i don't own Httyd


All right. I think one more plasma blast should do the trick, bud said Hicca.

Nice. I can see straight to the horizon said, Asher.

That should definitely make it harder for anyone to sneak up on us said Hicca.

I wonder how the twins' lookout tower is coming along said Hicca.

I can only imagine said, Asher.


Scene change to the twins.

Ah, yeah, oh said Ruffnut.

Hey. Does something seem off to you? Asks Tuffnut.

Yeah. This should have fallen down a long time ago said Ruffnut.

Maybe we actually did something... No, that's impossible said Tuffnut.

Say it said Ruffnut.

Something... right? Said Tuffnut.

Ugh. I have a weird feeling inside. Is that accomplishment? Said Tuffnut.

Whoa! I think I feel it, too. Quick! Let's go rub it in Hicca's face before the feeling subsides said Ruffnut.


Scene change to Fishlegs.

Wow. Very interesting said Fishlegs.

Okay, girl, let's move on to rock experiment test subject number three... river stones said Fishlegs.

Hey! What are you doing, Fishlegs? Asks Snotlout.

Oh, hey, Snotlout. Well, if you're asking me I'm testing how different rocks make Meatlug produce different flame and how that changes the projections in the Dragon Eye said Fishlegs.

Oh, that's right said Snotlout.

I just remembered you're boring and I don't care said Snotlout.

Yup! Couldn't have put it better myself, girl said Fishlegs.

Ooh, even more, interesting said Fishlegs.


Scene change to Hicca.

Hicca! Drop everything you're doing and bring your face said Tuffnut.

Prepare to be rubbed said Ruffnut.


Scene change

Dragon riders, you asked for it! We built it. Presenting you... with your new rock lookout tower

You guys never disappoint, do you? Asks Snotlout.

What? No! Wait! It was here a minute ago said Tuffnut.

What did you do with it, Ruffnut? Asks Tuffnut.

I didn't do anything with it said Ruffnut.

You lying she-beast! You were always jealous of my rock tower said Tuffnut.

Your rock tower? Asks Ruffnut.

It was my rock tower said Tuffnut.

Okay, okay, okay said Hicca.

Let's everyone step away from the sharp objects said Hicca.

Okay, look, maybe this job was just too tough for you to do alone said Hicca.

I can always put Asher on the project with you said Hicca.

Uh. Hicca, let's not be hasty said Asher.

But we did build it. Honest said Ruffnut.

Trust me, H, no one was more surprised about that than we were said Tuffnut.

Hicca! Hicca, come quickly said Fishlegs.

That does not sound good said, Asher.


Scene to Fishlegs.

Fishlegs? Said Hicca.

Careful where you step said Fishlegs.

Huh? Fishlegs, what's wrong? Asks Hicca.

Wrong? [chuckles] Nothing's wrong said Fishlegs.

Except that I may have just made the greatest discovery in the history of Berkian civilization said Fishlegs.

Oh, Fishlegs is that said Hicca.

Mm-hmm, this is a Gronckle and here is the boulder surrounded by water and the dual mountain peaks said Fishlegs.

Ooh! Dark Deep said Fishlegs.

The ancestral home of all the Gronckles said Hicca.

It's real, Hicca. And we finally found it said Fishlegs.

Yeah. What's so great about this? Asks Snotlout.

Do I really have to explain? Asks Fishlegs.

Your boring discovery? Yes said Snotlout.

Dark Deep is an island that, up until now, we were never really sure existed said Fishlegs.

It's not in the Book of Dragons anywhere said Fishlegs.

However, in Bork's papers, there is a mention of it, but only briefly and in context to a completely different species said Fishlegs.

If we were able to find Dark Deep, it could unlock so many secrets, not only of Gronckles, but the entire Boulder Class of dragons said Fishlegs.

Do you understand how amazing this is? Asks Fishlegs.

Check that! I absolutely don't care said Snotlout.

Hicca? I've taken the liberty of charting a course based on these encryptions said Fishlegs.

This island so remote is farther than we've ever flown before said Fishlegs.

I've never seen Meatlug so excited. Just think, I'm gonna be the first Berkian to ever set foot on Dark Deep said Fishlegs.

What an honor said Fishlegs.

Okay. I get it, Fishlegs said Hicca.

