After the events of Order 66 and the near complete destruction of the Jedi Order, the
few survivors that day scattered across the galaxy, trying to hide themselves and their
force powers from everyone to prevent themselves from being executed by Darth Vader and the
Inquisitors.
Unfortunately, one of these surviving Jedi was tracked down by Darth Vader, BUT he was
one of the greatest Jedi fighters of all time and was known for only one thing inside the
Order…
His ability to kill…
This was not going to be an easy task for Vader….
So, lets break down the story of how one of the toughest Jedi almost killed Darth Vader
after Order 66.
The story begins after Darth Vader manages to track down a Jedi Knight named Kirak Infil’a,
who is deep in hiding after the Jedi’s darkest day.
The reason he is hunting this Jedi is because he needs a new lightsaber after losing his
to Obi-Wan on Mustafar.
After managing to track down the master, Vader’s droid informs him that although he has not
been active in Jedi affairs for many years, even when he was, he was not the type of guy
to take part in diplomacy, training or research…
He had precisely one purpose within the Jedi order… and that was to fight.
Stationed out on the River Moon of Al’Doleem, Kirak Infil’a is floating in the air with
the force, mediating on his teachings and conjuring up the strength he needs to survive.
As part of this training, he has a group of attack droids ready to fight him, so he can
train his defences and remain sharp for the coming years of hiding.
The solemn master continues fighting his training droid, named Arex while assembling four Padawan’s
Traps at once, something that the droid doesn’t believe his master should be doing because
he instead should be hiding his Jedi abilities…
Infil’a however tells him that the easy path rarely leads to a worthwhile destination.
The droid, in response, snaps back and suggests that his philosophy is overly simplistic,
before telling him that at least the easy path would allow him to exist.
Infil’a however tells him that he is a Jedi and pretending otherwise would not be easy
at all.
While this is going on, Vader and his droid are closing in on their target and they quickly
slam through one of Kirak Infil’a’s traps, causing the dark lord to crash down onto the
rocky surface below.
The droid stays behind to continue repairs and suggests that Vader wait before confronting
the fieresome Jedi atop the hill, but Vader tells him that he can sense Kirak waiting
for him.
He does not want to disappoint his Jedi enemy.
Travelling through the nearby sprawling Canyon, Vader is very soon met by the Jedi, who is
standing on the high ground above him.
As Vader walks closer, Infila can sense the horrifying aura of Darkness surrounding Darth
Vader and angrily asks “was it you”?
Before the Jedi master can ask any more questions however, Vader reaches his cyberntic arm out
and begins force choking him with tremendous strength causing great pain to the master.
Vader however is soon shocked, as Kirak infila overpowers him and manages to push him back
with the force.
Infila then says that he will not be defeated by a dark creature such as Vader.
He reveals that he was not with the Jedi on the day of Order 66, as he was participating
in a Barash Vow, which was a Jedi tradition where one would disconnect themselves from
the Order and all of it’s activities completely, not making contact with them until the end
of the vow.
Infila however could feel the death of almost every Jedi on the day of Order 66, and senses
tha same darkness now, demanding to know if Vader was behind it.
Vader then coldly answers…
Yes.
After hearing this, Infila demands to know if Vader is here to kill him also, which Vader
again gives him a very sharp yes.
Unexpectedly however, Infil’a breaks out into a maniacal laughter, declaring the end
of his Barash Vow, before demanding that Vader climb to the top of the nearby mountain.
He explains that the mountain is named Passvaal and is a sacred Jedi testing ground, with
those who climb it being challenged by the force, and the higher they get, the harder
the challenge becomes…With Vader being a former Jedi himself, this should be especially
tough for him.
He then shouts out to Vader, telling the dark lord that he will await him on the highest
ground possible…
Following this, Infil’a immediately orders his droid Arex to open the flood gates, hoping
to rain down a torrent of fast moving water down on vader.
The plan works and Vader is quickly swept away from the rushing water, but he is soon
able to recover and use the force to keep the water away from him.
As Vader begins his clime up the sacred mountain his challenge begins and he immediately grabs
a massive eagle-like creature by the neck, before slamming it into the nearby rockface
with pure rage and anger.
More of the creatures swarm the Sith Lord, but they are no no match for him.
Watching Vader complete these challenges, Arex asks his master if he should blow the
bridge to make it even more difficult for him to pass, but instead of giving an an Answer,
the Jedi master tells his droid that he can feel the cold darkness of Vader down in the
canyon, the exact same feeling he felt during Order 66…
He then asks his droid what he thinks Vader is.
