Darth Vader

"I survied, but I paied for it."

[blindedspectre]

He heard the blade deactivate, but the burning hadn’t stopped. The pain was still there, mixed with his lack of oxygen it was a wonder he was even still conscious. Then there was a hand on his chin and he flinched. 

This was the Dark Side, this is what they did to get ahead. Kanan knew he didn’t belong here and this was just solidifying it.

He was then dropped and hit the floor hard. He was coughing and gasping for air as his hands moved to cover his face. There was so much pain and it wouldn’t go away.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

Yes, it was the Dark Side --- everyone wanted to do their best to get power. That was the trap of the Dark Side --- it only left yourself and that was something that Kanan was learning. Yet, he simply didn’t belong there at all... not really at least.

“Your pet didn’t last long --- a pity.” Vader stated bluntly, “Dispose of him.” Of course, Vader didn’t care of Xylek did or didn’t dispose of Kanan --- his work was done.

However, Wyndel knew he had failed --- it wasn’t the first time this had actually happened, but would it be the last? Possibly or possibly not --- the only thing that did actually matter was that Kanan was alive --- even if he didn’t know how long that would be for.

“I’m sorry... I’m so sorry.”

“Will you do it yourself?”

She twisted her hands again, this time to get her right hand in a position where her thumb could press the spot on her left hand that housed one of the newer and more risky developments the Rebel Alliance was trying— A chip implanted to send a masked signal that would indicate she was to be considered compromised and not worth the risk of extraction. Bail had the protocols for what to do in this situation.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

It wasn’t if he could or rather, would do it himself, but rather, it was the point that for the most part, Vader didn’t care. Yes, there was a time he would have died for her --- it was how he got to this point anyways, but for now, she was nothing more than an object in his way that needed to be crushed.

“Correct.” He stated in-between the constant breathing sound escaping from his suit.

[luxettenebra]

“Well, if that’s a challenge, it’s one I will readily accept.”

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

“Then so be it, Revan.” He stated with a low growl, “So be it.”

[blindedspectre]

The pain didn’t stop. He couldn’t do anything-he couldn’t see. If he reached out blindly with his hands he’d just get them cut off by the saber. His struggling became weaker as the mix of pain and lack of air started to get to him. 

His pained sounds quieted and his arms fell form being at his neck to falling limply to his sides. He couldn’t fight this, he just accepted his fate.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

Vader made sure to keep the blade there for a few more moments, he wasn’t about to let up now, and he could tell that the other was giving up. That was what he wanted --- to make sure that he knew what his place was. It was in the DIRT and that Kanan was nothing more than a tool --- one that was going to be disposed of anyways. 

It was then, after a few more moments that he simply deactivated the blade, and moved his cybernetic hand under Kanan’s chin, “Much better... I think Xylek will enjoy you more like this.” Vader then suddenly dropped the other with out another word.

Once Kanan was dropped, Wyndel knew better than to race towards him, and in doing so might have lead to a death sentence himself. Yet, he had to do something even though he was completely sobbing ---- he once again had failed someone he cared for, and he couldn’t stop it.

[blindedspectre]

Kanan’s breaths came quick and short as they were able to come. The glowing red and the black of Vader were all he could see at them moment-it’d be the last thing he ever saw as terror started to fill him.

And then the blade touched him and a strangled scream left him, his legs kicking uselessly as the pain over flowed.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

Wyndel ended up falling to his knees, he said he would protect him, but could he? No, it was in that instance that he failed to protect him --- he lied, and he failed once again to protect who meant the most to him. Yet, this time it was taken by Vader himself --- that was worse than he could have ever imagined, “No..” He managed to get out numbly.

Vader kept the blade where it was, slowly making sure that there would be no way to repair the other’s sight, and make sure he was useless. A Jedi might have not needed to see, but Kanan was no Jedi --- nor, was he an Apprentice anymore in Vader’s mind. He was simply a broken tool that was best disposed of and left to rot. 

[blindedspectre]

The heat coming off the blade, how close to his eyes it was. It was already burning. That sense of dread was filling him as he was coming to the realization of what Darth Vader intended to take from him.

He could hardly breath and he could only stare at the red blade in his face. He didn’t even notice Wyndel come back in. Far to focused on what was about to happen to him.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

Vader didn’t even seem to care about Wyndel, there was no time for him to do anything, and worse than that? Well, the worst part was before he could even say anything, Vader already was moving the blade closer to Kanan’s eyes.

It was then that he pressed the blade forward, if anything, red was going to be the very last thing he would ever see, and he would know that his Master failed to save him. After-all, the weak were meant to suffer, and Kanan was weak.

[blindedspectre]

Kanan froze completely as the blade ignited. There was a look of horror on his face. Vader wasn’t going to kill him was he? He’d said he wasn’t…but that only left the bigger question…what was he going to do instead?

See. That word had meaning in it, even if the panic in his mind distorted it. He wasn’t to back away, he wanted to run. But he couldn’t, he was hardly breathing and at Darth Vader’s mercy. And he’d never heard of the man being merciful.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

He could feel the panic in the other, it didn’t bother him ---- it simply edged him on as he made his moved the blade in-front of Kanan’s eyes, “Tell your master that he should pick someone better next time or maybe he should see for himself.”

Again, the simple word See spoke volumes about what the Dark Lord meant. It was just then that Wyndel from wherever the hell he was, ended up walking in just in time to see the blade just inches away from Kanan’s eyes, and there was nothing he could do about it.

[blindedspectre]

Panic, pure panic was starting to go through him. He struggled against the hold but it was useless, he wasn’t going anywhere until Vader let go. His eyes widened-possibly for the last time- as he took his lightsaber in hand.

