Chapter 7: Vaders Castle

Vader's Castle

Mace's stolen shuttle arrives on Mustafar as he walks down the ramp of the shuttle, the old master looks around to see what the planet looks like. The planet looks like its on fire. This is the resting place of someone who he use to know. Mace wonders how all the past events led to this moment. Still feeling anger for Petro, Mace struges it off. No ones around to stop him. "There is no one outside here to stop me? This must be a trap" Mace thinks to himself as he pulls up his hood while walking into the castle. The Jedi easily dispatches all the troopers inside if there was any. Walking up he walks into the throne room of Darth Vader with Petro by his side.

"It has been a long time old friend" Vader stands up from his chair to lift the injured jedi up in the air with the force.

"Let him go Skywalker" Mace says, which shocks Petro realizing why his master kept this secret to himself.

Vader fires back, "Skywalker is dead and soon you will join him"

"I am sorry Anakin I should have listened to you, helped you with whatever you were going through. It is not to late come back I will help you" Mace pleaded with his fallen ally.

"I told you Skywalker is dead" Vader then decides to inpail Petro with his crimson lightsaber. The last of the younglings had died and the future for the galaxy.

Petro then falls down with the last thing he looks at is his master then closes his eyes dying.

"NO" Mace runs to the body of his padawan, but with no pulse. This was now personal for Windu. He realizes it might be too late to save Anakin after all.

"Now do you believe me" Vader walks down the steps to the Jedi with his lightsaber ready

Mace without a word ignites his own saber and the two charge at each other. Mace uses his aggressive fighting style while controlling the light and dark something he couldn't contain the last few years. Vader is not being pushed back as easily with his cybernetics; it's too hard for him to fall back. The sith lord then lets out a chuckle before using the force to slam Mace twice before the Jedi master flies forward to kick the Sith Lord back before being thrown into the wall agian. Mace then thinks to himself that Anakin is stronger than he remembered despite the fallen Jedi being in a heavy suit. Vader then stands back up swinging at Windu who blocks it with his own purple blade and then keeps dueling. After a lightsaber lock Mace cuts through the right side of Vader's mask sending him back.

"Ahhh" Vader responds through his mask. The purple blade then points to the face of the dark lord. Before Mace could land the finishing blow he shuts off his Lightsaber

"No, there is a prophecy to be fulfilled. I have seen the future. You will bring balance back to the force. Anakin I forgive you for everything"

Vader gets backs up and plunges his lightsaber into Mace's chest, "I told you Anakin is dead!"

The body of Mace drops to the ground, but not without the body disappearing. Mace Windu is gone.

Vader then walks out with Mace's lightsaber outside his castle where his master arrives on the planet.

"My master Mace Windu is dead" Vader then bows to his master presenting the lightsaber of the fallen jedi.

"Good there is no one left to oppose us, my apprentice. No one can stop the Empire now" As Palpatine lets out a chuckle.
