Bold – Movie
Italics-Dragon's talking
Normal-humans talking
[A painted dragon, with a sword run through it. It's the billowing sail of Stoick's ship. Stoick hovers over the familiar nautical map – his eyes on the uncharted corner, swirling in mist and illustrations of dragons.]
[STOICK]
["I can almost smell them. They're close. Steady."]
/"How in the name of Luna can you smell us? No human has a nose that good, well except maybe Alpha."/ a young Nightmare asks.
/ "Oh young one, first I believe Stoick means that figuretively. Second, who bow to Hiccup?"/ Shade says.
/ "Yes Lady Alpha." / the young Nightmare states firmly.
/ "Have you told your parents this?"/ Shade asks.
/ "Um no, I... I don't have any parents. Both were eaten."/ the young Nightmare crooned.
Almost all the Vikings looked thoughtful wondering what he means by eaten. Hiccup looks at Shade, she nods. Hiccup walks up to the young Nightmare. Most were surprised to see the young Nightmare bow at Hiccups approach.
"Please young one, there is no need to bow." Hiccup said straight faced.
/ "He has to bow Alpha, I thought we went over this?"/ Toothless sighed.
"Huh starnge, I didn't hear anything about a dragon having to bow to his/her father." Hiccup chuckled.
Gasps from all.
/ "You mean..." the Nightmare started to cry.
"Yes son I will be your new father and Shade is now your new mother." Hiccup said smiling.
The young Nightmare couldn't take it anymore and all but tackled Hiccup to the ground crying into his chest.
/ "Thank you dad." the Nightmare cried.
"Your welcome Ignis." Hiccup said stroking his son.
As both father and son got up and walked over to Shade to sit the dragons from the nest were in shock, while the Vikings were looking a Stoick to see that he actually had a smile on his face. It was small but it was there.
[Stoick raises his gaze too... An epic fog bank, towering from sky to sea like a bruised, daunting curtain, beyond which nothing is visible. The three ships drift alongside is, skirting its solid edge, looking for an opening. On deck, the crewmen mill nervously, all too aware of what Stoick is considering.]
[STOICK]
["Take us in."]
[The helmsmen steers Stoick's ship into the fog. The men draw their weapons, prepping for the worst.]
[VIKING]
["Hard to port... for Helheim's Gate."]
[The ships disappear into the whiteout. Suddenly a flash of light. A dragon's silhouette. Hollers. Sounds of splitting and shattering wood. Plunges into the water. Another bright flash.]
"Ok dad, how many lost?" Hiccup asked.
"The Gods must have blessed us for none died, we just lost a ship." Stoick sighed.
"I thank you dragons for letting my father and tribe go free." Hiccup said looking at the nest dragons.
/ "We just wanted to scare them off." A Gronckle said grinning.
[Back at the training ring Gobber is ordering the recruits around.]
[GOBBER]
["Focus everyone! You're not even trying."]
[Stormfly is loose in a maze-like arrangement of moveable walls.]
"Can we skip this please?" Astrid begged blushing.
"Nope sorry." Leo grinned.
"Wait, why does my daughter want to skip this? What happened?" Eydis
"You'll see." Night giggled.
[GOBBER]
["Today... is all about attack.]
[Stormfly hops from wall to wall, sending the recruits scurrying.]
[GOBBER]
["Nadders are quick and light on their feet. Your job is to be quicker and lighter."]
[The recruits move in. Stormfly spots Fishlegs' ample rear hiding behind a wall. She whips her tail of spikes. Fishlegs screams and lifts his shield to defend himself.]
[FISHLEGS]
["I'm really beginning to question your teaching methods."]
"I've been questioning them for years Fish."
[HICCUP]
["I've been questioning them for years Fish!"]
Now everyone found that weird.
[GOBBER]
["Look for its blind spot. Every dragon has one. Find it, hide in it, and strike."]
[Ruff and Tuff rush in, diving and rolling up to Stormfly's nose. Stormfly sniffs the air – it can't see them. Tuff and Ruff are smashed together – too close for comfort.]
[RUFF]
["Do you ever bathe?"]
[TUFF]
["If you don't like it, then get your own blind spot."]
[RUFF]
["How about I give you one!"]
[Ruff and Tuff shove each other, till their movement and noise give them away. Stormfly attacks, snapping at both of them.]
[GOBBER]
["Blind spot? Yes. Deaf spot? Not so much.]
[HICCUP]
["So Gobber how do you think they'd fair against a Night Fury?"]
This caught everyone's attention.
[GOBBER]
["You're the only one who can answer that lad."]
Some people looked confused, some glared at Hiccup and Shade, and others were wondering how these two met.
[They return their attention to the ring as the Stormfly leaps over a wall surprising Astrid. Astrid somersaults into her blind spot, confusing her. She rears back to strike – just as Snotlout leaps in, protectively sweeping Astrid behind him.]
[SNOTLOUT]
["Watch out, babe. I'll take care of this."]
[ASTRID]
["Hey!"]
[Snotlout misses. Stormfly laughs.]
[STORMFLY]
["Oh, my Luna, Alpha was right. His cousin does suck."]
Everyone but Snotlout and Spitelout laughed.
