Ragnar was busy meditating in the Resistance base suddenly his thoughts were centred upon Wrath as well as everything he said about the Father, Daughter and Son. He then suddenly began having visions of the Jedi Temple on a planet he had never been to, he saw what looked like a large wall roaming around the planes and a mysterious door opening.

Ragnar immediately opened his eyes. "It's begun."


Ragnar soon made his way to the command centre where he found Astrid and Hiccup talking.

"Still no sign of Wrath?" Hiccup asked.

Astrid shook her head. "No sign and Chancellor Organa sources haven't found anything either. Are you positive that he said that he could change time?"

Hiccup shrugged. "I don't know if it's possible, but even we Jedi don't fully understand the Force. I don't think anyone understands it completely or why certain people are able to harness it. The only thing I know is that even if there are small possibility that he's right we can't allow someone like him to have that kind of power, in fact I would prefer if no one had that power."

"People kept on going back in time, I can only fathom what kind of chaos would happen," Astrid nodded.

"That's why we have to find him."

"I might be able to help you there," said Ragnar as he approached them. "I just had a vision."

Ragnar soon began describing everything he had seen in his vision in both hiccup and Astrid just listened to him until he finished.

"Not much to go on," Astrid pointed out.

"Our vision is always very cryptic," Hiccup admitted. "It's how we choose to respond to these visions that can change the future. I have to say that it does make sense that this gateway would be next to a Jedi Temple, but there are thousands of them all across the galaxy."

"Yes, but how many planets have wolfs running across open plains?" Ragnar asked.

Astrid looked up. "I think I know which planet you're talking about." She then immediately made her way to the council and brought out an image of a planet. "This is the planet known as Lothal, I just had a recent report stating that Loth-wolfs have suddenly reappeared, they thought to be extinct."

"Sounds a good place to start," said Ragnar.

Hiccup nodded. "We should investigate, but my mum and Dagur are still on Tython. I would prefer if we had a bit more backup."

Astrid smiled. "There is a rebel cell their and it so happens they've got a Jedi and a Padawan among their recruits."

"Isn't that the coincidence," Hiccup smiled.


They soon gathered Gustav and Heather and began making their way to Lothal.

"I haven't heard much about Lothal," said Gustav looking at them.

"That's because it's too far from any prominent hyperlane," Hiccup explained. "As a result it hasn't been touched by the Clone War, but during the days of the Empire it was occupied briefly."

"What you mean briefly?" Heather asked.

"The time the Empire began to establish a colony out there it collapsed," Hiccup explained. "Don't forget the Empire wasn't around for very long so barely touched anything in the Outer Rim."

Ragnar looked at him. "What do we know about the rebel cell?"

"They're led by General Hera Syndulla, she's a fine pilot and one of the Resistance great military leaders," said Hiccup as a holographic image of a female Twi'lek.

Ragnar frowned. "Syndulla? She wouldn't happen to be Cham Syndulla's daughter?"

"Who?" Gustav asked.

"He was the one who led the rebellion on Ryloth during the Clone War and the Galactic Civil War," Hiccup sighed.

Heather looked at the two of them. "Wait a minute, didn't the two of you take part in the Battle of Ryloth?"

Hiccup nodded with a smile on his face. "That we did, I never landed on the ground myself, until after the battle, I was more preoccupied preventing any Separatists reinforcements from landing on the planet. Ragnar on the other hand actually went planet side and began to liberate many villages."

"It's just a shame that he has not much faith in the Republic," Ragnar sighed. He then could sense the confusion coming from Gustav and Heather. "There was an agreement that the Republic would remove its troops after the battle and they did for time, but then leg became the Galactic Empire and Ryloth was taken over."

"But he did join the rebellion?" Gustav asked.

"Because we have the same enemy, he never trusted outsiders ever again which was a bit unfortunate," said Hiccup looking disappointed. "We did ask them to join the Resistance but he declined, his daughter on the other hand jumped the opportunity and she's proven to be every bit the leader her father was."