But Toothless and I should go with you, just in case you need help said Hicca.

Okay, you can come, too said Fishlegs.

But I'm the first one to step foot, remember? Said Fishlegs.

You can be the second said Fishlegs.

Okay, I promise said Hicca.

Well, then welcome aboard, Hicca said Fishlegs.

Come on, Meatlug, we need to go pack said Fishlegs.


Scene changes to the stables.

Uh, Ruff, Tuff? Asks Hicca.

Keep it down, will you? Said Ruffnut.

We were up all night rebuilding the lookout tower from scratch said Ruffnut/

Hey, great! Well, I should have a look at it then, shouldn't I? Said Hicca.

Get ready to feast your eyes said Ruffnut.


Scene change

Okay, so what should my eyes be feasting on, exactly? Asks Hicca.

Well, the tower... Oh, come on said Tuffnut.

Wait. Maybe we were pointing in the wrong direction said Tuffnut.

No, that's it. Left of the chicken. Hi, chicken said Tuffnut.

Somebody keeps stealing our tower said Tuffnut.

Oh, come on! You know no one's going to admit to it said Ruffnut.

Let's just go rebuild the stupid thing said Ruffnut.

Can't trust anyone on this outpost said Tuffnut.


Scene change

Fishlegs, I haven't seen you this excited since Snoggletog morning when we were seven said Hicca.

Whoo-whoo! I know. I couldn't even finish third breakfast said Fishlegs.

I hope I don't get too hungry said Fishlegs.

I can't believe I'm actually here said Fishlegs.

Sorry, girl. We're here said Fishlegs.

I'll work on that last part, Hicca said Fishlegs.

Hey, no look, I love the song. It's just one thing said Hicca.

Where are the roaming Gronckles? Asks Hicca.

You think we could've landed on the wrong Island? Asks Hicca.

No. That's Gravel Lake and that's definitely the dual peaks of Mount Grunt. Hicca, this is Dark Deep said Fishlegs.

Yeah, I'm with you, bud said Hicca.

Oh, look. Meatlug found some new friends said Fishlegs.

Told you there were Gronckles here said Fishlegs.

That's strange behavior for a Gronckle said Hicca.

They're usually pretty friendly said Hicca.

That could be what's doing it. No one likes an earthquake said Fishlegs.

See? Said Fishlegs.

Runaway boulder said Fishlegs.

Meatlug said Fishlegs.

Fishlegs said Hicca.

That was close said Fishlegs.

Hey, Fishlegs? When was the last time you saw a boulder roll uphill? Asks Hicca.

Um... never? Said Fishlegs.

Yeah. Me neither said Hicca.

How is that possible? Asks Fishlegs.

No time to find out said Hicca.

We can't avoid it said Fishlegs.

Quick, down here said Hicca.

It doesn't look like we can fly out, bud said Hicca.

It's okay. I think we lost it said Fishlegs.

Then let's move out. Quietly said Hicca.

What? That's what happens when you don't eat third breakfast said Fishlegs.

Uh, Hicca? Asks Fishlegs.

I see it, Fishlegs said Hicca.

Impressive. Definitely, a Boulder Class said Fishlegs.

Hicca, what you think of "Catastrophic Quaken" as the name? Asks Fishlegs.

Well I think, we should name it later and focus on not getting killed by it now said Hicca.

As long as it's rolled up in that ball, I think we're safe said Hicca.

Fishlegs, get those Gronckles in the air said Hicca.

Okay, on second thought, maybe we're not so safe after all said Hicca.

Fishlegs, Meatlug, retreat said Hicca.

I thought you'd never ask said Fishlegs.

Okay. Come on said Fishlegs.


Scene changes to dragon's edge.

Really? More Gronckles? Asks Snotlout.

Just a few stray Gronckles. We should be able to handle that said Hicca.

Just a few strays, she says said Ruffnut.

Yeah, you should really have a look at this said Asher/

So this is where all the Gronckles from Dark Deep went said Hicca.

Can you believe they flew all this way? Asks Fishlegs.

Gronckles may be slow, but they are tenacious said Fishlegs.

Yeah. Tell me about it said Tuffnut.

Hey! Don't you put that rock in your mouth said Tuffnut.

You have no idea where it's been, mister. Shoo said Tuffnut.

