Review

No new reviews this time sadly…. Oh well

Disclaimer: I don't own how to train your dragon

"NOW FOR REAL THIS TIME, let's continue"

ON THE TEENS HOOTING and HOLLERING from the stands. TUFFNUT "Show 'em how it's done, my man!"

"reminder to all" said Param "what we're about to see is the future"

Hiccup locks eyes with Stoick. Stoick nods with a smile. Hiccup returns a half-smile. Takes a deep breath. He hoists a shield onto his forearm and selects his weapon from a rack of many - a small dagger. STOICK (muttered) "Hrmph. I would've gone for the hammer."

"huh" said Hiccup "I honestly thought you'd have gone for the axe" he finished looking at Stoick

"while that is the most optimal weapon, that would end the fight very quickly, Vikings usually don't like it when a fight ends super-quickly" Stoick replied

"that seriously what your concerned about right now" scoffed Savage

"shut up idiot" replied Tuffnut surprisingly "obviously he's nervous for what's about to happen, and is trying to divert his mind from it" he stated, everyone-even Param, Thor and Loki-stared at him like he grew 15 new heads. Everyone except hiccup, who was indeed nervous and was trying to stay calm 'here goes everything'

Hiccup turns to face a bolted, heavy door. Takes a deep breath. HICCUP "I'm ready." The door bolt is raised. The crowd grows quiet...

So does everyone watching the movie

Beat. BOOM! The doors blast open with a stream of sticky fire. Followed by a Monstrous Nightmare, coated in flames. It tears out of its cave like an irate bull - as the crowd roars and jeers. It climbs the walls and chain enclosure like a bat, hissing at the provoking crowd and blasting fire.

"I'm sorry in advance" said Hookfang "if I hurt you in there" he finished apologetically

Hiccup shakes his head "even if you do, it won't be your fault or your mistake" he replied smiling

It spots Hiccup and descends, leering and licking the flaming drool from its lips. The crowd grows silent, bracing for the big fight. With the Monstrous Nightmare's eyes locked upon him, Hiccup deliberately drops his shield and dagger stepping away from them.

Hiccup was nervously repeating "please work, please work, please work". Astrid was squeezing his hand, but wasn't saying anything, as she was just as worried

The dragon pauses, confused. ON STOICK, also confused. STOICK "What is he doing?"

'what I should've done years ago' thought Valka

The dragon presses closer, snorting. Hiccup extends his open hand. It snarls. HICCUP (whispered) "It's okay. It's okay." The dragon continues to pace, focused on... HICCUP'S HELMET.

"that helmet is causing trouble" exclaimed Heather

"the timing of your gift couldn't have sucked more, ay Stoick" said Dagur jokingly, but promptly shut up when everyone turned to glare at him

Hiccup realizes, then reaches up and removes it. Taking a breath to acknowledge the point of no return, he tosses the helmet aside. It hits the ground. HICCUP (CONT'D) "I'm not one of them." GASPS and MURMURS race through the crowd.

"I don't know weather to comment on the bravery or the stupidity of doing that" Viggo said shaking his head

"how about not commenting at all" said Fishlegs, surprising everyone "it's not like anyone asked for it"

Viggo was taken aback by this, not expecting such a reaction from THAT kid out of everyone

ON STOICK, as all eyes turn to him. He's welling with upset. Hiccup avoids Stoick's glare and remains focused on the Nightmare, holding his hand out. It paces around him, calming down. STOICK "Stop the fight."

"no" said Hiccup "everyone needs to see this"

'please don't ruin this, I've already caused enough damage as it is, please don't cause more' was the only thought going through Stoick's head

HICCUP "No. I need you all to see this."

A few people chuckled slightly at the similarities

The crowd gets restless. HICCUP (CONT'D) "They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them." STOICK "I SAID STOP THE FIGHT!"

Param sighs and whispers "here it comes"

Stoick whacks his hammer against the iron enclosure, rattling the arena with a terrible reverberating clatter.

A horrified expression is on everyone's face. Toothless, Hiccup, Astrid, Stoick and Valka in particular turn as white as ghosts

Spooked, the Nightmare snaps at Hiccup's outstretched hand. Hiccup YELPS and springs backward. The spell is broken.

"HICCUP!" shouts everyone in the room(except the bad guys) scared for the boy. Astrid's death grip on Hiccup's arm returns, only this time he's too scared to notice

The Nightmare reacts to Hiccup's sudden movements and blasts another stream of fire. Hiccup SCREAMS and barely dives out of reach. EXT. COVE - CONTINUOUS ON TOOTHLESS His ear plates shoot up. Panic flares in his eyes.

