Hiccup is at the forge, making a saddle for Toothless. The next morning at the cove, Hiccup presenting Toothless with the saddle. Toothless playfully runs away from Hiccup.

Hiccup: Hey!

Hiccup rides Toothless, tugging the prosthetic tail fin with a rope to change its position. The wind blows at them and they tumble backwards. Toothless crashes into a field of Dragon Nip and rolls in it comfortably.

Hiccup: Whoa! [holds up Dragon Nip]

Hela and Troels who were watching the whole thing from the sky land next to Hiccup before Troels joins Toothless in rolling around the Dragon Nip grass. Hela takes a sniff of the grass as well to see how it affects her only for her pupils to dilate as she joins the two Dragons as Hiccup looks at her weirdly.

Hiccup: um sis you ok?

Hela: I'm fine Hiccup you should join us this feels amazing like I'm flying in the clouds. [Troels and Toothless growl in agreement]

Later Hiccup is still holding up the Dragon Nip, but at the Arena. The Gronckle spots Hiccup standing by himself and heads towards him only for him to hold his hand towards it and it lands in front of him taking deep breaths with its eyes dilated as he rubs the Dragon Nip on its nose. After the training when they left the arena Fishlegs and the others swarm Hiccup with questions.

Fishlegs: What was that? Some kind of trick? What did you do?

Tuffnut: How'd you do that?

Ruffnut: It was really cool.

Fishlegs: Hey, Hiccup!

Snotlout: Hey, Hiccup, I've never seen a Gronckle do that before!

Hiccup: I left my axe back in the ring. You guys go on ahead. I'll catch up with you.

[Back at the cove]

Hiccup puts Toothless to sleep by scratching him just below the chin while Hela watches in interest before turning toward Troels who shakes his head as he glares at her only for Hela to smile innocently at him.

[Back to at the Arena]

Hiccup then puts the Deadly Nadder to sleep the same way during training.

Tuffnut: Hiccup, you're totally going to come in first, there's no question.

[Back at the cove]

Toothless chases a shiny light that Hiccup creates using the sun and a hammer. Meanwhile Hela and Troels are seeing who is the fastest flyer and it turns out that they are at the same speed when Hela is in her human form with her wings and tail out but they are both faster than the average Night fury since they made two sonic boom behind them.

[Back at the Arena]

Gobber: Meet the Terrible Terror.

The cage is opened and the Terrible Terror is revealed to be only the size of a Chihuahua. The teens laugh at the tiny dragon.

Tuffnut: Ha! That's like the size of my--

He is cut off as the dragon attacks him biting down on his face.

Tuffnut: AH! GET IT OFF![It gets off of him as it's distracted by a shiny light]OH, I'M HURT! I AM VERY MUCH HURT!

The Terrible Terror chases the shiny light created by Hiccup's shield back into the enclosure.

Tuffnut: [to Astrid] Wow, he's better than you ever were.

[At the forest]

Astrid sees Hiccup holding a harness while throwing her axe at the trees in the forest as she waits for Hela. She gives him a wave which he returns before running away.
