Astrid had returned to Berk and they began to explain everything that had happened on Raydonia. Stoick listen to every word in silence and when she finished his expression was completely emotionless.
"We have to rescue, Hiccup," said Stoick.
"And how are we gonna do that?" Mildew asked. "He could be anywhere and I'm betting he's going to be heavily guarded."
"If only there was some way we could track him," said Gobber.
"There is," said Ragnar as he took a step forward.
Everyone turned to stare at him as he began to operate the control panel.
"What do you mean?" Astrid frowned.
"When Hiccup designed that leg of his he managed to install a tracking device in it," said Ragnar. "Just in case he ever got captured he told a few people including me and Rex and gave us the code in order to activate it."
"But won't the First Order be able to track it as well and then destroyed?" Fishlegs asked.
"That's a clever thing about the tracking device it's untraceable," said Ragnar.
"The general did devise clever devices during the Clone Wars that gave us the advantage," said Rex. "The tracking device he created allowed us to track enemy movements without them knowing and it's how we managed to get useful Intel."
"So he went in there knowing that it was a trap and knew that you could track him," said Heather looking at Ragnar.
"I imagine that Hiccup had a strong feeling that Maul wouldn't kill him right away," said Ragnar. "He would have wanted Hiccup to suffer like he had suffered and then kill him."
"So what you're saying is that Hiccup is safe as long as Maul doesn't get bored," said Snotlout crossing his arms.
"Pretty much," said Ragnar. "Which is why we need a hurry."
Ragnar that implemented the last key into the control panel and then the galactic map appeared. There was a small blip on the map and began to zoom in towards that system.
However, when Ragnar recognised the system his eyes widened. "Not there."
"Ragnar, what's wrong?" Astrid asked.
"Hiccup is in much more danger than I ever imagined," said Ragnar. "They're taking him to Mustafar."
"And what is Mustafar?" Stoick asked.
"Mustafar is a mining colony and its entire world is covered with volcanoes and running lava," said Rex.
"It's also where Jedi go to die," said Ragnar. "The Galactic Empire used it during their reign as a place to send Jedi to be executed."
Astrid's eyes widened in horror. "Then we have to save him."
"Easier said than done," said Stoick. "I report say that the planet is heavily guarded almost as much as Dromund Kaas."
"Why is it so heavily protected?" Snotlout frowned.
"For one it has massive amount of natural resources," said Rex. "And also they want to prevent Jedi from escaping."
"We need to think of a way to sneak onto the ship where they have Hiccup captured," said Astrid.
"We do have a First Order transporter," said Gobber.
"That will allow us to get closer to the fleet," said Astrid. "But Hiccup is surrounded by tons of Star Destroy an inside one of them."
"How do we know that is not on the planet?" Fishlegs asked.
"Because the bacon is located outside the planet's atmosphere," said Rex and he fiddled the control panel and several Star Destroyers appeared. "The problem is the tracker only gives us a general idea where here's, not a precise."
"I'll know when we get close enough," said Ragnar.
"Question is how do we get close?" said Heather frowning.
"We'll need a distraction to cover our entry," said Astrid.
Ragnar smiled. "Element of surprise?"
Astrid blushed slightly. "Hiccup's taught me a few tactics, including the element of surprise."
"Well, if it's a distraction we need I think we've got to her perfect for the job," said Heather and turned to look to the twins.
"Yeah, we can blow anything up, tight sis," said Tuffnut.
"Yeah, we'll take down those Star Destroyers easily," said Ruffnut.
"Guys, Hiccup is on one of those star Destroyers and we kind of need alive," said Astrid.
"Oh," said Tuffnut looking disappointed.
"Right," said Ruffnut equally as disappointed.
The twins then looked at the holographic image of a Star Destroyer.
"Engine rooms here," said Ruffnut.
"All the powers of the ship," said Tuffnut.
"It wouldn't get inside the docking bay, we can rig something," said Ruffnut.
"Like a massive EMP," said Tuffnut.
"That's good, but the transport is too big to fit into the docking bay," said Heather.
"Then we need something small enough to get into that hangar bay," said Astrid. "A TIE Fighter would work perfectly."
"I think I can scrounge something up," said Gobber.
