Vader was standing inside the Tantive IV. His men the 501st legion had just easily boarded the ship. Their objective was in two fold
Get the plans that were intercepted by the Rebel spies
Find and Capture Princess Leia Organa alive.
Leia was a member of the Rebel alliance, and was considered a traitor. It had taken Vader months to find who was an infomant in the Imperial Senate that was also allied with the Rebel Alliance. If he could just get her, then the Rebel base's secret location would not be to far off. Vader smiled eviliy under his mask.
"Soon, very soon, Vader thought, I will bring peace to my Empire."
"Your Empire?" a familiar voice asked him.
This voice had always seemed familiar to him. The first time he heard it he thought it was ObiWan. However... He soon found out that it was not ObiWan. Whoever the voice was... it had tormented him for nearly 20 years now.
"Who are you?" Vader asked.
"You know who I am," the voice answered him echoeing inside of his mind.
"You will find out who we are soon enough," came a new voice, yet again, a familiar voice.
"Silence!" Vader shouted harshily at the voices in his mind.
Just then a group of stormtroopers approached Vader escorting one of their prisoners: Leia Organa.
"Darth Vader... Leia began, only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not distill for this, when they hear that you've attacked a diplomatic ship-"
"Don't act so surprised your highness, Vader cutting her off while trying to use the force to read her mind, you weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed by rebel spies... I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
Vader was surprised. Her ability to block him from his mind astonished him. She was definatly strong in the force.
"I wonder, Vader thought to himself, if she could be trained to be a Sith."
"I don't know what your talking about, Leia replied, I'm a member of the Imperial Senate, and we're on a diplomatic mission to Alderan."
Vader had had enough of this nonsense.
"You are part of the Rebel alliance and a traitor! Take her away!" He shouted in complete anger.
Several storm troopers approached her and started to carry her off.
"Wait," Vader told the stormtroopers.
The stormtroopers turned around confused.
"Have her held in my quarters, guarded until I come back," Vader ordered them.
"Right away, Lord Vader," One of the troopers answered quickly.
An Imperial officer quickly came over to Vader.
"Holding her is dangerous, he began, if word of this gets out it could generate sympythy to the Rebelion in the Senate."
Vader was annoyed that this officer dared to question his authority. But for now he would forgive him.
"I have traced the rebel spies to her, now she is my link to finding their hidden base," Vader replied.
"She'll die before she'll tell you anything," the officer told him.
"Leave that to me... send a distress signal... then inform the senate that all aboard were killed."
The officer nodded and went to carry out Vader's bidding. Just then another Storm Trooper approached.
"We find no information of the Rebel plans. However, a escape pod was jetisened during the fighting... no life forms were on baord," the trooper informed Vader.
"She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod, send a detachment of troops down to get them, there will be no one to stop us this time."
Vader stood there. For a minute contemplating again if he should really have her force signiture checked. It must be high, but sadly, it won't be nearly as high as mine.
"You are hoping that she is alive," the newer voice said to him.
Vader was now just angry, for he knew who this voice was talking about: his beloved Padme, the one he tried everything to save. The one who turned against him, the one who brought ObiWant to kill him, but just left him there to burn in agony and watched him the whole time.
"You were the chosen one! ObiWan shouted, It was said that you would bring balance to the force not leave it in darkness!"
"I hate you! I shouted back.
"You were my brother Anakin, and I loved you," ObiWan stated with a tear in his eye.
Just then the heat of the lava ignited me on fire. The pain was so much. I could not evenuse the force to calm the pain or extinguish the flames. I felt as if I should be dead... but I am not. The only thing I could think was that Padme was in pain.
"What is going on with her?" I asked myself
Even though I was on fire, and in so much pain, I continued to climb up the rocky hot terrain of this Hell planet. I had to get to my Padme. I didn't even realize at first that the fire had burned as much as it could burn.
I still continued to climb up the terrain. I noticed that the Naboo Cruiser had taken off. With my last once of stregnthe I sent my consciousness to her side.
"ObiWan, Padme said, Is Anakin alright?"
ObiWan did not say anything he just put his hand on Padme's cheek, then he walked out of the room.
"Bastard!" I thought in anger, Help her!"
Just then the ship jumped into hyperspace. At the same time another ship landed and Palpatine came out with some troops. He said something but I could not hear him as I was doing my best to stay with Padme. I blacked out.
When I awoke, my spirit was still with Padme, but I was having a hard time staying with her. This was due to I was now in even more pain. I have no idea what the droids were doing to me. They were drilling prothspetics into my bone. I know I was screaming and lashing around. But my spirit was trying to stay with Padme. But now I could not see what was going on. All I could do was hear.
"I know, Obiwan, came Padme voice said very weak, that ther is still good in him."
Just then I was ripped away from there and I saw this mask above me, and it lowered down over me. Then I heard it drill into my arms to keep it attached to my lungs. I then heard a very loud breath.
"Was that me?" I asked myself.
Again, the breath.
"Yes it is me." I answered myself.
"Darth Vader, Can you hear me?" Palpatine asked.
"Yes, master, I answered.
I could see a hint of a smile on Padme.
"Where is Padme, is she safe?" I asked him.
"It seems in your anger, that you killed her," Palpatine answered.
"Yes, I killed her, I thought to myself Why do I have to relive that every, day. I hated ObiWan, I hated my master, I am just an evil person now."
"I don't think you are completly without hope," came the voice that had been tormenting me for 20 years.
"I am evil, I am a Sith!" I shouted back to him.
"If that is the case then why would a sith do everything in his power to get to the one he loved? If that is the case would a Sith have asked, if she was alright first?" he answered back
"Silence!" I shouted.
I then headed to my quarters to test this Leia Organa.
As I entered there were 5 troopers guarding her. She was in binders.
"Take a blood sample and bring it to me," I told the storm trooper.
In a moment the trooper brought it to him. I entered it into my computer and waited a few minutes. Then the computer beeped telling me that midiclorine count was complete. I was astonished at what I read.
