A/N: I'M BACK! Hello all and welcome to my humble story for those of you that are new allow me to introduce myself. I am the Midwest Mexican. I am very happy to be bringing you this story as it is a Sequel, that is right a Sequel to my very first story Rise of The Night Fury. In order to understand what is going on I HIGHLY recommend that you go and read that story as it will help bring everything else into focus. Also another reason I am happy to bring this story to is that today one year ago I posted my very first story and never looked back so I happy and found it very satisfying to post something new on the anniversary of my first story. Now I'm sure you will have noticed that this is a Star Wars AU, now that might scare some of you into thinking that there is going to be a ton of lore in here that will go over your heads but I assure you that is not the case. I make a few referecnes that might not make sense or require very little digging but the rest of the story will be easy to follow. This is just the HTTYD characters in the Star Wars universe. If you have any questions on what is what feel free to message me and I will gladly explain it to you. Alright now that, that is out of the way I give to you Wrath of The Night Fury. Please review I read them all and they always make my day.
Another bit of admin here I feel like I should tell you the ages of everyone in the Story.
Hiccup and Astrid: 25 years old
Carth and Mission Haddock(Adopted Twins): 13 years old
Meetra Haddock (First born to Hiccup and Astrid): Five years old
That is the main thing I wanted to make clear, all the other HTTYD characters are the same age as Hiccup and Astrid.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Mexican ;p

The sun had just risen over the rolling hills of Dantooine and Hiccup and the twins were on the hunt. This time of year the Iriaz were in the rut and very active. All three had just left their house and Carth and Mission could hardly contain their excitement.
"I can't believe it, the first hunt of the year." Carth exclaimed.
"I bet this year I can get a bigger one than you." Mission replied goading him on.
"You are so on." Carth shot back with an eager smile on his face.
Hiccup was listening to the twins banter back and forth with a proud smile on his face. They've been doing this every year for the past five years since they have been here and it was always amusing to watch. They crested the nearest hill and crouched down on top of it so they could get a good view of the valley below them and not give themselves away to any potential game.
Hiccup scanned the valley below him but his mind was back home with his wife and five year old daughter. He couldn't believe how fast five years had flown by since they had gotten to Dantooine. The twins went to a school located in Khoonda that Meetra would soon be joining as well. Astrid and himself had planted a small farm so they could grow the vegetables they all needed, had domesticated a few Bol to produce milk, and hunted for their meat. They would take regular trips to Khoonda to stock up on supplies, get parts to make minor repairs to the house, buy more rifle clips, and to let the kids see their friends.
Hiccup smiled as he felt the sun hit face, yes his life was absolutely perfect. As he took in a deep breath he felt the sleeve of his shirt begin tugged and he looked down to see Carth and Mission with their eyes glued to their view finders and each with a hand pointed off in the distance. Hiccup pulled up his own view finder and looked in the direction that the twins were pointing, sure enough there was a small herd of Iriaz at far end of the valley grazing by the edge of a small stream. Hiccup pulled down his view finder and laid down on his stomach. Carth and Mission followed suit never taking their eyes off where the animals were.
"Good job guys now all you have to do is work your way over there without giving yourselves away and scaring them off." Hiccup said gently.
"Wait aren't you coming with us dad?" Mission asked softly.
"Not this time princess. This time you and your brother get to hunt them all on your own." Hiccup explained with a smile.
The twin's faces dropped and their mouths were slightly gaped open. Up until today Hiccup had always gone with them on their hunts, always led the way and showed them how to properly stalk and not be heard or seen. Now it seemed Hiccup was putting them to the test and seeing how much of it they had retained. The twins were still looking at him in shock and Hiccup could only shake his head at their antics.
"I don't know why you are looking at me the Iriaz are down there." Hiccup pointed with his head.
The twins shook themselves out of their daze and looked at each other and gave a firm nod before looking back at their Hiccup.
"We won't let you down dad." Carth stated firmly.
"You could ever let me down son. Nor you Mission." Hiccup replied back in a warm tone.
