Vader strode forward, ignoring the protests of the Atlesian guards.

With a swipe of his hand, the barrier dislodged itself and fell into the ocean. Vader ignited his lightsaber, the forces of Atlas raising their weapons.

Cordovin: You must be a fool, charging head-on against the forces of Atlas!

Vader didn't respond, his mechanical breathing activating.

Vader: I have destroyed planets, Woman... You serve no threat to me.

Vader pointed his lightsaber at the overconfident leader.

Vader: Allow us to take a bullhead, and I will not destroy your petty excuse of a military base.

Cordovin: Wha-?! You dare!... Light him up!

Cordovin ran off, obviously running for a weapon herself. The Atlesian knights and soldiers all took aim at Vader, who stood motionless.

Opening fire, Vader smiled, they were using Atlas guns. Meaning they fired laser bolts and not bullets, easily deflectable.

Raising his blade, he expertly deflected each laser bolt, a portion of them missing altogether. Not aiming for the human soldiers, he deflected each bolt at the Atlesian knights, dropping them one by one.

Vader's attention was drawn to a massive thumping sound. Turning his head, he saw a massive Paladin move towards him.

The Paladin raised its canon at Vader, sensing danger, he moved out of the way. The Canon fired, incinerating the place where Vader had last stood.

Maul, Din, and everybody else crouched out of view from the base, they watched as Vader lept to the shoreline, drawing Cordovin away.

Maul nodded to the others, they ran to help Vader while he and Din sprinted for the base. Din activated his jetpack and grabbed Maul's arm, they landed next to the bullhead, drawing the attention of the two guards of Cordovin.

Both: Hey! What are - ?

Maul waved his hand, making them stop.

Maul: We have clearance to be here.

Both: You have clearance to be here.

Maul: You will go inside and report nothing is amiss.

Both: We will go inside and report nothing!

They both turned, strutting back towards the main building.

Din: That's a neat trick.

Maul: Unfortunately, it only works on the weak-minded.

Maul extended his hand towards the bullhead, unlocking the door. While Din stood guard, aiming his pulse rifle.

They heard a click, and the door slid open. Maul walked in, lightsaber in as Din backed up slowly behind him.

-At the turret-

Blake popped a panel off, trying to find a kill switch.

Ahsoka: Blake... is something wrong?

Blake: No... why would you say that?

Ahsoka only looked at Blake, she looked away in shame. She can sense my emotions, Blake thought.

Blake: ... I keep thinking about Adam.

Ahsoka: Who is Adam?

Blake: He...He was my partner and mentor when I was with the White Fang.

Blake quieted down, trying to focus on the panel. She yelled in rage.

Blake: This thing is impossible!

Ahsoka: I got it.

She activated one of her lightsabers, slicing through the wires.

Blake:...Well, Adam did a lot of...damage. Upset that I left, he was directly responsible for the fall of Beacon. And was responsible for Yang losing her arm.

Ahsoka: I see...

Ahsoka walked around a pillar, before quickly pulling Blake back.

Blake: What?

Ahsoka pressed a finger to her lips, signifying to be quiet.

Blake questioned this until she heard a sword being sheathed, they peeked around the pillar, Blake's eyes widening.

There stood Adam wiping blood off his sword, a dead Atlesian soldier lying in front of him.

Blake flipped around the pillar before Adam could see her, she began to hyperventilate. Ahsoka sensed this and immediately caught on.

Ahsoka unclipped her lightsabers to Blake's suprise, she tried to stop her but quieted down when she heard Adam's voice.

Adam: I know you're out there my love! You can't hide!

Adam turned, yelling out to the entire turret. With his back turned, Ahsoka removed her cloak.

Adam: Ahh, there you are - !

Adam was interrupted as Ahsoka lept down, her lightsaber's activated. Drawing his blade, he blocked the two sabers surprised to see someone besides Blake.

Adam: This does not concern you...

Ahsoka: I think it does.

Ahsoka moved her blade and delivered a kick to Adam's stomach, knocking him back. Ahsoka noticed and questioned this.

Adam rushed forward and delivered a small shockwave, Ahsoka was surprised by this and was knocked back slightly.

Blake: No!

Adam turned to see Blake and smiled, he leaped towards her. She drew her weapon hastily.

Ahsoka ran forward, extending her hand and pushing him with the force. Adam flew much farther than expected, but still was able to grab Blake, sending them toppling over a railing.

Ahsoka cursed and retracted her blades, leaping over the railing to follow.