Hicca, these guys are out of control. We have to get them back to their island said, Asher.

There might be a problem with that said Hicca.

They've been chased from their homeland by a giant Boulder Class dragon said Fishlegs.

The Catastrophic Quaken, to be exact said Fishlegs.

Quaken Shmaken said Snotlout.

You let one lousy dragon take over Meatlug's entire island? Asks Snotlout.

It's not that simple, Snotlout said Fishlegs.

Oh. Sure it is said Snotlout.

Quaken, one. Meatlug pathetic said Snotlout

Okay. Let's just drop it. We have a bigger problem here said Hicca.

We need to wrangle all these wild Gronckles said Hicca.

And since I unfairly doubted the twins, I put them in charge said Hicca.

Awesome. It'll be nice to get to know these guys a little bit better.

We got off to a little bit of a rocky start on our relationship said Tuffnut.

You see what I did there? I'll explain it later said Tuffnut.

Back in line, Tuffnut Junior said Tuffnut.

You, too, Junior Tuffnut said Tuffnut.

What was that? Asks Tuffnut.

Tell me you didn't just back-sass me, Junior Tuffnut, Junior said Tuffnut.

I got you now said Ruffnut.

Bad dragon said Tuffnut/


Don't worry, girl. I'll figure out how to get those Gronckles back home. There has to be a way said Fishlegs.

Sounds like someone has a problem that needs some solving said Snotlout.

Well, consider this your lucky day, Fishlegs said Snotlout.

Because the answer man has arrived said Snotlout.

Snotlout? Said Fishlegs.

That's right. And I'm going to help you get Dark Deep back for those Gronckles said Snotlout

You don't understand said Fishlegs.

Yeah. Look at me, then look at you. You're much bigger than me, right? Said Snotlout.

Yes said Fishlegs.

But your boot's untied said Snotlout.

Ah? Whoa said Fishlegs.

Hey, my boot doesn't have laces said Fishlegs.

The only way to get rid of this Quaken and that is to push him off Dark Deep said Snotlout.

And the only way to do that is to fight dirty said Snotlout.

Oh-oh. I don't think so said Fishlegs,

Fishlegs! Do you want to be you, or do you want to win said Snotlout?

I want to win, but not your way said Fishlegs.

Oh, you'll be back! They always come back said Snotlout.

He'll be back said Snotlout.


The next day.

Hey, what are you up to? Asks Fishlegs.

Uh, just strengthening the iron in this tailpiece said Hicca,

Toothless keeps bending it when he makes turns. Don't you, bud? Said Hicca.

So what's up? Asks Hicca.

I was just wondering what the plan was said Fishlegs.

The plan? Asks Hicca.

For Dark Deep? The Quaken? Asks Fishlegs.

How are we gonna get rid of it? Asks Fishlegs,

Oh, yeah. I've been thinking about that, Fishlegs said Hicca.

And I'm not so sure we should, get rid of it, that is said Hicca.

What? Said Fishlegs.

Well, I'm not sure that we have the right to interfere said Hicca.

I mean, that's what happens in nature, all the time said Hicca

The Quaken has taken over the island, for now, said Hicca.

And one day, maybe a bigger dragon will come along and the Quaken will be chased off. You know, who's to say? Said Hiccca.

I'm sorry, Fishlegs said Hicca.


The next day.

I can't believe I'm actually gonna say this, but teach me everything you know, Snotlout said Fishlegs.

You came back? Ahh said Snotlout.

Of course, he came back. I knew he would say Snotlout.

Hookfang said Snotlout.

Um, let's just keep this between us, we don't wanna bother Hicca with any of this said Fishlegs.

I feel you on that. Now, it's time to get dirty said Snotlout.

The key to fighting dirty is never face your opponent said Snotlout.

Look at the sky. Your boots. Anything but their eyes said Snotlout.

Then lower the boom when they least expect it said Snotlout.

Come on, girl said Fishlegs.

Fishlegs, stop it! Come here said Fishlegs.

I knew you were up to something said Hicca.

Fishlegs, have you been training to take on the Quaken? Asks Hicca.

You don't have to answer that said Snotlout.

Oh, yes, he does. Fishlegs? Said Hicca.

Fine. Yes, we have said Fishlegs.