"Then it sounds as if we have a plan," said Stoick. "I'll have the fleet standing by just in case there is a complication. Major your team will accompany Ragnar and Heather."
"We'll do, sir," said Astrid saluting.
One by one they began to exit the command centre and Astrid was about to exit through the door.
"Oh, and Major," said Stoick. Astrid turned around and looked at the old general, whose face was now covered in worry. "Bring my son back."
"Don't worry, sir," Astrid assured. "We'll bring him back safe and sound, you have my word."
Stoick nodded and then watched as Astrid exited the command centre and he extremely hope that that wouldn't be the last time he would see her.
Meanwhile orbiting Mustafar, Drago was enjoying torturing Hiccup. Standing beside him were Viggo and Maul. He had already sent Ryker and Dagur to press on their advance against the Resistance.
Hiccup was screaming in pain as Drago blasted him with lightning, the pain was almost unbearable. He suddenly felt relief when Drago ceased, but he knew that another bolt of lightning was going to strike him any second from now.
"You will tell me where you are hiding the Jedi!" Drago demanded.
"I won't tell you a thing," said Hiccup panting.
Drago was now getting annoyed, he had been torturing Hiccup for the past twenty-four hours and yet the young Jedi still did not answer his question.
"Viggo, Maul, continue with the interrogation," said Drago. "I'm late for my update from Grand Moth Tarkin, inform me if our guest's lips are unsealed."
"Of course, my Lord," said Viggo.
Viggo and Maul watched as Drago then left the cell and once they were sure that he was long gone they turn to one another.
"I can't stand working for that man," said Maul.
"I understand, Maul," said Viggo. "I personally believe that we need a saner leader in charge."
Maul looked at Viggo. "You're not suggesting yourself, are you?"
"Once we kill Drago we can then argue who would take command of the First Order," said Viggo. "But right now we should do what he asks and continue our interrogation of this captured Jedi."
"Typical Sith," said Hiccup, breathing very hard now. "That's why you don't win, it's because you betray one another. It's how you lost a Galactic War three thousand years ago, how you lost a Galactic Civil War and its how you going to lose this one."
Maul looked at him and began to walk around. "You're just as pathetic as the day we met," said Maul. "I remember that you and your master when investigating the assassination of a Senator. It led you to a secret clone army and then to a secret droid army, where you were held prisoner. You only saved by the Clone Army."
"Feeling regret of building a clone army?" Hiccup smirked.
"No, because they did their job and assassinated you Jedi, just as was intended," said Maul. He then looked straight in Hiccup's eyes. "And you never saw it coming. You might have slain General Grievous, but were unable to prevent the Jedi Purge, just like how you are unable to prevent the death of your master."
Hiccup looked at Maul defiantly. "You know, when I cut you in half, I should have aimed for your neck instead."
Maul looked at Viggo, who then activated the torture table and suddenly electricity flowed through Hiccup's body. The entire cell was filled with his screams.
"Anything more to say?" Maul snarled as Viggo deactivated the torture table.
"I like your new legs," Hiccup smirked. "They make you look taller."
Maul then used the Force to begin crushing Hiccup on the ground in agony. "I will make sure you stay awake long enough to feel every single bit of pain. Your death will be beyond excruciating. You will suffer as I have suffered."
"Just make sure that we get the Intel we need beforehand," said Viggo. "He's no good to us dead yet."
"Do not worry, I'll make sure that he's a life just long enough to suit your needs," said Maul.
"I'll never betray the Jedi or the Resistance," said Hiccup.
"Quite admirable," said Viggo. "Of course there is only so much pain one can take before they finally crack." Viggo then pulled out one of Hiccup's lightsaber, the one with the stunned blaster. "Whether you denied not you are simply afraid, afraid that you will crack and betray those you call threatens, afraid of what damage you will do." Viggo then pointed the blade at Hiccup. "Let me tell you something Hiccup, you're right to be afraid. You couldn't save your master, you can save the Jedi and you can't save the Resistance now."
Meanwhile outside, a First Order transporter just came out of hyperspace with a TIE Fighter attached to it. Astrid was sitting in the pilot seat with the rest of the team along with Ragnar and Heather.
