| - Hiccup (v.o.)There's an old Viking saying: "When your friends are roasting on the spit, you're the one who's feels the fire." Mildew has made the entire village believe that dragons are too wild, that we all can't live together in peace. He's wrong, and I'm going to prove it.SnotloutArrrrrrgggh! We've been here for hours and we haven't found anything!HiccupWe've been here for ten minutes! And you've done nothing than build that!SnotloutThat is Snotlout Manor. And all I need now is a queen.AstridUgh.TuffnutAaaarrrrrrrgggh!SnotloutWhat-What are you doing?!TuffnutStorming the castle.HiccupCome on, guys! I'm telling you, Mildew framed our dragons! I saw dragon feet in Mildew's house and I watched him throw them into the ocean.FishlegsI don't mean to be Norbert the Negative, but the ocean is really, really vast. And our chances at finding those dragon feet are as good as Snotlout and Astrid--AstridDon't go there.FishlegsGoing nowhere.AstridLook, Fishlegs is right. Even if Mildew did throw them in the ocean, they're not just gonna wash up on shore here.SnotloutI found it!HiccupGREAT! Ehm... You were saying?SnotloutI haven't seen this since I was a baby. You never forget your first bludgeon.HiccupJust keep looking.GobberOne down, 345 to go.StoickCan't you do that any faster? Until you restock our weapons, we're completely defenseless.GobberMaybe you should have thought about that before sending the dragons away.StoickYou know I had no choice. They destroyed the armory.GobberThis would be a bad time to get attacked.StoickI know, Gobber.GobberNot that there's ever a good time, but this would be particularly bad.StoickI know, Gobber.GobberEspecially by Alvin. The Treacherous. Our oldest and most-feared enemy. Who'd kill us all to take Berk for his own.StoickI got it, Gobber! Alvin the Treacherous...Outcast #1Alvin, they're coming back!AlvinOut of me way! You can't find good marauders anywhere these days.SavageAlvin, there are too many of them! We need to get inside!AlvinOh, I've had it with these dragons! Is the ship ready?SavageWe still have a little more work to do.AlvinThat's not my problem, is it? We sail for Berk immediately. We'll land here and under the cover of night.SavageWhy aren't we taking the whole army?AlvinWe're not there to fight Stoick. We're there for one man: The Dragon Conqueror.SavageOh, and you'll have him. We hear he's ten feet tall with the strength of a dozen men.AlvinWell, he shouldn't be too hard to find then, should he?HiccupI'm telling you! I saw a pair of Zippleback feet in Mildew's house. He must have used them to make the footprints of the dragon who supposedly stole the boots.StoickWell, then let's go have a look at them.HiccupYeah. Uh, there's gonna be a problem with that. I also saw him throw them into the ocean...StoickI know you're upset about the dragons, son, but you're gonna need evidence to accuse a man of high treason.HiccupAstrid, we'll prove Mildew did it. We have to if we ever want to see our dragons again.AstridI just hope they're okay. Why would one of our ships be anchoring there?HiccupIt's not one of our ships. I gotta tell Dad. Come on!AlvinAh, it's good to be back on the shores of Berk.SavageGood for you. Not so good for them.AlvinLet's find this Dragon Conqueror!StoickThis is no time to panic! That's what the Outcasts are counting on!SvenStoick!StoickSven, did you get a count?SvenI saw thirty men at least, all armed to the teeth.GobberWithout my weapons, we'll never be able to fight them head on.MildewNo weapons! And Outcasts on our shores! All thanks to your boy and his dragons!StoickI don't have time for this right now, Mildew. Mulch! You and Bucket gather the elders and the children. Get them to Thor's beach. They'll be save in the caves there.AstridWe can help fight! We've been