Vader had a small team of storm and flame troopers accompany him to Geonosis. He had brought The Grand Inquistor with him as well, to replace The Fifth Brother.

Ada would stay though, as Vader had believed she still had to prove herself.

  Vader had ordered everyone to stand down if they were to gain a visual on Kenobi. He was to face Obi-Wan alone.
Any trooper or Inquistor ignoring this instruction would deal with an extremely painful demise.

  Upon landing on a rocky cliff, he saw Ada and The Fifth Brother waiting by their ship.

"Where is he?" Vader demanded. He had walked so fast that both Ada and The Fifth Brother had took a startled step backwards.

"My lord, we lost visual of him before. His ship is straight ahead." The Fifth Brother had informed.

  "Return to Nur, Fifth Brother. I am here as Lord Vader's aid." The Grand Inquistor had instructed.

The Fifth Brother was shocked, looking at Vader for confirmation but getting nothing. Vader was too interested in his mission.

"Now." The Grand Inquistor demanded in a respectful but stern manner.

The Fifth Brother gave a reluctant bow and returned to his and Ada's ship.

"What of me?" Ada asked. "You will remain here with Lord Vader and I. We wish to see you in action, personally." The Grand Inquistor explained with a smile.

Ada nodded. She wouldn't argue. She was still new to all of this. This mission was her first with them. Yet she found herself wishing it was her last.

Whilst she enjoyed being free of the restrictions created by the Jedi code, she couldn't help but long for the person she used to be, to return.

To tell her to not be a coward.

To remind her that it is better to die a fighter than live a slave. But she didn't get her wish. Who knows? Maybe one day someone will help her realise this and give her the confidence she so desperately requires.

Or maybe she will be stuck in this... imperial purgatory for the rest of her time.

Vader walked to the cliff's edge to see a small, one seated star fighter that had its canon's removed and replaced with extra turbo boosters.

Vader dropped down from the cliff and used the force to slow his descent so that he could gently landing down on the ground.

The Grand Inquistor and Ada landed behind him.

Vader gripped the star fighter using the force, then levitated it. He clenched his fist, causing the ship to crush in on itself before finally exploding.

"Now he has no means of escape." Vader said.

Coming across an old scrap yard, Obi-Wan had found what had seemed to be a decently large shuttle.

It was a transportation shuttle that could hold up to thirty passengers. He would remember where it was and return later after his trap had been set.

Over the course of time that he had been here, which was not long, he had informed some Geonosians of the Empires arrival.

He had told them of a plan to lead the imperials into an open canyon, one where there was plenty of Geonosian hives for soldiers to crawl out of and ambush the Empire.

The Geonosians agreed as they despised the Empire.

What was ironic however was that the Geonosians were instrumental in the Empire's rise to power. They were the ones who originally designed the Death Star.
