Chopper had missed Heather as he was climbing up the beanstalk, thinking the city of gold was at the top. It was a hard climb, and he was terrified being up so, but that he kept on climbing and reviews to look down.

"Almost there," he said. "I can't wait to see the looks on all their faces when they find out that I discovered the gold first."

He soon climbed his way through the clouds and found himself in yet another set of ruins. He also noticed that this wasn't the top of the beanstalk as a kept ongoing.

"Look at those ruins," he said.

He made his way to the ruins, and the moment he stepped on it, he discovered that it was tilted slightly and he fell over.

"What's up with this place? The ground is all crooked," he said. "Guess I'll go this way."

He then walked down the crooked street and began keeping his eyes open for gold.

"Gold! Gold! Gold!" he sang.

He then heard the sound of a row coming from a giant beast and immediately stopped in his tracks.

"No, Toby, stay!" said a voice. "I said, stay!"

Chopper slowly looked behind him and saw the jaw of a giant dog, who then laid down in front of them and fell asleep. Upon seeing the giant dog Chopper immediately screamed, it was bigger than any dog you ever saw.

'What was I thinking?' he cried. 'I'm too little to do all this by myself; I should have gone back.'

"Interesting, you're the third one to make it this far today," said a voice.

Chopper looked up and saw that Cadman sitting on top of one of the ruins.

"Who you?" he asked.

"I can't believe that spider headed fool was so careless," said Cadman shaking his head. "You killed Gable, didn't you?"

'I guess he means that guy from earlier,' Chopper assumed.

"I suppose it's for the best," said Cadman. "The world is better off with one less imbecile, wouldn't you agree?"

Chopper was too frightened to speak and began backing away, he had a hard enough time fighting Gable, and he had already used up Rumble Ball. He kept his eyes firmly on Cadman and failed to notice where he was treading and tripped over something.

"What the… I tripped over—" He stopped when he saw the body of a Vanir on the ground, and it looked as if you'd been chewed by the giant dog next to him.

Immediately began to panic, fearing that he might be next.

"Control yourself, there's no need to be so filleted of Toby," said Cadman calmly. "He's merely a pet; he won't bite you."

"What about this guy? Looks like he's been chewed out and spit out?"

"I assure you, Toby is a very well trained dog. He would never bite anyone; it was I who attacked that man."

"Are you crazy?" Chopper stared. "Who are you? Why would you do something like this?"

"I am Cadman, now would you please be quiet," said Cadman, talking over Chopper. "Do you think that I'm not saddened by what has taken place here?"

Chopper stopped and stared at him and noticed that he was actually crying.

"I don't understand," he continued. "Why do men choose to fight when they must know how fragile their lives are."

"I'm not really sure," said Chopper honestly.

"Man was put here to find happiness yet time after time they throw themselves into battle only to lose their lives and the joy they struggled so hard to find. What a strange and tragic thing is man's nature; there is only one way to be redeemed. And that is what all men to die."

Chopper stared at him. "You don't really mean that, do you?"

"What have you come here for?" Cadman asked.

"Oh, I was just trying to find a city of gold."

"Greed only leads to ruin! You must be rescued."

"You want to rescue… me?" Chopper frowned.

Cadman then rose to his feet and drew his long sword. "Only losing your life will save you from all your earthly desires."

'He doesn't want to rescue me at all,' Chopper cried.

Meanwhile, Rachel was riding down the Milky Road in search in search of Wyper. While she was riding down the Milky Road, she noticed many warriors had been charred black as if they had been struck by lightning.

'But why?' she frowned. 'Why were so many of them charred black? It was almost as if all of them had been… had been hit by a bolt of lightning.'

Then coming into view was Kaapo and like the rest, he too was charred black.

"Kaapo!" she yelled and rushed over to him. "Kaapo!"

"Rachel," Kaapo groaned. "Is that… is that you?"

"Yes," she said.

"Go, get out of here, Rachel."

"Why? Tell me."

"Wyper, he's headed to All-Father's Shrine, but Enel isn't there. There is still time Rachel, stop Wyper."

"All right, I understand that," she said gently. "Save strength."

"No one can beat Enel. Rachel… hear me; he comes as lightning. An element that man has feared from the beginning and rightly so, he can't be conquered."

"Don't worry, I'll stop Wyper," she assured him. "You just wait here and save your energy. I'm going to leave Aisa's back with you."

She then placed Aisa's bag underneath his hand and then quickly took off, and moments later, he fell unconscious.

As Rachel road down the Milky Road, she couldn't shake Kaapo's condition out of her mind. 'Kaapo is so strong, and his will has been broken. If what he said is true, then Enel has eaten a Logia type Devil Fruit, the most powerful kind of all. I've got a stop Wyper before it's too late.'

With that, she speeded on as quickly she couldn't hunt for Wyper.

Toothless was still completely lost in the South Bird was still following him, much to his annoyance. Then things got worse when he reached a clearing and discovered that he was back at the altar.

"The altar?" Toothless groaned. "I've been going around in circles."

The south bird looked as if it was sniggering.