[Astrid hears a chuckle behind her and looks to see Hiccup trying not to laugh. Astrid glares at both Snotlout and Hiccup.]
[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!"]
[Stormfly tears off after Astrid, knocking down walls in pursuit. She leaps and dives like a highly trained gymnast. Hiccup wanders down into the ring to end the session.]
[HICCUP]
["Now which way should I "defeat" Stormfly?"]
"What do you mean by which way dad?" Ignis asked.
"You see son I know several ways to calm Stormfly. Some are a little unorthodox." Hiccup said with a cheeky grin.
"Al...Alpha please, not in front of others!" Stormfly screeched embarrassed.
"Don't worry Storm your secret is safe." Hiccup grinned.
[GOBBER]
["Hiccup!"]
[ASTRID]
["Hiccup!"]
[Hiccup spins around to see the maze walls collapsing like dominos toward him. Astrid comes flying through the dust landing in his arms.]
[TUFF]
["Oooh! Love on the battlefield!"]
[RUFF]
["She could do better."]
[Stormfly closes in, emerging through the clouds of dust.]
[HICCUP]
[Why hello my dear. Beautiful day isn't it?"]
Laughing could be heard from two people, Brynjar and Eydis we're holding the sides in pain.
[Stormfly spins around and races toward them. Hiccup sets Astrid down. Astrid grabs her axe. Hiccup rolls his eyes. Stormfly is right behind Hiccup. Hiccup spins scratching Stormfly's jaw line knocking her down to the ground in blissful sleep. Hiccup pats Stormfly's muzzle.]
"Son why didn't you tell me you were this good with dragons?" Stoick asked.
Both Hiccup and Leo looked at him.
"Did you really just ask me him that?" Both countered.
[GOBBER]
["Well done, Hiccup."]
[Gobber goes to drag Stromfly back into her cage, but Hiccup stops him.]
[HICCUP]
["I'll handle that Gobber."]
[Gobber shrugs and ambles off. Hiccup turns to find Astrid glaring at him, blushing.]
[ASTRID]
["Is this some kind of joke to you?"]
[HICCUP]
["Why yes, yes, it is."]
[ASTRID]
["Our parent's' war is about to become ours. Figure out which side you're on.]
"Uh oh. Quick hide!" All the arena dragons cried huddling in a corner.
"What in the world are you guys doing?" a Nightmare asked.
"You'll see!" They cried.
[Hiccup's cheery face changed into one of absolute fury. He marches right up to Astrid's face.]
[HICCUP]
["This stupid war is already mine. I lost my mother to it, I lost my father to it, and the people I love are in danger of it, so don't you feed me that crap. I know more about dragons and this war than anyone else on this forsaken island and not one villager is willing to try change. Because if we don't change how we look at this war, this will be our final century. Now when you are willing to admit that, you can find me, but for now get the hell out of this arena and get to thinking long and hard Astrid."]
[The recruits looked on with shock, awe, and fear.]
This is mirrored by everyone human and dragon in the hall. Some people turned pale. Some dragons rolled onto their backs.
[HICCUP]
["MOVE NOW!"]
"Oh, so that's why." That Nightmare said in a small voice.
[All the recruits ran out of the arena. By now Stormfly was awake and is now standing behind Hiccup.]
[STORMFLY]
["Hiccup you know getting angry at them and your people isn't going to help."]
"Wait did you just call the Alpha Hiccup?" A Skrill asked.
"Oh no please skip this please. Shade can't see this... oops." Stormfly said embarrassed.
"Nope there shall be no skipping." Night giggled.
"Wait, why is she acting like that for?" Shade asked.
No one would answer.
[HICCUP]
["I... I know Storm it's just hard having to hold onto the secret of the war."]
"Secret? Son what are you on about?" Stoick asked.
"If the show doesn't say then I'll tell you after." Hiccup sighed.
[Stormfly changes into her dragon-human form and wraps Hiccup in a hug nuzzling his cheek and purring."]
[STORMFLY]
[I know Hiccup. I wish us dragons could just tell your people what is happening. Come why don't you give me a hand with you know what and then you and Shade can go find her brother."]
[HICCUP]
["Ok Storm, but I'm not cleaning all your scales this time. I don't fear anyone but the gods, but Shade is someone you don't want to cross."]
[STORMFLY]
["I know but it's not like I'm trying to steal her mate from her."]
[Both laughed and headed for Stormfly's cage.]
"Stormfly?" Shade asked sweetly.
"I... um... we... oh please it's not what you think Shade it's honest. Hiccup found some mixture that makes your scales shine and you know I like to look my best, and some places are hard to reach. Theirs no one else to do it, so..." Stormfly rambled embarrassed.
Laughing was the response she got.
"Oh, Storm I knew what was going on the whole time." Shade giggled.
"What how you don't ever come out in the village that far?" Stormfly asked.
"Because Hiccup does the same for me. His hands are magical, aren't they?" Shade sighed.
"Yeah... I mean I guess so." Stormfly said shyly.
More laughing from everyone.
Sorry this one took so long I've got some other stories I'm writing as well and they are taking up some time. Well until next time thank you for reading have a wonderful day.
