How to Train Your Dragon (2025)

[bunniefuu]

This is Berk.

So far off the map that

it might as well not exist.

My village?

In a word, sturdy.

It's been here for generations,

but every single building

is new.

The air is crisp,

the water is clean,

and the views are nothing

to complain about.

The only downsides

are the pests.

You see, most places

have mice or mosquitoes.

We have...

Dragons.

Most people would leave.

Not us.

We're Vikings.

We don't run from fights.

We start them.

-Hey! Hiccup!

-Evening.

Go home!

I will just as soon as I, uh...

You're in the way again!

Hiccup, play dead!

You see, dragons have been

a bit of a problem.

Here and, well, everywhere.

So we decided to take

the fight to them.

How's that working out for us?

Eh...

-Whoa!

-What are you doing?

What is he doing out again?

Get inside. Go on.

That's Stoick the Vast,

chief of the tribe.

They say, when he was a baby,

he popped a dragon's head

clean off its shoulders.

Do I believe it?

-Yes, I do.

-What have we got?

Gronckles, Nadders,

Zipplebacks, Skrills.

Snorti spotted

a Monstrous Nightmare.

Any Night Furies?

None so far, Chief.

Good.

-Follow me.

-Right, Chief.

Come on, you wretches!

You heard him. Come on, lads.

Oh. Out again?

Just pretend I'm not even here.

I'll be in and out

before you can say...

Not so fast.

Come on, please.

The meathead with attitude

and interchangeable hands

is Gobber.

Here. Go on.

I've been his apprentice

-ever since I was little.

-I'm keeping my eye on you.

I'm not even supposed

to be out here.

Ha! Since when did that

ever stop you?

Guard the food stores.

-Aye, Chief.

-Protect the livestock.

Aye, Stoick.

And keep an ear out

for Night Furies.

Hammer.

Fire brigade!

Ah, the fire brigade.

Berk's cool kids.

They get to be out

in the action.

Guys, out of the way!

But they're nothing

without their captain,

the shining star

of our generation.

A-Amazing without even trying.

The one that smokes them all.

Astrid.

What?

Uh...

Shouldn't you be in bed?

Come on, back to work.

You know,

I need to get out there.

Show my stuff, make my mark.

You've made plenty of marks,

all in the wrong places.

Give me two minutes.

I'll-I'll take down a dragon.

My life will get

infinitely better.

I might even get a girlfriend.

There's a Zippleback

behind you!

Astrid?

But she's a real Viking.

You can't wield a hammer.

You can't swing an axe.

You can't even throw

one of these.

See, but this...

this will throw it for me.

-Oh, another one.

-It's fully redesigned.

It-it's...

-Whoa!

-Whew!

It's, uh...

double-barreled.

You see, this right here...

this is what I'm talking about.

Okay, this is a mild cal...

mild calibration issue.

If you ever want

to get out there

and start fighting dragons,

you've got to stop all of...

all of this.

You just gestured to all of me.

Yeah. Stop being all of you.

Oh...

Oh, yeah.

You, sir, are playing

a dangerous game.

Keeping this contained?

There will be consequences.

Well, I will take my chances.

Sword-- sharpen. Now.

One day, I'll get out there.

Because k*lling a dragon

is everything around here.

Gronckles are tough.

Taking one down

would at least get me noticed.

A Zippleback?

Exotic, exciting.

Two heads, twice the status.

Lopping off a Nadder's head

would definitely show them

I belong.

Come on, lads!

They found the sheep.

Then let loose

with everything we've got.

And then there's

the Monstrous Nightmare.

Reload!

Only the best Vikings

go after those.

But the ultimate prize

is the dragon

that no one has ever seen.

-We call it the...

-Night Fury!

Jump!

And we've got a Night Fury.

Never steals food,

never shows itself.

And never misses.

Time for old Gobber

to take over.

Stay put here.

Here. I'm serious.

No one has

ever k*lled a Night Fury.

Attack!

That's why

I'm going to be the first.

-You again? Get back inside!

-I'll make a point of it.

You're going to get

yourself k*lled, Hiccup!

I know! Sorry.

Here, give me that.

Mind yourself!

This Nadder still has

some fire in it.

Come on.

Give me something to sh**t at.

Give me something to sh**t at.

Come on, show yourself.

I hit it.

I hit it!

Did anybody see that?

Except for you.

Oh, gods.

Spitelout,

do not let that escape.

Thanks a lot.

You're all out.

Let's see what else

you're made of.

Aye, that's what I thought.

Oh, and there's one

more thing to know.

Look out!

Sorry, Dad.

Watch out!

Okay, but I hit a Night Fury.

Dad, this isn't like

any other time.

I mean, I really hit one.

Aye, a dragon

no one's ever seen.

Because it uses night

as its camouflage.

If you squint, you can see it

blotting out the stars.

-That's how I shot it down.

-Stop!

Stop.

Every time you step outside,

disaster happens.

Can you not see

that I have bigger problems?

Winter is almost here,

and I have an entire village

to feed.

Between you and me,

the village could do

with a little less feeding.

