Anakin stood in his room in front of the mirror as he took in his image. C3PO had done an amazing job with the costume he'd requested. If anyone saw him, they would be unable to recognize his face. The suit was completely black and made out of some sort of armor. It covered every inch of his body and even had a black cape he had been unsure about at first, but seeing it now, the former Jedi could openly admit it gave him a terrifying vibe which he would need when dealing with the people he was about to meet.

Black boots and gloves covered his hands and feet and the crème de le crème out of the outfit had to be the helmet which completed his outfit. The helmet was completely black and had no visible eye holes, but instead it had a darker front that was two way plastic. He could see out and yet nobody could see in. The helmet also had a sort of respirator that gave his breathing a deep echo sound along with his voice. Even Obi-Wan would have no idea it was actually him behind the suit. In Anakin's mind, it was absolutely perfect. It made him feel powerful.

With one last look in the mirror, Anakin turned on heel and headed out. It was about time to meet the group of Jedi haters down on the planet. He wanted to be a few minutes late to keep the anxiousness alive. The longer he made them wait, the more they would want to know who he was and what it was he wanted. It was an act of control and in a situation such as this, control was everything. Being able to get in to someone's head meant they were your puppet and Anakin was going to make them all his puppets so they would do his bidding with no questions asked. He would be to them what the Chancellor tried to be to him. The only difference was that Anakin was smart enough to know the Chancellors game and these ruffians probably couldn't rub two cents of intelligence together.

After letting the two droids know he was heading out, Anakin went down to the planet and met a small abandoned warehouse that hadn't been used in years. It was once a weapons plant for the Trade Federation, but it was no longer operational. Dim light filtered through the windows and all the men in the room turned to look at him when he used the force to open the doors. He wanted to be sure his entrance was remembered and by the looks on their faces he would be getting his wish. The men in the room, all different species, had a mixture of expressions on their faces. Some seemed frightened, other looked as if they were in awe, and then there were some who seemed unsure of what they felt. For the most they remained silent wanting to know why they had been summoned to this place and who this Lord Vader was.

"I can tell that you all want to know why I have called you here and I won't keep you waiting." Anakin told them as he entered the building entirely, his heavy boots echoing all around and off the walls. "I have brought you here because everyone in this room has one thing in common."

Before he could continue a rogue human smirked. "Our keen fashion sense?"

Instead of replying with words, Anakin, now dressed as his alter ego Darth Vader, raised his hand and squeezed his life out of the man. The others in the room watched in horror and nobody tried to intervene since they cared more about saving their own lives than doing the right thing and trying to save someone else. If remaining silent was the way to stay alive then that is exactly what they would do. If this Vader wanted something from them then they would at least hear him out and if they wanted no part of it then they would run, they would run because as tough as they may be, they were smart enough to know they were no match for someone with a deep connection to the force.

"If anyone else has something to say I would suggest that you don't." He said taking the time to allow the death of the man to sink in. "Now as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted; we all have something in common and that is our hate for the Jedi. Each and every one of you has at one time or another been screwed over by them and I say enough is enough. It is time to take back the galaxy that is rightfully ours. No longer are we going to live in terror and bend to their rules. It is time that we started making the rules. You want to know why I called you here? It is because you are the best at what you do. Whether it is smuggling, killing, or something else, you are the best at it and that is why you were on the radar of the Jedi in the first place. I am sure that you have heard about the attack on the Jedi temple and I will tell that was me. I alone have crippled the Jedi and now you have the chance to work with me and disable them permanently."

One of the braver of those gathered, a creature with multiple tentacles and the face of a man, spoke up. "You may have crippled the Jedi, but history shows they always come back. What if we don't want to get tangled in that mess? Why should we trust you over them?"

Anakin smirked under the helmet though nobody could see. He toyed with the idea of killing the creature, but he decided in the end that this creature would be more use of him alive than dead. All he had to do was strike a little fear in to him and he would have the creature right where he wanted him. "Who says that I was giving any of you a choice? You see, what you have to ask yourself is if you would rather be on the bad side of me or the Jedi. I think your dead friend on the floor will give you the answer you are searching for."
