Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 1
I know I haven't published the intro yet, but meh
[Episode begins on Outcast Island, three years after Dagur's defeat]
"Hey, isn't that the prison on Outcast Island?" asked Dagur from his spot in a golden hexagon pillar, startling everyone except Nyki and Anarchy.
"Shush, you! You're talking too loudly!" said Nyki.
Dagur repeated the question in a faint whisper.
Outcast: Mealtime, maggots!
Prisoner: But that's not bread! Why does he always get special treatment? Oh, Mr Big-shot, Mr Berserker Chief?
"Wait, what happened to Oswald the Agreeable?" asked Hiccup on seeing older Dagur.
Dagur: Oh, hey, you want some? Come here, I'll give you some. [grabs Outcast prisoner's arm through the bars] I've been meaning to tell you something for the last three years! Your. Voice. Is. Really. Annoying. [Dagur twists the prisoner's arm and opens the napkin he's been given with is hiding the key to his cell]
Dagur: Gosh, that feels good.
[Dagur then starts attacking the guards]
Outcast: He's escaped! Dagur's got out! Sound the al- [gets knocked out]
"Wait, so why is Dagur in prison?" asked Tuffnut. Nyki waved it off, staring intently at the screen although she'd rewatched it at least seven times.
"I dunno," said Ruffnut, muffled by a mouthful of popcorn.
Dagur: [more Outcasts start showing up] Oh, goodie! A challenge! [yell]
Bersekrers: Yah! Get 'em Dagur! [cheering]
[As more Outcasts come, Dagur begins fighting all of them. Then he approaches the one guarding the exit; the same one who gave him the key]
Outcast: [whimpers] No, no, Dagur, don't! I'm the one that gave you the key.
Dagur: Which makes you a traitor. [knocks him out] I hate traitors. [opens the door] It's a new day, Hiccup. Hope you're well rested.
[Scene cuts to Hiccup and Toothless flying through the air]
"Wait, is that the fishbone? On a dragon?" asked Snotlout, surprising everyone by being the first teen to come out of the speechlessness which had hit everyone. This caused an onslaught of blabbering.
"And why is he on a dragon?"
"Why hasn't anyone attacked the dragon? It hasn't even got a muzzle or anything to control it!"
"TRAITOR!" screamed Astrid, throwing her axe at the screen. Nyki waved a stick at it and it slowed down, then shot backwards and got stuck in the wall.
"Hold on a second... Sonorus! EVERYONE, SHUT UP!" screamed Nyki, unusually loudly. This shocked everyone. Toothless yelped and pawed at his ears.
"Quietus... alright. Let's get some things straight," said Nyki. "Hiccup is not a traitor. In the future, you guys are at peace with the dragons. Astrid, no axe throwing. Snotlout, no offering your axe to Astrid. Astrid, no stealing other people's axes or I will stick you in the Hive over in the corner, along with a gag, handcuffs, ankle cuffs, and a straitjacket."
The gang took a moment as this new information sunk in. Hiccup whispered to Toothless, "If we're at peace with the dragons, then that means we won't have to leave in the future!" Toothless burbled happily and nudged Hiccup, asking for scratches.
Hiccup: Okay, Bud. Let's try the new move! [Toothless dives down and shoots upwards] Woohoo! Yeah, baby! That's it, Toothless. Push it, you've got it! Climb higher! [laughs] [unhooks from the saddle and falls off] What the... Oh no, not again! Uh hey, Toothless! [Toothless dives down, parallel to Hiccup] Hey.
Hiccup: So, just plummet, or, uh any ideas? [flips body and lands on Toothless]I seriously have to get my own pair of wings.
Toothless: [grumbles]
Hiccup: Oh, quiet, you. Don't even start.
Tuffnut spontaneously burst out laughing. "I like this dragon! He has an attitude!" Upon seeing everyone's weird looks, he added, "What? If we're at peace with the dragons, we might as well befriend them instead of just sitting around doing nothing." Nyki slowly applauded this.
[Flies to Berk]
Hiccup: This is Berk. [Toothless soars over the village as villagers wave] This is Berk, too. [Toohtless flies over Hangar under construction] And so is this! [Toothless flies over dragon feeder. A Nadder pokes its head out, chewing a fish.] And this also.
