Chapter fourteen:
Vader raised the saber and looked at the hole he had made. It was millimeters away from Venus's body. What's wrong with me? The Dark Lord said. He started to remember the past battles that they'd had. Venus was the same as he was and Vader will find out why that is. Besides he couldn't kill her yet. If he was to destroy the Emperor and seize the throne he would need her. I will kill her after I have become Emperor. Vader walked over to the bed that Venus was sleeping on. He grabbed the mattress and flipped it over. Venus jumped up with a start. Good your up. It's time to start your training. Prepare to hate me more than anyone you have ever known. Said Darth Vader. I already hate you for waking me up so early. Said Venus. Good then we are half way there.
Thank you for the information General. Said the Emperor. The link was then cut. It seems that Jamba failed me. At least he died on Tatooine because if he didn't I would make death seem like a paradise. A hologram of Vader and Venus appeared before the Emperor. You wish to speak with me Master. Said Vader . Ah, I see you have your apprentice beside you today Lord Vader.
Vader: Yes Master a Navy vessel found her.
Emperor Palpatine: Well that's good she can accompany you on your next mission.
Vader: To Kamino Master?
Emperor Palpatine: Yes it seems my speculation was correct.
Vader: If I train Venus for at least one more week Master she could become a great asset.
The Emperor sighed and said. I will allow it. Vader nodded a thank you and cut off his link. Vader stood up and told Venus to stand. I want you to watch this recording. Said Vader. I want to know if you think you can keep up with these two in battle. The monitor switched on and Venus saw the Emperor speaking to a little green man. After watching the battle Vader turned to her. Do you think you can keep up with them Venus? No, they are to quick for me Master. Vader turned his head to the screen.
Vader: Do you not think I am incompetent?
Ja-ni: But Master...
Vader: Venus you may not have the power yet but you will. Someday you will rise and destroy me.
Ja-ni: Master I would never.
Vader interrupted her once again. Venus have you ever heard of Sith'ari?
Ja-ni: No, what is it?
Vader: It is a prophecy that one person would lead the Sith to victory. Then it will bring balance to the Force. The Emperor and everyone else thought that the person that it mentioned was me. But now it seems that it was talking about two people. Me the one who led the Sith to victory and you to bring balance to the Force by destroying me. But until that time comes I know at least one thing. You are my daughter. Venus stood in shock. She then fell to her knees.
Ja-ni: But what about my father on Raven 5?
Vader: He was sterile Venus. I (pause) am your father. Search your feelings Venus, you know it be true.
When Vader said that he walked out of the room with a confused and shocked Venus behind him. She fell to the floor with tears in her eyes. Her father on Raven 5 was so kind and she loved him . Now, to know that he wasn't her father was heartbreaking. As much as Venus liked Vader she couldn't consider him like a father, and after what she had seen from her visions it was hard to like a man who killed Anakin. Maybe if she stayed by Vader's side she could find a way to reawaken Anakin.
Vader sat in a chair thinking about what he had just told Venus. Maybe I shouldn't have told her, he thought. Just then the door slid open. Vader stood up from his chair. How did you meet my mother? Said Venus. I never knew your mother Venus. Said Vader.
Ja-ni: What!
Vader: Anakin's mind must have sensed it was turning to the dark side and in the final stages of the Clone Wars he must have gave some of his essence to you when you were still in your mother's womb. Which took your father's DNA and replaced it with his own.
Venus's eyes grew wide. It's unbelievable I know, but it's the truth. Said Vader. There was a silence in the room that seemed to last an eternity. The only thing that could be heard was Vader's breathing. Then Vader finally spoke. Get ready your training starts now.
Ja-ni: I am ready Master.
After the training session had ended Vader and Venus walked to the ready room. During this mission to Kamino Venus, you will lead a team of Imperial Commando's to sever the security system so our garrison of troopers can invade the complex.
Ja-ni: No, offense Master but they will only show me down.
Vader: Maybe, but they have weapons that you don't have. Meet your new teammates. This is 07 or Sev 40 or Fixer. 62 or Scorch, and 38 Boss. Nice to meet you Miss Venus. Scorch said as he bowed.
