All You Mean To Me

By Aiko "Kitty" Skywalker

Chapter Seven

Padmé's breath caught in her throat as Yavin IV grew dark. Her eyes grew wet and wild as they searched frantically the scenery. She seemed for a moment to be suspended in time, hanging by a thread. Scared beyond her wildest dreams, she pressed her eyes closed as she felt like she was falling. She tightened her grasp on the twins who both were stunned with fear.

Darkness reigned and Padmé could feel it all. She could feel the tumbling and shaking, she could feel the darkness surrounding her an engulfing her. She knew something was wrong and for a brief glimmer of a moment she could hear Anakin call out for help.

"ANI!" she screamed loudly and clasped forwards into the darkness as if Anakin were there.

Obi-Wan dashed into the room. Quickly he grasped a hold of Luke and Padmé (who was holding Leia at the time) and pulled both of them out of the room. He cradled Luke strongly in his arms while leading Padmé towards where they had hidden their ship.

"Obi-Wan what's going on?"

"No time to explain now Padmé, we must get you and the twins off the planet."

Mace was standing outside of the ship on the loading platform, the winds that had picked up since the planet had gone dark blowing his cloak about. Yoda was already inside in his seat in the small passenger room of the ship behind the cockpit and Adi was up front, preparing the ship for take off. Quickly Mace pulled Padmé aboard the ship with the twins and ushered them all into the ship before closing the loading platform. As soon as it was closed Adi took off, not waiting another moment.

"What's going on?" Padmé demanded again, pushing herself down into a seat, and taking Luke from Obi-Wan, cradling both the crying babies in her arms.

"Its Darth Vader," Obi-Wan finally stated, "he's on Yavin IV."

"Quite and he's summoned the spirit of Exar Kun," Mace concluded while entering back into the room from the cockpit where he had joined Adi at the beginning of the flight after ushering Padmé and Obi-Wan into the ship.

"Exar Kun? Wasn't he that Sith you told me about Obi-Wan whose spirit was believed to be lying in the walls of one of the Sith temples?"

"Quite, Lady Skywalker, and there is much to fear from Exar Kun. He is known to many Jedi as being the strongest Sith ever to exist. Now that he has been summoned, there may be no end to Palpatine's evil reign."

"But Obi-Wan told me himself that Exar Kun is only a spirit. How can he be unleashed? I mean what sort of trouble can a spirit cause?"

"Lady Skywalker there is none unless a host is found." Mace stated, looking towards Yoda whose eyes were closed in concentration and meditation.

"A host?"

"Yes, Padmé, a host. This is someone who the spirit lives within, a body the spirit preoccupies. It is usually the one who summons the spirit or else the closest available body in which the spirit is happy with."

"Anakin?" she asked, tears welling in her eyes.

Mace and Obi-Wan exchanged worried glances.

"Vader, Exar Kun has taken. Host he has become." Yoda finally stated opening his eyes. "No more is Vader, only Kun."

From the darkened Sith Temple on Yavin IV a shacking hand emerged. Basked with blood, the hand pulled a pained body from the temple. Pushing himself up, the body straitened, covered with blood and sweat from the explosion of energy.

Looking down at the cuts and scars across his body, the form closed his eyes, allowing the dark energies to flow through. All around him there was a blackened mist, formed by the dark energies. Striking out into the mist, the mist separated into what seemed like millions of little shards. Smiling, the shards seemed to latch onto the body, healing the cuts and blood.

But from within the darkness came a white mist, a mist that seemed to form a hand. This bright light reached out towards him, and he could almost hear the soft voice of Padmé Amidala pleading towards him to take hold.

But the darkness claimed his soul, covered his body. The cold darkness empowered him. It didn't matter anymore if the light reached out towards him, for no longer would there be even a glimmer of a positive response.

Igniting the red blade at his side, he struck out, cutting the white mist in two.

Laughing he swung the blade aloft impressed by his new body's capabilities and speed the rivaled his body of old, possibly even surpassed it.

Exar Kun was born within the black mists of darkness, the sign of the Sith.

