Viggo has soon exited from hyperspace and was flying down towards Dathomir. He had Darth Maul in his TIE with him, which meant that he had very little room to manoeuvre. He managed to give Darth Maul are sensitive to keep them quiet, the last thing he wanted was for them to crash into the planet.

"We'll soon have you back to your former self, Maul," said Viggo as he landed on the planet surface in front of the monastery.

He opened the carpet and used the Force to lift Darth Maul out and soon he himself got out of the TIE. He then slowly made his way to the monastery and the ones appearing in green flames was Mother Talzin.

"I see that you have returned," said Talzin. She then turned her eyes onto Maul. "And with a friend."

"I think it would be more accurate to say that he is an ally and right now you need your help," said Viggo. "His mind is damaged, no doubt caused by Hiccup when he sliced his bottom half. He doesn't really remember his old life."

"But he remembers some of it," said Talzin as she began to examine Maul's body.

"He suddenly remembers Hiccup, though that should not be surprising," said Viggo. "I've given him a sedative to calm him down, but I can't say how long it will last."

"Then let us fix what has been done," said Talzin as she began to move her hands into a circle.

She then created a green flame and it floated around Maul. His eyes then awoke and Viggo load him down and he began to follow the green flame as if he was hypnotised by it.

"Come to me. Come to me," Talzin chanted. "Follow us, son of Dathomir. Follow me, lost one. Come, child of Dathomir. Follow me."

She then led him into the monastery and Viggo followed close behind, he still didn't fully trust Talzin, but she was the only one capable of restoring Maul's mind. If she was excess for the next challenge would be to convince Maul to help him, but he had accounted for that.

Once they entered the monastery Talzin led Maul towards a alter and while he was still following the green flames. She then placed a single thing on his temple and began to topple over.

"Sleep," she said.

He then fell onto the altar and at once his spiderlike legs began to drop off screamed in agony.

"Now what?" Viggo asked.

"Now we begin," said Talzin.

She then spun a finger around Maul's head and a form of green energy circle around it.

"Amenda vla'ben troshana bon'te. Amenda vla'ben troshana bon'te!" Talzin chanted as he placed a hand through the circle.

They then became ghostlike and they sank right into Maul's head. At once Maul's eyes shot open and Viggo watched as Talzin removed some sort of dark presence from his mind. She perform the same process again and again until she waved her arms around creating an orb of green flames.

Maul then rose into the air and green magic began to flow around his body. Maul then waved her hands once again and wires shot out from the discarded battle droids that littered the floor and attach themselves to Maul's torso. She waved her hands again and the metal from the droids then attach themselves onto the wire and they seem to weld onto one another causing Maul to yell in pain.

Viggo then noticed that Maul's complexion had changed dramatically, it was not as dirty looking and healthier than it had been. His horns had shrunk in size and were now more normal working for a Zabrak of his age.

Talzin then lowered Maul back down to the altar. "Arise, Maul, reborn son of Dathomir," she said as she placed a finger on his temple.

Talzin then vanished the moment that Maul opened his eyes. Maul got up and looked at his surroundings and then saw Viggo. "Who are you?"

"Like you I'm a Sith Lord and I'm the one that rescued you from your madness," said Viggo. "My name is Darth Calculus, but most know me as Viggo."

Maul looked down his legs and saw that they were completely mechanical. "My legs," he said.

"They've been restored by Mother Talzin," said Viggo.

Maul looked as if he didn't take any notice and was more fixated on his legs. "It's been so long, my path has been so dark, darker than I ever dreams it could be."

Maul then removed himself from the altar and the moment he placed his legs on the ground he toppled over.

"And yet you survived," said Viggo. "Anyone else suffering from such a wound would have died instantly, yet you lived."

Maul narrowed his eyes at him. "Of course I survived."

He then ran outside and Viggo followed him and the moment he was out of the monastery he roared into the sky.

"My hatred kept my spirit intact even though my body was not. Yet I was lost and became a rabid animal, and such is how you found me: Discarded, forgotten." He then began to feel the Force around him and felt something different. "I have missed so much. The force feels out of balance."

