The Night Fury was flying through hyperspace and Astrid and Heather were spending their time in its kitchen. The two of them were sitting at a table with a mug of Berkian mead in their hands. Astrid was entirely surprised that Hiccup's ship had Berkian mead board, since it could only be bought at Berk itself.

"You feeling any better?" Astrid asked. "I heard your screams over the comm, it sounded agonising."

"It was and I imagined that Dager would have done worse if I hadn't escaped," said Heather.

"How did you escape?" Astrid frowned.

"I used the Force," said Heather simply. "I used a Jedi Mind trick on my guard and he let me go."

"Wow, I guess all that training with Ragnar really helped," said Astrid.

"If it weren't for him I probably would be still stuck there," said Heather.

"So what is going on between you two?" Astrid asked.

Heather looked up a bit startled. "What? What do you mean?"

"I mean you don't act like teacher and student," said Astrid.

Heather shook her head. "Nothing is going to come out of it, its part of the Jedi code. They forbid attachments especially romantic attachments. The code goes like this: there is no emotion, there was peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There was no death, there is the Force."

"Hang on, but what of Hiccup's mum, didn't she fell in love with the general?" Astrid frowned.

"Yes, but then she came back to the order where I assume she gave birth to Hiccup."

Astrid frowned. "I can understand anger and hatred, but why would they give up love and happiness?"

"I don't know," said Heather. "I suppose it so that if there lover dies they wouldn't be consumed by revenge or risk everything to save them."

"Suppose I can see the point, but still," said Astrid as she took a sip of mead.

"Speaking on handsome Jedi, what about you and Hiccup?" Heather asked slyly.

Astrid spat out her mead instantly. "Are you talking about, we've only just met."

"So it's love at first sight," Heather teased.

"Listen I can admit that skilled and he was brave to come to the First Order's home world to rescue us, but are not really looking for boyfriend, and like you said he's a Jedi he can't have attachments."

Heather smirked. "He's kinda cute."

Astrid's face turned pink. "I guess, if you're into the heroic, unassuming, Jedi type… and while my saying this?"

Astrid quickly finished her mead and walked off.

"Have fun!" Heather teased.

Astrid felt mortified as she made her way to the cockpit, she knew that they couldn't be to far from Berk and Hiccup would need landing clearance or else the entire fleet would blow their ship apart.

She entered into the cockpit and found only Hiccup, Toothless and R3 there.

"Where's Ragnar?" Astrid asked as she sat down at the navigation seat.

"Oh, he's checking the shield generator, Dagur delivered a damage before we went into hyperspace," said Hiccup.

"How do the two of you meet?" Astrid enquired.

"By pure accident," said Hiccup. "I must have been about, ten. I was already a Padawan to Orgus Din, he was the Orders greatest swordsman. Anyway it was just a routine delegate mission, but then we were attacked by pirates and had to land on the planet of Tatooine. With only a skilled engineer time, but there was no way I could repair the hyperdrive we needed a new one.

So me, my master and R3 went to the nearest settlement in without a junk dealer who had a spare hyperdrive, but it was far out of our price range. What was worse he was a Toydarian, who are one of the few species were immune to our Mind Tricks."

Then Ragnar showed up and offered us shelter for the night with his mother, Freida. We then began to discuss ways we could get the hyperdrive and there was only one way and that was the better everything we had on Pod Racing."

"I've heard of that," said Astrid. "It's very dangerous not many humans can do it."

"Fortunately, Ragnar had done it before and he was Force Sensitive, he even had a pod racer at the ready it just needed a few repairs. We had a use our ship is the entry fee and I my master made a bet with the junk dealer. Let's just say he wasn't too pleased when Ragnar won."

"I bet he wasn't," Astrid chuckled. "A most unusual way to make a friendship."

"Yeah, I guess," said Hiccup. "Let's just say that I make friends at unusual times."

Astrid smiled and then looked at him curiously. "Did you ever knew the general was your father, I mean did your mother ever tell you about him?"

Hiccup expression changed. "She only told me that she was my mother during the end of the Clone Wars and she told me a little about my father."

"Do you resent of keeping the secret?" Astrid asked.

"I'm not sure," said Hiccup. "I thought at one point to go to Berk and introduce myself, but I decided against it. I mean can you imagine if I showed up at the front door and say 'Hi, I'm your long lost son'."

"Yeah, I can see your point," said Astrid. "So do you know where she is now?"

Hiccup shook his head. "After I duelled against Dagur, more forces showed up and they were just too much for the Jedi. Finally my, mum, told me and Ragnar to run and tourist to restart the order."

"Quite the tall order," said Astrid.

"I know," said Hiccup.

They then came out of hyperspace and Berk appeared in the distance. Hiccup began to descend towards the planet and Astrid got onto the comm.

