It had been a few hours hour since Vincent had come to see Kokichi Muta, and as the time flew by so did his desire for nutrients. For the first time Kokichi would try food from an entirely new galaxy, a thought that made him slightly salivate.
Arriving in the ships mess hall, he was greeted by other soldier and crew memeber also sharing a meal. Most if not all personal here shared the exept same face, sething that was unusual but not unexpected as all purge trooper were supposed to be elite clones bread to kill jedi and other high level targets.
So for Kokichi, who Knew this fact he was left slightly puzzled as he saw a mix of other faces around.
As he sat down,he was then approached by one such person. Sitting down next to him and placing what apeard to be a steel container with liquid inside infront of him. While taking taking a sip of his own.
Seeing his slightly puzzled expression, the troopers visibly frowned." You came for substance correct, this is nutrinal milk, a healthy drink that contains all the nutritionist the human body needs."
More than a bit disappointed, in what was his first meal in this new galaxy. He reluctantly took a sip. While not bad it was a little bland for his taste."is there not any other options."
"Hahah on a ship!, you must be joking?. There really not much else, you can order what you desire beforehand but that can be a rather expensive option just for a meal."
Nodding in understating, as the concept of the amount of food that would be needed to sustain a star destroyer class ship would be enormous especially on long trips, not to mention time consuming for the staff that wanted nothing more then to return to work. A sentiment that Kokichi could relate to but not at the expense of good food.
Feeling an awkward air grow between the two Kokichi decided to change the subject to another issue puzzling him.
" I thought all purge trooper were supposed to be clones, so how did you end up here."
Scratching his head slightly he responds a little meakly." Well your not wrong, that is how it was originally. But the boss is a collector of sorts, finds and officer or in my case a storm trooper with excellent qualitys, and he will make offers or deals to join his personal."
With a little laugh he continues." You see the cook behind the counter. He used to be a high class chef on a remote planet, impressed the boss while on a mission and tried to recruit him. You know what the chef said."
"No but I'm sure you will enlightenment me."
" Ha that I will. He asked that his family be relocated to the inner galaxy and looked after by the empire. And that's what happened, the boss moved them gave them to a farm gave them a house and even fresh livestock. All so that they could look after themselves."
Visible shock came across his face as he almost spat out his drink at the lengths that his new friend would go to state his collection addiction.
"I did not catch your name by the way. Or how you were recruited for that matter."
"That idiot is trooper Hendrik, and he was not recruited, he is only here because of the deal I made with lord Vincent for my loyalty." Came a voice directly behind Hendrik, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"Ahh you didn't need to tell him that, are you trying tarnish my reputation brother."
"it was going to get ruined eventually, just speeding up the prosses. You are welcome of course."
...
While Kokichi was making new friends with the troopers. Vincent was abord a transport ship heading to the inquisitor base inderneeth the rough ocean of the planet Nur. on board was is closet officers as well as the best purge troopers under his command, Hendrik not being among them.
After docking and exiting the ship. They were escorted inside by two officers who spoke as they walked inside.
"You are usually early lord Vincent, what brings you hear ahead of schedule."
Vincent well accustomed to Vader's officers antics responds." Ah strick always officer Fennwell. To put it simply I have and urgent matter to discuss with lord Vader, that is of the utmost importance."
With a frown plastered on his face he speaks." Lord Vander will not be pleased with your untimely visit, even if you are close I'd advise you return later."
" do not worry yourself, l will be alright." I knew why he was trying to send me away,as did some of those behind me. Vader was about to enter his healing chamber and will not under any circumstances want to be disturbed, not even by me. But it was for this reason that I arrived early.
Inside the base Vincent was lead in the direction of Vader's personal chamber. At a certain distance all personal excluding myself stopped meters before the door. Fennwell commenting.
" this is as far we go, the rest is up to you, do try to come back in one peice."
I shook my head at Fennwell's behaviour, always a wanker that one. Were my thoughts as I walked inside.
Vader turning to the source of the intrusion" you of all people should no that I do not want disturbance at this time, get out."
Understanding his anger I respond" you wound be old friend, you think I would come of if was not important.
Opening up the case I was carrying and bringing out a single glass container filled with beautiful blue liquid, " this I why I'm here friend, the Anwar we have been searching for, I believe this potion has the ability heal your servere wounds.have I done enough for you over the years to earn this much no."
With Vader helmet for as well as part of his armor, as we was getting ready to submerge himself. A complicated expression came across his face." How many times does this make this. You truly are unrelenting, what makes you confident of it's success."
"This is the last time, I promise you this Vader if this does not work I will drop any further attempts,but trust me this will work."
" you are annoyingly stubborn, a trait that truly annoys be, but can't truly hate you for."
With Vader giving an exasperated sigh to proced, I introduce the most potent healing potion in this galaxy into to the healing pod. In doing so the pods liquid starts to take on a light blue colour that shown lightly in the dimly lit room.
As Vader's burned and mutilated body enter the pod connected by tubes allowing him to breath. It didn't take to much longer, and the affect were visible, as his skin started to heal all over his body his face regaining its past colour and brown hair started to grow at a rapid rate. An action the was visible and rather shocking to Vincent seeing his old friend returning to what he once was.
After his scars had healed his limbs were soon to follow, slowly but surely new bone, ligiments, musuels and skin started grow a rate that was visible to the eyes. As the last toes and fingers finished growing, and clarity begen to apear within Vader eyes, something not seen in sometime. Signifying his resentment and hatred for his former master had diminished slightly, opening his heart to the prospect of forgiveness even if only a little.
When the healing finished the liquid within the pod was siphoned out, and the door of the healing captule opening allowing Vader to walk with his one legs for the first time in years.
As he walked out I tosed him cloak to cover himself. I sar down waiting Vader's words." Thank you for this, with this our plans for the empire are one step closer."
Seeing the lack of enthusiasm, but also seeing this as the best time to truly bring back the light within him, I try to open his heart once more.
"I know with Padme's death it left you empty, but she is not the only one you are responsible for."
A look of sadness washes over his face one's more as I continue." I found reports recently that before the death of your beloved, she gave birth to two children Luke and Laia your children ."
With a look of complete asonoshemt on his face, he looks at me one more time, this time though the onimous look within his eyes now completely gone and returning back to normal. And unsure what to say next, I spoke.
"You where always the chosen one, even now. You were never meant to be a sith lord just as much as you weren't supposed to be a jedi. You Aniken where meant for more then that. Embraceing one side of the force meant abandoning the other, allow yourself now to truly embrace all side of the force."
" allowing the light side to ruteun to me once more would leave myself vulnerable to what i have done, making me falll further to the darkside."
" that is certainly one possibility yes. But you need to finally balance yourself,use your children and their future to be your light, and let the empire and the inquisitors to be your darks side. Become who you were ment to be. Not a puppet of a third rate sith.
With my word said Vader looked at me once more and got up." I have visitwith Palpatine coming soon it would seem, in the meantime I still have a mission for you to complete."
With one last bit of caution toward vader i speak word of worry."Allow some of the purge trooper under my command to accompany you on your visit. They will prevent any interference from happening."
With thise word said I began to leave hoping that my words would usher a new age for the empire, one that would have the most powerfull force users in all of history sitting at the top.
