"Destiny" Prologue E


A/N: If anyone actually knows what the doorway & ramp thing on the ships is called, please let me know!


Disclaimer: Not mine. I think I might have forgotten to put this in one (or more)of my earlier chapters; I know everyone gets the idea. I'll stop putting these in after the prologues. Promise! Unless I use something from somewhere else.
As Emperor Palpatine's ship landed, a black-clad figure strode to meet it. Clones lined up, forming an honour guard on the ground below the open hatch. Vader walked between the lines until he reached Palpatine, standing at the bottom of the ramp. He bowed.

"Excellent, my apprentice. There are none left to oppose us. The galaxy is ours!"

Sidious' voice angered Vader. 'He lied to me! He is alive, while my angel is dead! He will pay!' He masked his thoughts with images of Obi-Wan's death, Yoda's death; everyone who had opposed him. He was deep in the dark side.

Sidious extended his hand, holding out a lightsabre. "Your new weapon, Lord Vader."

Vader took the sabre in his left hand. He threw it, testing its shape, its balance… He ignited the sabre and held it up, bathing his face in crimson light. Then he swung it forward, and stabbed the unsuspecting Sidious. "No! The galaxy belongs to me!"


A/N: In response to a question from my brother: no, Yoda's not dead. Vader is just imagining that he is.
