ON THE GROUND The Vikings watch in horror as Hiccup and Toothless disappear into the boiling inferno.

The villagers glanced over at the boy. He was still with them, they reminded themselves. This won't happen. They would make sure of this. Too bad that they didn't know that Siren and Nightwolf were going to erase their memories.

DISSOLVE TO: A whiteout of ash. And through it comes...

STOICK
"Hiccup? Hiccup!?"

Stoick appears, searching desperately. Everything is scorched. Even the ground is smoking from the terrible heat.

STOICK (CONT'D)
"Hiccup!? Son!?"

Through the ash, Stoick the motionless silhouette of Toothless.

STOICK (CONT'D) (GRAVE)
"Hiccup."

He hurries to the dragon's side. Toothless is roughed up, but conscious. His scorched saddle, however, is vacant. Stoick looks to the sky in despair. He buckles at the knees, overwhelmed by the loss.

Everyone bowed their heads in respect for the boy. Hiccup, on the other hand, was looking at the screen for telltale signs that Toothless lives.

STOICK (CONT'D)
"Oh son...I did this..."

Astrid pushes through the crowd, her eyes welling up. Followed by Gobber. They flank Stoick as he kneels, slumped over. Behind them, a ring of Vikings form, keeping a respectful distance. As the dust and smoke clear, a ring of wild dragons can also be seen, gathering just behind and between the Vikings. Toothless stirs and groggily rolls his head toward Stoick. Their eyes meet.

Hiccup sighed in relief. "Thank the gods you're alive."

"But you aren't."

"It was inevitable. I'm sorry Toothless. Just know I love you and don't blame you. You tried to save me." Hiccup hugged the dragon tears dripping onto him.

Toothless curled around the boy licking the tears away.

STOICK (CONT'D)
"I'm so sorry..."

TOOTHLESS
"I better not regret this."

This caused everyone to think. Regret what?

Toothless unfolds his wings, revealing Hiccup, unconscious, clutched safely against his chest. Stoick's eyes widen.

Not one said anything. They still didn't know if he was still alive. For all they know Toothless was able to save his body.

STOICK (CONT'D)
"Hiccup."

He scoops Hiccup into his arms. Listens to his heart. Bursts into relieved laughter.

STOICK (CONT'D)
"He's alive! (TO TOOTHLESS) You brought him back alive!"

There was an uproar of cheers. Hiccup smiled at his family. Toothless was grinning like an idiot. Then something came to mind. Wars cannot without sacrifices. Hiccup frowned. There must be something that was lost. He was tapping his fingers on his left leg.

The crowd roars. Followed by the dragons. The Vikings look around to find themselves surrounded. Stoick leans close to Toothless, meeting him eye to eye.

STOICK (CONT'D) (PRIVATELY)
"Thank you... for saving my son."

TOOTHLESS
"It was the least I could do for my brother."

The chief smiled down at the obsidian dragon.

Gobber looks Hiccup up and down.

GOBBER
"Well, you know... most of him."

This made everyone think. What did he mean?

Stoick glances back at him. Gobber shrugs, redirecting his eyes toward...

INT. STOICK'S HOUSE - DAY CLOSE ON HICCUP, asleep, his head on a pillow. Healing scars on his face show that maybe a week or two have passed. Toothless hovers over him, WHINING and GRUMBLING impatiently.

Hiccup smiled. "Impatient aren't we?"

Toothless licked his cheek.

Hiccup stirs. Opens his eyes.

HICCUP (GROGGY)
"Oh, hey Toothless."

"Really after all of that, that's what you say?" Astrid questioned.

Hiccup shrugged. "Eh. What am I supposed to say?"

Toothless excitedly nuzzles and nudges Hiccup.

TOOTHLESS
"Riegan you're awake!"

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Okay, okay! I'm happy to see you too, bud. Now just-"

Toothless steps on his groin, causing Hiccup to sit BOLT UPRIGHT with a YELP.

