Chapter 1: How to Start a Dragon Academy
'This is Berk. For generations, it was Viking against Dragon. The battles were ferocious. Then one day, everything changed. I met Toothless, and together, we've shown people here that instead of fight dragons, we can ride them, live with them, even train them.'
Hicca and Toothless soar through the skies at high speed before landing on a sea-stack with her dragons, Bones and Serpentina, on her right, and to her left were her friends, Asher, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut, and their dragons, Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug, Barf and Belch.
"Okay guys, best trick competition. Who's up first?" Hicca asks.
"Uh-" Fishlegs begins before Snotlout interrupts her.
"Me." Snotlout says flexing her arms.
"Actually, I think it's-" Fishlegs tries to say but Snotlout interrupts again.
"Me." Snotlout says again.
"Sweet baby Thor in a thunderstorm, go!" Asher yells in annoyance.
"Oh, don't worry, we'll go. And when we go, Hookfang and I are going to light the sky on fire!" Snotlout shouts as Hookfang dove off the cliff side without warning.
Snotlout screamed and wailed at the top of her lungs as Hookfang dove and soared, weaving through rock formations in the water. Snotlout could see the sparks flying as her horns scratched along the rock wall and let out a terrified shriek while Hookfang merely purred to himself in joy at his rider's fear. Hookfang soared high into the air before quickly diving down into the water, Snotlout screaming all the way. When he resurfaced, Hookfang shot up and landed back in his spot on the cliff side with a loud thud! Snotlout gasped, inhaling deeply and quickly while feeling her chest.
"I'm alive? I'm alive!" Snotlout shouts, throwing her arms into the air as she looked at the others around her. "Of course I am." She says in a boasting tone at seeing their looks of shock and disbelief.
"It's my turn!" Fishlegs exclaims. "Ready, Meatlug?" She asks receiving an affirmative growl from her female Gronckle. "Here we go!" She says as Meatlug's tiny wings began flapping, hoisting her and her rider into the air.
They quickly made a left around Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Barf and Belch, circling around the dragon before landing back in their spot; the others' eyes following them the entire, very short flight.
"Yes! New personal best." Fishlegs exclaims leaning down to Meatlug's face as she affectionately licked her.
"My turn!" Ruffnut says.
"No, my turn!" Tuffnut argues.
"Guys, same dragon." Hicca says.
"Oh, right." Tuffnut says as he and Ruffnut bump fists before Barf and Belch take off. "Go left." He says as he pulls Belch's head to the left.
"No, right!" Ruffnut argues as she pulled Barf's head to the right.
"No, no, no, right!" Tuffnut says pulling Belch's head to the right.
"No, left!" Ruffnut argues pulling Barf's head to the left causing the Zippleback's heads to get all tangled up and bump their heads into each other, spiraling out of control as the twins hung onto Bark and Belch's horns.
The Zippleback exchanged mischievous looks and flung their riders up into the air.
"Oh, no! Whoa! This is awesome and scary!" Tuffnut cries as he fell through the sky towards the ocean.
Barf and Belch grabbed the twins by the necks of their jackets and tossed them back onto their necks before landing back on the cliff side with the other dragons.
"We almost died!" Ruffnut sighed, lying limp on Barf's neck with her eyes wide.
"I know… Go again?" Tuffnut asks as he and Ruffnut quickly sat up straight.
"Hey, it's my turn." Asher says pulling towards himself before he looked at Hicca. "You might want to take notes. Let's go." He says to Stormfly.
Stormfly took off with great speed and dove towards the water level.
"Okay, Stormfly. Tail flip!" Asher shouts as Stormfly stuck her tail into the water, splashing the water upwards as she flew. "Now twirl!" He says and Stormfly tucked her wings in and twirled. "Quick, upward spiral!" He shouts as Stormfly dove up into the air, with her wings spread wide as she spun. "All right, Stormfly!" He cheers as Stormfly came to land back in her spot as the other Vikings marveled at her performance.
"Yeah, but can you do it without the dragon?" Snotlout asks which earned her a swift punch in the arm from Asher. "Ow!" She says as Asher gestures for Hicca to take her turn.
"Well, looks like we've got our work cut out for us, there, guys." Hicca says to her dragons.
