INT. DRAGON MOUNTAIN - TUNNEL - DAWN

(Scene 1400 - A New Family)

CLOSE ON Hiccup, flustered, winded, chasing VALKA through tightly winding corridors.

Most couldn't help but chuckle a little. While some where taken had never seen Hiccup that frustrated before.

HICCUP

Hold on! Wait just a minute! Come back here!

Valka doesn't stop and she moving forward with jumps. She waves Hiccup, wants him to follows her.

Stoick smiles a little. His wife is still acts like she did when she was twenty. But no, she's fitter.

VALKA

This way. Come.

HICCUP

You can't just say something like that and run off! You're my mother?! I mean, what the –

"Language kid!" said Gobber with a smile and lots of Vikings laugh with him, even some of the dragons let out a coo.

D-do you grasp how INSANE it sounds?!

Astrid still sits there in shock. How can be that woman Hiccup's mother? How?

Stoick couldn't help, but raise one of his eyebrows. Hiccup was disbelieving, not angry. But how? He should be yelling, shouting, even have a few tears, but not ..disbelief.

While he speaks, he climbs over fallen rocks. In frustation, he gesticulates with his hands, and sometimes looks back Toothless.

(beat)

I have questions!

"So do I" thought Stoick, with a little bitter smile.

Why Valka didn't come home? She just misses her son, her only son's first twenty years.

VALKA

Come. Quickly!

Hiccup follows her over the difficult terrain. He tries to clamber over a tall rock, unsuccessfully.

HICCUP

Where have you been all this time?

"I want to know that to." said Stoick, but he knows, deep inside of course, he'll have to wait.

Toothless boosts him over.

Toothless let out a dragon laugh. Looks like without him, Hiccup can't climb up on a simple rock.

Hiccup lands on the other side with a somersault, then he continues the chase.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

What've you been doing?! They said you were dead! Everyone thinks you were eaten by...

Hiccup trails off and awed, his eyes wide in surprise as he enters...

What he can see now? Why is he so awed? Where some of everyone's thoughts.

INT. DRAGON MOUNTAIN - OASIS - CONTINUOUS

... a stadium-sized chamber teeming with ferns, waterfalls, hot springs and THOUSANDS of new DRAGONS. Hiccup wanders in, basking in the in the amazing sight: a dome of sweating ice capping a geothermal micro climate, filled with dragons of every shape and kind.

In the cinema, everyone just as awed as Hiccup. This place is… beautiful. No, amazing and beautiful.

Three baby gronckle play on the ground, Hiccup looks at them with a happy smile. Suddenly, a big dragon flys past them, Hiccup ducks a little, then looks around again – he's more awed. Toothless is a little nervous. We then change to another POV, while the dragons circle around that ice column, which is standing in the middle of the oasis. More and more dragons join the flying dragons.

Every dragon perks up, when they see that nest. Such a beautiful place! No, it's a real wonderland! Yes, maybe in that nets they can't be with their riders but that place still looks amazing.

We change back to the boys, Hiccup is still awed, but now Toothless is growling defensively. Hiccup look up, then he flinches a little, when he spots Valka's dragon clinging to a basalt overhang. Valka stands at him and watching him.

Now, Stoick suddenly understands everything. That dragon was the one, who on that terribly night, kidnapped his wife. Before that, cutting his baby's chin.

HICCUP

This is where you've been for twenty years?

She nods from her perch. The boys walking back a little.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

You've been rescuing them.

She nods again, this time with a smile. In the background a new dragon starts sniff Toothless, who trying ignore it.

The viking couldn't help, but chuckle a little. Looks like Toothless is not in his friendly mood today.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Unbelievable.

VALKA

You're not upset?

Astrid couldn't help, but agree. She's known Hiccup since they were babies, and not even she knows how can he so relaxed! She's sure as hell, she'd be so angry, but Hiccup, of course not. Just disbelieving.

HICCUP

What? No. I don't know. It's a bit much to get my head around, to be frank. It's not every day you find out your mother is some kind of crazy, feral, vigilante dragon lady.

Gobber laughed a little. Yeah, this comment was definitely his sarcastic apprentice's comment.

Valka chuckles, and using her dragon's wing, lowers herself to the ground like a skilled acrobat.

VALKA

At least I'm not boring... right?

HICCUP

I suppose there is that...

(feeble, trailing off)

... one... specific... thing...

Excited dragons rush up to greet Hiccup and Toothless. Hiccup pets a few, marveling at the vast dragon utopia before him.

Toothless couldn't help, but become a little nervous. They don't know those dragons and Hiccup just pets them!

VALKA

Do you like it?

While she speaks, she get a little closer to Hiccup. Hiccup looks around, still awed.

HICCUP

I-I don't have the words.

"But I do: It's AWESOME!" yells Tuffnut, and everyone nods in agreement.

