Vader
Vader peered at the ground, lost in thought;
I'm so sorry Padme. I lost you.
The mechanical arm grasped his helmet and lowered it onto his head. The helmet pressurized, a low mechanical breath was taken. Vader still glared at the floor, his chair swiveled around to greet Lieutenant Sacho.
"My Lord, the Executor has come out of hyperspace, your shuttle is awaiting you. The ground forces are ready." Vader snapped out of his thought and met eyes with the Lieutenant.
"No, send my squadron- we will deal with the Jedi ourselves. Contact the Emperor; tell him that Master Vilrori has refused to communicate and he will be terminated."
"My Lord, you haven't even made contact with the Jedi, how can it refuse?"
"Do not fail me Lieutenant… I do not forgive easily." Vader reached out with the Force and gripped Sacho's neck, "I will kill you myself if you tell the Emperor anything different." Vader released his grip. Sacho picked his hat off the floor and scurried out of the room. Vader marched his way down to the hangar, Death Troopers lined the boarding ramp and filed in behind him. Vader sat and faced a Trooper, the soldier looked down in fear. The shuttle lifted off the ground and zoomed down to the planet's surface. The shuttle touched the ground softly, the troopers filed out from the shuttle, defending the ramp. A soft breeze swept through Vader's cape as he descended the ramp. Vader peered around him- a small village; women and children ran into their small huts. A Twi'Lek man approached the group and addressed Vader,
"Is there something you require from us?"
"There is a Jedi here, Master Fray Vilrori. Get out of our way." Vader pushed the Twi'Lek aside and walked further into the village. He felt a presence in the force, a small one- but one nonetheless.
"If you want the Jedi, you have to go through us!" The Twi'Lek man pulled a blaster, the other men surrounded Vader- armed with small blasters.
"Your bravery is noted- and foolish." Vader ignited his lightsaber, cutting into two men, he deflected fire back at another three, gripped another with the Force and sent him flying out of the village. One more, he backed himself up, firing repeated times at Vader- all of the shots deflected. Vader closed in and sliced the man's hand off and lifted him by the throat with his own hand. "Where is the Jedi?!" Vader squeezed harder, the man made a motion to one of the huts. "Your services are no longer required." Vader crushed the man's windpipe and dropped him on the ground. "Commander." He addressed the Death Trooper leader, "Surround the village, no one gets in or out- leave the Jedi to me."
"Yes my Lord- you heard him! Surround the perimeter of the village, double time!" Vader crushed the door to the hut with the force. A woman with silver hair draped in a braid sat in the middle of the hut, her lightsabers in front of her.
"Master Vilrori, the time has come- there is no escape." Vader ignited his lightsaber.
"There may not be an escape- but there is the Force." She opened her eyes, and met gaze with Vader. "You are lost Anakin." Vader felt his rage mounting, he force pushed the Jedi through the hut and into the center of town.
"Anakin Skywalker was weak- as are you. At today's end the both of you will finally be destroyed." Vilrori summoned her sabers to her hands, blue blades emerged from their hilts,
"Anakin is not dead- you have hidden him, he will live forever!" Vilrori lunged at Vader, they interlocked sabers. Vader pushed the Jedi over, she rebounded onto her feet, his swing was met with a deflection. The Jedi parried and leaped over Vader, he traced her movements and countered her attack from behind, sending a wave of force energy through her- sending her flying into a moisture vaporator.
"Your powers are weak. The Darkside is powerful!" Vader lashed at Vilrori's head, she ducked and cut Vader across the arm. "AGH!" Vader gripped his bicep, the smell of burnt flesh went through his suit. The two battled endlessly- exchanging blow after blow. Vilrori slashed at Vader's midsection, he countered and cut one of her lightsabers in two.
"If you defeat me- I will become more powerful than you could ever imagine." Vilrori readied herself for the oncoming attack.
"You fail to comprehend my understanding of true power- you are nothing Jedi; and you will amount to nothing." Vader swiftly moved, cut off both of Vilrori's hands and shunted her to the ground. "I sense another- where is the other Jedi?" Vader pointed the tip of his saber at Vilrori's throat.
"I will never tell you! He's long gone from here Vader, I sent him away. You will never find him."
"Watch me." Vader sliced Vilrori's head clean off, singed remnants of her veins and muscles poked through the cut. "Commander, ready the speeders; we're going into town."
"Yes my Lord." The Trooper jogged over to the shuttle,
"Lieutenant, send the TIE Bombers down upon this village- I want it destroyed." Vader relayed over comms.
"It will be done Lord Vader." Sacho responded. Vader mounted a speeder bike and rode to a small town.
"Scour the town- lock down all spaceports and if you find the Jedi: bring him to me." Vader motioned his troopers off. The residents cowered in sight of the Dark Lord of the Sith, a clearing of people emerged- there stood a hooded figure. Vader recognized him, "Master Vos- I presumed you dead." Vader unbuckled his lightsaber.
"You know me Anakin… And I know you- you're in there somewhere. I know it! Come back to the light-"
"The light is meaningless- the light is weak. Your friend gave her life for you Quinlan, are you prepared to die?" Vader ignited his lightsaber,
"Your terror shall end here Skywalker." Quinlan Vos threw down his cloak and ignited his lightsaber. The town people gazed in amazement of the force wielders.
"My name is not Skywalker." Vader threw himself at Quinlan, hacking and slashing at his face. Quinlan struggled to deflect Vader's onslaught. The flurry of red and green shined through the town, sparks crashed to the ground as the combatants raged on. Quinlan lunged at Vader's torso, Vader side stepped, and hacked at Quinlan's arm- chopping it off.
"AGH!" Quinlan gripped his stub.
"You are a failure to the Jedi-"
"YOU"RE THE FAILURE! You turned on us! Butchered your brothers and sisters! You… you killed younglings… you became the monster you swore to destroy." Quinlan's eyes filled with tears, "You failed the Jedi- and you will fail the Sith. Your legacy will be one of a failure. Strike me down- but I will never die. For there is no death- only the-" Vader sliced through Quinlan's chest, "Force." Quinlan Vos' body sprawled on the dirt ground.
"Leave the Jedi here- recover his weapon. And slaughter the villagers. No witnesses!" Vader sternly said to the Death Trooper Commander.
"Take aim! Fire!" The sounds of blaster fire rung through Vader's ears. The children ran- the blaster bolts were faster.
Anakin- I know you can hear me. Stop this, this is not you. Qui-Gon Jinn's voice sounded in Vader's head. Ani, please. Padme…
