4 ABY - The Death Star

"Oh Ani…What have you become?" She whispered.

It was often that Vader was haunted by visions of his wife, though he knew it was all in his mind. Padme haunted him every single day - it was a constant reminder that he had killed her and ruined everything, it was what fueled his hatred, his anger.

"I am what he made me." Vader mumbled back, his tone softer with her but his robotic voice made it seem so terrifying. He watched as he saw his heavily pregnant wife standing in front of him, as she once was in that final encounter on Mustafar, she was so…beautiful.

"What you made." She corrected him. "Anakin, what are you doing?! To yourself? To our children?!" She begged, using his first name.

"Anakin Skywalker is dead! He died with you." He warned, pointing to her. Padme clenched her jaw, one hand on her stomach and the other moving to his robotic chest.

"No. He is still in there…as am I." She whispered. "Like I begged you on Mustafar, I beg you now. Please don't do this, you are a good person. Stop this now and save our children, save our babies Anakin."

His anger filled up at the sound of his former name, at the thought of her being gone, if only he had just listened to her that day on Mustafar. His rage was so out of control that he accidentally began force choking his wife once more. He watched as her hands moved to her throat, the tears in her eyes, he couldn't even stop. "Anakin please." She begged once more.

"Anakin is dead!" He yelled. "And so is my wife." He added again, before leaving the vision in his quarters and storming through the halls.

Leia had arrived onto the Death Star - filled with hatred, rage, anger. She was ready to put an end to all of this. As she hid in the corners trying to navigate her way around she was stopped by a familiar voice. "Leia." Luke whispered as he and Ben came up behind her.

"Luke?! What are you both doing here?" She asked a little annoyed, she didn't want them getting killed.

"We do this together, remember." Luke told her. She clenched her jaw before nodding, holding a blaster in one hand and the other over her lightsaber.

"Fine. But first we have to get Han and Chewie." She said simply. "I'm just trying to figure out how to get across the cargo without getting caught." Leia said, looking at the heavily guarded, open area.

"Leave that to me. I will deal with Vader, you get Han and Chewie out of here safely." Ben said simply, looking up at Vader in the distance.

"What? Ben, no. He'll kill you." Luke said not really being able to let go of Ben.

"It is time I face my former Padawan, Luke. It is time I face up to what I have been hiding from for 16 years." Ben added softly. Leia swallowed hard, they shared a look and she knew exactly what this meant. Hugging him tightly.

"Thank you, for everything Ben." She whispered, holding onto him. They all shared a moment before Ben looked at them, "Now go."

Ben walked through the hallways, hoping to just give them a chance, a chance to save Han and Chewie. A real fair chance at defeating the empire. It wasn't long before Vader had sensed him and had gone to find him. It wasn't long until they fought and it wasn't long until Vader had struck Ben down. "NO!" Luke had yelled as he witnessed it. Vader had heard and looked down - so that was who his son was, who Luke was. Now he had a face it was even easier for him to track them down. "Luke we must go." Leia said, grabbing his arm and pulling him onto the ship. Though Leia had thought it was time to face her father, it was not quite the time just yet. Ben had shown her that, though sad that he was no longer with them, he had guided them every step of the way.

As they attempted to fly the ship away, Vader had stopped them by using the force. "What is happening?" Luke asked as he tried his best to fly the ship, but it was being pulled back hard. Leia, held onto Han knowing he was weak from Vaders torture. Turning her head back she swallowed hard, "It's Vader." She said softly. "Put her into Hyperdrive." Han said simply yet weekly. "It'll damage her systems." Luke told him back. "Nah, she'll be alright. She's a fighter." Han added again. Leia swallowed hard, she could hear the creaks of the ship being pulled in the opposite direction, she could feel the shakes of the ship, she had no idea what to do at this moment.

"ANAKIN STOP!" There she was, haunting him again. Appearing right in front of him, her tone harsh. "STOP THIS NOW!" She said firmly once more.

"Padme.." He whispered out, dropping his hand - as if he had forced him to do so. Even in darkness he had so much power over her.

Leia felt the ship relax, "Luke fly!" She yelled to her brother, as they flew off into space. Somewhere safe. Their mother had saved them, even if she was not really there, the visions Vader had of his love was enough to stop anything - at times.

When Vader had seen that they had slipped from his hands yet again, he grew furious and killed everyone in sight.
