How to Train Your Dragon Page #2

He's going to get out there again.

He's probably out there now.

Oh, the gods hate me.

Some people lose their knife

or their mug. Not me.

I manage to lose an entire dragon.

Oh, wow. I did it.

I did it. This fixes everything! Yes!

I have brought down

this mighty beast!

I'm going to kill you, dragon.

Then I'll cut out your heart

and take it to my father.

I am a Viking. I am a Viking!

I did this.

Hiccup.

Dad...

I have to talk to you, Dad.

I need to speak with you, too, son.

- I don't want to fight dragons.

- It's time you learn to fight dragons.

- What?

- What?

- You go first.

- No, you go first.

All right.

You get your wish. Dragon training...

you start in the morning.

Oh, man, I should have gone first.

I was thinking, you know,

we have a surplus

of dragon-fighting Vikings,

but do we have enough bread-making

Vikings or small-home-repair Vikings?

You'll need this.

I don't want to fight dragons.

Come on. Yes, you do.

Rephrase. Dad, I can't kill dragons.

But you will kill dragons.

No, I'm really very extra-sure

that I won't.

- It's time, Hiccup.

- Can you not hear me?

This is serious, son.

When you carry this axe,

you carry all of us with you.

Which means you walk like us,

you talk like us...

you think like us.

No more of... this.

You just gestured to all of me.

- Deal?

- This conversation is very one-sided.

Deal?

Deal.

Good.

Train hard.

I'll be back. Probably.

And I'll be here.

Maybe.

Welcome to dragon training!

No turning back.

I hope I get some serious burns.

I'm hoping for some mauling,

like on my shoulder or back.

Yeah, it's only fun if you get

a scar out of it.

Yeah, no kidding, right?

Pain. Love it.

Oh, great. Who let him in?

Let's get started!

The recruit who does best

will win the honor

of killing his first dragon

in front of the entire village.

Hiccup already killed a Night Fury,

so does that disqualify him?

Can I transfer to the class

with the cool Vikings?

Don't worry. You're small and weak...

that'll make you less of a target.

They'll see you as sick or insane

and go after the more

Viking-like teens instead.

Behind these doors

are just a few of the many species

you will learn to fight!

- The Deadly Nadder!

- Speed 8, armor 16.

The Hideous Zippleback.

Plus 11 stealth. Times 2.

- The Monstrous Nightmare.

- Firepower 15.

- The Terrible Terror.

- Attack 8, venom 12.

Can you stop that?!

And the Gronckle.

Jaw strength 8.

Wait, aren't you gonna teach us first?

I believe in learning on the job.

Today is about survival.

If you get blasted...

you're dead!

What's the first thing you'll need?

- A doctor?

- Plus 5 speed?

- A shield.

- Shields. Go!

Your most important piece of equipment

is your shield!

If you must choose between

a sword or a shield, take the shield!

- Let go of my shield!

- There are a million shields!

Take that one. It has a flower...

girls like flowers.

Oops, this one has blood on it.

- Tuffnut, Ruffnut! You're out!

- What?

Shields are good for another thing.

Noise! Make lots of it

to throw off a dragon's aim!

All dragons have

a limited number of shots.

How many does a Gronckle have?

- Five?

- No, six!

Correct, six!

That's one for each of you!

Fishlegs, out!

Hiccup, get in there!

I moved into my parents' basement.

Come by sometime and work out.

You look like you work out.

Snotlout! You're done!

So it's just you and me, huh?

Nope, just you.

One shot left!

Hiccup!

And that's six.

Go back to bed,

you overgrown sausage!

You'll get another chance,

don't you worry.

Remember, a dragon will always,

always go for the kill.

So... why didn't you?

This was stupid.

Why don't you just fly away?

All right, where did Astrid go wrong

in the ring today?

I mistimed my somersault dive.

It was sloppy.

- It threw off my reverse tumble.

- Yeah, we noticed.

No, no, you were great.

That was so "Astrid."

She's right. You have to be

tough on yourselves.

Where did Hiccup go wrong?

- He showed up.

- He didn't get eaten.

He's never where he should be.

Thank you, Astrid.

You need to live and breathe

this stuff. The dragon manual.

Everything we know about

every dragon we know of.

Ah.

No attacks tonight. Study up.

Wait, you mean read?

While we're still alive?

Why read words

when you can just kill the stuff

the words tell you stuff about?

I've read it seven times.

There's this water dragon

that sprays boiling water at your

face. And there's this other one...

Yeah. That sounds great.

- There was a chance I'd read it...

- But now...

You guys read. I'll go kill stuff.

Another one has spines like trees.

- So I guess we'll share?

- Read it.

All mine, then. Wow.

So, OK, I'll see you...

tomorrow.

Dragon classifications.

Strike class.

Fear class. Mystery class.

Thunderdrum. This reclusive dragon

inhabits sea caves and dark tide pools.

When startled, the Thunderdrum

produces a concussive sound

that can kill a man at close range.

Extremely dangerous. Kill on sight.

Timberjack. This gigantic creature

has razor-sharp wings

that can slice through full-grown trees.

Extremely dangerous. Kill on sight.

Scauldron. Sprays scalding water

at its victim. Extremely dangerous.

Changewing. Even newly hatched

dragons can spray acid. Kill on sight.

Gronckle. Zippleback. The Skrill.

Bone Knapper. Whispering Death.

Burns its victims. Buries its victims.

Chokes its victims.

Turns its victims inside out.

Extremely dangerous.

Extremely dangerous.

Kill on sight.

Kill on sight. Kill on sight.

Night Fury.

Speed unknown. Size unknown.

The unholy offspring

of lightning and death itself.

Never engage this dragon.

Your only chance: Hide and pray

it does not find you.

I can almost smell them.

They're close.

Steady.

Take us in.

Hard to port. For Helheim's Gate.

Hard to port!

Steady!

Hey, you know, I just happened to notice

the book had nothing on Night Furies.

Is there another book, or a sequel?

Maybe a Night Fury pamphlet?

Focus, Hiccup!

You're not even trying!

Today it's all about attack!

Nadders are quick and light

on their feet.

Your job is to be quicker and lighter!

I'm really beginning to question

your teaching methods!

Look for its blind spot!

Every dragon has one.

Find it, hide in it and strike!

Do you ever bathe?

If you don't like it, then

just get your own blind spot.

How about I give you one?

Blind spot, yes.

Deaf spot, not so much.

Hey, so, how would one sneak up

on a Night Fury?

No one's ever met one and lived

to tell the tale. Get in there!

- I know, I know, but hypothetically...

- Hiccup!

Get down.

Watch out, babe.

I'll take care of this.

The sun was in my eyes, Astrid.

What do you want me to do,

block out the sun?

I could do that but I don't have time!

They probably...

take the daytime off, right?

Like a cat.

Has anyone ever seen one napping?

Hiccup!

Love on the battlefield.

She could do better.

Let me... Why don't you?

Well done, Astrid.

Is this some kind of a joke to you?