"Not really. It's our win." Toothless says.
"Yeah, it's in the bag." Bones says.
"Definitely." Serpentina says agreeing with her brothers.
"Alright, Bones, Serpentina, you two know what to do." Hicca says as her Boneknapper and Grapple Grounder nodded and take off flying. "Ready, Toothless." She asks receiving a nod from the Night Fury.
Toothless shot into the air and dove straight down towards the water along the rock pillar. Hicca pulled up on her saddle just in time to cause the water to spurt up. They bobbed and weaved through the pillar at great speed with perfect skill before coming to two pillars joined by a thin rock bridge where Serpentina and Bones were waiting. Toothless dove under as Hicca jumped up and grinded along Serpentina's back before taking a powerful leap towards Bones' tail, grabbing onto one of the bones before swinging forward and doing several midair back flips as she land back onto Toothless' saddle just as he came through under the thin rock bridge. Bones and Serpentina then did circle twirls around Hicca and Toothless releasing fire causing a stream to twirl behind them as Toothless twirled in place and shot out three plasma bolts, sending light purple shockwaves across the sky.
"They're still the best." Asher says as the others watch in amazement.
"Another win." Hicca says with a smile as Toothless, Bones, and Serpentina groan in approval. "Good job, all of you. Extra fish for dinner tonight." She says as her dragons purred happily hearing what their reward was.
'Yep, dragons. Most people on Berk would say life here is better since we made peace with them. Unfortunately, dragons are still, well, dragons.
They arrived back in town and Hicca, Toothless, and Serpentina slowly strolled up the busy street while Bones heading back to his stable.
"Oh, ah, dragon! Let go of my food! Drop it, pesky dragon!" A woman screams at a Terrible Terror for stealing her meat just as another fly by and took the bone right out of her hands. "Dragons!" She huffs stomping her boot.
"Get off my roof, you pest!" Another Viking yells at a Nadder to get off his roof.
"Let go of that! Those are my apples!" Another Viking says as a Nightmare was playing tug-of-war over a casket of apples and a Nadder chased a flock of chickens straight through a woman's hung up laundry.
"Give me back my dainties, dragon!" The woman yells.
"Incoming! Look out! Dragon poop!" Another Viking yells as everyone ran for cover as Hicca looked up into the sky as a number of dragons soared over and green, stinky pellets rained down from the sky. "Eew, gross, gross, gross! Oh, poop! Oh, that's so disgusting." Hicca says as she backed up to Bucket and Mulch with two hand-made umbrellas shielding them from the poop. "Hey Bucket, hey Mulch. Sorry about the, uh…" She says, pointing her finger up.
"Every day at 3:00." Bucket replies. "They're regular. A tip of the cap." He says tapping the bucket on his head.
"Better than the days where it was kill or be killed." Mulch adds. "Hey, we got some fish for that father of yours. Bucket, give the girl the cod." He says.
Bucket held up a torn sack, completely void of fish.
"I ate it already? Did I enjoy it?" Bucket asks.
"Uh, no, uh, actually, Bucket I'm-I'm afraid the, uh…" Hicca pointed at a small Terror dragging the fish away by the tail.
The Terror hissed at them before pulling the fish under a house as two more Terrors flew in after it.
'Most of us here on Berk are will to take the good with the bad. But there are those who will never accept the dragons, and will do anything to drive them away.'
Later that night on the other side of the island near the top of a mountain, an old grumpy Viking named Mildew was currently sleeping until he hear his house rattle and shake and an axe hanging from the ceiling falls and nearly take his sheep, Fungus' head off. Mildew grumbles as he goes outside to find a sleeping Gronckle on his roof.
"Dragons. I should've known." Mildew says and looks down to see some of his cabbage has been eating. "Helps himself to my roof and my cabbage." He says but then turns around to see more Gronckles eating the rest of his cabbage field. "My whole field! Gone!" He growls as the Gronckles take off. "That tears it, Fungus." He says and grabs his helmet and walking staff from inside his house and picks up Fungus and makes his way to the village.
The next morning, Stoick is organizing the food storage with Gobber and Hicca was sitting on a barrel with her right leg crossed over her left with her dragons to her left.
