Guest: first of all excellent wording. Second I 100% agree with you
Disclaimer: I don't own how to train your dragon
"HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK THE THIRD!" screamed stoick
Hiccup averts his face from the crowd
"what do you think you just did!" shouted a random viking
"yer a traiter!" scowled mildew
"ya deserve a punishment worse than death" said a viking woman
Seeing this astrid holds hiccup closer and hides his face in between her neck and shoulder and hugs him protectively
"astrid let go of him right now" screamed ingrind
"princess come here to me. I'll save you" exclaimed snotloud
Astrid glared at him but didn't respond. Stoick came running and was just outside of the barrier
"HICCUP!" he shouted. Hiccup flinched, astrid only held him tighter
Snotloud charges into the barrier and gets electrocuted. Others back away
Thoark, atali, mala and heather stand infront of the berkians
"stop this maddness" said mala
"oyut of the way woman" said hoark as he trys to push her away
Thoark grabs his hand and summer salts him "don't you dare touch the queen"
"THAT'S ENOUGH" param said as he jumped between them "everyone calm down"
Stoick ignores him calls hiccup "Hiccup get here right know"
Hiccup is shaking in fear. Toothless and the other dragons watch helplessly. Toothless is growling in anger but knows he can't do anything, all he can do is hope that hiccups mate and the weird human can deal with the others
"listen, I know your all mad but remember what I said don't be quick to judge"
It didn't work and stoick slowly advanced forward. Param could just tie them all to their chairs easily but if he didn't quell stoicks rage then he won't keep an open mind while watching the movie. Realising he only had one option he uses it
"is this what you think valka would have wanted!?" he froze in place eyes widen. Everyone in the room looked at param shocked. Everything was silent
'using my name like that is a low blow… but given the situation it was the right thing to do' valka thought
"I know your angry at your sons actions but you should see the full story before making any rash decision "
"the lads wright stoick" said gobber "seeing his breakdown and the revelation of his attempt to kill himself I'd say we'ver to be blamed for neglecting him. so lets just watch what happens before deciding anything "
Stoick thinks about it for a bit then says "alright" and goes back to his seat
Everyone sits at their seats and param takes a sigh of relief "few…..that was close"
"such drama" commented rhyker then saw viggo thinking deeply "what are you thinking brother"
"hm. Nothing just…. Wondering why that dragon didn't kill him" said viggo confused
INT. STOICK'S HOUSE – CONTINUOUSSTOICK, seated on a thick slice of tree-trunk. He is slouched over the fire-pit, stirring the coals with his axe. Embers waft around his beard. Hiccup tries to sneak past, up the stairs to his room. Stoick seems none the wiser, when...
STOICK "Hiccup."
"busted" said the twins
HICCUP (caught) "Dad. Uh..." Stoick stands, takes a deep breath. HICCUP (CONT'D) "I, uh... I have to talk to you, Dad."
STOICK "I need to speak with you too, son." Hiccup and Stoick STRAIGHTEN at the same moment.
HICCUP "I've decided I don't want to fight dragons." STOICK "I think it's time you learn to fight dragons." (beat) "What?" "What?"
Everyone laughs "seriously, only the two of you would change your mind at the exact same time on what to do" said bertha (snotlout's mom in this fic)
STOICK (CONT'D) "You go first."
HICCUP "No, you go first."
Hiccup groans and face palms "I should have gone first"
STOICK "Alright. You get your wish. Dragon training. You start in the morning."
"you should have gone first" said all the people and the dragons
HICCUP (scrambling) "Oh man, I should've gone first. Uh, 'cause I was thinking, you know we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough bread-making Vikings, or small home repair Vikings-"
"I'll say it myself. I'm a hopeless when it comes to lying" said hiccup
Astrid giggles a bit "hey, for what its worth you were able to hide a nightfury from the village for a long time" she whispered in his ear
He brightens a bit
STOICK—"You'll need this." Stoick hands Hiccup his axe. Hiccup avoids taking it.
HICCUP "I don't want to fight dragons."
STOICK "Come on. Yes, you do."
HICCUP "Rephrase. Dad I can't kill dragons."
STOICK "But you will kill dragons."
HICCUP "No, I'm really very extra sure that I won't."
"well he just became my favourite human" chirped stormfly
Other dragons nodded in agreement
STOICK "It's time Hiccup."
