Imperial Army Headquarters
"I shall be heading to Mustafar soon, the Seperatist leaders who were working together with the Jedi will be there." Vader said, addressing his two new apprentices. "I will expect everything to be in order when I come back, and I will have a…shall we say, surprise," he finished off.
"Yes master," murmured both Shaak Ti and Darth Frost.
Control Center of the CIS Bunker onMustafar
Nute Gunray was currently speaking with a holoprojected image of, Darth Vader? He had no idea who this was, just that Vader claimed to have killed Sidious and planned to award them richly.
"This is a glorious day for the galaxy! We will finally rule all!" he exclaimed.
"Yes yes, indeed. Thanks, in great part, to you, Viceroy, and your associates of the Techno Union and the IBC. And of course, ArchDuke Poggle. You have all performed magnificently. Have your droid armies been shut down?"
"Yes my lord, nearly an hour ago."
"Good, good," the holoscan of the cloaked man said pleasantly, "I shall be arriving soon, in fact, be prepared for my arrival, right…now."
The door opened. A tall cloaked figure with eyes as yellow as a feline cat, slim but broad shoulders, stood at the door.
San Hill beat the others to the greetings. "Welcome, Lord Vader!" His elongated legs almost tangled with each other in his rush to shake hands with the Sith Lord. "On behalf of the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, let me be the first to-"
"Very well, you will be the first."
The cloaked figure stepped inside and made a gesture with a black gloved hand. Blast doors slammed shut across every exit. The control panel exploded in a shower of sparkling waves.
The cloaked figure drew back his hood.
San Hill recoiled, hands flapping like panicked birds sewn to his wrists.
"You're, you're Anakin Skywalker!" he gasped before the life drained out of him from a blue blade sticking through his head, which then was whipped down in a loop to cut all three of his hearts. The Seperatist leaders all watched in frozen horror and fascination as the corpse of the head of the IBC collapsed onto the ground, dead.
"The resemblance," Darth Vader said, "Is deceptive."
Vader threw his lightsaber out, using the force to direct it, slashing off hands and legs left and right, before catching it by the hilt. Shu Mai, President and CEO of the Commerce Guild looked up from her knees, hands clasp before her. "We were promised a reward, a-a handsome reward!" she stammered.
"I am your reward." Vader replied coldly. "You don't find me handsome?"
"Please! Pleeee-"
Her cry for mercy was cut off by Vader flicking his wrist and sending the brilliant blue blade of energy through her skull.
5 Minutes Later
Darth Vader left nothing alive as he left the main room of the Seperatist Bunker.
Rune Haako tripped over a chair as he stumbled back.
"Stop! Please! We surrender!" he whimpered. "Do you understand? You can't just kill us!"
The Sith Lord smiled. "Or can't I?"
"We are unarmed! We surrendered! Pleeaasseeee! You're a Jedi!"
"You fought a war to destroy the Jedi, congratulations on your success." Vader replied, fighting back a feral grin, then slashed down and cut off his head as well. Next, he stepped towards Wat Tambor, head of the Techno Union, who cringed at his approach.
"Please! I'll offer you anything!" he cried pitifully. "Anything you want!"
Vader twirled his blade to form a butterfly in midair, cutting off his head, left arm, what was left of his neck, right arm.
"Thank you, I really do appreciate what you offered me," he remarked to the dead body of Wat Tambor. Lastly, he turned to Nute Gunray, Viceroy of the Trade Federation and last living leader of the CIS.
"The war is over! Lord Vader! You promised, you promised that we would be left in peace!"
"My transmission was garbled." Vader replied. "I promised you would be left in pieces."
Minutes or Hours, depending on what you want
Padme rushed down the landing ramp. Her eyes were all red, her emotional control shattered from the flight from Coruscant to Mustafar.
"Anakin! I've been so frightened! Obi Wan, he said terrible things about you, he said you turned to the dark side, that you murdered younglings!"
Vader's brain became clouded. He didn't say, I could never turn to the dark side. He didn't say, Murder younglings? Me? That's crazy.
