Disclaimer: I don't own how to train your dragon
Hiccup looks at Astrid and mouth 'thank you' to which she replies with a warm smile, before they turn to continue watching the movie
EXT. OPEN SEA/DRAGON ISLAND – DAY The armada coasts toward a shroud of heavy fog, hung like drapes from a low-hanging, ominous sky.
Everyone has a more serious face now, waiting in anticipation on what's about to happen
The ships enter, one by one. Visibility drops immediately. Flanking ships becomes ghosts. The armada disappears, drawn into the blinding mist. Complete whiteout. Nothing remains but the eerie creaking of wood on water. ON STOICK at the bow of his ship. He taps his fingers on the gunwale, then looks back at Toothless impatiently.
Stoick looks down on the floor guiltily, Gobber puts a hand on his shoulder
Weighed down with chains, Toothless seems unresponsive. STOICK "Sound your positions. Stay within earshot." Shouts pour in from all directions.
VIKING #1 "Here."
VIKING #2 "One length to your stern."
VIKING #3 "On your starboard flank."
VIKING #4 "Three widths to port."
VIKING #5 "Ahead, at your bow."
VIKING #6 "Haven't a clue."
Everyone laughs a bit at this
ON STOICK straining into the fog as the calls continue. Massive, jagged sea stacks begin to emerge, threatening to rip the ships to shreds. Gobber approaches him, speaking under his breath.
GOBBER "Listen... Stoick... I was overhearing some of the men just now and, well, some of them are wondering what it is we're up to here - not me of course, I know you're always the man with the plan - but some, not me, are wondering if there is in fact a plan at all, what it might be?"
"OK, from what I understand" started Throk "the conditions for being a blacksmith at berk, is to 1. Be as sarcastic as possible, and 2. Be terrible at keeping secrets" he finishes, everyone laughs some more
"hey, at-least I was able to hide Toothless from the village for a long time" defended Hiccup, though he himself was also smiling
"ya… I'd say that just comes down to the village being an idiot more then anything" said Dagur, causing everyone to glare at him
STOICK "Find the nest and take it."
GOBBER
Ah. Of course. Send them running. The old Viking fall-back. Nice and simple."
"And ineffective" said Param "well, at-least in this situation"
STOICK "Shhh."
Stoick notices that Toothless' ear plates are at the alert, quietly reacting to inaudible sounds. Stoick crosses to the stern of the ship and grabs the tiller, moving the helmsman out of the way.
STOICK (CONT'D) "Step aside." Stoick pulls the ship into a turn, covertly following Toothless' head movements.
The ship barely misses a jagged outcrop that suddenly appears out of the soupy fog. VIKING "Bear to port." The order is called out from ship to ship. CRUNCH! The bow barely makes it past another sea stack. Stoick continues to follow Toothless' cues, undeterred.
EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS – DAY Hiccup raises the bolt on the Monstrous Nightmare's pen.
Hiccup realises what his plan is, he smiles but within a moment grimaces 'this is going to be super risky'
FISHLEGS (O.S.) "If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronckle." Hiccup turns to see his fellow recruits, watching him with folded arms.
"looks like we help as well, awesome" exclaimed the twins
"how did they agree to help Hiccup" questioned Rhyker
"one word" said Param "Astrid" and that's all the explanation everyone needs
Tuffnut steps forward with a scowl. TUFFNUT "You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon." (beat) "It's me."
HICCUP "Uh..."
SNOTLOUT "I love this plan."
"I haven't even told the plan yet" deadpanned Hiccup
HICCUP "I didn't..."
RUFFNUT "You're crazy." (sultry) "I like that."
Hiccup Shudders, Astrid grips Hiccup's arm possessively and glares at Ruffnut
ASTRID "So? What is the plan?" Hiccup smiles, glowing in the support of his friends.
EXT. FOGGY SEA - DAY The ships follow in line through the gauntlet of rocks as orders are whispered from ship to ship.
A dragon head looms out of the fog. The men recoil... only to discover that it's a wrecked ship, impaled high on a gnarled sea stack. GOBBER "Ah. I was wondering where that went."
Everyone chuckled at this
A clicking buzz becomes audible, growing louder. It fills the sky, converging in one general direction. Stoick sniffs the air.
STOICK "Stay low and ready your weapons." Stoick's ship suddenly JERKS to a halt as the keel burrows into shallow black sand. Stoick hops overboard, landing on a sprawling beach.
Toothless sighs heavily "they've found it"
The BUZZING suddenly STOPS. Above him, a craggy volcano towers into the gloom. STOICK (CONT'D) "We're here." Behind him, several dragon-headed bows pierce the fog.
EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - RING - DAY Hiccup steps back from the door, drawing the Monstrous Nightmare out of its cave. It snorts, stepping into the ring, calmed by Hiccup's outstretched hand - focused on him. ON THE TEENS... bewildered, in awe. Snotlout nervously reaches for a spear laying near his foot.
