How to Train Your Dragon 3
Cressida Cowell
1. Hiccup and Fishlegs are in the sad boat they made, the Hopeful Puffin, listening to Gobber’s lesson on how to board an ent ship. Toothless pokes his head out of Hiccups shirt a bit, but Hiccup tells him he can go back to sleep and he does. Gobber tells them to follow the trail of sea dragons that follow the fisherman’s boats to eat the leftovers. They have to bring him a fisherman’s helmet to pass the lesson. He warns them to stay in the area to avoid running into Sharkworm dragons. Hiccup reads off his notes on them to the class and suggests they leave if there is any chance of running into any. Snotlout points out Hiccup and Fishlegs deficiencies as Vikings as well as the issues with the boat they made that has sprung a leak. Gobber blows his horn to signal the start of their test
2. Snotlout and Dogsbreath steer their boat directly into the Hopeful Puffin, which ends up spinning around and getting lost in the fog. The boys try to listen for where the other Vikings have gone, but they don’t hear anything. Hiccup starts to worry they have ended up in the Summer Current and will be eaten by sharkworms. Toothless wakes up and Hiccup asks him to fly out and point them in the right direction. Toothless is hungry and refuses. They have a big fight and Toothless goes on strike. Fishlegs points out the predicament, but Toothless won’t accept Hiccups apology. Fishlegs hears crying sea dragons and they follow the sound to a very large ship. He throws a grappling hook over the side and climbs the rope in hopes of completing their lesson. Hiccup follows trying to urge Fishlegs not to rush into anything. Fishlegs jumps into the boat with his sword and gives a war cry to find a fleet of Roman soldiers aboard the ship.
3. Fishlegs tries to tell the Romans he is there by mistake, but they speak different languages. Fishlegs runs around trying to evade capture. Hiccup sees there is a cage full of all sorts of dragons. He sneaks over the side of the boat and into a tent. He hides and listens to the fat Consol and the skinny Prefect talk about their plan to put the Hooligan tribe against the Burglar tribe so they can steal all the dragons in the area. Hiccup happens to see an electricsquirm on the curtain and puts in into the honeyed tray of nano dragons the fat Consol is eating. When the Consol picks it up, it shocks him and causes enough commotion for Hiccup to free the caged dragons. Fishlegs yells for Hiccup and Hiccup yells for Toothless.
4. Toothless calls off his strike when he hearsHiccup yell for him. He flies as fast as he can at the centurion holding Fishlegs, but gets stuck in his helmet strap. Hiccup puts a slitherfang in the centurion’s under garments. In all the excitement, Fishlegs is able to get back to their little boat. Hiccup drops his “How to Speak Dragonese” book and the thin prefect is there trying to grab it from him. The book splits in two when the prefect stabs Hiccups hand and the Viking boy jumps back. He is scapes with half the book and starts looking around for Toothless. He sees his dragon flying away from the ship, but a net is thrown to drag him back in. The Roman ship disappears into the fog.
5. When the fog clears, the Roman ship is gone. They are out of the summer current Fishlegs paddles them back towards Berk. The additional damage the Hopeful Puffin has taken during the adventure causes it to fill with water too fast for Hiccup and Fishlegs to save it and it sinks. They swim to shore where Gobber is waiting for them. They explain what happened and Gobber yells at them for being the worst recruits he has ever had. Stoick is also disappointed when Hiccuo comes home and gets a report from Gobber. Hiccup wants Stoick to gather the tribe to go after Toothless, but Stoick says they cannot waste the warriors time on it and Hiccup needs to start thinking more like a chief. Hiccup tries to tell Stoick the Roman’s plan, but Stoick is upset that Hiccup has been learning Latin instead of focusing on his Viking lessons. He take’s Hiccup’s half of How to Speak Dragonese and throws it in the fire. Hiccup waits until his father is out of the room before he rescues it. Hiccup is miserable sleeping without Toothless.