This isn't a joke, Hiccup!

Why can't you follow

the simplest orders?

Because I can't stop myself.

Okay? I see a dragon,

and I have to just... k*ll it.

You know, i-it's...

it's who I am.

You are many things, son,

but a dragon k*ller

is not one of them.

Get back to the house.

Make sure he stays there.

How much can one person mess up?

Anyone else would have been

booted off the island by now.

I guess being son of the chief

has its privileges.

If not for the chief, though...

Anyway, my dad's

super proud of me, so...

Dad, I was just talking...

Don't talk to me in public.

You know, I really did hit one.

Of course you did, Hiccup.

He never listens.

Well, that runs in the family.

And-and when he does,

it's always with

some disappointed scowl,

like somebody forgot

the meat in the stew.

I've seen that look.

Oi. You're thinking

about this all wrong, eh?

It's not so much

what you look like.

It's what's inside of you

he can't stand.

Thank you for summing that up.

W-Wait. The point is...

stop trying so hard

to be something you're not.

I just want to be

one of you guys.

I know you do.

No one said it would be easy!

But may I remind you,

we are all descendants

of the finest dragon fighters

from everywhere

Vikings have traveled,

who gathered here

because they knew

that we were within

spitting distance

of a key dragon's nest.

If we can just take it,

we can wipe out the devils

for good.

Take it? We can't even find it.

Exactly.

This nest is starting to sound

more and more like a fairy tale.

We're exhausted.

And what do we have

to show for it, eh?

Nothing!

We have purpose.

Oh, come on.

We are the warriors of Berk,

the roughest, toughest tribe

this side of the sun.

No?

Phlegma.

We watched you take down

a Zippleback singlehandedly.

I mean, sure, you lost your leg

in the process,

but you came out on top,

didn't you?

-Well...

-Yes, you did.

Retcha, your people came

from the Far East.

Fungi, yours all the way

from-from the Silk Road.

Loogi, your people came

from the sunbaked coasts

of Blland.

And look at us.

We're still here.

We're still fighting.

We're still watching

each other's backs.

So are we really gonna pack up

and go home

while these bloody beasts

are still a threat

to all of our lands?

Is that who we are?

-No.

-Is it?

-No.

-Is it?!

No!

Is it?!

No!

Is it?

Uh, no, Chief, I guess not.

That's what I thought.

Elder Gothi, give us a sign.

Do we stand a chance

of finding the nest

before the ice sets in?

Then that's all I need.

Back into the fog we go.

All right, everyone.

Prepare the ships!

Do I take my bucket hand

for when they burn our ships

or my swimming hand

for when they sink them?

Not so fast, Gobber.

I don't have time to train

this year's recruits,

so you'll do it.

Ah, the old rite of passage.

Hiccup's just come of age,

hasn't he?

I meant the others.

Yeah, so while I'm busy,

he'll c-cover the stall.

Molten steel,

razor-sharp blades,

lots of time on his hands.

What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, what am I gonna do

with him, Gobber?

Stick him in training.

No. I'm serious.

Yeah, so am I.

The kid wants this

more than anything.

Believe it or not,

that young man actually

wants to make you proud.

But he's got a mind of his own.

Gets that from his mother.

Look what happened to her.

Yeah, 'cause Valka was

the stubborn one.

-See, when I was a boy...

-Oh, here we go.

I-I followed orders.

Right? I worked hard.

Because I believed

in what a-a Viking could do.

Crush mountains,

level forests, tame seas.

I knew what I was

and what I had to become.

Hiccup is... he's not that boy.

What chance does he have

of following in my footsteps?

Yeah.

You can't stop him, Stoick.

You can only prepare him.

Because the truth is

we aren't always gonna

be around to protect him.

He's gonna get out there again.

He's probably out there now.

How could I lose

an entire dragon?!

I did it.

I did it!

Oh, why couldn't you

have been dead?

Now I have to k*ll you.

Hiccup.

Dad. Uh...

Look, I need

to talk to you, Dad.

I need to speak

with you, too, son.

I've decided I don't want

-to fight dragons.

-I think it's time

you learn to fight dragons.

What?

Well, you go first.

No, no, no, no.

You-you go first.

You get your wish.

Dragon training.

Start in the morning.

Oh, man, I really

should've gone first.

You know,

'cause I-I was thinking,

we have a surplus

of dragon-fighting Vikings,

but do we have enough

bread-making Vikings or...

You'll need this.

Dad... I don't want

to fight dragons.

Come on.

Yes, you do.

No, let me rephrase.

I can't k*ll dragons.

But you will.

No, I'm very extra sure

that I won't.

It's time, Hiccup.

Uh... can you not hear me?

Can you not hear me?!

The Trial of Flame is

where Vikings are made.

Where heroes are forged,

where future chiefs are born.

I... I'm none of those things.

I'm not like you, Dad.

Listen.

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 feeling

very one-sided.

Deal?

Deal.

Good.

Train hard.

I'll be back.

Probably.

And I'll be here.

Maybe.

Welcome to the Trial of Flame.

The moment

we've all been waiting for.

