~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiccup(v.o.): Measuring up to a Viking father isn't easy. Especially when that Viking father is also the Chief of your village.
(Bucket has an uncharacteristic look of intense concentration on his face. He alternates between looking at his work and the father-son duo.)
Hiccup (v.o): So, when you get a chance to prove yourself, you jump on it.
Axel: Shoulder's back, chin up, son! This portrait's gonna hang in this hall forever.
Bucket: No good, no good, no good...
(Bucket, frustrated, steps away from his painting and marches over to Stoick and Hiccup. He rearranges Stoick's beard, adjusts Hiccup's shield, and then throws his arms in the air in a manner of defeat.)
Bucket: I CAN'T DO THIS!
(He turns and runs bucket-first into one of the hall's support beams. He sways for a moment before adjusting the bucket on his head back into place. He is seemingly much calmer.)
Bucket: Okay, I'm good.
Hiccup: I've never seen Bucket like this.
Axel: Well, when he lost half his brain, he suddenly became... (Bucket takes a handful of paints and blows them onto the shield.) an artist.
"How can you lose half a brain" asked Bob.
"It's Bucket! He's special" Hiccup replied to causing Mulch to beam. Bucket was misunderstood and he wished more people could see that.
(Bucket continues to move the paints around with his hand with expertise. He holds out his thumb to his focus and closes one eye to measure proportion.)
Hiccup: So, Bucket can actually paint?
Axel: Oh, he's the best! He's gonna do us proud, son.
(Axel gestures to the wall behind them. Five shields are displayed, each bearing a picture of a past Viking chief standing next to their son.)
Axel: This portrait is gonna take its place along all the other Chiefs and their sons.
(One shield shows a picture of a large Viking chief who resembles Axel quite a bit, standing next to a younger Axel the Noble.)
"I thought Axel was the first Chief of Dragon Isles."
"I am. But we were a different tribe before we were Dragon Isles, that's why some people don't agree with Dragons" Axel clarifies.
Axel: That is the only picture of my father and me. It was a great day.
(Axel breaks from his memories and looks down at Hiccup.)
Axel: And so is this!
"We really need more pictures."
"Agreed."
(They both return to posing for the picture. Axel glances down at Hiccup.)
Axel: Chest out, son!
(Hiccup takes in a gulp of air and tries to expand his chest as much as possible. He holds it for a second before releasing it.)
Hiccup: Yeah, this is as out as it goes, Dad.
This caused a few chuckles which Hiccup blushed to.
"I'm not that scrawny anymore" Hiccup mumbled.
Alvin examined him from his seat "Still look a bit scrawny to me" he said with a grin to which Hiccup replied with a playful glare.
Axel: Ah. Very well, then.
Noell: Look at all these great leaders. And tomorrow, your picture's going to be hanging right next to them!
Snoutlout: There goes the neighborhood.
"Hey!"
Fishlegs: You are part of an elite group now, my friend. And one of the few who wasn't killed by their successor.
"That's pleasant" Gobber stated.
"Not all uncommon though. But let's be honest Hiccup would never kill me" Stoick pointed out.
"Nor could he" snickered Avrid
Axel glared at Berk and Especially Stoick. He was getting on his nerves, and he knew that his son was capable of anything, but his heart is what kept him honorable and not a killer.
Tuffnut: So far
Hiccup: I guess it is a pretty big deal. I mean, it's like... being a part of history, right?
Snotlout: History of goofballs. Heh-heh, what a clown.
Noell hit Snotlout on the back of the head while Astrid glared.
Fishlegs: That is Hamish the First. He was our richest and most revered leader. And his son, Hamish the Second.
Snotlout: "I'm Hamish the First. Bow down before me and kiss my pointy shoes."
"Are you five? Respect the Chiefs" Sneered Astrid causing Snoutlout to roll his eyes. He wasn't a child; he was a man!
Fishlegs: Look what you did to the Hamishes! Forgive us, please!
Tuffnut: What's that? It's probably mine!
Snotlout Looks like some sort of map... with poetry.
