Darkness saw his ship, it wasn't too far away. He was closing in on it fast. Starkiller landed in front of him. He slammed Darkness into a tree with the force. He punched the cyborg in the upper face to insure he didn't break his hand on the machinery. Darkness mechanical mouth was in a grin, and his arm swung into Starkiller's stomach. Blood seeped through the wound, and he looked at Darkness's hand.

The glove was off. His hand was robotic, and he had spikes for fingernails. A twisted smile was on his face. Darkness looked into Starkiller's eyes, and Starkiller fell to the ground. Darkness blasted Starkiller into a tree. He put his glove on, and kicked Starkiller in the face.

Starkiller lifted his head up, and smiled. "Well Darkness, great progress for a cyborg. I bet Vader's more of a human than you!" Darkness threw Starkiller eight feet using the force to propel the throw. Starkiller smiled, and fell to the ground. A metallic clank filled the air, and Starkiller's face peeled off. It wasn't Starkiller, it was a cyborg Jedi. He used technology to pretend to be Starkiller.

Then there was a loud noise, and Darkness turned to see the real Starkiller fly in and kick him in the face. The cyborg fell to the ground, blood seeping from his forehead. His mechanical mouth was torn open, and the gears inside were visible. Artificial blood seeped from the hole and Starkiller's blade was to his throat. There was a snap-hiss and the green blade returned to the hilt. Starkiller stepped back.

Darkness stood and ran groggily towards his ship. Starkiller stood back and watched as the cyborg entered the large fighter. He looked at Darkness; a cold smile crossed his face. "Remember Darkness, that I spared your life. Tell Vader, that next time you both shall be destroyed." Darkness looked at Starkiller.

"Next time you see us, shall be your last day." The cyborg's dark voice filled the air. It wasn't as dark, for you could hear the clanking of the gears in his head trying to work. He entered his ship. Starkiller ran to his imposter. "Are you okay?" the imposter gave thumbs up, "Sorry about that, Artus." Artus was Starkiller's Jedi Padawan. Artus had a great potential

Darkness has sat in his ship, and watched as a life-size, Vader hologram appeared. Darkness knelt on the ground. He looked up at Vader, "I'm sorry my master, I have failed you. The boy was too strong, but I did order a troop of Stalkers to attack the planet sir." Vader stood emotionless.

"You are lucky that I expected you to fail this task. I knew he was much too powerful for an untrained apprentice. Now for your true mission to begin, we must anger Starkiller. His skills are weak when he's angry. Kill General Rahm Kota. If you encounter Starkiller, ensure he doesn't discover the truth." Vader's voice filled the room. His hologram faded away.
