Chapter 12
Rohan picked Vader's saber up and examined the black and silver hilt. He turned away from Vader and was silent as the sith lord's droning breathing pattern allowed him to nearly zone out.
"I could end this. All the tyranny. All the fear. All the suffering. What you should wonder is why I won't."
"Perhaps it is because you are too weak to do it."
Rohan paused for a minute. He turned back around and looked at Vader. He then picked up his own blade that had fallen. Rohan dusted off his blade and noticed another lightsaber on Vader's belt. He used the force and took it examining and almost instantly recognizing it.
"So you did keep it. There was a rumor that Obi-Wan's lightsaber was destroyed with the Death Star."
Rohan put the blade on his belt and went back to examining Vader's blade. He looked at Vader and examined the suit that supposedly kept the man alive. He noticed something odd about it and was shocked by what he had seen.
"Did he tell you that this was the best he could do for you?"
"Obi-Wan?"
"No. The Emperor."
"He said this suit would keep me alive. He saved my life."
"Well not quite. There is so much more he could've done to restore your strength. And that suit isn't keeping you alive, it's just slowing down the process of your body dying."
Rohan reached into a pouch on his belt and grabbed a small computer chip and a vile full of a blue substance. He that walked over to the sith lord and opened his chest piece. He inserted the computer chip and then closed the panel. He then walked around Vader and lifted his cape. He inserted the vile so that the life support system would actually keep him alive.
"Why did you do that for me?"
"Because I've seen your future and I know what is to come."
"What will you do know? Your men have overthrown my army. How do you expect them to allow you to let me go?"
"That was always the plan. We came here because I knew I had to fight you and then help you. The wookies were just an added bonus. Mark my words Vader. Not everything you've been told by the Emperor is truth."
Rohan attached Vader's saber to the sith lord's belt and then left. As he left two scout troopers arrived and escorted Vader to a medical shuttle.
Rohan met up with Covena, Emilia, Valor, and Jumper and told them that the plan was a success. The men, walkers, and tanks were airlifted back to the fleet. Emilia and Rohan were left alone as they waited for a gunship.
"So where to next Rohan."
"The outer rim. I hear there's a man called Galen Marek who apparently is also a Jedi and Sith."
"Let's go then."
"Ok."
