Sora sighed as she looked around her. She felt a presence slowly walk toward her, and she smiled sadly as she stood up and took off her cloak, 

"Hello, old friend,"

She was face-to-face with Darth Vader,

"You are still here,"

Nikki sighed and nodded, 

"Yeah, I guess my own universe doesn't like me enough to take me back,"

"I heard they were sent back,"

Sora nodded her head, 

"They were. I'm the last one standing after all,"

Vader sighed, 

"Join me, Nikki, you don't have to run anymore if you join me,"

Sora, now known as Nikki, shook her head, 

"I won't run anymore. I have been since my brothers betrayed us,"

Vader shook his head, 

"The clones never betrayed us! The Jedi Council did!"

Nikki frowned and took a step closer to him, 

"They might not have been perfect, but they could have been better! They would have never killed all those innocent lives!"

Vader scoffed, 

"They allowed the war to continue. They never respected me!"

Nikki sighed, 

"But we did. I did, Obi-Wan did! Padme did-"

Vader growled, 

"Don't say her name!"

Nikki frowned and looked at his helmet, 

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Because she died! None of your precious Jedi wanted to help me! I was trying to save her!"

Nikki sighed and shook her head, 

"Anakin. Padme died because she was heartbroken by what you became. What you chose to do,"

"LIES! Lies told to you by Obi-Wan! Did you know he was alive?!"

Nikki nodded, 

"I did. Flyer come back. I made a promise that one day, I would get you back. I intend to keep that promise today,"

Vader shook his head and stepped closer to her, 

"You, of all people, should understand why I did what I did. I did not want to give up Padme. The order would have expelled me like they did with Ahsoka. They don't care about us, Tory. They never did. They don't care who we love or who we care about. They feared my power,"

Nikki sighed and shook her head, 

"Then we will raise the next generation to not fear loss, that love is what makes us more powerful,"

Anakin shook his head, 

"We must destroy the rest of the Jedi,"

Nikki sighed, 

"But the clones did not just go after the Jedi. They went after the ones in the middle too! They went after Ahsoka. She left the order, Flyer, you know that! Yet they tried killing her for just being force-sensitive. They betrayed us all. The ones I called my brothers left me to die,"

Vader raised a hand to her, 

"If you join me, I will make sure no one harms you ever again. I'll get you home to Lui and your siblings,"