They looked through the window and saw the massive blockade of Star Destroyers surrounding the planet. Astrid saw Mustafar just behind them and just as Ragnar described it was an entire volcanic planet and began to wonder how many Jedi they sent to die down there.
Astrid then shook her head, she needed to focus on the mission or else Hiccup and her team could die.
"I'll send in our transborder code as soon as we know which Star Destroyer is there," said Astrid. He then turned to Ragnar. "Ragnar."
"On it," said Ragnar.
Ragnar then closes eyes began to concentrate for Hiccup's presence.
"So, anything?" Snotlout asked noticing the Star Destroyer is getting closer.
"Give him a minute," Heather snapped.
"We really don't have a minute," Fishlegs quivered.
Astrid had to agree that they were getting a bit too close to the Star Destroyer and they would soon begin to wonder what was up.
"Ragnar? Is he there?" Astrid asked.
Ragnar couldn't hear her as he was too busy focusing on locating Hiccup. He allow the Force to guide him to the correct Star Destroyer and that's when he sensed him. He could sense Hiccup in the Star Destroyer furthest from the others.
Hiccup was still in his cell, Viggo and Maul had left so they could plan their next attempt to torture him. His eyes were closed and then he sent Ragnar's presence and opens them immediately.
"I have him," said Ragnar opening his eyes. "He's alive on the furthest Star Destroyer."
"Sending code," said Astrid as she began to fiddle with the controls.
Meanwhile on the deck of the Star Destroyer, Drago and Grand Moth Tarkin were discussing the recent events with a conflict with the Resistance.
"We've managed to hold our own just outside the Outer-Rim," said Tarkin. "The Resistance believes that we are on the run, but in truth we are we fortifying our forces. In about a year's time we will have the forces needed to repel the Resistance."
"For your sake I hope you are right," said Drago. "For every day that goes by the Resistance gains power and I don't mean just from the Republic."
"Which is why we are leading them to a false sense of security," said Tarkin. "I admit that they have surprised us in the recent days, but we can overcome this. Lord Calculus has devised new strategies in order to combat the Resistance and anyone else who gets in our way."
"I'll be holding you to that, Grand Moth, for I have not forgotten how you allowed the Resistance to retake Balmorra," said Drago pointing a finger at him.
Drago men walked away leaving a slightly troubled Tarkin behind. Neither them had noticed that an offer had just granted permission for a First Order transporter or that they were allowing an escort of ten TIE Fighters.
On the transporter, Astrid smirked. "They bought it," she said. "R3 send the twins present."
R3 beeps and began accessing the data port and released the loan TIE fighter that was attached to it. Using autopilot he guided the TIE towards the Star Destroyer once it landed inside the twins waited a few seconds and then press down on their triggers.
The effect was instantaneous as they watched a massive EMP coursing right through the ship. The Stormtroopers on-board collapsed due to the radios in their helmets.
Both Maul and Viggo were in Hiccup's cell preparing to continue the torture when everything went dark.
"They're here," said Viggo. "So predictable."
On the bridge, Drago and Tarkin were looking down at the offices as they assessed the damage.
"We've lost main power," said an officer. "Some kind of pulse destination in the hangar bay five."
"Go to auxiliary power," said Tarkin.
Within this confusion Astrid position themselves close to the Star Destroyer and use the magnetic clamps to actually attach to it on its side. They all made their way to airlock and Astrid looked back at R3.
"This shouldn't take long," she said. "Keep the engine running."
R3 beeps in acknowledgement.
Once they entered into the airlock and opened it they found themselves face-to-face with a solid metal wall. Ragnar then pulled out his lightsaber and began to cut through it. Then using the Force both he and Heather removed it and one by one they entered into the Star Destroyer.
"These guys will wake up soon," said Astrid.
"How soon?" Ragnar asked.
"Knowing our luck too soon," said Snotlout.
"Then let's find Hiccup ASAP," said Ragnar.
On the bridge and off so was informing both Drago and Tarkin of the situation.
"The Star Destroyer is down to emergency power and life support only," said the officer.
"I hope you have a contingency plan," said Drago looking at Tarkin.
"Indeed I have, my Lord," said Tarkin. He then looked to the other Star Destroyers through the window. "I have been sending all clear message to the rest of the fleet. As soon as we met an interval they send reinforcements, and that interval is up… now."