"I intend to fight ship, please state your intent all will be forced to fire upon you," said the control officer.

"This is Captain Astrid, hold your fire," said Astrid over the comm.

"Welcome back Captain Astrid, but what happened to your ship?" the control officer asked.

"It's a long story, but please inform General Stoick that will explain everything once we arrive," said Astrid.

"Affirmative," said the control officer.

"Time to say hello to my dad," said Hiccup.


Once they landed they made their way to the control centre in the capital and found Stoick, Gobber and several other leaders.

"It's good to see you Captain," said Stoick. "Was your mission a success?"

"Yes," said Astrid honestly. She then moved Hiccup forward so that everyone could see him. "General, I wish you to meet Hiccup Haddock."

There was utter silence as everyone's eyes turned upon Hiccup and Astrid had a feeling that they were expecting a bit more from him. Astrid had to admit that there wasn't much similarity between him and his father apart from his eyes.

Stoick took a quite a long time to find his voice. "Tell us what happened."

They then began to explain them everything to meeting Maz, from being abducted by Dagur, from the destruction of The Deadly Nadder, to Hiccup's sudden appearance and all the way to their rescue on Dromund Kaas.

Once they finished everyone just stood there's utter silence. But this was clearly quite a lot of process and they were just trying to figure out how to comprehend what they just said.

"So you manager penetrate the planetary shield surrounding the First Order's base, managed to escape one of the most accomplished admirals in known history and doing all that without losing a single man," Stoick concluded.

"Very much," said Hiccup.

"The boys are stubborn and boarheaded as you ever were," said Gobber looking at Stoick.

Stoick couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"Sir, we should also inform you that our ship was sabotage just before we landed on Takodana and moments later the First Order appeared," said Astrid.

"It is now clear that we have a spy among us," said Stoick.

"But who would betray us?" Gobber asked.

"There's Alvin, he did support the Galactic Empire," said Spitelout.

Stoick shook his head. "Doubtful, you might have supported them at the beginning, but he did help us at the very end providing us with vital information upon their super weapon at great risk to his life."

"They also didn't know about the defence codes. That's what they were trying to get from me," said Heather.

"Well, that rules out quite a few people," said Stoick. "Still it's not enough to predict the spy."

"Might explain how they're able to ambushes every single time we leave Berk," said Gobber.

"Until we find this spy we must assume that every mission will involve the First Order appearance," said Stoick.

"As if it wasn't hard enough," Mildew grumbled. "And how do we know we can trust this so-called son of yours, he doesn't even have proved that he is your son."

"Actually, I never said I was," said Hiccup.

"You aren't?" Tuffnut stared.

"Then how come you have the same last name?" Ruffnut asked.

Hiccup facepalmed himself.

"Guys, he's is the General's son," said Astrid.

"But he just said he wasn't," said Tuffnut.

"Enough," said Stoick. He then turned to Mildew. "I'd be careful what you say next Mildew, I believe that he is my son and I am proud of him. I'm also getting sick and tired of you second-guessing everyone my orders."

"Yeah, I dunno why we keep you around," said Gobber.

"I'd watch where you step, Stoick, you might find yourself toppling over a cliff," said Mildew warningly.

"Is that a threat," said Stoick marching up to him.

"A warning," said Mildew.

"Can we get back to the task at hand?" said Hiccup, hoping to keep the peace.

Stoick then turned back to the control panel. "Finding this spy has to be our top priority, but we also cannot back down from the First Order."

"We don't even know what the planning," said Spitelout.

"I might be able to help with that," said Hiccup. He then looked around at all the leaders. "But I would like to discuss it with private with my…" He suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, "dad."

Stoick is understood why he wanted to discuss this in private, for he knew that the spy could be anyone here.

"Gobber, Captain Astrid, stay here the rest of you leave," said Stoick.

"Can me and Heather stay as well?" Ragnar asked.

Stoick nodded.

A few of the leaders felt resemble for being tossed out of the command centre, but they grudgingly followed orders. Once they were all gone Stoick looked to Hiccup.

"While we were at Dromund Kaas I had R3 take quite a bit data from their servers, including their attack plans," said Hiccup.

R3 then rolled up and inserted his spike into a data port within the control panel and began to twist it. At once a holographic display of attack plans are schematics for new weapons appeared.

"Look at this," said Gobber looking at the schematics. "It looks like they were planning on building advanced fighters, improved shielding and dangerous weapons."

"And these attack plans show wish system the going to be attacking in turn," said Astrid.

"Son, you've just given us a chance to hold off the First Order," said Stoick.

"I just wish this data could beat them," said Hiccup.


Meanwhile upon Dromund Kaas, Dagur, Viggo and Ryker were standing in front of Drago Bludvist, who did not look particularly pleased.

"You're saying that they managed to penetrate our shields!" Drago roared.