I just got to pick a spot

for my statue.

It's so much bigger

from down here.

Can you guys believe

we're actually standing here?

This is where Chief Greybile

slew the Whispering Death.

Yeah, and it's where

Chief Tuffnut

will slay everything else.

-Watch and learn.

-Man, I can't wait

to get some

legendary w*r wounds!

Yeah, like a nasty gash

right across my face.

-Call me boring...

-Boring.

...but I'm just excited to see

some real live dragons up close.

You know, I could do without

the permanent injuries and...

Oh, where's the glory in that?

Yeah, it's only fun

if you get a scar out of it.

I know, right?

Pain.

Love it.

Oh, great. Who let him in?

Mm, I guess Daddy pulled

some strings, huh?

Aren't you two, like,

a little old to be here?

-Ouch. -Wait, what did you say,

whippersnapper?

What did you say?

Can you say it again?

Yeah, touchy subject.

They've flunked dragon training

a few times.

Um, it was four times, actually.

Yeah, and it's called

being held back.

As in too valuable to let go of.

Real sensitive, Hiccup.

Nice name, by the way.

Your name is Snotlout.

Exactly.

It's a manly Viking name.

Translates from

the ancient texts as

"one who beateth the snot

out of a..."

Shut up.

Let's get started.

Bloody kids.

You are now the latest to join

this time-honored tradition.

Every toe biter

born into our tribe

must one day survive this arena

if they ever hope to do battle

alongside the rest of us.

It will be grueling.

And it will be

very, very dangerous.

But whoever does best will win

the title of Top Slayer.

And with it...

And with it, the honor

of k*lling their first dragon

in front of the entire village.

There is no greater glory.

What?

Hiccup already k*lled

a Night Fury,

so does that, like, what,

disqualify him or...

Oh, ignore him.

You're skinny.

You're weak.

That'll make you

less of a target.

They'll see you

as slim pickings.

Not worth the effort.

They'll go after the more, uh...

Viking-like teens instead.

Behind these doors are just

a few of the many species

you will learn to fight.

The Deadly Nadder.

Attack eight, armor 16.

The Hideous Zippleback.

Plus 11 stealth, times two.

The Monstrous Nightmare.

-Firepower 15.

-The Terrible Terror.

-Attack eight, venom 12!

-Will you stop that!

You big bag of wool.

And finally,

the gruesome Gronckle.

Jaw strength eight.

Uh, hey, big guy,

aren't you gonna, like,

teach us something first?

I believe in learning

on the job.

Today is all about defense.

If you get blasted, you're out.

Or, you know, dead.

So what's the first thing

you're gonna need?

-A shield!

-Shield, yes. Go.

-Out of my way.

-That one's mine!

Shield is your most important

piece of equipment.

If you have to choose between

a weapon and a shield...

Just put it down.

Take the shield.

-Give it!

-Mine, mine, mine!

Find your own shield!

Ruffnut, Tuffnut, you're out.

Shields are good

for another thing: noise.

Make plenty of it

to throw off the dragon's aim.

Remember, all dragons have

a limited number of blasts.

How many does a Gronckle have?

Ooh, ooh! Six!

Six, yes.

That's one for each of you.

Although, interesting tidbit,

rocks from different regions

vary in mineral comp...

What are you do...

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Get in there!

Fishlegs, you're out.

-Four shots left.

-Yeah.

We're pretty much gonna be

the stars of this thing.

Almost like we were meant

to be together.

It's an elimination game,

genius.

There's only one Top Slayer.

Snotlout, you're done.

Three shots.

Looks like it's just

you and me, huh?

Nope. Just me.

Hey! Eyes on me!

Yes. Well done, Astrid.

Two shots left.

Oh, come on.

Hiccup, you're out.

-One shot left.

-Hey, watch it!

Hiccup!

End of lesson.

Back to bed,

you overgrown sausage.

Remember, a dragon

will always, always...

...go for the k*ll.

So, why didn't you?

Okay.

Huh.

Let's review, shall we?

Where did Astrid go wrong

in the ring today?

I mistimed my somersault dive.

It was sloppy.

It threw off my reverse tumble.

-Uh, yeah. We noticed.

-Hey.

Back off my girl. All right?

-She's trying her best.

-Yeah.

Don't beat yourself up.

You'll get it.

Just follow my lead next time.

Astrid's right.

You've got to be tough

on yourselves.

All it takes is one weak link.

You made it, then?

You got to start

taking this seriously,

because we are living

in a battleground.

And in case you haven't noticed,

the other side is winning.

You're gonna need

every advantage you can get.

So, if you haven't done

your homework,

allow me to present to you...

...the Book of Dragons.

Everything we know

about every dragon we know of.

Each of your tribes

brought their wisdom

and experience to these pages.

It's our most hallowed

possession.

No dragon raids tonight,

so study up.

You mean read?

I've read it

like a hundred times.

There's a Scauldron that sprays

your face with boiling water.

And then there's, um, another...

Why would I read words

when I can just k*ll the stuff

the words tell me stuff about?

Right? I mean, like,

I'm the kind of guy

that other guys

write word books about.

