Horrorcow is sent back to shore for help and things go from bad to worse as they are pulled under by a mysterious creature. Meanwhile, a confrontation with Snotlout and Dogsbreath leaves Fishlegs without flotation armbands as Camicazi, their dragons, and Hiccup struggle to keep both themselves and Fishlegs afloat as they drift farther from land. Both are enraged but neither of them realize this is all a part of Madguts' much darker overall plan. Stoick and Big-Boobied Bertha agree that, whichever one of them wins, they will make Madguts row across the ocean in a bathtub with his underpants on his head.ĭuring the first few minutes of the competition, Madguts and his assistant, Gumboil trick Big-Boobied Bertha and Stoick into returning to shore, thereby disqualifying them and setting a new record for the fastest time back.
With the sounding of the horn, Hiccup and his friends rush into the water, not expecting to last long. Old Wrinkly serves as a judge and before setting Hiccup off, he sets an alarm on the "ticking thing" attached to Hiccup's wrist and informs him he MUST return within 3 months, 5 days, and 6 hours. Victory will be awarded to the last Viking to come ashore who can swear an oath that he/she received no aid "from boat or float," and as a prize they will be allowed to make any request of the losing chiefs. The book begins with the normally solitary, Madguts the Murderous (head of the Murderous tribe), extending an invitation to the Hooligans and Bog-Burgulars to compete in an Intertribal Friendly Swimming Race. Fortunately, Hiccup is able to find allies in even the darkest of places, and is able to win over the enslaved Wanderer population. They must escape from Hysterics and a sea dragon and return home within three months, five days, and six hours, or they will have no homes to return to. When the Intertribal Friendly Swimming Race goes terribly wrong, Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Camicazi find themselves bound for America, the land-that-does-not-exist.
