The Mind of a Dead Man.

He stares out into space. Gazing out of the main window of the Star Destroyer. Staring into himself one last time.

Anakin?

Lord Vader turns around, nothing.

Anakin?

He turns, nothing nor can he feel anyone.

You won't find me Anakin, Im in here, in your mind.

"That name means nothing to me anymore." Lord Vader mumbled.

What do you mean, Nothing, Its who you are Anakin, before you went weak. Weakness is your fault. You wanted to be pittied, felt sorry for, but they wouldn't so you took the easy way out.

"I am not weak."

Yes you are, think of all the innocents you killed just to appease a Master, Funny, All this training, under two masters, and yet to become one.

"I am a Master."

In your own mind. Weak one. Palpetine is using you Anakin, can you not see it?

"He is my master."

Your blind Anakin, blind as the rest of these...theses...banthas. You are being fooled, tricked, The Great Sith Lord is using a simple Jedi Mind trick on you. But he's poisioning you mind, trying to make you beleive this is right, it isn't Anakin. You were such a great Jedi. Why can't you see it?

Lord Vader couldn't think of any good reason to retort. "Am I being mislead?" he wispered under his mask.

You are right, you are nothing, nothing than a machine without an heart, freewill, thought, only to do what your told, to appease a master, Padawan Vader.

Lord Vader roared with anger and smashed an control panel with is fist. These thoughts or voices have been coming to him for weeks now, since he killed Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader.

"I do not need anyone, I could rule this Empire myself." roared Vader.

What about Padme'...You killed her, You killed your own wife Anakin, A woman who loved you, care for you through all your troubled times. You killed her, betrayed her. Your mother...you betrayed her as well. Master Qui-Gon, betrayed. Obi-Wan, betrayed. Anakin, betrayed.

"No...I didn't kill Padme'...I...loved her." he said.

Then quit this sherade, Leave Palpetine, he's currupts, revolt aganst him.

"No. He is my master." Lord Vader said.

Then Anakin Skywalker is truly dead.

"Then So Be It." Lord Vader replied to the voice and walked back towards his master's chambers.

No more did the voice return. No need to talk to the dead mind.
