Four
Sarai was an interesting little girl, Luke noticed that almost immediately upon awaking to find the little girl's big green eyes fixed on him. Sarai gazed at him for a long moment before smiling and stretching out a small hand. "Hi," she said happily touching Luke's hand.
"Hello," Luke replied. He pushed himself into a sitting position before examining the girl as she climbed onto the couch beside him. Sarai smiled at him before glancing at the lightsaber that hung at his belt before she frowned, her tiny hands stretching toward the blade.
"Ah don't do that," Luke said shifting away from the girl to preventing the girl from grabbing the dangerous weapon.
Sarai frowned. "Daddy doesn't like that," she said pointing to the blade. "Daddy don't like people with that."
"So your mother said," Luke said. He gazed around with narrowed eyes. "Where is your daddy?"
"He went to call someone, don't know who, I heard scary voice though," Sarai admitted sounding scared.
Luke frowned. "Who was it?" he asked curiously.
Sarai shuddered. "He said the name Vader," she said after a moment's thought.
Luke stiffened at the mention of the name 'Vader'. Though he remembered very little, that name was something that he remembered above all else. The name that his father now went by, the name that Anakin Skywalker had taken when he turned to the dark side. Luke hardly remembered anything about his past since he woke up on Tynna but his father was one of the few things that he did still remember.
"What did he say to him?" Luke asked curiously as he thought about his father. He only knew that his father had once been known as Anakin Skywalker and was now known as Darth Vader but he couldn't seem to remember anything else about his father and he found that to be odd. He also wondered as to why Persas was speaking to Vader and what about.
"I didn't hear too well, asked for money I think," Sarai said. "He don't like you though. He wanna hurt you I think."
"Why do you say that?"
Sarai shuddered again. "I felt it," she said.
Luke frowned. Another thing that he remembered was the Force and the little training that he had in it even though he didn't remember who had trained him. He could tell immediately that Sarai had to be Force sensitive if she was somehow feeling her father's intentions.
Sarai is Force sensitive. I wonder if her parents know, Luke wondered silently. "Well, I suppose I should get going anyway," Luke admitted.
Sarai frowned. "You don't have way home," she said. "Mommy said that."
Luke grimaced knowing the little girl was right and not only did Luke not have a way off of this planet but he also didn't know where he was supposed to go. He couldn't remember anything as to who had sent him in this direction and how he had crash landed on Tynna.
"So I'm stuck here in other words," he said out loud.
Sarai shrugged. "I guess so," she said smiling.
Persas walked back into the living room at that moment before narrowing his eyes. "Sarai, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in bed," he said narrowing his eyes.
Sarai glanced at her father. "I wanted to make sure the boy was all right," she said happily.
"Go to bed, Sarai," Persas ordered sternly.
Sarai sighed. "Fine," she muttered before she glanced at Luke. "Bye," she said happily before she jogged away and disappeared into her room and the door slide closed behind her.
Luke gingerly pressed his foot onto the ground and felt relieved when no pain could be felt. He slowly stood up, placing his hand on the armrest of the couch to steady himself until he was sure he wouldn't fall and he stood up. Persas opened his mouth but before he could say anything, Luke walked around.
"It seems my ankle is well enough for me to walk again," Luke commented. He was starting to get suspicious and he knew that what Sarai said was true, he could sense through the Force that Persas meant him harm.
Persas narrowed his eyes. "That does not mean you are well enough to leave yet," he said.
Luke shrugged. "I'm fine now," he said. He gazed around. "Artoo?" He called.
Artoo rolled out of the kitchen before letting out a series of happy beeps and whistles that Luke couldn't understand. Although he didn't remember Artoo and only had the droid's word that he was his, Luke rather liked the little blue astromech droid. He also knew he had to be grateful toward the droid who had helped him and he knew that the droid had no way of knowing that Persas was up to no good.
Artoo rolled to Luke's side before turning his domed head toward Persas and let out a series of whistles. Luke glanced at his side and narrowed his eyes when he noticed his lightsaber was no longer clipped to his belt as if taken away when he turned his back before he lifted his gaze to Persas.
