All You Mean To Me
By Aiko "Kitty" Skywalker
Chapter SixVader's sharp breath echoed through the cockpit of his strong and sturdy star ship. It had been nearly a month and a half since he had begun his search for his wife to not prevail.
He had begun to lose all hope of finding his wife. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the galaxy.
That was until he had come across what looked like a ship he had once seen in the Jedi garages which were attached to the once standing Jedi Temple in a junk yard dealer's shop on a small criminal planet of Xavier. After having spoken, more like threatened, the dealer into telling him who had sold him the ship, Vader had managed to determine who the ones who had sold the vehicle (it turns out they had traded the vehicle). He had narrowed it down to Master Yoda, Master Windu, Madam Adi Gallia, Master Kenobi, and his own dear wife, the very pregnant Padmé.
He had since then been on the trail of an old junk freighter, whose identification codes he had given to him by the junk yard dealer. After stopping at numerous different space outposts in which the freighter would have passed and looking at the recording in those outposts, he had determined where the ship, in vicinity, was heading.
The Yavin system.
Which narrowed it down a lot. There was only one inhabitable planet in the Yavin system, well more like a moon actually. This planet was Yavin IV.
Grinning to himself he punched in the coordinates for hyperspace. Once in hyperspace he immediately went to work contacting the Emperor.
Soon a holographic image of the Emperor appeared.
"Master I have news," stated the solemn Sith, "I have managed to track down where I believe the rebels are. They are on a lonely moon, Yavin IV."
"How can you be so sure Lord Vader?"
"Because, Master, I have tracked them into the Yavin system and there is only one inhabitable planet in the Yavin system, a moon by the name of Yavin IV, sire."
"Excellent work Lord Vader, see to it you kill Lady Skywalker and any companions she has with her. I was this finished, do I make myself clear Lord Vader?"
"Crystal, sire," he said before the emperor terminated the connection. Vader lay his head down solemnly on the control panel of his ship, his scarred cheeks pressing onto the cool metal of the control panel. "How am I going to do this?" he questioned as his thoughts ranted deeply in his head. "How in deed."
Padmé sat solemnly and alone upon the docks, her feat lazily brushing the water as she gracefully held Luke in her arms as she fed him, a solemn expression on her face. Leia lay besides her, rapped tightly in blankets as Yavin's cool fall hit them briskly. It was a short winter and fall, no snow but endless rains and cool weather. But she would take advantage of the reasonable conditions of the day to enjoy the calm waters and cool atmosphere.
It was tranquil; it was brilliantly beautiful; nothing could wreck her mood.
That was until Obi-Wan entered into the picture.
"Padmé you must come towards the temple," he commanded quickly.
Padmé raised her head to gaze into Obi-Wan's worried eyes. "What's going on?"
"Yoda has sensed an imperial shuttle heading towards us now. We must hurry. Master Yoda, Master Windu, and Madam Gallia sense that someone knows where we are and their power is incredibly dark. It could be Vader himself. You must hurry and we must prepare for departure. If the shuttle continues on its current course towards us we must evacuate."
Padmé's eyes lit up and she scooped Leia up into her arms next to Luke. Leia was temporarily startled and released a cry of fright and began to cry harshly and Luke soon joined in, angered that he was interrupted during his feeding.
Padmé rocked the two back and forth lightly, calming them as she followed Obi-Wan back to the temple that they were staying in.
Yoda's eyes clouded over in deep thought when he finally opened them after a long period of meditation and sensing. Padmé, Adi, Mace and Obi-Wan were around him. Finally he spoke.
"Lost the location of the ship I have," he stated, "suddenly disappeared it seems to have done."
The four Jedi exchanged glances as Padmé glanced about in wonderment.
"Clocking?" Obi-Wan questioned.
"Possibly Master Obi-Wan," Mace stated solemnly.
"Is there a possibility that the ship wasn't even there? That possibly it was a trick?" Padmé asked.
"A trick it was not," Yoda answered, "but wait and see we shall, Lady Skywalker." Yoda stood from his position cross-legged on the floor. "Meditate on this I must. Prepare to leave, you all must incase the ship I find."
Little did they know that it was all ready too late.
Vader lowered his ship to the group of Yavin IV. He closed his eyes for a moment searching out for the small group. Unable to feel them, not even a void that would be left because of clocking, he pulled out his communicator.
"Master," he said as a hologram of his master appeared, "I have arrived on the planet but I cannot find any of them. But I know they are here. But where is the question."
"Hmmm…this is an interesting development Lord Vader," Palpatine answered, "I think I may be able to help."
"How, my master?"
"Do you remember the story of Exar Kun?"
"Yes, master,"
"Search out his resting place, Lord Vader, I believe that maybe it is time to awaken the great Sith from his slumber. It is time to grasp complete control of the galaxy and Kun can help us."
"Of course, my master,"
Vader's eyes were locked closed as stood before the inscriptions of the Sith Temple. Placing a hand to the wall, he concentrated.
"I summon thou, Exar Kun, from your slumber to thee. The time has come for the Sith to reign, awaken now for today."
Darkness fell across the land and Yavin IV seemed suspended in a moment of time. The only thing that broke the silence was the loud, sudden, and piercing scream of Vader.
End of Chapter Six
That's it for now. You just have to wait for some more. Ok so I've added a new twist here. Hehe, now it is time for the entrance of another Sith Lord, on with the darkness of time on his side.
