"From dust you came, to dust you shall return."

Neji uses the force to help elevate her as she jumps high, performing a front flip before slamming the back of her heel hard against the helmet. Sending surprised searing pain throughout Darth Vader's head, causing him to hiss. Neji doesn't wait when she lands, she immediately does a high kick under his chin and jumps a little to do a side kick to his temple. Making Darth Vader blink his eyes rapidly and his head throbbing more with pain, as if he's being stabbed over and over again.

"Wh-What is going on? My vision...WHAT DID YOU DO CHILD?!" Darth Vader roars, trying to fight off the nausea suddenly rising in his throat.

Neji runs towards him and leaps, raising her knee a bit and pulling it back before thrusting it forward, sending a powerful hit to one of the eyes of his helmet and actual face. His head snaps back and that targeted eye immediately shuts down, taking away the ability to see. Neji jumps and wraps her legs around his neck, choking him and hitting the front of his helmet repeatedly. Which damages her knuckles but ultimately starts breaking down the helmet itself.

"I guess this is one of the few reasons why it's good that I'm bigger than your average woman. That's because I can...DO THIS!" Neji pushes herself down and slams Darth Vader to the ground, back first. It creates little cracks around them. She shakes off the pain in her 'punching hand' and shrugs, "I'm good." She resumes delivering powerful blows to the helmet and face, breaking it down some more. Soon enough, the cracks grew bigger and bigger until the front of the helmet completely breaks off and pieces fall off on either side of the two.

Neji delivers another hit, breaking Darth Vader's nose easily, watching the blood flow down the lower half of his face. She looks up and looks at him in the eyes, wanting Darth Vader to remember the one who will deliver the final blow to end him. She was there, she was almost there. Victory was within her reach.

But Neji suddenly froze. She took a good look at the face below her and recognizes it from the reports she read and analyze, that were stolen from an old friend and mentor a long time ago.

Flashback:

"Okay...no one is around, so let's do this!" Neji bounces herself to her bed excitedly, holding the reports in her hand. She uses a little bit of the force to close and lock her door. "I want to know more about the Jedi, about Obi-Wan, and about my own dad. All I know was his name from my aunt, it was...Anakin Skywalker, I think." She opens one reports and it shows his face. His youthful but fierce face. His blue eyes, dirty blond curls on his head, his firm lips curved slightly downwards.

Neji snorts, "He definitely looks mean. But I can see why mom would fall for this guy. Let's see...it says here that the Jedi are one of the most powerful warriors in the galaxy. They use lightsabers to fight and use the Force to their advantage in those fights. Let's see what else is...okay, Obi-Wan is apparently 'The Negotiator' and my dad 'The Hero With No Fear.' So far the information here looks amazing and so fascinating. However, I still don't know why my mom didn't want to talk about him. Is the fact that my dad was with another woman so upsetting to the point that he's not worth mentioning? If that's so then...oh," she spots something among the piles of files and reports she gathers that catches her eye, "What do have...woah." Neji surfs through the file, which contained information on Anakin's background. The more she reads, the more she starts to feel bad for him.

He was filled with so much trauma and it makes sense that he only saw the other woman as his true love and not her mother. It's only because he has trust issues and that woman he married probably resembled the physical and internal qualities of his mother. But does that mean Neji herself was a mistake? So far in her life, it has been shambles. She doesn't know what her purpose is and everything she planned, which originally included Kairo, was blown up in her face.

All she remembers of her own mother was her gentleness, her love, and her wonderful ability to teach Neji fighting techniques for self defense. That she can polish overtime and even add her own twist to those moves here and there. Those lessons, along with the ones from Kairo and his "master," is how Neji is so good at fighting and endurance. She wants to meet her father someday and make him proud.

If he's alive, that is.

End of Flashback:

Neji can't believe her eyes. There below, are a pair of ocean blue eyes looking at her. Along with a pair of lips curling into a smirk. She whispers one name, and one name only.

"Anakin Skywalker...my..."

"...father. Yes, I'm the other half of your DNA. Though, you look a lot like your mother if I do say so myself. Well actually, you got my eyes. You two are both beautiful. However, it's sad that you're covered in dirt that will never come off. You should've gotten..."

Anger and pain courses through her veins as she gets ready to deliver another powerful punch. But this time around, he was ready. Darth Vader catches her hand and snorts, "Uh ohhhhh, looks like someone is getting weak again. Your time here is almost done. Now here is what I'm wondering, first, will you surrender or will you use the remainder of your life force to try to end me? Two, do you want to know what happened to your mother and who was responsible for her death? Actually, I shouldn't have have asked that, of course you do, my dear child. The one who got away." He takes out his lightsaber and ignites it, quickly tilting it diagonally and slashing across Neji's face on one side and doing the same on the other side, changing the positions of the saber slightly.

He watches as gushes of blood flows out of her face and going downwards. Some drip off her face and towards Darth Vader, who dodges them easily. He places firm hands on both sides of her hips and throws her to the air. Quickly turning his lightsaber around to make the hilt face the top. He pulls back before using a lot of his strength to hit her stomach. Neji coughs and some more blood comes out, this time, hitting parts of Darth Vader's face. He catches Neji and throws her to the air again, lifting his feet and pressing them together. He then pushes them upwards, hitting her stomach again and sending her flying. Neji crashes against a brick wall and collapses to the ground.

Darth Vader staggers a bit as he stands up, "I don't want to hurt you anymore. You can't keep up. So, let me give you a gift." He takes off his helmet and puts on a black mask which provides him his oxygen. "I used the forbidden dark arts to heal most of the damage I sustained from fighting my former master. However, my lungs have not been spared. So I still have breathing problems. But hey, at least I still age, and gracefully too." He ends with a shrug. He then looks at his daughter, who is lying down and struggling to get up, back to square 1 again.

"Let me give the gift of telling you the story of your mother. The end of her life, that is."
