Making a Lightsaber

Chapter One

Lord Darth Vader looked out of the window of his Star Destroyer. He mentally smiled realizing that the Jedi would pay for all they had done to him. The Emperor had recently started construction of these new and deadly ships for the new order. Walking away from the main window on the bridge he started to walk to his chambers. His Emperor had wished for him to send him a report on the progress on the extermination of the Jedi Knights. It had become a tiring task searching through nearly the entire galaxy for the Jedi but he knew they were no match for the Dark Side of the force.

The only other thing on his mind was his next possible rival Xizor, the Dark Prince and Underlord of Black Sun. Xizor was a Falleen, a species who was reptilian in ancestry. The Dark Prince was also one of the few people that could even rival the influence that the Emperor and Lord Vader himself possessed. He was a constant annoyance that Vader could not take care of personally without facing the Empeor's disapproval. The Emperor often made him and Xizor compete against each other for his favor. Something the Sith Lord hated.

Out of nowhere a man dressed in an Admiral's uniform bumped into him. The officer looked up fearfully at the Sith Lord and started shaking very visibly. Vader disliked anyone who failed him and the man before him had done so several times in the past. The Sith Lord knew he had a terrible temper whenever someone failed him. Moving his right hand forward he grabbed the officer by the throat. When the Emperor had given Vader command of the Imperial Fleet he was also given the powers to promote and demote officers. All the officers around them stopped then quickly got back to what they were doing.

"If the Emperor wasn't on the comlink then you would dead…" he said coldly.

With that he pushed the officer forward and continued to his chambers. He had no time to deal with these fools and had an assignment to complete. Even though he didn't take failures lightly, his duty was more important then correcting mistakes.

As he entered his chambers he saw the hologram in the center of the room. The Sith Lord went down and rested on his right knee looking up at the image of Emperor Palpatine. The ruler was wearing a dark cloak and his skin was badly damaged with many scars. A result of the duel between him and a Jedi Master.

"What is thy bidding my master?" he asked.

"Your task has gone well I see, but there is something more important for you to do now. It doesn't require you to hunt any Jedi Knights but you will find this task most interesting."

"What do you mean?" Vader asked, puzzled. He stared at the hologram trying to sense his master intent, but only failed.

"Turn your fleet around and come back to Coruscant. I shall be waiting for you in my chambers."

With that the link ended before he could respond.

Vader unhooked his lightsaber that he had carried with him for the past week. The saber was metallic colored and had a few knobs on the top to change the length of the blade if it became necessary. His original lightsaber with the red blade had been badly damaged in a duel with another Jedi very recently so he had been forced to build a temporary replacement until he could make another Sith Lightsaber back on Coruscant. Pushing a button it ignited and a blue blade appeared before him. It was a color that was used by the Jedi. There was a low hum and a bluish glow in the dark room. Vader twirled the blade to his side and then he returned to a dueling stance. Turning the ancient weapon off he walked out of his mediating chambers. His master's ability too see into the future had restored the Sith to power. The emperor now wanted him to do something and he would do it.

The streets of Coruscant were filled with lots of guards. This was mainly since the Emperor had decided they would be needed. Vader walked to the Imperial Palace alone unescorted. He preferred not to have any bodyguards at all. It was cowardly to hide behind a man and he would have rather fought his enemies alone. The complete destruction of the Jedi order was such a waste. Yet he knew that it had to be done for the good of the Empire.

Walking out of the elevator he noticed the Royal Guards by his side. They were considered the best of the best, yet he considered battling one to test their skills. Even though he was a powerful Sith he did not underestimate his enemies. The Emperor's throne room was one of the greatest chambers in the galaxy. The Emperor himself sat on a simple chair waiting for him in the middle room. He had a grin on his face that made even Vader shudder.

"What is it that you want me to do?" Vader asked, without a hint of emotion in his voice.

Suddenly a small girl about the age of six walked out from behind the emperor's chair. She had red golden hair that was unusually short for a girl her age. It was untidy but also in a unique style. The girl had green eyes which matched the color of her dress. There was an innocent expression on her face that suddenly reminded him of himself when he was a child. She was very cute. Amazingly the force was very strong in her; it would be very easy to corrupt her to the dark side if necessary. Why would a small girl be here in the Emperor's throne room? There had to be a reason why she was here.

"I see that you are curious about the identity of this girl…" smiled Palpatine.

"Yes…"

"I will have to leave the planet for a few days to conduct some personal business..." He started.

Vader knew what his master was talking about. He was referring to the new cloning facilities that was being constructed at the secret location. The Sith Lord had spies that were among the best in the galaxy, they rivaled that of Black Sun's. Yet he had never revealed this to his master.

"I want you to do this small task." Continued the Emperor. "Look after my Hand… I mean this young one for the duration that I am gone. You see you are the only one that I completely trust at this time."

Darth Vader was shocked. How could the Emperor ask this from him, it was inconceivable! Why would he ask a Sith Lord to baby-sit? Before he could say anything his master got up and walked to the elevator. Before he left he said one last thing.

"Oh and make sure she doesn't get into any trouble my friend…"

With his last words the Emperor was gone and along with the Royal guards, Vader was left alone with the little girl. He had no idea what to do next.
