Disclaimer: I don't own how to train your dragon
Everyone shook there heads. This boy is insane
STOICK, glowering in the firelight. Surrounded by his men. STOICK "Either we finish them or they'll finish us! It's the only way we'll be rid of them! If we find the nest and destroy it, the dragons will leave. They'll find another home"
The dragons shook there heads. If only it was that easy to stop and leave
Viggo was curiously thinking 'why are the dragons attacking the village? And they can clearly destroy it, so why aren't they? Why do they steal the sheep? Why-'
'dude! Stop thinking before your mind explodes and just wait and see what happens.' Param told-well thought to-him
Viggo was startled and started looking around
Param face palmed and muttered "for the love of….."
'attention every living creature in hear. This is to tell you that I can read and reply to peoples thoughts with my own, and I'm telling you this cus I'm tired of explaining this individually everytime I talk to someone through there thoughts so now you know. Also don't bother replying just continue watching, I am pretty sure this is not the weirdest thing ya'll have seen today ' he thought
Everyone was first startled then shocked but didn't say like they were told to. Well everyone except one…
"just, who are YOU" asked hiccup curiously
"well thanks for asking WHO and not WHAT like most people. As for your question I'm not allowed to answer. Not yet" said param while smiling
Hiccup nodded in acknowledgement and continued watching
He sinks his blade into a LARGE NAUTICAL MAP, spread out on the table the blade pierces the middle of an uncharted corner, swirling with painted sea monsters and dragons.
STOICK (CONT'D) (decidedly) "One more search. Before the ice sets in."
VIKING "Those ships never come back."
STOICK (matter-of-fact) "We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard. Now who's with me?"
Stoick throws up his fist. No one follows. The crowds shifts in restless silence. Head scratches. Eyes averted.
VIKING (feeble) "Today's not good for me."
VIKING (CONT'D) (equally feeble) "I've gotta do my axe returns."
"I wonder how he'll motivate then" grumbled a whispering death
"ummm.. aren't you guys always ready for the search. Like 24/7" asked a confuse ruffnut
The berkians uncomfortably shift in their seats knowing what happens next. Gobber hid his face in his hands not wanting to face hiccup. Some berkians weren't that worried. Surly it won't be that BAD….RIGHT?
"hiccup you might wanna prepare your self for this" param said worried for hiccup
He looks towards param and raised an eyebrow "for what"
Param was about to answer when the movie continued
STOICK "Alright. Those who stay will look after Hiccup."
Hiccup's head snapped towards to the screen so fast it probably hurt. Eye widened ears not believing what they heard
"…..that" param added dryly
The teens, non-berkians and dragon were similarly shocked at this
"surly it's a joke, right?" asked sharpshot
Hands jut into the air, volunteers galore. Enthusiastic murmurs of prep and packing fill the room.
PHLEGMA THE FIERCE "To the ships!"
SPITELOUT "I'm with you Stoick!"
STOICK (dry) "That's more like it."
Silence, no one dared utter a single word at what they saw
Valka was trying her hardest to get up from her seat 'STOICK THE VAST FUCKING HADDOCK, YOU DID NOT JUST USE MY SONS NAME LIKE THAT YOU HALF-TROLL,MUTTONHEAD…..' followed by equal level of praising
The silence was broken by dagur "well…. That was harsh" he said trying and failing to lift the mood
Ignoring him "how could you just use your son's name like that" exclaimed atali clearly pissed
"some Vikings you are being scared of looking after a kid" said rhyker
"I-its n-n-not that" said ingrind trying to cover up
"I-If something-g happened t-to hiccup the chief w-would have the head of the person looking a-a-after him" continued agnar
Astrid caught something "mom…dad…since when did you two stutter " she asked baffled,shocked,angery,saddened all at once
They both look on the ground and don't answer
"you guys are very mean" said barf "very very mean" added belch
"shut up demons" said spiteloud
"you call us demons, yet the way you treat that hatchling is more demonic then anything else" said toothless angrily
Stoick was about to snap at the dragons when they heard param
"hiccup" all heads turn their direction
Param snapping his fingers in front of hiccup, followed by clapping and then shaking him while calling his name. he just sat there not blinking or moving
Everyone got worried for him. Astrid was about to speak when he closed his eyes and chuckled
Param froze at this along with everyone else
Hiccup slowly started laughing like a maniack
Param backed up a bit "I think ya'll broke him" he said to the berkians
Hiccup stopped and said bitterly "like I get I'm useless, weak and scrawny but I didn't think I was hated THIS much"
Stoick frowned "hiccup that's not-"
"How long" he whispered barely
"what"
