FADE IN: EXT. NORTH SEA/VILLAGE - NIGHT We skim above a dark, wild ocean. The camera turns toward a lone island, Berk. It is a gigantic shard of rock jutting straight out of the water. HICCUP (V.O.) This, is Berk. The vikings jumped when hiccup's voice echoed around the room. "What is this?" gobber questioned. "this is a movie, and hiccup's voice is a voice over" lucky replied "great we get to hear more of useless's voice" snotlout said smugly hiccup frowned slightly at the comment. HICCUP (V.O) It's twelve days North of hopeless, and a few degrees South of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the meridian of misery. The dragons gave their version of a laugh because they knew it was true. the vikings however were shocked at how hiccup was describing their home. HOW DARE HE?! Berk is not that bad... is it? the vikings thought. The camera drifts over rolling hills to reveal a small village nestled on an outcropping of sea mounts. HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D) My village. In a word, sturdy. And it's been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. "Well all our buildings wouldn't have to be new if these monsters didn't burn them down!" stoic yelled hiccup growled slightly under his breath but although no human heard him, it doesn't mean the dragons didn't why would he be angry, all the vikings hate us! don't they? while the dragons were still confused over the small boys actions, the rest of the audience continued watching the movie. The camera drifts closer, circling. HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D) We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. The vikings grew angry at the mention of their so called Pests. HICCUP (V.O) see, most places have mice or mosquitos. We have... Sheep graze peacefully on a hillside. Suddenly one is snatched. CUT TO: INT. STOICK'S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS A door is pulled open... as a DRAGON swoops directly toward it, BLASTING FIRE. The door is SLAMMED. The fire shoots through the slats of wood, illuminating HICCUP, a gangly teenage Viking.
Everyone laughed at hiccup's terrified expression, while hiccup slightly frowned. yeah he admits he does look hilarious but truth be told. he was terrified.
HICCUP ...dragons. EXT. STOICK'S HOUSE He reopens the sizzling door, as leaps off of the front porch. He weaves through the erupting mayhem as Vikings pour out of the buildings, ready for a fight. Many vikings groan when hiccup steps outside his house, hiccup hearing this snuggles further into his beanbag and tries to inch closer to the dragons. "well i'm sorry that me getting out of the house to get to the forge for work is such a big problem" hiccup says quietly hoping nobody heard him. unfortunately the adult vikings heard this and a few snorted at him working while others looked down, for some of them have seen hiccup work at the forge and couldn't deny he was the best when gobber wasn't around. HICCUP (V.O.) Most people would leave. Not us, We're Vikings. the vikings cheered, "yeah were tough, strong and downright handsome" snotlout said glancing at astrid with a flirtatious smile, which was soon whiped off with a powerful punch to the stomach from the blonde viking. HICCUP (V.O) We have stubbornness issues. The vikings faces dropped, "oh and you don't?" stoic asked, hiccup smirked and gestured to the screen. Vikings sound the alarm. Viking men and women pour out into the streets, axes in hand. ON HICCUP darting through alleys, staying under eaves, making his way through the battle. "i must say lad, you're very good at dodging people 5 times your size." gobber spoke, hiccup turned to his mentor and father figure and smiled brightly. Stoic saw this exchange and couldn't help feel a bubble of jealousy at how relaxed they look with one another. HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D) My name's Hiccup. Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. "There's a worse name than hiccup?" snotlout laughed. "i don't know you tell me, SNOTLOUT?" hiccup hissed, shocking snotlout to silence making the teens (including hiccup unless i say) laugh. dose hiccup not like his name? stoic pondered. HICCUP (V.O) Like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that. Dragons sweep back and forth, dodging axes and blasting the Vikings who throw them. A burly warrior gets tossed in an explosion, knocking Hiccup to the ground. VIKING (FIERCE) Arghhhhh! (cheery, insane) Mornin'! Everyone laughed at the said viking on the screen, "sorry lad, was a wee bit tipsy" said viking replied sheepishly. hiccup chuckled and waved him off. Hiccup gets to his feet and continues to rush past gigantic men and women. HICCUP (V.O.) Meet the neighbors. Hoark the Haggard... HOARK What are you doing out!? HICCUP ... Burnthair the Broad... BURNTHAIR Get inside! HICCUP ... Phlegma the Fierce... PHLEGMA THE FIERCE Get back inside! HICCUP . Ack. He passes a silent ox of a viking, picking his ear. HICCUP (CONT'D) Yep, just Ack. Enter STOICK, the biggest Viking of all. He yanks Hiccup from the path of a strafing dragon and holds aloft to the crowd. "congrats, you just proved you lift your teenaged son with one hand!" hiccup remarked sarcasticly, making all the vikings laugh while dragons eyes widen, father?! no it can't possibly be! all the dragons thought. STOICK Hiccup!? (accusingly; to the crowd) What is he doing out again?! (TO HICCUP) What are you doing out?! Get inside! "Well i was on my way to the forge" hiccup replied sadly to the stoick on the screen, stoick looked at his son hearing his comment and frowned. He was going to the forge? stoick, although slightly worried about hiccup's safety was glad his son could at least do SOMETHING during the raids of those demons. The flames light up his scowling face and matted red beard. He sets Hiccup down and turns to the sky, searching. HICCUP (V.O.) (IN AWE) That's Stoick the Vast. Chief of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby he popped a dragon's head clean off of its shoulders. Do I believe it? Stoick grabs a wooden cart and hurls it, knocking the strafing dragon out of the sky. HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D) Yes I do. Stoick was proud that his son had believed what he could do, even if they were rumors. hiccup sunk back down into his beanbag trying to make himself smaller if possible at hi confession. How could i ever think that was true? hiccup thought. many of the vikings and dragons smiled at hiccup's loyalty to his father. An EXPLOSION forces Vikings to DUCK. Stoick stands firm, brushing flaming debris off of his shoulder. STOICK (barking; to his men) What have we got? VIKING #1 Gronkles. Nadders. Zipplebacks. Oh, and Hoark saw a Monstrous Nightmare. STOICK Any Night Furies? VIKING #1 None so far. Come on toothless where are you? i need you, because once they see you and me. i'm dead. Hiccup thought with a worried and tense expression that the vikings didn't miss what's up with that boy? the vikings thought, but continued watching when the next scene appeared on the screen.
