Review
yamihikari2104 : (had to translate to understand) thanks for the enthusiasm, wait no more and see the beginning of Mildew's life as a traitor (Spanish translation just in-case you don't speak English) gracias por el entusiasmo, no esperes más y verás el comienzo de la vida de Mildiw como traidor
Lucasdiaz9000: 1) no idea
2) well I didn't use this 100%, but this did inspire a lot and most it was used, to thanks for suggesting as always
Disclaimer: I don't own how to train your dragon
" In Dragons We Trust" Param replied
"I'm not even gonna guess what that means" Gustav said shaking his head
"then let's just-" Thor started, but was cut off buy Ruffnut
"hold on" Ruffnut said narrowing her eyes on Param "your clothes are different!?" she shouted, everyone else also realised
"you guys just realised?" Param replied raising an eyebrow
"when did you do that, you've been here the entire time" Spitelout asked utterly confused
"like this" Param said and snapped his fingers. His T-shirt changes into a white hoodie with a green 'S' shaped logo on it (A.N. GO TEAM SKY!) and his trousers turned in green shorts. Everyone's eyes widen. He snaps his fingers again, this time his hoodie turns into a black shirt with the sentence 'world champ difference' imprinted in yellow text (review and tell if you got the references, and even if you don't still review), with blue jeans. He snaps his fingers again and turns to his original clothe (Pikachu t-shirt and crimson trousers)
"okaaaaayyy then, just when I was starting think we've seen the weirdest it can get" Hiccup said, and looked back at the screen as the episode begins
(Hiccup falls through the sky, relaxed)
And immediately everyone tenses up….. well, at-least the good guys/girls did
"why are you falling from the sky, and looking relaxed doing so!?" Valka immediately asked her son
"I-I do-don't kno-w-w, bu-u-ut I'm sure the-e-res a good-d reads-son" Hiccup gave replied stuttering like a mess
Hiccup (v.o.): " As you fly through life it's always good to know who you can trust... and who you can't."
"good life lesson… but do you have to give it while falling to your death!?" Astrid couldn't help shouting out
(Toothless catches him in the air)
Hiccup: "Nice catch, bud. A little close..."
Everyone takes a sigh of relief "there better be a good reason behind this" Astrid muttered under her breath
Hiccup (v.o.): "I know I can always count on Toothless . And it's important for him to know... that no matter what... he can count on me."
Toothless licks Hiccup in positive, already forgetting about the 'Torch incident'
Hiccup: (Talking to Fishlegs) "It's your turn. Jump!"
Fishlegs : "I don't want to jump! I-!"
Hiccup: "You have to believe she's gonna catch you! It's a trust exercise."
" trust exercise" Snotlout worded-out "YOUR MAKING US JUMP OFF OUR DRAGON'S BACK MID-AIR TO SEE IF WE CAN TRUST THEM!?" he shouted and glared at Hiccup
"Hiccup have you gone mad!" Bertha asked, all people in group asking the same in one way or another
"in my defence-" Hiccup was cut off by Astrid punching him "ouch! Oh forget it I'm defenceless"
"good" Astrid said and added "so stop doing these stupid suicidal stunts"
"nope" Astrid raised her fist again "it's unhonourable to attack someone defenceless" he quickly said, and smirked as Astrid's eyes widen and she groans
"smartass" she mutters in irritation, which is reduced the next second as Hiccup kisses her
Fishlegs: "I like to do my trusting on the ground, thank you very much!"
"Don't be scared, I've got you, go for it!" Meatlug cheered on
"ya guys, we'll always be there to catch you guys when you fall" Hookfang said confidently
Snotlout : "Like this, chicken-legs. WHOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!" (Snotlout falls off Hookfang. Hookfang flies on, seemingly oblivious that his rider just fell off his back)
"HOOKFANG!" everyone in the group shouted as said dragon winces
Tuffnut : "So... should we mention something to Hookfang?"
Ruffnut : "Let me sleep on it."
Astrid : "Hookfang! Get him!"
(Hookfang realises Snotlout fell and dives after him)
Snotlout: (Falling through the air.) "Not feeling the trust!"
"quickly catch me before I die!" Snotlout said in distress
(Hookfang catches Snotlout very close to the ground, but is not able to pull up in time)
Snotlout: "AH! COMIN' IN TOO HOT! AHH!"
(Snotlout and Hookfang crash through a familiar roof)
Hiccup immediately recognises the roof and groans "oh no"
Stoick does the same coming to the same conclusion
Snotlout: "Mildew!" (Snotlout and Hookfang frantically shoot out of the hole in Mildew's roof they just made, but the damage was done)
"mah house" Mildew shouted in anger, and turned to the jorgensons glaring "look what yer idiotic son did!"
Spitelout was about to counter but Bertha stopped him, even though she hated Mildew, in this instance it was Snotlout's fault so she didn't want to start unnecessary fighting
Mildew: "You'll pay for this!"
