Militia Furor (Knight’s Rage) (3/9)

Palpatine directs his apprentice to seek out one of the few Jedi Knights left in order to assemble his weapon which would strike fear in his enemies in the years that would follow. Before that could be done, he must confront the lawless of the galaxy to secure his fighter and mode of transport.

 

Palpatine: “Your armor, Lord Vader, how do you find it?”

 

Vader: “It is… acceptable. Why have we come here, my master?”

 

Palpatine: “I need your help, Lord Vader. I have very high hopes for what we might achieve together. But first… …you will need your lightsaber. You must seek out a Jedi from whom to take a kyber crystal. A daunting task indeed, after our success together in eradicating them from the galaxy. However, I have great faith in your resourcefulness and capability. Go now, my apprentice.”

 

Palpatine: *looks over* “Hmm. I had a vessel brought here for you to use- -it appears to have been… stolen. Ah, this lawless galaxy. Truly, it cries out for our guidance. Are you at a loss, my friend? Take heart. Your path is simple. Your power will become endless, Lord Vader. And then, we shall rule… …as one.”

 

Pirate 1: “Would you look at that thing? What a beaut- -just laying out there in the desert, too.”

 

Pirate 2: “We can probably sell it even if we can’t slice past the encryption. Should fetch more credits that we’ll see in a year of slavi—“

 

Vader: “ That ship… …is mine.”

 

Pirate 2: “Kill him!

 

Pirate 3: “Got him! I got hi—“

 

Pirate 2: “By all the- -why are you here? What do you want?”

 

Vader: “From you? Only this.” *snaps neck*
