Darth Vader is widely known for his intimidation and hardcore way of doing things, having a
considerable amount of moments where he expertly displays the terrifying power of the darkside
against his enemies.
With that being said, the recently released Marvel comic: Vader - Dark Visions may have
just given us Vader’s greatest combative moment yet.
During the height of the Galactic Civil War, there was an isolated planet that once contained
a prosperous and highly advanced civilization.
But that all changed when a massive creature of immeasurable power came from the skies
and obliterated everything on the surface, forcing the survivors of the destruction to
hide underground, later only daring to wander out onto the surface when the gigantic creature
slept.
Over the years, if not decades, the natives came to worship the creature that destroyed
their ancestors as some sort of god named Ender.
One day however, a battle took place right over this very planet, a battle between the
Empire and the Rebel Alliance.
Leading the attack was Lord Vader, who was later forced to make a crash landing after
a foolish rebel pilot kamikazed into his starfighter.
Vader crash landed right on top of the sleeping giant known as Ender, which caused the nearby
natives of the underground settlement to flee into their bunkers.
They all ran, all but one.
A young boy who decided to see what the skies from above had brought to his planet.
When Vader stepped out of his starfighter, he quickly realized that he was standing upon
a beast the size of a mountain, looking at its giant eye that looked right back at him
directly from below.
Now awaken due to the crash, Ender rose and roared across the lands as something had dared
disturb it from its slumber.
As this happened, Vader quickly ignited his crimson lightsaber and thrusted it right into
the creature’s giant eye.
Ender screamed out in pain as it attempted to grab its attacker, but Vader was quicker
than it anticipated, jumping away right in time.
He then ran up Ender’s body while slicing his lightsaber deep into its skin as he made
his way back up to the creature’s head.
As this battle was happening, the native boy saw it all from a distance and a deep hope
appeared within him.
As for him, all he saw was a black knight that descended from the heavens, that could
bring an end to the tyranny the creature bestowed upon his people.
Back to the fight, Vader was able to slice up Ender’s mouth before getting hit and
snatched up by the beast’s hand.
From the boy’s perspective, it appeared the black knight had lost.
But unknown to him, his so called black knight had the force.
Using the power of the mystical force, Vader was able to get his lightsaber back and slice
out of the creature’s grip.
He then fell into the ruins of the ancient city they were fighting in, causing the wildlife
there to run off as their peace was disturbed.
Not seeing the black knight, the boy began to run as the creature made its way toward
him.
Despite his desperate attempt at running, the creature quickly caught up to the boy
who began to beg for its forgiveness.
But before he was about to meet his end, Vader came to the rescue riding on top of a quadrupedal
creature like a true black knight.
As Vader got close, he force pushed the boy out of his way before confronting the giant
beast once more, slicing up its gigantic hand while the creature was distracted by the flying
boy.
Bringing its attention back to Vader, the beast opened up its mouth and prepared to
unleash the full power of its fiery breath.
But before it could unleash the power that it built up from within, Vader used the force
to crush the creature’s jaws shut, causing the fiery breath to explode from within.
With Ender now staggered by having its own attack backfire, Vader wasted no time slicing
the creature up, cutting open its entire body and neck, until it finally stopped moving.
And with that, Vader stood upon the beast known as Ender, the very same beast that destroyed
an entire civilization and had forced its survivors to live in fear.
Witnessing the death of the giant creature that had tyrannical ruled his people, the
boy ran up to thank the dark knight that came from above.
Vader looked down, telling the boy that he shouldn’t thank him.
As the dark lord never did it to save him or his people, but rather for his own survival.
Seconds later the Imperial fleet from the above came to fetch their commander.
Wasting no time in dealing with some random native, Vader used the force to bring himself
up to the Star Destroyer that had arrived.
He then swiftly left the planet to go fight in another battle against the Rebel Alliance.
Back on the planet, the native people celebrated as they were liberated from Ender.
The boy retold the story of the dark knight that came from the skies and how he destroyed
the giant beast, with all the other natives eagerly listening in as they heard the story
of their new hero.
The people then rejoiced around the story of their savior, likely worshipping the dark
knight from above afterwards as they rebuilt their own great civilization on top of the
liberated surface.
