[ EU ] Shortly before Order 66 a Jedi knight achieves true balance between the light and the dark side . He become a grey Jedi .

Something kept poking at Palpatine's mind; something was calling to him. It had kept him up for days at a time, and was slowly starting to interfere with his grand plans concerning Order 66. Something had altered the balance of the Force, something that ascended the matters of Sith and Jedi. 
 
 `` Master, the Kaminoans have told us that the inhibitor chips in the Clones are ready to be activated at will.'' said the voice of apprentice Darth Vader. `` Master? Something disturbs you, what is it?'' 
 
 `` A disturbance in the Force, Anakin. Someone has achieved a promising sign of power. A rival to your power.'' responded Palpatine, who was now formulating a plan to test his dark apprentice even further. 
 
 `` Who is it my Lord? Master Yoda? Obi-Wan?'' the voice of Anakin was filling with hate and anger, he could not comprehend that someone was able to compete with his level of power. Nor did he want to accept it. 
 
 `` Yes, let the hate flow through you, Anakin.'' said Palpatine as he cynically started cackling. `` A Jedi Knight who has left the order; he has achieved a balance of both light and dark within himself. Such power, such control has never been seen before. It must be stopped.'' 
 
 `` Of course my Lord, I shall leave immediately. Where is this Jedi?'' 
 
 `` No, Lord Vader. You shall not leave today.'' said Palpatine, purposefully adding a pause to rile up the negative feelings in his apprentice. `` The 501st is slated to storm the Jedi Temple, they will dispose of this self proclaimed Grey Jedi.'' 
 
 `` My Lord, this is outrageous. The clones are tasked with something that you even admit is a rival to **my power**? I could destroy the entire temple by myself! You can not hold me back!'' 
 
 `` Excellent, Anakin, excellent! The hate flows through you, I feel it. You are ready; join the 501st tomorrow and kill this grey Jedi, kill all the Jedi you encounter on your way to him as well.'' with his plan to rile up Darth Vader complete, Palpatine threw his head back into a wicked crackle and proceeded to stare out his window upon the city of Coruscant.

 Darth Vader and the 501st stormed the Jedi Temple, shooting and slicing down all who crossed their path. Lord Vader let his hatred flow through his body and grow with each kill he gained; he was determined to silence any and all competition to his spot as apprentice to Palpatine. 
 
 `` Break formation and catch any stragglers. Go.'' the command was simple, yet Vader still thought he placed too much trust in the clones for such a big task. `` I will find you Grey Jedi, show yourself.'' shouting, and sprinting around the temple, Vader continued to slay Jedi until he could focus on his target. 
 
 `` Lord Vader, or should I say Anakin Skywalker, traitor to the galaxy?'' said a voice from behind the Jedi Library. `` I am the Grey Jedi you search for. I am Master Ram Dar.'' 
 
 Vader was not expecting a young man, no older than twenty, brandishing a newly forged yellow Lightsaber in a defensive position. `` You die today, Ram Dar. The Sith show no mercy to any type of Jedi.'' 
 
 `` So be it. Your angry flows through you, as does mine, but you can not control it; you have let your anger blind you, I have let mine guide me. 
 
 Vader had enough of the philosphical talk and force sprinted towards Ram Dar at an incredible speed pounding his lightsaber across his multiple times: to Vader's surprise, Ram Dar was able to keep up to pace with the strikes. Pouncing overhead with a force charged front flip, Ram Dar used the force to push Vader on the ground. Vader leapt back up and continued with the offensive blows while Ram Dar used a defensive style. Vader grew quickly tired of this and started pouring his anger into his blows, his eyes turning into a familiar orange, a sign of a Sith. Ram Dar noting the charge of negative energy switched to an offensive fighting style to combat the power shift, but Ram Dar's offensive blows could not match those of Vader. 
 
 `` You tap into the Dark Side for power, very clever. Yet you use the Light Side to remain in your oh so elegant form. How proper of you.'' mocked Vader `` But let's end this-'' interrupted by a force choke being performed by Ram Dar, Vader found himself being choked significantly, the air escaping his lungs and his breath rapidly fainting. 
 
 `` Yes, Vader, let us end this.'' said Ram Dar as he tightened his grip, now walking himself and Vader to a nearby wall to finish the act. As Vader was pressed against the wall an explosion could be heard in the distance, knowing this was the clones all Vader had to do was break free of this grip and stall him long enough for a much, much closer explosion. Closing his eyes Vader thought of his true love, Padme, and focused the force flowing through his body to push Ram Dar off of him, screaming with his might as he breathed again. Pulling Ram Dar with the force towards the same wall, Vader told the clones to fire an explosive weapon towards the wall. For once, Vader put genuine trust in the clones and he was satisfied when the explosion crippled Ram Dar to his knees. 
 
 `` I will admit you were a challenge, but you were never a real threat to me.'' said Vader as he beheaded the Grey Jedi. Tired and weakened from a fight that should've ended faster, Vader prepared to travel to Mustafar to meet his Master in person.