Last thing he ever saw? What did that mean?

“Wh-what are you doing?”

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

Did it matter what he was doing? No, but he thought the other would understand --- it was simple, but also complex. Apprentices were expendable and this one in-front of him was more than just that --- he had no value and could be exterminated with out a second thought.

“You will see, Apprentice.” He stated as he activated the blood red blade, “You will see soon enough.”

[blindedspectre]

Kanan let out a strangled sound as he was gripped with the Force. His legs kicked a little as the left the ground and his hands went to his throat. Oh that certainly wasn’t good.

When was Wyndel going to be back? Not soon enough he imagined. “I’ve-escaped dea-th, more times than I can count.” He wheezed out, eyes narrowing at the other, even as he struggled to breath.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

Vader kept his hold up on the Force firm, he wasn’t about to let the other go, but killing him would solve nothing. An Apprentice was replaceable --- Vader knew that, it was the rule of the Sith  ( one to have power and the other to grasp for it ).

“Your Master cannot save you now.” He stated firmly he gripped the lightsaber from his belt to his hand through the Force, “I want to be the last thing you ever see.”

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

When you start comparing, Vader, Arthas, and Victor against one another it’s time to do something else.

[chaos-squad]

Tari had been in Vader’s presence more times than she cared to think about. However, given her position—-that being the Second Inquisitor, just under the Grand Inquisitor in power and authority—-she had almost become used to it.

Her head tilting slightly in thought, Gavel and Strikeout behind her to lend their support should she need it. “He is…well, Lord Vader. Things have not quite gone as…expected.” But perhaps that is a good thing.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

“Not as expected?” The Sith Lord’s hand clenched and the un-clenched at his own words, “Results are what are needed.” It was results that he wanted, but it seemed like he wasn’t about to get them, and he would have to step-in.

“If the boy cannot be turned he will die. You know this.”

[blindedspectre]

He froze as he felt the anger-he always seemed to step out of line. But, that’s exactly who he was. He always pressed the buttons-pushed until he shouldn’t have.

He kept his gaze, just staring at the red lenses that bore holes into him. He swallowed thickly at his words. But, that didn’t stop him. “I’m something new.” He said. “Does that scare you?” He asked.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

It didn’t exactly scare him, but it was concerning --- more concerning than he was actually willing to admit for the time being. Yet, it was easier to simply deal with the problem now than to let it fester, and grow.

As such he moved his right hand up to grip Kanan’s throat with the Force and lift him up in the air a few feet. It wasn’t that he was going to kill him --- not yet anyways, but he was simply wanting to meet him at eye contact as he spoke again, “Death is too much of a blessing for you.”

[blindedspectre]

Kanan staid where he was, his eyes following Vader till he was out of view. He needed to stand firm, he couldn’t show his weaknesses. Not now, not in front of Darth Vader.

“Forgive me if I’m wrong, my Lord.” He started. “But aren’t you an apprentice as well?” He asked.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

At the final words, the Dark Lord came to a stop ---- it was amusement, but also there was something besides that. Anger, it formed right out of the amusement, and it didn’t fade.

In-fact, a moment or two passed as he just stared at the other before he spoke, “You’re Xylek’s Apprentice.” He stated, “I think it’s time I break his newest pet.”

[blindedspectre]

Kanan spun around as Vader approached, his hand went to his lightsaber. But he refrained from actually pulling it out. No this wasn’t good. He wasn’t anywhere near ready to be standing before the Darth Vader.

That breathing-it was terrifying.

He shifted and crossed his arms over his chest. It wasn’t often he had to look up, but he supposed it just added to Vader’s presence. He was bigger than life, he didn’t want to be here any more.

“I’m not a pet.” He said. Though he knew it wasn’t the truth, he may not seem himself that way. But, the Emperor most certainly did…though he hopped Wyndel didn’t.

“To what do I owe the visit?” His facade was back up.  

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

The Dark Lord kept his hands at his sides as he started to walk around the other as slowly as possible. He wanted to know what was so special about this child who was simply going to die 

“You’re the Apprentice.” He stated as he went completely silent, he wasn’t going to say anything for the time being, but rather, he was going to let his breathing do the talking for him. It might not have been true silence, but he was making sure to take in every single detail of the other --- from his height to how he held himself. Even his fear was on trial in the Dark Lord’s mind.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

@blindedspectre /// ANGST

Vader had heard from his own informants what the Emperor was doing, he hated the idea that he was REPLACEABLE, but it was more that a foolish child was going to be the one to replace him. Yes, he could have simply ignored the threat, and moved on, but he decided against it.

The only thing he could do was see what was so special about this new Apprentice of the Emperor’s. The Rule of two was something he strictly enforced, but this was more of a social call than anything. The Emperor might have a new pet, but even Vader had his own.

“So, you’re the newest pet.”

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

Vader did one draft...yay.

[specterxone-blog]

🔪

@vaderlordofthesith

He let out a pained cry. Though, really he should have just been thankful it was a knife and not his lightsaber.

“You…really think that will get me to join you?”

[specterxone-blog]

“Don’t do me any favors.” He spat, shaking his head a little. “What do you want from me?” Other than my death. Kanan felt like he was running out of luck, he’d been face to face with the Sith Lord more than most. Seeing as most others didn’t make it out alive.

[vaderlordofthesithmoved-blog]

“Information.” It was far more than that, but it was easier for Vader at least to start with the simple ideal of it, and then build from there, “You’re going to tell me what I want to know and you will tell it to me before I plunge my lightsaber through your heart.”
