A/N: Alright guys I'm just going to say sorry right now. This chapter is really short but I just needed to get something out there and couldn't make you guys wait any longer. The next one will be better I promise. Thanks to all those who reviewed the last chapter, and while it seemed like that I was drawing from past experience I can gladly say ( is that the right word to use?) that I have never had to attend a child's funeral and I hope to keep it that way as well. This chapter will mostly be from Astrid's POV, thought it was time to switch it up.

Darknight2124- I'm glad you can feel the emotion I tried to put into the last chapter hopefully you can feel it as well in this one. This one though won't be as hard hitting.

CB73- Glad to hear from you my man, Shan has no idea what is coming his way. He should have finished the job while he had the chance.

maddmann1991- I can promise that this is not from a past experience at a child's funeral. I plan on keeping it that way as well. Glad you liked the chapter I was tearing up when I wrote it. This one should give your a break from the strings being pulled.

Guest- I am so sorry that you had to experience that. I can only imagine what kind of pain that family must have actually felt. I hope that me writing the last chapter isn't disrespectful in anyway.

Alright so we got a few more responses this time which is awesome. The more of them I see the faster I will put out new chapters remember that one guys as you can see I read them all.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Mexican ;p

Hiccup left as the fire reached the half-way point on the pyre. Carth's body had longed since been turned to and his soul had returned to the stars. Astrid couldn't leave though, her body felt rooted to the ground as she stood next to her two daughters. She had seen Hiccup's face turn from a look on anguish to one of rage as soon as the fire started and she couldn't blame him. She felt the same rage he did she had just been too overwhelmed with everything to think of it.

The image of her son dying now engrained in her mind and the man responsible getting away ate at her soul like a mynock on power cables. The soft sounds of her daughters sobbing broke her out of her thoughts for a moment as she looked down at the heart wrenching scene. Mission stood behind Meetra her arms over the little ones shoulders holding her close as she leaned her head down trying to console her the best she could. Seeing the pain that her daughters were in only fueled the fire in Astrid's belly to find the man who caused and make him pay for it.

The fire burned itself out to nothing more than smoldering coals that looked like a physical representation of how seething Astrid was. Regaining the function in her legs Astrid moved away from the pyre and walked back into the house but not before kneeling down to the girls to tell them to follow her inside. She was still deathly afraid that if she left them alone, even with Toothless and Luna, that something horrible would happen to them and she just wouldn't be able to handle that.

Mission nodded numbly and gently moved Meetra with her toward the house. The youngest sibling turned her head to look at the remains of the pyre for as long as possible until it became impossible for her head to turn back that much. With the precession of girls walking back to the house the near impossible task of trying to move on had already begun and now was staring them in the face daring them to take the first step.

As they walked through the doors it already seemed like the house refused to light up as brightly as it did before, or perhaps that was how they all saw things now, just a little less bright. Astrid stopped in the doorway and watched her daughters walk down the hall their heads down and steps labored. It broke her heart and sent her anger through the roof again at seeing her daughter in such a sullen state. She knew she needed to find Hiccup and find him fast, she wanted to know what they were going to do and when they were going to do it.

She started her search in a few places that she figured he would be. She looked in the medical bay, Carth's room, and even the spot where he died and still nothing. Astrid was starting to get frustrated with the size of their house for the first time in the five years that they had been living there. Her brow furrowed in thought trying to figure out where Hiccup could possibly be her thoughts were broken by the sound of metal being and sparks crackling as they hit the metal floor.

Looking up she noticed that she was standing in front of the small repair shop that was located at the far end of the house. Figuring that it would be Hiccup she tried to come up with reasons as to why he would be down here in the repair instead of literally anywhere else where he could mourn. Opening the door she was forced to shield her eyes as the plasma cutter's blinding light flooded into the hallway. Feeling her was across the room she found a mask and quickly threw it on. Her eyes now protected from the intense light she finally spotted Hiccup right next to the table and staring down at whatever was being cut out of the metal.

As quickly as it began the light was gone and the machine died down. Removing her mask Astrid made her way over to Hiccup's form and looked down at what he had just made. It confused her for a moment as she couldn't figure out why Hiccup would make a cutting that was engraved with the Mandalorian skull just like their tattoos and a small ring to go with it. She placed a hand on her husband's shoulder and his form tensed up as it was clear that he did not expect her to be right there next to him. He slowly relaxed to the feeling of her presence and acknowledged her with slight head turn before looking back down at what he had created. He picked up a pair of tongs and soaked the two pieces in some water to cool them down so he could handle them with his hands. He walked over to a table and started to grind and polish the pieces to shiny finish. Astrid having finally found her voice stopped Hiccup by grabbing his hands and had him look up at her.