They turned and saw two shuttles making their way towards them from the other Star Destroyers.
Meanwhile Ragnar and Astrid's group were running through the Star Destroyers quickly as they could to the cells.
Then they heard R3 beeping on the communicator.
"Reinforcements already?" Astrid gasped. "That was fast."
"Don't worry, I'll ship this big it'll take them a while to find us," said Snotlout.
They soon turned round the corner and discovered that Snotlout's theory had been proven wrong. For turning round the opposite corner were several Stormtroopers.
"They found us," Fishlegs quivered.
Astrid quickly fired her rifle, shooting one of the Stormtroopers. They then began running back down the corridor they just came down from.
"Then we split up and will each make our way to Hiccup," said Ragnar.
"Sounds like a plan," said Astrid as they reach a crossroads. "Fishlegs, you, Snotlout and the twins go down that corridor, me, Ragnar and Heather will go down the other one."
"Right," said Fishlegs, very clearly did not like the idea.
They then split up into the respective groups and ran down a corridor each. The Stormtroopers too separated and followed them down each of the respected corridors.
The troopers that were following Astrid's group began firing at them, but Ragnar and Heather were deflecting the shot with their lightsabers. However, more and more troopers came round the corner. Ragnar came to a sudden stop and faced the troopers.
"I'll hold them off you to carry on," said Ragnar as he began to deflect the shots the Stormtroopers were firing.
"But what about you?" Heather asked fearfully.
"I'll be fine," said Ragnar. "You need to find Hiccup!"
Astrid then grabbed Heather's arm and looked at her in the eyes telling her to trust Ragnar. Reluctantly Heather did what she was told and she and Astrid ran down the corner while Ragnar covered their backs.
Meanwhile on the transporter, R3 saw more transporters heading their way over to the Star Destroyer. He knew there was only a matter of time before they discovered his presence and that they would need a better escape route.
R3 and activated his transmitter and a holographic image of a robed figure appeared.
"Who is this?" said the figure with a voice disguise.
R3 then began to explain their situation as the robed figure listened.
Meanwhile Astrid and Heather were heading towards the cells, but then several Stormtroopers turn round the corner began firing their blasters at them. Heather quickly drew out her lightsaber and began deflecting the shots.
"You carry on, I've got these guys," said Heather.
Astrid looked at her friend and nodded and carried on down through the cell corridors and this was when she wished she could use the Force she had no idea which one Hiccup was located in. She knew they had a limited amount of time before every trooper in the Star Destroyer recovered.
She paused and took a deep breath, for she wasn't to locate Hiccup by panicking. She then remember the tracker that Ragnar mentioned pulled out the communicator. She remembered Ragnar saying that the tracer couldn't produce a precise location, but she hope that now she was this close that it would.
She tuned the communicator to the traces frequently began to beep. She had the communicator out and use it as a guide and then she came to a stop in one of the cells and she knew instantly that Hiccup was behind this one.
She quickly opened the cell door and found Hiccup strapped to a torture table. He looked extremely weak can only imagine what he had been through from both Maul and Viggo.
"Hiccup," she said overjoyed.
"Astrid?" said Hiccup weakly.
Astrid then quickly ran up to him and began to remove the shackles around him. She then called him as he fell.
"I thought I lost you," said Astrid as she looked into his eyes.
"I thought I'd lost you," said Hiccup.
Then to his greatest surprise Astrid punched him on the shoulder and glared at him. "That was for scaring me."
"Is it always going to be like this?" said Hiccup furiously. "Because of it is I—"
He stopped when Astrid placed her lips over his and his mind went blank. He felt himself melting away through Astrid's lips, it was as his mind had turned to jelly.
She then pulled away from him and he just stared at her. "I get used to it," he said.
Astrid merely blushed and helped him along as they exited the cells.
"Where are the others?" Hiccup asked.
"We had to split up when Stormtroopers crowded the place, Fishlegs led one team with Snotlout and the twins and I went with Ragnar and Heather. Unfortunately, more Stormtroopers appeared and they stayed behind to hold them back.
"They'll be fine," said Hiccup.
"I hope you're right, because I don't fancy doing this again," said Astrid.