trained as warriors.SnotloutShe may have been trained, but I was born a warrior.StoickTake this. It was Alvin's. But go with the others. You can help protect them.HiccupLet me go get the dragons. At least if we have them, Dad, we can defend ourselves.StoickGo. But be careful. You don't know what Alvin is capable of. The rest of you: We'll head to the woods. Nobody knows that forest like we do.GobberAnd when Alvin comes to looking for us there, he'll walk right into our trap!FishlegsOh, Meatlug, I miss you. The moon is full, my heart is empty. What rhymes with empty?AlvinDon't waste your time. Nothing rhymes with "empty". Who's the Dragon Conqueror?FishlegsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!HiccupAh! Fishlegs!FishlegsAlvin's looking for you. He's looking for the Dragon Conqueror.AlvinLooks like Stoick isn't as armed as we'd anticipated.SavageFrom the looks of the armory, he's not armed at all.AlvinHmm... Should I knock? I mean, what's the etiquette in these situations?AlvinI think that seems about right. Stoick! Show your face!AlvinThe old coward's turned and run.Outcast #2I spotted fresh tracks leading into the forest. And I heard reports of a big guy with a bucket on his head heading down to the beach.AlvinEhh, we'll split up. You four, go into the woods.Outcast #1Where are we going?AlvinWe'll go to the beach! How many hostages do you think a Dragon Conqueror is worth?OutcastsSeven! No! Eight!FishlegsWhat do we do now?HiccupGo to the woods and warn my father. I need to get ahead of Alvin and warn Mulch and the others.GobberWhen they come looking for us in the forest, they'll have to come through here.StoickAlright. What do we have?GobberTwo frying pans, a rolling pin, and a kitchen knife.StoickAnd what are we going to do when we find Alvin? Bake him a cake?!GobberEh, pie would be nice, too. Who doesn't like pie?GobberThat could be useful!MulchHurry now! The cave is just up ahead.MulchWhere's Bucket?Little GirlHe went back to get my Lamby.MulchOh, for the love of... Why am I always looking for Bucket? Hey, yeah, why can't he-- Bucket? It's like trying to keep track of a half-wit pig.MulchUgh, Bucket! You had one job: Bring up the rear.BucketBut the little girl! You should've seen the look on her face, big blue eyes with the tears welling up.MulchUgh, oh... your bucket's hard, but your heart is soft. Come on, come on.MulchUh-oh...AlvinYou made it easy for us, Bucket. It's hard to miss a half-wit and his lamb.Outcast #2Keep moving!Outcast #3There he is! Get him!GobberOh, you lousy Outcasts! You'll never take me alive!Outcast #4Come on, get him!GobberUgh. Looks like you got me, boys.OutcastsCome on, get him!GobberOr maybe it's we who've got you.StoickThat way. Over there.FishlegsStoick! No!StoickFor the love of Thor, Fishlegs, I could have killed you!FishlegsThank you... For not killing me.StoickWhat are you doing here?FishlegsAlvin the Treacherous grabbed me. He looked really treacherous.StoickI know they're here, Fishlegs.FishlegsYeah. They're here for Hiccup.StoickHiccup?AlvinFor those of you who haven't figured it out...I am the one and only Alvin the Treacherous. And let me be clear, that name was earned.Tuffnut"Alvin"? Pft... How did he earn that?AlvinYour leader has abandoned ya. But Stoick doesn't concern me. I'm not here for him. I want the Dragon Conqueror.MildewSay goodbye to Hiccup.MildewAlvin!AstridMy grandfather's frail. He needs his nap.AlvinWell, like I said...tell me who the Dragon Conqueror is and you can all go free.SnotloutConqueror? Come on! I'll show Alvin who's a conqueror.SnotloutFor you, sir.AlvinWell, you'd better check your trousers, son. I think you've soiled yourself.AlvinWill you look at that! My old hatchet. I was wondering when I'd get that back.AlvinTrying to kill Alvin the