Darth Vader woke up with a splitting headache. His eyes adjusted to his surroundings. He found himself in a gray dark cell, his arms in shackles. His senses felt numb, his mind fuzzy. There was something he had to do, but he wasn't certain what that was. He couldn't seem to remember, it hurt too much to think.

The doors to his cell opened and a small green creature walked inside, followed by another robed figure. This second one was taller, human. The shorter being walked awkwardly, supported by a small wooden stick. They both stopped in front of Vader, the taller one with his hand ready by a weapon on his side.

"How feel you?" the smaller one asked as the doors closed behind them.

Darth Vader merely stared at them. He wasn't sure what to make out of them. The human looked at him with distrust, while the smaller green being studied him with open curiosity.

Vader couldn't form words. His head pounded loudly. There was something he had to do, that nagged him in the back of his mind, but was unable to comprehend what that was.

"Who are you?" he managed to ask, turning his head to one side to try to calm down his discomfort.

"JedI, we are," the smaller one said. "Master Yoda my name is and this is Master Kenobi."

"Masters?" Vader asked, not knowing what that could possibly mean.

"Yes," the one named Kenobi answered. "And you are a Sith. Your kind is not to be trusted."

"A Sith?" Vader asked, trying to make sense of what both of them were saying.

"Are you going to repeat everything we say to you?" Kenobi asked with a bit of annoyance.

"I'm sorry," Vader said, trying not to offend them. He sensed a strange and powerful energy coming from them. It seemed to call out to him.

"I'm sorry," he repeated, touching his head. He felt several bandages wrapped around, covering his forehead. "I'm not sure what I'm doing here."

"Really?" Kenobi asked with skepticism. "The all powerful Vader doesn't know where he is?"

"Vader?" he asked. "Why do you keep calling me that?"

"That is your name!" Kenobi bit out quite forcefully. He knew that Vader was being deceitful.

"Remember who you are?" Master Yoda asked, also showing skepticism.

"Should I?" Vader asked them, thinking that he may pass out any minute from the pain.

"Curious," the other JedI scoffed. "That you wouldn't remember now that you're our prisoner."

"Why am I your prisoner?" Vader asked, finding all this confusing. He really didn't know who he was. Why were they so suspicious of him? So angry?

"You've managed to destroy entire civilizations, almost single handedly," Kenobi accused, his hand ready by his sides, "and you can't remember! You've nearly wiped out all of us and you sit here as if you can't recall everything you've done!"

"How could I have done what you say!" Vader cried, feeling all the more confused. Who was he, really?

Before Kenobi could continue, Master Yoda tugged at his cloak and motioned for him to follow to the corner of the cell.

"Remember, he cannot," Master Yoda whispered as Master Kenobi crouched down beside him, his eyes never leaving Vader.

"How do you know it isn't a trick, Master?" Kenobi asked.

"Clouded, his memories are," Master Yoda said. "No deception do I sense from him, only a blank confusion."

"Is it possible to restore his memory?" Kenobi asked.

"Important it is for us to know the Emperors plans," Yoda surmised. "Interesting would be to bring back his memories."

"We need to know what he was doing here, Master," Kenobi said. "He's too dangerous, even if he can't remember who he is."

"Agree with you I do," Yoda said. "May not remember now, but could remember a day from now, a year…"

"Or maybe never," Kenobi said as he watched Vader look at them with worry in his eyes. "In that case, how can we put up someone through a trial of every crime committed if they can't recall what they've done. He's practically a blank slate."

"Then force him to remember, we will," Yoda said thoughtfully. "Once he is well, we will begin to work on him and his memories."

"What if he's faking all this, Master?" Kenobi asked, still in disbelief that Vader could of actually not remember who he is.

"Then more powerful he is if I cannot detect deceit in him," Master Yoda said ominously.