"Wow, Berk has changed a lot!" said Fishlegs. "Maybe peace is a good idea, if it means we can stop worrying about fighting and instead make improvements to our village, adapting to the dragons."
"Those dragons have killed hundreds of us. We can never forgive them," said Astrid.
Hiccup: [Toothless glides over windmills] Yeah, it's been three whole years since the war with the Berserkers. And Berk has changed a lot. [Tootless flies over Snotlout] But then again, so have we. Snotlout works at the armoury now. Gobber gave him the title of "official weapons tester."
"Haha, yes! I'm an official!" said Snotlout proudly. "Now I bet Astrid will definitely love me."
"Officially dead, you mean," said Tuffnut.
Snotlout: [gets into a catapult and gets launched away] [laughs] It works!
Hiccup: The twins, to absolutely no one's surprise, have decided to dedicate their lives to Loki-
At this, the twins bounced around happily.
[The twins rush below Snotlout with a wagon of weapons]
Snotlout: Uh, Hookfang! Hookfang! [gets caught by Hookfang]
Snotlout stared in shock. How could he betray everyone by befriending a dragon? Suddenly, he noticed Astrid reaching for where she used to have her axe. For some reason, he was suddenly very grateful that Nyki had taken it away.
Hiccup: -the God of Pranks. Lucky us.
Snotlout: You just have to cut it that close, don't you? Hookfang! Ugh! There will be repercussions for this! Repercussions!
Twins: [laugh] Yes! [High five each other]
Hiccup: [Toothless flies over Fishlegs with Meatlug and a bunch of kids on her]And then there's Fishlegs, who has really found his calling, teaching the children of Berk the history of dragons.
Fishlegs hid in his brown beanbag as Astrid glared at him when she saw Meatlug.
Fishlegs: And if you look closely at the walls of the Great Hall, you'll still see puncture marks where the Speed Stingers attacked. Interesting fact about these dragons... [turns towards the steps of the Great Hall and sees Stoick and Gobber] Oh! Oh, look, kids! We're in luck. Here come two of Berk's most famous heroes.
Astrid looked at the screen. How could STOICK and GOBBER be alright with murderous beasts near children?
Stoick: Ho ho! Heroes? I've got some Chiefing to do, but I guess I could spare a moment...
Fishlegs: Hiccup and the amazing Toothless! [Toothless soars over them]
The twins said "Oof" at the same time. Meanwhile, Hiccup was staring at the screen, not sure he heard it right. Heroes? He and Toothless were heroes? Astrid and Snotlout were both also thinking of calling an ear doctor.
"How'd the fishbone become a hero?" asked Snotlout incredulously. "He's on a dragon!"
"To quote my good friend Amber, he's a hero because he's on a dragon," said Nyki.
[The kids cheer]
Stoick: ...eh, to introduce my son and his Night Fury! [laughs] Hooray.
[Toothless flies over the sea, when Stormfly and Astrid fly towards them]
Astrid choked on air. A fairly young girl flew out of a ring of purple fire. Black wings like a Night Fury's folded as she punched AStrid in the back. "Don't choke," she advised.
"Speedy! Glad you could make it! You didn't miss much, just a bit of the beginning of Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part One," said Nyki excitedly. The teens looked at Nyki as though she was a book written in the language of Mordor. What was "Dragon Eye of the Beholder?" What was "Part One?" Why was there a hybrid? Why was there a Night Fury bounding after Speedy without attacking everyone?
Hiccup: Hey, there you are.
Astrid: Hiccup, I've been chasing you since the armoury.
Hiccup: Well, I thought we'd try out the far North today.
Astrid: Uh, can we talk about something first?
Hiccup: Yeah, sure... if you can catch me!
Everyone stared at the screen. Were Hiccup and Astrid... friends?
[Scene cuts to Hiccup's view through his spy glass]
Hiccup: I'm just going to say it, I have a really good feeling about today, Astrid.
Astrid: You say that every time we go searching for new dragons. Hiccup, can we have a second? I wanted to talk to you about... [Hiccups tosses her spyglass]
"Why would anyone go out looking for dragons?" wondered Fishlegs. Nyki didn't answer, as she was far too busy discussing something about dragons returning from some hidden world with Speedy.
