Shock and Awe Dragons

This changes everything.

There you go, baby.

Wow, that big storm washed up all kinds of cool things up here.

Quartz, Icelandite...

Oh, travertine, Meatlug!

What the...?

-BOTH: Loki-ed!

-Ah!

-THUD

-Uh!

THEY LAUGH

-Loki-ed! Never gets old.

-Nope.

Ugh! Don't you to have something better to do?

Are you kidding? On Loki Day?

The day of our favourite god's birth?

One of the greatest days of pranking ever conceived by any man,

woman, child, animal, vegetable,

mineral or rock?

Ah! No! Stop!

Ah! My arm!

HE GASPS

-My arm!

-How could you, Meatlug?!

You were always such a gentle dragon.

I'll never be able to clap again.

And you know how much I love applause.

Meatlug didn't mean it. She...

Ah!

HE LAUGHS

It's still here! I still have the arm.

Do we really even need to say it?

I think we do. We've earned it.

BOTH: Loki-ed!

-Loki-ed!

-Argh!

Yeah!

-The missing arm gag.

-Classic Loki.

Only outdone by the missing leg trick.

Yeah, that's been done to death.

Got to keep it above the waist these days.

Hiccup, what a show-off.

ROARING

Very funny, you two. Loki Day, ha-ha!

I get it. Joke's on Fishlegs.

-GROWLING

-Huh?

-Say something?

-Wait a minute.

If you two are here and Barf and Belch are over there, then...

CRACKLING

WATER RIPPLES

HE WHIMPERS

You saw that, right?

Oh, my Thor. I did!

-Really?

-No!

THEY LAUGH

Loki-ed!

It had two heads, maybe three,

and it made this weird sound like nothing I've ever heard before.

It was like a... Like...

Roar! Zzz!

Oh, my Thor. That's incredible, Fishlegs!

I know, right?

Wrong! Not getting me on Loki Day.

If it isn't already obvious to you all...

I am way smarter than...

HE GROANS

Obviously much smarter.

BOTH: Loki-ed!

Ha-ha-ha, fine, you got me.

But I still don't believe Fishlegs about that creature in the lagoon.

Creature in the Edge Lagoon,

just when you thought it was safe to take a bath in a lagoon.

OK. Any day, now.

Toothless.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Look, you can Loki all you want, I know what I saw.

We've been swimming and fishing in that cove for months, Fishlegs.

Don't you think we would have seen something

if there were something to see?

Are you sure it wasn't just the light coming through the fog?

It can play really weird tricks on you, especially at that hour.

Sounds more like somebody got Loki-ed by the fog.

It wasn't the fog, you guys.

There's something out there. Something real.

And as usual, you won't believe it until I prove it.

All of Thor's creatures have to eat.

Right, girl?

Ah!

HE WHISTLES

# Well, I've got my meat and I've got my lug

# And a great big heart filled with Fishlegs love

# I'm a Dragon Rider through and through. #

HE YAWNS

All right, Meatlug, one more time.

-SLEEPILY:

-# I've got my meat

# And I've got my lug

# I've got a great big heart filled with Fishlegs...

# Love... #

HE SNORES

CRACKLING

Argh!

-MUFFLED:

-Ah! Ah!

I knew I was right! It lives!

Ah!

Ah!

Whoa!

Oh!

Thor, I promise I won't stay up late reading books anymore.

I promise I won't pocket extra barley cakes.

I promise I'll tell Snotlout where I hid his favourite axe!

Hey, Meatlug, it's trying to get out!

Come on, girl, we have to close the exit!

Those guys will never believe it was here if we let it get away!

Not to mention the fact that we'll get to study it!

Who knows? It could be a whole new species...

I'm getting ahead of myself. Keep dumping, girl.

The last time I saw the creature,

it was heading for the deepest part of the cove.

Is it more like a giant fish, or a big snake?

I don't know, it was hard to tell from underwater.

Everything looked kind of fuzzy and misshapen.

You sure you weren't looking at Meatlug?

Ha-ha, very funny.

Well, whatever it is, we'll find it.

Where did you two hide my axe?

I know it's Loki Day, but come on, it was my favourite one!

OK, let's, uh, let's fan out and find the creature.

Don't get too close to the water.

How do we know it's even real?

Because it bit me!

