Best Chapter I ever had the time to write. I loved writing this. Wait for the next chapter to finally see the fight. I know it's a cliffhanger
Vader asks a few of his elite men to follow him. They obey with no hesitation, exactly like they were in the Clone Wars. Vader remembered quite a few fights with his clones, especially Captain Rex, his best friend, his second-in-command.
But never mind, Vader turned toward his enemy and started walking. After leaving the trench, a small breeze caused his cloak to fly behind him. He ordered his clones to fire at 2 soldiers killing them at once. 2 more popped their heads up, just as quickly, Vader ordered his clones to fire, killing off another 2.
Near the middle of the field, about 20 troops got up and tried to fire. This time, Vader took the fight into his own hands and created a force barrier to shield him and the clones.
The minute the barrage was done, Vader lifted the barrier and force gripped about half the troops and choked them to death and pushed them onto their comrades killing them both.
Vader continued walking through the field losing only one clone, an idiot who could not tell the difference between an incoming blast and firing blast. Eventually, he was able to get to the other trench.
The minute he entered, he was met with barrage after barrage of blaster fire. Using tutaminis, he absorbed them all and immediately force pushed them so hard, he killed a dozen of them.
Grabbing one of them by the neck, he asked, "Where is the Jedi?"
"I'll never tell you damn imperials anything," he croaked, using all of his energy.
Vader crushed him without a single thought. He walked forward into the bunker of the trench and found a group of children there.
Vader asked, still angry at the rebel's refusal, "Where is the Jedi? Answer me! NOW!"
The oldest one there, perhaps 10 or 11, scared, said, "He's up at Rothpak, and he's the one who leading the fighting."
Vader said nothing and turned around walking out of the bunker and into the battle once again. His 501st legion was quickly able to subdue of the troops at this trench. He declared victory in this battle and sent the children to a Coruscant juvenile detention center.
Vader made his way through the rest of the fighting, with the battle of Bothyon, the battle of Ropno, and the battle of Yotko. All being imperial victories, and all of it is within a week of being on Ithor. He was now preparing for the final assault on Rothpak, the capital of the tiny rebellion. The clone commanders estimated, through its spies, that there were about 500-600 rebels in the town. The empire had about 7,000 troops mobilized for the rebellion. There were also about 400 aircraft in comparison to the rebels' 100. All was set for the siege of Rothpak.
The siege began the next morning with imperial victories across the battlefield. Vader saw that the rebels were being crushed and finally walked into the town. He had only entered the official government building for about 10 seconds when he was suddenly blindsided by an elbow to his back.
Suddenly, Vader heard a lightsaber hum. He turned around and saw a young man in Jedi robes standing before him.
"So, you are the one who leads this little fight," says Vader.
"What if I am?" asks the Jedi.
"You are breaking imperial laws."
"Why should I care?"
"Either surrender now or you will be killed."
"I will never surrender to you, Sith Lord."
"Then… you have to die."
The Jedi rushed at him, and the true fight finally begins.
Vader, in order to prove his worth.
And the Jedi, in order to survive another night.
