A/N: green writer ;(
In the beginning all ways led to the volcanic planet Mustafar. The history was well-known, however great Jedi Masters like to say: „The future is always in motion".
Obi-wan Kenobi beat Anakin Skywalker-Darth Vader, but before the fire had a chance to burn lungs and the skin of the unrealized winner, he was saved by an unknown man. Using hardly survived dates from Mustafar's computers, the stranger succeeded in contacting the Confederacy. In exchange for the asylum, he promised to help them in the war, and also asked to be called with the name of Republic's the most threatening enemy - Sidious.
Vader didn't trust his savior. The mysterious man, to protect himself from young Sith's anger, forced him to take an unheard substance, which unable connecting with the Force. Nevertheless, Vader managed to run away and join the Empire.
Later, Emperor Palpatine, conscious of Confederacy's growing strength, decided to meet with the mysterious commander.

I will not leave you. I will not leave you.
The young Lord Sith, Darth Vader blinked, forcing himself to concentrate on a current situation. From his escape passed a long time, nonetheless Lord could not forget the face of the stranger. Soon (except of last days' nightmares, when he betrayed and killed all inhabitants of Jedi Temple), the words appeared, pronounced with the voice of false Sidious. Vader's present master irritated the fact itself that somebody is carrying his secret name, the young Lord - amused.
Padme.
Vadera squeezed anger at the very thought about the wife and their unborn child. Before the memorable battle on Mustafar, he was haunted by the vision of Padme's death, none of friends and Jedi could help him, only the Emperor showed young Lord the power to oppose the death; in exchange for the life of his wife, young Sith promised to serve him and kill all innocent inhabitants in the temple. Vader fulfilled the assignment, but Padme did not support his act, what worse – she joined Obi-wan. In the result, he lost her and the child. Palpatine did not know where they were or made him to believe that they did not survive. But Darth Vader knew the truth - the mysterious man kidnapped and imprisoned his family.
On Mustafar, Obi-wan nearly killed him, but a second before the Kenobi's fatal blow could end his life - HE emerged. The last thing the Lord remembered, was the moment, when the stranger backhanded Kenobi so strongly that Jedi immediately lost his conscious. Later, the unknown man, deprived him from the Force (they did not even succeed to determine the depot of the unusual substance, because when Sith came back to Coruscant, it had already left his body). What was the worst, the stranger knew all about Sith's hidden marriage, the off-spring and much more. The Lord perfectly remembered the first question which appeared during his conversation with false Sidious: am I speaking with Anakin, or with...Vader?
The consciousness of the insult caused the next flow of hatred, false Sidious should not have given back him hands, knowing that they would quickly crush his throat.
The future was clear. Each day was giving young Sith the certainty of his choice, as well as with every day grew his power into the dark side.
The elevator stopped on level of the landing ground and tore out Vader from his thoughts.
The sector, which was called "Robots" on Coruscant, was an excellent hiding-place. On the outside, is showed an abandoned storehouse, but inside all pulsated with life, and at the same time with the darkness. Darth Vader related the district with Sith's soul.
But why Palpatine ordered him to come here? After all, Galaxy belonged to them, they did not have to hide any longer. Good-natured Jedi were beaten, he alone took care of them. Only a few roamed the Galaxy.
The door opened with a quiet hiss and young Lord Vader could not believe his eyes.
Next to, clad in a rich gown, Emperor and a big shuttle, stood the man from Mustafar. The fact that the usurper could hide his presence from Vader's power, pushed Sith into even greater rage.
The Lord reacted with a lightspeed, only several inches divided him from a false Sidious's throat, when suddenly he lifted, throw away and soon found himself hitting hangar's wall.
- Stay there. - Palpatine hissed angrily.
-Yes, Master. - he said reluctantly.
- It's he. - said hooded stranger to Palpatine.
- After hearing your proposition the price occurred itself. – Emperor answered dryly.
- The half of Confederacy's fleet will compensate it.
- What is happening, Master?- asked Vader standing up from the floor.
- After all, you have foreseen this. - said the stranger sarcastically. - I do not like, when my time is being wasted… inviting here and arranging this semi real exchange.
- What exchange? - asked Vader.
