Chapter 10 - (The learner is now the Master. )

Chapter ten:

Venus had just arrived in the Coruscant record room. She had been in the room watching old recordings and learned a lot in a short amount of time.

The battle with a Jedi named Windu and Palpatine. Anakin chopping off Windu's hand and Palpatine becoming disfigured. Then Palpatine finally knighting Anakin as Darth Vader.

The march upon the temple. Seeing Jedi and younglings being killed left and right. She saw it all.

All of Palpatine's rise to power.

Suddenly Venus felt a rift through the Force. The Emperor, she said.

She jumped into the vents and pulled up the screen to conceal herself. The Emperor then walked in with his bodyguards he searched the Force trying to find Venus. He snarled and as he walked out he said. Search the place I want her alive.

Venus crawled through the vents until she jumped out and glided towards a building. Through the Force she felt two bullets coming towards her.

Venus ignited her lightsaber and deflected the blasts. She jumped off the roof and then from air car to air car. Until she jumped onto a building with a man who wore a hood. He took the hood off so she could see his face.

It was Anakin Skywalker!

Master is that you? He said nothing as he grabbed the silver saber hilt and ignited the sapphire blade. If you wish to continue this silly mission you will have to kill me.

Ja-ni: No I can't kill you. I can't. Anakin then dashed towards her and tried to cut her face in two. Luckily she blocked.

She jumped backwards and stood in a defensive position. She didn't know what to do.

She couldn't kill the man that took her under his wing. He was like a father to her. Anakin walked towards her and said. You have much to learn. He said as he Forced pushed Venus and she slid across the roof.

It took Venus a while to get up but as she did she said this. I am no longer the learner now it's your turn.

Venus jumped into the air and somersaulted down to get the two blades to clash. Then she used the blade to keep pushing the blade against Anakin.

She then dropped to the ground and swiped her feet under his to get him to fall. Venus caught her blade and raised it into the air.

She then stabbed Anakin in the stomach. Anakin vanished with a smile on his face.

Back on the Executor Vader awoke from the Force image he created of his earlier self to test Venus.

Underneath his mask he smiled.

Even though it hurt he had to. She had past my first test he thought. The test of not believing all that you see.

He had failed that test himself back in the days of the Old Republic. But in order for him to commence her training he had to retrieve her.

Venus was still running from the Storm Sharpshooters that kept shooting at her. She had finally come to her ship and jumped when the two Tie Fighter's came down and started to shoot at the ship.

They would not keep her from accomplishing her mission. She started the engines and flew off before the blasts could touch the ship. She had entered Coruscant's atmosphere but the ship's were still following her.

Buzz off. Said Venus as she flipped a switch. Five missiles erupted from her ship and blew up one fighter but missed the other one. She closed her eyes and used the Force to make it appear as if time had slowed down in her eyes, but really it just made her reaction time quicker.

She pulled the ship into a 180 and fired her laser cannons to destroy the ship.

Vader watched as Venus finished off the two ship's and jumped into hyperspace.

Vader turned around, but twisted his head back to take one last look and then walked off the bridge.