Schmidt: I'll take that.
Snotlout: Hey! That's my poetry map!
Schmidt: All of these were supposed to be destroyed.
"Is it dangerous?"
"Is it a treasure map?"
"Why were they supposed to be destroyed?"
"What's so special about it?"
Noell: Why? What's so special about it?
Astrid slightly smiled. She missed when she and her twin were in sync. Speaking at the same time, having the same thoughts, the same goals. Though she won't admit it.
Schmidt: Men lost their limbs, their lives, and their minds trying to find that treasure.
Fishlegs: I've heard about this! The treasure of Hamish the First. His son buried him with it and left this map. They say that the clues are so complicated that only a brilliant mind can decipher them.
"Or someone like Hiccup"
This confused many People. How could a Hiccup find the treasure?
Schmidt: Axel and I even went after this treasure.
"Is that how you lost your hand?"
"Or leg"
Schmidt: It lured us high into the mountains in a blinding snowstorm. We fought like badgers over the meaning of the clues. We were lucky to make it back with our lives... and our friendship intact. For your own good kids, forget you ever saw this.
"Did you really think that would stop them?"
"Nope, but a man can hope right."
(Time skip to everyone gathering in the Great Hall for the portrait reveal)
Axel: Here it comes, son. This is our legacy.
(Bucket pulls off the sheet to reveal the portrait but once Hiccup sees it, he frowns and opens his mouth in shock)
"Now that's more like it!" Stoick exclaimed excitedly which was the last straw for Axel. He got up and punched Stoick right in the face with all his might causing Stoick let out a yelp and held his nose. He let out a huff of satisfaction before sitting back down in his seat. His son was perfect the way he was, and Axel was wrong to paint Hiccup otherwise.
Tuffnut: Whoa. What happened to Hiccup?
Noell: Who cares?
Hiccup: Hey, Bucket? Wh-why am I so... like that?
Gobber chuckled, still as awkward as ever when it comes to talking to people.
Bucket: Why is the sky blue? Why do I have a bucket on me head? We'll never know the answers.
Axel: Oh, you did a brilliant job, Bucket! Don't you think so, son?
Hiccup: But it's not me.
Axel: Sure, it is! It's you but... you know, bigger. Stronger.
Mulch: Now that's the son of a Chief.
"Honestly! You should all be ashamed" scolded Idonia and Thyra. The guilty party was happy to be guilty but also because mothers are a force to be reckoned with and you don't want to anger them.
Axel: You see what I mean?
(Skip to Noell and Hiccup walking through the village together)
Hiccup: Unbelievable. My father likes that painting better than the real me! I mean, think about it. Even my name! You know it's Viking tradition to call the runt of the litter a "hiccup".
Viking: Come on, little Hiccup! Oh! Hey, Hiccup!
Snickers could be heard.
Hiccup: See? What do I have to do to get my father to accept me?
Noell: He does accept you... He just accepts the painting more.
Noell blushed. She needed to work on her pep talks, she was as bad as Gobber and Schmidt
Hiccup: Wh-what are you doing out here...?
Fishlegs: Nothing! Coocoo! Coocoo!
Hiccup: Oh, gods... Okay, where are they?
Fishlegs: Who? Who-hoo! Who-hoo!
Fishlegs: Who-hoo, who-hoo!
Hiccup: What are you doing?!
Snotlout: I've got the map. We're finding that treasure! And you are a horrible look out.
Noell: You heard what Schmidt said. The bravest warriors in history have died trying to find that treasure.
Snotlout: Yeah. And I'm next.
Noell: Well, I personally would like to live to see my next birthday.
"That sounds like a fantastic idea. Why don't you listen to Noell?"
"Because she's no fun" Tuffnut complained like it explained everything.
Fishlegs: We'll be legends! They'll sing songs about us.
Noell: You'll be dead. Come on, guys, not even Axel could find it.
Hiccup: You're right. He couldn't...
Hiccup: Give me that map.
Noell: Finally, someone is making sense.