"What about this Jedi and Padawan?" Heather asked.

"The Jedi Knight is Kanan Jarrus, though he's only gained the title recently," said Hiccup as a hologram of a Jedi a few years older than he was. "He was one of the first Jedi we contacted after our attempt to restart the Order failed. We sent him to keep an eye on any promising people with Force sensitive abilities and he found one."

Hiccup then brought out an image of a young man a few years younger than Gustav. "Say hello to Ezra Bridger, his parents were killed at a very young age during the Imperial occupation. He survived on the streets by stealing and he's quite crafty, he also seems to have a very strong connection to the Force."

"The kid is younger than me," Gustav pointed out.

Hiccup chuckled slightly. "He's about Ahsoka's aid when she became my Padawan. I also like to point out that we Jedi do start training Jedi long before they can walk and talk."

"Is there anyone else we should know about?" Heather asked.

"Yes, but Kanan and Ezra are the only ones who will be accompanying us on the mission," said Hiccup bluntly. "This is a Jedi matter, I do not want anyone else involved."

Ragnar looked at him. "We could use the extra help."

"We've discussed this, this has nothing to do with the battle against the First Order as a result it has nothing to do with the Resistance or the Republic," said Hiccup bluntly. "They already got too much involved by assisting us gathering information."


For the rest of the trip they remain quiet until they reached Lothal and they didn't waste any time making their way to one of the ports. Once they landed they were greeted by General Syndulla.

She immediately approached both Hiccup and Ragnar. "Generals, it's a pleasure seeing you."

The two of them shook her hand and smiled.

"It's nice to see that you're doing well, Hera," said Hiccup. "I assume that Astrid has briefed you on our situation."

Hera nodded. "We have and it just so happens we know exactly where the Jedi Temple is located. I have two speeders waiting for you, but there appears to be some sort of compound at the temple."

Ragnar looked at her. "Do you know who they are?"

Hera shook her head. "They don't appear to be from the First Order, they look like mercenaries. However, there appears to be some sort of scholar with them and it looked as if he's the one in charge."

Gustav frowned. "When do scholars lead mercenaries?"

"It could be that someone is studying the Jedi Temple and hired mercenaries as bodyguards," Heather offered.

Hiccup scratched his chin. "More than likely, though I get the feeling that the doing more than studying."

Ragnar looked at him. "You think this has something to do with Wrath."

"Your vision did indicate some sort of doorway and unfortunately they're hardly ever wrong," said Hiccup gravely.

Then suddenly walking towards them was a young woman in Mandalorian, but unlike the common Mandalorian her armour was like a walking gallery and she had died her hair with a purple tint.

"Hera the speeders are ready and Kanan and Erza are already at the temple," she informed Hera.

Gustav blinked. "Sabine?"

The Mandalorian blinked at him. "Gustav."

"I see the two of you already know each other," said Hera.

"We are both Mandalorians," said Gustav.

Sabine looked at everyone else. "I'm Sabine Wren, I think you already met my mother on Mandalore."

Hiccup nodded. "Yes, but we didn't exactly talk."

"Sounds like my mum," Sabine joked. "I'll be leading you to the temple."

Hiccup immediately raised his hand. "I appreciate the contribution, but this is a Jedi matter and I think its best that we Jedi sorted out."

Sabine looked at him. "With all due respect Master Jedi, you're going to need my help. We found some sort of artwork and I know that none of you Jedi here know anything about art."

Ragnar looked offended. "My master was an archaeologist, I think I could decipher the meaning."

Sabine looked at him. "In case you forgot your blind, you won't even be able to see the artwork in front of your face let alone understand it. You're going to need me to decipher the meaning."

Hiccup groaned. "Fine, but no one else. We need to get to the Jedi Temple quickly."

Sabine smiled victoriously. "Then let's go."


