(Author's Note - Anakin is not burned in this story, but was placed in the suit because of the injuries he sustained from fighting Obi-Wan, to keep him alive.)

(Internal Thoughts in Italics)

Chains clink and move slightly as the figure, kneeling on both knees with their head down, tries to weakly get free. They can't see anything, because of the blindfold that has been placed around their eyes and around them, is nothing but blackness.

They remember though that they had been taken from their home-world and brought here to unknown ship, while they felt somehow their own planet being destroyed by something far more powerful than any laser they knew of.

They only thing, they can hear is the humming of the far distant engines and strange presence around the room, they are imprisoned in.

Where were they?

Why had they been brought here?

What was the purpose of being brought here?

(*Author's Note -Japanese style with hair tied up, but long part hanging down her back.)

The footsteps echo off the polished floor, while Stormtroopers and Empire Officers step out the way of the once man - now more machine and man - Lord Vader, with his black cape billowing slightly with his movement.

They bow their heads. No-one wanted to incur the wrath of him and knew the consequences if they got in the way then go back to their everyday business.

Questions would never be asked and answered. They knew the rules - he was the Emperor's top most Sith Lord - and could kill anyone, who displeased him.

The man - Lord Vader - ignores them and continues walking to the holding area, where a new package as the Emperor had called it, was waiting for him then stops, when he suddenly senses a wave of strong Force Energy coming from the room.

It was strong, fill of anger, anguish and rage that one's home had been destroyed by the Death Star's weapon as an experiment to see that the weapon worked. The Geonision's had made it and he remembers when he had first seen it being built in space, while standing on the Star Destroyer bridge, after the death of his wife Padme.

Padme Amidala - young, sweet and innocent, who he had fallen in love with when he had been, just Anakin Skywalker and not Lord Vader. A woman who he had married after events of the Clone War, going against the rules of the Jedi Code.

A Jedi, could not love and could not marry. He had defied that and it had resulted in her, becoming pregnant with his children. His children.

He had no idea where they had been hidden and could not sense their Force Signature at all.

It seemed that they had been hidden, in only one place.

He comes out of his thoughts, stepping forwards to the door, which slides open with a hiss and steps inside the light from the corridor, only penetrating slightly into the large room. He can sense that the Force Energy, is coming from a figure kneeling on the polished floor with their head down, while their hands have been spread out like when forming a cross.

Handcuffs, attached to chains that are bolted to the ground, are on their wrists and he walks up to them as the door slides shut behind him then a dim light, flicks on. It reveals enough of a young woman, with hair tied back a certain style, that he knew symbolised the planet of Kyorin Muras.

The people, had been different and were more peaceful folk, living in small bamboo huts that had included farmland, rivers that had been fresh with abundance of fresh fish and on top of one of the hills, there had been a rare Sakura Tree.

It had been blooming, when the Star Destroyer's had arrived and he remembers that he had touched with a leather gloved hand, feeling a strange Force Signature that had felt so familiar to him.

A weak moan, comes from the young woman, bringing him out the memory of it and he looks down at her then stepping up to her, tilts her chin up so he can look at her face. Her face twitches and suddenly eyes shoot open to reveal a swirling mass of sea-blue green - almost like an ocean that was untamed - then she flinches away from his hand, turning her face away from him.

He stands up straight, wondering why suddenly that his heart was thudding against his ribcage and he felt Fear from the look that she had given him. It had been one fill of rage, anger, anguish and sadness that this "thing" in front of her, had done nothing to stop it and he wonders why hadn't he sensed her.

Why hadn't he sensed her, when had arrived on the planet?

Had someone or the Force, hidden her Signature from him?

So, he wouldn't sense her, at all.

He comes out of those questions, that whirling around his head and bringing his hand up, summons the chains up with his Force then keeping it up with his own power, he steps closer to her. She looks more masculine than female, because of years of training to fight and walks around her, inspecting every part of her finely, toned body.

When he comes around to look at her, she gives him a glare with her eyes and he steps closer, so close that his chest is right up against his then brings out the tracking device injection needle that would make sure that if she went missing, it would show where she was.

He grabs the back of head, feeling while he does the silky softness of hair and wrenches it back to expose her neck more, while she gulps slightly then places the injection device against the side of her neck.

He presses down, hearing a choked cry come from her and her body, tremble against his then something wet drip onto his armour as he can feel steps back from her. He is trembling himself and quickly, places the injection device away then whirling around, cloak billowing outwards, heads to the door.

It slides open so fast that two Officers jump in fright, while standing talking in the corridor and he glares at them, even though the mask covered his face then watch as they scarper, while he feels an ache start to in his chest as he walks down the corridor.

She had affected him, somehow. She broken a piece of the black armour and entered her way into it.

