HICCUP (V.O.)
One day I'll get out there. Because
killing a dragon is everything
around here.
The dragons look at the screen in interest. Hiccup looks down in shame I never! Want to kill a dragon in my life ever again.
EXT. VILLAGE - LOWER PLAINS - CONTINUOUS
[Nadders land, gathering like seagulls around a seemingly
vacant house.]
HICCUP (V.O.)
A Nadder head is sure to get me at
least noticed.
The Nadder's heads look up in pride but soon huff and lay back down as the statement finished.
[The Nadders clamber onto the building, tearing the roof and
walls apart. Sheep pour out and SCATTER.
Elsewhere, hippo-like Gronckles pick drying racks clean of
fish and fly off like loaded pelicans.]
HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Gronckles are tough. Taking down
one of those would definitely get
me a girlfriend.
Gronckles look up a girlfriend is a mate right? Hope nods stating that a girlfriend is a mate.
[A stealthy, snake-like dragon head peeks over a rooftop,
breathing gas into a chimney.]
HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
A Zippelback? Exotic, exciting. Two
heads, twice the status.
The Zippelbacks look proud. One Zippelback shot fire at the barrier earning cheers from the twins. "We won't one!".
[A second head pokes through the door and lights it. KABLAM!
The two heads fly through the explosion, their necks zipping
together to reveal a single body.
It flies past Stoick as he climbs to the top of a CATAPULT
TOWER.]
CATAPULT OPERATOR
They found the sheep!
STOICK
(FRUSTRATED)
Concentrate fire over the lower
bank!
CATAPULT OPERATOR
Fire!
[Boulders are catapulted at the corralling Nadders...
Just as a huge red dragon whips past, spraying the base of
the catapult with sticky fire.]
HICCUP (V.O.)
And then there's the Monstrous
Nightmare. Only the best Vikings go
after those. They have this nasty
habit of setting themselves on
fire.
The Nightmares look up in pride. That's right we're the best!
Snotlout smiles I'm the best! I'm going to kill a Nightmare!
[It emerges from the flames, climbing the catapult with a
leering, toothy grin.]
STOICK
Reload! I'll take care of this.
[Stoick takes on the Nightmare, face to hammer.
Suddenly, a LOUD BALLISTIC MOANING streaks overhead. The
catapult crew ducks.]
INT. BLACKSMITH STALL - CONTINUOUS
[ON HICCUP, looking up from his work, reacting to the same
sound.]
Toothless looks proud and shoots Hiccup a gummy smile.
HICCUP (V.O.)
But the ultimate prize is the
dragon no one has ever seen. We
call it the-
VIKING
Night Fury! Get down!
Toothless smiles once again satisfied with the fear. Hiccup smiles weakly.
[Vikings everywhere take shelter. The moaning sound BUILDS.]
EXT. VILLAGE - CATAPULT - CONTINUOUS
[The Monstrous Nightmare suddenly stops fighting and takes
flight. Stoick looks skyward.]
STOICK
JUMP!
[KABOOM! The Catapult EXPLODES as though hit by an artillery
shell... sending Stoick and the crew leaping for their lives.]
"Awesome!" the twins coursed and they punched their fists into the air.
HICCUP (V.O.)
This thing never steals food, never
shows itself, and...
[The sound recedes, leaving the crippled catapult in flames.]
HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
...never misses.
Toothless looked up and smiled contentedly at Hiccup thanking him for the comment.
(BEAT)
No one has ever killed a Night
Fury. That's why I'm going to be
the first.
[IN THE STALL
Gobber trades his hammer for an axe.]
GOBBER
Man the fort, Hiccup, they need me
out there!
"Seriously Gobber?" Stoick looks at Gobber accusingly. Gobber looked sheepish.
[Gobber pauses. Turns with a threatening glare.]
GOBBER (CONT'D)
Stay. Put. There. You know what I
mean.
"Sorry Gobber I don't know what you mean" and smiles innocently at his mentor.
Gobber shakes his head mockingly at the boy.
[Gobber charges into the fray, HOLLERING.
ON HICCUP, a smirk crosses his face.]
EXT. VILLAGE - MOMENTS LATER
[WHAM! Hiccup pushes his wheeled contraption through a wall of
clustered Vikings. He weaves through the ongoing mayhem, as
fast as his legs can carry him.]
Stoick glares at Gobber.
Hiccup looks down in shame I'm so sorry Toothless, so sorry…
Toothless warbles at Hiccup catching his attention. "I've already forgiven you, you silly human!"
Hiccup runs over to the dragon and goes to sit by him when Hope comes over and drags the dragon over the where Astrid was currently sitting, Where Astrid and Hiccup snuggle into the dragons warm scales.
Sorry this chapter is shorter than usual I just wanted to end on that note so I could add more in tomorrow's chapter (or today if I feel like it). Any way till tomorrow…
-Hope signing off!
