Chapter 2

Vader keyed in the coordinates for Polis Massa on his datapad, cursing the clumsiness of his fingers whenever he made mistakes. That task completed, he leaned back and turned the viewing window to opaque so he could think. Vader knew Palpatine would be able to sense his turn back to the light, if he chose to do so. But he also knew he wanted Padme to accept him as he now was. Vader did his best to fall asleep with his loud respirator constantly humming on his chest. Soon, the TIE fighter began to beep as he neared his destination. Sitting forward, he turned the viewing window to transparent and looked upon the tiny asteroid that was Polis Massa. Setting up procedures for docking,

Vader waited to be granted access. He continued to wait until he felt something was wrong. Reaching out with the Force, he could feel the panic of the staff on Polis Massa, who hurried to prepare for the arrival of an Imperial Sith Lord. Also, underneath this fervor he could feel the calm of Obi Wan. This made hatred boil through Vader's veins. Punching the throttle, he flew into the hangar and docked without permission. He stormed from his craft and into the main reception of Polis Massa. A droid receptionist said, "Good Evening sir, How may I-." But the droid did not get any farther than that because Vader had crushed its head in within a steely Force grip.

Obi Wan hurried along a corridor with Padme, who was carrying the twins, Yoda, and Bail Organa in tow. He could sense Anakin's, or Vader as he was known now, hatred surging through the Force. Yoda said through gasping breaths, "Close, Vader is. Feel his anger, I can." Padme said, "Anakin is here? Obi Wan we must seek him!" Obi wan rolled his eyes, you can be Force choked and still love the Dark Lord who assaulted you, he thought. Saying nothing still, he moved through the second hangar door and into the room where Padme's personal trade ship was waiting. Obi Wan had just reached the bottom of the entrance ramp, and C-3P0 had just said, "Oh my!" when Darth Vader burst through the wall to his left, sending concrete flying everywhere. "Obi Wan! YOU WILL NOT TAKE HER FROM ME!", Vader screamed.
