Chapter 1: The message
Luke gazed to the stars from the forest moon of Endor, where he had been hiding with the rest of the alliance, trying to stay out of the Empires reach and Darth Vaders. Luke looked down to his robotic hand, he revisited the moment that he found out that Vader was his father. He still couldn't quite get to grips with it.
Luke gazed into the woodland that surrounded the base, he had journeyed for miles in search for something to break his boredom. He had spent many days travelling far with the moons inhabitant Ewoks, they knew a lot of the surrounding forest that led up to the mountains far into the distance. He had been there once, the climb had nearly exhausted Luke and he spent the next few days in the hospital getting lechers from Leia about 'travelling so far and taking risks'. Luke took no note from her lechers and in a few days he was off again before the nurses even said he could go.
That night Luke sat in the main conference room with the others, it had been the same speech for nearly a month, they always stated that they would be leaving the moon in a matter of days, but as new predictions that the Empire had returned the move was proposed time and time again. This was beginning to irritate Luke, but as he stared at the aircraft that sat waiting patiently in the landing dock, there was an ear shattering scream from the civilians that sort refused at the base.
In a second the room had raised to it's feet and dashed out. They gathered at the entrance to the landing docks. Luke looked to the sky and to his horror he saw a large planet like structure linger in the darkness, Luke grasped his lightsabre as he stared upon the Star Destroyer , the name 'Darth Vader' echoed through his thoughts.
Suddenly the screens behind them flickered to a new channel, Luke ran to the closes one. As it stopped buffering the mask of his father came up on the large screen. The crowd stared in terror, their eyes glued to the screen, then came the ghostly voice that they knew all too well, "Rebel alliance, I have an other to propose to you. Think carefully about your next decision." Faces in the crowed looked to Leia for hope but found none, she was as distressed as the rest of them. Vader began to speak again "You have 12 hours to bring the one name Luke Skywalker to me, or else this moon will be destroyed with your alliance and hope with it." At that the screens turned black before returning to the previous screen before the speech, and all eyes fell onto Luke.
He rushed to the nearest aircraft, he had began to board when he as tugged back to the ground by Leia. Leia looked into the eyes of her brother, who had had used the force to located his twin sister before realizing it was Leia and revealing the information to her. "Oh no, you're not going anyway. Do you understand?" She order Luke her voice filled with anger.
"No! I'm going" Luke snapped to his sister.
"It's no your choice. You will stay here until I say, not because I'm your sister and that I care about you it because I am the leader of this alliance and I will not let one of my men walk to his death!" Her breathing began to steady but her hand gripped Luke's black shirt tightly. She summoned two of her personal guard "Take Luke to his chambers and do not allow him to leave. Do I make myself clear?" Both men nodded before escorting Luke to his chamber.
Luke sat on the end of his bed puzzling his way through his thoughts 'I need to get out of here' he concluded. He unlocked the window and slowly made his way down the side of the temple, the rock that had been exposed to the elements made it easier than Luke had anticipated. With his lightsaber in hand he rushed to the landing docks, there he boarded the first aircraft he came across before blasting into the sky. He wouldn't let his friends die for him.
