The Night and the Fury Dragons

Let's go, bud.

-Yeah.

-Whoa.

-Wow.

-Nice!

OK, gang. Over here.

Tomorrow's training mission was actually Astrid's idea.

So I will let her explain it.

-Aw, no.

-Aw, man.

-Come on.

HE GROANS

-What?!

-Your training missions are so hard!

-They are not.

Hand-to-claw combat?

-Spine dodging?

-Hot lava swimming?

-We never did that.

-Yeah, but you should've.

It's way better than hand-to-claw combat.

Well, this mission is easy.

Dragon Island. You just have to go from this beach on the east side,

to this cave on the west side.

-Oh.

-Yeah, OK. That's not that bad.

-Not that bad.

At night. With no camping gear.

ALL: What?!

-And no dragons.

-Aw, what?!

That's crazy! What's the point?

To work on our stealth skills and our wild dragon defence.

Astrid's right. We all know how strong we are with our dragons,

but we have to be able to survive and defend ourselves

-if we ever get separated from them.

-Trust me. It'll be fun!

HE GROANS

OK, one of us is going to have to skip the drill

and take the dragons to the cave on the other side of the island.

That way, they won't try and help us.

Just like that. OK, so who's going to watch the dragons?

-I think the obvious choice is...

-Me. I volunteer.

But...but I have way more dragon knowledge.

Yeah, from a book. But I...I feel them, in here.

Wait, where is it? In...in here.

HIS TUMMY RUMBLES

Yeah, in my stomach.

Besides, I did say, "Me first!"

Ah, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Tuffnut is right.

Fishlegs, no-one can argue with your dragon knowledge.

But if Alvin attacks with wild dragons,

we need to be able to face them any time of the day or night,

on our own, without help.

I hate it when you make sense.

HE SNIGGERS

-See you later, Stormfly.

-You stay tough.

Bye, Meatlug. No midnight snacks.

I'm going to miss you, too.

No, no, no, no, Toothless, you have to go with Tuffnut.

I can't believe I'm saying this either, but, uh, he's the boss.

That's right. You heard that. Boss man. Head honcho.

The big...boss honcho...guy. The honch-boss.

Hey, anybody know where this cave is?

Just messing with you. Or am I?

HE LAUGHS

Even I don't know.

Remember, this is about stealth, not speed.

It doesn't matter how fast you get there.

What's important is how you handle a wild dragon

if ever you come across one. Understand?

All right. Good luck, everybody.

I'll see you back at the cave.

This is great(!)

What? I'm formulating a plan.

Fishlegs, you can do this.

Oh, man! I should have just stayed in my nice, warm bed this morning,

-Meatlug peacefully licking my toes. But no!

-Move out, Fishlegs!

Don't rush me! I'm having a moment.

All right. Who's up for an all-nighter?

You guys are going to love my ghost stories.

Uh, uh, uh, uh. Not so fast, Mr Night Fury.

Remember the mission. No dragon help.

And that means you. Besides, I'm in charge.

I knew that was coming.

Little help here? Help out your boss honcho?

HE GRUNTS

OK. A wild Nadder. Should be simple.

Move to the blind spot and...

Playing the spine game, huh?

So what do you want to do now?

Huh! Snotlout Jorgenson.

Hoo! Huh! Super Viking.

At home in the wilderness and...

OH!

All right, bring it on, wild dragons! I'm ready for you!

OK. You want some? You want a piece of Snotlout?

Bring it on, you little...

HE GROWLS

Monstrous Nightmares. Fast in a straight line, bad at turns.

He's probably just as afraid of me as I am of him, right?

Nope, I'm definitely more afraid!

Left, left!

Oh...right, right!

It's like he's inside my head!

Argh!

I'm cold and miserable.

BRANCHES FALL

Who was that? Who's there?

Thanks, Astrid(!) My death will be on your hands.

HE ROARS

THEY GROWL

Quartz! You guys are so predictable.

Are you...campfire?!

Really?! How is this stealthy?

Scratch, scratch!

Who stole my golden hook? Scratch, scratch!

And you turn around, and he says, "YOU did!"

Ooh, tough cave.

Hey. Going somewhere?

Look, I get it. You're worried about your other half.

I feel your pain. Well, not really.

I kind of like it when Ruffnut's in imminent danger.

Anyway, you can beat me with your tail,

you can barbecue me with a plasma blast,

you can lightly massage my shoulders and neck.

You really could, I need it.

But I will not shirk my responsibility to the...

Sleeping?! You're all sleeping.

Huh. Not a bad idea.

HE SNORES

OK. Come on out.

