[[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Vader was horrified by this]], though he carried the deed out all the same.

With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the Force, and each other to depend on, the two Sith must decide if the brutal bond they share will make them victorious allies or lethal adversaries.]]
