Vader: Shards of the Past
(A/N: Just a disclaimer, I'm not a Star Wars Theory fan. I used to be when I was younger, but that was before SW Theory became a piece of shit. I'm only showing this chapter because I still like the fan film he did.)
"Now to bring in some more folks." Luke said as he snapped his fingers.
A portal opened and in came Kirito and Suguha's parents, as well as Asuna's parents and brother.
"The hell are we?!" said Asuna's dad.
"Asuna?! What's going on?!" Asuna's mom said to her daughter.
"Let me explain real quick." said Luke.
(A/N: Read it in the SpongeBob narrator's voice.)
Once Kirito and Asuna's families were filled in on everything, they agreed to watch the multiverse with the others and took their seats.
"Now that you're all here, we can continue. Next up we're gonna be continuing with the Star Wars universe where Kirito is evil. This is based off a non-canon fan film where Kirito is now fully Darth Vader." said Luke, "Although, this fan film was made by an absolute piece of shit who I used to be a big fan of when this came out, but things have changed and now I hate him."
It began with the iconic Star Wars opening words:
Then it displayed these words in the same style as the words shown just before:
Kazuto Kirigaya is DEAD.
For eight months, the mysterious DARTH VADER has enforced the Emperor's commands.
Then it displayed these words while an Imperial alarm was heard going off:
For some, the EMPIRE brings fear.
For others, it brings hope.
But for Vader, it brings nothing but SUFFERING...
The rest of the words faded away, but the last word remained for a few seconds longer:
SUFFERING...
Then the voice of clone troopers were heard.
"There isn't any way out of this!" a clone's voice said, "What are you doing?!"
"What's going on?" Asuna asked.
"Keep watching." said Luke.
It then revealed Kirito in the suit of Darth Vader, standing in a small room with a window to the right of him. Through the window you could see he was on a spaceship and a red light was glaring through the window and into the room.
"Let him go!" a clone's voice was heard again, "Drop him!"
"Surrender and you'll live!" another clone's voice said.
"You're outnumbered!" the clone's voice spoke again.
"Think about this!" another clone voice was heard.
"You will never escape!" a clone's voice was heard once again.
"We will fire!" said a clone's voice yet again.
The camera zoomed closer to the front of Kirito's Vader helmet while a choking sound was heard.
"Let him go, now!" the clone said.
"I will not be denied." Kirito said with the deep voice of Darth Vader as he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
He switched on his red lightsaber.
"OPEN FIRE!" shouted a clone.
Shots of blue energy came at Izuku, but he blocked them with his weapon.
We see that the shots were coming from clone troopers who were shouting at Kirito.
Kirito continued to deflect the bolts back at the troopers while we see someone behind Kirito wearing black hooded robes and being Force-choked in the air by him. The only camera angles we see of the hooded man were from behind him and at his feet.
More troopers and even some Imperial officers entered the room and began opening fire on Kirito, but he simply deflected their shots back at them.
"Reinforcements coming!" one clone shouted.
More heavily armed clones were about to enter the room, but Kirito closed the door with the Force while simultaneously deflecting blaster bolts back at the clones. Although, this distracted him long enough that he lost his concentration on Force-choking the man for a moment and he was lowered to the ground; but as soon as he was, Kirito regained his concentration and continued Force-choking the man and raised him even higher in the air.
"Now... you will answer for your treachery." Kirito said in the Vader voice.
He clenched his fist even tighter and the man went limp.
But then the door exploded open and clone troopers with minigun blasters and opened fire. Kirito blocked the shots with his lightsaber, but more kept coming.
"Keep firing!" one of the clones shouted.
Then one of the blaster bolts shot Kirito's lightsaber out of his hand and he had to resort to stopping the bolts in mid-air with the Force, similar to the scene with Kylo Ren in the Force Awakens, but cooler.
"Ho...ly..." Lis said in disbelief.
"We've got him!" another clone said.
Kirito continued to stop the oncoming blaster bolts with one hand, while Force-choking the hooded man with the other. He turned to the man in the hood.
"There is no escape." Kirito told him.
He then sent all the blaster bolts back at the clones without even looking at them. The shots went through almost every part of the clones' bodies.
"That was insane." said Akira.
The camera zoomed up the hooded man being Force-choked, and we see that the man was Kayaba, who still had a messed up face. There was also a throne behind him, so the audience realized they were in Kayaba's throne room.
"You will suffer for your deceit." Kirito told his former master, "Answer for your failure to save... her."
He then lifted Kayaba higher in the air with the Force, before slamming him onto the floor.
Kayaba tried to get up, but Kirito pulled to the ground with the Force.