All the guys winced in unison.

He looks around, confounded. He's in his bed, moved beside the fire pit on the main floor of his house.

Stoick smiled.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"I'm in my house. (re: Toothless, leaning over him, excited) You're in my house."

Toothless TEARS around the room, knocking things over, far too big for the space.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Uh...does my dad know you're in here?!"

Toothless pauses at the foot of the bed, tongue wagging.

TOOTHLESS
"Yup! I was keeping an eye on you in case you woke up. Your dad just left a minute before."

Stoick sighed. When he leaves, Hiccup wakes up.

He eyes the rafters... and LEAPS UP onto them, brimming with 'happy dog' energy.

HICCUP (CONT'D) (DISTRESSED)
"Okay, okay - no Toothless! Aw, come on..."

Hiccup shifts to get out of bed... then pauses... sensing that something is wrong. He peels back the covers slowly. What he sees startles, horrifies, and overwhelms him - all at once.

"What? What's wrong? Why do you look like that?" Astrid questioned rapidly. Hiccup shrugged.

ON THE BARE FLOOR His booted foot touches down. Followed by a mechanical prosthetic in place of his second leg.

Many stared wide eye. "The youngest amputee," muttered Gobber. "He's too young."

Hiccup felt his lips twitch. "At least it wasn't my head."

"At least you'd be quieter," called a Viking.

Hiccup blushed in embarrassment. "True."

It's an ingenious spring-loaded replacement, made of wood and iron. Toothless lands by the bed and approaches calmly, sniffing the new leg. He raises his eyes to meet Hiccup's, seemingly aware of what Hiccup is going through. Hiccup braces himself on the bedpost and tries to stand on it. He winces and stifles the pain...

"You'll pull through. You always do." Gobber gave the boy a smile which he gladly returned.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Okay...okay..."

...but STUMBLES with the first step. Toothless catches Hiccup's fall with his head... and slowly lifts him up, stabilizing him.

TOOTHLESS
"Don't worry, I've got you."

HICCUP
"Thanks bud."

The villagers smiled at the two's friendship.

Hiccup leans on him like a crutch. They take a few steps together. Their missing parts form a poetic silhouette as they make their way toward the door.

"Hey look, bud, we match!"

"That we do."

Hiccup pries it open (as he did in the opening scene), revealing a MONSTROUS NIGHTMARE flapping outside the door. Hiccup YELPS and slams the door closed. He turns to Toothless, alarmed.

Some gasped. What's wrong?

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Toothless? Stay here, bud."

Hiccup pauses... and cracks the door open again. He peeks outside, his eyes widening. He allows to door to swing open, revealing... ... the Monstrous Nightmare, carrying Snotlout on its back.

SNOTLOUT
"Come on guys, get ready! Hold on tight! Here we go!"

A class of newbie dragon riders follow him through frame on a variety of dragons, pulling back the curtain on an amazing vista in which: Vikings and dragons mill about by the dozen, basking on the rooftops, weaving along the plaza. No one seems upset, there isn't a sword in sight. Under the framework of a MASSIVE BARN, a Nadder BLASTS fire onto a metal brace. It steps back to let a Viking hammer it into shape. Nearby, a Gronkle lands, carrying a tree trunk in his mouth. He shows a Viking what he's found. The Viking pats his head. Another Viking backs a Zippleback into a stall to check it for size.

They all watched amazed at Berk's transformation.

Hiccup takes a step outside, finding Stoick waiting for him on the step.

HICCUP
"I knew it. I'm dead."

Stoick laughs.

STOICK
"No, but you gave it your best shot."

He puts his arm around Hiccup, steadying him. He gestures to the transformed village.

STOICK (CONT'D)
"So? What do you think?"

Hiccup just shrugs, amazed. Below, the plaza, villagers take notice.

VIKING #1
"Hey look! It's Hiccup!"