Hiccup: Whoa, look, look, look, look! Did you see that? There's definitely some movement up ahead. Long neck... Large head... Behind that rock formation.
Astrid: Yeah, anyway, I wanted to tell you. [Toothless and Hiccup zooms ahead] [sighs and rolls eyes]
Hiccup: This is it, Toothless! A new species of dragon, bud! [stops in front of rock formation and sees the twins and their dragon]
Twins: Loki'd!
Tuffnut: You totally thought "Barch" was a new dragon!
Hiccup: Oh, come on! Did not! Let's go, bud.
The twins both shared their thoughts on the matter: "Yes, you totally did!"
Tuffnut: Wow, who yakked in his mutton?
Snotlout scoffed. "A yak. Obviously. Such idiots, right, Astrid?" Astrid grabbed his arm and flipped him off his red beanbag into Tuffnut's green one, which was sparkly and mildly pointy at the edges due to Tuffnut's love of spikes. Tuffnut stroked a chicken which appeared out of nowhere. "'Tis you who is the idiot, Snotlout!" he declared in an eloquent accent.
[Scene cuts to Hiccup and Toothless sitting on a sea stack]
Astrid: Hiccup, those guys are muttonheads. But you have to admit, we've visited every island, every sea stack and every rock in the archipelago. And we haven't spotted a new dragon in a long time.
Hiccup: This can't be all there is! There has to be something more out there!
Astrid: What if there isn't, Hiccup? What if we're done? What if the search is over?
Hiccup: It can't be.
Astrid: [sighs] Well, it's over for me. I've been trying to tell you. Stormfly and I... We're joining the Berk Guard.
Astrid thought about this from her blue beanbag. Why would she do anything with a dragon?
Hiccup: Oh. That's great... I'm happy for you guys... [sulks]
Astrid: Look, maybe you should give some thought to what's next for you and Toothless. [mounts onto Stormfly and flies away]
[Scene cuts to Hiccup and Toothless standing in the Academy at night]
Hiccup: [closes Astrid's door] I guess it's just you and me for now, bud. [leaves Academy with Toothless]
[scene cuts to Mulch and Bucket's boat in the ocean]
Bucket: [struggles with the fishing net] I can't get it! [pants]
Mulch: What's the problem, Bucket?
Bucket: I'm not sure, Mulch! I can't raise the net! Something's pulling that end down!
Both: SEA MONSTER! [net pulled into the ocean] [sea water shoots at them]
[The twins emerge from under the water, waving their hands]
Twins: Loki'd! [they laugh]
Bucket: Oh, you- [realizes Trader Johann is sitting behind Tuffnut] Johann?
Johann: Help me!
Tuffnut: Oh man, you should see the looks on your faces. Priceless!
Twins: Full Loki'd!
Tuffnut: Bet you've never saw a full Loki coming, am I right, Johann? Johann?
Johann: [spits out water]
[Scene cuts to the Haddock house when Hiccup enters]
Stoick: Hiccup! What are you doing home so early?
Hiccup: Oh, I just... wanted to spend some time with my dear old dad. Yeah, you know, we never get to talk anymore. So...
Everyone except for Nyki, Speedy, the Night Fury, and Anarchy blinked in surprise. Hiccup wondered how he'd come to such friendly terms with his father, the chief of Berk.
Stoick: Alright. What is it?
Hiccup: What's what?
Stoick: What is it?
Hiccup: Can't a son spend some quality time with his family?
Stoick: Not this one. Not usually, at least. So, let's hear it.
Hiccup: [sighs] All right. Did you know Astrid just joined the Berk Guard?
Stoick: I heard that. Good for her.
Hiccup: And the other riders have got their different things going on?
Riders? wondered the gang.
Stoick: What are you saying, son?
Hiccup: I'm saying, I don't know. Maybe it's time for me...
[door opens with the twins supporting Trader Johann]
Nyki's eye flashed white-blue and she smacked her fist into her hand.
Stoick: Johann! What happened to you?
Trader Johann: [moans] Ooh... Dagur!
Hiccup: What about Dagur?
