DESTINED FOR GREATNESS.

Summary: Padme saved Anakin and they both went into hiding to keep Leia and Luke Safe. Sixteen years later, Luke is kidnapped and taken to Palpatine.

With no-one else to turn to, Anakin, Padme and Leia head to the hidden Jedi stronghold to ask for Obi-wan's help.

CHAPTER ONE.

Luke stared at the man in front of him, a man who was solely responsible for the pain and terror of an entire galaxy; he should have been angry or afraid or even hateful. Instead, he felt nothing towards him; no fear or anger or hate. No, this 'man' was a monster; causing pain chaos and terror was simply in his nature.

Emperor Palpatine looked at him and smiled, "you have arrived." He gestured to the chair opposite him, "come, sit my young friend, you must be tired after your journey."

Swallowing Luke took half a step forward, the guard behind him relaxed; whirling Luke lunged for the elevator door, if he could just make it inside_

It burned like fire, searing through his veins, burning waves of agony; his legs gave way beneath him and a primal scram tore from his lips, then the pain was gone.

"I would not try that again my friend," Palpatine's voice had turned cold, "now come sit with me."

Gasping Luke staggered slowly to his feet, his chest heaving as his body ached; his gaze flickered towards the door, but instead of making another attempt at escaping, Luke slowly walked forward.

SWSWSW

"You need my help?" Even though he had heard it with his own ears, Obi-wan still could not believe it.

Anakin swallowed and nodded, "yes." He looked at his old friend and former Master, once they had been closer than brothers; they had fought side by side, had saved each other more times than he could count. Now they were all but strangers.

Padme sighed and rolled her eyes, stepping forward she smiled. "Obi-wan, it's been far too long." The joy she felt at seeing him again was short-lived, "I only wish we had come under better circumstances."

Obi-wan nodded, smiling slightly at her. "I might understand better if I knew what the circumstances were."

Padme had barely opened her mouth to explain when Leia's voice cut her off, "it's about my brother Luke."

His attention went to her and Obi-wan instantly noted the girl's resemblance to Padme. "What is your name?"

"Leia." Glancing at her father she smiled weakly, "Leia Skywalker."

Obi-wan blinked, so this was Padme's child; frowning he cocked his head, "you mentioned your brother? Luke?"

Nodding Leia sniffed, fighting back tears. "All our lives, Emperor Palpatine has been trying to capture Luke ane me." Leia's voice broke, "two days ago, Luke was kidnapped."

Obi-wan stared at her in horror; he knew what Palpatine wanted with Luke, the mere thought of what the boy would go through made him shudder and if Palpatine were to succeed_

At that precise moment, Leia screamed in pain; crumpling to the ground she shrieked and wailed, sobbing as she curled into a foetal position. Anakin dropped to his knees beside her, drawing her into his arms.

"What's happening to her?" Obi-wan knelt, his eyes wide with shock.

Shaking his head, Anakin let out a shaking breath. "It's not her, it's Luke." Padme knelt beside him, stretching out a hand to gently sooth her daughter's screams.

After a minute Leia went still, gasping she sat up; pushing herself closer into Anakin's arms.

Standing, Anakin cradled her against his chest. Looking at Obi-wan's shocked expression he sighed. "Both Leia and Luke share a deep connection to each other through the Force; they can feel what the other feels both emotional and physical."

Obi-wan's eyes went wide, "so if Luke were to be hurt again_"

"Leia would feel his pain as if it were her own."
