[ WP ] A Villain comes to regret all the things he has done in the past and travels back in time to stop his younger self .

The respirator attached to his mouth forced a harsh breath into the air. Pain hovered at the edge of his mind, kept away thanks to drugs and his own willpower. How had his life gone so far off track? How had he let himself be manipulated far enough to ruin the entire galaxy? He had destroyed a religion, nearly wiped it out of existence in his hunt for more power. And his wife... *How could I do that to my wife? * 
 
 He had to go back, had to fix everything before he died. *Just focus. * 
 
 His body still felt the fire licking at his skin. *Focus* 
 
 His life support was broken, fried in the recent struggle. He lay on the floor, his mask lying nearby, and his son fleeing before his world exploded around him. *I am a poison to my family. I should just stay in the trash heap as a slave. * 
 
 His mind slipped backwards, back before his Multiple Personality disorder of James Earl Jones and David Prowse, before Hayden Christensen, though it was tempting to stop there. *No, not far enough. * 
 
 Jake Mathew Lloyd. *Yes, this is it. * 
 
 Sebastian Shaw released his grip over the Force, his haggard breathing echoing in the little shop. The desert heat from outside slipped into the main room with a small group of people whispering to themselves. The young child sat behind the counter, watching them. *No, not them. Just her. * 
 
 His younger wife walked into the room, glancing over the various broken droids and star ship equipment. Sebastian Shaw watched the lizard creature prance around the store. Hatred filled his body beneath the broken black suit. *I'm not strong enough to take on my former teachers. How soon do they leave? * 
 
 The back-up power in his suit grew quieter, reminding him of how little time he had left. The two teachers walk to the far edge of the room as his younger self spewed a horrible pick-up line he had heard at the local pub. But his younger wife smiled. *Oh, that smile. * 
 
 His hatred flickered, the sight of his wife's smile allowed a sense of joy to slip in place of the fear and pain he fueled for so many years. The dark side of the Force slipped away with the loss of the pain and hatred. A soft beep from the back-up battery power slapped his mind back to his task. *She'll die if he lives. * 
 
 The lizardman bopped the nose of a small droid nearby, creating a moment of chaos. The hidden princess spins away from Jake Mathew Lloyd, reaching for her blaster. *This is it! * 
 
 Sebastian Shaw reaches out, silencing the small boy before he can tell them how to stop the chaos. He gently squeezes his hand, slipping the Force around the boy's throat to crush his windpipe. Sebastian Shaw grins at the lizardman nearby, keeping his younger wife's focus away from the dying boy behind the counter. *The fool finally did something right. * 
 
 He lowers his hand, feeling the life leave his victim. Sebastian watched the love of his life dance around the room, trying to stop the hopping droid. A last tear slips from his eye as the back-up battery to his suit runs out of power. *No one will care about the death of a small slave in a backwater shop. The galaxy can continue spinning now, brighter with you in it. * 
 
 He closed his eyes, focusing on the smile he had forgotten about so long ago. His mechanical suit rests amidst the broken droids and starship parts he once knew so well. *This time I will die, so that you may live. As it always should have been. *
