The Tempest flew back to Casper. On board the ship Maddie was looking intensely at the ground, she hadn't said a word since the encounter with Vlad and Danny was worried about her.
"Who...exactly was Vlad?" Asked Danny.
"Vlad used to be a fellow Jedi, who I trained alongside with back at the Jedi Temple. We were both from the Amitrax System and when the Clone Wars started we went back to our home system to defend it. I saw Vlad a few times during the war, but then we lost touched. After I escaped the Purge, the Manson family came across some information about a Jedi turning on his fellow Jedi and slaughtering them,before he turned himself over to the Empire and declared his allegiance to them. That Jedi turned out to be Vlad." Said Maddie.
"So...this Vlad guy is going to come after us." Said Danny.
"He will." Said Maddie in agreement.
"Vlad felt...different from anyone else I've sensed, why is that?" Said Danny.
"Vlad is a servant of the dark side of the Force. The dark side is the complete opposite of the light side of the Force. The light side is what the Jedi follow and it represents all the good emotion in the universe, while the dark side represents all the negative emotions in the universe. The dark side craves fear and anger and the more it has the stronger it will get." Explained Maddie.
"The Empire is controlled by the dark side." Said Danny.
Maddie nodded and the two were silent the rest of the way home.
On the Levantine, Vlad was in the kneeling position as he made a call to the only two people he feared in the universe. A life size hologram of The Emperor and Darth Vader appeared before Vlad and looked down at him.
"Plasmius, we have received your report about the Jedi women and her child. I am most displeased that you allowed them to escape with the Holocron." Said the Emperor.
"Master...I apologize for my failure. The boy was a bit more clever then I thought and his being taught by his mother to use the Force. I sensed the boy's power and I believe he will make a great asset, once I capture him and make him join the dark side." Said Vlad.
"You seem a bit overconfident in your abilities to capture the boy and convince him to join us. You wouldn't be planning something, behind our backs now, would you Plasmius?" Said Darth Vader as he raised his hand towards Vlad.
Vlad felt like their were invisible fingers around his throat fixing to squeeze and choke him as if Vader was standing in front of him instead of lightyears away.
"I...would never betray you two! I swore my allegiance to the Empire and you've rewarded me greatly over the years. I know we're my loyalties lie." Said Vlad quickly.
The Emperor smiled slightly and the invisible fingers seemed to let go of Vlad.
"Very well, you will be forgiven for this failure, but we expect results with these Rebels." Said The Emperor.
"I will destroy the Rebels my lord, but if it's not to much trouble may I request the aid of some Shadow Guard to assist me in destroying all the Rebels in my sector and any Jedi they may have working with them?" Said Vlad.
"I will consider your request, until then work with the tools and forces you have." Said The Emperor before he and the hologram of Vader vanished.
Vlad let out a little sigh as he stood up and walked out of the room to plan his next move to deal with the Rebels.
To be continued.
