Hey so this is a repost of a story beginning a friend of mine had posted a while ago. She has since discontinued writing and allowed me to continue. Chapter 1 to 3 are written by disturbedfaith. Everything after that is mine. Enjoy.

One moment they were watching Lando and Chewie fly away in the Falcon and the next they were blinded by a bright light. When Luke and Leia regained consciousness they were in a cave like dark room.

"What happened?" Luke asks confused.

"I don't know but maybe we have been captured by Imperial troops?" Leia answers him and in that moment the door opens and the Geonosian guards pull them out and onto a strange vehicle, that turns out to be a hovering carriage.

"These are Geonosians." Leia whispers in her friend's ear.

"But how is this possible? We haven't even been near Geonosis, right?" Luke gives back totally confused but he gets no answer as Leia has spotted the other carriage with the young couple in it.

"What is it Leia?"

"Don't you get it?"

"What should I get? We are apparently not alone in this mess, great. That doesn't bring us back or frees Han!"

In that moment the carriages start to move and for the first time Anakin and Padme realize that they have an audience. The guards steered the carriage in the middle of the arena and stopped in front of the four huge pillars. And the second the carriages left the dungeon like cave the roar of a thousand creatures caught the ears of the four young people. Luke was shocked. He never had really experienced a spectacle like this but he saw how calm his companion's stayed. Leia could sense that Luke didn't feel all that good and before she was pulled away she smiled at him reassuringly. In a matter of seconds Luke noticed that there was already a man bound to one of the pillars.

'He looks familiar!' was his only thought.

Then he heard him speak.

"I was beginning to think you hadn't gotten my message!"

"I retransmitted it just as you requested master and then we decided to come and rescue you!" the young man gave back.

"Good Job!" came the sarcastic reply.

'So they know each other?'

In the meantime the girls have been bound to the same pillar and silently Padme signaled the other one that she had a way to get free. Leia nodded her head and after they were free they climbed on top of 'their' pillar. All the while Leia wracked her brain as to why the woman next to her seemed so familiar and then suddenly it hit her.

'Senator Amidala of Naboo? But that isn't possible she died years ago! I need to talk to Luke!'

Luke could sense her uneasiness but right now he had bigger problems and couldn't help her. Luke had observed the other two men closely and he heard a very familiar phrase out of the mouth of the older one.

"Use the force your eyes can deceive you!"

'Jedi?' That was the last clear thought he could form before one of the monster like creatures attacked him.

Luke's first concern had been Leia but as the older one of the two Jedi pointed out the girls literally were on top of it. In this situation Luke was particularly thankful for what Yoda had put him through on Dagobah, because he had the reflexes to escape the creature's attacks. Meanwhile the girls had to fight of a strange mixture between dog and a tiger. They both got scratches but they won their fight. Padme decided to learn more about the two strangers that seemed so familiar and yet she was sure she had never met them before.

"When we fight together we can learn also each other's names. I am Padme!" she offered the other girl.

"I am Leia and you are the senator of Naboo, right?"

"So you are from the republic?"

"You could say that!"

In this moment their conversation was disrupted by Anakin.

"Jump!" he told them and so they did.

After the Obi Wan also had jumped onto the creature Ani was using as a horse only Luke was fighting on his own but not for long. Luke ran to meet the others and he had just arrived at their side when they were being circled by droidikas.

'Great now everything is over!' Luke thought but Leia knew that the Jedi would arrive and kept calm.

She wanted to tell Luke not to worry but she couldn't right now. And she didn't need to because all around the huge arena one could hear light saber igniting. Leia and Padme both took a blaster and started to fight. Obi Wan and Anakin received a saber from another Jedi. Luke had not yet a weapon and Obi wan felt as if the boy wanted to ask something.

"Do you know how to use this?" he asked and holds up a saber.

Luke nods his head and says "Yes I was taught how to fight with one!"

"I hope you are telling the truth!" the Jedi Master said and gave Luke a saber all the while thinking.

'Who trained the boy? I will have to talk to the council about this! Maybe he is a Sith apprentice? No I can sense no darkness in him only deep confusion!'

With the arrival of the clones Luke and Leia got separated from their new found friends and the young woman could finally inform her friend of her suspicions. When Luke saw her again his first words were

"Leia were you hurt?"

"No I wasn't and I can see that you survived too!" they hugged each other both thankful for their unharmed state.

"I still don't understand what happened!" Luke said in distress.

"Luke I may have an idea but it sounds crazy!"

"What? Tell me! It can't be worse than what Vader told me!" Leia was stunned.

"What did Vader tell you? Is this why you seemed so distracted?"

"I don't want to talk about it now! Just tell me your idea, please!" Just when Leia was about to continue to speak the door to their compartment swooshed open and a very familiar droid entered.

"Hello I am C3PO and I am supposed to bring you to Master Anakin! Are you ready?"
