Dark Padmé and Suit less Vader/ Anakin
They are both 24
They did not meet until recently.
AN:I am still writing A New Destiny, but I wanted to give this story a chance to see if people would like it.
Chancellor Palpatine stood in facing the large panned windows of his office, marveling at the cityscape before him.
Soon it will be the Empire…. soon.
Drawing out of his thoughts, the secret Sith Lord straightens his stance, letting the dark side fuel with in him.
The door to his office opened with a hiss and he felt the presents of a familiar senator. Standing upright beside him, Senator Padmé Amidala mirrored his stance.
He was the first to speak.
"How many have been bribed?"
"Not nearly as many as we thought. You would think with our crippling war, our crumbling government, corrupted politicians should be easy to come by."
"Patience, Padmé." He said in a wise manner, sensing the Senator's restlessness. "All good things come to those who wait with patience and a focused mind."
Padmé chuckled with contempt, "Taking something out of the Jedi teachings Uncle? Maybe your seat as Supreme Chancellor all those years has made you soft, and dare I say, democratic?"
Palpatine shook his head very slowly. "Share your opinion if you must. But we still have work that needs to be done in consideration to the Empire."
"Of course." Padmé frowned. "What about Grievous? I have not heard anything from him since your kidnapping."
"He is laying low for the time being, the matter does not concern you." said Palpatine. "Instead focus on your task."
"Yes, Chancellor." Said the Nubian Senator a bit crossly
"Do I detect some distaste Senator" said the Chancellor as he glanced over at his niece.
"You know how I feel about the Jedi" Padmé replied with slight distain.
The Sith lord turned over away from the city scaped windows toward his desk and gestured for Padmé to follow.
"We been over this before Padmé..." with a bigger elevation in his voice "When we are finished with Skywalker he will be no more a Jedi then Dooku or Maul."
Padmé turned over to look at her uncle with a dark gleam in her brown eyes.
"I understand. You have trained my since I was six. I have been instrumental in every part of your plans. Shaped me into the perfect politician" Padmé continued in her dark voice "For all of I have done you promised me was revenge on the vary people who destroyed my family." Padmé's gazed at her uncle
"And dear niece you shall get your wish as soon as you finish your task. Anakin Skywalker is no ordinary Jedi…he had experienced life before the Jedi life. He has known attachment, passion, ambition, emotion everything the Jedi fear." Darth Sidious eyes turned a sickly yellow as he sat behind his desk "Your job is to get close to him, have him confide in you about his deepest desires and distress. Then dear you decide what you would do to see fit with him. Either way I will have the famed 'Chosen One' as my apprentice." He finished.
Padmé considered her next words. One side she knows that everyone wanted the famed Jedi knight and she was not blind to see how handsome he was from the few Holos she saw. Her uncle had also told her of his power.
But on the other hand the Jedi were brash, and unemotional. The young senator just hoped that she would be able have fun with this task as it progressed over the next few months. "I will make sure I complete my task." Padmé started "But when the time comes I want what was promised to me."
"I would expect nothing less from you my dear." Darth Sidious said sadistically
x-O-x
Padmé arrived late to her apartment mulling over her conversation with her uncle that day. She knew what was expected of her, but it did not mean she did have to like it.
Padmé knew from a young age not to test her uncle's orders. From the time he took her in.
It had been after her family had been slaughtered.
From that time on he put her in etiquette classes, gave her the best education Naboo had to offer, the best weapons training and of course lessons in the dark side of the force.
The young Nubian senator has a small grip on the force. She could levitate, mask her presents becoming a virtual ghost and occasionally had force visions. The force user has a Sith red lightsaber made; hidden. She was well trained in Form II Makashi, and Form IV Ataru.
For other aspects of the force, meditating was a strong point for her. She also had blaster training.
Padmé had become a true warrior with her words and her fists.
Padmé gazed at the sight of the Jedi temple with discontent. Then she closed her eyes thinking of the past.
The Naberrie's were considered to be a part of Naboo's' royalty with much of their family being involved in politics, public service, and refugee work for the lush planet.
This made them beloved by many but also targeted by some rouge groups within the galaxy. But no could have could have predicted what would happen to Naboo's most treasured family.
Padmé was not near the estate when it happened. Ruwee the patriarch of the family was stabbed in the back yard of the Naberrie estate. Sola the oldest of the siblings' only seven years old was stabbed in the neck with her stuffed Bantha clinched in her hands.
The worst was Jobal. She was doing her motherly and wifely duties preparing a nice meal for her family. She was also stabbed in the back through her heart and left draped over the sink in her kitchen.
There was little known about the incident though. The HoloNet reported the deaths of the beloved Naberries' as an accident. There was a state funeral for all the mourners to attend.
The Naboo Security Forces concluded that their deaths were brought out by rouge Jedi. But the truth is worse than anyone could ever image.
There was still the issue of the child. Padmé was five and quickly approaching her six life day. She was also said to be deceased along with the family.
Sero Illar - State name of Palpatine, older brother of Jobal took guardianship of the young girl. With his gift of foresight, he saw this child was going to be instrumental to his plan of bringing about the Empire and the down fall of the Jedi. He had to groom her into his protégée.
Someone to be instrumental in bring about the Empire.
Padmé was taken in by Palpatine, he knew she had tremendous potential and exceled in all her lessons. At the age of 8 the young prodigy joined 'Apprentice Legislators', and then later on became a Senatorial advisor. She was a part of the legislative youth program at 12, and then started a two-year mandate as supervisor of Theed.
From that she was elected Queen near her 14th lifeday. Partly because she scored so high on her education certificate, but for the most part it was her conviction with reform that won the people over.
The Trade Federation crisis had been a test for Padmé. A test to see how she would behave around the Jedi.
Padmé was able to conceal her presence in force around the Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. With a lot of control on her part. She was able to gain support among her Jedi friends during her the crises and later in the senate.
Her next task was setting up the no confidence vote for Chancellor Valorum in front of the senate. This propelled Padmé into the political spotlight for her young age.
From the time the crisis had end on Naboo; the plan had started to roll out into full effect. Palpatine was appointed Supreme Chancellor, Padmé had served her two terms (some of the best Naboo has scene) as queen and continued on as senator for Naboo.
Her passion for the people and the republic had earned her a lot of allies in the senate. The crafted image of the caring loving senator had been used to gain influence and subtly gain the power she needs to destroy the very people she hated the most.
During that time Palpatine had start patiently gaining influence though the senate with the clone wars and fumbling opposition to most of the different polices put into place. Having the clone army created and starting construction on new star destroyers. Along with being granted emergency powers in the senate.
While at the same time keeping his influence through Count Dooku furthering the separatist movement. At the same time dwindling the Jedi numbers.
Padmé being elected to the head of the loyalist committee is final piece to set the final phase of the plan in motion.
Padmé opened her eyes to the sound of loyal droid R2-D2 beeping with delight. She flashed him a smile and turned to face her window again.
Men have never been hard for her to come by. But she never found a man to conquer her and all her power. Sometimes she thinks she wants it.
But men to her are like the people, they will always be pawns ready to be sacrificed in a game for power. She will get Anakin to bend just like they all do. And the Jedi will burn along with temple by his hand.
This self-confident, graceful senator in coming months will be shaken to her soul. By what her kindred spirit in Anakin will bring to her heart and the galaxy, as the Empire will dawn upon them.
