To deal with the riders' growing resistance, Viggo captures the Submaripper, an extremely powerful and territorial Tidal-class Dragon, to create man-eating whirlpools to block all trade routes and leave Berk to wither away in starvation. Hiccup develops a diving bell to dive underwater and Changewing Acid to dissolve the chains, but the Hunters' interruption wakes the sleeping Submaripper.
Hiccup still manages to free the Submaripper, and it rescues him just as the bell shatters, leaving Ryker to take a desperate Viggo away just as the other riders close in. Though Hiccup feels guilty for driving Viggo to make such a move, Stoick expresses confidence that he and the others will always be able to stop him.
It is now the time of Midnight Sun – straight daylight for two weeks – and the riders and people of Berk have begun to show random and hilarious symptoms of sleep deprivation, including Astrid being deliriously happy, Heather lacking coordination, Fishlegs being paranoid, Snotlout random mood swings, and the twins hallucinating.
Hiccup wants to take the chance to enact revenge on Viggo for his underhanded attack on Berk without a plan, but is caught up investigating and surviving the aggression of a small pack of new dragons and their leader that have driven the Hunters from their observation post. Thanks to Toothless, Hiccup develops a plan to divide and trap the newly christened 'Shadow Wings' one by one, reminding him of the importance of teamwork and strategy, and returns to Dragon's Edge to join the riders in a well-deserved nap in the Edge's basement levels.
