The view on the wall starts over a dark ocean and turns onto a island, with the village of Berk not in sight. Hiccup's voice appears over the speakers.
Many Vikings jumped while the Dragons listened closely to the voice. Maybe this was the Dragon Rider?
"This, is Berk. It's twelve days north of hopeless, and a few degrees south of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the meridian of misery"
"Useless is so cheerful" whispered Snotlout to the other teens. Astrid punched him in the face.
The view glides over hills to reveal the village.
"My village, in a word, sturdy. And it's been here for seven generations but every building is new." The view is circled around the village.
"We have fishing, hunting and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problem are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquito's. We have ..."
A sheep is shown, peacefully eating on a hill and one is snatched right into the air.
The view quickly changes to the Chiefs house. A door is opened and a Dragon appears in the shot. It fires it flames and the door is slammed shut. The fire illuminates the wood to show Hiccup.
"...Dragons" he finishes.
The Dragons start to look for the boy that is on the screen and see him, being hugged close to a man with one arm and leg, could this be him?
Hiccup reopens the still sizzling door and leaps of the porch and glides through the crowd as mayhem erupts as Vikings start to fight. Loads more Dragons arrive, causing chaos and taking more sheep.
"Most people would just leave. Not us. We're Vikings, we have stubbornness issues." The Dragons nod, getting confused looks from the Vikings.
Hiccup is shown skimming through the large Vikings, his slim figure coming into use.
"My name's Hiccup. Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. Like our charming Viking demeanour wouldn't do that."
"Do you not like your name?" Stoick asked. Hiccup shrugged.
Dragons are dodging axes and Vikings alike. One Viking is tossed and knocks Hiccup to the ground.
"Arggggggghhhhhhh" he screams, sounding insane, "morning" and he runs off. The Viking in question waved cheerfully to those that looked at him. He could tell that he was going to be so drunk.
Hiccup passes multiples other Vikings who each have something to say to him as he passes:
"What are you doing out?"
"Partying" replied Hiccup.
"Get inside?"
"Can't my house is on fire" said Hiccup.
"Get back inside!"
Hiccup passes a man with his finger in his ear.
Hiccup nearly runs in front of Dragon fire but is pulled back by a large Viking holding onto his clothes.
"Hiccup? What is he doing out again?" he yells to the crowd and then to the boy: "what are you doing out! Get inside!"
"You do care?" Hiccup asked Stoick, getting alarmed looks from the Dragons.
Hiccup is pushed forward and nearby fire lights up the man's face with his scowling face and red beard. He turns to the sky and looks around.
"That's Stoick the Vast" Hiccup's voice carries throughout the room, "Chief of the Tribe. They say that when he was a baby he popped a Dragon's head clean off it's shoulders. Do I believe it? Yes I do."
Still a little disturbed by Hiccup's question, Stoick let out a small chuckle, his father tended to boast about the littlest thing.
Stoick grabs a nearby wooden cart and throws it to a nearby Dragon, forcing it out of the sky.
An overhead explosion forces another Viking to duck while Stoick stands tall and proud as he flicks a bit of flaming debris off his shoulder.
"What have we got?" Stoick asks his men.
"Gronkles. Nadders, Zippelbacks oh and Hoark saw a Monstrous Nightmare" replied one of his men.
"Any Night Furies?"
"None so far."
"Good" nods Stoick.
A cry is echoed around the village: "Hoist the torches" and massive flaming braziers are raised on poles, lighting up the sky and showing loads of different Dragons of different kinds.
Hiccup returns to the screen, crossing the plaza and into a building a building with a tall chimney. He passes a man with one leg and one arm working away on a blade.
Gobber cheers when he see himself and many Vikings lean forward as they have never seen Hiccup with the only one to really accept him alone.
"Ah, nice of you to join the party. I thought you'd been carried off" he says to Hiccup as he ties his leather apron on and tidies up a bit.
"Who me," he replied, "nah, come on! I'm way to muscular for their taste. They wouldn't know what to do with all this?" and he pulls a pose.
Unknown to the Vikings, the Dragons are looking Hiccup over, seeing if he is like what Dragon Rider's are legend to look like. Surprisingly he is. But for what Dragon?
"They need toothpicks, don't they?" and Hiccup starts to work, bring in weapons and handing out new ones to waiting Vikings.
"The meathead with attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice ever since I was little. Well ... littler" Hiccup's voice says over the action.
"Meathead?" asked Gobber, looking down at Hiccup.
"Yeah?" asked Hiccup.
"Why meathead?"
"You know why" replied Hiccup.
The view is changed back to the village and onto Stoick.
"We move to the lower defences. We'll counter attack with the catapults" he says. Men run past, protecting those who were carrying sheep, Stoick follows them, while a Dragon flies overhead - setting a building on fire.
