[Snotlout] Five-thousand pounds of flaming muscle coming through!
-[Tuffnut] Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! -[Ruffnut] Yeah!
[grunting]
Argh! Stormfly, go!
Ha ha!
[grunts]
[both scream]
[Astrid sighs] That sight never gets old.
Two less Flyers, two more free Singetails.
[chuckles, shouts]
[gasps] No!
Huh?
[yells]
[cries out]
Oh, my Thor!
[man] Ahoy, out there!
Sinking Johann's ships-- it's not just a job, it's a calling.
Yeah, so what are we calling him this time?
-Sissy! -Meathead!
Slapbutt! Ugly legs! Weird ears!
Am I the only one who noticed
that no matter how many Singetails we free,
Johann always seems to find more?
Wow. Thanks for killing the mood.
You know, Snotlout, you are the only one who noticed.
You could fill a book with all the things
that only you and your genius brain noticed.
A book, you say? Hmm.
The World According to Snotlout
or The Wit and Wisdom of Snotlout .
-A short story. -A work of fiction.
Very funny. Chapter one-- "The Many Ways I Am Unappreciated."
Where did you get a book?
[Fishlegs] Hiccup! Help!
[Hiccup gasps] Look! Toothless, go!
Like many other visionaries, my insight into this world, ah--
Hmm. Just us again, Hooky.
The plight of the Snot is a lonely one.
[squeals]
I didn't mean to do it.
Ah, she probably didn't feel a thing.
-Yeah. Looks like she went peacefully. -She's not dead, you two!
Oh, we just assumed. [chuckles] Apologies.
Relax, Fishlegs. She'll come to eventually.
-[growls curiously] -Toothless, what is it?
Is that Deathsong amber?
Yeah. How did that get there?
What if Krogan found out where we hid Garff?
Let's not jump to conclusions.
We got to go check on him, now!
Astrid, wait!
You guys go. This is my responsibility. I-I'll take her back to the Edge.
[grunts]
[both yelling]
Chapter two-- "Never Be the Guy Who Stays Behind by Himself."
[frog croaks]
Hey! [groans]
[Astrid] Garff?
Garff?
I don't see him.
[screeching]
[sighs]
Garff! Hi!
Well, it doesn't look like the Flyers have been here.
It doesn't look like anybody's been here. Look at Garff.
[laughs]
So, if the amber on that Singetail didn't come from Garff,
-it had to come from the adult Deathsong. -Which means the Flyers must have him.
That would explain how they could round up and subdue dragons
as powerful as Singetails.
Krogan must be using the Deathsong to draw them in
and capture them with its amber.
If we could free that Deathsong--
We could cut off the Flyers' supply of new dragons.
And reunite it with Garff.
Sure, but mostly we cut off the supply to new dragons.
We can do both.
But first, we have to figure out where the Deathsong is.
Let's get back to the Edge.
Aw. Look at Garff.
Can we bring him?
Astrid, you're killing me.
No. Not a chance. He's safer here.
[sighs] But he's lonely.
[gurgles]
And safe. He stays. End of story.
[screeches]
End of story, eh? Way to go, Hiccup.
You ever won an argument with her?
Eh, it always seemed like kind of a pointless exercise.
But what do I know?
O-okay. Look.
See all those areas where Ice Tail Pike are found?
Good hunting grounds for Singetails. Krogan would locate near them for sure.
According to this, Singetails prefer nonvolcanic islands,
so that would rule these three out.
Could I interrupt and address the Singetail in the room?
[purring]
He couldn't just leave her.
So I guess everybody just gets to bring whatever dragons they want
to the Edge now?
Chapter three-- "Don't Bring Untrainable Dragons Home." Duh.
Subtitle-- "Bad Things Always Happen."
What?
Given food supply, nonvolcanic islands, and migration patterns,
I'd say this is the area where I would set up to catch Singetails.
They wouldn't be at the one on the left. That's where we fought the Cavern Crasher.
We fought it?
Chapter four-- "People Always Steal My Credit."
You're right. Not a good place for a base with that guy burrowing everywhere.
So our best shot is right here.
What are we waiting for? Let's go rescue that Deathsong.
Uh, okay. But this time, Astrid, obviously, Garff has to stay behind.
We can't risk giving Krogan another Deathsong, right?
Astrid, he's not trained.
He won't be lonely.
Fishlegs and Meatlug will be here taking care of the Singetail, so…
[screeches]
-[sighs] -[Snotlout chuckles]
Chapter five-- "Hiccup Haddock, Missing a Leg and a Backbone."
[Hiccup groans]
Hiccup, look.
If that's where we fought the Cavern Crasher,
then the Deathsong should be there.
Let's go.
Everyone in formation. Stay above cloud cover.
[dragons moaning]
Okay. These people obviously do not want company.
[Hiccup] There's the Deathsong.
[roars]
[man grunts]
Grab that Singetail. Move it along!
-[men grunting] -Get it under control!
-[screeching] -Hold it!
We can take those guys, easy. We have the element of surprise.
Ah, but they have the element of "there are way more people."
Astrid, it's too risky.
We need to work out a plan.
Maybe bring in some backup from Berk.
[screeches]
-Huh? -[roars]
[men grunting]
Well, so much for the element of surprise.
[screeches]
[gasps] Stormfly!
[screeches]
No!

