Hiccup and the others were now in the elevator heading towards the landing pad.

"I hope you've got a good escape plan," said Astrid.

"We just have to wait until Toothless comes after picking up the others," said Hiccup.

"Hang on, but that means that we have to hold the landing area until they arrive," said Heather.

"Pretty much, but the twins cause a nice little distraction that should divert their attention," said Hiccup. "Also so they will be investigating why the shield generator has been deactivated."

"Scattering their forces," said Astrid looking quite impressed. "You thought of everything."

"Not quite," said Hiccup. "There is a little matter of Dagur."

Astrid and Heather frowned at each other and then looked at Hiccup. "Who?"

"That's Darth Derangus' true name," said Hiccup.

"You mean there's a chance that he could come after us," said Astrid.

"He may be crazy, but he's not stupid and you figure out what our plan is," said Hiccup grimly.

"So like usual aware making it up as we go along," said Ragnar.

"Yeah," Hiccup nodded. "But I do it beautifully."

Ragnar couldn't help but nodded in agreement.


Soon the elevator came to a halt and they found themselves in the landing pad and just as Hiccup predicted the Stormtroopers that had been guarding the area were now at the burning landing pad about a mile away.

"That's certainly a distraction," said Ragnar.

"The twins always do like to blow stuff up," said Heather.

"Now we just have to wait until Toothless comes back," said Hiccup.

"I hope this ship is good as you say it is, because we'll be dealing with the entire First Order fleet," said Astrid.

"One step at a time," said Hiccup.

They then heard a beeping noise and saw R3 making his way over to them. Hiccup then bent down and smiled at him.

"You okay?" he asked.

R3 beeped.

"Good, now we just have to wait," said Hiccup.

Unfortunately at that precise moment, the elevator opened up and Dagur emerged looking both insane and annoyed. He then his eyes fell upon Hiccup and gave him an insane smile.

"Brother! It's so nice to see you," said Dagur.

"'Brother'?" Astrid asked.

"Don't ask," said Hiccup.

"I'm impressed that you managed to get through the shield generator, but there again you always knew how to make an entrance," said Dagur. "It's nice to see that you haven't lost your touch."

"And I see you're still Drago's lackey," said Hiccup.

"I'm not his lackey I'm his right hand," said Dagur indignantly.

"Until he has no further use for you," said Hiccup. "The Sith betray one another, you can't help yourselves."

"Darth Imperious groomed me to be his backup plan in case his empire fell and to follow Darth Tyrantus as I would follow him," said Dagur.

"Then what about Viggo and Ryker?" Ragnar asked. "They can only be two, a master and apprentice."

"Darth Tyrantus feels that to Sith aren't enough to kill the Jedi is why he recruited them and they accepted his vision for saving this galaxy," said Dagur.

"That's exactly what Agent Eret said to me," said Astrid.

Hiccup sighed. "Do you really want to go through this, Dagur? Don't you remember the last time we fought?"

"How could I forget," said Dagur rubbing a hand across his scar. "I've been meaning to repay the favour."

"Astrid, Heather, you to better stand back me and Ragnar will deal with him," said Hiccup.

Astrid and Heather did as he said and moved clear between the two Jedi and the Sith Lord.

Hiccup and Ragnar drew out their lightsabers and Dagur to the same with his.

"Do you want the first move?" Ragnar asked.

"Yeah, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve," Hiccup smiled.

Hiccup then ran towards Dagur, who simply smirked as he raised his lightsaber, but then Hiccup deactivated the lightsaber in his left hand and fired several stun blasts from its guard. Dagur was quite shocked by this, but he was able to block it with his lightsaber.

"Hey!" Ragnar yelled. "Mine doesn't do that!"

Hiccup then reactivated his lightsaber and somersaulted over Dagur and swung the blade in his right hand at him. Dagur blocked it and then sidestepped as Hiccup thrusted the blade in his left hand.

Ragnar then charged at Dagur and raised his blade, but raised his left hand and shot lightning from it. Ragnar held up his lightsaber quickly blocked the lightning, it however did cause him to push backwards as he tried to hold his ground.

Hiccup then surprised Dagur by kicking him with his right leg and Astrid noticed that struck him a lot harder than he should have. Dagur looked as if the wind had been knocked right out of him as he clutched his chest.

"While expecting the old metal leg, were you?" said Hiccup.