Persas smirked before he lifted a cylindrical handle off of the table in front of him. "Looking for this, Skywalker?" He asked.
Luke started. I never told him my last name, how does he know me? He wondered silently. He barely remembered his first name, and only because of the memory of that female voice, and the only reason he knew his last name is because he remembered his father and who his father had been before he became Vader.
"That's mine," he said.
"I know that, Skywalker," Persas said coolly. "Now then, sit down and we will not harm you."
"We?" Luke whirled around in time to find Ava standing behind him. Artoo beeped in shock before rolling to stand protectively in front of Luke. Luke turned his gaze to Persas who approached him slowly.
"You will stay here for the time being, boy," he said coolly. "And then you will be delivered to someone who shall pay me handsomely for your capture."
"Who? Vader?" Luke demanded.
"He or Emperor Palpatine," Persas said.
Luke frowned, his eyes narrowing as confusion went through him. "Who?" he asked.
Persas eyes went wide with shock. "You must be suffering from some sort of memory loss," he sneered, "if you do not know as to who rules the Empire."
Luke was confused but he did his best not to show it as he narrowed his eyes. "I will not stay here," he said firmly. "You cannot make me stay here."
"Oh I think I can," Persas snapped coolly before he pulled out a blaster and pointed it at Luke while Artoo was busy protecting Luke's back from Ava who had also pulled out a blaster. Luke stretched out with the Force before calling his lightsaber to his hand before Persas could stop him and he ignited the green blade.
Persas snarled in fury before releasing a series of blaster bolts at Luke who's little lightsaber training came back to him in the face of the oncoming blaster bolts and he managed to block all of them, sending them flying to the ground. The shocker on Artoo's head was keeping Ava at bay and Luke felt relieved that he wouldn't have to fight two people.
Persas snarled before he lifted his blade and quickly changed the settings before he lowered it and blasted it and a blue ring flew at Luke before slamming into him and he went flying to the ground immediately stunned. Artoo beeped and whistled in shock and anger as Persas moved to Luke's side and took his lightsaber.
"Bind him," Persas ordered Ava. "And get that damn droid to stop it before I kill the boy."
Artoo let out a sad whistle but didn't try to intervene as Ava grabbed Luke's stunned body and bound his arms and legs. "Where do I put him?" she asked grunting as she lifted the smaller but heavier boy into her arms.
"To the spare room," Persas ordered. He glanced at Artoo before adding, "and keep the droid here."
"Yes dear," Ava said before she turned around and carried the semi-conscious but stunned young Jedi down the hallway of the house before going to one of the rooms, pressing the door release button and slipping into it. She then placed Luke's body on the bed before turning around and making her way out of the room, closing the door behind her and plunging the room into silence.
"Lial will meet us at the edge of the forest where we are planning on landing," Leia said to the other Rebel leaders. "He knows the perfect location for our rebel base and he wants to take us there himself."
Mon Mothma nodded. "That sounds reasonable as Lial will know the planet better than we do," she admitted.
Ackbar turned his gaze to Han who was sitting at Leia's side. "Has there been any word on the whereabouts of Commander Skywalker and Captain Calrissian" he asked curiously.
"No, there has been no word on their whereabouts yet," Han admitted. "Luke should be back by now, I know that for a fact."
"Is it possible that Lando went after Luke?" Leia asked curiously glancing at Han with a raised eyebrow. She knew Han well enough to know that Han would be the kind of person to send Lando after Luke and keep Lando's cover.
Han hesitated for a split second before sighing and nodding. "He was concerned because Luke hadn't come back yet and he asked to go search for him. Chewie went with him," he said.
Leia narrowed her chocolate brown eyes. "Are you sure you weren't concerned about Luke, Han?" she asked.
"And why would you think that, your Worshipfulness?" Han retorted.
"Tell the truth, Han, for once in your life. Did you want to go after Luke?"
