LEGO Star Wars Story, Part 42: "Vader's Restoration"

cubed3 (59)in #story • 6 years ago

Boba Fett lads with his ship, the infamous, one of a kind Slave I behind Snoke who is still fighting the rebels. He exits his ship and walks over to Vader's badly damaged body. Snoke definitely put him through hell and back. Vader wanted to investigate his suspicions towards Snoke, he got way more than he bargained for. Snoke revealed himself to be an incredibly powerful dark force user and Vader didn't stand a chance. Boba Fett grabs him and pulls him into the ship.

Just a few meters in front of them Snoke is swinging his ancient lightsaber like a lunatic. It would almost look magical if every blast that he reflected didn't hit one of the freedom fighters trying to end him. The rebel forces can't do anything but walk to their death, if they try to run Snoke targets them first. Not even thirty seconds have passed and blasters can't be heard any more, all the rebels are lying on the ground and their bodies are lighten up by their shuttle's reflector.

Vader saw the journey only in flashes. He was lying in the salt which was eating at his exposed scarred skin, the next thing he saw was a bed in which he was lying and after the long darkness he was at medical table surrounded by droids repairing his suit and treating his cuts and tears. This doesn't happen often to him, but it does happen, the first time was when he was almost killed in the duel with his former master whom he swore to kill afterwards.

The droids finish up the repair and the table he was lying on rises to allow him to stand, he can barely stand up from a lying down position even when he isn't hurt. He heads off to see where he even is. Where had Boba Fett gone? He walks over to an officer and inquires of him where he is. He gets stunned after hearing the answer. He's on the Emperor's own Super Star Destroyer the Eclipse.

He rushes to the Emperor's room which he hes aboard each star destroyer in the navy, especially his own. As he approaches he notices stormtroopers in unusual armor, one he had never seen before, stormtrooper armor hasn't changed since the Empire's conception. He notices the massive black throne which was Palpatine's favorite and approaches him. His master greets him.

The throne swivels revealing the figure of his master he had known for years. His pale face looks straight at Vader and Vader bows to his mentor as he always does. Palpatine asks him to rise and walk with him. He explains that Boba Fett, after bringing in his damaged body on board, where he was almost killed numerous times, told him everything that had happened.

That he told him all about Snoke and his investigation. He reassures Vader that Snoke is not an enemy and that he isn't working against them. This obvious lie makes Vader even more suspicious of his master. Not only is the air around him different, but Boba Fett knew that he investigated the Emperor so he would never have told him and wouldn't have brought him directly to the Eclipse which he wouldn't even know the location of. What did actually happen when he was unconscious?
