Chapter 16: Mean Sith of Tatooine
Another 5 days passed until Mark and Rachelle aboard the Consular-class space cruiser, that they have bring. Not only did they manage to take down the base that was making ships, but also they were able to put a major block into the Sith army with the destruction of the base. Hopefully with the destruction of the base it might ruin the Sith and Hutts relationship with each other.
Mark made sure everything on the ship was fine and okay. You do not know who could have been awhile taking stuff away from a ship. Jawas also are on the planet and they are as bad as those on Tatooine are. "I am going to get us up in space, and before we jump to Hyperspace, I am going to contact the Jedi Temple." say Mark as aboard Medical Droid wraps Rachelle's left leg into a cast.
As they got off the planet, he punches in the frequency to get in contact with the Jedi Temple. A hologram of the seats in the High Council room appears but only one of the seats has someone sitting in. It was Mace Windu.
"Mark, we thought something bad had happen to you since you made no contact in the past 12 days. "We ran into a little snag on the planet. We got capture by this criminal group of Rodians and they help us get to the base, and then betrayed us at the last minute and we explode the factory and Rachelle got to have her fun with driving very fast to get out of the blast zone. Then it took use five days to walk back." say Mark quickly summary up what has happen.
"So the Separatist will not be a problem anymore?" ask Mace. "Actually, it was not the Separatist, it was the Sith and Jabba. Apparently, Darth Vader went to Jabba the Hutt with a request to find people to build weapons and ships out of the junk on Raxus Prime. The Rodian group that help and betrayed us was one of them that been working on the base for 3 years now. If what the Rodians say can be trusted, then the Separatist haven't been on the planet since 18 BBY, a fact that Dooku would not know." say Mark.
Mace cracks a bit of a smile. "Here we thought this mission will not have any connections with Leia Skywalker. Did you manage to find anything for that mission?" ask Mace knows how Mark is with finding Anakin's daughter. "No, but there is something Rachelle have found before we blow up the base. I do not really feel safe talk or put over to you yet. We will talk about that when I get back to the temple." say Mark.
"Okay, the Council and I will be expecting you both back here on Coruscant soon." say Mace. "As long as there is no other trouble, after this transmission is done, we will be in Hyperspace heading directly to you." say Mark as he crosses his arm. "If there is any trouble I expect you of everyone would know how to handle yourself in situations. May the Force be with both of you and have a safe travel." say Mace. "May the Force be with you too." say Mark ending the transmission.
Mark punches in the coordinates to Coruscant into the computer. The computer made a route and the ship launches into Hyperspace. The dark black space that was litter with white stars changes into a bright white tunnel from the light of the stars being stretch.
"Master, what are you going to do if even talking to the Vice Chancellor does not lead you to Vader?" ask Rachelle. "Everything is connected in some ways and sometimes those ways can be unexpected. It might not lead me directly to Leia or Vader it might lead me to somewhere else and that might lead me to Leia." say Mark.
"What happens these clues just keep leading you around and by the time you find Leia she could be dead or turn and who knows how long that will take." say Rachelle. "No one is perfect. Not the Jedi nor the Sith. I could make a ton of mistake, all they have to do is make one wrong mistake and I can be on their tail. There are many variables here. There is the Hutts and the Vice Chancellor. Who knows maybe there are other people who have connection with the Sith Lord and we can use that to find Leia." say Mark.
"You still haven't answered my question about what if she is dead or turn?" say Rachelle. "I will still try to bring her back. Anyone can be redeemed from the dark side. If she dead, Force I hope she isn't, but I will bring her body back to her family so she can get a proper burial." say Mark.
"So Darth Vader could be redeemed?" ask Rachelle looking at Mark as she turns away from the viewports and look at her mentor. "Everyone in life begins out innocent. The innocence fades away as you get older base upon your actions. Darth Vader was made in the darkness. He was not born; he was made within the darkness. There is no light to redeem himself to. That is what makes him so dangerous. He cannot be redeem, the darkness flow through him as blood flow through every living creature out in the galaxy. Without that blood they die. Same thing with Vader and the darkness of the Dark Side." say Mark.