"Yes," said Viggo. "You have missed much. After you suppose the death, Darth Imperious took another apprentice by the name of Drago. Drago then led the great Jedi Purge crushing the Jedi and then began a Galactic Empire.

"Unfortunately it was short lived, for Rebels began to pop out from all across the system and banded together. Remaining Jedi led a strike force against Darth Imperious and he was killed aboard the Red Death. His apprentice, Drago, wounded, but alive then took the role as Emperor and began the First Order.

"He now lead our forces against those that try to stop us, the Resistance. He did manage to stop the Jedi from reassembling themselves a few years back and now there's very little of them."

"Yes, I have indeed missed a lot," said Maul. He then turned to Viggo. "Though I wonder why you came after me and what you want from me. I only served one through mast and now he's dead according to you, what makes you think that I would serve a pretender?"

"I never said you should serve him," said Viggo. "But wouldn't it be best to kill him when you convince him that you serve him loyally?"

"And what makes you think that he would allow me to join his Order?" Maul asked.

"Because the main reason why I brought you back, is so that I could capture one certain Jedi that he's been craving for," said Viggo.

"I have no interest in just some Jedi, there's only one that I am interested in," said Maul began to walk away.

"The Jedi that he's after is Hiccup Haddock," Viggo smirked.

Maul came to a sudden stop and turned to face him. "Hiccup Haddock?"

"Yes, I thought that might gain your attention," said Viggo smiled. "He has been quite meddlesome of late and there are rumours that he is trying to re-organise the Jedi. We need the information where the Jedi are held and he's the only one who knows."

"I want him dead," said Maul.

"Naturally, but wouldn't it be best to kill them after we've gained the information we need?" Viggo asked as he presented Maul with a duel-bladed lightsaber.

Maul recognised it as his lightsaber. He didn't trust Viggo, but he wanted vengeance on Hiccup more than anything else. He raised his hand in began to use the Force to summon it to his hand. At first it didn't move, but after about a minute it flew into his hand.

"I was apprentice to the most powerful being in the galaxy once. I was destined to become so much more, but I was robbed of that destiny by the Jedi, by Hiccup Haddock," Maul growled.

"Then do you suggest that we work together?" Viggo asked.

Maul looked at him. "For now."


Hours later they jumped out of hyperspace on Viggo's TIE Fighter and flew down to a small inhabited planet called Raydonia. The inhabitants there were just simple farmers and they could stand against two Sith.

"I see you're trying to attract his attention," said Viggo as a land on the outskirts of the village.

"Yes, you and I both know that with a galaxy at war, there is only one way to get the attention of the Jedi Slaughter of the innocent, mercilessly and without compromise."

They then slowly made their way to the village activating their lightsabers.


Meanwhile on Berk, Hiccup had just returned to the planet and had just landed in the hangar bay. He had just exited from The Night Fury and was met by Astrid, who looked pleased to see him back.

"Glad you're back," said Astrid. "How are the younglings?"

"They're fine," said Hiccup. "As are their guardians, it did turn a few heads, but as I explained what had happened the Jedi completely understood. They should be safe."

"You're still gonna tell us where they are?" Astrid asked raising an eyebrow. "Even despite all our victories."

"Not just yet," said Hiccup.

Astrid sighed. "Hiccup, I don't like you keeping secrets like this and neither does anyone else. You haven't even told Ragnar and he's your best friend."

"I just can't risk it, we've lost so much and were not back to full strength yet," said Hiccup. "It's better for them to wait in the shadows to regain strength then to charge headfirst into battle without thinking."

"I see your point, but still you could at least send a few Jedi here it would bolster the men's morale," Astrid pointed out.

Hiccup could see that Astrid was not going to let this drop. "I'll think about it."

Astrid was about to say something else, but then they saw Ragnar heading towards them with a panicked look on his face.

"Ragnar? What's wrong?" Hiccup asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

Ragnar just looked at him his face for fear. "You don't know how close you are."


Ragnar led both Hiccup and Astrid to the command centre and inside in the middle of the control panel they saw Darth Maul walking up and down between a row of captured civilians.

