A/N: I know two chapters in one day what the hell is the author thinking. He is thinking he should give you all a treat for the weekend.(offers cookies and milk) ;p. Hope you like it
No rest for the weary indeed. We were flying down the corridors of the ship making our way to the bridge to come up with a plan for a counter attack with the Captain. We had left the control room about ten minutes ago and now had finally reached the lift that would take us to the bridge. On the way there we were filled with as much joy as the day we first saw the 501st marching down the streets. Stormtroopers squad after squad running through the corridors. It was nice to see some actual humans once again. The ride on the lift was short and there was a short corridor to a pair of blast doors, jogging to the doors they slid open and there around a holo-table was the Captain and the rest of the command crew.
The holo-table was projecting a hologram of the battle field showing the position of the three Interdictor in relation to The Leviathan. The Captain looked up from the table to see that we had entered the bridge.
"Ahh Sgt. Major, I take it that the hangar has been secured? He inquired.
"Yes sir, it was all thanks to these two recruits were it not for them I don't think I would be standing here right now." He replied evenly.
The captain looked over to us to see who the hell the Sgt. Major was talking about. Meeting our eyes his jaw about it the floor and eyes grew to the size of stars. Shaking his head and regaining himself he began to address us.
"Well I don't know how the hell you two kids managed to pull that off but rest assured that when this is all over you and I will be having a little discussion about what happened in the hangar. Now since you are here with the Sgt. Major I'm going to assume neither of you are complete morons on the battlefield so I'm open to any suggestions as to how we are going to destroy those ships and get the hell outta here." He ordered.
The men around the table had grown silent either to think of a strategy of their own or still in shock at hearing that Hiccup and Astrid and cleared out the entire hangar. One of the men started to speak.
"Sir since the boarding party has been defeated couldn't we simply open fire on the ships to destroy the gravity wells and escape to hyperspace?"
"As tempting as that sounds Lt. there are just too many ships compared to our own they would break our shields and destroy the ship long before we could destroy the gravity wells." The Captain replied
The table went silent again before Hiccup spoke up about five minutes later.
"Sir what if we took our own boarding craft to just one of the ships take it over and turn that ship on a collision course with the other two or at the very least one of them?" He threw out.
"A fine idea Hiccup but how do you propose we get the boarding craft to said ship without it getting blown to space debris?" The Captain asked.
"Well there are two possible ways that I was thinking of. One on the off chance you have a ship on board that has a cloaking device on it we could use that. Two being launch our fighters and bombers and use them as a distraction for the boarding craft to get close to enough to the ship relatively undetected." Hiccup replied.
The Captain seemed to ponder over these two options for a good minute trying to either remember if they had a ship with a cloaking device or if the ships they would surely lose in the ensuing dogfight would be worth it. Turning to Hiccup with a smile he gave us our orders.
"You are in luck Haddock, it just so happens that the Nightfury the latest in the long line of Lancer-Class pursuit craft is on board and it just so happens to have a cloaking device." The Captain beamed.
"Now Mr. Haddock here is what you are going to do you are going to assemble a strike force of 30 men since that is all the more the ship can hold, land in the hangar bay of the closest ship storm your way to the bridge and set that ship on a collision course as you have suggested." The Captain ordered.
Just as the Captain finished giving is order the comm system began to light up with an incoming message.
"Sir there appears to be an incoming message from one of the ships sir" A crew member shouted at us.
"Put it through and let us see what they have to say." The Captain replied confidently.
A small hologram appeared in the center of the table, the hologram was that of a Rodian. It didn't take long for him to start making demands.
"Hello there Captain, how nice to see you today." The Rodian greeted us sarcastically
"Let's dispense with the pleasantries and just tell me what the hell you want." The Captain was in no mood for this.
"Right to the point I like that, very well Captain what I want is that ship of yours and since you can't jump to hyperspace and you can't call for help and you are severely out gunned you are not in much of a position to deny or demand anything else of us. So either give us the ship or we blow you all to kingdom come you have one hour." Before the Captain could respond the hologram faded away.
"Damnit!" The Captain shouted, slamming his fist on the table.
He turned to Hiccup and Astrid with a determined look in his eyes and his brow furrowing.
"Get you team assembled, get your asses down to the hangar board that ship and blow him straight to hell we are on a time crunch now move Haddock!" The Captain ordered.
Turning to the Sgt. Major Hiccup looked him dead in the eyes and told him
"Sgt. Major I'm going to want those same men who were with us in the hangar and I'm assuming you can find the eight more we need. Tell them to gear up and prepare to board." With that Hiccup turned to the Captain.
"Which hangar is the ship in sir?" He asked
"Hangar 28" The Captain replied
Hiccup nodded and headed out the door back toward the lift with Astrid and the Sgt. Major in tow to prepare their counter strike.
