Heather had to admit that running from First Order agent and bounty hunters all the same day had to be a new experience for her. All of them were making a break for it to The Deadly Nadder, thankfully the twins and R3 had caused quite a bit of chaos with explosions and they following chandelier that confused both Eret's men and the bounty hunters.

It in take them long to reach The Deadly Nadder and they quickly ran aboard. Astrid quickly took the pilot seat in the cockpit and Heather the co-pilot seat, Ragnar had positioned himself at the nava computer so that he could upload the coordinates for the slave camp where the Wookiees were being held.

Astrid and even bother with the pre-fight checks and took off and they soon left the Smuggler's Moon of Nar Shaddaa, much to their relief.

"Well, that was exciting," said Ragnar.

"I take it you put in the coordinates of the slave camp?" said Astrid turning her head to look at Ragnar.

"Yeah, they're on the Spice Mines of Kessel," said Ragnar grimly.

"You can't be serious," said Heather horror struck.

"What's so the big deal about this spice mine," said Snotlout as he entered the cockpit and sat in the seat opposite Ragnar.

"Snotlout, slaves that are sent there last a few days maybe a year," said Heather grimly.

"And for Wookies born in the forest it a death sentence," Ragnar added.

"Okay, I guess it's a big deal," said Snotlout.

"I better go and inform Stoick of this information," said Heather picking himself up.

As she walked partially noticed Ragnar smiling at her hand can help but smile back. However, one she left the cockpit Astrid narrowed her eyes at him.

"What?" Ragnar asked.

"And is giving you fair warning, Heather is my best friend and I won't let anyone hurt her," Astrid warned.

"What makes you think I want to hurt?" said Ragnar.

"She's been through a lot, never knowing her parents and coming from a poor family that took her in," Astrid spat.

Ragnar just looked at the door and closes eyes. "I know how that feels."

Astrid was about to ask him what he meant by that, but Snotlout spoke first. "Why would she be so interest with a smuggler, when she's got me?" said Snotlout flexing his muscles.

"I don't know, a lot of girls like bad boys," Ragnar smirked with his hands behind his head.

"I can be bad," said Snotlout.

"You're also annoying and delusional," Astrid added and then she pulled the leather and they entered into hyperspace.


Meanwhile on Nar Shaddaa, Eret had just reached the spaceport and found that the Resistance ship was gone. He had lost the smuggler again and what's worse he joined the Resistance, he could lead them to other Jedi if the rumours were true. Emperor Drago was going to have his head.

"Sir, one of our spices made contact and he knows where the Resistance is headed," said a Stormtrooper.

Eret felt his spirit to raise, he had a second chance to chase down the smuggler before he gave too much away.

"To the ship, we're going after them," he said as he walked off.


Ragnar was in the cargo hold doing some repairs on K9-TV, who had sustained a bit of damage from a blaster belonging to a bounty under when they made their escape.

"How does that feel?" Ragnar asked as we wired a few circuits.

"Much better, Master Ragnar," said K9-TV.

"You're really fond of that droid," said a voice.

Ragnar looked up and saw Heather looking down at him from the railings. He watched as she skidded down the ladder to join him.

"Sure am, I did building from scratch after all," Ragnar smiled.

"You build him?" said Heather slightly impressed.

"Yeah, I'm good with my hands and I spend my younger years working at a junk dealer shop on Tatooine," said Ragnar and Heather noticed the sad look on his face as if the memory course him great pain. "I built mainly to help my mother around the house while I was out working."

"No father?" Heather enquired.

"None speak of," said Ragnar. He then looked at her with a painful look. "Listen, I don't really want to talk about it."

"No, it's quite all right," said Heather's sympathising with him. "So, can he do anything else other than house work?"

"My dear lady, I'm fluent in over six million forms of communication," said K9-TV.

"Wow, you know we could really use him when talking to other species, we Berkins are great warriors, but very few of us speak other alien languages, I myself can only speak a few," said Heather.

"Well, since will be joining you I suppose I can lend you the aid of K9-TV," said Ragnar thoughtfully. "That it is if you promise that he doesn't get torn apart by an angry Wookiee."

"What?" said K9-TV suddenly.

Heather giggled. She surely never met anyone like him before, he was charming, funny and obviously brave if he was defying the First Order. Then she remembered the other part of their mission.

"Listen, there's something I need to ask you—"

However, before she finished they heard Astrid speaking over the comm. "We'll be reaching Kessel in five minutes."

"Looks like we better get ready," said Heather turning her eyes away from Ragnar and she felt the cheeks grow hot.


Five minutes later, Astrid, Ragnar, Heather, Snotlout and the twins were at the cargo bay. Fishlegs had taken control of The Deadly Nadder with the assistance of R3. K9-TV, not wanting to see more action was in the lounge, not wanting to see any more danger today.

"So I take it the plan is to rush out and bring the Wookiees inside," said Ragnar.

"Pretty much, but will need you in order to remove the cuffs on their wrists," said Astrid.