"There will be more innocent blood on your hands, Hiccup, unless you come here," said Maul. "Face me. Come alone, and if you do not, this world…" They watch in horror as Maul drew out his lightsabers and sliced the heads of the prisoners, "will burn."

The transmission ended their and everyone looked at Hiccup.

"I have to go," said Hiccup and he made his way to the door.

"Not alone, you're not," said Ragnar placing a hand on his shoulder.

"He said to come alone," said Hiccup looking back at Ragnar. "You see what he's capable of. He's a broken, unbalanced monster. I've dealt with him before. I can do it again."

"This is clearly a trap," said Ragnar.

"I started this and I have to finish it," said Hiccup. "If I don't come go to another system and kill the innocents there."

"I'm not saying you shouldn't go, what I'm saying is that you shouldn't go alone," said Ragnar. "At least take me with you."

Hiccup shook his head. "It has to be me."

They watch as he made his way to the door.

"Son, who was that?" Stoick asked.

"Someone who supposed to be dead," said Hiccup without turning round to face his father.

He then walked out the door which closed behind him and then everyone turned to Ragnar.

"I've never seen him act like this," said Astrid. "Who was that madman?"

Ragnar sighed. "That was Darth Maul, he led the Separatists during the Clone Wars and was opposed to be killed during the Battle of Coruscant by Hiccup."

"Clearly he didn't do a good enough job," said Snotlout snobbishly.

"Hiccup sliced right through his torso and then he fell about one hundred feet into the reactor of a Separatist dreadnought," said Ragnar.

Everyone's eyes widened.

"And he survived that?" Heather stared.

"The Sith have a way to cling onto life," said Ragnar grimly. "Though I never imagined someone could survive wounds like the ones Hiccup dealt."

"If I remember my military history correctly, then that dreadnought crash on Coruscant," Astrid frowned. "Then how was he able to call his way out of a burning dreadnought and of the Republic capital city during the middle of a war?"

"I don't know," said Ragnar crossing his arms. "I just don't know."

Astrid hesitated to ask, but she had to get something off a chest. "There's another reason why Hiccup to go after Darth Maul, isn't there."

"Darth Maul was the one that sliced Hiccup's leg off," said Ragnar.

"So was he looking for an eye for an eye?" said Snotlout. "Isn't revenge against the Jedi or for something?"

"You didn't let me finish," said Hiccup. "Hiccup lost his leg during the Battle of Geonosis when both he and his master fought against Darth Maul, in the hopes to prevent his escape. During that battle Orgus Din was killed by Maul."

Everyone went silent and before anyone could stop, Astrid ran out the door after Hiccup.


Hiccup was now prepping The Night Fury with R3 and Toothless. He was just about finished when Astrid appeared with a distraught look on her face.

"Hiccup, you can't," said Astrid.

Hiccup sighed. "Ragnar told everyone, didn't he?"

"That that madman sliced off your leg and killed your master," said Astrid.

"That you know why I must do this, I thought I killed him during the Battle of Coruscant, but now I find that he is alive and driven mad by vengeance," said Hiccup. "I have to stop them before he intended any more people."

"I understand that, but you can't do it alone," said Astrid.

Toothless roared and R3 beeped in agreement.

"Not you two as well," said Hiccup.

"At least take me with you," said Astrid.

Hiccup rubbed his forehead and looked back at Astrid, who had that same determined look that inspired him. He that if Maul saw that he wasn't alone he could very well kill the remaining hostages, if he hadn't done that already.

"Fine," said Hiccup, "but on one condition. You follow my orders, if I tell you to run, you run. If I tell you to leave me, leave me."

Astrid paused slightly not wanting to agree to these terms, but it was the only way to go along with him.

"Let's doesn't come to that," said Astrid.

Hiccup nodded in agreement. "R3, you're coming with me."

R3 beeped and made his way onto the ramp.

Toothless roared indignantly.

"I'm sorry, bud, but you're too inconspicuous," said Hiccup.

Toothless watches the ramp closed and seconds later The Night Fury took off. Hiccup then exited the planet's atmosphere handed into hyperspace, hoping that he was not too late.


Hours later, The Night Fury landed on Raydonia. Hiccup, Astrid and R3 made their way to the ramp.

