[Scene cuts to at the Arena]

Stoick: Well, I can show my face in public again! If someone had told me that in just few short weeks, Hiccup would go from being, well... Hiccup, to placing first in Dragon Training... Well, I would've tied him to a mast and shipped him off for fear he'd gone mad. Yes! And you know it! But here we are. And no one's more surprised...or more proud than I am. Today, my boy becomes a Viking. TODAY, HE BECOMES ONE OF US!

Astrid: Be careful with that dragon.

Hiccup: (Glances at Stoick) It's not the dragon I'm worried about.

Astrid: What are you gonna do?

Hiccup: Put an end to this.

[She eyes him, dubious.]

Hiccup (cont.): I have to try. Astrid, if something goes wrong... just make sure they don't find Toothless.

Astrid: I will. Just... promise Us it won't go wrong.

Gobber: It's time, Hiccup. Knock him dead.

Tuffnut: Show 'em how it's done, my man!

[Hiccup enters the Arena and picks a dagger from the weapons stand]

Stoick: Hrmph. I would've gone for the hammer.

Hiccup: I'm ready.

[They release the Monstrous Nightmare. Hiccup approaches the Nightmare slowly, raising his hand like how he did to Toothless]

Stoick: What is he doing?

Hiccup: It's okay. It's okay. [throws helmet onto floor] I'm not one of them.

Stoick: Stop the fight.

Hiccup: No! I need you all to see this. They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them.

Stoick: I SAID STOP THE FIGHT! [slams hammer against the Arena railings, agitating the 

Nightmare] Out of my way!

[Frightened, the Nightmare attacks]

Astrid: Hiccup! HICCUP! [enters the ring]

Damian: *Thoughts* OH, For The Love Of Thor *Follows His Sister Into The Ring*

[Meanwhile, at the cove, Toothless hears Hiccup's screams and races to the Arena]

Stoick: This way!

[Astrid escapes, Damian Follows but Hiccup And Jenny Are pinned under the Nightmare's claws. Suddenly, a resonating blast fires at the Arena's railing. Toothless jumps into the Arena. The smoke clears up, revealing the two dragons fighting]

Gobber: Night Fury!

Hiccup: Alright, Toothless, go. Get out of here!

Vikings: Night Fury!

Hiccup: Go! GO!

Viking: Take it alive!

Astrid: Stoick, no!

Damian:Stoick,Please STOP!!!!!

Hiccup: No, Dad, he won't hurt you!

Jenny:Dad,STOP!!!!!!!

Hiccup (cont.): No, don't! You're only making it worse! Toothless, STOP!

Hiccup (cont.): No! NOOOOO!

Viking: Get him!

Hiccup: No! Please, jus-- just don't hurt him! Please don't hurt him.

Stoick: Put it with the others!

Stoick: I should have known. I should have seen the signs.

Hiccup: Dad--

Stoick: We had a deal!

Hiccup: I know we did... But that was before... Ugh, it's all so messed up!

Stoick: So everything in the ring... A trick?! A lie?

Hiccup: I screwed up. I should have told you before now. Take this out on me, be mad at me, but please... just don't hurt Toothless.

Stoick: The dragon? That's what you're worried about? Not the people you almost killed?!

Hiccup: He was just protecting me! He's not dangerous.

Stoick: They've killed HUNDREDS OF US!

Hiccup: AND WE'VE KILLED THOUSANDS OF THEM! They defend themselves, that's all! They raid us because they have to! If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves. There's something else on their island, Dad... it's a dragon like--

Stoick: --Their island? So you've been to the nest.

Hiccup: Did I say nest?

Stoick: How did you find it?!

Hiccup: No... I didn't. Toothless did. Only a dragon can find the island.

Hiccup (cont.): Oh, no, no. Dad, no! Dad! It's not what you think! You don't know what you're up against! It's like nothing you've ever seen! Dad, please! I promise you that you can't win this one! No! Dad, no! FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME!

Stoick: You've thrown your lot in with them. You're not a Viking. You're not my son.

Stoick (cont.): READY THE SHIPS!

[Before walking to the docks, Stoick staggers back, realizing the mistake he just made.]

Stoick: Set sail! We head for Helheim's Gate.

Stoick (cont.): (to a chained Toothless) Lead us home, Devil.
