Chapter 20
There are major spoilers from the line break, so if you don't want to see parts of what I planned for the futures of the ROTF characters, skip from the starting line break to the ending line break. I like taking elements from my favourite authors, like AngelDeasaray, so any of my favourite authors: If you see an element here from one of your stories, I'm sorry!
"So, Dooku, you are two steps away from becoming a Jedi again, well, you are a failure anyway and have too much Jedi in you, I wont need you anymore when Order 66 comes, you are no longer my apprentice!" Palpatine mumbled to himself as he came and saw Anakin and a medical droid
"Chancellor! Hey!" Anakin greeted
"You got hurt Skywalker?" Palpatine asked
"Yeah! But I don't know why do I have to give a injection" Anakin answered
"I need it" Palpatine mumbled darkly, so no one would hear him.
Anakin got his injection and Palpatine took the blood to his office, where he scowled darkly and asked Mas Ammedda, his assistant, and the only one in the republic who knew Darth Sidious's identity, to prepare his ship. He departed for Moraband, the ancient Sith Homeworld in which ancient Sith lords rested and their spirits haunted the place.
"Sidious! What do you want?" Bane, the creator of the Sith rule of two, the one Sidious followed, asked, as Sidious was walking toward Bane
"I want to learn the Sith quick cloning ritual!" Sidious answered
"So, you want a new apprentice, I can sense the force-strong blood, who did you acquire it from" Bane asked
"Anakin Skywalker, son of late Darth Plagueis, 27,700 midichlorians" Sidious replied
"Then, I will give you a vision of what will happen after you clone him, and use this move wisely!" Bane exclaimed as he disappeared
Sidious now had a vision that told him of what's going to happen for the next 30 years
—
"The Jedi are weak Skywalker! Now, I will prove that personally to all the Senators here! Execute Order 66!" Sidious exclaimed, now seeing himself sitting in his sitting place in the high court
"NO!" Anakin screamed, his plan failed, Sidious executed Order 66, he should've told the Jedi when he learnt of Sidious's identity two months ago
Many Jedi died at the hands of the clones, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Dooku and Ahsoka tried to escape, and Darth Vader revealed himself
"You have failed Dooku!" Sidious heard his own voice say as he was transported to a new scene, where he was duelling Skywalker
"Skywalker, surely you can do better, High Master Kenobi hold high regards for you!" Sidious taunted Anakin.
Anakin, in retaliation, kicked Sidious in the chest, who flew from one platform to another. That scene disappeared to another scene, he was in a medic bay, with a fallen apprentice
"Lord Vader, can you hear me?" He asked
"Yes, master" Vader answered, from his new robotic voice and he was breathing, which could be heard from his new artificial lungs "How long am I going to be in this suit?"
"Forever" Sidious sadly answered
"I will get my revenge on Kenobi!" Vader screamed through his new voice as he used the force to destroy every medical equipment
Sidious now found himself not talking, but a picture coming to his mind, he could see and hear it but not talk to it
He was on his space base, the Death Star. He saw a blond haired boy named Luke with a Wookiee named Chewbacca and a brown haired smuggler named Han rescuing a Senator
"Thanks brother!" Leia thanked, deflecting blaster bolts with her white lightsaber, which was given to Luke in the cell
"Now, let's get outta here sis!" Luke answered, cutting a door using Anakin's old lightsaber, now with a white laser
He saw himself purge again in a scene, where the Millenium Falcon, Han's ship, and the Twillight, Anakin's ship parked next to each other, Anakin and his second apprentice, a girl named Shira Brie, were hiding behind boxes on the right side while Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca were doing the same on the left. He then saw an old Obi-Wan duelling Vader. Vader struck Obi-Wan down
"Obi-Wan!" Luke shouted, getting the stormtroopers' attention. He killed some of the troopers with his saber until he deflected one and locked the door
All of the Jedi and Rebels went to their respective ship, and the Skywalker children noticed Anakin, but didn't call him, they both escaped to Yavin IV.
Sidious found himself on a throne then, in a newer Death Star, the Death Star II, saw Luke duelling with the same white lightsaber, now with a robotic hand, with Vader. Luke used his fury, a fast duel insured, similar to the a duel Yoda and Palpatine would. It was too fast for Vader and both of his hands got chopped off.
"Good, kill him" Sidious ordered Luke
Luke ignored him, but since he had no relation to Vader, beheaded him, knowing Vader as an enemy, and enemies must be killed, he stood there looking at where Vader's head was, until remembered his father wanted him alive
"What have I done?!" Luke asked himself
"You killed Vader!" Sidious answered
"My father wanted him alive!" Luke exclaimed
"Your father doesn't need to know, join me and we can kill those weaklings" Sidious gave Luke the choice
Luke thought for a while, looked at his robotic hand, he didn't want to join the dark side, his master, Ahsoka Tano, said that the Dark Side was their enemies and joining them was wrong but then, thoughts entered his mind that made it seem stronger, and so right.
He will join
"Yes… master" Luke hesitated
"Good, good! You will learn how to learn strength, Skywalker is weak! Henceforth, you will be known as Darth… Eius!" Palpatine exclaimed "Bow down to me"
Luke bowed down to his new master as the vision faded.

Palpatine found himself in an empty temple, still recovering, he left the temple
"If I clone Anakin, a good future awaits" Sidious scowled darkly as he arrived Byss, and to his Ritual room, he got the information on how to fast-clone people using the force while he was having the vision. He put the blood into a bowl of water, and started saying words he got into his head in the Sith'ari language. Few feet away, a bright light flashed, and immediately, the clone appeared, he was the same age as Anakin now, and he had the same descriptions, but sapphire-yellow eyes
"Who am I? Where am I?" The clone demanded
"You are with me on the planet Byss, I am your master, I created you, you will obey me, You are … Darth Vader" Sidious answered
"Yes master, I will obey you and accept you as my creator and master due to the Rule of Two, I am your apprentice" Vader said, remembering the information given to him in creation stage
"One day, you will replace Darth Tyranus, or Dooku as every one knows him, as my henchman" Sidious told his new apprentice
"Isn't that a breakage of the rule of Two?" The new apprentice asked, his eyes changing from Sapphire-Yellow to a pure Yellow-Gold
"No, he thinks he is still my apprentice, and he does not know of your existence, and he does not need to, not yet!" Sidious exclaimed the last two words with a dark emphasis
Sidious gave Vader a blood red lightsaber, it was a delicately crafted lightsaber with a blade similar to the Darksaber, a weapon used by the Visla Clan, but that one had a black laser, this one has a red one. Palpatine then taught Vader how to use his lightsaber. Anakin received a disturbance in the force
"What's wrong master?" Ahsoka asked
"I… I sense a disturbance in the force, Dark Times are ahead Ahsoka! We must prepare" Anakin answered
"Prepare for what?" Ahsoka asked
"The Sith" Anakin stammered
There would've been a black screen interrupting the picture if this was a movie, but it isn't. Anyway, the next time we are going to see Vader is as a cameo in the next chapter, spying on Dooku. NEXT CHAPTER: LUX AND AHSOKA (The Clone Wars: Season 4 Episode 14: A Friend in Need)
