Vikings watch httyd

1st dragon training session

EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - DAY

Gobber raises a massive iron gate at the entrance of a vast stone arena.

GOBBER: Welcome to dragon training!

DRAGONS: Dragon training? When did the Vikings start to be with dragons without killing them?

The Dragons from the kill ring begin to back up from the screen on terror. Only Toothless and Hiccup noticing their reactions and filling with pity and guilt.

The recruits file through the gate, and out onto the arena floor. They take it in like gladiators entering the colosseum. The walls are covered in scorched silhouettes of blasted Vikings. It's a grim yet awe-inspiring place.

ASTRID: No turning back.

TUFFNUT: I hope I get some serious burns.

Dragons are confused.

DRAGONS: Why would they get burned if they are going to work with the Dragons?

RUFFNUT: I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back.

ASTRID: Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it.

HICCUP: (O.S.) Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain. Love it.

The recruits turn to see Hiccup behind them. Groans all around.

TUFFNUT: Oh great. Who let him in?

Dragons begin to growl at the Tuffnut on the screen for the tone they are taking with the night fury's human Hiccup.

The Vikings look to the dragons in confusion at their sudden out burst.

GOBBER: Hey Rafayela, why are the Dragons freaking out like that?

RAFAYELA: They are angry because they care for their own. No matter how little they actually know each other.

SPITELOUT: What a stupid question Gobber. They are angry because they know the kids will soon become True vikings.

The villagers yell their approval at Spitelout's point having high hopes for the future warriors.

GOBBER: Ey, Don't speak to me that way idiotic Spitelout. I was asking because they did not growl immediately if you think that it is why then let's continue the film. It's not like i was getting a real answer anyway.(looks to Rafayela with mild frustration)

GOBBER: Let's get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village.

DRAGONS: WHAT? kill dragons? We thought this was dragon training.

TOOTHLESS: They meant Dragon killing training not Dragon training.

DRAGONS: Oh, that makes sense no dragon in it's right mind would join those beast excluding your human of course.

TOOTHLESS: I know my human Hiccup is the best human. He's curious, smart, has magic hands, and kind.

Dragons coo in interest while looking towards Hiccup with wonder in their eyes as their eyes begin to dilate when they look at him.

SNOTLOUT: Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him or...?

RUFFNUT/TUFFNUT: Ha That's funny since he really did hit a nightfury. But he didn't kill it.

SNOTLOUT: Shut up I didn't know he actually hit it.

Snotlout sits in his seat pouting in embarrassment.