"HOW FUCKING LONG!" he screamed causing param to jump and back away into the barrier "FOR HOW FUCKING LONG HAVE YOU BEEN USING MY FUCKING NAME TO SEND ODIN KNOWS HOW MANY FUCKING VIKINGS TO THEIR GODS DAMN FUCKING DEATH! HOW MANY FUCKING PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF MY FUCKING NAME!" he shouts tear rolling down his eyes and body shaking like a leaf in a thunder storm
Everyone is shocked at the sudden out burst
"WELL!" he asks impatiently
Stoick knows its no use hiding and replys "since the last 5 years" he paused "I originally said it in a council meating as a joke but seeing the response I thought….." he trails of
"good to know I was useful somehow" hiccup said bitterly before curling in a ball started crying not caring of all the people-and dragons- watching. He was devastated
Astrid is heartbroken at this and wants to do something. She glances at her parents who nod. She gets up and making her way towards hiccup and stops outside the barrier
Param notices her and instantly lets her enter knowing hiccup needs her
She kneels infront of him and puts her arms around him to pull him in a hug. He stiffened at first but relaxed at seeing her. "astrid?" he chocked out hugging her back
"shhh.. its alright…let it out I'm here for you" she whispers in his ear holding him tightly stroking his back
Hiccup glances at everyone staring at them
"oh give them some privacy" param scoffed then snapped his fingers to make the barrier not see-through and block any noise. He turns To hiccup and astrid "once you've calmed down think and I'll be here" he said and disappeared
With this hiccup buries his head in astrid shoulder crying hard. She holds him tightly, strokes his back and hair and even kisses him on his cheeck a few times. He calms down after a bit and flushing from all the affection.
She backs up to look at him "you look like a tomato" she said while giggling
Hiccup chuckles nervously "well…" he rubs the back of his neck "it's not everyday I'm shown this much affection. Specially not from you " he added nervously
She sighed and leans her forehead on his and sit in silence before hiccup asks
"sooo….not that I'm complaining but…. Why…? " He asks rubbing the back of his neck again
"well…." She sighs again and looks down "I realised that I wasn't a good friend like I used to be" she pauses "like WE used to be….best friends….inseparable…. and then…. I ruined it "
Hiccup was listening carefully. She continued "I wanted to be the best warrior on berk…to restore my family honour…. I got obsessed with training and…. Neglected my feelings….. neglected my friend…. I'm sorry hiccup" she finished tearing up at the end
Hiccup was shocked at the confession but quickly hug her when he saw tears in her eyes "it's ok astrid….. I understand your position….. you may have made mistake but you are now trying to fix it. We can forget the past and become friends again" said while rubbing her back
She backs away to look at him. Looking into his eyes "so can you forgive me" she asked
"I already did. When you agreed to keep toothless a secret" he pauses "not that it matters anymore with this MOVIE and such" he added
She laughed then kissed him on the cheeck "you feeling good now"
"well considering what I just saw ABSALOUTLY TERRIBLE" he exclaims looking up and looks back at her and continues "considering I got my best friend back… top of the world" he smiled at HER as she returned it. They both hug and stay in place before they hear sniffing. They look towards the direction and realise that 1 out of the 4 sides of the barrier was still see through and toothless and some other dragons were watching and sniffing
"sorry to ruin the moment" said toothless
"no worrys… toothless right" said astrid as she back away from the embrace
"yep" he said and then added "its good to see your friendship with hiccup started again but be warned if you hurt him again then I'll kill you myself" toothless said protectively
"please do, if I'm stupid enough to repeat my mistake" she said smiling
"good" said toothless "you mind sitting with him just incase e….you know"
"l was planning that either way" she looks at hiccup "if you don't mind"
"not one bit" he said
She sat next to him and held his right hand in her left
he thought 'param I'm okay now'
param appeared "you guys go-" he stopped as he saw their hands together "huh guess that went well"
"it did" they replied before hiccup asked "I was wondering if-"
"toothless can sit with you guys" he finished "I plan for it but not yet. You see even I have a boss and he told me to not do certain things before certain things so just wait a bit"
Astrid, hiccup and toothless were a bit confused but nodded
Param snaps his fingers and the barrier turned normal
"well with that I guess we can continue watching right?" asked param
they both nodded. Everyone wanted to know what happened but seeing astrid and hiccup holding hands they guessed what happened. Their parents smiled
The Vikings rush for the door, leaving Gobber and Stoick alone. Gobber gulps back the contents of his tankard attachment and scrapes back the bench.
