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... Of course he also knew that Master Jocasta Nu would never shoot him down.. She was a true Jedi.. "If you are not going to shoot, then lay down your weapon.." Vader said to her.. Of course Jade and Jocasta could feel the dark side taking hold of Cade.. "Forgive me, Jade." Jocasta mumbled as she shot at Vader.. He deflected the fire this time, it came very close to hitting Steela and Jade.. "I did not think you had it in you, Master Nu.. You always were rather soft." Vader said to her..

"Cade, why did The Emperor make you into this?" Jade asked him.. "He did not make me, Kenobi did!" He roared at Jade with anger.. "Oh.. well now I understand why you asked where he was." Jade said with a smile.. "I don't care about any of that.. I do not believe you are my Father." Jayden said to him.. "Of course I am you disrespectful little pup.. Kina kept it from me, as she did from you.. But make no mistake you are mine." Vader said to him.. "I am no one's.." Jayden replied.. "Come, join me on the dark side.. You can bring your girl with you.. I will allow it.. I will teach you the ways of the dark side.. Together we will rule.." Vader said to him.. "You know don't you that you will never be able to take the light out of the galaxy." Jade said to him.. "I did not ask you Brat!" Vader said to her.. "I'm fine Jade, I will handle this." Jayden said to her.. "Okay.." Jade said, shrugging her shoulders.. "Do I get a say in all of this?" Steela asked.. "Yes.. Now I have to respectfully decline your offer.. We, Steela and I are engaged in other work at this time.." Jayden said trying to keep his cool, he could feel Cade's anger rising with every moment.. He did not want Jocasta, Jade or even Steela to be hurt because of him.. Even if he hated being respectful to such an evil man..

"Then you have chosen.." Vader said to him.. "You know you will never stomp out the light.. No matter how hard the Sith try, they will not win." Jocasta said to him.. "I already have won.." Vader said to them.. "No, no you haven't.. Not while there is light.. Not while there are Jedi still breathing.. The Force will always find a way." Jade said to him.. "Yes, the almighty Jedi, wielding the Force, like it belongs to them and them alone.. I can wield the Force too, but yet I am Sith." Vader said to her.. Jade looked over at Jocasta and nodded.. "For light and life!" Jade said, igniting her lightsaber at the same time Jocasta went to shoot the Lightsaber gun again.. But the lightsaber gun has overheated, it will not fire.. So she throws it at Vader.. He Force pushes it into the wall, where it blows a huge hole..

Outside, Eno Cordova and Cere Junda jump to attention.. "What was that?" Cere asked.. "Looks like someone has blown a hole in the wall of the Jedi temple.." Eno said.. "They seem to be under some reasonable fire." Cere said to him.. They watch as Jocasta, Jade, Jayden and Steela all jump through the hole down to the platform below.. While the Clones begin shooting at them.. The three Jedi have lightsabers whooshing around deflecting fire, while Steela is using her blaster.. "They have three Jedi and one soldier.. Let's wait for them on the ship." Eno said to Cere.. "Yes, agreed." Cere said to him as they causally headed over to the ship and climbed aboard.. They of course sat at the controls, firing up the ship in case they needed a fast take off..

"Don't let them escape, Quadrant Four hold them until reinforcements arrive." Commander Fox ordered his men to do.. Jade, Jocasta and Jayden are making short work of the clones.. "I really hate to do this, boys, but you leave me no choice." Jade said as she banged their heads together.. "Jade, will you stop playing with the Clones, we need to get to the ship." Jayden said to her.. "The ship? You have a ship?" Jade asked.. "Yes, how in the stars did you get here?" Jayden asked.. "Same as you, in a ship.." Jade replied.. "Well where is it?" Jayden asked her.. "It blew up." Jade said with a smile.. "You two are so lucky we came to help you." Jayden said.. "It is the way of the Force Jayden." Jade said to him.. "No, it is the way of your Padawan, Katooni." Steela said.. By now Vader has landed down on the platform with them.. He is being shot at too, as he has a lightsaber.. "Did The Emperor not tell the Clones that you are now their boss?" Jade asked with a giggle as he was fired upon.. Vader does not speak, but he does Force push the clones from the platform.. "I bet that felt good." Jade said.. "Jade!" Jocasta said to her.. "Always with a smart mouth, now you have Jocasta Nu watching out for you.. One day there will be no one left to watch you.. Then like today, you will join me or DIE!.." Vader said to her.. "I chose death!.." Jade replied, igniting her lightsaber....

