Invasion of Coruscaunt
Chapter 1
Swoosh! It was the humming sound of a swoop bike racing through the city at top speed. It was night like all other nights: heavy traffic, noisy engines, glaring lights. The Coruscaunt air was scented with the fume of exhaust pipes and ion engines also. If only he could smell the fumes. Scent, It was one of the many possessions he lost for his life. Life…was he even a human? Was he really alive? He didn't know the full truth. He didn't know a lot of things his master had done to him on that fateful day. The day that he was defeated, but also the day that he was reborn again.
Darth Vader's swoop bike glided through the air. His black cape was flowing through the wind. Escorting him were two stormtroopers each with black markings on their white helmets and body armor. They were advanced clones trained through some of the toughest facilities in the galaxy. The Galactic Empire's army of clones was a force to be reckoned with. The clones were far superior to anything else in the galaxy and weren't too costly.
Vader slowed his swoop bike until it was at a steady cruise. He maneuvered his bike into the Jedi Temple's docking bay and landed it with considerable care. His master, Sidious, had preserved the monument for reasons beyond him. Maybe he kept it as a remembering of a galactic order that stood for over a thousand years or maybe it served as an encyclopedia into the past. Vader lifted his leg out of the swoop bike and headed into the old temple. Vader walked past countless ancient statues and he pondered why his master had wanted too meet him here. What was so important that he had to meet his master at this place of all places?
The former Jedi walked into the turbo lift of the temple and started his way to the roof of the temple where he would meet Sidious. He exited the lift and he stared at the beauty and magnificence of the Coruscaunt skylight. There were star destroyers and capital ships standing guard in the night sky with their huge shape that brought fear to Coruscaunt. By the edge of the roof was the shape of his master. Vader looked at him as if he was cold and frightening but after all this was the man that saved his life.
"Lord Vader?" the cold figure that was his master said.
"Yes master?"
"I am glad you could make it. I have felt a disturbance in the force."
"I have felt it too Master. I believe that Coruscaunt may be in danger."
"Of what? The pitiful rebels?"
"Yes Master. There fleet has grown in size since Hoth. It is only a matter of time until they attack. And Skywalker he is also growing in the force."
"Yes I believe you are correct Lord Vader…the Rebel Fleet might be closer than expected."
A few kilometers off in the distance one of the star destroyers on post burst into oblivion sending flaming scrapes of metal to the planet's surface. Vader watched as lights and sirens went off all around him in the Coruscaunt city scape."
"The Rebels have come sooner than expected Lord Vader. I suggest you prepare for battle."
