Toothless pulls his wing off me and I stand up. "Ugh! Is everyone all right?" I ask turning around to face them. "Define “all right”."

"Well, we're alive aren't we?"

"Good point."

"Hiccup!" I freeze at the sound of Astrid's panicked voice. I turn and see her crouched beside Nightwing who's wings are outstretched, covered in large pieces of ice, protecting someone. I realize that Ivy isn't in her saddle and rush forward. Nightwing grumbles and moves her wings, letting the ice fall off, revealing Ivy's unconscious form.

"Ivy? Ivy!" I call to her but she's out cold and I glance to the large pieces of ice. If Nightwing hadn't reacted in time, Ivy would have been crushed. I sigh, setting my shield down before pulling the raven haired Viking into my arms.

I turn to Nightwing as she shakes out her wings and limbs. "Feeling up to carrying Ivy?" I ask her and she snorts like she's saying: "do you really need to ask?" I give her a small smile and set Ivy onto the Night Fury's back. Toothless coos softly and nudges Ivy with his muzzle as if to try and wake her up, but she doesn't even twitch.

"Why would Ryker seal himself off from the key?" Snotlout asks as Hookfang bursts into flame to light up the dark cave. "He wasn't sealing himself out. He was sealing us in," Astrid tells him as she turns away from her friend.

"Astrid's right. Ryker figures we'll fight the Snow Wraith for him, and then he'll come in and deal with whoever survives," I tell them, glancing back at the cave-in. "Awesome. But we're not gonna do that, right?"

"The plan hasn't changed. We grab the Snow Wraith, and get it out of here, away from Ryker." I get onto Toothless and Snotlout rolls his eyes. "Oh, is that all we have to do? So easy."

Toothless flies forward and the other Dragon Riders follow. We reach the end of the tunnel and land when it opens up into a much larger cavern. "I choose to think positive. We can do this," Tuff says as we dismount. "Sure. We beat the Snow Wraith before. Sort of."

"And it won't have a blizzard to hide in."

"And we outnumber him five to one."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Astrid says and we look forward to see multiple Snow Wraiths sound asleep. "Well, at least they're still asleep, and they won't wake…" One of them lifts their head up, growling softly.

Ruff grabs her brother by the chin and glares at him. "You are the worst positive thinker ever."

"That's a very positive thing to say." I hear groaning and look over to see Ivy pushing herself up. "Ivy!" Astrid whispers softly and rushes over to capture the Berserker in a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"Yeah. I have a massive headache, but other than that. Where are we?"

"Shh," I whisper and point toward the slightly awake Snow Wraith. Her eyes widen and she slides off Nightwing's back. "If we don't move, maybe it won't notice us," Tuff states loudly and the dragon growls loudly turning to look at us. "Maybe if you didn't move, and kept your mouth shut."

"What do we do?" Astrid asks, supporting Ivy as she doesn't look so good. "Maybe we can put him back to sleep," I say after a moment of thought. I rush over to Tuff and yank out the arrow in his helmet. "Hey!"

I rush toward the Snow wraith, pressing the button that turns my shield into a crossbow and shoot the arrow towards the dragon. It takes flight and the arrow embeds itself into the cave wall. "Okay, so that didn't work." The dragon roars loudly, waking its friends up. Toothless rushes to my side, growling and I place my hand on his head.
