Chapter 1: Exposition
At the Jade Palace, we see Shifu teaching Po to learn a new technique known as the "Dragon Strike". As hours went by, things are going exactly well for Po, who happens to be tripping over when he tried to do that technique. Unhappy that he will not succeed, Tigress, Tai Lung, Monkey, Mantis, Crane, and Viper appear and seem to experience this sad event.
"How's the "Dragon Strike" technique coming along, master?", asked Tigress.
"Not very well", said Shifu, "Remember Po, use your calm mind and you will unleash the "Dragon Strike". It does not matter if you fail and as long as you believe in yourself, you will succeed. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master Shifu", said Po.
"For now, you may rest", said Shifu, "We will continue to work on our training tomorrow."
Po walks with Tigress and the others to the mountains where Shifu managed to teach Po kung fu and had succeeded in doing and after training against Tai Lung and Crane, Po becomes tired and rests for only 30 minutes.
"Don't worry, Po", said Viper, "It was sad to see you fail to learn the "Dragon Strike" techinque, but sometimes you'll get a second chance."
"Thanks, Viper", said Po, "I'm gonna go to my father and see if how's the noodles going along."
"We'll go with you, Po, just in case", said Mantis.
Later, we see Mr. Ping successfully bringing the noodles to all of the villagers of the Valley of Peace and turns out that his restaurant has become more popular than before.
"Thank you, Mr. Ping", said villager #3.
"These noodles will always be fantastic", said villager #4.
"Thanks, Mr. Ping", said bunny child #1.
"My pleasure to all of you wonderful villagers", said Mr. Ping.
Then, Po and the others arrive.
"Hello there, Mr. Ping", said Tai Lung.
"Why, hello, Tai Lung and friends", said Mr. Ping, "And how's my wonderful kung fu warrior doing today?"
"Nothing special", said Po, "I was trying to learn this new technique, but I failed... miserably."
"It doesn't matter, Po", said Mr. Ping, "You just have to..."
"Keep trying", said Po, "I know, dad."
"He just had a rough day", said Monkey, "So we trained for a little while."
"Thank you, dear friends", said Mr. Ping, "Would all of you like some noodles?"
"Uh, no thanks", said Crane.
"We're not that hungry", said Monkey.
"Me neither", said Viper.
"Thanks for asking, anyway", said Tigress.
"I think I'll stay here and watch Po", said Tai Lung, "You guys head on back to the Jade Palace."
"We will", said Tigress.
"Good luck, Tai Lung", said Crane.
The Furious Five head on back to the Jade Palace and Tai Lung sees Po, still upset about the training he had today. He puts a paw on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Po", said Tai Lung, "Everything will turn out fine."
"I hope so", said Po and looks at the beautiful sky.
Meanwhile, at the Isle of Berk, we see Hiccup training with the other teenage vikings including Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Fishlegs, Snotlout and Astrid, who is still his girlfriend using the axes.
"This isn't so bad, huh?", said Hiccup.
"Yeah", said Astrid, "A one-on-one axe combat tournament where we can be fair with each other about our skills."
"It'd be way cooler than getting your hands wrinkled in ice water", said Snotlout.
Then, Goober appears.
"Alright", said Goober, "That's enough training for today. All of you have done well."
Later that night, we see Stoick, the leader of the vikings, watching Hiccup talking to Astrid while Toothless, Hiccup's pet dragon is flying. He then realizes that he needs to spend more time with him even though he did accept the fact that he became friends with the Night Fury.
Toothless lands perfectly, allowing the two teenage vikings to get off.
"See you tomorrow, Astrid", said Hiccup.
"See you tomorrow, Hiccup", said Astrid.
Hiccup walks towards his father, who smiles upon seeing him.
"Hi, dad", said Hiccup.
"Hi... Hiccup", said Stoick, "Listen, I was um... wondering if... someday, we would spend time with each other. You know. Father & Son?"
"I love to", said Hiccup, "but before we do that, there's something I have to ask."
"What is it, Hiccup?", asked Stoick.
"Is there anything bad that could go wrong?", asked Hiccup.
"No, Hiccup", said Stoick, "As long as you're here, we'll always be together."
Hiccup smiles and heads back to to his house where his room is at and Toothless follows him before saying "Goodnight", to Stoick before heading off to bed.
"Goodnight, Hiccup", said Stoick.
Later, Hiccup only slept for a little while, but is awake and seems to be thinking about what his father had said.
"Maybe dad's right", thought Hiccup, "We do have to spend some quality time with each other."
Will something bad happens? What will Hiccup and Po would find? All will be revealed in the next chapter! Stay tuned!