Soon they took speeders and began making their way towards the Jedi Temple. It was night when they got there and they found that both Kanan and Erza were already waiting for them.

"Glad you guys can join," said Kanan.

"Sasha see you again Kanan," said Hiccup shaking his hand.

"Same here Master."

Erza looked at Hiccup. "So your Master Hiccup Kanan won't stop talking about."

Kanan narrowed his eyes at his ward. "Erza."

Hiccup chuckled. "Don't believe everything you hear, I'm sure that most of it is fabrication."

Erza looked at him curiously. "So you never safely landed half of General Grievous' flagship while it was on fire on a small port on Coruscant?"

Ragnar chuckled. "And don't forget the part where he carried me unconscious on his shoulder or the fact that we nearly got squashed by an elevator."

Hiccup scratched the back of his head. "I forgot the details."

Everyone laughed, but Hiccup then became businesslike and turned to Kanan. "Kanan, have there been any new developments?"

"They appear to have uncovered some more artwork, but they have enabled to breach the temple thankfully," said Kanan as he handed Hiccup a macrobinoculars.

Hiccup looked through them and indeed saw that they were moving artwork, he focused on mercenaries. "I don't recognise their colours or signatures, either the very secret or just low time thugs."

Heather nodded. "It makes sense, we would have known of the big mercenary group had been moving." She then looked at Ragnar. "Your dad would have informed us right away."

Ragnar was indeed curious. "What about the scholar."

Hiccup and turned towards the human wearing robes. "Now I do know him, his name is Minister Veris Hydan. He once served with the previous Emperor and began researching the Jedi myths and legends."

"Why was the Empress so interested in Jedi artwork?" Gustav frowned. "I mean did he kill off every single Jedi in the temple."

"He killed every Jedi but did not discover their secrets," Hiccup reminded. "It could be that he was interested in the same legend as Wrath, but of course he was a bit distracted with the Rebellion."

"Looks like he didn't join forces with Drago," Kanan noted.

"Drago isn't exactly a scholar and I very much doubt that his master told him everything," said Ragnar. "Besides I think Drago is a little busy these days trying to kill Hiccup and conquer the galaxy."

"Looks like they're trying to get inside the temple," said Erza.

"They're going to have a hard time," said Kanan.

"I think there looking for a different entrance actually and I don't think they want to enter into the temple itself," said Ragnar.

"What does he mean by that?" Erza asked.

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Didn't you read my report?"

Erza scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "I skimmed through it."

Hiccup groaned. "To cut a long story short, we believe there is some sort of gateway that leads to a world between worlds. A place outside of the normal space of time, a place where anyone can enter in any time period."

Kanan certainly looked troubled by this. "That kind of power is dangerous in the wrong hands."

"And the last thing we want is for a Sith Pureblood doing exactly that," said Hiccup.

Sabine then took the macrobinoculars and look to the artwork. "If I can get down then study the artwork I might be able to figure out what exactly is going on."

"Not without me you're not," said Ragnar. "I may not be able to see the art, but I do have a good knowledge of Jedi history."

Hiccup nodded. "I agree, both Ragnar and I have met the Mortis Gods we might be able to understand them a bit more. While you're busy studying artwork the rest of us will stay here and keep watch."

"I want to come with them," said Gustav.

"Fine, but do everything at Ragnar tells you to," said Hiccup.

Erza was about to raise his hand, but Kanan stopped him. "We can't have too many Jedi wandering around the base."

"You guys are going to need some disguises," said Heather and she turned to three speeders that were emerging from outside the encampment. "And I think we just found them."


It didn't take them long to knock the mercenaries out cold and then they put on their uniforms. Fortunately one of them was female and another one was particularly young meaning that both Sabine and Gustav could fit in the uniforms easily.

They then mounted the speeders and began making their way into the encampment and Hiccup and the others began watching their every move. They then carefully began parking the speeders with the others in the three of them began making their way to the artefacts.

