Episode 3: Chain of Command

Start from the beginning
                                        

Mala: Might I suggest we place them inside our volcano. It's far from the easiest location to access.

Dagur: [Chuckles] Inside an active volcano? That's what you're proposing?

Mala: Yes.

Dagur: Well, what happens when, you know, it erupts?

Mala: If it erupts, we have the Eruptodon to manage its lava flow.

Dagur: "If," "when," same thing really. And you're sure your "Great Protector" can handle a full-scale eruption? Of course you're not. Berserker Island is the obvious choice. Our Berserker guards-

Mala: Allowed a coup to take place right under their noses. I do have that correct, right?

Dagur: [Chuckling] This one thinks she's got it all figured out. But she really has nothing figured out!

[Twins shown eating popcorn]

Bodil: Okay, let's just all calm down for a second.

Dagur: [Yells] [Tuffnut gasps and drops the popcorn] I'm calm! [Chuckles] Do I not look calm? I mean, I'm not crazy. It's her, right? I mean, look at me.

[Astrid, Bodil, and Fishlegs share a glance]

Fishlegs: We got this. Meatlug, drop spin. [Meatlug spins dragging her tail and creates a cirlce in the dirt] This is what I like to call "common ground." Won't you join me?

[Scene changes to show Snotlout and Minden flying through the sky on the night of a full moon]

Minden: How can Atali not trust me to go with her? I mean, Nadia? Seriously? What does she have that I don't?

Snotlout: You're speaking my lingo, Mindo, but that's the way of the world. Our leaders give the important jobs to the skinny blondes and give us dumb tasks to keep us busy and want us to be appreciative. You ask me, I think they're scared of being shown up by true warriors. But it ain't gonna change. I mean, there's a way it's supposed to be and a way that it is.

Minden: I can't accept that. I won't accept that.

Snotlout: If you don't accept it, it will eat away at you until it rips you in two. And trust me -

Wingmaiden: Minden! Minden! A fire has broken out on the west side of the island. And it's spreading quickly!

Snotlout: Ugh! I'll go get Hiccup.

Minden: Snotlout, no!

Snotlout: What do you mean "no"?

Minden: What if this is my chance? What if this is my moment to prove her wrong, to prove that I can handle things on my own?

Snotlout: [laughs] Yeah. Look, I've had the same thoughts, okay? But it doesn't work like that!

Minden: Round up all the guards and meet me on the west side of the island.

Wingmaiden: All the guards?

Minden: Everyone. Together, under my guidance, we will stop this fire.

[Scene changes to show a part of the forest set ablaze while the Wingmaidens and Snotlout carry buckets filled with water]

Snotlout: Nope. Okay, I don't know about this, Mindo. That fire is huge. Huge!

Minden: Wingmaidens, fire line formation!

[Three Wingmaidens line up single-file and drop water on the flames. Meanwhile, other Wingmaiden dig a trench and clear the brush to stop the fire from spreading]

Wingmaiden: Fire break complete, Minden.

[Snotlout lands and puts out a small fire]

Minden: You see, Snotlout? We didn't need Hiccup or Atali. This will surely show her that I am more than capable of- [Explosions occur near the Wingmaiden outpost]