The light in both of their eyes exploded with pride and happiness. They both nodded to Hiccup and slowly backed up while still on their bellies. As soon as they were just on the other side of the hill they stood up and shouldered their Sporting blaster rifles. Hiccup and Astrid had bought the twins their own rifles when they had turned 10 years old. With the rifles begin light, easy to carry, and highly accurate they were the perfect starter weapons for the twins. With the rifles being much more affordable than Hiccup's Mandalorian Sniper Rifle, and easier to obtain than Astrid's E-11 blaster rifle it only made sense to start them out with these ones. The day that Hiccup and Astrid gave the twins their rifles you would have thought the Empire had been defeated. Carth's rifle had been colored a dark rust red with accents of white on the trigger guard, stock, pistol grip, and scope. Mission's rifle was a deep forest green with accents of brown in the same places as Carth's. Their rifles each had the names engraved into them as well along the barrel. For the rest of the day they couldn't get the kids to sit still as all they wanted to do was go out and shoot.
Hiccup laughed at the memory as he and Astrid had given in and every day for at least an hour they would take their kids to shoot target practice until they were deemed accurate enough to be taken hunting. Hiccup smiled as he thought about the first hunt he had even taken them on and the pictures that hung in the living room of their first Iriaz. Now they would be able to hang up pictures of their first hunt all by themselves. Hiccup looked up to see how the kids were doing and was pleased to see that they were half way there and using the skills he had taught them to remain hidden.
Walk slow so you are not out of breath, stop for a few moments to catch your breath, gage the wind, mind your steps, keep the animals in sight and yourself hidden, and make sure your rifle is loaded. All of these were things that Hiccup had taught the twins to make them more successful hunters and it seemed to be working for now but the most important part was yet to come. Hiccup pulled up his view finder and started to watch what the Iriaz were doing and how far his kids were to getting within range. He could see his kids poking their heads up over the hill to see where the animals were and pulling out their view finders to see how far of a shot it would be. Hiccup had always taught them that just because their rifles can shoot 450 meters doesn't mean you have to take that shot. He watched them get closer and closer before the finally stopped. He knew what they were doing, catching their breath and preparing to line up their shots. He switched his gaze back to the Iriaz and looked to see if there were any big bulls in the small herd. He noticed two decent sized bulls and knew that if he saw them his kids would as well.
He saw his kids slowly crawl up to the top of the hill and set up their rifles. Pulling the bi-pods out to have a sturdier base and make for a more accurate shot he could see the two of them talking and deciding which one they would take. He could see a small nod from both of them and held his breath as he watched them place their fingers on the triggers. Seconds turned into hours as time slowed to a crawl, Hiccup held his breath and released it slow and in control just like he taught his kids. He widened his view finder so he could see his kids and the Iriaz. He took a few more breaths and repeated his controlled release of it and waited to hear the familiar reports of blaster fire. Time continued to tick away and the Iriaz were slowly starting to move away.
"No, no, no, no, come on guys take the shot." Hiccup whispered to himself.
The shots didn't come and the Iriaz kept moving further away and Hiccup began to get more nervous. Finally he heard it, two shots fired just milliseconds apart from each other rang out across the valley. Hiccup's breath hitched as his eyes went wide. The small heard had taken off and Hiccup had wondered if they had missed. As he looked back at the twins he could see them high fiving and punching the air with excitement. He turned his gaze back to where the heard had been and sure enough the two bulls that he had hoped they would target lay on the ground motionless. Hiccup stood up and punched the air himself he was so happy for his kids. He made his way over to them and they were still jumping up and down with joy.
"Dad did you see that?!" They both shouted at him with glee.
"I sure did, well done the both of you I'm very proud of you and I just know that your mother will be too." Hiccup beamed at them.
"Now get on down there and gut them so we can drag them back to the house." Hiccup ordered them gently.
The twins took off down the hill eager to get started and to get back home to show their mom. It took about half an hour for both twins to be done and to tie a rope around their respective kills and start hauling them up the hill.
"I'm pretty sure mine is bigger than yours sis." Carth teased.
"In your dreams bro mine is way bigger." Mission bantered back.
"No way, you think I would let you have the bigger one." Carth replied.
"I just let you think that you were getting the bigger one, so I could have the real bull to myself." Mission answered back with a smug smile.
"Dad whose do you think is bigger?" Carth asked.
Hiccup chuckled as he listened to his kids banter back and forth and tease each other like only siblings could. He turned around and eyed each bull closely looking at each one as if it were the most important decision he was about to make.
"Hmm I don't know they both look very similar." He dragged out.
"Oh come on dad." Mission begged.
"Trying to bribe the judge with your puppy eyes?" Hiccup teased his daughter.
Her face turned bright red as she looked away with embarrassment. Hiccup laughed and continued to look at the two kills before he finally let his kids have it.
