[Dark Knight23]

This is a Star Wars fan fic called A Distant Memory featuring Darth Vader and some characters from his past.


Chapter 1

The rain falls down in a steady pattern. Thunder explodes in the air and lightening scorches the ground.

“The dark storms of Coruscant match the blackness of my heart.”
The Dark Lord of the Sith thought to himself. Today five years
ago the Republic fell and the Galactic Empire rose from it. Five years ago today the Jedi Temple was seized and the Jedi Order was outlawed. Five years ago today my best friend betrayed me. Five years ago the chosen one died on Mustufar and a Dark Lord rose. Five years ago today she died. Padme. My wife. Five years ago today I was put into this suit to keep me from dying. This is how it feels to be Darth Vader.

Before Darth Vader could do anything else he is interrupted by Imperial Captain Johnson.

“I thought I said I did not want to be bothered today.” The Dark
Lord boomed

“I’m sorry Lord Vader”, the captain said nervously “but the Emperor wants to see you.”

“Very Well.”

The captain walks out of the room and Darth Vader follows. And five years ago today Darth Sidious became my Master.

“I must hide my thoughts from my Master.” The Dark Lord thought to himself. “He must not know what I was thinking.”
Darth Vader walked into the room and bowed before the Emperor.

“What is thy bidding my Master?” Darth Vader said.

“Do you know what today is Lord Vader?” the Emperor replied

“Today is the fifth anniversary of the Empire being formed.” Darth Vader said.

“And...” the Emperor hissed

“I don’t know Master.” Darth Vader replied

“It’s the day that the weakling Anakin Skywalker died and Darth Vader was born.” The Emperor spat

“How could I forget that day my master.” Darth Vader said.

“You try to hide your feelings from me Lord Vader. I could sense your feelings a mile away. You tried to conceal your thoughts from me. Do not do that. You’re not as strong as you think you are Lord Vader.” The Emperor said angrily.

“I am sorry, my master.” Darth Vader apologetically replied.

“Now I have an assignment for you Lord Vader it deals with an insurrection on the planet of Sharon. A group of rebels have been causing trouble for our troops there. I want you to crush that rebellion. And I want you to make an example of them Lord Vader. The rebellion is lead by a Jedi named Ferus Olin.” The Emperor said.

That name struck a nerve with the Dark Lord.

“I see that name has stirred up many emotions in you Lord Vader.” The Emperor hissed

“He was my rival as a padawan in the Jedi Temple.”

“I see, don’t let that name bring Anakin Skywalker out of you.
Let Darth Vader’s wrath fall on this so-called Jedi.”

“Anakin Skywalker is dead, Master. And I will not fail you master.” Darth Vader replied.

“You never have Lord Vader. Now show the rebel that there is no room for rebellion in the Galactic Empire.”

“Yes master.” Darth Vader replied.
*****************************************

The setting is a planet lush with vegetation. A steady downpour of rain is falling down on the planet. A light show of lightening and the deafening explosions of thunder filled the air. Down below a battle between good and evil was taking place. Jedi versus Sith. A battle that has been raging for millennia’s. The crackle of lightsaber blades crashing against one another could be heard over the thunder and lightening.

“Go ahead kill me.” Said the defeated Jedi

“Your power is feeble to the power of the Dark side.” The Dark Lord replied.

The Dark Lord brings the blade down and slices the head of the Jedi clean of his shoulder. Ferus Olin wakes up in a cold sweat. Ferus grips his lightsaber next to his bed. Knowing the death he just dreamed of was his own. Someone is knocking on the door.

“Come in”

The door opened and a young woman with tan skin and silky black hair walked into the room.

“I heard you scream is everything alright?” Talia gently said.

“Yeah, everything is fine I just had a bad dream.” He replied

“Sounds like a nightmare by the way you were screaming.”
Teased Talia

“I guess you could say that. Talia, how many hours to we make planet fall.”

“Two hours.”

