" At last we meet again, Obi-Wan Kenobi. " Vader said with slight satisfaction.
He had been waiting for this moment for who knows how long. Obi-Wan scarred him for life.. and now Vader wants revenge.
He had succeeded once before, and he had no doubt this would be much different.
" So, this is what the emperor has done to you. Or was it the dark side? " Obi-Wan teased, withdrawing his saber from his belt.
Vader growled.
" Do not fool with me old man! You left me to die, now I will get my revenge! "
" Revenge for what? Betraying the Jedi? Betraying Padmé, and your - "
" Don't bring her into this! " Vader hissed and lashed out at Obi-Wan with his lightsaber.
So the fight began.
Sabers clashed, colours swirled, flips and leaps. It was all happening so quickly that you would have to watch it all again.
Vader paused. Holding his saber up in defence.
" Love meant nothing to the Jedi, but it meant everything to me! "
" What would you know about love? " Obi-Wan said.
" I suffer every day because of it. " Vader growled.
Again their sabers met. Obi-Wan trying with all his strength to hold Vader's lightsaber down.
" Why did you do this to her? She loved you. " Obi-Wan asked.
" I did it to save her, but you got in the way! " Vader said angrily.
" I got in the way? She chose to die herself.. she died because of you! "
The nightmare of Padmé he had many years ago, returned to him.
" How would you know that? " Vader's voice boomed.
" I was there when she died. I was there when she gave birth to your son. " Obi-Wan said slowly.
Obi-Wan was careful not to mention Leia, he knew telling him his son was still alive was enough.
Vader felt anger rising, which seemed to feed his strength.
" This is your end old man. I am the master now! " Vader said, pretending he didn't hear what Obi-Wan said.
" If you kill me, I will be stronger and more powerful than I am now. " Obi-Wan said, closing his eyes and reaching out to the force.
Vader didn't hesitate for one more moment, he swung his lightsaber to Obi-Wan's chest. As soon as it touched, Obi-Wan vanished. Vanished as if he faded into his robe, which was all that was left.
" NO! " he heard a voice scream.
Vader turned, and he saw a boy.. who looked just like him when he was about his age.
Vader's eyes swelled. He didn't want to believe it.
' Oh Padmé! Hear me Padmé.. Obi-Wan is lying isn't he? Please tell me. ' Vader reached into the force, hoping she would be there somewhere. A feeling.. a voice.. anything.
Then he felt it, it was growing stronger.
The loud roar of a ship taking off disrupted him.
The falcon escaped.
He didn't seem to mind so much, not now anyway.
Did he really have a son? Is there any other secrets Obi-Wan knew? Maybe.. he should of kept him for more negotiation. He knew Obi-Wan was good at that.
'" Anakin? "
Vader's heart must of skipped a beat. He felt like the last of his strength had drained away, just from the sound of that voice.
" Padmé? "
He turned, and was face to face with the one he loved.
She stared at him, her face full of sorrow. As if she didn't know who she was looking at.
" Please don't leave me Padmé! I'm sick of all this suffering.. stay with me. " he said, reaching out his hand.
Padmé stepped back. Her eyes filled with tears.
'" You're not Anakin. You're a monster! "
A tear managed to escape Vader's eye.
'" Please.. come back! I'll do anything -- '" his voice trailed as she faded away.
It was beautiful, yet tragic.
He felt like she wasn't really there, or was she?