That doesn't look like a bite. That looks like a burn.

Grab your buckets. We're going to churn the water

to see if it will show itself again.

Not me! No way. Loki Day trick.

I can smell it from a mile away. Ha-ha!

I mean, how dense does he think we are?

GROWLING

-Uh, Snotlout?

-What?

Ah!

Ah, ah!

That... That's not a creature at all.

It's a dragon.

And not just any dragon. It's a sea shocker!

A sea shocker, right in our cove!

And I found him!

You mean you trapped him.

I didn't... Ugh!

I got to tell you, Fishlegs,

if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm not sure I'd believe it.

Right? Sea shockers are extremely difficult to spot

because they hardly ever surface.

SNOTLOUT SIGHS

Yes, because they're deep-water dragons.

Exactly. Which explains why it didn't take my bait...

-BOTH:

-It only eats deep-sea fish!

Exactly.

Geek mode fully engaged.

OK, can we step away from the onslaught of dragon knowledge?

With pleasure, brother.

A-a-ah!

THUD

Loki-ed!

What?! I thought we were on the same team!

Sorry, sis. A team is only as strong as its weakest player.

As soon as I get out of this hole, it is on!

Just wait till she sees the snake I put down there.

-HISSING

-Aaah!

You are truly a master.

Jerk!

I think she saw it.

How lucky are we?!

To be able to study a sea shocker this closely!

OK. We have to be careful.

We don't want to hurt the dragon.

Oh, Hiccup, when would I ever hurt a dragon?

Look at how fluidly it moves through the water.

Truly masterful.

What's it even doing here?

It must have gotten separated from its pod.

It looks kind of agitated.

Great idea, Fishlegs!

Let's mess with the angry zapper heads!

Yeah, I actually think I agree with Snotlout on this one.

The sea shocker looks pretty stressed.

I think we should help it out of the cove.

I know, I know, I know. But after we get the measurements.

Astrid, can you position yourself near the tail?

And then I'll come over here, and...

-He's not listening to you.

-I know.

-This is really a bad idea.

-Yes, it is.

You should listen to me more often.

Nah, I shouldn't.

Based on the sea shocker's length and coloration,

I'd say it's a healthy, young adult male.

ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

Whoa, Stormfly!

All right, Fishlegs, I think we've seen enough.

Don't worry. This kind of impulse behaviour

is completely age-appropriate.

Look out, bud!

No, stop!

Hookfang, calm down!

Oh, no, he's hurt! Astrid!

Stormfly was just reacting to being attacked!

Yeah, Fishlegs, what did you expect?

All right, everybody just calm down.

We need to get the sea shocker back into the sea.

Still not listening.

Stay here, girl.

It's OK. Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you.

Hey.

We're just going to try and get you off the rocks

and back into the water.

Whoa!

That was a doozy. I didn't know you could do that.

Looks like you didn't know you could do that, either.

Guess you're not used to being in shallow water, huh?

And you're probably pretty hungry, too,

and we don't have any deep sea fish.

He needs to be with his pod, Fishlegs.

It's too dangerous for him to stay here.

I know, I know, you're right.

Can you just give us a minute?

You got it.

We'll go start blasting open the mouth of the cove.

I'm sorry I locked you in here, away from your home and your family.

I should not have been so selfish.

But don't you worry.

We're going to get you out of here and back to where you belong.

Oh, no! Stormfly's spine is still stuck in your side.

Poor thing.

Here we go. I got you. I got you.

This way! This way to freedom! Come on!

What's going on?

-And don't ask about your huts.

-They can be fixed!

Never mind. We need you to help clear a path for the sea shocker.

Blast the last of the lava wall.

How do we know this isn't a trick,

and when we blast the wall, the whole cove explodes?

Really?

All right, here they come.

Almost there, just a little...

Wait, why are you stopping? Freedom awaits!

What?!

Scauldrons!

Oh, no. Scauldrons are sea shockers' natural predators!

All the noise from blasting the wall must have drawn them in.

The wall. The one that I put there!

Meatlug, what have we done?

We have to do something, Hiccup!

The sea shocker can't fight off all these scauldrons by himself.

OK, spread out and flank the scauldrons.

Just try and distract them.

It's two against one!

Every time it looks like he loses them,

he zaps and then more come!

The scauldrons must track the shocker by following its shocks.