Han glowered angrily at her before he nodded curtly. "Lando insisted on going in my place and asked me to cover for him," he said finally.
"I don't think it's wise for Captain Calrissian to go after Commander Skywalker with the Empire also searching for Skywalker," Mon Mothma said softly.
"I trust Lando," Han said.
"I'm sure you do, Captain Solo," Ackbar said, "but there is no telling if the Imperials haven't found Commander Skywalker or Captain Calrissian by now."
"I don't think the Imperials have him yet," Han admitted.
Leia narrowed her eyes. "They could," she pointed out. "And I'm sure Vader is angry as we managed to escape with him after Bespin."
"Yeah I know that but I'm worried about Luke," Han said finally grudgingly admitting what Leia knew was true all along.
"Luke can take care of himself," Leia said.
"I know but look what happened to him the last time he met with Vader."
Leia shuddered at the memory. After his confrontation with Vader, Luke looked horrible, beaten, hollow and in pain, both mentally and physically. He had been physically and emotionally drained after the battle and he was on the verge of becoming melancholy from what Leia could tell. Leia wasn't entirely sure as to what brought Luke out of that state of mind but she hoped that she would never have to see her friend like that again.
"Well, we have to hope that Calrissian will find Skywalker before the Empire does," Mon Mothma said breaking into the conversation between the former Alderaanian Princess and the former smuggler.
"I hope so too," Leia admitted. "I suppose the only thing that we need to do right now is prepare the others for the landing on Adari. It would have gone a lot swifter if Lando and Chewie were here but I suppose we'll have to make due with who we have with us at the moment."
"It shouldn't take too long to land all of our troops," General Rieekan said.
"And we should be able to put up our defenses in no time," General Madine added.
"How do you think Lando, Luke and Chewie will be able to find us?" Han asked. "I know it'll not be safe for me to tell him of our location when he contacts me so how is he supposed to find us?"
"I suppose we will have to work that out when he contacts you," Ackbar said.
Leia glanced at Han as he grimaced before nodding sharply in reply.
As the meeting went on, Leia couldn't help but hope that Luke was all right.
Lando guided the Millennium Falcon through hyperspace before narrowing his eyes as he gazed at Chewbacca. "Do you have any idea as to where Luke could be, Chewie?" he asked.
Chewbacca shook his head before letting out a concern-filled growl before he gestured with a furry paw.
Lando grimaced. "Mon Mothma told me that Luke had been sent toward Osarian," he said. "Could there have been a problem? If so then which planet would he end up on?"
Chewbacca grunted before gesturing with his hand and Lando sighed. "I suppose I don't know either. I guess the only thing that we can do is go to Osarian and see if we can find any sign of Luke on that planet or on its' neighbor planet of Tynna."
Chewbacca barked in agreement and Lando dropped out of hyperspace before punching in the coordinates for the Tynna system before making the jump back to hyperspace. As they traveled through the silence of hyperspace, Lando found himself wondering about Luke. The boy he had helped save on Bespin had become like a friend to Lando and he hoped that he wouldn't lose the young Jedi in training.
Shaking his head to clear the unpleasant thoughts, Lando glanced at Chewbacca. "Let's hope we won't run into too much trouble when we reach the Tynna system," he mused out loud.
Chewbacca let out a barking laugh.
Lando smiled. "I wish Han was here," he said. "Then he could translate what you are saying though I'm pretty sure you said something along the lines of we always end up running into too much trouble. Am I right?"
Chewbacca barked in agreement and Lando laughed. "I knew I was," he said before he turned his gaze to the bluish white flashes of hyperspace.
A day went by and before long Lando found himself pulling the hyperspace lever and guiding the Falcon into the Tynna system. Chewbacca barked in surprise before pointing a furry paw toward the Super Star Destroyer that was floating in space nearby.
Lando swore. "That's not good. Hopefully they haven't noticed us yet," he said.
Chewbacca grunted.
"Yeah, I know it ain't likely but I can hope, can't I?"
Chewbacca barked in laughter as Lando slowly guided the Falcon deeper into the system.
