Why HELLO everyone! Yes! Here it is! The sequel! FINALLY! WHEEE HOOO! ALL RIGHT! Eh-hem. Before I get carried away, I have to tell you something very important.
Something Very Important: Listen, dudes, I know how much you all enjoy Reviewers Torturing Sith Lords. I do as well. But, I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't make your requests long. This story is focusing on Elena, so please try to make your dialogues short. Thanks!
Well, isn't it a wonderful day on Coruscant? The sun is shining, speeders zooming, reviewers having a marvelous time here in the Temple..
(Xizor walks in) Xizor: Ah... you there! Creature! Lower being! Have you seen Princess Leia?
(I blink, staring) Excuse me? (Leia walks in)
Xizor: AH! My beautiful Leia! Your hair shines like a thousand suns, your eyes the color of... dirt, your mouth, the shape of a... pear, your perfume... the scent of a bantha!
(Leia stares at him) Leia: Excuse me? (Reviewers walk in)
Celt: (arm in arm with Luke) Hey guys, it's almost time!
Phylitr: For?
Adame: Time for the judges to decide what's the next torture for the Sith and Princes! (Everyone claps excitedly and hurry into the court room, where there is a panel of judges. At the center, on the highest podium, the head judge turns the chair to face the reviewers, showing who it is...)
Zim: HEY! It's Jedi X-Man Serena Kenobi!
(Luke, Leia, Han, and Qui-Gon are the other judges.)
Why hello there!
Raven: What a big surprise...
I know, isn't it? We'll begin in a moment. But now, before we go any further, let's start with the sequel, shall we? COURT IS NOW IN SESSION! (Bangs on table with little hammer)
I Am Me: I Won't Change For Anyone

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Elena Skywalker, the daughter of Lord Darth Vader, has been living with her father for over four years now, and is growing stronger in the Force. Her triplet brother Luke is also in training, and they meet almost every night, as they have been for the past few years. Because of these Force visions that bring them together across the galaxy, they can communicate and train without being found out. Elena is beginning to worry about the choice she will soon have to make: A Jedi or a Sith.
Darth Vader is taking up his role as a father, and is slightly overprotective of his daughter. It is because of her influence that he is slowly starting to have doubts about the Emperor and his title as a Sith lord, though he is still one.
Elena's best friend, Mara Jade, is beginning to become suspicious of her best friend, getting the feeling that she is hiding something of great importance from her.
One of Elena's other good friends, and her unknown sister, Leia, still keep in contact, but the Princess has no idea of her real heritage. Elena will have to wait until the right moment to tell her.
Now, the Emperor is disliking and fearing Elena more and more, and Elena is starting to feel some pressure, especially from the Imperial courts. She will have to double her guard to survive….
Three years after the mission on Cato Neimoidia...
A beautiful seventeen year old Elena Skywalker brushed a bit of her strawberry blonde hair back, eyebrows furrowing. She had grown taller, but was still much shorter than her father and a bit shorter than Luke, who had grown as well. She was slim, had bright, intelligent blue eyes, and a beautiful white smile. Elena had grown, both in knowledge and in height, in the past four years, and was an expert with her lightsabers. Her mutant powers were also becoming easier to control, and they were more powerful, but they were still kept a secret. Elena had changed, and she knew it.
Leia was in constant contact with her, and though Elena had never been to Alderaan yet, she was planning to go as soon as she got the chance. Visiting Luke on Tatooine was also a priority on her list. But now, things were changing for her. She was more involved in politics and the Imperial Palace, and more and more she was disliking the Emperor and his ways of controlling the galaxy. She also realized how many people wished to be in her father's place or have control of the galaxy, such as Prince Xizor, Ysanne Isard, also nicknamed 'Iceheart', Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was a cruel alien with bright red eyes, and many others.
Her father, on the other hand, had started to become more easier to live with. Yes, he still was very much a Sith lord, but Elena had noticed some changes in him. He was more somewhat caring at times, more humorous, and had spent more time with her. The two of them had indeed formed an exceedingly strong Force bond, and Elena could tell that the Emperor didn't like it one single bit.