“Ok you can go back to what you were doing.”

Talia walks out of the room and closes the door. Ferus puts his hands on his head thinking about the vision he just had. This dream was so real it’s like I was there watching my death. And that monstrosity I was fighting he was to powerful for me. I need to talk to someone about this dream.
Ferus gets out of his bed and walks to his sink. He throws water on his face to calm him down. He gets dressed and walks out to the command bridge of the ship. A Wookie was in the pilot seat piloting ship.

“HUUUUAAAAAAAAARRRRRR” growled the Wookie.

“No, I’m fine Tarcca.”

Tarcca is one of the few free wookies who escaped the siege of his home planet of Kashyykk. His family died fighting against the terrible monstrosity called Darth Vader. Tarcca joined the crew shortly after determined to bring down the Empire. And in the Co-Pilot seat sat the oldest member of the crew Jesine. Jesine never trusted the Chancellor but he trusted the Jedi. When Order 66 was given he smuggled Jedi off planet to safety.

“Sir the Imperials are asking for are authorization number before we can land.” Jesine stated.

“Well, give them the codes that we received and hopefully they work.”

Jesine gave the codes and only static was heard through the communicator, then reply came through.

“You made proceed. We are sending you coordinates for where you can land.” The Imperial stated

“Sir might I ask what we are doing here on this planet.” Jesine asked

“Senator Mon Mothma contacted me asking us to meet with the leader of the planet. Senator Mothma said he was interested in joining the rebellion. She asked are crew to talk to him about the rebellion.

Jesine nodded and Tarcca was focused on making a smooth landing to the planet. When Ferus saw the planet his face paled. The planet was exactly like it was in his dream that he had this morning. Could this be the planet I die on he wondered to himself. Jesine noticing the look on Ferus face he asked if he was alright. But it took him several times to finally get through to Ferus.

“Oh yes I’m fine” he lied


As always tell me what you think.

[Shadow116]

great start :)

[Dark Knight23]

In the depths of a Star Destroyer lays the troubled mine of Darth Vader. He thinks about the time when he was a Padawan sent to the planet Randon to help prevent a toxic disaster on the planet. Obi-Wan and I got separated on the planet. Everybody voted Ferus to be the leader and not me. I was the Chosen One. Why wasn’t I the one to lead the Padawans? Vader thought to himself furiously. They did not trust that’s why I didn’t leave.

A specter of light appears out of the darkness in the shape of Anakin Skywalker.

That’s not true said Anakin Skywalker you didn’t lead because you weren’t ready to leave. Ferus was more experienced then you were.

You have no place here Jedi. Anakin Skywalker is dead and left is only Darth Vader.

You can never get rid of me no matter how hard you try. I will always be here to shine light in your darkness.

With that the voice leaves and Captain Johnson walks into the room.

“Lord Vader we are pulling out of hyperspace now.”

“Very well.”

“Is everything alright sir I heard you screaming?”

“Everything is fine Captain. Is my shuttle ready?”

“Yes it is Lord Vader. It is ready to take off when you are.”

“Good it is time I pay this king a visit.”
*******************************************

The rebel ship, the Speed Demon, touched down on the landing ramp. A pair of royal guards dressed in sharp blue armor and a blue helmet stood rigidly waiting for the passengers in the Speed Demon to disembark from the ship. Ferus, Talia, Tarcca, and Jesine walk down the ramp to the pair of guards.

“The King is waiting for you at the palace.” The Royal Guard said.

“Will we be seeing him immediately or will we have to wait until later.” Ferus replied.

“You will be brought to him immediately.” The Royal Guard replied.

The Royal guards usher the four passengers into a speeder that signifies importance on the planet. The speeder zoomed thru the city. Ferus looked around the city and he saw bits and pieces of his dream in the city. Ferus paled again knowing very well that this may be where he dies. Talia looks at Ferus and sees he is pale and puts a soft hand on his shoulder.

“All you alright Ferus you are looking kind of pale.” Talia said softly.

