	Title: OSMOSIS (The Demon that is Me- rewrite) Author: Lisbev Timeframe: VERY AU Rots Characters: Anakin/Vader/Padmé, Shmi, Palpatine/Sidious Genre: Romance/Family Summary: Vader has brought back yet another assistant for his mother. Will he have to dismiss this one, too? Or can her angelic face & pure heart bring about some changes for the dark lord and his beloved mother? Notes: 1)This was formerly titled The Demon That is Me, which I posted for a brief time on FF.net but then removed it & reposted under Osmosis for the rewrite. 2) I am intending for this to be a fluffy Romance/Family story with some minor elements of humor and angst. 3) This is my very first fanfic & I haven’t the slightest clue as to what I’m doing, so all constructive reviews will be very much appreciated. OSMOSIS: A gradual, often unconscious process of assimilation or absorption. Ch 1 - Reality It looks like a mother and father, each carrying a child in their arms. "Is it them?” I whisper to myself as my eyes struggle to focus on the blur that seems to be approaching my home. “Yes it's them!” I exclaim in excitement then hastily scurry outside to greet them. “You’re home, I’ve missed you so much.” I quickly embrace my son and his lovely wife after they set the two little angels down beside them. “And where are my beautiful grandbabies!” I crouch down, extending my arms to the precious little boy and girl standing just a few feet from me. “Do you know how much grandma loves you?!” I ask as they waddle over to me and the three of us share sweet hugs and kisses. After I release my grandchildren, I gaze up to see their father standing just steps away. The love shining through his sapphire eyes tells me that … it’s Ani, my beloved son. My Anakin is back and Vader is gone, defeated. I say a silent prayer to the Force, thanking the benevolent entity for sending the three miracles that have helped my son come back. “Mom, I’m sorry for waking you … ” Anakin lightly tapped his mother’s shoulder to wake her. “It’s okay, darling. Is something wrong?” Shmi asked her son, who was already clad in his black Imperial regalia. “No, it’s nothing. I just have to make a trip to the Outer Rim and I won’t be back for 3 days.” “Alright, please be safe. I love you, darling.” Shmi said as she got out of bed to hug her son goodbye. After Anakin left, Shmi got back into bed and sighed, it was just a dream, again. The reality was horribly different. He was Anakin only to her, but to everyone else he was Darth Vader. He was a ruthless Sith Lord of the Galactic Empire and there was NO lovely wife or beautiful children … there was only the Emperor. It broke Shmi’s heart to witness what Anakin had turned into, but she refused to abandon him. He was twenty-two now, but in her heart he would forever be her baby boy and she would live out the rest of her days by his side. She knew that if she were to desert him, he would only plummet further into the darkness. No, she had to help him fight this. She admitted to herself that she didn’t know how, but nevertheless she was not going to give up. She knew with every fiber in her being that he would return to the light one day. It was only a matter of time. - - - GEONOSIS Vader was pleased to find that the Geonosians were producing the droids at the rate they had promised. Everything was in order so he was able to return to the Executor within the three day time frame. He had been traveling for only a half an hour when an alert on the cockpit panel started flashing. Kriff! The RCZ-900 unit has died and the Executor is another 2 hours away! Realizing that his starfighter wouldn’t last the two hour trip without having the unit replaced, he quickly decided to stop on the closest planet to get it replaced. Tatooine, he hated this place. It was a miserable, hot dust ball that was good for nothing. Vader ran a hand over the smooth dome of his black helmet-mask. He absolutely loved how gruesome this mask made him look and sound. After a few moments, he decided against putting it on. The boiling heat of this planet … my brain would cook in this thing for sure. With that last thought, Vader made his way to Mos Eisly, the planet’s spaceport and flea market hubbub. Vader stepped in to parts shop. He was taken by surprise when a strange feeling of tranquility began to wash over him. This was not a feeling he was used to. The only times he felt this way was when his mother was near. Anger was what usually flowed in him, allowing raw power to surge throughout his being. The place was stacked to the ceiling with machinery parts. To the side was an archway which opened up to the outside. Though he was looking through archway at an angle, he could spot some more machinery parts out there, perhaps the bigger ones that didn’t fit in the shop. There was a hideous Toydarian creature with wings flapping about the store and two others busy doing something towards the back of the shop. The creature was in a heated conversation with a human male. “I told you before, she’s not for sale.” The bug creature spat. “Come on Watto, I’ll pay you 15,000 credits. That’s a thousand more than what you paid for her whole family!” The human continued, sounding frustrated. “NO WAY! What part of NOT FOR SALE do you not understand?!!! Beat it