"What are you talking about?" Adam said, keeping his lightsaber raised and ignited. The soft blue light filled the stone room. Sure enough, this was a tomb, but for whom, he didn't know.

"Padme was a Queen of Naboo, and a good friend. She would have been a good mother, had you not killed her." Darth Vader said, casually taking a step towards Adam. 

"Kill her? I don't even know who that is..." said Adam as the realization dawned on him. "My mother was a queen?" he said, feeling his guard begin to relax.

It was all Vader need. With the speed of the wind itself, he closed the distance towards Adam and ignited his own saber. Adam nearly failed to recover in time, but managed to catch Vader's red weapon on his own. 

"Is that why were down here, Vader? For you to tell me who my mother is? How could you even possibly know that?"

"Obi-wan never told you the truth about your father, Adam Skywalker." was all that Darth Vader said. At first, it didn't even register with Adam, but the words echoed around both the nearly empty room as well as his own mind. Adam, seeing the words for what they are, felt the sting of tears come to his eyes.

"No..." was all he could say, as his mouth had begun to dry and his heart began to beat faster and faster. The Sith Lord, sensing Adam's resolve weakening, pushed Adam way and grabbed him by the neck with one, massive arm.

"Search your feelings, you know it to be true!" he said, flinging Adam against the wall. The young Jedi hit the stone and felt the air pushed out of his lungs. 

Adam felt weak in his limbs, and looked up at the black, skull-like visage of his [i]father[/i]. Even saying it in his mind nearly brought him to madness. 

"I don't want to kill you, my son." Vader said. "The Jedi have betrayed you just as they have betrayed me. Obi-wan kept you from me and turned your mother against me." Vader lowered his saber but didn't shut it off. Adam rose to his feet, but kept his eyes on his foe.

"Join me, son, and together we can rebuild this galaxy, defeat the Emperor and bring peace at last." 

"Peace? I've seen what this [i]peace[/i] of yours looks like. You can't get peace and prosperity by standing on necks!" Adam blurted out. He felt his vision begin to turn red. This... [i]man[/i], after all the pain he caused Adam. Killing his master, murdering thousands of innocents across the galaxy and tormenting him and his friends had the gall to make an offer like this? Not a chance in hell.

"The galaxy is a violent, flawed place, my son-" Vader began before Adam cut him off.

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Adam said before rushing him again. With a leap, Adam brought his saber down on the Sith Lord's shoulder, causing Vader to give a mechanical cry of pain. Before Adam could strike again, however, Vader decided that the time for niceties was over.

Vader, now in pain, began an assault on the young Jedi. Adam called deeply on the Force, but even as dialed in as he was, he knew that his opponent had been holding back until now. This could only end one way. 

The Sith Lord's red saber slipped past Adam's guard. For just a moment, the red lightsaber blade flicked past the front of his face. For just a moment, Adam thought he had stepped away just in time.

Then the left side of his face erupted in pain and Adam smelled burning ozone and flesh. His lightsaber switched off and hit the stone floor with a loud clang. Adam could only hold his face and scream. 

"You brought this upon yourself." Vader said from outside of Adam's now limited vision. "You are strong in the Dark Side, young Skywalker, but if only accepted it, you might be able to defeat me. I trust that the next time we meet, you will be more receptive." 

The last words from Vader echoed throughout the chamber and Adam felt himself cast into total darkness. Despite his body's protests, he fell to stone floor and let the shadows envelope him.
