A bright flash of light surrounded Stoick, Gobber, Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout, the twins, and Fishlegs. The light faded and as it faded, they characters were completely surrounded by dragons. Everyone except Astrid and Hiccup prepared to fight.
"Enough!" A powerful, yet rather feminine voice rang through the room.
Hiccup got a closer look at the dragons, they were all based of the Night Fury in design, but they came in different colors. One was blue, and had weird stripes lining its body. Another was heavily built and was a beautiful amber color. Yet another, was a shocking red, its wings seemed too large for its body. There were nine in total and only two looked to be close to what Toothless looked like. Both had acid green eyes, only one seemed to have a mate. A blue eyed Night Fury, who was rather gorgeous.
"WHY ARE WE HERE SURROUNDED BY DRAGONS, AND HICCUP, ASTRID, WHY AREN'T YOU PREPARING TO FIGHT?" Stoick was screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Oww, can you scream any louder? Geez, the only reason they won't fight is because they know the truth about dragons."
"WHAT TRUTH THERE IS NO TRUTH! THEY ARE JUST KILLING MACHINES!" Again, the screaming.
"Stop screaming and maybe I can show you. Just sit down and I will show you what happens in the future first, then your past and relative future."
Hiccup spoke up now, "When, how far is it in this future?"
"'Bout five years."
"FIVE YEARS, HA I BET HICCUP IS ALL THE MORE UGLY. AM I RIGHT?" I think you know who that was.
"The next person to scream like that will get my dragon sicced on them, got it?"
Everyone nodded.
"Good, now onto the beggining. Everyone have a seat and would you guys please back off, you're truly freaking them out."
They turned to the big black wall in the very white room and the movie began. "By the way, this is only meant as support for Hiccup who understands where I'm going with this." Finally the voice stepped out of the shadows and Hiccup's breath hitched in his throat. The girl was fifteen, her black hair was down to her waist, and she had striking blue eyes, seeming to match the mate to a copy of Toothless.
"Toothless." Two heads shot up. "Younger, you can go over now." Said Toothless wandered over. "By the way, my name is Sage, my dragon is the Magyk Fury with blue eyes. Her name is Eclipse, and the others belong to my friends who are out right now."
The black screen changed color and the story, sort of, began.
EXT. OPEN SEA - DAY
HIccup and Toothless BLUR PAST, leaving a wake that leads...
"Who was that?" Gobber asks.
"Someone who is missing later." Sage simply responded.
EXT. BERK - DAY (Sequence 0200 - New Berk)
To the island village of Berk, festively adorned with flags
and banners. Major new additions alter its familiar skyline.
"I bet this is when after we have won the war." For once Snotlout was actually being smart. "Ended by me that is." Not so much anymore.
Sage got up from her comfortable position leaning against Eclipse and petting older Toothless and stalked over to Snotlout.
He, wrongly, suspected he was right and ignoring the look in her eyes thought she was coming over for a piece of him. After all, she was prettier that Astrid.
"So you finally decide who is really the best." All he got was a warning, before blond hair wrapped around his ankle and pulled him into the darkness. There was a clang.
"Had no idea his head was made of metal." Sage just laughed as a girl with very short, rather ugly, brown hair stepped out of the shadows.
"Punzie, I wanted to do that." Sage whined.
Punzie just laughed. "So did I. You can do it later, right now I have to go. Bye."
"See you." Then Puzie vanished and the movie continued.
HICCUP (V.O.) ON A CLUSTER OF SHEEP, hiding nervously between buildings as
This... is Berk. The best kept
secret this side of, well,
anywhere. Granted, it may not look
like much, but this wet heap of
rock packs more than a few
surprises.
shadows of passing dragons race by. The group moves as one,
receding into a shadowy alley, pushing one sheep out into the
light. It's suddenly snatched and carried into the air!
"You said the war has ended!"
"It did. Watch and learn."
HICCUP (V.O.) WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH! A wash of VIBRANT COLORS blurs by. HICCUP (V.O.) DRAGON RACING!
Life here is amazing, just not for
the faint of heart. See, where most
folks enjoy hobbies like whittling
or needlepoint, we Berkians prefer
a little something we like to call-
DRAGONS BARREL PAST at a dizzying speed. Their RIDERS SWIPE,
KICK, and ROLL into one another while they WEAVE neck in neck
between the houses, docks, and revamped structures of Berk.