Nice.

-Boys!

-Don't worry, though.

I'm here for all of your

dragon-related inquiries, okay?

Theories, stats.

I've even made, um, cards, um...

You can ask me anything.

-Stop following me.

-Here.

How about now? Try me now.

Absolutely not.

So...

sounds like a gruesome,

grisly, good time, huh?

Read it.

Y-You know, uh...

maybe they're not as bad

as we think they are.

Are you actually insane,

or do you just act that way?

Is-is there...

is there a third option?

Wiping out dragons

is why we're here.

It's why the best

of our tribes came together.

Because yes, dragons are

as bad as we think.

Y-Yeah, I-I know.

I'm just saying,

maybe we're part of the problem.

You know, moving in on

their lands, eating their food.

Wow.

You live in

a different world, don't you?

What?

Just coast by,

taking it all for granted.

Well, I don't think that...

Never having to work

for anything,

never struggling

to get a foot up.

Well, guess what.

I come from nothing.

No chief for a dad,

no handouts, no excuses.

I'm not afraid of hard work.

I'm willing to do whatever

it takes to get the job done,

which, in this case,

means wiping out the dragons

for the good of everyone.

Yeah.

You know what else?

I'm-I'm afraid... afraid to ask.

I've got my eye

on that big house of yours.

I'm gonna be chief one day.

I-I don't doubt it.

Actually, I think

my dad would be thrilled.

Besides, you're the kid

he always hoped for.

Instead, he got...

all this.

Stay out of my way, Hiccup.

"Dragon classifications.

"Strike class. Fear class.

Mystery class.

"Thunderdrum.

"When startled, the Thunderdrum

produces a concussive sound

"that can k*ll a man

at close range.

"Extremely dangerous.

k*ll on sight.

"Timberjack.

"Skrill. Whispering Death.

"Burns its victims.

Buries its victims.

"Chokes its victims.

Turns its victims inside out.

"Extremely dangerous.

Extremely dangerous.

"k*ll on sight. k*ll on sight.

k*ll on sight.

"Night Fury.

"Size: unknown. Speed: unknown.

"The unholy offspring

of lightning and death itself.

Never engage this dragon."

I can almost smell them.

Take us in to Helheim's Gate.

Here we go again.

Hard to port!

Hard to port!

Set the oars! Furl the sails!

All together.

Come on.

Higher.

We're not alone!

-Look up!

-Watch your heads!

Turn back!

They're everywhere!

Hey, I just, uh...

I just happened to notice

that the book had nothing

on Night Furies.

Is there maybe, like,

like, another book?

Maybe, like,

a Night Fury pamph...

Focus, Hiccup.

You're not even trying.

Today is about attack.

Nadders are quick

and light on their feet.

Your job is to be quicker

and lighter.

Sorry.

I'm really beginning to

question your teaching methods!

Look for its blind spot.

Every dragon has one.

Find it, hide in it,

then strike.

Do you ever bathe?

If you don't like it, go find

your own blind spot. Go!

Blind spot, yes.

Deaf spot, not so much.

I am hurt. I am very much hurt.

So, how does one sneak up

on a Night Fury?

No one has ever met one

and lived to tell the tale.

-Now, get in there!

-Yeah, I-I know.

I-I'm just saying, like,

-how would...

-Hiccup.

Down.

Whoa, save yourself!

I'll take care of this.

Oh.

Not my fault, Astrid.

I got distracted

by the light in your eyes.

Wait! Just let me...

Yes. Well done, Astrid.

Nothing like giving them

a taste of

their own medicine, eh?

Also, "Well done, Snotlout,

with the assist," right?

What a team!

Is anyone taking this

seriously?!

Take it seriously.

'Cause in case you forgot,

our parents' w*r

is about to become ours!

Figure out which side you're on.

Hmm? Huh?

Huh. Toothless.

I could've sworn you had...

...teeth.

I don't have any more.

Thanks?

Oh, come on.

You're kidding, right?

Mmm.

Hmm?

And then

he turned and grabbed me arm,

and with one twist,

he took my hand clean off

and he swallowed it whole.

Yeah, he must have spread

the word around,

'cause within a month,

another one had taken my leg.

Probably a Skrill.

Serrated teeth, jaw strength 17.

I'll avenge

your fallen limbs, big guy.

I'll chop off the hands and feet

-of every dragon that I see.

-Nah.

It's the wings

and the tail you want.

If they can't fly,

they can't get away.

A downed dragon

is a dead dragon.

Anyone can get by

without the other bits.

I'm gonna lose all of my limbs.

I volunteer Ruffnut

to lose at least one limb.

Huh?

What?

We're twins.

Your pain is my pain.

You're twins?

Even our own mother

can't tell us apart.

It's uncanny.

There we go.

Astrid's got the right idea.

Get your sleep while you can.

Soon, Stoick will be back.

And one of you will be chosen

to k*ll the dragon.

Question is: Who?

Toothless!

Brought breakfast.

Huh? What do you think, bud?

Okay.

We got some cod...

...some salmon

and a whole smoked eel.