"I destroyed your enemies. Forged for you an empire." he said before choking Kayaba more, "Yet, like the Jedi, you have left me a mere shadow of what I was promised. You have taken EVERYTHING!"
"Everything? Foolish boy." Kayaba mocked, "You grieve for the dead wife of an insolent Jedi. Your precious Asuna's fate was YOUR choice!"
Kayaba turned his body to face Kirito.
"Just as your fate is mine!" Kayaba laughed.
Kayaba was about to zap Kirito with Force lightning, but right before he could, Izuku used the Force to grab the body of one of the Emperor's royal guards that was missing its legs and use it as a shield.
The body absorbed the lightning while Kirito used his other hand to activate his lightsaber with the Force and send it towards Kayaba. But the Sith master stopped zapping lightning with one hand and used that hand to stop the incoming weapon with the Force.
Now, Kayaba was shooting lightning at Kirito with his left hand, while Kirito used his right hand to block the lighting with a dead body. And Kirito used his left hand to shove the lightsaber closer to Kayaba's face, while Kayaba used his right hand to stop it with the Force.
Kayaba increased his Force lightning power so much that it cut to outside where we see they were on board a gray Venator-class Star Destroyer, and there was a huge flash of light coming from the window of Kayaba's throne room that shined out into space.
It cut back to inside the throne room where Kayaba's lightning started to go past the guard corpse and hit Kirito. The lightning blasted him back an onto one knee.
Kayaba on the other hand, lifted himself back up to his feet with the Force and chuckled.
"Such a pity. How much grander and more powerful you could have still become." Kayaba said, "If you've but had the temerity to embrace the path set before you."
Kirito attempted to Force choke Kayaba again, but the Sith master once again zapped him with lightning.
Kirito kept getting hurt by the lightning, but then he clenched his fist on the ground, making the floor crack. Then he used the Force to close Kayaba's hands so he couldn't shoot lightning out of them. He then pulled his former master towards him with the Force and grabbed him by the throat with his mechanical right hand.
Kirito stared directly into Kayaba's eyes as he choked his former master to death.
"Yes! That bastard is dead!" shouted Kirito.
Once that was over, Kirito dropped Kayaba's body to the floor. He then used the Force to pull his lightsaber to him... but then he noticed something.
There was a small object next to Kayaba's body. He picked it up and we see that it's the necklace Kirito gave Asuna in Phantom Menace.
"I made this for you." the voice of a child said. "So... you'd remember me."
Kirito looked up to see himself as a child and a woman in an orange hooded outfit standing in front of him. The child version of himself was talking to the woman, and the woman's back was turned so the adult Kirito couldn't see her face.
"It will bring you good fortune." the child Kirito said as he handed her the same necklace the adult Kirito was currently holding.
"It's beautiful." the woman said as she took the necklace. From her voice, it was obvious the woman was Asuna. "But I don't need this to remember you by."
Kirito reached for Asuna.
"My caring for you will always remain."Asuna said to the child Kirito.
"It's a little messed up since in Phantom Menace, Asuna and Kirito had more of a mother/son bond; then in Attack of the Clones, he was super creepy with her and she was fine with him killing women and children; and in Revenge of the Sith, he literally Force choked her. Still not as shitty as Reylo, though." said Luke.
"What's Reylo?" Yor asked.
"An abomination." Luke said.
The adult Kirito was about to place his hand on the back of Asuna's shoulder, but stopped and lowered his hand and head.
Then...
"Kazuto." Asuna's voice said.
Kirito looked up to see Asuna facing him and smiling.
"Asuna..." he said.
He placed his hand on her face and cupped her cheek, then they hugged.
Asuna then let go of him and backed away.
"And that..." she said with her eyes closed.
Her eyes then opened and we see that they're yellow.
"... is why you'll never defeat me." she said in Kayaba's voice.
It showed Kayaba standing there, perfectly fine. Kirito realized that Asuna was a hallucination.
"God damnit!" shouted Kirito.
"As long as you let your feelings anchor you, forever shall you remain weaker than I." Kayba mocked, "Always the servant. Always the slave, young Kirigaya!"
The Sith Master shot a huge blast of lightning at Kirito, electrocuting him and knocking him to the ground.
As Kayaba laughed maniacally, the camera zoomed in on Kirito's helmet and a version of Across the Stars was played.
As Kirito laid on his back in agony, he heard a voice cry out.
"Kazuto! Kazuto!!! KAZUTO!!! KAZUTO!!!!!" Asuna's voice cried out in his head.
And then...
"Lord Vader. You have an urgent message." the voice of an Imperial Officer said.
Kirito then woke up. He didn't have his suit on and all we could see was his horribly burnt face. His eyes were Sith yellow and he was wearing a respirator that covered up his nose and mouth.