"See? Old village. Lots and lots of new house" came Hiccup's voice. Gobber snorts at this and hugs Hiccup a bit more.
"You are good for a laugh" he smirks.
"Gobber, can you let of me, please" said Hiccup, choking a little and he breathes in relief when Gobber lets go of him completely.
A Viking screamed "Fire" alerting a group of teenagers to their duty as fire brigade. Hiccup is watching them.
"Oh and that Fishlegs, Snotlout, the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut and ... Astrid" and the teens turn a a slow motion fireball erupts the house behind them, framing them in fire, looking the opposite of Hiccup as he leans out the window.
"Their job is so much cooler." Hiccup attempts to join them but is caught by Gobber, again by his clothes, and is carried back inside.
"What is it with people carrying me by my clothes?" asked Hiccup. Gobber just looked at him.
"Ah, come on. Let me out, please. I need to make my mark" Hiccup pleads to Gobber.
"Oh, you've made plenty of mark. All in the wrong places" said Gobber.
Several Vikings flinch, memories coming to their mind.
"Please, two minutes. I'll kill a Dragon. My life will get infinitely better. I might even get a date"
The teenagers snorted, why would someone date the loser.
"You can't lift a hammer, you can't swing an axe" lists Gobber and he picks up a bola, "you can't even throw one of these" and a Viking grabs a bola and throws it to a Gronkle, binding it's legs and causing it to crash to the ground.
"Okay, fine, but ..." and he quickly runs to the back corner of the stall and presents one of his inventions, "this will throw it for me" and he pats, accidental setting it off and knocking out a Viking that appeared at the window.
"Sorry!" Hiccup called to the future version, he didn't even blink when he wasn't answered back. He was used to it.
"See, now this right here is what I'm talking about" said Gobber as Hiccup says "Mild calibration issue."
"Hiccup, if you ever want to get out there to fight Dragons, you need to stop all" and he gestures to all Hiccup, "this."
"But ... you just pointed to all of me" said Hiccup in a voice that says 'I can't believe this'.
"Yes!" cried Gobber as if he had just made a great discovery, "That's it! Stop being all of you!"
"Ohhhh" said Hiccup, trying to be threatening.
"Ohhhh" mimicked Gobber, "ohhhh, yes."
Gobber snorted, he knew that he wasn't going to change anytime soon.
"You sir, are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much, raw ... Vikingness contained. There will be consequences!" said Hiccup, pointing upward until Gobber tosses him a sword, which he catches.
"Wow, I actually caught it" smiled Hiccup.
"I'll take my chances. Sword. Sharpen. Now" ordered Gobber and Hiccup takes it over to the grinding and sharpens it, clearing not happy.
"One day," thinks Hiccup, "I'll get out there. Because Killing a Dragon is everything around here. " ad the view shifts to Nadders gathering around a house.
"A Nadder head is sure to get me at least noticed." and the Nadders climb the building and begin tearing the roof off and walls apart. Sheep run out and scatter.
Elsewhere, Gronkles are lifting up racks of fish and flying off.
"Gronckles are tough. Taking down one of those would definitely get me a girlfriend."
It changes to two headed dragons slithering over a rooftop, breathing gas into the chimney while also lighting it at the front door.
"A Zippelback? Exotic, exciting. Two heads, twice the status."
The Zippelback flies away and past Stoick ontop of a tower, a cry of "They found the sheep!" ran through the air.
"Concentrate fire over the lower bank!" orders Stoick and is answered with a "Fire" and boulders are catapulted to Nadders as a red Dragon whips past, attacking with fire.
"And then there's the Monstrous Nightmare. Only the best Vikings go after those. They have this nasty habit of setting themselves on fire."
The Nightmare emerges from the flames, half of it actually being the flames and smirks at Stoick who yells: "Reload, I'll take care of this," and he takes on the Night,are with a hammer until a screech is heard by Viking and Dragon alike, and the crew on the tower ducks. Down below, Hiccup looks up, reacting the screech.
"But the ultimate prize if the Dragon no one has ever seen before. We call it the ..."
"Night Fury" a Viking yells, "get down!"
Vikings everywhere take some form of shelter as the screech gets louser. The Nightmare runs and Stoick looks up and then jumps just as blue flames hit the tower, everyone on the tower leaping.
"This thing never steals food, never shows itself, and..." the sound is gone as the tower goes up in flames before collapsing, "never misses."
"No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm going to be the first." Hiccup stands back from the window and nods. He returns to Gobber, to see him trading his hammer hand for his axe hand.
"Man the forst Hiccup, they need me out there!" He begins to leave before turning back glaring at Hiccup, "Stay. Put. There. You know what I mean," and then he runs out with a war cry. Hiccup smirks.
