Chapter 4: Bring Him to Me

Darth Vader waited patiently for the transmission with the Emperor to connect. It had been an hour since. since the incident, and for once in his cold, dark life he was at a complete loss for words. He'd never encountered anything like this before, and he very much doubted the Emperor had ever.

"Lord Vader."

Vader kept his head tilted downward respectfully.

"Master."

"How did the Hoth mission proceed?"

"A highly unusual occurrence interrupted our capture of the Rebels."

"Oh? And what was the nature of this. occurrence?"

Vader took a deep breath.

"An unidentified object took form in the middle of the Rebel base hangar. The red craft then drove across the room, with the princess, into the Millennium Falcon."

The evil, all-knowing eyes of the Emperor blinked.

"Who was the driver?" he asked simply.

"A human male."

"And does he have a name?"

"An identity card placed on the back of the vehicle read 'Austin Powers'."

"Anything else, Lord Vader?"

"Yes, Master. I sensed a very strange power surge coming off the direction of Powers."

More disgusting lines drew across the Emperor's forehead.

"A power surge?"

Darth Vader nodded.

"Yes, master, a power surge. It was similar to the force, but different. It was extremely powerful and could be dangerous if not dealt with immediately. I shall extinguish him as soon as possible."

"No," stopped the Emperor. "I must have this power. You will bring Austin Powers to me unharmed. Dismissed."

When the connection was cut off, the Emperor gleefully turned his chair around and stared at the galaxy that was all his.
