Episode 8: Edge of Disaster Part 1

Start from the beginning
                                        

(On the beach)

Ryker: Well, guess you don't know the Dragon Riders as well as you thought, eh, Dagur?

Ruffnut: You don't know 'em at all.

Heather: Hey, at least my brother had a plan to get the Dragon Eye. It's not his fault they didn't take the bait.

Ryker: They never left to rescue Trader Johann from those dragons. These girls prove it.

Ruffnut: Yeah. I prove that you have all been fooled.

Bodil: And extremely disfigured. (Ryker hits her across the face with a stick causing a bruise to form.)

Ryker: I told you to shut up.

Heather: Ryker I think we better leave. Come up with a new plan.

Ryker: No new plans. We'll just have to deal with all of them instead.

Ruffnut: Listen, if you all want to go on a suicide mission, that's your problem, buddy. But don't say I didn't warn you!

Dagur: She's lying! She's trying to confuse us.

Ruffnut: I'm always lying! Wait, now I'm confused.

Heather: Or she's telling the truth to confuse us.

Ryker: Gather the men. We move slowly. Destroy anything in our path, until we get our Dragon Eye. Then, we destroy whatever's left. You're coming with me, princess. So I can keep a close eye on you.

Bodil: Whatever you want my queen. (Ryker groans in annoyance.)

Savage: Uh, excuse me, sir. Oh, and ma'am. But there's something I've been wondering about.

Dagur: A daily occurrence, but go ahead.

Savage: In regards to this Ryker fellow, it seems as though he's taken on the role of leader. And, well, I was always under the assumption that this was your role.

Ruffnut: Pfftt! That's not his role.

Dagur: It is, you dunderhead.

Heather: We're just using Ryker for the time being. When he leads us to the Dragon Eye-

Dagur: We figure out the most painful and horrible way to get rid of him and the rest of his crew. Duh!

Savage: Ah! That's a relief.

Dagur: Once we get the Dragon Eye, Ryker and his men? See ya!

Ruffnut: That really is the single worst plan I have ever heard-

Dagur: Would you stop talking!?

(Back at Hiccup and the others)

Hiccup: Stop. Don't move.

Snotlout: Oh, finally. Do you know how long we've been walking? My feet are swollen to the size of watermelons.

Hiccup: Shh!

Johann: Master Hiccup, I realize that you are the dragon expert among us-

Snotlout: I wouldn't say the dragon expert, I'd say-

Hiccup: Shh!

Johann: As I was saying, it appears to me that this island is occupied by a rather unfriendly pack of wild dragons.

Hiccup: You're right, Johann. But it's worse than that.

Snotlout: Oh, ho-ho, you're full of good news, aren't you? Gimme that. So, this means we get to go rescue him, I suppose.

Hiccup: It does. And thank you for volunteering. But it's not gonna be easy.

Snotlout: With you as captain, I know it won't.

Hiccup: Right, you see up there? Dragon sentries. They look like they're ready for anything. It's gonna be really hard to get anywhere near Fishlegs.

Johann: Well, I suppose the life of a Dragon Rider is shorter than most. I'll miss him dearly.

Snotlout: Good point, Johann. Let's get out of here.

Hiccup: No, no, we're not going anywhere. I said it's gonna be hard, not impossible. Aquantis? Hey woah woah. Easy girl, what's going on?

Snotlout: Hiccup on her leg.

Hiccup: Bo's necklace, she never takes it off.

Snotlout: Is that blood?

Hiccup: Yes the question is who's blood is it?

(Back at the Edge)

Astrid: This is our last line of defense, Stormfly. If they make it this far, hopefully, these will take them out.

Tuffnut: Uh-oh. Uh, regardless of how this looks right now, I can assure you I have a master plan for these balloons.

Astrid: I'm sure you do.

Tuffnut: Um, but Astrid, just a little quick thing. Can you bring me back down to Earth, before I fly into the sun? Is it time?

Astrid: It's time. This is gonna be a rough day, Stormfly. Whatever we have to face, I'm glad we're facing it together. Hey, whatcha got there?

Tuffnut: Ta-da! Only the solution to all our problems. I call Macey, but you can have any of the others, except maybe this sword and this axe. Can't decide, huh? Yeah, I can understand that.

Astrid: Tuff, these weapons are all for close combat. If we get to that point, there's two of us and we're done.

Tuffnut: Oh. Well, no, I know that, but-

Astrid: Listen, we don't have time. Just do me one favor.

Tuffnut: Fine, but-

Astrid: The ballista on my roof, you know how to use it, right?

Tuffnut: Uh, it's a massively destructive weapon, isn't it?

Astrid: It is. So, get up there, and massively destroy things. But on my command, not before. Got it?

Tuffnut: Got it. Come on, Macey.

(On Ryker's Ship)

Ryker: You feel the air? That's fear. Soon it'll be death.