Suddenly Hiccup is charging through the Vikings with his invention, weaving through the chaos as fast as he can.
"Hiccup, where you are going?"
"Come back here!"
"I know, be right back!" Hiccup called back.
The view changes to Nadders cornering a house full of sheep, they close in and ready to attack before getting covered by a fish net thrown by Stoick and he and his men rush in, a Nadder escapes but Stoick forces it's mouth shut before it can release it's flame.
"Mind yourselves," he warns, "the devils still have juice in them."
It changes back to Hiccup dropping handles and quickly assembling his invention. He adds a bola to it and begins to look around the sky for a Fury, which he can hear approach and he aims at where he can see the sound roughly come from.
"Come on. Give me something to shoot at, give me something to shoot at" Hiccup muttered to himself. The Night Fury aims and a tower topples, but Hiccup ignores as he's see the silhouette of the Night Fury and he aimed quickly and pulled the trigger, the force forced Hiccup back and he quickly gets up to see the Nigh Fury as it is hit, screams and falls out of sight.
Everyone freeze. The Vikings look at Hiccup, shock written on all their faces. The Dragons look at the Night Fury, and all of them have a clue to who the Dragon is.
Hiccup is shocked at first and then it sinks in : "Oh I hit it! Yes, I hit it! Did anybody see that?"
He turns in victory and see a Nightmare behind him.
"Except for you" he points at the Dragon.
He even talks to Dragon, he's skinny, he's intelligent. All they need is something common between the Dragon and Viking so that they know for sure.
Stoick is holding down a net full of Nadders when he hears a scream and turns to see Hiccup running away from the Nightmare. Stoick quickly leaves the Nadders and runs to the rescue, telling his men to "Do not let them escape!"
As Hiccup passes, Vikings quickly run and Hiccup hides behind a pole, hiding. He looks around the pole but the Nightmare is coming in from the other side. Hiccup quickly turns to run, after not seeing the Nightmare and comes face to face with it. The Nightmare prepares for the kill but his kicked away by Stoick. They fight and the Nightmare tries to set Stoick alight but only smoke comes up.
"You're all out" smirks Stoick and he smashes it in the face until it flies away. Stoick turns to Hiccup and Hiccup's voice sound out saying: "Oh, and there's one more thing you need to know..."
The pole collapses, bouncing down the hill and causing the Vikings holding the net of Nadders to bolt for their life. Hiccup watches.
"Sorry, Dad."
The Nadder fly overhead with the sheep in their clutches, the raid is complete and it is clear who has won. The crowd eye a fuming Stoick. waiting to see what he does.
"Okay, but I hit a Night Fury" Hiccup says but he is grabbed by Stoick and drags him, embarrassed.
"It's not like the last few times, Dad. I mean I really actually hit it. You guys were busy and I had a very clear shot. It went down, just off Raven Point. Let's get a search party out there, before it..." begins Hiccup
"Stop! Just...stop" Stoick yells, releasing Hiccup, causing the muttering crowd to become silent and stare at the pair.
"Every time you step outside, disaster follows. Can you not see that I have bigger problems? Winter's almost here and I have an entire village to feed!"
Hiccup looks around to see that all eyes are upon him.
"Between you and me, the village could do with a little less feeding, don't ya think?" asked Hiccup, causing a few Vikings to touch their stomachs, self consciously."
This isn't a joke, Hiccup! Why can't you follow the simplest orders?" yelled Stoick.
"I can't stop myself. I see a dragon and I have to just... kill it, you know? It's who I am, Dad" replied Hiccup.
"You are many things, Hiccup. But a dragon killer is not one of them."
Hurt, Hiccup looks around to see many nods of agreement.
"Get back to the house" Stoick said to Hiccup and then to Gobber, "make sure he gets there. I have his mess to clean up."
Stoick leaves in the opposite direction while Gobber takes Hiccup home. They pass the teens, who snicker and laugh at Hiccup.
"Quite the performance" said Tuffnut.
"I've never seen anyone mess up that badly. That helped" laughed Snotlout.
"Thank you. Thank you. I was trying so ..." Hiccup left it hanging as he passed them.
"Hiccup, I can't believe that you hit a Night Fury" whispered Stoick. Hiccup is still staring at the screen.
"Hiccup" said Gobber, trying to get Hiccup to look at him. He does.
"What is it?"
"Dad, when you said that I am not a Dragon Killer" said Hiccup.
"Well, I obviously don't know that you are telling the truth or we'll be looking for the Night Fury" said Stoick.
"I think you were telling the truth" said Hiccup and he looked up at his dad.
"Is it weird that I feel guilty for hitting the Night Fury?"
