Chapter 2

Luke ran after Vader as more explosions rocked the ship. He thought very briefly of his friends, Han and Leia, but managed to chase them away. He didn't know what his father would think of his friends in the Rebel alliance. His mind suddenly flashed to the crash that had led to his first meeting with his father.

5 hours earlier

Luke sat in the cockpit of his X-wing. He and a few other pilots were chasing a few TIE fighters away from the Rebel base while everyone else was fleeing to an unknown location. Suddenly, out of the blue, a TIE fighter with bent wings appeared. Luke's mind flashed back to the battle of Yavin. Vader had shot down most of the 30 pilots, including his friend, Biggs Darklighter. Only four ships had survived the assault. Back in the present, Vader shot at Luke, hitting both of his starboard engines. Luke knew his ship was going to crash. He did everything he could, but the crash knocked him unconcious. As he blacked out, he didn't know wether he was going to live or die.

I see the pilot crash in the heavily forested woods. I know he'll be unconcious, but okay. I didn't exactly want to knock him out, but at least I didn't kill him. My mind suddenly turns to my wife, Padmè Amidala. 20 years have passed since her death.

20 years since I became more machine than man.

The mention of that day brings a name to my mind that has haunted me since that terrible day. Obi-Wan Kenobi.

He was the one that left me to die, burning on the slopes of a volcanic river. Ever since, I've hated the very mention of his name. I even thought killing him would bring me satisfaction. However, when that moment had come, I was left very confused, and unsure of what was in store for my future. I now kept his lightsaber as a trophy in the walls of Bast Castle, my private fortress on Vjun. During the battle of Yavin, I did my best to defend the Death Star, however, one pilot managed to evade me. I could sense he was strong in the Force. However, a laser blast from the Millennium Falcon and a panicked pilot sent me spiraling away from the Death Star. I was the only Imperial survivor of that day. When I learned of my son's existence, I suddenly realized that Palpatine had lied to me when he told me I'd killed my own wife. I now know that Padmè survived long enough to give birth to my son. After the last of the Rebels flee, I land on the ground. I see the pilot slumped over in the cockpit. I carefully extract him from the cockpit, before removing his helmet. I'm stunned by what I see. He has the same brownish-blond hair I once had. I carefully open his right eye. I am greeted with the same sky blue eyes as mine when I'm not immersed in the Dark Side of the Force. I tell the others, "Detain this Rebel, and put him in a holding cell. He may be useful in finding the Rebels' new secret base."

As he's carried away, I can't help but wonder why I never knew of him until now.

Present time

I leap into one of the few remaining escape pods, followed by Luke. I say, "We've only got a few minutes left to get out of here. After that, we're going to have to find shelter, somewhere."
Luke nods. I can feel his uncertainty through the Force. I'm still wondering why Obi-Wan didn't tell him the truth of his parentage. However, I have no time to contemplate the situation. As the escape pod blasts into space, I realize I have no idea what else to do from here.

Leia Organa was worried. She knew Luke hadn't yet arrived, and even worse, it had been 6 hours since anyone had seen him last. One pilot had said he'd seen Luke shot down. To her, that meant he was either a prisoner, or worse, dead. She knew that if Luke were a prisoner, he'd undergo unspeakable torture. She still carried the scars of her torture on the first Death Star. Then she remembered how Luke had been the one to get her off of the ship, and back to Yavin IV. She knew that she had to save her friend. And she knew who to ask for help.

A/N: (cues dramatic music)
Luke: I still can't believe Vader's my dad.
Me: By the way, where is Anakin?
Leia: Guys, come over here.
(Everyone walks over to where Leia's standing)
Me: Oh my GOSH! (Breaks out into laughter)
Luke: What's so funny? (Sees Vader kissing Han's ear in his sleep) Now that's funny!
Me: Obi-Wan? (Hands him a video camera) Will you do the honors?
Obi-Wan: Sure. (Starts filming)
Vader: (wakes up) AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Han: (wakes up) AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(both leap to their feet and run to the bathroom)
Han: (tries desperately to wash off his ear) I can't believe you were kissing my ear!
Vader: (scrubs his mouth out) Remind me never to have an all-nighter with you again!
Leia: This will probably win some money on AFV
Vader: What do you mean by that?! (Sees Obi-Wan with the camera) Obi-Wan you are so dead!
Me: Woah, woah, woah. You already killed him on the Death Star!
Vader: (facepalms) I hate logic. -_- (puts mask on)
Me: Uh, huh. That's right, Vadie.
Vader: What did you call me?!
Me: You heard me.
Vader: Sicko...
Me: Psycopath...
Luke: Before they really start calling each other names, this is Luke Skywalker signing off for Jojo1228. (Vader ingnites lightsaber) Hey, don't you dare!