You stay away from him!

Yes!

Now, bud!

Thanks, Hiccup!

Where did he go?

He's making a break for the opening!

Two scauldrons, moving fast!

We'll lay down some cover fire. Astrid, cut them off!

Ah!

Loki-ed!

What?! No!

I cannot believe you two, Loki-ing right now!

Astrid's the crown jewel, Fishlegs.

When you have a shot at Loki-ing Astrid,

you've got to take it.

We'll talk later.

Oh, yes, we will.

THEY LAUGH

Hiccup, would you please tell them

that they have to stop doing all these Loki tricks?

Fishlegs, I actually think that Loki might be the key

to saving the sea shocker!

Now you're talking!

I wouldn't get too excited if I were you.

Why?

Why do I feel like we're being punished?

Because those guys don't understand Loki Day!

Let's just get these things and get out of here.

This bait is nasty.

The word is pungent.

Sorry,

this pungent is nasty.

Hiccup said to just use a pinch.

Ha-ha!

Loki-ed! Yeah!

Ha-ha! Good one!

But now how do we...?

-BOTH:

-Ah!

Can someone please tell me why

we're risking everything to help this thing?

They're underwater, I can't get a clear shot.

They're in a feeding frenzy.

It's too dangerous to get any closer.

What happened? Where did he go?

Hiccup, did he just...?

-Oh, man.

-We tried everything, Fishlegs.

I'm sorry.

Me, too, Fishlegs.

I guess we should head back.

I am not leaving. Not yet.

This is my fault, and if somehow, some way, he is still alive,

then it is my responsibility to get him back to the safety of his pod.

-Fishlegs...

-Hiccup, he is a fighter. He's going to make it!

Yes! He lives! He lives!

Fishlegs!

Uh-oh.

Incoming!

Giant zapping eel!

I'm pretty sure I said a few small...eels.

On Loki Day, you go big or you go home.

It's working! The zapping eel is confusing the scauldrons.

Who knew you could Loki scauldrons?

Let's Loki them even more. Come on.

Go, Meatlug.

Oh, this is our chance.

Come on, just a little further, we're almost there.

Ha-ha!

We did it, Hiccup! We saved him!

Another scauldron.

Oh, this is going to hurt.

Fishlegs!

Ah! Ah!

Oh!

OK.

Fishlegs, are you all right?

That must have blown him 20 yards! New record!

Don't worry, Fishlegs.

In time, you'll be able to feel your legs again.

I mean, probably.

That was one of the gutsiest moves I've ever seen, Fishlegs.

-Hey, it's nothing

-I

-wouldn't have done.

Then why didn't you do it?

Because I wanted to give Fishlegs a taste of the Snot.

Tastes good, doesn't it?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Look at that, Fishlegs!

You did it! You won!

We did it.

Finally, we're getting the respect we deserve.

Yeah. Do you think I'm underdressed?

I could have worn my browner tunic.

Your Vikings of the Year have...

Ah!

Loki-ed!

HICCUP LAUGHS

Oh! Ah! Bad dragon!

Uh-oh.

Ah! Ah!

-Ah!

-Ow!

-Look out!

-Loki-ed!

Ha-ha!

Ah!

BANGING AND CLATTERING

Safe now.

I never thought I'd say this, brother,

but I think I am ready for Loki Day to end.

CRASHING

-Whoa!

-We might have to wait on that.

CRASHING

Whoa. How weird is that? An earthquake on Loki Day?

Yeah, too weird.

Hey, is it also weird that there are dragons

flying in place outside the windows?

Not if you take into account

that we're thousands of feet above the ocean,

hanging by a rope attached to Stormfly!

OK, this has gone too far. I'm declaring it officially.

When dragons start Loki-ing Dragon Riders, that's when the whole s...

Ah!

I don't think the system is safe.

Loki-ed!

Enjoy your new home, guys!

I hear the neighbours are really quiet.

Ha-ha!

Evil genius. You've got to admire it.

-Admire

-it? I'm straight up jealous of it.

If I ever mention Loki Day again,

hold me down and pull all my nose hairs out.

Mm, but that's what we do on our birthday.

Oh, yeah. Well, think of something else that's really painful

and has to do with my nose.

Do that instead.

Loki Day!

-Heard that.

-No!

THUMP

I'm fine.
