Cami, Heather, and Astrid were all slowly making their way back to the field hospital. Astrid who was sore and limping slightly after her battle was using Heather and Cami as support to help her walk. The battle behind them was as fierce as ever the sound of blaster fire and explosions never ceased and with each sound they all cringed a little bit with worry for their friends. It took them an hour or two to reach the field hospital but as soon as they found Astrid a cot she was begging Heather and Cami to go back and make sure Hiccup was safe.

Nodding to her they turned back and rushed back toward the battle to make sure their leader and friend were safe.

Hiccup was an absolute killing machine. He was seeing nothing but red every time he saw a Stormtrooper. In his mind any one of these Troopers could have hurt Toothless in the past four days and to him they had to pay. He had gotten into a few close quarter fights. Gotten cut across his right arm, had a bruise forming on his left cheek, a laser burn on his right leg, and he was pretty sure he had a few cracked ribs as well.

Never the less he pushed on. He would not stop until Toothless was back with him and safe from these monsters. Hiccup and his troops had cleared out two of the three trenches and were now just about to storm over the walls to the third and finally one. Hiccup was exhausted he had been fighting like this for almost three hours but couldn't stop now. He was so close and he would see it through to the end.

Pulling himself up and over the wall he began to crawl towards the next trench. Blaster fire streaking over his head he knew once he reached the trench he would be safe if only for a moment. Finally after a couple minutes he reached the top of trench and looked over the edge.

There weren't as many Troopers as he thought there would be which was fine by him. One Trooper had stuck his head just over the edge to see where the Rebels were only to come face to face with Hiccup. Scowling at the Trooper Hiccup quickly activated the Dark Saber and plunger it through the man's skull. Hiccup pulled the Saber out and the Trooper fell back with a thud.

Climbing down into the trench Hiccup leaned up against the wall to catch his breath. Okay so maybe he had a broken rib or two instead of cracked ones. Drawing his blaster pistol he looked down both directions of the trench he only spotted a few troopers on each side of him. Firing to his left first he took out those Troopers with ease. The ones to his right were surprised to see him there and nearly dropped their blasters they were in such shock.

Taking advantage Hiccup got up and ran toward the Troopers. They were still in shock to see him there that they didn't register that Hiccup was charging at them until it was too late. Taking out the first one with a blaster shot to the chest Hiccup pushed that one out of the way and stabbed the other through the mid-section with the Dark Saber. Pushing him off Hiccup continued to stumble down the trench having to use the walls to help keep him up right. Shooting and slashing his way through the remaining Troopers Hiccup was considering himself lucky that he hadn't come across another hand to hand fight. He should have never thought about it.

As soon as he thought that a Stormtrooper came from a cut out in the wall and slammed Hiccup into the other side with such force that Hiccup knew he had at least one broken rib now. Grunting in pain Hiccup looked over to see the Trooper pull out a short sword and challenge Hiccup to a duel. Hiccup clipped his blaster pistol to his hip and prepared himself for the fight.

All around him blaster bolts were flying through the air, kicking up dirt if they missed their targets, time had slowed down for Hiccup and the sounds of battle had become muffled like he was hearing them from under water. A thermal detonator went off behind him and the explosion highlighted his black armor and the ebony blade of the Dark Saber.

Taking a few deep breaths Hiccup steadied himself before lunging at the trooper. Hiccup didn't hear anything but the sound of his blade hitting the sword. With every strike a small hissing sound could be heard. It sounded as if electricity was striking through the blades creating a teeth clenching screech.

The Trooper was very skilled with the sword but unfortunately for him the sword was made of cheap metal. And the teeth clenching sound was the Dark Saber slowly cutting through it. With one final strike Hiccup cut through the sword leaving it in two pieces. Hiccup's swing didn't stop there however. His Saber soon found itself imbedded in the left shoulder of the Trooper and cutting its way down until it stopped halfway through his chest.

The Trooper looked down at the Saber then back to Hiccup. He slowly started to fall backwards and hit the ground with a dull thud. Hiccup looked up and noticed that to his right the trench exited out to the entrance of the Sky Hook. With jagged breaths and a slight limp he walked his way out of the trench and toward the Sky Hook.

The fighting behind him had started to soften. Blaster fire and explosions became infrequent and eventually stopped. He was staring at the Sky Hook hoping that his best friend was still inside. He didn't have to wait long for his answer.

The doors to the Sky Hook opened up and out walked Toothless with a squad of Stormtroopers surrounding him. Just as the doors had opened Heather, Cami, Ruff, Tuff, and Fishlegs had come out of the trench to see Hiccup staring in horror at Toothless.

They had chains all over him that were electrically charged. There were burn marks all over Toothless' body showing were he had been tortured. Cuts and scars littered his body there were even small holes in his wings. But the thing that caught Hiccup's eye the most were Toothless' own eyes. Gone was the caring, loving, intelligent look in his friend's eyes that had been replaced with the eyes of a savage beast who only had base instincts and understood one thing. Kill.

Hiccup would have fallen to his knees at seeing this were it not for Cami and Heather rushing over to hold him up. Hiccup never broke eye contact. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, it was exactly what he feared would happen. They broke Toothless and turned him into a war beast. Hiccup looked away for a moment closing his eyes trying to accept that his friend was gone and there was nothing he could do. In the midst of his anguish however Hiccup heard a soft coo directed his way. Looking up he saw Toothless still staring at him but for a moment his eyes had turned back to that loving, caring and intelligent creature. Toothless was still fighting.

