"I should have sensed sooner!" Said the woman who had come out of the box. Out of nowhere, a bright, yellow humming blade that was similar to the dark man's blade was activated. She jumped over to him but his red blade blocked the yellow one.
"I do not wish to harm you." Runt heard the dark man say. He sounded genuine.
"No?" The woman said, raising her hand."Well, I wish you dead!" Somehow, the dark man (As if there was a strong wind pushing him) was pushed into some of the odd devices the humans had brought.
The woman was no running to him, the humans in white armor trying to shoot her. Runt was amazed as she deflected the blue things with her yellow blade.
His amazement ended when Celeste used her blade to cut off a human's head and another's arm.
The dark man raised his hand had to grab the box...only not physically."I sense something..." Said Daria.
The woman used her blade to cut the box with ease, a part hitting a human."Sith scum!" Said the woman, crossing blades with him."I devoted my life to destroying your kind."
"And yet, look at yourself. Consumed by anger...fear...self-loathing at what you have already become. You have but to give in to the power that you feel...embrace the Dark Side..." Vader momentarily looked at the bush, looking directly at Daria.
"NEVER!"
Daria nearly walked out the bush but Runt stopped him."Daria, are you okay?"
She shook her head."No...I feel his power..."
"I'm offering you the chance to rule the Galaxy at my side." The dark man said.
Galaxy?
"But I intend to dance on your ashes, Sith!" The woman exclaimed.
"Don't you see him?" Asked Daria, looking at Runt."He's just standing there...nobody's even noticing."
"Who?"
"This one's strong, Celeste Morne. And willing. He deserves the Talisman!" Said Muur.
"No! He'll never have it! You will never possess him!"
"No? You cannot hope to survive this fight...unless you give in to me...accept my power..."
"SILENCE!" She yelled."Leave me alone, I won't listen to your lies!"
"Lies?" Said the Sith Lord, pushing her into a tree using the Force."The power of the Dark Side is no illusion!"
"Fine! Perhaps this wolf will be a better host than you." Celeste raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Suddenly, a white wolf walked out of a bush."Daria!" Said a young voice...only for Celeste to see a young wolf pup. She was even more confused. Who had speaked?.
The dark Sith Lord pointed his crimson blade at her, cornering her."Yes. Let him kill you! Give him the Talisman. I can feel his strength."
Darth Vader knew of the ghost. The ghost of Karness Muur.
Vader wanted Palpatine dead...but would it really be worth it just to switch one Master to another?.
He then looked to see the human historian, Fane Peturri, turn around."Going somewhere, Peturri?" He said, using the Force to stop him."Watch her." He ordered his clone troopers to watch her as he dealt with the historian.
"Surely you wouldn't leave me here, would you? What did the Emperor want you to do?" Vader asked, clenching his prosthetic fist to break the armor suit.
"The Emperor sent me to...to spy!" He said.
"As I thought." Vader destroyed the suit, causing him to become a Rakghoul.
"Ah!" Yelled the little wolf pup that had walked out of the bush along with the white one.
Vader, using his red lightsaber, cut down the orange Rakghoul with ease. When Vader turned around, Celeste was using the power of the Talisman to turn his clones into...Rakghouls.
The Rakghouls grabbed their blasters, their human skin having shedded, and fired at him, now under her command.
She no longer mattered. He quickly ran to his ship, ignoring the two wolves who had ran away.
Vader got into his ship and flew out of the forest.
Celeste would not be his apprentice...but perhaps the blind wolf, named Daria, would be...they would rule the Galaxy together.