Turai!” With that the human stormed out of the shop. Then Watto turned his attention to the tall man clad in black armor, “how may I help you sir?” “I need an RCZ-900 unit.” “I sold the last one a month ago, but another one is due to be delivered in about two hours. Those are hard to come by so it’ll cost ya.” The creature responded. “Money is no object. I’m going to take a look out there, let me know when the part arrives,” Vader replied before he headed out the archway. Vader stepped out the back and was immediately in awe of the sight before him. It was a sea of machinery parts that seemed to go on forever. He had enjoyed building and fixing machines since he was a kid. This, coupled with the strange tranquility awash over him, he felt as if he could spend days rummaging through this place. There were a few creatures and people scattered about looking through the parts yard as he was. A small form rushed past him, it stopped at the end of the isle and began tugging at one of the parts. Although its back was to him, he could tell it was a human girl. Her long, brown hair was braided and she was wearing a blue peasant’s tunic with black leggings. She continued to pull at the object, which was wedged between other items and appeared quite large, especially for her tiny stature. Little dope-head, you shouldn’t do that, Vader thought. She finally got it out, but the weight of the object made her legs buckle under. She stood up, dusted herself off and somehow managed to gather the object back into her arms. There was a rumbling noise. The item she had pulled from the heap of parts had displaced everything, making for a very unstable pile of junk. While the girl was still trying to steady herself, the parts began to topple over. Vader rolled his eyes, but decided to help out. He waved his right hand, the objects floated in the air for a second before they fell back into place. The girl briefly stared up in amazement then continued to struggle with holding the object. He shook his head at the pitiful sight and sauntered toward her. Oddly enough he was in a good mood for once and again decided to help. Vader arrived just in time to catch the object as it sliped through her arms, “I’ve got it.” He straightened up and looked at the girl. Gods! He gasped, his breath caught in his throat. His vision began to tunnel, everything around him seemed to disappear. She was BEAUTIFUL beyond words. He was sure he was seeing things. The stifling heat was getting to him mentally and affecting his vision. Drawing in a deep breath, he closed his eyes then opened them again. She still looked the same ... beautiful, like an angel. “Thank you, sir,” she said with a half smile as they headed back inside the shop. Vader placed the large, heavy part on the counter. “Here’s your part, sir,” Watto informed the customer who was waiting for the large machine part. Then he turned his attention back to the girl, “Useless slave! What took you so long?” Watto spat then flapped toward another customer that had just walked in. “I’ve told you before Palo, if you’re here to buy something then fine. But if you’re here just to chat with her then bug off!” Watto scolded the human male. The customer stopped at the counter, “No, I need a part for my … um … hover bike. Padmé, could you find me a … a … um … an ignition coil?” “Padmé,” Vader whispered to himself. “Hi Palo, your bike is a Hover-B3, right? I’ll be right back,” Padmé looked through some drawers towards the back of the shop then returned momentarily. “Here you go, it will be 5 credits please.” Watto snatched the 5 credits from the human’s hand then flapped to the back of the shop. The customer turned towards the girl as they began talking. Interesting, Vader took notice of the girl’s knowledge about machine parts. He hovered at other end of the shop, pretending to look at the machinery parts. He tried to make out what Padmé and the customer were saying, but they were speaking so softly he couldn’t hear a single thing. He just heard them giggle now and then making him a bit tense. He casually strolled closer to where they were. He was so focused on the two people that he failed to notice a large metal pipe on floor. His foot rolled over the pipe causing him to lose his balance slightly. He stumbled onto a pile of nearby parts. CLICK, CLANK, BONK! “Oh my! Are you okay sir?!” Padmé scurried over to Vader. “Yes, I’m fine,” Vader felt the blood drain from his face. Look who’s the dope-head NOW! Padmé kneeled down to gather the parts that where now scattered about. Vader hesitated, should I help? He was Lord Vader, he didn’t clean up messes, he created them … lots of them and really big ones, too. He let out a sigh before crouching down. He was convinced that the oppressive heat had cooked his brain, making him insanely nice and he didn’t like it, not one bit. After a short while the parts were restacked back into place except for one. Both Vader and the girl reached for it at the same the time. Their hands touched and their eyes met for a brief moment. “Oh! I’m sorry, excuse me,” Padmé quickly withdrew her hand, her face blushed a lovely rosy hue. Vader felt a strange warmth lingering on the hand she had touched. Just then another customer walked in, forcing her to return to her