Kirito was silent for a few moments as he was recovering from the nightmare he just had. The only noises he made were his Vader breathing sounds.
"My Lord?" a voice from an intercom said.
"Proceed." Kirito said, still in the Vader voice.
"The Emperor demands your presence at once." the officer said through the intercom.
Kirito was still silent.
"Lord Vader?" the officer said.
"As he wishes." Kirito said, but as he did, his eyes turned onyx again for a moment.
We then see that Kirito didn't have his robot arms or legs attached, and was instead suspended in the air by a bunch of tubes that were connected to his body. The only other piece of clothing he was wearing were a pair of black leggings as he was in a dark medical room of some sort with a droid there to monitor him.
The audience was horrified with his disfigured Kirito was. Asuna tried to fight back tears.
It cut to Kayaba's throne room as we see Kirito enter in his full Vader suit. Kayaba was looking out the window at the construction of the Death Star, while two of his guards were at the door.
"Guards." Kayaba said, "Leave us."
The guards left the room.
"What is thy bidding, my Master?" Kirito asked as he crouched down to one knee.
"You are distressed, my friend." Kayaba said as he turned to face Kirito.
"I am fine, my master." said Kirito.
Kayaba approached his apprentice.
"Are you now?" Kayaba said before placing a hand on Kirito's shoulder, "Your anger radiates like a whirlwind. Yet... Unfocused."
"I honestly never imagined Kirito as being such an angry person." said Liz.
"Exactly. He's one of the most chill people I know." said Silica.
"You weren't there when he fought Kayaba and cleared SAO, or when I was nearly raped by Sugou. Kirito was terrifying on both occasions." said Asuna.
"Wait, you were almost raped?!" said Akira.
The non-SAO characters in the audience immediately started asking Asuna questions in concern.
"That must have been so traumatic for you! I'm so sorry!" Hinata said to Asuna.
"You poor girl! Are you alright?!" Yor asked Asuna in concern.
"What sick bastard tried to do this to you? Do you want us to kill him?" Koneko asked Asuna with a vengeful look in her eyes.
Asuna then calmed them all down.
"I'm fine now. Kirito saved me from getting raped and now the bastard who tried to do it to me is serving a life sentence in prison." said Asuna.
"I sliced the scumbag to bits in the virtual world, then I nearly slit his throat in the real world. Part of me still wishes I finished him off, but then I'd never get to be with Asuna if I did." said Kirito.
"Virtual world?" Takemichi asked.
"Let's just continue with this universe." said Luke.
Kayaba then sensed something else in his apprentice.
"No... Not unfocused. Hidden." said Kayaba, "You are trying to hide your rage from me. Why?"
Kayaba then realized why.
"Ahhh..." he said as he removed his hand from Kirito's shoulder, "I see."
He turned away from Kirito and looked back out the window.
"Then what is your hesitation, Lord Vader? Give in to your anger! Strike me down!" shouted Kayaba.
"I have no such wish, master." Kirito said as he remained crouched on one knee.
Kayaba then summoned Kirito's lightsaber into his hand, switched it on, and held the red blade to Kirito's neck, but Kirito didn't even flinch.
"PATHETIC! A mighty Sith Lord crippled by melancholy and indecision! All due to the attachments of a Jedi!" Kayaba spat.
"There is no attachment. Kazuto Kirigaya was weak. I destroyed him." said Kirito.
"Did you?! Yet Kirigaya's powers dwarfed yours!" Kayaba shouted.
Kirito looked up at Kayaba.
"Did they not?!" Kayaba asked.
Kirito didn't say anything.
"No?" Kayaba said.
Kayaba then switched off the lightsaber.
"Rise, Lord Vader." he said.
Kirito stood back up.
"It is the way of the Sith to destroy all who stand in our way to power. To eliminate our rivals, is it not?" Kayaba asked as he held the lightsaber hilt out back to Kirito.
Kirito put his hand on the hilt.
"Who stands in your way, Lord Vader?" Kayaba asked.
Kirito took the lightsaber and Kayaba let go of it.
"Who holds you back? Keeps you subjected and decrepit within that armor? Anyone? If so, only your hate will eradicate him. Use it." said Kayaba.
Kirito put his finger on the switch to turn on his lightsaber.
"Come on. Just kill the bastard already." Kirito said to his other self on the screen.
But then...
"I... cannot, my master." Kirito said.
"DAMNIT!" shouted Kirito.
Kayaba sighed and put his hand back on Kirito's shoulder.
"That is why my disappointment with you grows by the second!" Kayaba said, "Embrace the choices that have brought you here! Revel in them. Or forever live in the shadow of Kazuto Kirigaya."
