EXT. DRAGON ISLAND - DAY
[CLOSE ON
Tree trunks, being sharpened and planted into the sand at
angled rows.]
Snotlout gulped.
[Boulders being loaded into catapult baskets.
And a war plan being scratched in the sand.
STOICK looms over it, looking determined. His generals are
at his sides.]
STOICK
When we crack this mountain open,
all hell is going to break loose.
"Yea 'hell' that's one way to put it" Gobber rolls his eyes.
GOBBER
In my undies. Good thing I brought
extras.
The teens pulled disgusted faces and Hiccup dramatically gagged.
[Stoick TURNS to face the men.]
STOICK
No matter how this ends, it ends
today.
"ya!" an anonymous voice rang out across the room. A massive black rose emerged from the ground near Hope stopping the movie and gaining the looks of the whole room. The black rose opened up and sitting on the pollen chair was an ankle length golden blond haired black clothed girl.
"HELLO!" the girl smiled widely waving vigorously at Hope.
''IM VICTORYHEART!" the girl said with an extremely loud voice, "AND WHO MIGHT YOU BE!?" Hope looks at Victoryheart with a puzzled look.
"Um I'm Hope…..?" Victoryheart looks at Hope with an evil grin and two black wings appear behind her as she flew towards Hope.
"I HAVE NOT MET A HUMAN BEFORE!" "Inside voice…." Hope shook her head shamefully.
"ILL HAVE YOU KNOW THIS IS MY INSIDE VOICE".
A wide smile appeared on Hope's face "I HAVE NEVER MET A DEMON BEFORE!" Hope smiled devilishly. Many vikings near the duo shrank back in fear of the devilish girl and their 'host'.
"HELLO THERE PEOPLE OF EARTH!", "YOU CAN ALL CALL ME VICKY AND I WILL STALK YOU ALL U TIL YOU WAKE UP AND FALL ASLEEP!".
Hope face-palmed "THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE!" Hope sighed and pulled in a deep breath "don't you mean 'I will stalk you till you die?!' 'cause that makes more sense" Victoryheart realising this smiled sort of normally at Hope thanking her before yelling again.
"THAT DOES MAKE SENSE!" "BUT ONE QUESTION SINCE WHEN DO I MAKE SENSE!?" Hope thinks back "That is true…." "EXACTLY!"
The vikings backed away slowly trying to avoid eye contact with the crazy demon shouty girl. "FRIENDS NOO COME BACK! I LOVE YOU ALL DON'T LEAVE MEH!" The vikings continued slowly walking back as Victoryheart called out to them.
Hope once again face-palmed "guys this is Victoryheart she is an amazing friend of mine, and you can stop backing away she can't hurt you while I'm here (death glares at Victory) and she won't even try!".
The vikings stopped and stared at Hope waiting for the explanation of why she bought a demon here.
Hope sighed and started explaining "Victory wasn't always demon. She won't hurt me because before she turned, half-turned we were friends, good friend in fact" Vicky nodded in agreement.
"No one actually knows how she became demon in the first place, but she's still a friend and I will not under any circumstances leave her" Hope smiled at the vikings and Vicky.
Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and the dragons happy with this explanation simply shrugged at each other and sat down in their regular seats. Others trusting the teens followed their lead eyeing Vicky nervously went to sit down.
Hope smiled at Vicky and both ran to hug each other. "Nice entrance you scared them real good!". Vicky smiled at the compliment. "but seriously inside voice, whisper, ok?" Vicky nodded mumbling a yup and both girls went to sit down.
Hiccup rolled his eyes at the duo's antics.
[He walks toward the base of the volcano wall, back by several
hundred warriors. He raises his arm and drops it.]
Hiccup sighs. "And back to the sullen mood" the teens stare at Vicky weirdly but Hope just rolled her eyes.
"How would you know that?" Snotlout spoke up. Hope and Vicky rolled their eyes in Unison. Wasn't it obvious, and for extra affect Vicky smiled deviously.
