DARK TEMPTATIONS: A STAR WARS STORY

The Interception

As me and Nyla went over our plan, the vast emptiness of space called to me like a moth to a flame. It's stars twinkled in the distance, and the connection became stronger. No, not space, the FORCE. I turned my head away from from the hollow-desk to look out the windows of the bridge, but nothing was there. "Kronus," my head snapped back to the table where Nyla looked at me worryingly. "What is wrong, my apprentice?" I turned back once more, but nothing was there. "Nothing, My Master."
"Well then, pay attention. Our plans are nearly complete, on my lightsaber shall be returned to me and the Galaxy will be ours for the taking-" a sudden thud from space shook the Destroyer, making me stumble to my knee, while Nyla stopped herself from falling with the Force. "What is this?!" Her voice was in a rage, her eyes wide and her teeth gritting against each other.
I looked out the window to see a shadow being cast across the dagger shape of the Destroyer, and when I looked up I saw a similar shape, only, much, much larger. "It's an Imperial Star Destroyer," I told Nyla. "What?! How did they find us?!" I shrugged my shoulders. "Gah! They will pay for this-" suddenly, she fell silent and turned back to face me. "...do you feel it?"
"The cold... yes."

"We've locked onto them, My Lord."
"Prepare a boarding party."

"The ship is on lock down, Master." Nyla floated at the windows staring above, having calmed down from earlier. "Unlock it," She said, her voice quiet. "Master, I'm afraid I don't understand," She turned back to face me. "Just do as I say, Kronus." She then turned back to the windows of the ship. "Now, Darth Vader. Let's see just how powerful you really are."

Did she have a Death wish? Nevertheless, I did as she asked. The whole ship was now completely defenceless. Even worse, he would be here soon. I could feel him, the fear, anger and hatred all radiated off of him like heat from a Star. I stood at the doorway to the bridge, my lightsaber ignited and by my side, it's crimson red blade raised and ready for action.
After at least thirty seconds of waiting at the door, I finally felt a small shift in the Force. The cold had become even colder, and I heard a quiet creaking, followed by the thud of boots on the ground on the other side in the hallway. The door opened, and he was there, by himself. I raised my saber ready to strike, but he raised his hand and force pushed me away.
I landed on my back, and I felt it ache as soon as I had regained my balance. I raised my saber once again while Nyle spectated from the window. I turned back to Vader, who ignited his own lightsaber and held it down by his side. "Take care with your next actions, boy. For there is a version of this where you get to live." I lowered my saber slightly, confused by what he had said.
"Do not listen to him, Kronus!" I heard Nyla snap from the other side of the room, and on hearing it my saber was back up by my side, and I charged. I struck down, but he blocked the blow with ease, then slashing to the right, he knocked my saber aside. "Your Master has deceived you by telling you that you will be free from your torture with her. She is wrong."
"Enough!" I took one last hard blow with my lightsaber, but yet again he blocked with ease. This time taking his own strike, and when my saber fell to the floor, so did my hand. I clutched the stump on the end of my arm, at the same time screaming in pain. I fell to my knees, and once it began to go numb, I looked up at Vader, who was looking down on me. To my surprise, however, he walked straight past.
"You must be Darth Vader," I heard Nyla say, her voice brooding, meaning she had something planned. "How about I make you an offer?" Vader stayed still, his saber down at his side. "You can become my apprentice, and I will show you the true nature of the Dark Side-" suddenly, Vader threw his saber towards her, and she shifted out of the way. He reached out with the Force and stopped it moments before it smashed through the window. "A shame, I had such high hopes."
"You are not my Master." He took his lightsaber back to his hand moments before Darth Nyla shot Force lightening at him, and as the sparks flew from the crimson blade Vader stood his ground with all his might. "No One is my Master." He thrusted the saber forward, firing sparks back at Nyla. "Gah!" She was blinded by her own Force, and before she had the chance to regain her bearings, Vader took one swift stroke with his lightsaber straight through her neck, and soon her body hit the floor.
I did nothing but watch as the oldest Sith in the Galaxy fell before my eyes. Clutching my arm, I looked up at Vader, who's attention was now back on me. He walked back over next to me and looked down with the cold soulless eyes of the helmet covering his face. "Take this one back to my Star Destroyer." He marched past and continued back through the door he had came.
Before I had a chance to stop them, I had hands around my arms and was being dragged from the bridge. Before I left the room however, I managed to shake one arm free, and pull my lightsaber to my hand with the Force before being hit in the back of the head, knocking me unconscious.

Darkness, that's all I felt. The darkness around me. My vision was blurred, but I still felt his presence. He was close, and I could feel it. I made a small mumble, which made someone close by aware that I was awake, but before whoever was coming towards me got close, I heard a small crack, and their body fell to the ground. After a brief few seconds, my vision came back into focus, and I saw The Dark Lord standing over me with the body of a dead stormtrooper lying behind him.
"Vader." I said with distaste in my voice. He was silent for a few seconds, but eventually he spoke. "My apprentice, it is time." Confused by his words, suddenly the binders holding my hands behind my back came loose, and I could stand again. I got to my feet and shook off the binders around my hands. "Why did you do that?" I demanded. "To give you a second chance."
"I will never serve under you! You killed my Master!"
"Your Master controlled you under an ancient spell of the Dark Side. Now that she is dead, your free will has been restored."
"What, just so long as I serve you?" Vader was silent, the sound of his breath filling the room, then finally he spoke.
"You will become my apprentice, and together we shall overthrow the Emperor and rule this galaxy together."