"I can manage that," Ragnar assured.

"You'd better, because there's no way I'm going to be a slave for the First Order," said Astrid getting her rifle ready.


On Kessel, on a platform that was overlooking a deep canyon, about a dozen Wookiees were being shoved Stormtroopers, with their hands in manacles. Their leader was a black haired Wookiee, who growled furiously at a Stormtrooper when he shoved his rifle into his back.

"Move it you hairy beast," said the Stormtrooper.

Then suddenly they were blinded by a bright light and looked up to see The Deadly Nadder flying straight towards them. Fishlegs fire the cannons at the platform, making sure not to hit the Wookiees, and forced the Stormtroopers to dispel.

They then came back for another round and then the cargo ramp fell and instantly the Stormtroopers took fire from Astrid, Ragnar, Heather, Snotlout and the twins as they ran for cover.

Once Astrid and the others had gained the attention of the Stormtrooper, Ragnar ran around them and made his way over to the Wookiees. At first the Wookiees were hostile to him, but the black Wookiees stop them.

"Toothless?" Ragnar stared. "What are you doing here?"

The Wookiees simply roared.

"Captured? The must've caught you on a bad day," said Ragnar as he pulled out a tool and released Toothless from his manacles.

He then did the same to the other Wookiees.

The Stormtroopers were so focused on Astrid and the others they didn't see the Wookiees grabbing them from behind and tossing them around like rag dolls. Once they dispelled the Stormtroopers the two groups met with one another.

"Guys, you're never going to believe who I met with," said Ragnar and allowed Toothless to pass. "This is General Toothless and an old friend."

"Did you know he was here?" Astrid asked curiously.

"No, it's actually quite a presence surprise," said Ragnar. "The Force works in mysterious ways it would seem."

"We better get out of here," said Heather.

Unfortunately before they can make a move to The Deadly Nadder several TIE Fighters appeared. They then began to blast The Deadly Nadder.

"We're hit!" Fishlegs yelled panicking.

R3 then made his way apt gun and use it to blast one of the TIE Fighters to pieces. Unfortunately, things got worse when a First Order troop transport appeared and it fired its cannon on Astrid, Ragnar and Wookiees, fortunately they were all able to jump out of the way before getting blasted.

Astrid reached for her comm. "Fishlegs, get out of there!" she yelled.

"Don't you tell me twice," said Fishlegs.

They watched as The Deadly Nadder flew away and then the troop transport landed on the platform. The cargo lift and the senders and they found Agent Eret and a squad of Stormtroopers upon it.

"Take them down!" Eret ordered.

The troopers then walked off the ramp began blasting at all of them. Quickly they all ran for cover at the far end of the platform and were pinned down by the onslaught of troopers.

Fishlegs was also having his own problems with the TIE Fighter and even though R3 was doing his best by shooting the rear cannons, destroying yet another one, there was no way he could land.

"Chances of survival are dwindling into single digits!" Fishlegs panicked.

Astrid looked at the others, not seen how they could get out of this. "Get out of there Fishlegs and lead the TIEs away!" she yelled over the comm.

"What about us?" Snotlout yelled indignantly as he fired his heavy blaster.

Astrid then saw a container nearby and got an idea. "I've got an idea, but will need some kind of distraction," she said. She looked at the twins. "Do you guys have any more explosives?"

Ruffnut and Tuffnut looked at each other slightly uneasy.

"Uh, we kinda used them all in the casino," said Ruffnut.

"You did what!" Astrid yelled.

"It was a lot of fun," said Tuffnut.

"Can't believe you two!" said Astrid shaking her head.

Ragnar looked at Toothless, who simply nodded. He then took a deep breath and looked at Astrid and the others. "I can cause a distraction, just get the Wookiees to safety."

"What are you planning?" Heather curiously.

"Yes, we like to know the secret," said Astrid frowning.

"Trust me, I'm about to let everyone in on the secret," said Ragnar.

He then got up and walked over the crates and places blaster in his holder. The troopers kept on firing at him, but miraculously none of them actually hit him, in fact the way he moved was almost as if he could predict where they were being fired.

Eret raised his hand to signal his troopers to stop and they all watched as Ragnar grabbed the two cylinders he had and combined them into one. Then suddenly a yellow light exiting from the cylinder and he moved it like a sort placing both hands upon it.

The Resistance and Wookiee were stared at him in awe, all except for Toothless. Eret also looked shocked and even though they couldn't see their faces they knew that the Stormtroopers must've had terrified looks. For Ragnar was a Jedi.

Ragnar looked at them with a determined face, one that told them that he was not going to let them pass.

"All troopers, concentrate fire on the…" said Eret, barely able to get the word out, "on the Jedi!"

The troopers then fired their blasters and Ragnar, but he began to deflect their shots with his lightsaber. Ragnar then charged at them, he sliced through the blaster of one trooper and then stabbed the trooper behind him with his lightsaber.

"What are you waiting for?" Ragnar yelled looking at Astrid and the others.

