Skull was doing the torpedo which was rushing down towards the planet and soon it began to scare down a mountain which was quite rough for Skull. Soon they came to a stop much to his relief and Skull opened the fuel container.
Unfortunately, when he sat out he discovered that he was on the edge of a cliff that stretched for about 30 miles. He quickly climbed out of the torpedo and jumped just as the torpedo slid off the edge.
Fortunately, he was able to grab hold of the ledge by the skin of his teeth and began to pull himself up.
Elsewhere, Hiccup and his pod landed in the forest and he began to grab his supplies. Communicate and a blaster, which was set for kill.
"Help!" a voice cried.
Hiccup quickly rushed over towards the voice and found the Fishlegs and Kalara's pods landed not too far way. Hiccup then marched over towards Kalara angrily.
"You knew," he glared. "You knew we would be attacked!"
"You don't understand," said Kalara quickly.
Hiccup then pulled out his glass and aimed it at Kalara.
"Hiccup!" Fishlegs yelled rushing over to him. He then noticed Hiccup aiming his blaster at Kalara. "What are you doing?"
"Getting answers," said Hiccup. He then looked at Kalara. "Tell the truth, you knew we would be attacked."
"Yes," Kalara admitted. "I lied. Our ship was attacked."
"Fishlegs, check the comms for survivors," Hiccup ordered.
Fishlegs nodded. "Aye, sir."
Hiccup looked at Kalara with a fixed glare. "Who is he?"
"His name is Drago Bludvist," said Kalara fearfully. "He took my crew, like he took yours."
"How did he know so much about the Dragon's Edge?" Hiccup asked.
"All I know is that if I did this… he would set them free," said Kalara.
Hiccup remained silent as Fishlegs began standing for any signals. "Fishlegs, you are picking anything up on the scanners?"
Fishlegs sighed. "Nothing." He then looked at Hiccup. "What if they…?"
Hiccup knew what was about to say. "No. He was taking them. We have to find that saucer even the minimal scanning systems will have a lot more range than a triquarter."
"All right," Fishlegs nodded. "It is possible."
Kalara gave him a pleading look. "Captain… I was protecting my crew."
Hiccup lowered his blaster.
Elsewhere in the forest Astrid had just emerged from her pod and grabbed her equipment. She then noted another pod in the distance and quickly rushed to it. The pod door open and Windshear sat up looking slightly dazed.
"Doctor, you are right?" Astrid asked.
"I'm fine," Windshear assured. "Though I am a bit shaken up."
"Good, because we have to keep moving," said Astrid. She then looked at Windshear curiously. "You have any idea why they would want the artefact?"
Windshear shrugged. "I don't know, but Hiccup mentioned that fibona said that it was part of the ancient weapon device."
"So, you think that's the reason why they attacked us, because they want a piece of an old weapon?" Astrid frowned.
"The only thing that makes sense," Windshear shrugged as her grabbed the gear. "After you Lieutenant."
Astrid nodded and led Windshear as far away from the pods as possible.
Meanwhile in a crevice all the strange ships were now converging into a small base. All the crewmembers that had been captured were now walking down a single line into the base as prisoners.
Heather had been inside Drago's ship and was now finally allowed to exit. She found herself standing in some sort of hub and saw Manas looking at Drago.
"We are searching for the Captain," he said in his alien language.
Drago looked at Heather. "What is your name?" he said in English.
Heather turned towards him. "How do you know our language?"
"I know your kind," said Drago.
"I am Lieutenant Heather of the USS Dragon's Edge," said Heather simply. "And you have committed an act of war against the Federation."
"Federation?" Drago scoffed. "The Federation is an act of war."
Heather narrowed her eyes. "You attacked us."
Drago looked at her curiously. "You're Captain… Why did you sacrifice yourself for him?"
"He would have done the same," said Heather bluntly. "And if he made it off that ship he will come for us."
Drago leaned in closer towards her. "I'm counting on it, Lieutenant Heather."
Meanwhile in the rocky mountain ranges, Ragnar and Toothless' ship had crash landed and Ragnar was the process of pulling himself out.
"Well, any landing you walk away from is a good one," he said.
"I don't agree with that statement, Doctor," said Toothless as he pulled himself out to reveal any large piece of shrapnel had punctured his stomach.
"Odin's beard," Ragnar gasped and helped him out. He then guided him towards the edge of the ship. "Sit down here."
Ragnar then gently placed and down as carefully as possible. "Okay… so, just… uh, try and relax. You're going to be okay."
"Your tone suggests otherwise," said Toothless.
"Just relax," said Ragnar.
"We have no time to relax," said Toothless as he pulled himself up.
Ragnar quickly stopped him. "What do you think you're doing?"
"We have to keep moving, Doctor."
"Toothless, you've got a large piece of metal punctured in your stomach," Ragnar reminded.
