Episode 3: Follow the Leader

Start from the beginning
                                        

(Snotlout looks shocked. Scene now changes to Fishlegs walking with Meatlug in the woods.)

Fishlegs: There's more to being a leader than just bravery. You have to be quick-witted, light on your feet, have a keen eye for the unexpected. I have all those things. Don't wanna know what that was. Or do we? I am not afraid. I'm brave. I'm brave! And I'm even a little crazy. We're going in, girl. It came from in here, right? That's what I thought, too. Maybe it was.... Meatlug, look! Look at the markings. Ancient. Come on, Meatlug. Help me get this out. Almost. Keep going. Whoa! I'm okay, girl. Phew! Huh. What the- Meatlug, give me another blast. You know what, girl? I think you and I have stumbled onto an archaeological find for the ages. I hope you're hungry, Snotlout. 'Cause you are gonna be eating your words, big time. Come on, we gotta go tell the others.

(Scene changes to the other Dragon Riders. Hiccup has returned.)

Tuffnut: I don't see what the big deal is. It's our stuffed yak.

Hiccup: It's not the yak, Tuffnut. It's the Monstrous Nightmare gel you used to set the yak on fire.

Bodil: We've been harvesting it to defend the Edge from Viggo and his army.

Snotlout: All right, so we might've gotten a little carried away. What's the big deal? It's not like we don't know where we can get more.

Hiccup: What if our dragons aren't around? What if the Dragon Hunters attack again and we don't have the Nightmare gel?

Bodil: Hookfang can't replace all that.

Snotlout: I didn't say he was going to.

Hiccup: Would you just get more gel? I don't care how you do it, just do it.

Snotlout: Come on.

Fishlegs: Hiccup! Hiccup! You are not gonna believe this.

Hiccup: Yeah, no kidding. I can't believe any of this. Fishlegs, did you know this was going on?

Fishlegs: Well, yes, I guess. Sort of. I told them to stop.

Hiccup: And?

Fishlegs: And what?

Hiccup: And they didn't. And now we've got fires to put out all around the base and an emptied out emergency supply of Monstrous Nightmare gel. Fishlegs, we're on our own out here. Okay? This kind of stuff just can't happen. Not with Viggo out there.

Fishlegs: I just... I- I'm sorry, Hiccup. You know how the twins and Snotlout can be.

Hiccup: Yes, I do. But you're better than that. It's just disappointing.

(Scene changes: Fishlegs is with Meatlug, now in a cave.)

Fishlegs: Ugh! I hate it when Hiccup gets disappointed. Mad, I can handle. Disappointed is so much worse. Keep going, girl. If we can show him what we found, he will- Whoa! Meatlug! Ohh! Huh. I'm okay. I'm okay. Phew! Okay. Let's see what's down here. Uh, Meatlug. Oh, Thor. Uh. Hello there. My name is Fishlegs. And this is Meatlug. Say hi, girl. Okay. Okay, okay. Didn't like that. It's not a problem. Oh. I gotta have something in here that you might... Boar rinds. No, no, no, no, it's okay. They're good. See? Really? Now you're a finicky eater? Delicious. Ah. Good, right? Look at this place, Meatlug. Who knew these guys were beneath us all this time? Sorry, that's all I have. You know, you look a lot like a Night Terror I know. His name is Smidvarg. Oh, you like that. Well, I can't call you Smidvarg, because that's already taken. But how about Darkvarg? Get it? 'Cause it's, you know. Oh. Oh, no, no, it's okay. It's okay. There you go. No problem, it's just a bag. Watch. I am Darkvarg. Just a silly in the- Woohoo. Oh, you like that, huh? You want us to go this way? Who am I to argue? What in the name of Thor? Meatlug, give me a blast. It's a lost civilization. Wow. These guys have made it their home. They've turned it into their own dragon village. Oh, I wonder who sits there? Huh. What's over here? Ohh! Oh, another chamber. I don't understand. Why are you guys crammed in there? So much roomier in here. I mean, why wouldn't they- Oh, it's the sun. You guys are cave dwellers. You can't be in the light. Aw... You know what? You guys wait here. We'll be back.
