Chapter 10: First Impressions

Vader was going to contact Sidious with a false update on his progress now as Traya had suggested. She had now told him the real location of the rebel base, Geonosis. All of Vader's previous information had been false. It was very useful to have someone who had recently been one with the force on his side.

He strode into the communication room on the Executer. Silently he entered Sidious's frequency and stood on the black pad awaiting the image of his master. It appeared quickly, Sidious looked as ugly as ever and somewhat frustrated today.

" Rise Lord Vader." He said. " Did you find the rebels?"

" No master, but we have evidence they are on Geonosis."

" Geonosis? Impossible, there is nothing there! That planet is as dead as Malachor V now. Lord Vader I am beginning to think you never knew where the rebels were in the first place after they fled Hoth."

" Master I had accurate evidence, it is just that they left the locations before I could get there." Vader lied.

" Do not fail me this time Lord Vader, and if I hear the rebels are not at Geonosis I will be most displeased."

" Yes my master."

Without even bidding him farewell Sidious cut the connection and his hologram became nothing. Vader stood up and walked to the bridge where Traya awaited his arrival.

" Hello Lord Vader." Traya said as he approached her from behind and stood next to her. " Did Sidious believe you?"

" Yes, but I don't think he trusts me any longer."

" It matters not." Traya began as the ship lurched into hyperspace. " Soon we will be allied with the rebels and the emperor will die. We need your son to fight with us."

" Why? I still don't understand."

" You will when everything is over Vader. Now when we arrive at Geonosis what approach do you think we should take?"

" You and I should be the only ones to go there. Then the rebels will know we are not threatening them."

" I thought so as well. And when we get there I am not Darth Traya, I am Kreia, your loyal trusted advisor and apprentice. If the rebels think you are following me they will become suspicious indeed."

" I agree."

" Well then, all that is left to do is land and talk."

xXx

They arrived at the old dead planet of Geonosis in no less than two hours and in that time Vader met with all the commanders of his fleet and recited to them Traya's plan. Most agreed to it although Vader had to kill the one who did not.

He and Kreia now zoomed down to the planet of Geonosis aboard an unarmed Lambda class shuttle. Upon entering the atmosphere their transmission alert chimed. Vader accepted the message that had been sent to him and a small blue image of a gruff looking rebel appeared on the projector pad of his ship.

" State your business and identification… Darth VADER!" The man cried out when he noticed who he was speaking to. " Come down slowly or you will be killed!"

" I will." Vader replied. The man looked very pale and shocked now.

" And you agree to depart your shuttle unarmed?"

" Yes."

" What is your business here Vader?"

" I wish to talk."

" Alright…" The man said slowly as if trying to read Vader and his true intentions. " You are cleared to land."

" Good."

" There will be a squad to arrest you when you touch down."

" Very well."

" What?"

" As I said I wanted only to talk."

The man nodded and cut the connection looking very confused. It wasn't everyday Lord Vader found the base of the rebel alliance and only wanted to chat instead of trying to blow them into chunks.

As Vader's ship cut through the light clouds the ground of Geonosis was revealed to him. It was just as barren as ever. Though it was littered with half buried republic gun ships as well as the old vulture droids. Scattered here and there he could see a white broken helmet protruding from the red sand and thousands of scraps of metal. He could quite clearly see the rebel base. It looked like a huge square box attached to a huge rock spire that had been carved into a living tower centuries ago by the nearly extinct creatures that used to live there. It seemed the whole top of the metal box was a landing platform which thousands of ships stood on. Around the spire and the square box were a huge cluster of warships the rebels had.

Vader brought the shuttle closer to the roof of the place. It was very clear where he was to land, there was a nice patch of unoccupied space on the platform that was surrounded by rebels in flight suits, each armed with a huge heavy blaster. Vader touched landed in the middle of the circle and he and Traya stood up. Vader flicked a switch on the control panel and the boarding ramp lowered. He and Traya slowly walked down it boots banging loudly on the steel. They reached the bottom and the rebels stormed up to them guns primed to shoot. The gruff looking rebel approached them and extended his hand.

" Release your weapons." He said.

