Whilst travelling through hyperspace, Starkiller awoke abruptly.
"Easy, boy. I'm not going to harm you, just show you something about your past." I say in a similar way to what General Rahm Kota would.
"Who are you?" He grits through his teeth.
"A simple Force user. No more, no less." I reply simply. The rest of the journey through hyperspace was silent. As we entered orbit of Kashyyk, however, Starkiller spoke up.
"What happened here?" He asks. The place we were heading too was engulfed in fire. There were no Wookie's in sight anywhere.
"This is what the empire does to planets who refuse to join them. The Wookie's here are enslaved and forced to work off-world. Some are sold to the highest bidders." I say solemnly. "21 years ago, Kento Marek and his wife, Mallie, left the Jedi Order due to attachment and hid here on Kashyyk. 17 Years ago, they had a son, Galen Marek, who watched Darth Vader kill his Father and took him to train as an Inquisitor." I continue.
"How do you know so much about me?" Starkiller asks.
"Because I encouraged their relationship. In a way, I am your God-Father. When I stopped receiving messages, I returned here to find the place in ruins and their child gone." I further my story. "We are here for you to re-discover your past."
"What if I don't want to relive the past?" Starkiller snaps.
"You don't really have a choice. Besides, if you go back, you will be killed eventually." I reply. As we landed and exited the fighter, I hand Starkiller his secondary saber, the one that he would use instead of the normal inquisitor one.
"Why are you giving me a weapon?" He asks cautiously.
"You need something to protect yourself. Stormtroopers don't usually care about lightsaber colours, they assume that anyone with the Force is a Jedi, unless told otherwise." I explain. As we move on, we find an abandoned hut, holding the alliance symbol, or as only I know, the Marek family crest.
"This place is familiar. I feel the pain and sorrow." Starkiller says solemnly. As he was about to enter, I speak up.
"I cannot enter with you. Whatever lies within, is yours to face." I say. Starkiller still enters. From outside I faintly hear him speak, but not clear enough to know what it was. As he leaves, his eyes change to a dull blue. Without speaking, I gesture for him to follow as we made our way back to the fighter. Leaving the planet's orbit, I set course for Berk.
As we arrived, I could sense the feeling of wonder that radiated off Starkiller. But instead of showing him around the whole town, I took him to the cove where Toothless and Hiccup bonded. Unlike back then, there was a small hut on the edge of the cove.
"This is your new home. I will not return from my next mission, as I have done all that I needed to do." I say to Starkiller.
"Why? Why not stay here and leave everything behind to create a new life." He asks.
"Because I already have. I'm entrusting the training of my son to you, Galen. As well as the protection of this planet." I explain. "Live your new life well, Galen. And may the Force be with you." I say, opening a portal to Lothal for what would be the last time.
(A/N – I decided to speed up the ending for this story as I want to begin his next life.)
As I step foot on Lothal, I watch as Vader ignites his saber to attack Kanan and Ezra.
"The traveller lives." Vader speaks through his helmet.
"I hope you didn't expect it to be that easy to kill me Vader." I say. "But I have a proposal for you." Vader deactivates his saber to show I have his attention. "Let them leave. Besides, it isn't like they pose a threat to your Master. Instead, you can have me." I offer.
"And if I refuse?" Vader asks.
"Well, I could just teleport them to their base." I say. "Actually, I may as well do that anyway." I open a portal right behind Hera and push them all through, including the shield generators, before closing the portal off again.
"Bold move Vex." Vader says, finally using my name.
"I always was and always will be reckless, Anakin." I reply, calling him by his previous name.
"Anakin Skywalker was weak, I destroyed him." Vader declares.
"Where there is light, there will always be darkness. If Anakin was dead, you as a current would be too." I correct him.
"You always were as bad as Yoda. But now, you will die." Vader declares, igniting his saber once more, as I follow suit.
"Although my time is up, I don't plan to die without a fight." I declare, immediately launching an offensive. (A/N – Basically we have a duel identical to that of Ven Zallow and Darth Malgus in the 'Deceived' trailer that you can find on YouTube.) As I thrust, purposely missing Anakin, he replicates it while successfully stabbing me. As I fall forward, I whisper to him the coordinates of the Command Cruiser, allowing events to continue as normal, before finally vanishing into the Force. With my wishes complete, I finally rest in the Force.
Quick Timeline from this point into the future.
"Galen Marek continues to protect Berk until his final breath 68 years later."
"Ezra, Thrawn and the surviving ships of the Seventh Fleet were taken to Berk, where they joined the defence fleet after being told about Vex's plans to protect the planet."
"During the events of 'The Force Awakens' and onward, Berk helps the Resistance fight the First Order."
"Vex's bloodline continues for the next 500 years, until the last member suddenly vanished."
"Berk became a haven for those who were unwelcome throughout the Galaxy, until 200ABY, when Berk disappeared from the Galaxy."
"One historical record on the planet Ach To mentions two people that matched the description of Vex and his friend Ace that was dated during the Jed'aii Order, but it was never able to be confirmed whether it was Vex and Ace."
A/N – OK, as I mentioned in a quick A/N further up, there will be more of this story, just not part of his origins. Vex will be put into new worlds, and already explored worlds, but will not be OP until later on in the plot. Until next time, Nut Out.
