Imperial Space Station Devastation
Darth Vader was in a foul mood for the last few days since his brother and the others escaped from him, and it showed with some of the lives he had taken! Quite a few officers were very reluctant to tell him anything that might cost them their lives! He kept looking through the viewport expecting some news on what was going on with the Republic and their answer to their surrender! He decided to make his move, and now!
"Adm. Daala, I need to speak to you! Come here to the command center right now!" He demanded over the comm. system.
He saw that the commander of the Imperial Stormtroopers was standing by, and making sure that the Imperial Stormtroopers were always ready for when their Lord commanded them! He saw that Adm. Daala was nearly running into the command center with her hair still dripping wet from the shower she had to leave now! She bowed to her commander.
"Adm. Daala, prepare all ground troops and fighters for attack! I want revenge on what happened on Bespin, and I'm tired of the Republic not responding on their surrender! We will attack various worlds at the same time so their fleet and Jedi are spread out too thin! I want prisoners, no deaths! I want to turn the Jedi into more Dark Side Adepts! Do I make myself clear on this Adm.?!" Vader said while his had was near his Lightsaber!
"Yes milord, your orders will be carried out. What about Ordo? Will there be any rescue attempts for her?" Adm. Daala was wondering about Vader's second-in-command.
"She is very resourceful Admiral. I'm sure she's working on a way to escape and to rejoin us soon. And when she does, we'll be ready for any Jedi that comes after her!" Vader told the Adm. with some vehemence in his voice.
Adm. Daala then left Lord Vader to issue orders and such. The commander of the Imperial Stormtroopers ordered all Troopers to be ready at a moment's notice, and all fighter pilots were to be ready to launch as well! Vader smiled behind his mask, and wondered how long it would be for his family would come to confront him!
Coruscant – Jedi Temple
As Padme left the command center with Anakin and Luke and Leia, her commlink went off. She activated it, and saw an image of her mother. She smiled at the image before speaking.
"Mother, this is a pleasant surprise to hear from you. What's going on?" Padme inquired.
"The family was rescued from that nasty Empire that invaded Naboo. Didn't you hear about that?" Jobal asked Padme.
"We've been quite busy ourselves mother. I heard a bit of what happened. I hope everyone is fine." Padme said with regret in her voice.
"Your father is fine Padme, along with everyone else. If you and the family had been here, I'm sure that the Empire would have been no match for the Skywalkers! I'm sure Brian would have taken quite few of them out if he was still alive Padme." Jobal said with sadness in her voice.
Padme started to tear up once hearing her son's name. She spoke a bit more before telling her mother that she had to go and do somethings. She then went to Anakin, and he wrapped his arms around her as she started to cry now! Luke and Leia went to comfort their mother as well. After a few minutes, the broke apart and headed home for now.
Piett Residence
"Jillian, what were you thinking of by going after Vader like that? You could have been injured or worse. Why did you and your cousin go after him to begin with, and without permission from the Jedi Council as well. I only found out after you returned home to Coruscant. I want some answers Jillian, so please give me some." Adm. Piett said to his daughter.
"I thought that Mara and I could do something since Brian's passing daddy. I needed to see if we could get to Darth Vader, and hoping to see if he would give up the Dark Side and become a Jedi. I wished that we had done so, and everything would be fine. I'm sorry for leaving like this daddy. Please forgive us." Jillian said with a small smile and tears on her face now.
Firmus Piett knew that his one and only daughter meant what she had said. He smiled at her and hugged her now. She hugged her father back, and hoping silently that there is a way to bring Brian back from the Dark Side, and back to the Light Side now. She broke the hug and went into her room and cried now for the one person that she loves most and hoping that he can return not only to his family and the Jedi, but to her as well. She prayed to the Maker to help now, for the galaxy needed a miracle now!
Alderaan – Bail Organa's Office
Bail Organa was sitting at his desk going over reports now of the Empire making well-coordinated attacks across the Republic! He issued orders to the fleet to engage the enemy fleet and ground troops! Hopefully the Jedi will come up with something that will turn the tide of battle to their favor! His secretary announce that there was someone here to see him, and it was urgent! He told her to let the person in.
Bail saw it was one of his agents, and told him to sit down. The agent did, and handed Bail Organa a disk that he put into the player, and watched it! He saw it was a meeting of the Jedi Council discussing on how to stop Vader once and for all! Then there was something that really caught his attention, and he played it louder so he could hear it more clearly! He then discovered that Darth Vader and Brian Skywalker were in the same! He told the agent that he could leave now and his money will be sent to his account soon. The agent nodded his head and got up and left.
Bail Organa was beside himself now! He didn't think that one of the Jedi's own could be turned to the Dark Side and do all that he is doing now! He was wondering if he should tell the Jedi Council what he knows, or tell the Senate about this and then there would be an uproar on this information. He wasn't sure what to do, but he vowed that he would to the right thing not only for Padme his friend, but that of the galaxy as well! He then returned to his paperwork and think this over.