"It was only the one ship," said Dagur. "And it was piloted by Hiccup Haddock."

"Then why did you not blow them out of the sky when you have the chance!" Drago roared.

When Dagur faced against Heather he sent a connection with and he did not yet know what it meant, he however was determined to find out and wanted no one else to discover this connection.

"We need the Berk defence codes something our spy seemed reluctantly to give," said Dagur.

"It is true that our spy doesn't seem to be able to access the defence codes and it is true that both Captain Astrid and Lieutenant Heather are within the General Stoick's confidence," said Viggo.

"But if they were able to penetrate the planetary shield that means they can do it again," said Ryker.

"Hardly," said Viggo. "For starters I believe they penetrated a shield by entering passive in hyperspace, a cruiser would not be able to turn in time before it collided with the planet. Also not many fighters would be able to pull up in time before they crashed I imagine that only Hiccup is the only one capable of piloting at such close proximity to the planet and his ship are the only vessel that could possibly pull up in time.

"The Resistance fleet would still have to try and penetrate defences, meaning that they would both have two deactivate a shield generator and devastate our fleet. I have therefore placed extra security upon our shield generator and as far fleet I imagine if they could muster such power they would have already done it, but I suggest that we do our best to fortify the fleet."

"Do what you must, Darth Calculus," said Drago. He then turned to both Dagur and Ryker. "Darth Derangus and Darth Ravage the two of you have the task of killing both Jedi Knights Hiccup Haddock and Ragnar Keatson."

"But what of Valka, she still remained out of our grasp," said Dagur.

"We will do so in time, but our main priority should be Hiccup Haddock and Ragnar Keatson I remember them during the Clone Wars and know their victories, they are the main reason how the Republic survived so long during the war and it was they that destroyed the Red Death and killed a beloved Emperor."

"It shall be done my Lord," said Viggo as he bowed.

Dagur and Ryker then bowed as well.


Hiccup soon found himself in the unusual position, by Stoick's orders he had been made a general as had Ragnar. He was always more comfortable in leading small groups rather than large armies, but he had to make do as he did during the Clone Wars.

He was at the moment doing some maintenance on The Night Fury, Stoick had informed him with the destruction of Astrid's ship, The Deadly Nadder, that they would have to use the use of his ship for important missions.

"I see you like to attend your ship," said a voice.

Hiccup raised his welding mask and saw Astrid had just entered into the hangar where The Night Fury was being kept.

"She has been around for a long time and I like to keep in working condition," said Hiccup.

"How did you get her?" Astrid asked as she traced a hand upon the ship. "I thought XS Stock have been put out of production for centuries."

"I won her in a card game," said Hiccup.

"Did your opponent realise that he was playing against the Jedi?" Astrid asked.

"Yes, but he always wanted to beat a Jedi at sabacc," said Hiccup. "You should have seen his face when he lost."

Astrid chuckled. "I always wanted to see one of the ships, I'm glad I got the chance."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about your ship," said Hiccup. "It looked like a fine piece of engineering."

"She was," said Astrid sadly. "When I get my hands on the guy who blew her to bits I'll…" She then began to make hand gestures that resembled her crushing the throat of a person which deeply disturbed Hiccup. Astrid noticed this and quickly calm down. "Sorry, I get a bit worked up when someone touches my ship and even more so when someone blows her up."

"I think that's entirely reasonable," Hiccup smiled.

"Anyway, I've read through your military reports during the Clone Wars," said Astrid.

"Oh, and what do they tell you?" Hiccup asked.

"That you lead most of the excess for campaigns, like the Revelation of Ryloth, where you block through the blockade after losing half of your forces. You also destroyed a Separatist dreadnought with a prototype stealth ship, without firing a single shot and then you took part in the Battle of Christophsis where you are seriously outnumbered. You also there at the Battle of Coruscant where you killed one of the Separatist leaders, a Sith, then you took part at the Battle of Utapau, one of the last major battles during the end of the Clone Wars, and killed the droid general, Grievous."

"You certainly did your research on me," said Hiccup.

"I also noticed that both you and Ragnar usually served in the same campaigns, I take it was because the two of you worked well together," said Astrid.

"Yeah, I often dealt with sabotage, infiltration and ambushes while Ragnar dealt with the frontal assaults with his healing powers he was to minimise the casualties from our troops."

"Though I have to say that some of your methods are unorthodox," said Astrid.

"I admit sometimes and not by the book, but you sometimes have to bend the rules in order to save lives."

"Well, I hope I see them in action," said Astrid and she walked off.

Hiccup felt extremely hot under the collar as he watched her leave and felt his face turning pink. Spending time with Astrid was suddenly going to be an interesting experience, he suddenly felt unfocused which has never happened before in his life and wondered whether it was going to be a good or bad experience.