"R3, you stay here," said Hiccup. He then turned and looked at Astrid. "While I'm busy dealing with Maul, you go and find the prisoners, if there are any left."

"All right, but at the first sign of trouble you signal me," said Astrid.

Hiccup nodded and the two of them went their separate ways. Hiccup walked straight into the village while Astrid circled around it.

As he made his way for the village, Hiccup saw that the place was littered with bodies of the villagers. It was likely that Maul had killed everyone.

"Jedi!" a voice roared. Hiccup looked up and saw that Maul was standing on burning wreckage glaring down at him, eyes fall of hatred. "I have been waiting for you."

"Maul," said Hiccup as he stared up at the Sith lord. "So you are alive."

"No thanks to you," said Maul. "You cannot imagine the depths I would go to to stay alive, fuelled by my singular hatred for you."

"That may be so, but I defeated you before, and I can defeat you again," said Hiccup defiantly deactivated his lightsabers.

Maul chuckled. "Don't be so certain."

Hiccup then sent another presence behind him and turned to find Viggo standing there.

"Viggo?" Hiccup gasped.

"I knew that Maul would be able to draw you out into the open," said Viggo as he activated his lightsaber.

"Surprised the two of you are working together," said Hiccup pointing one lightsaber and each of the Sith lords.

"Normally we wouldn't be, but we do have a common enemy and that means we have common ground," said Viggo.

"Viggo as promised that I get to kill you once he and his allies retrieve the information about the Jedi safe haven," said Maul as he jumped down from the wreckage and land on the ground. "He even said that I could do all the torturing."

Viggo then charged and Hiccup quickly blocked his attack with the lightsaber it his right hand. Maul then charted him doing the same as Viggo and Hiccup blocked that attack with the lightdaber in his left hand.

Hiccup then used the Force to push the two Sith lords back, but Maul, with his metal legs, was able to hold his ground and then struck Hiccup with them. He was sent flying into one of the burning buildings.

"Suppose about time so news that trick against me," Hiccup groaned clutching his chest.

Hiccup then deactivated the lightsaber in his left hand and began to fire the stun blaster. Maul blocked the shot with his lightsaber and Viggo came charging at him. Hiccup somersaulted over him and slammed his lightsaber towards Maul.

Maul, however, block them with his duel-blade and then use the Force to push him backwards over towards Viggo, who then dealt a powerful punch at the back of his head. Hiccup fell face first in the dirt and the two Sith lords began to approach him.

Maul was about to lay his hand on him, when a laser shot past him. The three of them turned to find Astrid standing there with a rifle in her hands.

"Stay away from the Jedi," Astrid warned.

"Who is this," said Maul.

"Major Astrid Hofferson, a member of the Resistance and someone Hiccup holds dear," said Viggo.

"Is that so," said Maul smiling. "First I killed his master and I get to kill his lover."

"Stay away from her," Hiccup warned.

"I did tell you to come alone," said Maul as he looked down at Hiccup. "I must admit that I'm surprised that you would have a lover, because if I remember correctly the Jedi don't believe in attachments."

"We're not a couple," said Hiccup.

"Is that so," said Maul not looking totally convinced. "Then you won't mind if I kill her then."

"You can try," said Astrid switching her rifle to her vibro-axe and pointed it at him.

"My, aren't you a spirited one," said Maul as he made his way over to Astrid. "I'll enjoy killing you."

He then charged at her and raised his lightsaber, but she quickly blocked it with her axe. Astrid then kicked him in the chest and while he was off balance tried to slam her axe on top of him. Maul saw this and easily sidestepped out of the way then dealt a powerful kick with his mechanical legs.

Astrid nearly toppled over and raised her axe just in time to block Maul's lightsaber. However, the impact did cause her to topple to the ground. Maul raised his blade and plunged his lightsaber towards, but she quickly rolled out of the way and it plunged into the ground.

Astrid then jumped to her feet and charged at him again, but he used the Force and sent flying into one of the burning houses.

"No!" Hiccup and got to his feet.

