Chapter 10

Padme awoke the next morning, feeling utterly ecstatic. She stretched her hands up above her head as a smile played on her lips. As her hands stretched out around her, she hit something next to her, something warm and soft, rising up and down. Padmes' breath caught in her throat as she looked next to her and saw Vader sleeping next to her. Letting out an involuntary scream, Padme jumped out and bed, and realized all too soon that she had no clothes on. Screaming once again, she grabbed the sheet that covered Vader and tightened it around herself.

After she had done so, she noticed that Vader was naked as well, and even though it was something she had already seen many times before, she still turned her back to him, shutting her eyes.

Behind her, she heard him beginning to move, as well as the large sigh that escaped his lips.

"Good morning," he said huskily when he noted her standing form.

"G-good morning," Padme stuttered out, still standing with her back to him.

A smirk lit Vaders' face. "Don't tell me you're feeling shy this morning?" she said mockingly. "I don't remember you being so shy last night."

Padme took a deep breath. "Last night was a mistake."

She heard Vader rise from the bed, and his footsteps to the dresser. "You seemed to enjoy it."

Then Padme couldn't take anymore and she spun around to face him. "You had no right to do what you did! You took advantage of me!"

Vader pulled on his pants easily, and then turned around to face his furious wife. "I took advantage of you?" he said icily as he walked towards her in haunting steps. "I comforted you, when you were in tears!" he yelled when he stopped mere inches from her face. "But I see that that was indeed a mistake, and you can believe that it will never happen again!"

With that Vader stormed from the room, force pushing everything out of his way in one enraged thrust of his arm. Then he was out in the hall, throwing anyone who dared to stand in his way.

As Vader was walking through the halls, it seemed that his mind just couldn't think straight. Once again, just as she had many times before, Padme blamed him for everything that was happening. All that he was doing was for everyone's good! His new laws helped to keep everyone in check, and considering all that he was capable of doing, he was being very generous. But still, Padme did not seem to understand. Even after their night of passion, she was still stubborn and resentful towards him. He had comforted her in her time of need, and she still has the gall to push him away, when she should be thankful. Everything that he did, however, was being taken for granted, everything.

At last, Vader got into his private chambers and he stood near a window, looking out over space. He loved to look out over the many stars and galaxies, feeling the power that it all held. In the distance, he saw Tattooine, and his fists clenched in rage.

That planet was the source of much of his despair: his slavery, the Jedi, his mother… everything had gone so wrong. It was never meant to be this way. His mother was still supposed to be alive and he was supposed to be her hero, but he couldn't even save her. He hung his head, just thinking about what a disappointment he must be to her and everyone else.

Suddenly, he felt something slightly hit the ship, and his head shot back up, looking all around outside. Then he saw it: a whole asteroid field was surrounding them. Vader narrowed his eyes for there never used to be asteroids in this area before.

Then, he noticed something even more peculiar. All of the asteroids seemed to be having one destination: Tattooine. This was very odd indeed.

Even though he was angry at that despicable planet, he didn't necessarily want it all to be destroyed…

The asteroids stopped.

Vaders' eyes went wide in shock. Did he just…?

Once again, he transferred all of his anger at Tattooine, wishing that it were gone. And then the asteroids began their journey again towards the planet, spinning their way to destruction. Immediately, Vader stopped channeling all his anger towards his home, causing all the asteroids to stop in place, not even moving a fraction.

Then he turned away from the window, storming through the room and out onto the bridge, where all his commanders were watching the spectacle with their mouths' agape. Vader was sure that they were all wondering what was going on and what terrible force was creating it. Since they were all so caught up in the asteroids, they had all stopped working as well.

Vader strode up to the front, demanding all attention to be on him. When his workers saw him, they immediately tore their gazes away from the outside and resumed their working.

The lead commander came forward to speak with Vader.

"M-Milord," he stuttered out. Then he gestured to the window. "This is a most unexpected phenomenon."

Vader crossed his arms over his chest. "Do you know what caused it?" he asked with a smirk.

"No, milord. They just appeared out of nowhere and then began moving intermittently," explained the commander.

"Are you sure they were moving so spontaneously, commander?" hinted Vader. This commander was proving to be very amusing indeed.

The commander looked at Vader, very confused. Then, at last, he noted the knowing look in his eye, and at once, the commander reeled away in shock. "Y-You did it, Milord?" the commander whispered.

Vaders' smirk widened. "Of course, commander. Is there anything else out there that could possibly do such a thing?"

The commander stood up straight. "No, Milord."

"Good. Now that that is settled, I want you to continue on to our next destination," finished Vader as he turned to leave.

"Yes, Milord," responded the commander. After a pause he added, "Why?"

Vader stopped in his tracks. "Why what?"

The commander shuffled his feet uncomfortably. "Why did you use the asteroids as so?"

"Practice," was all he said before turning and walking out of the room completely.

Once Vader was gone, the commander turned to the rest of his coworkers and shouted, "All right men, set the coordinates straight for Coruscant!"

Back in Padmes' room, she heard the thumps and the exclamations of the men from the bridge. Right after she had heard all the strange noises and bumps against the ship, she ran over to the window and looked out across the great expanses of space. What she saw terrified her. Everywhere she looked, there were asteroids, most of them being very large in size. She thought for sure that they would die, for who could survive such an attack?

She was amazed, however, when she saw all the asteroids stop in place, cutting off their advancements. Her eyes widened in shock and surprise, wondering what could cause such a thing.

Then, the asteroids began to move again, and Padme was afraid, but not as much as she was previously. Now, she regarded them with more wonder than fear. Once again, the giant rocks began to move and then stop.

Now, Padme was just getting suspicious of these items, and for some unknown reason, she knew that her husband had something to do with it all.

Next time... Vader gets even more powerful... uh-oh