Astrid's eyes widened when she heard that Hiccup had a prosthetic leg and began to wonder how he lost it. Astrid then saw that the elevator was active and realise there are about to have awoken committee of Stormtroopers.

She quickly raised her blaster and fired a shot at the control panel blowing it to pieces trapping the troopers inside it. This, however, was a temporary fix, since all they have to do was scale the walls and pry open the doors.

"Guys! We can't stay here for long!" Astrid yelled.

"We know," said Hiccup as he charged at Dagur again this time bringing both lightsaber down on top of him.

Dagur quickly raised his lightsaber to block it and out of the corner of his eye he could see Ragnar charging at him once more. He quickly jumped out of the way and Ragnar stopped just in time before his blade touched Hiccup's face.

Dagur then landed behind them and used the Force to push them away. Two of them then slammed into the wing of a TIE Fighter.

"I've improved since last we fought," said Dagur as he advanced towards them. "Shane the said can't be said for the two of you."

Heather wish you could do something and then she noticed the lightsaber Muz had given her was hanging from Dagur's belt. She outstretched hand and concentrated upon the lightsaber, which moved.

It then detached itself from Dagur's belt and flew straight towards her. Then before Astrid could stop her Heather jumped out of their hiding place and ran straight towards Dagur. She grabbed the lightsaber and activated it.

Dagur quickly turned and blocked her swing just in the nick of time. He then looked deep within her eyes and he sent something familiar about her and then his eyes widened.

"You can't be—"

Suddenly he was pushed backwards and slammed right into the elevator. Heather turned and saw that Ragnar was on his feet and just used a Force Push to send Dagur flying.

"The left!" Astrid yelled pointing at the elevator.

They turned and saw that someone was cutting their way through and their willing to bear that they were Stormtroopers.

"Where are you, Toothless," said Hiccup desperately.

Dagur just got onto his feet and charged at them once more, but then something hit his chest and he fell to his knees. Everyone turned and saw The Night Fury just appearing from underneath the landing pad with a cargo bay doors open and Toothless standing there with a smoking crossbow.

"The time is impeccable, bud!" Hiccup yelled.

Toothless then roared and gestured for them to hurry up.

"Let's move!" Hiccup yelled.

All of them began running towards The Night Fury just as the elevator doors opened and two Stormtroopers are merged from them. Hiccup then pointed his lightsaber and fired several stun blasts at them, knocking them to the ground.

Once they reached the edge of the landing pad they jumped and landed on the deck.

"Let's get out of here!" Hiccup yelled.

Dagur looked up and looked at Heather one last time before the cargo bay doors opened and they soared up into the sky.

"My Lord, are you all right?" a Stormtrooper asked.

"Inform Grand Admiral Thrawn to shoot at a Corellian XS Stock light freighter and prepare my fighter!" Dagur roared.

"Yes, sir," said the trooper.

He then looked up at The Night Fury. "You're not getting away from me this time, Hiccup."


Meanwhile on, The Night Fury, Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless were making their way to the cockpit and found Fishlegs flying, slightly nervously, and Snotlout as his co-pilot.

"Move," said Hiccup.

"Gladly," said Fishlegs.

"Toothless, you're my co-pilot," said Hiccup. "Captain and need you a navigation."

Astrid sat down next to the navigational controls, she didn't often take this role, but it was clear that Hiccup was an experienced pilot and since he didn't know about her abilities he could only trust the only person he knew to act as his co-pilot Toothless, like she trusted Heather.

Hiccup then activated the comms. "And I'm gonna need someone on the guns!"

"On it!" the twins yelled.

They then made their way down to guns just as they entered into space.

Just like Hiccup predicted there were several Star Destroyers in orbit, he noticed that they were naturally firing at him and only sent a few dozen TIE Fighters at them.

"I only send those many fighters after us?" Astrid frowned.

"Because they want us alive," said Hiccup.

"You sure you can fly this thing?" Astrid asked.

"If anyone can drive a bucket of bolts through hyperspace, it's Hiccup," said Ragnar.

"Hold on!" Hiccup yelled.


On the deck of a Star Destroyer was a Chriss, a blue skinned humanoid with pure red eyes. He watched as he saw The Night Fury exit the atmosphere. This was Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of the few nonhuman alien species in command of the First Order.

"Concentrate fire on that ship just enough to deactivate their shields, Lord Derangus wants them alive, and ready the tractor beams," he commanded.

"Yes, sir," said an officer.