Show yourself, Snotlout, and I will go easy on you.

-Dagur?

-Hiccup, old friend!

You're alive!

HE LAUGHS

Uh, last time I checked. So, uh... haven't seen you since...

Since you saved me from that dragon attack back on Berk.

You fought off a Night Fury!

Oh. Right. Yes, the dragon attack.

You were like, bam, wham!

And then, you were all, "Dagur, save yourself!"

And, I was like... "What?! OK. I'm out of here!"

But you stayed, and then you must've...

So, whatever happened to that Night Fury, Hiccup?

Oh, yeah, well, just bad news.

-Uh, it got away.

-That's great news!

-It is?

-Yes. New plan.

You and I are going to hunt the unholy offspring

of lightning and death itself.

We are going to take down that Night Fury once and for all!

Uh, OK.

HE HOWLS

Come on. Howl with me. It feels good.

HE HOWLS AND LAUGHS

Oh, man.

Hiccup, ever since I left Berk,

I haven't been able to stop... thinking about you.

Well, that's kind of strange. Well, I'm flattered.

Not you, personally. You and that Night Fury!

It's like you... you knew that dragon!

You were inside its head, rattling its cage.

And that, my muscularly challenged friend,

that's when I decided I needed to know about dragons, too.

So I came here, and I learned about them one by one.

The Deadly Nadder. Got this in the leg. It was awesome!

And don't even get me started on the Gronckle!

-Uh, is that?

-No, it's yak.

Anyway, those big boys are quicker than you'd think.

WHOOSHING

-Whoa!

-Nice crossbow.

My hunting weapon of choice.

You carry... Hmm. Just a...shield?

Yeah, yeah. Just a shield.

Just a plain old shield.

Very ornate. My sister had one like that.

I myself have never felt the need to hide in combat.

HE HOWLS

Yeah. So just how long have you been out here, Dagur?

Couple of days. Weeks, maybe. Hard to tell.

It's all a blur when you're on the hunt. Got to focus.

Eyes front, little man!

Hey, maybe you should take a little break.

Not till I take out that Night Fury. I know it's on this island, Hiccup.

I can feel it...right here.

You feel it, too. Don't you, Hiccup?

Uh...no. I just feel really awkward.

HE LAUGHS

You bring the funny, Hiccup! I'll give you that.

I'm going to grab my gear.

Then we're going to get us that Night Fury...brother.

-"Brother?"

-That's right. You and me.

And the awkwardness continues.

-Ssh! That could be him.

-No, that sounds too big.

LOUDER NOISE

You're right. I'm taking him down anyway.

Just for fun.

-How dare you!

-I had to!

-The Night Fury would have... smelled it.

-They can do that?

Oh, yes. Oh, excellent sense of smell.

It would have sensed danger and fled.

Look at us! You, this little runt of a...

well, you know what you are. And me, Dagur the Deranged.

Who would have ever thought we'd make such a formidable team?

-Not me, that's for sure.

-Let's move out.

Give it back. It's my blanket.

HE SNORES

Huh? What a great drea... What?

Oh, really? That's how you're going to do me?

I don't think so.

Oh, it's on, dragons. It is so on.

Ssh, ssh. Listen!

Smaller this time. Could be the Night Fury.

That actually sounds more like a wild yak to me.

HE SNIGGERS

Ah, close enough.

Hiccup! Whoa, am I glad to see you!

You would not believe what I've been through.

This place is crawling with wild dragons!

Yep, it's called Dragon island, Snotlout.

-Dagur! What are YOU doing here?!

-Snot...hat, is it?

-Snotlout. Snotlout.

-Whatever.

I thought you said you were here alone.

I thought I was. Snotlout!

-Why, you were supposed to stay at base camp.

-Huh?

While I am hunting dragons here in the forest.

You're doing what in the where?

Not the sharpest arrow in the quiver, is he?

Not even close. Play along.

We cannot let Dagur know about our dragons.

He'll try to take them home and mount them on his wall.

Wait, you mean...?

Hmm. Zippleback tracks.

Gotcha!

Now, back to the cave...what?!

I thought, uh... I thought you were someone else.

Look, it's a simple misunderstanding.

Ow! Argh!

HE SNIGGERS

Dragon trainer, one. Wild Zippleback, zero.

Whoa!

-Argh!

-Argh!

Fishlegs! Would you look? It's Dagur...

who is also out hunting dragons, just like us.

Yes, we are dragon hunters out hunting dragons.

Hiccup, your definition of 'alone' and mine are very different.

But perhaps, this one can help us...