Hiccup: "Oh, something tells me we're gonna hear about this..."
"oh you'll hear about it alright" Stoick scoffed "knowing Mildew, he'll make me hear about"
(Later that evening in the Haddock House , Stoick, looking mad, puts a shingle down on the table)
Hiccup: "Shingle again? Didn't we have roofing material for dinner last night?"
[Hiccup chuckles nervously, but Stoick just glares at him in anger.]
"why do you always use sarcasm?" Astrid couldn't help asking
"cus it's my first language" Hiccup replied nervously
"isn't that your best quality?" Fishlegs raised an eyebrow
"that's sass" he corrected awkwardly
Astrid facepalms "I'm dating a complete dork"
"and you wouldn't change me a bit" Hiccup said much more confidently
Astrid smiles at him and kisses him "not even 1%"
Hiccup: "It was an accident, Dad. I'm sure Mildew's making it sound worse than it is."
Stoick : "A dragon and a huge, obnoxious boy crashed through his roof... twice!"
"twice?" Heather raised an eyebrow
"on their way out they made the hole in the roof bigger" Hiccup confirmed "so unfortunately he's right on that"
Mildew scoffs "of-course I'm right. And I was even more right about the dra-" he said before Param gagged him…..again
Hiccup: "Well, sure, it sounds bad if you're gonna... stick to the facts."
Stoick: "Of all the houses on the island, a dragon had to crash through Mildew's! You know he hates dragons more than anyone else!"
"which really begs the question how Snotlout manage to fall on his house out of every house in the village" Heather commented
"cus he's Snotlout. Only he can manage to screw up that bad" Astrid answered
Hiccup: "I know...You might wanna talk to him about his attitude."
Mildew grumbles angrily against his gag
Stoick: "Listen to me, Hiccup. I gave you the responsibility of training those dragons. Everyone knows that! All eyes are upon you son. Whatever those beasts do reflects on you. And whatever you do reflects on me."
Hiccup sighs "you're right dad, we'll need to be more careful"
Stoick nods "aye, especially till Mildew will stay alive"
Hiccup: "I'm sorry, Dad. You're right."
Stoick: "You and your friends are gonna go back to Mildew's and fix that roof. Without your dragons!"
Hiccup: "Got a break there, bud."
Stoick: Ah! Not so fast! Aren't you forgetting something? (Takes off his boots and hands them to Hiccup) "It's Boot Night ! They need to be aired out."
All the teens groan and make gagging noises
"what's boot night?" Atali asked
"putting the boots outside so they are aired out and don't smell" Spitelout explained
"I still say it needs more than air" Hiccup groaned
Hiccup: "UGH! I think it's going to take more than air."
(Hiccup puts Stoick's boots outside their door, while the other Dragon Riders are doing the same)
Fishlegs: "Uck. I hate boot night!"
Tuffnut: "Why is his left foot always so much smellier than his right?"
Snotlout: Oh, no... (almost throws up)
"hey, we didn't get to see Astrid" Heather pointed out
Param just shrugs "boss decides what's to be shown and what's not"
(The villagers' boots disappear during the night. The next morning they discover them missing)
"what th- who's stealing all the boots!?" Mrs. Ingerman asked, many others doing the same
Stoick: (Reaches for his boots outside the door.) "Where are my boots?"
(Gobber, Mulch, and Bucket walk up bare foot)
Stoick: "Where are your boots?"
Gobber : "They've all been stolen! Every last one!"
Bucket : "Oh! That explains why me feet are so cold."
"Hooray! Mistry solved" Bucket cheered, everyone just facepalmed or sighed
Mulch : "Who could have done such a thing?"
Mildew: "All I know is that they left a mighty big footprint." (Points at dragon footprints in the snow with his cane)
"those are dragon footprints" Drago recognised
Fishlegs: "Oh! Those are Hideous Zippleback tracks. You can tell by the half-moon shaped arches. That's Dragon 1O1 guys, I don't gotta fill you in on that."
"Fishlegs… please start thinking before you start spewing out dragon facts" Valka said politely yet firmly
Hiccup: "So, a dragon walked through here - a Zippleback, according to my friend, Fishlegs. But that doesn't mean he took everyone's boots."
Mildew: "Well, there's just one way to find out. Follow the footprints."
(Everyone follows the footprints to the Arena , where Barf and Belch are sleeping covered in the villagers' boots)
"SEE! Those mindless destructive beasts took all our boots" Mildew shouted, trying to rile up a crowd, while the teens and Stoick wince
"oh boy" Hiccup groaned
Hiccup: "So there's a bunch of boots piled around a Zippleback. That doesn't mean- Okay, fine, he took the boots."
Viking #1: "How are we supposed to do any work in this weather without our boots?"
Viking #2: "This is outrageous!"
Mildew: "Now, how long before something's done about these creatures, Stoick? How much more can we stand?!"