post at the counter. “I’ll let you get back to work, see ya later Padmé,” Palo waved to her as he exited. “Bye Palo,” she said while the new customer approached her. They spoke briefly before she dashed out the archway. Vader also headed out to the parts yard, although this time he was no longer interested in anything out there. He now found himself wandering aimlessly around the yard. His mind was completely preoccupied with thoughts about the girl. Now he understood what Watto was talking about. He wondered what nasty creature was gawking at her now. She had already stunned him with her unfathomable beauty. Now he was baffled at how calming her Force presence felt. It was so pure and full of radiant light, like his mother’s. To top things off, she was knowledgeable about machine parts. A female, knowledgeable about mechanical things … that’s different. “Sir? Your part is here,” Vader looked up as her melodic voice called to him from the archway. An unexplainable feeling of dread started to trickle over him. Why? He would be leaving soon, this was a good thing, right? “You can go home now,” Vader overheard Watto tell the girl as he reentered the shop. “Alright, good night,” Padmé responded then left through the front door. “HELLO? 30 credits, please,” apparently Vader had tuned Watto out completely. He slapped down the credits and quickly exited. Wait, I still need help with … er, droid parts. He hastily scanned the boisterous vicinity but she was nowhere in sight. Gone. -----signature----- Dutiful Padawan of Darth_Leia_6669 Forever - A/P Fluffy Vig - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28887666/p1 OS - V/P AU - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b10476/28479731 SB - Aotc/Rots AU - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28579788

	Very interesting twist to the story. I loved Shmi's devotion to her son and her belief she can help turn him back to the light. It's nice to see Padme still having an effect on Vader. If you have a PM list for this, please add me. Looking forward to more -----signature----- "Do or do not, there is no try."

	Author Response: KELIA ~ I really want to express my humble thanks for giving this story a chance. A/N: My apologies that this chapter and the next one (ch-3) are so short. I had to separate them that way because there's a small jump forward in the timeline of this story. Ch 2 - Droid Parts It was dark when Vader returned to his space craft, making it impossible to work on the repairs. He was forced to wait for the long night to pass. Vader was relieved when morning finally came, allowing him to start repairing the ship. He finished the repairs after a few hours then decided to head back to Watto’s shop. Threepio would definitely benefit from some adjustments, he reminded himself. Surely the girl could help him with this. Vader drew in a deep breath before stepping into the shop. Her Force presence seemed different today, but she was standing right there, her back to him. “Hi Padmé, I was wondering if you could help me find some parts for my droid,” he asked from the edge of the counter. “Padmé is home sick today. I’m Sabé, her sister,” an attractive young lady turned around to respond. She bore a striking resemblance to Padmé, though she wasn’t as beautiful. “She’s got a strange fever, but she should be okay in a few days. May I help you with anything?” Sabé asked as she took notice of the young man’s handsome features. “I came to see if she could help me pick out some parts for my droid, but I guess that won’t be necessary anymore.” Vader stated, feeling disappointed that he wouldn’t be able to get the parts for 3PO. “I could help you, I work here, too.” Sabé informed him. “No, that’s alright, I really need to get going. Could you just tell her … uhh … goodbye and thank you for helping me?” Vader asked, although he was unsure why he even bothered. “Sure, what’s your name?” Sabé replied with amusement, figuring that his real purpose probably didn’t have anything to do with droid parts. Vader had to think for a second. He no longer referred to himself as Anakin, but he didn’t want to reveal that he was Darth Vader either. Tatooine was part of the Outer Rim, news about the galaxy’s state of affairs rarely traveled this far, but he thought it would be better to play it safe just incase. “Umm … Skywalker. Tell her I’m the one that knocked down the stack of parts over there.” The embarrassing incident had a purpose after all. - - - NABERRIE HOME “Little Sis, how are you feeling?” Sabé sat at the edge of Padmé’s bed and put the back of her hand to her forehead. “Better, I think,” Padmé responded in a groggy tone. “Who’s this Skywalker guy,” she stared at her sister intently. “Huh? I don’t know what you’re taking about,” Padmé was genuinely confused. “The one that knocked down the stack of parts? He wanted me to tell you thank you for helping him. He’s quite the looker. Where did you find him?” Sabé grinned mischievously at her baby sister. “He’s a customer. Help him? I didn’t help him with anything. He actually helped me carry a heavy machine part from the yard to the counter.” Padmé blushed at the thought. “Anyways, he also said to tell you goodbye. Although I have a feeling he’ll be coming back after awhile,” Sabé