Now that they had a moment to breathe, the twins and Chopper immediately began looking around for Snotlout, who placed his mask back on.

"Hey, Snotlout!" Ruffnut yelled.

"Are you there?" Tuffnut asked.

"Where did you run off to?" Chopper asked. "Come back!"

"Hey, Snotlout!" Tuffnut yelled, checking the crow's nest. "I thought he would be in here for sure."

"Were you hiding?" Ruffnut asked, checking the women's bedroom.

"You in there?" Tuffnut asked, checking the men's quarters.

Ragnar looked at Snotlout. "They're calling you."

"No, I can't," he said. "It's too soon."

"Stop playing hide and seek!" the twins yelled.

Heather couldn't help but chuckle.

"I don't suppose you know where Snotlout is at Masked Wrestler?" Tuffnut asked.

"You are his friend, right?" Ruffnut asked.

"No need to fear," said Snotlout, quickly getting to his feet. "He took a different boat and went on ahead by himself."

"But why?" Chopper asked.

"That is a make any sense; the Tiger is his ship," said Ruffnut.

"Still can't believe they haven't figured out yet," said Toothless.

"Right now, I'm a little bit more concerned about how the ship got here," said Hiccup.

"He's right, I've checked everywhere, and it looks like we're the only ones on the ship," said Astrid.

"That is pretty strange," Ragnar admitted.

"But there's no way the Tigers sailed herself here, did it?" said Fishlegs.

"Of course not; someone was calling us," said Toothless. "The whole crew heard it."

"And you don't know who it was?" Coco asked.

"No, just a voice beckoning us to the sea," said Heather.

"I know it sounds crazy, but maybe it was the Tiger calling out to us," said Hiccup.

"You think so?" Chopper stared.

"As ridiculous as it may sound, I was thinking the same thing," Astrid admitted. "But there's no way, right? I mean, it is impossible."

No one said a word after it wasn't like they had encountered the impossible before. Eret remembered discussing the ship's spirit with Snotlout began to wonder whether it was the cause of all of this.

"Hey, there's a ship coming!" Tuffnut pointed.

"What? Who is it?" Snotlout panicked.

Everyone turned and saw sailing towards them was a large ship that belonged to the Galley Law, and standing on the bow was Iceberg. With him were the other shipwrights, and upon seeing the Dragon Riders, they immediately cheered.

"I can see the Dragon Riders!"

"They're alive! They made it; I just knew it!"

"It's Galley Law company ship," said Ragnar.

"I thought they were done for when they went out during aqua laguna."

"Forget about aqua laguna; they survived Enies Lobby!"

"Ice for brains, huh?" Eret smiled.

"Heather Owson survived," Iceberg noted and smiled. "They pulled it off after all. They took on the World Government and won. They lost it all, and then they brought it all back."

However, the Going Tiger began to creak, and seconds later, it's split in half, much to everyone's shock. Everyone that was standing in front of the ship was immediately thrown off their feet.

"Tiger," said Snotlout horrified.

The shipwrights were completely surprised.

"They're a ship; it's breaking!"

"Hey, why is it falling apart all of a sudden?" Ruffnut asked.

"There's nothing sudden about it; we all knew this was inevitable," said Ragnar, and everyone turned towards him. "They told us, didn't right? Before we left, they said that Tiger was unfit to sail."

Hiccup nodded. "I know, but…"

"What happened to you Tiger," said Fishlegs shocked.

Hiccup picked himself up and turned to look at Iceberg. "Iceberg, help! Tiger is in trouble, can't you do something? You got here in time, all shipwrights, aren't you? I'm begging you, don't let her die now. Tiger is more than just a ship; she is a member of our crew. If it wasn't for her, we all would have died back there. So please tell me that there's something you can do."

Iceberg looked at him solemnly. "She fought hard for you, but it's time to let her rest." He then closed his eyes. "Besides already done everything that I can."

Just after the Dragon Riders had left on Rocketman, Iceberg was leaving scrap island when he heard the sound of a mallet.

"What's that noise?" he said and began looking around for its source. "If someone on Scrap Island?"

He went to investigate, but the only thing he discovered was the Going Tiger turned on its side.

