Chapter 3

Vader quickly walked to his office, putting his mental shields on maximum. As he kneeled down, the large Holographic image of Palpatine appeared before him. "What is thy bidding, my Master?"

Palpatine smiled, feeling a large wave of anger from his apprentice. "Lord Vader! Rise, my friend! I want you to go to Bespin."

"Bespin, Master?"

"Yes. It seems that the offspring of Anakin Skywalker is learning the ways of the force. He must be turned or killed."

Vader struggled to keep from hurting Palpatine where he stood. Palpatine felt this hate and smiled. "Off to Bespin, Lord Vader."

The Hologram then closed.

Bespin walked to his daughters quarters and knocked quietly. As soon as he heard Leia's "come in" he walked in to see her sitting on the couch watching a holovideo.

"What's wrong?" Leia asked, sensing her fathers dark mood.

Vader sighed. "Palpatine demanded that I go to Bespin, find your brother, and either kill him or turn him to the Dark Side."

Leia raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that what you wanted?"

Vader shook his head. "No! I don't want my son making the same mistake I did! I can't do it, Leia! I can't-" he broke off, sobbing.

Leia didn't hesitate but put her arms around him comfortingly. "I know Father. It's okay. You just cry it out." Vader kept sobbing.

"Are you feeling better now?" Asked Leia after serving herself some tea.

"Much," came the reply. "I won't do it Leia. I will not betray my destiny!"

Leia frowned. "Destiny?"

Vader looked at her. "I am the Chosen One. My destiny told the Jedi that I would end the Sith forever. But my injuries forbid me from facing Palpatine."

Leia looked thoughtful. "Wait a minute! If they can make clones, why couldn't thy regenerate body parts?"

Vader smiled under his mask. "Indeed! I will contact the prime minister of Kamino myself!"

With that, he strode out of the room.

"Yes Lord Vader, we probably can regenerate your limbs but we need to see the full extent of your injury."

Vader wanted to yell in excitement. His injuries could be repaired! "Very well," he said instead, "I will be there tomorrow at 22:00 hours."

Lama Su smiled. "Until the. My Lord."

Vader picked up his comlink and contacted Piette. "Captain, set course for Kamino."

"Your injuries are not as bad as we feared, my Lord."

Vader sighed impatiently. "So you can fix them?"

Lama Su smiled. "Yes we can. But it will require the rest of your day, I'm afraid."

Vader smiled. "I don't care. Just get me back to normal!"

Lama Su nodded. "Very well."

Vader woke up in a bed. He realized he had an itch on his head and reached up to scratch it with his hand. Wait a minute! He had a real hand! A real flesh hand! He looked up in excitement at Lama Su, who was waiting for him to wake up.

"Lord Vader, as you can see the regeneration surgery worked miracles. We placed you in a bacta tank to speed up the healing process."

"I see." Vader laughed, and was relieved to hear his own voice again. "When can I leave?"

Lama Su smiled at Vaders impatience. "Whenever you wish. You are fully stabilized and we took you off life support hours ago."

Vader immediately sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. "Thank you for all you've done, Lama." Lama Su smiled.

"It was our pleasure, Lord Vader."

Vader quickly dressed in his old Jedi clothes. "I will see you in a year," he stated as he threw Lama Su a valid 2 million dollar credit chip and ran out of the room.

Leia heard a knock and told her Father, whom she had sensed already, to come in.

"Leia! I'm healed!"

Leia smiled as she turned around. But what her eyes saw shocked her. She saw a very young looking and very handsome blonde man before her with sparkling blue eyes. "Wow!" She finally responded. "I can't believe..." They were interrupted by a knock. Vader frowned, sensing a very familiar presence. "Come in," he replied. At that moment the door flew open and Vader found himself being hugged by a very beautiful woman. "Ani, I've been looking everywhere for you!" The woman said, tears falling off her face.

Vader stared at the woman in shock. "PADMÉ?!"