HICCUP "Can you not hear me?"
STOICK "This is serious son!" Stoick forces the axe into Hiccup's hands. Its weight drags him down. He looks up to see Stoick under-lit with firelight.
"I don't think an axe is the best weapon for you" said astrid looking at hiccup who nodded. The two of them were snuggled into each other but didn't really notice
"I think a hammor waould do fine. He uses one in the forg so haow different can it be" suggested alvin
"no. A short sword and a dagger. And a bunch of hidden daggers. At least a dozen. All laced with poison." Countered dagur
"sword and shield? Bow and arrows? Perhaps a spear? " wondered viggo while rhyker raised an eyebrow
"how about a staff. Made of dragon bones" said draggo
"oookaaayy…. Why on earth are you all discussing which weapon suits me best" asked a confused hiccup
"since you just faced a nightfury and survived and your tribe hates you, there hoping to get you to join there side" answered param
"Hey! How did yo-… you read our thoughts didn't you" concluded draggo. Param nodded
"ya….. not gonna happen" said hiccup
"why..yer tribe hates ya" said savage
"sure it does but that's not enough reason for me to join any of you" explained hiccup calmly
The berkians still consider him a traitor for not killing the dragon but are a tiny bit happy with his statement
STOICK (CONT'D) "When you carry this axe... you carry all of us with you."
"that would crush me" said hiccup sarcastically
"Which means you walk like us."
"I'll be SOOOOO much slower" he groaned
"You talk like us."
"whas wrong the way I tak" he said mimcking a REGULAR viking accent
"You think like us."
"NOOOO! MY BRAIN!" he screamed in horror. At this point everyone-even-stoick was laughing hard
"we got the point smartass" astrid said punching his shoulder
"hey have to admit watching this from a third person view eases the tension of the situation a bit" he said while rubbing his shoulder
"that's the beauty of it" said param
"No more of... (gesturing non specifically at Hiccup) ... this."
HICCUP "You just gestured all of me."
"you sure get that a lot don't you ?" asked hether who's now standing outside the barrier along with mala, thoark and atali
"a LOT-aLOT" said astrid
"we were hoping to sit with you three" said thoark
Param glances at hiccup and astrid who whisper a bit and then nod. He snaps his fingers and all four of them come and sit
"can I come as well?" there heads turn to see a timid fishlegs standing there "I know I have been a bad friend and you probably hate me-"
"not really and yes you can sit" hiccup cut him off
"wait what" fishlegs asked in surprise
"true you weren't really a friend but weren't a tormentor like those three" point at snotloud and the twins "plus I saw that you were scared they'll bully you as well since while were built different in terms of likings and personality were pretty similar so I can get why you didn't act. I'm not one to hold grudges, we can be friends you know if you want" he finished and held his hand out which fishlegs Shaked
Param then stood up and said "well looks like you've got quite the company now. Guess I'll go back to my seat, as fun as it is to chat with you administrating everything is easier from up there then down here"
"sure, and thanks for sitting with me" replied hiccup
Param shook his head "no need to thank me, as the host its my job to make sure everyones happy" he said then disappeared and reappeared on his top most seat
Everyone got seated with thoark, mala and atali seating at the top row. Astrid and hiccup in the middle still snuggling into each other and fishlegs and heather at the bottom row getting acquainted with each other thinking the same thing 'he/she looks cute'
Toothless watch's this and is happy for hiccup
STOICK "Deal?"
HICCUP "This conversation is feeling very one-sided."
STOICK "DEAL?!"
Hiccup glances at the axe in his hands. It's a no-win argument.
HICCUP (resigned) "Deal."
Satisfied, Stoick grabs his helmet and duffel bag... and heads for the door. STOICK "Good. Train hard. I'll be back. Probably."
"seriously. That's the best your giving your son before leaving" asked mala
HICCUP "And I'll be here. Maybe."
Stoick heads out the door, leaving Hiccup holding the axe.
