Chapter 11
[Scene cuts to the Arena, in the middle of a training session]
HICCUP
„You know, I just happened to notice the book had nothing on Night Furies. Is there another book? Or a sequel? Maybe a little Night Fury pamphlet?"
I started laughing. That was typical for Hiccup.
[A Nadder fires at him]
HICCUP
„WHOA!"
GOBBER
„Focus, Hiccup! You're not even trying!" [talking to all teens] „Today is all about ATTACK!Nadders are quick and light on their feet! Your job is to be quicker and lighter!"
FISHLEGS
„AAAAAH! I'm really beginning to question your teaching methods!"
„What teaching method exactly?"
GOBBER
„Look for its blind spot. Every dragon has one. Find it, hide in it, and strike!"
RUFFNUT
„Ugh! Do you ever bathe?"
TUFFNUT
„If you don't like it, then just get your own blind spot!"
RUFFNUT
„How about I give you one?!"
[The Nadder attacks the twins]
No wonder. You couldn't not hear their argument.
GOBBER
„Blind spot, yes. Deaf spot? Not so much. Heh, heh, heh."
HICCUP
„Hey, so how would one sneak up on a Night Fury?"
GOBBER
„No one's ever met one and lived to tell the tale. NOW, GET IN THERE!"
Eh, yes. He's standing right in front of you.
HICCUP
„I know, I know, but hypothetically-"
ASTRID (WHISPERING)
„Hiccup! Get down!"
SNOTLOUT
„Watch out, babe. I'll take care of this."
[He tosses his hammer at Nadder, but misses]
„Yeah, I see you taking care of this." I shook my head.
ASTRID
„Hey!"
SNOTLOUT
„The sun was in my eyes, Astrid! What do you want me to do, block out the sun? I could do that, but I don't have time right now!"
„What sun exactly do you mean?"
HICCUP
„They probably take the daytime off. You know, like a cat. Has anyone ever seen one napping?"
GOBBER
„Hiccup!"
[The walls start toppling as Astrid starts leaping from wall to wall, the Nadder behind her. Astrid jumps off the last collapsing wall, right onto Hiccup]
ASTRID
„HICCUP!"
TUFFNUT
„Oooh! Love on the battlefield!"
RUFFNUT
„She could do better."
HICCUP
„Just... let me... why don't you..."
[Astrid yanks the axe off Hiccup's shield and swings it at the Nadder]
GOBBER
„Well done, Astrid."
ASTRID (TO HICCUP)
„Is this some kind of a joke to you?! Our parents' war is about to become ours! Figure out which side you're on."
Oh, I think that already decided. And it's not the side of the vikings ...
