Chapter 1

Sea

(A creaking ship sails in heavy fog. A deck crammed with large cages. Silhouettes of muzzled dragons stir within them. A trapper walks the deck. A captive dragon whines through its muzzle. Ivar hits the cage with his spear, shutting it up)

Ivar: Quiet!

(A click at the end of the corridor stirs Ivar's attention. A sword ignites, revealing an arresting figure in black, glistening dragon armor. A helmet and visor hide his face)

Ivar: What are you?

(The dragon warrior raises a finger to his visor)

Hiccup: Shhh.

(Behind Ivar, Toothless creeps down from the top of a cage, snarling. Panicked, Ivar rushes toward Hiccup, trying to get past him. Ivar jabs his spear. Hiccup hooks it in his flaming sword anddeftly disarms him, sending the spear clattering to the deck. Ivar grabs a hanging lantern and hurls it at Hiccup. It bounces off of his armor and hits the deck, its oil bursting into flame. Undaunted, Hiccup steps through it, fire licking off of his fireproof suit)

Ivar: Aaaagh! You're a demon!

Hiccup: Shhh! No, no, I'm not a demon, I'm not a demon.

(He raises his visor)

Hiccup: See? Just a guy! Just a guy here to  rescue these dragons. So-

Ivar: BUT YOU WALKED THROUGH FIRE!

Hiccup: Dragon scales! Dragons shed a lot.

Ivar: No, I know a demon when I see one! No human legs are that skinny!

Snotlout: Think that's a good entrance?

(An explosion of flame hits the deck as a Monstrous Nightmare lands, engulfed in fire. At it center, Snotlout stands in his saddle, dressed in ridiculous Nightmare-themed dragon armor, his arms raised in victory)

Snotlout: Get a load of me!

(He then, noticess that his suit has caught fire)

Snotlout: Ahh! AGGH!

Ivar: I knew it! MORE DEMONS!

(Snotlout rushes past, screaming, with his rear aflame)

Hiccup: No, really just a nitwit who forgot to fireproof his butt.

Snotlout: AGGHH! Hot-hot-hot!

(Snotlout dives to the deck, rolling to extinguish his smoldering posterior, right into a seeping cloud of greengas, spreading between the cages like dry ice)

Snotlout: Guys, NO! Not yet!

(Click. The gas erupts into a fire ball! The dissipating smoke reveals Ruffnut and Tuffnut, striking dramatic poses akin to stage magicians, sloppily dressed in Zippleback-themed armor. Barf and Belch, their twin-headed Zippleback, emerges behind them)

Tuffnut: Behold your worst nightmare.

Ruffnut: Behold-

Tuffnut: Along with his sister, who insisted on coming.

Ruffnut: That's my intro?

(Y/n and Raiden land on the ship right next to Hiccup and looks at the twins and Snotlout, irritated)

Y/n: Are you serious? Too soon! You always come intoo soo-

Fishlegs: AGGHH!

(Fishlegs crashes down between them with flared, scarab-like wings. He rolls across the deck in heavy Gronckle-themed dragon armor)
