the pod landed on Mustafar, the volcanic planet on the atravis sector of the outer rim of the galaxy. mustafar , the to-be proclaimed domain of a man, a man the world would soon fear. a heavily pregnant senator Padme Amidala climbed out of the j-type Naboo star skiff, leaving c-3po inside to see her husband Anakin Skywalker but what she did not know that obi wan, Anakin's master had followed her and that Kenobi's claims about Skywalker's fall to the dark side were apparent and true.

as she saw Anakin, she rushed out, and ran to embrace her beloved and asked, "what are you doing here, I was so worried about you!" and soon her happiness faded into fear, and she added " obi wan told me terrible things!"

" What things" Anakin asked, his eyes turning darker at the mention of the name of his master which made Padme retort, her expression one of sadness " that you turned to the dark side, that you had killed younglings."

Anakin soon became defensive, now wanting Padme to find out about his actions and said calmly " obi wan is trying to turn you against me." to which Padme interjected "he cares about us." which made him ask " us?' she replied "he knows, he wants to help you."

there was no reply from Anakin just a look of disdain.

" Anakin, all I want is your love." she said to him hoping for him to reply back to her and ensure her that all was well but instead he said, " love won't save you Padme, only my new powers can do that."

" But at what cost, you are a good person don't do it." Padme pleaded, hoping that Anakin would listen to her only for him to say " I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I have become more powerful than any jedi has dreamed of and I am doing it for you. to protect you."

" Come away with me." Padme pleaded tears welling up in her eyes as she cups Anakin's face with her hand "help me raise our child, leave everything else behind while we still can." she added.

" don't you see? we don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the republic, I am more powerful than the chancellor I can overthrow him." he answered, making Padme's heart fill with horror that the very Anakin that she had known for so long had changed and not for good. " And together we can rule the galaxy, make things the way we want them to be.' he added further plunging Padme's heart into dread and fear.

" I don't believe what I am hearing!" she said in disbelief, " obi wan was right, you have changed." she added which angered Anakin further as he said, " I don't want to hear any more about obi wan., the jedi turned against me, don't you turn against me."

' I don't know you anymore." Padme cried out, tears threatening to spill from her black eyes as she added, her voice breaking, " Anakin, you're breaking my heart, you're going down a path I can't follow."

" Is it because of obi wan? " Anakin asked further spiraling into anger.

"because of what you've done! what you plan to do. " She said, but Anakin's gaze was elsewhere, on the pod, where obi wan proudly stood, then Anakin was fueled with his rage. as Padme continued "stop, stop now, come back." and as a last resort, she finally let her tears spill as she said, " I love you."

"LIAR!" Anakin roared at Padme, his voice echoing off of the walls of the fortress which made Padme look back and see obi wan walking towards them, she staggered backwards as Anakin cornered her saying " you're with him. you brought him here to kill me!" before he held his hand up to her neck, choking her through the force, obi wan, could not keep silent at that point and thundered " let her go Anakin." as he sees Padme, the pregnant woman struggling to breathe as she gasped " I love you." while being strangled before warning him once more " let her go." and then Padme thudded to the floor unconscious as Anakin released the grip on her neck through the force. Kenobi then looked at Padme, her body limp on the floor as Anakin looked at him and said " you turned her against me!" to which obi wan answered his gaze drifting from Padme to Anakin as he said, " you have done that yourself."

the two circled each other like two mad dogs in a fight, then Anakin thundered " you will not take her from me!" to which obi wan answered " your anger and lust for power have already done that. you have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy."

" don't lecture me obi wan." Anakin said, still circling obi wan " I see through the lies of the jedi, I don't fear the dark side as you do." he added as obi wan walked towards Padme, to check if she was alive and to his relief, she was alive.

"I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire." Anakin continued his back turned on obi wan

"Your new empire?" Kenobi asked incredulously.

"Don't make me kill you. "Hissed Anakin in response, a menacing scowl on his face

"Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy." answered obi wan trying to make Anakin see reason but it was in vain as Anakin answered, "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy." sparing a glance towards him as he turned his head, his eyes briefly turning into a bright yellow and then turned blue again.

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must." obi wan responded in defeat knowing that Anakin had gone too far as the dark side had taken root and is festering within him and then pulls out his lightsaber and turns it on, its blade flashing blue, contrasting against the orange of the flame and lava in mustafar.

"You will try." Anakin said pulling out his lightsaber to face obi wan in one duel, a duel neither would forget.

both of them had dueled endlessly, without a word, the only sound being the sound of their sabers clashing against each other until Obi wan remarked, his voice growing weak " I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you", before deflecting another strike from his opponent.

"I should have known that the jedi were plotting to take over." Anakin said, his face bearing an expression of contempt.

" Anakin, chancellor Palpatine is evil!" screamed obi wan in reply which unfortunately had triggered Anakin more as he replied, nearly yelling " from my point of view, the jedi are evil."

"Well, then you are lost!" roared obi wan blocking another strike from Anakin.

the fierce duel resumed once again until Kenobi, jumped onto the sands of mustafar, proclaiming " it's over, Anakin. I have the high ground."

" You underestimate my power." Anakin exclaimed and as soon as those words escaped his mouth obi wan knew what he was going to do.

he was about to jump.

he warned Anakin but it was in vain, he jumped and, in a flash, and a swing from his saber, Kenobi had chopped of his former padawan's limbs, making him fall into the volcanic sand of that planet, he saw Anakin, struggling , helpless, his eyes now yellow again ,in utter horror he screamed " you were the chosen one! it was said that you would destroy the Sith not join them. Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness."

he picked up Anakin's lightsaber and walked away only to hear Anakin scream " I HATE YOU!"

Kenobi looked back at him, nearly in tears and said, " you were my brother Anakin, I loved you." and left unaware of the monster that he just created, as he left his friend to die alone, to burn in the fires of mustafar.

a few hours later, sheev Palpatine now known as Darth Sidious arrived, to bring Anakin with him along with a few members of the 501st legion , he saw Anakin, his body burnt to the crisp , mangled , he bright him back in a medical capsule to coruscant where Palpatine had ordered his best scientists and med-droids to not let his apprentice Vader die and so, Anakin now known as Vader was put into a life sustaining suit to help him breathe after he had damaged his lungs on the volcanic planet and to disguise his horrific appearance, with new cybernetics to replace all four limbs that he had lost. and now Sidious waited for his apprentice to gain consciousness. and so, as Sidious thought began the rule of the empire with Vader as his lapdog.

but what Sidious did not know was that the downfall of the empire had begun the same day as it's rise.

many planets away, on exegol was the one who sought to wipe out all traces of the empire. a Sith, many would wonder why a Sith would seek to destroy the Sith order but that is a very long story. a very very very long one, one for another day.

the planet was a very rocky one, dingy, dark as it was the home to the greatest of Sith lords and the emperors of the Sith order.

two women stood in a cave, the only source of light being the bright red blade of their lightsabers as they were ignited.

" What must we do akka? is there truly no way to reclaim it?" one asked the other only for the other to reply, " there is only one-way Malavika!" " what is it, Sithara?" Malavika asked her sister and then she heard Sithara say," we cannot take on that traitor using warfare or any physical means." " then what do we do? we just cannot stay silent; many years have gone wasted due to our silence." Malavika retorted and then Sithara replied " we shall tear the empire from within. let us tell him that we are here to crush all those who oppose the Sith. he will let us join him and slowly we shall tear it apart from within. just as he did to the republic."