While repressing a sigh, Vader unclipped the saber from his belt and handed it to the man. Traya did the same, the man seemed surprised she carried a lightsaber but did not speak. Without any exchange of words, he led the odd pair into the turbo lift and it descended. Vader breathed heavily in somewhat of a sigh as the lift stopped and opened, maybe somewhat in frustration because the rebel leading them had not talked to them at all, or maybe because this floor they were on happened to house a detention area.

The man however did not lead them toward the cell area, instead he went the complete opposite way and within two minutes, they were all standing outside a negotiation room. The rebel opened the door and entered so fast Vader could not get a proper look at the interior of the room. After a few moments Kreia smiled and nodded and then the door opened, the rebel came out and it closed again. He looked very pale now.

" The… leaders… wish to speak with you." He said. He moved out of the way and the two Sith entered Kreia's and Vader's long cloaks flowing behind them.

The room was quite big, it was not decorated very much and the only furnishing was a large situation table made of white painted chrome, the walls were white two only they were made out of plasteel it seemed, with a reinforced permacrete layer. On the red cushioned chairs, Which painfully reminded Vader of the Jedi council room sat the rebel leaders. Princess Leia Organa (who looked extremely appalled to see Vader), Mon Mothma, Luke Skywalker (who was also uncomfortable), Admiral Akbar, and a few others. Mon Mothma stood up with a grim look on her face. She spread her hands apart and pointed to two empty seats.

" Sit." She said coldly. Vader and Kreia did so. Right when their rear ends were firmly seated Mothma sat back down.

" Now, why have you come here Vader?" She asked in that same cold voice. He noted that she failed to call him ' Lord Vader'.

" I intend to help you." Vader replied coldly as well though his mechanical voice could not create the effect. Mon Mothma chuckled icily.

" And why is it Lord Vader, that we should believe you?" Mon Mothma asked curtly.

" The Emperor is a mindless killing machine, I regret serving him now." Vader said and really meant it.

" Hmm, and we are just to take your word for it and become the best of friends are we?" Leia asked hotly.

" I don't expect that." Vader replied to her.

" Good because it's not going to happen, father." Luke said icily. No one seemed shocked to hear him say it, he must have already told them. At this Kreia smiled.

" As I said I don't expect you to, son." Vader replied calmly. " But I have valuable information. And Sidious has to go."

" I know more than you would think about your Sith beliefs Vader."

Mon piped up. " Is it not true that the apprentice is supposed to murder the master when he desires to be the master."

" Indeed." Kreia said. Everyone but Vader looked at her. " Only Vader is no longer a Sith."

" And why, old woman, should we listen to you? And who are you?" Leia asked.

" My name is Kreia and I am Vader's savior as he is mine." Kreia replied coolly.

" The evidence is overwhelming now!" Leia cried sarcastically. " First Vader tells us he has changed, and then an old woman claims to have turned him away from the Emperor! We have to believe him now!"

At this, Kreia's milky white eyes flashed blood red but no one noticed.

" Is there anyway you can prove to us Vader, that you do indeed want to help us?" Mon Mothma asked.

" You may have complete control of my fleet and the plans to the Empror's second Death Star." Vader replied pulling out a data pad from his belt pocket and tossing it onto the table. One by one the leaders looked at it and when they were finished Mon Mothma looked up.

" Exit now Vader and we will discuss on whether we will accept your help."

" Very well." Vader replied standing up. " But I am going to kill Sidious either way, you would be wise to let me help you."

Vader turned on his heel and Kreia followed. Once safely out of the room she turned to him.

" She is like you, you know." Kreia said.

" Who?"

" Leia, she is your daughter."

" I have long suspected she was related to me." Vader admitted. " She has so much of… her mother in her."

" Padmé Amidala? Yes she does."

" How do you know of my wife?"

" I know many things Vader, I have been a part of the force for over two thousand years, there is little that I do not know anymore."

Vader pondered this for a while. Though his thoughts were cut short when the negotiation room door opened behind him and Mon Mothma's voice called. " Enter."

Vader and Kreia did so, they sat back down and looked at the frowning leaders.

" We have grudgingly decided to accept your help." Mon Mothma stated emphasizing every syllable of the word grudgingly in an icy tone. " But I must warn you Vader, any sign of treachery and we will kill you. Same goes for you… Kreia."

" Very well." Vader said. " Now lets talk some more."

" Yes, lets."