Trader Johann: He's out! He's more Berserk than ever! And from the way he was talking, Hiccup. You're number one on his revenge list! [passes out]
[Scene cuts to the Academy]
Hiccup: All we got from Johann before he passed out was this, Dagur escaped from Outcast Island by commandeering his ships. [points to map] He threw Johann overboard about here.
Snotlout: Oh, so what you're saying is Dagur could be anywhere by now.
Hiccup: Well, technically, yes.
Snotlout: Oh, great. Great, great, great. So that just leaves... I don't know, let me think about this... the entire ocean to search! No, thank you!
"I don't know about you guys, but I agree with my future self!" yelled Snotlout. Everyone ignored him.
Trader Johann: Master Hiccup.
Hiccup: Johann, you're awake.
Trader Johann: And feeling much better, thank you for asking. More importantly, I have more than a strong suspicion of where our nefarious foe may be heading.
Hiccup: Outside the Archipelago?
Trader Johann: No! Just inside the fog bank on our outer group of islands.
Hiccup: We've never been out that far.
"He's right! All our ships have typically been used to find the dragon's Nest. Does this mean we finally get to see what's out there?" asked Fishlegs.
Trader Johann: When Dagur commandeered my precious ship, he also came into possession of a very important map... one that leads to a graveyard of ships hidden in that fog bank.
Snotlout: Wow! That's the first place I'd go.
Trader Johann: If I may be allowed to finish?
Snotlout: Johann, last time we allowed you to finish, we ended up on Breakneck Bog. So, no! No finishing!
"When would Snotlout get the guts to go to Breakneck Bog?" wondered Ruffnut.
Hiccup: Enough! What's so special about the graveyard and why would he go there?
Trader Johann: Well, you see...
Hiccup: The short version, please.
Trader Johann: It's where I store all my treasures and wares.
[everyone stares, surprised]
Everyone blinked, except for Speedy, who commented, "I suppose all that faking must get tiresome." Trader Johann stared at her in horror from his place in the Hive: Had she discovered his goals? Echo shot a purple fireball at him. The translucent golden walls of the Hive absorbed it, but the area which the blast had hit glowed purple and smoked before cooling down.
Tuffnut: Wow, concise, to the point. Who knew he had it in him?
Johann: Which reminds me of the first time I was labelled as "concise"! He was a young man, very ugly, I actually...
"Do you think Tuffnut realizes the traitor's talking about him?" wondered a girl who appeared out of a pillar of purple fire. She looked as though she was half-Night Fury, with nubs, a tail, and wings.
Hiccup: Johann!
Trader Johann: Yes?
Hiccup: Focus. Is there anything else?
Trader Johann: As a matter of fact, there is one ship you must avoid at all cost. It's called... The Reaper. Riddled with booby traps from stem to stern. Barely made it out with my life the only time I dared venture aboard. Oh, wow!
Hiccup: Okay, Toothless, let's go. Unless, of course, any of you can make time out of your busy schedules to capture a dangerous maniac?
[scene cuts to the gang flying in the air]
"Wow! We all get dragons?" exclaimed Tuffnut, dropping the chicken. Chicken squawked at him and jumped into his lap.
Hiccup: This is pretty great, huh, bud? Seems like forever since we all flew as a group. Let's see how rusty they are. V Formation! [dragons form a 'V' shape in the air] Not bad. Diamond Formation! [dragons form a diamond in the air]
Tuffnut: How rusty does this guy think we are?
Fishlegs: [squished between Barf and Belch and Meatlug] Uh... guys? [cough] A little tight on the diamond, aren't we?
Hiccup: [chuckles] Just like old times.
"Old times?" wondered Hiccup. He got to be a Dragon Rider in the future, but not just for a little? It wouldn't be a failed attempt?
Snotlout: Five thousand pounds of flaming muscle coming through!
Hiccup: Ever a class act.
[scene cuts to the Ship Graveyard at night]
Hiccup: I knew it! I knew there was more!
Astrid: Some of these ships, I've never seen anything like them before.
Hiccup: Okay, everybody fan out! If anyone sees any signs of Dagur, sound the signal.
[with Stormfly and Astrid]
Astrid: It's alright, Stormfly. Nothing to worry about.
[with Meatlug and Fishlegs]
Fishlegs: Don't be nervous, girl. We don't want you to... [Meatlug spews] do that...
