Flashback: Luke cried out as his father released his shield and Luke shortly fell to the floor and watched helplessly while his father and the Emperor battled. He pulled in the Force around himself, and even though he was still learning, his fear of losing his father, again gave him the fuel and the desire to punish this evil man.
Luke didn't know where it had come from he saw a spare lightsaber flung to him thorough the Force. He called it to his hand and it fit like a glove the red beam shot forward and through much guile and cunning he flung it at the Emperor's back and watched gleefully as it arced and spun through the air decapitating the Emperor. Lord Vader rushed over to his son and lifted him high in the air. "Thank you my son, I am very proud of you, my boy. You are a natural."
Luke flung his arms around his father's neck and knew that no matter what this galaxy would throw at them, they would get through it together, like Father and Son.
Lord Vader sensed a group of red guards quickly approaching the throne room and hid his son in a dark alcove. "Stay here and do not interfere, understand?"
"Yes." Luke responding feeling his father's rage and even a hint of fear for not only Luke's safety as well as challenges to his newfound authority as not only the Sith Master but also as Emperor. Despite Lord Vader still wearing his armor, Luke could almost see his father's eyes turning yellow and red with the dark side flowing through his veins.
"Lord Vader, is everything alright?" Mas Amedda inquired, noting the remnants of the Emperor's cloak on the floor and his body missing its head. Then he screamed, "Guards! Emperor Palpatine is murdered!" Mas Amedda yelled as a five Red Guards approached to find Lord Vader sitting in Emperor's throne.
"Milord?"
"Kneel and pledge your allegiance to me, your new Emperor."
The Red Guard decided not to have anything to do with what they perceived to be a usurper on the Emperor's throne. They met with swift ends as Lord Vader activated his lightsaber and fought five of them simultaneously as Mas Amedda cowered in fear as the Dark Lord of the Sith swiftly killed them.
"Mas Amedda, you will inform the late Palpatine's Advisors that I will speak to them at once. Do not disappoint me, or you too will find death to be slow and excruciating."
"Yes, Milord." Mas Amedda stood to his feet and suddenly became airborne, crashed near the double doors, and nearly unable to breathe as he clutched at his throat, as he watched Lord Vader stalked him near the double doors.
"Milord? Is that what you called me?" Lord Vader asked exasperated as he stalked forward to the cowering man.
"Please forgive me, my Emperor." The Chagrian pleaded as he watched the Dark Lord of the Sith activate his lightsaber and soft red glow wavered closer to Mas Amedda's head.
"Please, my Emperor, I didn't mean to insult you, please let me make it up to you." Mas Amedda held up his hands trying desperately to stop the lightsaber from ending his life. "You are most lucky that I have use of you or you would be paying for your ignorance with your life. However, I think this will be enough to remember who I am." Lord Vader neatly sliced through the top lethorn as Mas Amedda cried out in great anguish and pain.
"Get out and get the inner circle in here do not delay!" Lord Vader kicked the lethorn through the doorway as Mas Amedda stood to his feet and ran from the throne room. The fear that hurried his walk from the throne room was very delicious.
Once Luke and Lord Vader were alone, a squad of his 501st to arrive on planet and Commander Bow to lead the resistant senators into the throne room. Once the former's Emperor's body removed, the Inner Circle and a group of senator's including most especially Senator Bail Organa and his daughter, Princess Leia Organa.
Luke redressed in a more formal set of black Jedi youngling's robes and stood proudly by his father. Although he knew that there would be some slaying in order for his father to maintain his power and keep the locals in line, he couldn't help but to feel that this was wrong. Maybe he didn't understand why such sacrifices had to be made. His father seemed to enjoy feeding off the fear that the others so eagerly provided.
"Sometimes, my son, sacrifices are necessary, you will understand this as your training continues. These people are below both of us, they long for a strong leader and one who isn't afraid to use force to keep the locals in line."
Lord Vader removed his old armor and set it on the pedestal beside the throne. He dressed in his Jedi Robes made of Nanosilk as well except that they sewn with blood red thread and the fabrics were more exquisite.
"Do you think that Mas Amedda will ever forget this lesson; to pay heed to my rule?"
"No, father, he won't." Luke admitted.
"That's right and neither will the others he will tell, especially those of the inner circle."
Grand Vizier Sate Prestage stormed into the throne room, demanding to see Emperor Palpatine, Lord Vader stood to his full height and glared at the Grand Vizier, who had the audacity to dismiss Lord Vader.
"You have overstepped your boundaries, Grand Vizier Prestage; I recommend that you kneel before me."
"Never will it happen, Vader. Do you hear me, NEVER!"
"Too bad, I'd rather have you on my side." Lord Vader slowly lifted the soon to be deceased Grand Vizier in mid-air and held him as he continued to Force-Choke him, slowly. Luke watched as the man's face turned blue and his eyes grew larger like a huge bug. "Please, forgive me. I . . ." Grand Vizier Sate Prestage uttered before expiring. Sate struggled to breathe and realized far too late that he shouldn't have dismissed the Sith Lord as quickly as he did. The Grand Vizier's body thrown aside as Lord Vader felt the glowing presence of Mas Amedda and others of the inner circle approaching.
Mas Amedda faced the closed doors and unsure whether he should knock on the obsidian doors when they suddenly swung open, inviting the inner circle into the throne room. Ars Dangor a tall, sinewy man that stood his thin form hidden beneath flowing dark blue robes and a tall hat; recognized the very familiar mask and armor of Darth Vader on a pedestal and the former mechanized Sith Lord sitting on the Emperor's Throne. It didn't take him long to kneel in homage, he saw and heard what the same Dark Lord had done to Mas Amedda, and had no wish to anger the seemingly younger Sith Lord. He was the second in command of the inner circle and as each member entered the darkened Throne room, each of the former Emperor's loyal, fanatical servants knelt in homage and in fear. Lord Vader deeply drank in each of the men's terror and allowed himself to enjoy the moment.
"Rise, my servants." The Dark Lord stated in a malevolent voice that exuded power and dark influence.
