Note: I noticed that it was suppose to be Admiral Piette and not Captain,
so when I get the chance I will be reposting that part with the corrected
title.
Chapter Four
Luke looked down as he received a message from his father; it was his authorization codes to come aboard the Executer. He smiled inwardly as he lifted off the hanger bays and started climbing hard for the sky, he sighed wondering where the loyalty lied on his fathers ship. Maybe they would not try to go against his father, he prayed that this would be the case. He watched as Tie fighters met him and formed a protective barrier around his x-wing as Luke dialed in access codes to his father's flagship.
"Commander Skywalker this is Executer, Lord Vader will be meeting you when you land."
"I copy Executer. I am beginning my landing approach lower the shields." Luke answered nervously; he headed towards the landing bay and watched as the hanger bay opened for him, the tie fighters broke off and went back to their designated spots. He marveled at the size of the ship as he followed the markers in.
After landing Luke looked out the window and noted there were storm troopers standing behind his father; their blasters were at ceramal rest. Luke's heart rate quickened, this was it he would join his father and they would begin their search for Leia.
He reached up to pop the cockpit open and took off his helmet; he placed it under the seat and stood up on the seat. He began his descent down the ladder and walked over to where his father was waiting.
Luke looked around him at the show of power his father held, he shook his head at the size of the ship. "I see that you are impressed." Vader said as he broke into Luke's thoughts.
Luke nodded as he fell into step beside his father. "I am. It's an impressive ship."
"Indeed it is." Vader replied as they continued onto the room he had in mind for Luke to stay in while he was aboard the ship.
Luke noted that an Admiral was trailing them at a respectful distance. "Father, you know who has Leia?"
Vader kept walking not answering for a few minutes before answering. "I do, Palpitine does and I am not about to let him train Leia. I know what he does to his female apprentices."
Luke nodded in somber silence, that's why he was so willing to help. Except he knew that his father would rather train Leia himself. "Come back to the lightside, rejoin the jedi order."
Vader was silent before answering his son. "It's too late for me son, I have made this choice long ago."
"No it's not, father I can feel the conflict with in you let go of your hate." Luke pressed hoping to get through to him. "You want to save Leia, you are protecting her like any father would."
Vader looked down on Luke's hip noting that he had a new lightsaber constructed. "I see that you have constructed a new lightsaber."
Luke's hand dropped down where his lightsaber hanged off his belt. "I have, I do not carry yours anymore."
They stopped at a door that was beside Vader's chambers, he punched in the access codes and turned his attention to Luke. "While you stay on this ship, these will be your quarters. I will give you a few minutes to settle in, we will be jumping with in the hour. I want you to re-join me on the bridge, your things will be sent over shortly."
"Thank you father." Luke answered as he walked into room and turned on his heel to watch his father walk out of the room.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Luke approached his father's side at the end of the bridge where he was overlooking the stars. He wondered if this was his father's usual behavior, he did not know much about him but he would love to learn more about his past. "So where are we headed now?" Luke asked in curiosity.
"A planet called Wayland." Vader replied as he turned his attention to Admiral Piette. "Admiral set your course for Wayland."
"Yes Sir." Piette answered as he barked out orders.
Luke pondered trying to place the name of the planet but couldn't. "Never heard of it."
Vader turned his attention to Luke, "I'm not surprised, Palpitine has a warehouse on that planet and he did wipe the coordinates from the computer base at the old temple."
Luke nodded in deep reflection. "Who was she? Our mother?"
Vader did not turn his attention to his son. "Padme Amidala. She was elected queen at fourteen and started serving as senator after her two terms were up. She was from Naboo."
Luke nodded as he filed the information away. He could detect sadness and loneliness in his fathers' feelings at the mention of his wife, he sighed as he eyed the black mask and armor that was separating him from his father. "And the grave at the old homestead? Uncle Owen never told me who she was."
"My mother, she was your grandmother." Vader answered his son letting some grievance show. "She died in my arms after I found her with a Tuskan Raider group."
Luke nodded as a flashback occurred, he found himself in a tent, and he looked over to see a man in his late teens holding a woman in her mid fifties. He was crying as her head lolled back and he watched as his father stood up and walked out of the front door of the tent and ignited his blue lightsaber and began to kill everything that moved. Luke knew that this was a big part of his father's downfall to the darkside. He shivered to the thought and looked over at his father, who was watching him carefully. He swallowed hard as he turned his attention back out the window.
-----------------------------------------------
Leia sat down on the bed in her room that Palpitine gave her. She shuddered to the thought at what he told her. Vader was her biological father? Palpitine gave her proof on top of proof that he was telling the truth. Palpitine even told her, what her mothers name was. Padme Amidala. She sighed as she curled into a ball and cried. Why didn't Bail tell her this? Palpitine was able to shed light on everything about her biological parents past.
The door swished open and Palpitine hobbled in, followed by a red haired green-eyed woman. "So have you given up Skywalker? Are you ready to start your training in the darkside?" Palpitine cackled as he seen how his proof had taken it's toll on the older twin.
Leia slowly nodded as she made a vow to try and keep herself in the light until Luke came to rescue her. Picking up on her thoughts Palpitine gloated. "I have heard some interesting news, your father and brother have teamed up and are looking for you."
Leia sighed, wondering if they made some sort agreement to work together, which only meant that her father did not like the idea of her being in Palpitine's presence. She sighed as she nodded, "I'm ready." She steeled herself waiting for Palpitine to start laughing in triumph but nothing short of astonishment came from him, almost like he was expecting her to argue with him.
"Very well. Mara Jade, take her to the shooters range there she will learn how to sharpen her skills using the force." Palpitine said as he turned to his hand.
"Yes my master." Mara replied as she motioned for Leia to follow her to the range, they walked out of the room at a fast pace.
Leia followed Mara to the shooting range, she shivered at the thought of what she has been told. She felt cold all over and everything she looked at felt cold to her. // It's the darkside you feel // Luke's voice echoed through her mind, she listened to Luke as he described what the darkside felt like. Deep down she knew that Luke was trying to prepare her for the devastating news about their father. That's why he was so reluctant to tell her at first.
Leia was so distracted she didn't notice the door she walked through until Mara broke into her thoughts. Mara handed Leia a gun, a pair of goggles and headphones. "Wear these, they will protect your hearing and these will protect your eye sight."
Mara walked over to the first booth. She hit a button and a target dropped down, she spoke and the target moved out to 400 feet. Mara turned to Leia and motioned her over.
"Tap into the force like Skywalker showed you and aim." Mara said as she aimed at the target and pulled the trigger. Leia watched in horror astonishment as the bolt hit the target dead on in the middle of the forehead.
Leia aimed as Mara showed her and tapped into the force to enhance her vision, she was surprised at how easy it was and nailed the target at 400 feet away. She smiled in satisfaction.
Mara nodded as she spoke and a new target replaced the old one, she hit a button that made it slide back another 200 feet. Mara aimed as she tapped into the force, and fired her blaster. She used the force to direct the blast into her victim's head.
Leia swallowed as she followed Mara's lead and nailed her victim on the first try.
Mara smiled as she made a note for Palpitine to go over. "Impressive, you're a quick learner."
"What's next on the agenda?" Leia asked in anticipation.
"Explosives." Mara replied simply as she turned her attention back to her next set of instructions. "Ok, we're headed off to the chemicals compounds, with your experience in the rebellion I don't think you should have any trouble with this at all."
Leia nodded in agreement her thoughts turning to Han who showed her a few things about explosives and about how she should use it only in a life or death situation. The way Mara spoke it, made her wonder if they used it more then what Han told her.
