Darth Vader, a name that striked fear in the enemy, very few survive the encounter with the fearsome Dark Lord of the Sith and live to tell the tale of him. After Vader's death at the hands of his Master he found himself in a teenaged boy's body in...
Ousuke:"I need your help regarding Akihito, he is reverting back to his old self."
Shuri:"My son is not what you think he is! He's only doing what he thinks is best for our family."
Ousuke:"I understand your feelings towards your son but I fear he may give into rage. Should he lose you, Akeno, or Raynare, we can only imagine what will become of things." He explained. Shuri knew full well and Ousuke could sense her feelings.
Ousuke:"You felt it, didn't you?" He asked.
Shuri:"Felt what?"
Ousuke:"His power, his strength seep out. For that brief moment, you felt it."
Shuri:"A-and what if I did?"
Ousuke:"How did you feel?" Shuri thought it was an odd question to ask but Ousuke wasn't joking around.
Shuri:"Powerless, cold, afraid, I never thought I could feel that way around my son. I feared for my life while going up to him, I thought I'd die. That emotionless helmet reminiscent of a skull, I was so scared." She confessed. Ousuke sighed and sat down next to her on the couch.
Ousuke:"I'm not here to scare you, enough though I probably already have. I lost Anakin, or rather Akihito, once before in the past. I'm sure he made a promise to not turn but there's always a probability of that happening."
Shuri:"He has and he'll keep that promise, I know he will."
Ousuke:"We can only hope. If you need anything for your daughters or Akihito, I'll be more than happy to help. I'll be on my way out."
Shuri watched the young man leave her house, leaving her to contemplate what he said. She thought of what had transpired a few days ago with the incident in the city. A fierce duel between her son and another man she's not heard of. While thinking, she was brought back to frightening images of her son.

"Aki...?"
Khooh-pruhhh
"This isn't like you to hurt people, come back to me..."
Vader stares her down until the black mist came back and out came Akihito. He stumbled towards Shuri, falling in her arms.
"I'm sorry, mom...I'm sorry..." Were the last words he said prior to falling unconcious.
"You did well, my child." Even with those words of gratitude, she had a terrifying image of him stuck on her mind.