Meanwhile, Fishlegs, Snotlout and the twins just turn round the corner where they found Ragnar, who just finished dealing with a Stormtrooper.
"Where's Astrid and Heather?" Fishlegs asked.
"We had to split up," said Ragnar. "Don't worry they'll be fine and I'm betting they already have Hiccup."
Then suddenly they saw more Stormtroopers heading towards them and the twins quickly fired their rifles knocking two down. They quickly turn round the corner as more and more appeared.
Hiccup and Astrid were had just entered into the engine room and that's where they found Viggo and Maul standing as if they had been expecting them. The two Sith then pulled out their lightsabers.
Hiccup then had his and grabbed Astrid's vibro-axe. "Mind if I borrow this?"
"Go ahead," said Astrid.
Hiccup activated it and an axe appeared, but the two Sith Lord didn't look entirely concerned.
"You can defeat us before, what makes you think you can do it now?" said Viggo.
"Because I'm here with him," said a voice.
They turned and found Heather standing there behind them with her lightsaber drawn. Hiccup looked at Heather and she nodded and the two of them charged towards both Viggo and Maul.
Heather's spine and slammed her blade towards Maul, who quickly blocked it with his own. She then tried to deal an uppercut, but he managed to back away in time to avoid it. He then spun trying to get her while her guard was down, but Heather leaned backwards and allowed it to flow over her head.
Maul then used the Force to jump onto the platform above them and Heather did the same. The two of them then began trading blows with their duel-bladed lightsabers. During their clashes Maul recognised the movements.
"So you're Ragnar's Padawan," he said. "You could be so much more if you accepted the dark side."
"If I didn't listen to Dagur, what makes you think I would listen to you?" said Heather and used the Force to push him backwards.
Maul fell onto the platform and looked up in time to see Heather plunging her lightsaber down on top of him. He quickly rolled out of the way and then slammed his mechanical legs into her, causing her to lose her balance. He then raised his lightsaber, but Heather quickly blocked it.
Hiccup meanwhile was slammed Astrid axe towards Viggo, who sidestepped and tried to plunge his blade into him. Hiccup, however blocked it with the axe and then kicked him in the gut with his prosthetic.
Then while Viggo's guard was down Hiccup used the Force to retrieve his lightsabers that were attached to Viggo's belt. He then tossed the vibro-axe to Astrid and the two of them looked at each other and nodded.
Viggo looked at the two of them and smiled. "At last, a fight that might be worthy of my time."
Hiccup and Astrid then charged at one another. Hiccup used the stun blasts from his lightsaber to force Viggo to go on the defensive while they charged at him. Astrid then slammed her axe towards him, but he quickly jumped out of the way and then quickly blocked Hiccup's blade in his right hand.
Hiccup activated the blade of his left and swung it towards him, but Viggo blocked it with his lower blade and then spun to strike him, but he easily sidestepped. Viggo and kept on spinning his lightsabers pushing Hiccup backwards as he went on the defensive.
Hiccup then swung at him forcing him to jump backwards and Astrid try to strike him with her axe, but he quickly blocked it. Hiccup then try to attack and while he was blocking Astrid, but he quickly countered and then struck back at Astrid, who was now going on the defensive.
Hiccup then slammed his to blaze towards Viggo, who quickly blocked it. Astrid was prepared to strike him, but he quickly extended his hand and used the Force to push her backwards. Then using the rotating lightsaber, Viggo was able to break through Hiccup's guard and dealt to powerful kicks into his chest.
Viggo then used the Force to push him backwards and he turned just as Astrid got back onto her feet. He then tossed his spinning lightsaber at her and she blocked it with her axe. However, the impacted course to lose her balance and she toppled over the platform.
Hiccup watched in horror as he watched helplessly as Astrid tumbled.
"No!" he yelled.
Viggo's lightsaber then returned to its own, who then turned to Hiccup. He saw Hiccup looking over the edge hoping to see any trace of Astrid, but saw nothing. Viggo merely smiled, believing that he had finally broken Hiccup.
However, Hiccup simply took a deep breath and then turned to face Viggo. He had a new determined look on his face and he held his lightsaber even more firmly.
"That was a mistake," said Hiccup.
