for years now, but
Dagur sees it not as a problem unless Stoick has
stopped killing dragons. Stoick con-dently tells
Dagur that they do still kill dragons, and Gobber
explains that due to the fact that they have killed
so many, there has not been a single dragon
appearing for at least 200 miles, except when Barf
and Belch crash inside the Great Hall, exposing
themselves to Dagur. Dagur sees it as a sign as 'a
head for each chief' and commences a dragon
hunt for the Zippleback. Now, Hiccup must -nd
Barf and Belch before the Berserkers do it before
him.

When searching for TuOnut for hours, Astrid

doubts that they'll be able to -nd them on time as
they have no clue where is TuOnut's 'Dark, Soggy,
and Alone place' is, but Snotlout tells them it's not
that far as he actually knows where it is. Hiccup
asks Snotlout why hasn't said anything after Sying
for hours searching for him and Astrid rages anger
if Snotlout doesn't tell them, Snotlout points them
that TuOnut might be at the Lost Cavern where
they used to play when they were just kids. Hiccup
and Fishlegs take the North entrance of the
Cavern while Astrid and Snotlout take the South.

Searching for the twins

Hiccup and Fishlegs -nd TuOnut, who tells them to

quit following him, they then hear RuOnut's voice
on the other end where she tells Astrid and
Snotlout to quit following her also. They then
realize TuOnut and RuOnut both have the same
place to endure their pain and sorrow. Hiccup tries
to talk some sense into them as their dragon is in
trouble and needs them. They'll both go, as long
as one of them do not go also, Hiccup gives them
advice saying, that they have to work together,
they'll give them the things they want for their
own, but what they can't give to them is another
Barf and Belch, and they must realize there's only
one dragon for them. In the end, RuOnut and
TuOnut -nally reconcile and make up with one
another with a spit-shake and friendly headbutt.
Wasting no time, they hurry to -nd Barf and Belch.

At the forest, the Riders spot Barf and Belch but

are little late, as the Berserkers have also tracked
down Barf and Belch, and they have them pinned
down. The Riders halt their ground and can only
watch as they cannot aOord to expose themselves
to the Berserkers. When Dagur attempts to behead
them, Stoick intervenes and tells him that they are
supposed to behead the dragon together in the
Arena, to do the killing properly. Dagur accepts
and lets the Berserkers deliver the dragon to the
Arena, Stoick did his best to stall Dagur but it's
now up to Hiccup come up of a plan to prevent
Barf and Belch from being killed while also not
risking them of being exposed as the Berserker
Armada would wage war against Berk. Snotlout
suggests a head-on attack, though insane as it
sounds, Hiccup thinks Snotlout may be on to
something.

At the Arena, Dagur continues to behead the

dragon taking one head while he lets Stoick take
the other. Stoick cannot bear to witness this from
happening, and he takes his sword and plans to
sneak up on Dagur and incapacitate him before
Dagur kills the dragon, risking a war with Berk and
the Berserkers. However, Hiccup and the Riders
arrive and shout that a pretend 'dragon attack' is
occurring, Stoick and Gobber quickly play along.
The Riders quietly order their dragons to attack the
Berserkers using hand signals to avoid suspicion.

Gobber orders everyone to be evacuated, but

Dagur initially resists and refuses to retreat and
attempts to -nish what he started. The Twins
arrive at the scene and give out their hand signal
to their dragon one at a time, and they
successfully manage to fend oO Dagur. The Twins
are now working out their hand signals together
and order their dragon to come to them. Dagur
regains his strength and throws a spear at Barf
and Belch, but Toothless manages to block it oO.
Dagur expresses his surprise to -nally see the
legendary Night Fury that he now believes they
exist.

Hiccup pretends to defend Dagur's back against

the Night Fury, Hiccup gives Toothless the order to
shoot a plasma blast and Hiccup gets him out of
the way. Overwhelmed, the Berserkers retreat and
Hiccup pleads that Dagur run instead trust
themselves to safety, as he volunteers to fend oO
the Night Fury. Dagur is -nally convinced and
orders a full retreat back home, but Gobber asks
him about the Treaty lacking his signature. Unable
to do it formally due to the dragon skirmish, Dagur
just considers it to be signed by him and they See.
Finally, the Berserkers are gone, the twins
celebrate with another spit-shake, Stoick is
impressed and gives Hiccup another job well done
and claims that they won't be seeing Dagur
anytime soon.

Hours later, while cleaning up the Academy, the

Twins -nally mend their relationship and discard
their old hatred with each other, they now work
together with Barf and Belch as a team. Snotlout
tells the twins he still thinks Dagur is cool, and
they respond by getting Barf and Belch to blast
him away. The twins exchange headbutts and Barf
and Belch imitates them in the act of aOection.
Hiccup gives oO the closing narration and the
episode ends.