"he's got a point there"
"our feet will freeze over in that weather"
"truly outrageous"
Most Berkian's started making such remarks
"oh stop over reacting!" Gobber suddenly shouted, getting everyone's attention " oh! My feet are cold! Oh no! we live on an island where it snows for 9 months and hails for the other 3! If you can't withstand cold feet then you've got no luck of surviving the winter!" Gobber deadpanned, causing everyone who was complaining to blush in embarrassment
Gobber: "Listen to yourselves. 'My feet are cold!' You're Vikings! Everything is cold! I'll fix your boots for ya. You'll be back to work in no time."
Stoick: "You all heard Gobber. You'll be getting your boots back as good as new."
"see, problem solved" Stoick said
Mildew scoffs "the problem are those god forsaken beasts, it'll be a problem till you get rid of them"
" Mildew" Stoick groaned "they just took our boots, stop overreacting so much"
"even that doesn't make sense" Valka interjected "A Zippleback doesn't just steal boots, something doesn't add u-"
"shut it woman!" Mildew cut her off "yer just a crazy viking who took shelter from those demons, no wonder yer son turned into a traitor" he furiously spewed out, everyone looks at him wide eyed
Stoick stands up glaring at Mildew "watch your tone Mildew, that's your chieftess your talking to" he threatened, each word lanced with venom
Mildew scoffs again "she stopped being my chieftess when she took side with the dragons." He then looked at Stoick thoughtfully "you should also be careful before you let her back in Stoick, who knows…. In the last 15 years, how many men she's slept with…."
And that did it. Hiccup tried to jump out of his seat, but Astrid grabbed him. Stoick and Cloudjumper on the other hand furiously charged at Mildew, but are cut short by an explosion in their way
Param jumps in-front of them "calm down you two, I'll deal with him"
Reluctantly, they both back down to their seats-after a lot of effort by Valka and Gobber-while Param turns to Mildew
"do you have a death wish" he asked seriously at this point
"first, I have the right to voice mah opinion in-front of my tribe. Second, as you said I can't be killed" Mildew answered confidently
Param narrows his eyes " first, this is not your village, this is my sub-dimension theatre, so the only rights you have are the ones I give you. And second" Param punches his stomach causing him to shout in pain "like I said before, your immortal not invincible so behave else I'll let them beat the crap out of you, clear?" he threated, with anger, annoyance and authority present in his voice, Mildew looks at him but doesn't say anything " AM. I. CLEAR?" Param practically growled causing every living creature in the room to shudder
"y-ye-yes" Mildew mumbled in-though he'll never admit-fear
"good" Param said and returned to his seat
"wow, didn't think he had that in him" Ruffnut comments
Loki nods "hey may be a cool guy that shrugs thing off easily, but if you ever step out of your boundaries then he'll make sure to put you back in them"
Mildew: "That's it? No consequence for these dragons?"
Stoick: "They took our boots, Mildew. The world isn't coming to an end!"
Mildew: "Oh, don't be so sure. Dragons are wild beasts. There's no telling what else they'll do behind our sleeping backs."
Hiccup: "They don't destroy things on purpose!"
Mildew wanted to resort, but considering how Param had just threatened him, he decided to stay quite for now
Mildew: "Bah!"
Hiccup: "But you do have a point, Mildew."
Everyone in the room-including Hiccup-blinks "wait what?"
Mildew: "Uh-whuh?"
Hiccup: (Raises voice to address crowd.) "They are wild animals. And they need us to keep an eye on them. And rest assured we will do just that!" (Whispers to Barf and Belch, annoyed.) "Will you get out of there?" (The dragon leaves the Arena)
Hookfang scoffs "no we don't"
Hiccup sighs "I know, but given what just happened that's not exactly something I can argue at the moment" he explained genuinely, while Valka was still thinking-aside from the million ways to torture Mildew for the accusation-about the odd nature of Barf and Belch
(Scene switches to the large catapult on Berk, where the Dragon Riders are standing)
Hiccup: "We're going on night patrol."
Tuffnut: "Night patrol! I love it!... What is it?"
Everyone either snorts or chuckles
Hiccup: "It's where we patrol... at night. To keep an eye on the Dragons. Make sure they don't get blamed for anything else."
Fishlegs: "Um, have you cleared this with our parents? Because some of us might not be allowed out after a certain hour."
Mr. Ingermen raises an eyebrow "what do mean 'not allowed out after a certain hour', we haven't put any time restrictions for you to follow" he asked his son in confusion
Snotlout: "Not allowed? Or afraaaaid?"
Fishlegs: "Hey! Things happen after dark."
"ah, that explains" he concluded
Heather giggles "scared of the dark?" she asked her adorably cute husky friend (A.N. her description not mine)
Fishlegs blushes in embarrassment "sorry"
"hey, it's alright, everyone's scared of something" she assured making him smile, Hiccup and Astrid watch the scene unfold and share a knowing smile
Hiccup: "Guys! We have to do this. You heard Mildew. He wants the Dragons banished."
