The quiet darkness surrounded the spacious room in a calm but eerie manner as a single green-haired preteen, padawan and moisture farmer Ferb Fletcher, sat alone in the center; His only light source being a dimly lit candle that glowed, illuminating the calm, dark blue in his soft eyes. The young lad was on knees with his hood over head and gazing into a mirror which happened to reflect his own dimly lit reflection.
But instead of seeing that, Ferb saw something else. He is looking at the face of a wise but young padawan who was forced into the dark side by machine… and all he could do was scream in anguish as the cruel, merciless hands of evil grasped his mind and twisted it altogether; squeezing out all his purity and innocence as the kind boy he was known as throughout Tatooine.
Squeezing out all the brotherly love and memories of his own brother.… And cruelly fighting the oblivious child into the wrong side of the moon
Ferb shook the thoughts out of his mind and faced away from the mirror to prevent looking at himself and triggering such memories. It wasn't his fault, Phineas would try hard to assure the elder brother. But despite that, Ferb couldn't help but feel that part of it was his fault since he did nothing but foolishly surrender to the red flash that consumed the good in his heart that day and possibly…forever
It's over now I know inside
No one will ever know
The sorry tale of my Sith night
And sins I've made, no one must ever know
They'd only see the tragedy
They'd not see my unintent
The shadow of Darkness…
Would forever kill the good that I admit
Ferb swallowed and looked down at his hands; tears welling up in his eyes as the candlelight cast his shadow across the wall behind him
Am I a good lad?
Am I a mad lad?!
It's such a fine line between a good lad and I
Out of the blue, the shadow behind Ferb suddenly morphed into that of its same shape but with spiked up hair and a flowing cape worn around its neck. The shadow grew larger until it cast over Ferb and its eyes became appeared a faintly glowing yellow as it gave its 'owner' a menacing glare before song-speaking in the same matter Ferb did when he was a sith
Do you really think
That I would ever let you go?
Do you think I'd ever set you free?
Ferb gasped as he realized who the shadow is at once
If you do I'm sad to say,
It simply isn't so.
You will never get away from me
With a growl, Ferb stood on his feet and ripped the hood off from his head and glared at the living shadow, his blue eyes showing a flash of determination and vengeance
All that you are
Is a face in the mirror!
I close my eyes and you'll disappear!
The shadow opened its mouth and responded; the mouth revealing sharp teeth resembling the shapes of arrow heads
I'm what you face
When you face in the mirror!
Long as you live, I will still be here!
Ferb narrowed his eyes and kept on
All that you are
Is the end of the darkness!
All that you are is a dying scream!
After tonight,
I shall end this sith-lord dream!
The eleven-year old fell back as the shadow suddenly ripped itself out of the wall and became a living figure of himself; Darth Ferb. The black drifted away revealing his full self with the Darth Maulesque facepaint and his sith uniform. His yellow eyes glowed in evil as his cape flowed; the end appeared like dark smoke surrounding the room
This is not a dream my self-
And it will never end!
This one is the darkness that goes on!
Ferb felt himself cower in fright of his own self
I am here to stay,
No matter what you may pretend-
And I'll flourish long after you're gone!
Bravado raising, Ferb snapped back with anger; refusing to surrender to Darth Ferb once again
Soon you will die,
And my silence will hide you!
You cannot choose but to lose control
Darth Ferb smirked and leaned forward, pointing a gloved finger at Ferb's chest
You can't control me!
I live deep inside you!
Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!
Ferb growled and shoved his arm off, pushing the sith away from him
I don't need you to survive,
As you need me!
I'll become whole
As you dance with death!
And I'll rejoice
As you breathe your final breath!
To that, Ferb attempted to slash Darth Ferb with his lightsaber but instead, was engulfed in black fog, enveloped in darkness by the latter villain as his voice boomed in victory
I'll live inside you forever!
Ferb cried out in horror
No!
Darth Ferb's eyes glowed through the fog looking directly at Ferb with zero mercy, the fog near him forming the shape of a long-living emperor much to Ferb's horror
With Sidious himself by my side!
Ferb tried to find his way out of the darkness
No!
But to no avail for the fog surrounding turned into black, tentacle-like substances and wrapped themselves around Ferb before covering him completely as Darth Ferb grinned evilly
And I know that now and forever,
They'll never be able to separate
Darkness from Ferb!
That did the last straw for the padawan. With a grunt, Ferb used the force to tear apart the black beings that secured him and burst out of his shell; his eyes showing clear fury and anger
Can't you see
It's over now?
It's time to die!
Darth Ferb grinned with narrowed eyes
No not I!
Only you!
Ferb shook his head and growled
If I die
You die, too!
Darth Ferb laughed and bared his fangs
You'll die in me
I'll be you!
Helpless knowing that he's right, Ferb groaned in agony before collapsing to his knees, the black slithering things crawling up on him again as he cried to the Darth in protest
Dang you're right!
Set me free!
Darth Ferb's eyes flashed yellow as the darkness enveloped Ferb within it; dragging him closer and closer
Can't you see,
You are me?
Ferb screamed in pain as Darth Ferb's and his bodies merged into one whole; his skin turning red as hideous black markings formed on his face and on his bare hands. Even his green hair was slowly tousling up into spikes similiar to the horns of Darth Maul. The padawan cried out horribly as his clothing morphed into Sith attire and his eyes flashed a bright yellow
No!
Deep inside-!
In Ferb's mind, Darth Ferb smirked and towered over the good Ferb as he knelt down from the intense pain of his physical body being transformed to his evil self's desire
I am you!
You are EVIL!
The padawan grunted and let out a screech
No - never!
The Darth laughed and clenched his fists in a victory pose
Yes forever!
Not able to take the pain any longer, Ferb let out a last scream of anguish
May the Skywalker curse you, Darkness!
Take all your evil deeds,
And rot with the death star!
Darth Ferb smirked and whipped out his lightsaber; raising it above Ferb's back
I'll see you there, Ferb!
And he brought the lightsaber down as Ferb's agonized scream echoed throughout the whole mindset...…
"FERB!"
The said boy woke up with a start and panted hard, his hand on chest and sweat dripping down his face. Beside him, Phineas was looking at his brother with deep concern and fear. "You were writhing, singing and screaming in your sleep! That must be some wild dream you had!" Ferb blinked and frowned. Dream? The eleven-year old looked around and found himself in his and Phineas' room, on his bed and surrounded by his brother and other decorative stuff found in the room. It was just a dream! Ferb sighed in relief before turning to Phineas who gave a cocky grin.
The elder chuckled and pulled Phineas in the bed with him; the latter widening his eyes as Ferb hugged him tightly. "I'll need you beside me in sleep for quite some time brother…" Ferb whispered which Phineas understood immediately, sympathy obvious in his eyes. The younger cuddled up in Ferb's arms before falling back asleep with a smile, his brother following suit and he slept peacefully the rest of the night… unaware that a certain platypus in the room is having his own dreams of battling Darthenshmirtz as usual.
