Anakin Skywalker twirled his lightsaber back and fourth as he locked blades with Count Dooku. His mop of brown hair bounced with every step he took. When he attacked, Dooku blocked. When he blocked, Dooku attacked. He just hated him so much. Anakin Skywalker channelled his anger into more aggressive strikes as he attacked. His blue blade once again met the villainous red blade of Count Dooku.

Viciously, Dooku struck back, by forcing the Chosen one up against a wall. His yellow teeth snarled at his as he came closer, looking foreward to the final strike.

Just a few more steps, thought Anakin. A small, brief smile appeared on his face, before disappearing.

Dooku lurked to the place where Anakin wanted him.

"NOW!" ordered Anakin. Appearing from their hiding places were several of Anakin's best men; Captain Rex, Fives, Echo, Jesse and Kix. They surrounded Dooku, raising their weapons.

Dooku was now encased in a ray shield.

"Master," called Anakin into his comlink. "Commence the counter attack. We've caught him."

"Well done, Anakin." replied a voice. "And there was your Padawan thinking that she would have to rescue you. Again."

"Snips?" questioned Anakin

"Yes, Skyguy?" replied the voice of Ahsoka

"Did you think I was gonna fail?" Asked Anakin

"Nah, it's just that you always take soooo long just to catch a bad guy." responded Ahsoka, with her snippiness.

"Very funny Ahsoka," Smiled Anakin shaking his head. "Very funny."

Anakin walked over to the Sith Lord. "You will pay for everything." he snarled. "If it was upto me, you wouldn't be standing here right now.

"I'm going to turn you over to the Senate to decide a lengthy punishment."

"It was a very good fight, my young boy." smiled Count Dooku. "But the Senate will have to rebook my fate later." He bared his teeth. Suddenly, a cloud of darkness appeared and circled the Count. It vanished, taking the count with it.

"What just happended.....?" questioned Rex, taking his helmet off, not knowing what he had just seen.

"I have no idea, Rex." responded Anakin. I have no idea."

Darth Vader opened his eyes to see his quarters surrounding him. He had just relived one of Anakin Skywalker's moments. One of his memories. He needed to learn what Count Dooku did that day. He needed it. It was useful. Very useful.

He stood up and looked at his face. He could still see that annoying scar that Ventriss had given him. He could see his tired, worn face looking right back at him. He flexed his golden prosthetic, hidden underneath his old glove. He may look like Anakin Skywalker, but he wasn't. Anakin Skywalker was dead. He was alive.

Suddenly, his comlink began to bleep.

"My lord," came the voice of a med droid. "The surgery has been successful."

"Good." Smiled Vader. He ended the call and walked out of his quarters.

Gasping for air, and hanging upside down,  she looked around at the plain black walls and then at the interrogation droid. "Where is Kenobi?" it questioned.

"Dead." she responded. She knew it was true. She had seen him fall to his death, to protect Ahsoka and her. She had open gashes, burns and skin peeling away from her battered body. She looked at the bloody droid as it pushed a button.

She felt her body being lowered back into the tank of boiling water. He braced her self by taking one last breath as her head entered the tank once again, followed by the rest of her body.

The water hissed and sizzled at her body, as it burned through another layer of skin. She stopped her self from yelling in agony, just as she felt the water temperature increase, fast. After about 30 seconds more of holding her breath, she could feel her body being lifted up from the water.

Opening her eyes, she could see that another person had entered the room. "Hi, Anakin!" She smiled, trying to hide her pain. "Your droid here isn't much of a conversationalist. I was getting bored."

"Shut up, Clone." snarled the Sith Lord. He didn't have time for this. If he wanted Ahsoka. He would let her come to him. "I have a plan for you."

"Don't tell me: you're gonna frazzle my brain." she guessed. Suddenly, the thought of seeing Rex's body on the floor, made her turn away from the Sith. She missed brother. She missed them all.

"Not yet." replied the Sith Lord. "I'm going to make Ahsoka come to me and I'm going to need you to do it." Two regular storm troopers marched in and unhooked her from the tank. She was the secured on to some sort of stretcher before being pushed out of the room.

Darth Vader walked behind her.

After heading up a turbolift and a long walk down a corridor, she found herself in another black room. In the centre of the room stood some sort of machine. It looked just like the one Rex had been strapped to, but it was older and looked outdated. She watched the stormtroopers as they pushed her over to the machine.

In the corridor, Darth Vader's presence meant that all of the other troopers and officers has moved into the nearest room. His tall, hooded figure over powered everyone. Once you were part of Darth Vader's crew, you had to obey every single command and hope you don't get force choked to death in the process. He loved watching every one cower in fear at his feet. He loved watching them move out of his way. It was great to feel important. Except this version of being important meant being alone most of the time.

When he entered the room, his guest was strapped into place. "Don't get used to this room." he smirked. "If I can't break you then, you will join me."

"Why would I want to join you?" she quizzed.

"I want to make you more powerful." replied the Sith Lord. "You are the person I have been searching for. You are useful, Clone. You are very useful."

"Why do you keep saying that?" She looked at him, directly. "I don't have anything that you could want or need.

"I'm just a plain old clone."

"No, you are a genetically enhanced clone with the Force." he corrected, circling her. "Not to mention that you can summon elements."

"I haven't done that since Ob-Wan died." she replied, a spot of anger emerging in her voice. "And that was 4 years ago."  Her eyes followed her fallen comrade.

"I'm willing to give you access to all of my resources, including a legion of Troopers, ad the rank of General." He paused for a dramatic effect. "Let me show you why you should do this."

He placed a hand on her shoulder. He closed his eyes. He opened them.

"No...." shaking her head in disbelief. "No..."

"If you join me, we can over throw Palpatine and restore democracy. We can bring peace across the galaxy." Vader smiled. "All you have to do is bring me Ahsoka and your precious clones can go free."

"What do you want to do with Ahsoka?" she asked, fearing she could be walking into a trap.

"I want to talk to her." Vader replied. "Not kill her or turn her. I just want to see my old apprentice again."

"If it will save them," sighed the female clone. "Then count me in."

Using the force to release her from the machine, Vader nodded to the two stormtroopers, who quick marched out of the room.

She flexed her arms as she watched Vader turn to her again. "I don't know whether you're telling the truth or not," she paused, "but the force says you are."

"Enough of that." Vader looed at her from underneath his cloak. "General Claw, your mission is to find the Jedi known as Ahsoka Tano and bring her to me, alive.

"And don't harm her."  

"Yes, Sir." she replied.

"Follow me, you will be wanting to se your new legion." Vader swiftly walked out of the room. The new General followed the Sith Lord back up the empty corridor, trying to keep up with his long, smooth strides.

After taking several turbolift rides and getting odd looks from officers, Vader walked down one final corridor, and entered a pass code to the first door on the left. The door slid open, as he walked in. He looked back at her and motioned her to follow him.

Walking through the door way. she felt the breeze of the door sliding closed behind her, once again.

Standing next to a mirror, shaving his blonde stubble, was none other than the man, that she had watched Vader kill 10 days ago.