[eels swim up from under the water]
"Gah! Eels!" yelped Snotlout, hugging an annoyed Monstrous Nightmare.
"Snotlout, you're standing next to a Monstrous Nightmare!" said Fishlegs, panicking a little.
"Maybe he'll get eaten!" said Ruffnut excitedly. The Nightmare sat there, looking annoyed.
"That's Hookfang, you guys. Snotlout's dragon," called Nyki. "He won't attack you. I' not including Snotlout in that count."
[with Hookfang and Snotlout]
Snotlout: Haha, Hookfang! These guys are awful sailors! [crashes into mast] Oof! A little help here... Hookfang! Hey! I saw that look! What did we talk about?
Hookfang snorted.
[with Hiccup and Toothless]
Hiccup: That's gotta be the Reaper.
[The gang gathers]
Hiccup: Not a sign of Dagur.
Astrid: Looks like we've got here first. What's the plan?
Hiccup: We wait.
Fishlegs: Wait a minute. For how long? This fog really gives Meatlug the willies.
Astrid: He has a point. We can't wait here forever.
Hiccup: We can't just leave Johann's treasure here either. Dagur will steal them!
Dagur pouted in his section of the Hive. That wasn't fair. He did not steal things. He forcibly took them. He didn't sneak up on people and rob them. Where was the honor in that?
Astrid: And use the profit to build a new armada.
Ruffnut: Not if we steal them first!
Tuffnut: That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard! I hereby disown you.
"Actually, you know what? I actually like it!" said Hiccup in time with the movie, deciding it was safe to come out and sit in the pile of black beanbags. Toothless burbled agreeably. The gang shrieked, causing Nyki to give them an annoyed look and summon heavy blankets to fall on them from traps above.
Hiccup: Actually, you know what? I actually like it!
Tuffnut: Welcome back to the family!
Hiccup: Here's the plan. We search the ship, gather Johann's treasure and take it back to Berk. But keep your eyes open for Dagur. He could show up anytime...
[loud hissing]
Astrid: What is that?
Tuffnut: Has Dagur's voice changed?
Everyone - bar Tuffnut - facepalmed.
Hiccup: Eels! Everybody get to your dragons before they get spooked and take off!
Fishlegs: Ohhhh... Hold me, Meatlug!
[All dragons except for Toothless take off]
Astrid snorted, folding her arms with an "I told you so" look. Stormfly squawked, mildly offended. Everyone except Tuffnut would have yelled with terror, but arrows with bags of flour on the end landed squarely in their face, muffling them.
Snotlout: Hookfang!
Astrid: Stormfly!
Snotlout: [giant eel emerges] AHHHHHH!
Hiccup: Calm down, bud! It's only a couple of eels! Really big, screaming, mean eels...
[Eels start sinking the ship]
Tuffnut: AHHHH!
Fishlegs: The eels are pulling the ship down!
Snotlout: Fishlegs! Grab my foot! [Fishlegs grabs his foot] Oh, you ate a full breakfast! [entire gang grabs each other's feet] You ate everybody's breakfast!
Meatlug growled at the annoying human. By now, most people were getting used to this, but Snotlout still required a flour-arrow and Fishlegs gave a small squeak of surprise.
Tuffnut: We're gonna live!
Astrid: [slips] Hold it-- AHHHH!
Hiccup: Astrid! No!
Tuffnut: Most of us are gonna live!
Astrid: HICCUP!
[She lands in the water and the giant eels surround her. She draws her axe, then Hiccup and Toothless dive into the water and save her.]
Maybe Hiccup's not so bad... thought Astrid. He saved me after everything I did, everything I said.
Astrid: Thanks, Hiccup!
Snotlout: Pardon me. Does anyone else think that Johann could have warned us about... I don't know... THE GIANT SCREAMING EELS?!
"How is Snotlout the only one who sees sense in that scene?" asked Night Fury hybrid #2. Nyki shrugged, also mystified. "Good point, Echo."
Hiccup: Snotlout, would you relax? The dragons will be back. In the meantime, we stick with the plan. We find Johann's treasure. Quietly.
Snotlout: [stomps heavily]
[Hiccup sighs]
Astrid: Why are you staring at that ship?