Ugh!

Ha!
Garff! No!

Chapter six--
"Wild Dragons on Missions-- Now, That's a Bad Idea."
[Astrid growls]
We have to help him, Hiccup!
Astrid, you know we can't. We would just get caught, too.
We need to fall back and figure out a plan.
[Fishlegs humming]
What do you say we at least get those reins off
so it wakes up a free dragon?
-Whoa! -[roaring]
We were taking it off, not putting it back on.
[grunts]
Yes, I know she can't understand me, okay? I am nervous!
Would you like a little sagefruit? It'll keep you calm...
-which will keep me calm. -[sniffs]
Oh!
[chomping]
[sighs] Ah!
Okay, all right, not a fan of fruit, huh?
You're more of a, um, meat eater.
[growls]
[screeching]
Maybe it's the head injury.
[grunts] Okay, out you go.
[shouts]
[sighs] All right.
That was close. She'll probably be fine, right?
[grunts]
Good idea. We will follow her for a while, just to be safe.
[grunts] Come on.
[grunts, straining]
[roars]
-[grunting] -[gasps]
[man] Down, dragon!
What Krogan is making that Deathsong do--
-Using one dragon to trap another, it's-- -Brilliant.
Evil.
You didn't let me finish. It's brilliant-ly evil.
But mostly evil.
Obviously, like, 70% evil and then, you know, 25% brilliant. Or fift--
Eighty, ten.
You know, they say that truly evil people are also geniuses.
So what does that make us?
Uh, okay, okay. We need a plan of attack.
We could get past the ground defenses by coming in low and fast
from these three directions at once,
but how do we do that and handle the Flyers?
[Ruffnut chuckles] Look at that guy.
They're trying to pull him out by his head.
[grunting]
A technique that has the benefit of being both painful and ineffective.
Oh, they could totally use some of Hooky's Monstrous Nightmare gel.
Too bad they don't have any.
But we have plenty of Monstrous Nightmare gel, right?
Always. Why'd we want to use it to free the Hunters?
Not the Hunters.
The Singetails.
Exactly.
Chapter seven--
"Snotlout's Monstrous Nightmare Gel Saves the Day Again."
[snarls]
Fine. SnotFang's Monstrous Nightmare--
Okay! Hookfang's Nightmare--
You know what? This is my book, not yours.
And don't push me, or I'll redact your dragon butt.
[screeching]
[chuckles]
Okay, when you see me light the gel, start your attack runs.
Earplugs in, everybody?
Yep.
[growls]
-What did he say? -They're for the dragons, Tuffnut.
Just in case they try to un-muzzle the Deathsong,
we don't need it controlling our dragons.
[laughing]
Bing!
"Bing" indeed.
-Good luck, everybody. -[Astrid] You too.

I have to admit, chapter 12, "The Egg and I," was pretty amazing.
Ah. Oh, my Thor. Thank you.
Quite the satisfying wrap-up.
