A Bitter Ending
Candie K.
Author Note: This will be sad. And I know that all this doesn't kinda make seen in timing as the movie, but hey it's my story!
Dedication: To May Solo who made the list of what ifs, that gave me the idea.
"Never! I'll never turn to the dark side. You've failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me." Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight told the Emperor on the second Death Star.
"So be it...Jedi." Emperor said. Luke stands still not sure what is going to happen next, as the Emperor reaches the bottom of the stairs. The Emperor's laughter has turned to anger. He raises his arms toward Luke. "If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed." Bolts of energy come throw the Emperor's hands. Luke tries to deflect them, but there are too strong and powerful.
Wounded Vader makes his way to his feet, and moves and stand at his master's side. "Young fool...only now, at the end, do you understand." Said Palpatine as he moves closer to Luke.
Luke clutched a canister to keep from falling to the ground, but fails. "Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side. You have paid the price for your lack of vision." The Emperor continues.
Luke moves in pain. And reaches out to where his father stands. "Father, please. Help me," he called out.
"Now, young Skywalker...you will die," the Emperor told Luke, as the lighting blots increased. Luke's screams in pain more. Vader watches as his son dies slowly and painfully. In Luke's last thoughts were of Leia and how he failed his sister. Vader looks at the lifeless body. And anger arose in him, more then usually. He takes his lightsaber and cuts right through his former master. Anakin stays beside his son waiting for death to also take him.

On the Endor moon Leia heard her brother's saying that he was sorry. She felt as if something had been taken away from her. And she had an empty feeling inside. She watched as the Death Star blew up.
"I am sure that Luke wasn't on that thing when it blew," Han said to her as he tended to her wound.
Leia gave him a worried look. And tears came down her face. "No, Han," she told in a whisper. Han looked at her in shock.
How do you know that?" he asked, praying it wasn't true.
"He is my brother," she said. Han looked in more shock then before. Leia started to sob once more. Han held her tight.

Leia watched as the Rebels, celebrated or mourned. She still thought that Luke would come walking in at the last minute and be the center of attention as usual. She looked around once more. She looked off to the side and saw three shimmering, smiling figures at the edge of the shadows: Ben Kenobi, Luke, and Anakin