smiled again. Padmé rolled her eyes in disbelief. She had decided she wouldn’t bother telling her sister how she felt. Truth was she really did find the young man to be quite handsome. He had a powerfully built frame and his sapphire eyes were the most beautiful shade of blue she had ever seen. You silly girl, she scolded herself. She would not allow herself to think of him anymore. Why would someone like him ever want anything to do with a slave girl. “Rest so you can get better, baby sister,” Sabé said. She got up from the bed then exited and closed the door behind her. She shook her head in amusement. Padmé was 18 already, but she was as clueless as a 10 year-old child. - - - The EXECUTOR STAR DESTROYER SPACE STATION Vader arrived at The Executor later that night still feeling disappointed that he wasn’t able to get the parts for 3PO. He returned to his quarters, freshened up then headed towards the far end of his quarters. “Hi Mom, I’m back,” he hugged his mother and kissed her cheek. “Darling, you’re late. Is everything okay,” Shmi asked her son. “Everything’s fine, one of the engine parts malfunctioned so I had to stop on Tatooine to get it replaced.” Anakin explained. “Ani, you look tired, you should get some rest,” she suggested. “Rest sounds great, I'm exhausted. See you later. Love you,” he kissed her check again before returning to his bedroom at the other end of the long hallway. Shmi was relieved to see her only son come back safe. Anakin was more than capable of taking care of himself, but he was the second most despised man in the galaxy, making him a constant target of rebels. -----signature----- Dutiful Padawan of Darth_Leia_6669 Forever - A/P Fluffy Vig - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28887666/p1 OS - V/P AU - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b10476/28479731 SB - Aotc/Rots AU - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28579788

As you probably know already, I’m a HUGE fan of your work & I absolutely LOVE your story, PURGATORY. Thank you so much, I can’t tell you much your comment means to me. Quigonjecca Wow! I really, really love the AU twists you're taking here. If you decide to do a PM list, please put me on it! YAY! I’m so happy this story has sparked your interest. Thank you for giving this story a chance. BTW I love Qui-Gon too, he's also one of my favs. * AUTHOR's NOTE: This chapter isn’t sad, but I was sad when I wrote it. I’m an Anakin/Padmé purist at heart & to write about them in any other light (even if it’s very meaningless and minor) just breaks my heart. BUT, a dear friend of mine who used to write in the Harry Potter fandom told me that I need to be BRAVE & delve into the characterization of the characters or the story will end up being boring and flat. Ch 3 - Taking Care of Business SIX MONTHS LATER. Palpatine summoned Vader to return to Coruscant. He was going on a mission and needed Vader to oversee the day to day operations of the Imperial Palace. Vader’s presence was a must when Palpatine was gone. The last time Palpatine left Coruscant the rebels ran amuck, causing extensive damage. Vader dreaded Coruscant, it was all about politics and he hated politics. Talking was not his style; action was what he did best. It was a great relief to him that his assignments were more military in nature. Palpatine allowed him complete command of the troops and supervision of all the weapons details, including the Death Star project. It was late when Vader and his mom arrived on Coruscant. He went straight to his penthouse to rest. Except for a few hours here and there, rest was just not possible on the space station, especially with the construction of the Death Star underway. Sleep came easy, as his body needed it. The only problem with sleep was that once in a while he would have strange dreams of the Tatooine girl. “Padmé,” he uttered in his sleep then suddenly woke up. KRIFF! There she was invading his dreams, again. He tossed about in bed, feeling increasingly frustrated. Maybe I just need to get laid, he thought. He decided it was time to put an end to this. He would take control, get down to business, starting tomorrow. Besides, he was back on Coruscant for the time being and this place was swarming with attractive women. There were women on The Executor but one, he was just too busy. Two, the space station although it was as large as a city, it was closed off and it would be impossible to just love ‘em & leave ‘em. He just didn’t have any tolerance for clingy women. - - - TWO WEEKS LATER Vader was quite relieved that his master was due to return in a few days. He could resume his post on The Executor and be rid of all the insanity. The days were filled with boring debates among Palpatine’s hand-picked counsel. The nights were even worse. Vader had taken care of his “business” quite a few times, but now he needed his personal space again. Each of the women begged to see him again, but he had had enough. The women always wanted to cuddle and talk afterwards. All the whining and pouting was getting on his last nerve. And truth be told, the romps were nothing spectacular. As usual he picked the pretty girls with nice bodies, but somehow he still felt unsatisfied as if something was missing. It’s quiet for