Disclaimer and Author's Note: I don't own Star Wars. I just love to warp it to my own imagination. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. I know its short and all, but I love short chapters. Reviews are food for my soul!

Chapter Four:

Vader stood in a damp swamp, looking all around him. He had no idea where he was or how he even got there.

"Took you long enough to find your way here," a man's voice said from the shadows.

"Who is there!" Vader demanded.

The man laughed as Vader heard him walking towards him. Vader watched. "How could you not remember me?" the man said as he appeared in front of him.

Vader stood there awe struck. Standing before him was Qui-Gon Jinn. "How are you here? Jedi can't appear before Sith! Especially dead ones," he stammered out.

Once again Qui-Gon laughed. "It all has to do with a matter of perspective."

"What do you mean? My perspective on things is crystal clear. It has been since I became Darth Vader."

"Is that so?" Qui-Gon asked looking at Vader with an eyebrow lifted up.

"Yes. The dark side has made everything clear to me. When I was a Jedi, I was naive. But now that I'm the Lord of the Sith, I learned all the wrongs of the Jedi. They held me back."

"Your thoughts betray you. You're lonely and you are nothing but a pawn for Palpatine to use as he desires. You lost all that you held dear – your wife, child and even your friends."

Vader didn't say anything. He knew Qui-Gon was right. And Qui-Gon knew that as well.

"Goodness still lies deep in your heart. Search for it and let it guide you instead of other people telling you what to do. I know that the little boy who didn't know of greed is still somewhere in you. Palpatine hasn't driven it from you fully." Qui-Gon said continuing his lecture.

"But what do I do if I find what you say I still have?"

Qui-Gon's spirit smiled. "Seek out the planet that you see before you now. Someone will meet you there." Qui-Gon said as he faded from view.

Vader slowly opened his eyes. It had all been a dream. The entire time he had been in his pressurized chamber on the Executor.

He looked at the pale reflection of a man starring back at him from the white walls of his chamber. Probably the only part of his entire body that still had any bit of humanity left was his face. And even then it wasn't much.

He sighed. Maybe Qui-Gon had been right. Maybe there still was good in him, but how was he to destroy the monster that he had created?


Yoda opened his eyes and frowned slightly. Qui-Gon had caused Vader to have the dream that they had discussed. Now it was hopefully only time before Vader would go looking for Dagobah.

'I stirred something deep down in him,' Qui-Gon's voice said through the Force.

"Still much to be done."
