Summary: Darth Plagueis muses during the events of ROTS.
Anakin’s nemesis
Darth Plagueis smiled wickedly when he saw Anakin severing the head of Count Dooku.
‘Yes my apprentice, you have taught him well.
Soon, very soon he will be yours.
Good, those Jedi don’t see you’re evil.
You have clouded their vision well.
Going to Naboo after your first apprentice was killed and befriending Anakin was the best thing you did.
Swaying that Jedi-master Count Dooku towards the Dark side was the second best.
He has been a great help to you, providing you with your armies to fight the war.
I loved it seeing the galaxy erupt in war.
Those Jedi became generals and were fighting.
They abhor fighting.
Yes my apprentice, you were playing like a master puppeteer.
I loved how you set up those two lovers, getting Anakin to betray the rule of non attachment.
He could have told master Kenobi about his love.
Good that you didn’t try to convert Kenobi to the dark side.
That Jedi is a maverick like his Master Qui-Gon Jinn.
That Jedi loved another Jedi.
He remained a Jedi when she died, he is pure light.
Soon to be fighting his brother.

There is no escape

Darth Plagueis saw Palpatine fighting Mace Windu.
‘Yes my apprentice, use that Force lightning, I have taught you well’
He saw a young Jedi Knight coming in, dressed in dark clothes and smiled.
‘Yes my apprentice, show him that the Jedi are betraying everything. Be vulnerable.’
He saw Mace Windu fighting his apprentice.
‘Good’ Darth Plagueis chuckled when he saw the lightsaber of his apprentice drop to the floor.
“You are under arrest my Lord.”
“Anakin! I told you it would come to this. I was right. The Jedi are taking over.”
“You old fool. The oppression of the Sith will never return. Your plot to regain control of the Republic is over. You have lost."
"No! No! You will die.”
Darth Plagueis cackled ‘yes use that lightning. He is using his lightsaber but you will get help.’
“He is a traitor, Anakin.”
“He is the traitor. Stop him!”
“Come to your senses, boy. The Jedi are in revolt. They will betray you, just as they betrayed me.”
Darth Plagueis heard more arguing until he saw Mace Windu poised for the kill.
‘Good young apprentice. Now my apprentice will be victorious.’
He saw Mace Windu falling.
He saw Anakin sitting down mumbling
“what have I done?”
---
‘Your soul slipped away’
---
“You are fulfilling your destiny. Anakin. Become my apprentice. Learn to use the Dark side of the Force.”
“I will do whatever you ask”
“Good”
“Just help me save Padme’s life.
I can’t live without her.
I won’t let her die.
I want the power to stop death.”
‘You killed me.’
“To cheat death is a power only one has achieved, but if we work together, I know we can discover the secret.”
‘Yes but you betrayed me like a true Sith lord, my apprentice. Betrayal is the way of the Sith. Take him as your apprentice.’
“I pledge myself to your teachings. To the ways of the Sith.”
“Good. Good. The Force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth you shall be known as Darth Vader.
“Thank you my master.”
“Rise Darth Vader.”
‘Yes my apprentice that is a good name. I sense a great future.’
---
Darth Plagueis saw Anakin and his troops heading for the Jeditemple. He observed the slaughter of the traitors, the old ones, the not so old ones, the young ones and the very young.
‘Yes young apprentice; betrayal is the way of the Sith. The Jedi betrayed you. You are not one of them. They never saw your great potential.’
‘Your soul slipped away’
Darth Plagueis saw Anakin headed for Mustafar, landing and slaughtering the Separatists. He saw a sleek starship landing and cackled ‘even your wife is betraying you. She has sided with the Jedi.’
He heard the arguing between Anakin and Obi-Wan.
“I have brought peace, justice, freedom and security to my new Empire.”
“Your new empire?”
‘My apprentice has declared himself Emperor. You aren’t the Emperor yet my dear Anakin.’
“Don’t make me kill you.”
“Anakin my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy.”
“If you are not with me, you’re my enemy.”
“Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. I will do what I must”
“You will try.”
Darth Plagueis saw the two fighting, none gaining the upper hand until the Jedi leapt unto the riverbank.
“It’s over Anakin. I have the high ground”
‘This is not good. Come to his aid my apprentice.’
---
In the dead of night
He’ll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder
Over blackened plains
He will find his way
---
Darth Plagueis saw his apprentice hurrying to Mustafar.
‘Good that Jedi senses your approach. He won’t kill his brother, his friend. He is weak like all the Jedi. Yes, he is leaving with that soon to be dead body of your apprentice’s wife. Good riddance.’
He saw Darth Sidious saving Darth Vader supporting him with his Dark Force. He saw the charred body being transported into the Imperial Shuttle.
Flying high through the night
He will hide your fate
As he takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the lava fades
There is no escape
Its the ending of your precious life
---
‘You are a machine now, more machine than man. You are his servant. You are his apprentice. Remember when your time comes:
Betrayal is the way of the Sith.’
---
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the emperor of the reich
The emperor of the reich
Yeah he’s coming for you

If you have to choose between tears and laughter, remember that laughter burns more calories.
They call me NANA Vader.
At least she doesn't lack confidence...

Nice interpretation to the challenge. I liked how you used the lyrics, even if slightly changed, to illustrate the darkness taking over Anakin’s soul. Also liked the perspective, interesting choice! Awesome job!