Kayaba removed his hand from Kirito's shoulder and walked back to his throne.
"Now, I have a task for you, my young apprentice." Kayaba said as he sat back in his throne, "There's a great disturbance in the Force. A powerful Jedi survives in the Mid Rim. He must pay the price for his betrayal."
"As you wish." said Kirito.
"He hides on my home planet of Naboo." Kayaba revealed.
This surprised Kirito.
"And of course... that of the late Queen Asuna Yuuki." said Kayaba.
"I'm from the same planet as Kayaba?" said Asuna.
"That's literally what he said." Luke said.
Across the Stars played for a moment.
"It is no coincidence. He draws you there because he knows who you are, Lord Vader. The clones there report he wields an amethyst blade." Kayaba revealed.
"Wait, amethyst? You mean purple? Does that mean..." Agil said.
Luke nodded.
"Yep. You're alive, Agil. At least in this Star Wars universe you are." said Luke.
"How is that possible?" Kirito asked.
"Power." answered Kayaba, "That's how."
"Honestly, I'm not too surprised someone as powerful as Agil could survive in this universe." Klein said.
"And you and I both know this particular Jedi wields a great deal of it." said Kayaba.
"I will finish what we started, master." said Kirito.
"Will you? I wonder." Kayaba said.
He then got out of his throne and approached Kirito.
"Eliminate this Jedi. Pledge yourself to the Dark Side fully, Lord Vader." Kayaba said as he put his hand back on Kirito's shoulder and walked him over to the exit, "Relish in the gifts it bestows upon you. Only then will you be able to cast off the chains that bind you. And achieve a power as never before. Only then will you be able to destroy... the rival before you."
"Then I will not fail. master." Kirito said as he bowed his head and then left the room.
It then cut to outside the Imperial cruiser as we see Kirito in his modified starfighter and using a hyperspace ring to jump to lightspeed.
"Commander." Kayaba said as it cut back to him in his throne room talking into a device on his wrist, "Prepare my personal shuttle. I seem to be afflicted by a sudden touch of nostalgia to visit my beloved Naboo."
Kayaba laughed as he looked out the window at the construction of the Death Star.
It then cut to Kirito in his starfighter jumping out of lightspeed and arriving at the beautiful planet of Naboo. He detached his ship from his hyperspace ring and flew down to the part of a planet where a storm was about to happen.
We see his ship land outside a building on Naboo at nighttime, with a storm off in the distance.
It cut to inside the building as we see clone troopers guarding the perimeter.
Kirito entered the building and was met by a clone commander in red and white armor.
"Welcome, Lord Vader." the clone commander greeted as he and Kirito walked down the hallway, "The Jedi's barricaded himself in the catacombs and sealed off all the entrances. So we had to blow our way in. But now all of the troopers we sent in... None have returned."
"Lost troopers do not concern me, Commander. I want that Jedi." Kirito said as they stopped walking, "I will use the 501st."
"As you wish, sir." the commander said as he walked away.
"The 501st was Kirito's clone squadron he led during the Clone Wars. Now he leads them as Darth Vader, but the clones don't know Vader is Kirito." Luke explained.
"Make way for the boys in blue!" the commander said to the other clones.
Kirito looked around the area, then he turned around and was about to walk away, but then...
"Kazuto." the voice of Asuna whispered in his head.
Kirito stopped in his tracks and remained perfectly still.
"Wait, how is the Asuna girl able to speak to him from the afterlife? Don't you need to be Force-sensitive to do that?" Draken asked.
"I'm not really sure myself." said Luke.
Kirito then heard blaster fire and turned back around to see a huge hole blasted in the floor in front of him that lead to the catacombs.
"Go, go, go, go!" a clone down in the catacombs shouted.
"Blast him!" another clone shouted.
A clone was heard making the Wilhelm scream.
"BROTHER!" yet another screamed.
Flashes of blue light went off in the darkness of the catacombs as blasters were heard going off and a lightsaber was heard swinging.
"WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS!" a clone screamed.
"HELP US!!!" the last clone screamed.
An explosion was heard and the screaming stopped... and a purple light was seen down in the catacombs before vanishing.
Kirito stood there for a few moments, and then... he switched on his red lightsaber.
The screen cut to black.
"So wait, that's it's?! What about the fight between Kirito and Agil?!" Klein said.
"And what was the deal with Kirito hearing Asuna in his head?! Is he gonna see her as a ghost?!" Lis asked.
"I dunno. That's all for this story. We may or may get an episode 2, but we'll see." Luke said.
Thx for reading. I've been in kind of an SAO and Star Wars phase lately and I wanted to show some more of both things in this book. Let me know what chapters I mentioned in the previous chapter you want to see next.
