Isle of Berk, Ahch-To; Ahsoka POV...

I shook my head, slowly looking up from where I was on the floor, holding tightly onto Mara to protect her. Strapped onto the medical berth is Jarik, still unconscious from his flight through space. Mara looks up warily, noticing that nothing else was happening.

"Have we stopped?" she asks quietly.

I nod my head. "Yeah, we've stopped," I said in confirmation.

"What about dad?" she asks in concern.

I slowly stand up from my position over Mara and move to Jarik's side, examining him with worried eyes. Thankfully, he seemed to be breathing fine, and while still in a coma, was otherwise healthy. The bond was silent on his end, much to my worry.

"For the moment, he seems ok," I finally say.

A few groggy beeps from outside of the med bay can be heard, and we both look over to see R5 slowly roll into the room, wobbly on his axels. There also seem to be a few dents in his chassis as well. He said that he managed to land the ship, well more like catch land, but it was still relatively intact, having been able to tank the crash.

"Good job R5. Now we just have to figure out where in the galaxy we even are," I said.

The three of us head to the cockpit; Jarik would be fine right now, and I would be able to feel if there's anything wrong with him over the bond. I activate the ships scanners and try to pinpoint our position, and if any rebel cells are nearby. To my frustration, nothing comes back with a positive reply, and as far as I can tell, we aren't even in a known section of space.

"Fantastic," I muttered sarcastically.

"What is it?" Mara asks.

"Our communications are too far out of range to make contact with anybody. Worse is that I don't think we're in explored space," I say gravely, not bothering to sugarcoat it.

"You mean... the Unknown Regions?" she asks with wide eyes in worry. I nod my head in response.

R5 beeps an annoyed and disgruntled sentence, and I take notice of how beat up he looks. Must've gotten thrown around pretty bad during the jump, or during our crash landing.

"Well, at least the atmosphere is breathable from what I can tell," I say, reading the scans of our surrounding area, also looking outside to view the luscious greenery around, with tall and wide trees surrounding us.

"Mara, I need you to help R5 with some repairs while I have a look around," I told her.

"Ok. Any reason why you're gonna go out there?" she questions.

"To see if there's any sort of settlement nearby or what kind of people live on this planet," I tell her.

"What about dad? What should I do for him?" she asks again in concern and self-doubt.

"Just keep watch over him for now, and if I find anyone hopefully they have a healer of some kind. If anything happens don't hesitate to call my comlink, okay sweetie?" I tell her, and she nods in understanding.

"Yes mom," she replies confidently, and I smile at her.

"Good. I'll be back within the hour," I told her, exiting the cockpit towards the exit ramp in the cargo bay. Opening the ramp allowed the cool, damp air from outside to brush up against me, and I had to marvel at how nice it felt. It wasn't hot, and while chilly, it wasn't uncomfortable either, more like a refreshing feel in the air. The sun was going down, so it wasn't fully bright out, but I could manage. After all, even if it got dark out, my natural biology and montrals could detect any nearby movement with echolocation, not to mention I had the Force with me.

I exited the ship, closing the ramp behind me before looking at my surroundings, determining where I should go next to look for any settlements. The smell of ocean water is evident in the air, meaning we crashed near a beach or on an island. Heading towards the waterfront would be my best bet at finding help then because of that.

"Wow. What a fascinating case of deja vu," I muttered. Stranded on a world out of reach, with a loved one in a coma, searching the surroundings areas for help. Only this time there was no Rex, no Bly, and no Master Secura.

I stilled slightly at the reminder of Aayla, taking a brief moment to mourn her loss before pressing onwards. It's been a full decade now since the Jedi Purge, and there's no use thinking about the past when nothing can be changed. Walking forwards, I head in the direction of where the ocean should be, brushing aside a few plants and bushes as I exit the clearing created by the crash.


Jarik POV...

I was in the World Between Worlds again, walking along the transparent pathway towards another gate. Oh, it was this dream again. The convor sat upon the gate and chirped down at me. Upon noticing it, I once again asked it the questions I had, and it responded by allowing a dim golden glow to emerge from the gate, turning into the older version of me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am you," I said, a perfect mirror of myself.

"You... what? How can you be me? I'm me!" I say in bewilderment.

"No... I am your true self," he suddenly growls out, once again turning into the dark image of myself.

Finally I'm able to take part in this dream, or vision, back in my younger self. It was kind of weird being in my younger body after so long, it's hard to explain.

"No," I said determinedly. "You will never be me!"

He laughs mockingly. "Do you really believe so? The great Jarik Shan finds me unworthy, is that it?"

"I refuse to become a Sith like you! It will never happen!" I declare.

He rolls his golden eyes with a smirk on his face. "Oh how ironic, considering Skywalker spoke those words as well, yet you know what happened to him," he said, grinning fiercely like a hungry predator at me.

I stilled in surprise and sadness, reminded once again of how Anakin became Darth Vader and wiped out everything. And yet he was one of the greatest people I knew.