"Time is a critical factor."
"That's what I'm trying to tell you," said Ragnar calmly. "If I don't take this out you're going to die, if I take it out and can't stop the bleeding you're going to die."
"I can see neither appeal in either option," said Toothless as he finally started to relax.
"Which is why I need you to relax so I can operate," said Ragnar. He then made his way to the ship to salvage any pieces he could use one emergency operation. "If I remember my dragkain biology correctly, your people have your heart where humans have their livers."
"That is correct, Doctor," said Toothless and Ragnar returned with a busted rifle one of the robots held.
"You're quite lucky," said Ragnar as he began to remove pieces of the ship. "One inch to the left and you would be dead already."
"I don't exactly call my current situation lucky," Toothless groaned. "We are currently stranded on an unknown hostile planet, our crew was scattered or either captured by an unknown and powerful enemy and I have a large piece of shrapnel wedged in my stomach."
"I suppose the situation could improve," Ragnar nodded. He then began to slam lock onto the rifle trying to get an operational. "I don't suppose you have any idea what they want with the artefact from the fibonas?"
"Clearly it is far more important than we had previously thought," said Toothless. "It could very well be piece of in ancient weapon, a weapon this new enemy appears to possess or why else would they attack."
"I suppose, but how did they know that we got it?" Ragnar frowned.
"A very good question, Doctor," Toothless agreed. "Unfortunately, with the limited information we have I cannot come to a conclusion."
"Right now getting you back to fighting shape is a priority," said Ragnar as he finally got the rifle to work.
He then used it to heat a piece of metal he acquired from the ship until it was white hot. He then made his way over to Toothless.
"Okay, Toothless, I just got one question for you," he said. "What's your favourite colour?"
Toothless frowned at him. "I failed to see the relevance—"
Ragnar then pulled out the shrapnel and the hot piece of metal onto his stomach. Toothless screams could be heard all across the canyon as he felt the heart metal burning against his flesh and scales.
"Sorry about that," said Ragnar as he tossed the shrapnel when. "But it is said that it hurts less if it a surprise."
"I think I can tell you honestly that I find that theory to be shit," Toothless groaned.
Ragnar smiled, but then he looked up into the sky. "We've got to get out of here."
He then grabbed Toothless' arm and the two of them began to make their way away from the ruined ship.
Skull meanwhile had finally managed to reach the bottom of the mountain. He was in such a rush to get out of the torpedo he was unable to grab any of his equipment like his weapons and communicator.
He soon found the ruins of the torpedo began to salvage anything he could from it. Unfortunately, it was pretty much wrapped and when he tried to grab his communicated practically fell apart in his hand.
"Great, I'm alone and stranded," he grumbled.
He then soon discover that he wasn't alone as several thuggish aliens are merged. They were speaking in an unknown alien language and the holding their weapons threateningly.
"My name is Skull and might I ask for your names?" Skull asked.
One of the aliens, who he assumed to be the leader, brushes hand against his weapon and said something in the strange alien language. Skull do know what he had said, but he had a feeling that it wasn't anything pleasant.
"You want a fight, I'll give you a fight," said Skull raising his arms.
Then suddenly he heard a female voice speaking a strange alien language. Then emerging from the vortex was a white skinned female alien with black markings on her eyes. One looked from her could tell anyone not to mess with her, but the three of aliens didn't look as impressed.
They began to have a conversation with one another, a conversation that Skull was unable to understand. Though judging from the looks on alien leader it was quite apparent that he had just insulted him.
She then saw several discs alongside the aliens and next second two copies of herself appeared out of nowhere. Then they began to fight, it became clear to Skull that the two copies were actually able to hit the thugs.
It was also clear that the thugs were out matched as female alien ran around them swinging her bo staff. Skull watched as one of her copies managed to get her legs around one of the aliens next and pinned him down.
One of the aliens then charged at the copy, but went straight through it and slammed into the other alien. She then hit them both with her bo staff in a very skilful manner and then pulled a knife out pointing it at the leader.
She began to talk to him in a threatening way and kicked one of the aliens on the ground. Clearly they have enough as they began to walk away looking badly bruised and her copies faded away.
"Nice form," said Skull.
He then saw the alien making their way to the torpedo and became clear that he was looking for salvage.
"That Starfleet property you can't just take it," he said, but then she drew her knife at him. "On the other hand it is just salvage."
The alien then looked down on the bad on his uniform and then back up to him. "Where did you get that," she said in English gesturing to his badge.
Skull blinked. "Is that English?"
"I learned it from my house, where did you get that?" she asked pointing at the badge again.
"My Starfleet insignia?" Skull stared.
"What does it mean?"
"It means I'm an officer of Starfleet, engineering division."
She started at him. "Engineering?"
"Yes, I fix things," said Skull doing a hand gesture.