[A line of catapults UNLEASH their two-ton loads into the
cliff wall. It cracks and flakes away.
Several more hits tear away at the hollow shell of hardened
lava.]
[A final boulder shatters the fractured wall, creating a deep,
dark opening to the cavern within.]
[Silence. Stock raises his hand, makes a gesture. A flaming
bushel is launched into the dark, lighting the wall... CHOKED]
[WITH DRAGONS.
Stoick pulls his hammer and rushes into the cave, brazen.]
Most Vikings gasped in awe with Fishlegs voicing the thoughts of everyone "wow".
STOICK (CONT'D)
(War cries and slashing efforts)
[In a chaotic flurry, the dragons suddenly rush out like bats
from a cave. The take to the air, bypassing the axe-swinging
Vikings and fleeing the island in a mass exodus.
The battle-ready Vikings drop their weapons, confused.]
The teens nodded their heads agreeing with the dragons actions. They would do that to if a crazy dragon thing was controlling them to.
GOBBER
Is that it?
[Above the island, dragons POUR from every crevice, fleeing to
the sky. The sound of screeching dragons fades.]
VIKINGS
(Cheering as one)
SPITELOUT
We've done it!
Spitelout face-palmed. Nope.
[Stoick doesn't celebrate. Something is not right. He HEARS
something. Stoick turns to peer down the dark throat of the
cavern.]
[A deep, rumbling ROAR echoes from the cavern. The ground
underfoot TREMBLES. The ships rock. Their sails fill with a
blast of air.]
[The cheering stops. Stoick's expression sinks.]
STOICK
This isn't over. Form your ranks!
Hold together!
This time Hiccup and Fishlegs face-palmed. How was that suppose to help?
[The men SCRAMBLE to organize themselves.]
STOICK (CONT'D)
Get clear!
[The ground CRACKS. Stone tears away, cascading like an
avalanche. And through the settling debris, the silhouette of
a gargantuan dragon emerges - THE RED DEATH. Stirred and
furious.]
GOBBER
Beard of Thor...what is that?
"The Red Death" pipped up an idiot in the crowd. {No offence to those people who I have possibly offended :)}
STOICK
(AGHAST)
Odin help us.
(BEAT)
Catapults!
[The Vikings score direct hits. The burning stones BOUNCE off
the dragon's skin. The Red Death focuses on the catapults.
It crushes the first one - smashing it and its crew, rattling
the beach underfoot.]
[Stoick races toward the second catapult. He LEAPS and pushes
a Viking out of the way just before the dragon crushes him
under his forepaw.
The Vikings scramble in all directions.]
The twins stare in awe. If the dragon wasn't trying to kill them it would be their pet.
The teens paled obviously realising what the twins where thinking. Vicky nodded her head agreeing with the twins smiling deviously until Hope not-so-gently hit her on the arm.
VIKING #3
Get to the ships!
STOICK
No! NO!
[The Red Death BLASTS the ships like a mile-long flamethrower.
The sails are torched. Vikings dive overboard and masts come
down.
Gobber Joins Stoick.]
GOBBER
Heh. Smart, that one.
"Awesome" the twins sighed in awe accidently voicing their thoughts aloud. Vicky was warming up to the twins. They were defiantly her type. If only she could get Hope to agree, or even better over to their side.
[Stoick looks up and down the beach for an answer.]
STOICK
(GUILT-RIDDEN)
I was a fool.
Stoick sadly nodded.
[The monster raises its head to the sky and BELLOWS. The
sound SHAKES the beach, knocking Vikings off their feet.
This island is his.
Stoick stops a Viking General.]
STOICK (CONT'D)
Lead the men to the far side of the
island.
SPITELOUT
Right.
(turns to the others)
Everybody to the far side of the
island!
Stoick sighs miserably.
[The Vikings scatter into the rocks like ants. Satisfied with
the ships destruction, The Red Death turns its attention back
to the Vikings. They seem to have vanished. It SNIFFS the
air, searching for their scent.]
