Abeloth told Waru that, because of the reappearance of her Force-presence in this galaxy along with her physical being, Luke Skywalker wouldn't just send any one Jedi. No, because of the danger that Abeloth posed to the galaxy, Skywalker would not only come to Dagobah - the planet that Abeloth and Waru found themselves on - himself, but he would bring his entire Jedi Order here to make sure that if she wasn't wiped out for good, then she would at least be dead for another few thousand years, if possible.

In the few hours since their return to this galaxy, Abeloth told Waru that she could feel a mass of what seemed to be hundreds of Force-presences massing toward Dagobah, and that they would be here in less than a day.

In the meantime, there was nothing to do but wait. And both before and after Abeloth sensed that the Jedi would be coming after them, they talked.

"I find you quite fascinating, Waru," Abeloth told him. "I have never met another being such as yourself."

"Nor I you," Waru said. "I do find you quite interesting, too."

"Oh!" Abeloth responded with a giggle. "That's so sweet of you!"

"Why?" Waru inquired. "Simply because I state what I think?"

Abeloth giggled some more and waved a tentacle before covering her mouth with it, as if she had a naughty secret that she wasn't trying too hard to hide from Waru. "Oh, yes, indeed! Many people who say what they think don't have nice things to say! Tell me, Waru, have you ever had to lie?"

"Of course," Waru responded. "When I was absorbing the life energies of some of the volunteers who either offered themselves to me or were offered to me, I knew that if I explained that some would die under my hand, I wouldn't get anymore volunteers. So I pretended that those who I absorbed were victims of simple accidents, and I would tell them that I was a flawed being like most others."

"A flawed being!" Abeloth guffawed playfully. "Oh, now that is a lie indeed!"

"I do consider myself a flawed being, though," Waru said. "After all, there weren't many like me back in my home; that was why I was cast to where you were."

"Then perhaps the flaw isn't with you, Waru," Abeloth offered. "Perhaps the flaw is with them."

"With my fellows?"

"With everybody. Everybody who ever ostracized the both of us, like your fellows, Skywalker, everybody." Her tone was bloodthirsty now.

"Why would you think that?" Waru asked.

"Why wouldn't you, Waru?" Abeloth countered, though not too harshly. "Why would you think that everyone else was perfect? Just because they have rules with them? Rules can be broken, and rules, because they can be broken, are flawed. Those who live without rules, Waru, like you and me, are perfect, because we are free. We see this universe for what it is, that for all the order that can be imposed by these structures that mere mortals can make, it is subject to destruction. Even the Force will one day die."

"We may die, too, one day," Waru said.

"Then perhaps we can change that," Abeloth said. "I have lived for countless millennia. I am sure that you and I can find the secret to living for all eternity, for living through the inevitable destruction of this universe; perhaps you and I can make a new universe, one created within our own image, where we can become gods!" As she spoke, she gesticulated, tentacles flailing about as if caught in an air current, and pranced about in merriment at the thoughts she gave voice to.

"That sounds nice," Waru admitted.

"Yes, it does," Abeloth said, abruptly ceasing her prancing as she narrowed her manic gaze at the other entity. "Doesn't it? We can be more than what we are now!"

"I believe we can," Waru said.

And as he said that, the memory of the moment they shared, back in the Netherworld of the Force, came to mind, and Waru found Abeloth's statement more... enticing than he thought it would be.

.

The next day, the Jedi had come; though no mere mortal could see through the heavy fog that was the blanket over Dagobah, Abeloth and Waru could. But even if they couldn't, they could still sense the presences of the Jedi; Abeloth with her Force, and Waru with his own unique power.

And it was that unique power that Waru utilized, as part of the plan that he and Abeloth had devised just prior to the Jedi's arrival, to rob them of the Force.

Waru had first been brought to this galaxy, thirty-two years earlier, because of anomalous effects caused by the interaction between a black hole and a crystal star in the system then occupied by Crseih Station, the space station aboard which Waru conducted the cult that formed around him. Those anomalous effects had been able to wane and drain the powers of Force-users, so much so that they could possibly die; and Luke Skywalker had been incredibly close to becoming one with the Force in that way.

And as such, those same effects that brought Waru into this galaxy all those decades still remained within him, and he was able to use them to reach out to the Jedi above and snuff the Force out of them.

Now it was Abeloth's turn. She lashed her tentacles up and they straightened out, as if she had grabbed a hold of something; Waru knew that she had grasped something through the Force.

Minutes ticked by, and as Abeloth strained from the effort, Waru simply watched her; he didn't have any eyes to speak of, but he could see her with the whole of his being.

Indeed, he did find her quite fascinating, and now he was outright admiring her. He saw the effort that she was putting herself through; this was someone who wanted something, and she wouldn't let anyone deny that to her, no matter who or what tried to stop her.

She had the power, so why shouldn't she get what she wanted? If she had the ability, she should take it.

When he had first met her back in the Netherworld of the Force, he found her quite interesting, and somewhat appealing to look at for a being with appendages and a face. But as he got to know her more and more, he found her somewhat alluring in a way that he never found anyone else back in his home dimension.

Eventually, the object of her efforts - the ship known as the Jade Shadow - appeared from out of the mist of Dagobah's fog and settled down before Abeloth and Waru, engines shut down, as that was what Abeloth had done to the Shadow and all the other Jedi ships before she began pulling this vessel down to the planet; she had even shut down their transmission channels and commlinks to make sure they wouldn't communicate during what would happen next.

After the Shadow landed, Waru saw that its forward viewport was facing him and Abeloth, and the two entities could see the startled faces of an aged Luke Skywalker and his twenty-year-old son Ben.

Abeloth then teleported from the spot that she inhabited next to Waru, and she was then inside the Shadow. In an instant, each Skywalker was wrapped up in one of Abeloth's tentacles, which immediately snaked down their throats to begin the assimilation process, making them her new hosts.

A few more minutes later, Waru was aboard in the Shadow's cargo bay with Abeloth's main form, while her Skywalker hosts piloted the ship back up past the planet's atmosphere, their engines and communication arrays brought back online thanks to Abeloth's powers.

Two minutes after a quaint silence between her and Waru, Abeloth finally spoke just as the Shadow underwent a sudden jolt that mildly startled Waru.

"The Skywalkers have convinced the Jedi that whatever it was that robbed the Jedi of their Force powers," Abeloth explained, "also led to my demise."

"And you are hiding yourself in the Force now?" Waru asked.

She nodded, and her tone was dark and desirous as she said, "We will make a stop at Shedu Maad first; that is where the Jedi reside now. But from there, we will destroy their Order, and from there, we will go to Coruscant."

Abeloth then broke out into even more hysterical, excited giggles and did a cartwheel in blissful joy, which looked especially limber with her tentacles.

"Oh, I really hope you'll like it!" she squealed gleefully. "It's beautiful!"