once, Shmi thought to herself. She didn’t hear any noises coming from Anakin’s room, which meant he didn’t bring anyone home with him. She sighed at the thought of her son being with so many different women. He was like this every time they returned to Coruscant. She never said anything to him though. She felt it wasn’t her place to meddle in his relationships, or lack of it, rather. He was a grown man, after all. It seemed to her like he just used these women for sex and it didn’t help that they kept throwing themselves at him. He was quite attractive and the 2nd in command in the Empire. What could be better? Besides, even though he is the Emperor, who in their right mind would sleep with disgusting vermin like Palpatine? Anakin started this behavior at the tender age of seventeen. Shmi had hoped it was just a phase he was going through, but it had continued for over five years now. Maybe it’s the way of the Sith, this thought truly sadden her. Love was such a glorious feeling, and she really wanted Anakin to experience it. Force, please. Shmi prayed to the mysterious entity, pleading that it send someone for her son. Anakin was still in there, that’s who he was when he was with her. If he had the right girl to love him, she could help Anakin be stronger, and maybe their love could be strong enough to defeat the darkness in his heart. Tears escaped Shmi eyes as she lay in bed musing about this. This had been a dream of hers for many years now. A woman can dream, can’t she? She began to reminisce about her one true love. She wondered how he was able to love her when she was so broken. She had been shunned by everyone but him. He overlooked the fact that she was a lowly servant with a four year-old child. Their brief two years together was more than just bliss. They were to be married when he returned from the war, but unfortunately it waged on for five years and he never returned. She reminds herself everyday that he was dead, but her stubborn heart refuses to let go. She still had dreams that he would come back to her one day. A woman can dream, can’t she? These dreams were what kept Shmi from going insane, so every night she allowed herself to be indulged. Day after day, and year after year. -----signature----- Dutiful Padawan of Darth_Leia_6669 Forever - A/P Fluffy Vig - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28887666/p1 OS - V/P AU - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b10476/28479731 SB - Aotc/Rots AU - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28579788

	Helen_Taft Yikes! I shudder even at the thought. You have an excellent writing style, Lisbev. Keep it up. I'm really anxious for Vader to encounter Padme again. I love the fact that I can't guess how you're going to progress their relationship--which certainly keeps me hooked. Yeah, the visual of Palpy is pretty darn nasty. Again, I’m humbled by your kind words about my writing. As you can see, I’m huge fan of ultimate AU also, cause like you said, it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen. Exactly the reason why I love your story PURGATORY so much. KELIA I share Vader's thoughts about politics and politicians, though I have no sympathy he's stuck dealing with both. ”These dreams were what kept Shmi from going insane” At least she has them. Great update. As far as the lack of sympathy for Vader, I agree he put himself in that position after all. It’s the price you pay for being Palpy’s right hand. Yeah, poor Shmi, she’s been through a lot. I was so sad when she died in AOTC, it truly believe it was her death that started Anakin’s road toward the darkside. Thank you again. nabooqueen2008 I like this story. It's fresh and different! YAY! Thank you for giving this story a chance, I’m thrilled that like it thus far. Ch 4 - Return to Tatooine ANOTHER 6 MONTHS Vader and his mother had been back on The Executer. The Empire’s rule continued and was getting more powerful with Vader’s ruthless, military efficiency. Vader decided he would try to return to his quarters early tonight. He had assigned a new personal assistant for his mom three weeks ago and was curious to see how things were going. He was at the command bridge most of the time, so his poor mother was quite lonely. And besides, he didn’t want her doing anything laborious. “Mom, where’s Arrie?” “She was going to get some refreshments for me. She’ll be back soon.” Shmi replied nervously as feeling of uneasiness began to creep into her stomach. That poor girl, he’s going to be upset. Vader didn’t trust his mother, she was too kind. He stepped out into the hallway of his quarters and turned on the sliding doorway monitor. This device kept a holo-record of all entries and exits into his quarters. He had designed this device as a security shield for his mother, but it turned out to be quite handy in tracking the whereabouts of her personal assistants as well. “Mom, it shows she’s been gone for nearly an hour!” His face was tense and his eyes were on the verge of turning yellow. “Ani, it’s okay, I told her she could take her time.” Shmi pleaded to him but he just stormed out. Vader quickly located the girl's Force signature then proceeded to go retrieve her. She was in one of the dinning halls chatting away with a group of people. He