Whoa, uh, uh, uh...

No eel! Scratch the eel!

Yeah, I, uh,

can't say I love it, either.

That's it.

Stick to the good stuff.

I'll just be back here,

minding my own business.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Whew. Okay. Not bad.

It could work.

If it's... Whoa! Okay!

Toothless, no! Oh, gods!

Toothless!

Oh, gods!

It's working!

Yeah! Whoo!

Yeah! Whoo!

Today is all about teamwork.

If you work together,

you might just survive.

You see, a wet dragon head

cannot light its fire.

But a Hideous Zippleback

is extra tricky,

'cause one head breathes gas

and the other head lights it.

Your job is to know

which is which.

Good luck.

Razor-sharp fangs that inject

venom for predigestion.

-Prefers to keep its victims...

-Shh!

...conscious.

You know, I'm kind of glad

we got partnered.

Us girls got to stick together.

-Until I have to take you out.

-Shush.

I think I've

pretty much won Astrid over.

I mean, she can barely even

look at me.

You came

to the right man for advice.

-I didn't ask...

-If there's one thing

the Viking girl brain

can't resist, it's...

Look out!

-Hey!

-It's us, geniuses.

Lightning reflexes.

I see hideous heads, I strike.

Ow.

Whoa.

Uh, make that

one hideous head, Astrid.

Save yourselves!

Also known

to toy with its victims,

dismembering them

limb from limb.

Will you please stop that?

Fishlegs!

Wrong head.

Get out of there, Hiccup!

Oh, come on.

Yeah. Back!

Run... Hiccup.

Don't make me

tell you again! Yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

Back in your pen.

Now, think about

what you've done.

So, are we done today?

J-Just because I have

some things I need to, uh...

Yeah, I'm gonna... I'm gonna

see you guys tomorrow.

Huh?

Hey.

Oh, come on.

Just try it.

Whoa!

Oh, I'm gonna die!

Whoa, whoa, no!

No, please!

Just kind of angle yourself.

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, no!

Oh, come on!

-Out of my way.

-Move!

Move, move, move,

move, move, move!

Watch yourselves.

Get in its blind spot.

I got it! It's mine!

No, don't bring it over here!

Uh, little guy.

What is his name again?

-I don't remember.

-Hey. Slow down.

-Are you trying to show us up?

-N-No.

I've never seen someone

take down a Gronckle like that.

I mean, I do it all the time,

but how did you learn?

Learn what?

What exactly was that?

Okay, see,

I-I'd love to explain.

It's just, I left my axe

back in-in the ring.

Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy?

Whoa, okay.

Yeah, yeah? You itchy?

Is that the spot?

Hiccup.

Yo, there he is.

Hey, Hiccup.

-Okay.

-Hiccup. W-W-Wait.

-I have a proper question.

-So I'm thinking that...

All it needs to be

is you and me in the ring.

A Terrible Terror!

It's like the size of my...

Get it off!

Get it off! Get it off!

Ow.

And the other ships?

Dad!

I got it.

I missed you.

In, like, a super manly way.

I got so much to tell you

about the Trial of Flame.

It's basically between... Dad?

Dad?

Da...

Okay, I'll see you at home.

So, no nest, then?

Not even close.

I hope you had more success.

Well, if by success,

you mean your parenting

troubles are over,

then, uh, yeah.

Did you hear the news, Chief?

-Everyone is so relieved.

-Good riddance to old Hiccup.

Aye.

No one will miss that nuisance.

Hiccup is...

gone?

Yeah.

Yeah, most afternoons,

but who can blame him?

The life of a celebrity

can be very rough.

He can barely walk

through the village

without being swarmed

by his army of new fans.

Who would've thought

he has this...

way with the beasts?

All right, bud.

We're gonna take this

nice and slow.

Here we go.

Position three.

Uh, no, four.

You ready?

Come on. Come on.

Yeah, look at us!

Whoa!

My fault. My fault.

Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

Position five.

Come on, bud.

Yeah. Go, baby!

Oh, this is amazing!

The wind in my...

Cheat sheet! Stop!

Oh, gods!

Yeah!

Son!

Dad! Uh, you're back.

Uh, uh, oh...

Okay, uh, Gobber's not here,

-so, um...

-I know.

Came looking for you.

You-you-you did? Uh, wh-why?

You've been keeping secrets.

I have?

Just how long did you think

you could hide it from me?

I-I don't even know

what you're talking...

Nothing happens on this island

without me hearing about it.

So, let's talk

about that dragon.

Oh, gods, Dad.

I'm-I'm-I'm so sorry.

I-I was gonna tell you sooner.

I just didn't know...

You're not upset?

What? What?

I was hoping for this.

-You were?

-Oh, yes.

And believe me,

it only gets better.

Just wait till you spill

a Nadder's guts

for the first time.

Or-or mount your first

Gronckle head on a spear.

What a feeling.

You really had me

going there, son.

All those years

of the worst Viking

Berk has ever seen.

Odin, it was rough.

I almost gave up on you.

And all the while,

you were holding out on me.

Thor almighty.