"then let's just banish him, simple" Tuffnut suggested
"ya, it's not like anyone will miss him" Ruffnut agreed
"you know… that's not a bad idea….." Snotlout said, pretending to think when really he just wanted to beat up Mildew
"GUYS!" Hiccup shouted getting their attention "we are not banishing anyone!" all three groan but don't say anything
Ruffnut: "Permission to shoot first and ask questions later?"
Tuffnut: "Permission to skip the question?"
"we can do that instead if you li-" Ruffnut tried to salvage the idea
"NO!"
Hiccup: "We're just patrolling! No one is shooting anyone!"
Tuffnut: "I have a question. What's fun about that?!"
Astrid: "It's not supposed to be fun. It's a Hiccup idea."
Hiccup: "Exactly. What?"
Everyone laughs at this
Hiccup looks at Astrid " really?"
"so…..sorry…..but…t..hey…it's …..tru…true….." Astrid supplied between her laughs, Hiccup just shakes his head exaggerated
(That evening, the Dragon Riders patrol the village and visit with villagers. Astrid and Snotlout wear a sash that says "D.U.M.B")
Astrid: (Knocks on a neighbor's door.) "Hello, sir!" (Sees the neighbor's face.) "Ah, umm, ah-ma'am. My name is Astrid, and I'm with the Dragon United Monitoring Brigade ."
Woman: "D.U.M.B?"
Almost everyone facepalms "why would we name it dumb of all things?" Astrid groaned out
"not that surprising considering the naming in-charge named a Nightfury Toothless" Agnar stated with a sigh as Hiccup blushes
"well…. Would it be surprising if the naming in-charge happen to have named a Gronckle Meatlug" Param asked innocently looking into the book
"wait….. so Fishface named it dumb" Snotlout asked sounding shocked
Param hummed "because of Toothless's name being… well, Toothless, everyone decided to let Fishlegs choose since no one else really cared about the name, and well… we can see the result" everyone just groaned, while Hiccup internally cheered that he didn't come up with the dumb name
Astrid:" Yes. That is correct. Not my idea... But it is easy to remember. If you have any dragon-related problems, contact us. Just cup a hand on either side of your mouth and at the top of your lungs yell..." (Woman shuts the door on her face.) "DUMB."
Mildew scoffs "like anyone will ever do that" the group glared at him, but couldn't exactly say he was wrong
(Scene switches to Snotlout elsewhere in the village. Gobber comes out of the darkness)
Snotlout: "Halt! Who goes there?!"
"yer great grandmother's third husband's fourth uncle" Gobber replied sarcastically, causing everyone to laugh while Snotlout grumbles
Gobber: "Take a wild guess."
Snotlout: "I don't think I like your attitude."
Gobber: "Right back at ya."
"hey! Show some respect would ya" Snotlout exclaimed
Snotlout: "Yeah... but I'm the one with the sash."
Gobber: "Let me take a closer look at that." (Inspects Snotlout's sash.) " D.U.M.B? Well, that suits you."
Everyone laughs "I think yer done here" Gobber told Snotlout
"No I'm not" Snotlout huffs out
Snotlout "Okay, I think we're done here."
"or….maybe I am" he changed his response, causing even more laughter
(Scene changes to Fishlegs and Meatlug walking down the street. The Twins are hiding while they make scary shadows on the ground)
Fishlegs: "Oh! What was that?" (Sees shadows. Then sees a dragon shadow as Hookfang appears behind the Twins. Both Fishlegs and Meatlug run away. Hookfang moves on before the Twins realize he was there)
Everyone laughs yet again, while Fishlegs and Meatlug blush
Tuffnut: "Whoa..."
Ruffnut: "Whoa."
Both: "Did you see me scare him?"
Ruffnut: "No, I scared him!"
Tuffnut: "No, I scared him!"
Ruffnut: "No me!"
Tuffnut: "No, no, no! Hey! Ugh!"
Ruffnut: "It was me! I did it!"
Tuffnut: "Clearly me!"
"no! he was scared of me!" Ruffnut punched Tuffnut
"No! he was scared of me!" Tuffnut kicks back
"NO! ME!"
" NO! ME!"
"actually I scared him" Hookfang interjected
The twins scoff "no me!"
Tired of the nonsense Param shot an RPG on the roof to silence them 'I'm gonna run out ammo by end of this at this rate'
(Scene changes over to Hiccup on Toothless flying over the village)
Hiccup: "Well, Mildew will be happy to know what dragons do at night: they sleep, like everyone else."
(Meanwhile, someone or something enters the empty Great Hall and slashes up tapestries, walls, and pillars during the night)
Everyone went wide eyed "the heck-" Hiccup exclaimed
(The next morning the villagers find the damage)
Stoick: "Who could have done such a thing?"