Hiccup: Alright. Where do we start?
Noell: Are you serious?
Hiccup: Think about it, Noell. My father couldn't find that treasure. What-what would he say if I did something that even Axel the Noble couldn't do? How great would that be?
Noell: You're gonna go after this no matter what I say, right? So, yeah, pretty great.
Hiccup: So, you're not gonna give me a hard time about this?
"Does she usually give you a hard time?" Gobber asked.
"Yes" Hiccup said at the same time Noell answered "No"
Noell: Oh, I'll give you a hard time. Every step of the way. Besides, I can't let you go with just them.
Tuffnut: (getting hit by Ruffnut) Harder! I said I want to see stars. Ah...
Hiccup: It' looks like the map leads you to these spots.
Fishlegs: And the riddles are clues to what we're supposed to find!
Snotlout: Blah-blah-blah! Where's the treasure? Hmm, clue number one: "Where the land meets the sea, in the crook of the master's knee, that's where your search will be...gin."
Ruffnut: That doesn't sound so brilliant.
Tuffnut: Okay. Think, think, think, think, think. Think, think... I forgot what I was thinking about.
Hiccup: The "master's knee"? I've seen this before!
Hiccup: Look, right there, where his knee bends. It's pointing to this spot on the beach! That's where we start!
(The dragons fly and land on the beach)
Hiccup: Listen up, you, guys. "From here you will see the seed that's been sown. Look to where water turns to bone."
Snotlout: "Water turns to bone"? Hamish isn't even trying to make sense!
Hiccup: No, it-- "Water turns to bone"... "water turns to bone"... He must mean ice! The glacier!
(At the Great Hall Axel is yelling at Schmidt while he paces back and forth)
Axel: You had the map, and you didn't destroy it?! What were you thinking?!
Schmidt: I know. I'm an idiot. I thought maybe you and I could take another crack at finding that treasure.
Axel: Schmidt!
Schmidt: We turned back too early! So, we lost a couple of toes.
Axel: Ack! Come on, Schmidt.
Axel: We've got to find Hiccup and the others before they get themselves killed! Why would he do something like this?
"When is Hiccup not trying to get himself killed?"
(Skips back to the teens inside the glacier)
Noell: There's something in there.
Fishlegs: I bet that guy saw it too.
Hiccup: "Call on Magni, you'll go astray. Freya, though, will show the way."
Snotlout: I get it.
(Snoutlout gets down on his knees and starts banging his head on the ice cracking it but also activating a trap. Hiccup notices and pulls him away saving his life)
Hiccup: NO! We can't break the ice. That's what Magni means. He's the God of Strength.
Fishlegs: That's right! And Freya...
Hiccup and Fishlegs: Is the Goddess of Fire!
Hiccup: And that's exactly what we're going to use.
Hiccup: Toothless... You know what to do. Light 'em up.
Hiccup: Ow!
Ruffnut: That's it? This is the treasure?
Hiccup: No. Can't be. But I bet this will lead us to it.
Tuffnut: Take us to the treasure!
Noell: Let me know if it answers.
Hiccup: This is just the first piece.
Hiccup: Whoa! WHOA! TOOTHLESS!!
Schmidt: Night Fury prints. They were here... about an hour ago.
"How do can you tell?"
"It's a talent and one that not many Vikings have."
Axel: I'll never understand how you do that. What does an hour ago smell like, Schmidt?
Schmidt: Not as strong as a half hour ago.
Axel: Look! The kids must have found something up there.
Schmidt: It was in the glacier! I knew it!
Axel: Oh, ya knew it, did ya? Then how come we spent a week digging in the sand?!
Schmidt: That was your idea!
"Are you guys fighting already?"
"No!" Axel and Schmidt protested at the same time.
Axel: Hiccup got further in one afternoon than we got in a month.
Schmidt: Yeah. Looks like the little Hiccup's got the best of us. And we think we're the big, strong Vikings.
Axel: What are you saying, Schmidt?
Schmidt: Axel, it's the painting.