[Gobber drops in beside Stoick, like two soldiers in a trench.
Fire blasts over head, causing them to duck.]
STOICK
Gobber, go with the men.
GOBBER
I think I'll stay, just in case
you're thinking of doing something
crazy.
[Stoick grabs him.]
STOICK
(EMPHATIC)
I can buy them a few minutes if I
give that thing someone to hunt.
[Gobber removes Stoick's hand. Clenches his forearm,
determined.]
GOBBER
Then I can double that time.
Hope half-heartedly smiled "friends till the bitter end". Stoick and Gobber both smiled at each other and to Hope, also half-heartedly.
[Stoick grins. Friends to the bitter end. They BREAK COVER and
dash into the open, SPLITTING UP. Stoick rips a sharpened
post from the ground and hurls it into the monster's face.]
STOICK
HERE!
GOBBER
NO, HERE!
[It spots both of them. He fuels up to fire, glancing back and
forth between the two men. He focuses on Stoick.]
GOBBER (CONT'D)
Come on! Fight me!
STOICK
No, me!
[The Red Death remains focused on Stoick - this is it. It
rears back and inhales. Gas begins to amass, when...
KABLAM! A BLAST explodes against the back of The Red Death's
head. It turns distracted, as...]
[... a Nadder punches through the flames, banking across the
sky. Followed by a Monstrous Nightmare, a Zippleback, and a
Gronckle. They roll in unison, revealing the recruits riding
on their backs. Hiccup leads, with Astrid clinging to his
waist.]
The teens cheered except Hiccup who was in deep thought about the stone. Astrid nudged Hiccup making his smile. Astrid realising the look of his face hugged him before looking back a the screen tensely along with many others including dragons who were worried for the Vikings.
[GOBBER AND STOICK, watch slack-jawed, in awe.]
HICCUP
Ruff, Tuff, watch your backs! Move
Fishlegs!
[The monster shakes off the blast and snaps in their wake.
Hiccup directs his squadron out of harm's way. They climb out
of reach and circle each other.]
TUFFNUT
Look at us, we're on a dragon!
We're on dragons, all of us!
Hope smiled sadly thinking of an old memory. Ruffnut shook her heads at the antics of her brother, but also smiled widely thinking of how fun it would be.
HICCUP
Up, let's move it!
[The dragons climb past the Red Death.]
[ON THE GROUND
Gobber hobbles over to Stoick.]
GOBBER
Every bit the boar-headed, stubborn
Viking you ever were.
Stoick is speechless.
Hiccup and Stoick share a smile.
Toothless even though trusted his rider couldn't get the sick feeling out of his stomach.
[IN THE AIR
The group circles over the dragon's head.]
HICCUP
Fishlegs, break it down.
FISHLEGS
Okay. Heavily armored skull and
tail made for bashing and crushing.
FISHLEGS (CONT'D)
Steer clear of both. Small eyes,
large nostrils. Relies on hearing
and smell.
"Really?! It has like six eyes!" Snotlout looked to Fishlegs for answers who merely nodded.
HICCUP
Okay. Lout, Legs, hang in its blind
spot. Make some noise, keep it
confused. Ruff, Tuff, find out if
it has a shot limit. Make it mad.
RUFFNUT
That's my specialty.
TUFFNUT
Since when? Everyone knows I'm
more irritating. See.
(IRRITATING SOUNDS)
Vicky smiled "if you'd work together you'd be even more annoying together than apart" Hope shook her head while other paled thinking of what they'd do while the twins were both in deep thought.
HICCUP
(EXASPERATED)
Just do what I told you. I'll be
back as soon as I can.
TUFFNUT
Don't worry, we got it covered!
Astrid rolled her eyes "that's a first".
FISHLEGS
Yeah!
[Hiccup and Astrid peel away. The teens bank and dive toward
the monster, splitting up. The Twins race alongside the
monster's head, taunting it.]