"Stand the elk up in the back. Fishing boats just came in with a big catch." Stoick says to the workers.
"Stoick." Mildew shouts walking over to him.
"Ah, here's Mildew with the complaint of the day." Gobber says to Stoick.
"You've picked a bad time, Mildew. I'm in the middle of storing food. The freeze is coming." Stoick says and turns away.
"It's the dragons again. Those demons are not fit to live among civilized men." Mildew says.
"Neither are you, Mildew. Why do you think we built your house so far out of town?" Gobber asks as Hicca giggles.
"Oh, very well, make your jokes. Meanwhile, these dragons are upending our village carts, turning people's houses into piles of rubble! They even disturbing an old, man's rest! It's utter chaos! Can't you see these bags under my eyes?" Mildew asks pulling back the skin around his eyes at Gobber and Stoick.
"He's right. He's hideous." Gobber says.
"These are wild and unpredictable beasts." Mildew shouts, as Vikings gathered around them, shouting in agreement. "They even cracked his man's skull like an egg." He adds, tapping Bucket's bucket with his staff.
"Eggs? I like eggs! Scrambled, over easy, poached!" Bucket exclaims in joy.
"You need to put those dragons in cages." Mildew demands and Hicca frowns when she heard the old man say this and affectionately rubbed Toothless' head and scratch Serpentina's chin while Bones nudges her back gently as not to push her off the barrel. "If you don't, they'll eat us out of house and home and destroy the entire village." He says.
"They don't mean any harm! They're just dragons being dragons, like how we're just Vikings being Vikings. We're just as dangerous and chaotic as they are. Beside I know what their feeling and they just want to play." Hicca interjects, but Stoick pushed her behind him as he stepped forward.
"Look, Mildew, if there is a problem, I'll deal with it." Stoick utters in a serious tone.
"Oh, there is a problem, Stoick. And I think I speak for everyone when I say that you better do something about it." Mildew says as he left, leaving Stoick to bear the brunt of several angry Vikings.
Later that evening, Stoick spoke with Gobber while Hicca and Toothless secretly listened in.
"We can't just let the dragons run around like they own the place. Hey, we could put up signs!" Stoick says pacing around.
"Signs? For dragons?" Gobber asks as he whittled a duck out of wood.
"No, for the people." Stoick corrects.
"Signs? For Vikings? We're not big readers, Stoick." Gobber says.
"Then we'll build a huge net and stretch it around the plaza!" Stoick says throwing ideas around not think clearly.
"Nets? You do know they breathe fire, right?" Gobber asks.
"I know very well they breathe fire, Gobber. Maybe Mildew was right. We have to figure-" Stoick says angrily knocked over a chair as Hicca enters the room.
"No, Daddy, wait. What if I deal with the dragon?" Hicca asks, picking up the chair.
"You?" Stoick and Gobber ask in unison.
"Who else? If anyone can control them, I can. You know that. I can feel their presence near me, read their emotion, hear their voices when I touch them with my right hand, and communicate with them in my mind. I'm the best person for the job." Hicca says showing her scar, as Toothless affectionately rubbed himself against her legs and snuggled her hands.
"Hicca, you're still just a little girl." Stoick says.
"I'm not a little girl anymore, daddy! This isn't like before where you had to protect me from everything! I know I can do this; you just have to give me the chance to show you. Please." Hicca says, puffing up and quivering her lips as she looked to her father with big eyes.
"Oh no, don't give me that face!" Stoick says sharply, crossing his arms and avoiding eye contact.
"Oh no, Stoick. She's giving you the face. You know you can't win! Give surrender while you still have a chance!" Gobber cries chuckling at bit at the scene.
Stoick looked back, making eye contact with Hicca for just a second before sighing in defeat.
"All right, you get your chance starting tomorrow." Stoick says.
The next day Hicca strolled proudly in town.
"Okay, gang. There's gonna be some changes around here." Hicca says.
"Get out! Shoo! For the last time, get your nose out of my bread! Oh!" A woman Viking says and walks into her home away from a purple Nadder.
"Hold on, I'll help you. Just…No." Hicca says and places her right hand on the Nadder's snout. "All right. Now stop trying to steal food." She says.
"But I'm hungry." The Nadder says in a female voice.
