Star Wars: The Fall
Prologue
Darkness. If it can even be called that. Total nothingness with no end in sight. Voices whispering from all angles. Some words were able to be made out. The rest, a constant, frustrating mumble to drive anyone mad. A tiny crack of light allows a small sliver of hope. A tiny boy, no older than 4 or 5, crawls as quickly as possible to freedom. His tiny hands pound of the slab floor, which soon changes to a coarse grainy substance. With strength and willpower, the child starts a run, little legs moving like a blur. Sand kicks in the air and a soft, clear voice calls out.
"I'm Padme"
The boy tumbles, crashing hard onto the…hard floor? Beautiful, ceramic tile sat surrounded by large glass windows while 12 chairs made out the edge of the room, each occupied by shadows. The boy stands, a little taller than he was before. One of the shadows, one with a long head, cleared his throat.
"Your thoughts dwell on your mother"
The floor opens up and the child falls and falls, ending up in a small hut where the sand returned. A fire crackles in the center of the hut. A silhouette of a woman is cast on the wall, long hair pulled up in a bun.
"Annie…so proud… I missed you so much… I love you."
The fire bursts and what was once a child, is now a young adult, much taller and a more prominent tan. This man feels an emotion taking over, vision turning red with anger. The opening to the hut is ripped open and it shows a large room, a room with a view so grand, it's saved for powerful people. The building stood so high that the ground could not be seen. The gorgeous view was interrupted when the glass shattered and a yell echoed, then slowly faded away.
"Rise Lord Vader"
A terrifying, gravelly voice laughed. As the horrible sound continued the scenery once again shifted. Bright red and orange took shape as either waterfalls or rivers. Large mounds of molten rock stacked in various sizes. Large metal machinery that transported materials worked nonstop.
"Anakin…what have you done"
Emotions swirled into one uncountable inferno. Two figures stood facing one another, each daring the other to make the first move. What was once a tiny part of the man's mind, had grown to consume everything. Instead of watching from the outside, like it had done for twenty years, it had total control. The dark side. The men clashed with blinding speed, jumping and swinging with more power and control then 99 percent of the galaxies population could imagine. The machinery had become a battleground, cables being used as jousting ropes. Until it all collapsed. The metal poured into the flowing lava as the war raged on, down the river, the action hardly even slowing.
"You were my brother Anakin. I loved you"
Everything faded away until the darkness took over completely. Red lenses covered the man's eyes like a machine. Slowly multiple droids and equipment pieces came into view. A hooded man, now completely visible with a wrinkly face, stood off to the side.
"It seems, in your anger, you killed her."
Fury. Hatred. Crippling despair. Three incredibly powerful emotions caused heartache. All previous memories, those looked upon fondly and with love, vanished. Instead, all that could be seen, even though of was a thirst for revenge. And a lust for power.