The Emperor had, in fact, become even more hostile towards her, if that was possible, but Elena didn't care. She had her father, and that was all that mattered. She still continued to hope that she could bring Vader back to the Light Side of the Force, since she had nearly made up her mind not to become a Sith. But there were still times when her stubbornness and recklessness needed to be controlled.
Mara Jade, Beyoncé, and Keira were still her closest friends, other than Leia, and Elena still saw them at school every day. Mara was now a slim, beautiful red-headed young lady, stubborn, fiercely independent, and tough. She was now one of the Emperor's Hands, but deep in her heart, she still did not like the Emperor. Talking with Elena also fueled her dislike of him, but outside it appeared that she worshipped him. She was a close confidant of Elena, and spent numerous amounts of time with her. Vader had nearly become a second father to her, and she turned to him for guidance. This the Emperor didn't like, either.
Beyoncé was a taller, exceedingly gorgeous young lady, sparkling black eyes and wavy lighter brown hair that fell past her shoulders. She was always there to bring humor and light to the situation, and was vital to the group. Everyone loved her, but she wasn't afraid to speak up.
Keira was tall and slim, very beautiful, and sometimes quite thoughtful. She was like her father in the way that they both were quick thinkers, always on their feet, and ready to take orders. Keira was also a very intelligent girl, and knew what to say if any of the others were stumped. She had light brown eyes, chestnut colored hair that went a little ways past her shoulders, and pale pink lips.
All the girls were more involved in court and politic matters, being much older and more experienced, and all of them knew how to fly, and did it very well. The girls were all very close, though Mara and Elena shared a special bond.
Luke was now a much more experienced young man, with sandy blonde hair that fell in a slight curl, sparkling blue eyes, and handsome features. He was now a master at lightsaber dueling and was quick on his feet. He was very bright and also very powerful. He hadn't managed to get off Tatooine yet, but he knew that he would someday. Owen and Beru still had no idea that Luke knew who he was and who his father was. He was sad that he and Elena couldn't tell Leia who she really was, but he and Elena knew that the Force was waiting until the right time to tell her the news. They would have to wait.
"So I was like, dude, there's no way I'm ever going to go out with you, I mean, your father's a total idiot for Force's sake!" Elena said into her comlink. She had Mara on the line at the moment. "I swear, if I see him again…. Uggh!"
"Yeah," Mara replied, "I can't believe he actually had the guts to ask you out. Gerjen Ozzel's a complete jerk. He knows how much Vader hates his dad, and still he wants to take Vader's daughter out for a date! Doesn't the guy have a clue? Does he have no brain at all? Your father's SO protective of you! He's been the typical father, guarding you from the boys. It's actually kind of funny."
Elena rolled her eyes. "I bet no one ever expected Lord Vader to be a parent, especially one who's an overprotective father," she answered. "But I don't mind it, I mean, it's cool. I'm glad he's watching out for me."
"Your father definitely has loosened up," Mara agreed, "He's gotten a lot easier to be around. Maybe it's because of your influence."
Elena shrugged. "Maybe, I hope so. Anyways, I gotta run, tons of things to do. Homework, lightsaber practice, pilot training, and then I have to go to the Imperial Palace and watch some boring old politicians debate some stupid matter."
"Sounds like fun," Mara replied dryly.
"Yeah, well, whatever. See you tomorrow at school," Elena answered.
"You too. And try to stay away from Gerjen, I have a feeling he's not gonna let this thing go," Mara warned.
Elena sighed. "Thanks, I'll try. Skywalker out." She shut off her comlink and glanced at Geenine, who was right in front of her, listening in on their conversation. "Well, Geenine," Elena said, getting up from her position on her bed, "Got things to do. I'll see you later."
Geenine beeped a goodbye as she watched Elena leave the room.