Ragnar looked at Sabine. "I'm going to need you to describe everything that you see."

"Don't trust me?" Sabine asked.

"I just think you can use a second opinion," said Ragnar.

"I'll try not to be too offended."

"You guys be quiet before they hear you," Gustav pleaded.

Once they approach the artwork Sabine looked at it. "They appear to be onto something and they appear to be covered in some form of language that I can't understand."

Ragnar looked at her. "Can you describe it?"

"Uh… it's not exactly words but pictures, images," said Sabine.

"The ancient language of the Jedi, my master studied it for quite some time," said Ragnar.

"Can you read it?" Gustav.

Ragnar looked at him. "I could, if it wasn't for the fact that I was blind."

Gustav smiled awkwardly beneath his helmet. "Sorry, I forgot."

"Anyway, you often see pictures like these inside Jedi Temples, and they often depict a story," Ragnar explained. "The ancient Jedi believed that words only give you a limited perspective. Images on the other hand provides an entire diverse of opinions and in order to understand them you have to feel the Force."

Sabine looked up at him. "You make them describe as if their artists, not warriors."

"Not every Jedi picked up a lightsaber and there are many ways to keeping the peace," said Ragnar.

"Soldier!" a voice yelled and immediately turned around and saw Minister Veris Hydan approaching them. "Get away from there at once." Sabine quickly backed away and the Minister examined the artwork. "I said it before, none of you are to touch the artefacts. The tiniest blemish could have erased evidence which is critical to understanding the gateway."

"I apologise, Sir, we were just curious," said Ragnar.

Hydan shrugged. "I can't say that I blame you, but leave the interpretation to those more qualified. If we do not find the gateway soon Lord Wrath will have all of our heads."

Then watch the Minister walked off.

"Nice guy," said Gustav.

"That was just too close," said Ragnar.

"We heard that entire conversation," said Hiccup over the comm. "This definitely proves that Wrath is involved, we need to find out more about this gateway. I suggest that you continue to follow the Minister, but be careful."

"Don't worry, we'll be fine," Ragnar assured.


Kanan looked at Hiccup. "I read your reports on the Mortis Gods, I have to admit that I found it hard to believe."

"Believe me I don't believe it and I was there," said Hiccup. "There's still very little we know about, but they were extremely dangerous especially the Son. In fact we know very little about them that it frightens me."

Heather looked at him. "It is true that you were succumb by the Dark Side of the Force?"

Hiccup looked at her. "We're all more vulnerable than we like to admit, especially when we overcome with great fear. I scarcely remember what happened, but I did witness and corrupt my Padawan."

"So on a scale to 1 to 10 how dangerous are they?" Erza asked.

"A hundred," said Hiccup without looking at him.


Ragnar the others to close eye on the Minister he saw them leading everyone towards the side of the temple.

The Minister then looked at the mercenaries. "We are close to our goal, move the drill into first position. Everyone through double shifts through the night, mind your priorities assignment and stay within your designated areas. Turn the floodlights on."

The floodlights then immediately switched on revealing a magnificent painting on the side of the temple.

Ragnar looked at Sabine. "What do you see?"

"I've never seen artwork like this," said Sabine in awe. "There appears to be three people, a woman bathed in light, of man with a very pale face and dark markings and elderly man in between the two of them."

"That's them the Mortis Gods," said Ragnar.

A worker then approached the Minister and directed him to the other side of the temple, this gave Ragnar the others the opportunity to study the painting.

"Can you guys make anything out of it?" Gustav asked.

"Possibly," said Sabine as they moved in closer to the painting. She then began to examine the painting more thoroughly. "Very old and very intricate, but I'm at a complete loss about the meaning?"

Ragnar pondered. "From the way that you describe it is very possible that each one of the figures we see represent something."

"I think you might have missed the Loth-wolves down here," Gustav pointed.

They turned and saw that indeed there was a painting of wolves, large ones at the side.