Hiccup: Because I'm thinking of checking it out.
Astrid: The Reaper? The ship Johann warned us about?
Hiccup: Exactly. A ship covered with booby traps from step to stern. I'm thinking, what is on there they don't want people to find?
[Hiccup and Toothless fly to the Reaper alone]
Hiccup: This boat is definitely not from the archipelago. These carvings, the design on the sail... I've never seen anything like this. And this metal...
Hiccup: Come on, bud, it's just an empty cage.
Both: [bird flies out of the cage] Ah!
Toothless: [gives Hiccup a look]
Hiccup: Okay, now... now it's an empty cage.
Tuffnut laughed uproariously. Everyone gave him weird looks.
[scene cuts to the ship the rest of the gang is on]
Tuffnut: Jewels, jewels! You know what we're gonna do? We're bringing them back for the family. Mom will be so happy. Wait, but how are we going to carry all these back to Berk?
[Ruffnut reveals jewels in her mouth]
Tuffnut: [gasps] Great idea, sis! I can't believe I didn't think about that. Here, I may do it too. I'm also gonna put jewels in your mouth. [shoves jewels into Ruffnut's mouth] Yeah! I gotta keep mine empty so I can talk.
Ruffnut threw a flour-arrow at her brother after taking apart one of the arrow-shooters with the help of the ghosts of Fili and Kili and Barf, who had randomly appeared along with Belch. Snotlout was the lone screamer this time. Ruffnut fired three flour-arrows at once after reassembling the arrow launcher.
Ruffnut: Ah! [muffled] Keep comin'. Keep 'em coming. Ah! Ooh!
Fishlegs: Whoo! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Fishlegs! [giggles] Maps, old books, charts! Oh ho ho ho! There's no greater treasure than knowledge.
Snotlout would have made a stupid remark if he hadn't been muffled with more flour-arrows.
Snotlout: I'm gonna be rich! I'm gonna be rich! Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich! [spies an ornate chest] Hmm, well, hello, Mr Ornate Box. What treasures do you hold? [laughs] Rich! Ho! Rich! [opens box] Hair! Ew! Who keeps hair in a box? There's got to be more! More hair? Ech! Man, what a rip-off. [realizes it's the hair of deceased royalties] Or is it? I'm Stoick the Vast! Hiccup, you're such a disappointment! Why can't you be more like Snotlout? Eh, I'm Ruffnut... or am I Tuffnut? Who can tell? [laughs] I'm... Oh, actually, this is kind of nice.
Snotlout choked on nothing. Echo threw a spear at him hilt-first with perfect accuracy so that the butt of the spear hit him in the chest.
"What did Speedy say about choking?" she asked. Nyki muttered something about walls.
[Scene cuts back to Hiccup and Toothless on the Reaper]
Hiccup: Come on, bud. Don't you want to see what's down below? All right, fine. Guess I'm going alone. [rope latches onto Hiccup's foot and drags him off the ship] Ah! Whoa! Whoa! [Toothless saves him]
Toothless purred happily as he received his scratches.
Hiccup: Okay. Nobody goes to this much trouble unless there's something on this boat that they don't want found. [enters ship] Watch your step, bud. Ooh, Toothless. [bear trap clamps onto Hiccups leg] One of the benefits of a metal leg, I suppose. Okay, let's just take this nice and...
Toothless: [whines, stares into a cage]
Hiccup: Dragon bones. I'm sorry you had to see this, bud. Whoever commanded this ship was certainly no friend of dragons. Let's get out of here. [steps onto a plank, arrows shoot out from walls] All right, come on, Toothless! Let's go! Commander's quarters. Stay close, bud. Okay, so here's the plan...
[Toothless blows up the door]
Tuffnut slowly clapped.
Hiccup: I like yours better! [sees Dragon Eye] What is this thing? [approaches Dragon Eye held by a skeleton] Whatever it is, if it's on this ship, it's no good for dragons. Which means we're not leaving it here for Dagur. [lifts up skeletal hand] Ew.... Huh. Well, that wasn't too... [axe falls down] GIANT AXE! Toothless, run! [spikes jut out from the floor] Watch it, Toothless! [arrows fly towards the] Whoa! [runs out the ship, sees Dagur] Toothless, hold.
