Ugh, this didn't come as well as I thought it would.
There are time jumps in this chapter so bare that in mind. They are marked.

About four months later . . .
Leia wanted to throw something. They had caught the young men, nobles, responsible for raping her and Winter but the trial was going nowhere fast. It was quickly turning into a debate over her parentage and that the young men weren't completely responsible for their actions.
She grabbed the nearest breakable object and hurled it at the wall where it shattered. She felt a little bit better but not by much.
She just wished that those young men, she refused to even think of them by their names, they didn't deserve the honor, would suffer badly for what they had done to her.
She hated them with every fiber of her being. Because of them her cycle had stopped; stress the medical droid had told her.
She finally headed over to her wardrobe and selected a dress for the latest debate. It wasn't until after she adjusted it that she noticed that it was tight on her lower body. She frowned but dismissed it. Between all the drinks that were chalkful of vitamins, minerals and all sorts of other stuff, a few hearty meals and the fact that she barely left her room for anything the past few months she was bound to have put on weight.
She pulled her boots on, clipped on a belt and started to braid her hair. She decided that she would just have it a simple braid down her back.
She examined herself in the mirror. Her eyes had a dull look to them and had she looked haunted. Winter wasn't much better off then her. But at least she didn't stay in her family's chambers all day.
Leia smiled after a few minutes. Maybe she should go to the gardens after this day's debate was over.

R2 felt pretty pleased with himself. He had managed to get into a Imperial Base and get to a data jack undetected. He knew that those so called nobles weren't going to be brought to justice so he decided that it was time to get Anakin/Vader involved. He wouldn't tell him Leia's true identity but remind him of the respect that he at least once had for Bail Organa and let him know if he already didn't know that Leia had been brutally raped just because she was adopted.
He found himself wishing that he could see the looks on the faces of those sleemos parents' faces when their sons were killed.
It was a piece of cake to slice into the Imperial Network seeing that Anakin/Vader's passcodes were very similar to the ones that he had before. R2 briefly wondered if one of his passcodes was Padmé's and his marriage date. He didn't dare try just in case it was a really high up one and then he'd get suspicious as to why something knew that one.
He moved through the system until he switched to several different officers in an effort to cover his trail.
Finally he found a way to send the message to the man he still considered a friend.
Once he was done he made sure that he could get back to Alderaan and left. He felt quite smug knowing that the odds were decent that Anakin/Vader would act on the message.

It had been a long day and Vader was looking forward to getting some rest. He entered his private chambers and entered his hyperbaric chamber and sat down.
A light blinked that he had a urgent message.
It was fairly short but to the point. Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan had been raped by the sons of some nobles and that the way things were going now justice would never be served. It was basically a plead that if justice wasn't served to kill them.
It went on to say that at one point he had respected Bail Organa enough to destroy the flagship of a Separatist fleet to help save his life.
Vader felt some concern that this person knew who he was but felt himself calming down at the thought that this wasn't blackmail but a plea to help a man that had his respect.
He nodded his head. If justice wasn't served those Hutt Slimes would pay with their lives.

Bail nearly stalked out of the Courtroom. Those, those, barbarians; were being allowed to leave Alderaan on some sort of retreat.
He found himself hoping that they got captured by pirates or something similar.
Once he was back at the Palace he went to Leia's suite to see how she was holding up to the ruling only to find the whole suite empty.
Concerned he quickly retrieved his commlink. "Captain Wills, is Leia in the Palace?" he asked as calmly as he could. "One moment," Wills answered. "She's in the kitchen eating." Bail sighed with relief. "Thank Captain," with that Bail cut the transmission and pocketed the commlink once again.
Bail calmly walked to the kitchen. Once he arrived he was pleasantly surprised to see Leia eating something at a small table.
As he approached she looked up and gave him a weak smile. On a plate on the table was a plate completely covered in fried tubers, a glass of blue milk and what appeared to be a bottle fried tuber sauce.
"Can I have a few?" he asked her. Her smile brightened a bit. "Sure," she replied. Bail reached over and selected one. He put in his mouth and nearly choked. The stuff on the fried tubers wasn't fried tuber sauce but some type of hot sauce.
Leia winched. "I'm sorry, I should have told you that I put a hot sauce on instead." She commented.
Bail nodded and took a drink of water. It only made it worse. "Here," Leia said handing him her glass of blue milk.
He took a few sips and his mouth felt better almost immediately.
It wasn't until he set the glass down that it occurred to him that Leia usually didn't care for most hot sauces.
Well, she could change he told himself. Taste buds changed over the years.
"Once I'm done can we walk in the gardens?" Leia asked after she finished chewing a fried tuber. Bail smiled, that was encouraging if she wanted to go and walk in the gardens.

Two weeks later . . .
Ria Hoka felt concern. She hadn't heard from her son Rian since he and his friends left on retreat. She felt some concern but not a lot. Rian would go places and then not comm her the whole time he was gone.
Suddenly a servant approached her. "Excuse me my Lady but Alderaanian Security called telling to report to their office in Aldera." The girl told her.
Ria sighed. If those goons couldn't see that their attempts to punish her son for raping the so called princess weren't going to go anywhere then she would put them in their place.
She stalked to her speeder and had the driver take her to the Aldera Security Office. When she arrived the officers there had a mixture of smug and troubled expressions.
What had Rian done now? She wondered angrily.
An officer came up to her a few minutes after she arrived. "Lady Hoka, follow me." He ordered. She followed him through the corridors of the the building until they reached an area that was nearly devoid of people.
Finally they entered a side room. The room was dark and cold. The officer moved forward and did something and the lights came on.
Ria gasped at the sight of Rian laying dead on a table, his lifeless eyes wide with fear.
"He and his other friends are all dead. They were tortured to death and then shipped straight to this office. There was a message that was sent back with them. In a nutshell it says that this is what happens to those that not only rape females and then seek to escape justice."
Ria could only stare at her lifeless son.

I know that I said that Din would die in this chapter but I felt that this needed to be wrapped up so this Tuesday or Wednesday Din will die.
