Chapter nighteen:
The entire 501st legion was at the funeral of Lord Venus. They gave Venus a hundred gun salute to honor her courage and bravery on the battlefield. The entire legion of the 501st felt a certain sadness because Venus had always been with them on the battlefield.
Underneath Vader's mask tears were in his eyes. His own fresh and blood, the only one to know his true pain was now dead. The Emperor walked over to his young apprentice and spoke to him. I am truly sorry for your loss Lord Vader. I will see to it personally that every single Jedi is destroyed. You will have your revenge my friend.
Vader: Thank you Master.
After the funeral was all over everyone had left. Vader burned Venus's body. She had wanted to become a Jedi and I will give her a Jedi burial, he thought to himself. Vader watched her body burn and when the fire finally went out he turned and walked off.
On board his personal shuttle he thought to himself in the oxygen chamber he had built. Venus was the only thing I had left and now she's gone. The helmet that kept him from dying slowly descended onto his head. What was left of Anakin Skywalker was now dead. The mask had a suction sound as it sealed over his head.
It had been almost a year since the death of Venus. The Emperor had told Vader that a Rebel base was constructed on Raven 5. But Vader could see that he was not needed here it was the Emperor's way of telling him that he would always be under his control and would never be able to get out of it.
The Dark Lord started to walk inside a house that once stood tall. He went passed a couple of walls and walked through a door when he heard a youngling crying. He walked over to the cradle and looked at the child. The child reminded him of Venus.
He looked up into the skies and remembered the short time he had spent with her. Vader looked back down and thought to himself, I wish I could have gotten to see her grow up. The only thing that bugged him the most was that she was supposed to be the Chosen One, how could she die so easily.
He looked down at the baby and saw that it was trying to grab him.
Darth Vader smiled. It seems that Darth Venus was more powerful than I originally thought. Isn't that right Venus? He said as he picked up the baby.