Is he a sith?
Is he a monster?
Trawling through his databnks, Arex tells his Master that he doesn’t believe Darth
Vader is a Sith because he hasn’t seen a red-bladed lightsaber yet, but he certainly
does see the traits of a dark side user.
And at this point, Vader hasn’t actually obtained his first red lightsaber after losing
his blue one to Obi-Wan on mustafar.
Soon after, Vader passes the first challenge and moves on to the spikewind part of the
climb, but Infila does not want him to face the traps…
Instead, he comes out to face Darth Vader and ignites his green blade, ready to strike.
He taunts Vader by sarcastically telling him that he’s doing a great job and is almost
at the top, but Vader doesn’t take this well at all and instead slams him away with
the force, into the nearby rock wall.
Having seen this Arex ignites his electro blade and bravely shouts out to Infila not
to fear as he will destroy the mechanical man.
Arex charges at the Dark lord, telling him that he has served the Jedi on this mountain
for generations and that the Dark Side will never win, but before he can even finish his
sentence, Vader tears his arm from his body and tosses the droid off the cliff with ease.
Darth Vader also takes his weapon, giving him the ability to duel to the death…
Before even taking a swink, Kirak INfila senses that Vader is not only here to kill him, but
also here to take something…
He knows that Vader wants his lightsaber.
The two then lock blades and furiously clash, ducking and weaving between each other's swings.
As the showdown gets more and more intense, Vader’s leg snaps, leaving him on the edge
of defeat, with Kirak infila clearly holding all of the cards.
Before dealing a final blow, Kirak realises that Vader could not have wiped out the whole
Jedi Order on his own, knowing there must be a master…
He then brutally force pushes the 1-legged Vader off the cliff, as he shouts out that
once he kills him, he will seek out and destroy the master.
This leaves Vader Badly injured and gasping for air through his suit.
This is the closes Vader has come to death since Mustafar.
The horribly injured Vader then groans in pain, suffering even more than he already
did inside the metal suit.
Despite being in immense pain, Vader managed to gather the strength to track down the Jedi
Master, and hopes to put an end to him for good.
At this point, the Jedi master has escaped into Ambalaar city, which is protected only
by a nearby dam.
Inside the city, he asks the local Tholothian mechanic who he left his ship with when he
started his barash vow, to prepare it, as he needs it immediately.
While this is happening ,Vader is clutching at his torn off leg, and eventually gathers
the immense strength required to reattach it, before standing and beginning his journey
into Amballar city to hunt down the master.
While helping to prepare his own ship, Kirak senses that terrifying darkness once again.
He immediately feels a rush of adrenaline and runs outside, where he very quickly sees
Darth Vader standing atop the dam.
This time, Vader is filled with far more rage and anger than ever before, demanding that
the Master come out to face him.
Kirak Infila really has no choice at this point, and immediately ignites his emerald
green blade, vowing to end this Darkness once and for all.
The two then ferociously return to their fight, clashing blades and swinging with all of their
power.
They are very quickly interrupted however after a barrage of blaster bolts comes their
way, seemingly from nowhere.
As the two force users turn their heads, they notice the local security force has fired
warning shots at them, warning them to cease their fight immediately .Vader however has
no respect or care whatsoever for them, immediately using the force to toss the lowly guards off
the dam.
Kirak Infila is horrified by this action, rapidly extending his arm with the force to
hold the guards in the air, preventing their immediate deaths.
This absolutely infuriates Vader to a level he hasn’t felt since the fight on Mustafar.
Taking things even further, Vader begins force crushing all of the water contaminant units
of the city, sending Kirak Infila into a deep panic.
As the containers start to burst Infila desperately tries to stop him, But Vader simply calls
him a fool, stealing his lightsaber the moment Infila focuses on stopping the water from
flooding the city.
After taking his green Blade, Vader then lifts the Jedi Master up into the air, high above
the city brutally force choking him.
Infila begs Vader to kill him, but spare the city from flooding… but to no avail.
Vader continues crushing the containment units, horribly flooding every single building in
the city, all while forcing Kirak to watch.
In his final act of darkness, Vader tosses Kirak’s dying body forcefully into the flood
waters, immediately killing him on impact, along with killing everyone in the city thanks
to the flooding.
This is Vader’s first major mission since Mustafar, and he has killed thousands…
all to gain his first lightsaber as a Sith.
So that is the Jedi who almost killed Darth Vader.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed the video.
Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one!