Hiccup's eyes widen "oh no, please don't come there, it will make things worse" he basically pleaded

Toothless scoffs "I don't care if it does, you need me right now"

EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - CONTINUOUS Hiccup scrambles around the ring. The Nightmare pursues, snapping and springing from ground to wall. Stoick pushes through the crowd, rushing to the doorway. STOICK "Out of my way!" ASTRID "Hiccup!" Astrid wedges her axe under the arena gate and squeezes through.

Hiccup worried even more, he turns to Astrid "what are you doing!? You could also get hurt"

Astrid looks at him seriously "I'm not leaving you alone Hiccup, I've already made that mistake once" she said sternly

While her parents were proud of what she said, that did not stop both Agnar and Ingrind from turning white as ghosts in worry

EXT. COVE - CONTINUOUS Toothless bounds to the cove walls, clawing them in desperation. It seems he's as trapped as before, but with an incredible BURST of effort he HOOKS a claw over the upper lip of the stone wall.

"wait, your telling me he could've escaped that entire time" exclaimed Drago

"I'm almost certain that was a heat of the moment kind of thing" answered Param, the only one other then Thor and Loki who wasn't freaking out or worrying

EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - CONTINUOUS A narrow stream of fire narrowly avoids Hiccup as he continues to dash around the ring, evading the Monstrous Nightmare. Desperate, he goes to the weapon rack in an attempt to arm himself, but the Nightmare quickly destroys the rack and closes in on him. EXT. COVE - CONTINUOUS Toothless tears through the woods, bounding like panther and taking to the air in short bursts.

Hiccup is clenching his teeth desperately hoping for some miracle to happen

EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - CONTINUOUS Stoick Astrid is now in the ring. ASTRID "Hiccup!" She picks up a hammer and hurls it at the Monstrous Nightmare, hitting it in the head.

Hiccup looks towards her "thanks for the save" he said sincerely. Astrid smiles at him for a moment, before they turn there attention back to the screen

It turns its attention to Astrid, and begins chasing her. Stoick raises the arena gate, waving her toward it. STOICK "This way" Astrid makes it through, but the Nightmare BLASTS the doorway, cutting Hiccup off. It pounces on him and prepares to finish him off.

"HICCUP!" everyone shouts in fear, almost all the dragons are growling at Hookfang, who was also looking at the floor guiltily

Suddenly, a terrible roar pierces the din.

Param smiles "perfect timing"

GOBBER "Night Fury! Get down!" Toothless bounds over the crowd and BLASTS a hole through the chain enclosure. He flies through it and disappears in the boiling smoke.

Everyone is at edge of there seats, some people have turned their face away, not wanting to see this

'please son…. Be alright' thought Valka

The Vikings rush to railings... in time to see a flurry of wings cutting through the dissipating smoke. Toothless and the Nightmare tumble into the clear, locked in a toothy, vicious fight. Toothless kicks the Nightmare off and plants himself between Hiccup and it. The Nightmare snarls, circling them. Toothless lunges and ROARS... causing the Nightmare to relent and back away.

Everyone takes a sigh of relief

"thank the gods that's over" exclaimed Tuffnut relieved

"no it's not" Hiccup said quickly, everyone looked at him "Toothless, THE UNHOLY OFFSPRING OF LIGHTNING AND DEATH, is in-front of Vikings, that kill dragons" he explained slowly, like talking to a child. Everyone's eyes widen in realisation

"toothless you need get out of there now!" exclaimed Mala

To everyone's shock and horror, Hiccup gets to his feet and grabs Toothless protectively. HICCUP (panicked) "Alright, Toothless, go. Get out of here!" The crowd is gob-smacked, growing livid. VIKINGS "Night Fury!"

"why aren't you running away!?" Hiccup asked worriedly "I'm safe now, YOU need to get to safty!" he said looking at toothless

"it's the situation" said Param

"what do you mean to say" asked Agnar

"Toothless just jumped in on Hiccup almost being killed by a nightmare, and now there surrounded by a bunch of angry Vikings, that have many weapons and are closing in" Param explained "from my understanding, to Toothless-due to the situation-it looks as if the Vikings are going to harm Hiccup" everyone's eyes widen at the realisation "he's not going away, cus he's trying to protect Hiccup"

Hiccup tries to shoo Toothless away in vain. Vikings begin pouring clambering through the enclosure and dropping into the ring. HICCUP "Go! GO!" VIKING "Take it alive!" Stoick grabs an axe and charges into the arena.

