Star Wars: Dark Jedi (Star Wars X My Hero Academia)

Chapter XX - Stain's Last Stand

After being struck down by Darth Vader, Stain could feel his life slowly slipping away as he lies on the ground. In that moment, Stain saw his life flash before his eyes. He saw his earliest days of Jedi training under Jerec as well as the battles he fought during the Clone Wars. He was his survival of Order 66 and his subsequent path that he walked. But one moment was the clearest in Stain's mind. It was after his duel with Ashoka Tano and the injuries that she inflicted upon him. It was in that moment that Stain undertook his crusade to cleanse the Force with the elimination of both Sith and false Jedi. It was in that moment that the Jedi known as Stendhal ceased to be and the moment Stain was born.

Stendhal(Past): I am the faceless ideal. One who acts without really existing. I will dye this chaotic Galaxy red with the blood of the unworthy. The blood that flows from me is proof enough. It is the path I leave in my wake! A path to serve as a guide for others! These bloodstains will never fade! Stendhal is no more. The narrow and dogmatic view of the Jedi has been purged. The selfish lust for revenge has been purged. Now I am but a stain that will cleanse the Galaxy and the Force itself. The False Jedi will be purged. The Sith shall be purged. Only when those sacrifices are made will the Force be restored to balance! I will make this right. Soon, a more just Galaxy will rise. All shall be made right. I will serve the Force itself. From this day forth, only Stain remains....to set things right. I will set things right.

As Stain relived that moment for what seemed like an eternity, anger and rage began to grip the dying Dark Jedi as he slowly regained consciousness. The first thing he saw was Darth Vader walking away from him.

Stain: (Skywalker....)

In that moment, Stain was consumed by malice and fury. Despite being on the verge of death, Stain's anger and fury kept him going. As Stain got up, Darth Vader stopped in his tracks, sensing a slight shift in the Force. Suddenly, a voice called out to the Dark Lord. 

Stain: SKYWALKER!

As Stain called out to Darth Vader, Darth Vader turned around to see Stain standing over him. Vader could immediately tell that something was different about Stain. He looked into Stain's eyes and saw pure fury and malice. 

Stain: You false Jedi! 

Darth Vader could hear the rage in Stain's voice. Stain called upon the Force to summon his two Lightsabers. As Stain ignited his Lightsabers, Stain kept his eyes on Vader. 

Stain: I'll make this right....

As Stain's rage took hold, Darth Vader could sense Stain's malefic aura. 

Stain: COME ON! JUST TRY AND STOP ME, SKYWALKER! YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME?! I WILL NOT DIE BY THE HANDS OF A FALSE JEDI! THERE IS ONLY ONE THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO KILL ME! A TRUE JEDI IS WORTHY!

Empowered by rage and anger, Stain lunged at Darth Vader and attacked him with relentless attacks. Darth Vader was initially taken aback by the increased speed and aggression of the Dark Jedi's attacks. Darth Vader could feel the anger and hatred behind Stain's attacks. 

STAIN: YOU WILL DIE BY MY HAND, SKYWALKER!

As Stain pressed the attack against the Sith Lord, Darth Vader was able to gain the upper hand on the Dark Jedi. Darth Vader then used the Force to push him away. Stain quickly recovered from the attack and glared at Vader with fury in his eyes. Stain charged at Darth Vader and prepared to strike him down. Stain lands a strike on Darth Vader's helmet, but Darth Vader impales Stain once again. As Vader pulled his Lightsaber out of Stain, he gripped him with the Force and began thrashing him around building. Despite Stain's determination, Darth Vader was simply too powerful for him.

Darth Vader: This is where you die. 

As Darth Vader moved to finish off Stain, the wounded Dark Jedi experienced a vision of the future. He saw the downfall of the Sith and the Empire. He was a Jedi who's face he did not know. He saw the rise of a new Jedi Order. As Stain saw this vision, he began to laugh. 

Stain: It is...over for you, Skywalker. Your empire is destined to fail.....

Darth Vader: You do not know the power of the Dark Side. 

Stain: The Force shall decide your fate, Skywalker....as it always has.....Chosen One. 

As Stain said that, Darth Vader raised his Lightsaber to strike Stain down. Stain showed no fear as Darth Vader struck down the Dark Jedi. As Darth Vader dealt the fatal blow, Stain's thoughts fell to his vision. As Stain succumbed to his wounds, he felt immense satisfaction in knowing that the Sith and the Galactic Empire would fall and the Jedi would rise once more. Though Stain would not live to see it, he died with satisfaction. When Stain died, the legend of the Jedi Killer would persist long after Stain's death. In the years following Stain's death, Stain's vision would come true as a new hope would rise and overthrow the Galactic Empire and forge a new Jedi Order. Though Stain and his ideology would eventually fade into obscurity, the impact that he left on the Galaxy would not be forgotten.
