Vader landed on Onderon with no trouble. The planet was still under Imperial control after all, even despite the senator's harsh words towards the Empire and obvious desire to leave. He descended the ramp of his Imperial Shuttle, to see the awaiting stormtrooper escort.

Without saying a word, Vader walked past the troopers who turned and followed suit right behind him. He had his hood up covering his face, not because he was trying to hide his identity, but because of the look on his face. If someone could see the look on the dark lords face, they would be frightened. He looked like he was about to slaughter an entire city.

He walked with the escort following the roads of Onderon. People gasped and backed away when they saw who it was. He could hear whispers: "Is that Lord Vader?" "What's he doing here?" "He looks angry." "I wouldn't want to be the person he's visiting."

He ignored them all and focused on the task at hand: finding and capturing Ahsoka Tano and Lux Bonteri. Oh how he wished he could kill them, but his master wanted them alive for some reason. The first place he was going to check was Lux Bonteri's house. He made a beeline there, not stopping for anyone or anything. When he reached the house he walked up to the door.

Before entering, Vader turned to the troopers. "Do a sweep of the estate. If Tano or Bonteri are found, comm me immediately. Do not let them see you, set blasters to stun just incase. The Emperor wants them alive." With that, Vader burst into the house without knocking.

"What in the name of...!" Garçon shouted before stopping when he saw who it was. He immediately kneeled and bowed his head. "Lord Vader... I was unaware you were coming."

"That was the point," Vader replied coldly.

"How may I be of assistance my Lord?" Garçon asked.

"I am looking for Lux Bonteri and the traitor Ahsoka Tano. Are they here?"

Garçon shook his head. "I'm sorry my Lord, but they left this morning. I believe that I overheard that they were going to the forests south of the city."

Vader studied the man to see if he was lying or not. It seemed as though he was not. Suddenly Vader got a call over his comm. "Lord Vader, we've concluded the sweep and came up empty." His suspicions were confirmed, Garçon had been telling the truth.

"Alright Captain, meet me back at the front gate. I may have a lead on where they are," Vader said ending the communication and heading back to the front gate.

Just as before, he kept his hood up and head down and made his way through the city of Iziz to the south exit. Before long, he had reached the edge of the forest.

"Spread out and search the area, and as before, set blasters to stun and try to stay out of their sight. Comm me as soon as you find something." The troopers all nodded and spread out.

Ahsoka and Lux were sitting in a field of flowers. Lux was resting his head on Ahsoka's lap while she playing with his long brown hair. No words were said between the couple. They were content with just each other's company.

They had come here earlier in the day and had lunch. It was kind of their new tradition, as they had started coming here for lunch daily ever since finding it while exploring the forest a few days prior.

Suddenly, Ahsoka felt something. She abruptly stopped playing with Lux's hair and started looking around. Lux noticed this and sat up.

"What is it my love?" Lux asked.

"I sense... something. Something dark. Something..." Ahsoka realized what it was and gasped. "Anakin..."

"What about him? Is he here?"

"Yes... I think so. Quickly, come with me," Ahsoka said dragging Lux back towards the forest. She climbed up a tree and Lux followed.

"Ahsoka, what're–"

"Shhh!" Ahsoka cut him off. She pointed to their left and he saw a stormtrooper. "Stay quiet and stay here no matter what." Lux opened his mouth to protest, but Ahsoka quickly kissed him to silence him before he could say a word. He just sat there stunned.

As soon as the trooper was directly below them, Ahsoka pounced on top of the poor unsuspecting trooper. He stood no chance. He barely got out a scream before Ahsoka... ended it. Apparently though that had been enough to alert a few others in the area. She felt three more closing in, so she hid in the bushes. Once the three were there and preoccupied checking on the one she had already killed, she made her move. She activated her red sabers and threw threw them at troopers. They didn't even have a chance to react before their heads were detached from their bodies.

"Damn..." Lux breathed. He had just become even more attracted to her if that was possible.

Ahsoka could sense three more people, two stormtroopers, and one aura that was radiating darkness, hatred, anger. She knew that it was Vader. She jumped back up into the tree where Lux was, and before she had even balanced herself, Lux pulled her into a passionate kiss.

They parted and Lux looked at her. "You are such a badass," Lux said with a completely straight face. Ahsoka couldn't help but giggle and bring him in for another kiss.

"Now, we've got two more troopers left, and... him," Ahsoka said shuddering. She wasn't ready to face her old master yet. Ahsoka hopped down from the tree and used the force to carry Lux out. "Stay close to me, and don't do anything stupid."

The two walked stealthily towards one of the troopers, when they were nearing him, unbeknownst to Ahoska, Lux was hatching a plan to impress Ahsoka. When they were in range, Lux jumped on the troopers back and tried to incapacitate him. The trooper grabbed Lux off of his back and threw him to the ground, pointing his blaster at Lux.

Ahsoka sighed. Looked like she was going to have to save him. She jumped out, lightsabers activated and slashed the troopers blaster in half and then used the force to push him into a nearby tree. The tree fell and crushed the trooper.

Satisfied with her work, Ahsoka turned to Lux and scowled at him. "I thought I told you not to do anything stupid!" Ahsoka angrily shouted at him.

Lux looked down and away from her in embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry," he said softly. "I just... it's your so... amazing, strong, powerful, and I'm just... kinda here, not doing anything. I wanted to show you that I wasn't helpless."

Ahsoka frowned. She hadn't realized her badassery had made him feel this way. "Lux... I know you're not helpless. I just don't want you to do anything that could get you killed. I don't know what I'd do without you Lux. You helped me see the light again, and if I lost you I fear I'd fall back to the darkness."

Lux stood up and hugged Ahsoka. "You are stronger than you know Ahsoka, both mentally and physically. You can do anything, even keep the darkness out."

Ahsoka smiled at him, but suddenly saw something behind him. It was the final stormtrooper. He had his blaster aimed at Lux and was about to pull the trigger, but Ahsoka was faster. She used the force to lift up the trooper and choke him. He gasped for breath but Ahsoka just crushed his windpipe.

"Uhhh... thanks," Lux said with a chuckle.

"Don't mention it," Ahsoka replied winking at him.

Suddenly, Lux was brought into the air. He started choking and Ahsoka turned around and activated her sabers.

"Very good my apprentice, but I have just one criticism: you didn't make him suffer enough before killing him," Vader said with a smirk.

"I am NOT your apprentice anymore. I have renounced the dark side and been brought back into the light."

"Your emotions betray you young one. I sense much anger, much hatred inside of you. It's not too late to finish what you were sent here to do and rejoin me. Together we can defeat the Emperor and rule the galaxy together!"

"NEVER!" Ahsoka said as she started towards Vader.

"Ah ah ah," Vader said as he increased his grip on Lux. Ahsoka stopped. She had been so focused on Vader that she had forgotten he had Lux in a choke hold. "One more step and the boy dies. Lay down your weapons and get on your knees if you want your beloved to live."

Ahsoka bowed her head and dropped her sabers. She got down on her knees. Vader released Lux and he started gasping for air.

"A wise decision little one," Vader started. "Now my master would like to see you. Both of you. Sweet dreams," he said before using the fallen stormtroopers blaster to stun them both.

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, as this will likely be the last one I publish for about the next week. I'm going on vacation and won't really have a chance to do much writing, if any, so I made sure to get you all one last chapter before leaving.
