Dragons: Race to the Edge

This changes everything.

- What the... -

- Good... -

...morning, Dragon's Edge!

-It's Tuff... -And Ruff...

-And Chicken... -

-In the mornings. -In the mornings.

All right, folks.

Now, it's time for your weather forecast.

-Today will be freezing cold. -

-Tomorrow will be, well, freezing cold! -

Leave it to you muttonheads to use the Thunder Ear backwards.

Or are we using it right-wards?

-To inform the masses. -Ugh!

Plus, the earwax on this thing keeps our lips from chapping.

- Mmm. -You know, we really should market this.

Okay, let's check the old mailbag

-and see what Terrible Terror mails... -

...came in last night.

Ah! Here's one for Snotlout, "I miss your snuggles, too.

Signed, Mommy."

Hey, that's private!

Whoa! This one's addressed to us.

"Dear Ruff and Tuff, your cousin Gruffnut is on his way to visit you today."

Wait, Gruffnut? Gruffnut's coming here?

-Today? -

Oh, no, look at me. I am a mess.

All right, show's over.

-I gotta go get ready. -

- - Gruffnut's coming.

Gruffnut's coming. Gruffnut's coming. Gruffnut's coming. Gruffnut's coming.

Gruffnut's gonna be here any second. The place needs to look nice.

-You wanna help, just a little? -No.

Okay. I'm new here. Who is Gruffnut?

He's their cousin. We've never met him but Tuffnut worships the guy.

No, I don't.

Even if he is a totally awesome world traveler

and a fearless adventurer.

Yeah, you say traveler, I say a drifter

who just wanders into our lives every few years.

Hiccup, what do you guys think about me taking over the reins around here?

You know, just while Gruff is around?

Don't you remember what happened last time you were in charge?

I'm sorry everything's on fire!

To be fair, I was only in co-charge of the island,

so I think we all know whose fault all that really was.

Did this island just get a hundred percent more amazing, or is it just me?

Gruffnut.

Ah, my hero-ic cousin.

How are you, friend?

Gruffnut, these are the Dragon Riders.

Dragon Riders, this is the Gruffnut.

Hello, everyone, and the always fabulous Ruffnut.

Yeah. Cousin Gruffnut.

No one mentioned the family resemblance.

-I don't see it at all. -Nope. Me neither.

So, cuz, what've you been up to?

Ah, the usual.

You know, winning my weight in gold. That sort of thing.

How does one win their weight in gold, exactly?

Uh... Spear-throwing competition, of course.

-Duh. -Whoa, that's a lot of gold.

Could I see it? Maybe hold it. Caress it.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't have it anymore.

Oh. What a surprise.

Yep. Gave it all away to the poor.

Your generosity is only exceeded by your adventurosity.

I have an idea, "cuz."

Why not show everyone your awesome spear-throwing skills

that won you all that gold that you conveniently don't have anymore?

I'd be happy to put on a little exhibition,

except that my arm is still injured from that shipwreck, that darn shipwreck.

What shipwreck?

I didn't mention the saving of the sinking shipload of orphans?

Huh, no. Buried the lead I guess, it's 'cause you're so humble.

The most.

Well, enough about me. Tuff, what have you been doing

while I was out winning fortunes, saving orphans, and defeating a kraken?

Well, uh...

-I have a chicken. -

-Oh. -Uh.

-Um... -Hey, Tuffnut,

why don't you show Gruffnut around the base...

Uh, around your base.

Your base? Whoa.

Well, it's not really "my" base.

I mean, I just designed it, built it, and run it.

Come on, follow me.

-I'll give you the grand tour. -

- -Ruffnut,

-escort this chicken to its quarters. -

The dock is down there and over there are the stables.

Oh, and that's where you keep the dragons.

Well, I bet that's well guarded.

Not really. Who's gonna steal a dragon?

I mean, unless you can fly one, you're not getting very far.

Right. Of course. I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah, that's why they put me in charge.

I think of things.

I designed the arena roof to be totally detractable.

Re-tractable.

That too. It's retractable and detractable.

See? You just use this lever.

- -

And this is where I do all of my inventiationating.

Is that a bed over there?

Yeah. I let Hiccup sleep in here.

-You know, to guard my inventions? -

Like this one.

With this, I can literally fly like a dragon!

-A little demonstration can't hurt. -Tuffnut, no.

- -

This invention is my sword of fire!

That sounds magnificent. How does it work?

I'll show you. It just...

-Sometimes, it needs a little shake. -

No, no, no, no, no, no!

I've been meaning to do that, actually.

Because I needed better ventilation in here.

-Hey! Now check this out-- -

Yeah, yeah, actually, would you mind if I talked to my boss here for a second?

Sure. And, Tuff, don't be too hard on him.

Accidents happen.

It's going great. Am I right?

Uh, no.

Look, I'm sorry Tuff, I was trying to help you out, but this is not working.

What do you mean? Sure it is.

- -

- -Uh...

You have to tell Gruffnut the truth.

Tell Gruffnut the truth about what?

Come on, no secrets.

There's holes in the walls.

Okay, fine. I don't actually run the base.

Tuff, no need to embellish. Everywhere I go,

I hear about your heroic exploits, fighting Dragon Hunters, saving islands.

You don't need to lie to impress me, Tuffnut, because you already have.

I wanna say, for the record, that I am not crying.

I just have a bug in each one of my eyes, in the same place,

and it's irritating each of them equally.

Hey, you know what would be awesome?

If the two of you heroes took me for a ride on that dragon of yours.

What? No. Sorry, pal.

Look, it's sort of a two-person setup.

I don't think all three of us--

So, what do you think?

Incredible!

And I gotta say, flying doesn't seem that hard.

Basically, you just lean one way or the other.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Oh, sure, yeah. Not that hard at all.

Anybody can do this.

- No. Oh, dear. Oh! -

Whoo! Yeah!

Oh, my! Oh, my!

Take it easy, Ruff.

What do you mean "take it easy"?

An adventurer like cousin Gruffnut, come on, this is tame!

- -

-Oh! Whoa-oh! -

Ah! No, no, no, no...

Oh, no!

- -

- -

- -

Hey, Tuff and Ruff. Thanks for the dragon.

What? Huh?

Ha-ha.

- -

What was that? Did you just try to steal our dragon?

Don't be ridiculous.

You said, "Thanks for the dragon," and then, took off.

Yeah, because I was making a joke.

Yeah, Ruff, can't you tell when it's a joke?

Gruff, speaking of jokes, we're always looking

for fresh material on our morning show.

That sounds magnificent.

Huh. Let's keep an eye on Cousin Gruffnut.

Hiccup, I'm telling you. I saw him go in there, alone.

You know? By himself.

Excuse me?

- - Uh...

- -Uh... Whoa!

-Whoa! Okay. -Toothless. Easy, bud.

-It's okay. -Got you!

You sure did. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help

taking a closer look at this magnificent tail device.

-What? -Amazing workmanship, Hiccup.

You know, I'm a bit of an inventor myself.

-Oh, yeah, right. -

-There you are, Gruff. -

Come on, I've got the boars greased and the pit primed.