Somehow?

Nula's P.O.V:

I collapse weakly on the polished floor, whimpering like a wounded animal and can feel some blood from the injection site, where he placed the device in me, lightly trickle down the side of my neck.

It had hurt, when he had done it and forced a cry to come from me, while strangely from the Sith Lord, I had felt him tremble against me, after a tear had fallen onto his black polished armour.

Did this mean that, he was Human under that suit and he could feel emotions?

He wasn't monster like I had heard at all, from Republic Spies that had been passing through and checked my home-world for supplies. He was man, encased within a shell that he been placed in by someone.

Who was he then?

He was called Lord Vader?

Yet, no-one had thought.

Where did he come from?

Who was he?

And why had he had become who he was?

I come out of my thoughts, breathing slowly in and out then summoning the energy within my core, pour it into the chains that hold me to the polished floor then they shatter instantly into tiny fragments that go flying in all directions.

Standing up, I hold my hand up to the pieces which all begin to shake as they rush towards each other to form spear that soon fling at the metal door, which explodes outwards into the corridor then heading to the smoking door, step out of the hole into the corridor.

An alarm has begun to sound, somewhere in the large ship and running footsteps, are coming down the long white corridor then staying still, close my eyes. I could sense six Stormtroopers and calming myself, Force-step down the corridor.

Vader, suddenly frowns when he hears an alarm sounding and stops in the corridor he is walking down then feels suddenly so intense Force energy, surge up from the prison holding cells.

Particularly the one, where the young woman was being held and heads to the hanger bay, knowing somehow that she would be heading there to escape. The place is empty, except for few stragglers of Stormtroopers and droids, sorting out crates that had been delivered.

He heads over to the large shield, which stopped the gravity of space sucking everyone out into the inky blackness and just stands there, looking at the hanger bay doors. A hole explodes and sends fragments of it, flying in all directions as she steps out of it, holding in one hand a blaster with enough firepower to destroy a Stormtrooper's armour.

Her Force Energy, was now snaking towards him like a dragon and rearing upwards as everything seems to shake all around him. She was that powerful, with untamed energy and he summons out his lightsabre, seeing how she has noticed him.

He ignites with hiss and she begins to walk towards him, while everything dissolves around him to just inky blackness, while he can still see her as she walks towards. Light spots appear, everytime she brings her high heeled boot down on the ground, while the darkness seems to shrink back from her.

He can see that it is trying to stop, biting with fangs down on the impenetrable bubble of light, trying in vain to snuff it out. She steps towards him and places her free hand on his chest, touching it lightly.

A gasp escapes him, while energy pours from her into him and he cries out, unexpectly at the amount of feelings that she is sending through him. In the mask the man called Lord Vader - changes suddenly back to Anakin Skywalker, who suddenly wonders where is he.

He looks around and sees that he is in his old Jedi Robes, while he is standing somehow in water that shows above him - a sky of rolling clouds - and world that cannot be explained.

Was this the Astral Plane of the Force, that when Jedi's met with dead to talk?

Suddenly, he stumbles backwards as he sees a familiar face underneath him in the water, floating underneath him and falls onto but then watches in slight horror, fear and shock as the man, who he had last seen lying dead in fire pyre, rises out the water.

The water runs off Qui-Gon Jinn, while landing back into ocean that Anakin is on and making ripples spread outwards as the man steps towards him. The Jedi Master's clothes appear and fold onto him then the man opens his eyes, to reveal a swirling mass of sea-blue green that makes him gasp as he recognises where he had seen it before.

"She's your daughter?!" Anakin says, looking at the man in shock and surprise as the man comes up to him then kneels in front of him.

"Yes. Nula, is my daughter and has been since the beginning of time. I may look like this, but I'm way older than any Jedi or Sith in the world, Anakin. Though, I'm not here to discuss her." The man, replies to him and the look he gives makes Anakin, cry out as he feels suddenly the festering Darkness rise within him.

He manages to get back up, while above him, the clouds in the sky have turned grey and lightning flashes as he holds his head on his hand, trying in vain to calm it, while the water has changed colour to crimson.

Vader, breathes heavily and lowering his hands, he turns around to face the former Master. The man is just standing there, watching him and he ignites the lightsabre, he has with him, intention to destroy the world he is in.

He brings up above his head, while Qui-Gon Jinn, just watches, silently and slams it down into through the water, which suddenly explodes all around him, while he feels himself being swamped by a tidal wave of crimson that lands on him then pulls him down, underneath the water.

He can see through the water - that was like glass - Qui-Gon Jinn, looking down at him with deep sadness and betrayal of the path he had chosen then disappears as he finds himself being jerked right down into the abyss that awaits him.
