On the ancient Jedi homeworld of Tython, Darth Vader has been dispatched along with a detachement of the feared 501st to deal with a rebellion taking place on the planet by Flesh Raiders. As the Flesh Raiders slaughter the Stormtroopers, Darth Vader meets with an Imperial Officer.

Imperial Officer: Lord Vader, we were ambushed upon arrival, but I have the situation handled and....

But before the Imperial Officer could finish the report, Darth Vader begins choking him with the Force.

Darth Vader: I am not interested in your failures commander. I'm here on a mission on my own!

Vader then releases the commander and continues moving through the front lines. As Vader walks through the front lines, he cuts through the Flesh Raiders with ease. Vader leaves the fighting to the 501st as he continues with his mission. He soon reaches an ancient Jedi enclave where Jedi Knights Ghira Belladonna and his wife Kali Belladonna confront the Sith Lord.

Ghira: DARK LORD! Whatever you want, you won't find it here!

Darth Vader: You cannot disguise yourselves from me...Jedi.

Kali: You would be wise to turn back Sith. Run back to your master.

Darth Vader says nothing as he ignites his crimson Lightsaber. Ghira ignites his blue Lightsaber while Kali ignites her purple Lightsaber. Without warning, Darth Vader charges at them an unleashes a devastating assault on the two Jedi. While they were able to hold off the Dark Lord's assault, they soon found themselves overwhelmed by Darth Vader. He begins Force Choking Kali, but Ghira becomes enraged.

Ghira: My love!

Ghira then begins cleaving at Vader, forcing him to discard Kali. Vader quickly overwhelms him and begins battering him. Kali intervenes, but is gripped by the Force. She is thrown against a tree. As Vader was about to finish her off, Ghira intervenes.

Ghira: I will not let you harm my family Sith!

Darth Vader: You are a fool Jedi.

Ghira then unleashes a powerful assault on Vader. While he held a brief advantage, Vader soon overcomes the attack and began brutally cleaving at the Faunus Jedi. Kali soon recovered from Vader's attack and saw her husband being attacked by Vader.

Kali: Ghira!

Kali then charges at Vader, but he quickly reacts and grabs her by the throat. As he begins to strangle her, Ghira recovers and tackles Vader.

Ghira: You can't take us all on Sith!

Darth Vader: We shall see.

Darth Vader then uses Force Repulse to push both Ghira and Kali away from him. Vader then turns his attention to Kali and attacks her. Despite her speed, Vader proves to be too much for her. Seeing his love in danger, Ghira charged at Vader.

Ghira: This is for all the Jedi you slaughtered!

As Ghira raises his Lightsaber to strike down Vader, the Sith Lord turns around and thrusts his Lightsaber into his chest. Kali looks on in horror as Ghira takes one last look at his love.

Ghira: Kali....my love......I'm....I'm sorry....

Vader then pushed Ghira's body off his Lightsaber as he falls dead to the ground. Kali rushes to the Ghira's body and cradles him.

Kali: No...please....Ghira.....

As Kali mourns for her fallen husband, she senses Darth Vader about to attack her. She then grabs her husband's Lightsaber and attacks the Sith Lord with two Lightsabers. Despite this, Kali was still no match for Vader.

Darth Vader: You cannot win. Surrender or you will die!

Kali: I won't fall like you! I won't become a slave to the Dark Side like you Skywalker!

Hearing his past name angered the Dark Lord as he unleashes a devastating assault on Kali. She soon begins to feel the effects of the battle. Vader cuts through Ghira's Lightsaber, destroying it. Despite barely being able to hold on to her own Lightsaber, she still fought on. Vader soon knocks the Lightsaber out of her hand and begins to Force Choke her. He then slams her against the floor and then a tree. As she struggles to get up, Vader utilized a powerful Force Push to send the Jedi crashing through the front entrance of the enclave. As Kali was trying to stand, Vader walks up to her and lifted her in the air while slowly choking her to death. Vader immediately sensed a powerful presence.

Darth Vader: I sense someone far more powerful nearby. Where is your master?

Kali: The Dark Side has clouded your mind. You killed my master years ago.

Darth Vader: Then now you will share his fate. Along with your husband.

As Darth Vader raised his Lightsaber to kill Kali, his Lightsaber was ripped out of his hand and lands in the hands of a frightened young girl. Darth Vader was intrigued.

Darth Vader: A daughter.

As Darth Vader looked upon her daughter, Kali called out to her daughter.

Kali: Blake! Run!

While keeping his eyes and focus on Blake, Vader closed his fist and the sound of her neck cracked filled the room. Blake watched in horror as her mother fell dead to the ground. Her cat ears folded while she backed away in fear while raising the still ignited Lightsaber. As Vader walked towards her non threateningly, the Imperial Officer and a small group of Stormtroopers entered the room.

Imperial Officer: Lord Vader?

Upon seeing the frightened Blake with Vader's Lightsaber, the Imperial Officer nods to his men. The Stormtroopers ready their blasters to kill her. Without hesitation, Vader reclaimed his Lightsaber and slaughtered the Imperials while blocking the blaster shots aimed at Blake. Blake watched in horror as the Sith Lord killed all the Imperials. After it was over, Vader turned to Blake.

Darth Vader: Come with me. More will be here soon.

In that moment, Blake was taken under Darth Vader's wing. Sensing her strong connection to the Force, Darth Vader would train Blake to become his secret apprentice. In that moment, Blake's life was changed forever.
