‘Boo.’
Vader saw the palpatine statue he had and scoffed, he was a weak lord and Vader was about to put his plan in action to overthrow the emperor himself, well until his universe was destroyed. He then hear his him about them coming his powers scoffing even more in his mind, then he saw him throw the crystal and it floated towards Vader and into his left hand,”Thank you my lord, this is a great power you have given me and I am grateful,though we do have a problem to discuss….”Only known to him and Vader, an incident in the previous battle had rendered the Dimension Hopper almost powerless. The tentacle like appendages continue their work, The Pretender looking at Vader. Who knew he'd be this loyal once the promise of the Sith hand ruling the multiverse was laced on the table. One of his tentacles moves in front of The Pretender, handing him what looks like a purple crystal of some kind.
"It's funny." He speaks "On how they insist on calling me that. Pretender. I've managed to bring an end to nearly twenty realities, and they still mock my power." His appendages begin to glow, a bright purple energy flowing through them. "Even a wounded animal will fight till it's last breath, but them....They know they're scared, and yet they try to hide it."
"I've always found that funny. Though, I suppose that's why I have guys like you. You know how to use your power to get things done." From behind, the tentacles pull out what looks like a statue of Emperor Palpatine. "That meant getting rid of trash, like him." He punches it, reducing the statue to mere sand. Then, he suddenly absorbs the sand, his aura growing brighter. "My power is coming back to me. I know that those.....people....are going to try to send more cannon fodder to get me." The chair he's sitting in begins to float, he pears down at Vader, throwing him the crystal.
"Let them try. I'll show them how helpless and weak they truly are. Gather the others. We're going to send them a message."