He used the Force and pushed Viggo and then ran straight towards Maul. He used the Force to retrieve his lightsabers and slammed his left blade towards Maul, who quickly avoided it. Maul then try to strike him with his lightsaber, but Hiccup blocked it with the right.

Hiccup then tried to stun him with the stun blast, but Maul quickly moved out of the way just as he pulled the trigger. Hiccup then quickly reactivated the light sabre and spun around slamming his blade down on top of Maul, who blocked it.

"My, I was not expecting this sort of aggression from you," said Maul. "You had always managed to calm your anger even in the heat of battle, but now you've lost because of one girl."

Maul then kneed him in the chest and Hiccup winced at the pain, but still kept fighting. He swung the blade in his right, but Maul sidestepped to avoid it. He then thrust his left blade, but Maul knocked it away.

Maul then tried to slam his lightsaber down on top of him, but Hiccup blocked it with a cross guard. Maul then placed all his weight down onto his lightsaber and Hiccup found himself sinking to his knee.

"That's right, Neel before your batter," said Maul. "You have never been able to truly defeat me. You could only take beyond when I was worn out from fighting two Jedi at once. Admit it that you could never defeat me one-on-one."

"You're want talk," said Hiccup as he fought to keep his guard up. "You're fighting with a second Sith. The only difference is I had full trust with my partner while you don't."

"Trust is for the weak only fear can provide the motivation to make others follow you," said Maul.

"Fear didn't have the Galactic Empire, it fell because of those who simply said: 'no'," said Hiccup as he stared into Maul's eyes. "There will always be those who will stand against tyranny."

"Then let them come, and let them be crushed," said Maul and with one final push he was able to break through Hiccup's guard.

His lightsaber was about to cut right through Hiccup, but then it stopped in mid-air. Maul's eyes quickly turned sideways and found that it was Viggo, who had stopped him.

"We need him alive," Viggo reminded.

Maul looked as if he wanted to argue, but he withdrew his lightsaber. "Agreed, but I expect that I can deal the final blow."

"I'm sure the Emperor will allow you to do that," said Viggo.

"That's assuming that he allows me to join the First Order," said Maul.

"I don't think there will be much feel that, you have after all have the price he seeks on a silver platter," said Viggo.

Hiccup then attempted with one last attempt to strike Maul down, but Viggo used the Force and slammed Hiccup into the walls of one of the burning buildings.

"Come, we have an appointment to keep," said Viggo. He then turned to one of the burning buildings, the same one where Astrid had flown in to. "What of the girl?"

"Let her tell her Resistance of it we've captured one of their prize Jedi," said Maul as he grabbed Hiccup's leg and dragged him across the ground.

Astrid had seen the entire advanced, but she was too weak to help Hiccup and could only watch as he was dragged away. That everything went black.


When Astrid's eyes opened she found R3 was in front of a beeping at her.

"I'm fine, R3," she said, though she still felt slightly dazed. "But they got Hiccup."

R3 beeped frantically.

"There was nothing I could do," said Astrid slamming a hand on the ground. "With got a contact Berk and tell them what has happened."


Hiccup came to and found himself strapped to a torture table. He then heard the sound of an electric door opening and saw Dagur, Viggo, Ryker and Maul entering into his cell. However, he sent a much darker presence close by that was not emanating from the four them.

Then descending down the steps was a muscular man with a mechanical right arm. Over his shoulders was a large dark cape and he wore dark armour. His hair and beard were wrapped in deadlocks and his face was heavily scarred. He was now face-to-face with the Emperor of the First Order, the betrayal of the Jedi Order. Drago Bludvist.

"You've done well Maul," said Drago as he looked to Maul. "Very well."

"Anything to rid us of this Jedi scum," said Maul. "Though I wish to be the one to kill him."

"Of course," said Drago. "I think that is fair considering what he did to you, but I first master extract the information that I need. The information of the location of the remaining Jedi."

"And what makes you think I'll tell you," said Hiccup as he narrowed his eyes down at Drago.

"Because we've got all the time in the world and it's only a matter of how much pain you can endure," said Drago.

Then to prove his point Drago shot lightning out of his good arm and struck Hiccup, who then roared in pain.

"This is only a taste of what's in store for you," said Drago.