"what do you mean maybe?" asked fishlegs
"you'll see" said hiccup
(A.N. THIS NEXT MOVIE TEXT IS NOT FROM THE ACTUAL MOVIE JUST SOME…..LOKI'D)
HICCUP sitting on his bed waiting for someone
HICCUP "How long do they need?" he groaned
"who are you waiting for lad" asked spitelout confused on who HE could be expecting
"l-l don't know who I- wait when did this happen" he asked param confused
"it should be after stoick left but… this never happened. As far as I remember you ate food and went straight to bed" answered param as confused as everyone else
'how do you know that? Did you watch this once before' thought valka
'well I had to make sure the story was interesting enough to watch' answered param
"then what are we looking at now" asked rhyker to no-one specific
Hiccup and param just shrug and continue watching confused
The door opens and….. astrid and ruffnut enter
"hey that's us" said a confused ruffnut
"what are we doing there?" questioned astrid just as confused
"what in helhiem is going on?" asked the twins mother
They were about to say something when hiccup stood up "don't even bother explaining. Lets get to the fun part" he said and started removing his tunic. The girls smirk and start stripping
"whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa" param said as he paused the movie
"WHAT THE HECK!" shouted astrid getting up
"what's the meaning of this!" the twins and astrid's parents along with stoick and gobber asked
"WE SWEAR NOTHING LIKE THIS EVER HAPPEND" said hiccup franticly
"MOM DAD YOU BOTH KNOW I'M INTO HUSK PEOPLE THAT ARE MUSCULAR. THAT IDIOT IS NEITHER" said ruffnut
"wait wait I know what's going on" said param as he floated Infront of the screen
A lasso appears in his hand and he throws it in the screen and it went through the screen to everyone's surprise
"ah-huh" the lasso catches something and brings a man out of the screen
The man had a gold crown and was holding a staff
"ow…" said the mysterious man
"What did I say about messing with the movie loki!" exclaimed param angrily
"LOKI!" exclaimed everyone surprised
"well I wanted to join in the fun" he said innocently
"you could've just asked" param said rolling eyes
"where's the fun in that" he shrugged innocently
Param sighs and snaps his fingers. A seat appears next to params seat and Loki appears in it with ropes tying him to the seat and gaging him
He turns to everyone "sorry about that…you know god of mischief….. biggest trickster…. You know"
"well I just had about 20 heart attacks at ones" said ingrind taking a sigh of relief
Hiccup sigh as well but then realises that the twins didn't react at all on seeing loki. He looks at then and realises just like loki they were tied to there seats and gaged.
Param catches this "ya for the sake of everyone's sanity I think its best if they don't interact with loki"
Everyone agreed while hiccup began wondering just how powerful param is being able to control loki
"lets forget that ever happened and continue watching" said astrid as she interlocks her hand with hiccup's. Everyone nods
(A.N. well hope you liked the….easter egg Ig)
EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - DAY Gobber raises a massive iron gate at the entrance of a vast stone arena.
GOBBER "Welcome to dragon training!"
The recruits file through the gate, and out onto the arena floor. They take it in like gladiators entering the colosseum. The walls are covered in scorched silhouettes of blasted Vikings. It's a grim yet awe-inspiring place.
The dragons and dragon lovers are disgusted at watching this
ASTRID "No turning back."
The hoffersons are proud of astrid
TUFFNUT "I hope I get some serious burns."
RUFFNUT "I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back."
ASTRID "Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it."
"Why would you want to get hurt" asked the triple strike confused
"scars are seen as a symbol that you're a true worrier" answered astrid
"word of advice astrid. Don't say anything without thinking at least thrice as you never know when it'll come back to bite you in the leg" (A.N. you can probably tell what I mean)
Astrid is confused but decides to not question it
HICCUP (O.S.) "Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain. Love it."
The recruits turn to see Hiccup behind them. Groans all around.
TUFFNUT "Oh great. Who let him in?"
"the same fat guy who let you in" deadpanned toothless
GOBBER "Let's get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village."
"whats the honor in taking a life" asked heather
SNOTLOUT "Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him or...?"
Some dragons growled while hiccup is unaffected by it. Astrid squeezed his hand to make him feel better
The recruits LAUGH and chatter in the background.
TUFFNUT "Can I transfer to the class with the cool Vikings?"
Gobber throws a supportive arm around Hiccup and ushers him along. GOBBER (cheery, in confidence) "Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target. They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more Viking-like teens instead."
"helhiem gobber your pep talk is terrible as ever" said spitelout shaking his head
"well I doh'nt see anyone else doing any better" said gobber glaring at everyone laughing
GOBBER stick him in line with the others and continues on toward five massive reinforced doors. Terrible ROARS and BELLOWS issue from within.