Axel: Of course! He's trying to prove himself.
(The scene changes to the teens and their dragons on a seas stack)
Hiccup: At the edge of the world, amidst the raging sea, in the serpent's mouth, lies another key.
Tuffnut: Serpents? I hate serpents. Those are reptiles, right?
Ruffnut: You do realize you're sitting on one?
Tuffnut: Eugh!
Snotlout: Hey! That cloud looks like a snake.
Noell: Yeah, and in five minutes, it'll look like a bunny.
Hiccup: Wait-wait-wait a minute. He might be onto something. "In the mouth... lies the key."
Hiccup: Look! Right there!
Hiccup: Toothless, let's go!
Fishlegs: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa a-are you crazy? You can't take a Night Fury with a wingspan of forty-eight feet and expect him to hover in winds like that! You'll be killed!
Hiccup: Well, what's the wingspan of Meatlug?
"You see not taking my son on this suicide mission!" Mrs Ingerman yelled.
"It's okay Mom" Fishlegs reassured.
Hiccup: Keep her steady!
Fishlegs Oh, Thor... Oh, Thor! Do we really need that treasure?! Isn't our friendship treasure enough?!
Hiccup: I can't reach it!
Fishlegs: Okay, we tried, "A" for effort!
"Hiccup won't give up so easily. He never does" Astrid pointed out hiding the fondness in her voice well but Noell still picked it up. She glanced at Astrid and debated on glaring but ultimately decided not to. She was going to be the bigger person.
Hiccup: Hold on!
Hiccup: Okay... Come on. Come on... No.
(Instead of using your hand he used his prosthetic foot instead. It took a lot of tries and stretching but he finally managed to get it)
Hiccup: Yes! Got it! How's that for a hiccup?
(He flies back to the group and fits the pieces together. The scene changes to them walking and following the map)
Hiccup: Look, they fit together! We must be on the right track.
Ruffnut: Hiccup, what are you going to do with your part of the treasure?
Hiccup: I'm not really here for the treasure.
Snotlout: Great! I get his share!
Noell: You know, y-you don't have to do this, right?
Hiccup: Yeah, try telling that to my dad.
(They approach a wall)
Hiccup: This must be the spot. Why else would anybody build a wall in the middle of the woods.
Tuffnut: Uh, duh, to keep out the other trees.
Hiccup: Uh, I got another one for you. "The world is right, when stars align; when not in sync, the danger you'll find."
Snotlout: Stars?! I'm not waitin' around here till night!
Hiccup: No, I don't think he means actual stars. I mean, the water didn't really turn to bone.
Noell: Well, what do you think it means, Hiccup?
Snotlout: Why are you asking him? Maybe I know. I said, "Maybe." Turns out, I don't.
"That's because you never know" Noell said pointedly to Snoutlout causing him look away not having an argument to her surprise Roast.
Fishlegs: Huh... There are shapes carved into each one of these bricks.
Hiccup: Keep a lookout for anything that looks like a star.
Snotlout: Got one!
Snotlout: Uh-oh!
Fishlegs: Put it back! Put it back! Put it back!
Snotlout: Hookfang! HOOKFANG!
(Hookfang Pushes it back in with his snout)
Hiccup: Okay... It says, "In sync." That means there must be another star.
Noell: Over here!
"Good eye" Gobber complimented.
"Thanks!"
Hiccup: I think we're supposed to pull them out at the same time. Ruff? Tuff?
(Barf and Belch pull the two stones out at the same time causing a doorway to open up. They walk through where it closes up behind them in almost total darkness)
Ruffnut: Wow, this is amazing.
Snotlout: Oh, man...
Snotlout: Ugh, it's so hot. Is anybody else hot? 'Cause I'm really hot.
Tuffnut: I know. I'm sweating like a dragon at an eel party.
Noell: Uh, guys? Is it just me, or is the floor moving?
Hiccup: Uh, Toothless, can you give us some light?
Fishlegs: That's why it's so hot in here. Fireworm dragons.
Tuffnut: Whoa.