He only took several seconds for Astrid to realise what was going on. She then looked at the Wookiees.

"Everyone, into the container!" she yelled.

She then began to gesture the Wookiees and they quickly fold them.

The troopers were not faring very well against Ragnar, who was clearly living up to the reputation of the Jedi. Used a Force Push to knock back a few troopers and then he noticed that one of them was aiming a rocket launcher at him.

The trooper fired, but using the Force Ragnar caught it in mid-air. He then sent it flying straight back at the trooper taking him on to others out.

Trooper tried to tackle him, but he simply used a Force Push and sent him toppling over the edge of the railings and he could hear him scream as he fell.

Eret just glared at Ragnar, not believing his luck. He thought that he was hunting down a Jedi smuggler, but instead he then hunting down a Jedi Knight.

"So, you were a Jedi all along," he said. "I suppose that explains how you were able to evade us for so long."

"I'm surprised it took you this long to realise," said Ragnar.

"Just who are you?" Eret demanded aiming his blaster at Ragnar.

"My name is Ragnar Keatson and I'm a Jedi Knight," said Ragnar pointing his lightsaber at Eret. "Tell your masters is that we will put an end to his empire."

"The First Order cannot be defeated," said Eret.

"Nothing is impossible I would have thought the defeat of the Galactic Empire was proof enough and the destruction of the Red Death," said Ragnar.

Eret's eyes widened. "You were there?"

"Yes, yes I was," said Ragnar.

Then suddenly Ragnar back flipped over the railings, but seconds later The Deadly Nadder appeared with him on top of it. Eret try to shoot him down with his rifle, but Ragnar deflected the shot and hit his arm causing him to tumble off the railing as well.

The Deadly Nadder then flew over to the container that was holding Astrid's team and the Wookiees. Fishlegs lowered the ship and activated the magnetic clamps causing the container to attach itself to the ship's hull.

Seconds later they flew off and Eret, who was clinging onto one of the platform supports, could only watch helplessly as The Deadly Nadder flew off.

"First Jedi ever met, sir?"

Eret looked down and saw the trooper that had toppled over the railings before, he too had managed to grab hold of the support before falling. However, Eret did not answer the trooper's question, but merely kicked him aside causing him to fall into the canyon below.


Moments later, on The Deadly Nadder, once everyone was inside the cargo bay and lying safely away from the planet. Astrid quickly turned on Ragnar glaring at him and punched him on the shoulder.

"What was that for?" he yelled indignantly rubbing his shoulder.

"That was for the lives!" she spat. "Why didn't you tell us you were Jedi?"

"You never asked?" Ragnar shrugged.

"Still, it would have been nice to know that you were as Jedi," said Astrid glaring at him.

"Actually I would have thought you would be grateful that I kept my mouth shut," said Ragnar.

"And why should we be so grateful?" Snotlout scoffed.

"Because Eret knew where we were headed," said Heather.

Everyone turned and looked at her.

"Exactly," said Ragnar. "I hate to say but I believe you got a traitor in your midst, someone tipped off Eret that we were heading to Kessel and didn't you alert your commanding officer where we were headed and I can only assume that he told a few others. If I had told you I was a Jedi then we would have a much different welcoming committee."

"Fine," said Astrid crossing her arms. She then climbed on the ladder to head straight to the cockpit. "But don't think were finished?"

"What we do about them?" Snotlout asked gesturing to the Wookiees.

Toothless roared, but no one in the cargo hold could understand him.

"What did he say?" Tuffnut asked his sister.

"How should I know?" said Ruffnut.

"He said that he and his troops would like to join the Resistance," said Ragnar.

"Then we welcome the help," said Heather looking at Toothless.

Toothless responded by giving her a big hug making her laugh. Out of the corner of her eye she could see that Ragnar had left the cargo hold wondered what he was up to now.


Ragnar had found a quiet place within the ship along with R3. R3 then fired a holoprojector and a man wearing Jedi robes appeared.

"They know that I'm a Jedi," said Ragnar.

"They would have found out sooner or later," said the cloaked figure. "How much to they know?"

"I haven't told them anything yet, but they will expect answers for me," said Ragnar.

"Then tell them what they want to hear it may be soon for us to return to the Galaxy, because I sense a disturbance in the Force."

Ragnar nodded in agreement. "Yes, I sent it to."


Eret had soon return to a Star Destroyer and made his way over to the bridge to access the control panel. He first a few buttons and the image of Drago Bludvist appeared, with a grim expression upon his face.

"What is it, agent?" said Drago.

"My Lord, I have come in contact with a Jedi, who happened to be the smuggler I've been tracking," said Eret.

"I see then I'll send one apprentices after him," said Drago.

"Sir, I know his identity, his name is Ragnar Keatson," said Eret.

Drago eyes narrowed. "Then we must capture him, he may very well be our key to locate Hiccup Haddock and his mother! I will not allow everything that I have built be crushed by the Jedi, who are so weak they can't even protect themselves!"
