Ruffnut's POV:
--------------------

We all woke up and we're ready to go. The wind was still really strong. In fact It looked stronger than yesterday. Well, everyone was awake except Hiccup and Astrid.

"They fell asleep like that?" Snotlout laughed.

"I wonder why?" Tuff giggled. I grabbed a stick in the corner of the room and poked her with it. Still nothing. I poked her again.

"Mm? Ahhhh!" She screamed and rolled over to fall down a small step thing. "Ouch." She said rubbing her head and sitting up.

"What's going on?" Hiccup sat up.

"I don't know? Why don't you tell us." Tuff laughed.

"You are so dirty minded." I said waking his head.

"Hehe." He continued.

"Typical. Come on let's go." Hiccup groaned, forcing himself to stand up.

"A little help here. Dead girl on the floor.....anybody?!" Astrid yelled holding her hand in the air, waiting for someone to help her up. Hiccup grabbed it and got her to her feet.

"Stronger wind today." Fishlegs observed.

"Nah, it's a beautiful summer day and there no wind at all." Snotlout complained sarcastically.

"Let's just keep flying until we find where it's coming from." Hiccup ordered, getting on Toothless.

Astrid's POV:

We began flying until it got so strong we couldn't even move anymore.

"Hiccup we have to land we are just going backwards now." Fishlegs yelled through the wind.

"Alright. I think I see another cave. Come on gang." He said as Toothless shot down and we followed. We entered the shelter of the cave from the snow and wind.

"Hello cave number two." Tuff said hugging one of the walls. I will never understand. I heard a noise coming from one of the tunnels.

"Well, I guess we are stuck here for another...." Snotlout began to complain but I cut him off.

"Wait, shhhh. Did you hear that?" I said trying to keep them quiet.

"Grrrr." I heard from the tunnel on the right. Suddenly a huge gust of wind came through the tunnel. Getting stronger every second.

"Get to the sides!" I yelled and everyone ran to the sides avoiding as much wind as possible. Hiccup held me against the wall with his arm over me. The wind got stronger and stronger.

"My mace!" Tuff yelled as it shot out of the cave in the wind. Suddenly the wind stopped. I slowly turned my head and saw a huge creature appear. It's huge blue eyes stared at us with anger and it growled. The huge white creature had four tail wings and horns like a yak. It looked a bit like a monstrous nightmare but it had these huge flaps on its neck. It had spikes like ice that traveled down its back. It's broad jaw faced us as it breathed heavily. It looks over to me and Hiccup. I saw its mouth open to reveal huge teeth. It breathed heavily in.

"ASTRID!" Hiccup screamed, pushing me to the floor as he covered me. The giant dragons scales around its chest shone a bright white and then a hurricane of wind shot at the wall above us, hitting us with a crash.

"HICCUP! ASTRID!" I heard faintly from the gang on the other side behind the dragon. The dragon stopped and looked at the rest of the gang. Suddenly an army of the same species emerged from the tunnels.
