Chapter 11

The ship landed on the docking bay on Coruscant, it's engines making hissing sounds as it shut down, its legs supporting its grounding form. Once it was on the ground, the door opened up, and Vader walked briskly out and into the cool night air. It had been many months since he had been on Coruscant, the last time actually being when he had completed the Purge of the Jedi for Darth Sidious. Ever since that day, Vader had not once had the urge to visit this planet – all of the memories still a bit too vivid. Now, however, being here was somewhat of an empowering treatment, to view once again all that he had accomplished for the sake of the galaxy and his wife. The cause was to remember, when before he had not even wanted to think about what had happened before. His past was what had made him so powerful to begin with; it had been the start of the time when he was able to get more intune with his force powers in order to do certain abilities that had never been seen before in the history of the Jedi or Sith, for that matter. This place, Coruscant, was the history of his own legend.

As he got into his starfighter that had been arranged for his use, he took one more glance around the city and then he piloted is way to the one place that he desired to see the most: the Jedi Temple.

Of course, it would be in ruins now, since there was no one there to keep up its care and look, and it had been burned and completely destroyed by him as well. But in that place, there just felt like there was something that was bothering him with it all. He needed to see it one more time with his own eyes, for the sake of his soul.

When he got to the Jedi Temple and landed out front, like he had so many times in the past, the building was actually in better shape than he had expected. Before, when he had left it, he thought that it was been crumbling already and was about to completely tumble over. But now, seeing it there, it only had one giant hole in the front of it, but its foundations were still intact and it seemed to be stable.

For some reason, this viewing was more infuriating than Vader had originally expected it to be. Just seeing it still standing, to Vader, felt like it was mocking at him and tearing him down. He had destroyed the Jedi, every single last one, so how dare their lives, their old ways, still be remembered by the entire planet with the structure of their temple still erect? It was inconsiderate, infuriating, and hurtful! Now everyone, to pay their dues and remembrances, could visit this place and remember what had been, what could have been. This was not how it was supposed to be – the Jedi were supposed to have been wiped out completely: in actuality and memory; no one was ever supposed to think of them again; especially when he was in power – the one who had completed their downfall and eliminated their very existence. The temple, as it is, would not do.

The temple, the Jedi, the Masters, the Senators, Padme… nothing ever seemed to turn out how Vader had envisioned it. The temple was supposed to be destroyed, obliterated, not here, standing as a beacon of hope. The Jedi were supposed to his mentors, his friends, not turn against him and use their power to keep down others. The Masters, his Masters, held him back from his true potential, instead of furthering his abilities and encouraging him to do so. And Padme… nothing had been what it was supposed to be with her. She was supposed to be on his side for everything, backing him up on his ideas and actions. However, she did exactly the opposite: she betrayed him, stood against him, and attempted to hinder his plans and ideas to begin his downfall.

She hates you, that's why… she can't stand the sight of you… you're a monster!

"No!" Vader roared as he clenched his fists and his eyes turned into a resentful yellow. His breathing was deep and labored, and his eyes stared up at the temple beneath furrowed brows. Suddenly the wind around him began to whip intensely as above in the sky, dark clouds began to form, making the night even a more pitch black than before. Lightning struck as thunder rumbled and it seemed to make the whole world shake with its power.

Vader channeled into his hateful feelings, letting the power of the dark side consume him completely. He felt it rushing through his veins, his entire being shook with its' ferociousness. At the moment when he felt the most power, multiple bolts of lightning struck from the clouds and hit their mark, straight on top of the Jedi Temple. The building shook slightly from the power of the electricity from the strikes, but it still stood tall, becoming even more of a looming menace to Vader.

He let out another deep-throated roar, and as he lifted his hands, the sky turned to a deep red and then an orange/yellow shade as a hole opened up in it, revealing a giant mass of swirling fire. Vader thrust down his hands, causing the fire to come swirling down from Heaven, in a colossal twister of heat, and towards the Jedi Temple. When it struck, the temple immediately went on fire, everything in and around it burning up in one intense fire. The twister did not cease, but kept on smoldering and smoldering, as if to make sure that nothing within the Temple would ever survive to be again.

At last, the twister stopped its relentless attack, and it curled up within itself, drawing back into the depths from which it came. The temple was completely destroyed; a giant burnt structure, with nothing but soot and ash to live inside its walls. As if feeling its nothingness and destruction, the walls of the temple gave a low wail and then collapsed inward upon itself, becoming nothing but a pile of rubbish and stones.

From the shadows, Padme watched it all unfold before her: the lightning, the twister, and the absolute destruction of the Jedi Temple – the last memories of her dearest friends. How Vader had gotten a hold of these vast powers were beyond her comprehension. She had no idea how someone could control such entities such as fire and lightning, the weather in general. She was shocked, but above all else, for the first time, she was completely terrified of her husband and what he was capable of.