"no, no, no, don't do this" Stoick said desperately, looking at his on screen-self

Astrid calls out to him, panicked. ASTRID "Stoick no!" HICCUP "Dad! No! He won't hurt you!" The other Vikings surround and attack Toothless. He tosses them aside like rag dolls, his eyes focused on Stoick. HICCUP (CONT'D) "No, don't! You're only making it worse!" Stoick raises his hammer as he charges for Toothless. Toothless ducks and pounces on him. They tumble end over end.

Toothless pales "don't kill him, don't kill him, DO NOT KILL HIM!"

HICCUP (CONT'D) "Toothless! STOP!" He pins Stoick and inhales. The familiar hiss of gas builds. Everyone braces...

Hiccup shouts "NO!"

'NO!' mind shouted Valka

HICCUP (CONT'D) "NO!" Toothless swallows back the blast and turns to Hiccup, not understanding.

Hiccup, Toothless and Valka take a sigh of relief

VIKING "Get him!" The crowd rushes him, piling on, and taking Toothless down.

And they all immediately pale "oh no" groaned Hiccup

Astrid holds Hiccup back. HICCUP (desperate) "No! Please...just don't hurt him. Please don't hurt him."

Stoick gets to his feet, fuming, shaken. A Viking presents Stoick with an axe.

Stoick clenching the arm-rests of his chair so hard they started to crack

He eyes Toothless a moment, then pushes the axe back into the Viking's hands. STOICK "Put it with the others!" His burning glare turn to Hiccup.

Everyone just sits silently, shocked and horrified of what just happened. The atmosphere in the room is worst then when Hiccup had his break down.

The silence was broken by Stoick murmuring "What have I done" he said and pinched his nose bridge

"well, I'd say that went as badly as that could've" said Alvin

"nope" replied Param popping the 'p' "in many timelines when this happens someone just dies, so I'd say that still could've gone worst"

"oh there's that warm fussy feeling I was looking for" said Hiccup, still as sarcastic as ever

Param sighs "ya… emotional talk is not my strong suit"

Hiccup just sighs heavily and rubs his hands on his face "I don't see how it can get any worse"

Param sighs again "sorry to say this, but the worse is still not done" as he said this everyone looked at him shocked, he just silently pointed towards the screen

INT. GREAT HALL - DAY ON HICCUP Being shoved into the dank, dimmed hall. SLAM! The massive doors rattle and echo. Stoick pushes past him.

Everyone pales yet again 'no, no, no ,no I've already ruined everything, not this too' Stoick was thinking worriedly

'every time Stoick gets angry, he takes decisions without thinking or realising what he's done' thought Valka 'with how much anger he must have at that moment.…. Odin protect Hiccup'

He paces against a backdrop of shadowy tapestries and carved pillars - a legacy of heroes, all peering down in angered judgement. STOICK "I should have known. I should have seen the signs."

'signs? What signs?' thought Hiccup

HICCUP "Dad." STOICK "We had a deal!" Stoick pauses to say something, but stops short.

"yes, a very one sided deal" said the Skrill

The Triple strike bumps his side "not helping"

He SNORTS and resumes pacing, repeating the cycle. HICCUP (flustered) "I know we did... but that was before... ughh, it's all so messed up."

STOICK "So everything in the ring. A trick? A lie?"

Stoick was gripping his seats arm-rests so hard they break, not that he notices

He stomps toward Hiccup. Stops short and points, fighting back words. HICCUP "I screwed up. I should have told you before now. Take this out on me, be mad at me, but please... just don't hurt Toothless."

"your worried about ME!?" exclaimed Toothless

Param sighs and shakes his head "my guy, your WAY to selfless for your own good"

STOICK "The dragon? That's what you're worried about? Not the people you almost killed?!"

HICCUP "He was just protecting me! He's not dangerous."

STOICK "They've killed HUNDREDS OF US!"

HICCUP "And we've killed THOUSANDS OF THEM! They defend themselves, that's all! They raid us because they have to! If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves." (beat) "There's something else on their island dad...it's a dragon like-"

Hiccup's eyes widen "oh no"

Stoick HUFFS. STOICK—"Their island?" He stomps back... pointing an accusing finger. STOICK (CONT'D) "So you've been to the nest."

HICCUP "Did I say nest?" Hiccup goes silent - he said too much.