It's like an aerial version of the Monte Carlo race.
Spectators ROAR from wooden bleachers, fastened to cliff
faces and perched over the sea.
FISHLEGS, now 20 and even larger, rides his gronkle, MEATLUG,
who carries the sheep in her claws, until...
"Why are you riding that beast Fishlegs?" Stoick asked.
SNOTLOUT, also 20, but every bit as juvenile, and his
Monstrous Nightmare, HOOKFANG, steal the sheep from them.
"You too Snotlout?" Gobber asked.
"We don't know. Maybe it's because everyone else is doing it." Fishlegs said.
SNOTLOUT FISHLEGS
Oh, I'm sorry, Fishlegs! Did you
want that?
Snotlout! That's mine!
Snotlout FALLS BACK toward RUFFNUT and TUFFNUT, who lag on
their two-headed Zippleback, BARF & BELCH.
SNOTLOUT
Here ya go, babe.
With a chivalrous grin, Snotlout tosses the sheep to Ruffnut. SNOTLOUT (CONT'D) RUFFNUT
She SNATCHES it with a sneer and a GRUMBLE.
Did I tell you that you look amazing today? `Cause you do.
Come on, Barf. It's starting to stink around here.
Barf starts to peel off, spewing gas. Tuffnut mocks Snotlout TUFFNUT
with a mugging grin.
Nope. Still hates you. Let's blow this place, Belch!
Belch ignites the gas, sparking a flashy explosion, and STOICK
leaving Snotlout behind in the smoke.
As they rush past the main bleachers, Ruffnut DROPS her sheep
into one of five baskets suspended over a chasm at the lap
crossing. Each backboard bears an image of its corresponding
dragon. The Barf/Belch basket filled to the brim with sheep.
Presiding over the game, STOICK turns to the frenzied crowd.
That's nine for the Twins, Astrid
lags with three, Fishlegs and
Snotlout trail with NONE!
Stoick eyes an empty basket at the far end, its backboard
painted with an image of Toothless.
"What type of dragon is that?" Stoick asked. STOICK (CONT'D)
And Hiccup is... nowhere to be found. Hmmm.
"Probably ran off scared when he heard that I was in a competition." Snotlout said, he had since sat down.
"Really, you really want to say that?" Sage got out a frying pan.
Snotlout gulped. "No."
"Good." The movie continued.
GOBBER
Scared him off with the big talk,
didn't ya, Stoick?
WHACK! Snotlout, still smoldering from the blast, gets
CLIPPED from behind. ASTRID, rolls in, astride STORMFLY -
spirited and competitive as ever, and beautiful despite
herself.
Hiccup gasped, if that was Astrid at twenty, then he really wanted her. He looked over at her and smiled. She looked back and recalled their flight the night before, and smiled back and moved over to sit next to him and since he was leaning against Toothless. The others began questioning the scene.
"Astrid get away from that beast." Stoick asked.
"Yeah, Astrid. Why do you want Hiccup instead of this handsome strength."
Astrid got up and smiled sweetly at Snotlout. Hiccup thought that Snotlout had taken what he wanted from Hiccup as always. That is until Astrid stepped on Snotlout's leg, the arm, then face, then groin. Hiccup looked up to Snotlout being threatened with her axe with losing his thing that would make his children if he called for he again. She sat back down and figured that because Hiccup had been freaked out he deserved a kiss, so a kiss is exactly what he got. A very long, slow kiss on the lips. It ended and the pair pulled away from each other and the movie restarted.
ASTRID SNOTLOUT ASTRID SNOTLOUT HICCUP (V.O.) HICCUP (V.O.) In the village, a baby Gronkle sneezes, accidentally setting HICCUP (V.O.) BACK TO STOICK, amused as he watches the racers round the STOICK GOBBER ASTRID RUFFNUT TUFFNUT FISHLEGS GOBBER He pulls the trigger, LAUNCHING the black sheep into the air. ASTRID ASTRID (CONT'D)
What are you doing, Snotlout?!
They're going to win now!
She's my princess! Whatever she
wants, she gets.
Ruffnut?! Didn't she try to bury
you alive?!
Only for a few hours!
