My Chieftess... ✨Scripted✨ version

Episode 3: Chain of Command

Snotlout: That is a terrible idea.

Minden: I need to redeem myself.

Snotlout: Minden, it's not worth the risk.

Minden: It is to me! I need to do this, Snotlout.

[Minden walks away alone pausing only for enough time to glance back at Atali before she tries to continue walking only to be ambushed by Snotlout riding Hookfang]

Snotlout: If this goes south and trust me, it's gonna go south, you are going to have to tell Hiccup that I tried really, really hard to talk you out of it. Got it!

[Scene changes to Defenders of the Wing Island where the Riders are gathered around disgruntled Dagur and Mala with Fishlegs acting as the go between]

Mala/(Dagur): I've been leading (This girl) the (thinks) Defenders of the (that she has) Wing (been in) for (more battles) years (than me?) now. (I mean look at me, I'm battle-hardened.).

Fishlegs: Alright, okay! I understand what you're saying. Dagur, Mala wants you to know that she's been though more conflicts than you have hairs on your head.

Dagur: Oh, my hairline! Really? Oh, well, um, sorry, it was on my father's side. You can tell Miss Conquest over there that although she hopes her plan works, hope is, in fact, not a strategy!

Mala: Ugh!

Fishlegs: I think she heard you.

Mala/(Dagur): Hope is instrumental (Hope is not a strategy.) to keeping (Hope) morale (is not a strategy.) high, if you knew (Hope) anything! (is not a strategy. Infinity!)

[The Twins pull Fishlegs away as Dagur and Mala continue to argue in the background]

Tuffnut: Fishlegs, Fishlegs, Fishlegs. Obviously mediation isn't your forte.

Ruffnut: Obvi. What you need are professionals.

Tuffnut: And it just so happens that Ruff and I have mediated every Thorston family squabble, since before we could talk. Yeah, we did a couple in the old womb. Don't you worry. We'll have this situation under control before you can say -

Ruffnut: Tightrope.

Fishlegs: Tight, what?

Ruffnut: Tightrope!

Tuffnut: The first one to knock the other off the rope wins!

Ruffnut: Tightrope, tightrope, tightrope, tightrope.

Bodil: Uh, do you two even know what "mediation" means?

Tuffnut: Yeah, the act of spending time in quiet thought or reflection.

Ruffnut: Usually resulting in clarity of mind and relaxed bowels.

Fishlegs: Uh, that's meditation, sort of.

Tuffnut: Hold on, hold on. Who's the authority on mediation you or us? And who's the authority on relaxed bowels? Ruffnut. [Ruffnut breaks wind] I thought so.

Astrid: Ugh.

[Scene changes to Minden and Snotlout sneaking to a secret entrance located in a chasm at the top of Wingmaiden Island]

Minden: It's down there.

[Minden points down the seemingly bottomless hole]

Snotlout: Down there as in how far down?

Minden: As in all the way down. It's impossible to reach without flight.

Snotlout: Yeah, I could see that.