"Laugh it up," Toothless glared. "I just can't believe that you follow me all the way here, just to get some food. I mean it's not like you're incapable of getting food yourself, look at the size of you. And why does your head keep pointing—" Toothless claim to a stop when you remember that South Birds always point south. "How can I be so stupid? I had a perfect compass with me all this time."

The South Bird then supported him angrily.

Toothless then placed his bag down. "Why are you so upset? You're the one that decided following my bad sense of direction shouldn't matter."

The South Bird then turned and looked at the back, and its mouth began to water.

Toothless realised what it was about to do. "No, no, don't you think about it!"

The South Bird and immediately grabbed the bag and took off, but not before Toothless grabbed hold of it.

Toothless looked down. "At least we're heading the right direction."

Hiccup was still exploring the cave, he had yet been able to find a way out, and it felt as if it went on for miles.

"How far down does this tunnel go?" Hiccup groaned. "I'm still not sure how I ended up in here in the first place."

He then stopped when he saw that he finally reached a dead-end.

"Great, just perfect," Hiccup groaned. "I walked all this way, and now I discover that I walked the runway." Hiccup then walked into his hybrid form and then struck the wall with all his strength. "I can't believe this is happening!"

Then suddenly the entire cave began to shake and then started tilt.

"Not again!" Hiccup yelled as he fell.

Chopper meanwhile was running for his life trying to get away from Cadman. They ran through the ruins as quickly as he could without looking back. He eventually stopped running and hid behind some ruins hoping that he had lost Cadman.

"He didn't bother me, I'm okay," he said, breathing a sigh of relief. "I bet he's a Gothar too, but it looks like there's a lot of places to hide around here. If I stay long enough to try and escape, I can try and rejoin with the others. Have to make sure he doesn't see, he looked like a swordsman, so if I keep my distance, I should be okay."

Cadman was indeed tracking him down, but that was much easier thanks to his mantra. "He's run quite a long way, but running from salvation is futile. Attachment of his life is a result of evil desires." He then started to unsheath his sword. "So then…"

Chopper was still making his way through the ruins when he heard a noise. When he turned, he was immediately struck by some kind of slashing attack that went straight through the ruins.

"The path to peace leads to but one place…" said Cadman. "This is the Ordeal of Iron; the survival rate is 0."

Aisa had just heard Chopper's voice disappearing, and she began to cry.

"Another voice just disappeared," Aisa cried.

Astrid looked at her. "Aisa?"

"I can't just, sit here I've got to go find Rachel!"

"Oh no, you don't," said Astrid, but Aisa had already dived down into the sea began swimming to the shore. "Wait! Aisa!"

Astrid merely sighed and removed her shirt and then quickly dived in after her.

"Get back here!" Astrid yelled, grabbing her.

"Leave me alone; I've got to save Rachel!" Aisa screamed. "Let me go! I've got to get them out of their right now! Let go; this isn't any of your business!"

"Maybe it's not any of my business, but there's no way a setback and let a little kid get herself killed."

"I'm a warrior!"

"Yeah, I know, kid warrior!" Aisa just glared at her. "You can give me all those dirty looks all day long, but it's not going to work."

Hiccup was now making his way down to the tunnel trying to find the real exit when suddenly he was slammed by a massive surge of ocean cloud.

"Astrid, is everything okay?" Polo asked.

"We're fine," said Astrid as Fishlegs helped onto the waver. She then glared at Aisa, who was still trying to break free from her grasp. "All right, stop messing around and getting to the waver."

"You don't understand; you have to let me go so that I can save my friends!" Aisa screamed. "I have to! I have to help them!"

"She's a real handful, isn't she?" said Fishlegs looking at Astrid.

"Tell me about it," said Atherton glared at Aisa. "If you don't stop fighting, I'm going to slug you!" Aisa then began giving her puppy dog eyes. "Don't give me that look! Listen up; you don't want to end up like Ragnar or Snotlout, do you? Well, do you?"

Aisa didn't answer, which Astrid interpreted as a no.

"Now let's get you on the boat," said Fishlegs picking her up.

Then just as they got into the waver ahead of a huge snake shot out from the water. In fact, it was the same snake that Hiccup and the others had encountered.

"Oh no," said Astrid.

Hiccup had just been slammed by a massive surge of ocean cloud, though how it got into the cave, he had no idea. Fortunately, he was able to transform into his dragon form just in time and was now soaking wet.

"Wasn't expecting that," he said. "What's with this cave? First, there was an earthquake and then a flood of ocean clouds. If I had transformed in time, I would have drowned. But I think I'm coming down with a cold."

Hiccup then sneezed accidentally firing off a plasma blast inside the cave.

Unbeknownst to him he wasn't inside the cave but was in fact inside the same giant snake that was in front of Astrid and the others. He was in fact in its stomach, and the moment his plans about last made contact, the snake cried out in pain.

Everyone immediately assumed that he was about to attack them and started to panic.

"Why is that thing going crazy?" Astrid yelled.

The answer was simple; it was Hiccup who couldn't stop sneezing and firing plasma blast in every direction.

