This is my personal take on Vader's story. This is not canon to the original Star Wars media and I don't own that material, as well as the music, some of the pictures, and characters that will appear in this fanfiction. I will bled elements from the...

Cin Drallig was meditating in his temple room. There, he was just finished with lecturing a few padawans who were training wrong and ordered them back to their separate rooms after one of them cussed him out. Yoda put him and Shaak Tii in charge of guarding the temple while Yoda was traveling to a distant planet on personal business. As he finished meditating, he stared at a picture of him and a young Serra when they helped a rebellion on a planet only a few planets from Coruscant win back its freedom against an oppressive regime. As he used the force to bring the photo to him, Cin held the photo in his hand, staring at it for a few moments before a memory played out, but not before Cin let out a heavy sigh.
In this memory, Cin was walking back to the temple after a peaceful negotiation with a fellow Jedi master when he came across a very young Serra holding food she had just stolen. Seeing the chief trying to attack the girl, he was amazed when she mind tricked the man into letting her go. Seeing her potential, Cin managed to convince her to go to the Jedi temple and learn to control her gifts, leading to the strained but close bond they shared. Speaking of the bond the two had, Serra and Cin, as shown so far, have not been on good terms due to their separate personalities and morals clashing with one another on most occasions, leading to their relationship being not so great. However, Serra did in fact respect her master and Cin taking her was in fact out of compassion as well as what he did being his way of trying to give her a purpose in life. However, as his face saddened with the memory the day she left the order, he couldn't help but feel extreme regret for everything in their relationship going wrong. He felt if he hadn't been so stubborn and impatient with her, as well as try to understand her more, then maybe things would've been better. Then, the memory came of the day she died. Although he never showed it much, Cin did in fact care for her and her death brought him extreme pain as he had forever lost his chance at fixing their relationship. (Music Ends) When he stood up, Shaak Tii entered the room. Shaak:I'm sorry to interrupt you. Cin:Your not at all. Cin said as he turned to face his colleague. Shaak:Your still thinking about her too? Cin:How do you- Shaak:Your more easy to read then you think, Cin. Cin:We're not supposed- Shaak:That's what I wanted to talk with you about. Cin:Our ways, correct? Shaak:Maybe Anakin was right. Even though his relationship with the Chancellor is concerning and he may be impulsive at times, he was still a very kind and charming person. He didn't want to become the greatest in our order but the best he could be. However, his view of our ways did rub us the wrong way, and instead of hearing him, and others like him out, we didn't. This is why we need to change, at least in a way to honor his and her memory. Will you do that, Cin? There was a moment of silence in the room before Cin spoke up. Cin:I- Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by a dark presence they sensed in the temple. The two leaders of the temple then quickly made their way to the main level of the temple where they saw a wave of pearl white uniformed soldiers firing at them. Thankfully, the Jedi duo cut the wave down and tried to alert the other Jedi present in the temple. However, when they were running, they briefly saw that the security that guards the temple were all dead. As they made their way to the library, they saw what was going on. An army of troopers were attacking the very temple itself. Shaak went to help a group of Jedi along with Cin to combat a group of troopers were assaulting. After helping the group, they soon took care of a bunch of stealth troopers while defending a group of padawans the stealth troopers were attacking. After that, a black metal sleeked group of troopers with red lightsaber blades were seen combating against a group of knights and padawans, the group of troopers winning the fight in the process. Cin and Shaak took care of them after struggling for a few moments against the surprisingly skilled warriors. Shaak:Cin, go help a group of padawans in the temple training room! Cin:Was planning to do that myself! Cin said as the Jedi temple sprinted to the training room. When arrived, he was too late. The Jedi padawans were slain, lying on the ground as Cin looked over them. He was horrified, to say the least. He knew who they were, the very same padawans he argued with. Cin:Who did this? The shook words of the Jedi master said. He couldn't get it. Who would have this much power to lead this powerful army? Where did this enemy get this power and what convinced this army to join this enemy? Cin was on his knees, many thoughts swarming his mind. He could feel the many Jedi in the temple being taken out left and right, the army using many weapons to counter their use of the force with heavy blasters, explosives, slugthrowers, riot batons, and even electro staffs. During his whole process of thinking, a voice broke the menacing silence. Vader:Its over, Cin Drallig.