Blake tried positioning herself but crashed through the branches nonetheless. She yelled in pain as her Aura took damage.

Ahsoka flew downwards, using the force to slow her fall. She saw Blake and raised a hand to stop her, but quickly ignited her short blade and blocked Adam's attack.

Adam: I promised that I would kill all of Blake's friends... You will make a great start!

Adam dodged Ahsoka's other blade and tried swiping her feet out. Ahsoka lept over and slashed at Adam, their blades locking again.

Ahsoka: Double the pride, twice the fall.

Ahsoka force pushed him back, Adam raising his blade, releasing another shockwave. Ahsoka easily dodged it, flipping she brought her blades down again.

Adam had to admit this woman was skilled, he had to constantly be on the defensive when she attacked. But he bided his time, storing energy in his sword from every attack.

Adam: Why do you help the humans? Faunus had always been discriminated against!

Ahsoka: I'm no Faunus...

This shocked Adam, Ahsoka used this and rushed forward. She landed a hit on his chest, depleting his Aura to almost zero.

Adam gritted his teeth and grabbed the cloth covering his eyes, he tore it off revealing his scar.

Adam released an incredible shockwave, catching Ahsoka off guard and throwing her into the forest. Dropping her lightsabers before crashing into a tree.

Blake hoped onto a tree, seeing Ahsoka being thrown back. She had abandoned her coat after the damage it took from her fall.

Adam: How many friends Blake?! How many do I have to kill?!

Blake lept forward, weapon in hand. Adam twirled his blade, deflecting the attack. Blake knew she was no match for Adam, but she would try.

She attacked with her blade, before converting it to pistol form. Opening fire on Adam, he moved his sword expertly, slicing each bullet.

Blake rushed forward, their blades locking.

Adam: I told you, Blake...

Adam sliced her blade.

Adam: No matter where you are.

Adam hit her blade again, chipping it.

Adam: No matter who you're with...

Adam sliced the blade again, splitting it in two.

Adam smacked her across her face, her lip slightly bleeding.

Adam then kicked her off the cliff, Ahsoka raised her hand and floated her to the cliff.

Adam: You interfered!

He pointed his sword at her, before beginning to move. Adam stopped and questioned the noise he was hearing, was that a motorcycle?

Yang launched bumblebee off the cliff, the motorcycle colliding with Adam as she landed on the ground.

Adam's aura shattered, he slowly stood, clutching his shoulder.

Adam: I remember you...

Yang charged forward, while Ahsoka focused lifting Blake.

Yang fired her gauntlets, but dodged Adam's counter attack, delivering a rapid series of punches.

Adam dodged backwards, taking some of the hits on his sword, while his body took the rest.

Adam released a shockwave, knocking Yang bac.

Blake: His semblance!

Yang: What?!

Blake: His sword takes damage and dishes it back out!

Yang: What? That's just cheap.

Adam stood, using his sword as a support.

Adam: Heh, well, Yang, think you can be faster than you were at Beacon?

Yang froze, her fear taking over.

Her arms began to shake, falling slowly to her sides.

Ahsoka: Yang! Focus.

Yang snapped out of it, and looked towards the grey Jedi, nodding.

Yang watched as Adam dashed forward, Yang stood in a defensive position.

He slashed forward, but exclaimed in shock as Yang caught the sword. She smirked.

Yang: Oh, I am...

Yang tore the sword out of his grasp, throwing it over the side.

Adam: No!

He ran to the side, trying to grab it. But instead found Blake uppercutting him, with help from Ahsoka.

He stumbled backwards Ahsoka raised her hand, freezing him in place.

Yang scooped downwards, grabbing one of Ashoka's lightsabers. Blake grabbed the other and ran forward.

They activated the blades, and stabbed forward.

Two white beams pierced through Adam Taurus. His eyes widening in pain, but no noise came out of his mouth.

They retracted the blades, Adam stumbled forward. Before falling off the cliff, his body colliding with a rock as he fell. Eventually, he disappeared under the water.

Ahsoka walked up to the two, smiling slightly.

Ahsoka: Well done you two. It takes a great deal of courage to face your past.

They looked down at Ahsoka's lightsabers, before extending their arms towards her.

Yang: These are yours.

Ahsoka picked up the full lightsaber from Yang before looking back to Blake.

Ahsoka: Keep it. You're going to need a new weapon.

Blake's face showed shock. Before smiling and attaching it to her belt. The three walked off to meet with the rest of the group.