Commander Fox then arrived in the gunship with the rest of his troopers.. They are all shooting at the Jedi with lightsabers and Steela, who is now with Jayden.. "You didn't teach Commander Fox, who was in charge of your New Galaxy, Cade!" Jade said to him, baiting him again.. "I told you once, I no longer go by that name!" Vader snapped at her.. "Maybe, you should have told Commander Fox that." Jayden said as they continued to fight with the clones together.. "Cease Fire!" Vader said to them, swiping them all to the ground with the Force.. "But they are Jedi, Sir, they are the enemy!" Fox yelled at Vader.. "Losing control of your toys Cade?" Jade asked with a giggle.. As Vader snaps, he Force chokes Commander Fox breaking his neck without even a second thought.. "Oh.. I'm so sorry.... I.." Jade said as she stood in total shock with Jayden at the loss of a Clone friend.. "You had to bait him didn't you?" Jayden yelled at Jade.. "You did it too!" Jade yelled at him.. "Jayden, Jade!" Jocasta said as Vader and his clones surrounded them, they now stood on the edge of the platform..

"Do you think we should go and help them?" Cere asked Eno.. "Yes, I think they are going to try and jump.. They will not want to be taken prisoner by him.." Eno replied as they watched on... "Exactly what I would have done." Cere said with satisfaction..

Which is exactly what they all did, all four of them together.. "Bye Bye, Cade." Jade said as she jumped.. "Not today little ones." Vader said to them as he uses the Force to drag them back up and onto the platform.. "What is your problem, you threaten us that you are going to kill us.. Then when we try to do it for you, you save us?" Jade yelled at him.. "You had no intention of dying today.. You are Jedi, you all wield the Force. You would have all survived.." Vader said to her.. "I for one was happy to die. It would have been a lot more pleasurable than having to listen to you ramble on about how bad the Jedi are and how good the Sith are.." Jade said to him.. "Did you not learn your lesson the first time Jade?" Jayden said to her.. "Do I ever?" Jade asked.. "What do you want from them.. They do not want to become what you are?" Steela asked him.. "He wants information." Jocasta said to her.. "Information that only Jocasta knows." Jade said, nodding her head..

Once they were aboard the gunship, Jade, Jocasta, Jayden and Steela were patted down by one of the clones.. They found nothing on the younger ones, but they did find a data chip on Jocasta.. "Why were you hiding that?" Jade asked.. As the clone handed the data chip to Vader, he slipped it into his belt.. "Because it contains all the information on the memory crystal." Vader said to her.. "So he knows the whereabouts of all the Force Sensitive children in the Galaxy?" Jade asked Jocasta, ignoring Vader.. "Yes, now I have what I wanted all along.. Now I know the names of all the children the Jedi were going to recruit.." Vader said to her.. "You know if the Emperor asked you to get that information from the Library.. He has it in his mind to build an army.. One that he will control.." Jocasta said to him.. "You know nothing, Jocasta Nu.." Vader said to her.. "I know that if he did build an army.. They would probably kill each other before they united.. Just like the clones, when they tried to shoot at you because you had a lightsaber." Jade said with a huge smile on her face.. Vader growled at her.. "Sir, would you like me to stun her?" Clone asked.. "They must have known that it was you, Cade Skywalker, Jedi Knight.." Jocasta said to the Clones.. The clones all turn on Vader, but he is quick, he Force pushed them all out of the gunship.. "Now you have no toys." Jade said with a giggle..

"Now that doesn't look good." Eno said to them as he moved in closer to their ship.. "No, it looks like they are having a problem with their clones." Cere said with a grin.. "Have the ladder ready for deployment." Eno said to her.. "Understood." Cere replied, going to open the side door of the ship and drop the ladder down to the gunship...

"I had to get rid of them.. They do not know who I am.. I blame you Jocasta Nu.. You and Kenobi's little brat Padawan.. I am going to lock you all up and torture you.." Vader said to them in anger.. "Like the Emperor did for you?" Jade asked him.. "He is a Worm.. He now rots in a cell, at my command.. Do not think that he for one second is in charge.. He ceased to be in charge when he and Kenobi killed Cade and Kina!" Vader yelled at them.. His breathing became rapid with his anger.. He raised his hand at them.. As the ladder from the ship above them fell down into the gunship.. Knocking Vader to the floor of the gunship..

"Where did that come from?" Jade asked.. "Our ship!" Steela said as she began to climb.. "Jocasta?" Jayden said to her as she climbed up after Steela.. Vade stood.. "Jayden, join me.." Vader said to him.. "Go, Jade.." Jayden said to her as he shoved her up the ladder.. "I would say it's been a pleasure meeting you, Lord Vader, but I would be lying." Jade said to him as she disappeared up and onto the ship.. Vader and Jayden faced off together.. Father and Son, both on different sides of the Galaxy.. "If I had known, I would have come to help you through the loss of Kina.. I did love her like a Mother.. Even though I did not know it.. But I must decline your offer.. I love her memory and the memory of the Jedi order far too much.. But I wish you well in your new Galaxy all alone with The Emperor." Jayden said before he turned and climbed the ladder too.. Vader knew that if he wanted to he could have stopped them.. He could have Force pulled their ship to the ground.. As he watched them all leave, he felt the last of Cade leave his body.. "Take me back to the temple.." He ordered his pilot.. "Yes, Sir." He replied with fear..