"Then-" Hicca begins when chickens suddenly fly by hers and the Nadder's head causing the female Nadder to loss focus in Hicca and chases after the chicken with a Gronckle following her. "Bones try and stop them." She says.
"You got it, Hicca." Bones says and chases the two dragons.
Hicca then looks up and sees a Monstrous Nightmare and another purple Deadly Nadder fighting with each other and unfortunately some sheep got caught in the cross fire, literally, as a small sheep has a small fire on its wool. Hicca races towards the sheep to help it.
"Toothless, stop that fight. Serpentina and I will put out the sheep." Hicca says.
"Right." Toothless says and jumps up to the fighting dragons.
Hicca and Serpentina race towards the town square to find it in an even bigger mess then yesterday. Meanwhile the other teens were on a watch tower watching Hicca.
"What's she doing?" Snotlout asks.
"Uh, I think she's helping the dragons break stuff. Cool." Tuffnut says but is then punched in the arm by Ruffnut.
"No she told me this morning she was going to try and control the dragons." Ruffnut says.
Hicca chases after the flaming sheep carrying a bucket of water but then sheep jumps into her knocking her back down the hill watching the sheep run away.
"Wow. She could really use our help." Asher says watching his crush struggle.
"We'll get to it." Snotlout says.
"In a minute." Tuffnut says.
Serpentina gives Hicca another bucket of water and splash the corner sheep putting the fire out in the process.
"Sorry about that." Hicca says to the sheep.
Just then a number of dragons started to soar over the square.
"And it's 3:00." Asher says looking down at Hicca.
Just as a green pellet was about to land on Hicca, Serpentina acts fast and grabs her rider and heads out of the square slithering through the falling poop.
Later that night Hicca was in her room with Toothless and Serpentina with Bones looking in through her now enlarged window.
"Oh, everything hurts. Even this." Hicca says taking off her prosthetic leg.
"Hicca?" Asher's voice calls out from inside her house.
"Asher? Perfect." Hicca says quickly putting her prosthetic leg back on and dusting herself off. "I don't look too beat up, do I?" She asks.
"You look…okay?" Bones says.
"He'll laugh." Toothless grumbles.
"Oh, great. Dragon pity from Bones and dragon jealousy from Toothless." Hicca says as Serpentina smacks her brothers with her tail.
"Ignore them. You look fine, Hicca." Serpentina says.
"Thanks Serpentina." Hicca says as Asher walks up the steps. "Hey, Asher. What a nice surprise." She says nervously.
"So, how was your day?" Asher asks crossing his arms.
"Uh, uneventful. Hung around the plaza. You know." Hicca says.
"Yeah, I do know. We saw you out there. It's hard to believe you're still standing." Asher says dusting the spots Hicca missed on her hood jacket.
"I'm gonna be seeing flaming sheep in my dreams for the next month." Hicca says falling onto her bed.
"Hicca!" Stoick bellows as he comes up the stairs. "Hicca. What's going on out there? The plaza looks like a war zone." He says.
"I know it looks bad." Hicca says.
"Really bad." Asher whispers as Hicca glares at him.
"But this is only, uh, phase one of my master plan." Hicca says to her father.
"Oh. So you do have a plan." Stoick says in surprise.
"I do. Of course I do. It's very complex, lots of drawings, several moving parts. Yeah, it's, uh, pretty wild." Hicca says nervously causing Stoick to sigh.
"Uh-huh." Stoick says knowing his daughter is lying. "Well, this better be real, because Mildew stirred up the whole island. And if you don't get those dragons under control, they'll be calling for their heads." He says as he exits the room while Toothless, Bones, and Serpentina gulp.
"Don't worry guys. Your heads' not going anywhere." Hicca says petting each of her dragons as they purr in delight.
"You do realize there are, like, a bazillion dragons out there, and only one of you. I hope you really do have a plan." Asher says crossing his arms.
The next morning Hicca had gather her dragons, her friends, and their dragons in the old dragon killing arena.
"That's your plan, girlfriend? Train dragons?" Ruffnut asks her best friend.
"Here? Where we use to kill them?" Tuffnut asks as they all look around.
"Right. Because we don't do that anymore. That's why it's available." Hicca says placing a large basket of fish on the ground.