Hunt dragons! Cos that's what we are doing.

-Hunting...

-Dragons.

OK, got it.

HE GROWLS

Whoa-ho. Forward!

-You know, we're a lot alike, Hiccup.

-Really? How's that?

-Well, we're both born leaders.

-Oh, yeah. He's right about that.

-Sons of chiefs.

-Yeah, that's true.

RUSTLING

Wow!

HE SIGHS

-Which one of your friends is it going to be this time?

-It's hard to say.

NIGHT FURY ROARS

The Night Fury!

Hiccup, my brother, you've done it. You've led me right to it!

NIGHT FURY ROARS

Arrow, meet dragon.

-Dragon, meet...

-No, no, Dagur, wait!

-I would like to do it.

-I saw him first!

-Yes, but I led you to him.

-But I brought the crossbow!

All you brought was that useless ornate shield!

Now, stand aside.

GRUNTING

What's wrong with you? I almost had those Terrible Terrors!

-They were right in my hands!

-Terrors, shmerrors.

We're hunting a Night Fury here! Did you leave ANYONE back on Berk?

Ha-ha! Ah, very funny, Dagur.

-Did he say 'hunting a Night Fury'?

-Yep, that's exactly what he said.

-But Toothless is...

-I know.

And if he's loose, then so are the other dragons.

You guys need to find Ruff and Tuff,

grab your dragons and get out of here.

Don't worry. Dagur won't hurt me. I'm his brother.

Come, Hiccup, while the trail is still fresh!

I can't hunt with an entourage.

Go back to Berk. Leave us to our business.

That's just great(!) How are we supposed to find our dragons?

Actually, it shouldn't be that hard.

I don't get it! Why doesn't it fly away?

Maybe it wants us to follow.

You mean a trap?

Exactly. Yes. Maybe we should go back.

Oh, brother, don't you know that a trapper's traps

-can trap the trapper?

-What does that even mean?

I don't know.

HE LAUGHS AND HOWLS

The Tuffnut sneaks up on the Zippleback

to teach him a lesson.

Ow!

-What are you doing out here?

-Uh, I'm looking for you.

I thought you would be lost, so I came to save you.

Ugh, no. And what are Barf and Belch doing here?

Uh, they, uh...

They were both hungry for outdoor food.

-The dragons ran away, you happy?

-No, I'm not happy.

What, did you tell them your stupid scary stories?

No. Maybe...not.

-Yes.

-Come on, let's find the others!

Uh, we're right here. Could you guys argue any louder?

Sure, yeah, but why would you...?

-Ssh!

-She didn't learn any...

-You're not going to hit anything like that.

-I know that.

I'm just trying to keep him running in that direction.

-What was that?

-To be honest, Hiccup,

I didn't exactly come here alone, either.

Dagur, Night Furies are very lethal.

-A few more men won't make a difference.

-Really? You think so?

Lucky for us, I brought the armada along

and, like, a bazillion armed berserkers.

Yeah, that actually might make a difference.

Oh, yeah. We're going to drive that beast right to them,

-and they can finish him off.

-Not exactly sporting.

I don't care about 'sporting'.

NIGHT DRAGON ROARS

OK, that's it. I am not going to let you kill that dragon.

This again? Fine, you saw it first.

You can take home a wing or something.

No, I'm pretty much going to take the whole thing.

NIGHT DRAGON ROARS

-Is that a...

-Saddle?

Yes, Dagur. That's exactly what it is.

-So I was...

-Right all along.

We do not hunt dragons on Berk! We ride them.

Your father lied to... You lied to me!

He was trying to keep the peace between our tribes. So was I.

By making a fool out of ME?

You don't really need a lot of help with that, Dagur.

NIGHT FURY ROARS

Your move.

You could have been my brother, Hiccup.

-Now, you're my enemy.

-Have it your way.

But remember, we have the dragons, and we're not afraid to use them.

Let's get out of here, bud.

HE HOWLS

HE GROANS

Your move, Hiccup.

-You can't hide for ever!

-I don't plan to.

Nice try, brother.

Oh, and by the way, I'm not your brother.

-Ha-ha-ha, you missed.

-Did I?

I have got to get me one of those ornate shields!

Ah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

NIGHT DRAGON ROARS

Argh!

Dragon attack!

We better go now. His men are on the way.

-Come on, we can take them.

-Not today. Dagur will be back.

And when he is, we'll be ready.

So, Berk DOES train dragons.

I should kill that runt for lying!

No! No-one hurts Hiccup.

No-one...except me.

And not until after I have his Night Fury.

And I WILL have it.
