Chapter 4 Vader's Apprentice

Disclaimer: I don't own star wars or SpongeBob Squarepants

Anna woke up to a cold dark cell that was slightly creepy. She immediately started to worry, where was she? Did every one escape alright? Is Katie dead? The last thought really scared her because she didn't want her best friend to die. Her thoughts were interrupted when the cell door opened. In came Darth Vader himself. His long black cloak, as dark as star less night billowed in an invisible breeze. Anna was scared to be in his menacing presence. At the same time though, she was excited. This was her hero, her idol! She had always dreamed of meeting him! However at the same time she was frightened terribly that he was going to torture her. And in person, Anna thought that the breathing was just plain-old disturbing. She noticed that if you squinted your eyes as you looked at him, he looked like a boxy grim reaper. How ironic, the figure who brings death to many looks like the reaper! She thought.

Finally, Vader spoke , " what is your name girl?" he asked

" A-Anna" she managed to say for fear was clouding her mind. Vader paused, maybe he was thinking, Anna couldn't tell, for the mask, the evil expressionless mask made him emotionless for his prisoners. Only his actions showed his emotions.

Finally, he spoke again, " I have decided not to kill you, for now. I will test you to see if you are worthy enough to live." He paused then continued," your testing begins in ten standard-hours" Vader then left, leaving Anna all alone in the cold, dark cell. She told herself to be brave, not to cry. But she couldn't help it and soon she felt hot tears flow down her face as she tried to comfort herself by remembering the past……

XXXXXXX FLASH BACK XXXXXXX

"Hey I know!" Said Katie " lets do something stupid!"

"Like what?" asked Anna who was working the controls of the computer game they were playing.

" you should dress up in your Darth Vader Halloween costume and then you should dance in a music video to a stupid song!"

" what song?"

" hmm, how a bout the sponge bob square pants version of victory !"

" yeah, and then I could break dance, I can see it now, the hip-hopping' V-man"

"Ok lets do it"

Both run out of Anna's room to search for stuff they would need for the video and Anna's camera…….

XXXXXXX END OF FLASH BACK XXXXXXX

The memory still didn't calm her so she continued to think. Every thing had been taken away from her. Her friends both from this galaxy and earth, her freedom, her chance at a normal happy life. She told Katie that she didn't miss earth at all but she did. All she wanted right now was to go home ! with these thoughts she drifted into an uneasy sleep….

Anna woke up shortly before the guards came to collect her for her "tests". Two stormtroopers came in and binded her wrists behind her back. They then harshly forced and pushed her down the corridor to an empty room. They brutally shoved her to the floor and left snickering loudly over their helmet speakers. They went through the doors and then she was all alone. Vader's voice echoed through the small chamber, " if you survive this, I will not have you killed. If you don't survive then your already dead aren't you?" Anna gulped as the bindings fell off her arms, the result of them being automatically being called off from the observation room. This was going to bee hard and she could tell. Suddenly blaster fire ripped through the room. She dogged it for a little while until one shot hit her in the shoulder. The searing pain was so intense that she screamed and fell to her knees. That little injury filled her with hate and rage for the empire. Anna got up quickly and closed her eyes as she used the anger to disable the hidden laser guns. She siphoned her anger into a huge explosion that destroyed everything around her it even caved in one of the walls of the metal chamber.

Inside the observation room Vader watched with peaking interest. This girl was extremely force strong. She definitely deserved to live. She had even ended his long term search for an apprentice. He remembered his knew apprentice was hurt. He turned to the trooper standing next to him.

"Bring the girl to me" the trooper bowed shortly with his head and said

" it shall be done my lord" and left to fetch Anna.

When Anna opened her eyes she was in a pile of scorched rubble. Oh shit! Did I do that! She thought and then she felt a searing pain in her shoulder. Young Anna learned that pain is a very good memory booster because it all came back to her, the blaster bolt and the urge to destroy. The explosion, and she thought shame fully , the satisfaction she felt afterwards. She groaned to herself and thought, man I need to learn some control! She had never before realized she had so much raw power! Anna barley noticed when the seamless door opened because she was so deep in thought. A stormtroopers walked over to her. Anna was surprised he was actually nice.

" Please follow me" he said Anna complied and followed.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

She was taken to the observation room and led inside. She was greeted by none other than Vader himself.

"You did well on your test" he said as he started to pace around the room, " I wont kill you in fact I think you would make the perfect apprentice. It is your destiny to become a sith, you must join me and together we can over throw the emperor and rule the galaxy ourselves and continue the sith tradition." He said in a powerful voice. He then added, " if you join me we can free the people from the emperor's iron grip and give the weak like slaves their independence." Anna found herself believing him. Snap out of it Anna! He is evil and this is real, not a movie but real, if you make the wrong decision you could change the fate of the of the star wars galaxy! But he was to strong, she had to join .

Despite the pain in her arm she got down on one knee " I would be honored to be a sith, I pledge myself to your teachings." With those last truthful words said, it was complete , she was know bound to Vader as his apprentice, until death or she became a sith lord.

" welcome to the empire, child, we have to make some arrangements regarding your training, and we need to get your arm healed, follow me" said Vader. Anna quickly rose to her feet and followed Vader out the door to her new life.
