Ragnar and Gustav rushed into the command centre and that's when they had a holographic image of Alvin displaying. Astrid and the others were already gathered just as they entered.

Astrid looked at them as they entered. "You're just in time." She then looked at Alvin. "Tell us what you told them."

Alvin then turned his eyes to his son and Gustav. "Jabba contacted me a few hours ago, it seems you are right Hiccup has been captured by the criminal underworld. More precisely by a slimy Hutt that goes by the name of Nem'ro the Hutt."

"How can he be so sure?" Snotlout asked.

"Because Nem'ro is the bragging kind and he has an interest in Jedi artefacts," Alvin explained. "I don't know the precise details, but somehow one of his bounty hunters found Hiccup in the wreckage of that Sith Temple and brought him to Nem'ro as a trophy."

"Is there anything more you can tell us?" Valka asked.

"Only that Nem'ro is one of the most powerful Hutts in the Cartel, in fact he rivals Jaber," Alvin explained.

"So he wouldn't be too beaten up if we take the guy out," said Gustav.

"I believe that is what Jaber is hoping for which is why he was more than willing to hand over the information," Alvin nodded. "I have no doubt in my mind that the situation will be reversed if it was an ally that had captured Hiccup."

Astrid then immediately looked at Alvin. "Tell us where this Nem'ro lives and will rescue Hiccup."

"Slow down, Astrid," said Fishlegs calmly. "We don't want to go rushing into something we don't know much about."

Ragnar nodded in agreement. "Especially if we don't want to risk Hiccup's life. We need a steady plan and is going out to be carefully coordinated."

"I'm ready whenever you are," said Gustav.

Ragnar looked at him. "You are staying here."

Gustav looked at him. "What? But it's my Master he's caught, you can't expect me to stay."

"Until I am positive that you are no longer the Force out of anger, you won't be going anywhere," said Ragnar strongly. He then immediately approached Valka and handed her the Sith Hologram. "Valka, we converse too many Jedi storming into Nem'ro's abode and I need someone I trust to take this Hologram to Tython."

Valka nodded. "Just make sure you rescue my son."

"Don't worry, we'll save him," Ragnar promised.


A few days later, R3 and K-9TV were on Nal Hutta making their way to Nem'ro's palace. Nal Hutta was the home planet of the Hutts and it was covered with thugs, mercenaries and all kinds of scum.

K-9TV was not enjoying wondering through the filthy streets. "This place is absolutely filthy and I cannot possibly imagine why Master Ragnar sent us out to this place completely alone."

R3 beeped in an annoying tone.

"Yes, I'm aware it's all in order to save Master Hiccup, but how exactly are we going to accomplish that?" K-9TV asked shaking his head.


They soon reached the palace gates and K-9TV not on the large door then immediately turn to R3. "There doesn't seem to be anybody in, let's get back to Master Ragnar."

R3 beeped at him indignantly and before he could even have a chance a probe immediately shot out from the door and looks directly at them. Then someone on the other side of the pro began to speak to them in an alien language.

"Goodness me," said K-9TV completely taken off guard.

The probe then immediately spoke once again and K-9TV spoke in the same language ingested to R3. The probe immediately turned its gaze onto R3, who beeped and backed away slightly. The pro then immediately looked back at K-9TV and spoken the same language and he immediately replied saying that he and his partner would like to see Nem'ro the Hutt. Then they heard what sounded like a laughter as the probe retreated back.

K-9TV looked at R3. "I don't they're going to let us in, R3. We had better go."

However, no sooner had he turned around and began to walk away that the doors opened and no sooner have they did that R3 immediately entered.

"R3, wait!" K-9TV pleaded. R3, however, ignored him and kept on going deep into the corridor. "Oh, dear."

K-9TV and then immediately followed R3 somewhat reluctantly. "R3! R3, wait for me!"

Then to make matters worse for the poor protocol droid the doors closed behind them. And then meeting them was an elderly looking Twi'lek.

"Now what would two droids want to do with Nem'ro?" he asked in his native language.

K-9TV looked at him. "We are merely delivering a message to Nem'ro from Jedi Master Ragnar."

R3 then beeped.

"And a gift," K-9TV added translating R3. He then immediately looked down at him in confusion. "Gift? What gift?"

The Twi'lek then immediately extended his hand and look to the two of them. "I will deliver the message and the gift to my master."

R3 then immediately beeped stubbornly.