Hiccup's eyes widened and smile grew across his face as he realized that all was not yet lost. With new determination he gently walked out of Cami and Heathers grasp and headed toward Toothless. Toothless started to snarl and growl at him but Hiccup showed no fear. He had seen more than enough to know his friend was still in there and he was going to bring him back.

"Hey there bud." Hiccup said greeting him like an old friend he hasn't seen in years.

"Well we came back sorry we took so long." Hiccup said with a small chuckle.

He tried to listen for Toothless but couldn't hear anything. Instead he saw his friend's pupil's flutter and his head start to thrash around. The Stormtroopers around him started to freak out as Toothless began to thrash around. They tried stunning him by activating the chains but all it seemed to do was irritate Toothless more. Hiccup waved his hand in the air and the Nightfury squad all fired at the Troopers that were guarding Toothless with the threat removed Hiccup knelt down in front of Toothless holding his head and staring into his eyes.

"I don't know what they did to you bud, but please come back to me. I'm sorry we took so long to rescue you, I never wanted to leave you. But we made it man, we made it. I won't leave you here not again you are my best friend and I can't stand to see you like this. I see you fighting whatever it is that they did to you. Keep fighting Toothless, keep fighting and don't ever stop. You have to come back, you just have too. Prove the Empire wrong that you are more than just a war beast. They don't believe you can do it but I do. I believe in you." Hiccup whispered to his dragon friend as a single tear strolled down his face.

Toothless stopped thrashing for a moment and stared back into Hiccup's eyes for a moment that lasted forever. His eyes shut suddenly and he threw his head back and roared out loudly before collapsing onto the ground in an unconscious heap. Hiccup's eyes grew wide with fear as he looked at his friend's body unable to comprehend what just happened.

Turning Toothless over onto his side Hiccup placed his head on his chest and listened for his heart beat. It was faint but it was there. With a shuddering sigh of relief Hiccup went back up to his head.

"Please wake up Toothless I have to know that you won. I have to know that we got you back. This galaxy just won't be the same if you are not in it." He whispered to him as he laid his head down onto to Toothless.

"You really know how to make an endangered species cry don't you."

Hiccup's head shot up and looked down at Toothless who had one eye open which was staring back at Hiccup. Hiccup couldn't help the broken laugh that forced its way out of him as he hugged Toothless around the neck.

"Oh my God Toothless! You're okay!" Hiccup proclaimed as tears of joy flooded down his face.

Toothless leaned his head into Hiccup.

"I had a couple reasons to keep fighting." Toothless answered back.

"Only a couple?" Hiccup answered back sarcastically"

"Only a couple… Hiccup there is something I have to show that I saw when I was being held." Toothless stated sounding very happy

Hiccup didn't know what to think if this would be good or bad but trusted Toothless none the less. Standing up slowly Hiccup followed Toothless toward the Sky Hook. He motioned for the squad to follow him since they would need to plant the explosives anyway.

"Alright Toothless what do you have to show me?" Hiccup asked

"Just wait and see." Toothless replied

The doors slid open and Hiccup took in the massive room. The room itself was a gigantic lift and it was littered with cages filled with either Wookiees or other unique creatures. Hiccup and the rest of the squad began to free all of the captured creatures until they came across a massive crate that they couldn't see in to. Toothless started bounce up and down slightly which confused everybody greatly.

"Uh Hiccup what is he doing?" Ruff asked

"I have no idea. Toothless what is going on?"

"For the longest time I thought I was the last one Hiccup. I don't know where they got her from but all I know is that I'm not the only one anymore." Toothless replied in a hushed voice.

Toothless hit the release button with his claw and the doors to the crate slowly started to open. Hiccup peered inside but couldn't see anything until the head of a creature that looked very similar to Toothless poked out. The head was slightly smaller than Toothless' and its eyes were a deep shade of purple. Hiccup was struck with the realization of what was in front of him.

"Like I said I thought I was the last one until she came along."

"She!?" Hiccup sputtered looking at the female Basiliskan.

"Yes Hiccup she and while we were in here I convinced her to follow us when you came to get me. I will explain later but for now we need to go." Toothless stated

Hiccup knew he was right the time for questions would come later. Turning to his squad he instructed them to start planting the explosives. After five minutes all the charges were placed and they were rushing out of the Sky Hook. They managed to reach the tree line just as the explosives went off. The explosions caused a chain reaction that sent a massive fireball up the Sky Hook destroying it. The massive structure fell to the ground in thousands of pieces.

Hiccup smiling looked around to see all of the troops celebrating their hard fought victory. It was now that he realized that Astrid was not with them for any of this. He started to panic.

"Guys where is Astrid?" He asked whipping his head back and forth

"Don't worry Hiccup she got a little banged up and Heather and I took her back to the field hospital as a cautionary measure." Cami stated

Hiccup breathed a sigh of relief. He gave the order for everyone to march back to the beach for some much need rest. Reaching the camp Hiccup went right for the hospital tent and saw Astrid sitting up looking down at her feet.

"Hey babe I'm back." He said softly as his head started to spin

"Hiccup!" Astrid shouted as she saw him.

Astrid smiled as she saw Hiccup standing there but could tell something was wrong. For starters he looked like hell. She could tell he was covered in cuts and bruises, he was holding his side and walking gingerly. Before he could reach her he fell to his knees and passed out on the floor.
