A/N Thanks for the positive reception to the last chapter. I was worried that I would get a lot of hate for not updating any of my other stories and for starting on my third franchise. This chapter will once again have a few time skips so I am sorry if it gets a little confusing.
Chapter 2
When Luke turned fourteen he was considered by each of his masters to be a very talented swordsman and a hugely powerful force user. By sixteen he was a master duellist and could outright beat each of his masters when pushed to his limit. His force abilities where hugely extensive. While he refused to use the darkside of the force he was proficient in such techniques as force judgement, and in Tutaminis.
Maul continued to teach him separately from both Obi-Wan and A'Sharad, he did however acknowledge their tutoring going as far as to in a roundabout manner complement their own skills and teaching. He was however frustrated with the way in which Luke openly avoided the darkside. He did not try to force it upon his apprentice.
Luke had chosen to avoid using the darkside because of his father. On his fourteenth birthday Obi-Wan took him to one side and told him.
Flashback
"Luke, come here."
"Yes master."
"What do you know of your father?" Obi-Wan asked.
Luke immediately lost some of his energy and his expression darkened down. "I know that he was a pilot in the Republic. I also know that he was close to you. Luke looked up, "not much else."
Obi-Wan sighed. This was still difficult for him. "I met your father with my master while on Tatooine. My Mater found an incredibly high level of force sensitivity in him and we took him to the Jedi temple. My master was killed by Maul." Obi Wan paused briefly. "I then took on your father, Anakin as my padawan." Luke looked at Obi-Wan questioningly. "We fought together through many things and then just before the clone wars he became a full Jedi Knight. We fought together throughout the clone wars as two of the most feared Jedi. However unknown to me he had married Padmé Amidala. If only I had…." He stopped, "I digress, he was then manipulated by a man called Palpatine. He became disillusioned to the Jedi order. The turning point was his betrayal of Master Windu and in defence of Palpatine, now known as the emperor." Obi-Wan looked Luke straight in the eyes. "I confronted him on Mustafar, where we duelled. I defeated him and left him there. I had thought him dead but within a month the Emperor had revealed his apprentice, Darth Vader."
Luke was silent. He shook his head, "Darth Vader is not my father, Anakin Skywalker is." He turned and walked away back to a waiting A'Sharad Hett."
End of Flashback
Luke had not talked to anyone of his masters about his father since then. He had made an extra effort not to follow his father and refused to use any darkside abilities. He did however use force Judgement, a weaker version of force lightning discovered by Jedi Master Plo Koon.
Maul also made sure that he was at least proficient in most other weapons that he would come across. His hand to hand combat was as formidable as Maul's himself, Maul having been trained to near perfection in Teräs Käsi; he made sure that Luke was just as proficient in the technique.
Although Luke was an incredible student he was not one for being cooped up. Almost whenever he had free time he went out on his speeder, one which he had made himself.
He was about to leave on one of his many trips round Tatooine when a beep was heard from behind him. He turned to see a small R2 unit droid. The droid turned down the stairs of where Obi-Wan and A'Sharad were living. Luke sighed and got off his speeder. He followed the little droid down the steps.
"Obi-Wan, there is a droid here."
The Jedi in question came out from the kitchen, "R2D2." He said announcing the droid.
The R2 unit beeped and then turned on a hologram message.
A man in smart attire appeared. "Obi-Wan Kenobi, if you are reading this then this R2 unit has reached you. I bring dire news. My daughter, Princess Leia of Alderaan has been captured and taken hostage on Kashyyyk. I have my arm tied behind my back and the Imperials know it. We had a breakthrough and now we cannot do anything about it." He paused briefly. "If you my old friend could help me in these dire times then I would be most grateful. Your old friend Senator Bail Organa."
Obi-Wan stared at the message as the blue light retreated back into the R2 unit. He turned to Luke, "I have to help."
Luke nodded expecting this. A'Sharad nodded, walking into the room, "I agree, however this seems like the perfect mission for you Luke."
Obi-Wan nodded, "You are easily capable enough and I am getting on a bit." He smiled and turned to A'Sharad, "As are you my friend." He paused, "We could meet with the Senator, if you leave the planet so shall we. The Jedi shall leave hiding."
Luke left the Hut grim faced. He would have to tell his other Master. He had a very different relationship with Maul. With the two Jedi he was like a son/ student. With Maul he was strictly a student. There were flashes of kindness from the ex-Sith Lord but he was Strict to the extent of cruelty at times. Maul was however an incredible teacher, he was what had made Luke into the fighter he was. Obi-Wan and A'Sharad had helped to form the more refined technique and had made him far more rounded as a combatant, but it was Maul who had trained him every day from the age of four.
Luke was worried; he was not sure how his Master would react to his new mission.
When he reached the other Hut he had spent most of his life so far he walked in to find Maul looking right at him. "I could feel your worry from a mile away." He shook his head, "You have so much power but you need to shield your emotions better, much better."
He turned back to his lightsaber reconstruction, which he did almost every day, "Why are you do worried?"
"Master A'Sharad and Master Kenobi have received a message from a long-time friend of theirs. They have a mission for me, which involves leaving the Planet."
If Maul was angry he gave nothing away. "I do not believe that this is in your best interests. If you came up against the Emperor you would be destroyed. I do not believe that now is the right time for you to show yourself," Luke sighed, this was increasingly looking like it might turn into a fight. "You are going to go either way, so I am not going to fight you over it. In fact I shall accompany you to Mos Eisley." He got up and walked out of the Hut without another word. His lightsaber left behind finished construction and flew out of the room after it's master.
When the master and apprentice reached Mos Eisley Luke got off his speeder knowing that he would not see his master for a long time.
"What are you going to do?" Luke asked.
"I am going to the Huts, they owe me a debt that I am going to cash in." He looked out to the desert. "I never thought that I would have a legacy but," he paused looking right into Luke's eyes. "You, Luke Skywalker are my Legacy, and I am proud of you."
With that the Zabrak sped off on his speeder leaving Luke staring after him.
Luke turned around after a minute of thinking. He needed transport to Kashyyyk.
A/N Hi guys I am sorry that the update has taken so long.
If you read my other stories you will know why.
I am enjoying doing this but I seem to be writing much slower then normal and apologise for that.
I hope to be able to get another chapter out in a week or so as I am going to be on half term the week after next.
Thanks for reading and this is HCS signing off.
