1x1 with Spider Lord

[Tarn]

The Plot is a Star Wars romance AU where Padme has been alive this entire time and her handmaiden Sabe had killed herself to disguise her death, the ultimate sacrifice. Padme has taken her place watching over a 10 year old Leia while Obi-wan watches Luke. In the meantime however an Imperial Shuttle has landed bringing forth Darth Vader, neither of the two lovers know each other is still alive. Vader is stricken with grief over his dead wife and blames himself while Padme has always berated herself and thought she could've helped Anakin and saved him from going down a dark path. She believes Ob-wan killed him on mustafar. Will the love rekindle itself or when Padme sees what her husband has become, change her mind?

(Where should we start?)

((Vader coming to Alderaan and Padme being oblivious lol))

Padme found herself in the Alderaan palace garden watering some of the rare plants that only grew there, it was quite peaceful to be there during the spring time. There was a soft knock on the doorframe to her garden and Padme looked up to see the Viceroy Bail Organa standing there with a solemn look on his face. "What is it?" she asked him, suddenly worried. Bail looked down for a moment and then back up, "Vader has landed here, most unexpectedly normally as Obi-wan insisted we would have moved you elsewhere but..." Padme put a pale hand up, "I don't care what Obi-wan said, one day i will have to meet my husband's killer...it might as well be today"Padme knew that Obi-wan had killed her husband and perhaps even his own arrogance but whenever she spoke about his death she'd always blame Vader. Bail still had a rather worried look on his face, "I just don't want you getting near him...if he finds out who you are...i don't know what would happen" he said taking a step closer. "Don't worry about me" She said with a sly smirk on her face, she brushed past him and the clipping of her high heels echoed as she went to meet with Vader and the other Imps. She covered herself with a hood so only her mouth was visible while Bail was practically biting his finger nails.

A lone Imperial Shuttle emerged from light speed and began a steady flight towards the blue and green planet before it, Alderaan. Now within the planet's atmosphere the shapes of mountains, trees, and cities came into clearer view. The shuttle touched down near Aldera, the capital city of Alderan and lowered it's entry ramp. Out from it poured a small battalion of at least a dozen Imperial Storm Troopers, a small number would only be needed as the planet itself had little to practically no weapons. The troopers formed two lines on the left and right flanks starting from the ramp, their alabaster gleaming in the sunlight finally from the shuttle another figure exited armored as well, but his armor was as black as the night sky. Heavy breathing could be heard from the man, if he could be called that, as he headed down from the shuttle. This was Vader, his mission; find the daughter of the Senator Bail Organa and bring her back to the Death Star. He signaled his troops and the small force began a brisk march towards the palace.

Bail finally caught up with Padme and put a hand on her shoulder,"Just be careful around him" he told the hooded woman. The women nodded half way but a smile crept along her face as the ten year old form of Leia ran up to her and gave her a strong embrace.
"Sabe!" The leader girl said with a smile. It was a shame the young girl could never know that she was really her mother, if she knew she might spill it and someone would make the connection between her and Anakin...and she would be killed because of her midichlorian count. "Sabe, I heard there's an Imperial Shuttle landing!" She said with a smile, "Maybe they'll let me take a look inside it!" She was just like her father when she was that age, always interested in flying and any machine that did so. She was about to reply when she noticed Vader and his Stormtroopers quickly getting closer. A frown plastered on her face as she pulled the hood down as far as it would go. It seemed like Bail had more to say but for once he stayed quiet, she often got bored of hearing his concerns for her safety.

Looks a fear and huddle whispering became common amongst the people as Vader and his militia continued through the city. Aldera's crowded streets noticeably parted as the battalion passed through, a ball bounced through the streets rolling until it finally came to a halt in the Sith lord's path. A young child who was the toy's clear owner came running to grab it but before he could his mother snatched him up. The boy struggled to free himself but in the end it would prove fruitless, as Vader had already crushed the toy beneath the weight of his mechanical leg, causing the child to scream and cling onto its mother for solace. The latter trying to quiet him down. The screaming did not phase the armored figures, but something else did.

A small rock nicked the head of Vader's helmet and the Sith whipped around to see a Rodian male yelling at him in his native tongue this sparked somewhat of a fighting spirit in the people as the began to hurl random debris and grabbed what they could to use as makeshift melee weapons. "Fire," Vader commanded his soldiers, "But do not kill the Rodian, I have a lesson to teach him."

With out question the Storm Troopers fired on the crowd causing some to drop dead and the rest to run in fear. The Rodian tried to escape but was quickly snatched up by Vader and now was being dangled two feet off the ground gasping for breath.

"Fool, your lack of respect shall cost you your life," he growled at the alien man flopping around like a fish out of water. The Rodian's struggles grew weary and soon was completely motion less.

Vader tossed the late rebel into the crowd receiving more screams. "The same and worse awaits those who go against the will of the Empire," he announced to the crowd.

Vader motioned his troops to follow once more, creeping ever so closely towards the palace.

Padme saw what looked to be a struggle not too far off. What kind of chaos was the crazed Sith Lord causing now? There would be no time to question the dark armored man as he was practically at their doorstep with his legion of murderers. Her frown only embedded itself into her face as he was close enough to make out his skull shaped mask. Even Leia was slightly trembling with fear and Bail seemed to provide little comfort for her. Perhaps she could sense the darkness that was a sith lord after all she was force sensitive as her father was. Padme looked to see Bail was now surrounded by several of his officials and the higher ups of the peaceful planet of Alderaan. Strong in numbers was the supposed game they would play but numbers were nothing against the force. It could kill you without ever touching you and instantly too. Absentmindedly she rubbed her neck as she remembered what Anakin had almost done to her...no, that wasn't Anakin, if only she could've helped him...

The stomps of heavy boots came nearer to the Aldera Royal palace. nearing the entrance his goal was so close in sight. The only thing now standing in his way was a single hooded woman and many others huddled around a young girl, his target. Ready to push the woman aside he raised his hand, yet something was causing the Sith Lord to hesitate her presence seemed so familiar. He ordered his troopers to a halt as he stared at the woman before him. She reminded him of the woman he had fallen in love with long ago, Padme Amidala. Sweet memories returned to him, their first meeting, their confession about their feelings to one another, their marriage, when she announced to him that he would be a father. If anyone could see behind his grotesque mask the would see the tears welling up in his horribly scarred face. Humanity seemed to be slowly returning to the bionic Sith. "Padme?" he asked, his warped voice seemingly quivering."Is that... you?"

[Tarn]

"No..." Padme said with a glare, she'd always been told to lie about her identity, especially to Sith Lords. She couldn't hear the quivering behind the monotone that the mask gave Vader. She clenched her fists at her side and looked to the side as Leia clung to her hand nervously. They almost had a parental attachment with one another if only...she knew. Why did Vader want to know who she was anyway, "My name is Sabe," she continued the ruse she had started ten years ago," Padme...was a good friend of mine a long time ago" She let out a long sigh and didn't know what more to say, Darth Vader seemed strange for a moment, the monotone had changed when he asked who she was. Did he know of the secret children she had with Ani? He most likely wanted them all dead...at least Luke was safe under the twin suns of Tatooine with Obi-wan. She took a step in front of the young Princess as if to sheild her force sensitivity from the Sith Lord.