"There have been Sith that was born in darkness and still redeem themselves." say Rachelle. "Keyword is born. No matter who you are, where you were born, who and where you were raise. Everyone is born the same way. They are pure and innocent, which means that they were sided with the Light. If you look at everyone starts out being good and on the Light Side. Darth Vader had none of that. He was made of darkness. That like I reach out into the Force grab the Dark Side and put nothing but a Dark Side in a closed bottle that what Darth Vader is." say Mark. "You cannot just pull a part of the Force from itself. It is all around us." say Rachelle.
"I know, I was just comparing something to make it easier to understand. Darth Vader is unlike any of us. Let say you turn to the Dark Side, there is a chance that you can be redeem because you have had the Light Side within you and deep down inside of you still have it. I hate to admit it, but Palpatine must have some form of Light Side deep down inside of him. Way deep I must add." say Mark.
"Basically you are saying that Darth Vader could be the most powerful Sith the galaxy have seen because he is made up of the Dark Side?" ask Rachelle. "Possibly he has a mixture of mine and Sidious DNA in him so in theory he should possible be more stronger than me." say Mark.
Mark got up from his seat and walks back into the ship to the mini kitchen area and got a glass of water for both of them. He walks back and hands Rachelle a glass of water.
Darth Vader landed his shuttle in Mos Eisley in a hanger. He got out of his ship and walks through the largest town on Tatooine. Locals always gave it the nickname the armpit of the galaxy, most likely it a spaceport city that is full of criminal and various other scum.
Darth Vader walks through the desert city. People in white and light color clothing are moving around. When they see Darth Vader dress in black leather and black metals, they thought he was crazy to be out in the midday of a Tatooine day. The temperatures there reach well in the hundreds and on a bad day is very close to hundred. The heat does not bother Darth Vader at all because his suit made so that it will keep him cool or warm at all times no matter where he is.
He could be on an ice planet like Hoth with nothing but his armor and suit and it feels perfectly nice to him or he could be on the lava planet of Mustafar and feel like it is cool. He had experiences temperatures on Mustafar and they are far worst than those on Tatooine. Nothing, besides the stars, was hotter than the lava planet of Mustafar.
"Hey mister can I offer you some advance weaponry. It is good to protect yourself in places like this. Obviously, you are not around here. You must be sweating underneath that armor." say a male human.
Darth Vader raises his hand and tightens it in the fist. The guy begins to scratch his throat try to peel the invisible hands that is chocking him. "I think I am perfectly fine, and let your death be a reminder to all in this scum filled city, that you do not speak to me unless I speak to you. I am here on an important mission." say Darth Vader tighten his grip. There was a loud snap and the lifeless body of the guy hangs in the air until Darth Vader let go of the Force. The dead body falls to the ground.
Everyone stares at Darth Vader. They just witness him kill someone without touching him. Even the worst of the scums there would not dare to approach him, due to the fear for their lives.
Darth Vader walks over to a store that has a Speeder. It looks like it runs by a female human that have scars over her body. She was holding her son. "Give me a Speeder, or your pathetic life will be gone just as that foolish idiot." say Darth Vader. The lady out of fear presses a button and the Force Field around the Speeders fall down.
"Ta…take whatever you want. Yo…you can… keep it…. Free of charge." say the lady out of fear as she tightens her grip. "Better run go, if not when I come back you better be off this planet, or your life will be over." say Darth Vader so simple as if killing was an everyday topic as the weather.
Darth Vader walks towards the nearest Speeder and speed out of the store. Darth Vader speeds out of the town and up some high mountains that leads to Jabba's Palace which overlook the desert and the city at a distance. Darth Vader uses the Force to open the doors and walk in.
A bounty hunter points a blaster at him. Darth Vader waves his hand and the Bounty Hunter turns the blaster and shoots himself in the head. Killing him instantly. Darth Vader uses the Force and throws the dead body into the throne room of Jabba.
There was scantly clad women with chains around there neck. There were some by the look of their eyes they seem to be high on Death Sticks. Most of the women are humans and Twi'leks. The dead bounty hunter's body lay on top of the trapdoor to the Rancor Pit.