Hiccup slams his head down in his hands and groans "ahhhh, I just had to open my mouth" he exclaimed angrily

"don't beat yourself Hiccup" Stormfly said sympathetically "against a huge Viking interrogating you, especially when he is your father" she shakes her head a bit "your pretty much guarantied to slip up"

STOICK "How did you find it?!"

HICCUP "No... I didn't. Toothless did. Only a dragon can find the island."

Stoick GLARES. A moment passes, then an idea takes form on his face. His eyes flare. Hiccup watches, realizing. Stoick stomps toward the doorway.

HICCUP (CONT'D) "Oh no. No, Dad. No." Hiccup chases after him, panicked.

Stoick pales in realisation "I'm gonna recklessly charge in there and get us all killed" he groaned, all the other Vikings and dragons pale as well

HICCUP (CONT'D) "Dad. It's not what you think. You don't know what you're up against. It's like nothing you've ever seen." He grabs Stoick by the arm, tugging with all his might. He has no effect whatsoever.

The room is filled with shouts, everyone-including Stoick-is telling the on screen Stoick to listen to Hiccup

HICCUP (CONT'D) "Dad. Please. I promise you that you can't win this one." Nothing. HICCUP (CONT'D) "No. Dad. No. For once in your life, WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME?!"

That one sentence makes Stoick regret every single decision he's ever made in his life

He throws Hiccup off of him, SWATTING him to the floor. Icy stillness. Hiccup stares back, stunned.

Everyone shuts up, also stunned, waiting for what happens next

Stoick 'please don't do something stupid, don't make the worst decision of your life, please'

STOICK "You've thrown your lot in with them. You're not a Viking." (beat) "You're not my son."

Everyone gasps in shock, hands fly on their face covering their mouths, eyes widening in shock. Stoick just disowned his son! Hiccup was just Disowned!

Valka is unable to stop the tears forming in her eyes 'Stoick what have you done….. Hiccup…..'

Stoick "no….. NO!" he exclaimed furiously, bringing his fist down on the table in-front of him, and breaking through it,(A.N. where the heck are these tables popping up right as they need to be broken!) and hitting the floor, forming a crack in it "no….." he said weakly, everyone eyes him with sympathy, his on screen actions were clearly caused by anger and not his decision

Hiccup just sits there, wide eyed, trying to process what happened

Stoick pushes through the door, leaving Hiccup alone, devastated. STOICK (CONT'D) (calling out) "Ready the ships!" EXT. GREAT HALL - CONTINUOUS Stoick staggers on the steps, breaking inside.

Seeing this breaks Hiccup out of his trance, he closes his eyes and sighs sadly, and then to everyone's surprise… he smiles

Suddenly he gets up and walks down to Stoick, who was still in the same position, a mental storm in his mind, Hiccup puts a hand on his shoulder "dad…"

Stoick turns to look at Hiccup, eyes full of regret and tears

Hiccup gives him a warm smile and says "it's alright" shocking everyone with the statement

"w..wha- what" chocked out Stoick, equally shocked

"I know, you just….. disowned me" he said sadly "but, you were not thinking, the anger you had with everything that happened in the ring had clouded your mind"

"Hiccup….. I've been a very bad father and have never trust you and I just disowned you" Stoick stated sadly "there is no justification for any of this"

"no there isn't" he admitted "But when you walk out you stager back in realisation of what you just did, you didn't mean to do that, when you saw everything happening here in-front of you, you didn't make a rash decision and heard my part, my reasoning and you even gave me permission to meet Toothless." He said sincerely "Dad, mark my words, by the time this entire debacle is over, everything between us will be fine, it may not be perfect, but it will be fine"

Stoick was surprised at how easily his son had forgiven him, even though he made such a mistake that some people-including himself now-could never forgive for there entire life. He keeps staring at his son for a bit, before pulling him into a bear hug, the dams break and he starts to cry

Hiccup returns the hug without hesitation, smiling despite everything that happen. The people around erupted into cheers

After a while they calm down, Hiccup and Stoick return to their seats, everyone was ready to see what will happen next

Valka 'while I'm proud of you Hiccup, for what you have so far done and for what you just said, if your prediction about your father is wrong then I swear to all the gods, I will cut him to pieces and feed him to dragons!'

Param chuckles at hearing this (or sensing through his thoughts) but he himself was worried about one thing 'while your prediction is correct Hiccup… I'm afraid you may not know the price it will cost'

As he thought that everyone in the room turned to look at him in shock, his eyes widen as he realises what happened before anyone even opened their mouths "and I just accidently shared that thought with everyone didn't I?"