GOBBER "I'll pack my undies"
"TMI GOBBER! TMI!" param shouted still sitting beside astrid and hiccup
"No, I need you to stay and train some new recruits.'
GOBBER "Oh, perfect. And while I'm busy, Hiccup can cover the stall. Molten steel, razor sharp blades, lots of time to himself...what could possibly go wrong?"
"him making a new a destruction weapon to destroy the village " said spiteloud
"him ruining all our weapons" said mildew
"him attempting suicide again" said param then realised he said it out loud
"him- WAIT WHAT!" said/screamed ingrind as everyone turned to look at hiccup -especially toothless,gobber,stoick and astrid- horrified
"…..oops" param said sheepishly while beside him hiccup was wideyed and tried hiding his left arm
Astrid catchs this, grabs his arm and pulls back his sleave to show a scar
"when…." She asked tears in her eyes
"a few years ago…. Outside the healers hut…..luckily gothi spotted me " he said while rolling his sleave up
Everyone was horrified but before anyone could say anything param said
"I know your all terrified at seeing this but the truth is that your actions have pushed him to do this" they(the berkians) lowered their heads in shame-execpt mildew ofcourse- "the further we go the more about hiccup we'll discover so if you guys want to not make that mistake again then don't overreact before watching the full story " they all nodded and went back to watching. Astrid still had tear in her eyes so hiccup kissed her forehead and side hugged her to calm her down
Stoick sinks onto the bench beside Gobber, his brow burdened.
STOICK "What am I going to do with him Gobber?"
GOBBER "Put him in training with the others."
STOICK "No, I'm serious."
GOBBER "So am I."
Stoick turns to him, glaring. STOICK "He'd be killed before you let the first dragon out of its cage."
"probably true seeing as how clumsy I'm" he said jokingly
Astrid punched his shoulder "don't agree to that"
"astrid lets face it. Theres no chance I can be a good viking"
At this param scowled "seriously don't get it yet do you"
"get what" he raised an eyebrow
Param turned to watch everyone equally confused. He sighs "what did I say we were watching?"
"the story of the greatest viking to ever exist" replied savage
"and whos life is the movie following right now" he asked again
"that little run…" drago trails off as realisation dawned on him and everyone else
They all opened their mouths to ask when param silenced them by snapping his fingers "all answers are in the movie so continue watching" he said. They all hesitantly look back at the screen
GOBBER "Oh, you don't know that."
STOICK "I do know that, actually."
GOBBER "No, you don't."
STOICK "No, actually I do."
GOBBER "No you don't!"
"real mature" muttered astrid causing a few chucks
STOICK "Listen! You know what he's like. From the time he could crawl he's been...different. He doesn't listen."
"I do listen…..I just don't follow " defended hiccup
STOICK (CONT'D) "Has the attention span of a sparrow. I take him fishing and he goes hunting for... for trolls."
Hiccup knows what will happen next and mimics gobber "trolls exist! They steal your socks. But only the left ones. What's with that?"
GOBBER (defensive) "Trolls exist! They steal your socks. (darkly) But only the left ones. What's with that?"
Everyone laughs at this
STOICK "When I was a boy..."
Hiccup still mimicking gobber "oh here we go."
GOBBER (grumbling) "Oh here we go."
Everyone laughs even harder
STOICK "My father told me to bang my head against a rock and I did it. I thought it was crazy, but I didn't question him. And you know what happened?"
"you got a headache" mimics hiccup
GOBBER "You got a headache."
"your really good at impressions runt" said savage laughing hard while stoick grumbled "I'm getting you out of blacksmithings"
STOICK "That rock split in two. It taught me what a Viking could do, Gobber. He could crush mountains, level forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew what I was, what I had to become." (beat) "Hiccup is not that boy."
Valka is getting more and more furious 'stoick I swear to god when I get my hands on you'
Hiccup frowned at the reminder that he is not what his father wants him to be. Astrid squeezed his hand to make him feel better
GOBBER "You can't stop him, Stoick. You can only prepare him." (beat) "Look, I know it seems hopeless. But the truth is you won't always be around to protect him. He's going to get out there again. He's probably out there now."