"Good thing… there's… no one… around," said Hiccup between sneezes.

The snake was heading straight towards Astrid and the others, leaving Fishlegs no choice but activate the waver and head towards the forest.

"Fishlegs, Astrid, no!" Polo yelled. "That way leads to the forest!"

"Astrid!" Arial screamed.

They could only watch as the snake began to follow them into the forest.

"What do we do? They've gone into the forest?" Arial asked horrified.

A vanir and a divine warrior were doing battle within the forest, both of them were utterly worn out.

"Missed," said the vanir.

"Ha, you're lucky!" said the divine warrior as they landed on the ground.

They were about to engage once again when suddenly they heard a large rambling, and it was getting closer towards them.

"What's that?" said the divine warrior.

Then riding on top of the Milky Road were Astrid and the others.

"Who's that?" said the vanir.

"I don't know," said the divine warrior. "Something's coming!"

The tree then suddenly snapped as the giant snake launched out towards them.

"Don't you have anything to do than chase us around!" Astrid yelled at the snake.

"Astrid, let's not make him any we're more than he already is," Fishlegs advised.

"Lord of the Sky!" the divine warrior yelled.

The vanir then saw Aisa around Astrid's waist. "No way, Aisa?"

The snake then slammed into them, sending them flying to the ground and knocking them unconscious.

Fishlegs finally came to a stop when it looked as if they had lost the snake.

"We're inside the forest," Fishlegs quivered.

Flying above the forest was Toothless, holding on to the South Bird with everything he had.

"I wonder if this how Hiccup feels when he flies around?" Toothless pondered. "There again he can fly under his own power; I mean why are hanging on tight to my bag and hoping that this giant South Bird doesn't let go."

Toothless then heard movement below him, a lot of movement. Then suddenly shooting out of the forest with the giant snake and it nearly swallowed them if the South Bird hadn't flown up sharply.

"Higher! Fly higher!" Toothless yelled. "The last thing I want to be is eaten by a giant snake food!"

He looked down and saw the snake was still following them.

"It still following us!" Toothless yelled. "Something really must have pissed him off!"

The South Bird and immediately realised that the snake could be after the food in the bag he was holding. If he wanted to live, and the simplest solution would be to drop the bag along with Toothless, and that is what exactly what he did.

Toothless found himself screaming as he was now in freefall, heading towards the ground.

Wyper meanwhile had finally reached the beanstalk and was riding towards the top.

"To make it to All-Father's Shrine I have to climb to the top of Giant Jack," he said. "And if Enel is there, it's time I brought an end to this terrible history once and for all."

Cadman sensed he shot through the clouds and immediately drew his sword and then unleashed the same slashing attack used on Chopper. Wyper saw this and quickly jumped back, avoiding the attack and landed within the ruins.

"Wyper, if you climb and provide any further you'll reach All-Father's shrine," said Cadman as he sheathed his sword. "What makes you think you have permission to pass?"

Wyper glared at him. "Damn you!"

"It doesn't matter," said a voice. "Heading towards that shrine is no longer useful."

They all turned and saw standing on the ruins was Gabriel, with his arms folded, and flying overhead was Swift.

"Gabriel?" Wyper stared. "What business do you have here? Still can't let go of your old position?"

"No, but I still have responsibilities I have yet to fulfil," said Gabriel as Cadman sat next to Toby. "I thought you might be interested in knowing that I have recently come from All-Father Shrine. It's tragic; the entire thing has been utterly destroyed. Naturally, Enel was nowhere to be found; perhaps it means he no longer has any need for it."

Gabriel remembered what Enel had set on the Going Tiger about the hard label is follows and that the island was no longer useful. It was apparent that he no longer had any more use for the island, which begged the question of what was he after in the first place.

Gabriel then immediately turn to Cadman. "I demand to know Cadman! What is it that you and your master seek to do?"

"Hold on," said Wyper. "You're saying that Enel is no longer up there?"

Then suddenly Toothless fell from the sky and crashed into the rubble on top of the ruins to Wyper. Thankfully he was able to survive thanks to his scales if he had been human that fall would have killed him instantly.

"One of Dragon's friends," Wyper noted.

"That really hurt," Toothless groaned.

"It's you?" Gabriel stared.

"Where am I?" said Toothless as he began taking in his surroundings taking note of the ruins and everyone around them. "More ruins… all these guys seem pretty tough, but no matter. Hey, hand over the gold!"

"Look at what we have here if it is another greedy infidel seeking his salvation," said Cadman.

"Enough!" Wyper roared. "Get out of my way, or I'll destroy every one of you!"

"The time has come, Cadman," said Gabriel. "Tell me where Enel and the divine squad are!"

All four of them prepare to do battle.

Hiccup was still trapped inside the giant snake and sneezing plasma blasts every which way. Soon enough, the snake shot out from the clouds and landed within the ruins.

"I'm sure that you each feel as if what you have to say is important, but there's only one way for your voice to be heard," said Cadman as he drew his sword. "You must survival find salvation."