"what do you mean by the price it-" was all Bertha was able to say, before Param shuts everyone's mouth

"listen, that was an accident, I'm not aloud to reveal, and normally I automatically can't reveal, just using a portion of my power to contain Loki let my thought out, just watch the movie and you'll see" he pleaded, everyone hesitantly looked back at the screen, more tensed then before

EXT. DOCKS/OPEN SEA – DAY Broken-down catapults and trebuchets are bundled up and lowered from the cliffs. Below on the docks, Vikings load the heavy artillery into the hulls of awaiting ships. Children and the elderly gather to on the walkways to wave apprehensive farewells to the departing warriors. Lastly, Toothless is loaded aboard Stoick's ship, chained down to a palette, muzzled, and restrained with a weighty neck ring. He looks exhausted, miserable.

Stoick crosses to the bow as the ship pushes off and joins the amassed armada of ships adrift in the harbor. Stoick's brow is furrowed, all warmth drained away. He turns west and glares at the horizon with cold determination. STOICK "Set sail! We head for Helheim's Gate."

He then notices HICCUP watching from his familiar cliff-side perch beyond the village. Their eyes meet, full of hurt and regret. Hiccup slowly shakes his head in warning. Stoick breaks the stare and turns to Toothless, fuming. STOICK (CONT'D) "Lead us home, Devil."

"He's not a devil" stated Stoick, Toothless give him a gummy smile

ON HICCUP Watching. He's powerless to stop what is happening, but won't leave. EXT. CLIFFS - LATER ON HICCUP DISSOLVE TO: Still standing there. The ships have cleared the horizon. CRANE UP to reveal Astrid is standing behind him. She approaches cautiously and stands beside him in silence.

"he seems to have lost all hope" Ingrind stated looking towards Astrid "you'll have to be gentle with your words to point him in the right direction"

ASTRID "It's a mess." Hiccup doesn't respond.

Hiccup snorts "that's an understatement"

ASTRID (CONT'D) "You must feel horrible. You've lost everything. Your father, your tribe, your best friend."

"wow" said Drago "your pep talk is worst then Gobber"

HICCUP "Thank you for summing that up." HICCUP (CONT'D) "Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods. It would have been better for everyone."

Hiccup was surprised at this, how could he think that way

"Hiccup how can you say that" exclaimed Atali

"like Ingrind just said" Param answered "he lost all hope and needed someone to point him in the right direction"

ASTRID "Yep. The rest of us would have done it. (beat) So why didn't you?" Hiccup just shakes his head - he really doesn't know. Astrid's eyes glimmer. She wants something. ASTRID (CONT'D) "Why didn't you?"

Astrid smiles, she realises what she's about to do

HICCUP "I don't know. I couldn't."

ASTRID "That's not an answer."

HICCUP (becoming irate) "Why is this so important to you all of a sudden?"

ASTRID "Because I want to remember what you say right now."

HICCUP (angry, loud) "Oh for the love of - I was a coward! I was weak. I wouldn't kill a dragon."

Astrid catches something "you said 'wouldn't' that time"

ASTRID "You said 'wouldn't' that time."

HICCUP (blows up) "Whatever! I wouldn't! Three hundred years and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon!" A BEAT. ASTRID "First to ride one, though."

Param thought to Valka 'second on both accounts unfortunately'. While Astrid simply states "check-mate"

Hiccup blinks. He never looked at it that way before. ASTRID (CONT'D) "So..."

HICCUP (realizing) "...I wouldn't kill him because he looked as frightened as I was." (beat) "I looked at him and I saw myself."

"well done lass" said Gobber

Astrid turns to face the open sea. ASTRID "I bet he's really frightened now." (provoking) "What are you going to do about it?"

"Probably something stupid" stated Hiccup

"that's a start" said Astrid "but you've already done that"

"Plenty of times" added Spitelout sighing playfully

Beat. HICCUP "Probably something stupid."

ASTRID "Good. But you've already done that."

Another beat. HICCUP "Then something crazy. Astrid smiles." ASTRID "That's more like it."

Param smirks and playfully says "Archipelago watchout, the crazy psycho genius has returned" everyone laughs a bit

Hiccup looks at Astrid and mouth 'thank you' to which she replies with a warm smile, before they turn to continue watching the movie

Hello cliffhanger my old friend… god that was a new level of cringe… anyways, this was the second last part of the movie, and the next chapter will be the end of the movie… key word 'movie', this story is not ending till we reach homecoming….. or earlier if I get bored of writing and decide to quit…. But that's not happening anytime soon. Oh btw (4063 words)