"Why?" Viggo asked. "Because you have no one left to die for you?"
Hiccup then activated his lightsaber and Viggo send something powerful emanating from him, but it wasn't the dark side of the Force. Somehow, Hiccup had tapped into the light side and it became even more powerful.
"No," he said. "Because I have nothing left to fear."
Viggo looked quite interested and raised his lightsaber and Hiccup did the same. The two of them in charge at one another raising their blades and they clashed.
Meanwhile Ragnar was leading the others all along the Star Destroyer, but they kept on running into Stormtroopers patrols and what was worse than ones that were not unconscious were coming round.
"The other troopers are waking up," said Fishlegs.
"That puts twice as many between us and R3," said Snotlout.
"There will have the change of plan a bit, but first things first we need a distraction," said Ragnar.
They then turned to the twins, who grinned. They then tossed two grenades over towards the patrol and then they exploded releasing a smoke screen. They then took this as their chance to run across the corridor and they fired their blasters at the troopers.
"Now we need to head down to bay five," said Ragnar. He then reached for his communicator. "Astrid, we're finding another way out." However all she could hear was static. "Astrid? Can you hear me?"
In the engine room both Heather and Maul were still duelling, but Heather was starting to get worn out. Maul was certainly powerful as Ragnar had said to began to wonder how Hiccup managed to defeat him in the first place.
Maul swung his lightsaber and Heather blocked it, but was not the ground. She looked up and saw Maul pointing his blade at her.
"I could kill you now," he said. His eyes then fell down onto Hiccup and Viggo and he could see that Viggo was losing. "However, I have no allegiance to the First Order or to Viggo. You could end up being my most powerful weapon to kill Drago and I would rather not toss aside a valuable tool."
Heather was still too weak to move and she could only watch as Maul left her lying there and she began to wonder whose side he was truly on.
Meanwhile, Astrid was laying down on the balcony just below Hiccup and Viggo. To know that she actually landed on that rather than the open space either side.
Everything was still dizzy, but then she heard the sound of Ragnar's voice. "Astrid? Can you hear me? Astrid?"
Astrid's eyes opened and she reached for her communicator, still slightly dizzy. "I'm here, she said.
"Do you and Heather have Hiccup? Is he okay?" Ragnar asked.
Astrid looked up and saw Hiccup and Viggo battling one another and it looked at her that Hiccup was one that was winning.
Viggo kept on swinging his blade at Hiccup and the either dodged gracefully blocked it with his own lightsabers. He then fired his stun blast at Viggo, who spun his lightsaber to block the blasts and found himself in the control console. He then ran towards him still firing stun shots towards the Sith.
"Yeah, I think he's better than okay," said Astrid.
It was then that she noticed Heather laying on the balcony above them and it looked as if she was injured. She then pulled out her grapple gun and use it to lift herself onto the balcony with Heather on it.
Meanwhile, unaware that Astrid was alive and well, Hiccup kept on pressing his advantage on Viggo. He blocked Viggo's swipes and managed to push and bag and two who was actually inside the control console.
Hiccup then began swiping cutting right through the control console and Viggo was very able to block and now. Hiccup then fired more stun blasts forcing Viggo back towards the edge of the platform.
Now trapped, Viggo tried desperately to swing his lightsaber at Hiccup, but he rolled out of the way. The two of them then looked at one another face-to-face and Viggo could see the determined look on Hiccup's eyes.
"You are right," said Hiccup. "I was afraid, but now I know there's something stronger than fear. Far stronger… the Force."
Viggo then began to spin his duel-blade and Hiccup saw his opening.
"Let me show you how strong," said Hiccup.
Too late, Viggo realised his mistake as Hiccup places to lightsabers into the guard of his duel-blade. He then sliced right through the guard causing the lightsaber to be split into and the two components fell into the hyperdrive.
Viggo, had lost balance due to this and was now hanging onto the ledge of the platform. To make matters worse for him when the two components landed in the hyperdrive it cause an overload causing the entire Star Destroyer to shake.
Viggo realised there was no escape he looked up to Hiccup, who pointed his two lightsabers towards his throat.
"You have no idea what you've unleashed today," said Viggo. Hiccup could see that he was defeated and withdrew his lightsabers. "There are some things far more frightening than death."