"He says that our instructions are to give the message and give directly to Nem'ro," K-9TV translated. The Twi'lek didn't look particularly pleased by this. "I'm terribly sorry. I'm afraid he's ever so stubborn about these sort of things."

Twi'lek narrowed his eyes. "Follow me then."


They immediately began to descend through the corridor until they made their way to Nem'ro's audience chamber. That's when they saw him, Nem'ro, sitting on his podium and drinking some sort of substance from a glass.

The audience chamber was completely filled with mercenary bodyguards as well as beautiful women in slave outfits that were quite revealing. The chamber was decorated with artefacts that were clearly Jedi in origin.

The Twi'lek then immediately approach Nem'ro and whispered in his ear. "These droids were sent by Jedi Master Ragnar, they say they have a message from him as well as a gift."

K-9TV then nudged R3. "The message, R3. The message."

R3 and then immediately displayed a holographic image of Ragnar. "Greetings, Exalted One. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ragnar Keatson, Jedi Master and a close personal friend of Jedi Grandmaster Hiccup. I know that you are awfully powerful, mighty Nem'ro and I know about your interest in Jedi artefacts and I imagine having a Jedi Grandmaster among your collection is truly your greatest achievement. I wish to speak an audience with you Your Greatness to negotiate the release of my friend."

Nem'ro then laughed and soon everyone in the chambers followed his example.

"With your wisdom, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement which will be mutually beneficial and enable us to avoid any unpleasant confrontation," Ragnar's message continued. "As a token of my goodwill, I will present you with a gift…" The hologram then immediately gestured to K-9TV and R3. "These two droids."

K-9TV looked immensely horrified. "What did he say?"

"Both of them are hard-working and will serve you well," Ragnar's message continued.

K-9TV looked at R3. "Please tell me you showed him the wrong message."

The Twi'lek leaned in towards his master. "You're exalted this I very much doubt they have anything that could offer you something that could easily replace your masterpiece."

Nem'ro nodded in agreement. "There will be no bargain."

"We're doomed," K-9TV groaned.

"There is no way I would give up my favourite decoration for two droids," Nem'ro continued. He then gestured down the hallway and the two droids turned and were immediately horrified, because displaying on the wall was Hiccup frozen in carbonite. "I like Grandmaster Hiccup where he is."

"R3, look. It's Master Hiccup," said K-9TV announced. "And he's frozen in carbonite."

Everyone then laughed.

Nem'ro had decided to take the two droids anyway and immediately the two of them found themselves descending in a gloomy passageway.

"What could Master Ragnar possibly be thinking?" said K-9TV.


They soon ended in some kind of chamber where many droids were being dismembered by other droids. The guard then forced them to approach the droid in charge of the facility.

"Ah, good. New acquisitions," he said rather cheerfully. He then immediately turn to K-9TV. "You are a protocol droid, are you not?"

"I am K-9TV…"

"Yes or no will do," said the droid tiredly.

"Well, yes," K-9TV nodded.

"How many languages do you speak?"

"I'm fluent in over six million forms of communication and can readily…"

"Splendid," the droid interrupted. "We have been without an interpreter… since our master got angry with our last protocol droid and disintegrated him."

The droid then immediately pointed to a protocol droid, which was being ripped apart much to K-9TV's dismay.

The droid then turned to the guard. "Guard, this product to droid might be useful. Fit in with a nurse training bolt and taken up back to His Excellency's main audience chamber."

The garden immediately dragged K-9TV away much to his dismay.

R3 then looked up at the droid and began beeping with quite an attitude.

"You're a feisty little one, but you we'll soon learn some respect," the droid assured. "I have need for you on the master's sail barge and I think you'll fill it nicely."


A few days later, K-9TV was observing as Nem'ro apparently was having some sort of party. Some of his slave girls in his harem were dancing while music was being played for the entertainment.

However, everyone stopped when they heard noises which sound as if someone was beating someone up. Then stepping into the audience chamber was a bounty hunter in a mask and in his hands was a chain which was attached to none other than Toothless.

Everyone immediately backed away from the chains up Wookiee as they made their way towards Nem'ro.

"I have come for the bounty on this Wookiee," said the bounty hunter in an alien language.

K-9TV looked completely shocked. "Oh no, Toothless."

Nem'ro smiled. "At last I have the mighty Toothless. Protocol droid, step forward."

K-9TV then frantically approached Nem'ro. "Yes, I am here, Your Worshipfulness."