"Actually, the dragons do seem a little nervous." Asher says rubbing Stormfly's snout as her eyes darted back and forth.
"That's because they're very sensitive. Meatlug especially. She lost a cousin here. We try not to talk about it." Fishlegs whispers hugging her dragon.
"It's amazing your dad just gave us the arena." Asher says walking over to Hicca.
"Well, it would be, if he did, yeah. But he didn't, so that's another thing we should try not to talk about." Hicca says.
"Wait, so, we're going behind your father's back." Asher says with wide eyes.
"Asher, if there's one thing I know about my best friend, it's that she always goes behind Stoick's back. Even when we were kids." Ruffnut says putting her right arm around Hicca's shoulder as the two girls smile.
"Wait, what?" Asher asks in shock.
"All right. Everybody, here's the thing. The dragons are out of control. We want them to live in our world without destroying it, but they can't without our help. They've been blowing things up in the village. We've gotta do something about that." Hicca says.
"Got it. Help dragons blow things up. We can totally do that." Tuffnut says and looks to his sister with a grin.
"No, I believe I said-" Hicca begins.
"Here's how we're gonna do it. First, we make them really, really angry." Ruffnut says.
"No problem. We anger everybody." Tuffnut says.
"Guys, this is serious. Mildew wants all of our dragons caged. And I don't know about any of you, but that's not okay with me." Hicca says slightly raising her voice.
"You're right. She's sorry." Tuffnut says but is then punched hard by Ruffnut.
"Okay, then. Next problem. The dragons are eating everything in sight." Hicca says pulling out three loafs of bread making Toothless, Bones, and Serpentina lick their lips. "Now, when a dragon grabs something it's not suppose to have…" She says gesturing for her dragons to take the loaves, which they did. "You can get them to drop it by giving them a little scratch just below the chin." She says and one by one she scratches her dragons as they release the loaves and purr in delight, their eyes rolling to the back of their backs.
"Eh, no, no, no, no. Maybe that works for you and your dragons, but Hookfang and me; we do things a little different." Snotlout says snatching one of the loafs of bread out of Hicca's hands and tossed it to Hookfang, who held it between his teeth. "When I want this big boy to do something, I just get right in his face and-DROP THAT RIGHT NOW! You hear me?" She yells and at first, Hookfang cowered his head in fear, but quickly snapped his jaws at Snotlout, dropping the loaf and taking Snotlout into his large mouth and shaking his head side by side. "See?" She asks from inside Hookfang's mouth in a muffled voice. "He dropped it." She says.
"Should we help her?" Tuffnut asks with a chuckle.
"Yeah, in a minute." Asher says with a smirk.
"All right, we've got a lot of training to do. But together, we can keep these dragons under control." Hicca says reaching into the basket and pulling out more bread.
"Uh, can somebody do that chin-scratchy thing? Hello? You guys still there?" Snotlout asks.
Later that day the teens make their way into town only to discover that there was no dragon in sight.
"Huh. No dragons." Fishlegs says.
"That was easy." Ruffnut says.
"Lunch?" Snotlout asks.
"That's weird. If the dragons aren't here, where are they?" Hicca asks when there was a sudden explosion in the distance as a cloud of black smoke shot up into the air.
"Something tells me that way." Asher says as they rush over to the storage building where all the food was being kept only to discover. "Stormfly?" He asks seeing his Deadly Nadder eating the fish.
"Hookfang?" Snotlout asks spotting her Monstrous Nightmare in the flock too.
Hicca rushes to the building and sees her father lifting one of the support beams and throws it aside.
"They've eaten everything. We've got nothing left for the freeze." Stoick says walking out of the food storage.
"I warned you, Stoick. But did you listen to me? No. You put a bunch of teenagers in charge. Now look what the dragons have done. Caging is too good for those beasts." Mildew says getting in Stoick's face.
"Daddy, I swear I can fix this. We-we were just starting to-" Hicca begins to say before Stoick stops her.
"Enough, Hicca. How can I trust you to control all the dragons, when you couldn't even control your own?" Stoick says gesturing to Toothless, Serpentina, and Bones who had their heads dug into the baskets and gleefully munched on the fish inside.