6. Toothless is trapped in a tiny cage in a dungeon deep underground crying for help.
7. Hiccup wakes up to the sound of a nano dragon singing and pulls the one he saved out of his jacket pocket. The arrogant little dragon introduces himself as the most powerful being in the world, Ziggerastica. He is indebted to Hiccup for saving him and says he will repay his debt. If Hiccup ever finds himself in mortal danger, he just needs to speak Ziggerastica’s name. The nano dragon leaves. At breakfast, Stoick gets a letter supposedly from Bertha, leader of the Bog Burglars, accusing the Hairy Hooligans of taking their heir. Stoick is furious. Hiccup tries to explain this is part of the Roman’s plan, and Stoick does stop to listen. In the end, Stoick would rather declare a blood feud with the Bog Burglars. He leaves the house to prepare his tribe. Old Wrinkly points out Hiccup is going to be late for class.
8. Snotlout and his friends are picking on Fishlegs when Hiccup gets to class. Hiccup yells at them until Gobber arrives. Gobber is impressed with Hiccups improvements in rudery. Gobber picks Hiccup to attempt Foreigner Frightening in Wartihog, but Hiccup has lost all steam from his sadness over Toothless. Gobber has Snotlout show the class what to do. Two Romans dressed as women Bog Burglars come into the class and pin Gobber to the wall by his beard with an axe. They ask for the heir to the Hooligan tribe, but no one answers. They discuss in Roman who they should take and decide on Hiccup and Fishlegs from their boss’ description. Hiccup tries to tell Gobber they are Romans, but Gobber is to enrage to listen.
9. The two Roman kidnappers take Hiccup and Fishlegs to their boat and sail away in the opposite direction of the Bog Burglar’s island. The wildlife starts to disappear as they get closer to Fort Sinister. As they approach, They can hear the dragons screaming from the large, exposed cages they are kept in. Hiccup and Fishlegs are amazed at the size of the fort. They sail through the gate and it closes behind them.
10. The boys are taken to a room where the fat Consol and skinny prefect are waiting for them. It isn’t long before the skinny prefect reveals he is Alvin the Treacherous. He used his sword to escape the Monstrous Strangulator and the. Climbed his way through the caves to get out of the underwater cavern. He tries to give a gronkle commands, but his Dragonese and a so bad, he keeps messing up the words. Knowing Alvin is going to just take his half of the how to Speak Dragonese book, Hiccup gives it up. Alvin is ready to kill the bits, but the fat Consol wants them to compete I. The Saturday games as warriors. Hiccup asks Alvin to let Toothless go, but he refuses remembering that the little dragon had defecated in his helmet. The gronkle Carrie’s them off to join the Bog Burglar heir in her cell. Hiccup is hopeful they might be able to make peace between the two Viking tribes.
11. The Gronkle takes the boys to a cell. Hiccup and Fishlegs try to introduce themselves to the girl that is in there already, but she thinks they are Romans and immediately attacks with her sword. Hiccup defends against her and ends up kissing his sleeves before he can convince her who they really are. She introduces herself as Camicazi, the heir to the Bog Burglars. Hiccup asks her if she has see. Toothless and she says the Prefect has a particular hate for the little dragon. Another guard comes in and tosses a ball at Hiccup. It ends up being Toothless, who pretends to be mad at Hiccup before thanking him for the rescue from the tiny underground cell he was in.
12. Toothless is happy to be reunited with Hiccup, but Fishlegs points out they still need to be rescued themselves. Camicazi says she has been kidnapped before and always escapes. She calls herself the Master Escaper and says she can get out of anything. Hiccup plans to wait for his father to come rescue them, but he isn’t really sure Stoick will come for them.
13. Stoick tries to think like a chief, but he knows he’ll never have another son like Hiccup. He debates whether to attack the Big Burglars or send a war party out to look for a Roman Forte.
14. Hiccup spends a week looking out the window waiting for his father’s army. Toothless spends a lot of time on Hiccups head refusing to eat the Roman food. Camicazi has three unsuccessful escape attempts. She ends up knocking out a guard that brings them food and taking his uniform. The uniform is so big on her petite body it looks more like a wedding dress. The next day, a guard tells them she was caught immediately and put into solitary confinement for 3 days.
15. The warm water from the Roman baths has started to spill over into the sea from all the rain. Sharkworms are coming by the thousands and waiting for the bloodshed they are anticipating
16. Camicazi returns to their cell the day before Saturn’s Day Saturday. Hiccup accepts that his father isn’t coming to rescue them. He calls out for Ziggerastica, who arrives 3 hours later. When the nano dragon arrives, Toothless catches him. Hiccup and the others try to catch him to free Ziggerastica, but are unable to. Eventually, they decide to ignore Toothless and whisper about their plans. When Toothless gets curious enough to get closer to them, Camicazi is able to grab him. They free Ziggerastica from Toothless’ mouth and Hiccup pours on the flattery. He tells the nanodragon his plan and convinces him to go through with it by pointing out how mad the father Consol will be. Hiccup hopes the gladiatorial events will be cancelled because of the weather.
