(Escaping from the Imperial Navy. )

Chapter nine:

As Venus walked down to the bridge she past the flight deck and thought about Vader.

Come to think of it he never told her about his past. She wanted to learn more. Who was the man that cut off his limbs? Who was he before the Dark Lord?

She just wanted more information about him, but she knew that Vader would not give her any information nor the Emperor. She looked at her Tie Interceptor and stood there for a minute.

She started up the controls and took off.

The Executor was chasing her and in this small ship she couldn't out run it or battle it. She should know something that could stop it from chasing her. She turned around put all power on forward shields and hoped this idea would work.

Tagge watched the ship coming towards him as he ducked and the ship passed them. Where is the ship now? Said Tagge. An officer responded. Sir the ship as disappeared.

Vader had just stepped onto the bridge. Tagge dropped to his feet. Sir I am sorry but we have lost the ship. Tagge was getting ready for the Force Choke that Vader had put on other officers that had failed him, but it never came.

Vader was to preoccupied by his apprentice jumping ship. He could not feel her presence anymore. She must be masking her presence he thought to himself. He would inform the Emperor and maybe he would know where she went.

In the shadows of the Executor Venus had attached her ship to where the sensors would not detect her. She was real glad that she remembered to dissemble the transmitter that they put on her ship. She had remembered Imperial procedure that before they went into hyperspace they would dump the thrash. The hatch opened and there went the garbage. Now she detached herself and would float away like the rest of the garbage.

They jumped into hyperspace and she was safe. The only place she could think of to start her search was the planet that gave birth to the Empire, Coruscant. She started the engines and went into hyperspace towards Coruscant.

Back on the Executor Vader kneeled before the image of his master.

The Emperor had his eyes closed searching the Force to see where Venus was located. I see her on Coruscant searching for records of your past. But do not go to her. She will sense you and ran away. Let me go to her because I can persuade her better than you can.

Yes my master. The image disappeared and Vader knew he could not let his master get to her before him. Because she disobeyed him his master would certainly destroy her. He turned around and the visor screen showed the image of Tagge once again. Commander Tagge.

Yes, Lord Vader.

I wanted to be on Coruscant an hour ago.

At once my Lord.