GOBBER (CONT'D) "Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight."
Fishlegs bounces and giggles with excitement, barely able to contain himself.
he does the same while next to him heather is amused by it
"here we go again" said hiccup giggling g and shaking his head
GOBBER (CONT'D) "The Deadly Nadder."
FISHLEGS (under his breath) "Speed eight. Armor sixteen."
GOBBER "The Hideous Zippleback."
FISHLEGS "Plus eleven stealth. Times two."
GOBBER "The Monstrous Nightmare."
FISHLEGS "Firepower fifteen."
GOBBER "The Terrible Terror."
FISHLEGS "Attack eight. Venom twelve."
"wow you sure know a lot about dragons huh" said hether amused. Fishlegs blushes a bit
"he's basically a walking talking dragon book" said astrid equally amused
GOBBER "CAN YOU STOP THAT?!" (beat) "And...the Gronckle."
FISHLEGS (quietly; to himself) "Jaw strength, eight."
"couldn't help yourself huh?" said thoark amused
while hiccup looks at his father "dad why of all Vikings did you leave gobber to train us"
"um.. because he's one of the most experienced Vikings ever" he answer confused at the question
"why you ask that lad?" asked Mr. thorston
"because of his training methods" he answer
"which are…" asked and curious bertha
"the same one he used to teach me in the forge…" he said and looks back at the screen
Gobber pulls a lever, raising the cross beam on the last of the doors.
SNOTLOUT "Whoa, wait! Aren't you gonna teach us first!?"
"….learning on the job" he finished mimicking gobber as all adults look back at the screen finally getting the point
GOBBER "I believe in learning on the job."
BAM! A GRONCKLE thunders out of its cave, charging into the ring like an irate rhino. The recruits scramble in every direction. Except for Ruffnut and Tuffnut who rush toward it, like pumped-up rodeo clowns.
"GOBBER!" shouted all the parents
Viggo facepalms "no wonder they have trouble with the raids. All they think and teach is if there's a dragon then kill it"
rhyker nods in agreement
GOBBER (CONT'D) "Today is about survival. If you get blasted, you're dead."
"remind me never to put gobber on teaching duty ever again" groans stoick as he facepalms. Gobber just grumbles
"Quick, what's the first thing you're going to need?"
HICCUP "A doctor?"
Bertha chuckles "sorry lad that comes after the training"
'param correct me if I assume wrong but it seems bertha is really close to hiccup' thought valka
'ya. She's had mother like relationship with him since the…..you know' answered param
'remind me to especially thank her after this' she thought again smiling
FISHLEGS "Plus five speed?"
The ingermens sigh and shake their heads while everyone else chuckles
ASTRID "A shield."
"that's my daughter" exclaimed agnar
Astrid smiles proud while hiccup playfully nudges her
GOBBER "Shields. Go."
The recruits scramble for shields, finding them scattered around the ring.
GOBBER (CONT'D) "Your most important piece of equipment is your shield. If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield."
'solid advice against human opponents but not that useful against dragons' thought viggo
Hiccup STRUGGLES to lift his. Gobber helps him and sends him running. Ruff and Tuff stand amidst a dozen shields. But only one has a skull painted on it. They both grab it.
Everyone groans knowing what will happen
TUFFNUT "Get your hands off my shield!"
RUFFNUT "There are like a million shields!"
TUFFNUT "Take that one, it has a flower on it. Girls like flowers."
Ruffnut uses the shield to BASH Tuffnut in the face. He doesn't let go.
RUFFNUT "Ooops, now this one has blood on it."
The Gronckle takes aim at the distracted twins. Blam! The shield is blasted out of both of their hands. Tuff and Ruff SPIN like tops and go down.
GOBBER "Tuffnut, Ruffnut, you're out!"
TUFFNUT (dazed) "What?!"
RUFFNUT (confused) "What?!"
"out before hiccup. Now that's just embarrassing" said snotlout crossing his arms
"well they were making a lot of noise so I went for them first" answered meatlug
"why did you aim for the shield" asked fishlegs
"it's against the rules of war to kill hatchlings during there training" answered toothless although he was hiding behind dragons to not be seen
The berkians were shocked at this. The dragons were just mindless beasts….…right?