"While these are both impressive bulls I would have to say that the biggest one is…the one I shot last year." He said with a smug smile.
The looks on his kids faces was priceless, they scowled and shouted at him and demanded that he tell the other that their kill was bigger. Hiccup just laughed and laughed as his kids tackled him to the ground. They all started to laugh and stayed that way for a good few minutes before they had to stop to catch their breath.
"Seriously though guys nice job the both of you now let's get these home so you can show mom." Hiccup said as moved to pick himself off the ground.
He planted his left arm into the ground but it buckled and gave out at the elbow. He face planted back into the ground and let out an annoyed grunt.
"DAD!" The twins shouted in worry.
"I'm alright guys." Hiccup groaned as he rolled over on his side and sat up.
He looked down at his robotic arm and began to examine where it had given out. After a few moments he could see that a few wires had broken and were no longer connected. He could still move the upper part of his arm but the lower part was useless for the moment. He stood up and waved his kids off.
"No worries guys, I had noticed the wires were fraying last week and just haven't gotten around to replacing them yet. I've got stuff back at the house to fix it so let's get going." Hiccup said with a smile.
Satisfied that their dad was okay Carth and Mission picked up the ropes and started to haul their kills back to the house. As they neared the house they could see Astrid standing outside walking around with Meetra who was giggling up a storm. The little girl looked up to see her daddy and big brother and sister coming home and bolted straight for them.
Hiccup picked her up with right arm and spun her around. She laughed and laughed as they walked closer to the house. He walked up to Astrid and gave a kiss as he placed Meetra back down and motioned towards the twins. Astrid lit up as she saw the two of them hauling an Iriaz and congratulated them both on a job well done.
She looked over to Hiccup and realized that his arm was hanging fairly limply to his side. She raised an eyebrow at this before she jabbed him lightly in his side.
"Hey what was that for?" Hiccup asked lightly as he rubbed the spot.
"Just wondering when you were going to tell me that something is wrong with your arm." She stated as she swatted his robotic arm.
It swung limply in the air and Hiccup just smiled sheepishly.
"I was going to tell you once everyone settled down a bit. A few wires broke nothing serious." Hiccup replied calmly.
"Let's get the Iriaz hung up so we can start skinning them and then you and I can go and get this fixed. Deal?" Hiccup stated as he fluttered his eye lashes at Astrid and gave a mock pout.
Astrid laughed at her husband's antics and lightly shoved his shoulder as she smiled brightly at him.
"Oh you big dork fine. Carth, Mission let's get your kills hung up so you can start skinning and cutting the meat out!" Astrid called out.
Carth and Mission drug their kills over to the poles that Hiccup had set up long ago and started to hoist the Iriaz up off the ground. Meetra was following them closely giggling away as she watched her big brother and sister.
"Be sure you two keep an eye on her I'm going to take your father inside and fix his arm." Astrid said, reminding the twins.
"Sure thing mom." They responded in unison.
Astrid led Hiccup inside to the small repair shop that they had turned one of the many rooms of their house into. She sat Hiccup down on the chair and lifted his arm onto the table. She found a hydrospanner and the wires needed to replace the broken ones and made her way back.
"So how was the hunt?" She asked as she popped open Hiccup's arm.
"Well it obviously went very well, but the kids loved it. The look on their face when I said it was all on them today could have kept the planet lit for at least a week." Hiccup chuckled out.
"That sounds wonderful, wish I could have been there." Astrid replied as she took out the broken wires.
"When Meetra turns 8 and I start taking her out you can come with." Hiccup replied as he watched her place the new wires in.
"I think I'd like that it has been a while since I've been able to go hunting with you." She answered softly as she used the hydrospanner to lock the wires in place.
"There you are good as new." She stated cheerfully as she closed the arm panel.
Hiccup lifted his arm and squeezed his hand and flexed his fingers. He smiled at the repair job and leaned over to kiss his wife.
"Thanks sweetie, now let's go see how the kids are doing." Hiccup whispered to her.
Astrid nodded and followed him out the house and back into the yard. As they turned the corner to where there kids were they noticed how strangely quiet it was and started to get suspicious. They rounded the corner and saw all three of their kids which made them sigh in relief, but all three were looking off in the distance at a ship that had just landed about 500 yards away from their house. Hiccup and Astrid's bodies had stiffened instantly and as the unmistakable white armor of Imperial Stormtroopers escorting an officer marched toward their house.