Who would have thought

that dragon training

would have been

your place to shine, huh?

Ah, you might even win

Top Slayer.

Just like your old man.

Who knows?

You know...

with you doing so well

in the ring...

I'm gonna... I'm gonna...

-Sit.

-Okay.

We finally have something

to talk about.

So, I...

Oh! Oh, I, uh...

I brought you something...

to... to, uh...

keep you safe in the ring.

Your mother would have

wanted you to have it.

W-Wow. Uh, thanks.

It's half of her breastplate.

Matching set.

Keeps her...

It keeps her close, you know?

Wear it proudly, son.

You've held up

your end of the deal.

Yeah.

-Yeah. Tired.

-Yeah, I'm gonna...

-I'm gonna get some s-sleep.

-Uh, good talk.

-Big day tomorrow.

-Yeah.

The Trial of Flame,

and it takes a lot out of you.

Yeah, Trial of Flames--

Flame.

-Good luck with that.

-Yeah, thank you, thank you

-for the, uh... the breast hat.

-I hope you like the...

-Hat. Yeah.

-Yeah.

Okay, well...

good night.

No more of your tricks.

-I'm taking Top Slayer today.

-Yeah, yeah, okay.

It's-it's all yours.

Top-Top Slay away.

Sorry.

Last chance. Make it count.

Come on!

-Go on, Astrid! You got it!

-Come on, Hiccup!

-Go on!

-Come on!

No!

Son of a half-troll,

rat-eating...

Glad to see

she's handling it gracefully.

You!

Uh, okay.

-Later.

-Hey, hey. Not so fast.

-Quiet down.

-No, I can't.

-I'm gonna be late for, uh...

-What?

Late for what, exactly?

Another year...

-Shut up.

...and another Trial of Flame

has come to an end.

Elder Gothi has made

her decision.

The new Top Slayer will be...

You've done it, Hiccup.

You won the Trial of Flame.

You get to k*ll the dragon.

That's my boy!

Hiccup, you won!

Whoa! Yeah.

Hooray me.

I can't wait to...

Beat it and never come back.

All right, bud. Time's up.

My thoughts exactly.

Wh-What are you, uh...

What are you doing here?

-Looking for answers.

-Huh?

What are you doing here?

Who's Bud? Your trainer?

Did he dress you up in this?

Uh, I-I know

this looks suspicious,

but f-funnily enough, I, uh...

Uh, you're right!

You're right. I, uh...

I'm through with the lies.

I've been making outfits,

so, um, you got me.

It's time everybody knew.

Just take me back.

Ow!

Why would you do that?

That's for the lies.

And that's for everything else.

Oh, no.

Run. Run!

No! No.

-What...

-Toothless, no!

Stop. It's okay.

She's a friend. She's a friend.

Toothless, Astrid.

Astrid, Toothless.

The, uh... the Night Fury.

I wouldn't.

We're dead.

Hey. Where do you think

you're going?

Hiccup! Get me down from here!

You have to give me

a chance to explain.

I'm not listening to anything

you have to say.

Then I won't speak.

Just let us show you.

Please, Astrid.

What is this?

Uh, it's my design.

Yeah.

Pretty much the cocaptain.

Then let's get this over with.

You got it.

Toothless, let's take her down.

Gently.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Oh, nice touch!

I thought you were

his cocaptain!

I am! It's a temporary

dragon malfunction!

We worked out a whole system,

remember?

If we survive,

I'm gonna k*ll you!

And now the spinning.

Thank you for nothing,

you useless reptile.

Please just make it stop.

I'm clearly not

the one in control.

Then I'm sorry!

Toothless, I'm sorry!

Fine.

You made your point.

It doesn't change the fact

you have to k*ll one tomorrow.

But if we can change

your mind...

What?

You gonna take everyone up

for a magical ride?

It won't erase what they've

done to us, Hiccup.

They hunt us, steal our food.

And one of them took my mom.

But do we just keep

k*lling one another?

As opposed to...?

I-I don't know.

But you botched our escape plan,

so I'm gonna need a minute.

Well, I might not snitch on you.

And we might not

drop you in the sea.

Bud? What's up?

What is it?

Hey. Hey.

Get down!

Toothless, get us out of here.

It looks like they're

hauling in their k*ll.

Then what does that make us?

The dragons' nest.

Oh, what my dad wouldn't give

to find this.

What is that?

All right, bud, time to go.

I can't believe it took

this long to figure it out.

It all makes sense now.

It's like a giant beehive.

They're the workers,

and that's their queen.

Their alpha.

It controls them.

We got to find your dad.

No, no, no, not yet.

They'll...

they'll k*ll Toothless.

Astrid, we have to think

this through carefully.

Hiccup, we just discovered

the dragons' nest,

and you want

to keep it a secret?

To protect your pet dragon?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Okay.

Then... what do we do?

Just give me until tomorrow.

I'll figure it out.

That's for kidnapping me.

Hey, are you gonna...

And that's for everything else.

What?

Well, I can finally show

my face in public again.

All right.

If someone had told me

that in a few short weeks,

Hiccup would've gone

from being, well, Hiccup...