TUFFNUT
Troll!
RUFFNUT
Butt Elf!
TUFFNUT
Bride of Grendel!
Hope and Vicky looked at each other confusedly.
[The Red Death unloads a spray of fire at the twins. They
barely dodge it.]
[Fishlegs and Snotlout hang behind its eyes, banging away at
their shields, making a racket.
The Red Death opens all SIX of its eyes, spotting them.]
FISHLEGS
Uh, this thing doesn't have a blind
spot.
"well nuh!"
[ON HICCUP AND ASTRID
... searching for Toothless. Hiccup spots him among the
burning ships.]
HICCUP
There!
Toothless whimped.
[He steers the Nadder over the deck and hands Astrid the
reins. He lines up his jump... and hops off, guarding his
face from the flames. He lands on the burning deck.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
(TO ASTRID)
Go help the others!
[She and the Nadder take off.
As Hiccup fights his way to Toothless. He unbuckles the
muzzle. Toothless shrieks.]
Astrid sighed.
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Okay, hold on. Hold on.
[He gets to work on the chains.]
[ON SNOTLOUT AND FISHLEGS
They clang their weapons against their shields, making the
monster wince.]
SNOTLOUT
It's working.
[The huge beast starts to sway its head dizzily.]
FISHLEGS
Yeah! It's working.
[PAN DOWN to reveal that the noise is also confusing the
Gronckle and the Monstrous Nightmare. Both dragons lose their
bearings.]
The teens looked to Hiccup. "What?... it's the future for Thor's sake!"
[The Red Death thrashes, knocking Snotlout off of his dragon
and onto the monster's gigantic head. Snotlout bounces across
the top and comes to a stop just shy of the hundred foot
drop.]
SNOTLOUT
Agghh!
[Fishlegs' Gronckle goes down in a spin of confusion.]
FISHLEGS
I've lost power on the Gronckle.
Snotlout! Do something!
[He hurls Snotlout his hammer. The Gronkle crashes and skids
to a stop...]
FISHLEGS (CONT'D)
I'm okay!
[... then flips over, crushing Fishlegs.]
FISHLEGS (CONT'D)
(FEEBLE)
Less okay.
Chuckles echo across the room.
[BACK TO SNOTLOUT
... who eyes the Red Death's gigantic, veiny eyes. He raises
the hammer...]
SNOTLOUT
I can't miss!
[... and hammers the monster's eyes, playing whack-a-mole.]
"Whack-a-mole" screeched Vicky smiling insanely. Almost grabbing a bat but seeing Hope's death glare stopped mid-action and sat back down.
Many Vikings were staring at Vicky strangely.
SNOTLOUT (CONT'D)
What's wrong buddy, got something
in your eye?
Astrid smiled ghostly. "that's almost funny" seeing Snotlout's look quickly fixed her sentence "almost!"
[Astrid flies by on her Nadder, catching Snotlout in all his
heroics.]
ASTRID
Yeah! You're the Viking!
Astrid instantly face-palmed.
[Snotlout grins, finally vindicated in her eyes. In his
distraction, he gets thrown and lands heavily on one of the
Red Death's spines - clinging precariously. A close call.]
SNOTLOUT
Whoa!
[ON THE GROUND
The monster's tail sweeps across the burning ships, snapping
masts like twigs. We follow one down as it crashes onto a
deck, revealing...]
[HICCUP
Working at the chains. He can't budge them. Fire licks at his
clothes. He looks up to see...]
Toothless coos sadly at his rider. Worried for his safety.
[THE RED DEATH blasting at the teens, enraged.
The monster's giant foot crashes through frame, smashing the
bow under its impressive weight.
Hiccup and Toothless are thrown into the water in a maelstrom
of burning planks and rigging.]
Stoick pales and sighs sadly.
