"I felt your presence when I arrived on the planet," Luke said, trying to control his rising fear.
"As did I," Vader said quietly. "I have been looking for something very important here. I don't intend on letting you get in the way of that."
"And what is that?" Luke said while placing a hand on his lightsaber. Vader began to move around Luke in a circular pattern.
"I believe you are aware of the ancient evil that has plagued your thoughts. It has plagued mine, too. I am here to destroy it." Vader clicked on his deep red saber.
Luke clicked on his lightsaber instinctively and sprinted towards Vader. He slashed down hard, knocking Vader back a step. Vader regained his balance and placed both hands on the hilt of his lightsaber. He slashed at Luke's side, then at the side of Luke's head, forcing Luke to lose his footing. He fell to the dirt and parried a jab coming straight for his heart.
Luke flexed his hand and closed his eyes, the force pushing with all of his power out of his palm. To his surprise, Vader also had his hand flexed out, the two of their hands propelling pure force energy in a large cascading ball of energy. The ball of energy pulsed and exploded sending pieces of rubble flying down the cliffside.
Luke stood up, a look of horror hitting his face. Vader had taken both lightsabers into his hands. He ignited both of them and gazed at Luke with a blank expression.
"It is over. Surrender or I will be forced to end your life."
Luke raised both his hands and closed his eyes.
Be with me.
Show me how to defeat him.
When Luke opened his eyes, he was no longer on top of the cliffside. Instead, he was in a beautiful clearing surrounded by copious amounts of vegetation and wild life. He looked ahead and laid his eyes upon the most beautiful tree he had ever seen. At the base of the tree was Ben Kenobi. Luke walked towards the tree taking in his surroundings. He no longer felt fear or pain. He only felt at peace.
"Ben… Where are we?" Luke said, his voice sounded transparent as if it simply existed.
"You are ready, Luke," Ben said with a smile. "Take my hand."
Luke couldn't understand why this was happening, but for some reason, it didn't matter. He placed his hand in Ben's and felt everything around him fold into his brain. He felt himself fling into the atmosphere flying back towards existence.
Luke opened his eyes, except this time, his eyes were glowing with blue power. He flexed his hands grabbing ahold of Vader. Despite Vader's incredible ability to control the force, he could not resist the power of Luke's force hold. Luke pulled his lightsaber along with Vader's to his hands. He then pulled Vader forward and locked him in place in front of him.
"The dark side is no match for me," Luke said with a grin. He ignited both blades and crossed them around Vader's head.
Then, he felt it. The pain. Luke's eyes lost their glow and Vader dropped to the ground. Luke felt nightmarish darkness fill his mind. He glanced at Vader and knew he felt it, too.
Good… Let the pain destroy you. Let it throw your memories and distort all you know.
Feel what I feel.
Luke screamed as the familiar dark laughter of the being he had encountered on Solaris filled his mind. Vader seemed to be feeling it, too. His breathing was loud and sounded painful.
You both will learn to fear me. So will everyone who dares to oppose me.
I am the great Lord Prawn. All Jedi and Sith alike will feel what it's like to suffer!
Luke felt lightning-like energy crack into his mind.
Everyone will bow to me, even both of the mighty Skywalkers.
Luke's last glance was of Vader. They both laid on the mountain, grunting and screeching in agony. His eyes began to grow heavy as the pain overtook him.
Everyone will suffer.