Ragnar looked at Sabine. "Is there anything else you can describe? Are the Mortis Gods doing anything?"

Sabine shook her head. "No, but the way they position their hands indicate some sort of symbol. The Daughter has the back of her right hand facing us and it's close to her chest, the Father has his right hand up right and on its side and this has his fist clenched which is pointing to the right."

"The way their hands positioned indicates the way of the Force, the light and the dark and the Father is keeping the balance," Ragnar explained.

"What about the markings around the picture?" Gustav asked gesturing to certain lines and dots outside of the image.

"It looks like some sort of star chart, but non-that unfamiliar with," said Sabine.

Ragnar smiled. "Then it's a good thing we have someone who is an expert on astrology." He then reached for his communicator. "Hiccup, do you see it?"

"Hard to miss," said Hiccup as he looked through his macrobinoculars. "Belonging to unlike past and the rings around the Mortis Gods could be planets or perhaps doorways."

"That's good and all, but which one opens the gateway?" Gustav asked.

"I may be blind, but I think I know how to open the gate," said Ragnar. "For the way that you describe it would seem as if everything is centred around the Father, I imagine that one of his two children open the gateway."

"Okay, but which one?" Sabine asked.

Ragnar then immediately moved his way towards the Daughter. They then watch as he placed his hand on the daughter's hand, it was almost as if someone was guiding him and he could see the painting more clearly. The moment he did the circle all around the hand began to glow and then the lines on the painting began to move into an alignment.

The moment the lines aligned with one another it immediately shone brightly and Gustav just because he saw the Daughter move. He then looked towards the Father and saw that painting was moving as well and is hand began to move pointing into a direction.

"Something is happening, the paintings are moving," said Gustav.

Sabine looked at him with a concerned look. "They haven't moved an inch?"

"To you maybe, but don't forget we Force wielders have a separate perception thanks to the Force," Ragnar reminded. "Unfortunately, due to my own injuries I am unable to see the pathway. Gustav it looks like that it will be up to you."

Gustav then saw the Loth-Wolves began to move and watch as they began to walk towards the side of the temple. However, their presence was compromised as a group of mercenaries were approaching them.

"Find the gateway, we'll handle them," said Ragnar.

Gustav nodded and continue to follow the paintings and soon entered into the shadow of the temple, he looked back and saw that the mercenaries were now guiding the two of them away. He had a nagging feeling that they were about to be compromised and knew that he had to find the gateway and fast.

The wolves kept on moving, but then they started to shrink down began to walk around in a circle. It didn't take him long to realise that they were forming the gateway much to his bewilderment.

"This is it," he said stunned.


The mercenaries guided Ragnar and Sabine to Hydan the new look to the two of them curiously.

"I saw you two examining the artwork," he said and he lifted their visors. He then instantly looked at Ragnar. "Jedi Knight Ragnar, this is a pleasant surprise. Now with my memory recalls there were three of you, where is your friend?"

Ragnar and Sabine refused to talk.

"Restrain them, lockdown the perimeter and order all units to report in! We have an impostor loose on site," Hydan ordered.

Then throughout the entire complex alarms were being sounded and floodlights shone in all different directions.

"We need to move," said Kanan.

They quickly backed away from the ledge to make sure that no one saw them.


Gustav was still examining what he believed to be the gateway and when he placed his hand against the rocket immediately sunk straight through it. However before he could do anything, the mercenaries began to surround him.

"There he is," said one of the mercenaries.

Hydan then began making his way through the soldiers and looked at Gustav. He then noticed the gateway directly behind him and his eyes widened.

"The gateway!" he announced.

"Go!" Ragnar yelled.

Gustav nodded and before anyone could stop them he immediately jumped into the gateway.

"Stop him!" Hydan ordered.

A few mercenaries began chasing after him, but when they jumped into the gateway they discovered that it had become solid. Everyone just stared openmouthed as they all began to try and process what had just happened.
