LORDS OF DARKNESS.

Luke is captured on the first Death Star, when he finds out that Vader is his father, he joins him, pledging himself to the Sith. (Suitless Vader)

PROLOGUE.

Han, Chewie, Luke, and Leia tensely watch Vader and Obi-wan dueling. As the Stormtroopers rushed toward the battling knights, Han looked at Luke and Leia. "Now's our chance! Go!" They ran for the Millennium Falcon.

Obi-wan saw the troops charging toward him and realized that he was trapped. Vader took advantage of Obi-wan's momentary distraction and brought his mighty lightsaber down on the old man. Obi-wan managed to deflect
the blow and swiftly turned around.

The old Jedi Knight looked over his shoulder at Luke, lifted his sword from Vader's then watched his opponent with a serene look on his face. Vader swung his sword down, cutting Obi-wan in half. Obi-wan's cloak fell to the floor in two parts, but Obi-wan was not in it. Puzzled at Obi-wan's disappearance, Vader poked at the empty cloak.

While the guards were distracted, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2 and 3PO reached the starship. Luke saw Obi-wan cut in two and started for him. Aghast, he yelled out. "No!"

The stormtroopers turned toward Luke and begin firing at him. R2 and 3PO were already moving up the ramp into the Millennium Falcon, while Luke, transfixed by anger and awe, returned their fire.

Han joined in the laserfire as Vader looks up and advanced toward them. Still firing, han looked at Luke, "Come on!"

When Luke ignored them, Leia called to him. "Come on! Luke, its too late!"

"Blast the door! Kid!"

Finally listening, Luke fired his pistol at the door control panel, and it exploded. The door began to slide shut. Three troopers charged forward firing laser bolts, as the door slid to a close behind them, shutting Vader and the other troops out of the docking bay.

A stormtrooper lay dead at the feet of his onrushing compatriots. Luke started for the advancing troops, as Han and Leia move up the ramp into the pirate ship. He fired, hitting a stormtrooper, who crumbles to the floor. The other Stormtroopers fired, one of the blaster bolts hitting Luke in his left shoulder, knocking him to the ground.

Cursing, Han moved to run to him, only to be cut off by a volley of blaster fire from the remaining Stormtroopers. When he saw Vader's lightsaber cutting through the door, Han swore. "We have to get out of here!"

"But Luke-!"

"There's nothing we can do for him!" Han glanced at Luke's motionless body and cursed, "we need to leave, now!"

Dragging Leia onto the ship, Han ran to the cockpit. He pulled back on the controls and the ship began to move. The dull thud of laser bolts bouncing off the outside of the ship as Chewie adjusted his controls.

"I hope the old man got that tractor beam out of commission, or this is going to be a real short trip." Han said, looking at Chewie. "Okay, hit it!"

Luke looked up as the Millennium Falcon shot away from the Death Star's docking bay, it made a spectacular turn and disappeared into the vastness of space. His eye were wide as he watched the ship fly away, leaving him trapped on the Death Star. The Stormtroopers reached him, they bent down, grabbing him. Luke struggling as he was pulled to his feet -
And froze as he saw Vader approaching, His eyes wide, Luke stared at him in terror. Vader stopped in front of him, simply watching him for a moment, then his gaze flicked to the lightsaber clipped to his belt.

"Take him to the detention level," Vader commanded as he looked to the Stormtroopers, "I will question him myself."