Viggo then released his grip and fell into the firing furnace of what used to be the engine bay. Hiccup watched as his body was consumed by the flames and he could no longer senses present any more.
"Hiccup," said a voice.
Hiccup's eyes widened as he recognised the voice. He turned and found Astrid standing there supporting Heather, who looks completely exhausted.
Heather removed herself from Astrid, knowing what Hiccup was about to do. Hiccup then flung his arms around Astrid, a bit startled Astrid did the same to him.
"I thought I lost you," he said as tears ran down his cheek.
"I know the feeling," said Astrid. Then pulled apart and she looked into his eyes. "Let's go home."
The romantic moment was then ruined by the Star Destroyer shaking and they quickly ran for it.
On the bridge, an officer approached both Drago and Tarkin.
"There's been damage to the power core," said the officer. "The hyperdrive is overheating. We can't hold the ship, we need to evacuate."
The door opened and they saw Maul entering. "Master, Darth Calculus is no more," he said. "He was slain by Hiccup Haddock."
"I see," said Drago. "It would seem as if we've underestimated these Resistance fighters."
In hangar bay five, they three plenty of TIE Fighters.
"Me and Fishlegs will take one each, Snotlout you and the twins on the other," said Ragnar.
"Why do I have to share with the twins?" Snotlout yelled indignantly.
"Because I said so," said Ragnar as he climbed into the TIE Fighter.
Once he placed himself in the pilot seat he reached for his communicator. "Astrid, we're taken a couple of TIEs out of here. Where are you and Heather?"
"We're on our way," said Astrid. "Go!"
"We're not leaving without you two and Hiccup," said Ragnar defiantly.
"You heard the Major, go," said Hiccup's voice.
Ragnar smiled and began to fly the TIE out of the bay and was followed close behind by Fishlegs and Snotlout. Of course, the moment they were outside the other TIE Fighters began to fire at them.
"Can't we get a minutes peace!" Snotlout yelled.
"R3, we have to get out of here fast," said Ragnar over the comm. "Send a signal so that we can link for hyperspace."
However, they heard nothing.
"Do you read?" said Ragnar. He then activated the comm so that he can communicate with Snotlout and Fishlegs. "R3 is not answering."
Meanwhile, Hiccup led Astrid and Heather into another Bay just as to TIEs flew out. They walked around for another fighter and could only find the one belonging to Viggo.
"Viggo's TIE," said Hiccup.
Without hesitation they ran to it and Hiccup took the pilot seat as Astrid and Heather stood behind him. Hiccup then piloted the TIE out of the demolished Star Destroyer.
Ragnar and the others were doing their best to avoid being shot by the TIEs behind them. The TIE Fighters were extremely nimble, but they have no shield generators or life supports and what's worse they didn't install hyperdrive is in them.
"Would it kill them to actually build a hyperdrive in these fighters," Ragnar groaned.
"I just can't believe that bucket of bolts let us behind!" Snotlout yelled furiously.
A TIE was about to shoot at Fishlegs, but then out of nowhere a never TIE appeared and blasted the TIE to pieces and it did the same to two others. The TIE then flew alongside them.
"We've got your back," said Heather over the comm.
"Thanks, but without R3's transport we're going nowhere," said Ragnar.
"We've got TIE closing in," said Hiccup looking at his instruments.
"How many?" Astrid asked.
"Too many."
About a hundred TIE Fighters were now chasing them and lasers flew past them as they nimbly dodged them. However, it was only a matter of time before they would get a shot in.
"Don't get it," said Hiccup. "R3 would never leave anyone behind."
Then suddenly R3's transport appeared out of hyperspace.
"R3," said Ragnar as he looked at the transport. "You came back."
Then suddenly fighters then appeared alongside next to him, the fighters had rings attached to them and they were flying directly at the TIEs and in the middle of them was The Night Fury.
Astrid's eyes widened when she recognised the class of ships the fighters were. "Wait, are those…"
"Jedi Starfighters," Hiccup finished.
The Starfighters then began to engage the TIEs blowing them to pieces along with The Night Fury. R3 men positioned the transporter over the four TIEs.
"We have to talk with R3 everyone to make the jump to hyperspace," said Ragnar.
