On Coruscant, Darth Vader takes an airspeeder to the Jedi Temple.. He can feel her there with her Master.. She is so familiar to him, her smiling face resembling that of Ashlyn.. His sister, pure Ashlyn.. Married to the one that made him like this.. He then felt his anger rising again.. The one that took his legs, his arm.. Made him wear this breathing mask to survive.. He was going to take him down in front of the girl.. Then he was going to let her go.. But not before he scared her too.. Let her go and find Ashlyn then, tell her that HE had taken her love away.. Just like Obi-Wan took Kina from him.. Maybe he would just use Jade as a trap.. When they come to find her he could take Ashlyn down, and bring his brother to the dark side.. Where they could rule together, just as they talked about when they were children.. Growing up in poverty with Watto, on Tatooine.. They had played games with the other children where they were the Masters.. How they had all hated living with Watto as their Master.. But he had gotten old and was alone.. Now it was his turn to take revenge on Obi-Wan Kenobi.....
As Steela and Jayden landed their ship, they stopped and looked around.. There were senate guards scattered around, with just a few clones that were left.. "We might be too late Steela, they have sealed the entrances." Jayden said to her.. "So you mean to tell me, that you did not have a special way of getting in and out unnoticed?" Steela asked him.. "You know me so well." Jayden said to her with a smile.. "That's why I married you, my love." Steela said to him.. "The best day of my life." Jayden said to her.. "Well we are not here to remember our wedding.. We need to get back to our own people." Steela said to him.. "Yes, I sometimes forget I am married to a woman of power.." Jayden said to her as he led her down the path past the clones.. "I would hardly call it power.." Steela said to him.. "Why not, commanding an army is a powerful thing to do, my sweet." Jayden said to her.. She smiled at his words, he was always teasing her.. "And we are in." Jayden said to her..
"Did you see them enter?" Eno asked Cere.. "Yes, one is a Padawan, is that correct?" Cere asked.. "Yes.. One that left the order before the fall." Eno replied.. "So what is our plan now?" Cere asked him.. "We wait and see. They have a ship.. We will wait by it, to keep it safe for them to bring the other two back." Eno said to her.. "Understood." Cere replied looking around for somewhere to make a little camp..
Vader has arrived, and steps out of his airspeeder.. "The Temple has been sealed, Lord Vader. We await your orders." Commander Fox said, rushing over to him.. "Let no one in or out of this building.. Unless authorised by me.. Is that understood?" Vader asked him.. "What of the Emperor?" Fox asked him.. "He will not be giving orders again.." Vader said to him.. "Well then we have two full companies of Clones.. Plus a large contingent of Coruscant Security Force.." Fox said to him with pride.. "Good work.." Vader said to him.. Something left over from Cade he guessed.. "May I ask about the nature of the.. Ah problem.. Is it to do with order 66?" Fox asked, thinking he was now friends with the dark lord.. Vader looked down at him, that feeling he had from Cade was fleeting.. "Yes, you must have missed some." Vader said, walking away from him..
"Jocasta NO!" Jade yells as Jocasta jumps down to take on The Grand Inquisitor.. But Jocasta had landed in front of the Grand Inquisitor with her lightsaber out.. He stood and ignited his red one.. Of course it was a double bladed one with a circle in the middle.. "How dare you defile MY Temple records." Jocasta said to him.. "Why would I not, you denied me any time or knowledge of the Jedi Order.." The Grand Inquisitor replied.. "You were not worthy to wipe your feet at our door." Jocasta said to him.. "Now why would that be, old lady?" The Grand Inquisitor asked her.. "Because you are a traitor to the Jedi order!" Jocasta said to him.. "But I think you have it wrong now.. Aren't all Jedi now traitors to the Empire?" The Grand Inquisitor said to her.. "Did you have to bait him?" Jade said as she dropped down next to Jocasta.. "Yes, he is but trash." Jocasta said to her.. "Trash with a mighty impressive red lightsaber.. Who did you steal that from, you thief?" Jade asked him.. "Some traitorous Jedi, just like you two." The Grand Inquisitor said to them.. It is then they begin to do the Jedi dance together.. "Whoever trains you did a dismal job, Jocasta could have taken you without my help." Jade said, taunting him, making him angry.. "You know taunting me is only going to fuel his fire, Jade." Jocasta said to her.. As they do the Jedi dance, with lightsabers whooshing and crossing again and again...