BACK TO THE RACERS, as they peel away, pouring on the speed.
Dragons used to be a bit of a
problem here. But that was five
years ago. Now they've all moved
in. And, really, why wouldn't they?
The racers chase each other through a sprawling hangar and
into a vast cave, teeming with colorfully painted dragon
stables. They exit through the far side and circle back
through the village, blasting past many of its dragon-
friendly additions.
We have custom stables... all-you-
can-eat feeding stations... a full
service dragon wash...
one of the Viking houses aflame.
Even top-of-the-line fire

Astrid rolls her eyes, peels away from the other dragon
racers, and yanks open a spout on the overhead network of
aqueducts, dousing the flames with a surge of water.
island, searching for sheep. He turns to Gobber and nods.
It's time, Gobber.
Righty-ho!
(aloud, to the crowd)
Last lap!
A HORN sounds. The racers all turn to each other, excited.
The black sheep! Come on, Stormfly!
We can still win this thing!
Come on, Barf!
Let's go!
Go, Meatlug!
GOBBER loads the BLACK SHEEP onto a catapult.
This is your big moment. Have a
nice flight!
Astrid spots it and steers Stormfly into a steep climb toward
it.
Up, up, up!
In a flash, Fishlegs and Meatlug blur past, NABBING the
sheep.
No!
"No! How did Fishlegs win?!"
"Watch, Astrid, just watch."
FISHLEGS FISHLEGS (CONT'D)
Good job, Meatlug!
Fishlegs tosses his captured prize to Ruffnut.
Here you go, darling. Mine's worth ten!
RUFFNUT ASTRID RUFFNUT Fishlegs hovers up next to Ruffnut with a starry-eyed smile. FISHLEGS RUFFNUT TUFFNUT He GRABS at the sheep. Ruffnut fights back, inciting a tug-of- TUFFNUT (CONT'D) STOICK TUFFNUT RUFFNUT
Yeah! The Black Sheep!
Snotlout sighs, frustrated.
You guys are fighting for Ruffnut?!
I'm totally winning!
We're winning together!
She RAMS BARF into Meatlug, sending Fishlegs into an
uncontrolled SPIN. He SLAMS into Snotlout, sending their
dragons TUMBLING head over tail. The crowd goes wild.
No one can stop me now!
Except for me. We're attached, genius!

Quit trying to steal all my glory!
And while they're distracted, Astrid steers Stormfly toward
them, CLOSING IN.
Get `em, Astrid!
It's MY glory! No sheep, no You're always ruining
glory! EVERYTHING!
Astrid leaps off of Stormfly, runs up Belch's spindly neck,
and PLUCKS the black sheep from the Twins' hands.
ASTRID She tumbles through the air onto Stormfly, sticking a perfect RUFFNUT
Gotcha!
landing, black sheep in hand.
Astrid!
"Told ya."
BACK TO STOICK, beside himself. The crowd ROARS. STOICK
Well played! Hahaha!
(gloating, to the crowd)
That's my future daughter-in-law!
Hiccup looked at his father carefully. Astrid just blushed but looked very happy at this turn of events.
BACK TO ASTRID ON STORMFLY SNOTLOUT ASTRID
eyeing the fast-approaching FINISH LINE, unaware as...
FISHLEGS suddenly RAMS Meatlug into Stormfly, sending Astrid
off-course. She recovers and sees Snotlout flying headlong
toward her, war hammer cocked, aiming at Astrid.
Uh, excuse me.
Stormfly!
Snotlout HURLS his hammer. Astrid ducks and rolls Stormfly
out of the way. The hammer catches Fishlegs in the face with
a CLANG. The crowd collectively winces.
Everyone in the room winced with the crowd at the clang.
Astrid and Stormfly recover from their roll, loop over the
water, and they BLAST past the finish line, DUNKING the black
sheep into their basket!
STOICK HICCUP (V.O.)
That's thirteen! Astrid takes the
game!
The crowd COMES UNHINGED. Astrid flies over the crowd,
basking in her victory.
Yep. Berk is pretty much perfect. All of my hard work has paid off. And it's a good thing, too, because with Vikings on the backs of dragons, the world just got a whole lot bigger.
"Now, with on that note. This is the beginning of the movie you exist in now." Sage pressed play and the next movie began.