"Oh, guys…" Hicca says in a disappointed tone.
"Sorry." The three siblings say together feeling bad.
"Bucket, Mulch! Man the boats. We need another catch!" Stoick orders, gathering several baskets in his arms and tossing them to the two Vikings.
"It's too late, Stoick. The freeze is almost here and it took us six months for us to catch all that fish!" Mulch protests.
"Don't tell me it's too late! We've got to try!" Stoick shouts.
"Heh, of course we do. Don't tell the Chief it's too late, you're always so negative!" Mulch says scolding Bucket, whacking his bucket.
"I'm always doing that. I don't know what's with me!" Bucket says.
"Daddy please, you have to listen to me! I know dragons better than anyone here! I can fix this!" Hicca pleads.
"Not now, Hicca. I have a village to feed and the dragons have done enough damage. By tonight, I want every one of them caged. Understand?" Stoick asks.
"You can't just cage these dragons! You need to send them away now!" Mildew cries, as a group of Vikings roared in agreement behind him. "They're too dangerous to be kept around here any further." He says.
"You're right, Mildew. We'll cage them tonight and in the morning, Hicca will send them off the island. I'm sorry, darling." Stoick says with sympathy.
Later that evening, the Viking teens sat at a table eating their dinner, utterly depressed.
"I can't believe we have to send them away!" Snotlout cries in disbelief.
"It's going to be so weird. I got used to Stormfly being the first thing I'd see every morning." Asher said, lazily twirling his spoon in his soup until the broth looked like a Nadder.
"Every night before bed, Meatlug would lick my feet. Who's going to do that now?" Fishlegs wails collapsing onto the table in utter despair as the utter teens looked on with mild disgust and awkwardness.
"I volunteer Tuffnut." Ruffnut says.
"Whatever…what time should I be there?" Tuffnut asks without a care.
"Come on let's just get this over with." Asher says, getting out of his seat.
"This is the worst day of my life! We're never going to see our dragons again!" Fishlegs wept as the rest of the teens followed Asher out of the Great Hall.
Hicca remained in her seat and watched her friends leave.
"I can't just let this happen. Toothless, Bones, and Serpentina are the best friends I've ever had." Hicca says, bending down to pet her dragons. Toothless looked up and growled as Mildew walked over to them.
"Oh Toothless, I'm gonna miss you so much! You know what your mistake was? Thinking dragons could be trained! A dragon's gonna do what a dragon's gonna do. It's their nature and you can't change that." Mildew says as Toothless, Bones, and Serpentina narrowed their eyes and growled at the old man again as he left.
"I really hate that guy." Bones says.
"You and me both, brother." Toothless says.
"Make that the three of us." Serpentina adds.
The doors opened and a chilly gust of wind swept into the Great Hall, blowing out the central fire. Serpentina turns and relit the fire with a pulse blast.
"Oh, thank you Serpentina." A Viking woman says as Hicca's head shot up as she looked at the flame Serpentina relit.
"You know what…Mildew's absolutely right! Come on, Toothless, Bones, Serpentina!" Hicca says and they took off into the night towards the arena.
The teens had gathered the dragons as well as their own at the arena and were saying their goodbyes.
"Goodbye, Hookfang." Snotlout says.
"I'm sorry, Stormfly. Now, go." Asher orders pointing his torch in the arena entrance direction.
"Feels like big, sharp teeth are tearing at this thing in my chest." Snotlout says.
"That's what it feels like when your heart is breaking." Asher says.
"I don't have a heart. I'm not Hicca." Snotlout says making Asher and Ruffnut glare angrily at the girl as they watch the gate start to close.
"Don't close it!" Hicca cries as Toothless lands in front of her friends, jumping off and pushed the giant lever, lifting the large gates before they could close completely. "We are not locking them up!" She says.
"What happened? Did you change your father's mind?" Asher asks in excitement before turning suspicious. "Or are we going behind his back again?" He asks.
"Um…the latter. Look, the dragons are going to do what they do because they're dragons. It's their nature; we just need to learn how to use it." Hicca says.
The next morning Bucket and Mulch were on a boat trying to catch another load of fish but got nothing.
"Ah, the nests are empty again." Mulch says.