came up behind her, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her out. She didn’t even have time to react. “Lord Vader, I’m so sorry, please have mercy on me.” The girl began to cry as he continued to drag her back to his quarters. “You will apologize to my mother, NOW!” Vader bellowed at the girl. “No Ani, please darling, its fine, just let her be,” Shmi pleaded again. “I’m so sorry, please forgive me, milady.” Just as Arrie finished the sentence Vader dragged her back outside the main hallway. The door slid shut, Shmi heard a loud shriek then there was total silence. Overwhelmed by grief, Shmi hurried back to her bedroom, barely making it to her bed as her body went limp from sorrow. She began to sob the minute her head hit the pillow. How many more people had to die because of her? She had warned Arrie not to stay away too long. Her mind drifted to Mia, the girl that was her assistant six months ago. FLASHBACK “Mom, what are you looking for?” Vader asked. “My Nubian Moonstone ring, I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Oh Ani, I’ll be devastated if I can’t find it.” It really was her most cherished piece of jewelry. It was a very rare stone from their home planet of Naboo. Anakin had given it to her when he was only 10 years old. He was swimming in a lake when he saw a shimmer coming from the down below. He courageously swam under and got it. He molded the ring himself, mounted the stone and later gave it to her as a birthday gift. “Milady, I’ll be in my room if you need anything else.” Mia had just finished organizing some things in Shmi’s closet. “What’s this on your finger, how dare you try to steal that from my mother! Give it back, NOW!” Vader demanded. “Oh, Ani I forgot. We were cleaning out my jewelry box earlier and I forgot that Mia asked to try it on,” Shmi tried to explain. “Looks like you’ve conveniently forgotten to give it back,” he yelled at the poor girl. “I would never, please, I just forgot …” tears streamed down Mia’s face. Vader dragged the girl out of his quarters and Shmi never saw her again. Of all the girls, Shmi felt the worst about Mia, knowing that her mistake had cost that girl her life. - - - Later that night Vader lay awake in his bed, wondering if he would ever find a decent assistant for his mom. He never wanted his mom to see him angry, but these stupid girls refused to stop testing his patience. She was a simple woman; she was kind and never asked for much. Yet they failed every time. She wanted companionship more than anything else. They just needed to be a friend to her, that’s all. How hard could that be? If the galaxy wasn’t so dangerous out there he would let her take a vacation on their home planet of Naboo or some other nice planet. He hated having her cooped up on The Executor. Space was a constant black void that would quickly dampen anyone’s spirit. Currently the only change of scenery for her was Coruscant. Although she was confined to their apartment on Coruscant, there were windows at least that she could look out and see the skyline. He really wished she could have more freedom, but it was just too dangerous. His mind drifted back to the horrify time when she was abducted and tortured. He was barely 19 at the time and they were still living on Naboo. He hadn’t quite finished the Sith training yet, but he sensed a lot of pain in her Force signature one day. It took a whole day for him to locate her, but he made it in time to save her. He was so full of rage that he killed the whole tribe of people that abducted her. He swore that he would take every precaution to prevent this from ever happening again. After that incident Palpatine bestowed upon him the title of Darth Vader and deemed him ready to run the military aspects of the Empire. With that last memory Vader drifted off to sleep. - - - A few days later Vader had to make a trip to Kamino, a planet that was on the Outer Rim area of the Imperial domain. He needed to check up on the progress of the additional clone troopers his master had commissioned to be produced. The project proved to be moving along as planned, so he made a quick report to Palpatine then proceeded to return to the space station. Two hours into to the trip the starfighter’s gas gauge peeped signaling it was low on fuel. KRIFF! He had forgotten to refuel before leaving and he still had another two hours to travel. What should I do? Return to Kamino … or Geonosis, that’s a bit closer … OR Tatooine … After refueling the ship, Vader found himself advancing towards Watto’s shop. I’ll finally be able to get those droid parts for 3PO, Vader was glad he had remembered about that. “Where’s Padmé?” Vader’s eyes scanned the shop but didn’t see her anywhere. “Those beasts kidnapped her! We’ve been searching for two days but … ” Sabé sobbed. -----signature----- Dutiful Padawan of Darth_Leia_6669 Forever - A/P Fluffy Vig - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28887666/p1 OS - V/P AU - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b10476/28479731 SB - Aotc/Rots AU - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28579788

	Those beasts kidnapped her! Uh oh! I have a feeling "those beasts" aren't going to have a much more brutal death this time around. I just hope Padme is alright.