On Jayden and Steela's ship.. "First let me say thank you for rescuing us.. But who in the stars are you?" Steela asked them.. But before they could answer.. "Wholey Kriff! Is that you Master Cordova?" Jade asked when she arrived.. "Jade, language please.." Jocasta said to Jade.. "I am sorry, Madame Jocasta.. No disrespect intended.." Jade replied.. "None taken young Jade Quinn." Eno said to her.. "I'm here, let's get out of here now!" Jayden said going to the controls, he took them out of the atmosphere and into Hyperspace before anyone could speak again..

Once introductions were made, Jayden took them all back to Ahch-To.. Jade sat with Master Eno Cordova.. "How are you holding up Jade, after your ordeal?" Eno asked her.. "Not too bad.. I wish Saw was here, but you can not have everything." Jade said with a smile.. "Saw Garrera?" Eno asked her.. "Yes, you know him?" Jade asked.. "I know of him.." Eno said to her.. "I married him." Jade said to him.. "Is that so, well Congratulations.. I hope you are both happy." Eno said to her.. "Can I tell you something?" Jade asked him with a smile.. "Of course you can." Eno said to her.. "I know someone who knows you." Jade said with a smile. "Who might that be?" Eno asked her.. "It's hard to explain.... Oh alright.. Qui-Gon Jinn said to say hello." Jade said to him.. "Now that is a name I have not heard for a long time." Eno said to her.. Jade smiled at him.. "You know when I first came to the Jedi temple he showed me all around." Eno said to her.. "Yeah he told me.." Jade said with a giggle.. "We were close friends.. I was saddened when he died." Eon said to her.. "Yes, I was not around then.." Jade said remembering Qui-Gon Jinn as a young man.. "Did you know that Cere Junda was my apprentice?" Eno asked Jade..  "Then you are to be congratulated Sir, she is a true Jedi..  My Master was Obi-Wan Kenobi." Jade said to him.. "Yes, that we know very well.. He was, ..... is a great and noble Jedi, like his Master." Eon said to Jade.. "I know he is still alive out there somewhere.. I am going to find him." Jade said with a smile..

Meanwhile back Mustafar, Vader is visiting The Emperor.. "I found them, I found the crystal with the names of all the children on it.. I had it in my hand, then I thought of you.. Again how you manipulated me, turned me to the dark side with lies.. Planted nightmares in my mind about my beloved Kina.." Vader said as he walked up and down.. "No, Son, you have it wrong.. The Jedi are the ones that manipulated you.. They took you from your Mother.. They made your fear of loss more real than I could have." The Emperor said to him, waving around his stumps, as he still has no hands.. Vader stopped walking and looked at him.. "Yes, you feel it now, I see it.. I forgive you for cutting off my hands.. We can still rule together.. You and I will be a force to be reckoned with my Boy.. I have things in play that you do not know about.. Things that will help us rule.." The Emperor said to him. "You rule? Not that is just a joke.. You may have fooled the entire Jedi Order.. But you never fooled me.. Teaching me to be angry all the time. Telling me that the Sith know more than the Jedi.. Then letting my Kina die." Vader said to him. "No.. no Vader my boy, that was all you.. You and your anger Force choked her.. Not me.. I taught you not to let your anger rule you.. You do not want a world of the dead do we now?" The Emperor asked him.. "No, I do not want to rule over the Dead.. But you will never rule with me.. I will kill you before that happens. You old fool, you are the one that needs to accept the changes.." Vader said to him.. He then took out the chip containing the information he wanted and crushed it in his robotic hand.. "No! I made you and I can kill you!" The Emperor yelled at him.. "If you ever get out of there you probably will.. But for now I hold all the cards.. So while I rule, you will rot in here." Vader said to him, striding away with his usual arrogance........

"Jade, Jayden you are alive!" Katooni yelled as she rushed to them, hugging them tightly.. "We knew you would make it." Gar said to them.. "No you didn't, you were praying in there we saw you." Petro said to him with a grin.. "We are back now, and we have brought friends.. This is Master Eno Cordova and Master Cere Junda.. They will be joining us in our new Jedi Order." Jocasta said to them with a warm smile.. "Does this mean you are coming back too Jayden?" Petro asked.. "No sorry pal, but Steela and her people need us.. I am sorry.. But I will come and visit again." Jayden said to him.. "Will you let him Steela?" Petro asked her.. She looked from one to the other and smiled.. She could neve deny him anything.. "Of course.. Maybe I will come back for a visit too.." Steela said to them.. "I like you." Katooni said to her with a smile.. "I like all of you a lot.." Steela said.. Later as they all stood watching Steela and Jayden leave all were silent.. "Now you two lovely ladies must tell me about your adventures in the High Republic." Eno said to Jade and Jocasta.. "How did you know?" Jade asked, watching him.. "I too can talk with the dead.." Eno said to her.. "Who have you been talking to?" Jade asked with a smile.. "Master Yaddle.." Eno replied.. Jade let the smile drop from her face.. He knew, he knew she was there when Dooku killed her...........................