[UNDERWATER
Hiccup swims toward Toothless. They're both caught in a mess
of rigging, being dragged down. The heavy palette settles
into the rocky bottom like an anchor. Toothless has stopped
struggling. Hiccup takes one more hopeless tug at the chains -
he's almost out of air.]
Astrid on instinct looked over to Hiccup reassuring herself that he was still there.
[Suddenly, a meaty hand grabs Hiccup.
STOICK explodes to the surface, pulling Hiccup to the
shoreline through flaming debris. He lays him down, under the
shelter of an overhanging rock.]
HICCUP
(OVERWHELMED)
Dad...
Stoick smiled ghost like at Hiccup who returned the smile.
[Stoick dives back into the water between flaming flotsam.]
[UNDERWATER
ON TOOTHLESS, drowning. Stoick appears in front of him.
Toothless freezes. Stoick tears the chains off of the yoke
and lets it float free.]
[Momentary stillness. They eye each other, through the churned
up bubbles. Toothless lunges out of the bars - grabbing
Stoick.]
Stoick and Toothless share looks, while Hiccup chuckles softly hugging the dragon.
[BOOM! In an explosion of sea water, Toothless lands on the
shore, setting Stoick down and releasing him. Hiccup is awed.
The ground rumbles underfoot. The monster screeches. Its
massive claws stomp around in the smoke.
Stoick gives way as Toothless mounts the rock and raises his
wings. He turns to Hiccup and SNORTS - ‘Let's go.']
HICCUP (CONT'D)
You got it, bud.
[Hiccup climbs onto Toothless and buckles himself in.
Stoick grabs his arm.]
STOICK
Hiccup. I'm sorry...for
everything.
Snotlout threw his hands up in exaggeration. "Finally!"
HICCUP
Yeah...me too.
STOICK
You don't have to go up there.
HICCUP
We're Vikings. It's an occupational
hazard.
[They exchange smiles.]
STOICK
I'm proud to call you my son.
Hiccup smiled widely hugging Astrid before stopping and blushing. Astrid seeing a faint blush on his face even though it was dark returned the hug making it less awkward.
[Hiccup beams, taken aback.]
HICCUP
Thanks dad.
[Stoick lets go of Hiccup's arm.
Hiccup spurs Toothless on, charged with his father's belief
in him. They rocket into the sky as Stoick watches.]
[IN THE AIR
Astrid sees Toothless streaking through the sky, gaining
altitude.]
ASTRID
He's up!
[She turns to Ruffnut and Tuffnut, who are ARGUING and
THROWING PUNCHES at each other.]
The teens face-palmed along with many others.
ASTRID (CONT'D)
Get Snotlout out of there!
[IN MID-PUNCH, the twins look over to see Snotlout stranded on
the monster's head. They eye each other.]
TUFFNUT RUFFNUT
I'm on it! I'm on it!
TUFFNUT
I'm on it first! I'm ahead of you.
[The twins spot Snotlout on the giant dragon and steer their
Zippleback in his direction.]
RUFFNUT
Hey! Let me drive!
[The twins peel off, ARGUING as they race each other to the
monster.
[Snotlout sees the Zippleback diving toward him and DASHES
down the Red Death's head. He runs up the end of its horn...
As the twins sweep past, both missing him... but perfectly
snatching him where the necks merge. Ruff and Tuff eye each
other, surprised and impressed.]
TUFFNUT
I can't believe that worked.
Snotlout sighed in relief "neither can I"
[The Red Death spots Astrid and INHALES, preparing to blast.
She and her Nadder get caught in the suction, pulled toward
the monster's gaping mouth.]
Astrid along with her parents and Stormfly paled.
[ON THE GROUND
The Vikings watch with dread. They hear the familiar whir of
the...]
GOBBER
Night Fury! Get down!
Gobber mocking glared at Hiccup who returned the gesture with a goofy smile.
Toothless gummy smiled at Gobber.
[IN THE AIR
A massive BLAST jolts the Red Death's head sideways. Astrid
is thrown clear of its mouth... AND her Nadder. She tumbles
through the air. The ground races toward her, when...
