As I stare out into the viewport of the star destroyer I think back to all that has happened since my turn to the dark side.
I feel the hatred that the dark side thrives on coursing through me but it is not at my enemies. I feel the self-hatred gnawing at my insides.
I see the construction of The Death Star my "Master" has ordered to be built. The thing is a abomination to everything in the universe and creation. I can't help but feel disgust and anger at such a thing that is suppose to to rival the Force in power and I do not care to shield my feelings from Sidieous.
He thinks that since he put me in this force forsaken suit that I will be the perfect obedient little dog to serve his idle whims with no say so whatsoever. But he has another thingcoming. I will be no dog to anybody! I do have my regrets though. My first regret ever that will live with me for the rest of my life is killing my Angel.
"Padme if your watching me please forgive me for what I've done to you and our child. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you when you were trying nothing but to love me with yourheart." Vader thinks to himself as he walks away from the construction site and back to his chambers. As he walks by, the Imperial Officers and Clones stop and acknowledge him with a salute and a "Lord Vader" before departing on to their business. Vader ignores them as he is too in thought of his own mind.
His body still not having adjusted to the suit properly so he was off balance as he strode to his quarters and to his Hyperbaric Chamber, the only place he could take his mask off and feel normal again. As the machine took off his mask he went into deep thought about the last 24 hrs since his operation. "Obi-Wan" Vader thought with no trace of anger or resentment towards his former Master more of annoyance and anger at himself. "He had the high ground and warned me but I was too blind by anger and betrayal in that fight to think clearly." Unlike most Sith who liked to blame everything little misconduct on someone else, Vader saw the truth and consequences his actions brought him and he took them. He would not just be a instrument in someones gain or plan.
If he was gonna be a Sith Lord he was gonna be a respected one not by fear but by the power he would exert. The Jedi he killed that day were great warriors that had lost their way. They were weak, to weak to notice a Sith Lord under there noses and too weak to stop the Clone Troopers from slaughtering them. But Vader himself had a part in that a part he would not deny. His concentration was cut short when his com link rung signaling a message from Admiral Ozzle.
Vader accepted the call and the Admirals voice echoed on the walls of the chamber. "Lord Vader his Magesty sends for you to meet him in his throne room." Ozzle relayed then waited for the Sith Lord's answer. "Tell The Emperor I'm On My Way" he responded back with restrained disgust in his voice. He signaled the machine to put his mask back on and made his way towards Palpatine's Throne Room. Once he stepped through the door he was met with the wrinkled pale face of The Emperor of the galaxy sitting on his throne room looking smug. "Master" Vader said with barely controlled sarcasm in his voice. Sideous sensed this and stood up and without word sent a blast of force lightning at Vader.
Vader's quick battle reflexes took over and he had his lightsaber up in a flash blocking the current of electricity. Once Sideous saw this he cancelled the current and stood defiantly at Vader. "Your skills are still up to par my apprentice even after your fight with Kenobi I see." Vader deactivated his lightsaber and replied saying "Maybe your just becoming weak in you old age Master" Vader replied back defiantly to Sideous. "Do not take that tone with me Lord Vader. If it weren't for me you would have still been a pawn of the Jedi's Game fighting for a dying government that was holding back the true peace for it's own selfish reasons."
"You mean the fight you orchestrated so that you could come out on top? The same fight that you played both ways to secure your reign? I may have joined the dark side and have committed crimes that will stay with me for the rest of my life so that you would help me, but that doesn't mean I'm anyones pawn not to the Jedi and certainly not you Master" Vader said with venom dripping from every word. Sideous with a rage lunged at Vader Lightsaber ignited in hand clashing with Vader's own lightsaber in a furry of sparks. Sideous and Vader locked up when Sideous in fear and wonder said "How is it possible for you to keep up with me? Those injuries and suit alone should have crippled your power and speed in half".
Vader, gaining the upper hand replied saying, "The force will always be with me be it the dark or the light side. These injuries are nothing but a slight setback to my strength and power, let me show you". As Vader said this he pushed Sideous back and with a feat that should have not been possible he corkscrew flipped behind Sideous and with massive strength threw him towards the throne chair causing the emperor to topple over his own seat of power. As Sideous recovered he looked up to see his own red light saber in the hands of Vader and in a sense of de-ja-vu found himself trapped between the two blades in a fashion he saw his old apprentice Count Dooku in. As he looked on in fear Vader replied saying "I'm not gonna kill you Sideous as much as I would like to, your reign is the only thing right now keeping the Senate and Governors in line."
Vader said as he deactivated the lightsabers and throwing both away from him in disgust all the while thinking"I need a new lightsaber the color just doesn't suit me. Blue was always what I was familiar with and Padme always said I was the most intimidating with it since the color made my eyes flame and seemed to make me even more dangerous. To hell with how the old Sith ran I'm doing things my way from now on. Vader then looked back at Sideous and continued saying" But remember this Sideous, while Darth Vader is what I will be named in public I am Anakin Skywalker reborn through the flames of Mustafar. "I will work with you but I will never work for you! He then turned away and left the throne room heading for his personal star fighter and as he pulled off the coordinates said one thing,
KAMINO.
So tell me what you think of this twist on the original saga. Now I know some of you are questioning the plot so here it is. Vader is going to be a little more badass than he was in the original movies. He doesn't take shit from anyone not even the Emperor and he will mostly work alone. Plus I'm gonna put a twist that'll surprise people for when Luke and Leia come in. So review comment and May The Force Be With You!