Dagur: Hiccup! Did you miss me? 'Cause I sure missed you. Every day for three years, I thought about you. [Steps aside to reveal the Dragon Riders locked in the cage behind him]
Hiccup: Astrid!
Dagur: And you too, Mr Night Fury.
"So clearly, Dagur has had some altercations with Hiccup and the Night Fury. That's how the previously-called "fishbone" became his enemy," stated Tuffnut as though it was obvious.
Astrid: Sorry, Hiccup. He got the drop on us while we were searching...
Dagur: Uh, quiet! Can't you see my brother and I are having a moment?
Hiccup blinked. "Um, just to be clear, he is NOT my brother."
Hiccup: I'm not your brother and we are definitely not having a moment.
Dagur: Oh, well, I was. Look at you, all grown up! And quite the ladies' man, I'd wager. Hmm? Hmm?
Astrid acknowledged that Hiccup was actually kind of cute. She also realized that she had been too busy being so terrible to him and seeing him as useless that she hadn't noticed all of his good qualities. She considered saying sorry, but was scared of Toothless misinterpreting her intentions and attacking her. It wasn't easy to let go of a fifteen-year old fear, after all.
Hiccup: Dagur, what do you want?
Snotlout: Duh, [flips his new-found royal hair] he wants the jewels.
Tuffnut: He's not getting my family's jewels. No way! And I'll protect them at all cost! Also, what is with that hair?
Snotlout: Ha! It's royal hair, I'll have you know.
Dagur: Haven't gotten rid of the Greek Chorus, I see. Anyway, yes, I'll take the jewels. His too.
Ruffnut screamed angrily and fired a barrage of flour-arrows with extreme accuracy at Dagur in his cell in the Hive. The arrows passed through the walls, but didn't go through Dagur or the opposite wall. Instantly, his cell was full of white powder.
Ruffnut: [Crew member hits her] Watch it, pal!
Crew member: [laughs]
[Ruffnut spits a jewel into the crew member's mouth]
Crew member: Oh! [gagging]
Everyone applauded Ruffnut, including the hybrids (Nyki had grown a glowing white bulge at the base of her neck and had a stormy grey tail curled up around her feet.)
Dagur: Oops, thought that was the guy. Never can tell with those two.
Tuffnut spammed the button for the flour-arrows, accidentally triggering a bunch of sparks to explode into his face and singe his hair.
Dagur: And I'll also take whatever it is you're hiding behind your back. Come on, hand it over like a good boy. Brothers share, you know.
Hiccup facepalmed.
Hiccup: [hands over Dragon Eye] You know you're not going to get very far with that thing, right?
Dagur: Oh, boy, here we go. Must we always do the same dance, Hiccup, you and I? Not that you're not a fabulous dancer.
[Toothless growls]
Hiccup: Easy, bud, not yet.
Dagur: That's right, Mr Night Fury. Today is not the day, but it's coming! And soon. Now, if you'll excuse me. I've got people to see, an army to build, revenge to plot. Ooh, so much to do and so little time! Isn't this exciting, Hiccup? You... You must have been so bored over the last three years.
"I'm definitely using that sometime," said Nyki. "Imagine telling your teacher that whenever you want to storm out of class!" agreed Echo.
Tuffnut: Yeah, he's got a point about that. Not enough explosions.
Dagur: Alas, my time here has come to an end. Farewell, for now, brother. Until we meet again on the field of battle. [leaves ship]
[Hiccup tries to open the cage]
Astrid: Forget about us! Go after him!
Snotlout: What are you waiting for?!
Hiccup: Are you guys sure you'll be okay?
Astrid: We're fine! Go!
Hiccup looked worriedly at on-screen Astrid.
"Um... um, Hiccup, I just wanted to say... I'm sorry. For being so terrible to you before. I was wrong to do that," said Astrid nervously, Stormfly having pushed Astrid's beanbag over to Hiccup's beanbag empire. Toothless winked at Stormfly.
"Oh no, Astrid, it's fine," said Hiccup, a little overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. "It was mostly Snotlout who bullied me." Astrid nodded a little, unsure.
"But so did I. I should have been a better person."
"Astrid."
"What?"
"Listen to me."
"Alright..."