"Did I eat them all again already? Did I enjoy it? Oh, am I being too negative?" Bucket asks but neither of them notice Hicca, Toothless, Serpentina, Snotlout, or Hookfang in the air.
"All right, Snotlout, scare us some dinner!" Hicca orders.
"I'm on it!" Snotlout says as Hookfang dove into the water.
"Serpentina, you help out too." Hicca says.
"You got it, Hicca. I've been needing a bath anyway." Serpentina says as she dives into the water as well.
"Dragon attack!" Bucket shouts as the two dragons dive into the water causing a whole bunch of fish to jump into the nests.
"Hey, thanks, dragons." Mulch says.
"That's right! That just happened." Snotlout cheers for herself.
"Come on, follow me." Hicca says to Bones, Asher, Stormfly, Fishlegs, and Meatlug as they flew towards Mildew's farm.
Morning, Mildew!" Asher chirps as Stormfly glided over the ground and drove her tail into the ground as Hicca orders Bones to do the same while she flew by and planted the seeds behind her Boneknapper.
"3:00, time for the fertilizer!" Hicca declares.
"Fertilizer?" Mildew asks in confusion.
Just then, a flock of dragons flew over Mildew's field, unleashing their green, stinky poop on his crop field.
"Come on, smile Mildew! We just saved you three months of work!" Hicca shouted
Meanwhile, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were busy stirring helpful trouble in the woods, chasing the boars out from the wilderness as Toothless herded them towards the barn with his plasma bolts.
"That was awesome!" Fishlegs cheers.
"How did you know that was going to work?" Asher asks Hicca.
"Because they're dragons and dragons will do what they do. We just have to work with them and not against them. We can use their natures to our advantage. You know, it's funny because we should actually be thanking-" Hicca begins to say.
"There they are, Stoick! Those dragons don't look like they're in cages to me." Mildew says, walking up to the teens along with Stoick.
"No, this is not what I asked for." Stoick says.
Later, the teens waited in the center of the arena as the villagers gathered all around them above. The gates opened as Stoick and Gobber entered, Fishlegs shivering and whimpering in fear.
"Oh no, what's Stoick going to do to us?" Fishlegs cries.
"I'm too pretty for jail." Ruffnut says.
"Heh, where'd you hear that?" Tuffnut remarks.
"You all disobeyed my orders and there will be consequences!" Stoick begins to say.
"I told you we were going to get in trouble. You never listen to me!" Asher mutters.
"Just let me deal with this! Daddy, if anyone's going to get in trouble, it should be me." Hicca says to her father.
"Nope, you all had a hand in this." Stoick says to his daughter.
"Oh, this is gonna be great, Fungus. It's about to get ugly." Mildew says from the stands.
"You took over this place without asking. You release the dragons against my wishes. Things are going to change around here. That's why-" Stoick begins to say.
"We're getting a dragon training academy!" Gobber chimes shocking Mildew.
"Gobber! I wanted to tell them!" Stoick retorts as Hicca, Asher and the others suddenly beamed.
"I'm sorry, you're right. Go ahead." Gobber says.
"Well, you told most of it." Stoick says.
"But you can tell them how proud you are of them!" Gobber says.
"Gobber!" Stoick sighed and turned to Hicca. "Hicca, well…what he said. You've all made me so proud, especially you, sweetheart. This dragon training academy is for you." He says as he pulls a lever, opening one of the cages and releasing Toothless, Bones, Serpentina, Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang, and Bark and Belch, who all eagerly reunited with their riders.
"I'll get those dragons yet." Mildew mutters and walks away.
"Now all you have to do is train them." Stoick says to his daughter.
"Not a problem, dad. After all, I've got these three beauties." Hicca says hugging her dragons.
"Ahem!" Asher coughs.
"And them too." Hicca says.
Later that day Snotlout, Hookfang, Fishlegs, and Meatlug were hanging up a sign on the arena entrance.
"Berk Dragon Academy. I like the sound of that." Asher says gently punching Hicca's arms as Ruffnut hugs her best friend and smiles.
'Dragons can't change who they are. But who would want them to? Dragons are powerful, amazing creatures. And as long as it takes me, I am going to learn everything that is to know about them. Wouldn't you?'
