Disclaimer: The name Sohn Vader comes from the fan fic Penumbra by Treenahasthaal. Forgot to mention that in chapter one. Please don't sue me Treenahasthaal. That fic is one of my favorites and I love your other work too. I still have no beta. Sorry for grammer.
Leia sits up in her bed. Han comes in and sits down next to her.
"Hey. What's wrong?" Han asks.
"I don't know Han. I guess I just miss him." Leia says.
"Leia it's been almost a month since Wedge's call. I'm sad too but you may want to think about moving on." Han offers.
"But Luke's not dead! I know it! I would have felt him die." Leia insists
"But you can't use your secret twin connection so how do you know for sure?" Han questions
"I know I can't sense him, but if he had died I would have felt that. What I felt was simply getting cut off, like a dropped com call." Leia response.
"But how do you know what it feels like when one of you dies?" Han asks.
"I just know ok!" Leia yells. Leia looks at Han. "Han I'm sorry." She apologizes.
"No Leia you're right. I guess I'm just getting used to all this Force mumbo jumbo." Han admits. Leia smiles. "So you really think that Luke's still alive?"
"Yes." She nods.
"Then I believe you." "Thanks Han." Han gives her a kiss. "Well wherever he is I hope he isn't in too much trouble."
Luke looks out his window with a sigh. It's been almost a month since the Knights of Ren found him. No matter how much he insists on being called by Luke they refuse. To make matters worse the keep calling him lord Vader and say that his name is now Sohn Vader. Luke shakes his head. He doesn't want to be called lord Vader. He doesn't even want to be called my lord.
'What am I going to do? Can't use the force because of the yalsamri. I can't get out of the castle and even if I could all they have for ships are Tie fighters without hyperdrives.'
Mindy enters carrying a tray of food. "Here's your lunch my lord." She says setting the tray down on a small table.
Luke looks back. "Thank you Mindy."
"A pleasure my lord. Always glad to be of service to the son of lord Vader." She says leaving the room.
Luke sits down to eat. 'Well at least the food is good.' he thinks to himself.
After Luke is done eating Mindy returns to take the tray. "My lord the council believes that perhaps you should visit the village. Maybe when you meet the people there you will see why you are so important to us."
"Alright." Luke says. "Splendid! I'll go get your guards!" Mindy quickly leaves the room and returns a few minutes later with four guards. The guards a dressed in black Storm Trooper like armor with a lightsaber and blaster. "These will be your guards. They will protect you from anyone who may want to hurt you."
"Thank you Mindy. I guess I'll be going." Luke walks out of his room with the guards following him. When he leaves the proximity of his room he can suddenly feel the Force again. He reaches out to the Force but immediately pulls back when he touches it.
'I haven't touched the force for so long that I forgot how strong the Dark Side is here.'
They walk through the many halls and the leave the castle through the main door. Luke looks around at the door. There's a metal gate that rises to let people in or out and a draw bridge that allows them to cross a river surrounding the castle. They come to the edge of a cliff and Luke sees that the castle is located on a high cliff overlooking a large village.
"Wow…" Luke says taking in the view.
"The castle was built on this cliff for when the volcano erupts." One of the guards explains
"Yes. That way when the lava flows down the villagers have a place to go when their homes are destroyed. Although we never have to worry about that when we have a Dark lord. They are responsible for protecting the village from natural disasters." Another guard says.
They walk down a path leading to the village. When there people come up to see their new Dark lord. Luke is quickly surrounded by them as they yell praises to him making him quite uncomfortable.
"Don't worry my lord." One of the guards says, "Your father didn't like all this attention either."
"Yes. He mainly stayed in the castle when he visited." Another guard says.
As they walk through the crowd a young woman of about 19 years walks up to Luke.
"Hello my lord." She says bowing,
"Hi!" Luke says. He looks at her a sees that she is strikingly beautiful. She has long curly black hair, has a medium build and is rather tall. "What is your name?" Luke asks her.
"I was a Jedi Padawan called Mara Jade, but now I am known as Midna Twi-Light my lord."
"You were a Jedi?" Luke asks
"Yes. My master and I fled to this planet during the purges. We were captured until your father found me and trained me to be an Inquisitor. He left me here so I could help protect the village from wild animals that lurk in the forest. It was then that I became an official member of the Knights of Ren and changed my name to what it currently is."
Luke nods as he listen to her story. "Well I'm glad that I got a chance to meet you Midna. Maybe I'll see you again sometime?"
"Oh I do hope so my lord. Until then have a good day."Midna bows and leaves.