"no, don't" said Hiccup
Astrid stops him. ASTRID (correcting) "Uh-uh."
Hiccup slows to a stop in front of the teens, with the Nightmare inches from his outstretched hand. He reaches over and grabs Snotlout's trembling hand. SNOTLOUT "Wait! What are you..."
HICCUP "Relax. It's okay... it's okay."
"Scared Snoty" teased the twins
Hiccup replaces his outstretched hand with Snotlout's, putting him in control of the massive beast. The Nightmare snorts, but remains calm. Snotlout, by contrast, chuckles nervously - it's at once terrifying and amazing. The others watch, spellbound. Hiccup turns and walks away.
SNOTLOUT "Where are you going?!"
Hiccup pulls a bundle of rope from a supply box. HICCUP "You're going to need something to help you hold on." The teens eye each other apprehensively, and look up to reveal... ALL THE DRAGONS standing in the ring, facing the teens expectantly.
"giving all the teens dragons so they can help fight" Viggo voiced out the situation "THIS IS YOUR PLAN!?" he exclaimed
Hiccup just shrugs "may not be flawless, but it's the best we got"
Meatlug turns towards Hookfang "Guess you have to deal with the egoistic one"
Hookfang just shrugs "no worries, I was kinda hoping to get him once I saw Hiccup and toothless, he looks really fun to annoy"
Snotlout had puffed his chest, but deflated it when he heard the end and grumbles
"which dragon do we get?" the twins ask
"ask them yourself" said Hiccup
"I'll take that boy" said Meatlug, looking towards Fishlegs "I like his personality and nature" she finished, Fishlegs jumps excitedly
"I'll go with the blond girl with blue eyes" Stormfly said looking at Astrid "her combat style and skills match mine" Astrid smiled at her and raised her fist in the air in victory
"guess that leaves us two" said Barf
"to partner with you two" finished Belch, both looking at the twins
"awesome!" exclaimed the twins
"ENOUGH!" Mildew exclaimed furiously, standing up and glaring at the teens, beside him Foongus makes noise
"what's the problem Mildew?" asked Agnar
"them" Mildew said, pointing his staff towards the teens "Stoick's boy had already betrayed the tribe and sided with the dragons, and now the others have also gone along with him" he exclaimed furiously "for 300 years, seven generations of warriors sacrificed them for the better of berk. These teens have betrayed us" he finished angrily, all the teens parents stand up
"Mildew, the dragons are only doing this cus their forced to" Spitelout tried to reason, Mildew only scoffed "and if the kids don't come on the dragons for help, we may perish on the island-"
"so what" Mildew cut him off "don't tell you need a bunch of kids for your protection" he said angering Spitelout "instead of defending those traitors you all should be executing them"
"watch your words Mildew" Ingrind warned "your talking about our kids"
Mildew scoffs again "so what, I don't see a reason to be this attached to something that you can replace in 9 months"
That did it. The parents lost their patience and charged at him, only to be blocked by the barrier still around them
"ok-ok everyone calm down" Param said trying to cool everyone's anger "just calm down- no stop- theres no need to- Hey!" he exclaimed looking at Valka who and just punched Mildew in the face knocking him to the floor
Mildew looks up at her enraged "What's your problem woman!"
Valka raises her fist for another blow… but can't as Param uses his powers to stop her and makes sit back at her seat "everyone, just stay calm please" he said and turned to Mildew "I suggest you apologise"
Mildew scoffs again "I'm not saying a single apology to any of those little-" was all he could say, before Param gags him and ties him with his chair
Param sighs and shakes his head before turning to the teens and their parents "let's just continue watching" everyone agrees, after glaring at and saying some NICE words to mildew
EXT. DRAGON ISLAND – DAY CLOSE ON Tree trunks, being sharpened and planted into the sand at angled rows. 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."
GOBBER "And my undies. Good thing I brought extras."
Everyone makes a throwing up face
Stoick TURNS to face the men. STOICK "No matter how this ends, it ends today."
"Famous last words" said Savage, earning everyone's glare
He walks toward the base of the volcano wall, back by several hundred warriors. He raises his arm and drops it.
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.
"come on… get there quickly" muttered Hiccup
Stoick pulls his hammer and rushes into the cave, brazen. 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.
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!"
"oh were SO wrong" groaned Spitelout
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.
"he's realised that somethings wrong" grumbled a random Scaldron
STOICK "This isn't over. Form your ranks! Hold together!" 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.
Everyone is shocked at seeing that things full size, it's literally as big as a mountain
GOBBER "Beard of Thor...what is that?"
"The red death" muttered the dragons
STOICK (aghast) "Odin help us." (beat) "Catapults!"
Viggo scoffs "ya like that will work"
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.
VIKING #3 "Get to the ships!"
"NO DON'T!" shouted a horrified Hiccup
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.
"Oh no! TOOTHLESS!" shouted Hiccup
GOBBER "Heh. Smart, that one."