"On it," said Hiccup.
They flew under the transporter and at once the airlocks attach themselves onto the TIEs. Seconds later they watched as they entered into hyperspace.
Meanwhile, Drago, Maul and Tarkin had just escaped from the Star Destroy before it exploded and made their way to one of the closest Star Destroy. The arrival of the Jedi Starfighters did not escape the notice.
"So the Jedi are finally shown themselves," said Drago.
"Compassion is there weakness," said Maul. "They were bound to show up to save them."
"True," said Drago. "But I did not expect the sea that many Starfighters, it appears that the Jedi are much more numerous than we imagined."
Meanwhile flying through hyperspace, Hiccup and the others made their way through the airlocks and entered into the transporter.
Hiccup smiled at all of them. "I owe you a great debt of gratitude," he said.
"You would have done the same for us," said Ragnar.
They then heard beeping sounds and R3 just emerged from the bridge. He rolled up to Hiccup and began to beep.
"I've missed you too buddy," said Hiccup patting the droid on the head.
Astrid frowned. "If R3 was in the transport ship who was flying The Night Fury?"
"I have a pretty good idea," said Hiccup.
They made their way out of the docking tube where The Night Fury had already ported and made their way onto the ship. On-board they found Rex and Toothless, who automatically wrapped his arms around Hiccup, practically squeezing him to death.
"It's great seeing you do, bud," Hiccup winced.
"So it was you guys who're flying?" said Heather.
Rex shook his head. "It wasn't us." He then looked to Hiccup. "The Commander is waiting, sir."
"Then let's meet her," said Hiccup.
They entered through the doorway and their standing there was a twenty-three-year-old female Togruta. She had Orange with white markings and blue stripes and had a long tentacle running down her back on to others on her front. Her eyes were deep blue when the fell onto Hiccup.
Hiccup turned and looked at the Hiccup looked at the Berkains. "Everyone, let me introduce to you my former Padawan, Ahsoka Tano.
"It's nice to meet you all," said Ahsoka.
"You're Padawan?" Astrid gasped.
Ragnar then walked up to Ahsoka. "You've grown up," he said.
Ahsoka just smiled at him. "Had to happen sometime."
"Sorry, can you explain to me where all these Jedi came from?" Astrid asked.
"R3 contacted us that you needed help," said Ahsoka. "We then prepped our ships and flew to Berk."
"The General was quite shocked to see so many Jedi at once," Rex smiled.
"We then rushed over to help you," said Ahsoka.
Hiccup sighed. "I had hoped that we had a bit more time to prepare the Order for going into battle."
Ahsoka then placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hiccup, you managed to restore the Jedi from ashes. You're the one that has led our training, you're the one that has spread new ideals among the Jedi. It is why we named you Grand Master."
That's when everyone's draw dropped.
"Is there anything else you haven't told us?" said Astrid staring at Hiccup.
"Actually that's about it," said Hiccup rubbing the back of his head. "I never asked to become Grand Master. Technically, it only should be given to a member of the Jedi Council and we have a magic reader new one yet."
"Still we had no choice," said Ahsoka. She then looked everyone in the room. "All of you have changed that and it's time for the Jedi to join the fight."
"Looks like Resistance has grown even larger," Heather smiled looking at Astrid and she can help but notice that both she and Hiccup were holding hands.
She can help but wonder was about time the two of them became a couple, after all they seemed perfect one another.
Meanwhile in Drago's throne room, Drago was looking down at Dagur, Ryker and Maul. Ryker looked particularly angry for the death of his brother.
"The Jedi have now joined the Resistance," said Drago. "Which had bolstered their morale and still we do not know the location of their safe haven. We must put a stop to this before the fires grow out of hand."
"Rest assured, Master," said Maul, with a slight smirk on his face. "We will do everything in our power to crush this Resistance and bring about a new Empire."
"Let Viggo's death remind us that our enemy is not to be trifled with," said Drago. "I want all our efforts to crush the Resistance and locating the Jedi safe haven."
"What of the secret weapon?" Dagur asked.
"Its construction is fifty percent complete, but progress is slow due to our recent defeats," said Drago. "But once our weapon is ready we will show the Galaxy what happens when the defy the First Order!"
