Authors notes I don't own star wars George Lucas does. I want to thank my betas Half Jaw and LordRevanMandaloreofZutara for helping me write this fanfic. And i'm dedicating this fanfic to the victums of the Haiti earthquake.
This fanfic is AU after episode 3 so in this the original trilogy never happened and this fic is a sequel to my other Star Wars fic A Forbidden Love, if havent read that fic read it now.
Imperial dropship
As Lord Vader gazed out at the Mandalorian ship he was surprised at its size. If the scanners were correct, and they had better be since this is his own dropship, then the Mandalorian capital ship is over four times the size of a Super Star Destroyer. He knew that whatever the emperor had here was important to the survival of the Galactic Empire.
The dropship then entered the hanger bay and walked onto the Mandalorian ship. Steam hisses out of the vents as the gangway opens. Lord Vader exits the drop ship. As he makes his way down the gangplank, an honour guard lead by General Bates who says "Follow me please Lord Vader and I will show you Project Force". The officer's tone is respectful, but a tremor in the Force warns Vader that something is not right.
As Vader was led to the research labs he noticed a lot of storm troopers on guard around the research labs. He then entered the lab and it was then that Vader saw project force for the first time.
He saw imperial scientists looking over two men in stasis pods being infused with compound 77.
Vader then said "This is project force. Two men and a single compound, I'm starting to think this project wasn't a good idea General Bates".
The General replied "This project Lord Vader is more important than you know" Vader replied "How is this more important than I know, is there something you are not telling me General?".
The General then led Vader to his office and once the doors were closed Bates said "I can't tell you Lord Vader, I'm sorry that's classified information, Emperors orders".
Vader said "I am Darth Vader and I order you to tell me what this project is now!".
General Bates then replied "I am sorry my Lord, I would tell you but the Emperor himself, ordered me not to tell you anything about the project besides what I have shown you".
Suddenly a red light started flashing with alarms and an automated computer voice saying 'Code red, code red, this is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill'.
The General's com then had the voice of a storm trooper's voice "Sir, they escaped, the scientists are all de-". The signal was then cut off and blaster fire was heard along with soldier's screams.
The office door burst open and a squad of storm troopers entered the room.
The leader stepped forward and said "Lord Vader, General Bates, we have to get you out of here immediately, please follow us".
The storm troopers then ran down the corridors with Vader and the General.
As they ran they saw a horrific sight.
Blood was all over the walls. One soldier signalled the others to stop when they got to an intersection. One soldier approached a nearby dead body and examined it.
The soldier finished his examination and said with fear in his voice "He was torn to pieces in mere seconds'. The soldier held up the gun and when he examined the ammo the soldier had he continued by saying "He didn't even get a single shot off".
Vader then grabbed the General roughly by the neck and said in a cold tone of voice "What the in hell are you working on here General! Tell me now!".
The General didn't even respond so scared his skin was pale as a ghost.
Suddenly Vader got a cold chill down his spine and for the first time in many years Darth Vader the Lord of the Sith was afraid.
Vader then said in a low tone of voice "I think we should move on, quickly".
The group quickly continued on unaware of what was following them.
The group quickly got to the escape pod area and saw not a single escape pod had been launched.
The soldiers then took defensive positions as Vader got one escape pod ready for launch.
Two soldiers then spotted two figures move towards them slowly and clearly not imperials.
One storm trooper then yelled "Hurry up, my Lord you and the General get out of here! Now, men its time to earn our pay, open fire!!".
The storm troopers opened fire on the two figures who just kept moving forward as if the blaster bolts didn't even touch them at all.
General Bate's rushed to get to the escape pod but as he got on Vader pushed him out of the pod using the force and Vader then closed the escape pod door and launched it into space.
The last thing Vader could see on the ship was General Bate's banging on the window as he imploded and Bate's blood was splattered all over the window.
The storm troopers in the room were suddenly killed when the two figures appeared right in front of them and laughed at them.
A few hours later Imperial palace Coruscant
Darth Vader walked into the room and said "My Master, project force has failed, they escaped".
The Emperor was silent for a few minutes and said "Did you manage to kill them, Lord Vader?".
Vader only replied "No my Master, what shall we do"
The Emperor only said four words "Send in alpha squad".
Vader bowed and replied "Yes my Master".
Chanso armoury
The armoury was covered in blood when the door opened and two figures stepped into the room and approached a blast door and the figure on the left said 'Now brother, let us see gifts our good friend the Emperor left us'. the figure on the right on grunted in response and they placed their hands on separate panels and the blast door opened revealing several objects on two different pedestals each with a different coloured light shining on them.
The one on the left picked up the pieces a suit of armour that had a white colour emerge from the chest plate. While the man on the right put on two gauntlets and suddenly three lightsabers came out of the gauntlets in black.
The man on the left then turned to the other man and said calmly "These new weapons, will help us greatly against our foes". The man on the right only growled in reply and the two men left the room and headed towards the bridge.
