Author's Note: New chapter. Whoohoo!


Piett and Vader stared at the monks.

"Excuse me?" Piett asked after a few moments.

"We have been awaiting your arrival, Chosen Ones."

Man and cyborg glanced at each other, still confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"You are two of the three Chosen Ones of Balance."

This only confused them even more.

"I still don't understand," Piett said.

The lead monk stepped forward.

"An ancient prophecy speaks of three who will restore balance. One is of Darkness, one is Light, and the third is of pure Balance."

He motioned to Vader.

"You are the one of Darkness."

He then motioned to Piett.

"And you are the one of pure Balance."

"So what about the one of Light?"

The old man smiled slightly.

"He will join us soon. For now, please come with us, and we will show you to your rooms."

The monks started to walk away, and Piett looked at Vader.

"What do we do, My Lord?"

"Follow them. If we want to know more about your powers and this prophecy, we have no choice."

The captain nodded, and they followed the monks into the temple. Once inside, the monks headed off in different directions, except the leader.

"Follow me."

He led them into the temple.

"Who are you?" Piett asked after a few moments upon realizing that he had no idea what the old man's name was.

"I am Sen."

For a moment the only sounds to be heard were their footsteps and Vader's respirator.

"What is this prophecy you speak of, Sen? It's similar to one I know, only the one I know has only one Chosen One."

Sen smiled slightly.

"Yes, the Jedi prophecy. It's actually the same prophecy, only misinterpreted due to vague visions."

"I see. Another example of the Jedi's blindness," he said.

"Oh, no, my friend."

The Sith frowned at the term. He wasn't this man's friend, or anyone's for that matter.

"Visions are often vague and can easily be misinterpreted. Misinterpreting a vision doesn't make one blind, only mortal."

With no response and knowing he was right, Vader said nothing more on the matter.

After a few moments of silence, which were a little awkward for Piett, the younger man spoke.

"So, Sen, do you know who the Chosen One of Light is?"

"Of course."

"Who are they?"

Sen stopped. Piett stopped as well. However, Vader, who had been busy looking at some artwork on the walls, didn't notice and walked right into the captain.

Piett staggered forward a couple steps as Vader stepped back. Having Vader walk into him felt like having a durasteel wall hit him.

"I'm apologize, Captain."

"It's fine, My Lord. No harm done."

He rubbed his back and winced at how tender it was. He was probably going to have a nice, big bruise in the morning.

"Well, no serious harm."

Vader looked at Sen.

"Why have we stopped?"

"There is another part of the prophecy."

The Imperials stepped closer, eager to learn more.

"The one of Light shall come from the one of Darkness."

"That's it?" Piett asked.

Sen nodded.

"What does it mean?"

Vader had only to think about it for a few seconds before the answer hit him.

"Luke."

"Lord Vader?"

He glanced at his companions. Piett was looking at him like he was being worry for his sanity, and Sen was smiling ever so slightly.

"Luke Skywalker is the Chosen One of Light."

Piett's expression changed to surprised.

"Yes."

"But what does it mean what it says he shall come from the one of Darkness?"

Sen looked at Vader.

"Perhaps he should tell you. It's not really my place to do so."

The captain turned his now confused face to his commander.

"Luke... is my son."

His eyes widened in shock.

"I was once Anakin Skywalker."

Piett's jaw dropped as he stared at Vader, absolutely dumbfounded.

Darth Vader, terror of the Empire, was Anakin Skywalker, the Hero With No Fear.


End Note: I think Piett's gonna be up for a while trying to process and make sense of all this.

Piett: You're the one who had them drop it all on me at once.

Me: You needed to know about Luke, and the simple logic would have led to the revelation of Vader being Anakin.

Piett: But still-

Me: Oh, shoo!

Piett: (huffs) Fine. (leaves)

Me: (sighs) Anyway, Luke will make his appearance in the next chapter. Please review.