Stoick looks up and down the beach for an answer. STOICK (guilt-ridden) "I was a fool."
Stoick scoffs "YA THINK!" he said, much to everyone's amusement
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 Spitelout
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!"
Spitelout pales "Stoick, don't to something crazy"
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 grins "Then I can double that time"
Gobber removes Stoick's hand. Clenches his forearm, determined. GOBBER "Then I can double that time." Stoick grins. Friends to the bitter end.
Thor chuckles "best friends to the bitter end"
"let's just hope that bitter end doesn't come yet" muttered Agnar, under his breadth
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...
"DAD! NO!" Hiccup shouted
'STOICK!' mental shouted Valka
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 takes a sigh of relief "oh thank Thor…."
Valka Also Sighs 'perfect timing son'
Hiccup leads, with Astrid clinging to his waist. 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!"
HICCUP "Up, let's move it!" The dragons climb past the Red Death.
"looks like the group has a new leader" Said Ingrind
ON THE GROUND Gobber hobbles over to Stoick. GOBBER "Every bit of boar-headed, stubborn Viking you ever were." Stoick is speechless.
"wow" said Hiccup "I don't think I've ever seen dad speechless before" be finished surprised
"aye" said Bertha "the only other time he was speechless, was the first time he saw your mother"
Valka smiles at the memory
IN THE AIR The group circles over the dragon's head. HICCUP "Fishlegs, break it down."
Fishlegs jumps in excitement, finally someone needs his dragon knowledge!
FISHLEGS "Okay. Heavily armored skull and tail made for bashing and crushing."
(MORE) FISHLEGS (CONT'D)
"Steer clear of both. Small eyes, large nostrils. Relies on hearing and smell."
HICCUP "Okay. Lout, Legs, hang in its blind spot. Make some noise, keep it confused."
"Got it!" they said in unison
"Ruff, Tuff, find out if it has a shot limit."
"Alright!" said the twins in unison
Their father raised an eyebrow "how are they suppose to-"
"Make it mad."
He realises "ah, that's how"
"he's understanding the groups strength and using it to their advantage" said Mala "now that's true leader ship"
RUFFNUT "That's my specialty."
TUFFNUT "Since when? Everyone knows I'm more irritating. See." (irritating sounds)
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!"
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!" 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."
"oh, just perfect!" said Hiccup sarcastically
ON HICCUP AND ASTRID ... searching for Toothless. Hiccup spots him among the burning ships.
HICCUP "There!" 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.
"What are you doing!" exclaimed Toothless, looking at Hiccup
"Saving your butt" he replied
HICCUP (CONT'D) (to Astrid) "Go help the others!" She and the Nadder take off.
Astrid's hand intertwines her hand with Hiccup's "Don't you dare die on me" she murmurs
As Hiccup fights his way to Toothless. He unbuckles the muzzle. Toothless shrieks. 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."
"um ya…. But aren't you forgetting that your also on dragons!" Atali exclaimed
PAN DOWN to reveal that the noise is also confusing the Gronckle and the Monstrous Nightmare. Both dragons lose their bearings. 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 "Aghh!"
Fishleg's 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."
Some people chuckle at this
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. SNOTLOUT (CONT'D) "What's wrong buddy, got something in your eye?"
"good job… for once" muttered Astrid
Astrid flies by on her Nadder, catching Snotlout in all his heroics. ASTRID "Yeah! You're the Viking!"
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!"
Spitelout facepalms "wrong thing to say Astrid" he muttered
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...
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.
Everyone pales, "HICCUP! TOOTHLESS!" were shouted all around the room
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.
"no….." gasps Astrid
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.
"oh thank Thor" exclaimed Astrid
"what about Toothless?" questioned Heather
HICCUP (overwhelmed) "Dad..."
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. BOOM! In an explosion of sea water, Toothless lands on the shore, setting Stoick down and releasing him. Hiccup is awed.
Everyone takes a sigh of relief "thanks for the safe dad" said Hiccup smiling
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."
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 beams, taken aback. HICCUP "Thanks dad."
Hiccup and Stoick exchange smiles "THIS is when I say 'I told you so'"
Valka smiles 'good thing you fixed everything Stoick… but I'm still smacking you in the head!'
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. 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 "I'm on it!" TUFFNUT "I'm on it!"
RUFFNUT "I'm on it first! I'm ahead of you."
Snotlout facepalms "same dragon you idiots, just come and save me already"
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."
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.
Agnar and Ingrind pale "ASTRID!"
ON THE GROUND The Vikings watch with dread. They hear the familiar whir of the...
GOBBER "Night Fury! Get down!"
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.
Everyone takes a sigh of relief "you're a life saver" Astrid said, looking at Hiccup
HICCUP "Did you get her?" Toothless grunts. 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."
And that was the second last chapter. This time for sure I promise, this one would have been the last, but then it would have like 6000-7000 words and that's just WAY too long (even for me) so please just be patient. The final chapter of the movie will be posted within this week (4236 words btw)