17. The next day is the Saturn’s Day Saturday festival. A large metal net has been put over the arena to keep the competing dragon’s from escaping. Once the Consol (itchy rash all over) is present, Alvin bangs his hook against a Roman shield to start the games. Colorful doves are released and sidewinder dragons (like chameleons) are sent after them. Once all of the doves are eaten, Flashfang dragons are sent in to eat the sidewinders. Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Camicazi are take. To a small boat called the Valhalla Express. Hiccup explains since the ground was not suitable for fighting, they will flood the stadium and have them fight from their ships. Toothless is worried about the Flashfangs, but Hiccup assured him they can’t swim. The guard gives them a wave and released the boat.
18. The little ship sails out to the arena. Alvin introduces them and the crowd thinks both Toothless’ size and Camicazi’s gender are jokes. Hiccup notices the water is warm. He tell Alvin to get on with their gladiators, who opens the other gate.
19. The three young Vikings wait a while, but no gladiators come for them. There are a few ripples in the water and they all realize their opponents are sharkworms. Hiccup points out they are safe because none of them are bleeding, but Fishlegs points out Hiccup fell and cut his shin on their way to the arena. Hiccup calls out to Ziggerastica to make sure things are going according to plan. After the nano dragon confirms his part, Hiccup puts himself in a barrel. Reluctantly Fishlegs and Camicazi throw him overboard. The four sharkworms go after him and their wake causes the barrel to spin around. When they are really ready to attack, one of the sharkworms sets the barrel on fire. Hiccup calls out for Ziggerastica just as the four sharkworms are charging at him. Hiccup is launched into the air.
20. Hiccup flies up to the net and cuts through it. He tells speaks in a voice he has never used before and tells the audience he is the Viking god Thor. He says the Roman’s have angered him for their treachery in his territory. The fat Consul agrees to never come this far north again. Hiccup then says he needs his torn book returned and flies down to the Consul’s balcony to take it from Alvin. Alvin tries desperately to remove the poisonous nanodragon he put in the book as a booby trap, but is unable to before Hiccup takes the book. He notices something about Hiccup’s shirt as he flies off again. Hiccup tells the fat Consul his last demand is that he become vegetarian. He threatens to take down Rome if they break their promises and shows off his power by breaking the damn and allowing water to flood the stadium.
21. The audience goes crazy with fear as the water rises and the sharkworms get closer to them. Hiccup flies down to Fishlegs and Camicazi on the boat and tells them the plan is for them to sail out to sea with the rising seawater from the broken dam. As the boat is under the portcullis, Alvin is able to close it and smash the boat. The three young Vikings climb up the portcullis. Camicazi points out an unmanned balloon they can use to fly away and they continue climbing. Hiccup asks the gronkle that supplies the fire to make the balloon fly to help them and it is agreeable. Hiccup promises they will release him once they are safe. Toothless tries to hold off Alvin while they get Fishlegs in, but Alvin is able to get his hook into the bottom of the basket as they take off. Hiccup has everyone run in a circle to spin the balloon which unscrews Alvin’s hook from his arm. He falls into the sea and the three young Vikings continue flying away. Hiccup spots the war ships his father sent for him.
22. Stoick tries to keep himself calm as Bertha boards his ship to call him a coward for running away. Stoick tries to explain the rescue, but get dragged into a yelling match. The nanodragon that was in the book crawls out of Hiccups pocket and onto Fishlegs. Fishlegs flings it off him and it ends up tearing a hole in the balloon which Toothless has been trying to steer onto one of the boats. They land between Stoick and Bertha. Bertha is happy to have her heir back and gives Stoick Grimbeard the Ghastly’s shield (they have held it as a trophy for some time). Snotlout tries to take credit for the victory by holding up the shield for the other ships to see, but Fishlegs pushes him into the sea. Stoick shows Hiccup that Gobber rescued and patched the Hopeful Puffin and tells Hiccup, Toothless, Fishlegs, and Camicazi to lead them home in it.