Fishlegs: "Oh, it looks like a dragon to me!"
The group groans while Mildew smirks
Hiccup: "We don't know for sure, Fishlegs..."
Fishlegs: "Sure, we do. Look at these claw marks. It was obviously a Monstrous Nightmare . The spacing of the talons is dead on."
Astrid breaths in and out to calm herself "Fishlegs… we know you like dragon facts…. BUT CAN YOU PLEASE STOP GIVING MILDEW MORE AMMUNITION TO FIRE BACK AT US!" she screamed at the end losing her calm
Fishlegs jumps at the burst "uh- um- s-so-sorry"
Hiccup: (Sarcastic) "Once again, thank you, Fishlegs!"
Fishlegs: "Oh, stop, it's just basic stuff."
Astrid: "But how could this happen? We had every dragon accounted for at all times! Right, guys?"
Snotlout: "When you say, at all times, and every dragon, what exactly do you mean?"
The group facepalms "boyo… what did you do?" Spitelout asked through gritted teeth
Hiccup: (Facepalmed in frustration) "Okay, what happened, Snotlout?"
Snotlout: "Well, I was detaining a suspect who wasn't showing sufficient respect to the sash." (Glares at Gobber)
Gobber: "I think I showed sufficient respect to a sash that says D.U.M.B."
"we are so going to have to change that name" Astrid muttered
Astrid: "We've got to change that name.:
Snotlout: "Anyways, as I was questioning said suspect, Hookfang may have, and I'm not saying he did, but it is possible he wandered off for a few..."
Ruffnut: "Seconds?"
Tuffnut: "Minutes?"
Snotlout: "Hours."
Everyone groans
Tuffnut: "Oh, that's way longer than minutes."
"there it is again! Those foul beasts have destroyed the great hall!" Mildew shouted, riling up some Berkian's "all because you listened to yer boy and those stupid, careless teens"
"he does have a point Stoick" Ack suddenly said "Snot couldn't keep and eye on his dragon and he rampaged the hal-"
"no he didn't" Valka cut him off, immediately getting everyone's attention "when a Monstruous nightmare gets angry, or goes on a rampage, it ignites it's body on fire, and as we just saw the great hall didn't have a single scorch mark" the Berkian's eyes widen, that did make sense
Mildew scoffs "stop making stupid excuses woman! Yer just trying to save yer traitor son and his friends"
Valka narrows her eyes on him "all I'm doing is supply reasonable logic"
"while I couldn't care less about this situation, I do have to agree with her" Viggo suddenly stated, surprising everyone
"mind yer own business dragon lover" Mildew scowled, Viggo just looked at him coldly and smirked
"I'm not a dragon lover old man, I'm a business man who trades dragons and dragon goods. I'm just voicing out my thoughts to shed some light on the situation" he explained and looked back at the screen
Seeing that the man also hated dragons, Mildew decided to accept the logic and quite down….. for now
'you know I can tell your doing this so that Hiccup drops his guard around you' Param mentally told Viggo
'even if just an act, I technically helped him and he owes me, seeing as he's prideful about his decisions it will still help me in the long run' Viggo mentally replied, not knowing that Param had connected Hiccup's mind and he was able to hear the conversation
Mildew: (Bursts into the Great Hall.) "Oh, no, it's true! The Great Hall! So many memories. My three weddings, their three funerals. Oh, the funerals!"
"is it just me….. or does he sound more happy at the mention of funerals then he was at the mention of weddings" Throk asked with a raised eyebrow
Gobber: "A dragon must have gone on a rampage. I hate to say it, Stoick, but you're going to have to-"
Stoick: "I know what has to be done, Gobber."
Mildew: "So do I!"
Stoick: "Starting tonight, every night, I want all the dragons put in the Academy under lock and key."