...to placing first

in the Trial of Flame,

I mean, I would've tied them

to a mast

and shipped them off

for fear they'd gone mad.

And you know it.

But here we are.

My son has won the title

of Top Slayer.

No one is more surprised...

...or more proud than I am.

Today, my boy becomes a warrior.

Today, he becomes one of us!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup!

Watch out for that dragon.

It's not the dragon

I'm worried about.

Look, I'm gonna try

to put an end to all this,

but if something goes wrong

in there, just...

don't get involved.

My dad respects you too much.

Yeah.

But...

you have something I don't.

Something none of us have.

So... I'm going to stand by you,

come what may.

Come what may.

It's time, Hiccup.

Knock him dead, son.

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

Go, Hiccup!

Show 'em everything

I taught you!

Should've been me.

Whew. All right?

Good crowd, isn't it?

Hiccup! Hiccup!

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

I would have gone

with the hammer.

Just-just give him a chance.

I'm ready.

What is he doing?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm not one of them.

-Stop the fight.

-No.

You all need to see this.

They're not

what we think they are.

We don't have to k*ll them.

I said stop the fight!

Out of my way!

Get out of there, Hiccup!

Hiccup!

Quick, quick! Grab his hand!

-Climb up.

-Hiccup, grab my hand!

-Get up here!

-Hurry up!

Get over here, man!

Just grab his hand!

Astrid, get back here!

That's an order!

Run!

Come on.

Hiccup!

Night Fury.

-Night Fury!

-He's real!

All right, bud. Go on. Go.

Go, go! Get to the side of him!

Get out of the way, Hiccup!

No, stop.

You're only making it worse!

Astrid!

I got it. Go!

Stoick, he won't hurt you.

No!

Toothless!

Don't.

Take it down!

Grab its legs!

-Hold it down!

-No!

-No, don't hurt him!

-Stay back!

And you...

Put it with the others.

-I should have known!

-Dad.

-I should have seen the signs.

-Dad!

We had a deal!

I-I know, but that was before...

It's all so messed up.

So everything in the ring,

what, a-a trick? A lie?

No, I-I should have told you

before now.

Take that out on me--

it's my fault--

but please don't hurt Toothless.

The dragon?

That's what you're

worried about?

Not the people

you almost k*lled?

He's not dangerous.

He-he was protecting me.

They took your mother,

for gods' sake!

If she could see you now

standing there with them

when they've k*lled

hundreds of us.

And we've k*lled

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.

A dragon like I've never seen.

Their island?

You've been to the nest.

Did I say nest?

How did you find it?

I didn't. Toothless did.

Only a dragon

can find the island.

No. Dad, no.

You don't know

what you're up against.

This is nothing like

you've ever seen.

You can't win this one.

For once in your life,

would you please

just listen to me?

You've thrown your lot

in with them.

You're not one of us.

You're not my son.

Ready the ships!

We sail at dawn!

Forward on the leading line!

Swing it out slightly.

Here she comes. Easy.

Careful with the head.

Oh, careful now.

Weapons loaded!

Spare rigging aboard?

-Aye.

-Hoist the sails!

Aye, Chief.

-Ready the oars.

-Aye, Stoick.

We set sail for Helheim's Gate!

Lead us home, devil.

I tried to stop them.

I ended up giving them

exactly what they wanted.

I should've just...

I should've k*lled him when

I found him in those woods.

It would have been better

for everyone.

Yeah.

The rest of us

would have done it.

So, why didn't you?

-Why didn't you?

-I don't know.

-I-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...

Because I was weak.

Because I was a coward,

because I wouldn't

-k*ll a dragon.

-You said "wouldn't" that time.

Whatever! I wouldn't!

I'm the first Viking

in who knows how long

who wouldn't k*ll a dragon.

First to ride one, though.

So?

I wouldn't k*ll him because...

...he looked

just as frightened as I was.

When I looked at him...

I saw myself.

Bet he's really frightened now.

What are you gonna do about it?

Eh.

Probably something stupid.

Hmm.

Well, you've already done that.

Then something crazy.

That's more like it.

Sound your positions.

Stay within earshot.

One length to your stern.

On your starboard flank.

Why aren't they attacking?

Maybe they know

something we don't.

Are you just a glutton

for punishment or what?

We have a fighting chance

this time.

Thanks to Hiccup.

How long

do you think we're gonna...

Shh.

Step aside, Drl.

-Ship the oars!

-Oars in.

Okay, wait.

You just disgraced yourself

in front of the whole village.

-Why would we listen to you?

-'Cause I said so.

Exactly. Pay attention, g*ng.

Look, my dad means well,

but he's stubborn.

And he's about to be

way in over his head,

so it's up to us.

Us?

I can't pull this off

without you guys.

And you all have

something special to offer.

Say no more.

You were wise to seek

the world's most deadly weapon.

It's me.

You've got a wild side,

and I like it.

Astrid, you're

our strongest fighter.

We need you to lead us.

Lead us where exactly?

They left

with every ship we have.

Stick with me.

Oh.

That's where that went.

Stay low. Be ready.