"Tell him that I bid him welcome to my humble abode and that he will receive the proper reward of 25,000 for the capture of the Wookiee."

K-9TV looked at the bounty hunter. "The illustrious Nem'ro bid you welcome and will gladly pay you the reward of 25,000."

"I won 50,000, no less," said the bounty hunter.

K-9TV looked at Nem'ro. "50,000. No less."

In anger Nem'ro struck K-9TV and glared at the bounty hunter. "And why exactly should I reward you with such a payment?"

K-9TV then picked himself up and look to the bounty hunter. "The mighty Nem'ro asked why he must pay 50,000."

"Because I'm holding a thermal detonator," said the bounty hunter as he pulled out a detonator and activated it.

"Because he's holding a thermal detonator!" K-9TV cried.

Immediately everyone panicked and all the bounty hunters in the audience chamber immediately pointed their weapons directly at him.

Nem'ro then laughed. "This bounty hunter is my kind of scum fearless and inventive. I will agree to pay to pay him 35,000, but no more than that."

K-9TV then fearfully looked at the bounty hunter. "Nem'ro offers the sum of 35 and I really do suggest you take it."

All eyes were now on the bounty hunter. "I agree to those terms," he said and turned off the detonator.

"He agrees!" said K-9TV with relief.

With the drama now over with the guard immediately grabbed Toothless and dragged him away and soon everyone was partying. Many of the bounty hunters were expressing their admiration for the bounty hunter.

However, unbeknownst to anyone among the guards was none other than Eret and he had just seen a bit of a complication. Amongst the bounty hunters in the audience chamber was none other than Boba Fett.


Later that night, when everyone was asleep, the loan bounty hunter was making his way through the audience chamber and was a carefully approaching the carbonite slab that contained Hiccup. Once he reached the slab he began accessing the controls to lower it down and once it hit the ground he accessed the controls on its side to melt the carbonite and within seconds Hiccup was freed.

He then immediately collapsed and the bounty hunter quickly caught him and then laid him down on some cushions.

"Just relax for a moment," said the bounty hunter in basic. "You're free of the carbonite." Hiccup was feeling very strange, he looked at his hand which immediately began twitching uncontrollably. "You have hibernation sickness."

"Where am I?" Hiccup asked rubbing his face.

"In Nem'ro the Hutts Palace," the bounty hunter explained.

Hiccup then looked at him. "Who are you?"

The bounty hunter then removed his helmet and revealed himself to be none other than Astrid. "Someone who loves you."

Hiccup stared at her. "Astrid?" Astrid in weight any time kissing him and then she immediately helped him onto his feet. "I have to get you out of here."

Then suddenly they heard a laughter.

"I get the feeling that we're being watched," said Hiccup.

Then suddenly the curtain behind them drew open and they saw Nem'ro standing there with some of his cronies as well as K-9TV.

"What a romantic setting," Nem'ro chuckled. "I suspected that Ragnar would plan something to rescue his best friend, but I never would have imagined that the General of the resistance herself would appear."

Hiccup looked at Astrid. "General?"

"Long story," she said.

Hiccup shook his head and looked at Nem'ro. "Judging from your decor I take it that you have a fascination with Jedi."

Nem'ro laughed. "Indeed I do, as you can tell from my decor I have collected a vast amount of antiquities, yourself included." He then immediately looked at his guards. "Take him away."

Hiccup narrowed his eyes at Nem'ro. "You're making a big mistake."

Eret, still disguised as a guard, then approach Astrid with every intention of taking her away.

"Wait…" said Nem'ro as he looked at Astrid with fascination. "Bring her to me."

Eret very reluctantly brought Astrid to Nem'ro.

Astrid immediately narrowed her eyes at him. "We have very powerful friends. You're gonna regret this."

"Of that, I'm sure," said Nem'ro not looking the slightest bit concerned. "But, in the meantime, I shall enjoy the pleasure of your company."

Astrid groaned discussed as Nem'ro licked her.


Hiccup suddenly found himself being tossed in some sort of dungeon and that's when he heard a growling sound.

Hiccup immediately recognised the growling. "Toothless?"

Toothless then stepped into the light and gave him a cheerful roar. Toothless then wasted in no time in hugging Hiccup affectionately.

"Toothless, what in the world are you doing here?" Hiccup asked astonishingly.

Toothless gave him a growl.

"Rescue me?" Hiccup blinked and then he immediately looked around their cell. "You doing a good job so far, bud."