"It is unavoidable. I am a part of you," he tells me again.

"No you're not, your just an illusion, a trick," I reply, shaking my head in denial. There's no way I could ever be like this.

He scowls furiously at me, golden eyes glowing. "I am part of you, and always shall be! The power of Lord Revan runs through us, this is our destiny!" he exclaims.

"Just because he turned to the dark side doesn't mean I will!" I fire back.

He shakes his head. "You fool. If it wasn't for your blasted Force bond with that wretch I would be in my rightful place," he says with a sneer.

I glare furiously at him for insulting Ahsoka, and point my lightsaber hilt directly at him. "Don't you dare talk about Ahsoka like that!" I exclaim furiously. "She's worth more than anything you could ever hope to know or have!"

"If it wasn't for her you could have the power to wipe out the Sith! Isn't that what you desire? You could end them all. Vader, Sidious, Snoke, I can give you the power to do so and bring order to the galaxy!" he claims.

"I would never join you! And you never have or ever will be a part of me!" I state fiercely.

He glares at me, activating a crimson lightsaber. "We shall see," he growls.

In reality, I breathed in deeply, shivering from the dream and the temptations of the dark version of me. Mara glanced over at me in concern from where she was working on R5 before I settled into stillness again.


Ahsoka POV...

So far I hadn't found anything yet, but I could sense abundant quantities of life all around me, ranging between many strange animals. I even encountered a small, reptilian creature with greenish brown scales and wings gnawing on a large fish. It looked up as I passed by, hissing threateningly with narrowed eye before I calmly raised my hands nonthreateningly, calming it with the Force.

It had immediately still and looked at me with wide pupils, and I almost awwed at how cute it seemed before continuing onwards while the little creature watched me go.

I was broken out of my thoughts about the creature when a familiar hooting sound got my attention. I looked up at one of the trees to see the green and white convor perched on a large branch, looking down at me.

"You again," I said with wonder. "Who are you little guy?"

I flutters it's wings, and I get a sense of annoyance from it as it chirps at my comment.

"Little, girl?" I guess quickly, and it instantly calms down, watching me again. I snorted in amusement. "Huh, well what do you know."

Staring at the convor again, she looks back with intelligent eyes that I was mesmerized by. Everywhere I've gone, I'd see this convor at different moments, and I have a feeling Jarik has as well. He did say it helped him during his trip to the strange dimensional place.

"Could you help me? Where are we?" I decide to ask her.

She chirps again, taking flight on her wings before flying through the trees. I'm about to follow her when loud footsteps get my attention. I turn around to find another reptilian creature standing before me, alhough this one is much bigger, with a crown of spikes and a deadly looking tail. It screeched at me with thin slits for pupils, and I backed up warily.

"Just my luck," I muttered to myself.

Then to my complete astonishment the winged reptile unleashes a burst of fire directly at me. I just barely jump out of the way with a startled yelp, not expecting that.

"You can breathe fire?" I say incredulously.

It screeches again, bringing its tail around to reveal a deadly array of spikes. I grimace, not looking forward to facing that, so I leap into action. The tail shoots a few spikes for me with quick acurracy, but I simply flip over the spikes and rush forwards. It moves backwards with an angry squawk, but I raise a hand towards it, reaching out with the Force to calm it down, skidding to a stop a few feet away.

It squawks in confusion as I press the Force against its mind, showing the creature I'm not a threat. It begins to calm down, as I move forwards towards its snout. I lay a hand gently on the creatures nose, and to my surprise it makes a slight purring sound before I tell it to go off.

"That's good... go on," I tell it, shooing the creature away. It takes flight and I watch it go, curious about these strange life forms before sensing more movement around me. This time it's not an animal.

I turn my head slightly, raising an eyebrow at seeing a group of people staring at me a few feet away, eyes wide in shock and wariness, like I'm an unidentifiable thing they've never seen before. And, wow these guys are massive, wearing leather and fur types of clothing, as well as horned helmets. Just judging by their attire I get a little worried, especially by their weapons.

Not that I'm concerned they might attack me, but they're using ancient, melee weapons of metal, swords and axes... and is that a mace? Hopefully this isn't because they choose too, and aren't primitive people... please?

The one who seems to be in charge, as evident by the fur cape and large helmet, as well as a massive red braided beard steps forwards, raising an axe in preparation for a fight.

"What are you?" he demands, voice booming.

That fact that he said 'what' instead of 'who' now greatly worries me. Sounds like they've never met or heard of a Togruta before.


Stoick the Vast POV...

We were searching through the woods for the strange falling star that came from the heavens to land at Raven Point. I wanted to know just what it was, and if it was a message from the gods, or another problem related to the devils that continue to raid our village. Nothing has been found yet.

"So Stoick, what exactly are you uh... expecting to find?" Gobber, my best friends asks.

"I don't know. But if it's a dragon then we've got a serious problem," I told him.