"that's it!?" Mildew instantly questioned, deciding that barely 45 seconds of silence was enough for him
"that's a fare punishment for the damage that's been done" Stoick stated confidently "no viking was harmed, and the damage overall is fixable and not permanent" he reasoned, which the entire tribe found fare…. Except Mildew of-course
He-to no one's surprise-scoffs "forget reasonable, they should be casted out from the island for what they did"
Stoick rolled his eyes and sighed in exaggeration "Mildew, there is no need to over-react like that. Plus, as Val and that hunter-Viggo was it-stated, the dragons did not-"
"oh! Will remove that love-struct blindfold you have on your eyes and open them you brainless idiot" Mildew suddenly exploded and stood up, shocking everyone with the sudden outburst
Stoick narrowed his eyes on him (A.N. I may have gotten carried away with how many eyes I narrowed this chapter) "watch your tone Mildew"
" you watch yourself Stoick! Yer wife and son are both traitors for siding with those foul beasts along with the rest of those stupid worthless teens!" Mildew just continued to shout, not even caring what he's saying or who he' saying it to
"dragons are not foul beasts" Mala interjected, having heard enough of the baseless accusations from the dragon hater
Atali nodded "they are in-fact marvellous creatures Mildew, I suggest you change your idioli-"
"I don't need any suggestions from sluts like yourselves" Mildew sneered, causing them both to stand up and glare at him along with Throk
"what did you say?" Throk growled
"you heard me, that's what you all are when compared to true Vikings like us" Mildew mocked back
"Mildew…" Hiccup quickly interjected "your not thinking about what your saying, I-I know you don't like dragons, but that doesn't mean you can just say things like that to someone, especially when you don't even know that person" Hiccup talked calmly, trying to get his point across "I know you don't like dragons but you need to understand that the war was the red deaths fault entirely, you need to get over your hatred for dragons, because there not the problem here"
Mildew eyed Hiccup for a bit before calmly stating "maybe your right, dragons are not the problem" causing the group to take a sigh of relief…. Before he shouted " you are the problem!" making everyone jump at the sudden outburst "you have always been nothing but trouble! Even your birth being early and during the winter had caused so much tension in the entire village, and even after surviving you turned out to be the most utterly useless and worthless Viking in the existence of Midgard! You don't have the strength to fight off someone younger then you, you can't properly hold a weapon for more than 5 minutes, and when you couldn't keep your own against the foul demons our tribe had dedicated to destroy, you sided with them and brought them to live with us!" he spewed out in anger, each word laced with venom "banishing the dragons solves the current problem….. but that wouldn't be a problem if you weren't in the picture! YOUR FATHER SHOULD HAVE DISOWNNED YOU AND SOLD YOU OFF AS A SLAVE TO SOME RANDOM TRIBE! SO YOU COULD ATLEAST BE OF SOME USE OR WORTH!" he finished, his final statement causing everyone to gasp
Hiccup in particular freezes at his words, not only because of the reminder of his father disowning him, or because of the reminder of his past failures. But because he knew that runts or hiccups were usually treated as slaves by other Vikings, he had always had a fear of the same happening to him, and believed that Berk being against slavery was the only reason he hadn't faced the same outcome. And the fear had always been in his mind
Meanwhile behind him, his girlfriend, friends, parents, all their dragons and the rest of the Berkian population was fuming with anger. Not only did most of the people admit their stupidity and like Hiccup for who he is now, but also the fact that Mildew suggested something like this, while knowing that Berk has been against slavery for the last 4 generations had really angered everyone beyond they could describe
Param just pinched his nose bridge and closed his eyes at Mildew stupidity 'not even Odin himself can save this idiot from what's to come'
Looking at the other Berkians fuming with anger seemed to have dawned the realisation of what he just said on Mildew. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but could only scream as Astrid's axe was imbedded into his chest
"HOW DARE YOU!" she growled as she and everyone else charged forward at Mildew for what he said, resulting in the start of a mass beat-up session, that even the dragons and non-Berkians had joined
(5 hours later)
After 5 painfully long hours (for Mildew at-least) everyone had finally calmed down
After the first hour of beating up Mildew, Hiccup's family and friends had noticed that Hiccup was just standing still while bareley blinking. Realising that Mildew's words had caused a deeper impact on Hiccup's mind, they focused on consoling him instead of beating Mildew. There was some crying but other than that everything was alright
Now everyone was back in their seats, except Param who was emitting his green healing light on Mildew
"and done" he said as he finished Healing Mildew "let that be a lesson on knowing what to speak and when to speak, and try to avoid this situation again k?"
Mildew just scoffs weakly, Param's ability healed the wounds but didn't get rid of the pain so he still couldn't speak very well
Param sighs shaking his head "some things can never change" he muttered as he got back to his seat
Mildew: "What? That's it? Look what they did!"
Hiccup: "This just doesn't make any sense! A dragon wouldn't just come in here and destroy the place! I mean, none of the food was even touched!"
"oh right, we were dealing with this nonsense before the Mildew nonsense" Snotlout remembered as the episode-finally-continued
Stoick: "I don't know why dragons do what they do, but I'm not going to let them do any more damage."
(Scene changes to the Dragon Riders flying overhead to the Arena with Stoick and Gobber looking on below)
Gobber: "You had to cage the Dragons, Stoick. You had no choice."
Stoick: "I know. But to Hiccup, when I punish them, I'm punishing him."
Gobber: "Yeah, that boy thinks the dragons can do no wrong."
Stoick: "I just hope he understands that while a father does what's best for his son, a Chief must do what's best for the village."
Hiccup sighs, but smiles at his father "it's alright dad, I understand"
Stoick smiles back "I'm glad you do"
(The Riders are in the Arena, putting the dragons to bed in the cages there)
Fishlegs: (Singing to the tune of 'Hush Little Baby') "Sleep, little Meatlug in your bed, where yummy little boulders dance in your head." (Meatlug rejects sadly.) "That usually works! Our whole bedtime routine is upset! She won't even lick my feet, thanks to-"
Snotlout: "Watch it, Fishlegs! At least my dragon doesn't need a lullaby and a blanky."
