How to Train Your Dragon Page #4

Where do you think you're going?

Oh, great Odin's ghost! This is it!

Hiccup, get me down from here!

You have to give me a chance to explain.

I am not listening

to anything you have to say!

Then I won't speak.

Just let me show you.

Please, Astrid.

Now get me down.

Toothless, down. Gently.

See? Nothing to be afraid of.

Whoa!

Toothless!

What is wrong with you?! Bad dragon!

He's not usually like this.

Oh, no.

Toothless, what are you doing?

We need her to like us!

And now the spinning.

Thank you for nothing,

you useless reptile.

OK, I am sorry! I'm sorry.

Just get me off of this thing.

All right, I admit it.

This is pretty cool.

It's amazing.

He's amazing.

So what now?

Hiccup, your final exam is tomorrow.

You know you'll have to kill...

kill a dragon.

Don't remind me.

Toothless, what's happening?

What is it?

Get down!

- What's going on?

- I don't know.

Toothless, you gotta get us

out of here, bud.

It looks like

they're hauling in their kill.

What does that make us?

What my dad wouldn't give

to find this.

It's satisfying to know that all of

our food has been dumped down a hole.

They're not eating any of it.

What is that?

All right, bud,

we got to get out of here... now!

It totally makes sense.

It's like a giant beehive.

They're the workers

and that's their queen.

It controls them. Let's find your dad.

No! No.

No, not yet. They'll kill Toothless.

We have to think this through

carefully.

Hiccup, we just discovered

the dragons' nest,

the thing we've been after

since Vikings first sailed here,

and you want to keep it a secret?

To protect your pet dragon?

Are you serious?

Yes.

OK. Then what do we do?

Just give me until tomorrow.

I'll figure something out.

OK.

That's for kidnapping me.

That's for everything else.

What are you looking at?

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

I can show my face in public again!

If someone had told me

that in a few short weeks

Hiccup would go from, well,

being Hiccup

to placing first in dragon training,

well, I would have tied him to a mast

and shipped him off

for fear he'd gone mad!

And you know it!

But here we are.

And no one is more surprised

or more proud than I am.

Today, my boy becomes a Viking.

Today, he becomes one of us!

Be careful with that dragon.

- It's not the dragon I'm worried about.

- What are you going to do?

Put an end to this. I have to try.

Astrid, if something goes wrong,

just make sure

they don't find Toothless.

I will. Just promise me

it won't go wrong.

It's time, Hiccup. Knock 'em dead.

Yeah! Show 'em how it's done.

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

I would have gone for the hammer.

I'm ready.

Go on, Hiccup. Give it to him!

What is he doing?

Hey, it's OK. It's OK.

I'm not one of them.

What's he thinking?

- Stop the fight.

- No!

I need you all to see this.

They're not what we think they are.

We don't have to kill them.

I said, stop the fight!

Out of my way!

Hiccup!

This way!

Night Fury!

Toothless, go. Get out of here.

Go, go!

Stoick, no!

Dad, he won't hurt you!

No, don't!

You're only making it worse!

Toothless, stop!

No! No!

Get him!

No, no! Please just don't hurt him!

Please don't hurt him.

Put it with the others.

I should have known.

I should have seen the signs.

- Dad?

- We had a deal!

I know we did. That was before...

It's all so messed up.

So everything in the ring,

a trick? A lie?

I screwed up. I should have

told you before now. I just...

Take this out on me, be mad at me,

but please, just don't hurt Toothless.

The dragon?

That's what you're worried about?

Not the people you almost killed?

He was protecting me!

He's not dangerous.

They've killed hundreds of us!

And we've killed thousands of them!

They defend themselves, that's all!

They raid us because they have to.

If they don't bring enough food back,

they'll be eaten themselves.

There's something else

on their island. It's a dragon like...

Their island?

So you've been to the nest?

- Did I say nest?

- How did you find it?

What? No, I didn't. Toothless did.

Only a dragon can find the island.

No, no, no. No, Dad.

No, please, it's not what you think.

You don't know what you're up against.

It's like nothing you've ever seen.

Dad, please. I promise you,

you can't win this one!

No, Dad. No.

For once in your life,

would you please just listen to me?!

You've thrown your lot in with them.

You're not a Viking.

You're not my son.

Ready the ships!

This way.

Set sail!

We head for Helheim's Gate.

Lead us home, devil.

It's a mess.

You must feel horrible.

You've lost everything:

Your father, your tribe,

your best friend.

Thank you for summing that up.

Why couldn't I have killed that dragon

when I found him in the woods?

- Would have been better for everyone.

- Yep. The rest of us would've done it.

So why didn't you?

- Why didn't you?

- I don't know.

- I couldn't.

- That's not an answer.

Why is this so important

to you all of a sudden?

Because I want to remember

what you say right now.

For the love of... I was a coward.

I was weak. I wouldn't kill a dragon.

You said "wouldn't".

Whatever! I wouldn't!

Three hundred years and I'm the first

Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon.

First one to ride one, though.

So?

I wouldn't kill him because

he looked as frightened as I was.

I looked at him and I saw myself.

I bet he's really frightened now.

What are you going to do about it?

- Probably something stupid.

- Good, but you've already done that.

Then something crazy.

That's more like it.

Sound your positions.

Stay within earshot.

- Here!

- One length to your stern.

Listen, Stoick, I was overhearing some

of the men and, well, some of them

are wondering what it is

we're up to here. Not me, of course.

I know you're always the man

with the plan. But some,

not me, are wondering if there is

in fact a plan at all

- and what it might be.

- Find the nest and take it.

Of course. Send them running.

The old Viking fallback.

Nice and simple.

Step aside.

Bear to port.

If you're planning on getting eaten,

I'd definitely go with the Gronckle.

You were wise to seek help

from the world's most deadly weapon.

It's me.

- I love this plan.

- I didn't...

You're crazy. I like that.

So, what is the plan?

That's not really encouraging.

I was wondering where that went.

Stay low and ready your weapons.

We're here.

- Wait! What are you?

- Relax.

It's OK. It's OK.

Where are you going?

You'll need something

to help you hold on.

When we crack this mountain open,

all hell is going to break loose.

In my undies.

Good thing I brought extras.

No matter how this ends,

it ends today.

Is that it?

We've done it!

This isn't over!

Form your ranks! Hold together!

Get clear!

Beard of Thor! What is that?!

Odin help us.

Catapults!

- Get to the ships!

- No! No!

- Smart, that one.

- I was a fool.

Lead the men

to the far side of the island!

Gobber, go with the men!

I think I'll stay, in case your

thinking of doing something crazy.

I can buy them a few minutes

if I give that thing someone to hunt!