Luke looks on as Midna leaves then turns to his guards and tells them that he's ready to go back to the castle. When he returns to his room he finds that the yalsamiri have been removed. He decides to try mediating to see if he can touch the light side. When he does he's shocked to find that there is some light. He follows to see where it comes from and finds that it comes from his own light as well his father's. He's puzzled as to why that is but assumes that it's because his father died in the light. 'Perhaps the Force here is influenced by whoever is or was the Dark lord.' He muses.Mindy brings in dinner which Luke ears. After she takes the tray he showers then goes to bed. "Leia if you can hear me then please help me.' He calls out then falls asleep.
Courasant
Han walks into Leia's apartment and finds her pacing back and forth. "Still thinking about Luke?" He asks.
Leia stops for a moment. "Yes. I know He's still alive."
"And you are right"
Leia spins around a sees an older gentalmen outlined in blue.
"Anikin." Leia says flatly.
"Leia." Anikin replies.
"What are you doing here?" Leia questions angrily.
"I'm here to tell you that your brother is in fact still alive and he needs your help."
"Why should I listen to you?" Leia asks angrily.
"Because I want to help my son." Anakin response.
Leia begins pacing again.
"Leia your brother needs you. He's in grave danger." Anikin pleads
"How can I help him if I don't even know where he is? When Wedge called he was shot down during the call. As such we have been unable to trace the call. All we know is that they were somewhere in the Unknown regions."
Anikin sighs. "I know where he is."
Leia stops. "Where?"
"I can't give you exact coordinates because to find that place you need to use the Force. Only a Force user who's had at least a small run in with the Dark Side is able to find the system. Unless you are with someone who qualifies."
"But Luke never used t" Anakin response sadly. "It was during our last duel on board the second Death Star. I picked up on his thoughts and discovered that you where his sister. I then foolishly threatened you causing him to lose control of his anger. He attacked me using the Dark Side and very nearly fell as a result. Thankfully he came back and I'm sure he's told you the rest."
Leia nods.
"Umm Leia? Who are you talking to?" Han asks.
"No one important Han. I'll be with you shortly." Leia tells him. "Hmm. So that's how he got there and since Wedge was with him that's how he got in." Leia says thinking out loud. "But how am I supposed to get there? I barely even know how to use the Force."
Anikin sighs. "Yes but anger towards me, even though it's justified, has put you close enough that you will have no problems finding it."
Leia nods. "So why is Luke in danger?"
"He's been captured by a cult that worships the Dark Side of the Force and any Sith lord they deem worthy of the title Dark lord, although they will never admit the last part. I, unfortunately, was one of them." Anikin sighs. "Shortly before the battle of Endor I knew that my time may be short, but I didn't want to leave them without a leader, so I told them about Luke."
"And now they want Luke to lead them."
Anikin nods. "The group is called the Knights of Ren after their founder."
Leia nods. "Ok. Come on Han! I know where Luke is."
"Wait!" Anikin yells. Leia turns around and gives him a hard stare. "Before you go you must go the forest moon of Endor. There you must find the remains of my helmet."
"We don't have time to run errands for you." Leia says.
"But you must go there and get the helmet before the Knights of Ren do, or they may use it to help turn Luke to the Dark Side!" Anikin pleads.
Leia thinks for a moment. "Alright fine! We'll go get your helmet if it will help Luke." she says.
"Thank you. Now hurry!"
"Han let's go!"
"Sohn Vader still will not accept his place as our new leader. He won't even accept the Dark Side. We must perform the ritual!" Torne Night yells.
"But that's not what his father would want!" Anju Darklighter says.
"Yes, but don't forget that he would have done anything to get Sohn to use the Dark Side." Miser Wok reminds them
"But the ritual?" Anju asks.
"We need our Dark lord. The volcano could erupt again any day now and only the Dark lord can keep the lava from destroying the village." Jason New-bark says.
"I agree. We have no choice." Roscoe Thompson says. "As such I have already sent out scouts to retrieve the remains of lord Darth Vader's helmet."
"If I may say something." The sorceress asks.
"Of course Sorceress. You may speak." Roscoe says.
"We do not even know if Sohn will even survive the ritual. I suggest that first we make sure that he has an heir."
The council all nods in agreement. "I heard that he met Midna Twi-Light. A powerful Inquisitor who worked for his father. I believe that she could give Sohn a powerful heir." Roscoe says. Everyone nods.
"We can have her sleep with lord Vader until she conceives his child." Torne says,
"Yes, but lord Vader will never do something like that." Anju points out.
"Well if she is unable to seduce him, then she can always drug him." The Sorceress suggests.
Roscoe nods. "Then it's settled. We will perform the ritual after Midna gives birth to lord Vader's heir."
"Here's to our new Dark lord and his future heir!" Miser shouts raising a glass. "Here here!"