"Hiccup what are you doing?" She asked softly.

"I'm making a symbol." He replied coolly.

"Symbol for what?" Astrid asked.

"Fear." Hiccup answered back his voice dripping with rage.

"What are you planning Hiccup?" Astrid asked with a warning tone to not leave her in the dark.

"I'm going to hunt Shan down like the animal that he is I don't care how long it take and I don't care where he is. I will find him and when I do I will unleash upon him a rage the likes of which this galaxy as ever seen. I will rain down every conceivable agony upon his pitiful excuse of a body until I have him begging for death." Hiccup seethed out as he stared at the symbol he just engraved.

"I will find out how he found us and who sent him to us and jettison them into the cold hell that is space and anyone that stands in my way will be sent back to him with this burned into their skin. That Astrid is what I am going to do." He finished as he moved to make his way out of the room.

Astrid stopped him by grabbing one of his wrists and locking her eyes with his. She could see the unbridled rage that was swimming in them, the icy glare that had replaced the kind and loving eyes that he once held. It should have scared her to see such a shift in his eyes but it didn't, all she could think of was how much her own eyes must have mirrored the look.

"What we are going to do Hiccup." Astrid corrected him.

Hiccup's eyes widened at the declaration. His thoughts escaped him for a moment before he shook his head and brought himself back to the present. He looked down at Astrid before looking at the door that led back to the hallway that would lead them to their daughter's room. Accepting that there she would follow him anyway he let out a sigh before turning to her.

"What about the girls?" He asked.

"I figured we could take them with us and leave them on Onderon with Avida and the rest of the old squad." Astrid said having already given this some thought.

"Did you really think I would stay here with them while you went gallivanting around the galaxy on the hunt for this sorry bastard?" Astrid asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"I don't know what I thought. All I knew was that I was going to find him and kill him. Not much else made its way into my mind to be honest with you." Hiccup stated as he made his way over to a welding station and placed the ring on the back of the engraved metal.

He welded the two items together and tested it out by placing it on his ring finger to make sure he got the size correct. Satisfied that he did it right he stuffed the symbol into a bag and walked out of the room. Astrid followed him closely as he made his way up the stairs and into their room and pulled out a medium sized suit case. He started to pack it with clothes, rifle clips for his sniper, pieces to fix his arm, and replacement parts for it and his rifle. Astrid quickly caught on and started to do the same thing. It only took them 20 minutes to pack up what they needed and make their way down to the armory where their armor and weapons were. They strapped on their armor and slung their respective rifles over their shoulders. Hiccup attached the Dark Saber to his hip and dropped the newly crafted ring into one of the pockets of his armor, while Astrid sheathed her vibrosword across her back. They walked out the armory suitcases in hand and made their way to the Nightfury they quickly loaded up their gear and told Toothless and Luna of their plan. The dragons in their grief easily agreed to it and made their way onto the ship.

Hiccup and Astrid walked back into the house and made their way to the room that held their daughter's. They were cuddled together on the bed as silent tears flowed from their eyes as they stared at pictures of their brother. The sight burned Hiccup and Astrid and made them more determined than ever to hunt down the man that brought this pain upon their family. Quietly they both entered the room and knelt down at the bed. Mission and Meetra looked up and saw that their parents were dressed in their armor and gave questioning looks to each other.

"Where are you guys going?" Meetra asked her voice still quivering as tears flowed down her small face.

Hiccup brushed them away with his thumb before giving her a sad smile, the only one he could muster at the moment.

"We are going to Onderon Meetra. Mommy and daddy have something very important to do there and we need to make sure that you and Mission are safe. So we are going to drop you guys off with your Aunt Heather, Ruff, Cami, Tuff, Fishlegs, and Avida." Hiccup replied.

"You guys are going to go after him aren't you." Mission stated. She knew what they were going to do.

Hiccup and Astrid didn't answer they just looked at their daughters before looking back at each other. Mission nodded her head and told Meetra that they needed to start packing. Hiccup and Astrid stood up and told them to make their way to the ship once they were done. As time ticked by Hiccup went and pulled out four small canvas bags and went out to the funeral site to see that the coals had died down to nothing but ashes now. He scooped up the ashes with his hands and filled the bags evenly just as his family walked out of the house. He tied his own bag to his waist before handing each of them their own bag.

"To keep him close." Hiccup said softly.

They all nodded as they boarded the ship in silence. Hiccup and Astrid took off and punched in the coordinates for Onderon as the stars turned into star lines and they entered hyperspace they started to plan how they would go about hunting down Shan.