"Wow, Jocasta can really move." Steela whispered to Jayden as they found them together.. Jocasta was dancing around like she was twenty, jumping up on desks, and like Obi-Wan taking the high ground.. "You are nothing but a Temple Guard, you were never a Jedi.. You were never worthy of being one." Jade said to him as they danced.. "Unlike you, you are a spoiled brat, always riding on Kenobi's robe tales.." The Grand Inquisitor said to Jade.. "Oh that has got to hurt." Jayden said to Steela.. "It doesn't seem to bother her, Jay." Steela said to him.. "You're right, it seems Katooni and Petro were indeed wrong to call us.. Jade can more than handle herself." Jayden said to her.. "I think they just wanted Saw to come back." Steela said.. "Why did you become Sith?" Jocasta asked The Grand Inquisitor.. "I am not yet, but I am close." He replied.. Jade laughed at him fueling his anger towards them.. "Why would you betray your brothers and sisters, betray your use of The Force?" Jocasta asked him.. "Brothers and sisters? I do not know who they are.." The Grand Inquisitor said.. "They are the Jedi you were supposed to protect!" Jade yelled at him. But she knew his anger.. "The Jedi! All they ever did for me was steal me away from my family.. They always denied me access to anything, no love, no form of kindness, only teachings over and over again.. All about the light side of the Force.. Never about the dark side.. The dark side filled an emptiness that the Jedi never could." The Grand Inquisitor yelled at them..
Steela and Jayden watched on with huge eyes listening to the argument.. "Do you know who your family is, Jay?" Steela asked him in a quiet voice.. "No.. Like Jade I was brought up here in the Jedi temple.. I never questioned it.. I neve questioned the Jedi order.. Only when they turned on Roan before they knew if he was guilty or not, did I even think about it." Jayden replied.. "I'm sorry Jay." Steela said to him.. "It's alright, I have a new family now.. I have you, Saw and Jade.. It also seems like a few young Jedi too.." Jayden said looking at her with love..
"You always denied me access to any of your precious books and archives.. Now I can read all the lies you told your young Jedi.." The Grand Inquisitor said to her.. "Don't you mean all the secrets?" Jade asked him.. "No he meant lies Jade." Jocasta said.. "I hate you so........" The Grand Inquisitor said as he made Jocasta fall from her place.. She dropped her lightsaber and Forced pushed him halfway across the room.. "You were never worthy of looking at the Jedi Archives." Jocasta yelled at him.. "Anger, Master Nu, do not become what he is.." Jade said to her.. "Yes, feel the anger, old woman.. I will gladly lead you down the dark path.." The Grand Inquisitor said to her.. "Now that I would like to see, you Sith Scum!" Jade yelled at him.. "I will protect my Jedi Archives until the end, you silly man.. I have honour, unlike you.. I was one of the Jedi Archivists for a reason.. Because I always protect what needs to be protected. Just like a true Jedi." Jocasta said to him.. The Grand Inquisitor then began to laugh.. "I am so glad you find us amusing." Jade said to him.. "Not amusing, just stupid, like all Jedi.." He said to Jade.. "How so?" Jade asked, taking the bait.. "Because there is no Jedi Order anymore.. Also because you can never see what is coming for you." The Grand Inquisitor said as he Force threw Jade halfway across the room.. Causing Jocasta to fall and lose her lightsaber..
"Sabres stars, Jay, I think you need to help them now!" Steela said to him as they watched.. "Yes, I would hate to go back and tell Gar that the Grand Inquisitor cut Jocasta down." Jayden said to her.. Jayden was just about to stand and go to help, when he entered the room His presence filling the room with evil, he stood over Jocasta with his blue lightsaber stopping the red one from doing any damage.. Jade lay on the floor watching him, she could feel him, she knew who it was instinctively.. "Cade.." she berated at the same time Jayden did.. "Roan's Master Cade?" Steela asked, watching him.. "Yes." Jayden whispered.. "Why have you stopped me from killing this.. This Jedi!?" The Grand Inquisitor yelled at Vader.. "I do not wish for her to be executed... at this time.. Now where are the others?" Vader asked him.. "Other's, there is only one.. Quinn.. Kenobi's faithful little puppy.." The Grand Inquisitor said to him.. He then pointed to Jade who was laying beside her lightsaber in total shock.. "Cade?" Jade asked, standing.. "Where is he?" Vader asked her.. "Who?" Jade asked, picking up her lightsaber.. "Kenobi!" Vader yelled at her in anger.. "What happened to you?" Jade asked with sadness.. No one deserves to be treated like that, to exist like that she thought.. "KENOBI!" Vader yelled at Jade.. "Is he still alive?" Jade asked.. It was then that Jocasta made her move.. She Force threw a wall of holo books at them both... As she runs up the pillar towards Jade..