Ruffnut: "Actually, it's your fault that all our dragons have to sleep in jail."
Tuffnut: "Yeah. You don't see our dragon going on a rampage and wrecking stuff." (Barf and Balch smash a wooden box.) "Well, not any good stuff."
"looks like everyone is getting frustrated at the situation" Ingrind concluded
Hiccup: "I don't think a dragon wrecked the Great Hall or stole the boots."
Astrid: "None of us wants to believe it either, Hiccup, but you saw the proof."
Hiccup: "What proof? You saw the footprints, too. They were supposed to be made by a Zippleback, but they were no deeper than mine. Look at these!" (gestures to the deep footprint in snow) "I could lie down in them!"
Fishlegs: "Well, there could be a lot of explanations why a dragon made shallow footprints."
Ruffnut: "Like, hello, he was trying to be sneaky?"
"are you guys on our side or Mildew's side" Hiccup asked sarcastically, really annoyed by now
Astrid: "Alright. Well, how do you explain the Great Hall?"
(Barf and Belch and Hookfang snap at each other. Hookfang flares up in irritation.)
Hiccup: "Snotlout, do something about him , please? We're trying to think over here."
Tuffnut: "Yeah, I gave up thinking. Never been happier."
"you ever tried" Thor asked, causing some snickers
Hiccup: "Snotlout!"
Snotlout: "I'm not the boss of him. He always does that when he gets angry!"
Hiccup: (Sees Hookfang leave a charred footprint on the stone.) "Or goes on a rampage. That's how I can explain the Great Hall! I've got to tell my dad about this!" (Jumps on Toothless and flies out of the arena to find his father)
"looks like Hiccup understood Great Hall not being burnt is fishy" Heather commented
(Scene changes to Hiccup in the Great Hall with Stoick talking to him. It is nighttime. Toothless rests outside the door by himself.)
Hiccup: "Just hear me out, Dad. When a Monstrous Nightmare gets mad, his whole body bursts into flames. Look at these walls! Not one single scorch mark."
Stoick: "Hiccup, until I have solid proof that it was something else, the dragons stay where they are."
(Toothless hears some suspicious knocking in the armory. He goes in to investigate, a Viking sees him enter from his house through a window. He looks and hears the window close, he was about to follow when he sniffs some fire. He turns watch a barrel with a rope on fire half submerged into it like a fuse. The barrel explodes and the entire building catches on fire and Toothless rushes out. The viking sees this and gasps)
Everyone gasps as well
Crowd: "Fire, fire!"
Stoick: "The armory! Grab some buckets!" (Sees Toothless standing nearby.) "Toothless?"
The same Viking who saw him enter: "It was him! He set the armory on fire!"
Viking Woman: "How dare he?"
Hiccup: "Toothless?"
The same viking groans and facepalms "sorry Toothless, I messed up"
Toothless shakes his head "not your fault, from your point of view, anyone would have come to the same conclusion"
(After the fire is put out, everyone laments the loss of armory.)
Stoick: "Every one of our weapons... gone!"
Gobber sniff and sobs "oh! Mah poor poor weapons"
Gobber: " Prudence ! My poor darling, I'm so sorry. You should've had a long, blood-letting life."
Mildew: "She didn't have to die, Gobber. Hiccup's dragon left us utterly defenseless."
Hiccup: "Dad, you know Toothless wouldn't do this."
Mildew: "Sure, listen to your boy, Stoick. That's what got us into this mess!" (Leans in to whisper in Hiccup's ear.) "See what happens when you leave your Dragon all alone to wait outside?"
Hiccup realises something "wait…. How did you know Toothless was outside all alone?" he asked looking at Mildew, the old man didn't respond, already having predicted the truth behind the matter
Hiccup: "What did you say?"
Gobber: " Sadie ! Oh, I guess your throat-slicing days are over."
Stoick: "These dragons have done too much damage. It's not longer safe to have them on Berk. I want them gone."
Stoick groans and facepalms "sorry everyone" he apologised looking at the dragons and teens, they told him that it's not his fault
Hiccup: "WHAT?!"
Mildew: "Finally!"
Stoick: "Round them up, and take them all to Dragon Island ."
[Stoick turns to his people, announcing something that shocks the Dragon Riders]…
Stoick: "By the end of the day tomorrow, there will be no more dragons on Berk !"
[Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs and the Twins gasp, shocked and aghast.]
Mildew: "Oh, what a glorious day that will be. Party at my house! Don't forget, boy. Right after you drop off your dragon, you'll be fixing my roof."
(Mildew leaves, the teens gather looking sad)
Hiccup: "This is wrong..."
Astrid: "I know, it's horrible. It's the worst day of my life..."
