"Lord Vader, I have a special misison for you." The Emperor said as Anakin paced about in his office one day. Palpatine was watching out of the window, glaring at the appartment building where Padme had once resided.
"What about Padme Master?" Anakin asked anxiously. He hadn't stopped worrying about her since Palpatine had informed him of her supposed treachery.
"She is now a traitor and an enemy of the Republic. If she dares show her face on Coruscant again, I will personally see that she is destroyed."
"But Master..."
"Enough Lord Vader. You will go to the Mustafar system where you will find the cowardly Seperatist leaders. I want you to dispose of all of them. Only then, will peace be restored to the Galaxy."
"Yes Master." Anakin bowed low, then headed for the door, making a mental note to search for Padme and warn her as soon as he could.
"Lord Vader!" The Emperor called as he reached the door. Anakin turned to see what his Master could want now.
"If you dare to warn Padme of my decision, I shall have to punish you severely!" he warned and as though he was trying to make a point, he blasted Anakin with a dose of Force lightning.
Anakin stumbled backwards out of the door, clutching his chest.
Ok, maybe I won't warn her...yet. He thought.