She gave him a cold glare. "I know what is engineering."
He then watched as she picked up more salvage. "You are not with those that attacked my ship, are you?"
In response she spat at the ground.
"I take that as a no."
"He is Drago. He and his bees search the stars for death machine. They are the reason why you're here," she explained. "Why we are all here?"
"Even those thugs back there?" Skull gestured.
She nodded. "They have fallen from the sky like me and you." She then looked around and then back at Skull. "Come with me. Now."
"Hang on, miss, I'm having a difficult day here," said Skull as she picked up her bo staff. "I have to find my crewmates."
She looked back at him. "I will help you find your mates and then you will help me."
"With what?" Skull asked curiously. She then their hand gesture with bo staff, the same one he performed a few months ago. "You want me to fix something?"
She nodded. "Yes, you help me and I hope you."
Skull rubbed his chin, he can say that he trusted her, but there again she did just hope out of a tricky spot. Plus there was also the fact that he was all alone and she would know the terrain a lot better than he would.
"Considering my predicament I don't think I'll get a better offer so lead the way," said Skull.
"Good. I am Jaylah and you are Skull," she said.
"Pleasure to meet you," said Skull.
"Then come, Skull."
Jaylah then walked away and Skull quickly followed her.
Meanwhile, Hiccup, Fishlegs and Kalara were making their way back to the remains of the Dragon's Edge. They soon reached the hill and saw the saucer lying down in the ground.
Fishlegs just stared. "The Dragon's Edge." He then looked at Hiccup. "She may not even have power to the bridge, Hiccup."
"She still has a few tricks up her sleeve," said Hiccup. "I bet on it."
Elsewhere Astrid and Windshear were making their way through the forest and still found no signs of anyone.
"So no signs of anyone," said Windshear looking around. "You know it could be possible that we are the only ones that they didn't capture."
Astrid looked at her and couldn't find a way to argue with her. Then they saw three escape pods in the distance.
"Escape pods!" she yelled.
Without hesitation the two of them ran towards the parts, but found it completely empty.
"No one here," said Windshear.
Astrid then noticed some trampled leaves on the ground and leaned in closer to get a better look. "Someone was definitely here a few moments ago. Judging from the supplements I have to say there are three of them."
"You think it's members of our crew?" Windshear asked.
"I received three sets of footprints and they're not deep enough for anyone to carry anyone," said Astrid. "If Hiccup or anyone managed to escape they would make their way to the remainders of the Dragon's Edge."
"That place could be well guarded," said Windshear.
"It doesn't matter," said Astrid. "We have to follow these tracks we want to catch up with them."
Meanwhile, Ragnar and Toothless were making their way through the mountains. Ragnar had to still support Toothless, who haven't completely recovered from the operation. He then grabbed his communicator hoping to get some sort of signal.
"Ragnar to Dragon's Edge, come in," said Ragnar. He got no signal. "Ragnar to Dragon's Edge. Still not been any saw that Toothless was pushing himself too hard. "Careful, Toothless that was only a temporary fix."
"I understand, Doctor," said Toothless.
They made their way through a small cave then saw a structure in the distance which looked man-made.
"Fascinating," said Toothless.
"You think there's something in there?" Ragnar asked.
"I do not know, but it is preferable then standing in the open," said Toothless as he made his way over to the structure.
"Good point," Ragnar nodded.
They soon entered into the structure which had some sort of writing on the walls in a strange alien dialect. They also appear to be some sort of altering the middle.
"These symbols are the same as those on the artefact taken in the attack," said Toothless.
"You think it came from here?" Ragnar asked.
"It would seem so."
Toothless then doubled over in pain and collapsed.
Ragnar quickly rushed to his side. "Easy, Toothless," he said as he lay him down gently."
Meanwhile Skull was still following Jaylah towards a mountain range.
"Hurry," she said.
"Are we there yet?" Skull asked.
"Stop asking that," she said.
"Sorry."
"Through here," said Jaylah as she made her way over towards the cave. "And what your steps you do not want to set off my traps."
Skull then realise that he passed through a holographic projector. "That's clever," he noted. Skull looked around and found that he was now standing in some sort of metal corridor. "What is this place?"
"This is my house," said Jaylah.
"Your house?" Skull blinked. He then realise that he recognised the layout of the caudal. "Hang on a minute, is this a ship?"
Jaylah continue to walk. "I'll help you find your friends and you help me fix it." She then grabbed the torch and looked back at Skull. "So I can leave this planet forever."
"Hang on, is this your ship?" Skull asked following her.
"No, Skull," said Jaylah as she shone her torch up the wall. "It's yours."
Skull's eyes widened as he stared at the wall. "By the eternal fire."
The torch was shining over a rusty metal insignia that the pictures and the Starfleet symbol and next to it were series of words. The word said: USS Hiccup.