Hiccup: "No, Astrid. Something here doesn't add up."
Fishlegs: "All I know is I'm losing my dragon." (he leaves looking sad)
Hiccup: "For now, yeah. Okay, but I-I just need time to fix this."
Snotlout: "What are you talking about? It's over."
Ruffnut: "Forget it, it's over."
Tuffnut: "Yeah, forget it." (they all leave)
"alright, I'll be the one to ask" Param said getting everyone's attention "what's with the quitters attitude? Like I get the situation is bad and all, but why is Hiccup the only one who hasn't given up?"
(The next day, a ship sails to Dragon Island with the Dragon Riders flying overhead. They land on the coastline. Each Rider says goodbye to their dragons.)
Astrid: "I'm gonna miss you ..."
Fishlegs: "Okay, Meatlug. There's plenty of rocks if you get hungry... and don't eat any limestone. You know it doesn't agree with you."
[Fishlegs leaves tearfully. Meatlug cradles over, looking crushed. Snotlout and Hookfang, looking forlorn, say goodbye to each other.]
Snotlout: "Be strong, buddy. I know you're gonna miss me-" (Hookfang runs off chasing a seagull ) "Okay. He's crying... he's crying on the inside!"
All the dragons and teens feel sad looking at the screen
Hiccup: (Removes Toothless' saddle.) "I'll be back for you. I promise. No, bud. You've gotta stay here, and take care of the other dragons. It's gonna be okay, Toothless. Trust me..." (Leaves saddle nearby under a rock)
"you left that their" Atali asked
Hiccup shrugs "not much use on Berk if Toothless isn't on Berk"
(The Dragon Riders sail away from the island on the ship, leaving the dragons behind. Astrid and Hiccup both lean on mast pole)
About the same situation, with difference being that they are snuggling into one-another, with their legs intertwined and Astrid's head leaning on Hiccup's shoulder
Hiccup: "There's something Mildew said that I can't stop thinking about... h-he said, see what happens when you leave your dragon to wait outside? He knew Toothless wasn't with me just before the armory fire."
Astrid: "So...?"
Hiccup: "So... so, he lives on the other side of the island. What was he doing in town? And how would he know where we were before the fire?'
"there's only one way…." Hiccup said, glancing at Mildew
Astrid: "You really think he set that fire?"
Hiccup: "I think he did all of it. And I think he did it so my dad would get rid of all the dragons."
Astrid: "That's a pretty serious accusation. How are you gonna prove it?"
(Scene changes to later where Hiccup is alone at Mildew's house repairing the roof. He slips inside to look around.)
"hey, why is Hiccup all alone" Bertha asked
"Astrid had weapons training with her father, and no one else bothered to show up" Param explained through the book
Hiccup: (Looking at portraits on the wall) "Wife... wife... wife... Hmm... well, Mildew definitely has a type." (shudders]}
Everyone else-including the dragon and the gods-also shudder
[Looks in a pot then gags]
(Hiccup finds a pair of Zippleback foot markers and a Monstrous Nightmare claw )
Everyone gasps, as Mildew smirks
Hiccup: "What the...?"
(Hears Mildew coming and hides)
Mildew: "I'm home, ladies! What's that you say...? Nothing? Perfect."
(Mildew grabs the Zippleback boots and claw stick)
Mildew: "Ah, these served us well, didn't they, Fungus? Shame we have to get rid of them."
(Goes outside and throws them over a cliff into the sea, as Hiccup witnesses it)
Everyone sits in silence at what they just witnessed
Valka turns and glares at Mildew "so it was you who sabotaged the dragons"
"It would seem so" Mildew replied not sounding shamed at what he did
"what do you have to say for yerself" Gobber asked him
Mildew glances at them and smiles "that I proud of myself for righting a wrong"
"you should be ashamed of yourself" Stoick told him coldly "you have left Berk defenceless just to get rid dragons that have done nothing wrong"
"that's yer fault for not fixing the problem quicker" Mildew shot back "you all should worship me for what I did"
Snotlout abruptly stands up "oh I'll worship you alright" he said and went to punch him, was stopped by Param jumping in his way
"Don't" he stopped "I'd say he's got beaten up enough for today" he said and turned to Mildew "I suggest you walk over to the other side of the barrier, for your safety more then anything else" he said and gestured to a part of the barrier that opened to let him through
Mildew walks over to the side of villains…. After grumbling for about a century
Hiccup sighs "well….. that went bad"
"I'm sure we'll fix it in the next one" Astrid assured
"what is the next one" Stoick asked
Param looks at the group and bites his lip 'of all the titles of-course this has to be the one that's not vague'
"well?" Valka asks again when Param doesn't reply
Param takes a sigh before answering " Alvin and the Outcasts"
I really need to do something about getting carried away while writing…. Like seriously, never in a million years thought that this would be the new longest chapter yet (6893 words)