Hiccup: Stop! Their skin burns hotter than the sun.
Tuffnut: Yeah, but how hot can the sun really be?
Tuffnut: YEOUCH! OW! AARRAGH!
"Apparently quite hot" Aina commented
"And how would you know? Have you touched the sun?" Tuffnut asked accusingly causing Ainia to smirk
"No I haven't. But your screams pain says enough" she replied
Tuffnut: Whoa.
Hiccup: AHH!
Snotlout: Grab'em and let's go!
Hiccup: No, it's a choice. Listen to this, guys. "Something pure and something strong. Look first to yourself, and you won't go wrong."
Fishlegs: Strong... That must be the one made of iron.
Noell: But iron's not pure. Take the gold. It's getting really hard to breathe!
Fishlegs: That's what happens when you're getting roasted alive! You might wanna make a decision soon, Hiccup! We don't have much time!
Hiccup: "Look to yourself."
Noell (o.s.): Careful, it could be a trap.
Noell: Hiccup!
Noell: Oh, no! Hurry! Where'd he go?! Hiccup!
"You lost my son in some Death trap for a treasure that could very well not exist!" Stoick growled his voice getting louder.
Noell just rolled her eyes "Hiccup was fine"
Tuffnut: We gotta get out of here!
Snotlout: Through there!
Noell: No! We're not leaving them!
"Loyalty. Good trait to have"
"Also dangerous" Hiccup said referring to Heather. Her loyalty to them and spying on the dragon hunters almost cost them her life
Fishlegs: If we don't go now we'll all be trapped. There won't be anybody to help Hiccup.
Hiccup: We gotta find some way outta here. Give us some light, bud?
Hiccup: I wonder...
Hiccup: Well, we've come this far.
Noell: Keep digging! We've gotta find them!
Axel (o.s.): Find who?
"Uh oh"
Axel: Son!
Hiccup: "This treasure was passed from father to son. I leave it to you the next worthy one. For only a hiccup could get this far. From one to another, be proud of who you are!"
Hiccup: Whoa. Hamish the Second was a hiccup. Just like me! He knew only another one of us could find this place.
Hiccup: Look at all this stuff! I guess being a hiccup isn't such a bad thing after all.
"Beg to differ" Muttered a Berkian very quietly. He was at least smart enough to know his opinion wouldn't be taken lightly by the village and their Chief they were watching the show with.
Hiccup: Wow. So, Hamish II really loved pedestals.
Hiccup: And apparently riddles. "In between the body and mind, a choice must be made on what you find. At this moment you must look to yourself, as only one path will give you true wealth." Ugh.
Hiccup: Oh, come on, Hamish, you're killing me!
Axel: Keep digging! That's my son in there!
(The ground started to tremble before caving inwards)
Axel: Hiccup Son!
Hiccup: Hey, Dad.
(Axel grabs him and pulls him into a tight hug)
Hiccup: Uh, Dad I can't breathe.
Noell: Oh, Hiccup, you're okay.
Fishlegs: Hiccup, thank Thor you're alive! What happened?
Snotlout: Blah, blah, blah. Who cares?! Where's the treasure?
Hiccup: This is Hamish's real son.
Snotlout: That's not treasure.
Axel: To a father, it is. I never meant to make you feel like you had to do something like this.
Hiccup: I know, Dad. But I had to do it. For myself.
Hiccup (v.o.): I've spent most of my life trying to prove to my dad that I could be his kind of Viking. As it turns out, I already was.
"A happy Ending" Hoyce cheered happily causing Hiccup to smile at him.
"You like a happy ending" Noell said kindly
"Of course Mo-Noell" Hoyce said before changing his wording when Aina Pinched him. But Noell had picked up on it. Was Hoyce about to call me mom?
Ernalynn who was seeing her mom in thought knew she had picked up on it and she couldn't let Noell dwell on it. It would ruin the surprise. So instead she turned on the next episode as quick as possible hoping it would at least dely the realization. Her mom was smart like her dad and could figure it out with enough clues.
