I am Queen Cliffy, how do you do? Welcome to this crazy chapter! I hope I don't leave you hanging too much here, but yeah. Shout-outs next chapter. :) ENJOY! :D

The Skrill was gaining on Toothless and me quickly; how did that dragon get so blazing fast!? Toothless, just before smacking into the ocean, reeled up and soared into the sky.

I turned around just in time to shout, "TOOTHLESS, BARREL ROLL!" before the Skrill blasted us into oblivion with a strike of lightning. Toothless spun out of the way just before the lightning hit us. Unfortunately, spinning out of the way resulted in him also spinning out of control. Something was wrong with his tail fin. I couldn't control it.

Just before we crash, Toothless managed to get us to the ice stack, so we tumbled on that instead of slamming into the ocean. Still, although the snow and ice somewhat brokes our fall, it still hurt something awful.

I got to my feet, Toothless moving to stand beside me. I looked back at his tail fin and cringed. The Skrill had gotten it with its lightning. What used to be a read prosthetic was now a torn and tattered, useless piece of singed cloth.

To make matters worse, the Skrill was coming straight at us.

Toothless and I ran in different directions, missing the Skrill's next bout of lightning. It opened its mouth for the fatal blow, when Astrid and Snotlout flew in from behind it, their dragons blasting fire straight at it.

The Skrill, its attention now on Astrid and Snotlout, roared in enraged anger and fury. It fired more lightning at the duo, and they dodged. Stormfly spun in order to miss it, which she did with flying colors. But that lead to Astrid being thrown from the saddle.

"ASTRID!" I shouted.

"I got her!" Snotlout shouted back to me, steering Hookfang towards the falling, screaming girl. Hookfang grabbed her in his claws, and she stopped screaming instantly...until she saw what direction Hookfang was going in.

"SNOTLOUT!" she screamed.

Snotlout looked in front of him...just in time for them to ram into the top of the iceberg. Hookfang took most of the hit, resulting in him getting knocked unconscious.

"AAH!" Snotlout screamed. "MAYDAY, MAYDAY! WE'RE GOING DOWN!"

Toothless ran over and caught them both on his back just before they hit the ground. They dismounted instantly, looking back and standing beside me as the Skrill comes back to finish the job it started.

Just before it destroyed us all with its lightning breath, Stormfly rammed into the dragon.

"THATTA GIRL, STORMFLY!" Astrid encouraged her dragon. "YOU GOT THIS, GIRL!"

The Nadderhead roared once again at the Skrill, and then rammed into it once more. The Skrill roared, letting loose more and more lightning in random directions at random bouts. Astrid, Toothless, Snotlout and I dodged most of it.

And I said "most of it" for an important reason.

I froze as something shot through my body. The pain was excruciating; I couldn't even move, it was so bad. I tried to scream, but my voice wasn't working, either. The violent, unbearable pain was blurring my vision until eventually, when I opened my eyes, all I saw was a blurry, white landscape of nothingness.

My hearing was fading along with my vision; everything I heard was muffled and distant sounding, as if the speaker was talking through honey, or some other kind of thick substance.

I faintly heard Astrid's strangled, terrified cry of "HICCUP!" just as the pain finally subsided, just barely enough for me to think straight. It left me standing there, gasping for breath as I tried to register what had just happened. I was still standing, but I knew it wouldn't be for much longer. It was as if the energy had been sucked right out of me in one painful, ten second long experience.

And so I stood there, gasping for breath, trying to drag oxygen back into my lungs, my mind scrambled like a jigsaw puzzle as I tried to register the pain. I double blinked, my eyelids flickering more often than not. Then, all at once, my eyes rolled up in my head, and I crumpled to the ground, my consciousness leaving me.