We're here.

No, uh-uh.

Hiccup, I...

Relax.

It's okay.

Uh, where are you going?

You're gonna need

something to help you hold on.

Get ready.

It's gonna be a long night.

Form a defensive line.

Sharpen those axes, lads!

Chief.

Ready, Chief.

-Stand strong.

-Aye, Stoick.

-Make your people proud.

-We will, Stoick.

Today, we destroy

the reign of the dragon

once and for all.

However this ends,

it ends right here, right now!

So let's send these devils

back to hell!

Is that it?

The nest is ours!

This isn't over.

Get clear!

Fall back!

Fall back! Everyone, fall back!

Retreat!

Move!

Get to the ships!

No!

Get to the far side

of the island.

Aye, Chief. Let's move!

This way! All of you!

-Get out of here, lads!

-Follow me!

Gobber, go with the others.

Why? Where are you going?

Actually,

I'm gonna stick around.

You've got that wild look

in your eye.

I can buy them

some time if I give that thing

something to hunt.

And I can double that time.

I know. I'm a big softy.

Softest part of you

is your teeth.

Remember,

that thing is their queen.

They're inclined to do

whatever it says.

We've got to help them

fight back.

Fishlegs, what do we got?

Ooh, uh, heavily armored

skull and tail,

perfect for bashing

and crushing.

Small eyes, large nostrils.

Relies on hearing and smell.

-Got it. Astrid.

-Okay.

Snotlout, Fishlegs,

hang in its blind spot.

Make some noise.

Keep it confused.

Ruff, Tuff,

figure out its shot limit.

Make it mad.

That's our specialty!

Try not to get k*lled, guys!

Uh, this thing doesn't have

a blind spot.

There!

Hey, bud.

I'm good.

Be careful.

I know, I know,

but I'm, uh... I'm here now.

Keep hammering!

But we're confusing

our own dragons!

Oh, no!

This way!

This way! Come on! Come on!

Guys, keep moving!

Keep moving! Come on!

Go!

Is that my kid?

-Snotlout!

-Come on! Throw it!

Whoa, girl.

Going down.

I'm okay.

Less okay.

I got you, Fishlegs.

What's wrong?

Got something in your eye?

Yeah! Now, that's a Top Slayer.

You got it, bud.

Hiccup.

I was only trying

to protect you.

I know, Dad.

Let me return the favor.

Whatever happens up there,

I'm proud to call you my son.

And that's all I need.

Let's go.

He's up!

You two, get Snotlout.

I'll distract the queen.

That's right. Eyes on me.

Snotlout!

Now!

Oh, you have got

to be kidding me.

Whoa!

I can't believe that worked.

Yeah.

No, no, no, girl.

Fight it! Don't listen to her!

Shake it off!

Astrid.

Did you get her?

Go.

That thing has wings.

Let's see if it can use them.

You think that did it?

Yep.

All right, bud.

It's time to disappear.

Here it comes!

Quite the chief you have

in the making there.

Aye.

Watch out!

Okay, time's up.

Let's see if this works.

Is that all you've got?

Stay with me, bud!

Just a little bit longer!

Hold, Toothless!

Now!

Yeah, bud, we... No!

Hiccup!

Hiccup?

Son?

Hiccup!

Oh, son.

I'm so sorry.

Hiccup.

He's alive. He's alive!

Yeah!

Yes!

Thank you...

...for saving my son.

Well, you know...

most of him.

Hey, Toothless.

Okay.

I'm in my house.

You-You're in my house.

D-Does my dad know you're here?

Oh, come on.

Thanks, bud.

Okay, here we go.

Toothless, stay.

Hey, hey, hey!

Shouldn't you be in bed?

Okay. Hold on tight, guys.

Here we go.

Whoa, whoa!

Hey! Hey!

There you go!

-There he is! Oh, oh.

-Oh! Okay.

So, what do you think?

A few changes

since you've been out.

Flying back here was, uh, quite

an experience, let me tell you.

Wait, wait, you...

you rode a dragon?

Well... well,

that monster burned

all of our ships,

so we didn't really

-have much of a...

-Hiccup!

Oh, no.

What'd I do this time?

Ow!

That's for scaring me.

Okay, is it always gonna

be like this? 'Cause...

And that's for everything else.

You know, 'cause... 'cause I...

I-I could get used to that.

Yep.

Turns out all we needed

was a little more of this.

You just gestured to all of me.

Well, you know, most of you.

New leg is my handiwork

with just a dash

of your kooky flair

thrown in for good measure.

Here we go.

Welcome home.

-You rebuilt it?

-Yeah.

I found your designs.

Not too bad.

Night Fury!

-Here he is.

-What is it?

What is it, huh?

Want to take it for a spin?

This is Berk.

You'd have to be crazy

to move here.

Even crazier to stay.

It's not for the faint of heart.

Whoo!

Any food that grows here

is tough and tasteless.

Come on!

The people that grow here...

-Whoa!

-...are even more so.

The only upsides are the pets.

While other places may have

ponies or puppies...

-Come on, bud.

-...we have...

...dragons.