Toothless gave him a growl.

"You're saying this is all part of the plan?"

Toothless nodded.

"Who came up with this brilliant plan and please tell me it wasn't Snotlout?" Hiccup asked.

Toothless growled.

"Ragnar? This was Ragnar's plan?" Hiccup blinked astonishingly. "Well, despite the circumstances at least it's nice to see you."


The next morning, the doors of Nem'ro's palace opened and entering wearing a Jedi robe was Ragnar. A couple of guards immediately stood in his path, but he merely waved his hand and they allowed him to go by.

Ragnar then entered the audience chamber without any resistance, but then the Twi'lek immediately approached him.

"You are the one called Ragnar," he said as he blocked his path. "Nem'ro refuses to speak to you."

"I must speak to Nem'ro," said Ragnar as he waved his hand in front of the Twi'lek.

The Twi'lek nodded. "You must speak with Nem'ro." He then shook his head and looked at him. "But Nem'ro has refused your offer."

Ragnar waved his hand in front of him once again. "You will take me to Nem'ro now."

"I will take you to Nem'ro now," the Twi'lek nodded.

"You serve your master well," Ragnar smiled as they began to approach Nem'ro.

"I serve my master well."

"And you will be rewarded," Ragnar added.

The Twi'lek smiled greedily. "And I will be rewarded."

Soon Ragnar was standing in front of Nem'ro, he could sense that Astrid was lying in front of him and he could tell that she was very angry. Astrid was currently leaning against Nem'ro and was wearing a slave outfit as well as a collar with a chain which was attached to Nem'ro.

The Twi'lek then immediately approached Nem'ro and began to wake him. "Master."

Nem'ro woke up with a start, "What is it?"

"Jedi Master Ragnar is here to talk to you," said the Twi'lek.

Nem'ro narrowed his eyes at him. "Why did you let him in here?"

Ragnar waved his hand towards the Twi'lek. "I must be allowed to speak."

The Twi'lek looked at his master. "He must be allowed to speak."

Nem'ro grabbed him. "You weak-minded fool! He's using a Jedi mind trick on you!"

Then in anger he immediately tossed the Twi'lek onto the ground and Ragnar removed his hood.

"You shall handover Hiccup, Toothless and Astrid over to me," Ragnar demanded.

Nem'ro chuckled. "You have a lot of guts coming here, boy, and I admire that. But you are a fall in thinking that I will just hand over my prized collection over to you."

Ragnar looked at him. "I wanted to do this peacefully, but if I have to use force I will. I'm taking my friends, you can either proffered by this or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I advise you not underestimate my power."

K-9TV looked down at Ragnar's feet in horror. "Master Ragnar, you're standing on a—"

"There will be no bargain, young Jedi," Nem'ro roared as he pulled on Astrid's chain. "I shall enjoy watching you die, but I am merciful you get to join your friends before you do!"

Suddenly a trapdoor opened beneath Ragnar's feet and he soon found himself sliding down a tunnel.


Hiccup and Toothless were still inside their cell when suddenly dropping from the ceiling was Ragnar and immediately got up in surprise.

Hiccup blinked at him. "Nice of you to drop in."

Ragnar groaned as he picked himself up and turned towards Hiccup. "Hiccup, I would say it was nice to see you, but…" He then gestured to his eyes.

Hiccup raised his hands. "Yeah, I get it. So how was that rescue plan going?"

Ragnar shrugged. "As well as our other plans."

Hiccup groaned. "That bad, huh?"

Ragnar then sat down. "I suggest we make ourselves comfortable, I gathered from Nem'ro that he was planning to kill all of us."

Hiccup looked at him. "If he wanted to kill me why did he do it right away?"

"Perhaps he's decided that more Resistance members will show up," Ragnar soon as he folded his arms. "I'm guessing there were too much trouble then we we're and our heads would fetch a nice price to the First Order."

"Lovely," said Hiccup and looked at him. "Tell me is this plan of yours going at it supposed to?"

Ragnar scratched his head. "Not exactly, the plan was to free you from carbonite. However, we always suspected that getting you out would be hard so we wanted everyone in different positions. Sadly what I did not anticipate was Astrid been forced to join his harem."

Hiccup looked up. "What?"

Ragnar rubbed the back of his head. "Like I said, not going according to plan."

Hiccup looked at him. "I think you better tell me the rest of this plan before anything else goes wrong."
