Garrison: "Alright, systems check."
Officer: "Shortwave is up. I also got ESM running and some basic receivers, Sir."
Garrison: "When we close in on Suez, try to reach Ismailia with directed antennas. Until then, stay dark."
Officer: "Aye, Captain."
Garrison: "Any blip from Tombstone?"
Officer: "Nothing. Not even the faintest trace of their beacons, Sir."

The car rattles as Irish drives. "Fucking piece of Shit!" Is what we have been hearing for the past hour on the road.

"You need me to drive Irish?" Hannah asks.

"I'm good, Hannah. I've got it." Irish replies. The past few days have brought Irish and Hannah into more of a mutual understanding of each other, to the point where Irish isn't always angry at Hannah. "I'll come up and join you." Hannah says. "We're not gonna last much longer without food or water. Watch our backs." She says to me.

As we reached a settlement, Irish slams the brakes and we duck to avoid being spotted by enemy patrolling armour. Once it passes, we drive to a small garage, only for me to have a knife at my neck, and pistols pointed at Irish and Hannah. They hurry us into the garage. After a quick update, they give us the location to their commanding officer, and we move out.

Once we reach Old Town, we are exhausted. I still don't know how we could still clear away the hostile forces to reach the town with our dehydration and hunger. But we made it none the less. It doesn't take long to find the Major. At the desk, we argue about our transport west.

"Why are you all still here?" She asks impatiently.

"Shor version, Ma'am, we are caught behind enemy lines." Irish begins.

"We wish to get back to our ship." Hannah finishes.

"If wishes were horses, you beggars would ride." Greenland snaps, then demands her coffee.

"Ma'am, it is imperative we find transport west." Hannah presses.

"Russians are stopping any transport entering or leaving." Greenland surmises.

"How strong are the Russians from the air?" Irish asks.

"Untouchable. Mobile SAMs cover the shore below the dam. They are heavily defended." Greenland continues.

"I can take care of the dam, give me a sec." I say, leaving the room. I sit down cross legged and concentrate. The dam was large, but it was weak in the middle. Mustering what power I could, I used the force to tear away large chunks of the dam t a time, soon causing the water to flow into the towns nearby. I stand up and re-enter the room. "Done." I say at a slack Jawed Major.

"I'm not even going to ask." Greenland says. "Alright, I'll get you some transport."

A/N – Skipping the in-between part and I will merge the two missions into one.

Waiting on the plane was the most boring thing of my life, and I had a high patience level, so that was saying something.

"Hook up! Hook up!" The jump master called. After hooking up, we checked the static lines and each others equipment. "Load drop!" He called, moving to the side as ammo crates dropped toward the Valkyrie. "GO! GO! GO!" He then gets us to launch. Landing on the Valkyrie, we fight our way through. After we cleared the deck, we made our way to the medical bay. Once we arrived, we met with Garrison and Jin Jie.

"Better late than never, squad." Garrison greets us. "We gotta get him out of here."

"Easy. You've been unconscious for several days. You shouldn't even be speaking." The doctor says.

"My voice is my weapon. If I am silenced, I am nothing." Jin Jie says, taking a sip of water. We are interrupted by banging on the doors. "They come for me? Chang's men?" He asks. Garrison hands Jin Jie a rifle, but he refuses. "I have put down my guns, Captain. My brothers will not kill me." Jin Jie reasons.

"They think you are dead!" Garrison counters.

"Then they must see me. Open the door Sergeant." Jin Jie tells me. I open the doors as asked, and lay down my weapons for the soldiers. Jin Jie then removes his mask, and the soldiers, overjoyed, shake his hand, and spread the word through their comms. The happy reunion is cut short as the ship shakes.

"Chang's warship is shooting at us." Garrison informs us.

"Take me to a turret and I can deal with them." I say. Pac leads me to one of the turrets on deck, where I take the helm. Focusing on all the pain and death caused within this game, I invoke fury. Channelling all my fury into the ammunition in the turret, I fire to the North. The next moment, a fireball erupts in the middle of the canal, as my shot rings true. "OO-RAH!" I shout, as I come back to my senses. As we walk back, we notice the Chinese soldiers on the ship honouring the fallen, both Chinese and marine, showing respect, and silently apologising for the death they caused. Once we meet back with Garrison and Jin Jie, my body begins to shimmer.

"The fuck is happening?" Garrison asks me.

"This was never my body to begin with, so my spirit is leaving and my normal body will begin forming shortly." I say. "Honestly, I had fun. Recker did too."

"Hawkins and Dunn both knew I wasn't Recker, ever since I saved them. Irish and Hannah and Pac also knew. I am pretty sure Jin Jie guessed." I say.

"Then who are you?" Garrison asks.

"Vex. My name is Vex Hunter." I say. "Before I leave, I want to ask if you would like to join me. Jin Jie, I know that you have to return to China and lead them. I wish you luck. But I mean the survivors of the Valkyrie." I say.

"We will come along. You are part of Tombstone now, Vex." Irish says, while Hannah and Pac nod in confirmation.

"That's five. Anyone else?" I ask.

"You have saved our lives more times than I can count. I think I can say that we will all come with you." Garrison says.

"Can we keep the ship?" I ask.

"If you are able to bring it with, then sure." Garrison approves.

Three Months later, Jin Jie and all Chinese soldiers were returned to China, and the Valkyrie was put in for repairs.

Two Years later, The Valkyrie was finished with repairs. I brought the crew along to Berk, where we arrived by the beginning of Race to the Edge. So far, integrating the marines into dragon society has worked well. Dunn had a new prosthetic leg that was supplied by the Republic and was put back with Tombstone.

By the end of Race to the Edge, the Valkyrie was refitted with some star wars weaponry and the Jets were able to be flown in space, becoming the first Starfighters of Berk.

Tombstone would continue to go on missions with Vex, Fives, Echo and sometimes Hiccup.

A/N – Ok, needed to finish this arc quickly, since I wanted to begin Race to the Edge. When I mentioned the beginning of RttE, it means during Season 1. For now, Nut Out
