A Star wars story

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: Disney owns everything except my plot.

Hello there! This chapter revolves around Ahsoka's trip to the stormy planet of Kamino and her plan to change the protocol for Order 66. Meanwhile, Vader works on freeing Tatooine from the Hutts. During his mission he encounters a Jedi who is was on an undercover mission and is in dire need of help. But will this Jedi accept help from a Sith Lord?

Note: During dialogue, words in Italics are mind-tricks or someone who is being mind-tricked talking.

Kamino, hangar bay, Ahsoka's point of view:

I had just signed off from a transmission with Anakin. He told me he managed to save his mother and I informed him about my arrival on Kamino. A clone trooper came up to me, with his blaster raised and demanded I explain myself for the unauthorized landing.

CT-7567-What are you doing here stranger?

Ahsoka-Hello there! I am here on behalf of the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who wishes to speak to your Prime Minister.

CT-7567-I can't just allow anyone in the city.

Ahsoka-You will escort me to the Prime Minister.

CT-7567-I will escort you to the Prime Minister.

Ahsoka-I'm glad we agree on this.

The clone trooper escorted me to Lama Su and I set up a communicator so he could speak with Anakin.

Lama Su-Lord Vader?

Vader-Ah, Prime Minister. I see my apprentice has reached Kamino.

Lama Su-She has, but I do not understand why you would be interested in our remote world.

Vader-Minister, I am contacting you because of Master Sifo Dias.

Lama Su-You know Master Dias?

Vader-Yes, I do. And of what happened to him. Well anyways, he wanted me to let you know that he has ordered me to alter a contingency order's protocol. I've sent my apprentice to complete the task.

Lama Su-He has ordered you to alter a contingency order's protocol. You've sent your apprentice to complete the task.

Vader-You will grant her full access to your systems and provide the appropriate codes.

Lama Su-I will grant her full access to our systems and provide the appropriate codes.

Vader-Additionally, you will forget this ever happened after she departs.

Lama Su-I will forget this ever happened after she departs.

Vader-It was nice speaking to you Prime Minister.

Lama Su-I enjoyed our conversation as well.

After I placed the communicator back on my belt I followed the Minister and changed the protocol for order 66. Now, instead of forcing the clones to betray the Jedi, the army will proceed to acknowledge Anakin as the new Supreme Commander and arrest the Chancellor for treason. I returned to my ship as soon as I erased the security footage and set course for Coruscant, to stop Jango Fett before he could try and kill Padme again.

Tatooine, Jabba's Palace, Vader's point of view:

I entered Jabba's palace with one goal in mind: to wipe out that scum and free Tatooine from his grasp. Two of his guards attempted to stop me, which simply gave me an excuse to force-choke them to death. I approached Jabba, but didn't kneel. He of course, took note of this and immediately demanded an explanation for my presence there and his two dead guards.

Note: Once again, Huttese will be translated to English.

Vader-Jabba the Hutt. Listen to me carefully. You are unaware of who you are dealing with. I am Darth Vader, lord of the Sith, and I demand you to leave Tatooine immediately. Any attempt to assault me will resort to your death. Was I clear?

Jabba-You demand something from me? Ha ha ha ha! You are in no position to make demands! I have all the power here! Not you!

Vader-You consider some Bounty Hunters, guards and soon-to-be-free slaves power? Even if you had an army, you would be no match for a Sith Lord! Do not test my patience! Leave this planet if you wish to keep your life!

Jabba-You amuse me! Kill him! Whoever brings me his head will be granted anything I can offer and much more!

Vader-Your move.

Instinctively, fell into my offensive position of Form V and drew my saber. The hunters didn't back down even when they saw it, which was plain stupid of them. They kept attacking me and they kept dying. Eventually, Jabba run out of things to try and kill me with, so I spoke again.

Vader-This is your last chance. Surrender or die, scum.

Jabba-I won't kneel to you. Someone kill him!

Vader-There is no one here but you and me. Don't make this difficult.

Jabba-You think you can demand things from me you…

Jabba never got to finish that sentence because his head was on the floor before he could. After I cut him half for good measure, something that took too long for lightsaber standards, I turned to the slaves. Suddenly, I felt the presence of a Jedi. I looked around and saw none other than Master Aayla Secura posing as a slave girl. I approached her and began talking before she could say anything.

Vader-All of you are free to go. No one is going to hurt you.

Slave Girl-We still have our chips. We can't leave.

Vader-I see. Please stand still, this is going to sting.

I summoned a small bolt of lightning in my palm and directed it to the chips. They were fried instantly and I told them they were free.

Slave Girl-How can we repay you for freeing us?

Vader-Stay out of trouble.

Slave Girl-Yes mast…I mean sir.

Vader-Is anyone here injured?

Aayla-Ugh…

Vader-Who is she?

Slave Girl-That's Aayla. She was brought in last week. They finished giving her a beating before you came here.

Vader-She'll die if her wounds aren't treated. I'll take her with me.

Aayla-Who…are you?

Vader-I'll get you somewhere safe. Don't worry and whatever you do, don't fall asleep.

I assume she understood it was wiser to obey and she did as I asked. I carried her to the speeder and took her to the place where Ahsoka and I have been living in for the past months. When we arrived I placed her on the bed and began treating her injuries. When I finished, I let her rest while I contacted Ahsoka to ask about her progress.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I already have the next one planned out and I'll begin working on it. As a side note, the reason Aayla is here this early in the story, or in the first place I suppose, is because I'm trying to build up things that will make Anakin and other Jedi like Obi Wan, Aayla (obviously) and Ahsoka trust Vader more and give them solid reasons to question the Council's decisions regarding the Sith Lord. Lastly, don't forget to leave a review about my work before you leave. Until next time guys!