Stoick watched the screen with a loving smile. He was sure, he can't see anything like that, when he's still alive: Hiccup and Valka talking to each other.

Toothless SNARLS in annoyance as the curious, smothering dragons SNIFF every part of him.

In the cinema, Toothless does the same thing.

Valka chuckles a little, then she looks at Hiccup, while she ask him. Hiccup nod a little, then, with a little curiosity, he looks at them.

VALKA

C-Can I... ?

She reaches out to stroke Toothless, who PURRS at her touch.

Valka

He's beautiful!

Toothless let out a happy coo, while he proudly pulls out.

He goes around Valka, in a hope he'll get more attention.

VALKA (CONT'D)

Incredible. He might very well be the last of his kind.

Astrid feels, her heart sink a little. This definitely wasn't the news Hiccup wants to hear..

She inspects his talons as Toothless rolls onto his back, nuzzling her.

VALKA (CONT'D)

And look, he's your age! No wonder you get along so well.

Everyone, even Toothless, gasped in surprise. Toothless is twenty years old, just like Hiccup? Unbelievable.

Toothless meanwhile shows his famous toothless grin. He's just as old as his Hiccup! Now, he can feel closer to his human.

Hiccup is awed and smiles, astounded by Toothless' affection for Valka. She checks his teeth. They recede into the gums at her touch.

VALKA (CONT'D)

And retractable teeth? Ah! How did you manage to—

Toothless stretches out his tongue and Valka pets it.

Everyone groans in disgust. Even Stoick grimaced.

In the background Hiccup become a little nervous, while he answers.

HICCUP

-I found him in the woods. He was shot down and wounded.

Everyone sits in silence. This will be interesting.

She winces and offers a sympathetic nod as she stands to caress a few of her own rescued dragons.

VALKA

This Snafflefang lost his leg to one of Drago Bludvist's iron traps. This Raincutter had her wing sliced by razor netting. And this poor Hobblegrunt was blinded by a tree snare... then left to die alone and scared.

Everyone sat there in silence. How can that bastard hurt those dragons? How? And why?

Hiccup looks at her with remorse. Valka then touches Toothless' tailfin - she's angry.

(re: Toothless' tail)

And what of this? Did Drago or his trappers do this, too?

Hiccup nervously laugh a little. Toothless feels his rider's discomfort, he's trying to get his rider's attention.

"Awkward." whispers Snotlout in a sing-song voice.

Nobody says anything, because everyone agrees with him.

Toothless whined, he wants to comfort his rider. Why isn't he there? Hopefully, his screenself will comfort him.

HICCUP

Heh. Well, crazy thing is... I'm actually the one who shot him down.

She glares, confused. Toothless starts smile and let out a happy coo, when his rider look at him and starts pet him.

In the cinema, everyone starts to smile a little when they saw how happy the two look.

Toothless starts smiling, just like his screenself. He loved the pets and smiles that his rider always gives to him. Always full of care and love, of course just brotherly

HICCUP (CONT'D)

It's okay though. He got me back.

(playfully, to Toothless)

Right, bud? You couldn't save all of me, could you? You just had to make it even. So... peg leg!

Everyone gasped in surprise. How can Hiccup make a joke about his leg so easily? And why did this lighten the mood?

Even Gobber looked at the screen in surprise. He had to wait almost fifteen years to not cry or cry to loudly, when he spoke about his lost limbs.

Stoick couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If he had listened to his son then, he wouldn't make a joke about that leg, no he would have both of his legs.

Hiccup rattles his prosthetic leg with a smirk. Suddenly Toothless pick Hiccup up to his back, earning more pets, then a hug.

Toothless let out a happy coo. Looks like his rider's happy again. So automatically, he's happy too. Somehow, when his rider is sad he's sad too.

Valka observes their playful rapport with curiosity.

VALKA

What did your father think of your Night Fury friend?

Stoick felt his heart skip a beat. His long lost wife asked about him!

HICCUP

He didn't take it all that well.

Everyone let out a dry laugh. Well, yes Stoick didn't take it all so well. The Kill Ring and then the battle…

She mutters in agreement, while she pets Toothless. When Hiccup starts speak again, she looks up, confusion on her face.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

But then… he changed. They all did. Pretty soon everyone back home had dragons of their own.

She smiles at Toothless, dismissive.

VALKA

If only it were possible.

Stoick felt his heart sink a little. Valka didn't believe Hiccup. Yes, why should she need to agree with Hiccup. Yes, he hated the dragons before, but that was five whole years ago!

HICCUP

No, really, I –

Valka looks at him again, clearly not agreeing Hiccup. She stands up, she's a little angry.

VALKA

- Believe me, I tried, as well. But people are not capable of change, Hiccup. Some of us... were just born different.

Behind them, Cloudjumper let out a coo, then starts flying towards the ice column.

Everyone sat in silence, eagerly waiting for the next scene.