The Gronckle scoops up a pile of rocks and SWALLOWS them back. The teens gather on the far side of the ring.
GOBBER "Those shields are good for another thing. Noise. Make lots of it to throw off a dragon's aim."
The kids scoop up weapons and begin hammering on their shields. The Gronckle shakes its head at the clatter.
GRONCKLE'S POV - the teens targets become blurry and scrambled. It's working.
"so that's what it looks like from a dragon's pov….. interseting" said viggo rubbing his chin
GOBBER (CONT'D) "All dragons have a limited number of shots. How many does a Gronckle have?"
SNOTLOUT "Five!"
FISHLEGS "No, six."
GOBBER "Correct, six. That's one for each of you!"
"how convenient eh" said astrid
"and since he got the twins in one hit it has an extra shot" added heather
FISHLEGS "I really don't think my parents would-" BAM! Fishlegs has his shield blasted away.
"yes, we would not agree to this" said the ingermens
GOBBER "Fishlegs, out."
Gobber spots Hiccup hiding from the Gronckle's molten slugs."
GOBBER (CONT'D) "Hiccup, get in there!"
ON ASTRID bouncing on her heels, ready to dodge a blast. Snotlout appears, trying to hit on her.
SNOTLOUT "So anyway I'm moving into my parents' basement. You should come by sometime to work out. You look like you work out-" She cartwheels out of the way, allowing a shot to shoot past her and hit Snotlout's shield. He's blasted onto his back.
GOBBER "Snotlout! You're done!"
Spitelout groans then looks at the hoffersons "I am SO sorry for this"
ingrind sighs "its alright. We know its hard to get the point across to him"
agnar looks seriously at the screen "I'm more worried that this" he gestures the screen "is the condition of the future generation of berk"
"so far astrid and hiccup have shown any promise" added bertha then continued "no wonder they were the top recruites"
Astrid ROLLS to a stop beside Hiccup, who stirs awkwardly, trying to look cool.
HICCUP (voice breaking) "So, I guess it's just you and me huh?"
Hiccup looks at astrid "sorry"
"well you were better then snotlout at least" she said
ASTRID "No. Just you."
Astrid ROLLS away. A split-second later a lava slug knocks Hiccup's shield clear off of his arm. Hiccup is exposed.
GOBBER "One shot left"
! Hiccup panics and chases after his shield as it rolls across the ring.
"hey why is hiccup not out" asked atali
"it seems the blacksmith was playing favorites" answered mala
Gobber just nervously whistles
The sudden movement sends the Gronckle chasing after him, leaving Astrid in the clear.
GOBBER (CONT'D) (worried) "Hiccup!"
The Gronckle drives straight toward Hiccup, pinning him against the wall. It opens its mouth and cocks its tail, ready to fire point-blank.
Everyone is scared
Gobber lunges in and hooks the Gronckle's mouth at the last second, causing its head to jerk back and fire against the stone wall above Hiccup's head.
GOBBER (CONT'D) (rattled, but masking it) "And that's six!"
Everyone takes a sigh of relief
Dagur looks at meatlug "thought you said you didn't kill during training!"
"well my head was spinning because of the noise so I couldn't think straight" she looks at hiccup "sorry hatchling"
Toothless growls at her but hiccup accepts the apology so he stops
Gobber wrestles the irate Gronckle back into his pen. GOBBER (CONT'D) "Go back to bed, ya overgrown sausage! You'll get another chance, don't you worry."
"HEY! I'm not a sausage" exclaimed meatlug
Slam! Lock. Gobber turns to the recruits. GOBBER (CONT'D) "Remember... a dragon will always," (with a stern look to Hiccup) "always go for the kill."
"ALWAYS gobber" hiccup asked while smirking
"alright alright ALMOST always" said gobber rolling his eyes
He hoists Hiccup to his feet and walks off. Hiccup looks overhead to see a steaming pit in the solid stone wall.
"oh no what are you thinking now" asked stoick
"ABSELOUTLY NOTHING" hiccup said with a look that makes him look like the most innocent person in all nine realms
Everyone groans at this knowing something crazy was about to happens
"oh boy….." groans astird
And that would be it (only about 4012 words longest chapter yet) for this chapter. Please review and specifically tell what did you think about the loki easter egg, I came up with that On my own. Anyways love you guys and girls bye :)