“Yes, I’m fine.” He lied.

Talia still wore a look of concern on her face, but before she could say anything they had arrived at the palace. The palace is an architectural marvel. The palace is made up of several different elements gold, silver, and diamonds to name a few. The gates of the palace opened up and the speeder drove into the palace grounds. A man of about forty earth years with a rotund figure and a beaming face came out to greet them.

“Good to see you my friends my name is King Chadzer. It is nice to have you on the planet Shalon.”

“It’s great to be here King Chadzer. I’m Ferus Olin and this is Talia, Tarcca, and Jesine” Ferus replied as he pointed at his crew.

“Please come in,” said the King “we have much to discuss concerning our business.”

Everybody was ushered into a grand meeting room. Filled with ancient pieces of art and statues from the planet’s past. They all sat down at a large table.

“So King, tell us how the war end hear on Shalon.” Ferus asked.

“Well, we didn’t have much need for Republic help. You see we are a planet that has an advanced military. Not as big or strong as the Republic but we can hold are on. Unfortunately the Separatists were able to outlast us with their reinforcements. I was advised by our military council to call the Republic for reinforcements. The chancellor was glad to supply more than enough troops. We had eventually overpowered the Separatists and they left our planet. Then the clone troopers turned on the Jedi who came with the troopers and they said we were under Imperial rule. My people didn’t take that to well they have been waiting for an opportunity to rebel against this new Empire. And now we can do something with the help of you and your rebellion.”

“Well, sir we don’t have a strong militia yet but with your support we think we can start building one. Right now we are just a small coalition of planets we are hoping you could help us against the fight of the Empire.’ Ferus replied.

“My people will be glad to help the rebellion anything to help bring down the traitorous Empire. Enough talk of war you must be tired from your voyage you must stay here with me at the palace.”

“We will be glad to stay here your Majesty.” Ferus replied.

“Good now my assistant Joici will show you to your rooms.”
Joici showed the Speed Demon’s crew to their quarters for the night.

[Shadow116]

God I loved that Anakin shining through I got an image of jedi ghost Hayden or the original older Anakin talking to Vader :lol:

[Dark Knight23]

hahaha cool glad that you got the image

[Dark Knight23]

Joici was showing Ferus and Talia to their rooms when a small beeping sound pierced the silence.

“Oh that’s my communicator. This is important do you think that you can let yourselves into the rooms.”

“Yes we can.” Ferus replied

“I don’t trust her” said Talia under her breath.

“Why” Ferus replied

“I just don’t feel safe with her around here.”

Joici walked down the hallway to her room and locked the door. She pulled a small communicator out of her pocket and a man into his fifties appeared on the holo-screen.

“Do you have any information yet?” said the man.

“Yes a group of visitors from the rebellion are here.” She answered

“Did they give any names on who is leading this rebellion?”

“No sir, the King has agreed to join the rebellion General Lee.
What shall I do with the visitors?” She asked

“Do not do anything to them we have a messenger from the Empire coming to deal with them.”

“Who?” she asked curiously.

“Darth Vader.” He replied evilly.

Joici faced paled at the mentioning at that name she gulped hard.

“I will contact you again soon Joici.”

The image of General Lee disappeared from the holo receiver.
What have I done Joici said to herself?
*****************************************

Darth Vader walked into the control room and the image of General Lee appeared on the screen.

“Lord Vader” said General Lee with a slight bow “we have just gotten word from our source inside the palace that the King has decided to join the rebellion. What course of action shall we take?”

“Do not do anything to the king yet. I will deal with him personally. Did your source say that the Jedi has landed yet?”

“Yes she said they had arrived and already met with the King. Hence, his decision to join the rebellion.”

“That was a very unwise move on his part. He has chosen his path and now I will show him the consequence of making that choice. I will contact you later if I need any assistance.”

“Yes Lord Vader.”

The transmission fizzled out.

“I have you know Ferus.”
