In Dragons: Riders of Berk season 1 episode 6, titled "Alvin and the Outcasts," the Dragon Riders find themselves facing a new group of dragon trainers, known as the Outcasts. The episode begins with Hiccup and Toothless out on a routine flight, only to stumble upon a group of Vikings who are attempting to capture a dragon. Hiccup intervenes, only to discover that the Vikings are not from Berk, but rather from a nearby group known as the Outcasts.
The Outcasts, led by a rogue named Alvin, are a group of Viking warriors who were banished from their home island and now live on a remote island known as Outcast Island. Alvin and his followers have been training dragons to use as weapons for their revenge against Berk, and they are now planning to launch an attack on the village.
Hiccup and the Dragon Riders know that they must stop Alvin and the Outcasts before they can launch their attack. They begin to devise a plan to infiltrate Outcast Island and gather intelligence on Alvin's plans. Meanwhile, Alvin sends one of his warriors, a fierce young woman named Savage, to spy on the Dragon Riders. Savage is skeptical of Alvin's plans and begins to develop a friendship with the Dragon Riders, putting her loyalty to Alvin in question.
As the Dragon Riders prepare for their mission, they must also confront the reality of what it means to fight against other dragon trainers. For Hiccup and his friends, dragons are not just weapons to be used in battle, but intelligent creatures with their own thoughts and feelings. They are determined to find a way to stop Alvin without harming any of the dragons under his control.
The episode features plenty of action and adventure, as the Dragon Riders attempt to infiltrate Outcast Island and gather intelligence on Alvin's plans. There are also some emotional moments, as the Dragon Riders grapple with the ethics of using force against other dragon trainers and as Savage struggles with her loyalty to Alvin.