Instead, he said, "Obi Wan's alive?"
"Yes, he said he was looking for you."
"Did you tell him where I am?"
"No Anakin, of course not! How could I, he wants, he wanted to kill you! I didn't tell him anything! I wouldn't!"
"Too bad," Vader reflected.
"Anakin, what?"
"He's a traitor, he's an enemy of the empire, he has to die."
"Stop it! Stop talking like that, you're frightening me! What have you done Anakin?"
"I have brought peace to the Republic."
"The Republic doesn't exist anymore! You killed it! You!"
"Yes, did you notice I was the Emperor?" he drawled. "It needed to die."
"Anakin, please stop! I can't stand you talking like this! Anakin-" her voice died away as she noticed he wasn't looking at her anymore. He wasn't even listening.
"You!"
"Padme, move away," Obi Wan's clear crisp voice cut through Mustafar's hot bleary air like a knife.
"You, you brought him here," he growled.
"Padme, move away, he's not who you think he is, he will harm you!"
"The Jedi turned against me, don't you turn against me!"
"Anakin, no, no, Anakin, no…"
"The late Palpatine was right, sometimes it is the closest to you that you cannot see."
With his gloved hand, he made a fist, and she couldn't breathe.
"I loved you too much to see you, to see what you are, you traitor!" he roared.
"Anakin, let her go!" Obi Wan shouted.
"As you wish," he snarled, waving his hand and sending her slamming against the bulkhead of the sleek Naboo cruiser. "I will deal with her later."
Both of them drew their blades.
"You, you turned her against me!" Vader accused.
"You did that yourself!" Obi wan spat back.
Blade flashing, Vader ran forward and crashed into Obi Wan, but having his lightsaber blocked at the last moment. Blades clashed, the identical blue streams of light twirled in complex patterns that would have confused an ordinary person, but was like doing a stretch to both of the duelers right now.
In every exchange, Obi Wan gave ground, being forced back by Vader's cyan fountain of energy. Thrusting his hand forward Vader force pushed Obi Wan back into the Seperatist Control Bunker, and charged in after him.
"Your powers are no match for the power of the dark side!" he taunted. He made a gesture and a control panel was ripped from a nearby table and flew at Obi Wan, but was intercepted midway by a similar object.
"I've heard that before, but I never expected I would hear that from you!"
Raising his left hand, Vader concentrated on force lightning with his real hand. Sparks of electricity sparked out and flashed at Obi Wan, being intercepted by the blue sheet of energy and redirected on the ceiling.
"I am the master now!" Vader cried out. "Experience the danger of the dark side!"
Bolts of lightning continued to be hurled out of his hand, and soon Obi Wan was forced back into a corner. Halting his force lightning attack, Vader charged forward and whipped out his second lightsaber, the one he had taken from Ventress when he had killed her on Yavin Four.
Wielding two lightsabers, he twirled both of them around and continued slashing at Obi Wan, until their blue blades locked. Obi Wan strained, but he didn't seemed to be able to hold against Vader's lightsaber. Ah, wait a second, why am I pushing against a guy with a metal hand?
Changing tactics, he force pushed Vader back, and jumped outside the side door to a balcony. Whirling back, he raised his blade to block any attack made by Vader when suddenly a red flash cut through the air. Ventress' lightsaber, thrown by Vader cut through Obi Wan's skin and cut his left arm off. Staring in shock at the stump that was his left hand, Obi Wan stumbled backwards as Vader stalked towards him.
Raising his blade, he was about to end Kenobi's pitiful life when suddenly a voice sounded behind him. "Drop your lightsaber or die!" "Roger roger!"
Whirling around, he force pushed the two battledroids backwards, and that second was all Obi Wan needed. Leaping up, he jumped over the battledroids and into the control room , running for the transport.
"No!" Vader cried in outrage, but before he could give chase, the druids fired. Sidestepping, he threw out his left hand and force lightning flew from his hands in waves, his anger fueling the power of the lightning. Wave after wave of force energy pour out from his fingers and incinerated the battledroids, but it was too late, Kenobi had escaped.
