Fires raged across the village. A figure stood by the flames, unsure of where she should go. No older than five years old, she had managed to destroy the lab in which she was born. Her long blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and her bright blue eyesw were filled with confusion.
A man walked up to her, kneeling down. He wore a lab coat, and had short blonde hair. A black jumpsuit was worn under the pristine white coat and a long blue streak of hair fell over his eyes. He pushed up his glasses and smiled at the girl.
"I think this test was a success." The hologram faded from around them, and they returned to a safe room, filled with powerful shields. "I think your ready, Tsubaki." The girl lookled at him, and gave him a determined nod.
"Who shall train me next?"
"Possibly Darth Vader... I'm hoping it will be him, anyways." The Man's bright blue eyes sparkled in the light of the stars they faced. Going at Warp Speed was Tsubaki's favorite. The stars sped by with a beautiful blue color. Just like The Man's strip of bright hair. He was the only one who cared about her. He was like her father.
The Man looked back at her and smiled as they left Warp Speeds. A large, grey planet sized orb stood before their ship they resided in; a looming and sinister force to be reckoned with. It was known as the Death Star.
The captain of their tiny vessel requested to board, and a voice rang over the Audio asking who we were. The Man took the mic and smiled. "This is Doctor William Colrez, head scientist for Project Grey. Please inform Lord Vader we are here to see him." He radiated confidence, and kept his cheerful tone throughout the entire conversation with the soldier. It was Just like The Man To act cheerful at all times. Tsubaki had never seen him upset or angry at all. It was like he was stuck in happy mode.
Eventually they made it aboard the large planet-ike ship, and The Man held Tsubaki's hand as they exited their puny vessel into the docking bay. She looked around, seeing many men in white armor with pitch black guns. All of them looked the same, and the young girl wondered if they looked the same under their armor too.
"Doctor Colrez." Said a man in black walking up to them. He was very tall. Taller than The Man. He wore a scary black helmet and was breathing heavilly through a resporator. His voice was deep and masculine, as well as very controlled.
"Your Lord Vader." She announced calmly. She wasn't afraid at all. Despite her smaller size, lack of experience, and naivety, she knew that a teacher is not someone you should fear, but respect. That was something she learned from Master Yoda as she trained with The Jedi.
Within one year, she had Mastered the Light Side of the Force. Master Yoda had deemed his work done, and returned her to The Man. He was shocked to see she had mastered something that complicated so quickly.
"Yes, I am." He said, a hint of amusement hiding in his tone, making Tsubaki smile a little. Perhaps he would be just as kind as The Man. "You must Be Tsubaki." He kneeled down to her level and she held out a hand, touching the part of his helmet where his mouth was and closed her eyes. There was a monent of silence between them before she spoke.
"You've felt a lot of pain." She said.
"Yes." he said, sounding like he was in a trance. The two guards accompanying him exchanged a look and tightened their grip on their weapons, preparing for the worst.
"Theres a boy... and a girl. A woman too... you miss them. A lot."
"Of course." He said in barely a whisper. Tsubaki removed her had from his mask and the tall Sith Lord got up, looking down at the toddler hard. "She is well versed in the Force I see. She managed to soothe my heart without much effort."
"Yes, Lord Vader. She has trained as a jedi under Master Yoda, but now we need her to learn about the Dark Side and how to weild a lightsaber properly."
"How long did she train?"
"Well, according to Master Yoda, she mastered the force in a little under a year." The Man said proudly. At those words, Vader turned to look at his future pupil in shock. He could tell she was good based on what he had experienced, but if Yoda of all the jedi said she had mastered it at her age, she was clearly a prodigy. She would be a powerful asset to the Empire, if he could convince her to come over to The Dark Side...
"Are you leaving her now?" The Sith Lord asked, sounding slightly eager. The Man nodded, giving Tsubaki a push towards her new teacher. She looked back at The Man fearfully, not wanting to leave him.
"You'll be fine. Lord Vader will take care of you." He said with a smile.
"Ok. Will I see you again?"
"Of course." He planted a kiss on the top of her forehead for the second time in her life. The first was when she left to train with the Jedi. It was his way of saying "Goodbye, My creation. I don't know if we'll see each other again." Tsubaki knew he could die at any moment. Despite The Man's young age, he was a target of the Republic. She knew she shouldn't exist. She was an illegal genetic experiment. Born to be able to weild both sides of the force at will. The Man's experiment was to see if that was even possible, and if so, were there new abilities? "Thank you Lord Vader. Please keep me updated on her progress."
"I will." The Sith confirmed. The Man turned to leave looking back at his creation and smiling behind his glasses before disappearing onto the tiny vessel they arrived in. She never saw him alive ever again.