Then also exiting from the planet was a never fighter, but unlike the TIEs this one was completely different. For starters the wings were specially folded allowing it to move faster than the other TIEs and unlikely other TIEs this one actually had life-support systems and shields.

"I'm coming to get you, Hiccup," said Dagur as he flew in closer towards The Night Fury.


The twins were blasting TIEs out of the sky with the main guns and that's when they noticed Dagur's fighter heading towards them. They quickly turned the guns on him, but he moved so graciously that he avoided every single one of their shots.

"Hey! We can't let this guy!" Tuffnut yelled.

"That's because that's Dagur's fighter," said Hiccup.

Dagur began to fire several shots at The Night Fury, it also moved graciously to avoid the majority of the blasts, but because of its bulk several of them did actually hit the hull.

"I thought you said this ship was the fastest in the galaxy," said Snotlout.

"It is," said Hiccup.

"In case you've forgotten, Snotlout, the guy piloting that fighter also uses the Force," Heather pointed out.

"We don't have to beat him, I just need a clear run so we can make to hyperspace," said Hiccup.

"Then why getting close to those Star Destroyers?" Fishlegs asked quivering noticing that they were getting pretty close to two Star Destroyers.

Astrid turned and saw what he was up to. "I see we're going with this," she said.

"R3 angle all deflectors to stern," said Hiccup.

R3 inserted his pike into a dataport and began turning it and beeped.

On one of the Star Destroyer, Grand Admiral Thrawn watched as The Night Fury flew straight towards them.

"Target coming into range," said an officer.

"Activate tractor beam on my signal," said Thrawn.

Hiccup guided the ship close and close it towards the Star Destroyers making quite a few people in the ship nervous.

"Hiccup," said Ragnar.

"Wait… wait…" said Hiccup as the entered into the path of the Star Destroyers.

"Now!" Thrawn ordered.

"Gotta, yeah," Hiccup smiled and activated the hyperdrive.

Instantly they entered into hyperspace just as the Star Destroyers activated their tractor beams, but instead of capturing The Night Fury, which entered into hyperspace a brief second earlier, they caught Dagur's fighter.

"Status report, on the Resistance craft" said Thrawn.

The officer manning the tractor beam looked at in nervously. "Sir, we've locked onto a ship, but it's not the Resistance craft it's Lord Derangus."

Everyone on the bridge of the Star Destroyer looked horrified upon this news, even Thrawn had a twinge of fear, but he quickly recovered.

"Release him immediately," Thrawn commanded. The officer manning the tractor beam switched it off at once. "It's not your fault officer…" The officer looked quite relieved, "but Lord Derangus won't know that."


Meanwhile on board, The Night Fury everyone inside were deeply relaxed as they entered through hyperspace back to Berk.

"That was a close one," said Fishlegs looking relieved.

"I can't believe you tricked them into trapping Dagur in their own tractor beam," said Astrid staring at Hiccup. "That was a risky move."

"But the most unexpected one, which is what I was going for," said Hiccup.

"Surprise has always been Hiccup favoured strategy," Ragnar explained.

"Anyway, I never got the chance to thank you for rescuing both me and Heather," said Astrid.

"You're quite welcome Captain," Hiccup smiled.

"Please just call me, Astrid," said Astrid.

"Okay, Astrid," said Hiccup. He then turned and looked at them. "Listen I think that both you and Heather should have a lie down you've been through a lot today."

"Good idea," said Heather who still recovering from her torture. "She hadn't realised how exhausted she had been until they got on board The Night Fury.

"Here, let me," said Ragnar placed a hand on her. A bright light then appeared on his hand and Heather automatically felt the strength coming back.

"How did you—?"

"I was the best healer in the Jedi Order," Ragnar explained.

"Come on," said Astrid making away over to Heather. "Let's take you somewhere more quiet."

Hiccup and Ragnar watched as Astrid and Heather left the cockpit and was soon followed by Fishlegs and Snotlout. Once they were gone the quickly looked at one another.

"You haven't told about the lightsaber yet have you," said Hiccup.

"No, but there's something else you should know," said Ragnar. "When she touched that she had these visions and they seem to focus around Dagur and according to her they were quite clear. You know that I can only mean one thing."

"Best not to tell until she's more adept with the Force," said Hiccup. "I mean can you imagine what that revelation could do to her if she's untrained."

"Yes," Ragnar nodded. "Discovering that Dagur is her older brother would endanger her."