"truer words have never been said before" said param
ON STOICK, as Gobber's words hit their mark. EXT. WOODS - DAY ON AN OPEN NOTEBOOK
A drawn map of the island, covered in X's. Hiccup looks up from it and peeks over a gorge, expectantly. Sees nothing. He adds another 'X' to the page, then scratches his pencil over the whole map in frustration. He snaps the book closed and pockets it.
"damn hiccup what did the book ever do to you" asked snotloud amused
HICCUP "Uggh, the gods hate me. Some people lose their knife or their mug. No, not me. I manage to lose an entire dragon."
"ya, only you can have that level of bad luck" spiteloud said knowing his nephews luck
Hiccup WHACKS a low-hanging branch. It SNAPS back at him, hitting him in the face.
Everyone laughs at the boys misfortune
He looks up to see a snapped tree trunk. His eyes follow it to a long trench of up-turned earth. He follows it to a downed, black dragon, its body and tail tangled in a bola. It appears dead.
Everyone is silent at this and looks in fear seeing the nightfury
Hiccup approaches, beaming. HICCUP (CONT'D) (in shock) "Oh wow. I did it. I did it. This fixes everything." (elated) "Yes!" He strikes a victory pose, planting his foot on the fallen Night Fury. HICCUP (CONT'D) "I have brought down this mighty beast!"
"how are you not freaking out!" exclaimed dagur
"I thought he was dead" he said. Thankfully no one noticed that he used HE and not IT
It suddenly shifts. "Whoa!" HICCUP (CONT'D) Hiccup springs back, terrified. He turns his blade on it.
Everyone is even more scared. Stoick is clutching the seat arms very hard while astrid is doing the same with hiccups arm
Rattled, Hiccup creeps along the length of the weak, wounded dragon, dagger poised to strike. As he reaches the head, Hiccup finds the Night Fury staring coldly at him. Hiccup tries to look away, but he's drawn back to its unnerving, unflinching stare. With the dragon safety tangled in the ropes, Hiccup jabs with his dagger, puffing himself up with false bravado.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "I'm going to kill you, Dragon. I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a Viking. (beat) I am a VIKING!" Hiccup raises the dagger, determined to prove his Viking ness.
Stoick is proud of hiccup but feels something is not right, this is not how hiccup usually is 'don't break yourself while trying to prove yourself hiccup'
Valka worried both for the dragon and hiccup 'don't do it son'
'Why won't he do it yet' thought alvin/dagur/viggo/rhyker/drago all at once
The dragon's labored breathing breaks Hiccup's clenched concentration. He opens an eye, uncertainty leaking through. The dragon holds the stare. Something profound is exchanged. Finally, the Night Fury closes its eye and lowers its head, resigned to its fate. Hiccup tries to go through with it, holding the dagger aloft... fighting himself... until finally lowering it with a frustrated sigh. He looks over the dragon's chaffed rope wounds.
HICCUP (CONT'D) (muttered, ashamed) "I did this."
Everyone is shocked bur somewhat relieved that hiccup didn't break himself while trying to prove himself
"hmmmm.. you couldn't kill him so you left him to be eaten….. I see" said viggo to no one specific
"wellll…" hiccup trailed off. Viggo raised an eyebrow and looks back at the screen
He turns to leave. Pauses. And glances back at the dragon, chest heaving. Hiccup GRUMBLES. He checks over his shoulder to ensure that no one is watching... then hurries back to cut the ropes. The Night Fury's eye shoots open. With the dragon watching his every move, Hiccup hurriedly saws through the bola ropes.
"HICCUP WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?" screamed everyone other then the dragons and dragon lovers
As the last rope falls free, the Night Fury suddenly POUNCES! In a blur, the dragon is upon him, pinning Hiccup down, grazing his neck. Looking like it's about to kill him. Hiccup is paralyzed.
All voices seize. Few people and even some dragons cover their eyes
The dragon's breath ruffles his hair. Hiccup opens his eyes to find the Night Fury's wolf-like stare boring into him. The exchange is intense, profound. The dragon draws a deep breath, as though it's about to torch him, then lets out an ear-piercing scream instead. It turns and takes flight, flapping violently through the canopy of trees. It bashes against a nearby mountain side, recovers, and drops out of view some distance away. Winded, Hiccup struggles to his feet, staggers a few steps, collapses to his knees, and faints.
sound at all. Silence at what just happened before a scream
"HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK THE THIRD!" screamed stoick
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that's it for now. Sorry-not-sorry for the cliffhanger please review. Bye have a nice day