Elena strode into the hangar bay, spotted her self-made speederboard, called it to her, and raced out of the bay into the Coruscant sky. She zoomed towards the Imperial Palace, dodging traffic and numerous speeders and starships, only to end up on the front steps of the Palace. She ran up the steps, was allowed admittance, and carefully hid behind a pillar before morphing herself into a regal looking gown with a very elegant hairstyle.
She cleared her throat, straightened out her robes, and entered the Emperor's Throne Room. The Throne Room was a deep-set auditorium like a huge crater dug into bedrock. In the audience decks, there were flat marble benches arranged in long curves, where guests could come to hear any pronouncements from the Emperor himself, or debates and announcements by various politicians and senators. What was distinctive about this chamber was that the audience could hear everything the Emperor or politician said; Palpatine was also able to hear anything said to him from the audience decks.
There were a few movable pods, just like in the senate, reserved for the highest rulers and dignitaries. At the height of the throne room was an angled, prismatic porthole, which allowed rays of light onto the Emperor in his large and luxurious chair.
Elena walked along the long rows of the benches until she came to one of the pods. She entered it and sat down next to her father, who was listening, seeming rather bored, on the conversation. "What'd I miss?" she whispered.
"Nothing," Vader replied dryly. "I was never interested with politics."
Elena smirked. "Then it's a good thing that I am," she answered, "I still don't understand why the Emperor wants you to listen in on these types of things. You don't really need to. All you have to do is–"
"Run them through with my lightsabers, I know," Vader interrupted wryly. "But you can't just go around killing senators for no good reason, the Emperor would be very displeased."
Elena shrugged. "Ah, well, who needs Senators, anyways," she sighed. She turned her attentions to the debate, which included a girl of her own age and a Senator of the Old Republic called Mon Mothma.
The girl, who was named Leonia Tavira, was a sixteen-year old Moff, the youngest Moff ever recorded in history. She had been the mistress of a Moff, and soon after that became his wife. Shortly after, he committed suicide, and she took his place. She was quite pretty, with shoulder length black hair and violet eyes. Elena was curious to see what would happen.
"And so, we should strive to keep the Senate in tacked, for without it, who then will help to decide the fate of the galaxy?" Mon questioned earnestly. Elena decided that she liked her. After all, she had been a very good friend of her mother's.
"But if we have the regional governors control the planets, then we won't need a Senate," Leonia retorted, glaring at Mon. "All we need is the Moffs to help keep the systems in line, and only then will we have a peaceful Empire."
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my entire life," Elena hissed angrily, blue eyes flashing. "Who does this girl think she is, the Empress herself? She certainly acts like one." Elena thought her a brat.
"What would you have them do?" Vader questioned, mask wheeling to face her. "I am curious to see how you would control the Senate."
Elena frowned thoughtfully. "Well, I would definitely keep the Senate in tacked," she replied, "I would have an equal amount of each of separate parties; wait, first I would have two parties, one for the Empire or something like that, and one for the opposing side. No, hold it, I would have two opposing parties. Then I would have a Galactic leader, a Chancellor, like before, and he would help agree what is in the best interest of all the people, and then do it! The senators from the opposing parties would listen to each other's views and decide what the best thing to do would be."
Vader stared at her. "You are so much like your mother," he stated wistfully.
"So if we kept the governors in place, then–" Leonia started.
"I would like to hear what Lady Elena Skywalker, the daughter of Lord Vader, has to say," The Emperor suddenly cut in. "I think she has something on her mind that perhaps she should tell us."
Everyone began talking and whispering, and Elena sat there, shocked. Why on earth would Palpatine want to hear her? He hated her!
"What's going on?" She muttered to her father.
Ooh, cliffie! Mwa ha ha ha... EH-HEM! Court shall now come to order. (Bangs on hammer again.)
Qui-Gon: In favor of the reviewers, the Sith lords and the Princes will now be put on trial. Their fate will be decided over the course of this story. They will endure such torture as whatever the reviewers of this story wish.