She's suddenly CAUGHT by the leg. She looks up to see
Toothless and smiled broadly at him.]
HICCUP
Did you get her?
[Toothless smiled at Astrid in return.]
[ON THE GROUND
They fly over the crowd of Vikings and set Astrid down, mid-
run. They circle back to reengage - a black speck against the
clouds.]
ASTRID
(BREATHLESS)
Go.
[IN THE AIR
Hiccup and Toothless rocket past the Red Death's head and
climb, higher and higher.]
HICCUP
(TO TOOTHLESS)
That thing has wings! Okay, let's
see if it can use them!
[Hiccup pulls Toothless into a turn. They plummet, gaining
tremendous speed. The wind buffets them as they target the
Red Death as super sonic speed.
KABLAM! Toothless unloads a fireball against the Red Death's
head. It goes down with a rumble as they climb anew.]
"wow" the twins and Vicky gasped in awe.
[ON THE GROUND
The Vikings shield themselves from the dust of the fallen
monster... as its wings unfold and extend.]
"totally not creepy"
[IN THE AIR
Hiccup looks back as they put distance between them.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Do you think that did it?
Snotlout rolled his eyes.
[Suddenly, the enraged behemoth RISES into frame... flapping
its wings furiously. A daunting sight.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Well, he can fly.
[Hiccup and Toothless DIVE into the tangled sea stacks - they
weave through the rock like rabbits through a briar. The Red
Death SNAPS at them, but cannot reach them. Hiccup and
Toothless PULL AHEAD.]
[The Red Death SMASHES through the canopy of rock and pulls in
behind Toothless. He BURSTS THROUGH fifty-foot formations
like they were saplings.]
Vicky stared pleadingly at Hope who shook her head and simply turned her head ignoring the girl and went back to the movie. Vicky seeing Hope ignore her huffed and looked towards the screen.
ON THE GROUND
[Stoick, Gobber, and the Teens watch as Hiccup and Toothless
streak past, weaving through sea stacks.]
TEENS
Woohoo! Yeah!
[A moment later the Red Death SMASHES the sea stacks to dust
in hot pursuit. The Vikings mood is quenched.]
IN THE AIR
[Hiccup and Toothless can't slow the monster down. Hiccup eyes
the clouds above. An idea hits him. He locks eyes with
Toothless.]
"You got an idea?" Fishlegs looked to his friend who nodded "Yup".
HICCUP
Okay Toothless, time to disappear.
"Huh?" Tuffnut looked confused for a second before realizing what he meant.
[Toothless PULLS into a steep climb, heading toward the
clouds.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Come on bud!
[The Red Death follows, closing in fast.]
Stoick paled fearing for his son.
HICCUP (CONT'D)
(hearing the gas)
Here it comes!
[BLAST! They narrowly dodge a column of flame and smoke. They
reach the low-hanging clouds and pierce them. The monster
follows, immediately losing them in the hampered visibility.
It roars irritably.]
The room grew so tense that it could possibly be cut with a knife. A pin drop could be heard in the room. For affect Vicky grabbed a pin from her pocket and dropped it on the ground hearing the ring extremely clear. Hope once again rolled her eyes at her friend's antics. The Vikings so set on the movie didn't even notice the ring to the pin at it hit the floor.
[From out of nowhere, Toothless DIVES at the huge dragon,
BLASTING and PUNCTURING a hole in its wing. Toothless and
Hiccup are gone again before the dragon can get a shot at
them.]
"If you're doing what think you're doing it's really stupid" Hiccup shrugged.
[ON THE GROUND
The Vikings stare up at the sky listening to the resounding
BOOMS and watching FLASHES light up the clouds.
Gobber places a hand on Stoick's shoulder.]
In the theatre Gobber complied with the same action as on-screen, placing a hand on Stoick's shoulder.
[IN THE AIR
HICCUP and TOOTHLESS dive in again and again, using the
clouds to hide and surprise as they puncture the monster's
wings.]