Spitelout snorts in amusement. "What kind of dragon falls from the sky like that?!" he asks incredulously.

"That's what we're going to figure out Spitelout!" I replied, shaking my head in irritation.

"You do have to admit though that only a Monstrous Nightmare would be on fire like that, and whatever it was, that was definitely a lot bigger," Gobber says, twiddling with his war hammer nervously.

"I know, but we have to figure this out. Who knows what those beasts are capable of," I said determinedly, pressing forwards through the forest. The evening was near, with the sun setting over the ocean. Night would soon be upon us, but the last dragon raid was two days ago, so there wasn't a concern of them coming by for another two weeks, unless they decided to get greedier and more bloodthirsty.

Our search party continued through the forest for approximately another 30 minutes before Hoark got my attention.

"Chief, you might want to see this!" he says, although a little bit quietly.

With narrowed eyes, I move over to Hoark, the rest of the men following behind me. He was staying hidden behind the brush, and I knelt down beside him, the others taking cover in the trees and bushes around us.

"What have you found?" I ask him.

He points over in the direction of a small opening in the forest, and I look over, widening my eyes in shock and bewilderment.

Standing there, looking up at a tree, a bird possibly perched in there, was the strangest... person I had ever seen, I wasn't even sure if that was a person, although they looked like a woman.

"What is that?" Spitelout asks.

"Quiet!" I snap at him, narrowing my eyes at this strange woman. She had orange, orange skin of all things! And instead of hair, there were three, weird tail things coming from her head, colored white and blue. Even more absurd were the two horns sticking up from her head.

"Could you help me? Where are we?" she asks the bird.

"Well... certainly weird that one," Gobber remarks.

"What should we do chief?" Ack questions.

I say nothing, only watching as the bird flies off. The weird lady moves to follow before a Deadly Nadder bursts out of the trees behind her, roaring.

"Get down!" I told the men, and we all made ourselves invisible to the dragon. It certainly wouldn't fool its scent, but there were enough of us that we would be able to catch it by surprise if it charged at us. However the strange lady didn't run or attack the dragon at all, just staring with wide eyes as if she'd never seen one before, much to my confusion.

"Just my luck," I manage to hear her say dryly.

"What's that thing doing? Just run!" Spitelout whispered harshly in bewilderment.

"We should go and take out that dragon Stoick," Gobber suggests. The men begin to move forwards when I raise a hand.

"No, wait, I need to see this," I told them.

They all stared at me in bewilderment. "But Stoick, there's a dragon out there, we should kill it!"

The Nadder then unleashes a burst of fire at the woman, and she leaps out of the way with a startled cry, rolling across the ground faster than I would have thought.

"You can breathe fire?" she says in bewilderment.

"Is she stupid? Of course they can!" one of the men whispers incredulously.

"Stoick-" Gobber says, his concern for the woman, despite how odd she seems clearly evident.

"Wait," I said firmly, watching the confrontation with narrowed eyes.

The Nadder raises its tail in preparation for shooting off its spikes, and the woman instantly changes her demeanor, moving into action as the spikes fly. To my shock, she jumps up from the ground and easily flips over them completely in one swift movement, landing on her feet and rushing for the Nadder.

Some of the men, including Spitelout widen their eyes in surprise at the woman's speed and agility.

The Nadder screeches again in preparation for another attack when the strangest thing happens. Raising her arm and skidding to a stop a few feet away from the Nadder, the woman slowly moves forwards, hand raised towards the dragon, which squawks in confusion.

We all widen our eyes in bewilderment, and are even more astonished when the dragon actually begins to calm down, its angry squawks turning into confused growls.

"What in Thor's name?" Gobber says incredulously.

"She's... controlling that dragon!" Spitelout says with wide eyes.

"I don't believe it..." I whisper, stunned. Now she has her hand on the Nadder's snout, and the dragon is even purring slightly, before she waves it off.

"That's good... go on," she says, waving her arms in a shooting manner.

The Nadder complies, taking flight and leaving the area, while the woman watches it go with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"She must be a witch!" Spitelout suggests, eyes narrowed. "In league with the dragons!"

"Really, she may be a witch but she looked like she never saw a dragon in her life," Gobber says skeptically.

"Come on, we need answers," I tell everyone, stepping out from my hiding place and into the small clearing. The rest of the group follows after us, and the woman, almost as if knowing we were there turns her head to face us, a mixture of expressions and emotions crossing her face that I couldn't make out.

I raise my axe in warning, in case the witch tried any move against us. "What are you?" I demand.

She stares back at us with a calm, yet slightly worried look before she starts to answer...


Finally, the first interaction between Jedi and Viking, as well as a stray Deadly Nadder! Stoick the Vast must be absolutely bewildered by Ahsoka's lekku and montrals, considering she's an entirely different species from a human. Also, Jarik is fighting an inner battle against his dark counterpart, yet does not believe it to be part of him.

Glad you guys enjoy this story so much, and stay tuned for more! It only gets better and better! :D