We can't just sit by and let the Quaken take over Dark Deep said Fishlegs.

You all know the Gronckles can't stay here said Fishlegs.

This isn't their home, Hicca said Fishlegs.

You wanna talk about nature, what's right and who belongs where? Said Fishlegs.

The Dragon Eye, it says the Gronckles were supposed to live on Dark Deep and we're gonna make sure they do say Fishlegs.

We're ready for it this time, Hicca said Fishlegs.

Look. Meatlug, battle ready said Fishlegs.

"Battle ready?" Whoa. Fishlegs, this isn't you, it's him said Hicca.

I know. Great, right? Asks Snotlout.

No, not great said Hicca.

You can't listen to Snotlout. That has disaster written all over it said Hicca.

Hey! I resent that! Said Snotlout.

When has anything I've ever done ended in disaster? Asks Snotlout.

Right, Hookfang? Hookfang? Asks Snotlout.

Hookfang said Snotlout.

You're all brain and heart, Fishlegs. Not brawn and bragging said Hicca.

But, Hicca said Fishlegs.

You're right, Fishlegs said Hicca.

They should be back on their own island and you know what, we'll find a way to make that happen, but fighting the Quaken, no, that's not it said Hicca.

Um, you didn't happen to see five or twenty wild Gronckles run through here by any chance? Asks Ruffnut.

Not that we lost them or anything. Even if we did, we'd deny it said Tuffnut.

How could you lose twenty Gronckles? Asks Snotlout.

I know, right? Said Tuffnut.

We built a whole new pen for them said Tuffnut.

Yeah. Out of rocks said Ruffnut.

Right. Rocks. Gronckles said Both.

Hey. Would you guys might give me a lift back to the clubhouse? Asks Snotlout.

Hookfang is otherwise engaged aid Snotlout.

We'll give you a ride back, Snotlout. On one condition said Fishlegs.


I feel bad sneaking away said Fishlegs.

But Meatlug and I were the Gronckles' only hope said Fishlegs.

You did the right thing, Fishlegs said Snotlout.

You can take this dragon and reclaim Dark Deep for the Gronckles said Snotlout.

You never said he was this big! What were you thinking said Snotlout?

You said I did the right thing said Fishlegs.

Uh, yeah. That was before I saw it said Snotlout.

Um, I'm going to, uh... go get some help!

Yeah! Get some help! Oh, he's really big.

Hicca was right. This isn't us said Fishlegs.

But what other choice do we have? Asks Fishlegs.

For the Gronckles and Dark Deep said Fishlegs.

Oh, dear said Fishlegs.


We need to find these muttonheads before they get themselves killed said Hicca.

Look there! Muttonhead incoming said, Asher.

Snotlout! Where's Fishlegs? Asks Hiccca.

You know, that Quaken was a lot bigger than he said it was said Snotlout.

So you just left him? Oh, my gods said Hicca.

Oh, fine! But my death is on your horns, Hookfang said Snotlout.

Oh, Thor! Oh, Thor said Fishlegs.

Fishlegs said Hicca.

The Quaken's cave. It looks like he lives here by himself said Fishlegs.

Meatlug, let's get out of here said Fishlegs.

What is he doing? Asks Asher.

It looks like he's getting himself killed said Snotlout.

Fishlegs, get out of there said Hicca.

No. We aren't going anywhere, right, girl? Aid Fishlegs.

I'm not backing down, I'm not backing down, I'm not backing down said Fishlegs.

I'm not smushed said Fishlegs.

Hey! I thought everyone said that thing was tough said Tuffnut.

Doesn't look so tough to me said Ruffnut.

Fishlegs, that was just about the craziest and bravest, but mostly craziest, thing I have ever seen anyone do say Hicca.

You were right, Hicca. Fighting dirty isn't me said Fishlegs.

That was me said Fishlegs.

It sure was said Hucca.

The Quaken was just being defensive said Fishlegs.

It was scared and all by itself. It wasn't angry at all said Fishlegs.

Oh! Fishlegs, that was awesome said Snotlout.

Just like I taught you said Snotlout.

No need to thank me. Success is its own reward said Snotlout.

Oh, really, Snotlout? Tell me more said Fishlegs.

Oh, yeah, that's right. I just remembered I don't care said Fishlegs.

I taught him too well said Snotlout.