Jayden then helps Jocasta and Jade, he Force pushes more halo books into the Grand Inquisitor.. Giving the girls time to come together.. With the Grand Inquisitor knocked out, Vader takes advantage of his power and chases the two girls to the upper levels.. "Surrender, and no harm will come to you or Kenobi's little pet." Vader said to Jocasta.. "Never!" Jocasta and Jade said to him as they ran.. "There is no escape, I have sealed every entrance and exit!" Vader said as he casually followed them.. "You think a few clones and ex-temple guards are going to stop us?" Jade asked him with a smile.. The smile he remembered, the smile that reminded him of Ashlyn.. The same smile she gave him when they met during the purge.. "Do it." She had said to him.. He remembered it like it was only yesterday..
"Why didn't he just kill them Jay?" Steela whispered.. "He needs them alive.. Well he needs Jocasta for information.. He needs Jade for a different reason it seems." Jayden said to her.. "He is going to use her as bait for Obi-Wan?" Steela asked.. "It would seem so.. Whatever he did, Cade hates him really badly now." Jayden said to her.. It is about that time that Jocasta uses the Force button again to slip into the Archive Vault again.. "Welcome Master Nu and Padawan Quinn.." Cator said to them.. "Why are we back in here Jocasta?" Jade asked thinking that maybe she knew of a way out that Jade did not.. "I have to erase any information on the holo books in order to deny The Sith the knowledge and secrets of the Jedi.." Jocasta said to her.. "But Cade was a Jedi." Jade said to her.. "But not a Master that sat on the council.." Jocasta said to her.. "So Obi-Wan was right when he said there was more to being a Jedi then I knew about?" Jade asked her.. "Yes, Jade, I am sorry to say." Jocasta said to her..
"Where did they go?" Steela asked.. "Into the vault.. Jocasta must have a reason for it." Jayden said to her.. "Is there a way out from there?" Steela asked.. "Not that I know of." Jayden said.. As Vader entered the vault behind the two Jedi.. Cato scanned him on the way in.. "Hello Master Cade Skywalker. Your presence here is not authorised.. You will have to confer with Master Nu, to gain access into this room.. Is there something else I can help you with?" Cato asked him.. By now Cade is really angry, he had always been denied access to this vault. Now that he has become the Dark Lord, he is now still being denied access.. "No!" Vader said as he sliced the droid's left arm off.. "Well there is no need for that kind of violence Master Skywalker.. If you have a problem with protocol, you must speak to the Jedi council or Master Nu. Now you should leave, before I call security." Cato said to him.. "No need, I have it covered.!" Vader yelled at him as he sliced him in half then stomped on his components.. "Now you will neve know what the Jedi have been hiding from you Cade." Jade said to him.. "I do not go by that name anymore.." Vader said to her.. "Oh I am sorry, do I now have to bow down and call you my Dark Lord?" Jade asked him with a giggle.. "You mock me?" Vader said to her.. "Oh yes, My Lord, I do." Jade said giggling again..
As Cato's head hit him in the back.. Jade looked around Vader, to see Jayden and Steela standing there in the doorway.. Jade smiled at them, before Vader slowly turned towards them.. "Master Skywalker." Jayden said to him.. For a moment Vader saw Kina, smiling at him.. He could see now what she had said was true, he was his.. His son, Jayden Kyle.. The son she had hid from him for years.. "Jade, Run!" Jayden said to her.. "No!" Jocasta said to her.. "Jayden?" Vader said to him in a soft voice, he could feel his nerves, as he stood before him.. "What have you become Master Skywalker?" Jayden asked him.. "Join me son." Vader said to him, holding out his hand.. "What?" Steela and Jayden asked at the same time.. "Oh no.." Jade said looking at Jayden.. As Vader stood there holding out his hand to Jayden.. Jocasta had found the lightsaber gun.. "What in the stars is that?" Jade asked Jocasta as she loaded her own lightsaber into it.. Vader quickly turned from Jayden to Jocasta.. She shoots it at him, knocking him to the ground.. "RUN!" Jade yells.. As she steps over Vader to get to Steela and Jayden.. Who turn and ran.. "Jade, is what he is saying true?" Jayden asked as they tried to run.. "Now is not the time Jayden.. But yeah I think so." Jade said to him as he stopped and stumbled over Vader.. Who grabbed him by the ankle.. "Jayden!" Steela yelled running back to him..
By now Vader had regained his balance and stood holding on to Jayden.. Steela stood with Jade watching on.. While Jocasta took aim again with her lightsaber gun.. "Kill him Madame Jocasta, he has bewitched us all.. Kill him now, for every Jedi who has fallen.." Jayden said to her.. "Jayden, that is not the Jedi way." Jade said to him.. "No, but it is the way of the Sith.. Do it Jocasta, do it, while Cade still lives." Vader said to her.. He was willing to meet his maker, he hated what he had become, what that evil grub in his cell with no hands had made him into... Forgetting all about Obi-Wan and Mustafar.........................................