"Wait a second, this is the Dragon Riders ship," he said, stunned. He then began to examine the extent of the damage on the keel; it was a miracle that the ship hadn't broken apart until now. "Aqua laguna really did a number on it; it's a wreck." He then looked closely at the keel and saw that these battle wounds were much older. "This is from long before that."

"I want to sail," said a voice.

Iceberg's eyes widened. "What was that voice?"

As strange as it was, it was as if the voice came from the ship.

"I want to sail, one last time," said the voice again.

Iceberg then began setting to work to restore the ship, though he had no idea why. Regardless he did the best he could to make her seaworthy again, fixing the broken mast, the damaged floorboards and even setting her upright.

"What am I doing?" he asked himself once he was finished. "There's no hope for this ship."

"Mr Iceberg!" a voice yelled.

Iceberg turned and saw his shipwrights yelling at him on the main island.

"You've got a get out of there! Another tidal wave is about to hit!"

Iceberg then grabbed his tools began making his way to the stairs.

"Thank you," said a voice.

Iceberg stopped and looked back at the Going Tiger watched as the tidal wave slammed into it and carried it out to sea.

After witnessing this, he made his way back to his men and told them to ready a ship.

"Ready a ship? The weather is still too rough out there."

"Then I'll go along," he said.

"Are you kidding?"

"No, no, we'll go with you."

Back in the present, Iceberg looked down at the Dragon Riders.

"This is a miracle," he said. "There is no other word for it. The miracle of the ship that has gone beyond its limits to see you one last time. As you know, I have been a shipwright for many years, but I have never seen a ship as incredible as this one. It has lived a wonderful life."

Hiccup couldn't help but agree and knew right there in there what he had to do. "I understand."

Every one of the Dragon Riders knew what he was about to do, and they can help but feel a tad sad to say goodbye to a dear friend.

The Dragon Riders were now standing in on some longboats raised to say goodbye to the Going Tiger one last time.

"Well, guys… you ready?" Hiccup asked.

"Yeah," said Ragnar and everyone else nodded.

Hiccup pulled out a burning torch and rode his boat closer to the Going Tiger.

"Tiger, I know that the floor of the sea is a dark and lonely place, but don't worry, we are here to see you off," he said and then set fire to the ship. "I'm sure if Snotlout could, he would do this."

"Is that true?" Toothless asked Snotlout.

"We must say our farewells someday, as much as we hate to admit it," said Snotlout. "As such, we must hold back tears. Hiccup knows what needs to be done."

Hiccup allowed the gentle waves to push and closer back to the others as all of them watched as the Going Tiger was set ablaze.

"Thank you for carrying us for so long and so far, old friend," said Hiccup.

Then suddenly began to snow directly above them.

"Snow?" Fishlegs blinked.

As they watched the ship burn, all of them began remembering happy memories they had with the Going Tiger. Thinking back on those memories, many of the Dragon Riders cry like Fishlegs and Chopper. Snotlout did his best to hold back his tears as well, but his mask slowly was becoming damp.

There was certainly no denying that they had many adventures on this old ship, travelling across the East Blue, entering the Grand Line and even sailing through the sky. There was no way they would forget their very first ship, and they would always consider her as one of their own.

The mast then toppled over, and they watched as their flag flew away before being burnt into nothing.

"I'm sorry," said a voice, and all of them knew that this was the voice of the Tiger crying out to them. "I wanted to carry everyone just a little bit further. I had so much fun; I wish that our adventures would never end."

"Tiger!" Chopper cried.

This time it wasn't just the Dragon Riders who heard her voice, but the other shipwrights could hear it as well.

"Who is that?"

"But I'm sorry that I—"

"You have nothing to apologise for, Tiger," said Hiccup. "If anyone should apologise, it's us. It was our job to look after you, but we failed miserably. I did everything I could to try and fix you, but it just wasn't enough. If anyone is sorry, it should be us."

"I don't mind," said Tiger. "I was happy. I know that you always treated me with love, thank you. Even if the time we spent together was short, I'm glad that I could spend it with you."

Hiccup closed his eyes as the Going Tiger was consumed by the flames. "You've done more than anyone could have asked you; now take a good long rest."
