[The episode opens up with a Monstrous Nightmare flying over Berk. It lands on top of a house. The house breaks and the Nightmare falls.]

"I can't believe how much we upgraded Berk just for some madman to burn our hard work down to the ground." Hiccup said

Hiccup (v.o.): Living with dragons has its ups... and its downs. You need to stay calm. Keep a clear head. Not always easy with Vikings.

"They have a short fuse when it comes to anger." Hiccup said

[Scene changes to show Hiccup drawing sketches of dragon perches, with Gobber watching over his shoulder.]
Hiccup: More supports?
Gobber: Eh, well, they are dragons.
Hiccup (v.o.): In our own way, we're very reasonable.
[Scene cuts to Berkians building the dragon perches. Stormfly hovers over one to test it out, and hesitates.]

"See even the dragons know it's a bad idea." Mala said

Astrid: It's okay, girl. Just take it easy.

[Stormfly lands on it. And it supports her weight.]
Hiccup: Yes! It works!
Gobber: Way to go!
Snotlout: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Tuffnut: So we built these things so stuff wouldn't break?

"Correction instead of breaking they all went on fire which was awesome." Tuffnut said

Ruffnut: I don't understand you people.
Tuffnut: And they tricked us into helping them build them. I feel so used... and sweaty.
[The scene changes to night, and shows Hiccup, Stoick, and Gobber at a table in Hiccup's house.]
Hiccup (v.o.): But when a problem is caused by something Vikings don't understand, they lose all sense of reason. And that can become very dangerous.

"It also happens in my world as well, it's what we call a riot." Gary said

Stoick: Perches for dragons! Some of your best work, men. Although we may need to move the one over the well.
Hiccup: And the perches are just the beginning, we can build landing areas for them, maybe even stables in the caves underneath the village and-
Stoick: Easy son, remember Berk is still for people.
Gobber: Vikings before dragons. [Thunder crashes, and Toothless flinches.] Yeah, I said it. Deal with it.

"Why did Toothless flinch when the thunder crashed?" Mindin asked

"In the Dragon Manual it says Night Furies are the Unholy of Lighting and Death so i'm guessing with Lightning coming Toothless flinched since it's what his kind is." Astrid said

"That is until we found something new about the Night Furies." Fishlegs said

[Everyone rushes outside.]
Hiccup: The lightning is hitting everywhere.
Stoick: It usually doesn't strike here in the village.
Gobber: Thor must be angry. The only other time I can remember lighting ever striking Berk--
Gobber and Stoick: Barnstat.
Hiccup: Barn-who?
Stoick: Jürgen Barnstat, drifter, sailed into town. He was stealing from widows and old men.
Gobber: To punish him, Thor gave him a lightning bolt right to his helmet when he was fixing the mast on his ship to make his escape.
Stoick: By the time Thor was finished with him, our whole fleet was on fire!
Gobber: We shipped him off the island and Thor hasn't hit the village since.
Hiccup: Threw him off the island? Pretty harsh.
[Lightning strikes a house, and men shout.]
Stoick: Gobber.
[They run into the middle of the village. Several other houses catch on fire, and a Terrible Terror runs in fear, but is trapped. Astrid swoops by on Stormfly and rescues it.]
Stoick: Gobber, organize a bucket brigade. I'm going up to Great Hall.
[Lightning strikes near Toothless, and he roars and runs away.]

"Doesn't Toothless have metal in his tail?" Thork asked

"Yes he does and we sovled it after we almost kicked Toothless off the island." Gobber said