[It BELLOWS in frustration and WHIRLS around, unleashing fire
blindly, in all directions.
Hiccup sees the glow of fire cutting towards them.]
Astrid eyed Hiccup worriedly.
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Watch out!
[The random blast CLIPS Toothless' tail. It's heavily damaged.]
"Many Vikings and dragons gasped realising what was happening.
Toothless crooned only worried for his rider as he knew the boy wasn't fireproof.
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Okay, time's up. Let's see if this
works.
[He pulls Toothless into a turn. They fly directly into the
Red Death's face, taunting it.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Come on! Is that the best you can
do!?
[Toothless utters an insult too, and they jackknife into a
steep dive. The Red Death pursues.]
"Did Toothless say an insult to?" Ruffnut tensely nodded her head answering her twins question.
[Toothless PUMPS his wings, racing faster than he's ever gone
before. Hiccup and Toothless stay just ahead of the Red Death
- no longer trying to evade it.
Hiccup glances back to check the tail - it's disintegrating.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Stay with me buddy. We're good.
Just a little bit longer.
[The Red Death closes the gap. Hiccup tucks in and holds
Toothless steady - allowing the monster to set its sights on
them. It narrows its eyes.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Hold, Toothless.
[The Red Death OPENS his mouth. The familiar gas HISS emanates
from his throat - ignition is coming.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
NOW!
[Hiccup HITS the PEDALS HARD as Toothless extends one wing.
They PIVOT in place, hurtling directly into the Red Death's
mouth.]
"OOHHHH" gasped Fishlegs realising what Hiccup thought.
[Toothless FIRES point blank down the monster's throat. Its
amassing gas is ignited, BACKFIRING into the monster,
erupting in a chain of blasts throughout its body.
Hiccup and Toothless BURST from the clouds, the Red Death hot
on their tail, exploding from within. It glances forward and
sees the ground rushing up. It throws open its wings,
attempting to put on the brakes, but the punctured, damaged
wings can't stop its momentum.]
"no" the teens along with Stoick, Gobber and dragons mutter.
[As the Red Death chokes on the expanding fireball, he sees
Toothless suddenly pull out of the dive, streaking up, past
its head.]
[The Red Death HITS the ground, head-first. It EXPLODES like
the Hindenburg.]
[Hiccup and Toothless weave through the monster's massive back
plates, wings, and flailing legs - a high-speed recall of
the FREE FALL slalom run. The expanding fireball races toward
them, about to swallow them.
They manage to clear the obstacles. Hiccup glances back.
They're outrunning the fireball.
He looks forward just in time to see the monster's massive
club tail careening toward them.
He tries to shift their direction. The last shreds of
Toothless' tail tear away. Hiccup's pedals go DEAD.]
HICCUP (CONT'D)
No. No.
Stoick, Gobber and the teens look chalk white. Astrid terrified hang onto Hiccup like her life depended on it.
[Hiccup and Toothless can't maneuver - they're dead in the
air. The giant club tail CLIPS Toothless, TEARING Hiccup from
the harness and sending him tumbling against the backdrop of
the fast-approaching fireball.
Toothless STRUGGLES with all his might to reach the
unconscious Hiccup. But the fireball swallows them both.]
[ON THE GROUND
The Vikings watch in horror as Hiccup and Toothless disappear
into the boiling inferno.]
Everyone was incredibly tense. That couldn't be the end. Could it?
Chapter 17 complete! I'm so sorry it took so long but as I said I had things going on and such. Did you like Victoryheart? I'd like to thank my friend for her help hence Victoryheart. And I have another option for Hiccup and the stone 1. Hiccup hybrid 2. Hiccup human 3. Hiccup human with me writing an AU where Hiccup is a hybrid, half-dragon whatever you'd like to call Hiccup. Personally I like option 3 (thanks for the people who suggested that). Any way till next time…
-Hope logging off.