They rush over, surrounding him with a hero's welcome.

VIKING #2
"Hiccup, how you doin' mate?"

VIKING #3
"It's great to see you up and about."

Hiccup's green orbs widened in shock before melting into a smile.

STOICK (SWEETLY)
"Turns out all we needed was a little more of... (GESTURES NON-SPECIFICALLY AT HICCUP) ... this."

HICCUP (PLAYING ALONG)
"You just gestured to all of me."

GOBBER (O.S.)
"Well. Most of you."

Gobber pushes through the crowd, beaming proudly.

GOBBER (CONT'D) (re: the prosthetic leg) "That bit's my handiwork. With a little Hiccup flare thrown in. Think it'll do?"

HICCUP (bittersweet, coming to TERMS) "I might make a few tweaks."

Gobber playfully glared at the boy.

Hiccup being the mature one, stuck his tongue out at him.

Gobber presents Hiccup with a rebuilt saddle, rigging, and tail.

GOBBER
"Welcome home."

Suddenly, Toothless pounces on the crowd, crushing several unsuspecting Vikings under his weight.

VIKING
"Night Fury, get down!"

Toothless puffed his chest out. "That's right, fear m-"

Hiccup was able to catch him under the chin, sending him into a sweet bliss.

Toothless eyes the new tail excitedly, tongue wagging. Amidst the groans and grumbles, Hiccup and Toothless exchange a sheepish look.

TOOTHLESS
"Whoops."

CLOSE ON CLOSE ON Hiccup's prosthetic foot, snapping into the modified stirrup. The two pieces click together, forming a single shape. Astride Toothless, he's whole again. He rotates the pedal. The new tail opens. Bright red with a skull and Viking horns emblazoned on it. Hiccup approves.

Hiccup nodded. "I quite like that design."

CUT BACK TO REVEAL... Hiccup and Toothless, saddled up and ready to fly. Astrid backs her Nadder into position.

HICCUP (TO TOOTHLESS)
"You ready?"

TOOTHLESS (SNORTS)
"Duh!"

From his mount, Hiccup looks out over the changed world.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
"This... is Berk. (BEAT) It snows nine months of the year... and hails the other three."

They LEAP into the bright blue sky, together as one. Astrid follows, giving chase.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Some Vikings called.

Hiccup and Astrid race their dragons through the village - under eaves, over rooftops, down cliff-sides, and between ship masts. It's a high energy, romantic dance of sorts.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
"The only upsides are the pets. While other places have...ponies or parrots, we have..."

Their fellow recruits join them as they take to the open sky, rocketing far above the village. The Northern sky swirls with blazing, multicolored dragons. Hiccup and Toothless break from the pack, spinning into the blinding sun.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D) (PROUDLY) ... "dragons."

FADE TO WHITE

There was an uproar of cheering and clapping. Nightwolf and Siren left to let them talk to each other. "So, the Gift of the Night Fury?"

Nightwolf smirked and nodded. "Yup. So I'm going to break the news that they will forget all of this up until the events happen and some things they will still never remember."

Siren nodded.

Nightwolf went back into the theater. "Okay!" She yelled over the Vikings. "I regret to inform you that you will not remember anything from what has happened."

Cries of protest came from them, but they all silenced when Stoick stepped forward. "Are you saying that my son will still lose his leg?"

Nightwolf nodded solemnly. "It appears so. You will also forget that Hiccup can communicate with dragons and Valka being alive. I'm sorry, but it's crucial for the timeline to be the same."

Hiccup stepped up. "We understand. But do you know how we'll spend snoggletog?"

Nightwolf smirked. "I'm so glad you asked. It's called, 'Gift of the Night Fury'. Once Siren gets the thing we shall start."

Everyone went to their seats anxious to start.

Siren came back and nodded. Nightwolf pressed play.


Alright there y'all have it! Next chapter is "Gift of the Night Fury" I'm so excited to show this!
