Dark Now Father
A/N; 'ello 'ello. Sorry for the wait between updates and, in this case, new junk in general. I've been busy as of late, adapting to new crap in my life…Anywho, this is, obviously, a Star Wars poem, more specifically, a Darth Vader poem. So, read, press the new green button at the bottom, please and enjoy.

"Great shot, Skywalker!"
The garbled transmission that changed everything
I didn't know we were on the same frequency
We shouldn't have been
I should have been out of range
Spiraling away
Thrust out by the force of the blast
"Way to go Skywalker!"
There it is again
No mistaking it this time
My name
Or, my old one
Could it be?
Someone could have taken it
Unlikely
Unlikely to the point of absurdity
No one would take that name
"Great shot, kid,
That was one in a million!"
How often did I hear that?
After destroying a droid ship?
How often did I say that?
To my own padawan?
After we destroyed the Ion Cannon
Wait…
'Kid'?
How old is this…
New "Skywalker"?
Can't be more then twenty
That'd be the same age …
No!
He said I killed her
On that horrible day
All these years of hell
To find…
What?
A coincidence?
Nothing is coincidence
Qui-Gon?
Did he lie?
My "Master" of nearly two decades
An image of the boy--
Skywalker?-- appears
He is screaming as I strike down Kenobi
His rage, hot and sweet
Too soon tamed by Kenobi's presence in the Force
To sense that,
With little or no training…
He must be…
My son
Palpatine will pay

A/N; Yay! Another AN. Moving on. Explanations, should you need them:
- The title; the word "Vader" means "Father" in, I believe it's Danish, and "Darth" is "Dark" in some similar, possibly related language. So the title is a play on words; he was "Dark Father," but now he really is a Father, at least in his own mind
- The Padawan/Ion Cannon bit; No, I DO NOT MEAN STARKILLER. One of my friends was, like "Hey, is that that Starkiller dude from that game?" NO. Ok? Clear enough? It refers to Asoka Tano, Anakin's Padawan from the recent movie/show, The Clone Wars, as does the Ion Cannon thing. Episode three, to be precise.
Any other fuzzy areas will be posted as they are brought to my attention. Until then, may the Force be with you.