Everyone look at the entrance, which the body and Darth Vader just came through. The slaves, the scantly clad women, all know who he is from his one visit. It seems like everything became quiet and stop when walks in. Jabba looks up from the dead body and begins to talk. Darth Vader walks forward.
"I demand to know how come the Jedi has managed to get into the Raxus Prime base. I told you I want it secure that only the people we sent in there could get into it." say Darth Vader. Couple of the slaves around Darth Vader head pop like a balloon due to his anger and with the Force. Blood was squirting everywhere from the two slaves. The skin, muscles, lay down the sides of their neck as if someone peeled them from their skull as if their head was a banana. Their skulls were shattered to bits. Their bodies were laying in a pool of blood that is forming around Darth Vader's feet.
Jabba was talking to Darth Vader. "I do not give a damn who you are. I paid you for perfection that you promise and I expect perfection. The location of the base was completely secret even if it can be picked up from the noise of the machinery from sonar. The entrance was completely hidden from view!" snaps Darth Vader. People begin to back away from the Sith Lord so that they do not die like the two slaves by his feet.
Then Jabba begins to explain a group that was supposed to be killed, escaped and enlisted outside help. They was planning to attack him and the Sith alike. "If you value you pathetic life and want to stay on the good side of my Empire, I expect you and your pathetic Hutt Council to cough up 6 million credits that I have given you by the end of this month, or I will come and I will kill you and your whole criminal empire. To show you I am being serious!" snaps Darth Vader.
Darth Vader raises both of his arms and large arcs of Force Lightning went out from his arms and killed 50 people of the many people that were in the room. When the Lightning hit the walls the walls shock and were scarred.
Darth Vader leans closer to the Hutt. "Do not try any cheap crap with me either. There is nothing you can do to outrun me. I will hunt you down and kill you if I do not get that much money back. I supply your guards and bounty hunters with weapons that were made from that factory. I provide you with protection of some of my people that can use the Force. As of right now, all that protection from me is gone. Plus, if you keep it up, I will let the news out that you were in on the attempted assassination of Senator Skywalker in 18 BBY, and you know as well as I do that will put you in their crosshairs. I did you a favor by taking out those stations so you have more control over the Outer Rim." say Darth Vader.
That was not the only reason why he targeted the stations. He targets them so that they do not limit his movements and control over the Outer Rim either. He did not even know about the stations until Jabba came to him that his species been being taken in and he is not getting pay for it.
For once in his life, Jabba is slightly afraid. He knows dealings with the Sith could be very bad, but they paid a lot of money. The Hutt Council will not like this, because they are in favor of the Sith. The Sith have promise them control and riches beyond there dreams.
Even if he threatens the Republic to help him, if Darth Vader views that the Bounty Hunter that tried to assassinate Chancellor Skywalker before she became Chancellor, he will be gone to prison. He knows that there are Jedi out there who would love to see him in prison. The two major ones are Anakin Skywalker and Mark Alan Zane.
Darth Vader smiles as he walks out of Jabba's Palace. He knows Jabba is one of the most powerful Hutt in the Hutts Council and criminal empire. If he can scare Jabba, he could have the whole council under his thumb. If Jabba does not paid up, he will kill him off to show the rest of the Hutts Council what happen to those who does not back him up or keep their word. He got into the Speeder and races back to his shuttle to aboard his ship in space.
Just thought it was fine time to remind you all how evil, Darth Vader is. I am just wondering. Base upon what you already know about my Darth Vader and the Darth Vader in the Star Wars Saga, who is worst.
Powerwise, I say my Darth Vader because he have more options than the other Darth Vader. Unlike that Darth Vader this one can used the Force Lightning and does not depend on a life supporting suit. Plus it does not have the heavy weight of all the suit to hinder his fighting abilities like Darth Vader in the Star Wars Saga, because base upon Wookiepedia, after Anakin Skywalker was put in the suit, he have to change his style of fighting base upon the suit he was wearing.
I mean both of them are evil and deadly. I am not saying my is the best because I created him, I am truly being modest about this. I was just curious what you think about the subject.
Like usual, Til Next time, Enjoy.
