Chapter 53. The Dragon Thief.
EXT. SKY - NIGHT
[Hiccup stares ahead, frustrated, as Toothless glides over a bed of clouds, glowing in the low, Arctic sun. Hiccup YELLS, then slumps back onto the saddle. Toothless recoils, sensitive to Hiccup's upset. The steam from their breath mixes in the frigid air.]
"Got some lungs on yeh there lad." North remarked with a side glance at Hiccup.
Astrid ( Httyd 2 ) pointedly looked at the twins ( Httyd 2 ) and slowly said. "That seems like a good way to vent frustration, rather than blowing things up!" She raised her voice at the end.
"We aren't responsible for the actions of Barf and Belch." Ruf ( HTTYD 2 ) unconvincingly pleaded.
"Yeah! Guilty as charged!" Tuf Stupidly admitted.
"No idiot! We're supposed to be 'not guilty'!"
HICCUP: Don't worry, bud. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. I promise.
[Toothless' ear plates perk up. He glances over his shoulder to see a disturbance in the blanket of clouds. A strange and arresting MASKED WARRIOR rises from the clouds, standing upon something unseen. Its armour and cape flap in the buffeting turbulence. The warrior eyes Toothless and Hiccup, pulling up alongside them. Hiccup senses the approaching figure in his periphery and sits up, flustered.]
HICCUP: AW, COME ON, DAD! REALLY?!
"Uh, that's not your dad." Said Fred unhelpfully.
"Eh... way to state the obvious Fred."Sigh gogo while Rolling her eyes before blowing up another bumble gum.
"Gogo is right I don't think that's very much helpful." Said Tadashi.
"Yeah I think it's our mom." Chief grinned at the first meeting he had with his mother who looked at him shocked that this version of his son knows.
"Wait, are you telling us?" H, gestures to himself, Hicc and Hiccup of this Current Timeline. "That this is how we met our mother?" He gaped along with his other older selves when Chief Hiccup grin and Older Hiccup nodded.
[He whirls around expectantly then FREEZES, mouth agape. The warrior stares blankly, tilting his head in curiosity while cutting a menacing silhouette. Then, just as gradually as he rose, the warrior dips back beneath the clouds, disappearing.]
"Okay..." Chuckle Nervously Eugene. "That's Creepy Dragon Lady." He said.
"Honestly I think it's pretty damn cool."Smirk Jack. "I think I may try that Move."
HICCUP: (CONT'D) (ALARMED) Okay.
(TO TOOTHLESS) No sudden moves.
[Suddenly, the warrior EXPLODES out of the clouds before them, standing atop a large dragon. They circle Hiccup and Toothless, forcing them to TREAD AIR. The warrior points a staff toward Hiccup, unnervingly, as he returns to face them.]
"A Stormcutter!" Both squealed Fish and Legs ( HTTYD 2 And RTTE ).
"They're very rare!" Legs Proclaimed excited as for H, Hicc and Hiccup looked on in awe while they're although interested in the Dragon on screen they were all narrowing their eyes at the Rider on Screen.
They already know this was Indeed Valka of this Timeline. She's definitely not Drago as they look at the guy sitting on the chair of Shame.
HICCUP: Hold on, hold on.
[Toothless GROWLS a warning. Suddenly, they're ambushed from behind. Hiccup is plucked off of Toothless by another DRAGON and carried off.]
HICCUP: Toothless!
"NO! TOOTHLESS!" Yelled H, Hicc and Hiccup which Causes The Toothlesses all pricked up their ear plates, growling at the screen.
[With the tail unmanned, Toothless PLUMMETS helplessly. He FLAPS wildly then CRASHES through the ice into the black, frigid water. FLAILING and CRYING OUT, he struggles to stay afloat as he watches... Hiccup disappears into the night sky, carried off in the talons of the strange dragon - one of TENS that accompany the warrior in a cavalcade.]
The Toothlesses had nudged all their respective riders in distress, trying to reassure them.
[Toothless BELLOWS in distress, desperately trying to take to the air. As he LEAPS and CRASHES, time and again... A group of SPINY DORSAL FINS split the ice, carving a path toward Toothless. Beneath the ice, a pod of SEASHOCKERS approach, two-headed, with Manta Ray like wings GLIDING silently in the gloom. Fixated on Hiccup, Toothless is caught by surprise as the Seashockers surface and DRAG HIM UNDER. Hiccup's helmet bobs to the surface, marking all that remains.]
H, Hicc and Hiccup all hugged their Toothless as hard as they could. "Be okay," one of them whispered. "Please be okay."