Treacherous? Ooh hoo! You're not as smart as you look. Tell me, who's your Dragon Conqueror, eh?AlvinTell me!HiccupLeave her alone!AstridHiccup! What are you doing?HiccupI'm the Dragon Conqueror.AlvinYou? Stoick's little embarrassment?HiccupI drove the dragons from Berk. Look around. You don't see any on this island, do you?AstridI-It's true! All the dragons are afraid of him. He even conquered a Night Fury!AlvinYou're bluffing.HiccupAm I? Well, there's only one way to find out. Take me to Dragon Island.StoickWhere's Alvin?!AstridAlvin took Hiccup.StoickWhat?!AstridHe gave himself up. They're on their way to Dragon Island.AlvinI'm sure you're father's told you plenty about your island's most feared enemy.HiccupWh-who's that? Oh, right, uh, you. No. Not so much.AlvinReally? Not a word?HiccupNope.AlvinNothing?HiccupUh-uh.AlvinNothing about Alvin?HiccupNope.HiccupLook, 'Al', all I care about is that if I do what I say, you will leave the people of Berk in peace.AlvinOn me word, son!StoickWhen we get there, we'll lay down cover fire with these catapults. Astrid, you get your dragons.SnotloutNo! Save your cover fire for the others, sir. I can handle myself.GobberI'll fire extra rounds to cover that one.TuffnutSir, we'd like to personally volunteer to kick Alvin's butt.StoickThis isn't about Alvin. It's about Hiccup. We're here to bring him home.HiccupHey, is the sword really necessary?AlvinOdin's Ghost!AlvinIs that a...?HiccupNight Fury! The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself!HiccupAh, stop!Hiccup...It will only make him angrier! Watch and learn.AlvinBy all means, proceed. Heheheheh! I hope you're not squeamish. You're about to see a dragon eat a boy.HiccupI missed you, too...w-we'll catch up later. Right now, follow my lead.HiccupYou cannot defeat me! You dirty dragon! I am the Dragon Conqueror!AlvinHey, what are you doing with that dragon?!HiccupBy the way, it's not really "Dragon Conqueror", it's "Dragon Trainer"! Now!AlvinGreat thunder of Thor! He is the Dragon Conqueror! Fire!HiccupLook out! Whoa! Whoa! Hey!AlvinWhat are you waiting for?! Shoot him down!OutcastsThere he is! Now we've got him!AlvinFire!HiccupOh, what took you so long?AstridWhy, did you miss me?SnotloutHiccup!HiccupWe've gotta get in closer!StoickAim for their catapults! If we knock them out, the dragons can finish off the ship! Fire!AlvinMove offshore!HiccupHere's our chance! Come on!AlvinOh, shoot that dragon down! Fire!HiccupASTRID!AstridHICCUP!AlvinWelcome aboard, Astrid. Don't miss this time!HiccupLook out!HiccupHold your fire! He's got Astrid!HiccupWhat are you doing?!SnotloutI heard you say "fire"!HiccupI said "Hold your fire!"SnotloutSee?! You said it again!StoickNo, he's right!SnotloutThank you!StoickFire again, Hiccup! All of you!HiccupEveryone! Fire into the water!AlvinFire!OutcastAt what?AlvinEverything!OutcastsDid you hear that? Oh, what's that?!HiccupAstrid, hop on!StoickYou're a coward taking my son.AlvinI take what I want! You know that, Stoick!StoickNot this time.StoickNOW, HICCUP! BURN THE SHIP!HiccupHere we go, guys! HIT 'EM WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!StoickHiccup, what were you thinking?HiccupI was thinking... all I needed to do was to get to Toothless. And together, we'd be able to make things right.AlvinThey ride dragons! We get that boy, and we'll ride dragons!HiccupYou hear that, bud? You're back home.MildewWhat are you cheering about? Don't you remember what these beasts have done?!StoickI do. They saved our lives.HiccupAnd I may not be able to prove what you've done, but I will never forget it.Hiccup (v.o.)It's funny how an attack by your greatest enemy can change things overnight. I set out to prove that our dragons would never hurt us... what they proved, is that they will always protect us.