Kun looked on towards the sky, as the healing ended and his health returned to its peak. He watched simply as a small silver ship departed out of the atmosphere and into the stars.

It was of no importance to Exar Kun. They would be caught.

Firs the must contact the man known as Palpatine, who his body was calling for him to contact.

"Lord Palpatine," Kun stated coldly, "you're saying that you rule this galaxy?"

"As Emperor, Lord Kun," Palpatine's face pulled into a fiendish smile.

"A Sith ruling the galaxy, this is an excellent development. Maybe there is a partnership we can create between the two of us."

"Indeed there is. What I need you to do for me is to destroy those who were on the planet with you when you were summoned, the ones who escaped. When you do this I shall grant you limitless power in this galaxy. This galaxy is our domain and these ones are the only ones who can halt our progress."

"How so?"

"There is a human woman aboard the ship known as Lady Padmé Skywalker. She is the wife of the one who's body you inhabit. His name was Anakin Skywalker, the most gifted Jedi Padawan in history with a midichlorians count of over 25,000, until I turned him to the Dark Side with a former apprentice of mine, Darth Tyranus, who Anakin slew to become my new apprentice. When he did so he became Darth Vader. However I have always felt that he had a deep connection to Padmé still and his heart still longed for hers. I need her dead. And the other three are all Jedi, a knight known as Obi-Wan who was Anakin's former master, Madam Adi Gallia who is a gifted Jedi Master who sued to sit on the Jedi Council, Master Windu who is a Jedi Master who is second in power only to the strongest of all Jedi Master Yoda who is also aboard that ship. They can halt our progress, and especially that woman Lady Skywalker. I used to know her from my days as a politician before I became emperor, she is incredibly skillful in politics and can easily set up the strongest rebellion this galaxy has ever seen with the help of those Jedi."

"I understand, Lord Palpatine. They shall be destroyed, not to worry. I know where they're going; I have been following their signatures. The Jedi who is doing the cloaking aboard the ship is good, but not good enough."

"Excellent,"

Padmé lowered her head down on the bed. How did it ever come to this? Running from her former husband who was inhabited by an evil demon spirit of an enraged Sith who has been in a disembodied slumber for the last four millennia. It sounded almost like a soap opera to Padmé, but yet it was real. Oh so very real.

Padmé slowly raised her head as Obi-Wan knocked on the cabin door and entered into the room quietly.

"We have decided on a planet, Padmé." He stated softly, taking a seat next to her. "We're going to the jungle planet known as Dagobah. Yoda wishes to stay there. It is a force full place in which he can remain for the time being. It will be a safe place for us to stay for a while until the steam blows over."

Padmé just nodded her head and looked down at her feat, almost in shame.

"Is something wrong Padmé?" he asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Looking up into his eyes, Padmé sighed heavily.

"Obi-Wan I don't know how I'm going to deal with this. I can't live without Anakin here. How can I support my children without him? They don't disserve the life they've been born into! They deserve a life with a father but now I know they'll never have one. I thought when I told Anakin of my pregnancy that it would help bring him back to the light. But now I know that I may have just damned us all."

Obi-Wan rapped and arm around her waste and held her to him. Since Anakin's turn Padmé had become one of his best friends. Many people on different planets had asked if he were the father of Padmé's children. But he never loved Padmé that way. She was his best friend and in a way his last link to Anakin. Her children were the last reminders he had of Anakin, especially little Luke who was like a carbon copy of Anakin.

At that moment Obi-Wan swore to return Anakin to Padmé even if it cost him his life.

One week later

Padmé pulled the covers tightly over her head within her small tent like shelter. It was cold outside on Dagobah that night, surprising since it was supposed to be a warm, humid, jungle planet.

But that wasn't the problem that night.

Someone was watching Padmé as she slept.

End of Chapter Seven

That's it for now. You just have to wait for some more. Well now we see the Sith Lord Exar Kun has come out to play. Will this be the end of the Jedi Order or will this mistake mean the end of the Empire? And who is watching Padmé as she sleeps? Only I know the answer ;).
